verybadmouth: Sincerely. I would have loved a Wike Presidency. That man no dey take shit. Peter Obi abi wetin Dem dey call day one is too weak to lead. Na him followers they give am strength.
1. Well you don't know Peter Obi There's a reason he's called Okwute(rock) in Anambra.
Travicon: Hello Nairalanders, I will try as much as possible to make the write-up short.
I am a 21years old guy at a Russian university with two Nigerian roommates (In the hostel though). We averagely get the same amount of money as an allowance monthly, but mine always finishes first.
I don't spend unnecessarily on myself, and we cook together. I discovered after two months of staying together that they care less about buying things that we generally use in the room. For instance, I always buy food season, detergents, and cooking oil (quite expensive).
I cook most of the time. Anytime I decide not to cook, we always go hungry and I can't cope with that. This has made my cash always run out faster and I can't stop them from eating my food or using the things I buy.
There was a time also I lend the last money with me (100k in naira) to my best friend then in Nigeria because he claimed his dad was sick and promised to repay by month-end. I didn't have anything to take me through the remaining days of the month but I gave it out because he was a close friend. Month-end, I couldn't get money from my sponsor because of some issues. I contacted my guy but he stopped replying to me on WhatsApp. I managed to get 20k but the rest is probably history now.
Whenever people talk about their problems, I always feel for them to the extent of giving out my money even if it's the last cash on me. I have never had a girlfriend, but I don't always have the strength to reject if a girl asks for airtime or money from me (including my mum and sisters though)
I always try to go to any length to see people happy even if it means borrowing money from another person for them. I'm that foolish. Generally, I'm too soft-hearted and nice but I don't know how to solve this problem. Someone advised me I should get a girlfriend who should always be angry with me if I'm being too nice to people and that will help me solve the problem to some extent but I think it won't.
I'm not from a rich family, not even from an average family. I'm even from a polygamous home so I know what it means to have suffered as a Nigerian. I was on the street and I guess that's what is making me this weak emotionally. I'm a simp all-around in my life and relationship with people. People are always cheating on me, taking advantage of who I am.
I NEED genuine HELP, please.
Some people were created to be good. I don't think you should change to being mean.
However, you need to adjust how you relate to people and yourself. First, invest in yourself with the little you have. Do what will give you extra money. You'll definitely need that.
Second, create an event that'll determine your relationship with those your roommates and others especially so called friends. Start by telling them to contribute towards feeding and other expenses. Make the request plain! Should they refuse, that means everyone should answer his surname. Find a way to move out and stay on your own. As for your friends, try to request money from them, this act will separate you from most of them.
Finally be yourself and don't give yourself to people. I don't mean you shouldn't interact. Only offer what you can lose.
I'm in your shoes but God is helping me skip those people who'll love to drain you but safeguard their resources. I don't refrain from lending out small sums if I have because if you refuse to pay back, that's it. You'll naturally cut yourself out of me to my advantage.
ObidientFC: Okay, so last year I started dating this lady. My goal was to keep it going and wed her. However, I stopped being interested in her a short time after we began dating.
I wasn't ready for sex at that hour. I first sought to establish friendships. She came to my house on a Saturday, and the following week on a Tuesday, she declared out loud that we were going to have sex. I was stunned. We had sex the following day, yea it was enjoyable, but my emotions for her faded off. Somethings I don't like about her. She talks Alot, loves sex (omoh I don tire), she doenst really relate at the same level with me. Kind of different cognition. But above all, she is a sweet girl that cares for me . Very trustworthy and can do anything to make me happy. She always want to be around me and hide nothing from me including her phone (Though I don't even go dia self) But truth is I am not catching all these feelings she is sending my way anymore . I don't see her in my long time plan. I have tried to stay and see if I can finally develope that feelings for her, but it is not working . I have voiced it out to her and try to make her understand that relationship isn't my thing now, but babe ain't taking it. I have tried leaving the relationship, but there is an issue . She is been sick for some time now. (Ulcer) .Whenever she is around me, she doenst complain of any sickness, but once she get to her family house, sickness starts . I have waited for her to get healed so I can walk away. Last month, I decided to end it. After like one week, she called and started complaining how I left her when she needed me and how she has resorted to taking anti depressants. She is still sick and it pains me that she is going through this sickness because she is a good girl. I invited her over so I can keep her company. She came with so much drugs . The moment we started talking , I could see how happy and fine she felt. She ended up staying in my house for two days and it was all sex and sex . She went back and the sickness got worst. She has called that she want to come over and stay as she feel better around me . I have tuned her down with some excuses . Her birthday is next week and she has told me she is coming, I have given her another excuse. Honestly I am tired . I am not finding this whole thing interesting and want to end it but at the same time, this sickness is the issue . How do I handle this
The issue is if she's really good. Why not recondition your heart to love her. You know her better than we do.
Believe me, you'll still hate the opposite of her.
If you see a clingy girl that's faithful and sincere, keep her. They're rare specs!
Reasons why people use Task killers and RAM boosters (personal story)
At any point between 2015 and 2018, you would always find them on my device. I never joked with them.
They were top 10 on my list of most used apps, if not top 2, second only to pocketbooks.
This is because I started out using an Android with 512MB RAM and boy, there was never any space to do anything.
I also learned quite early that running apps were saved to RAM so it made sense to me to keep the RAM free if I wanted to use my favorite apps.
That was when I learnt about task killers and RAM boosters.
Their job was simple. Wipe out every task in the RAM to create RAM space. They could also by extension, restrict background app usage.
I won’t lie, they did serve their purpose albeit slightly, but they did.
While games like Dream League or NOVA legacy were coded to use a decent amount of memory, PUBG and PES (now eFootball) were memory hogs. Another deceptive memory consumer is Sim city. I love Sim city but that game consumes a lot of system resources.
So, if you have used or are currently using a 2GB RAM phone, you would understand how slow and unresponsive it becomes when the RAM gets filled up.
The painful part is when apps suddenly get force closed and the phone sends you back to the home screen or worse. It just reboots and restarts.
I cannot count how many PES matches I lost due to this low memory problem. PUBG was kinder because if I logged back in quickly enough, I would be able to resume from where I left off.
At times, the RAM would be so occupied that I’ll have to power the phone off to wipe the RAM and then use my RAM boosters to sweep it clean before I can start a game.
Low memory issues are big pain. I know that money is hard right now but I’ll never advice anyone to get a 2GB RAM device. Just get 3GB or 4GB if you can.
So yeah, I’m sure that I was not the only one who used RAM boosters. Lots of people did and still do.
I had to recently, forcefully uninstall RAM boosters from a friend’s phone. She upgraded from Tecno Spark 2 to RN9S and still kept it ���.
I was like aunty, your phone is 6GB RAM. You will not run out of memory. Please let me uninstall this thing.
Lots of people have been traumatized by low space. It’s no joke.
Why task killers and RAM boosters are a scam
But I’m here to tell you that task killers and RAM boosters are useless and may even be harmful to your smartphone.
Yes. I’ll explain.
Now the reason I gave that sermon was to let you know that I have used RAM boosters myself and I can understand why people think that they work.
In reality, they don’t. They are just a placebo.
When you activate a RAM booster, does clear all your apps from RAM?
Yes. It does.
Does the RAM stay free? Absolutely not. The OS simply pre-loads the apps back into the RAM again and we’re back to zero.
Right back where we started.
No matter how much you clear your RAM with a RAM boosters/task killer, the space won’t stay free.
Android most of the time, considers a lot free ram as wasted RAM so it will preload apps into it.
This is where it gets worse.
The more you clear your RAM, the more the system reloads the cleared apps. This process isn’t free. It costs CPU bandwidth and battery. These are two very important system resources.
See: What are system resources?
This will cause your battery to drain faster, making you charge it more and ultimately causing it to age quicker.
Instead of freeing up RAM, RAM boosters themselves occupy RAM space and persist in RAM. This serves to make the low memory problem even worse.
Another danger is that since the CPUs/OS have to preload apps, you’ll be forcing the CPU to go and read the inbuilt storage to fetch apps and keep in the RAM.
This increased number of reads and writes from storage to RAM could shorten the life of both hardwares.
RAM boosters may sometimes kick important system tasks out of RAM which may cause the system to crash or fail completely, sending your phone into a series of bootloops.
I’ll never forget my first bootloop. I almost cried mehn. ���
Anyway, we move lol. ���
So while RAM boosters/task killers may carve out a small space for you momentarily, the OS will soon reclaim them wasting very precious system resources.
RAM boosters are not only useless in the long term but sometimes, they can be dangerous.
What should you do?
Today, you should not have to worry about managing your RAM because Android is designed to actually do it for you.
I have been preaching RAM management here for the last two months I think.
See: What is RAM management?
Android can manage RAM well so that you don’t have to worry about it.
See: How does Android manage RAM?
Also as a user, know thyself.
I cannot go and buy a 3GB RAM device because I’ll be punishing myself. I am a heavy user and multitasker. I do not currently have a laptop so I shoot and edit videos out of my phone.
I manage this blog and telegram, Facebook, Reddit, Quora out of this phone. I type blog posts on it.
Anything less may not support my use.
I see people who game looking for 2GB phones and trying to carve memory out to play.
Please don’t do that to yourself. People who multitask like me are also on this table.
Your CPU needs a lot of RAM space to store big apps. It also needs a lot of space to multitask.
Check yourself and make better smartphone decisions.
Not forgetting the stupid forced ads it comes along with. Using these transsion phones with their junk ads is like living in Nigeria. Very frustrating!
gammarays1: So far made $2 in 2 days which meets my personal target of 600 naira daily. Posted the procedure in the group which includes how to withdraw.
Will post screenshot whenever it reflects in my wallet.
Here's the screenshot of the $2 withdrawal which is worth 1200 naira.
NOETHNICITY: Please house, I use God almighty to beg una. I need urgent and sincere advice here please. Because I might make a terrible decision soon.
I've a family of 3kids, the eldest is 5 and the youngest will be 2 next month. My wife's younger sister lives with us. One the first of this month, I gave my wife 80k for for food in the house. Please take note, that that money does not include provisions, like milk and milo and drinking water. At the end of every month, I spend about 30k stocking the house with all the provisions and things like all the soap we are gonna need for the month. In addition to this, I am responsible for making sure that a bag of rice is always available at all times. And also most days I don't eat breakfast before leaving the house. So I end up eating just dinner at home. My wife just told my this morning that the feeding money is exhausted
Please I want advise, I use God beg una
Edited! Note that in addition to all this, I buy bread for the house every 2days because my kids take tea as breakfast every morning. I also give my wife's sister 10k every month for her recharge car. And some weekends I buy things like chicken, fish and turkey just to augment and make the family happy. Daily I spend on average 1k buying fruits for house. Yet 80k is not enough
Good to learn from someone's experience. However, I'll advise you to do the following. 1. Since you're bearing 100% financial burden of your family, I suggest you find another source of income that'll be covering all or part of your home monthly expenses. Do this early before it becomes late. You've already set a high standard of expenses in your family and there'll be chaos if your source of income takes a hit. 2. I suspect your wife has same high expenses so she may spend on other stuffs. If she doesn't have any source of income, sort this out. 3. You need to enforce some rules i.e. tell her to make a budget for monthly expenses, negotiate and insist she sticks to the budget. 4. Never bring yourself to going to market to purchase things yourself. Don't add another stress to the one you're bearing already. Man's duty is to provide finance and direct the family while the woman manages the family i.e. taking care of the family with the money provided by the man.
You're really trying, so many families here live below the budget and expenses you provide.
Geovanni412: I know you meant well with this advice but now is not the time to use trx for anything. It might go the luna way . See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--HgmD_cdzg. He should try using xlm, algo or ltc to withdraw.
Since its something he wants to withdraw or convert to naira, don't think it'll crash like that in minutes.
Crypto don turn the more you look, the less you see.
moshuur: so d minimum amount of usdt person fit withdraw from Gate na 50 usdt. Omoh my 10$ just dey inside, I no fit comot am. oga oooo...., I no fit withdraw my own money
Convert to Tron and withdraw. Binance is $10 USDT minimum
