There are many options in the market now. Your consumption is low. Hence, I believe the itel power tank is okay for you. Just get a good solar panel like Jinko to charge it. Just ensure the solar panel watt is far above the solar tank.

You are still in early 2000s....It does not cost up to that. In fact, certain packages are not even up to a million.

I decided to change how I safe my extra income or passive savings to aggressively invest the extras in ETF, stocks, bonds, stocks, index fund or even crypto rather than leaving it in my in bank for friction interests from the bank. My goal was to see the growth in terms of gains compared to the bank. I am glad I took this step because I’m more happier today with the returns. My returns was almost 8-15% for every 1200€ invested. I have learned financial discipline via this process and ways to earn passive income.

Which app or bank did you use to invest? Can we invest from Nigeria?

It has been 2 years and she hasn't moved out! But she is enjoying them. Sometimes I will call and notice she is home early. In the past she would stay at work until 9pm to enjoy AC and watch TV. Weekends she would rush out again.

This is 2025, if you want to move out, there are declutter pages to sell off your whole property in 24hrs. I had people that wanted to buy my things, they were even disturbing me. Na me no gree sell.

Minimalism is not sleeping with a mattress on the floor while giving money to men and relatives. That is not minimalism!

I am with you on this. That is what I intended to do by creating this post. But apparently it didn't get the traction I'd have liked.

The silence is deafening from Piggyvest, that's why it looks like a scam to me. How do they hold unto people's money for so long and are so relaxed about it? Like the investors have no idea of what is going on with their money. And their defense is that it was subtly mentioned to seek advice before investing. So we are automatically at fault for investing?
At least in the case of MMM, it was clearly stated that you should only invest money you are willing to part ways with. So to me, that wasn't a scam.

So, if you have any suggestions on how to go about this solidarity call...I'm all in.

good evening Karleb, you are one of the guys I look at to draw inspiration and motivation from. Big fan of your leetcode consistency.

About getting job, I to spam folks on Reddit like those guys who beg on nairaland (not annoyingly sha), I see a conversation I think i can contribute in, I do that and at the end, I promote myself and what I can do.

Also, if I find someone with an agency or someone who says something that points that they're a company executive, I cold message them and promote myself, However, it's a number game, and I am not getting paid their minimum wage but a fair compensation for my skill level.

CandyOps:
I like their natural instincts. A woman's instincts is rarely wrong. She walks into a room and can sense who gives off the wrong energy, who you should avoid and who you should bond with all in a minute.

I also like how carefree they are around a man they love. They don't even seem to be aware of their environment and are usually somewhat vulnerable trusting all their care and ability to think to their man.

Lol

Nothing. I have a very low opinion of women.

I love that

Why are homophobes so scared of homosexuals?

I need matured advice. (Long read)

My husband has become like a thorn in my flesh.

When we got married, we were sharing responsibilities and financial contribution like 60:40; I take the bulk because I earn more. The goal was that I would support until it gets to a point where he was earning more to take up more responsibility. I don’t complain about money, if I asks and he says he doesn’t have, I don’t ask again. Over time, I don’t ask, he just uses his initiative to drop whatever he has. Whether its N60k or 90k per 3 months as income increases, I don’t bother.

He gives me issues on money problem, he wants us to save jointly, I refused. The reason for this is because in the course of this marriage journey, we have both really hurt each other. I am not the type that talks too much, but when he gets me angry, I would vomit words that is unpalatable as a result of piled up anger. When he starts with his arguments, most times I go silent. But he starts poking me to talk. In some cases, I tell him that if I open my mouth to talk, he would not like what would come out of it, but then he starts dragging me on the cloth, leg or anywhere he can grab me saying I must say what is on my mind, just so I would respond. Sometimes he starts to insult my parents, siblings, etc.

He looks for every reason to quarrel. If I tell him that I am very tired and not in the mood for sex, the next day, he would wait till 6.25am and tell me that henceforth I have to start prepping the children for school, I leave for work by 6.30am. Meanwhile I have been up since 4am, cooking and arranging the children’s things. My kids stay for afterschool and so I have to cook what they would eat till evening. Then later in the evening, he would tell me he wants sex. Truth be told and I think he also knows that sex is more of a moral obligation for me, so that he won’t have something to accuse me of. During sex, I remember all the hurtful words and messages he has sent to me while in the office, and I just can’t wait for it to end.

In May this year, he told me that because my brother told him 3 years ago, that he doesn’t know why I am still with him, that I should have left as I can take care of myself and don’t need him, therefore he would no longer contribute money for food. I said nothing. Since that time I have been taking care of feeding. Before now I do part feeding, children’s school, children’s lesson, children transport to school, cleaner, hospital bills, etc. He takes care of rent and electricity. At some point, I was doing electricity and lawma but I had to stylishly push that to him.

I don’t have a problem if we share these things with mutual agreement, but each time we have an argument, he reneges and uses the kids to start punishing me, putting my job in jeopardy, insulting my parents as much as picking up the phone to insult my mother just to make me react, locks me outside when I tell him that the decision he took on something has caused an issue. These days I don’t express my feelings about anything, whether I like it or not, because if I say I am not happy with how things are, I would most likely get a call in the office and if I don’t respond because I know it is to harass me and mess up with my mental state, when I get back from work, the doors would be locked since he comes before me.

I have begged to hire a nanny (I would pay for it and he knows that); all I need was approval, but it has been denied. I begged for 3 years to have someone come in to clean the house on weekends. He is the one doing it but the complaint was too much. Eventually he agreed to have someone come in on weekends, but if we have disagreements (not quarrel o), he would stop the person from coming, so that I would do it myself.

My family don’t like him, I have been told several times to leave him. But he is an amazing father, my children adore their dad and love him. Leaving him would also affect them, but my mental state is in tatters.

I am a very private person but since I married him, he has reported me to every pastor I know, and when I am asked and I lay my own side of the story, he quarrels with the pastors for not taking sides with him and we have to change church. I have told him that if he reports me to anyone, I won’t honour it because it’s become one too many. Are we the only ones who cannot seem to manage our problems? And I am done hopping from one church to the other.

His family members have waded in, and he gives me like one month and we are back to square one. I am tired and frustrated. I told him all I wanted from him was peace of mind. My mother’s mantra raising us was if your husband does not do it, then you do it. Don’t wait for any man to do anything for you. As girls, we were not raised to be dependent. My mother hates it. So we don’t usually ask husbands for money, we expect that husbands would do what is right and if they don’t, we take it up and do it.

So I don’t wait for him to do anything, I do it or provide the money to do it, and I have told him I won’t enter into a joint savings with him where he has the full control. This year alone, I have been locked out of the house up to 6 times, if I save money with him, it means when he locks the door, I would be stranded.

Please how do I navigate this? When he locked me out of the house 3 years ago, I had to rent a place to stay. Mind you, the house we live in now, was the house I rented when I left because it was far better than our previous accommodation. For almost one year I was away with the children, he didn’t pay them any visits, didn’t ask to see them, occasionally he calls to talk to them, but he didn’t see them, and my kids were broken. They need that stability and I am so afraid of denying them that fatherly love (maybe because I lacked it in my childhood and it affected me badly). The only thing holding me here is my children. But God knows I am tired, frustrated, bitterness is growing in me at a rapid rate.

I think it should. I actually used their prepaid USD card to verify the account. Then I linked the account to my wise account and was able to withdraw. Everything was going fine until I started receiving money back to back that's when PayPal restriced the account.

Okay dear, is my Gmail account. You can send me a mail there.

And thanks for your reaction to my comment. The foolery that goes on in Nigeria may be shocking to the devil himself.

Keaton:
Okay, that's fine by me, ma 🙌

Keaton:
How much are they paying you? How much is your soul worth? I'm asking because I want to buy it. I know it must be cheap, because Nigerian politicians don't rate their citizens so I'm guessing it must be less than N50,000. That's around $30, right? I will pay you $50 a month to tell the truth, how about that? That's money for 2 meals here, it should be worth your soul for 1 month over there in naija.

Keaton:
What about, bruv?
