Yes, it's a good idea passing on one's legacy through children. But it's not actually the best way to do it, let alone that the children would be born into slavery too.

The best way to pass one's legacy is through books, movies, music...... things of that nature. It would have more impact.

Hmm. You remind me of what I heard in a video game, yep, a video game. Metal Gear Solid: "Life isn't just about passing on your genes. We can leave behind much more than just DNA. Through speech, music, literature and movies... what we've seen, heard, felt... anger, joy and sorrow... these are the things I will pass on. That's what I live for. We need to pass the torch, and let our children read our messy and sad history by its light. We have all the magic of the digital age to do that with. The human race will probably come to an end some time, and new species may rule over this planet. Earth may not be forever, but we still have the responsibility to leave what traces of life we can. Building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing".

I felt this way for a very long time, this is why I never bothered to get married, until I got to know about my lineage, then I have a change of heart. I can comfortably say "I want to get married and raise kids". 👌

I feel one day, you'll have a change of heart.

musicwriter:
No, I am not.

These type of things you see I worry about is more important to me than marriage.

I see. You don't have plans to settle down? Passing on what you know is the best policy, you know.

I stopped watching TV in 2017.
My best decision ever.

I woke up one morning and decided that I'll never watch TV again in my life. I reasoned that it was a complete waste of time, so I removed my TV from the wall, called someone and asked him to pay anything he has and take it.

Within 3 weeks, I realized I had so much time to think, which is something I prefer to do.

Within a month I started writing a book.

I enrolled in an online university and studied hard. Within that period I thought deeply about Christianity and religions, I researched the history of Christianity and I stopped believing in Jesus.

That's when I became free indeed and my third eyes opened.

I take it you're not married yet?

GboyegaD:
I am amused when I read such threads as this. When will we learn to mind our business?

A grown up makes his choice and lives by it and we in our usual sanctimonious stance tries to pass judgment. Truth is I see these kind of post as being envious of the other person.

this is the same way, many mock people who chose to vote Tinubu. Whatever happened to respecting people's choice?

abduleez1:
Yep.... More or less. The old regime.

Chai. Imagine a bunch chair rocking fvcks responsible for all the bad boxing earning and bad mouthing from Marvel tards.

Is it just me, or is oyibo among the offenders?

Nairaland has become one of the worst places to seek marital advice from

the place is full of badly raised kids. Many of them are damaged.

The Marvels.

Just when I thought Thor: Love and Nonsense is worse... The didn't made me change my mind immediately. The Flash is 100 times better than it.

This is really good. Let Iyabo Ojo defend her statement.

It is easy to start mouthing off because of social media trend and say things you can't defend just because of mere hearsay.

Let her produce those evidence she spoke of, let's see it or let her have her day in court.

I know person that gamble his school fees and lost then he started dipping into his mother's pension money and exhausted everything
All in this useless hope of doubling the money
After yahoo boys and drug addicts, gamblers are next on my list of useless people

well, you are merely voicing your opinion, though the hate part is what I don't understand.

The person who squandered his schools fees and started spending his mother's pension, it is his business, not yours, as long as he didn't come asking you to borrow him money to offset the gbese he is in.

As for yahoo Boys and the likes. Personally, they're who they are. I don't see them as useless or hate them. Though, where I have problem with some of them, is when they enter a bar or lounge and start smoking weed. If I'm in that lounge or bar, wahala go break out.

Anybody who want to misbehave should do so in their house, not come to public places and start misbehaving.

sukkot:
YES SIR. YOU KNOW IT

men who are alphas. Who know who they are when they were in Nigeria, become the biggest disgrace known to their family lineage when they go abroad. It's shameful.

sukkot:
So guys we need to understand that women are drawn to protectors and alpha and strong men. It is how they are wired.

Something happens to a Nigerian man when he gets abroad and the women notice it. The man gets emasculated by society.

He goes from being a strong figure of authority in Africa to an unwanted disrespected black man in the west.

Even a 17 year old white boy on the job can almost slap that 40 year old naija man on the job and he will be shaking and calling the 17 year old boy, Sir.

The man is emasculated by society. Goes from being an alpha dog in naija to a puppy in the west.

Our women sense these things and to a woman if you are not an alpha dog you are just useless.

You start emptying the trash and making breakfast and washing dishes now as the man. Jobs that you used to hire maids to do for you in naija.

Not only can a 17 year old white boy disrespect you on the job but you are now a dishwasher at home. You have no value in society.

Anywhere you turn up you are not celebrated but tolerated.

After a while the woman starts to see that this guy is truly worthless to me, why do I need to coexist with this emasculated societal reject ?

I am better off by myself and I can get a better job than him here as a nurse.

He has become a burden to me.

This is why most women chase their husbands away from home after they both relocate abroad

those who eventually don't chase their husbands away turn them to boy toys. Some women even go as far as marrying men who they can control and dominate at will. I've seen this happen countless times.

hmm. Not as If he caught them red handed with dick inside the pussy but heck, what tha hell were they doing inside that cubicle?

Nice.

Next is those in hospitality. The beer parlors, clubs, lounges, bars and of course, brothels. They also contribute to noise making.

iamoyindamola:
Be a man, be responsible for your actions
No one will beat you here we can all see through what you are doing
Stop the pretense

You wan hear the truth I don't pity the guy one bit because I hate gamblers, but you are here beating round the bush

Chai. Why the hate? Do gamblers gamble with your money?

Na wa oh. The security situatu8n in the country keep deteriorating.

The scene of the runway was abuzz with fashion models traipsing the runway during the Aba Fashion Week, holding in Aba, Abia State.

Suddenly, everyone held their breath and all heads turned in the direction of the start of the runway carpet.

A young boy, clad in a red shirt, ragged jean shorts and bright orange flipflops had mounted the runway. People looked on in confusion at the uninvited child, poised to walk down the runway, just as the models had done.

Unfazed, Kingsley Joseph from Ebonyi State, began the walk, as daring as can be, and gave his best rendition just as he had seen the models before him do. The silence, soon turned to cheers, and a rousing applause, as the highly entertained crowd marvelled at his performance. His antics went viral.

Soon enough, he got the attention of Abia-born philanthropist, Chima Anyaso who gave him full scholarship to pursue his education. What's more? He was subsequently seen in choice locations, having classy meals, signing endorsement deals.

It appears a demonstration of strong will turned out to be good fortune for the lad.

All for show.

How can an underage sign an ambassador contract? Doesn't he have parents or guardians or people who take care of him?

Dune Two

Another trailer.

I'll need to rewatch Part 1 cos I can't remember a single thing about it


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2Qp5pL3ovA?si=5h6XZIEK16jdyfz9

I've only watched it once. I wonder why I've been delaying seeing it a second time.

OasisX:


......anything wrong with the Budget?! 84% for capital expenditure is huge bruh. Alex gonna turn Abia to construction sites throughout 2024.

Is wrong when you borrow. According to some certain set of people oh.

OasisX:
Governor Alex Otti presents a budget of N567.2Bn for 2024.

84% for Capital Projects
16% for Recurrent Expenses

Estimated total revenue - N166 billion.

Deficit - N401 billion.

Governor Otti to borrow N385 billion to finance the deficit.

Yet Labour' Party enthusiasts and Obi losers won't say anything about this oh. LOL.

Asiwaju is the cause of it. If only he didn't rig the election and allow obi win. I'm sure by now, all of Africa would have been developed countries and the Naira will by now, equal to the dollar.

DissTroy:
When you're sober we might debate it. 7:00PM already. You and I know you're ninth bottle by now.

Don't misplace your shoes today though. Say hi to Mama Jamiu.

You Still didn't answer the question, ma main man.

DissTroy:
You're always in beer parlour mode, stating anything the green bottle in your hand pushes you to comment while picking your teeth with your leg on the table.

How long would you keep drowning out reality at Mama Jamiu's joint, Joe?

You didn't answer the question, ma main man. Lol

If you have a good certification, still in your thirties or below 40, or even early forties, you are able to save up to N10m and have a child or two children and not a political actor or a clergy of a big church, may I ask, "What are you still waiting for"?

You see, 7 months ago, your N10m was about $22K. Now, it is only about $8590. However bad, it could still take you to UK, atleast. Then you can begin sorting your life. Even if you have a business, it will be eroded soon.
What the likes of GSK, P&G, Unilever, Suntory, etc are saw or are seeing and moving should give you signal that this train is headed to a total anarchy.

Even if you do not love yourself, for the sake of your family, move. There is no hope in the foreseeable horizon. I am not a doomsday prophet, but if you understand the times, you know that things are going to get worse.

10 years ago, I called a friend and advised him to come over to Canada. He said he is not going to another man's country to "slave". He would rather come and visit and enjoy holidays. Funny enough his subordinate took the initiative. His (surbordinate) wife got a scholarship and in two years he relocated and he and his family now lives big in Ontario.

Fastforward to 2023, my friend is now in his early-50s, he has lost his job, his tottering business is now almost moribund. No thanks to Tinubu's economic janglova. Now, he is asking me to help him and his family relocate. 4 adults (Him, his wife and 2 children). How?

My reply may be brutal abd unfair, "Bro, you are 10 years late". He is now franticky looking towards the UK, looking for buyers of his inheritance, but the Tories are locking the gate on Dec 31, 2023. Not sure if he can still make it across.

My advice, if you can leave this sinking ship, please do ASAP. Today, it is armed robbery and kidnapping. In few years, a reminisce of the 1000000 boys will resurface.

Someone is going to come here to preach that it is not rosy out there. Yes, at first it will be rough. With time you will get along, learn the system, culture, then boom, you will just know you made a bold move. Nigeria is not getting better soon. Atleast, not with the huge debts and dwindling revenues that is over 50% channelled to debt servicing. Not with over 45% budget deficits to be financed on loans. Not with low purchasing power of the populace. Not with this "owambe" government. Not when our oil production is already swapped for loans for next 5 years and steeply declining productivity.

No, not with a Tinubu that does not understand productivity.

this is obviously sponsored.

DissTroy:
Don't let anyone emotionally blackmail you into being apologetic for pointing out their complicity in bringing on a bad situation.

If I insistently told you to turn on the freezer switch before going out but you didn't do so, insisting it's still icy so you can do so later. When you go check on it and your food has gone sour and I point out you're hungry because of your actions, it's emotional blackmail to want me to be apologetic about a situation you caused.

Everything pointed to Tinubu being a wasteful spender. His godfather-like control and obsessive need for subservience meant he was always going to reign supreme and not take advice even from experts, except he deems it fit to do so. And he's always had a horde of fanatical praise-singers to whitewash his image in the media.

Nobody should make you feel guilty for pointing out the obvious. Tinubu was an avoidable disaster

how are you so sure Obi wouldn't have been "badder" than Tinubu?
