I never changed engine. When I noticed the engine was overdue for replacement, I sold the whole car.

I give my wife #500 everyday to cook for the house and yet she complains, it's really annoying.

Do you know that the #500 is even too much because there's everything a woman need to cook in bulk in the house. Meat, crayfish, Maggi, salt, seasonings.....

I mean everything. All she buys is things we can't buy in bulk which is tomatoes and pepper. Please guys what's your take?

Here in the north all these perishables are too cheap, she just steps out of the house and buy them from women selling just in front of our house.

Before some people start saying I'm stingy, you must also know that she doesn't lack anything. I give her pocket money and also buys her anything she needs as far as i can afford.

Are the only one eating in the house and your wife doesn't eat? Is your wife a handicap that cannot work or contribute money to cater for the expenses in the house? Is there an agreement that you will be bringing money while she will be bringing something else for the family? And you bring your family issue to Nairaland for judgment where there are kids and kindergarten? If you lose your job or you die, will your wife stop eating? Anyway, I dont know the agreement or arrangement you made in your family with your wife. It's your home, deal with it.

Where were you on October 7 when Hamas was shelling the Isreali civilians and going from door to door killing the Israeli natinale among them?

Hunger in Af0nja land. Yorubas respect their elders but insult their king. Stupid people.

Those basterds learned that from the IPOB miscreants that dragged out a traditional ruler in the south yeast and burnt him in the public square few years ago.

It's 2.47 am here but I can't sleep, I hardly sleep these days.

My whole world is crumbling.

He said he can never work in a private company again. His target is multinationals.

I encouraged him to pick up a job with private company while hoping for a bigger fish at least to support in taking care of the needs at home but he said no.

I'm left with taking care of our 3 kids, feeding, school fees and virtually every need at home. All he does is press phone, gamble and sleep.

Now our rent is due, no money.
I married as a virgin, married for love and not money, work my ass off, doing so many side hustle to shoulder the expenses at home. I'm tired. I regret all .

When I see my "unserious" classmates on social media and sometimes offline, I weep. See them living large. I thought all the sacrifices I made way back will pay off now.
I have made up my mind that if he doesn't fix the rent, I will move back to my parent's house.

Kindly feel free to advise or bash me. Tankio

Hello, never mind all those people insulting you, know that many of them would be worse than your husband if they find themselves in his shoes. How can a married man leave the responsibilities of taking care of his 3 children, house rent and all other bills to his wife while he wastes his own life away in this APC terrible time in Nigeria?
I will advise you let him know that if he will not make attempt to better his life by looking for a job to support you, you wont be able to cope with the financial burden any longer. What you plan to do is a right step, move with all your children into your family house, regard him as a dead man. He may want to manipulate you emotionally bu telling you that you want to leave him in his trying times, na lie. Tell him that when you see him become serious with his life, you may reconsider to come back.
The only thing I will condemn you for is that you are measuring yourself by what you are seeing people post online, never look at that. A lot of people are living miserable lives but put up a fake happiness on the internet. Many even suffer domestic violence behind the scene, some are in huge debt, a lot are living a fake life, dont ever make the mistake of looking down on yourself because of what others are posting online. Peace be unto you.

Thanks for this. Dont be surprised some people will begin to come out one after the other to tell you that it is a lie and that you are being deceived by a fiction book called Bible. Remember, the gospel of the cross is foolishness to those that are perishing.

Africans are seen as the lowest in all human race and less deserving of being human. Our desperation to japa at all cost and by all means even reinforce this fallacy among the people of the world that have not gone out of their continents that africa is most likely unliveable. No thanks to bad governments in africa that is forcing people to seek greener pastures oversea.
The unfortunate truth is that africans have the best of brains, reason why we have them excelling in other countries in areas of science and technology, medicine, business etc where there are enabling environment to operate and thrive unlike the destiny killer environment in most african countries.

You won N100m in BBNaija and ran away from your family only to come out and tell us you are having mental issue because your father cried out that you abandon your family because of money, whose sentiment are you trying to beg for?
The reason why God leave some people to remain in poverty is because when they have money, they will lose their right sense, kick against God Himself, become proud, misbehave, neglect those that have always been there for them and mismanage their wealth.

The truth is that many of them are only looking for either poverty alleviation program or someone to rescue them from shame or family pressure.

Sofria, Jennyclay pls take note.

Watch how that foolish he-goat named Omockery will link it to Peter Obi and igbos

Don't you think you are more foolish than Omockery for thinking like this in the first place?

Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, countries where mafians are more powerful than the government.

Good evening house.

I am in a dilemma and I need advice on what to do.

A bit of background about myself: I am a 29 years only child from a very poor background. I work for an IT firm which i joined in 2019 as a graduate trainee.

My total income is around 490k (400k from main job, 90k from a writing side gig).

My challenge:
Recently, My host have told me to look for my accommodation and I have been searching for houses. Unfortunately, the places closer to my places of work is expensive.

I work in VI and the cheapest mini flat I have seen in close vicinity is 1.2M at Ajah.

I also have have a building project I am undertaking in the village that is at roofing stage and my parents have been pressuring me to settle down as the only child.

My dilemma is this, If i go for the house at Ajah, it will eat a bulk of my savings, thereby making it impossible for me to complete the building project or even start the process of settling down.

If I go for a cheaper but farer location, I will be spending more time in traffic.

Please, how do I manage this?

And the best liar of the year goes to "Saviourplease" You are earning 400k and make extra 90k from side husstle but you cant afford an accommodation close to your office, kudos to you. Everybody just want to post on Nairaland and get attention.
Even people earning 120k-180k are working in VI and living around Ajah, Sangotedo, Obalende, Lagos Island, Oworonshoki, Gbagada, Ketu etc and are still able to set something aside for their own project without coming to post nonsense online. Shior.

I doubt it’s fuel..

Someone even parked a car ..

Cars are also driving on that road..

Try and reason well now, is it possible to park a car in that position with a fallen tanker? Dont you think that car is obviously involved in that accident?

That very new wife is either looking at him right now and making jest of him, or somewhere being lashed by another man now.

Oga go sit down ... you no dey pay reasonable tax... you go educate me about tax ... Nigerians not fit pay normal tax like the west are paying ... I Sabi as we dey run am here .. don't say what you don't know .. how much tax government dey collect... that one na tx... after everybody go lie lie finish pay meagre sum...

We don't pay reasonable tax as Federal Government worker or what do you mean? Who pays our salary and who deducts our tax from the salary, no be the same govt? Abeg park well, you don't have any valid point to make, and it doesn't make sense replying you on this issue again, so....bye.

Fearyourcreator:
This one wey no dey pay tax dey shout... even someone you paid to do something for you ... you can always say thank you... arrogancy go kee many of you for that side... I can say it well that if you occupy that seat you won't do jack ..

For your info, my tax is deducted directly by FG right from source. Now let me educate you a little, your government does not generate income only from tax for public development, they get money from Federal allocation, ventures and investments, loans, grants etc.

go buy am first..and get back to us

I know what I'm talking about. My brother has the older model BMW 325i, the car is a bad ass speed demon with a 6-cylinder heavy duty engine.

I don't know why we hail Governors in Africa for doing their job. These are part of what these leaders came to office to do and we praise them as if they are doing a favour, it is their duties for goodness sake. I am yet to see a Governor in America or a Mayor in England being celebrated for providing or repairing basic infrastructure.
I wont condemn the praise singers anyway, it is because they have seen past leaders who did absolutely nothing till their tenure ended, so they have to celebrate the ones that are responsible.

Your friend definitely thinks you are richer than him and taking your foodstuffs away, you will easily buy new ones. Let him know that you are disappointed in him and you wont be able to leave the house for him next time.

"He that beats the drum of war should be ready to be consumed by that war" - Elders' proverb.
When Israel starts to respond by hitting palestine civilians in their streets and homes, sympathizers that do not bother to ask how the whole battle started would begin to criticize and point fingers at Israel.

All this villages, there is life there

I'm from Ogun state, born in Oyo state. Visited Edo, Ondo, Benue (very nice people), Kogi and did my NYSC in Taraba state. I enjoyed Taraba for its affordability (feeding and housing), weather (all seasons are extreme), students and indigenes I met, they are all friendly people.

Tifnubudrugs:
Gowon and the generation of your father were no match with Igbos, that was why Harold Wilson, the then British prime minister had to rally other world powers to save your sorry ass. Without them, Nigeria wouldn't even stand Biafra not to talk of tribe of weaklings ordinary menstruating Dahomey ladies invaded their land and killed their fathers. Fulanis too invaded their land seized 20% of their territory and has been ruling the slaves till date! Imagine the cowards that want to measure up to Igbos.

Tribe of weaklings and cowards!

Dey play. Gowon was no match for you, yet his Minister of Finance advised him to stop the supply of food to South Yeast and your forefathers resorted to cannibalism, they started killing and eating their own children, they began to consume lizards, toads, grasshoppers, termites, charmeleon and invented all manners of soup from grass and anything green until starvation started to kill them in droves and they had to crawl on their kneels to beg for forgiveness from the Nigerian government while your super saviour Ojukwu disappeared into thin air to avoid lynching.
That is just a little bit of free lesson for you which your teachers must have deliberatly skipped all that history in your curriculm in AfghaniEASTERN.

Ofunaofu:
Reno Omokri, agbadorians and Tinubu minions especially the one above me are all getting it all muddled up

The bone of contention is not whether he attended the University rather the Crux of the matter is whether the degree certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC is genuine having previously claimed that he lost all his certificate when some military personnel stormed his house during the Abacha era

Atiku in his effort to establish that is now asking for all academic records that has to do with Tinubu's degree certificate

Not only the above, another reason is to juxtapose his records with the age he declared to see if they correlate or he is claiming a fake age.

Sergio is obviously smarter than you and the ignorant op. He immediately knew your intentions even before you started, that shows he is smarter than you.

You yorubas are the most toxic and hypocritical people ever. But you've met your Waterloo in Igbos. It is your inferiority complex that makes you people to keep thinking about Igbos every minute of the day while we don't even care if you exist.

Hateful tribe of primitive skull miners.

Another fake Aba made human being on the loose. It is not your fault anyway. Na your greedy Nnamdi Azikiwe that wanted to be Nigeria's president by force by conniving with Alh Ahmadu Bello to betray Pa Awolowo and disallowed the secession clause, na him cause all these rubbish. I blame Gowon for allowing this nonsense instead of wiping it off once and for all.

Sergio103:
I saw where you mentioned that zik's pics was because he has been refined by the colonialists.

No, the high class people of the communities you posted weren't refined.

Can you post the picture of the people of lowest echelon in Yoruba in 1910's??......No you can't because probably the don't know what camera is.

It's the same everywhere...... even in today's world.

Primitive people in villages may not look so nice in picture compared to the one's in exposed area (it doesn't know any tribe).

Once again......... your agenda in this thread is known.

Hit em up and stop beating around the bush

I'm not here for a dick measuring competition you are seeking but let me educate you a little. Civilization in Nigeria started with the South West. For your information, Christianity started in Egba, Abeokuta, Ogun state. WNTV, the first TV station in Africa (now NTA) started in Ibadan, courtesy Chief Obafemi Awolowo, way ahead before many European countries had television. First University in Nigeria was University of Ibadan, courtesy same Chief Awolowo. These are just few advancement in the South West that I will just give you. Back to your insultive comment, what big deal about photo camera when there had already been audio-visual camera in South West? Why do you Igbos always feel offended without being provoked? You guys are too toxic abeg.

Why not bring all the known ,archaic women photos that you have?

Or must he do your feminist work for you?
