I have one of these for the fun of it. I don't have any purpose for it when I started it. I figured I will hand it over to my mom or continue adding money till 2023 election.

I just want to test my already rock-solid patience.

I just realized no matter how broke I am, I never get the urge to break it. I guess it's because I have accounts with more than 30 different banks/apps and I have small money in all of them for emergency.

Lol. Getting and saving money requires serious patience

Chai see d way u spread money like mat...you try wel well. I suggest you take a pics with you sleeping on top of the money before you pack it....

I actually spread the money like that because of people wey go talk say the money no reach. The last one I got was 219k when I saved for about 7-8months before opening. I posted that on my other NL account (but I don't think I remember the password) and someone called me a a liar for saying that the money was up to 219k because I join everything together and it looked small because of the way I snapped. U know say people sabi argue wetin dem no get proof of

Kudos to you for seizing the initiative! Unlike some people who don't have any plan for their life other than begging (online or offline). I've said it countless times, there are certain things that shouldn't catch one unawares; House rent (it's a yearly thing for God's sake), Child christening (your wife was pregnant for a whole 9 months), School fee (na every 3 months palava).

Unforeseen issues like illness, robbery, & accidents are quite understandable. Nigerians, make we dey plan our lives o!

You're right. Adequate planing reduces prayer points. Lots of people are too lazy to chart a course that'd enable fix their financial issues. They'd rather rely on last minute miracles. The fear of embarrassment from another human wouldn't even let me think of begging as an option to raise money for stuffs.

ItsGoodToBeGood:
Wow,,, you are doing well bro, It Isn't Easy.


One kind Nigerian spirit in me cannot allow me do this successfully.

Someone told me sth and it was a great advise. she said I should always force myself to do things. Even this one na force I take do am.

Comrade, sense will not kill you, I love this your initiative

Lol Thank you brother

Omihanifa:
Nice

Thanks

Hello guys so I moved into a new apartment late last year which cost 300k - a mini one bedroom flat in Abuja. I knew I had to become more serious about saving or else me and landlord go get problem at the end of the year ....

Just like always, I do my calculations before taking any step and then I start saving. My former place cost 140k (a self contain) I needed more space so I had to move into my current place. Although it's not too big but since na only me, e dey ok.

However before moving in I calculated how much I'd have to save to meet up because I don't like the idea of having to run around like a headless chicken when my rent is due so I always start saving the very day I renew my rent anywhere. It has really helped me.

My calculation was that if I could save 1k per day I'll definitely meet up by God's grace before the year runs out. Some days I put in 10k or 5k or even 1k depending on how much cash I have at hand while the money transferred to my bank account remains untouched except for important spendings. I still have a month plus before my rent expires but I just started having this strong feeling to break the box open and I did tonight. What I got when I counted...... N343,500

I spread the money for people wey wan count. Although there was no space enough to properly spread so some are ontop others in twos and threes. I couldn't capture the whole money well because space no too dey and I'm not a professional photographer

I'll be sealing the box to begin saving from today again if I get cash. It's fun but very stressful and draining. Not for people without self control. Lol

Lots of people don't know the power of consistently saving in bits for a long period of time. If you're in that category, I hope this helps.

yanabasee:
Because PMS is not supposed to be retailed..... The black market guys pay extra to get their fuel and so if you want to use another means to get the fuel through a jerrican, they will refused selling it to you ... Believing that you want to go and sell it

Retailers always bring 25ltrs na. If person carry 4 or 5ltrs to come buy dem suppose know say na for generator mostly

greatness77:
The only reason is because d fuel will be small and they fear u might refuse to accept and carry your fuel go because u already know d guage of your gallon and even if u did not know someone there will know it and if its a hot tempered man he will exclaim "metre no good oo" and those who wanted to put fuel in their car will all ran away, so its not because of black market ok, next time if u want dem to sell fuel for jerican for u, just make sure nobody is there dat wants to buy also in jerican then aproach d guy dont communicate with him man to man then wisper to his ear dat u understands dat d fuel will be small asure him u will carry it no matter how small it will be, if u wish u can still dash him #100 the guy will smile and sell d fuel for u, did u understand now? Ive been buying fuel in jerican since with dis trick

Hahahahahahhahahahaahahahahaha..... My belle oooooooooo

Meanwhile, Bolt driver is not supposed to ask the rider's name again. When he's the only one at the location who showed interest to enter your car just as expected.

Who does that mumu familiarity

Omo na naija be this. He has the right to ask o. Some people go jus see Toyota Corolla park by their side and dem go enter before asking if you're from bolt.

Because some posters posts things in the wrong sections.

Ok. Help me carry am go the right place. Thanks

So I joined my colleague on his way home in his car and at a point his car started showing sign of insufficient fuel on his dashboard. Being a learner, he was really scared and I advised that he pulled over and get some fuel since he believed that his car may get stuck on the way because we were in heavy traffic and his fuel was being drained. Now here's the thing... We had already passed a couple of gas stations while driving before he noticed he was short on fuel. When he eventually pulled over, I took the jerrycan and walked down some distance to the other side of the road and told them our car wouldn't move due to insufficiency of fuel and I was in desperate need of some fuel but the attendant refused vehemently saying that they do not sell to customers in jerrycans. I talked and talked and he refused. At a point, a motorist pointed me to where the manager was and told me to go talk to him... Na that one bad pass sef... Before I could open my mouth to talk, he had already said no to me. When I took time to explain the situation and how desperate we were for some fuel he even became fierce and said no still, and went ahead to tell me he may even lose his job if he dared sold to me in a jerrycan no matter the situation. Truth is I was shocked and I still do not know why some gas stations turn down customers (who apparently aren't 'black-marketers) down when they seek to buy fuel in jerrycans for either their car or generator set. Isn't it same money they'd collect if sold directly to people who drive directly into the gas station to buy? This had always puzzled me.

muzilala:
You made a point and i have told him this before.
I am not just a member of The Lord’s Chosen, I’m also a very close relative of the G.O. He’s my uncle. I remember those days when his former wife was alive, Pst Lazarus Muoka will take us to Shiloh every December even though we were members of Watchman church and later in 2003 Chosen was birthed.
What I’m i trying to say; I understand most chosen members have this guy’s dead mentality and try to scare people with hell all the time, it doesn’t work that way, people still go back to their old ways and all that. This guy keeps looking for ways to display his dark views. I hope his stop all these and reach out with love. I’ve had wonderful time with sweet chosen members that will lead anyone to Christ with their lifestyle and it’s evident in every area of their lives. I reckon this righteousness guy might be jobless, if he has a good and live the work ethic life, he won’t be coming here to air his ill-fated views, and ofcourse, no one here takes him any seriously.

You're absolutely right. From my experience as a Christian, it takes more than threats to make one become saved. People are yearning for deeper relationship and intimacy with God and he's busy threatening them with hell. I don tire for the guy matter

Deal with all these things with very very Light Hands.
They are Deceivers. They have nothing to do with our life.

Pursue what really Matters! What Really Matters is the Genuie Salvation of your Soul. Whatever you Have without a Genuie Encounter with JESUS Christ is a waste.

Be guided!

With the way you go about preaching doom, I don't believe you have any reasonable thing to say. Even God Himself wins the heart of men through the message of love and persuasion. You think your stupid message on hell scares people here? You must be joking! The truth is that if you are really deep in God, hell and threatening will not be the only message you have. When I became born again it wasn't the message on hell that converted me. As a matter of fact, everytime I heard the message on hell, at first I became remorseful but after I step out from that vicinity, I continued in sin. When God finally arrested me, the message had absolutely nothing to do with hell fire and guess what? I only listened to a tape in my room broke down in tears and got converted.

I know Chosen members... They don't attend other churches no wonder you're stuck in your doctrine of doom. You better do yourself good and mingle with other Christians so that you can liberate yourself from this dooms-day-only-doctrine which you hold dearly.

I ended up what? Lol, I'm done with you.

Na breakup?

nenyewrites:
There is nothing like Nigerian context. The definition is the definition. If you've come across a bunch of retards that redefined it, that doesn't change its true meaning.

U ended up not answering the question. Of cos there's a Nigerian context of feminism. Everything Nigerians copy from the West, they blow out of proportion. You may be tempted to wanna give me the dictionary definition of feminism as it were but please tell me one Nigerian babe who is a real feminist in the sense of the word. Here it simply means challenging the authority of a man to prove a point. If you're not married, try telling every single man you go out with that you're a feminist. I dare you to just mention the word and see where the relationship leads to.

nenyewrites:
You and the lady deserve each other. Just look at your absurd definition of feminism. Hope you guys are warming each other's bed now (since you like assuming, let me follow your footstep).

Please define feminism in the Nigerian context since you believe I'm wrong.

Help an unemployed graduate

Bro enter any site and offer to assist any of the artisans there. In the end ask them to teach you their work. I'm a graduate too but I'm an artisan and I'm never broke. If I tell you how much I make in a month you may think I'm lying.

FinallyFamous:
every one should learn or know their place and be the best in their role .

The problem stem from trying to leave your own place (as a man or woman) to spy on the other person/partners space and think you know better..

The other person will def feel embarrassed or oppressed and fight back. It's not for a specific gender alone it vice Vasa.

But these days we want to create rules fist to see who is more superior or inferior

We need to first learn our individual roles , be master at it and be your best , then come together and align .
some of us are either half bake, don't take correction, heady , stubborn, egoists, lack good manners, dishonest, complainers , unforgiving etc

We then come with all sort and unhealed trauma and expect the other person to put up with our bullsh*t.. when we are our own problems

@bolded you're 100% right! I've carefully observed that women are like children who want everything the see. First they collected boxers from men, then trousers, then our jeans, then our shirts, suit, sneakers and even dared to fight over our beloved agbada and now they want our God-given authority. I port any man that parts with that in the name of being romantic or sensitive. Your life will never remain same.

On the other hand a man wants just the simple things of life and peace most importantly. There's no end to what women want.

nenyewrites:
Did you even read what you wrote? "All those stuff about feminism is a lie." (What stuff?). "No woman wants to be alone." (When has feminism become synonymous to being alone?) I'm pretty sure that woman's education stopped at high school, that's if she is even educated.

What's feminism for most women? Isn't it all about power, control, being in charge... Now which man in his right senses will wanna be with such a woman who enjoys her space and also wishes to subdue him by taking over his authority? Where does that leave her in the end? Being alone of cos. If u see truth dey talk am. You don't die.

I was expecting the thread to spiral into one of those MILF sexcapades only to find motivational questions at the end. GTFOH man!

Not everyone has a penis problem

Mercychen:
When next you see her, tell her I said she should speak for herself only. Not everyone is like her that can't do without a man. So let her stop with the generalization.


It's women like her who the thing in between their legs are itching them badly that can never do without a man. As for a woman who has total self-control, she can forget that a man exist especially if she's well to do. Abeg everyone is not the same.

Mtchew!

If you're saying that you can't do without a man it's either you've had your heart broken several times or betrayed at the last minute by someone you were totally into or you're a lesbian. No sane woman with working brain and organs won't desire a man. You're talking about self control? Keep punishing yourself and calling it self control. God wey create male and female for companionship no wise abi? Continue... E go clear for your eyes

I'm a Married man..
My WIFE will always say that having a Husband to nurture your kids as they grow is even more important, that, there's always a divine touch Men add to kids as they grow in homes.

That a man may be careless but when he comes in to address pertinent issues and economic reforms in a family setting, you'll see the difference.
Finally, both genders are uniquely made.
Women withstand Stress more.
MEN are more likely to die from suicide.

Bros your wife is right

Your username really checks out.

I don't understand

providencia:
You see how you are shifting blame to the driver? You didn't ask yourself what if the driver was killed/kidnap or vehicle stolen? Who would be traced ? YOU !

If you understand how bolt works, you will not blame the driver that much

I didn't even see things from this point. What I did was very risky. I'll never try it again.

Hello guys, just to bring to our notice a new scam I experienced yesterday A young guy saw me somewhere I went for a job and approached me for help. Immediately I saw him, I sensed that he was no good but I decided not to assume (now I regret that decision.)

He said his phone was down and needed me to help him order Bolt ride if I had the app on my phone. (I had done such favour for a person before and it went well) I still didn't trust him but I decided to help nonetheless. I obliged him and he thanked me after which he asked for the details of the vehicle. I told him the colour and Reg number and then I went in to do the job that I came for. After about 40 minutes I got a message saying that the trip had ended and the fare was N1,200 . I was glad I helped out since I believed that everything went well.

Well, guess what? I got a text around 8pm from the driver I believe, saying that he still hasn't received payment (I think the guy promised to make a transfer to him and probably asked him to send his details.) I only received the text saying he hasn't been paid but no account number was attached meaning that the dude may have actually given him a different phone number to send his details to and maybe when he discovered that he had been played, he decided to contact me since it was my number that he saw on the request page. He also called me several times but I wasn't aware my phone was ringing.

When I called him back, told him that I got his message and that it's obvious he had been played, he wasn't happy. I told him that I only assisted the guy in booking for bolt ride since he said his phone was down and that I wasn't the one he picked. He confirmed what I said, saying the guy told him same story about his phone being down and that he promised to make a transfer.

Now here are some questions that ran through my mind as I thought about the whole thing yesterday:

1. Why didn't he ask for the guy's name before picking him up? It's not enough to say "hi, are you Mr./Miss A or B?" Of cos the person will readily say yes.

2. If they cannot confirm the name/phone number on the request, they may be a security threat to you if you go ahead to pick them.

3. Why agree to a transfer when the customer told you his phone was down? That's not smart.

4. What stopped you from calling the number who ordered for your services when the customer started acting funny?

I just pity the bolt guy yesterday because I know how painful it must have been offering services and not getting your money.

If someone insists on making a transfer to me after working for them, I insist on waiting for them to make the transfer rather than sending my details and I also hang around and initiate discussion until I confirm payment. I learnt my lesson the hard way.

If you get your money from the street, you must be street smart in order to reduce losses.

Modified: some people have pointed how that what I did was quite dangerous. Truth be told, they're totally right. Like someone said... What if the driver was killed? It would have been traced back to me. All I did was help. No more offering of assistance to strangers anymore. Lesson learnt.
