Am not surprise at all....I still remember vividly the day a man stripped naked and grab a "big man" in palms shopping mall, crying that the man shud pay him his 8month salary....funny enuf, this was a man notorious for patronizing high class oloshos.....

Na their way

wicked men that God will surely punish

Gerrard59:
Truly, the black race has a problem, no point to argue this.

This cannot occur in Asian countries, worse still, Ghana had to go as far as Australia to import coal. Common coal fa! Is that there is no other African nation that supply coal to Ghana instead of Australia? Can Vietnam import palm oil from Nigeria instead of Indonesia? Can Indonesia find it difficult to export the red oil to Vietnam?

It sucks to be a negro.

I tell you

it really sucks to be Negro


so many of our kind cannot use their brains

vioment:
Problem can be traced back to knowledge. We do not have an actual educated populace. Not because naijans are daft or don't l;ike education but the quality has deteriorated so bad, we don't build any part of ship making but we are one of the highest importers and exporters in the world. All of these are caused by FG continuously owing teachers/lecturers; school environment not being conducive to inspire students; cult activities creating insecurity; and incompetent lecturers.

killing the educational sector in Nigeria is the worst sun committed against Nigerians

Lazyreporta:
On the Island of the affluent in Lagos, I rarely hear aircraft buzzing in the sky, except the posh helicopters of the busy rich. The airport and flight noise don’t affect the airspace, it only devalues the land.

The rich pretend to pray, but God is on the Mainland, land on the island is too expensive to build many worship centers.

The Island was not built for Beer. It is the hub of champagne, spirits, and wines. Beer is for the road, an appetizer bottled on the Mainland.

The Mainland is crowded with families. Life on the island has no friends. Everything is cash or ‘waka’. The roads are expensively tolled, the schools are US ‘Dollard’, and a smile might cost some ‘Nairas’.

The Island expands while the Mainland remains the same. Under neon lights, millions of Mainland ‘ants’ trample on the Third Mainland Bridge into the Island of their dreams. Many die on the bridge, many earn a kobo, and many rob the others.
1

The Island goes to the Mainland, only to fly. Life on the mainland has many tribes. Bad roads and traffic jamborees in Enugu suburbs like Ago and Okota would eventually pursue ‘Omo Igbo’ to the East. The smart ones live in Yoruba neighborhoods, like itire, with Chinese constructed drainages. Sharp guys have moved into Surulere, the Governor’s neighborhood and the best place to drink. The number of youths in Festac makes one wonder if they ate their parents for dinner.

Ketu is a gang of Yoruba women hustling to breathe. Ikorodu can be great if it gets a bridge into the island. Yaba is the link between books, Aristos, ‘White House’ and an infamous Psyche ward (Yaba-left).yaba

Sex is on Allen, tax is a joyride at Alausa. Obanikoro is the name of a man on the Island and a place in the Mainland. Everything on the Mainland is made in Ilupeju, Ogba, Isolo, Agidingbi, and Oregun. Agbara is not on the Mainland, it’s in Ogun state, like Mowe and Ibafo.

Everything on the Island is imported from the Mainland ports of Apapa and Tin Can. The sound of Mazamaza and Okokomaiko can cure madness. Homes in Idi-Araba are waiting to collapse, thank God for LUTH; Igbobi’s Orthopedics is not too far away.

There is a Lagos state University campus in every Mainland corner; the main campus and a military cantonment are at Ojo. Musicians from Mushin and Ajegunle have monopolized the sympathy of poverty, while Egbeda and Ikotun get no pity.
If eyes are closed in Agege and Iddo when a train passes, one can pretend to be in Grand Central Station. 3Gbagadans usually pretend to be on the Island, but Oworonshoki can’t get away with such lies. Ogudu GRA insists on being distinct from a conjoined Ojota, while Amuwo-Odofin calls itself Festac Extension.

Iju and Ojodu villages are hyped by estate agents. Ebute-Metta is an old Yoruba phrase: “A place of three shores.” It is a decaying dream of British colonialism and Brazilian architecture.

Most of the residents of Magodo and Omole are Landlords. Maryland is not a saint and Anthony is not a Village. Igando and Ipaja are playing catching up with the state government.

Ikeja is the official capital of Lagos. The State House is on the Island, where the real capital is. Lagos deserves a special status in the constitution.index

On the Island, money has relatives. Ikoyi and Victoria Island are twin sisters, posh from birth and wrinkled with age. Lekki is a distant cousin, taxing and full of fraudulent schemes. VGC and Eleko are wealthy uncles, isolated from others and always overseas. Nicon and Parkview are the pretty nieces with feigned American and British accents. Oniru and Elegushi are the nephews from the village, who recently found wealth and arrogance. Ajah is the Step-sister, giving birth to children she can’t feed. Jakande and Igbo-Efon are broke In-laws, hardworking but always in need. Ibeju-Lekki and Epe are the Jilted aunts, feeding on promises and searching for suitors. Obalende is the lost brother without a mind, thought to be dead. Eko, Idumota, and Marina are Triplets of Royal descents, with trade on their minds, and power between their legs. Maroko is the baby that was aborted at Midterm. Makoko is the dirty bastard that wouldn’t disappear. Eko Atlantic City has recently left the incubator, hoping to survive. Many other siblings are just occupying space and causing traffic jams on the Island of the rich.

This is how I know I’m not on the Island: service attendants begging for money; Lastma officials lurking behind traffic lights; Dunghill switch is everywhere, and I can’t get an Iota of decency.

this is a lovely write up

ambassador9:
OK na , we r watching. but we r really in serious mess with this our breeding ooooo. Africa GOd help us.

it needs to be curbed for our own good

if this trend continue, Nigeria will be in big shit

GavelSlam:
Your lies stink.

You never supported him and your support or lack thereof, is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

Nigeria has never had such a good leader and it is no surprise he's hated by your Ilk.
Those days of having no enterprise yet being a billionaire are over.

Go carve a niche, get a job, and see your future blossom.

Or continue to be like FarahAideed and be nostalgic over the days you could simply front businesses for a civil servant.

did you say NIGERIA has never had a good leader like "Buhari" before? ?


common sense indeed is far from you

Revibe:
Na U.S dey rain now. Their economy is boisterous o! Well awa economy here is dependent on oyel and Trump wants lower oyel prices. Let's watch

their economy is currently on steroids....

but the question is that will they sustain this momentum for the medium term ?

That's the question.

onegentleguy:
Ok, U are about to BENEFIT NOW;
GO AND KEY INTO CAVERTON and AIICO... and HOLD them for the short to mid term.

When u are done with that, use whatever funds u have left to make a choice from any or all 6 of FIDELITY, UNIONDAC, NEWREST ASL, TRANSCORP, UBA, and MAY & BAKER ...for the 1st 3, look out to buy into any price dip in trenches (...so as to achieve a better BEP), and for the last 3, also buy the dip but with a greater % structured into ur trading portfolio.

On WEMA, ACCUMULATE if u can HOLD for the mid term time frame.

U already have ZENITH... HOLD !!
...and keep an EYE on INTERNATIONAL BREWERIES and SEPLAT PETROLUEM.

Sorry for ur losses my dear. ...If only u heed the warnings on DIAMOND !!
But we all learn everyday. ...good thing u CAN and are looking beyond any past mistake.

Regards.

I'm definitely gonna take this to heart

thank you

Pr0cter:
Hello guys. Thanks to you all for enlightening me. I just crafted a MMF investment with Stanbic Ibtc bank and I feel overwhelmed investing because practically it my first investment in life. I'm in my early 20's

Thanks to you all and I'm following this thread bumper to bumper to learn about more investment schemes

you are on the right path my man...

most people your age range are not thinking investment, and I pity them so bad.....


Anyways, learn the ropes, and make smart choices


Success to you!

jpphilips:
So they make 15.67% then remit just 11% to the fund owner, interesting! !

if this is true, then indeed, Nigeria is a den of criminals

I don't want to believe this any ways

because how can you take that margin when your percentage charge is supposed to be 1% ,

Pr0cter:
Hello everyone,

please i'll like to know how long does it take to see your online username and password when you open a MMF account with stanbic ibtc bank. I invested in their MMF on Tuesday and as at now, i haven't gotten my account details and notification of the money invested.

send them a mail and lay your complaint

they will answer you

Mizwisdom:
Hope you've learned one or two things from his post?

I just wanted to ask if he lived in a western country, that's all.
well different people with different perspectives

rinzaugustine:
Okay my brother.Remain blessed

same to you too.

rinzaugustine:
North Carolina.Go on with your question please

you have answered the question already

majekdom2:
Ghana is visa free to SA now but they shut their embassy to Nigerians some weeks ago. The young, middle and old all want to travel out in search of greener pastures. Phewwwww! What a nation!

skilled Labour is fleeing Nigeria in their dtoves

The unskilled are crossing the Sahara in their dtoves

That should tell you that some thing is seriously wrong somewhere in the $hithole..
.

GboyegaD:
Oga, I have lived in Canada over 5years and can tell from 1st hand experience. Let me tell you one thing today which I am sure we all relate with. Many people abroad tell you how hard it is over here and are never willing to go back home. Have you ever wondered if it is that hard truly? If you read through my other comment on his post, you will see where I wrote that even those who graduated from school here pick survivor jobs for survival pending when they get what they want. There are many immigrants who just came and landed good jobs. You might take your time to read the thread on living in Canada as a landed immigrant for better exposure. In essence, going to school here does not translate to better opportunities in all case. As for French, if you are not migrating to Quebec, there is no need to bother.
One last thing though, many of us carry our entitlement mentality from back home here as such, when things seem not to be going our way, we start painting the society bad. Please, do not tell people they are wrong as you can only tell from your perspective.
N.B: Canada isn't there yet compared to the US in terms of equality and job prospects however, we should remember that US is much larger and more of a capitalist system thus, they have less protectionist perspectives.

exactly

The entitlements mentality

when Nigerians realise that the world owes them NOTHING for getting theur degrees/whatever they think is fuelling their ego, life becomes easier for them

Validated:
Do not come to Canada. Remain in Naija ... you have to salvage it

Like you are salvaging it na

a country led by Buhari is what you want to salvage? ??

Curry30:
Honest answer. Relocate with your entire family.
Nigeria is a terrible place to raise kids with the deteriorating moral and socio-economic conditions.

Countries you should look into:

1. Sweden - low crime, good healthcare
2. Netherlands - Multi cultural society
3. Canada - all the good reasons
4. Switzerland - low crime, thriving economy, multicultural society

Pls consult your wife. Nigeria is a NO-NO!

you have a point there


"a terrible place to raise kids"

Laird:
I feel Your kids should go and use the study route or else your wife relocates with them

Canada has only odd jobs for immigrant adults except You go back to canadian University as an adult to spend years and big money to study health care or I.T courses to increase (not guarantee) your chances of getting a middle class job in Canada.

So you make the money here in Naija while your family takes the opportunity there ( abroad). My opinion

I don't see anything wrong in starting with odd jobs tho to build yourself and find your feet tho

ASPIREX:
If I am to relocate where would you advise I relocate to?

The money to relocate shoukd not be a problem provided it is within reasonable bounds. I can raise between 7 - 10 Million (and more) if given 24 months.

your best bet is Canada via express entry sir

that is if you can raise that 7-10m o

Somethings are worth more than money, and your children going to school in a western country gives them a headstart that most Nigerian kids can only dream of. some pseudo patriots here might disagree, but my brother, that is the truth

Think of the future of your kids....

Does Nigeria look Like a country that is going anywhere?

it's just my opinion any ways, but the choice is yours.


check out the express entry thread

rinzaugustine:
My friend once told me jokingly that American movies should also show where people are working in America instead of only glamour.OP if you are actually thinking you are coming here to become rich and even like dangote,then you are a comedian.You work so hard in western world to be able to pay for your living unlike what we have back home.Everything is very expensive,you start life with a demeaning menial job because your degree is not accepted and nobody will give you a dollar.If you borrow student loan to read nursing you will end up not being able to complete the interest alone in the next 20 years.Within a a few years that bubbly,gangly and excited nigerian man in you will die and you will become a carcass of your old self.Nobody wants to listen to your life misery here like in Nigeria...Don't mess up the good opportunity life gave you for the uncertainty of the western world because the grass always looks greener on the other side...which is not the reality

I have a question for you tho....

Do you live in a western country?

chigoizie7:
that guy will soon come to deny ever wanting u

The guy has denied already

merahki:
In other words, you do not know. Not for a fact you don't You and me both need to study as soon as we can Good night also (I "see" you on Africa threads on the travel section)

you see me on African threads
LMAO @" I don't know for a fact too"

I don't need to say much
just do the assignment I gave you, that's all

hahn:
Keep telling yourself that while you sleep in darkness tonight

The joke is on you

OyinO:
When the ones who are exempted are not even up to 2%, then it is logically valid to conclude that ALL OF THEM WILL DO SAME.

The goat you quoted wanted to bring tribalism into the thing

As if the tribe someone comes from determines how the person chooses to behave

Africans with no sense

merahki:
And I remain unenlightened, lol.

okay

have a chit chat with diplomats who worked in Libya, or better still, a fact finding mission will enlighten you more

I need not say more than that

good night

hahn:
Your confusion is obvious. You need help



You are nothing but a fool with access to the internet.

Can you compare what the average brains of people in those countries have achieved as opposed to your garri drinking kinsmen?

Keep supporting nonsense and keep proving to the authorities that we have monkeys on the loose

What rubbish are you talking boy?


yes indeed nutrition has its role to play

but your comment is dumb

What makes them far ahead is FAR MORE than the nutrition.

Or have you not seen many Nigerians from wretched homes who suffered poor nutrition exhibit so much brilliance?

Anyways sha

merahki:
I was not talking about Ghaddafi. You brought him to my post?
Anyway you do not need the media to tell you anything, you study, scholarly hard hitting, evidence-based materials abound, so that one does not "talk" sketchily and scantily, and most importantly be able to inform knowledge needed for development and for posterity.
And you certainly did not see /could not have seen that much I would dare to say. .

About Libya? I am yet to do any studies on that and Ghaddafi, so must admit I know little now. However most literature and media quarters have it that his country fared way much better when he was alive. Your scumbag label feels to me like what you imbibed from foreign media? I could be wrong, if so, enlighten me please. Anyway the beauty of life these days is having the means to study and gain real knowledge and not inhale indoctrination

well Libya had a better standard of living them compared to now and that is a fact

but then, why were Libyan folks always sneaking into Tunisia back in the day?
I remember them very well, especially at the port and on sfax.

The Arab spring swept across the Arab world, why is it just Libya that fell apart
Have you asked yourself that question?

The people were fed up of him, esoecially those from the east.
He should have stepped down, or at least created a system independent of him, but he didn't
The inner circle he thought were his buddies even sold him out

His sins were so so many

Make I no talk much abeg, I don't want to expose myself

lonelydora:
This is small nah. Come to Nigeria and ask policemen who guard IGP's wife what they suffer. Africa don't want to have sense in this 21st century.

Let him prosecute her

Africa is filled with low self esteemed, silly monkeys
why do these animals in Africa like dehumanizing each other

four4:
This are illiterate and tout that are living life of king, while the so called educated are living in poverty. EVERYTHING ABOUT NIGERIA IS JUST UPSIDE-DOWN

LMAO

according to boys on the street, WHO EDUCATION EPP

especially he type of education wide spread in Nigeria that is devoid of critical thinking and problem solving skills?

omoelerin1:
I just needed to rubbish the shameful assertion of that ignoramus.
'How will you be eating these kind of meal and you would not be able to think properly to find solution to universal problems'.

Just imagine that kind of mentality.
Some people's brain needs to be reset.

that one is just a mumu comment

but lets be truthful, nutrition also has its own role to play in bain development
that's the truth

merahki:
I compressed your post to avoid crowding
And will leave you with the words in the bracket-
(Intelligence/ako na uche, the ability to know when and what and how to unlearn/relearn, learn and relearn)
One has to be ready and passionate about this though, and free themselves from mental and intellectual slavery. This is for me and you both, and everybody.
Blessings

aii

I have freed myself from that, and seen gadaffi as the scumbag that he was

I did not need any media to tell me, I saw certain things myself, and interacted with others too.
