Gaming › Re: This Video Game Made Life Fun For 80s And 90s Kids (Throwback Photos) by laivwire(m): 11:37am On Sep 05, 2025
I had this. Also had the Nintendo 64, Family com, PS 1, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Vita, Gameboy DS.

This was before the Vcd times or when we switched to NFSMW on computer.

Lol. You are just blabbing here and there. Pls relax. Wasting 18 years abroad doing factory jobs is not a success. Many of my colleagues left Nigeria to that your UK with a band 7 sponsorship , spent just 2 years on the job and moved to Canada. If you have a good skill, you wont be as stagnant as this.
It doesn't mean you should be rude. He didn't say he spent 18 years on factory jobs and please learn to speak for yourself and not ride on your friends success. You're not a scrub, are you?

Many people with funds to Japan are already established in their line of profession. Only few can go back to the drawing board to restart or pivot to another trending career.

Skill is not enough and luck always plays huge role. "Near success syndrome" is very real and some people are just unlucky to have someone else upend them even though they are well qualified.

You have to eat and live so you do anything to survive. That's not stagnancy, its simple logic and common sense.

With the rubbish you wrote up there, your post needs to be reported and put down.

Japa o.

Option 2 is business. If you good in a particular business, put all the money in. You would get paid as business is by volume.

Option 3: depending on the money, buy an expensive land use it as a collateral for a loan. Throw the loan into Option 2.
Health › Re: I Trek Alot, Should I Be Worried For My Old Age Periods..? by laivwire(m): 4:16pm On Aug 28, 2025
Many people who drive set time aside to walk so it's good but it also has its side effects.

Walking long distances perpetually can make your knees give way at some point because by walking, you are running two bones against each other constantly. Moderation is key.

2. The harsh tropical Nigerian Sun is not something to fiddle with. If you continue walking long distances under the hot sun, you may soon suffer from dehydration, lack of fat or energy reserves, sunburns. We've not factored in sweaty clothes, body odor, loss of confidence in arriving flustered to work or having your colleagues drive past en route or you depart last at the work gate because you're trekking.

Without good shoes, your shoe soles will deteriorate, your feet soles will blister and your calf muscles will cramp. Let's not forget that you would arrive your destination exhausted and hungry, and lose valuable time in transit.

In summary, gauge yourself. Sometimes that transport fare is worth it.

Family › Re: I Need Honest Answer Please by laivwire(m):
Solved55:
Can the action be justified ? I mean her action
It is not justified in any way. There are more dignified means of sourcing for money. Since this is a repeat behaviour, leave her to her reprobate mind. You sef enjoy your share as she has become public property. Continue to try your best to make a good life for yourself and the kids.

Or if she desires, convert her talent to a global business by going mainstream. You would be her manager with 10% cut.

Shame to all those supporting this woman. Are you making as much money as you want despite your ability to "hustle". Should you be put to shame simply because you cannot attain a certain level of wealth?

It's so annoying now and with the end of free updates pushing every Windows 10 user to a Windows 11 by October, they are about to ramp up.

I turned off app updates a while back for some peace but these anti trust practices are going too far.
Romance › Re: How Masturbation Saves My Life. by laivwire(m):
Please stop pushing this rhetoric. You would rather watch yourself having sex than mst.urb.ting. It's a disgusting, addictive act meant for those who are only seeking an easier way out.

It would drain you and distract you, cost you energy and valuable time. You would always feel tired and the ugly part is unlike sex which is scarce and makes you limit your attempts, you can engage in mst.ub.tn anytime leading to excess.

Let's stop misleading our generation.

Make up for the camera evidently. You would only know her true state when you see her in person and her mannerisms. At least some progress is in place.

Education › Re: Hear My Story, Advice Me... by laivwire(m): 8:12am On Aug 10, 2025
If you love MBBS this much, you should have retried in 300 and 400 level.

Time is not a luxury you have anymore and while I believe having a desirable qualification today can determine the trajectory of your life, losing another 8 years to study Medicine would set you back considerably.

What's your main ambition really, the Doctor title and nobility of the profession or the opportunity to make a higher income and livelihood or the willingness to treat people? This would determine what I can advise you.

Now you're officially on your own and you now take direct responsibility and consequences for your actions.

Except you have a skill that you've used professionally over the last few years, don't bother starting a business.

Now is the time to milk all your contacts from friends, relatives, fellow corpers, mentors, former teachers and literally anyone you've had a good rapport with. Maintain contact, subtly keep in their minds that you're job searching and ready to provide value.

Make yourself useful at every opportunity but don't be a pest and don't sacrifice your finances for actions that won't give you any return. Volunteer, send emails on LinkedIn, write posts and make yourself visible to everybody.

If you have a field in mind, look for a company "close" to your residence and offer to work free on a "part time basis". Emphasis. This could be half day or two days in a week.

If you have a skill you desire to learn, go an enroll and start learning but be ready to follow through so you don't waste your time. Just be sure you do your honest research on how you can make money with that skill 1 year down the road.

It's not a crime to go back to your father's house too while you hunt. Save every penny.

Good luck.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Any Reviews On This Company, Simba Group? by laivwire(op): 3:03pm On Aug 03, 2025
This is one of the worst nightmare for any ambitious Nigerian graduate seeking a promising job.
Thanks for this review as it's really important information you can't find anywhere else on the internet.

EFGH:
Hello there...

Did you accept the job offer with Simba Group? if yes Kindly share with me your experience with them.

Thank you
No, I stated above that I boycotted the interview. I joined another much bigger Indian company around that time and even though my position was a mid level cadre, Indian companies generally do not give a comfortable work environment both in Nigeria and globally.

If you have other options even with lesser pay, take them with both hands over Indian companies.

That's my two cents.
Business › Re: Dangote Daughters Take On Leadership Roles As Billionaire Tycoon Steps Back by laivwire(m): 5:14pm On Aug 02, 2025
Kingpele:
This children of dangote is as smart as their father. I had the privilege of meeting fatima at a business forum organisation by their company as a distributor of dangote salt ...that lady is very humble...she took a private pics with everyone of us and interacted with us intelligently...that lady is very smart....and I believe others will be like her....moreover dangote won't have kept them in his business if they're not smart...he would have paid for them to enter other fields like music and movies
Even if shes dumb, she would certainly have top class education, experience ancd exposure which are some of the key ingredients for smartness. The rest she would take genetically from her father even if they are recessive genes.

Romance › Re: What Is Wrong With Me! My Relationships Don't Last Up To 3 Months by laivwire(m): 6:34pm On Jul 27, 2025
It's you who's trying to impress. There are ladies who date with no financial exchange.Some ladies even spend on their broke boyfriends or empty their mother's provision store for him.

It pays to lay all cards on the table from the start. Don't give room for anything you won't accept.

Also, improve yourself. When you see a beautiful lady looking smart, fit, well dressed, with good diction and a budding career, she became desirable because she took time and effort to improve herself. You should too and see if your story won't change.

It is venomous yes.

You guys don't know how difficult it is to stay awake in a meeting where you're not saying anything and simply sitting down.

I've had a couple of those and even when I try to keep myself awake by drinking coffee and writing notes, my lines go haywire and eyes glaze over.

The only help is to stand or take a walk which he can't do in this instance. Poor man.

I've been there once. Beautiful place. It's a shame that the Nigerian Public administration factor would inevitably run it down.

I guess they should start thinking of divesting all the shares to a private entity to keep it running.
