I expected this line of argument. The difference is the platform, the rules in place.

The same Nigerians that would be acting like wild animals at MMIA, are the same ones that would queue at Heathrow.

Uber uses mostly pricing to keep their system free of hoodlum-riders. I also heard they ban drivers, I don’t know if they ban riders too.

Even the OP said he registered on Bolt first because Uber’s registration is stressful. That should tell you a lot.

They also ban riders too, when I went to Abuja at the Airport, the Uber driver that picked me said he had to confirm my ratings before he accepted my request me, because he owns his personal car & I noticed the car was a very recent Corolla. According to him, he said he reports riders very well, and Uber actually makes a move or refund him if he has any payment issues with a rider. Uber actually flags that rider's account if they verify that the issue has been happening consistently with that rider, It means the rider is a confirmed troublesome person.

Bolt no send anybody, na agbero company.

The difference between Bolt and Yellow Bus is that one is a car & the other is a Bus. That's all. Same Behavior, same attitude.

Drivers can also use another person's account on Bolt, this particular one is very annoying because It may encourage kidnapping.

no b lie...they was a time madrid had more stars than this but it was only a goal by Henry in Santiago dt dump real dt year..
d stars couldn't score a goal in both legs....big names don't guarantee UCL my gee

Also, remember that England lost the final with all their big names. Italy with only few big names still beat them. Even with the same Jorginho that people say plays like a snail.

Same with Chelsea. They won with a tactical coach.

I don't consider Haverts, Werner, Ziyech, Mount and Pulisic as big names.

The only big names Chelsea had this year was Kante and Azpiliqueta. That's all.

SageX1444:
boss maybe announcing 24 hours prior would be perfect. Plus I'd suggest maybe 20:00-21:00 would be perfect so that most might have settled from their various daily activities.

I agree, I missed this meeting today because of timing. I think 20:00 is better because some people are still working during 18:00 especially those working remotely.

GboyegaD:
You don't do things for people and when you do, the responsibility remains yours and same as the consequences.

No one would ask me such not even my Mum and I don't ask anyone such. If you don't have the means, rather than cause yourself much pains, why not avoid it?

It's easier said than done, especially in some families. I am sure you are quite aware of what women go through in the hands on MILs. If you listen to BankyW's family interview, they did the same thing, they waited after marriage and when they finally decided to have babies, it wasn't forth coming.

Again, i would choose to rather remain single instead of the anxiety of waiting for children if they happen to come late when i *finally* decide to have babies.

GboyegaD:
I get your point and I don't have a problem with low income earners getting married however, seems it is almost a norm that people get married and starts having children instead of focusing first on breaking out of the cycle.

So why get married then if you cannot have children immediately?

People, families and friends will start reminding you of how many years you have been married without children, thinking your wife is barren or you have low sperm count.

This is Nigeria for you, and once you marry the womb watchers will not allow you rest.

Plead:
LordKO used to be a sane and mature individual,with lots of people on the family section and beyond always looking forward to his contributions.
How he lost it or strayed from that line is still a surprise to me.

I don't know how you people justify sanity on this forum.

pocohantas:
You get time to reply that or deh.

I just need to ask and make it simple, as Yes or No because there is a clear evidence here. We have a video, i don't why people want to wait until he starts penetrating a minor in the video and she starts screaming for help before they give up.

larryjonze:
If all that count were to be .... "Was he caught on Camera trying to have sex with a minor or not. YES or NO? why is the matter in court why not auto -jail sentence.
Rape cases are highly complicated, it is never a straight line as the public thinks, even the cctv record had no evidence of penetration. all these things av been analysis on tvc morayo show, no be by emotion o

I take this as a Yes.

All matters must go through a court to determine if they are guilty based on evidence. Nothing like auto-jail sentence.

larryjonze:
There is nothing i say that will revive you from ur emotional trance, therefore i will just leave you & ur kinds with iyabo ojo new post, seems her son took the phone thats beyond a woman, pocohantas cumma see the merit of having a male child

Leave all this English. The question is simple.

Was he caught on Camera trying to have sex with a minor or not. YES or NO?

No long stories or grammar.

pocohantas:
A yet to be identified person has opened a GoFundMe account to help with Baba Ijesa’s legal fees.

The man donated €20 pounds oh, not 50. Anyway, it is hilarious because who is he expecting to donate the remaining €49,980?

I suspect this is a form of scam.

Also, i can see a lot of Yoruba veteran actors like Jide Kosoko supporting this guy, i don't know if it is peer pressure because Mr Macoronni is obviously not in support of the rubbish as he has other sources of income apart from Yoruba movies.

Maybe they should have used Jide Kosoko's daughter for the sample, let's see how he would react.

qtguru:
Please join the next Clubhouse meeting we have, my topic will be around what to do as a Junior dev with no experience, you will benefit from it I promise

When is your next clubhouse meeting?

Thanks for this information, I use to wonder how she got all that money from Blogging.

I know she charges 500k - 1.5M per week for her Ads as at 2015, at least last time I spoke with her via her Email, which is good money but she is worth Billions of Naira which sources are not necessarily tied to that blogging site itself.

Also, this is why I don't like aspire to maguire stories, we don't know what people do to actually make their money.

It's not about gender, man or woman.

Curious345:
Lol..

Linda would go on to pioneer the blogging space in Nigeria and dominate it , especially during the yaradua and GeJ years ..

She was close to the powers that be at the time , and was secretly awarded A PR( public relations) contract by the GeJ adminstration to the tune of 10billion naira.

After that , the rest was history ..

And that is why she is always mentioned in the DASUKI files as a receptor of slush funds ....

This isn't about Men please.

It is a motivation and push for every person out there, everything isn't about Men.

LadyRosa:
[s]I love bold women like Linda Ikeji. She is a story that speaks of the greatness of any Nigerian woman who fight against all odds to be something.

Linda Ikeji makes weak, egoistic and most importantly financially handicapped Nigerian men have sleepless nights.It doesn't matter if the man is rich, as long as he is egoistic marriage with a successful Nigeria woman is hardly attainable. That's where I have a problem with Linda... It's difficult to be a single billionaire and have a good husband in Nigeria.Many Nigerian men in their millions can't stand a successful single woman,no matter how you got your money.... Hardwork or otherwise.
That's why Linda should go beyond Nigeria men. I can't be a Linda Ikeji and narrow my search around Nigeria men. Infact my life time consideration Will torchlight around foreign billionaire like myself in their late forties and beyond. Nigeria men can't handle billionaire wives/girlfriend, their empty ego won't let them. You can keep them as your drivers and stewards ONLY, and employ them for minor domestic roles . Going further, she can extend employing highly unbiased intelligent technocrats who are open minded. For me I rather employ a gay Nigerian technocrat, and may decide to have them as PA. I have studied this sexuality and trust me the intelligent ones will give you want you want. They will work with you and around without giving you emotional troubles.

If I have the kind of money this lady has, I will lodge in 5 stars hotels around the world so I can meet white haired billionaires! Advance Men with substance that their kisses alone makes my business gains triple. Men that will place me on paparazzis and not these nairaland cheap guys, who abuse successful ladies yet they have sisters that _4cks for free and still deminds to be loved.[/s]

Thanks

IDIOT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO QUOTE THE WHOLE THREAD.

I thought they were supposedly in a relationship. What did I miss.

I heard that to. I am wondering what is going on now.

Even though I'm not the OP, I really learnt from your story but please don't be offended i have some questions to ask because context is needed.

1. At what age did you actually complete your MBA and choose to settle down?

2. Was age a factor that affected you?

3. You said all those good girls that hung around me were all taken

Does it mean that you could no longer find a good woman or good women who were interested in you?

I mean did good women dissapear on the face of the earth, I'm confused.

HoneyBadgerr:
I typically don't comment on threads like this, but I felt like I owed you some truth from another brother who has traveled a similar path.

Like you, I consider myself to have an above average level of intelligence and had life bursting on all sides as I moved from one position to another at different multinationals. I eventually crushed my GMAT and headed out of Naija to a top B-school. I had my eyes at the very top and nothing was going to stop me. And, by the way, unlike in your case, mine was self-funded with some loans on the side. Got my MBA and decided it was time to settle down, but all those good girls that hung around me were all taken. Trust me, this would be more pronounced if you decide, as I assume, to settle in North America.

After B-school, you should be making loads of cash. As someone from a consulting background, nailing a good job or getting into MBB may not be too difficult, but the higher you fly, the lonelier it gets at the top. That's when you will come full circle to realise that LIFE IS MORE THAN MONEY OR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS.

I'm really hoping you never have to come to the point where you understand why God through the Bible says that a good woman is hard to find, and her worth far more than diamonds. Only God gives true wisdom. Be wise and ask him for help, so you never have to regret this decision or indecision. Cheers!

Lifeisgoody:
You're one of the reasons why Nigeria is going backwards. You can see a glaring lie like this and you are still supporting him. No wonder our politicians treats us anyhow they like. You can not comprehend it until you can keep millions in your personal account.

Why are you doubting? Go to the business section and see people on this platform who even have over 500 Million doing business. You are here spewing rubbish.

Stewart883:
Look if he is loaded or not,that is not anyone's business!!! You don't just come online and spill trash that you're a millionaire!! No one gives a fuvk!!! If that money he has is true let him contact a travel agent or just go to any embassy of his choice and get information.... Besides I wonder what gave him the balls to spill such net worth when we have alot of insecurity in Nigeria

Why so angry? It is not your money.

ppforte:
If not for bad economy, 120k is not so big like u think!

Wrong! 120k USD in any economy is a lot of money. Do you research, how many US citizens have that money saved?

bdon123:
No its not easy or fast.i got admission since last yr applied visa since Feb n nothing yet till now. Not even a msg frm dem

You should have re-applied this year again. Why don't you just try the Canadian PR route with your wife, I assume she is younger and it would be much easier.

Mr Yesboss123

All my brother keeps ringing in my head is that I allow nothing distract me during the program, not even marriage, cos his $50k (partial tuition, accommodation and feeding during the program) must not go to waste neither must I 'manage' after graduation, cos the plan is for me to work, earn well and sponsor my younger brother in 5 years thereabout.

Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on the angle you see it, you have a duty to your family to help your siblings in 5 years from now, your elder brother has already put down $50,000 USD. For those who don't know how much that is, It is 25Million Naira in today's Aboki FX rate.

I'm not even sure any of my family members except parents can spend that money on me, no jokes! They will rather buy themselves a new BMW.

The reality is that you have to forfeit the Love of your life for the greater good, just tell her you cannot pay any bride price for now. If she cannot wait, let her go and find someone else. You seem to love her very much, well prepare to keep in contact. Women know guys who have ambition, I can bet that she would never let you slip away. She might even be dating someone by the side while you are away but it would be nothing serious unless you specifically made it clear that you are no longer interested.

Keep in contact, avoid sending too much money back home to her, because humans are unpredictable.

But remember, as pocohantas said. The Devil you know is always better, If or when you decide to move on from her, better marry a Nigerian there o. Once you come back home to pick wives, you will enter one chance walaitalai.

Theoutsider:
Oh shut up. you openly admit you are a hypocrite.
Didn't you say that was your last response.

You know nothing about VISA programs kid.

I was replying to a different account and then you couldn't even face me like a man, but had to login with another account.

You had to login with your alternate account to attack me. You are just a coward!

I schooled you and explained the differences between each VISA type and you are here blabbing. I even gave you Links you can look up.

I shouldn't even have replied you.

Pricyy:
Good morning everyone.
I don't know if this is the right section to post this, but I'll appreciate your opinion.
I'm currently running my industrial training in an organization. so yesterday, my boss and his colleague were talking about employing an office assistant to run errands in the office, I suggested that he employs me to fill the position ( I run most of the errands anyway), but he declined stating that my internship is a paid one( which he didn't mention at the beginning, he said it's at the end of my internship he'll pay me. I've been there for two months now) I felt bad afterwards.
I regret asking him to employ me to fill that position...

I suspect something fishy, why didn't they mention your internship is paid? Anything that isn't written in a document is not an agreement.

I suggest you move on with your duties and not expect anything, please also try to get real Internships that will allow you learn a skill instead of running errands.

Beware of Nigerian styled Internships that want to turn you into office house girl, you're an Intern meant to learn not an office assistant.

I think you need mentors in your life. Why would you even ask for an office assistant job in the first place.

stagger:
You are such a big fool. You do not know it yet. That is your problem.

You cannot even work as a gateman in my company. If you are jobless, I can send you the number of my farm manager to employ you in my farm I set up with N8m in a COVID year.

I have been here since 2009. Go figure.

LMAO bro, you don't have any company. You are a scammer & that's why you are pained because I found you out. It is easy to deceive people in an anonymous forum such as Nairaland, many people have been fooled because they are desperate of traveling abroad. You're not going to fool me.

Go & check all my previous post, I'm a Senior Software Engineer. My undergraduate wasn't even in Nigeria, I finished from a top UK university. Check out all my previous post from Travel & Programming post.

You are trying to do a dick measuring competition with me, you must be mad!

stagger:
You are free to come to whatever conclusion you like. I do not freaking care.
It is a good thing I just deleted your message request. I don't have time for nincompoops.

Bro you are a scammer. OP should be weary of you.

planetx:
I can see how dumb you are really are with your reply. My first visit to the US was in 1996 probably you was still a toddler then, so I don't need anyone that have never been to the airport to deceive me, I know Latinos and Latin America immigrants very well and El salvadorians, Guatemalans and Hondurans are the people walking by the millions towards the US border that you see on CNN. You have no clue and you cannot lecture me about the US so go and take a seat somewhere. Yeah I forgot to add your imaginary brother built two duplexes in Ikoyi within 13 months of arriving in Philippines, you must think I am a slowpoke like you.

How old were you in 1996?

I need some first hand stories.

stagger:
I asked the creator of the thread and not you, so I will simply delete your message.

The question is, which remote work Visa exactly? I sure know of countries that offer it like Germany, Estonia etc but never really met anyone who actually got it.

It's a simple thing, It's either you're just a fvcking agent trying to trick the OP of his money or an ordinary liar at best.

stagger:
Get a remote work visa. I have one and presently live outside Naija. Contact me via DM for an honest expose on the whole thing.

I have DMed you, even though I am not the creator of the thread.
