InvestmentRe: Please I Need Help With My 7million Naira by BigManny: 6:05pm On Jun 03
Roseodd:
Should I use my 7 million to buy mini bus or I should buy Treasury bill please
I need urgent advice please
Guy. Shuttle bus is not even upto 7m sef, depending on the city. It's about 4m to 4.5m. You can buy shuttle bus with 4.5m direct Belgium, then use like 2m to get 1 plot somewhere.. by the 2yts you may want to Jakpa, the plot of land will appreciate even, plus ur money made from shuttle bus..

FamilyRe: What's The Cost Of Getting A Divorce? by BigManny: 1:46pm On May 21
Onegai:
Please calm down, can I send you information via email?

And offer counseling

Let us step back from the cliff.

Because Divorce is wonderful for lawyers looking for rent money.

2 years mandatory separation, if you want to file before then it will cost more.

N1million-N6million to file (yes, I am not joking, especially if you're in Lagos or Abuja). You will pay for extra like printing and any other documents lawyer needs.

File in High Court, she will be served a month later, she has 30 days to respond and your first court date will be 4 to 6 months after, just for Mentioning.

After that, another month or 2 for Conference (you and your wife will go before the Judge, no lawyers allowed to speak and mediate).

Then another month or 2 after for your trial.

Courts are backed up, so unless she responds back Uncontested, expect to spend 3 years on this matter, some people that got caught during Covid spent 10 years.

Even with no kids, you fit spend 2 years if clerks go on strike and since na high court, I dunno how backed up it will be with election tribunals next year (Political Aspirants pay more so their cases will be heard faster than your inconsequential marital issues, sorry undecided)

Are you fighting for custody? Add an additional year plus you'll pay extra for Child Welfare Officers for the mandatory house and school visit. You need to be financially buoyant because you have to pay Child Support or she can garnish your bank accounts

If you start dating, she can sue you for Adultery and sue your side chic for alienation. Upto N10million, another court case.

Court cases are open, so everyone in court that day (bloggers, other petitioners and anyone who just feels like attending) will be listening to you and her air your very dirty laundry in public. They can write about it too, mentioning your name. Not a crime.

Still interested? There's more o...


Oya please drink water, let's talk

Well over 50% of marriages are salvageable and in 5 years time you'll probably feel different.

But if we work on it now, and you give yourself to this process, in 5 years time, I pray I never see you again smiley

Please, let's talk
Thank you for this illustration. It's a hell of lengthy process. Reading for a friend though..

TravelRe: 9 Things Lagos Uber Drivers Will Tell You That Sound Like Jokes But Are Facts by BigManny: 9:30pm On Jul 12, 2025
Offpoint1:
I used Uber almost daily, either for trip or delivery. I've never experienced none of the above.

The only conversation I have with an Uber driver is their first confirmation calls and confirmation pick up questions "Are you Mr Offpoint?" "Cash or cashless" and no further conversation after that.

I always sat behind the driver's seat and I made zero eyes contact till I dropped.


Things that has become habitual to me:

1. I always rate my drivers/riders 5 stars.

2. If for whatever reasons I delayed them more than 5 minutes, I always tip them extra plus tons of apologies.

3. I tip them extra cash when there's traffic and the trip took longer than estimated.

4. I tip them if I'm going to locations I'm not familiar and we had a little hassle locating my destination.

5. If I know the price shown on the app is lower than what it's expected of the distance, I will pay them extra.

6. If I have luggage I always inform them ahead.

If you get to my pick up point and unforseen circumstances I decided to cancel the trip, I'll compensate them with 30-50% of the trip cost
I'm not interested in whatever vehicle they are driving, whether with AC or not, as long as it can get to my destination.

I respect genuine hustlers and I treat them with topmost respect.

When I read bad stories about drivers, I have the feelings that 98% of the escalation is always from the passengers and not Uber drivers/riders.
Most of our Nigerian people tend to have this bossy altitude once they're paying you for something.
You are a human being! I give you 5-Stars for this ur level of understanding.
PhonesRe: Let’s Be Honest, iPhones Are Not For Everyone by BigManny: 1:42pm On Jun 30, 2025
Desewa08:
This might offend some people but I’ll still say it: iPhones are not for everyone.

‎I’ve used both iPhones and Androids and as much as I respect the clean UI and camera of iPhones not everyone needs a phone that costs as much as rent in Lagos 😭. Some of us just want a phone that:

‎•Won’t die before 3pm

‎•Charges fast

‎•Has decent camera for weekend pictures

‎•Doesn’t freeze mid-Zoom call

‎•Doesn’t make us check our account balance before buying data 😩

‎I used to think I needed an iPhone until I realized I was basically using a ₦900k phone to scroll Twitter, snap food pics and watch Instagram skits that my Android could’ve shown me the same way 😭. I switched to a realme phone a few months ago and I won’t lie, I had my reservations. I mean, the name alone feels like something you'd see on the back of a power bank 😭 but omo… this phone has been doing the most.

‎✅ Battery that actually lasts (I charge once a day now)
‎✅ No unnecessary heat even during long calls
‎✅ Camera quality? Surprisingly solid.
‎✅ Smooth UI... No glitchy wahala or clutter

‎It’s not perfect sha. The name still doesn’t sit well with me and people still look at me somehow when I say it but if we’re talking value for money, I’m not sure anything else comes close right now.

‎So let's argue:
‎-Do you need an iPhone or is it just vibes and pressure?
‎-What brand are you using that actually shocked you (in a good way)?
‎-And why do we look down on phones with “unpopular” names?
I've never used iPhone and that's because it's overrated!! I've used different versions of VIVO, from Y series to V series, and I can tell you for free that's it's better than iPhone 13 pro max in everything. Few friends who use iPhones confirmed it.

I'm cool, contented and explore my VIVO very well.

Thank you.

FamilyRe: Many Women Walking Out Of Their Marriages In Recent Times. by BigManny: 5:07pm On Mar 18, 2025
Starz825:
Its a serious issue tbh

even relationship is not the way they used to be now

i have come to notice a thing

men should also learn how to live alone

for some women...its not always abt that the man doesnt have money to offer them.

its about her ego, pride, beauty, money, her hunger for independence from a man.


Once a woman is pretty and rich and probably has a child or 2........SHE WANTS INDEPENDENCE!!

Most women are still with their hubby cos may be they are poor, cant bisect life alone and all... not really cos they love their hubby


The bible says :

when a man finds a wife, he finds favor before the lord.

do you know what this means : woman wey go dey with you till the end scarce (all things being equal; no health issues, no bad finances/investment). but if you are lucky to have that woman; bible say you have found favor from God.

for God to have related this with favor ...thats to tell you, its not a regular/common thing. its an uncommon favor. Only few will get it.

See how bad Queen Vasti treated a whole king in the book of Esther before she was banished like a plague so she wont be a bad example to other women in the province.

God so good, a humble Esther came in to replace the proud queen. For every stubborn/proud Vasti, there is a humble Esther somewhere... Even the Royal King didnt get it right until his second marriage...omooh
I love this. Thank you.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Is It True That Short People Are Always Stubborn? by BigManny: 7:04pm On Jan 05, 2025
helinues:

It's a myth.. People sometimes take an advantage on short people and when they respond cleverly, people would say they are stubborn.

Not tolerating shits can't be regarded as being stubborn

Perhaps being tall is automatically being smart
Are you short?

See, short people (Esp Ladies) not only they are stubborn, but arrogant, selfish and claims right always. They can use words to you any how they want but they'll feel insulted when you return same energy.

I've experienced this with lots of them. They are terrible

LOL she's NOT Igbo. Her father is of Yoruba/Itshekiri origin and her mother is Mozambican.

I have a Yoruba friend who named her child Ezinne, he has no Igbo origin. Don't be fooled by first names.
Her father is from Enugu State of Nigeria, reason why she paid homely/courtesy visit to the Governor of Enugu State when she visited Nigeria before leaving for miss universe context. Her real surname is ONWE.
