Nairaland General › Re: On A General Note, I'm Just Sick And Tired Of Life. by 18wheeler: 10:55am On Oct 19, 2025

Brahamimo:
I'm seriously tired of life. I won't lie.

My strength has been exhausted already.

Nothing looks good to me anymore.

People are not nice. Even when you try to be Good to People, they still hurt you.

Everyone, including your family members, just want to rip you off. They only like you because of what they are benefiting from you.

Life itself is extremely Tough, harsh and cruel to the Have-nots and disadvantaged ones.

Having a soft heart doesn't help either. People take advantage of you.

You're having a challenge and nobody wants to help, but when you're out of same challenge, they come back acting as if they love you.

Everything about life irritates me right now. I am overthinking things and it has resulted in a daily Headache on one part of my head. I feel sick. I look unhappy due to the challenges I'm passing through.

My chest pains me
oluwaseunamos33

The sad truth about life today. You have to find strength somehow. Love of self is the first order of life today. No one can love you better than you would your self.

Can you help on how to do the tint permit?
After validating my VIN and uploading the car papers it will still write "V.I.N" not valid when I click on proceed.

I chose virtual verification though.

I just did the registration prior to biometric capture. The SIB in my location are not doing it so it’s pending. There was no option of virtual verification then.

EmperorIsaac:
This is bad...the teacher did not remember the course they taught him/her about child development in the university. They should suspend the teacher, pay compensation, and send the teacher back to school.

That’s if the teacher is a trained professional. These days you find any graduate delving into teaching just to make ends meet, without receiving real teacher training, especially of young children.

So my 14k wey dem collect in July don go be dat? Hope when the policy is reactivated in future they won’t ask me to pay again. That’s where I will have issues with the enforcement teams. I have my printout of the payment I made and the invitation they sent me to go for biometric capture. Anytime they want to enforce the policy, it should suffice for me to just do the biometric capture and put them behind me.

Nawa for that your friend and his shallow reasoning o, that's if you guys are still friends. The audacity to assume that you didn't need those utensils. Even if you weren't using them then, either you or your fiancee would have definitely used them later.

I was married then but stayed away from my family. Family visited only during long vacation, i did most of the travel. The kitchen is fully utilized when my wife is around, if i"m alone i hardly use it thats why he felt like i didnt need them. Well, my wife had to buy everything again on their next visit. There was almost nothung he left there

I hosted him when he got a job in the town i lived in. I left the gate key with him bexause he usually returned home before me Guy went out one night and drank beer, went home, locked the gate from inside and went to sleep. I came back and gate was locked as usual. Called him over 30x he didnt pick. Used everything available to bang on the gate still no response. Was afraid that something happened to him outside. And he was new in town. I slept in my car on the street. He woke up around 3am and saw my multiple calls then he came out. He woke me up and started begging. I didnt even answer him. Was so annoyed.
The same person emptied my kitchen utensils when he got a house and packed out. When i confronted him his response was that since he saw i wasnt much of the cooking type he felt i didnt need them so he took them for his use.

Family › Re: Parents How Much Do You Give Your Kids As Pocket Money To Take To School? by 18wheeler: 8:09pm On Jul 05, 2025

Nazgul:
There's this aunty of mine who told me she gives her 3 kids 4k each every day to take to school. I told her it's too much. Meaning she'll be spending about 12k every day for the whole term. This is minus school fees and other fees private school usually demands from their students.

When I suggested to her that giving them food from home to take to school would be more economical for her, she told me they're in secondary school so it's going to look odd. That it's only nursery and primary school students who carry food to school.

I told her that more than 65% of working class 9am-5pm Nigerians now carry food from home to work which they microwave and eat because of how expensive food has become. And they're not shy. How much more secondary school students.

So I want to throw this question to the mummies and daddies in the house, how much do you give your teenage kids in secondary school as pocket money.

I understand that things are so expensive these days. Oridinary meatpie I used to buy N200 around 2022 is now 1k. Donuts of 50-N100 is now 500-800. Plastic soda is 500. So is 4k too much for a teenager to take to school, or would you prefer they just eat to their satisfaction at home before going to school?

She has the money to spend. I give my kids food to take to school. I also take food to the office. No 4k for anybody. Even myself.

Spending money before making it. I mean spending on alcohol, smoke, women, friends and family before secruring wealth. That is what destroys a man before he is made. He will realize very early that he cant make money again when he still has needs and a long life to live. Then he woild have been totally and quickly diminished.

Business › Re: With 500k, Which Business Can Guarantee 20k Daily by 18wheeler: 7:37pm On Jun 16, 2025

Your ambition is good though high. Thing of making daily turnover of 20k first, then work on increasing it. Business has stages. Early stage, you are investing so it’s more of spending than earning. Then growth where you would have put everything in place and you will be earning revenues that will be covering the cost of investment. You may break even at this stage. Then maturity stage where your investment will be returning revenues to you with little spending, just running expenses. This is where you will be making profits maybe up to 50000 daily. Then decline stage will come when revenue drops either fir to competition or some other factors. At this stage you will need to reinvest either through expansion, new technology , and the like to boost the business back to profitability. It is hard to just start and begin to make such huge profits. It’s not impossible though.

Since from the days of transistor radios we call world receivers I’ve always been a radio person. Now I have simple radio app and use it listen to bbc, voa, dw and many other internet radio stations. Anytime I’m in Jos my car stereo is strictly on fm. From peace fm 90.5 to rhythm 93.7. There is also 101.5(can’t remember the name) , highland fm, JayFM, and recently Dr. fish fm. Radio rocks any time
