Fear fear people ...she is so afraid to even mention the name of the person ...

What sort of cowardice is this in these folks ?

A ronu will always be a ronu ...they will backstab, deny and betray .....

Funnily, the Ga tribe of Ghana are Migrated Yorubas during the 14th centuries ago....they are Yorubas that migrated from Ile Ife....Ibos and Yorubas.... 😂 No matter where Ibo runs to, they are always inside that small dots rigmarolling in front of the Yorubas...... 😂

Yet the Yoruba in the 1970s chased them away with their GHANA MUST GO MENTALITY...Here in Lagos ...

So much for Yoruba brotherhood

Plastic expensive cars ....that's what it is ...no safety

That's islam for you.... That's where we are ! It's unfortunate

That guy lied to you. He can never be imprisoned for something that happened 15yrs ago, as long as it’s not murder. He certainly beat the wife and was arrested. A lot of these guys are too ashamed to tell the truth of what they did. This guy here is also probably lying. It’s better for him to be told to leave than to be arrested for what he probably did. Many Nigerian men respond to conflict with their fist. We all know this.

You guys argue a lot...what happened to P Diddy, R Kelly

Their offences were years ago

Japa...the greatest mistake married folks make

Honestly, I think a lot of Americans live paycheck to paycheck because the system just isn’t built to help the average person get ahead anymore. Even if you're earning what used to be considered a "good income," it often barely covers the basics — rent or mortgage, food, bills, car payments, and maybe childcare or student loans. Once all that is paid, there’s little or nothing left.

One of the biggest issues, in my opinion, is that the cost of living keeps rising while wages stay almost the same. You go to the grocery store and spend \$150 on what feels like two bags of food, yet pay hasn’t moved much in years for many people. Add to that healthcare costs, which can wipe you out overnight if you don’t have strong insurance, and it's no wonder so many people are just trying to survive one paycheck at a time.

Debt plays a huge role too. Most Americans rely on credit cards, buy-now-pay-later services, and car loans just to stay afloat. But it’s a trap — the interest adds up quickly, and you’re always playing catch-up.

And I also believe part of it is cultural. In the U.S., there’s this constant pressure to "keep up" — nicer cars, better clothes, bigger homes — even if your income can’t really support it. Social media makes it worse, because you’re constantly seeing the highlight reels of other people’s lives.

At the end of the day, it’s not just about bad money habits. It's about a system that rewards wealth but punishes working people. Most folks aren’t careless — they’re just doing what they can to survive in an economy that no longer favors the middle or lower class. That's my take.

If it were only as straight forward as it appears to you. Life happens and before you know it you're caught up in the same wheel that caught others - the same thing you swore will never happen to you!

Between roughly half to nearly three‑quarters of Americans (depending on method/income) are living paycheck to paycheck.

While 53–57% self-report this status, spending data suggests about 26–30% have little to no buffer.

This phenomenon spans income levels—even high earners can be paycheck‑to‑paycheck due to expenses.

Younger generations and lower incomes are most affected.

How many people earn 300k in Nigeria? How much are you earning?

you would be asking how many people use iPhone XR that's the amount a used iPhone XR is !

You think 300k is a big deal

As of the most recent data available (up to 2024), poverty in the UK remains a significant social issue, particularly affecting minority ethnic groups — with Black communities disproportionately impacted.

🔍 Key Facts on Poverty in the UK (General):


Overall poverty rate: About 20–22% of the UK population is considered to be living in poverty.


Child poverty: Around 29% of children in the UK live in poverty.


Working poverty: A growing number of people in poverty are actually employed — known as the “working poor.”

📊 Poverty Among Black Communities in the UK:

According to data from organizations like the Social Metrics Commission, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, and UK government statistics:

1. Higher Poverty Rates for Black Households


Black African and Black Caribbean households experience poverty rates of around 40–45%, far higher than the national average.


For comparison:


White British households: ~19%


Pakistani households: ~49%


Bangladeshi households: ~53%


Black African households: ~44%


Black Caribbean households: ~39%

2. Key Factors Behind This Disparity


Discrimination in the labour market: Black workers often earn less and are underrepresented in senior roles.


Higher unemployment rates: Black people are about twice as likely to be unemployed as White people.


Housing inequalities: More likely to live in overcrowded or poor-quality housing.


Lower accumulated wealth: Generational wealth is lower among Black British families.


Single-parent households: A larger proportion of Black households are single-parent, which statistically face higher poverty risks.

3. Impact of Recent Crises


COVID-19 and the cost-of-living crisis hit Black communities harder due to:


Overrepresentation in frontline/essential jobs.


Limited access to safety nets like savings or home ownership.

🔄 What Is Being Done?


Community initiatives: Grassroots organizations and local councils offer targeted support.


Government support: Universal Credit, child benefits, and housing support — though many say these are not sufficient.


Calls for reform: Anti-racism groups and think tanks urge systemic changes in employment, education, and housing policies.

🧠 Insight

The intersection of race and poverty in the UK is not merely economic — it's also structural and historic. Despite progress in education and awareness, Black Britons still face uphill battles in equality of opportunity and outcomes.

Watcharena:

I am not talking about salary earners.... You mustn't earn salary you can creat jobs and earn well....

The world and riches are for entrepreneurs not for salary earners ....


You can't get rich abroad ! Take this from me

Peakdesign23:
1. Most opportunities won't come twice.
2. Nobody really cares about you.
3. Don't try to please anyone but God.
4. As a lady, if your blood group is anything O, like O+, O- do not hesitate to get married early because child bearing might be difficult in your late 20's and thirties. unless you don't really care about kids. Avoid abortion at all cost while you're young!
5. Avoid anything friends!
6. Just because someone is smiling with you doesn't mean that they love you, perhaps if you see what's in their heart, you'll forever avoid them.
7. Don't just assume that connection will come to you. Go out! Meet new people, anything good can come out of it.
8. Don't ever take your security for granted, wherever you live, make sure it's well secured, don't keep your pots of cooked rice or whatever close to your kitchen windows. Even the neighbours aren't to be trusted sometimes.
9. Whenever you call any electrician or anyone to come and fix something in your house, do not be so quick to leave, stay there with them and monitor every thing. Don't give them food, let them work and leave.
10. Never tell people your sources of income or what you earn, not even family members.


Let me stop here for now.
