There are high and low times in life and if everyone of us post our downtimes on the internet there will only be doom and gloom. At 3 years after graduation, sincerely, I don't think wealth acquisition should be your priority. You should be under mentorship on your way to mastering a skill, building the right network and improving your communication skills and soft but powerful skills of loyalty, integrity and attention to details.

Even though, he had been controversial and unpopular, he shouldn't have been killed! I actually blame this incident on the wife. Sometimes, women are emotional and partial in their judgements - Someone packed out of your house and demanded his 2months rent back, he should have just been refunded. This is where some women do not deserve to be listened to or considered in making certain decisions that needed to be made solely as a man. Avoid trouble as much as you can, most especially where you don't stand a chance. We don't any police is this country, they have all become Touts extorting money from motorists on our roads. While the DSS are only useful for scoring political points. |

Romance › Re: I Am In Love With A Married Woman Who Runs A Spa In Lekki by Berankis: 6:51pm On Nov 24, 2021 |
LoverJoe89: Dear NLs,
I need help with my predicament. I just discovered a lounge where I normally hang out to watch sports and chill. Apparently the lounge also has a Spa that is managed by this beautiful married lady who is a mother of 3 children that are in University and one in final year of secondary school. I started crushing on this woman for some time now and I cant seem to take my mind of her. She is a tall, dark stallion with nice hips, ass and a very sweet voice.
We got talking the moment I went to her Spa to make some inquiries about her spa services and whether she runs home service as well. Along the line, she gave me her contact details and we have been chatting frequently. The thing is that I am madly in love with her but I don't know how to express my feelings and desires towards her.
I don't intend snatching her from her husband but I just want to have a romantic relationship with her but don't know how I will go about it.
I am a graduate in my mid 20s from Leed City University Ibadan with a degree in Engineering. I don't usually have issues in getting women but this has posed much of a challenge to me because I am deeply in love with a married woman.
Thoughts of her sometimes drives me to masturbation and it's driving me nuts. Please I need help on this matter. Your post is just a silly one. You don't really have any problem and then you just want to create one for yourself. I thought a graduate is supposed to be planning his independence and not falling in love with a married woman. You are just simply foolish and may be jobless. |

Properties › Re: Please Help, Landlady Has Taken My Anger To Another Level. by Berankis: 3:59pm On Sep 27, 2021 |
Nononsenseguy: Good day all, hope your day is going well.
I'll go straight to the point. I rented a 2 bedroom flat for my mum last year October, paid agent and lawyer fees, the agent never told me the place has the landlady living in it.
My mum was happy and moved into the apartment, I noticed that after some months she was complaining about the house, I finally went there to see her, guess what? The landlady is a devil in human form, she's an unmarried bitter human who was opportuned to inherit the building from her family. This woman locked the well and told my mum and younger bro to source for water elsewhere, I was mad when I got to hear what she's making my family go through. I came to the house and removed the padlock she locked the well with, she called my mom and told her to pack out when her rent expires next week.
Well, since she thinks the world revolves around her and wants everyone to fear and worship her, I'll show her what real madness is.
I have decided to ask her for a refund of the agent and lawyer fees I paid since it's barely one year, she can't stress my family this way and get away with it.
To everyone reading this, I have one advice, never live in the same building with the landlord or you would have yourself to blame at the end of the day.
Please nairalanders, Is my action justified? Even though, I don't like to because I am very stubborn but I currently do and it's not so bad. Guess I am a bit lucky |

Politics › Re: What I Noticed Today When I Observed Public Waste Bin In Less Than One Hour by Berankis: 7:29pm On Sep 18, 2021 |
PlanToSucceed: What I noticed when I observed public waste bin in less than one hour.
Witnessing the unfortunate situation today reminds of palliatives looting from various warehouses during #EndSARS last year and Lai Mohammed and Femi Adeshina later came out to say even though Nigerians were seen scampering for food items does not mean any Nigerians are eating from the waste bin. Today, I have a proof for them and their APC government.
So I left house this morning to meet someone who had promised to link me up with someone who can help my unemployed status. Having reached the place early enough, I called to notify but I was told to hang on there and I found a place and sat down.
Looking around, I noticed a public waste bin and in no time, condemned iron pickers with their truck entered the place and ransacked everywhere in search for iron and other condemned household items. While they were still there, some kids presumably homeless joined them in search for rotten food. I could see them picking things from the bin and directly into their mouths and until no other to pick again before they left. Just as though the bin has regained its freedom from the attack of the street urchins, immediately, I saw an elderly woman ransacking the same bin in search for woods presumably to be used as firewood (a kg of cooking gas now is N600 and Kerosene N450). While she was still trying to pick her interest, a man with wheelbarrow pushed into the place with a heap of cartons/paper materials. He parked and ransacked the same bin for cartons and any paper material thing. He greeted the elderly woman and they both had conversation which I really didn't know what they discussed before they finally left together.
As all these were happening, I had no choice than to still wait for "my helper". Before I knew, another set of women came to visit the same bin. These ones, their interest was on plastic bottles and nylon/waterproof materials. They picked as much was available before they left.
Not long from then, a new visitor to the bin was another child in search for rotten food not knowing early birds have already taken all that were available. I felt so bad and disturbing seeing what was going on there so I was eager to leave the place. Just then, the person called me that I should be going back to my house that the appointment can no longer hold today.
As I made move to pass the bin, the underage greeted me and added "Oga abeg help me with N50 make I take buy something chop". I felt pity for him. This boy is too young for this. Ideally, he should be under the care of his parents. Anyways, even though I was left with only my transport fare, I couldn't pass and I gave him N200.
Wow!!! Honestly I left the place very disappointed and broken down physically and mentally.
Disappointed due to the cancelled appointment and mental breakdown due to the gory site of where some Nigerians now resort to sourcing for means livelihood. Indeed, IMO, this country is a terrible place. It's structured to favour very few and that is why we are still the way we are today and until normalcy and sanity is forcefully returned by eliminating those who have spoilt and reduced the country to this mockery stage, I see no changes where some Nigerians would not have to sleep with empty stomach and start a new day by picking things from waste bins while others spend public funds sleeping in world best hotels in and outside the country.
As I'm typing this, I can't tell how many other persons have continued to visit the same waste bin afterwards and other waste bins in search for source of survival. Rather, this has forced me to ask myself, is this the dream of the founding fathers of Nigeria? Unemployment? Poverty? Frustration? Sourcing livelihood from thrash bins?
I rest my case!!!

Family › Re: My Mum's Constant Insult Is Driving Me Crazy, It Is Time To Move Out? by Berankis: 4:26pm On Sep 14, 2021 |
Juliusdaughter: Let me just start somewhere  Growing up as an introvert was difficult cos I guess my mum didn't understand my quite personality, she talks about how I am not 'sharp' how I am not fashionable and whatever else she cannot really relate to. I am in my mid 20s now and she still insults me when she is in the mood. It's funny how I am the only child she insults so much, I am her first born. I left my former work place due to Corona last year and I've been home since. I have trained as a tailor tho I don't have a shop or customer base yet.
She insulted me tonight again for cooking dinner late, she said why should I finish cooking dinner by past 7? Called me names and all that. Its been over a year that she went to the market last because I now do that, I make breakfast and dinner, I don't keep late night, I barely go out, yet she finds reason to talk me down.
She has started to insult my fiancé now too, she says he is poor and cannot take care of me, what has he achieved for himself? And the reason she isn't much against us is because she doesn't know if he will have money tomorrow. He isn't even jobless, it's just unfortunate that government don't pay their workers on time.
I don't have a single emotional connection with her, I have tried and I have failed. I think it's time to move out of the house and start my tailoring business. I don't have the finance to rent a shop and a house separately, so I want to rent a room and parlor and make it both my living and work space. Is this a good move? I cannot function properly in this house anymore. How do I build my customer base from working in the house? Don't move out yet, you will move out graciously in due course. Bear it with her a little more for now, the reason is because - in life we don't have comfortable all the time but we have to live with some discomfort too. |

Family › Re: My Experience Adopting A Child In Nigeria As A Young Guy by Berankis: 3:26pm On Sep 09, 2021 |
TMTR:
Hello, good day ,
https://www.nairaland.com/4538476/want-adopt-child
y'all remember the thread I created back in 2018 ,well I did succeed adopting a child, I adopted her from a orphanage and I will say my experience during the process of adopting her was really difficult than I Imagined, first I was a single young guy not even in my mid twenties yet and I had tattoos and lil tjay and lil baby kind of hair styles (those familiar with them will know the kind of hair style I am talking about ) oh mhen the stereotyping was off the roof, what did they not say, is it been called a ritualist , mhen I was suffered by the abusive words that was unleashed on me by all those women but I didn't relent and finally after everything I succeeded,
At one point , I wanted to go with my mum at least to show that I had no ulterior motive but then again I thought to myself, you can do this on your own and I am glad I overcame.
I began the process in mid 2018 and it was not until it late 2018 that my application was granted, I then proceeded with the rest formalities and I took my daughter home, she was 3 when I adopted her .
The first thing I did when we got home was to change her wardrobe, I took her shopping and bought two big boxes filled with clothes and shoes, also bought some female toys and other stuffs.
She was shy at first around me but with time ,she got used to me and became more free with me.
Mehn I must say so far adopting her was one of the best decision I have ever made in my life , I even tattooed her name on my arm, made me more responble in a way 
And also in addition, chicks dig babies, like babies are like ladies' magnet. I never believe those statements to be true till I got my baby, like mehn you need to see the attention I get because of her, I mean we get because of her.
Don't get me wrong, ladies trip and drool over me before she came into my life but the amount of attention I get before her more than doubled . Before y'all start thinking this is the major reason I am happy I adopted her , let it be known that this is the least reason why I am happy..
All-in all she is God's blessings to me and I bless the day that I made the decision in adopting her.
She is such an Angel and a darling
I love her so much
Fatherhood is sweet There are still a few people who make life worth living. Thank you! |

Family › Re: Help! An Unwanted Pregnancy Is Ruining My Life. by Berankis: 6:37am On Jul 25, 2021 |
Priceless007: Hello Nairalanders,
It's a long story, but I'll try to keep it short and to the vital points. Please endure the length.
There's a girl i met at a theological college in where I was studying to become a clergyman and also learning a skill under the civil engineering department of the college. She was my junior in the course, as I was a year away from graduating from my first course, while she was just a fresher. She was always having issues getting through her courses and projects and would always ask for my assistance since I was the course rep in that department. It was forbidden to have any intimate relationship with your course mate or anyone in the college for that matter, the penalty would be expulsion. But unfortunately for me, out of sheer lust and seduction on her part, and gross indiscipline and lack of self control on my part, I got intimate with her and we ended up committing fornication during one of our semester vacations. And it just happened once, of which out of deep regret and remorse I confessed the matter to the college Admin when the next semester resumed. We were panelled, after which I was suspended, while she was expelled.
During this time I was learning a skill sponsored by the college, of which I use to get paid some weekly stipend. After I was suspended I was also stopped from continuing my apprenticeship, because I was not to associate with any of the students or lecturers in the school while my suspension lasted. So I was without a job and without a source of income since I wasn't yet mastered on the skill. The condition that was given to me to resume my studies and apprenticeship was that I should go and get married before I could come back to college, so as not to be tempted to repeat my error. But I wasn't ready for marriage whether financially or any other wise for that matter. So while I was contemplating my next move, this girl came to me that she was pregnant, that she needed us to go and see her parents. I told her I had no money neither was I ready to father a child at this point in my life. I pleaded she should give me time to think about what next to do. Two weeks passed, and I called her to enquire about her welfare but her number wasn't reachable, I decided to go to her place, but I was told she had travelled a week ago to go see her family. A week later, I received a call from a woman telling me she was the girl's mother, that her daughter came home with a pregnancy, and she asked me if I was responsible for the pregnancy, I answered her in the affirmative. She then asked when I was coming to see her family. I told her I wasn't sure about coming to see them that I needed to speak to the girl first. She said okay, then later that day the girl called me, and I told her to come back for us to talk deliberate on the way forward. When she came she told me her parents (who are by the way divorced) will not accept her nor the pregnancy without me coming to see them for marriage arrangements.
I explained to her I wasn't ready for any such thing, that I have a calling to answer and a course to finish, that what happened between us was just a stupid and careless mistake that has been as a setback for me to achieve my goal, and that I was ready to overcome the trials and get back on track, and I explained to her that before then I had neither dated nor been intimate with anyone for over seven years, and so any kind of relationship or marriage was not even in my nearest future plans, and besides, I didn't even have a job, not to mention having enough money to embark on a marriage plan. She said she would never accept such excuse, that I should look for whatever means to make sure I come see her parents before her pregnancy becomes obvious. She also said that she needed money to move her belongings back to Imo state where her family resides. I agreed to raise some money for her. I went to do some menial jobs and raised some money, about ₦20k, which I gave to her and she traveled back to Owerri. From then on her parents kept calling and pressuring me to come and see them for marriage arrangements. I told them I was going to come, but just to introduce myself to them as the person responsible for their daughter's pregnancy not for any marriage arrangements. But they disagreed, that if I wasn't ready to come for marriage that I shouldn't bother coming. I pleaded with them to give me enough time to look for money to come and see them, but they instead started threatening me with court cases and arrests, at one time they brought the girl and some soldiers to my family house and harassed my family members including my mother.
So I later traveled to Benin city to go look for money. After one week of my arrival in Benin, I lost my phone and I couldn't retrieve my number. I lost connection with them until I got back to Uyo where I got her phone number from a friend of hers. At this time, I was told that they came to my house several times with police officers claiming I raped their daughter and impregnated her then absconded. At this, I established contact with the girl again and she told me that I should not bother her that she wasn't in the mood to talk to me, I kept calling her but she often ended up abusing me or we often times ended up in quarrels, so I left her alone for sometime.
Two weeks ago I related the matter to one of my distant uncles, who advised me to gather some money and go see her, I called her and told her I wanted to come and see her before she puts to bed, which is expected to be sometime next month (August). But she told me that she still stands by what her parents had said, if it's not for the marriage issue that I should not come, that I should rather send her the money I would use in coming so she can use it to buy the baby clothing and buy some hospital requirements before she puts to bed. I called her parents and they told me the same thing, and said if I don't come for the marriage agreement before she puts to bed, that after she's delivered of the baby I should forget ever coming, and should never mention that I have a child anywhere not to mention coming to claim it ever in the future. And that I should just forget about her and the child.
The issue now is this, I am a bit frustrated because I seem to have lost everything at the moment because of this issue; my calling, the skill I was learning is gone, I have no job aside the menial jobs I do at construction sites which isn't available regularly. Now the little I have saved so far, I am contemplating on whether to use the money to pay for my skills training and continue with it and start my life afresh and forget about her, the child, and her parents, or use the money to support her in her hospital requirements for her delivery. Because I don't want to be seen as abandoning her when she is in this condition, and I also don't want to give up on the child, though I'm not capable of taking care of the girl and the baby right now, and probably, I might end up getting married but not under my present circumstances. I know I've made a grave mistake and this is the consequences for not being true to myself and my calling, and I deeply regret it, and I've suffered for it in any way I can possibly imagine, but I also need to put my life back in order, because right now I'm so devastated that I'm contemplating terrible alternatives to survive the storm, I'm at a very critical moment of my life and I just feel like giving up on life altogether. Please I need your help and advice on this issue. Thanks.
PS. Please if anyone is willing to teach me any skill, I would be very grateful and willing to learn. I read your story and I am quite impressed with your writing skills. You must be an intelligent young man with potentials. It is just a shame this happened to you. I can see you are a good man (from your confessing to the school admin and to your accepting the pregnancy). My advice is that, it is better you don't get married to that babe. I think she is not from a good home, (if they can't understand the situation on ground and had to resort to use of force and threats) they will give you a hell of a time in marriage. So don't! Get yourself back on track first, send any assistance to her and the baby but get yourself back on track first. WHAT MAKES A MAN IS YOUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE, if not bigger troubles await you. Get yourself back on track, seek assistance where you can, because you definitely need help. When you are okay in future, you can come back for your child and they will accept you. Get it together, be determined, be strong because you still have a lot of challenges ahead, unfortunately that's how the world is... Lastly, how sure are you that you are responsible for the pregnancy? We're you the first man to sleep with the girl (was she a virgin at the point of meeting her?). Just be careful, your girls of nowadays are so wayward (likewise the young men too are very reckless). |

bfn1: Oba Akinjobi way, Ikeja (directly opposite LASUTH main gate).
There's a 'U-turnable' space like that directly opposite LASUTH main gate. Sometimes, you'll even see the traffic controller iron box at that turn. It would always look like a legitimate path for an unsuspecting driver, but na big trap & source of income for the policemen observing you from afar (at the intersection near the bridge).
Once you take the bait, na you go make the full U-turn and jejely go & drive into their hands at the intersection (controlled by traffic light).
Is there a warning signpost? Yes, there is - behind a tree. But until recently when the tree was cut down, it used to be largely hidden by the low hanging branch of that tree. Hardly would you notice at a first glance. I paid a Police man on bike N2500 at this U-turn. |
Car Talk › Re: How I Narrowly Escaped Vehicle Impoundment in Lagos by Berankis: 6:25pm On Jul 19, 2021 |
beardedboy: Today I was driving in Lagos and suddenly I saw the car in front of me make a U-turn. I didn't take it serious then the car in front of me signalled to me to make a U-turn.
Before I could make a U-turn this towing vehicle was already in front of me. As I turned, the next thing I saw is the towing vehicle reversing straight towards my car at high speed. The speed was high enough to crush my car and and even give me and my passenger serious injury.
Thank God, I managed to dodge the towing vehicle.
Firstly, there was nothing to indicate that it's a one-way.
Secondly, this car could have injured me or perhaps killed me and even gotten away with it.
Thirdly, it wasn't even on a highway or expressway. It was on a local street, why put people's lives at risk in enforcing a "crime" that doesn't put people's lives at risk?
Now, I'm wondering:
1. How does the Lagos State Government justify this act?
2. Is this how the Lagos state government impounded all those cars they show on the news? The truth is that the Lagos State Government has become overly dubious and cruel in their extortion of Lagosians. I can bet that 90% of the cars impounded were wrongly and deceitfully done. I have experienced a similar situation with yours (@Isolo descending from Daleko bridge) and so many situations. You have Lastma officials and police conniving with some touts to perpetrate these crimes. |

binary007: Loosing your life for another person isn't Selflessness.... It's plain foolishness.
Why die for a stranger and cause your family pain in the process?
RIP The same way Jesus died for the world. Including Nigerians that he didn't know and those using His name to chop. |

eurogee: Even a poor Igbo man would have been brought back home for internment. Even in their own country, Igbos aren't buried outside their hometown. This Youruba people no get respect. Damn! Na the same respect wey them no get, make them sell their land for you to build and do business. But foolish you no go talk of respect then. Igbos dey gree sell land for Yoruba? Idiot! Everybody cannot be like Igbo. Live and let live please. RIP Mr. Sound Sultan (Ajo ole da bile). |
