Politics / Re: Jonathan: Uncertainty After Retirement Is Fuelling Corruption In Civil Service by Toeyoursea(m): 6:23am On Dec 08, 2022
Very true!
Absolute integrity is a big ask from a person who put 35 years (or more) of their life into serving an employer (government in this case) without being able to run a proper business while at it, only to end up with peanut as gratuities and pension.

We're breeding a system that inspires corrupt practices.

I've been in situations where I exhaust every logical effort for a solution, yet I find no headway. But in every of such occasion, Allah has come through for me even though I've been a terrible servant lately.

See, if there is anything the LAGOS APC folks are good at it's branding and PR.

I don't know if these guys are smarter than we give them credit for or Nigerians are gullible. But, their game works well.

I don't want to start giving instances but they're many cases of ingenuity from these guys.

Look at Sanwo Olu and Osinbajo these days. cheesy

It almost seemed as though the reason why Tunde Fashola was removed from power was because they wanted an Aboki to oversea the Siemens deal and the ill-informed bickering about one person heading more than one critical sector.

In four years anyone who has brain in their head could have seen the strides and improvement.

As for Audu Ogbeh, I know he wanted to go home and rest but they are better options the President could have gone with.

There are threads for keeping spaces and commenting nonsense, this isn't one of them.

These are serious issues affecting our society and people need intelligent inputs in threads like this to know how to handle it if they or someone they know experience it.

Someone might need this thread 5 years later, please let's use this forum responsibly, na all of us get am.

====================================

Back to the matter, I will advice you speak to a professional social worker. Anyone who abuses another person has abused their trust and the victim needs to be the priority.

Politics / Re: Ikpeazu: We'll Equip Enyimba Economic City With Uninterrupted Power Supply by Toeyoursea(m): 5:58am On Aug 05, 2021
We're not ready for that conversation, but the Nigerian 'public' always pick and choose which politicians they demand perfection from.

Peter Obi is hardly fingered for the SARS killings under his watch as the governor, but Sanwo Olu is constantly being hounded for sending the military on October 20th.

Benue governor doesn't even remember how to commission a project, but as long as he's speaking against someone ya'll don't like, it's fine.

Some governors will comfortably owe civil servants 1 year salary, no sh*T, but Change the name to Aregbe and the tone is stronger.

The name Tinubu mentioned in any news, na so so headache for some people. I have been seeing comments predicting doomsday for Tinubu since 2003, and it's almost 2023, still no shaking.

Conversations about Fashola tarring the most KM of road by Any minister since 1960 is low-key, even his delivery of the second Niger bridge to over 60% completion isn't lauded.

Don't even let me start on how it's okay for someone to be the running mate on "Mr Halliburton's" Ticket but another can't have peace working with "Mr Integrity"

Yeye de smell!

Freelancing has been a live saver form many of us.

Speak2klein:
I have a friend who freelancers and rakes in over $100,000 per annum and he is based her in Nigeria. He just got married and they are doing very well.

To do these numbers I feel like you have to be exceptionally skilled in a particular computer craft. It's one reason why I agree with you that writing can be a very good starting point for anyone. Getting writing gigs on most of these freelancing platforms is extremely competitive. The fact that you don't have to advertise to get jobs on www.scribesbay.com is cool though.

AmKen:


You cant be a successful freelancer without skills.


People are actually hiring you to do professional work for them.

It's not for lazy people.

I stay awake most nights working.

I totally agree with you. It hard work all the way. In some 9:00 to 5:00 jobs, you can hide behind a team or be lucky to get a stress free job. Freelancing is delivery oriented. No space for lazy folks.

To all those that I couldn't respond to their questions, I am very sorry. Truth is that, I was very busy then. I am free now. Whoever has a genuine question that hasn't already been answered on the tread should bring it on. NB: mention me. I don't really have much experience here but will ask people around should your question goes beyond my little experience. Abidjan is expensive


roughdiamond

I am currently not sure of the date I intend to leave. But I want to ask some questions in advance, largely bothering around housing and cost of living.


****Cash Handling

Where will I change cash from naira to XOF?
How much is safe for me to carry in cash?
Can I use my ATM card in any bank along the border and in Abidjan?


Housing and hotel

How much should I budget for a low cost hotel?
I intend to rent a furnished one-room apartment. How much should I budget?
Is it possible to get someone to host me (Flat share) or squatting pending the time I get a bigger apartment?


Jobs

I have a Freelance business that pays me about $100 (N30,000) weekly. I hope this income will be good enough to survive?


My entire travel budget is N150,000 and N50,000 is for transport, that's N200,000 in total. This leaves me with N150,000 naira to settle down. With this 150k (Initial cash) and my weekly 30k, is it advisable to embark on this adventure?

P.s, I am a writer and I need a very calm environment to work from

first off I want to say a very big thank You to the likes of Ugosample, JWtheocracy1, Popizaino et al who have contributed to the survival of this thread.


I will be making a bold decision which is finally relocating to Abidjan after much thought (don't mind me actually I think I've had enough with 9ja). I've been following discussions on here very keenly.

With much information at my disposal(thanks to those guyz aforementioned) I believe I might not have much challenge save d language ish which I'm very much working on.


Lucky for me have got peepz who have been resident in Abidjan for some time now (around Trechville to be precise)



I just might be sharing my own first hand experiences in a couple of weeks from now.

#merci!

Hello Please are still moving over or you've changed your mind? I need someone to plan my journey with
Travel / Re: Any Nairalander In Abidjan? by Toeyoursea(m): 2:23pm On Sep 22, 2018
You'd have to call them to confirm all these. Their number is 08077586461. They are situated in Ejigbo Osun state. popizaino can shed more light.
Travel / Re: Any Nairalander In Abidjan? by Toeyoursea(m): 1:58pm On Sep 22, 2018
popizaino:


It's seems it as become imperative of me to talk since you mentioned orelope transport even though I didn't want to chuk mouth earlier when you were asking if there is other alternative transport aside ejigbo. Well your best bet would have been to just enter cotonu and take UTB to abidjan direct.but since you still consider orelope transport I can give you the first hand info.orelope leaves on Sundays to and fro from abidjan and Wednesday. Sundays bus fee is 20k naira or 30kcfa depending on the currency you which to pay with.The duration of Sunday buses is 3days that means they arrive on Tuesday and they usually carry goods along while that of Wednesday which is 27k naira or 40kcfa usually don't carry goods along and they arrive the following day which is Thursday.Sunday buses are not ac fitted while that of Wednesday is ac fitted.

Someone finally answered me. Thank you sir cool

I have actually settled with Orelope. I'm coming from Lagos and it will be on a Tuesday. My problem here is shelter.

1. Where I'm going to sleep in Ejigbo on Tuesday night
2. Where I'm going to sleep in Abidjan when I get there (hotel or host)
3. How I'm going to get an apartment.

I'm travelling with about 200,000 CFA and I don't know any soul in Abidjan.

A big shoutout to all those who have contributed immensely to the growth of this thread. I have read through almost the whole 32 pages. I haven't seen anyone mislead or scam another person on this thread, it all been brotherhood and love. Even 2 page thread for Nairaland, them go still scam you.

I was looking to relocate to Osun state when I stumbled upon this thread. I have changed my mind; I think Abidjan will be ideal for me.

I have a few questions, some of which may have been directly or indirectly asked before. I just want to get current and specific answers on them.

1. Transportation

I was at Young Shall Grow ECOWAS park, Maza-Maza on Friday 15-09-2018 and below were the prices:
-N30,500 with passport
-N35,500 with virgin Passport
-N37,000 with ID card (voter's or national ID)
-N45,000 without ID
I was advised to have an extra N5,000 for Yellow card and other cross border stuffs.

My question is, are there any better alternatives (apart from Ejigbo)?

2. Cash Handling

Where will I change cash from naira to XOF?
How much is safe for me to carry in cash?
Can I use my ATM card in any bank along the border?


3. Housing and hotel

How much should I budget for a low cost hotel?
I intend to rent a furnished one-room apartment. How much should I budget?
Is it possible to get someone to host me (Flat share) or squatting pending the time I get a bigger apartment?

Please advise me.

So I called Orelope transport yesterday and they said it will cost me 20k, excluding yellow fever and other road expenses.

Senior men in the house, I'm still awaiting your input.

Islam for Muslims / Re: Muslims Praying In Bayelsa Shut Down A Major Road, Cars Blocked (Photos) by Toeyoursea(m): 10:50am On Mar 05, 2018
15 mins and you confirmed your mom horned repeatedly. The whole of my street in Ijesha, Surulere, Lagos is specially cleared every Sunday by the landlord association (Comprising of Muslims and Christians) to allow room for members of Lords Chosen ministry park their cars after the must have exhausted Osodi Apapa express way for parking. Especially on the first Sunday of every months. The same gesture is returned during Muslim festivals. Blocking the road for any selfish reason is wrong. But, Hotels block roads, parties block roads, carnivals block roads, street football block roads, religious organizations block roads, some people need to calm down on their intolerance, hate and phobia for Muslims.

The people who physically abused your mom are wrong in all ramifications and must be condemned too.

I am sure that's not the only route to where your mom is going, but let's all be stupid and intolerant.
