So I went to purchase some household items at a popular joint in Ikotun. I requested for four painters of garri and was told 10k!! I had to repeat my request that it was four painters and not half bag oo. The seller smiled and confirmed the price.
WTF!! 10k for just four painters of garri, that means a painter will go for 2k.
I sadly had to cut my budget to meet up with the money I had at hand. On my way home, I kept wondering how ordinary Nigerians like us will survive if things keep on skyrocketing like this.

Pls anyone with a better idea on how to survive this harsh economy should help. For the record, I don't and can't do yahoo so pls don't suggest it.

Na that yahoo you go later beg to do last last

I return a bag that contain $7200 together international passport and some important items, the lady gave me $20 as a reward i politely reject it.

She no try abeg. She for close eye give you the 200 on top. Humans sef.

If you hadn't returned it at least getting the passport and other items might cost her like 3000.

Daniel7543:
baba i disagree with you. It can happen anywhere in the world. Didn’t you see what Liverpool fans did to Real Madrid bus in 2022 in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 when dey arrived to play champions league.

Didn’t you see what Brazilians 🇧🇷 fans did to their own bus when dey got knocked out of World Cup

Nigeria is really a good country 🇳🇬.
We can’t do this to our super eagles no matter how woeful dey perform
We can only throw tantrums at dem on the internet but we can’t attack dem like this.

Seems you were not in the country for the world cup qualifiers against Ghana.


That was even a draw 1-1 and Ghana were lucky with the away goal rule. Fans unleashed mayhem in the stadium by destroying somethings. Now imagine Nigeria had now lost 4-0. It could have been worse

obesse:
See the manipulative power of women at work! The time will come when you would understand and I just pray it would not be too late then.
I am speaking from experience. I wish God could bring back my own Father for just 24 hours, so I could hug him, cry on his shoulders and ask him to forgive me! I wish my Father could arise from his grave, so I could spend some money on him.
It took almost 40 years before I knew the whole truth! Alas, it was too late!!

Na lie

Which truth

Who blinded you all the while

Jennyclay:
As matter of fact 95% of women want to leave their marriages.
Things are really happening in marriage/relationships that i just don’t want to say it out. What Nigerian men are using our eyes to see. eh! hmmmm!

All what men want is sex!! After sex, they treat you like trash! Some men would even beat and rape their wife and tell her to her face that there’s nothing like rape in marriage. . Bunch of sickos!!

The honest truth is, there’s nothing a man can bring to my life that I can’t get myself. I enjoy my own company and I don’t feel the need or want to get married. I don’t think it will add anything to my life at all.

I got out of two long term back-to-back abusive relationships in 2020 and have pretty much sworn off men. I don’t need a man to make me happy and I will continue to hate men!

Mumu girl

You can get things for yourself indeed

This one that worships anything that looks like it has money

FengChui:


You de mind the ignoramus? Na people like them dey cut certain percentage from their allowance to pay men on a steady.

Pay men my foot because na teenager or na baby you think say u dey follow talk

Itooweak4una:


Well, i haven't had sex for like 2 years now and honestly there's no difference between then when i was having sex constantly and when i didn't. I believe all those feelings are just in our head. Anyways, I'm not trying to discourage you ooo.

Lies

BRATISLAVA:


Then why demonize having many children since it clearly is not a result of that?

My dear giving birth to so many children is not ideal when you haven't solved your financial issues. Having many children is not the cause of poverty but it further improvishes anyone already in it.

Imagine the scenario of a couple minimum wage earners having 8 kids. To do what na? They have further sunken themselves into poverty by breeding that number of kids.

Do you know the amount required to raise a kid not to talk of 8 and you're a low income earner

Kennyswag:
no cult guy fit threaten me because eiye and ake top men dey my family

You even sounding proud that you have family members involved in cultism. If my brother gets involved in cultism. I will never be happy about it because I know a day is coming I might never see him again and cultism draws it closer.

Say no to cultism

Kennyswag:
no cult guy fit threaten me because eiye and ake top men dey my family

Really? Hmmn just pray to be the right place at the right time. What if you are far away from home?

Tijani009:

Na only white light u go see last.
Nonsense joncing guy!!

Funny

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil on a norms. So whether na PH or Benin or wherever I'm covered

BRATISLAVA:


Why do you people like to act as if having many children is the cause of people who have (financial) problems in life?

What about the people with many children who don't have that problem? Having fewer children is not the solution to lifes problems, so please, stop looking down on and bashing such people.

There are homeless people who have never been married and have no children, living rough on the streets. Which "5 children" do you blame for that happening?

Yes their are homeless people without children but it would be worse if those homeless people now have so many children to constitute nuisance in the future.

Tijani009:

Meet me 2moro 11pm for that bet9ja shop19th street make we talk the matter well

Many things to attend to Baba I no get time. My movement is triangular

Cruzmaster:

JoshTim:

WiszyFraud:
Did you know??



Why fear death when life is the one that mistreats you??

Honestly I look forward to it

AFvckingAlpha:
$200, that’s cool. Go and farm retroactive airdrops e.g Zksync etc Or you can try out spot trading but $200 is not so much of a capital and you need strong signals. NFT’s are pumping as well or you can degen.

Good thing you know bet will handle you, the 200k won’t last 2 months even if you’re careful with the betting cos you’d always be chasing losses.

Or better still keep your 200k, take your time and Learn forex and start trading, there are free groups you can learn. Your $200 can be your base capital.

Or You can add some little change and buy a good laptop and learn a tech skill, basically any high income skill.

You must be ready to work like you’d suffer and I don’t literally mean suffering or else you’d just be going round circles.

Those are the legit ways I can think of unless you want to go into fraud, 200k is a good start for tools if you have a good smartphone. Just find one good update and work tirelessly.

I said what I said

I wish I saw this your advice like 3 months ago but nevertheless I will bounce back

SweetBuns:
I will never understand why some people do procedures like BBLs and such
Like why?
As for me and house, we are very happy with the features God naturally bestowed on us

I'm happy with it too

frozen70:


What a teary story of a family who struggles to meet up

You guys are not cursed, the only problem I see there us poverty, which your parents couldn't brahe during his prime time

But God will Mahe away soon fir your family

As fir your brother in jail, his stubbornness put him there because you warned him before now

Let him serve his jail term and he will be out soon

For you and others try not to have much children so thst you can care for their future and education no matter the income

I appreciate your efforts to raise yourself to the point you are
Pls don't give up

I love the way you said his parents misused their primetime

If I were him and he believes in the curse. I'd rather not father any kid than give birth to children to continue the lineage of poverty

People blame ancestral curse over their own mistakes and doing. Why breed 5 children in poverty. When you can get 1 and give him the best with your limited resources

Imagine losing your life as a youngman hustling because of poverty. Kai

The children of the G.O you go to their church to shout amen to have their kids in UK with British accent

Demigod22:


Hahaha, power pass power, comrade. That was when I realized that girls can do extreme things if they love you. I was begging this girl and she was doing everything to please the guy just to save my sorry ass.

This guy will slap me and tell me that the girl must not know that he slapped me.

And you no stab am for neck?

Travel comot from the place. Nobody go do you anything. It will register as self defense in the law court. I hate nonsense

what a wicked world someone spent 5 years in school to graduate and earn less than 100 dollar working from Monday to Saturday a month. God forbid BAT TIN e no go better for Naija. In 2014 as a young boy straight from secondary school I was earning 150 dollars N24,000.

Now a graduate is going to get less than 100 dollar for a month.

Damn emancipate yourself from slavery my people

Kobojunkie:
I am glad you indicated that this is a Christian Ritual. No follower of Jesus Christ who was sent only to the Lost Sheep of Isreal would be caught dead praying in public where anyone can see or hear him - Matthew 6 vs 6 - 15. Disobedience of this Law pitches one from among the class of the Pharisees.

So the preachers praying in the early mornings on the street are Pharisees?

MindHacker9009:
They like speaking in THONGS🩲👙

And what has it changed?

The normal preaching of are you born again?

Yes I'm born again

Oh that means you have the holy spirit in you

Me: yes I have

Okay can we just pray in tongues as was done in the Bible

Me: No please I don't speak in tongues


Bother still persuading me and citing verses in the Bible where people spoke in tongues.

Me: Bro I'm not speaking in tongues because I don't feel like and I won't

Please how do you want to preach to a person and the first thing is ask if they are born again and if they say yes you now want them to start speaking in tongues

Like please stop it! It's not funny ok

Speaking in tongues won't change anything happening to the person. Please stop it!

Chevrolet076:



That guy ridiculed you gaan OOO... Omo see embarrassment. Say make you dey monitor the girl for him, your own girlfriend

Just imagine Once you appear fearful they prey on that. By the time you give them last warning and involve the military everyone go give way.

Have you tried deliverance?

Forget all these atheist you see on nairaland

God really saves one from addiction

Sonnobax15:

Yeah...That was way back in 2012....A guy whom i sold my mp3 headset to didn't want to pay me....In stead,he threatened to chase me out of my workplace........ Unknowingly to him that my elder brother was also in the same cult with him....A lord for that matter . It got to a point when I had to report him to my brother.....On one fateful evening,my bro went with some of his guys to go and track am down..Na so dem tie this nigha comot from him mama house...He was crying and begging but it was already too late........Las las,my bro took the headset from him,sold it and ate the money without giving me shishi

All man for himself

You think he tracked the guy because he loves u as a kid bro? Naa he just did it to prove a point
