Thanks so much. Someone just added an extra bar to my life. Thank you sir. Thanks

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: What It Was Like To Tell My Kids I Lost My Job by gonkin(m):
Yeah it happens. During covid 19 some of my friends that worked for other firms were laid off. I really imagined how it felt like and didn't want be in their shoes. Forward to September we got a memo that site is closing down and to be decommissioned. Some were transferred by December I got my letter. I was laid off. I was compensated but the tax chop over 70k. Instead of 500 I go 400 almost below. I worked there for just 2 years. I was jobless for years after nysc just gathering experience started a business that barely lasted a year. Any business without proper funding is BONDAGE.

So i was laid off on the 22nd of December last year. Told my girl the situation. She tried to encourage me that there was hope. I split the cash. Settled outstanding debts, put rent aside in a vault. I calculated the finances would last me till March /April. By January my vehicle was having hardstarting issues. Purchased a battery on the 4th. 5 days later the battery exploded under the hood while my car was parked in the garage. Didn't even drive that day. Just a lil thhhhhsssss and pufffffff. I didn't even notice it was my car burning till my neighbour raised an alarm. See fire from bonnet. Rushed to get my extinguisher the thing failed then I resorted to sand. I managed to put out the fire before it got to the fuel line.
I was thinking about the bite I had from replacing the battery and now the car is added salt to my injury.

I slept that night and the incident haunted me in my dreams. The next day I began analysing the damage.
Fan, fan shroud, air filter, MAF sensor, coolant over flow tank, paint job and some wires. I do a lot of maintenance on the vehicle myself so I knew what goes where. I managed to fix the MAF sensor soldering. (efficient electrical skills too). I got my inverter battery and as soon as I connected the battery it was a big spark. Traced the short circuit to the alternator and isolated the alternator. Tried again and the car came to life. I was relieved there was no engine damage. So i went to parts market. Spend about 25k for the damaged item. The next day I installed it and began driving. People were surprised that this was a vehicle up in flames 2 days ago. That was an unexpected expenses. And i saw I was behind budget so I visited my parents in lagos and managed to brush off some weeks of expenses. Barely 2 weeks later after telling my girl I can't help her financially like i used to SHE DUMPED ME. Saying she's not sure about me and doesn't want it to hurt me. Well it hurt alot. Cuz when all felt like hopeless I got hope thinking of her. Telling myself at least i have a girl. Well she left.
Since then I've been hustling for change. Helping people fix stuff. Endured. Applied for another job but is overdue to begin being that it's a new site and have someone on the inside. Other jobs I applied for diddn't even respond. LinkedIn is like a show-off platform. Even with my buffed up cv and multiple qualifications and training in the fields of electrical, mechanical, asset management , R&D, hse and fire fighting. I still wasn't noticed
I made a mistake to avoid temptation spending my rent I paid off 120k to balance 80k. The last 2 weeks has been hell for me. Just patience I have left.
In this buhari economy nobody has money to pay for services not even to mention help.
Its been over a month I last had meat, I've been eating shitty meals and relating my life to THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS and THE MARTIAN....... I'm at survival stage, cuz i just ate my late piece of yam and all I have left is a sachet of spaghetti and all 3 of my bank accounts combined is N87. Can't steal cuz i hate it. Trying jobs all over. If I had N5000 it will go a long way. I believe by next month I would be called for a job. I've survived on chores since late march but haven't received any tasks since 3rd week of april
So if u have something to spare here's my account details.

That's one ugly female. No wonder Bobrisky is showing off.

Abeg make i see road. Just dash her money she wont see all these. The amount of money man spends on a woman shows the level of love he feels for her. The system don spoil. Forget all these. Several years ago a girl didn't wanna date a guy cuz he aint got doe. Now he's a yahoo boy she's going chicken all over him. Na yahoo boys spoil true love. Once there's money to spend any irresponsible liability of a girl can fall in love. Thank God we still have girls with wisdom
Romance › Re: My Girlfriend's Past Disgusts Me by gonkin(m): 9:43am On Apr 29, 2021
Lifeisnotfair:
I hope everyone is having a good day. Here's my story and I'd try to be brief as much as I can.

About four months ago I met this white girl on Instagram and since then we've been talking day in day out. I'm surprised af how quick we both connected in a very short time and to be honest I can tell that she's crazy about me and I'm as well. As a matter of fact she broke up with her ex boyfriend so she could focus on our relationship because according to her she hasn't met someone as sweet as me and I was actually cool with it since no girl has shown me such love in my entire life.

We are both in our early 20s (24 years old) and we 've both promised each other a lot, we plan on seeing for the first time in Nigeria very soon but after last night's conversation, I actually don't feel the same way I felt for her when we started talking.

She confessed to have been with 8 guys after I asked her how many guys she's dated in the past, then she said 9 and later 10 and said she has lost count of how many times she's had sexx. And oh I haven't asked her to be my girlfriend yet though but last night I was about to and after hearing all of her confessions I had to go offline and she's been begging me for forgiveness but I've been ignoring her.

I'm confused and I don't know what to do. I'm deeply in love with her and I see a future with her as well but her past disgusts me so much and I don't feel sexx with her would be something special when we finally decide to get married in the future. Should I continue to lead her on till when I get a green card and just ditch her afterwards or should I just cut ties with her now that I have the opportunity to?

Ps: She's based in America while I'm in Nigeria and for those that would say I'm not a saint, oh well I'm sorry to burst your bubble but I'm still a virgin and haven't had sex in my entire life. I'm not saying she should be a virgin but I feel like 10 guys in the past is a bit on the high side. Please NL members, I need advice on what to do. Thank you in advance.

Update:
I've been reading all of the comments and I appreciate everyone of you that took out time to advice me on what to do.

First I'd like to say that my intentions of talking to her was pure and genuine. I wasn't thinking of using her to get a green card. And second I didn't say I was looking for a virgin but it's all good now.

I actually did followed my heart like most persons here suggested and we are both cool now. We hope to see where this leads us in the future. Thank you again.
And she's still in her 20s, i have a 42 year old thats a mother of 4 from 2 fathers and she doesn't wanna make babies anymore and that's the koko if i had the kind of girl u had if she like let it be 20, many of our naija girls aint any better as long as she's clean with no std and her baby pooping factory still works. U can make her forget her past. When u give them love they'll hold on to u, my brother hold am tight. I wish i had the kind of relationship u have. My naija girlfriend left me a month later when my work site was decommissioned and car got burnt. Too bad all this benefits boys has ruined the show i always wanted someone from the outside that wont frown when i speak too much English

Nice response. I'm curious however. What about the workload? Those two phones don't have great processors that can work heavy. Moreover, it's not mostly about durability, whats the essence of the long battery life when it's not really one for heavy usage or workload?
As at 2018 4gb ram + 64gb rom was cool. Camera is nice during the day but at night it's shit. It handles all I give it. I rooted it and got rid of bloatware, never freezes up. It handles all the workload it also has a heatsink to take out heat. Phone's quite heavy due to its dual 5000mah battery, i remember using its GPS without sim or WiFi, it was so accurate. U won't enjoy jogging its where the Nokia comes in. Its small and light. Its great for its cost. I got it 49k as at 2018 not its 47. Its way too cheap. Only major flaw is the type c it lacks its why i wanna change it. charged it last night. Just finished a movie and it's still 88%.

Two average phones and you're having one as main and backup. Those are two backup phones my gee
On a single charge with extremely heavy usage I go 3 days on a single charge. Best part it takes an hour or less for the k7 to fully charge. I went for durability and I'm getting it.

My choice cannot be the same as yours. I love phones with superb battery life and mine would take me over a week if I use em to just receive calls. The 3.1 I use when I'm high off the ground. My phones matches my job.

Oukitel k7 as main. Nokia 3.1 as backup wanna upgrade to wp6 or some other 8000 to 10000 mah phone cuz my k7 usb port is type a and is staring to fail

Probably rusted, that car is 19 years old, anything can happen.
Mine is almost 29 but i kind of made it a project car. I don't trust mechanics it's why I maintained it myself. Money dey hook me small I really wanna make mine standout and upgrade it to have a tall appearance. I always pay attention to detail.

I've been in 7 relationships and only 2 were not liabilities. Funny thing is that the 2 was older than me and very remarkable, one migrated abroad the other I left cuz her male siblings kept dying mysteriously 5 males, 1 female of 11 children. I jakpa. While the other 5 females liabilities were terrible.
