[quote author= post=128841515]This Life Is Truly Vanity[/quote]Many people don't even understand the meaning of vanity. They often attack or mock people when some celebs or billionaires are seen celebrating new mansions,new jets, expensive cars , etc and some people call it vanity.

In real sense, vanity is when you acquire all and still end up 6ft down there, laid to rest same way a nonentity or a poor man is laid to rest. If life isn't vanity, those billions of dollars inside the vault should have woken the dead billionaire up. When you die, you remember nothing about life again.

When a billionaire falls sick, he forgets about all the good life he had lived, he doesn't even remember anything as he's in serious pain. The only thing he'd be praying for is either healing, so he can keep living or death.

That's why I always urge people to be kind to others with their resources when alive. Cos anytime the end comes to that life of yours, the only benefit enjoyed from those billions you've worked for is the food you've eaten which had nourished your body. All those mansions and billions will be shared by those who didn't work for it. Then you'd face judgement on how you lived your life

I wonder what life is, if not vanity.

If truly there is excess naira in circulation, why is the new administration printing more in less than a year in office?

BusinessRe: Access Bank Funded N50B Contract Awarded To Wigwe's Wife By Abia Government by Eriokanmi: 10:09pm On Mar 06, 2024
Enugurangers:
Nigeria is a big crime scene.
Sanwoolu is at the venue where they're raining tributes on wigwe family. Tune to channelstv right now and watch. Sanwoolu confessed that wigwe financed his election and later approached him when he became.governor that he'd be willing to help his givernment at any capacity.

That said, every contractor sources loan to do projects. Our company does that too. When you need loan, you approach the bank as well.

No government project or contract in Nigeria would skip the procurement process, no matter how small, except you want to go to jail. It's a rigorous process. Contract can be influenced on a man know man basis, yes! But I don't see anything wrong here. Except some Jobless people just want to make a mole out of the mountain. There are millions of dollar projects here in Lagos awarded to various contractors and they had to approach the bank for facilities. Some were said to have been inflated 2 times more than the actual value. All political office holders are guilty of this. The rail project is a good example. Of course, you can't win such a contract without some level of influence.

PoliticsRe: Muslim-Muslim Ticket Not A Solution To Nigeria’s Challenges – Shariah Council by Eriokanmi:
dettolgel:
I appreciate people that reconsider their statement after they realise their mistakes. That is one thing majority of Nigerians need to learn.

The culture of mocking and bullying those that take back their words is unhealthy, it makes it difficult for others to do and makes it a lot easier for most people to double down on their mistakes. We should encourage people to acknowledge their mistakes it makes for a learning experience for everyone.

Meanwhile, I don't know what that guy means by Muslim majority? I think it is high we conducted a census in this country.

How can we effectively plan if we have no clue of the actual number of people living in Nigeria?
They'd never allow census in the modern day Nigeria to take place. They'd keep frustrating it. Buhari tried but failed. The election that brought in Jonathan as president had exposed them all. They tried to use religion to frustrate him up north, even telling them in the mosques to vote out Jonathan and elect Buhari and we call ourselves same Nigerians.

If you look at the electoral map of 2011, Jonathan didn't see meaningful votes in the north. It was the middle belt and the entire south that elected him. The same man was said to have favoured them more than their kinsman as president. Sultan of sokoto confirmed it many times. They always blindly call Obi a religous bigot despite making his point clear in that audio chat with oyedepo. They doctored the audio and cut off some areas where he spoke about religous sentiments. They now left the portion where he mentioned war, meanwhile that wasn't what he meant. He said election isn't supposed to be war but trust their gullible followers, they put that word on their heads and used it to label Obi and spread the doctored audio. I wonder which candidate is a religous bigot between tinubu, who was busy preaching a muslim-muslim ticket everywhere and forcing it on Nigerians and someone who said election isn't supposed to be war. When I listened to the complete version of the audio, I simply shook my head for Nigerians. Now, breakfast is served . Everyone must have a bite of it.

The earlier we stop tribalism and religous sentiments when choosing a leader, the better for us as a nation. I wonder if the same faith ticket is now solving the problems of Muslim faithfuls in this hard time

Ohhhhhh that may be the reason because it was basic economy, basic comes with so many restrictions so I don’t go near it. Yes with basic you’re only entitled to Seat(s) assigned after check-in, Non-changeable, cancel for a fee, Last to board, Ineligible for upgrades, No miles earned, Check 1st bag free and second will be paid, Ineligible for Delta Sky Club access.
It’s better to just add $120 and purchase main cabin ticket and have all the freedom.

Honestly delta is a really good airline I don’t even go near other airlines once it comes to going to North America. I think it was because you didn’t take cognizance of the price different between basic and main, if you had done main for them it’ll have even two bags and better seats with legroom. The price difference is usually fixed at about $120 but people don’t take note and you know this dollar to Naira wahala make everybody wants to save money it’s not our fault, if I save $50 sef it’s a lot of money.
Oh yeah. Being elderly, I didn't want them to encounter many stops and the difference btw basic and flexi was much during booking. That was why booked it.

That said, it was the cheapest that time despite costing millions lol. The manager only allowed me to pay for one extra luggage while they checked the remaining in.
I'm a tourist per excellence (that's the title I gave myself) even though my mission has always been business-based. I love enjoying every moment of my trips. If you love tourisms, try Emirates. I always enjoy their 19hr nonstop long haul flights to Los Angeles from DXB and other far destinations including Ca. They treat you like an egg.

I've flown their A380 double decked aircraft a couple of times which has the capacity to convey up to 700 passengers at a time. They check you in their 3 star hotel in dubai first before connecting the NA flight. This gives you the opportunity to enter dubai cos they'd give you a pass to enter and that pass is free...free UAE visa oo. You're driven in their bus across the city to their emirates hotel. Their dinner buffet is out of this world. But for people who don't like all that, a direct flight is better. I've flown BA, American Airlines, Turkish, Qatar, KLM, etc but have never seen such a pampering airline as the Emirates, my opinion based on the experience though.

I used a wheelchair service last year (April & August ) on delta when I had my baby and back to naija it was free. I added it on for someone who was going last month it was free. Just add it as an additional service after booking the ticket it’s completely free then you can tip the person who pushes you if you wish to.
I see. I bought a basic economy ticket for both of them and I learnt the seat type booked didn't have that service attached to it. Again, I got them 2 luggage each of 32kg ( that's 64kg in total for each of them) . But on getting to the airport, they dropped one each and said they're only entitled to one 32kg luggahe each, cos they are on basic economy. I had to drag this with them until it was almost time for boarding before their Manager now intervened.

The experience wasn't a palatable one and I hope my emirates could be allowed to fly again.

For those of you supporting this rubbish, I hope you don't complain when the hen comes home to roost. They have started with Govt.

I hope when they start breaking into your shops and homes you will still understand it's hunger? We were in South South when Militancy started and they were kidnapping the white expatriate people laughed it off and said it's just the white, they don't kidnap black people because they are our sons, the white began to go back to their country and when there where no more whites to kidnap they started kidnapping their so called black brothers who worked in oil companies, people still laughed it off that they only kidnap oil workers, when oil companies began to leave they started kidnapping rich men, people started saying they only kidnap rich people, today everyone is a target weather rich or poor nobody is spared. Same thing happened in the North with Boko haram, same thing in the east with UGM, here we are again cheering this looters. I hope when they start breaking into the homes of your age fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, cousins, uncles and aunties. I hope by that time we will also understand it is hunger?
Sadly, these people you talk about don't have any business with the social media talk more of reading whatever people say here. They don't even have android phones.

So your comment doesn't hold water. Nigeria is in the worst crisis ever. We've not seen anything yet.

Each time I take a walk in the street, people who always ask me to buy food for them.dont have a phone. Those are the people you see looting warehouses

Rephrased...PRESIDENT TINUBU RETURNS TO NIGERIA AFTER POLITICAL JAMBOREE, OP ED AND HANDSHAKES WITH QATARI SHEIKS. We're still waiting for the UAE visa ban and investors news after months of spreading fake news.

Those calling this generation who are already growing grey beards leaders of tomorrow decades ago destroyed this country. Sadly, they've not vacated the space, padding their age to remain there. I remember a day I visited my brother at UI and one guy brought readers digest to his room with a cover page advertising Dubai in which one man stood by a carmel with a caption Visit Dubai. Everyone was just laughing saying, who would visit dubai.

Today, a desert had become a renowned city. If you've not been to dubai today as a celeb or a leader, you've not been anywhere. They turned desert into a modern city. Dubai is now obeying the law of geography due to human activities. It now rains there as normal. I experienced the first rain during my visit in 2015. See jubilation everywhere.

UAE and Qatar have oil but utilised the proceeds. Nigeria has oil but the proceeds were squandered. It took UAE and Qatar discipline to get to where they are today, which Nigeria lacks. We now go to them for investment talks. What a pity.

I hope we won't be visiting Benin Republic for same purpose one day. The rate at which that country is developing secretly is massive any doubting Thomas should pay a visit. You'd think you're in Europe. Their currency has more value than ours now

I don't know if you've ever heard of this airport announcement that says, "Don't leave your bag unattended and don't accept anything from anyone.".

Also, I have heard, seen, or watched videos of travelers being arrested at airports for having prohibited items in their luggage. As a result of this, I will not assist anyone with his or her bag because I am not going to jail for anyone.

I hate this phrase "if I had known, I wouldn't do it.".
Good point. That's why I made my points clear to her. Even the one I risked, despite being a close relation was done with caution. I made sure she checked in all her luggage by herself. My help stopped behind the check in counter. I also assisted with the kids. On arrival at destination, she cleared her luggage by herself while I assisted with loading at the carousel point and moved it to the point where she took an uber.

Since then, I had vowed never to render such help again. Not even my relation would ask me to carry anything and they know me for that.

If your cousin is willing, please let me know. Again, thank you.
OK. She doesn't need any company. Just go to Airfrance website and book a wheel chair for her, from lagos to her destination in Canada and pay. A mobility assistant will handle the rest. Someone has also suggested
this. She wouldn't have to go thru the rigours of queues as she'd be checked in faster. Hope this works.
FamilyRe: Help! My Marriage Is Giving Me Pain. by Eriokanmi: 3:42pm On Mar 04, 2024
AkporsMechanical:
I promise to be very brief.
My wife and I live in a three bedroom flat without paying rent, although we only occupy one room since we don't have much property yet. The owner of the house abandoned the house before now and when we had accomodation issue asked us to stay there. We have been here since last year. However, there is no Geepee tank to supply water into the house. We could only pump water into our little drum when there is light. So I always go fetch water from the neighbouring compounds whenever there is no light which have resulted into several insults. My wife has been dragging me that I must buy a Geepee tank.

My salary as a private school teacher is barely enough to feed us talk more of saving to buy a Geepee tank especially in this economic crisis. In the midst of all these, my wife's phone went bad and needed a new one Just this afternoon, my wife started raining insults on me that I am not behaving like a man at all, that I should have settled down fully before thinking of marriage, that I want to make her go hungry. This was because I told her I would cut off some part of my salary to be saving so I can buy curtain for our room, television and save for Geepee tank. She even went ahead to say I am poor and wretched just because I can't afford her a new phone for now.

Since afternoon, I have refused to eat. My problem here is that my parents love my wife and my parents are far from where I reside. And I don't want to report my wife to my parents so it won't bring disrespect later to her in the future. Secondly, as the first born of my parent,I don't know how my parents will take it if I tell them I don't want to marry her again so they don't have b.p. I am really really confused. The little extra money I get from extra tutorial is what I do send to my two siblings in school even though is very little compare to their needs but at least it is something.

I feel like running away but to where? I truly love my wife but she is regretting marrying me. Please what can I do?
Sadly, you won't get good responses here. You should have consulted an elder instead. A large percentage of members here are kids.

You're right. That's why someone needs to begin to tell the males among them to save towards old age. Save from endorsement, acting, goodwill, etc. Most of them make money but still squander it on alcohol, women and drugs....I mean all of them irrespective of tribe.

Female ones among them always see someone who would help them. Men hardly see one. They're mostly on their own.
