D first largest economy in africa would not even b recognised as an economy elsewhere..talkless of d fifth.. lol..its just like being d fifth strongest maggot in a pit

What is this one saying

gocare:
What!!! Are you serious? How come Nigerians never flood there?

You have to do residency tho, if you want to live there, which btw, is not hard to do.

Ivory Coast speaks French, and many Nigerians cannot speak French.
Even at that, there are MANY Nigerians who live in this country.
A very organised country I must say.

DabuIIIT:
the buhari govt has long given the northerners exclusive rights to tap from their solid minerals..you as a southerner would be 'suyanised' if u dare venture there with them..
Buhari only gave cross rivers state alone licence to tap her solid minerals just last week..
The south is in bondage

And one dumbass is asking why there is crisis in the Niger Delta

iambabaG:
As an omo yoruba, i can categorically say.. you are a certified bastard!!

What is with you people and kongi seff!!

You will give all those awon omo isreal mouth now..

Lol

kayfra:
You did not build the water well in the first place nor do you have legal recourse to the land that it's built on. It's just on your ancestral land.

Please use your brain.

So the gold in th north, or whatever that is in the ground belongs to all of Nigeria too right, and not the north.
Why are other avenues to make money not exploited up there?

Why are they not contributing much to the national purse? instead they are waiting for oil revenues to be shared.

If you are not from there, you cannot understand.
That's just it.
Someone will sit in Lagos, and be talking nonsense about what he knows nothing about.

The Niger Delta has been cheated in Nigeria, and anyone who thinks otherwise is not a honest person.

gocare:
How does one get abigjan visa? how much for room in naira for a month?

No need for visa, just go with your passport like that

joncan12:
bro I wish to relocate to Abidjan please let's chat on what app 08020724816

Well, if you want to move to Abidjan, you have to do your homework well, and know at the back of your mind that Naira has fast lost its value.

Having handwork or running your own business is the way to go, as opposed to looking for work here, especially when your French is limited.

Wow! !! Naira is now doing 1250. As I change am e pepper me for body.... Somebody should please help our country out of this well it has found itself...

GuyfawkesAB:
Lots of uninformed people here. All I see is the same rhetorics that have blinded them- Good job by the corrupt Western Media.

The USA is the real Satan in the world today. Hardly any coup, regime change, guerrilla uprisings, terrorist cell, war, invasion etc in the world today that the USA is not the initiator, directly or using proxies.

Yet you blind ones keep on shouting and hailing them, knowing little of the plan of this oligarchic powerful cult currently running the white house and wall street to bring chaos to as many places as they want to spread their interests and influence. It's not far fetched from their goals as members of the 33rd degree Freemasons and New World Order proponents- "Out of Chaos comes Order"

Stay there and continue to chant "America is the greatest nation on earth" till their destruction machine finds its way to your doorstep.

It had been Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. today it's Syria. Tomorrow they will move into Iran and then maybe look at Africa too, for the next place to bring chaos.

I rest my case

And you think Russia is a saint?
Lol
They are all demons......

Foolishness is when you paint the west bad and Russia good.
they are all the same

IamOdin:
Lol, so up until now u still have not realized that the U.S have an over-bloated military??
Bro forget what u watch on hollywood and face reality cos most of those movies are sci-fi.
If U.S has the military capability of russia, russia wouldn't be on the map right now. Or at a minimum, russia would be a U.S colony.
Show me a link or just show me a story where (in reality not movies) U.S military out-witted the russian military. And i will show u dozens where russians did the same.

And FYI, russia has far more classified weapons than the U.S. Look it up.

600bn budget?? That means u don't know the MIC, they are are only bent on ripping the tax-paying Mericans ( a single f-22 is sold close to $300m ). Plus some of those goes to maintaining their soldiers in their hundreds of bases around the globe.

And btw, the question isn't who spends the more money, the question is who gets the better deal.
If someone decides to buy a wrist watch of N20m, and i bought mine for just N300. Who lost.

Lol...
What makes you think I am judging based on Hollywood?
I don't even know what you mean by that lol.

fourthworld:
NATO is nothing but toothless BULLDOG. They can't stand the alliance of Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. Power has changed hands in the world brother

Who is deceiving this guy?


As sad as it sound, western countries have the most powerful killing machines the world has ever seen o.


Just pray they don't remember your country...
Saddam and Gadaffi will tell you better.

IamOdin:
bro, the fear of russia is the begining of politcal wisdom. The US knows this.
If US has the military capability russia has, the world wouldn't be a safe place.

So you think Russia has a better military capability than the USA?
Who is deceiving you wanna be western haters pls?

I'm not on any side, but there is a reason why USA spends more than ($600billion, which by the way is greater than Nigeria's GDP) on military annually.
And with the classified weaponry at the disposal of the USA, just forget it

ccollins:
your posts stinks of numerous problems that Nigeria is facing today, Kenya may not be developed but for mere fact of having 24hrs electricity which nigeria cannot achieve as a failed country should shows a huge gap in distance by a mile, common popular subway and good roods ,we don't have, go to maitama, lekki, via those big sides in Nigeria, tell me what's special about them, are they finer than pics we see here.. the rich men living in those high brow areas only know how to build high fences to hide their houses due to poor security in Nigeria.. please swerve to one side.there are African countries doing well than Nigeria

??

In terms of infrastructure, yea I agree that some African countries are ahead, but that alone does not qualify a country as a "developed" country.

What is too hard to understand in this?

And besides, how many places have you been to in Nigeria to know that Nigeeia has poor infrasteivture as a whole.

PS
The power problem in Nigeria is shameful tho.

musicwriter:
Between the 1400 AD - 1800 AD there was an estimated influx of over 100,000.000 Europeans into different parts of Africa in search of greener pastures.

Not only did we accommodate them, we also allowed them to take over our lands and enslave us for 400 good years!. They impoverished the African people and they think they'll never pay the price?

Europe, it's pay back time!.

What African governments should do is continue to take as much money as they can from Europe and pay them lip-service of doing something about the problem. That's exactly what Europe would've done if they were to be in our shoes.

African governments should instead escalate international refugee and migrant protection laws, cause we need it now. This problem is natural, there's nothing Europe can do to stop the migration.

Each time I see this on TV, all I say is "karma".

100m Europeans? ?
That is an exaggerated figure tho...
And besides, we did not "allow" them to enslave us, bla bla bla, they were stronger than us, that is why they were able to conquer....

Besides over those centuries, we also contributed in no small measure to the misfortune that befell this continent.

I am well versed in the history, and so are you, but please don't paint a one sided picture to it

Cheers...

florycist:
Can I get a better road trip experience using a transport service like Young Shall Grow for example on my trip to Abidjan??

Yes you can.
It is advisable to use YSG.
Just hold your passport

it's very unfortunate.

There are budgetary allocations for these roads, but the wickedness of the African elite class will always prevail, squandering the money while their people suffer

emeka762001:
Nigeria will be better off if the country is split. nothing good can come out from Christians/Muslims meeting. let the north go

What is this one saying

From the comments I see, it is now obvious that my people (Igbo) know nothing about politics...

There is no permanent friend in politics but permanent interests, and because of that, even if you have to align with the devil to get into the forefront in politics, you do it, instead of being cry babies of how the rest of the country don't treat us well.

A United South indeed is a powerful bloc, but because of sentiment, some eediots will want to scuttle it.

nonsense

Bifwoli:
Its very sad when Africans don't value their own continent or think its not worth a visit.

How are other races and continents going to value Africa if we ourselves think and act in a manner that says "African countries are useless and not worth attention or respect" ??

Yea.. it's sad.
But really though, judging by the current state of the continent, is Africa really somewhere to be proud of

I love Africa because I am one.
But if I weren't?

golddust6000:
That is your own opinion. The reason why western men will remain slave to their women is because the law favors the women, i have seen a situation in germany where the man caught the woman red handed for cheating, by the end of the day, the man was force to leave the house and divide his wealth into two. I did not say nigerian woman are better, but i prefer them way better than western women any time any day.

Yea...
Things like that happen

MtuMsuper:
Kenya has a thriving scientific and engineering community, with innovations and research constantly in everything from agricultural sciences to information technology to medical sciences........ad infinitum.
Our people have gone to school plenty plenty. Did you know this?

We also go to school plenty plenty here in Nigeria too, but where is the innovation?

AKBliv010:
Funny thing is they go back home to marry, bring the wife over to live overseas, their eye to tear ( they understand marriage laws and see how it favours women) for here then they start acting like a foreigner. There no escaping...it's the laws protecting them that make act that way. Give it to most naija women and they'll do the same.

Don't expect a woman to endure your nonsense for obodoyibo!

Can I get a gbam?!!!

You got that right bro...
Behave yourself, and you will not be taken to the cleaners, simple.

MtuMsuper:
Are you trying to insinuate that we in Kenya have no scientific achievements to speak of?

Not just Kenya, the entire continent is lagging behind in that respect.
Fine buildings and good roads are not enough if you want to call yourself a developed country, that is my point.
If any African country calls itself "developed" what should China or Germany call itself?

Upright750:
Because God told Abraham to go his home town And get married .. they are just keeping the word of God or God's advise ..

You must be an Igbo man....

Na so nwanne

golddust6000:
i do not need to address the issue bro, because it doesnt nake sense at aag all to me.

The point he made is a big one tho.
I am Igbo, and I daresay that in Nigeria, very few tribes are more misogynist than Igbo men (well not all, but a good parentage of them, especially those who grew up at the root)

So I am not surprised that men like that can't cope with living with say, a German woman for example, because a little Bleep up and she will decimate you, not like the (some) Igbo ladies at home who will endure all sort of rubbish because of the fear of stigma and how they were brought up.

If you treat your woman right, and drop cave man mentality, the chances of your wife dropping you over here is significantly reduced.
period

Kenyanstar:
Poverty is an international phenomenon and is not limited to certain continents nor countries.... Unemployment, slums and poverty go hand in hand and even the most developed country, America has its fair share of poverty.

Okay... poverty aside.
What of scientific development?

A country without scientific development should never call itself developed.
Even the natural resources we have as Africans, we can't even extract it ourselves, and someone is saying some countries in Africa is developed?

We should all be ashamed of ourselves

golddust6000:
you are really out of point! No man will do such compared to what is happening in western world. Its in our african DNA that we have forgeven spirit. We are born to forgive. We believe for better for worse, abi dem no teach u that one for marriege counselling? Come rain come shine african women in african are the best in the world after far east easian. Bible says the man is the head of the family, not woman. Ask your self why do they have somany wayward kids in western world, due to broken home, 72% of westerners are divorcee! Bro i love my culture, with all the money in the world i wont commit myself getting married to so-called white or african born in the west.

You are the one out of point because you did not address the issue he raised.

ccollins:
keep deceiving your self,I know you have Never been out this government neglected country. that's why you speak like an illiterate, go to Egypt, south africa, tazania, Ethiopia, stop saying trash, some african countries a are developed

Oga, I have travelled to enough countries in Africa, so don't say you don't know.
Ethiopia that cows will be moving on the street anyhow?
Or South Africa that Zuma is destroying?

You must be a bush man to think that fine buildings and good roads arena sign of development, because if it is by fine buildings, Abuja is one of the most beautiful capital cities in Africa, but that does not mean shit


Where are the solid industries across Africa?
Unemployment rates nko?
What of robust social welfare?
Or solid education, inventions

Which African university comes out with ground breaking research?

I have been to 13 universities across Africa and it is the same story. its not by fine buildings o, it's by substance.

So what are you now talking about

Bollinger:
You are funny. You think if the societal structure in Nigeria was normal the divorce rate wouldn't be ten times higher than what exists in America? No one wants to be treated like slaves and Nigerian women are basically treated as such. The reason they are afraid to leave their husbands in Nigeria is because of the economic and legal realities that exist in the country. Both factors do not favor them. They know how difficult it would be to survive without the surpport of their husband especially when kids are involved. To make matters worse, the legal system does not favor them. A man can wake up one morning and chase his wife out of their matrimonial home and bring in someone else that same day and nothing will happen. Come and try that shiit over here. The reason the divorce rate in Nigeria is so low is because of fear on the part of women. It is that simple.

For once Bollinger, I agree with you on this

Not this topic again

schboy3:
@ugosample, am still tryinq to fiqure out what's with the ELUBO u have been talkinq about since , on ma way to CI, ah was the one that sort maself at the immiqration bla bla, and it went well.

The only thinq ah feel dat miqht qive few some headache miqht be those quys at the park, (which ah feel it's normal everywhere).

So the first time, ah took à taxi to cross, and he was the one that took me to where ah need to stample, yellow card, and that's all.

It was only the CI people that asked for yellow card, which ah have, and stamplinq was 2000 CFA. Well ah paid à total of 12000 CFA , for both qh and CI. (ah felt it was too much, buh ah remember someone sayinq somethinq like dat here too). And after every every, the taxi took me to the park where ah took à bus qoinq to Abidjan (ruqqed city).
Ah paid the cab quy 5qhc, and paid 5000 CFA the Abidjan bus.
From ELUBO to Abidjan is about 2-3:30 hrs journey, and the lady sittinq beside me was très aider, and she told me that cocody was kinda expensive, while some areas isn't adviceable for a newcomer (àh showed her the map that the OP uploaded few days aqo).
Ça jolie........

qettinq there, for a first timer, u will be confuse (biq time)...., had to locate à bank, and qhen qhen..... ATM/BUHARI, decided to show up, believe me it wasn't funny ooo , ma leqs weak.....
ATM wey be say ah use withdraw pour qhana la matinée ooo, ah just tired...., and aqain ah don already discharqe dat lady Oooo (double wahala)

And all dis was happeninq around sept ou huit heures la nuit. Ah met the bank sécurité, and explained to him, and he was really really helpful.

He told me he stays far, or had it been he has closed, he would taken me to his house. so he had to call someone who then took me to an hôtel where ah paid 5000 CFA for the niqht.

Next day, ah went to ecobank, and ah met an older woman (Edo woman) with same issue, for her she was headinq to seneqal, (she came from laqos with the younq shall qrow)
To cut the lonq story short, ah had to find ma way back to the park where ah took à bus back to qhana (ma second home), still for 5000 CFA. (Infact it was the same bus ah took while cominq)

Dis time, ah don't need any taxi quy to cross me, ah went for maself to the immiqration. And at the CI side, ah paid 2000 CFA, and at the qh side, ah wasn't stample, (for ma mind ah think say GOD don answer ma prayers ooo), and ah crossed ooo, then ah used the last 40qhc to board à bus qoinq to Accra.

On our way qoinq, there's dis place (semi-immiqration post) where everyone will have to aliqht and cross on foot, and ur ID will be checked (or pay about 10qhc am not sure), so they checked ma PP, and found out dat ah didn't stample at the qh side, Omo nor be small wahala ooo, all what ah was hearinq was ' master u have to qo back and stample' (about 1hr to qo back ooo) huh qo back ke Ah told dem say ah nor fit ooo, and aqain ah nor even qet even bar to qo back, dem nor even dey hear ma own. .....
Ah met their Oqa, explain to the man say ATM bla bla bla, told him to check ma PP, and other stories that touches the heart , the man nor believe ooo, dem dey wonder how be say ATM no qo work aqain, dem say na lie, (all dis don dey enter trente minutes, ma bus still dey arrêt) so ah told the Oqa say make e hold ma PP say make ah qo Accra qo withdraw, and ah qo come back 2mao. (because honestly, ah would have qone back to CI) well, finally dem qree.
Ah was sure dat ah could withdraw in Accra, because ah qot money just a day before, so that shouldn't be a biq deal.
So we qot to kenashine by dix heures la nuit, ah had to qo to the stanbic dat paid me hier, low and behold, it was sayinq 'Unknown transaction' Jesu.........., qtb same, qhbank same, ah just qive up..

Ah just had to head to ma hôtel at kasoc (thank God say we already pay for 2day ahead). And finally ma qh host came to ma rescue.

Ah was supposed to qo back to that semi-immiqration post for ma PP au vendredi, buh ah didn't, till au dimanche (ma host came back au samedi). On qettinq there, it was another set of people (Jesu.....) and they didn't know anythinq about ma case, ah still met the Oqa of the post, explain... explain...., (à very very nice man) ah brouqht card for him, and he started callinq everyone from the previous shift.... And no one knew about it (not knowinq say na wa small man for rank, dey form oqa)

Finally we qot the person that was with ma PP, Infact he took it home, he had to send someone to brinq it. And when it came, the oqa (nice man) just look tru ma paqes, ah quess he understood that ah was been honest. ( because they felt ah hide to cross) then he qave me two options.
(1) qoinq to ELUBO to stample, buh ah shouldn't stample at the qoinq part, buh ah should qo and stample at the arrival (mission impossible)
(2) since ah said am qoinq back to ma country, ah shouldn't stample at AFULO, because if they see ma PP and noticed that ah went out of qh, and came in with stamplinq, dat one na criminal case (double wahala)

Abeq ooo, ah nor wan qet wahala for another man land ooo, ah decided to qo with option one. He qave me his number, and said ah should call him incase of anythinq. He even took me to where ah can qet a taxi qoinq to ELUBO.
On qettinq to the border, before ah qo say JACK..... qoinq people don dey ask for PP, and ah tell the man NO ah want to stample IN, (ah sure say na the 2000 CFA dey e main) he just took ma PP inside, and ask me to turn.
Omo na so dem open ma PP, na der another film start...., ah explain tire ooo, 'u have committed an offense, ur fine is 30,000 CFA , (where ah wan steal am from), na so ah call that Oqa for fone ooo, na e the man say qive dem fone, (another wahala aqain ooo) dem nor even qree pick, Infact dem qo call army for me , ah relate the présence occurance to the oqa on fone, he then told me to mention his name and post to anyone that's close to me. Omo na so ah dey shout the Oqa name and post, Omo na so dem rush the fone ooo, as if na BOMB!, ... , all what ah was hearinq from the man standinq with me is 'Alriqht sir, u dont have to say anythinq sir, it's done sir, x4' chai.... see power..... E just pain me say ah don already pay 2000 CFA, because if not, àh for nor pay at all at all.
Ah qot ma PP stample, and headed home, still met the man, he said ah should call him incase AFULO disturb (NB: ah have variés of date stampled)

C'est fini pour le moment.

Next year, ah will still repeat dis trip, ah need to visit CI, that sécurité quy is really a qreat quy, ah need to check on him, and the OGA at semi-immiqration Post, ah lovely and nice Man.

OBSERVATIONS
CI people understand ABIT anqlais, buh won't tell u, buh if they really wanna help, they will ask u to parle anqlais.
CI is a ruqqed city (Abidjan), and they love niqht life.
CI women hips is baba nla final !! (qh comes second)
CI has a breakfast that looks like Shawarma, and they eat there breakfast while walk on the road, mostly students.
CI smoke without control, homme et femme. Smokinq is like there way of life.
CI qirls like touchinq body (lolz, ah notice dat with the lady sittinq beside me )
C'est tout pour le moment.

Niqeria bank (mostly ecobank) need to make sure there staffs understand another UN lanquaqe.
The CC ah met at ecobank Abidjan, understand abit enqlish, and with ma french, we were able to flow. (yeah, ah need to visit dat lady on ma next visit)

In all, it was really a fun expérience, and ah will definitely qo back prochaine année.

ah remember, ah walked past à semi laqos island around one area like dat (dont even know where ah was, me wey dey look for bank), jesu...... Yoruba women has taken over that area, Infact for a few seconds, ah thouqht ma ears were playinq pranks. , wow........ Yoruba women, ah hailllll ooo.

Wow... what an expérience. !!

Wow!!!
What an experience indeed
