He is a born thief, naturally thieving was in his blood.What is he doing 150 handsets?

Why will grown up men with big tommy be stealing phones. When you see them in the beer parlour, they will be singing, my container dey for sea. Na two bullion van dey carry my money to bank. There no remedy for stealing. Na blud em dey.

150 phones and he doesn't have Trumps number in any of the phone.. Too poor

I still don't know why men lovee stealing

Biacan, but you beg more than Lazarus the beggar.
You send PM to small boys on Nairaland begging them for money and you still have mouth to talk nonsense.

If your father, your brothers and the men in your family are thieves who love stealing, that's your family problem. Not all men suffer from your family curse.

No matter how you look at it, laziness does not pay. Hustling pays though, it is a gradual process. May good bless legit hustlers out there.
