Why do we find the most simple things so difficult to accomplish?

skj1377:
Cheating is not cheap. For a married man there is a high cost to cheating. Depending on who your cheating with. Avoidable expenses like additional house rent of like N750k or a car either partial or complete contribution or in some cases a house.
Cheating should be for successful men as they tend to smell nice drive air conditioned house and rent comfortable places for fornication. On the other hand the regular guy earning the regular rat race compensation may not be able to cheat effectively. Cheating is not free and girls are not cheap either, this includes so called good girls.

Guys, When you want to date married women, women who are like 5 to10yrs above in marriage are the most vulnerable to fall into your trap. Many times they crave attention..or are just bored of their husband.
.
It's not gainsay when they say the first 5 to 7 years is the most turbulent in marriage that can break or make a marriage.
.
The story this young woman detailed above is a typical cycle of almost all marriages. The point our OP finds herself, for an average lady, after trying to endure or make things work will just succumb to the pressure of guys out there...and before u say jack..smart bold guys are already pounding her pvssy with all alacrity.. It's natural these days.. especially if you are in the business of chyking/chopping married women. You will know this.
.
It's only a matter of time if nothing is done before this woman starts riding the BBC of a guy who gives her attention and tickle her fancy...Naso e dey start...Nothing new.
.
That's why to me, fidelity in marriage is overrated..cos most times couples have broken their vow long before their significant other realises.
But in her situation, some women will deliberately go out and give in to the advances of their admirer just to kill boredom, depression and feel happy. To hell with marital vows..women do this most times to be Happy. However, the smart ones still find a way to balance home demand by not making it affect the integrity of the marriage...what they do is just flow with the marriage and not stress too much for the attention of their busy husband since he's not ready to be disturbed.
.
In thesame vein, the busy husband most times is also somewhere cheating with a university or polytechnic slayqueen cos he's also bored of her wife....That's the paradox of marriage.
.
You see... cheating on both sides maintains the marriage and happiness of both party codedly. Argue with me all you care...that's the reality..
Meanwhile, the stupid couples when they start the cheating game, they transfer the bottled anger and aggression on their partner which usually cause breakup......While the coded smart ones maintain their marriage and we keep praising and complimenting their marriage as the best thing that ever happened since Adam and Eve.
May God give us wisdom in all we do.

In life there are exceptions. In my experience Jumia is a lot faster than konga in abeokuta.,in fact the official delivery time frame is 100 percent longer than jumia's.Badmouthing somebody's business for flimsy reasons is not good.

Olami83:
Drop your location and i will direct you to an officer in your state who will process it for you within 2days...

The booklets are for sale

Tolexander:
It is a big lie.
Nigerian Immigration is one of the most corrupt agencies in Nigeria

That was because you paid the exact amount for the passport forgetting the real naija factor where you have to pay “extra charges” to collect it.

Odoogu:
when you people will be going at the wrong time.

NEROSKY:
this won't make front page because it hasnt affected seun or nairaland moderator, but no wahala, it will get to everyone doorstep sooner or later

angelfallz:
Which website did you buy the product from China?

Henrymorre:
I remember late last month I was shopping for ups. I went to Jumia and saw 1500watts for 27k, good deal. I placed on order and saw almost 2 weeks to get my item, lol, I just cancelled the order went to a store and bought the item 32k. Got it home that day and started using it..

Babalegba:
Sometimes I despair about the way Nigerians think. It takes years to grow a business and reputation which can be destroyed with a thoughtless post. You should not use one instance to judge a company but use their records over a reasonable period of time to measure their service delivery.I ordered a TV from Jumia express and got it next day in abeokuta. I order from both Jumia and konga and Jumia delivers faster. It all depends on the seller, I ordered a washing machine from Jumia and waited six days but the machine was not despatched so I ordered from Jumia again but with a different seller and got the machine the third day. The previous one which I cancelled came two days later and I rejected it.

BabaOwen:
then make an option for using DHL dey there. So if you get the money, you go use am and if you don't, you use a cheaper alternative.

Jumia has never failed me sha, anyday dem wan deliver e no dey fail.

Maybe nah because I dey live in ikorodu sha

MackIV:
Firstly, you didn't mention the state you are in, only to start castigating the company. Also, if you had gone through the jumia website very well, You'd have seen the their delivery timelines for each region and state in Nigeria.



@ OP answer this question

Thirdly, most customers would give very vague directions/addresses or would put an address and would want item to be delivered elsewhere.

Yes they have their demerits too.

See below

Pious101:
Would u place an order if jumia should charge u the same shipping fee as DHL?

habsydiamond:
I thinks it's better to go shopping physically than employing online shopping apps to do that on ur behalf.. Most of the pictures u see online are always different to what they will deliver.. I ordered for 3 chinos trousers size 34 only for they to deliver three size 34 that are of different size.. Dem dey house nao I no fit wear. Even if I fast for 40days and night I still don't think they would size.... Na only God know the farmer wey dey sew for them atimes

Elvictor:

Newman20:
Well they are right. All those complaining about fuel hike they should bear with us, the sooner we make money and pay off our national debt the better.

You can...
100$ Max per card per month.

So ideally, if you want to buy a product worth $150 , you​have three options.

OPTION 1
1. Wait till last day of the month ,
use your card and fund $100 on your Alipocket .
Then wait till the next day which is new month to fund the remaining $50.
Then when paying, instead of Paying with card, you pay from Alipocket.

OPTION 2
Get two cards,
Fund Alipocket from one, and complete the funding from the second card. Then make purchase from Alipocket.
This one you can complete in a day without waiting till end the month.

Browse how to fund Alipocket.

OPTION 3
go and request a dollar MasterCard. It doesn't have Naira MasterCard restrictions. And it's easy to acquire from GTB. Only that's it's costly.

Go make enquires about the card.

Thanks

I don't think I am even in the position to throw more light cos my few visits to cape Verde were all official duties and I didn't make time to look out for Nigerians residents, the few I saw at the airport, bars, on boat and beaches were yahoo boys on visit (cos by their appearance and loud mouthing you don't need a seer to tell you who they are).
you have mentioned the best option yourself. Visit the island first,then you can have a real life experience about the country then you decide on your next move

gentlebullet:
Getting a resident permit on the island as a Nigerian is very difficult except you have loads of cash to start a business there so you will apply for work permit and then resident permit.
Remember the island's economy is tourism and seafood dependent so the authority is ready to tax you as much as it can.
I don't know about the cost of rent cos I stayed in hotels the few times I visited the island but from the little I know, it's not easy to rent an apartment without documention and getting documention means enough cash cos you will be charged in US dollars.
If you know you have got enough cash, then you can give it a try but if you really want to learn Portuguese, Cape Verde shouldn't be an option for you cos aside the cost, you wouldn't concentrate on learning the language. There are lots of distractions on the island.... The beautiful and friendly women, the beautiful beach, loads of alcohol, plenty english and french speaking visitors,etc will make you lose focus on the language my brother.
If you are really serious able learning Portuguese, your best bet is either Angola or Guninea-Bissau.
Angola will require a visa, the cost of living is high and also flight ticket but you will get to learn pure Portuguese.
Guninea-Bissau is an ecowas country so you won't need a visa, cost of living is very cheap, the country can be accessed by road, it's an underdeveloped country so luxury is scarce there and under such condition, you will learn the language fast cos you will be eager to pick up fast and leave. My 2cents though
The choice is yours Bro CHEERS!

Capeverde:
If you go to the passport office you will notice that alot of people will jet out of Nigeria for alot of reason. Nigeria I know but cape Verde I don't know, so please any one with valid information about CV should please show us the road so those who can't afford the almighty Europe, USA, Australia can at least see some where at least better to survive.
Those on ground let discuss Cabo Verde .

gentlebullet:
I will still maintain my stand which is "expensive is relative"
If you earn in Naira and have not been used to traveling by Air and paying hotel bills in US dollars, then it will look expensive to you when you travel and then yours bills are in dollars given with the current exchange rates as the naira is sick at the moment.
That is why i said you should first check out the price for flight on their website, check out for hotel price on booking.com, check out for cost of food, drinks, boat cruise, etc everything is online.
You can then make a judgement of if you can afford the trip or not. CHEERS
