BusinessRe: How Do I Stop This Bad Habit? by Offpoint1: 3:26pm On Jul 04, 2024
AbokiWam:
My Salary is a little above #100, 000 naira, My friends know I am working which brings enormous pressure on me, They think it is a high paying job because of the Corporate dressing and all.

I don't Know if it is the hardship from this era, but now 4 out of every phone calls someone receives is usually them asking you to lend them money. Currently self I am skeptical of answering phone calls. Work Colleagues also do not spare you in this regard.

My problem now is I am too soft hearted, Any small story and I am already heading to my bank app to do transfer for,

Beginning of June, money I lent to a total number of 7 different people was running into almost 60,000 naira.
At the start of July, Only two people have paid me back (5000 & 4000)

Because of that I promised myself not to lend anyone money again from my salary, but Just this morning I got a call from someone I know , he was crying to me of his salary being delayed at work.
He pleaded with me to lend him #10,000 which I obliged, Knowing fully well I wont get my money back (He has borrowed 8k from me before without paying back)

I think something is wrong with me, I can even go to loan app to borrow and gift a friend if I don't Have

Same borrowing habit almost ruined my Dad, it destroyed his friendship with a close pal, he borrowed his friend #800,000 back IN 2011 when money still had value, the friend refused paying and that crumbled his business for a while.

My Mom have warned me if I continue, I might experience same.

I really need to change...
If every one should pay me money they have owed me, I would be able to buy honda baby boy
This is a bad habit I need to stop.
Lol, you and me have a lot in common. My brother, it can be draining. I don't know how to turn people in need down, I fit give my last card.
Today's just 4th of July, colleague don dey request for 10k loan already.

Draining part is those you gave are the ones always coming back every month.


Our prayers be sey make God just dey bless everyone

MegaCity but small rain, and the roads turn to Indian Ocean.
Any Igbo man that invests in Lagos more than in the East is a bast@rd!
Though Lagos is prompt to flood always, but today's rain isn't anything close to "Small"

It's a non-stop rain since 4am till now... No break

Did you not see it written in the story that the pilot warned the passengers of up-coming turbulence?
I don't read, I watched videos and no such was mentioned in the clip.
TravelRe: Air Europa: Passenger Trapped In Overhead Bin In Flight Turbulence; Many Injured by Offpoint1: 2:17pm On Jul 02, 2024
No equipment detected that ahead for the pilot to send a seat belt warning? Or they downplay the severity of the turbulence?

FashionRe: Why Are Some Watches Expensive? Do They Provide Other Benefits by Offpoint1: 8:47am On Jun 30, 2024
DeepSight:
There's that, but there's also the matter of brand. If Patek Phillpe spend $1 making a watch, they can still sell it for an absurd price with that name on it. Mankind revels in such idiotic self delusion and narcissistic fraud.
This is the only reason comment I've seen.

There's no way to explain the idiocy in buying things whose cost of production is N10 at the cost of N100, 000
FashionRe: Why Are Some Watches Expensive? Do They Provide Other Benefits by Offpoint1: 8:42am On Jun 30, 2024
Eriggadune:
They are called classic watch and can be passed down to generations. Imagine you getting one expensive watch with limited edition and then passing it down to your grandson. How valuable it’ll be at that moment. It’s more or less like an investment.
Edited* imagrg it’s not always about pride, sometimes it has to do with values.
The lies those feed to money miss road rich folks to eat from their money.


Selling a product whose cost of production is N10, 1k it's devilish act.

grin The urban blueprint of Lagos was a total mess. The most surprising one to me is Lagos Island, you can image there's no drainage system in Lekki, V.I, Banana island and co.
Minutes light downpour and the whole island is flooded.

The entired Lagos state no get water system, not even sure if water cooperation exist in Lagos

She is 5. The first phone is Google pixel 3, the second is Redmi pro whatever ( not a phone person). But this is certainly not a case of she knowing my password.

And I read online it is possible but rare.
Lol, my daughter shared same fingerprint with mine.

I thought it was a phone, but no... Same on fingerprint scanner.

It's rare, but it happens (mine even can unlock with my face recognition)

Lawless country
As days go by a highly respected EFCC have turned to home of rascals.
Breaking into student hostels, hotels and clubs grabbing people’s properties with force.

The main reason this institution was founded is no longer valid as they have diverted into assaulting & grabbing properties from innocent Nigerians.

While billions and trillions are being looted by Nigerian politicians
No worries, na we end SARS... na we go still end dem. Just the matter of time
