Good day, everyone.

Yesterday was one of the most confusing days for me. For a moment, I almost ran mad.

Two weeks ago, I didn't even know what betting was like. Never done it, never experienced it. I hardly knew what the numbers meant.

Fast forward to yesterday, Tuesday, 28 July, I was risking a client's money on a game I thought was 'a sure bet.'

It was an eSports game I've been following for a while. I knew the players involved were very skilled and could score for fun. They did so in over 10 successive matches last night. So I thought it was worthwhile betting they'd score at least 2 goals.

I tried to do so in three attempts, but didn't have the mind to follow through, only for the matches to end up with at least 3 goals or more.

Informed by this, I thought it was safe to go on ahead and play this one time. I did. Unfortunately, both matches didn't end like I had predicted.

Over 800k was gone in a flash. I couldn't believe it. Seeing the signs, I attempted a cash out while the match was still live but couldn't, as the option wasn't available.

You may wonder why I had to risk such a huge sum.

It's simple; think I got greedy.

However, my excuse was that I needed money to offset some bills. Faced with so much responsibilities, I thought winning over a million naira would go a long way in helping me take care of stuff since business hasn't been coming in so much. The tile money I used was my first business since March, before the lockdown.

But, of course, my greed overshadowed any excuse I could offer.

To all the young men out there, please, regardless of how sure you are, do not stake more money than you're willing to lose. I've been there. The allure of making it big sooner can be overwhelming, but don't risk it.

If you must, stake little sums and make future bets from your winnings.



@lalasticlala, Mynd44 I'm not sure whether this is the right place for this, but pls help push it to the front page so people can learn from my experience.

Hello fam, please I need sincere advise on this issue. I created this account for this purpose so I can remain anonymous and get as much advise as I can.

I will give as much details as necessary for better understanding and to have a balanced view. My husband complains that I do things in isolation which has been the major cause of our quarrels. To be honest, the things he has complained about are usually things I do in good faith. For example, some weeks ago I came across a post on Nairaland that talked about the difficulties private school teachers are currently going through due to the covid 19 pandemic. While reading that post, I remembered a teacher living in our neighbourhood and immediately I felt like rendering a little help, so I sent her 5k (I have her account number from a transaction I did with her sometime back). I did this anonymously cos I didn't want her to know it came from me and till today even though she sees me often she has never talked about it which makes me believe she doesn't know it came from me. I later told my husband what I did expecting he would commend me but got the exact opposite. He flared up that I should have informed him before doing so. Note that we both work and have earnings. I did this from my 'personal purse' per se and not the family purse.
I have no problem informing him but he was not around at the time and I did what I did out of impulse to help someone. We really had a big quarrel and he did not fail remind me how he made a mistake with the marriage and we should go our separate way. That I am not submissive. Somehow I apologized and we managed to settle it.

Another incident: there is a virtual prayer group I belong to where we pray every morning mostly for families. People from different parts of the world join in this prayer. My husband sometimes joins but not consistent. This morning after the prayer, I sent the pastor a private message to remember my family in prayers especially for success in an exam my husband is about to write. I told my husband about this, and he flared up again. Then another round of talk of not being submissive and not obeying my husband. Please note that I'm not one of those who run after pastors and churches. I only joined this prayer group cos I connected with the way the pastor prays for families even though he doesn't know most of us and we don't know him personally.


These are just two out of the numerous issues. To be honest, I have made efforts to improve to please him and make our marriage work. I see these as petty issues and not something that should mean I am not being submissive or doing things in isolation. We talk about virtually everything we do but sometimes some things just come up that I react to immediately but always tell him about it.

As it is now, we may eventually go our separate way cos the constant reminder of him making a mistake to marry me because of my being un-submissive is making me lose interest in the marriage and killing the love I have for him. I just want to seek advise so it doesn't look like I did not make effort to make the marriage work.

Am I entirely wrong with my actions. Are the issues mentioned above not things that can be overlooked even after apologising. Should they warrant threats of divorce(which I don't have issues with anyway so everyone can have their peace)?

There is either of two things,
1. Your husband is tired of the relationship or
2. Your husband is going through issues at work and taking it out on you, either way talking to him seems like a good idea to know what is going on

Chai ladies and desperation are like bread and butter. On my 30th birthday my girl friend at the time bought soup ingredients to prepare special soup for me on my birthday. The Cooking was actually done in my house. After the cooking we settle down to do justice to the food lo and behold i became a certified maga for this lady for almost 6months before God delivered me from her evil grip on. Fear ladies, you never can tell what your girlfriend is capable of doing just to have you.

How do you know she tied you and what delivered you??

FrontRunner:
Yea but it's really surprising to know you were put through all that.I also lived in Family House during my Service year and know alot of Shiit went down ooo.Like a time we had to pray for a sister who was used for money rituals by some Rich Dude,She Left the House and later came back very ill but That's by the way tho.
So why would everyone(mamay,papay,Prayoo etc)believe one person over you.Were you giving them the wrong impression about yourself?

I didnt know yoruba girls can be this beautiful and sexy...

Thought most beautiful girls in Nigeria are usually from the South east and South south. And moreso, ibo girls tend to win any beauty pageant organised in Nigeria.

But this Yoruba girl here (Queen Anu) is a very sexy beautiful girl.

My nephew said he wanted to marry an Ogun state girl he met at NYSC camp. We warned him that anything beyond Delta Boundary with Edo state, he'd go alone. He was nearly disowned by his dad until he picked this pretty thing from Oshimili South. Today he's a bigger boy because that girl brought good luck, not marrying people whose parents may have indulged in ritual killings which inhibits progress.

Nairaland would not permit me to post YouTube links where Linda and all those who gave visions back then were exposed as liars and SHE confessed.

Pls send links of the video or give us the name, we would check ourselves

I submitted a letter in FIRS and the letter was torn by a lady at TPS all because the have a replica of that letter in their file and she is already stamped it and can't release it cos her signature is in it. When I asked her to just cancel her signature and return my letter she insisted on it being destroyed sat on the waiting chair waiting for her to make up her mind all of a sudden she tore the letter right to my face... I left there and came back the following day with a letter copying the regional office the head office the chairman and to whom it may concern within a second all the people in FIRS came including her and was begging me but I didn't bulge I submitted it and emailed the rest... I heard she has been sacked from FIRS.... Its good to know ur onion

Which FIRS branch, I work at Abeokuta MSTO

fairfora:
read my post again and you'd know the source and what she said on her identity Ok? Another lazy youth spotted here . I'm a product of same unilag. That such things happen in our clime doesn't mean the opposite also cant happen. As an undergraduate, girls would be sharing an invite in my class of an event taking place in the uk. Before you know it, they've jetted out to the uk, only to come back the following week. They're children of the rich and mighty. If they missed classes during which a test was conducted, and they failed, the same girls would be bringing tyres and money to bribe lecturers most of whom would reject their gifts. The situation is even worse nowadays. People like you would never also believe the fact that girls frame up lecturers who refused to do their bidding. Why were they wearing a mask while they granted kiki that interview? The previous events recorded in unilag and ife had proofs. In fact, in the unilag case, the lady was secretly filming the lecturer in his office and ife victim came to the public her identity wasnt hidden and all these served as evidence. Meanwhile, the accused man was only filmed whilst he was in church service as pastor conducting a normal church programme...think about it since you can only reason one-way. It's also possible they framed him up because they failed his course and being a pastor, he refused to take bribe presented to him.

In same unilag, I had heard of a girl who threatened to implicate a Muslim lecturer who doesn't take bribe. she tried severally to enter him but failed. I was in 300l then. She failed his course and the man is a disciplinarian. We used to call him alfaa, he's now prof. This man would order that a door be shut behind him to prevent students who came late to the lecture theatre from entering. He works with time. People rarely joked with his lectures in fact, many had had a reseat in the past because of just his course. He would take attendance after lecture and call it a test or CA and award marks in that regard. People on sick bed would leave the hospital to attend his lecture. when he discovered the girl was out to implicate him, he brought out the holy book to swear and also cursed her...your reasoning is a clear proof our youths are still backward in Innovations. Because the issue was published by the almighty BBC who lies at times, doesn't mean you should take it as it is. Things happen in our university and I cant wait to see all the lecturers involved being brought to book. But those girls too do implicate lecturers especially if they failed to have their way but because it's the opposite, nobody cares to talk about it. A deeper investigation is needed in this case

lecturer50:
In most primary/secondary schools in Nigeria and Africa,there is a norm as far as corporal punishments is concerned.

Where caning is allowed:

Males students are generally beaten on their buttocks and females students on the palms of their hands.

These are the laid down rules although there could be some exceptions like:beating of back,feet,legs

As a male student, how did it use to feel like when they beat your buttocks during your school days?

As female student,how does it feel like when your hands are beaten.

Please i need replies with revelant examples from your primary/sec school day.

I need replies.

It is urgent

Go to Twitter and other websites and ask the question and post the screenshots of the reply here, I am truly interested in this thread

Good afternoon guys

This article i'm about to share here is from Mobolaji Folorunso, a Swedish Institute Study Scholarship holder from Nigeria studying for a Master's degree in Industrial Engineering and Management at Linköping University, in the south of Sweden.

The article contains information on each of the following

•Two most important websites to win the Swedish scholarship

•Benefits of the Swedish scholarship

•Required documents for admission

•Required documents for the scholarship

•How to select the right Master's programme

•How to become a Swedish citizen through master's studies.

It's a very detailed article, so it's quite long and you have to digest every information in it patiently. Also, you have to show that you're really committed by like or share every detail of information in each lesson I send here

Pls are there any Swedish Universities that offer admission to Students with a Bsc second class lower (but no Honours unfortunately due to extra year) and what is the mininum requirement for this scholarship and are they any fully funded scholarships for second class lower students in Sweden?

Oskydaniellyyy:
Nigerians are hypocrites. When they are showing tens of millions of naira in the account to apply for the visa.

That is why the rejection rate is so high to the extent that the Canada visa process of study permit in Nigeria is very uncertain . US, new Zealand, UK ,Ireland and Australia schools are more expensive than Canada .

Look for cheaper schools in Canada to apply to and go to free tuition schools in Europe.

When Canada denied me, I just shift my attention to scadinavians. The visa and admission are very easier compare to Canada, life is also more relax there.

This depression is getting too much for international students from Africa.

My God help us.

Pls list European countries that are tuition free for masters and their migration policy (as per do they grant post study visa)
