Sorry to object your grandpa, but I think if several arrows are being shot at random, they can never keep hitting a particular spot.

You are the type they would tell a proverb and tell you the meaning

Can one trade shorts in the NSE?

Mtchhhhwwwww, why can't you stay in Nigeria and make the money you are now spending in Nigeria, why did you have to go to America and make money, it funny how people who spend their youthful life in a sane country, come here to talk thrash of the country that gave them a better edge in life, it just funny...

Selfish and greedy set of people

There are over 100k Americans currently in Nigeria. That's should tell you something

Mikelarteta:
If you have the opportunity, I sincerely believe you will be better of here in Canada . Am not exaggerating, on my off days outside regular job, I do food delivery and I bet you can make that 1 month salary you make in Nigeria in 10 hours.

Are you spemding the money in naira or Canadian dollars? How much do you save monthly? Let's stop deceiving ourselves with disparities in currency.

No sir, I am not a guru o! Still a learner, I started investing in 2006 through advice from my Dad.

My God bless our children with this kind of father

Now I see why they always target salary earners.

emmanuelewumi:
Safety,steady and guaranteed income makes the average employee to miss wealth generation opportunities.

How can a retiref employee who got severance package of N20 millon in 2000, and decided to buy a 20 years annuity that will pay him a steady monthly income of N110,000 for 20 years? He thought he was smart that will be a total payment of over N26 million over a period of 20 years.

He is smart compared to many of his colleagues that also received same amount and can't account for it today. I'm sure he would have some cases to tell you. But yes salary most times sets one's brian to receiving monthly stipends by default

Any advise on pennystocks one can look out for and invest in?

Lionessza6:
What does this have to do with the post you quoted?

If you and your brother approach your parents for money whose request gets treated first?

Lionessza6:
You probably misunderstood me, I'm not against parents teaching their children house duties that are more suitable for their gender. My issue is with pampering, where the boy cannot clean after himself, his sisters or someone else is expected to do that for him ; washing his clothes ,cleaning his room etc.Also with rules ;boys not observing the curfew but not being scolded for it ,but the girls get the beating or something like that. This makes boys seem themselves as people who are above any rules & responsibilities.

When this boy becomes a man,he will expect females to be his servants even when he is out of his home setting . They usually look for maids in wives than partners . & they will take helping out in the house or being asked where they are by their wives as emasculation .

If you and your brother approach your prents for money, whose request would be handled first? If war is about to break out, who would be enrolled in the army: a man or a woman? Why do u think if you kill women and children it is termed a war crime but not the same with men?

Perfectbeing:
Can someone open a thread on "What do you think is wrong with the American (Western style) of parenting?" too

Don't mind these house slaves

Yet the Europeans you guys are trying to emulate have high rate of divorce which has ripple effects on parenting exemplified by delinquency, single mamahood, gangs, drugs etc. Why? Because the average European thinks for himself and not the group or community which is what African values are about. Just like the Asians, we put the situate individual happiness within the context of the job or community. This is what our parenting teaches us. I am.nor wholly in support of some aspects of African parenting, but I would chose it anyway over that of the europeans. Got to Briton and see how a 13-year old would be insulting his parents and still call the cops on them. And youexpect that sort if person to be a responsible parent. Hell no!

OakPearl:
Correct bro.
This is why one shouldn't take their eyes off the market.

If I may ask, wouldn't it be better to hold in anticipation of prices rising given the news about the vaccine which may be a positive catalyst or is the plan to sell then re-enter at a lower price?

Everything you hear about China is what the communist government wants you to hear. Every single thing. I take chinese news with a heavy bag of salt and tomatoes.

The US government has failed in providing palliatives to its people. UK placed people on furlough. Under this furlough, the government pays you 80 per ent of your usual salary. there are still people going hungry and losing jobs but not as much as in the US. Trump is a humongous joke. Buhari is better and thats saying something

As you wish

samzyswagg:
Hi everyone, I really appreciate what you guys have got going here. I’m a student, supposed to graduate this year had it not been for the coronavirus. I work as a freelancer on the side and have been able to save some funds. I’m thinking of removing some of those funds from the bank and putting them to use investing. If anyone could recommend articles, books or any material I could use to broaden my knowledge and reduce the risk in investing, I would really appreciate it. I check on this thread everyday and have signed up for all three apps(trove, bamboo and Chaka) I might just go with one of the numerous stock recommendations here to test the waters one of this days. Thanks once again guys.

Read like 5 -10 pages back you would see books one can read or look for bjbjbj's posts

God is not mocked. What a man/ woman sow, that they will reap. Ask ur mum and dad what they did wrong. There must be something evil they had done that is affecting ur 42 yr brother. The bible said, train up a child in d way that he should grow and when he is old he will not depart from it. They where sparing the rod on him and now spoilt

You must really be very stupid

Theconglomerate:
Too much hyping.
Small corona,half of US don dey homeless
As seen on CNN 2 minutes ago.
Yet we are the ones that are miserable.
Pure evidence that these guys have no savings and live from hand to mouth

The US is a consumerist society that encourages debt and credit cards. The virus neva hammer them 3 months and next thing over 30 million people filed for unemployment benefits. Now juxtapose with China that is heavily vested in production and by culture are good savers. We didn't hear people complaining about hunger . This should tell us a lot

Localemperor:
Its is no longer news that I have been declared insolvent. After all effort to maintain my liquidity level to no avail I decide to let her go.

Just as organization retrenched worker during periods of economic downturn in order to cut cost of operations, I sent her a massage expressing my regret and reasons.


I feed her
I pay money for hair dressing
I buy clothes
I take her out every weekend
I buy shoes
I do everything thinkable

She works and earns but I still wonder why she would want me to do everything for her. I compiled my income statement and statement of financial position for the first quarter and found out that expenditures have exceeded income and debt is on the rise.

So I wholeheartedly declared my self insolvent yesterday and decided to cut cost in order to protect my goodwill.

After writing epistle on how Nigerian men should reset their local mentality when travelling abroad you did not have sense to apply to your own personal life. Anyway better late than never.

Exactly my case , being in oil and gas sector then ,business moving like a fast train , I was practicing the submissive women under the manipulation of the igbo culture that l let myself be swindled In the name of marriage .Any time I bring up investing of my money in property is causes a huge fight that am not submissive and not ready to be a wife.Next thing is for him to present to me a business proposal of his and I will be manipulated into helping him achieve his goal.and he vowed that his wife can’t have a property under her name even though she is working as in my case.2012 before we bought Ogudu ,First bank offered me mortgage of 20yrs for 25m with equity contribution of 30% for 4bedroom duplex at diamond estate sangotedo ajah beside novare mall then no mall was in existence around that vicinity , I drove from mainland to see the house as I got home excited and told my dear husband , he said all sorts of humiliating words to be and picked up fight . I got weak and lost the opportunity. Now the estate house now cost 60m now and empty plot 30m . It’s my past though. I have gotten over it , just a lesson to the gullible women out there .

I wouldn't be quick to term Igbo culture as manipulative because it is the same culture that empowered women in Ohafia. Anybody from that place knows that lineage and inheritance is traced from the woman and not the man. Ohafia women are the custodian of their land.

That being said, it is just a case manipulating the system to suit their own interpretation. It happens even in religion where religious leaders manipulate scriptures to suit their personal dogmas.
However it is a lesson to all.of us here. Husbands should encourage their wives to be invesent savvy. Bachelor's should look out for women who are investment inclined. Single Ladies who are investment savvy (such as the ones here) should try and test their toasters to know if they are matured to handle financial independence of their spouses. Fathers and mothers should not only train their daughters to be financially independent, but also to have serpentine wisdom to sniff out men with ulterior motive.

Sorry for your bitter experience. Sometimes I don't blame women who hide their financial status from their husbands.

emmanuelewumi:
As a woman is it proper to hand over a house you built while you were single or house which you inherited from your parents to your husband?

I have heard cases of some men who expected women to change the name on the title documents of such properties.

Is this right? Is this logical?

Any man worth his salt shouldn't expect a woman to hand over her inherited property to him. The woman should hand it over to her children. Of course she can use the proceeds from the property to support the family but not hand it over to the man.

Barrytone:
If I invest my salary and become a billionaire while still earning salary, I should be able to appreciate the process and not make upcoming youngsters feel it's worthless taking up a paid job. People still get salary of 1m and above, if they fail to be billionaire in max of 20 years then they failed. I shared formula to become a billionaire in this forum some years back. I still run that plan and it's working for me. Maybe I will be the first billionaire while earning salary. Don't believe everything you are told because I also grew up hearing this same crap.

Can you please share this formula again

Read up masturbation and dopamine. By constant masturbating you have built your tolerance level for pleasure so high that normal femal stimulation through sex or smooshing is not enough for you. Chronic masturbators have been known to masturbate to reach that pleasurable state despite being married or having girlfriends. You have to recondition your brain and mind by first stop masturbating totally. Also take food and fruits that would boost your sexual hormones. Abstain from pornography totally. Do all these for 6 months and you would be fit to get back into the game

Madagascar is an African country
There are some things you may need to understand, some unwritten rules. You can only shine when the whites want you to.

FG has already received the Madagascar herbal supplement and would begin trials in that too. Make Una dey cool down sometimes

travelland:
Africa is the least hit from this pandemic so why should we be the sacrificial lambs? This is a clear case of "Awuf de run belle". Same thing happened during Spanish flu era. When they noticed that Africa wasn't affected, they released another strain of the virus that began to kill thousands of people. It's because we have continued to collect aid from White supremists like street beggars, any time they want to use and dump us, we cannot say no. Our leaders are useless!!!

Remdesivir would also be used in the United States. Trump has even ordered the company to speed up production. Remember that Trump initially pushed for the use of Hydroxchloroquine before he switched to Remdesivir. If the US is willing to use the drug on her citizens, perhaps we can give these drugs a chance. But let's keep our fingers crossed because we can't trust this white folks

Fabulouzjoseph:
where are the conspiracy theorist. They have started testing the vaccine ooo. They will soon implant chips into people, they will soon give people the mark of the beast, prepare the world will soon end

There is a difference between drugs and vaccine. Reading is not completed until you comprehend

4ckyou:
But they allow people to pass right?

People.pass on foot. Transporters runs their way (if you know what I mean). But that place ain't no joke.

To my fellow.billionaire minds

So I decided to demo trade while still setting up my live account because I'm new to stocks. But I noticed that the value of my protfolio does not reflect the market value of stock. It is static. For example if a buy a share for $10, and the value of my portfolio is say $100, if the share price if the stick drops to $7 it does not reflect in the value of my portfolio. Is there something wrong I'm doing? Plz help a newbie

Mehn people are suffering at the Onitsha Head bridge. I learned that people sleep over till the following day because of controlled movement.

That place is no joke. Witnessed it yesterday

ojesymsym:
So far the argument has been men making a will, no discussion about women making Will's also or is there a law against that.
Men always thinking when they die, women always thinking when they enjoy. Each entity is granted his thoughts. Statistics shows that it happens exactly like that.
Whether or not you write a will, always have a positive outlook about life. Spend time with your kids. Never accept that your wife make request to you on behalf of your kids, you are not a blood sucking demon they cannot approach.
Encourage them to talk directly to you also otherwise in old age, you will become a lonely man who was never there. Fatherhood is more than just an ATM pin. If you make it all about what you provide, the kids will be distant from you and have no relationship with you as soon as they can meet their own needs.

Nobody is disputing what you are saying. But many men have also haboured the same thoughts and it didn't work out from them. Some pages back, there was mention of a woman who connived with her pastor to kill her husband who was a staff of NNPC. I'm sure the man had the same thoughts as you outlined above. Just the way nobody wishes death on himself, you also have to prepare for it. But I still ask, if the coin is flipped who would the woman state as the beneficiary?
