He got it wrong by marrying a liability as a wife. That’s a reasonable income for a man whose wife earns half of that.

I said on this same thread that I plan to do a vasectomy after one or two kids, and they turned on me like I committed a crime. Even before Buhari entered office, I never liked the idea of having many children. One or two is enough for me.
After that, I know I can’t rely on CD forever, and I also don’t want my woman’s body going through unnecessary changes because of family planning, which seems like selfishness to me. Vasectomy makes the most sense for both parties.
I’ve noticed a lot of Africans are obsessed with having plenty kids like it’s a competition. That mindset isn’t for me sha.

Me thinks even 3 kids is aseju in this economy, and the perfect number for his income bracket is two.

The economy ain't smiling and everything don quadruple in price. Creche/school fees, food, clothes, rent, healthcare, transportion,cutility bills, groceries, school books.....you name it.

So people gats align their family size with their pockets for peace of mind, financial stability and ability to invest QUALITATIVELY in their kids future, and not just drag them along.

Also, people gats abandon that shit of "make we try once more for a particular gender" cos it doesn't end well most times, and don make many couples born pass wetin dem fit handle.

Once una get your desired number of kids, just lock up no matter their gender. And in locking up;

No do withdrawal method❌
No do safe period method❌
No go dey drink neem oil❌

Cos all of dem dey fail.

Visit a proper clinic or health care facility, and adopt a proper birth control/,family planning method guided by a professional.

Make I rest my fingers for now.

They seek and get lots of foreign research grants as well running into thousands of dollars, which they even end up using school resources to carry out, no lecturer wey sabi him way dey depend on salary from FG sef……that Hilux you’re seeing sometimes even follows the grant

TemporaryHansel:
Yeah. Back then I knew few lecturers who did it, I think the money is taken from their salary directly. I don't really remember much, but it seemed like the school authorities were the ones overseeing the cooperative. So, you can't possibly default unless FG doesn't pay salaries.

TemporaryHansel:
Loans na. They have cooperatives in school that they take loans from.

In Nigeria, if you’re not popping out kids like rabbits, people think something’s wrong with you. My big bro has been married for over 11 years, has one child, well-educated, doing well, yet relatives still talk trash behind his back like he’s defective. All because he chose to be intentional about parenthood. I'm literally the only one in the entire family who gets him. Truth is, most Nigerians hate structure and planning. They treat kids like furniture, just keep having them without thinking about the future. It’s madness masked as culture.

Shey if your state governor wan appoint you as commissioner of finance, you go reject am?

The fact that someone as informed as you is asking this important question is an indictment on the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission. Information like this should already be public with widespread reach, so people can plan accordingly.

As someone in the system, I can confirm that it's true....and it's not just academic staff of universities but staff of all Federal Tertiary Educational Institutions (Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education).

And this shit of delayed salaries began last year October when the FTEIs were migrated from IPPIS to GIFMIS salary platform.

My institution's Bursar released a memo on the issue and blamed FG for the delay. According to the memo, lack of cash backing from the Office of the Accountant General is the reason for the delayed salary.

◾Wage award we no see.
◾EAA still dey hang.
◾2023 arrears of 25/35% increment, yet to drop.
,◾Monthly salary wey we dey take hold body, delayed.

Sometimes, I dey feel like some of PBATs appointees dey deliberately sabotage hin government. Surely, it can't be that difficult to process and pay salaries timely. Also, PBAT needs to exercise better oversight over his appointees because the buck stops at his table, and na hin dem go blame for failures like this.

Me. I for no too worry if no be say I carry funds go register my last born to begin school in September, and paid first term schl fees of hin elder bro & sis. Also bought a new battery for the car and did some maintenance so account don red.

Anyways, hats of to all men cos na grit and grace many of us dey take run this life.

Edit: The salary alert don dey enter but e never reach my side.

I'm sure if Okpa has shown this level of passion about migrating to his beloved NK, China or mother Russia, by now he'd have achieved his goal.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has begun a nationwide strike action following the non-payment of June 2025 salaries to its members.

The union has instructed all branches across federal universities to withdraw their services in line with its "No Pay, No Work" policy.

ASUU President, Prof. Chris Piwuna, confirmed the development in Abuja on Monday, stating that the action is based on a resolution by the union’s National Executive Council (NEC). According to him, NEC had agreed that lecturers would down tools if salaries are delayed beyond three days after the end of the month.

Branches at the University of Jos and University of Abuja have already commenced the strike.

Prof. Piwuna criticised the government’s "lackadaisical attitude" towards university lecturers, who he said are already struggling with inadequate pay. He blamed the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation for the salary delays and said despite previous meetings with top officials including the Minister of Education, no action has been taken to address the issue.

Since the migration from IPPIS to GIFMIS, ASUU says its members have faced persistent delays, although the payment platform itself has posed no technical problems.

“We are tired of talking about this,” Piwuna said. “We want to work, but they have not allowed us to.”

He also warned of fresh agitation if the remaining ₦10 billion from the Earned Academic Allowance (EAA) is not paid. The government had pledged ₦50 billion but only disbursed ₦40 billion.

ASUU maintains that the strike will continue at any university where salaries remain unpaid.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
This is stale. We're talking about your inferiority complex. The Spanish PM called your favorite a genocidal State.
Can you also tag him a terrorist sympathizer too ?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
He no get that mind. Even to criticize the King or the Spanish pm that lambasted Israel. Na him follow Nigerians him small blue deek dey rise.
Now, I understand perfectly how the European colonizers successfully annexed some colonies in West Africa without firing a gun. People like him were in abundant in such region.

GloriousGbola:
We had one boss like that. They had to FIGHT for his us visa.he was going to Harvard for a training. This guy had gone to Saudi on hajj several times. And that is apparently a terrorist red flag. He was turned down at least once. Company had to intervene.

Those who need your advice will take note

LordAdam16:
Why do you think you are the first to display inferiority complex by using the visa update as some sort of repartee?

Does Ireland and Spain have that rule?

Support the genocide and schrodinger terrorists!
If you're going to display inferiority complex, I'll call it out.
Western citizens recoil at the genocide in Palestine.
So can citizens of any other country.

Of all the things you could use to justify genocide.
Na visa. 🤦‍♂️

Go apply for your visa.
Tell them Satanyahu can eradicate every Palestinian.
Enjoy your trip.

The United States Mission in Nigeria has announced that all applicants for F, M, and J nonimmigrant visas must now adjust their social media account’s privacy settings to “public.”

F, M, and J visas are nonimmigrant visa categories issued by the US government for individuals coming to the country for educational and exchange purposes.

The mission stated that applicants in those categories must now set their personal social media profiles to public, as part of a new visa requirement.

The development was announced via the United States Diplomatic Mission Nigeria’s official X page on Monday, noting the update was effective immediately.

“Effective immediately, all individuals applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa are requested to adjust the privacy settings on all of their personal social media accounts to ‘public,’” the post read.

According to the post, the change is meant to complement vetting efforts aimed at determining applicants’ identities and their admissibility to the United States.

“We use all available information in our visa screening and vetting to identify visa applicants who are inadmissible to the United States, including those who pose a threat to US national security,” the post said.

The US, while earlier announcing the plan for the update in June, maintained that its visa “is a privilege, not a right.”

On June 18, 2025, the US Department of State published on its website that under the new guidance, “we will conduct a comprehensive and thorough vetting, including online presence, of all student and exchange visitor applicants in the F, M, and J nonimmigrant classifications.”

“To facilitate this vetting, all applicants for F, M, and J nonimmigrant visas will be instructed to adjust the privacy settings on all of their social media profiles to ‘public.’”

The statement added, “Every visa adjudication is a national security decision.

“The United States must be vigilant during the visa-issuance process to ensure that those applying for admission into the United States do not intend to harm Americans and our national interests and that all applicants credibly establish their eligibility for the visa sought, including that they intend to engage in activities consistent with the terms for their admission.”

Nothing like that bro. I have been using both for over three years.

That's the last hope of the common man, and since there's no collateral only reputation damage in the long run, most of them feel the immediate solution is better than the latter reputation damage

I opened the loan section one day and looked at the interest rates, omo it was bloody, interests were as high as 16.8% I think the lowest was about 9% and that's when you spread the loan tenure for a longer period say 6 months, meaning if you borrow 100k you'll pay back 160k
