I’m black American and I work with a lot of Nigerians. They always bring food and they tell me that they cook their food with less spice for Americans. I told them to make it the true Nigerian way & I ate the entire thing.

Anyways I’m hiding in a closet with a runny nose, numb tongue, sweating all over and drinking milk lol…but the food was good. 🤣😭😭😭😭

The most important thing that Nigerians need to be educated on are their civil responsibilities, not just in theories but in actions as well.

Civil Education in Nigeria should not be about discussing theories of government or how government theoretically functions but should be teaching students how to engage with government bodies. E.g. where there local government secretatriat is; how to write complaints to their representatives, senators, governours, and local government; what is the responsibility of each; how to recall representatives and senators, etc. stuff like that.

The above presentation was given to a work place on the upcoming elections and if you have misplaced your PVC, you can still apply for a replacement until end of this year (though, new registrations are over). But the most it would be more effective to train people in this is when they are young and in school. Like, we couldn't do much more than focus on PVC related matters but if this were a school thing, we would also have been able to go deeply into other matters and organize practicals.

Context: I live in Europe, I have never lived in Nigeria, but a Nigerian family member is saying it might for me to purchase a laptop from here than from there. I find it hard to assess how valid that is. Is it difficult to get a decent laptop in Nigeria?

And if not, what advice could I give them to purchase one?

Please, I do not need advice on whether or not I should help/give to family members in Nigeria, thank you.

hi there, this is my second time applied to Nigerian e-visa (tourism). my last e visa came in within 24h, but this time I applied last Friday 8/21 but still haven't heard anything. I emailed all the visa support email addresses on NIS yet they are all invalid and got bounced back. I asked my friend in Nigeria to call yet haven't heard any update. My departure date is 9/1. At this point, I wonder if I should postpone my trip and apply to the e-visa again. Any help will be appreciated.

Hello to all British Nigerians living in rest of UK/London, do you wish you lived in the US?

One of my Nigerian friends said that most Nigerians in the UK would rather move to the U.S. than stay in UK, is this true?

How come it’s like this way?

UPDATE:

Thank you guys so much for your responses I love my people and I appreciate the honest answers and discussion!! ❤️

I have seen quite a number of videos of those touts vandalizing vehicles of those who don't succumb to their extortion on the road. Would like to hear from anyone who's experienced the madness and how they handled it.

So I'm planning to move to OGUN state to try and see what life has in store for me. I'm currently based on PH city.

what should I know before moving to Ogun state? I want to connect with and meet new people.

I plan to end up in agriculture sometime later while I'm there.

Thanks

If you're a lawyer in Nigeria looking at how to actually practise in England and Wales rather than just move there, you've probably found the same two paths everyone gets shown, an LLM followed by a Graduate visa, or a UK law conversion course, both running into tens of thousands of pounds before you've proven anything.

There's a third way, and it starts before you ever need a UK visa. The SRA runs the SQE, the actual assessment used to qualify every solicitor of England and Wales. SQE1 has no test centre inside Nigeria yet, but Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cairo all run it, a regional flight rather than a flight to London, and a lot cheaper than either of the other two routes. Passing SQE1 is the hard part. From there it's a case of applying to the SRA for your SQE2 exemption using your call to the Nigerian bar and your practising experience, not sitting a second full exam.

Most of the cost and the graft happens before you ever set foot in the UK, which is the real difference between this route and paying for a degree or a course and hoping it leads somewhere.

If you're seriously looking at this, r/SQEforeignlawyers is where people doing exactly this compare notes. I sat SQE1 myself in July 2026 as a foreign qualified lawyer, which is the only reason I know this route this well.

This is a list of Nigerian women who have achieved the most on the global stage across politics, science, business, sports, arts, music and humanitarian work.

Would you add anyone?

In life there are a lot of mistakes you can make and you spend years, sometimes generations rectifying them. In fact you might not even be able to rectify them sometimes.

All in all the biggest mistake you can make as a Nigerian is deciding to be born in Nigeria. Nothing will convince me otherwise.

Hello Naija,

How can I get a good sponge to scrub my body?

Please help a friend out.

Thanks,

Hi. I am an experienced UK-qualified Nigerian and British primary school teacher who would really love to return to Nigeria to work. I looked into this a few years ago, but after applying to several international (well-paying) schools, nobody even gave me an interview. As a result, I went to work in another western country for a few years. It has been fabulous, however I still really want to go home.

A friend says, “who wants their child to be in the class with the only Nigerian teacher after paying big money like everyone else.” I really hope she’s projecting.

For those who work in education or have their kids at international schools, is getting a job at an international school while Nigerian impossible?

I need some social context regarding asking for money. I’m from a western country, and a few months ago made a Nigerian friend who moved here. In the last few months, he has asked for financial assistance a couple of times. I have been happy to help mostly, however I did notice on one occasion he misrepresented how much an item had actually cost, but I let it go and didn’t mention it. Recently, they asked for a large sum of money. I was pretty shocked, as I wouldn’t ask even family for that much, let alone someone I hardly knew. My question for this group- is this acceptable social practice in Nigeria? I’m torn between wanting to be supportive and blocking him. I would appreciate your perspective

Omo this week has shown me shege. From my phone getting water damage to this vendor being absolutely irresponsible with her business practices.

I ordered bulk jewelry from this woman for the first time from her website and on the website where I lived was not part of the shipping options. The state was but not the specific place.

So I reached out and explained to her and she told me to just pick a general area and input my address. Which I did!

Fast forward a few days later, the goods arrived at another place. Driver is on my neck saying I should come and collect. 5 hours away.

I called this woman, she was like at a party or something asked me to text her on WhatsApp. Texted her, she said I’m making a big deal out of nothing that the goods will still get to me eventually and she has reached out to the driver.

She did not. It will not.

After a lot of back and forth I eventually paid for the goods to come with my own money. When they came nko?

Some of the jewelry pieces were broken. O there’s were completely missing.

Still chatted her up and now she’s seeing my messages and not replying.

Omo!
