This kind of thing can't happen to me, I have a licensed shot gun for protection.... Anytime I step out to get something, am always with my gun....

Shot gun is not that costly and licensing it, is not that much.... I don't depend on police to protect me, if you do anyhow, you see anyhow.....

Currently I have been going for gun practice, so that my hand can master the gun very well....

ufotunang:
Majority of these students do not prepare for exams by reading their books and study for exams..they spend majority of their time in social media, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube watching adults immoral movies and music videos.. parents do not monitor and discipline their children in reading their books and studying and preparing for exams ..so it's not jamb fault

Baba school does not guarantee ones success, in the real sense school is scam, in this country where you labour to go to school and suffer for nothing without job, very soon is just to buy certificate and ascertain that I am a graduate that is what will start trending soon....

Paramount01:
And na School go give you job?

Tell me one person, your belove school have given a job?

Mind you I have finished mine, no be today.... This topic just brought something up in my mind....

School is stress, I tell you.... What is the point suffering for almost a percent of your life going to school just for a certificate that does not lead you to a job, is better you just pay for a university degree certificate and masters certificate put any course of your choice, and you have finally graduated no stress.....

Many Nigerians did it, even your formal and new president....

The reason for this question I brought up is because of the rumours that has been going on about how garri and mangos combination is very dangerous to a humans health, but what changed my narrative about it is that, last week I saw someone devouring garri and mango in my very presence, he is my neighbor actually, I was like "neighbor do you want to kill yourself" and he said that the combination does not have any effect, that he has been taken it for a long time....

Then I said let me see in the next 5-10 mins whether it is going to affect him, men 30mins don pass, this guy is still alive, so I brought this here to see whether this is actually possible to consume mango and garri without health issues....

Firstly being a actor/actress in Nigeria is a dangerous mistake, I don't know why this people don't plan, Nollywood is crap compared to Hollywood.... The average salary for a kid Hollywood actor is bigger than Mercy Johnson's net worth in general.... Working as a actor or actress in Hollywood you can't go broke, but Nollywood just expect the opposite....

Secondly, just know in this life you are all alone, no one came with you to this useless world and no one will go back with you, there is a song that goes like this "when money dey friends go dey, when money no dey friends go go" that is the sad reality of life.....friends and family sucks big time, they are always active when you have money, when there is no money they will abandon you to die alone....

Thirdly, all the tithes and offerings given by this lady to the church every Sunday, cant be reprocicated by her said pastor in her time of need..... If she goes there now, the pastor wont give her anything, now she will know that she has done a very big mistake giving her hard earned money to a crook of a pastor parading with a God that is fictitious.....

First of all does naira currency have value anymore, you ain't even happy people are spraying your useless currency that has no value....

Useless country...

I thought Shallipopi said in his song," anybody wey touch benin boy don touch full nation"- benin boys.

Pluto presido where you dey, dey don touch ur boys oh....

Sirchiboy:
How

How will you assume that someone you have never known in your life or seen face-to-face did ritual....?

Answer that question up there with a mature response....

Treasure17:
It has nothing to do with poor people. Except we another meaning for family. Irrespective of what they might have done, family is family.

You look like an Evil Family Relative (EFR), this kind of advice always comes from evil hearted people like you, most especially evil uncles in the family....

Sonnobax15:

Make Peller get out abeg...

As a man,if you loose guard your family,and if you think you can rely solely on the outside.... Don't worry,it's just a matter of time before you'll realize that outside Is cold and most times your family is the only thing that will come out for your rescue.....

Peller will definitely learn the via the hard way.

What's your point actually, you are just going front and back...?

A family that doesn't value you, is that a family... A family that doesn't support you in any way is that a family, infact a family that wants to kill you knowing fully well you have the same blood running through there own veins, is that one a family.... Nigga be wise, no dey do family with abnormal people... Dey come use that one kpai you, life is one not two....

You don't know what he has gone through in the hands of the said family, you are defending....

Sirchiboy:
I said it.
Under one year this guy blow.
Abeg where I fit run my own

You thought wrong, stop acting like a fool....

2cribz:
He did rituals

Anybody that hustled through thick and thin to the top is now a ritualist, TUFIAKWA for your mentality....

Stop critizing people you don't know....

It is only poor people that will carry this matter on there head like canoe, I can relate to what this guy is saying.... Some families doesn't deserve to be known, my family for example are full time assholes (mother and father excluded) believe me when I say is just a matter of time, I will disown all of them....

Family that wants to kill you, that don't treat you like theirs or show you love when you need it the most, then you make it big, how will I remember such a family....

If you don't like my comment, find the nearest fence and hit your head, i don't care....

Maybe the child will be given the role of future president, that is why the money is 1.3M....

Thieves, school is a scam.... People are just going to it just to get the certificate, there is no reassuring that school can change your life for the better, speaking big Grammer doesn't make you a billionaire, most of the top billionaire around the world are school dropouts, some didn't even go to the said school but they made it.... Not saying school is bad, but school is full time crap....

Whether it is itel A1,000... Nothing changes the fact that itel products are kings of lagging....😂

This problem is to the women alone, you can't see such happen to a man.... But the point is why will a woman who knows this in the first place still embark on such journey, many of this women know what they are doing, they are just drawn by the fast life over there....

If a woman can be a slut in Nigeria, she can be a slut in any country, most of this women traveling outside the country paint it as "I want to work in this country" but we all know they are aiming for full time prostitution.... We all know there manipulative tactics, we know there game very well, so anything happening to them in Dubai, they deserve it.... Dubai men knows how to handle prostitutes like them very well....

.........

I always say this every time, anybody that is a yahoo boy or girl is a pure thief, you are not a real hustler, you are just a leech, leeching from other people's fortune to survive....

The day that money is over, they can't survive any longer because the source of there ill gotten wealth is no longer available.....

Try and hustle legitimately it pays...

Both works for me....

If Facebook is like that, what will you say about Nairaland.... The breeding ground of born liers....

You shouldn't be worried about this illetrate touts in the parks, the ones you should be worried about is the educated touts which are located in government houses and schools and banks and other sectors....

Those ones are more dangerous because they are educated in there craft....

BeforeJuly:
I wholeheartedly believe in the power of indoctrination—when done right, it shapes habits that last a lifetime. Take, for example, the Keep Lagos Clean campaign launched by Governor Fashola in 2008. That initiative left such a deep impression on me that, to this day, I find it nearly impossible to litter. No matter how small the trash in my hand, I hold onto it until I find a bin—whether outside or at home. On rare occasions, I dispose of biodegradable waste like paper or edibles I snack on in gutters, but never plastic or anything non-degradable.

Now to the point of this rant: Why are Nigerians so frustratingly careless when it comes to waste disposal? It baffles me daily. I watch people wind down their car windows to fling entire plastic bottles onto the streets, gutters, and sidewalks without a second thought. Every time I step outside, I witness this behavior over and over again—so normalized that no one even bats an eye. It’s not just uneducated people doing this; even well-dressed, seemingly refined young men and women casually toss trash out of moving danfos, BRT's and private cars.

And then there’s the excuse I hear all the time: “Well, the government hasn’t provided enough public bins.” Fair enough, but how hard is it to hold onto a piece of trash for a few extra minutes until you find a bin? I’ve done this a million times—it’s inconvenient sometimes, sure, but it’s not impossible. It all boils down to discipline and respect for the environment you live in.

But here’s the thing—even those who do throw their trash in bins still somehow manage to do it wrong. Have you ever walked past a public dustbin and seen trash scattered all around it? Some people don’t even bother to push their waste inside; they just dump it near the bin, as if the ground around it is an extension of the bin itself. And when the bin gets full, what happens? They keep stacking garbage on top like it’s a balancing game, until the wind or rain scatters it everywhere again.

How many people actually think, "This bin is full, let me look for another one” or “Let me bring out a garbage bag to contain the overflow”? Almost nobody. Because as long as they can say, “Well, I threw my trash in the right place”, they feel no responsibility for the mess.

And that’s the deeper issue—too many Nigerians live with a bare minimum mentality. We only do the absolute least required to feel good about ourselves, never going an inch beyond that. We blame the government for everything, yet we refuse to make the smallest effort to improve our own surroundings.

Have you ever noticed how quickly Nigerians will transform their own personal space into something clean and presentable? Their houses, their cars, their offices—immaculate. But once they step outside, they suddenly lose all sense of responsibility. “It’s not my business,” “It’s not my property,” “Government should fix it.” Well this is one of the reasons why our streets are filthy, why our public spaces are decaying, and why, despite all the potential in this country, we still live in dysfunction.

The way we dispose of our waste is a direct reflection of who we are as individuals and, collectively, as a society. Compare Nigeria—where littering is second nature—to countries where people make a conscious effort to dispose of waste properly. The difference is stark. Nigeria is already difficult to live in; must we add filth to the misery? Imagine how much more bearable life here would be if our streets weren’t drowning in garbage.

If you’re guilty of careless littering, I urge you to make a conscious effort to change. Start by holding onto your trash until you find a bin. If a bin is full, don’t just dump your waste on top—find another bin or secure the trash properly. If you see overflowing garbage, take the initiative to add a bag or encourage others to dispose of their waste properly. These little things matter.

Once you practice this consistently, it becomes second nature. Small actions like this ripple into something bigger. Let’s do better. Abeg.

In conclusion to what you wrote, know that everybody is not you.... Doing the right thing is good but it we always be a one man's perspective....

Why don't father's have a part of this enjoyment from there children, is so rare to see a son taking his father out making headlines, it is always this liabilities of women that they like to take out, neglecting the back bone that trained them to be what they are now....

You people should be remembering your dad's oh, without them, you mother can't train you the way, they we train you, stop giving credits to the female folks alone, appreciate the male folk too....

All this liability genders know is how to give birth like rat, while the man do the work of suffering his entire life for nothing....

Useless genders....

No be small aging gracefully....

You deserved it wholeheartedly....

..
It's like sometimes, a lot of men don't know what they are going into when they decide to give in to societal expectation that they must marry .
..
In this case
- The guys source of income isn't regular
- Guy is mean and unappreciative according to the lady cos she supports the home more often than not..
- Jealous and reactive
- poor communication and little gisting bond time...
.
I'm like why did u guys now marry each other

At this point I can't understand how you are a counsellor, you just heard one part of the story from the woman and you believed her, knowing women are born liers, have you taken a time to ask the man that married her with his hard earned money, what really happened...?

FreeSpirited:
You will never understand what it means to fall into grave sexual temptation until you start living a sexually pure life or until you decide to work for God.
.
I'm not yet a pastor in full time ministry but I can tell you the truth based on series of temptation I get these days, the work of a pastor is one of the hardest when it comes to standing against sexual temptation.
Yesterday I also perfectly understood why pastors fall for married women or ladies whose marriage or relationship is in crises during counseling.
.
The truth is counselling a heart broken woman is a big trap. A big trap that can only take God and courage to not fall into. You will be shocked that the person you are counseling is so vulnerable and sexually primed that the greatest emotions flowing through her at that time is a urge to be touched, cuddled, caressed and knacked. I saw everything last night, and my defence began to crack, wane, weakened and almost dissolved completely while the lady was begging time for me to touch her.
.
It was yesterday I realized that deciding to live a holy life or deciding to be a pastor means that you have only signed yourself into continuous sexual temptation. No wonder most pastors fail! I thought I had won the demon of temptation until I experienced the dimension of counseling a broken married lady.
.
I won't go into the story. It's a long crazy one. But pastors will understand what I'm saying .... And if you have not counselled a heartbroken woman either married or single... You can never understand. How I escaped without crashing totally is a mystery.

Am not advicing you pastors, I don't believe in your God....
But I want to say this generally to men, self discipline and control is very important in a man's life, if you have it you can't fall to any woman's advances....

If given the chance to cheat against her husband with you, she will gladly do it and tame it as a mistake...?

Women are natural cheats and liers, what you should do is to counsel her like you are counselling your fellow man, emotions and lust shouldn't be brought to the picture....

A little back story.

Due to some ugly circumstances, i dropped out of school in 2019 and I've been at home since then, periodically picking up one or two low paying jobs. 2 years ago, I decided to learning a tech skill. I taught myself C++ programming language and I'm currently teaching myself mathematics aggressively, studying for min of 8 hours daily.

For the past two years, I've mostly always been in my room, I can be in our house for more than two weeks, without stepping a foot out of our door due to how engrossed in studying I always am. My goal is to learn C++, DSA , And Math to an undergraduate level then use my skills to apply for scholarships to study abroad, and probably work in a hedge fund company as a quantitative trader in the future. For those who know what leetcode is, i can currently solve most leetcode (hard) problems in less than 40 minutes.

Now, I'll be 24 in August, and my dad is worried that I'm wasting my life away because I've refused to pickup any real job or learn a trade, his worried that I'm already getting old, always reminding me that people my age are already getting married. Now he wants me to leave his house to go look for my own place to stay, and has offered me 7 million naira to go start life else where.

Now I plan to move out of Lagos to PH or Akwa Ibom, then use part of the money to start up a computer business center, where I'll be doing typing, printing, lamination, jamb registration, GCE/WAEC registrations, etc. One of the reasons I chose this is because I've worked in a place like this before and I have experience in how to run such a place. Another reason is that, this business would give me time to also study and sharpen my Math/Programming skills. I plan to rent a shop that is big enough so that I can also be sleeping/living there.

Now I seriously need advicing because this is such a turning point in my life and the next few years is going to make or break me because there is no room for any disastrous bad decision

Of everything this is what someone's father is concerned about....

Good one on the 7M, he tried...
