Anyone you do badboys can still pick you up and demand you pay them. Oga OP should go ahead and build. Buy truck of cement from source and build a makeshift warehouse within the site. Economize very well. Buy all you iron rods from one source and demand discount. Sand too. Block is now N500 and above.

1 trip of sharp sand #40k
1 bag of Supaset Cement #5,450
1 trip of stone (magi) #80k
6 solid and 9 hole block same price @ #400/block
5 solid and 6 hole block same price @ #330/block
12 mm rod #4500
10 mm rod #3700

25m is a lot of money, just follow the process and be smart with job pricing/costing

UnfairLife7:
have you done DNA for yourself? do you know your true father? you can't be demanding for DNA test on a child when you yourself never know your fate

That is the trend these days

Valoromega:
My wife and I are expecting our first child, so currently I'm saving up money before the baby comes, we are also trying to get baby things of almost 400k.

But she wants me to buy Christmas rice for her mom. I've already decided that I'm not buying anything for anyone this December, including my own mom. But she wants me to buy for her mom which I refused becauze my baby is more important.
Mind you, she has elder ones who can't even get anything for their mom this December (she's the youngest). I just lied to her that I'm broke and I don't have any money. But I have close to 1.7 million which I want I to save for the baby and also get a car for when the baby comes.

I'm I making the right decision by ignoring everyone this December or should I take like 100k and just buy a bag of rice and share to the mom.

Personally I don't want to spend a dime on anyone because my child is the most important thing right now

do DNA first before you start dragging who/what is most important. E get why sha

This only made me realize how this site has become a part of me without knowing

Wow!

OmugwoAunty:
Nairaland, please what should I do?

I gave birth 9 months ago and for some reason, my mom never expressed interest in visiting me and my child. She is a new wife now and I heard from some family members that when she wanted to come, her new husband said ‘your daughter has other people around, why are you worrying yourself’.

I did not take it personally at all. My mother has never been a dependable person. Me and my mom still talk everyday and my child is always on her status. This is her ONLY grandchild.

My mom’s elder sister’s (my aunty) youngest child is moving to my area. My aunty said that she’ll visit me during the move, and come and hold baby. She reached out to my mom and even told my mom that if they plan it, they can visit me together. My mom and my aunty are VERY close. I even consider my aunty my second mom in a way.

Suddenly, my mom starts calling me, saying she wants to plan her visit. I say okay. But with work and everything, my aunty will get here before her. She started telling me not to let my aunty into my house, saying that my aunty is a husband snatcher etc. she said my aunty will destroy my home. I tell her I don’t care about that. She started calling their mutual friends and telling them to tell me that my aunty is a husband snatcher. I did not fall for that.

Frustrated, she called my aunty and said that the truth is that my husband is uncomfortable. She said that MY husband is not from our town and that my husband’s people don’t like visitors. She said that I did not tell her about this out of respect.

My aunty called me and was apologizing, saying that she did not know. I responded and said that this is a lie. I even put my husband on the phone. Here’s my mistake - I sent her a screenshot showing my mom saying that she’s a husband snatcher and that’s why I should not let her into my home.

My aunty and I now agreed that we should let peace reign and that she won’t visit. She said she will still like to see me and we can meet somewhere. MATTER SUPPOSE TO END.

My mom decided to bring my aunty husband into this. She told my auntys husband that his wife is not respecting my husband’s wishes. My auntys husband now sent her my screenshot saying that he knows the real reason and that your child doesn’t even support you.

The screenshot has shattered my mom. She feels betrayed. My siblings who live with my mother are calling me a betrayer. I want to salvage the relationship between my siblings and I, not so much my mother. I have not spoken to any of them since the screenshot.

What do I do? How do I approach this.

Ask your mother what happened to your father?

turmacs:
I knew that their relationship wouldn't last with that her yeye small breast 😹 They think it's all about answering "model" upandan. A model whose packages are not well modelled is nothing but a breakup waiting to happen, men no dey last for their hand.

Ikaeniyan0:
Foreigners are not willing to invest in Nigeria

If people are not really buying things, why's inflation still rising? Or is it the weakening of the naira that's really making inflation rise?

Exactly my thinking too.
If demand reduced and supply increased, ordinarily prices should go down but prices keep increasing.
This is just crazy

Heathrow or nothing.
Watch how some people will blame this on Peter Obi or Bola Tinubu.

MS247:



Let's get some facts clear

1: Your brother owes you nothing , you owe your brother cost of rent and accomodation

2: Your Parents owe you education, shelter and welfare until you are 18, or 21 when you are legally adult

3: If you want your brother to feed you after providing you accomodations, you humbly go to him and plead...

My dear brother, kindly assist me with feeding pending the time I get something doing fetching money and I can contribute to our welfare,

4: whenever you get any Money, try and refill your brothers cooking gas, buy some spaghetti or noddles, or Golden penny Semo, Vegetables Oil and present it to your brother

saintkel:
una just d open mouth d talk waaa......negotiate wetin?.....na goat business u de negotiate?...dis is marriage for Gods sake......my dad gave out her daughter n out of d 80k they paid for bride price, my dad just took 2k, one k for him, n 1k for his late wife.....na so e suppose be

My tradition allows only #20 naira for bride price, but you see those items on the list, you negotiate. Some traditions might say 1000 but the groom may choose to pay 1million. It depends on capacity. Its our culture. I value traditional marriage more than white wedding.

It is actually cheap. Note that those items can be negotiated. Thats the fun of it.

Loveabove:
Please I need you people's advice and I want to be as brief and straight to the point.

My sister gave birth to 2 children under circumstances I'm not to explain here. She took ill and passed away last month.

Since we were just two of us, (our parents are late) the responsibility of taking care of this little kids of 8 and 5 has fallen on me.

God knows I love these kids and would take them as my own but I don't have a job and struggling seriously to survive. It's killing since they became my full responsibility. I was thinking any of the extended family member or a good person would come up to take them.

House rent has expired and problems everywhere.

Since no where else to take them to, I'm considering taking them to the orphanage. It's not my fault please. If I have the means, i would keep them and take very good care of them as they are very dear to me.

Like i said, i love this two boys and would take them as mine, providing for them now as it should, is the challenge.

Their presence is even affecting the small thing I am doing, especially by way of paying attention to them.

Please advise me on what to do.

Like I said making a micro economist CBN governor and minister of finance is a tragedy waiting to happen

Buhari did same at least they were humble to accept they didn't know took time before taking decisions

Now we have a bad combination of arrogance and ignorant peo upple as heads of our CBN and finance ministers


my solution
Cutting money supply would harm the already struggling businesses ...so what to so

Pump money into key manufacturing sectors as low interest loans 10% max give them 8 months before Tenure starts

Make sure they are in this two areas 1) import substitution products 2) exportable products produced at below international market price

This would marke goods available to match money supply dragging down inflation creating jobs and increasing revenue for government


Note when I mean pump in money I don't mean 50billion 😂😂

I mean 5 trillion minimum

You understand the trade-offs, you spoke like an Economist. Create incentives to drive over production especially of exportable goods and let production march the demand.

beautifulsoul12:
Good morning everyone. I have to create this account to post this.
I can't even sleep at night lately.

I'm so tired and I need help right now. I have been doing this all by myself for so long now, without much complain but now, I need help.
Before I got married to my husband, I didn't know he had a seasonal mental health challenge, but not violent.

I met him in the university, he was in medicine, he had dreams, very ambitious, one of the best in his department, Working his way to travel abroad to continue his education. We were just friends, but I liked him. He kept on asking me out, but I declined. I wanted to graduate first.
We parted ways in year two. He changed school, so, I knew nothing about him again till years later.
Reconnected with him years later after graduation, to my greatest surprise, he didn't graduate, wasted all his resources and couldn't travel out. We still love each other, so we got married.
after the birth of my first child, I wanted to leave him, but I couldn't because he was a good man, but with too many changes and I was the only one who truly care and was there for him.
Three years ago, he became much better. He got a small job, Started bringing in little for upkeep. I saw change and I was happy. We had our second child last year after 8yrs.
Since early this year, the whole thing came up again. Since then, he became jobless again.
The financial burden is all on me. Right now, we can't afford to renew our rent.
I lost my business capital some times ago in wrong business, since then, it has been so much struggles.

I'm trying hard but it's not enough.
I'm thinking of working away, but to where? what about my children? Who will be there for them? What about him? But I'm tired of being in a marriage where I have to struggle for everything, where I can not depend on my man.
Pls, help us renew our house rent.

What do I do?

Just because he is now jobless and you are the breadwinner then he is mentally deranged.
Women and their attitude.
Madam you are the person pushing him to that point.
From the way you sounded here with statements like; he wasted all his resources pursuing abroad dreams, how you have been handling all finances, it his obvious you have denied him peace and pushed him to the point of depression with your mouth.
I have seen similar situations and almost nearly experienced one myself.
This your own side of the story is designed to paint you the perfect one and him the useless one. Remains his own side and the truth,
Until then stop frustrating the guy man.

Emperormartin:
You're right. That no 2 is spot on.

My married friend introduced me to a WhatsApp group of married people between the ages of 35-45...

Their only business in that Whatsapp group is talk about sex, sex and sex and how to hook up and have sex among one another. These are married women and men with kids.

I'm not married but I have to remove myself from the group because it's kinda painting me bad image of marriage institution.

The last straw why I left the group is when they were organizing orgies in one Hotel in our area. The orgies will start from Friday evening and throughout the weekend... I was man matched with some married women in their early 40's... I ran!!!

I've to delete myself from that group. I'm not a saint either but this kind of sin is beyond me

pls can you add me to that group?

emmaodet:
There are a sizeable middle class in Nigeria.

Any household earning $1,000 equivalent in Nigeria is in the middle class. Middle middle class.
Aside the 3 big cities in Nigeria - Lagos, PH, Abuja, any household of 500k per month is middle class on other towns and cities.
My area as an example, average decent 3 bedroom goes for 300-400k.
Average good primary school is 50k per term upward, land is 1.5m upward.
So a household of 6m per year should be able to manage their life very well.
To the best of my knowledge, the bulk of Nigeria's middle class are in the informal sector and not formal.
The percentage of salary earners earning 500k and above won't be more than 100k people max cutting across all sectors - oil and gas, maritime, aviation, IT, telecommunications, banking etc

This platform has loads of intelligent people. Nice justification

EnemyofGod2:
Be sincere.

In My place tans Amadi pot harcourt, this food goes up to N800 naira . fish 500, rice 200 why beans 100 naira.

Nairalander's.How much will you pay for this food in your area and where is your area ?

cheap!!! without, #300 Wow!!!

It has been predicted that in 2016, oil price at international market will fall to $20 per barrel.

If N2 could only be the difference as the present oil price is $36 against when it was brought low to N87 at $67 per barrel, then this current government are chronic thieves.

If we do the analysis well, 1 barrel is approximate to 120L, then the cost of 1 litre = $3.33 or N656.67.

1.72 percent of PMS can be seen in 1 litre of crude oil, therefore the price of PMS = N11.29.

Operating cost per litre = N10
Logistics| import duty =N9
Labour = N8
=

Total Cost of Petrol per litre = N42 (approx)

Please how come did they say it will be sold @ N85

more interesting times are here now

Your statistic may justify a particular location but cannot serve as a yardstick to classify one as a middle class.
My Location:
Rent : 360k (2 bed flat in a Middle class area)
Power : 60k (Prepaid meter@5k monthly)
Petrol/Diesel (car, business home) :
Break down (petrol): Car -15k weekly = 780k
Home - 10k weekly = 520k Install 2.5kva inverter with 450k to last for 3 years i.e 150k per year
Businesses - 30k weekly I don't understand this. Fuel for business is an overhead cost and should vary positively with Profit , this does not fit for a salary earner
Total for petrol : 2.86m 930k
Feeding : 1.08m at 3k daily
Miscellaneous : 1.5m for a single person this is high. 50k monthly is okay. i.e 600k per annum
Village People problems : 1m No go dey do pass your self; 300k is fine

Total is 3.33m...
500k monthly salary for 1 year is 6m.
you will have excess of 2m at the end of the year to invest in other sources of income.

Its all about cost of living. some areas in Nigeria, good 2 bedroom apartment for rent is around 240k, and you live close to your place of work with constant electricity. close to markets with cheap food items.

Food for thought:
A man is not rich by how much he has but by how much of his expenses he can cut short

Draslo:
Rent : 1.5m (2 bed flat in a Middle class area)
Power : 300k
Petrol/Diesel (car, business home) :
Break down (petrol): Car -15k weekly = 780k
Home - 10k weekly = 520k
Businesses - 30k weekly
Total for petrol : 2.86m
Feeding : 1.825m at 5k daily
Miscellaneous : 1.5m
Village People problems : 1m

Total is 8.68m...


My conclusion. You cannot earn 500k and claim middle class anymore. You can't even save and this is for a single person.
You can cut your coat according to your size but you definitely can't claim middle class anymore

Your statistic may justify a particular location but cannot serve as a yardstick to classify one as a middle class.

@Seun make me a mod let me spice here up a little.
I agree with poster. Update on front page is rather slow and it makes here boring
