Vini
Depay
Dest
Lucas
Gavi
These are the names starting El classico these days, no wonder nobody cares anymore.

Satan punish you, your generation, your next life, your future, your destiny, your hope. You'll rot in the hottest part of hell idiot

But Y because of Ronaldo and Messi Remove your emotions and read those insult you just typed , what do those ways say of you??

There is something I don't understand about these Messi Vs Ronaldo argument amongst fans. Are you getting secretly getting paid for all the energy and devotion you give to these guys or it is just lack of better thing to do with your time. I've been following football passiontely since Korea/Japan 2002 and for the life of me, I can't think of any single time I spent argument about football players.

Hmmmmm

You just chronicled my life history as well...well done, sir...

I'm still running things in the hole...the largest my bank account has ever seen at once na #110,000...about 3 or 4 years ago...since then, just roughing things up...

I write articles, though..that has been my main source of income... currently striving to learn Copywriting...

This is not what they told us about making money online oh...but we move...

It is well...

I really hasn't been easy, but I'm still on it I believe something real good will eventually come out of it

Do you ever feel like maybe you might have missed the opportunity to do something meaningful with your life? Like you look back at your youth and wonder about things you should have don't but for some inexplicable reason you chose to do otherwise and now there is no going back, there is no way for you to turn back time and redo or do them again?

I've lived a life full of mistakes, my biggest mistakes was pursuing how to make money online with the mind set that it's a lot easier than making money offline. I should have known better, then maybe I wouldn't have made the very costly mistakes I made over and over again.

Being the typical "get it now" young blood that I was, I started my journey into making money online as far back as 2013
Yes 8 years ago and up till today I haven't hit the mega millions, I had imagined that before my 27th birthday I will be counting my millions.

I was just an undergraduate when a friend suggested blogging to me, he said and I quote "all you need to do is write something, post it and Google will pay you as people read your post". I was hyped--

It sounded unbelievably easy, I have been telling and writing short stories just for my and my family's entertainment since I was in primary school writing had always been easy for me, same as telling stories I could just see an event unfold and an entire story will play out in my head. I literally could make a story out of anything.

I was so good that by the time I got to SS1 I had most of my class mates believing I was born on 29th February, (I'm talking about classmates who knew me so well they had even been to my birthday parties which which always in March) it was just a harmless prank but because of how believable I was when telling stories they completely bought my fake story of being born on 29th February and only having a birthday once in 4 years.

So when my friend suggested I pick up blogging I thought easy pizzel, I'll write so many articles in a short period of time that Google will come looking for me. But it never happened, as a matter of fact if Google was ever going to search for me it will be to arrest me for leaving my blog dormant for close to a decade even I can't remember the email and password to the blog.
Blogging was supposed to be easy, but what I didn't put into consideration was the fact that I was an undergraduate, and I had classes everyday except weekends, with very little free time for myself, also I had test and exams to prepare for. To add to all that I didn't even know a single thing about keywords search or how to write SEO rich articles I didn't even know how to promote my blog across social media( well Facebook and Twitter cos those were the only social media i was very active on back then). imagine how limited my reach was I had less than 10 followers on twitter. I had started something I couldn't finish.

So after a few bright hot weeks, and some not so well written articles, I dumped the project without making a single penny. I was done with blogging. I sort the next big thing. But The next adventure almost left me bankrupt.

I came across one guy promising to reveal to me the. "secrets' of the internet. He had promised an ebook detailing how the top 20 successful online millionaires made their money and he swore there was no way I'll read the book follow through on all the very detailed steps and wouldn't be raking in at least $10,000 by the end of the month. ("All my ear stand"

I could barely contain my excitement, I was already calculating how much I'll be making by the end of the month, back then a dollar exchanged for about 150 naira official bank rate, so 10,000 dollar was give all take 1,500,000 unbelievable I looked at the dirty hall 3 ( Uniben Male hostel) room I was sharing with over 9 other students, I smiled telling myself just bear, by this time next month I'll be in BDPA(self con) I'll get a brand new HP laptop not this old school Pentium M my elder brother finished its life before handing over to me.

But I needed about $10 dollars to get the "magic" E- book and I had to get a PayPal account to enable me purchase the ebook unfortunately back then you couldn't open a PayPal account from Nigeria. But I wasn't going to let that stop me, it's 10k dos we are talking about here. I search online and discovered another guy who promised to help me open and fund PayPal Account for a fee.... if I remember vividly about 8k so everything it will cost me to become a million by the end of the month will be less than 15k. It was a bargain , one I had to grab with both hands.

But I didn't have the money then, so I did what every good student would do, I "invented" a textbook I needed to buy. I called home, told them we needed to buy text book and do another clearance but my dad wouldn't bulge he said whatever clearance I had to do can wait ( this is how devil tries to frustrate you when you are on the verge of a breakthrough I thought- shey devil is using my own father against me). The devil doesn't know who he is up against, I won't let the devil stop me from making my first millions online, so I piled pressure on my mom and being the sweet sweet mother she is she sent me money, she couldn't send the whole 15k I asked for, she sent me about 9k and asked me to wait till end of the month when my dad will send me more money. But I couldn't wait, no way this opportunity could vanish the next day, so I squeezed out all the emergency change I had saved up and signed up for my next adventure.

Everything cost me about ₦11200 when I was through getting the PayPal account and paying for the magic ebook, I was left with 1500 and take note this was on the 9th of the month.

When I got the ebook, I forgot about classes for an entire week, I focused, read the entire thing from cover to cover, so many testimonies and "steps" on how to make this #10,000 online. You know what the most annoying thing is? The secret strategy to make money online that this ebook advertised was to write and sell ebooks online just like the author did....������

So indirectly they were taking me back to writing and posting, the same thing I couldn't do with a blog because of school how would I be able to write an entire book, and promote it enough to drive sales online if managing a blog proved too challenging. My heart broke, so I was still going to be stuck in this smelly hostel for the forseable future, and to make matters worse I was now left with only 250 naira. I just bought a way one ticket Sapa land.(Wetin hunger use my eye see that month)

So I quit, and decided to focus on my studies, I'll study hard, graduate and get a job in an oil company even though no member of my family works in an oil company, I have never been to any oil company in fact the closest I have gone to an oil company is Total filling station. But once I'm through with service I'll get a job in shell... No Chevron my course mate Gesi, say Chevron pays higher than shell, so Chevron it is- once I graduate with 2:1 and I'm able to locate where the company is, I'll get a job and start earning at least ₦250,000 monthly...The plan was set in motion.


So I did just that studied finished school and got a job at Total Assurance Mirco Finance bank. (Ha u never see anything- this na real life not Nollywood)... My first salary was not 250k I no even see half self I was placed on 20k monthly salary, 3k transport and 2k wardrobe allowance- at least you can't say there were no add ons to the salary����)

After slugging it out for over six months, a friend of mine introduced me to his friend who had just "collected" from Malaysia ( Don't ask, if you don't what I mean, just read on), the said friend wanted to open a night club.

I went to see him, without any real expectations in mind as a matter of fact if he had offered me a job for 30k I'd have jumped at the offer. He offered me the position of a supervisor, when I heard my salary was 50k I almost knelt down to thank him. How life had straighten my brain...from 10k dos to 50k naira that is not grace to grass again o this one is Grace to sand sand.

Sometime I look back at what would have been...Truth is during my undergraduate days I had been exposed to good opportunities to make money online but maybe because of how naive I was or how the marketers choose to deliver their sales pitch I felt like if I wasn't making this money in a short period of time, I had obviously done something wrong and should quit. But that is not true the truth is any of those things I tried could eventually have made me money online if emphasis on if....if only I had stuck with one long enough. But for some reason make money online sounded more like make money quick in my ears that was my personal undoing. So here I am many years still working in the hospitality business asking whatever happened to the million dollar dream.

I have made my mistakes, all I can do is try to ensure that for as many people as I can help guide them unto the right path. If you are trying to make money online either as a student or a fresh graduate or even if you are already working I admonish you to learn from my errors;


1. There is no easy way to make money, be it online or offline if anyone tell you it's easy they are lying to you. Forget about sales pitch or YouTube videos that insuates that there is a secret or hidden technique that will allow you to start raking in millions by the end of the week its pure lie. Take it from me.

2. If you can't perserve don't start, my major problem back then was that I lacked patience. Once I hit a bump all my motivation automatically evaporates always running to the next shinning thing, like I detailed earlier the moment I encounter any sort of difficulty or a big challenge I start searching for the next shinning thing with the hope that this next thing will be easy than the current one.

3. The best time to start is now, don't leave till tomorrow what you can do today that's the saying right- don't procastinate, the sooner you start the more time you'll have to make mistakes and learn.

5. Don't set unrealistic goals. I know we all want it now, but it's not gonna happen like that especially with online business, you need to be realistic with your target. Don't start a blog today expecting 10000 page views by the end of the week, not gonna happen unless you already have the reach.

6 Don't quit again I repeat don't quit there is no venture that isn't profitable you just have to take your time to learn properly and be very very patient.


I hope you pick something that helps you both in your online and offline endeavours: Yours truly "broke Yahoo boy"

All these dooms day prophecies. Just watch nothing major will the happen the world will just keep going like nothing has happened. If the world didn't end in 2020 nothing will end this world again

I don't even know what to say. I think Buhari and his handlers have totally given up on making sense anymore it's just about who drops the biggest punch line in this comedy Regime.

In other news whatever happened the the funfaire with the the Chinese yuan some years back I thought some "super" economist said converting half our foreign reserve to Yaun will automatically make the dollar fall. Well I guess it has fallen to an all time low of #575 from it's previous high of #216.....We just like to decieve ourselves in this country

I don't understand, are now saying we have Nigeria citizens and Biafra citizens

I don't think any Nigerian politician is beating good fruit

Elite citizens

Is this village people thing for real??

He will surely surpass the record set by Drogba

At a time when many governments around the world, such as China, are restricting the adoption of cryptocurrency with increased regulations. A small Central American country with a population of just about 7million poeple has become the first country to accept Bitcoin as legal tender in a move that has got both national and financial analyst across the world debating the opportunities and dangers of such bold move. From today, businesses in El Salvador will be obliged where possible to accept the digital coins as payment.

The government is giving a $30 incentive to citizens to encourage them download the new digital wallet app. Currently more than 200 new cash machines are being installed across the country to enable dollars to be converted into Bitcoin.



UNPRECEDENTED MOVE BUT HOW HAVE THE CITIZENS REACTED

The government has presented the measure as a way to boost economic development and jobs however Polls suggest Salvadorians are not prepared for the move, Recent protests in the capital, San Salvador, have demonstrated a lack of confidence in the move as many citizens are still unfamiliar with cryptocurrency.

A survey by the Central American University (UCA) found that only 4.8% of the 1,281 asked understood what Bitcoin was and how it was used. More than 68% of those questioned said they disagreed with using crypto-currency as a legal tender. But someone is excited about the announcement.
26 years old taxi driver Daniel Hercules, is excited by the move, but also worried about how stable his earnings will.

"I've accepted Bitcoin for about two months since I knew this was coming. I just had someone pay me $40 in Bitcoin for a fare to the airport but it's rare. Only around 10% of customers prefer to pay with Bitcoin." Another excited party is former El Salvadorian resident and now US-based Bitcoin enthusiast Gerson Martinez who believes El Salvador won't be the last country to adopt Bitcoin.

"It's hard to describe the hope and joy it makes me feel that our country is the first domino to fall in this inevitable transition. What a time to be a Salvadoran,"

More than 2 decades. The dwarf made it look like he never wanted to leave as Barca is going bankrupt already and can’t meet up his wage demand. Why can’t he take wage cut and stay and take maybe 200k per week so that the club can recover again.

You do know that under Spanish labour laws the lowest paycut anyone is allowed to take is 50% also professionally he isn't allowed to play for free. If we are being sincere here Barca's biggest problem was signing players like greizmann dembele and Coutinho at exorbitant rates.

OP is obviously still a 'child'
You haven't 'tasted' life, so to say
Keep listening to Rema

I'm very sure I'm older than you, unless you were born in the early 80s and I highly doubt that from your clownish comment

tunjilee003:
Well, one of the problems we're facing in this country is population explosion, if we can control our birthrate, everything will be at optimum... These children you see at the roadsides with little or no formal education are likely to be blended into the banditry business(since its lucrative in the northern part).... Once population is controlled, unemployment, kidnappings and all social vices can be at optimum....

very true

234GT:
Overrated city!

You lot will just come online and type overrated city as if your place of origin is in any way better than Lagos. Lagos is number as far as Nigeria is concerned it is both the commercial and entertainment capital of this country.

P.S I don't reside in lag, grew up there but currently in the south, don't think there is any state down here that comes close to lag in terms of commerce and work opportunities expect only port

Good for them


But I don't understand nairaland now, each time a post a link to my YouTube video is get banned by their antispam video yet I see lot of other people doing it, and the most annoying thing is these videos are self curated videos yet I get banned for posting it here, I like Seun and lala or whoever is in charge to let me know which rule I break by posting my personal video on nairaland.

Reddit and Quora that are bigger than niaraland aren't as sadistic and calous as seun

So so sad

What about someone who is working buy want to start a business to support his current job

Buy my umidigi A7s it comes with 2gb Ram and 32 GB ROM very very strong battery life and I bought it new from Jumia just a few months back

efficiencie:
It's sad though. Particularly in the north where it is predominant to believe that God has already provided what a person will need from cradle to grave so no need to cut down fertility rates! The flip side of this is that when nations embrace reduction of fertility rates it becomes difficult to reverse the trend when the population starts to age!

it's that believe that "God will take care of the children" that I just don't like, I mean is a lazy man's excuse to keep giving birth to kids without any thoughts whatsoever to what they would eat or the kind of life they'll have

Laird:
@op You are very right and insightful

Thanks my man

efficiencie:
You could have presented your logic without writing a PhD thesis na. There are situations you are not accounting for:

1. Parents may be well to do before they had children but due to a twist of fate they may struggle when their children are teens and the parents may not be able to meet the same standards they wanted for their kids.

2. Parenting goes beyond providing the basic amenities. Parenting also involves mentoring, early warning signalling, long term investments and the inculcation of values. Many of the parents who are well to do may not be meeting the other responsibilities required of them hence their kids become wayward, uncouth, unstable, anti social or even psychotic!

3. Accidental parents make matters worse. Not every parent was prepared to be a parent. We have rationalized baby mamaism and we now have a pandemic of accidental parents who have little or no training to give their kids, little or no experience mentoring anyone, no solid means of livelihood and no bearing or direction in life. No matter how rich such accidental parents are they will always constitute a threat to the society by breeding problematic children.

Parenting is a tough job and only a few are prepared for it.

Sorry about the PHD thesis believe me I didn't set out to write a "thesis" but what I saw was heartbreaking and depressing I just need people to see that they are already running these little kids life by bringing them into this world when they know they can't take care of them. These kids have very limited opportunity to ever become something great in the future and that's just the truth. I don't like when kids are mad the suffer for the silly mistakes/decisions of their parents

Umidigi A7s for sale bought brand new from Jumia....interested person can DM me for pics and price. thanks

Hathor5:
This is a very well written piece and I agree with the points you have raised. It is the 21st century and people should be responsible about the number of kids they have. However, I wonder if the poor know much about family planning. The sad part is that there are no government incentives to help poor people with family planning.

In a different context the picture would make sense. I have noticed that many times people from humble backgrounds, not necessarily those from extremely poor backgrounds, tend to be more grateful to their parents than some privileged kids who still complain how their parents could have done more, behaved differently, given them this or that.

So it all depends on the context. I know the picture shows a poor family but people from middle-class or upper-class homes complain sometimes too. And even though I know that kids need more than money and that some homes lack love, affection or peace and parents do not have enough time for their kids, I also know that most parents, except for the dysfunctional ones, want the best for their children and give them their all. So I am equally annoyed when people blame their parents for not having done more or even worse for their own mistakes.

And then I think to myself that one day they will have children of their own and realize how much their parents have actually done for them and how hard it can at times be to be a parent.

I think the government at all levels (particularly in Nigeria) has failed when it comes to educating the people on issues of child birth and family planning. I feel like more should be done in that regards. we are a country with very little economic growth and development yet we have one of the fastest growing human population, you see how that can be a big for us in the nearest future.

SportsHD:
Very valid points.
My fear is, in no distant time, we'll have a population of china and a worse spiralling economy. Everywhere falling to shiits.

And yet, someone is still calling me that he just gave birth and he doesn't have enough money to clear the hospital bills.

Later on, the child grows up in a bad neighborhood, influenced, then becomes a statistic!

see! those are the type of things we should try to avoid in this country. imagine the child has only been born and the parents are already running up and down
