Death traps every where

MrOjay1:
Last friday evening, my friend in the hood called me on phone to inform me of a job opening in an ongoing construction site somewhere around Agbara (Lagos).

He told me the pay is 2,300 per day depending on if you were able to finish the day's job.

I told him i was interested (no choice for a broke man) and asked him when we are to leave for the place. He said we'll leave for Agbara the next day early in the morning to get there on time and start with others.

'No wahala', I said.

We set off the next morning and got there before 7 or thereabouts. When the supervisor saw me said, 'oboy as you dey lenge lenge (slim) like this, you sure say you go fit do this kind work so??'

I told him i could. Shey no be my mates dey do am?

I started the work which was carrying mixed concrete and sand up into the second floor of the building.

The work no easy o. I wan die true to God but i just chinned up and continued. I worked like this till afternoon.

My body was telling me to stop but i continued being that i wanted my full pay for the day then something happened.

As i was climbing up the scaffolded stairs, my limbs had become weak and my eyes dazed, i had no energy left again to climb up to the second floor so while trying to muster up energy as i climbed, I mis-stepped my footings and was about falling off the stairs down to the ground laden with bamboo, nails, stones and co far below but was saved by the hand of another worker coming up the stairs behind me. He had already noticed my fatigue and signs of faint feeling.

My headpan had already crashed down the ground.

I wonder what would have happened to me. Probably would have died.

The supervisor heard of it and was furious, lambasting me saying,' shebi i tell you say you no fit do this work? Na so you for put me for trouble.Oya dey go house now now, he said as he put his hands in his pocket and brought out 1400 as my payment.

I protested and demanded my full payment but he wasn't listening and was threatening to call the police.

I left the place, went home and used half the money to treat the sprain and pains i was feeling all over my body.

Very funny experience with pains
Sorry about that

The truth is, with regular work on the site, you will get use to it but just don't go back there to even watch what they are doing

You can't really cope
Those people you saw going up and down have been part of the system years before now

It's a job that you are paid and you are judged by your input, if you are lazing about while doing it, you will be warned not to come the next day

If you are a talkative while others are working, you will be warned not to come again because you are distracting others

And if you perform excellently well, you will be praised by the site manager and he will look up to you and sight example of you to others

Funny enough, what you were paid was not even enough to treat you but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have gone

At least you now have an experience

You left banking at the right time and I pray God directs your path

I wish you good luck

This is one of the reasons why I won't marry
I'm I the only one in this??

Whether you are afraid or not

When you marry, two of you will decide whether to adopt or to get a surrogate mother

Just be ready to look after the child and don't say you have phobia for infants

Annwrites:
They are still available.

Your location pls

I can never eat this meat unless it's with a bounty

When you take power and authority from people, they become humble by default

frank800:
c you dey there dey deceive yourself.


can you change your car's spare tire if it becomes necessary

Now I have concluded that you don't have a point

Am done with you

Faithfulnse:
7years? Really? People's decisions are never respected. Now everyone thinks I'm pressured or influenced. Maybe I'm high on something. I still need a husband. Thanks regardless❤

You will definitely get one

Kranediggy:
well said

Thanks

LadySarah:
Very useless advice.

As useless as all the mentions you have been posting on my comments

Why not always create your own comments instead of monitoring mine

TheArchangel:
The most uneducated rambling ever written, no wonder pastors cum conmen are gaining ground in this country.

This lad lost his parents to the consequences of an avoidable and modifiable bad lifestyles.
He should do well to get himself and siblings checked in a reputable health institution to prevent reoccurrence cos believe it or not, there is bound to be reoccurring deaths if there is no lifestyle modification on their part.

You are talking as if their parents are siblings and it runs in their gene

Faithfulnse:
I know all these,you don't know my reasons for wanting to settle down. Thank you regardless.❤

I wish you good luck

I have just realized that women are not worth the chase and investments

They need men more than men need them

I challenge all men doing the reading now to ghost women in their lives for about 1 months and let's see how they cope

Women are overrated

You could have given just one reason or reasons why you think women needs men more

Just name it, let me start my topic with it

If she insist, she can go ahead and live with the man while the marriage is suspended till all doubts are cleared

Do more of counselling than caining

Children of these days are no longer afraid of constact caining

You can as well deprive him or her of favourite things, why you get for the obedient ones

You can still make promises and fulfill it when they achieve a goal

If you must cain, do so when and where necessary and he will feel it because its not regular

Always remind him that the cain needs to be warmed and give him to keep it

CsRockefeller:
There is nothing wrong in her getting married even at 19.

A good marriage isn't a mutually exclusive event. She can get married tomorrow and still be the most powerful woman to ever step foot on earth.

Since you are not married, it will be a good idea to hook her up and you guys will be married at early twenties

By the time you get to 45yrs, you already have graduates

That man is a male prostitute and he has a strong passion for his job

Getting him off his job is like bringing out a fish out of water

He won't survive it

Brandonx:
I didn't mean to disrespect her.
I don't know why you guy's have decided to attack me.

We feel its her privacy and if you hook up to her privately she can open up to you

Somethings are best kept within us due to the way the society places values on people

Faithfulnse:
I'm a single mom of 21,Hard working slim and cute. I want to settle down and need a responsible guy that's ready too.

I think its too early for you to start searching for a husband at this age

Don't make it look as if you are desperate for marriage and that was what made you had your child

I will suggest you train yourself to be a strong woman with vision

Get something reasonable doing

Men will line up to get your approval if you upgrade your present status

You still have less than 7yrs to achieve success that will upgrade you to a better status

Calm down and set your goals going while the search continues in a seemless way

Brandonx:
What happened between you and your baby's dad ?

That's her privacy and pls respect that aspect

agbolahan1991:
My wife just stop breastfeeding our 1n half years old daughter as a result of her pregnancy...she complained about her swollen breast n I told her to see the doctor n she went to a pharmacy ...she was given a drug that contains an ampliclox...I felt bad knowing the effect of ampliclox n its potency ...she didn't tell the pharmacist about her pregnancy
I want to know if my weeks old unborn child is safe please

Pls ohhh, play safe this time with early stage of pregnancy

Her breast is swollen because she stopped breast feeding and it will get better and she will pass the delayed breast milk through urine

But best option is for her to go to hospital and see a doctor who will advise her better considering her present pregnancy

Don't come here to tell us any pity story from an avoidable mistake

Nooil:
Both of them are unproduçtive. They should go and learn how to make money.

So the one the man is making is paper

UjuJoan2:
So you don't know that even the best protections sometimes fail?

In any case, did she get married to feed the whole family?

What if what she wants is to have all the children she needs now while she can, so she can face other things? Or does she not have the right to make such a decision because she is not feeding her family?

Is that even supposed to be her problem?

If the man really didn't want any more children, he should have taken it upon himself to make sure she didn't get pregnant by using protection. He is paying for his complacency.

You have said what you think it should be

When you get in to family ways, you will understand better

No one said she should feed the family

If she doesn't have the sense of supporting her husband, let her not feel bad if the husband doesn't support her

Alright, thanks

Nooil:
A man, a full-blooded man, is working as a civil servant. Do you know how irritating that is? Yet, he doesn't even have a big supporting business, he is doing backyard farming.

I'm sure the IT he is referring to is photocopying and scanning. Because if it was real IT, he will ask his wife to become a full housewife.

Yet, he has the effrontery to call someone unproductive.

I don't understand what you are trying to explain here

VLTA:
The OP is talking about the woman in the family here and not the man, and you are opining he threatens her with separation? No na.

Even the biblical injunction concerning taking responsibilities for a home rests upon the shoulders of the man. I am not encouraging her being lazy at all, but he's taking it too far.

The man can look for a space for her where he is working or take her CV and help in applying for jobs on her behalf if she isn't doing well in business. She is his wife, a part of him and his responsibility.

The word you regard as separation was used as a threat if she becomes pregnant again, considering their financial situation at the moment

Did you read where the op said that, she purposely took in

betterbest:
She'll drain his energy. That's how she was raised. She can't hustle or sustain business. She's better left alone. Believe me, those set of women are the most ungrateful.

Lol
Honestly you have really explained the true picture

Shellsploit:
Go and modify that rubbish you posted before Catholican's swear for you!

Nonsense..

Don't mind that devil's advocate
