and their kinsmen are fighting Here on nairaland calling them self demeaning name.

no wonder one person say na jobless miscreant dey follow nnamdi KANU about.

person wey get focus and work no get time for nonsense, its anger and displeasure begins and end on internet.

You have a point

bbbabes:
Rich men boarding economy class and that rag called Bobrisky wasting his prostitution cash on 1st class

Zico5:
Yes proudly yoruba. We are not like them that wake their parents in the morning with kicks.

See another mumu

MasterChen:
Nice. Omoluabi style

Fun fact: There is a part of Nigeria where the people there wake their elders up with sliding tackle

A lot of pigs in that region as well

E no go better for the maggots wey chop your brain.
Common sense you don't have

MyNewJackeT:
First of all I don't support them I don't also support fake news that people try to propagate against them, for example if they don't know how serious the issues in the country.

Secondly no one believes in their pastors when they are fake, you already know the people who do that, the people who kneel or bow to their pastors or call their pastors daddy when Jesus himself said we shouldn't do that because we are one in this struggle.

But lest go back to the point you raised.

Kanu is a British citizen, his health was deteriorating, are you saying the British didn't have a hand in his release, I believe they put pressure on the Nigerian government because you can't just detain a British citizen like that, without him not committing a crime.

About lying his way out of prison do you think they don't have doctors in prison to check or is it hard to take a doctor to his prison bed to check him when he was sick?

The British had nothing to do with this.

That's the problem of dual nationality


If you are in trouble in one of the countries in which you hold citizenship, the other one cannot save you.
So the British can't do anything because he is accused of committing treason against Nigeria, a country in which he also holds citizenship

vinlinks:
This politicians are wasting their money knowing fully well that Anambra people will boycott this coming gubernatorial election.

Anyway I wish him luck.

I doubt it.

People are registering to vote in their hundreds of thousands in Anambra state

sparkle2k3:
Please is there still a visa requirement for Nigerians going to Ghana? I plan to go next week.
Response needed please. Thanks

Nope
just go with your passport.
And you will be stamped

cutieme:
what really do u miss about ghana bro?And how is the place compared to abidjan?

Well, Abidjan of course have better infrastructures and more electrified streets than Accra, but still, Accra still has that unique charm as well.

Tho I hate the fact that Gh is expensive

ireneidiva:
These are simple requirements na. Why the anger?

Help me ask him o

So places to visit....

In Lomé for example, the night life is okay and stuff there seems affordable, but in terms of fun things to do, nothing much , you could just hang out by the beach, or go to their fetish market to look at some mystical stuff there.
The city is quite small so you can go round it in a day sef

For Cotonou...Let me see...
The night life is electrifying there, certainly bigger than Lome and have more fun things to do, however many of the tourist sites are not In Cotonou proper, but Ouidah, ganvie and Porto novo (which are all in close proximity to each other)
So if you guys can find your way, you can visit the temple of pythons and the historical slave museum both in Ouidah, also in Ouidah is the place of no return, where slaves were passed through and Never came home, there is a monument there, and I also advise you take the journey to that plave on foot, so you have the feel of passing the same route that millions of slaves passed through before they left Africa for good.
Ganvie is floating on water so you guys will go round that place in canoe. You will love that too.


For Accra (Ghana) it is a bigger country than the first two I listed up there combined; So the commute between Accra and another city ( like say Kumasi or Cape coast) will be longer, so what I'll advise here is to just stick to Accra and cape coast.
In Cape coast, you will go to Kakum Natural park or so, it's a Chilling spot, and in addition, you get to do the canopy walk.
Also in Cape Coast you will see the slave castle (Elmina ) and other old buildings of more than 400 years old.
The beach is okay too

Then Accra, you go to the independence square, you will see some tourism stuff there. You can also go to Bojo beach, but the thing is that you have to take a boat to get to that beach, and that beach is cool.
You can also go to the mall, and even hang out in Osu at night

But remember, Ghana is expensive o, jiri nwayoo maka ego
Use an Uber taxi in Ghana too, it's cheaper, because you will be charged based on the distance and the time it took you to get there (I guess) But don't use uber inrush hour in Ghana o

You will SUFFER




Then Abidjan.....
Well, over there you can visit the beach, take a tour round the city, go to the zoo, enjoy the nightlife etc
You can even take a bateaux bus for the experience, going from one part of the city to the other on the lagoon, that one was so much fun for me, and its even cheap.
The main tourist attraction in Ivory coast is in Yamaousoukro. The biggest church building in the world (you can Google it)
That place and that city is very fine, and it is just like 2 hours away, so its a trip you can go and come back the same day,

Let me get back to work guys


I'll talk about suggestions on how to transport yourself between these countries later on.

Take care

kagari:
250000 sir, 4 countries asides Nigeria. Depending on agreement we can do a close-up tour in Lagos.

With 250k, you will be fine, and less constrained too.

In addition, an extra advantage you will get is that three out of the four countries (Benin, Togo and Ivory Coast) use the same currency, so you can change most of your money to CFA and you will be fine.

only Ghana use something different (cedis)

I must warn you tho, Ghana is an expensive place from the eyes of a Nigerian (especially in Accra) so get ready for that, as their currency is higher than ours (1 cedi to N90 +) and some of their stuff are overpriced.

kagari:
Bro thanks, been following your west African comments.

Yea this is a planing stage, and I would appreciate your comments very much. Do you know places to visit in Cotonou and Abidjan. Do you still stay in Abidjan?

Well, I hop in and hop out there days.
I don't have a permanent "base" in the interim....
But Abidjan has a special place in my heart.

NovusHomo:
Yes, I get you. You just proved my point. Thanks, man.

LMAO

As an experienced traveller here (pardon me for "bragging" , I can be of assistance to you.

I have one backpacked all the way to almost the Emd of west Africa, so take this as advice from my own personal experience.

Now you said you want a road trip, that is ok and cheaper, because flight rates have gone up (the last time I did LOS-ABJ, I paid almost 150k)

I hope you have an international passport, as this will make this trip easier for you.

Now for budgeting for two weeks, I will advise you go with as much money as you can, starting from N200k because to tell you the honest truth, naira don spoil, but it us regaining strength small by small.

N150k can still try, but you will be constrained.


So this is how you will go......

(stay tuned)

Now this thread has turned to another Igbo bashing thread

I wonder what joy you lot derive in this foolishness


Mogerjs as a whole support illicit money, not just the Igbos, if not, why is every scammer caught a Yoruba person, or most skull miners

These fraudsters flaunting on instagram, and the people hailing them, are those ones Igbo too?

Or the ones in Benin whose parents collect illicit money from prostitution or Yahoo from their kids without asking the source of their income?

We need to rid of ethnic sentiment in this country and tell us the truth that WE in Nigeria worship money, and WE MUST stop worshiping money.

And we should have integrity


The article is spot on....

But it applies to us all, not only Igbos

ngcars:
Been looking for you bro. Hope you are good?

I'm fine o Long time.

Are you still at that place? Hope you are enjoying the place

Beautyaddy:
Looool!!
She's now putting the blame on you now.

See me see problem o

Pidgin2:
When the likes of maternal and ugosample are busy with their hate campaign against Nigeria, posting rubbish on the internet, how will we be respected by other countries like Qatar?

Pidgin2:
Crack you up? You should be in misery.

How can someone be commenting on the same thread for four years. This is unbelievable abi dem dey pay you ni? Get a life

Why are you talking like someone that has hot akamu in the head as brain?

After my comments in 2013, did I comment on the thread again till now

Na wa for your reasoning.

This is true

Pidgin2:
Since 2013 you've been on this thread commenting about a country which you haven't visited before, are you sure it's only order you are craving for or there's something more, you no get work sha.

This lady continues to crack me up.

I'm just saying

Nice

PDPGuy:
The truth is that no country is a complete eldorado. America has its problems just as any other nation.
So, I will advise anyone trying to migrate permanently to America to really do their homework before commiting to embark on the journey.
Moreover, anyone in Naija who makes N500,000 or more every month is relatively comfortable and may not be desperate to emigrate permanently to the US/seek the Green card. Surely Nigerian millionaires and billionaires would likely prefer to only visit the US for vacation rather than hustle for US citizenship

Exactly.

Even tho there are many these days, even despite making so much money, still decide to move abroad.
I knew sone of them like that back then.
You will make money a lot in Nigeria, that's the story for some; but some of us crave for order, and a proper society, not the relatively chaotic environment we have.

But in the end, let us do what we feel will be best for us.

ExcelNG:
Pazienza you know I like you and will always stand for the Igbo nation. The "Enemies" of Igboland maybe rejoicing but that is because we gave them chance for that.

Let me tell you... sentiments aside, atimes I weep for the coming Igbo generation. We worship money a lot. Mind you, these rubbish cuts among all tribes in Nigeria but am focusing on Igbo because am a pure one.

This is one of the reason I migrated from Igboland to another country. Your mates will pressure you on how others are "making" it without bothering to ask how they made it.

Check most so called rich people in Nigeria and their jobs. Compare their income with the money they spend and you will notice that something is not adding up. How can a business man selling onions for just a month be Riding Venza and building a house the next month? Funny enough, they call it "Gods blessings". But if we were to investigate well, we will see that so many souls were wasted to acquire the so called "Gods blessings".

Pazienza let me tell you something, I used to have this Imo guy and Yoruba guy as my friends. Do you know why I discarded them? Everyday, they will sit behind a laptop monitoring company emails and conversations. Looking for Money transactions to steal. They call it wire or something. They have Yoruba accomplices from Ogun. I warned them that what they are doing is bad. They called me " A Jew". Whenever they make money then, they will hit Owerri spending like Presidents. One of them even bought his mum a car and the woman was thanking "God for Blessings". God forbid! Today, the Imo guy is dead! What happened last last?

I don't support evil and will never support evil. God is not stupid and can not be mocked. Am not trying to preach to you. For the past 7 years, I have not even entered a church. Am a Catholic but anything Church disgusts me these days. When I reach USA, I will maybe find my way back to Church if am not a traditional worshipper then.

Personally, am always at peace with my God with the little I am making.

Please read Galatians 6:7 "Do Not Be Deceived. God Is Not Mocked. Whatever A Man Soweth, He Will Reap".

I heard that the first person shot was his father. I saw people discussing it on facebook. Lets assume that the man is a drug baron true true. Are you telling me his father will not be aware? Do you think the Parish Priest of that parish may not have heard hints that he is into drugs? Yet they will title him and give him honours in the church. ON PEOPLES BLOOD!

During Obiano's Mothers' burial, 21 bishops attended. If it were to be a " Church Rat", will the Parish priest even attend? Atimes the Catechist will run away too! They will now send the Seminarian on Apostolic work to bury him like a nonentity. Just because the man had no money!

My bro, read between the lines and think far!

You spoke the truth

Beautyaddy:
Are you for real?

So all those people can afford 64,000 naira and plus for just a visiting visa and still no guaranteed of even getting the Visa...and then after that now have to spend thousands of naira for flight tickets and still no guarantee that they will be let into the US at the POE?....Yeah Right! Please stop this unnecessarily delusional wishful thinking.

Don't mind the guy.

ayodele234:
I treat every person with a college degree as a fool until proven otherwise. In all my history of living so called educated people are the most gullible. Just in case you weren't reading well I will state it clearly for you once again. IN AMERICA 62% or even more of her citizens CAN'T COME UP WITH $500 AND THOSE CARS AND HOUSES YOU SEE PEOPLE FRONTING IN WON'T BE PAID FOR IN 6 AND 30 YRS RESPECTIVELY. If they dare stop working in just 14 days they will be thrown out of their homes, that's why millions of people are living on the street in California, New York and Chicago. If you think people are suffering in Africa then go to New York and see the real original suffer head. Suffering and desperation is the best way to sum up the American dream. Even more funny are those Nigerians wasting their money paying heavily to give birth to their children in the United States thinking they are giving them a better life. Name a single Nigerian born in the United States with a 401k account of $500,000 after 35 yrs of working their ass off. If you earn $12,000 annually in America you are in the same category with someone making 18k naira monthly in Nigeria or even worse. Until you get to the United States and your cousin who have stayed donkeys years starts begging you for your BTA to complete his/her monthly house rent that's when the reality with hit you. 99.9% of Nigerians in America and broke ass, don't worry you will find out soon yourself. Countless people will beg you for common phone bills. Anyone making headway there has a connection back in Nigeria bringing in money for them. I will avoid the other two folks cos they are well informed but due to the fact that they are traveling agents and this avenue is their way of earning a living.....i quite understand that

This guy is VERY hilarious.

Comparing suffering in Africa to suffering in the United States

Comparing death to sleep.


Okay, let us assume that 50m out of a population of over 330 m people are poor, the government still assist them with Social Security in one way or the other, and though the U.S. welfare system is abysmal, it is always better than what you have in Nigeria, and in most places in Africa

You say that there are homeless people in the U.S., yes they are, but at least, some people make provisions for homeless shelter, and the ones who are on drugs, can't stay there
Which one has this evil country or the evil elite provided?

See how beggars have multiplied in Nigeria, and when I'm in the country I just look at them with Pitt because the country has FAILED them.

Okay, you talk about mortgages, what's wrong with a mortgage as long as you qualify for it.

If you pay rent for 30 years, and the house will still not be yours, why can't you pay the mortgage with the hope that the home will be yours
What is the home ownership rate in Nig? Rubbish

Andyou are also talks of Nigerian people who pay lots of money to make their kids American citizens
If you don't know, that's one of the best investments to make.

Wait till that kid gets to college, then you know why, in addition to expanded visa free travel access (what a Nigerian passport which I carry for now cannot give me or you) I know what I face using it.

In summary, America may not be heaven, but life there is FAR better than Nigeria
Except you are a billionaire
Then you can stay here and oppress the rest.

Rochas is one man I can vote for to be President from the igbo tribe. Very detribalised. He is headed somewhere.

The banner inscription reads "University of Nigeria medical students association". I believe this is the departmental students association gala night.
10k is quite reasonable handout for such a group to give its member.

You do know that Maje is equally her "vomit" now

Just saying so you know
