America is a scene of the good,the bad and ugly but unfortunately you don't have the option of chosing how/when any of them comes knocking at your door.

Mentally stable people no plenty for America.

Nigeria is a crime scene. Who ever said there is nothing new under the Sun sure don't know about Nigeria.

There is always something specially new under the Sun and moon in Nigeria. Even Covid didn't survive in Nigeria.

Got a terrible shock wave when I read his comment. Cocoa to cocaine 😂

DoctorAyukebot:
To think you had a like for that.. 😂 Cocaine is produced from the Coca plant Erythroxylum coca and not the Cocoa plant Theobroma cacao from which chocolate is made

Leave this country at the slightest opportunity. Nigeria is a crime scene

Surprised right? That is one of the many abnormalities of doing business in a country like Nigeria.

Opening a boutique in a location where second hand clothes are more cherished and spending power is low due to economy won't thrive.


The boutique and Akara/roasted plantain seller can make 100k each a day and after they all minus cost of running the business from the 100k, who do think would make more profits?
The boutique owner pays huge rent, runs generator (fuel), electric bill, pays staffs and may be paying back loan borrowed to set up the business.

Don't look down on those road side sellers that spend much to run their businesses, their take home pay in a month will shock you.

How will akara and plantain sellers make more money than big boutique owners?

You're wrong about Kenyan women o, you've got to be wary of them bro.

Some are desperate and not loyal but if you get their trust they can go the extra miles for you.
If you play them, they will play you

Emdi1914:
What is culture shock compared to Love? The equation is like 90/10 in favour of love

Mot just love, peace of mind. Zimb, Kenya and Uganda women can easily make you feel like you just won a jackpot on a very bad day.

Let his environment make the decision. Nigeria is a crime scene so there are different factors from government to citizens that can blow the business away.....

A friend of mine opened a phone and accessories business worth over 7 million but lost it all to thieves just after 3 weeks.

So every area will teach you what and how to set up a business in Nigeria.
Some akara sellers and roasted plantain sellers make more money than big expensive boutique owners in same area.

Nigeria is a crime scene.

Look at the results of an unsuccessful Ruga. Now, take your time and imagine how Nigeria would be like now if Buharis land grabbing Ruga was successfully implemented....

Buhari came to kill our country/unity and Muslim/Muslim admistration is handling the funerals.

If you have lived abroad for a long time and decide to visit Nigeria your phone battery must get to like 5/10% before you think about charging it and boom, there's no power especially when you're out of your home/hotel.

Life in Nigeria is so difficult without basic amenities.
Power banks and generator's are meant for camping and areas with out power like construction sites and stuffs like that.

Nigeria is like a crime scene

Lead by example and see if you will succeed. What about politicians camp you chase like ants chasing sugar and how many sick people's camp have you visited and healed or made their life better with evidence?

God of men everywhere you go.

Post a topic, reply same topic and quote same topic to cowed first page.
Same method

Solar/green energy can handle power and Starlink/Airtel can take care of Internet in any part of Nigeria so tell me another excuse.

We are not going to analog again when the world is going digital, if banks can be reformed digitally in an internet fraudulent country like Nigeria without people losing money when making transfers then real time transmission is child's play

10 years ago narrative in 2026? Are you listening to yourself or just being mischievous.

It is called technology so no be juju or rocket science.

immaculatesense:
I thought NYSC should have exposed some of you beyond your states and local government na.
Oh sorry, not all of your graduated from school or had opportunity to serve.
I served in Ebonyi state in Ezza North to be precise just a little less than 10 years ago and I can say authoritatively that there was no single bank in the whole of Ezza North at the time. We had to go to Abaliki before we could make withdrawals. I knew how many kilometers we had to trek just to make a call, we couldn't even receive calls because there were no network. How will REAL TIME transmission of results work in those areas? Or election should not hold in those areas abi?
So, if them ask you no, you go answer say banks dey all local government in Nigeria abi? Dey there.

No Be Juju Be Dat?

Marriage, life, people, everything!

Look at the brighter side of life because bad energy leads to depression.

We are born to die so do what's good for your mental health and remember, there is no better time and place to create your peace than now and where you are.

You desire Ruga or Open grazing on whose property?

Buy your hectres of land and fence it, any state of your choice is fine with me as long as you don't make anybody's farm or property you walkway.

I see Ranching as a more economical, small scale kind of way to attract new investors compared to buying hectres of land.

Milk and beef business would also improve and be well organized.

oalandAgents2:
How is RUGA different from ranching?
Open grazing is more healthy because the cattle eat fresh live organic grass whilst getting plenty exercise year around. If ranching is adopted the cattle would get much less exercise would be more prone to catching diseases and infections so would be pumped full of antibiotics. As well as getting feed grown elsewhere during dry season.
The current open-grazing system is healthier and more cost-effective abeg!

People advocated for Ranching and opposed so called Ruga.

You just called it ancient and right now, it's not sustainable.
Farmers and herders clashes, bandits and other clear disadvantages are enough to shove this way of life away.
It's an obsolete, outdated and do your research, it's not a healthy way of producing quality beef.

Cow milk production is more profitable and much more better with Ranching.

oalandAgents2:
Herdsmen men have been roaming all over Africa with their cattle since ancient times. Open grazing remains the most healthy and cost effective way to raise cattle and produce quality beef.
When ex president Buhari suggest re-establishing ancient cattle grazing routes it was opposed, yet the idea of ranches was equally opposed.
So in the absence of a government solution then the status quo remains and every body should just be calming down.

Stop being sarcastic and lame at the same time. Tell me how the so called luxury busses and warehouses cause environmental disastere and eyesores to the community/country.

Who will pack the poo from the cows and also maintain traffic while they take their majestic walk.

Tell them to build a ranch and nobody would give a damn even if they employ the security services of the CIA, MOSAD and KJB equiped with surface to Air missiles.

oalandAgents2:
A herdsman herding cattle with a machine gun strapped to his body is simple business practice.

Are owners of luxury buses not hiring armed guards with AK47 to be on every bus?

Are soft drink company lorries and their storage warehouses not guarded by private security operatives with rifles?

So why some of you expecting herdsmen not to guard livestock worth tens of millions if not hundreds of millions Naira with machine guns?🤔

He would've been arrested in other parts of Nigeria our country, especially the southern states by mostly northern native police/Army personnel's.

Sirmwill:
All I see here is how backward thinking uneducated people can be

These Herders don't know that the world has developed past them

In a sane country, he would be stopped by police and arrested for illegal possession of arms

Place a ban on it if it isn't good enough to be in our schools. The Government have the power to also make sure such books are not approved, to avoid issues like this in future.

Paddy Paddy government. Demonstration of craze is what is practiced in Nigeria not Democracy.

If only they showed the amount in photos and videos to clearly understand the news.

Corruption is like a cancer in Nigeria, 213 Billion looting, the richest scammers are in Government not the Internet.

yemmit90:
Destiny defer, Lamborghini is nothing compare to what he earned annually, and you don't know why or how those guys you mentioned lost their wealth. Aside that, they play in different generations where payment and opportunities defer. Besides, you don't tell people how to spend or manage their wealth, it is poor or primitive way of reasoning.

As for your last paragraph, well, except you are above 40, you might be in primary school or in your mother's womb when I made my first million around 2007 in the days of intercontinental Bank and Skye Bank.

Apt reply. Kudos to you.

nnol:
My thought as well.

Egyptians are used to having foreigners around as a massive tourist destination that's why they have a more relaxed mentality but still get so emotional crazy to the point that an Al haly supporter may refuse to sell stuffs to you because you're wearing a Zamalek fc jersey.
Their (Arabs) passion for football is something else.

Abeg o, clean your mouth before this talk dry there.

occfx:
Nigeria against Senegal final or Morocco against Senegal. Because Nigerians fit go carry ashawo now begin celebrate Algeria win. Morroco go come beat them nonsense

Naija players took it personal, all Arab countries including bandits are now going to be united against Nigeria in our next game...

Reminds me of how Bank security/Door men behave after branch manager complains about crowd in the banking hall.

Power mode activated sharp sharp,instant nsultis and ordering people in military commando style as if the people going to bank are beggars

Proudlyngwa:
If you are a wordsmith you can add the second alphabet and tenth alphabet where you deem fit.

It's very rampant there.

Got it. L..g...s is a also hot spot for them too especially the young girls now.
Like they make out in public bars and walk hands locked, acting all romantic.
They use content creating rehearsal as fake excuse when attacked.

Proudlyngwa:
Why I am against federal Government tax rubbish.

I believe tax is an obligation for everyone irrespective of your social status, returns or relief, it is everybody's responsibility to contribute to nation building, security, primary education and future substanability.

I don't see why I should contribute from my sweat and some people wii be exempt because it is believed they are not making up to a certain amount, we all make use of the same roads, infrastructure and security architecture, so why should they not input their own quota to development and hold the administrators accountable.

Next , what sort of bullshit is progressive taxing, tax is meant to be a percentage of your income to the government, what rubbish is progressive taxing

Then nobody has talked about the never ending issue of multiple taxing.

Why should I go to a super market by an item, and pay vat on it, the workers who made that produtucts where taxed, the mart is meant to be taxed on its profit.
Why the helllll am I supposed to pay 7.5% on something I want to consume when other people who worked for it have been taxed and those who sold it have been taxed on their profit.

We have levies, we have rates, we have tax, vat, w.hold tax, bribe, thank you and even thank you for coming.

Tax should be by locality and speciality.

Federal government can have a unified platform for collection but we are supposed to know what percentage of a person's tax goes to the unit, ward, local government, state government and then federal government.

I cannot be in porthacourt with its quarter to madness attitude and be sponsoring mass wedding in zamfara, homosexuality in ..A ..U...A and 5 million dollar school fees in sokotozerland.


This madness needs to be readdressed

Nice write up and I agree, been saying it for ages and it's already happening.
We as shoppers are helping the shopping malls/Supermarkets pay large part of their taxes.
What is homosexuality in ..A ..U...A? Where is ..A ..U...A?

Onewazobia:
You are absolutely right, we all have one or two things to learn

We learn to live and also live to learn.

Guess they we're compensated with resignation but a yahoo boy will hold Efcc placard for allegedly scamming 500 dollars before going to court.
