One way

McLizbae:
Nice! Yorubas seem to tame religion bigotry better than the other Nigerian tribes. You will find Inter-religious marriages more among yorubas.

The northern muslims remains the worst bigots.

Yes our exposure and education is one reason why we could bear with each other

Kizzygentle:
So why then was she given an office? Or u think I just cine out to say what I'm saying

Do u really know the meaning of ceremonial office?do u know the difference of honorary degrees maybe u would get it clearly....its a portfolio that holds no official duty but presides over ceremonial duties..if she has official duty she should be attending fec meetings na

Sadly Tinubu didn't give this guy appointment after all his asslicking.

Yul edochie is currently asslicking the drug lord for a juicy appointment. Unfortunately, the same fate awaits him, he'll be ignored by the drug lord

Modified: if you quote me to say rubbish, you'll be ignored. Make sure your Brain is intact before quoting me

Billionaire Warren Buffett is known for his frugal lifestyle, living in a modest home, driving an older car and favoring a diet of McDonalds and Coca-Cola. America’s poor and middle class could learn a few things from the Oracle of Omaha.

Consider these 11 things Warren Buffett has suggested that poor people, and even many middle-income earners, will waste money on in 2024. With a little planning, you can avoid these financial pitfalls and set yourself up for a wealthier 2024.

Could Your Silver Dollar Make You a Millionaire? Discover the 8 Most Valuable Ones

Your Home
If you’re in the market for a house in 2024, keep Warren Buffett’s lifestyle in mind. The billionaire once said, “The cost of living does not equate to the standard of living. I wouldn’t live better if I had 8 houses, if I had a 400-foot yacht.”

He bought his house in Omaha 55 years ago for $31,500, andYe despite his billions in earnings, hasn’t seen a reason to move. “It’s warm in the winter, it’s cool in the summer, it has everything I wanted. Plus, it has all kinds of good memories.”

While Buffett’s 6,750-square-foot, five-bedroom home is not small by any means, he could have purchased something much more extravagant.

In a YouTube video by Investor Weekly, the narrator pointed out, “If the initial purchase meets your needs and brings satisfaction, do you really need a bigger, costlier home?”

New Cars
Warren Buffett drove a 2006 Cadillac DTS until 2014, according to the video. He then bought a Cadillac XTS in 2014. But it’s more than the money that keeps Buffett away from newer vehicles.

He explained in a shareholders’ meeting, “It would take me probably half a day to go through the exercise of buying a car and reading the owner’s manual and all that. And that’s just a half a day I don’t want to give up in my life for no benefit.”

If your older car is still working and you aren’t pouring money into repairs, put that time and money into something that will help you earn more money, instead.

Car and Home Maintenance
Learning how to do basic repairs on your home and car can save you money and keep your vehicle on the road longer. “Master basic DIY skills that could potentially save you money on repairs and tweaks,” the Investor Weekly narrator said.

Similarly, he said, “Finding value in making the most of your current home can be cost effective.”

Dining Out
It’s no secret that eating out can take a huge bite out of your budget. GOBankingRates recently reported that a steak dinner cooked at home can cost less than even a cheap fast-food meal.

Similarly, the cost of meeting friends for happy hour adds up. Instead, Investor Weekly recommended hosting small gatherings at home.

Credit Card Expenditures
Warren Buffett uses cash everywhere, according to multiple sources. In the 2014 Berkshire Hathaway annual report, Buffett noted, “When bills come due, only cash is legal tender. Don’t leave home without it.”

Credit card purchases can get you into financial trouble because it’s easy to lose track of how much you spend. Perhaps more important, carrying a balance costs a lot of money. According to The Motley Fool, Buffett once said in a news release, “Interest rates are very high on credit cards. Sometimes they are 18%. Sometimes they are 20%. If I borrowed money at 18% or 20%, I’d be broke.”

Gambling
Gambling in casinos or even purchasing lottery tickets may seem tempting. The chance of winning millions in minutes can entice you to place bets that you shouldn’t.

“Buffett’s approach teaches us that success lies in making thoughtful, informed choices,” the Investor Weekly video noted.

Gambling, whether it’s on stocks for companies you don’t understand or blackjack tables at a casino, rarely pays off.

Risky Investments
“Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing,” Buffett has been quoted as saying. The billionaire investor has also said, “Never invest in a business you cannot understand.”

Always research a business before you invest in its stock, and don’t be afraid to seek the help of a financial advisor if you are new to investing.

The Latest Gadgets
Warren Buffett didn’t upgrade his flip phone until 2020, when he finally purchased an iPhone, according to Investor Weekly. Before buying the latest gadget, decide if your current devices, appliances or other tools still fit your needs.

Low-Quality Products
“Price is what you pay; value is what you get,” Buffett once said in a Berkshire Hathaway shareholder letter. While he doesn’t need the latest or greatest car or phone, he does ensure his purchases will last. “Whether we’re talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down.”

Wasteful Purchases
Even an item that represents a tremendous value may be a poor financial decision if you don’t need it. “If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need,” Buffett once said, according to Investor Weekly.

If you have extra cash, consider increasing your retirement savings or making an investment in a high-value stock that pays dividends rather than filling your home with more stuff.

Unused Subscriptions
A survey by Forbes Home recently revealed that 47% of Americans pay for streaming services they don’t use. If you glance over your bank statements, it’s likely you’ll find a few subscriptions, whether it’s a streaming service or a gym membership, that you don’t use. These costs can add up.

“Unused subscriptions often grow to become financial pitfalls for many Americans,” said the Investor Weekly video.

As we step into 2024, it’s a good time to evaluate your budget and trim any unnecessary expenses, including unused subscription services.

Final Note
A common thread runs through Buffett’s advice: Live within your means, don’t spend money you don’t have, and don’t spend money on things you don’t need.

Of course, it’s okay to treat yourself once in a while. But make sure your purchases align with your financial goals and will enhance your life in the long term.

So her role as the wife of the president is to always welcome new year babies... Lols.. Bro go and sit down please.. She is meant to have influence on ther husband's administration as a 1st lady after all she was given an office..

Go and fact check office of the first lady is ceremonial

Kizzygentle:
Is that why u are the 1st lady?What u and yiur husband is suppose to do, una never do am.. U guys should fix the country and stop attracting emotional Nigerians to yourselves.. May the child be blessed and free from your evil hands..

Sincerely u area kid so what do u expect a first lady to do ?have u seen other first ladies including that of military before?den u will know what her role is during the first day of the year 🐥

Seun:
Fellow Nairalanders,

I'm pleased to wish you a Happy New Year!!

2024 will be the year of Nairaland's resurgence. I will face Nairaland squarely like I used to before the discouraging Data Loss Incident of 2014. I will hire more hands to help us to improve Nairaland.

The problems of Nairaland that we should have solved years ago will be solved.

* We will defeat tribalists, trolls, & spammers.
* We will complete our advertising platform.
* We will improve the UI and UX.
* Home page topics will be educative & fresh.

However, I must warn you that things will get worse before they get better. Please stand with us and fight for u as Nairaland faces the tough challenges of 2024, which have already started.

Happy New Year and thanks for using Nairaland!

Seun Osewa,
Nairaland's Founder.

How do u intend to defeat tribalism?u want to do it like what u did for islam ? that will be partiality and allow responses but check use of derogatory languages

CameroonPepper:
Most respectful tribe in the world indeed
Hypocrites

I pain u cos u mo hear say olamide use leg kick the king like ur own people would do the ones older than them

The next time wike comes for u.. just know u are a gunner

Nackzy:
that's not possible sir, our major security problem is in the North and south east, they can employ more hands then deploy them to strategic regions

Yes i know they can bring in more hands but u can't deploy all ur forces to a region it's not wise enough

Hurbashola:
I swear

Dirty thoughts

IjebuWarrior:
These fools should STOP all dis nonsense in this new year, abeg! This Olamide too dey do dis nonsense too much.

Why do we adulate and celebrate these criminals?

Which of ur father is a criminal

Nackzy:
Omo i don see shege banza i am the eldest and poorest, good abeg ooo, the fight we had few days ago was that my mum respect them more than me, na today my papa settle the fight

I pray God will lift ur head up and bless ur pocket but ur mom is doing the wrong thing tides do change

Zico5:
Go and read the news online. Oluomo is being positioned to take over as national chairman of NURTW. I just got the news now. Relegate Oluomo at ur own peril.

If he was positioned for it why not make him first before stepping down.. forget baba won cut mc power ni too much of his laulau

Nackzy:
So why can't they relocate all these army personnel that use to oppress Civilians to go inside those bushes and fish the terrorist out, because all I know is that they stay in bushes then come out to attack people at night, or better still use drone to know their location and how to counter whatever they plan

When it is not a war zone and its never tactical for u to deploy all ur forces to one region if u do and the enemy seize that opportunity to take other sides what will u do?

Obi should say he is the prisoner of his failed ambition that has kept him and his obidients in prison of agony

StrongAlphMale:
Unfortunately, most Yoruba people are wishing for Tinubu to resign for Obi to take over. Sadly hunger has reset their brians.

Obi is the most respected politician currently in Africa. Man is too much

Stop lieing

Seefinish:
Nothing special. A Dry speech, a speech that lack substance.

Maybe u dont even know what substance u are expecting thats why u say it lacks it

Karlovych:
Yet he still drank ratak

U were there when he drank it abi

orohbirodeysmel:
Men wey no get shame...

Karlovych:
This is what Awo the backstabbing bigot taught his people, these people should realize that envy and hatred can only lead to ratak

Awo that did far above ur azikwe is the one that his children will now envy those who actually were the bigots greedy set of people..tah
