simplelex:
I don't think so. It depends on d context in which d ot is used.. For example, everybody says aza now for issues relating to money. Aza this, aza that, azaman, wire my aza.. Hazer is the correct spelling and he is the one in charge of collections and dues in black a.xe. He is like the treasurer, so some of these artistes have found a way to infuse confra ot in their songs.

How about 2face song titles "Amaka" where sang, I don tell Mama say everything bam for house"

simplelex:
@lavililly.. Austin milano and tony one week are axemen...

Very good and honourable to stick to the women who added value to us and stood by us when things were not rosy.


Men will always be men, but we should respect and honour those wonderful women. Side chicks or whatever should always know and understand their positions in the scheme of things .



Hope we have not deviated from Investment talks to family affairs?

just like Gani fawehimi did

emmanuelewumi:
Hello guys can we share investment or money management lessons we learnt during this lockdown.

I learnt three major lessons.

1. Cash is king

2. Live below your means

3. Be cautiously optimistic

1 Saving is Queen because it gives birth to more cash
2 no dey look deleted say e get you no know how e take get am
3. Live far below it

emmanuelewumi:
Without having the right prudential practices and risk management policies in place we have seen Investors, businesses and traders retrogress from hero levels to zero levels.

The best bet is to be cautiously optimistic of the future, live below your means, pray for the best but be prepared for the worst.

There are reasons why we have very few Nigerian businesses and brands that have been around for 50 years and above and still growing.


The current recession in the country and global financial crisis, will definitely kill some businesses for good.

May God help us all. Amen

which in turn will lead to job loss

Immediately after the burial, a friend of mine that I trust so much on nairaland came to me that he needed help.

He needed 600K to tie up a business deal that his life and future depends on it. He promised to bring back the money in 2 months. I explained my financial situation to him and how its expensive to do burial in our tradition and all that.

But being who I am, I wouldn't want a friend to pass up an opportunity so I approached my elder brother who in turn called a friend to lend me the money because my elder. My elder bro trust me with all he is got.

While collecting the 600K, I told them I will repay in two months time instead of the one month my friend told me.

One month elapsed and he didn't bring the money, I gave him grace of another two weeks hoping I will meet up with. The time I gave my elder bro and his friend.

One month elapsed and my dear friend behaved as if I am putting unnecessary pressure on him, saying ," Pasco, you chill na, I go arrange the bar give you, just exercise some patient a little longer", I don't like reneging on my words so I looked for someone on nairaland who borrowed me 600K in exchange for my 8 months salary starting from August last year to March

Those 8 months are the toughest period of my life. I was grieving my dad and couldn't support my mom the way I wanted to and couldn't explain it to anyone. Not even my elder bro knew what happened.

I swallowed it like man and was barely surviving for those 8 months.

I was Betrayed and he is still owing me.

I no swear o! But e go hard for me to stick my neck out for another like that and I learnt.

Lesson: Love all trust none. I don't borrow people money again. I give up on helping people. I swear but we move ✌️
