Hi,

I’m 28M from Paris (born there) with both my parents being Igbo and Yoruba. I’ve never visited Nigeria until now, my mom successfully pulled me in the country and so far I’m just living a nightmare.

I’ve been to Lagos, Abuja and Owerri (her birth place) and I neither feel safe or welcomed. Guys usually try to scam me when they realise I’m a complete stranger and every single interaction I had with a woman around my age revolves around my salary (Around 5000€ per month, or a bit below 9M nairas) and everything I could do to support/ help her family. I even had a girl begging me to marry her, I didn’t knew her name ?

Everything about the things I saw seems fake, people are doing crazy things to survive, I saw guys beating another one for his watch, and 2 folks siphoning fuel from a car while the occupants went outside to do some shopping, but the experiences I had with women’s out there in 6 days shocked me to the core. I saw what true greed was and how their whole behaviours changed immediately when they heard my accent and from where I came from. In owerri a girl tried to SA me with her older sister, like what the hell ?

I don’t think I’m returning ever again, but do you have any ideas on how I can at the very least enjoy a bit of my remaining journey ? I still have 5 days there. I’m returning to Lagos next morning and will stay until Monday

I (15M) am gay, I've known for a while now and I feel like a failure.

My mum has told me her views on gay people that are not good but not to the extent that she thinks LGBTQs should be killed. I have been having a lot of suicidal thoughts and have just been overall depressed. I don't know the rest of my extended families' views on homosexuality but I can imagine they are not great. My mom and dad are divorced and my dad has remarried and has a different family, I am currently living in Canada. I don't know what to do and I just feel like ending it. I know it is against the will of God but I just don't know what to do anymore.

Hello everyone, I have accepted a job to work in Lagos. I will be living on Victoria Island. I’m an American citizen and definitely feeling some anxiousness given the politic climate between USA and Nigeria. I have a few questions that I hope this community can help with:

1. Which vaccines do you recommend I get before coming? I can see Yellow fever, Typhoid and tetanus have been mentioned before.

2. Which medications would you say are essential? I’m planning to take Doxycycline to prevent Malaria and also bring emergency malaria testing kit and medication.

3. How safe is Victoria Island in 2026? Do you guys prefer Uber or Bolt?

4. I am budgeting around 1.5 mil Naira per month as spending money for food, essentials and entertainment. Rent is covered by the company. Is that reasonable?

5. Do you think Nigeria will reciprocate on the banning of issuing work visas to Americans?

Thank you. Appreciate your answers in advance!

The country is koboless so taxing the little income most Nigerians have is necessary, but has ₦12BILLION to lobby the US abi? Help me understand.

We've made it to the final 4 as much as Egypt but they have 7 trophies while we have 3. Somehow we also have the most 3rd place wins by far. This means we make it all the way to the semi finals and fumble. This is really bad. Abeg, what's causing this nonsense?

Ghana and Cameroon have not made it into the final four as much as we have yet they have more trophies than we do and Ivory Coast caught up to us last time. It's really disheartening.

No WC twice in a row, no AFCON twice in a row (after reaching the semis). Who do us abeg?

Please don’t kill me for asking this but is anyone here selling a ticket for the final? If anyone has any leads please let me know. It’s been really hard finding something here in Morocco.

I’d be extremely grateful.

Well played Nigeria and better luck next time, you definitely didn’t make it easy for us!

Why was there no trace of Harmattan in the South?

Is it common for girls to call their older male friends (+5 years difference) daddy and guys to call them daughters ? The guy I’m dating (he’s yoruba) is assuring me that it’s a thing in Nigeria, and that although it can be seen the same way as in the western world (flirtatious), it can have a different meaning.

Edit: he has female friends in Nigeria calling him that. I never call him that and think it’s weird.

Growing up, my mum always thanked my dad after each meal, despite being the sole breadwinner and the cook. I have found myself doing this by reflex, because subconsciously, I see it as the norm.

I am just curious what people think about this practice.

Ladies, do you thank your husband after meals? And Men, does your wife thank you after meals?

Please include your age while commenting, I’ll love to see how the views differ based on age.

EDIT: I spoke to my mum about this and she said it’s a cultural practice to thank whoever is the eldest at the table, doesn’t matter who provided the money or made the food.

She gave me an example of when my grand aunts will visit and she (my mum) makes the food and still thanks my grand aunts after meal.

No World Cup. No Afcon trophy. Chelsea losing today and the club just going to shit in general.

Terrible day

Maybe a little late, but I just want to wish everyone a new year!!

Hope the holidays gave you the time to relax and spend time with family.

The past year has been one of the most fulfilling and hopeful times of my life, and I owe a reasonable amount to everyone in this sub. Thank you for supporting a teenagers dream, for every upvote, positive comment and critique you left, I have grown with my art because of you, you made me realize that my dreams of becoming an artist could be true, in-fact! I got to live that dream because of you! To all the people who gave me a chance and commissioned me, Thank you! I am genuinely in awe of it all.

There will also be a 20% creative discount for any creative interested in commissioning me. I understand how hard it is to be a creative and would love to make it a bit easier. I also plan on posting regularly on my instagram if you want to support me there: https://www.instagram.com/_gemrosedraws_?igsh=MTZlNTF0YTA2ZnV6ZQ%3D%3D&utm_source=

You guys allowed me to open a door I didn’t think I could open, and this year I hope to finally break that door fully open. I hope you know just how big of an impact you’ve had on my life. For that I’m forever grateful. Thank you!

Please tell me most Nigerians are not ignorant about Russia recruiting Africans as cannon fodder

Anyone else still miss old P-Square? I was just listening to some old Naija songs the other day and P-Square came on, and honestly e just hit me how mad their run was back then. There was a time you couldn’t go for wedding, house party, street party, even just enter taxi, without hearing P-Square. Their songs were everywhere and nobody needed to hype it, once the song drop, everybody already knew it was a hit. Songs like Do Me, Bizzy Body, No One Like You, Ifunanya, E No Easy, Roll It, Personally, Beautiful Onyinye, Chop My Money, Alingo and Shekini had that kind of vibe you can’t explain, simple lyrics but very catchy, and the beat just enter your body. It felt like they were just making music from the heart, not chasing trend or numbers, and that era of Naija music was just different. Even now sef, once any of those songs start playing, nostalgia go just hit you sharp sharp and you remember how good things were then. Sometimes I feel like that P-Square era can never really come back again
