menstrualpad:
Depends

On what bro?

menstrualpad:
Well I guess you can add company used vehicles too

But company used cars are okay cos the maintenance of those cars are paramount to them and they don't give their cars out to any kazeem to fix. I can buy Toyota corolla bank series from company if get one no matter the milage.

...yea journalism is not going anywhere coz its in diff form


buh when last have u read newspaper?

Ask yourself why hard copy newspapers still exist. They're going nowhere sir because they're conventional. Go to Government offices, private, etc and see how they subscribe for newspapers, magazines, etc. Hope you saw the amount fg budgeted for 2017 Newspapers and Magazines subscriptions alone ?
They're going nowhere because they're mainstream Journalism. How many advertorials, letters to the editor, Columns, etc will you get in the online version?

Oselu28:
sweet dreams dear,mine is by 10am

Tomorrow is my day so I must wake early tomorrow to avoid water bed from siblings....

I have female married friends but boundaries has to be set and when I call or text I must add greetings to the husband and family and I don't call once its around 5 in the evening and above and also only text during weekends unless its a big problem. You yourself set boundaries

Exactly what I do. Regards to the family if you've got kids, without kids, regards to your hubby. One must be careful and like you rightly said. Op should set boundaries.

Oselu28:

The school the guy left should be Atlantic Hall Epe Lagos.

You're right bro. It's defiantly Atlantic Hall but d pressure in those schools ehn can terminate one's life untimely. You work in a school and there's no diff between you and banker. You leave home early and still get back home at night. Seminar here and there, no time to rest. With time you'll build your pay with d govt job and you'll have time for other things.

Kazrem:
You think so.

Firstly the article is not about where I am now. The lesson here among others is the ability to know what to do at each stage of our life especially as it relates to developing oneself. I could have remained in the private school and remain as I was but chose skill development.

Secondly, I am now paid better, have better experience (as good as private schools maybe, real teaching is done in government school). Who said there is no opportunity for development in government school? In fact, this is where I have a better chance to developed myself. The other day, I told my principal I was going for Teacher's conference at Ikeja and she granted me. This is just one of the many permission given for development. I don't have problem whenever I want to write my school exam.

Lastly, I didn't "end" up in government. I landed my dream job. Most private schools teachers would tell you they prefer a government school to a private. Do you know the benefits of being a civil servant especially in a state like Lagos? Even in another state, it still not comparable to private schools. Except you want to mention the likes of Corona. Even they too do guarantee future incentives like that of state.

Bro that corona you mentioned mehn....its hell working there. pressure every now and then even if you retire spending 25years with them, they can't pay you 400k but your pension is secured sha. Glad you now work with state govt. Lagos state teachers and civil servants are enjoying generally without delay in pay and promotion. Congrats bro.

Nltaliban:
Nothing compared to ui that is to resume second semester today

Brother that school is resuming another fresh session next week. with d newly 100l that wrote jamb some months back resuming on Tuesday and returning students resuming d third week. Now compare both bro. which is faster? OOU don over fast now sef I must confess.

Sorry I quoted you bro.

Toyota trucks are notorious for suffering major steering failure without warning.

The Toyota 4 Runner is a notable example. I have seen a year 2004 Toyota 4Runner suffer multiple, sequential steering ball-joint failures that typically caused one of the front wheels to snap free, and turn sharply against the direction of travel, reducing the driver to the status of a hapless passenger in the blink of an eye.

I owned a Toyota 4WD pickup truck once, and experienced THREE steering failures that required a mechanic to remove the vehicle later. Those failures luckily happened at slow speeds, but such random luck is never guaranteed. In other words, fate does not like to be tempted too often.

When major steering failure occurs at highway speeds, vehicles can get airborne, and execute spectacular cart-wheels, spewing their occupants in the process, so, to reduce your chances of being one of such airborne passengers, do not buy, or travel aboard, a Toyota truck of any description.

My brother you're very correct. Tundra 2001 ball joint get issues. E don tear 2times for my hand. The engine is too heavy for that joint.

DonX001:
My dear, I agree with you, maybe not all Nissans...
But if you make mistake go buy that Altima 03-04, you'll not only curse ALL Nissan cars, you will also curse their creators, their creators fathers and even all their village members

True, just like Toyota too. Our Toyota tundra 2001 ball joint dey misbehave anyhow but engine wise, it's intact. I prefer Toyota thou.

Ptwealth:
Follow friends please I want to get a car and am so much in love with BMW cars but rili don't know about its fuel consumption rate, cost of maintance and all that please help a brother out.

Op is it your first car? if yes go for Toyota or Honda jeje to avoid stories that touches the heart.

I won't say more than that.
Peace out!

NovaCare:

Me i go yarn, me i go speak my mind, me i go yarn, dem think say we blind, make we yarn, why are my people so poor, we can't take this no more ..

As i reach yankee, i see say d life wey my people dem dey live na nonsense.. As i reach yankee, i see say to solve our problems e no hard, common sense.

Then also talking about how our leaders travel, seeing but ignoring how things are done over there and then returning to form policies 'wey go make dem to rich and my people to poor'... Damn, memories bro.


Bought that album in 2007, it's his first album after he returned from the states in 2006.. I recall i was passing by a record shop, heard a song blasting with this foreign accent, a rap song, got curious and i asked who did it, they showed me the album and i discovered he was Nigerian.. Bought the album and i became a fan immediately, bought every of his album afterwards..

Me and my brothers loved him, dude is so talented and super intelligent as well.. One of my kid bro who was an aspiring rapper had to coin the name 'Eldee J' meaning Eldee Junior for himself, lol.. Unfortunately he passed on in 2012 at 19, #Sad..

Enough said, my love for this dude remains. He will do no wrong in my eyes..

Truly you're a fan cos if he released another album tomorrow you'll defiantly go for it.
Sorry about your kid bro.

Not being a tribalist ooo but how can an ipob member become the bursar in a school located in the southwest. Check the principal officers in schools in the east, you hardly find a single Yoruba as there principal officer, later Ipob people would come and start screaming that they are being marginalized... Issokay oo God is seeing you people

It's a Federal Institution bro so Federal character must be considered.

Togolese ke? What happened to American?
I really don't see myself using lines on a grown ass man. I hate when guys use it on me, except if it's written like poems ill direct my conversation towards his interest. Back it up with actions. Most guys are football lovers. We can talk about footballers in general. I remember asking a guy what's hatrick and brace, he took his time explaining to me...I come pity am. I just wanted to start a conversation. We progressed from there.
My dp is cute!!!

Madam change that dp, it's scary mehn... I must do proper devotion before sleeping tonight with what I saw there.

I understand that she did wrong here,but crying and opening up to him simply means there are some things she's been enduring, she can't just change like DT....

The family is gone. Only God can restore that marriage

eyinjuege:
I don't see a car as such a valuable to attach so much sentiments to. That's me personally.
The only reason she probably instructed her son not to allow his father drive the car she bought with her money is so that he doesn't carry his new baby mama and child in it.
I feel that's fair enough, as most people will not want their wives to carry her lovers in a car they bought for her.
So it's not really about turning the OP against his father.
Allowing the father drive her car (and he'll definitely carry his new family in it) is just like rubbing salt/pepper on a fresh wound.
The Ops mother has her blames, but so does the father.
The only reason the OP still has any respect for his father is because his mother is successful enough to meet all his needs, so he has never really experienced any lack.
If all his mother's hustles didn't pay off, and he's had to struggle to feed, clothe, pay school fees despite his father earning reasonably well I'm very sure he would probably be saying a different story about his dad.
Like I said, hunger is no man's friend, and those who struggled with irresponsible parents are the best to give an objective view of this. I see a lot of threads on NL attesting to such.

God bless you for that piece. My ex family was like that. D mother build their house, pay about 5 children's school fees, accommodation, every year, from her petty business cos of d pressure on her, her business collapsed and started all over again and the father makes money too but will never send ordinary pocket money to the children. The man travelled one time and the woman never allowed him into her house again. Imagine the man that always complain of being broke went ahead and rent apartment in magodo, 3 bedroom flat when he's the only one staying alone and paid 1.1m for 2 years. where did he get the money from? some men are just cruel.
People just advice but once you have a friend or family members in such mess then you'll understand how it feels.

GoodFaith:
If a son or daughter is blaming one of the parent for the problem at home
95% the person the son or daughter is blaming is the cause of the problem
don't be fooled

I understood you but with what d Op stated. You can't completely blame the woman in this matter, larger % of the blame is from the man. She's trying to balance both but one will never equate the other. Let me tell you something about woman. once you impregnate another woman in a relationship, the trust is completely gone forever coupled with a man who doesn't know his responsibility. The woman will never take him serious ibeg

You all blaming d woman continue ooo,when you get there you'll understand how it feels.

Your dad isn't responsible and sorry if that statement hurts you. I'm a man and once you refuse to take up your responsibilities as a man without been handicapped in terms of finance and others then you've failed and you'll begin to loose it gradually till it explode as the case of your family. For Christ sake what's your dad doing with 400k monthly without including his family in his plans that your mum will have to cater for 80% of your family running cost.

My brother just be thankful to God your mum have u children at heart and bought you guys car for family movement just to cover up your dad's inadequacies and taking up responsibilities meant for him.

You complained of mum not cooking for him again, when a woman happened to be the bread winner of a family, you as the man must face your ego and try supporting her because you don't expect her to return from long trips and then rush to the kitchen and like you said she now moves on state sponsored trips, all your dad needs is to support and look out for ways of making money through her by persuading her to connect him with contracts and tap from other opportunities if he had kept his ego thou. and to make matter worse he impregnated someone again, no matter the forgiving spirit in her,she'll never forget because her efforts in trying to make the family live comfortably had been shattered with that singular act and so she'll feel there's no need updating your dad about her movements and plans anymore. Trust isn't built overnight and may be difficult to fix once it's compromised.

Carry your dad with the car and when she complains let her understand he's your father and you're responsible to both of them. I'm sure she won't want to loose you as d only child.
Why you no go carry your papa if u see meet am for road.?

My advice for you is to manage the relationship between your dad and mum with wisdom so you don't loose all, don't be biased, and be objective enough in your thinking.

Enjoy the rest of your day and manage my typo or grammatical errors as I dey rush type

Aquariann:
From my time on Nairaland, I think the issue with most Nairalanders is that most of them are city dwelling. i.e they are mostly found in (or live in) Lagos, Ogun, Abuja, PH, Benin, Asaba, Owerri, Calabar etc.

The general cost of living in these places always affects their perspectives and sense of judgement about life in Nigeria generally.

For example, because N1000 can't cook a decent pot of soup in Lagos, Abj, or Ph, no one elsewhere in Nigeria should/can claim to have made a decent pot of soup with 1k.

So with this mindset above, a man earning say 100k a month in Lagos and is still struggling to make ends meet, rent, fees etc would never believe an okada rider in a small town like say Obudu, has built a decent 3 bedroom flat.

They'll ask you was it built with sticks? But just like the Op stated, they only made use of mud blocks and cement to hold the blocks together and for pillars as the case may be. By the time the house is plastered and painted, you'll never know it wasn't built with cement blocks.

Same way if you tell them one can buy a half bag of potatoes for less than 1k in a town/village in Benue, they'll argue just because they can't in the City.

My point is, people earning way less than the op are doing just fine.

All I can say is "Nairalanders, please travel and see".

Bro you've spoken. The Op will be fine. I have a friend who got married in Oyo town 2 years ago with a salary of 27-28k, he works as a clerical staff at a federal institution there, has bsc but took that up when job wasn't forthcoming, that one sef na with connection to penetrate Federal govt job cos once you're in you'll sort yourself out and apply for conversion to senior staff in due time. Visited him this year for his naming and he's doing well, even called musician for naming. He stays in a 2 bedroom flat which yearly rent isn't up to 55k with fenced compound and water running everywhere in the house with and in Lagos to get such apartment you need about 300k+ . All am saying is that there are peaceful locations you can stay in Nigeria and you'll enjoy your life peaceful without digging hole in your pocket to enjoy life.

His decision.
