Good morning all,

I will make this short and brief. I have work in a school for 10years now. I started working there with a salary of 8k up till 20k. I now have a wife with 2kids. The salary was not taking care of us again. And I was left in taking loan. But in any academic session ie 1st, 2nd, 3rd term, apart from my salary I do see up to 100k or more base on tips and other deals.

I resigned February and I got a new job of 45k. Now my former job is calling me to come back, that I will be given 30k.. maybe when more pupils come my salary will be increase..

Former job
* I go by 7.30 and close by 3.30 and have time with my family
* Trekable from my house, I don't pay t.p.
* I enjoyed public holidays and mid term break
* I don't go on Saturday, still have time with my family
* Tips and pension available

New job
* I go by 7:30 and close by lastest 7:30 or 8 no time for my family
* I pay 400 to and fro
* I work on Saturdays no time for my family
* No tips anywhere.. just your salary and you will be subcharge for any wrong posting.

I have 1 week to decide... Please help coz I am confused.

Oh!! So it is ghosts that do d killings right?

And when asked to provide one proof of all these allegations, you will only have your mouth, same as others

Unfortunately, anyone with a mouth can make any allegation

You are just a clown.. non spiritual mind control- what does that mean?
Drugs-- hav u seen drugs keep one static, standing
.- does it not make one unstable or totally take u out, lying on the floor?

Krak:
Any small thing in Africa is considered spiritual or juju. Africans always think in one certain predictable way.

Did it occur to anyone that the guy may possibly be on drugs or some other form of non-spiritual mind control?

And what makes u so sure,the N400bn saved would not be going to another person's pockets?

All this last minute debate won't help Sanwuolu. There was a call for debate, why did he japa? Oh, he thought Lagos was a walk over for APC until LP reset his brains.

Sanwuolu is a goner.
GRV has one assignment, just plug off the N57 billions being siphoned monthly from Lagos effective June 1, 2023. With that alone, Lagos will be richer by N400Billion in 2023.

Who will then marry you or your daughter?
Or you don't want grandchildren?

Candidlady:
lagos home of thugs thiefs and tinubus

you have a boy child kindly abort that thing.. they bring nothing to this world of ours

So that's what you are right?

Have u not observed politics long enough to know it is not about party? Other parties have won governorship in other states- was there a clear difference? We are rooting for Obi not the Labour party pls. Individual over party

Goddyrichie:
for ur information I don’t support any political parties and I’m not an ibo guy b4 una talk say LP na Igbo get ham but let look at it since apc and PDP Don Dey rule us what development that come out from this country what achievement why can’t we try another party and see instead of us to do that we scatter it because of tribalism and religion that’s really really bad and sad in this country

People should note however that voting specifically for LP for governorship/HOA does not guarantee improved goverance. All politicians are the same... only few like Obi are different.. Obi is d person being rooted for not LP as a whole.. so let's be cautious and not repeat d 2015 Jonathan- buhari fiasco for the states.

While your south analysis is quite reasonable, ur problem is d North. Tinubu cannot do half as good in the North (W&E). Forget about d governors. The core north is btw atiku & Kwankwaso with atiku having d major advantage.
Even d north central favors Atiku & òbí more.
It's likely an Atiku win on the first ballot.

U must be a teenager for you not to know that is possible and OBJ did such in Plateau in 2004 & Ekiti in 2006

Carlyboi:
Oh!you think your president is that powerful?remove a sitting democratically elected governor just like that?lol!just Dey play.

My own question is it the same FG controlled police they are using to clamp down shops in their states?
So it shows on another note some of the issues with having state police

.

Pods

What a clownish statement-This is d buhari u voted for.. Of course d buhari u voted for has been showing himself ever since with nepotism, indolence, dogmatism etc
Hw can u be so wicked at heart as to support a policy that seems to have 1 benefit but will cause a lot if crises in d economy?
Does it make sense to profer 1 solution and add 10 problems?

polari:
Let them cry me a River.

The scarcity of the new Naira Notes is all part of the plan. So the criminals don't start storing them up in place of the new Naira Notes.

Guys please my appeal, please Deposit all your Old Nairaland note into your Account via the POS and pipe low for now until after the Deadline.

Let the enemies of this country bring out all the Notes they have stored up in their GP Tanks and Underground.

Guys make no mistake. This is the Buhari you Voted for in 2015.

Better late than Never

As for marriage issues, I think sticking to biblical marriage precepts is what will help us.

For children stress, I can assure you, I haven't seen a woman who is unhappy or regrets giving birth. It is always joy even for those born out of wedlock at a young age.
The joy of having children far outweighs the stress.

EriMma1:
This may sound weird but it's my situation now.

I have been a single and independent lady for a very long time. Though I really looked forward to settling down in my 20s and thirties but because I was the over careful type, I couldn't as I kept being picky due to men's character and behavior.

Fast-forward to my lat 30s, I began to lose interest and started getting more comfortable as a single. The upheavals in today's marriage also got to me. As in the way marriages are packing up, the cheating aspect, abuse and domestic violence in marriages all further affected me and changed my whole perception of the union called marriage. So I unconsciously resolved to remain single as long as I'm happy, comfortable and financially independent.

Some of the reasons I also made up my mind are.
As a single, Im very much at peace, with no one dictating what and when I should do things or get out of bed. I love my bed.
No one is body shaming me when I add on some pounds due to excessive eating and no one is questioning my eating habits as its sometimes the case with some married women. Also running errands when you don't feel up to it just because hubby wants you to do it. Some men can send their wife on errand like crazy and me I hate running errands.

No one is disturbing me when I need time alone which could last for hours. I love my space and privacy. So the thought of having to give up all that scares the hell out of me.

Now, back to the matter.

Recently, some close spiritual leaders in my denomination have been trying to match make me with a single pastor and that one too is shining teeth that he has seen a jimjim sister. When they now openly mentioned it yesterday with the said man around and he too was nodding and agreeing to the proposal, it dawned on me that these people are not joking. When I got home, i sank into my comfy space and began to fret. I mean... The thought of giving up all that freedom is just so scary. I suddenly discovered that marriage no longer excites me and my inner self was fighting it.
Also, the thought of carrying pregnancy for nine months with all the stress of looking after babies, tending toddlers ( poo poo) and that motherhood life made me sick instantly. The thought of joggling my job with family life gave me the chills. I see how my married mates struggle with this. Huh. Men...

I don't know. I don't feel cool about this cos it makes me feel like I'm about to be put in a cage and everything about me is going to change.

Now, before you talk about me not loving the man, I think I fancy him and can love him cos he looks so much like my ex of years ago. So that is out of the question. He is a happening lovable man but....... I no longer feel excited about marriage. at least, from what played out yesterday.

Do I need any form of therapy cos my family won't hear of it but this is my situation now ooo... Hmmm

Despicable human being ke -- nah ur younger ones u abuse finish like this

bluefilm:
I don already wash my hands off comot anything that has to do with Gen Z people.

Because those Gen Z are the worst, the laziest, the most myopic, the most uninformed, the most entitled and the most despicable sets of human beings to ever grace this planet.

It's really a pity.

Are u a joker? Engineering is gud esp mechanical.
All u need to do is to pick up.an IT skill alongside.
Hw can u leave engineering and go back to 100L radiography? How?!!

Will u try and be rational for once?
How can u compare net importers of crude oil to us a net exporter of crude? Check other net exporters of crude, they are having a windfall, an increased growth in their economies-- those are the ones we should compare with.
U should try to put things in their proper perspectives

Inflation in Ghana is over 50% now, that's the Buhari effect

UK inflation is 25 Years high. The Buhari effect

Japan's inflation has jumped to its highest level since 1981. The Buhari Effect.

Some of you dont even know that there is global crisis.

Everything is Buhari

Like honestly, I do wonder about your last statement atimes!! Some even bath, buy clothing for d animals--- spend a lot on d pets.
Why not spend that on human beings?

wonder233:
Humans deluding themselves that they somehow have been able to alter creatures originally designed as wild by nature.
What is so effing special about animals? Let animals be. So many humans in this world needing love and attention, but no, its a fvcking animal you decide to devote attention to.

Once subsidy is removed, petrol price will only reduce based on intl oil price & exchange rate.

Between #400-#550.

Ripple effects:

Food prices will quadruple
Transport fare will quadruple

If the money saved can be deployed to power and we have like 18hrs power supply daily, gradually modular refineries and dangote refinery thrives, security improves and money is pumped into agriculture, under a yr fuel price will crash to as low as #80/liter.

With food sufficiency achieved, our economy will start waking up, smes will begin to thrive. Gradually, our lost glory as a nation will have a rebirth

About faster driving consuming less fuel-- 3 factors are involved
1. The frequency & intensity of braking
2. efficiency of the gear
3. Drag

1. Braking to a particular speed, the higher the speed you are braking from, the more ur fuel consumption will be as you lose kinetic energy each time u brake which is also higher with intensity. Braking from 120kmph to 20kmph loses more energy than braking from 80kmph to same 20kmph. So if u don't have a smooth journey ahead, don't speed too much.

2. Efficiency is best on the highest gear (5) which u can only attain at about 100km/hr.

3. Energy spent on Drag per distance increases as the increase of the square of velocity -- this makes energy spent on drag at high speeds terribly higher than that spent at low speeds--- such that even at 100km/hr on gear 5, the efficiency gains are far less compared to d extra energy spent on drag!!

Bonus: if your car is clean the drag will be slightly less than if it is very dirty(rougher surface increases drag-- this is why if u clean ur house windows and nets, ventilation feels better)

Also, using AC in hot sun at 100kmph+ is more fuel efficient than winding down (drag is much higher at high speeds)

At 40, hw old can his eldest son possibly be?
18, 21 max? And that's d person he loaded a gun and actually fired to kill. SMH

That is why I won't beat him or shout on him.
Nothing wrong in suggesting or advicing.... Left to him to determine if such is useful or not.

Pojomojo:
it's not your money

Pls quickly forget about SUVs except u just must have the SUV status or your usual route has very bad roads.

SUVs are quite expensive to maintain whenever they breakdown. Of course shocks and all will still get spoilt though at a slower rate than sedans. At d end of d day d money u spend on leg maintenance say in a yr is almost same if not more with SUVs. Consider also engine repairs, fuel consumption too.

Muscle camry is gud... Well used 2013 camry can also be gotten for that price. (Personally) that's preferable. And it is higher(ground clearance) than d muscle.

patwilly:
I enjoin all forum members to actively contribute
my budget is 4.5M
the choices I am looking at are these :

1. Toyota Rav 4, (2011) Nigerian used. A friend is actually convinced this is the car I should buy as it fits nicely in terms of prestige and functionality. However, I'm not fully convinced as per buying a Nigerian used car and also because I'm not really taken to the RAV4 as I see it as not a masculine car.

2. Toyota Camry 2011 or 2012 (muscle) : I like this car and if it falls within my budget I'd happily buy it. The only negative here is I've been wanting an SUV to be my first car considering Lagos roads etc so I'm not totally sold on the idea of getting this car.

3. Toyota Highlander full option (2007) Direct Belgium or Nigerian used: Now this is the car I I'm most taken to. However, Friends are of the opinion that it is an old car (being 2007) and is gradually being phased out. Also the fact the car does not exactly convey much in terms of prestige etc.

So that's it. I'd appreciate if forum members advice correctly on any of these three car models or recommend something else. Kindly highlight the merits/demerits of buying the foreign used or Nigerian used version of any car you'd recommend.

The attributes I'm looking out for are Functionality, ease of Maintenance, prestige/aesthetics of the car.

I appreciate you all.

What I hear you anti flogging people say is that it is ok for kids to disrespect and be unruly when you don't have this social control skills... You are saying they should grow up being allowed to disrespect those adults who cannot outsmart them. And of course not all adults will be able to.. Is that a reasonable system?

WriterX:
Actually I think this is where I belong lol, I have been teaching for years now did it in my uni even in my secondary level, came from a teaching background, I don't believe in flogging kids and all that and believe me I have taught and tutored, mentored some kids you would ask why they are not flogged lol

you just have to learn how to outsmart them young folks, I am currently at a school where we practice the preventive measure or style of education and I can say I have excelled here, patience, wisdom and a damn good manner of approach, keep your private life outside the four walls of the school, your mental health is key, kids will really f**k you up if you give them chance , you have to make sure you are the alpha when you step in that class yet lenient and understanding as a friend.

You are not a serious person ó!! U are Happy about d thought of raising your children where there is no discipline... U think kids listen to talk alone.. ? Why do u think the kids there have numerous issues of drugs, gangs, general violence , irrational behaviour & unwarranted depression?
Why do u think kids in Nigerian private schools where discipline is being relaxed are also not growing up well?
U had better be reasonable fornd sake of ur kids

SocialJustice:
Bush primitive man. I definitely want my kids being educated in the UK. What a system. This story is an indictment on the African education system.

U haven't even mentioned the 20% tax yet..

And some will completely ignore the situation described above forgetting that surviving on a 1-0-1 food regime in Nigeria is better than being insulted by kids...,
experiencing psychologically distressing situations is worse than not having all your physical needs met.

ecolime:
£28,000 per year means a 'life of slavery' or 'lifetime rat race' What can £2,300 per month in UK do for you? The suffer no be small.

However, if you are a private school teacher in Naija, you can give it a consideration. For government teachers, you are much better off here.

Excatly the point using fuel to power 5 ACs in a home is quite much... Fuel might be #400 soon.. U can easily just stay on fan and tv with a 2nd small gen(or infact a smaller solar panel of say 1.5M)and the big gen when u want to pump or put on d freezer for a while... all depends on u though.

uniquetechng:
2 ton standing AC in the sitting room, three 1hp AC
, Pumping machine and Fridge

Why do u have a gen that big? Thats a fuel guzzler... Even if all d appliances in ur house are up to 6-9kva, u could still get a smaller gen that u will be using most of d time that can power just fan and tv- u save a lot on fuel that way

uniquetechng:
I did but it was priced out of my capacity for now, they quoted 8.5m for 9.5kva solar which is way too much for me to spend on electricity at the moment.
Might consider it in the future but certainly not now , bought a Kemage 9kva generator few months ago and it's doing a wonderful job.

Thanks brother, I appreciate your kind and well thought advice.

tensazangetsu20:
It depends on how much the salary be. No be person dey earn 33k usd a month in Nigeria. Which bills wan finish the salary.

Hw many pple?
U should check if d person still has d job as most of dose type of ultra high paying online jobs are crypto firm engineering jobs... and now d industry is melting
