thunder74: The additional N350,000 added to the rent is likely to be for Agency, Agreement and refundable deposit. Now that he has given them his house without agreement and caution, hope he will not complain if something is damaged tomorrow? Secondly, whenever there is any trouble with the tenant, hope he will also not call the agent to intervene? The truth is that the additional fees are for the professionals he engaged or how does he intend to pay for the services of the Agent that brought the tenant and the lawyer that will prepare the agreement? The caution deposit is for a security that the landlord will keep to be refunded whenever the tenant is moving out if nothing is damaged. Unless you don’t stay in Nigeria, agent business ends once house is rented or sold, my guess is you mistake it for lawyer/house caretaker. Let’s commend the landlord, it’s not easy seeing good people these days |

matify83: The problem is not increasing the quantity of naira bills you take home but the fact that would 200K translate to a Living wage when implemented?
After paying the 200k, what happens if a bag of rice costs 100k?
I foresee inflation making nonsense the expected gains from this wage increase. The monies that would be chasing fewer goods and services would be monumental. You are the only person that atleast understand primary economics |

Eriokanmi: True. Renewed hope is here. A dollar hit 1,250 in their very eyes but they're keeping quiet. They've succeeded in destroying our economy all in the name of propaganda. I thought they said 250 naira to 1usd was very bad when Jonathan was in power.
The song they now sing is that, Nigeria can't continue to be import-dependent after They've destroyed everything, as if we were exporting much when naira was strong. Cfa has overtaken the naira, can't believe it. If you have 1k naira, na 529 cefa you go get in exchange.
They're not looking into corruption and excesses under this administration but saying its because we import much that caused naira to weaken.
Nothing much should be expected from a country where corrupt individuals are at the helms, where the law makers are the highest paid in the world, where one single person is stealing over 100bn naira and he remains untouchable.
Jonathan remains the weakest president ever lived. If I were him, I'd have treated their fuckups during those series of protests back then. He just allowed them to come in and destroy our economy. See those who are supposed to develop Nigeria and uphold her future leaving Nigeria in droves. Many of them may never come back again. I hope our future politicians are learning from Jonathan, the clueless and weak one. Worst is that they tag you a wailer for saying the truth |

Urbaninspire: So the other time,I came to share how I lost a job offer because of a health issue,I want to thank everyone who reached out to me sending positively, prayers and advise.one pastor even offered to pray with me me.I truly appreciate all the kind gestures.
That incident made me seek treatment.
when I lost that opportunity I was thinking how will it take time to get a better offer because I haven't got such offer in a very long time but life goes on,I kept applying day and night even got some invites that didn't work out, some that will say we will get back to you but you but you go wait tire.
Being a job seeker in the present time is really draining.
So when I got an invite,I was like hope it will not be like others,I was even tired of going physical interview, luckily this particular one everything was virtual,all stages, company owned by a neighboring African company,at a point I was kind of sceptical like is this really real but guess what it is real......I got job and the pay is the highest I have since after graduation 10 years yes yes!70k more over the one I lost.God is truly faithful.

Career › Re: With My 450k Salary Am Not Still At Ease. by nonstan(m): 10:10pm On Jul 08, 2023 |
Sirmuel1: 450k is huge, especially in this country.
My advice is for you to learn how to save.
Cut down your expenses, don’t spend recklessly, don’t compete with co-workers and don’t try to impress anybody (including women).
Rent an affordable apartment, start up a business.
(Don’t start building any house immediately, because it’s a liability). It will only tie your wealth in one spot.
Imagine building a house with 30-50m in Lagos, only to get at least 2m yearly as a rent. How long will it take to get back the capital
You just said it as it is, If I have 20mill now, its to save 15mill in dollars and the remain in naira
A House is a long term investment + retirement plan.
Start a business first! |

Family › Re: I Want To Peacefully Divorce My Husband by nonstan(m): 8:24am On Mar 03, 2022 |
loosingfaith519: I recently discovered my husband has an addiction and I can't stay married to him. As soon as money enters his hand, he starts funding some online app and start gambling. We got married last year Nov. We have needs and plans we agreed to achieve before the end of March. Which a better accommodation is one of our first goal. Our present accommodation is not ok at all. On my own part, I'm saving to meet up with our Target, but I discovered, he has nothing. He collected contributions last month, over 200k. All that money wasted. He can't account for it. January salary has entered, he has started wasting it again.
I'm expecting him to provide 300k at the end of this month. So, that when I sum it with mine, we can have over 600k. Get a decent accommodation and invest the rest. We need to plan, save for our baby, but his attitude with money is not encouraging me. The truth is, my husband is stressing me for lack of accountability.
Pls, how do I go about a peaceful divorce? I'm confused, because I'm pregnant.
All the things I'm seeing him do, suffocate me. What do I do? Pls, advise me. Hi Dear, I feel your pain but don’t take the easy route of running away from your problem, I won’t blame you for not noticing during courtship, love is blind. But what’s the guarantee that the next person won’t have another issue or maybe a womanizer. Stop running away, get him help by means of counseling and also let him have another addiction like online studies or something. Lastly, move out of that estate because he needs a change of environment and that will help him loose some negative friends. My point here is for you to not just give up because of small issue.. it means you can’t deal with marriage |

Aloof: A broke man may never be able to stop gambling.
A steady source of reasonable income gives gambling a natural death. Imagine staking to win 50k that almost never comes,when you earn over 500k monthly.
Brokenness keeps the gambling fire burning. You said it all |
Family › Re: Help: My Brother Is Addicted To Gambling by nonstan(m): 9:11pm On Feb 21, 2022 |
Boogiebee: My brother is 17 and addicted to gambling. This addiction has cost us so much as a family especially my widowed mum.
He is constantly selling things and using money meant for his rent, upkeep, etc to gamble. Just last week he used his laptop to gamble. We have used tough love and right now we have exhausted all options to make him stop.
Like every other addiction if we are not proactive I'm afraid this will ruin him.
Additional Information: He's currently a 200L student of a federal uni but ever since he gained admission it has been one problem or the other caused by gambling. I'm thinking of withdrawing him and put him in a juvenile home if everything else fails.
I need practical solutions and advice on how to make him stop. If you are a recovered gambler please share what helped you. The day I borrowed money from loan app was the day I stopped. I also moved out of the Neighborhood, got new cycle of friends. To stop an addiction you need another addiction. Your brother needs to discover his hidden talent or something else to give him money. Online skill etc |
