Wish I could show you my visa. 😂 🤣

I do not want to give out too much personal information,
I just hope you can tell which places these are.

lol....you do know that those numbers in the banners are very visibly Nigerian numbers right?

I have only experienced this once. Thankfully I was able to veer off road in time to avert a collision. Car came to a stop afterwards. It was the brake master that had gotten clogged over time and finally failed. No warning light prior to this incident. Still drove it all the way from the scene (Ibafo) to Ojuelegba area with low speed and using the brakes still (which worked intermittently) in conjunction with the handbrake to stop the car when necessary. My heart raced for a few secs, but I was pretty composed for the most part.

Angelfrost:
Nope... We won't do shit together!

We didn't unite during EndSars!

Failed to unite during COVID-19!

Chose Ethnicity and religion during last 2 major national elections!

Nigerian unity is a ship that has long sailed and capsized!

It's every man for himself... Every Mallam with his tea kettle!

Jungle don mature... It's now survival of the fittest!

aptly put! Nothing more to add!

tensazangetsu20:
Whoever no get plans to japa na fool na. Honestly I can't even imagine Nigeria in a years time talk less of 8 years

see this now. No outcry from anyone. Shioor! Hypocritical bunch y'all.

Raalsalghul:
You mean to tell me that you've not discouraged folks from moving out of Nigeria with your perchance to jump on any negativity regarding living abroad especially in U.K threads.

Or is this not one of them below:

https://www.nairaland.com/7505276/japa-not-hypocrisy-what-think

I'm sure if I check, I will find out more.

Coming to tell us how you're tired of Nigeria and whatnots...

e be like say I over-estimate you. That thread was to call out the hypocrisy of abroadarians that don't like to hear certain facts about living abroad from others but share same facts themselves. I still welcome you to share any posts or thread where I discouraged mere strangers from emigrating. So far, quashing false statements made by some haughty people abroad, or saying I no fit do care work like over 200 contacts of mine have done, or saying I can't imagine leaving all I have worked for here to start again for no sensible or justifiable reason, all do not connote discouraging anyone from traveling. Note I use the words 'I' and 'me' meaning I am speaking for myself. The problem is you all have somehow turned logic on its head and concluded that anyone who is not japa crazy like una, must be against the concept and have failed in life, and thus are antagonistic to even hard facts just cos said facts are shared by said people, only for you to re-echo same facts in other discussions..It is ludicrous at best. That is what that thread you quoted was about, seeing as it flew right over your head..smh

There is a bubbling thread about tips for living in the UK right in the same travel section, and it is all doom and gloom for the most part, but no outcry cos na abroadarians discussing. MENT!

Raalsalghul:
But you have consistently attacked people who are planning to Japa or who have japaed?

Seen your argument several times on the travel thread.

You folks will never put yourselves in someone's shoes until it touches you.

Mtchewww!

I expect more from you. Your post history shows some level of common sense. So why this drab 'let down' of a post? Screenshot any post where I am antagonistic to any gaddem stranger that wants to emigrate. Just one! I have said I am not interested in emigrating unless under very specific circumstances and that hasn't changed, even today. You should do better bro/sis! I no japa, no drink panadol on top wetin no concern you, and don't rope me into watery lies. I'll be waiting for the post(s) you have where I said people should not emigrate.

In simple terms, Nigeria is not for you as an Igbo person or ethnic minority from the south-south. The earlier you know this, the better for una.


1. As an Igbo person, the bulk of your investment should be outside Nigeria. Tinubu’s administration would deal with Igbos economically, just as Buhari did militarily.

2. Ethnic minorities from other parts of Nigeria, especially the south south and even Northern Christians, should expect strong and in-your-face discrimination during property search, job search and anything official. You would be regarded as an Igbo person. This is more peculiar to Ibibios and Efiks as they look like Igbos. Another close group is the Binis. You should prepare to be denied access to certain places and things because you would be categorised as an Igbo person. You don’t know how to speak Igbo and are not Igbo. In fact, you might even hate Igbos, but whatever ill treatment Igbos face, trust me, you would experience the same.

3. Igbos in Igbo-dominated markets in Lagos should be prepared for the mother of all economic destruction. Computer Village, Ladipo, Alaba and other markets would be converted to other uses by the government, forcefully or otherwise. There would be an increase in fire incidents across major markets, leading to loss of goods and properties. Your investments would be razed down, and no one would rescue you.

4. As an Igbo person residing in the south west, you would be excluded from ALL state and federal government assistance and policies.

5. In the next twenty years, Nigeria would experience another civil war. This time, your properties would not be seized but razed down. Last time, you got 20 pounds. By 2040-2050, one pound or even one kobo, you would not see. Again, as an Igbo person, move your wealth outside Nigeria. Open offshore accounts. Buy citizenships of other countries. In this case, do it strategically. Don’t buy that of St Nevis but Grenada as it leads to the EB1 visa of the US. Get insured, but this is for the short term. The long-term is offshoring every money you have. Do not put all your wealth, savings and assets in Nigeria. It is better to live with racists in a prosperous place than reside with tribalists in the world’s poverty capital.

Tinubu is coming. Do not say I did not warn you. As usual, there would be some people who would say otherwise, but when it happens, I would always be here to remind you and gloat at you. I am very good at gloating. Ask around.

Lastly, YOU CAN NEVER LOSE BETTING AGAINST NIGERIA. NEVER HAS IT HAPPENED!

for the first time, I agree with your submissions, particularly the last submission, wholeheartedly.

Every shred of optimism I had for the country was killed during the sad events that followed Feb 25.

Na to just face my life, my family,my destiny and forge ahead. Anything wey go happen to Nigeria and Nigerians, the bulk of them deserve it in full measure.

(1) Never vote again. It's absolutely pointless and a gross waste of time
(2) Pursue personal happiness. Leave every other person to his fate.
(3) Do everything I can to japa from this country this year. I can't allow my 3 children to grow up in an environment like this.
(4) Never look back again. Make sure I am buried in the land of sincere people abroad.
(5) I nearly had a heart attack watching Nigeria play a penalty shootout in an under 21 male World Cup a few years ago. That day I decided to remove my mind from anything football. Today I very rarely watch football and when I do, it is with almost 100% dispassion.
I will do same with respect to Nigerian politics. It is not safe for ones health
(6) I believe in God's Plan for Nigeria. I believe He is not yet done with this election. Unexpected and unprecedented events will unfold in this nation within the next 10 months. God will shake things up a bit and the chaff will be removed from the wheat

on the flip side, the lesson I learnt is not to bank on God to shake up Nigeria the way we expect. If it was gonna happen it would have. I genuinely believed I was seeing the hand of God in this 2023 election. I was wrong as it was simply the hands of Wike, Tinubu, Buhari, Mahmood etc. The new powers that be are the likes of El-rufai, Ganduje, Yaya Bello, Wike, Oluomo, Shettima, Tinubu etc. They are the ones the good Lord has given a whole lot more power. Let's see what they do with it.

Just gonna face my life, for me and mines. Daz all!

Fayos1:
I ask again, Are you sure?

https://www.nairaland.com/7589922/25-fct-not-requirement-emerge

the statement credited to Falana states that winning FCT is not a prerequisite. He did not say securing the 25% required is not a prerequisite. Having 25% in a state/FCT is different from winning a state/FCT

Kelvin3476:
MORE THAN 30% BRO.
10% TO 200K EQUALS 20,000 , 20% EQUALS 40,000 VOTES AND 25% EQUALS 50,000 VOTES WHILE HE RIGGED OVER 90K VOTES

25% of total votes cast. Go and look at the figure of the total votes cast for Abuja.

Fayos1:
Are you sure

very sure

Mylove55:
which state was rugged for APC,
Because I'm still looking for the state,
Apc came out 2nd in almost all state

rigged doesn't necessarily mean you came out tops. If you actually had 2 and it is was turned to 200 that is rigging. If your opponent had 200 and you removed one zero and made it 20, that is rigging.

Jokay07:
Interpretation of the law is a not as straight forward as many people think.

Let me ask one question

Why do people use to say "We have 36 States in the Nigeria including FCT?"

This is simple.

what you typed now is inaccurate. We don't say that. We say 36 states and the FCT

36 states including FCT is different from 36 states and the FCT

The whole thing is scrambled. PU result of a state are showing under another state. These people deceived us. 4yrs of planning and not one promise was kept? Mehn, I give up on this country! Make I just face my life and affairs.

Peter Obi will get the highest aggregate votes. This is clear for anyone to see. His stronghold states havn't been declared yet, while Tinubu and Atiku's stronghold states have been declared. When the SE SS and NC votes roll in he will have the highest aggregate votes and will go into a Re-run with the second place candidate. Watch and see.

lhordspy:
Ofcourse. Why wont you win. When the movement is driven by ethnic and religious sentiment instead of competence.

Every ram and chicken can contest so far he has got yiibo and sentimental Christian vote to depend on.

I Guess this is the new Nigeria you guys want. Nigeria that will be filled with inexperience, incompetent random people.

lol...while the experienced, competent, non-random people dragged 130million people into extreme poverty. We certainly need more inexperienced people who aren't DEVILS in human form

We are on the same team, but take a look at the picture and you'll see it states total number of Registered voters as available on the database that was last updated Feb 20. If it said accredited voters as of Feb 20, that is when you have evidence of foul play

Atiku will come third in total votes. This is clearly gonna be a run-off between Obi and Tinubu.

ednut1:
In owo ondo. APC also won despite owo massacre

my SW folks really fell my hand. Just let this guy have 25% in three SW states aside Lagos, and this election is won by LP clean and clear. Imagine the north giving more votes to LP than enlightened SW. I jus taya. PO will have majority votes at the end of the day, but won't have the 24 states spread. Run-off very likely now.

Pierocash:
I am Obidient,but Obi is out of the race. The only person coasting to victory right now is Atiku. Atiku has gotten 25% vote in 26 states ,while Tinubu is 18 states. The rerun may likely be between Atiku and Tinubu.

But I repeat, Tinubu will never rule us

if he has 25% in 26 states but he is third place in majority votes, nothing for him. PO will score the majority votes when his own stronghold states come in, but won't get the 24states spread. A run-off btw Obi and Tinubu is very likely

My southwest people really disappointed me. All I expected is that the youths should help us achieve 25% in at least three SW states aside Lagos. If that had been the case, this election would have been deemed won by PO by now. PO will have the majority votes but won't achieve the 24 states spread. Imagine,even the North giving more figures than the enlightened SW. So disappointing. They scream no job, no light, no this, no that, but still went with the PDAPC instead of saying enough is enough. Una daddies and mummies in the SW and some youths, una no try oooo.

Godwin4444:
even when d best enugu gave obi is 450k
D best abia gave was 150k
The best of anambra is 500k. Max

These results are less than 1.2 million n only 2 igbo states left

Imo n ebonyi n I can bet both can’t give 1 million votes combined

lol. How about Jos, FCT, Abuja and others..lol

[quote author= post=121301606]LP secured 25%[/quote]unfortunately no. If these figures are true, it is less than 20%

ahiboilandgas:
It the defeat of tinibu in Lagos and osun it has been proven without doubt that Lagos is no man Man . L.P( ibos, northern Christians, southern south ) vs Yorubas played out.

wrong dear friend. I am Yoruba. Most young educated Yoruba's went with LP. Ain't no way I would ever support a Tinubu or an Atiku.

Soulvein:
This is pure rigging, labour party should be getting more votes than this. We'll not take this manipulated result.
INEC has failed Nigerians by colluding with APC to rig this election.

it is Ekiti result. The op is being mischievous.

OP you sef no get tiny integrity ni? Deactivate this account already! Lol

Silly lies. This is the result for Ekiti. Keep fooling yourselves.

adioolayi:
This is absolutely stunning!

Peter Obi surpassed my projections... Brilliant outing.

I think two LGAs are outstanding, and APC is leading for now...you can check the calculations again

yea you're right about the calculations. I did the sums and saw the discrepancy. However, PO still wins, because only Ojo remains and when that comes in, it is a done deal.

sammy329:
They really underrated Oyo APC. We were moving from house to house. We were begging. We struck deals. We did all homework.

Now see us winning the entire Senate seats.
We deserve a pat on our back. But we go again March 11

Oyo APC ise tun ti ya !!

unseat Makinde?? Goodluck bro

ufotunang:
...how ?...he has not even won one state yet till now...the INEC server technical problem has caused problems for Peter obi .. INEC wants to favour a particular presidential candidate

Jos, Lagos already in the bag from announced results so far. Were you expecting him to win in core north or SW? we only expect him to score good votes and/or score the minimum 25% required. His vote blocs in SE and SS will troop in soon. Just wait

Solsix:
Lies, roughly 850k were accredited to vote in kano

exactly. This shit is false... accredited voters were around 800000
