You can earn legitimate income working from home as a student


Hi Student


I've noticed many students create posts asking what to do to make decent income and are confused on what to do.


I am making myself available to mentor as much as 20 students who are willing to train to become proficient content writers.



It only requires your interest and willingness. So you can be a student and still work alongside studies writing articles and making part time income


First time writers can earn between 15,000 and 40,000 Naira monthly so it's an excellent way to make additional income for yourself.


Note, after your mentorship, you'll be provided with steady writing opportunities where you'll write articles and get paid weekly..

She is right to an extent. Being an only son means you family will be overprotective and over interfering. They hardly let a wife have peace. Not that it is deliberate, but in their bid to protect the only thing they have, they tend to scatter a perfect thing that would probably have made their brother's life happier. And most times , poor souls, the sons themselves do not see the harm the family is causing them.

Sorry bro.
I had a suitor; the only son, I did not even think it twice. I told him NO. His mum was already pressuring him to bring a wife home and I was not ready for these womb watchers. Na so I cut out

The number one issue is that only son normally die earlier (don't get me wrong because it not your portion in ijn) reason is that the eyes of the enemies is always on them.
but when there plenty boys the enemies will be confused who to channel their arsenal first and most time it will be on the first son.

Maybe her past experience was awful. You just have to prove her wrong if you think her assertion is not right.

Meanwhile, if you'd like to learn internet marketing or looking for a side hustle, there's a link in my signature that could be of help to you. The same has helped me to solve my financial troubles.

Bro Bro Bro, your Bae’s perspective towards such is not true, prolly she has a diety her Family worships that forbids having anything to do with the only Son in the Family. I’m the only Son outta 4 kids. Every girl I dated never complained about being the only Son, even my present relationship goes well knowing I’m the only Dude. Orisa kini ama ti pe yi si bayi?

Bro...It is no stereotype but the absolute truth.

The level of favoritism that goes into being the only son is astonishing!

You are likened to the “Golden egg” who will carry the family’s legacy (hence being a spoilt child). Don’t allow the 21st century’s manipulation that all child are equal deceive you. You will always get favored by your parents than your siblings. undecided

This one you are complaining about being the only son, what do you want those of us who are the First born son to do?

While I was out on my first date with my girlfriend, she asked me how many sibling I have, to which I replied. She then proceeded to ask the number of males and females. Then I told her I only have sisters. That moment, her face dropped because we were already Into each other, I could tell she was disappointed.

She tried to hide this, but I noticed. This was Probably because that wasn't the first time I would be getting that reaction from people especially women the moment I tell them I'm the only son of my parents.

I queried her on her sudden change of mood and she told me that she has had unfavorable relationship experiences (twice) in the past with only Sons and has vowed never to try it again. She reasoned that only Sons are too clingy to their families, overpampered, emotionally needy and dependent on their families and hardly have a mind of their own. She also accused the families of always trying to pilot the affairs of the guys even to the extent of making life changing decisions for them.

When i was young, I also had friends who thought I was pampered, showered with extraordinary love and care and that my parents can't turn down any request from me. But the truth is that I never got any special treatment from my parents. The same curtain wire, broom, hanger my mom used to whip my sisters, she also used on me.

My point is that it's unfair to lump people together and label them. If an only son happens to be clingy, it has nothing to do with his status. He would have still been that way if he had 10 brothers.
So I was once with an only son (his mum) and she's the reason we're no longer together.

Re: Stereotype About Only Sons by CCC2(m): 2:19pm On Feb 25, 2020
The truth is this, we assume second husband to our mom. They may give us same disciplinary with siblings but nothing must happen to us. especially from the eastern part of Nigeria.
You are the future of the linage and your decision will affect the entire family. As such, your choice is subject to scrutiny but you need wisdom to know where to draw the line, otherwise u will be ruined.

As for the girl, let her work on herself. All the family want is a wife with a unifying instinct. I think she has a motive of crisis.

My dad was an only son. He passed away in his 90s. Not bad in a country where life expectancy is just over 50 years old.

True that eyes will be on them. You have to be super diplomatic and tactful.

Yes, mostly eyes on you if your dad is VERY wealthy and or polygamous.

The main challenge is that you will have too many responsibilities on your shoulders. Especially if other family members are not too well off.

Help others to be independent. The your problem is a bit less.

If anything an only son learns responsibilities early. Though it depends on individual families.

Mad oo

Well...she may be right based on her previous experience. She now has a preconceived notion that you'll be like those ones too.

If she's wise,,she'll watch your character for a while and ask some subtle questions before categorizing you ..Failure on her path to so this, shows she's just a frustrated fellow hoping for the right man and beginning to find you unworthy

My brother.. Just tell her straight up that you're not like that and if she isn't satisfied with you,,she can go find another guy with 5 brothers and 5 sisters that won't be clingy.

I rest my case.
