Rats now know you as "The Ice Man".

If that will make them to leave me alone


HAHAHA

fk001:
So white people also bred like that?

17 children? What the heck.

Just to be on front page, you'll failed to read the body of the post that most of the kids were adopted. Even the pictures should suggest to you that one person cannot bred all that

What a horrible way to die.

Op, please remind me never to mess with the last pack of cornflakes you have.

Last pack? It is the ONLY pack


HAHAHA

Lol.. Na savages like me dey here .



You know these days when you hit a rat, they don't exactly die instantly.
Feels like they gave gotten smarter and now very good at playing dead..


So I saw this one and I hit it with a broom.
It fell, didn't move . Just laid there acting lifeless. For my mind, Was like I got the motherfvcker ..

Left it there and went back to doing my chores .. In an our the mf was up trying to escape .. Me was confused .. Said to myself " did this rat just come back from dead, is it the endtime already " .. Shiit got me a lil bit scared .

Picked up the broom again and gave it another hit .. It went lifeless again, left it and watch if the same thing was gonna happen again .

Alas it did happen again .. This time it dawned on me that maybe the rat kinds of pass out whenever I hit and don't die.

Well I continued that cycle till it eventually died because I kept hitting it harder each time it resurrects..

Mann it was really fun.

Rats are some smart ass rodents. From childbirth, they are already equipped with survival techniques.

The one that pain me the most is charging at me. They will just come to you with full force and your reflex action will be to withdraw your leg and then they are gone

TheSourcerer:
you only killed it but you did not enjoy its passing , enjoy the kill.

Hehehe bro, teach me how to enjoy the peaceful/painful transition of Mr. Rat

hallelujah

Amen somebody

So, there's this small rat that has been playing hide and seek with me.

I have made several attempts to kill it but it always finds a way to meander and escape from me.

I feel helpless seeing this rat get away each time I try to kill it.

Then it happened one evening around 7pm. I managed to buy Nasco cornflakes in this lock down period and the wicked rat still insists I cannot keep it in my house in peace.

I kept the cornflakes beside my freezer and within few minutes, I started hearing some funny noise inside the nylon. I knew then that my uninvited visitor has come.

I didn't want the hide and seek no more. If I decide to let it out to kill it, it might still escape. So, I remembered the saying "There are many ways to kill a rat".

So, I just opened my freezer, packed the cornflakes with the nylon and closed it.

Your guess is as good as mine. My sweet frenemy escaped from the nylon and ran under my plate of soup to take cover, not knowing that that part of the freezer is even colder than where I left it.

Good news: The rat died happily ever after


Somebody shout "Alleluia"

joey150:
I'm in the writing niche, and honestly I never use buyers request. 98% of my sales have been from direct messaging or social media. However, Fiverr has relegated my gig, and not just me, a few other top sellers too, we are all languishing way down the pecking order.

Also, I have better leverage when the customer comes to me, I'm not afraid to state my price and most times they always match it or we settle for something fair.

Again, I agree. It's dependent on niche. But imagine somebody posting a request for 5000 words and their budget is $10. I'm not even interested. I went there today and I just laughed my way out.

I have other talents that I may consider adding to Fiverr soon. Writing is just what I can combine with my normal life and job, plus for me it's super easy!

But buyers request is a waste of time for serious sellers in the writing niche. And I'm sure serious buyers (in my niche) don't post anything there either.

Glad you understand the point that I made. I started with article writing before moving into another niche and now I have my article writing gig paused (not deleted) to preserve my reviews from the gig.

Funnily, somebody will accept that offer. I use to wonder how Indians and Pakistanis do it.

A service I render for $250, an Indian will comfortably put his gig for $70 and may even have more services added to it.

My current service is much more flexible than article writing I must confess.

joey150:
I hate that Buyer Request...even now that sales are a little slow, I just can't bring myself to use it.

The one reason I preferr Fiverr to Upwork is that I don't always have to bid for jobs.

Can't be begging Indians on top $10 jobs where they will be demanding for heaven and earth.

I laugh in Swahili


I may disagree with you bro. I sometimes prefer buyer requests than direct gig messages for the following reasons.

1. You select the requests that you send offers
2. You put your price in the bid
3. Receiving message here means you have passed 50% of the test. If you are able to convince the buyer any further with your replies and samples, you will get the job
4. It helps to boost a dying gig
5. This is actually the best place to use to gain reviews instead of buying. Just offer a lower price and over deliver


Disadvantages of having your gig on front page
1. Some buyers don't read the gig description. That's why there have been cases of cancelation due to ordering the wrong service
2. Same as one, a buyer will contact you and will be asking you to provide your premium service for the price of the basic because that's what they see when they click on your gig
3. Spam messages. One of my gigs is currently on the front page. 3 out of every 5 messages is spam. This reduces conversion rate until you gig eventually disappears from the front page.


Although, having your gig on the front page means more sales, less stress in seeking for jobs but I must tell you that buyers request still remains one of the best reasons I will hardly quit fiverr.


All you need to do is to master it and you will enjoy it. I feel lazy waiting for direct messages only.

I do fiverr full time so don't mind me

MODIFIED

After reading what Mr. Physics wrote up there, I have come to realize that buyer request is more effective for some gigs than others.

For example, anybody offering article writing, data entry, and all those services that people use to start freelancing is on a long thing sending offer.

I currently have a data entry gig but it is there for decoration. I hardly send offer for data entry service no matter how juicy it is.

Reason being that, before you type Jack Robinson, the offers are already 89. The buyer might put $50 and people will send offer of $20 just to win the bid. The competition is too fierce and unhealthy.

So, if you offer such service that before you can finish sending offer to one request, the others are already filled up, please disregard the buyer request page and buy reviews to rank your gig, you need it

MrBrownJay1:
the issue is certainly not about what the OP cant do (especially not in these difficult covid-19 times), it is about the fact that he is doing everything he possibly can, and instead of being grateful, they are still trying to have him do miracles. what do they expect' that he goes do armed robbery to satisfy them?!



believing that 2 adult having unprotected sex is the responsibility of a man ONLY...getting pregnant is the responsibility of a man ONLY, giving birth is the responsibility of a man ONLY, is the reason why you will have any valid reasoning on this issue. they are BOTH to be blamed for having a child and BOTH responsible.



....ok, and what has this got to do with a man AND a woman having unprotected sex?



ARRANT NONSENSE!!!! nobody dating a babe should borrow money to raise a child...LAI LAI!!!!
they should BOTH do what they can to raise that child properly. basta!



the fact that you believe that women should be taken care of, is the reason why so many deluded useless woman think that a man should go do whatever nonsense to buy them whatever they desire. a man should buy what he can, and not a gram more....

Get a woman pregnant abroad and tell the court that both of you had unprotected sex so it's a dual responsibility.

If his best is not good enough, he needs to try harder. He should live with the consequences of his actions.

EOD

MrBrownJay1:
useless woman
useless sister
useless friends
useless family

...and if you play into their useless tricks, they will turn you into a useless man!

forget about these people since they believe that you should go and rob banks to satisfy their nonsense. you can never win with useless people like that.

But the girl is not asking for a car. She only requested for diapers which is a necessity to the survival of the baby. I am surprised you omitted the poster in the list of *useless*

When Op was forming fine boy and na them dey rush me, he wasn't aware of the responsibilities.

In Igbo, they say that a child that has the mind to swallow the seed of African star apple should have the mind to defecate it.

Op should borrow and send money to that girl, he's the man and it's his responsibility.

When all these small girls will be following guys that cannot take care of themselves

ifepat:
kindly private chat me on the price sir . Thanks

Business without transparency. Why not state the price for one carton here? Why does it have to be a private chat discussion

Dead on arrival

frozen70:
You did not mention the amount involve

You didn't tell us how good and reliable he is

You don't know if he lives a modest or dirty life

One tenth of your salary is enough to use as sacrifice for the sake of your relationship

I will say give him, since it's just one tenth

But bear the following in mind, if he gets himself and give you back, good for you

If he doesn't give it back to you and is nit making any effort or feeling remorse about it, good for you too, do you know why ❓

He won't come again and if he does, don't ever give him another chance, even if it means using it to buy the last ventilator

As you are giving him, consider it a 50/50

You got the point.


Op should loan if he can afford to let go of the money.

But should the friend betray his trust, that money should be used as a settlement for being a wonderful friend all along.

I don't like what I hate

asapeola:
Lol! U sef see am? He didn't even stop at just lending the friend money, our chief accountant said the OP should forfeit even 50% of the loan!!! Maybe he's the friend in question

I don't know that people can be really this nice


LOL

obisite:
Those advice I've seen up there are not pretentious or unrealistic as said..

Ever heard of "never lend any amount you can't over look to someone if he/she don't pay"


Friendship comes with responsibility...
Of what importance is my friendship with someone if that person can't be of help to me when I'm in need..


Those advice up there are just mere common sense.. Reasoning

Op stated 10% of his life savings is involved here. So, his question is whether to or not to considering the percentage of the amount to his total savings.

So, advising him to loan the money and pretend like he never lent the money to his friend and count himself lucky if the said friend later pays is equal to advising him not to loan the money to his friend at all.

Who in his right senses will loan someone 10% of his life savings when the probability of repayment is very low.

Sorry, I am an economist. Risk is one of the major determinant of remuneration

nobone:
You've said it all. I'll add that if you can make up your mind to forfeit that money, it'll be nice. Like, if he refunds me... Fine! If he doesn't refund me... Fine still! I'll do same if I were to be you. God bless you

Wow, people can be so good on the internet.

So, you mean if the poster has 1 million naira and lend 100k to his friend, he should not bother if the friend doesn't pay up, or should tell his friend to pay 50k as the other person suggested, how nice can humanity be.


90% of advices here are unrealistic and pretentious.


Be sincere, how much have you given to charity since this year?

Op, lend your friend the money but let him understand that the continuation of your friendship lies on if he pays back the money. A friend that will borrow money without paying back does not value your friendship and feelings

Something is about to Happen!!!

Something that will make the world catch cold will soon happen.

It's one minute to twelve...

I saw that even most of our so-called pastors missed the Rapture.

People left their Estate, vehicles, businesses, marriages and run here and there.

I have seen it up to 5 times now. I missed it up to 4 times because I refused to do His work.

Jesus visited me and asked me to go and preach His word.

Our Yahoo Yahoo pastors will cry that day.
Those wearing Jezebel materials(Wig, attachments, make-up, necklace, earrings, nails) will miss it.

Please, stop buying things from the church or pay money for prayers or else you will perish with that so- called pastor.

You're seed can't save You. Your pastor can't save.... Except Holiness

Why did you wait until now to bring up your prophecy?

Even in the year 2000, it was rumored that the world would come to an end. People sold off their properties awaiting the end time.


This is 2020

STAY WOKE

kennybabs1980:
I dated her while in the university, she was a very nice girl. She got another man while I was still hustling around looking for jobs, so we couldn't get married. We actually discussed then and I released her to go and marry because she is my age mate, we were born same year and I wouldn't want to ask her to continue waiting while I continue to hustle. I married 4 years after her. We have been friends on Facebook since 2010 and there's nothing unusual between us. She live in Ibadan with her family while I live in Akure. In January 2020 she asked me to assist her financially to meet certain personal obligation which her hubby couldn't meet because his business isn't doing well of late, she said she'll need the money by end of February and that it's I who she had in mind that could be of help. I promised to do something before the time. She didn't tell me the details of what she wanted to do with the money. Mid February, I was able to sell off 2 plots of land I bought some years ago, In have been trying to sell of the plots without success for sometime. I transferred something tangible to her account which she appreciated so much. Last week in February, I saw a lot of pictures of people in beautiful dresses on Facebook and Instagram. It was a big birthday party for her hubby. I just wrote congratulations. One thing with me is that I hate spending money on parties, I'll rather give it to people around me or invest in buying land.
She later chatted with me on messenger and informed me that I made the birthday party happen, that she used the money I gave her to organize a surprise party for her hubby. I was so amazed.
Why did she have to tell me she used the money I gave her for the party?
Why did she had to seriously beg me for such money?
Where will she tell her hubby she for the money from?
Why didn't she tell me what she wanted to use the money for?

Did you study economics in school?

[quote author=Mavis3 post=88132495][/quote]Sadly, it is what it is. Women are always at the receiving end when it comes to marriage.

If you were the one that got pregnant from another man, I am sure you would have been sent to your father's house with your luggages with immediate effect.

Now, people are advising that you forgive and accept the child to come live with you forgetting that the child will daily be reminding you of the betrayal by your husband.

If your heart is large enough, you can forgive.

If you have money, you can go for IVF again. It doesn't always work at the first try. That it failed the first time does not mean it will never work

Mavis3:
I am just so bitter and angry that I can't even pray anymore.

Your husband is EVIL. let's call a spade a spade. He is in a marriage union with you and yet dating another woman outside.

Trust me, this is a perfect plan. He intentionally got the lady pregnant due to your inability to conceive.

His next request will be to beg you to allow the lady to come live with you and then you have a co-wife.

Just prepare yourself for the worst.

My sister did IVF three times and they all failed. She did the fourth one and it worked.

If your husband truly loves you, he will not stab you with this type of action.

If you were my sister, my advice to you would be to leave the fucking marriage. It doesn't worth it.

THE MAN IS A USELESS THING.

This is paining me as much as it is paining you because my sisters have been in this type of situation and only God knows how bad I will feel if any of the husbands get a lady pregnant outside.

Things that involve giving birth can easily be sort out by couples due to advancement in technology.

No excuse for extramarital affairs. Once again, tell your husband I HATE HIM FOR BETRAYING YOUR MARITAL VOW.

There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Just be sure to take your medications. Many people I know have glaucoma and don’t even know they have it. They just take their medications for “eye problem” and for nearly 20 years now.
I am astounded at the comments made on here.

Wow, I'm just knowing that glaucoma patients are always on drugs like HIV patients. I use to think it's a normal eye problem like myopia that requires just an eye glasses and you are fine

If you aren't going to be using your car during this lock down period, park it in a safe place and remove the battery head. This is because when a car is parked for a long time, the battery will drain and the car will not start when you are back at it.

Before the lock down, I can stay one week without driving my car. Unless that car is never in good condition. Two weeks of not driving the car should never make the battery to run down. If handbrake is engaged where the car is not in a sloppy area, it's as good as not engaging it as such, there's no pressure on the brake

asapeola:
There is a pattern here with the boy's character. From stubborness (which is just a mild term for a delinquent) to rape. She knows the boy is alrdy hardened and like someone rightly said above that the boy has joined bad gang, but she's forming ostrich. In her warped mind, its only rape but she also deeply knows the boy has now graduated to a criminal. That boy if not handled by the law will definitely come back to haunt her. He would definitely move to armed robbery and kidnapping. Where else to test skills than ur sister's whose husband is not even in town! Its really nauseating!!

It's better the guy commits crime outside and get arrested than for her sister to hand him over to the police.

You all are forming righteous now because you're not the ones involved.

Theclaaa:
Thank you for all the comments , I totally agree with what you are all saying , I will let him go after lockdown , he will go and stay in church for counselling and deliverance, right now he have nowhere to go , I don’t want him to be in the streets to be infected with this deadly disease ( corona)

Send him away but don't get him arrested. Forget nairaland hypocrites. As if they would easily get their blood brother arrested for such crime. Something you would plead with outsiders not to involve the police if you can, it is now for you to hand your brother to be tried and jailed for years.


My advice is for you to send your brother away and make sure he never stays alone with underage children

2.9m

This car cannot be used for personal / family car. It still is small for use as inter state as it would contain lesser people than hummer bus.

2.9m means it needs to work on a high way transportation to recover cost of purchase.

This product is uncommon.

Really, you should have made your research before importing this type of car
