They do. What I mean is that I couldn't find our native vegetables there. It could be found in their supermarkets, though, I don't know. But I resided in the rural area. Village. I couldn't see any to make my food.

Travel / Re: What Common Things Surprised You In Other Countries that is lacking in Nigeria? by yom2(m): 12:44am On Apr 26, 2023

I'll go first...

1. Cooking gas: Cooking gas is very cheap in ivory Coast. It costs an average of #330/kg of gas. So refilling a 12.5 kg cylinder should cost you #4125 at most.

2. Kerosene: kerosene costs relatively about #650/ litre in the fuel station, where the black market sells for #800/ litre.j

Note : This country's oil production is very poor o. They're not even anywhere close to Naija's production.

3. Organisation: Ivory coast is very well organized that you can barely run into unorganized environment. Many areas are safely guarded by their local police officers stationed almost everywhere. You can as well make friends with the officers easily without any form of threat from them. They're very welcoming.

4. Very low violent place: People can move around as late as 10pm till dawn without the fear of harassment or violence. In fact, children play in the tarred road as late as 10pm. They have already come to terms about how safe they are in the country. People can stay up late wherever they went to without rushing back home due to nightfall. Night movements was my best !

5. Good Road network: I spent close to 7 months in ivory Coast and could barely see a road untarred. Almost every road I used was smoothly done and stretched to various cities and States. The only place my leg touched Sandy soil was in my compound because the landlord was still constructing more buildings in the site. So our compound was sandy at the moment.
Tarred road stretched into all compounds in ivory Coast. It's not the responsibility of the government to do your compound, it's yours. I was marvelled by such development though I spent most of my time in the rural area.

6. Security: Police is your friend is the Moto in ivory Coast. Really nice people. I guess I've said it somewhere before now.

6a. Theft is ALMOST uncertainty. The prepaid meter of every individual house is stationed outside the main building without burglary or iron shield. Anybody can touch it. It wasn't even stationed very high from the ground level. It went only as far as 3-4 feets high. A child of 10 can touch it too.

Our apartment is in a 2 storey building comprising of almost 33 units of one bedroom apartments. The building was built like a shopping complex. All of the prepaid meters used in this apartments are stationed outside where everyone can see and feel it. But no one steals it, likewise every other houses there.

6b. Once there was a particular theft in my ivorian friend's shop that I know of. There were 5 boys who was involved in burgling his computer and phone shop one night. But before 5am, the boys were all caught with the complete stolen items retrieved. Funny enough, my friend didn't know. He was woken up by the police to come to his shop and see the guys. And he didn't have to SETTLE THE POLICE FOR DOING THEIR JOBS grin.

7. There is constant electricity in that country. CONSTANT.
I only observed a few nightouts and those periods were understandable. They all know when the lights would go off in the week or month and have come to terms with it. Light doesn't go off intermittently as obtained in Nigeria. And throughout my stay there, I didn't pay for light bill or water. My caretaker didn't mention it to me too. I was surprised. Steady light cheesy

8. Economy: Their economy is very good. It's almost equaling to the Naira at the time I left. So, if you hear 500 CFA there, it's almost equivalent to 500 Naira. So don't do too much calculation.

8a. Minimum wage is very much respected and applied. A POS attendant over their is living a good standard life. A bar attendant earns about 20,000 CFA weekly... WEEKLY o. I mean a local bar attendant. How much more a corporate hotel or bar attendant or waiter.

8b. The money you earn can fetch you a standard living. Their money is easily made and spent too.

9. FOOD grin grin grin: Our area of specialty.

Food is over cheap compared to what's obtained in Naija. You can see someone who earns little but could afford chicken or any frozen food. Food is not part of their problems for now. Banana can go as low as 50 CFA or 50 Naira and it is not the small quantity we're talking about.

A bunch of Bananas that you can get from a roadside vendor in Naija for 800 could be gotten for 150 CFA. So you see it. Once I bought 2 Bunches of banana for 50 each, I couldn't finish them for 3 days.

9a. So sorry, vegetables can be scarcely found there my dear. I made most of my soup without vegetables. That part I didn't enjoy undecided

That's for now. Anybody can add.
that means they don't have vegetables

I haven't seen a woman so uncouth, crass and mannerless than this Abike of a woman! Her parents failed to instill discipline on her right from childhood. One can only but imagine how mannerless her children will be. I really weep for her husband that's if she has any. I give up on her.
it is u people that turned her that way. She was very civil when she started but having received uncountable, undeserved and misplaced bashings and abuses from all classes of rif raff and Babarians she was traumatised and started hitting back with a deadly punch

We play too much in this country

'Obi has set the Igbo political trajectory 24 years backwards' so they said.

Now let's examine the reality of those whose trajectory has been making progress in leaps and bounds since 1999, shall we?

North West has produced President for 11 years.

South West has produced President for 8 years.

South South has produced President for 5 years.

That's the total of 24 years right? Can anyone please relate this trajectory to how it impacted the information below?

Well, Keyamo is more prone to stealing than Ekweremadu because he served in the executive where all the money is. A recent one is the 52bn LG jobs. Do you know anyone who benefited from it? Yet he was the one who managed the project almost singlehandedly. I remember him fighting legislators off the project then.
The fact is, only someone who is intentionally blind will believe Keyamo that the money was lying in his account since 2019 and he woke up one morning in 2021, two years after becoming minister to spend it on a house.
Are you aware there's a story of him owning another house in Ikoyi in same 2021?
oga keyamo mata. There are more worser cases out there. The young man has been working for his money from d beginning of time

In Nigeria today, Keyamo is a more renowned name in the legal profession than Ekweremadu. I’m open to differing views
when u mention keyamo a few other names comes to light; Femi falana, ozhekomi and Chris nwokobia

Oga stoo being his praise singer. There are so many big lawyers too in Lagos that are counsels to multi national companies so that one no follow. The thing is simple let him allow for his foreign bank accounts to be subpoenaed and let him explain the source of the inflows in that account.
use ur head and not ur emotions. Keyamo has made money long before he became a public servant.

Firstly, I'm from Edo state.

Thirdly, i served in a very big govt institution in Lagos and I'm equally doing well for myself.

How u guys think anybody complaining about the problems of Nigeria is from the SE, its what i dont understand.
Nigeria is a failed state regardless how well u think u are doing for urself and I'm so ashamed right now to have attended same university with a blind fellow like u that can't reason above sentiments and tribalism.

How many region is even doing better than SE in Nigeria currently?
Remove Lagos that was developed by British govt and the federal govt from SW and SW is a shitholes
Anambra is more developed than all the 19 states in the North except Abuja and kano according to rankings
Anambra is more developed than all the states in the South west except Lagos that was developed by British govt and the federal govt of Nigeria
Anambra is more developed than all the states in the South South except rivers.

That u hate them doesn't mean they are not better than u
Just take ur medication and relax

Because their side did not win

From 1999-2015, and from 1999-2023, Hausas and Yourbas respectively lost faith in governance.

The problem I have with NOI's comment is simple. Nigerians have not lost faith in governance, but they are angry that their side has lost out on the national cake sharing.

Nigerians better stop believing in the fantasy called national cake, then things will work in this country.

P.S Tinubu winning does not mean Yourba land will develop, by the way.
learn to call a spade a spade sentiments aside. I have never seen any Nigerian irrespective of tribe who has not lamented on the worsening living condition since 2015 . you can only solve a problem by first identifying the causative factors.
