A Buhari loyalist as Senate president?
Nigeria is FINISHED

timesup234:
Laughable. You truly believe each states in Nigeria got less than 500 dollar millionaires? Only in my local government in Delta state i know over 500 persons with a asset/networth of over 350million naira ($1million)

let's assume you are right

500 × 37 = 18500 millionaire

let's add the 15400 that listed

that's roughly 34k

still very poor for a country like Nigeria

Nigeria should have at least a million millionaires

*Cheating on your wife doesn't mean that you don't love her. It's like hiring taxi when you have your own car at home. It saves tires, ensure longer lasting beauty and reduces mileage.*

this logic is not correct

winj:
I suppose what you want to hear is...Buhari has changed Nigeria to land of milk and honey!

What other way to put it to people who have the mental intelligence of apes!

no mind am

opebiboy:
Big things popping. By 2050 Nigeria will have the highest number of millionaires in the world.

which magic does Nigeria want to perform?

15400 millionaire in a population of close to 200m is despicable it should be much more
If not for our dead economy

TheKongoEmpire:
a year if I can. I'm doing the papers now.

that's fine

TheKongoEmpire:
Hello everyone since this is my first post I'll make this as concise as I can. I am a 30 year old Haitian American who is planning to visit Nigeria for the first time within the next 12 months. Since I do not want to bore anybody here with any Afrocentric rhetoric I would just say that I'm visiting to see the culture of my ancestors. Some of you may be aware of the president of Ghana declaring this year the right to abode. Although there is a large African American community in Ghana, Nigeria as always peaked my interest.

There is a brother on YouTube named Search for Uhuru who frequently visits various countries throughout the continent and it seems that Nigeria is his favorite if I remember correctly. Needless to say that has pushed my interest over the edge. That being said I would like to be in the continent for at least one year and in Nigeria for at least three months. I am an AC mechanic who is also going to University to study mechanical engineering so I hope that in the future instead of spewing old rhetoric I can actually do something conducive for the continent as a whole and for Nigeria specifically among other West African countries.

Since I hope to be in Nigeria for some time I have begin looking for rental properties. Specifically studios or mini flats. Since the air conditioning season is going to start soon in the state of Florida I will be busy for at least 6 months and hopefully I can save at least 20000 us dollars for this trip. I'm going to presume depending on where I stay the US dollar will take me far. That said I do not plan to live a absolutely lavish style but I am looking for recently built housing specifically within the last 2 years. I have been looking in cities in Lagos Abuja and ibadan. Since I don't have a family I would like to be in a city with a decent nightlife. To be honest I want to be in a city with a great nightlife. But as someone who sees himself as a pan African I do not want to be sidetracked and hopefully can get into productive are conducive social circles. I would also like to volunteer my time in anywhere my skills knowledge and intelligence would be deemed useful.

Any comments suggestions or recommendations or highly appreciated. I do wish I spoke Yoruba or Igbo fluently but I guess that will come with time. I don't want to make this longer then I already have so thank you for attention.

that's a Good move....


I'll suggest you settle in Lagos

BUT

I have to ask

is this gonna be a temporary move or a long term move?

Danirose007:
Lovely thread

indeed
Ghana is a lovely country I go to again and again
The only minus is that it is TOO EXPENSIVE

harlee:
hello madam,do I need the yellow fever card to travel to GH

As a statement of fact, YOU DO!

it's better ti travel with your passport AND yellow card

Ghana is a beautiful country

lefulefu:
a child weda male or female is still a child.if woman keeps on bearing female children then the problem lies with d man not the woman.it was probably ur nagging for a male child that pushed her to go outside.

you have a point

Dead and finished country

CoolAmbience:
What are you saying? What ground does Orji Kalu or the SE have to demand for the Senate Presidency?

I am from the SE but politics is not played that way. The NE delivered the second largest votes to President Buhari in the last election. Why deprive them in favour of the SE where the president didn't win in a single state?

What slots will then be given to the NC and SS that did better? Isn't it fair enough that the SE enjoyed the Deputy President position in the last four years of the APC administration?

let me ask you a simple question

how does having politicians from our region change anything?

or put in another way

Does it matter?

Hoodbilonia:
Looks like cut to size
Omo na wa o.
Everywhr is robbery,rape,kidnap.
Time to leave nigeria
Im fed up of the life here
Cant drive safely
Everyine is frustrated and ready to cheat,dupe,lie,kill.
Girls are useless and heartless
Using cars and material things to equate ones wealth
Dumb country
Ppl drink dia life out on a daily
Argue abt useless meaningless fotball matches
Bet dia lives away
Nothing is working
No damn thing
U make money and later spend it on frivolities

indeed


Nigeria is slipping further into the abyss


too much hunger, anger, frustration; desperation and wickedness in that failed country

if Nigeria continues like this

We would have a Honduras situation on our hands in 10 years time


useless country

abnot:
Indian citizens tops with about 40% and China follows . Isn’t India a third world country ? Can you compare the issuance figures from India with that of USA and U.K.? Americans don’t migrate to Canada in large numbers .

Just so you know

600k Americans live in Canada


1m Canadians live in the USA

So what is your point?

Beautyaddy:
That is not true.

Some Europeans and Americans are using the Canadian Express Entry Program to get Permanent stay into Canada.

Go to the Canada visa discussion forum to read cases there.

No mind am

Americans are top 10 for express entry


But they are moving there for different reasons tho.

Not like those of us from third world failed $hithole countries that are escaping the pervasive foolishness dominant in our countries

AreaFada2:
Very uptight and rigid too.
With a high suicide rate despite all the wealth.

nobody can be 100 % in everything na But black man is at the bottom of everything good sha

And it's sad.

zlantanfan:
telsa for naija?
How

the guy probably lives abroad

Raalsalghul:
Goes to show the backward mentality of black folks.....

indeed
many Nigerians got their priorities WRONG

from the comments I read here
it is clear that many Nigerians are SICK IN THE HEAD

AngelicBeing:
There is dignity in labor, whatever your hands finds to do, do it honestly

#Fact

Innoxxacs:
sometimes nothing more to it, or
You may be right. Children of nowadays sha what they pass through 1. bad economy 2. Bad parental background 3. Poor life orientation 4. Bad moral environment
Everything bad bad .

yea

those factors have damaged our kids

hayor2014:
Ontario is like Lagos with head offices of companies and has 14.3 million people now, Manitoba like Osun with 1.3 million people...I don't know where to place Alberta that has about 4.3 million people ... But way better than Manitoba job wise..... All beautiful cities though.... Alberta should be like P.H... Economy booms when oil prices and market is good... But now that the oil market is under.... Things are a bit slow.... You'll get a job eventually wherever you go.... But you might start small before you get what you really want

hmmm

I see

I like your analogy tho

how you put it

you must be a very imaginative person

hayor2014:
. Jobs

So no jobs in Alberta or Manitoba?

kroger:
I wouldnt agree more. Take a look at the border security everyone knows we need some sort of physical barrier, but cos its trump call they wanna thwart his effort and encourage open border. If care is not taken America will turn to a Spanish nation in some couple of years..

what's wrong with America becoming a "Spanish nation"?


The more people, the merrier it is for America

Why do most Nigerians prefer to move to Ontario tho
why not other provinces?
Like Alberta or even Manitoba?

wonder233:
Must we politicize everything? If you stay in upscale areas of Lagos and Abuja, you will know that truly Nigerians are importing pizzas from abroad. Why are we acting here like we don't know our people? The average Nigerian wants to 'prove', he wants to show off class. When Shoprite first opened it's franchises in Nigeria, the rich saw it as a perfect rendezvous, but when the hoi poloi also invaded the place, the rich stepped up and now go abroad for their own shopping.
When jumia, konga, etc first came on stream, they were patronised by mostly the rich, now they prefer sites like amazon, Alibaba, etc where items are priced in dollars and pounds.
All the latest model cars and phones, are being lapped up by Nigerians, first class air ticket seats to UK and Canada, same thing.
Look, forget Nigerians are vain people naturallly.

When the pizza gets to Nigeria

it's already cold

who eats cold pizza?

LordCenturion:
Oga, everyone are guilty of this,although I don't really support that of pizza importation but we Nigerians do crazy things at times just to show off, but the fact still remains that we don't appreciate our own things,this has been happening since our independent,there are two different versions of peak milk,but people love to buy the one that comes from Holland , but both are the same, what about u Mr reno,why are u in abroad,why your children are staying and studying in abroad,don't we have good schools here?, u are also having your medical check up over there, I remember one barrister songs of 1970's/early 80's that my dad use to listen to, where he said
"if a white is cooking rice for sales at higher price,and a black is also cooking the same rice at affordable reasonable price than that of white,even if it better than the white own,we will always go for the white rice"


I have been on Nairaland since 2012,this is the first time am gonna make front page apart from my previous threads that hit front pages several times,and beside March 30(Saturday) is my birthday, please show some love,your likes is a sign of wishing me happy birthday in advance,no member of Nairaland will die young,we will all live long and be a parents, grandparents and great grandparents,even we will rule this country together when this old fool thieves dies because our generation thinks wisely than them, we will rule it together till year 2090 and our wards will grow up to inherits the greatest Nigeria and they will continue the legacy and be proud of us....

we don't have good schools in Nigeria in the real sense of it

BiggyB242:
They are both dangerous but women are more dangerous, they can do anything for this new partner. Once a girl is in love, she can easily be manipulated.

First hand information- a woman killed her NNPC staff husband because her BF told her to do it. Most times the husband live at the mercy of the woman's bf. Married women don't have multiple sex partner if she's cheating but a married man can be sleeping with several girls this is because no emotion is involved and the man can easily cut away.

Married women cannot have multiple sex partners?

who is telling you that?

one big madam I know I'm Zenith bank go just dey laugh you

That woman was a cheerful giver (both in kpomo and Kudi )
I've been away for a while so I have not been hearing the gist


P.S. I did not call name o

yemre:
Some people here are just funny! Or do I say they are just plainly stupid I don't understand. The op put up a very factual and self explanatory article on women's perception about cheating viz a viz men's perception, stating categorically that women mostly cheat when they are emotionally dead to their husbands and as a result lose the love and respect for them and now see that as reason to cheat while most men see sex as more of fun without much of emotional attachments and some people are here arguing about prostitutes who have sex for money!!! Are prostitutes the same as women?
Just that there are too many hypocrites everywhere, no female adult on this platform can say she doesn't understand this post.

To the op, well done because you just said the fact that no one can dispute.

I challenge anybody with enough proof and fact to contest this (not just blind or sentimental argument)

So prostitutes are not women?

this guy must be a fool


this thing is not as clear cut as the Op is putting it

Asimov:
This is a fascinating but controversial subject. It rang true when I read. However, since I’m a man and this seemed to be written from a male point of view, I was interested in hearing from the female point of view or even a neutral view like from science. Any ladies in the house who agree with this view?

I’ve pasted below a scientific study on same topic as well:


Why Men and Women See Infidelity So Differently
Why do some but not all relationships survive infidelity?
Posted Jul 10, 2017

There is a school of thought that says if a woman cheats, it is more likely to signal an end to her primary relationship than if a man cheats. And this may in fact be the case, because men and women tend to think and feel differently about sex and relationships.
Men are generally more likely than women to be able to compartmentalize sex and intimate connections. For many men, sex is sex, and relationships are relationships, and the two do not necessarily overlap. Thus, a man who casually cheats may do so without feeling a significant degree of emotional connection to a mistress, while a woman who cheats could see things differently, with sex and emotional connection intermingled in ways that make compartmentalization more difficult.

Stated another way, when women cheat, there is usually an element of romance, intimacy, connection, or love. Men, on the other hand, are more likely to cheat to satisfy sexual urges, with fewer thoughts of intimacy. Of course, many men cheat because they feel love as well as sexual attraction for an outside partner, but many more don’t: For them, infidelity can be an opportunistic, primarily sexual action that, in their minds, does not affect their primary relationship. In fact, when asked, many such men will report that they’re very happy in their primary relationship, that they love their significant other, that their sex life is great, and that, despite their cheating, they have no intention of ending their primary relationship.
Women are less likely to operate that way. For most women, a sense of relational intimacy is every bit as important as the sex; often more important. As such, women tend to not cheat unless they feel either unhappiness in their primary relationship or an intimate connection with their extracurricular partner — and either could cause a woman to move on from her primary relationship.
Consider the results of a well-known study in which men and women were shown videos of two men having sex and two women having sex. Male test subjects’ responses were highly gender specific: Straight guys were turned on only by the videos of women, and gay men were turned on only by the videos of two men. Meanwhile, two-thirds of the women, regardless of sexual orientation, were aroused by both male and female stimuli — in particular, the videos that displayed or hinted at an emotional and psychological connection. This research is hardly an outlier: Numerous other studies have produced similar results, confirming that, generally speaking, women are attracted to and turned on by emotional intimacy (especially in committed relationships), while men are more turned on by sex acts.

Put another way, male sexual desire tends to be driven by physiological rather than psychological factors. This is why porn sites created for male users feature short scenarios focused on body parts and overt sexual acts and little else. Even porn literature for men tends to focus more on sexual acts than on relationships and feelings.
Not so for women. Open up a romance novel, or tune in to True Blood, the Twilight movies, or other female-oriented romance/erotica, and you’ll see this rather clearly. In such stories, you'll find very little in the way of purely objectified, non-relational sex. Instead, you'll encounter broad-chested, square-jawed, deep-voiced bad boys who melt when they spot the story’s heroine. This is true even of the more overtly sexual Fifty Shades of Grey series, in which a really bad boy meets a really nice girl who knows in her heart that she can find the good in him and make the relationship work.
Men typically do not need to be in love to enjoy sex. In fact, they don’t even need to be in like; they just have to be turned on. Generally, it’s more difficult to get a woman interested in sex because they want a deep voice AND big biceps AND a sense of humor AND a guy who listens AND a desire to have kids and fix up a house together AND a whole bunch of other stuff.

This difference is most likely the product of thousands of years of evolution. Researchers Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam describe this as well as anyone, writing in their book A Billion Wicked Thoughts:
     "When contemplating sex with a man, a woman has to consider the long term. This consideration may not even by conscious, but rather is part of the unconscious software that has evolved to protect women over hundreds of thousands of years. Sex could commit a woman to a substantial, life-altering investment: pregnancy, nursing, and more than a decade of child-raising. These commitments require enormous time, resources, and energy. Sex with the wrong guy could lead to many unpleasant outcomes."
Ogas and Gaddam call this feminine need to thoroughly vet a potential partner’s physical and character traits before becoming both physically and psychologically turned on “Miss Marple,” referencing Agatha’s Christie’s celebrated female detective. They note that this internal safety mechanism is not willing to give cognitive approval for sex until multiple conditions are met. (Of note: Women with histories of sexual trauma tend to not have this self-defense mechanism, and as such, are more likely to engage in casual cheating and to be further victimized as adults.)
Men have less of a need to guard against the dangers of casual sex, so they have not developed this inner detective. They will sometimes cheat just for the sex, even when they are perfectly happy with their primary relationship. This is why a relationship damaged by a man’s infidelity might be more likely to survive after infidelity is uncovered, as opposed to when a woman has cheated. Men can and do cheat on a good relationship, and good relationships are worth saving. Meanwhile, women are more likely to cheat when their primary relationship is not going well, and that type of already-troubled connection might not be worth the pain and effort required to rebuild relationship trust, emotional intimacy, and long-term harmony.


For more about the ingrained emotional and psychological differences between men and women, I recommend John Gray’s book, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. For specific information about overcoming infidelity and healing damaged relationships, I recommend my own book, Out of the Doghouse: A Step-by-Step Relationship-Saving Guide for Men Caught Cheating.
