Mccullum:
You'll wail till 2027 to 2031.

What a sorrowful work your pay Master assigned you.

The wailing is by everyone, you inclusive unless you don't reside in naija. Are you not buying petrol at 600? Gas at 1300? Dollar at 1k? Let them stay till 2090, just as he suffers, so will we all.
One of the prominent jagaban supporters, a fellow in my adugbo, it was yesterday we saw bros landed in Canada 3 days ago. He posted picture on fb. On chatting with him, he said naija don taya am, say no future for him. But why him no stay support him darling daddy move the nation forward I asked? He said from Canada he will show support. Lol
One day we will have sense.

AustineE1:
keep quiet...the price of 1kg of gas is now #1300. Na who those useless appointments help.

Well said.

omooba969:
Ok let me ask the question in another way -
'Is the human being made for the customs/culture/tradition

or

customs/culture/tradition is made for the human being?

Customs, culture, and traditions are created by human beings to reflect their values, beliefs, and societal norms. So, in essence, customs, culture, and tradition are made for human beings, as they are products of human society.

How does 'not paying a bride price' invalidates a legal/ church marriage?

How does 'paying a bride price' make a marriage a proper one?

It does not invalidate a legal/church marraige.
I do not know if you are a christain and what church you attend. But in most churches, they make sure you have fulfill ed the traditional rite before conducting your marriage. Some ask if tradition has been settled during the service.
Most tribes in Nigeria from Yoruba, igbo, efik etc will ensure proper traditional marriage is done.
Why do you think people getting married abroad but cannot visit naija, still have traditional marriage done for them, even using pictures as representatives?
But you op from years of seeing your post cannot be a young man, you know better, why are you asking such questions naa?

School fees 5m + fuel 120k weekly seem to be the highest, groceries, kids allowance, electricity recharge, benson and hedges, food etc.
Omo, everything join de chop monie.

nairayouthcom:
Oga shut the hike up
Do you know if the man has make move to meet the woman family ?
Do you know if she has gotten preg before he sees the marriage list ?
Do you know if the woman calm the mans mind down that they should go live together that what the family demanded is damn high that they will do nothing?
Not supporting the man but the woman here is not saint and also f***k the so called cultural practices

Lemme tell you a little story
One of my big brother impregnate an Igbo lady years ago while in sch, so the agreement is that if the nigga finish university the dowry will be paid
Lol and behold in few month the lady parents move the lady to village or so
Up till this moment we were unable to figure out where the lady and the child his now
Mind you, it’s over 10years

Till this present moment we are still searching for the lady
We need the product of affairs

Since you are uncouth, you don't deserve a response.

Simple solution, send your kids to public schools then.

GrammarNazi1:
I stay in Anambra and women do this too.

So?

Women do it all over, does it make it right?
I said Lagos, because that is my environment.

khalling2008:
Useless culture, no wonder they used their leg to wake their parent. Awon omi irankiran

So you want your eg your sister or daughter to get "married" without her bride price being paid? Not be married in the proper way? To stay with a man for 23 years and have kids yet dowry is not paid?
You call the culture of proper marraige rite being done and having consequences if it is not done properly "Usless"?
I am married to an ilaje princess from ondo. A kings daughter and I had to do the right thing to be properly married, white wedding and court wedding was not as important to them as the traditional marriage rites.
I see so many young ladies here in Lagos that will get pregnant, stay with one egbon, saying it is her husband, after 8 months the lady is back in her parents house, next thing is to start runs. Is that the culture you appreciate?

Na wah, jews control the world.

phr0nesis:
I'm not sure Nigerians can ever learn. Buhari's first term should have taught us a lesson, but we went ahead and voted him a second time. Tinubu said he will continue where Buhari stopped; an indication that the hardship will continue, but he ended up winning the election.

He even went as far as saying youth will eat ewa, garri, cassava etc, people praised him.

Zanzibar1:
There is a high increase in the cost of running every business

Oga, I drove pass akowonjo and shasha road yesterday morning around 10 am, noticed so many shops were locked up. Busy area before. I learnt most do not bother opening due to poor sales, transport cost etc, so it is not worth it. Some shops open later in the day, as the owners come to sit in the shop since they cannot pay staff to come usual morning opening time.
On the same akowonjo road, visit most eateries, they are mostly empty, few turn on their Ac due to high diesel cost ie ₦1050 per liter! How much will you sell to operate at such cost of running Gen? Only one joint at Egbeda junction seem to be doing well as the sell open air.
Businesses are really struggling these days.

Sermwell:
Actually, it's not them that will die!! It's YOU!

He is so dumb to realise that.

BOSSkesh:
All the saboteurs of our economy will face the wrath of tinubu and Allah

Seems you do not want to face reality.

These charlatans are on the path to destroying this country finally. In 4 months $ has gone from 460 cbn rate or 750 black market to 1025! This one is that we are watching it like movie. What do you think will happen in the next 4 months?
Someone said all youths need to be contented is to join army, learn how to clean and cock gun, be fed cassava in the morning, ewa in the afternoon, garri in the evening, then they go to bed, you all thought it was a joke, people even defended the statement.
He famously said, nothing concerns the ordinary Nigerian with forex as they will farm and eat what they grow, then exchange farm produce for veriety. Lol
Pikin is flying presidential private jet to go and play polo, owning $11m house, meanwhile guys living on cassava, garri, ewa are still on this forum hailing them based on tribal or party reasons. No be juju be that?

Zupay:
You are showing off your lack of knowledge of Nigeria's geography, anyone who is not Yoruba, Fulani/Hausa is definitely Igbo....what a dunce.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Are you minding the mumu man?

TONY042:
Normally dem no dey bring good news.

Make them tell you say 12kg gas na 2k, petrol na ₦80 per liter, diesel na ₦100, dollar na 140, 1 loaf of bread na ₦100, say economic growth na 8%?
Ok. Make I tell you the good news on their behalf.
Naija is doing well.

Bakrabas:
It's well ....

I didn't know the period that op was talking about but from what I heard from my parents and lecturers, Nigeria was once a great nation.

Bad leaders, insecurity and poor economy are the major problems.

I've $40 dollars now I don't want to spend it cheaply because it's almost ₦40,000 to tell you how poor is our economy. Who knows maybe be in few weeks to come $40 might be #80,000 I didn't pray for such though

This country was good. Very good compared to now. In the 60, 70s lots of people that went to school abroad returned, had good jobs. That is why you see alot of people born in the 70 having foreign passports. When the country started nose diving in the 90s, those kids relocated.
We even thought it was bad during Obj til Jonathans time, but you know what? The 16years PDP was there, dollar and pounds remained relatively stable! It was between 100 to 140 to the $. 180 to 240 to 1 pound. It was only during the election period $ went up to 180 due to politicians stacking it if which it wound have returned to the former range.
This 9 years of apc, the destroyers has completely devastated Nigerians and their purchasing power. They have turned Nigerians to paupers!
About 3 years or so ago, I complained of how naira was loosing value. I had 2m in an account I had not touched for years, infact it was dormant. I decided to change it and put in my dom account. That 2m got me $3k+2k pounds. I was upset at how naira had spoilt, not knowing it Will get worse.
Today, that same 2m can only barely get me $2k! No be juju be that?
One will assume when people hear "apc" or "T" not even "nubu", they will pick race. For where? For tribal or party reasons they still worship who had impoverished them even defend their offsprings flying presidential private jets to play polo or buying $11m homes.

phunkies9:
That GT guy self collect one of my guy babe that year…… my guy nearly fall into depression

Lolz, who be this gt, the guitar boy ohh??

shortgun:
It's either you are are lying or you are telling us a fictional story.
One thing I've come to know about Nigerians is they will always discourage people from joining their line of business or tell you how difficult it to make a living from what they are doing.

Even the ones abroad will always discourage other Nigerians from traveling abroad

He has no reason to lie. It seems the frustration made him write about his experience.

So in that case, if scales had a gun, he should have shot at them or mobilized the neighborhood to treat them as robbers since they are not efcc.

Unperturbedpota:
This one has'nt seen anything. This one small , pray ,make NDLEA no burst you. They burst my neighbor's house at 1am , they bloodied the guy and even shot all his dogs. The police men that came around were even speechless at the brutality displayed by NDLEA

What did your neighbor do about it? Hope he did not "leave it for god"
One the other hand, he should consider it as his meal ticket out of the hell hole.

benuejosh:
What's the hope of a poor man in the rural area.

The hope of poor man in the rural area?
Na wah for you of all people asking this question.
Your darling oga at the top said just last year, with a casual look on his face and dismissive wave of his hands, that all youths need is to be feed cassava, garri, ewa, dodooo etc to exist. E bad e bad, put then in the army, teach them to clean and cock/ fire gun, then they eat cassava etc. You in particular joined to hail and defend him. You thought he was joking?
He did not say eg youths will be empowered, get best education, learn skills, access cheap entrepreneural financing, get best healthcare etc, rather you will farm and eat the product of your farming. Why then should you want more out of life when you can plant cassava and eat it 3 times daily and bellefull?.
Please don't be ambitious, be contented.

Fuckingmallam45:
U know maybe he pay? Moreover, family of the president can use Airforce 1 if they are on official visiting. Say something you know. It's there in their constitution

So even if it is in the "constitution" of the US, a country with over $70k per capita, it is in this case we a country with about $2k gdp should copy them?
"you know maybe he pay". I no go answer you on that one.

DaddyGngeess:
If my father is the president i will travel with the presidential flight too, no biggie about that

Even the USA and UK with how rich those countries are, this cannot happen there. If the president's family uses a government jet for personal travels they pay for it.

Fantastic news. Nigeria should pay for a 747 jumbo jet for his personal use, this one is too small. We can afford it. How can a fist son not travel in class, considering he owns a 11m pound home in UK, his siblings 22 and 25 own $2.5m flats?
We must give him all our support as he under takes the stranious task of going to Kano to play polo with his paddies on our behalf.
Kudos seyi my man.

Israel is the aggressor, the occupier. They should leave Palestinian land and then peace will be in the region. You cannot steal people's land, continuously do that, then place them in a refugee/open air prison ie Gaza, Westbank, control their trade, electricity, borders, food, phone network, internet etc and not expect them to resist.
Israel unfortunately is practising a worst form of apartheid and must be resisted.

Corrinthians:
There's enough space to accommodate you and your brothers and sisters in the East. You may all relocate there. After all, y'all brag about taking your investments back home.

This should be a no brianer. Go home.

I doubt you stay in Lagos, cos if you do, you should know who those markets are dominated by.

pstemma1990:
that's where the service of a lawyer comes in, I am only a shop owner, it's not in my place to know wether the person coming to my shop stole the money he's using to buy things...

That's why I said he should not give them the money back..

Let them come and carry what they bought...

Ok. What you wrote is how things should be done properly. The reality is that every account in the trail will likely be affected. Even in the uk, illicit money enters your account you are likely to have it blocked. My paddy running businesses including money transfer had his business account closed because someone sent illicit money. He had to go to court and won. Another lady went to computer village years back, bought an iPhone from a shop, got receipt. 1 month later Sars trakked her to her office, arrested her, she showed receipt, took them to the shop. Phone seller arrested too. My paddy (foreign based), her relative spent a lot bailing her. They told him to report every other day to their office at huge financial cost. Omo when it started getting out of hand, they both entered plane and japa. 7 years before he visited naija next.
In naija, one does not need such wahala, they know you are innocent, but you will turn to milking cow with threat of jail.

pstemma1990:
They brought in a POS person, the people sent to the Pos agent, and the pos sent to the OP... OP is a shop owner that sells things, and people these days hardly go with cash when buying things worth hundreds of thousands...

They only paid for what they bought.. The only way he will have a case is when he returns the money to them as they are asking...

Look at it this way, I'm selling things let's say car or bike, u came to my shop to buy things, I don't have a POS machine and u don't have cash, then u call a POS person to debit ur account and then credit mine, I wrote a receipt and gave to u....

I don't have any case here...

You make alot of sense. But let me ask you, have you had police case in naija before?

DrGoodman:
Oga, stop smoking naira marley hemp, try Seun kuti own, he's still buying from his father's supplier.

Yoruba started from Igboland, some Igbos who had crossed the Niger migrated to Ile Ife started the yoruba race.
