I entered a mall in Toronto to.buy coke and the amount will amaze you. Two dollar and forty nine cent ($2.49).

Using the price of 50cl Coke in Canada versus Nigerian which is about Four Hundred naira (N400), I am suspecting that the ingredients are different combination. It means the Coke sold in Nigeria malls and shop are adultereted or of less ingredients.

I have attached the receipt of the Coke for verification in case you doubt..

Baba Why you no buy from Dollarama. it's literally $1.75 in dollarama

A little back story.

Due to some ugly circumstances, i dropped out of school in 2019 and I've been at home since then, periodically picking up one or two low paying jobs. 2 years ago, I decided to learning a tech skill. I taught myself C++ programming language and I'm currently teaching myself mathematics aggressively, studying for min of 8 hours daily.

For the past two years, I've mostly always been in my room, I can be in our house for more than two weeks, without stepping a foot out of our door due to how engrossed in studying I always am. My goal is to learn C++, DSA , And Math to an undergraduate level then use my skills to apply for scholarships to study abroad, and probably work in a hedge fund company as a quantitative trader in the future. For those who know what leetcode is, i can currently solve most leetcode (hard) problems in less than 40 minutes.

Now, I'll be 24 in August, and my dad is worried that I'm wasting my life away because I've refused to pickup any real job or learn a trade, his worried that I'm already getting old, always reminding me that people my age are already getting married. Now he wants me to leave his house to go look for my own place to stay, and has offered me 7 million naira to go start life else where.

Now I plan to move out of Lagos to PH or Akwa Ibom, then use part of the money to start up a computer business center, where I'll be doing typing, printing, lamination, jamb registration, GCE/WAEC registrations, etc. One of the reasons I chose this is because I've worked in a place like this before and I have experience in how to run such a place. Another reason is that, this business would give me time to also study and sharpen my Math/Programming skills. I plan to rent a shop that is big enough so that I can also be sleeping/living there.

Now I seriously need advicing because this is such a turning point in my life and the next few years is going to make or break me because there is no room for any disastrous bad decision

Impressive accomplishment, reply with your leetcode profile.
However, my advice to you is to get a programming job right now, this will help you build real word skills and solving real world challenges which aligns with your future progression. You can devcenter one of the top programming communities I know in Nigeria you can get a job through that platform.

7M naira may not be too much but its something tho. But right now I would focus on earning good income to boost that capital, sadly your only choice is to relocate and you need capital or you can build a solution in Nigeria and seek investments that is not easy too.

BeLookingIDIOT:

More than 200k.
Where did you buy the concerta in Nigeria. And isn't that more expensive?

Not in Nigeria. I left Nigeria 2 years ago.

BeLookingIDIOT:

Do you still use this please?
What's the prices now?
The prices I'm seeing on online stores no be here o.

I don’t use this anymore I take concerta now. What are the current prices you see?

barnybarbs:



I'm was told 150k for Ritalin. I know your post is some time back but the price discrepancy is too much. Do you still use the meds? How much do you get them now? I tried sending you a pm to no avail.

Looking back, my post blew up here even though it has very few interactions lots of people ed the pharmacies and demand shot up ⬆️ like crazy . I couldn’t get my medication because they were always out of stock they told me demand was crazy.

I’m in Canada now so I don’t know the current prices. I would imagine it would be even more unaffordable this period given the exchange rates and inflation combined as both pharmacies import the meds.

Pretty good storytelling . Something entertaining on Nairaland since forever .

Is the state running out of hotels ?

Wonders shall never end

With the advent of onlyfans, it seems public nudity is here to stay.

I was just scrolling twitter (X) this evening and a white lady made a post.

"I can swear the nîggas with the biggest dicks are based in (she mentioned some US states) post your dicks and location and let's decide"

And boom, tons of guys were snapping their thing and sending. Live on the Twitter post. Some even added their face to the pics.

(I wanted to share the twitter page here but I mistakenly closed it)

We are in 2024 and public nudity is here to stay. Nothing anybody can tell me 😀

First of all, white ladies do not say the N-word especially in a public forum.

Secondly you don’t misplace a link because you closed the browser tab, there’s a browser history that can show all links you visited .


There’s no point in cooking up a story , you can just post a question and still receive replies

CsRockefeller:
What's the x factor in getting a job here in Canada? Skills/Courses? Education/Degrees? Experience?

It's tough being an international student here. I'm likely to get a remote job from Nigeria than getting a physical job here in Ontario.

Even menial jobs aren't available, or am I doing something wrong?

It’s tough

lol

So who’s the minister of petroleum?

I pray his family finds the strength to bear this loss. And the strength to carry on.
What a tragic loss. RIP

Hello everyone,

I need some advice from medical persons on a possible exposure to HIV.

What is the probability of contracting HIV infection after protected sex with condom and washing of the genitals with soap and water.
So the story..
I had a one off sex with a lady on May 4th 2024 with condom. No oral,no kissing. After ejaculation,I removed the condom carefully,their was no condom tear/bust and went to the bathroom to wash off with soap and water ( i did not wipe off with tissue before washing off). So on 28th morning,I woke up with vomiting,diarrhea and localized abdominal pain on my lower left. Had a very mild fever the next day and I was treated for malaria and I recovered,though abdominal pain persisted for a while. I tested for HIV at 30 days post exposure and it came back negative.On 18th June 2024,the abdominal pain returned with diarrhea,lower back burning sensation and low grade fever the next day. I carried out culture test And Ulcer test, some bacteria was found and ulcer was positive. I was treated for ulcer and the abdominal pain stopped.

So my fear:
1.Can ulcer alone cause the symptoms described above?
2. Are their other possible STI/UTI test I need to carryout?
3. Is it possible that while washing off,the reminant of vaginal fluid on the pubic area can wash down to the tip of the penis and hence cause infection ( note I did not wipe off with tissue before washing off,meaning i might still have sperm at the tip)?
3. Can HIV transmit this way?
4. What are my chances that my 4 weeks negative test will not change after 3 months?

From wide search,I learnt that HIV 2 which is predominant in west Africa is a bit harder to transmit.

I'm still experiencing intermittent abdominal pain,burning sensation.

Thanks. 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The fact that you recovered from malaria and medication work normally for you means your immune system is still in great condition. You don’t have any immune virus .

Can some in this same situation, take G instead of G2?

You can only take full G if the experience added on your driving record is up to two years. Meaning if your Nigerian driving license was issued at least 2years ago. You can confirm with the person adding your record on which tests you're eligible to book. Very important.

Drive test website can allow you book G test, but if you're not eligible for it, you will not be allowed to complete the road test and your $90 maybe forfeited.

braine:


I submitted my extract when I took and ed the G1 test on the 18th March. They said they need to the extract and that they will call me to let me know if they will add my driving history. Yet no call! I was told I can take the G2 whenever I want tho.

Another thing: my drivers license expired yesterday.

Go ahead and take your G2. Make sure to practice tho.

Stray bullet. Brampton live matters😀

I have been living in Brampton for close to 2 years now. I have experienced any of these.

My current landlord is Indian. He choose my application for the house above other Indians that came for the same house.

That aside, like you said most jobs are in Mississauga, would the person not be better of living in Brampton or Georgetown than going to Hamilton?

I get where you're coming from. I don't have anything against Brampton as well. but when it comes to majority, you know how it is. The number of times I've gotten questions like are you vegetarian or are you Gujurati, Indians only etc just because I want to rent a place is disappointing.
Driving there too is not safe you sef know for that one terrible drivers full brampton.

aurorae1:


The way I smile when I see messages that begin like this...
Congratulations!
May the great white North favour you.

You know you’re next 🏆

For instance the drive test center i went to had an Indian attendant, she refused to add my driving experience because my driving licence no carry middle name as on my port.

Went there the next to try again or complain. I didn’t even need to explain to the white lady she just added my experience no questions asked.

JIREN01:
Hello chief, which do you think is the better option between Missisauga, Hamilton, and Brampton?

Just remove Brampton from the option . Either Hamilton or Mississauga is good.

I think mississauga has more job opportunities tho.

The reason I said to remove Brampton is because the majority of indian from there favor their own kind.

Gujarati , Punjabi, South Indians. Basically in everything from getting a house, getting a job, even government services etc

When there’s no law and order these are the norms.

gideon19:


How can I go about this, pls?
i.e the submission of the extract.

Go to any drive test center near you. Make sure to carry original Nigerian driving license and the extract.
for the G1 test and submit the extract.

Rhoda21:


What I mean is places like Scarborough, Hamilton, are a bit more affordable than downtown.

North york is so ghetto sha. Hamilton is still better off. You can still get a studio apt for 800-900 and a flat for 1200-1500

Hello Everyone,
My husband has been in Vancouver for 14 months and unable to find a skilled job. He is a chartered ant (A/CGA). He just completed his MBA last year December. Any help will be very useful. He is also a Project Manager and business analyst- certified

Also, I want to apply for a resident visa as the one we came in with has expired. Do we need to go for another medical examination?
If yes, where?

Thank you.

Regards

you don’t need medical since you’ve been in Canada for over a year. Since your visa is exited before you applied for renewal you’ll also need to apply for restoration of status. Then apply for renewal .

gideon19:


Hi ednut1, I will be 3 months in Canada this month and I already have my extract from FRSC (since last year). If I am to get the G-license, does it matter how long the extract was issued?

I would really appreciate any guidance on how I can get the G-licence, please.

I am in the Ontario province (Markham).

NOTE: I am yet to start driving in Canada.

Submit your extract as fast as you can it expires after 4 months or less. Besides it’s not compulsory to do the test after submitting your extract . They’ll just add your driving history so you’ll be eligible for G test. Else you’ll wait one year before you can even do g2

The first one is way better

If you can afford the phone the screen replacement price shouldn't be an issue to you. That's what i always tell people.

honestly the screen replacement cost issue is valid.

shedy03:

Hey, redmi no be transsion oooo.

I get what you mean. But it’s not just the quality of the products . It’s the privacy compromise that comes with these devices . Wonder why they don’t sell these in Canada or US? They have internal built in malware. For devices shipped to Africa India, Philippines etc
