As far as I know and can remember, Lagos have less busy areas. You can also try neighboring towns to Lagos.


You can relocate to Ifo in Ogun state which is near Lagos but very low paced and almost like a village.


You can relocate to Agbara in Ogun state which is also a quiet and low paced town close to Lagos. Agbara is also like a village with some city facilities.


You can try those Akute and environs near Redeem camp area along Lagos-Ibadan expressway, they are quiet and low paced like village, while being close to Lagos.



You can try Epe side, it's a village near Lagos.


You can also try Badagry, it's another low paced area in Lagos that is almost like your village but close to Lagos.


Whatever decision you decide to take, make sure you are close to Lagos that helped you build the hustles you said are paying you currently. Don't ever make the mistake of relocating too far from Lagos.


Because of the huge human population in Lagos, it gives more opportunities for people ready to offer legitimate services or those wanting to startup a business to sell or render a service. Whether the economy is dead or alive, so long as there is human population, they must need things to survive and continue living. This is what makes Lagos a city of opportunity for serious hustlers. Even if you decide to be selling sand in Lagos, you will definitely find people ready to buy the sand. If you decide to be selling intimacy gadgets or one funny thing, there are people in Lagos looking for that funny thing to buy lol


So don't throw away the opportunity you have in quest of self fulfillment at your young age. Think future, think beyond now. Anything can happen to those your online hustle that you think is paying well now and you are back to square one, how would you rise up if you are in your village with limited opportunities due to low population?


In summary, don't relocate back to your village, resist that dangerous call and urge.

Resist which call? When village people dey call am?

Karleb:
Men still love more than women though.

They provide, not only for the woman but also for her family. But these women would swear they won't give their husband a dime and still cheat or give him a bastard.

Men provide not because they want but because that is a necessity.
A relationship where the man doesn't provide will virtually stop existing in a short time because the woman will ask what is she benefiting from this marriage or relationship? No money, no food, nothing just a useless dick?
So you see, we won't provide under normal condition if the relationship will still go on without it.

Karleb:
A lot of women marry who they don't love so it will be easy for them to cheat.

Lol and you think a lot of men love women they married?
Why do you think most men correct their mistakes of marrying wrong when they become rich? Examples are scattered around the world. Obj and co.
So many politicians with secret women either abroad or Nigeria.

LordAdam16:
If a country was threatening Russia or China with all-out war or strike on its nuclear sites, they'd immediately start "largest in history" drills, mobilization, and saber-rattling.

China just launched the largest drill off Taiwan with more than 90 ships and dozens of aircraft in response to the Taiwanese President visiting Guam. They simulated attack on foreign ships and rehearsed blockade routes.

Satanyahu gives a speech directly to the Iranian public threatening regime change.
Trump refuses to rule out US-Israeli strikes on Iran
Israeli media broadcast plans to strike Iran, start all-out war, and conduct regime change.
NATO spy planes have been flying off the coast of Iran this week in the same patterns they fly preceding strikes on Crimea.

Yet these oafs are treating these provocations with levity.
No mobilizations. No drills. No military exercises. No weapons test.
Russia has been conducting drills--both nuclear and conventional--regularly despite being at war.
You have to familiarize your troops with maneuvers they'd undertake in a war with Israel/US.
You have to do it often, such that it becomes second-nature.
Not scrambling when Israeli/USAF jets are in the air.

-Lord

They are called Mullahs for a reason.
Even Niger did better when Nigeria threatened to invade them.
We saw how their president came out to mobilize the youths of the country that even if the odds are against them, they have the population willing to take up arms.
I think the mullahs time is up

BlackyOne:
The Governor's father is a very bad example!
108 children, with only 25 who had to struggle so hard with their mother to put themselves through school.

Thank God his son became the governor, and he's now the king, and I hope with his increased salary and wealth he can support some of his other children through school and trade, which is highly unlikely, as a matter of fact he's most likely to take other wives than supporting the wives and kids he has now.

The father is a very selfish human being, 30 wives for companionship because he was ostracize by the community... This is absurd!

EmperorCaesar:


I like this

You cant always take double stance in two countries while persecuting one of them

Listened to one of her interviews and I'm forced to think she's talking more from an negative emotional position. '
Ranting like her father was exiled away from Nigeria when she was 2

One of the most unpleasant consequences of the change of power in Syria may be the transfer into the hands of militants of the S-300PM-2 air defense system, the Buk-M2E air defense system, the Yakhont coastal missile systems, and front-line
Su-24M2 bombers and MiG-29 fighters

Of what use are all these weapons that isreal has been bombing Syria for only God knows without retaliation.
Weapons are not artifacts.
Isreal has been bombing and still bombing Syria for only God knows since when - airport, weapon storage areas etc. Just name it. Yet Syria never had the nerves to strike back.
So it is useless to have weapons you can't use to defend yourself.

Vic2023:
Chief of Staff of the Israeli Occupation , Herzi Halevi, announced that starting Sunday night, the IOF will begin fighting in Syria.

“Israeli occupation forces are fighting on four fronts: Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and starting tonight, Syria,” Halevi stated.

How they have the funds to be fighting on 4 fronts and the economy not collapse is still funny.
I can't imagine Nigeria fighting Benin rep, cameroum, niger and Chad at the same time.
The country will collapse economically and even be short of fighters

Vic2023:
Arab League: We condemn Israel's attempts to occupy additional lands in the Golan or consider the disengagement agreement expired, taking advantage of developments in Syria.

You all are very stupid.
Lazy, stupid set of people.
Only good at giving statements.

WrriterNg:
⚡The IDF have crossed the borders with Syria in the Golan Heights and are conducting an operation to expand and strengthen their control.

This is the aim all along. To expand

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Prigozhin's memories of Palmyra:

"On March 2, 2017, at dawn, I arrived near Palmyra and was there together with a high-ranking official from the Syrian administration, who came to thank my fighters for agreeing to recapture Palmyra from the enemy for the second time.

The Syrian troops refused to support us during this assault. In principle, the Syrian army rarely fought, usually they followed in our footsteps in droves when the deed was already done. This is what happened on Palmyra.

The first to enter Palmyra was Ratibor, the commander of the first assault squad. I remember his words well, he turned to the official and said: "If you lose Palmyra again, we will definitely not recapture it for the third time."

Today, Palmyra fell for the third time...


Seems like LordAdam is right... These guys hardly fight

Arabs are lazy fighters. From Saudi to Qatar to UAE to Syria, Iraq, Lebanon etc reason isreal with an average military is banging them silly.
And the suck in sport also. Atleast, blacks are in good in that

iamonpointa:
What did you study, sir?

I don't have a degree as I never went to the university.
I've thought about enrolling in an online course, but I don't even know where to start or which course to study.
I wouldn't say that I care much for a degree, just the knowledge would be enough for me.

But I can't really pinpoint anything that I'm passionate about.

I'm into mini-importation business. Things aren't as good as they used to be, due to the economy but I'm doing alright.

Even when things were going really well (financially), I've always felt like I'm meant for more in life, even though I don't know which step to take.

All I can think of is how to make more money. Even when I know that it wouldn't make me feel fulfilled as a person.
My biggest fear is being broke as I don't really have anyone to turn to for financial assistance.

One thing I can say that I'd like to improve is my diction and communication skills.
Sometimes, I refrain from giving opinions because I couldn't articulate them or wouldn't come out the way I'd like.

What advice would you have for me?

Thanks for your time. God bless you.

Have told you what to do. Do those things I previously wrote about and within 6 months, you will detect the ones you like among.
Making money is never enough rather how to you money for satisfaction and create happiness else, it will useless.
About finance, we all have the fear of not being broke or poor.
In this case, my best option is to open a mutual funds or passive income.
Something generating money for you by the side without your involvement. It really reduces our fear if we know we have something by the side to fall back to in worst case scenario.
Businesses have cycles, there are boom times when you make a lot and the doom times when it crumbles or slows down or kicked out by a stronger competitor or being swallowed up by stronger ones.
Knowing you have both naira and dollar mutual funds giving you atleast 500k per month to atleast feed and float pending when you sort yourself and start rising again gives a huge psychological balance

iamonpointa:
I'm on this table and I'm still 29. I've been making good money for over 5 years now.
I've never had a girlfriend and it never bothered me until recently.
I'm doing very well but I've been, and I'm still, looking for more money. I don't even spend upto 30% of my income, though about half of that, or less, is what I actually spend on myself.

I feel lost and lonely cos I also don't keep friends

I will advise you better change bro else, you will look back at your life and feel sad.
Enrol in a nice gym, go to a pool atleast a week and pay swimming instructor for training. Join social clubs like rotary club or 36 lioness for a start while you scale up later to bigger and better ones. Taekwondo class, long tennis club and you start meeting more people and better ones. Your social life will improve and you feel better and happier and more opportunities will open from there.
Go to Instagram and join active tour and event groups for weekend outings like beach, sip and paints etc and a different world opening to you

crownprince2017:
I will like to ask the person that cited festival period as the reason for appreciation of naira, has festival period not being happening in the last 5 years, why is this different?
You may not like the personality at aso Villa but Good things can come from a bad person.

They did something and we are witnessing the outcome.

If it's turn ugly you will be quick to reference the new development that brings about that bad change but now that the results is positive, it's festival that caused it.

May God help us all, but there is no objectivity in that submission.

In another news our dogoro is on track to deliver goodies soon..

I wrote that statement and it's from my 2 previous experiences.
Last year, naira started appreciating around early November derailing my plans from the initial exchange rate i used for budgeting my projects but this year, i purposely changed the dollars earlier that will last me till January ending to avoid same scenario.

AuthorMan:
Accepting every demand from the woman you married because you love her portrays you as weak and foolish.
Deny her some of the requests even if she wont speak to you for weeks. It makes them know you are the man.

Gbam!!!

musicwriter:
Don't sacrifice your life for your junior ones (those that are girls are the only ones that need help. Those that are boys, you're actually not doing them a favor by not allowing them to start their life on time). But whether boys or girls, they'll still survive without you.

NB: Funny enough, when someone gave me this advice several years ago I thought he was the Devil.

Hmmmm.
I think our path crossed again about this issue.
I totally agree with you.
I am in this dilemma right now.
I have been the sacrificial goat of the family to solve all family's problem.
Do you know what I got back? What has he done and also more problems and entitled family members to the extent that after sending my brother to UAE to work, he requested we send his new girlfriend along too. Can you imagine that? He told the girl not to worry, that his brother and mother will send her to meet him in UAE. A 30 years old man talking like a baby but now, life don touch am well well, he now knows that meat wey you drag, drag wey no cut na him Dem dey call nama.
Boys generally are a big liability to families if they are not doing anything meaningful. Atleast, girls would be married off and take the burdens of you and Yes, if you die today and not there anymore, they will sit up and solve their problems.

Streetinvestor2:
I can bet on that going forward. It will be a graduall thing.Thr is no reason for it to have gone this far.I only pray to get more cash and position in some selected stock.What has happened to naira is like covid 19.It is what happens occasionally. Other devaluation has always been gradual thing. I expect things to begin adjusting to the reality and after that things will pick back...my opinion as street man.Alhaji refinery must have effect on our economy very soon

I doubt naira won't keep sliding against the dollars because of our huge dollar/euro bonds/loans.
They want to borrow more for 2024 budget deficits and 2025 budget is also planned for more dollars bond/loans raising.
I still don't know why countries are not managed like personal finance.
Naturally, you can't spend more than your salary else you will end up in jail or street and this is how country is meant to be run.
You have to run your budget according to what you have earned and forecast to end in a year. Not just borrowing to infinity.
If am earning 500k per month, the logical thing is to spend within my limit and if I want to collect a cooperative or loan from bank, they will run my present earning and give a fraction of what I will earn maybe in 5 years time.
10m loan payable in 5 years deducting 200k from my salary monthly. Not just reckless borrowing and borrowing from different parties - imo, world bank, afrim bank etc

megawealth01:
Naira has moved from 1740 to 1680 = 1$ as at today...

We are watching closely

It is because this is December.
Many abroadians are gradually coming home with dollars.
Naira always strengthen against dollars historically from November to early January then naira slide continues again.
Dollars is flooding the economy now

luminouz:
I thank my stars for the redpill.

I am normally a die-hard hustler on a norm but the redpill made me an independent dude. There is no how I'd stay with such a woman and not hustle harder and make more money or I'd rather not stay with her at all. The moment a man leaves his goals and dreams because a woman asks him not to leave her or whatever, just know that man is finished and the woman will punish him severely. I can count many men who had opportunities to travel out and because of love and mumu tears, they stayed behind and soon enough either the girls dumped them or traveled out without telling their loving boyfriends 🤣🤣🤣.

Weird right? Here is how a woman thinks:

If he can leave his success and progress to stay with me, then he is weak and easily controlled. Who but a fool will leave his path to succeed and rather be swayed by my tears, instead of PRIORTIZING HIMSELF. if he can be swayed by me, then other girls can sway him and he is thus not special.

A woman would cry and beg for forgiveness after cheating but if you forgive her, she will cheat again and again...why? Because she knows she shouldn't ever be forgiven for that and will think you foolish for not prioritizing yourself as the male, the alpha and the boss. Same as the guy who stayed with this single mama for love. Women don't reason like that for long. I once said it here that most men will see the hidden side of their wives if they provide nothing for a year and the wives pay all the bills. Women are not made to carry such burdens for long and their so-called love will evaporate like iso-ewa (beans scented fart).
The girl already saw him as a leech the moment he couldn't provide and she had more money. Lol...God forgive me but it is just 150k she dey earn now oh...what if it's one million? She go dey shiit on his head na.

Let me share my story.

In 2021... One nurse dey on my case. She begged me to marry her and give her belle. But I had reservations because I wasn't so buoyant and she had major character issues. This lady can abuse the dead for any little thing and abused her own mother in front of me. She got a job in the UK as a nurse and promised to bring me along...if I am ready to marry her. I bluntly refused and said I'm not marrying her. She went to the UK and came after 3 months to beg me again. I said NOPE. I knew that SHEGE PRO MAX awaited me if I ever let her sponsor me. I will not only suffer her emotional abuse but I will be disrespecting my own ancestors by thinking my destiny is only tied to her help and I couldn't make it without her. She went back angry that I refused. I thank God for where I am today which is 1000 times better than 2021.
It would have been a death sentence to move in with her, marry her, impregnate her..when I had no job. In Naija, she had only Nursing School certification but will keeping saying no man can control her and she can't cook on some days and I will follow her to the UK with that mindset? Or her fiery temper that makes her abuse even her mother?

So redpillers, hustle harder. If you have no option at all....you can consider her help but always hustle and keep hustling till you save enough to move out of her house. Women have very long memories of real and imaginary help they render. They will never forget every kobo spent on you but will ask you 'what have you even done for me' even if you had spent a million dollars.

I rest my case

You are really really strong and discipline bro.
I admire your courage.
Only few men will decline such offer.
If you had taken it, you would have really regretted it.

Kipaji:
What would you do in the place of the handicapped man?

You don't stay where you are not celebrated bro.
That is self-esteem and self-integrity.
No one can rubbish you unless you allow them to.
If am in his shoes, i would have taken a walk rather than keep disgracing myself.
If your friends feel they are doing better than you and start giving you attitude, rubbishing you, will you keep going to such friend house?

RandDigital:
There's overwhelming anger in South Africa that Nigerians can now easily enter the country. This was announced by SA President Cyril Ramaphosa during the visit of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu to South Africa on Tuesday.

South Africans believe Nigerians are responsible for the high levels of crime in SA.

HesInMe:
It is almost surprising, although somewhat understandable, how little people understand the impact of FX policy and devaluation. Oya, adjust your portfolio and its 1000% gains for currency devaluation, i.e., quote it in US dollars. Then compare with someone who kept their money in dollars and earned the average 25% gain of the S&P 500 index.

Result: You are a lot poorer than you know. But continue suffering and smiling.

Is the 25% per annum bro? Just curious

Case 2 -

A close church member who was doing fine during jonathan's era but things tumbled when buhari entered.
Started struggling financially and as if that is not enough, the inevitable of wife wahala in the absence of money followed.
Have experienced like 2 occasions where they were arguing furiously in my sitting room and almost beat each other.
The man always complain about little to no sex in the marriage.
Example, last year, he told me he can count how many times he slept with his wife which was just 4 times in a 365 days calendar year.
Not that he is not active or his dick not raising but his wife is just not interested in the sex.
She married him because he was doing fine then and not because she love him. Even when he was doing fine, she only gives him sex grudgingly and occasional after begging, begging and talking.
last year, they hard little quarrel as usual and instead of woman to beg so as to get weekly feeding money, she called a married man where she sells things at mechanic village to help her out.
Husband got to know later and it escalated......ever since, the marriage has gone south.
Husband took the case to pastor, called his family for meeting, called wife family for meeting, called neighbors, we friends to attend to the issue yet both husband and wife are not shifting their ground. No one ones to agree he or she is at fault.
To cut the story short, the wife has been receiving serious lashing from the outside man, infact she has gone haywire.
For a woman that always complain about not liking sex, now sleeping around and dem dey fork shege commot for her body.
The huband has been crying up and down. Always posting on whatsapp about how a good woman should respect her husband, a good woman should cherish her family and what she has blah blah blah..
I don't blame him though, he is suffering from self esteem due to being a bot handicapped...legs not balanced so he believes no woman will fancy him outside that he is even lucky iya Bola choosed him
Inside life
