lonelydora: It's surprising Nigerian Maritime workers earn this poor. How can a captain earn 1.5m to 2m per month? This is the salary my company pay graduate trainee engineers that just came out of training center. Na wa o.
But my guy that works in Bonny Transport, a subsidiary of NLNG, lives large. I think he earns well.
Also I never knew BOSUN is not a high level position. hello sir can i get to message you if you don't mind sir so i can reach out |

Business › Re: Y Combinator-Backed Fintech, Pivo Africa Is Shutting Down - TechCabal by Pope98: 9:09pm On Dec 06, 2023 |
Bigkoko: Still on Pivo.... Indept study shows that once African techies gets funded, the motivation dies down! Because as part of far reaching agreements for the funds, they knew they are no longer the owners of the idea & business, but mere figure heads kept fat for the kill. This is why lousy mouth board members could vote to fire Open Ai CEO.
A chap fronting for a Tiger Group in China proposed buying my company for $80k USD cash, then retaining me for two years as MD/CEO and co-founder to move the company to projected heights and i wont have to set up another LLC similar to my initiative for the period. Now, $80k USD is mouth watering for a young African in his late thirties, but i said No! $500K, 50% equity or nothing. Ndi ara. Do i look like the Open AI guy that got fired by a members who sat all day long sipping coffee without smelling the street?
This is why i have not raised funds from Western Capitalist fronts. They have no idea how the African; Nigerian markets works. More funds is no guarantee of a successful Venture! They fund you, then they dictate how you should run your idea. Africa is not the West where Institutions work and Institutionalized corruptions & bureaucracy is negligible!
This is one reason why Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing via Innoson Group Inc has been around while more funded businesses like **** have faltered! Companies like IVM & Bigkoko will continue to be around because, they organically grow through hard work, not through easy funding.
With the Igbo Apprentice System properly incorporated into ways of running a businesses, it will be difficult to shut down. Ask people wey sabi run Companies! No go fund swegbessss!

Family › Re: As a Christian, Is This Not Enough Reason To Divorce Him? by Pope98: 12:49pm On Sep 09, 2023 |
Read this book and read it well...marriage remarriage and divorce..by kenneth e hagin ..you would find all your answer s ..trust me Prettycute90: Since we got married, everything about the upkeep, rents, bills, feeding, general upkeep. I mean everything is on me and he has refused to provide for us as he always claimed he doesn't have. I have always be an understanding person who believe, I should be doing while I can, pending when things gets better for him. I never knew he was getting little little, but was gambling away with it.
We really do not date for a long time before we got married. Because I knew him back then in school from a far distance. And we liked each other but didn't date. So, meeting again after graduation and in a different environment, made me believe I already knew and the fact that we already liked each other.
He was struggling with a little job when we got married. My foresight then was to grow with him. I supported him in all ways. Infact, during our wedding, most support came from friends and relatives. Because I'm not the type of a wife that pressurized, It took me a very long time to know the nature of habit he had that has kept him low even before I married him.
He is a chronic gambler. No money stays with him. He wouldn't even care about himself so long as he can afford little money to gamble. Now, I don't have a job and too much burden has crippled my business.
To be honest, I'm losing myself. Sometimes I feel I need a therapy myself. My husband has refused to change or make effort to make this marriage work. Before I had my second child, he was pretending as if he has changed. But immediately I took in, he continues this lifestyle. I almost died due to emotional breakdown and responsibilities shouldered by myself.
I have done everything, (both family members have adviced him severally, I have prayed, fasted, cried, shouted, talked with a calm voice, all my efforts. but non is working.
Presently, since two weeks ago now, I don't cook for him. I source for food for just myself and my children. We barely have decent conversation in this house. I can't even remember the last time we had intimacy. I always avoid him, each time he tries to get close. Because of the situation of things in this house. We had two children and I don't intend having any other. The cost of taking care of myself and the children all by myself is emotional hurting me so much. School has resume and I can't even afford all the expenses of taking my first son to start a new school and I know, he would watch our son stay back at home. He wouldn't care.
We're in the house, but he's only concern is how to get little money to gambles.
Are these not enough reasons to divorce him? During one qurrel we had recently, I told him I want us to separate for now, so we can work on ourselves, and he said he will be with our children not me. I see that as way to make my children suffers.
What can you advise please?
I just want peace of mind.
I don't want to waste my youthful life in a loveless marriage. Where myself and my husband can not support each other to grow in Love. Rather, stressing me. |

Family › Re: Problem With My Wife, Mother, And Mother Inlaw. by Pope98: 1:01pm On Feb 20, 2023 |
Lol people get to be blinded by emotions most times, most people think because of the love shared between them and their mum that the mum can't be wrong? That's not true your mum can love you and can still be wrong 100 percent same with your wife.. They can be blinded by emotions. Women naturally are selfish, your mom is probably fighting for what seems to be her right. Her authority over you or bit of control. At this point you gat the very careful.. No force things allow time to take its toll.. Give them time Norah199: Good morning guys. I need some matured minds and married men and women in the house to look into this matter and give me an ideal way to go about this. Would be a long read pls bear with me.
So late late 2021, I got married to my long time girlfriend. Before the marriage, my mom had a little reservation about the girl and her family for some odd reasons due to her tribe. She’s Igbo. Everything was funny because the first day I introduced my wife to my mom. She liked her and everything was cool. They where going on well until my mom started telling me she’s having some dreams about the girl and her family. She’s white garment member. I think her dislike started growing when she told my wife about her church and she said she can’t go to her church for any reason. I was a former member of the church when I was a teenager but with time as I grew I stopped going to the church not because it’s a bad church or something wrong with it. I just don’t fancy going there and also not a church type of person. My mom believe it was the girl that made me stopped going to the church which was funny. She has said that several times.
For the record, I’m an only child of my mother, my dad is late and she’s yet to marry again. I do everything for her like her rent, monthly upkeep, and also got her a good car. Initially I thought she was doing all these because she felt she hasn’t enjoyed me yet and another woman is coming into the picture which is normal for most parents. So I did everything I could to make her comfortable before my wedding.
We did the wedding and everything went on smoothly aprt from some normal family disputes and all but the wedding was successful. Deep down I know my mom still doesn’t like my girl because of her statement s most times but I don’t always give her that room so she’s always quiet and rather not talk what’s on her mind. Later on, my mom started complaining of the money I give to her. She seems not to be ok with it. Trust me guys. I do more than enough for my mom. I just tried my best to handle everything well and sometimes allow her have her ways with her demands so she doesn’t see my wife as a stumbling block to her.
To cut the long story short, my wife took in and was due for delivery and her mother came like a month before the delivery. Actually my wife had a false labour that made us rush to the hospital and doctor said she has very high maleria and was in serious labor. I called the mother immediately and she started coming the next morning because she lives in the East. The doctor gave her some injections and drugs for the maleria and the labor stopped. Doctor told us it wasn’t the right time for the baby to come out because it was 8 months. The next morning when she was strong, we went back home with the mother that was already in town.
The mother decided to stay till the delivery instead of going back and coming again when she delivers which I supported. Two weeks the doctor gave us turned to 1 month and labor didn’t still come. All these while I never knew my mom was so bitter that my mother inlaw was in my house for that long. She once asked me why the woman didn’t go and come back. It was that bad. To make matters worse, I lost my child after a CS was done on my wife. It appeared the baby was in distress which the doctors failed to notice and came out with birth asphyxia. After about two weeks, she died. I opened a thread on that.
Problem started after I buried my child. Everyone was in sorrow and so much pains especially my wife. A day after the burial my mother called my mother inlaw and asked her why she hasn’t gone yet. Started accusing the woman of killing the child and all manners of things. How she had turned her husband to vegetable and now she wants to teach her daughter how to turn her son into vegetable too. It was really bad. They both insulted each other and quarreled seriously on the phone just a day after the lost of my child. She also called my wife and told her “shebi she doesn’t want children” my wife was quiet and didn’t utter a word.
I was in so much pain and so pissed at my mom for everything she did and didn’t even speak to her for like a month even though I still sent her upkeep money. I reported her to her uncle and a few respected people. I don’t know if they talked to her but nothing was done. No body called for any meeting even her own pastor that I reported to. Instead he told me it’s woman talk. That they both insulted each other and the rest..
After that incident till date. My wife, mother, and mother inlaw haven’t spoken to each other even though I have had more peace since then but the fact still remains my mom and wife are not in good terms. I have long forgiven and moved on with my mom even though that closeness is not there but I don’t fail to send her money for upkeep every month. My wife is cool with it and said she doesn’t want that closeness with my mom even though she has forgiven her too.
My mom and I talks once in a while and never for once has she asked about my wife since that incident and my wife hasn’t called either which I don’t blame her. The last time I visited my mom. She said some ill things about my wife and her family and even told me my wife is not my rightful wife and some other things. I usually don’t listen to her talks because I know how religion has turned so many people into something else.
The question right now guys. What do I do in this situation. The truth is nothing can change my moms mind about my wife and her family. But still as a husband, I still feel somehow knowing my wife and mom are not in good terms. My mother inlaw the last time told me she wants to make peace with my mom that they can’t keep fighting forever especially because of her daughter. But deep down I know the thought my mom have about them. So I just told her it’s not the right time and with time everything will be fine. I can’t force my wife to call my mom because she didn’t do no wrong. At the same time my mom won’t even listen to me for any peace making. There are more things to say but I will end here. Sorry for the long write up. Your opinions would be deeply appreciated. Thank you 🙏 |
