Hello, I didn't see your email so I sent mine. Could you please check your spam thanks

Slimkkkk:
Thank God I got my Samsung phone directly from Samsung south Korea
Have been using it since 3yrs now no single issue, the battery still last like mad n am even a heavy user
Even the charger too never spoil at all, the inner wire has 3layers

Abeg how did you buy it and get it here?

Well I checked and he was born in Nigeria and moved to France at age 3.

So it doesn't really make sense that his parents reduced his age back then, unless he entered France with no papers and then eventually they got papers and that's when they reduced his age (before you could tear up your passport and claim refugee status and even lie about the country you're coming from, that's what Nico Williams parents did). Maybe he is really 19 years old....maybe

He reminds me of Diomande: it looks like the new method is to reduce age by 1 or 2 years, so it won't be too egregious.

ruggedtimi:
Every where don blur.....billionaires club. But she has to come online to drop all these like it will change the mind of the kidnappers.

It must have been annoying her for years, his lifestyle.

Really wealthy people don't like their children flaunting openly for social media. "You didnt achieve this by yourself, so why is your voice loud" sort of mentality

I'm confused to see and hear some things o.

Why is your wife fighting her sister-in-law to the point of not wanting your son to bond with his Uncle and Aunt? This behaviour is how you have people growing up and hating relatives and fighting when someone dies.

And I am 99% sure that when everyone tables the matter that is causing this friction, it will be so nonsense, petty and not a big deal. But it will cause Generational Warfare because the devil is a bad devil and hates family.

Ambitious27, you see all these people encouraging you to cut off your family and make new friends, abeg block them.

When the chips are down, na friend dey disappear first. Especially in Obodo Abroad. You think anyone you meet in adulthood will love you like family that has seen you finish and can handle you?

Call your brother and his wife and your wife. Both brothers should strongly agree: "Family is Family, Ladies please settle this matter". Tell each of them that if their husbands die, his brother will save them better than anyone else. And then leave them alone to speak OPENLY to each other. If your SiL calls you for info your wife has, put her on speaker and tell your wife to answer it. hian!

They don't have to be besties but there should be cordial relationship.

What we want to avoid is a point where you're taking your wife's side and your brother is taking his wife's side. So even though you're not fighting, the fight will spread to you and in 5 years' time you won't precisely be able to pinpoint why you and your brother are no longer close but just accept it as the new normal.

Nothing gets destroyed overnight, it's small trickles like this that turn into a stream and then an ocean of resentment over what is usually a very easily resolvable matter if people truly put pride aside and be humble.

TheStoriesOfMan:
Hmm. Na who dey listen to bad advice na him go suffer am.

They will never make it look like bad advice, it will always look "well meaning"

But somehow the marriage will pack up, the man will even stop listening to his family and only listening to his "friends" and the new woman.

When he's old, he'll come back because by then he's spent years regretting and has developed bad habits he cannot shake.

Polygamy or remarriage

It's only by God's grace my siblings and I are not at each other's throats.

My mum had to swallow a lot of madness just to protect us, including accepting the children of a woman who hated her and wanted to replace her (with the help of some of my father's relatives, who thought my mum was the "enemy" stopping them from fully enjoying their Uncle's wealth. They learned the hard way sha). In the end, my dad regretted it all.

Following bad friends.

Once you make money as a man, so many bad friends will show up just to eat. They're like locusts they don't care about you. Become a Minister or Commissioner and watch how men who has no problem with your wife suddenly start pointing out her flaws and inviting you to hang out with them and other women. Men foolishly fall into this honeypot trap, make those women their side chics and have no idea that the women and the man's friends planned it to siphon his money.

A man, Ogbe, from our village has no skills and no education but built a hotel and used village meeting to enter the circles of all the rich men from my village. He would invite them to his hotel and supply them with girlfriends. The girls were all told to date the rich men and chop well but make sure they always put in a good word for Ogbe. Ogbe will then ask the men to give him govt contracts and all sorts of private contracts (the girls will be manipulating their sugar daddies to do so and if you didn't comply Ogbe will chase the girls away). That's how Ogbe built houses in Lagos and my village.

Ogbe didn't care the marriages and lives he destroyed, he just wanted to get wealthy and men were stu*pid enough to trust him.

This is a true story, everyone hated that man and wives would warn their husbands but Nigerian men and pride would never listen.

Till this day, even in our generation, there are guys who still do this thing. Dem plenty for Abuja

Lekki is the scariest place for these boys and you'll even see teenagers amongst them, harassing you if you're walking and chasing cars like mad

martinskelly:
I heard a saying which goes thus;

The football industry have all types of girls that want a taste of kings.

Be guided.

Not just Football, Basketball, American Football.

If Cricket stars earned more money and were in the UK and USA, you would see blonde white women suddenly falling in "love" with Indian and Pakistani men.

YoshihideSuga:
Vasectomy solves the problem. Why are these Black men not adopting it? Having children with different women is one hell of a stress, if it's not in an organised setting as Islam stipulates.

Black men love and value their "amu" because the world only values their physical attributes and not their mental ones. They'd rather perish than do vasectomy.

Diamond098454:
Why are they pregnanting all these ladies without getting married to them?

Getting pregnant for a man that's not ready to marry you

Women, especially White women target Black athletes like mad. She's in her 30s and he's 22.

White girls in the US will literally avoid Black men but once they identify a young Black athlete, before he even signs ro get professional, her Trump-loving family will be supporting her to date him. You'll never see anyone in their family be friends with another Black person all their lives but him.

Everyone keeps warning them but time after time, the Black athletes never hear word and will fall prey to these women. The cunning ones aim for marriage, a kid and then divorce. It's literally a lifetime paycheck for these women

It was so bad, the NBA association in the US had to give talks to young athletes about insisting on flushing their condo*ms after encounters with them.

Why I rate Dembele, Saka and Salah: those ones went to African women (who, contrary to what Naija men think, are less likely to pull this stunt).

Rayjay45:
Same Nigeria wey minimum wage na 70k?

You guys are so deluded.

Agent will still take a cut and whoever introduced the surrogate to agent will take their own separate cut.

Plus pregnancy is very high risk: so many complications can develop after that will lead to hospital issues for months or years. And this doesn't say anything about aftercare.

Girls who sell their eggs ar getting exploited badly, so this will also be exploited

Eriokanmi:
I'm telling you and I doubt any EU nation harbouring them will help in their release. They're still young and can represent them in any tournament. Most of the EU population is also ageing

It depends on the country. Ethiopians are not known to be exceptionally talented at Football, Long distance running yes. The EU is ageing but Sweden and all the other countries are tired of taking in foreign brown immigrants, even the talented brown and black kids born in those countries are still getting insulted (Spanish journalists and Spaniards don't ever let Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams rest, even after winning WC for them).

This was a bad idea, they should have tried to move legally if they had enough talent.

dominique:
Hey. Sorry for going off topic. I just sent you a mail on the email address on your profile. Kindly respond

Hello, I've done so

Samantha125:
Zimbabweans also swore to boycott SA artists from their Zim festival in the UK, but to my surprise, the artists still went ahead and performed at their festival this past weekend and Zimbabweans were even busy singing word for word to their songs...

Can you guys really boycott SA or you're just keyboard warriors?🤔🤔🤔

Tyla is big but Nigeria has the biggest musical stars in Africa and even outside. Black diaspora outside of America will pick Burna Boy over Tyla (most people outside of the USA don't know more than 2 Tyla songs) and Black Americans are turning on her because they refuse to understand her not calling herself "Black".

The biggest song globally right now is a duet that has Burna Boy.

Zimbabwe has no visible musical talent.

If Nigerians choose to boycott, they will, pretty easily. Even Ghana can boycott her.

Speak to a lawyer asap. That's the only person that can advise you. Try and get an experienced lawyer in this kind of matter, not someone with a website, nice pictures looking to chop your money fruitlessly.

Maybe you can appeal this.

KaptainRobin:
Racism will always exist because ignorance can never finish in the human race.

The stupidest thing is that Moroccans are always crying that Spaniards and Germans and Europeans are always being racist to them, calling them "monkeys" and "n**gers" but turn around to call their fellow Africans the same thing.

I've never seen groundnut leaves and I don't know what ogbono tree looks like, or shea nut tree

The wife and her father built this man. He should pay

I dislike it but I haven't tasted it since my childhood so maybe I should try it again

Luckysbab:
Some observations though:

1) Cross-River isn't in the Eastern region, as wrongly cited by the long essay.

2) The women seem to be enjoying some material benefits from the support of external donors. In that light, why can't they empower the youths whom they are chasing out of the timber business with another economically rewarding alternative?

Because it's not their job to provide jobs and economic opportunities for the youth.

That's the job of the Governor of Cross River state and the President of Nigeria.

Cross River state has the oldest Rainforest in Africa and one of the largest. If the youth destroy it today, there will be no farmlands for their children in 20 years' time. Those same youth will move to the already overcrowded cities.

The youth should push for more tourism ao they can get employed in hospitality businesses.

Africans need to stop eating their future in the present and start thinking longterm.

Kaczynski:
The goal is not who out earns who. A typical wagie out earns but a good trade man also outearns if he's good at what he does and tradesman won't clock in 6 and leave 6,they have lots of options and are free to do whatever the fsuck they want.
Elon musk literally quit school to start a whole new industry. The silicon valley is built entirely on dropouts.

College haven't made anything equal, there is a massive inequality bridge in nigeria between the so called elites and poors.

You think sitting at a desk job does nothing to your body and mindset. Most wagies have gotten so ill from carpal syndrome, obesity, diabetes.

Trades build one up, gives you knowledge that you can teach your kid. How many nigerian kid grew up with their father teaching them stuffs?? Daddy goes to work and comes back tired typical dude is typical in every home.

The goal isn’t to glorify trades, it’s to create value. To build industries that export something other than oil and scams. To invest in education so that the next generation isn’t stuck in a cycle of being wagie and so dependent on the system that without a salary or wage you are truly fubared in the rectal hole.


Education is not just going to classes or enrolling in uni. You don't need sitting in classes and listening to some guy who has no practical experience outside of academia. The internet has made education very cheap and accesible. I can learn a skill like welding , get tools and produce stuffs like a bicycle with scrap materials from my apartment in some village in ogun state.

It's better to be a trade man not the serfs than a wagie. Just learn skill online, get tools and test it out what you learnt.


The unemployment is because we produce too little and consume too much. Imports are way more than exports. China has taken and cheapened manufacturing.

Like I said before, this is my industry. I understand the value of Education.

You can go online and learn how to weld and make a bicycle.
My brother (with degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautical and Additive Production) will design a bike that is sleek, have very efficient parts that can be produced anywhere, smart features.
He'll make millions patenting his design and selling it to companies.
Maybe one of those companies will hire you, a welder, ro make the bicycle for a couple of thousands of Naira.

That's the difference between Trades and Education.

Now, I understand the Nigerian Education system has failed so most students are learning obsolete stuff (though I believe certain private universities are doing much better and their students keep getting into the top of the industries). But that doesn't make Education nonsense.

As for Elon Musk and Bill Gates being dropouts, that's like me saying my child passed her entrance exams into top private secondary schools this year without a lesson teacher (which is true). But I won't tell you she spent the last year preparing for them with a UK-based Education specialist with school tutoring and was using textbooks most kids in Nigeria don't have access to.

Don't compare the dropout kids from wealthy homes and highly-educates family backgrounds with kids from Mushin and tell Ikorodu kids that they should drop out because Ikoyi kids dropped out and were successes. They'll fail woefully. Even Middle-class kids in Surulere won't have access to what Ikoyi kids have.

Jason Njoku was taking his 10 yr old son to meetings with investors and touring companies, Jim Ovia's daughter was doing IT at 15 as a Frontdesk Operator at a top company, they have access to funding and expertise peers in Ibadan don't have

Mariangeles:
Once you start, you will just be baking anyhow, anywhere.
It's exciting, and fun. Plus, you get to create magic 🪄✨😀


Learn these three steps, and your bread will never fail:

~ measurement of ingredients in the right proportion

~ kneading your dough until smooth and stretchy

~ proofing your dough until double in size (this is the secret to light, and fluffy bread)

If you want to learn how to bake bread (or anything), start with the basics, to avoid confusion.
One step at a time.

Following the recipe and measurements is my problem. I don't do well with instructions 😕

My friend tried to teach me how to bake and I would add an extra egg to the mix because I thought our local eggs were small. She left me after one lesson

Sucre6:
Ever since I bought my mini oven and microwave I never bought bread outside, i make my own bread and it’s more delicious and more healthy and with little ingredient you can get many loafs of bread

I think I need to learn this thing o

I love bread

LordIsaac:
A plumber earns more than the average professor in the US. It is all over.

Untrue.

I lived in the US and had relatives who were graduates and those who were in trades. Only one person in trade was richer than the graduates.

Trades are really good but if they were superior to Formal Education, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk's kids would be running the largest construction firm in the world.

There's a lot of online global propaganda pushing people to not go to college and leave it for the elites. Because College made society more equal than before.

There are no Nigerian construction workers richer than any Architect. Even NSYC architects are earning in $$ via PPD work.

Trades breaks your body down very rapidly, most of them struggle with bad health. It's backbreaking work, you're exposed to more hazardous materials so the pay reflects that.

Formal Education without application leads to stagnation. And there's no such thing as a useless degree.

Nigeria's unemployment problems are because we produce very little and import everything. Almost all the factories being set up are run by foreigners. We have to industrialise or there will still be no jobs in trades, because Beninoise artisans and Chinese and Indian workers are preferred to Nigerians (we're a very dishonest society).

Finally, there's no such thing as too much education. Education makes you a better self. This Chinese millionaire is still writing their version of JAMB

Bwanasaraw:
If you are a Father here, I suggest you quickly enrol your children in institution where they teach Artificial intelligence and Coding. They can be doing it as part time program while still attending normal school.

When they graduate, they can become self employed immediately if they don't want to work in a firm. They can also conveniently work from home.

This is my industry and I strongly advise against it unless the child in question is in uni.

anonimi:
Does that advice apply to both men and women who feel entitled in marriage without bringing their own contribution to the family in different ways?

Are there other ways to stay single and have children without the drama of baby daddy or baby mama?

Finally, what is the benefit of having children if you devote your life to them but they don’t have your time in old age? Is it not better to have a dog that will be loyal and stay with you until death?

I'm not a fan of children without stability. And biblically, even Apostle Paul says it's better to remain unmarried, no matter the gender.

There are modern way to have kids without a baby mum/dad, rather than doing what mem do and let a woman get pregnant before suddenly getting cold feet (meanwhile they knew marriage was never on the cards).

Children and spouses are love, sacrificial love. They're meant to reflect God's love for us, to give without demanding in return. Get a pet if you choose to. I do know people who are unmarried and childless and Nigerian, so eveeyo choose their path.

Pets tend to die before you sha

Every Governor is rushing to congratulate kids from different schools for winning awards at this Olympiad and if ignoring the elephant in the room:

NOT ONE OF THE SCHOOLS WHO SENT CHILDREN TO COMPETE AND WIN IS A GOVERNMENT SCHOOL. BECAUSE THE GOVERNORS ARE NOT DOING THEIR JOBS IN EDUCATION AT THE STATE LEVEL.

They are congratulating private schools and parents for doing the work Governors and Commissioners of Education are supposed to do.

That his Smart Green School Initiative should have sent 5 kids from Govt schools.

anonimi:
If you were not a father you would chop your hard earned money alone, without sending any of it to a single mother to care for your child.

That's why you should not rush into marriage or fatherhood without knowing you have to sacrifice.

Don't enter and later on be selfish and say "I wan enjoy myself and my money" then expect your children to forgive you in your old age.

Stay single, stay childless

This boy needs a Father.

I said it during the tournament and I'll say it again: he badly needs a Dad or Male mentor in his life to mould him.

His mother cannot control him and his dad is too busy being a Millennial, Lamine Yamal is dating IG baddies instead of a sensible girl who will ground him.

He'll ruin his career off-pitch and then on-pitch.

nairalanda1:
Zoos are expensive to run. Your national budget is very scanty. And your government is not diversifying the economy, not taxing more of the gdp and not moving to a manufacturing economy.

So, that is what you get.

And someone will see this and say I am excusing government.

Our billionaires should be funding stuff like this and getting their names on buildings and philanthropy.

But they won't

WhiteIverson:
Some of una just want to talk for talking sake. His parents were married and they separated when he was 3. His father was never a deadbeat. Man was fully involved in the boys upbringing.

If he was a deadbeat, would the boy buy the father a house, take him to all the award ceremonies? Would he say good things about the father?

They separated and incase you don't know, the mother remarried while the father didn't.

His dad has another child, a girl (maybe about to enter her teens).
