Please I just really need someone to talk to about this and I will like your candid advise..

So since my older sister got married I always come to her house and spend few weeks or months and go back. Al·through my university days, whenever school is not in session I always come down here to spend time with her and her husband.

Truth be told the husband is a very nice man and has helped me always financially, anytime I come here once my sister welcomes me the first day like this, from the second day she leaves all her house chores for me, I mean everything and she just relaxes. At times I get really tired and don't even feel like doing those chores but because most times when I come visiting she is heavy ( pregnant) so most times I just help her...

Thing is my sister doesn't appreciate all my effort, most times she complains self its the hubby that tells her that I am hardworking and at least she should give me credit for all I do.

Now the reason why am writing this is because am done with service (NYSC) and as it is its like I have to stay in her house because the state where she stays has more job opportunities compared to where our parents live... She stays in Abuja...I have been down with malaria for few days now and I have been on treatment, just because I can't do certain house chores because am not too strong my sis started complaining saying I can't be living in her house and be waking up whenever i like... Mind you I was always the first that wakes up when I wasn't sick, in fact I will wash the dishes, sweep, mop daily, cook food, bath her children and all those things.

The only thing she does is to bath her youngest baby, but now because for these few days she has been doing those work I do daily she is already saying she can't tolerate me sleeping and not waking up on time.

My question is this, does she have the right to be so angry at me because she is doing her house chores? I feel its her house and so she doing her house chores herself shouldn't be a problem since am not too strong to help her do it. She herself just sweep and doesn't mop, but she expects me to sweep and mop everyday.

Should i just go back to my parents house and get a job there? Me renting my own house is not an option because am a lady and am just 22...

Please i need you guys advice, what can I do?

From my experience you are economical with the truth. The truth is that most youths within your age bracket are always busy with their phone. There is no way your sister will not appreciate you if you are doing all those things you mentioned. Moreover you are doing those things as if she is punishing you that is why you see it as a big task. If you do them with happiness you will discover that they are nothing. She is giving you a serious training, preparing your how to handle your own domestic chores when you eventually marry. Work does not kill rather it makes one stronger. It is only the lazy ones who complains of everything including dish washing. Are you washing for the whole of Abuja. Look for work any way but don't use as an excuse not to help in the house chore. See it as what you are doing for yourself and it will less burden to you. I wish you good luck.

I'm so angry right now. As you can see, I'm creating this post in the middle of the night.

There are many negative things people say about MTN. Sincerely, I've always given them an open mind but tonight I discovered something very terrible about them

Summary:
When you subscribe for night data, MTN doesn't only deduct from your night data balance, they also deduct from your main balance.

Explanation
For long I've been using the MTN pulse plan. I buy 1.5gig weekly. But because I usually need to download tutorials from YouTube I support my data with their 500mb midnight plan.

I've always noticed that my 1.5gig doesn't last long. Within five days (sometimes three days) my data would have finished.

I spend a lot of time online but there's no way my daily usage can reach 400mb. Most of my time online is on WhatsApp, searching google for information and staying up to data with industry gists on Twitter.

This night I subscribed to the MTN night plan, then used their app to check my balance before browsing. If you use the mtn night data regularly then you know there's no way to check your balance with USSD.

Luckily for me, the MTN app shows the night balance. So I was able to monitor both my main data balance and the midnight balance.

Guess what I found?
MTN was deducting from both accounts simultaneously.
No wonder, this is the snake that has been stealing eggs from my poultry.
I was so angry that I wanted to remove the SIM but I decided to collect evidence before removing their SIM.

Below are two screenshots. I took the first before downloading a video from YouTube. The video is 48mb.

Then I took the second screenshot after the download had completed.

As you can see, MTN didn't even touch my night data again. They deducted virtually everything from my main balance.

This is so painful. I feel cheated.

Bros no vex o, how you do the calculation and arrived at the answer. Me I confuse honestly.

The govt is insensitive to the plight of the poor masses. People are struggling to feed because of this Covid-19 pandemic and govt is planning to increase electricity tariff. They ought to suspend electricity bill as part of palliative to the poor masses, other countries are doing so. They increased VAT, now they are increasing electricity tariff. They can't even recover millions of dollars electricity bill owed them by Niger, Chad, Mali etc. Not that we even see the light sef. This is not the right time for such increase abeg. #suspendelectricitytarifffornow#.

If you are still young go for the new job if not stay where you are. Remember no venture no success.

Good one. He is true missionary like the Catholics and CMS who built schools and hospitals for public use. He is giving back to the society what the society gave him. More of his type and this country will be better that as it is now .

Some people don hammer

But you can still make and receive calls and browse the net with them. Firewood wey dey for a place na im the people wey dey there dey use cook their food and e dey done the food. Na Infinix I use type this sef and it appeared as I typed it. Wetin be my own sef.

Hypocrites everywhere, you don't want to drink and you don't want others to drink. The funniest thing is that those preaching against drinking wine have them stocked in their closet, then I ask for who?. Unless one has health complication that forbids wine, wine is good both for the body and the soul. anybody that doesn't drink wine does not know what he is missing. It gives joy and inspiration.

Why is the Bobrisky so rich? How is heshe making the money heshe is spending so lavishly. I just dey wonder that for my mind. E be like say cross dressing dey pay wella or may be there is another thing wey dey inside wey we no know. Our cultures don dey go small small and if nothing is done, one day some body fit go tell one oba make him commot for him seat in the name of freedom of expression. Make we think am o.

thesicilian:
No one owes anybody any explanation of their sexuality. Otherwise the police would have the authority to stop anyone on the road and demand you to prove that you are not homosexual. Yes we know that Nigeria has anti gay laws and I fully support it, but cross-dressing is not the same as being gay, legally speaking. The police has no right, no authority to arrest or publicly embarrass any citizen simply on the suspicion of being gay.

Very expensive compared to what is obtainable in some part of Igbo land especially from Anambra and Enugu state angles. All put together is close to about 500k as against 177k quoted. With that I doubt if non oil workers can afford to marry there as they postulated. Anyways it is agood development having put it in black and white because some people when they see an outsider coming to marry their girls will jack up the price to almost times three. Kudos to Ekpeye people but their neighbours, the Ogba people are far cheaper that with even 100k it is a done deal. Don't quote me o.

youngsahito:
Those greedy ibos should learn from this.

Upon say MTN call cost pass any other provider, them still dey top others for subscriber base. Airtel don improve well well sha, them dey where you no expect them and other networks no reach there.

Everything na news abi? Kontinu

What kind of smoke because some get filter and some no get filter. If you like smoke and spray the best perfume it will still be noticed by someone who has once smoked. Settle your wahala with your wife and stop smoking or being in midst of smokers. I guess that you gave her the impression that you don't smoke before you married her only to be smoking in secrecy.

Lovelyn451:
Na him sabi.. me I don't joke with expiry date, even if na gala I must check expiry date

You never see one wey carry manufacture date wey still dey like two months ahead.

For Naija here some of the canned foods don expire more than six months before they land for here. They just clean out the date and put another date. No be new thing here. We don dey consume expired foods knowingly and unknowingly for long and nothing dey happen.

That was a set up. The governor just wanted to humiliate and make caricature of the man.

Nice and innovative but very expensive. Where can a vulcaniser get N323,000. 00 to pay when it gets lost.

from what I can deduce from your several spam write ups the car was working fine before it stopped working. You also said the car revs but doesn't come on, I am guessing you meant car cranks (makes the starting sound) but it never starts, my guess isn't the brainbox but more of fuel pump.

now what you will do is open your own fresh thread, then explain what was done on the car a week before this wahala started then if possible let me know the type of engine the car is carrying or snap the engine let's try to diagnose it together and show your mechanic/rewire what to do

Don't blame me, I am an old school struggling to meet up with modern techniques. I will do as you said but how can I open a fresh thread. Thank you seriously for your response.

GAZZUZZI thank you for the education you are giving us concerning issues with cars. Keep it up. I have this problem with my Hijet truck(small truck) not starting. There is no scanning port in the vehicle for diagnosis. The mechanics said the problem is the CPU commonly known as brainbox in Nigerian parlance. After several attempts to start the vehicle with other brainbox of the similar type there is no success. The mechanics said that unless a brainbox with exactly the same number is used the vehicle will not start and I have been searching for the said brainbox with the same number but to no avail. Please what do you think is the problem with the vehicle and the possible solution. When you try to start it revs but cannot come on.. Thank you.

How much for Nissan pickup single cabin engine automatic gear.
