you are right but dont forget the Older generation were Contented unlike our generation that want to be rich by all means , our heart of desperation makes thing harder for us

That is history revitionism, you know. "Contentment" then was a myth.The emergence and profliferation of "yahoo" then known as "419" in the early 1979-1983 by mostly state-sponsored Nigerian students abroad and their compatriots at home is something that was well-documented. I suggest you read on that part of history.

I still don't understand how apple does it. They just sell the same exact phone as last year, move the camera around and the whole world starts scrambling for it.

With all the disadvantages like lack of in screen fingerprint scanner, big notch, small battery etc. It's almost as if their fans are 'hypnotised'.
I mean, I can understand if people just like apple phones and decide to wait till there is a drastic change in design, but switching from 11 to 12 and now 13 is just crazy. Almost same design and spec for a ridiculous price.

I really admire the apple marketing team, those guys are geniuses. You don't need to do illegal stuff to scam people.

My sentiments exactly! Anyone who upgrades from the 12 to 13 has no idea what to do with money.

aumeehn:
Ameen. Thanks bro I appreciate ��. Do you live in Limassol?

No, but it's a place i would love to visit someday.

adedayoa2:
gone where? Don't judge based on this meatpie na, we still chop correct meatpie today.

Egbon she is right. I once bought meat pie from chicken republic,guess what i got? 90% potato,i was startled.

luluman:
What have you done to fix it instead of spending your data on nairaland?

Do you mind sharing with us some of your initiatives so far?

aumeehn:
She is a narcissist. The only way she will feel good is after insulting her daughter. So forget about she being in a rough situation or whatever, she is a narcissist, I am also suffering from same situation, and Alhamdulillah I am almost out of sight!

Solidly hoping oluwa make things easy for you.

fineboynl:
Lol you don't have a customer base and you want to rent a room and parlor. And using the parlor as shop. I can see reasons why you mom think you are not sharp and very dull.

You need a shop at a busy place. Make alot of samples of your work and display them to passerby.

Better remain where you are and rent a shop first and not a room and parlor.

And you think you are smart with such a comment?

Mercychen:
You're in your mid 20s? And still staying with your parents? It's obvious why your mom is picking on you unnecessarily. She wants you to leave and I think you should too.

I left exactly around that age, even without any pressure from my parents. So, I wonder what you're still doing there with all the insults.

As for your fiance, what part is he playing in establishing your tailoring biz? Or he too is "slow"?

so much judgement in one comment. You have no idea what she passed/passing through that prevented her from taking the bold step yet you sat comfortably from your sofa spewing nonsense.

erubati:
Nairaland is trash.a total waste bin for demented people to keep wailing till they ki gdom come.
The reason why this guy posted this thread was to gather people together who will eagerly start raining curses on the government for their worst state.u derata dably,the economy is bad.this is the worst government I have ever experienced.some people are still surviving and raising their families through side hustles.even when u travel to other countries,u won't have the luxury of running one job to take care of ur bills.
The guy who posted this trash was expecting the FTC guy to start raining curses on buhari,but the guy told him the plain truth of what people are doing to survive.if u guys don't want to side hustle to survive,then don't blame the government for making ur life miserable

Egbon calm down! Who are the "you guys" you are refering to? The ops thread might be motivated by simple observation which has nothing to do with his socioeconomic status.

Ssoil:
this country is not moving forward things are getting worse by the day, my prayers goes to all those who are finding it hard to survive in this economy. It’s such a pity and 2023 is still far away

And you think the next presido will magically turn things around with a magic wand? Brace yourselves for change 2.0!

princeogbeide1:
N30,000 IS ONLY $55.
$55 FOR ONE MONTH IS A CURSE.
WHO CURSED NIGERIA?

Decades of terrible leadership, it has nothing to do with the spiritual realm.

feckos:
So are you still in Nigeria now?

Honestly some of us believed so much in Naija...my wife won't even forgive me for all the ignored opportunities abroad...here I am today desperately looking for an escape route by all means at least for my kids.

Naija is looking hopeless by the day.

You should be forgiven for your miscalculations and missteps,however, you should be noted as an individual with little foresight ,morever, you are not alone - alot of people who actually have the means to leave never did mainly due to wishful thinking that "the country will get better in the foreseeable future". Am glad such people are now learning the hard way. Additionally, i sincerely hope young people take note and make hay while the sun shines.

megastu:
You cant have the best of both worlds. Be decisive. Choose one!

Bro, so you later move abroad? I read somewhere in 2009 you were contemplating moving or staying back. Glad you made the right decision.

tobtap:
Cool... States need d money pass firs.. So a welcome development

It should be state governors and their cronies need the money pass FIRS. Some Nigerians are yet to wake up from their slumber.

PRESIDENT2003:
What they don't want you to know is India has the highest number of youth in the world, India also has the highest number of scammers in the world... Followed by China then Russia. But trust the black man, he is quick to sell his brothers out for a mirror and few shillings.

Any source(s) to support your claims?

EndBuhariNow:
are you available?

Baba add Me too.

That crumb is not even enough to adequately maintain an adult for a month let alone with a wife and kid. Why una too like suffering and hardship? Most Africans are the reason generational-poverty has become entrenched and widespread in Sub-sahara Africa. Just imagine!

Highwave:
I think its hard with using only your WAEC result to study a Bachelors degree in Germany because the last time i checked you need to have atleast a 100Level result from a university/polytechnic or something. You can even try to study at the NOUN fora year and use that to apply to schools.

wellcome back Bro, how is Germany? treating you?

michaelwilli:
You call that crap education?

Don't bother bro! You will be startled to find out such people take their kids to expensive private schools,yet come online to praise public schools. Ain't this hypocrisy?

dfrost:
This option has always been there but trust most Nigerians with “herd mentality”.

Quality is the difference, nothing to do with herd mentality.

dfrost:

Don't be fooled into thinking public schools offer the same quality of education as their private counterparts.... The difference is clear as day. Are you even a Nigerian?

NOGRUDGES:
Government primary and secondary school are still free last time I checked. Go to you level, even one governor put him child for public schu.

Are you that child had been pulled out of that school? Can't you see it's all publicity stunt afterall.... Do your kids attend public schools?

parkervero:
How ? Stop giving us some fake figures

Can you please cite your real figures?

BennyDGreat:
What's the averagely safe number of time one can take bitter kola in a week if you consume sugar quite regularly

My brother desist from consuming sugar regularly, it ain't good for your health. Regarding kola nut take it in moderation and you will be fine.

Ikwerelastborn:
Oga you're senseless, apsertate is worse than sugar,now kee ya sef

Youare a very senseless being! Omale!

30naira:
Your research might be a bit distorted by the negative conspiracy theories arou d artificial sweeteners.

aspartic acid and phenylalanine are the 2 main ingredients of Aspartame. Theses are ingredients you would find in many fruits and foods you consume daily.

You would need to drink 15 bottles of diet Coke in a day before it can become harmful

Exactly! The fact still remains there is no evidence to suggest aspertame is worse than sugar, in fact, reverse is the case.

Ikwerelastborn:
You're ignorant, aspartate which they use is sweet and even worse than sugar

That's debatable if not baseless. There are no conclusive evidence to back such claims. Infact multiple studies/ health authorities have pointed to artificial sweetners being a better option than sugar, it may even have some benefits. Nonetheless, people are urged only to take it in moderation. That said, Stop scorning people you barely know for no good reason, it makes you look so stupid and immature.

ipobarethieves:
I appreciateThank u very much.God bless u

Disregard that kola intake! If taken in excess, it will do considerable harm to your body.

Take it, but........ Ensure you scrutinize this so-called agency. Google, their social media handles, check them on Google maps/earth are your best bet. Also, ask the man clearify things for you. Goodluck!

Angelawhite:
Even though you try to depict yourself as a non lazy person, you still managed to come off as lazy.

Someone who you claimed is like a father to you and who saw you through school is also offering you an opportunity to leave this hole of a country and you’re here deliberating the offer.

There is no harm properly scrutinising the deal.

What does karma has do with moving abroad?

InTheCloudySky:
Call it what it is: rape.

A 15-year old minor and virgin, and a 50-year old man = RAPE.

Report the man to the Police, have him arrested and charged.

As for the pregnancy, how far gone is she? If it's still in its early stages, she doesn't have to keep it. She's only 15 and has her life ahead of her. Definitely ask her what she wants to do, though, because her decision is what matters.

She is 16 not 15!
