SickOfItAll:
I opened this account because I want honest opinions. I also posted this in this section because I believe there are more matured people here even though no thanks to this election period, it is flooded with all sorts.


I'm 30 years old. I have nothing. I mean, nothing. Nothing except my family's love. That would go away too if I kill myself. I would throw them into disarray and perpetual sadness because I'm the first child. Since 2020, I've not had 20k of my own money. Be like say I'm under some kind of curse. I I have been depressed since my early 20s because anything I do with or without effort never yields good results. I can't even point to any successful endeavor I've had in my life. If I go on social media and check all my mates from primary, secondary and college, at least 90% are doing well. I attended top class schools so it's natural for you to see a lot of success when you check your mates. Two or more have been so successful, they've made front page on Nairaland for successful endeavors in their respective fields. Here I am without a university degree (not for lack of trying), with a history of selling drugs to support my family and siblings. I even regret stopping that because the people we did that together, today they have built their own houses and drive their cars. I've never made 500k of my own money at once ever. I am currently living with my parents and siblings in our room and parlour apartment which is a fall from grace because I grew up in a 3-bedroom flat in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Lagos mainland, visiting my dad's under construction duplex at the time which he ended up selling along with all his other properties just to meet up. I'm looking at my siblings and there's too many similarities with what I passed through. Only difference is they never turned to the streets. They're what you'd call Ajebo by face but pako by situation. I see my mates with families of their own, running successful enterprises, and loads of people proud of them. When I sleep at night sometimes, I don't want to wake up because everyday is the same. I'm afraid I will never be anything anyone will be proud of. I sold weed and crack and got out of the game as easily as I got in... something a lot of people cannot say. I guess I was too chicken because I wouldn't commit murder like drinking pure water. (If you know, you know). I know it seems like I'm rambling, I kind of am. I'm tired of everything. Nothing makes sense to me anymore. I'm a liability to myself and my family. People see me and think I'm having a good life. Women see me and smile because I'm good looking but I'm not interested. Infact, I've not been with a woman in like 3 years and it doesn't bother me. I don't go to parties, I don't do drugs, I don't socialize because of this prolonged depression.


If you understand what I'm going through, what do you think is best for me right now. Matured responses please. Id hate to bring pangs of pain to my parents and siblings due to my suicide.

ahnie:
The she-ken
My son refused my snapping his,he said **mummy no time**

MzBertty:
After CBN declaration of the Old note being Legal.I had some old note which I collected from the BO of the Bank I ate..I took the money to buy food the woman simply refused to collect it and started ranting..I told her Sanwo Olu told us to call his number if the person doesn’t collect it😂😂(I saw a post yesterday that we should report in Lagos)..I sharply dialed the number and started calling the address and the restaurant name 😂😂..The woman calmed down,collected the money and pple were telling her they told them to collect it now,,She said it’s because Buhari said anything on Radio..
Hmm I think it will be a while be4 it’s acceptance..
Share me ur experience when spending it today.
Mod pls move to front page🙏🙏

BluntCrazeMan:
This guy must always rush to comment without thinking.

Thermodynamics:
Tinubu only said this because he wanted to rig election

Eriokanmi:
Let those who committed crime be made to face the wrath of the law to serve as a deterrent to others. Ado Dogowa , that Kano rep won't go unpunished, same punishment should be meted out to the man who beheaded somebody in Abia.

2023 election is the worst ever. Even international observers who used to be part of the process since 1999 didn't give it a pass mark, compared to the previous ones conducted, despite putting all the modalities in place which should have checked irregularities in our electoral process. Where in the eyes of Africa and they take after us in everything we do. Politicians shouldn't at this point still be desperate for power by taking to fraudulent means of winning elections.

Do you know the implications of what has happened? Their policies won't be fair to the masses because they knew it was their means that took them to power, not your regular votes. Cry from now till tomorrow, they'd not hear you. Those who collected 5k in Ekiti who told me openly when I didn't even ask them, would go to the hospital to deliver babies but they'd tell her madam, no equipment, no bed space.

Until that day when we shun all manner of inducement and fraud in our elections, they'd always have their way and the masses would continue to suffer. If you vote along ethnic lines instead of competence, your candidate won't do anything to favour your region. The federal character would be followed else he'd be impeached if he messes up. That's why they don't do much once they get there, to favour their region. They'd rather embezzle cos the system permits them to do that.

Obasanjo ruled Nigeria for 8 years with nothing to show in Ogun state and yoruba land. Jonathan ruled for 6 years as president and 2 years as vice with nothing to show. The east-west Road is still under construction. That's the road leading to Bayelsa, phc and comments delta and SE. Until we vote credibility, status quo will be the end point with these people in power. Buhari was able to do that little because of his past record and act of discipline, which was why i also voted him. You can't compare Buhari with tinubu naw.

Enough said.

lookingfly:
we all why there was hardship, the man in the middle mopped all the new cash in circulation.

ShaqFu:
Good. Even with this, the CBN will still effect Naira scarcity. They will make sure both the old and new notes remain scarce until Emefiele leaves office.

A wounded dog can still bite and it's still dangerous.

HomeTutorsPro:
People, especially in Lagos, will still not accept the old #500 and #1000 until Emefiele or Buhari says so - on TV or radio.
Trust me, some people will want to do a voice verification to be sure it's them speaking.

Diligence:
Nigerians don't forget APC soon!

Remember ENDSARS:. What APC Govt/Tinubu/Sanwo-olu did to you

Remember COVID-19 Palliative: They hoarded them in warehouses while locked Nigerians up & down for months

Remember ASUU Strike for 8 Months

Remember what they did with Naira Redesign and old Naira Notes.

Nigerians: Reject APC. Vote them out

alabo1:
I tire As if Tinubu winning has added a dime to his allowance. Until we seek true governance irrespective of tribal leanings we will remain as we are. I frankly don't care if Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo rule for 1000 years straight if things are run well. It is unimportant. Truly every country gets the government it deserves

Time shall tell.

Duru009:

Smartgeek:
What happened to printing new notes and circulating?

GEJDHERO:
mumu question

Elfree:
I completely and totally agree👍👍

His attitude doesn't depict of someone who was deceived into involvement in a sham.

BVAS contract is another tool of siphoning poor Nigerians humongous N310 billion.

INEC account must be audited.

Enough of this fiscal recklessness 😡😡

Revolution2022:
How will Lagos be someone's land when an osun man is the one that dictate who becomes governor,and house of reps memberz.He even ordered his godson's in Lagos house of assembly not to re-elect ex gov ambode,who happens to be a core indigene of Lagos.An epe man for that matter.

blowjohn:
Cbn said they burnt it.

Remember El rufai said they were lying they burnt them.

So what if cbn uses that as excuse?

Amarabae:
Oriaku wishes you all a free and fair election in advance.
I want to ask you supporters of Bola Tinubu 3 key questions.

1. Why do you guys believe that Tinubu will win south west but my incoming President,Atiku will lose in his North East?
That means the north easterners will abandon their son for your unsellable candidate?
In your little mind, Tinubu will win win his geopolitical zone while Atiku will lose his own.
Achiam na latin

2. What makes you think that the NW will abandon Kwankwaso and Atiku to give Tinubu their bloc votes?
Are you guys naturally deluded or what?

3. How on earth will your Tinubu Muslim -Muslim ticket sell in middle belt, SE and SS with a lot of christians?
Something that even Buhari never tried.

My happiness is come the 25th February, Tinubu will eat the hot breakfast the North is cooking for him ..

Congratulations in advance
My incoming President
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Waziri Adamawa

And his vice.
Dr Ifeanyi Okowa

Workch:
Don't you know that Urchins are deluded?
Their delusions will be cleared in 7days
