Where did you get this from? "So what is 4 that he can't afford after four years of hustling in London"?

Let's do some maths. Taxi drivers make between £500-£800 a week, let's assume his is very lucrative driving football players to trainings and stuff. He will make up to £1000.
That's £26000-£52000 a year. He has to pay the taxi company every week, but fuel, insurance, pay house rent and other domestic expenses.

So you think he could save N10m or around £30k-£40k per year after expenses. Mind you he has to pay tax. So after four years, assuming he landed from Heathrow and started his cab business the following day having mastered all the driving routes from surfing the net in Nigeria or with the aid of his sat nav,He could save N40m or £130k-£135k after hustling for four years??

I read thru every bit of it and first I must say it a wonderful write up and I am disappointed at nairalander's asking for summary above.. please u guys should learn to read.

@topic isn't it funny that a taxi driver in UK is able to build a house in lekki... that is the reason everybody wants to travel even when they know it's not going to be easy.
A graduate working in civil service or even doctors can't build house in lekki except they do illegal runs or have other private businesses

Hello All,
I have been an ardent follower of Nairaland for a while but had been on the reading and consumption part. But today I felt there is a need to address some wrong perception on the war against corruption by the President Buhari led FG. (Warning: Am not a very good writer)

Everyday I keep reading that President Buhari's corruption campaign is one way, is partial or is a witch-hunting affair, but you should all know that the officials you are seeking the FG to interrogate are not directly related to Presiddent Buhari's objectives for now.
The President has always made it known that he is after the country's treasury looters, he has not named any names, he has not made any allegations against any person or persons. So it pains me to see Nigerians claiming he is witch hunting or after some group of people and not others.

The President Buhari Led FG is after people who have served the country in the Federal level and those that directly affects his office.
You are all asking him to Probe Amaechi, Fashola, Tinubu, Obasanjo etc. He has made it clear his fight against corruption is focused on his immediate predecessors and not those before. That means he will only be focusing on the Ex-President Jonathan led Administration, you all should know that the task of going after the immediate past Government alone can take up the whole 4 years, so how do you expect him to go way back to 1999? Knowing fully well he might not be able to achieve any other goal if he has to do this? Please let's respect the President and just sit back and watch him work rather than distracting him.

To the issue of probing Amaechi or Fashola, you all should understand that these ex-Governors are not directly related to the FG's office and should and can be probed by those in their respective offices now. Wike has been after Amaechi and that for me should be enough and we should call on Ambode to go after Fashola and not the FG because their positions are not directly related to his office.

Please let's us all wake up, be objective. let us try to join hands to make sure that Nigeria grows and not acting in ways make this government fail.

One love to you all

Her lover and partner is in deep problem and I don't know how soon it will be resolve because right now, her life is at PAUSE.
They are genuine partners and very honest with each other, they have dated for long and it's obvious that they are going to the aisle together.
He is a hustler too, into business and other things to support his mom as dad is late and he is the only son, two sisters long been married so mom stays alone with a grandchild.
Just heard that he got caught months back in India with drugs and has been jailed. He is looking at 15 years hmm. What do you advice her to do because time may not be on her side as a woman though she is still in pains and refuses to leave the guy's mother's side.
If she is your sister, what do you think? Very responsible lady she is tho.

Gboliwe:
TBH, the more posts you make, the more my eyebrows are raised. I sincerely don't understand why you don't see the urgency in your wife's condition. Why something as trivial as the doctor's feelings should bother you at this time. Anyway, our make-up is different.

dont8:
I'll definitely take that decision tomorrow, but fund is the main issue right now.

dont8:
Thanks askseek, not that I'm not showing any sign of urgency but simply following the Doctor's directive which is tomorrrow.

dont8:
I went to the hospital early this morning to see the Doctor but unfortunately I didn't meet him but met the Matron on duty before I went to work. I told her my wife was discharging substance believed to be mucous with blood and she said that's the more reason we should not waste further time. But I don't know how tell him, if at all I'm going to be moving her to government hospital at the end of the day.

5minsmadness:
Done it a couple of times, no biggie for me.

The only thing is thier mom got upset when she found out i was giving her kids beer to help them sleep at night...She refused to leave them with me after that

mutter:
Let me and we you briefly because I really am between two doors.
Young lady do you expect me to splash my documents here. Documents I obtained 27 years ago!!!! Asking for much aren't you ..
I never mentioned I was a lawyer on this thread. So if someone has been stung to look it up...how do react. ?
Besides this is common sence and general knowledge.
THIS is not an issue of right or wrong . This is a case of owing or not.
If the hospital has a claim let them consult their lawyers. They can obtain a judgment that can be enforced in Nigeria .
Owing is not a criminal offence. The court looks at what they can obtain from you and how you can pay
Does she have a car worth 17000 pounds! So what. It is not a luxury when you have five kids to have a roadworthy car. She needs at least a seven seater. Can you buy a new car at that amount? No court in Europe would demand the car has to be auctioned
Is she paying 8 000 school fees. This is not a luxury. Parents are still free to determine what school their kids go to. For five kid's. ..that is not a luxury for a court in UK.
Do you realise that this poor woman has been made a victim by politicians.
But since you live in the US. It's okay. A black man life is not worth that lf a lion.
I would be unfair to myself and others if I do not write the truth.

mutter:
I need to reply you later on your other posts.
What you pay as taxes is more on the average. If you are single it isn't the world.
How much of taxpayers money have you consumed since birth and how much have you paid into the system.
Right now your account is on a big minus. You have not returned what you consumed so no one is living on your taxes. You have not yet fulfilled the generation contract of paying back the taxes paid by the older generation who need to be funded on their old age.
Please give us a break. !!!!

SAMBARRY:
I'm not surprised reading this because this thing happened to a distant friend of mine about 2years back here in lagos.this my distant friend was the side chic . We met at an owanmbe party when her gele loosed and she said I should help her tie it back. We exchanged contacts and we became friends


Fast forward to 2momths she invited me for another owanmbe party. I told her I will come only for me to get there and I saw her wearing and co with another woman's husband. Of whichI knknew the wife vevery well. I had to ping her that the woman's husband you're dancing with and hitting your ass on his something is here o.she replied me that she knows. She wasn't even moved. She was just dancing and shaking her everything on the guy and that one too was spraying one one thousand on her like a mumu.while dancing she was busy doing the fk you sign with her fingers for the wife who was just sitting there with her little son doing nothing


I just said to myself before this place turns to a fracas let me just leave quietly. I didn't even eat the food they served me. I just drank the smirnoff and left.

Since then I hav heard from her sha.i don't even know what she's doing for herself

Askseek:
Why is he blessed, because with one broad sweep he castigated most men. I beg to differ, he is more than likely associating with unsavory characters which makes me think he is also not an honorable person. Not all men are jerks, some are, some are not. Be smart, and like sambarry said don't be asking strangers for help if u don't want to be propositioned. Every man/woman has a price and if u can't or won't pay don't be crying about how bad some man is. He's encouraging women to put themselves in danger, hit a man. What does he think will happen when she does that. Will he be there to fight for her. How about women don't expose themselves by asking for help indiscriminately like they don't have 2 hands to work.

Pidggin:
Wow I can't believe a male posted this! Blessed is the womb that bore you.

tearoses:
Thats life dear
A very close friend of mine got divorced and after the divorce, it was like suddenly she was set free and her set of friends changed and she would spend weekends out of town etc and in the end we just gradually drifted.
When I think of it, it is painful because we were really close
Sometimes its really hard, but its just something that one has to accept in life.

cococandy:
That's probably the only thing left to do.
Let the friendship die a natural death.

E dey pain sha.

cococandy:
Ladies how do you handle a situation where your friend breaks up with her man who happens to be your man's friend?

This is all shades of awkward for me right now because I can't have him come over my place with his new girl (as he did once) while my babe may come around. I knew her before him so I'm girlcodes on her side.

But can't ask hubby to sacrifice his friendship with the dude just so I can preserve mine with my friend.
One selfish person would have to win here and I want it to be me.

Aringarosa:
I honestly believe in "different strokes for different folk", but this a load of garbage that he has somehow talked himself into accepting. Call me selfish, but I want a partner who is just for me. I don't need someone lying next to me at night, after she has enjoyed a long evening of sex in possibly all of it's forms with another.

Yes, we all can run into someone that we find deeply attractive, but sharing the intimacy with someone else that you do with your partner cheapens what you have between you. There is little left sacred. And those seemingly harmless "dates" can easily turn into a great deal more that could cause all concerned unbearable pain.

If a person wants an open relationship, they should remain single.

yorubadelta:
Of course na..
But, won't you find it a lil cringe-worthy? uno.. just the mere fact that your parents are under the same roof..
I would definitely feel some way about it just out of reverence for my folks ...

yorubadelta:
In a situation where you and your husband/wife go stay with your parents for a lengthy period of time i.e. for the holidays.

Would you feel comfortable getting intimate with your spouse during your stay there?

tithe:
That is candid truth, I have told her to leave the man but she is saying; what will she tell the children when they grow up and start asking of their father. That she is waiting until the man throws her things outside then she will hold on to that explanation. She wants me to enquire on the human right blablaa so that the husband will be the one to leave the house for her and the children if they come into the matter.

Jascon4:
The post is absolutely unambiguous and straight to the point. I don't see any reason why it should be misunderstood.

Why feel a "tad bit dumber"?
