lenghtinny:

I verified my Kucoin account with BVN yesterday…

But these exchanges have been acting funny, it might bring the option or not as it is not as stable as the ID card option because I’ve been battling with the BVN option since the beginning of February before I saw it again yesterday

My verification process was smooth, I need guidance on funding the account.

A healthy, personal relationship with your maker... Every other thing is what Yoruba called "panti", that is refuse....The richest man ever lived, King Solomon says it's all vanity and does not define YOU!
If you have that relationship, then you will have rest of mind, you will worry less and watch God takes care of you and yours...
Don't let anyone tells you it's a big house, cute kids, beautiful wife, money in the bank, passport/visas , thriving biz or good job..Rather tell tell them to look at Noah, he has all of this and even more but what happen, he lost everything in the twinkle of an eye but MUCH MORE was restore to him because he has the most important one, a healthy relationship with his maker...You should rather focus on that and stop chasing refuse in d dump site.
On the flip side, you're now in the second half of your life, and that is if you're lucky o, time to reshape your vision and focus on d most important thing ..

You've stated nothing but the truth. Got my car under 30, got a befitting apartment still under 30, got married at 30, lost her in a car crash at 33 and everything becomes useless now. There's nothing to life anymore, life is truly unscripted. I'm just living life, let him use and do me as it pleases him because I'm tired already.
Romance / Re: New Marriage About To Crash. by larrypourl(m): 11:21pm On Aug 09, 2023
I really don't like commenting on things like this, but you and your parents ought to sort out the venue. You're the one they're coming to meet and you can host them anywhere. Why would your family dictate that he should pay for the hall, why can't you do according to your family purse and host them where you're capable of. Una come still request for cow join. He can only assist you by paying for decoration and maybe support for the venue but not forcing such on him.

Una go just talk like say others never do this wedding before. I knew what my father in-law did during my time. Her family took care of the venue cos they're the host while I took charge of the decorations, band, cakes, photography, our clothes and other expenses, each families handled their food separately. My father in-law even told my people to buy whatever we can afford on the list even though we provided all. We team up to have a wedding not extorting the young man to make him feel you're being sold out.


In short, your family didn't do anything since the young man paid for the hall, bought you guys cow sef and still came with food for his people. You're inconsiderate.
Later now your people will be bragging that they did wedding for you abi.
The marriage list is even negotiable. A good and considerate father should be understanding considering the harsh economy realities of the country, yet you mandated him to do all these.
Mark my words, that young man won't hold your family in high esteem again, he lost regards for y'all already and to be honest, you're also not helping matters.

Take it easy my dear,hmmm,"he who Wears crown, they say, feels it " or rather "uneasy lies on the head that Wear crown " It's such a horrific situation.May God Himself console you.l Wonder how this world could be that wicked? Many questions will be agitating your mind over the incident,nonetheless, you have got to cheer up and be man.The one funniest things is, even if you remarry, it cannot be like the first that started life's journey with you.My brother, if you're a Christian, take your hold, on the lord and the scripture for comfort. The Bible says," man that is born of woman is of few days, and full of troubles ".....,......Job 14:1-3.read further. For the first few days, l could not stand to walk until a woman who had a similar experience paid me a visit and told me " why are you behaving like a woman? Stand up joor.!Come out, don't stay alone or ponder on it otherwise you would do yourself further harms" l was almost burnt down our house why cooking and lost in thoughts.The Lord who comforted me will visit you too.What else can l tell you my brother, be courageous. There are some people with extreme cases who would not be comforted. Like a friend whose wife died suddenly, for more than 18 years, after her death, he left her wardrobe as it was,her shoes in her place and all her undies wherever she placed them before her death.That's foolishness and unbelieving! May God help you my friend, take good care of the children she left behind and prepare to meet her in heavens, if she was a believer before her death. Bye for now.Be free to ask questions.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. No child yet. I just pray for speedy healing process.

Why not? Where there's serious love, husband can wait till five years before engaging with another woman. Iam speaking from experience. It took me 5yrs before l remarried after the demise of my wife.For the first one year, l was in delirium and nightmare whether it was true or not.Sometimes when l saw someone that resemble her,l ran after her. At a point, l started seeing her in my dreams and sometimes sleeping by my side.After much persuasions from friends and relatives l decided to remarry.

I'm currently in such situation. It's such an horrible experience I don't even wish on my enemies. I lost her May 6th in auto crash and it's not been easy. Nothing in life matters again at the moment. I don't see myself remarrying in 2years except God gives me a replica of her in looks, character and actions. I've lost interest in life, just masking depression with smiles. I cry almost everyday when I find myself doing things we do together all alone now. I can't even stay in our apartment, her print is allover the house, is it her side of the bed, her favorite spot in the living room, how we eat on the dining from the same plate, how she prepared our meal while I sit or assist in the kitchen cos she always wanted me around, the guest room is filled with her cloths, bed and wardrobe, I can't stand seeing those things. We had plans, all shattered now. Life is vague.

per annum? Even if you are selling handouts.


Better take the extra stress to make

Assistant lecturer don't earn 150k after all statutory deductions. It's less than 110k sef and some institutions don't allow lectures sell handout again. Those guys dey suffer ibeg. Multinational anyday, 350k could rise to 500k in 2 years, 3-5years savings target to jet out of naija. His lecturer salary can't fund is Japa dream if he decides to relocate, he'll be due for promotion every 3 years with an increment less than 15k after promotion. I just hope he won't regret his decision, lectures are leaving academic to industry now as FG no value dem. A whole professor net pay monthly is less than 400k.
A colleague came from the banking sector, spent 2 years as a lecturer and ran back to the bank when sapa wan finish am.
Even if OP saves his 3years salary as a lecturer, he can't buy Tokunbo 06 Corolla or Camry and guy man go still chop, pay bills and flex. If I were him, I'd pick Multinationals and use their funds to jet out of Nigeria.

UK, but you must have a nursing background here in Nigeria first. Either from a University or from a Teaching Hospital. Getting a Certificate from a teaching hospital in Nigeria is usually 2yrs. (Or you can buy one illegally which i wouldn't recommend because you wouldn't have the basic knowledge)

Alright. Thank you.

I think the most important thing people don't take into consideration is what next when you get there, They think once you get there with no money and illegally, that manner will fall from heaven and you will earn millions out of thin air. I always advise anyone thinking of traveling to get a business here that can sustain itself then japa, because when you get there, you must pay in their currency and trust me if you have nothing doing, life is going to be difficult.

Literally everyone you see shouting abroad is not what you think are those that go there and expect to find trees with millions growing on them. I have never been to the US, but Europe a couple of times and my experience has been 10/10.

My Experience.
Avoid Campobasso in Italy grin grin

Don't be surprised by the weird smell when you get to paris, takes a while to get used to it. Not really a smell, just don't know how to describe it.

The mentality of coming to carry a woman from Nigeria to marry, PLEASE DON'T TRY IT. they're worst than the so called western women when they get there, I would recommend getting a wife from the Philippines.

The food in Germany is very bland, alot revolves around bread, the types of bread they have is more than the alphabets.

And last but most importantly, Always compose yourself and act upclass even if you aren't, if you get stop by the cops and asked for documents, kindly give it to them and ask them how their day is going, don't go and start shouting and screaming for junction because they asked for documents.

And if you're lazy kindly stay in Nigeria because you won't make it there.

And for the ladies, the easiest way is to go through a nursing program, You get paid and a guaranteed job when you graduate and just a 2yrs program, no go stand for De Wallen for night dey find client because them go burst you las las grin

What country has a two year nursing program with an assurance of getting jobs when you're done with the program?
Family / Re: Should I Give my working Class Wife Allowance? by larrypourl(m): 5:31pm On Apr 02, 2023
Winneygirl:


40k is not enough for feeding and home maintenance. To even cook a decent pot of soup that will last a few days for both of you, at least 5k.
And you both will still eat other meals 2 more times that day.
Just because you bought bag of rice and semo in the house, it doesn't mean that the kitchen is stocked.
It is not an allowance you are giving her. It is meant to run the home. Food is the biggest expense for any family.
Seperate feeding and home maintenance money. You are not 'giving' it to her.
House rent is once a year and you have 12 months to save towards it. You can ask her to contribute monthly from her salary to a seperate account where you contribute the rent money to.
Increase the feeding/home maintenance to 60-70k.
If she wants an allowance, give her something. A lot of women do a lot of unappreciated labour in the house. All the cooking and cleaning multiple times daily, planning and laundry... hosting your guests etc. If you disagree about the allowance, take over the feeding and home maintenance for a week. She should wake up, dress up and sit waiting for breakfast. Then when she returns, food should be on the table waiting for her. After eating, you do all the clean-up. Do all the laundry. Plan every activity. Attend to all your guests and still find time to call both family members to check on them. When you are done with all these, decide whether someone who does all these deserves an allowance or not.
She's your wife. She will not use the money to run another persons home.

So what should her own money be used for?

Naija is a mess. All these paltry amounts are creating an enabling environment for corruption

Big mess. The problem with Nigerian govt is that they failed to review wages in accordance with inflation, which to me is plain wickedness. You see ASUU and other unions crying and begging for help when govt refused to review their wages for 13/14 years. How can wages remain static for 13years with the double digit inflation we keep having. A graduate assistant employed 13years ago received 90k and in 2023 you're still paying a graduate assistant same 90k, tell me why such lecturer won't extort students to get more money to survive.
The truth is that govt is fueling corruption. Majority of civil servants in Abuja survive and live on corruption because I don't know how they afford to pay rents there.

hmm mm. U are right, but many people are just heartless. They won't change no matter what. I also have a brother here in Nigeria, abuja, our first born. Doing well, real big man, working in federal ministry of justice, abuja, na real Senior staff ooooo, that before u get to his office, u must pass many securities. To cut a story short, he can't help financially, he can't help getting we his siblings a job, or connect us. Even his wife also work in federal interner revenue in abuja, high rank also. Last too weeks, I was so down, even till now, but am just managing myself. I summoned my courage to call him because have knew that he won't help. I sent him message on WhatsApp with prove of my health. It was on sat that day, election day. He replied that haha, that i should pls give her till Monday, that he will run around to help me. I thought in my mind that my brother want run around on top how much. Even have spend more than 50k before I decided to msg him. At last, it was on Thursday my brother sent me money. I was surprised to see just 5k. So u can see many of them can't change, but just heartless. But they can donates for church to show off.

I know FIRS pays well but you see that ministry your brother works. Except he's into runs,he's monthly real salary can't feed him comfortably for a month. Don't be deceived by the AC, big office, secretary and security you see around oo. My boss has spent 35years in service and his total take home is 318k after all mandatory deductions and that's even an agency that pays better than ministries. The only way to be liberated as a civil servant in Naija is to have a business of your own or if you're opportune to be in an office with runs or get good jobs in FG agencies and parastatals. Some of those Assistant Directors in ministries don't take home 250k at the end of the month and have bills waiting for you. Any govt job you're doing without an extra income is penury cos by 2nd week of the month, salary don finish grin

There is a massive road construction that is near completion in that area. I work around there.

I was happy with what I saw when I came home home last year. December 2023 will make it 21years we moved to our house in that area. It was bushy when we moved to our house with good roads. So good that it was the usual spot for learners learning how to drive. I could trek from Igbogbo Model College to Oreyo Grammer School without meeting a single soul on that road except farmers sometimes. Sometimes we could play ball from school till we get to Oreyo cos the road was so smooth and free. Once it's 6pm, you'll never get a bike from either club24 Igbogbo or Igbe junction going to Oreyo, cos no Keke maruwa or bus on that route then, bikes sef were few cos na strictly farm with few residential houses, so route wasn't lucrative for business den, sometimes sef na leg we go use or follow trucks leaving or going to farm, or Papa Ajaasco film crew or other movie crew cos they acted rural or farm scene on that road alot. Papa Ajaasco classics were acted on that route and other 1990s and early 2000s rural settings movies so we get to meet those actors on a regular on that road. And the road went from Good to bad and worse that you'll always pray it doesn't rain cos na wahala to leave Oreyo to Igbogbo or Igbe Junction, so bad it took cars from so many people, some landlords had to move out and sold their properties, it became hard to believe it was same road Mum used to learn driving in 2003/2004. The main roads were abandoned and could used 25-35min journeying from Oreyo to Igbe junction or Igbogbo, which used to less than 5mins when we were young, the communities and estate around tried their best but were overwhelmed. If you washed car before leaving home, by the time you got to Igbe junction or Igbogbo, you'd think they poured mud on our cars. Community members used Newspapers, radio and Tv to appeal to govt, yet nothing was done. I finally left home 2017 but Ambode stared work on that road then Sanwo took over. I was joyous as I drove from Igbe Junction to Odubala Estate to see my people last year October under 5mins with development everywhere. If not for say na my hood, I lost finish. I'm happy for them.

DesireV:

Germanhunter, print this post and paste it on your door, so that you can be seeing it each time you're going out of your house.

No matter what, don't buy a naija used car if you don't know the owner personally.
If you must buy a naija used, then avoid any dealer/agent with any of the following lines "clean title, nothing to fix, used by a woman/banker, barely driven, ** months used etc". If possible, buy only from direct owner and be very certain of why he's selling.
Also, avoid random mechanics. It's easy for them to get induced by the seller just to offload the junk to you. Shitty mechanics full this Nairaland too, it's not only by scanner.

With the cost implications of getting a replacement, I doubt anyone whose car isn't giving him problem will want to sell except if they're traveling out, or financially distressed or not very likely, an upgrade. Imagine someone who got a sound toks 2005 camry at 1.8m in 2021 who has maintained it well till date and the car is still sound. If he sells it even at 2.5m today, 2.5m can't get another toks 2005 camry today, whether sound or not. If he adds 2m to it to make it 4.5m, he'll sweat to get a toks muscle that will give him the kind peace his 2005 camry dey give him. So, nobody go tell him to be using his 2m to be drinking yogurt while cruising his peaceful 2005 camry jejely

Strive and aim for a toks with a detailed usage history from d country of origin.
Better make you they climb bike with peace than buy a car that will pieces your peace. If car stress you for a day, you'll hate cars.

All the best

You see the analysis you gave about selling cars to upgrade is what I'm currently experiencing. Naija don spoil. Got a 2001/2002 Corolla acquired in 2019 for 800k from a friend, that car never spent 2 years on naija soil when I got it, so I can say I bought a Tokunbo car but registered. Fast-forward to 2023, put the car up on Jiji at 1.6m and got cool offer of 1.2-1.3m but had to bring down the advert this evening cos the 05/06 Matrix or Vibe I intend buying were above 2.3m for the grade and standard I want ( can't buy any above 3years used on naija soil). My Corolla is so clean and gave me rest of mind for the entire 4years I've used it. No disappointment whatsoever from that car that I began using it as prayer point for my next car. With the way it is, I better use that over 1m on other projects than car upgrade. The car don tire me but then naija is happening to everyone oo. Got another 1.4m offer after bringing down the ads this evening sef. It's sad, to get Tokunbo grade naija used Corolla, Big daddy and Matrix (all 03-06) you'll be needing over 2.4m at the moment. Make I dey use my Corolla dey go jeje. The peace of mind the car is giving me ehn... I've not seen my mechanic this year, na March ending I go service am again. Na only service dey carry me go mechanic workshop.

In government job your appointment start from the time you are employed, if you are employed at 40 for instance you will retire at 75 not 65

Where did you get this from grin there's nothing like that in the public service rules. You either retire spending the mandatory 35years in service (if you got the job early) or retire once you attain the age of 60.
Those that retires at 65 are teachers (recently approved) and tertiary institution workers while Professors retires at 70. I think Judges too retires at 70.
