MrAmbrose: I'm not surprised at all. Youths of these days want fast money, but he's doing quite alright with his Tiktok stuff, he should receive the sense to live a private life.
He won't receive such sense...an average Nigerian would always want to show off once they start having money in their account
officialwdhtv: 'I will personally write a letter to International court of justice on behalf of Bobrisky' - Isaac Fayose says following the removal of the cross dresser from a KLM flight and his subsequent arrest by EFCC officials.
The businessman and brother to former Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, had met Bobrisky at the airport earlier and shared a photo of two of them together before Bobrisky was later arrested.
In Nigeria, mediocrity is highly praised...that's why the International Community doesn't take us serious. For instance, the Binance case....can any Nigerian President do that for a Nigerian knowing fully well that the Nigerian has broken the laws of a foreign country?
Rapmoney: Abeg how do Nigerian guys with multiple girlfriends cope in this present economy?
I see some guys in my area who do not have investments, no landed property, nothing!!! Yet you see them keeping 3 to 4 different girls as girlfriends.
With the high cost of living, how do these guys cope? You will give Kemi money for hair, give Amarachi money for bag, give Eniye money for cream, support Cynthia with money for her birthday!!! Guy, you dey mad?
A cup of beans is N450, house rent has skyrocketed, 1kg of cooking gas is N1400. Jesu!!! Brother Chinedu, abeg sorry for your life nah. Wetin?
That's not a relationship but a poverty alleviation program because once the guy starts meeting her basics needs (of which is expected of an adult to take care of his/her basic needs). It's no more a relationship
marvelck: I dont why when most guys hammer (become wealthy overnight), the first thing they do, is to start carrying women here and there. As if they never had any woman or girlfriend when they were stil hustling....
Most of the times, men see women as objects of pleasure, that's why they carry women when they feel they've the money to catch fun. However, not all men carry women once they're rich because the money is already budgeted for and they've not forgotten the stress in getting it.
ExAngel007: Yahoo boys share their struggle with becoming broke after spending way too much on frivolities
In a series of viral posts on social media, several former "Yahoo Boys" – a term used in Nigeria to describe individuals involved in online fraud – have come forward to share cautionary tales of their experiences with sudden wealth from cryptocurrency gains and other ventures, followed by financial ruin due to reckless spending and lack of proper financial planning.
The revelations, shared on social media by Sir David Onyemaizu, aim to offer lessons on the importance of money management and financial responsibility.
In one post, a man recounts earning $100,000 from Bitcoin trading between 2020 and 2021, only to face financial struggles shortly afterward.
Despite once having up to eight Bitcoins, the individual admits that he now has nothing to show for it. He reflects on the notion that "money not worked for" often leads to wasteful spending, emphasizing the importance of valuing legitimately earned income. “Calculate the price of BTC from 2020 to 2023 October, then you will get the price. 8 BTC ooo,” he writes, reflecting regret over lost opportunities and poor choices.
Another post features a former "Yahoo Boy" who recalls spending lavishly after his sudden rise to wealth, even renting a luxury home in the upscale Lekki area of Lagos. However, by early 2023,reality set in, and with no stable income source, he returned to his hometown. He warns others about the pitfalls of irresponsible spending, noting, "Even the money you invest when reality sets in, you go pull out that investment to settle problems and bills."
The final message comes from an individual who lost his car, home, and relationships due to his financial downturn. After spending most of his newfound wealth in 2021 on hotel stays and luxuries, he now struggles to make ends meet.
Facing eviction, he reflects, “If I see 5k naira in my account like this, I will be so happy to tell the rate at which I’ve suffered.”
Kobojunkie: I don't know answer to number 1 &3 but if he has 500 million litres and he only got the first 4 cargo consignment from the Naira-4-crude about a week ago, it probably means he has not exhausted his imported crude.
As long as the business is shrouded in secrecy, there are things that they're not telling Nigerians and I hope we don't implode the day we get to discover
Telltruth123: My advice to salary earners, I am a graduate of Accounting and I have been working for the past 12 years but presently I don't have any savings. I have made some mistakes during this journey. Below are my advice to salary earners so that you won't live in regrets as I am presently:
1. Save at least 20% of your earnings you can increase it if you have the capacity but it must not be below 20%, you can save it in a co-operative society, I learned that after some few months, they will lend you three times of the money you save with low interest rate.
2.Try and have a business plan, calculate the amount you will need for the business and save towards it, you don't need to leave your work unless it grows to a certain level that can pay 3 times your salary.
3. Don't touch your savings unless for business, it is good to save it where you can't easily access it , co-operative society, bank with instructions on duration etc
4. Don't entrust your business with family members, they don't take it serious, I have bad experience with this and I am regretting it.
5. Don't lend out your savings, people might not return it, I have bad experience with this and I am regretting it.
6. If you are working in a company where you have access to loan, please make use of the opportunity as the interest rate is low invest it in a business, there is no access to loan in my company so I don't have the opportunity..
7. Lastly know that you can't be young for life make sure you have a business running for you so that when the work force is rejecting your age limit, you will have something to fall back on I reject poverty for me and you. Thank you.
Thank you so much...I can also add...ALWAYS HAVE A MONTHLY BUDGET AND STICK TO IT. HAVE AN EMERGENCY ACCOUNT AND A RESERVE ACCOUNT.

we communicate from time to time Life can be unpredictable and things are not going as planned and as a struggling young man I need to survive one way or the other i would really love your inputs and advice on this issue Thanks and God bless
Going back under what condition and why did you leave in the first place?
Gistmedia10: A man’s shocking discovery when he returned home and heard strange noises from one of the bedrooms. Sensing something was amiss, he quietly approached with his phone camera ready, only to find his wife in an intimate act with an unfamiliar man. Remarkably, the husband kept his composure, calmly questioning the man about his presence in their home and his actions with his wife. The intruder, visibly shaken, struggled to explain, while the wife remained unbothered, seemingly unashamed by the situation.
The incident has stirred a lot of reactions online, with users sharing various takes on what they would do in the husband’s place. One commenter wrote, "I’d just push them out of my house quietly—no point risking my life over this."
Many suggested calm approaches, advising that once it’s recorded, the best course of action is to quietly separate rather than reacting in anger. “If it’s your house, ask them to leave. If it’s her house, pack your belongings and leave,” suggested one commenter, while adding that pursuing a peaceful divorce could prevent further issues.
