[b]Shut up, you dunce.

Nigeria then was a feeding tap to the British treasury, which, in case your dumb head doesn't realise, was the whole reason for colonialism in the first place - to LOOT your resources and enrich the colonist's homeland.

That is why at the time this picture was taken, there wasn't a single university or power plant in Nigeria, despite the British having ruled for half a century, while extracting and exporting your resources.

It was why literacy was under 10% (compared to 70% today courtesy of black rule and investment in public education.).
you
So your ''relevance'' then was as a slave nation feeding Britain and nothing else.

Mumu generation. Don't go and learn your history.[/b]you to like talk. Just shutup and pass Mr

That is why no tribe in Nigeria love or like you the igbos, because you naturally hate all other tribes in Nigeria

Is learning a skill really important?

So, 4 years ago I wrote why learning a skill outside your university degree is really important, you can read about it here https://talk2bella.com/2017/07/04/why-every-nigerian-lady-must-learn-a-skill/. well, dem say who no go no know hahahahaha, Naija hard sha, e hard die, e hard pieces kudos to anyone out there holding it down because if you fit make am for naija trust me you can make it anywhere.

During my NYSC I enrolled in a fashion school to keep busy and also plan for the future incase the labor market wasn’t kind to me at least make I get backup plan ba? Anyway, I sha learn the work and I was lucky before I finished NYSC job came. The easiest job to get for a fresh graduate is always sales job and the purpose of this is to toughen you up for the real world.

Truth is sales is an interesting career building type of job, it will mould you for the real world and if you succeed in sales trust me you can succeed in any management position, its dynamism is unique. Anyway, I did sales for years and trust me when I sale ko easy mehn because Jehovah built me to be chubby, but I was just looking like pankere everyday of my life, I became a bonny structure and got massively addicted to coffee, I made money o I wont lie, but did I have the time to spend this money? No, I didn’t. sales shaped me, moulded me, gave me experience I wouldn’t have gotten if I had gotten a different job, I networked and engaged in training others as well, it built my confidence but at the end of the day I noticed I was becoming stagnant, I was doing the same thing over and over and over again, I was gaining experience in just one field without diversifying and then I decided to change career.

I have done things sha in the name of hustle, I have drastically changed from 4 years ago to today, it’s not about coming to the internet to make mouth, demean others and be a motivational speaker but I am here to still remind you that things are hard, and it might not get better soon, things are o but people still de cash out.

Let’s focus on the topic of this content mbok, I learnt fashion designing but I haven’t used it for a day, the plan is to make money and one day diversify where I open a fashion hub and outsource it to professionals. I have the knowledge already because I learnt this a while ago, but I do not have a passion for it, so it is really important if you’re going to learn a skill let it be something you really have a passion for cos this country will humble you.

Understanding Data: I honestly cannot deny that understanding and interpreting data is one of the best skills to acquire, I am currently on this path as my new career is focused on growth marketing which encompasses both digital and T-shaped marketing and this has to do a lot with collating, analyzing and Interpreting data. Truth is you do not need to be an expert in this field, having basic knowledge will get you the audience you desire and from there you can grow.

Photography/Videography/Cinematography and Graphics Design: trust me when I say professional photo and videographers are cashing out constantly, like waaaaaaaaaht. Not our olden days photographers o that we see at weddings who come to ask to snap you for like 500 Naira or so. For years now the Nigeria music and movie industry has boomed and is booming, and you can testify to the quality of contents that is coming out of the industry. TY Bello, Clarence Peters and their colleagues make a ton of money providing their services, it is important you know that they have been in the game for a long time and now they’re reaping their earned rewards. Being a Graphics designer in this era and being good at it is a testimony because if you play your cards well your works will speak for you both locally and internationally. Advertising agencies, small businesses, big businesses, freelancing gigs, just name it is going to be at your beck and call, but no be beans o because you need to put in the hours to be an expert in this field.

Digital Marketing: see ehn, concerning this level I no need to even de write epistle onto this matter, the koko be say anyone can be a digital marketer, anyone can do 1+1 and run ads on Facebook, Google, Twitter etc and cash out. There are tons of materials online to learn freely from it is one skill you don’t have to spend much money acquiring maybe just internet money and have a smart phone. Digital Marketing is complex and delves all the way to growth, performance, content, creative, email marketing etc so pick a niche and decide which one you’d like to excel in.

Fashion Designing/Makeup and Hair: I love has dynamic this skill has become over the years, growing up and visiting a tailor was gender specific, my brother visited a male tailor while my mum and myself visited a female one. Most of then sew just for their gender and weren’t even willing to experiment or go out of their comfort zone, but you see this life ehn, it is all about constant growth and we can see a lot of that growth in the fashion industry. Some male fashion designers even sew better than women in the industry, it is no more gender based and we see a lot of these people cashing out, dear naija yoot what are ye waiting for?

Makeup and Hair is another money-making skill I’d advise anyone to go into, wig making is a booming Industry and you know the funny thing? There’s this funny stereotype that a man or woman who ventures into the opposite gender’s trade will excel more than that gender e.g a man making hair for women, makeup etc will do better than a woman in that field, is this true?

Side Hustle: lol abeg make una leave me because to me side hustle is a skill, not everyone can combine 8-5 and still manage a side business. There are a lot of side hustles one can go into and the WWW has helped a lot of people start up and even prosper, a colleague told me a story of how his friend earned 30M in one day from Dropshipping my mouth dropped and spit was just drooling from the side hahahahah. Immediately I built an e-commerce store and started mini-importation shaperly. I made money o I wont lie, I am an experienced digital marketer, so it was easy for me to run ads to promote my business. I spoke to a colleague and good friend Abimbola who was into dropshipping and she put me through, gave me her contacts in China and voila I was making money until covid and dollar happened, I waited a while and decided to put a hold on it and go for my MBA in Marketing.

This writeup is about skills that are easily accessible and learnable, and I haven’t even covered half of it. There are tons of skills to learn that’s not about coding, app development, UX/UI because even me sef no get brain for this kain skills and I know not everyone can learn it, 1+1 de give me headache I no fit learn plenty coding abegi.

No kind hustle wey I never put my hand for, I don even do Tigernut Milk de supply people sef and we all know how having another source of income is very important in this economy. Salary no de reach person again, cost of foodstuffs don increase massively, Nepa bills don turn extortion and these days person gats de budget for self-protection because of herdsmen and bandits.

Learn these skills to supplement your income, but if your salary de shake your bank account every week with positive vibrations, guy you no need am just de enjoy you salary de go.

Do you see where the problem is.. The international Scene that believes the Austrian theory is being debunked by you. You see.. Everyone is saying one thing you say they are wrong.

Even if we share a certain culture, it still doesn't count. The tradition of origin of origin of a certain people has been set. People who call themselves Igbos in anioma are too lazy to do reaseraches. It will be detrimental to them when the day comes and they chose Igbos Instaef of self identity. They will rue that day. They should be careful. And think whose side they are on and where they really came from.

wildikeman:
Na wa o... Na by force. She just wanted to please you o. Go and tell the onichaugbo people and the agbor people and okpanam people that they are ibos and get the insulin of your life.


Look. I gave you an example with the Austrians. Now you say they aren't the same. How? Why not tell the people of Dahomey (present day Benin Republic) that they are Yorubas?


There's no thinking about anything. Read and reason. We both have a different tradition of origin and aren't Igbos. Please we aren't Igbos.

NovusHomo:
Report who to who?. You mean to tell me that some folks still live a kind of life where women are treated like property?. Sorry, we don't do that in my own family. Some fools tried it but they were cut to size. Guess what, its always the never-do-well members of the family who try it. They all need to get a life.

wildikeman:
See the nonsense spewing from the brain of a real dimwit. What's different in the swiss and Austrian theory?? And which Deltan is claiming igbo?? You wish. Oga no be by force. Bugger off

NovusHomo:
I reacted to the post. Their family dynamics is not my problem.

NoToPile:


If you understand the dynamics of marriage ehn, you will also understand that you can eventually become the bad guy instead of her should such scenario happen.

All these can be avoided if guests respect themselves and respect their brothers wives but no they won't and some women no send you at all.


That aside



My mum always told me that if I want to receive favor from the man that has only a wife, I should never fight with his wife.

My cousins don't respect my cousins wife they even transferred the hate to their children. Imagine a 17 year old child talking badly about a woman that should be in her late 40s. They will go to her house and start commanding even went as far as saying its their late mother ( my mums sister ) that is supposed to be enjoying what she is enjoying .Na she kill their mama?

When she had her last born about 12yrs back,they went for naming and expected her to be at their beck and call, serving them up and down. One of my other cousins( not from their own mother) was even telling them to help may, they said lailai ooo he should come and carry their hands.

Me I kuku dey go their house respect myself, despite they have house help I will show up for kitchen and ask what are we eating etc. she likes me ehn, when I was still in school after my cousin settle me with cash she sef will give me cash, . Always asking when I will come visit. When I got married she played a very active role, when I had my baby nko she made sure she got to my place despite the distance.


Till date she and her husband siblings are just enduring themselves, my mum had always asked them what did she do to you people? No answer.They just hate her I think.
I think her offence was she married their brother and these my cousins are married women ooo not that they even live together with my cousin and his wife.

The day she broke down and told me she didn't know what she did to her husband siblings that when they were still in a rented apartment they were all fine, she said her problem started when they moved to their own home that was when they started frustrating her. I couldn't say anything because I know its true.

My cousins even accused my mum of going to this our wife's house that what is she going to do there blablabla. Mumsie said its you people that will never respect yourself, You hate your brothers wife you want me to hate her too kolewerk.

When in-laws want to be troublesome they will defy all forms of reason, these ones are my blood cousins oppressing their brothers wife for no reason we have talked and talked they should change their ways lailai they no gree.


Sometimes I wish she was someone like the OP who will show them small pepper just small like this.

When you carry that our brothers house mentality to act to his wife you are brewing trouble and the end result depends on the temperament of the wife. The OPs bros wife no send anybody.

There is nothing wicked in what you have said. It is just the fruit of the seed that she sowed

pocohantas:
One would think I am a jobless dumb orphan who can’t fight for what she contributed to. Too much Nigerian film is affecting you. You must be an EBSU student like the OP.

Do you also know that how you respect your brother’s wife would determine how you all live happily? Learn that first. You all keep yapping about respect when the OP has the effrontery to exchange words with his brother’s wife in her matrimonial home. Maybe that was how your uncles talked to your mother’s while you were kids, hence the normalization.



Like they are dealing with the OP faaa!

Charlie2020:
A male friend visited you (you're probably a female)

You entered her kitchen without her permission and cooked for your male

She sensibly did not interrogate you until your male friend left

She probably did not confront you then after but you probably was rude or discourteous to her and she threw you out.

If what I narrated above was as it happened, she'll defeat you in any court 100%.

wildikeman:
so


So Austrians and people of Swiss identity are Germans... You guys are fools. I tell them boldly outside I am not igbo..


Get lost and go carry your drugs jare. At least that's what you Jewish wannabes are known for. Even the Jews don't want igbo nkaku smellos

pocohantas:
Naso. Channels TV reporter...

OP, ngwanu, carry your bag on your head and go report to Umunna.

pocohantas:
Take him in na. Let him squat with you, abi this una solidarity end for here?

You saw the woman’s siblings dishing food, but you refused to see them HAPPILY washing her car and running errands for her. Which I am sure if she sends you, you will open your mouth waaaaa and say she wants to turn you to houseboy. Wives family come to serve, husbands family come to be served, because it is “MY BROTHER’S HOUSE”.

Newsflash: your brother is not the one keeping the home running. Yes, he drops cash, but he can’t turn that cash to comfort. So, you all must learn to submit to the person that makes the house conducive for in-laws and visitors. Know this and know peace.




Yawns! Same old boring and stale rhetorics. You guys can do better in 2021. Eish!!!

NovusHomo:
Yes. You are not married to him. Get a life. What the heck is this: "a male friend visited, and I went to the kitchen to cook and serve him", in someone else's home?. Who do you think you are?. I guess you now know where the hatred is coming from. If it is true that you and your brother struggled for everything he owns, then ask him for a share of the product of that struggle. Let that lady enjoy her marriage. Get the f**k out of her home.

Afrikween:
a grown up man like you shame you do not have..at your age and you are still squatting in your brothers place...you have no right i repeat no right....it is her husbands house, it is her home, do not be the spoiler of things..leave that home and locate your own place period.

pocohantas:
I don’t give a single fck about how you view my post- wise or not. Will you dash me money or give me a 7-digit job? So, please choke on it when it doesn’t appeal to you. I made no assumptions, they are right there in his opening post.

Respect is reciprocal. If OP wants it, he should give it. You expecting anything different is what is actually incredibly stupid and hypocritical.
