Romance / Re: Man’s Response To Girlfriend Demanding N250k Monthly Frm N800k Salary Goes Viral by BTCog: 4:36pm On Aug 07
Sometimes, I wonder how women reason. My wife has my ATM card and I don't query the withdrawals she makes as long as they for house upkeep. For every major expense including her shop rent I do the transfers accordingly. However, despite all these, she came up with a demand for monthly pay. I had to shun her with every anger in me. Ladies, please keep to what is working for your home and stop copying everything you see on social media. You can turn that same lovely guy to a lion overnight, if you don't take care.

Good decision. However, make enquiries to find a good school with with good discipline not these schools that pay millions for children in nursery school.

Meanwhile, though I have an opportunity of taking my family abroad but I have refused my wife's persuasions. My children will only go for their masters or second degree abroad, not now please. I don't want to lose all that I have toiled for.
Family / Re: Advise, My Father Sold His House And Moved To The Village Now He Wants To Leave by BTCog: 6:23pm On Jan 27
Don't allow his pride control you or ruin you. Please, forget about what your cousins or anyone will say and do what is convenient for you. He sold his property and moved to village because he felt age was no longer on his side. Let him remain in the village. Open a business for him and get a sales girl to work for him. Whenever he is bored, he can come to city and visit you. He had too much time to gossip in the village because he was idle.
If you spend 1M to get a 3-bedroom flat for him, you will still be spending 500k monthly to feed him take care of his responsibilities but if you open a business for him, he will take care of himself.

Travel / Re: My Flight Has A Stopover At Dublin, Do I Need A Transit Visa? by BTCog: 6:21pm On Jul 21, 2023
elloso:
Hello fam.
I will be traveling to the UK soon (Scotland precisely) and I intend to book a flight (Turkish Airline) that has a stopover at Istanbul and Dublin.
Do I need a transit visa to go through Dublin?

Please I really need your reply 🙏

No, you don't. Even if you are sleeping over, the airline should take charge. Just follow instructions. The airport staff will be there directing you to the connecting flight route. Just present your passport and tickets and you will be directed to where to board the next flight. For stopovers that require sleeping over, you will need to get the hotel details from the first Airport.

Career / Re: Injustice At Workplace; Should I Resign Or Hang On? by BTCog: 2:39pm On Jul 20, 2023
LithiumSupplier:
1. I work in a project development company.

2. I am at the assistant manager level.

3. I do most of the work; from designing and maintaining company's websites, to clerical works such document preparation, oversee environmental consulting jobs, to troubleshooting company's systems and many more.

4. The problem is that the company does not appreciate all my efforts. They push every blame on me.

The owner and his son are just so inconsiderate. For example, I was working on a project that required attachment of some sensitive documents.

Once it was time, I requested for the documents from the owner, instead he provided me with different documents entirely. Many times, he will shout at me for asking questions. So I assumed that he didn't want the documents out in the public.

While reviewing my work, the owner was okay with the attached documents until he decided to make presentation with the work to prospects.

As soon as the prospects registered dissatisfaction with the out of place documents (So to say), he called and started blasting me on the phone, calling me stup!d and stuff. He would always let me take the fall for his own mistakes all the time.

His son on the other hand is just too empty and overbearing. His father would always ask him to supervise any project I'm working on.
He would okay many things and I can't say otherwise.

When we present the project to his father and the father decides to query any part of the things which he okayed earlier, he will push all the blames on me and the father will call to nag and lambast me for things I know nothing about.

This has been going on for like 3 years now.

My regret was that I turned down an offer from a small oil company in Lagos last year and early this year too.

My current pay is 300,000 NGN without accommodation, while the Lagos' was 350,000 NGN with accommodation.

I'm currently in Abuja. I was scared of the traffic in Lagos.

I really don't know what to do anymore...

This issue is affecting my mental health.

This guy talks down on me anyhow without respect.

This is a guy that can't properly put together a common letter.

As plan B, I have set up two blogs and Google just approved Adsense application on one, while I'm working on the other one.
I have also set up Facebook pages and have grown to over 232,000 active followers.

I am also an environmental consultant with over 15 years experience, I also major in GIS and I design websites too.

I am married with 2 kids. What should I do?

The signs show that your time is up. However, you will need to prepare your grounds before you quit. Good luck! I worked in a company that I practically carried the company on my head like my father's business. I sponsored my trainings but all I got was "thank you for the good job" and never a financial compensation. Sometimes, I supervised operations where I was the least paid. I endured all until I got an offer outside the country. Everybody was confused and the big boss wanted to give me a better offer but it was too late. Well I still support them remotely so that the company doesn't collapse.

There's no problem about any policing system including local vigilantes except corruption. Corruption and criminality can definitely reduce to less than 20 % if at least 80% of the population is gainfully employed.
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: What A Man That Earns 100k+ Told Me When I Wanted To Borrow N500 From Him by BTCog: 4:58pm On Jun 27, 2023
FeelGoodAlways:
Times are definitely not nice to Nigerians. The streets are not smiling. People are not happy. You could see from their sad faces.

I am an undergraduate working as a security guard at night to help myself financially.

So due to fuel situation and the economic effects, I have been trekking to and fro the place, because no money and the transport is very expensive now. Today, I didn't feel very strong to trek back to the place due to malaria seriously holding me down. I approached my neighbor who is earning over 100k+ salary, minus side hustling to help me with transport fare to go to work. Guess what? He started by laughing cheapishly. When he paused, he narrated how he trekked back from work on Friday, trekked to and fro work today being Monday and not sure how he'll get back to office tomorrow morning being Tuesday. That the new transport fare has eaten deeper into his small earning that even before middle of the month, the salary had long gone. Last night, the children drank Garri to go to bed and this morning, the children left to school drinking only Pap and he put only N100 Akara for each in their lunch boxes. Sad story. He added that due to the economic impact of fuel subsidy removal, retrenchment letters for 3 of his colleagues in the office are ready to be served by the end of the month, and more to go.

Who will rescue us, we don't know? Sad truth is that the money that will be generated from this subsidy removal will not be put to use to the benefit of the commoners. It's just a plot to generate more money for the elites/thieves.

Could you believe that nobody could borrow me N500 in the whole compound? Incredible.

Well, even when I wasn't feeling strong to trek coupled with all I'm passing through financially, I just had to trek which I did.

I picked up this job because instead of sleeping freely at night and when the rent expires, the landlord would come after me + plus all the bills heaped on me, I could rather spend the nights here reading my books, sleep (even though not as recommended) and still earn some money no matter how small.

Finally, I would say do well to help people when you can. People are going through a lot. Not untill the start falling in the street.

*In mama P. voice* - "God will see us through".

God bless all hard working Nigerians no matter the tough times we face.
I wish added at least your email in the post. I wanted to ask you something. btcmastery2k@gmail.com

Politics / Re: Igbo Should Stop Playing Bad Politics – Ngige by BTCog: 4:17pm On May 24, 2023
When Igbos massively voted Shagari, it wasn't bad politics.
When Igbos massively voted OBJ, it wasn't bad politics.
When Igbos massively voted Yar'Adua, it wasn't bad politics.
When Igbos massively voted Jonathan, it wasn't bad politics
But when Igbos massively vote their own whom majority of Nigerians support, it then becomes bad politics because when everyone hates you, you must hate yourself as well.

As a starter, gather all the experiences you can gather.
Strive to participate in trainings where you can be issued certificates and be very sure you learn the job very well.
In your 4th to 5th year package yourself for another job if your present job is not doing you well.
From the 7th year, if you have certificates to back up your experiences, then start looking for jobs outside the country.
The sky is your limit.

If you're a graduate and you have technical skills with at least 5yrs experience, try and get papers (certificates) that can backup your experience, even if they are fake, then go online. Oyibo loves papers. My problem is that many people carrying phones and laptops do not know how to maximise Google.
