No actually, these are things you have already before agreeing to a 50k job as a family man

obinna58:
Definitely



Though you must have your own house
Your farm must be large enough to feed your family
Your car must be fueled and maintained by your company
Your wife must have a big shop too and your kids must have scholarships and sponsors

With the high cost of living in Nigeria, is it ideal for a man who earns 50k as a monthly stipend can get married?

I need mature answers with reasons.

Hi house,
I discovered something and have seen it in nearly like everywhere make I no exaggerate .

Most parents that gave birth it's normal to cater for them from child till adult now let me assume they grow up as an adult then get a job and leave the house for d parents ..

These children forget the parents all because they struggle on their own to feed again and this so called parent have worked all their lives to send this child to school untill adult now that the parents are aging too they are still working working and working ..

Those this simply means giving birth to a child doesn't guarantee rest at old age?

In as much I would like to condemn the dastardly act of men who lure unsuspecting women to secluded places and kill them for ritual purposes, I would also like to talk some sense into the women and my fellow ladies who jump at every man for money instead of getting something legit to do and live independently.

Every Woman should try to be industrious. Women, please get something doing no matter how little and pray over it. God is able to bless and increase it for you with time. I know life can be very difficult sometimes for single women ( and even some married women) but with prayers and hard work you'll pull through. Stop relying and depending on this demons, They always have one evil cooking up their sleeves as they dole out money to you. The devil never has any free gift. Only 2% of men will help you for free.. for most men, if they know they'll get nothing when they help, they will never help you. Trust me.

Don't base your entire life around men. You can succeed and be what you want to be without them. Now how much is a man going to give you that will not see you running to him or another man in the next few days again? They can only give you little change that will only take you for a few days and then you're back on the street again looking for another man to sort you out.

Get something legit and God will breathe on it.
I have been through a lot as a single trying to survive without anyone. I'm not trying to project myself as the most perfect lady, don't get me wrong. Just trying to say if I can summount those challenges and be where I am today then anyone can do it. It's a matter of hard work, dedication and time.

I've been in a situation where go no go, come no come. I asked myself, for how long?
I set out and began to look for survival jobs. Since the dream job was not forth coming. I told a lady friend of mine I need a job that I'll be earning daily and I supported it with prayers. Under a few weeks I got a job with a Justice where I go to make breakfast for him every morning because his family is based abroad. He paid me 700 the first day but after the first day he increased it to 1k. Meanwhile while waiting for the daily job, I went to join one woman in her small school and told her I teach phonics o. Let me come and be taking her school. She said she can only pay me 230 everyday I agreed . Just to put food in my stomach. I never for once thought of going to sleep with any man for money because my parents taught me I can work and earn my own money. So with the 230, I was pushing it until I got the tea girl job. The justice was so surprised to see a beautiful lady like me willing to do such a job and kept asking me to marry him that he'll sponsor me abroad that he has never seen such a responsible level headed lady like me before. The way I'll make the pap and go round to source for akara or moimoi early in the morning before he wakes up and make sure his breakfast was ready kept surprising Otunba. I'll just be smiling because I know where I was going was not too far again.

In the school I was earning 230 naira, a parent now saw the effect of phonics in her child and told me to come and be doing home lessons for her. 5k. That's how I survived that period with serious prayers and scabashing while going to big schools to summit my proposal.

In the course of serving Otunba tea and pap, he called me one day and said there's a Money FG has been owing him for years and he has fought with everything to get this entitlement to no avail but that since I joined him he has been experiencing open doors and that finally fg has released the money. Baba Dashed me 10k and said now he wants to marry me and will take care of me but I collected the money, said thank you and said no. I told God it was time to leave because the pestering became too much. He stopped calling me for early morning tea and pap. Then someone in the school I ran away from during ebola period recommended me to a parent and said I was good. The parent called me for home lesson, through her I got another parents and another and another until my hands were full. These were saint saviour students that pay 400k for school fees then imagine what I charged them. Haaa.. I was balling. If I had relied on men would I have gotten to that stage?

I continued and told God I want to start getting schools of my own. That was how people started recommending me to schools and most of the schools I have today were on recommendation that's to show you the hand of God was in it. The only one I got was by that leading of the holy spirit. Immediately I entered the school, introduced myself and dropped my proposal I was asked to come back for a chat and after that I resumed and God has been faithful because He was with me through the rough ride.

You have to let God in on the journey while you persevere and he'll raise you up in due time and don't stop seeking his face even after you've crossed some hurdles because as humans we keep aiming higher for better life and only God can make that happen. So you need him not men.

Learn from my story o. Because I'm still coming to share another testimony from this stage I am now to a higher level and better life God is taking me to. With God I'm already there and no demon, I repeat, no demon can stop God in my life.
Amen.

Portal shut as Garment Factory gets over 8,000 applications in 48 hours

•Management thanks Kwarans for keen interest, pledges excellent service delivery

Kwara State Garment Factory has shut the application portal recently opened to -- in this phase -- hire 300 production workers after it received 8,373 applications in less than 48 hours.

“We are impressed by this response, which shows that people are truly keen and excited to work with us. However, we are compelled to close the portal ahead of the earlier deadline because of the number of the applications already received,” according to a statement by the management of the Factory.

“We received no less than 8,373 applications within the first 48 hours of opening the portal. That was impressive!

“We have therefore shut the portal to allow for thorough and professional screening of the applications already submitted.”

Continued....

One Saturday, me and another neighbour just came out from our compound, only to be hearing shout from those boys that "we can't do them anything, that we don't have the right to tell them not to stand at the front of our gate, that if we do anyhow, we go see anyhow". We just neglected them and went away.
Later on, I learnt that our caretaker warned the mother to tell her daughter not to be standing at the front of the compound with those guys. So obviously, the girl went and told the guys about it that's why they were raking.

On the on Friday, 22 Dec, I came back home to hear the news that the girl have been arrested in connection to a stolen item and even though the item have been found, it was found in a bad state and the owner is insisting that they pay him for damages before he can withdraw his case. Police are saying that they can only release the girl if we pay the owner the money his requesting for,as the boys claimed the item spoilt at the girls hand, but for the boys, they will be charged for breaking into someone's residence to steal an item.

Now the mother have been begging us to help her raise money to pay the owner of the item as she doesn't have enough. But our caretaker is saying that none of us should donate a penny to her.

I just feel as though we should help her, but all the other neighbours are buying the idea of the caretaker that we should stay out of the case.

There are strong indications that the electricity distribution companies (DisCos) in the country will hike their tariffs with effect from January 1.

An official source from one of the electricity distribution companies who confirmed the development under the condition of anonymity said a virtual emergency meeting was held in that regard.

“All has been perfected for the new tariff to take effect from the first of January, 2024.


“It is now left for various electricity distribution companies to enlighten their customers on new developments,” the source said.

He said the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) had already invited distribution companies for a meeting on the development.

He expressed fear that while it is mandatory for electricity distribution companies to regularly evaluate tariffs every six months, the recent increase would meet customers’ dissatisfaction.

“In fact, we were perturbed by the short notice and how we would reach out to our customers about the increase,” he said.

Asked how much the increase would be, he said, “No idea so far, but the uncertainty has put us in a difficult situation.”


When contacted, another source from the TCN told Daily Trust on Sunday that only the NERC would have an idea of how much the increase would be.

I didn't support Peter Obi but he is the only person that *could" or "might" have done this in Nigeria.

Tinubu will even add more plane to the fleet and Atiku is as reckless as him also, bunch of useless politicians Nigeria parade.

To be candid i see no way out for Nigeria, our own generation is full of yahoo boys, smokers, oloshos and thieves, even worse than this current group of generation, and the latest generation that called themselves gen z will be so worse that they might legalise lesbianism in Nigeria.

LikeAking:
Are u aware most of these low earners are not educated, informed or exposed?

They are been exploited, you can call that a free market.. The Nigerian market will be qualified to be called a free market when enlightened and well exposed individuals set low paying fee for their services.

As long as one bush man, who is a security guard in VI is charging 40k per month, you can’t call it a free market, cos that bush man doesn’t know how to negotiate his wage/salary due to Ignorance..

As long as a private school teacher is earning 30k per month and 10k for home lesson, you can’t call that a free market, cos he or she is accepting that peanut payment due to fear,hunger, ignorance, lack of exposure, not because the peanut payment equates his services..

A country we’re Ashawo are the highest earners is doomed.

Saturnalia:
After reading your post, I clicked on your profile to check out your previous topics, and I was drawn to the topic titled “Ocean of Wisdom”.

The paragraph below immediately caught my attention.

“And if the rich won't help the poor grow at least they should not kill the spirit of a struggling man.”

The above quotation touched me and I tried to juxtapose it with your intention in this thread, and I can’t help but ask the following questions:

Why is it so difficult for Nigerians to practice what they preach?

In one thread, you admonish people never to kill the spirit of a struggling man, yet here you are looking for a slave that will run errands for you - using their own money?

How does this selfish endeavor that you seek translate into helping people to grow?

In this harsh economy with biting fuel costs?

Why don’t you recruit your siblings or family members from your village for such “profitable” tasks if what you seek isn’t slavery?

Or don’t you have reliable people & go getters in your family?

This is the reason I have always characterized people by their actions and never by their foolish words.

I know a lot of you will blame me after reading this and even want to curse me, but this is my sad story and I just want to put it out there for people to learn. Don't ever let your parents decide your partner for you. Even if you have to run away, do it.

I recently got married to an ugly, short, black, smelly, village girl. At first my uncle took me to see her, then we spoke and she came visiting. All these happened in the village.

When I went back to the city, I told my mom I wasn't interested in her any more, but she insisted I must marry her. My mom would always take my joy by telling me about the girl anytime she sees me happy. There was no breathing space. We live together and I pay the rent. I loved her so much that I could do anything for her. She once sold her wrappers/materials and jewelleries, to send me money for school fees.

Anytime she tries to talk to me about the girl, I will beg her and let her understand that young people like to marry who they truly love. I don't want her, I don't love her and I don't think I will ever will.
After all said and done, she still insisted, so I called my elder bro to come talk to her. He came in from another state and spoke with my mom for hours. She did as if she would allow me marry my choice, just for my brother to go. Immediately my brother left, she started again.

My mom has BP. She stopped using her medication and was ailing. she threatened that if she dies, that I killed her. I thought to myself, that if she truly dies, I might live with the regrets for the rest of my life. I really tried but I was defeated. I succumbed. But before marrying the girl, I spoke to her(the girl) that I don't love her and that I'm marrying her against my wish, but I guess she was desperate. She said I shouldn't worry, that the love would grow in the marriage.

We got married. She lives with me and my mom. Even my neighbours were disappointed in me, when they saw her. Church members and friends were all disappointed. I can't start narrating to them how I got here.

We are over a year gone now and she still irritates me. I so much hate to look at her. We've had sex only about 5 times or so and I have to get high to do this. I only kissed her once(at the alter and I cringed)

I cry everyday.....both at home and while hustling. I never envisaged my life to be like this. I had hoped to meet a beautiful, clean and well mannered graduate from the city. Someone I would truly love and she would love me too. I'd hoped that I would meet her, approach her and we start as friends, then lovers, then I would propose and all. I never planned for it to be like this.

I am so sad with my life. Right now, I'm thinking of applying for masters abroad and probably use the means to Japa and never come back again.

My life is so miserable!

Learn from me. Don't ever let your parents blackmail you into marrying someone you don't love. Pls don't. Just run away for months or few years and they will leave you alone.

Guys, the madness of Nigerian immigration and Custom officers at our land borders are so pathetic.

They extort and harass both foreigners and NIGERIANS.
You tell them you are going to the Nigerian border town, they will ask you "what are you going to do and who are you going to meet?"
I mean traveling within Nigeria with your Nigerian ID cards as a Nigerian o. So, annoying.

These extortions are done openly on these border roads.
There are like 30 roadblocks on each road and at each stop you are extorted.

I am seriously looking for ways to expose these idiotts with hidden cameras on some of my land travels.

It is so annoying being harassed by those who are supposed to protect you.

Do you have any bad experience with these guys in Uniform?
