Great. The Devilish children prefer Immorality, Alcoholism, Drugs, Cultism, etc just about all sort of criminality in the name of education..

Everything devilish are engage in. Bobrisky, Lil Nas, Niki Minaj, Michel Jackson, Lil Wayne, that's their role models. You'll never see Asian middle eastern, true Africans engage in those abominations.

All hail Taliban
look at this fanatic pantami junior brother...
I am angry sharing a country with people like this... Going by your doctrines and teachings, you are not supposed to use a phone, watch a TV, or use any modern world gadgets..
Where is the freedom to do what one pleases?
When I can't have my freedom, then it means my life is being controlled by people..

That being said, buhari is just like these useless Talibans..
They instigate the masses to protest before coming into power..
They were dancing to drake's song, using western things they preach against..
Buhari was protesting almost every day before coming into power and same buhari is gagging the media, killing and detaining anyone that protest or doesn't support his rule..
They even go as far using assassins to terminate whoever doesn't align with their ideas..

My own is, I want to know how 650k will get you into Canada through an agent unless someone from there is gonna send you a letter though I believe ticket fee shouldn't be more than 400-600k..
I don't think you have nothing to fear since you are not spending from your pocket..
But whatever deal you want to cut, cut a reasonable one that will be convenient for you..
People don't pick money on the street of Canada bro.. And what about accommodation?

No be small thing, your dad needs a home to rest, good he has you, he should also reach out to his sister used as odesan, you two can be his new family, he should just move on, live the life he created, after all if your mom was still struggling he wouldn't want to connect with them, i know a time will come in life your siblings will connect with him, but it is solely left for them to decide not him or the people he is using to make it happen only because he is struggling now. He will be Alright

Me i know girls that are good exists but i fit die single if i no see one marry. Lolz
her sister dies so many years ago even before he became a man.. It was that experience that brought that hatred and I wonder, why must Peter suffer the consequences of Paul?

Op your story is really an eye opener to those who think because them belleful now no mean say they no go hungry later. Well, let your mum forgive popsy since she has moved on and fortune has smiled on her and you guys. He has learnt his lessons, the hard way i must say, so the best your mum and siblings can do for him is to forgive him and relate with him. Your mum is a strong woman infact na man she be.
she already forgave him many years ago but said they can never be together again..
Love no dey to give again so going into the relationship will abusive and intimidation.
Pupsy go dey intimidated, Mumsy gay no shikini love to give again.. She said pupsy already died in her heart..
She sends him money sometimes naw but no love again

But most of those developers are wicked souls.
The lease year is always BTW 15-18 and 20yrss maximum and believe me, after they finish the lease, the best thing you can do to such property is demolish and rebuild

Mtcheew! I visited my friend at lekki last week. Everywhere na water. I flushed the toilet and the water was like Lupton tea. Throughout my stay , he was switching between generator and inverter. That one na life? Come to alimosho where you'd enjoy 24 hours power supply with good roads and well lit street. I rest my case.
come to oral estate and you will be wowed..
The water is even drinkable, almost 24hrs light and it doesn't get flooded.. That estate was properly planned

FamilyRe: My Family's Story, (my Mum Won This Time) by Crossroad1(op): 9:58pm On Sep 11, 2021
She will be at the shop from morning till 3pm,then from 3pm till 7pm,she will take some medicines to those aboki at oba adesida, baba larab and Co that changes dollar..
My siblings told me how they were seeing small small change whenever she is counting her money..
So she was paying my kid's school fees then she decided further..
Back then, she stopped her education at this present jss3, I dont know what they call it then..
Anytime I remember what this woman went through, it always brought tears to my eyes..
Taking care of 4kids,having a private teacher in her shop from 10-1pm, arranging what her kids will eat before leaving for oja oba akure..
She sat for her waec at olekamba pragmatic school along shagari village akure and she made her papers in one sitting..
Did her jamb too and went straight to proper nursing school, she Don get experience before.
One thing that happened is one way or another God was merciful to her.. One of her uncle paid for the nursing school, her mother was a farmer, she was helpful including her uncles too and senior brothers..
It wasn't easy.
I got admission into unilorin almost same time she started her nursing school.
I saved up for my first years, books, clothes and everything..
Egbon too was very helpful even though he too was going through a very rough time..
200level,(Agric&biosystems engineering) I was doing partial photography at motion ground just to augment body and soul, I made sure my burden wasn't on my mum and during holidays, I do night at bally white 69 mushin and from 10am-4pm,i go and hustle at ladipo pushing engines and help sorting items, I even help offloading containers..
Mumsy too was doing well but it wasn't easy..
Having 4children in the university and last born in sec schl..
I was helping her with feeding money and books when am on holidays.. These life taught me to be very friendly jovial and I crack jokes alot and it helped me in life..
Cos of the way I was working myself to stupor, succur started coming small small.. Most of people I help at ladipo market always come to the hotel I work to cool off so na me dey always serve them..
I did some shady business while I was a bar man, and they are things am not happy with..
Like selling 9 or 10 Andre, Andre was expensive then, I don't remember the price but I have a customer who will be waiting for Me around 5am cos manager comes around 6am,i will buy like 5andre at cheap price and restock so it will look like I sold only four.. Get food from the kitchen for customer (Iya rodia) and inflate price.
Most of these money goes into savings and I sent some to my mum(it is a bad attitude I regret cos nothing justifies stealing).

It was a very tough life but one way or the other, we all scaled through.. Mumsy got a job with ondo state at comprehensive health center arakale..
Me on the other hand after graduating and service didn't even look for any government job, started doing site manager, site supervisor, help people aquire land, with prayer and diligence, things started making sense..
Now to the main aim of this story...
Pman left Nigeria because of too much debt on his neck, we didn't know until later.
The woman he was head over hill for, they had 3kids together and today, na curse dem dey use greet each other cos things became so bad for him in dubai that he resorted to menial jobs to survive..
Dem Sha deport him about 6yrs ago and he can't even come to the house he built in akure.. Mumsy have tiled everywhere, did pop, all windows are intact but we never floor compound..
I went to see pupsy 2 weeks ago, I shed tears.. He was staying in a room, no TV, no fan, just mat and few clothes hanged on the wall, he said someone lease him 2plots of land to farm on..
Why he can't go to the house he built, he is owing some sets of people almost 8million and if those ones catch am, na jail go be him new home.

I was in akure recently and she took me to her site, 2blocks of 3bedroom flats completed..
She has about 4plots at airport, 2 at oda road and 2 at futa..
We help her get car some years back.
My siblings don't wanna hear anything about my pupsy and when they learnt I went see him, they were raving mad at me..
I Sha got him a room and parlor self con, furnish it till when we would solve his
Gbese issue..
Mumsy will be moving out of his house to her own house next month, the house go just dey there..
Told her to let it out for now...
For the past 6yrs he got back, he has sent virtually everyone who knows my mum to her begging for forgiveness and Mumsy on the other hand has gotten herself another responsible man.
The man is a lonely man whose children her abroad..
The wife died almost 8yrs ago..
Baba was telling me that as the first born, I should settle the rift and Mumsy already laid curse on anyone that will talk about him to her that such person will go through x100 of what she went through...
Oboy, knowing what she went through in life, I no fit use head carry curse o...
She is happy now and enjoying her life...
I already told pupsy he is fighting a lost course..

I have to ommit so many things cos it will be too lengthy...
We still have good women out there..
If nowadays we have so many urgent 2k,hoelosho,etc, we should also remember guys that will do anything just to lay them.

All in all, we still have good women and girls who will be calm, respect you and help you grow only say you go find am tire for naija Sha but dem dey..

Women, try to invest in yourself, work hard and make yourself proud.. Country Don hard, country Don spoil but invest in your self...
I have a female friend who is a realtor on Facebook.. This girl started small and I was putting her through till was able to convince a family in this same Lagos who has vast lands...
She is the sole realtor on that property today and she is doing very well..
In becoming the woman you dream of, first be sensible and intelligent..

So there you have it..
Pls I take God beg una, comment with sense and no insult.. I no get strength to dey follow people exchange banters and if there is insult on this thread, it will be very painful to me.. I pit this up here so we could learn a thing or two..
