$300 salary for a family man will barely be enough
I'm single and living with my brother, and we spend more than 100k a month on ourselves - data, feeding, transportation and stuff.
Rent not inclusive, offerings, donations and other things.

Nigeria is truly the world poverty capital!

Shitty talk, Is any amount ever enough?

Even 500k is not enough for some families.

Man, you people are such bitter, misogynistic clowns here.

You don’t have context. You don’t know what’s happening in their marriage. You don’t know if that was a joke. You don’t know if they take it in turns to clean their rooms.


Basically, you don’t know.

And now you’ve come up with some nonsense about how ‘men are now subservient’ in one of the most patriarchal societies in the world.


Imagine bringing up a hypothetical ‘role reversal’ where you imagine bill payment being held hostage. Who told you sef that the man is the one paying all the bills? Or most of the bills?


The man posted this online for laughs. Obviously it’s an inside joke between him and his wife. And you’re here on Nairaland whining about it.

Fool. His response to it posted here is a joke as well.

You act as if these things don't happen daily.

You haven't seen or heard of women locking up because the husband hasn't met one material desire or the other?

Hezmatosky:
It's normal. Its even more romantic to be charged by your wife for sex. Its not must tho. And you can owe her anyway. And she's more happier by so doing, and you know what that means?. Sometimes, wives find it difficult having urges for sex. So do it to lure her more to bed

. Fools everywhere.

Even prostitutes satisfy their customers which could be upto 15 persons daily.

Sex is nothing to women and they need not enjoy it to have it.

Ilekokonit:
Most black women lose interest in sex after 2 kids.

It could be because some were circumcised and so do not have the most sensitive part of their Instruments intact anymore. Their clitoris may have been chopped off. The clitoris is meant to be like a mini penis that gets engorged with blood when aroused and it has a cap like the penis and so just like a man whose penile cap has been chopped off may never reach orgasm, likewise a woman whose entire clitoris has been hacked off may never achieve orgasm ans so sex to such damaged women is like a chore as they don't enjoy it and only engage in it to trap a man for marriage and kids.

Also, one of the major causes why black women lose interest in sex after 2 kids is because after each child birth, black women damage the lining of their vaginas by steaming it with boiling water when they sit on potties filled with boiling water, herbs and Dettol all in the name of healing the insides of their reproductive tract. This has the effect of cooking the insides of their vagina to a point where they no longer have much feeling in their vagina as the sensitive nerves in their vagina has been damaged beyond repair and because they can not feel anything in their vagina (barring a horse dick), they shy away from sex which they no longer enjoy because they have with their own hands damaged their own vagina.

This is before factoring in that after 2 kids, their vaginas has been stretched / widened and at times torn by a difficult child birth and so with them now boiling their vaginas by sitting of a potty filled with boiling water, the result is that their vaginas are no longer fit for purpose as they can no longer feel their husbands dick and they then start using sex as a weapon by denying the man sex and so the man has no choice and decides to satisfy his natural urges outside with a woman who gives him sexual healing and also treats him better than his wife who by now is only interested in the kids and loves neglecting her husbands needs.

Any scientific back up about damaging the vagina?

Mynd44:
I think the deadline should be postponed until December to give people time to register.

But seriously though Nigerians need to stop this habit of leaving everything until the last minute. Since 2013, this much people have not done the NIN? 7 years?

Same way they were rushing to do BVN at the last minute

This is so ridiculous because I actually lost my NIMC printout some years ago and went to reprint yet some people didn't even attempt to register at all

Go sit down dude.

What's the essence of registering the nonsense?

You do NIN, Voters card, Driver's licence, Intl passport, Bvn, sim reg, nysc etc.

All sorts of nonsense. No harmony at all.

And why the URGENCY in this? Did anybody give Nigeria deadline?

So why the rush?


Besides, people have been doing it since but officials frustrate them always and demand bribe too.

I did mine since 2015, yet the original isn't ready yet.

Sex is nothing to most women.
They only withhold it when they feel no benefit accrues.

Longman6:
TAKE a moment to admire—and fear—the ascent of America’s big-five tech firms. Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook have recently become the five most valuable listed companies in the world, in that order. With a total market value of $2.9trn, they are worth more than any five firms in history.

Elevated tech valuations used to be a sign of hysteria. Today’s investors believe they are making an ice-cold judgment that these firms are the dominant oligopolies of the 21st century and will extract a vast, rising, flow of profits. There is one gnawing doubt, however: the formidable five’s cash-rich balance-sheets, which are built as if they expect a crisis, not to dominate the world.


It is easy to see why investors are keen. Billions of users are tied into these firms’ social-media networks, digital assistants, operating systems and cloud-computing platforms. The five firms are squeezing traditional competitors such as IBM and Macy’s. Together they make $100bn of profits. Analysts forecast this will rise to $170bn by 2020. The rebels of Silicon Valley have evolved into slick moneymaking machines with high market shares. For investors it just doesn’t get any better.

Old-economy oligopolists, such as cable, telecoms and beer companies, are confident about their ability to extract reliable rents from customers, so they finance themselves largely with debt, which is cheap but inflexible, and return most of the cash they make to shareholders. Yet, oddly, the biggest tech firms have the opposite approach. Together they have $330bn of net cash (cash less debt), a ratio of twice their gross cashflow.

The pile far exceeds the cash buffers that tech and pharmaceutical firms traditionally carry to compensate for their lack of physical assets that debt can be secured against. For example a selection of five cash hoarders from an early generation of tech giants—Cisco, Intel, Oracle, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments—together have had an average ratio of only 1.3 times since 1996.

The money mountain will get much bigger as profits soar. The five firms have policies for returning some cash to shareholders. For example, Alphabet and Facebook will not pay dividends for the “foreseeable future” but have small buy-back programmes, albeit with no deadlines. Apple pays a meaty dividend and has a budget for repurchasing shares until 2019. Factoring in these programmes, and analysts’ profit forecasts, their total net cash will reach $680bn by 2020, or three times gross cashflow. Even Amazon, which has a relatively small pile now, will reach $50bn.

One reason for the cash build up is tax: 80% of the five firms’ gross cash is held abroad, allowing them to defer the levy American firms pay when repatriating profits. The bill for bringing half the cash home might be about $50bn. That is not to be sniffed at, but being clever about tax has become an excuse for firms to obfuscate and dither about their plans for their balance sheets.

The cash cushion is far larger than is needed to absorb shocks, such as a financial crash or a hacking attack. Schumpeter has devised a tech “stress test”. It assumes that staff are paid in cash not shares, which might happen after a stockmarket collapse, and that firms pay all their contingent tax liabilities (including all repatriation levies) as well as regulatory and litigation claims. It also includes a year of contractual payments—for instance Apple has to pay $29bn to component suppliers. Including all of these costs, the five firms would still have $380bn of net cash by 2020.

Nor could fresh investments soak up all the cash. The five tech firms together put $100bn last year into research and development and capital spending, three times more than half a decade ago. A torrent of money is already flowing into data centres, software, new headquarters and “moon shots” such as driverless cars and immortality drugs. In order for the firms to spend all of the cashflow they are on track to retain, annual investment would need to rise to almost $300bn by 2020.

That is over twice what the global venture-capital industry spends each year. It is 51 times the annual cash burned up by Netflix, Uber and Tesla, three firms famous for being cash hungry. And it is 37 times the average annual amount of cash the five firms have in total spent on acquisitions to gain new technologies and products, such as Facebook’s $19bn purchase of WhatsApp, a messaging service in 2014, or Google’s $3.1bn acquisition of DoubleClick, an advertising firm, in 2007.

Might these firms hoard cash just because they are run by megalomaniacs who are too rich and odd to obey any rules? That seems glib and out of date. Apple and Microsoft are no longer controlled by their founders. Those behind Alphabet were pragmatic enough in 2015 to appoint Ruth Porat, the former finance boss of Morgan Stanley, as its chief financial officer, to instil more discipline. Jeff Bezos’s interest is arguably for Amazon to pay a dividend—in the absence of one he is selling $1bn of his shares every year to raise cash to finance his space-rocket firm.

Valleys of death

Maybe if the tax code is reformed the great cash build up will end. The most mature firms, Apple and Microsoft, would make a large one-off return of cash to shareholders. Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook would adopt sensible frameworks for returning cash to shareholders as their profits soar.

But perhaps these firms love their giant insurance policy. Imperious on the outside, inside they may worry about obsolescence and regulation. Anti-trust authorities are getting hostile. Only five years ago Facebook and Google were struggling with the shift from desktops to devices. Both depend on advertising for over 85% of sales. Apple’s health depends on its latest iPhone, Amazon has thin margins and Microsoft’s profits have yet to rise.

If earnings do soar as forecast, the big-five tech firms could be plotting giant acquisitions of media, car or hardware firms, to diversify away from their core business. But they may simply be uneasy that profits will not rise as high as Wall Street now expects. Either way, the $330bn safety blanket that lets Silicon Valley sleep at night should lead investors to keep one eye open.

Duru9:
I usually don't do social media trends, but one thing I noticed with this Stingy men Association versus the stingy women association is that our women have made themselves look more like prostitutes. I mean, if men say they won't give women money, what more insult can women give themselves by replying with "they can't give men sex?".

Does this now imply that it has always been money in exchange for sex? I don't get it!!

Three years ago, famous Christine Amanpour of CNN was in Ghana and she went to a beauty spa where she interviewed some women who were spending heavily on their hair, nails and facials. She asked a few of them why they embarked on such a jamboree considering the fact that Africa is the poorest continent on earth, one of the women told her "I'm doing this for my man, so that he won't have to look else where". Another said " looking good for my man because these young girls will snatch him from me" and the last one gave a more shocking response. She said, "to get money from my man, I have to look very beautiful for him and I make sure he never lacks sex because that is what he is spending for".

I still remember the disappointing look on Amanpour's face. That look that sums it all and be like "no wonder dem say una nor get sense".

Everything for these women ends in their pussy. No class, no value, nothing but just pussy.

It is such a shame!!! No wonder our men have grown to see you who falls into this category as nothing but "pay for the Bleep" which is nothing by any means different from the job of a prostitute. When your pussy no longer serves his cravings, he ditches you for another and boom! You become another social media feminist.

Good morning!!

Did this really happen?

Pierocash:
I don't get it, I have never spent on her to get sex. I make love to her without her asking for money.

We make love as partners when the mood arises without giving her money in exchange.

I spend for her when her needs arises without asking for sex in exchange.

So I don't get it when they say sex is transactional.

Oga you pay post paid or pre paid.


Same way you use NEPA light and pay the next month!


And if you haven't figured this out yet, I am afraid, you may never go far in life or business.

Because the same principle guides all.

Go read Adams Smith's " Wealth of Nations.

Kriss216:
Transactional sex remains the best for me, No feelings , no emotions, no unwanted pregnancies.

All are transactional even in marriage.

But making it obvious is sickening.

Stingy men - Don't give shisi

Women-- Don't open.


Tomorrow you claim sex isn't transactional.

I guess the right question is "What's your price?"


The above summarises the trend.

It's shameful that each time men are advised not to spend aimlessly on women that women bring up closing of legs.


Does it mean that sex the only thing women can trade to get money from men?

In other words-- if you stop bringing money, we will stop opening our legs.


This is abysmally frustrating because it happens even in marriage.

Abigarnics01:
Something you and your wife have settled, you still brought it here to social media/public . I wonder how some people do things honestly. This is one reason I don't fancy social media anymore.

I doubt it...

A friend was told to extract due to a persistent tooth issue.

When he came to me, I suggested Euthymol toothpaste with CA-C 1000 and painkillers...

Well, he has not felt pain and has been using his full dental cavity wholly well going on 3 years plus.

What's CAC 1000 pls?

Nawao

Thank God for her.

These girls will spread legs once you have money.

Rules are made for poor men only.

Not giving birth to them is the best thing.

Life is tough and meaningless.

Remson23:
I deeply feel irritated at reading this. Simply put, you have to change your impaired mentality. What you are fighting your boyfriend for was what I got embarrassed for doing. I regretted doing it and it still pains me anytime I remember. For clarity sake, let me share my own little experience when I visited my girlfriend's family for the first time: I went to their place on a Saturday evening. I met only my girlfriend and two of her siblings at home. She welcomed and offered me some drinks but I didn't take anything. I was told to wait for her parents that they would join us shortly. After about 45 mins her mum came back from a ceremony she went and later, her dad. My girlfriend knew that I might have a plan of giving them something but she begged me not to do anything of sort - as she found it unnecessary and ridiculous. I didn't yield to her plea. When I was about leaving, I brought out some new 500 notes (about 10k) that I purposely earmarked for the aim of giving her parents. When I handed the money to her father in the presence of the mother and my girlfriend, my girlfriend frowned immediately and felt so embarrassed that she covered her face. Her father asked why I gave them money. He blatantly told me that it was not needed. He told me to keep my money. He and the mother said to me that from their thorough observations, they like me and my personality. They gave me some words of encouragement about my life and career. They told me to always report their daughter to them anytime she does me wrong..... and that they would not spare her if found guilty. Finally, they prayed for me and told me to wait till we are ready to get married before bringing anything for them. Although I liked how they showed support for us but I still felt so embarrassed. After my meeting with them, my girlfriend was so upset with me. She asked me why I still went ahead to give them something despite the fact that she had earlier told me not to. I apologized to her and promised not to do that again. Her parents still call me till now and we still keep in touch. I pray never to have any romantic affair with someone like the OP. It would be so frustrating and annoying.

Oga you should have gone with a gift, not physical money.

Useless atavistic culture.

Instead of finding someone to take the throne via merits.

Policies are just made without thinking about it.
They care not about hardship it will wreak on people.
