So you don't even know the top 5 most populated countries and you cannot use Google... Anyways, there's no point debating you further. 🥱

Ciao. ✌🏾

Ants and mosquitoes that run their mouths endlessly on social media are easily identifiable. . You aren't that smart.. As always, find someone else to run over with your words here....I am glad you understand there is no point in continuing with me. At least you know when to stop, and how to politely quit Google will always save you.

Lies.. majority of the seeds in Nigeria are not GMO..

Ok. No problem. I wish you well here. I'm not the kind who will throw words front and back with someone who is clearly not intelligent enough to handle my level. Good luck bro.

the problem is foreign countries like f:ran:ce are sponsoring herdsmen attack indigenous farmers which ensures that farming is dangerous.. the partnership is about giving farmlands and lands to f:ran:ce so that they can establish mili:ta:ry bases in Nigeria..

the fr:ance that did not empower the over 14 African countries it colonized is the same one that will now empower Nigeria... you're a house slave and a sell out just like your pr:esi:dent...

Keep spreading lies ....the day you will be handled, social media will start shouting why. Obviously, you don't know much.

I don't discuss with your level. Sorry. Take care!

Lol

Abure is really funny. If he had not received assistance to keep his position as LP chairman, would he return if someone else was there? Lol!

Sowing seeds of disunity in the opposition's camp is the primary tool for defeating them. Tinubu has played the game well, crushing the three political parties that oppose him. Obi, Atiku, and Kwankwaso are clearly out of 2027. Too bad.

If Atiku cannot forego the upcoming election in order to play the elder's role in ousting Wike, it will be game over. Of course, Tinubu knows he will never do it because he is so desperate to be president. Lol. Obi has lost his platform; where will he go? Kwankwaso simply needs to be handled well in Kano. Now that Kano is writing Obi to repair their hospital, there is a fight over who the emir is...lol. I am curious how Kwankwaso will maintain his large number of followers in the next election...lol.

Unfortunately, Nigeria is becoming a country with only one political party. Too bad.

lexy2014:
if you say that all tinubu is doing will benefit only his boys, how then is it an excellent move?

which results will soon start showing?

can you attest to any tangible thing that has been done that suggest that "the results will start showing soon"?

how will you improve under tinubu when you say you will "definitely going to have more MC Oluomo that will hijack all the benefits and extort the masses"?

If you don't understand my point, it isn't my fault. I am not you that will condemn everything because you are angry your tribe isn't ruling.

Going to France to make such move is excellent. If you don't understand this, I can't help you. And that after the opportunities are created, his boys will take them all. Have I not explained myself enough? Did I say this move here is excellent? So why are you mixing it all up? You are only being mischievous and you want me to be bitter like you to condemn him for everything.

Grow up!

codemaniacs:
that's the problem... the one fr:ance will bring here will be GMO not natural...

You are so out dated. Not current at all. Anyway, over 98% of the seeds in Nigeria presently are GMOs.

Fr:ance does not eat Eba, edikaikong, Nsala, Afang, Tuwon Shinkafar Hausa da Miyar Soyayyan Rama e.t.c..

Nigerians also grow these foods so this deal will affect indigenous farmers thereby making them more hungry instead of well fed..

Who told you we can't grow these things? The problem is that we aren't upgrading our equipment and amenities to tackle the present climatic challenges we are facing due to oil exploration activities with vehicle and machinery established air population. We need modern irrigation, power to use heavy farm machinery especially, and so many others. The partnership isn't about seed provision. Bill Gate and IITA has already nominated that area..and business men import seeds from everywhere to Nigeria...you don't know these things.

Concerning your eba...it's all about cassava. So, you don't know that world bank has already taking over the business of cassava? Lol. Machineries you need to do it are from Europe. Oga, go make your research. Yes...and yes...na oyinbo dey make your so called eba even they don't eat it.

No one needs to eat your food before they produce it. Go siddon jare!

santaclaws:
I wouldn't say Nigeria is overpopulated since we're not even among the top 5 most populated in the world, the only issue is that we have a comatose industrial sector and there's not enough commercial activities going on.

Please list the top five bros and provide verified figures so that we can compare with Naija. Most of you don't know how to use data. Do as I have asked, and we can continue this discussion...otherwise, do not mention me again.

If we had stable power supply with thriving industries, even foreigners would join the work force despite our population.

How do you achieve stable power if you do not go out and partner with those who have done so? Is this not what he is doing, and we are still criticizing him? I dislike Tinubu, but I know he will work. I am just concerned that he will lock up opportunities for his boys. Go check my posts even during the election. I have stated several times that he is my top choice among the top four candidates...but none of them are my ideal candidate.

Also, government regulations aren't helping matters. A lot of the entrepreneurs trying to provide jobs are being frustrated by poor government policies and multiple taxation, that's why some bosses are frustrated and their staff are not enjoying benefits. If you observe, most of the people complaining here were working for small businesses, whereas they don't know the struggles their own bosses are going through to stay afloat, but I don't condone a toxic working environment.

Bro...I used to be an employer. I closed down the business. That's a story for another day. However, what I am going to say is that almost everyone is bad in Nigeria. From the most unfortunate to the one sitting in Aso Rock...everyone is a crook. Take it or leave it. And why is it so? We don't care because we are too many. The labor force is there. If you don't want, more than 1000 people around are already fighting for it...not to talk of more than 300,000 a bit far away that want to apply too.

Give me what I requested for, and we will continue our discussion. Thanks.

kingkelvin2033:
While I agree with you on the problem of overpopulation in our country. China actually has serious unemployment problems as well.
China is not exactly eldorado. There is press and propaganda. But there's also real fundamentals to determine the actual state of an economy:

China is currently grappling with significant unemployment challenges, particularly among its youth. The official youth unemployment rate, previously reported to exceed 20%, was discontinued in August 2023, raising concerns about transparency. The labor market is under strain due to a combination of slow economic recovery, structural issues, and declining demand in critical sectors like real estate and manufacturing.

Young adults are increasingly disillusioned, as reflected in social trends like "lying flat" (tang ping), where individuals opt out of high-pressure societal expectations. The difficulty in finding jobs is exacerbating social unrest and weakening public trust in the government. Additionally, these employment issues are compounded by broader economic challenges, such as a declining property market and stagnating private investment, which further limit job creation

Please, show us where you get your statistics. If you cannotnprove this figure younposted here, kindly not mention me again. From my end, I will talk about urban China. Check the link:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/270320/unemployment-rate-in-china/#:~:text=In%202023%2C%20the%20rate%20of,the%20third%20quarter%20of%202024.


Also, check the pics.

Lastly, no matter where you get your data from, China is expressing diminished young Chinese and they have too many old people. What does this tell you? It was after they control over population. Go make your research well.

Good luck!

People who don't eat your indigenous foods don't know how to grow it...

so this deal is a scam and means Nigeria is giving land to the french..

fran:ce can not grow the food of over 200 different ethnic nations in Nigeria...

Which ethnic group in Nigeria don't eat corn, soy, potato, rice, and cowpeas?

What do you use to make your indigenous food? You don't use corn, wheat, potato, rice, cowpeas, vegetables, etc? Or they don't eat such in France?

Oh...you think they eat gold in France. No wonder. Lol.

You better hold yourself before your front teeth is knocked out. Lol. I don't understand how you passed elementary school and you still reason like this. Damn it. Overpopulation is a damn bad thing in Naija. Damn it. Obviously, you went to bad schools.

These stories I am reading are so sad. Well, it is entirely our fault. When we say we need to work on overpopulation, the majority of those who are suffering continue to insult us. Lol. Even ladies who are supposed to be happy are more likely to insult us.

No matter how great Nigeria is, with our population growing at such a rapid pace, we cannot avoid unemployment. When there are too many of us, why will not employers treat us as trash? Is it possible that Estonia, Finland, or even the current China will treat their labor force as trash when they know they are needed? However, go to China when they have not yet addressed overpopulation (they used to be worse than India).I laugh ooo.

Good luck to you all. Enjoy your s..hits...in peace.

Nice!

To be honest, Bola Tinubu is making excellent moves, but I am concerned that they will only benefit his boys. This is the exact template in Lagos.

Prior to this agreement, I recall him signing an agreement with a Chinese firm to mine lithium in the north and produce batteries during a world conference in Dubai in his first year as president. In addition, a contract was signed with a Dutch company to produce solar panels in Nigeria. And the results will start showing soon.

Well, we will definitely improve under him, but we are definitely going to have more MC Oluomo that will hijack all the benefits and extort the masses. This is my concern about this man named Bola Tinubu.

Albertone:
OP here

If Nairaland could bookmark posts, I sure would bookmark this for constant revisit. So many insights in one post.

I have a couple of questions.
1. One can easily gain money-earning experience by getting a good job. However, not all jobs afford one the opportunity to learn business management. How do you suggest one learn business management as an employee in a firm where you don’t get to see the business workings of the firm?

2. I entered crypto without much knowledge, I got my hands burnt. The volatility watered down my interests in it.
As for stock trading, If I were to start trading today, what do I need to know about the losses within it? Losing the little I have now will be beyond devastating.


Lastly, you have passed through my situation before and you are now way ahead. I wouldn’t mind getting ongoing MENTORSHIP from you please.
As for the value I should offer in return, I may not have financial resources, but I believe you can find value in me which you might need.

Thank you Sir.

Question 1:
Business management is in-depth. Bro. ....I am just going to tell you the truth. When you get started, you will notice your weaknesses. All you need to do is look up materials online to learn how to strengthen your weaknesses. For example, I used to lack HR skills. I was not sure how to hire the right person. It was not until I completed my MBA that I realised it was a major issue for me. Then I had to find resources to learn how to hire the best talent. Now, I can navigate it very well. And this is the primary reason I closed my agricultural business: I realized that I needed to increase my investments in the agrobusiness before I could retain the best talent in Nigeria. If not, I will keep wasting my resources....bro...I wasted so much money before realising this. Without other sources of income, I would have been crushed while struggling to maintain a meaningful agrobusiness profit. So, if you have a source of income, you can use it to purchase knowledge in any field if you are willing to invest both time and money. However, you will make mistakes along the way, but your income will keep you going. This is why you need a source of income when starting out. If you do not have a source of income, you will be easily crushed.

Number 2: The concept of investment is encapsulated in one skill: trading. Trading is the skill required to be able to invest. This skill entails learning both technical analysis and fundamental skills. The first thing you should learn is technical analysis, which includes how to read charts. If you can read forex charts well, you can also read cryptocurrency, stock, and futures charts. This is a strategy for assets with a significant amount of data, such as two to three decades. This is why we always recommend that 80% of your crypto assets be in a coin with enough data, which are primarily bitcoin, etherum, and Solana. Then, about 10% should go into promising assets with strong community support. Similarly, etherum began with developers. As long as there are developers, Ethereum will not fail. Then, doge appears to be the fourth if it is associated with electric vehicles. Now that Finland has increased its investment in electric vehicles and Tesla is its official partner, the doge coin is poised for greater success. Also, Elon Musk has linked it to the new department Trump directed him to lead. These are reasons to learn more about doge. The remaining 10% can then be used to invest in any other promising coin, fully aware that such an investment could easily be lost.

Investment is a risky endeavor that should be approached with extreme caution. Most people are eager to begin investing while they should be learning. I have writing about trading and how to go about it. I wish I had started earlier myself, but I am grateful to God for opening my eyes.

If not for Covid-19, Africa would remain in the dark. However, YouTube's acceptance as a result of Covid19 is why there are so many free materials available online. This is why I do not joke about buying enough data to study online every day. Check out my other trading-related threads. It is a boring lane, and few people travel down it. I recommend that you stop investing in it and instead focus on improving your analytical trading skills. If you can know how to trade, you are financially free. Even so-called experts are constantly learning...so the journey is long.

malali:
Smartest post i have read in Nairaland in the last decade.
Question ? What decade of life are you ?

Lol! I used to have a Yoruba friend who always use this proverb, and I will humbly use it to answer the bolded part.

"Minors and youth are smart, as are elders, and this is the foundation of 'Ile-Ife.'"

Pilopher:
this is a great idea, I dont know if I can get in touch wiith with you, would really need your advice on some things

If these are not secrets or personal information, share them here so that others can benefit from them.

Eboofa:
Good analysis...! you did not factor the monumental changes that are occurring in the international geo political scene, NOTE !!! Nigeria is the way it is configured today largely because the collective WEST ( Europe and Ameria) determined it to be so! The BRICS nations ( Nigeria is an outlier there) are beating and battering the collective West black and blue ( reference Ukraine and Isreali wars) ..................................if you know the true interpretation of the bible you will know God has finally decided to move against Babylon ( The West)!

Bros...! get ready for momentous changes around the world including Nigeria..........the hands holding down the indigenous peoples of nigeria are about to be broken.......Bookmark this post!

Tinubu........a complete agent of the West will soon be streaming upstream against overwhelming odds!

Conspiracy theories here.

alanto:
This reform get as e be o.

States like Borno, Bayelsa, Ebonyi, Kebbi and the likes how do they get money if federal government refuse to short change Lagos for them.

As scary as it sounds, na now we go know parasite 🪱

Let's see how things unfold.

Any state that struggles to generate funds does not qualify as one. States were formed in order to receive free money from the federal government, which is not sustainable.
Such states should consider merging with states from which they have been cut off. If not, let them continue to suffer. Shikena.

If I had known what I know now, I would have gotten a lot further than I do now. Nonetheless, I am pleased with my success.

What we study does not matter. Just get any degree, and you can navigate your way through. The only advantage we have is that we know what is currently trending, and even if we do not study it in school, we can easily learn it. Why? Your first step should be to find a job and earn a small income in your 20s after leaving school. Become an expert in what is popular and make a living from it.

With your savings, you should do what rich men do to increase their wealth, which includes:

1. Start a business. Look for disruptive technology and innovation to solve the problems that the majority of people face, and you will make money. You may start a business and find yourself in the same league as salary earners, which is something you want to avoid. This is why you must be prepared before starting a business. And you prepare by first gaining experience earning money elsewhere and learning business management.

2. Invest in both paper and digital assets. Learn to trade or find an expert who can do it for you. Forex, futures, stocks, crypto, etc. There are three types of trading strategies: day trading, short term trading, and long term. Most people enter long term when they are unable to read charts well. Therefore, you should look into stocks and crypto. The issue is that S&P 500 and it's like generates around 18% turn over presently annually, while digital assets give like 150% ....but it is a double edged sword. You must understand the difference between gambling and investment. This is one area all rich men go into. Elon is currently working on making the doge currency stronger. Hmm. This should teach you something about digital assets.

3. Real estate: This area is very technical because there is not as much money as there used to be, but if you understand it, you will make a lot of money. The annual rental strategy is a nonsense business. I can not believe Nigerians are still building to collect annual rent. Lol...when monthly rent is no longer satisfactory in most places. The new deal involves short-term leases. It is a lucrative business. Or you get some money, buy a house, and then resell it after remodeling it to maximize your profit.

These are the three areas you should focus on. If you do not do any of the above, you will not be rich. You van be comfortable. As a result, if you have not yet begun, your first task is to become an expert in a trending business area and sell your products or services for a fee....or you use your knowledge to find a job and earn a reasonable salary.

If you can not find a good source of income, you will be stuck for a long time, believing witches and wizards are after you. Then you will have to urgently consider relocation, which is why you should seriously consider JAPA. Of course, starting with a security job, UBER driving, or any other casual job is a good way to get started. Then you can start improving and increasing your wealth from there.

Again, look into a way to make 1 instead of the 0 you are currently making. You can multiply one.

Good luck to everyone.

Its directors are Adamu U. Sanda, Abdulkadir Umar, Umar S. Umar and Bashir Umar.

These northern guys are already oil cabals ready to compete with Dangote. And it is a deliberate move that the northern states will welcome because they know Tinubu will sell all refineries to primarily southerners. And Dangote's refinery is in Lagos. This setup is more of a political and regional venture, which I do not see as profitable.

Another theory is that Tinubu orchestrated this move to facilitate the sale of refineries in the north, only to later halt the process.

Either way, this venture is not smart. I expect newcomers to the energy sector to present sustainable options that will attract foreign investment.

Taiwo Oyedele is a true professional. Mehn. Respect! The guy himself was astounded that any governor other than Lagos would oppose it. This guy made Lagos forfeit a large portion of the VAT allocated to it, and then forced the FG to release 5% as well to other states. Ordinarily, Lagos Governor Sanwo Olu would have objected and taken him to court, dragging out the process, but I was also surprised that he agreed. So, something must have happened behind the scenes. Tinubu must have taken some steps to compensate Lagos. As a result, these tax proposals are almost certainly going to pass. This guy went in to educate northern senators who were illiterate. Lol. This is basically what occurred.

Tinubu will win 2027 regardless of what we think of him, based on what I am seeing. Refineries that Obasanjo claimed would not work because he could not make them work are now operational and will be privatised soon. That is a knockout for Obasanjo to be cautious about using his tongue. That is why Bayo Onanuga blasted him, and the thing entered successfully. Lol.

We all know Tinubu has the ability to make changes, which he is doing; however, it is all for selfish reasons, similar to what we see in Lagos. Tinubu is going to pocket everyone on Nigeria. I remember him almost prostrating for Orji Kalu's mama....lol. Now, that woman will undoubtedly get down on her knees to see Tinubu. Lol. That man called Tinubu.....hmmm. This is the reason he is a different species.

I pray for Nigerians because the process of legitimately enriching a small number of people while the rest continue to work hard has begun. These wealthy men will no longer have to fear being imprisoned because Tinubu will legalise all of their sources. And the majority of his friends will benefit from it. They intend to pocket the entire Nigeria. This is "Emilokan's" time, and his boys will be in power for a long time. Hmmmm!

Good luck to everyone reading.

EBUBS:
Well spoken......Been studying a particular streak on a betting site (virtual) it's actually going well I'm just having issues with patience. If only learn to be more patient. Please do you have any suggestions

Your system must be analytic or mathematical based. If not, you are gambling. Also, get a source of income before you put 1 kobo in it. Having a source of income is the first prerequisite. If you don't have one, do not put one kobo in it no matter how good you think your system is. It's after you implement it live you know if your system is good or not.

I prefer trading to betting. Instead of going the betting route, pick trading - forex, stocks, or future.

Good luck!

Competition is the best. Monopoly destroys.

EnglishUsa:
I have same thought some months ago, until I do my research. you can also do yours and you will come in the same conclusion

Hm...m

EnglishUsa:
if you remove riders or as we call them Uber, you will not see cars on the road of Lagos. 30% of cars you see on the road are uber, indrive, rider, Lagos ride. Many cars you see and think they are private... My dear, they are not

Assuming your post is okay, who owns the remaining 70%?

Please, don't take this personal. I believe you are accustomed to Lagos' overabundance of traffic. Bro, even the 30% you mentioned is sufficient for Lagos roads. I think you should travel abroad to see what I mean. Lagos is overly congested. If you doubt me, ask Dangote. Why do you think he is so confident that he will succeed? Lagos has an overpopulation problem.

The number of vehicles in Lagos is abnormal sir.

Singapore is now regarded as a blue zone for longevity. How did it achieve this? Their government imposed high taxes on processed foods, sugar, and vehicle usage. Coca-Cola in Singapore costs 30% more than in the United States. Using a vehicle there is extremely costly. However, public transportation is excellent, with comfortable air conditioning in the buses, trains, and so on. Every citizen takes approximately 7,500 steps per day, which is the recommended number. Obesity rates have also dropped dramatically there. And environmental sustainability is excellent because there is less carbon in the atmosphere.

So bros....there are still too many vehicles on Lagos. There are so many cars along the inner streets.

I keep saying it....when the population is too high, the kind of people there will amaze you. As far as I am concerned, David said the truth; however, one needs wisdom. David did not apply wisdom in this matter, but he said the truth. But one thing is clear, someone has to tell everyone that Nigeria is in shamble. It is the truth na. But I won't be the one to say it cos I know that people want to grab what they can find. Lol. Selfishness. We all know that the resources available cannot go round, instead of us to sit down and find an everlasting solution, everyone wants to grab and run away. Lol.

So, this person known as Nihmat, or whatever her name is, is 1000 times more senseless than David, as she claims. Lol. If she says David's education isn't showing in him, then, her own is worse. Her senseless brain did not know that David always donate to motherless babies homes during his birthday. Or her brain is turned upside down. I heard everything she said, and I just shook my head. She has donated zero, but criticising David who has donated so much. David might be careless with his words, but he said the truth. Is Nigeria not in shambles?

We need to start working on the Nigerian population ASAP so that unfortunate people can be prevented from finding their ways to Nigeria. At least we should do this for out grand kids cos we can't benefit from it.

Nigeria is in shambles...please japa if you can. Shikena.

Britishpea:
I don’t think you are correct because these days each time I’m traveling the number of cars on the highways are noticeably reduced compare to how’s before now.

It has reduced, but still abnormal. I believe you haven't traveled outside Nigeria to see the right number of vehicles that suppose to be on the road. LAGOS vehicles are crazily too many and. And the sad thing is that the cars are all polluting the air. It has reduced, but still too many.

Why do you think Dangote is not still bothered? Market is in Lagos mehn! Vehicles are still too many on the road.

EnglishUsa:

Are you sure you live in Lagos? Na rubbish you just posted here. You aren't in Lagos bro.

F117nighthawk:
With the number of cars I still see on Lagos roads , traffic/holdup and even still with high cost of petrol sold at N1075 per liter depending on the filling station u buy.i am still not too convinced Nigerian motorists are feeling the impact of these problems highlighted in this write up.sometimes I wonder and ask myself how do Nigerians make this money and survive?the roads are still very busy,new car plate numbers and seen on daily basis,and traffic buildups are still experienced in many usual areas and this make me wonder.Nigerians are very resilient people they will always find ways to beat around this economy and still make good living for themselves

Adewale1603:
dey play. Nigerian's population are way too many for you to actually notice or observe. And you can't just draw your conclusion on that. People are suffering, there is economic decline and hardship

F117nighthawk:
I never said people are not suffering,I only made my comments of the topic,as bad as the inflation and downturn of it on the car importation and sales business is,u hardly notice the impact based on the numbers of cars u still see on our roads,I go out sometimes without my car yet I still feel the rush and the amount of movements of cars u still see even as petrol price and cars has gone up
quote author=Adewale1603 post=133023604] dey play. Nigerian's population are way too many for you to actually notice or observe. And you can't just draw your conclusion on that. People are suffering, there is economic decline and hardship

I have been saying that if I were president, I would not be bothered with corruption. I would just face over population. That's all. And I have my plan to tackle it.

It takes time to fully grasp that overpopulation is our true problem, not corruption. Why? Overpopulation has fueled corruption, so no matter how you combat it, it will not die. So, we just need to stop fighting corruption amd cut off its food.

The bad news is that it will take about 20 years after cutting off the food supply to see any significant positive effects. This is the state we are now. It is why I always laugh at political commentators. Lol.

Japa is a temporary solution if you want to have a good life. If you are in your 20s or older and still want to pray for Nigeria, sorry. japa!

I am glad the OP did his research well. He wrote down the price of feed he could get, and someone claiming to be a chief wants to convince him that the cost of feeding he is using is excessive. Lol. I looked at the chief's quotes and wondered if he was not aware of Nigeria's rapid inflation rate. If the OP, who is new to the business, uses a constant price for a year-long cycle of laying birds, I am not sure how a business chief decided to do the same. That's hilarious. My guess is that the chief wants OP to patronize him so he can teach him how to save money on feeding in return for a fee, or become his supplier. Lol. Naijas are over smart.

OP, broiler production has always been more profitable than layer production, and if broiler producers are complaining, I am guessing layer producers are in trouble. The advantage of broiler production is that you can see whether you have succeeded or failed within two months. However, with layers, the likes of chief will use your head to play "kalokalo" for a whole year before you wake up from your slumber.

Here is my suggestions: Newbies....stay away from anything farming in Nigeria at the moment. Crops, fruits, trees, vegetables.....poultry, livestocks, piggery, etc. Stay away from them all. The economy is not favorable for a newbie to start anything. Leave the scene for experienced farmers who can navigate it. It is a complex situation we are all facing presently in Nigeria.

If you want to learn how to farm, do so for your own health rather than for a profit. If you go into it at this time, na you sabi.

If you let anyone use you to have a wonderful Christmas and New Year for his family, na you sabi.

Good luck to everyone reading.

I believe there is nothing tech cannot address. To me, there is no problem with granting private airstrip. It's progress. We must find another way of guarding against using it for terrorism. It's a call to improve our security measures. Period. All those calling for It's ban are just drawing us backward.

crackaholic:
Hello Guys

I've been very much occupied with several tasks so I haven't been able to write here for a while.

Well I'm back

It's well up to three weeks since I've abstained from Crack. I must say in this Short while, my life is changing greatly though at a steady slow pace. Here are a few things about my behavioral changes since I quit crack cocaine.

- I'm now meeting up with my work responsibilities.
- I'm now neater and more hygienic. I make sure the few clothes I have I keep them all fully neat and tidied at all times. My environment, my room, my kitchen everything always well arranged at neat. These are things I cared less about and left unkept while I was taking crack.
- I am now focused on living a better life. Starting to have savings even though I'm not yet earning much.
- Decreased independence on people.
- I can now spend more time on myself sitting alone in my room or an isolated place. Before I was always moved to keep moving around.
- I have developed interest in returning back to my educational pursuits though I haven't started.
- My mental health is greatly improved. I no longer forget so much and I can now make vital decisions correctly.
- Couldn't stay in a relationship previous and all my friends deserted me. Only family had my back.
- Working hard to pay off my debt and improve myself. No longer focused on working to buy more crack cocaine to smoke.


The urge still comes in from to time but I do my possible best to get it off my mind. I can watch a movie, go out to chat with friends, take sleep meds or eat when I get the urge.

I'll write more on the challenges I faced in my past days of crack addiction later.
I have to attend to my work.


Cc Lalasticlala

The first step is detoxification, which is the most difficult. It will be beneficial if you can learn organic farming and keep gardening close to your home. You tend to your garden and feed the birds in the early mornings and evenings. It will keep you active. It will serve as a boost to start your day before returning to your computer job, followed by another break or the end of work in the evening.

Then, you must be on guard to avoid losing focus following this victory. When you are down, the desire to return will persist. Hey! Stay away from your old friends who are involved. Do not attempt to save anyone ooo. Thinking that you can help someone like you are helped is a lie. Stay away from them. If someone asks you how you do it, simply point them to the source that assisted you and leave quickly. Do not contact the person again, and tell them not to contact you again. Instead, face the treatment squarely. If you try to save anyone, you will be back doing it again. Run away from them all. Run away from the environment. Please, this is important. Even after 2 years or more than you are off it, run away. That is a weak point for you, and you should not attempt to face it. Just Run away. Run Run run. This way, you will be so solidly built that one day, when you least expect it, you will face it and realize you have overcome it. Till then, keep running away from a thing relating to it. This is the key to leaving it aside from detoxification. Detoxification only restores your mind; you are still not completely free. So, you must keep Running away from it and it's appearance. If you notice your mind wandering, run to a location where you know someone can keep a close eye on you and hold you back. Run Run run is the next thing you must keep doing. You have to keep running. If for 10 years you need to run, keep running away. Keep running away. This is the only way out. One day, you will just see that you are free. Till then, keep running. Even it's 20 years....keep running away.

God will perfect your healing in Jesus' name. Amen!

I used to think David is trying to get UK indefinite stay. Hmmm! It means he isn't in the UK. This guy has managed to keep his location from everyone. Quite interesting. Yeah. It's smart that he didn't even bother to defend himself. Doing so would have exposed him big time. All those shouting on the front page aren't smart. They didn't even read the whole judgment. Na wao..

Get married when you are financially OK. If you don't get married at all, it is OK.

frog12:
look at example of MTN again, na only lagos dey use MTN?

I can laugh at your yellow teeth you are flashing above. Lol. You want to laugh at me ....lol....but you have just shown the level your brain can assimilate. Mtn vat plus vat on all other good bought in your state that you want to collect same amount Lagos collects can be seen below. Lol. I bet you don't know how to use data. Over 50% business people in Nigeria are in Lagos, and you want to compare the amount Lagosians spend on telephone and Internet services with your scanty state. Lol. You don't understand what data means. Una go just dey talk rubbish with confidence. That FIRS boss is exactly like you. People like you lobby to get positions in public offices, and then, no brain to deliver. Just imagine what a FIRs boss was saying with data he has on his desk. Chai! That guy is exactly you.

Lol

I would like to know the qualifications of this man who is talking trash. Lol. I do not have access to data, but I can use my brain. Lagos alone has 30 million residents, accounting for approximately 15% of Nigeria's total population. Because Lagos is the primary cargo terminal, most VAT on all improved goods is levied there. Lol. And we are importing more. This man is very funny na. Very funny man. The majority of Nigerian public servants have nothing in their brains, which is why the country is not functioning properly.

Very sad indeed.
