Mystery9:
Did you seek my advice before sleeping with her

Good question.

No mind the ashawo Man. And he is even Married.

AmuDimpka:
after all these...I still have someone that is in Australia for over 10 yrs ...the person seff is finding it hard to secure air ticket to come home with his family


How una dey take look some of us ...una think say we are daft ?

Three things are involved,

1, Either the person is lying to you or he doesn't want you to keep begging him for money.

2, Except the person is extremely lazy.

3, And any other reason.


Truth is, naija isn't worth it. Travel first, you will obviously see the difference.

VAPatrick:



Just a quick clarification. There are no menial jobs in developed countries. Every job you do is valued and oyibo will never look down on you based on the job you do. For this reason, a manager in Naija will not have any problem taking up a cleaner job. Besides, there is no huge disparity in pay like we have in Nigeria. Unlike Naija companies where managers earn hundreds of thousands and cleaners 15K, here if I work as a cleaner and earn $2k monthly, a manager in my company can’t earn more than 4K. He will pay more tax than me and will not enjoy some benefits I get as a low income earner. If you’ve been to a developed country then you’ll understand how shitty Nigeria is.

Spot on.

I can attest to this.

NPFLADMIN:
Honestly, my dad knows a person in this situation.

He earns 1M as salary monthly and also has a side hustle which should be bringing him nothing less than 200k estimate. But the man still wants to leave 4 UK. And getting a job in the UK at the age of around 45+, isn't that almost impossible?


His wife is already there and she's doing care-job.

I still don't understand why he wants to move.

If I ever meet him with my dad before he leaves, I'll tell him "sir, you're making a big mistake!"

Well, he's still agile. I guess that's an advantage.

That money the Man is earning monthly in Nigeria is nothing.

My brother, relocating is far better and more profitable. There are lots of opportunities here. Jobs everywhere. If you are not lazy, you will make good money in UK.

Mrperfecto:
I will just be brief without writing too much.

We are based we have 4 children, my first child is 13 from my previous relationship, she has become very terrible, she doesn't listen to me or my wife. She tells her that she is not her biological mother and she cannot control her. She had threatened to call the police on my wife telling her if she touch her she will fight her back and call the police. She goes to school and closes at 3.45 her school is 10 mins walk from home, but she is always late for home.

She comes home around 6 sometimes 7pm , as I am writing now every friday she closes at 12.30 but she is still hasn't come back home yet.

I am on my way to work. I start at 6.30pm till 2.30am so I rarely get to see her and she only misbehaving when I am not around. So far we have seized her phone because we had found so many inappropriate messages exchanges between her and boys. We had also removed the TV from her room and her behaviour has gotten worse. She is behaving like she's possessed.

My wife and I are fed up. Even her siblings are tired of her. We want to send her back to Nigeria maybe in a boarding school until she is 18 in order to protect her younger ones. If we keep her and she continues with her terrible behaviour I may beat her badly and we may end up loosing all 4 children to the authorities.

Please what advice will you give to me concerning this issue?

My neighbor here did the same, they sent two of their kids back to naija, now they have peace of mind here.

Your peace is none negotiable. After the normal daily hustling here, you don't need anything that would disturb your mind when you get home or even when you are at work.

Charge wetin..

It's not compulsory

Do you think the white Man that manufactured the phone and advised that you charge it to 100% before usage is a fool? Smh.

The problem with Africans is that we don't learn, we don't listen and we feel we know too much. But truth be told, we know nothing.

I have come to understand that whatever these White people do, they have a valid reason for it. There are some things you may think doesn't make sense, find out well, you will notice there is a reason for it.

Dpharisee:
The reason is that the sensors are sometimes programmed to read 100 percent as FULL capacity, but if you start using it at 70% it may send a message to the system that 70% is the optimum, so anytime the battery gets to 70% it will indicate FULL and you won't be getting complete value for money.
That's why the manufacturer will always indicate charge before use.
Its also called calibration

All these kids on Nairaland, I am engineer with several years experience, this is the most basic thing you should know, for you that knows so much about Tech.

Your contribution is enlightening, informative and educative.

It's better to talk when you have something valid to say, but unfortunately, on this platform you tend to see so many people talk about what they know nothing about, thereby misleading others.

Thanks for your insightful contribution.

The only thing Arsenal will lift this season is their hands! 😃

What country will you like to relocate to, within the next 5 years?

tyinfinity:
Marry first .build a house and travel with your family if you desperately desire to leave Nigeria

Na so e dey easy? Lol.

It would be easier for him to achieve those things you just mentioned if he decides to japa.

The Naira is just rubbish, doesn't have much value.

IamDora:
Useless men, all they know how to do is complain complain and complain all the time

Watch how his fellow useless men will avoid this thread or create excuses for him, but when the table turns, they start insulting and talking down on the lady without knowing her side of the story,

If it was to be the lady saying this, the only comment you'll see from these useless men littered all over this forum will be:

“Olosho woman wan leave her marriage”
“She's for the street”
”This one don go marry Hookup girl”
“You can take a girl out of the street but you can never take the street out of her” etc etc

The way NL men reason sometimes leaves me in awe, sometimes I wonder if most of them even experienced a mother's love. They insult us 2.4.7 yet slide-in to our Dms with alternates.

Alpha Nonsense online, mighty simps offline

Hahahahaha.

Take it easy Madam.

You are taking it personal. No dey vex.

santaclaws:


You earn 400k and give 100k to a woman, which is 25% of your income. You have bills, family and personal expenses but you chose to be so 'generous' to a lazy woman who doesn't know the value of money...

Well, my advice for you is to increase the amount you give her to 200k. Good luck! 🙂

Imagine. Giving a girlfriend 100k. Not even a wife.

That doesn't make sense to me. Honestly.

Damn.

Naijagram:
Seeking your thoughts, everyone!!!

I work as a salaried individual and earn around 400k monthly.

However, my girlfriend constantly asks for money. I give her almost 100k every month and she feels it's not enough for her. She's even voiced discontent, suggesting I only send her money when she explicitly requests it.

I'm beginning to suspect her motives, as she seems solely focused on my income.

She never suggests saving or helps in cutting costs; her primary interest lies in spending everything.
Despite my genuine love for her, I can't keep up with her demands. I had hopes for our future together, but it seems unlikely now.

I'm considering a breakup as a solution.

Has anyone navigated a similar situation?

I am afraid you don't have a girlfriend, you only have a liability that would soon drain you.

Be wise as you step into the new year.

Stop being careless with your funds.

Breakup with her asap. Be wise bro.

Nicols:
Japa

May it come to fruition speedily.

You have a lot to gain if your japa plans comes to pass.

Jeon:
Quiting my job, getting married and becoming a full time African traditional submissive housewife with no say!!!!.

Happy!!?. 😕

Hahahahhaa. Hilarious.

Getting married isn't a bad idea, but you don't actually have to quit your job.

All the best for the year ahead.

Merry Christmas!!!

Persephone1:
Food is cheap in UK and even USA... Try buying anything outside food then you will know Nigeria isn't TOTALLY bad.

What do you mean by 'try buy anything outside food" lol.

Even clean cars here, it's far far cheaper than naija. I saw the prices of naija used cars recently, honestly I was shocked..... Everything now na million million million for naija. E no easy.

Truth is, you can't compare UK and Naija. Naija is far far far FAR behind in the scheme of things. The money you make here in a day would be enough to feed you and your family for a whole month.

The difference is absolutely clear.

If you actually desire a better quality of life, then you have to japa. That's the truth.

Even the environment in naija is polluted. Every kind of pollution you can think of.

ramalot:


As long as you were planning to also visit Brasilia on your trip. Otherwise, the total cost might outweigh the benefit, if you're based in Nigeria.
For anyone based outside Nigeria, it might be okay.

I say that for two reasons:

1. Brasilia generally isn't a very exciting place, so your vacation will most likely be to Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo or maybe Florianopolis.
This means you'll have to make a detour to Brasilia, at an additional cost of flights + accommodation for at least 1 night.

2. The cost of renewal outside Nigeria is significantly more than in Nigeria.
I can't remember the exact cost, but I believe the immigration fee + admin fee was in the $150 range.

Thanks for this.

I am based in the UK. The financial implication is not an issue as I have already checked the return flight rate as well as hotel accommodation. It's fair enough. I enjoy travelling round the World.

ramalot:


It's at Lote 5, SEN Av das Nacoes, 70800 - 400. Asa Norte, Brasilia

Their number is +55 61 2106-0050

Thanks boss.

I want to go for holiday in Brasil, I will use the opportunity to get a new passport there since I can get it same day. That makes sense.

ramalot:
I saw a thread on the front page a few days ago, titled "Can This Happen At Nigerian Embassies?"

The thread had a pic depicting a lady's social media post about getting an emergency US passport in a few hours, at a US embassy.
In that thread, the overarching sentiment of posts was - that could never happen at a Nigerian embassy.

Well, the definitive answer is.. YES, it can and it does.
I know this, because I did it only 3 months ago. A standard Nigerian passport renewal, not an emergency passport like thaty lady got.
And no, I'm not talking about any "back doors" or "greasing" any palms.

I responded in that thread, but felt it's also relevant to emphasize it in detail in a new thread. Nigeria is incredibly incompetent at most things, but once in a while, something works. As they say, even a broken clock is correct once a day.


Just for context, I travel with a US passport, but use my Nigerian passport when going to Nigeria, or some African countries.
I've renewed my US and Nigerian passports in multiple countries (as I travel quite a bit), so I've had some experience with both.

From the screenshot in that previous thread, it's clear the lady was NOT in the US when she got the emergency passport. In the US, we don't go to an "embassy" to get a passport, as "US embassies" don't exist in... the US. The emergency passport is no big deal and comes with only 5 or 6 pages, so you still need a standard renewal when you get home.

Also, the current estimated time for a US passport within the US is 11 weeks, and the "rush" service is 5-7 weeks. There has been a lot of passport backlog, similar to the situation in Nigeria, but it's a bit better now, I believe. I renewed my US passport in Argentina last year, and got it in about 2 weeks.

Anyway, I went to Brasilia, Brazil 3 months ago, to renew my Nigerian passport, as that was the only passport-issuing location in the region I was traveling. I first visited the Nigerian embassy in Argentina and was told they don't produce passports, but I could get it in Brazil on the same day. I was very skeptical of that information, because... Nigeria.

As it turns out, the entire process from getting there, to receiving my new passport was a few hours. It wasn't some emergency passport either. It was a standard passport. I paid online > booked an appointment > went there. Paid an administrative fee > did the capturing and walked out with my new passport all in 2-3 hours. I was literally the only person being attended to at the Nigerian embassy, though. It was empty, except about 4-6 embassy staff I saw. The guy who attended to me was also very polite and professional (something lacking in most Nigerian operations).

So, not only can you get your international passport at a Nigerian embassy in a few hours, it's a permanent passport - not an emergency one. Shout out to the Nigerian embassy in Brasilia, Brazil. The embassy in New York is a different story. Took me many months and headaches to renew there, in 2017.

The attached image is from a video I took outside the Nigerian embassy, in Brazil.

Quite impressive.

Could you please send me the address of the Naija Embassy in Brazil?

With that spirit and mentality, I bet you won't regret it.

It is clear you're a simp.

Pls get to meet mature guys who are financially strong and mentally stronger.... They'll teach you how to be a real man.

You should have made love to her long agao...... While giving her money and pampering her. She will forget any useless principle and become your sworn woman.


Watch puoorn with her and make out wit her. Then when she is so wet and Hot.... Rush and tell her you are late for a meeting. She go wan craze.... Then chat her up with sex chat later and thank her for being yours. Send her some cash.

Then tell her you really want to make her feel like a woman and take her on adventures. Describe it sexually to her.... That's all.

Then go out and buy alomo for yaself, buy pineapple 🍍 for her too it will make her veryyyyyy wet.

The watch 365 days movie together or any 18++ Filipino movie. She will not know when she is riding you and screaming your name. Use a condom if your pull out game is weak. But you should last for more than 2hrs inside her while changing styles at interval.

Get an alpha male to mentor you, so you dont shame your generation.

My girlfriend of 8 months has broken up with me because she says I have no plans for her

I was surprised by the outburst cus she is still very young just 19 I don't know what she means by this statement because non of us are ready to marry now

I love this girl so much... I suspect that because her birthday is coming up next month and I haven't said anything about it so she feels I don't take her seriously


I have pleaded and talked to her but she is adamant about her decision that she is tired as I'm wasting her time


I haven't talked about her birthday yet cuz I'm having a hard time, things are pretty tight with me but she just can't understand


Please guys what should I do I'm truly in love with this girl that I'm having a hard time moving on

You should consider yourself lucky.

Sooner or later, you will realize it was a blessing in disguise.

Move on bro. Chase better things.

I don't know why you guys are always crying over a girl. Smh. Go and make money bro. Add value to your life. Na Dem go dey chase you....
