Everyone (including the scrollers and unregistered members) should have one thing to be thankful for: Good health!

i'm irreligious but Lia Lia ihlia Allah if you alive and breathing.

Secondly, All Nigeria citizens should be thankful Nigeria isn't at war. Do you imagine what Ukraine and Palestine are going through now?

Thirdly, Everyone should be thankful for the Innovation of Whatapp, how can you not appreciate the technology that enables you communicate with the world for free. If you were sending SMS, do you realize how much you would be spending annually?

Fourtly, If you are debt free with atleast 5k to your name in your bank account; you should be thankful.

Fifly, If you a man (married or unmarried) and has reached a point in life this year where sex don't appeal to you again because you haven had more than enough of it. Congratulations, that's an achievement unlocked in the masculine world.

Sixthly, If you a woman (married or unmarried) who does not need to depend on man to afford to buy a car or owns one already. Congratulations, you have reached that threshold of self reliance. (P ussy sellers not inclusive)

*It's more expensive to manage a girlfriend if she is solely dependent on you but very cheap to manage a hook up babe who works but does runs on the side.

*It's more expensive to patronize hook up babe who does hook up full time but very cheap to maintain a girlfriend who works and not solely dependent on you.

*In the case of both not working — it's cheaper to manage a hook up babe but learn to beat down prices and have a personal spending limit (price cap). And for a girl you interested in (to date), get her engaged with something to do or find a job for her before you get serious with her. Her financial seriousness will determine if you will commit to her or keep managing hook up till you find a financially bouyant lady to date.

An all out war won't be in Tehran's interest because their economy would go to dust. While the U.S keeps backing the IDF.

A sensible step to take is to keep covertly supporting all their proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis etc with financial aids and weapon to enable them to launch deep into Tel Aviv. This could go on for years until Isreal agrees to come to the negoting table with Palestine to honor the two state solution.


It worked for Iran backed Houthis against Saudi Arabia before China brokered peace. It will certainly work with Isreal and Isreal would consider talks because neither IDF or US wants an escalation. In the event if an escalation, the U.S won't be able to contain it and Isreal will be wiped off the map even if they deploy their nuclear weapons.

The most pitiable grace to grass story you will ever read is that of Chevrolet (part owner of Chevrolet Automobil).

How does a person in a backseat play a role from the passenger's seat? What is the role playing here?


How does this practically apply to a marriage?

If I have to explain this — it will totally establish the fact that I'm lecturing a kid who doesn't know the dynamics and power play in man and woman relationship.

Please save me the time to type here and just go learn from the basics on YouTube crash course or Wikipedia on Google.

This is most likely NOT going to happen with that amount.

This is huge money, if you are to spend 1 dollar a day, it will take you 32 or 33 years to exhausted that money (not taking account of inflation).

To answer this your question of what only happens in the dream:

1 - I would splurge on properties to the tune of 500 million dollar (not only in Nigeria, also around Africa, Eastern Europe, Oil rich East Asia and West Asia ) Stay away from the west due to tax.

2 - 250 million dollars would be used to purchase stocks in U.S tech companies, U.S bonds, Chinese Bonds and Russia Bonds.

3- 100 Million dollars to tempt a successful business owner here in Nigeria and buy out his business, but strike a deal to keep him on the board of directors. That way I don't have to start a new business from scratch, thereby loosing money in uncharted territory.

4 - 70 million dollars to build a 4 star standard hotels and build shopping complexes in Lagos.

5 - 50 Million dollars would be converted to USTD to trade crypto on Binance. I would trade like a whale trader. A maker, shaker and manipulator of the market.

My money will pump up dead coins and as soon as volume comes into the market, I will dump on them, make twice my money back, rinse and repeat with another coin.


6 - 30 million dollars for my personal effects, family, moderate looking car or a Ford/Toyota Hilux truck.

Lastly, Profits from most of my holdings and investments will go to charities and Charitably course as my kids will inherit whatever business generated the profits.

This confusion is confusioning my head.

Stay at the back seat, but operate from the passenger seat?? ?? ??

you missed the "play a role" part.

A woman who knows her place to be at the back seat — and still play a role like a partner in the passenger seat while she let her husband be in the driver seat all day, everyday.

Key points are:

* 'Knows' her place to be in the backseat.

* Play a role like a partner in the passenger seat.


An unsubmissive woman, knows her place as nature dictates, but due to post-mordenism she thinks man and woman are equal enough to ride in the driver seat.

1 - Women — but not draining because it's calculated amongst other items in my budget alongside food stuff, so the amount is fixed.

2 - Data — All my phones has to be internet ready due to the nature of my business.

3 - Savings — Savings drains my spare cash and leaves me waiting till the next pay day.

*Life is game, Ain't no referee but some people try to make God their refree, others rely on the government and legal system.

*Majority of women treat men as a job, when the job is no longer paying enough or worth her time investment, she moves to a better job or for a higher pay.

*listen son! There is no such thing as permeant best friends or worse enemies. The only thing permanent is "interest".

This applies both in interpersonal relationship, social relationship, politics, business and geo-politics.

*If you don't use someone, someone will use you.

*There are forces/laws that should never be underestimated or neglected:

1-The forces of market demand and supply.
2-The pull of gravity.
3-The second law of thermodynamics and Entropy.
4-The libido for sex.


*Morality is subjected to emotions and change.

*People have a tendency to act in ways they have already acted, so never ignore a red flag behavior in anyone, the first time they acted in a certain way.

*Marriage is social construct and unnatural.

*Evolution does not support Intelligence.

*God and Religion as a whole, is an ever receding pocket of ignorance, and it will keeps receding as you gain more knowledge, self awareness and education.

*It's an incestuous relationship between the bank, government and big corporation.

*Citizens are the product government sell for the price of worthless election promises.

*Reality is savage and violent due to social imbalance.

*Death might just be the greatest of all human blessings.

*This is very important — If you cut down on execessive sugar consumption, the odds for you living a healthy life into your old age is very possible.

It's easy. When you ask them certain sensitive questions, they get:

*Evasive
*Deflective by saying something totally unrelated.
*When they tell you that they feel uncomfortable with your question. (Dig deeper because the individual is hiding something)

Physically however, they get irritated or sometimes flinch for their dear life when you get them in position to do that task. Others get nervous but tries their best to hide especially when it you superior than them.

Before the arrest, I'm sure he would have told people in the party that: "....dedication to hardwork and God grace brought him thus far."

The greatest embarrassment as a car owner is to be broke enough to let you car run out of fuel in Lagos traffic, and trying you best to get passerby to help you push it to the side of the road, then faking a frowning and disappointed face just to lie that it's a mechanical fault.


Silly you

Just like here on Nairaland — the only thing about it is: people will be quick to deactivate their account when they feel harassed or haunted online and go on to sign up a new account thereby increasing membership.


Almost less than half of Nairaland members are alternate accounts or multiple accounts users.

Prior to this new policy — In the long run, Twitter (X) value will increase due to increasing membership which will attract more ads placement on the platform leading to more profit.

Elon is a smart business man.

He fired 80% of Twitter staffs when he took over and now utilizing the remaining 20% to achieve the X goal. He also figured those 80% staffs he fired were hired to police Twitter and enforce censorship which was irrelevant if your trying to promote free speech.

Good Job Elon.

For men:

Never make one woman your source of pleasure and even if you do. Never let her know about it and even if she knows about it, do well to give a nonchalant reaction to all her threats about breaking up with you.

Meaning, Never potray a scarcity mindset around your woman.

Failure to adhere to this. She would ruin you.

---------------------------------------

For women:

The greatest hack to make a man commit to you or get him to do things for you is total submission. Submit to him good enough and suddenly ghost him or block him, if he doesn't appreciate you enough and watch what happens next.

Send your kids and you stay back.

Support them from here; Invest in them and let them know they are your retirement plan for the future.

Back home here — Engage in businesses building Materials, cement etc. I didn't say business but businesses.

Prison break series

"It's better to be a king in the village than being a peasant in the city." This was the quote Don Jazzy told Dbanj who insisted on kissing Kanye west A$$ for international record deal instead of growing Afro beat back home. This disagreement ended Mo-hits records. Today Don Jazzy is more successful.

If you earn in dollars and also earn good on your regular bank job. You doing far better than 60% of Nigerians. And you get to enjoy the slippage difference of dollar over naira exchange — as at today naira to a dollar is 820 in the black market.

Just invest wisely here and you would be good. Even if you do bad in investment, your constant dollar earning would afford you the opportunity to try out other opportunities.

On the flip side, when you eventually japa and begin to earn say 3000 dollars monthly, there are taxes to be paid and other expenses and in the process, you will be slow to build wealth, it will take you years compared to when you in Nigeria enjoying the Naira dollar slippage difference.

If you single, finding a wife there would be difficult except you japa-ing with your wife.

Oga stay back and secure your future here, save in dollars, invest with naira and stay ahead of the market here.

The reason why infidelity is on the rise is because of how the dating market is structured.

Women want more resources for less sex and men wants more sex for less or no resources. It's hard to reach an equilibrium hence, the market will remain a stalemate making a man adopts scarcity mentality.

What that leads to is infidelity and promiscuity whereby, a man gets into any pusßy available because it's difficult to always come by one for less resources, so when he is easily presented with one. He go knack.

This is a WRONG decision.

Increasing more supply of currency into the economy further weakens the currency and continues to raise inflation.

It means too many money in circulation chasing fewer goods. The money will be worthless as the price of commodities will continue to sky rocket. (Let's hope we don't end up like Zimbabwe, where bread was sold for one billion).


To cushion inflation:
1-Raise interest rates.
2-Re-peg the naira to dollar.
3- Raise tariffs on imported goods that is produced locally.
4-Impose heavy Tax on big corporation and utilize the funds to support SMEs.
5-Use the susbsidy funds to assist Dangote kick start his refinery, let's begin refining locally ASAP, then after that focus on using future subsidy fund to fix the Nation's refinery.

Nigeria is headed for a financial armageddon if CBN continues this sort of backward policy.

Spending my life savings of almost 35million to build 10self contain apartment for rent, now my money has finished and I haven't completed the house. Am even struggling to eat now meanwhile I have 35million worth of uncompleted building , not rentable.

Sir, learn to set low aim and ambition, achieve it before you set higher ambition. You would take lessons from previous journey, then grow from there.

You will bounce back sir

UyaiIncomparabl:


Club Cubana is the answer. I worked there. If you have ever been there or clubbed there, then you'd understand how making thousands could be easy peasy in one night. I could make as much as 500k on a weekend. Then, I was like LAPO to family and friends. If you met me then to borrow you 1M, it would be readily available.

I was a teenage girl, naive and impressionable. I felt everyone had a good heart — like me. I would always help anyone who came to me having money problems. Anyone. I'd make sure you live la Vida loca as far as you came to me for help and I know you.

I had an admission to study in Finland, and then I got duped of over 5Ms by an agent. Sadly, this person was introduced to me by family. Till now, I don't know her whereabouts. I doled out uncountable monies doing giveaways without plans because I felt it would always be there. Even my parents were no good.

Do you know what it feels like to have over 9M in one minute and be stark broke in another? Sometimes, I sit and stare forlornly and just think I have nothing else to live for. When I tell people I'm depressed, they laugh at me and call me bipolar or make jest of me about being depressed. You don't understand it, mate. Like another Nairalander said, maybe I'm just still very weak and playing cowardice to snuff life out of me. Or maybe, I'm still very undecided. Time will tell.

Mind you, I have things going on for me but I can't forking move on. I hate everyone who I ever was there for. I hate them. I regret every forking thing I ever did for them. 😭. Maybe, I just had too many expectations. Just maybe. But, why should I not? I forking cared for them. Why shouldn't I?

I'm sorry about the epistle.

Damn girl.

I feel your pain. You should have atleast read the "48 laws of power" and see through human deception before being manipulated for your will.

I want to reach out to you to discuss more. Would you be comfortable if i take your number here?

In Drake's voice.

God's plan.

When you are comfortable in life and have eaten atleast a slice from the pizza of success. You would stop taking life and your ambition seriously provided your future has been secured financially.

That was what happened to Simi.

In stoicism, we know it as: Excessive comfort brings about mental degradation.

Fryx:
Genuinely throw yourself into confusion and make her confused that your own confusion is more than hers.

She will get worried that you don’t know what you want and make the efforts to be logical.

Once she is in that stage, strike up a meaningful conversation, and you will know her for real.

It’s always work for me. Try it.

If this works for you — fine. However the best way to get Intel or elicit Information from a person (either male or female) is the Socratic method.


Socrates was known to have perfected this method and it's been used today in interviews, police investigation, psychologist etc.

According to Socrates: First, let them know you know nothing. Then tell them to tell you about what they know.

After they let out their knowledge, quiz them on every detail they consider fact or truth about their knowledge.

Do this rhetorically on every "detail" till they reach emotional outburst or admit their ignorance but remember your aim is to learn from them. What you actually learning from them is the extent of their ignorance in relation to your own. When you do this with various people, you will eventually stumble on the Truth along the way.

This genius way of thinking was the reason Socrates was regarded as the wisest and most educated man who ever lived as his idea brought about modern day education. It was called academy then though. Even the oracle of Delpha proclaimed Socrates to be wise, he still doubted the Oracle.

In summary, the message she is trying to get across is: Men are polygamous by nature, however if you as man decides to be willingly monogamous with one woman, you either lacking resources to cheat or your wife/girlfriend must have edited your masculine gene in the underworld.


For some reason, she is 60% right.

babaYIBO:
I’ve been dating this girl since early last year when I was still serving and she’s really into me. She doesn’t bill me unless I purposely send her something. And we occasionally hangout a lot too.

By mid last year, I brought her home to meet my mum and some of my siblings. My mum likes her so much and she would spend time with me in our house.

I finished my service around September last year, and I started hunting for job. I was taking online classes etc..

So I got a job earlier this year, and the pay isn’t bad. Only my mum knows how much I’m earning and few friends. My girl doesn’t know.

Now, I’m likely to be getting a pay rise this month.

I’m also planning to get married to this girl next year, hopefully, she’s been a good girl even when I was jobless.

I don’t know if it’s okay to let her know my salary range. Although I’d not be telling her specifically the amount.

Is this a good idea?

Never make that mistake man.

There are things you don't tell a woman. Ask yourself; How does her knowing your net worth or gross worth improve your relationship with her?

Sadly it don't, instead it will only stir up her greed and entitlement.

Things you keep secret from your woman

*Your finances ( how much you make)
*Your dark past
*Your insecurities
*The extent to which you love her.


Trust me, when you reveal the above; you would pay darely for it, because those are the information they need to manipulate you.

lovediehatelive:
I met this pretty homely girl sometimes ago.

She was reluctant the first time I toasted her and won't want to date me. However, I persisted till she succumbed.

She's everything I want in a lady. She didn't want to visit me when we started dating until one day I promised that I won't touch her.

She visited and was so graceful that I thanked the heavens for sending my soul mate to me.

We discussed a bit and I made her feel comfortable because she was really uneasy.

As promised, I didn't touch her. She felt so free that she rested her head on my chest.

The urge to kiss her became so strong, but I resisted.

What's the use of spoiling things now when she can be mine forever?

She later left and we became really close from then.

I was happy because she's madly beautiful yet so down to earth.

I was thinking she is a virgin but I needed to clarify.

So one day, I used talk to bring talk and stylishly told her a bit about some rough life of my past for her to feel uncomfortable.

She later opened up to me about her first kiss and how the guy went on to have sex with her even though he promised her nothing will happen.

She was 19 years then.

Since then she stopped visiting guys and is no longer in contact with the guy.

She swore that she hasn't kissed or had sex since then.

Now she's 23.

The thing is I really deeply love this girl because she's just exactly what I needed. But I promise myself that I will marry a virgin and nothing else.

My love for this girl is beginning to affect my thinking.

Should I ditch her and keep looking for a virgin?

Or should I continue with her?

I'm planning to see her people this December.

My guy:

Sex first before relationship.

If you commit to her without sex, she has that leverage over you and risk hoarding sex till after marriage or worst still, manipulate you with it.


Your first show of weakness is letting her know you deeply in love with her. And now you want to adhere to NO SEX. Dude wake up.

Listen Son. After sex and the post-nut clarity, you would make better decision to be with her or not.

Billionaire game.

Money is just an instrument and measurement of power at this point for them. Not a survival means.
