Chiggsglover: Great thread! By the way, you mean you get 1TB at €20? That's roughly 14k naira. Meanwhile Here in Nigeria MTN only gives 75GB @ 20k. We're fuucked man. 7 Likes |

badmanjo: As in eh! But seriously I don't blame our network providers like MTN and co. Government should take bulk of the blame for failing to provide basic infrastructure like power. Imagine in this day and age Nigerians still shout "up NEPA" 2 Likes |

I get you jare bro, the government definitely benefits from the misery of Nigerians that's why they won't put the necessary infrastructure in place, my children won't Sha follow me and shout up Nepa by His grace themaestro08: 1 Like |

Chiggsglover: Thanks for the feedback. The providing the formula part must be a great relieve for people like me who dislike maths, guess your school really understand the true meaning of "life no hard". I guess I'll have to face my fears now. Yeah.. I have been learning python for over a couple of months now and I'm doing pretty well, apparently. I have been able to build some basic python projects like madlib, number guessing game, among others. Trying to move on to a library, what python library would you suggest for data analytics ? 6 Likes 1 Share |

This is from Boohoo, this online store is mostly between uk and Ireland. I guess burna boy and Rema both came to model some of their special collection. Why I love this store is once you pay for a premier service, you get to ship for free. And stuff you order for here, arrives within a week. If not for the Pandemic, it would arrive in few days. And they do spend alot of money on their models. The way the cloth appear is how you get it unlike some other stores. Although its fast fashion, but it's very handy to have especially if you need stuffs and youre too busy to buy them yourself. You save time and the tfare which is usually a cap of €5 for a day. Same €5 will cover the delivery charges for a year here. Because I work around my area, I dont have any much need to visit town. I try to save myself from unnecessary waste of time as much as I can. Anything I can pay for to save myself time, I try to consider it. When I say town, I mean, city center, it's usually the busiest part of a state. I posted lots of pictures about it, you'll normally see lots of people in droves. For exam in Lagos, our city centre is Lagos Island, Victoria island might be downtown. I used to hate going to Lagos island when I was younger cos of how extremely crowded it is. I got nice scarves, sweatshirts, turtlenecks, boots, face caps, tshirts, perfumes and all from this store. With €27, ill Burn like the Boy 7 Likes

For those of you thinking I arranged my room specifically for this shoot, dont stress yourself, lots of places to hide away your things so it's easy to keep clean and neat. I only made my bed and that's easy with the heavy duvet. Dont mind me, I have started using candles, you people should come and save me o 18 Likes 1 Share

I came upon a lovely art work here, the bigger one is called Young Girl in a Boat by Renoir. Absolute lovely. If seems to have lost color which might tell how old it is and increase its value. If I bought the house and everything in it. To sell this art, I'll have to take it to a specialist like the curator, who will examine the authenticity and an appraiser to get the value Theres alot of items with hidden value. A woman bought a chinese vase in UK for less than €50, only for her to discover it was worth $9million, this was discovered early this year. My eyes have been sharp ever since. I started to appreciate vintage items and all. I would have visited the curiosity shop, charity shops and all, but this lockdown has them all closed. Although this room is much bigger, but my rent is the same. And the location is closer to work and would save me some stress. The major reason I moved was cos of noise, for some reason, I could hear the guy above me talking on the phone, sometimes he would talk till 12, I now have to wait till he ends the call before I can sleep. So that was my signal. I started going through the housing app and found this. There was no furniture from the picture so I decided to have a look all the same. What's the harm in that. Surprisingly, it was brimming with lovely furnitures, I had to reject some. I insisted on having two couches tho. � 6 Likes 1 Share

badmanjo:It is big actually, the striking thing is the furniture. It's super convenient. I'm a very funny person. I spent my birthday in this house. Celebrated with myself. Sleeping in this huge bed was a good treat for me. And it was silent. I woke up from sleep with birds tweeting. That was very satisfying. I had to leave my former place cos I could hear my neighbor talking on the phone. He would talk into the night, I subconsciously had to wait till 12 am or 1am before I could sleep. I would have complained but will he start making his calls in the cold sitting room? if the call was for 1hr, it would have been bareable. He would speak for 6hrs straight. And my being found it ridiculous and vastly uncomfortable. How can a guy be on the phone for say 5 hours talking ooooo!!!! My babe was using style to extend the video call to more than one hours, I would only sit, listen and laugh. It's normal for me to go spend a month without even making a single call. My family in Nigeria have complained and have gotten used to it. Noise!!!!!! It's a big thing here, the houses here were built when there wasn't any regulations on things like Soundproofing.... be ready to hear the stairs creak when you walk around, be ready to hear your walk around and God help you if they have their gf come around. You will hear the service from opening prayer to praise and worship, sermon and closing prayer. Especially if you're downstairs. You go hear am ooo. Only way to escape this is to get a modern house or an apartment. One of my Irish buddy said he gets disturbed also by some noise in his apartment . Maybe it was built by a shady and shoddy builder. Or it was built way before the building regulation on soundproofing was created. Or one of his neighbor has a huge speaker. The noise is caused by the use of wood for flooring, and stairs.... and you know how dried wood sounds upon impact...well, I lived in a British house in Lagos, Nigeria, when I was younger, my family wasn't doing well like now. It was actually very old TBH. It's a one storey building. You know those buildings with bricks in the middle, with designs that's more British. It's very common to see such buildings in bungalows and one storey. I can remember I used to hear the music my neighbor plays above me. And my parents would grumble because they didn't like that genre of music he repeats. I asked the irish people. Why is it that they hate skyscrapers. They said in the event of fire, how can they save people....that skyscrapers were souless with just boring glass with no intricate designs. Stone masons can't shape glass like they do to stones that will stand the test of time. It's really hard to know a modern house as they look the same, the best bet is to get an extension. I've lived in an extension myself and it was very peaceful. The extension is a part of the house built without a floor above you. It's like a bungalow attached to the house cement instead of zinc. The only noise you'll hear is the one coming from your walls. My first single room was an extension. I posted the picture here. With red sofa and all. You'll be shocked to know that that room was more expensive than where I live currently. The high price was because it was close to a big university. I live well away from there now. that's how it is. University really drive up the prices of things and bring about development and even employment.... you need to see what they're doing in nigeria. The speaker thing is real. In my former house with the huge long garden, a neighbor well on the other side would set up a kind of karaoke with huge speaker and start singing gibberish. It won't disturb me as I was way in front of the house. I only hear it when I'm in the garden. But his next door neighbor would hear it. Though it stopped within a week though. My Family think I'm weird for not celebrating my birthday. Though I do treat myself when I'm alone, away from them. A lot of the time, I'm reminded by my bank, university...why I don't celebrate is story for another day. As for the Antiques. Na only me Waka come o. 8 Likes |
