"I know say heartbreak dey pain o but you don help ingrate before?" Layi wrote on X. One woman shared how she paid NGN430,000 for someone's rent and all the person said was thanks.
One man shared a chat with someone he gave money and it shows the person acknowledging receipt with just "T". When he asked, the recipient told him T is for thanks.
Is thanks not good enough, what else do they want. I don't even like to be thanked. Just acknowledged that you have received it. The thanks won't bring the money back or multiply what I have left
GistMedia0: Popular Nigerian disc jockey and philanthropist, DJ Cuppy, has sparked reactions online after sharing a heartfelt reflection about materialism and her changing perspective on luxury. In a candid social media post, Cuppy expressed regret over owning an overwhelming number of designer shoes, admitting that her past obsession with material things now feels "insane."
"This is just my London collection," she revealed, showing off a vast array of high-end footwear. "I still have more shoes in Lagos and Dubai… it’s crazy. But guess what? All this doesn’t matter in Heaven, and you can’t carry them to your grave."
The billionaire heiress went on to say that she no longer values these possessions as she once did. "I’m not materialistic like I used to be. The amount of shoes or material things you have doesn’t make you a better person."
Due to some ugly circumstances, i dropped out of school in 2019 and I've been at home since then, periodically picking up one or two low paying jobs. 2 years ago, I decided to learning a tech skill. I taught myself C++ programming language and I'm currently teaching myself mathematics aggressively, studying for min of 8 hours daily.
For the past two years, I've mostly always been in my room, I can be in our house for more than two weeks, without stepping a foot out of our door due to how engrossed in studying I always am. My goal is to learn C++, DSA , And Math to an undergraduate level then use my skills to apply for scholarships to study abroad, and probably work in a hedge fund company as a quantitative trader in the future. For those who know what leetcode is, i can currently solve most leetcode (hard) problems in less than 40 minutes.
Now, I'll be 24 in August, and my dad is worried that I'm wasting my life away because I've refused to pickup any real job or learn a trade, his worried that I'm already getting old, always reminding me that people my age are already getting married. Now he wants me to leave his house to go look for my own place to stay, and has offered me 7 million naira to go start life else where.
Now I plan to move out of Lagos to PH or Akwa Ibom, then use part of the money to start up a computer business center, where I'll be doing typing, printing, lamination, jamb registration, GCE/WAEC registrations, etc. One of the reasons I chose this is because I've worked in a place like this before and I have experience in how to run such a place. Another reason is that, this business would give me time to also study and sharpen my Math/Programming skills. I plan to rent a shop that is big enough so that I can also be sleeping/living there.
Now I seriously need advicing because this is such a turning point in my life and the next few years is going to make or break me because there is no room for any disastrous bad decision
You are on the right track but try and minimise your risk. Computer business with accommodation ontop 7m in a new environment is unrealistic. Look for where you can manage before you understand your new environment

I'm throwing this question to you because it's very important. Every time I ask, "how is Nairaland?" I'm told that it is fine. If I ask what are the challenges I'm told there are none.
So I need to talk to you guys directly about what you think is going on and what you want us to do. I have not had the confidence to make major changes on Nairaland. I have a little confidence now because of AI.
What are your complaints, your challenges, your issues. What are the things that can drive people away and need to be nipped?
Speak your mind, but don't be rude. Thanks.
