Abagworo:
Jiji is dead and buried. Now full of fraudsters

I think I may have to agree with this

ikaboy:
That’s is why the number is there for you to put a call through. You can rely on konga & jumia for price consistency

Really? So why is the price there too?

If we have to call to know pricing, why then list price in the first place?

Let's just admit that Nigerians and some Nigerian businesses are built to frustrate progress.

Imagine doing budgeting for engineering works, using up to 10 seller prices per part listed, only to call all 10 and be told "prices have all changed"

So all 10 of them couldn't care less to update their prices on the site?

On Jiji, every seller is like a backend web designer that has the ability to EDIT their page.

This "I don't care" attitude by them epitomizes the typical jaga jaga Naija mentality.

I have called and called different sellers only to almost be in tears out of frustration.

You'd see something listed 25k. You add contact in whatsapp, or call, then they say, no price is now 50k or 60k or....

How can anyone plan expenditures for projects like this?

Why do some Nigerian things have to be so backward, upside down and frustrating?

When I used to sell on Jiji, I would always update my prices even if I listed a 100 products.

What kind of lazy, wicked, frustrating sellers are on the site nowadays?

I wish there were a way to report all these sellers, having them banned, so the sanity can be restored to the site.

Just wanna rant, cause I know this is not the right section.

You will call like 100 different sellers on Jiji and all of them will give you pricing that is different from what is listed on the site, claiming "prices have changed".

If Prices have changed, why not log in to Jiji and update your price? Why wait until a customer has done research for a product and found a fitting price only to call and be told it's not the price anymore.

Jumia sellers will NEVER DO THIS

Nigerians can be so difficult to work with ehn, its frustrating.

I now hate Jiji with a passion. I wish all sellers that don't update their pricing could be banned for life.

The site is now pointless, cause you will never see a price there that remains the same once you are ready to buy and make a call.

Giant of Africa

Isn't that what leadership is there for? To lead and inspire people?

When you were in secondary school and in class, what had more weight in keeping the classroom quiet? Was it your advise to fellow classmates to keep shut? Or was it a disciplinary threat by your teacher?

You support the most terrible of terrible leaders, like terrible coup plotters and certificate forgers and start preaching the change begins with us, wow. Of course, we are to hold ourselves to high account, but even the best of us might go astray without good leadership, talk less of the worst of us.

You telling me if Elon Musk were a Governor or President in Nigeria, he won't solve problems?

Simple problems like OPEN GUTTERS still exist, and your so called leaders can't even close them up.

How will you attract tourist, when people can see poo on the streets while they walk. So tourists would be walking, eating burger, and seeing poo burgers in gutter and you think they will want to come back?

Like really?

Long queues everywhere, can't buy petrol for my car or gen and there is no light.

May God help us in this country.

Because by May 28 2023, we had two issues

1.A foreign reserve that was effectively below 4 billion dollars

2.Debt service eating 90% (some said 99%) of our income..thanks to the high loans we had to take


That is why we had to end up partially removing subsidy (Tinubu has not removed subsidy, or fuel would be 1000 per liter by now) and float the naira. Thanks to decades of not diversifying our economy, bad policies, wasting of money, etc...here we are. THere simply was no money for the good times to continue


(I don't work for the government, nor am I excusing government polices...and as you can see, if we ended up with the above 2 points, it shows that APC has failed, and tinubu is part of the failure. ).

I wonder why there is always "NO MONEY", but there is aways MONEY for them to buy 160 thousand dollar vehicles!

A real puzzler.

No money for student loan, N5B, but hey you guys going to hajj, take N24B

No money for salary, but spend $500,000 in New York luxury hotel.

Their supporters cheer, "DO YOU WANT YOUR LEADER TO STAY IN MOTEL?"

ummm, why not

No really, why not? Them say we poor right, so why not stay in motel as the president of a poor country?

Who you dey flex for? So your country poor mean say, you go carry all your poor people money go stay for hotel? chai

I'm tired of Nig politicians, I venture to say 90% of them should be jailed for decades.

aswani:

IREV worked for the most part

How much were you paid to betray your conscience, family, friends and nation?

Not one mention about the economy, or the problems facing the country now from the so called "noble" professor.

Calling others that simply wanted the IREV to work as had been promised my INEC man even in UK, fascists.

As one guy said, we would have thought Soyinka a hero, if not for these last elections.

This last election exposed people like Soyinka, Reno...

nairalanda1:
There are roads with lane markings in NIgeria. Very much so.

(NO, I am not excusing the government , so calm down.)

There are also roads in Ivory Coast that are just as bad as you describe here in NIgeria

Below is a documentary on a part of Ivory coast and its 'main road'

Ivory coast: Drivers take risk

Also, USA roads look good because in most parts they are TOLLED. If we brought tolls back here (they vanished in 2002, except in places like Lekki), most of us would call it anti-people. Yet, tolled roads=money for maintenance.

Nothing wrong with Tolls if there are alternatives.

I used to pay to use the Sam Houston Tollway, but the alternative "i-#" highway had I think 5 lanes on each side, making it 10 lanes, just that it added 10-15mins to the journey since the Sam houston is a ring highway with better interconnectivity across the city.

Here in Lagos, they turned road that was already there to Toll and called the residential area, "Oniru", an alternate route. That was such a wicked thing to do.

I have always said that the Lekki-Ikoyi Link bridge is a perfect example of a "righteous" toll road, cause it solves a problem, and it was newly constructed. So for example, if you were in lekki and wanted to go to ikoyi without paying toll, then you would use the FREE lekki-epe highway, but if you had money and your time was extremely valuable, then you'd pay to use the link bridge and cut your journey time by over 60%.

Anyways sha, I'm done ranting for this morning, till night.

Have a blessed day bro!

How you know the other is better than Nigerias own is LANE MARKINGS

Since STANDARDS don't exist in Nigeria, they build road with open gutter and no lane markings or worn out lane markings they never ever repaint, cause lane markings don't mean much in a Lawless land.

When I told someone that in Houston, you get a ticket for changing lanes, i.e, crossing the white lines, without signaling, he thought I was joking. Of course he did, cause Nigeria is a lawless nation.

In nations with laws, EVERY SINGLE MARKING ON THE ROAD MEANS SOMETHING

A DASHED LINE MEANS SOMETHING
A SOLID LINE MEANS SOMETHIG
A YELLOW LINE MEANS SOMETHING

and it is serious enough to get you in trouble with the police if you do something regarding the lines, that you shouldn't do.

I PRAY THOUGH, THAT ONE DAY, NIGERIA OR THE NATIONS THAT FORM FROM IT, HAVE LAW AND ORDER.

Tinubu approves 24 billion naira for Hajj according to twitter investigator - 99% Oppressed.


https://twitter.com/PIDOMNIGERIA/status/1757464791113662914

some Nigerians like it like that. They love the smell of fresh poo in the morning while having their breakfast.

You will complain about open gutter, someone will ask you if gutter is your problem, chai

So you want tourist to come to Nigeria, walk to KFC and be eating Burger with strong poo smell as he/she waka back home ba?


Giant of Africa, no light, no water, gutter full of poo and OPEN FOR EVERYONE TO SEE HOW ROTTEN IT IS

IpobAntidote:
I said it that they will go back to calling Nigeria ZOO again. I'm vindicated again.
I must be a genius.

You are vindicated indeed

chinchum:
It is time to close ranks President elect.

My guts rarely fails, i predicted victory for you in a competitive election. I am also predicting resounding success particularly in the area of economic growth and prosperity to many Nigerians via a largely increased revenue base, cut on oil subsidy wastage and aggressive infrastructural development.

Many Nigerians underrate your abilities as a development centric politician and no politician ever have had so much aspersions casted on him/her. You easily forgive your enemies. You apply a lot of common sense , a rarity amongst politicians.

Your first 18 months will be your toughest battle as you begin to set the tone for a prosperous nation, but your biggest critics will turn around and acknowledge you thereafter.

For those wishing you death, i am asking God to make them live long to witness you in good health and positive transformation of the nation. Forgive those who wish you death.

Your best person to support was a certificate forger?

So that is what you will tell God when you stand naked and bare before your maker? That a certificate forger was the best for the job.


Chai, una for this Naija men, gosh

livinbygrace:
I hope all Obedient children will learn to listen to words of advise from elders net time.
Anyway Congratulations to Jagaban!

The internet will never forget all you that supported this man

tafabaloo:
Tinubu is different from Buhari...well schooled and not bereft of good ideas.


Let's pray and hope Nigeria gets better

Well schooled because he was there at the foundation level of his school, being the only student and teacher 4 years before the school was founded.

Don't forget that while he was attending Lagos Government College a decade before the school was founded, he was also reading from home according to Festus Keyamo

You know deep down, you don't want a better country for whatever reason. Imagine hyping certificate forgers as well schooled.



THEY READ AND PASS GCE FROM HOME - SHAMELESS

abbeyfel:
I know Most Obidients will return to calling Nigeria zoo again! What an hypocritical type of people! Most of them though...

Your country is not a zoo, but just to transmit 10kb of election data, they said they couldn't do it, meanwhile, people using techno were even watching/transmitting YouTube.

Some of you just never wanted a better Nigeria, be honest. All you cared about was tribal supremacy

dejonathan:
Where are the 25% abuja people?

The way you guys laugh at others ehn, while supporting destruction of your own country, I just don't know what to call it.

APC supporters, some of you guys are wicked sha, no be lie.

CilicMarin:
I wake up everyday to see Peter Obi supporters cry, their tears are my breakfast, brunch, lunch & dinner. I’ve made it my life’s mission to thrive in their defeat until the end of time....

Congratulations Mr. President Elect.

Their tears are your breakfast?

That's the only reason you voted a certificate forger? Not to build Nigeria, but to make others cry. Na wa for una

What Nigeria needs at this time is an Elon Musk

You people never learn abi wetin be disSsss

I'm getting tired of you people

Get someone that values things like Peter Obi, with the brain of Elon Musk, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE ABSOLUTE FEAR OF GOD

This is obviously a rumor as no site has this rate as of now

Why the rumor though

but why should up to 100 people with normal working brains decide that the best man for the job is one that :-

READ AND PASSED FOR WAEC FROM HOME, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY, GRADUATING FROM LAGOS GOVERNMENT COLLEGE A WHOLE 4 YEARS BEFORE IT WAS EVEN FOUNDED. ONE WHO USED A SET OF CREDENTIALS TO APPLY FOR GOVERNOR AND A DIFFERENT SET FOR PRESIDENCY.

As someone said, when Nigerians are ready, they would know.

I know God causes the rain to fall on both the just and the unjust, cause who of us here is without sin? I do however pray especially for those Nigerians that are going through pains now, but yet, never supported a known criminal like Tinubu. All you wanted/want is a Nigeria that works, but each time, you see the worst of the worst made so called "leaders". May God wipe the tears away from your face and bring unlimited joy into your lives in Jesus name, amen. Joy so much, you won't help but fall to your knees, even in your sin and say "THANK YOU GOD"!

So the problem is not the misappropriation of fund but the leak by a mole from the opposition?

Seriously this people must think we are some kind of low level brain dead animals.


Student loan is #5billion, money for committee on minimum wage is #1billion with 500m released first.

They know how to budget and release funds for themselves bloody bloodsuckers_!!!!

If one keeps the nation's affairs at heart you will die young because it is beyond everything sane or normal.

[/color]

Damn when you put it this way

Is it true though that student loan is just 5 billion? If so, then meeeeen, like, as you said, they can just remove 500 million for useless committee or $500,000 for luxury hotel for 7 days, but student loan is 5 billion for all the students in Nigeria?

Are you sure that 5 billion is not for Abuja students only?

I cant beliieve this men

This guy put it in a different way and it's even more scary.

May God help us all in Jesus mighty name, amen!

Saw this post on twitter (image below)

Lets say a new/certified pre-owned Yaris cost $10,000.

In 2015
This would have cost a Nigerian about N2,000,000 with the exchange rate at the time.

In 2024
This same vehicle, assuming the same price, would cost a Nigerian N15,000,000 at todays exchange rate.

This is ridiculous.

Hez143:
calculate the us price change in %,I want to see something

Still don't think there would be a large instantaneous jump, like a 24 hour jump of more than 100%
