CrossRhodes:
It is not like that world wide according to you..

who is Obama godfather?
who is trump godfather?
Who is Biden godfather?

The governor of California who is his godfather?
Who is otti godfather?

Una go just dey yap rubbish for mouth and hand..

Why be sey some people mumu? So you expect all those people you mentioned to publicly announced their godfathers?

Proudman1:
why all these explanations?

I have been building websites for my clients and they are all happy. why una come dey shalaye for wetin no concern una?

You bill your client 100k i bill mine 15k. they are happy, you are happy, i am happy.

I dont attack you but you are here attacking me? what's your point exactly?

You're messing up the market by charging below your peers.

In as much as I'm not a player in your field,it still pains me so much when i see something like this.

How can you charge a website for 15k? Which kind of "yoruba" website can you build with such amoun?

Folks that are planning to get into IT better stay clear of web dev or anything related to it. Dumb people like the OP have already destroy the field with their greed and short-sightedness.

Negroid001:
It's men with low standards that allow this.
Even the rich get married to the rich.

Two captains can't control a ship. Definitely it will sink.

Among influential people marriages,one party must surely be more influential,rich or powerful than the other.

zed7:
Im always amused to hear young men talk. You think you can handle an equal or higher earning woman? There is a reason men marry below their economic bracket.

Women will rubbish you if you are not favouring them economically. One day, they'll walk out on you, knowing very well they'll be fine without you. Half of the decisions will be taken by them. They will demand equality. You don't want to be in that shoe bro.

How can i give this a million likes?

Bro you're very smart. Relationship is all about money and power. Men let's stop fooling ourselves.

Most men go purposely go for ladies beyond their economic class because that is their only leverage in a long term relationship.

Do you really think a lady earning same income or higher income than you would consider a marriage with you? In her mind she's already "settling for less " if she marries you.

Women hypergamy and pride makes them believe that a man must be absolutely superior to her to be her "EQUAL".

What's the meaning of abokina

The literal meaning of "ABOKI" is friend.

"ABOKINA" means my friend.

So it sounds somehow off to just address a stranger as "friend" unless you mean something different

That's why they pick offense. They knew you are only trying to insult them. But when you use "my friend" they believe you are being genuinely friendly.

Go outside and try using "ABOKINA" the reaction will shock you.

advanceDNA:
Interesting.!!!...so u don't mind the tag aboki

I remember one incident I called one northerner aboki just to say hi when I wanted to buy water melon from him........this nigga wasn't having any of gestures at all....I tried to explain that aboki means my friend.....but he got angry more and said to his friend that was trying to calm him down that we down in the south don't use aboki to mean friend.....but we use it as a derogatory or a mere general tag for any one that's a northerner...

Deep down....I knew he was right......I said sorry...but he ddnt bulge..so I just left him quickly

I used to mind in the past but not anymore.

Sometimes i pick fun calling my fellow northerners "ABOKI" just for laughs and when they pick offense i immediately apologise in hausa after that they would laugh along with me.

It quite silly how a harmless word is now given a different meaning.

Aboki truly is an insulting term in the south. You should use "ABOKINA" instead and most northerners won't mind.

shaybebaby:
And unfortunate for you because you have to be mindful of your doings in the rest of the world.

I'm not in "the rest of the world".

I'm your typical aboki northerner and in my books,any lady that is 23 and above is already OLD. Or what my homeboys call an EVENING NEWSPAPER.

shaybebaby:
The world isn't the North.

Fortunately for you guys. If not you would have been mindful of your doings.

Jewessgratitud3:
Uncle I'm not looking for husband on nairaland. I don't know why everyone thinks I'm looking for one and if I needed a husband I would have picked from the 100s of DMs I got from this Post. But no way! There are better men outside this forum.

Ill be minding my business,doing my thing and they'll just mention me and start insulting me. For what now? If I don't give it back to them they'll keep coming but I think I've given them enough to last them for a season but will they let me be?

I don't talk much in real Life. Very easy going fellow but I won't allow anyone bully me online and I'll be looking.

Let no nairalander pick Interest in me for a relationship biko. I don't want them. Very toxic human beings.

I'm just here catching cruise.

I get you now. Life without cruise isn't worth living truly.

Let me add something, they are some really high profile individuals on nairaland. They just like keeping a low profile.

Also,nairaland have thousands of fresh viewers in any given day. You never can tell who might be watching.

Vergovert:
Girl at 43 you say? Dey play!


43 year old females na great grand ma for far north.

Go confirm.

Bros i be confirm northerner and wetin you talk no be lie. Infact any girl from 23 na evening newspaper already for north.

I just dey try give am small hope because she desperately need it.

Jewessgratitud3:
To who?
For what?

When you were asking me a mumu question did you apologize? No be only...
you think I'm dumb and didn't see what you did there? You threw a subtle shade at me and put a disclaimer. Don't ever do that to me again unless you go hear wetin dey my mouth.

The award of nairaland most noisy evening newspaper is hereby given to you.

It's one thing to be an evening newspaper com still rude join am.

It's like you've already given up on finding a mate no wonder you're always bitter. Mind you,a potential suitor who fits the spec you have in mind could be reading all this,do you imagine he'll go for a girl like you?

saphiere:
I think it's high time we realize that Nigeria will not get any better if the affairs of this country is not piloted by a woman.

Checkout our women basketball team, football team or is it our great women like Dr Mrs Ngozi and Late Mrs Dora?

I think we should drop pride and senseless ego and allow women to governor this country.

PS: Google the bridge constructed by Desmond Elliot and the one constructed by the female councilor.

Also Google the water project donated by Peter Obi and the one donated by Marvin music star, Ayra Starr

Women can only rule a finished nation. In our era,we can never allow such to happen to our beloved nigeria.

MrBrownJay1:
the question is irrelevant to the issue at hand...but hey, if anyone wants to dream about living famous people lives (believing it is automatically better than theirs) then by all means do so. again, only mentally miserable/poor people believe that money would solve all their problems in life.

go ask Steve Jobs and/or Paul Allen if all the money in the world could solve their problem in life.

Stop dodging the question. Give me a straight answer.

MrBrownJay1:
now you are mixing apples with oranges... the OP solely looked at rich/famous people stating that their lives was automatically better because they were rich... which is false. but sadly, thats how poor people think. they automatically believe that more money always means happier life... and thats not always the case. there are many rich people out there who aint happier than poor people...FACT!!! there are many rich people out there who aint healthier than poor people....FACT!

but hey, again, if you believe that a person who has more money than you is automatically HAPPIER THAN YOU, then so be it.

here is a simple clue: the person living in face me i face you today, if you buy them a 2bedroom apt in Yaba, they will be happier until they now get comfortable and see that people live in duplex in Lekki (and now will desire for more)... and when you now buy them that Lekki duplex, they will desire for Banana Island mansion, and thereafter apt in South Africa, then mansion in London etc etc etc
so again, MONEY DOESNT BUY HAPPINESS, IT JUST BUYS THE STUFF YOU BELIEVE YOU DESIRE TODAY TO FILL THAT VOID. there will always be a void if you are a person who value your happiness upon what others have. a poor miserable person with money, will just turn into a RICH MISERABLE PERSON!

Okay. To each his own. On a second note, would you rather be poor and miserable or rich and miserable?

MrBrownJay1:
remember, to a poor man, everything is better... more food is better, more money is better etc but the reality is that many people who have more money than poor people aint automatically happy (there lives only seem more interesting TO YOU). if you ask the majority of them, they would tell you that they'd rather live a normal life.

a poor person will only be happy to get more food/money etc for the 1st few years, then afterwards when that person is accustomed to the more food/money etc he or she will desire "more" that possibly MONEY CANT BUY.

MONEY ONLY BUYS HAPPINESS TO POOR PEOPLE (who never had money)

If you keep on with this mindset of "money vs happiness" anytime a topic on MONEY is being discussed,i can assure you that you and your kinds can never achieve that "HAPPINESS ".

So somebody drinking garri every morning due to lack of means won't BE HAPPY when given an option to eat his preferred meal every morning?

Those poor folks battling serious ailments at public hospital due to lack of funds won't BE HAPPY when given a chance to be taken abroad for effective cure for thier predicament?

The mathematics graduate who is now a class teacher earning 60k in a month won't BE HAPPY when offered a job of over 1m along with other benefits?

People living in trenches. Face me and face you won't BE HAPPY if given a 3-bedroom duplex with free rent in their preferred location?

For your sake,I'll advice you to desist from having thoughts like "money can't buy you happiness".

Happiness is actually FREE. Anything WORTH MONEY ISN'T.

JohnOkolo:
“If your papa do anyhow, dem go luck am up”

Shows you are a product of those public secondary schools.

Dem go really luck am up and not lock

ITK who asked you? He's point is already understood even as he used "luck" instead of lock.

People should learn to ignore somethings.

Namaster:
Children are a NIGHTMARE to raise these days. Raising another man's children is the kind of nightmare that even Stephen King cannot conjure.

First of all, you are opening yourself up to a LOT of problems. You are inviting not 1, not 2 but 3 strangers into your life.

If you have NO kids, you will IMMEDIATELY be outnumbered in your own home. If you have kids, you are exposing them to unhealthy levels of rivalry.

Nothing disappoints a child than seeing their parent investing his scarce resources in EQUALLY in children that are not related to him.

It communicates to the kids that if their father could invest in strange kids as much as he invests in them, then they are not special to him. The superior love that parents have for their offsprings does not exist in their lives.

In short, they feel UNLOVED. Or less loved.

And make no mistake, your wife will make sure your investments (bothe emotional and fijancial) in her kids is equal to your investments in your kids. She'll argue that is the only way to keep the family cohesive.

Meanwhile, she'll NEVER do the same for your kids. Your kids will begin to learn firsthand the origin of the evil stepmother fairy tales.

That is if you have kids.

If you don't have kids, why are you eager to live your life raising another man's kids. Kid's that will NEVER accept you as their father.

Their father is dead which makes him a special kind of hero that can never be replaced. To them, you are nothing but a wallet and a mother-fuuucker.

Plus when you try to discipline them, they'll feel like you were being too harsh because they are not your biological kids. Your wife will feel like you were being too harsh because they were not your biological kids. Then you will start to question yourself whether you were being too harsh because they were not your biological kids.

Also the quality and frequency of sex with a single mother is NEVER great. Pregnancy and child birth fuucks up a woman's body. Sometimes, her mind too.

You'll have to deal with that too.

Finally, everybody you know will think of you as a LOW-QUALITY MAN. They will treat you as such. It'll be unconscious, not deliberate. It's a kind of evolutionary instinct.

Only a low-quality man with no other options will choose to raise another man's seeds for a chance at getting pussy. It means you agree to let your resources be siphoned to raised offsprings that offer you no evolutionary advantage in exchange for a puuusssy that's been damaged by another man's dick and the birth of another man's children.

Low quality!

One last thing:708y660

All single mothers are angels when dealing with a prospective suitor. Marry them and you'll unlock their hidden demons.

Boss you said absolutely nothing but facts! The best part i love is this;
"TO THEM YOU A NOTHING BUT A WALLET AND MOTHER-FUCKER".

FRANCISTOWN:

FRANCISTOWN:
This life no hard at all. But some of you just wan kill yourself.

One of my philosophies of life is; if money can solve a problem, just use money.
But some of you are too stubborn, you always wan dey use coconut head.

Police stop your vehicle for road and you wan dey speak English. Baba just find them #2k make everybody dey alright. Police is happy and you are happy too. Everywhere good.

If person run you street, no too caprisune. Enter zanga, call area boys make them wipe him slate clean. Everywhere good, area boys go hallelu eledumare, you sef go jollof. Everyone go happy.

Naija girls love money, if you get money. No dey talk too much. I no fit get money make one chikala come dey reason me foolishness.
"Fine girl how far, I hol' block". Normally, she go follow you if she don see the rabas and if you don pipe am, make you follow from window throway her.
Na mumu dey game woman.

If you get boss wey no too like you like that. You just package better wine drop am for him table like 2times. Your boss is happy, you are happy too.

If you go cause wahala, and the person come wan use police carry you. Normal, if you no get police connect. Jus find the person. Gee am dough, make everybody dey alright. If police carry you lasan. Mosquitoes go first chop your papa life for station.

If you bash person car and you been break him light. Before the person go begin speak English. If you hold your side, just ask the person how much for the light , pay am make everywhere good. The person dey happy, you too go dey happy, nobody go dey pour spit for your head.

If you geh broskies wey you never see for a while, and you be wan see am. Just holla at. Tell am make him paste aza. Biza am make him feel the weight. As he dey hear alert, na him go dey apologize say him no dey check up on you.

If you go interview and you see say ena plenty. Follow the HR head reason. Bargain with am how much you go dey give am for the first 6months just as appreciation ni o. The HR is happy, you self dey happy.

I once introduced a mechanic to one of my homies back in the days. After the repair, the guy talk say the mechanic wey I introduce am to don spoil something for hin engine. Haaa! I call the guy, the guy say the thing don almost wan spoil before but na for him hand e spoil finish.

The bottom line be say. Money get power die. But if you no sabi use am. You are weak.

One of the OGs worth following on nairaland. Bros na man you be.

Money should not be an end. Money should be used as a means to an end. Money is a tool. Just like a gun or any weapon,the skill of the user determine the extent of damage caused by the weapon.

Truthshotcrazy:
Say whaaat? 3 fvcking weeks. Have you tried contacting customer care? you are supposed to contact customer care within 3 working days maximum of failed transaction for them to trace the transaction & rectify the problem.

All the time l had problem with bank , crediting SB and person no alert, l Marched straight to the physical banking hall nearest branch close to my local government in my state, to complain & it was rectified within days.
3weeks of unsuccessful hanging transaction don pass to carry mat & pillow go their lag head office complain . If U Not in lag,or Abuja otilo

Bros i no dey lag. I don't comot mind for the money but I've learnt my lesson.

Tradepunter2:
All these useless paid opay agent up there..... You think serious biznes minded people use opay? You must be daft..... Keep fooling yourselves

Exactly bro. Opay and co should be used only with transactions involving paltry sums. I sent 15k last 3 weeks to someone and uptil now opay has neither refunded me nor credited the person.

Personally any transaction with 50k and above,opay and co is out. I'll rather use traditional banks and every serious business person should do likewise.

Starboytwo:
I mean, if you are not using opay and I asked for your aza and you dey quote uba cbn ait etc I just shake head and pity.


Opay forever.

Bros no loseguard o. Be careful with these fintech apps. Naso i take send person 15k money no go and customer service no come dey answer us again. This same opay.

Use them carefully.

realG101:
I agree with you for the most part.

But imagine that you have a particular babe that was there when you were building your shit. She cheered you up when you were not yet wealthy and even supported financially.

Will it be fair to take a second wife over her when you finally arrive especially if you are aware she wants monogamy.

You call yourself a realG, i think you should try to live up to your monicker.

A realG suppose understand women nature throughly but I'm afraid you're still a learner.

Sirchiboy:
You can never succeed if you are too soft, gentle or kind.

Say this again bro.

The meek and gentle can never dominate. But sometimes you have to fake gentleness and kindness to disarm and deceive. Also when you need to make friends.


But never be truly KIND OR GENTLE. Even girls that are fish-brain detest such guys. That should tell you a lot.

DevilsEqual:
U swallowed all she said like you would be rewared for believing shits

The fact that she felt the urge to explain that much says alot about her nonexistent confident but as the thirsty man that u are with zero analytical mind, u couldnt even see through that

You be mumu. 70 years old man. You are nothing but a mumu man

Meteng:
You forgot the oloshos he’ll use to step down the successful’deal’

For this world nothing sweet pass SARA MONEY. Money gotten with no stress.

Op me i envy this lucky guy.

If na me be the guy i go make sure to collect Times two of that amount. You were blinded by your greed. So good for you.

Proserpina:
It's bad enough when you people think as men your lives revolve around women but you assuming the same for a gender you are not speaks utter foolishness.

News flash dude, I as a woman have other aspect of my life that does not revolve around men or romance. Will beauty pave way for you when you are to develop yourself educationally, will beauty pave way when family,social and financial responsibilities come calling? Lol I know for a fact that my smiles, figure or beauty won't make my family exclude me from contributing to house renovations or member's celebration. . Will I smile and shake bumbum at the market for food?

It's really funny you can advise a lady to focus on her beauty but with what? Nl likes or hands out from men ? On this same forum you all call women all sorts of names for being dependent. Oh I forgot the common disease most of you guys suffer here... Dyslexia plus selective reasoning.

Lol... And he said " dragging careers with men" such insecurity!!! Like we don't know how it all ends when beauty " pave way"
I chose the better way to get things done for myself, I don't want to start wading off flies all because they help. Do you know how draining it is and the workload and guilt that comes with shedding off someone who "helped you because you are pretty" ?

Lol dude thinks I'm team independent woman abi strong woman . I will make my money and still chop your money Don't choke

My smart prosperina. I dey feel you. Ori e owambe.

I'll definitely do the same or more if i was among the VAGINA CREW.

My money is mine and that foolish husband money is ours.

Kobojunkie:
That ain't a fact!

You just did. Tank u

EreluRoz:
Who are the 90%?

From your comment you are obviously threatened by a successful woman 😆

What's my business with a successful woman? Why should i be threatened? Is she the only lady in the world?

You were making sense in your post and i commended you on that don't make me see reasons to regret what i said.

EreluRoz:
Let me answer mine.

Beauty(whole package 😆) gives me confidence more than any other thing and I'm not even going to lie about it or say my brains. It has really paved way for me and make things extremely easy for me everywhere I go.

90% of nairaland will agree with me that you're full of shit from your comments on this platform but i have to commend you here for being totally honest.

Nothing gives you more POWER in this world as a lady more than your BEAUTY. Not money or brains but your PHYSICAL APPEARANCE.

If you like as a lady be dragging career and money with men. I'm not saying you shouldn't but chasing those thing is masculine and no man want another man in a woman's body.

Focus on your BEAUTY.

Kobojunkie:
Explain yourself!

The kobojunkie i know on nairaland can never comment without her usual emoji.

Kobojunkie:
Nigeria is definitely made for your kind.

Kobojunkie where is your normal
