escortafrik:
Hello guys, I really need your advice because I’ve been turning this over in my head and I don’t want to make a mistake.

So a bit of background… I’m in my final year at the university, just trying to finish with good grades and figure out what’s next for my life.

A close friend of mine introduced me to her cousin a few months ago. He’s doing really well for himself, stable, calm, and very intentional in how he carries himself.

We got along pretty quickly and things moved from just talking to a serious relationship faster than I expected, but it has been good so far.

Now the situation is this… he wants me to move in with him.

At first, I thought maybe it’s just excitement and love growing fast, but he’s been consistent about it and says it’s because he sees a future with me and wants us to start building our life together properly. I do like him a whole lot , and part of me likes the idea of us being together in that way, like a real couple sharing everyday life.

But I spoke to my friends and they are not having it at all. They keep telling me that once I move in, it might reduce the chances of marriage happening, that men can get too comfortable and stop seeing the need to “formalise” things. Even his cousin who introduced us is saying I shouldn’t as well but I’m quite surprised because this guy has been so good to me in every aspect of my life.

Now I’m stuck in the middle. I don’t want to act based on fear, but I also don’t want to ignore advice that could save me from future regret.

So I’m asking honestly… what do you think I should do in this situation?

That's a red flag and you should take it seriously, don't throw it away.

No man raise from a responsible home cohabits with a woman he isn't married to unless he doesn't understand what family values entails.

I can understand a woman visiting and leaving but asking her outrightly to move in permanently shows that he lacks that critical virtue required of a responsible man.

Don't overlook that. If he has family values he will respect not just you but your parents and know that allowing you to move permanently with him is like disrespecting your parents and his own parents as well unless those are not big deals to him.

Men sometimes behave like dogs, they watch and study your every moves and actions and your behavioural pattern will shape our attitude towards you. When you move in like your cousins likely said , you will lose him. You cannot give what a wife is giving and expect to graduate from being a girlfriend to a wife when as a girlfriend you already served the purpose of a wife. He may feel comfortable until maybe one day (God forbids) he will end up marrying your corps.

I am referring to civil servants in Lagos or abuja

Unless the civil servant is stealing from the govt using their usual bureaucracy and corrupt practices to divert funds meant to be paid into govt accounts to their own pockets and issue fake receipt like they normally do , they cannot

Unless they have side businesses or hustles that complement their civil service job they cannot

lordm:
If civil servant with lower salaries are building, what's your excuse?

Lol. Presently I don't care where you are you cannot do that with 200k salary with a family

Civil servants are the most corrupt set of people that divert funds meant to be paid into govt accounts, they used bureaucracy to get the money and issue receipts. With that they make alot of money before the salary drops.

Some do other jobs and just blatantly leave the civil service job unattended but collect their salary. I saw my teachers do that in secondary school. They come to class once a week to teach but for most part of the week they are teaching in other private schools while still getting paid by the govt.

Lastly, many civil servants have farms and other busineses that give them so much money, the 200k from govt is just extra plus they are just in the job because of pension for old age.

So don't come and be saying civil servants earning 200k right now can build a house. Anywhere in Nigeria presently they cannot try it except it is mud house you are referring to.

By the way how many civil servants earn up to 200k sef

Killermamba:
it eventually stopped on its own after some time.

It doesn't. What he is suffering from is microfilaria

If left untreated can cause elephantiasis or river blindness


I once had it and did test, all the labs said I didn't have bacteria in my system , I thought it was bad water but a pharmacist told me to ask for microfilaria test which I took and it came out positive

luvlyoracle:
I think it might be as a red of water.
The water in your area is hard water I heard those in the UK suffer from it as well

It's not water, it's microfilaria like he stated
I have suffered from that sickness before and it's terribly bad.

Microfilaria is caused by mosquitoes or black fly that feasted on an infected person and then dump the eggs on a new host. The eggs grow to become worms in the blood which in turn begins to reproduce.

Unfortunately there is no permanent cure for developed microfilaria worm but it can be managed to reduce the larvae load.

Failure to treat it properly can lead to elephantiasis or river blindness.

Drugs like mectiza or ivermectin are given orally to treat it

The highest cost I scored was 100/100 but the lecturer gave me 98/100 but told me that no one has ever scored that high in his course.

In my 300L in the department of computer science there was this course that scared everyone... STA311 (Operations research: assignment, transportation and construction)

I went for holiday after the last semester break, it was the first time I was returning to Lagos since I gained admission, as usual nothing dey so Instead of 2wks break I spent more than 2months hustling to atleast see money to transport myself back to school because it was that tough.

I already missed a test and some assignments but when I saved some money I entered night bus to school, got to East, went straight to my friend's lodge, dropped my bags, freshened up and with sleepy eyes went to class.

I usually say at the back with my guys and I just sit without asking questions or anything, infact they barely saw me in school because most times I was out there hustling to see money to feed and pay my fees so most of my coursemates didn't even know who I was except my guys.

That day, I sat at the back just observing and the young lecturer then said everybody failed the last test he did, the department was rowdy cos everyone was scared of that course and in my mind I was like thank God atleast me that missed the test, that puts me and the others on level ground.

After teaching he gave a question and said anybody that can solve it will be awarded full marks and the brilliant people stood up to attempt the question, atleast about 4 people attempted and failed then I told my close friend that I can solve that thing.

He was the one that forced me to stand up because normally I don't ask questions or attempt anything. So I stood up and went to solve the question.

Everyone that didn't know me stared in surprise and with steeze I solved all the questions without breaking a sweat. One hand was even in my pocket while I solved the problem.

The lecturer was stunned and the statement that came out of his mouth was " boy are you a machine?" I smiled and he was so surprised that he gave another question which I easily solved... The whole department almost killed me with their look.

The lecturer asked for my registration number which I mentioned and the whole department shouted heyyyyyyy! They've been seeing my results when they are pasted but didn't know who I was. I was an A student that was barely seen in class.

Fast forward, I became the lecturers favourite student and blasted all his test and see ladies rushing to my house to come learn operations research. I was a decent guy sha and didn't do anything but I became so popular in the department.

After exam, the lecturer said I scored 100/100 but reason he gave me 98 was that 98 was still A 😂

ridevendor:
Honestly…

I used to think people were exaggerating when they complained about maintaining a car in Nigeria.

Until I sat down one day and calculated everything properly.

And I won’t lie… I was shocked.

Let’s Break It Down

This is just an average car owner trying to maintain a decent vehicle.

Not even luxury.

Fuel

Depending on movement:
₦10,000 – ₦30,000+ weekly

And if you move around a lot?
Even worse.

Maintenance

This one humbles people fast.

* Oil servicing
* Brake pads
* Suspension
* Tyres
* Battery

One small issue can suddenly become:

> ₦80k
> ₦150k
> ₦300k

Just like that.

Nigerian Roads

This one deserves its own section honestly.

Bad roads damage:

* Tyres
* Shock absorbers
* Alignment
* Underbody

Sometimes it feels like the road is fighting the car personally 😅

Other Hidden Costs

People forget:

* Car wash
* Parking
* Insurance
* Documents
* Traffic stress
* Unexpected repairs

Everything adds up quickly.

WHAT SURPRISED ME MOST

I finally understood why many people now:

* Use Bolt more
* Rent cars occasionally instead
* Or delay buying another vehicle entirely

Because owning a car in Nigeria today is almost like managing another responsibility on its own.

THEN I UNDERSTOOD SOMETHING

A lot of people complain about:

* Car rental prices
* Transport prices
* Driver costs

But after seeing what car owners spend regularly…

I started understanding the business side better.

Especially for operators managing multiple vehicles.

MY HONEST OPINION

At this point, reliability matters more than “forming”.

I’d rather use:

* A well-maintained car
* With peace of mind

Than force luxury and end up stranded somewhere.

LET’S DISCUSS

Car owners here:

What shocked you most after buying your car?

* Fuel?
* Maintenance?
* Nigerian roads?
* Spare parts?

Or do you think people are still exaggerating?

FINAL THOUGHT

Owning a car in Nigeria is no longer just about buying the vehicle…

The real challenge starts AFTER purchase.


#thread

Same reason I gave my car to a driver to use for Uber and give me returns weekly because I couldn't cope with the stress.

Back in 2022 I bought a Toyota Corolla and lost sleep. I would wake up in the morning wash it, check oil, check everything then go back to prepare for work then weekends when I am supposed to rest neighbour will wake me to come and move my car for them to go out.

Sometimes out of nowhere lastma, police etc will just choose to be mad or keke drivers will scratch U.

It was messing with my mental health so I just leased it out and have never touched the car since 2022 that I gave it out

Anywhere I want to go with my family I book a ride and go no stress

https://www.infolandia.com.ng/the-ultimate-checklist-for-buying-a-uk-used-laptop-in-2026-in-nigeria/

I sell direct foreign used laptops in computer village ikeja and often time I try to educate my customers

I don't only sell laptop as a business, I studied computer science, practiced as a web developer, IT support and network administrator for some years before switching to full time business, so when I advise customers I know exactly what I am saying both from theoretical, practical and business views but it's unfortunate that sometimes some customers are the cause of their own problem

When you come to my store and you don't really know what you want, the first question I ask is what program will you be running with it or can you tell me the kind of software you will be running frequently. That is to enable me advice you properly but many atimes some customers ignorantly insists on something else.


I had a situation where a lady that was about to enrol for a multimedia program that requires heavy graphics and GPU rendering and she walked in to my store with her dad . I showed her the pc she asked for (one beautiful, foldable HP ) and while she was going through it, I asked ma, do you mind telling me what kind of programmes you will be running frequently and she said Adobe premiere pro, Revit etc and immediately I told her that, the laptop she needs is one with a GPU not this... I preached and preached but she insisted. I knew it was a disaster waiting to happen so I refused to proceed with the sale and they went to another store. As usual the other vendor sold and it didn't take beyond two months that pc crashed, the board died and when they went back to the seller, it was too late cos warranty had pass.

They came back to my store and still bought the one I recommended with regrets for the money they wasted.

Also sometimes customers make mistakes with processor speed. You will see a customer reject a 10th generation laptop or 8th generation laptop because 1.19ghz is displayed as processor speed and instead opt for a 6th or 7th generation laptop that usually comes with 2.71ghz speed.

Some you try to educate them but they will insist on buying the 7th gen with 2.71ghz but failing to understand that 6th and 7th gen laptops run on dual core processors (2 cores) while 8th to 11th gen run on quad core (4 cores) it's like two people (6th and 7th gen) working on a field and on same size field 4 people are working on it. Who do you think will be faster and efficient?

Also 8th gen upwards have lower speed displayed because that is their base speed but the catch is that they are designed to turbo boost beyond 3.5 to 4.9ghz speed almost double the max speed of those 7th or 6th gen.

Purchasing a good system depends on deep knowledge and a sincere seller.

Do your due diligence before stepping out because you can see a beautiful and neat pc but you may be buying the wrong specs for yourself and the seller will not tell you.

Don't worry she will come along but you have to stop calling her.

What most guy don't know is that ladies hate yes men. Ladies only follow yes men for survival but not cos they have any feelings for them.

That is why you will see more ladies falling heads over heels for that strict and principled guy than for a nice guy.

She wanted to come but despite her availability you wouldn't sacrifice your match over her unscheduled visit

She is taking note to see how you handle it. If you keep calling and appearing weak she will completely ghost you but since you've called like twice and she didn't pick. Ghost her and stand on your principle, she will come along and when she comes she will try to guilt trip you.

When she tries to put the blame on you, tell her that things don't work that way that you already planned your day because of her response towards coming to visit and you were surprised that she changed her mind suddenly.

After everything apologize to her and say no vex, just to appear as that soft, nice guy but she will get the message that you apologized for peace to reign

I was raised in a public compound in a single room, face me I face you with my parents and 8 other siblings.

Growing up was fun because we experienced neighbors fighting, jabs and also had many kids from the same compound and also our street to play with

Growing up in a public compound and a ghetto gave us a sense of purpose. While the set before us many are not doing well I can say my set (group of kids I grow up with) are doing well for ourselves.

Among all of us I am second to the least doing well. I am married with kids and so far I am trying for myself.

A friend of ours has made it big in the crypto industry I don't want to mention his name as some of you may already know him.

Three of our friends are not in the country. one moved to Austria immediately we finished secondary school. One is in US and has been there since 2012. One is in UK working as a medical doctor with his wife

The ones in Nigeria, one runs a successful business, one is a big time yahoo boy. Yahoo boy with properties living a low key life....

We are trying for ourselves and every year we come together and play ball. No matter where you are . In Lagos or outside Lagos we come back to our hood to play ball. Even come with our kids and wives.

Now our kids live in a houses with private kitchens and toilets, I am happy with that but I also take them to the hood where my mom still lives (she has refused to leave cos she said all her children have married and left, the neighbours and familiar faces keep her company and she doesn't want to go out and be living alone in a 3 bedroom flat). My kids spend their holidays most times with my mom and I notice they always look happy going there because they have lots of kids (cousins inclusive) and friends to play with but when they are at home that privilege to play isn't there

lawani:
Even in Lagos, if they provide you accommodation then it is ok and many jobs in Lagos come with accomodation

Lol. Only a fraction of Jobs in Lagos come with accomodation oooo no let anybody whine u

Powerbandooo:
Maybe for you guys in Lagos
Here in osun state, there is a university lecturer who is a family man earning with 200 to 300k, and is still leaving average ok, drives a car with 2 teenager kid, moderately doing fine,
I am saying this because I have seen many
May be Lagos should be excluded

I clearly stated my opinion is for Lagos state where I live

Powerbandooo:
Let us be realistic, It is enough to live life well as a single guy, not married
Sometimes I will see nonsense writeup that someone who is making 500k as a family man is not enough,
The truth is where we will use see a job of 500k in Nigeria
This is Nigeria, anybody that is making 300k with a family of 4 or less is doing well, we should not let anybody pressure you

So for the 100k salary for a single guy it is fairly enough to live life managely well
Any writeup that will counter what I am saying is nonsense
Rent is paid every year, not something you pay daily

There is a big difference between doing well and struggling to survive each month.

When you say a family of 4 with an earning of 300k per month is doing well, how did you mean?

Is Lagos state included in that conclusion?

I understand that yes there are families surviving on less than 100k a month but that does not mean that they are doing well and it also applies to a family surviving on 300k.

Let's break it down. I am specific about Lagos only. Other states are not in my argument.

A family of 4 (father, mother, 2 kids)

Earning 300k.

Let's assume they live in a room and parlour (mini flat).

In Lagos the jobs are situated in places like Lekki, ajah, ikoyi, VI, Ikeja, Surulere, yaba and Apapa..... Getting a good job outside these axis is rare...

Accomodation for a mini flat in those axis is out of the question because definitely the family earning 300k monthly cannot afford it so we will assume they live outside that area.

Let's say he works in Ikeja and lives in Egbeda.

A mini flat the cheapest ones in Egbeda now cost 1.2m (that's cheap ones oooo) but let me be nice and easy 800k

To save up for rent he needs to save N67,000 every blessed month for one year from his salary.

So if N67k leaves his account every month that's N233,000 left.

Transport from Egbeda to Ikeja everyday to and fro will take 2k daily from him

Egbeda to Ikeja N500 coming... Then maybe keke to his office like Allen or Toying additional N300

Coming back trust Lagos your fare has doubled. So Tfair to be nice 2k daily

That's about 50k monthly for 25days of work.

We have N183,000 left from that salary.

Upkeep for a family of 4 let's assume 100k monthly. He has 83k left


Other bills to pay

Nepa bill
Recharge cards
Children school fees which comes every 3months (meaning 3 times in a year he will have nothing to save)

We assume nobody falls sick
No emergency.

He doesn't even eat anything at work all year and everything goes as planned for his strict finances.


My brother you've seen the breakdown despite how hard I tried to give unrealistic prices in Lagos especially with accomodation.

A family of 4 surviving on 300k monthly is not doing well but barely surviving

Best decision I ever made was to quit my japa plans and the madness to join my friends in the UK.

I got admission, got all my documents and was preparing to pay school fees when my former employer said boy what's wrong with you? You have a thriving business and you want to leave to go and wash nyash in the UK?

I was making 1m from my business after expenses two years ago. I could save 500k when I remove feeding and other family wahala but it wasnt enough. It was when I wrote my former boss for reference letter ABI wetin them call am, he called me to his office and talked to me.

He is someone that travels to UK and other countries like 15 times in a year and he understands better.

He said I should forget about UK, Europe and Canada that they are not worth it.

That if I can move to the US legally that he can advise me to sacrifice everything and go, even Japan or South Korea he will encourage me to go but UK, Canada and Europe it doesn't worth me shutting down my business for them that I will regret it

I listened and aborted all plans. I tried US until Trump entered and made it impossible to go

Now sha I am grateful, aborting my plans made me put more effort in business and now I can save 2m comfortably after expenses and family bills.

I do not regret going and not even interested in any japa moves now so long as business remains good

Toolegit123:
Good day my Nairaland fam.

Please,matured minds in the house,is it a good thing for a man to help his ex girlfriend who's now married, financially. She used to be someone whom I loved so dearly in the past but unfortunately,she broke up with me immediately she met someone who was already asking her hand in marriage. It's been over 3 years since she got married and I made sure I cut every bit of communication between us. Out of the blue,I don't know who gave her my number. She called me,and apologized for what she did to me. Even before she could ask for my help,I already knew her husband wasn't financially buoyant like I thought. She said she wants to open a provision store ,cuz immediately after they got married,they relocated to Lagos. And she asked for my assistance.

So,I don't know if it's appropriate at all to help her, considering how she left me emotionally stranded when I needed her the most in my life. Tho I've completely moved on with my life,but receiving a call from her brought back a whole lot of memories.

Please,my fellow Nairalanders, reason with me. Should I help her out?

A similar situation is what happened to me.

This ex of mine deliberately didn't want to talk to me despite all the efforts I made. After school I was going through shit and life was too hard, I couldn't keep up with regular calls and she moved on despite knowing that I was trying. She moved on and didn't want to talk to me. Several times I tried calling but she wouldn't respond or pick so after years of trying I moved on.

I am now married to a far more beautiful and intelligent wife.

Fast forward to two weeks ago after a long 5yrs, I received a call from her and her first statement was hey! Long time. I responded how are you. My wife was there, I placed the call on loudspeaker.

She asked are you married, I told her yes with two kids and she kept calm then proceeded to apologize to me and explained how her life got ruined

She said she refused to talk to me then because her boyfriend didn't like her talking to me and it was causing fight between them that's why she blocked me and said her life is messed up. She got two kids for the guy out of wedlock. Bla bla bla talk was sha plenty and they are going through alot plus her family abandoned her cause she got pregnant for the guy twice and nothing has been done on her head. That even to feed is a problem because the guy is not working

That passed and last week I saw text, from her that they are struggling to eat if I can help. I asked her, won't your man be angry that you are now talking to the same person he asked you to block? She said no that they need help. I felt pity, told my wife about it and we agreed I can assist with 20k which I sent to her

3days later, she came to my DM and narrating all she is going through, how she regrets pushing me away bla bla bla. I knew this person telling me her sad story isn't healthy. There is nothing I can do for her, the damage has been done. She got pregnant not once but twice and me I am married so telling me your sad story is like a regret movie and it will end up with her maybe trying to destroy my own married. Just two days ago I had to ghost her and stopped replying or opening her messages.

I am not angry with her, she is in the past and I have no feelings for her but I don't want to hear her sad story or allow her cause trouble in my home so ignoring her completely will send the message to her. I have helped her that once by sending money for them to feed but I don't want to listen to her sad stories anymore and give room for recurrent help where she keeps coming back to beg.

My guy I think you should do the same before you get yourself into trouble and start catching feelings for a broken married ex again

Some times are like that. I don't know about others but I had a similar situation with my then girlfriend who is now my wife.

We dated for 8yrs and in the first 6yrs of the relationship I didn't receive anything whether gift or money from her. It was on the 6th year that I received a clothe gift from her which I couldn't even wear because it looked somehow and I told her I wasn't going to wear it because I didn't like it and it was those cheap common shirt they spread everywhere for 3k. So she gave it to her brother.

The following year she got me boxers of 5k which I found funny but accepted.

But the thing there is that she was a good girl, a good manager from a good home who just didn't know how to buy gift or spend money. I even saw that to herself she didn't buy expensive stuffs, she was just ok so long as she looks good, she doesn't mind the cost or quality and she is terrible at surprises.

I looked beyond that and also the fact that whatever you give her she is contented, manages and doesn't even make demands.

On our wedding I spent over 4m all from my pocket without any direct support from her or her people. Even my people didn't even support me but I did it anyways and didn't complain. I looked at where I was coming from sef and where she is coming from, e no really dey and she wasn't working so it's unrealistic to ask her to support anything.

After we got married and she secured a job, the same lady has changed, not drastically but in a good noticeable way. I notice sometimes things finish in the house and she replaces them before I notice.

Yesterday I saw that she bought some foodstuffs in the house without asking me. Sometimes she cooks from her pocket and buys clothes for the kids.

I pay the bills and provide everything we need without asking for support, her salary I don't even look at it. Let her save and have money for herself but she goes the extra mile to ease alot of my burdens when things are needed in the house and I haven't noticed.

The only time she asks is when maybe she is broke but so long as she still has money, she may not even make requests and will just quietly do it or manages whatever I have to provide.


That's why I said, some people are like that. Just look at the family your woman is coming from sometimes how the mother is and also check her overall behaviour if they complement the one that scares you. You cannot have 100/100 sometimes 80 is enough

Lol. Iran fell for the bait. Cease fires only favours the stronger nation and Iran just fumbled

If at all there had to be a cease fire, Iran should have negotiated for a permanent cease fire and made sure every issue is addressed but agreeing to a two weeks cease fire is what they will regret it they do not use their number 6.

The reason is because US and Israel has more advanced firepower, yes I know in this two weeks Iran's allies like Russia and China will flood Iran with more weapons and more air defenses but time and time again we've seen these Chinese made air defenses fail.

They failed in Pakistan war against India
They failed Venezuela
They failed in Iran during the 12-day war
They even failed in this recent war as US and Israeli planes moved freely in Iranian air space

So counting on Chinese air defenses is a big mistake and also their J-20 aircrafts which countries like Nigeria, Vietnam, Pakistan etc have abandoned because they malfunctioned and failed in combat. Perhaps Russian air defenses can do better but those ones also have shown signs of serious failures in Pakistan and Venezuela and some parts of Iran. So stopping US bombers will be difficult when US and Israel use the two weeks break to restock their arsenal's and come back.

Secondly, Iranian leaders will be picked like flies. You see during the 12day war, Israel killed many of Iranian leaders while the rest ran to underground bunkers but when a cease fire was agreed, they all came out of their bunkers and during this recent war Iran and US have killed even more. Do you think it's just a mere coincidence? No it's not.

When they hid in those bunkers, US and Israel have satellites that scans the whole of Iran. Immediately those leaders come out of their hiding, Israel and US can see where they are coming out from, their hiding places and will keep that in record. When hostilities begin again they already know where those leaders will be hiding so they easily pick them one after the other that is why in this recent war they killed alot of leaders in Iran.

Now that a new cease fire has been announced, feeling safe those that went into hiding will come out again not knowing that the US and Israel are in the sky watching with their satellite and they will see where they came out from and when hostilities resume again, more will be killed

Immediately I saw videos of US presidential dooms day plane in the air for the first time in 50yrs I knew Trump was about to do something nasty and Iran will hastily agree to his demands

I am not a supporter of a this Tinubu's govt because I believe he has failed in many areas but seeing the work they did in Lagos at my Alma Mata in Tolu school complex Ajegunle, I must commend them

I school in Tolu complex. Alakoto secondary school to be precise and for anyone that schooled in that complex we can tell that the schools weren't that bad because Fashola and Ambode did alot of renovations before we left but Sanwo Olu has taken it a bit further. Tolu school complex has been totally revamp rivaling and beating all the private schools in Ajegunle by a thousand miles.

I wish you people can come and see what it looks like now. I fear for private schools right now because many of them will shut down.


School buses have been provided, all the classes with computers and very good environments. What they need now is proper training for teachers.

If you do not know Tolu school complex let me explain.

Tolu school complex is the biggest school complex in Africa with over 16 secondary schools (now increased to 30) and about 5 primary schools (now 6) making it a total of 36 different schools in one complex.

It's a serious hall for learning and I am glad it has been modernized. I am a proud alumni from that complex

Only delusional people will believe this lie.

You think if Iran had the downed Pilot they wouldn't be parading him all over the media for a bargain?

Why are they not showing the captured pilot on their media for the world to see?

Anybody that thinks Iran is winning this war is a very stupid dumb ass.


The people fighting against Iran is just less than 20% of US Navy. Just 20% of US Navy oooo not entire Navy or US complete military might.

What people don't understand is that US Navy is the second most powerful air force in the world just behind US air force. Think about that.

The Naval wing has their war ships and carriers that can move dozens of plans and personnels as a floating base to show strength.

Now to Iran, only a fraction of that Naval strength is engaged and worse is that they are using old planes more of F-15, B2 bombers, Warthog etc these are planes designed in the 1970s.... The newer planes are not yet in action and not been revealed.

If these outdated wares and 20% of just the Naval air superiority can cause severe damage to Iran and kill most of their commanders what do you think a full military might of the navy including all their planes, submarines, carriers and personnel would do to Iran not to talk or when US declares all out war on Iran and the full military wing and arsenal is launched?

The damage US Navy has caused to Iran will take them almost a century to rebuild again because almost everything is being blown out, the brain behind their 4 decades rule have been killed.

One of the dangers of fighting a super power is that you may think because they pulled out you war but what they mostly do is to lay your lands waste and set you 400yrs backwards.

That's what Russia is doing to Ukraine. It will take a century for UK to recover

Look at Vietnam, and Afghanistan. US pulled out but where is vietnam or Afghanistan today?

Even if you win the fight, you will lose the war because 100% the war will be fought in your country causing massive destruction while the super power you are fighting feels nothing, cities in tact, their people feeling nothing while your nation is ruined taken 100yrs backwards.

Wise leaders accept deals and diplomatically build their country until they are strong. A case study of Japan, Germany and Italy should be a framework for leaders and the lessons learnt by ghadafi, Saddam Hussein etc should also be learnt. Do not fight a super power that is stronger than you until you are ready and strong enough.

China stayed low for years until it builds it's military and economy but even at that they are cautious around US

Says a criminal who does not respect the sovereignty of francophone countries.

Na Trump fit these people

Exousiang01:
Not everyone is a tenant in Lagos young man

So if you are not a tenant why are you disputing what is common everywhere?

Exousiang01:
That is an absolute lie and you know it.
That is under a staircase.
A room around yaba should be going for that same rate so, expect the agent took you for a fuul which he seems to be right about then...

You obviously never find house for Lagos before or maybe the last time you looked for house was 5yrs ago

Listening2:
I was in town for some business and it was inevitable that I catch up with an old friend.

His babe prepared a delicious meal that she sent to me through him.

The fact that she's from my state, I had to appreciate her specially. So I asked him for her account and wired her some token of appreciation.

Even though my guy was very appreciative, I've been feeling uneasy, like I shouldn't have done that. And information reaching me right now is that he and his babe had a quarrel that same day. But I don't want to believe it's because of that.

Either way, I just want to know guys, was I wrong to send money directly to his babe?

If they fought over that then your friend is very stupid

I visit my friends home sometimes and when I am going I bless the wife with some cash to show my gratitude.

As a matter of fact I have a Bossom friend that travelled overseas and left his family back, things are not yet settled for him because he is still schooling.

To make life easy for him so he can focus on his goals abroad from to time I send his family some money. Sometimes I tell him how far bro, how U dey hope U dey cope for there. Then I will be like I have small something to send to your family , make them use am guide so the money you don hustle u fit add am pay for your school fees this month and my friend is always grateful.

Sometimes I ask should I send to you and he will say no send to my wife directly make she dey see incase I settle and choose to reward you heavily make she know say U deserve am.

That's me and my friend all the time.

I get like 2m monthly but bro I am not comfortable anything.

I don't live luxury life, I don't dress , I am married with no kid yet, I don't drink or smoke or even keep friends still I am not comfortable, I struggle.

The minimum rent for 2bed in Lagos now cost 2m

Shop rent takes 1.5m.


Transport everyday to work cost me 2-3k

Other bills like Nepa, waste etc I pay double ( in the shop and at home)

I still have to cater for my wife, my mom and other unforseen events and by the time month ends I barely have something to save even with my minimalist lifestyle.

VOsimhen144:
You want to settle down with the love of your life and her family people gave you this bride price list.

What will you do?

This is not real. It's clearly for fun because no tribe is crazy enough to give such list

Lol they clearly don't want Blacks. If you apply as a black they see you as a threat to their race superiority. They don't want you to come and interbred and produce black children.

Try apply and see the swiftness in which they will decline your application but let a white skinned fellow apply they will accept it immediately

My own pastor don japa with his family go US since 2024 and only comes back once in a while may 2 or 3 times yearly and zooms back na for large TV screens we dey watch am and shout Amen

Last time he came back he got himself a tattoo

I think the Christians in America needs salvation more than those in Nigeria as the holy spirit moves better in colder climates
