1.8 million naira in a cartoon, assuming it's a thousand naira denomination would be suspiciously heavy.Story is plausible but false.Specious!!
I suspect u have not seen that much cash in your life before. (Na joke oooo). But The difference in weight won't be much compared to the real indomie

joey150:
But, But, why was 1.8 million naira inside an indomie carton in the first place? grin

On second thought....

Was the indomie carton sealed or not? How can a sealed indomie carton have 1.8 million naira in it?

Again, if it wasn't sealed, why would anybody buy indomie in an unsealed carton?

Even if it was unsealed, did the seller not check the content at all throughout the transaction?

Let's pretend the seller was careless, did the buyer not bother for one second to look into the unsealed indomie carton before walking away from the store?

I'm just one of those people that like to question everything they hear.
ok let me educate u on why this is possible.
Traders in busy markets that are not so secure often hide their cash proceeds for the day among the goods before closing for the day. It is a common practice. No one would think of looking for money to steal among cartons of indomie. It is even less conspicuous if the carton is re-sealed to make it look intact.
It is possible the trader hid it the day before but his assistant opened the shop the following day and started selling before he came.

Romance / Re: I Think This Girl Is A Player/Gold Digger, What Should I Do? by obstead200(m): 5:55pm On Jun 20, 2020
Oyindamolah:
One of my friends from college dated a girl for a few years. He was rich and he suspected the girlfriend was a gold digger. People believed that she had actually dumped her previous boyfriend when she found this current one - because the current boyfriend was richer.

So he tried a few things (not all of them were designed to test her but some were):

(1) He stopped taking her to expensive restaurants and took her to “dhabas” or just regular restaurants instead. This was in India, many years ago. A “dhaba” is a roadside restaurant with seats in the open. Not the most upscale place. The guy personally did not mind eating at regular places. He wasn't a typical show-off. He liked doing a lot of regular stuff. She had a major problem with this.

(2) He took her to a cheap circus show.

(3) He took her on a backpacking trip to Europe. Earlier he always made her stay at the best and most expensive hotels. This time, they stayed at inexpensive hostels. This wasn't really a test. The guy actually liked backpacking trips where he could stay at hostels and meet a lot of “real” people.

(4) She always demanded that he buy business class tickets for them. He started buying economy. He personally didn't mind flying economy so much. But the girl got very agitated with the idea of having to fly economy and not having lounge access.

(5) He used to give her very expensive presents earlier. He'd already bought her a car and the latest cell phone (this was in the era before smartphones). He gradually shifted to gifts that were more “personalized” and less expensive - collages of their photos together, poetry that he'd written for her etc. She didnt care for those things.

(6) She used him to further her career. She'd ask him to make a referral to all the companies where he had great contacts. She'd get in to these companies without much of an interview (the boy’s dad who was very well-connected usually pulled strings to make this happen….he was a super generous guy). The girl always left the jobs within a few months. She just wouldn't last anywhere. The guy stopped making those referrals. The girl threw a huge fit.

(7) The last thing he did was the truest test. He told her he doesn't want his father’s wealth and he wants to build his own career without his dad’s assistance. He won't accept anything from his father. The guy was actually pretty good at his studies and in my opinion, was capable of building a career of his own. But quite obviously, she didn't want to take that chance. She didn't have the patience to wait around till he built his career from scratch. She left him a few days after he told her this.

The guy is now very happy and is married to a very sensible and self-made young lady.

Properties / Re: What Is Your Worst Experience With A Landlord Or Landlady? by obstead200(m): 2:00am On Jun 11, 2020
konkonbilo:
I just rented a flat last week, didn't know that they put on water only once a day and the water finishes after 30min or 1hr the most. I'm really angry now because have paid and packed in after suffering searching for house over a month and wasted alot of money on agent dues and transporting different agent from one location to another. When I was showned the house they assured me there's water and it was locked from the back.. When I complained the landlady said I should go buy drum that even her uses drum for storage of water. Though the rooms of the house are big, that was what attracted me that atleast I could use for my work as well. But that baggage de disturb me and the gate is been locked so early.
this one is ok Na. Most houses do this. If u don't, tenant will use running water to damage Ur house very fast. U will pack soakaway pit tire.

I know some landlords are unreasonable. But men, tenants can be horrible, just because they paid rent so they can damage the house. Student tenants are the worst

the only thing that caught my eyes is LUTH refused to administer PEP because u are pressing charges.

My dear, this story is either completely false, or u are a born liar, or u are a dunce, with no idea of how to go about issues properly.

A govt hospital cannot refuse to administer PEP just because the police is involved. It is the biggest lie of the century.

Education / Re: I Have Been Withdrawn From Medical School. I Can't Tell My Parents by obstead200(m): 10:06pm On Jun 03, 2020
Amotolongbo:
@dear OP, Sagna112

I’m writing to you as someone who had passed through this kind of experience before. Mine was worse than yours. I will share the experience with you

Inform your parents on what is happening, they can’t beat or rebuke you

I was admitted to study pharmacy in 2006 at the great citadel, Obafemi Awolowo University. After my first session, I had 4 carryovers. Not as if I wasn’t serious or very dull, things just went in the way I didn’t understand.
I summoned courage and repeated the first year, taking only the 4 courses. I passed all and proceeded to 200level.
I repeated 200level and had to take all the courses again in my fourth year at the university. After the fourth year, I passed the courses though with resit in two courses. I promoted to 300level for the fifth year.
I repeated 300level and had to take all the courses in 300level in my 6th year at the university.

Finally, the worse came after my 6th year in OAU pharmacy school, it was a withdraw from the faculty of pharmacy to other faculty.
I wept and felt so bad as if that was the end of my life. Every thought in me had elements of suicide in it. But my parents were so aware, I called my mum who was at work immediately my course mate notified me of my fate. Dad had known earlier that day before me through one of our lecturers.

My parents stood by me and made sure I was happy and supported me financially, physically and spiritually until I was able to change my department to Geography in the faculty of Social Sciences.

I’m a Geography department graduate now and on a verge of being a registered Surveyor and I feel more happy and fulfilled than being a pharmacist

Being withdrawn from the medical school is not the end of life. There are billions of opportunities in other fields.

Please notify your parents now. They will know later, but they will feel more disappointed then than now.
I am so sorry. But I just can't resist sounding cynical on Ur case.
If u no know book, there are departments u just can't survive in. All Ur parents money can't keep u there. After passing WAEC and JAMB thru special centre and all that, u think u can still come into some departments and continue that way....... E no go work.

One advise: spare no expense to educate Ur kids properly. Don't allow them to cut corners in their early education. When they get to university level, they would have been academically toughened to take the stress

Wyloutproperty:


You are sick. Didn't you hear she complained to other passengers and even an officer of the law. They all failed her. The best she could have done is what she did. Keep calm and collect evidence. She could have been the only female there, and it could have gone the Indian bus rape way if she insisted on raising dust at the moment. Don't let me curse you m
u are not smart at all.
If u were, u would have realised she ONLY complained after calmly watching the man grope her while she videos and gathers evidence. That is stupid. Her way no pure and those people she complained to realised her impure intentions and ignored her.

A pure person with good intentions will be immediately too mortified at the first attempt to grope her and will quickly raise alarm or at least complain loudly to embarrass the man.
Crime / Re: Lady Travelling From Abuja To Akure In A Taxi Molested By Man. Sparks Reactions by obstead200(m): 12:18pm On Jun 02, 2020
Dunno what to say sha. But what kind of drama queen will keep watching a man grope her just so she could get video evidence? Is she a LovePeddler?
Why not just give him a blow to the face or ribs, he will behave.
But she rather chose to capture a video of her own groping for over minute.

Final verdict......her way no pure. She is an attention seeker.

Fine, apologize to her for raising up your hands on her explaining to her that it wasn't intentional that it was out of provocation and calmly tell her that you can't do more than you're already doing presently, so you advise her to spend her money the way she deem fit, afterall, it's her money.
I don't know why people over react to issues. Except the OP has other issues he is not telling us. If not, the solution is simple. Just apologize for hitting her. Then give her the marching orders: if u can't live within the means I have provided for u, there are 2 choices. Either u provide the rest urself or u get the f*CK outta my house- without Ur daughter ooo. If I catch u cheating just to meet up, u will still get the f*CK outta my house.
Sense will just come to her Naturally. Despite all those stupid friends of hers, she can never be deceived about the need to remain married to a good man and have a stable family life. She won't be foolish enough to be a divorcee over something she can avoid. If she decides to leave and marry another man, then know she was never meant for u initially.

She said could not feed her own mouth talkless of feeding the baby. But she still went ahead to make the baby where CD of N100 could have saved the day. Sister, call a spade a spade , there is no single justification for her actions. She's purely a greedy fellow influenced by making quick money from the sale of the baby.
If she has not been caught, definitely she will make another baby ,so she can continue to make quick cash. Simple
at the bolded, that assumption of yours was far fetched and simply stupid.

Frankly, I think the girl did the right thing, in the circumstances.
She made the mistake of getting pregnant. The deed was already done. She has 2 choices, either to abort it or to keep it. If she keeps it, she can't cater for it. So she made the only fair choice, give it out to someone to cater for it. It is illegal to collect money for doing so. But let's be pragmatic here. That is the best decision in her circumstances

I notice that most migrant families in these countries have their relationships stressed a lot. The pent up frustration is just too much. I probably has to of with the economic difficulties they face in everyday life, the problem of adjusting to a new way of life and the feeling of being caged in.

Nigerians must learn to live with this virus, lockdown is not working and it can't work.

Am sorry to say, this covid is not going anytime soon, the better we think of another way outside lockdown, the better for us.




To those of you shouting lockdown. Consider this:

1. We just finish a month lockdown, and with this, so many people have lost their job, many business has fold up etc. Those business that are struggling to come back now, what wil happen to them, if we go back to lockdown.

2. Do u really think the Lockdown can be effective with no palliatives? Thier is no way u can keep people at home without food, most people survive with daily hustle, u can't feed them, yet u tie them.

3. One million boys, awawa boys etc wil come back with full force, then everyone will start keeping vigils, no food, no sleep, when will death we are running away from,won't eventually come?

4. I am sure the number of cases won't decrease with lockdown, this I am sure of, we will lose the economy, and increase number of confirm cases, double loss.

Everybody should protect themselves, wear face mast, use sanitizer/wash your hands, avoided crowded area and take other precautionary measures. Learn to live with the virus.

This shit ain't going anytime soon.
