₦airaland Forum

@op
Just curious.... I'm wondering why you decided to make eba when you have no stew or soup. The average Nigerian would rather drink it.

Immediately I saw the thread, I knew it would be the usual begging attempt and I was not proved wrong. These kind of stories are increasing daily here and many of them are suspect

What regular Nigerian bank card can one use to pay for iTunes subscription?
I have tried GT MasterCard and Diamond Visa which were both declined. When I called the bank, it had to do with dynamic currency conversion where foreign firms charge in Naira.

GT adviced I get a dollar card but the process seems hectic.
Does anyone know any bank card that works?

This is beautiful!

Getting a loan at this stage of the project can be sensible especially if you can start earning from the building in the near future.

The issue would be getting the loan at a good rate and knowing your ability to pay back. If your bank is willing to give you these 'quick credit' loans that usually come at a fair rate, that'd be good. But it's advisable you steer clear from most MFBs and smaller loan organisations so you don't loose your house in the process

This isn't right!
What is there to celebrate about repairing a hazardous overhead bridge which should not have been allowed to get to that stage?
How are we going to develop if we keep celebrating mediocrity?

In my time on NL, and with repeated occurrences of people coming out to 'expose' the other party, I have come to see that a good number of folks here hope to meet Mr or Mrs Right on this forum. This is not abnormal considering the format of NL and the amount of time people increasingly spend here.
In that same time, I have seen people increasingly complain about the opposite sex and how they are mainly involved in 'vanities'. This is not unusual considering that for most humans, when they are unable to achieve a target, most of that energy becomes bitterness and frustration which most times becomes evident in what they say about the event. It is a natural coping mechanism. So the question becomes, if we have 'good' folks on both sides actively looking for the right person, how come they hardly meet and awful stories keep coming up.

Thinking over this, these are the reasons I find responsible

1. People look in the wrong places. Yeah 'romance section' should imply what it states, but the way the forum is set up, you'd see there's hardly any constructive discussion there, yet, you'd see lots of people invested there hoping to get someone decent. Fact is, it rarely ever happens and most fall into wrong happenings. There are lots of sections on NL which may mimic a persons real thought process. I may be wrong, but there is a pointer in a person who spends 95% of their time on NL on romance section.

2. Getting too needy early on. Fact is some are straight talking which is not bad. But I posit that one is likely to find the 'partner of his/her dreams' when you get involved in sensible discussions initially outside romance. This brings me a little back to the first point. Get involved in other sections of interest, you're much more likely to find like minds there. That's the irony

3. A person's history says alot: Even in these days of alternate monickers, you're more likely to make sense out of a person who has used a particular profile actively with varied thoughts and opinions for say three years than a profile who just registered 2 months ago. There's a reason why Seun allows each monicker to have a viewable profile. I once got a device from here, but I paid a bit higher because I decided to use someone who has been selling such products for years on NL with good feedback and mine has served so far.

Finally, no size fits all. There is no apology for where one finds the right person (as far as no crime has been committed) and NL shouldn't always be a never avenue as some people posit.

I'd love to get responses of those who'd gone on to build strong relationships with people they met here stating under what circumstance they met....

NB: phrases or words in semicolon, are open to individual interpretation

Rather than start throwing insults, why not mention what I said wrong.
Learn to be civil

I don't think it's scamming. Likely those who want to sell the account to him so they've taken up all likely names so he can buy it

boninho:
He's tactically deficient, too conservative, very predictable with his playing system.... He's blessed with a very good talented squad but he's not progressive and innovative....hence, we can never see the very best of those players

So who would you like to replace him?

Good question @op.

I wonder why we people are unnecessary critical of him when he is performing well given his group of players.
Ask those against him who they think should replace him and they go quiet
Let's not have another José Mourinho and ManU situation where we start looking back to reappoint him after being sacked. We know the crop of players we have and our expectations should be tenable.

I doubt someone posted this. This should be confirmed if true or the thread closed before bloggers start going into an overdrive

Geminita1:
I've noticed the brightest women have very few men showing them interest while the low iq ones are spoilt with choice. Its only on the internet i see men asking for intelligent women.

Sadly, that's the fact. It's that way everywhere but moreso in the black community. But then, 'low IQ' is also relative as I believe a vast majority of people have an area where they excel. Fact is the black race in general need to up their game. BTW, are you the one on your profile?

All of a sudden, different countries are now lumping African leaders together and organising 'summits' for them. Worse still, you see African leaders going there looking for free lunch that would still be looted back to Europe.We've had China, Japan.... now this!
When would Africa grow up?

I'm worried another form of neocolonialism is being hatched in the name of 'trade deals'

In as much as it is good to be financially prudent (as I guess was the intention of the initial poster on the first thread), it is necessary to know that people would always spend on what they consider valuable.

People keep mentioning Bill Gates and Dangote who they know very little about. While those two may not be found with the latest iPhone, they can spend millions of dollars a week's holiday, art, horses, or watch some sport they have interest in. IT'S ALL ABOUT INTEREST!
Dangote may not have the latest phone, but would not fly economy on an international flight. However, right now with same budget for a flight, I'd prefer to fly economy and can use the change to get a good phone I'd use for at least a year. To me that makes sense but that does not mean Dangote is wasting money. It's all about things people attach value to.

The original poster also spoke about using a laptop of 60k cos all he does is reading and writing. Alot would prefer a more premium laptop cos of sleekness, better screen, speed, portability and ease of use even if they only read and watch videos on it. That doesn't mean they sre stupid or he's smarter than them.

People easily give financial advice when it's another person's money but hardly for theirs. Give advice but avoid being judgemental. Live and let live

BTW @op, it's proof and not prove

OlawaleBammie:
Dont mind dem, as if laliga is nt harder dan premiership.

Out of d five or six games played in laliga dis weekend only 4goals were scored, it has bn total shutout all over the venue, yet d premier midgets wil b carrying premiership for head like its heaven league

Lol...
They always believe that everything begins and ends with the EPL even though La Liga has always shown its tactical superiority. Well it's part of the English media hype.

The government keeps sinking billions into 'rehabilitating' these refineries but they never function for more than 3 months. The only people who are being rehabilitated are those handling the contract.
Doing the same thing over qnd over again yet expecting a different result.

I wonder what people who said Guardiola cannot survive in England are saying now.

If this was a scoreline in LaLiga, some would say it's a weak league and cannot happen in EPL.

These are the kind of scorelines Messi would be producing if he ever played in the EPL

Awon bloggers with their made up stories again.
I wonder why people keep falling for these made up stories

So what's the big deal about this?
Is it because she's white? Or someone just showing off his inferiority complex

Sometimes I don't understand why some of us view fellow humans as demigods just because they have a different skin colour. If it was a black person doing this in the UK or US, I wonder how many white people would even take note.

More annoyingly, it was even pushed to the front page

donaldtruman:
Not at all....I ve had 3 previous serious relationship.
Is just that I don't know how I ve come to love this girl that I can't say no to her for anything and do all I can,even go hungry to make her happy.

Besides,I had it in mind to marry her but it is obvious that I ve been stupid based on d reactions coming in here.

But d question I keep asking myself is how do other single girls who do not even have a job afford their classy lifestyle? Like some of her friends who also ve boyfriends and just bought phones for #400k?

If it is not their boyfriends that bought it for them,is it that all these other single girls in Nig are all prostitutes.

Why am asking this question is b:cos d reactions here shows that I seem to be d only man in this country who has spent so much on a woman or did what no man has ever done.

To answer your question, most young dudes don't spend crazily on a lady. It's more common with older men who have only money to offer. People can get money from different sources but other jobless ladies using expensive gadgets shouldn't be your excuse for what's going on in your life. Fact is I've noticed that dudes with more money spend relatively less on ladies than their less bouyant counterparts as ladies tend to stick if they see you're loaded and have a clear plan for life even if you don't spend much on them

From what you said, the girl is milking you.Her utterances show she wouldn't be with you if your cash sources dwindle and she's likely sleeping around given the company she keeps too.

I've once seen someone do something similar but on a much smaller scale and the end result was devastating for him. The girl simply saw him as weak. Once a lady begins to see you as weak, you'd loose any respect she has for you.

Don't be fooled by her beauty. There are more beautiful ladies out there. Call of the relationship, cut your losses and move on!

BTW, don't you think your expenditure seems over the top moreso given your job role which may not have long-term security? I make over double of what you earn but haven't and don't see myself spending anything remotely close to that on someone I'm dating. You have to invest for your future.


P.S I'm still trying to wrap my head around your story and wondering if It's really true

@donaldtruman

A quick question... Is this your first relationship?

I don't know if to be happy he was caught or annoyed it took so long.
It's clear it was well known he was a kingpin. So why did they have to wait until the deputy governors convoy was attacked before fishing him out.
If it was the average person they killed, nothing may have been done about him.
The Nigerian security agencies need to sit-up. In fact,we need a total overhaul

Hello everyone... We should try and rejuvenate this thread. Perhaps a WhatsApp group may be in order

It's a pity this thread is not active considering the potential Kaduna has by virtue of it's diversity and population.

If this is true, it just goes to show that our security agencies can fish out a suspect when they really want to

Hehehe...
The internet never forgets

Fish farming has a tiny profit and huge loss. I lost 300k to that business. I bounced back with pig farming. You should try pig farming

I am really interested in pig farming but have been reluctant to start out. Do you mind giving me some advice?

westliverenterp:
The walls will not be shinning as expected when you apply p.v.a to the painted wall. This is because the wall was not screeded before painting. Instead of using Satin paints in all the building why don't you use satin paints on the sitting room and the surrounding of the house. While the fence and the bedrooms should be painted with high grade emulsion. For efficient painting and screeding services call or whatsapp me 07088547073, 07051934963.

Thank you. I was told here on NL that matte paint may be a good option between the two. Would it also need screeding?

Someone also said using satin outside on areas with much sun may make the paint peel off the wall with time

gbadexy:
You may go with matte then. As pricing go, my matte is in the price range of emulsion grade of brands like eagle, president. I'm not even mentioning brands like berger and du lux.
matte is cleanable, flat and smooth on application even though the sheen and clean ability isn't as high as satin or silk but it still gives a classy finish.

Thanks. Project is in the north
