Those that feel it is overrated either had unrealistic expectations about it, or got married to someone who did not bring value to the union.
Some of us got married to women that brought and added heavy value to the union, while also getting it back in multiple fold from us. But again, I am an older Gen X guy. Na my children wey I dey fear for with the kind of mentality the Gen Zs have.

Thank you. I'm better with my marriage, na collabo back to back and we're winning big time!

illicit:
Exactly

It's same for every gender

To date no be big problem, but to marry (the right person) hard o

You don't know what you are talking about. To get a girl to date is like a war for more than 50% of guys.

MadamVanessa:


That's for those that sees marriage as an achievement or winning laurel. However, those of us who have experienced it firsthand, we've realize it's overrated. Having tasted marriage and discovered its limitations, i no longer swayed by societal pressures. I value my independence and freedom above all else.

Independence to be wayward and morally indiscipline, my guess. My wife has freedom and independence, and so do I. I don't know the kind of independence and freedom you might probably want other than being loose

Israel is a nation of terrorists and land thieves

Laughing. If the victim had 1m dollars, they wouldn't be found in commercial bus

Owologbo:
It will work.
Those that depends on the US market will pull out when they see the devastating effects of the tariff.
By the time 3 to 5 countries pull out, their morale will drop.

What is US market without other countries importing from and exporting to it? USA is just one country and she doesn't have it take to bully BRICS that's welcoming more nations every year. It is a fantasy or delusional for you to even think that a whole BRICS will fall because Trump/US sneezed 😃

psucc:
And the "small" countries will be shivering by now and asking their big brothers "you hear what DT have said, what do we do?".

MAGA is ready for everything.

MadamVanessa:

Those fóolish countries have no option but to conform to the dominant global power structure or face severe repercussions.

Chucks13:
I told Putians that Trump nor send Putin dem say I xey lie.

Una eyes go clear soon.

Botragelad:
BRICS is a joke. Trump's a patriot(most of the time), through and through, and he's all about putting America first. You can't have your cake and eat it, according to him, - you gotta choose between the US dollar or watching your economy go down the pan

Kids' enthusiastic talk.
How many countries do USA want to threaten without isolating herself?

Bayajjidda:
So this mess Nigeria is in is nothing to you?

Of course, it is. But the bitter soul I quoted wasn't making any sense

REDshouse:
Yes there is hardship but everyone have adjusted the prices of goods and services to reflect present realities... House rent has gone up, prices of gala has also gone up so is prices of all spare part, cement and most especially services... So wat is the difference between yesterday hardship and today hardship or you want to tell me that hardship just started when subsidy was removed.

Remove of subsidy and floating of naira ruined everything. Hardship didn't start today as you are insinuating but the price of rice went up from 35k under Buhari to 90-100k under Tinubu. The prices of foods and items continue to rise every week, that has never happened in Nigeria before. That's the difference

Arobaga:
They should all suffer and die

The ones wey hunger and Tinubu no kill will use their tongue count their teeth

I no dey pity any Nigerian again neither do I give beggars money again

Because if Tinubu still has supporters then Nigerians ain’t ready

You are just being bitter over nothing. We have noticed you, pls swerve!

Mobile wallets have been forced to start deducting N50 per transaction for the money that's up to 10k even when you send money to yourself

Kobojunkie:
I don't really understand why people like this Fani-Kayode are allowed to still open their mouths to speak... Nigerians, una see wetin una don do una selves?

FFK was right about this one. The little girl is just chasing and looking for attention but must she ridicule Nigeria? She should leave Nigeria alone now that Britain is now her country.

greenermodels:
Na only God knows how we de take survive these days.

Like you called it, it is surviving which is the basic. It is not living which is the most desirable. Nigerians are surviving, not living. What a shame

harmargedon:
can you define poverty for me?

May be you should tell us your own definition of poverty if you don't agree with the ones you are taught in school or the ones on the internet

wirinet:
E be like say APC don't inflict poverty mentality on Nigerians, so much so most people don't even understand what standard living means anymore. A family of 4 adults living on N500k for 2 months cannot live comfortably and eat anything they like. With that family income you would probably be living in a room and parlour in poor suburban neighbourhood, eating poor quality food that lacks protein on a diet of 101, flying danfo for transportation to work or business (that's assuming no school fees is involved).
A single egg is now now 300, a loaf of sliced bread is N1500. So how much will breakfast of eggs and bread with tea cost for a family of 4 adults? What's about a meal of beans and dodo, mind you derica of beans is N2500. A small bunch of plantain is N1500. We have not even considered cost of other ingredients like oil, pepper, etc., and gas to cook the beans. Rice and meat/chicken nko? The cost is the same. The N250,000 per month would barely be enough to feed well alone, not to talk of other expenses. I am sure if you guys should contact malaria or typhoid, na agbo or prayers you go use take cure am, because hospital bill for ordinary malaria and typhoid pass N10k per person. Original augmentine capsules now don reach N15k. If dem admit any of una for hospital for one night, just hold 50k.
Live a comfortable life and eat whatever you like indeed.

He's capping. He thinks we're talking about the prices of items under Buhari or Jonathan. The prices of food now is now like times 3 or 4 compared to under Buhari.
Even if he manages to survive with 250k per month, is that going to all? He won't bother about saving or investing? He will just be living from hand to mouth, paycheck to paycheck?

SoftSport:
Clout chaser!

It's quite misleading to claim that someone earning a salary between 300k and 500k is poor.

Such statements seem designed to sensationalize issues and undermine the government's efforts.

While we acknowledge the economic challenges, a salary in that range can indeed provide a decent standard of living in Lagos or elsewhere in Nigeria.

It's essential to recognize the nuances of financial stability rather than reduce it to simplistic notions of wealth and poverty.

"Undermining the government efforts" statement gave you up. Government efforts that is putting more people in poverty zone? I earn that much but Tinubu has turned living in present Nigeria into struggle and nightmare.
That amount 300k-500k will be huge to those who don't earn that much or close to that, but it doesn't have much value under Tpain

Boxnaijatv:
Wahala!!! "If your salary is between 300k and 500k in Nigeria you are no longer in the middle class". - Man says


Fact or cap?

It is a fact. Even if people who are earning more than that are still not finding it easy to pay bills and save/invest

handsomeyinka:
Even some psychiatric doctors are depressed..

LOBATAN.

It is hitting them hard too. Most of them are fixed income, you know

helinues:
Should we say some people have stopped taking responsibility for their personal needs without allowing the situation to deteriorate

Because this one that any small thing, government must be responsible. Are the so called politicians Aliens from Pluto? Are they not the same products of the Nigeria community which refused to produce good products.

The yahoo boys, the Oloshos, the criminals, abeg where are their parents? Are those also government?

Be responsible and sensitive with your comments on issues. When both doctors and patients families are saying the same thing as the likely root cause of the problems, just know that there might be elements of truth in there. It is not every time you feel the urge and need to defend these governments (FG SGs and LGs). I voted for this administration at the top but all Tinubu had done was to put more citizens in abject poverty and causing hopelessness among the citizens.

Where is the gain now? Useless leaders, clueless people in government. You removed subsidy from petrol and electricity, you floated Naira and it is falling everyday. And now you have your workforce trooping to psychiatric hospitals unable to work anymore, yet more workforce group are staying with them at the hospitals, the economic mess your policies created are even making more people losing their jobs and more firms and companies are folding up. Is that not your countries real GDP falling and shrinking? Again, where is the gains of all these useless policies if all these negative outcomes are what we are seeing?

SilentEmma:
Brother I no get time to argue with you, the fire burning me is way too overwhelming that I will start narrating this and that to you...

Stay bless abeg

You don't want to take responsibility, that's typical of humans

EdiskyHarry:
If Nigeria was a serious country, sadiya and Betta edu would have been chilling in the prison by now

I dey tell you. Even Osinbajo. If I tell you what they did when that agency was under Osinbajo, you won't believe me. I shared it once here and someone quoted me and said it was a lie! I had to attach the POS receipt of balance of 100 million naira in my wallet (you heard me right) before I later delete it to prevent trouble

Newsmills:
Nigeria and the system will always push someone to oblivion especially when working outside the tenets of an evil taskmaster a lot is involved.

Her taskmaster is evil? What work did she do outside her taskmaster tenets again? That woman is evil, too desperate to loot.

TooMuchStuff:
Came in to the ministry late....and doesn't belong to the FULANI stock whom the ministry was specifically created for by Buhari for the purpose of siphoning Niger Delta oil money 💰 for sharing amongst the Northern Muslims ☪️

Be healed in Jesus name.

Mom007:
Sarcasm and jokes aka clowning. So What's your problem? You don't mind when they joke with another person's life but you mind that they get called out for it?

You took the the matter too seriously as if you were the only one who understood her plight but others didn't

SilentEmma:
Hmmmmm... May God not allow you experience anything that will make u borrow from loan app, that's all I can say to you

You don't get it. If eventually you can't get more loans from those online loan apps, won't you shift your attention to somewhere else to seek financial help? You went that way because you saw it as the easiest way, from the first one to the fifth one, haba! If you could still get more from them, you would have gotten it

Addme:
I really can't remember the success you are talking about as APC performed woefully in Anambra.
Though I understand that's where a major candidate come from but even before Peter Obi, APC has been performing abysmally in that state.

The little votes Tinubu had in Anambra, surely it wasn't from Bianca but from the few who associated with the party

ShenTeh:
Those you have discouraged with your earlier post now, they have run with the inexperienced opinion you provided.

People should learn to understand a subject properly before lording opinions on others.

If you look back today, you'll probably see a lot of things you were getting wrong as a newcomer to the UK at the time. Usually, everywhere man migrates to, the earliest days are often the toughest. It would take resilience and focus to break the glass.

Now those wey you don discourage now don go chop their transport money. And exchange rate don come worse join. You see life?

Congrats on your path of success.

His opinion and advice in the previous thread still stands. Plan before japa, have enough fund

Stupidest report of the year

Nonsensical article written with a myopic mind, with no real survey references, and with less than few factual instances to point at, in a country of over 100k eligible bachelors


Spits...I'm too smart to take this seriously

Not even one or two examples with names
