Treadway:Food cost as an excuse is not true. Nigerian staple foods are still cheap. See the rice I bought yesterday for $8.99 A single person can eat this like 20 times ( average $0.45 per meal). and that bag is less than one hour pay rate for minimum wage. Second picture is receipt for the rice as at yesterday @ $8.99 (6kg) That garri is about $13 The nodules is $7 for 24piece Beans is $12 Total of everything there is about half of daily pay of minimum wage worker. That food would last more than a month for a single individual. 11 Likes

Breaking news:!!!!!!!! My Boss @ the office just resigned to go abroad. This came as am still asking questions as to if it's worth japaring. My boss earns well, official car, and lots of benefits attached to his office yet baba still left these for Canada. What are these people not telling us?

Simple answer …. Under the right circumstances. If you have a job waiting; say under a Highly Skilled Migrant Visa … then good move. You see these ones going under student visas and moving their entire families. Not a very wise move. 4 Likes |

Not with kingpins like Tinubu wanting to rule your affairs. A country can never advance if retarded criminals are in power. That is why you need humble, responsible, accountable, and sensible leaders like Obi to run the country in order to build and keep the human resources that will propel the country ahead.The key to sustainability is common sense and adapatation. and you must adapt sensibly to survive. 3 Likes |

ayandee: Ah - so you are in Canada? That nonsense country we all know is crap yet keep convincing ourselves is great lol - Canada is an asocial and depressing cesspit where everyone just works to pay bills lol. There is actually a lot of insecurity in Canada - recently there have been some mass shootings, druggies fill downtowns, etc. Canada is more economically unstable than Nigeria because house prices are too expensive but in Nigeria you can own a house without mortgage fairly quickly - also you will never have significant savings in Canada since the system chops everything.... I agree with you on the weak institutions - Nigerians are shamelessly lazy and with poor work ethic. Nigeria system of education is better - kids are not taught feminism and transgender etc - most estates now provide their own power supply. Nigerian passport is not weak.... 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Confidence People have lost confidence in the Nigerian economy reason they are leaving. Funny enough people have always left Nigeria for greener pastures since 1980, in the 90's etc. Its just that social media has made it more of a trending update. The only advice I can give is not to sell properties worth millions of naira and Japa, cos you would never ever ever see that type of fixed asset again in your life. No matter where you go, it would be too difficult to raise that type of wealth again. Every other type of Japa is good so far you still leave big properties which is wealth you can return to in 10 or 20 years time. No country is easy, but people are surely japaing cos they have had enough and want to hustle another way. Also to those who have recently japad, Save your money ooooo, and make you years count. Countries like the UK are extremely funny countries, cos they are designed to make you work pay bills, die and your children you japad for 30 years ago would just continuing paying monthly bills and wont make a difference. Even when you end up having a mortgage in the UK, its a 30 years commitment, and even when you finish paying it, you would be 30 years old, and im sure you would have no choice but to let your kids live in it and wont necessarily be yours. So back to square 1 for the person who Japad 30 years ago. But whichever way the coin flips, everyone needs to just keep hustling for better days When dollar was 1 naira to 1 dollar people left nigeria , when its now almost 1000 people are leaving when it is 2000 people would still leave. But just be careful how you are leaving and where you leave to and what exactly you end up doing when you get to where you are going, The rat race in developed countries is not a joke, its a generational trap sometimes 17 Likes 3 Shares |

Primusinterpares My prime worry now is that the world is entering into a period of recession or at least the West. A recession means job losses. Where will they find work? What are their job prospects? The recession was expected as Western nations tried to fight inflation which had risen to its highest level in about 40 years. To do that, they have had to tighten monetary policies by raising interest rates. Raising interest rates compel people to save rather than spend reducing money in circulation. In addition, higher rates discourages borrowing and forces borrowers to pay more in servicing debt. For fiscal policies, the huge spending and high budget deficits their economies had carried in order to boost their economies would be heavily reduced further leading to a further slow down in economic activities. Now, the scenario has been greatly compounded by Russia weaponizing gas supply to Europe. This has led to panic in Europe as they need energy to sustain their economies. Without energy, they are doomed. Already, Germany lost a $1bn chemical plant investment. The firm preferred to invest the money in China. The entire picture is bad 5 Likes 1 Share |
