Just look at the smelly nonsense you're writing
How many corpers survive wholly on their 33k stipends? Can you survive on 66k?
Most corpers are augmented by their family and friends
It's the most asinine thing I ever heard to reduce corpers to poverty and low lives. Do you realise they are graduates with skill sets and ability to generate income? I don't know how you served but when I served, I was getting income from 3 different sources along with my allawee
Just imagine saying a corper has no business taking uber or buying eggs in a supermarket? Like who reasons like that if not a wretched lowlife?!!

well said!

While i also dont agree that she was wise to have done that video, given that she is currently serving and is bound by certain rules, the responses by some wretched folks here focusing on hair and eggs, and uber just goes to show how deeply scorched these one have been by poverty. My kid bro in uni, since late last year i send 50k to him every month for upkeep, for just Ife here o. And no be spendthrift, talkless girl wey dey do hair and other gurly expenses.

They expect that corpers are never do wells and orphans like they are. Corpers cant have family that send them upkeep money. When i served in 2010, my alawwe was 9775. That 9775 is far more valuable than 30k today. Now let's say she is even a spendthrift and doesn't know how to manage money well, does that negate the painful reality of pain and suffering that has pervaded the land? Does her spending habit invalidate the fact that the economy is in shambles owing to failed and morose leadership?

No they'd rather defer to eggs and hair and uber.

Irredeemable Povernaires!😁

Egbon mi... Lagos really needs to work on the environmental issue......... I am not blaming Lagos state but I still blame them... We that go round knows this..


About the Tinubu govt, they need to really attend to the needs of the masses.. People are really really suffering and I can't pretend about it...

why cant you pretend about it? What changed? Other jagabandits on here have no probs at all pretending, why break the rank and file?

Nobody is suffering! All is fine and well with the country!

The end.

Gerrard59:

So they rather do care jobs than apply to similar roles in Nigeria they were in before they left?

how na

99% sold off everything and got on that plane, some as students, but all with no intention of returning. If na you sef, after selling everything to relocate and start over in Youkay, shey you go com relocate back to Nigeria to start all over yet again? No way!

Most just defer to 'better quality of life' and 'my children's future are secured' as consolation. Only problem is that is factually nonsense, cos quality of life is subjective and children that will be yamayama from poor upbringing will still be yamayama regardless of location, or worse still, more likely to happen sef due to location, both ways...case in point gangs and knife wielding maniacs in peckham, mostly of African/Nigerian descent or the yahhoboiz/cultists/oloshos in naija

The debate around relocating abroad (“Japa”) has intensified after media personality Dele Momodu claimed that anyone who spends ₦30 million to leave Nigeria is a fool. His statement sparked mixed reactions online, with some agreeing while others says that that 30 million is nothing compared to the financial reward that comes with japa

Having lived in the UK for some time now, I’ll share an honest perspective on the financial reality of life here, especially for those considering selling anything just for relocation.

Breaking Down Earnings in the UK

For context, I work an average of 36 hours per week (9 hours daily for 4 days), meaning in a month, I clock 144 hours of work.

Minimum wage in the UK is £11.44 per hour, and most employers are required to pay this, except in cases like apprenticeships.
144 hours × £11.44 = £1,647.36 per month
After tax deductions, which depend on factors like number of jobs and tax codes, my take-home pay is around £1,479.55.


Monthly Expenses in the UK
Here’s a breakdown of my fixed monthly costs:

House rent – £700
Gas & electricity – £120
Council tax – £110
Water bill – £43.46
Food – £200
Transport – £140
Phone bill – £52 (for two people

Total expenses: £1,365.46
Remaining balance: £114.09

Note: food is extremely cheap and affordable unlike in Nigeria. That's why most that relocated after few months they look revived and fresh

Now, factor in additional responsibilities. We send £150 monthly to family back home in Nigeria. My wife, who works part-time (two days per week because of our baby as leaving the children will risk losing them to the governmen), earns about £732 per month, which we try to save, though unforeseen expenses (baby food, transport, etc.) often reduce our savings to around £500 per month.
Aside this we spent over 4000 pounds this year alone for health insurance. Yes its a must you pay it and funny enough i have not visited the hospital once since i arrived.

More worrisome is the endless billing from home , the billing from friends and extended family is out of this world, from your pastor who want tithe in pounds and thinks it's because of his or her prayer u went out, to your siblings, to your inlaws, to secondary schools friends, university's friends to even your street guys to Facebook friends. Those who will quickly open Opay account for their 3 years old child and forward you school fees or birthday bill. What about those who forwarded us their house rent bill to help clear their rent of over 500k abeg na

A lot of Nigeria said if they are offered 50 million and japa, they will prefer japa as they will earn more over when i read this comment on Facebook i just laugh hard as this is not the case as a research said that over 39% of UK residents have a minimum of 1000 pounds as savings this means that Despite earning in pounds, many struggle with high living costs, taxes, and bills but on the other hand In Nigeria, ₦50M can fund investments that generate steady income.
In the UK, unless you’re in a high-paying field, you will mostly live paycheck to paycheck


Comparing Life as a Single vs. Married Individual Abroad


Single individuals have a higher chance of saving since they have fewer responsibilities.

Married couples without kids can maximize their earnings by both working full-time while covering expenses from one salary and saving entirely the other salary.

Families with children face higher expenses, including childcare, health insurance, visa fees.

This is why adequate preparation is crucial before relocating, especially for families


Is Dele Momodu Right? Should You Japa with ₦30M?

His point is valid if you look at finances alone because at the ene of the day almost all you make goes back to the system. But If insecurity concerns and food inflation in Nigeria didn’t exist, staying back with ₦30M would be a better financial decision as you could expand your business.


Final Thoughts: Should You Japa?

Japa is not a one-size-fits-all decision. If you have ₦30M and solid income streams in Nigeria, it might be wiser to invest and build wealth at home. But if safety and quality of life matter more, than wealth accumulation then relocating might still be the best option but must be done tactically especially when coming on student visa as one academic error could throw u off.

Bottom line: Japa is not a magic solution—it requires careful planning, a realistic mindset, and financial discipline.

I remember you very well..I remember engaging with your earlier thread, and wishing you the best through your ordeal at the time.

But I can't understand why you are yet again creating a thread like this one, that achieves nothing, ultimately.

I'm sure if we could turn back time, to go back to where you were mentally when you began your journey to Japa, 10001 of these kain threads would not have deterred you. So I just wonder what you hope to achieve with it now. Even Dele Momodu wey dey cap, prolly spends more than half of the year overseas.

These kain decisions should be left to each person to make and deal with. No need for convincing or explaining. It is pointless! I don taya to dey read this kain threads for here aswear


Those that think it best to stay in Naija should be left alone, as they have the conviction that they know what they are doing. Those that think is best to Japa should be left alone, as they also have the conviction that they know what they are doing...

All this shalaye is not necessary

Chuck Schumer better get more bodyguards o. How dare he allow common sense prevail at the last minute? These loony yet angelic dems fit kpai am o, cos at the moment their mental health is only being held up by a thread, too much back to back loss, frustration and heartbreak, kinda like how Saul felt with David....lol

So far so good, DT is on point and walking the walk. He just needs to be less emotional/impulsive about this trade war situation, and rather be more strategic, cos while he can achieve his aim and win, with the way he's going on about it atm, the con's far outweigh the pro's, and by and large the situation clearly can be better handled, no be this one wey he wan kill ant with sledgehammer. Count the cost of stirring the hornet's nest before continuing to barrel down that lonely road DJT.

Definitely faked. You can't put it past this bull in a China shop.

This looked similar to the one that he was blagging Trump coin

let's say NO to fake news.

That said, Donald Oluwafemi Trump needs to calm the F down, and rethink his approach. He should pause, reflect and re-strategize. Right now, he is just plain impulsive, on just about everything.

More tact, less tantrums should be his watchword.

Big mistake, but atleast he is alive and life goes on. As for my guy, when naija started getting tough for him, he sold his shop he owned in a complex, sold his suv, took the money to apply for visavisa for his family. This was ending of Obama period when US was issuing visa to anyone that applied as family ohh. The guy got the visa. Note also his rent had expired tay tay, but he decided to use the money to fund the japa planing they will leave the country.
Anyway all the money went in funding the visa at Abuja embassy all the way from Lagos.
Long and short the money remaining was for ticket. Na there my guy made mistake. Since money no reach madam convinced to allow her go first and that after working she will send money for him and the kids to come. Na so she japa. Fresh fine yellow woman. After some time I no longer saw the kids, on asking my guy said his wife came and flew with the kids say when she raises more money she will get him ticket to come. Omo, that was how the years started going. I don't know what he said happened ohh, but he said he got a call from the embassy that his visa was cancelled but I think it expired. Na so this guy stayed, no house, was patching with friends, staying in church etc, a guy that had money before. That was how health challenges started, diabetic complications, high blood pressure, swollen feet etc, no one to care for him. He will call me, I will send him money. The last one he called that he was sick, I sent, few days later he called I sent, he called shortly again that he was in the hostital and if I saw him I will not recognise him. I felt he was taking advantage of me and ignored his calls and WhatsApp messages, that was my big regret because I got a call he was dead!
His wife and kids did not show up(likely because of cost or no documents). Infact I heard she had filled for divorce long before his death as she had moved on with her life in the US along with his kids and that put a lot of stress on him.
Man J (1969-2003), continue to rest in peace.
In summary, japa separately works for some peoole, but it is advisable for the family to go at once or worst, you the man should go and then bring your family. Some will argue that family should stay in naija while the man hustles abroad.

if he died in 2003, then that was def not Obama period. Obama's tenure was from 2009-2017.

That said, as I have always held, my family stays together ALWAYS. Even staying in different states doesn't work for me, much less staying in a different country. There will always be cracks when you stay apart for an extended period of time. Even the ones wey some think worked out, check well and you'd find that secrets dey wey just never dey revealed/discovered yet.

Personally, I no wan cheat. And I know i can't stay too long without. And I know once I break my vow, I go dey do am dey go. 9 years married, no incident...and I want to keep it that way. I want to be totally present in my children's lives, their growth and upbringing, just like my parents were always present in mine. My mum could have left us in 2000 to go to the UK, but she couldn't go through with it cos she knew it would affect the family. Me and my family are and will remain inseparable. If we move, we move together. If we stay, we stay together. I get house for Ibadan, still I don move everybody come Lagos in December as work don bring me here. I no wan make my children dey see me only 12-24times a year. If I have a house to myself alone in Lagos, I go dey lash babes. So, I lock house, move everybody come here...I kuma go rent house either way. Problem solved

gbamsolutely.

E be like say most on here wanted the war to continue..Or let me rephrase, una want the war to end 'the right way🤣'. Trump say he no dey interested in funding any nonsense war again shikena. No money, no weapons, no intelligence coming from the USA anymore. The result? The war will be over prolly before end of the week, as should.

The END.

grandstar:
I'm certain the primary reason for all his present generosity is to bankrupt the competition who import petroleum products into the country

one of the few times we agree on simple and basic things. Some are still praising BAT, when Dangote is simply ensuring that importers are killed off completely, since the FG failed to grant his request that import licences be banned.

Anyone that has just a little grasp of history, can see exactly what Dangote is trying to do. Doesn't even require much brain power, just requires that you remember recent history. Once Dangote has killed off the importing cabal which is the Nnpcl, na then we Nigerians go once again see say no be father Christmas and all this was just to set up his monopoly as usual.

We had better hope Rabiu finishes his own refinery on time, else wetin we dey see with cement na child's play, and esp as we still have no fully functional refineries after all the lies and propaganda.

Quote where you explain it .I ask because I want to learn

which is a better situation/state of affairs, 2billion that could buy 200 trailers of gravel vs 6 billion that can buy 80-100trailers of gravel?

Faac tripled, but the actual real value of the money has more than halved, and you the ordinary Nigerian who is most affected is rejoicing.

What a shambles! Smh

Chai how will grandstar and ninjametahuman defend/explain this subsidy/under-recovery/exchange rate differential/intervention/any other adjective dem don use so far wey I don forget.

What a significant progress and savings💯👏🏼💯

Just like allocation that quadrupled in volume yet more than halved in actual value/worth.

The more you look, the less you see, As ALWAYS.

Lmao

This is just plain occultic...in broad daylight nonetheless.

Yuck!

Yinmu!🤣🤣🤣

Sell to avert which losses? Dollar wey I buy at less than 700, na im I go sell at 1500 to avert losses?

Keeping my dollar stash gidigba.

Money should be a store of value. I'ma keep storing as much of my money in USD till the naira shows strong fundamentals. For now, all this one na window dressing. My only regret is not hoarding since like 2016 sef. At least if I had pursued that religiously by putting away just 100k every month and buying dollar with it, I for comfortably get tens of thousands of dollars in savings by now.

That is what happens when you encourage nonentities. Una go carry dregs of society and turn them to celebrities, come dey call am grace.🤣

In the words of Brymo, 'Oleku, tell me something wey portable no fit do...'

All these morose children wey Nigerians choose to elevate.

judewrites:
📖 Genesis 38
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁸ And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
⁹ And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
¹⁰ And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.


In the Old Testament God gave His people some laws concerning the discharge of semen from a man. (Leviticus 15:16-18)

According to these laws:

👉Anytime a man discharges his semen outside procreation (with his wife) he is considered unclean.

👉Any type of surface a man's semen falls upon is considered unclean.

👉When a man is in the process of procreation (with his wife) and he discharges his semen externally, both of them are unclean.

From these laws, we can see how sacred/sacrosanct man's semen is to God.

God ordained that man's semen should be utilized in procreation (with His wife) and not discharged carelessly/anyhow like in the case of Onan.

God killed Onan because he in outright disobedience, desecrated his semen by pouring it out on the floor instead of procreating with Tamar. (As custom then allowed it to raise children to represent his dead brother)

The major purpose of a man's semen is for procreation; to produce children on earth:

📖 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
— Psalms 112:2

The semen of man is full of supernatural creative energy from God. It can create life therefore it is highly valuable in the spiritual realm.

This is why the more a man practices semen retention, (with bible reading/prayer) the more supernaturally creative he becomes like God Himself. (Hebrews 11:3)

The devil and his cohorts also seek semen to create life/exercise power in the demonic realms.

In God's perspective, a man's semen is LIFE and can create LIFE; therefore it shouldn't be treated with levity like it's done today with many through masturbation, MouthAction, homosexuality, fornication, etc

Unfortunately, the free availability of pornography/prostitution has misled much men in freely desecrating their semen attracting the wrath of God:

📖 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men...
— Romans 1:18

We are under the dispensation of grace by the blood🩸of Jesus, that's why God's wrath hasn't been fully manifested yet.

But grace period will be over soon.

wrong.

He wanted to eat his cake and have it. He wanted to enjoy the fck but didn't want to raise children for his brother as God commanded. The whole purpose of the fck was so his brother's lineage could continue through him. But no, he wanted to be sharp guy and fck pussy, without continuing the lineage according to the plan.

He didn't die simply cos he did withdrawal method, he died cos he was a sly fox.

First gforce5 opened thread about how diasporeans should be appreciated by ALL AND SUNDRY onto say dem dey send 100dollars to their respective families that are waiting cap-in-hand for handouts, now you sef don open thread about how much a diasporean should be able to save before his move can be said to make financial sense.

These conversations are ludicrous, honestly.

We all aspire to different things, have different needs, are on different levels, are making different moves, are pursuing happiness in different ways. It is ridiculous and haughty that one person would think his very limited knowledge or perception should be used as a yardstick for what others should or should not do, esp on these matters. If e no see 600dols save for 2weeks at a particular time X, does that mean he can't move up, get a better job, earn more and save more in X+2 months time?

Make everybody do wetin e believe say e pay am.

Simple!

Either way, you're not a prophet.

No be me you go whine.

Lace all the leaves along the perimeter of your farms with a potent poison. Ensure it is done about 6ft inward along the length and breadth of your farm. When cows die in droves in different locations and the owners of the livestock also suffer heavy losses, they'll learn

Regex:


Omo, I'm so pissed ngl.

and when you question some ridiculous things like this, or worse still champion the cause to do something decisive about it, the woke 'where is your humanity' crew will come out with plenty plenty nonsensical girama. Talk about being stuck in lala land.. lol

mrbonesy2k:
At about 10:58pm yesterday, my dog barked just once, i was surprised because i just left the sitting room. I woke up this morning to see this long black snake lying dead in my sitting room outside door.
My dog couldn't stand up nor eat. But i have taken her to my vet doctor for treatment.
Please what is the name of this snake and does it have deadly venom?

that is a cobra. Your dog is likely dead now, except by a stroke of luck, the vet has the specific anti-venom required

During my randy days, I used to nurse that fear a lot, even though it didn't stop me. The day one of the babes wey dey stay over that year had asthma attack for my house, I nearly had a heart attack that night. Omo!

Now, that is how to let everyone know that the sheriff is back in town. No more yama yama.

Mexico and Canada don fold as expected.
China may not tho, cos even during his first term the trade war lasted all through his tenure, and sleepy Joe who even castigated the tariffs didn't remove it either.

Their fada, Donald Oluwafemi Trump will appraise their performance and commitment to the set goals over the next month. If no changes or NOTICEABLE improvements, the whip comes out again.

💯💯💯

missjekyll:
Where is treadway ?
Treadway, like say dis your man na moomoo o

He has agreed to suspend tariffs on Mexico if Mexico deploys 10000 troops to the border.

Problem is Mexico has had 15000 troops deployed since 2019. So they got him to suspend hostilities by agreeing to do even less than they have been doing.

Trump has been had. Like a kindergartner.
Sheinbaum has just had him for breakfast.

I imagine Canada will have him for lunch too.

Lol. HA!

Ok, so first of all, he literally is winning cos the whole point of the deadline and the threat of tarrifs billed to come to effect on Tuesday is to ensure the concerned parties fold and come to the table. Mexico has done that, and be sure as hell, that Canada will do same. They will fold, cos they have no or low leverage in this matter/discussion. So he's not been 'had'

Second, shebi the 'brute' hear word and has now paused. Why still mad at him?

Third, you're referencing the deployment that happened in 2019 when Trump was there and literally made that happen then too, just as it has happened again now.
If those 15000 national guards were at the border all thru 2020-2024 when Sleepy Joe and cackling Kamala UNDID everything that was done to control illegal migration, doesn't it stand to reason that the mass influx of illegals won't have happened?. It happened cos there were no 15000national guards there during the Biden administration! Simple as ABC! Now that Trump has reset the clock, the point you want to put forward is that it is 10000 now.

Ati 15000, ati 10000 ati 5000, why Biden-Kamala no even do any??

See why I was laughing?

Does this look like a threat that was not perfectly executed? Who in these headlines is scrambling to do something to appease the other party?

So this Francis Van Lare na the father in-law...this man wey dey constitute nuisance online as poi-master......except someone is just using his pictures for those posts sha. His online persona is all about talking about all the women he has poi-ed in this life. Nothing else to put online other than poi. I hope I'm wrong and someone is just using his pictures and maybe a parody account to write all that trash, else he is a piece of trash, and no sane person should have anything to do with the likes of him or even his family.
