Hello my love, Pretydiva

Justin Bieber is reportedly deeply disturbed and regrets his past association with Sean "Diddy" Combs following the rapper's arrest on sex trafficking and other serious charges. Bieber, who once considered Combs a mentor, is said to be grappling with the fallout and questioning his own involvement.

Videos have resurfaced showing Bieber's close relationship with Combs, including one where Combs pats down a 15-year-old Bieber, allegedly to check for a wire. Another video shows Combs grilling Bieber about his behavior, asking if he's acting different after selling out arenas.

Fans speculate that Bieber might have been a victim of Combs' abuse, leading to his distancing from the rapper over the years. Bieber's name has been mentioned in various resurfaced clips on social media, fueling concerns about their relationship.

Bieber had reunited with Combs in 2023, featuring on Combs' track "Moment" on the album "The Love Album: Off the Grid." However, insiders claim Bieber regrets this collaboration and would never have worked with Combs had he known about the allegations.

Timeline of Events:

- 2023: Homeland Security raids Combs' properties in Miami and Los Angeles

What fun and learning.

The situation is terrible. Getting a job that needs transport to and fro now looks like slavery .

I previously created a topic about an employer that refused to disclose salary range.

Days ago on Facebook, I posted in a group that I needed a job that can pay at least 100,000 naira monthly.
Same employer contacted me. I had to remind him that we have spoken before.
This time, he had no choice but decided to state the salary. It's a position of a secretary and he's said the salary is 40k.

Transport to and fro will cost me 1,000 daily.
So let's assume 25,000 naira is spent on transport, leaving a balance of 15,000 naira. Will 15,000 naira be enough to feed me in a month? That's 500 naira a day. Can 166 naira put food on the table? Other expenses nko?

I told him it can't work for me. And he asked me to find anyone that can take the job.

This life eh.. Sometimes, I wish the night never ends. Cos once it's morning, depression sets in.

When will this phase be over?

Start investing in the stock market. 10 years from today, you will thank yourself for not ignoring this advice.

I can feel the frustration and desperation in your words.


It's unacceptable that employers expect employees to sacrifice their well-being for meager salaries. The math you provided is alarming:


- 40,000 Naira (monthly salary)
- 25,000 Naira (transportation costs)
- 15,000 Naira (remaining for food and other expenses)
- 500 Naira (daily food budget)
- 166 Naira (daily per meal)


This is not a living wage.


Your decision to decline the offer was wise. No one deserves to live below the poverty line.


Some suggestions to help you navigate this challenging phase:


1. Continue job searching, focusing on better-paying opportunities.
2. Consider freelancing, remote work, or online businesses.
3. Update your skills to increase earning potential.
4. Network with professionals in your industry.
5. Seek support from friends, family, or mental health professionals.


Remember, this phase will pass.


Resources:

1. Job search platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, Jobberman)
2. Freelance platforms (e.g., Upwork, Fiverr)
3. Online courses (e.g., Coursera, Udemy)
4. Mental health support (e.g., Nigeria's Mental Health Foundation)


You are not alone. Many people face similar struggles.


Keep pushing forward, and better opportunities will come.

What ethnic group in Nigeria have the noisiest and most aggressive language?

Tinubu is truly punishing Nigerians for not voting for him to be President, even though he rigged himself into Aso Rock.

The recent attack on Hezbollah pagers in Lebanon has sparked concerns about the potential for escalation in the region. The operation, which resulted in at least nine deaths and over 3,000 injuries, including Iran's ambassador to Lebanon, has been likened to the Pearl Harbor attack of 1941. This has raised fears that Hezbollah will seek revenge, potentially leading to an all-out war between Israel and Lebanon.

The method behind the attack is still unclear, with theories ranging from explosive booby traps to a sophisticated computer virus that caused the pagers' lithium batteries to catch fire. This type of warfare is not new to Israel, which has developed advanced military tools and cyber-weapons to counter hostile neighbors.

The consequences of this attack are far-reaching, with potential implications for regional security and global peace. Hezbollah's allies, Iran and Syria, may worry about similar attacks, while Arab countries with diplomatic ties to Israel, such as Egypt and Jordan, may question the security of their communication networks.

Potential Consequences:

- Escalation of Conflict: The attack may provoke Hezbollah to seek revenge, leading to further violence and potentially an all-out war between Israel and Lebanon.
- Regional Instability: The attack's success may embolden Israel to launch similar operations, potentially destabilizing the region.
- Global Implications: Western democracies may assess the attack's implications for their own security and consider adopting similar tactics.

Key Considerations:

- Israel's Military Capabilities: Israel's advanced military tools and cyber-weapons make it a formidable force in the region.
- Hezbollah's Response: The group's ability to communicate securely with its fighters has been compromised, potentially weakening its operations.
- International Reaction: The global community's response to the attack will shape the consequences for regional security and global peace.

In the midst of these tensions, concerns have been raised about the potential for other nations, like Russia or China, to develop similar capabilities to disrupt electronic devices. The situation demands careful attention and diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation.

Believe in yourself..! Most important such frivolity won't lead you Nowhere.....

dey whine yourself. Most of those you dance and campaign for during elections all used special centers. Certificate is not always a test of intelligence. If you cannot pass it by yourself, pay someone to do it for you. So long as you get the Certificate you need to pursue more important things that can give you money or career in life. This is Nigeria. Get used to it.

Court orders forfeiture of 20 cars stolen in Canada, shipped to Nigeria
Justice Deinde I. Dipeolu of the Federal High Court sitting, in Ikoyi, on Monday ordered the final forfeiture of 20 stolen cars shipped from Canada to Nigeria.
The stolen cars are forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The Judge gave the order following a motion on notice filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The forfeited stolen cars are: Black colour SUV 400, White 4MATIC Mercedez Benz; SUV MDX SH-AWD Acura; Grey colour SUV RS 350L Lexus; Deep Blue SUV RX 350 Lexus, White Toyota 4Runner 2015; White 2020 model Lexus RX 350; White 2019 Lexus RX 350, Black 2020 Model Lexus RX350, and Black Honda Ridgeline 2017 Model.
Others are: White Lexus RX 350 SPORT 2019 Model; Grey Lexus RX 350 2019 Model; Grey Toyota 4Runner 2018 Model; White Lexus RX 350 FS Sport 2019 Model; White Toyota Highlander XLE AWD 2017 Model; Black Toyota Highlander 2020 Model; Black Toyota Highlander 2018 Model; Black Mercedez Benz G550 2019 Model; Red Lexus Rx 350 2016 Model and White Mercedez Benz GLA 250 2018 Model.
Justice Dipeolu had on May 27, 2024 ordered the interim forfeiture of the stolen cars and also directed the publication of the order in any national newspaper for any interested person to appear before the court to show cause why it should not be finally forfeited.
At the sitting on Monday, the EFCC, through its counsel, R.A. Abdulrasheed, told the court that the Commission complied with the order of the court regarding the publication.
Moving the motion for the final forfeiture order, Mr Abdulrasheed told the court that the application was supported with a 17-paragraph affidavit deposed to by Olufemi Olukini, an investigator with the EFCC, and a written address.
The EFCC, in the affidavit, stated that “ Sometime in April, 2022, during an official meeting held at 7A Okoti-eboh Street, Ikoyi, Lagos, between officials of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCM) and Lagos Zonal Command of the EFCC, RCM officials passed credible intelligence to the Commission which alleged: “That over 350 vehicles, which were comprehensively listed out on an excel sheet with their respective vehicle identification Number (VIN), were stolen from various locations in Canada and shipped to Nigeria.

“That these vehicles have been sold and/or being sold on an online website www.ii.com by some online vendors/agents, while others are displayed for sale at various car stands across the country.
“The cars are listed in a comprehensive excel sheet alongside some pictures and information on them. And that some of these vehicles are intercepted at the point of entry into Nigeria at Tincan Island port, Lagos.
“That our team commenced preliminary investigation into the case by identifying the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of each of the said stolen vehicles and subjecting them to analysis using Open Source Intelligence (OSINT).
“That preliminary results from the analysis revealed the vehicles were largely located across Lagos State metropolis, particularly Lekki at different car stands and places and the Nigerian ports pending clearance into the country. And that surveillance was, thereafter, carried out on the identified locations followed by sting operations which led to the physical location and identification of these vehicles. “
Continuing, the Commission further stated in the affidavit “that about 40 of the stolen vehicles were initially located by the intelligence team, who thereafter brought a similar application in suit no. FHC/L/CS/2051/2023 between Economic and Financial Crimes Commission V. WILMON AUTOS NIGERIA LIMITED & 177 ORS wherein a final forfeiture order was granted by Honourable Justice D. I. Dipeolu on 6 March, 2024.
“That soon after the above order was granted, the intelligence team further located the vehicles listed in schedule 1 and 2 of this application, which necessitated this present suite.
“That the 13th to 20th respondents described in schedule 1 and 2 attached to this application were recovered as part of the stolen vehicles shipped to Nigeria. And that the VIN of the vehicles corresponds with those of the stolen cars contained in the intelligence received from RCMP and no person has come forward to claim ownership of these vehicles.
“Investigation carried out revealed that the motor vehicles described aforesaid were stolen from Canada and shipped to Nigeria between March and June, 2022. And that most of these vehicles were insured and the insurance companies involved had indemnified the respective owners of the vehicles.
“That the insurance companies now stand in the position of the owners and delegated their interests to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police liaison officer with the Canadian Embassy in Nigeria to pursue their interests.

“That based on the facts stated on paragraphs 1-13 above, this Honourable Court on 27th May, 2024 granted an application for interim forfeiture and Order the Publication of the order. “
Mr Abddulrasheed, therefore, prayed for “an order of the Court forfeiting to the Federal Government of Nigeria all the properties mentioned in the attached schedules of this application, which properties are reasonably suspected to have been acquired through stealing and with proceeds from other unlawful economic activities.
“An order of the Court empowering the Canadian Deputy High Commission in Nigeria or any other officer so designated by the office, to dispose off the forfeited properties mentioned in the attached schedules 1-2 of this application either by sale or return to the victims, subject to remittance of the statutory two percent from the proceeds to the EFCC Recovery Account.”
Justice Dipeolu, after listening to the submissions by Abdulrasheed, ordered the final forfeiture of the stolen cars.

Ayjay44:
do you mind if I asked what job u did to raise the money? Is it working as online entrepreneur or what exactly

I once was working at a place where I earn 100k monthly. But you know as e be for Naija, before month end. Money don finish. Then I stumbled on some online tips about compounding as a secret to patiently build wealth from nothing.

Since then, the thing disturb my mind. So I decided to try out some of all these online schemes to see if anyone can work, because I needed the fast fast cash to use hold body jare, and I no get time or liver for yahoo yahoo scam stuffs. Luckily, I learnt one or two ideas concerning the stock market. I say make I dey try am with small small money. The more I did it, the more I got addicted to it.

E wan be like Bet9ja but in a more calculated and matured way.
Let me give you a tip of how it can work. Having done some turn over with it for a while.

Na examples I go give you now.

If you had bought Ikeja Hotel when it was N1 with 1 million naira, and sold it off when it hit N10, your money don become 10 million naira.
If you invest that 10million for UBA bank when it was N10 and sold it off when it was N30 naira. Your money don become N30 million naira. If you use am buy Wema bank when it was around N3 and sold it off when it reach N6. Your money don become N60 million naira like that.
If you use that N60 million naira buy Oando when e dey around N6 and sell am off when e reach around N95, Your money don become N950 million naira like that. I go pause here.

This is just one aspect of the hustle. The smart angle. Others dey wey be stress work wey man dey use to raise small small funds just to hold body so as not to harvest your corn when e never mature to the point wey you dey target make e reach.

Is it easy and straightforward as I wrote it? Nope.
Possible? Yes
I dey do am? Definitely.
But na just example I give you as my fellow youth. But question na how long the person fit wait, because sometimes you fit buy one company make price start to go down. But give am time, e go later go up.
Na everybody fit do am? Nope.

But all in all, anyone wey you want do, try make you dey do only business or work or hustle wey you see Millionaires and billonaires dey do. With time, you go see why dem dey do am.

But all in all, na God make life and wisdom possible for us all.

E don pass 3 years, wey I jejely resign from any salary work. Unless I see the one wey dey pay wella. Or unless I finally relocate outside. Because na part of my plan. To earn more outside so to invest more. Plot a graph and you will see that in even 10 to 20 years, your 100k today can turn to a lot of funds for you. So long as you keep your head in the game, and avoid show off. I never too hold something for now. But at 9 figures, I know how I have come far from less than 50k as savings before. But if you tell my village people say I even get up to 1 million naira, dem go swear for you say you be liar.


No worry na disguise. Even my wife no know how much don dey now. But I don push her enter stock market too, make she too learn how to dey patient and build wealth slowly and gradually. And she likes it. But na that her aggressive mood swings and how it can backfire abroad, dey scare me. Because the last thing wey I need now, na distraction. Warren Buffet and Tony Elumelu na my mentors. I hope you were able to get some clues there.

Ayjay44:
you have a networth in 9 figures ?

Like how much?

100 million naira?

Between 100 million naira and 999 million naira.

Thanks a lot.
