Everyone is living on borrowed time, invest yours wisely, money should be the least thing you spend your loaned hours chasing, not worth it.

Religious people have really suffered in this country

A nationwide overhaul of the police force is long overdue, until then, the police in this country will continue to be a laughing stock and a disgrace to the nation.

See how well dressed and beautiful they look, disability shouldn't be a reason to be dirty and unkept like we see in some other regions.

Otti ticking all the right boxes, can say he is the best governor in modern day Nigeria.

Man have outlived his usefulness in this country, high time he picks his call and move on.

I hate hired helps around my house, I and wifey plan our schedule to accommodate children well fair and housekeeping, though not an easy task but a small price to pay to keep the devil away.

Tinubu keeps pressing the neck of all the bad eggs in this country like June 12, next time you will vote wisely sentiments aside.

All these woke witches posing as wives in diaspora will not stop till they ruin a man, she forgot they had left her power territory (Yankee) and have landed the mother land aka red pill zone, baba go use her eye see rodo, she will lurnnn

This kind of online trolling is not necessary, you might eventually cost the businessman a lucrative business opportunity with the government. Shut up!

OBTOREPA:
1.1b ko 1.1b ni
Lies dey smell, 20 trailers of indomitable is not upto 1.1b. So how manage?

I believe the heist had been going on for a while before they were discovered.

A good move at the right time and in the right direction, solution is here

Only in Nigeria, even Federal government university does not trust the Federal government, wahala

Dude just lost more than Dangote's entire net worth in a single day? that's some real power bro.
These are the kind of men that are supposed to be using the popular naija phrase "money na water"

Northern youths no gree for anybody wallahi,
The FG must do the needful, bring fuel price down and implement better policies to support the naira or else...

People should understand, the north don't know what protest is, they understand it's a public call to vandalize and loot

What are they waiting for, loot the damn house dry, that's where your common wealth is hidden. Gwo gwo gwon gwo

Who would respect a man that even the ground upon which he is standing intimidates him

Africa is waking up, and all our oppressors and their puppet presidents will dance.

See as Nigeria started working all of a sudden, power truly belongs to the people, if we keep quiet in this country they will eventually feed us their excrement and whip our backs if we refuse to eat.

Tomorrow is never promised to anyone, it's wise to live for the moment, enjoy your today like it's going to be your last, make amends with both God and men, and give thanks if your eyes are still open to face another day.

Nigerians and their devilish greed from top to bottom

Nigerian common wealth have been hijacked by a handful of people, plunging the entire nation into stagnation and abject poverty, and some fools here think it's funny and begin to down play everything, shey tomorrow you will start running up and down looking for visa abi, na God go punish you, I hope the protest starts with all foreign embassies in Lagos and Abuja so you can't escape when the ember you are fanning today grows to consume you.

The worms have started coming out, we have been living in Nigeria A, blindly ingnorant of the existence of a Nigeria B, where the real shit happens. My father my father

Good day Nairalanders, last year I made a thread about my confusion relocating abroad or staying back in Nigeria to invest and got different opinions.. https://www.nairaland.com/7724820/relocate-stay-nigeria-serious-dilemma

Some people advised I stay and some insisted I travel (i wished I started making plans to travel then).The country wasn’t that bad as naira was around 700-800/$ and inflation wasn’t this bad.. And also, I was in a better financial standing with properties worth atleast 70m as of then,

Walk with me.


I have been a crypto trader for 7 years and literally made 90% of my money from crypto which set me up. I bought properties worth millions , my car, one for my mom and settled a few persons and finally got married to my longtime GF. I felt untouchable and didn’t for once think things would take a different turn in my life. However, my life took a drastic turn when I lost my daughter shortly after birth. This devastating event sent me into a downward spiral, affecting my mental health and trading decisions that cost me thousands of dollars including my trading capital.
After I lost my trading capital, I was broke with a grieving wife and put my first property for sale.

Sold the property for 16m by then dollar was already 850 and rapidly growing, I removed some money for house upkeep for months and converted the rest to dollar to continue on my crypto trading since that was my only source of income and my area of specialty.
I was grieving and trading (don’t know if it was my coping mechanism). Traded recklessly at the same time having issues in my family cos my mom made serious issues after we lost our baby, all this while I never knew she hated my wife and her family.. she initially told me not to get married to the girl and her family siting so many spiritual reasons but all fell on a deaf ear because I couldn’t imagine my mom making decisions for me or telling me who I should marry or not.. tension grew in the family and at the same time I was fighting for my finances together with dealing with a wife that just lost a child.. terrible period for me.. I was in between the devil and the deep blue Sea.. things didn’t go as planned with my trading and I ended up blowing up that money., and it downed on me that things are getting really serious and I need to face these challenges squarely.

I got broke again and since I’m a family man, I must always provide for my family so I always have to do something.. I contemplated selling my second property worth 30m for weeks before I finally concluded on selling it since I need money for investment or something to plan the money with. That was when I created that thread debating on traveling or staying back in Nigeria.. investing that money in Nigeria was not feasible and making sense to me considering the inflation as naira was almost hitting 900-100/$.
I didn’t know what business to do that won’t make me throw away my money or waste my time. Crypto was still the only business I was good in so I decided to diverse another means so I won’t loose money. I realized over trading was the problem because I was basically looking for a new project to invest in which most of them turned out to be scam.. so I made research on good projects to invest that money on

I found good projects I was confident on. I had everything already figured out. The plan was to invest that money and not trade till the end of 2024/2025 since I sold the property July 2023. I also remember vividly how my wife told me to use part of that money to buy other landed properties but I was adamant and felt I got things figured out already.. so I did exactly as I planed and also moved from that house we were living in to a different place and also started to learn tech. Along the line I got discouraged learning tech and felt I was wasting my time instead of looking for ways to make money. I realized it’s quite difficult for some people that have seen millions of naira to start learning a new skill or going to school.. it’s actually one of the hardest things to do. it takes a different kind of motivation and drive to push urself.

I don’t know how it happened but I found myself going back to trading again, I keep dipping my hands in my long term cryoto investments each time I needed capital to trade since it was taking forever for the coin to grow.. (if I had left what i invested, it would’ve been worth $300k by now with the 25m from my property I sold )

It was really a humbling situation for me. I went from having my life figured out to fighting again for my life… All these period my wife was already pregnant again after she got a miscarriage after loosing our first child. So now I’m not just fighting for myself and wife but a child is in the picture now.. things got worse in the new house we moved to as I kept loosing money on money.. I never had any profitable month in the new house.. I usually have eye for good projects to invest in but I began loosing my confidence and ended my selling so many good projects I invested in before they breakthrough.. I’ve had a case of missing out on a project that would’ve giving me $600k just because I sold it too early. Several other projects too. It was a repetition of circles. It seems I was going round in an unending circles.

I ended up selling another property in my new house worth 20m and also my car worth 11m, it happened like magic and.. I can’t really explained how these things happened but it happened too fast like some kind of evil manipulation or some gambling addiction on crypto.. I wasn’t a careless person, I don’t smoke and don’t drink, don’t womanise either.. so many thoughts ran through my mind even about my mom telling me not to marry my wife because she have had so many bad dreams about the girl and her family, she believes my problems started since I married the girl and she warned me.. God also blessed me with a child as my wife put to birth successfully

I asked my self could it be spiritual or physical? I also come from a relatively poor family that im the only grandchild doing well in the whole family from A-z.. my father died years ago.. my wife’s family is a progressive family that her cousins and direct siblings are in America and Canada so how could what my mom is saying be true. Well I never believed in any of those things right from the beginning but seeing the trajectory of my life in a space of 2 years make me begin to wonder

I already believe it to be my recklessness and probably gambling on crypto hoping to hit it big but on the other hand I’m not a newbie in this biz,, I have been grinding in this for atleast 7 years and got experience in this biz, its seems my years of hard work got wiped in a space of a year +

Now I’ve a property left valued at 18m that’s like a lifeline and already decided I won’t invest in crypto but use that money to travel out,, I’m back to learning the tech skill I have been avoiding for years and pushing myself hard everyday. The aim is to use the rest of the year to improve my skill to a significant level and be good at it by next year

This feels like a learning process and at same time a humbling experience for me, I have been without a vehicle for the past 4 months now.. I’ve made so much in life and almost lost everything even at a young age.. life can be very funny, when I had all the money I lost my child, when God finally blessed me with a child, I’m now fighting for my finances with my rent almost due and waiting for my property to be sold before I balance my rent.

I know i probably would’ve started a physical business in the past but looking at the current situation of Nigeria and inflation hitting ath I doubt my business could’ve survived but still this is a lesson of me putting all my eggs in one basket and still thinking Nigeria has any future. If I probably had travelled years ago when things weren’t this bad in Nigeria and I still had lots of resources, I doubt I would be in this situation..

Selling that land feels right now like I’d be starting life afresh with no property to my name… it hurts me so bad I’m even ashamed to explain this to anyone. Only my wife understands the level of damage that has happened in our lives the past 2 years. I can’t even tell my mom details of all of these.

I’m writing this out there so people can learn one or two from it,, I’d be 32 in few months time and I’m picking up myself by learning a tech skill and relocate from the country. I also plan relocating to Abuja first so I can be close to the embassy as regards to visa interviews runs etc I want to dedicate the next 1 year in traveling runs and perfecting a tech skill I can bank on when I travel. My story is quite deeper than this but I’m not a long writer so I just touched the most important part.

I will probably come back here in a year time or 2 years to write my progress in life . Thanks for reading

I have a multi millionaire crypto trader friend with 100% similar story as yours, he kept on selling priced properties and blowing it until he finally met with me and declared his intentions for partnership in one of my businesses, maybe we should link up when you get to Abuja, there is still more than enough money to be made in this country, all you need is meet the right people willing to give proper guidance on what works best. Sorry for all you had to go through at your age.

The most overrated governor in modern Nigerian politics.

Trump won't forgive or forget, he is very similar to Tinubu in that aspect.

In Nigeria, Everything is cash n carry

This makes little sense. i think Dangote should find a way to bring his own price down and the marketers will have no other option than to patronize him. Air peace did that too

The biggest problem Dangote is facing currently is access to raw materials (crude oil), the Nigerian government is not interested in doing business with him and his foreign suppliers have ganged up to frustrate him by hoarding supply at the behest of foreign refiners who sees him as a very big threat to their business.
Reason you see the once quite billionaire shouting all over social media like a content creator, cos every single minute his refinery will be losing millions without production.
