Your maths is strange

In 2022 a 50cl bottle of coke was n100. Today it is 400 to 500.

I Bought a workstation for 600k in 2018.today that 2017 laptop costs more fairly used than I bought it. Maybe over 1m sef


A lot of people don't have the money to buy their assets at today's prices

And independents can cut corners when building stations.

Well, you might be right....

izzou:
[color=royalblue]How much do you think it is worth?[/color]

I don't know how much it'll cost, but I know two people that own filling stations, and I don't believe either of them have 500m

GloriousGbola:
it is not worth it to dangote. retail comes with a lot of wahala

he is already making his money. the ma has not finished his refinery gbese - he will now start station gbese.

brand new station from scratch can be over 500 million. usually people just lease existing stations and rebrand - but those come with their own issues.

One filling station is 500m?

Y'all exaggerate some of these things.

@PDPguy I think having someone over there also help to reduce the cost or at least reduces the stress. A distant cousin of mine japaed to the UK earlier this year and I doubt that nigga had 20m talk less of 50m. He had someone who already reside there that did a lot of work for him. So I think that also influences the cost.

PDPGuy:
So give or take one currently needs around 50m to japa to the UK. You see why someone said "Na millionaires dey japa' cuz how common man wan take get that kind of money

Real. One of my big bros told me he has 15m and wants to Japa to Canada, I told him bros that amount won't get you anywhere this is not 2018, well he just kept on arguing with me.

To Japa now you need nothing less than 40m. Although I think Asian countries are cheaper because a lot of my friends have japaed to Asian countries this year.

Izuchukwu70:
I'm glad he got himself a black girl. Not all these sports guys with lightskin and white girls. Shout out to all my darkskin African Queens.

Is it a competition? These sort of talks seems like inferiority complex.
Black girls are not undesirable, whether sport stars date them or not, there are people that will date them. Don't make it seem like black sport stars choosing them is what determines if they're desirable or not. In the end, everything comes to choice and environment.

Ibime:
I no dey watch am jare

Any movie that does not offer the option of falling asleep while I'm watching is dead on arrival. I can't be opening eye to read subtitles for a whole TV series

You done being another nonsense recommendation come again

Lmao

You're really a militant.

Spy360:
You mean in reality, people can do evil and get away with it without any form of consequence?

Are you really asking this?

I had a friend who always complained that if he had the knowledge he had now( this was like three years ago) he wouldn't have done masters degree, that it is useless. This was someone that almost made first class in his first degree, and had first class in Masters. We talked extensively on the topic.
Almost all graduates think they have everything figured out, until reality happens to them. Well, some people go to school for the sake of attending school.

Na see finish go make stranger konk you for bus sha. Like wtf? The woman don look okpa from head to toe say who be this bagger,

Shegzdave:
Them say na GUIDING 101 Tax them before them bill you

That's fvcked up. Unless my account is reading 0.00 I don't see any reason why I should bill anybody. But you'd see people have millions and still be disturbing you for money. Na the witchcraft people dey talk about be that.

DrAda:
Can Peter Obi donate to me and my course?

I promise to use the money judicuously

Course??

GloriousGbola:
I don't understand all this talk. We saw one skinny albino bullying an Uber driver and threatening him.

But we expect someone in a 2010 corolla to take up a crazy guy in a g-wagon?

Las Las if it enter social media the big guy will do fake apology. Maybe not even them

Maybe if na prosper wey dent him car

You know the drill 👏🏾

Most Nigerians also worship money. Irrespective of how the driver is built, as long as he knows the person he bashed his car is richer and more connected, he won't reciprocate those blows. This isn't a Western country, like theflint said, unless the plan is to knock out the person and escape, that will be suicide. After you reciprocate the blows, you'll be fvcked.
That's when the saying "he who runs away, lives to fight another day" becomes important.

They'll fvck you up, and nothing will happen oh. They might even off you, highest within months you'd be forgotten.

Theflint1:
Lol...I doubt e don old reach like dat.

I legit didn't know who that was until I saw your comment about Nigerian winning CAF best player, that's when I knew it was a footballer. To be honest, the only football knowledge I have is from nairaland. Any thing I know about football and most other sports is from here, so don't blame me if I don't know him because I'm not a sports person at all.

I even thought the person in the picture is airmark.😅

airmark:
Incoming...

Who is that?

The comments

iamoyindamola:
This one weak me😂

It really amuses me why people do that. Why will I have money and still be billing others? Is that not low budget madness? What's the essence of making money if you don't want to spend it .

Roland17:
You are assuming every Nigerian would defer to the guy. If he pulled the door and found a man built just as he is built, would he continue punching? If he opened the door and met a hot tempered man who is black belt holder and boxer ready to match his madness, would he continue punching? I don't think this has to do with being in Obodo Oyibo.

As long as he knows he has more money, leverage, and, influence, yes he'll slap you and expect you to respect the money. You understand the confidence that comes with being rich.

Oga no dey see all those muscles you dey talk about so oh, the only thing he sees when looking at the other person is that the other person is in a lower status.

etrouble:
Go and instigate them to protest and see how bullets will fly, you think Tinubu is Goatluck Jonathan abi. Go to the streets and waste your life

This is someone's reply to a post that called for UniAbuja students to protest due to the name of the school being changed.

Na for country like this person wan carry Corolla go fight person wey get Gwagon? They'll just off you and nothing will happen ni.

Roland17:
Again, he met someone who he can bully. Yes, the guy hit his car but once you start throwing punches, it is fair game!
If he wants his car fixed, let’s go to his preferred repair shop. If he wants to call police, call police but punching repeatedly like that is only because he met someone he can bully.
If he met his match and someone as tempered as he is, “keep it moving” will turn into an all out.

You seriously think it is everyone that was allow to him continue throwing punches like that because I hit your Gwagon? Naaa fam!

This is an American perspective.

Let's say you drive a 5m car and you hit a 100m car, even if the owner hit you due to annoyance you'd likely just be begging him and not angling to fight him, because someone that can afford to get such car likely has some police, army, and possibly political contacts that can fvck you up. And knowing this is Nigeria where anything goes, if they arrest you you'll really suffer oh.

Nigeria is not obodo oyibo .

nihilistjnr:
OkpaNsukkaisBae, Assad has said that Russia Mossad the Assad. He said he didn't want to step down, and Russia forced him, and now Putin doesn't even have any interest in meeting him


Oya come and explain...

Didn't he(prospa/okpa) say the west is responsible for what happened in Syria?

Asssad should be careful if he doesn't want to fall from plane or die from sitting on a toilet.

iamoyindamola:
Exactly that figure is not true
And people hardly go to cinemas because it’s getting expensive
Aunty funke they lie jare, people are even talking more about seven doors that came out on Netflix on Friday than jenifa that she has milked every juice out of

And they're hardly filled up. I'm referring to the cinema.
15 people, sometimes less. So, how did she do it?

Theflint1:
Those VVIP dem dey do na just way to take support themselves, hardly you go see regular fans dey pay outrageous amounts like dat.

Fans are paying it. It's either people are lying that Nigerians are broke, or...... I don't even know what to say....

Raumdeuter see your country people
No money but cinema they sell

Fake lives everywhere

Money no dey and people dey flex. One of my cousins got a car of 18m some weeks back , meanwhile he's always complaining that he doesn't have money. People hardly admit they have money in this country. When party start you go see doings you go come dey wonder if no be person wey bill you last month be this wey dey throw bundles.
Some people are weird sha, they'll have money and still be billing others. I don't understand if they don't want their own to finish if that's why they do that.

Npf really needs to restrategize because the kind of posts being posted and viewed by millions all over the world on X is not good for their image at all. But knowing NPF, I doubt they care about what any bagger posts online, even if it gets viewed by a billion people. They'd still collect their share when they see you offline.

BlueRayDick:
So u really think the policemen that collected their phone at the counter to avoid any recording will be daft enough to collect transfer from her for the bail ? 🤷‍♂️

They will most likely collect cash in order not to leave any paper trail of evidence . Even if the boy had written any statement , it will be torn to shreds the moment he gets bailed by the parents .

If she mentions the DPO name , he will deny the incident ever happened since there’s no evidence .

In glorious's voice you're ascribing too much competence to the Nigerian Police Force. They can, and have went lower than you think.

Shegzdave:
Na person wey hand never touch Dey form patriot. When hand touch Me sef last year, that changed my thought about the Nigerian police and the country as a whole.

Before then I was a very Patriotic citizen, that’s why I don’t blame people like her who had same ugly experience like I did

Gloriousgbola defends most of the ills of this country/gov most times, and I can't help but wonder why.

Nigerians care too much about perception. The funny thing is they don't try to change the narrative, but get bitter and petty when someone abroad or someone rich point out the flaws in the country. They know what you're saying is right, but they don't want you to say it as a rich person, foreigner, or a Nigerian living abroad "because you're not one of us".

shortgun:
One full chicken for 2.5k?
It's 15k in Nigeria

15k? Are you sure you've bought chicken this year?

Itsrm:
Fixed. It's more than a mercenary organisation

Y'all should be careful. There could be a government spy here. In Nigeria anything goes.

seankafor:
like bluray said,it depends on waht you want it for, i know someone who got police report for around 40k when he wanted to process his japa papers.

it seems that the case there, a very big deal was invloved hence the 700k, or maybe they didnt bargain well or look elsewhere or maybe just maybe,the errand runner front ran everyone and inflated the price for his own selfish gain

I was shocked when I saw 700k because I've seen people get it for 20-40k too. It really depends on who wants it, what it's wanted for etc. I'm sure some people will get it for free sef.

GloriousGbola:
when you were enjoying ya doggystyle you did not come here to complain.

suck it up

your boy will be fine

he will become a CFO or a militant
