Akinfemmy: I worked as a photographer for a studio in Lagos. I started the job in January, and the studio was newly launched, so we weren't getting much traction. However, during the interview stage, the CEO didn't mention that there were no clients. He spoke as though there were already clients, and it was just a matter of me coming to work. It wasn't until I resumed that I found out this wasn't the case, but he assured us that we shouldn't worry, our salaries wouldn't be affected, and he was hiring a marketer. The marketer joined us in February, but nothing changed. Although we were working, most of the jobs were promotional, and only a few were paid.
Fast-forward to June, after the end of May, we were all expecting our salaries. However, the first week passed, and then the second week, so I wrote an email asking why our salaries were delayed. I also informed management that I was running out of money to cover my transportation and daily expenses, which might later stop me from working. I asked if there was a good reason for the delay, it would be kind of management to inform us. I sent the email on Monday last week.
On Friday, I informed the secretary that I didn't have any money, and I might not be able to come to work if I wasn't paid. She didn't respond. The following day, Saturday, I stayed home and didn't go to work, unaware that some staff members had also decided to stay home. That evening, I received an email stating that I had been terminated with immediate effect and that I was to return all company properties by Tuesday, which was just my ID card. I replied that I wouldn't return anything until my salary was paid. Note that I had worked for two weeks in June.
On Monday, I received my pay, but it was only for May. I went to the studio on Tuesday to return my ID card. The secretary informed me that I might be paid for June's salary by the end of the month. And that's how my unemployment journey started.
Nothing spoil, it's not like they had capacity to pay
richmond500: Please married people I need ur input on this. I do two jobs, one govt job that pays me 150k, and another audit firm that pays 250k, making it 400k My girlfriend has been very supportive though, she cooks and clean at all times, except my laundry cos I do my laundry myself and once a while help in cleaning but I don't cook cos I can't eat food that I cook, I don't even help her in the kichen enter except when I want to microwave food. Recently she asked me to give her my UBA ATM card where I recieve 150k and I should keep the 250k for myslef that she will manage the money herself but will only give me 15k monthly for transportation, Kai my own money o. She has agreed to buy all groceries and house-upkeep needed for the month except rent. Her excuse is that it's better since I dont help in house chores. Though I do give her monthly upkeep for her stress but managing my finance is not something I actually fancy.
I am still contemplating on it and I need input if it's ok to allow her manage the money. Pls I will prefer married people input and not redpillers abeg
our problems are many and they are mainly self inflicted. Our shortsightedness is legendary.
ugowems2000: National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has warned Nigerians about the circulation of an unregistered cosmetic product, Fair Child Soap, which is reportedly being marketed for children.
In a statement released by the agency, NAFDAC disclosed that its routine post-market surveillance uncovered the sale of the imported skin-lightening soap across various retail outlets in Lagos. The product, which is promoted using misleading labeling, is not registered with NAFDAC and poses potential health risks.

Women should also treat women better.....let me rephrase, people should treat people better.

you can leave, even if you dont go too far away. Just make sure they are cattered for and get your siblings to contribute their quota.
An Adult needs space.
SultanOfPuna: I have lived alone in apartment from 2019 to 2023 Due to financial struggles i relocated to my parents house 2023 since then i'm still with them
Now its 2 years and i have gotten financially stable and solid. I want to leave but my parents are old and they want me to be around them at this stage of their life.
My parents are really old My siblings are all married except me. My siblings are in different states far away from my parents. I'm the only one closer to them
I'm the one taking care of the house and making sure things are in order. But deep down i want to leave the house and go create my own family.
If i leave them and move out i fear that things will be out of order and disorganised due to old age. Unfortunately no younger sibling to help look after them.
Nigerians need to learn to resist the urge to Shalaye. No lies in the damage cos she admitted. I remember when they accused Sanusi of sleeping with one woman like that. Baba did not say a thing, the story got lost very quickly. In fact this story was dying before she granted this interview. maybe she wan trend but except she wants to open an only fans page I do not see the benefits
nothing to clear up na. She slept with a married man while she was also married to another man. Her statements are admissions and dont help her story. Somethings just need to be left to die out on their own. Deed was done, d matter cast............wetin remin?
PantShifter: There was a need for her to clear things up
matter wey she suppose just keep quiet about till the world moves on to other things
damilola4162: The Anambra woman who went viral over her s3x t@pe with a married man has revealed that her daughter leaked it online.
In a new interview clip shared yesterday, the woman recounted how she fell in love with the married man identified as Ichie Obiora, even though she was also married to another man.
According to the lady, Ichie Obiora treated her well, took care of her and rushed her to the hospital after her husband knocked her out. She also debunked claims that Ichie Obiora’s title was taken from him over the video. She stated that he would only pay a fine as the title is for life.
The lady further revealed that rumours that her married lover was sl33ping with her and her daughter, are not true. She noted that her daughter was angry with her for abandoning their father and accused her of moving in with Ichie Obiora, even though it’s not true.
She added that she deleted the video, but her daughter recovered it, showed it to her estranged husband and also leaked it online.
DyshApp: A Nigerian lady ended her relationship after discovering her boyfriend secretly married another woman when she became pregnant—only to learn, post-delivery DNA results proved he wasn’t the father.
This account was shared in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) by @themamaG_, who confirmed it happened to her and explained why she walked away.
She wrote: “I found out last year that my boyfriend got someone else pregnant. He rushed into a marriage because of the pregnancy, but this year we discovered through a DNA test that the child isn’t his.”
Feeling betrayed and unwilling to “share” him with a baby mama, she continued: “I broke up with him because I can’t share a man—especially one who has a child with someone else.”
“He needed to take responsibility for his actions. He hurt me, yes, but I weighed my options and decided to move on. Even if he wanted me back now, I’m never going back to an ex. I’m proud of how I handled it and my heart is still 🤍.”
Reflecting on her intuition, she added:
“The craziest part is that I told him before we split that the child might not be his. Turns out I was right—crazy stuff.”
Wakatumbit: For a family of 4 I spend close to 200k monthly on just feeding, we can no longer buy food stuffs the house because even if u take like 150k to buy food stuffs, u won't see anything.
I want to know if others are spending more or less and if there's a way around it.
Thanks
if your power supply is reliable, look for the major market near you adn buy as much foodstuff as you can in bulk
Clevagal: I have 2 lhasa apsos that are 5 weeks old. They’re already eating solid food. Can I sell them now or wait a little? (I’d have loved for the puppies to stay with the mom till 8 weeks but due to some issues, I can’t)
growing up we used to start selling puppies at a minimum of 6 weeks, ideally i would say 8 weeks sha.
No be every woman men suppose hook up with. some women............................problems!!!!! Find yourself a good woman and also be a good man...........make e no be say na she go dey report you for nairaland and SM
A heated exchange broke out at a store after a man asked his child’s mother for a $10 loan when he came up short at checkout. Tension rose quickly as he reminded her, “I gave you $2,000 last week, and you can’t spot me $10 now?”
I'm throwing this question to you because it's very important. Every time I ask, "how is Nairaland?" I'm told that it is fine. If I ask what are the challenges I'm told there are none.
So I need to talk to you guys directly about what you think is going on and what you want us to do. I have not had the confidence to make major changes on Nairaland. I have a little confidence now because of AI.
What are your complaints, your challenges, your issues. What are the things that can drive people away and need to be nipped?
Aatami: With the present situation of the country, I don't feel am going to marry. will God punish and send me to hell for not marry and bear children,
No sin there. However since we are speaking is sins, I hope you will be celibate too
ChildOfDoom: I started womanizing to help me overcome my addiction of Betting.
It has helped to an extent as I spend majority of my time in a brothel, Eating, drinking, relaxing and fvcking (my mind leaves betting).
The issue now is that, since I started three years back, I have been treating one infection to another. Currently having skin reaction that brings out small inflammation and rashes on my body like my favourite olosho.
I can't help it. I have tried switching to drinking to take over womanizing, but it won't work.
Except I go back to betting (which is worse). In the past, I would sit all day in a bet9ja shop wasting away - gambling with my money, people's money and my belongings. Then I lose focus and don't work
But with womanizing, at least I get some pleasure, and get to use my money little by little. The rate at which it finishes is not as fast as betting.
The thought of having to choose between different bannies to lash at night keeps me motivated during the day to work harder for cash. Just the infection part as condom do burst at times while there are some I only do raw.
I know my lifespan is short, I just want to enjoy it with a sane mind and not fleeing from betting woes. My body is wired to do one addiction to stay placated/elated.
Having a girlfriend is scary. What if I invest a lot on just one girl and she cheats on me
U need Jesus and not another vice. That void you are trying to fill ehn....... nothing of this world go fill am.
