Romance / Re: Help. One Year Relationship Halted Due To Financial Constraint, Depression Lurks by portplus: 5:46pm On Jan 17, 2021
SteveDGreat:
Good day everyone. I know you are fine.

I engaged my girlfriend last year November with the hope to tie the knot this year. Prior to the engagement everything was perfectly okay and blissful.

The moment we got engaged, the family came up with flimsy excuses.
My girl came up with the idea of us improving our financial power before going into marriage. She said she is willing to wait..
Lateky, we had issues when I noticed she is getting close to a guy she claimed are just friends. The guy give her money. We have spoken about it and she said she is gonna handle it. It led to an argument that resulted to us dragging her phone.
Also while in my house she told me she wanna go see a guy that's is disturbing her. She has told the guy she is with someone but he keeps disturbing. She said she wanna talk things out with him. He has a car, stay in 3 bedroom flat.

Currently she is accusing me of being toxic that she want time to egt things off her head. I have tried to talk to her, but she insisted on being on her own for now.


These last days without her has given me new dimensions to think. Relationship idea is on hold for me now

My people said the day a man wake up from his sleep is his Morning.

I am not seeking for relationships advise here, I am asking for ideas, job, solutions that will improve the quality of my life. I need to improve my income. I know we have people that have successfully pull out from want to plenty. Please drop your ideas or Job for me.
Help a brother out. I am battling depression right now. Thanks to my Job and books that keep me busy during the day

I am a graduate of History and Diplomatic Studies. Worked for over 7 years as a security operative in a firm. Earn 70k.
I am capable of doing or learning anything if giving the opportunity.
I reside in Portharcourt
Thnaks in anticipation


Move on bro!
She has moved on!

PFMBabe:
Possible Causes of a Financial Crisis

A lot of times, financial crises are caused because the victims are low income earners…..but there are so many other reasons or causes of financial crisis:

1) Poor financial planning: when you spend your income without making any plans for the future, any problem that may arise, no matter how small, could form a huge crisis for you.

2) Debt: poor debt management can lead to financial crisis. Always pay back the debts with the higher interest rates first.

3) Poor investment decisions: failure to understand the risks involved with various investments before jumping into them can cause you to lose your entire life’s savings and cause a financial crisis.

4) Living beyond your means: if you’re on this table, just quietly come down. We all want to live lives of luxury, but if your income is not high enough to ensure you’re financially stable and still enjoy those luxuries, then you need to stop living beyond your means.

These are just a few reasons or causes of financial crisis. Have you ever had one before? What did you learn from it?

Thanks!

Autos / Re: Advice On Accident Issue by portplus: 4:21pm On Jan 14, 2021
patemy:
Good day people
My car developed a problem on the express way gwarimpa to be precise I couldn't move the car do I switched on the hazard light and also placed the triangle few meters away from the car then crossed over to seek for assistance the nest thing I saw was another driver just rammed into the vehicle from behind causing extensive damage to both cars. The frsc officials came and took pics and videos and now assisted to tow both vehicles out of the way to the service lane. Now the guy that hit my car is claiming he doesn't have money at all to fix my car that the car he is driving isn't his but he is doing uber with it he also claimed he called the owner of the car and he isn't willing to assist.
My issue is how do I force this guy to fix my car. To fix that car would cost at least 150k. Also ism trying my best not to involve the police because involving the police might slow the process and involve additional cost

I understand why you don't want to involve the police.
You may have to involve his insurance company...but that will require the involvement the police.
As it is now, except you don't mind sharing the cost of repairs with the other driver....The company that issued the car must be involved...and I am not sure Insurance company will process the claim except police is involved.

Family / Re: Some Damaging Words My Wife Said During A Quarrel by portplus: 3:22pm On Jan 11, 2021
CrescentMoon:
Let me first tell you my kind of character. For you to make me angry, you have to repeat an offense more than 30 to 40 times. After each offence, I would only give you facial expression that will let you know that you offended me. And I would ensure you get the message.

So wife kept repeating same offence. I told her I don't like what she was doing. She said she would adjust, but kept repeating the same thing. When I got fed up, I tried to retaliate. My only retaliation is that I stopped being around in the house. I would leave the house very early in the morning and return late at night. I would go for business in another town and return 4 days later. She knows nothing stops me from coming home everyday from the other town because I have means of transportation. She flared up. Started calling relatives that I'm maltreating her. They asked her to say which ways I have been maltreating her...she said I'm avoiding our home. Relatives asked if I'm beating or starving her. She said no.

I know why it pained her very well. If she wants to go and urinate outside, I would go and drop her there. When she is through, she would call me and I would go and pick her up again.

She's a woman that's always settling fights for couples in the street. So, she never wanted it to be heard anywhere that we are quarelling in our home. She won't want anybody to come to our house to settle disputes. So this prolongs our fights always.

When she couldn't bear it again, she sent a message to me that goes like this: I INITIALLY DIDN'T WANT TO DIVORCE YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR DISABILITY AS I PITY YOU. BUT NOW, IT'S OVER. YOU HAVE TO BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS TOWARDS ME ALL THESE YEARS. WHAT DID I HAVE TO DO WITH A JUJU DIABOLIC MAN IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.

Let me disect those words in capital letters for you. I have a disability, but you can't notice it easily until you start talking to me. She said I have to bear the consequences of my actions towards her... looking back, I have done unimaginable things to make her happy. I even saved her life when she didn't want blood transfusion from unknown persons as a result of her Christian belief not to contract demons from the blood of unknown person. Fortunately, my blood group is that of a universal donor. That means I can donate blood for anybody. Note that she had never done any noteworthy thing for me apart from giving birth to our babies. About being a juju man, I will tell you how she arrived at this: somebody was about to give birth from her family side and the baby was in breech position. She asked for advice and I told her that if I take the woman to the village my uncle will give the woman a concoction to reverse it. Her faith is against it, but because someone from her side just gave birth through CS, which almost led to the death of mother and baby, she asked me to take the woman to the village. The breech position was reversed. I'm surprised she now labelled me a juju man.

Instead of me to take her message personal, I urged her to please herself. This infuriated her the more. Instead of leaving me, she invited someone to intervene, tracked me to the second town, and it was settled there.

My problem now is that those words are still ringing in my head... someone I thought was a lover said she married me out of piety.

You wife loves you!
This part of the package called marriage.
People "misjive" when they are angry.

Please forgive her.

You are not a juju man and she know it...as par disability she has to STOP referring to such sensitive part of you.

In all forgive her please!

Romance / Re: I Feel Like Committing Suicide. Please, Help My Fellow Nairalanders!! by portplus: 1:03pm On Jan 11, 2021
CreativeMind888:
I don't feel happy coming over here in the public to share my personal pain, but I have come to a breaking point and I feel like giving up and committing suicide.

I'm in my early 30's, first and the only child of my parents who got separated and married another persons. My dad is late though; I didn't experience his care while he was alive, hence I was more like an outcast. I've slept in church premises with malaria being the order of the day because of mosquitoes. Regardless, I've been struggling to make a living. To worsen the whole matter, the only girl I hold so dear to my heart to offer me emotional support bailed out on me (painful, but that is the least of my worries).

At my age, I still squat with someone and trying to survive. You might ask: don't i have family or friends? My mum and siblings who are my only family look up to me for financial support, and I only have very small circle of friends who even ask me for help. So, i'm like a one-man mopol with no one to turn to for help. To feed is a challenge for me now. I feel like giving up on life because I feel so hopeless.

My greatest desire in life has always been to help the less privileged as a philanthropist, but it's just so unfortunate and painful that I'm still struggling myself.

I'm not here to beg for money, because I'm someone who likes to be independent and doesn't like to be a liability to anyone. I'm a creative person with business ideas and skills, but things I've not been easy for me. I need connections because I have value to offer; I don't want to be a liability to anyone. Please, help me my fellow Nairalanders.

What skills do you have?

My friend and his wife got married since 2015 and the Marriage is blessed with 4 Children but there's no True love, he feels nothing for her and she's like a stranger.

What can he do?

His feeling is normal...with 4 Children...his wife is over burdened with taking care of the kids...even with additional hands to help it's still not easy.

Arrival of children in a marriage comes with its challenges part which is stress, dearth of romance and spousal abandonment.

My suggestions:

1. Stop giving birth forthwith

2. Help with taking of the kids...bathing etc....this will lessen the burden on his wife and then she can have time for him.

3. Work on rejuvenating romance again.

Phones / Re: NCC To Reduce Data Cost From N1,000 To N390 Per Gigabyte-danbatta by portplus: 8:10am On Oct 26, 2020
Who will fund the cost of diesel for run the electricity generators used by MNOs to power their mast across the country.

The overheads incurred by the MNOs in providing power for their mast is humongous...and for them to operate within profit margin, the service cost will remain high.


AkuYAY:
YBTC News-The Executive Vice Chairman, EVC, of the Nigeria Communication Commission, Professor Umar Danbatta, has revealed that the Ministry of Communication and Digital Economy is planning to reduce the cost of data from N1,000 to N390 per gigabyte.

Speaking to journalists in Kano on Saturday, Mr Danbatta disclosed that part of the plan was the new national broadband plan for the year 2020-2025, which says Nigeria must provide broadband connectivity, cover virtually all parts of the country and deploy 4G infrastructure also across the country.

According to him, the ministry was tasked to come up with a digital economy policy and strategies, adding that all the efforts put in place are intended to bring the cost of data down to N390 as against the N1,000 that Mobile Network Operators, MNOs, are charging. “Actually the cost has come down to N1,000/gigabyte of data, but the government is saying that we should be targeting N390 in the next 3 to 5 years. To achieve subsidized data cost, according to Mr Dambatta, the country must provide pervasive broadband data infrastructure.

“We need pervasive broadband data infrastructure because at the landing point in Lagos, where we have all the submarine cables. You know, that is why we have them. There is the main cable, 133, West African Sea Cable (WASC). And there is the other one which Glo company is trying to deploy. “This, combined, have data capacity of 40 terabyte. This data capacity is at the landing point in Lagos.

That is from the coast, where there is ocean. Until and unless you move this massive 40 terabyte data capacity into the hinterland because the undersea cables are terminating in Lagos. “Hinterland consists virtually all the major cities of the country and the 774 Local Governments of Nigeria. Through this way you will be meeting demands for data with appropriate or commensurate supply of data.

This is how it will enable Nigerians to pay less data tariff. “But this massive capacity of data at landing cost can’t move itself. There is the need to build fibre cables that can carry this capacity to the hinterland. “We are indeed pursuing the plan.

There is infrastructure and company licensing framework that could give the companies the ability to afford to sell the data to the retail agents, who will sell the data to the citizens,” he explained. At the moment, he added, the plan is not happening but is what the country intends to do to bring the cost of data down from N1,000 /gig to N390/gig, adding that the plan is an important policy of the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The EVC however said Nigeria is among the countries with lowest data cost in the whole Africa. “Following observation of the ranking, which was carried out by reputable global organizations, the commission had found out that Nigeria stands in 4th position among the countries with lowest data tariff on the continent,” Mr Danbatta said. He said Nigeria’s data cost is more than $2, adding that South Africa, despite her economic development, sells data higher than Nigeria and the country is not even among the lowest.

“It is true that Nigerians are yearning for low data prices. Nigeria has one of the lowest data tariff in Africa. When we observed the rankings by global reputable organizations, we discovered that in the rankings of data services and cost, we are like number 4. “Virtually all the African countries were listed in the ranking. Our data price is $2 and a few cents.

“In South Africa, despite their economic development, they sell data higher than Nigeria. To be honest with you, South Africa is not even among the lowest. Cost of data services doesn’t need to come down,” he said.

My take is that you cannot say/give what you don't have.

If this was the speech and it came from a sincere place then we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place because it would be assumed we have reasonable people at the helm.

The truth is this govt cannot be reasonable either in their actions or what they say. They have demonstrated it time and time again.

When there are people like Adesina, Garba and Onochie speaking on behalf of the presidency how would anyone expect anything reasonable from them.

This speech can only be given by a govt that has been reasonable from time and we can't say same about this govt.

They can't even pretend to care.
