Benin is a poor city with basically teacher and bankers as the workforce there. Political thuggery and crime are the only way youth who haven't gone to Germany or Italy look to.

$2000 is almost N800,000 in naira equivalent a month for baby mama binta diallo alone ..
That's huge

They both enjoyed the sex which resulted to pregnancy..
The upkeep of the child should'nt be on wizkid alone ..
2000 dollars per month is small. Depends on the state you live sha but it's small especially when you consider monthly bills such as rent, water, utilities, phone, internet, car insurance and others.

Doing an exchange into naira doesn't show its true worth

If you ain't married to her, you don't have to force her to do these things it should be her own will.
And for first impression, it goes both ways wink
Nah, it ain't going both ways. A man marries a woman, no the other way around. Why do you see women crying and rolling in the ground when their bobo proposes to them grin grin grin grin grin
TravelRe: Top 10 Countries With Cheapest Fuel In The World- Nigeria Is One Of The Cheapest by Holocene(m): 7:39pm On Sep 09, 2018
Gas is about 2.6 dollars per gallon in my area. One gallon is about 3.8 litres.

That means a litre of gas is 0.7 dollars.
0.7 dollars equals about 248 per liter in naija.

But that's like chicken change here so I would say gas is cheaper here cos the currency has more value than naira.

An average Nigerian earns 90k per month which is 253 dollars.
A plate washer in the US earns about 11 bucks per hour, works about 10 hours equals 110 dollars. So he makes same amount in like 3 days excluding the tips he get when he serves dishes.

Because you be naija person na. That's why he would never win the Fifa best player award.
He has the potential to earn almost as much if he was in Barca anyway. Messi is making a killing there grin grin grin

I agree that his dragging penalties and free kicks with cavani was childish but it's something they have sorted out and also remember he was injured last season and yet he was still among the top scores so I feel this season he would bring huge quality to his club. That World Cup one na better funny something grin grin
Even John Utaka was once a top scorer in the French League. grin grin grin grin

samzzycash:
you mean you would have regret being one of the most payed footballers. How can you even say he regrets his action cause he took time to visit old friends
He has not improved since joining PSG. Playing rabona and doing flicks isn't what football is all about. Dives like a fish and fights to take penalty. He has regressed since his move bro. Barca kept him matured cos they have bigger stars
SportsRe: Neymar Returns To Barcelona, Meets Ex Team Mates by Holocene(m): 7:05pm On Aug 27, 2018
NeededGist:
Why so you feel he is regretting his decision?
Because to me he is earning more money, they won their league last season, even though he got knocked out of the champions league Barcelona was also knocked out too.
So you dont think his football has depreciated since his PSG move. Look at his childish attitude during the world cup and you will see it was all a result of the way he was behaving in PSG, dragging penalties with Cavani. He was more mature in Barca and his game would have improved more playing with better quality players.

He wanted to be a big fish in a small pond. I know he regrets his decisions now.

Hello,Frank netters. Been following your thread for a while now. You are such a good writer and your experiences are on point.
I finished with a bachelors degree in human anatomy 4.09 and I would like to study nursing in the US. My question is can I directly do masters in nursing or do I have to do prenursing or bachelor in nursing again as an international student
Would really appreciate if u can guide me. And am sorry if I am derailing thread . Thanks.
From experience, you could use your credits to start afresh for a BSN. They may consider your courses in Antony and physiology if it was from a standard univeristy

When you apply on FAFSA, which is like the government assisted program for educational loans, you may get up to 5k grant which does not need to be paid back after graduation.

The area I work is equipped with "docking areas" where the trailers latch unto. They are numbered bay 1, bay 2, bay 3 etc.. Each bay has a laser scanner and a little rectangular metal object.

Each package has a shipping label which shows the destination, address, weight and shipping details of the buyer and seller. When the package is unloaded, they are put on the central conveyor belt which brings the packages to the outbound area. Each package is scanned by the laser scanner which then hits it into the corresponding trailer. So for an item going to Kentucky, after it is scanned, the rectangular metal object hits it into the trailer programmed for kentucky, then you grab it and "load" it. The job is incredibly fast-paced and tiresome. UPS ships packages of a shapes and sizes, so once it comes into your trailer, you quickly look at the shipping label to ascertain it's the right destination, then you load it into the "wall".

Some packages are super heavy (70 pounds and above) some are light. No matter how heavy, you don’t discriminate, load it and complain later.
Like I said, the job is hard for me and I’ve lost 15 pounds already but on the plus side, I’m building some muscles.

From the first day I started, I begun asking questions about the “earn and learn” program which was the reason I got the job in the first place. I was told what to go online, to a website and fill out some forms after which I’d be given a voucher to present at my school which would cover my tuition. Mind you, I had already paid half of my tuition (around $1,500) cos I didn’t want to miss out and have to wait for the spring semester (January 2019).

I found out that UPS has a tuition payment program on its own, but there’s a sweeter deal: a program called CRCP (Chicago region college program). If you sign up with them, you would get your tuition paid in full and extra $400 every month.
Why ain't you tapping the advantage of using a student loan to pay your fees. You might be qualified for a Pell Grant since you don't have a degree already. Look into it and see if it helps.
Nursing school ain't as easy as it seems especially with care plans and clinicals grin grin grin grin
