Tobiloba24072: Most guys don't know, it's actually women that propose marriage to men, it's women that bring the discussion, if your woman hasn't started mentioning marriage or future to you, don't jump and propose oooo, because she hasn't seen you in that light of spending forever together.
Even at that, ask yourself if her personality or character is one that you will be proud if she trained your daughter to be like her. Too many men just see fine girl and think that's the standard to find a wife... I pity them especially the igbo abroad brothers.
Most times too, some of this similarity could bring about different meanings and interpretations.
Check this: An Egbira boy took his friend, a Yoruba boy to his home and wanted to introduce him to his father and was shouting Ota mi de, Ada mi da. The word ‘Ota’ in Egbira language means friend whereas in Yoruba, the same word means enemy. By the same token, the word ‘Ada’ in Egbira means father, whereas in Yoruba the same word means cutlass or sword. Of course, the word ‘Mi’ in Egbira and Yoruba simply means mine, and the word ‘De’, ‘has arrived’ means exactly the same thing in both Yoruba and Egbira. Therefore, ‘Ota mi de, Ada mi da’ in Egbira simply means ‘My friend has arrived, where is my father’ (to help me welcome him). In Yoruba, the same statement means, ‘My enemy is here, get me my cutlass’.
If I was that friend in question, on hearing the word sword, I'll do Usain Bolt sharpaly.
Oh wow! The Ebira and Yoruba words!
Well the two groups both share a common land border in Kogi and Edo (I read that the Igaras of Akoko Edo are of mainly direct Ebira origin).

Unveiling Jamaica's Hidden Billionaires The 21 Families That Control the Island's Wealth
Comments: @JessJayEel 1 month ago (edited) [July 2024] As a Haitian, I like to warn Jamaicans that if you plan on building competition on the island it will get very ugly. Haitians realized the power of families like these and tried to push back against them. They would buy out politicians to monopolize on certain industries. Once the people revolted, sudddenly people are kidnapped and journalists assassinated. The theory is that some of these families in Haiti operate like the mafia. So they pay street gangs to go against anyone who tries to make the system more fair for everyone. Lastly, imperial powers loves families like these. They use government contracts to sell out to western countries . It is a never ending war once it starts. Cuba realized this game a lot earlier than most of the caribbean and because they wanted the people to benefit more from the industries, they have been dealing with harsh blockades and sanctions. Zimbabwe tried as well. All in all, it is not going to be easy, people will die, and there will be many refugees as a result. If you wondering why there is always political instability in Haiti, the answer is right there. The power struggle is on going. I hope Jamaicans and the rest of the Caribbean finally wakes up. The same conciousness is building in Africa as well. We got this! One Love.
Update: I see a lot of hopeless comments from Jamaicans and I'm here to encourage you. If you want to fight corruption, you have to set your mind to thinking that the struggle will be a long one. It's not going to be resulted in your lifetime. But as long as you keep fighting that is all that matters. Before the Haitian Revolution, there was so many attempts to break free from slavery. A lot of it ended in mass murder of the rebellious enslaved Africans. But my ancestors never lost hope. Once the opportunity came, we fought harder than ever before. That is how you should see it. Like a long battle until the perfect opportunity comes for victory. The tide is changing globally so be ready for what is to come. Protests are happening all over Africa, people in Latin America are slowly waking up, the elites are getting scared. God is on the side of the righteous. Read Psalms 9. Our time will soon come. Keep fighting and keep spreading truth to power. One Love!

This is a clear warning to the treacherous dudes out there to desist from this. That naked guy in the pic looks like his face and brain have been reset with preliminary slaps before the selfie was taken.
For the cheating females, better to get a legit divorce first, then y'all can have marathon sex with another man. Men are territorial and don't like other men making out or having sexual liasons with their women. The consequences of cheating can be very dire with the most extreme punishment being brutal assasinations by hit men... Sicilian style or Al Capone style.
I personally won't go to such an extreme but would calmly and ruthlessly make sure both cheaters get socially disgraced right up to the professional level with hardcore recorded evidence. In summary... "Eja po l'odo!"
Sweettwenty8: Finaly i decided to create an account
What's up Nairaland, Please Pardon my English.
So me and my man been married for a year now but here's the thing he does that pisses me OFF!!! TOTALLY!!!! ehn, every time I cook rice and stew (fried stew/fish/meat) he'd ask me to go outside the estate to go and buy Ewa(beans) (I'm using Ewa because that's how he pronounces it. So I noticed this earlier and I started Cooking beans anytime I cook rice. He'll still request for 'Ewa' the Mama put beans made and sold by the roadside
While we dated he'd even ask me to cook for himself and his friends and if my cooking was bad, I'd have gotten feedback somehow.. how can I serve food and he'll ask me to go get 'Ewa' at Shangisha Outside Magodo Gra to mix his rice even when we have visitors he will send me a whatsapp message to still go get Ewa most times he'll even book uber if i tell him I'm too tired to drive I'm tired of going to buy Ewa!!
How do i get to know what the problem is, because it's definitely not my cooking, 2 of my office buddies they don't buy lunch because i bring enough food for 3 of us everyday and they'd have stopped eating it if it was bad
Okay... This is 2021! Hope you've learned how to cook that style of ewa that your man loves?
... That's his "love language" if you care to know.
psalmuelwater: You might need to intern with that particular "mama put" for a week, so you can learn how he loves it. If after doing this, he's still hellbent on that particular woman's "EWA". It is finished niyen ooo. You better go MFM go deliver am
Exactly what I had in mind as the best solution!
"Interning" with the cooked ewa seller is the keyword here just as you've stated!
I only eat soft beans cooked with a pressure cooker as well... I'm so addicted to it.
Johnsghana: Executive Director of Sexual Health Foundation, Dr. Samuel Amanamah, has revealed that about 50 per cent of men between the ages of 40 and 70 in Ghana are suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED).
The causes, according to the consultant Urologist, attributed to people having diseases like diabetes and hypertension unknowingly.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition in which a man regularly finds it difficult to get or keep a firm erection.
This situation he explained has an adverse social impact on families, society as a whole and therefore must be addressed.
Dr. Samuel Amanamah, who is also Sexapathologist, made the revelation in his speech during a symposium on challenges of sexual dysfunction in men, on Sunday, September 20, 2020, in Kumasi.
money121: What's ur proof that she lifted does pictures from facebook? And you didn't see her contact number on that post?
If you didn't trust want someone post on this forum You are free feel to request for office address b4 you make purchase Stop calling someone a scammer
Hello @money121. Just to be clear here, if you read my post properly, you would realise that...
I NEVER called anybody a scammer in my post! I only "emphasized" on carrying out "due diligence" when dealing with people on NL. I've been a member of this website since 2005 when I was already over 30 years, and as a mature older man, it's NOT in my nature to make false accusations against people offline or online, although I can be brutally honest while giving constructive advice and I'm not immune to taking advice from others if it makes sense.
Second... It seems a few of the images or pics were originally from FB. The "pics titles" showed they were originally uploaded to FB before uploading to this NL thread.
Third, there was NO contact info or phone number when I originally made that post! It was after I had made my post that the OP modified the post and added the phone number and made more clarifications! In any event, people can now make contact, and the OP's modified post and clarifications make this thread more relevant.
Fourth, I can also see here that YOU and the OP who is in Benin city know (or are connected to) each other. I wonder if she has a branch in Lagos as well?
greggng: Is a free world ...talk is free. But the reality will continue to be our front ,..whether we like it or not . The question I have asked several times is...should people stop selling car cos price of cars are now expensive? Just yesterday I was advicing a fellow dealer not to buy a 2005 corolla for 1.7m ...for Nigeria used ...but he told me to keep my advice cos whatever goes up in nigeria doesn't come down ...he paid and the next day someone bought it for 1.850m from him without stress. Finally , he adviced me not to listen to naive people on nairaland who doesn't wanna face reality. That they tend to blame dealers for their miserable state but they forgot that dealers don't steal cars....they buy from end users....where end users have now turn to dealer. ...they wanna sell directly to buyers at higher price, where to you expect a dealer to get a cheap car...My final word to you gullible people who are still living in the past ...is to continue dwelling in the past ...nobody tells a man whose house is on fire to stop chasing rat...insulting dealers will not help your miserable situation. ..just yesterday my car tyre got spoiled and I decided to call the guy that sells used tyre and he shouted when he told me the price for the tyre....I use to buy it 7k from him but now is 12k....so I decided to visit ladipo to know if he is trying to cheat ...I was surprise the price is same ...keep insulting dealers ...very soon you won't be able to buy food stuff to eat at home ...I hope you will be insulting market women when you get to the market ..That is what I call misplaced aggression ....channel your anger to government not your fellow citizens...they didn't cause the inflation or rise in dollar...My information will make sense to real men not people under their parents ...they will soon face reality
BigCabal: When Kemi*, 26, received a rejection email from Twitter about a software engineering role she’d applied to, she was devastated, and she cried. She’d previously aced Palantir’s recruitment process for the same role and was going to travel for the final interview, on-site, when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out and thwarted that plan.
Before all of these, Kemi had applied to Google, Amazon and Apple but didn’t scale through their recruitment processes. These initial rejections didn’t faze her like Twitter’s, though, because, by the time she applied to the social media giant, she felt she’d already acquired enough skills to land the job.
Yet she didn’t. The common response she got across these companies was that she’d submitted her coding assessments later than required; they thought she was slow in coming up with solutions. But she had a demanding, full-time job, and that took up most of her time.
She decided, then, to take a break from applying for international jobs and focus on her current job at the time. The job paid her enough to sort out personal and family bills, after all.
And yet, her ambitions wouldn’t take a break. So it was only a matter of weeks before she was back to applying again to these international jobs.
So, how did a girl like her – who came from a poor background – go from selling fufu and dried fish on a university campus to almost working with Google, Amazon, Twitter and Palantir, and finally landing a software engineering role at the world’s biggest financial data and news company, Bloomberg?
It all began in Lagos, Nigeria, 26 years ago.
Kemi was the first child of her family, born in 1995, in the Akowonjo area of Lagos, Nigeria. Her mother, Mrs Adeoye*, was a schoolteacher and fabric trader. But not the kind that owned shops. Mrs Adeoye sold fabric to her colleagues at school and neighbours. On weekends, she and Kemi hawked them on the street.
Due to their inadequate salary, it’s common in Nigeria for teachers, especially female ones, to double as traders. But it’s not common to see a schoolteacher hawking on the street.
Mrs Adeoye collected the fabrics on credit from wholesalers and could only restock after paying for the previous wares. She embodied steadfastness and diligence – values she has passed down to her daughters.
Kemi watched her mother juggle two jobs to provide for her and her sister and that influenced her decision to work hard and smart. “My mum raised us alone, and I just got the memo, from a young age, that if I didn’t want to suffer, I’d have to hustle.”
It was a lonely journey for a single mother raising two daughters alone in Lagos with the little money she made from her teaching job and side hustle.
But where was her father?
“Bold of you to think my dad is dead,” Kemi said, when I asked when her father had died.
Her father had left her mother when her younger sister, Ayo,* was a year old. There was no reason for his disappearance – at least not any Kemi or her mother knew of. Kemi was five when he left and never looked back.
The next time Kemi saw him again, she was 12.
Her father’s return was bad luck
In 2007, Kemi’s sister Ayo fell seriously sick and Mrs Adeoye had to send for her daughters’ father. He showed up, surprisingly, like a hero who’d come to save the day. He spent some months with his earlier-abandoned family and ended up turning everything upside down before he left them yet again. Kemi, her mother and sister had gone out one day, and when they returned, found that he had disappeared with Mrs Adeoye’s goods and put her in debt.
This event marked the beginning of a negative turn for the family, throwing them into a state of penury that would last over three years. Those goods had been collected on credit and now the wholesalers were upset and wanted their money.
Mrs Adeoye had to repay her debts in bits, from her meagre salary, leaving her with almost nothing for feeding and housekeeping. Sometimes, her creditors stormed the school where she taught to embarrass her about their money. By now, things had gotten so bad that Kemi and Ayo used polythene bags to carry their books to school.
School fees were the least of the Adeoye sisters’ problems, however, because they both attended schools where their mother taught. There was a staff discount for teachers’ kids at these schools, and sometimes, a complete fee waiver.
Excelling in school
Amid all this chaos, Kemi remained one of the most brilliant students in her class. Being a teacher’s kid may not have come with life’s best comforts, but it gave her something: strict supervision that drove her to excellence.
Two years after secondary school, Kemi was admitted into the Faculty of Engineering at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ife.
Things had gotten better for her family while she was in SS 3, her final year of secondary school. Her mother got a new job in another school. The job came with accommodation, free lunch and better pay. Mrs Adeoye bought Kemi her first laptop and was able to pay her university bills.
But their problems were far from over.
A few months into Kemi’s freshman year, terror hit again. Her mother lost the new job, and the family was back to square one. Her mother never found her feet again after that.
For five years, Kemi struggled through university. In her second year, her friend’s father paid her school fees, and in her third year, her fees would come from money she made hawking food on campus. In her third year, she took fufu, eggs and dry fish from one hostel room to another, calling on her fellow students to come buy.
She stopped selling food after her internship at a tech firm in Lagos. And she used part of the money she made during the internship to sort out her fees for her fifth year of school.
Writing code changed Kemi’s story
Kemi started writing code in her freshman year. Some guys at her school had organised a coding bootcamp, which she passively attended. At OAU, it was easy to get into coding as there were always coding camps going on, on the campus.
But it wasn’t easy to continue coding. After the bootcamp, Kemi wasn’t really excited about the skill and discontinued further development in that area – until her third year when she started working as a software development trainee in a tech company in Yaba, Nigeria’s biggest tech hub. The company picked up students, trained and paid them a stipend for learning.
While that was going on, one of her lecturers organised a coding training and, at the end of it, a hackathon, which marked the beginning of it all.
If Nigerian universities were to be graded based on the number of top tech talents produced, OAU would be in the top three. The school is popular for this, and the Nigerian tech ecosystem testifies to this.
“I like to say I officially became a software engineer during my internship at Konga,” Kemi said. “That was the turning point for me.”
Since her internship at Konga, all the jobs she’d gotten had been based on recommendations.
During her time at her first job out of school, she got an offer from a company based in Germany, but her Nigerian company made a counter-offer and she remained with them. However, when Bloomberg called, it was a case of not every offer can be countered.
“Getting into tech wasn’t really about passion. It was more about getting stability in life,” Kemi told me. “A career as a software engineer has allowed me to do things I could only dream of [before].”
Kemi’s reality is the same for most Africans, especially young people going into tech; many available jobs can barely cater for their own immediate needs, not to talk of catering for other family members.
Kemi wants to continue supporting her mother and sister, not only by clearing their bills but also helping them to be independent of her. “I want to help my family build generational wealth, and you know that can’t happen if I’m the only one giving.”
Kemi graduated from OAU with a first-class. This revelation was enough to start an entirely new conversation. There were so many more questions I wanted to ask her, but the answer to them all, she told me, was grit, ambition and a staunch fear of poverty.
SaintUlot: There is nothing spectacular about this bot, what's the difference between how this bot operates and kucoin bot or binance grid trading which are free to use. Newbies in the cryptocurrency industry, don't be carried away by the massive promotion this bot is getting, all of them are only interested in the referral bonus they ll get, because the bot also doubles as an MLM scheme.
All those huge profits screenshots you are seeing, they are profit from MLM. If you can't refer, you won't get that kind of huge screenshot, so don't be deceived. The bot doesn't supercede any other trading bot you might have known before now. The reason for the hype is the MLM attached to it.
The promoters are desperate to earn referral bonus.
Theinfomayniac: Altcoins are simply other coins launched after seeing the success of Bitcoin
Let me quickly say here that there are 3 major ways to making money from cryto
1. Day Trading: This simply means trading positions based on price volatility. (Not advisable for newbees)
2. Investing (Long term holds) Imaging buying BNB now at $500 and holding it for the next 3 to 5 years when the price would have risen to 2000 or $3000 . PS. Buy BNB now, it is still cheap, price is going to the moon
3. The third way is ... Investing ( Short term, buying low and selling high within few months). Imagine buying bitcoin last year December at 28, 000 and selling at 45,000 this year. Good right?
There are other ways like staking, farming, mining etc but the above are the most common ways.

Inception: The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has banned transfer of foreign exchange (forex) from one customer to another.
According to the apex bank, forex cash lodgements into domiciliary accounts can only be done by the account owners henceforth.
An internal memo available in the media space explains that the new guidelines are necessary to review the utilisation of inflows into customers domiciliary accounts.
The circular states: “Forex inflows cannot be credited to customers until the legitimacy of funds is established.
“They can have unfettered access by telegraphic transfers up to a limit of $40,000 monthly for payment of medical bills, school fees, subscription to professional bodies subject to existing CBN guidelines.
“Transfers from one customer to another is prohibited. Transfer within related companies is allowed subject to a limit of $50,000 per month.”
It recommended that proceeds from non-oil exports should be sold to banks, used for repayment of dollar term loans, and self-utilisation for trade transactions for LC, bills and Form A. Also oil export proceeds from E&P companies are to be used to pay contractors and service providers employed by the oil companies in addition to the recommended uses for non-oil FX proceeds.
Offshore forex inflows from other Nigerian banks and internal account to forex transfers sourced from offshore inflows are to be used for trade transactions subject to eligibility for E-Form M.
“Upon confirmation of the legitimacy of the inflows, customers can have unfettered access, subject to a maximum of $50,000,” the document read.
“Utilisation for trade transactions subject to processing of eligible trade transactions using E-Form M. Payment for services must be backed with demand note from offshore beneficiary and other regulatory documents. “Related party transfers are allowed to the maximum of the inflow received. The transfer request should be backed by a signed instruction from the account holder.” Payment of government fees and levies are also allowed to the maritime, oil and gas, aviation. government parastatals and export processing zones.
WarrenC: Supplying commodities to manufacturing companies is another form of trading in agribusiness.
Company supply eases you the stress of vigorous and aggressive marketing.
Yes every business has its own challenges, but I would choose supplying commodities to manufacturing companies than supplying to dealers or selling to final consumers
In company supplies you don't have to think too much of sales.
They are ready to buy at any time as far as you keep to their commodity specifications.
The only but in company supply is, it is capital intensive.
Lots of people have the interest in supplying commodities to manufacturing companies, but their funds alone cannot pull a good amount of commodities to maximize profit. Therefore there is need for a collaboration
Based on the above, I have created a fully registered cooperative.
I have taken my several experiences in Agro supply to create this forum.
I have taken out my time and resources to travel to meet up with some manufacturing companies to secure supplies.
The cooperative is strictly profit oriented
The following are the benefits of the cooperative
The cooperative is registered with a number of companies as a supplier. Members will not worry about paper work as that has been taken care off.
During farming, the cooperative will empower farmers in terms of farm input and then off-take the commodity from them
The cooperative will continue to identify new secure markets to explore and supply commodity on behalf of its members
The cooperative will also engage in export of commodities with all necessary documents involved in export
Membership is limited and once we get to the target membership, registration will be closed.
Please, Note that it is only open to very serious persons who is really interested in industrial supplies
Being a member requires a membership fee and fulfilling all other requirements.
We also have representatives in some states in case you want to Meetup with one physically.
bettymygirl: Hmmm.... Except you're doing the business yourself, I'm not too sure of a 10k ROI daily. I can only suggest what I know of and into right now, which gives 15-20% ROI monthly. Which is cryptocurrency trading (not investment oo!) Don't worry I'm not the one doing the trading, a robot does the trading and its over 95% accurate so you can be sure of the ROI I stated above. This is 1st of its kind in Africa. The owner of the automated crypto trading platform is a South African forex trade (Sandile Shezi Innocent) so he replicated himself in the robot to take profitable trades when it sees.
Hi @bettymygirl... Thanks for sharing.
How long have you been on the platform?
I first knew of Sandile when he was just 23 years old a few years ago. He was talking about retiring in an IG live vid that I saw in 2019. I never knew he's now into crypto assets. I'll investigate the platform some more.
