The man has a point. The kind of rubbish young girls and boys do for validation, even married folks don't wanna be mature and leave those childish stuff once they are married.🤦‍♂️
I fear for this GenZ and their thirst for social media validation.🤮
I'm more active on Nairaland than WhatsApp because of its anonymous setting.

Beverlyjean:
Can u streamline Saudi league...if u can...pls post the link

I actually use the app to stream

These data resellers are something else. How can 2gb finish in less than 1hr into a game. I used MTN 500mb to stream live match just yesterday from start to finish. Haba!

....and I just watched an episode few days ago. Chandler the King of Sarcasm. At a point I wished he and Monica actually got married in real life.
So sad.
I have the whole season 1-10 stored on my hard drive and from time-to-time, play them when I want to have a laugh because of Joey Tribeone.

Fvck! Yuck! 🤢🤮
Can't believe I opened this page while eating. Now, I'm gonna be traumatized for the night. Gaddammit!

Looks like paid ad or something close to it. The first 10-15 comments are like bots.
Looks like he's the most active Minister. Hope he takes care of these officers welfare because their take home shitty pay will always encourage bribery, especially Immigration, Corrections and Civil Defense.

Smh
The same people that we hand the safety and protection of our lives and properties to are the ones dealing with us like this. Haba!
This is why one would leave a blossoming career here and go over there to become a care giver.
I spit on these people.
They must all be tried and de-kitted if found guilty

Anything done by a government worker has to be "paid" for directly or indirectly.
My brother went to renew his driver's license. The lady asked him to give her money for lunch.
I had a payment issue and the person I was directed to help me asked for a token. How can you say you are helping me and still taxing me.
When I went back to my Alma mata to collect my certificate. The lady told me to give her a parting gift since I'm finally done.

My help to outsiders is like a woman's mood swing. I bought a bicycle last year to aid my mini-movements within my locality, and to save cost of Okada fee. Now that fuel has quadrupled, all my neighbours want to "borrow to go get something just around the corner". They wanted to turn it to public usage. I told them all that I bought it for my personal use and nothing more, and if they are interested, I can link them up with the seller.
These days I usually tell people upfront that I like my privacy and anything for personal use, doesn't leave my abode. Get used to it.
"Na person dey make another person wicked" is true. Now tell me why OP would wanna help the next person in dire need.

Eriokanmi:
Like I said, no arguments. Happy Sunday. Have a wonderful week ahead

LOL. Exactly what I thought.
I'll try my best to enjoy my week ahead. Well, I woudn't wanna judge until I get there though. I hope you do the same too.

Eriokanmi:
Good luck to you in your new faith or belief. There's no basis for arguments

No argument here.
As a Christian or believer that you are, why'd you just conclude they are Unbelievers? Is that what you were/are being taught in Sunday school?

Eriokanmi:
Read the comment of the majority. They're unbelievers pretending to be former or practising Christians. You don't need to even respond to them

Your Holiness, from the comfort of your chair, you declared them unbelievers. You already judged them before taking deep thoughts for their various reasons.
What's a lighter word for your Hypocrisy?
I used to be a staunch believer before I started seeing though their BS....just like your comment.

Reading tweets from Daddy Freeze opened my eyes to the scam we have in Nigeria.
Every year the big churches give prophetic declarations and whatever but none of them saw Covid-19 in their vision(s).
A place I was coerced to attend, the Pastor was more interested in winning members, He questions the poor and subtly worship the rich amongst them. He opened another branch and gave his son charge of the place(Family business) and just like every other church our there.
Most Pastors in Nigeria started under a particular brand and after about 10yrs or more of serving, they open their own church. That Pastor-prenticeship business.
People even go as low as using shops or upgraded kiosks as churches so they can be called GOs
These days, I go to church to woo the new females or if I got a new pair of kicks, not to show off but to flex it

All show and no go. Address the poor salary and useless welfare of the officers first before you start ranting.
Most of these officers, especially Immigration survive with the little bribes here and there(which I condemn though). Most Commands and Formations don't have Barracks for Officers. Doing the right thing at the wrong time. 😒😕

Couragejay:
omo this one funny me die 😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂

I guess She was trying to re-act how oyinbos do it in their movies but she no sabi am at all. Na so out teeth just dey clash like bottle.

When she said my mouth tasted like grape, she wasn't smiling, so I'm guessing she meant sour grape.

I'm even thinking about switching to a toothpaste that has lemon flavour. I no wan hear story when next she visits

My Mom's mother has a provision shop a little distant from my Dad's family house. My Dad would rather trek the distance or hop on his bike to go buy things he doesn't need just to gist with my Mom. Their teenage love affair was quite interesting. My Dad always brag about his smooth-talking ways and how my Mom fell for him right from Day 1, while. My Mom keeps denying it

Hausa:
Interesting. Be like na closeup you been dey use.

No, not closeup. It's a herbal variety of a popular toothpaste brand though.

This one happened last year. I brushed after having breakfast, so my neighbour's little sister came around and we gisted for few minutes before I teased her. We locked lips passionately but something was off; She was trying to do it like those foreign movies where both actors rush each other in a hot moment. She was doing the wrong thing at the right time. I was stylishly using my lips to slow hers down. Then I slightly opened my eyes only to see hers wide open and I was like "Do people kiss passionately with their eyes wide open?" It was not working for me so I went second base on her before we were interrupted by a phone call.

After the call, she asked me what I ate before she came, and I asked her why the question and she said my mouth tasted like grape. I don't know if that's a compliment or polite insult After that incident, I changed to Colgate toothpaste.

In the end, we both didn't enjoy each other's lips as imagined.

This is worthless and pointless.. Are u over 30, over 35? U are wasting the time.. what if u don't get that position til you are 50? Is it fun to be training kids in your sixties? There is time for everything under the sun!
What is needed to start kids is a constant income stream!

You do know it is my life and my decision, and not yours.
And not everyone is keen or enthusiastic about getting married or having kids, hope you know this.
So, please, don't tell me how to live life. Bless

Tayorshd87:
He is only trying to let you know that sometimes u may not achieve your goals or plans too and while waiting u may turn 60years of age..

So if u are more than 40 plz don't wait to achieve ur plans yet instead get married and have a kid because old age is real and u need ur kids around you

I get you, sir. I also understand what he meant. I do believe I still have age on my side, that's why I made that comment. If nature being so kind helps me achieve it before or when I get there.

FRANKOSKI:
Nice plans sir. Please how old are you?

Thank you, ser but
Why'd wanna know, if may ask? You know that's a sensitive question to ask young Nigerian men

Basic123:
Have your kids and plan the business at the same time bro.

Don't be paying for nursery school fees at 50

Like I said, I must achieve at least one.
You are right on that but the initial plan is to have just 2, if things don't work out as planned but if they do, I plan on having 4.

I may or may not regret this but I have promised to get to a particular office(promotion) in my organization before I get married.
I also want to have a sustainable business and properties I can leave for my generations to come before I start having kids.

I must achieve at least one of the above mentioned

Look at that person up there saying his so-called stress will end in Joy. You are a thief-wannabe and you are talking about Joy. So stealing other people's money is what you call Joy. #Spits
I don't know what kind of Parents birthed you. They did a terrible job.

I hope you get caught even before you begin, if you dont have a change of heart.
OR worse, another scammer will steal your parents' hard-earned money and the cycle continues.

I see some comments here and I just have to shake my head in disbelieve and disappointment.
As parents, your gaddamn JOB is to train your children the best way you can by taking responsibilities. They(the children) didn't ask to come to this world on their own, rather, father and mother came together to birth them so they should take care of their offspring until they finish school and if possible, set them up financially.

I'm just grateful to my beloved parents for doing their part in raising and training me and my siblings till we left them to start our own life. It's what they owe us.

The OP has every right to say his father is irresponsible if he is running away from his duty.

One used the bank format on me in 2020. I wasted 40mins of his airtime. I kept stalling while engaging him. I kept sending him the wrong pin. He threatened to blacklist me from collecting my own palliative cash. I begged him that I really needed the money.
The useless thief cussed me while I kept laughing. I told him to go buy more airtime so we can talk more na

Validation:
As a teen, I would always take and post photos and checking the amount of likes and comments on Facebook. As time went by I saw it as being childish. Dumped the app ever since. I'm only active on Whatsapp and Nairaland. It's been months since I uploaded my photos on my status. Thirsty for attention/validation died prematurely. Infact, I muted many of my family and friends that regularly post their photos and videos on Whatsapp status looking for likes and comments.

Negroid001:
Can't really say. But if you want to work outside the country. C4d, houdini, zbrush, maya are the standard. Blender is an experimental software for practice. People do amazing stuffs with blender tho.

Your pc is very okay

Thank you very much for these tips. I really do appreciate. Hopefully, we'll cross path in the future.
But I'll keep your moniker in mind for future purpose. Hope you are not planning on quitting nairaland soon sha

Negroid001:
It's okay. Try and create space on your system. 3d softwares use a lot of hdd space and ram.

Ae and c4d can be downloaded for free.

OK. Thanks
So, about getting jobs after being good enough. How do I do that? Just tips.
I need to up my side pay because this regime is biting hard on me

Iyanuoluwa007:
Blender is one of the best.

Yes, it is. But my pc may not be fit enough to handle it. That's my concern

Negroid001:
Currently juggling 3 Nigerian agencies at the same time. Freelancing for all. Collect a lot of side gigs too.

Blender can work on some low end system. It's only rendering that will give you problem. In the interim, try and improve your 3d modeling skills. Modeling is more important than rendering for newbies. Download tutorials and watch. Youtube is your school.

I don't use blender. I use cinema 3d and after effects.

What's the spec of your pc?

My pc spec is 12gb RAM, 512MB VRam, 2ghz processor speed.

Are these apps expensive to purchase? How can I get side gigs in Nigeria? I wanna start here before I go over

Negroid001:
Yo! 8 years of experience in the animation industry. Creatives are not sheeps like government workers, bank staffs, civil service, military personnels. We are not told what to wear. Just look presentable.

Hello, my good Sir. Please, just in few words, what kind of animation do you do? You work remotely for a Nigerian or overseas brand? How did your journey start? Please give me a few pointers.
Currently struggling with Blender and my pc is not really a high-end spec. Thanks.
