I spoke to a friend who arrived UK 🇬🇧 in 2021 with his family last week.
They bought their first house in the UK 🇬🇧 in 2023.
Bought the second house in the UK 🇬🇧 in 2025.
In the UK 🇬🇧, let no one deceive you; buying house for Mortgage is an asset.
To buy a second house, you need 25% of the property being paid.
Both husband and wife are both working in a highly paid job and even still have a business in Nigeria for them bringing money.
They could not achieve this without the wife helping the husband. They both contribute 100/100 and both own the houses. I don’t even support 50/50, my own is 100/100.
One of the things I think helped them was that they were rich before coming to UK 🇬🇧 as they’ve paid all tuition fees and even 12 months rent before coming in 2021.
If you Japa and be doing Odogwu alone as man. You’ll not achieve anything abroad.
I was fixing my lashes when two friends started talking.
One said she was craving noodles and asked where she could get some.
The other replied, “Iconic, but it’s about ₦2k.”
Their married friend laughed and said:
“That’s small money. Let me call my husband. I’ll tell him it’s ₦10k.”
Her friend even advised, “Just say ₦4k.”
She refused.
Put the call on speaker and asked for ₦10k to buy food.
Her husband said:
“Which day that one start to use 10k buy food?”
Then he ended the call. 😭
Sis has been explaining all day that maybe he’s just not in a good mood.
Kenya hosts millions of them from South Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Rwanda, Burundi and even Nigeria yet we don't go about beating them on the streets.
In other countries the government deports illegals. In South Africa, hooligans, vigilante and xenophobic groups, beat, kill, extort and humiliate fellow Africans. This barbaric behaviour is evil and unacceptable
The African diaspora needs to stop treating this as just another online debate.
If South Africa wants to normalise the mistreatment, humiliation and scapegoating of other Africans, then Africans outside South Africa should respond economically and culturally.
Stop watching South African films and shows. Stop buying South African wine. Stop buying South African products. Stop promoting South African tourism. Stop rewarding a country that treats vulnerable Africans as disposable while still expecting African solidarity, African markets and African cultural support.
This is not hatred of ordinary South Africans. It is a refusal to support a system and a social climate that dehumanises other Africans while calling it patriotism.
If African lives matter, then African money, attention and cultural support should also matter.
At this point, it is a moral obligation! I for one, I am done!
The last time I was in Lagos I paid to enter a beach in Lekki.
Not a resort. Not a water park. A beach.
Sand. Water. A coastline that existed long before any of us were born.
Someone bought it. Fenced it. Put a gate on it. Now you pay to touch the ocean.
What kind of government sells its people access to nature?
Happy Democracy Day. 🇳🇬
One time I was scared of South Africans was the time two passengers strangled an Uber driver to d£ath.
I read comments from them, they said the guy was a student and should not even be working, hence, his d£ath was justified.
Those guys are disgusting and one of the most despicable people on earth.
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
Under President Trump, the State Department is defending the integrity of U.S. citizenship by ending illegal birth tourism schemes.
No foreigner is permitted to obtain a visitor visa for the primary purpose of acquiring U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth in the U.S.
Just in: “Nigerians please come and help me, I placed a bet of N28Million on 1xbet and I Won N82Million but I was only allowed to redraw N31Million and now 1xbet has refused to pay my remaining N51.8Million but instead Closed down my account” - Nigerian man cries out for help
“Where is your ID card ? Show me your ID card! Why are you working with these police officers and still stopping vehicles on the road?
Man confronts a man working with police officers on the road wearing Ankara without an ID CARD💔💔
Bosun Tijani had all the tech solutions to the national problems until he was made minister, a platform to implement his ideas. It's been graveyard silence from him ever since
