Getting married is one thing... Meeting up with family responsibilities is another thing.

A man that couldn't pay 20k, how can he take care of his wife and family? I pray God intervenes for him.

But myself, I can't do such gesture... A man that can't pay his wife's dowry is not ready yet for marriage.

Simple!

While did u return bro, yarn me make I no do mistake abeg

I went as a student on a student visa.
During and after studies, kept applying for professional jobs.
They will call for interview,
They will say I am qualified. But they won't give. Because I was on student visa.
Technically, they could take me and do a work permit.
But they will not.
Meanwhile, I was working part time as customer service attendant.
As time went on, customer service work was going more and more.
Professional job people now started saying, "but you have spent 2, 3, 4 years doing customer service. How does that show experience for "xyz professional job?"
Visa ran out, and i had to return.
-
I have a cousin there who instead went and did "fake marriage and fake divorce" to white woman. He just paid money in court to fake the papers. He never met any woman.
That one gave him residence paper.
He's there now as citizen but the block head refused to even use that citizen to get professional job.
He's still doing security work.
Things affect the brain at times.

Good morning nairalanders, I know its too early to post this but this issue has been troubling me for a while now.
I can't sleep, even if i eventually do, i can't stay asleep, for example if i sleep by 2am, i will wake up by 4am and thats it for that night.
It has been going on for months now, and i hardly sleep in the afternoon too..
If you observe when i made this post, I slept around 3am because today is my birthday, i was answering calls and chats from well wishers, now i am up again around 5, thats why i made this post, i am fed up...

Please can you guys suggest a very strong sleeping tablet for me? I really need to sleep and stay asleep, i mean lock everywhere up, eat, take the tablet and sleep a very deep sleep, a kind of sleep that i will not know what is happening around...

Please help a brother, i don even begin de slim like who them de squeeze blood commut for body....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HUMBLE SELF BTW...

Turn off your phone for 3 days straight.
Leave it, and pretend that we in back in 1990 before mobile phones.
Your mind is troubling you because you're thinking too much about all that is in that phone.

Everything in UK is always strict.

Useless place.

meum:
Insensitive of her😢

F*** the woman and her opinion. Who voted for her?
The person voted for was Sanwolu, and not his wife.
If I call a bricklayer to construct my house for me, do I go and call his wife as well?
My business is with the professional bricklayer.
Same thing with Governors and presidents.

Spirit?
sure it's not snake?

ausproxi:

Nigeria started in 1914. Thats 109 years ago
and you are still saying, " this is just the beginning"?

Tomorrow now they will say we should change all our cultures so that man and man should marry.
Idiot country of confused leftist people

DodadaKoKigbe:
STOP whinning. buy mosquito net and gen.

You missed the point.
You totally missed it.
I don't even think Nigerians even know where the point is again.
Ii is a born heritage to deliberately miss the point.
Sorry for taking your time.

Kenmatt:
OP, you said her Father hails from Lagos.

Please are there any people who are the indigenous people of Lagos?

Yes Na.
Abi you think is white men that invented Lagos before?
Yoruba people were already in Lagos before British people came.

Dotherightthing:
She could easily pass for white but a child always wants to belong to their father's side no matter what.

Is her father also Plumptre

People just be claiming anything when it favours them.
When she's chilling overseas she will be claiming Nigerian.
If you are Nigerian, come here and enter 5hrs traffic jam and carry water with bucket on your head.
Sleep with mosquitoe, heat and no light. Plus allow embassy to deny your visa to leave.
After 1 month experience, you will reject Nigeria from your blood.
Nonsense.

maticar:
This is not even debatable under normal circumstances

If not for a dysfunctional system....

I saw this poll on YouTube.
The comments under are very good too as unlike in this site, many foreign people are also commenting. Including where they also contributed to the dysfunctional systems we have.

Ikaeniyan0:
How did the UK school accept someone of her calibre? If you have a well paying job in Nigeria, you do not need to japa.

UK does not GIVE A F*** who you ARE.
PROVIDED You are have money to GIVE THEM to PAY SCHOOL FEES.
They need YOUR MONEY.
So even if you a complete ode buruku, LUNATIC...
So far you carry YOUR MONEY AND PAY UK SCHOOL FEES,,,
They will take you in.
I laugh on this platform when people will be celebrating that they got admission into UK university.
This is EXACTLY what the university wants.
For YOU to MARKET their institution in YOUR country, praise them, and get more of YOUR people to come and PAY THEM school fees.
Don't praise your own Nigerian university O. Praise their own UK university.
They're not looking at your stupid dunce, result or Jamb score. They give no F*** about it.
JUST PAY THEIR FEES. And they will take you.
SIMPLE.

tobenuel:
Oga it's too much .. 50k just to learn UK sounds

the dumber the child, the more he should charge.
Nonsense.
Sounds ko, Vison Ni.

VeeVeeMyLuv:
That's means you are saying no body for naija get conscience again?

Leadership is something that we can't just afford just to give to anyhow creature.

That's why some sane country are always very careful when it comes to appointing leadership. Because any mistake majority will surely suffer it like in Naija

The way Nigeria is, it's looking like we need a dictator.
Somebody that will carry cane and FLOG the shit out of everybody to comply.
No discussion, no senate, no budget. Just daily flogging alone.
That's the time Nigerians will be humble.

Babypal:
Reason student route is best

You will still carry your Nigerian Naira, sweat and labour and give white man, because you are his slave.
-
They never take people who NEED money.
They take people who GIVE money to them or Invest in their country.
That's how visa works
To him that already has, much more will be given. (Rich countries will get richer)
To him who has not, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him and given to the other. (poor people and countries will suffer more)
Did you never read this in the Bible?

You took an oath to marry him to stay with him.
In sickness and in health
in good times and in bad time
till death do us part.
-
That is the oath of marriage. Did you not say this to each other on your wedding day?
Why are you running away now?
-
You saw that he didn't finish University because he wasted his resources, and you still married him.
He's a wasteful fellow.
You stay with him like that.

PARADIZEPRIEST:
pAPER DOLLAR WILL SOON GO EXTINCT,AMERICA IS PREPARING TO HAVE A DIGITAL DOLLAR. STAY TUNED TO WORLD NEWS

You will still be jumping up and down to buy that digital dollar.
Abi are they going to give you free?

Fugazy2023:
That is if the dollar increase in relation with inflation dude

I really want to cry. But this our Naira, I have never seen it appreciate.
I was alive when $1 = N1. And we were doing yanga then.
Today $1 = N700+ and people think it is good? How the Fxxx can does that sound good?

Fugazy2023:
Time value of money. He is right.
What you can buy with 1 million today, you can't by with 1 million even by end of this year because price would have increased...

buy dollar and keep under your mattress.
It's still savings abi? And the value will increase.

sunsweet33:
How about the BARBARIC practice of beating children to pulp that Africans tend to see as normal? How is that now affecting you as an adult?

Do you people raise hand against your loved ones? 🤔

Unfortunately I never experience this. Neither did any of my friends all through my childhood. So are we normal Africans?
I won't pretend that I don't know parents used to beat children. But that was never in my environment, here in all the places I lived in Nigeria.
I guess it's just a different lifestyle.
What I experienced, was being beaten by sadistic senior boys in boarding house in school. I never understood why they did this. But after so many years pondering, I guess they either copied each other, or some of them were children of police or soldiers who came from barracks and were regularly beaten at home by their frustrated military parents. So they carried the violence over to school.

CandidAdmin:
I don't know what caused it but anytime I want to talk to the opposite sex, My heart starts to beat really fast. In short, I'm really shy in front of that gender but not that shy in front of my fellow men.
Might be shy at first but after like a day or two, I'm over it.

You don't have much money and you a good job. You're unable to promise the girl heaven and earth. And you feel she will look down on you when she finds this out. This is why you are shy.
You have to work on yourself. Live truthfully and stop trying to impress anybody. The girl that is normal headed will fall for you.

ideamonster:
thanks OP. everybody in Nigeria is having trauma issues

In a very short period, Nigeria has turned from what we thought it would be into whatever shit is happening now. People are confused and demoralised.

lexy2014:
Pls check the comment I responded to. He doesn't agree with u

When we subsidise fuel, it becomes cheaper right?
We buy more of it. Right?
We can run businesses. Right?
-
Because we're buying this fuel, EU who is producing the fuel, is "working" by producing the fuel. They have jobs to produce the fuel for us.
-
Now we're not subsidising, we are not buying much fuel again. EU refineries are not able to sell. They are not working. They will become jobless.
-
But we too are suffering joblessness, because no fuel to run generators to do our normal businesses.
No work for us, no work for EU. Everybody sits down jobless.
This is what 3 of us are saying,
You, the guy you commented and myself.

lexy2014:
Is it fuel Subsidy that is preventing job creation in Nigeria!?

Cheap fuel, you can run generators, run business, employ people
Expensive fuel, you can't run generators. Your goods will be too expensive to sell, business will collapse. No employment.
Subsidy= Cheap fuel
No Subsidy = Expensive fuel.
-
Whatever the case, we would have to set up another type of business model. For now, we suffer, trekking, job loss, no generator, no business.

Curious345:
Reno . The only Nigerian politician still smoking cheap weed.

But he is correct to a certain extent

Do you know of African Americans? Black people in USA?
Well, some of them have been doing this return to Africa thing.
But they go to Ghana instead of Nigeria. Because they still prefer Ghana
