I am a very hard working young man and also a graduate though I lost my job due to the company gave almost all the junior staff redundancy due to the company reasons.
I struggled and started doing business recently though it's not been easy getting customers but I'm trying my best even here on nairaland.
I have this gf I've been dating for more than 3 years and she's an undergraduate... She does her biz just to support herself too..
She always talk about me living the country which I see as a good idea but the problem is I don't have enough money to take myself abroad.
She tells me so many things which are not right including using her friends bf as comparison with me. Even yesterday she told me her friend's bf just travelled out which I don't think it's any of my business...

If that wasn't enough she even asked me to go to the bank to get a loan and I can use my family house which my late father left in the village as collateral for the loan which I found very stupid of her saying such to me...

It really gave me concerned and I tried asking friends some friends if it was a good idea tho I didn't tell them she was the one who asked me to do so... I also tried talking to her that what she said about the collateral was some unreasonable talk to me because if anything goes wrong I will lose my family's property, and also lose respect from my family, relatives, friends too but she doesn't see anything wrong about the collateral till now and she still claims there's nothing bad in doing that, after all it's for my good.

Pls nairalanders what do y'all think about this type of girl friend ? Do you think Its a good idea being with such a lady or I should go ahead taking this loan?? Pls I need matured answers but if you want to bash me it's fine. Good day n

I've grown up all my life in a family where we feed from hand to mouth. From my grandparents to my parents, they only work everyday and their only form of "saving" is thrift. No investment or anything, only thing I know of them is that they work on a daily to support the family.
This whole thing is starting to crawl into my life as I'm starting to see myself repeating the same thing and I'm scared. I just finished university and I'll be 24 in few months time but I don't want to be poor.

I have this notion of working really hard to get what I want and this has been putting a little in my pocket. This kind of lifestyle just makes me see myself as just surviving in life and not succeed.

Please help me, people who have made it in life who come from middle or lower income families, how did you do it? How did you break the poverty cycle?

Lalasticlala please help move to FP

For tilting the presidential ticket towards the South West zone of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Governors Ben Ayade and Dave Umahi feel betrayed and have expressed frustration at the 2023 signals coming from their party.

The clash of interests was blown open last Saturday when Ayade, who’s the Governor of Cross River State, replaced some members of his cabinet cleared by the National Working Committee, NWC, of the party to contest various party positions.

Multiple sources confirmed THE WHISTLER finding that the caretaker Committee of the APC had given Ayade 60% of the available offices, including the state party Chairman, Financial Secretary, State Publicity Secretary, Treasurer and others while reserving the positions of state Deputy Chairman, Secretary, Auditor and some deputy roles for old members of the party.

However, the governor is frustrated by what he considered an undue advantage given to a presidential hopeful when the party registered a partisan group loyal to Bola Tinubu, APC’s National Leader, and the various comments of highly placed party members.

He considered the move a subtle endorsement of Tinubu after the party had allegedly promised to support him in 2023.

Ayade told close associates that “no state party position should be given to people who can’t keep their promises.”

He went ahead to ensure they got none as Alphonsus Eba emerged as APC Chairman in Cross River State.

It was gathered that as the Congress electing Mr Eba was going on, the old APC members were also holding a parallel congress. They elected their members including those rejected by Ayade.

A very close associate of the governor confided in THE WHISTLER that the Chairman of the APC caretaker Committee, Mai Mala Buni, “No longer pick calls after leading him into the APC with a huge promise of ensuring Ayade emerges presidential candidate of the party.”

He explained that Ayade was told all the President Muhammadu Buhari’s support groups, including several youth groups in the North would align with his Presidential aspiration.

According to him, “The anger of the governor is that someone in the South West, a former governor is being given undue advantage. He is the one being talked about. Recently, a partisan group was accepted and registered to promote his interest.

“While it’s too early to say but it’s better to start early, they (APC) have not hidden their support for one man in the South West, which we consider inappropriate because they are giving this man undue advantage. They are telling the man ‘the APC presidential ticket is yours’!

Few days ago, the APC registered the Nigerian in Diaspora for Asiwaju, NDA, a partisan group that has begun promoting the presidential bid of Mr Tinubu.

Similarly, the Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu inaugurated South West Agenda for Asiwaju, SWAGA, headed by the former Minister of Works, Mr Dayo Adeyeye.
Just on Thursday, Mr Adeyeye said 16 APC Governors have indicated interest to support Mr Tinubu’s presidential bid.

Also, the Arewa Youth Alliance for 2023 headed by Mr. Bello Lawan on Thursday in a statement urged all political parties in the country to commence a process of adopting Tinubu as the sole candidate for Nigeria’s President in 2023 adding that “majority of the youths from Northern Nigeria are waiting for the time to elect him as their President.”
Reacting to the development, a serving Commissioner in Mr Ayade’s government, who preferred not to be named told THE WHISTLER that, “It’s very wrong.

“Party politics is not played this way,” he said adding that “the system in APC is even worse than the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, that we just left.

“How can you promise a man that he would have the presidential ticket; that the North would prefer a southern minority from the South South to be the next president and you quickly turn around to do the opposite?

“A lot of negotiations went into wooing the governor into the APC. If you remember, it took the governor a lot of times before he finally accepted.

“One is not crying wolf or saying all is lost but a gentleman agreement should be a gentleman agreement. With the way APC leadership is going, they would create more problem because the same man they are promoting would scatter the party if they turned around to deny him the ticket.

“Again, let me tell you something that was discussed and promised his Excellency (Ayade) before he decamped. He was told that he would be instrumental to who emerges the APC National Chairman when the National convention is held.

“But there’s no more discussion as to who would be the person anointed. The Chairman of the caretaker Committee who visited Calabar on the day his Excellency decamped; who spent much time on phone with the governor and sent messages upon messages to him, no longer pick calls.

“In due course, we would possibly publish the message exchanges because the promises are there,” he said.

On his part, Mr Umahi in a similar dilemma as Ayade, has also been fighting back.

He’s exploding on the APC NWC which agreed a 50/50 sharing formula for party positions in the state.

But the governor denied the old APC the chance of making it into the state’s party executive . A source revealed that the governor said he had to consolidate his position.

Mr Umahi has been indirectly criticising the APC by saying that the South East must produce the next Nigerian President, urging all parties to ensure their presidential candidates come from the South East.

THE WHISTLER was told by a member of the APC NWC that the governor was indeed promised the Presidential ticket.

“The Governor was promised the Presidential ticket. It was discussed that, to create peace and quell dissent going on in the South East, the Zone should be allowed to produce the candidate for the next election.

“And it was agreed that the best candidate from the zone was Dave Umahi, the Ebonyi State Governor.

“It appears that’s not going well as we hear Ben Ayade of Cross River was also promised the same thing. There’s Bola Tinubu who is waxing stronger and being favoured by the party, is strategizing to ensure he emerges next year.

“That’s party politics for you. My advice for Umahi and all those southerners who were promised the presidential ticket is to stay calm. Yes, the sign is ominous but let’s watch and see.”

Mixed reactions have greeted the donation of two Land Cruiser Prado jeeps to the immediate past Chairman of Oyo State Peoples Democratic Party, Kunmi Mustapha, and the newly elected Chairman of the party in the state, Dayo Ogungbenro.

The publicity secretary of the party, Akeem Olatunji, confirmed the donation on Monday, noting that it took place at the State Government House, Agodi, Ibadan.

According to him, the leaders were rewarded for their loyalty.

He posted, “GSM at it again as he donates two Land Cruiser Prado Jeeps to the immediate past Chairman of Oyo State PDP, Alh Kunmi Mustapha, and the newly elected Chairman of PDP in Oyo State, Hon Dayo Ogungbenro.

“The two Jeeps were handed over to the two beneficiaries by the Chairman of Governor’s Advisory Council, Senator Hosea Agboola Halleluyah, with the assistance of Otunba Seye Famojuro and Hon Babatunde Tijani Double T. The summary of today’s event is that loyalty pays. Thank you Governor Seyi Makinde. Congratulations my Leaders.”

Reacting to the donation on social media, some respondents commended the governor, claiming that the donation would be a morale booster for the politicians.

One of them, Muritala Abiodun said, “Truly, Alhaji Kunmi Mustapha surprised me with his kind of loyalty and sportsmanship attitude towards the recently concluded congress. Congratulations to both of them.”

“Congratulations GSM, you are a nice man. Kudos to my Governor,” Kehinde Ogunrinu added

However, a majority of respondents on Facebook faulted the donation and questioned the source of money used to purchase the jeeps.


On his part, Seyi Olugbodi, said, “This is not an achievement, you didn’t state if it was a personal donation or otherwise? He has serious issues to face on governance and getting it right with the aggrieved party members!”

“Out of state treasury or personal purse?” Olaitan Kazeem queried

Alawode Kunle said, “Suffering and smiling, continue hailing your paymaster.”

Also, Oladeji Moshood said, “Just keep on spending the public money as you wish, the day of reckoning is fast approaching.”

Another respondent, Ariwoola Abiola, described the donation as a “misplaced priority”.

NoFucksToGive:
you are not going anywhere. i shall bury a tortoise shell with your details , you will never ever leave Nigeria, you must remain there with them and experience Buhari you all voted to the end. I am one of those advocating that all countries should ban Nigerians from leaving . You all need to be kept in Nigeria by force. None of you should be given visa or allowed to escape. Buhari must be given a third term by all powers the world or mankind holds holy ,may he twist the constitution and extend his tenure indefinitely . I pray he wakes up one morning and suspends the constitution so no one can hold elections again

I hope he crushes the media and forces all Nigerian into his ways .. Then maybe you guys will wake up.. smh

Abia Abandons Proposed Airport Project

Abia State government has abandoned its proposed airport project over its viability under the present economy of the state.

Governor Okezie Ikpeazu stated this when he spoke to newsmen during a zoom meeting, adding that the government would not embark on it because other states in the South East zone have established airports.

Explaining that the administration has prioritised its needs, he said the resources of the state must be properly channeled to address only the fundamental needs of the people.

“Only about five per cent of our population has interest in flying while the 95 use road to move their goods and services. We must look at the needs of our people before embarking on any project,” he said.

He stressed that the proposed dry port at Ntigha in Isiala Ngwa North local government area by the federal government needed to be completed to facilitate ease of doing business in Aba and the state at large.

The governor used the occasion to reiterate his administration’s mission to leave the state better than he met it and to be remembered as someone who came and tackled intractable issues.

“I want to be remembered as the governor who tackled unworkable roads like Faulks, Ama Ikonne in Aba and the governor who added to the road infrastructure stock of the state.

“Most of the roads we constructed are still standing and would stand the test of time. We have affected positively all facet of state infrastructure, education, health care, road, agriculture, and SME,” he said.
