Reference:
Reformation is never a cake walk. I expect any serious government trying to control cash in circulation to do exactly this. For how can you be practicing a cashless policy yet have almost 80 percent of currency outside the banking system. That is untracked money, that is an economy within an economy. No government will accept that.

However the fact is that as long as institutions remain weak particularly those of the criminal justice system, shock therapy remains the only tool of government. For there are all sorts of laws that are serially broken for that amount of cash to have leached out of the central bank in the first place and the fears are real that if our laws can or will not be enforced wen the new currency will sooner or later find us way back to private 'central banks'.

Whatever we suffer today is of our collective making. Nigerians are by and large not ready or able to organize ourselves into a viable, progressive society.

Personally this is one incident that has affected me, perhaps not as much as others, but I cannot bring myself to complain about it because I know it is all a product of bad citizenship of which I am a Nigerian, just as I cannot complain about pesky police check points when I know my fellow citizens will exploit their absence to commit all manner of crimes if which I may become a victim.

Fellow citizens, if we don't restructure Nigeria we will suffer until our time on earth is over. My two cents.

Apt.

Though, for me the meat of the issue is things like "Patriotism" and a sense of "National Pride".. are not existing in this country..
An average Nigerian will rather die in a foreign country than die in his home town.

That speaks volumes.

Those other countries are not performing magic. What we can do is stop electing unpatriotic leaders.

Nigerians.. always at the last minute they start gyrating like the proverbial tortoise.

And just when I'm already starting to like the man's cashless policy.
Tinubu should fvck off. He can't always win.

Get past questions for every semester exams. You'd be surprised how often lecturers repeat exam questions.

Pay your school fees and dues on time. Don't wait till deadline.

Make friends with the class rep and have his number. Join WhatsApp groups for updates.

Make friends with those coursemates who always seem to have a lot of information and keep yourself informed for opportunities both before and after graduation.

Find a girlfriend that you both enjoy reading and going to classes together during tests and exams. (This is optional, though).

Visit your lecturers in their offices occasionally and salute them.

Don't move off campus until at least 300 level.

She's probably tightening her vagina muscles with her legs. Make her more relaxed with loads and loads of foréplay.

But they will always find a loophole won't they?
The thieving politicians will easily go to the bank vaults, liaise with crooked branch managers and collect all the new monies available.

The result is that they're making it scarce for ordinary Nigerians.

Still it's the same set of idiots that will come out begging for extension under the irritating guise of caring for masses in the villages.

Guess no one bothered to run a Google search on the image.
It's a fake notice... College kid pranks.

ahnie:

Who do you like this?
Today you re a single mother, tomorrow your down with swollen legs and limbs,day after next,you have malaria n down with typhoid.

Your hand go break of you work?
Dem swear for you?

She totally disgusts me. It's been over a year now and she still does that day in day out.

gforce5:
OP, you are wasting your time. The problem is Nigerian men. Most of them are SIMPS who have zero standards. They have a saviour complex. They are attracted to women from poor backgrounds because they feel that they can dominate them with their money. Women from upper class and middle class backgrounds pose a threat to their dominance. Most Nigerian guys have zero game and can't get women without money. They refuse to develop themselves physically, socially and intellectually.

Nigerian men marry based on sentiment rather than logic. Nigerian women are more realistic and logical. They go for men who they feel will take care of them and their family. They will NEVER marry a man who cannot even feed himself. Nigerian men on the other hand, are willing to marry an illiterate 17 year old orphan and sponsor her all the way to uni. When said girl dumps their ass for a better man, they rant on social media that women are ingrates . Nigerian men have forgotten that in Nigerian culture, when you marry someone you marry the whole family. Now imagine marrying someone from a very poor family who is also their breadwinner ? Our ladies are cashing out on the benevolence of our brothers due to their naivety.

Strongalphamale is that you? I hear you in there somewhere..

What a fool, you're obviously inexperienced. You think life is lived behind your keyboard and computer screen?

Listen, any well-to-do man will choose a 17 year old orphan girl (even 2 at once) over a rich 35 year old lady, over and over again. Ask the married men who cheat on their wives with the young house maid. Or better still, check your history books.. that's what real men did... they conquered nations and married young virgins. So now you need to go over your little redpill books again or ask someone older than you to explain what "simp" means so you can stop embarrassing yourself and throwing the word around like someone down with epilepsy.

Having a savior complex is a good sign that as a man.. you're living up to your masculine role. You have enough resources to find a damsel in distress and save her and she becomes yours and no one dares come close to her. This has been the case throughout history and a kid like you can't do shit about it.

You think you have game? I'll take your woman, anytime any day. You don't know shit about dominance.. forget all those how-to-books you've read online on how to get women. Bîtch.. dominance is the key word here. If you can't dominate a woman, you can never get her to respect you, sleep with you or be loyal to you, talk more of marrying her.. unless she's really desperate or a prostituté. Or you're the bîtch and she's controlling you.

You dare take a swipe at the absolute need for dominance by a man in a relationship. Hahahah... little wonder you all want a rich woman.. bunch of effeminate pvssies..

Look, forget about this equality shit.. a man must dominate and woman must submit. Men have natural roles that have always put them in the dominant position while women have feminine roles that have always put them in submissive positions with regards to their men and families. If you dare reverse these roles or you even as much as "equalize" them, guess what you will have... Yep you guess right.. effeminate men and dominant females.

This brings me back to my question.. why the hell do you want a rich woman? You want a sugar mummy, you like being dominated? Or you want a middle class girl because you want someone who can ease your financial burden.. I hear you say yes to that. Well that's cool, but as long as you understand the dynamics at play here.. Don't ever make the mistake to think such a girl will be naive (or remain so for very long). Instead she'll be very experienced and ruthless. She will know your strengths, financially and otherwise and will use it against you.. overtime she will eventually dominate you. It will be a gradual, slow and emasculating process but it will happen.. unless you get your finances right.

I'm telling you straight up facts that you'll learn eventually after you've been burned many a time in this dating world.. they're universal facts that even though I may admit are not really fair, but then again it is what it is.
Deviate though and be sure to face the accompanying consequences.

So let me paint you the real story..
Funny enough.. it's you who can't even get the poor broke girls that's looking for rich girls. Lol. Listen, to get a rich girl you must be very good looking (like me) or be very very super rich which I'm sure you're neither. Because such girl, based on female nature, will never date down. They'd rather remain single. (This is just to put it out there that I'm not even attracted to these types).

So that leaves us with the poor broke girls. Now, me and my caliber of men have taken all the good broke girls. So what does that leave you with? The prostitutés, hookup girls and broke girls with bad attitude.

So understand that you're the simp here, the bîtch.. the bottom guy.

No wonder you complain every single day about girls.

DispatcherLagos:
Real soldiers not this taxi drivers that wears camouflage here in Nigeria.

Dispatcherlagos, pls check your dm.

Personally I hate the bag.. it makes one look like a lowlife, criminal. What are you carrying as a guy that can't fit into your four pockets?

Although they would've stated their reasons. Apart from personal dislike, I don't see reason for the ban.

She caught her boss with her colleague, then came back to collect her own share.. So she prolly was already having an affair with the man and only came back to confront him out of jealousy.

As for rape... Nah!
As far as it was just one man without a weapon, what stops you from grabbing his scrotum till he starts to cry? You allowed him till he finished and even gave you money for postinor 2 which you collected.

Definitely don't believe this entire write up.

Obi is well adjusted.. relaxed and rooted in himself.
No gragra or any wasted behavior. Unlike some agbero cum politicians.

If we miss this man, we miss out.

Have you tried a funerals or divorce courts?

Sweetvie:
Lol... Ok, I got that. It was not meant as a compliment though.

Thanks!

Nice one. Respect.

Sweetvie:
Interesting!
@bolded
Atleast, you're one of the few guys on Nl that have sense.
Well, I'm going to stop here
Your choice of partner is really interesting.

Best of luck!

@ bolded is really insulting.. I get what you're trying to say, but next time put it in a better way.

Anyway, best of luck to you, too.

Why send a girl transport to come and meet you? Asin I don't get the rationale behind this.

When you can just pick her up?
Abi na olosho matters ..

.

Sweetvie:
Lol... You're very interesting.
Impressive!
But I don't concur... I mean, when you're married come back and tell me how it's going.

That's mean, you have to state your condition before you marry coz not every girl enjoy being a full housewife.
@bolded
I don't get... Innocent girls are broke?
Lol, they don't have hand? Can you explain what you mean? Or you think every girls do hookup?

I state my conditions before I date sef. I date to marry and not just for the sake of dating.

To make money you need cunning and a host of other unforgiving skills. A girl still in her phase of innocence does not have what it takes to make money. It's not just about physically having hands.

And a girl in that phase is the ideal for men. If she's made the money before I met her.. oops. She's late. She's already done too much. I'll be getting some masculine vibes from her. It's not like I don't date them... I have. Just not something I enjoy.

If she has to ask first, then she's arrived at the wrong destination.

Sweetvie:
Lol... What you stated up there have nothing to do with high value men.
Who told you broke girls are innocent?
You don't want your girl to do a shit? Life is dynamic... Little change, she is out there exchanging her body for money coz she can't cope with the broke you. Why do you think divorce is common nowadays? When you're married you'll understand why your girl need to work. You're in Nigeria, right?
Have you checked the history of those who doesn't let their girl (wife) do a shit... How their marriage life turned out to be, have you?
Do you think most girls working out there don't want to be a baby girl and be taken care of also? But you don't need life to slap you in face before you do the normal thing.
Sitting around waiting for guy money is rubbish to me... I don't know about other girls but I can't cope.

Just pray to meet a girl who love you for you... That's just the simple fact.

Personally, telling me to sit down at home and do nothing all day is like you want to gimme depression... When am not sick,lol
Like, something happens and am able to withdraw enough cash from my bank to solve it, able to support my partner, go to shopping, buy the latest stuff, treat myself to something nice and do all sort of stuff with my own money make me feel really proud of myself.

I said innocent girls are broke. I never implied all broke girls are innocent..

A man who hasn't secured his finances has not accomplished anything reasonable in life. I can never go broke. I may lose all my money.. but then I'll just do what I did before and get back on track. I will not expect my woman to go and toil and bring money home to me.. while I do what exactly?

I want my woman's skin to remain as fresh as possible for me always, looking well kept and beautiful like a true princess that she is. I don't even care if my woman loves me.. what's more important is that I'm able to love and cherish her while she gets more beautiful by the day. I don't want anything from her.

Why does she need a job.. to keep herself busy? When she has me, that's absurd. I'll be every damn thing she needs in this world.

She has no problems to solve whatsoever because I've solved all of them. She doesn't need to treat herself to anything because I've arranged for the greatest treat of her life. She'd be the most comfortable woman in the world.
There would always be interesting and mind-blowing things to do while spending quality time with my woma.

Why would she enter that hot sun and be hustling for change..? Money which you won't even spend on the home upkeep but just majorly on yourself.? Risking yourself out there in the outside world.
Is it about defiance now? I don't get, but you see these are the kind of things you won't see from inexperienced girls. They appreciate whatever their man provides and stay at home.

There's a kind of money that's not healthy for a woman to control.. else her relationship with her man will suffer. It may sound unfair or one sided to you, but it is what it is.. and anyone who refuses to accept what is only has himself to blame when the consequences bear fruit.

Gospel2Day:


You have problem with money, if you are willing to forgo brotherhood because of cheap profit.
Why not advise your brother to change his supplier so he can sell at cheaper price?
Sometimes, we must choose to lose money in order to retain brotherliness.
You don't know what can happen to you tomorrow, and they will send your kids to live with him.
The seed you sow now will determine whether your children will suffer or enjoy at his hand/house.
Tell him that you're only buying from him simply because he is your brother and not because it is the best price available to you.
And that you may not patronize him next time.

He's aware of these prices I'm taking about, he's only after his own profit.. and rightly so since he got me the connect.

Timmi:


You have been fully paid before supplying the product? What a huge contract indeed.

I've been fully paid for the supply. There's still other pending payments including workmanship.

Emotionss:
[color=#006600][/color]


Op have you considered that the reason your brother is adamant with his price is because he is testing your loyalty ?

Has it occurred to you that your brother will probably refund some capital back to you at the end of the transaction ?

Don't allow greed and instant gratification blind you from seeing the bigger picture.

I never thought of it that way.. but I now believe this may very well be the case. Thanks, I appreciate this.

AdaAwka1:


If he had give the contract to someone else, u wouldn't have the opportunity you have now and he would still get his cut from that person.

True bro. He's deserves to make this supply.... and he'll get it.

GboyegaD:


Is the price he is selling it to you the price he is selling it to others? Was he the one who gave you your price quotation for the contract?

Truly I've seen him sell cheaper than what he's giving me.. especially when he really needed the cash.

I already know the average prices of the materials, I gave the quotation for the contract myself.

Bonjovi13:


I worry for you.
Why did you reach out to his supplier?
Your brother may have sidelined some contractors who would have gladly accepted any deal he offered to get the contract.
He got you in. Now you are concerned with how much he will make from the supply. You were prolly mellow before you got paid. Now the money is in your hands, you can't eat and allow him eat.
You will learn that building and maintaining relationships is better than money. How long will the money you made last. You will want another supply. Its a small world and people are watching what you do.

How would I last in this business if I don't know all the suppliers? That was a very necessary move. If he knows I know his suppliers and still buy from him, the trust would be even stronger.

But I don't plan to make that a habit when I source my contacts myself.

Henix:


I think ur brother is just trying to test the level of brotherhood in u. If I were u, I will kill that spirit of greediness and patronize my brother. U couldn't have gotten the contract without his influence, but having helped u out, u now want to eat all. Don't eat today and forget tomorrow.

Meanwhile, don't forget that if u weren't his brother, that he is entitled to a certain percentage of the contract sum, for getting u the job

I'm really buying into this line of thought as well. He could be testing me, who knows? Thanks man, I appreciate.

Germi9:

Bro carry me along

We're still in the process of transporting materials to the site.. it would take a month and for actual work to begin.
So I don't know if you'd be available by then. If you would and stay in Lagos, then why not? Just keep in touch.

GloriousGbola:


your brothers company

not clear.

does your brother own the company or does he work there?
was your brother instrumental to your getting the contract?
is there possibility of future business or is this a one off?

in the nigerian landscape - the people who are instrumental or have power over your contract award expect their cut.
it is a cost of doing business and you have to think it through carefully while identifying the risk to you , your company rep and future opportunities.

He owns the company.. so recently I've been venturing into his line.
Yes he got the connect for me. Though I was planning on a one-off thing, but you never can tell tomorrow something this good may just pop up again and I doubt I would resist.

Well, if you count it as an opportunity cost, I would totally agree with you. But he's worth it honestly.. he played his part excellently.

Dprinceoj1:
Kindly buy from your brother,because he belief you can never by pass him in such kind of opportunity. Blood is thicker than water....just bless your brother ones.

You're right bros. I can put myself in his shoes now. It would pain me sef if na me..

It's all good.. I appreciate
