either one is good since they are new cars. read the official gas mileage for both cars but the difference will not be much. both cars would be comfy no . you could juts go for the one that catches your eye more.

MZright:
I was hoping I could make a decision on which of these two cars to get and I would appreciate input from y’all.

A few things to note- it’s my first car, and I care about comfort, interior, gas mileage, and durability.

I don’t really know much about cars, so any help I get will be pretty much appreciated.

Or if there is any other compact SUV better than these two, please suggest them. Thanks

Dont you agree?

Agreed

EreluRoz:
In one of his statement, he said if he dies now people will be surprised and won't know what he suffers internally. I want to get close to him and reach out to his sister which he revealed to me as the person who constantly fought his wife over her behavior but had to tell her to stop interfering in his family affairs. It's very sad

I am not sure an intervention will work unless the timing is right. The man has to want to be free before anyone can free him. Na subtle ginja and encouragement the man needs.

EreluRoz:
He keeps saying it's because of his kids he still have her in his house, the annoying thing is this man is financially responsible for her 100% , takes care of her siblings too. Na him be their big in-law for her family. If you see this man outside you won't ever believe he's facing hell at home. I felt so much pity for him. If he were to be my uncle or related, that woman will be herself pack her things and never return. Sometimes I dislike this idea of minding one's business as that's what exactly his family is doing knowing fully well this woman is killing him gradually. Not me sha, I'll sooooo interfere and unremorsefully scatter that hell he calls marriage. Very sad situation

The man is not really ready to be free of the wahala. Em eye never clear

He will die young at this rate. If he cannot pursue her he should let her do abroad and then file for divorce. Man must grow a pair!

you probably need to figure out why the girl keeps coming back before you intervene. ideally she is the one to make the report as she is an adult. las las dem fit go use you settle quarrel. the caretaker/landlord has no more right to report the matter than you do cos all of you are external to the matter in a way. except you want the landlord to evict the man cos of the violence. the landlord may decide not to evict as e no dey tenancy terms or he could be a wife beater himself.

Also even if the evict him are you sure the babe will not follow the guy to wherever he goes next?

Melagros:
There was power cut in my area, so, because of the heat I couldn't sleep soundly in the night, when it was dawn, I eased myself and went back to bed. And one of my neighbours, I think he works offshore

He'd returned on Sunday, this morning, he drove out, and when he came back, then fight broke out between him and his girlfriend that have been cohabiting, when the girl tried to escape through the backyard entrance (which is near my window) unfortunately it was locked up, and the guy trapped her there and beat her up with a wooden stick like an armed robber, honestly I thought that girl would die!

Before we could come to her rescue, she was already been beaten (with a thick stick) black and blue and was just panting and weak! And the girl confided in me sometimes last year that she is an orphan

Distinguished COMRADES, this is not the first fight neither is the second, about twice last year similar incidents happened, the girl jilted the relationship and left, the guy went to her and pleaded for reconciliation and forgiveness, the girl accepted his plea and came back

COMRADES, mind you! The guy is advanced in age, he should be in his late 40s. Why I'm soliciting for your various opinions on nairaland is that; it is the sole responsibility of the caretaker to brief the landlord about this, but unfortunately, the caretaker has failed in his responsibility, (though he was absent this morning) some people have this mentality of 'mind your business' before you said I should mind my business: remember the case of Sanda Mariam and the late son of former PDP chairman. If this protracted crisis is left unreported, one day it may result in fatality

COMRADES, you can see that this is one of the reasons that always scares ME, Don Jazzy, Oprah Winfrey etc from getting married (affray)

Distinguished COMRADES, Say NO to Domestic Violence
Thank you All!

Please nairaland help, I am finding it difficult to upload the audio

if the new job is 350k net and it would not disrupt your side hustle and remote jobs and also the working conditions are right, then you should go for it.

my colleagues are dating two very beautiful igbo ladies we all interact well ,communication is good,but the ladies are taking things too far,one is fund of buying me things whenever she comes visiting , this one is worst because she expresses herself too much without caring about the consequences my colleague is noticing it ,i try to avoid her because the guy has done a lot for me and i have a personal principle i never
have anything to do with a friends partner.
the second one is older and more secretive with her moves,yesterday after meeting with my colleague she was on her way home,i was busy arguing with friends over politics and state of the nation,suddenly i recieved a tap on my back i look back lo and behold its was the older girl she is about 25 years of age looking more beatiful than ever she called me "ekureku" meaning "talkative" in igbo she dragged my hand that i should see her off to the bustop which i did,this particular one very seductive hard to resist,i always feel insecure around her.
i saw her off to the bustop she took iyana apaja bus and hugged me before leaving,when i came back my friends ask me who she is i explained they started urging me to Bleep her and clean mouth but my conscience is too active for such act this particular colleague has covered my financial secret a lot oro yi o loor far.

I need your advice please 🙏🙏🙏 long post but please bear with me

So I currently live in a "boys quarter" apartment where I share toilet with about 13 other neighbors living in the face me face you plus the rest of the BQ tenants.

The good side of the house
The house is just about 2 minutes from the main road (trek able) so I don't spend anything on TFare when I'm going to the bus stop. The area also has about 23hrs of power supply which is very rare to find in some other places in Lagos.

All of which are important because I work hybrid and electricity and transportation are major expenses for anyone in Lagos .

The bad side of the house
I share bathroom and toilet with about 13 other neighbors living in the face me face you plus the rest of the BQ tenants and the toilet is at the far extreme of the house. I pay someone each time it's my turn to clean the toilet and sweep.

I also share prepaid meter with everybody (about 15 plus shops) which causes issues whenever we need to buy units and all.
The house has a rule of always switching off the light during the day and putting it on at night by 8pm which means if I have to use light during the day, I either buy additional unit (which the whole house will use because I can't use it alone - no personal switch) or turn on my generator.
No water in the compound so I have to pay someone to help me with fetching water or I carry bucket
The neighbors are one of the most bitter people I've ever seen, but the landlord doesn't stay with us
I pay about 7,500 monthly on electricity based on this arrangement.

The situation

I plan on renting a room self contain (budget 300k max) around the area but I couldn't find any, other places are either too far, not enough power supply, shared prepaid meter, or even sub par apartment for high price.

So as an alternative, I'm thinking about liaising with the landlord to renovate my apartment, get a personal prepaid meter and also channel water from around the neighborhood. The budget which shouldn't exceed 200k.

Considering all of this, what should I do?

Keep looking. I don't expect a landlord who built one toilet for soo many apartments to be reasonable. A lot of things can come out from your renovation that you can't see now. I may be wrong though but.........

yes, after doing that follow the prompts.

Come to Lagos, opportunities abound to move up and level up compared to Ibadan. looking at only the current pay is shortsighted.

9japicker:
What do you think or what is your preferred choice between a net salary of 130k for a job in Ibadan or 200k for a job in Lagos?

Note: The 130k job is for an operations manager while the 200k job is for a business manager.

Well said.

when i read the title , i initially thought it was going to be one of those blanket statements along the lines of never questioning "Men of God".
kudos to the writer.

PCHC:
DANIEL 3:12

[Daniel 3:12 NKJV] - There are certain Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; these men, O king, have not paid due regard to you. They do not serve your gods or worship the gold image which you have set up.”

[Daniel 3:12 TLV] - There are certain Jews whom you appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego—those men pay no heed to you, O king. They do not serve your gods, nor will they worship the golden image that you have set up.”

EVIL REPORTS ABOUT MINISTERS OF GOD

You are called to serve (minister) with humility and selflessness, but there are personalities you must never serve:

*1* Never serve anyone or anything that is a god except the Lord God who is the only One you should serve among anyone or anything else that appears as 'god.' If any man you were serving before becomes a god, you shall not serve him; except the Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father above that you are to serve. As it is written,

[Luke 4:8] — "And Jesus answered and said to him, Get you behind me, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve."

It therefore means, never allow your services to any man or thing include any act of worship or acknowledging that man/thing as a god. You are warned. Your services must not be with worship to anyone who has not created you, neither serve any man-made god.

*2* Never serve two masters: and two masters here means God and Mammon.



[Daniel 3:12 TLV] - There are certain Jews whom you appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego—those men pay no heed to you, O king. They do not serve your gods, nor will they worship the golden image that you have set up.”

In this Bible verse, three Jews expressed by names (and not by number) had their "evil report" brought before the king, which stated they disregard the king (who promoted them into being administrators over the greatest province in the world then) by not yielding to the king's decree to worship or serve his man-made god and idol of gold.

I use "evil report" because there are evil reports among men and world's government that are good reports in the sight of God. What the world may call wrong, bad or evil report, sometimes is what the heavens call righteous, good or testimony. And many people call good what the heavens call evil, and celebrate what the heavens are ashamed of. Therefore I teach that if all people of the world speak good reports of you without speaking evil report of you among themselves, you are a false minister of God among them. You are told that one of the marks of a true minster of the Lord is having both good reports and evil reports among carnal and blind men because of how they view things. As it is written,

[Luke 6:26] — "Woe to you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets."

[2 Corinthians 6:4,8] — "But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, … By honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;"

Behold the report brought against Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, was evil report that validated their being true Jews and true ministers (servants) of God beyond being ministers (servants) of the king who appointed them into provincial service and because they were not ministers (servants) of idols of gold (Mammon) or man-made god. To differentiate between the evil reports that are good for true ministers of God and the evil reports that are evil and should not be for true ministers of God:

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, in the Bible verse above were appointed into office in the world's government and the "evil report" against them was not corruption charges, not embezzlement, not false declaration of age/asset, not dishonesty, not negligence, not lack of performance/productivity, not against public service code of conduct nor breaking practice ethics, not fornication or adultery etc., Rather the evil report accused them of matters regarding their faithfulness to God higher than their faithfulness to their king or office and above political opportunity and political gains/pressure. The same would be said of Daniel in chapter 6, wherein no fault was found in Daniel in all his job and relationship duties except when it comes to his being faithful to God higher than his faithfulness to his king or office and above political opportunity and political gains/pressure.

*** If the evil report is speaking against your faith, obedience, truth and love in the Lord God, then that evil report is endorsement and good validation of your true discipleship and ministry of the Lord. But,

*** If the evil report is speaking against your fault, bad fruits, vices, lies or fake signs of your profession, then the evil report disqualifies from being a true minister of the Lord.

One of the criteria required for being a Bishop or Pastor of a church is you must have good reports among unbelievers and people outside the church. As it is written,

[1 Timothy 3:2,7] — "A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; … Moreover he must have a good report of people who are outside the church; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil."

Lollz:
This thread is an avenue for those with a dream of being at one of the topmost tiers of the world of administration or becoming permanent secretary to be informed via people's elreal life experiences on launching into this career path.
The question is how can one launch into a career path that would lead to being a permanently secretary of a state, ministry or evn nation?
What are the criterias needed?
Even if one did not study an administration related course what step can one take to further your education and lead you to that path?
When it comes to employment what kind of jobs can one apply for that can place you on this career path

Let the enlightenment begin!!!!

most permanent secretaries are career civil servants with political connection. most rose to senior levels of the civil service before being appointed. some had retired or resigned and were later appointed

I recently fixed prepaid meter on my betting shop.
I only have 1 ceiling fan, 2 white bulb, 3 laptops and 5 computer monitor as display.
Working time is 8am to 7pm

I need an estimate like How many units can I be consuming per day?
How much is unit?
Does the price of unit same with all provider?
How can I be able to know what I consume to avoid been cheated?
How to reduced consumption?

unit prices differ by area and company.

The cost of your units is indicated on your printout when u recharge at a POS. to determine how many units you will consume, check your remaining units after each day over a period of one week. find the average daily consumption and use that as your basis

you did not answer my Q though, cos the date you paid your first rent is dritical to determining when your rent becomes due

Gentlesoul2021:
I have been here for 2 years, we have not been having this issue not until the landlord gave his property to an agent or lawyer to manage abi oversee am ni

We calculate everything right but when it comes to rent, we draw the line?

Please come to my rescue and explain because I don't understand again.

When is my rent suppose to expire I need clarification. Thank you.

Wisdom is profitable to direct

I agree and I have said the same thing over and over again. However, one of the reasons why schools offer after lessons and parents opt for it is because in this current age, both parents tend to have to work and may not live close to the office and cannot be home on time if the kids were to close at 1 or 2pm. So the schools keep the kids and then the parents pay for that. However, I would prefer that during this time the kids did fun stuff like sports or creative arts and the likes without pressure, rather than a continuation of structured schooling

Popesuccess:
From primary 1 to SS 3, i never stayed in school till 2pm. And i still passed WAEC & JAMB. Today most of our kids come home from school by 3, 4 or 5pm, in the name of school lessons. They come home with about 3 to 6 home works. In my opinion, this is to much for this children, why should a primary school learners be doing 16 subjects? Some parents will still have house lessons for their children after the school lesson, no time to play or rest. Some them will graduate with good grades but without any social skills to succeed in our tough society.

There is this girl I am dating and I used to trust her, today she came visiting and she decided to show me a picture on her phone. I scrolled to the screenshot side and I saw a picture from Google she sent to a guy..
In the picture she inquired from Google that is it safe to have sex after menstruation and I have never discussed about sex with her this month. And she sent this particular picture to a guy, when I confronted her she said she just helped the guy because he is confused about her girlfriend issues.

What else did she end to the guy, what was the convo before she sent that image. That would provide context
