If you are poor or struggling, you can never mingle with the rich. They will avoid you too.
You surrounding, friends, church, school is a good gauage of your level.
Friendship must be nearly balanced else people will avoid you.
There are categories of richness.
Those who are too busy to mingle, always in their office or shops or warehouse running their businesses are to me still struggling.
Real rich people have already set their business on autopilot that runs with little impact or time from themselves thereby giving them time to eat or flex their money.
Those are the real rich that can even turn your life around and not the workaholic type whose businesses can’t run without them. Those ones are slaves to their own money.
A rich man that has created time for his own flexing is just like the poor man you castigated because he has enough time on his hand to go to golf house and play, horse riding, long tennis and go on vacations.
Some even have enough time to join politics and attending regular rallies and conventions while their businesses are running with little impact.

It is not the size of the dog in a fight that matters, but the size of the fight in a dog. Nigeria is a super power by its very configuration, if we get things right.

Northerners are trying, I like them a lot. They are the poorest yet the most humble. If you hear anything like internet crimes, drug dealers, scammers etc, northerners never comes to mind.

Well, poverty comes with humbleness.

Being poor is annoying enough, adding arrogance to it will put the final mail on the coffin.
Hopefully, Nigeria will get it right.
Compliment bro

Lagos as a whole bro. Lagos is roughly about 3000 km sq, while Toro lga is roughly about 7000 km sq. Lagos is small bro.

How about Niger state that is bigger than Lagos about 20 times? Now you understand what Peter Obi meant when he said that lands are just wasting in the North.

Make I shock you small. Niger state for example is bigger than Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg combined, but Netherlands is one of the top 3 exporters of food globally.

That tiny Netherlands can feed whole Nigeria if we open our market for their products, peak milk is an example.

And Toro lga is not the only one bigger than Lagos, there are more, like, a lot. Empty land wasting away.

Na wa oooooooooooo

At bolded ....... that means these countries are really really small.
The north is really trying in terms of agriculture.

There is a market i go in the north, they always bring grains like maize, soya beans etc to the market in trailers all year round. All year round and i do wonder who and where do they farm this massive crops? despite all these crops being done manually and not tractor.

pansophist:
Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria, and the most densely populated. To put into perspective how small Lagos is, Toro local government, just one of the 13 LGA's in Bauchi state is bigger than Lagos twice.

And because Lagos has a major airport, the formal capital, a seaport, and a major internal economy, it's stress level is off the roof. And oh, making things more expensive as well.

Waoooooo

Toro lga is bigger than lagos? Is it lagos state as a whole or just lagos island? Because lagos as a whole from ikorodu to badagry is quite big for a local government though I understand the north has a big land mass.
Niger state is bigger than the whole south east and that is very crazy even though south east has far more population

I get solar forget the hype na 6 hours max I dey get from am.

Well, I use solar too with 2 panels, 1 X 200ah and 1.5k a inverter and it gives me Atleast 14 hours light when full for a total of 120 watt per hour - tv 60w, bulbs 30w, Dstv 15/20w, solar fan 15w.

So I don’t know you battery capacity or your power consumption.

tensazangetsu20:
I work from home and I work up to 16 hours a day.

30k per week equals 120k per month.

With 3 months money of 360k, you can set up a 200ah battery, 2k a inverter and 2 solar panels thereby writing off gen usage.

I think you should give it a thought

For a serious relationship leading to marriage , do you encourage going through your partner's phone for trust to be built ?.

I discovered my partner has been flirting with other guys online, thanks to the fact that I always go through her phone when she's asleep. I have done alot for this gal, just disappointed while gals wouldn't be faithful in their relationships.

This is someone I wanted to wife next year, and I love her so much despite her flaws .

I swallow alot of her flaws, like whenever we have issues she will abuse me from head to toe, on occasions like that I will ask her out of my life and my house but she'll be so bent in staying that nothing can separate us after how many years according to her "over her dead body" she wants to eat her cake and have it back.

I'm really stalk, after abusing me up and down at night I find it very difficult resist her body, I will still try to have sex with her especially when I see her nudes, I be flesh and blood.

I can't continue like this 2023, Guys please don't cohabit with a gal you haven't married.
Now I have issues of driving her way or I relocate to somewhere far just to have peace of mind. I can't continue like this next year, God forbid.

If she was coming and going ending this toxic relationship would have been effective. This is someone I have paid two sessions school fees for, care for her like she was my wife in my own little way, as we speak I have written her final year project for her chapter one to five, its just left for her to type it and present it.

I don tire for this relationship I really need a way out, I want to leave her cos its no longer healthy for me, though I really love her. She lacks respect for me , she still flirts online, she's very abusive . I have told her if you feel you have seen someone better than me, kindly move on or you feel we have stayed long enough and you can't wait anymore kindly move on, I won't hold anything against u. But you can't be staying in my house and be seeing someone else, frustrating me all round.

Sometimes when we want to have sex , neighbours must hear us because of fight over sex, but she has her good side, she wasn't like this when we started. I'm really tire, God help me next year, cos I can't continue like this.

Lol

Bro you are a Simp.

That lady is cheating on you.

Travel agent ! Auidio Auditors in canada POF agents are all here .They are just after commsion and will.paint abroad as paradise and the golden key! They are sad that experience and smart Nigerians are now asking question . Why are UK worker on strike ! Why care job, why teir visa .They don't like this question . Get sell everything and come ( this the busines income for them ) they would not tell you about the winter, the gas bills the segregation the slave work the limted white colours work
. Some guys are houses in hostels to service care home clients like they used to house slave in sugar cane estates in 1500 in Brazil.

Hello bro.

I, like you is anti-japa but bro let's cut these guys some slacks.

I don't support business people doing fine to sell their business and properties to japa rather to go on regular vacations. That is the reason there are different category of visas BUT for working class/employees, i think abroad is a better option for them than home.
Also remember, not everybody has the skill or tenacity to run a business. Because you can doesn't mean others can. Let's put that into consideration.

Some people just want to work and earn decent income and lifestyle and i don't think anything is wrong with that.

rien05:
Excuse me Emmanuel. How can you say such a thing. I personally sent you an email. You joined a Channel, not a group. You were one of the first to show interest. Do you just want it to be you and I alone in a restaurant? Let's wait for others. The purpose of the channel was to drop pictures and videos of exotic restaurants. Nothing is even happening there yet. I put up just one picture so the channel won't be bare. The subscribers you see there are from my contact list mostly. You can't create a channel or a group without adding some members from your contact list.

I was waiting to have a good number of people join so I do a proper introduction of the mission and a go-by.

This is so not nice of you. To come here of all places and say this. You could have sent me an email about your scepticism but you chose here to spoil someone's good plan. Thanks bro

Hello rien, sorry for my statement.

I had to say that after i couldn't chat with you on whatsapp or call for further information.
I will take the statement down.

There are more men than women worldwide including Nigeria.

https://statisticstimes.com/demographics/world-sex-ratio.php

Also check the World Bank stats. Men plenty pass.

What o don’t get about this statistic is that the ratio of male to female at birth is very close around 49/51 or so then as we grow, the male baby has a tendency of dying more than the female baby.
Also, males tend to die more than females due to our activities -
Most terrorist who die are men likewise the soldiers killing them.
Most people in jail are men etc
Even if men are more than women, what is the percentage that will be alive at marriageable ages? It will be far lesser than women.
Many local governments in Bornu are really short of men. Everywhere littered with women due to the insurgency.
Many guys in jail that are wasting away and also the immune system of females are higher than men so men tend to die far easily with a disease that will kill lesser in women.

I am interested.

Will pm you.

I'm thinking Cristiano Ronaldo needs more goals.
Scoring in Saudi League will be much easier for him.

I doubt that bro. It takes quality midfielders to be regularly feeding the attacks enough good opportunities to score which I doubt the Arab club can do.

There is a difference between the developed countries and 3rd world countries.

3rd world countries are good to relax and enjoy more because they are cheaper to live with small money compared to the developed world.
Most of my captains who are British, Americans, Russians always go to cheaper countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Nigeria etc for vacations because they get more value with little dollars they take there.

With 500k per month salary for a family of 4 (husband, wife and 2 kids) in Nigeria for example, you can live in a decent 3 bedroom flat and a better life than someone earning equivalent in abroad.
Building a 3 bedroom bungalow cost less than someone abroad with lesser pressure to work.
Your work rate will be lower to sustain such lifestyle than even someone renting a studio abroad.

There is a reason my abroadians are always calculating their currency to nigeria to come and flex when they come home.
Such money is chicken change over there.
Many guys abroad doing dirty jobs and combining 2 jobs are buying lands in high brow areas in nigeria like Lekki but over there, they are more or less a pauper.

Whatever life you think you flex over there or your standard of living, it cost far far less to do that over here.
Finish

How is life so far?

Fireandforget:
Block a bitch today . Feels so good about it
We are course mates in school
Talk well on social media
Asked her out... She wanted to friend zoned me
Asking me hold on . That anything is possible.. that we can still be together in the future
Bleep...
Reduce my attention to zero
... She didn't communicate for months..

Only to surface when she needed help
To fix her school stuff

And she just saw a recently picture I posted on. Facebook from my new job

I told her to go look for help else where

I can't be rembered only when she needed help..

She started telling me lame stories..

Blocked her ass off
.. bitch..

Most Nigerian girls are users., Leach and parasite
..

They always have problems…..

I am hungry and have not eaten since morning.

My house rent is expiring soon and I don’t have money to renew.

I need money for hair etc.

Who doesn’t have problems? We are just more reasonable to solve our issues by ourselves without putting the burden on others because we understand it is not easy anywhere too.

lajid:
Omo I don’t understand again, what’s with girls and billing.

You can’t just have a flawless convo without them tryna Bill you.

Its freaking annoying, I’m going to be doing a lot of blocking and ignoring these days.

That is why I stay clear from anything friendship with women. It doesn’t benefit men.

It is either we are in relationship or you are just a friend at arms length.

Have been just ordinary friends with ladies but at the long run it doesn’t worth it.

She does birthday, she will ask what will you give her? ……. I get them gifts but when it is my own birthday, rather than them giving me a gift too, it will be ….. where are you taking us to? To flex your day. (Again billing) and when I press them to give me gift too, na so so excuses.
In life, if you don’t want people to avoid you, strike a balance.
If a friend takes me out today, I try as much as possible to take him out the next time. I won’t allow him doing it twice in a row without me doing mine.
All these things goes a long way. We may see it as little or doesn’t mean but it does.
Any friendship that is not balanced will drift apart sooner or later.

heartofcity12:
Can you just imagine, that’s too much audacity from her, she even had to block you join smh. You enabled her though, that’s why we men have to avoid entitled women at all cost, they’re easy to know, just ignore them the moment you see signs. Cheers bro, Merry Christmas.

Compliment of the season to you too bro.

You are right, I caused it and mended the issue.

Because you don’t pray for the basic things you need in life.

What do you think most church goers pray for? God please grant me visa, before the end of 2022, I must own a car, a house, God grant me job.
Every spirit of alter from my father’s house, that is making me to experience amubo- disappointment or frustration or promise and fail in my job interviews die by fire.
It is many bro but in abroad, getting a job is normal provided you are healthy, not lazy and want to work, riding a car is normal when you have a job and pick up a mortgage, a car is yours.
Traveling for vacation to nearby cheap countries is normal since you are working.
So why should you go to church regularly or start disturbing God with your regular I receive it, I receive it.
Poverty is the root cause of many in church.
So many people are so poor that they forgot to take their sick to their sick to the hospital rather they will take them to church/prayer mountains etc and the prophets will start lying to them that it is attack from home. Which nonsense attack?
Reason why I hate keeping my problems away from my family. They are too religious for my liken.
My brother had serious malaria some years ago, instead of taking him to hospital, due to poverty, my parent started praying for him, putting annoiting oil on his head and speaking in tongue, when it got worse they ran to call nurse abele - local street nurse wey don collect freedom and get her own small chemist.
If not that I arrived that night and saw the terrible situation where the boy was shivering aggressively and quietly dying, he would have died for no reason due to poverty.
Took him to hospital, when they saw his situation sef, the nurses were just shaking their heads that we almost killed the boy.
Long story short, I spent a fortune reviving the boy and after that my parent started saying it is attack from home that most prophets they called pointed to attack from home.

Abegiiiiiii

I no dey for that one.

We pray for silly things which are normally to be gotten in saner climes …. Basic amenities.

I hate it when people come out for testimonies of getting visa (visa ooooooo), buying a tokunbo or second hand car and the pastor will lay his hand on it and bless it (not brand new ooo)

Abeg I don tire.

Consequences

. ….Friends …… it is the most dreaded word I fear most in inter gender relationship.

You can’t be a friend with a woman and not be at the losing side because she will always ask for help regularly whether you are far off or near and they are even entitled.

There was a lady I had an affair with 2 years ago but after the brief affair, the billing never stops.
Pls I need money have not eating since.
Can you help me with tp to work, I am short of cash. Etc
Okay 2k here, 5k there like that like that.
One incident that really annoyed me was when she pestered me for money and I sent 10k to her. The following week, she started complaining of being broke and hunger again but I reminded her I just sent her 10k last week and the next thing I heard was …….. which money am I even referring to? Money that didn’t even last her that particular day? Is that what I am still talking and referencing to?
I had to mute her.
After begging me and realized she bleeped up, months later she started billing me again but didn’t answered her. At a point she got frustrated and started yarning that I always act smart when it comes to money and will be finding ways not to give her blah blah blah
Before I know what happened, girl don block me for WhatsApp and I Love it that way.
Let it be like that… I know many e after a year when she looks are blocked contact she will see mine there and when she unblocks me and chat me up with any number I don’t know before, I will block her ass too.

I hate ungrateful and entitled women.

pansophist:
Normally it is women that move to men, not the other way around. You guys are still in the phase of honeymoon, especially when you haven't met, so it's more of illusionary love not grounded in reality. Those romantic nonsense movies sell to people.

After you land in Zambia and begin to eat her food, you may not be as fine as your picture, and probably in weeks, the money you brought is finished, and maybe her job is stressing her out, and life begins to happen to the both of you, and god forbid, she or you mistakenly fart, then reality begins.

If you decide to go, just make sure you have the number of the Nigerian embassy in Lusaka, just in case she pours you hot water and you need to go to Lagos for surgery. Please tell me you are joking, because I dont get how a man will go depend on a woman he hasn't met in another country. And expecting her to sponsor your education.

it is not in the nature of women to take care of men. They have never had that burden and will never will, and only a matter of one month max, if you can't take care of yourself at minimum, and her as well, then you will hate the very day you met her. Allow women to see love as a fairy tale, but as a man, you must be realistic and see things for what they are. `

Hope say you sabi fork well sha, and get six packs, those things will prolong the time she gets disgusted and fed up by you. Because if you mess up and she wants to throw you out, then think of how most Zambian men cant fork and have potbelly, she will retain you.

You can't have freedom of movement if you don't have financial freedom.

I GREW A COLD FEET AFTER READING THIS �

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A TEACHER IN THE UK?

Being a teacher in the UK is a horrible experience — it is a taste of hell.
I was a teacher in Zimbabwe for over 10 years.

I loved my work; I remember assemblies where children would greet us in chorus.
I was proud to be a teacher.

Our students would salute and greet us on the streets, showing us respect.
A misbehaving pupil would hide, show remorse on being found out.

The day I left for the UK, I was excited and convinced that I would make an impact as a teacher in the land of the Queen.

According to Mhofu from Luton, teaching in the UK is no walk in the park.
Mhofu: “You know, if it wasn’t for teaching, I probably wouldn’t have travelled as much as I did. It was the teaching that got me around the world. But here in the UK, I got a rude awakening.

I got a teaching job at a school in Luton which was touted to be one of the best schools. I was grateful and overjoyed. On my first day in class the children looked at me as if they were seeing a ghost. One child raised his hand and said to me: ‘Are you an idiot’.
I was shocked; I was a teacher.

I looked at the child and wanted to hit him but I had been warned never to touch a child or I would die in prison. I pretended I had not heard the child then I heard another say: ‘Hey, are you deaf?’ I was so angry and I walked out to make a complaint to the teacher-in -charge. As I stepped out, the classroom broke into uncontrollable laughter. I had never been insulted by a child and let alone a white one. I was so angry l started shaking.

I walked into the teacher-in-charge’s office. He looked at me and said go and control your class first. I walked back in the class and everything that followed made me sick to my gut. I just had to leave the classroom as l did not trust myself not to take my typical ‘teacher action’ against these wayward children. I went home.

I got a call from the school which informed me that I had been fired because I had no confidence and skills of dealing with children.
I then got another job as a teacher. This time, I was called a ‘supply teacher’ who is equivalent to a temporary teacher. The only difference is a supply teacher is a qualified teacher.

I arrived at the school, this time determined to bring some order. As I walked into the classroom, I saw, on the green board, an offensive statement. It was a question: ‘What’s the difference between a monkey and a blackman?’

Just below it was an answer: ‘At least a monkey can climb trees.’ When I asked who wrote that in a very angry voice, the class remained silent.

I turned to the board to rub the offending statement. When I was done and turned to the class, I saw my bag fly out of the window.
I got angry and shouted at the class. The head-teacher and a few other teachers rushed to the class. The pupils all rushed to one corner and on seeing the headmaster, they started screaming.

The headmaster, in front of the children told me I was intimidating the kids and making the learning environment a war zone. I told him they had thrown my bag out of the window and had written racist remarks on the board.

The head-teacher said he could see nothing on the board and the kids shouted that they had thrown it out after I had tried to hit them with it. I was asked to go home and reflect on my teaching skills.

The classroom is controlled by children; you must do what they want and you must not dictate to them. The head takes the word of the child against yours. Now I am working towards extracting myself from a career I was passionate about and I ask myself why?

Those who are thinking of teaching here must brace themselves for a torrid time.” According to Paul Taruvinga: I had my interview with a teaching agency in the UK before I finished University.

I was accepted and so when I arrived in London in 2003 on my UK working holiday visa, I was ready to start my teaching career in Hackney, East London, an area I was soon to discover to be one of London’s most challenging.

I wasn’t quite ready to settle into a full time job so I went straight for the supply (casual, substitute) teaching. This meant I was running all over the East End, going to different schools every day. It was a great way for me to get to know the city.

It was also a fantastic way for me to learn how to be an adaptable teacher – different students, different classes every day.

One day I was called to the headmaster’s office; I was informed that a child had complained that I speak so loud that the child is now having sleepless nights. I was asked to lower my voice or I would be sued if the child went deaf.

I am not a loud speaker; I was shocked. I could not answer. Then one day I was accused of sexual abuse. I was alleged to have touched a girl-child on the shoulder. I was told any form of touching was abuse. I was suspended.

After three months of no pay, I was reinstated. I now hate teaching with a passion.”

John Dickson: “l was reprimanded for calling a child ‘my son’. When I came to school the following day there was a fuming parent who said to me: ‘Hey, my son has a father at this school now!’

I said I didn’t know about that and then she accused me of calling him ‘my son’ the previous day in class. I went numb.

She went to the head and I was seriously admonished.” The culture here is so strange. There is nothing like stopping students from throwing chairs at each other. The schools here are a complete opposite of the schools back home. Teaching is a nightmare here.
It is the most stressful job in the UK.

Copied!

Waoooooooooooo

But the truth still remain that many teachers will prefer to go teach there and endure all while making good money than staying back home.

Bro, poverty is very very high here and many people rather endure other things than poverty.

Please how do I get my tax clearance certificate as an employee of a private company in Nigeria. My monthly tax is deducted from my salary.
Please enlighten me, thanks.

Take your TIN (Tax identification number) to FIRS and they will print it out for you.

Ask your company for your TIN since they are deducting it.

Regex:
Council tax is your way of helping to pay for many local services like emergency services, rubbish collection, libraries, schools, street lights and much more. Council tax is charged on the household. It's based on the value of the property and not on what the household earns.
