I see. I'll try traveling out for a couple of weeks next year to experience what it feels like in other climes

The best thing you can do for your self in your life time. Please travel and explore. Life is not just about, building house, buying cars and having family. Explore to see the beautiful world you are in before you exit this world. As for me, even if I have 1 billion in my account, I will still travel. Because I see no sense in it if I don't. What will I use the millions for? Explore and enjoy life.

Good morning wonderful brothers and sisters here, I trust you are well and healthy.
Please I have been thinking of doing some investment next year 2021 but I have 2 things in mind.
1. Going into Agriculture especially palm plantation
2. Leasing a petrol station and starts selling immediately.
Personally I have chosen the Petrol station business but my source of funding will be through loan that will be acquired from the bank.
Because I am using a loan that's why I need a guide from business professionals here. Thanks
Also for lease of the petrol station, any Idea how much to bargain and how many years to rent it?

Hello sir. How are you doing? I just came across this thread now. Did you later go for the petrol bussiness? I am also considering it sir. Is it a Good venture?

Omo Israel is old o. I was 11 years in 2001. Now I am 33 years. Look at how isreal look in 2001. This guy should be over 40 years now. Even davido his boss should be around 9 years when isreal took this picture. Life lol.

But I am still surprised how they were caught. They wouldn't had used their real accounts to communicate with the victims

Sorry for the long write up my people, I need advice.

My first son has been behaving somehow in our family, as if he's not part of this family...
You and this boy can be in the same house but you might not set your eyes on him once for a whole day. He will be inside his room through out...

He has been telling me that he is currently working on going to rent his own place and live on his own and that if God helps him and he is able to achieve that, He will not have anything to do with our family again and that we will never set eyes on him ever again :[ ...

I would have not been bothered by such statement if it were coming from someone else, I would take it as a bluff. But this my son is someone that normally doesn't call people to check on them, not even us his parents..

When he was in his previous University before he dropped out, this boy can go for months, that is a whole semester stretch without calling anybody to know how you're doing, except you call him or maybe he wants to ask for money for something or school stuff....

We have five children and he is the first, the second and third children are away in University, he and the two last siblings are the only one's with us.. My husband refused him from going to University in a far place instead he gives him transport money to be going to his own University from home everyday...... He and his father don't even talk again except good morning greetings. He is only 21 ohh..

Let me give you guys small back story so that you can understand how all these things started.

My son graduated from secondary school (a boarding school) in 2017 at 16 years old... Initially, he said he wanted to study computer science as he said that was the course he loved and wanted to study. But my husband refused and persuaded him to study pharmacy because he worked at NAFDAC and he saw the way pharmacy graduates were living at his work place and the salary they were recieving. He and one of his chemist friend sweet talked him into going to study the course and I guess it was because he was young then and could not challenge his dad then that was why he gave in....

He wrote JAMB but he did not meet the cut of mark for pharmacy (but I later realised his score was good for computer science then)... No public University was willing to admit him for pharmacy then because his score was not good for the course but due to my husband love for the course and not wanting my son to lose admission that year , he decided to go the way of private University not minding their school fees...Long story cut short, my son got admitted into Madonna University where we were paying 1M naira every year.....After 3 years in the school and in 300L @18 years old, he began saying he was not interested in the school any longer, that he was tired of the course, that he's body is no longer in the school and blablabla that he wants to go and play football in Europe...

He came back for holiday during the beginning of covid and refused to go back to the school when they resumed, saying that he was only wasting our money by being in that school and he did not want to continue.....This got my husband really sad and angry....My son stayed home for almost two years doing nothing because my husband was adamant that if he would not go back to school, nothing for him, that all the money he has spent for school fees in that school can not be for waste that he can become a footballer after he graduates, saying no one can become a successful footballer without being a graduate, that it would later affect them in life...

But my son refused. I must confess, my son is extremely good at playing football. That was the talent i can confidently say that God personally gave to him from birth. Infact when he was graduating from secondary school, they gave him the award for the best graduating footballer and he was always the centre of attention anytime he plays at our church events. He friends used to call him "nima" then, I think...

I and my husband got tired of him staying at home for long so I went to meet with one pastor in our street who was based in the UK with his family but comes home sometimes for church related matters. I explained my son's situation to him and he offered to help my son travel out to chase his football career provided we have the funds for it. The man was secondary school class mates with "victor ikpe ekong" who was a former super eagles player but currently a pastor in Sweden. To my greatest surprise he called him on a WhatsApp video call in my presence and i was really surprised...He gave me the man's phone number to keep in contact and also scheduled a day to meet with my husband and have a discussion.. I told my son and he was very happy..I also told my husband and he was eager to meet with him at least, anything to solve my sons idleness at the time..

The pastor came to my our house on several occasions and discussed with my husband. My husband kept telling the pastor, saying he would like my son to be going to school while chasing his football career at the same time, a feat which pastor let us know would be difficult as one has to be dropped for the other. Unfortunately, my husband changed he's mind and said he was no longer interested in the whole footballer thing. He said he knew that my son wanted to become a footballer only because of girls. That he, my son knew that if he becomes a footballer, all the girls would like him, that that was the only reason he wanted to become a footballer, and that if football was his true destiny, he doesn't need to travel out for it to manifest, that he can be in Nigeria and make it from here.....That was how that chapter close like that. Pastor left for England few months after.....

After years of my son staying at home, my husband got tired. One night, he hired some Street thugs to come take my son away and beat him up...my son stayed with them for 2 weeks. When he returned, he said he was ready to go back to school. But my husband told him he won't be going back to any private University again. My son wrote jamb again to study computer science and was admitted into COOU. but my said he would not allow him go to any University that is not in the same state we are residing. Now the problem here was that all the public schools in the state we are staying will not accept you to study computer science unless you did chemistry in jamb. And my son did not do chemistry in jamb because he is not good in chemistry. If he was to study in the same state we were staying, he had to settle for another course, which he did...Now another problem arose. My husband refused to rent an apartment for my son around the school because the school is considerably far from our house, instead he decided to be giving him money (2000) everyday as transport fare to be going from home. This did not sit down well with my the boy and he again, said he was no longer interested in schooling again sef that he can't be going such far distance from home to the school everyday to study a Course he does not even like siting that it would be stressful and affect his academics and that it was unwise to be paying 60k a year as school fees while you spend 2k everyday as transport..My husband got angry and called on our estate CSO to come pick him up. They beat him so badly in public that when he got back home later in the evening, I went to check him in his room, his buttocks and back where scarred and red with huge marks...

Ever since, he has been going to the school from home and he has become very distant from us especially his dad. They don't talk again in the same house except "good morning sir"...

My son has turned into something else. He can stay indoors from morning till night. I would have said he has started keeping bad company but he does not even have a single friend, not one..Nobody calls him, and he doesn't call anybody...I have five children and he is the first. The second and third already gained admission this year in a private University and are in school currently, so he and he's last two siblings are the only one's with us now..

Why I'm writing this is because I'm scared..I'm beginning to fear that my son might commit suicide, he's beginning to show that kind of attitude.. And the plans he have to leave us forever to go and stay alone, I don't like it ohhhh...

Nairalanders please I need your advice.

That boy would had been a very Great source of Joy to you and the family, if only your husband had allowed him to chase his dreams. You stated it there your self that the boy was very happy when he heard the pastor was arranging the travel to Europe. I think as a mother you are failing this boy . You are not fighting enough for him. Are you scared of your husband? I pray you both don't regret this later. We that study professional courses that came out we good grades what is the end result? Do you know the billions those footballers make every year? I don't know how rich your husband is, but he is not as rich as the youngest professional footballer in Europe. It's not too late, stand up for this boy, don't let him continue to grow with that truama. He is is traumatized and Depressed. You guys have the resources to make his dream come true, but you all taking it for granted. Many talented footballers outside their looking God who will sponsor them to Europe. Your Husband has failed him. He is not doing the Fatherly Duty right. I am already raining money to send my son to a football academy at a very tender age. The world is revolving. Tell your husband to wake up.

If you like hate this Guy.. na your family problem. Nigga is Good. He is street. He is a Star.
I love and respect him

But how come he was caught? After collecting 70k dollars? I thought they can never catch anyone doing scam from Nigeria

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-65015489

Ekweremadu is a lawyer, He knew exactly what he was doing
He was advised to seek a family donor but totally disregarded that advice
He used the doctor as a middle man so as to create room for deniability and did not have any contact with the young man initially.
The fee was £8000 of which £6000 was going to the doctor and £2000 to the boy.
They arranged a visa for the boy claiming he was Sonia's cousin
Sometimes too much sense can make a person stupid . For them it was all business and even the doctor was out to exploit the boy
That Same doctor already had a transplant under similar circumstances and his donor is living in poverty in the UK.
They assume Oyinbo are stupid. Before they remove your kidney they have serious protocols
One of which is an interview. Imagine a doctor interviewing a donor discovering that the donor was hearing the name EKWEREMADU for the first time
The problem with many people commenting here is lack of exposure. They only known the lawlessness of Nigeria and are clueless about a system where there are rules.
The doctor would want to know why are you doing this? Why would anyone donate their kidney?
Spend 5 minutes to imagine an interview where you are trying to convince a stranger why you are donating your kidney,what would you tell them? You hardly know anything about the recipient,so is it love kinship or what?
They will ask you have you been paid
There is a form for that where it is all documented . If we assume that the boy agreed to be paid then he was not properly coached for that interview. He failed the interview and the doctor was not convinced
All this while the boy was not staying at Ekweremadu s luxury home he was sleeping on a couch at the doctors flat .
It really is a very shameful story for NIgeria,that and for those of us who still have shame
It reveals a very wicked people who have no value for human life if they have more money than you.
I am sorry I feel no pity for Ekweremadu. None He is a ruthless person with no human feelings

This is the most sensible Comment I have read on this issue. God bless you.

Same man that was insulting obi when he left pdp that he doesn't have character ? Wike is a stupid man.

This man go reach 90 so? Happy Birthday Great Stateman. God bless and keep you baba.. please everyone should remember death oo....

I am Disapointed!

All.these children on Nairaland. So you can't just tell us what the problem is without tell us you already had sex with the new Girl? Don't know why you young people are obsessed with sex and relationships. Una eyes go still.clear when you are in your 30s. The country is tough. Just dey play you hear.

Make them allow this man continue his work na. Oyetola go and sit down. Make una remember death Sha.

This is really pathetic.

Can you just imagine this

ayomideking:
Na Ikorodu i later go. Sapa no allow me go island

Hahaha. It is well my brother. Every where go soft one day

ayomideking:
Not yet bruh. But I’m making moves

Hello Brother. Are you in Lekki now? I was following your thread last year.

I think it's the car that got missing with him that whoever wrote this post desperate on. Not the guy missing. Poor Guy.

Johnthejohn:
That serves him right.
I hate Gays and Lesbians with passion

You are a BEAST!!

I had 1.7 million last year October. I spent 1.3 on billing from people. When I calculated it I nearly cried. I am broke again in 2023. If you dey give too much, you will be back to poverty. Rich Men that gives only give from their excesses. Don't inconvenience your self .. all these bullshits that givers never lack na bullshit. Those that don't lack are already rich. They can never go broke again even if they don't give. Don't give out the money you supoose to use to build your future. I am terribly regretting my actions like this.

What people don't understand is Obasanjo knows he is too old to be deceiving Nigerians again. He just want to do things right in these remaining days of his life. Death can come look for him anytime. Baba is already 85. So you don't expect him to be bias or sentimental.

Na because him go buy Twitter o. I dont know why him go buy Twitter.

Happy New year to you Jare beautiful people. May God bless you all in this new year.

I hope this OP didn't later sell his PI? One Pi is now sold for 256 dollars . If you have just 20 Pi you are already a millionaire

I'm still looking for the thread, it happened o. Very sad story. He was too ashamed to face the people that believes he has escaped to greener pastures, he eventually swallowed poison substance in the friend's house he was hiding/squatting in. It made news and was posted on same Nairaland sef.

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, any Christian that participates in the celebration of Xmas will end up in Hell. The bible commands we Christians to celebrate the death of our lord Jesus (Luke 22:19b; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26) and not his birth. Any Christian celebrating what is contrary to the bible commandment will end up in eternal pain. Do not celebrate Xmas to avoid regrettable consequences. Jesus was mentioned in the Holy Quran but you'll never find any of our Muslim brothers and sister celebrating his birth

Na Ment?

This one dey do yahoo inside UK. Mumu man

A Great President we never Had. God bless you Prof.

Why am I so scared reading this? God have mercy . See Evil. Chaii.
