IN Europe polygamy is illegal . Afterr some time a mariage loses its spark and in our society that is managed by the institution of polygamy. A man is tired of his old wife and marries aa second wife without divoring the first but in all practical ways they are divorced: They no longer live together or have intimate physical relationships and the only bind is children if they have any together. If Abramovich was Nigerian he probably would not have divorece but just married another woman and settled the old wife financially without "divorce". There are hundreds of "divorced" Nigerians who never formalize their reality "because of the children"

Yea

You have a point

enemyofprogress:
what do you mean?they denied me too and I'm reacher than the guy

I had a good laugh after reading this

This is generic

nnamdiokere45:
Funny country.
You deny the poor visa to ur country, we understand but denying a billionaire and an investor the chance of visa renewal is absolute nonsense

That is why them better pass us


Not everything is about money

Principles also count

According to the article, he has to show the origins of his wealth too
And considering the diplomatic row between London and Moscow, that's another factor


If it's unscrupulous Africa, he will not be going through this at all. He for don get im visa

einsteine:
When have they ever invested the money in the country?

No mind the guy

All they do is splurge and splurge.

If the "loot" was put to good use, the country COULD have been a bit better

But they don't, so to hell with them

TheEnforcer:
Ugosample,I believe you are in the us,even a citizen?

I don't live in the USA

I am a nomad who stays in different places

travelland:
I am shocked, I used to think you recide somewhere in a European or developed country. You must be a very young person to hype Ghana this way, so it's Ghana that makes you feel so much better than an average Nigerian?. This is the last time I will quote you, smh

just so you know....

cocody is NOT in Ghana.

JWTheocracy1:
I don't understand what you mean by "to make it in Nigeria" bro. People like you are those who believe that life is all about Money. Have you considered your health, the environment, your happiness and your safety ? That's what proves you're wise and want the best for yourself. This life is not all about Money.
That's why people like you have decided to be patriotic no matter how bad things have gone wrong in Nigeria as long as they are getting the money. You're still too far from reality of life.

exactly

i thank God for the background i come from, but to me life is beyond money.

Heck! I come from an igbo family and we are doin well, Nigeria is a good place to "make money" if u have the mind

But that is it.Quality of life is lower in a way in Nigeria because of the prevailing circumstances.

I will rather remain in cocody than live in IKoyi.

feelgoodstuffs:
You're right cos 10litres of petrol here convert to Naira is almost N4000.

but if you take tro tro you might not ever need to buy fuel in ghana because you are not running generator

Chriswazo:
Low mentality How?
So asking questions to know what is obtainable in a place one has not been before is *low mentality* oga watch your life

i did not accuse you of quick money.The ones obsessed with quick money know themselves.

Olumyco:
Bros you are funny ooo.

Any country you get to try and understand the purchasing power of their currency before coming into conclusion.

Naira has more value than Cedis.

1 Cedis = 80 naira

Now let me tell you this 1 cedis will buy 5 Sachets of pure water while 80 naira will buy 8 Sachets of pure water. This is just a very basic down to ground example.



See most of us here dont understand a lot of things. What most of other countries have are electricity, Security and good road. But when it comes to survival especially in terms of cost of living and economy... it is a different case. I advice all the tins the experienced pple have been saying here lets keep them very well and lets make our research very well before taking any decision.
Guys have been talking about skills... make sure the skill is in high demand in the country you are relocating to... and know that its not going to be easy at first but perseverance will help you get there.

Finally, many of us bashing Nigeria dont need to... see it is until you get out that you will understand how great Nigeria is. Its very easy for people to criticize, condemn because of their situations but lets be realistic with ourselves... there is no condition that is permanent.. its just a function of the mind. If you believe you will make it in Nigeria and work towards it you will surely make it. And if you wish to get out and hustle outside the country pls do your research very well so as not to worsen your situation.

Thanks

I actually live six months out of Nigeria So I perfectly know what I'm saying


You have a point tho

akashi01:
..to settle and succeed in Nigeria take how long please?

please help me ask.


Though she has a point tho

for that very minority who "seem" to be doing well, it may not be a very good choice to start over, especially if you are middle aged

But hey, if you are a young person in your 20s you better leave before something such as marriage id kids tie you to this jungle.

onatisi:
Naija is a funny place ,things are cheap but yet ppl don't have the money to buy them because it is hard to make money.
Outside naija ,things are costly and expensive but yet many people find it very affordable to buy and get despite the fact that they are expensive compared to the naija settings. No wonder many nigerians quickily rise in life or their careers when they leave Nigeria . Because they realise that the opportunities which would have cost them little money in Nigeria and yet which they couldn't afford is now made affordable and available to them even though at a higher cost.

Things are not cheaper in Nigeria and more expensive out there per se
Nigeria just has a useless currency, that is why it seems that things are expensive for Nigerians out there

I mean back then, when one cedi was like 50 naira, it was not too bad

now that the naira fell too bad that at some point one cedi was 120 naira, in 2016 things were now very expensive

now it has receded to 80 something naira but it's still a bit too high


I knew a maid in Abomey who makes 40000 CFA a mibrh, if you see the way she loves eh, lol you go open mouth.

Someone earning the equivalent here in Nigeria cannot love such life.

seguno2:
Are they not people whom we know as family and friends?
Did we not allow them to be our leaders and remain our leaders?
What are those of us who are not wicked and who know what is right doing to get better leaders?

I really like you because you seem to be a very intelligent man

But let me tell you the tragedy of that country

Nigeria practices democracy, which is the worst system for Nigeria's peculiar case, and I'll you why.



Every NIGERIAN above the 18 year mark has ONE VOTE.

You have one, the almajiri has one the pepper seller has one, the agbero on the street has one

Those of us who understand the need to vote in good leaders are in the minority, or those of us who can put things into perspective.

On the other hand, the dumb foolish and ignorant Nigerians who will vote based on ethnic or religious sentiments, or swayed by 2000 to sell their vote are in the large majority

From the almajiri in the north, to wanna be militants in the south, to the Ipob members in the East and the Agbero thugs in the West.

And to compound the tragedy, this category of Nigerians are much more, and participate in the process more

The ones who know are in the minority and many of them in that bracket are not even ready to participate in the process.


That is why no matter what, if you don't appeal to the majority, illiterate and dumb electorate, nothing for you.
Look at the rallies, a glorified carnival, that is what appeaks to that class of Nigerians

so if a good candidate comes out with a good plan and roadmap, coming from the "wrong part of the country" or practising the "wrong religion" is enough to disqualify you, among that useless bracket of Nigerians

And this happens at all levels of government

When you talk of your plans, the vast majority do t even understand because they are too dumb to, all they want is rice in exchange for votes.

And you really think the country can get better ?

You all are tripping.

Mizwisdom:
This was not what you said before, you're only sounding reasonable after I called you out

I join you in praying that you can fully cut ties with Nigeria, I don't see how losing you as a citizen will affect us in any reasonable way. Adios amigos!

Yea

I won't want a country like Nigeria to miss me.
I'm just one citizen (or soon to be former citizen) who wants to live his life free from the repugnant society that shithole has to offer it's unfortunate citizens


Enjoy yourself o

onatisi:
The bitter truth is this
If you are skilled , talented , ambitious , intelligent, brilliant and educated. And added to this if you are between the ages of 24-45yrs old. And you are earning 70k per month in Nigeria with no additional source of income coming in and still living in Nigeria with the mindset that Nigeria will get better then Then I am very sorry to say this but you are living a wasted life . The truth is very very bitter but at times we just need to say it as it is

Well, it's their choice to live a wasted life I

Let's leave them

When I'm in Ghana, I can walk about freely in Cape coast and most parts of Accra even at 1 am.
police in plain clothes accosted me and we're polite and professional, they noticed I was a new face in the TV Africa/SSNIT axis (onatisi you should know that angle na) and wanted to know what I was up to
once that was clear, I left without losing anythihg
Will SARS or Nigerian police treat you in such manner


When I'm in CIV, even a place like carrefou koweit that may seem dangerous, there are street lights at every corner and security
All you need to do is ti raise alarm

What even shocked me the most is that during the election in 2016, it was done the exact way it is done in America.
no soldiers every where, no public holiday, just goto your polling unit when you are free withinthe day and cast your vote.
And when the result was announced (the incumbent lost) there was no shout if going to tribunal or the other rubbish that happened in Nigeria

And someone will tell me Nigeria is not a CURSED LAND

Not to talk of deux plateau or Cocody, that you will see so many beautiful homes without the repugnant noise, or the overhead ugly tanks


Nigeria will take decades to repair.

travelland:
What is the main aim of this ridiculous statement? For example, if I want to leave Nigeria for Ethiopia, explain how it will better my life

take it however

But leaving Nigeria to another stable country as an asset is alwaya the better bet.

When my transfer is done, I'm cutting ties permanently

Fitbillionairep:
Na your type we dey burn

LMAO

You want to burn me

When I call the gerdames on you, and they beat the fvck out of your Benin skull, your eye go clear


You think it's every country you can exhibit that repugnant and jaga jaga behaviour

Come and try it here and you will know "pourquoi les gerdames sont méchant"

Pute like you

greenprince:
Bro, I'm not debating that. I had my fair share of injustice before I left.
What I mean is he should at least have something to show of his own before leaving... a small business he could run, a skill he's expertly good in, a decent degree, anything.

Nobody will give you visa when they sense you're most likely going there to wash plate.

If an opportunity shows up now, he doesn't seem prepared to cash in on it.

You have a point

danie09:
I get you .but my point is it's almost impossible to generalise camerounians cos its the only bilingual country I know in Africa (I mean where a certain percentage of the population speaks a particular official language and the other speaks another )but what I realised is that the anglos and francos are two different kind of humans entirely. While the French are more friendlier and honest to a fault most of English guys have this too wise too sharp attitude and approach to things .

exactly

and that is what is keeping them down.

That their mumu behaviour

One of them wanted to olayba fast one on me


And I was like

I'm from naija

fast ones don't work on us

ipledge10:
The boldes is what makes me mad the most. The Chinese know there is potential in Africa and they taking advantage while Africans are looking for government job

yh yh

danie09:
Camerounians ? Are you referring to the Anglophones or the Francophones? Cos I lived there for about 2years and I stayed and had business dealings in both Anglo and francophone regions and can testify that most of the French guys are completely honest and trustworthy and for the anglophones the attitude of a fair percentage of them seem to have been poisoned by their fellow English speaking neighbours accros the border

it's not issue of poisoning


its the way they are.



if that is the case, who then poisoned Nigerians?

Do you know that as at 2015, they were kidnappings in Cameroon, don't know whether it still happens


But hey, nobody hears about that? But once it's Nigeria, everybody will want to hear and "put mouth"

greenprince:
Haha... is that your plan? Sounds more like imprisoning yourself and selling your happiness. European girls don tear eye now oh...

And just so you know, I'm speaking from experience, running my degree in Europe so broda... leave that thing, start somewhere and build yourself... success will find you in the end.

start where

Leaving Nigeria is always a better bet


Too much criminality under one roof in Nigeria

Pavore9:
So many Yahoo boys in Kenya! Some are here under the guise of studying, collect Student Pass (visa) use am they run show thus the reason the Nigerian High Commission in Nairobi is on their necks as a good number of them will delay in graduating so as to continue renewing their student visas which offers them so many coded opportunities.

it's a big shame what these boys are doing


I don't associate with criminals from Nigeria when abroad, and id gladly connive with the authorities to implicate and jail them if the need be


Bastard children without values or home training ruining our reputation

yungchivvy:
Am thinking of Ghana... I wish to have a bakery there

not a bad idea at alk

Homeboiy:
African countries like Kenya abi
Yahoo boys from Benin city is taking over the city
7boys just left Benin to Kenya last week all in the name of yahoo
About 12 went to Ghana same last week

See the mofos giving Nigeria bad name
money worship in Edo state have driven many of them out of their senses smh
Sadly it's the same across the country, but worse in Edo and delta States

sunboy:
I lived in Porto Novo and Igolo that Ouima Platue province. I can say they are very good places for start ups. 98% power supply, water and security are not neglected. Life is good, everybody going about their business

What surprises me the most about may beninois is their simplicity and the fact that they are not criminally inclined to the degree Nigerians and Cameroonians are (heck I don't even know who is worse among the two)

The fences are not gigantic

Gerdames to enforce law and order


Nigerians need to change

ekems2017:
My younger brother left for Gambia last year. In less than three months, he got a teaching job. His pay in Nigerian currency is 56k then if you add the home studies he conducts he is earning more than 100k as a nursery school teacher.
His elder brother joined him this year and also got a teaching job last month.
He regreted wasting three yrs in Nigeria after his Nysc without a job .
The good part of it is that the country is sponsoring who ever want to go for Masters outside and still comes back to work for them.

Nigeria my country has a long way to go Allah.

Almost everyone I know in Ghana is gainfulky engaged

Nigeria na another thing

fisfat:
Igbo is everywhere

This one is so true

Igbos and Yoruba everywhere I go.


Though some of them are up to no good, it's always a pleasure meeting my country men out there

gidzbobby:
i meant, he spends more time abi vacation here in Nigeria than senegal

not true o

This guy is in Senegal A LOT OF TIMES

He has projects he runs there, and he feels more at home in Senegal than in the USA.

gidzbobby:
Even when someone is not enjoying this country, Akon will just be making someone feel like foreigner in their own country sef.

LMAO

You mean?

reminiscing:
Thanks dear.

Id advise you use ABC transport. their terminal is in amuwo odofin, Lagos

You can budget like say 80k total for a 5 day trip, depending on your style.
The 80k is transport plus accommodation plus feeding
