Damnnn niggar

Live and lets live moda fuckkers
Flog any of my female relatives and watch me knock your head off your neck

These are some of the things that come alongside civilization
Accept it or fuckkk off

That is how I was walking with my two baby sisters in New Benin markets and one idiot was about to cause awareness and call them names because they were on a skimpy, diaphanous and translucent outfit
I walked up to the moda fuckker and looked him straight in the eye and say I' mma punch someone in the face..balling'up my fist right 🤛 about now...no one fuckkk with my baby sisters and go scot free

I'm just wondering what you could probably do should mob descend on you and your so called nakedly dressed sisters. Against one or two aggressors, you might have chance. But against the mob, you and your sisters would be trashed and no one would do nothing about it.

What are u saying? He should have left his country to rot? Because Nigerians no nothing about patriotism. This war is not about zelenski or what u call him but about the sovereignty of Ukraine. I will defend my village with my last blood if u attack her. What nonsense.

A smart leader with wisdom would have known beter than to allow the invasion to take place. We all knew that Zelensky provoked Russia with assurance that NATO would welcome him as soon as possible. Look at how it turned out for him! If he had known that this is how it was going to turn out, he wouldn't have pushed Russia to wall.
His aim was to join NATO, now that hope is gone! We knew it all along but he didn't want to believe that. Now, he knows. What next for him?
Even USA miscalculated about Russia running out of weapons soon just because of the sanctions here and there.

Even after you read what Biden said? Zelensky should have known better than to poke tiger in the eye. He shouldn't have provoked Russia, no any superpower nation would allow its neighbours to open doors for its enemies

God1000:
I agree with Biden, the timing is wrong.

At least this war should be over before any of such discussion, but what can Putin do if Ukraine joins NATO now? Nothing

I salute the unwavering support of the Biden administration for Ukraine, the invaders should pull out and go back home.

Putin should be more concerned about the cracks in his government, he won't survive another mutiny.

The invasion of Ukraine has further enlarged NATO with Finland membership and Sweden very soon, so what's the point of this senseless war? it has turned counterproductive.

See misyarn! This is about Ukraine, Biden and NATO members not about Putin

nairalanda1:
Good point, but if we kept it, the subsidy costs would rise with cost of production of fuel, (let's even forget about smuggling and corruption)...and eventually it would have reached a point where it ate all our revenue, plus money borrowed.

Then how would we fund our budget?

When we reach that point, poor suffering now would seem like kindergarten stuff.

My point is that the govt choose the easiest path that doesn't affect them and their family because they're still getting the stuff free of charge or with free money.

Cost of production shouldn't matter for what we get from the nature free of charge. And it wasn't like it was being given to Nigerians freely, it was subsidised.
My point is that smuggling and other associated corruption should have been tackled. Are we really that helpless in this country that our only and favourable solution is to run away from our problems. Like govt running away from her responsibilities to the citizens.

Remove this subsidy (petrol), remove that subsidy (kerosine, diesel). Sell that off, sell this off - like in the case of power sector, nitel, Nigeria Airways, etc. Our kids don't even know what treated pipe borne water looks like.
Have you taken time to think about what these wicked leaders are getting from the common purse while serving and after leaving the offices?

These people don't even steal in millions of naira anymore but in billions of naira. Where was that same money coming from even when they were subsidising fuels for the masses? Was it not from the sales of the same crude oil? Removal of subsidies only means more money for them to loot.

Nigerian law is not the problem, the enforcers of law are.

MrColdsweat:
The yarribas voted buhari against the sensible nigerians. Now they voted this drug sniffing vagabond.

What other proof do you need to understand that the yarribas are the major problem of Nigeria?

Lol. Like Atiku and Obi didn't promise Nigerians the same thing.

SmartPolician:
PMS is soo important that any attempt to alter its price affects every segment of the economy.

But many Nigerians don't understand this or don't care. They took it in completely the propaganda of mighty and unseen cabals that wanted to destroy Nigeria economy with subsidy. Like the only solution to subsidy fraud was to remove it and push millions of people deeper into poverty.
It doesn't affect me much because my income still remains the same and can still go up if I make additional investments but what about others? What about the future of our kids with this hopelessness that is being created by our leaders?

princekwi:
You are the one wailing as a result of disappointment that your idiocy to malign the girl is resisted by igbos, idiots, go and straighten up the moral decay among your people before seeking for who to malign, bastard wailer; snakes, I will never allow you people to talk down on any igbo because you are all snakes and hypocrites

I don't talk down on Igbos as long as I understood that there were non igbos who equally took side with the girl just because they didn't trust the institutions and there were igbos who didn't support that girl.
But your foolishness stands out of many simply because you are still adamant about what the girl did that you would not condemn her. It is your type that their kids usually ends up facing firing squad after conviction for being armed robbers.

lokoventurex1:
God bless you sir. I don't mean to diss anyone. 450k salary is not really a biggie. When I lost my job in access bank in 2017, I was earning 90k salary and saw people earning 300k salary and above as big men(maybe they were in 2017).

Fast forward to 2020 immediately after Covid19, I had my breakthrough and started making more than 300k profit from my POS business every month. I've not made less than 260k since then, and am still not okay at all. I'm always afraid just like the OP.

There were months I made more than 400k sef( plenty times) and still have not done many things maybe except my moderate marriage that took 1.7M last year.

I understand the OP very well. If you're not making the money, it looks a big deal, when you start making it, you'll realise you need more stream of income.

I'm also looking out for skill to horn while am doing my POS business sideways and wouldn't mind if anyone can share.

OP, I understand your plight very well. The rate at which Naira has deteriorated is not helping matters too.

In other words, you meant to say that some expenses are eating away your income? If that's the case, you need to sit down redraw your financial plan. As much worse as Nigerian economy and naira is, you shouldn't be saving nothing less than 100k per month. You just have to sacrifice today for better living condition tomorrow. You just have to look to when you were earning far less and others who are still earning far less today.
Anyone doing private business in Nigeria today or earning fat salary should make saving and investments top priority. And that comes with great sacrifice.

alizma:
I am very much ashamed on behalf of Nigerian youths, they are so conscious of money that they don't care to pay attention to what anyone has to say once money is mentioned. Many of you leave behind, the key things op said and just focus your attention on 450k.
For Christ sake, op didn't say he is not ok with his pay neither did he say the amount is small but he clearly stated that the job that pays him that much will not last forever, secondly he said he has no skills outside what he is doing now, rather than guide him, you are all focused on the figure. Shame on you guys

You so much focused on what others are saying and not saying to the extent that you forgot to address what Op posted. See your hypocrisy right there!
Are you now telling me that no one addressed the Op concern up till the moment you dropped your own useless comment?

princekwi:
I am still on her side and will continue even to hell, she did not wrong to me because the Nigerian institutions are fraudulent, non can be trusted, a zoo that disregard its constitution to declare someone president just because of hatred of one tribe, I don't know how long it will take these idiot igbo leaders to push for our independent to leave this godforsaken zoo for them filled with hypocrites and psychopaths, Kemi is there, non criticized her, INEC is there with their fraudulent presidential election, all are hailing them because it favors them; bastards, Leave Mmesoma alone you hypocrites, Innoson is an idiot for withdrawing that scholarship, trying to please these demons in human skin without any atom of truth. She will get scholarship from me; Bastards,

Perpetual wailer

Puss360:
Marry in haste , repent at leisure..... That's the mentality of majority of Nigerians...
No patience no calm... Always quick to draw conclusions when nothing has been investigated and in such conclusion, they will play victim card....
We just hate anything "Investigation"...
Now that Jamb has exonerated theirself, and proven beyond all reasonable doubts to the whole world that the girl is guilty, those who were quick to draw conclusions will never say anything at this juncture....

Say no to crime... It will make our country good

What baffled me most was how people would just be defending someone they didn't know before just because they're of the same tribe, religion or political party.

DeLaRue:
Very amateurish.

You rushed to make public pronouncements before knowing the full facts.

After JAMB confirmed its own investigation revealed her results was fake, you a corporate organisation with aspiration to be taken seriously then issued an incendiary statement that you would wait until there is investigation by an 'independent' 3rd party

So, you did not respect the investigation of a national institution like Jamb and thereby join private individuals on social media to cast doubt on Jamb's integrity. Smh

Serious businesses like MTN, Dangote Industries, Zenith bank etc will never behave like this. Once Jamb confirmed her results were fake, they would back off immediately.

Innoson was completely off on this one, most especially their press release after JAMB has disowned the result

festacman:
Miss Joy Mmesoma Ejikeme was victim of the fear of not meeting people's expectations. Obviously, she was troubled about how to face and explain to her school teachers, fellow students and admirers that she scored lowly 249 in JAMB contrary to expectations of her as a high-flier.

That is why it is important that parents teach their children how to face humiliations and failures in life and help them overcome these sure-to-come life challenges rather put more pressure on them. That is also why the current 'pampering' educational reward system in private school where every child goes with one award or another at the end of the session in order to help their egos is bad.

How did you know that they placed unreasonable expectations on her? She told you that?
Is she the only brilliant student in her class or the only brilliant student to score 249 and below in UTME? You're still defending fraud.

BornofGod108:
Have they thought of what if it malfunctions as system malware and lack of maintenance could cause AI to malfunction. It can also be reprogrammed to launch an offensive or attempt theft in the church by obnoxious and mischievous hackers.
If the Ministers are tired of doing their ministerial work, let them resign and give a chance to others .

Is that not what just happened here? You don't get it at all.

Was that necessary? I don't agree to such treatment and interfering. They should have let her husband decided what he wants to do with their relationship.

cremedelacreme:
Those saying 450K is more than enough to buy a land and start building do not really understand how expensive things are in Nigeria today. I earn slightly above what the OP mentioned, but believe you me, it's not been easy. If you live in Lagos, Abuja or PH and you are married with kids, you will understand. A 2 bedroom flat in an average neighborhood is over 700K. Cost of fuel and car maintenance is over 60/70K monthly in recent times. School fees for 2/3 children is over 200K per term (600/800K annually). Feeding takes over 100K monthly. Utilities and other miscellaneous dey ooo.

Mister, I don't know why people keep giving you likes for this reckless and planless spending. That same place where you work/reside, there are people with the same number of family as yours who might be living on salaries less than 100k. You don't have to live like them though but CUT DOWN YOUR FVCKING EXPENSES. You can't grow financially if you continue like that.

Best thing na just to save enough and japa.

What a mentality. Japa is what will make you plan your finances well? Lol. May be you think the only solution to your problem is to earn more. If that's your solution, then you haven't identified your problem.
And let me help you identify your problem: Financial Illiteracy

blazepascal:
Stop comparing yourself to the ladies.

We don't have the same privileges. They have all the chances to live and experience a better life.

They might never go hungry. They might drive the latest version of car, they might live in the best apartment in the city, use the latest technology, fly first class.

But you as a man will have to suffer to become someone or experience these things. Working should be your moto.

Suffer today so you can have a better life tomorrow, don't compare yourself with your sisters, don't hate the females in your city for living a life more than you.

We are different, a man must suffer to become someone of importance. That's why you must understand what is taking your time and little money and cut off with them.

You identify your wastrel in your life. In this journey of life, a man's worst enemy is idle time.

Let this message scare you, wake up and stop comparing yourself with the females. A broke man is nothing even to his family. A broke girls is something to her family members.

Don't be delusional, we are different and our chances are not the same to smile or be respected. A broke guy is not respected, he has no value to his community, they laugh at you when you walk by, the beautiful ladies call you loser. Get up.

Get up! Be scared of your future.



#BLAZE

Good write up but I disagree with the bolded part. If you are an investor, you will have plenty of idle time and you won't be bothered about it

koolhayde:
I think being poor is part of this one's DNA.

Instead of you being happy that there are still some honest people left in your country and representing you well. Be proud of her, celebrate her even if you find it difficult to understand why she did that.

ratiani6:
Which kind mugu be this? How God take dey bless person pass like this?

People like you would never learn!

Wow! Kudos

BloomingDale:
Kano almost last with all her population. We need to separate from the core North. They should go and join their kith and kin in Niger Republic.

Do you realise that those revenues go into the private pockets, not the govt accounts because it is now being run privately?
So, why do you think you should have problem with their DISCOs if they are not really interested in making life difficult for the residents? Come to SW and see what the discos staff are doing to their customers! N1000 now is getting me 9kwh

CodeTemplar:
What's responsible for low value in the north?

Their DISCOs are not interested in milking the residents to death. That's the reason

Salewa97:
Below are the states each of the Disco serve.

SW states accounted for over 50% of Disco revenue.

Any investor trying to invest in state electricity should just bring it to the West. He can be sure that his company will make the profit easily.

Mumu, SW DISCOs are just wicked and merciless, riping us off. I'm getting 9units for N1000 now. Only God how many units it will be reduced to once they're cleared to increase tariff again

basilo101:
That is the man who defeated Dangote in tomatoes business and exposed him as government backed Monopoly that can't survive a competitive business that government cannot influence

Story. You sounded like Dangote couldn't succeed in any business without govt backing. Is he dull or something?

ItooWorWor:
Where is Innoson? He should come tell us how to let criminals breathe.

Innoson as a popular brand name in Nigeria made a silly mistake. They did not only give her scholarship but also came out to defend the defraud

PerfectStranger:
No difference bro. I should feel safer at home than away.

There is, you don't know what it means being targeted because you are different. In Nigeria, we all fall under the general insecurity.

SyndyB:
At least they recognise who killed her and he will receive commiserate punishment for his crime. But in Nigeria it would be a media trial.

Like you what media trial, lol.

PerfectStranger:
Baba even back home here no safe too. Better to cry in Lamborghini than 504 Peugeot.

You're not targeted here in Nigeria because you are different or you're minority, that makes a lot of difference

Defacto4truth:
Was he supposed to be paid pension in the first place. Serving a state for just 8 years entitled him for pension while those that put in over 30 years sometimes die without being paid others are languishing in pains. While their educated children are the ones hailing these oppressors.

It was put in place to discourage them from engaging in corrupt practices while offices. This was supposed to make feel financially secured about their future after the office. Apparently, it didn't work as 99% of them are mega thieves

VenExchangee:
Kudos to those who believed this story

It is not a story, it is a live incidence
