All lies...the TRUTH is that Fashola was disloyal to the president and it is Tinubu himself who doesn't want him. Moreover, there is nothing particularly special about Fashola. Under Buhari he was not outstanding |

Politics › Re: The Return Of Subsidy VS Subsidy Removal. Where Do You Stand. by kenben(m): 4:15pm On Sep 29 |
I have not gained anything since subsidy was removed. No light, no roads, no security. Just empty talk and fake promises.
They say "Governors have more money" abeg how does that affect me?
The hardship is terrible. If you earn 100k monthly, half of it goes to transportation, minus feeding, house rent, medical bills, school fees etc
But how many Nigerians even earn 100k in a nation where the minimum wage is 70k?
PLEASE BRING BACK SUBSIDY IMMEDIATELY. |

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Erisco Foods Limited Job Recruitment (6 Positions) by kenben(m): 4:01pm On Jul 22 |
Nefort: Are they proven observations or brand tarnishing just to create content? Whatever you call it, the response of the company was poor, shameful, toxic and a disgrace to their brand. It was a disproportionate response. See how we are online discussing not the product, but the excessive response of the company. The issue will continue to define their reputation for a long time. Personally, after that incident I have avoided all their products. If you give me, I will give it out! |

Romance › Re: Stop Marrying The Woman You Love. Marry The Woman Who's Useful by kenben(m): 1:02pm On Jul 20 |
AccidentedCars: This will offend a lot of people.
But the men who are actually winning at life and relationships know exactly what I'm about to say.
Love is not a business strategy.
And marriage, whether you like it or not, is a business.
Two people merging finances. Sharing rent. Splitting decisions about schools, food, healthcare, family obligations, career moves.
That's a partnership. A merger. A joint venture.
And you would NEVER enter a joint venture with someone based purely on how they make you feel when the room is dark and the music is playing.
Yet that's exactly how most Nigerian men choose wives.
"I love her."
Great. Does she have a skill? A source of income? A plan? Can she manage money? Does she understand that ₦200,000 in Abuja in 2026 disappears before the month ends?
"I love her."
Okay. What happens when you lose your job? When the contract ends? When business goes dry for 3 months?
Does she have something she can activate to hold the house down while you recover? Or is the plan just "God will provide"?
"I love her."
I hear you. I loved someone once.
Let me tell you what happened.
I was with a girl for over a year. Beautiful girl. Kind heart. The type of person who would give you her last meal if you asked.
But she had no skill. No trade. No income. No hustle.
Her entire economic identity was ME.
When I was making money, we were fine. The house was good. Groceries were stocked. Fuel was in the generator. Life was beautiful.
Then I had a bad quarter. Two deals fell through. Cash flow dried up for about 6 weeks.
I didn't go broke. I had savings. But things got tight.
And the MOMENT things got tight, I realized something terrifying:
I was carrying two lives on one back.
Not because she was lazy. She wasn't. She was willing to do anything.
But "willing" and "able" are two different words.
She didn't have a skill that someone would pay for. She didn't have a network she could leverage. She didn't have a side hustle she could activate during emergencies.
She had willingness. Which is useless without capability.
Those 6 weeks nearly broke the relationship. Not because of fighting. Because of WEIGHT.
I felt heavy. Every morning. Like I was wearing a suit made of concrete.
Because I knew that if I didn't figure something out fast, two people would suffer, not one.
After that experience, I made a decision.
The next woman I commit to must bring something to the table that isn't love.
Love is the MINIMUM. Not the qualification.
The qualification is: can you hold this house down if I fall?
Here's what that looks like in practice.
I have a friend. Let's call him T.
T married a woman who runs a small skincare business from Instagram. She makes about ₦300,000 to ₦450,000 a month. Not massive. But consistent.
Last year, T's business hit a wall. A major client defaulted. He lost about ₦4 million in receivables over 3 months.
Most men in that situation would spiral. Borrow money. Take on bad deals out of desperation. Fight with their wives about expenses.
T didn't do any of that.
Because his wife's ₦300k-₦450k per month covered the essentials. Rent was already paid. She handled groceries. She handled the children's school runs. She handled utilities.
T had SPACE. Space to think. Space to restructure. Space to recover without destroying himself.
By the fourth month, he'd landed a new contract. Bigger than the one he lost.
He told me later:
"If I'd married the girl I was 'in love with' at 25 instead of the woman I chose at 30, I would have been finished. Because that girl at 25 had nothing but vibes. This woman at 30 had a business."
That's the difference.
A wife with a skill is not an insult to your masculinity. It's insurance for your household.
A wife who can hold things together during your worst quarter is worth more than a wife who looks perfect during your best year.
Now, someone will read this and say:
"So you don't believe in love?"
I believe in love the way I believe in fuel. Fuel is necessary. You can't drive without it.
But fuel without an engine is just liquid sitting in a jerry can.
Love without utility is just feelings sitting in a relationship going nowhere.
I want both. The love AND the engine.
But if you make me choose, I'm choosing the engine.
Because the engine can take me somewhere even when the fuel is low.
Feelings can't do that.
I'm in a better place now financially. I made 1.2 million from a single deal last month. Took about 4 hours of real work spread across a few weeks. The rest was waiting.
But I remember those 6 weeks when cash was tight. And I will NEVER put myself in a position where my household has one engine again.
Two incomes. Two skill sets. Two people who can carry the weight.
That's architecture.
Build a house with two pillars, not one. May God continue to bless you sir. Truth is bitter, love is blind, sapa is the eye opener |
Entertainment › Re: Late Favour Agbro Rocking Two Guys In The Club by kenben(m): 8:39am On Jul 18 |
You haven't really made any sense with your self righteous pontificating. A twenty year old woman is an adult. I know some people who got their masters at 20. Moreover, you talk of "family" falls short in the face of the grinding poverty that prevails in Nigeria.
Facts of the matter: did the beast rape her? YES
Did she take her life? YES
Weda she go club ooo abi she shake ass oooo, she was deceived, manipulated, raped and ended up committing suicide.
Trying to make the deceased look deserving of their unfortunate plight only means that you should check your conscience and question the flow of the proverbial milk of human kindness within your system! |

Moreover, just take it from me: you are not the only one bro. These type sef dey Sabi nag ehhh.
Right now, she doesn't need a relationship. What she needs is space and time to grow up! And with women like her, that growth only come through several life's experiences.
In the meantime, if you are honest with yourself, you go see say you no really need that girl right now based on how e be |
