Family / Re: Re- Should Children Be Their Parents' Retirement Plan? by ogawisdom(m): 2:56pm On Nov 15, 2023
No

Children should not be the retirement benefits of parents. In fact that mentality creates generational poverty.

As you are training your child, also plan for your retirement.

For those who are shallow thinkers, I am not saying don't give your parents or support them at old age, I am saying that parents should not depend on their children totally in old age.

If your child gives you fine if not don't even expect it and make it part of your plans.

Sometimes your child will even depend on you many years after graduation or barely surviving after 15 yrs of graduation.

So it's a huge gamble esp in Nigeria

Car Talk / Re: Nigerians Don't Know How To Use Headlights. by ogawisdom(m): 6:21pm On Nov 12, 2023
Cooolme:
Greetings everyone, I've been driving for over a year now and I've noticed we don't know how to use headlights in this country even my friend that visited from the US complained same thing.
I don't know if it's selfishness or what but how will someone be on very high beam even when opposite an incoming vehicle, I almost entered a ditch because an SUV beamed on my small Corolla to the point I couldn't even see properly, are there rules set for all these in this country?
God's willing if I don't leave this country within the next 2 years I'm getting a bigger vehicle and I will purposely install massive led lights I will be counter beaming people till they notice their mistake.

Ordinary Keke will put light everywhere and oppress a car on the road. It is not funny at all but I have upgraded my light to match them

Family / Re: Can You Develop A Land Your Wife Bought Without Telling You And In Her Name? by ogawisdom(m): 7:54am On Nov 10, 2023
tallfish145:
My wife suddenly presented a non-original transfer of ownership of land brought in her name and in their town claiming it was a surprise. Now as a married man or about to get married, what would be your reaction if such is presented to you? Would you start developing on the land or shun it?
Remember the land was brought in her name and in their town( we are from different state)

It's a simple matter change all title documents to contain the name of both of you or better still buy a plot of land in your name and develop.

Business / Re: I Just Lost 400k by ogawisdom(m): 1:39pm On Nov 04, 2023
Athena6:
Last week I created a thread talking about how my japa plans have been crushed due to the increase in dollar.

Many adviced me to invest in dollar, this was the advice they gave me months ago but I did follow through because I wasn't sure.
My last thread hit front page and 90% of the comments were advising me to invest in dollars, one even quoted that in the past 10 years, the dollar haven't fallen but it increases every year.

One even called me a weak minded person and I am scared to take risks.
After everything I thought to myself, since so many people felt this dollar will keep on rising, maybe I should invest afterall life is all about risks.

Well guess what, dollar have decreased, I invested 3M in buying dollars and now in today exchange rate. I have 2.6M now and I either cash out now or hope it will increase.

Right now, I am very angry.
Those giving me advice should come and contribute the 400k for me o

Another thing, do you think the dollar will increase or should I just cut my loses.
I am so tired 😫

Withdraw your money now

The real crashing is starting on Mon to Fri.

Cut your loses you are naive in forex and was not following the news of CBN paying out billions of USD to people they owed & millions of USD of Abacha loot returned.
The biggest one will be Dangote refinery coming soon hopefully in December.

USD will be less than 700 by Friday. Wait more and have more losses.

I was lucky sha bought at 900 sold at 1175. I could have even sell at 1240 but you can't master the market completely.

Made over 1.2m

If Dangote refinery fails USD will rise again by next month.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: My Boss Only Pays Half Salary, What Can I Do ? by ogawisdom(m): 2:46pm On Nov 01, 2023
Peejayz:
I started teaching at this private school in September. My salary is 10k per month ( I had no choice than to take the job due to alot of challenges I'm facing). My first salary, the man sent 5k (no joke) , I thought it was a mistake from his side , so I went to meet him in his office, he told it wasn't mistake....

I asked him how can I cope with 5k for a month, he said when student pay school fee, he will pay me my balance, I agreed with him ....

Then the next salary came in today , still 5k, I'm so angry and tired at this point... Alot of debt on my head .... 5k can't even clear them , not to talk of what I will use to feed myself.... This is unfair..... I plan to resign... But at this moment, I don't know where I will see money to feed .....

I'm confused at this point, I don't even know what I'm going to do at this point


While you sounded good but what do you bring to the labour market
Education
Experience
Certifications
Skillset
Outside your certificate what else can you do?

10k is quite a wicked pay but let see what you got

Just get a woman with her own regular source of income not necessarily rich. A woman that won't depend on you or expect you to pay her allowance to lazy around.

A woman that wants to work to earn a living not somebody that wants to be taken care of like a child

Most men no dey love with common sense, the dull thing should come back and start afresh.

No matter what if you are going to UK always make sure ur wife is the dependent.

A woman doesn't love they are only loyal if they are benefiting from you.

Rule 1 - Never put your woman ahead of you, she will lose attraction for you n dump ur mumu ass

Usefulsense:
This is my story. Please advice.

I sent my wife to Australia in 2021 on student visa.

She has invited us, myself and our children aged 12 and 9 and our visa is out. I have also paid like 6 months fees for my children school which was a requirement for the visa.

Owing to her performance at her work place, the company she works for has promised to sponsor for PR. Infact, the process just began and we are sure of having the PR.

I am currently 48 and won't be able to support my family working in Nigeria. Wify has encouraged me that we will be fine that abroad is meant for 2 people.

My only constraint is my age, hence my question. If you are in my shoe, will you travel?

By the way, I work for a private firm here in Nigeria and you know what it is working for a family company.

Travel / Re: 5 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Come To The UK Right Now by ogawisdom(m): 1:33am On Aug 29, 2023
uche87:
This piece isn't aimed at discouraging anyone from relocating to the United Kingdom. The country has the 6th largest economy in the world and it offers massive economic opportunities for both the young and old. It is also beautiful and gives maximum exposure to people. But things are changing and they are changing rapidly. You need to be mentally prepared before you get ambushed by harsh reality. Keep the following factors in mind when trying to take the plunge.

(1) Limited job opportunities:
As a fresh immigrant, it takes the grace of God to crack the white-collar job circle. Even if you get white-collar jobs, most of them don't offer visa sponsorships. So, they can't guarantee you any desired visa extensions. To someone who wants to stay back in the UK after studying, what's the point? For the blue-collar sector which apparently admits every willing or unwilling human being available, the jobs are disappearing. You must have heard viral stories of people on healthcare visas not getting shifts. As if this isn't enough, job opportunities are drying up in the less desired warehouses where hard labour is rife. The warehouses constituted the last hope of the common man those days. If you are hoping to gather money to pay your school fees from hustling in the UK, you might need to have a rethink.

(2) 20hrs Work Limitation:
In recent times, there have been strong rumours of student visas being canceled by the Home Office, after the holders failed to stick to the 20-hour work restriction in a week. It is one of the most traumatic experiences an immigrant can face abroad. Imagine you are getting an email that your visa has been cancelled, while you are just settling in, with a huge debt hanging over your head. You might strongly consider detonating a Kim Jong Un-like bomb in your village to annihilate any witch/wizard that might be linked to your predicament.

(3) Housing Crisis:
The housing crisis in the UK is so severe that people now take their house-hunting activities to the NSPPD altar at 7 a.m. It is not just about the exorbitant prices alone, it is about the stiff competition you will face from other applicants. It is as competitive as applying for civil service jobs in Nigeria and India. These so-called accommodations come in the form of "poultry" due to the relatively small sizes. They also come with massive paperwork that could be cumbersome for a new immigrant to satisfy. This isn't the challenge an immigrant wants to face due to its overwhelming nature.

(4) High Cost Of Living:
Living costs constitute a global issue and it is highly multi-factorial in nature. Major cities in the UK like London, Manchester, Sheffield, Bristol, Birmingham, etc., have been hit by mass migration, thereby straining available public facilities. People with permanent jobs are feeling the heat not to talk of the casual workers living from one unassured shift to the other. For a man converting naira to pounds to cater for daily expenditure in the UK, the thoughts of running away, or committing suicide might be crossing his mind, at least 4 times in a day.


(5) Low Chances Of Staying Back:
The chances of international students staying back in the UK after schooling are getting slimmer than the popular Nollywood actress, Lepa Shandy by the day. Before you know it, your 2-year post-study period would have elapsed and you might have to return home. Before now, healthcare visas have come to the rescue. Today, the opportunities have been abused and the forces of demand and supply have also affected sponsorship opportunities in the healthcare line. If you think you can easily marry a citizen to stay back, you might have to buy some anti-depressants, as a backup plan.

In conclusion, the best way to easily scale through these hurdles, and weather the storm might be by owning one of President Tinubu's controversial bullion vans.
