Why so much referring by the hospitals and medical centres? Is it so difficult to flush out the poisons that they had to refer her three times and possibly a fourth if not for her death. She probably could have been saved if not for the gross incompetence that seems to be inherently wedged within the corrupted innards of every sector in this country. RIP to the lady. |
Hi, infogenius. Speaking of writing reviews, are you saying that you write ten reviews for one single product? By the way, you mentioned using a WordPress website for affiliate marketing. I want to know if it's still possible to do so PROFITABLY now considering how atrocious the site address looks? Would it not come across as spammy and even scammy? That said, you speak of selling a property through you email list. Does that mean you cater to the Nigerian market? Thanks! |
Ucheosefoh:How many books do you currently have on KDP? |
HeadBoyPrince, KudaBank no longer works with Payoneer. They said it's due to CBN forex policies. And even when it did work, their exchange rate was ABSOLUTELY ridiculous at #371/$. That said, continue your search for alternatives. |
I am currently experiencing the same thing with Zenith Bank. Mine was an inflow since November. It's made me realize how terrible their customer service is. You see, they don't even bother to pick their calls when you call them on their official line. They just hang up when it's your turn on the queue. Then there's my account officer who blatantly hangs up and even refuses to pick my calls. And they NEVER reply to emails. Plus, I've been to two of their branches severally. And they've confirmed the inflow, yet releasing the funds is a Herculean task. Mine has been with them for a month now. Here's what I am going to do: On Tuesday, I am going to send an email to the fraudulent bank and cc CBN fraud unit. I'll let them know that I have cc in the email. In there, I am going to accuse them of fraudulent misappropriation of funds. It seems no one is really regulating these fraudulent banks as they ought to be regulated. Hence, the impunity with which they disregard customers. I mean, they don't even respond to their social media pages most of the time. |
@emmyang, Thank you very much. |
Morning guys, I withdrew money from my Payoneer account to my bank account for the first time in 28th of November and it is yet to land in my account since then. Is this typical? Bank is Zenith Bank, by the way. |
Everything you have written here is the ABSOLUTE truth. Left unchecked, women are HORRIBLE MONSTERS. A single woman can RUIN an entire kingdom. |
Careful now! What you are about to read are going to sound like the words of a "psycho". But the truth is I really don't care. I saw a thread here on Nairaland and I was shocked at the comments. Thread's on how Nigerian men in the US keep murdering their Registered Nurse wives. Some more brutally than the other. Here's what I got from the discussions: 1. Nigerian men are controlling, egocentric and entitled bunch of people. 2. Nigerian men IN Nigeria are demons from the devil's own table who ENSLAVE their wives here in Nigeria. And treat them with utmost brutality. 3. Nigerian women are INNOCENT, HARDWORKING lots who have the misfortune of being married to Nigerian men. 4. Nigerian women are ALWAYS in BONDAGE. 5. It's okay for a Nigerian man to just walk away when a Nigerian woman seize all/most of the properties he'd spent several decades acquiring. Even when his kids were not spared either. 6. It's okay for Nigerian men to use his OWN money to build a future for BOTH themselves and their wives. But it's okay for Nigerian women to do whatever they want with THEIR own money. Even build a house in their OWN name without the knowledge or consent of the husband. 7. A "village girl" in Nigeria can just go to the US and study to become a RN. Just like that! Here's what I think: NIGERIAN MEN ARE DOOMED! DOOMED!! DOOMED!!! Common themes amongst most commenters on the thread include: 1.Nigerian Men are just lazy and unwilling to improve themselves 2. Nigerian men want to reap the benefits of their wives labour. 3. Most Nigerian men work menial jobs abroad. Even those that have been there for decades. What the purveyors of these themes imply is that Nigerian men abroad are simply lazy, unambitious and largely unproductive for SENDING THEIR WIVES TO NURSING SCHOOL. But here's the kicker: Running a nursing programme in the US costs a minimum of $40,000 PER ANNUM in private institutions. Community colleges (Public institutions) will accept $3,000 PER ANNUM to run the same programme. Programme spans 4 years. Using the EXTREMELY conservative estimate of $3,000 per year for 4 years, the programme will cost about 5M naira. And that's just for the tuition fees. Ponder on the number of businesses a man could run with that kind of money that would leave him comfortable FOR LIFE. Ponder away! Now, during those four years. The man would be in hell. If indeed he's a menial worker, he'd have to take on a second job. Work insanely long amount of hours just to get enough money to pay his Nigerian wife's tuition... And pay for groceries... And pay for house rents or mortgages... Then, pay for their child(ren)'s school fees... Oh! Never forget that he STILL has to support BOTH their families in Nigeria. And while he's busting his ass to get all that money, he still has to take care of the kids 'cause his Nigerian wife is busy studying HARD. But, sure! Nigeria men are PRETTY lazy for sending their wives to Nursing school. TRAINING your wife in Nursing school? What a level of SLAVERY the woman has to endure! Every slave master in history trained their SLAVES in Nursing school, right? The bare bones of your black ancestors littering the sugarcane plantations of their white masters would probably wish they had to ENDURE that kind of slavery. Now, four years down the line SHE graduates! Yay! Finally, the man can take the time to focus on himself and his passions. But No! He has to wait on the kids 'cause his WONDERFUL Nigerian wife now "has a Jeb" of her OWN. She is RARELY at home, even at night. The man has to pay special attention to their kids else Social Services might just take them from their parents due to neglect. After a while, the Nigerian man notices something odd going on with his Nigerian wife: She dropped the "My husband" appellation. She won't even address him as "Papa Emeka" or "Daddy Titi" anymore. He's now "Chinedu" or "Kayode" And that's not all. Chinedu has to cook for the family ALL the time. And Kayode must do the laundry because "duh... I have a Jeb" As a proud Nigerian man, he still has to work at the "menial job" he'd use to sponsor his Nigerian wife through Nursing school. Or perhaps, he's now into "Auto Exportation Business". But because he can't pay attention to his business due to the myriad of domestic responsibilities, he only managed to sell "about four cars" in a year. Heck, heck, heck. Nigerian Men are REALLY demons. Kayode and Chinedu NOW tries to reason with their RN wives but all they got were: "Don't be a square, Chinedu. You know my job is important" "You cannot hold me back, Kayode. I am a free woman" and a whole lot of "You nag too much" expressed in a variety of obnoxious manners. And all attempts by Nigerian men to get their in-laws to wade in FAILED. Because the parents of their Nigerian wives are finally enjoying the rewards of their "labours". Ain't that swell! Finally, Kayode and Kunle found out that the reason their wives were working such insane hours at their jobs was because their wives were building a house in their hometowns EXCLUSIVELY in their own names. And that's when the argument started... Escalated... Then EXPLODED with a threat of divorce by their self-made, independent Nigerian wives. But, sure! Nigerian men are assholes with self-esteem issues. Perhaps, the Nigerian men thought their Nigerian wives were joking about the divorce. Until they got served with divorce papers. In just two weeks: Kayode loses the house he'd paid for with his own money... Chinedu loses all his investment properties... And they both lose custody of their kids. They now roam the streets of New York like chickens. Directionless and without purpose. Two decades of work in a strange man's land and absolutely NOTHING to show for it. Are Nigerian men not DEMONS? More: Their strong independent ex-Nigerian wives would not even let them see their kids frequently. The only thing they have to show for their commitments. And when Chinedu and Kayode finally get to see their kids, they have to deal with their rude ex-Nigerian wives who "come late and leave early" to the designated meeting place. Ah, the EVILS of Nigerian Men! Kayode and Chinedu, devoid of life and robbed of hope, decide to payback their ex-Nigerian wives the only way they know how to do so in a society rigged in favour of women. One decided to shoot his ex-Nigerian wife. And the other had his ex-Nigerian wife tied to a car and driven round the streets of New York until her brutal demise. Given the plight of these men, does anyone really have the right to perch like a hawk on a moral high ground to judge these Nigerian men? I say: HELL TO THE NO! Personally, I do not advocate violence against humans or animals. But if any man thinks bludgeoning a wicked and heartless ingrate to death with a sledge hammer is the way to go, I say go for it. It's nasty and unfair to demonise men who have sacrificed everything, including their masculinity, for their families just to have their future ripped from their fingers. It is even more horrible to see the amount of MEN who think these men are just "weak, insecure, lazy-ass men". Nigerian men need to wake the HELL up! P.S. Every man should read the book "The Rational Male: Positive Masculinity" by Rollo Tomassi. P.P.S. You can send a PM to get a digital copy of the book. You can ONLY get it until the 25th of July, 2020. |
Hi Eliok, It must be close to a year you've been into KDP now. Care to share how many books you have in the system? And have you been able to cross the $500/month mark? |
TheSourcerer:Is everything all right? |
A brand new Redmi 8 of similar specs costs less than 57k. Are you selling this one with a generator? |
genius43:I never claimed otherwise. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. |
genius43:A wonderful suggestion from an insincere heart. Where did I mention that the phones ought to be sold at the same prices they go for in China or India? |
Xiaomi has amazing phones with fantastic features. The only tragedy about their products are the retailers and the resellers. Some of the exorbitant prices we see on this thread and elsewhere will quickly turn Xiaomi into a luxury brand that only a minority can afford. The surge of progress that Xiaomi products currently enjoy will be halted by the greed of some sellers. Learn to stem the tide of greed roaring within. You don't have to build a house through the sales of just 3 Redmi Note 8. Haba! Be fair with your prices. A 40-45% markup on cost is too much. Grow a conscience and banish greed! And for everyone doing a fantastic job of keeping their prices fair, THANK YOU! |
One he-goat is on the verge of hijacking this thread. HML to the prospective couple! |
GreetMe:Committing to something bigger than yourself helps substantially to quit masturbation. |
chatinent:Perhaps. But I want to believe that it is rare to descend to the level of masturbating in publicj at the sight of a sexually attractive person. |
Whether masturbation is a sin or not is a question of theology. Whether masturbation is right or wrong is a question of ethics. But whether masturbation is difficult to quit or not is a question of "try and see". You've stopped for a couple of weeks and you finally think you have it under control. Out of the blue, the urge just grips you and like the jaws of a rabid dog it never lets go. Before you know it, you are on your back to xvideos. This infernal cycle of "Quit-and-one-last-time" continues until you become an Addict, unable to control yourself. The presence of an audience that would ordinarily dissuade you from the act now becomes an added spice. What is responsible for the sisyphean nature of this undertaking? Why is it so hard to stop masturbating, even when it's a prominent part of your new year's resolution? Many, many years ago, Aristotle gave the answer: "It is frequent repetition that produces a natural tendency.The more frequently two things are experienced together, the more likely it will be that the experience of the recall of one will stimulate the recall of the other" In simple terms, when you remember the pleasure of orgasm; you remember masturbation. To you, masturbation equals pleasure and pleasure equals masturbation. It doesn't help matters that the pleasure is devoid of the commitments of a relationship. Now your brain associates masturbating to its own dose of dopamine. And there is no way in hell it is going to let you stop masturbating, just like that! How do you justify the halting of an action that is good for the brain (dopamine) to the brain. It is going to be hard. Neuro-Lingustic Programming(NLP) explains that, eventually, this association made by the brain seeps into your subconsciousness, outside of your control. That is the reason masturbation rarely takes front seat when you are actively engaging your brain but is quick to rear its head in moments of prolonged idleness. SO HOW CAN I STOP MASTURBATING? Stopping masturbation is not easy. In fact, it is so hard that people who successfully quit masturbation should win a Grammy Award or something. But it's not impossible. STEP ONE: RECONFIGURE YOUR BRAIN Associating pleasure to masturbation is the last seal that your brain places on your addiction to masturbation. Your first step is to RECONFIGURE that association. Associate masturbation to something you consider horrible and repulsive. Write it down. The moment the urge to masturbate sets in along with its promise of pleasure, consciously insert that repulsive picture in-between. I am fiercely independent, so I chose slavery as the repulsive association to reconfigure my brain. Whenever I get the urge to masturbate, I just ask myself "Are you a slave that you can not control yourself?" You must get off your bed after making this association ( This is critical). Repeat the association between masturbation and the loss of something you value greatly. Remember: It is frequent repetition that produces a natural tendency. So, repeat the new association as often as possible. Trust me, it works. If you have trust issues, then I am glad to inform you that it has been empirically proven in the field of NLP that, again, it works. STEP TWO: FILL THE VOID Whether you accept it or not, masturbation fills a void. Quitting masturbation is creating a void in yourself. If you refuse to fill it with something else, masturbation will majestically waltz back in. You must, therefore, find something to replace masturbation if you must successfully quit it. If you believe in God, you can resort to focusing on your relationship with Him. Pursuit of money, commitment to personal development and working out are other things you can use to fill the void. No matter what you do, NEVER LEAVE THE VOID VOID! STEP THREE: NEVER STAY ALONE Staying alone when you are attempting to quit masturbation is like locking a hungry goat with fresh tubers of yam. It will end in tragedy. Stay in the open and the pain of embarrassment will keep your hands out of your pants. Here, you are banking on your dignity as a respectable person to help you quit masturbation. You will need all the help you can get. STEP FOUR: KNOW THE NEGATIVES Finally, you must recognize and acknowledge the negative sides of masturbation. A writer woke up one morning to discover that he had ejaculated in his sleep and he lamented that "he had lost a novel". And I can relate with him. Once you ejaculate, you feel accomplished (face palms) and your brain is lulled into a feeling of comfort. The result is that your productivity is diminished. You can masturbate as many times as you want, since it's something you can do alone, and you'd be moving from accomplishment to accomplishment ( Lord have mercy!). And productivity will disappear from your existence. That is a major negative side to masturbation. I am not a medical practional, but masturbating can result in premature ejaculation. As you continue to masturbate, you would begin to notice a reduction in the amount of time it takes you to orgasm. It depletes gradually as you sink into the quicksand that is masturbation. For those living with others, it is even worse. They wouldn't want to be caught in the act and they would want to hurry it up, ejaculating in record time. Before you know it, they'd put noodles on the cooker and ejaculate before it is done. And like a slimy serpent, Premature Ejaculation creeps in. Those are some of the negatives. Embrace them and when the urge comes, trace the path to PE and lack of productivity rather than pleasure. STEP FIVE: AVOID PORNOGRAPHIC CONTENTS Hypersensitivity to pornographic contents is one of the harbingers of masturbation, avoid it. Movies, pictures, website and books that contain pornographic contents must become forbidden. That means all romance novels and most female celebrity threads. Pornography is like the Siamese twin of masturbation and if you can separate them, they will soon die. You will be free! |
I'll start. When I was 12 years old, I gave an aluminum ring to a girl. It took an extra ten years before I gave my parents any gift. How about you?

You should be very careful with your 'F×ck and Go' mentality. To solve your problem, do these starting from this moment: 1. First thing in the morning, send her a love message. With lots of "sweet nothings". 2. During the day, call her at least 3 times. Just to hear her voice or ask 'if she has eaten', 'what she's wearing' etc. Just ask same painfully boring questions. Each and every call, just do this. And ALWAYS ask her where she is. 3. Outside of the minimum of three calls you'd make during the day, call her around 9pm every night. So that 'the voice of your angel can guide you through the dream land'. 4. Immediately after the call, send her a goodnight message. 5. During your calls and physical meetings, never forget to heap loads of praises and compliments on her. In fact, if she makes the mistake of farting in your presence smile like an idiot and say 'it smells like the most expensive perfume your mother ever had'. 6. Go back to step one and repeat it again. Give it 21 days and she'll ask for a break. Block you on all social media and run for her life. Feel free to overdo! |

Jodha:Understandable. That's what makes it possible for lawyers to make money. |
Wonderful write up boiling with heartwarming conviction. Nigerians live in a shiithole because they are themselves SHIIT. How do you expect an organism to protest against its natural habitat? |
Our girls have evolved, our goals should not be left behind. Your beliefs and expectation from marriage should evolve too. Treat marriage as an experiment. If it succeeds, you're in luck; if it doesn't succeed, you're in luck - you can get a divorce. That's why a wise man should NEVER mortgage his future for a marriage. |
Your attitude is FINE! Your BF is used to sweeping ladies off their feet with his personality, the fact that he doesn't have that effect on you deeply unsettled him. |
Takeit2017:Shite!!!... This is bad, very bad. What do you plan to do with your feelings now? |
Wonderful Article!
Quora's full of them. Would do more good in family section than romance, I suspect! |
YOU MUST LEAVE THAT APARTMENT! Their constant frolicking is going to ruin you. I am sure you are feeling depressed, not 'somehow', that someone who dumped you so abruptly is already humping and pumping with your room mate. Chances are high they've been doing that even while you were still dating her, just so you know. The current arrangement is not healthy for your mental wellbeing. You'll end up depressed and your focus will shatter. You can rest assured that with every plunge and grunt of your room mate and moan of your ex, your hatred and resentment grows deeper. Especially for your room mate. Again, you need to leave there before you commit murder! I am speaking from experience here. If you stay, they will emasculate you, your confidence will shatter and you will forever be intimidated by your room mate. LEAVE! |
Funmmyastic:This is what you'll get when you haven't scattered your woman's brain with love. At OP, women try to impress men in more subtle ways compared to men. My ex started sending me pictures of herself doing makeups in movie sets. Then, showing me pictures of how many snacks she could make with an actual picture of herself making some of these snacks. She enrolled for a professional exam and never allowed me to rest about all the things they were teaching them. At OP, what do you think she's trying to do? Women are super subtle creatures. |
