Wow,I just noticed @inecnigeria has locked 🔒 up the Appointment Date and Time for new voters card registration of most of the LGA APC lost in Lagos in 2023 presidential election.
They have also locked appointment date in states that APC lost too.

Nigerians have this terrible habit of pocket watching and sizing people.
It has become such a habit that they don't even realize when they're doing it.
The average Nigerian will size you up before according you any level of respect. From customer service staff at the bank to receptionists, waiters, waitresses, business owners, people at the gym, parties, clubs—you name it.
You could be talking to a Nigerian for the first time, and they'd be stylishly looking at the kind of phone you're using, the watch you're wearing, the car you drive, the wig you're wearing, your bag, and so on. The moment they perceive you to be rich, you can immediately notice the difference in how they talk to you and treat you.
And this is exactly why so many Nigerians live fake lives.
They call it packaging.
People have realized that looking rich often gets you more respect than actually being respectable. So everybody is trying to look like they're doing better than they really are.
This sizing culture is also why Nigerians pocket watch so much.
People are constantly calculating how much you make in a month, what you do for a living, how you can afford to travel all the time, where you got the money to buy your car, how you're able to live in a particular neighborhood, and so on.
They don't do this because they want to be inspired to go harder. Most times, it is simply pocket watching.
Someone said a few days ago that, "So a helicopter flight in Monaco is $150, and Sophia Egbueje made it look like $100,000."
Mind you, she didn't imply it. She didn't say anything about the cost. But because Nigerians are professional pocket watchers, they filled in the gaps themselves and ran with it.
They do this all the time.
And the craziest part about pocket watching is that once people have sized you up, mentally calculated how much you make, and concluded that you're rich, they automatically start thinking they're entitled to some of the money you make.
Such a ridiculous way to live life.
This is how we check World Cup fixtures when there was no access to internet, gone are those days at Ojota, like it’s was so interesting, they will sell to us then unfolded in other to make it easy to access, we will fold it and begin to write score after each match.
Childhood 🙌🏼

Freaking Infantinolized racists.

This is the part nobody likes to talk about. All you want is japka as if money is growing on trees abroad.
Before visa.
Before IELTS.
Before embassy prayers.
There are BASIC, LOW-LEVEL, HIGH-DEMAND skills Nigerians should already know before leaving Nigeria.
Real-life survival and money skills.
𝟏. 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐎𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐀𝐃
If you cannot drive, you will suffer.
Full stop.
Driving gives you:
• Freedom
• Multiple income options
• Time control
• Independence
People abroad make money from:
• Uber / Bolt
• Amazon Flex
• DoorDash / Instacart
• Medical transport
• Private deliveries
• Chauffeur work
Learning to drive abroad costs:
• Thousands
• Months of delay
• Failed tests
Learn it in Nigeria cheaply.
Master it.
Arrive ready.
2. HAIR BRAIDING & BEAUTY SKILLS PRINT MONEY
People joke about “braiding hair.”
Let me tell you something.
Hair pays rent abroad.
Skills that make cash fast:
• Hair braiding
• Wig making
• Loc installation
• Barbering
• Lash extensions
• Nails
These skills:
• Need little English
• Have African clients everywhere
• Pay cash
• Travel with you
Many salons abroad are owned by Nigerians.
Clients are booked months ahead.
3. COOKING IS A BUSINESS, NOT JUST A TALENT
If you can cook well, you are sitting on money.
Abroad, people pay heavily for:
• Nigerian food
• Party trays
• Meal prep
• Catering
• Frozen meals
Learn:
• Portion control
• Food hygiene
• Packaging
• Pricing
People abroad are tired.
They buy convenience.
4. SEWING & ALTERATIONS
Fashion doesn’t disappear abroad.
People need:
• Clothes shortened
• Zips changed
• Dresses adjusted
• Wedding outfits fixed
Learn sewing properly.
Not Instagram tailoring.
Real measurements.
One sewing machine abroad can feed a family.
5. CLEANING IS A BUSINESS IF DONE RIGHT
Not house-help mentality.
Commercial cleaning pays:
• Offices
• Schools
• Airbnb
• Construction sites
Learn:
• Deep cleaning
• Equipment use
• Chemicals
• Speed & quality
Many Nigerians abroad clean quietly and own houses later.
6. HANDYMAN & REPAIR SKILLS ARE GOLD
People abroad don’t fix things themselves.
Learn:
• Painting
• Basic plumbing
• Light electrical work
• Furniture assembly
• TV mounting
Clients pay for 30 minutes what some earn in a full day.
7. LAUNDRY & IRONING IS UNDERVALUED MONEY
People hate washing and ironing.
Abroad:
• Time is money
• Convenience is king
Learn professional laundry:
• Stain removal
• Folding
• Packaging
Simple skill. Constant demand.
8. CHILDCARE & ELDER CARE SKILLS
Not just “watching children.”
Learn:
• Basic childcare
• First aid
• Safety routines
• Elder support
Care jobs are always available.
Certification helps.
Experience matters.
9. BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS SEPARATE YOU FROM SUFFERING
You don’t need to be a tech genius.
But you must know:
• Email
• Online forms
• Scheduling
• Scanning documents
• Printing
Many Nigerians abroad lose jobs because they can’t fill simple forms.
If you are still in Nigeria:
Learn something with your hands.
Learn something practical.
Learn something people pay for.
Visa expires.
Skills don’t.
Best wishes
@afodave52@novieverest David afolayan,You sounds and Looks so stu-pid that I wonders who’s even giving house projects to build.
Anyone you build house for should very worried
Men are really naive, and this naivety exists because their ego simply cannot handle the truth.
Do you know that a good number of babes who are called escorts or high-end prostitutes are actually criminals? Like, they are into fraud, money laundering, drug trafficking, and all sorts of illegal businesses.
But the moment a babe starts living a flashy lifestyle, flying around the world, buying cars, houses, and so on, the first thing people (read: men) conclude is that she sleeps with married men, politicians, or billionaires for a living.
For some reason, men cannot fathom the possibility of these girls committing actual crimes.
We seriously overestimate both how much and the extent billionaires are willing to splurge on random women.
And contrary to what men think, women in this category are usually very pleased to be tagged escorts, prostitutes, or whatever name you choose to call them. Because that narrative sticks, and it conveniently keeps them off the radar of law enforcement agencies.
You see them on different trips, living boogie, and your first line of thought is:
"The penis is useless. See wetin woman dey enjoy."
Meanwhile, the whole time, those trips are for illegal business deals, and she's the one funding the lifestyle.
The funniest part is that calling every rich woman an escort may actually be the best cover a female criminal could ask for.
@Themrbachelor Yes she might be given an audience but I dare say that the Pastor is 99% likely to offer her “Prayers against spirit of sickness” as opposed to financial help.
Let’s leave the other 1% to chance.
