Jobless Instagram creeps. These pics are even a bunch of Chioma's best.

Nigerians are such disgusting hypocrites. I don't know her and she doesn't know me, but if Davido was some ordinary dude, who would hate on Chioma so much? So he doesn't have the right to have a girlfriend and show off her again abi?

Most of her haters are just jealous jobless girls. Women have been dragging each other down since the stone age. Would they have refused Davido if he had come for them?

his is suppose to be confidential .....too bad ...u can be sued

Hotfreezer:
If you are suffering from short memory, Yorubas aren't suffering from it.

We remember what Obi said about Yorubas. We remember how he derided Yorubas and spoke of us like lepers.

We remember how he called Lagos no man's land.

We remember the insults on Yorubas in the ACN and the insults on Awolowo's legacy.

Yorubas would treat would Obi exactly how he treated Yorubas.

@Bolded, no where is safe in this world. Last two weeks, a boy named Timothy oyebola was killed by bullet in NYC when I was on vacations. This will not be on their news. Also, like 4 to 5 girls are missing in the same NYC.

@OP, please follow your mind. I have been to most part of these countries and the standard of living is good but if you have good thing you are doing in Nigeria I don’t see any reason for you to relocate.

To anyone that care to listen:
Nigeria is not a shithole. If you call Nigeria a shithole so shall it be for you and the rest of your family still living in the country. Stop the negativity. Our leaders are bad!!! we all know that but your negativity would not heal the country either.

I said it that this retard called nnamdi Kanu reemerged to play the APC script.

He was well paid to disappear otherwise how does one escape from military and not police detention?

Thats y i love watching CIA, FBI and terrorist films cos all this government gimmicks you see it there LIFE!!!

Watching JACK RYAN by tom Clancy so if u a fan of FBI movies, go watch it...

BTW, not a fan of nnamdi kanu, not a fan of biafra, not a fan of IPOB cos all of this movements are for selfish interests! So if nnamdi kanu stands against Atiku, i will be on the opposite and stand with atiku! And pls note i am proud igbo boy!

Finally, just to say thanks for the likes...i clocked 1000likes dis morning. Issa milestone aint it?

Just don't try that in nigeria. Because if they don't use share reconstruction, rights issue, and other tools to bring down the price, it will be a case of one greedy/incompetent management team using the company to japaul riches to himself. That is, if one sanusi/emefieled regulator does not polarize it. Ask pple who bought constain at N85, Daar Coms at 15, Intercontinental at 45, Oando @ 65, FO @ 360, Skye @ N5, FBNH @ 70, Oceanic, bank PHB, Springbank, Afribank, etc etc They will tell u how not to do long term in nigeria.

abbyode:
If you understand what standard of living is, you will not think twice before you relocate to Canada. Leaving out poverty mentality aside, N7M per annum is not a big deal. More importantly, the best investment you can give your kids is a world class education. My two cents, pack your bags and move to Canada.

BestDude:
bros, there is more to life than money... Your sanity and longevity is being threatened in Nigeria by the second.

I am business minded. I love to make money and I have a project I am on now that can put over 100M in bank if all indices are aligned but there is more to life than money.

I will advice you take little steps to travel outside Nigeria, starting with some good progressive African countries and you will see we have a long way to go.

There is more to life than money bro.

Jabo1000:
You have said it all like I said, it’s not all about the goodies. It’s just like asking old parent to come and live abroad, no matter the amenities it will be like a dungeon.

Believe33:
I wanted not to comment in this topic but reading how desperate people are in travelling overseas have reversed my initial decision. I will not advice OP but will like him/her to make decision relating to himself. Before you intend to consider abandoning your 7million job to relocate to Canada, there are many things you need to consider. Remember, many people have moved to overseas and returned back. Check our politicians, lecturers, Oil workers etc. They have all lived overseas and moved back to stay in Nigeria. So it boils down to what you as a person like. Earning 7 million annually in Nigeria, you are considered a rich man not average. What type of life do you want to live. Over there, social life is limited, your problem belongs to you and your family, hardly see who to talk with, boring, Nigerians calling you every minutes to send money whether you have it or not, even when you are begging for money, they don't care. Even if you are sick in the hospital, that is not their business, you must send money, even those who know you or not will ask for money. Your profession become useless over there, you have to start from scratch and might end up changing career. What type of family do you have, hope your wife will like to move back to Nigeria as most of the women like it overseas because both of you will share duties. Remember, no house help, and you cannot leave your kids alone in the house, either you or your wife have to stay behind until some certain age, or they are in school and you got to drop and bring them back, depending on the type of job you do. You cant start making money immediately, you got to be a gradual process. I hope you are ready to allow you kids remain in Canada for their entire life as they are not returning any more to live in Nigeria. So it is lies on you and what you want. Every thing is not about money. The most important thing is what will make you and your family happy. I have a lot of people who are not interested travelling to live overseas, so you will not say that they are stupid, that's the type of life they want and will not condemn some one because they want to live overseas. Make more enquiries before you make a move, you can equally visit for couple of weeks without resigning from you work so as to gather more information and witness the environment as well. Good luck with your findings.

I'M A LIL BIT ANGRY(MY FRUSTATIONS)

My Parents worked so hard to raise us well and to give us the best in Life. I used to imagine and wish having my own house and 5 cars parked in my compund( EOD, EVIL SPIRIT, MUSCLE, PENCIL AND VENZA each one serving different purposes), I used to tell my friends rushing abroad that "I will stay in this Nigeria and make it big time"..

Jan to Aug 20xx is the day i can never forget, it was during my nysc and infact I have never experienced that kind of sufferness in my life. my friend and I wld buy 6 groundnuts and 1 sugar to drink garri everyday to the extent I became a well know customer there. Along the line Mr A and Mr B came to my rescue.

They housed me, fed me for free(they saved me from sufferness) and treated me like their own blood. As time goes by, I realised my WISH and IMAGINATIONS are washing down the drain and that was why i took a step of faith in seeking for greener pastures.

Sept 20xx, I saw little money after my first Visa denial and I was telling my friend that I will stay in Nigeria and make it in life(Of course I was fooling myself), My Parents are retired and inturn looking up to us(their life investment) but I myself was looking onto God.

Jan 2 20xx, I left Nigeria and some people on fbk messenger will be asking me when am I coming home all the time? My question is HOME TO DO WHAT? I have known people that has spent over 5 year in America that never came home to settle down, You are saying me should come back home.

I lived in a small town and Just moved to Chicago. Chicago wey Obesere dey use sing back in those days wey i dey always dream of, I never spend up to 30 days here feeling the real america and pple are saying I should come home. Do they have something for me at home or just acting like my Village people?

America that I stepped my foot on rekindle my hope that my wish CAN still come true and it WILL come true. America has changed my thinking and it still changing my thoughts to "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE".With God all things are possible.

I used to pass through O'Hare Airport and admire those airplanes A380 and 747 but i have never once imagine myself in that plane coming to Nigeria. My real Nigeria is in America. America even without $1, I get hope i will eat 3 meal a day, something I can never guarantee in Nigeria without money, America that has made me realised I can be whatever I can be without cutting corners. A day job in America is some people 2 months salary in Nigeria


My answer to you people asking me when am I coming home is simple. I and Nigeria are like parallel lines(for now). I ain't coming nowhere. I have endured sufferness in Nigeria, when it gets better, I will only come and reap the sweetness and come back here again. I HAVE SUFFERED ENOUGH IN NIGERIA.. Tell your leaders to fix up Nigeria. I even sleep in a house without burglary proof without any fear.

I am full blooded Nigerian but God Bless America.

Apologies to people living in Nigeria but I gave up on Nigeria loong time ago.

Thanks to my american wife that took me out on Nigeria

Signed

rinzaugustine:
Most Americans will never do those kind of jobs for those wages.Deporting them means that employers will be forced to raise wages to like 14-15$ per hour for Americans to do such hard job and the end result is prices of everything going up and if the market is not strong enough to contain the high prices,another inflation might hit this country.If that happens[God forbid]the prices of shares will crash,people will default and loose their mortgages and the rich men will buy up everything from the poor so that when people vote in democrats again and economy improves ,those men must have made a whole lot of money in profit.That's one of the ways people become rich in this country

banmee:
This is why i say if you can afford to leave Nigeria please do so before it is too late. If you say you are rich in Nigeria and are enjoying, you are only lying to yourself. I don't know what you are enjoying in a country where there is no security or basic amenities. Na wa for una.

error4040:
mhn BJ you get luck o, I mean (Guy M) informing you about the payment issue taking 30days.
while here in my country some Governors are owing men their Hard earn money for like 6months, For Godsake who does that ??.
I Give Up on Naija.

Go to school and learn comprehension. Again.

He launched in Lagos, is that not enough ?
How many times have you seen white people go outside their countries to launch books ? This is just an inferiority complex at work.

NwaAmaikpe:


Oga just sell your book. Africa's narrative can never be changed.

Taofeekdboy:
Hey, I believe everyone is opinionated and this is uncalled for, so let’s respect each other opinions and talk like adults.

Negotiate:
It’s relatively true.

The causative effect of intels alone led to the birth of other companies that feed off intels.

Also do consider that certain forms of employment include temporary employment opportunities.

Me wey dey hustle for street, in the cause of certain projects I’ve employed over 100 persons at different times or temporary basis, talk more of Atiku.

The ripple effect of one of his projects could involve several teams who will adopt and employ idle hands both on a long term and short term basis.

Note, he did not say

I have employed 50000 persons.

He said

His projects have generated over 50k jobs.

If you even know Spyder88 on Nairaland’s housing section, he has employed thousands of hands on various building projects.

That’s the ripple effect of simple decisions.

NwaAmaikpe:



Did Buhari lie about taking a loan to buy his Presidential nomination form?

Taofeekdboy:
I The problem with Nigerians, criticical sense of judgement. Not all of us have the privilege of having capital to establish our ideas but when you are determined to make it happen, you source for capital and add value to yourself, then you can help your society.ere is no better future for my kids other than working hard, showing them how to give back to the society. Talking about Indians and co, mostly Indians are economic migrants, they migrate to another country, establish their business, improve the economy of host countries but same can’t be said about Nigerians. Indians, Lebanese and Chinese are trooping in to Nigeria to establish their various businesses here, I know that Nigeria situation is not that good but few of those people that is making it outside the country are not helping the situation also, coming back home to lavish money on frivolities, showing off, not to give back to the community. We hate to hear the truth even people outside the country doing drugs, scams and all sort are not left out, they can help their communities, at least their people will know they doing bad thing in a right way i.e Pablo Escobar until he became a terrorist.

muystoy:
The brain dead vegetable is an example of what a local government Chairman should not even be ,I have a lawyer friend who works at the presidency, he used to tell us that if you are having a conversation with buhari and he got interrupted by even an ordinary phone call or something else, by the time he gets back to you, he would have forgotten what it was you were discussing, you would have to start again from beginning

Mcslize:
It all depends on what you what from life. But to me, Nigeria can't offer the peace of mind and happiness I need in life. I don't know of others.

Mcslize:
Nigeria is messed up big time. No amount of money will give peace of mind here. If you've ever travelled out , you will shed tears for Nigeria and asked if Nigeria has been cursed.

aworldcitizen:
Lol, 7m is small money if you are in Lagos with kids.

You will be living an average life and won't be able to go on vacation, ride brand new car, stay in nice beautiful serviced estates. Your kids will attend average school.

Someone earning minimum wage in Canada can afford all the listed above.

My brother aabeg move to Canada for your kids.

awa:
...And this is the same Canada many Nigerians want to take their children to grow up?? May God help us all

hucienda:
That Crown Prince had better watch it and calm down a bit.

He's young but appears ruthless and intoxicated with power - and he ain't even king yet.

planetx:
I have a family member who just relocated to Canada with her husband, she was really disappointed and her high expectations was dashed.

IbrahimDamola:
If you want to have a clean slate and to stop being insulted by other countries, divide nigeria, and start afresh in your respective countries. The shithole has a battered image already.

emkz:
The same way I won a fellowship to go to a Canadian university for a month; the second visa application was rejected for doing what was recommended for the first visa rejection. Of course I sent them a letter to bare my mind. Mind you, they would never give me a visa again. Citizens from certain countries are not valued, it is sad that Nigeria falls in this category. Visa rejections for academic purposes are unjustifiable and should be unacceptable. I am sorry bro, you may need to defer your admission and request your university handles the visa application as a mediator. It works in the Netherlands, just find out if it may be possible for Australia.

plainol:
This same scenario might play out in Nigeria if the Togolese and Cotonous continue to spoil work for artisans in Nigeria. These foreigners have rendered productive Nigerians useless because of their lack of negotiation.

Most of them are so dump that they can call a work of #500,000.00, #200,000.00.

The greedy engineer and work owner havivg noticed the Togolese and Cotonous stupidity will quickly fest on them thereby exposing hardworking Nigerians to ridicule of price slash
