And mynd44 was hailing on the other thread just now o

Person dey try stand on top mandate, una go use am stone ground

EKONGKING:
Buhari is the worst president in the world.

He and his group of misfits almost ran Nigeria aground.

Almost? That's being conservative. We are yet to see the collosal effect of his maladministration. The pangs of subsidy removal is just a tip of the iceberg.

Essenza01:
I really don't know anymore, i just did my budget for the month and i am scared, i have cut from everywhere possible and i fear for my self.. i dont have a GF, Wife, Children.. my salary is N400,000 and i have added side businesses and one or two's to even survive.. but with this fuel increase, what else is left... zero savings..

- Rent - N108,333/mth (1,300,000/12)
- Fuel for car - N180,000 (36k for 5-6days)
- Auto maintenance - N30,000/mth (service/repair)
- Fuel for generator - N50,000/mth (20ltr/wk)
- Feeding - N62,000 - (N2,000/day)
- Health miscellenous - N5,000/mth
- Dstv - N4,500/mth
- Data - N7,000/mth
- Recharge card - N3,000/mth
- Dry cleaner - N4,000/mth (Starch/iron)
- Hygiene maintenance - N10,000 (body spray/perfume, roll on, soap, cream) etc..
-  Gift to people - N10,000/mth
-  Family House contribution - N20,000/mth
- Eko electric - N10,000/mth
- repairs and maintenance - N12,000/mth
- Clothing, footwear etc - N10,000/mth
- Outings, restaurant, sit outs and provisions - N30,000/mth

Total = N556,500...

My rent is average rent for where i stay, its a two bed flat, i use the other room for home office..

Feeding is N2,000/day.. its not anything out of the ordinary.. tried cooking and spent more with time wasting.

Fuel for car is at the new rate of N500/ltr, my car is a 70ltr car tank..

Auto maintenance is basic brake pads, shocks, service 2mths, tire guage, police pr, tire purchase if any, minor touch ups etc... nothing major.

Fuel for generator is 20ltr/day (2hrs or less daily)

I need help.... how are you people doing it, what am i doing wrong? The rat race is killing me..

If you are spending 36k for car fueling a week with the new pump price, it means you are doing about 70 liters per week. If you were driving a 2008 Camry V6, you should be doing about 10 liters per 100km. At 70 liters a week you are presently spending, it means you are covering about 700km in just one week! That's the driving distance from Lagos to Abuja. Bros, where in heaven's name are you driving to?

Bishop4real:
Your "wonderful" Obi said he will remove subsidy immediately he takes over. Unfortunately, he didn't. Would you have made this comment if he had won & done as promised? Meanwhile, note that Jagaban isn't even the one that removed subsidy; PMB did. Check the 2023 budget for clarity

So we should blame your darling daddy, PMB?

Choirister:
If only the money gotten from subsidy removal will be used judiciously and not stolen, people will endure

Buhari plunged the nation into humongous debt. The money accrued from subsidy removal would at best be used to service those, that is if it is not stolen first. No benefit for Nigerians.

Octopusssy:
Manna quit the bloody sycophancy. It is nauseating, disgusting and irritating. We have had eight years of hardship no thanks to your darling Bubu but your hopeless allegiance to the oppressor has blinded you and your ilk to the fact. Now your new President made a very rash statement that has turned the country upsidedown and you are back again capping dust. Don't quote me again so I don't transfer aggression to you and your ancestors

You get time o . I've taken a mental note not to read anything from them ever. Don't know why se.un hasn't implemented a feature to block nuisances like those.

It wasn't easy going through this hell of an administration

altteemy:
To be honest, I can't say who approached whom but one thing is that the US had long been seeking a bear hug with Russia.

NATO was created with just a single objective. To combat the USSR which is now reduced to Russia. Why then still going ahead to circumvent Russia if not a war or intimidation affront?

I saw this video earlier today.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVUwht4IBn0

This is a former US Senator admitting they were intentionally going after Russia militarily.

He even admitted that Russia was the peaceful one and the US the aggressor.

I wouldn't take the person in that video seriously. He clearly lied in his intro when he said CIA overthrew Yanukovych, former Ukrainian president in 2014, citing that as the cause of the crisis. 2014 revolution in Ukraine had nothing to do with NATO or the US. Yanokovych was impeached by more than 70% of members of his own parliament following violent demonstrations in the city after he went back on an economic alliance Ukraine was to enter with the EU. In return, Russia invaded and annexed Crimea.

Now tell, how is Russia the peaceful one here and US the aggressor when the US wasn't even in the picture at the time? It was only after Russia annexed Crimea Ukraine started making frantic efforts to become a member of NATO.

altteemy:
Wow, I didn't even hear of that one. My opinion is that the US is intent on escalating this war which shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Considering Georgia and Ukraine, Russia never invaded those countries till NATO started expanding there. Must they key Russia in? And from all sides?

NATO didn't expand. Sovereign nations enlisted to join due to the untrustworthiness and bully-like attitude of their neighbour, and rightly so. Ukraine was too slow, now they bear the brunt.

lhordspy:
Lol. And you believe this? Maybe you also believe horses fly.

Without NATO, US is incapacitated. Have you seen US go to or intervened in any war of lately without NATO? Even small Libya, US had to involve NATO and some EU members. US had to crawl on their knees, with enough propaganda and manipulations just to get UK involved in Iraq war. US without alliances will be like Sudan. They are like 'm*nkeys' (militarily and economically) they are only powerful and smart in the midst of plenty trees.

Trump only threatened to pull out if the other NATO countries ain't contributing to the alliance like US. The outburst came after their woeful performance in Afghanistan started becoming more obvious. Man was just trying to find something to heap the blame on, something as an excuse.

You drunk?

HardMirror:
An intelligent man who was unfortunate to work with a dullard and pretender called buhari.

Truth is, it did not matter who won this last election. They are all better than that dogoyaro called buhari

What stopped him from resigning if his values were not being represented?

internationalman:
I just imagine something.

Imagine after you recently married your wife and both of you were just chilling in the bed when you accidentally glanced through her phone on her hand while she was surfing Nairaland and you saw Soifra as the username at the top of the webpage.

As much as she's notoriously hated here as a feminist and a man hater, what would you do..

I think people like her are a completely different representation of something or someone different in real life than they are on social media..

She might be the coolest chick any guy would want to end up with in real life

No, she isn't.

SenecaTheYonger:
But what were you doing at home all these while when your wife was taking care of the baby and house chores? Did you just sit there all day? Take 80% of her chores away and tell her to rest and watch her dump her pussy in your face.

You typed so much but it seems you only see your wife as a sex object, and that's how she feels. you throw money for her and throw prick, similar to a prostitute. Do you take care of the baby (and I don't mean money, but actually care for him by feeding it, changing daiper, carry it when crying, etc)? Do you joke with her through the day? Man, some of you are so boring, it's no wonder your wife gets depressed.

Have you even cooked for your wife before? Man, I tell you, you are the one that's the problem.

Don't be romantic oh, stay redpilled.

In addition to working his ass out to foot the home bills, he should take charge of 80% of the house chores as well as bathe and feed the baby? Tell me you are a clown without actually saying it .

Preator:
If you believe that his interview caused the UK government to ban Nigerians from coming to the UK with their family using the study route, it is well with you.

They didn't just ban Nigerians but other countries from using the study route to bring their family in. secondly, there has been statistics on the internet on the net increase in migration with family of foreign students being identified as key cause. Its just that Nigerians have the highest family members to student ratio.

130k+ dependents. Nigerians alone brought 60k+

ajepako:
However you look at this guy and the situation , he is cast

The UK already made a decision to ban nigerians from migrating to the UK using study routes even before his interview

Yet this guy granted a video chat that cast the format Nigerians are using

Trust Nigerians , he is already being insulted on all platforms for casting the format and jeopardizing the chances of genuine immigrants to UK ,forgetting the fact that Indians and Pakistanis are even more culpable without making noise..

Already, 'Jeanslover ' and Lindaikeji blogs don cast am and the vawulence supporters are already out for blood

Even his apology video is fueling more hate comments online

Either way, this guy and his Youtube are toast for now

An avenue for him to seek asylum. He is being helped with the hate and unnecessary attention. The UK was going to pull the plug either ways.

Government house looking like students hostel

franktolk:
You won't see Mike Adenuga in such gatherings. I guessed he only goes to where's invited. Very reserved man he is.

Every single person there was invited

Samantha124:
When I eat chicken, I want it to taste like chicken and when I eat tripe, I want it to taste like tripe.

Personally, I've never seen any one cooking different kinds of meat in the same pot here. Most times when we have meat in our food we usually go with a single variety at a time

Kingsley123456:
It was last week Thursday, before my journey to Ekiti for my sister's budgeted wedding, ..couldn't even remember what took my mind to Dammy my Ex girlfriend, the last time we talked was almost one and a half yr ago...after trying 2 to 3 numbers offhand, I got the right contact to her and we talked mostly about life and location,...to my surprised last night when I returned home , we chatted and she asked me if I could afford to impregnate her even without being responsible for the pregnancy and the child, she said "I don't need husband or sugar daddy but I need a baby"
Apart from the fact that she's older than me , I have a 12yr old daughter already, and I have my girlfriend currently (not the mother of my child) so it's obvious I won't marry her, But should I help her? but I'm scared she wouldn't stop on a child , she will need more sooner or later..
Advice me my people, what do I do ?? I know what she's feeling, she's 38yrs old now.

And you are considering it? Is that how lowly you esteem your self worth?

Michelle55:
She was never in love with him from the onset, make she shut up joor😏

*outset

popp:
Greetings to you all.


Please if you have any good and very sound Automobile, with functional AC, Very good engine, tire, interior, exterior, superb Body, kindly notify me.

Sending pictures here would be highly welcomed.

Payment will be made ASAP, I wouldn't want agents or dealers that would inflate their prices because my money is limited to one mill.

Thank you

You would have to search for it yourself. One recommendation is Facebook marketplace. You could find Camry 1999/2000 at that price.

YoungLionken:
Something is definitely wrong with the US..

A claiming saviour who can't save itself!!

I used to prefer the dirty US over Russia, until I started learning and unlearning so many things (if you believed everything you watch on CNN and BBC, without sourcing other information media, your education is a waste)..

Damn the US!!!

So your problem is with the US, and not necessarily Ukraine to justify the wanton destruction Russia has meted on her in the past year?

Uselessboy78:
Good afternoon nairalanders
I always felt i wasn't addicted to betting but mehn...

Have an accountability partner

nairalanda1:
With which money?

The low bills charged (as at 2019, the gencos were producing power at N53 per kwh and discos were selling it at N20-30 per kwh) is why they cannot provide more power.

We have good GSM and internet because the government lets them charge for their services at a price they want to charge. Plus, you cannot bypass the payment mechanism.

With electric power

1.Government for decades has been setting the price below the production cost...even AFTER privatization
2.One can bypass the meters and use electricity for free.

The Discos have been asked over and again to supply people with prepaid meters so they pay for what they use, how many have complied?

beekind:
Standing my ground will mean my dad, mom and other members of my own family will not attend the wedding cos my dad said he will not attend the wedding if she does not do a fertility test.
No I haven't met her physically yet, we have only been dating online for 10 months now and haven't had a chance to visit Naija but I am visiting naija and will spend 4 months in naija when I visit later this month.

You are not normal

lildush:
Maybe. Not 5million. But I Said 4 to 5million. To finish everything.. roofing

Still too much. What you have there is likely step tiles aluminum or metcopo. Notice there is no parapet? It's a budget design.

dammyllare:
Very funny. Should I challenge you?
A building with good oversite concrete... Foundation. How about I challenge you that 5m will not go beyond the roofing stage

The context here is for roofing sheets alone. The person I quoted said roofing sheets for the building would amount up to 5 million.

lildush:
Prices of goods have sky rocketed.. I know wat am saying. It depends on the size of the house sha. And the location..

I'm aware of all that. But given that 3D sketch presented by the OP which shows a building on a budget, roofing sheets for that would certainly not amount to 5 million.

Kobojunkie:
I think I already more than adequately addressed this concern of yours in a previous post https://www.nairaland.com/7662499/im-bride-waiting-dressed-up/3#122680051

So long as you are alive on this planet, not only will you partner regularly with unbelievers — through business, trade, friendship, etc. Consequently, it is illogical to pretend you do not understand that it makes sense to have a good sense of the kind of partnership you form with them when you engage them in these various relationships which your very life depends on here on this earth.

Jesus Christ engaged sinners when He was on earth. He ate and drank with the very same Pharisees whom He vigorously chastised for their falsehoods against God. Jesus Christ never did restrict His followers as far as who they can partner or not partner with in any aspect or dealing. Rather Jesus Christ made it clear to them in that all of their dealings, He alone should remain the one and only head, Master, Teacher, Leader, Authority, Shepherd, Counselor, and guide, over their individual existence. So, to claim that Paul attempted to cause people to, against Jesus Christ, completely disconnect themselves from the sinners and unbelievers is to suggest Paul stood against Jesus Christ in some way.

You understand very little about the bible and it's telling in how you misrepresented that passage. You should refrain from making further exegesis.

Staphylococcus:
Building materials have grade. That house can be built for over 30 million. It’s about what you want to put into a house.

I know that. But the roofing sheets for that house the OP posted is not 5 million
