If it were to be in Britain, the BBC Reporters would have gotten those ritual kidnappers arrested off the streets to prevent further deaths and without the story ever seeing the light of day. But since it's happening in Africa, the story will make headlines yet they would have left those ritualists alone had the villagers not surrounded them and attempted to catch them.

who told you the story will not see the lufgt of day? ?

MajorJeffery:
Stupid reasoning. Who plot of land in Nigeria epp?

The worst mistake I've made as a Nigerian living in diaspora is having properties in Nigeria and I will never fall for such nonsense again.

a mistake I will not make myself


Apart from portfolio investments that I can dump anytime, no other type of investment is worth it in Nigeria TO ME.

Note : TO ME.

Buying up property will tie you big time.

except you intend living there in future, or you build an apartment complex that will generate cash flow for you, buying a property in Nigeria and leaving it fallow is not such a good idea

phemsie:
Do they have embassy in Cotonou?

What kind of question is this

jookco:
If you are doing fine in Nigeria , no need running to America. The richest Nigerians are in Nigeria. America na for us we no arrange ourselves wells for Nija.

not every thing is about money

JWTheocracy1:
This is Nigeria... Look how we living now. Kudos America! Please close everything in that hole shit.

Tu as dit ça parce que tu es eschappé

Laisse les autres qui veut eschappé

UyiIredia:
Racist. But if land you conquer is yours then blacks can conquer whites and take back their land. Even better since they were there before whites conquered them. Your quote there is silly and can be used to justify colonialism, racism and neo-colonialism.

if the lsnd is taken from you, its no longer yours

It's the natural law. it's just that sentimental black nigg.as like you don't get it

If you were conquered, the land is not yours anymore

That is how the fulani conquered the Hausa kingdoms, ihos the arabs conquered the sudan
it's a global thing


Now that Zimbabwe seized the lsnd from the white folk, it's not theirs anymore, but can Zimbabwe stand what will follow?

If they can hold their own and defend themselves, then the lsnd remains theirs


It's the same with SA

if the govt want to seize the lsnd, no p, but they should be ready for what follows

A man who has territory MUST defend it from all forms of attack

And if SA survived it, then they are good


We have armies for a reason.
to avoid the law of nature /conquest making an example of us.

MartinCorridon:
The more difficult it is to emigrate...the better for us all.

Let people go abroad get quality education and be sent back to develop their home countries (UK especially)

Let us all tackle our problems from within

with millions supporting that nicompoop Buhari for second term, you really think Nigeria will.get better? ?

Abeg I don't want my kids to ever shout "up nepa" in their lives

And Canada /Australia is using tricks to fish our the best brains from here via FSW

Same with other countries

Even Germany is now offering automatic residency after studies; D


With all the best brains leaving (which are not even many)

Is it not fools like OshiomOLE that is left in Nigeria?


forget mayysr abeg

millionboi:
I pity dos ones that can't feel comfortable at home.

fell comfortable like how?

SolutionMee:
Am I the only one that didn't see anything wrong in this Adeosun NYSC certificate saga

After all, what sane Nigerians are clamoring for is optimal performance and good leadership

And she's competent at that

What else did Nigerians want?

Will there be a time we will ever be satisfied and get contented with the kind of leaders we have?

Putin is a dictator

He's far richer than Bill Gate

Yet, Russians aren't complaining about him

Contentment is what we need at the moment and not good leadership

Be contented!

common sense is VERY FAR from you

CeeKay17:
Well I'm yet to see any comfortable babe that's dating a broke dude. Life isn't like what we see in the movies. Even DJ, Cuppy & her sister didn't mistakenly fall in love with some broke dude in their class or church.

I'm not saying the girl agreed to date the guys

But those guys are making attempts big time

According to them, the worst you will get is a rejection, which as men we are used to

flexyrule:
Nigerians!!!
Frustration. Negativity. Rudeness. Arrogance. Very very low IQ.
Just look at the comments - just for a simple question.
If the whole world had this type of mentality, Quora would have been an online IRAQ.

the thing tire me

CeeKay17:
If you were rich & comfortable, you wouldn't be meeting only broke boys. Guys hardly approach a lady that's clearly above their league. If broke boys are approaching you, it's because you're broke as well.

don't say that o

I hear these days, these guys just approach anybody o

the "gold digging" tendency don grip the guys too

so your assertion is not always true

grossintel:
Nigerians are very Negative minded people! Just look at how bitter and wicked nairalanders are! Filled with hate. She asked a simple question, if you feel it's inappropriate why are you raising abuses on her? Just ignore and leave. Nairaland will never be as big as forums like Quora and Steemit because these idiots are killing it. My sister, please Use Facebook. Upload nice pictures of you and search and add a few people leaving in the US. Please add a few else Facebook might block you. After sometime people living in the USA will begin to send you friend requests and chat you up. Just be an open book and don't form to be what you are not because they love easy people. With time you will find someone you like, please ask as many questions as you like including where he works, his age, how much he earns, his marriage history, they don't find such questions offensive like us. But never ask them for money please! Except they offer to help but always say no. If he loves you, he will offer to come here and marry you first. BTW, any one who mentions me to abuse me, Ogun fire you and your generations before you start typing a word

yea

a lot of bitter and negative minded people in that country

Its terrible

and that why the country is a terrible place to live

why not advice her like you will advise your younger sister without all the name calling and curse words.


Quora over nairaland anytime

They are more civil there

93Miles:
Abroad is only good for holidays and shopping. I know 3 persons who have been to US for over 20+yrs now yet they can't boast of a plot of land in Nigeria.

there is more to life than all that

for me, abroad over Nigeria anytime anyday

Simplep:
Cut d lady some slack,its jst an harmless and simple question, she is being curious,dats it
Y are u all attacking d lady,nl nd bad mouth sha

I think they should cut her some slack too

cynthie140:
I'm a young girl in Calabar. Everybody getting married these days mostly marry guys from outside the country. biko where do they meet them?

the truth is that most of the time, the girls who marry these foreign based guys knew those guys before they left for greener pastures

Sometimes it's by family referral, other times it's by connecting with a childhood friend you were close to, before he left abroad, and in other times, he just sees you, likes you and tries his luck

There is no straight forward answer to this question, I just painted real life scenarios on how most of those who marry foreign based people do so, so look for the one that best describe your situation and see how that goes


and by the way, why are a lot of people mad at what.she asked; D

she is an adult and knows what she wants Na;

Live and let live is the motto

hypertension:
Im ashamed i share same country with you. Why can't rule of law be obeyed first and others come later.

These Guyz are just making youth completely stupid. The are freinds when they steal and become enemies during election to decieve us all.

Im not voting anymore. Too many stupid youths in this country at the moment.

I'm ashamed too

to think it's the youth that is even making these comments is baffling


Stupidity in my country is at an all time high

see them
never knew Akokites plenty for here on code

Sapphire86:
'...... really generous to a fault' 'pray to God to lead them to the love of their heart'

Madam, that prayer is sweet when the love of their heart is a billionaire or Alaafin. What happens if the elderly man is a plumber or gateman? Won't binding and casting start?

LMAO

opribo:
Majority of them today so called celebrity actors and actresses and music stars are like that. They came from face me i face you homes.

Its easy to know them, they like to live big and show off. For them life is a contest. They dont take life easy at all its always like they are battling with something. If you ever have any dealings with such children, they will swindle you and call you a mugu. These ones grew up in a struggle to live environment where you can do anything to survive. The end justifices the means kind of environment. If you commit any crime and survive its ok as long as you are not caught.

Unlike children born from elite homes, they take life easy, their upbringing was not in a winner takes it all enviroment. They love and share. They live one day at a time no unnecessary struggle.

You are right tho

zicoraads:
It has never been this terrible. I mean, is Saraki the reason why the country is in a messed up situation right now?!

I was at the headquarters of the Federal Inland Revenue Service for hours yesterday and kept thinking of these online irritants that are always quick to support this Government.

Throughout my stay, I was at the Human Resources room. Guess who and who were coming to conclude the final lap of their documentation? The kids of those who are either related or were formally related to those in power.

Apart from one lady or two, whose surname was not recognizable, almost every name that submitted their form after documentation was a familiar name in political circles.

I know there's an FIRS thread here that stated sometime around 2016, where some people that started that recruitment process have lost hope or are still waiting for word. Those who came to that office yesterday didn't even write any test nor was it advertised as it is supposed to be.

I have known the workings of the FIRS since 2010. I know those who got jobs there with no single person to vouch for them. Another batch got in 2012 and there was still no need to know a political godfather. Now, it's as terrible as anything.

Those who are in CBN will tell you that there are no enough seats for those who were brought in sometime after Buhari's electoral victory. Did anyone call any one of you or your relations?

Same thing happened to the NCC. The DSS was worse.

Or after everything, we should be happy that N-Power was left to us, the masses? What is 30k in today's Nigeria? Does anyone of you know the start-up salaries and allowances of those agencies I mentioned above?

But if we talk about how high nepotism is in this Government, some of you that are not even beneficiaries, but are probably reliant on a paltry 40 or 30k will be ready to insult someone.

Nonsense and ingredients!

no mind Nigerians o

mumu people

The well to do don't jostle for jobs, the political elite are connected and they secure their children's lives

But for the msssrd

resurgent2019:
Please stop painting a good picture of Nigeria. It is a very terrible place and Nigerians are right to complain. I don’t like the sound of arrogance in your comments.

Stop insulting the sensibilities of millions of hard working but suffering Nigerians.

I just dey read him comment dey laugh

Lexusgs430:
Have you visited other countries, to find out the true meaning of provisions of basic needs?

no mind am

whitebeard:
I deal with facts and truth..forget the movies guy

not dealing with movies tho.


I have been privileged to live and visit different countries and cities, and I am in a good position to compare; D

Nigeria is too chaotic to enjoy anything

Where I live presently, I don't have to deal with generator noise, I move freely without fear, I can drive around without Sars labelling me a criminal and extorting me, I also have my peace of mind, and many recreational things I can do.


The little things of life, plus peace of mind is worth more to me than a pile of money in Nigeria living behind high walls and being in constant fear of too many things.


You guys don't know how bad it is till you spend ENOUGH time out there, then returning to Nigeria


Then you will see the difference is as clear as seven up


Now tell me, what things do you "enjoy" being domiciled in Nigeria with a lot of ' money?

djon78:
What is Singapores per capita income and what is Americas own? Do you know the number of poor Americans in there one cities? What about healthcare? While UK had NHS and Europe had good welfare system for there citizens it was Obama who even tried with Obama care which Trump over hauled.

Don't think it's average Nigerians you will come and be playing gimmicks on. We know you guys very well.

Nigerias problem is not having smart leadership that can put the right measures to curb corruption and get the economy on the right path.

well Obama care in its current state is still better than the way it was before Obamacare was passed




America should be ashamed of itself that It cannot guarantee healtjcare to the people like it is done in Europe

whitebeard:
u know little..as u grow up u will know what I mean

$HITHOLE country mentality is what is worrying you

That is all I have to say

otherway:
I can bet my testicles that you are one of the naive fella I refered to. Can you just read your post again and see how naive you are. Negotiate with who?

You must be related to one of the enemies of this nation. Tell your family members that you all have and will fail.

what is this one saying

InvertedHammer:
/ What is your definition of "more opportunity"?
/

help me ask him

whitebeard:
Get out of america if u wanna enjoy ur money..!!!

what and what can you enjoy with your money in Nigeria?

Apart from oppressing unfortunate souls, and having banes of easy virtue, what other sensible thing can you do with money in that $hithole


oh yes!

I know one


Helping the unfortunate with your money, putting a smile on their face and stuff like that


But asides that

I don't see anything

linearity:
I think, the sure way to remove Saraki from being the Senate President is for APC to challenge his emergence as the President in court.

They should force the court to interpret the 2/3rd majority threshold needed to appoint a Senate President, since Saraki did not meet that threshold when he was voted into power, as he only got 55 votes and used a different interpretation of the constitution i.e. 2/3rd majority of a quorum to get elected. The Supreme Court should be forced to render judgment on this.

They will need a good lawyer, to over the overcome the doctrine of collateral estoppel; which in this case is that, ‘having accepted him as their Senate President for years, they are estoppel from challenging his election as illegal’. Judges usually apply this doctrine, and strike cases when there are no constitutional breaches.

The case can be expedited, if the Presidency refer it directly to the Supreme Court in form of asking them to clearly interpret the constitution, which is their job.

The Supreme Court can come out with a ruling within weeks and whichever way the court rules, Saraki will be tossed...ie if the court does not reject or strike the case.

If the court ruled that, you need 2/3rd of active members; then Saraki’s Presidency is invalidated; if they rule that; 2/3rd of quorum members is okay, Saraki’s Presidency is validated...but it means that, all APC need to remove him from office is 2/3rd of quorum members, which is like 2/3rd of 1/3 of members.

look at this one?


"the supreme court should be forced"

in other words compromise the autonomy of the supreme court in order to achieve your foolish aims


Wisdom is lacking in this country unfortunately.


let us even assume that your silly plan works


You really think the house can have only 36 apc members in the house to pull the plug on saraki?

Without even 10 to 15 Pdp members in the house?

Even within the apc ranks, not all will vote to boot saraki out.


And let us assume that thr stupid plan works, it also means that Buhari can be pushed out of office with 2/3 of the quorum in the both houses (36 and 120 respectively)


You guysshould use your brains

otherway:
We already knew this the day Saraki scheme his way into the Senate presidency seat and he worked tenaciously to rubbish the good motive of PMB.

But unfortunately many foolish Nigerians never saw this but are always quick to blame PMB especially the indomie and shakushaku generations who are so dumb and naive

You no get sense


I repeat; you no get sense

Buhari has majority members in the house from his party in both houses

He can always negotiate his bills with the legislature to reach a COMPROMISE (the way Obama, trump and other leaders of sensible countries do)

But because your sai baba is dumb and stupid, he cannot achieve Any thing sensible

Blessed200016:
remember ,all those whitemen live on credit cards

What kind of talk is this bikonu


get this straight



Whether you are ultra rich, rich, middle class or broke in the West (especially USA) You can't do without a credit score

(or let me say your life will not be that smooth without a credit score)

That is why they have to use a credit card
to boost and maintain their score

so not every one using credit card can not afford to pay cash down payment.
