Ukraine needs their women and few men that will survive after the war to repopulate. I guess that's why women are exempted from war.

Lol, Pat Utomi never had any business with Peugoet rather it was Volkswagen, two different companies!

That said, you should be able to detect a blackmail when you see one. Nigeria had so many vehicle assembly plants in the 1970's and 1980's to early 90's before the military ruined the economy and they all collapsed. It has nothing to do with Pat Utomi. If you like bring the best technocrat to manage a sensitive industry in Nigeria, but it won't stop it from collapsing if the economy is not right for it. Peugoet, Steyr, Volkswagen, Mercedes etc. were all operating in Nigeria before they all collapsed about the same period, were they all being managed by Pat Utomi?

If he isn't good, why has he continued to manage LBS so successfully since inception?

Running a business school is one thing. Being a successful businessman is another thing. Many people can talk the talk but can they walk the talk?

Buhari has done a lot on infrastructure than combined 16 years of PDP ruling. Talk of roads, bridges, railway, etc. Abeg buhari tried

Good evening Gents. Pls, what are your thoughts in buying semi detached duplex in gated estates built by reputable real estate coys in Abuja in places like Gwarimpa, Karsana and Life Camp, compared to using same cash to buy a plot in far outskirts satellite villages to build a fully detached and fenced one? Aside the obvious proximity and the perks of being close to the city center, will it be wise
financially,consideringg factors like security (since obviously for comfort reasons, building a fully detached and fenced personal duplex is better) to consider a semi-detached already built one?

*Pics of semi-detached duplex/terrace for illustration

If you are young and still an employee, buy the semi detached duplex in the gated estate due to proximity to your workplace. It will save you stress.

Whereas, if you are self employed or retiree, buy a plot of land in the city outskirts and build your fully detached duplex. You will love and enjoy the serenity and peace of living in outskirt of the city

Right now am at home crying, seriously in pain, each time I see my son call me daddy and telling me I love you, I just break down and weep....what kind of father am I, since I lost all my resources none of my family call or want to associate with me, my wife has been my only companion, she knows this is not the man she married and think believe I can rise again, but I have lost hope, if I tell you ow much I lost within the space of three years, it giving me headache

Your wife is not a good woman. When you were selling your land, car, etc , why didn't she stop you against selling your properties for gambling? She should have been very firm with you. There is no way she won't be aware during the period

I just want to share my story to the world.
When I graduated, I was so blessed that I didn’t hurt for job, before I got one. I was working in the bank and was paid well, within a year I rented an apartment and got married, things was falling in place and I felt on top of the world before I started gambling, how I started it, I can’t explain. I lost all my resources and money within two years, I was sacked eventually and life became worst for me.
I got another job and promised my wife, family and kids to be a responsible father, but the urge for gambling keep coming, I couldn’t control the urge, I lost the job again.
My wife believed am a good man, but I see myself like am cursed and it is not that am getting money from the gambling.
I am sick and tired of life, I am a failure, sometimes I feel like committing suicide, I have brought shame to my family and kids.
Please I need help, am jobless, money can’t stay in my hand, I will go to gambling shop and lavish it.
Am I cursed, I need help

When you were working at the bank, how did you still have time for virtual betting? I thought bank job is very hectic and consume all your time. Were you a high staker? Cause most people who bet don't stake more than 1000 naira on a bet.

At what age does a woman become an evening newspaper?
Just curious.

Who even started calling older women an "evening newspaper" on nairaland sef? @OP, There is nothing wrong with ageing. Its a state of mind.

7. They have trust issues
When you say your enemies are after you, a Nigerian woman’s first assumption is that it’s your ex trying to kill you and if indeed it’s your ex, what did you do to warrant such, Mr. Man?

6. They reply texts after 3-5 business days
After Mr. Swindler sends that first “I need $10,000 now, my enemies are after me” text, he will have to wait for three business days before a Nigerian woman will reply to him. Why? Because she’s busy not putting all her eggs in one basket. When she eventually replies, she will say, “Babe, were you able to sort this out? I wasn’t with my phone.”

5. They have the sixth eye
Yes, they know things even before they happen. They know when their boyfriends are planning to cheat or which of their friends is secretly jealous of her new wig. They would definitely be able to tell when someone is trying to use them to sponsor their lifestyle. Forget all those Instagram vendor scam stories and listen to me.

4. He is just boyfriend number 5
To fall for Mr. Leviev’s scam means they’re committed to the relationship and we all know that Nigerian women don’t put their eggs in one basket.This is not to say that they cheat; they are just much happier when there’s a number of people to choose from.

3. The small money they have is in PiggyVest
Nigerian women and PiggyVest’s Safelock feature are like 5&6. Once they make a substantial amount of money, they’re saving it and you know once you lock the money, you can’t use it until the release date. This arrangement can’t work for Mr. Leviev, who wanted liquid money every three to five working days.

2. They don’t have money
Which money do they want to send to him and how? In this economy? How much do Nigerian women make and how much access do they have to loans? LOL, this idea is even funny.

1. They have two heads
First things first, Nigerian women have two heads. That you don’t see the two heads doesn’t mean it’s not true. One head is not enough to tell when someone is about to scam you because they use manipulative tactics to fool you into believing them. This is where the Nigerian woman’s second head comes in.

I just watched an interesting movie 'Tinder Swinder' on Netflix, it was a real life movie about Shimon Hayut who met women on Tinder before swindling them for millions of dollars after catfishing them into believing his name was “Simon Leviev” and that he was the son of Israeli diamond tycoon Lev Leviev.

Here are my reasons why Nigerian ladies can't fall for the tinder swindler

Please I need nairalanders advice. I'm in dilemma.

I'm sorry the story is long please take your time and sorry for any mistakes.

My sister and her husband got married late 2018, she was pregnant then.
Few months after their marriage the husband lost his job. He was sacked because he embezzled over 5m from his company.

Note: he dated my sister for only a year before their marriage and only bought a phone (infinix) for my sister during their courtship. He has no car nor a house from this money.

We got to know that he is a chronic gambler. He can bet 200k on a single game.

For 2 years he was out of job, my sister supported him and never complained, we also do not have problem in my family. We didn't even act as if we know that he was out of job for that 2yrs. After my sis gave birth the MIL stayed with them for a year with my sister footing the bills, the MIL eats only Amala every night and my sister covers every damn expenses and still cook for the house. She takes care of her family without complaints.

The problem is that the husband is never satisfy, never appreciate my sis for a day and always complain anytime she did not cook for those 2yrs. He has pushed my sister to collect loans of 40k twice from LAPO without paying back. He sold almost all the properties at home for betting, they have no TV, nor fridge.

In late 2021 he got a job in a restaurant with a salary of 80k and he promised to be given my sister 25k every month. Since then until now he has never given my sister 1penny from the 25k, he has never bought a clothe nor shoe for his child since he was born. He use his salary to either womanize or Bet. He has borrowed money in almost all the loan apps and my sister keep receiving messages from this loan apps almost everyday, I've also received a message from them before. Their landlord asked then to leave his house because they couldn't pay for house rent and he kept receiving messages from this loan Apps too. He doesn't talk to my sister, they live as neighbors in the house. They only share greetings at home unless he wants to ask my sister for money. They behave as strangers, always shut my sister off.

His company kept 150k with him for 2days and he used the money to play betting not until they start chasing him with calls before he borrowed the money from his sister to settle the bills.

He no longer go to work again, he told my sister yesterday that he has resigned because he's working on a project that will give him twice his investment. We're suspecting that he was sacked (job not up-to 6months)

So last year I advised my sister to start a Thrift so that she can be saving her money and use the money to start a business this year.

My sis called me today and told me that her husband has resigned. He no longer go to work and I advised her to get an apartment outside and give the man space. She has advised him so many times, pray for him, supported him. Uptil today we've never questioned the man, we just want him to treat my sis right but he's not ready to change.

Please nairalanders what do you think we can do? Do you think I gave my sister the right advice?

I don't really want my sis to divorce her husband. But she cries almost everyday.

How old is your sister's husband?

Emer00:
Please let God use you to help me, I'm not scam but there no way to prove it and it's getting worse.... You will be helping my entire generation by giving anything. There is no where to even borrow again and being kicked out is imminent.... I need like than 500k to solve all these problems...
May God reward you for your kindness and generosity please help..

You are a lazy man. You think most men here don't have financial challenges and it is only you that is broke. 500k? Just like that! You think money is picked on the tree? Who cares if your wife is pregnant or hungry? In fact, it shows you are an irresponsible man.

You better go to site and do bricklayer jobs. You will be paid per day. Then, you can FEED your pregnant wife and children rather than sitting your ass on the chair with your phone and hoping for someone to give you money you didn't work for.

LAZY MAN

Fantastic. Investment in railway transportation is critical to our economy.

Seriously, osinbajo is the best candidate for APC to contest against PDP. Tinubu is not loved by south south and south east. But osinbajo won't have such problem

Humans are very cruel. Tolerance is very important.

But she done hit menopause already, I don't think she will ever get pregnant

Have you heard of IVF? She can still born through IVF.

There is nothing like blood money in reality. It is nollywood that started such nonsense

Restroom:
My brother cars dey o......just know the one you are going for and the purpose you have in mind.

Like here ,I got a good one for 180,000. A friend sold to me. Generally, i observe that tokunbos are more expensive. Cheap cars can be anywhere from 150,000 to 500,000 depending on how fortunate you are.

Some have plenty cars in their compound ,wasting away. Sometimes when they see abuyer, they just give it away.

My advise,.meet some mechanics around. You will be surprised how cheap some even big cars are when you price from mechanics. If you have 200k to 300k you go see a good car ,even though not the type that can do Uber. Add something to it, you can get.clean Uber type ones from mechanics if you are forunate for 300-400k.

But mind you, keep small thing for general maintainenance.

The secrets na mechanics.

Tell them your budget....they will get cars for you, na you go tire especially January or February like this so.

Lol . 300k for a car?? Na jalopi it can buy and not a good car. Definitely you don't know how much cars are sold in Nigeria.

Lies
Lies.
U can still get @ 150k @ Abule-Egba.
Minus agent

You can't get mini flat at 150k at Abule Egba. The least you can see is 250k annual rent minus agent.
