But when a white man smashes champagne on the haul of a ship before it first sail, it's not superstition.

Right?

DeLaRue:
Hmm...it's a little complicated.

Even after her brother offered to put in N3.5m, your wife could have told him, that's very nice of you. I will discuss it with my husband and get back to you since he's the one providing the N1.5m balance.

It's just a respect thing.

But that didn't happen so the next best thing is for your wife to ask his brother to call you and discuss the purchase.

Again, that'll be a subtle way for your wife to send a message to her brother that her husband's participation in the decision to buy the car is necessary.

You calling your brother in law is not the right thing to do.

Tell your wife to ask his brother to call you.

If he calls, thank and appreciate him, and inform him you will give your wife the N1.5m to add to the purchase price.

If he refuses to call, then clearly your wife should not continue with the purchase.

You need to assert authority in a sensible, and considerate manner.

You sound like a gentleman and I appreciate you want the best for your wife. But certain things must be done.

DO NOT CALL THE GUY. YOU WILL LOSE RESPECT.
Best advice so far..
OP, follow this gentleman advise.

Hon. Minister, is it possible to pass the border without human contact? Because those shameless immigration forcefully collect money to stamp your passport to go out and even enter your own country.

In fact, all the agencies at the border collect money from Nigerians and even Africans.

Is it also possible to rearrange the clearance of containers at the ports and borders? Because the agent use this opportunity to exploit importers which results to inflation.

They will never allow you to know the real fee of the shipping company, terminal and custom clearance because importers are not allowed to generate the invoice by themselves except through the agent.

I will advise that it be mandated that invoice must be sent to owners directly through email and owners should pay directly into the government account with the name the importer used to import into Nigeria.

That will reduce inflation because some agent with the collaboration of customs wants to make between 1.5m - 2m naira on importation of just one car alone besides others fees.

The owners of these cars wouldn't want to loose money hence add the agent 2m, other fees and his own profits on the vehicle making it extremely expensive. This is where inflation is also coming from.

Owners must be involved in direct payment of imported goods. Assigning this to agent tantamount to being exploited.

Hon minister of Interior, you can do it, sir.

I know this answer but i don't know how do the workings to get the answer. So far, none of my workings have been able to lead me to the correct answer.
Please can any one show me the workings?

Naira Marley must dedicate a whole track to MohBad's father for his honesty

If Not for Mohbad's father's honest testimony, Naira Marley won't escape jail

You don't need any of those. Here is my advise which won't cost you much.

Forget about going to Lagos. Stay where you are if it would help you keep expense at the barest minimum. If you are not computer literate then go and register and learn all the basics, this won't cost you more than 20k.

Afterwards, go and learn a digital skill then get a laptop and venture into freelancing.

All your expenses won't be more than 300-400K.

DON'T MOVE ANYWHERE WITHOUT A SOLID ROADMAP.

LagosG:
Nigerians are very strong. Many of our average daily experiences would require serious therapy sessions in the abroad. I've never spoken about this to anyone. Only my family members know this. I'll make this very brief.


A couple of years ago when the Lagos State government banned the use of Okadas and Keke Maruwas, a lot of motorists used the opportunity to cash in by using their personal cars to convey people to offset their fuel bills. More prevalent were the use of private Toyota Siennas as modes of public transport.
On this Sunday, I didn't go to church. At about 10 am, I decided to use the ATM around Allen for the day's cash and also to withdraw the school fees of my little cousin for the new term. Normally, a bank to bank transfer would have sufficed but you know some of these Lagos schools, they prefer actual bank tellers from cash deposits because some of the bills go to different accounts such as PTA and some extracurricular activities. I withdrew a total of 120k with the intention of giving my sister 95k to go pay the school fees the next morning. I withdrew at the GTBank at Allen and crossed the road to get Keke back home. Normally, during the week, the kekes were off the road but being a Sunday and the enforcement officers were enjoying their weekend, so most kekes used the opportunity to hustle. I used one to get to the bank earlier. Soon as I crossed the road, a Sienna pulled up and since they were being used everywhere I didn't suspect a thing. There was a woman by the driver and two guys occupying the immediate two seats behind the driver forcing me to retreat to the back of the bus. They used the woman to bait me. We hadn't reached Oshopey Plaza when one of the guys flashed me a gun and told me to lie down in the space between the both other them. They searched me and took the cash and ATM. (I hadn't taken my phone with me since my house was just a 3 minute Keke ride to the ATM.) Then they knocked me out. I woke up alone in a room and realised it was night already. I began sweating profusely. I checked out the window but I couldn't see anything outside. The window was very dusty from the outside. I'm telling myself "LagosG, you're f******. You're dead!" After a bit, drowning in anxiety, someone came in. He wasn't part of the crew I saw earlier. He said "you don wake abi? You dey sleep o! I think say you don die. If na North dem go don bury you." The time was almost 1am. I was out for more than 12 hours. They took me out to the Sienna again. The house was abandoned and without fence. There was no way for me to know where I was even as Lagos wakawaka boy wey I be. I was going through wild disorientation. These bastards drove me to 4 different ATMs and had me withdraw another 150k which is my withdrawal limit. They didn't ask me to transfer. They were smart. I tried hard to see if I could recognise the area around the banks. but I couldn't because I was laying on the ground in the bus while thy were driving around as they told me to when I was first abducted. After the last withdrawal, I had less than 3k left in my aza. They broke my ATM and kept driving for what seemed like forever. I just kept thinking the worst. What would my family be going through? Yoruba people say a dead child is better than a lost one. This would tear my family apart. I figured we must be on an expressway because the speed was much and they barely used the brakes. After what seemed like forever, the bus began to slow down. The woman was no longer with them and they spoke in a different variation of Yoruba so I didn't understand anything they had been saying the whole time which fuelled my justified paranoia. I saw the the door slide open while the bus was in motion. The guy by the door stood up over me, dragged me and flung me out. It was dawn around past 5am. I saw bush left and right. I was bleeding from my lips, elbows and knees from the fall. I flagged down cars but nobody stopped. I kept walking for about 10 minutes then I saw what looked like women carrying firewood. I ran to them and asked them where I was. My people, they answered that I was at Sagamu!!! They directed me to the police station and said that's how these abductors usually drop people off at that same point. Apparently, the women usually go into the bush to harvest wood used for herbs early in the morning and had witnessed such before.
I walked al the way to the police station with a bloodied shirt and dusty shorts with slippers. Soon as I got to the counter and narrated my ordeal, the said the DPO wasn't there yet and the next thing these people did was lock me up with criminals to wait for the DPO. The ordeal at the station is another story for another day. Long story short, around 9am, after narrating to the DPO too, they called my mother and she had to drive down to Shagamu to literally bail me.

I know I didn't have it as bad as some other people but the anxiety I experienced after was so much. Whenever I saw a Sienna, my heart would skip. I still don't trust people who drive it till today.
Share yours or the one of someone close to you

Until container falls on you in Lagos😅😅

Thanks, Sir. People have not really moved into the area yet. Maybe because the place lacks electricity at the moment. There is no one living close to the place. There is a candle factory about 300 meters away, and another property which is inhabited about 600 meters to the left. All the other lands around have been cleared, but barren of buildings, or have been purchased with no structures on them ( Bush ).
