My wife and I are expecting our first child, so currently I'm saving up money before the baby comes, we are also trying to get baby things of almost 400k.

But she wants me to buy Christmas rice for her mom. I've already decided that I'm not buying anything for anyone this December, including my own mom. But she wants me to buy for her mom which I refused becauze my baby is more important.
Mind you, she has elder ones who can't even get anything for their mom this December (she's the youngest). I just lied to her that I'm broke and I don't have any money. But I have close to 1.7 million which I want I to save for the baby and also get a car for when the baby comes.

I'm I making the right decision by ignoring everyone this December or should I take like 100k and just buy a bag of rice and share to the mom.

Personally I don't want to spend a dime on anyone because my child is the most important thing right now

Your child is your blud fam. She isn't.

Nairaland has been part of my daily ritual for a long time now and I value the site so well.
I love the ideas and people's comments I read some times. And other times, I maintain indifference.

So 4 days ago in the morning around 5am, I unlocked my phone and open my phone browser to see what's the latest posts and ideas. I was greated with a strange English from cloudfare.

After refreshing for 1.6 million times, it became apparent that something was wrong. Immediately, I started fasting and praying for nairaland even though I did not know why the site was down but I know it's the work of principalities and power

During my fasting and prayers, the spirit revealed to me a particular letter. It was letter 'X' just like the spirit revealed to Emperor Constantine.
I picked my phone and went on X twitter. Which was formally Twitter.

When I got there, I searched for nairaland and saw series of negative posts from principalities and power. I shouted the name of savior and started to pray loud against these negative forces.
Sote all my neighbors thought I was mad but I did not care a bit, I continued to pray fervently against all the negative forces that were hand twisting and begging for nairaland to sold sold to them.

Some principalities were even saying the website ask should be shut down totally. A site that has millions of Nigerian nationals and nationals from all around the the World.

I kept praying and refreshing and my prayers were answered. This is a Turning Point for Nairaland and Me and You

This happened to me when I was doing a job test after scaling two stages already.. cost me an international job opportunity. I almost went crazy.. sent several messages to their IT support and the hiring company. Coy insisted the process was overseen by an independent 3rd party and they had no input. IT told me nonsense of their system being in order. But I know what I saw. Had over 90 seconds on that clock.. took my sweet time rounding up so I wouldn't need to double check after. Big mistake.

Took me almost 2 years to move on from the incident.

I was a victim of this, damn so painful e go be like say make you break somebody head, the most painful part is their lack of responsibility, remorse and inability to take responsibility for their mess.

Same here.. see my story above

One of the worst things that happened to man to make him feel like commiting suicide is if he lost his job.

I just lost my job ( Porter in a hotel ) on Wednesday I've been using to manage life since then I've been feeling depresse, like given up life, I can't even eat & even praying for God to take my life bc I suffered before I got that job I lost.

What is paininng me most is
1.) that I didn't do anything bad they just sacked me just bc a guest reported me to Director that I saw her holded food in a tray to go & mirowave & I didn't collect the food from her or open door for her
Whereby normally she suppose to have call room service & I was attainning to other guest.

2.) I'm been sacked @ a very wrong time I'm planning to go & see my mum this Xmas but now I don't know what to do bc I don't wanto go there sorrowful so she won't feel sorrowful too.

3.) I'm not even sure they will pay me atleast half month salary.

I understand what you feel bro.. being jobless in an already tough economy.. but keep on keeping on my friend.

Hello, please could anyone with experience tell me how to full my duties to the government in terms of tax. I've never done it before.

And would I calculate it in dollars or naira; if dollars, will it be in official rate or parallel market rate.

If you know what's right, please let me know.

Thanks.

Pay in Naira at the prevailing CBN forex rate.

As to the nature of tax payable I can only deduce personal income tax (PIT) for now. Unless further disclosures are made.

The channel of payment will depend on the status of your residency.

I will be so brief in explaining the skocker I received last week.. I have been suspecting my wife for a while now because of her attachment to her phone but I kept my cool trying to track what she has been up to,,
men my discovery was shocking, I got to know her password through my 5 years old son that is always with her phone. I checked her phone thoroughly but did not find anything only for me to check her thrash pictures on Google photos fellow nairalanders I saw a male colleague that always communicate her putting on my wife's gown in a hotel looking arrangements I confronted her on and she was confused on what to explain ... I post this here for people that completely trust their spouse to do the trusting with sense.. officially I am ending the year wifeless as I have demanded a refund of the dowry paid on her no going back I consider my decision a gain and not a loss congratulations to me for finding out what she has become on time

My brother na only yourself you know o.. I nor fit trust woman for this life again.

Surprisingly, my calculator also displayed the same erroneous answer. According to the calculator, 60 ÷ 5(3) is the same as 60 ÷ 5 × 3.

That's like a bug in the computer's algorithm. I'm even surprised that a calculator would throw that up.

Check the poster above for his calculator result . See?

Is this a case for human intelligence trumping ai? Or was it human intelligence failure in programming that caused the bug?.. Fascinating how far down the rabbit hole such a simple equation has dragged so many people.

Wizyoung:
People's failure in solving this problem sterns from the fact that they do not fully understand order of operation (BODMAS). More significantly, they can't tell the difference between:

60 ÷ 5(3) { ...meaning divide 60 by the product of 5 and 3}

And...

60 ÷ 5 × 3 { ...meaning divide 60 by 5 then multiply your result by 3}

The former still has bracket that must be simplified before the "division" operation according to BODMAS while the latter must be started with division first according to the same BODMAS.

This higighted the root of the problem tbf.

The valid answer to the posted problem is 4.

Go to court if you don't still agree

Not only that. The expression is wrong itself.

See the different answers supplied by calculator on the same equation but different expressions. Or the calculator doesn't know the order of operation?

It's bad enough that I have to board a gigantic scrap of rusted metal for my daily commute.

This cannot be said enough..

I'm worried that we all can't agree between 36 or 4 which is the correct answer. Is there something missing? Is there any rule in BODMAS being wrongly applied? My calculation is sha 36.

60÷5(7-4) =

60÷5(3) =

12(3) =

36.

Update: This video sheds light on the equation which I found to be useful as well.

The other angle to this is the expression has been incorrectly set up and division ÷ sign is cause of the ambiguity. A parenthesis would better reflect the equation as follows:

60/(5(7-4)) =

60/5×7-4 =

60/15 = 4
