MuslimPrince: my first car was a Toyota starlet, handed over by my pman. it happened like dis, sometimes in 2012, he traveled with a friend and left his Carina e wagon at home, being a sharp guy, i had been studying how he drives it(manual suspension), I jst got d key, drive it around d compound for two minutes, I was felling fly, then I had to park it at the spot he parked it, I started sweating, manoevreing to a reverse position, then I got the bumper scratched, I jst leave am like dat. when he came back, he was angry I scratched his car. The next day, he handed me the key to the starlet which he barely drives since he bought the Carina, I was happy, started driving it within the street for four days, then I summoned the courage to drive on the main road till I became expert, and till date, I was never involved in any road accident.
What I love about d starlet is that it consume less fuel, only a little above motorcycle consumption, and its easy to maintain, low cost spare parts and rugeduty.
Four months into use, the car started changing my destiny, I was gradually becoming a mechanic (meco), there is no single day that it wount develop a fault, from plug, fuel pump, caburator over float, exhaust leakage, alignment, in fact the whole car na problem, he con ugly join.
Na one day I sleep 4 bed dey think abt d car, inspiration jst com, say if I no sell am na him go kill me. then I started looking 4 buyer, later sold it for 75k. although, pman vex say if I no want again, I suppose jst leave am 4 ground BT dat one na 'after school lesson'. since then, i dey borrow car go important place ni as I never gada buy real car, and am satisfied with ma jingcheng okada, at least 4 d time being. make ah stop here.

This was exactly what really went wrong wen i was with my ex. I really loved her and she is the type that keeps things to her self. you will never get to know wen she is angry and even wen u have a clue she is, she will always reply with "I'm fine". Things got out proportion and she couldn't cope anymore cos I keep doing the same thing that makes her angry without me knowing she is. she only told me bout all what I did after we broke up. it was very painful....Communication Is indeed the key in every relationship

sauceEEP: Babes ain't sincere shaa,so na only guys dey share their freindzoning experience...... Does it mean guy's no dey friendzone babe? Meanwhile I had this babe that I loved so much,she was fun to be the first time I approached her,I made it clear that all l wanted was just friendship no strings attached, she accepted.
During the course of the friendship, she started development feelings for me but because I recently broke up with my ex l ignored the tell tale signs, all I wanted was just to have fun. It got to a point that she asked me, guy what are we into? Are we dating or what? I reiterated my earlier stand that we are just friends.
After one month, she repeated the same question again and I made my earlier position known to her. She even asked me one time if she's free to date any guy that she likes and I answered her in the affirmative. But now I must confess that I've fallen head over heels in love with her but because I friendzoned her initially am kinda scared what her response would be if I decide to take it to the next level with her.
Bro, its nothing. If she is not dating someone else for now then there are two things involved, its either u try ur luck with her and pray she still has feelings for u or she friendzones you herself. If she still has feelings for you,then u are safe but if she has friendzoned you then my brother, U don enter one chace ...

honeric01: You should have asked him how many jobs in Nigeria pays up to 600k monthly.
Remember they only play once or max 3 times a week for 2 hours each max.
You expect players to earn billions yet you line up spending money to watch foreign leagues to the detriment of your own country clubs. yeye...
very correct....And besides players in top teams like lobi stars and eyimba can boast of at least 2 cars each and even 3 sef...Truth be told, our league isnt thr yet but still the welfare package for the NPFL is okay atleast to the nigerian standard.
Pls what could be wrong with my whatsapp app on my fone. I was using it before i left my fone and after a while I wanted to use my whatsapp app and i couldn't find it. After trying to knw what the probs was, I concluded on installing another one but it kept saying "not installed".....please what could be the probs?? and pls i use an android fone.
Meanwhile...his mates in other countries earn $75000 and above.....a week.
He will soon go abroad.
In all standards and with that amount, he is a big boy around. He may not be collecting a huge salary like his foreign counterparts but trust me, without 600k, he try.....How many civil servant earns that in nigeria??
