cheesy cheesy if my ex had married me he prolly would do same cos his mom food was on point lol

Based on the size of the groom, you may be right in thinking the mama fed him fat.

But you probably should work on your cooking. Its easy to learn but its such a big deal.

it is embarrassing! grin grin buhari has taken nigeria 50 years back, A British passport takes 2 to 3 weeks to obtain let alone a fuvked up country like nigeria. Nigeria is a big joke!
Eeya! So its Buhari's fault? Nigeria was golden before he arrived?

The huge fall in the price of oil and depleted treasury when he tool over had absolutely nothing to do with the challenges we face in the country?

How old is Britain and how old is Nigeria?

By the way, I did my international passport under Buhari's government about a year ago and it took 2 DAYS. When there is a problem, think of solutions and not just point fingers then go to sleep.

There was obviously a challenge, they have fixed it and you are still shouting Buhari upandawn

he is back again, if I buy a car of 2M and save 50k (from it every week, do you think it's a viable business??
If you save 50k per week. You will have 2.5m in a year. That is return on investment of 125%. The biggest bank would earn approximately 25% at best from loan interest.

The answer should be clear.

By saving 50k, I have assumed you have deducted all relevant costs. And you still have the asset after 1 year.

I have been writing my ebooks, but now going to outsource as I stated in my ebook. That is the way to go.
Thanks.

I would like to start by writing, I can use whatever returns to buy more books. But how soon can I expect to begin to see return? Some say there are too many books on Kindle already.

Approximately, how much do you make from kindle and how many books do you have? This is just so I clarify my expectations.

This is why I said I am a Christian. Theres no scientific proof for what religion explains. So you can choose what you want to believe. Theologians dont agree. Thats true. But his own analysis of the bible is shallow
It would have been refreshing if you were logical
OkunrinMeta:
Is it possible that the message of Jesus Christ, as contained in the new testament, has been diluted as it is passed on from generation to generation and in the compilation of the bible?

Well yes, logically.

So what do we do? we BELIEVE it hasn't been. We can believe everything and know nothing.

We are required to use what is certain, our time on earth, to purchase what we believe, what is uncertain. With the threat that there is eternal punishment from God, whose love is everlasting, if we so much as tell a lie on our last day on earth.

Every known religion asks for this believe at some point. When logic fails. Use the known as currency to purchase the unknown! Everyone can't be right. Most people choose the religion of their fathers. That is much easier than thinking. Whichever you chose, billions are betting with there lives that you are wrong.

Every religion has some sort of punishment for people who do not abide. They cannot all be right and whoever is right, billions would be wrong.

One thing is certain: hell, purgatory, ...whatever its called in your version ...would have more people than heaven and many would be genuinely surprised to end up there.

There is so much we don't know. This i know.

So i choose to believe the things every religion agrees on: It is good to love your neighbour as yourself.

If i end up in hell doing that, i will have billions of neighbours.

The earth isn't the only habitable place for life in the universe. I know at least two more by name, the chumorld and the clumoid. So people who die on earth are reincarnated to the worlds of their choices. I'm sure many wouldn't want a reincarnation back to the earth, just like Adinoi my higher self didn't get reincarnated back here. And in addition to this, there are newcomer souls made into the universe who have never been to any physical world before. This accounts for more birth rate than death rate.
Do you have proof of any of this

Thanks for liking the book. You can start with one book on Fiverr or write it yourself.
If you write , then you can get just the ebook cover from Fiverrr. I advice you do not
skip doing the cover at Fiverr as the guys there can help you succeed.
Thanks bro. I've spent the past one week researching how to set up a significant income stream. I intend to make good use of the knowledge shared and have a book published by weekend.

Question, do you buy or do you write your ebooks. I know its probably better to write as a newbie for cost considerations, but i just want to know what you currently do.

Wait, did you interrogate the bat to know its 'state of origin'?

And what caused the plane crash, was it the weather?

How did the bat know your house address? Maybe google maps sha.

So whats the burial arrangements now? That may be someones grandmother in bat form now. You may need a police report

Very good!I like how you perfectly captured it. That's the point I have been trying to make, if we keep justifying this for that...intolerance will continue. We keep going in circles.

She didn't mention it because it's too sensitive. The man's initial response shows that he knows her annoyance grin

Not jut having a small banana, most likely not open to learn the act of satisfaction with the small banana. Majority of our men are aggressive to banana topics. Lots of married people are sexually frustrated.
Hahahaha. This banana thing hen and sexual frustration has destroyed lots of marriages.. And its a very sensitive topic. It amazing how many disagreements can be prevented with regular, deep, sweet and effective "ministrations". Unfortunately, its a sensitive topic for our brothers and some of our sisters think orgasm is a fashion item, no idea what it means. grin grin

Its clear both of them have excess energy that needs to be appropriated between missionary and helicopter styles. cool

I'm not a little biased, just buying into their logic that there must be a cause for any sort of abuse. The man poured her water because she walked into a house and started insulting him, why did she do that? I would appreciate anyone who can provide an answer to that.



Same way you're trying to convince yourself she is lousy to justify your sentiments.

How did you know she is lousy? Do you know her before?
How did he marry a lousy woman?

Has the husband mentioned past events? He has to do that in her presence, for us to fully understand what's happening in that marriage. A sane woman will never create a scene, will a sane man marry an insane woman and join her in the scene?
If you find something the man did that the wife is reacting to, I can also ask what the woman did to cause the man to do that in the first place. And the circle goes on and on.

There is frequently one cold issue/argument or the other between couples. You should know this from experience. However, one must draw the line somewhere. And i think public humiliation is a good place to draw that line.

Besides, she probably would have mentioned it while insulting him or afterwards when seeking sympathy but it seem the biggest offence the guy committed was having a small banana.

I understand sha. How dare an husband have a small banana and last for only 2 minutes in this period of recession grin These are unforgivable crimes. He should be flogged cool cool

Do you know where the man settled the first one?
This couple obviously have unsettled issues only them know of. See it from your perspective and others will see it from theirs.

Anybody who is humiliated by their partner will find it difficult to succeed. Not only men are allergic to humiliation.
So in your books, the man must have started it right? He must have done something to deserve the public humiliation and provocation? And you don't think you are a little biased.

I think women should always let their intending partners know if they agree with your logic before marriage. So no one is surprised.
FamilyRe: Today's Experience Changed My View On Domestic Violence by OkunrinMeta: 11:46pm On Sep 17, 2017

Oya let me advise you people

Before hutting a woman because she provoked you, think of the damage you could do to her face.. Very ugly to imagine...This should help you keep calm. But if you have to exercise this level of restraint frequently, it is time to leave the relationship/marriage. No forgiveness.

If she physically assaults you, run away, and then sue her for physical assault and then divorce her.

If she attacks you with her hands and you cannot run away... and she is not trained killer grin, enjoy the beating, it is your punishment for marrying a crazy woman. Then sue and divorce her later.

If she does not let you run away and she has a weapon or she is a trained killer, you are safe to assume she wants to kill you. So you have two options: Die or fight back, i know what ill choose. grin grin

I also believe most christains are hypocrites

And finally, i believe that at least a little part of almost every other religion is true, we just have to figure it out ourselves to be qualified to receive commendation and any rewards

I think this is just one persons or a group of peoples opinion on this. I personally dont believe on reincarnation because less people die compared to the number of people being born.
Who will live the life of the excess people since there is a population increase. I think the short story provides a more logical take on reincarnation.
That is a very interesting story. But every story is a story until it is backed by personal experiences and proof.

If a divine timeless being wants me to live the whole of my life in a certain way, he can spare a minute to show me proof in a way that ill understand. My own take.

And how will they arrest NL offenders? This is a faceless forum.

Maybe Seun would have to make it mandatory to link Facebook or Twitter accounts to Nairaland profiles. That's the only way to reduce faceless hate-spitters on NL.
So why cant I create an anonymous facebook account to link to my anonymous NL account?

And

Is there any legal obligation for Seun to change his business model in order to aid incompetent law enforcement agencies? Especially where such change can drive people to competitors who value privacy?

dkingskid:
The issue of resigning 'properly' cannot be over emphasized. My current employers gave me 3 days to assume office and I hadnt dropped any prior notice at my previous place of work. I had to resign effective immediately, forfeiting a month's salary anyway, but of course it ddn't go down well with them. I got a formal letter stating that my resignation wasn't accepted and I would be denied any recommendations in the future.

Good thing was my present employers ddn't bother abt this when i showed them the letter, (just in case they decide to perform a bad ground check at any point in time).I was made to understand that the position was an entry level position, and as such it was assumed I had never worked anywhere. Fair enough money, but now I can't put the experiemce in my cv, cos u can never tell which company will conduct a background check. Naso 1 year work experience waste.

The truth is, no employer likes an effective immediately resignation, despite the forfeiture of one's salary. Appropriate time is expected to be given for a proper handover of all documents to the firm and for the firm to hire a replacement. So it's not impossible for one to get a bad recommendation from such employers when the need arises. In the big 4s, u must drop a month's notice as an associate and from senior level, 3 months. U no even get choice.

But then there's really nothing anyone can do about it, the FBN job is an entry level job, so we are not expected to have worked anywhere, hence the short notice (which is still not right anyways), but na naija we dey, so we not gats accept am like that.
I understand how we have to be "realistic". One can only be impressed if first bank gives like 3 months notice. But ....what is right is right.

So maybe i owe someone an apology.

But before that, let me ask you, if the experience at the place you resigned was 2-3 years, would you have acted the-same way? Should you now have to pull thesame stunt to join first bank and how would you explain the gapS in your CV if you do?

Don't mind him,I'm not sure he's worked in a properly structured place where every item in your employment contract is implemented. When resigning from my last job,I had to give two weeks notice despite not owing them a dime.Your employer needs time to find a suitable replacement for you and probably audit your accounts/activities depending on the nature of your job.So,you just can't leave unannounced or on a very short notice.Just refer to your employment letter or ask around if anyone has had to leave on a very short notice.Never rule out your new employer having to ask for reference from your old/last employer.
No mind the guy. And he is still quoting me as if he is making sense.

In lots of places, an unconfirmed staff needs to give 1 month notice, and a confirmed staff must give 3 months notice or pay instead of notice. These are conditions stated in signed and valid employment letters which i am sure a number of first bank applicants have signed with there current employers. These are the kind of terms we would sign with first bank if employed.

Maybe the guy has only worked in a cyber cafe.

What annoys me is the confidence with which people spread wrong information on NL.
