Nothing new. The worst is when they turn you to their ATM simply because you showed sympathy. It's mostly manipulation. A lot of people see begging as 'an' easy way. Nothing new in the trend.



Begging is a full time job for a lot of people if you only know and the irony is how the laugh behind your back afterwards because they make so much money everyday begging. I know a begger who owns properties worth millions. There are lots of such people on Nairaland too, who are making money from begging. People make transfer to them every now and then. The genuine people who sincerely need help are very few.

More so, is when they turn you to their ATM and the moment you don't give, they start showing ingratitude either by misbehaving some will even insult you in your face.

Exactly. I don’t give beggars money.

You will see someone that says he is hungry and he is standing no way a food junction. The worst are the one that say they need transport and they are standing no where near the nearest busstop.

If you tell me you need transport and you are standing at the busstop, i will stop a vehicle and pay for you myself.

Most just think they are smart but they don’t know their punishment in eternal would be very severe cuz they are making things difficult for those who genuinely need help

I want to beg my rich friend on facebook but fear dey catch me.
This guy is my friend since childhood, he is now,super rich he is close to being a billionaire but I have never benefit any shi shi from him and lately I am going through the worst poverty of my life, I want to ask him for some financial assistance to use hold body but honestly I am afraid.
I am tired of losing friends, there is another friend of mine he is now a lecturer in the US, we attended thesame secondary school infact he was my best friend back then but he blocked me on fb and WhatsApp because I asked him for help, I am afraid this guy too will give me thesame treatment.

I lost about 6 friends because I asked for help I dont wanna lose this one oo
I need advice

You would keep losing friends, with your abeg-abeg attitude.

You can never get better when you are always begging.

Set out and get a job, work on yourself, learn new skills - improve, improve, improve.

Thugnificent:
pls can you assist me with any amount for foodstuffs pls 🙏

If you continue this begging lifestyle, you can’t have anything.

The same you would be still be wondering why you get so much but have so little or nothing

Nowadays i am compelled to advise men seeking marriage to avoid women raised by single mothers especially if their father is dead. Yes i know but stay with me.

I see cases of men dying so young in marriages and in most cases i don’t like what i observe in their wives: negligence, lack of care, frowardness. These are the attributes their daughters take on.

This woman’s husband died young, she didn’t kill him but could have attributed to his death or it could be a generational curse. Either way do you want to marry her daughter and dye young too? lol. Rather-less you don’t want a lady that grew up without a father figure in her life, trust me you don’t.

Aswear I have come to a stage I don’t ignore small details.

Back to the topic, only God knows what this woman’s husband endured before he went to be with the Lord (as there was no mention of her husband, I assume he is dead).

Chickenandchips:
This boy is an orphan, and he only allowed the woman to leave with him because he was the only one in the big house.

This boy was most likely having sex with her. That is the price you pay for such foolishness. He should count himself lucky to be alive.

“l asked her where she wanna be when she twenty-five (Five)
She turned around and looked at me and she said, "Alive"”

If i were i Doctor in a first world country, I don’t think i would attend to a patient (where physical contact is needed) without a nurse present - even if the nurse won’t be doing anything but watching

All i would say is sexual incompatibility is real

Kobicove:
Shoprite has already started charging N150 for bags

It was Bokku Supermarket that first started that rubbish now everyone is copying them

Items are cheaper in Bokku and their Nylon is of the best quality i have seen.

I can’t say the same for Spar & Shoprite, especially Spar; sometimes i wonder why people go there when items are cheaper in your neighborhood supermarket

JuanDeDios:
If you wave at someone to stop and he speeds of, you will shoot him. Smh. I guess they learn from some Nigerian policemen how to not use firearms.

If any one of them had died. The person(s) should receive death sentenc.

Why are you shootings at someone who is not a threat of any kind to yorur immediate safety

Samantha125:
Tramadol... I nearly got addicted to that thing last year... I got it as a prescription from the doctor and at first, I also hated the feeling after taking it... Hallucinations, dizziness, feeling hot, constipation, having stomach cramps whenever I was hungry... I eventually stopped taking it because I couldn't deal with all those side effects.

But something happened and I had to resume taking it again, but this time I noticed that it was giving me this energy I didn't have before and I'd be hyperactive and at peace with myself... It became my coping mechanism for a while until I ran out of the pills.

It was only when I found myself begging for one more pill that I realised that I needed to stop before it was too late... I've heard how addictive it could become and I'm glad I was able to restrain myself while there was still time... So I wish you all the best in fighting the addiction.

Enlightening. I always wondered why people are addicted to Tramadol. I must have taken it once or twice on doctor’s prescriptions but i didn’t feel a damn thing.

Never knew it was addictive.

I side with the VP.

Take for example the people begging on the street, no matter how much you give them it would be never be enough if they choose non-productivity to get free money.

I personally don’t give people with complete arms and legs anything, if you choose not work/be productive; you shouldn’t eat.

Emmani360:
Can’t you just take this heart touching story as it is and leave this questions that won’t add any value to your life.

What value has quoting me added to your life?

NikoWinaman:
This is quite like how my best friend back at uni days found his wife. We were just sitting in his car at the car park of our admin block when some girls drove and parked beside us. As one of them was coming out the car she didn't know something fell down and my friend noticed the black nylon bag that dropped. When they went into the building we went to pick the bag only to discover it was cash of about 250k as at year 2,000 oooo. And that day we were broke looking for money to drink beer so you can imagine. I had already started jubilating untop how many crates of beer we will drink when my friend said we must find the girl to give her back the money untouched. I nearly craze but I had to agree with him. We found the girl and gave her the bag of cash. She nearly fainted and that was how it started till graduation and life together with two lovely kids. Unfortunately and sadly he passed away few years back leaving that beautiful down to earth lady with the two kids. May his gentle soul rest in peace. I still miss him so much and do all I can to always support the wife and kids although the lady got a good paying job. So painful

Omo i have so many questions because it sounds like you went to a Federal/ Government University.

How did a (she) student get that sum of money in year 2000 , no vex it just raises red flags in my head.

I wish your friend was still alive, to give you the full gist of his marriage; so you could tell us. May he rest in peace.

PerfectStranger:
Every woman wants a simp until its their brother.

OP is an hypocrite. No mother wants her son to be a father to a bastard and OP is not an exception.

Most of these women with such ideals are looking for a fool to manipulate, a single mother herself knows she shouldn’t be the first or second chose of a thriving single man with a great future

Lance008:
Which kind unprofessionalism Dey happen for this country
How Efcc go Dey enter person house like thief jus imagine na

I have said it here before, maybe it is when EFCC start losing lives of it staff they will have sense, now it is happening. Unfortunately i forsee more of it staff meeting God if they don’t become more professional.

Don’t expect people not to defend themselves when you enter people’s houses like thieves.

What is wrong with surrounding the house and politely knocking and identifying yourselves

Imagine EFCC damaging people doors and invading their privacies dead in the middle of the night, I support people defending themselves, Nigeria is something else now. Some days ago the same EFCC had to sack some of its staff cause they were actually rogues, so I won’t put armed robbery past them.

Dead in the middle, you are kicking my door. I don’t know who you are, I don’t know what is going. I would start recording the event and definitely grab a knife, to use to send the first and maybe the second e-diot that makes it through my door to God. Make una go explain your stupidity. Ahn ahn. The recording would be for my lawyer to prove it wasn’t EFCC but armed robberies

Ridiculous. Was it not Football that bring all the cheddar, she was spending and currently wants to claim half of

She could be wherever he was, if she wanted: so her reason is not even valid. She is seeing someone else, cashing out is a bonus

APOPTOSIS:
How some men end up with Ladies who contribute nothing should be studied across the Universities

At the bolded is really amazing. Most of these women in high profile divorce contribute absolute nothing.

Prenup is essential. A wise basketballer (Stephen Jackson) some years ago wanted to get married, his folk adviced he get a prenup. If you see the way the woman disagreed violently ehn; that she wasn’t after money blah blah blah. Oya sign naa: she kept dodging it till the wedding day.

Baba said no prenup no wedding, then she started crying oo that she would sign. She didn’t know baba sef was wise, apparently if the partner is in tears while signing, later it could be proven that she/he was coerced into it l. He stopped her and ended the wedding.

AllenSpencer:
They don’t know the plays yet and need to be reorientated.

You can make it big from the prison system if you smart and know when to quit.

Drugs and mobile phones are hot cakes that can quickly get you rich. Make the money from the system and leave the country before you get bursted.

It is a big mistake to hire Nigerians as Prison Warders.

You can see the post above me, that is how a typical Nigerian thinks

JoeyNaza:
The full length video was gruesome to say the least. It was a brutal expose on the saying "kill or be killed".
https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/1hrs6oz/close_knife_fight_between_a_russian_and_a/ (original clip here)

The Ukranian soldier was really sloppy and it cost him his life. He appeared injured or atleast disoriented because his movements weren't steady and he fell while approaching the enemy's hideout before the main confrontation. He was probably tired and weak.

He was also heavily stacked with gear (grenade, ammo, even a camera) which is not suitable for close quarter combat because you give the enemy more leeway to grab and maneouvre you during the tussle and you carry more weight which is a restriction on you. The russian was lighter. In fact, the russian used one of the ukranian's grenade to finish him off.

The Ukranian heavily miscalculated too. He performed a technique inadequately. He tried to flush out the enemy using a grenade. Usually as you flush out the enemy, someone is meant to be positioned at the escape point to either surrender or take out the enemy. In his case, he threw inthe grenade and couldn't run to the entrance fast enough so the enemy ran out of the enclosure and met him at the sharp bend. That technique is best used when you have assistance.

The Ukrainian was less experienced and he didn’t follow his instinct cause he clearly hesitated in searching the building alone.

I was wondering why he was even alone. Teams of two should be the least expectation

There was nothing glorious about that fight. I still blame the Ukrainain president for this needless war and i hope he dies a painful death, screaming as he goes to the afterlife for the number of lives wasted for his foolishness.

Even Jesus said in the good book, if your enemy comes at you, you sit and count the cost; if you are able to overcome him in battle or meet him with peace. It wouldn’t have cost Ukraine anything to be netural

Patricia, who had recently moved to Lazio from Nigeria, reportedly visited the house unaware that her friend was not at home.

https://punchng.com/dogs-attack-kill-nigerian-woman-in-italy/

Who visits someone in this day and age with calling/texting first to let ‘em know you coming.

Kia. What a way to die

AlabiKILLER2023:
Pastor Adebayo

A ritualist criminal

He won't live beyond this year

I pity you oo.

If you think Nairaland is anonymous, the joke is on you.

Btw you have not noticed the number of people that wished Buhari death and they themselves died with his tenure while our Baba is still alive and enjoying himself in his Village right now. That is the anointing on the position of whom God has chosen to lead Nigeria during that period but here you are wishing death on whom not only has God’s anointing but God’s hand is upon. Cherish your life oo

dreamxhaser:
Mr man! Don’t say what you don’t know

Do you know what lifestyle means?

You want to do “lifestyle” on 500k lol.

Didn’t you funny at yourself after you posted this.

N500k a month, gets the OP:
1) Good food as much as he wants to eat
2) 24 hours electricity, he can easily save up to install a 1.5kva inverter
3) good clothing, shoes, shirts etc
4) An affordable decent apartment
…… with these few is it not a good life already that the OP should be thankful to the Creator of Heaven and Earth for

When some women never find husband till they die. It is not village people.

It is character!

Some people character is so repulsive, you would rather live with 2 years old rotten egg then live with them.

She shouldn’t be allowed to go scot free, charge her to court and get damages, obstruction of a lawful business operation; calculate the opportunity cost of the flights cancellation and make her pay in full

Without a doubt it would be one very ugly creature way past her useful years

Zonefree:
I want my woman to be feminine all through.

Most men want a feminine woman.

Any thing short (not-homely, she-no-dey-listen, proud, quarrelsome etc) is found unattractive.

richmond500:
500k is not a small money buy present Nigeria standard.
Some people deh earn only 100k

Are you minding the people that are deluding themselves on the trend that it is small, set online billionaires

As a single person, the OP is earning enough to be living his best life. Only him knows what it eating up with funds with him.

Felicity001:
A road that is not up to 25km took this government over 5yrs to complete.yet theyre celebrating long overdue success. Imagine the suffering the entire citizenry of that state went through in those years.

Well, it's a good thing to have completed the project, but it took too long.

Ambode completed 1000 roads in just 1 ur of his first tenor. 1000 roads ooo not 1000km of road ooo, 1000 roads, that is to say this road would have taken him less than 3 months to complete but it took our governors years. It's a shame

I know this road, no lie here.

It about time we see the budget spend on all these road construction, cause something is telling if we know the exact figure. We would be calling for someone to be probed

But seriously good roads should be as basic as oxygen in the air for Lagos. It irks me that the Governor is commissioning it here and there in a year as advanced 2025, when it is not 1998

Nonexisting1:
She has rushed online to paint the wrong picture for us so that when the real story comes out, some of us will be confused which one to believe. Not me, experience has taught me not to believe her story. I can bet my balls that whatever happened was 90% her fault but she is here to curry sympathy and mask her sivia pain.

Are you minding her.

Person wey dey resemble bag of rice already. Way way past her prime, that she still thinks she is a catch at this stage is pure delusion of grandeur.

I am even happy for the man,

AdolfHitlerxXx:
Once a woman says she doesn't mind if you screw another girl... she's emotionally detached.

I can bet she's cheating.

That 100% certainty is amusingly naive. I can tell you with 99% certainty she's found a longer diick somewhere

God bless you.

I know for sure the woman in question.

What woman wants to share, who says that if they are not cheating

Some people would just keep deluding themselves with various excuses.

Namaster:
Oh boy!

1. Married for 10 years.
2. Has 3 kids.
3. RECENTLY got a job with BETTER pay.
4. NEVER initiates sex.
5. RATIONS sex and it's down to just 4 times in 30 days.
6. CONSTANTLY complains of stress.
7. BLATANTLY tells you to get your sex elsewhere.

Dude, this woman NO LONGER finds you attractive if she ever did.

You couldn’t have said it better, I just dey look as OP dey down play all the red flags.

She longer sees him as her leader and has placed lesser value on his leadership.

Op is not even acknowledging every possibility, if your partner starts rejecting sex there is very strong probability that they are getting it somewhere else.

gabazin080:
She even told me she wont mind if i find another girl to satisfy my urge.

Once your partner tells you to get another person to satisfy yourself, she is definitely cheating and doesn’t want to be only one END.

GboyegaD:
How does increasing tariff in this case help solve inflation?

It has gotten to a stage some people just think Nigerians are stupid and i don’t even blame them.

Imagine the level of stupidity spewing out

GboyegaD:
We truly lack shame or what is there to commission in roads. Interesting the entire road spans led than 10 miles. He should be busy thinking of providing more infrastructure than the fanfare and waste of public funds that comes with the commissioning.

I wonder why we still live like we are in the 20th century.

As much as i hate to say it, politicians should be done with using roads to bolster their political profile in 2025. It is become embarrassing.

For a state with some much income, I seriously feel Sir Sanwo can do far much better. I am expecting to see great thinger.

LordBiden:
Ote should stop creating confusion in first bank.

Enlightened us, how is he causing confusion?

From where i stand he doesn’t want some people to eat the bank’s fund with all ends of their mouth (greedy Nigerian way), hence they want him out.

If you have a contrary opinion let’s hear it
