The worst thing is if your car breaks down on the highway, you will tow your car to the CNG technician. Someone spent 75k towing his car, because the gas was leaking and car can't start

Damn

600k convert to Gas
Den buy gas for 1200 per KG
No be juju be dat
Tinubu no get sense at all

Please I need mature minds advise on this topic.
My family recently discovered that my younger brother who has been in the seminary and was supposed to be a reverend father in few years time has a very big gambling issue.

Over the years, he has accumulated a gambling debt of 2M (borrowed majorly from loan sharks). When I discovered about the incidence, I hesitated involving my retired dad and mum because of the shock they might get hearing about this but when I discovered I couldn't pay the debt alone, i had to involve them. Thank God they handled it calmly. My dad and I have offset 700k debts already but I recently discovered that he is still borrowing and betting even recently (someone that has access to his details revealed this to me today). I am totally devastated and I don't know how to relay this to my parents to avoid heart attack. The gruesome part of the whole story is that he is JOBLESS because of his seminary school journey (which he has willingly pulled out from because of this issue).

Please my fellow nairanders, how do I handle this problem? I'm fed up

let him collect as much loan as he can get.. Repayment is not by force.
Wt time he wl be frustrated n block all the account himself.
Una run pay 700k but can't arrange 700k fr him to strt business or somtin

The Jumia Black Friday sales, what's your take on this?
How is it run and who has successfully gotten a products as always advertised e.g Phone worth 200k for 5k

Persephone1:
[i]"Marry a typical Nigerian Man at your own peril"

When I type these words, it's not from a place of hate towards men ( I don't hate anybody) It is from careful analysis of marriages to Nigerian Men which mostly lack genuine love, empathy and kindness. Nigerian Marriages are mostly driven by "needs" and "means" to an end. Too systematic and unnatural and the one with the highest bargaining chip gets the most benefit.

Our mothers didn't teach us enough about Men. They didn't know either until they got married, unfortunately they are still learning about Men too. That is why the popular saying "Ile oko ile eko ni" (Your husband house is a school) is usually the soothing balm to unfavourable experiences a wife has with her husband. One question I always ask myself when I hear these words as parting words of advice for young wife is. Does that mean she is getting married into a strange,unknown and possibly unfavourable world? Why represent her husband as an unending course? And will she ever graduate and be relieved of painful lessons?. Ask these women these questions and they will shake their heads in mockery but the truth is, They weren't taught enough about the Men they are getting married to. How would they when they didn't know who they are either. To understand another person there must be a certain level of self awareness you have reached yourself. This way you have enough level of intelligence to be a perfect judge of character. But when a woman believe all she needs to be is a good cook and good konji reliever then all she will seek is a man who has Kitchen and bed.


Men are the worst in this joke of an institution. Configured to believe all they need to posses is Financial ability to provide. The upbringing of the typical Nigerian Man is very very wrong. Trained with little to no empathy,kindness, self care, sense of belonging, self love but burdened with sense of responsibility brought up like a robot to "provide" only. Most Nigerian men are robotic minded, unable to connect emotionally without aide yet this men are expected to naturally see their brides as a part of themselves. Wishful thinking if you ask me. And when some men luckily achieve this, the society (Men and Women) mock him. Aside this, they don't readily know what they want and are easily tossed by the society.

We create a society devoid of emotional engagement but want the benefits emotions birth. Compassion and affections brings liberty, a man who lacks these will see his wife as his slave and property, he gets to do with her what he seem best and not what is good for her. We really have a long way to go as a Society.

Nigerian Men make terrible horsebands

No just die of depression cuz u very sick and don't know it

I am happy Amaechi is crying and he wl cry till he dies.
Same Amaechi saw nothing wrong wt Buhari 8yrs
Betrayed his brother
Established billions of project in Daura dat has no economic value
Dose supporting him bc of Obi are sick in der brain
Amaechi, Adesina, Keyamo, dat useless actor dat later moved to LP
God no go let dem gt peace of mind

kettykin:
Traders should think out of the box. Igbo traders should have a replica of Alaba , ladipo, computer village in the east, collaborate to have it in all states of the east . I don't really see trading in Lagos as a profitable business.

No be today.. Remeber during n after elections.. Igbos wl relocate, Igbos wil build der town lik dey did Lagos.
3weeks after election and Simon gave deadly warning.. Remeber 80% of Igbos in Enugu or so relocated to Lagos though night buses... Over 20 buses
Yorubas are ur gods in Nigeria.. Accept dis n hv peace.
If he set una no fit run go SS or North.. The safest place fr every Igbos in dis world is SW.. Yoruba land

Dis one nvr see presure
Same u dat defended or cannot convince ur LP guys is talking in d nonesense

christejames:
How is this defending biko, our brown envelope journalists?


He said the LP House members told him that the car is not for their personal use but for official use, meaning they will only be shortchanging themselves (LP) if they decide not to use it since the car is for each office...


That aside, just imagine if it's Obi that's the president, you think he will not convince the house members to go for a cheaper version of those cars, instead of this overpriced ones Tinubu has used to welcome them into his malfeasance?

u go explain tire.. I was disappointed by his comment.
It's a shame dat he wants to defend dem in d first place
Let dem reject it and if asked let him just say "he has told dem but individual choices and the leader who allows dat, plays a big role".
The little slight of Defence shows he is dumb

Yaya Bello boys hand work

OmugwoAunty:
Nairaland, please what should I do?

I gave birth 9 months ago and for some reason, my mom never expressed interest in visiting me and my child. She is a new wife now and I heard from some family members that when she wanted to come, her new husband said ‘your daughter has other people around, why are you worrying yourself’.

I did not take it personally at all. My mother has never been a dependable person. Me and my mom still talk everyday and my child is always on her status. This is her ONLY grandchild.

My mom’s elder sister’s (my aunty) youngest child is moving to my area. My aunty said that she’ll visit me during the move, and come and hold baby. She reached out to my mom and even told my mom that if they plan it, they can visit me together. My mom and my aunty are VERY close. I even consider my aunty my second mom in a way.

Suddenly, my mom starts calling me, saying she wants to plan her visit. I say okay. But with work and everything, my aunty will get here before her. She started telling me not to let my aunty into my house, saying that my aunty is a husband snatcher etc. she said my aunty will destroy my home. I tell her I don’t care about that. She started calling their mutual friends and telling them to tell me that my aunty is a husband snatcher. I did not fall for that.

Frustrated, she called my aunty and said that the truth is that my husband is uncomfortable. She said that MY husband is not from our town and that my husband’s people don’t like visitors. She said that I did not tell her about this out of respect.

My aunty called me and was apologizing, saying that she did not know. I responded and said that this is a lie. I even put my husband on the phone. Here’s my mistake - I sent her a screenshot showing my mom saying that she’s a husband snatcher and that’s why I should not let her into my home.

My aunty and I now agreed that we should let peace reign and that she won’t visit. She said she will still like to see me and we can meet somewhere. MATTER SUPPOSE TO END.

My mom decided to bring my aunty husband into this. She told my auntys husband that his wife is not respecting my husband’s wishes. My auntys husband now sent her my screenshot saying that he knows the real reason and that your child doesn’t even support you.

The screenshot has shattered my mom. She feels betrayed. My siblings who live with my mother are calling me a betrayer. I want to salvage the relationship between my siblings and I, not so much my mother. I have not spoken to any of them since the screenshot.

What do I do? How do I approach this.

Hahahahaha Kaiii pikin sense no gree leave u.
I won't lie to u.. Na ur mama character u get oo.
Anyways der is a way out.. Call her and ur siblings n beg dem explaining ur frustrations and how u made d mistk

Was der money for subsidy b4?
People ask unintelligent questions just for likes, politics n trash.
A man whose salary is 100k but to meet up with family will hv to borrow 20k for meat n stew every mnth.
If he decided to remove eating meat n making stew in his house.. Will u be asking him the 20k he saved wer he kpt it?
Not like the money is available or frm revenue, it's part of the reason dey keep collect loan here n der.

Eyahh
Same Man has supported Ipod wholeheartedly including 99% Igbos and dose here on Nairaland.
RIP Man.. Your brothers did u bad.. U shld hv moved to Lagos

nairalanduser23:
I am tired of my wife's quarrelsome behaviour which I think she reserves for me. I can be having a honest conversation with her and out of nowhere it will lead to a quarrel with her. It surprises me.

Strange enough, I have observed her communication with neighbours, work colleagues and she knows how to compose herself but when it is me even a funny comment can upset her. Even when I tell her I didn't mean her negative interpretation of a comment, she will still insist on her negative interpretation.

She sometimes talks to me in a way that seems unfriendly to the point that I desire her talking to me the way she talks to outsiders. I have talked to her about it but it is not helping matters. She acts like she is not ware of her tone but there is a stark difference between how she talks to me and other people.

I earn far more than her and take care of the house bills so money is not an issue. I feel like I am the only one proactive about peace in the marriage while she is care-free.

How can I deal with this?

My wife too was like dat, so when her Mom came I begin to redicule both of dem.
I strted behaving like her wt insult Infront of her Mom.. We go sitdwn do meetin like 10times until the matter tire her.. Now she has changed totally n evything is now back to normal.
If u no collect ursef by force she wl disgrace u outside especially wen her relatives are around
