Happy Sunday, Nairalanders.

Pls pardon any typos.


For the past 6 months now, my junior sister has developed this bad habit of always using my mums phone to borrow outrageous amount of airtime — sometimes, #1k to 2k. And whenever you ask her she would always lie without blinking an eyelid. At the moment, I still have about 1k left to clear. Before then, I had already planned to buy her a phone to at least keep her company, but I don't know if I should go on with the plan or abort it.

Furthermore, she has also formed the habit of giving out my mums number wherever she goes, and my mum is always complaining that most of the contacts in her phone were not saved by her. I don't know if it's because she has access to the phone cos there's no way my mum can keep the phone in the house without her seeing or touching it.

Most at times, some unknown numbers do call my mum and whenever they hear her voice, they will immediately cut the call. Even my aunt has tried to caution her, but she will just pretend like she has stopped it, but after a day or two, the calls would start rolling in again. I'm tired of scolding and shouting at her. Infact, it seems like the more I'm trying to caution her, it is the more she gets courageous to continue doing it. This girl is about turning 15.

So I ask, pls is there a code I can press to stop her line from borrowing airtime — at least, till further notice?


Your inputs will be appreciated.


Lalasticlala, Mynd44. Help me get this to FP pls.

You have to get her personal phone...

Even if it's not internet connected phone... I believe she's at the level where friends/potential bf dey shark her ...

Get her small phone...so she can stay connected with her friends

2 Chronicles 1:11-12
New King James Version
11 (A)Then God said to Solomon: “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life—but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king— 12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as (B)none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like.

I don't understand why Nigerians are not protesting on

High Gas
High cost of foods
Lack of power
0 security
Corruption
Minimum wage


Is it that an average Nigerian hav been programmed to accept suffering as part of life??

Why do we neglect the power we have to change things?

They are the government
We are the Citizens...we hav population to freeze seize all power in the government...


Se na like dis we go dey dey?

Bifwoli:
But don't give potential immigrants the wrong expectations it can be very depressing when they finally get here.
Truth is millionaires are few (even amongst the native born )and in fact worldwide its only the top 5% to 10% of the whole population become millionaires.The vast majority of Americans ,Brits ,Germans ,Australians ,Japanese have never had $1m in their accounts or even in terms of net wealth of assets such as cars,houses and liquid money.

Absolutely bro...
Like I said the more he invest on his buisness...the more he makes cool income... Other factors may set in tho

bepositive11:
Yes, I understood that.

Is it that the environment doesn't encourage people to own businesses?

Starting a business in a western country shows you are very fit financially... So i believe if you pump some good funds into the buisness...it will yield very good profit..


What I meant is that.. Hustling on Blue collar job, menial job... you can never become a millionaire... You will only work, make some money... Pay bills and continue to follow the system.... Sometimes you may need to even apply for credit card...

Nigerian politician never sit down to discuss how to turn around the country...

Their priorities is winning elections

pocohantas:
Then your first instinct would be to guide him to where you shop for your Goliath wears, but alas, everything is a dick-measuring-contest. Till now you haven’t given any reasonable guide or shared your shoe/clothe plug.

Common mehn... Whatya mean by Goliath wears ain't no where close to that!

Anyway he should try Burlington...if he based in the States...

pocohantas:
It is rare. You don’t know because you are not tall or with big feet. Even when they see their size, they get exploited because they are usually desperate. Worse is, they don’t even get many options. They just show them anything and expect them to take it at exorbitant rates.

For ladies, dress size above size 14 is a struggle.
Shoe size 41 and above is a struggle.

For guys, shoes above size 45. Bad as e bad, 46.

I'm tall niqqa..
6'4 baby!!

I don't struggle to get my wear .. he shouldn't also

Percy0006:
You mean my friend bank statement?

Obviously not

Your own bank statement...
You an adult... They expect you to be financially fit to take a trip...

Your friends job may only be to house you...

Get a passport
Your friend doesn't sound like a family member..so you may have to focus on how you can convince the interviewer you will return after your visit...

Because as it is now ..you seems to be planning on relocation... When the consular sens that! You may likely not be considered...

Right now don't stress urself about job availability in the US. we hav multiple...the question is! Are you qualify to get a visa??

Get your invite letter stating they will take care of you when you arrive

You need to prove home ties...

US don't really fancy bank statement but make sure you print one incase they need them...

Goodluck

jesmond3945:

We have been friends for a while..
And I'm currently dating one...

So to be honest they are good people...
They are different and I kinda fancy them

Best active Security agencies in Nigeria

This guys are really working... Kudos

With the partnership of the US intelligence in Nigeria... We should be able to clean some dirt small

heniford2:
God just hate Nigeria i swear they give them bad leaders, with the whole creative mind e come be like say everyone in Nigeria is dumb just because of bad leaders

Bro, God doesn't hate nigeria..

Infact, God loves Nigeria more than anything...
Do you know out of over 500countries... Nigeria is the 10th largest oil producing countries with other rich resources like gold...

He gave us top level resources..
Apart from Germany... We should be richer Dan all EU countries...

God will not come down again after all those gifts and teach us how to manage it

DoctorOlasDesk:
Exactly. It was this same way in the 80s. It was what engineered Nigeria to start doing 419. Buhari was the one behind how Nigeria started doing fraud, it was only after he was ousted when it became too much people then starting blaming IBB who inherited the problems caused. Though Buhari caused the financial hardship and famine. He isn't destined for leadership

So let say the indomitable generation dint have idea about all this...
I don't understand why the adults decide to vote for someone they once knew was a disaster?

bepositive11:
Why do you say that we can't become a millionaire but we will live comfortably?

Millionaire in $ not naira...

Aaronsrod:
I belive this is most serious.

Forget domestic obedience.

You cannot even beat a dog talk less of your wife and children

It's not even because we are Africans

A white man can never claim to stand on his wife and claim "man of the house"..

They consider husband and wife here as partner... Both work to support the house...

You wife can literally sent you packing if you misbehave...

Beating dog and animal generally is a serious offence...

bepositive11:
Please enlighten us Nairalanders on the cons of moving abroad to give us a more balanced view of what life is like abroad.

Please share your negative experiences and your struggles to settle in and to get to a point of living comfortably.

No positive experiences, please. Only the negative ones since we always hear the positives.

Bad weather

I don't believe in Racisms..it depends how you manage yourself... 97% of my friends are whites

You will pay taxes for the rest of your life

Loneliness may set in at some point


No paperwork? you will suffer small


As man.. That African man of the house mentalitydoesn't exist here

You will not really become a millionaire..but you will leave comfortably


You will miss your family... In my own case..I'm not bothered..na only my elder bro dey naija...d rest with ma parent they here

Food is expensive here... So if you the type that love African food...you will hav to pay extra to enjoy it
