Kimiso: How do you cope which you have to submit your phone before resuming back to work,i currently worked where i had to submit my phone before resuming and I don't feel comfortable about it what if i had an emergency calls to attend to I think everybody has same experience to share on it here
Its definitely a wear house or factory related jobs,they're all over here in the state, some even have personal lockers for individual staff to keep their personal effects before resumption.
Be your own boss to avoid those unpleasant experiences.
ElBenny: I'm a young man of 26. Graduated back in 2019.
I'm currently working as a health professional and in the show biz.
I've gone through dark times, broke times and cashless times.
I've hustled and worked my way up to a comfortable level.
I'm not there yet, but for my age, I can afford whatever I want. It's been like this since 2021.
I've come across different girls (I can't count actually) who want me and want to settle down with me.
Some want us to date, others really want us to get married.
They're all beautiful ladies, with premium features.
But I've turned down all of them.
Why?
Many of them are broke.
Others have got nothing doing. Just studying or aspiring students.
I don't want a lady who will remind me of my broke days.
I don't want a broke lady.
I've gone past that stage and don't want to go back there.
Do y'all think I'm doing the right thing to stay single because of that?
You have done nothing wrong, bro Most of them are coming towards you now because you're comfortable not all but almost all of them. Turn the tide around, the ladies don't like broke guys for a partner.
Jennyclay: I don't know why Nigerian men are so criminally minded .
You claim there is no job opportunity in Nigeria, you sold all your properties just to travel to the so called Land of opportunity only for you to get yourself involved in fraudulent activities. .
gforce5: Well done bro. Women from other African countries are the best especially those from non-english speaking countries. They are very simple and don't stress you out. These women are mad pretty. A lot of my friends abroad are now going for other African women.
amechispeaks: Being Disciplined Vs Being Passionate: Which Is More Important For Achieving Your Goals?
We are all trying to achieve something in life, and we all know being successful isn't easy.
It can require a combination of both discipline and passion. But in my opinion, I'd say discipline is more important to achieving set goals.
Discipline will take you where passion cannot.
I have been passionate about many things, but wasn't disciplined enough to follow through, hence I didn't succeed in them.
On the other hand, there were set goals I wasn't even passionate about, but I achieved them because I was disciplined enough to follow through to the end.
For example, I have always been passionate about writing fictional books, but for many years I had so many book ideas that never saw the light of day. This was because I wasn't disciplined enough to put in the hours required to write them. I was also too busy writing for my clients (but that's not an excuse for not writing my own personal projects).
It wasn't until 2020 that I decided that no matter the workload I have from my clients and no matter how tired I was from working, that I would still make out the time to write my own book. And in less than a month, I had finished my book which I released in October 2020.
That's my take on discipline and passion as far as achieving set goals is concerned.
What's yours? And do you have similar stories to share?
DonOG: Good morning guys, an incident happened over the weekend which I would love to share with you guys so you can help judge the case because some of my friends are insisting I handled it wrongly.
A couple of my military friends, a navy officer and a soldier came into town last week and proposed to take my girlfriend out so we proceeded to her to pick her up from school. On our way we stopped by a fueling station to get fuel so I gave them a location to go wait for me while I take a bike to pick her up since the queue was a bit much. On our way out of school we came across two guys on the walk way, they exchanged glances and asked each other "what", one of the guys happened to be her coursemate that she already told me about sometime ago.
According to her, the guy used to be an errand boy for a notorious cult guy that used to ask her out during her first year, so the said guy was the one always coming to deliver messages to her. she didn't want to get involved with cultists so she would normally leave the guy hanging around without giving him a response to the messages. After the guy asking her out left the school the guy somehow started nursing a grudge against her.
While we stood at the school gate waiting for a bike the guy showed up again, this time with five guys with him and accosted my babe. He demanded to know why she talked to him rudely, before she could say jack he landed a jaw shattering slap on her cheek that nearly sent her sprawling to the ground. I was embarrassed but had to apply wisdom because the area wasn't my territory coupled with the fact that I was obviously out numbered. I held the guy's hand when he proceeded to slap her again and asked him why he would embarrass me by hitting a lady that was with me. Meanwhile my girlfriend was behind my back hurling insults at the guy saying stuff like he had the gut to hit her because he has started moving with cultists and other stuff I don't recall.
While I was trying to placate the situation, I noticed more guys closing in on us and knew I would be in danger if I didn't leave the place. I somehow managed to get a bike and took her away. My military friends were furious when they heard what happened insisted we go back to the school. I told them to die the matter because even if they are military guys we were still out numbered and we might get seriously injured before their backup comes.
They insisted on going back to the school, we went and as expected didn't meet any of the guys. They made a report to the school security and promised to come back the next day. On our way back they kept making calls and arranging a squad that would pick up the guy the next day while I kept trying to make them see reasons why it was going to be a bad move.
Firstly they can't possibly apprehend all the cultists in the school so arresting the guy will simply make the girl a moving target for the rest of the members and I wasn't willing to take that risk for someone that has just a couple of months to graduate. We might go and display power in the school and go back home while the girl will be all alone in the school without any form of protection, its not like they are going to assign a personal bodyguard to her. What if matters go south and a life or even lives get lost, it would be embarrassing to hear that it was all because of a girl that will move on to the next guy in a matter of weeks if anything happens to me. I was finally able to convince them and make them stand down.
The following day I brokered a peace meeting between my girlfriend and the guy through the cult guy's cousin that was also her friend though I didn't show up at the location. I even asked her to apologize to the guy for insulting him just to massage his ego so the matter could die down. My girlfriend recorded everything while the guy kept threatening her that she wasn't going to graduate for insulting him because she was with a guy. He went on to say that I was the target of the attack because they thought I would react to the assault on her and maybe fight back. They were even laughing at her that she's dating a coward that couldn't defend her in an attack, I just smiled.
My girlfriend was upset that she had to apologize to someone that hit her, but I told her that sometimes we have to choose our fights wisely. You don't go into a fight with someone that doesn't have anything to lose. Some of my friends feel I am a coward but I still feel I handled it the best way. What do you guys think??.....sorry for the epistle or any errors.
You're a smart guy,women doesn't worth dying for. You will live to fight again. Plenty fight ahead,I have found myself in such situations before it was 7yrs later the same guy fell into my trap but obviously he couldn't remember anything when I was taking my pounds of flesh on him. Good one guy
gforce5: Women from other African countries are much more humble than our Nigerian sisters. They are also damn beautiful too. It's our brothers that make these women so entitled. Making them feel bigger than what they actually are. Please port bros. You will never be appreciated here.
I had ported since,even in the process of formalizing my intentions self,Tanzanian women are extremely cute and calm No demand or whatsoever since I met her and very beautiful too
gforce5: It's hypocrisy nothing more. These same girls will open their pants for our brothers abroad doing security, retail, plumber and taxi jobs. Yet, they look down on Nigerians in Nigeria doing the same thing. I don't understand. There are so many intelligent uber/bolt drivers out there. Some of them are educated to PHD level. A few them were even based abroad. People (especially women) in this country are just willfully ignorant and elitist for no reason.
I agree with you 💯
I have looked elsewhere, I traveled to Tanzania, the women are not only damn beautiful but also respectful and never demanding. Me I don port oooo
gforce5: OP, you messed up big time. First and foremost, why were you chasing a student? That girl cannot be more than 22. Girls between 18-24 are the worst ones to chase as they are naive, immature, jobless and in high demand because of their age. Secondly, a man that is earning good money doesn't brag about his net worth. It's a sign of low self-esteem.The girl is very ignorant to mock taxi drivers. A lot of these guys make more money than so many professionals. Majority of uber and bolt drivers are graduates. Nigerian women are generally hypocrites. They mock guys doing uber/taxi work but would open their panties for abroad based guys doing the same thing. OP, you need to step your game up and look for working class women not graduates who are still catered for by their parents.
You're spot on bro.
Its exactly what's happening to me now,when I was in Lagos and had a good job with an IT firm in lekki they say am not earning enough now am here with same job plus gigs job and they're all over me asking for iPhone and money.
alphabbey1: The comparison Makes no sense as the lady will gladly fall for you for being in America alone, not minding the Job you do ..
You should be comparing your financial situation to that of someone living in same country. Will a typical student studying in US gladly accept your proposal knowing well you are a Uber driver ? Then we can say u and the guy are in same situation....
At the bolded ,yes ladies care less about what you do to make money here as long as its legitimate but your net figure and how you are able to put your life together matters. Alot of those girls too have things going for them so they pay less attention to what you have except for few ones amongst them which do not depicts the general opinion of them.
Naija is a reverse of everything I have seen so far
alphabbey1: Doesn't make sense u are in dollar spending country and quoting Naira here to make it look something mouth watery
It makes sense a bit I drive for doordash as my side hustle here too and make an average $1000 -$1500 in a week, would I be called poor too. Aside from my regular coding job. Sometimes I don't know how some females reasons. It depends though
Dailyparrot: I have to create this thread after reading through the topic on front page asking for jobs/professions that will make you not to marry someone.
So, I'm talking to this Unizik student that's studying medical radiography. Everything was going well. She even told me that she has told her mother about me and all. We met on Facebook and she's already asking to see me in person.
Until the day she found out that I use my car for Uber/Bolt business, everything changed. This girl stopped talking to me.
She has never been to Lagos and does not know how Uber works. She was asking how much I earn in a day, and that hope the Uber is not like their normal school cab that charge 100 naira per person, bla bla bla.
Well, I just don't want to let her know my net worth. I don't do Uber full time. I work on Fiverr and because sales dropped there, I decided to use Uber to make up for the income. I also do academic research for foreign students. Etc. I am into a lot of stuffs that fetch me nothing less than 400k a month so I don't think I should be regarded poor.
My house in the East is at roofing level. I am almost completing the payment of 4.5 million for a land I'm purchasing at Mowe, I own my car plus another Sienna I bought when Fiverr was booming.
I have a masters degree. So, should a girl reject me because I use my car to drive on Uber?
I am just laughing at her ignorance. The other time, we were talking and I jokingly asked her why she's putting on make up, and she was like, so she can find better suitors.
I thence assume I am not a better suitor because to her, I'm poor. This is someone earning 8k per month in the school that she was teaching during ASUU strike.
I wonder why women are impatient when it comes to taking decisions and that's why most of them regret later.
I am supposing being a medical student makes this girl think she deserves someone better than just a cab driver.
LOL.
Oga please jump am pass quickly. You will find a better lady that will love u for whom you are and not because you have money. Come to think of it,if truly you are rich now and things go south after marriage, what would happen? Disaster in the making
WriterNig: 🇷🇺 Russia is the all consuming 🔥 fire and the U.S knows it. Only 1 Satan-II Nuke 💣 can turn the whole of Texas to radioactive dust and ash. They have dozens of them.
The only country in the world that can fire missiles near U.S & NATO war planes. They did it last year while ✈ flying near Alaska.
They fear no one.
Well as much as I agree with your submission, I still believe that war will not favor anyone.
This is initiall gragra for me let Russia fire one thing first. Heaven go fall no be one person wahala oooo
birchwood: [b][/b]I’ve tried spraying insecticide so many times, I even leave my windows shut in this hot weather to keep the insecticide in after days. I don’t know what to do, there’s no standing water anywhere near my windows, it’s becoming unbearable and i might not sleep this night because of them. Please help me with solutions
Make sure there's no Bush around your house too Sometimes people dump refuse indiscriminately around the house you need clear it for enough wind to freely blows. Then fumigate
Sirseedorf: What is the benefit of agbero to the state, the people and tthe country? Why do we have many agbero unit instead of our security forces. Our truck was coming from Ogun state, park on getting to iyana isashi The drive did not stop because none of the unfortunate agbero stoped him, lo and behold one cursed agbero came from no where and smash the side mirror with a pipe, the driver had to reverse back to ask he had to smash the side mirror broken when nobody ask him to stop, then about five of them started confronting the Old man and assaulting him physically with the pipe in the their hand. and saying they have juju to avert curses, while the assault was going on I was inside the truck, because if I had came down and support baba, his beating would have been child play mine. Eventually I came down to beg them, talk to the driver and we moved on in pain and anger, but nothing's to be done our side mirror was broken, the driver and old man was beating and I feel helple
Igbo elerin, isashi and igando are there base, and anybody benefiting from agbero cursed money shall know no peace..
onthehill: Churches Should Add "Let Me Die The Day I Cheat On You" To Marriage Vow - Oriretan Honour
A Nigerian journalist, Oriretan Honour has said that one way to checkmate infidelity in marriages as well as paternity fraud, is for churches to normalize adding ''Let me die the day I cheat on you'' in the wedding vows for couples, IGBERETV reports.
Jennyclay: Broke men are the most shameless people living on earth. I'm allergic to broke and wretched men. I hate broke men like Kilode!
How can you sue a lady because of ordinary 3k transport . Shame!! Big shame!!
I was jejely on my own, when one broke wretched man wanted to send me 5k, biko what can I do with 5k ? I just told him to hold his nonsense 5k to himself, then I blocked him immediately.
Mustiboy: Everywhere you go, people hold their phones in their hands even when they have absolutely no need for it and the phones would be safer being in their pockets or bags?
Is it some kinda show-off? Cause I could swear this act is more common amongst iPhone users. Are they trying to make a statement? “Oh see the phone I use? I’m not doing too bad”
One thing I’ve noticed is that you’ll hardly find people with broken-screen phones or an entry-level smartphone holding them in their hands this way.
I overheard a Bet9ja boy narrating to his coworker how the respect he gets from folks in his neighborhood has skyrocketed because he now uses an iPhone 13.
Is it a Nigerian thing? Or na so dem dey do world over?
SUFFERInSMILIIN: I have heard a lot of guys in the country say that women from other African countries are much better that there home women. Most of the young guys and now dreaming of Mary and African woman from outside the Country. I have also seen it in UK Switzerland and Brazil most Nigerian guys there did African women but not the Nigerian one.
One of the Nigerian guys in Nigeria which came back from Mozambique narrate how the women are. If you hear the way this guy talks about mozambican women you will be shocked. If you just see how old of this guy is which came back for Christmas from some other African countries are talking about the girls their your head will go 360. One of these guys for Malawi told me whatever you have the girls do not care they will still love you
Please do not shoot the messenger I want some honest answers
Base on personal experience and exposure ,I will say yes they're far better especially when it comes to billing, they're not money monger like our women,atleast the ones I have meet
MRAKPORS: I read my wife's chat with another guy, apparently an old school mate In the chat, the guy said he misses my wife And my wife said she misses him too
