This one na Squid Game candidate. Be like you never sabi the situation wey u dey, na him make you still de talk "I don't think I am yet addicted to betting." Still in denial. The first step to recovery is acknowledging the problem, not deceiving yourself, then you go from there.

1sherlockHolmes:
I don't think I am yet addicted to betting. I started sport betting last year september when i was doing nysc. it was introduced to me by a fellow corper that time i have 200k in my account raised from the 33k alawee in just three month i lost it all.

I stopped betting and move on with my post nysc life when an idea came to my mind which is borrow from loan app and stake on 2odd if you win take your profit and repay the loan. without hesitation i decided to give it a try, but whenever i borrow and stake the game cut but when i play with my little money i win. Because of this now I'm in huge debt more than 5 apps are waiting for my loan repayment while I'm still jobless.

I really need help I think I'm posessed or someone cast a spell on me. Anyway i have decide to break my sim card block my atm and stop betting.

May god help me. #stay away from bet9ja #sportybet and #1xbet they r destiny destroyer.

Ah, well... Too bad. You might need to make that trip to the stadium tho. Most times during these festivals, Niggas will be from Calabar trying to compete for delta state, because na them de pay their athlete well or they don't really have athletic representative in the chosen sports, so there's enough bar to pay the few that are willing to represent. Them, Edo, and some northern states like that.

Promise47:
I'm currently in Delta state I'm not in Lagos there is a studium here but it's far from my place

I lost contact with my coach in Calabar. Coach Abbe. But like I said, go to your stadium in whichever state. You're even Lagos based, that's where all the connect are supposedly. Find the boxing coach and display ur skills, they will enroll you for this year's national sports festival. Or u go Calabar u.j. esuene stadium go find coach Abbe, he is always looking for his next champion, especially super heavyweight. But anything you win, him share de inside, just know that. He go tell u say he no de shame to ask for money, even 10 times.

Be like your confidence high, you say u fit win 3 gold, no worry, u go reach there show urself. It's either you show yourself or you collect KO

Promise47:
Okay do u know of any body that can take me to this national sport festival I can win 3 gold medal or national championship

The best investments usually are on yourself.

So, buy a laptop and a digital based skill for you and your brother, maybe from Udemy, perhaps email marketing or UI/UX.

The reason for this is the world is going to merge with the metaverse soon, so u need something u can pitch as value to another person in exchange for money. In order not to be constrained by your geographic location, you need to be able to offer this value online.

Next, take some money and upgrade your wardrobe. I don't mean buy amiri or ashluxe or those tear tear jeans wey dem draw gun or flower on top. With palm slippers wey u go begin resemble who efcc de find. You can still get those if that's your style and your wish, but for real, just get a few decent mature stuff. Some suits, and definitely some shoes and good perfume. I've learnt that packaging goes a long way in this life, it at least gets you to the front door of where you want to be, to get inside the house however, will require other attributes.
Also, invest in a good gym or better yet assemble some gym equipment at home. Nothing much, just basic weights.
To some reading, this may sound useless but again, I implore you to read the first sentence of this response. If you won't even invest in yourself, how likely is it that others will want to invest in you. Health-wise, I don't need to justify the gym expenditure for you. You've heard it while growing up that health is wealth. Also if you remember how dem do laykon of bbn because if him body u may understand better.

Two, something fit happen, u lose all that money without ever having the chance to do something good for yourself. Na just regret u go de regret.

The budget for all that,I will leave to op's discretion, all that self care spending can get addictive easily, just don't be foolish about it.

Finally, there should still be some millions left, take it and buy USDT. The digital version of the dollar in the crypto world. Once acquired, put it in locked staking, if u are using binance. It's like the crypto version of fixed deposit. Or if you are feeling courageous, you can buy some trusted coins like (Ethereum, Solana, Luna, Btc, Ftm) (this is not financial advice), now that we are in a dip and prices have fallen, coins are cheaper. Buy and don't be panicking and checking everyday to see if your money is decreasing. Don't sell until the prices are back up and are higher than the point at which u bought. Whatever year it may be. You're holding for the long term.

The reason for this is even if you put it in traditional banks fixed deposit, your interest will not be meaningful. Their interest rates are not really eye popping, u fit leave the 8m for 3 years for bank na only 8k u go come see as interest on top after the 3 years. And the naira value may fall even further in those three years, making your 8 million less powerful than if you had spent it today. Bread fit be 100k next year, use that as an example.
If you decide to buy land, it's good but your focus should be on reselling it as land always appreciates in value. If you decide to build, you will need way more than that 8million, if you doubt me go check price of iron rod today or dangote cement. Let's say you miraculously manage to develop it, you might not see you money back till you first child's 28th birthday. Because 1, you might not find tenants, 2 you may find tenants they don't want to pay the price you need to recover your money soon, some won't even pay you the rent and will damage the property, they'll then take advantage of the law and be dragging you to court. As time passed, the only person winning is the lawyer who is billing you every time he appears in court for your case and some of the judges too. Maybe you are lucky and the case is settled after like 2 years. You won, but at what cost? Financially and time spent. So buy the land to flip it after a year or two or three.
If you choose jakpa na him go worse pass, first of all u will use close to half of that money to get there, and then some more just to hold body while you try to settle into your new environment. E fit happen you no get meaningful thing to do there now you find urself living in worse conditions than when u were here, just that u have a little more safety and 247 light, and you get what u pay for, which are not usually cheap. When u tire to de wander for wilderness u return here with ur last card, nothing to show except accent and your 8m inheritance gone in the wind. You can be lucky though, it's a gamble.
Then finally, the best is always to channel it to a business, but business wey u no sabi or get one competitive edge/advantage over others, is just you gambling your money and paying manager and staff salaries, just so you can answer name as 'oga' or 'CEO', if you already have a proven way of generating money then channel the money there to grow it. Otherwise, refer to the above mentioned.

Please don't message me to consult later. Don't even use this as advice, I'm just commenting so e go enter another page. Cheers.

E no pass like this walahi. No need to ask question or debate about it, she should already know wassup. Then if she goes ahead to try it it's now clear what's on her mind. I go do my own denial. Denial of financial responsibility. I go begin build second family, an army of sons. When the time is right, I will abandon her and take care of only the kid. Let's all be mad together.

Seniormanfeyyie:
This thing is very simple. If a woman I married denies me sex for two months, another woman vagina has taken over be that and she should be feeding herself. I will only be responsible for the feeding of my Child

That's what happens when you think you're a better man than those who came before you.
Just cheat.

It's not like these women don't know it's a powerful natural instinct, they do and that why they use it as a tool of control. You cannot tell me they don't know how huge of a sacrifice it is for men to commit exclusively to women. It's also a sacrifice for women too, but it is greater for men because unlike men, women just have to bathe and go outside the house and sex is available. May not need to bathe sef and WhatsApp + Uber will bring dick their way. So knowing all this and still going ahead to hoard something he needs is malicious, and anything she see she has to take it like that.

I know the next thing now will be the excuse of "stress", but how do you explain when this shit happens in relationship of like 3 months and not marriage. After the first 2 months of honeymoon phase where you are naking everyday like rabbits, all of a sudden she start refusing to kiss u on the mouth, b4 the sex then completely disappears. What stress is she going thru then? Most will say it's stress but if they find out u went to cheat, they will decide to cheat back, meaning they're too stressed to knack you, but not stressed enough to not knack another man in revenge.

All youre doing is folly. You've apologized, it's ok, you tell her to see what caused it, just as you're telling us now, then you cut her warning, to not let it happen again. If it does, which it most likely will, then you do what almost every high testosterone man is doing, don't talk or argue, just go outside and bust ur nut. Return home to your happy family. Everybody is happy, she too is not stressed, since it has now become a burden to help relieve partner of carnal needs. Or you go marry extra wife.
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. Don't be one.

You don't have to take my advice o. Abeg, this one is my own. You follow at your own risk. If you no get the mind then continue what u r doing and see how well that works out for you, and if you are a happier man with it. To each his own.

.

Welldone bro. I trained amateur kickboxing for a while, so I know how tasking the training is. Morning and evening, morning and evening. Rugged.

I'll say that it depends on your age now, and the promotion you're with. You know say this thing na damage wey body de collect, and it gets harder to heal and recover, the older you get.

If you still have time on your side, you can still do school after, because your time for blowing in combat sports is limited, although the skills never leave you, except for maybe speed and stamina.

Then if you are with one promotion, they will just be carrying you to all these local fight tournament in the east or ibadan, where even if you win, them go just pay u like 5k, promise you say them go soon carry you comot outside country. You will just be packing facial and body injury for meaningless money. You may get lucky sometimes, an international promoter may be at these events, and be impressed enough by you sha, but that's like 20 percent of the time from what I saw.

The school option now, u go de pay to sort, incur debts and all, you finish u fit no come see work, now the time you could have used to blow in sports e don pass, and for nothing.

If I were in your shoes I'll still do the school, let the promotion drop me, I no go send, you can always go to the coach in your local stadium, if you're good, he go carry you go sports festivals to compete, then you meet one or two ppl who can carry you outside (most na just promise and fail), because anything here, my brother, na just wound you go de collect steady. Even the festival's sef you win your gold 1m, them go first delay your payment then comot something b4 paying, then your coach wey enroll u go demand him own, before u see anything.
It's a hard choice but try to do the both if you can. Unless you can see evidence the paramount is ready to take you outside. This is my 2 satoshis.

Hello Nairaland
Good morning to everyone.

My name is Promise I'm in my mid 20s. currently I have graduated but still having some outstanding courses (full session) .

I graduated from one of the state university.

My problem is that I'm an Amateur boxer (Paramount king boxing) Lagos and still need to clear my courses before I can take my results. Things haven't been going well with me, the people training me in boxing has told me to choose between my Career in boxing and the school I'm going ( because it's really affecting me I can't go to training anymore) .

I don't know what to do should I just leave this degree and focus on my boxing career ( may be I may travel abroad when opportunity comes) or should I finish my school because this degree has been drawing me back ward(since 2015 I was suspended and I came back in 2019 ) now I graduated but I'm still owing my school delsu (9 outstanding courses) .

I'm really suffering because my parents don't have much, but they are still struggling to make sure I go.

I'm really tired.

please I need advice. please u can insult me but I also advice me thank you I'm the first son I have two sisters.

More.

GoldPencil:
There's an alternative solution for this. But as they say, better soup, na money kill am.

pls , are you still in this business

No bro. Since 2018

This my comment no mean say you go allow person de disrespect you anyhow o,

BUT let's try and be pausing to really think about what it is we are getting ourselves angry about. 90 percent of the time if you really look at it, it's something trivial or silly.

He carry your babe, ok no problem, do like say u no know, begin chaik another while still collecting from the hoe or promote your sidechick. If e too vex u, a slap or two is ok.

27 years is almost how long it took for the internet to be what it is today. Can you imagine going prison just b4 internet was invented, and coming out now. How will the world look like to you? Last last for cell there, na boy yansh you begin de kill for. Lol.
Think.

Lucky you then

1stbest:
They have restored it ,

They block it two times in one week because of my book title


That it looks like an advertisement

Loool. Dem don terminate my guy but him Neva know wetin de sup yet.

Check your spam if e no de inbox, you have most likely already received 1 or 2 warnings b4 this termination. My guess is plagiarism, as most of us in this country don't really understand that word, and think what were doing is okay.

As someone who has been terminated on at least 2 Amazon platforms, let me just tell you now, all your "I'm sorry", "I wont do it again", "this is what I use to feed my family", "my staff are depending on me" pleas will fall on deaf ears.

Don't cry don't beg, just go find new bank account and email address and vpn then restart.

Try to avoid doing what you did to get banned. Or at least don't get caught

I have done nothing bro,

I only upload low content book from createspace and bookbolt ,

I haven't get a warning from them nothing, you can see some of the books on Amazon when you type UniNature on search box



Is this their customer service mail ?

My own is that if any random white man who is probably a plumber or repairs road in his country, if they should walk up to same place in the same attire, the probability of that guard letting them in is over 90%. He go even clear road for them de form tour guide. So why do we hate ourselves.

Why should he wear short to an office na play we come play?

Dont fool yourself with that 'it's time to be a man' bullshit. look at the inflation rate today and exchange rate today. that should tell you that that 1m u hustle save no be shingbain again unlike before.

Ask yourself how long it took you to save that up.

Now you go pay and rent and 'furnish' as they like to say, then 6 - 700k don comot for your acct one time. b4 you know 12 months is up and it's time to pay landlord again. then you start selling the things you used to 'furnish' to make year 2 rent. And burdening your friends with borrow requests. Meanwhile you have no savings left and no ASSET(land).

My own case I used the money I would have used to 'move out and be a man' to buy btc and the price tripled 4 months later. Safe to say no regrets at all. When no be say dem de pursue you comot.

If u want freedom to de carry girls come your room just do it. dem no go flog you with cane.

1m savings never even start to go anywhere.

Build consistent income then you move out in style. No be race.

Person still de learn work Dem call am King. Na why Nigeria de where e dey. Lack of speaking truth. Right people to right job. Na amateur crap be this

The days of cashing out with promo codes. Good times.

HeliosHay:
Currently putting a recently published book through the launch process and the result has been impressive.

Given the recent change in the Publishing industry (audiobook Goldrush is officially over), it's even more important to extract every bit of performance from the ebook, paperbacks and hardcover editions of your book.

One way to maximize performance is via Amazon Advertising. This is a bit scientific and a bit artistic. It requires patience and constant monitoring/optimization to weed out the non-performing keywords and double-down on the keywords that are bringing sales.

Do this well, and you will see tremendous results in your bottom line

That being said, it's incredible to note that quite a number of people are still sleeping on publishing. You see people searching for legitimate ways to make money and change their lives.

Get this...in 2019, my total revenue from Publishing was over N50 million and N36 million of that was pure profit

If that is not life-changing I don't know what is.

Keep your head down and work hard and smart. With persistence and the right strategies, you'll eventually unlock your potential and earn the income you deserve.

N/B - The dollar to naira exchange rate has been an absolute joy for those who earn in foreign currency!

Yet another reason to stop sleeping and get publishing

papaejima20199:
This is my first time posting NL , although I've been reading a lot in the last few months . I'll try to be as detailed as possible. I don't even know if I'm asking a question, or advice, or what. I just have to get some things out of my brain.

I’m 36 and my wife is 32. we've been married for 12 years and have two children, twins age 1. I would say happily married. As in, we don't fight, , never any abuse of any kind, no major life disagreements. I love my wife. She is a great mother, a great provider for the family, and we make a great team when it comes to raising our kids. However, she leaves me feeling undesired. Sexually, just intimacy in general, not feeling wanted or desired, missing that flirtatious quality that we all enjoy in a relationship. Our sex life has been on a steady decline, honestly since we got married. Less and less and less every year, and yes, kids make that even more difficult (and provide very easy excuses)

About 2 years ago, I was close to cheating. There was a girl at work that I flirted with often. We started hanging out , and we always seemed to end up talking, touching innocently, flirting, but nothing ever happened between us. The feeling this girl gave me inspired me to tell my wife how I was feeling, what I was missing, etc. I told her how important sex was to me, asked her what I could change, or if she needed to change something. Her response was that she "just didn't really think about it like you do" and that she would try to work on it. Well she didn't work on it, at all.

The flirty girl didn't work with me any more, and I lost that "flame" with her and let it go, and went about life as usual. I've been working a lot of hours over the last six months. I fell into this flirty relationship with one of my coworkers 22 and we just would have a lot of fun with one another. Mad sexual tension. A few months back things happen and she blows me. Its great. Best sex of my life. We set up plans to meet up off work hours and we do.

My coworker is in perfect shape. Its like my perfect woman. I love the way she loves me. She appreciates me, she satisfies me, she matches my sexual drive, and even exceeds it. She is everything I was missing in life, and I'm as happy as I've been in a long time. She is also crazy about me which feels unbelievable. Its been a while since someone has just wanted me to be happy and wanted to please me. I now consider her my girlfriend.

I don't wish to hurt my wife. But I do wish to be happy.

I do not wish for my children to grow up in a home with divorce. I want them to grow up with myself and my wife still being the team we've been so far, doing equal parts to take care of them, and always be there for them.

I realize a lot of what I'm saying are things that can't go together. I want to be with my girlfriend, I don't want to hurt my wife, and I don't want my kids to suffer . I can't have it all. Now I feel stuck

I need help because I can't seem to go through with this alone, and I have no one close enough with the time and level of trust that I can confide in, so I would really appreciate it if you'd offer me some advice.

Thanks for reading

bobo, link me to your own WhatsApp signals group. the usdchf you dropped favoured me. thank you
