Your own is too much. 😂😂😂😂

I have to o, because to maintain a level of financial comfort as a black man, one must be wary of the black tax.

- Sponsoring a woman to school? I no do.
- Sponsoring a sibling or cousin of hers to school? I no do
- Opening a business for any of her relatives? I no do

I better don't get involved in what I cannot finish. So, I target those with just two siblings. Hopefully, God bless me so I meet the one with just a sibling.




Young ones should deter/caution/dissuade their parents from having more children than they can cater for. I am proud to say I did that to my parents. If I had not, I doubt they would have been able to sponsor me to where I am today. People must be a little bit selfish.

400 x 6 = 2,400 naira

2,400 naira x 3 = 7,200 naira per day.

7,200 x 30 days = 216,000 naira a month.
what exactly are you buying #400 ?

Lmao. Actually, your points are valid.

Folks should be a bit selfish in birthing children especially those ones that say children are a gift from God and I go born all the pikin for my body, boom! They birth a football team. cheesy

Raising children these days is not funny at all.

I had a friend way back and her erstwhile boyfriend broke up with her when it was time for marriage. He's rich but he said he can't take on her family's burden.

I didn't blame him though and I told her my thoughts. She isn't the first child but her whole family solely depended on her for survival. Plus they were 5 kids (inclusive of her). Told her that her siblings need to start fending for themselves somehow because nobody is coming to save you.

This is a bit true sha.
I guess the Ekiti result coming out first, made people to feel that way.
Ekiti was actually a surprise to me but the percentage quotient of Ibos that voted for Obi is far more than Yorubas that voted for Tinubu.
For me, Tinubu won the election because of the two strong oppositions .
Yeah, as soon as they split up, I knew that APC would win again! PDP would have easily won the election if there wasn't LP, NNPP and G5 govs out of PDP.

That is the truth. Even if one does not have ambitions or extra-flexing or elite schools' ambitions, just feeding is something else. Na why I keep emphasising vasectomy to men because female contraceptives can fail, and the truth of the matter be say, the burden of providing for a family or a large proportion of it lies on the man. Even the side chic some men indulge in has a low ROI. People have to use their senses. Things are hard everywhere.

Not fair on the lady. Which is why it is important to begin early with the question: how many siblings do you have?

Given time with no action, salt will become so costly that it would be out of reach.

Just watch out
then we would all process salt from our tears. Nigerians always have a way to adapt.

To be honest, feeding is very IMPORTANT for children; they need a well balanced diet for growth all round. Imagine having 4-6 kids with meagre salary. God abeg!!! And children can EAT!!!

Lol how many Nigerian men are willing to do vasectomy? You talk as if you don't know your people. Hahahaha.

I know right? It wasn't fair actually, they also had conflicting religious difference. He was Christian, she's Muslim and wasn't willing to convert. But then again, the guy left her.
