Nairalandian:
Teenager present here

The number is insignificant sir. The percentage by the total number of this site users is negligible.

There are some group of people you can hardly find on nairaland.

1. The teenagers: unlike Facebook, Instagram WhatsApp, etc., where you can find teenagers within the ages of 13 to 17 years in their numbers, nairaland is very uninteresting to people within this age bracket, except for jambites that will only focus on the education section for admission information. A 20 year old is regarded as a baby here because the age of most people here starts from 25 to 60.

2. The slay queens: you see those girls that spend all their time making up, watching Facebook videos and all, they find nairaland very boring. This explains the reason most nairaland females are not the most beautiful and young (no insult intended).

3. Lazy readers: anyone that hates reading will most likely dislike nairaland. The reason is because nairaland is made up of 90% texts and 10% virtual contents. So, if you're someone who just enjoys skimming through photos and videos on Instagram and Facebook, chances are, you will find this site boring.

4. Over serious people: back in my undergraduate days, I once mentioned nairaland in class and one of our top over serious girls was like "that joke of a site". The truth is, nairaland has "men" who threw away their status to come play with everybody in this faceless forum. Remember the saying that when men gather they behave like children. It's hard for some people to believe when one mentions their status in the society here because they have the opinion that if you are who you claim to be, then you wouldn't be here. There are landlords and PhD holders here who have chosen to look beyond their qualifications and bank account.

5. Intolerant people: if you don't have a thick skin, here is not for you. You really need to learn how to read and ignore because people will always provoke you. Either they quote and insult you directly or insult your tribe, state, religion, Alma mater, etc. So, reading and ignoring will go a long way to ensure you have the fun you come here to seek.


I drop my pen, add yours

This is a very painful and real story

The family your grand auntie mariied to will have to accept these children

That's the only family they know

If one of them becomes a Billionaire, they will claim that they are their family

No body knows tomorrow

They've already taken the place of the husband (my grand aunt's husband) but the problem now is how they will break the cycle of poverty and make it in life.

The second son went to do boy boy in a man's house. After staying for four years, his stay in the man's house is undecided. He asked the man to take him home so they can have a formal agreement on how long he's going to serve him. This is what people do after just one year of being with the oga.

The request made the man to flare up and started accusing the guy of stealing from him and not doing anything. That's how he was sent packing after wasting four years of his life serving the man.

The uncle who is the only person that could speak for him is an efulefu so no hope. People take advantage of such people sadly.

As at now, that guy is driving Keke in Lagos, is that how he wants to be a billionaire? None of them went pass SSCE so breaking the chain of poverty is really going to be difficult for them.

Mindlog:
@PuZZyNegro, where is the surviving son of your grand aunt's wife? Being an acceptable practice back then, that son has the right to inherit because your grand aunt married his mother in the name of her late husband and the children by the wife bears the man's name.

Many communities in igboland practiced it before Christainity influenced the abandonement of such practice. Even many communities in East Africa practice it.

The surviving son is married with children and they're all living in the same house. The case of inheritance is no longer a problem as there are too many males now.

Sadly, the surviving son does not have what it takes to take care of his nephews and nieces.

The mother was doing that before her sudden death.

..

If this your story na comprehension passage for exam, walai, man pikin don fail be that..

I was precise enough I think

At least, I was putting explanations in bracket to further clarify whatever that might cause difficulty in comprehension.

pozehnani:
Your grandaunt caused all these.
Why would she go and marry a girl and make her to start sleeping with random men just to give her children. Now the wife has given her wayward children who has now continued in her mothers steps.

These wrong practices of old is the reason the society is filled with so much immorality today. And leaves one wondering if some people were birthed by normal parents. Now I know better.

Who are their fathers since your grandaunt couldn't perform the role of a father she took up.

See if you guys can at least locate the biological father of those children and send them there. That's their roots.

Well, this thing happened in the 70's. It's an obsolete practice just like killing of twins and other archaic barbaric practices of old.

Technology has made it possible for there to be IVF, legal adoption, etc., that couples can explore to have their own child(ren) without involving a third party (a second wife).

I know you read that headline two times thinking maybe you read wrong or the poster made some typo error.

You did not! I just lost my grand aunt's wife late last week after a brief illness.

Who is my grand aunt? My mother's father's sister (my maternal grandfather's sister). She got married and lived for several years without a child before her husband died.

Being a traditionist, she got married to a girl that conceived out of wedlock as obtainable in those days.

The woman bore her three children, two boys and a girl. She lost one of the boys leaving her with a boy and a girl.

Some years later, the girl conceived out of wedlock and gave birth to a boy. Before we know it, she conceived again and again until she had three sons out of wedlock without pointing any man as the father of those children. She later lost one of the boys leaving her with two children.

This girl abandoned these two children for my grandaunt and her mother (my grandaunt's wife) and ran away from home.

Nobody saw her nor heard anything about her for several years. Then all of a sudden, this woman surfaced with four additional children, three girls and one boy, Making it a total of six surviving children without a single father figure.

We thought she has retired from prostitution and has come home to train her children but we were wrong.

This lady later abandoned these children again and disappeared. The youngest of them was just two years old.

My grandaunt and her wife started taking care of these children until my grandaunt died about five years ago. She was over 100 years old before her death.

We just got the news that the wife who's taking care of her grand children just passed away last week.

Now, those children don't have anywhere to go. No father's side since my grandaunt's other family members never want them because they deprived them the chance to inherit her late husband's lands.

Their mother is nowhere to be found.

My family people are saying those guys are not related to them by blood (something I found offensive because if they were adopted, that doesn't make them less the children and grandchildren of my late aunt).

Only God knows what will become of those children now.

The eldest son should be around 25 years, and you know how difficult things are for people with their both parents supporting them how much more someone that lacks both. The guy is just trying to survive, likewise his immediate younger brother (those first two their mother gave birth to).

The eldest sister should be around 19. The second daughter that is 17 is already having suitors coming for her hand in marriage.

People were of the opinion that she should marry before she follows the path of her mother and grandmother.

I thought they said that the love a mother has for her child(ren) is the greatest after agape love. How then will a woman be giving birth to children and abandoning them anyhow without care.

It's been over 8 years she dumped those children without ever reaching out to them to know if and how they are surviving. Does prostitution kill the compassionate side of a lady?

I need opinions!!!

Prepaid is better.

We use just one prepaid in our entire compound and the 60k we sub last month is still on till now.

In my apartment alone, I use AC, electric stove, freezer, and electric Iron.

My neighbors use AC too plus only God knows the other heavy appliances they use in house.

The only thing that you can use without being at home is your freezer and fridge.

Easter will make it four years that I lost my mother but it's just like yesterday.

The pain is everlasting, sadly, and no death will ever move you again because you have experienced the worst.

To me, the next most devastating death will be my own death because none can seem as terrible as when I lost my mother.

Neverlosemoney:
Wa
Wait ooooo, you wan change dollar to naira at the rate of #1,104 per dollar , who go choose to do that deal except for a thief

I saw that advert too on Binance when I wanted to show a friend how to convert the coins to naira. I couldn't understand it as it made me confused on what exactly I was teaching the person was wrong but I just passed.


The other buyers there had normal rate but the guy. Let me see if I can still see his ad.

His is no longer there but see that number one spot and look at his completion rate

condomuser:
Like how much was it that gave you 23 dollar profit?
I put in $440, bought at $239 and sold at $257 with $10 profit .
Everytime I try to sell, selling via Binance offers less compared to selling via p2p.
Also, do u sell via p2p?

I bought bnb and dot at the same time. My portfolio was $344 as at this morning.

I used 25% to buy dot and the remaining to buy bnb.

Dot was very sluggish that I couldn't even calculate what I got from it but I sold it together with my bnb and my total portfolio now is $367

I trade in the market so have no business with P2P at this time.

AirBay:
BNB now at 263. Pulling out after $105 profit for the day.

I entered at $243 and sold at $260 and while at it, I watched the thing reached $265 before pulling back.

I trade with small amount so was only able to make $23

dreaizy:
What if he doesn't like big phones, bro? Look at what he said about laptops. The latest core i5, i7 or i9s today costs between 400k to millions of naira. I also think people should enjoy their money but the way they enjoy it is up to them.

Correct, but you and I know that the value a phone selling less than 50k has can never be enough to even manage. Haba.

When you do a small thing, your phone memory is already full. When you snap pictures, the camera quality is poor, etc., even good tecno phone sells for 80k+ and those are still regarded as below average phones. Let's be factual.


It's like saying someone built a very big and expensive house but driving a rickety car. They don't work together bro. Yes, people should enjoy their money the way they want but there's minimum in everything.


Make person no go be okpa akpu eri eri

AtoningBlood:
Congrats!

You are lucky to have discovered freelancing early. Please, be careful, don't ever feel to have arrived, look up daily. Keep investing in your career, go for trainings. Spend your earnings on trainings, its time to invest in your career life than on any latest phone.

I don't start early but I bless God for how far He has led me, I still don't have an iPhone, i still don't buy a phone worth 100k, naaa not even 50k phone, cos I don't need them for my career, but my laptop is always new and latest. I go for courses worth over 500k. I make over 1M monthly, I don't show off, I don't buy liabilities. I never still reach there, people close to me make more, like moreee, so I keep myself under to get more.

Except you need an iPhone or other expensive phones for business, don't go for them now. You also need to learn money management at this age, you will never regret doing so. Learn when to say no to pressure, learn when to be alone and study, learn to keep good friends, no for show off.

Live for a reason, write your goals down and pursue them, do not allow life and its events dictate your path. The skye is not even your limits if you guide your life with all due diligence.

Another thing is, be humble and obey your parent. Submit totally to God's will.

May you continue to excel.

You can't buy a phone of 50k even when you earn a million every month? This one loud ooo.

That one wants to live a low profile life doesn't mean you have to punish yourself na. We make money to spend it, nobody carries money to the grave.

Hope you own a car? Don't tell me you don't!

How many gig ram will a phone that sells below 50k have?

Bro, eat your money while you are still alive and healthy. You deserve a decent apartment and car, good clothes and girlfriend

That advice I gave that young man is because of his age and he's just a starter.

Ronzy1990:
I get one wey I dey contemplate to give out. That is why I dey find how Una dey do the agreement before the person give the car.

What about someone that lives on the island?

This is the real MBA
