BUT what is WRONG with having some form of ID?? Nigerians are just TOO MUCH!

I believe in democracy the police is charged with such duties like requesting form of identification while army serves other purpose which can be said to be war related or tackling enemies of the state if the need arises, or have common man in Nigeria become enemy of the state, plus if u live in Nigeria you would understand that Nigerian army tends to overdo things, they would now have the right beat or maltreat common man as it pleases them,

Right now gan, the sight of army sends chill down the spine when they should be the ones protecting the civilians

Minjim:
I think it's time someone popular setup a fund to raise this amount.
I, for one we contribute.
He spoke the mind of most of us so we shouldn't pretend like his incarnation is justifiable

When you contribute, the full money would then be looted

This is Nigeria l!!!

@DAVE5 see your Billioniare and his 25k phone raining insults on me cos I don't wanna swallow the useless wisdom from hsi 1k brain. At least he used a better device this time. No errors at all. I am really shcoked!!!

@0monnak0da Go and hug a trasformer, busy body.

Well, I never wanted 2 force anything down ur throat boss, i simply passed my opinion, u might say forgiveness is tricky but for me it’s as simple as you either forgive or you don’t

As for the pastor or reverend u talked about, for him not to forgive means he lacks the spirit of God in him, then he’s simply a god of man not a man of God


And I believe 0monnak0da means you well, all he is trying to do is to make u see letting go of the hurt is what God or whoever or whatever you believe in would have wanted you to do, well you might read it differently


In the end you’re entirely entitled to your choices and decisions, hope you make the right choices, but as humans, no one is infallible so I can’t force you to do what I want

Cheers

Eze2000:
Forget psychology, if your head was complete you wouldn't be mentioning me at this point or trying to shove you worthless ideology down my throat even after I tell you 4 times now to Go AWAY.

Your device is very important seeing as mine is flagging all your sentences in red as I try to reply to your rants. As for the cost of it all, that's the most important part, you see man get size. I'm fighting with a sitting king and you come with 25k property to waste time? Use you wisdom to make money and you shall dine with elders... it's an Igbo and Yoruba addage that shows up in other cultures.




You don't know squat and you can't read squat even if its written in pidgin English, with proper spacing included. You are just a useless busy body.



Fact is you don't know what I know but just doing your thing as a busy body. In your magnificent stupidity, you forgot to wonder about simple things age or health status that can put a time stamp on people's life. How smart are you again? Or how is it your problem? Maybe he will live longer than you. Busy body no dey mind him business

You quoted 0monnak0da saying some things about his type of device and other stuffs you’ve said, I’m not here to judge you or any of thing like that

I have some words though;

First, nairaland is a faceless forum and the said person 0monnak0da might be a billionaire who you book months long appointment to even see him face to face or yet he cld b a stack poor person that has nothing going for himself (my most sincere apologies to you 0monnak0da for the poor part, lol) my point is I feel he was pulling ur legs by saying his device is 20k and 5k respectively and his device whatsoever has nothing to do with his ideology but I believe he is a good guy to some extent, typo errors when typing occurs to even the best most brilliant richest guy in the room

Secondly, I’ve followed ur statements here, in life, as a Christian Bible say u must forgive person 77 * 77 * 77 times (I’m not 100% sure on that part though) but then what that means is there’s nothing a person does to you that is unforgivable

But if u no believe Bible, in life forgiveness actually gives you more inner peace than holding grudges against a person, I’ve held grudges against people and I know how I felt, I had to give up on why I was even holding grudges and just forgave the whole occurrence, but my catholic priest taught me once that we should not deceive ourselves, you cld forgive but forgetting is a very hard thing but just because u remember should not take away the forgiveness


Plus like 0monnak0da has said, when you understand the fact that life is not yours you would know that your uncle might outlive you, even Jesus died at age 33, he cld have live as human for as long as he wanted, but God had a different calling and his wisdom far surpasses our imagination


IMHO u saying u eat poison and all other stuffs says u r a strong man by ur own understanding, but then u r spiritually weak by my own standards if a wrong done to u would go without forgiveness and I guess 0monnak0da would understand my view too

davillian:
I have one
He doesn't show support or care about anyone in the family...
The type that can never call you if you don't call then you guys would never talk.
The type that won't support you even it it cost #0 naira..
He doesn't take advice from anyone or listen to anyone...
The most annoying one is that he doesn't even show concern if anybody dies he doesn't care if anybody is sick he doesn't care.
Now e
X-mas is approaching everybody with their families would touch down in Lagos to spend x-mas in the family house this same brother won't show up and he stays in lekki but doesn't even come home to check on mum.
He is not married.

ur own story holds more water than the OP’s story and the advice people have given on this thread on how to mend brotherly relationship applies more for you and yours

Find peace with your brother boss and it shall be well

mgh2:
Why are you not working there since shell is one of those companies where one can get into without connection.

You just an embodiment of selfishness, greed, self-centeredness, evil and all sort of acrimony you can think of.

Some of you talk trash out of your myopic mind all because you earn chicken change that is not even enough to pay for car fueling a month and you think you have arrived and as such you look at others that are yet to make it as if they are not smart or lazy.

Do you really think you are where you are today because of your smartness and hardwork?

According to the principle of fatalism; it states that “what will be will be irrespective of the precautions taken ”
That principle simply means that every thing in life has been predetermined to occur at a certain point in time whether you put in effort or not.

We all have our time of victory and it will certainly come at the right time.

So if you are in money today, don’t think others that are yet to make it will not make it or don’t ever think they are not hustling or smart.

Before you where born people have been making money; so you are not the first and you will not be the last.

I will continue to show the act of benevolence to others in need starting with my very biological family and no woman born of a woman can ever make me turn my back against my family.

If you like keep your dirty money to yourself and don’t help your family or people close by. Whether you help or you don’t help you will still die and leave your dirty chicken change behind.

I’m quite sure if the op brother was a poor man, the OP for no open this thread to discuss him family business with all of us, Nigerians are mostly opportunistic in nature, they care about wat they can get from you and if u don’t have they abandon u like gutter

In as much as the guy attached the op(which I support), ur attack was kinda baseless

There’s always 2 sides to a coin for which op dey try paint himself as victim and saint wen his words speaks more of wat he wld get from his so called “rich” brother, if u hear the brother side of the story You might b first to shoot the op, or we cld crucify the brother for wickedness

ahiboilandgas:
list it here.....

No mind the guy, he wants to establish relationship because he heard som1 makes 1.2m monthly

Later he go talk say he want nairaland brotherly love but Canadianaija no give am wen it’s obvious he’s just being an opportunist

Greedy lot... y didn’t he establish relationship with me

ednut1:
Let him be. He does not owe you brotherly love

Evil child, be like I go make am my duty to tackle you for this forum sha, after all you introduced me to this forum years ago, so if I no tackle you, who will

CanadianNaija:
Tell am! Maybe OP expects people to follow him and demonize the brother.

God knows how lonely the poor man must be, and what he must have experienced to make him keep everybody at arm's length.

I like how creamcustard has broken down the full thread to the op

Once he (the rich brother) starts keeping tab with them again, they wld remember he works as shell manager and bleach his pocket with demand, the guy give himself brain

Nigerian are relentless when it comes to begging, if we put that begging energy into work, the country wld be a lot better

CanadianNaija:
He didn't deprive himself of anything? Do you hear yourself? See your mindset, are you in his pocket?

Your brother can not get you into Shell, whether he works there or not.
I know for a fact how rigorous their recruitment process is, especially if it is for a fulltime position.
There're companies that hire contract staff for Shell and others, that one is another matter.

If you finished within the age range for their engineering graduate trainee program why didn't you apply? Was your grade good? Did you pass the aptitude test, and their accessment day?
Their fulltime recruitment is centralized and done from out of country.

It's not a one man's business, you hear that he's helping people what kind of help? Do you know? Have you bothered to ask him?

You seem misinformed, you were all given the same opportunity i don't know why you seem so resentful and envious of him.
Shell is one company at least that you can get into on merit, people without connection do it everyday, it's not your brother's fault that you're an engineer that works in a hospital.

I like you a hundred times over, no homo pls

The guy dey form he no need him bro assistance when that’s what this whole thread is about; his brother’s assistance and taking him out of working in a hospital to being an engineer


He didn’t deprive himself anything to buy a car for another full grown human being, imagine his mentality sha


Fire the mumu well well joor

pocohantas:
I can accurately guess what part of the country you are from and this is not me being tribalistic. Always fighting their brother's wife, expecting him to throw her away and bring them in. Sorry, not every man would do that. You people should make peace with the wife first. Na from her una fit get your brother...

Till then, you all will remain like the Okoye's (i.e) PSquares

By the way, I noticed this thing is very common in large families. They will have different parties in one nuclear family- PDP, APC, APGA... I can't deal mehn...

If you are a Nigerian woman and you marry the pillar of a home, be very prepared.

Be like say I don read som of ur comments b4 wey make me shake head in silence for you, but I can’t agree more wit dis particular comment

Nigerians are very greedy n feel entitled to every other persons sweat, the brother worked him way up, now they want to take his shoes, if u ask were they were when he was working his way up now, u go turn enemy cos they were all playing and spending like there’s no tomorrow

BTW I dnt think u were tribalistic, nah our way be that, I’m half from that part of the country and I must say that half is greedy and conning to a large extent, u wld wonder y there’s so much fake product in Nigeria, huge profit from selling fake stuff at original’s price


Lol

johnmba:
He did not deprive himself anything. He works with shell(manager) and helps alot of people in the company. Sometimes people he helped wondered why am working in a hospital for someone that read engineering.

Then you’re not telling us the full story, there’s something you’ve skipped, he once gave your elder a car and suddenly alienated you guys just like that but keeps giving others assistance where he can, y’all need to check yourselves and tell yourselves the truth

Just cos he’s a manager in shell doesn’t mean he has all the capacity to shoulder the entire family, and pls stop playing the part of you don’t need his money/assistance cos you’ve made that obvious by saying he’s a manager in shell and people wonder why you’re working in a hospital, this means you’re expecting him to do something and change things for you

I might say I’m half way in his shoes and know how it feels, whenever I see certain calls it’s usually about “I need money for this or that”, it gets tiring and tends to make you want to neglect such calls or persons

[quote author=amahbrain post=83384426][/quote]Auntie, a question was asked, and I gave my own opinion based on what I feel and standards I have accepted and set for myself, whatever rocks ur boat is good for you, whatever rocks my boat is good for me sef

All you did was criticize me for my opinion, I can’t live my own life by your own standards, neither did I shove mine down ur throat

I believe in God, i believe in the word of God, and I believe the word of God is God, and he dwelt amongst us as man, if u don’t, fine for u

If anybody say they know God more than the next person, fine for them, we are all entitled to our opinions

The same Christ you said told us salvation is personal still went to be baptized before he started his ministry, so that says he still obeyed his ancestral lineage

I learned not to tie the world to my chest and that means live and let live, in my quest for live and let live, It doesn’t mean I should accept everything and anything


I (name withheld) have nothing against gay people, their choice which they are entitled to, I don’t like them either cos they very much scare me and I can’t accept any of my family member being gay, he/she chose his/her sexual nature and I chose not to accept it, it’s called CHOICE

No gay person seeked my opinion when they chose their sexuality and It can’t be forced on me

I DONT ACCEPT GAY DESIRES OR INTENTIONS

If you do, I wish you a gay filled sweet life

Live your life well and be very SUCCESSFUL while you’re here, that’s what matters the most to me; SUCCESS

Don’t misconstrue success with money but remember money makes life a lot better

Nggs121:
People like you are rotten
Dumb nobodies who don't have a mind of their own.

You preach against discrimination but are willing to do it if you feel it is justified.

Now answer this

Why is homosexuality bad?

I’m a Christian and I believe in the word of God, and I know for sure there’s no verse that supports same sex marriage, don’t judge me because I’ve accepted to accept a white man’s religious as so many would call it, I wont judge you either for things you do, in the end, nobody is perfect


About same sex marriage, let’s not look at the Bible gan,

I believe nature in itself is against it

Can a man and a fellow man procreate?

if they can (not by scientific means though) then homo is fine for them that accept it (not me though but I can’t fight nor judge them)

But if a man and his fellow man can’t procreate naturally (one of the both of them gets pregnant and carries the child in his belly for nine months, and conceives a child) , then it goes to say nature did not approve same sex union from the get go and neither would I


My opinion though, you definitely are free to yours too

Pen dropped!!!


I’m tempted to want to go further, but......... I’ll oblige myself


Someone attacked the op that she missed the point of gay relationship that it’s not sex but love, which I disagree because all the “i love you” “ I love you” between man and woman, man and man, woman and woman, goat and goat leads to the endpoint which is sexual satisfaction, some may argue with me though, but whatever you say, you’re right because I’m not the law and my words are not final

What if your dad had fancied a fellow man, or your mum had fancied a fellow woman, I’m guessing we won’t be on this forum today, (Pls with all due respect I mean you, your dad or mum or family no disrespect)

another question for you


Are you gay?

If you’re not, would you accept your brother coming home with a guy saying he loves the guy and wants to marry him?

Bible aside, does your ancestral culture accept same sex union?

Is same sex marriage good?


I’ll answers your question, I believe with my heart that same sex union is wrong because my Bible is against it, nature is against it, my culture in the village is against it and I can’t fathom being sexually and romantically involved with a fellow guy, breàst is softer and more sumptuous than chest, the female anatomy as a whole pleases my eye, my biology teacher would not approve of it

AutoReportNG, why are you reporting news the same way CNN, DW, BBC will report news about Africa?
You said that the FG claims the road is 70% completed but you left out information or pictures of "completed portions of the road" if any.
Did you come across any completed sections of the road? If yes, why not include the pictures so we know if the govt is truthful or lying about their 70% completion claims?

Oga boss, I moved from Ikorodu - ogijo then back to Ikorodu on Sunday evening, the full road is an eye sore, we don’t need bbc to remind us how bad the road is or exaggerate to us that the road is super bad... it’s as if there was never a constructed road there, boss, it’s that bad if you’ve not seen it ur self


Iyana road to toll gate/Sango is like a puzzle, you have to be dodging pot holes up and down, if u see a darker road section on the road, it probably can swallow ur car

GenBuhari:
Don't tell me MTN is moving into the Mining & Steel sector

God bless you

seunmsg:
Nigerians want government to pay N30k minimum wage without increasing taxes. How possible? Where will State government get the money to pay? Federal government is just taking the lashes for the proposed VAT increase on behalf of state government. 85% of VAT goes to the state while FG retains an insignificant 15%. FG is pursuing the policy to help state whether the minimum wage storm that will soon hit them from next year. Without that VAT increase, state governments cannot meet up with their basic obligations.

If government utilized the previously collected taxes properly or maybe 50% properly, we won’t have to worry about not being able to pay minimum wage of 30,000

Large chunk of the government budget annually goes to sponsoring the same projects over and over again without fulfilling any of the project once

They’ve been repairing our light, roads, rail system and other infrastructure since time immemorial and still haven’t achieved a thing about the light, no road, no good alternative means of transport

Check it out, no light, no good roads, no government water, meaning you pay tax and still take of what your taxes where supposed to take care of at an even higher cost like you owning a generator, servicing it from time to time, fueling it and still paying estimated light bill for light you did not use, meaning you’re indirectly paying tax twice or thrice

Companies have flooded out of Nigeria because of our epileptic power situation and road network and I guess we should blame the ordinary Nigerian on the street that has no food in his belly


If Nigeria and Nigerians could have 24hours power supply and good roads, a lot of things would automatically fall in place by itself, companies would rush us

Is Naira and CEDI the same Fact check: 67.15 Nigerian Naira = 1 Ghanaian Cedi

Is the Economies and % of poor masses the same

Can your passport go visa free to most countries

Is their politicians as clueless as ours?

Imagine earning 15,000 Naira and paying a light bill of 5,000 where you live(If that is even a good analogy)/

Naija matter tire person...

My nepa bill in my house is usually in the range of 15,000 - 18,000

I’m not married yet, so basically I stay alone, I’m not usually at home, so all my appliances are off 95% of the time

So 1 month I purposely didn’t use Nepa light in my house, nothing, only bulbs (energy savers) I only use my sound system when I on generator, voila Nepa bill 17,000+

So how would I be happy that my vat is being increased, no mind that ednut1, he has always been a antagonist to public opinion even under glaring misconduct by the government

What hard secured job. Op gave disclaimer because he knew there will be people like you.

What's the essence of waking up by 6:00am preparing for a 7am job when at the long run, your stipend, I dare not call it salary will not take you for a mere 2 weeks!
Is it not madness?

Better madness I must say

I am just sick of my job, spent over half of my salary on transportation minus feeding.......... etc.

Good since you have side hustle, fear of unknown is the worst killer of a hustler but 1 thing is sure, we go dey aiit las las, you’d be surprised the success rate you’d get if u dedicate more on the side hustle, but ensure it is a feasible hustle ohh abeg

@Mr. Dave
Please can i apply for that job of yours since you're wanna quit the job. I'm in dire need of a job.

I’m guessing you’re referring to me, I assume There are certain jobs you just can’t apply for just like that and mine is one of such because it took some path before I was taken to this particular office, besides hr’s are the real employers of labor for which I’m not an hr guy


So, for others quoting a nairalander that said they intend to leave their job and saying they should give them the pass, u shld know d person quitting can’t give you the pass because there’s a referee who decides who gets the ball


It’s like saying because Ronaldo wanted to leave Madrid, then Abiodun Emeka at Enugu rangers should be given Ronaldo’s slot at Madrid


HARD TRUTH!!!

macklef:
Bro, good morning can you help fed up employees like u with the auto pilot biz u run. If it fetches me 2times my salary, its a life saver

Bro, u have to discover ur self by ur self ohh, my biz dint become semi auto pilot by itself, it was the grace of God that made it so, my biz workers became trust worthy to an extent so I didn’t need to be there with them always after abt 2 years of them working for me, I’m into several biznesses; data reselling, farming, restaurant, firstmonie, paga, sourcing and buying and selling of items for people, fish farming, bet shop set up and installation and I’m still looking for funds to continue adding more biznesses under my sleeves,

And trust me if I said I started from the bottom, I mean from the very bottom and built myself through saving, investing and self discipline

So the truth is I don’t know how I want to advise you but diligence and discovering you are key, I still intend to do computer consultancy cos I have a thing for computers

I’m not into quick money like forex, bitcoin and the rest online biz but if u venture into and it works for you
