Ok boss
1 Peckham (as you rightly said )

2. Tottenham (Haringey Borough and the North London axis , lots of Nigerians and Africans especially Ghanians )

3 Thamesmead (South East London) due to universities around the area

4 Barking & Dagenham (East London) Yoruba dominated

5 Woolwich (Greenwich Borough, South East London) has the highest number of Nigerian store, church and market

6 Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland and some part of Aberdeen . Those 3 have Nigerian presence ( Scotland)

1-5 are specific district .. No 6 is a city council due to the fact that they are mostly dispersed around the city.
How relevant are Nigerians to a migrant seeking to earn a living? I mean, of what use are they? The interest ought to be labour, cheaper housing, employment opportunities of an area, tax regime, how migrant friendly an environment is, etc, etc. Why even bother asking about where a group of people enclaved, people that are not particularly trustworthy? Just curious as to the usefulness of his question.

your first paragraph has to be the funniest thing, I asked you if you understood my points which you claimed are wrong cox its surprising as you claimed its wrong as that has been people's opinions about CNG, did you even read my last paragraph where I said personally, I won't convert to CNG due to personal reservations.

since you're an experienced user of CNG, you could have just outlined your counter reason why everything I said is wrong as I only outlined my own reasons due to informations from users and installers I read both on here and off here.


did you say object of ridicule? abeg, where did that one come from, anyway who cares?


back to everything you said, you claimed mechanics are scared to touch your car due to the CNG kit, I don't know how truthful this is, but I've seen someone brought CNG powered vehicle to my mechanic and he wasn't afraid or reluctant to fix the vehicle for the owner.

you claimed parts aren't available but I wasn't talking about the kits parts, I'm talking about the car parts in general which you already familiar with.

additionally, everything I said about CNG has been everyone's submissions about CNG, even Gazzuzz(RIP) also said similar things about CNG, I'm surprised you have a different experience...
There's no point arguing over this. A first hand user with a first hand experience has spoken, it could be one in as many not too pleasant experiences.

Personally, I've never really liked the idea of CNG conversion, it seem very crude and way out of car manufacturers purview.

The Nigerian women mostly, marry the self acclaimed "woke and educated" ones and end up living a life of regret. A doctor that was living his American dream, his life was totally destroyed and brought down to the grave.

the problem to me in all this is still drivers they go on indrive to be accepting ridiculous prices during the December period when no one was accepting ridiculous prices passengers were forced to increase it so na drivers be the problem and this is the main issue with this hustle too the calibre of people you are doing the job with no class no levels no self esteem just riff raft that ain't got no dreams
You are very correct. What will make a driver pick a trip of 1k or 2k on Indrive if not madness with present rate of inflation and fuel cost? I wonder what such a person stand to gain. Is that fare for labour or fuel? I'm not sure any self respecting human being will even do that but this is normal on Indrive. What sort of hunger pushes them to that level? Seriously, a cart pusher in Lagos will not take such as payment to convey your goods, same distance using his wheelbarrow.

You're right but I will still ignore bolt and uber and stick to indrive while I choose a better trip. Since bolt thinks it's best for them to reduce price to have more riders, let me see how drivers will go online...


A 10k trip on indrive is better than a 12k trip on bolt.
Yeah, but the 10k trip on Indrive depending on distance is far and few. Most of their trips are time based and not about distance I have noticed. Would you take a trip.of 10k from Ikeja to Ajah just because it's 10k? This is what Indrive looks like on an average day.

I believe those who can afford it, should ignore Bolt n Uber for the time being pending when both apps are cured of their madness.

Bolt wants 25% commission n you set up stupid fares. Uber likewise charges up to 33% commission and you expect drivers to take your dirty fares.
Average price of petrol in lagos is 980/litre. That's roughly 1,000 naira per litre.
If you ignore Uber and Bolt and continue picking shitty fares on Indrive, what sense is there? The main culprit here is Indrive, they are the destructive element here. Uber and Bolt are simply trying to be at pair with them in other not to lose their market shares. The drivers too that don't have the mentality to ignore trips on Indrive are largely part of the problem.

But then again, looking at the unemployment rate and hunger out there, some of these drivers don't care. If it's 5k they take home a day after 10hrs of hard labour, most will not mind. App companies are using these to their own advantage. Take Indrive out of the equation and there might just be some respite. If there has to be any protest, it should have started from the root cause of the problem which is Indrive.

Dr. Jim Okolo Chimezie, along with other Nigerian delegation, including the General Superintendent of Deeperlife Bible Church, Pastor William Kumuyi, gospel minister Nathaniel Bassey and host of others to participate at the inauguration ceremony of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States.

Trump, who is coming for a second term in office was inaugurated on Monday, succeeding Joe Biden whose tenure of office has just ended.

The colourful event which attracted world leader had Dr. Okolo, a UN accredited observer represent the election monitoring community.

Amb. Dr. Okolo, who is also the MD/CEO Jimez Petroleum Resources Limited used the opportunity of Trump's inauguration to meet with top officials of the just inaugurated administration to foster possible collaboration between Nigeria and the United States.

He has consistently been an advocate of close diplomatic ties between both countries to enable Nigeria tap from the huge potentials of the US especially in the area of energy, technology transfer, industrialization and security.

He had also taken part in observing the November election in which Trump won then Vice-President Kamala Harris who was the candidate of the Democrat.

Before his departure from Abuja to Washington, Amb. Dr. Okolo had been decorated by Trump Train Africa, a youth initiative as its Global Ambassador.

Speaking after his inauguration, Dr. Okolo said credible election has a synergy with good governance, justice and peace.

He expressed expressed hope that with a shared vision of pragmatic approach to good governance between Nigeria and Trump, Nigeria and indeed Africa will benefit a lot from the second term of Trump.

He said no country can exist in isolation as both need each other for strategic partnership.
Does this look like Inauguration venue? These fools were outside, didn't even get close. Nigeria is a country of idiots. For this to even trend and make the news, shows the level of foolishness in this country

Those children have no say in whatever their parents did to get to the State. They don’t deserve to suffer for a crime they never committed.
The executive order takes effect from February. It's basically for the unborn children to be giving birth the proper way. A pregnant woman flying from Africa just to give birth in America is sheer madness. I mean what kind of opportunity are you looking for? These people are crazy though.

There's a difference iwhen people find themselves in US and had no choice than to give birth there due to circumstances if they are pregnant than setting out for the sole aim of giving birth iin America and steal citizenship of a place that you remotely have no business in, something is definitely wrong with that. One would expect all American States to fall in-line with Trump's perspective and get this done without much legal trouble.

Trump should have order all US embassy and national carriers not to give visa or allow pregnant women into USA instead of all this unconstitutional declaration that will attract series of criticisms and courts orders.
Some of these mad women that go there to give birth, get their visas long before they get pregnant. Trumps executive order to put an end to this madness is a very good one. I expect all Americans to support him on this. The process has been grossly abused and there's need to rewrite citizenship criterias.

If it's a HP deal then it's a good decision. Because on other HP deals, d driver is responsible for therepairs and maintenance, but on moove, the company is responsible
You have to make the repairs yourself on moove, else you will lose the deal after two weeks of default.

According to my findings, if anything goes wrong with the car, Moove will ask you to take the car to their repair center in Mushin. You may not be able to.get out the car in good time as they will keep the car in queue, sometimes beyond two weeks. That may potentially make you lose the deal and all that you've worked for. Their drivers find it convenient to do repairs themselves to avoid defaulting. This was also confirmed by one of their drivers I've had to ride with.

Stop jumping upandan like a peacock in heat. Show me how your screenshot translates to someone paying moove a total of 100k rent weekly as you claim undecided

I know you're stewpid but at least simple basic math shouldn't be a Herculean task for someone of your mental capacity . . .or is it? 🤔

See how GIANT the fonts on your tiny phone looks lol 😆
Your goat driver drives seven days of the week. He's obviously paying nothing less than N14,400 daily. Do the math yourself to see what he pays moove weekly. For everyday you drive on move, you pay N14400. Are you getting it? I don't know why I have to explain this to a grown man.

I made those fonts big so that you can read correctly, you seem to be blind, deaf and dumb, that's why it's easy to get you deceived on telegram.

Anyhoo, dropping paltry 'daily remittances' while being able to freely go to the lengths and breadths of Lagos not minding the road conditions, traffic or distances due to your 'tool' having the absolute lowest possible fuel consumption, free maintenance and also not bothering about any constant 'depreciation of ones personal assets' is something heavenly 🤗

But of course, a reason for the invention of condoms like yourself would struggle to grasp such ideas wink

Of course you will not have anything to explain because you don't know anything, you are that daft. You talk as if the moove cars come free, only talk about cost of maintainance.

I don't know why you brand those cars as "disposable". You pay about 15k daily and more than 100k weekly grin to them, 15million in three years. Between that and driving my own car, i know which I would go for. Fuel and maintainance can't be an excuse. Besides, the moove cars don't run on water.

These women, they come with nothing and exchange their nothingness with all you’ve laboured for years, take it an whisk away.

No wonder the Christian bible said,

“The devil can come in any form to tempt you and you can defeat it, but when she comes as a woman, FLEE !! (Run away without looking back)
Very true and correct. The women of nowadays have evolved to become monsters because our mothers weren't this diabolical. I've come to realise that marriage have become a retrogressive institution overtime, it doesn't seem to worth it. I pity men that still indulge in the paparazzi of wedding when you are not sure what you will get from the marriage. If na only garden egg and groundnut you see, carry give her parents as bride price, buy ice fish for guests. If the parents don't like it, they can keep their daughter. Waste money on a woman and watch her waste your life and all that you've laboured for.

She reported the man to get back at him, just to make him suffer after their marriage hit rock bottom. The Indian woman in question may not actually be the real reason for their marital issues but that's the only thing she could use to get back to the man and make him pay heavily. It appears the professor had the affair with the Indian woman long before he married the Nigerian woman but may have violated school rules in the process. He was in his fifties when he had an affair with the Indian, he's 64 now and married this Nigerian woman two years ago.

We all have to be careful the kind of women we let in, most importantly, a woman must never know your secrets, especially our Nigerian witches. She's going to use your secrets against you when the going gets tough.

Loopholes these days if any are harder to come by. These companies spend thousands of dollars doing research and hiring the best brains to plug loopholes.

Let's even assume you somehow find a loophole through arbitrage betting for instance, you can only do it for so long till your account is restricted or completely blocked.

Bet companies surf through every single account that bets through them. Once they see any consistent winnings, the account is gone.
Believe me, there's no industry that doesn't have loopholes no matter the artificial intelligence deployed, even banks. The thing about these sports betting sites is that they constantly change their mode of operation to beat these loopholes, but they haven't completely succeeded. They sometimes turn a blind eye to it in order to remain in business. The business comes with odds and those odds are riddled with inconsistencies. They can't afford not to keep presenting the odds, they will be out of business. It's for for a few who have dedicated time and effort to take advantage.

I do not agree with your post.

Think about it—how many people struggling to make ends meet have genuinely turned their lives around through sports betting? The truth is, it’s not a reliable path to success or generational wealth. More often than not, it leaves people financially broken, mentally exhausted, and trapped in a cycle of addiction.

The golden rule is simple: don’t gamble with money you can’t afford to lose, no matter how mentally strong you think you are. Betting might seem like a quick fix, but the long-term consequences can be devastating.
Yeah, you missed the point I was making by a mile there. I will never advise anyone to go into sports betting. However, there are proven tricks and loopholes in that industry that an ordinary man out there may never see, professional bettors take advantage of this proven tricks that the bookmakers do not have much control over. The risk is minimal unlike the amateur betting that vast majority indulge in. These tricks can guarantee steady income, depending on ones level of consistency.

There are those that bet for leisure too and the amateurs. What I'm saying is that these two categories of bettors are the ones that keep the industry going and provide cash outs for the real pros. I'm not here to tell anyone what is right or wrong but know that a few feed fat from it, they wouldn't if the amateurs are not present in the equation. In other words, understand the industry very well or don't even get involved at all if you can't stomach a loss. It's not for someone that is struggling. A struggling man may not even have the mental capacity to pay attention to details.

This is just analysis that is not for or against betting.

Well said.

We've had this argument extensively on the sports section chat thread and this was the same argument I made.

You have to treat betting like you're going to a music show or going to have a bottle of beer. Something you do with spare money for the fun and the adrenaline it gives. Winning should be a bonus and not the goal.

If you go into it because you think it's your ticket to generational wealth, you will be in for a rude shock and sorry will be your name.
Not entirely true. There are loopholes in this industry that the bookmakers are well aware of but can do nothing about, they only try to mitigate the extent to which pros take advantage of it. Such tricks are rarely shared. If amateurs like Thatniccur don't sign up, how do you think the pros that know what they are doing can get paid?

You are advised to bet responsibly and take control of your life. Don't indulge if you don't have the mental capacity to go through it. It's a dog eat dog world out there and people do what they can to survive, some make it, while some fall by the sidewalk.
