You captured the true picture, but that on Wike's head is not true.
Wike's head is very small and with no substance, such that a piece of meat its equivalent is not enough for a small domestic cat to gulp at a go.

The magic thing about leaving your homeland is that.... it feels good to leave but... it feels even more and more better to come back


No place like home..
God created the whole world and placed human beings in it. He did not call or create the name of any specific country !
Wherever God blesses you and grants you success, peace, prosperity, comfort and good health is your home
God told Abraham to leave where he was and go to a place where God would bless him abundantly. That new place is Abraham's home.
Abraham would have been a failure and completely messed up big time if he still remained where he was.

Truly,No place like home..

How many of the descendants of those we captured and sold to Arabs and whites as slaves think this way? Slaves that were sold for alcohol, tobacco, mirrors, fabrics, umbrellas etc.

Can you imagine that we insisted on continuing after William Wilberforce convinced his fellow oyinbos to abolish the criminal trade. shocked

Why do we hate ourselves so much

anonimi:
The often cited biography titled Madame Tinubu: Merchant and King-maker, authored by Nigerian historian Oladipo Yemitan, paints her views regarding slave trading.

On one occasion, during her final sojourn in Abeokuta, she was alleged to have sold a young boy into slavery and was accused of it. When arraigned before Ogundipe Alatise over the matter, she reportedly explained: 'I have a large house-hold and I must feed them well. I need money to do that, that's why'.

— Oladipo. Yemitan, 'Madame Tinubu: Merchant and King-maker'

Another section of Yemitan's Tinubu biography, referred to as the Amadie-Ojo Affair, captures a slave trading deal gone sour in 1853 (notably after the 1852 Treaty abolishing slavery in Lagos) wherein Tinubu tells another slave trader (Domingo Martinez) that "she would rather drown the slaves [20 in number] than sell them at a discount".

How are you sure that we don't miss drinking faecal water from boreholes in the same compound with septic tanks and soakaways? Is that not what gives us potbellies and opportunistic diseases

Lawmaker scores Lagos Water Corporation low

A Lagos State lawmaker, Mr Saka Fafunmi, on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction at the performance of the state Water Corporation.

Fafunmi, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), said in Ikeja that the corporation had not been able to justify statutory allocations to it.

The lawmaker, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1 at the assembly, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He said that the corporation had the capacity to generate much fund internally through water rates but had relied solely on government funding because of poor performance.

'' Anyone that is using water will be willing to pay for it; the corporation has not been giving us water.

"Is there any new community that Water Corporation has given water? People depend on boreholes; even government estates have industrial boreholes.

"Why do we keep pumping money into an agency that does not give us the desired results?'' he asked.

He noted that the Adiyan Waterworks was located at Ifako-Ijaiye, where many of the residents had resorted to digging boreholes as a means of getting water.

''A lot of people are falling sick because they don't drink clean water.

''In the same compound, where you have sewage, is where you have a borehole.

''There is no way you can manage the sewage that it will not leak and pollute the water; everyone drinking such is drinking contaminated water,'' he said.

The lawmaker urged the corporation to increase water reticulation and supply to residents.

Op forgot to add the most important.

The Community spirit.

Irrespective of our differences, we always have that community spirit of raise and train children together. We sometimes party and merry together here.

In Nigeria, you always have that sense that at your worst, you will always relocate back to your village or go squat with your sister or brother. It’s all man for himself in that world. They will only tolerate for a while before you out.

Not a world where you might not even know your neighbor for a decade, and even when you see his/her child doing something extremely wrong, you act like you didn’t see it.

(2) The women:
The dating market in Nigeria is straightforward. If you have something to offer, you are instantly a major stakeholder with majority market shares. The women are beautiful, physically endowed and accessible. Abroad, the fact that a figure parades some boobs doesn’t make the person a female. Things are so complicated. Someone can even withdraw consent when you are close to climaxing.

Points are so unrelated and misleading.

is the writer trying to say that every woman in Nigeria has to be offered something before you can date them?

the writer is clearly talking about patronising prostitutes. how is transactional sex (prostitution) now the same thing as dating?

is the writer saying that his antics of offering women things before getting their consent (which is common among nigerian men of today) has failed abroad?

is he now saying that due to his low self esteem, he cannot engage a woman in a fruitful conversation and convince her to know him and date him?

are there no "beautiful, physically endowed and accessible" abroad?

Normal na.
Asian women are great on bed.
And the greatest part...
They don't believe in billings.
They make and spend their own money and are largely faithful.
Once they want out, they tell you they want out. They don't keep multiple partners.
Just that it's difficult to find the naija kind of nyash here 😂😂😂

(9) Career growth:
When Trump used the term “black jobs”, the immigrants knew exactly what he meant. Most immigrants in the UK are perpetually stuck in dead-end health and social care jobs. The barriers keeping you there appear absent, but you can hardly leave. As we have the issue of tribalism in Nigeria, the ‘higher version’ is also a factor militating against career growth abroad.

Using UK to generalise.

is what is obtainable in UK the same in every country outside Nigeria?

In Nigeria, a man is the king in his home. He gets away with everything especially when he is well-to-do. Abroad, it’s a woman’s world. Even pets like cats and dogs hold a higher stake than a man . This is one of the reasons why marriages of immigrants easily crumble as some men struggle with the new reality.



Such a profoundly stupid statement
