There's a large scarcity of lower denomination of naira notes. Talk of five naira, 10 naira, 20 naira it's like they have been decommissioned altogether or are produced at very low quantities

Good evening fellow Nairalanders.

Something happened today that has really made me question myself as a man, and I sincerely need honest advice from mature minds here.

Earlier today, my younger one went to the field to play football. After some time, he came back home crying seriously with blood rushing from his head. According to him, he had an altercation with someone much bigger than him, and the person picked up a stick and hit him on the head.

Immediately, I became angry and asked him to take me to the field to identify the person that injured him. Deep down, I was expecting myself to react aggressively because I felt any normal man would naturally defend his younger one and confront the person strongly.

When we got there and I saw the guy, something happened to me. Instead of fighting or causing a serious scene, I just started asking questions about what happened. I couldn’t bring myself to react violently or aggressively the way many people probably would have. I eventually carried my younger one and went back home.

Since then, I have been feeling ashamed and disappointed in myself.

The painful part is that this is not the first time I have noticed this about myself. I always seem to avoid problems, confrontations, or situations that may escalate. Even when I am angry, I still start thinking about consequences, expenses, police issues, public embarrassment, injuries, and other complications that may arise if things get out of hand.

Because of this, I often withdraw instead of standing my ground fully.

Now I am beginning to feel like I am too timid and not confrontational enough as a man should be. Sometimes I feel weak, powerless, and unable to command respect the way other men do. I see some people react boldly in difficult situations while I keep overthinking consequences and avoiding escalation.

Honestly, it is affecting the way I see myself.

Please, I need sincere advice from experienced people here:

- How can someone stop being too timid or fearful?
- How do you become more confident and confrontational when necessary?
- How do you stand your ground as a man without always retreating?
- Is this kind of behavior weakness, or is there another way to look at it?
- What practical things can I start doing to become mentally stronger and more assertive?

I would genuinely appreciate honest advice, especially from men who may have struggled with similar issues before overcoming them.

Dear men,

If the cost of loving a girl is higher than your cost of living, be wise and leave her for someone who can afford her cost of living, or she may be your cost of dying. If you must maintain anything as a man, let it be your money, not your honey, and your business, not your sweetness, or it may lead to your weakness.

Yes, eating out once a month is romantic. But when you have to eat out everyday, it becomes problematic and could make you erratic. You only owe a duty of financial care to your wife. Any woman who demands that of you may affect how far you go in life.

Is Your Salary Keeping Up?
Ever feel like your paycheck vanishes before the month even ends? You aren't imagining it; the cost of living is hitting record highs across the globe. From the luxury streets of Monaco to the tech hubs of the US, the price of simply "existing" varies wildly.
Which of these numbers shocks you the most?
Could you imagine spending nearly $7k a month just to cover the basics in Monaco? Or does seeing the US and UK sitting so close together change your perspective on moving abroad?

Some youngsters have been spreading fake news about Tony Elumelu and part of the fake news was that there was a rift between Tony Elumelu and Aliko Dangote.

The youngsters were recently arrested and the elder sister of one of them is pleading for her brother. She said that he is 18 years old, just wrote JAMB and that she had already made him to apologise for his post before he was arrested.
