Mr Arnold, who is no more than a former local government chairman in His country. should face His more serous issues at Home like the declining economy and the failed US iran war, instead of using Nigeria to chase relevance and clout.

Nah its l azy people like you who think and allow the ills of the society weigh them, just like the wheelbarrow, it stays where you leave them until you start again, cos you cannot see beyond your nose, you do not realize in todays money 510 pounds is more than a million naira. In the UK and average single youth saves up to iK pounds a month and send home to his Nigerian account this is nearly N2m per month, you call this Lazy, all yah must be Dangote in your household, I'm stating facts here you are here talking gibberish. You tell me the laziness of someone saving almost N2m monthly through honest work in the UK,does this until they turn 30 and return to Nigeria to do his dream Business? I challenge you to show me the laziness in that. You mentioned criminality, my friend I think you are out of touch, people come to the UK to do Masters and find work afterwards. I know those who came via COS paid up to N20m and where being ridiculed but they have swap their COS unto the ministry of Justice and earn just below 40K pounds B4 overtime pays, My lil cozen he is 21,5yrs old, he does not want to live in the UK permanent, so he is keeping a low profile and saving all his earnings, he is going to do that for at least till he turns 30 so he says then Foxtrot Oscar to Nigeria ,he already banking lands, if all goes well he might just have up to N300 to 400m by the time he returns God willing, how's is this lazy?If you look deeply, you will realize that a sizeable percentage of all our politicians came abroad to hustle for their initial Money, ava look. You mentioned Intimidate, why would I want to do that,? and you also mentioned millions blah blahh blah, I don't engage in competition of measuring Dycks but whatever floats your paper, anyone can be anything online.
All of this long story for what? I am not reading it. Sorry

you missed the point and took the post wrongly. Now calling a person you don't know Lazy proves you are way too lazy to digest the post and make an informed decision ,By initial Capital, it means the ready initial funds in Millions to start a business in Nigeria, If one can raise N50m and they are less than 30 years Old, the sky is their limit i n Nigeria cos they can do proper Biz, now tell me where in Nigeria can someone less than 30 raise N50m in savings to start business? What bank is g oing to give him that money? however if a 22 year old person comes to the UK legally, he can save that up easy if he wants to, very easy,YOu term fast money as being lazy,Coming abroad to earn quick is fast money and I kid you not, there aint nothing lazy about it, at 25, I had my masters Degree already in the UK.To save Ik pounds monthly is very easy for a young single person under 30 years old
Whatever makes you feel good.

While i avoid generalizing, I did see a common thread of lazy thinking in your initial response. And the fact that you jumped to millions further buttresses my suspicions.

You want to jump from zero to millions, which is how lazy minds think. You are not even ready to be faithful in 10,000 naira but you are lookimg for millions first, before you think you can start, millions that you dont believe you can ever have in naija except as a criminal. Yet you somehow find a way to have, when you want to japa. Oh, i guess that also is only by criminality. You See why i think you and such people are lazy mindedhuh

Maybe i was wrong. And , maybe i was right.

Meanwhile, I am at the point in my life, where my advance for legit work that doesnt require me reporting to any office is in the millions. So don't expect me to be intimidated by such amounts like you.

Bross I stand up challenge you no Initial capital dey Nigeria through honest work period.
But if you travel go like UK/US, you can raise Initial funds fast to start business back in Nigeria in less than 2 years, paper or no paper.
Guy, not everybody is borne in the same circumstance as you are, so dont assume..

Also, what do you mean by initial capital?. It is not about how much but how faithful and prudent you are to grow it.

I know a Woman who has sponsored children up to univerisy abroad with only plantain. beginning from humble retailer and roaster of plantain to a.major supplier.

Personally i would need to earn up to at least 20 x more, to live the quality of life over there that I am.living here. And i dont do.any illegal business.

A lot of you are just lazy and want fast money. But you will learn that there is no fast money anywhere.

He is only telling you that it is not all Rosey. I won't tell you not to travel though. It's good to go and make the money.
You people always speak like there is no money to be made in your home country. And that money can only be made abroad.

Part of the thinking is the exchange rate, but they dont factor in the high taxes and the fact that they wont be spending naira for their bills over there.

The biggest problem i see is that many people lack a sense of purpose and identity. So they are quick to go, wherever the crowds go and wherever the wind blows. A lack of purpose and warped money and survival driven mindsets.

Are you guys regretting your traveling to UK.....?
Travel with a Plan. Travel with sense. Travel with your eyes open, and not with a rose colored lense. If possible, travel while maintaining a source of income in your home country.

People like me prefer to travel and return. Travel with a goal, acheieve it in a few months or not more than a year, and return home. For.me, there is no place like home.
Family › Re: My Pregnant Wife Disappeared In The Middle Of The Night After A Misunderstanding by TheGift: 5:56pm On May 21
Ehinjuola:
Please, I need sincere advice because my mind is not at rest anymore. What started as a normal family visit has suddenly turned into something I never imagined in my life.
My wife and I went to her family house to discuss our forthcoming engagement and other marriage arrangements since she is already pregnant. The discussion took longer than expected, and before we knew it, it was already late in the evening. To make matters worse, rain started falling heavily, and getting transportation back home became very difficult.

I was outside in the rain, moving around and searching for a vehicle that could convey us and my uncle, who accompanied me, back home safely. Throughout that stressful moment, my wife didn’t even seem concerned. She stayed where she was without making any effort to assist or even show worry about the situation. Surprisingly, her mother later came out to meet me at the roadside, praying and hoping we would find a vehicle soon. Even her father’s younger brother joined me in searching for transportation.

After almost one hour, we finally got a cab. While we were inside the vehicle, my wife tried to start a conversation, but I was already upset and disappointed, so I kept quiet. After dropping my uncle close to his destination, we continued our journey home in silence.

At some point on the road, I finally spoke out in anger. I asked her why she behaved so unconcerned despite the fact that we came to her family house for something very important concerning our future together. Instead of calming things down, she became angry too and started saying hurtful words back at me.

As we were walking home, she suddenly said she wanted to ease herself by the roadside. Because I was still angry, I continued walking slowly ahead without paying much attention. After a few minutes, I looked back and realized she was no longer behind me.
I immediately returned to the exact spot where she said she wanted to ease herself, but I couldn’t find her anywhere.
Since that night, my wife has been missing for 4 days.

I have contacted her mother several times, but she told me not to report the matter to her father yet. According to her, she believes her daughter is safe and will eventually return home. But honestly, I’m becoming very suspicious and confused. Part of me feels she may know where my wife is hiding, but I can’t say for sure.

What keeps disturbing me the most is this: Where did my pregnant wife sleep that night? Who is she with? Is she safe? And why would she disappear without contacting anyone for 4 days?

Right now, I’m emotionally exhausted and scared. I truly love my wife despite our misunderstanding, and I never imagined something like this would happen over an argument.

Please, experienced married men and women on this forum, what should I do at this point? Should I involve her father and report this officially, or should I still keep waiting and hope she comes back on her own?
Hmmmm...

O

It isn't about living long, but the quality of the life you live.

Now if you think a drug addict has a better quality of life than someone who isn't, you must be high
They said smoke weed, not drug addict.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk is hooked on Ketamine, which like many other drugs and addictions, is way worse. Marijuana has many medical uses and shouldnt be grouped with other drugs in these kind of discussions.

Do some.more research before you judge

She strongly denied being unfaithful or earning labels like “ashawo.” Instead, she pointed fingers at Frank, claiming years of cheating, emotional pain, physical abuse, and money problems in their marriage. She wrote

Family › Re: What My Wife Did, Is This Wrong Or Its Nothing. by TheGift: 9:58pm On May 19
menaxe:
Something happened in my house this evening that’s been bothering me, and I’d like your honest advice.

My wife went out for a girls hangout. When she came back, she didn’t notice I was in the parking lot watching.

She called the gateman over, brought out her leg, and told him to remove her shoe. He took off the first canvas shoe, then the second. She didn’t notice I was there.

After he removed the shoes, she told him to take them to the cobbler for repair.

I just watched and didn’t say anything at the time. It looked to me like she was overusing the gateman, and it didn’t sit right with me.

Later, I called her aside and told her what she did was wrong but she said she didn’t know it was wrong and didn’t see the issue. I asked her what she meant by “it’s not wrong,” and she just repeated that she didn’t know.

Now I’m confused. I don’t know if I’m overreacting, overstepping, or making too much of it.

Nairalanders, please tell me honestly — is this wrong, or am I out of line here?

Thank you.
Is taking off her shoes, part of the gate Man's job description?

One thing about addictions and obsessions is that very often, not even a death sentence can stop those who are so desirous of indulging. Cancer patients have been known to sneak prohibited cigarettes and drinks even into hospitals.
Where did you people see addiction in this whole story? You will just be speculating, then having unnecessary arguments based on speculations. Na wa.

10days ago I sack planted 40 sacks of yam seedling on top a sewage pit....the job was very tedious and actually I fell under the weather.

Only for this my rose the nosy neighbor to corner me and asked me to take them of that the weight of the sands are going to sink the sewage pit.

I rejected her verdict.because it was recently plastered by me for this sole purpose.

She sad because she did same and hers collapsed .i told her that mine is entirely different.thanked her then walked away.

Interesting to chip in that...this same nosy neighbor has this penchant for finishing all my veggies for free.

I really want to know if the sewage is really going to collapse due to the fact that it's raining season.
She gave you logical advise. You rejected it. Now you are asking us, who have not seen the sewage pit or bags if the advise is valid.

How are you sure we are not nosy and lovers of vegetable like Her- since those seem to be the reasons, other than your ego, for refusing the advise?

Is it not better to be safe, than to risk being sorry?

The way modern technological advancement is being pioneered by China is amazing! They are really closing the ranks!
China? closing the ranks? They are taking the lead technologically, in many areas:

China leads in many AI‑related technologies, including AI algorithms, AI‑accelerator hardware, and applied AI in surveillance, logistics, and manufacturing.

China has always been a leader in 5G infrastructure and is highly active in early‑stage 6G research and standard‑setting.

China is at the forefront of applied quantum communications and quantum‑sensor research, having launched the world’s first quantum‑communications satellite and built large‑scale fiber‑based quantum‑key‑distribution networks.

China leads in small‑satellite technology, satellite positioning and navigation, and certain space‑launch‑related research areas.

China is the world’s largest producer of electricity and dominates in solar photovoltaics, battery manufacturing, and electric‑vehicle production.

China is ahead in several defense‑relevant technologies, including drones, swarming and collaborative robots, advanced radar, and autonomous underwater vehicles.

Biotechnology and health‑related tech
China is advancing fast in genomics, synthetic biology, and vaccine development, with some assessments now placing it in the lead in several of these domains.

Even in nano and advanced materials that contribute to all of the above, China is leading.

P.S. War is not only about dropping bombs, especially when you are dropping bombs on an enemy that is more willing to die for their cause than you are. Americans are feeling the negative impact of the war at home, on gas prices and cuts to funding of health care and education only to fund war. However it ends. America is in a weaker and worse place, where even their allies dont support them. Even if you dont like it, you just have to deal with it.

If your nation is not a disgraced one, tell me what is working in your country? A country without power supply, no security of lives and property, no basic infrastructure, the society is largely dysfunctional, the people are mostly corrupt.
If you claim my statement is fallacious, it is not going to be by just the adjective, you need to point out the fallacies. You obviously lack sense of objectivity but would rather go by the easy bailout of generalized labelling of the country.
In a country where the predominant trait is negative, will the few exceptional people be singled out for recognition (of which you are not a part of obviously)?
So even if all that you say is true, which it is not all over the country, does that make everyone in the country a disgraced person? Even the ones that are trying to make a difference? Is every American a disgraced person because Trump is disgracing Himself on the world stage.

I agreed with most of what you initially said, but I beg to differ on that part and i will never accept that definition for me and my family. Thank you.
