That is where ethnicity mentality brought us to in Nigeria. My brother, if it is OBI, the president today and Yoruba people are grumble, Ibo will still support him despite the fact that they are suffering , just as Hausas were during Buhari.

you're absolutely right. I also observed that from my end. Ethnicity. That is one of our problems. Only the wise ones find a way out of this mess. I am a yoruba guy but i cannot support Tinubu. When i am not foolish

LikeAking:
I am happy u are asking this question.

Poverty in Nigeria is over exaggerated.

it is not over exaggerated

An average Nigerians cannot afford 3 square meal daily
An average Nigerians cannot afford a bag of rice presently
An average Nigerians cannot afford a car which ought to be a necessity
An average Nigerians doesn't have access to quality healthcare
An average Nigerians doesn't have access to clean water
An average Nigerians under 7 children are malnourished


I can always go on and on

GeneralDae:
The fact that the family can afford to do that is testament to what the OP is saying.

which testament? Keep decieving yourself

iHateFraudsters:
So you're telling me that nobody in the family paid money to acquire the landed properties?

Yes

iHateFraudsters:
And the person that he inherited it from, how did he acquire it?

Same through inheritance. Family inheritance, while your emilokan came to make life difficult for Nigerians. Hence, the need to sell it off

gigfx:
It is getting close to that for me too, left to me I don't want to travel abroad. I like Nigeria die. The fear of not knowing what you will meet abroad self they worry me then.

But I don't have to think about my own alone. I can manage anyhow, but the children na the priority. I don't need to stay Nigeria till when my children school will start sending reminder upon reminder for school fees even though am not paying house rent oo. I still feel all that Emiofiole policies.

Cardoso too don start him own now. I just dey imagine if I still dey Nigeria how I go survive all this them policy. And u will think all their party member are enjoying not until last week one of them call me to come borrow him money. Shame even they him voice self. But I got to pity him tho.

honestly speaking i don't think i can survive this Tinubu government. The man might be worst than Buhari.

gaskiyamagana:
When Man U no do well again, make one no commot dey for Arsenal?

you're right. I pray God grant you your heart desires 🙏

But come to think of it, some of this Tinubu supporters are still supporting him, some with empty stomach, some jobless, some with meagre pay as salary and they keep supporting him

I don't understand, are they really normal?

PastorFire:

WorldRichest:
He has cleared the backlog at Passport Issuance Office.

Give him Credit for that.

how does that affect the livelihood of an average Nigerians?

gigfx:
I sold my house and everything to Japa and I am not regretting it. Thanks to my wife that have good foresight. I know how much I pay on school fees alone in Nigeria while here school is free for my kids, I only pay for food £12 per week.

While in Nigeria before the month end like this, I am already looking for who to borrow money from to fuel car to go to work.

Within 6 months I know how much I don safe here in the UK despite working part time oo because of the kids, If I wan build another house for Nigeria I can do it but I won't.

For you to know how terrible things are in Nigeria, if I tell my 5 years old daughter that we are going back to Nigeria. She will start begging me that daddy no oo am not going I like it here.

Most average Nigerians cannot even afford to feed

gaskiyamagana:
Although I am for TINUBU, l love your 2nd paragraph comment. Do you think you will not do the same if you are TINUBU and you are eyeing that position?
To your 1st paragraph, in the name of Amodia, Sango, Ogun and Jesus (of yours), my japa Visa to Canada will be obtained before yours, Ameen, Amen, Aasee.

Lol

You're for Tinubu and you want to Japa? What a life

iHateFraudsters:
And how was the landed properties acquired?

inheritance and sold to the diasporans

olola4:
Nigeria has a very large population that’s why the average ones as you have said are overshadowing others but I will tell you also for a fact that there are rich and comfortable people in Nigeria compared to other country.

If your country is good people will not be running away from it. Did you see Americans or Canadians begging for our visa? Tell your leaders to do the needful

Obakoolex:
So those landed properties are being bought by paper right?

most of those properties are bought by the diasporans

FitCorper:
I can bet my left balls some japa people are already regretting leaving Nigeria.

jealousy will not kill you and your likes

iHateFraudsters:
And why can't they sell the landed properties and use it to start a business?

business in which country?

olola4:
This is a very big argument and I can say that proverty rate is really exaggerated.

The rate at which people are making millions in Nigeria is mind blowing and no where in the world do people make such money in savings even in UK, Canada and US.

Keep decieving yourself
When you're done decieving yourself you go go sleep

An average Nigerians cannot afford 3 square meal daily
An average Nigerians cannot afford a bag of rice presently
An average Nigerians doesn't have a car which ought to be a necessity
An average Nigerians doesn't have access to quality healthcare
An average Nigerians doesn't have access to clean water
An average Nigerians children below 7 are malnourished
Take this to the bank

Princewill1:
One major problem in Nigerian is the Herd Mentality syndrome.

Once you start up any trend in Nigeria that promises to bring in fortune. The rest of the population will blindly and quickly jump into it without applying due diligence. Check Pos business, Content creation, MMM etc other African countries don't behave this way.

Those that will lose on this trend are the ones who have something meaningful doing in Nigeria and those who sold solid properties to Japa.

Hardship is everywhere, is only dvmb people that doesn't know it.

You can never compare the hardships in Nigeria to that of the US and other saner clines. Hardship for US no worst reach say make they no see food chop unlike Nigeria where an average Nigerians cannot afford 3 square meal daily

SaintUlot:
With the rate at which Nigerians are leaving Nigeria, you will think with N50k you can japa from that country. Every Tom, Dick and Harry have left, the remaining ones are just waiting to buy their flight ticket.

I doubt if we still have up to 1 million people left in Nigeria at this time. So where is that multidimensional poverty statistics coming from? If almost everybody can afford the cost of Japa that doesn't come cheap. This makes me to come to the conclusion that, Nigerians might not have money in their bank account, but majority have tangible assets that can be easily converted to cash if the need arises.

poverty is not exaggerated in Nigeria. We're over 200 millions people in Nigeria. Check the statistics online to see for yourself. Less than 10 millions can afford to relocate. What does that tell you?

ezenwaez:
The minister said latest by January I posted a video link showing exactly what the minister said.

Pastorfire go die put for your hand with wetin you dey talk o

Exceed15:
Oga forget it . Infact the marriages that are packing up are even more than those ones on social media. People change in marriage . If u like over do for any woman , u go hear am later.

check your family, how many failed marriages have you seen?

In my family I've seen none. I mean both my father and mother family

Check your neighbourhood. How many failed marriages have you seen?

tollyboy5:
That one is for you and your people not me .
Respect is meant for both party and provision is meant for both party while the man takes the leading role. Her contribution is necessary, the said lady so far contributed only her virginity and nothing more.
If a woman went to school to come back as an house wife then i'll rather go look for a young village girl to use as house wife. But if she's a graduate she don't have to useless to herself.
The little thing she could provide for herself will make me support her more.

Oh!
You mean a woman should have something doing no matter how little right? Yes you're right. But there's no formula to all these. Some men do set up their women and they live happily. Some prefer her a house wife and they live happily. My mum for instance was a house wife and their marriage was forever glowing. Just like some women looking for rich men, instead of a man who has a steady job or business, his own apartment either rent or owned, a man with vision, prospect, a man that love and respect you. If they're lucky to meet a rich man fine. The former should be the standard. Most women of nowadays don't even want to be a housewife, but some men prefer them to be housewife for several reasons. First, to look after the home, some men are naturally jealous by nature so they prefer she stays at home, some men sleep with other women outside so they have this believe that their wives aren't safe etc

In summary, men are the sole provider in family while women only support (though not all women as some men prefer to be the only provider)

However, change your mentality that a full housewife is wrong. I have seen many marriages living happily while the woman is a house wife. I have also seen marriages tearing apart despite the woman having something doing (not a house wife)

A woman's money is not a yardstick or determinant to keep a family together

RosyIsBlessed:


See person wey dey disgrace himself and family here on top 30k. U get that high hand u for dey bit.ter like this ontop 30k. This gateman sef.

Pastorfire na every week npower dey promise to pay u

Try get small sense na

tollyboy5:
Where do "pay your bills" came in from the whole topic?
Her virginity and my bills are the two things in a marriage? taleleyi gan! alaye get lost!

Then tell us what you want from a woman.

At least we all know a man is expected to love and provide, while a woman respect and be submissive

Oya tell us wetin you want again

tollyboy5:
What do you mean by "as an african woman" ? is that the best African women you knew can offer?

Tell us what do you expect from a woman.

Pay your bills?

tollyboy5:
Ok but what has she done for him? aside "i am a virgin"?

what do you want her to do for him as an African woman?

oluwaseyi0:
I keep telling people this but emotional misgonist nairaland kids won't hear

some of you men don't know what you want. When a girl is approaching 30 you believe she's old. A girl in her early 20s is too young and not mature for marriage, bla bla bla

My sister was 23 when she got married and her marriage is 16 years living happily

There's no one formula to all these

flokii:
Ladies nowadays are not worth it, sorry to say... If not for kids and family settings, most men won't have business with today's women. Sex is cheap, infact too cheap so that's out of the picture.

The world has gone wrong.. the girls that expect to get married tomorrow are now into hookups, escorts, prostituti0n like it's no man's business. Tomorrow, their parents will be drawing up lists for wedding for same h0es using their bodies anyhow now. Just annoying.

Those hookup girls are they sleeping with themselves or with your fellow men? Women also do say if not for children, they won't have anything to do with Men. And the truth is that na we men no fit do without these women.

It is easier for women to stay without sex than we men

spiSeyi:
I just know why God chose Mary mother of Jesus because she is not the only virgin then Mary had what most women lack and that's submission.
Most women are only humble because they lack money or power, their true color will be shown as soon as they get what they want.
Marry remained humble and submissive to her husband and other elders even though she was the mother of the savior.

Lol

You want to compare Joseph to the calibre of Men we have these days? Men of now a days that sleep with anything under skirt? Same men that rape and even sleep with their daughters?

Dey play

Exceed15:
I have always said it that the humble, quiet and respectful girl you are dating now will turn tiger when she enter the marriage. Don't over do for any woman because she will forget.

There are more successful marriage than failed ones if you care to know. Stop using the few failed marriages you see on social media to make general statement.

Suncity1705:
Thanks..noted

you can't claim to love a girl without giving.
