Zitania:
Haba. There are many of such jobs na

She can even work from home as a writer and earn as much as 2,000 Naira daily

My sister is not a graduate. She is just SSCe holder. I don't think she can write to earn.

Zitania:
Why don't you take a job as a POS agent where you can earn like 30,000 Naira monthly ?

Where is such job located ? My sister is willing to work , we just haven't seen. And lately her health has been an issue , but she said she will manage.
Do you have the job ?

I have to post this and cry out. Is no longer easy for me.
My sister is a full time house wife with three kids. Two boys twin and a girl. The boys are 8, while the girl is 10.
The hubby was working with one if the numerous companies in muritala muhammed international airport, Lagos
When the lockdown started , they were all asked to go home and hopefully when things return to normal work will begin. He works with a sanitation company, I think.

During this lockdown it was not easy for them, in fact they ate up their savings with hope that the man will go back to work.
Since the lockdown had been lifted , airport has not been the same and the company has openly him and others off.
Is been a trying time. My family had been the one helping but truth is, we are not that financially bouyant . We have kids, too.

When school resumed, the twins have been out of school and only the girl was asked to go because she was preparing for entrance exams.
My nephew's have been out of school. I could only afford sending the girl back.


In all of these the man has not been lazy, he has been doing menial jobs even on construction site and this money can only buy staple food.
The other day my sister ran to my house in the morning, she said the kids said they won't eat concoction rice again. That's has been their major food. We were both crying . I had to give her some money to make plantain for them.



They are heavily indebted to this loan app and this people have been sending embarrassing messages to their contacts. And calling me and others countlessly.
Some family members have helped us settle some , but we still have up to four we are yet to settle. They used most of the money in feeding, hospitals and paying their rent when the landlady threatened evacuation.

I want good samaritan of nairaland to help them with foodstuff. And maybe help them settle this loan app. And help send back my nephews to school this September.


They are open for verification. We live in oshodi mafoluku.

Please note, the company keep promising the man to call him back when things return to normal , but we are only hopeful.
I am also open for verification
Ask me any questions. I put up this with their permission.
Thank you.

Noble profession that can't pay your bills.
If bill gates n the rest of the billionaires we know had this your reasoning n mentality they would never have made it.

Whether you accept or not, there is dignity in all labor, but not all are if the same nobleness.
There is a life that is truly lived , and there is one that lived for paying bills.
Those billionaires you mentioned pursue a course first before they become billionaires.
Education is a more noble profession.
Those billionaires you mentioned wouldn't think like you neither .

Punch line:
"KEKE WORK BETTER PASS TEACHING WORK BY FAR..."

It is time for us to change this narrative in Nigeria, reason being that, education is the pathway to the sustainable development of any nation yearning for all-around advancement.

It's quite monstrous to note the fact that education is gradually loosing its value in Nigeria, we need to revitalize it by all possible means...

However, there's a place for handworks (apprenticeship) and there's a place for educational-based jobs... But things are gradually turning off beat, many graduates can even find a placement to work in their respective fields of study...

It is well...

She.might earn more as a keke rider , but teaching is a more noble profession.

cococandy:
Being single doesn’t affect my reproductive system does it?

You are one hell of a crazy person, I like you , you know ?

What did I enjoy about being pregnant ? Like seriously? Absolutely nothing! Pregnancy do take a toll on me , from conception till birth . Then the sleepless night when the baby won't sleep .
I keep telling people I am so done with pregnancy as if that will automatically just make pregnancy scared to catch me .

MikeAterezzi:
Smooch? It was just a raise of the hand and a swipe, that was all.
I have to agree I had the wrong impression from her. So it was kind of deliberate.
We were not close o, unless you mean geographically. In fact, I was still frustrated with the way things were going in our bond (it was not the idea I had being little. I did think siblings worked or played together, at least from the people I saw when I was tender. So it was like a false storyline to see it wasn't working like I imagined).

You sure have some psychological disorder, pardon my assumption, but your choice of words left me no choice. You wrote as though you did beyond a 'swipe' and a 'slap'
Did you rape her ? Did you molest her ? How deep was the physical assault ? You said no to the former questions and insisted it was just a swipe
You are just too dramatic for your sister . Allow time to heal both of you, I think you are so on her. Build the relationship gradually. She will come around , really. Why did you hit her ?

Dear op, I know you meant well, but your observation isn't totally correct. Children between ages 0-7 are not in the same category, neither is children between ages 7-14.
As wrongly assumed , you start laying the foundation for positive behavior from age zero, and yes, is fine to scold a two year old and upwards. At this age, this children already understand emotions such as being happy �, sad � . Don't you see this emotions in them ?
Only that I ask parents to scold and use the right words. Condemn the behavior, not the person.

I don't have friends anymore as I don't visit so they , too don't visit. I have enough taking my attention for now, raising my toddler's, attending to home chores, going to work and building a career, worrying about not having friends is the least ! My kids and my hubby are my friends for now , but I do have a healthy relationship with my colleagues

missidy:
You are right but it goes beyond just money. You need someone to care for you in old age. My grandma is with us, she has her own money (pension) so she doesn't depend on anyone. But she can't care for herself so much like before. She's old, weak and walks very slow. I also cared for my grandpa before he died. He had his own pension too but couldn't do most things again due to old age. You will need at least one child to care for you in old age, no housemaid will even be able to keep you company like you own child. When you are old, you become like a baby again that can't do most things by himself.

If you have your money and need to stay with your child when old, you won't be much of a burden. My step- grandfather is staying with my step - uncle, my step grandfather collects pension over 50k every month , in fact , papa helps with settling their own bills even school fees for step - nephews . They enjoy having papa around, even the wife wants papa. It won't be this lovely if all papa did was fold hands in his hay days without having his pension figured .

Lostchild:
I marvel when I see many mothers goes through hell just to raise children and grand children. Go to the market, they are inside the scorching sun, rain and polluted air just to provide for their children and grand children. I just cannot understand why the same children can't do the same to their parents. They will focus on their own own children and almost abandone their parents

They can't do same because they are also busy taking care of their own kids. The earlier women realize that birthing so much, suffering so much and putting up themselves as sacrificial lambs for their kids is not a meal ticket to that 'awesome' old age they dream of.
Parents , plan your own old age. It is paramount.
Should I tell you what my mum did ? My mum is a selfish good woman. Who has put up things for her old age, she has her own building she hopes to put up for rent once completed , she has her own provision store. And if you promise to send mama money , whether you did or not, she isn't worried , she won't even call to remind you. She's gat her own back. Now that is the type of old age I want , not the type I have to keep calling and chasing them about to give me money to eat.
Mum has always work out things for herself, she has put her hands in many businesses, just so she can be fine on her own.
Gosh, how can one sits and wait for a child you saw growing and fed to turn round and do same for you ?
The bible says a righteous man leave inheritance for his children children. Which means a child shouldn't be the one working hard to care for a parent .
If and when the child grows and he is well off and can afford to buy you things , then that is out of love not out of necessity. The former is joyous , the latter is a burden.

If you see children as investment , then you are a bad investor or probably don't understand investment. When I first had my first child, I will spend at least 20k-30k buying him cloth in one sitting, this price is excluding outgoing cloths ooo, I do t even want to go there , when the second one came, and with the present economic situation, the money tripled. I keep spending and spending . And you think , they who do not understand my financial stance should advise I have more kids ?
Imagine the numbers of years you will have to keep spending just so you can have enough people care for you at old age ?
The best investment is the one you make on yourself.
Enjoy your life, stop refusing yourself things all because you think the kids deserve more than you do.
I love children , I like them looking well , attending big schools, eating rich food, having nice toys and good medical care. All if these require money, so the more kids the more money spent, if your resources can't stretch along , then your finances shrinks from not having enough to carter for all the kids,
then you begin to forget yourself , you forget about that degree you said you will go for , you forget about that cloth , that shoe , that vacation, those things you desire , then in all of these , old age came quicker than you notice , kids are grown , but are all up fighting for themselves. They want good life , too. And by the time they are realizing they should probably care for you, you are closer to dying .
Then what did you live for ? What about those dreams you didn't achive because you felt the kids deserve better , or you felt the more kids , the better my retirement. That's not true.
Take care of yourself , invest in your life , sometime be selfish , go some place and eat and merry all alone, achive your plans have lesser kids . It doesn't mean you are a bad parent , it means you are one who wants to live truly.
I am saying this , for at a point I found myself almost giving up my dreams hopes and looks all because I became a mother .
Parents are important , too. We have dreams we must live for. We aren't on earth just for parenting !

If you want to have kids, go on, they are good to have , but have the number of kids you can comfortably take care while still seeing yourself as the most important person who should enjoy a large chunk of what you are working for.
Secondly, it is wrong for anyone to see kids as retirement plan. Plan for your old age when you are young. The economy these days won't even let that possible even if the child wants to. After all the child also wants to enjoy the large chunks of what he is working for, even more difficult it would be , if such a child already has his own family.
Have children because they are good to have , but not for retirement, if not , you might not be lucky.
My verdict , parents should make long term investment that can live on still their old age , and can at least feed, and pay for your emergencies.
Don't have so much kids to the extent that you loss your own existence while caring for them.

Ps: I have just two kids, and anytime someone ask if it wasn't time for the next kids, I told them I'm done! They look at me like , haba you are still young now. I'm like oh, I should give birth till I look wrinkled out from child birth ?
