Because if he truly has eyes and can see and drive why does he keep entering potholes? Here's a theory, OP has an inaccurate self-concept as a badass driver and his dad noting what a reckless driver he is is triggering for him because it challenges the self image he has about being a good driver. He forgot daddy has been driving for many years before dey born am. Hin papa na veteran driver, never one serious accident in the entire history of his driving na why the thing dey pain OP. If you check am well scratch scratch go full that hin car, na the kind people wey dey speak English for traffic. Oga!

ChizzyBuna: I love and respect my dad so much He is old in age but he can still drive
The issue is anytime I'm driving him Instead of him to relax He will turn to Conductor every 2 seconds, sometimes he will shout that I'm speeding to fast but I'm not going past 60 kmph
Today I drove him to village and on the way he did the same shouting and telling me to look out for bumps.
This distracts me and makes me lose focus. Out of anger i shouted back at him to keep quiet and allow me drive. That i have eyes and i can see the bumps
Now i told him that he should never enter my car or unless he will keep quiet and allow me concentrate on my driving. No talking, he should keep it shut through out the whole journey.
Now he is feeling bad, did i do anything bad?? This is so sad. One day he won't be around, and that day you won't need to ask the Internet if what you did was wrong, you'll know. |

"If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people? 2 Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! 4 Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church? 5 I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers? 6 But instead, one brother takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!
7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? 8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters."

Romance › Re: Why Are Uneducated Ladies Often Lucky In Finding Good Husbands? (Photo) by DemonSlayer: 9:37pm On Nov 26, 2024 |
Gistmedia10: A thought-provoking question posed by a lady has taken the internet by storm. In her post, she asked, "Why are most of the uneducated ladies so lucky in finding good husbands?" 
This query has sparked a heated debate, with netizens sharing varying opinions on what might be a complex societal phenomenon.
Some believe uneducated women are seen as more traditional or submissive, traits some men prefer, while others credit qualities like kindness or family values over luck.
Critics, however, reject the idea, arguing education doesn’t determine marital success, as educated women also find supportive partners.
The debate has sparked thousands of comments on personal experiences and societal expectations. What’s your take—luck, perception, or something else?
Where's the data or should we just believe you? What do you mean by "uneducated" and who's a good husband? When you say "most" what percentage of the population are you talking about? How many people in this demography have you met? |

I can't speak for all 30+ men but as someone who falls in that demography I can tell you that I find that rather odd. Thirty plus men are more likely to be busy hustling and building a life they can be proud of, and don't have time for frivolities like calling multiple girls just to hear their voice. That doesn't mean younger men are less engaged but it's a matter of greater urgency when you're 30+.
My experience as a 30+ man is that more girls are willing to call and check on me than I am willing to pick up, because when you're 30+ and have an apparently stable life you turn into a potential wedding ring in their eyes, and at the end of the day you're already wise enough at that big age to know that female attention in all the forms it takes is often a minus on your resources. |

"A prophet has no honour in his own country" is the story of Nigeria. I clicked on this story to see a shambolic box of scrap metal and all the "we too dey celebrate mediocrity for this country" comments under it. However, lo and behold, I saw an impressive job done by a young man younger than me. It's inspiring and I naturally expected some kudos instead of the condescending comments.
If you've never built anything this interesting in your life, you have no right to condemn it because you're just a pathetic, lousy, little hater. If you have built anything significant, you'll know not to condemn good effort but to encourage and offer constructive criticism. |
Family › Re: Getting This Off My Chest: My Strained Relationship With My Dad by DemonSlayer: 3:17pm On Nov 25, 2024 |
amazinghands: I relocated to the United States about eight years ago. My relationship with my dad has been strained and continues to deteriorate.
Background: I grew up in a lower-middle-class family with both my mom and dad working hard. Everything changed when my dad started earning significant money. His newfound wealth led to a lifestyle filled with parties, women, and alcohol (to be fair, he earned his money, so he had the right to spend it as he pleased). He built a hotel and was barely home afterward.
2010: While I was in college, I wanted to leave Nigeria due to the incessant ASUU strikes. I told my dad I wanted to study abroad. Initially, he agreed and gave me the funds to start the process. I was admitted to a school in Ukraine and secured a visa, but he later said he couldn’t afford to send me abroad. This decision felt contradictory, as his lifestyle said otherwise. (To be fair, it’s his money, and he has the right to decide how to spend it.)
2016: I got admitted to a master’s program in the U.S. and approached my dad for help again. He told me to "cut my coat according to my size" and said he couldn’t sell any of his properties for the sake of a child studying abroad. (Again, to be fair, he was right—he had already paid for my college tuition in Nigeria.) Around the same time, he married another wife.
On the other hand, my mom sold her only piece of land and some jewelry to give me half of my first semester's tuition. After involving family members, my dad reluctantly gave me ₦400,000, stating that was all he could afford. I thanked him for the support.
Fast Forward to Today: I struggled and worked odd jobs to make ends meet, determined never to ask him for help again. Over time, I’ve become financially stable, secured a good job, and am now a permanent resident. I give my dad a monthly allowance and occasionally send more during festive seasons. My mom, on the other hand, gets spoiled with gifts, extra money, and I’ve even invited her to visit and spend time with me in the U.S.
Now, my dad is broke and has suggested I buy him a car and increase what I do for him, despite the fact that my parents are separated and he currently lives with his second wife. I’ve told myself I won’t go above and beyond for him, especially since he chose to prioritize his lifestyle and the new wife (who came with a stepson). I find it hard to reconcile his past decisions with his current expectations.
Am I in the wrong here? One of the notable things about what you shared with us is that you never felt entitled to his support. I think it's something we, as men, can relate to. We recognize that just because a parent brought us into the world doesn't mean they also have to give us the world. I don't mean to make this about gender, but I've observed that more daughters and sisters tend to feel entitled to what their parent or sibling owns and feel slighted by their decision to spend it on who or what they desire. Back to the topic—training a child is like investing. The higher your investment, the greater your ROI. You can’t reasonably expect to make more out of the same stock than someone who holds more of it. That said, have you considered that your mother's contribution might have been emotionally exaggerated in significance because she came through for you at a critical juncture? If you objectively quantify in monetary terms how much each parent has contributed to your life, would you still say your mother is on top? I understand your pain at feeling betrayed by a parent who, in your view, chose his own pleasure over providing you with the best opportunities. I won’t tell you to forgive him—that’s entirely up to you—but based on what you’ve shared, it seems you’re already doing enough for your dad by fulfilling your basic responsibilities as a child, just as he did his as a father. Anything beyond that is extra and entirely at your discretion. The table has turned—you’re now the man with the bread, and you can do whatever you want. |

Education › Re: Here Are Some Practical Tips For Saving Effectively From A Monthly Salary Of 50K by DemonSlayer: 12:39am On Nov 19, 2024 |
eBARCSMFB: Here are some practical tips for saving effectively from a monthly salary of 50K to 100K Naira in Nigeria:
1. Create a Realistic Budget
Track your income and expenses, breaking down your spending into categories like food, transport, rent, and utilities. Allocate a specific percentage (e.g., 10-20%) to monthly savings and treat it as a non-negotiable "expense."
2. Use the 50/30/20 Rule
For simplicity, try the 50/30/20 rule, where 50% goes to needs (rent, food, utilities), 30% to wants (entertainment, extras), and 20% to savings or debt repayment. Adjust these percentages if necessary, especially if you’re earning on the lower end of the scale, but prioritize the savings portion.
3. Automate Your Savings
Set up an automatic transfer to a dedicated savings account on payday. This way, you save first before you have the chance to spend it. Consider platforms like e-barcs, Cowrywise, or Kuda in Nigeria, which offer automatic saving options and even interest on savings. The e-barcs regular savings will help you save your money with an interest of 8% P.A This account is designed for the everyday hustlers, that want to see their funds work for them.
4. Set Small, Achievable Goals
Break down your savings goal into manageable milestones. For instance, if you want to save 50,000 Naira, aim to save 10,000 each month for five months. Track and celebrate small wins to keep yourself motivated.
5. Cut Down on Unnecessary Expenses
Audit your spending to identify non-essential expenses, like frequent dining out, excessive phone data plans, or impulse purchases. Opt for homemade meals, cheaper transportation methods, and free entertainment options.
6. Use Savings Challenges
Try savings challenges like the “52-week challenge,” where you gradually increase the amount you save each week or month. Another challenge could be the “No-Spend Challenge” on weekends or certain days to curb impulsive spending and save more.
7. Leverage High-Yield Savings Options
Consider savings plans with interest-earning potential. Some Nigerian fintech apps offer higher interest rates than traditional banks. Explore options like micro-investments in money market funds, where you can earn modest returns on your savings. others can give you up to 10% some 15% some preach on the security of your funds so the interest is usually around 8% P.A eg the e-BarcsMfb, Page Mfb StanbicIbtc etc.
8. Avoid Taking on New Debt
Limit borrowing to avoid adding repayment obligations to your monthly expenses, as debt repayment can reduce your ability to save. Focus on clearing any existing debt to free up more of your income for savings.
9. Build an Emergency Fund
Start building a basic emergency fund to cover at least 1-3 months of expenses. This fund prevents you from dipping into your savings for unexpected expenses.
10. Take Advantage of Employer Benefits
If your employer offers benefits like a pension plan or savings contributions, take full advantage. Employer-backed savings are an easy way to build wealth without much extra effort.
11. Side Hustles for Extra Income
Look into side hustles like freelance work, weekend jobs, or small businesses to supplement your income. Even a few extra thousand Naira can go a long way toward achieving your savings goals. Nonsense and ingredients! Why are you lying? Show us a liveable budget of 30k in Nigeria's current context. It's even a dumb idea to save from 50k in an economy experiencing hyperinflation. The 5k you save this month will be worth nothing a few months down the line. Only #11 makes some iota of sense. Oga, don't mislead the weak and vulnerable. |

malaria: Why can't the man put a stop to that nonsense Is he the first man to marry a woman richer than him . Unless the man is just playing along for a reason best know him . I pray he does not leave her someday. Imagine publicizing your bedroom activity all in the name of tik tok challenge that has no lessons to offer to anyone . Some kids will not even do this nonsense . That's a good question. Why can’t he put a stop to the ridicule? I wish I had the answer. Before seeing this video, I had no idea this couple even existed, so I don’t know their backstory or have enough context to answer accurately. However, as you’ve noted—and as she hinted with her below-the-belt jab about him being jobless—it seems possible that she contributes more to the relationship. It’s often challenging for a woman to be the breadwinner or the dominant partner (whether in reality or perception) in a relationship while still maintaining respect for her partner. This tends to be a follow-come character of women, and it takes the special grace of God to override this tendency. As a result, the man may start to irritate her, especially if she feels burdened by responsibilities like cleaning up after him, as she mentioned with the toilet flushing situation. I'll probably be as irritated if I have to flush after another adult. When the balls-bursting ridicule is constant, a man reaches the point where his psyche can begin to crumble, leaving him feeling emasculated. This often makes him appear even more irritating, creating a vicious cycle. The ridicule, abuse, and maltreatment intensify until he either reaches his breaking point and leaves, or the relationship ultimately falls apart. |

ValCon888: The problem with most of Africa, including the likes of Kenya and Nigeria is that these countries are historically embedded with tribal/ethnic/religious divisions.
These differences act as a catalyst for corruption and violence thereby hindering economic growth and prosperity. They also hinder the creation of powerful institutions and national systems anchored on meritocracy.
Without the above, it is nigh on impossible to create stable infrastructure that is critical for economic development.
Everyman for himself becomes the name of the game.
The political class are experts at this game, so they continue to divide and conquer us through religious and ethnic lines while they enrich themselves till perpetuity. Interesting points. However, have you considered that countries like Singapore for example, being heterogenous; multiethnic and multi-religious started out with an equally corrupt and politically volatile society, have succeeded where we've failed? Their success could largely be attributed to strong and visionary leadership. I believe the problem of leadership is a far greater issue than our diversity. |
