WHAT AN IRONY OF LIFE?

Do you know that the only tree a monkey cannot climb is the banana tree.

Paradoxically, banana is what monkey likes the most. This implies that anytime banana is found in the hand of a monkey, it is most likely a gift from someone. The question is, why then can't Monkey climb banana tree, but can climb the tallest trees in the forest? Hence, the phrase "Who dash monkey banana?" was coined.

This little analogy is full of divine message to the right thinking human being. In the journey of life, there are several things you like but will never be achieved unless you are given by God Almighty. Therefore, it is not of him that willeth or of him that runneth but of God that showeth Mercy.

May His mercy continue to abide in, and with everyone of us forever.

Good morning, children of God and happy weekend.

Be talking rubbish....
Who said monkeys can't climb banana trees...
Stop exposing your ignorance in a public forum..
So embarrassing

I am very very angry right now. I couldn't sleep last night. That is why I'm bringing this here this morning before I do something very bad. A father should be after the growth of his son and not after ruining him.

Please you guys should help me look into this matter. I understand that it was a matter of life and important concern.

I'm seriously struggling in the city to eck a living for myself and do the little I can for my family also. My father was a petty trader who hardly can provide adequate for the family. Some of us who come from a very poor background would understand this better. I mean coming from where absolutely nothing is kept for you. No support from the family and nothing, nothing and nothing. You are the one who die and same you would have to pour yourself water to come back to life. You, you and only you.

I buy fast consuming products and supply to people and make some gains from there. Sometimes I hawk the products. I was able to save up to N150k. Around May this year, I went to the village and bought some rubbers of palm oil and store them to sell around November/December and make gains.

Last week, I got a call that wind pulled off our house roof in the village. Since they are using small torchlight phone, I didn't get to see how serious the situation was. Even though I didn't have money, I sent N15k to help fix it. My father later called me and complained bitterly on why I sent just 15k, that according to the carpenter, that materials and workmanship would cost N65k. In my mind, I was just like, does this man even know how I survive here in the city?

For two nights, they didnt sleep in the house as the wind pulled off the rooof.

On Tuesday, I learnt my younger brother was being operated of Hernia. I know about the hernia but was under plan to raise money for it. And I knew there was no money to settle medical bills for operation. So I was shocked where they got the money to do operation.

As I traveled down yesterday to see them, dear Nairaland friends, all my rubbers of palm oil has been sold and the money spent on fixing the roof and paying for the medical bills for the hernia operation without my notice.

I am not taking this kindly with my father who engineered the whole thing and I want to arrest him to refund my money.

That is my life investment and it took me so much to raise the amount. Due to how things are now. I even wanted to sell two rubbers to invest back as the business is facing challenges now.

What should I do here to recover my money back? If I have another money, I would over look it but that is my life investment of my labour.

If you're sincere about this... Send me an email.. will reimburse half of that money to you..
It was for a good course..
Remain blessed

How's this news
Imagine I give my sister money and it becomes a big deal...
That's her brother..
No Biggie there

Religion rules.

Civil rules.

Cultural rules.

Societal rules.

Racial rules.

Moral rules.

If Ahmed Yerima had married a man.......France,USA would have been very happy, possibly thrown a party for him.

If Ahmed Yerima had paid and brought home a prostitute.....Amsterdam would not see anything wrong with that.

If Ahmed Yerima had slept with a little boy.....the pope and the Vatican would have looked the other way.

Civil and religious rules in Nigeria and the USA would forever be different.

Not to say what Ahmed Yerima did was right, but would you rather your sister married at 14years old or be a prostitute at 14years.

Importers and exporters quickly come to mind. Those people who usually boast of containers on high sea.

Even in Nigeria, I have stopped buying anything in traffic hold up especially in Lagos because everything is fake including food items. The only item I buy in traffic these days is bottled water and I have to carefully check if it is properly sealed.

Imagine plantain chips fried with a mixture of condemned palm oil and black engine oil. Is that not murder?

you're a bigot even when and where bigotry isn't needed

Nice Cuban.. handcuff come fit this guy like this...

Beremx:
Me I don’t understand the Oniba of Iba, Oba Sulaimon Adeshina aka Jafo. The manner at which his posters litter the whole of Iba and it’s environs, you would think he’s contesting for President. No difference between him and Oluomo. Even the late Oba Goriola Oseni wasn’t really known not until he died. No show of from him.

It is well with Iba people

you read my mind... He wants to become another Jafo...
Jafo pictures is every single place.. God help us

Ive heard them advertise gambling In Lagos,in billboards talking about my name is efe but people dey call me fail fail but as I begin join 1x bet I win so tey I tire. Now them dey call me elfrebo.

Other regions in Nigeria do not allow gambling ads on radio or billboards.

Exactly.. the publicity on it is ridiculous.. It has to stop!! Like right now

@Lalasticlala
@Mynd44

Good day all,
I choose to use this platform to bring the scourge that has the potential to harm people.
Gambling is legal,same as smoking and both gamblers and smokers are liable to die Young
I have struggled with compulsive gambling addiction for 5 years and currently undergoing therapy..
While being clean for 3 months now,media hasn't been easy towards my course as ads of gambling sites pop up with reckless abandon which doesn't help me nor struggling addicts.
Every nook and cranny has a betting shop which is only perculiar to Nigeria.
I feel gambling should be better regulated for the sake of the sanity of our youth.
Thanks

Notice something similar about them all... Tribe...
They made a mistake so it's all good..

None of you complaining actually watched the video...
The contribution was a token and then the pastor made a joke about the ring afterwards..

I'm a liberal person but I find intertribal marriage between the northerners and Igbo awkward!!
The cultural and societal differences is crazy...
Its easy for a northern woman to marry an igbo man but an Igbo woman to northern man; hell NO please!!

soberdrunk:
This is why 'generational wealth" is scarce in Nigeria, the average rich guy will rather acquire liabilities that will massage his ego than assets that will grow the wealth. If he was smart enough to gather all the monies he has used in acquiring those outrageously expensive cars and bought shares in one of those luxury car maker companies, years from now he may even get the car as a gift for being a major shareholder and still be getting returns on his investment......

True, but once you say or mention such, you're tagged hater.. Liabilities ain't investments
