They are our clients that relocated between 2015 - 2024. 50 is even a fair estimate for PH alone. Owerri, Warri and the baba of them all is Lagos.
They all Japa to Western countries majorly US, Canada, Australia, some to Germany and Switzerland for different reasons. Infact I know a US MIT trained Engr working in a major oil company then that was kidnapped twice in 6 months that left Nigeria with his family immediately.
If you have been in Nigeria, you should know what has been happening since 2015 and why they are leaving.

Gerrard59:
I'm genuinely curious, these people that left Port Harcourt, where did the majority flee to? Those that left Lagos, to where please?

Why are they running?

So you mean to tell me that the 1900 naira bread the poor can only offer is what drives a multimillion dollar business? Like seriously?
The upper middle class are mostly the Industrialists, Business men, Civil Servants in Managerial positions in govt offices and staff of MNC's in the oil, finance and services sectors.
The lower Middle class are mid level civil servants, Artisans and SME's entrepreneurs.
For a large scale FMCG business to survive in any area, the upper middle class is highly needed. They buy things in bulk because of their purchasing power.
The lower middle class hardly buy things in bulk and they mostly patronize local markets that are much cheaper.
Can a school principal or staff of Ministry of Agriculture for example spend 800k in one sitting just to stock up on food and groceries?

I understand this is a faceless forum but some of us are seasoned professionals in our fields and speak from experience.

What makes Shop rite an upper middle class biz?
It's either you don't know what an upper middle class biz is or you are one of those that read textbooks and want to apply it to anything you come across.
A shop that all cadres of people visited because of it's considerate prices and it's uniqueness and ambience.
The truth is that cost of transportation and drastically curtailed purchasing power across board has dealth a blow on super stores like that.
Now you must either have a car to go shopping there or your biz or work path is along any of the locations,so you can easily branch to get some stuff.
Previously people of lower class could just take a cheap bus fare just to go to Shoprite to buy even just bread or hang around for the fun of it.
They can't now because it doesn't make any sense to spend 2-3k on transportation just to buy a 1900 bread.

I been think say na only me get sense for here, we dey two now

Doctorova:
Dry skit.......

If BAT can play this ball like Obi did, me , my family and my village will vote for him. I will personally campaign for him free of charge.
I'm waiting

Due to the nature of my business, I can confirm at least 50 upper middle class families with huge purchasing power I did business with that left Port Harcourt alone. The ones in Lagos is countless.
ShopRite is an upper middle class business. They left and there's no one to buy. The iPhone girls and broke boys only go there to snap pictures and look for clients to hook up with.

Even though I am against the thuggery and toutism style Tinubu is using to rule Lagos, I support Yoruba people to crucify anybody calling Lagos a no mans land.
You lots should respect your host and go back to develop your region if you don't like Lagos, however, every Nigerian have every right to live anywhere in Nigeria be it Sokoto or Enugu and should not be discriminated in anyway.

Shes an amazon. Fearless and brave . While the cabals were trying to impersonate Yar'adua with probably a body double to continue running the Presidency, she came out openly and blew the cover, this motivated the Senate to invoke the doctrine of necessity and swear in GEJ.
It will take another 300 years before Nigeria will ever have somebody like her. If at all we will still have a country by then.

I was listening to a BBC documentary about Northern regional government and all the persons interviewed spoke pure clean English that sounded exactly British infact even students in Northern Universities interviewed spoke pure British English.
But today, the case is different when you listen to Educated Northerners speak. What changed?
As a matter of fact, the Northern tongue is more suited for pure undiluted English speaking than the thick southern tongue.

I visited a police station to have an extract of a robbery report I made a week earlier for insurance purposes. To my surprise, a female constable typed the report for me from their police log with hunch back computer.
Our police stations are under funded. Bashing them for collecting money before they render any service is unfair sometimes.

SmartPolician:
The last time I visited a police station, I didn't see a computer. Does it mean we have an analogue police?

Nigeria Police should have a database (like WAEC) where people can buy scratch cards to get the criminal records of all Nigerians, including the president's.

In fact, there should be interministerial collaborations among the judiciary, interior, defence and police affairs to maintain the database of all Nigerians who have a criminal past.

You know hear the name of the place where it happened "Colorado" . The pilots are likely on colos

Nonexisting1:
United Crash of America is at it again. Saner clime indeed.

Allah will open up her brains and fill it with knowledge Amin

Op as for your moniker, you are among those that put Nigeria in this condition and will definitely get the punishment for it. It's an assurance.

As early as 2023, once I come back from outside work after 3 weeks away from home. I will use the work bonus payment alone to shutdown the local market, freezer fully stuffed, my car and generator tanks filled to the brim and for the one week I will spend at home, I will flex all week generator on 24/7 with just savings from feeding and bonus yet my salary will not be touched but if I should live that kind of life now, both the savings from feeding, bonus and the entire salary will be gone in one week.
This man really messed up the little joy Nigerians dey get seriously

I guess you mean the opposite?
Igbo's never supported him for one day. They are of the opinion that FG used him to derail MNK .

I laugh in Ijebu and smile in Ijesha.

You will all learn the hard way.

Good news!

Please don't make racist and tribalistic comments on this section

Who coordinated the agreement with bandits that just happened in Katsina?

In Fela's voice
"I be African man original "
This is how original African man is supposed to do things. Not all these weaklings we have these days

He will drag fourth position with Sowore actually.
You think Presidential election is this charade they did last week?
Many Nigerians including myself don't actually participate in state elections. Na Presidential election we dey carry for head. Let me see who will do nonsense in my ward in 2027 when boys are not smiling.

The problem is that my prick no dey rise for this kind of ladies.
A woman should remain a woman with her sweet, nerve calming and feminine nature that can tame a beast.

Husband scarcity I guess.

I used to regard Riverains as strong willed people that always resist injustice on them but I already withdrawn my respect for them.
Abia people took their destiny in their hands and resisted the powers that be. Today they are enjoying while other states are busy blaming Tinubu.
Imagine Okezie Ikpeazu as the god father of Abia state today?
Rivers people mumu never do yet

Make una no too follow Imo state ooo, that state is a quiet gold mine, unknown to anybody. If I say Imo state is the richest state in Nigeria currently folks will look me somehow but mark this post, it will make sense in the next 10 years

The greatest crime a woman can commit against a man is not murder, it is bringing in another man's child without the man knowing their by extinguishing the man's bloodline.

If you married her a non virgin, do DNA test first before you even touch the child she bore for you.
If she's a single mother, run like your life depends on it.

They gave you Foreign Affairs, Agriculture and Defence but you are not contented
Are you aware the foreign affairs Minister is a Super Minister who coordinates all Nigeria's foreign interest?

IJAYA001:
See the juicy portfolio of south east compare to that of south west.

Dey play

Is it any different from what is happening today? In 2015, we joined hands with our so called brothers to remove a government we thought is not doing well at the time only to realize our mistakes. In trying to correct the mistake, we discovered that while we were fighting for good governance, our brothers were actually fighting for ethnic superiority and dominance but played along with us .

But Japan completely decimated Russia in the Russia -Japanese war. I guess you don't know your history

Back in the days e dey hard before you convince a girl with all your sweet mouth and money join. You go toast tire make the babe no gree if you get money to spend on her.
This days you don't need to waste time, just name a price and she's all yours. The excitement of catching a new babe with your manliness no dey again

EarthKing:
The female child need reorientation. Their mentality is so wack in recent time. If you have any sinister mind towards them, they are so easy to kpai... Walai! Just like giving corn to a foul that'd later end up in your pot of soup.

NB: I'm not in anyway making excuses for the culprit. He should be made to face the full punishment of the law.

Cameroun with some indigenous Calabar people is not a West African country ?
Are Calabar people West Africans?

Pacesetter123:
But you recognize Ukraine as a European country,bah?

When a community gather to kill their brave warrior, they regret their action in times of war.
Completely crippling the German war machinery exposed Europe. Any Tom, Dick and Harry can challenge them.
Note: I don't recognize Russia as an European country

Osanoghodua1:
Let EU go all in war with Russia, let them go all in , imagine a WW3 without the Germaners
