misspeters:
You're referring to a mother who have been single handedly taking care of her son. It's not easy at all.

You have to work. What if the father is dead? Will you go and dump the child on his grave?

There's a reason they are called dead-beat fathers. You have to assume them dead and take care of your child.

There are widows with much more children taking care of them all.

You have tried but you need to do better

I'm really surprised that you carry block at 7 kobo per block. When I did my fence in the village, those guys were charging me 15 naira per block to just carry it from where they molded it to the site which is a stone throw.

So, maybe you need to change location of work.

You are in this position today because you choose to live on the fast lane. Little money entered your hand and instead of investing it, you felt the right thing to do is to get married.

Again, you have not tangible achievement in Nigeria but want to travel abroad in search of greener pasture. When they say that the devil you know is better than the one you don't know, it was not a riddle.

People should learn to have a backup in whatever they do. You don't sell all you have because you want to travel abroad with too many uncertainties.

I know the deed has been done, but I always let people know that the things that come to you in life are 80% of the choices that you make.

You have to find a way to leave the kids with your neighbors to go and hustle because no real hustle can take place with those kids with you.

I finished secondary school around the same year that you dropped out, went to university, now working but yet, the thought of marriage is still far from me.

Women are not running away neither are they finishing on earth. I wonder why some men are in a rush and feel accomplished carrying women so early.

Import duty on cars reduced.

Corolla to be selling for 900k tokumbo

Chrisbella24:
Like 10years ba?

Why will you use a pillow for more than a year?
What if it gets infected by bugs and all?

3 years minimum.

Don't live in a bug infested apartment. I need something that will give me good sleeping posture and not something that will cause me neck pain after sleeping on it.

Dong2:
We do. Price is 5k per 1 pillow. With 1year guarantee. WhatsApp no is 07032099242

1 year is short bro. I need something with reliable quality.

Oduduwaboy1:
Try vitaform

I will try them. Mouka form is really terrible.

Good thing is that I'm not using their Bed

Thank you

I just wasted my 4500 buying two Mouka pillows thinking I was getting quality pillows.

Less than one week after, they two pillows have fallen drastically.

This is annoying.

Please, anyone know any company that makes good quality pillows?

The truth is, this life is not balanced.

You advise ladies to marry on time when men are very much interested in them and the outcome is a marriage where the woman does not have an input because she cannot foot her bills. You know that money acts as a form of control.

When you advise that they should finish school, get a job and be successful in their careers before getting married to avoid being played by the husband, the outcome is a woman in her late 20s that the only thing that matters to her is to get married. Desperation sets in.

So, there's no one best way to doing these things.


In a different view, I noticed that men before now travel to the village to get a wife. Lately, no one wants to stay in the village. Once a girl finishes her secondary school or university, the next thing is to look for a relative that lives in the city to hang with.


This has increased the rate of single ladies that are not getting married.

Most eligible men for marriage are those guys that left school to go hustle for business. They are not in the university. They don't have time to approach you in the church.

They are most likely to look out for wives in the village during festive periods.

So, if you are a single lady ready for marriage and you are reading this, please, travel to your village and spend some time there.

Some men find it difficult looking for wives in the city due to obvious reasons. Either the beautiful girl is not from the state they can marry, or have a different religion, etc.

Someone may want to argue that village girls open eyes more than the city girls, but sincerely, most men especially the business guys till today still believe that marrying a woman from the village provides better marriage than a girl you met in the city.

nathabide:
To everyone reading this.

With great respect and honour I salute every married individual and intending couple in this great forum.

Its been said that if your being quiet cannot help, then speak up and get help. I'm a quiet person sort of but at this junction I cant keep quiet no more. I NEED YOUR HELP at least to secure an accommodation for my family with any amount God is laying into your heart.

I am an active member of this forum even though I have to create another account for this purpose for personality sake. I am a young man with a humble beginning. I worked hard by the help of God to be self-sufficient of which I have not been privileged to seek help even though I like to help when opportunity comes and I do it with delight and joy with the consciousness that I'm doing it for God and that I may need help someday, not knowing that it will come sooner than I expected.

I'm married with 2 kids, a boy and a girl (step daughter) so to say because I married my wife as a single mother and I love her for who she is and right now she's (8 month) pregnant with my own second baby which will bring the total number to 3. Presently she's down emotionally because of the situation at hand needing your help.

Since we got married in the year 2015, we have not been staying together. She stays in Lagos with her mother helping her with the kids while she goes to work being a professional teacher. Most of my time I travelled as far as Middle-Belt to North to earn a living, taking care of my family and I can tell categorically that my boy didn't know his dad because of the nature of my hussle. Last year December, my wife decided to resign her job to come and stay with me in Ogun state and to bond with my boy since I have become a daddy only on phone. We changed school for both of them hoping that by the nature of my wife's profession (a teacher) she can get job easily. She tried all through January to get a job but to no avail, February gone and in March pandemic struck. I was to travel by same March but no thanks to Corona virus outbreak.

Now the main point. Our house rent expired September 2020. Since I couldn't travel, there is no way I could raise funds. I explained to the landlord that he should exercise patience with me promising him that I will pay as soon as I start my travelling and he said Ok with assurance. Two weeks ago, the landlord sent me a message that we should pack out and that he wants to make use of his house. I felt bad and dejected having no where to go.

Just January this year, I enrolled my boy and the girl in new school which costs over N120,000, Corona struck in March and have expended almost all I had on feedings and helping those I have capacity to help. Now, we are expecting our baby in a months time, landlord said we should pack out, we have no where to pack to and I can't tell my wife to go back to her mother's house because of the children school. I have gone around to look for a cheaper house and the prices I'm getting is beyond my power as I speak (N200,000) without agent fee. I have looked here and there both in bank and elsewhere and I was able to raise N60,000 which is nothing compared to what is required. I am yet to buy baby things which the hospital is now requesting for, the hospital bills after delivery is no where in sight and I cant leave her in this condition to travel and hussle at this point. Also, the education of the two innocent kids and a load lots of things which I just have to cut short.

Based on the above, I am passionately soliciting for your help no matter how small. Any amount God is laying into your heart help me with to get my family at least a roof under our head and where my wife can enter as soon as she give birth next month before I start mu hussle back

Please HELP!

No amount is too small.

God bless you all

Family section = begging section.


I wonder why 90% of nairaland beggers are Yorubas.

GreatCracker:
sorry to ask this question, I would like to know the site and shipping company you used in buying and shipping your car to Nigeria.

I bought from Copart and shipped using sallaumlines


https://sallaumlines.com/

https://www.copart.com/

Blackbishop:
Bro let it slide.

I have bro. He took the car from my house on Sunday and brought it back on Friday that same week and the car was already sounding like a trailer.

Exhaust has been broken, front and back bumper scattered. I had to take the car to my mechanic to start fixing after which I warned my brother that this is not how I will continue, but here we are.

I would have collected the car that day if it were somebody else.

The only thing I did is to keep the original copies of the car document, so he doesn't sell it at my back without my knowing.

pope191:
For the better part of living, u don't run business with family, only in few case things turn out well and in a case like this, u want to help him I guess, not business partners. For this reason, here is a free advice, but won't mind a bottle of wine for saving you this stress... Gift him 500k by giving him a target to raise 150/200k and if u can give him 700k out of 1.8m, fine! 700k will get a nice clean civic 2004 that can help a serious mind folk to start being dependent enough to solve minor life issues(if he cant manage little, he still wont b able to manage much). Take this from me, this way u save yourself from family issue, bitter enmity for years that may pass to the children, losing all d 1.8 plus registration and fixing money.

We honestly can't help who we love, we can only do our little part and as d saying goes "heaven help those who help them self". If ppl on renting and HP is doing 20/25, even some did 10k and still have issues, then that person that knows u when u r nothing, that see's u when u were wearing pant, while using stick to roll tyre around during your childhood days, may take you for granted on a full scale and expect u to understand for the sake of maaaamaa. The ball is in it court

I am actually in this type of situation right now. My own case is even worse because he is my elder brother with many years apart, married with children.

I got him a 2003 Toyota Sienna to use for transportation since March, 2020.

Agreement was for him to pay me the cost of buying the car only.

That car cost me nothing less than 1.9 million including registration and obtaining all the papers he needs to drive.

As at today, I have only received 300k from March till now.

First, he started with paying lesser amount than we agreed he would be paying monthly and only paid for just four months and that was it.

It's the third month that I have received zero naira from him. It is now one story or another.

I have just decided to count my losses and move on. I knew it would get to this because friends and colleagues warned me but I had to do what I can do for a brother.

My thought is that the story will start when he must have paid at least one million. I never knew it will be this early. A clean Tokumbo car that I bought by myself and shipped to Nigeria.

Sometimes we got to do what we can do to absolve ourselves of blames.

Here's the car when I bought it

solreb:
He chose to pay the small ones (N60k and co). Mine is N750k in 3 places being owed since Nov 3rd.

This is a clear evidence that you are never an investor.

Before now, you can never own more than one investment in MBA.

With the introduction of the two different packages, you are only allowed to own a maximum of two investments.

So, how are they owing you three different monthly ROI?


Liar!

Duke111:
What is happening today oo? With all the surge no trip right here in the middle of surulere. Just as i was thinking one korope just bash my car, i just confused as i come down like dis eeh d guy start to beg in the name of God. Please Brethren wat should i do now?

Collect money for damages. Those korope drivers are so reckless and stupidly daring especially if they see that you are driving a corolla or a car they consider less expensive.

That's how one chased me to go and hit ambulance carrying corpse. Don't let his begging deceive you. He wouldn't accept begging if you were the one that hit him.


People need to start accepting responsibility for their carelessness. He didn't see you before hitting you?

Ishiewo:
Chai!! Which means no hope for me, because I'm already in 100 level

Don't be discouraged. I studied Economics Education and most of my colleagues that studied pure Economics under social science are well employed.

Some are working as full staff bankers.

The only savior you will have studying Economics is to graduate with a minimum of second class upper division (non negotiable) and also graduate and finish youth service at most 24 years old.


These two factors (class of degree and age) play a great role in your ability to find job after graduating with Economics degree.

Other factors involve knowing people and having the ability (finance) to buy job slot.

Before you ask, I am self employed and earn x3 or more of what my friend that works with First Bank earns monthly.

This card trip issue is really funny to me. I see it as lack of discipline and planning on the part of the driver.

You get paid weekly so I see no reason why you should not keep money for fuel and other miscellaneous expenses.

I work on Fiverr and it takes 2 weeks after an order has been marked completed for us to get paid.

A job with 30 days delivery will mean that you get paid after 44 days, all things being equal (assuming no revision request and the buyer accepted the job on the day it was delivered).

Now, we have to wait for the funds to accumulate before initiating withdrawal so the money can be tangible.

So, we might have opportunity of withdrawing between 2-3 times in a month depending on how much sales we make daily.

I prefer card trip whenever I am driving on ehailing than cash as there are no issues of change or rider absconding with your money.

Drivers should please learn financial disciple and stop rejecting card trips.

Asking for destination is understandable because of so many factors. One of mine is even not taking a request too far from my house when it's getting late or when I have decided to stop working for the day but just need one more trip closer to my house.

Kingdemu:
E dey leak fuel somewhere. How car wey u no move from 2days ago go reduce fuel by one bar? Even my Nokia 3310 no dey reduce one bar in just 2days. Solution: You need to repaint the car.

No, I think Op needs to change the rear light. I suspect the light when he applied the brake at his parking lot after buying the fuel removed the one bar.

How dare the car do that

The sequence of good testimonials from this company calls for a great concern.


Suddenly, all of you that hardly frequent this section are following each other line by line in giving good testimony about the company

Husband would have been a suspect if the pregnancy occurred after one year of cohabitation

She needed someone to take care of her and the unborn baby. That's being mischievous you know.

Kai! Who doesn't know what it takes to take care of a new born baby.

4/6 (old system)

airsaylongcom:
100% sure that your due date is 26th? If you are in the new plan, Did you get a receipt printed or emailed to you?. The receipt clearly states the Date your investment was confirmed. An investor was at the office yesterday claiming that their due date was 27th and they didn't get an alert. Checks on the system showed their date was actually 23rd. Customer logged into the banking app to see ₦270k ROI sitting pretty in their account. After all the mayhem and threat of "I will bring down this office", customer didn't know how to apologise

I will continue to sing MBA praises till the end of time!

Xbee007:
The beta version was launched in June 2016.
https://forum.fiverr.com/t/fiverr-promoted-gigs/83656

Right but that's just the beta version which lasted for few weeks just for testing purpose. There are several other features Fiverr rolled out that we don't see again after the beta phase.

So, it is safe to say the actual launch is recently. Unless you want to tell me that you know a seller who has been using it since 2016/17 or you have ever seen a promoted gig on Fiverr before now.

Xbee007:
I googled it and it isn't a new feature. It has been around since 2017.

Even on my account, it's having the "new" tag.

Xbee007:
I googled it and it isn't a new feature. It has been around since 2017.

This is a new feature bro. I don't know where you got your info from. Can you provide the link?


Look at this press release dated 20th July, 2020.

Or are you sure we are talking about the same feature?

Dayray93:
Please what's it all about?

I saw your mail. I will answer you here.

It's like Google pay per click ad. You pay Fiverr to feature your gig on the front page. You pay per click on your gig ad.

This is a new feature and is only available to selected sellers. I will snap it on my computer and share here.

They are even offering me some free credit to test the ad but I ain't buying into it yet. At least, not when my gig is still receiving organic traffic.
