Thanks for the endorsement.

I want to apologise for the inconveniences being experienced.
The waiting time is still too long and I'm trying to ensure it gets shorter.

I try to give an estimate of how long it'll take and sometimes it's off by a day or two.

If you're patient you'll definitely get the data, even if it takes up to three days at times.

Thank you for your patronage

Properties › Re: Tenants Struggle As Rents Skyrocket by abdsamad(m): 11:33am On Jun 24, 2024

englishmart:
I have 12 individual rooms in Abuja that my dad left for me to manage. Before I assumed a management position, the rent was 120k per annum. Just last week, my immediate younger sibling suggested I increase the rent by at least 50% judging by the economic realities on the ground. I thought the hardship should elicit some level of compassion and consideration. Instead of increasing it by 50%, I reduced the rent to 75k annually. I can't be a Nebuchadnezzar

May God bless you and supplement you in ways that you never dreamed of.
I want to hug you but that would be weird.

I pray we all learn from this and make the life of other people easier wherever we can, without being crippled by the fear of poverty.

Krismas:
how so wrong
there are passages in the bible, that say god sent flood to the earth to destroy the whole earth
god sent fire to destroy sodom god is going to destroy the whole earth
god sent his own people into slavery to other lands
god asked people to commit murder
god slept with another mans wife
you should stop trying to woefully defend god

Look, you make good points. Those things aren't entirely untrue. Unfortunately, the hasty conclusions are drawn generally for the sake of defending a position a person already takes, rather than a genuine investigation of the nuances of an idea.

In order words, we're tribal by nature, and we defend the things we already care about by reducing them to it good and it bad. If only issues such as god and the nature of God could be easily resolved that way.

Anyway, i doubt this is a good avenue to try to dive into any kind of constructive discussion, so best to leave well enough alone.

I'm glad you have your opinions. I hope you're honest with yourself about how thoroughly you've challenged those opinions.
And i hope to continue to challenge the opinions i have formed with the hope that it helps me to continue to evolve and understand the truth of what things are better

ruffhandu:
I don't think 200k will cut it for me. Dry fish alone for the month costs 20k. Yam is about 4k per tuber. I know some people live below 100k, but people different. If I earn 150k per month, I no go kee myself than to try and live like a pauper. But the honest truth is, if I am single and earning 200k net, I may not marry yet.

Well, maybe you're right. I think you should do the math though so you know for sure that the actual number is 200, 300, 400 or more. Makes it easier to plan and it'll reduce arguments.

Please make sure the kids are eating more fruits than ice-cream though. If you're spending 700k on healthy food for them, I'll not argue at all. But if it's chocolate and other highly processed food, I'll keep disturbing you on this page until you give them better diet.

Sapeleboy911:
Sometimes being an atheist brings peace of mind. Some are fighting for their God or gods, and housewives see their pastors as God, but their husbands as just another problem being. Homes and families are being shattered on religious grounds. Pastors live lavishly at the detriment of their so called members, the keyboardist will be having an affair with a chorister in same church. Pastor is busy eyeing people's females nipples all in so called house of God. This country is a very religious one yet we are very backward in anything good and her citizens can be very heartless.

Although I still have that little belief that there is an invisible power(God) controlling nature, I will never blame he who don't have such belief due to glaring facts on ground.

One day we need to do a townhall and dissect this God matter very well. The misconceptions are just too much

For example, we keep conflating human behaviour for God's dictation. Humans are arsholes who fight for things they like (animate and inanimate) because we're territorial. We lie, cheat, and kill... It doesn't matter in whose name we're doing it.

Seeing people who claim to be religious do those human things and concluding that religion encourages that is as incorrect as seeing a white man for the first, second, third, and fourth time, all while smoking cigarettes, then concluding that being white makes people smoke cigarettes.

Correlation isn't causation.

I don't mind people not believing in god, i just get irritated when it's based on things like... Why does god allow suffering?
Really? You live on a planet that has oceans you can easily drown in, and volcanoes that naturally erupt, and you're asking why bad things happen to you? You live among other humans who regularly stab each other because someone took their girlfriend, and you still ask why god doesn't make you not suffer.

The world is messy, grow up.
Earthquakes happen on other uninhabited planets too so if it happens to you God isn't targeting you. Other animals get ganked by their own kind, so if your fellow man steals all the money in the economy and causes you to starve, god isn't out to get you

If I said I fuel the car from another source other than the 700k, then it's a slip. She buys petrol, including for generator. I only support in this once in a while.

It's hard to give advice about these things cos there's always so much information missing or misunderstood, and the one giving advice probably needs advice themself.

I just don't think things are now so expensive that even 200k shouldn't cover the usual household needs, outside school fees and clothes.

I think it's important to know what the recurring expenses are and how much those cost, separate from additionals than pop up randomly.

I wish you all the best. I hope you are able to figure it all out

No bros, we ain't the same, They are ahead by leagues...and I do not even like the western block at all.

In the U.S U can't be a smuggler, threaten a customer agents with death & go Scot free!

Despite how corrupt thier judgicial system is, they don't use technical bullshyt to cover criminality...if pure evidence dey at that time, them go convict person a##

No FREAKING POLITICIAN or government official in the U.S.A can steal, embezzle millions of dollars as brazenly as they do in Nigeria. THEM GO JAIL PERSON SHARP SHARP

And No 'powerful' person from Washington DC would order a terrorist to be released with charges on U.S soil after being caught

You don't even have to be a smuggler or threaten someone with death. You can actually kill someone, claim you were standing your ground in states that that applies and you go home to bed.

They do use technical bullshit to get out of convictions: O.J Simpson.

Their government officials do openly steal, except they've made it legalised bribery. The senators openly do insider trading, a crime anyone else would be jailed for. The supreme court justices (Clarence Thomas) accept "legalised bribes" cos no one can police them except them. They are not in jail for any of these. Other citizens regularly go to jail for the same crimes. Heck, anyone else who incited a mob like Trump did would be counting their third year in jail already.

Yes the President can have a terrorist released on U.S soil. The presidential pardon is absolute. Trump, again, pardoned his cronies for crimes they were convicted for. Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, and others. If their charge was terrorism, he would have pardoned them, and nobody would have stopped him. Heck, he'll probably pardon the Jan 6 rioters already convicted of domestic terrorism if he gets into office again in November.

USA is Nigeria. We're just a third world country, that's the difference.

Same corrupt politicians. Same uniparty masquerading as two parties.
Same stupid uniformed people voting purely along tribal lines. Same giant of whatever status that doesn't really hold water.

Uk is much better. They just behave like they're a captured states sometimes, captured by the US that is. It's all about defense contractors and similar dark money if you ask me. Nonetheless, they're leagues ahead of either us or the USA in terms of the wellbeing of their average citizens

Family › Re: Is 700k Per Month Too Small? by abdsamad(m): 7:05pm On Jun 18, 2024

ruffhandu:
Hello people,
Please I need some advice.
We live in PH, and have 4 kids. The oldest is 10 while the youngest is 6. I give my wife 700k every month, and this includes general upkeep and maintenace and fuelling of our car (Lexus 330). I don't drive the car (I dey leg, while she uses it to run around, which includes school runs and her business).

I no dey chuk eye for her business. Bu I am getting frustrated as she still makes me believe that the money is not enough. I pay electricity bill (band A) and house rent (3m pa) yet every now and then she puts bills on my head. It is driving me crazy.

When I tell her to list out her expenses so I plan with her, she picks offence. I am really tired of the whole thing and don't know how else to approach the issue without causing too much problem. I know some men whose salaries are 250k-300k in PH, yet they are surviving.

I won't say much.

If truly you gave her a car and you're legging it, you know how things work.

Don't let someone turn you into a mad man. If she dey absent for 2 months, you no go run the house?

Wait till the month ends, go with her to buy all the items. Now you know how much. Monitor when the items are exhausted, now you know how often to replace each item.

Wait till the car is empty, go and fill the tank... Now you know how much it costs. When it's low, note how long. Now you know how long it takes to empty the tank.

Why are you filling the tank for her if she's driving the car and she has a business? I don't know. If someone wants to drive a car, they have to learn how to be responsible for it.

Nobody prays for bad things to happen, but if you fall sick and you're in the hospital for months, will you also have to worry that your wife cannot reasonably run the home.

She's a fully grown adult so she must start acting like it. Have a budget. If she doesn't contribute to making it, make it yourself.

I think i already said too much

Political party keh! You're talking as if there's a level playing field. The many mushroom political parties and upcoming ones, are nothing more than feeders to, puppets of the ruling and well established/structured political parties. They're mere pretenders not contenders. I'm apolitical like I made you aware before.

Ours is not democracy in its true sense, na demonstration of craze. In late Fela's voice.

There's no apolitical solution to this problem, except military rule. Even that is just a different type of politics.

We cannot keep complaining and expecting things to change. Getting in the mud with the corrupticians isn't the way. However, nothing will change without good people being there to make those changes.

It's a crazy idea to sit down and try to build a movement from ground up. One that recruits people from various fields, not politicians. It sounds naive but, honestly, it's doable. Mexico did not elect it's first female president via another APC or PDP. They built a grassroots movement that overturned the establishment is about a decade.

I dunno, I just think we'll just keep complaining until we one by one get tired then find opportunity to leave.

How else do we do more than make noise.

Even strike action is nothing but noise in the end.

It does not seem o.
Should someone who constantly has hundreds of millions of naira in their various accounts UNDERSTAND that something is expensive? Unless it is their third helicopter they're buying, that's when they know things are hard. Then they steal more money to buy that.

Someone whose wallet doesn't know the difference between tomato 2000 and tomato 4000. Even if tomato becomes 40000, do you expect them to know the difference. They don't even know, much less knowing and not caring (which they also suffer from).

Someone who is living in a house where he doesn't pay rent and power is 24/7 because... Well, worst case he can afford solar to power everything.
