Oga God will not punish your brother and his wife for pushing you. Life is not about fine boy. You don't just get angry and quit a job because you are not paying rent. Go get something doing and stop turning people that helped you to bad people.

If your brother does not want you he will not ask you to come. But you come now dey eat his food and quiting job. Nobody will be happy about that.
My wife keep talking of how her 3 siblings that eat like elephant want to come stay with us but my bro that said he will come stay 3 days don turn quarrel though she just gave birth but women don't like theit in laws coming around. Just stay a short time and go
Please except you are sure of your brothers wife stop going to stay with married brothers better go and stay with married Sister.

This might be too long for some peeps pls bear with me. I noticed this section is popular so I will put this hear. I finished school 2019 rounded up service 2020 and came to Lagos around this time same year. I'm 24 years old. I came over hear in other to further my career. Getting a good job has been hard and the other jobs I did get even tho slightly lucrative where not good for my mental health. Dealing with a toxic boss and senior workers was hectic.I feel they were threatened by my cuteness and some almost got physical amidst small alterations. I quit the other job because I was literally spending hours in the traffic going and returning. I'm kinda on the introvert side of life so I get overwhelmed spending roughly 6 hours in traffic per day.

So back to the heading, my brother is not being nice with me. He's putting too much pressure on me knowing I just came to Lagos and starting life. He has money but doesn't want to empower anybody. He's of the opinion that everyone should suffer or in his words hustle before they get anything. I have seen a family where one brother makes money and uplifts all his FAM either thru business or further education. I have dreams of doing my masters and achieving goals but I need space to think out ideas and figure stuffs out. Right now I feel he's choking me with constant hassle and the energy he is emitting just ain't good for my well being. I don't know why he feels I am not doing enough. Everyone mustn't do Yahoo or according to him "be in the streets" to make it. Everyone's path In life is different and I know I will achieve my goals but It will be tough doing so in his place. My environment influences me and I positivity and cheerfulness isn't present I tend to get drained. Especially now that I don't have a job and need to figure my steps with a clear head. I would have left his house but I don't have elsewhere to go unless I head back to my state Anambra. I was hoping on getting a job that comes with accommodation like a hotel so I can clear my head from there but its been difficult getting on around this parts cos some are even retrenching there staff.

Please how do I go about this. Considering this negative energy and toxicity should I still put up with it or head back home. I really value my mental health and calm head



PS. He has a wife and three kids. I feel the wife is crooked and not straight forward. I don't really blame her

Come and stay in my place.

Its the best option.

Nice one. If na true o.

okk4sure:
No but dia r some that maintain balance btw good and bad like DIG Solomon(ex Osun State Commissioner of Police).

Trust no cop.

The state govt should not forget we also have male prostitutes, so they should extend their empowerment to them.

I see a one side affair.

Op abeg rest small.

Great!

How much has this non sense man made from the internet?


He is always talking rubish.

MirthOsas:
Good morning boss
Definitely, no pressure at all. My only prayer is that I remain consistent.
I'd really like to know why you suggested I shouldn't spend much time on CSS.

There are lots of short cuts for that mater.

dem dey online.

MirthOsas:
Dear Diary,

Today I did a recap of what I learned yesterday, and I also learned some new stuff. They include:
1. Creating a link that automatically opens in a new tab.
2. Adding an image to a webpage and also modifying its width and height, coupled with the 'alt' attribute especially when the 'src' attribute is wrong.
3. Linking an image to another webpage.
4. The Break and Horizontal rule.
5. Creating lists - Ordered & Unordered.

Diary, html so far is fun I sincerely hope it stays this way.

I'll see ya tomorrow.

Nice one.

It will take you some time to understand most of what you have learnt.

Give your self some time.

Good luck.

As for CSS, dont spend too much time on it.

Is it your video?

With all due respect, some of you should provide links to what you have programmed.

EvilSec:
Sometimes I think about quitting my job for no reason other than I'm curious if I could make it in another industry. Working in tech doesn't feel like being successful, it feels like the final stage of a stock market bubble where everyone is convinced they're Warren Buffet.
Would like to know if you guys can you survive if you stopped working in tech?

Only you dey work and enjoy the tech money.

Abeg leave me alone.

I am not a pro.

But I guess all languages are great.

Na slave job.

Nice one.

Correct guys.

Dreeds = Success. Ask Slowmoir or wetin b him name.

You can only fix a permanent value if you have the funds to defend your currency. Ask Lebanon, their currency situation is even worse than Nigeria.
And hey, you're wrong. What you produce can determine the value of your currency. Arab nations have relatively small populations and produce millions of barrels of crude oil. On the other hand, Nigeria has about 200 million people depending on forex mostly from no more than 2 million barrels of crude oil & remittances from abroad with loads of importation.
If we can reduce importation by producing what we use, it'll greatly reduce the pressure on forex.

There are smaller nations in Africa in a similar situation like the Arabs, yet their currency is messed up.

You may think your claims are correct, but in reality they are rong.

Every nation as the right to fix the value of her currency at any value. African nations are using it to dia disadvantage.

Nigeria has about 200 million people depending on forex mostly from no more than 2 million barrels of crude oil & remittances from abroad with loads of importation

These claims are wrong. They are not calculating the money made by banks and co, etc. Lots of money from the diaspora and investors and etc. This is just a one sided calculation on crude.

Ask your sef, is Nigeria actually poor as they claim?

Check the amount spent on imports in Nigeria, its too small for our population. Majority of the funds was spent importing petrol.

Nigeria is actually not importing too much as they claim, although its still bad to import at this rate.

Forex is not our problem, the CBN is just withholding the forex.

African leaders/economies are slaves to the law.

FanOfMyself:
Hey guys, I brought this here because I feel that this section is popular.
The thing is that I got a new job as a software developer in Abuja but I have been living and working in Lagos. This new job (in Abuja) has a huge potential than my current job here in Lagos which is why I am taking it.
So here is the main thing, I don't have any one in Abuja, so I need someone who can accommodate me for say three months. Within this three months, I will be able to settle down and know the best area to stay in and also know the city well.
I'm willing to pay for the three months accommodation, feed myself etc. I am a cool and quite person, God-fearing and intelligent dude.
I'm putting this up because there's no harm in trying.
I'm supposed to resume on the 2nd of August 2021.

Dont be a cheap skate.

Go and rent a hotel/air bnb.

Animal Okada man.

A reason why girls should continue forming for guys.

And I forgot to add that foreign curry and Gold reserves are also important ways to bolster and stabilize the value of a currency, even for non- export countries.
Saudi Arabia, which you also mentioned as an import dependent country, has multiple times GDP per capita than Nigeria. They reserve a substantial part of their oil earnings and enormous Gold reserves permanently domiciled in USD. They invest heavily in diversified areas in and outside their country.
So, despite being an import dependent country, they have more than enough foreign earnings, reserves and investments to buffer their currency. Not comparable to Nigeria at all.

Guy investigate all these cliams, you go see say most na hype.

I admit they are doing good, bu they have a fantastic packaging.

There are more countries in North Africa and the Arab world with higher currency values and they import more than Nigeria.

Get my point in reality these rules dont work.

Saudi like Nigeria depends on Oil revenue and hell hasnt been let losed.

The Nigerian economy is going down because we are not defending our currency like the Arab folks.

Even if Nigeria was a perfect country, the world will still impose negative values on us.

The GDP per capita of Nigeria is wrongly calculated.

Saudi Arabia, which you also mentioned as an import dependent country, has multiple times GDP per capita than Nigeria. What is the price of basic commodities in Saudia Arabia?. It may shock you its 5-10 times higher than Nigeria. Sometimes its not by huge pay, but what that huge pay can buy. When these foriegner visit Nigeria they astonished with the price of goods and flexing in NiGERIA, COMPARED TO THEIRS.

They reserve a substantial part of their oil earnings and enormous Gold reserves permanently domiciled in USD. This is how the manipulate the value of their currencies. This is one of their secrets to having a solid currency .

There is so much injustice against African countries.

We allow the rules created by the whites to determine our destines.

The babe set.

Laughing out loud.

I will award you an F.

Pegging of currencies has zero to do with making a currency strong. Rather, it has to do with increasing exports.
Countries that Peg their currencies to stronger currencies usually do it for solely to maintain stability Rather than strength. They do it to prevent their own currencies from increasing in strength against a major export market Countries.
The Countries that usually peg their currencies are usually high productivity Countries with low-cost production. They Pegging their currencies at a set low rate solely for purpose of maintaining their export advantage. Korea is such an example.

Now, you mention that Naira is more than the Korea currencies, as an example of your economic illiteracy.
Ok, since Naira is stronger than Korean currency, in your words, can 1 Naira and 1 Korean Won buy equivalent items, such as , say, a loaf of bread in Korea and in Nigeria ?

The value of a currency is not about the numerical figure. It is also the value of your productive value as well as it's purchasing capacity.

Read my reply properly.
I didnt say Nigeria is productive than Korea, I asked a question.

The point of argument here is simple, class room economics is different from reality economics.

Your class room economical theories can be amended by any nation.

You mentioned lots of class room economics theories not 100% applicable in real life.

[/b]Currency values, just like everything in a market place are determined by the forces of demand and supply. At the micro-level , is a measure of the aggregate productive capacity or productive value of a country as compared to other countries. Currency value invariably reflect the economic productivity at any given time.[b] = CLASS ROOM ECONOMICS. You made refrence to the above.

No change the topic.

I disagree with the bolded.

wirinet:
False. Nigeria imports all the wheat and wheat products used in making bread, pasta, and pastry. These foods alone constitute more than 5% of Nigeria's diet. Even with the ban on rice, we still import over 30% of rice we consume in Nigeria through smuggling. We also import a large quantity of beans from neighbouring west African countries. We import tomato paste mainly from China. We import all the milk we consume. Other food we import in large quantity is frozen fish, chicken, turkey, Apple, fruit juice, etc.

95% is a huge overexaggeration

The worst of all the is fuels. We import 100% of the fuels that drive our cars, trucks and machines. Fuels alone constitute a huge percentage of our export bill and thus the value of the naira.

Na only wheat/bread you deyc chop?

How about beans and plantian?

Eba and egusi soup?

Etc.

Majority of what we eat are home grown.

They spoil Nigeria with their mouth.

Show me a country that is not importing food.

Some of the developed nation sare even worse.

Even China and co dey import food pass Nigeria.

fenibak:
Lol which state?

Since na P Buhari dey borrow the money, we go dash dem Kastina.

Why China dey borrow a country like Nigeria Money?

I blame it on the Chinese if Nigeria is unable to repay the debt.

Na China fault.

Dem one become borrower of the entire world by force.

Las las we dash China one of the states for Nigeria.

Pure Nonsense.

Currency values, just like everything in a market place are determined by the forces of demand and supply. At the micro-level , is a measure of the aggregate productive capacity or productive value of a country as compared to other countries. Currency value invariably reflect the economic productivity at any given time.
In well organized economies, yes, the government can manipulate its Currency by adjusting the factors that affect productivity, such as interest rates, money supply, etc, or by adopting an optimistic or pessimistic economic tones gong forward.

Nigeria is neither an organized nor productive economy. Besides oil, we produce very little of anything of value to trade with. With very low per capita productivity, and a non- diversified economy, the value of our currency is solely dependent on the vagaries of the crude oil market. With a large growing population of consumers, our appetite for imported goods, and increasing lack of confidence for new investments create a permanent imbalance in the demand and supply of foreign currencies. Therefore, our currency, over the long run, would always trend downwards. The market forces are too strong for any government to control.

I for argue with you, but judging by ur write up you are an amature in this field.

Currency value has nothing big to do with you mentioned in raeality.

Point of correction, Nigeria is a productive economy. We grow almost 95% of the food we consume and still manufacture many things. We have lots of manufacturing companies in Nigeria.

Nigerian economy is not as bad as you think/claim, Nigeria is not the head quarter of poverty,etc. All those claims are all rubbish.

Some countries in the Arab world and Europe manufacture less than Nigeria yet their currency value is higher than Nigeria.

As an amuture in the field of finance and economics, I guess you are not aware every country has the right to peg the value of their currency.

Let me school you a little bit.

There is class room economics and there is reality economics.

We are talking about reality economics.

The value of Nigerian Naira is higher than the Korean won, tell me why? Is Nigeria productive than Korea?

Once agian welcome to reality economics.

Monogamy:
As long as we keep on importing unnecessary things which we could have been producing ourselves, then the dollar rate would continue to rise

True, but it applies to only Nigeria.

Honestly, Nairaland is being ridiculed by with his multiple accounts.
It's very easy for a new member to notice this and I wonder why the moderators are yet to notice?

@ flouts lots of rules which includes but not limited to rules: 2, 3, 6, 9 and 19.
@NLPoliceWoman is one of his numerous multiple accounts here.

He makes inciting comments which will naturally attract backlash from members, when it's done, he will report with alternate accounts and the mods will ban immediately without proper investigation.
Is more important than other members in this site?

I humbly beckon on @seun and other admins/moderators to do something about this

get connection.
