Yes o. The man tried and left inheritance for us. Still jointly owned by all the kids

very nice.

if I may ask what was it

Just a few days ago a friend of mines uncle passed away long story short he found out his uncle left him a few assets, some landed properties , a few betting shops in the north and a guest house. It was a really crazy day my guy couldn't stop screaming he was overwhelmed by the joy because a close family lawyer gave us a total valuation of the assets and it was massive I mean eight digits.

So do people of this generation or former still believe in passing down what they owned.
It could be your parents or like my friends case uncle(extended family)
This is a good way to pass wealth on. I mean the US and Europe practice such and just a Google Search you would see thousands of family owned business or assets passed down that ended up becoming massive investments.

So anyone with similar experience or if you know someone who did please share.

Do you have any?

Mine wasn't me though but a friend of my cousin who he always called a hard man but that very day I heard he took just a bottle an he as light as a kite. Guy didn't even remember a thing. I laughed that day though.

And I saw in the bbnaija house similar craze.

Share yours or any drink for that matter that puts you in an off state so to say.

In summary to those who have safe sex responsibly whether with multiple women or not

Let's educate our selves

We don't want unwanted pregnancies or diseases. so share let others learn besides we all know most of us fvck everyday. so how do you enjoy the safety balance

I totally disagree with this. Marriage is not a standard to measure maturity or how responsible a person is. I'm not endorsing the OP play boy behavior, however there's lot of single people who are more responsible than some married folks. There's also a lot of married Playboy's, would you say they are highly responsible on account of them being married?
Besides this days we see people just in and out of married, or father children they can't care for, will you call that being matured/responsible?
And why most you take responsibility for another person. It's hard enough taking responsibility for your self and your immediate family. You can't shame a person for refusing to take up a leech.
Lol. So single men are not men because they aren't married?
This uneccessary pressure put on young people is the reason why we have broken homes littered all over.

I second this.

Please I am not irresponsible yes I said playboy but that's in the sense that I end up with different girls most times. I use precaution and go for check ups regularly
None of these girls have been pregnant. I just don't want an issue that I can not handle like getting married and dipping outside which may actually make me look irresponsible. or worse

Sugardick:
op don't mind all those idiots trying to fück with your mind talking about irresponsibility and childish mentality. You are only responsible for yourself and your immediate family, do what works for you and makes you happy. I'm in your shoes too and I can't stand staying with a girl for 2 days talkless of forever.

na only foolish man dey fall for family pressure or criticism on marriage. infact they no born anybody well for my family to just mention marriage for my ear because I dey change am for them.

Thanks bro

I tell you that idea of staying with an unknown girl all your life is frightening.

What happens if you don't like her presence anymore or she becomes a pest do I just leave her like that?

Did Paystack employees own equity in the startup. Like our foreign counterparts do.

Did employee cash out?

Because it was not stated in the media.

MufasaLion:
Dominican Republic!

okay thanks.
Allison madukwe comes to mind
maybe me and her could save Nigeria money on the island...haha

horlahsunbo225:
Saint kit Because of stronger passport but I prefer Antigua

okay thanks
yes I heard of Antigua too. seems like they are a good destination
do they have a strong passport. that is also priority

Has anyone experienced this. This is where I find myself. And I keep getting talks like it's a bad thing. Talks like your last has married before you shouldn't you be ashamed. Some even go to extent of proclaiming abomination.

For me all this one's no concern me. I am a playboy at heart and will marry at my own time or not at all. Depends on how I feel.

Peace of Mind and Freedom is Priceless. Don't Take it away from me.

So have you had similar experience please share

Dual Citizenship is bae
Which of these island countries do you think I should consider and why.
In case I need a place away from hectic Nigeria. Any big gain.

Founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates’ cash in the bank can currently buy the Nigerian stock market. Most recent data postulates that the tech billionaire currently holds about $59.1 billion in the bank, far surpassing Nigeria’s Stock Exchange valuation of $53.7 billion (N20.4 trillion) at the time this report was drafted.

Nice read

For centuries, the Southeastern region of Nigeria has practiced what is known today as stakeholder capitalism — a construct that businesses must elevate the interests of communities, workers, consumers, and the environment alongside those of shareholders. The Igbos, the predominant ethnic group in the region, are known for the Igbo apprenticeship system (IAS), a communal enterprising framework where successful businesses develop others, and over time provide capital and give away their customers to the new businesses. The implication is that few businesses grow to become very dominant, since they keep relinquishing market share, and in doing so, they accomplish one thing: a largely equal community where everyone has opportunities, no matter how small.
As the world explores how to institutionalize stakeholder capitalism — to implement more inclusive, just, and equitable economic systems that work for all, not just a few — we should consider the tenet and the spirit of the Igbo apprenticeship system. The IAS has demonstrated that markets could deepen management accountability, competitiveness, and profitability, while at the same time, anchoring shared prosperity. The result is that communities experience inclusive growth with empowered workers and customers helping firms deliver sustainable fiduciary results. In other words, creating value for all stakeholders — investors, workers, customers, communities, and the environment — is not a zero-sum game; empowered stakeholders empower markets of the future.
The IAS has been recognized as the largest business incubator in the world as thousands of ventures are developed and established yearly through it. Innocent Chukwuma, the founder of Innoson Motors, the largest indigenous automobile manufacturing company by sales in Africa, is a product of IAS. So is Ifeanyi Ubah, the owner of one of the largest private fuel depots in Africa, Capital Oil & Gas, which has the biggest private oil jetty in Nigeria, an 18-ARM loading gantry, ocean-going vessels, a storage facility of over 200 million liters, and hundreds of distribution tankers. Cosmas Maduka, who controls Coscharis Group, a conglomerate with diverse interest in manufacturing, automobiles, and petrochemicals, also passed through the system. Unlike Ubah and Chukwuma, who finished primary education but dropped out at the secondary level, Maduka did not finish primary school. Until recently, that was typical; education has instead been the apprenticeship model, where an individual learns the mechanics of markets and business secrets under a master.
At the core of it, the IAS is a business philosophy of shared prosperity where participants co-opetitively participate to attain economic equilibrium. Accumulated market competitive advantages are constantly weighted and calibrated out, via dilution and surrendering of market share, enabling social resilience and the formation of livable communities. These are engineered by major participants funding their competitors, where success is measured based on support offered to others to thrive, and not by absolute market dominance. For centuries in the Igbo nation, they have kept this culture alive by reminding everyone of a popular saying, “onye aghala nwanne ya,” which means, “none should leave his or her brethren behind,” in the communities and in the markets.
The key focus of IAS is to prevent poverty by mass scaling opportunities for everyone. Igbos believe that when a child is born, he or she belongs to the community. (In fact, Igbos name their children “Nwaoha,” which means “a child of the community.”) Parents bring the children into the world; communities ensure the children succeed and thrive. If anything happens to the parents or they are incapable of raising the child, someone else in the community will step in. Typically, through the apprenticeship system, the child goes through a process of living with a new family, and then over time will transition to working in the master’s business. After a few years, he or she is “settled”; the master willingly relinquishes market share by providing customers, funding to an obvious future competitor, and other things necessary for the mentee to have a thriving venture, with no equity in the new business.
In a very practical sense, you have a scenario where a man, trading in a city, returns to his village, picks three children (usually boys), who might have lost their fathers or the families are too poor to train them, and decides to ensure they have meaningful lives. Those children serve him for some years — a period of apprenticeship — and upon completion, he invites his kinsmen, business partners, and others as he “settles” them. If he was holding a 10% market share in that specific market, by the time he is done, he might be holding only 7%, releasing 3% to the boys. For him, the growth of his company is not what matters; it is that the apprentices do well. But he doesn’t stop there. He sends them business opportunities, making sure they can thrive independently. In some cases, the masters may exit the sector entirely, in order to allow the others to thrive. Ubah, for instance, built a spare parts business in Ghana and Congo, but went back to his native town in Nnewi (Nigeria), brought in young people, and trained them in the business. Over time, he eventually left the sector for them. Chukwuma did the same with his prior manufacturing ventures.
As the world discusses inequalities with the push on stakeholder capitalism, the IAS has handled the equality part for centuries, making the Igbo nation a relative stable community in Nigeria. While Nigeria has average literacy rate of 62%, most states within the IAS record excess of 90%. In addition, the IAS is structured to ensure that everyone has opportunity and support, and by doing that, it prevents extreme poverty and inequalities in communities. The implication is that largely equal communities have improved educational attainment and created stable societies.
Looking at the IAS from a pure shareholder-centric capitalistic mindset, the system may seem defective — until one realizes that the shareholder here is the whole community, and through this model, most Igbo communities have built collective wealth. The Igbos came out of the Biafra war, in 1970, with their assets largely frozen and with little to begin post-war lives. Many Igbo communities started community leagues to build schools and clinics, and elders pushed men to share opportunities to help their brethren. Over decades, that spirit has resulted in enduring economic wealth.
That said, many have noted that the Igbo apprenticeship system could be reformed to provide better protection to the young people who become apprentices to mitigate any abuse from their masters. Having a registry for contracts administered by community elders with municipal power to enforce redress will ensure that contracts on settlements are honored once the young person has served as agreed. But most acknowledge that formalizing the process with written contracts and bringing governments onboard will distort the natural equilibrium where people derive pride that they helped to uplift younger people.
There are many lessons for the world from the IAS system that could elicit new changes in the contemporary capitalist system. IAS improves competition by making it possible to bring new players in a sector, benefiting customers. It brings a new mindset on value creation, going beyond financials to include sustaining communities and families. More so, it creates wealth for everyone. Largely, the Igbo apprenticeship system is a practical demonstration of the ubuntu philosophy — “the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity.” It may not be scored high when benchmarked on some Western business and economic frameworks, but for the Igbos and some Africans, it is a working system which has brought equality and peaceful coexistence in communities, making sure that no one leaves his or her brethren behind. Those are the evidential ideals of stakeholder capitalism.

So I came across this lovely story online...


Our love story is one about stolen jewelry and the
quest to find it. So my housekeeper stole my
jewelry and then I got her arrested. Her husband
came to bail her out but I refused to budge until I
got my jewelry back. Now her husband is the
executive chef to some ‘big boy’ that lived in
Ikoyi. The chef had access to resources that made
my punishing the girl difficult for him and hence
the ability to retrieve my stuff was futile. Then out
of the blues, a mutual friend calls me to inquire
about my domestic issues.


I came to find out he knew the ‘big boy’ who had
complained to him about the one FCMB chick that
was disturbing his cook’s wife which is resulting
in his cook not being focused which meant, he
the ‘big boy’ wasn’t being served properly at
home. I was completely disgusted so I took his
number and called him. We agreed to meet at the
George Hotel to discuss how to resolve this
matter whereby I got my jewelry back and for him,
his cook can resume his duties of cooking his
special meals.


At the George hotel, I arrived there first. Then this
“big boy” walked in a little later and we
connected like we were old friends. We spoke
about anything and yet nothing. We met at the
hotel at about 7.30pm and finished from there at
about midnight and, relocated our ‘very important’
discussions to the Wheatbaker where we stayed
till 2.30am. So the question is did I recover my
jewelry? I’m sure you will agree that the heavens
blessed me with jewelry beyond my imaginations.


Moral...You can meet your significant other in very unusual ways.

Consider a scenario where Mr A gets a Job maybe at a startup and when time for discussing of compensation comes the ceo offers you an option of Equity(stake in the company stock that means in the likely future there is a probability of getting an opportunity to cash out big) or a full salary every month(a constant fee till you retire)

Which would you prefer or advice for?

I don't know I keep hearing this being used in some particular sector and in most foreign companies. Don't know do Nigerian firms go on retreats

Any body have experience in this or knows someone who did? What was it like.

Please are there. I always see them being used interchangeably

beeblack:
Tramadol is normal drug, but it just that people abuse it.



It comes in various gram which person needs to check b4 taking it. It is good to ask for prescription b4 taking it.

But people like to abuse drugs anyhow, especially my guys from northern side, I have seen where a person finished a bottle of ordinary coughline at once

so how would you say I use it to avoid abuse?

So I have heard many bad experience of people taking tramadol but does that mean there is no better way.

Maybe by taking few tablets. Someone once told me take less sugar before you take it. not sure how true that is.

Yes they are the bad side like addiction or falling terribly ill. vomiting. but they should be ways to use it without problem

See not all guys are studs or stallions or what ever you call them. The thing is tram works to keep the Johnson up and going. So medical experts or those with experience can share story on how yours went down let's Learn.
