CrimeRe: The Tragic Story Of Lt. Samson Haruna Whose Wife Burnt Alive by Esthered: 10:04am On Oct 08, 2025
The Bible says in Proverbs 25:24 (KJV) It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.

When as a man you see her anger traits and you dismissed it as female shenanigans instead of a red flag. She's described as quiet, easy going....but he knew what he faced and she must have manifested prior to the marriage.

May God comfort his family and may he RIP.
Maryam Sanda don get sister. After the act, her body go don come down but with consequences.

We have a problem in our society of ignoring couples when they fight and only step in when something tragic has happened.

FamilyRe: At 52 Can I Still Learn Work? by Esthered: 9:19pm On Oct 07, 2025
Why not look for something like Fufu making. In my area, it's matured people that do the business and the one in my compound has 2 adult interns and one has just gotten his shop (he should be over 45).

Sorry to ask but as an Omo Onile, didn't you have empathy for those you were extorting?
What have you done to ensure that young men don't engage in extortion in your area from honest people trying to build shelter for themselves.

Do you know that age of consent is lower in many of the American and European countries than the Arab and Muslim countries? Ignorance is not an excuse
You're talking about age of consent to sex and I was talking about age of consent to marriage inasmuch as the case is consent to sex Mr Know Know.

PoliticsRe: Households Suffer As Cooking Gas Shortage Worsens, Rises To ₦25,000 by Esthered: 11:05am On Oct 06, 2025
dominique:
I think the scarcity is in Lagos and parts of neighbouring Ogun states. Gas is sold 1800-2k per kg over here. Some people are filling ½ of 1kg because they can't afford to cough out 2k for 1kg. I don't think I've ever experienced this kind of cooking gas scarcity before
Okay.
It's unfortunate that nobody is telling the masses when it'll be over.

Their responsibilities aside their parents,should be on how to enhance their financial prosperity and not their financial damnation.

Pity for other family members can only ruin u further.

When I started helping family members,the news spread faster and i started receiving stupid financial requests and I realised I was killing myself...I had to rethink my steps and learnt how to say no to these guys and I thank my stars that I did.

At my age,I only think about retirements and and how best to continue to invest unceasingly for a better tomorrow...while rendering less than 1% of gifts and help by the way.
How did they react to you saying "no"?

Thanks for your response.

That is because most guys dont really know who and what are their responsibilities.

CrimeRe: Teenager Who Was Jailed For Having Sex With 17 Year Old Girl Dies In Road Crash by Esthered: 7:04am On Oct 05, 2025
The girl was one month away from turning 18, but sex with anyone under the age of 18 is an offence in Dubai.

This law is impressive for a country whose counterparts allow child brides from 9.

All this long epistle to justify being a simp undecided

Spend less time on Nairaland and more time being a man.

You're not " peace - loving" that's the lie she told you.

I can bet anything she regularly goes for Away Matches.
This is not a good comment. You degraded his spouse. That's disrespectful.

Uptober:
That still does not mean he can afford it, based on only his salary
Do you know his salary?

Beyond his salary, what if he has investments. People should look beyond his being an MD in recent times. The lump pay he's been getting is from the moment he earned managerial grade in banking. The ones that CBN gives approval for their promotion.

It means he didn't pay full cash for the house. His critics should rest.
BusinessRe: Roosevelt Ogbonna's £15m House In London: Criticism Trails Access Bank CEO by Esthered: 7:37pm On Oct 03, 2025
The question should be how was the purchase funded. If it's mortgage, how much did he commit as equity
PoliticsRe: Dangote Offered To Pay Sacked Workers Five Years Salaries Without Work – Sources by Esthered: 2:42pm On Oct 03, 2025
Can DR absorb the cost?
How'll it be reported in their books?
The offer to pay it monthly is suspicious. I'd prefer that they agree a payment of the annual salary of 5 years at once.

CareerRe: The Banker's Trap: Eight Years As A Contract Staff by Esthered: 10:58am On Oct 03, 2025
As much as the posts above are testimonials from former victims of the system, I still know a handful that are better than core staff.

I was talking to one last night who started out as a non core who landed in UK last week. Two who worked in my branch are getting married in UK soon.

One of whom I'm a referee is an Area Sales Manager covering regions of a Fintech coy. I know that some are exceptional and when they break limitations, you're never surprised because they were consistent.....
Some are too scared to take risks or have given up and left their fate to chance.

When I encourage some, those that care to listen are core staffs while some that failed to are where they are while the rest tried but maybe age factor and location too as the opportunities for corporate jobs are in Lagos but for those doing business, they thrive anywhere.

I'll ask again, how do men feel exploiting a minor?

Will justice be served?
A woman who ought to protect the girl child went to dissuade them from seeking justice.

BusinessRe: Access Bank Struggles While CEO Buys $20mn Mansion On London’s Billionaire's Row by Esthered: 8:52pm On Oct 01, 2025
MCentral:
In civilized climes Executive compensation is tied to performance. Such as Elon Musk recent pay award.

Access Bank has underperformed for the past 3 years. The bank is the only one among the big 5 that cannot even release its second quarter (Q2) financial results meanwhile we just entered Fourth quarter.

It may be his money but the optics is bad. N30 billion for a house meanwhile shareholders are suffering
What'd you have done if you were in his shoes?

There's performance bonus for executives which is outside their regular compensation and these bonuses are HUGE.

He may have accumulated over time to afford the minimum capital and the balance covered by mortgage.
The reporting is sensational journalism. He may have not even been awarded for performance for the current year. The board who have the interest of shareholders approve their rewards so why the fuss?
