Deserving. You've paid your dues.

Only problem I have is people asking for handouts when you talk how much you earn.

Which brings me to the question: what's the reason for asking?
Thanks.
For the last question, there are a few reasons I can give from my experience.

Some ask from genuine need for help. I dont hesitate to give if I can prove the genuineness.

Others feel entitled to part of what you earn; this category include relatives and close friends especially those you grew together. These ones are dangerous.

There are those that think you earn so much more than you need and should "cut soap" for them. They dont feel bad if you don't give but don't usually believe any reason you give for not being able to give them money and that wont stop them asking another time.

There are the habitual beggars. They just ask because they see you. These dont require much. As small as 1K can settle between you. Sometimes even a bottle of beer offered and they are ok. But they can come 100 times a month.

Hope I answered you to some extent.

What do you expect from a compromised people. Forget that it's a place of worship. You dont to the right thing, you get the negative result. Nature has no considerations for your flaws.

I love this gesture. May the hearts of men with means and intention be blessed. May the means of those with intention be increased to extend same gesture to those in need. And may the hearts of those in need not forget to do same when their means increase.

I give you an A for effort, a B++ for delivery. You did well. You can actually make a living from dance if you decide to make it your main hustle. Otherwise, enjoy yourself through dancing.

25k a month as a manager?

Are you and your wife wicked?
We aren't. He was not manager in the real sense but was a worker actually. He fed the birds, collected droppings and picked eggs. Cleaning and disinfection was done by a specialist whom we hired and paid per call.
To make it clearer, the feeders and drinkers are semi automated. He filled one container and the system distributed round the troughs with minimal human effort for the feeds but water system was fully auto. The droppings were collected on paper sheets below the battery cages housing the birds so he only needed to pull the paper off and fold them then replace. Farm has a room, toilet and kitchen for accommodation so he didn't pay any rent or transport. Theres an overhead tank connected to his apartment with water flowing 24/7. There's also a brooding room which I didnt use so he used it as extra room for some of his stuff (this accommodation could cost up to 50k p.a if it was rented as per Jos levels). I also allowed him to do his bike business for 4 hours daily after he finished his routine. Sundays were free for him because my wife did the routine herself. It was a fair deal that's why he begged to remain but the damage he did was too much and he had to leave.

Guy was on 25k monthly salary managing wife's farm. He entered a supply deal with indomie&chips woman across the road. He would steal eggs in the night and sell to her. Dude was taking approximately 30% share of the proceeds.

HealthRe: What Can I Do To Save My Hairline From Going Back? (pics) by 18wheeler: 3:29am On Mar 13, 2022
If your hairline will recline, it will. You can't do anything about it. Rich people have reclined hairlines and they couldn't do anything about it. Make money, be happy, enjoy life and forget the attributes that nature bestowed you with. Dont waste your time stressing over what you can't change, rather, channel your energy to what makes you happy. Money inclusive.

We need the petrol in the stations and not the stores dammit. To fill a tank is 13000 naira now. Something of less than 9000 naira a month ago.
If they want to deregulate they should do and let's move the hell forward. All this artificial scarcity, distraction and suffering is what we least desire presently.

Car TalkRe: Does Third Party Insurance Work In Nigeria? by 18wheeler: 7:30am On Feb 17, 2022
Third party insurance works. It's just more expensive than the police pass that majority subscribe to. If you pay the premium, you will get compensated.
My colleague got payment of 120 thousand naira last year when a truck carrying rice tilted at a traffic stop and the bags of rice fell on his car shattering some glass and damaging the trunk lid of the car. It was not up to the cost of repair but I'm sure it covered 90% of it.

If is hands are clean they shouldn't bother him.

I run POS centers in Lagos, I am looking for a partner who will put 100k in and get back 20k everymonth (10k part of your initial money and 10k returns on investment (ROI) every month) for 10 months contact me with the number below in my profile
I initially thought you wanted to pay 20k interest on a 100k investment in POS and I wanted to doubt it. But since it includes the debt repayment I think it's reasonable. I have a relative I support to do same. Started with 120k and returned 9k interest in the 1st month. I raised the cash capital to 300k in December and the person returned 37k gain after tax. I'm talking of the agent commission paid by the bank. That is approximately 10% gain which is very ok for me. I think your proposal is reasonable I would have invested if you were close to me where i can physically monitor daily activities myself.

FoodRe: Bought A Tin Of Peak Milk And Milo For Four Thousand Seven Hundred Naira by 18wheeler: 6:52am On Jan 11, 2022
aribisala0:
Trust me there is nothing sensible in humans consuming the milk of other animals/ Fresh milk is bad enough but powdered milk is just senseless.
What should people feed their children.

I recommend a course of nutritional education read up on every single thing you put in your mouth search with the term "nutritional information"

Milk is not that nutritious

For protein locally you will find the highest content in Egusi/melon seeds
Give your kids moin moin
akara beans
Groundnut
cashew nuts
Turkey
Snake meat
soya
Fish
chicken
Eggs
Those are very good sources of protein

Powdered milk is very liable to adulteration and poisoning be warned, avoid it
Thanks for the recommendation. It is well taken.
