Family / Re: Consequences Of Having Many Children In A Bad Economy? by obstead200(m): 6:58am On Jul 24, 2023
ibechris:
Having many children in a bad economy can lead to various consequences, including:

1. Financial strain: A bad economy often implies limited job opportunities, lower wages, and increased unemployment rates. Raising a large family in such circumstances can impose a significant financial burden on parents, as they struggle to meet basic needs like food, clothing, education, healthcare, and housing for every child.

2. Limited resources: With a bad economy, resources become scarce, and families with many children may struggle to provide adequate resources for each child. This can result in compromises on education, healthcare, and extracurricular activities, affecting the overall development and opportunities available to the children.

3. Increased poverty: Raising many children in a bad economy can push families into poverty or exacerbate their existing poverty. Poverty affects the quality of life of both parents and children, leading to inadequate nutrition, lack of access to healthcare, housing instability, and limited opportunities for upward social mobility.

4. Limited future prospects: In a bad economy, parents may struggle to save money for their children's future needs, such as college expenses or starting a career. This can limit the opportunities available to the children and hinder their ability to break out of the cycle of poverty in the long term.

5. Education challenges: A bad economy often impacts the education sector, leading to budget cuts, reduced resources, and overcrowded classrooms. Children from large families may face difficulties in accessing quality education due to limited financial and academic support, potentially affecting their future prospects.

6. Strained emotional well-being: Financial stress and the inability to provide for all children's needs can lead to increased parental stress and tensions within the family. Children may also experience higher stress levels due to the lack of resources, witnessing their parents' struggles, or feeling neglected or overlooked.

7. Limited parental time and attention: Raising many children demands substantial time and attention from parents. In a bad economy, where parents may need to dedicate more time to work or multiple jobs to make ends meet, the ability to provide individual attention, support, and guidance to every child may be compromised.

It's important to note that these consequences can vary depending on factors such as the specific economic conditions, the social support available, and the resilience and adaptability of both parents and children.
This is why I wholeheartedly support safe and regulated abortion. No child should be brought into the world to suffer. It is not his fault say Una Bleep and sperm and egg got fertilized. Don't include the child in the mess u created

Just send him back to God let him come back another time to another couple ready for him/her.

Anyone who gives birth to more than two children in this economy is heartless ...
tell them ooo.

3 men living in my street, none of them are middle class ooo...but they are competing to have as many kids are possible.
My first child is older than all their kids but they already have 5 kids each.

While it took serious persuasion to get me to father a third child because my wife wanted a girl child at all cost.

I am comfortably middle class so caring for them is not a challenge.....but the economy is beginning to bite harder

Education / Re: Naira Devaluation: Nigerian Students Face Tough Times In UK,Tuition Soars By 60% by obstead200(m): 11:35am On Jul 13, 2023
ogododo:


https://punchng.com/naira-devaluation-nigerian-students-face-tough-times-in-uk-tuition-soars-by-60/?amp
many of these foreign students are the cause of their problem. They are deeply involved in round triping.
They will earn pounds from their work, send the pounds to Nigeria and have it converted to naira at black market rate. Then they will raise form A to apply for FX at official rate to pay their fees, thereby making humongous profit. Now most of them are trapped since they probably sold the pounds at N850/ Β£1 and now have to buy it back at N990/ Β£1 to pay their fees.

Business / Re: I Want To Arrest My Father For Selling My Palm Oil by obstead200(m): 4:51pm On Jul 11, 2023
budaatum:
No police would arrest your father for saving your brother and for fixing your family home. They'd in fact see you as a bad and irresponsible child who yourself should be arrested, and you'd forever have a bad name in the community for having your father arrested.

You seem angry that your "father was a petty trader who hardly can provide adequate for the family", but you don't sound pleased that your father was not an armed robber who stole to provide you with lots. And that just shows the poverty of your mind, which you should consider rectifying pretty soon.
I actually understand him. Extreme poverty and suffering does things to one's brain.
That's the reason why he feels so bad about the issue.
I pray God should bless him richly. He will think back at this moment and just laugh

Everything you said should be true, but not every truth should be said.

All this guy did was announce to the world that he is a looser. Yes people will clap for you for been a virgin man, but humans are more primordial in thought than civilised.

What people would see is a low value man that cannot score, hence, skillfully leveraging his lack of women as a virtue. It's like an aboki that hawks kolanut with shorts and singlets comparing himself with Zuckerberg because he jog with shorts and singlet.

Men and women are different. Women may score moral and value point for being a virgin, but as a man, even if you are a virgin (which is good by the way), just shut up. You don't have to say it. Celebrate yourself in private and move on.

chatinent:
I think we are uncreative as a people to an extent. Not the majority but a significant minority. Whenever a trend comes to the limelight, everyone will begin to do it. That was how Mark Angel began using Emanuella for his skits and before you knew it, the whole streets turned to be skit makers...some even started using little kids too... I mean, following the same pattern!

My neighbor was hopping mad on this trend. He became the new comedian yet to be known carrying his ring-lights upandan. I am not a discouraging fellow...in fact, even in nonsense, I'll still encourage you. I believe sth good can come out of anything.

He misdeemed it for being his big fan and asked me to share his clips on all my platforms, even though I don't even do that with my own personal videos. It was like he was barking up the wrong tree and got his feathers ruffled when I didn't comply.

Alright, alright, chief, I made up my mind to check out the video and share it. In fact, I shared the video and decided to watch it on my profile wall. Could you believe this guy made a video where he used Gulder Lager beer and swallowed it with fufu? Like repeatedly like trying so hard to be funny?Damn. Wtf! Even idiot no go laugh at this naw! I don already post the video..na speed I go delete am. What nonsense! You wan puncture my reputation?

Some of you emulate these skit makers who you feel became rich with skits! Lol. None of them popular you know today became rich with skit making! I mean none. Some just needed the skit-making for coverups. You need to stop also believing everything you see online. Be you, everyone else is taken.

Same with this Guinness Record thingy. Everyone now wants to break an existing record since Hilda did it with the kitchen.

Even if you feel like copying sb or that person is your role model, do sth different. For example, Mark Angel was copying some online jokes but did it his way. You can copy your role model and do sth new! Why discover when you can invent?!


It's just like those niccurs saying we should join their forum they created exactly like Nairaland. Why'd anyone want to dump Nairaland for a duplicate? You'll always be a second opinion naw!

Romance / Re: How can my sister politely refuse the sexual advances of a married lecturer. by obstead200(m): 10:55pm On May 23, 2023
manee2:
I really can't give the best advice to my 24-year-old sister struggling with the frustrations of a married professor in his late 40s who wants to have a sexual affair with her.

The lecturer handles two different courses, each having a three-credit load and she is afraid of being failed for not complying with his sexual advances.

Having given many excuses for not meeting up for a date and refusing his gifts, tonight I found her crying after talking to him over the phone and it seems he is upset about the whole situation.

With due respect, I think your sister is not academically sound. That is why she is worried.
She probably gave the lecturer initial green light and gained some academic favours in return. Now she does not know how to vomit what she has swallowed.

Simple advice.......most lecturers, no matter how randy they are, will never fail a student who truly deserve to pass. Especially the senior lecturers and the professors. No professor will want to be faulted If an answer script must be re-marked.
Such situation can potentially damage their credibility and call their learning to question so they avoid it like a plague.


Let her just read her books very very very well.....then read it yet again. Let her do all assignments, buy all the required textbooks and generally leave no stone unturned. If she passes, the lecturer has no choice but to pass her.

Advice her to steer clear of anyone she has no intention of dating.... especially lecturers. She shud not act in a way that suggests she wants to be friendly, she shud NEVER ask for favours, she shud just keep away and mind her business in future.

By the way, I am a lecturer, so I think I understand my colleagues.

Recently met this single lady of one. Been the one footing her bills and sending her daughter (5yrs old) to school. She told me She wouldn't let us have sex until she sees I'm committed and reality love her. Although, that's not the reason I'm talking care of her daughter, I just naturally love to spend for people I care about. Just recently, she's wanting to know how much I give my mom and why I'm the one sending her money when she has a shop and making her money.

Yesterday, she told me I don't love her enough. That, if I can open a shop for my mom , then I can do more for her. But I wasn't the one that opened the shop for her, I just supported her.

Now, we had sex for the first time last month and has been denying me sex since then. Yesterday, she came around and I initiated sex, she denied. She told me if we're ever gonna be together, I should learn how to be a man. In her world, being a man involve me cooking, laundry, take her out, and clean. I told her that's cool. But I don't know what a woman will be doing in a House if she's not working while I'm the one footing her bills. If I ask her this, she would get angry.

My fellow men, why are the requirements for sex getting on the increase these Days? Is that they way it's supposed to be?
