AnonPoet: See me see trouble o! I made a huge amount of money in December 2021, so in January 2022 i thought of saving the money in a place that will give me interest by December 2022. I planned to use the interest to flex or maybe even go on vacation sef. Someone recommended a platform (I will not mention their name yet) to me on this app that I should lock my money there, that I will get high interest that I can use to run some other stuff when I collect my money. What this person didn't tell me was that once I lock the money I won't be able to access it on a “due date”.
Fast forward to last week, my laptop crashed and I needed to get a replacement. I didn’t have enough money in my bank so I just thought to break my savings at least na my money and i really needed the laptop to continue my job. That was how I was told I cannot remove the money until when the thing unlocks itself. I WAN RUN MAD!! Guys i want to know the next step to take, please o, i really need to remove my money to buy this laptop. I know I made a mistake by not reading Terms and Conditions, but I just felt like saving money should be flexible and stress-free.
Is this how all savings platforms are? Can’t a man just save money and get it back once they need it.
Which other savings apps with good interest and zero stress can I use in the future? 1. FairSave by FairMoney 2. Cowrywise 3. Bank Which of these three is recommended abeg?
Bros na wa ooh! Just wait till e unlock. U dey find where u go lock money, dem don lock am you dey vex
Mayemavins: I have been seriously contemplating, she Aborted my pregnancy after we both went to hospital confirmed it and we both agreed to keep the baby.
Moreover I really need the child, she connived with her sister and they Aborted it. I'm thinking to go the Police station to make a report and arresther!!
Pls should I? Many more things surrounded that Pregnancy. I really need a child.
This story get as e be... E get wetin you no dey talk... Cos I've never heard of any lady that would abort a pregnancy when there is an eager man waiting to take care of the baby. I'm suspecting two things, number 1, either you dey lie about your desire for a baby and she doesn't really trust you about your intentions. Or She knows the baby wasn't yours and just wanted to end the drama before it begins. Make una sitdon talk you no fit arrest her as you no get legal right in this matter

DrDunamis: Hmmm... You need to know this... Even if the Lord Jesus should appear to you now in person it will make no difference at all to your unbelieving because man was giving the inate ability to believe truth. If you dont believe then you've chosen that path. I have experienced several divine encounters that have reinforced my faith in God, but primarily my faith in God is from His words.
Rom.1.16 - For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes--Jews first and also Gentiles. Rom.1.17 - This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, "It is through faith that a righteous person has life." Rom.1.18 - But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who push the truth away from themselves. Rom.1.19 - For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. Rom.1.20 - From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God. Rom.1.21 - Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. The result was that their minds became dark and confused. Rom.1.22 - Claiming to be wise, they became utter fools instead. Rom.1.23 - And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people, or birds and animals and snakes. Rom.1.24 - So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies. Rom.1.25 - Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies. So they worshiped the things God made but not the Creator himself, who is to be praised forever. Amen. Rom.1.26 - That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. Rom.1.27 - And the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved. Rom.1.28 - When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never be done. Rom.1.29 - Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, fighting, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. Rom.1.30 - They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They are forever inventing new ways of sinning and are disobedient to their parents. Rom.1.31 - They refuse to understand, break their promises, and are heartless and unforgiving. Rom.1.32 - They are fully aware of God's death penalty for those who do these things, yet they go right ahead and do them anyway. And, worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.

Travicon: Hello Nairalanders, I will try as much as possible to make the write-up short.
I am a 21years old guy at a Russian university with two Nigerian roommates (In the hostel though). We averagely get the same amount of money as an allowance monthly, but mine always finishes first.
I don't spend unnecessarily on myself, and we cook together. I discovered after two months of staying together that they care less about buying things that we generally use in the room. For instance, I always buy food season, detergents, and cooking oil (quite expensive).
I cook most of the time. Anytime I decide not to cook, we always go hungry and I can't cope with that. This has made my cash always run out faster and I can't stop them from eating my food or using the things I buy.
There was a time also I lend the last money with me (100k in naira) to my best friend then in Nigeria because he claimed his dad was sick and promised to repay by month-end. I didn't have anything to take me through the remaining days of the month but I gave it out because he was a close friend. Month-end, I couldn't get money from my sponsor because of some issues. I contacted my guy but he stopped replying to me on WhatsApp. I managed to get 20k but the rest is probably history now.
Whenever people talk about their problems, I always feel for them to the extent of giving out my money even if it's the last cash on me. I have never had a girlfriend, but I don't always have the strength to reject if a girl asks for airtime or money from me (including my mum and sisters though)
I always try to go to any length to see people happy even if it means borrowing money from another person for them. I'm that foolish. Generally, I'm too soft-hearted and nice but I don't know how to solve this problem. Someone advised me I should get a girlfriend who should always be angry with me if I'm being too nice to people and that will help me solve the problem to some extent but I think it won't.
I'm not from a rich family, not even from an average family. I'm even from a polygamous home so I know what it means to have suffered as a Nigerian. I was on the street and I guess that's what is making me this weak emotionally. I'm a simp all-around in my life and relationship with people. People are always cheating on me, taking advantage of who I am.
I NEED genuine HELP, please.
It's quite a mild and major dilemma you've found yourself. But I'd just like to find out if you truly knew what it is to be nice and the inspiration of your niceness. Are you nice because of your love for God and the inspiration of the scriptures or you just think it's just the humane thing to do? If the former is the reason then you'd have no challenge with all these things that you've highlighted taking the Master Jesus Christ as an example to emulate cos you're already like Him. Although you could and should become more prudent in your dealings with people like learning not to borrow that which you cannot give out as a gift, setting boundaries with your so called "friends" and creating a plan that will lift off the financial constraints from one person alone when all 3 benefit. But if the latter is your purpose or reason for being nice, then it would have selfishness with it like inadvertently expectation others to show you same level of love and respect you show them. While this isn't bad or wrong, in reality it's not ethical with being a Christian to live like that and thus your feeling the way you do right now becomes justified otherwise cheer up and be joyful.
YoudeyVexme: She left home since 2006 nobody heard from her... not even when our father died. There was no contact at all.
Surprisingly she came visiting yesterday looking thin and sick with a swollen feet. After much pestering to tell us the families whats the cause of it she said she's HIV positive since 2011.
Now the thing is what's the Implication of living with an hiv patients and if it's you would you accept such situations even if it's your blood to live with you?
Stop the HIV+ stigma, it's even more hurtful than the disease. Yes it's a transmissible viral disease but there is treatment for HIV patients to reduce viral load and the drugs are all free. She just needs to be religious with her drugs, maintain proper hygiene and avoid sharing sharp objects with her.
It has always been a dream since I was 10, now 19 and my dream is reality.
I will soon work my way to NY to recide in Alabama.
My dream of becoming Governor of New York, U.S Secretary of State and subsequently becoming U.S President (after we amend the constitution to make naturalized citizens eligible to run for the Presidency) is materializing.
Just a week plus here, I know the difference between a first world country and a third world shithole.
I implore all of you to work your ass off to the U.S and live that shithole to your selfish politicians.
#GodBlessAmerica!!!
You're a teenager no wonder. When shit hits the fan then you'll understand why aged Africans return home to stay. Becareful of the unholy descriptions you give of your country.
Adeleketoyin: My people please I need your advice.
I'm having a lil loggerhead with my Fiance.
My fiance works in a company, which doesn't give him time to come home or live in his rented apartment for long. I currently run a confectionery shop in my father's house.
My Fiance however wants to have a joint account with me when we get married soon in this my confectionery business. According to him, he'll support me, to help him get free in the future to stop his salary work and probably start another business without affecting the family.
But I don't want to have any joint account or partner with anyone in this my confectionery business. I want my business without any check or partner. He's insisting on joint account to run the business and its getting into our relationship.
BadRadio: I am 100% correct about her cheating... my brother is out of the country for a year now... I am just about the only person that knows about it in the family, do I keep shut and continue minding my own crap, or do I burst bubbles?
Your silence makes you an accomplice and wicked to your own brother
medropoly: Damn.. Having plenty siblings is the beginning of your endless suffering as a senior child. Am saying this from experience... Damn... Just imagine how having plenty children has changed the whole scenario of the family life,. The mother becomes a ruthless nagging woman and verbally abusing her children Father tends to shy away from his responsibilities., Children fight and disrespect each other constantly.. Verbal and physical abuse becomes the order of the day.. Parent fighting each other in front of kids..
Damn... How I wish when she gave birth to the forth child she stopped giving birth as she promised, but instead she added four more children to the squad.. Giving bullshit stories of "Na God dey give pikin, maybe Na dis one God go use change my story" and bla bla bla
Omo life hasn't be the same, Imaging the the first child being just 22 and already have 7 other siblings behind him,
Cooking and eating of food Na....... , let me don't even go there
Una wey una mama no born plenty pikin no knw Wetin God do for una
Lift up Holy hands and be grateful to God In my family we have more children than yours and went through some hard phases too but in the end God is great. Be grateful
KiNg0G: Have been clubbing since I was 16 and now that am an adult it's getting worst..
Wednesday I club, Saturday you find me there... Sunday it's confirmed. This has really eaten my finances deeply being a night walker I can't just help myself.
I tried several times buying same drinks I buy in the club outside at a cheaper rate, vsop and the rest and keep them in my fridge just to keep me indoor during weekends like this.. No way! As soon as it gets dark the urge to go mingle around with different new faces, pick new figure 8 and probably get to meet new ballers in town always wins.
This is an habit I really want to let go, please clubbers how can I go about it?
Be free from your ungodly addiction in Jesus name,Amen. You must be born again
Classickj: A Ugandan female marriage counselor has told women to avoid giving their husbands money.
The Ugandan counselor identified as Zaituni Kakyama, said in a TV interview that even if a woman can afford to help her partner financially, she should not do so. W.T. H According to her, God made women to have a desire for more than they need, particularly clothing and shoes, so that men are driven to work continually and not become lazy.
Kakyama added that men should let women spend their money so it can make them work harder for more. She also urged women to put their egos aside and remain committed and polite to their spouses, no matter how successful they are.
She said; “Whether she gets more money than he does, he has to take care of his wife and family as a head. “I don’t give my man money because when I do, that leads to his destruction when he gets into the comfort zone of being given. “You find women from such marriages saying their men don’t love them. Remember how you convinced that woman to marry you, small things matter.”

ReneJay: Good day nairalanders. I want to seek your advice on behalf of my uncle.
Pardon me for any typographical errors. My uncle has been married to this lady for almost 16 years. They have two kids. According to his narration, the first five years of marriage was wonderful.
But things took a sudden twist later on. The wife has changed in both attitude and manners. The man is a civil servant and earns 70k monthly and his wife is a teacher. She earns 35k monthly.
The twist is, the wife has stopped supporting the man financially. In fact, anything she buys for the family or for the children, she asks for the money, even as little as spice cubes. My uncle had to report the matter to my father, his brother, after several years of enduring her strange attitude. My father called her to table the matter. She admitted the accusations. In her defence, she said it is the responsibility of the man (husband) to provide for the family. what broke my uncle's heart was the day the rent of their house was due, he hadnt pieced together the rent and was going about to seek loans from friends and family. He asked her if she knew who to loan from and she said she didn't know who to loan from. To his dismay, he got wind from a friend that his wife was looking for a piece of land to buy with God knows how and where she got the money from. She even told him she doesn't have a dime to add to whatever he's able to raise. He does everything in the house from A to Z.
He needs advice on what to do. Should he file for divorce and hope things would get Rosy enough to start afresh with someone else? Or should he call for a meeting with her family and our family to try to mediate and make her see reasons why she should be supportive?
Matured advice please.
While not supporting her attitude towards her husband, tell your uncle to grow up and be a man. There are no laws that state she cannot get properties of her own. This all boils down to understanding and communication. If he has been treating her rightly she'd not have been acting this way. On the other hand there are ladies with such mindset that you can't change but you just have to adapt to living with them like that. He wants to divorce and start over? The energy he's using to think like this should be put into his finances to grow his finances.
FERNANDEZISBACK: Yeah you do need one..if you feel it's ok to be flogged in public for wrongdoing..
Never believed a sane being will be a supporter of this nonsense... BS...*pukes*..
If you want to speak as a learned fellow, didn't you observe that they breached a law that is known by everyone in that community and was established by the chief who is the ruler(government) there?
Playloaded: A Nigerian lady has cried out on social media after her husband called his sidechick to cook for him in her presence.
According to the lady, her husband demanded for pepper soup at an odd hour and she felt so tired to prepare it at the time because she just got back from work.
Her husband then called his sidechick in her presence who agreed to do the cooking.
https://twitter.com/mipor007/status/1530297035433332740?t=YErS1WOkYO1bOaeK_GtWPA&s=19[/quote]While not supporting the action of this fellow towards his wife, there are vital points in this story that you all are failing to observe and blaming the man. Fish Peppersoup is just like indomie, it doesn't require any special planning, I know this because I cook. Secondly he's clearly doing everything in her presence because she was very rude and disrespectful in her communication with him concerning the whole matter, that is why you're seeing his Alpha male attitude which is only demonstrated when a woman has exceeded her limits. Thirdly to tell you that something is wrong with this lady, this kind thing happen, instead make you observe how you ho take fix your marriage na twitter you dey go post. The time e take you write that post, you for done even buy the fish clean am finish that na if them no clean am for where you buy am. Finally this woman is a cheat too, no ask me how I take know,I just know.
On this episode, I visited a sacred temple in Benin Republic, known as the python temple. This is a temple where they worship pythons in Benin Republic.
In Benin Pythons are sacred, you are not allowed to hurt or hunt them. You could go to jail for killing a Python.
Barrister026: It's so annoying children of nowadays think because they got baby mamas up and down they got no respect for their elders, infact once they notice you haven't had a child yet no matter how old you are, they start looking at you like their age mates or even older than.
My kid bro who I single handedly passed down wears to back then has the audacity to talk to me anyhow just because he is a father of a 5 year old boy and another one is on the way. Well that's how he's been reason he toke a lot of beatings from me back in the days...
The recent happenings happened this morning after so many years, I came home for a very close relative's burial same with our eldest bro whose in his mid 30s. Discussion we were having, one thing led to another... this kid bro of mine flared up shouting at the top of his voice to my elder bro...mom telling him to shut up he's still talking...I immediately pounce on him in the presence of his wife and kid, I gave him the beating of his life, squeezed that his lip he was using to insult our eldest bro, not minding his wife watching.
Yes I'm angry with him, the day his wife gave birth out of wedlock, he was jubilating that he the last born first us to give our parent's a grand child. I say see this one, if I wanted to have kids I would have, how many ladies has tried to trap pregnancy on me all through this years. it's just man not yet ready yet, and been married don't Just freak me yet.
Mom been gingering me to apologise to him, but I refused? Why would I?
Yes I was wrong for beating him in the presence of his pregnant wife and kid, I didn't mean to embarrass him...I felt bad myself after the whole thing.. but before he was a husband he was first my kid bro.
You didn't do anything wrong. He should come and apologise to everyone of you.
Wizzyonyxphoenix: Happy sunday guys. Please I seriously need your help. I produce way too much urine, especially at night. I practically wake up every 30 minutes to use the restroom. It's too much.
The worst part is that I'm merely EIGHTEEN!!! Please how do I curb this anomaly guys? I dread to think what would happen if i enter UNI and live in the hostel with my fellow guys. They might tag me a criminal, or worse, I might be attacked by one during one of my endless trips to the bathroom.
You guys should help me abeg.
Rare to find diabetic teenagers but it's not completely impossible so you could be one or you might just have excessive blood sugar volume. Experienced something similar while growing up and I was always spiting and peeing and would have thought to be pregnant if I were to be female. Treated with local concoctions though
Franklin158: Yes we all have had to deal with This at one point or the other with most churches clearly stating that once you're within the church premises you should either turn off or put your phone on silent, but still sometimes we forget and it can be pretty embarrassing to have your phone ringing out loud during service in full glare of the congregation especially if you have a somewhat funny ringtone or a circular song with lyrics that can cause a stir when listened to.
So have you ever been in such a situation and how did you manage it?
It's not just funny and embarrassing, it's rude, irreverent and appalling. If this were to be the old testament church many would have died for it. Once you're going to church you put your phone on silent if you can't switch it off or better still don't go with it. To have your phone ringing in church just shows how Spiritually immature one is
ExAngel007: A Nigerian lady has shared the screenshot of an exchange she had with a vendor who insulted her.
The lady had reached out to the vendor in search of shoes to purchase. Her shoe size got was shocking to the vendor and she made an unflattering comment to the intending buyer.
Does the person know what size 45 shoes mean for a female? I find the vendors response comic, though subtly rude but comic. Could have politely asked did you mean 35 or 25
