Op is broke whereas the situation is making it hard for him to settle down and have his own family.so what you're saying now is that he should be grateful & cherish being broke right.?

Not being grateful and bitching all day long won't improve his life either, so why add depression to his dissatisfaction?!!

There are people worse off than he is who aren't withering away in self pity. They have forged ahead! He should do the same!

Being alive is a privilege not a right! No one owes you a damn thing! Hustle, grind, and gradually build the future you desire! Simple!!!

Emmadoc:
Because, when they were hustling, you were bubbling. And now, they are bubbling and you are hustling.

Not necessarily true...

Not every wealthy person out there hustled better or harder than their less affluent counterparts.

Yusuf Buhari, Dj Cuppy, Atiku Jnr, El-Rufai Jnr, etc, didn't and do not hustle or worker harder than most equally young Nigerians.

So, let's stay within the bounds of reality.

MrBrownJay1:
when you are comparing yourself with others, as if your lives are/were the same) no wonder you are failing in life. BE GREATFUL AND CHERISH WHAT YOU HAVE IN LIFE, not what others have that you wish it was yours.

Well said! Bless you for this!!!

MrHandsome2013:
.
How old are you?

That's not even a pertinent question!

Age means nothing on the path to success! What matters should be his self esteem and dogged determination to better himself daily.

NotFarFrom:
Better get married while you're hustling. Now that you're young and strong, pay schooled fees. Nor go dey pay fees for children when you dey 70. Grow with your kids.

Learn to put your intelligence to proper work before posting on a forum.

Read what you posted above. SMH!!!

What do you Nigerians even mean by 'mate'?!!

My mates are married!
My mates already have children!
My mates are driving posh cars!
My mates are building houses!
My mates are this, my mates are that!

You won't ever hear them say: My mates are poorer, sick, dying or dead!

Life is not a competition... You should only compare yourself with yourself. Are you better today than you were yesterday? If yes, then keep it up! If No, then work on improving yourself. Time and Chance will sort out the rest.

Life is simple, don't complicate it with unnecessary things!!!

I don't know y I can't marry a fat lady unless she's a medical doctor

So, what difference will a fat medical doctor make?!!

Oblongata:
Girl wey be like bleached gorilla with wig

Sigh... What manner of wicked savagery is this na?!

A backside is a daily dose of greatness?!! Seriously?!!

What kinda 2.1 Million people follow this woman?!! Sigh...

Temigirl95:
When it comes to tarnishing images in all countries., ‘ALL COUNTRIES’ ... You ppl take the lead. Anywhere you go to , you carry your greedy fraudulent behavior there. Must u trafficking drugs?? Na curse? Na swear? Even in good developed countries, u go der too commit more crime. U ppl’s case is different. Rich or not, u must spoil ur names with criminality

Statistical facts please... I am beginning to suspect you are not quite well lettered.

This is the 21st Century... I have absolutely nothing against the man. Nothing at all. It's his choice and the law supports him.

Na the 2 women I just dey look with corner eye! They are the ones who have to explain whether men have truly become 'scarce' that they both had to suffer the indignity of being wedded and yoked to one man in a single ceremony like articles being purchased in the market.

Temigirl95:
U mean Igbo’s don’t do fraud? Lolzzz... from the 80s,90s, 20s.... who were the people called 419?? Who were the people into producing fake products, fake drugs, jilting people. The thing is Igbo’s are very greedy and they worship money. I am not trying to sound hateful but plzzzz!!! Reduce this drug trafficking abeg

Please, answer the posed questions with statistical facts... No need for ranting.

Temigirl95:
This still doesn’t justify drug trafficking we have up to 200 plus tribes inNigeria. It is not only Igbo’s that has seen suffering. U ppl should go n sit down

How many of the tribes in Nigeria travel or relocate abroad?!!
How many Igbos migrate yearly compared to other tribes?!!
Of the number of Igbos migrating annually, what fraction is into criminality?!!
Of the milieu of crimes in Nigeria (A highly criminalized entity) what ethnic group predominates?!!
Are the Igbos the reason this nation has been perennially designated a terrorist and cybercrime nation internationally?!!

Answer the above pertinent questions with statistical facts, then we can proceed with an intellectual discourse since you wish to remain in your petty bigotry. Thank you.

Anything that puts U.S in the negative is always welcome to China and Russia!

Such great and selfless Nigerians are rare!

If only Jonathan had stuck to the blueprint.

Nigeria has always been unfortunate. What a shame!!!

BafanaBafana:
Trump the ipob Messiah that year. He has found his voice.
On this very matter, Trump's plan has always been to pull US troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq.
It was also same Trump who pulled out US troops from the Syria Turkish border, leaving the Kurds who have been US allies at the mercy of the Turkish. Outright betrayal.
In my opinion, the Arabs should be left alone! Let them chart their own course. Every conflict in the middle east is either directly or indirectly related to the west.
Arabs should be left the f**k alone

I concur completely... America should never have invaded the Middle East.

EmptyGarden:
Imagine say na Trump be President now? This matter for be bread and butter for CNN.

Those hypocritical bastards have been doing a 'fine' job of glossing and painting over the clear flaws of Mr. Biden whom they marketed into the Whitehouse...

Temigirl95:
Dis is not hatred. Tell ur ppl to reduce the way they disgrace us internationally. Every fucking day!!! We must read at least 2 news of how they were caught trafficking. Wetin happen na

They are not my people (except as Nigerians, we are not of the same tribe)...

They do what they do for themselves not for Nigeria... Those doing legit stuff, do it for themselves too, and not for Nigeria. So, let's keep things practical and intelligent.

It's just a sad coincidence and misfortune that a lot of Nigerians carry their immoral nature abroad.

In case you are at a loss, my argument is simple:
If you want Nigerians to be better citizens abroad and stop disgracing your country (whatever that truly means), then we must make them better citizens within Nigeria first! A monkey in Abuja cannot automatically become a wall street gentleman on stepping into New York.

A criminal in Nigeria will be a criminal abroad, while a saint in Nigeria will be far more saintly in a better developed nation. Patriotism has nothing to do with morality!!! Good morning.

saintade01:
What is the one saying.?
You people have no shame at all.
Did you see any other tribe competing with you in your illicit and dubious ways of making money? The same Nigeria you are complaining about (with all he listed above) is same you're tarnishing the image in every continents of the world making it hard for a well meaning Nigerians to travel out with being harassed.

Jealousy my foot

Well, I doubt these people think about Nigeria at all... I honestly doubt they think of even their hometowns or villages.

They think only of themselves! Same as good Nigerians staying legit... Patriotism is the last thing on most of our minds. Patriotic to whom or what exactly?!! To a nation that seems hell-bent on decline in nearly all sectors?!!

Let's say the truth!... We all do good or bad based on our individual moral background and orientation. Nationality or patriotism has nothing to do with it.

In summary, a criminal within Nigeria will still be criminal minded abroad, same way an honest man in this failing economy will be even more honest in a better economy abroad. Patriotism doesn't and would never turn a morally bankrupt person to a saint.

Obatala7Kronos:
I shall deactivate my Nairaland account on any day an Igbo man is not arrested & paraded, locally or internationally, for drug-trafficking.

Foolish, dubious, despicable, loud-mouthed, cannibalistic, incestuous & criminally-minded lots!

You really need to purge your soul of hatred and bitterness... This is not the way to live. Damn!!!

Mokason288:
Paracetamol is 500grams

Two 1000grams

There is a clear difference between milligrams and grams... Properly research what you stated above sir.

Even with the ever present threat and reality of the death sentence, these fools still continue to indulge in this dangerous and perilous 'business'!

To what end exactly?!!! To obtain empty praises from your peers back in Nigeria?!! For useless recognition?!! To oppress your fellow men?!!

These Negroes are just stupid!

houseontherock:
Even Muslims are scared of living in an islamic emirate

The irony of a peaceful religion!

descarado:
Afghanistan taliban is not the only Islamic country living mediaeval kind of life.
So many countries up there we don't hear of. But the truth is, allow them to gradually evolve at their own pace peacefully. Activists will rise, their people will travel and see different ideologies, etc but USA as usual or the West that live by crushing smaller countries did what they know how to do best.
They introduced various uprisings and war in Middle East and yet come around to play God


Sometimes it's good to call a spade a spade.
War gives them more money, fastest way to control countries' resources and makes their ammunition manufacturers smile to the bank.

Vietnam comes mind, Syria too
They breed terrorists. See what's happening in Nigeria, look deeper and you will be shocked.

This is the comment I like to read...

I love it when young people actually make use of their brains. Not the so called exposed ones buying into the bullshit being sold by that liar Biden.

A huge win for terrorism across the universe...

Smaller terror groups in other nations will now be motivated, and even receive reinforcement from these people in due season.

Such a shame... To allow extremists take control of governance.

fergie001:
Our focus is a double....Since we have won the PL, we are focusing on one of the Cups or UCL...

Who has won the PL?!! Man United?!! Lol...

Snap out of that delusion!

United is finishing 3rd this season!!!

Hopefully you guys win F.A or Carling as consolation.

fergie001:
Leeds na Sample.....ask angelfrost

Old things have passed away... Our focus remains Europa league!!! We move!

ppogba:
You know the british delight in statistics such as " he was fouled 276 times. The highest since Mary gave birth to her child".
Those are what determines who plays for the three lions.

That's why they (England) will never win a major trophy! Hype has limits!!!

Kyase1:
Spurs go blow sha 150 milla

They shouldn't settle for anything less... City must cough out that dough!

Lamasta:
Its team work not an individual work moreover Pep cannot build a team around Grealish dude is too inexperienced for that role....Debruyne will do the wajor work with Gondoghan and Mahrez...

We both know Debruyne has fitness and injury issues... Building a team around a single player will be the undoing of any top club this season.

Only a fully rounded team can win this title... What I saw in City today and the community shield is quite worrisome.

Buy Kane and another creative midfielder fast!!! Kane is definitely top priority!

Kyase1:
Kane is definitely going to city
The question is for how much

That one sure me die...

ppogba:
The most Grealish can give you is a free kick in a dangerous position. The duty of getting penalty is on Sterling.

Division of labor.

Worst part is, nigga is not even good at his primary job (Diving)... Sterling still bosses that area.

If all he is gonna do is trip and fall around, then why all that dough?!! What was Man City thinking sef...
