Free fall..... It will get to 2000 before next weekend

Abi o. Osondi Owendi.

It has some silver lining.

Martinez39s:
Nothing new: this is an ongoing thread from past generations. Despite this, Nigerians will still suffer and smile; hope in god and crooked survival means; cut corners and reduce expenses to accommodate inflation; give birth like rats; indulge in tribalism, blind political biases, sick classism; and/or pat themselves on the back for enduring and smartly surviving. This is the way of Nigerians in the face of economic shege.

True, until kidnappers start moving from house to house. By then, they would have killed as many kings and others as possible, God forbid.

As things dey go, that smug smile don dey disappear.

Dem don dey know say khaki nor be leather.

IkeGod9891:
Thank God u all knw how we got here.

OK o.

Na we wey dem dey call Tanoids in 2014-2015 na im dey smile now.

Knowing the disaster Bubu was in 1983, we tightened our belt and divested when he came in 2015.

When dem drive away Goodluck to choose badluck, wetin dem expect?

I nor fit go mumu for anybody.

killsmith:
Mention the names or na just cheap propaganda.
Na so una lie say a gang defrauded Nigerian over 40 years with fuel subsidy, but no arrest whatsoever.

A very big shame to those who voted this government.

No, the sect na spirit sect. No name, no address.

MrProlific95:
Fulanis in Nigeria will pay for these wicked atrocities they tacitly support against indigenous Nigerians.

A time might come when Indigenous Nigerians will declare war on these murderous herders as they have declared war against Nigerians.


We are at War yet we don't realise it.

Indigenous Nigerians Rise and protect your .

lands from these vipers.

At this point in time, it is safe to say that Any indigenous ethnic community without a Defence arrangement armed against these blood suckers is playing with extinction.

The Fulani's who appear peaceful yet do not openly condemn this Atrocities against Indigenous Nigerians will not be spared.

Dude, Jihad don already start. Na South still dey mumu. Two monarchs were killed yesterday at Ekiti. So what else do Southerners want to see?

pansophist:
What is the opinion of your fiancee on all these?

If she tells you to postpone the marriage, that she should go first, then you should know that you are in the idiot in the midst

Also, if he loses interest in helping your fiancee just because she got married before coming, then he is not your real helper and probably wants to snatch your woman.

Does this helper from America know you? Have you guys met or at least, spoken on the phone before? What is the basis of his benevolence?

Shine your eyes sha, no go let anybody use your head. In situations like this, I will assume the worst and then hope for the best. That's how you save yourself from unnecessary headaches and disappointment.

Lol, the guy knows what he's doing. The guy and his fiancee want to use the man.
Is the man her uncle, in-law or what? He didn't tell us.

We don see all before. We know how e dey end.

Town = island- Lagos


Materials

6" block @360 x 1500 = 540,000
Cement @5500 x 50= 275,000
Sand = 20 tons = 140,000
Plaster sand 10 tons = 70k
Labour for block #80 x 1500 blocks = 120,000
Digging and blinding of foundation = highest 50,000 ( which is high o)
Plastering of wall = 4000 per partition x the number of partitions



You still have change for roofing

I used 1200 for the two rooms in the picture
It's 16 ft x 16 ft per room with two toilets and one kitchen
Normal room is 12 x 12 or 10x 11 or 10 x 10 depends on what you want

With 2m you can

Yes am a contractor

So in your experience as a contractor, how much will complete a 2 bedroom flat (2 rooms, one parlour, two toilets and a kitchen) including roofing? Also considering current materials prices. Minimum 12 x 12 rooms. Thanks.

Stigman, this house you built here, when and in which town/state?

Total estimated cost to finish and pack in?

Can you share the plan? Are you a building contractor/builder?

Thanks.

Scholace,

This is old post I know.

Please sell the village house or the problem could last for generations.
At worst, find a plot at Ikorodu and build there.

As a rule of thumb, anything you do for your siblings, expect nothing. Give them all your salary every month, none will say you did anything for them. They feel entitled. No exception.

Give 10% as charity and outsiders will value it. Your dad did well to support his siblings but does not mean his siblings will be good to him or his children. Learn your own lesson from your dad's experience.

They should even recall all the senators. They have no use aside raising their emoluments and constituency allowances.

We can't even afford a bi-cameral parliament when every citizen aside the looters is crying ebi'n pa mi o.

Bad news for 9ja and West Africa. We need their cooperation to fight terrorists.

Any junta that succeeds in its coup in the region will have 3 countries ready to welcome them.

Failed elected and election rigging leaders put Africa at risk. Coups will happen when there is grinding poverty, insecurity, impunity and looting. See the result now.

The only panacea is good governance, rule of law, transparency and tangible economic growth that creates jobs for the masses.

The more pariah states we allow to emerge the more the dens of terrorists in the region.

aribisala0:
There was a thread recently when a joker was arguing about children as a pension plan and how you are naked in old age without children
There are children that will strip you naked in old age and are worse than not having children

Old age bawo,

Dey will use their middle age father do ritual sharp sharp.

Kobojunkie:
Smug about infidelity? You mean the same infidelity that is glorified as a man's right in marriage in your Nigerian culture or another one? By the way, what exactly do you mean by "the worst" here?

2. The ring worms crawling through your heads don't let you lot reason well. If you are so afraid of all of this why bother engaging women at all. Just marry other men and be done with it? Yes, we live in a world which is more accepting of that. So why not explore that option instead of fuming in the mouth everytime a woman does something that scares you. Save yourself all from all that anxiety abeg.

Well, go and rant at those who take women seriously.

I expect absolutely nothing from women and never did. I learnt that before I was even 10 years old.

The hubby must have been a fool to have trusted the wife in the first place and a bigger fool if he hadn't done paternity test on those 4 kids before now.

We agree on one thing though. Left to me, there should be no marriage.

I pay for a service only. Anything a women can offer has a price. And there is abundance of willing women to provide the service. Childbearing and everything else can be paid for.
No dulling.

Just business.

Kobojunkie:
Storyland!

If you watched the video you would see the man was asking the woman to divorce him meaning the plot is not at all any of what you assume here.

I hope when the worst happens, which men from that axis have been often reported to do, I hope people like you will still be smug about infidelity.

Any man that has not done paternity test on his kids in 2024, is either a fool or too poor to do so.

As for divorce, divorcing an olosho with 4 kids can only be a blessing. Let her collect the house and see how she will live in it.

This is 2024. Nor gree for any harlot.

You ask why the man videoed her. You are clearly a woman of double standards.

You know that the man hitting her will have a negative consequence (punishment) on him. But you don't want to admit that the woman being filmed is a desrved punishment for her own action. Your logic here implies that you want men to be punished for all their misconducts but want women to get away with theirs. Are you just catching cruise online or are you like this in real life?

Infidelity in marriage has no justification for any gender. But here, you boldly say you will cheat on your partner if you don't get enough from him. The same you claim to be a feminist. I thought men are useless to feminists. Or, do you mean you will cheat with your fellow woman? In fact, you are a two-edged sword. If you are really a feminist, you won't marry a man in the first place, talk more of not getting enough from him.

If you look well, the man would have done everything for this lady. Probably brought her from 9ja. She now has her documents complete and has a job. The kids may all be over 8 years already, fairly independent. She feels divorce won't affect her much. She even stands to gain. Her confidence shows she's a veteran olosho.

But the hubby can use other ways to bleep her up.

The man should do DNA test on the kids, codedly if possible, as most oyinbo countries will require wife's consent.

If kids are his, leave matter and just move on.

The man should stop eating her food. She might poison her.

You really don't get why they did that, do you? It is the job they really didn't like but they liked the money that comes with it. Those are the kind of jobs that many Nigerians wouldn't like to do here no matter the pay but [b]travelling abroad with no skill gives them no options to choose from but to settle with what is available. The sacrifice of japa with no skill[/b]s

This is not entirely true. Some have degrees, including UK health and social care degrees. Some like the flexibility that some other 9-5 jobs may not give them, others may be postgrad students doing it. Even UK citizens born and bred who were nurses, civil servants and others come into the sector later for various reasons.
I do not envy those supporting dementia patients in whatever setting. It's a very challenging geriatric condition as it progresses.

Even those otherwise happy doing the job can lose it at times BUT no excuse for their action.

His d!ck nor gree for anybody.

sammirano:
Gut. This is what we call decentralisation in finance and management.

,
Some departments should go to Jos, PH, Enugu, Benin, Ibadan, KD, etc.

To be fair.

honour7:
There is no convention, it was because of COVID that euro/Afcon were not played in 2020, hence the back dating.

Before you jump to comment, see how a discussion started and what was already said.
If there is no convention, why did DFB, FFF or English FA not just call it Euro 2021on their own since final was even played at Wembley?

My friend, the original year to host, Euro 2020 or whatever remains even if postponed. Unless the postponement or bringing forward was already known before the Award/fixing of tourney date was done. Such as Afcon 2013 (bringing forward from 2014 to 2013) was already agreed before it was awarded. To avoid Afcon clashing with 2014 World cup year.

Kukutente23:
Afcon was played in 2012 and 2013 to correct the clash of Afcon with World Cups. That's why Afcon was shifted to the odd number years since 2013. So by that covid shouldn't have affected afcon. But even at that, my curiosity is if we are playing afcon in 2024, why can't we call it afcon 2024? Why 2023

It must have been awarded with the title Afcon 2024. The same way Euro 2020 was awarded as such and still called Euro 2020 even though it was played in 2021. These are conventions involving many nations and FAs.

Fact is various reasons can cause postponement and rescheduling.

kokakola:
Most Nigerians are pretending to be unpatriotic on social media concerning our team in this AFCON but deep within their conscience, they desire naija to win and even lift the trophy regardless.

They are just trying to prepare for disappointment wella. To tone down expectation. See how they will be partying should 9ja win CIV 2:0.

Kukutente23:
I still don't understand how we are playing Afcon 2023 in 2024
Must Africa be backward in everything?

Dude, Covid-19 Pandemic disrupted many things leading to tournament postponements.

The 2020 UEFA European Football Championship was played in summer of 2021. The one Italy won against England.

That's why the next one is summer this year in Germany. Every 4 years.

Remember when Zambia won Afcon in 2012, they only held it for 1 year as 9ja won it in 2013. 2014 Afcon was brought forward to 2013 to avoid clashing with 2014 World Cup in Brazil that Germany won. Even though exactly that hosting year clash happened in Afcon 1994 that 9ja won. It was acceptable back then.

These scheduling abnormalities happen for various reasons.

After all said and done, OP might not even be the biological father.

In case you are, explore your legal rights as a biological dad,

The child has a right to her dad, the mistakes and bitterness of adults does not change that.
7 years is better than never or 28 years later.

People will behave badly but we must not allow our reaction to make us even worse than them.

My uncle's daughter got regnant like 26 years ago. Her Bf's dad insisted on aborting it but my uncle and aunt refused. The child was born and raised by uncle's family for at least first 21 years of life. Although the bf was later coming and bringing the girl presents. He never married my cousin and both parted ways.

The guy died when the girl was about 12. If the girl had been aborted as his father insisted he would have had no kid.

A few years ago, the girl was getting married, it was the granddad (the boy's father) who collected the bride price in his house. My uncle did not even attend.

My uncle took the position that he did his best for the child's survival and happiness and avoided rancour.

It happened to my female cousin and life went on.

@ Bongadu, learn from your mistake.

blowjohn:
So sad.

Guys and gals pls and advice from me.

This is something I do.
If a gal visits me, I make sure she takes a direct drop back home and I make sure she sends a text that she's home.

Even before then, I make sure I accompany her to where she will enter the taxi, copy the plate number and watch them go.

But more importantly, I make sure I call and record her tell me she's back home.

The reason is simple. U know how gals are. They will always want to branch somewhere or meet someone else.


So that if anything goes wrong and the police track u frm ur last conversation u will have evidence that she left ur place alive.

That's something I have imbibed cos the times are really dangerous and gals have become even more desperate.

True. Girls can lie for Africa. From your house, she might go to another man. If something happens there and you are her last contact, nobody will believe your protestation of innocence.

I used to have a female platonic friend. People of her ethnic background are not positively disposed to Africans in relationship matters. She told me her family hated other races. But she was a very bright and nice girl. Those were student days.

Whenever she turned up at my house, and drunk at times, I would just let her relax in my crib. She would drink if having issues with her on again off again bf.

Later, I would ensure that I drop her off at home (literally to her sitting room or even bedroom if drunk) and her flatmates would see me take my leave.
I nor want any wahala.

Gerrard59:
Are you implying the marriage collapsed because of the husband's refusal to have another child? So which of them is in charge of the children's custody and well-being? Why did the man not do vasectomy? How is she coping now as a single mother of three children?

Sorry for my too many questions, I just find the tale interesting.

I don't believe the man needed vasectomy. Sure. he has part responsibility but remember the lady already decided before marriage. The lady tried to paint the hubby bad but knowing how hot she was about having many kids, I did not believe her. I even advised her after the second child to take it easy. I didn't know her hubby was saying same thing. She was still insisting on 4 kids minimum. She is not a single child as she has brothers and sisters.

She has just an average job and her hubby even had no job when she was preggy with first child. He got an average job later.

As for how she's coping, I have stopped asking o. She has custody. It was all very messy at the end. I can't waste my time on people who cannot heed a simple advice.

Couples should learn to be flexible and reach a consensus on many aspects in marriage: number of kids, taste, lifestyle, investment, etc.

jamesversion:
I just need 1 child, preferably a son and I'm OK. [b]All the small small girls around me are fantasising about having 4 & 5 kid[/b]s. I no blame dem sha, especially as they demand for something, I give ASAP.

I had female friend who said many years ago that she would have minimum 4 kids. She had no steady bf. Although she claimed no bf but you know ladies are not honest in such matters.
I advised that she should wait and agree that with her future hubby. She insisted it must be minimum 4 kids by fire by force. I just siddon look.

She married some years later.
She knack one pikin fiam! Like another 18 months, another pikin fiam!

Nor do nor do, a third pikin fiam!

Well, the hubby insisted on not having a third child but she did everything to have it. I only found out when the hubby began to avoid coming home until very late at night and marital problems started.

She is a single mother now.
