Congratulations

davidodiba:
Reduce speed. Once you are not on speed, you can to a large extent control things. Speed kiiiills. It kills. Speed is a killer. Avoid speed. Say no to overspending...

Are there posted speed limits in all Nigerian roads?

Believing Buhari will 'change' this country for better.

How many times will they award the contract to fix this refinery ??

JungleJustice01:
Thanks. I'm definitely getting tested today.

If STD, lay low and treat it, do not bump with the wife unless 100% free from it.. do a follow up test to confirm.. this is heavy already, don't make her suffer extra.

If HIV which I don't think it is, do a follow up test to confirm... and check again few weeks later.

You gotta tell her this time because there isn't a 100% cure for that bad Boi yet.

But do not tell the wife while she is still pregnant, she still gotta give birth and you don't want to lose her ... giving birth is a major health cycle women go through, she might remember your did and with the heart break, give up at a critical moment... you might go from an adulterer to a murderer very quick.. so be careful.

JungleJustice01:
I don't mean to stereotype her denomination. Deeper life members strike me as meek and reserved. It was one of the characteristics that attracted me to her in the first place.

This is a tough one.

Do I tell you to lie to your wife?

The good thing here is you have repented (hopefully).

Just ask God for forgiveness, learn your lessons .
But my hesitant advice is, go to test first, hope it is not HIV, it could be STD. Treat it and move on, dont tell the wife, don't do it again, it might be worse next time.

For everyone else reading, that 5 minutes of pleasure could destroy your marriage, your career, and or your life. Be wise and learn from people's mistake!!

samwash:
Let's face the reality, many factors comes into play in the production industry.
lets compare Zambia to Nigria in terms of
Economic growth
Government policies & tax
Dollar exchange rate
Source of raw materials
Market competivenes
Manpower & Technology
Security, Power etc.
A company that has its factory in two different country ( lets say Nigeria & Benin Republic) will not sell a particular product the same price in both country even if they are neighbors.
Note; the value of the country local currency plays a major role that's were inflation comes into play.

See the post above yours..

Also research, how much have is cement sold in South Africa??

I heard less than 2k, what did you hear?

Recall, SA and Nigeria are the 2 largest economy in Africa

Akara chips

FatherOfJesus:
Adopt true federalism and regional and state policing.

I will hold the region police and government accountable for whatever happens in their regions.

Will not solve the whole problem but it will be effective.

You have my vote!

Spacecube:
Why will RCCG get reimbursed and report themselves? Think am well guy...

Nothing shocks me in 9ja any more..

Maybe someone got greedy in the deal and they ran to the press to expose it.

topygel12:
RCCG is the petitioner

So RCCG asked to be reimbursed on the road construction?

Watch some body faint during hearing

The investigation should be who are the players behind cartil construction company?? RCCG? ( I hope not).

But it should be investigated, who signed off on the award from the ministry??

PurestBoy:
So na Dutch people get those 20,000 containers? What's their population sef?

Maybe some of those containers are going to Timbuktu who knows..

EgunMogaji2:
Thanks to the NairaLander that came for a site visit today. I appreciate you.

The post did not include price, or did I miss it?

[Update]

My bad, I saw it in the title.

Sorry for the bother.

Skyfornia:
This piece is emotional...OP I feel your pain, I'll feel worse if I were in your position. But I have to save my marriage...don't stretch this anymore since your wife has shown remorse. Her actions might be influenced by her family and she thought she was doing right...forgive her and try to forget it

Going forward, sit with her and factorize what each of you should be spending at home. It can be 70-30 ratio or 60-40 ratio, with you taking care of the lion share...you are the man of the house and It is your duty as a man to protect your family from any force..even if the force is coming from your wife. Don't allow it tear your family.

I wish you luck!

Very good response.

@ izito , listen to this advice.

Henix:
I don't want to hear that my container was among the ones that were thrown away while trying to reduce the weight of the ship

The ship was traveling from China to Netherlands.

yinkus6750:
So sad.
The nation at large failed her.
The Christian community most especially.
All out Christian leaders have been silent and continue with life.
So unfortunate, takes a US based organisation to be following up on her.
God will surely deliver her from captivity, one day.

They said VP Osibanjonis a senior pastor at RCCG. I don't know if that's true.

We lack maintenance culture in Nigeria.

If universities, skyscrapers built in 1900 are still standing in the western countries. Why shouldn't tinapa still be in a tip top shape. Tinapa is not upto 20 years old.

MrGoood:
I am a businessman and the thing is I am in for money in any choice I make. I made around 22 million in savings last year. Though I cut family and girlfriends off my life to achieve that and am in Nigeria.

But seeing the doings of people outside The country, there was an America based lady that spent over 12 million naira on her mother's burial. For her to spend that much I believe she will have 20x of that amount.

At least for an upright thinking fellow, I feel like am making less so am thinking of relocating. Can I make over 22 million yearly in savings in USA, If no how much can I save? Talk from your personal experience pls, Let stop deceiving each other pls, How much did you save annually in USA? Please let be sincere.

The bolded is a wrong belief of us living in Nigeria.

Someone doing a project in Nigeria or spending money on a ceremony in Nigeria while they are based abroad does not equate surplus funds.

The lady's mother probably had a life insurance and she dipped her hand their for the burial. It could be she took out a loan... it could also be she went out of her pocket but the vast majority of folks doing project in 9ja. If the total value of the project is 12m, it doesn't mean they have 48m sitting around.

They probably robbed Peter to pay Paul to get the project accomplished.

Abeg is she hiring? 90k a month . Boyz wouldn't mind 89k

Obj had a chance to make Nigeria the greatest country in Africa as a president in 1999 but he chose political paybacks and retribution.

Happy birthday to him tho but he is not a legend

Always bending the rules to make one of their own richer smh..


Please don't quote me, I am not feeling fine

lilvicky68:
Nice..just moderate.. well-done..but Oga try give one of this vagina people Belle na..abi are you not capable?

Don't be surprised if Don Jazzy already have a family.

All these houses he buys, who lives in all of them?

I don't know him personally but I know one of my friends, a real agbaya you wouldn't even know he is married talk more of having kids... because he was a bit popular.. he wanted his family out of the spot light.. they live in separate houses.

The police should have had him take his cloths off down to his boxers just like other individuals in police custody.

I bet you he was not even processed , they just gave him a stool to sit in front of the police station, he should have been behind the counter

These might sound funny but this is how the police treat everyone else, why should he be treated differently?

bmcariyo:
250 k monthly. He shock me

. I was being generous

But I will suggest you take your cut plus bank charges for the transfer and give him the rest.

I was having a beer parlor conversation with my men them.. the general consensus was take all the money , let him sweat bullet

But I don't agree with that.

bmcariyo:
You loaned your friend N4,000,000 last year and since then, he has refused to pay back, which has really deteriorated the friendship.

You beg him to just pay you N2,000,000 and forget the rest because you are in a financial crisis. Your friend then says he can only get you N1,500,000 since that's all he has.

You feel like you have no option but to accept. You eventually give him your account details to send the amount directly to your bank.

You wake up the next morning, checked your account and there is N15,000,000 in it. You kept staring at the screen in disbelief but it is indeed 15m.

You grab your phone and find 53 missed calls from him and an additional 27 text messages begging you to transfer back N13,500,000 since he only meant to send N1,500,000 and mistakenly added an extra "0."

As a well-brought-up person, what are you supposed to do?

1. Send back N13,500,000/=?
2. Take your full N4,000,000/=?
3. Keep the entire N15,000,000/=?
4......
5...

#FoodForThought

As a Christian, I don't take what does not belong to me.

I will just take my 4m and send him the rest. I will also deduct any charges the bank will charge me from his money before I send it back.

If you want to be petty, refund him 250k every week until the 13.5m is complete.

Even if he carry you go court, he will not win.. because you did not refuse to return his money..you agreed and you are refunding it

The dog looks like she want no part of whatever this guy is doing

FRAUDSTER. FRAUD.
You don't know these words until you are called one, especially after working so hard, and upright to get to where you are today. In most cases, its only snakes who see every rope as a snake!
If we really do wish ourselves and this thread well, we would always learn to address issues within parties exclusively and only report it here when such move prove abortive.

Very well said..

I had in mind of adding that to my initial post but wanted to have the thought marinate in my mind well before someone label me as fraud.

In as much as we have bad people around us, let's take it easy with all this fraud fraud stuff.

Accusation of Fraud in business is a big stain to wash away. In as much as a client want to guide their investment jealously, remember that the contractor, artisans etc are trying to guide their means of livelihood jealously.

The last 2 fraud this and that here does not fit the bill in my opinion. In a sane court system, there is a good chance both cases will likely to be dismissed outright.

I hope we don't get to the point of someone coming in here to say, ehn.. I reached out to xyz contractor for a job he advertised here, he didn't get back to me, I sent him text, what's app, no response.. don't patronize him/her he is a fraud.

Or a contractor coming in to say, ehn this client agreed to mobilize me with 100k to start the job, he only sent me 97k, he is a fraud.

Again, when you invest in 9ja especially in building a house, all those oyibo mindset is out of the window.. I can understand the frustration of the client (michlins client).. but na 9ja we dey... measurements are not always what you think they are on the building plan and my guess is the client does not live in Nigeria full time.. Oga , na 9ja we dey oo ... it is very frustrating building from abroad especially if it is your first build. I know folks that frustration made them abandon their projects.

Wahala no dey finish oo

It's all good michilins, that's life for you. You gotta have a thick skin.

From the chats I have seen here, it is obvious what the alumaco guy wanted to do. Maybe he have a partner in crime that he would have preferred to partner with on the job but the oga based on the recommendation of his confidant gave you the job and he is not happy about that.

This is similar cut throat culture folks see in corporate jobs. BACKSTABBING.

But my firm believe is, in whatever you do always protect your integrity.. just like you said your name is more important to you. Igbos will say, Eziafa ka ego ( good name is better than money).

Be content, don't spoil your name for wealth and victory is certain!
