When Obasanjo said that " even Jesus can save Nigeria , even if the make him de president today corruption will still continue". People where attacking for blaspheming and all of that. The only way Nigeria can be better is dividing de country not even changing de name. De country should be divide into 6. So every region will fight hard to compete with the others in terms of GDP and and GNP
Well that's your business.
A corrupt man is a corrupt man, no matter where you take him to he's still a corrupt man.
Dividing the country isn't the best solution but it might help.
I don't have much to say to you, people like you respect actions than voices, till we meet my friend.

I won't shut up, I'm only been realistic. Not everyone has de boldness to speak up like dis. From your statement u don't stay in Abuja. Every single organization in Abuja has runs. People prefer to Tru back yard in Nigeria. For instance, I wen to do my passport, it didn't take me 1 hr n I was done, why bcu I knew some one dere, he charged me extra 15k n I paid. More than 50 did Same thing. N people were much outside. So my oga don't be bitter; if u are in rome behave like romance. I do travel to u.k. n I must tell u I can't try such , bcuz dere system is organize
Continue Bro Continue.

Those who think they are wise are actually foolish.

Build a corrupt environment for your children and defend yourself like you would do in your old age, you will also take the blame from yourself then.

U.K is admired by you and others not because they have a good government but because they have good citizens.

Rejoice in your corrupt activities while it lasts and also blame the government and others while you can.

It cant work bro, as a young guy you cant just be doing work and home. weekends, you need to go out, yo need to send small money to your girl, you need to dash few people something, even if is 2k, you cant just say you wont give or assist somebody before month end. you will pay bills, you will need to get one or two jeans, shirts, good perfume, eat roasted chicken once a while, drink beer once a while, take your guy out once a while, do data for your girl, do data for your self,. guy is not easy and it wont be enough.

you cant just say you wont take part in all of these things i mentioned. i try to live a happy life and be good. you will pay transport to go out, you might need to fix one or two things in your house because they must have problem. door keys, toilet, sink, etc. toiletries, and other things i cant remember now. you cant be working and be living like a prisoner. these things i mentioned are not much but they are the things you must do. so 80,000 is just manage
They won't tell him this because they want to him see them as good advisers or more knowledgeable. Many rich people went broke under this Buhari's Government. Many Indulged in Crime to increase their income streams because everything literally went up almost 300%.
I could manage 2k for a week on miscellaneous(not food or other major expenses oh) before but now 5k na still manage.
Bro you are perfectly fine. The only advice I have for you is that you should not just try to save but rather have a target (maybe to buy a land, start a little business or anything reasonable) and that's what motivate you to save and do some side hustles.

I am just like you bro, my Jon doesn'thave enough security too, I have a plot of land, I bought it at 300k last year, now it's about 1m for resale price and it's still pumping due to the location it is situated.

Forget that business thing oh unless you want to do it full time else your workers or the harsh economy and it's policies will frustrate you.

I am still building my career and I will continue to, please don't erect a foundation yet oh. Just build a 4 corner fence for security reasons ( although they can still sell it oh, them dae sell house wey people dae stay sef), well I haven't put a fence in mine but the seller is genuine and I can kill any baggar because of that land if they misbehave, it's my sweat, when I have money I will do it, I hope you have legit deed of assignment document or others for you land.

Lastly Pray to God for security of your Assets and save enough to buy more plots and sell later to Japa from Naija.

The only difference between us is that I am younger and I currently earn below you.

RomanceRe: How Do You Deal With Family Issue When Choosing Who To Marry? by Connected1: 4:25pm On Aug 07, 2021
mrblessed:
There is nothing wrong with your family making recommendation to you, while you make the final decision to marry or not. In fact, they can sample as many ladies as possible for you to pick your choice. Alternatively, you can also bring a lady and try to convince them on why she is the best for you. Even if they disagree at first, they can still accept her if they see you are serious in choosing her as your wife. Never destroy the bond that binds to your family.

However, what struck me the most in your post is that I didn't read where you said/wrote you love your lady-guest that wasn't accepted by your sister. You clearly designated her as "your crush," meaning nothing significant has been established between the two of you. So why the hoopla?

Don't let anyone confuse that family is not important when choosing a spouse. A lot of people come from a background that lacks family love and protection and therefore, can't understand the interest of your family members in your choice of woman.
This is one of the best advice.
Please obey and follow it.
RomanceRe: What Was The Crazy Thing You Did After Breakup? by Connected1:
I started crying in her presence and began hitting the wall, I asked her if she wanted to kill me, then she was begging me not to do anything funny, I was actually choking to death in her presence, she was saying she wanted to go home and I obliged.

Omo when I confirmed she was on her way home, See joy that night, me and my guys celebrated with drinks till 12am that day.

Nor go kill yourself oh my guy. Bleep love and choose loyalty anytime, anyday and if she's not loyal, then she's a bitch, just let her go, infact don't think twice.
Act like a fool around them and they would think they are wise, it has always worked for me.
I really loved the drama I acted that day, I just want her to say the break-up words first because these women are very evil, they can destroy your life for no good reason.

I am forever Thankful to God for revealing to me after series of prayers how useless she was.

I had to put mine up for the sake of service to mankind. I have been looking for a way of putting my sad experience to writing all these years.

I started importation business in 2014 when I lost my job. I started importing watches, Jerseys, Phones, anything that moves fast. I joined it with dropshipping too as I reside in the Eastern part of Nigeria where goods are also cheaper and affordable. Everything were going simultaneously as I introduced local online shopping from Konga and JUMIA and the businesses were running smoothly. I had no shop at the moment and had no intention of getting one cos I was making it that way. It was faster.

My younger sister would call from school and place orders and I send them across while she remits within the week. I had bigger plans for the business that I started making contacts with the international markets and also updating myself with the Nigerian shipping companies. Visited a number of them then like KINGSOO group in Trans Amadi in portharcourt for my Maiden shipping. I was focused...

Not until sometime almost at the end of the year, I lost all. I got in contact with a brother who lives in another state and told him about my business and the goods I deal in, he got interested as he was financially buoyant. We fixed day and time for me to travel to his state. He made his orders and I delivered as more orders came from him for other people which I still delivered. I was oblivious of the fact that family should be kept away from business as my friend warned me before I embarked on that journey of no return.

I kept asking for the money for months which took years and now, more years to even pay for at least for one single item out of a whole lot of items delivered.

It dawned on me later that he had no intention of paying me at all. So many measures were taken to get the money back which wasn't fruitful.
I am sorry for your loss.
But I want to do a business like yours, how much do you think I need to start this importation business. Considering the present economy too.
I will also appreciate if I can get your contact for WhatsApp Chat.
Thanks.

That's another way to go. I only buy things that are cheaper to buy in China, or often the case not even available in Nigeria. I often have need for things you just can't get here. But if I can get it here, it is better you buy here - at least no USD wahala, no logistics headache, no custom issues, no long wait, etc. Another way you may get the same quality of clothes cheaper than sold by our guys at Onitsha or Idumota is by buying a container of such material and getting it shipped down.

Those guys buy in such large volume that Chinese sell it to them very cheap. Then they ship it down via sea at a heavy discounted cost. Eg a bale of cloth which is approximately 1CBM can come down to as low as ₦120,000 each or less when shipped via container.
Okay Thanks.
I am yet to get to that container level but I will start from the Onitsha Market. I appreciate your contribution, I just pray this business favours me.

I'll advise you go to Alibaba instead. But this requires more work. You'd have to do massive research on the seller you want to buy from. After that, you will also need to get a third party shipper. But at the end of the day, you will buy the product cheaper and make more profit. But what you can also go the route of AliExpress, there are many sellers with good reviews, take your time to read reviews as some reviews are fake. Check the number of sales vs the reviews. Check the date the reviews are made, it becomes suspicious when you see like 30 reviews done on the same day grin

Also do test buy (buy one to see quality as seeing is believing). Once it's the quality you want fire down. But the truth is that clothes at AliExpress is already expensive plus the crazy shipping that some of them has.

Buying online requires a lot of work. Eg I once researched for four months before I bought a particular battery charger from China. I've used that charger for two years now without issues, as usual it wasn't that cheap. Well made Chinese products are hardly dirt cheap. Chinese ain't fools. Those dirt cheap products are often pure garbage. But not surprising, that's the type most Nigerian importers buy as they stand to make more profit.

Goodluck.
Thanks for taking out time to advise me, the shipping fees at aliexpress at very outrageous for the fine clothing, I don't think I can handle that.
I should just stick to buying at Onitsha main market, I have already gone there once to buy my personal wears, maybe I can make good business partners.

Committing suicide over cheap kpekus is so so sad. Thousands of girls far better than her are waiting to get down with this dude. Is that babe the most beautiful on earth? For any virtue she possessed there are thousands out there that outclass that. So let him shine his eyes. It's better to rid of this crook who would be with him and shagging another.
