You have done what is a expected of good friend. Not telling your friend would have simply mean betrayal. You only told your friend what you know and your friend made his decision.
As for the curses, never mind you shouldnt expect less.
Better to do what is right than fear the consequences.

Lovethaa:
There's this neighbor of mine , He used to be an Abuja based but work made him relocate to Lagos

To cut the Long story short we became friends after a while and we do chilli and Go out together . Although he is 5 years older than me .

He told me of his intentions to settle down as soon as possible which is right considering the fact that he is financially stable plus not getting younger ,

He recently met this babe around where we both stay and they started going out , I didn't think it was something serious until he revealed to me that he wants to marry her .


Now the issue here is that I used to know a guy that once dated the babe and after they broke up the guy revealed to me the crazy things they did and he also mentioned some of his friends that have tasted the babe in the same area too , I almost toasted her myself back then just to get a piece of the cookie but I later ignored the thought ,

So when my friend told me he wants to marry her ,It broke my heart because I felt he deserved more than a lady who had been used many times especially where he lives , Although at first I didn't want to tell him but I later opened up to him and the guy felt bad because he loves the babe but he thanked me , (Unknown to me that he had gone far as meeting the babe parents).


Long story short My friend broke up with her and the babe called me up ,laying curses on my head, Strong curses saying I won't know peace for destroying her relationship..

How she got to know I was the one who told her boyfriend I didn't know.

I blocked her numbers and warned her not to call me again because the curses were too much and she was actually crying why cursing me

Those curses and tears got me feeling uncomfortable and I have been wondering if I did anything wrong.

Was I wrong for interfering ?..Truth is I would have felt betrayed if my friend knows some secrets about my fiancee and he didn't tell,I was only putting myself in his shoes

P.s I need you honest opinion ....

Please do you know their reasons for not declaring dividend for the four consecutive years.

Leggitsam:
I emphatise with your sister. She was one of us that lost money to the greedy people of Nigeria. The like of Wale Tinubu in the banking industry. They wrote off your sister investment. They gave it out to South African investors.

https://www.proshareng.com/news/FRAUDS%20&%20SCANDALS/Who-Owns-Legacy-Shares-After-$864m-Write-Off-At-Ecobank--Post-Securities-Fraud/41454

At the time she bought the shares in 2008 during the public offer, the 5000 units worth $1385 or N169,000 strong Nigeria Naira at the time.

The accrued dividends from 2008 are:
2008 0.2 cents
2009 0.3 cents
2010 0.4 cents
2011 0.4 cents
2012 0.4 cents
2013 0.038cent
2014 nil
2015 nil + bonus 1 to 15 (your sister outstanding shares =5333 units
2016 0.02 cents
2017 nil
2018 nil
2019 nil
2020
The value as at closed of biz on 16/04/2021 = N25,600.
Your sister should just leave the shares for them or better still she should buy more and leave it as an inheritance for her children.
There is only one decent person in gtl who will ensure that her dividends are paid.
She is the head business development
amutuah@gtlregistrars.com
info@gtlregistrars.com
Your sister should copy her for the collection of outstanding dividends, the broker will sort out the dematerialisation and listing on cscs.
To be frank, Ecobank is fairly healthy and there is no other time for your sister to invest more than now.

Then female bad will now become more expensive.

The op will never ever call you, that I know and I am sure of. If you are sure of your idea and template as you call it, bring it up here. There might even be other persons who might want to invest in it. When issue of money is being discuss in the public space, then I hear somebody saying call me for detail, I do simply think otherwise of such person. I mean no offence.

niyispage2017:
I have a Template of a well lucrative business that you can be partner and be a shareholder in the company.. Its will be a great pleasure if u can give me your number or if we can see in person to discuss and show you the template . My name is niyi by name and my number : 09050523959

MAN Diesel, Injector, seems to be the best. The parts and mechanical are readily available. Whenever you decide to sell off, there is possibility of getting quick buyer than other trucks. Please, do not go close to automatic and electric type.

I think you are better as a manager.

Penguin2:
You see in this life, just choose what you wanna do with your life and be consistent, someday it will pay.

These artistes now never blow but they are 10million naira richer already.

That's what conditional cash transfer truly is and not 30k Npower or 10k tradermoni.

With 10million, these guys are made for life.

Anybody not made, can never be made.

Thank u Wike!

Modified:

So I realized some people seem to countering my suggestion that "With 10million, these guys are made for life", arguing that 10million isn't a lot of money.

My first statement to them is whoever 10million naira is not a lot of money to in a country where some live below $1 a day and some people work for a month to be paid 5k, no amount of money will ever be a lot to them. And that's how you know ingrates.

I spoke as someone with knowledge of the music industry who knows that a lot of talents abide in the street but are constrained by lack of funds.

Another thing is that music will drain you of your fund, leave you hungry and teach you real life lessons. So any artiste wey dey street wey see 10million no suppose misuse am.

Now let me break down this money to support why anyone doing music and got 10million should be made.

If I got 10million today, I will divide the money into two. Invest 5m into my music and keep 5m somewhere.

Of the 5m I'm investing in music, take 1m and meet a good producer cum mixer(don't go for Youngjohn, Kelp vibes or killertunes them that will ask for 10m for one beat) and create an album or an EP. Give it good beat and quality mixing.

Out of the tracks you made, look for which one you think will be fans favorite and shoot a music video for it. Make sure the video doesn't take more than 1m.

Now upload your album or EP on streaming platforms and release it to the world. And upload the video on YouTube. Data is the new oil.

Remember you have 3m left. Now with about 500k, you can hire 5 influencers on twitter and Instagram to carry your matter for head for one week.

Pay 500k to Mtvbase to play your video.

Check major cities of the country and the best radio stations therein and pay them to play your song for one month. 50k-100k can do the magic.

Most of all, get a manager.

Now hit the social media and do whatever you can to make your own noise too. I'm a fan of controversy. The one not damaging.

If after all these you don't see an appreciable growth in your music career, then go and take that 5m you kept and start a business. Music is not your destiny.

Remember, after keen observation of the industry, I do not think there's any role for magic and the spirits to play. Making it in music requires pure practical and calculated steps.

Gracias!

Just like this, somebody here said about guiness when it was #18.50 that was around January. Somebody here was asking if there was reason backing his information, but the guy simply answered: don't ask just buy. Now see where guiness is today.

*

In 2016 she told me her salary was #50.000 And then two years later, when she got promoted, I asked about her salary and she said, “Oh these people, don’t mind them. They added only #5000 to my old salary. Because of her meager salary, I’ve taken up so many responsibilities in the house without complaint. I pay for utilities and pay for food. I pay the fees of our two kids, clothe them, and take care of their medical bills. When my wife sends me a grocery list, she adds sanitary pads. She buys dresses and clothes, comes to show them to me, and asks me to pay for them. She started talking about a car when our second child came in. Things weren’t good on my side so I asked her to give me some time. She said, “I’ve saved something. I can add it to what you have so you pay me when your money comes.”

I agreed and took that money from her, topped it up to get her a car. For three months my ears never rest. She would wake up at dawn and ask me to pay what I owed her. I got tired and paid the money when I didn’t have much in my account.

One evening, I turned my laptop on and saw a lot of emails. I checked and it was my wife’s email that had been opened. I asked her, “Did you use my laptop?” She answered, “Yeah I was checking something.” I told her, “Then you didn’t log out.” She answered, “I forgot. Please log out for me.” I was about to log out when something caught my attention. I saw a mail with the subject, “January Payslip.” I opened and started going through. When I saw her gross salary, I was shocked. #400,734? And this girl has been crying poverty?

I went through the details. That night I couldn’t sleep. I was angry. I felt let down. I felt cheated. I felt played. We’ve been married for six good years and my wife earned that much without my knowledge? How much she earned didn’t bother me a lot than what she was using that money for. I decided not to talk immediately but rather do a little bit of investigation.

All my life I’ve held the view that it wasn’t right for anyone to go through their partner’s phone. It’s an invasion of privacy and it breeds mistrust in the relationship but that night, going through her phone was the only way to find out what I was looking for. I started with her best friend. Nothing much was found. Her family had a Whatsapp group. I read the messages there. I got few hints. I went through the chat with her father and that was when I realized my wife had bought a piece of land and had started building. Her father was in charge of the project. He had sent photos of the various stages of the building. At some point, her father said, “Thank you for helping out your brother. He would have been home had it not been you.”

She has only one brother—her senior brother. I went to look for the chat between them. Her senior brother lost his job and was home doing nothing so my wife bought her Hyundai i10 to use for Uber. Every week, her brother rendered an account and they split the money. From all indications, my wife was doing well for herself while she plays poor so she could rely on my salary. Why would she do that? I thought I was being a supportive husband so my wife could be proud of the man she married. When we bought land, it was her name and my name that appeared on the land title. That car I bought for her with a loan from her bears her name. I didn’t mind. I believed what’s hers was also mine. 

The next morning she realized I wasn’t looking well. I was boiling on the inside but looking for a good opportunity to start the conversation. When I calmed down a little, I asked her, “So why would you do that to me?” She asked, “What have I done?” I answered, “You bought land, you never told me. You started building on it, you never told me. When are you going to tell me?” She was shocked. She asked, “Who told you all that?” I said, “Your father did.” She stood quiet for a while. She asked, “Why would my father tell you all that? What were you people talking about” I said, “I don’t know. You can ask him.” 

We left it there. Some minutes later she came to me with her phone: “My father wants to talk to you.” The phone was already on a loudspeaker. His father was clearly angry. He asked, almost shouting, “You said I told you my daughter has a building? Where did I say that and when?” I asked, “Is it not true that my wife has a building project going on that you’re supervising?”  He asked me, “I told you that?” I asked, “Is it true or not?” After the back and forth I told them, “I read your messages last night. I saw the pictures. I read the various budget you had sent to my wife. I read the confirmation of the money receipts that you sent her. You’re a man. Would you be happy if your wife does this to you?” He started fumbling. He started apologizing saying he thought I was aware.”


My wife stood there motionless, didn’t know what to say. When her father hung up, I told her everything I knew, from her salary to the car she bought for her brother. I said, “Yet, even your sanitary pad, I buy them. You think I’m a fool? You’ll use your money to acquire your own properties and live on mine because you’re my wife? I hear. We’ll see.”

Trust was lost. Love was broken. We had to find a new way of living our lives going forward. Her father called me every morning and evening apologizing for everything and sometimes taking up the blame so I didn’t have to blame his daughter. I told him, “The emotional state I’m in right now, it would be hard to think straight or think forgiveness. Just give me space.” Three days later, they were in our house. The father, the mother, and the senior brother. They came to apologize. “Don’t let this break up the beautiful marriage you both have. If nothing at all, consider the kids and be lenient in your judgment.”

I listened to them. My position was still the same. “I need time to clear my mind. Just leave me alone to think.” From last month to this moment that I’m writing this, my wife had changed totally. She doesn’t ask for money but the house is being run smoothly. She has started paying for things she never paid for but that doesn’t move me. She has taught me a very great lesson and I’m taking it seriously. That in everything, I have to look out for myself and my family first. Last she told me, “If you want us to change the names on those properties, we can do so.” Guess whose name is on the property…her father’s name.”

I told her, “You don’t need to change anything. They are yours. You suffered for them so you can decide what you want to do with them.” The land I bought has our names. I’m selling it and take my money back. The car she’s driving has her name. I put a for-sale sticker on it some weeks ago. She agreed she’ll pay for the car. I’ve given her two months to pay up or I sell it and take my money. She’s getting the message and I’m glad. Each one for himself, God for us all. She keeps asking if I’m going to leave her. I keep telling her I won’t but if she wants a divorce, I will gladly give her. I’m not going to leave the marriage. I would give us some time to heal and see what may happen but when it comes to money, I’ve taken the lesson she taught me through her actions. 

*What's your take?*

Wahala for salary earners, whom their purchasing power keep reducing daily by inflation, triggered by continuos increase in price of goods and services as a result of bad policies by the government of the day.

Thanks for nakeding the truth. Now, see where we are today. The question is how do we trace our step back and how do we right the wrong and how do we amend the damages. I believ: therE should be solution, there shall be solution and there must be solution. Whenever I hear them say one Nigeria, I just feel it's because of the division that is why we are shouting it. But the reality is that, [b][/b]WHAT IS ONE ABOUT NIGERIA?

Jones4190:
ARE YOU A BIAFRAN?
Those who arrested and sentenced Isaac Adaka Boro to death for declaring Niger Delta Republic were neither Hausa-Fulanis nor Yorubas but two supposed brothers of his and Biafrans named Odumegwu Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi who were still on the side of Gambaris and still trying to please them as at then. For declaring Niger-Delta Republic Ironsi, the then military head of state, ordered Ojukwu to get Isaac Boro arrested for treason.
Ojukwu, in an attempt to please Gambaris, fought Isaac Boro for 14 days within which he used federal might of “one-Nigeria” to kill 150 soldiers loyal to Isaac Boro, caught Isaac Boro, stripped him naked and sent him over to Lagos where Ironsi charged him to court and within just 2 months got him convicted, at the Supreme Court, of treasonable felony of trying to break away from Azikiwe’s one Nigeria, got him sentenced to death by hanging. While Ironsi​ and Ojukwu did all that to Isaac Boro​, they left untouched their own Igbo brother soldiers who planned a coup with which they killed Innocent Hausas, Yorubas, Niger Deltans, Middle belters leaving Igbo politicians unharmed despite they, like Zik and Okpara, were part and parcel of the corrupt Balewa government.
However, before Ojukwu and Ironsi could execute their sentence on Isaac Boro God intervened and the counter coup happened. Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over declared Isaac Boro innocent and released him. But just fifteen months later Ojukwu too declared Biafra Republic due to the way Igbos were being killed in the North. In declaring Biafra, rather than first apologise to Isaac Boro for what he earlier did to him and then ask for his cooperation in fighting to realize the Biafra dream, Ojukwu did nothing like that but without consulting Boro at all went as far as arrogantly including in his Biafra map the very Niger Delta areas which Isaac Boro earlier tried to pull out of Nigeria and which he (Ojukwu) nearly killed him for.
This angered Isaac Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa who both pledged support for Gowon in order to teach Ojukwu a bitter lesson for his arrogance and dishonesty. That was why Isaac Boro and Saro Wiwa fought on the side of Gowon during the war. Naturally Isaac Boro couldn’t have come out of prison to join the Ojukwu who jailed him and fight against the Gowon who released him. It would have been absurd. No rational human being does that.
This is the truth of what happened and which Igbos hate to hear but prefer to blame everyone else as if they themselves were 100℅ innocent.
Igbos must learn to say the truth because if the Biafra/Niger Delta Republic they now seek is founded on lies and deliberate falsehood, like Nigeria, it will not stand but will soon become a failed state like Nigeria. We can’t leave Nigeria for another Nigeria.
But we however know that Igbos allergy to truth is incurable, therefore Niger-Delta states will never be part of Biafra

You didn't include commission and service charge by the auction company and handler respectively. And you forget to include towing or transporting to the port of departure. These are other cost that are in thousands. For example, there are some lot that you pay more than $2000 commission on a lot that is above $5000. Inland transport to port of departure is not expected to cost less than $1000 and above depending on how close the sublot is to the port of of departure, note that most of these trucks may require the use of low bed to transport them to port. The handler or the bidder (agent) is another fee on its own. It is usually not as simple as you see it on auction site.

I am back home now sir, let me do small breakdown for you if you can just sit and learn and you can even confirm it after now..

1.. $6000 to $7000 will but you either.. MACK, VOLVO, DAF or SCANINA 2005 to 2007
2.. $1500 Freight
3.. #1,200,000
4.. #100,000 Servicing
5.. # 60,000 Truck Registration..
6.. #198,000 Insurance
7.. # 223,000 GIT (Goods in Transit Insurance)

Note: Insurance will reduce if the purchasing price reduce, Hope you know that?

This is a very nice idea, the major problem I see here is the third party: that is the person to do the buying and dismantling. He might have finish the profit even touch the capital before the goods arrive Nigeria. That is where trust comes inn. Note: there are many whom are in the same situation as the op, so the contributions are not only for the op.

uchman:
Do you have someone in USA, Canada, Australia, Hongkong, Taiwan, Singapore, Dubai, Japan, Korea and others...

Salvage cars,
Dismantle cars and import as parts,
Put them in the container,
Customers are there already for you,
Within 3 days you are done with the selling once container hits tincan,
You can even sell at Tincan,
With this, i bet you that you will quit your job and involve fully...
I repeat, there are already customers with cash at hand waiting and begging.
No one will owe you a dime...
I wont loud it bro...
A trial will convince you...

Well-done.

If the cash is still available, by first to second week of April come to South south use the money to buy palm oil keep it till July/August. By then you must have got a good business idea of what to invest the money. By then it will no longer be 5m, at least, it must have grown by minimum of 10 percent.

I can't really comprehend what you are trying to say.

It looks stupidity in Nigeria has no boundary. I have waited long to see when a gutter built by Bini boy called Wike should be commissioned by Oba of Bini.

BareFacedLies:
I'm sure you promised her the loan when you were on top of her and about to cum

not all promise are bound to be fulfilled oooo. Promise in the other room and during the act is a major ones that are not bound to be fulfilled.

They didn't pay last month, I guess they crashing gradually.

Mr Macaroni, thanks for fighting for the powerless and thanks for speaking for the voiceless. History will definitely be kind to you for we know you are doing this for many who wish to but can't for one reason or another.
What you are suffering now is for the sake of millions of youth, and many that have suffered bad government across Nigeria. You will ever remain my Hero. Say no to bad governance!!!
