Michael is also being paid appearance fees - he is making money, so he will keep swallowing the bad behaviour till he can make money elsewhere or gets completely fed up.

Yes you are right.

Very true 👍🏿

*Sighs heavily*

I feel Michael knows what he is doing that is why he is absorbing all the insult and being talked down by angela.

If Michael get the green card I expect him to pay angela back with her own coin and show her who Michael is.

Is not easy to make it in this life.

I am enjoying the show.

VanuatuWycombe:
Thanks jare my brother. I would rather use my money to buy comfortable life than save money and be suffering. Just try and have buffer for unforeseen circumstances.

Lots of those leaving that far do drive one-way at atone to cut the time it would take them to get honey. Otherwise, they risk getting home by 2am
Some people will have money to live in Ilupeju, they will pack to Atan-Alapoti side because they want to be landlord and be attending CDA meeting. Meanwhile, they work at Apapa.

Well said.

I strongly agree with you.

VanuatuWycombe:
Leave him. That’s how far he could think.

There are alot of looney people on this platform.

Sometimes when I read comments, am like is this person sane at all. Talking down on someone as if he/she is the alpha and omega.

S. M. H

VanuatuWycombe:
Thanks a lot. That’s what they don’t understand. Most of them are born to worship money. They don’t know how to make money worship them.

Some of them are on high BP medications because of untold stress and hardship they have caused themselves because they want to save money and be their own landlord.

Some have low sperm count and couldn’t father a child due to the stress they face everyday. The children they call their own are from another father but their wives managed to pin it on them.
They are happy on Friday evening and sad on every Sunday evening.

A very elderly friend on mine who has a house in Mowe and working at Agbara has to rent a room sef con in Agbara when the stress of commuting everyday wan ki!! am.
He would only go home on Friday evening and return to Agbara every Monday morning.

Perfectly so on point.

I know of a colleague of mine that has alot of medications in the bag he carrys to work.
And i am sure that he is taking all those medications because of the stress he is exposed to because his work is very stressful to be sincere.

I do pity him to be honest and he lives in ikorodu and comes to V.I every day and works as a protocol and travelling officer for top echelons in the bank

caracas:
Lol, keep deceiving yourself.
For your info I was born in the heart of Lagos surulere n there is nothing you will tell me about Lagos main city or whatever you want to call it.
My family house is at jakande gate, ikotun road and the place is every bit part of Lagos city as any other place. My friends still live in lere n I can tell you the days of lere or those areas you mentioned are gone.
Where I live we have good roads , well ventilated houses with trees , enough parking spaces, wide streets, street lights, 22 hrs per day electricity, good water, and the best restaurants , clubs , bars n highly civilized, educated n wealthy ppl .The only negative is the traffic n that can even be maneuvered if you know how to.
Proximity to your place of work isn’t the only factor a house seeker should look out for, most of my colleagues that stay in lere n environs are beginning to relocate cos they’ve come to realize the crazy fees they pay as rent isn’t worth it. You see someone living in a self contain apartment, that can even be termed “a face me I face you “, paying 800k to 1m.
If that is not wastage I wonder what it is.
Truth of the matter is , no place in Lagos is too far as there are developments going on in every area of the state n the government has been trying its best to make transportation easy for lagosians.
Using all your earnings for rent in Lagos cos of proximity is the most stupid thing anyone should do.

You have a point.

But do you know that there are times whereby there will be exceptional days that traffic will be he!! and it will be so frustrating and draining.

There was a period that I was leaving work from the island to Ebute-metta and I spent over 1 hour because of traffic.(on a normal day it should be 10-15 mins) Please imagine those that are still going to far places like mowe, sagamu, Ibafo, ikorodu, ogijo, odoguyan etc.
If you live far from your workplace it has merit and demerits. One of the demerits is that it will expose one's to additional transportation cost, health challenges, not having adequate sleep etc. Demerits outweighs the merit.

Money saved by living in a cheap apartment and far from workplace will one way or the other will be spent indirectly and unconsciously on unforseen expenses.

VanuatuWycombe:
You will see your choice. First of all you need to be informed and up-to-date. Being informed about what you want would make you pay less for the rent.
Categorize the area you are looking for into 3 and go for the middle one of that’s what your housing allowance can cover.
The employer that calculated the housing allowance that can get you a house for a place like Palmgroove, eg, doesn’t expect you to be living in Ikorodu. The employer is not cra.zy. It is we the employees that think we are smart.
Why do you think some employees are agile, up and doing, smart and being productive at work than some employees?
Good accommodation that is closer to work and with some amenities are responsible.
They get promoted than some.

If you live in Ikorodu, once’s it’s 4pm, you would be thinking of how to even, first of all, get closed to Agric and be thanking God.

If you are not lucky and go and get house around Ogijo and other far areas of Ikorodu, you are in for it.
I guarantee you that your health and finances would suffer for what you think you are saving.
You will run generator like maaad, think of how to buy fuel, repair it. How to get up early.

Where I live and still maintain the rent since 2015, I have never bought any generator in my live and it’s not that there’s 24/7 electricity there or that I pay anything exorbitantly.

If you don’t have good sleep in a day, the effect on your brain is like that of someone who took 2 bottles of alcoholic beer and is suffering from hangover. You may ask any doctor about this.

Consider not sleeping well for weeks and months and years because you get home late and wake up early to go work. Your immune system starts dropping and some vital cells start dying in your brain.

Sha be doing brain scan every year to see how vital neurons in your brain are shrinking.

Don’t listen to anybody who says you should go to Ikorodu o. They don’t like you. They are po0r and don’t value their health.
If it is only a room with a small mattress you can afford for now in a closer location to your office, it is good. Don’t dream of furnishing any room for now. Ensure you have basic hygiene things and maintain your office clothes and shoes. You don’t need tv sef in that room. You can watch and stream on your phone.
Any lady who doesn’t like your room like that should go to he!!
If you are not in a right frame of mind, you can’t perform well on any task given to you and you won’t get promoted. Don’t say na one mama or family member dey do you o.
You have to be happy and sound to give any task your best.

Hallo Dear nairalanders

I really love your breakdown analysis that support proximity to your workplace is very vital and helps you alot to be productive at work.

I have senior colleagues that are living at ikorodu, mowe etc but because of the traffic problem they had to get a small apartment on the mainland close to the island.

You have a strong point and I support it.

*Applauds*

caracas:
Very foolish advice, coming from a lazy personality…

Please why must you insult someone for saying his/her opinion?

I put it to you are rude and nasty.

dangoteinlaw:
Oh, wow, if you sent out a job proposal and they responded with an "invite," I mean, how could that possibly be anything but totally legit?

Jewessgratitud3:
A school called me for part-time services. I told the woman to let me go round the classes to know the population. Omor them many like bees and the classes were crowded. So when we got talking and bargaining, I told her madam look I don't like taking schools with so much population that if I will take it she'll have to pay times two of what others are paying. The moment I said I don't like populated schools I knew I had bleeped up because it's more like saying I don't want their growth. I didn't know how to take back my words so I just let it be. She didn't call me and me too I didn't bother. Dem too manty abeg.


Another one was when I went to a school to discuss with the proprietress and she agreed she was going to buy books from me. Later she didn't call again. She now called after the term and said I should come and take them without text books. I told her see, I don't want problems cos this one you're already going back and forth I won't want to hear stories when it's time to pay me my money. She said what do I mean by that and me I ignored her because I already knew that statement will make her not to call me.

I like you. You know your worth

badoh:
It depends. In some interviews, you might think you did not perform to expectations and they will eventually give you the job while in some instances, you'd think you performed beyond expectations and the interviewers were marvelled at your submissions but las-las, they won't call you back.

God bless you. You are damn on point

Such recently happened to me.

ogbonti:
while Nigeria was playing AFCON finals - Instead of going to Abidjan to cheer the Eagles - he was going to Las Vegas to watch the Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49'ers game ----- IF to say him go Abidjan now, probably he would be alive today

May God rest his soul and others in the Helicopter--- comfort his parents and surviving family Amen!

Most of our elites dont believe in this country but they can be exploiting the resources of this nation and be stashing it abroad.

Rest well Herbert.

justmondris:
Which next of kin. I think his wife and child were also involved in the crash

Is that his only son?

If yes, his property and wealthy will be acquired by friends and family members.

Goodnewsforlife:
just imagine

It is the hypocrisy of the igbos that make Nigeria this worse, they are ready to defend evil once it involves their kinsmen n they will call another person kinsmen evil

When I told a guy here that there’s nothing like xenophobia he didn’t believe me

This is what igbos do in South Africa, when one of them commit crime. Instead of the igbos to support d police to punish d guy for the crime, igbos will defend him to high heaven in even hide it, the most annoying part is that they will even b willing to fight d police

The citizens got tired of igbos going away with crime n that’s y they retaliate

Imagine how this one is defending crime, I can bet that if this guy have d power those criminals will never b prosecuted cos they are igbos

I was there live n direct in South Africa n I saw how it happened, please don’t ever blame d South African, they are good people pushed to d wall

You have a beautiful point

I reckon with your idea.

Tonytonex:
Ok. I didn't subscribe to it sha.
It was a bonus. I didn't want it to expire

Tonytonex:

I have stop

winnifredd:
Good afternoon everyone, please gtb and stanbic which is better in terms of pay and job security.

To me i feel is stanbic.

The culture in stanbic is wonderful and before they would sack a staff, that staff too would know that he or she might get sack. Stanbic don't so sudden sack like the way others do.

Papyllo009:
I'm yet to know that... Waiting for offer letter.

Okay

Once again congratulations

SerikiFulani:
I have drank coke in the United States,UK and some European countries and I can confirm that what they sell in Nigeria here is fake.

The worst of it all is the plastic coke...It is just water and coloring.

If you at least want to drink coke here in Nigeria,get the canned one 😜

You are right.

But bottle coke taste better than plastic and can coke to me.

I enjoy taking bottle coke any day any time.

princeade86:
there is sir. Even take can coke here and bottle one, or plastic one, then u will know there is big difference.

Brilliant talk

I do tell people that bottle coke taste better than can & plastic coke.

Papyllo009:

Please i would like to ask what job position where you offer?

INTEGRITYA1:
Disclaimer:
I'm not connected to LAPO in any way, I'm not their staff, I've never borrow or have anything doing what so ever with them. Only that I've been seeing their branches all over the places and I knew them as a registered financial institution.

@op, permit me to contribute my own view to the issue you raised. I don't think lapo is devilish as you opined, anything bank loans generally is not business friendly presently in Nigeria, be it commercial or microfinance banks. Look at the CBN policy monitary rate (MPR) at 14%, then what do you expect from other financial institutions? Though the difference is clear when you compare the lending rate of commercial banks to that of microfinance banks; yet go and check the bad loans history of commercial banks as well, can we now says commercial bank loans are devilish also for some business not to be able to repay their loans as well?
To every loan granted by either of the banks; there is an iota of risk. But microfinance loan by nature was designed mainly for existing petty trades and business, not for start up businesss, it's actually for business expansion; that's why LAPO will be expecting you a week after the loan was granted for your instalmental repayment and can't grant moratorium. Because the idea is you're already trading and making money daily or weekly before loan, so getting loan give you an opportunity to by more stocks through which you can be paying back gradually. But, financial indiscipline, loan diversion, bad characters in the side of some individuals and so on has been a major threat to loan repayment, apart from some fraudsters that do hide under the umbrella of microfinance banking to perpetrate their evil act, try to check how many microfinance banks that closed down in Nigeria due to bad loans and their inability to meet up with their financial obligations due to the lost they've suffered and put yourself in their shoes.

You are damn on point.

One chilled green bottle for you my brother. 🍾👍🏿

Sleekfingers:
In most cases, the crews do that without the knowledge of the captain(s)

Yes you are right. Some over zealous crews do that without the captain knowing.

Sleekfingers:
This has nothing to do with racism.....if I am part of the ship crew, I will throw them overboard.

I think throwing illegal ship occupant overboard is a criminal offence. Most ship captains don't engage in such act again except crazy captains. They would hand them over to the local police if they come across such.

OZIOGU1:
As a Barack boy, I will tell you for free, if your wife is a soldier forget it, she dey collect..this is inevitable in that cult....for those dreaming of marrying one, learn to accept it when it happens, no sex no promotion in the army.

Mmm-hmmm.🤔

You have a point.

Another reasons why some of them do quit after marriage and most of them don't like to marry or date their colleagues (female military o)

ConfidentialDoc:
Military is like a cult.
She can't take on senior members from her level. For that she must have a powerful back up.

Not only the military

Same thing also applys to private organisations too most especially indigenous private organisations. The senior boss act like gods

sketching:
One of the reasons most young soldiers dress weird is because they are damaged (they're not normal). They sweep too many things under to ruge until it compile into a monster... That is why, if a soldier really cares about the mind set of his family, he will rent house off barracks for his family (to avoid that influence).

You are right.

That is why some military personnel don't like dating their colleagues especially female military personnel. They prefer dating civilians.

Offpointng:
Hundred.

Anyways, the school I graduated from really suffocated cultist and they were literally powerless on Campus. they fit only do you something if you comot outside campus and Campus big to get everything you want without stepping out. well of course, if you no be Sampson wey like woman.

My school had vegetable cultist wey dey always beg lecturer and dey everly hide to if Abęfęlę dey patrol

Did you finished from unibadan?

I will dispatch sanitary pad to her as a wedding gifts from me to her

Lamao😀🤣😂😅
