If they ask an average nigerian why there is hunger in the land, they will say it is Gen z.

Same Gen z are the hardest worker in all generation.

Good morning and a happy weekend to every Nairalander out there..... Hope everyone is doing just fine?

Just this morning,the sad news about the demise of my neighbor who's an okada rider broke out....A young man who was in his early 30's....He had barely finished balancing the motorcycle which he took on a higher purchase price three weeks ago........And we even drank and celebrated with him when the original particulars of the motorcycle were handed over to him.... This was someone whom we joked and laughed as at yesterday morning before I left for my shop,while he also left for his transport work....

Before now,he spoke about him being fed up with the okada work....And how he planned to leave it anytime soon,but had wanted to open a provision shop for his wife....

Now,the real gist about his whole life was that he left behind 5 kids and a wife......All through the times we spent together as neighbors, he was a very hardworking man whom never relented or gave up on his responsibilities as a man....While most of us who were equally into the transportation business were resting,this guy was always on the road, hustling......... Sometimes,whenever we came across each other on the road,there was a popular Mama-Put joint where we used to usually buy beans and yam,and most times just chill up and gist ,I would joke with him like--"Oga Mike,eat better food , because na you dey work the money". But he would shrug it off, saying he can't, because his family were at home and it won't be nice if he should eat without them....

This guy never wore nice clothes......He lived his entire life solely on how to put food on his family table while neglecting his own self.......There were times when even to buy ordinary paracetamol,he wouldn't buy it, because he believed that money could be used for something else.......

Tho we've mourning but I find it quite amusing and confusing on why a man would live his life, being victimized by the responsibilities that falls upon him as a man....

Dear men, please take care of yourself.....Do not fall victims to the pressure that comes along with being a father.....Tho it's comprehensible that as a Father,it's your role to take care of your home.....But you can as well do that without losing your life in the process...... Because when you're gone,the same family whom you were toiling and hustling your asss up just to feed and shelter,they will move on with their lives and just within a matter of time, you'll be forgotten

I stopped reading when I saw 5 kids.


How is an okada rider haver 5 kids?

What these monarchs have done is 10x worse than what Mandy is attempting.

Dog wey go lost no go hear hunter whistle.

Why man go carry himself go him younger sister marital home?

Na juju?

This is one of the reasons I stopped talking to a half sister and ironically, she too has stopped calling me because I stopped calling her.

But in my own case, I have not invested too much on her. But it really hurts because when I was giving, not just money o, I did not have much. I was literally giving out of nothing I had and was happy doing that thinking I was helping a family member.

It really opened my eyes.

You are ungrateful.

Beerbeer:
We are four siblings in my family: two boys who are twins and two girls. When my mum passed, my elder sister stood in as a parent for us. She paid for our university education and sent us monthly allowances for feeding. In fact, three of us would have dropout if not for her. Even when I graduated from school, she was still sending me 30k every month, pending when I get a job. This is in addition to also sending same to my siblings and my father. She has done this for close to 10 years without complaint.

Recently, I finished a project that paid me 2.1 million. This is how I spent the money:
I gave 500k to my church to thank them for getting me the job.
300k to my father.
100k to my stepmum.
100k to my second sister.
Bought 700k laptop to help with my coding job.
I used the rest to pay rent, change my wardrobe, clearance from school, and feeding.

My elder sister found out from my twin brother and got angry because I didn't tell her anything about the job or the money. She was also angry because I didn't set aside money for my twin brother going to law school this year.

To be honest, I didn't think it was a big deal to tell her. I knew my twin was in safe hands cos she was already handling that so I didn't bother. Before now, she had already paid the law school fees (about 500k). So I thought it was settled. I tried to reason with her but she refused to hear.

She was also angry I didn't tell her about the laptop. I knew I messed up here because she was the one that encouraged me to pick up coding and even bought my first laptop. I told her I wanted to finalize everything but it made her angry tye more. She blocked me and I also found out she blocked everyone else including our father.

All these happened in April. I thought she would calm down by now. But I just discovered that she has moved out of our state without telling anyone. She has blocked all the numbers we tried to reach her.

My twin brother said she only sends him allowance for law school (100k every month) and has blocked his number so he won't contact her. He is the only person she sends money to now as she has stopped giving us as before.

I am so confused. Why is she acting like this? Shouldn't she be happy for me? Nairalanders help me.

I insulted you earlier and I got banned but I will say again that you are ungrateful.


And you should be very ashamed of yourself.


You should bury your head in the sand.

This is sad.

E get vendor wey dey sell the kind top wey the guy dey wear for here?

You don't owe anyone any explanation.

Do what makes you happy so long you're not hurting anyone.

Yeah sorry a Queue is better, because a constant check is wasteful great job too. What language is this though, however most Queues are language agnostic i think

PHP/Laravel.

These people have not even used their abido shaker!

I have this project I am working on where posts can be locked until a certain time.

I also have a scheduler running every minute to check the locked_until, a db column that stores the time the post will be unlocked.

So when the time elapses, the post will be auto unlocked.

Now the issue is, I don't want the scheduler running every minute. Is it possible to optimize this and how?

@qtguru

So I found the answer and it's very simple. I can't believe I did not think of this.

So while locking the post, I can just queue the unlock for the locked_until time. So when the locked_until elapses, it fires the queue and the post is unlocked. No more every minute schedular checks

Thanks everyone!

Spain can gaddiforrkout!

qtguru:
run a cron job the OS handles it very well and doesn't need to be part of your application. But every minute is too much though, why do you need to check that often ?

Say I have 100 posts locked for a specific period of time, I don't know or need to how long the posts are locked or how long until they get unlocked so the cron just do that for me. Hence, the every minute check

Post lock and unlock is something continual, something similar to how banning and unbanning works on NL.

Egusi soup and rice isn't weird actually. I enjoy it.

I eat black soup with rice, yam and eba. Love it!

Bread and coconut is another combo I like.

What the hell!

Some years ago, they would have said it's a 666 sign.

Which provision. Provision is tangible and visible. If it didn’t Dey it didn’t Dey.

I think I need to apologize to women for thinking they are emotional.

Everytime a bad dad is called out, men come out en mass to defend him citing funny reasons.

I remember the number of insults I received on Twitter when I said a man should be present in his kids life whether he provides or not.

I saw how they were all crashing out when a lady called them out for not attending their kids end of year parties.

Yesterday night. I over clean it sef, it is addictive and I love the sensation.

I think those Docs that say the ear self cleans are full of sheet.

There are professionals whose job is to clean ears and I have never seen any of them complain of any issue. Some use these services regularly.

The world we knew has really changed.

I remember when I was new to Nairaland, then there were lots of stories like this. I just visited the literature section and its dry.

People are now into video contents because it is what these platforms reward because it is what people love.

Time has changed!

A piece of face wipe will reveal the monstrosities behind those makeup.

Hbd tho

Her hairline is great.
Her face shape is great.
Her dental is good too.
Her nose shape is very good for an african.

Even if you wipe off the makeup, she'll still be a 8 in the midst of women with no makeup and some with makeup.

All these in a person, not just a woman, in her 50s is not what I see everyday.

Let's just appreciate beauty for once my boss. It's a quiet saturday morning.

Her facial features are good for a 51 year old person.

Beautiful!

By default, your environs will massively determine how successful you will be.

We say this and some people will come here to talk about their love and loyalty to a country that neither loves them, nor is loyal to them.

This can't happen to me.

But if I were this guy, I'd adopt the girl.

Oyinbo women and black men are match made in heaven in perversion.

Na only we fit match them and na only them fit match us.
