Nairaland GeneralRe: Standing Fan Or Ceiling Fan. Which One Do You Prefer? (Photo) by PencilBox: 11:36am On Feb 21
Amotolongbo:
[/b]Please what do you mean by air from ceiling fan is natural? Does standing fan synthesis its own air?[b] The difference is one blows vertically while the other blows horizontally.

I prefer a standing fan because you can direct the blown air to yourself when you need it or direct it elsewhere when you don’t need it. No direction for ceiling fan
grin good question Bro. Maybe the guy dey use a different form of standing fan sha. Cos tech these days are amazing

You're not far from the truth though

TravelRe: Man Refuses Pregnant Woman Seat On Bus, Says “you Want Equality, You Can Stand” by PencilBox: 1:35pm On Jan 27

[/b]When you need help don’t make it seem like it’s your right, [b] anyone would’ve given up the seat if she wasn’t appearing entitled…as a pregnant woman, don’t ask anyone to stand up for you to sit, a lot of people are sensitive, they know when you need help… but asking a seat immediately because you are pregnant, it’s rude
Bro, grin I had to login to give a like to this comment.

Lately, this behavior of "entitlement" when you need help, is becoming alarming.
And people, like the first poster, will judge you(especially negatively) for whatever action you take afterwards, towards such action. Especially if it doesn't go their way.

Meanwhile, you're trying to "correct and impression"

My take home is, when you need help, don't make it seem like it's your right 👍

Where there's no investment there's no risk. That's why it easy for her to walk away. If she was expected to make financial contributions towards the marriage ceremony she would have open up to the man that the marriage will not work so no need to waste money.

Do you know that my cousin almost boarded this flight on his way to Beijing china on March 8 2014 from Bangkok via connecting flight.

BusinessRe: Can A Keke Rider Make This Kind Of Money Daily? by PencilBox: 9:12am On Dec 24, 2025
oyeb15:
There is no easy way to make money in Nigeria. Have been in transportation for some time now.Its dominated by people who don't go to school and u must roll with them else they will humble you. Later, u will be reasoning like them.
Then,when u do all these driving work for some time as a graduate and u are reaching 40+, something will be speaking quietly into ur mind daily dat... is this d kind of work u want to be doing till old age...why did u go to school... Instead of you to be using brain to make money,u are using muscle and sweat.

Me am desperate for government job right now.I have straighten up my certificate.

If u earn 80k monthly u should learn ways to turn that 80k to 500k in a month.

VOsimhen144:
Racism is a disease that has no cure, it’s here to stay till eternity. These white guys don’t like black people especially we the Africans.

Even here for Africa, religion and tribalism don cripple us finish jst like how racism don cripple them for yankee, so I no go judge anybody.

FIFA, if Una like make Una no give Africa any place at all.. Afterall, No African country has ever and will NEVER win the World Cup

Morocco has already made history, becoming the first African side to even reach the World Cup semi-finals after their win over Portugal.
This isn't racism. Stop having victim mentality

He didn't even say Africa should have fewer participants.

omoredia:
As long as u dont worship, revere or bow down to it its just symbols. Any other thing is idolatry
No it's not
"Do not Create for yourself..."


Secondly, we all see them(Catholics) bow to it. Pray in front of it while kneeling or laying down.

The first thing they even do when they walk into the church (if they call it that) is to turn to where the image is, and bow.

The give so much reference to that image. What then is idolatry?

Let's not talk about the glorifying of Mary

omoredia:
When u worship stone ur head will be full of stones
I'm glad Christians know these. But we pretend we don't

First of, doesn't the Catholics see this verse of scripture?.

Then, if you go to almost every home or offices of Christians, some of us have "image of Jesus" on our walls, or over our doors.

It's all idol worship to me.

If you know the amount of debts hanging on those people's neck, if you know the amount of "begging without dignity" carrying out by those people, if you know the amount of shady deal here and there... Bros you go fear!

If a man eats with just 2k in a day that automatically becomes 60k in a month and such person is earning 40k as the salary and he has other mouths to feed and other things to cater for so how exactly do you think such a person is coping?
The poor salary culture in Nigeria is one of the reasons crime is rampant Sir, people need to survive somehow.
You're DAMN RIGHT 👍
FamilyRe: Married Men With Kids Earning Below 100k, How Do You Cope? by PencilBox: 12:34am On Oct 22, 2025
phorget:
Bros no state or city can anyone survive on 100k monthly unless you usually get side income that will argument the 100k.

If you feed on 3k per day that gives you 90k on feeding alone within a month, how about other expenses?
Yes, I agree with the side hustle to augment
But bro, I have worked with people who earn as low as 40k or 50k as salary (like janitors) even 38k monthly as just watch men.

Yes some of them have side hustles or little businesses to augment. But in total, e no sum up to 100k a month

Suicidal? YES.
But they live daily with hope.
They still manage to feed
And do other things.

It's the life bro.
