Family / Re: Will I Regret Not Having Children by MemoriesAndMe: 3:09am On Mar 28
It's a two-way street, you may or may not regret having kids. But, it may turn out lonely, scary and unfulfilling when you get old.

It may be difficult to find a lasting partner that will share same views with you as most women with African mentality would prefer to eventually settle down and be called a mom. So, you may eventually end up bouncing from one to the other if you don't want to be lonely.

Many people end up having kids but not all of them end up reaping the efforts they put in raising the kids, especially the fathers.

Some people end up getting married and having kids, they end up getting divorced with one of the parents taking the kids away from the other, implying one ends up lacking the feelings parents enjoy from their parenthood experiences.

Some people end up raising kids that end up growing to become wayward and end up being problems to them even at their old ages. So, would anyone say such parents are happy having kids?

On the flip side, when you grow up and no one knows you with any child at all, no one would even tell you before you start feeling inferior around everyone around you. When you get to your fifties and go to see people's families at their homes and their kids start calling you "uncle", their wives start giving you attitudes in case her husband is your guy and y'all want to head somewhere. Women tend to assume someone like that is irresponsible and may not want their hubbies to relate with you.

Don't even be surprised when all your promiscuous friends end up bringing all their sidechicks to your home - you have no kids and it's cheaper than hotels to be around you with their chicks.

Eventually, you will start reflecting and may end up just keeping to yourself and staying away from society as that may not seem like a fulfilled life to many people.

Where and when did the bolded happen? On a movie set? His dad is a veteran actor and what you just said may just be a part of a movie script. It's like saying Yul Edochie slaps Pete Edochie, which doesn't evenake any sense for it to even happen unless it's just a movie.
Business / Re: Dollar Not Selling At ₦1,000/$1 - BDCs Debunk Viral Post by MemoriesAndMe: 9:43pm On Mar 27
Omihanifa:
How can any sensible person believe dollar is selling for 1000 naira at the parallel market when CBN is selling to them at the rate of 1251 undecided

Ask yourself if the BDC guys are in business for profit or loss undecided

Person buy something at the rate of 1251, will he now sell it at 1k ?

Correct!
It affects importers too. Why would someone that got dollars at N1500 when he imported items into Nigeria suddenly start selling the items at an equivalent of about N1000 after paying logistics and huge custom fees?

Properties / Re: Hardship: Rent Defaults Soar As Landlords, Tenants Clash by MemoriesAndMe: 9:19pm On Mar 25
PointZerom:
Any landlord expecting 100% payment will tell Nigerians if he paid for all the building materials used on that house up front.

Have you forgotten that some landlords take out loans to build their houses? If all tenants refuse to pay, how are landlords supposed to pay their loans back? Why should they rent their homes out in the first place if the tenant will end up not paying them after their first year of rent?

I have a tenant that's like that, he simply refused to pay after his first year of rent, saying the landlord is abroad and is ok. My very first tenant for that matter.

Part of what I spent to build the house are from loans I took from banks and I'm still paying the loans back, but suddenly, he doesn't want to pay his rents, lied about his employment status before renting the flat and even calls me for financial support from time to time. Should a tenant be begging for money from his landlord? He has since taken more than N300k from me, that's about a quarter of the initial rent he paid and refused to pay a dime back.

He bypassed his electricity meter and doesnt want to pay for anything at all, including thrash and now rent. Water is already free for everyone in the house, so basically he pays for absolutely nothing. That's not fair to any landlord.

Never tasted that shit since I was born...! It's unlikely I ever will.

I just can't separate the image of the animal before its preparation as meat... I always believe it can never be cleaned well enough to be safe for me to eat.

Have you ever had sausage before? Ham? Bacon? Then you have eaten pigs but just didn't know.

Food / Re: Group Spotted Eating Frogs At Home by MemoriesAndMe: 2:48am On Mar 20
Elegantspiker:
Bros, you are the person mixing things up. Toad is the one around us on land with a rough body & considered poisonous. Frog lives only in water, has a smooth and slippery skin like fish and as such edible. I don't know why the Nigerian society mixup the names.

https://foodbay.tv/toad-meat-should-you-eat-it

That's the link I read about both toad and frog from regarding their consumption. I guess that's what got me a little confused onto which is which.

Travel / Re: Which Country Can 10m Take Me To In This Present Economy by MemoriesAndMe: 1:48pm On Mar 16
Roger3D:
You've got N10m in Nigeria and you want to squander it on a wild goose chase to a worthless foreign country? You need to have your head checked
He's probably still young and want to explore other nations.

My advice to OP is first travel to any country you desire to live, stay there for a moment to understand the place. Then return to Nigeria after seeing it all. Do your analysis and comparisons and make a decision.

If you like it there and can survive there based on what you have seen, then you can consider relocating. Relocating to a new country without knowing what you'd find there may turn out to be a nightmare sometimes.

Some Nigerian folks in the countries you're trying to go to will gladly return to Nigeria it they are sure of having the means to raise the amount You're willing to spend on your relocation to places they're trying to return home from.

press9jatv:
Nawaoooo, she really needs serious help and prayers here. Why are men running away from her. She will be thinking too too much. See her swollen eyes. She don cried tired

The guy probably wouldn't have sent her out of his place if she was doing ok financially and is capable of supporting herself and even supporting him. Nobody wants anyone to be a liability to them. Who knows if the guy in question is struggling to feed himself, now showing up with 3 kids is enough to scare and even shock him.

Calitoscassius:
That is true, however anyone can become ill with cancer regardless if they drank or smoked cigarettes, there are many cancer patients who has never in their entire lives smoked or drank alcohol. Inhalation of Pollution from vehicle exhaust, generator fumes and burning of waste products like used tyres, car batteries and plastics openly can cause lungs cancer also.

Correct. Cancer can be hereditary too..
Celebrities / Re: Davido's Aide Slaps A Fan For Getting Too Close (Video) by MemoriesAndMe: 8:28pm On Feb 13
matify83:
That was uncalled for really.

The guy wasn't even expecting the "sucker punch"

His demeanor posed no harm to Davido from the short clip seen.
But why chase Davido around if he's not a nuisance? Not everyone is a fan. If he had a job, will he be following everyone they call 'celebrities' to take selfies with them?

How many bankers, doctors, engineers, businessmen, IT folks etc have time to be leeching on these people they all want to worship and suddenly start making life uncomfortable for? These are just urchins that want to get close to him and he doesn't care about getting too close to them - who wants to be useful to too many people that are useless to them?

Live and let them live too. If they're indeed fans, let them prove that they have ever paid a dime for their concerts or streaming their music. They prefer to just harass them wherever they see them, even at airports, tours and concerts and even their homes. Don't they deserve their own privacy too? That's nonsense in my opinion and they deserve being thought a lesson

Agriculture / Re: Top 10 Producers Of Yam Globally 2022 by MemoriesAndMe: 1:30am On Feb 09
kenny714433:
The word Yam originated from West Africa. So if the word originated here, I'm sure the crop itself is native to West Africa/Nigeria.

These are things we should be exporting. I'm sure if processed into yam chips and other valuable product, it will be extremely beneficial.

We don't even have working food scientists in the country. Those who studied food science are selling bags/clothes on WhatsApp status. How sad.

Yam is actually exported on daily basis from Africa to western nations. It's actually a profitable business private individuals and firms do once they establish a distribution network. A tuber of yam can sell for as little as $10 in African stores in the US, which is more expensive compared to its actual cost in Nigeria.

How many times do these people buy helicopters for terrorism? We heard about this same news at least twice a year since the past 16 years I think.

They even talked about some special planes from the US to fight terrorism, they arrived in Nigeria and no one heard anything afterwards.

These people just dey whine us ni. They will hire these stuff temporarily, show them off, then return them where they belong after getting cuts from the budget. Same thing happened with Nigeria Air that everyone eventually found out the aircraft was hired from Ethiopian Airlines.

If not for vigilantes, security situation in Nigeria would have been worse than it is now shocked, we have even heard how vigilantes rescued police officers from kidnappers shocked

You forgot to mention the popular phrase they like to say all the time "Some of the criminals managed to escape with bullet wounds".

How is the public and distributors supposed to know the difference between the fake product and the authentic product?

That's not even stated in all these rants. Tell people how to identify fake products FIRST before telling them to report to your office to report fake items.

What if they died from consuming these fake products? Will their dead bodies walk to your office to report the fake products that killed them and their families?
