BellaElla: I need to ask, is the 500k all the money you have in your savings or just what you have earmarked for you wedding? if the former is the case, please hold on a while and try to save some more or reduce your wedding budget by 200k . U should never start a marriage with an empty account balance. If the latter is the case, i will proceed to breakdown the expenses for you. Traditional marriage : (200k) - attire for couple : 30k -5 crates of malt (120pcs) : 15k -Half bag of rice and condiments: 40k -1 cow leg : 15k - Marriage rites 100k ( This will work only if you have an understanding bride and inlaws) Borrow a home theater system to her place for music and play from your phone using auxiliary wire.
Wedding / Registry : 300k Groom suit, shoes, shirt :20k (You can get a wonderful suit from Ariaria market for 14k) Brides outfit : 50k Dj :10k (Get a friend to do Mc) catering for 100 people : 100k .(Budget 1k per person, it will be enough) everybody must not chop Chairs, canopies, decoration: 50k Rings, Cake : 50k photography :50k
Tips on how to save more money 1. Do trad and white same day. This saves half of the cooking and logistics fund which can be utilized elsewhere. 2. Use an open field for reception 3. Avoid buying asoebi with the hope that people will buy from you.most people especially family will just collect and not pay back. give colours of the day instead. 4. You do not need to print 200 invitation cards. about 20 pcs will do for your esteemed guests, the rest can be invited electronically 5. Please , please and please, do not waste money on plenty 5 step cake and a bejeweled bouquet, or even expensive bridal shoes. You will have no need them after that day 6. You do not need emblazoned souvenir bags, there are plenty plastic souvenirs sold for 100 naira each. 7. You do not need to collect photobook ooooo. Many photographers use that to scam couples . What I did during my wedding was that I hired 2 cameras video and photo (5D) for 2 days at 15k each per day. I gave a relative to take pics and he put the soft copies in a flash for me. everything for trad and white cost 70k and i Had great quality pics. I did the photobook and two frames at a later date when we had recovered small and it was way cheaper doing it myself. 8. Please do not serve alcohol at ur wedding if you want to cut cost.
If the 500k is for only wedding ceremony then you do not have wahala. Just ensure you and your bride are on the same page and she knows exactly how much you have to spend.
Phi001: You can survive a lightning strike...It's rare but people survive it.
You are right though. Thunder is just a sonic boom. However, "thunder fire you" sounds more intimidating than "lightning fire you"...prolly because all mythologies associated it with power.
From Zeus/Jupiter to Thor to Sango to Amadioha...all are gods of thunder even though it's actually lightning they strike with...
Yes there are survivors but with severe injury...no one get struck by lightning and remain the same after...about 10% to 30% die from lightning strike while the rest live with a severe injuries.....
DickDastardLION: Have you seen the video of Sergent Rogers admitting assasinating abiola's wife? Well, same sergent rogers now a free man roaming the streets of Nigeria today. Don't let your emotions rock you so much. i am not a kid anymore. Worse things has happened in this shithole called Nigeria. l have only learnt to mind my God and my immediate family till i bid mother earth good bye. Biafra or One nigeria? i choose good living
I have been trying to adopt this style of living for years now but it's not being easy for....if anyone is looking for justice in this shit hole as u called it,that person is super delusional..I only manage not to be inundated for while before the injustice smack me in the face again and triggers emotions.....I wish I can be stone cold hearted ford shit hole of a country
aonag: i beg to differ. the years in forex trading matters alot becasue this means that you have spent alot of time perfecting your system that works for you. someome here once said you need atleast 10,000 hour screen time to be able to know what you are doing. assuming that translate to days its over 460days of non stop screen time. lets assume you spend 6hours a day screen time, it should take you more than 3-4years perfecting the system that works for you. its safe to sat that the gentlemen you know who has spent 17years collectively in the game do not jnow what they are doing. I dont blame the gentleman in blue for being this Angry, i have also had my encounter with the person he is casting aspersions at. he once called me a kid when I showed my account information (which i have taken down). he did not understand the conversion rate with which my account was denominated. when he saw he made a mistake with that, he took that off but i had already seen it. i would strongly advice you to briddle your fingers (if there is anything as such). we all know you make your money in your own capacity but honestly, there is nothing to boast for about that. we have been there and done that in multiple folds. mind ge way you reply people although its a faceless forum but there are faces and people behind the forum. these people have emotions and it could get hurt by make unnecessary comments.

System perfection is one, psychological perfection is the other one....for those dudes spending 10years, there problem is not the system but the psychology....personally it took me more than 8 years and am still improving, and this is not that I can't read the market or have a robust systems but my psychological imbalance which was a result of my mentally abused upbringing....patching up a broken psychology could take forever sometimes....still I am grateful to forex for he has made me look into the mirror and see myself....to me forex is a journey to self realisation... We started this FTA together and sometimes when I go back to read my bragging here and on forex factory, I just laugh at my stupidity..trust me a few years from now when some of us still go back to our post, we will all be marvelled at our obvious ignorance that is if we never stop to grow... So guys there is nothing bad in bragging, being calm and being stupid....stupidity is what makes some grow while to some its their arrogance and some its humility and compassion....there is no one size fit all to all journeys of life, we have to just figure out our own way
Samcoco: Like I said, I came back because I was having bad dreams. Whenever I'm expecting money or expecting something, someone will come to my dream and collect money from me or shake my hand; and in the next day, everything and all my expectations will just scatter.
I was doing fine before travelling to abroad. I have like 5.8 million naira in my account before travelling to abroad, and the money was like 35,000 US$ then. My plan then was to go and hustle more money as I needed about 100,000$ to start an importation business. But when I decided to came back to Nigeria in 2015, my 5.8 million naira was like 15,000$ due to bad exchange. So I decided to use some of the money for landing property and use the remaining to look for visa and travel back, but since then I couldn't get visa again and the spiritual problems which made me to come back to Nigeria after spending money and going to many churches and prophets.
You are a fool before and instead of you to look within, u are still fooling yourself....whats with you lost 5.8mill blablabla I became a millionaire at 23 with above 8mill to my name, I lost everything by the time I was 24 (all this happened around 2009). Initially I thought some people were after cos of all the bad and scary dreams, dreams within dreams(ur own different even better, sebi u never begin chased by lions,hyena and bushbabies, falling inside deep pit)....after visiting plenty so called spiritualist, it dawned on me to look within, and yes I found the answer and the cause( I wanted to be a very rich and retire by age 35, and the desire was a childhood fantasy, so strong....so God or the universe or my higher self whatever u wanna call it need to groom me for my heart desire...and so boom the law of attraction came to work..to have my kind of success, I need to have the mindset to handle it)...immediately I understood this, tings begin to change, my view of the world begin to change,I became psychologically powerful and fearless. I had a background with a very horrible psychological traumatic experience ( worst self esteem, negative courage and confidence,astronomic insecurity), all these negative vibes are parallel to the mindset of the person I wanna be....so what nature was trying to do is to build those factors first and then boom my success. So bros I will advice you to look within and e!mbrace yourself, tell yourself the hard truth, every single details of your actions is important for your journey,.. If you don't do them 50years from now, u will still be moaning about your problems.learn what spirituality truly means and u will see the result....however this journey is not for the fainthearted Good luck in your search for solution but you should know that there are no shortcuts in life

The young boy who also claimed to be robber - has been taken off the streets and is undergoing rehabilitation.
Terkimbi01: What is your suggested solution to cure Nigeria from her deadly deceases?
How can we live together with people are bent on wiping us out? Just come to Benue state and see things for yourself.
Breaking the country won't work, patching the country on as it has been before still won't work,why? Because hatred, corruptioin,tribalism,nepotism, and sycophancy have penetrated the very fabric of our being that it is even visible within the smallest of the small minorities. If Nigeria should break or restructure today, the problem will still resurface because we have allowed the hatred to penetrate us so much that offa people in Ilorin don't wanna associate with Ilorin people... Our best time for breakup or restructuring was long gone(maybe 1960s), not now again...the country cannot be savaged with any of the methods we brandished about.
If the country or the breakup parts should ever have a chance at development we so much craved for, something drastic need to happen to our collective psyche that cause a paradigm shift in our thinking and attitude (something like a famine or war that will erase like 40% of our population), and those left will av a best chance at starting again....any other thinking or perceived solution is utopic... I know some will see my opinions as stupid or crazy or even childish but 20years from now we shall see..the only mistake I made in my life was my ignorance of not leaving the country when I had the money and the chance cos I so much believe in the country and its people but now I know better
1 tea spoon of honey and 1 tea spoon of sugar and squeeze fresh lemon on top. Mix it all and apply it to your face and rub it in gently. The sugar works as exfoliating and the lemon and honey disinfect the skin. Let it dry and wash it off.
Next:
Mix honey, natural yogurt and porridge in a bowl and apply to face and let it dry. Mixture should be paste like so keep adding the porridge to firm the mixture. Do this every other day and enjoy soft, smooth, and glowing skin.
I saw the results within 2 days and my face hasn't gone back to dry and rashes since. You could stop using it for weeks after and your skin will still be beautiful and when you notice it coming back just do it again.

AdoraAmadi: She shared photos with Ogbonna and their kids last week and [b]also thanked him [/b]when he posted a below of their son in the hospital few days ago. She wrote; “Thanks Christopher,God bless you always”
sarrki: he will disappoint me and betray the trust I have in him, that of my wife and my gateman who wanted GEJ but threatened by me to vote him.
So u vetoed your wife and gateman to vote against their conscience and against there democratic will??where then is the difference between u and pmb and dictators cos it shows that u don't believe in democratic process cos u are not even following it ur house. Am really disappointed in you....people can now see that its true that in every democracy people get the government they deserve
You are right but would u typed this same thing for Gej or any other leader u loathewhenever I see ur rant on gej it wasn't constructive at all so bros pls practice what u preach and don't be a hypocrite..am sure u can do better....leaders are selected from among us and they can only be a reflection of who we truly are as people, if they are good that means we are good
Abagworo: Had it been the 2015 elections in Rivers State was rightfully cancelled APC wouldn't have so much upper hand as they do today. When that judgement was passed a thread was opened on Nairaland on why opposition should be worried. The worst of all is the recent uncovering of PDP exploits in supreme court. Based on law of Karma APC has every right to do ten times worse in revenge.
Which means there is no change and we are all the same cos when the bottom change next they will now do 20times what u do and the cycle continues.so pls tell where is the change and how are u better than them cos it means are worse going by Ur assertion..I fear for this country
However Wike is not ready to allow democracy work because of his PDP win-at-all-cost and winner-takes-all orientation. Rivers citizens are the worst hit but they are yet to realise that, because most hate Buhari. So any anti-Amaechi sentiment is fine.
This is why, sometimes, you wish someone will pay him back with his own coin. Not sure Buhari is the type the that will put him where he belongs though.
So now its only woke and amechi is d saint..una thinking mentality is warped and it makes me more sad
Abagworo: Based on facts I've seen on ground and excellent manipulation and outsmarting of PDP by APC I once again create this thread for the outsmarted ones to cry out their pains. The world is a cycle and everything is turn by turn. Congratulations Senator Magnus Abe.
So its not about positive change but turn by turn This is just sad coming from u

domDva: THE ABURI ACCORD THAT WOULD HAVE SAVED NIGERIA FROM ALL HER PROBLEMS...( but aborted by the Fulani Oligarchy)
By FEMI ADESINA( current spokesperson to President Buhari)
In December 2009, I was at Aburi, while holidaying in Ghana. We Nigerians call it A-b-u-r-i, but the Ghanaians pronounce it as E-b-r-i. For those who have read widely about the civil war that we fought between 1967 and 1970, Aburi is a significant place. This was what I wrote about Aburi, after returning from that journey:
“Aburi. Beautiful, serene Aburi, set daintily atop a hill. It is home to a botanical garden that is 119 years old. But for us in Nigeria, Aburi goes beyond just nature and its preservation. It is the town where General Yakubu Gowon and Odumegwu Ojukwu met, to try and avert the Nigerian Civil War that lasted between 1967 and 1970. They came out with Aburi Accord, which later broke down. And a shooting war started. You could see the Presidential Lodge on a hill, where the Nigerian leaders had parleyed at the behest of Ghanaian leaders. It all ended in futility.”
As one of the key parties to the Aburi Accord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, returns to mother earth today, it is also apposite to return to Aburi, and look at the letter and the spirit of the accord once again, an agreement that was violated by the Federal side, and which made a bloody internecine war inevitable.
For most part of 1966, the northern part of Nigeria, particularly, had been turned to killing fields. Non-natives, especially Igbos, were killed in thousands. Many fled, many others were displaced. There was complete anarchy in the land. The average Igbo looked up to Lt. Col Odumegwu Ojukwu, military governor of the Eastern Region, to provide leadership and direction. He did not fail. He picked the gauntlet and championed the cause of his people.
By January 1967, the drums of war were loud and clear, reverberating across the length and breadth of Nigeria. But there was a last ditch effort to prevent what was imminent. There was a peace meeting hosted at Aburi, in Ghana, by the then Ghanaian head of state, Gen J. A. Ankrah. At the meeting were Gowon, Ojukwu, all the military governors of the regions, and some top civil servants, both from the Federal side and the Eastern region. The meeting held on January 4 and 5, 1967, and came out with what is popularly known today as the Aburi Accord. The agenda of the meeting consisted of three crucial issues: (i) Reorganization of the Armed Forces (ii) Constitutional agreement (iii) Issues of displaced persons within Nigeria.
The two-day meeting reached consensus that were acceptable to both sides. Among others, it was resolved that legislative and executive authority of the Federal Military Government was to remain in the Supreme Military Council (SMC), to which any decision affecting the whole country shall be referred for determination provided it is possible for a meeting to be held, and the matter requiring determination must be referred to military governors for their comment and concurrence. What does this mean in simple language? The SMC would run the affairs of the country, but not without consulting the regions as represented by the military governors. This was something akin to federalism, even under a military government.
Other terms of the agreement include that appointments to senior ranks in the police, diplomatic and consular services as well as appointment to superscale posts in the federal civil service and the equivalent posts in the statutory corporations must be approved by the SMC. What does this mean again in simple language? Equity, fairness, true federalism.
Other matters like the holding of an ad hoc constitutional conference, fate of soldiers involved in the January 15, 1966 coup, rehabilitation of displaced persons, etc, were also amicably resolved, and the conferees returned happily to Nigeria. Only for the Federal side to deliver a blow to the solar plexus: the Aburi Accord, Gowon said, was unworkable, and he reneged on all the agreements.
Using the Eastern Nigerian Broadcasting Service, Ojukwu played the tape recording of the proceedings at Aburi repeatedly, to educate the populace on who was playing Judas. Later, he made a broadcast in which he said: “we in the East are anxious to see that our differences are resolved by peaceful means and that Nigeria is preserved as a unit, but it is doubtful, and the world must judge whether Lt. Col Gowon’s attitudes and other exhibitions of his insincerity are something which can lead to a return of normalcy and confidence in the country.
“I must warn all Easterners once again to remain vigilant. The East will never be intimidated, nor will she acquiesce to any form of dictation. It is not our intention to play the aggressor. Nonetheless, it is not our intention to be slaughtered in our beds. We are ready to defend our homeland.” In a piece I did last December, shortly after Ojukwu passed away, I said he was virtually pushed into war by the infidelity of the Federal side to the Aburi Accord. I still stand by that position. Ojukwu was called ‘warlord’ for many decades, but he was by no means a warmonger. He only did what he needed to do for his people–and for the country.[i][/i]
As his earthly remains are interred today, it is tragic that Nigeria is still submerged in the morass that Ojukwu already identified about 45 years ago. Today, bombs go off like firecrackers in the country. There is agitation for the review of the revenue allocation formula. There are strident calls for the convocation of a sovereign national conference. Even some component parts are threatening to pull out of the federation if anything happened to their ‘son’ who is now in power. Didn’t Ojukwu warn of these landmines ahead? Were all these issues not already settled at Aburi?
Foremost journalist and media administrator, Akogun Tola Adeniyi, in a recent media interview, explained the Aburi Accord this way: “Let every region be semi-autonomous and develop at its own level.” Yes, that was the spirit and letter of Aburi, but which sadly became a road not taken. And is that not why we are still suffering today, living in a rickety and decrepit country that can burst at the seams any moment? I tell you, Ojukwu was a prophet, and like most prophets, he had no honour in his own country. Pity. But whether we like it or not, there’s no way we won’t return to Aburi. Willy-nilly. I only hope it will be sooner than later, before Nigeria goes to grief. On Aburi I stand.
Federal Government was perfidious and duplicitous on Aburi. It is still the same way today. That is why as Nigerians, we are most times disillusioned, dismayed, dispirited, dejected and depressed. When will change come to this land? Our hearts are getting weary. Last December, I wrote that Ojukwu should be buried like a hero. I’m glad at the rites of passage so far, culminating in the interment today. Yes, bury him like a true hero. An icon, an avatar, deserves no less. This generation will surely not see another like Ojukwu. He fought not only for his own people, but for a true federation founded on justice, fair play, equity and rectitude. Unfortunately, he did not see the Nigeria of his dreams. Will we? Adieu the Ikemba, the Eze Igbo Gburugburu. May your soul rest in peace. Ka nkpur’obi gi zue ike n’adukwa.
