TheBillyonaire: From the points you raised, you have a good heart and also have the resources to expand your wealth. Whenever ever you experience constriction, do the opposite - Expand!
I know you mentioned that he wants 3-Bedroom Flat and wants to move in as early as February. Do not allow yourself to be manipulated. ASk him to be patient because you have a better plan for him.
Do some research on your State Capital or your Husband's Capital and and convince your husband to help out too because this is an opportunity to own a little more real real estate. Buy cheap land at the sub-urban that could be useful for you or your kids in the future and build a 3-Bedroom bungalow which he will move him and when he translates, the house is yours.
Ignore the idea of rent if you can afford to build a simple 3-Bedroom and tell him you are building a house for him, the news will restore his pride and yours and shut the lips of the naysayers and also buy him sometime to enjoy the village.
As for his Electric Pole business, it is a good idea, but he can start with Block Making business after the house is complete, there is a chance he can get back on his feet with it.
Ozommadu: There seems to be no end in sight to the incessant increase in the cost of virtually everything in Nigeria, from transportation cost, housing, food and worst redundant Salary.
Imagine taken your nephews or children to have a nice hair cut which was #100 four years ago, #150 two years ago and #200 just last year before Christmas. Only to see that the haircut you'll still return to in max 3weeks is now #400.
How do Average Nigerians survive? Those with four to six children? Those on minimum wage
Yet people who were vocal in the past years against inflation and bad government has gone mute. What is really happening in Nigeria.
Have Nigerians adapted to surviving and just taking anything from the people they voted in power

I believe say many family people dey here wey get better experiences.
Thanks 🙏.
The 4 Family Man Deadliest Expenses are: 1. House Rent (Look for a way to get the Cheapest Rent eg 350k to 400k/Year max) 2. School Fee ( look for the Cheapest School with Quality) 3. Transport ( Think of a Way to reduce it too) 4. Food Stuff for Home: (Food in Bulk buying) 5. Get your Wife to Support by Setting up a Business for Her (she must contribute o eg she can Handle Food Stuff while you handle the Rest) 6. Stop having MORE Kids
internationalman: Person go dey wash plate for abroad he go fit use am build house for Nigeria or mortgage house or buy a car on credit for that same abroad.
But in Nigeria person fit work for 30 years and he salary for that 30 years nor go reach 50 million let alone building a house.
If you can survive the current Nigeria you can survive anywhere in the world.
Rest in peace to the lady.
Meanwhile her family members should check if that's truly her handwriting.
What About the 25M or 30M you need to Travel? if You can get that? You were Never poor Before....
flakkypastries: I got a job with a small micro finance company some months back. And I have been doing my job effectively without any complain
I notice I was having chest pain throughout Sunday, so I had to call my supervisor that I will be late to work on Monday morning because I needed to visit the doctor... I'm not the type that take permission from work I was at the hospital when my supervisor called me that the manager said I shouldn't bother to come to work again on that day , I thought maybe they wanted me to rest
Lo and behold, I got to work this morning, my boss said I should handover all the companies properties with me that I have been relief of my job. I pleaded to him but he wouldn't listen to my pleas Thank God he paid me January salary and gave me 3 rubbers of rice.
MisterBanny: OP, stop lying. You're the one involved here and not your friend. In this new year, any Guy who falls in love with a Nigerian girl is a Big Fool. No apologies about this at all. I have vowed that I will never go into any relationship, or love or give my delicate heart to any Nigerian girl. They are all emotional scammers. They say one thing and do the other, their actions always betray their words. They are cheats and hypocrites. I will only love when I'm ready to settle down with my God ordained spouse. Let me build myself first
But the God-ordained spouse will Still be from the Same Nigerian Girls naa. so you should get Accustomed to Breaking and Mending Your Heart Regularly.
so your Heart go don turn Poomo. when you are ready to finally pick
RandomFellow: You're not ready to japa. You're also not ready to marry; neither are you ready for a business. Save some more, like 4-5m, when you have enough for either japa or business, then you should make a decision.
Take this from a married man that is running a business; that is striving to survive. Don't get married for now; at this rate, you won't be able to save 1m in a year after wedding
For some days now I have been on a serious dilemma whether to resign from my federal government job that pays me above N200k for my current position and migrate to the UK or stay in naija and set up a business to augment my salary. I will be 34 years next year, I feel traveling to the uk for studies next year September will delay my chances of getting married, as I have planned not exceeding 34 years without getting married.
I belong to the school of thought that believes can make it in Nigeria despite all odds. However, considering the economic realities of the country, I have recently contemplating of japa and maybe get a Nigerian lady for marriage after my studies.
Please I earnestly need matured advice from you guys to know how to start the coming year.
Do you have the 25 - 35Million Needed? Did You get it from this 200k Job?

GUNITGuy: Micheal you be mumu Micheal wait till when you're 30yrs old na your mama you hate pass ...Just wait it's still fresh all those women supporting would still end up blaming you for listening your mum against your father
The First Problem he will most likely have is: His Wife OR Girl Friend Calling him: MUMMY"S BOY. In fact the Wife Would Not Want to See the Mother eye to eye... The competition will be intense....
Godoverevery: So calling his father names and insulting him while the mother sit beside during the interview is what ??
You actually the slowpoke here if that normal to you.
Imagine Calling his Father: 'Insane', referring to him as : 'This Guy' This is heart-wrenching to hear... The Father might Develop a BP in the coming weeks Listening to this.... : a Son that he raised from Birth!!
Nwanna2588: Navigating through the vehicular landscape of choices, akin to the myriad of car options on the market, one observes a familiar pattern. Much like the tendency of Nigerians to gravitate towards a newfound discovery, be it the ubiquitous Macmillan textbooks of yesteryears or the current trend of embracing Lantern quantitative and verbal reasoning.
In this metaphorical journey, I draw a parallel to the Toyota phenomenon, where a singular choice becomes a widespread preference. However, the automotive realm, much like life itself, unfolds a plethora of options, each potentially more fitting for its purpose. The allure of Toyota, celebrated for its fuel efficiency, echoes the collective embrace of a popular choice, perhaps overlooking alternatives with similar merits.
The crux of the matter lies in the propensity of individuals to follow the footsteps of their neighbors, perpetuating trends without delving into the broader spectrum of available options. This inclination, akin to the Toyota factor, manifests in a cascade effect, with one neighbor influencing the other in a domino-like progression.
Yet, inherent in this trend lies a crucial realization—the existence of alternatives that may surpass the current favorite. It beckons one to explore beyond the immediate circle, analogous to venturing into West African countries for more economical solutions. The advice, though specific to car parts, extends as a metaphorical suggestion to probe beyond the familiar and discover cost-effective alternatives.
Furthermore, the astute recommendation emerges: if the pursuit involves repairing your metaphorical car, consider seeking parts in neighboring West African countries like Cotonou, Togo, or Ghana. A venture across borders may not only yield savings but also serve as a testament to the cost disparities influenced by demand dynamics.
In conclusion, the automotive analogy provides a lens through which one can glean insights into the broader human tendency to embrace what is popular without exploring the wealth of alternatives. The Toyota factor, while emblematic of a widespread phenomenon, prompts introspection—encouraging individuals to question, seek alternatives, and, in doing so, potentially find a more economical and fitting solution.
With all these Epistle.... You did not name any Alternatives that have better Fuel Efficiency
Dpharisee: The woman looks like an agent provocateur but he seems to have been over provoked to assault her. He was telling her to give him his keys but she was adamant and dragging it with him. That show of strength with the man could be deadly with very hot tempered idiots like this man.
A gentleman will simply walk away from such stubborn woman than this public disgrace he has caused himself.
When my wife tried this with me, instead of allowing myself to be provoked into fighting I just went inside and took my very important items and went to stay in a hotel and called friends to come and groove with me.
She was the one that was running helter skelter asking people to beg me to come back home and I gave her my conditions. Once you lose guard and assault a woman the society will not want to hear your side of the story.
You are Lucky, what if she Held your Shirt that: YOU GO NOWHERE and started breaking the TV and Valuable? You never Jam TOXIC WOMAN!
To be a woman beater, you have to be a very successful man, because no carpenter or poor man is a woman beater,” Emeka Ike says, as he narrates his ordeal in his marriage with his estranged wife.
The Reason Why we Men go through so Much ( keeping an Unhealthy / Toxic Relationship) and Dying silently in Pain....is Because: 1. WE ARE TOO SCARED TO BE ALONE without a Wife or Without Kids. 2. We are looking for LOVE( from Wife and Kids) that is NOT Available (Can only be gotten from your Mother) 3. Societal Pressure of : WHERE IS YOUR FAMILY ??
ikeno: There's nothing wrong with falling in love with a single mother so long she reciprocate the love too.one thing single mother cherish more is their child and if you adore her child the way you adore her she will give you unconditional love
No woman Except your MUM can give u unconditional Love
Stamina777: Hello nairalanders, please I need your advice on this. I work in a bank as a cleaner and I go on errands for bankers in the bank. Am 24 year old and I only have my school start with me. I have an ambition to further my education though.
So their is this lady banker I like so much. I do go on errands for her. She is in her youthful age too but might be a little older than I do. I love her but I don't know how to tell her. I fear she might cast me if I tell her my intentions or I might lose my self respect.
Moreover, I always feel lonely because I rarely socialize. I go on errands because of the tips I make from it. Nobody gives me money for not doing anything. I feel less cared for but I care more about my loved ones even though I only give to them. I feel lonely all the time
Please what should I do
Bro, You don't have Stamina Yet Don't even dare

thesicilian: But this man was prosperous in Nigeria and even abroad. Did you read the part he said he was going from US to Japan to import electronics? The guy was well to do. What I don't understand is why he forgot his family in Nigeria and decided to get another family over there.
To be a Citizen, You might have to Get Married to a citizen like you are Single....
Gideonski: Hello guys, I'm a 25 year old male and close to over 6'2 inches tall. Right from childhood, I've always had this thin physique that has made me look very lanky.
