Some people are just funny.

If you think what he did is as easy as rubbing two coins together, why don't you go ahead and do it?

Or simply take the advice and bolt away. Name one of the role models you have in your life right now. Do you think you'll still be standing if they tell you the bad things they may have done to get where they are?

I never saw anywhere where he even advise anyone to do his kind of business. How many of you that make money are bold to tell strangers that come to your shop the kind of dealings you do, talkless of the whole Nairaland?

I'm just lost for words right now.

I wanna share with you what I used to tell my comrades who wanted so bad to be rich but didn't know how.

The rich and powerful are celebrated in our society, They tell you it takes hard work and dedication, yes it does indeed. But what they don't tell you is how many backs they stabbed, how many feeding fingers they have bitten, and how many graves were dug on their behalf to get where they are today.

But do we really need that kind of life? The truth of the matter is, we don't. We don't all have to be rich to live fulfilled lives, I'll take my chances on grabbing wet scones for dinner and sleeping sound at night than live on Caviar and berries knowing how many others lives were ruined to make me rich.

We all die sooner than we imagined. We cant build our happiness on the unhappiness of others. And if Life is too short, nothing is really worth ruining another man's shot at a little happiness in the little time he has left, just to build ours.

He is not Poor... he looks that way because of his health, which he was born with and how is that his fault? Oh you were expecting to see a robust body. The dude got a heart of a lion, very brave and he got drive too.

[s] OMG! this is the dumbest reply I have ever received on this site, it isn't even remotely connected to what I was referring to[/s].


On a second thought, you weren't exactly rude so I'll scratch that and make an attempt to enlighten you nicely.

It's not a question of his health or weight nor how it relates to a measure of how much he owns, neither is it even about whoever it is that is displayed in his profile picture, whether that is him or not. It's the message the profile picture displayed bears. Got it?

what surprises most is how one human with blood flowing through his veins would wish someone doing legitimate business, mmm, bad news of him not to be paid. and when You dig deep into knowing the identities of this evil bad belle people, u will see that they are the children of those who stole the country dry. they are into the class of those whose parents could not send to school. and when you go further to examine their life, they are the poor in cash and soul whose nature is evil, dirty in character, wicked in heart, they know nothing else but write evil and bad news about anything undermining the positive news of that thing. They always want to write negative news. you never can find any positive news in their blog (mind). once they see or hear anything about MMM, is time to wake up and write anything negative. May their Lord God deliver them from painting MMM negative. Long live mmm, long live Fed Rep. of Naija. Long live my saviour Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

What surprises me most is how one human with blood flowing in his arteries would join MMM knowing fully well the person who Provides Help to them might never get paid at the end of the day and lose out. Everyone doing MMM is a classic example of the cliché "Better them than me"(meaning: I'lld rather it happens to anyone else but me)

PR to get in his good books? LOL you must be joking. I've never sent the man a pm before neither am I hustling his contact. If we are going to meet later in life, I don't know but I admire the man.

In your rush to try to make sense, you didn't answer the question I posed to you in my last post. Go through my last post u quoted, then do the needful.

Also if I may shock you, some atheists I've come across actually have better moral standings than most of you Christians. How many atheists have you heard do rituals? Yet some so called pastors swim in people's blood. I'm not holding any briefs for Ymodulus neither am I holding any briefs for any atheists. I'm just telling you what I feel.

Again you spoke about receiving help from witchdoctor. Bros help comes in different ways and forms. The story of the good Samaritan comes to mind. Among all that passed the wounded man, the Samaritan was the least godly, but it was he that helped. Read your Bible very well and don't be sentimental. Do you also want to tell me you've never gained anything from nairaland? Well, news flash bro; seun is an atheist. So you may as well exit this platform. Don't be a judge for God!

Also as a bonus, if you mention me again, I won't even glorify you with a reply because u think I've done my best to enlighten you[/s].

I don't expect you to understand simple logic but then again that's the beauty of life, Opinion! You are entitled to yours about my religion and I am entitled to mine about others. Stating that atheists have better moral standings than Christians is outright bias on your path. I never compared religions to state which was better. I only stated the differences which are unique to each. People like you make this world a bad place misrepresenting information. If you actually paid attention in school you wouldn't be out here constituting nuisance on my post. It wasn't even addressed to ymodulus, I was informing the person who tried to correct him based on what I identified as Christian morality, as I was of the opinion it might not apply to op.

Now as a final note on this issue and this goes for anyone dumb enough to misquote me. I am not judging anyone let alone an atheist. I rather stated that based on one's religious disposition they would have different definitions of morality, I don't expect an atheist to abide by Christian tradition neither do I expect a Christian to do same on atheism. If you do so, you do it of your own accord and should not be seen as representative of the religion one claims to profess.

ikp120:
That last paragraph summarized everything I posted. If anyone tells me that he or she wants to buy a car for the husband or wife, (who he or she is even living together with), as a gift, I will ask him to buy that car that he thinks she likes and add it to the fleet in the home, then look for something that she would be able to possess fully (like the latest customized iPhone, the latest customized Samsung phone, the trending expensive jewelry or any other stuff like that that she really craves for) and buy for her.

I have always wanted to be buying cars for my wife when I marry. But on a second look at the whole thing, the car is still just a family car at the end of the day, except we would divorce very soon. I prefer something that she could fully possess as hers without any possibility of having to "co-own" it with me.

When I hear someone say, "My hubby just bought me a car", I shake my head and in my mind I am like, "Abeg tell me another story because so long as I am concerned, he just added another car to the family fleet in your name. It is not really your car the way you are thinking it is".

God knows that I can't buy my wife a car because at the end of the day, it is still open for family use. I would rather look for something she can personally own and buy a very expensive version of it for her.

Exactly, smart dudes would always have the upper hand. Imagine if the man had bought the car and told his wife its for our family use? She wouldn't have that smile on her face while she cooked him his favourite. Neither would she have even made a post on fb or brag to her friends about what a magnificent husband she married.

Some men often have to resort to trickery to get some attention or make their wives happy, don't blame the men, blame the sort of woman who needs lies to breathe. Some even buy her the car and then scare her about accidents to prevent her from taking interest in learning. This dude is a legend in the game, he simply told her its hers even though he knows its just simply what it is, a family car and he probably would get to drive it more.

I wouldn't do this though. I prefer to be genuine towards my family.

Krak:
So tell me are many of those super-corrupt and evil people we see doing evil things not Christians? [s]Dont ever judge a person based on his religious belief[/s].

Not everyone who claims to be atheist is truly atheist, and not everyone who claims to be Christian practices Christianity. If a man who claims to belong to a religion does something against his belief, he is quoted as going against the moral standards of his religion, however it doesn't change the true definition of what Buddism, Christianity or Atheism really is or stands for. Except in this case, Atheism isn't even a religion, its just the absence of a belief in Theism, therefore they do not have rules set in stone like conventional religions do, so there isn't anything they can even go against for anyone to point and say they aren't truly Atheist anymore except they actually start having theist beliefs.

UBA bank is good.

UBA

Some employees of the university have issued receipts without remitting the funds to the school and therefore gotten extremely rich sabotaging their place of work. Nigerians need to change.

I didn't say I saw some good qualities in him,nah....I said I SAW SOME QUALITIES IN HIM THAT I LIKE.
Wat i like may be different from the mainstream "God fearing" man that ladies chant....i like a man that spends alot

Ok but I was thinking a spend thrift is usually a wasteful spender who does so well beyond his means of livelihood, and not necessarily just one who spends a lot. Doesn't this bother you? After marriage he might sell your house in order to afford a new designer pair of shoes. Spend thrifts are generally not seen as a desirable, irrespective of belief. Unless of course you plan to divorce him after milking him dry.

TashaGirl:
your opinion does not matter

he may not have presented it in the flashiest of languages, but not everyone takes the scenic route. He was telling the truth most people don't really see, now while being objective I must say one cant say all men would do what he is implying but a great number of them would. read my response to his post maybe you would appreciate his effort.

ikp120:
Na wa o. But some guys are really foolish.

You married a lady hence she began to share everything you own with you. Then you still mumu go buy car carry give her... Bros why not add the car to the fleet of cars in the house if you must buy a car? It is just like buying a piece of land for your wife . Olodo look for something that she could exclusively personalize and buy for her.
The paper says it is hers, but she knows very well that it is not "my own", but "our own", except she wan crash the marriage ni.

Na this kinda small small foolishness dey scatter marriages o... The guy one day (after offending the wife) go just need to use the car when the wife is not making use of it, probably because other cars in the house ain't in good shape, the wife go just flare up, "That car is my own ***shaking waist like aturu Oghara*** "... My guy go be like, "But we are married and should share everything"... Olodo shut up! No be gift you buy for her ni?

A gift is a personal belonging, even in marriage; so the lady has every right on earth to deny you the privilege to use the car... Na so the tension go take start o. He should have looked for something more personal with little or no likelihood of being shared by the both of them, like expensive jewelry, watch, etc, and buy for her.

Marriage no dey like dating where everybody dey their own; in marriage, una dey together and dey share everything together o

Her name might be on the particulars, but it is still not exclusively for her except she wanna strain the marriage.

#MyOpinion

I don't know why people are hating on this educative post(quoted) perhaps he ruined his good intentions with one too many insultive words. Notwithstanding, this man is experienced. Many of the people hating on it have never seen a committed relationship or even studied an actual married couple the same age as themselves. As kids, parents would invest in something for us and say they were managing it for us till we older, well at some point they actually hand it over, but in marriage there is no graduation or handover ceremony.

While the post may not appear to be politically correct, it has a lot of elements of truth in reality. Many years ago, My friend's dad bought her a car for bagging good grades at school after learning to drive, she was also about getting engaged to their family friend's son, guess what? she never drove the car as the boyfriend took over, driving the car around town and picking her up when ever she needed a ride, at a point she had to start taking public transport to work because the boyfriend was driving it to his own place of work as well and was too stressful for him to take her to hers then go to his.

The exact same scenario occurred with a close relative of mine, her dad bought her a car, and all of a sudden her man took over the wheels, if you saw how he was positioned in the driver's seat you would think he bought it himself and my relative was just riding along.

In both scenarios, they are all married now anyway.

So I agree with the truthful reality in what ikp12.0 has posted, most girls I know from rich background don't care that the guy shares what they own even though at the end of the day the guys most times simply covert it for themselves and just give her the impression they are managing it for her. Not all guys would do that, I personally wouldnt buy something for someone and then come around to take it from them in the name of helping them manage it. So I see the point here in what the poster is implying.

He could have gotten her something he cant possibly covert for himself if he really wants to be benevolent. She probably cant even drive, at the end of the day he just bought a family car and told her its hers to spice the marriage up. lol some men tho.

bishopkay:
So its no longer about his "illegal" deals, it's now his religious views you are attacking now abi? Saying why Christians would ask an atheist to give them business ideas.

Bro I can meet anyone to teach me a business, so far it doesn't go against my moral standing and conscience. So attacking his religious views was way out of line Bro. You want to tell me you don't or never had aetheist lecturers in school? You should or could as well have skipped his lessons and exams while at it, and see who looses.

Please change that mentality. Yours is to pray and minister unto people. Leave the judgement to God!

Oi what is this? some PR to get in his good books?

I never attacked him, I only stated that Atheists do not have some of the restrictions Christians do, therefore certain reservations on Morality that apply to Christianity as a religion may not apply to everyone else.

I'll give you an example: While an atheist might find no problem working on Sundays, a Christian most likely would. Also while the Christian condemns abortion in its totality, certain groups of Atheists might not see anything wrong in it, as to them its simply the removal of an unwanted foetus especially in the case that its parents might not be economically capable of giving it their undivided attention after birth. While Gay marriage might simply be love between two people and a group of atheists may consider this normal, a Christian wouldn't. While a Christian sees suicide as highway to hell, an Atheist may see it as ending all suffering no consequences.

These belief systems have implications on what we can or cant do for a living as well. That's what my post was about, so we cant expect Atheists or Buddist to have identical kind of morals when conducting business. To the other person they are doing what is within their moral confines.

About seeking help, you can as well tell me there is nothing wrong in a Christian seeking help from a witchdoctor in the hopes they don't get to hear anything about a blood sacrifice to be made to the local diety or that they could filter a few things and pick what they want. Now while its remotely possible to get unadulterated information, not everyone would not be lured to take on the plus.

Is this clear now?

Michellekabod:
This is the second time I can't give myself a counsel.
I am 26 years old and had a son at the age of 16.
In my recent post, I complained about not been able to fall in love or like some one for about a decade.
Miraculously, I am getting attracted to someone. (Not love or like o, I believe with time this attraction would grow to like or love).
I met him six months ago, he asked me out after a couple of weeks but I declined. He has been persistent ever since.
Recently, I found out there are some qualities in him I fancy :he is caring, he is neat and a spend thrift. I started getting attracted to him.
The big issue is that what would happen to our relationship when he finds out I have a son of ten years old? Would he call it quit?
Do I tell him before we incept the relationship? Or I wait for things to unfold with time?...would he stop caring about me if I tell him?

Please I need solid advice, because I don't know when next I would ever get attracted to someone else again...

Is being a spend thrift a good quality?

Apart from the obviously morally questionable businesses Christians know to avoid, there are some few others that have been masked by modern civilisation. Some of these businesses are innocently run by so called Men of the cloth. But let us call a spade a spade. Some businesses should not become means of livelihood for people who claim to be Morally upright. These are a few I picked as all time loopholes:

1. Alcoholic Bar
Unless you have a mechanism in place to ensure each customer drinks responsibly (aren't sold more drinks than they can afford to remain normal) you should stay off this business, you might be guilty of inciting people to violence or rape or worse, murder. The number of broken homes recorded as a result of this harmful liquid substance consumed unhealthily is also alarming. A Christian shouldn't own a business that provides people an opportunity to reach this unhealthy state of mind.




2. Hotel
If you can't hire private investigators or issue demands for Marriage Certificates from each customer that requests a room in the company of a member of the opposite sex (even same sex) that is likely to be a potential sex partner, then this business may not be for you. Need I say more?




3. Ponzi-Scheme
If you have any consideration for widows and orphans you wouldn't participate in one, not to mention owning it. Someone is going to lose money at the end of the day. If you are only concerned it is not going to be you who loses out at the end of the day, then you wouldn't be different from the scammers who are only concerned about making a profit at the expense of others.




4. Consumable-Animal Farm
Now this one is surely a controversial one, while it isn't considered bad per say but let's be honest, why would you rare animals, nurture them, feed them and then send them off to their deaths just to make money? It's a different case if you rear them to eat yourself. Each fowl, goat or cow you sold is probably gonna get killed for food. Think about those companies that raise and kill millions of animals each year just for cash. Raise Dogs and Cats instead so you could sell them as pets and they get to live.

Just typical of Nigerians.... Somebody came with the audacity to tell us that he made a lot of money round triping foreign exchange and you fools are here applauding him.

Cc: seun

You should check the young man's profile picture, that will give you a little insight. It baffles me that Atheists(I heard Seun's one too) could even be poor, I for one would have been as rich as Dangote was at my age given my intelligence.

But I have a belief in God that doesn't permit me to do certain things, I know of executable ideas worth billions that I could do today and neither the economy nor anyone would even be disadvantaged, but they aren't morally justifiable by Christian standards.

It just surprises me that some people who could actually lack morals still crawl the dirt with little to eat and a confessed Christian would reach out to an Atheist seeking help on how to make money knowing fully well it would consist of some unchristian elements, whatever the form.

No its not 18 billion


read the bolded and check the picture out. I am more shocked by the fact that some people actually believe this dude than what he actually did.

majorbravo:
But this doesn't prove anything dude. You posted the statement request page but haven't explained how your first thread had a copy of the Access bank app demo page.

Neither have you explained why your account balance on the second thread had two decimal points: making your kobos to be in hundreds and tens at the same time.

Dude if I were you, I would deactivate my account if I ever wanted to get over this. But I wouldn't do what you did man. That was savage asf.

Lol.. Talk about covering up a lie with self-implicating information.

Isn't it obvious from the first page?

His balance has two decimal points.

Dude's bank actually records kobo in tens and in hundreds too.

......................One hundred and ninety six kobo, nineteen kobo

Why is everyone judging the lady? He might be one of those playboys that trick girls into bed in the name of 'I will marry you'. She looks deeply hurt from her post don't focus on all that makeup in the picture.

She better learn to forget Kunle and love Emeka as he is. Kunle would never even dream of her as soon as she starts to have babies, he should focus on becoming a made man. Life is temporary, don't sweat it over spilt milk.

Please I know this might sound absurd but what is the significance of this
A beau uploaded her pic and up-to 10 guys commented with sweet words,so I was the last dude that commented but to my outmost amazement I was the only one that she liked and replied his comment.
So I have been looking for some green light from her, I don't know whether this is one. Should I take my chances guys
Make sure you give good bleeps

Dude you were too quick to conclude, give it 10 mins, you will find out she replied to every damn person on that same post, she started from the bottom to the top.
