⚡Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa:

Since the fall of the regime, Israel has been seeking to dismantle Syria.

Ofcourse, what do you think?

You all were used to achieve their greater plan and aim.
You are/were the pawns in the game.
It was what Osama bin Ladin saw before turning. He felt used by the US/Allies and when not needed again, what spat out like a bitter sour grape in the mouth.

Lol , Emmaodet how have you been? God bless you for pointing out the fact that they are miraculously able to solve their problems when they don't get help from you.

I have nothing against a man helping out his siblings but when you do it repeatedly, one too many times (like my father did), it creates a sickening enablement and dependency in them where they become lazy, entitled and unwilling to seek solutions by themselves and stand on their own feet.

I am fine Klass and you?
Ofcourse, they will somehow find a way to solve their problems in your absence or when dead.
I have so so so many examples but will pick one.. my uncle (my mummy's immediate younger brother) always disturb me for money.
His children are starving at Unilag..he needs help and money, school fees for 4 kids is 2m, feeding etc i should help.
I do occasionally but noticed it has become a trend and norm.
An example...i gave him 100k in december for his wife's father's burial all for him to come again in january for the kids school fees.
Then feb, march until i declined totally. He has been keeping malice with me since then but somehow, somehow the kids are stll in school.
If you see the way this man was acting when asking me money, you will think by now those kids would be out of school.
They African family set-up is financially, emotionally and psychologically draining.
You can't even enjoy you handwork a little bit without family breathing down on you to be solving unending problems.
How dare you buy a new car, go on vacation when there are endless list of family members you can use that money to train...how dare you.
It is not a culture designed for good life, vacations/tourism etc is is designed for endlessly picking up baggages to solve in the family.
Ohhh...thank God for Blessing you...God did it so that you can uplift others in the family...Others who just want to sit by and live the kind of life you are living without them involving in the kind of stress you are putting to live the life.

How would you know your cousins when you never visited them in Nigeria and not even interested in knowing them? The problem here is your father who keeps prioritising his family back home in Nigeria over you guys, not your cousins.

As for some of us, no, we don't have any family members in diaspora and my cousins have never disturbed my parents for any financial assistance before, we die here in Africa...

@ we die here in Africa

Klass99:
I have experienced something similar not in the diaspora but right here in Naija with my own father and his relatives. However, in our case (my siblings and I) our father did right, did good and did well by us. He 100% supported us but I've always thought he could have done more and better, if his money wasn't being split in so many ways and different directions towards his siblings and their children.

I know he had a plan to send all of us overseas for further education after secondary school in Naija and had gotten international passports for the first three siblings who had rounded up college or were about to but the plans were shelved for reasons I don't know. I've always suspected it had to do with his relatives and their never ending demands on his finances. Which is why I said he could have done more and better if....

He is the first born child with 8 siblings who gave birth to kids they could not adequately cater for, so picture that. Please by all means put your wife, hubby and kids first, in old age it is your wife and kids who will truly care for you and be there. All the relatives my dad helped rarely visit now that his health and wealth have declined, his house was always buzzing with human beings like bees to a hive but that's no longer the case. I bet you if his wealth was still intact they will show in spite of his health issues.

These men never learn and they don't listen! When you talk they accuse you of not liking their relatives, meanwhile you can often see what they are unable or unwilling to see, which is the parasitic and extremely selfish nature of their people.

Oh and you have my blessing to continue ignoring those cousins who reached out to you because your gut feeling about them is not wrong. They'll build rapport only to start billing you, I have a relative like that whom I haven't seen or heard from in years. The day he called me and identified himself I promptly ended the call and blocked him because I know what's coming next......my sister and female cousins on my mom's side had already told me what he is like. And guess what? He's a relative on my dad's side

I think this message is for me.
The unending billing, extremely selfish relatives/siblings and somehow, somehow.... If someone goes broke today, they will miraculously be able to solve their own problems.
Problems they always act as if they can't solve and will kill them when you have/had if you don't give them.

U can trade FGN Bonds on the NSE.

Alright, thanks.

emmanuelewumi:
You send mandate to your Stockbroker to trade for you

Alright, no problem

emmanuelewumi:
Over N310 billion or about $200 million.

He can't get into any stock on the floor except through cross deal.

Cross deal will require a big investor exiting his position for another big investor to buy.

Outside of this he is okay getting about 18% or about N54 billion from Federal Government bond

Hello bro,

Please do you know any paltform or exchange for trading secondary bonds by retail investors?

That girl already cast a spell on you. It's not jazz, it's nature. She has gotten into your mind and you can't stop thinking about her. It's not love brother, you are in web perfectly designed by a smart spider. Stop looking directly into her eyes even in pictures unless you're having an important discussion outside of love matter, that's a good way to start. What we men don't understand is that God put special spell in the eyes of females that when you look directly into their eyes in admiration, she is casting a spell on you without even her knowing it. My father taught me this.

Interesting....Good observation

FitCorper:
Don’t stress yourself trying to get over her, just find another new girl pin for bed u will forget about her. But 5 years? Omo u try o, I go don study geology finish before u finally win her. Where I go vex na if I hear say u no bend her.

Good morning, Nairalanders.

So, I am extremely unhappy, sad, pained, etc. If you check my previous posts, there is this one girl that has been breaking my heart consistently for years with consistent rejections. We had been friends. When I asked her out, she declined, saying she couldn't date me. A year later, she called me, saying she missed me... Then, we got talking again. I asked her for a relationship again, and she declined again. I had a fight with her, and we didn't even talk for over a year, until I just apologized to her for my behaviors. That was 2023. Early this year, she called me, saying that though I had asked her out several times and she had declined, she loved me and would like to be in a relationship with me. I thought about it and gave it a chance. Unfortunately, I got too attached again.
She started a crisis talk. I observed she was testing me for a particular week.

What caused our breakup was the fact that she asked for data, which I didn't have enough money for. She then started saying it's not like she asks for much from me, that ordinary data I couldn't buy. I told her I really didn't have it. She dragged it to the point where she said, "We are still early, and we can break up if I don't care about her." I told her we should end it. I said this because she's been selfish. I actually didn't have the money for the data. She even started saying I should take from my savings if I truly love her. She pushed it to the extent that I had to tell her she does things I can't cope with, and also I am not ready for a relationship.

Now, we've broken up. I've been thinking I've made a mistake. I've begged her, but she's just resisting my plea. I love this girl so much. For more than 5 years now, we've been doing this on and off, and she's been consistently on my mind. How can I completely get over her?
