Oga @chukwuka16 my friend, my friend. Everybody has said “I told you so” so I’ll just keep my mouth shut

Thanks for the analysis anyway.

Hides my face

Yeah, you all said so. I had and still have some hope but now its glaring that some things have to give. I quite appreciate that I wasn’t “finished” here on Nairaland, but it’s obvious that Nigeria as it is cannot work. I can now resonate with the question – “to what end is RoI when you can’t spend it in peace?”

Nigeria as a country is untenable and unsustainable. It isn’t even a matter of restructuring – whatever that means, the system is BROKEN. All attempts aren’t at getting to the root of the problem, it’s all patch work and the decay continues to fester.

And yes, yesterday I started liquidating my position in the country. Had a long chat with my primary co-investor and expressed my fears. Told him my major worry was trying to catch the cliff (the turning point of no return). It is better to be out now than be unable to exit when the Naira enters free fall. I’m indeed grateful to have another conducive space to thrive – I shall henceforth not take it for granted.

@ Wallg123, our brother lost the fight.

@ Wonlasewonimi, I still remain optimistic but that’s after the crash. If Nigeria doesn’t crash, she can never go forward. The system as it is now has to collapse, government has to fail and people have to grapple with what it means to be in a failed country. If we don’t have the China experience (The Great Chinese Farming) of 1959-1961 – a benchmark or painful experience that scares the shi*t out of us, there can never be sustained growth.

@Lexusgs430, yeah, you told me so. At the end of the day, even (blind) optimism has its limits. We must never lose hope but yeah, I will never give my life for Nigeria – I believe our founding fathers have done that. While I did have my planning at 1000 Naira/£1, unfortunately 1000 Naira/£1 is now within reach far far earlier than I expected.

@Justwise, it isn’t too much reading, I sincerely believed that Nigeria’s problem was superficial. Now I know that it is systemic. The cancer has spread across all organs that chemo isn’t an option anymore. I still sleep with pains because it is the ordinary people’s lives and destinies that continue to get ruined.

@TheGuyFromHR, I had to bite the humble pie and make a quick U-turn. There was just no reprieve in sight. If tomorrow I lose my investments and go bankrupt, it won’t be a wise argument to say I had a dream or vision or was fully convinced – my bills will continue to pile up.

@Estroller, I agree as I’m barely afloat. In our local parlance, “las, las, they will be fine”

@Aphrodite007, you did say so. I will say no more.

I still have to maintain skeletal services in Nigeria considering that I have local needs to be met. Of course, we generate profits that in reality don’t exist due to hyperinflation. Also, I have staff that I can’t just lay off – the alternative won’t be great. However, I won’t be considering anything like further investments or expansion – I will just work on recovering all my investments and subsequently looking at scrapping off the rest (based on how quickly things evolve). It isn’t worth it in the Nigeria of today. Few weeks ago, we made a purchase of a machinery, 2 weeks later the cost had gone up by 50% - I’m still trying to understand what just happened. How does something add that amount in 2 weeks when £/$ exchange rate is still stable despite Brexit, covid and disrupted supply chains?

Indeed, There Was A Country!

Good morning all. Pls I need £ for Naira, anyone changing, or where best can I change naira to pounds before traveling thanks.

@Ralph and Aphrodite... I got the joke - it was on me.
Bants are fine but you folks must agree that reading through an epistle of quotes just ruins a decent conversation or topic...

It also appears that the regulars are in with chukwuka previous posts... It is interesting to see some folks shining their eyes eventually... We are here to learn and lifelong learning is great

Why not use the money to invest in stocks on a monthly basis for the long term. Playing the lottery has made a lot of people poorer.

Not all lotteries. And also not when you are playing with spare cash. If you make the lottery to be addictive and you're using more than your spare cash to play, then you'd have an issue. I think for lotteries you should generally have a strategy. Do a sort of research. So many websites give you a rundown of common numbers that come out, and numbers you should avoid. Then of course there are normal maths. At least that is what I did for lotto27.com instant games and I won quite some. Na just say i be Nigerian, I no go fit give you my full strategy before e cast. I don use am play their dreamhouse lottery too. Na when dem do the draw we go know if that one work too or not

Good Evening all,

I arrived the UK on the 14th of Jan. but up till now I have not collected my BRP, I'm suppose to pick up from my sponsor which is my school. They sent me an email to inform me that they don't have my BRP, that I should contact the home office. I am suppose to travel by the end of march, but I don't think that is possible now.

How can I go about this pls?

Write to home office. They sent mine to my address after I sent a mail. But it should be those in charge of your school, for example, mine was UKVICheck@myschool.co.uk so be sure of exactly where yours should go.

Good day all please which cheap University is around Station Road, Rainham, Gillingham that offers health related courses
And what's the cost of a room apartment in this area thanks

More stupidity on the part of these people.
I still do not understand why they cannot make exceptions during this period at least and reissue passports by mail to people who cant access an embassy who already have one that's expired without the whole stupid rigmarole of asking people to show up in person to have another picture and set of fingerprints taken.

Abeg how much dem de buy pounds now?

Who knows abeg help direct me

God bless you all my people in Uk. Please I want to ask, if I want to invite my mother in law for omugwo, is she allowed to stay through the six months? What is the maximum period one can stay without violating any rule?
