stop lying without proofs.

You make phone call for 10 minutes which cost the caller about 100 naira. The recipient pays nothing. When you make internet call, you use about 50mb and the recipient use about 50mb for the same time. If the cost of 50mb is 50 Naira, both the caller and the recipient will pay a total sum of 100 naira. And stop calling people liars on the internet. It does not speak well of you

Crystalom3:
I think it'll be more cost efficient for everyone to switch to internet calls.

They are less expensive and for the most part more stable than regular phone calls.

Internet calls of 30 minutes cost less than N50 while video calls of the same length cost less than N100.

Regular phone calls cost twice as much. For N100 you might not think much about it but instead of spending N1k you are spending N2k and instead of N10k recharge, you are spending N20k on the average.

Internet calls not only is cheaper but will solve the problem of double recharge. Nowadays we spend more to buy data. After that, we still recharge for regular airtime to use for phone calls.

Internet calls cuts that cost by almost 90%.

I think it's better if we can adopt this as a trend and use regular phone calls for emergencies.

The cost is the same. The difference is that the bill is split into two in internet call

There is sth I don't understand about Nigeria. Why is that when one thing happens at a certain time, it will become ubiquitous in no distant time?

If it were fashion, it will be understandable that its trend will be inevitable. But collapsing buildings? Mehn.

That is when people instinct to share such information increase. That is when nl mod push them to front page

All of my friends one one million Naira. They said we are NL gang. If you don't send your own. You out of here. You are gone (sic).”.
If you need my account number, no hesitate to ask

Romanoff:
You will still serve her breakfast.

Abi?
Una go say Nigerian girls no sabi love, this one done love you sotey she done turn Robin hood, thieving from her privileged mum to give to you the less privileged, you still come here dey complain.

Which advice you dey find gan gan?

If you no want make she dey thief give you, tell her make she stop na.

That shows many men have conscience

Have donwloaded it. More than 300 pages

You are not married so sex is not your right. But I can see the fault may be coming from you. Because you have her in your room, those little things you use to do that addeɗ spark to the relationship may be gone. When was the last time you told her how beautiful her body is and how much you love it. It is not plug and play. It is more about two people connecting.
Also, don't ignore red flag. For some making comments like is it sex you want, don't mind them. Sex is very important in marriage. You have to know now how it will be in future to determine if you should go along or not. It is small things like these that end many marriages. But pls try seduce her and not force

It was a mistake and i don't know how two thread came about. Maybe this forum should incorporate a delete thread button

But this link is not going through

Sahara reporter is fond of doing this. Deleting publication. Is it is a crime to focus on fact finding before publication or what. I don't think it was pulled down because the law ask them to. But because they know they are at fault. This was the same thing they did when they discovered that the post against Ngozi Okonjo did not go well with people

Supreme145:
I commented on a thread yesterday that was about how much that can last someone through the week, I posted that I can manage 3k for a week and I was literary dragged and trolled through the thread. Some accused me of lying while some said I still live with my parents, others saw my post as a scheme to accrue favour from people.

I never wanted to open a thread about this, but as God would have it, he blessed me ( Not from that thread) through Nairaland best roofer and known philanthropist @ money121 and @despian that sent me something to help with my school project. I managed to squeeze out a little money and branch to the market to get some food stuffs. Below is a detail of how I spent 3k on food stuffs that would last me a week.

Rice 1 mudu(8 cups) : #600
Beans 1 mudu(8 cups) : #900
Potato : #500
1/2 bottle of palm oil : #400( I add just enough to colour the food)
1 packet of maggi : #250
Powder pepper :#100
Onions :#100
Airtime :#100
Total :#2950
The remaining #50 is for Chelsea match later in the evening.

While I didn't make this post to glorify poverty but it seems some people are oblivious to the situation of things in the country at the moment. Apparently the hardship levels is skewed, based on the values that people were quoting on that thread. While some food stuffs are at a premium at the moment, there are some of us that cut our suit according to our ankara.

Next is how I manage the foodstuff to last me a week in no particular order.

Day one: Rice and beans
Day two: beans and potatoes
Day three: only Rice
Day four: porridge potatoes
Day five : only beans
Day six: Rice and beans
Day seven: potatoes and oil
Fortunately the stomach does not disclose its contents.

I iterate through the list during the week, I spend only #100 on airtime during the week. I don't call any body and spend #25 daily for 250 mb night sub which I use to apply for jobs. I wait for the following week when it gets exhausted.
I use salt as makeshift paste and patronize Hausa black soap for bathing.
I've my faze cap to conceal my overgrown hair, though my lord luggard esque moustache have a way of bringing my legs outside.
I fetch well water, boil and sieve it, in that way home made Eva water is set, who knows I might own a pure water factory in future so I'm practicing now.

Added plus: My Girlfriend
It's a popular opinion on nairaland and the country in general that most Nigerian girls are useless and are out to bring nothing but misfortune and misery to our lives. I beg to disagree because the ones around me (mom, siblings and gf) are anything but useless.

My current girlfriend is a frugal spender and taught me how to spend prudently. She taught me how to cook thereby cutting the amount I spend on food to a significant level. I can give her just #1500 and she would prepare two pots of stew and soup to last me a week. Like my Oga @chatinet would say there are still women that can go to the market with 3k and come back with two nylons.

While other nairalanders open thread open threads about their parasitic girlfriends, mine is actually helping me through a difficult phase in my life.
Sadly despite my pitiful standard of living, I still have people that I'm better than and see me as a senior man. Its that bad.

I'm not comfortable with my condition so I'm looking for jobs so as to improve my standard of living. My fellow nairalanders help me to start eating with meat by offering my any job available. I'm a graduate of Statistics/Computer Science (bsc ed) and a web developer.

So the doubting Thomas's here's a breakdown of my 3k weekly spending.

Modified: Obviously some people are still doubting my credibility. I stay in north bank, Makurdi Benue State for those asking.

This list is not complete na. No gas or kerosene
No transport to anywhere at all
No drugs for basic things like headache and malaria
No shoe or shirt or boxer abi you dey naked

Idamond:
Good Nairalanders!

Don't mind my typo terminologies


I don't know if there's anyone facing these some thing..

You are not alone. We are here with you. Though you are far away. We are all in this together.
Well it seems you are just like me. But I will tell you some of my story and how I got it all.
I grew up with my father and mother. My father very soft hearted and caring and kind and will rather inconvenient himself and help someone else. My mother all the other hand don't give a hoot who you are as long as she's comfortable. She only gives you from her excess.
Unfortunately I grew up copying my father but I had to learn the hard way. There are so many stories but I will focus on only one. There is this friend of mine that we do hang out together. He is full of complain. You will never hear him telling a happy story about himself. His target is to get pity and mercy from me. As kind as I am I have to help anytime and anyhow I can. He can just walk into my house eat my food ask me for money and I will give. Although I am not doing well myself and we are both students in the university.
Under my very nose this guy was buying gadgets. and anytime I visit him in his house I will be still be the one that will buy what will we cook. The scale fell off my eyes the very week I gave him money and he bought a car as a student. I was happy for him but I felt used.
Since then I became hardened. Most of the people that are asking for money have more than you and they know it. But they know your weakness and they're ready to exploit it and use it to their advantage. They don't love you and don't care how you Will survive or what you will eat. All they care about is there personal self.
Let me tell you something. Do you know how to play the minds game. If you say no they will Label you stingy and wicked. If that gets into your head you will keep helping even at your own detriment. Let's the words of people never bother you or shape how you look at yourself. Everybody have to work for their money and buy their needs. Whoever exceeds that and start looking for money to fend for themselves should not disturb friends. Take note I did not include relations. Take note also that there are times that I have been broke and needed a favour from a friend. But what I always demand for is what I know they can afford and I will always pay back and not dash. These are just a few words I have for you

Candidlady:
Took my time to go through the post and guess what? Yeah the were all males!

guess again who burstd "em? A she!

god please divide this world! Male world and female world! Make we see who go suffer

irest my briefCASE the thing don too heavy

modified:- i dedicate this ftc to all females out there, we won't end with this year ijn

I don't know what you are defending. I dislike comments like this. You mean the stolen funds will not get you at the end of the day or what. Or you forgot most females will go hungry without a guy to disturb for urgent 1k

macjireh:
u are supposed to open a dollar account to receive such funds

That was a dollar account

Seeeker:
I don't know what to call this... I tendered a resignation letter with 3 weeks notice despite that no notice clause is contained in my appointment letter.

They just collected the letter and said nothing. When the resignation became effective, I left the company and they still didn't tell me anything about handing over to someone else as is the practice there in case of sack.

It's been a month I left and they still didn't contact me about handing over. My concern is that they didn't remit a Kobo into my pension account. Why I'm expecting them to ask me to hand over is that I have in my custody about 5k belonging to the company. I didn't borrow the money. It was kind of something left in my care.

So, if they later ask me to come and do proper handing over, should I ask them about my pension? Some people sacked in the past said their pension was not remitted too.

You have broken fedeal labor law. Resignation is a month notice in Nigeria not 3 weeks. It is USA that uses 2 weeks. They can use that against you

lekonso:
They call that wisdom not lie. An example of it is in the bible, where Abraham lied that Sarah was his sister and not his wife in order to avoid being killed in Egypt.

Abraham never said Sarah was not his wife. He it said Sarah is his sister which was true. Such lies are called twisted truth

siofra:
There's this yahoo boy that has been disturbing me to go to his hotel room. He's a course mate. God knows how many times I've turned him down. I'm tired. So I want to tell him I have a vaginal infection that could be sexually transmitted.
Is it okay to tell him this?
Is this lie going to bite me back somehow?

He will insist on condom or offer to treat you. That is not the best way to tell off a guy. Except you are benefiting financially, bros, no talk to me again. But the power of money

When he asked “What Happened”, what answers was he really expecting??

How he survived

GboyegaD:
Still trying to understand how this happened.

Very simple. The tree had branches that made the centre of gravity to rise. The weight became too much. The tree had to fall naturally.
After cutting off the weight that increase the centre of gravity, the tree whose root is still firmly on the ground bounce back into its stand. If left in the position, there is a strong possibility it will rise again

Handsomejok:
I have a big problem � I separated with my wife because she was a witch and the cause of my downfall. I had the custody of our daughter who is now 1 years 6 months old.

After getting rid of the witch I taught my business will be better than before but no. Things become even hard for me I started experiencing body pain and unknown sickness and we have been to church where I was told my daughter Is a witch her mother has given her the mission to kill me.

After prayers and fasting my health is getting better now and I have been to 2 different churches just to confirm that my daughter is a witch and yes it is true. I have packed her stuffs and i took her to her mother but she is doesn't stay there anymore and I don't know her new address. I am not a wicked person but I don't want her in my house because I don't want to harm her and regret it. What do I have to do with a witch?

Your problem is religion. All the different church you are going to are ready to milk money from you until you go get sense

Why is it that they don't allow people to serve themselves once the pot of soup is involved... But if it's beans or rice, you are allowed to serve yourself..

Is it the meat they are protecting??

That is where stealing starts for kids

Hi nairalanders
Please I really need your help I know this is not the right section for this but I really need your helps I'm in a big pain I don't know what's this disease is all about I will go straight to the point please forget about the write up and my English

I'm having a stubborn injury in my hand for more than one month now it started from a tiny pox and I scratched it and it started swallowing up and the surrounding is very thick I have been to the hospital for more than two time they keep on prescribing same drugs I'm really tired please I need help please I have taken alot of drugs including concoction still I don't see any improvement please help me if you have any idea

NB:I feel pain, itching and it keeps expanding and the surrounding is very thick

God will bless you all for your suggestions

You did not say what the hospital diagnosis was and how they came about it. It means any suggestions will mean you start all 9ver again. First of all, you need to run a test to determine the infection and sensitivity. From the way I see it, it looks like a mix infection from fungal and bacterial. However, it may have been triggered by scabies not rabbies o

Everybody is confused as to this dollar thing

Let me not use harsh words in you. You don't need to have somebody in Canada to migrate there. There is nowhere in the world Nigerians don't reside. Start your search of where to land and who will accommodate you for the first 9ne month. Search social media for groups in Canada like Nigerians living in Canada in Facebook, twitter, Reddit, Quora, etc. You will see many people willing to accommodate you. From there, you find a job
