Non-Salary earners, What’s your source of income; How are you surviving?

In Nigeria’s challenging economic landscape, unemployment can feel like an insurmountable burden. With inflation soaring, the naira’s value fluctuating, and job opportunities scarce, many Nigerians are grappling with financial and emotional strain. As an unemployed individual, nah God hand I dey ooh because to survive no be beans ooh. Rising costs of basic necessities like food, transportation, and housing eat away at savings, while joblessness exacerbates the struggle. Those that are working are still complaining, but for me I acknowledge the challenge but I refuse to be defined by it, though things are very rough.

You suspected that your girlfriend was cheating on you. You noticed this based on her utterances and attitude.

You asked her, she denied. For months, she kept denying. Later, your own male friend confirmed it that your babe was actually seeing someone else. Your suspicion was now confirmed.

You had an altercation, a heated argument with her, and in the process, she sent you a message telling you that she actually cheated. She went further to put the blame on you for not being emotionally absent at some point in the relationship.
She apologized, you forgave her. After a week when the dust had already settled, you brought the matter Back. You asked about the guy she was cheating on you with and she said a few things about the guy.
You asked her to choose either you or the guy and she chose you. You then asked her to breakup with same guy and show evidence that she's indeed broken up with him. She said okay. After a week, you asked if she had done so, but she said she hadn't and was yet to.

How would you handle this?

Meanwhile, this is someone you've been dating for two solid years and both parents are even aware of your relationship. She's someone you both had agreed to marry in the next two to three years from now. This is a lady you're six years older than. A lady her friend told her to dump me simply because her friends felt that I'm too handsome for her and my level pass her own. She was the one that told me this.

It is really painful hearing your own woman telling you that she cheated while having an altercation with her. It hurts deeply, especially as a man. This is a lady you have never cheated on and she is aware.

I told her, I'm not ready to share my woman with anyone else. I don't double date, so I don't expect my woman to double date either. And since she's reluctant to leave the guy, I have signed out of the relationship. I told her on WhatsApp, I blocked her on same WhatsApp and Facebook. It's being four days now, and she will not allow my phone to rest with her incessant calls. I already gave her enough time to do what I asked her to do. To leave that guy, but she downplayed it. I'm not a Simp and will never be, no matter how much I love a woman. I was even lenient enough to forgive her in the first place, but the deal breaker was her reluctance to do the needful.

I know a very foolish church members that were trained all through university by a mother who had a restaurant, and a father who is a carpenter.

For over three decades, these jobs are what their parents used to cater for the family, until the parents got old, could not do the business anymore, and had to close shop.

Meanwhile, these three siblings (two boys and one girl) who are all in their 30's are busy jumping bus to look for work with humiliating salaries. Sometimes calling me to help with transport or medical bills for sick parents.

I always ask them, why did you allow your parent business to crash?

your parents already have a huge customer base to inherit from, structure, knowhow, and free mentorship until your feet are firm in the ground. Their answer are always nonsense such as ''food is not my passion'', I studied mass comm, I cant be cutting meat and doing such job etc.

I weep for them. I then asked him, is your passion jumping from place to place looking for job that pays less than 100k? begging for money and being unemployed?

His sister has accepted her fate and start to hawk cream and drugs, but she was a heir to a business that if she developed, would be in the level of ''Amoke Oge'', or Chicken republic.

The foolishness in those siblings make my blood boil. Same business your parent used to build house in the village, did all kinds of things, train you guys in school, you abandoned to go look for some office job that strips you off all dignity in this Nigeria?

Thats the situation of many youth in this country. They keep looking for some perfect job outside, while they can easily inherit what their parents have build for decade, all because the job is not flashy enough.

If it is not flashy, why cant you grow the business? that is the point of your education. Your education is not to oppress people, but to spot opportunities and like the story of the servants and talents in the bible, you multiply your talent.

being self employed means volatility

Where are the remote jobs? I'm in need of one.

There is a whole world of difference between the two. Hook up requires two willing participants … Yahoo/Kidnapping - not so much.

For those interested in African culture, let me be as honest as I can with you.

Be informed that African culture includes easy care-free sex life. Our ancestors didn't take things like sex seriously, so we have always been that way but it wasn't commercial as is today. The commercial aspect is what could be said to be caused by foreign influence.

I don't see any big deal in having easy sex with someone as long as it's consensual, in fact, I prefer that to lying to a girl I don't know that I love her. That's why in ancient Egypt, sex was considered just as a staple. But they invented condom for protection. They also invented contraceptives.

It's same way that African culture included deep spirituality even before white people arrived here, and that's why we're addicted to foreign religions because we have always been interested in things of the spirit from time immemorial. The commercialization of what is now called religion is what is modern.

So, things like easy sex can easily take hold on us. We have always been a people interested in such, though in this instance, we'll never know how white influence would have added to it.

Having said that, if you're interested in having our culture back, the solution is that we must understand the principles of CAUSE and EFFECT, then go to the ORIGIN of the problem and remove it. The CAUSE of our societal problem is the language, education, religion imposed on us by Europeans. Those three has changed our psychology and what we're living is the consequence.

You dey mind our people?

Hookup exist in the Netherlands and Singapore, but these are very safe countries.

GSoJ:
Thank you OP, I am a Portfolio Manager (private practice), what does the new tax law say about those who repatriate their investment income into Nigeria but domiciled in foreign currency? The previous tax law actually exempted us from paying taxes as long as we are bringing in our income in foreign currencies

Hardeybohwarley:
It wasn't intentional. I had to choose between "completed" or "ongoing" else the application won't submit.

An abysmal performance from a national side with 2 consecutive African POTY within their ranks (Osimhen and Lookman).
Let them prove their quality by carrying the whole team to glory...single handedly.
CR7 did it with Portugal in 2013, Dwight Yorke did it with Trinidad in 2005. And more recently, Antony Davies did it with Canada in 2022.

Its crazy u know....we were winning 1-0...and the guyz were hailing the keeper for wasting time ...is that how bad we have turn...how many clean link ups did we have today...I can't count anytime we played the ball smoothly from the back and got into the opposition box or even creating a good one on one from the flanks


The truth is we need to stop this Osimhen clamour ....who is going to give him that through ball....who is going to give those good cross from the wing ...I mean "good crosses" ...not the rubbish Moses Simon is doing

Our midfielder is flat ...we don't have that creative spark...hence in my opinion and if anyone should ask me ..we need to revert back to the 3-4-3 we were playing at the last world cup...at least with that we can have numerical advantage on the flanks and keep crossing the ball since that's all we can do to get chances ...

This team is not is not equiped to play a 4-3-3...iwobi is never a no10 ..he Is only good in a free role picking the ball and progressing it will fast passes ...he can also play a wide midfielder too...

The team should simply go back to the wing back strategy ...ola aina can play as the right wing back ...and oyemechi on the left ..we can crowd the box ...with that we can even play 2 strikers if things are not working

Look man can also play well in the system ..he isn't a winger passey but an inward forward ...

This team isn't sync ...they don't know each other's movements ...they are not a unit...but the last nations cup they looked a unit with the 3-4-3

Put it in your OPay OWealth and be getting interest everyday.

Base on your post, someone who knows how to trade won’t come here and say this beautiful things, You just did.

Envy and jealous

You don't have knowledge of what you've just said. Let's be guided in our comments especially on issues that are sensitive. It's unfair to sit down in your house and be typing trash against the the innocent woman, sen remi tinubu, who was only trying to assist and contribute to development.
