1USD = 1530 today

On Jan 3rd, 2024, I bought more USD at 1230 thinking it was too high. It has been my best financial decision so far in 2024.

Though I have made alot but not happy BC our naira is losing massive value daily.

I went to buy two tyres for my car yesterday and I almost developed deaf ears from the prices quoted

It will get better but we don't know when

Nice2023:
We blended half of it and cooked already...

Ok my bro

Pls ignore that badly raised kid that may still be receiving mama thank ma. The thing is that people radiate their frustration unto everything.

You should have grinded, steamed and turned to paste before freezing to reduce chances of spillage.

Who else noticed that Cameroon keeper conceded goals he should have stopped.

Is he really better than Onana with this performance.

A good goal keeper would have done better

Anyway mistakes produce goals

This is like the strongest Nigerian defence in a long time.

Well done boys

Waiting for our Quarter finals opponent

Nigerian Onana in goal

Uzoho

Osihmen should not play more than 70 mins except he scores, time to try others

Iheanacho
Yusuf
Musa

Still warming bench

Chukwueze will surely come on later

Possible starting XI

AngelicBeing:
Hahaha, l see your post on investment thread, l feel like konking the head of the VC and the governing council of This University for benchmarking the school fees in dollars

My dear they want to kill Naira totally. Imagine if every private university adopts this? Just imagine

Stupid and lawless University

It's illegal to bench mark fees in USD BC everyone will start it if this is allowed.

By the way I hope staff salaries are benchmarked in USD too

Tranquility2345:
You are too dull. The only reason people change to dollars is to keep up with rising costs. Not to live like kings. As the Naira dey fall, costs dey go up. Mugu!

You must be an idiot if you think politicians keep their loot in USD because of inflation. Wetin concern corrupt politician with inflation? Politician own na how e go dey easy to store and transport the loot. Yamayama fall on that your dull bald head there! Lazy youth

Live like a king was figurative but how can you ever understand that when you are a pathological I'd.iot. Anyway I may just be engaging a kid.

No matter the size of hammer 🔨 I use i won't hammer common sense into an idiot comes to mind.

Go and read your incoherent submission and hide your face in shame. Mugu

Kennyswag:
I don't care about dollar because all the money in my accounts is in naira.

Dollar care about you because the spaghetti you bought 800 will soon become 1100 and so about everything imported with dollar that you use.

Jeez black market will get to 2000 with speed.

Everyone should convert their money into USD like the politicians and chill

Tranquility2345:
Live like a king because costs will stay the same as Naira falls to 2000? I feel like giving you serious hot konk on that your bald head

Actually you deserve the knock on your oblong empty skull since you cant understand that the man earning in USD can easily stay afloat inflation. Inflation will not affect him and even a nursery 3 pupil understands why. USD will not stay same too.

All our politicians have their loots in USD and are not bothered about ever rising cost of USD. Infact they are getting richer as a result

Any investment in Naira now is a waste of time.

USD currently at 1425

If you can work in Nigeria and earn at least 1000 USD monthly, you will almost live like a king as USD moves to 2000 with speed.

Chai

Imagine the goats I am sharing same country with

This dumb dude should shut up already

Baztardidiot:
Since Cup started .Nigeria never fit score 5 clean goals. Or even 3 clean goals.

They have 2 clean sheets

As long as we are not conceding easily there is hope. But you are correct, our major problem is inability to score goals.

We may crash out via penalties if it continues

PrinceofSarcasm:
You want to marry her because she is a citizen. That's the main motivation for you ...

So just know it won't be a marriage because this is purely transactional so don't go in there with warped expectations.

Don't go there looking for love because she is just desperate to have a family while you want documents

So don't call this what it is not. This is an arrangement

What nonsense did you type

No human being is capable of unconditional love it's always conditional, we always want something in our mate weather tangible or intangible.

So shut up

Smile4mee01:
I'm a single 39yr old Nigeria guy in diaspora trying to settle down and going to Nigeria to marry is not an option.

I'm an introvert who has been through some childhood trauma in my family and really fear marriage because of what I have seen and how bad it can be sometimes.

However, an old female friend and colleague of mine who we worked together in Nigeria and now in canada recently contacted me and she is also single and not had children. She is doing well for herself and now a citizen there while I'm not. A part of me is concerned about

1. Fertility : I desire children. However, can she have me healthy children @ 39. How many can she have? I discussed us trying for a child , she appears to want a.marriage first. But what gurantees do I have to have children.


Should I be concerned? I dont want to enter one chance.



Please I use God beg you, no insults just advice. Abeg. God bless you.

Marry her she is a citizen already and with advanced medical technology there child bearing should not be an issue.

My only issue would have been marrying an old liability but she is an asset.

Stupid man

Yes

We are struggling to score goals.

There is no point keeping osihmen on the field for 95 mins. He should play 65mins and give way this is knock out stage

Wittyglam:
Have you ever wondered what makes a marriage strong and enduring? Well, it's the emotional connection between partners that forms the bedrock of a long-lasting and fulfilling partnership. It's not just about having a companion, it's about having a profound understanding of each other's feelings, needs, and aspirations.

Cultivating emotional intimacy requires open communication, active listening, and empathy. When you share your joys and vulnerabilities with your partner, it creates a deeper bond that fosters a sense of security and support. And when you face challenges, your emotional connection becomes a resilient anchor that helps you navigate difficulties together.

In short, a strong emotional connection is the heartbeat of a thriving marriage, reinforcing the notion that a successful union is not just about being together but about truly being there for each other no matter what.

Lol I am not surprised coming from a woman. The main thing in marriage is compatibility, money, commitment and understanding.

Why rent an apartment you can't afford to renew?

The girl is just silly

No free food even in free town and one has to be street smart.

Nasri100:
I don’t know why you and Lalastiklala are replying that dumb ass BRATISLAVA or whatever the name is on this topic.

It’s clear these are the people that don’t see anything wrong in giving birth to many kids without a plan to raise them. You can’t afford the next meal yet you are giving birth to 5 kids and one idiot doesn’t see anything wrong in this?

I am bored of impacting common sense into these lots. Nigeria will never get better trust me. These people are the majority.

No matter the size of hammer you use you won't succeed in impacting sense into a pathological fool.

See there is this stupid mentality about having too many children in Africa, they are:

1. Have many children so that if A no make am B or C or D or E or F go make am the poor man believes that having many children increases his chances of breaking free from his generational poverty. If A no marry rich man B go marry rich man is also part of the plans

2. Children are retirement plans of their parents . Parents believe that having many children makes it possible for them to enjoy their retirement as all of them will be sending something home monthly including the in laws for the girls

You will hear something like I am taking care of you so you will take care for me in old age. It's almost like a contract signed and sealed therefore many parents have no other retirement plans but their poor children earning less than 50k monthly.

I have nothing against giving to your parents even when struggling but parents should have retirement plans and don't depend on their children totally as the load won't allow the children to grow financially.

Parents hand over the welfare of their 6 children to the first born who earns 100k monthly making sure his head will never be above poverty line.

These are the reasons why a poor man believes in having many children and they are in the majority as you pointed out.

Poor people have generational poor mentality, habits, believes and lifestyle that is why it looks like curse because everyone in the family follows same pattern until one person takes a different path to change things.

Another disappointing performance

Who are we likely to meet next

Scholace:
i didn't say the family is not suffering from poverty. POVERTY is written all over them, but from OP story even their father's family are completely poor. Don't you think family or generational curse might be affecting them also?

Generational poor decisions, actions and poverty habits not spiritual curse.

Wealth is mostly earned not given. All his problems are that of generational poverty.

Until a member of that family does something drastically different he will not escape the poverty chain in their generation

HBP at 20 years

You are too young for that

Reduce your weight drastically
Reduce salt
Alcohol
Exercise daily.

Check your bp regularly to avoid stroke

Scholace:
I know it's lack of money majorly but family curse maybe part of it.

Nothing like curse, it's purely the crippling effect of poverty.

Poverty can chain a family for several generations until someone breaks it.

If someone sends OP to USA to stay, within 10 years he will banish poverty in their family, then he will know it is not a curse.

Rule 1 - A man from a poor family should not marry early esp when he is not financially independent and should have few (say 2) children when he does.

It's not a curse

Look at the abject poverty setting

Your dad is not financially stable and he married a petty trader. Now as if that is not enough he had 5 children. What is he doing with 5 children. 2 children should have been enough.

Lack of proper planning especially when one is coming from a poverty background will lead to a frustrating and miserable life.

Poverty is deadly and limits people for several generations until someone breaks the chain by doing something different in the family. It takes special talent sometimes to do that like music, football (or a bad boys - yahoo, drugs not advocating this pls).

For Nigeria E no pass Physics or mathematics teacher.

20k per month but readily available in private schools
