I remember my own experience. My babe became a chartered accountant on my bill, with daily upkeep allowance, for more than two years. She was the first among her friends to own a phone back in 2001 when GSM arrived. Ironically, it was that same phone she used to send me a breakup text.

When I confronted her, I was just smiling. I told her I already knew the end from the beginning. She asked why I still did all that for her, knowing she was playing me. I told her straight: “I was young, and I wanted to feel responsible for someone’s life.”

She thought I was her boyfriend, that’s why I agreed to a so-called platonic relationship. But truth is, I just needed company to stay focused. She thought she was fooling me, but she was only fooling herself. She cried, we both moved on. She got married years later. Me? I’m not married, but I’ve got a daughter and we’ve since relocated.

From that experience, I created some rules for men. If it goes beyond chilling or casual outings, shine your eyes. The moment you start spending on things that will break your heart when she leaves, my brother, you’re writing your own eviction notice from peace of mind.

10 Street Rules Every Man Must Know:

If she asks you to buy something that will pain you when she leaves, don’t buy it. Emotional damage is more expensive than iPhone.

If she asks for money immediately after sex, my guy, that’s not romance—that’s payroll. Respect yourself.

If she’s begging for a phone you can’t buy for your cousin, tell her to bring marriage list. At least if you spend, spend officially.

If she wants school on your bill, no wahala. But secure your legacy first—make sure she’s carrying your surname before carrying your money.

If her lifestyle is always above your salary, abeg run. You can’t finance “soft life” on minimum wage.

If she only loves you when your account is full, she’s dating your bank, not you.

If after eating your money she still introduces you as “just a friend,” downgrade her fast. Don’t be ATM with no PIN.

If she never contributes—no airtime, no shawarma, not even pure water—she’s not a partner, she’s a project.

If every outing must be in expensive spots just to prove love, my guy, heartbreak dey loading.

If you can’t proudly introduce her to your mum, sister, or pastor, keep your wallet zipped.

And that’s why I love Montreal ladies. You go out, she pays her bill, you pay yours—or you split it like civilized people. No stress. No “sponsor me” drama. If she orders lobster, she already knows she’s paying lobster money. Everybody clear, everybody happy.

You just further explained my view up there!
It is simply sense of responsibility but should be done with caution.

You see... There are things you people don't understand about life, about how a man and woman are "wired". It is not "simping", it is just how God constructed life to run.
All of you shouting Gheghe University, it is not really about that. Even a wife in your house that has bore you children can still mess you up, most especially when a man trusts too much!
A man is wired naturally to take responsibility for people around him, responsibility in terms of security, finance, health etc. How come you as a male become enraged when your mother or sister is assaulted and you are ready to die? It is that same protection instincts, same thing that will make you put your life on the line to provide for your wife, children and other dependants except when "you don't have" and "not having" too can still shorten a man's life from depression. It is just the way a man is programmed.
Some of you come here to shout Simps but you are still the same ones that buy iPhones for your girlfriends or to even convince a girl to date you.
What is not reasonable is to give all your life worth to a woman in the name of training her, only do what you can afford to. Even in physical investments or businesses there are losses.
Bottom-line is... Only do what you can afford to, so that you can easily move on (without kpaing any woman) if she doesn't turn in your favour. Women follow their hearts and hardly show gratitude, most especially when you have slept with them, they believe all is paid back even if your investment is in trillions.

Nairaland people already did justice to your situation, I have no further comments.

Obakoolex:
The only lasting solution to this country is for us to have Northern and Southern Nigeria.

Also Western and Eastern Nigeria because all 4 cannot work together, make everybody dey go him own way...

bluefilm:
This is quite strange

Was he washing normal plates or washing he washing the other plate?

He was washing palatables
Shebi you be plates FBI?

It shall not be well with this Dangote Group. If these acts are all deliberate, then he will live to see everything he has built come down before his eyes. He will become nothing in this same country.
Amen!

helinues:
Nigeria social media would buzz tomorrow. Those who got involved didn't handle the issue well.

VDM and the sister really messed up. A life was at stake and they were doing those shenanigans on social media accusing each other.

Are you doing this deliberately or it's just the way you think?
VDM has done more than is expected, he should just back down now. The Victim's sister did not follow through with their agreement to take on Dangote together, she decided to do it alone, how is that VDM's fault?
VDM already put his life on the line for this Dangote fight, I feel he has done enough. We all have the responsibility to fight collectively for our safety and wellbeing. VDM is not the only Nigerian to do all the fighting for us. He is no superman, he is just a young man with courage and good spirit.
Let's all learn to fight for what is right or we remain the way we are.

CodeTemplarr:
The painful part is not the taxes and levies but what they are used for at the end. They are used to further enslave the masses.
They do that through shell companies that execute hyper-inflated mega projects to be repaid by the masses via tolling and further taxation. Projects that dont really serve the masses but are forced down their throats. Look at that Lagos-Calabar fraud.

All the APC Slaves will never accept that that project is a monumental fraud. And I can bet anything that he won't complete that project in his tenure even if he eventually spends 8years.

I thought this was simple enough for an average person's comprehension. He has been caught to have raped a 73year old woman, this has now prompted the Care home's management to investigate over 300 women (dead and alive) that lived/live in the care home for possible for same sexual assault.
But again I wonder why any normal human being with all the measures these Oyinbo people put in place for you to scale through to get there. Only the succeed, get there and start to commit crimes instead of facing the job/hussle you went there for. But again, not everyone who appears normal is really normal. Some people have terrorism in the minds, others have rape, ritual killing, hard drugs, kidnapping, assassination, robbery, embezzlement and other crimes in theirs.

osuofia2:
You see North, they deserve what they are getting. No pity for them since they have allowed religion take central part of their brain

That's why they cannot do anything meaningful on their own. They can never make any meaningful progress cos of religious prejudices.

Egbetokun and Tinubu are a disaster super combo!
Both men are so full of themselves while they wallow in their immense failure.

WriteerNg:
Fake love.

I support Russia and Putin till NATO is completely destroyed.

There will be no peace on earth as long as the US & NATO exists.

The US and entire Europe will be buried under radioactive ash before that ever happens to Russia. Power pass power, u go soon learn.

See someone from a bandit territory they make mouth pass even Putin sef
We go see who go learn las las. People greater than Putin were brought, how much less Putin wey don dey fight Ukraine for over 3years and no victory. E go clear Russia when others follow put leg for Ukraine matter. Let's see how EU will respond first.

This one is good if it will discourage corrupt at that level. It is very good. It shouldn't just apply to Interior Ministry, it should apply to all Ministries and later, we expect to come down to cover less senior officers too gradually.

Stayingalive:
lol this is a bit misleading but what is president picture doing on anything to do with INEC. I thought INEC is independent

Every normal can read the right meaning to this, but trust some morons to still defend there's nothing wrong with it.

Putin wey all of us don dey like, don start to dey misbehave now. Na overskill dey kpai monkey o... If EU gather on top ya head, E no go funny o...
You will always over estimate yourself till you are brought down to rubbles (same as your currency).

Japa! These things are not really debatable. If your Japa is sure because risk still dey there too.
Just plan well. Housing, most especially if you will not live there in the immediate will tie down money.
Like others have said, invest. You can get a warehouse and sell daily needs (consumables, food items in cartons), supermart and several other viable businesses. Ask people for more business ideas. Pharmaceuticals etc.
Or just Japa go hustle for oyinbo land. Nigeria is fucking crazy at the moment.
Tinubu just messed up this country. He just messed up Nigerians, everywhere just rough...

600m easy money to get na him you carry gun dey do kidnapping. You for work get 600m na, make another person come ask you to pay am for ransome.
No be fault of these cheap criminals, na the country don really depreciate really bad.

Iamzik:
Speed limit is actually 80kmph but Lagos drivers no dey hear word. One was flashing me to drive faster last week but I just ignored until he got tired and decided to overtake

I detest drivers that flash. A lot of them are not fit to be drivers. And it's as if no one observes the 80km/hr speed limit on that bridge except me. May be because I drive slower vehicles
At least, I have driven a few cars through that bridge and never exceeded 90km/hr before the renovation and never exceeded 80km/hr after the renovation.
Just imagine the messy multiple crashes that occurred just a few days ago involving youth who were said to be racing home after coming from a show.
THE TRUTH IS THAT SOME OF US THE YOUTH OF NOWADAYS ARE FAR MORE USELESS THAN THE OLDER PEOPLE WE CONDEMN.
We are the ones with tattoos all over the body, with rings and chains everywhere, saggy trousers with dirty underwears showing, unkept hairstyles, badly behaved crop of youth we have become. And we are the same ones that want to take this country to greatness? Even the elderly ones that got us here were even far more disciplined and we got here. I just wonder how far we will go from here with all these indiscipline.

This is where I hate Government agencies and why it will take more than the ordinary for Nigeria to attain "greatness".
The first news that broke, says the incident happened very early 2-3am. By 6am the lady's relatives were on their way to the accident site. Body was only recovered at 3pm by local fishermen who collected N400,000 from the father of the victim before they could go into the waters.
But this useless LASWA or whatever they are called are saying they responded swiftly as if they were the ones who did the job. Is this how we want to develop this country?
Is this how the developed countries attained by growth, by lying their way to the top.

His biology is far better than his English. He must have loved Biology. I suspect a drug-related issue here.
I used to have a friend in secondary school back then, he was the only student with all his notes intact, his clothes always neat, he reads above every other person and was really doing so well but never graduated with us. Somewhere along the line, he went into drugs and lost it all.
This life is so delicate that once you miss a step, you may never recover from it again, but we often forget this alot in our day-to-day quest for survival and for success.

I just don't believe this news considering the messy rot in the Nigerian Army and how their generals are being prosecuted from fraud, corruption, diversions and all sorts.
These weapons don't look Nigeria-made. The real truth will soon come out.
The Nigeria Army also needs serious sanitization.

dammyco:
Na shame make her kill herself o. If no be shame she won't think of abor not to talk of abortion

No be only shame. Some useless guys that approach ladies with the ulterior aim of sex and without sense of responsibility are also a good cause.

I think we really need to sit down once more with the so-called British people who founded Nigeria to investigate properly how it came to be.
From all indications, Nigeria shouldn't have been one entity comprising of North, West and Eastern regions. That merger has not worked till today, we are only forcing it for undue marginalisation and selfish gains.
I strongly believe Nigeria needs proper re-structuring. Nigeria will not work with the way it is currently constituted. I will continue to say it.

Kushites:
Why? What is the point of that?

It’s very unhealthy for a university student in their prime to be isolated from the other gender. How do they learn how to relate?

After they leave university?

Another question.... Is the motive really for education? Female-only University! Sounds absurd and uneducational.
Very soon now, we will have male-only University, for what? Na cult group?
The way we are going... Na we go take our hands end this world las las.

alphaconde:
Make dem no sack that painter, nothing hard APC do

Why can't I just smile in peace, must it always be 40 characters? Nairaland just want us to be engaging by force. Let's be simple and flexible abeg

okosodo:
Na only thief these military generals dey thief for thier existence as generals

That's why there is insecurity everywhere. When you see them running around the roads with siren, you will think they are going to work. They all steal. And a stealing entity cannot function well no matter what.

pocohantas:
Sometimes you wonder what people think marriage is. Almost like they want everyone to have an opinion or drag their spouses at every turn. Why follow in the first place? Don't stress yourself following your spouses if you are a public figure.

Even me than am a nobody sef no dey get time for all those things. I don't follow my wife on any social media.

You see, when tragedy befalls some Nigerians, just know they are the architect of their own tribulations in life.
Someone raised an alarm over a perceived security threat, he called on all security agencies to come to their rescue. If it later turned out not to be what he reported, I feel he still deserves praise and commendations for being proactive. Not everyone will see such and report. A lot of people just care of about their personal lives alone and may be their families, others can go and die for all they care.
You don't come out to start condemning such a person, calling him a liar. This is very shameful and regrettable. Soon their will be an incident, when no one reports, then you will read reports of massive casualties....
The security agencies are not doing enough, they need to be prompted, reported, called out, criticised and encouraged where necessary until things become okay again.

shadrach77:
Of course he is a content creator; not different from Peller. If you believe VDM is an activist you need your head examined

Says a man who is still trying to figure out his purpose in life.

WhizdomXX:
Insiders in the banks are usually behind those missing funds.

It is not insiders. It is the bank gangan. GTbank now directly steals money from customers accounts without any reasonable explanations. They set me back for over 200k, I abandoned the account after 96,000 was debited. No SMS alert, no e-mail alert, no OTP nothing! All they claimed was some bogus card transaction that was not in the transaction history sef.
What kind of madness is this? Why are Nigerians like this?
Everybody is a thief! Insurance companies, banks, pensions, state Government, local, Federal, Police, everybody...

ROTTWEILER007:
I believe C will die first. If E pushes the stone down the slope, there’s a very high chance (about 99.9%) that the gap in the stone will align with D’s head as it rolls, causing it to land on the crowbar (acting as the effort). The sharp edges under the crowbar would then fatally injure C. However, if the gap doesn’t align, the stone would roll over D’s head, pushing D back into the hole.

How you take measure your 99.9%
If your assessment is right, then the stone stops on his head because it's a flat surface there and the gap has sharp and equal edges that will balance out. It stops there.
