Books will go a long way than money will for the 10-year-old. Of course, none of the books suggested by OP are appropriate for a 10-year-old.

Have you forgotten he used the word poor family.

He's not buying books for Ajebutter kids who would definitely value it. He's planning to buy it for kids who have no idea where their next meal would come from.

They would use those books to clean their nyash after defecating. It's better he gives them money.

PedoBear:
So Tunde chess in the slums should start giving every kid money instead of getting kids to play chess??

Tunde gives the winners cash prices. So they're motivated to play because of the cash.

I would therefore suggest that you organize educative kids games for them and give the winners cash prizes.

PedoBear:
I'm doing this charity thing where you buy a present for a kid from a poor family. Any idea what kind of books a ten-year-old would enjoy?
I was thinking of getting a couple of books like Lolita, Ham & Rye, Child of God and LOTR etc.

You want to buy books for a 10 year old child from a poor family?

The parents wouldn't appreciate it. Give the child the money equivalence of the book, and watch the parents thank you from the bottom of their heart.

Well, but the day you forget her birthday you are most likely to get into trouble. One thing the typical woman never gets enough of is attention, care and love and that is the reason I caution against making that available to a female boss! Making that available to your wife is enough to keep working harder at replenishing your store!😊😎

You're not doing it as a lover, you're doing it as a staff lobbying to remain in her good books. So you definitely wouldn't forget because there isn't any emotional tension between you two.

zoedew:
WRONG! PLEASE STAY PROFESSIONAL! The day the compliments don't come her way for one reason or the other you are dead meat! They typically don't forgive wrongs especially when they hold the ace and it is of a personal nature!

If you were very familiar with news papers say like 10 years ago, you'll notice that during the birthday of any serving politician, (could be the president, a governor, senator, reps member...) Company CEOs invest hundreds of thousands of naira to buy advert space and celebrate them.

Do you think they're doing it for nothing...of course not, most of them get contracts worth billions of naira. So in order to remain in the good books of serving politicians, and continue to receive contracts, they must continue singing their praises openly.

Same applies to office politics. Neutrality won't get you anywhere. In a federal government job, you might even be denied promotion if you choose to stay neutral (or professional as you put it). You must lobby your way to the top by acquitting yourself with the powers that be. Only then would you begin to receive juicy promotions.

If it's a privately owned firm headed by a woman, you must lobby your way to be in her good books.

Always be neat.

Know her birthday. And wish her happy birthday. (If possible, get her a gift)

Get a customized calendar for her towards the end of the year.

Agree with anything she says during staff briefings and request to answer any question(s) on her behalf.

With time, you would be noticed...and she'll make you her confidant.

Buy her soft and affordable gifts often and compliment her looks.

When you see her on a Monday morning, just tell her, ma'am you look gorgeous today. You can even tell her to pose for a picture.

If you keep this up religiously, with time, you'll be officially inducted into the office cabal and your life would become better. That's how office politics is played.

When I newly gained admission, I heard one sad story about a lodge presido who ignorantly confronted some cult guys that came to carry out a hit in that Lodge. They didn't come for him, but as presido, he wanted to know who they were looking for and challenged them.

Unfortunately, he was butchered.

You see this life eh, it's not every battle you must fight.

For me, the only females I can stand up for are my Mom, my wife and my daughter(s). If you don't fall into any of these categories, I'll just tell you sorry for whatever it is that happened to you. If the matter is very serious, I'll advise you to make an official report at the nearest police station.

But say I'll go and confront a guy because he had issues with my girlfriend...Never.

22just:
What condition biko?

His dwarf status. Not many girls would agree to marry a dwarf. Unless there are visible benefits.

Tallesty1:
If the legends are correct, then I deserve an award—a place in the Guinness World Records.

Firstly, as the first man to have a spiritual baby.

Secondly, whatever this is, it has been sexually molesting men since the time of creation. So, I believe men will appreciate me for finally putting it/her in the family way. It is revenge for all.

Lol...you should be a comedian.

From the pictures, I'd say the groom is the most happy person.

The groom looks like someone who has rich brothers, and because they couldn't bear to seen him remain single without a family because of his condition, they decided to get him a wife and finance the wedding.

The girl on the other hand, is having mixed feelings about the whole thing. She doesn't look happy marrying such a man, but she knows that she's in a rich family, so that's some kind of relief for her.

Lol... Christmas gift indeed.

Does this crop of SE players look like people who can win any away fixture in that group?

Can we defeat Rawanda, South Africa, Benin and even Lesotho in front of their fans?

How about our remaining home matches, can we say that the SE won't drop points at home?

The truth is Nigeria isn't going to the world cup. The sooner we realise that, the better it would be for us.

This is what you get when you follow the direction of your penis.

You're a broke student dating a fellow student residing in your lodge and you expect her to respect you? You should be lucky she didn't accuse you of rape. You for explain tire.

Tallesty1:
You are the one seeing a ghost Chief.

How do you explain yourself to a layman that you woke up in the middle of the night and found a naked shadowy being in your bedroom and made love to it?

That's a succubus bro...

Obsanjo was right. Democracy isn't for Africa.

Tallesty1:
7 months later

So you'll sleep with a ghost? 🥴

doggedfighter:
That's if you can afford a bbl lady.




Bbl ladies are highly maintained and only certain kind of men can afford them.


So saying you don't want them is irrelevant because can't even maintain one.

It's not about the op being able to afford them...he's just giving an advice so that any girl who might be thinking towards that direction can have a rethink.

I heard about one girl who did it, although I've not set my eyes on her since she did it. Fact is she doesn't have a job or business. Do you think the men bankrolling her today would look at her direction twice once she clocks 40?

NoshakingGod:
With my hard earned money as a struggling woman, I sent someone to buy me a tv and he came back with this and after I perused on the product, I realized it's made/assembled in one village in Imo state, Nigeria. It's even written MADE IN NIGERIA on it.

Television made in Nigeria? Since when?

I have tested it and it works fine but I'm concerned about the quality and durability.

Who has used this "Skyrun" tv?

Is it a good one?

Should I keep it or go return it and collect another known brand like LG etc?

My dear there is nothing wrong with skyrun TV. I don't know much about their other products, but if it's their TV, I'll tell you that as long as you connect it to a good stabilizer it would serve you for years.

I'm tired of hearing May, Would...let it fall. They should give us direct news. News like fuel prices has crashed to N250 per liter.

Not may and would...those ones are just propaganda to give their followers something to talk about.

Kajaard:
Let's be reasonable here. A crate of eggs goes for about 1500 naira if I remember quite well. Your wife is asking for 100 naira for each sale. I don't think she is being unreasonable.

She is your wife and not your girlfriend for God's sake. Emphasis on the WIFE.

It's not everything you bring to social media bros.

It's like it's been months since you bought egg last. A crate of egg goes for between 2,800-3,000 depending on the size.

@ topic.
I don't see how this should be a problem to you. You're the one who needs to shift grounds here. She's working her àss off to sell your eggs, and you want to pay her N50, what do you want her to use N50 to do?

If you feel the N100 she's asking for is too much, you can either increase your crate price so as to cover the N100, or stop her from selling your eggs and do it yourself.

Neddyogu:
.Ex-cons can't vote naa, abi dem don change am?

You sounding as if APC regards the law.

This administration is lawless... they'll twist and bend the law to favour themselves.

They can look for a buyer around that area to buy it. From the pictures, it would be safe to say that place is an emerging rural market. So it won't be difficult to find buyers, cos everyone is building.

kponkedenge:
Lol baba don vex.

No bro I'm not angry, I'm just pissed off.

The thread is clearly about an American man. So I replied based on how divorce works in America.

But this feminist, I don't know what her problem is decided to misinterprete what I wrote and made it about Nigeria.

Sometimes I wonder how they cope in their relationships with this kind of attitude. Imagine dating someone who would manipulatively turn your own words against you? Na wa o!

Kobojunkie:
So, the solution to not being able to bond with your kids the way you would hags preferred is to altogether abandon them and have for yourself other children?

The mind of a Nigerian man ehn....

See I don't have strength for your baseless arguments. If you delibrately choose to misinterprete what I wrote fine. You can say and think whatever you want. As long as it would give you relief. Just keep away from my mentions.

Kobojunkie:
How does loosing custody of your kids change the fact that they are your kids anyway? Are they only your children if they are 24/7 focused on you and you alone?

You won't get to see and bond with them as often as you want. Most especially if they're still kids.

Some women relocate to another state after a divorce in a bid to start afresh. And if she wins custody of the kids, it's definitely going to cost you a fortune moving up and down just to see them.

And since the man underwent vasectomy, he can't get impregnate a woman.

Hanty don turn motivational speaker.

Dear cuppy, there is more to love than a good build, cute face and honey díck.

Spend ample time knowing your next guy much better. This would help you know if you're compatible or not.

Resist that urge to show off anyone you meet on social media. If fact keep your love life away from social media. Cos most people don't actually care.

Jagaban is raising another army for 2027.

These lots would be reserves for army group south, led by field marshal Mc oluomo.

These bailed inmates now owe their lives to him. When the need arises, they'll be called upon to pay repay back this act of kindness.

What if your wife divorces you and you loose custody of your kids to her...what then?

You can't reproduce cos you've done vasectomy. You'll end up dying of depression.

eni070:
I'm a married man. I have some issue with my wife which I post here sometimes ago https://www.nairaland.com/7858864/please and she moved back to her parents. Though I'm wrong here because I beat her. She left me and the kids for 3day because we had little understanding. She came back and too my kids and move to her parents place because I beat her. I want to get things settled and I plan on going there soon. I'm doing this for my kids. Is it normal for me to get her mom a gift

@bolded.
You're just interested in seeing your kids not her. Which means that if you succeed in convincing her to come back, there's a high possibility that you'll beat her again. Because the main reason why you wanted her back in the first place was because of the kids.

You must desire her if you want peace in your home not just your kids. Reignite your love. Take her out on dates, this would help mend whatever is broken between you two.

CandyOps:
You get mind to do BBL for 9ja. Just like crossing over to Mexico city for a surgery because it's less expensive than US.

Pele... if a whole 1st Lady of the country, Miriam Abacha , can die from complications after a Lipo who are you, my Gee/Geeress (female Gee)

Stella Obsanjo not Mariam Abacha. The later is very much alive.

Of course they would beat him. Every one knows that the supreme Court is an extension of APC.

RoyalBlu:
Na wa o.

When the whole packet sells for 700-800. (Dogan's brand)

Retailers are not helping matters at all.

The question is how many pieces of sugar are in the packet?

When you add transportation and miscellaneous, you won't blame them for selling 4 cubes N100.
