He is actually right.Chapel Hill Denham was actually founded and still owned by Bolaji Balogun who is the son of the late FCMB founder Otunba Subomi Balogun. This is a fact that I've known since years ago like the palm of my hands.

Except if you are not interested in the truth. I dont know the essence of this completely false publication.

Exactly. This is a known fact.

Mindlog:
I came to the UK through study route, for my specialty in Clinical Child Psychology and now working as a CAMHS Neurodevelopmental Assessment Practitioner and on the pathway of achieving my UK Psychotherapist license.that is me living my dreams and wouldn't have achieved that in Nigeria.

Some people need to "japa to grow" while some would be okay with their growth in their home countries.

Basic living constitutes not being homeless, not going hungry nor getting hit by the elements because of inappropriate clothing for the prevailing weather.

If those same guys happen to be in Nigeria, they would still engage in crime because their cores are disconnected from earning a honest living.....why didn't they stop after scamming their first £150,000, meaning each getting £50,000 which is the 25 months earnings of those "slaving" themselves in the UK?

But even in the same UK, there are homeless people on the streets, there are old people who cannot afford to turn on their heating during winter, and many unfortunately pass on during cold periods, there are children who only get a decent meal from school.

MT's point is no country is perfect, including the Western countries Nigerians tend to idolize. So those aspiring to japa should set realistic expectations.

Lifted07:
The phrase "Three God-fearing' no clear. Could someone please explain? Or what figure of speech is this I the matter at hand?

Oxymoron, lol. E shock me too.

MrBrownJay1:
A) didnt the "pastor" get a holy vision from his god that this was gonna happen?
B) pastor was so busy wasting church money going on holiday in Spain, rather than use that money to get his children/father SWIMMING LESSONS!

They lived in the UK, going on holiday to Spain wouldn't have been a big deal. Regardless of your religious leanings, try to have some empathy.

Have you told your parents this

So they can start prayer and fasting for him on time, coupled with periodic family meetings

Winneepye:
The labour president and his exco know the government is incapable of paying that amount but they just want to make things difficult for the present administration. If Obi had been the president they would have requested for 40k and let him be .
When government pays 900k to messengers and drivers permanent secretaries salary will become 2m. Then inflation sets In. Labour leaders are funny people .

Obi this, Obi that, even on topics that have nothing to do with him, you must call his name. This kind of obsession surely can't be healthy.

Blackestjunior:
For this great Tinubulation you still get money to by parrot 🦜
You money na in plural form oo...e go too long like lorry

Hahahaha!

@ OP, these are the dangers of being 'inspired' by Tiktok, lol.

MrDIY:
It all lies on the financial power of the buyer.

Exactly.

EmmyMaestro:
Just imagine walking home on a dark night then you turn around and see this. This is why we don't celebrate Halloween in this part of the world because some of the things you will see on that day might not be costumes

hahaha

Hmm. Depends on the customer and their liquidity. A person that has only 40k available to spend can only go for Option A, while a person who has enough cash at their disposal will likely go for Option B.

This is assuming the item is non-perishable or can be consumed in a reasonable period of time which I think is the case with rice, otherwise no one will go for option b at all.

Topman7:
Oh please stop this nonsense.

Betting is part and parcel of football.

It is even small scale in Nigeria.

In Europe and the US, virtually EVERYONE bets in all kinds of sports, not just football.

If you are good at it, you can pocket good, hard cash that you can use for business or whatever you want.

Betting has saved many guys, so just chill abeg.

First go and research the downsides of betting even in the countries you are using as your yardstick. At least they have protections in place because they recognize the dangers. Here, people wallowing in poverty and no mental health or any other kind of support are being ruined by betting each day.

A person who bets will eventually lose all, it's a question of time.

phemyokunrin:
When Okocha was Enugu state FA chairman, he couldn't perform. So he is good at showbiz and betkung

Supporting betting companies seems to be his area these days, unfortunately. Someone that could have been a positive influence on the youths is instead helping them destroy their lives further.

Nigerians and conspiracy theories, smh.

The annoying thing is "the sessions commenced daily at 10:00 am and concluded at 2:30 pm" - I'm sure a break was included, so that's less than 4 hours work per day. Later these ones will call themselves patriotic Nigerians. Shame on them!!

Ykc2:
If you know benue and level of poverty in benue state you won't even read this, the level of criminality in benue state from herdsmen to benue militant attacking each other to cultism, what of tiv and junkun war ,benue is terrible

But at least they are taking a step to turn the state around, or are you saying things should be left as it is?

01mcfadden:
I just started mine, too.
I’ve acquired 20 acres for 10 years at #400k
But my intention is to use the money I earmarked to it to the full extent it will go on the land.
I want to make sure it enters 10 acres and I can expand later when I get more money.
The labor will cost money. The guy I brought from Togo is asking for a brand new Bajaj motorcycle after a year.
But he will be the one taking care of the farm while I provide food and shelter close to the farm. That has been sorted.


My plan is to process it to garri, elubo, lafu, pupuru and even fufu.
I pray God help me o
I’ll still create a thread on the progress made.

All the very best. I wish you success.

Esude007:
Let's do the math, we have 2.5 acre in 1 hectare, if we plant using 1m by 1m configuration, we will have 10,000 stands, but I will advice you to use 0.9m by 0.9m to get 12,300 stands. If you follow good Agronomic practice, you can have 3kg yield per stand. 3kg * 12300.... 36900kg.

We have 1000kg in 1 tonne, so 36900kg divided by 1000kg will be 36.9 tonnes

Going by the current price in the market, 1 tonne of fresh cassava tuber is #65,000, that give us...... #2,398,5000

I like your mathematical approach, just one question - how do you factor in risks into your formula? The reality is things do not always go to plan so risk management needs to be included in any projections.

YesDaddyTill203:
The only thing in your shallow brain is APC. People are discussing how to make money and make meaningful contributions to society but na only APC dey your brain. Pathetic.

Read through your post history and tell us the difference between you and the person you quoted. None. Two toxic individuals.

chopnaira:
Mazi Oke is a Clown. His wife is a friend to Betty's wife. He has failed before he even started.

You clearly failed before you could even articulate your point.

Okay, so you are asking mods to move it to FP so you can get solutions from anyone that can help - emphasis anyone. Hope you can see the folly in exhibiting tribalism because at the end of the day you will need people to help you with one thing or the other regardless of where they are from.

While watching the event, I thought I heard wrong when he mentioned consoling the WIDOW.

Karlifate:
That kinda action is caused by low self-esteem.

That's why you hear them say: "Do you know who I am?"


The need to always show/prove yourself for external validation, stems from low self-esteem. 👌

Infact, it seems you're not far from the truth, because coincidentally someone on Page 7 mentioned what you just described.

Tripleoluwa:
This baba checked into an hotel around Leeki and met this fine newly recruited receptionist girl that I know. The baba was used to warm reception from staffs and former receptionist any time he checked in.

pansophist:
If the two fools are committed and understand marriage as a duty and sacrifice to the other, then it will last. I doubt if there is love in a polygamous home, but many want it to work, hence it last.

Many times I feel like breaking a bottle of some of my loved ones' heads, they annoy me to by bone marrow, and perhaps, I annoy the hell out of them too.

But if a passerby thinks because I am arguing with my brother, then he can come and interfere, I and my bro will set our beef aside, deal with the passerby wotowoto, then settle our grievances over a bottle of palm wine.

We (I and my bro) are two individuals and are meant to have conflicts, but the conflict will never uproot our love, duty, and sacrifice to each other. The conflict will make us understand our redlines, and try not to cross them anymore.

Marriage should be like that. Fight all you want, but your fight is meaningless if you guys don't learn from each other through that fight. Lots of people don't see marriage as teamwork. They don't see it as suffering.

When they read the ''forever for worse'' in the alter, to them, it's just something they have to do, not a pledge they have to keep. If intending couples understand the power of that pledge, many will be very careful of who they get married to.

I may hire the best assassins in Nigeria to assassinate the president, but they probably won't be successful. But his wife will do it tonight, clean. Also if one marries a person due to the nonsense young people call spec, I pity them.

Ten years more, your so-called spec will add weight, God forbid, get sick and be in a wheelchair, or something worse. Then attraction is gone, and the only thing that will keep you guys is character.

That when you remember two years ago when you were job searching and your wife held it down for you, and other rich men were chasing her then and she resisted the temptation, to show you that she is committed.

Taking care of such a woman in her tough period will be so easy. It's the same thing good parents enjoy. I don't joke with my parents. They are the only people who can ask me for anything (not stupid things obviously) and I will never say no.

And it is simply because their love for me is not in their mouth, it's in their action. They raised me well and didn't scatter my siblings to different oga for apprenticeship.

When my head wanted to turn, they beat nonsense comot from my body. They kept away their differences and made sure they created a stable home for the kids to grow.

Sometimes I wake up at midnight to pee and hear them argue, and the next morning, you will see them laugh and act like no argument happened before.

They created a good, safe, and peaceful home to grow. So tell me, how dare I not treat them well?


If people go into marriage to make it work, then it will work. But if anything, you are already angry and want to exit, then realize that you are getting older, you will laugh or regret your past stubbornness, but what you built will be what will save you.

Sorry, just had to quote you so I can read this again another time.
God bless your parents richly, they did what many parents fail to do these days, i.e. prioritizing the interest of the family/children ahead of their individual differences. Really commendable. Thanks for sharing.

Eunoiaa:
Ohhh, they are blaming her?

Foolish men. 😂😂

I haven't gone through their comments yet.


But they used to use Folorunsha Alakija as lesson point for young women o. 🤣🤣

I think she also came out one time to say she still even cook for her husband or something despite her being a billionaire.

Dem nor let us hear word for Internet.

And you're absolutely right. Because her staying married was really great for APPEARANCES. And would have continued to be a good PR, but at some point, it just might not be worth it anymore.

I remember! She said she used to wash his undies too, lmaoooooo.

Like, I mean, whyyyy? She literally had no reason saying that or to pander 😭😭. She's Alakija. Even if you want to cosplay virtue, and wife materiality, e really get some kind embarrassing stage...ohh.

Let me go and see what my favourite feminist Ijay waya waya has to say about this.

I was shocked that almost no comment considered the issue could be from the husband with the exception of one or two, they all just started blaming the woman, that it's because she is RICH. That is her offence. Smh.

easyfem:
If u are in abroad , it’s easy for u to pay , I mean better abroad oooo

folake4u:
Yes. I remember this story quite well.

Yep. Meanwhile most comments are blaming the woman, writing epistles about not marrying rich women, without any consideration for how the husband might have played a role. I am sure she would have preferred to "stay married" if for nothing else but for appearances. To have reached this point of separation meant she likely had had it up to here.

Karlifate:
The dude filmed Mr Modupe for not using face mask, intending to report him with evidence.

He was about going when Mr Modupe asked him to delete the video, and that was how it escalated.

Hmm, it shows that he is not able to control himself and that says a lot. Secondly, why was he breaking the rules re: face mask, maybe he felt he was above the law. Either way, both actions say a lot about him.

Quite sad.
I remember he was banned from Ikoyi club for some time because he assaulted someone, so possibly has anger issues. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. I wish them well.

Rightly so. If you want to japa, then fully japa, don't do one leg in one leg out while depriving those that could fill your position.

I can see some of those that are always quick to abuse the president and call the government corrupt praising a yahoo boy's tactics on the first page and even asking to learn under him. Smh.

deji17:
Eboe again.

See ignorance on full display. You clearly have not passed the perimeters of wherever you were born to not know Isoko is NOT Igbo.
