Scarcity is not a myth.Resources are finite. To eat you must work. Before the discovery/invention of agriculture,finding food involved walking for miles to gather edible fruits or hunt wild animals, today you need money to buy the food farmers have toiled to produce. Every manufactured item you use e.g soap,clothes,perfume etc,someone worked hard to produce it.Working hard to earn money is your way of contributing to society while being able to enjoy what other people also worked hard to produce. Money made it possible for people to specialise and become doctors, teachers,cement distributors etc, without money, you will only consume what you produced yourself. Hence,money as a medium of exchange made modern society and civilisation possible.

Some people are just to lazy to even chew the food you put in their mouth.

That’s the sad reality of the planet earth and the order..

I feel this current earth is the real hell, like a prison..
Earth is meant to be beautiful but it seems to have been hijacked by satanic forces and they created money system and a survival mode… eat or be eaten…

It’s hard to imagine a world without money because all humans were born into the system of paying to exist.

But imagine a far away planet, in another star system… imagine a more civilized and intelligent life that don’t dwell on money and you don’t need money to survive but wealth is measured by goodness, love and values and contributions to development, knowledge and evolution…
Just imagine how it would be? That is the real heaven…

How do you measure goodness, love, contributions to development and knowledge?

It easy for the human mind to count money…Yeah! There is flaw but money is still the best for the measure and rewards for efforts.

If you really are making contributions to the society, money will find you. It will take it time to move and get to you but it will.

Both of them are Surulere boys

Well, I fear him. He takes too big risk, risks that put him on the edge of extinction.

For one who already has billions to operate like that is just crazy to me. Elon musk is another billionaire that act like this. I don’t own a single share in any of their companies, their constant jumping around into Anything and betting big on it, just scares the hell of me.

It feels good though to always see them coming out victorious.

Make una continue dey blame adopted children for bad parentage, while those who do it and take it seriously like the families of Tinubu and Steve Jobs continue to benefit from God.

If Steve job was a Nigerian and took the path he followed in life, he would have caused his Un biological parents grave pain. In fact, they would have disowned him before he became what we know him as today.

Racheal45:
Nairaland people are funny but real
I was having a plan to adopt a child with what you said I don change plans
Do they actually know if the mother is mad
That is very correct
Mad people children na orphanage dem mostly Dey end up waiting for adoption

Can’t you just find a man to impregnate you rather than adopting another man’s kid?

Getting a man especially with no emotional attachment should not be that hard, I guess.

emmanuelewumi:
N1000 to 1 USD won't be bad by December 2026

Lol... The way Otedola always screams 'Dangote my brother' at every given opportunity, as if Dangote is a Christian or a Yoruba man, goes to show you how much Otedola really admires that man.

Zackattack:
Don’t allow poverty deceive you. The whole concept of money is just a social construct. If you’re sending your child to school for majorly landing big jobs and making money, you’re behind. Creating value, thinking cognitively and independently, adaptability in a changing world are things you must learn from a wide range of experienced tutors to grow into a formidable character.

Hahahaha…At the end of the day, you are still saying what I am saying….

The needs to survive!

qanda:
Not true. Education is not all about money.

You think people want to become an engineer, so they can make free car for people? Or Spending years, ignoring life of partying around to later become a doctor just so you can treat people for free?

Let them cut the salaries of this guys today and see what will happen tomorrow.

We are humans, every decisions we make are unconsciously engineered into making sure they are one that will be of benefit to us first, to our survival.

We all at one time wanted to be a doctor, pilot why? because this things then to us and to our parents has the highest possibility of giving us a great life. There is no other reason beside this. It how we are biological wired.

We are just an animal, seeking to reproduce under the best possible condition (unlike real animals) and to survive.

Zackattack:
School wasn’t designed to make you money. You go to school for knowledge. It is a must for everyone to be educated.

…If this was the purpose of school all from the start, no parent would have wasted mental, physical efforts and even taking some risks to send their children to school, things some parents still do today. Education can be gotten from home, church etc

The idea of school started during the industrial revolution, when industrialists needed a form of specialized labour to work in their factories, in exchange for a piece of money.

It all about money, life has always been all about money. It a biological design. Over many centuries, this human desire has not changed, it is how we obtained it that continues to change; the means, the technology, the philosophy we use that changes.

From being a warrior, to farmer, to trader, to scholar, to builder and now to this new age we are currently witnessing….

In every Ages, Those who quickly see the trends and jump on it, either by jumping on it themselves or sending their children along that part while they themselves clings to old ways of doing things usually go on to become the tycoon of that Age, they stay at the apex due to their early advantage.

It either one adapt or one die, this goes on forever. It is the painful process of evolution.

Daddy Freeze is a low-IQ dude

Is there any lies in what he said?

buygala:
To live is Christ

To die is gain

At this point, death is gain for you my sister .. Terminal Cancer is a one way street regardless of what its victim thinks

You rest, your family rests, your loved ones rest

You can then, if the universe permits, reincarnate in a better place and personhood

A person can will thought into reality, that reality manifesting can take on any form.

A man burning desire to fly leads to the birth of aircraft, to go longer distance gives birth to automobiles, to speak to one at the end of the earth, birth the telephone.

You don’t try to bend the spoon because there is no spoon, when you realize this, you will see that it is not the spoon that bends but you-Matrix

Death will always expose us.

As chatgpt don't have answers I have to ask my oga

Lol…You must have converted mega NSEMPA money into cryptó ooooh.

We don miss you on the other side…Leave express and Come back to your lane.

verminnel:
Take this from a female , she isnt interested in u and her reason for coming on that date was just to measure u up.sad but its the truth. U spending roughly 6k on a date isnt something u should be whining about .she was even very considerate ordering just a plate of rice,fish and a bottle of coke.U initiated the date and she showed up . U may be a nice guy but she doesnt see anything working between u both hence the nonchallance from her. After the date not even a " Thank You"?Big red flag stop hoping on another date except maybe u want to be santa.Dont be a simp bro!!!

At this point, I have nothing else to add.

@Coolis, summon courage and move on. This is Normal stuff, it happens. And never stop being kind not just to ladies but to everyone around you, every kind act has it own equivalent rewards.

Well, I would have find this crazy to believe but i have a little brother that loves snakes and at one time rear them. I don’t know if he still does.

maasoap:
The woman is already dead, she can't say what happened. I only picked holes in the man's claims. He had a voice when the woman was alive, what happened to that voice at the time?
He just remembered now to speak up, right? We saw how people cried out whenever their ex tried to block them from having access access to the kids

Those men na mumu man, how a woman go block your access to your children. I think they themselves are not ready for children wahala, dem just Dey use that as excuse.

The day my uncle caught his wife cheating, na the very day he sent her packing and took their one and only son away from he, never seeing the boy again. The woman died about 2 years later, possibly from shame, guilt, depression. Left me shocked and sad cause she is someone I really liked. The cheating aside, She is a good woman.

correctguy101:
Especially the son. He'll one day find that he's beginning to understand his father. Women would surely psut him in that position.

Ordinary my friend wey dey do supervisor at one IKOYI big house, he decided to stay at the island until weekends to cut transport. Baba don begin go house everyday now. Reason is, his wife dey tell his children say their papa dey island dey enjoy himself with other women. Na his youngest daughter mistakenly voice the thing wey e hear. No be small quarrel for his house that period. I too follow beg am to forgive madam😁...

You wey decide to marry, be ready for wahala if ya woman na problem person.

I no fit laugh…I don experience this thing before oooo. Women too wicked. That little harmless words go Dey for the children mind and go Dey grow as them Dey grow too.

I like as you friend change am for for her.

iichidodo:
It's just hot emotions at play here and to some extent the dad deserves such as he was quite tactless on that occasion and couldn't read the room, be that as it may,they will see the need to go back to their genealogy not for their sake but children and children's children ..

“They Will go back to their genealogy” tell this to those born in the 19th century.

People of nowadays have no interest in family ties, in-fact; if you allow a teenager to roam as they want this days, they might leave home never coming back again (especially if they stumbled upon infinite money making machine). I am telling you.

Lukuluku69:
Until they are beaten and kick out of the UCL, they are currently the BEST Team in Europe as it stands.

8 wins on the bounce is no joke.

4 away wins in Europe no be moi moi

Of what importance is 8 wins, if they will eventually get kicked out.

The Game is just starting, let wait and see.

Sccarrr:
kindly name the team? 😂

Hahahaha….When the Game is over, I will give you a name. I promise, I will come back to this.

Lukuluku69:
They won 8 times on the bounce in Europe this Season.

Yes! They are in top form but this is champions league, being in top form is not enough to lift the trophy. If you doubt this, look back to when Madrid won three in a row, how bad they were in domestic league then or How check man city glorious performance during 2018 to 2023 and yet failed to clinched the trophy.

wirinet:
Rubbish? Here is the champion league table as of today.

Champion's League is supposed to be a competition for the best teams in Europe. And who won the league?

Hahahaha…That you top champions league group stage does not necessarily translate to being the best in Europe. Guess who topped it last season and who eventually lifted the trophy.

PSG was not in top 10.

thatigboman:
Arsenal is unarguably the best in team in England. And in Europe.

Maybe in England but saying in Europe, you are talking rubbish.

Efcc wey you invited to come meet you, no come. So, na normal person go come…Lol.

RISQUE:
This guy is supposed to be one of the most enlightened men in yoruba land but its just unfortunate

What is so unfortunate about a financially buoyant man wanting to marry more than one wives?

Elon musk has more than 7 children from 3 different women, is he unfortunate? If All the wealthy men in the world should start adopting this dogma do you know how much it will positively influence people lives.

Just for a brief moment, imagine Dangote want to take your sister has his 3rd wife Right now. What benefits would that brings to her family’s and unborn children.

piecuntie:
I decided not to put one naira in crypto again.
I literally wore rags just to save money to put in crypto,I win small $800,then next thing I lose am again with loss,it is well
I have been out of crypto since 2024 and I won’t buy till I see btc at 50k or less
ALTCOINS ruined my Life

Sorry for ranting here but my heart was to heavy

[b]If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on FUD,

If you can trust yourself when markets doubt you,
But make allowance for the bulls and bears' attacks;

If you can HODL and not be tired by HODLing,
Or being FOMO'd, don't give way to greed,
Or being rekt, don't deal in bitter hating,
And yet don't look too optimistic, nor talk too much about early investments:

If you can dream—and not make moons your master;

If you can think—and not make quick pump your aim;

If you can meet with Pump and Dump disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to see the trades you've taken Twisted by whales to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the bags you gave your life to, broken,
And bend and flip 'em.

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one play of long or short,
And lose, and start again with fresh deposits
And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can push your wallet, nerves, and your heartbeat
To keep going even when they're totally exhausted,
And hold on tight when you've got nothing left inside,
Except that strong willpower yelling:
"Keep HODLing"

If you can listen to risky gamblers and still stay honest and smart,

If neither rugs nor hype can hurt you,

If you care about all coins but don't get obsessed with any one;

If you can fill the unforgiving cycle With sixty seconds' worth of due diligence,

Then the whole world of crypto is yours, with all its opportunities,

And even better—you'll truly be a smart Trader/Investor, my friend![/b]

Since joining Manchester City in 2016, Pep Guardiola has been the highest-spending football manager on the planet and by quite some distance.

Guardiola inherited an ageing squad in 2016-17 and immediately spent over €190million in his first season, signing the likes of Ilkay Gundogan, Leroy Sane, John Stones, Claudio Bravo and Gabriel Jesus.

In his debut season, City finished third in the Premier League and trophyless, but it wasn’t long until Guardiola found his flow in England.

During his second season, he spent another €280million signing the likes of Ederson, Bernardo Silva, Kyle Walker, Benjamin Mendy and Aymeric Laporte.

This was arguably Guardiola’s best-ever transfer window, as the majority of his signings that season went on to have long and successful careers at the club.

With a new spine in place, City romped the Premier League, winning it with a record 100 points.

After 2017–18, Guardiola’s side then went on to win five of the next six league titles, in which time they spent over €970million on new players.

Over the past 18 months, it’s fair to say that City have hit the buffers, but their spending has continued to increase during that time.

Following the recent arrivals of Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi, Guardiola could theoretically field an entire starting XI worth £415million, only using players that he’s signed since last January.

As per Transfermarkt, Guardiola has spent a whopping €2.05billion since joining Man City, which is far more than any other manager.

In total, he’s purchased 67 players during his time at the club, with the average cost of a player at €30.5million.

The closest manager to matching Guardiola’s spend during that time is Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone, who has spent €1.22billion since 2016-17.

Simeone himself is the highest-paid manager working today and the bulk of his spend went on the likes of Joao Felix, Julian Alvarez and Thomas Lemar.

Along with Guardiola and Simeone, there are seven other managers who’ve spent over €1billion since 2016.

Those managers are Antonio Conte, Massimiliano Allegri, Thomas Tuchel, Unai Emery, Mikel Arteta, Erik ten Hag and Eddie Howe.

Surprisingly, Nuno Espirito Santo rounds off the top 10, having spent more than the likes of Jurgen Klopp, Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho and Luis Enrique since 2016-17.

There’s no denying that Guardiola is the best manager of his generation, but it’s also true that he’s had way more financial support than the vast majority of managers.

Here’s the full breakdown of the highest-spending managers from across world football since Guardiola arrived at Man City, using figures provided by Capology.

1. Pep Guardiola – €2.05billion

2. Diego Simeone – €1.22billion

3. Antonio Conte – €1.19billion

4. Massimiliano Allegri – €1.17billion

5. Thomas Tuchel – €1.17billion

6. Unai Emery – €1.13billion

7. Mikel Arteta – €1.09billion

8. Erik ten Hag – €1.07billion

9. Eddie Howe – €1.01billion

10. Nuno Espirito Santo – €985million
