Times were hard. I am not here to excuse Buhari's mismanagement, but having lived back then, times were hard. Very much so.

To have an idea of how bad times were, read Adiche's novel Americanah, especially the early chapters. You would get an idea of how bad times were then

Most people who were adults back then had side hustle to survive, most people joked about their take home salary not being able to take them home, most people could not afford phone (and when they could, it was for recieveing calls, not making calls.. and don't try making internaitonal calls...wahala go dey yer akant.), we were borrowing money even then, our hospitals were in a bad state, and I mean bad state (in 1993, one family friend lost their child in hosptial in part because the hospital did not have the equipment needed, plus fake drugs), and most people were struggling.

All the complaining we are doing now, was done back in 1989. All the crying we are doing now, was done back in 1989. The economy was bad then

Don't be deceived by that bag of cement story. 40 bags of cement was N1540. A normal salary of say a lecturer was around N2000-3000 . So if a lecturer tried to buy cement at that cost, he would have spent half his salary or her salary.

Times were hard back then. SAP was sapping us.

Modified

1. N5K in 1989 was a lot of money that most families did not see. Infact, most families won't have spent up to N1K back then

2.Someone stole our family's gas cylinder around that year...my papa dey grumble about 'unexepcted expense ' that day.

3.Yes, Gas WAS expensive then.

4. 419 started in the year 1989, maybe earlier. The first news article on 419 that i read , I saw it in 1989.

5.People were struggling to pay rent back then! (The first tenant right's group in this country was founded in 1991)

6.In 1980, my pater earned N250 and could take care of his family. By 1990, he was earning N3000, my mater was earning less than N1000, and they needed to do side hustle to survive then.

Times were hard back in the late 1980's.

Most people could not afford a bag of cement at N38 then.

DEMZEE:
It's biology. Men are designed to be promiscuous. Sperm is cheap and eggs are expensive.

Accept and understand this and know peace

This is just the unflattering truth about men's sexuality

Emocruize:
ok
when a bag was #38 then, were the masses complaining?

There is this girl I met in Lagos she help me find a house in Lagos from there we started dating.

I Asked her to marry me and get pregnant for me. Later she got pregnant for me.
She started disturbing me about marriage rights.

On the wedding day I discovered that she has 3 children for one man.
I have asked her several times even before she got pregnant she keep saying no

A day before the wedding, one of my uncle called me and tell me that one babalawo said that the woman I want to marry has 3 kids already.

She admitted and start begging me to forgive her, she said she has been looking for the best time to tell me. All this are happening on our wedding day, she beg me not to tell anyone that it can be secrets between me and her àlone, I insisted that I must tell my people from my state enugu to Lagos

My people discouraged me and said I should thank God for revealing this early.
That's how I cancelled the church wedding.

FreeSpirited:
The moral lesson from their love story is that
.
1. Love can be found anywhere, what matters is the heart and genuiness of intention they both have for each other.
.
2. Sex can be had anywhere without affecting ur future life. it's human nature to have sex...let's stop demonizing people for having sex

3. Sex on a firstdate doesn't matter if both have genuine intention toward each other and also faithful to each other.

Preciousgirl:
John 8:58-59
[58] Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”

[59] Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

HE SIMPLY SAID BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS, I AM BUT WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO KILL HIM ? LETS HAVE YOUR THOUGHTS

Please read my previous comments on this thread. I'm tired of repeating myself

bepositive11:
Please get lost! You're telling me that you don't have low self esteem, yet you're telling me that you're worried about her comparing you to her exes. Guess what? That is a sign of low self esteem and Insecurity! Nonsense!

SenecaTheYonger:
Now you include non-virgin.

I don’t know why you guys get triggered when you hear a woman is a virgin.

Always the same “virgins don’t guarantee successful marriage” NPC programmed bot response. Yeah, no shiiitt.

How do I report a winners chapel pastor?

Do I confront her about again or just tell her people?


My family members don't know about it yet cos if I mention it to them, her respect is gone forever.

Chiffy:
Lol...cheap blackmail.
That you cannot add 1+1 is not an insult. I too do not know the square root of 7262483. But i can learn.
So you too can learn how to add 1+1.

Chiffy:
Ordinary 1+1, you cannot add; and you're asking me to enlighten you. Abeg go and enlighten yourself

Chiffy:
Colonization mentality. Adeboye is beginning to sense that he might be loose key members. So he has to preach propaganda to install fear into their hearts to make his key pastors think that they cannot succeed on thier own.
Church na just business/economics

GboyegaD:
What are you doing in Naija yourself?

JackDaAlienz:
Of all things that our European colonial masters taught us
Physics and Technology? NO
Invention and Development? NO
Religion ? YESSSSSSSSSSS

Out of all things it's only Christianity that we got from our European Missionary.
Why didn't they teach us TECHNOLOGY
So we can be advanced like them.
Instead they teach us RELIGION
Everytime
JESUS CHRIST JESUS CHRIST JESUS CHRIST. They brainwash us to the point Africans come carry Religion for head pass the Europeans wey bring am come Africa.
White people are constantly opening research and developing technology to better life.
While black man is busy talking about opening churches here and there.

I have to give to White people. Them use religion to block our senses from advancing like them. Nice one. [/b]
