Obama and his cronies should just STFU!!

A bloody riot erupted in Kenya (Obama's birthplace) some time ago, what statements or action did he take? He sponsored more chaotic divisions in Africa than anywhere else by ordering the strikes that killed Muammar Gadaffi, leading to more terror splinter cells terrorizing west Africa till this day. Campaigned against GEJ for refusing his gay law proposition, using Chibok girls. In fact, Obama dey craze! Carry go Donald Trump.!!

Obama as US President was a disaster. He messed up humanity values and mores that kept man sane!

The Dark Side Of Living Abroad Nigerians Don’t Tell You



Every day on Nairaland, Instagram and WhatsApp, we see pictures of Nigerians abroad living “soft life” — big jackets, snow selfies, fine streets, clean trains.

From Nigeria, it looks like once you japa, all your problems are solved.

But the truth?
There’s a dark side of living abroad many Nigerians don’t talk about — especially those already there.


Let’s be honest.


1. Loneliness Will Deal With You


In Nigeria, even if you’re broke, you have people. Neighbours, family, friends, noise, gist.
Abroad?

You can stay months without real human connection.
Everyone is busy. Everyone is tired. Everyone minds their business.


Many Nigerians abroad battle silent depression, but won’t say it because they don’t want people back home saying “you wanted to japa, now see you.”


2. You’ll Work Jobs You Never Imagined
That “abroad” dignity fades fast.
Doctors become caregivers.
Engineers wash dishes.
Graduates do night shifts nobody wants.


Nothing is wrong with honest work — but the mental shock is real, especially when you remember how people respected you back home.


3. Bills Will Humble You
Yes, currency is strong — but expenses are stronger.
Rent.
Tax.
Insurance.
Transport.
Utilities.
You may earn well, yet still be one emergency away from crisis.

That’s why some Nigerians abroad can’t send money home as often as people think.


4. Racism Is Real (Even If It’s Silent)
It’s not always shouting or insults.
Sometimes it’s:
being ignored
being over-policed
being treated like you don’t belong
working twice as hard to be seen as “normal”
You’ll constantly feel like you have to prove yourself.


5. No Family Safety Net
In Nigeria, if things scatter, you can manage:
stay with family
borrow food
get help
Abroad?
If you fall, you fall alone.
Miss rent = eviction.
Lose job = real trouble.
No uncle. No mummy’s friend. No village support.


6. Immigration Stress Can Break You
Waiting for:
papers
visas
renewals
approvals
Living in fear of one mistake ruining years of effort.
That stress is not a joke. Some Nigerians abroad are physically there but mentally exhausted.


7. You Can’t Easily “Come Back”
Once you japa, coming back empty-handed feels like failure — even if you’re tired.
So people endure misery in silence, just to maintain the image of success.


Final Truth
Living abroad is not bad, but it is not paradise.
Nigeria is hard.
Abroad is hard — just in a different way.
Anyone telling you japa will solve all your problems is not telling the full story.
Over to you, Nairalanders 👇

Would you still japa knowing all this?

Nigerians abroad, what’s the hardest part nobody warned you about?
Let’s talk — no packaging.

Life’s challenges found EVERYWHERE!

This is not true all things considered.

I hope the young man who betrayed them is still in the UK.

This life sef....

Their only sin was what they did to save the life of their child. They had a deal with that young man to donate his kidney, he wasn't tricked into it, he would be rewarded accordingly, but he chose to betray them soon as he landed in the UK, claiming they wanted to harvest his organ.

Welcome back Madam.

You have not asked yourself why both criminals did not donate their own organs or that of their relatives. The young man was smarter than the wicked and exploitative criminal couple!

The day after his tenure is over he will report at Iyaganku. Only foolish civil servants will help him cook the books.

In 1977 how many Nigerians not from the North could boast of this level of comfort?

TechToyin:
Many people are happy that food prices are coming down. On the surface, it looks like good news. But there is a serious danger most people are not talking about.

Cheaper food is good for consumers, but not always good for farmers
While buyers enjoy relief, many farmers are selling at a loss.

Cost of farming is still very high
Fertilizer, diesel, transport, labour, and insecurity are still expensive. Prices fell, costs did not.

Farmers are losing capital
Most Nigerian farmers use money from the last harvest to fund the next season. Losses now mean no money later.

Many farmers may not plant next season
When farmers cannot afford seeds, fertilizer, or labour, they reduce production or quit entirely.

This leads to future food shortages
Less planting today means less food tomorrow, which will push prices up again.

Nigeria has no strong price support system
There are no effective minimum price guarantees or working buffer stock programs to protect farmers.

Poor storage forces distress sales
Because farmers can’t store food, they rush to sell during harvest when prices are lowest.

Middlemen and traders also suffer losses
Oversupply and weak demand affect the entire value chain, not just farmers.

Price instability scares investors away
Serious investors avoid agriculture when prices swing wildly from profit to loss.

Low prices today can mean hunger tomorrow
If farmers collapse, Nigeria will depend more on imports and face worse food inflation later.

Bottom line:
The problem is not high prices or low prices. The real problem is unstable prices.
If Nigeria does not protect farmers now, today’s cheap food will become tomorrow’s food crisis.

The government has to step in and buy back from farmers to stabilize prices.

Very few supposedly successful but wealthy Lawyers in Abuja can openly state how they make money. The Garki Branch would appear to be celebrating their ATM! Stinks 😷!

Just watch a brilliant Lawyer handle the matter and both sides to the tussle will be left with their mouths open!

True that! If there were you should be in jail for running down banks and sundry other matters!

Not a nice idea to work against God and raid the other room of a traditional ruler -bad consequences follow such conduct.

Mission accomplished! By the way, see Ogboni Lawyer well identified for obvious reasons. The Lawyer no get shame sef! He is fully into the secret society stuff - belonging to the Reformed One (Blue Badge) and the Local and supposedly deadlier one (Red Badge). He is a double barrelled Ogboni!

I am inclined to think that it is a deliberate action on the part of OGSG aimed at keeping Ogun State residents within the State and reducing the tendency for them to do business in Lagos State that has the market population which drives business and economic growth sought after by all.

An Abroad-based Nigerian man has been reportedly deported from Europe after returning a lost wallet to the police, an act of honesty that unexpectedly exposed his immigration status.

In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter) by AsakyGRN, the man recounted how the Nigerian found a lost wallet and decided to do the right thing by taking it to the police station.

However, when officers asked for his ID, he was unable to provide one.

It was later discovered that he was living in the country as an illegal immigrant, leading to his eventual deportation.

The story triggered emotional reactions online. One commentator wrote, “This world no balance. Person do good, na punishment follow.”

Another said, “[b]Law is law. The police did their jo[/b]b.” Others expressed sympathy, with one user saying, “He chose honesty over survival. That’s painful.”

The incident has once again highlighted the harsh realities of undocumented life abroad, where even good intentions can come with serious consequences.

Watch video below…

A steady flow of South-Eastern Royalty and VIPs visiting him should his life jail term a fleeting thing. He dribbled himself into a bind urged on by the deluded band of Lawyers in his legal team who argue blindly and upside down talking wal instead of Law.

Lawyer, Godspower Egbule has said Fubara’s impeachment proceedings must strictly follow constitutional provisions, warning that court intervention at an early stage would be premature.

Egbule said, “At this point, it would be too hasty for anybody to reach the court,” adding that, “The three arms of government are circumscribed by the provisions of the Constitution.”

“It would be ultra vires for the legislature to make moves that are outside the provisions of the Constitution. It would also be ultra vires by the judge and the court to make orders that are outside the provisions of the Constitution.”

He anchored his argument on Section 188 of the Constitution, describing the impeachment process as clearly defined and sequential. “Section 188 is clear. First, a third majority, a notice of impeachment, is given to the Speaker. The Speaker sends a notice of impeachment to the governor. After that, by a motion of a third majority, that motion is now adopted by the House of Assembly and sent to the Chief Judge to set up a seven-man panel,” he said.

Rufai is a cut-to-size gun meaning that he typically misfires and is grossly inaccurate. That way he is easier to conceal in the Arise TV Studio outside of which he has very little relevance not having been tutored at any Journalism Institute to be a Journalist. I guess he is enjoying his hobby.

Is stable electricity available in Nigeria? Is security better and improving on a daily basis? Is corruption met with the consequences it deserves? Hire lobbyists everywhere with all you have if you do not answer those three questions in the affirmative it is like fetching water into a basket -work done zero!

Truth is, it was not meant to be popular. It was meant to stand you out in the crowd.

This has been late in coming. The NBA has behave like it did not know about the Judgment. So also BOSAN. What country we live in and they expect the world to take Law Practice in Nigeria seriously. Little wonder, some foreign investors want to bring in their Lawyers with them as a precondition for investing in Nigeria.
