BusinessRe: How Long Did It Take You To Make Your First 1 Million Naira? by FlamingBulb: 3:05pm On Jul 18
It's easier to make 1M from 2020 till date compare to 2000-2019 so at your prime bw 2000-2019 and have not made 1m know that the 200k you made 2015 is like 1M now.

Back to the question....I made 3M in 2024 for the first time
This year too I made another million
BusinessWhat Can 20 Naira Buy In Your And Area? by FlamingBulb(op): 9:32am On Jul 15
This morning, I saw my 4 years old son holding a 20 Naira note as he was getting ready for school.

Curious, I asked, "Where did you get that from?"
"It's mine," he replied confidently.

I smiled and asked, "Oh really? What work did you do to earn it?

Without hesitation, he said, "Mummy gave it to me.

Trying to tease him a little, I said, "So you're taking it to school to buy some goodies and enjoy yourself?

He looked at me and calmly replied, "It cannot buy anything.

That one sentence stopped me in my tracks.
I looked at the 20 Naira note over and over again, trying to think of what it could buy here in Ikeja, Lagos.

The truth hit me hard almost nothing. For a moment, I felt overwhelmed with emotion.
Then my mind traveled back to the 1990s.

Back then, the same 20 Naira was enough for my father to leave us money for breakfast. We could buy pap, akara, and sugar, or even share cooked rice sold for 5 naira per plate among four of us.

In those days, if a student was caught with 20 naira in school between 1993 and 1995, it was considered a lot of money.
The principal would probably want to know where it came from, and your parents might be invited to explain.

I also remembered attending a government school in Northern Nigeria. After graduation, when I went to collect my testimonial, the fee was just 15 naira.

Today, 20 naira can barely buy anything.
It's amazing and heartbreaking how much the value of money has changed within a single generation.

What was once enough to feed a family breakfast is now almost insignificant.

Sometimes, it takes the innocent words of a child to remind us just how much the world has changed.

Mariangeles:
Do you know that right before Tinubu assumed office and ruined everything, one could start egg retail business with as little as N5,000?
Per crate then was about N800-N850.

See them now laughing at a valuable N10k from way back that Tinubu himself has now rendered valueless.
a create of egg was never 900 during Buhari but during Obi as a Governor yes it's was around 600-900
If Obi was talking about 2023 day he gave women 10k Oga Der is no diff be him and Tinubu wife

If she puts rice inside the package, it would have cost her more. So it's garri that is the cheapest to go inside the package.
mk I explain why she do am in other views as u no gree read.
As she thank God, her parent for helping her through the journey..she will never forget garri that safes her life countless times.
To honour and appreciate garri..that she decided garri will also wear a nice look to her occasion.

Not what she can afford..the Packaging alone cost more than the Garri.
Read her reasons so it's not abt wht she can afford.

I love the reason she gave...Gari is just to underrated and not well honoured as supposed even tho it our best friend in Nigeria.

HealthRe: 'Lasting Longer' With Jekonmo? The Joke Was Funny But The Health Risk Is Not by FlamingBulb:
I just clocked 38 and of recent let me say 3mnths ago I noticed I don't last long infact I release as quick as 1-2min once I am pumping.
- I tried the one called BLUE and for 2days I was sick with serious headache because I don't take sex enhancing drugs or concussions.

Generally I can stay 5-10mins depending on my mood and wellbeing. Although I am not the 2nd round person...I do my 1 round jejely which can last 30-1hr doin all sorts of things but once ontop 5-10mins.

The important things to NOTE

When I was doing 5-10mins pumping
I drink minerals alot
I am overweight
I sleep well
I have Job paying me well
I don't drink alcohol


Now that I do 1-2mins
I still drink my minerals as usual
I am overweight
I don't have a job
I sleep very well
Sadly I am depressed and always thinking and feeling sick
I started drinking alcohol let say 2bottles in 7days


Although I have kids infact all boys and twins
- I have reduced my miniral intakes
- Alcohol dat one I have stopped it like 1mnth it was easy as hating poverty
- I am hoping to see improvement may be when my mind is stable, get a job then I can say there is a big problem if I still do 1-2mins
- I am hoping to get a job but seriously still over thinking but pushing through.
- Reducing my weight and doing exercise is my priority also make God help me

FamilyRe: Share Your Experience Having Rich Sibling Or Friend That Refused To Help You by FlamingBulb: 6:13pm On Jun 18
Dijita:
This is the problem with many of you guys. you want someone to buy you car for uber or few millions to start a business. How many people have such capability?
Is it your brother or your uncle that is abroad?
At minimum you will need about #3million naira to buy uber car. You that is asking #3million doesn't even have #1million in saving. This your brother or uncle is saddle with helping everyone in the family with supplementing school fees, rent, medical emergencies among others.

In the case of your brother, he/she is solely responsible for all your parents expenses even though he is not the only child, you forget that this is also a help to you as you don't have to worry about your parent's expenses.

You alone want him to set you up with a minimum of #3million. How about your siblings, cousins, nephew, uncles, aunties, his friends etc? How rich do you think this person would have to be to be able to do this for you?
Nobody is saying safe the whole world..imagine your blood brother is outder struggling not dat he is irresponsible but just dat life favours us differently and refused to help.
I know twins brothers who refused to help his other and bliv life is sweet.
You have over 20m Ur own na to dey impress girls n buyin iPhone 17 and buying Ur kids latest shoes n jeans but Ur blood brother has graduated and been struggling with jobs yet u cannot help him.
Keep Ur money and enjoy it forever.

People walked their way to enjoy their lives and you now think if their enjoying the reward of their sweat and stress is a crime. My dear you better run on how you will better your life, because you will bear the consequence of whichever you choose.
help Ur brother and stop wasting money on useless things like iPhone 17 and impressing girls..while Ur blood brother and kids are suffering but you have over 12mil and your blood is Der and cannot even pay electricity bill.

ireke:
My opinion to things like this is that regret should come if it wants to come. If I have been warning someone with tears since I was barely 20 and they refused to yield to common sense, I can not kill myself over them if they have not made sense of their life after 30 years. I have helped a lot, I may and would still help, but I've really grown beyond people trying to use their poverty to blackmail me. Not even death scares me. All of us have to die at some point.
If you have tried to help someone and they are not helping the matter is a different thing.
But if you are capable of helping a brother/friend with let say a car to start Uber, few mil to strt up a business, professional course to hlp dem with better jobs knowing well dey are responsible and capable or jobs opportunity but refused instead dashing 20k helping them add up to complete rent to me is not help.

FamilyRe: Share Your Experience Having Rich Sibling Or Friend That Refused To Help You by FlamingBulb: 8:53pm On Jun 17
Dose saying help only comes from God or dey help oo dey no help oo are the ones actually guilty and stingy.

If you have and refused to help u will suffer for it now or future.

You buy brand new cars, have house, have businesses but your blood brother is suffering..Ur own is to dash dem 10k 20k after begging..continue

Surely time for regret will come.

"We cover Mr. Peter Obi with the blood of Jesus from now until he wins the election and until he leaves this earth at a ripe old age. The level of tension and hatred directed at him is not normal.
People abroad may even think he is the actual President of Nigeria because whenever Peter Obi grants an interview, he focuses on solutions to Nigeria's problems. But when those in power, and even members of the opposition, appear on national television, they keep discussing and att@cking Peter Obi, who is not even president yet."
If Obi experience 1/5 of the hatred u guys have for Tinubu by now God for don use him hand kpai Obi
Una too do and feel u can attack and no one dares to respond.
20% of Obi lovers left bc of u guys.
Your hatred, bigotry and attacks is just too much for someone like me bc I can't watch u say all kind of tins to my tribe and expect me to support Ur tribe...I rather not vote if I don't like Tinubu
