PropertiesI Am Confused Between Building Or Buying A Flat by BornToSucced(op): 5:08pm On Sep 01, 2021
I am really confused right now.

I am stuck between buying a one bedroom apartment in a prime estate in Ikota, Ajah at a total cost of 30m. The rental per annum around the area should be 1.5m - 1.8m. Payment plan is 13 months

However, another mind is telling me to use the 15m cash I have with me to start my 8 unit bedroom miniflat in Awoyaya. I already have a 2 plots for this and the building plan is almost ready. I know the 15m won't complete the project, so I had stop wherever the money is exhausted.

Please share your opinion if you were in my shoe. Thanks

Sometimes, it is good to learn a bit of crypto before starting stock market. Assuming you have used luno binance, hot bit etc this won't be hard to do...you fund your bamboo wallet the same way you fund luno wallet then.. you buy coins on binance using Market , limit, oco etc...go and learn crypto join if you wan enjoy stock...you will learn how to buy stocks at support, , sell at resistant, you will know ema, RSI understand candle charts etc when you learn crypto first...
Thanks Boss! Your point is well appreciated cheesy grin

Limit is when you set a price to buy or sell stock as the price you desire.

Market is buying or sells at the current or prevaling price that present price.

I have been following this thread since last year, and I am now ready to start buying my first stocks.

I am using Trove, but the Market and Limit option when buying stock is what I don't understand.

Please what's the difference between the Market and Limit option?

Which option would you recommend?

InaNla, 4Play, Oakpearl, Skymoore, YerYer, seyisanya, afroxy, Yazga, Nobody , thesilentone, lafuria1

Many thanks.

, your taught tho, I will never blackmail my husband, no matter what and I'm not seeking social media attention if you must know, only trying to pour out my mind, which I have done and really feel relieved about it, let's becareful how we contribute to issue that might be heating other up........ The love I have for my husband is not here, but just felt betrayed that he could do that..... So forget the fact that am shedding crocodile tears, you comment like someone who doesn't value a woman.... I'm not like ladies of today and I don't even do social media stuff, nairaland is only my place and just joined few months ago, if you must know, my husband introduce me to the platform years back so as to be reading news and doesn't want me on other social media which I'm always obeying till date, so don't just talked to people like you know them well, if you can't be positive then stay clear off. Thanks, don't mean any insult, I'm a well cultured and trained lady.
Keep praying for him. I think he has been carried away by some women, or friends might have had a bad influence on him. I know how you feel and I pray that God would restore your marriage immediately. Amen.

Keep praying and also try to get busy with other things that can help you stay fit and happy. Like going on a beach with your kids, playing with them often.
FamilyRe: How Do I Make My Fiancee To Like My Sister. by BornToSucced(m): 5:22pm On Jun 01, 2021
Op, your babe is manipulating you. This is where you have to take a stand devoid of emotion.

Let her know your sister can stay with you as long as you decide, and there’s nothing she can do.

She is not yet your wife in the first place. S don’t start what you won’t finish in the name of love.

But also make sure your sister isn’t the bad egg. If she is, discipline her accordingly too.

As a man you need to reason and act like one, or else you’re in for showdown.
FamilyRe: Have You Ever Shared An Apartment? What's Your Experience Like? by BornToSucced(m): 10:49am On May 31, 2021
I have done that twice and it was a horrible experience.

You’re in your 30s, so I believe you should be on your own and build your own future.

With a shared apartment comes shared responsibilities- both positive and negative. Often, the negative far outweigh the positives.

Imagine after moving in with the guy and he suddenly decides to relocate to another place, what would you do? What if he says he doesn’t want you to continue after a year?

Lastly, he’s the only person legally recognized by the landlord. As such, he can sack you anytime you have a little misunderstanding.

My thoughts!

Keep trying. Try to engage in some school or church activities where you get to meet and talk to people.
FamilyRe: Please, I Need Your Advice by BornToSucced(m): 10:29pm On May 29, 2021
At 20 you should be focusing on your studies.

What’s your problem young man? grin

Just be friendly with both sexes, and try to bring up some topics and ask them for their opinion. That way when they are talking you’re listening and giving them eye contact.

While listening also, you’re also reasoning your next questions based on what they are saying.

E.g I really like your explanation; that was a brilliant one, Amaka!; Please tell me more Mr/Miss Professor!

They would smile and then you continue.
FamilyRe: Is It Normal For Bachelor To Burn 7kg Gas In One Month? by BornToSucced(m): 10:55am On May 29, 2021
Whether 7kg or 12kg, it all depends on your usage and cooking pattern.

7kg can last for 3 months if you rarely cook as well as if all you cook is indomie and rice.

Same 7kg can finish within 2 weeks if you cook daily.
PoliticsRe: Lagos Connects 100 Schools And 12 Hospitals With CCTV To Boost State's Security by BornToSucced(m):
No doubt, I think Lagos is way ahead of most states.

Just imagine if the Northern states were thinking in this regard. Rather, there are sending their indigene for advanced courses in Quran and Islamic studies, wasting tax payers money in building mosques, and focusing on herdsmen grin

Just imagine 5 states in the North, 5 in the South, and 5 in the East all thinking and planning like Lagos. They won't have time to discuss trivial and frivolous topics like herdsmen and bandits.

But since most of these states Governors are clueless, incompetent, and morally deficient, the devil has infiltrated their minds. When they speak on national issues, even satan marvel at their level of incompetence.

Nice one Sanwolu, even though you are not perfect. I know governing a state as complex as Lagos is not a child's play.

Please let's try to encourage him and others that are trying.

Thanks so much for the advice. I will always represent Nigeria dutifully
All the best man. There would be time you would feel like giving up, there would be time you would look back and feel like you made a big mistake. In such moments, just cheer yourself and keep your head up.

Just be humble and stay focus. Anything is possible
TravelRe: My 30 Days Sojourn Through Cotonou To Dubai by BornToSucced(m):
Derende:
I have read lot of comments here on this thread and I have some points to make;
I know UAE is not a easy country, but am assured of the fact that I can't suffer in this country irrespective of the challenges I face. I have been around for about four days and am learning the system gradually.
UAE is a system that you follow just the way a child goes through kindergarten and move to the University and graduate. If you follow the system you will enjoy the country, but if you feel there is dirhams on the street of Dubai for you to pick you will go home depressed and dejected.
Am a very focused person with vision and determination and I know what am aiming for.
I came to UAE to follow the system and make a name , it might not be easy now but in a couple of years there will be testimony to make. I will be registering for CNA in a couple of weeks to start the process alongside the job that I will be starting in a week time.

As for those saying I can't make it here in Dubai, let me remind you one thing that you are not my God, only him knows my yesterday, today and tomorrow. What you believe is what happens to you, since I was born I don't believe in the word called failure, my only word is success. No matter how many times you fall be rest assured that you will definitely stand up. Dubai is not my final point , it is just a step to my final destination.

As for the dude saying am a scam and there is no way visa can be processed for 150k, I pity you try and get informed and always research widely. I will advice you to visit travnook.com and see for yourself that a UAE visa is 125k to process. The owner of the site is an Ugandan not a Nigerian. And I can tell you that the problem with Nigeria is not the leaders but Nigerians because we don't trust ourselves again because everybody that post on nairaland is seen as a scam .
If an Ugandan man can process a visa with less that 150k, my friends in Nigeria and Dubai were charging me 250-450 for a visa.

Finally I will be closing the thread because the aim of the thread has been fulfilled. Those that need to learn from my experience at Cotonou should learn from it, that is the reason for the thread. Thanks again, good night and God bless.
God will bless you in that Dubai. I am so angry with the negative comments on this thread.

People assume that because things didn’t work out for them, then it can’t work out for others. Life and success is about taking calculated risk.

I know a lot of Nigerians that are working in DFC, and other great organizations in Dubai.

Op, I like your mindset.

This same thing happened to me in 2014 when I finished my NYSC and was planning of relocating to Lagos for greener pastures. My friends discouraged me with all manner of stories.

Within me I knew what I wanted and I knew it won’t come easy. I did smaller jobs just to gain experience. The first job I got as an Office Manager, I sometimes cleaned the office and bought food for the CEO. It was a very small office.

Guess what, it was that experience that opened the door for the multinational company I am working now.

God still rules in the affairs of men. Just seek his presence and he will guide every steps you take.

Today the same friends that discouraged me from coming to Lagos are still stuck in unemployment, some are now planning to relocate to Lagos.

Op, you must succeed in Dubai. Just do the right thing, pray to God to show you favour, and desist from crime. Most especially, please avoid negative people, especially some bad Nigerians in Dubai.

Cheers!!!

My brother, our journey in life is different and so is our path. You’re a great man for simply rising above your family background and ensuring that you are a graduate against all odds.

Work hard
Have faith in God
Don’t let your circumstance define you.
Don’t be ashamed of your journey, it would inspire others.
Keep hope alive.

You’re better than those doing crime to survive.

Once again, you’re not a failure and don’t ever see yourself as a failure, even in your weakest moment.

franchasng:
almost all ladies are bad sexually to be honest. Even the so called virgins, the kind bad bad things they do in place of penetrative sex will shock the devil lol


The best way to survive in women matters is to zero your mind and assume all ladies are the same in being bad sexually, then focus on other qualities in her you desire and just assume she is a fuckrito lol, and if at the end she is not, good for her



The only red flag I see are the abortions. Why can't ladies insist on condoms and after sex pillshuh Condom remains the best dear ladies and gents reading.


I don't enjoy sex with condom is all lies, bring out money and buy quality original condom and it will feel almost like natural flesh. Stop endangering your lives, STDs and STIs are real. If pregnancy doesn't scare you, STDs should.


Hepatitis B is more dangerous than HIV and its transmitted mostly via sex oh.



My brother, unless God speaks to you loud and clear, just move on. she traveling abroad or being from a rich family doesn't matter much because most times it's useless to their husband at the end, just pray for God's favor in what u do, u will travel beyond boundaries without the help of any woman, so marry for real qualities than all those frivolities that most times don't even help their husband one bit at the end. Marrying into rich family as a guy most times don't help, it only increases your bill from your in-laws cos whenever they have a function they expect private jet from you lol.

My wife's dad is well to do, a former political office holder but I tell u, it has not added a dime to my life lol, in fact it's useless and thank God I didn't marry her for that cos I for de regret by now lol.



I don't support abortion at all, but if na just fvck she been de fvck, it's normal with ladies, even the virgin ones are fvcking without penetration, so don't be surprised
I love this.
