Useless fellas!

They could have opened a church and make more than N3b and nobody would bat an eyelid.

They went about it the wrong way.

Nigerians are like cows that cannot wait to be milked--a gift that keeps giving.

Nigerians are stubborn. They won't listen. That is how we were warned about MMM, and we didn't listen.

Crypto trading is like taking power away from the government. What government will support that? The only way cryptocurrencies will survive is with the backing of various governments. Otherwise, it could be shut down by mere verbal intervention or threat. I am not sure a savvy investor wants to put money in such venture. But then, if folks can throw money down on MMM,tithe, Swiss Gold, betnaija and babaijebu, crypto would just be like a walk in the park.

This story is not complete. This is likely to be fake news. The man has probably had a colostomy, which is a normal surgical procedure. More info is needed.
Some of the colon problems that can lead to a transverse colostomy include:
Diverticulitis. This is inflammation of diverticula (little sacs along the colon). ...
Inflammatory bowel disease.
Cancer.
Obstruction (blockage)
Injury.
Birth defects.

Don't blame them.

That's how the story was shared in the village...a layman's description of the medical procedure.

AussiePlayboy:
I've come to notice a common misconception about many people, especially the ladies and some guys who dont know better and think that owing a car and paying rent for an accommodation are signs of success.
.
I find it appalling, really appalling. Thankfully, at 23, I bought my first car and moved out of my parents place and a year after, I still totally don't consider myself close to successful. I even feel like there is a lot I am not doing with my life.
I presently work in a top multinational company(outside Africa) and get paid flights and accommodation(even at the moment) in the best hotels in the world, yet I often see it like I have seen it all, and hence, its not true success. I am lucky, like really lucky to experience this at an early age and hence it has helped me understand what matters life.
I have seen so called "big men" loose everything in a flip of a second, I have seen what supposedly rich people go through and I sometimes marvel when I hear phrases like. "He owns a car and affords a 2/3 bedroom flat" so he is successful. Nawa o. My people nawa o.
Flat that one mistake at work or simply low turnovers beyond your control, and there is no difference between you and the guy carrying file on the street looking for job. Or car you have to keep that job to maintain? What about those in business depending on just one main client who they have to kiss their feet to ensure bills are being paid, yet brag. No matter how fine the apartment is, its still a liability to maintain, and you ll be kicked out, along whatever you put in there the moment you stop keeping the landlord quiet.
Also, its even funny how people see car as a luxury. Car is not a luxury. Having a car is just a basic necessity.
Nowadays, I flip through social media, and don't get moved. I just see people faking out their lives, with the temporary illusion of happiness, while I critically thing of the real things that matter. Too many people living hand to mouth, waiting for the next paycheck to maintain that lifestyle. That's not freedom to me. That's not even success

Draw your ears boy and girls.... Having a car with paying for a flat is NOT success. Heck, its not even a luxury.

You told them what you don't consider success...

but you failed to mention what you consider success.

Just checking...

Being able to afford a roof over your head and buying a car are success stories.

With high unemployment, entrepreneurship seems the only option.

Instead of selling hopes and "picking calls" like the pastors do, proponents of entrepreneurship are advising people to embrace the spirit of "starting something".
Has the term be overflogged in Nigeria? Of course, just like anything Nigeria.
The question is: What are the alternatives? Unemployment, robbery, prostitution and other vices?

Worse than unemployment is the issue of non-payment of salaries as at when due. Being a paid employee is good. The key term is "paid".
Will you be paid at the end of the month? In a functioning system, one can get by comfortably well with his/her salaries. But being owed
10 months salaries-in-arrears as is obtainable in Nigeria is not very appealing/encouraging.

The greatest killer is "my case will be different" until the inevitable happens.

If you think your destiny is tied to your ex, then go for reconciliation.

In all, you haven't factored in why the marriage fell apart neither have you
considered if she is open for reconciliation.

I can only wish you luck while praying that you don't become part of statistics.

Don't ever get married to a losing position. Pull a stop loss.

This is what happens when you suspend common sense because of greed.

Anybody can just set up a Ponzi scheme and call it Bitcoin bla bla because they know that Bitcoin is trending these days

30% profit in one week? Does that make sense?

And the victims are so-called educated people.

Smh..

If it sounds too good to be true, it's probably not true.
Real investments grow over time and require patience but people always want it sharp sharp...
and that is why they will continue to fall for this kind of scam in the future...

I wish I could pull up my reply in a Crypto thread here a few months ago. Everything I said would happen has been happening: disappearing brokers, regulations, indictments, etc. Like the naysayers during MMM era, people will be "burned" by Crypto. Nice concept but humans will always be human.

With bitcoin under $8k, some investors that bought into the hype above $18k are in deep mess already. It makes sense for a broker to want to disappear with the remaining funds.
Unregulated market is frausters' paradise. In other words, when you lose money, there is no agency to run/complain to. Oh well...

Some people were sold the idea of anonymity. Well...that can only last so long. Every government of the world needs the taxes. It is a matter of time before they get involved. The government will always win. One coordinated regulation is enough to kill the hype. Crypto investors just learned that this year. No government wants to lose power over the people in all circumstances.

I am sure you live in Nigeria swallowing all the BS you are fed by CNN! Like I said let USA try North Korea if they dare.

You think they are negotiating due to sanctions? Negotiating what? Have they given up anything? They are willing to talk now because they have completed their nuclear deterrence programme, they are negotiating from the the position of great power.

/
War costs money. North Korea has nothing that US wants.
The only reason they are paying attention to NK is the nuclear weapon. Don't forget that US is not a charity organization.

After the flooding in Houston, a lot of cars showed up in the market. They look nice and shiny after serious detailing. I know a lady who is cursing the day she bought a Totoya Corolla 2015. When the mechanic opened the dashboard, it was a mess. It will cost less to buy a new one than to get that car running right again. Cheap price is not always what it seems. Insurance adjusters have ways of determining if a car is a total loss or not(of course considering that cost of labour in US is on a very high side).

Volvo products are notorious for transmission and electrical problems. If the OP hasn't paid for this S40, I will advise that he stay away from it.

The "Think Home" ideology is really working in Enugu. With the advent of modern technology, one can transact business in Lagos successfully without being physically present in Lagos.

The axle killer from 9th Mile to Enugu is something else. Otherwise, I enjoyed the Sight and Sound of Enugu when I visited. From Inyi-Oji-Udi is a well macadamized thoroughfare. Absolutely commendable. I still consider Enugu as a home.

Enugu propped up with the wonderful works done by Chime. The pace of development is outstanding. One can only imagine what Enugu will become if electricity becomes stable.

Stingy is when someone understands the power of money and that it is a scarce commodity that should not be wasted to impress anyone.

One good attribute of the so-called stingy folks is that they rarely spend or give and they will never ask nor borrow.

A Nairalander who seriously needs advice sent in this mail. Please read and advise her. Thanks


"I Am still in love with my ex but I am married to a stranger


I wish to seek advice from nairalanders. I will accept insults. I just got married 2 months ago.

Let me start by saying I dated my ex for 4 years. We loved ourselves but you know as the year went by, my ex started showing some attitudes like hiding his phone when sleeping. Also his parents came up that we can't marry, simply becauss I am not same state with him.

While all this played out, this friend of mine connected me to a guy whom came back from abroad to marry. I saw the guy but didn't like him but before we met. I already informed my parents about this guy from abroad who likes me a lot. Without seeking for my approval. My parents got carried away and insisted that it's him they want, not my ex anymore. Out of fustration and pressure I married this new guy but I feel no love for him. My ex also wants me back and I want same because I love him.

I plan to divorce my husband because I can't stand that he Will be my husband for life. I don't love him.

Please advise me."

/
Divorce him and marry your ex.

It is the safest bet because if you don't follow your heart, you may end up killing your current husband.

By the way, why is she still in contact with an ex that jilted her badly?

ABC Transport from Lagos to Zamfara: N8,000.

15 lashes of koboko

1 bottle of alomo bitters.(to soothe your nerves)

2 shots of sango Otta ( to console yourself)

Total cost still less than N15k.

Try beating that.

Of course, the greedy Mbaise folks will not show on this thread.

Letenwam:
Former Vice President Abubakar Atiku’s son, Aminu, who is engrossed in a fresh legal custody battle with his estranged wife, Fatima Bolori, has dragged his wife to an Igbosere High Court in Lagos, where he asked the court to upturn a magistrates’ court’s decision which awarded the custody of his two children to Fatima, as well as a N250,000 monthly upkeep.

Recall that on January 10, Magistrate Kikelomo Ayeye sitting at Tinubu on Lagos Island awarded full custody of the ex-couple’s daughter, Ameera, 11, and son, Aamir, 7, to Fatima, after Aminu failed to file a response to Fatima’s application for the children’s custody.

Aminu's counsel, Oyinkan Badejo, who filed an application to the high court seeking leave to appeal the lower court’s judgment and another application for a stay of further execution of its terms, claimed that the lower court disregarded his constitutional right of fair hearing before granting judgment in Fatima’s favour.

Badejo said, “In response to whether the applicant has shown sufficient grounds for the grant of the application, there is not more sufficient ground than the party’s right to fair hearing.

“We arrived at the magistrates’ court at 12.30 p.m., believing the matter was for mention at 1.00 p.m.”

Badejo also urged the court to vary the conditions attached to the custody order, which directed Aminu to pay his ex-wife N250,000 monthly for the upkeep of the children, beginning from January, and also carry out medical insurance on each child, among others.

“We are not seeking a stay of the execution of the judgment but some of the terms were onerous.

“We were asked to pay N250,000 for the upkeep of two young children and medical allowances. We find that rather onerous" counsel to Atiku's son concluded.

However the move was opposed by Fatima’s counsel, Mr. O. N. Olabisi and Mr. Ethel Okoh, as NAN gathered that the case was adjourned until May 17 and June 14.

I made it clear that he should also take a legal approach while hustling, involve the police and sign an undertaking did you even read what i typed at all?

Fighting his father will only get him more than he bargained for and people would think the father is the good guy here

/

So what people think is more important than the life of his mother? Involve the police and sign an undertaking? If you really care about the thwarted opinions of the general public, you should know that calling the police on your parents is equally as bad of beating your father. God forbid the family lives in a small town.
