ppogba: The guy is deceiving himself about traveling out and you seem to be urging him on in his self deceit. If traveling out is that easy, Nairaland will go extinct.
If his dream is to travel abroad, I would not discourage him from working towards achieving his dream.
Supreme145: I commented on a thread yesterday that was about how much that can last someone through the week, I posted that I can manage 3k for a week and I was literary dragged and trolled through the thread. Some accused me of lying while some said I still live with my parents, others saw my post as a scheme to accrue favour from people.
I never wanted to open a thread about this, but as God would have it, he blessed me ( Not from that thread) through Nairaland best roofer and known philanthropist @ money121 and @despian that sent me something to help with my school project. I managed to squeeze out a little money and branch to the market to get some food stuffs. Below is a detail of how I spent 3k on food stuffs that would last me a week.
Rice 1 mudu(8 cups) : #600 Beans 1 mudu(8 cups) : #900 Potato : #500 1/2 bottle of palm oil : #400( I add just enough to colour the food) 1 packet of maggi : #250 Powder pepper :#100 Onions :#100 Airtime :#100 Total :#2950 The remaining #50 is for Chelsea match later in the evening.
While I didn't make this post to glorify poverty but it seems some people are oblivious to the situation of things in the country at the moment. Apparently the hardship levels is skewed, based on the values that people were quoting on that thread. While some food stuffs are at a premium at the moment, there are some of us that cut our suit according to our ankara.
Next is how I manage the foodstuff to last me a week in no particular order.
Day one: Rice and beans Day two: beans and potatoes Day three: only Rice Day four: porridge potatoes Day five : only beans Day six: Rice and beans Day seven: potatoes and oil Fortunately the stomach does not disclose its contents.
I iterate through the list during the week, I spend only #100 on airtime during the week. I don't call any body and spend #25 daily for 250 mb night sub which I use to apply for jobs. I wait for the following week when it gets exhausted. I use salt as makeshift paste and patronize Hausa black soap for bathing. I've my faze cap to conceal my overgrown hair, though my lord luggard esque moustache have a way of bringing my legs outside. I fetch well water, boil and sieve it, in that way home made Eva water is set, who knows I might own a pure water factory in future so I'm practicing now.
Added plus: My Girlfriend It's a popular opinion on nairaland and the country in general that most Nigerian girls are useless and are out to bring nothing but misfortune and misery to our lives. I beg to disagree because the ones around me (mom, siblings and gf) are anything but useless.
My current girlfriend is a frugal spender and taught me how to spend prudently. She taught me how to cook thereby cutting the amount I spend on food to a significant level. I can give her just #1500 and she would prepare two pots of stew and soup to last me a week. Like my Oga @chatinet would say there are still women that can go to the market with 3k and come back with two nylons.
While other nairalanders open thread open threads about their parasitic girlfriends, mine is actually helping me through a difficult phase in my life. Sadly despite my pitiful standard of living, I still have people that I'm better than and see me as a senior man. Its that bad.
I'm not comfortable with my condition so I'm looking for jobs so as to improve my standard of living. My fellow nairalanders help me to start eating with meat by offering my any job available. I'm a graduate of Statistics/Computer Science (bsc ed) and a web developer.
So the doubting Thomas's here's a breakdown of my 3k weekly spending.
Modified: Obviously some people are still doubting my credibility. I stay in north bank, Makurdi Benue State for those asking.
YourWriter: I met this girl in the beginning of 2021 and our bond of friendship has grown strong since then. I never had the intention of dating her to start with, but as times goes on I found myself catching feelings.
I really do want to let my feelings known but I'm scared of rejection. Besides, this girl is like an anti-relationship activist. Most of the times her posts on WhatsApp is mostly against love and how she's not ready to get into relationship.
Also, as a beautiful person she has lots of options which includes rich guys with lexus and Benz. Although I'm also not broke but I'm far below the level of her suitors. What I could say is my only advantage is that I'm handsome.
Should I just go ahead against all odds and let my feelings known or I should just let the feelings die?
Just let her know your feeling towards her. Her chances of rejecting you is very slim. Don't give up and don't be afraid of rejections. Believe in yourself
Thank you for making out time to view my thread. I'm hoping I can get an advice from you.
I'm a 26 Years. I work in a company that pays me 85K NGN monthly.
The salary isn't paying my bills in any way, the company isn't productive, I feel stuck and limited each time I go to work. Also, the environment is toxic with gossips, cold wars, etc.
I've been applying for jobs elsewhere but I keep getting rejected. I've adjusted my CV several times but still the same.
I'm considering resigning even though I don't have another job offer yet but I fear my debts. I have some side hustles I use to support my monthly earnings but I fear it may not be enough to pay my debts monthly and fend for myself, siblings, and family generally.
The whole thing is making me lack motivation but I still try to be up for my family.
I want to travel out of the country and search for better opportunities but my resources are limited at the moment.
I have some skillsets, I'm considering venturing into entrepreneurship but I don't have the required capital to get started
I don't know what to do.
Kindly advise me on what to do. I'd appreciate it.
My candid advice is for you to hold on to 85K NGN monthly job and side hustles till you have the financial resources to travel out. You would get a better paying job latter on in life by God's grace
GOD has reasons for creating individuals to be males and females respectively. He is GOD and not man. He is not prone to mistakes. If He created Di (for example) to be a female so be it. Di should not wake up one beautiful morning and claim that she suddenly realizes that she is a male and starts assuming the personality of a male. Di can deceive the world that she is a he (male) but whenever she sees her reproductive organ, it would remind her that she is originally a female. No matter the number of surgical operations she performs on her body to assume the likeness of a man, Di cannot peform surgical operations on her female reproductive organs to replace them with male reproductive organs. Di cannot deceive her Creator
adubam: I just want to share this painful and bitter scenario to job seekers out there.
So we posted a job advert and over four hundred applied. Three were selected for interview and only one appeared.
Salary is about 150k for a start.
So this applicant came and did well in both oral and written interview but she was not given the job because of this:
She was given a paper to apply for the job. Excellent write up though but she messed up the whole paper with cancellation and instead of asking for a fresh paper to start over again; she even went ahead and handed over it like that to my boss.
My boss concluded that she was an untidy and scatty fellow.
And that was all.
Please take note of this and try not to make this mistake.
God grant you your desired jobs.
Justice should be tempered with mercy. Your boss should have pardoned her shortcomings and employed her since she did well in both oral and wriiten interview. I pray the lady gets another job.
xynerise: The Lagos State Police have arrested Adeyeye Oluwatosin,the 23 year old man who was kissing a minor in a viral video. This was posted on their Twitter handle..
Xj2020: He is a very principled man. Very religious and doesn't play with his God been a devoted Muslim. Extremely rich and bless with four grown up children with the second of his children getting married in a month time.
He retired from the bank 2 years ago having risen to the pinnacle of his career in the banking industry having served in different capacities for almost 35 years.
Yes, the wife is uncultured and ill-mannered. He knows already and has been managing her all these years.
He is presently in court seeking to divorce his wife and has vowed that nothing would stop him from divorcing his wife.
My question is what could possibly make a man thrown in the towel and walk out of his marriage after so many years together?
I will like to know.
Your uncle may be tired of managing his wife's uncultured and ill-mannered behaviour or he may have caught her with another man.
Tajbol4splend: No question about that, very humble, the kinda woman guys should go for, kinda woman who can do well for herself.
Rated R @RatedRestrictid:
"This guy asked me out on a date and I met him there. When we were about to leave he ordered an Uber. I didn't want to make him feel bad so I left in the Uber with him. He dropped me off at mine and left so I ordered bolt back to the where we had our date and drove my car home."
I feel that the lady (@RatedRestrictid) did well on her first date with the guy. She made the guy feel good by leaving with him in an Uber and allowing the guy to drop her off at her place. She then came back to drive her car home. Relationship between a man and a woman is a gradual process. I believe she would inform the guy that she has a car if they choose to meet again.

snapdragon00: Hello nairalanders, so i will be traveling by air from Abujaj to Lagos next week. I'm having some kind of feelings, any tips for first time fliers ? Like do's and Don't s.
Congratulations. The taking off and the landing of a plane are crucial moments. When the plane is taking off you may experience 'blocked ears' and may not hear clearly for a while but it would clear when you are on air. Just be prayerful
Girlsavage: Lady Gets Mocked By Her Friends After Graduating Before Her, 2yrs Later See What Happened

erubati: Hello nairalanders, Please as I am typing this short piece, am seriously boiling with rage as am unable to sleep. There is a building beside my house where one of the occupants is always putting on his gen at any slightest opportunity of NEPA outage.
The most annoying aspect is that he uses the generator deep into the night and the noise usually affects my sleep. Presently, there is light in the area but I guess they did not recharge their prepaid meter so he switched on his generator since around 7pm and he is yet to switch it off as am typing.
Is a tenant given the right to switch in his gen overnight while denying others the right to good night rest. I am thinking of reporting him to the appropriate Lagos State authority but don't know which one can take it up seriously.
You could forward your noise complaint to dg@nesrea.gov.ng

Since then I feel something for her, I dont know how but I really do love her, but she is married.. I really don't know how to go about this, seems like am involved emotional to her! I wish I & her could be dating ...pls advice me how to become emotional distance from her...

Kindly focus on your selling business and stop and falling in lust with married women. Rather, fall in love with a single/unmarried lady. Business and lust do not go together.
Revolva: Pere has remained unsettled ever since Whitemoney voluntarily decided to cook and serve his fellow housemates as He felt it was Whitemoney’s strategy to avoid being nominated for eviction.
After emerging as the new Head of house, Pere’s foremost agenda has been to stop Whitemoney from cooking for the house.
He started implementing his plans by not letting Whitemoney cook.
In a video shared by a blog on Instagram, the head of the house of the week, Pere who is regarded as the Major General of the house was seen waiting for Whitemoney to dish him a plate of BBQ, Major General pere was caught shamelessly waiting for a plate of BBQ from a chef he already fired.
On Pere being antagonistic, White Money in a conversation with Jackie B and JMk said the new HOH feels threatened by him saying is not his fault to be very creative.
Pere will always have a crafty wild card mentality. Pere should have strategically avoided eviction by entering the kitchen and cooking for 23 housemates with ease so that he can strategically emerge as one of the top 5 finalist. White money will emerge as one of the top 5 finalist whether Pere like it or not.
