Please what kind of street hustle?

okomi562:
My friend recently got a job in one of the top banks in Nigeria.


I am happy for him. He did not tell me but I asked him for financial help but he said he is in training school. I got to know blah blah.


I am also a recent graduate with no work but I am teaching now.

I am happy for him, I congratulate him.

But yesterday, I felt sad because I thought when will mine come.

I just felt tired. I have seen far friends hitting success but it hurts when close pals get it. Like you begin to question did I get it wrong. Not that it pains me no. I begin to think of my plans too.

I am happy for him, I will not lie.

Am I jealous? Or is it normal?

I am here to learn.

So I can correct my self

Ruke1989:
You only gave gifts. The issues being avoided is not giving of gift. But situation where you have to be fully responsible for paying university school fees for like three or four younger siblings of your wife, sending them monthly upkeep and be fully responsible for their feeding until they finish university. That happens in some instance, not because your wife is from a poor home but because the parents are unsupportive or outrightly lazy to work. Those kind of parents would demand money from you through your wife and openly express their anger if you give less than their expectations. When those siblings of your our wife wants to marry, bulk of the funding will come from you. Your wife will nag and won't give you peace until you empty your savings and borrow just to please her and her family.

I had a neighbor that was in this exact situation I am describing. The wife was a firstborn. For the first 10 years now that he and the wife (a nurse) has worked, they are unable to buy a car, build house or even save up to N700,000 in total from what he told me. They will always withdraw to please the wife nagging over her siblings or mother's demand. That's when I understood how wicked, manipulative and selfish many Nigerian women really are

missimelda01:
So I get this awkward reaction when a man asks for my position in my family and I say I'm the first child. I really want to know what the issue is...is it just the bride price??

Ekpekus:
That is not the point. Did you see the school fees before you applied to the school? Were they cheaper alternative for you? Did you see the requirements by the visa office for your student visa? Did you meet such requirements?
These are questions that should have been considered before embarking in this journey. So, the advise would have been, counting the cost before movement. From the conversation so far, it is indicative that you didn't do that.

OneCandleAway:
Some men specifically go for married women

Corn247:

Boko haram uses it

ISIS uses it

Alqueda uses it

Hezbollah uses it

Islamic jihad uses it

What do these groups have in common?

Terrorism!

Islam is simply Terrorism

Realguyman1:
It is an Arabic, right? But up till date Muslims kept practicing their religion in same Arabic language that most of them don't even understand. Since Arabic is just a language and does not count, why haven't u guys translated the Koran to different languages just as the bible is, so that everyone can understand it? Why do u guys keep on praying in only Arabic, since u claim Arabic is just a language and nothing more?

sotall:


That moment the Hamas terrorists were killing people and shouting "Allahu Akbar"...

They dragged islam into their evil act.

Why is killings and destruction always associated with Islam?

Pauldollars:
Allah, the Bombing and Killing god of the Muslims and Muhammed is his messenger of death.

No goodnews ever comes from Islam.

May the true and Living God of Heaven and Earth, the Father of Jesus Christ deliver and save all Muslims from their chains and bondage to the destruction in Islam. Amen.

Good evening house.

I am in a dilemma and I need advice on what to do.

A bit of background about myself: I am a 29 years only child from a very poor background. I work for an IT firm which i joined in 2019 as a graduate trainee.

My total income is around 490k (400k from main job, 90k from a writing side gig).

My challenge:
Recently, My host have told me to look for my accommodation and I have been searching for houses. Unfortunately, the places closer to my places of work is expensive.

I work in VI and the cheapest mini flat I have seen in close vicinity is 1.2M at Ajah.

I also have have a building project I am undertaking in the village that is at roofing stage and my parents have been pressuring me to settle down as the only child.

My dilemma is this, If i go for the house at Ajah, it will eat a bulk of my savings, thereby making it impossible for me to complete the building project or even start the process of settling down.

If I go for a cheaper but farer location, I will be spending more time in traffic.

Please, how do I manage this?

Nigeria has 36 states, how many have u visited?

Am from the best state in Nigeria and that's Osun state ( IJESHA to be precised). There is no way you will call Ijesha without adding Thier Eulogising.

So my beautiful Nairalanders, permit me to hail my Ijesha people on nairaland

In pele o gbogbo eyin Ijesha,
Ijesha omo owa, omo ekun, omo bokun remi,
Ijesha tio je obi oju loro, omo du apona da,
Ijesha omo eleni ate iika, Omo eleni ewele.
Omo olobi kan wowotiriwo, omo olobikan wowotiriwo,
Eyi tofe teni awo seru eni, eyi tio fe teni awo sinu igbo,
Omo Ogedengbe, agbogun gboro, adi pon pon l’oju ogun,
Edumare bawa da ilu Ijesha si o
Aase.

I have visited every other state in South West, they are like second home to me. Oyo, Ogun ekiti, Ondo, and Lagos state.

In South South, I have visited Edo, Bayelsa Delta, Rivers and Akwa Ibom

In South East, I have visited Abia Enugu, Anambra, IMO

In Northern side, I have visited Kogi, Kwara and Abuja

But the state I love most apart from my state is Akwa Ibom.

I served in Akwa Ibom and I can tell you that Akwa Ibom is the best state in southern part of Nigeria.

So my dear Nairalanders, tell us the state you have visited in Nigeria and the one u prefer most.

God bless Nigeria

None.... Make she no go cripple or even kill other people

She can get the car and get someone to drive her around..

If she can't use any of her legs, how does she intend to use just two hands to operate the accelerator, brake, steering, gear selector, turn signals, etc?...

If one of her legs was functional, preferably the right one, she won't have much of a problem driving conventional auto-gear vehicles..

But in this instance, kindly tell your aunty it's a matter of urgent national security that she never drives a vehicle....

fineboynl:
This new yam was sold to me for 2000 naira because i was a customer. In my present it was sold to another woman with abeg for 2500.

It was my usual customer and I bought more than one.

The increase was due to inflation in the country in addition to transportation cost.

This yam was cheap because if was onitsha yam that was transported to enugu. I was told the transport cost 200k.

Hausa yam wouldn’t be cheap either the ondo yam here was very small and expensive. Benue yam is yet to arrive but that still would be more costly.

Obierika:
Don't mind these women, they're all the same.

They won't contribute a Kobo but they will want to do a big wedding so that they can impress their friends!

1Sharon:
So why didn't he show up for the wedding?

Ehinjuola:
My husband is not the same man I fell in love with.

My husband changed totally after wedding day, in fact, it started on the wedding night and its giving me a lot of concern.

It's not that he is not talking to me or we are fighting, but he is not the cheerful happy person anymore.

After months of trying to get what the problem is, he finally opened up to me and I don't know what my fault is, I think he is overreacting.

My husband works in an insurance company and he is just a junior staff, he earns 150k per month, so he is not doing that bad.

When we wanted to get married, my dad wrote the wedding list and everything he would bring, when he saw them, he fumed that they were too much and they should reduce it but my dad insisted that he won't collect it twice, I also told him if he really loves me, he would provide them, he could get help from his family too, it is called bride price and other things, and it is once.

We had little issue then but he later resolved it.

He brought everything they ask him for

During the wedding, my parents told him to buy a cow, rent a hall and decorate it then they'll take care of other things. He said he didn't have money for a big hall and he would prefer a field ground but my dad insisted that rain could disrupt things and he has many people coming.

That almost cause issues too, I had to support him with 50k to get the hall because I know who my dad is, he won't back out.

I didn't know how he did it, he took the hall and designed it, he bought cow too.

His family brought food and everything went fine and that was it.

I don't know what was keeping him moody until he spoke up.

He said I couldn't fight for him, I was there supporting my parents and watch them extorting him, did I even know he had to collect loan to pay for those things?

I got angry because he used the word 'extorting'.

He was the one that wanted to have my hand in marriage and if he cherish me, he should do all they wanted since he is not paying twice.

After I said this, he stopped talking in the house, he comes home, eat and go to bed.

I tried talking to him but he would listen but not talk, he is cold to himself and prefer his privacy.

Have I said something wrong?

I don't like whats happening. My marriage is too young to be going through all these.

I am tired, I don't know what to do.

professore:
Science has its limitations too.

Have you ever been diagnosed of the wrong genotype before? Who or what prompted you to redo? Kindly share.

This question becomes important seeing how genotype compatibility is necessary before marriage (or before even falling in love with that person at all).

Some people would have had no issue forging ahead with their marriage plans if they retook this test. But how common is this phenomenon?

To encourage people to look into this, kindly share if you have been there before.

MetaBroadband:
Good morning mature men and women in the house. Please I need your help on this topic.

My Fiancee told me about how her biological dad abandoned her and her mum after getting her mum pregnant.

Her mum later married another man who adopted her as his child.

Now she's grown and I've proposed to her, I wanted to go for her official introduction and list collection.

Would it not be nice to hear the biological father's opinion? Should I just ignore the fact that the man is still alive and proceed with the marriage arrangement?

Although she said I should not bother about that, but this is Nigeria and as an Akwa Ibomite I don't think it's proper. Although she's against me trying to find out about the man's opinion. Should I care?

What can you say about this?

Note: she only told me that the man abandoned them, but what if it was her mum that actually took her away?
