zerosugar:
It is a nairaland mod. The story you are reading is a paid job to keep the forum busy and generate money. There are several of such stories on daily basis on front page

That's another angle, though there are real scammers on this platform who operate on similar story lines.

lilyheaven:
She was ovulating

That's another angle, but ovulating women don't react that way.

Preciousgirl:
It's hard for me but I will confess here. My colleague of course male colleague playfully held my waist at the workplace and I got aroused. I have never had feelings for him though. I was a little wet. Have I cheated? Should I confess this to my husband? What really happened since I don't have feelings for the guy? Could that me juju at work?

Classical oxymoron? Never had feelings for him yet the flood gates were opened upon his touch. Something is amiss. I believe you know what that is and what you must do.

Deltavariant:
only a few would understand, even though its late to starting investing in Au, I have started a little by little even if its for my unborn generation

Exactly. The possibility of your initial investment doubling in a 18 months is high. Better late than never.


Please make sure to buy from legit vendors only. Ditch 18 karat also, it may be cheap, but if you're buying as a form of investment, it's best to buy from 21 karat or 24 karat (Au bars only)

Good day everyone.

Was having this thought today and decided to share.

What is one thing you wish you learnt earlier in life ?

For me , I wish I avoided women during my hustling days, would have made more progress in my life financially and otherwise.

One of the biggest mistakes I made in life was to date a parasitic girl during my hustling and struggling days.
I was a young graduate of 22 years earning 40k back then which was quite little but I had a girlfriend who was very demanding. She billed me to the point where I couldn’t even save a single penny , I really loved her then and would literally give in to all her demands even when it wasn’t convenient.

Last last she still cheated on me and got pregnant for another guy, the heart break really shattered and it took me two years to recover.

Currently I’m in my late twenties, got a very good job and earn very well and my advice to young men starting life is to be ruthlessly selfish. Be selfish with your time , resources and ambitions.
I wish I learnt that early in life , I would have walked away from that liability of a girl and focus on myself.

Avoid dating broke girls who add little to no value to your life, be more interested in your growth and development.
(If possible avoid relationships during your struggling days)

What’s is something you wish you learnt early?

Wish I had an early knowledge and motivation to invest in Au. A gram as at 10 years ago was less than 15k. The money was there, but my investments were not feasible. If only I had started out on AU at that time, I would have been far up the ladder of the millionaire's club.

Today, it is 170k plus. Each time a lump sum is dolled out in this purchase, my head aches. Good investment, bad timing.

dawnomike:
If all you've posted here is 100% true and you've not been abusive towards her over the years... Then I'm sorry to say that; You don't have a wife... Unfortunately, you guys are married.

Don't mind this person. This is one out of his many scamming techniques.

Is there a way nairaland can block these fake story tellers. The sympathy you are planning on gathering won't earn you any favoura again. #crim*nal

Sonnobax15:

Bro,dump her sorry assss real quick,cuz she ain't gonna add any meaningful thing to your life....

Lemme tell you my story.....the truth is that I officially just opened my shop of phone pay-charge,POS and selling of cold drinks just last week.....And the honest truth is that I'm the type who doesn't stay in one place via the fact that I'm a hustler ....So,this was exactly what I did......I have full confidence in my banny cuz I tested her capability initially,which was earlier this year to know if she could run a small businesses.....I gave her the sum of 120k to start up a POS business,and within the period of 2 months,she had already made a profit of about 100k, making the total amount to sum up to over 220k......That was when and how I knew and realized I've been blessed with a business-wise banny.......The funniest thing is that she hates when I tend to spend money on frivolities,cuz I'm very good at that . Now,lemme burst your mind again,the 220k was what we used in renting the shop, thereafter I sold my Keke which had been giving me series of problems and invested the money into buying the things I needed in the shop...

Right now,na she mount my shop but we dey make account of her everyday sales,cuz that creatures can behave funny sometimes .......

So my brother,any banny who can't manage a small scale business can never manage a big enterprise no matter how well she may try to paint it...... Imagine her even lying to you about the whole thing since then.......I don't know if I'm the only one but I totally consider any dishonest banny as a bandit who's after my life.

Now, this is how to run a business.

Sirchiboy:
That girl will ruin person life completely , I am not going for small girl again.
Going for older women now,
CAC reg I gave her money to do uptill now nothing , pos was included in the charging yet she useless the pos money ,
She was buying fuel without single profit , money budgeted for fuel got finish , she started using pos money to buy fuel.
She and her sales girl will on gen from morningy to night whether customer come or not.
Both her and sales girl na zero.

Did you authorised the employment of a sales person? If you did, then I would still fault you. For a small business, employing an extra sales eorskm is a big financial mistake. Did you clearly define your woman's responsibilities to her? I doubt!

Sirchiboy:
Earlier this year I open a pos and charging business.
I spent close to 1m plus,
I put the business under the management of this girl because I went for a program.
We made agreement she will be sending me so so money weekly from the business.
She only sent me money 3 times for the period of 6 months before this business crash.
Before this business crash , she never one day told me how the business is going ,
If I ask she told me the business is just new and it will stand soon.
Before I knew what was going on, she started telling me one excuse to another if I ask her for not sending me money weekly.
Just last week , she open up and told me the business had crash.
That she was lying to me not to feel bad.
She employ sales girl paying her and also employ bike man , paying the bike man too.
Choi, business when never stand, you don get personal bike man.
I said since the business is like that and you never made one kobo.
Sell everything in the shop and send back my money .
She said the reason the business never make headway was because of the use of gen.
That we should not sell the shop rather install solar.
That solar will cost 1m.
Fact about this shop , the shop has charging ,pos and selling of small phone parts.
She did not make profit from pos , she did not make profit from phone parts , she didnt make profit from charging.
So putting solar will make the business boom then I discover that if i ever get marry to this girl , I might regret the rest of my life.
This girl is just 22 years and from igbo.
She is from a very poor famili then my mind flash back may she has been sending my business money to his family

Your first mistake was employing your " financially illiterate girlfriend" to run your business "in your absence". Even though this has exposed her unruly behaviour and poor financial management skills, which is a big red flag, you also share in the blame.

It is always wise to start a business gradually. You ought to have started with one merchandise and if that blooms, you expand. Starting smalls helps you to understand your business dynamics and to cut losses if the business fails. Your second mistake was handing over a new business to someone who isn't business inclined or disciplined to run. You should have stayed to nurture the business before handing it over to a trusted person. Even business empires fail if mismanaged. Lastly if her report on poor power supplyn
is anything to go by, then that's yet another big mistake on your part. Setting up a business that requires electricity in an area with poor electricity supply is a highway to failure.

You could try again whenever you are available to run it yourself. Do a proper market survey and figure out the best location to set up, what to set up and how to set it up.


All the best!

Israel5:
Please (even though I know my appeal with fall on deaf ears too numerous to count in this forum), approach this issue with logic and without prejudice to the people involved.

My wife and I are duly blessed with a son who is in his basic 5 now. Also, we decided to get the daughter of one of my cousin to stay with us. She is one of 7 children. So I wanted to help raise a CHIMAMANDA.

As my rule, every child of same age under my room attends the same school and calls us Dad & Mum. The school part didn't quite seat well with my wife, who had a different opinion, but I prevailed anyway. Because na me dey pay school fees.

The girl is a year older than my son, but due to the level of education at the village before she came over, we made her be in the same class as my son. She met my son in primary 2. Now they are both in basic 5.

A shocker happened: This girl keeps coming up in the class, while my son keeps running away from the top. We've tried extra lessons, even tried changing schools. Now it looks as if the girl is better suited for school than my boy. She reads, spells and memorizes things too marvellous. I bought a dictionary cos of that.

I even buy gifts for her (for coming top) more than I do for my boy, to make him sit up, but my pikin nor send me o. Guy use cry & Woman power make me buy am bicycle. 😁

I would think he's being a spoilt boy, who believes daddy & mommy is there, I don't really know. But I am hopeful.

Now, my major issue is my heavily pregnant wife. She wants the girl to be changed/enrolled at a different school. In her defence, she wants her to be available to help her take care of things. The kid's school close by 3pm. She suggest government school that close earlier. I see sense in what she said but I feel like I'll be unfair to this young girl.

When I tried to have a healthy debate on the idea. Na so madam start to dey talk plenty tins wey I nor fit type.
I have accepted to do her wish from September for peace.

Please, do you see another way I could avoid problems?

Is she right to have asked that I changed the girl's school just because she needs help around the house & her business?

I think you should read books or take courses on child psychology or developmental psychology. I believe you are well suited on the tracks of ruining your family by comparing your son's academic success with that of his "sister". A little research would have brought to light that a girl child's brain develops faster than that of a boy at the early stage. By default, they develope fine motor skills faster, enabling them to read, write, memorise, socialize etc faster than the boys. The boys however, catch up much later in life and even do better.

What an exposed father would do is not to make comparison, but consolidate on his efforts and ve resilient. Some of the comments you dropped here seemed contradictory to what you said you had put in place to help your son perform better and honestly, that should put your wife under pressure as well to want to protect "her own".


Please do not draw vile conclusion on your son. Let him continue to get all the support he can get. Same should apply to your "daughter". Do not enroll her in a government school. Have a deep conversation with your wife. Apologize for all the vile comments you may have said in respect to your son's performance and reiterate your commitment.

Ebenezer2021:
what is it where is Area 51

It's a US government restricted area. People who have worked there and gone rogue have detailed facts such as the interrogation of aliens and onward transporting of these creatures to and out of our dimension via portals present there, prison cells for mermaids and further experiments on these creatures...

Kobojunkie:
My parents are aliens?😞😞😞
Yikes! The delusion must indeed be strong with you😩😩😩😩

MikeofKd:
So I'm not depressed or anything, I'm just really tired of everything these days , it's like a trap , I mean the circle of just everyday living.

It's getting really boring , social media is boring , work is boring , entertainment is boring , women are boring , friends are boring , life is boring asf. Every goddamn thing is boring.

Apart from sleep , drinking or smoking , how else can one escape reality ??

Mercury retrograde. You should feel better soonest.

Kobojunkie:
Aliens whom you have met, right?

I haven't really met your parents, so I doubt...

plaetton:
Funny how the supposed mermaids seem to be wearing bras.
I wonder who their fashion designer and dress maker is .

All the technologies we enjoy today were adopted from these aliens.

twilliamx:
They exist in the spiritual realm and make appearance in the physical from time to time, that is why they can be found in all cultures around the world. They call them sirens in some other culture and are known to lure sailors to their death with their beautiful singing. They put the sailors in a trance with their beauty and singing and once the sailors get mesmerized and close, then they strike and kill them

This is detailed and apt. Need I also add that they are in high demand by the "elites" courtesy of their mermaid parties, where these creatures are feasted on. Also, these creatures exist in a realm down down below the ocean and only come yo the surface to play or hunt. Ironically, they also exist in our midst because they can shape-shift. A movie detailed this.
Finally, Area 51 is heavily laced with these creatures.

EponObi:
Zero uniqueness of the product design. Dem just copy and pasted designs of existing brands. I wonder the price tag they will slam on these Chinko knockoffs now that them don pay Cubana for his influencing deal. Why would I buy their blender instead of getting Silvercrest - an established brand with lesser risk?

BTW, that woman need to hit the gym. Tightly wrapped stomach, the fat still dey overflow. Lmaoo

I agree with you on the looks. However, people rarely purchase products for their looks. The functionality and durability most times sells the products. You will agree with me that most juicers out there are not very much functional and durable. This may be the game changer.

NaijaNaWaa:
Obi Cubana too dey associate with cheap things. He may be a billionaire but he doesn’t have taste.

Cheap things? Would you be surprised if I told you that the CEO of Dee utensils is a billionair herself? Have you visited her chains of businesses in Abuja and Lagos? They are stores that only the creme de la creme can afford to buy from. There, you can find kitchen utensils worth close to a million and even more. Now that's one out of her many businesses. Before you spew, do your findings!.

It is refreshing to know that the winner-coach is from my state. Kudos to the winning team.

Jeweltz:
I introduced this guy to her in 2022. A year after he travelled to Canada 🇨🇦 on an express entry visa. I had interest in him before I introduced him to my friend tho I never told him the because he always talk about how he loves women with big ass, big this big that..so I knew I didn’t have a chance there. We were just cool and since he didn’t signify any interest in me, I play low.

So when he met my friend, she started doing too much around him, ask me if he can collect his number since I told her we were not dating, I said yes even when I didn’t like the idea.

Now they already broke up since he was in Canada and he stopped talking to her. She also told me how he’s very arrogant and all this all that.

So, now me and the guy were trying to rekindle our lost connection and I made it known to him that I actually have interest in him. He was okay with this. And it’s something I’ll be willing to explore if he came to Nigeria later this year.

My friend saw his message on my phone the other day when she was checking stuffs on my phone. He curiosity got the worst of her and she read through our iMessage chats. Since then she’s been refusing to talk to me. She talked to our other friends and no one listen to my side or the story.

You didn’t even know this guy, I do.

If you didn't stand a chance then, what makes you think you would now? Why do you want to set yourself up to be used and dumped?? Do we also talk about the fact that your friendship is on the line over a man who won't take you serious? Does the girl code mean nothing to you?

It's well!

You're asking the devil's minion if God exists?

Dogalmighty17:
The questions below are what my son a five year old in nursery two got asked in his exams. I don't think such is appropriate for that age.

This is what happens when missionary schools employ people without a sound background in education.

How are you asking a child in nursery two to list hospital tools for you? Or to mention types of religion? Nursery two! This is absurd.

I have long had reservations regarding the quality and standard of this particular school in question. The school has no culture of excellence and is staffed by absolute mediocres. Needless to say, my son will not continue in that school again.

As a teacher, I put it to you that these concepts have been taught and possibly backed up with excursions and audio-visual presentation (depending on the school's resources).

It isn't just a salt pandemic. Synthetic seasoning seem to be doing us a number.

Best practice is to use herbs such a oregano, thyme, parsley, cumin, cardamon, anise star, thyme, curry, black pepper, white pepper, rosemary, etc to enhance the taste and flavours in our meals. These herbs also double as medicine.


For native meals, we should opt for iru, ogiri, okpehe and daddawa. These are good prebiotics thst are super helpful to our gut health. Enhance taste and flavours using any of these along side Crayfish, good fish and you may not need to use so much seasoning.

Need I also state that you do need to add salt independently in your cooking. The bouillon cubes (maggi) that we have today are heavily laced with these.

StPete:
People will always paint themselves good and saints until you get to meet them in person. I don’t believe the OP is exactly what he portrays.

In any case, don’t be unwise when u love. If you don’t fork a girl you’re in a relationship with, she will NEVER rate you

There are good people out there, bro. It's just unfortunate that people tend to use us for the benefits that they can get and not for genuine friendship.

TechAI:
Hello, I will post this under this quote for security reasons:

I know you've had a couple of bad experiences, but they should not push you into a hasty decision in life.

Dating a woman you are 20 years older than, infact a 20 year old might be counterproductive. You seem not to have noticed the pattern in the few women you have had an encounter with. They all are in their explorative stage. They are may be ready for marriage, but believe they can settle for the best, so their current love interest is treated shabbily because there is a best man out there.


The situation with your 20 year old would be worst because she is still in her homegirl stage, a stage preceding the aforementioned stage. She is just starting life and chances are that you may suffer worst fate with her.


My advise for you is to slow down a bit. I know you are worried about being 40, but remember that age is just a number. It is better to marry late and be fulfilled than to rush in with a chameleon who would change colours later in life.


Spread your tentacles to get more options: Church/mosque/shrine(lol), work place, market, neighbourhood, social media...


All the best!

Cj4charles:
They not talking of management rise.... They are talking of standard Jollof rice which has never been calculated before

You can prepare a big pot of standard party jollof rice and peppered chicken with 15k

A mudu of rice- Not sure of the cost but let's pin it st 3500
Half a bottle of vegetable oil- not sure, but let's pun price at 1500
Seasoning and spices and herbs 1000
Pepper 500
Tatashe and bawa 2500
Fresh tomatoes 500
Sachet tomatoes 1000
1 kilo of chicken 5000

Total 15,500

Cutezt:
Well it has been confirmed that this person has withdrawn the money, so he is a theif.

9h, wow! Truly, he is.

Lifestone:
He's a cheat if he is sitting on someone else money, when he must have know that the money does not belong to him. OP should sall him out more until he returns what does not belong to him

Let me share my experience with you. Such transfer of 10k was done to my account some years back.I knew it was a mistaken transaction because I wasn't expecting any funds at that time. It wasn't my call to go to the bank, but I knew the bank would do the needful and that, they did. A lien was placed on my account and the amount was debited after some days.


My point is that, you don't expect this person to run a refund for you. The transaction does not carry your full name or phone number so he cannot do the needful

Cutezt:
Surprisingly, the person is not on Nairaland, not on Facebook or Twitter (at least not with that name), the account number too has not been posted on these platforms. As much as I want to get my funds back, I will also want to respect the person's privacy by not exposing the account details publicly, however,

if anyone can or wants to help me get the details of the recipient, please send a DM here or mail me on contact@martinsmorris.com.ng

@nlfpmod please help out.

Can you take down his name, please? Be has not been ruled on as a scammer, it was your mistake, so there isn't any point putting out his details here. A future probe into his name would bring this thread to life and you know that most Nigerians don't read, so he may be brandished as a cheat.
