Nothing sweet pass when a girl tell you

That sitting posture was usually a reward for several days of peering through the window to watch the black and white TV and humbly greeting the owner as a well-brought up child. Then, one day the big man would be in good mood and throws the door open for you and your friends to make grand entry. You quickly yank off your flip flops, enter triumphantly, sit humbly on the floor, steal happy glances at your friends, and then fix all attention on the TV. Great, great breakthrough then! Rich kids won't relate but it's ok because life no balance since beginning of time.

Interestingly, the strategy still works today if you are targeting to attract the attention of a big man. Politeness and humility will help you a lot to make a breakthrough.

Wonderful experience you have got.
I was there too.
Thank God for Grace.

Kai you don suffer no be small upon say u get sense. poverty no good at all or na him make u join this business

RealGboy:
This made me remember something I lerrnt in school.... my teacher then came to class and taught us something on humility, she explained and explained but my mind was drifted far away on how to make money ,. she later called me and complain that I'm easily carried away in class and always talking off point ... my point is that , she called me a failure. true true I failed her exams ..but I later discovered yahoo and now I'm doing pretty well...just added another house ....my point is that

my point s wait what are we discussing?

you don suffer no be small upon say u get sense, poverty no good at all o na Im make you join this business. 419 no thief it's just a game everybody dey play am. if anybody fall mugu. my brother u go chop am

Paul abeg make we hear word
You no even know the privilege of sitting inside a rich man's floor sweet

For my time na window we go stand , if u no tall u go carry block stand on top , we go reach like 10 wey dey peep from one small window
Small time Dem go close am just because of say we also laugh for the comedy from the movie
Poor man pikin laugh no good for big man pikin ear

U go see say d go use opportunity send us errands , use us wash plates , wash clothes join sef with style
Las Las Dem fit con let you sit down near door side or you go they back of door just stand like statue

Only when Dem go give u stool na when ur mama popular for naming ceremonies and parties , Dem no born u make u mess and Dem no born u make u go piss because if u go , u go fear to enter back

Chai poverty na disease o, no let anybody deceive you with motivational quotes , anything wey dey give u money hold am tight
As long as u not feeding on blood

Ogbeni,if u buy a house now in lekki and sell it in the next 15 years,it might be double the money because lekki would be full then and wealthy men at that time will do anything to get a house then talkess of banana island

My father bought our house land for 15000naira a plot in Ikotun in the early 90's,if we were to sell it now,it will be worth millions,that is more 10,000% profit

I agree with you Ayo..., perfectly...but land and building are two different things. If you are a developer, you've got nothing to worry about because you'd build to sell and move on. But if you build for residential purpose, you don't need a gigantic house because of maintenance cost . Nobody would buy it later at the original value. Your kids would grow up and leave you guys someday. If you built a house worth 100m today, in 10 years' time, the maintenance cost would have added up a great deal. If you now want to sell it, it would make little or no difference. Buyers would consider pulling down the building and erect whatever they want on it...that's a loss in the long run. The law of diminishing returns sets in properties and the area where its erected too but many don't seem to realise this

At a time. everyone wanted to move to yaba where my grannie had their house immediately after adekunle bus stop if you know the place. Yaba was like the lekki of their time. Yaba later became less attractive and they moved to surulere to develop it. My dad had a house at Eric Moore and one at Abraham adesanya in lekki. Mentioning name isn't necessary here. Its better we remain anonymous. That lekki every Tom Dick and Harry is rushing to would soon become saturated just like yaba and surulere are nowadays and people would move elsewhere. Go to yaba and trek down a stretch from adekunle down the street. You'd think lagos is on holiday ni. Most buidings are under lock and keys with few people seen on the street but lekki isn't like that.

Hardly would you see comfortable guys in our generation who would say hey! I'm going to yaba to build. Surilere sef no dey move maket for young guys anymore. It has to be lekki. That big mansion would become less attractive and nobody would wish to say they want to buy tomorrow. If at all the location is still attractive, they'd prefer to pull the whole structure down as they do in yaba and some parts of surulere now. Its only the land they'd reckon with and not the building anymore so who loses?. Only the land would have value not the building. Spending so much on mansion is stupidity. Its a waste of resources. The land could still be useful but the building,? Nope! If you compare the value of the land bought by your dad back then with the current naira value, the difference might not be much. Inflation had set in over time. Like I said, if you're a developer, you build, sell and make your money while the burden is passed on to the buyer because he wouldn't make as much as the developer had made in the long run . 4m naira in 2010 when usd was 120 naira is 13m naira today. If you bought a parcel of land 10 years ago for 4m and today they say hey! Its now 12m, still same value because usd is almost 500 naira today . You're still selling at same price you bought 11 years ago. I'm speaking from a businessman's point of view sha. Build a simple but well furnished to taste with sophisticated furniture and design if you have the money and not a mansion that would only end up a burden on you.

YoungLionken:
Go and recreate your relationship with your brother..
What you are doing now is childish.

Dear brothers, never allow a woman cause confusion in the family for any reason.
There should be limitations to simping...

Psquare disappointed a lot of people having them as role models. To think that it was even a mere woman that sow seed of discord among them is an annoying scenario on its own. Fools

Fake Twins! Original Twins can never be separated. Not even by their Mother or Death.
