Education › Re: I Want To Learn French! by laivwire(m): 2:22pm On Jul 12, 2025
alkines:
Thank you for the this…

I want learn majorly for speaking. The rest will come much later. Not necessarily for exam
Speaking is one of the most advanced forms of learning a language. You would have crossed the benchmarks of reading and writing before you attain speaking and then listening. I think the fastest route for speaking is by immersion and this entails frequent exchange with other listeners and speakers who can correct you.

Its best you sign up for a standard french program after which you visit a francophone country. Thankfully, a lot of African countires are francophone and we are bordered on all corners by francophone countries.

All these hide and seek games with price is just so the buyer doesn't get a transparent way of knowing the true value of the car. Isolate buyers and give them your price when they call. No wahala.

Someone else has posted this same car on the platform and put the price. Hopefully we would get to see more transparent adverts someday.

Romance › Re: My Fiancé Has Stopped Requesting For Sex All Of A Sudden! by laivwire(m): 8:01pm On Jul 06, 2025
There are different things here.

First you are using sex as a weapon which men like me hate with passion. Maybe him as well.

On the other hand, you feel cheated because he's getting what he wants and you're not.

Admittedly, it's hard to have no sex in a long term relationship among non virgins or non -celibates. It's even harder to stop when you've started.

Yes, he wants it. He's only proving tough with you and he's not enjoying the treatment .I can tell you that.

To even the field, you need to guage his trajectory. How do you see your relationship? Is he serious and honest with you? If you have doubts, then perhaps stop giving him altogether and put the relationship on pause until you're certain you guys are on the same page.

If you're confident about his intentions, then you need to ask him straight. Women need to add the pressure too because young men aren't usually ready to ponder on marital topics.

In addition, men in committed relationships do not want to be put in an honest yes or no position. Ask him straight what his intentions are and he has to give a straight answer. If he turns you left and right, save yourself the stress and move on.

OP you sef,
STOP MUMUING YOURSELF!

If everything you wrote is true, then sit her down and tell her your concerns, let her understand how much of a burden it is for you to foot ALL THE BILLS.
Unless you are telling lies and you dont actually foot all the bills because I dont understand this type of inconsiderate behaviour she is displaying.

If after having a nice and civil discussion with her she still refuses to help with finances, then STOP HELPING HER WITH HOUSE WORK AND BE SELFISH AS WELL, IF SHE ASKS FOR ASSISTANCE THEN TELL HER SHE CANNOT FORCE YOU TO HELP OUT WITH HOUSE WORK.
It's not by housework, he is burning cash.

Family › Re: My Marriage Is Shaking: I Settle All Bills Abroad by laivwire(m):
Liazz:
Am I being unreasonable being mad at my wife?
We relocated abroad 3 years ago but she isn't helping to settle any of the bills.
We both are gainfully employed though I earn much than she does. Our monthly expenditure is about £2000 and she doesn't care to help in any way. I foot all bills making me struggle to save while she keeps all she earns to herself. We also had a loan of over 10 thousand pounds to settle when we relocated, she didn't help with a dime till I paid all bits by bits which took me almost 2 years.
Despite this, I still help with house chores like taking care of our kids, home cleaning and even washing dishes though she does all the cooking.
I've expressed my displeasure several times but she keeps insisting I can't force her to financially assist, it's my job as I'm the husband. She seems convinced she isn't doing any wrong and no sign of remorse whatsoever.
I financed our relocation 100% without her contributing a dime.
This is causing a strain in the marriage and I am thinking if I am unreasonable in my demand, am I?
Your comments are highly welcome.
Cheif, you're not being unreasonable. This is not naija, bills are plenty. You have to expressly state that she contributes or start planning your exit. I hope you have some emergency funds/assets stashed back in Nigeria before the bailiff comes knocking on your door.

Science is evidence-based and not beer parlor talk. Science is not based on "I think or I've seen" but verifiable evidence based on research and hard facts.
As if scientific research has no limitations. Follow Google and ignore on-the-ground information (aka beer parlour gist). You're on your own.

She should provide empirical evidence that can be referenced

No be by word of mouth

Data from a research published in The Lancet shows Benue has the highest prevalence with (5.7%), Rivers (5.2%), Akwa Ibom (3.5%), Edo (3.4%), and Taraba (3.0%) and this is supported by data from different source.
Dey there: That's for only those who get tested. Simple logic shows that illicit sex with a partner you can't vouch for exposes you to the danger of literally sleeping with maybe 50 people. What are the odds one of them doesn't have it. Slim.

Yes, there are ARVs but at this rate when so many people start lookng for the meds, you would be at the mercy of the government for your life. Go and see how PLWHA people are queueing in hospitals because their lives depend on it. Its medication for life and you can't afford to skip the dose for a single day no matter where or what you are doing. If the virus doesn't kill them, hypertension will.

An elder who is really close to me had to undergo surgery recently for an unrelated illness so they ran multiple tests on him and yes, he was positive. I saw the results live and I almost fainted.

Lets be careful. The level of damage of this thing would soon show in a few years from now.

Autos › Re: Why Do Nigerians Wrap Old Used Cars With Cellophane Like Bread by laivwire(m): 12:17pm On Jun 17, 2025
I figure what happens is they take the car for detailing (thorough cleaning) after which the cleaners wrap the upholstery as an added service.

What is annoying however are those who drive these cars around with the polythene still on. Some other put white stickers on the door handles and fenders defacing the car further.

Omoapena:
20 trips in 30mins, y'all can really dream o. I believe that 20trips is within 50metres distance for it to be completed under 30mins and is that how people frequently demand for their service in market?
Let's be real sha.
Trips made in 30 minutes can fetch about #1000. Let's say go&come each is #100 so that's like #9k max for about 4 hours work.

It's impossible to work full 8 hrs of the day, every day of the week so it's still way less than half of #20k actually.

This Op's mission is DOA.

That same Wheelbarrow wey dey reign now for internet will give you that amount or double everyday. Just go to ariaria Aba, Tetlow road Owerri etc to confirm for yourself. Yes, They need to work hard but not necessarily overworked. That amount can be made within the morning or evening with just one container offload. Normally it's around 3-5 guys offloading one trailer in a few hours.
I have to agree with you because 20 trips at #1k for 30 minutes is not far fetched but I still have my doubts because I'm sure they would be paying taxes. They may also be renting the wheelbarrows but who knows. The Op may have just found his calling 😄

if you think the 20k daily
profit for 500k investment is much.what will you have to say with some people with zero capital investment yet take home more than 20k daily for daily mineal jobs ?
Which menial job? Which of these guys get jobs of #20k consistently every day of the year?

Even if they do, do you how long they have been in the business. They would even be dead from being overworked😄

80% profit per month. Isn't that money doubling.

When it's not cbex or some other fraud scheme. Unrealistic.

You need to carry an automatic rifle for this kind of business but you life may be cut short sooner than expected sha.

Romance › Re: How Much Will Change Your Life In Nigeria Without Going Abroad by laivwire(m): 4:57pm On Jun 09, 2025
No amount. It's not what you have in atore that counts, it's what's coming in every day, week or month on a regular. (Cash flow)

Even #50m will go down the drain in one year if you don't have something reliable you're doing with it. Bills will eat up everything from travel, school fees, car and house repairs, failed businesses and deals etc

Even if you keep it in Piggybank or whatever, the interest rate will not be sufficient.

It's more important to build yourself in terms of skill or business and use that to feed and grow. You can then build at least 12 houses that will pay you month salary when you're old and geriatric.

Travel › Re: Has Nigerians Stopped Relocating Abroad? by laivwire(m): 7:32pm On Jun 08, 2025
The primary reason is the major channels of japa have closed or become too restricted. Poor forex has also added an additional barrier.

Tuition fees are so high, you can't bring your family as a student anymore and skilled migration faces very tight global competition for selection.

But if you still have the chance and means, please japa o. It's when you travel you realise the opportunity to truly live free.

Nigeria is not built to support the average person to financial success.
Romance › Re: I Need Help Before I Take This Decision by laivwire(m): 7:11pm On Jun 08, 2025
I would love to drop my 2 cents as well.

You can try to think logically about religion and it's demands and some things just don't make sense..but this same logic cannot explain a multitude of things happening in the world today.

Nature is simply beyond human capabilities and understanding and we keep learning something new everyday even though we've been on here for tens of thousands of years. Even the global political sphere is spiralling out of control because no man can claim control over everyone.

Following this thought trajectory, you would soon arrive at the conclusion that there is a need for a supreme being, the absence of whom all you see today would not exist.

In your personal life as well, you would soon réalisé you can't control many things, neither can the humans you look up to....and that why people resort to a higher being which explains the multiple religions/doctrines we have today.

Now we have free will and can choose whatever faith we want and abide by it's rules. This is not by church or pastor but by the supernatural. Simply put, 1000 people in a church could all have different beliefs.

Hold on to your belief. If your beliefs go against tithes and offerings, don't pay it and don't be cajoled or intimidated to do so. That won't prevent you from entering the church everyday to dance to praise and worship.

But if your understanding of your personal faith says you should do somethings you feel uncomfortable with but are necessary. You would do it, no questions asked.

Forget all the high prices you see online. Hot the streets and you would get a good car with that amount.

It won't be luxury and it won't be a new model but it will serve you and protect your family from rain.

Look for clean cars of 1999 to 2001. Honda Accord, CRV, Nissan Sunny, Honda Civic and perhaps a golf.
