My wife got back from the market and said a basket of tomatoes now goes for like N12k!!! Something she bought like N3ksome months back.
God have mercy

I knew it. Last time I bought I send it had drastically reduced in quantity.

dumo1:
Oga calm down na. but like for real the babe deactivated, then why are we wasting our strength typing advices here? I guess as they say the truth is a very bitter pill to swallow. Her man just dodged a sniper bullet.

We need to have a thanksgiving on behalf of the guy. He probably have had enough of her bullshitz over the years.

Aderola15:


Op deactivated

na idiot na. Very proud and arrogant thing. She couldn't take the shots. If I ever meet her "man" I will give him a hand shake for dumping a very selfcentered and ego centric thing.

I detest people who are too proud and full of themselves.

NwamaziNwaAro:
The one in short gown is more of a wife material

Because the Ankara lady has no breást to be a good mother...she won't feed her kids.

Always think of your children before you chose a wife.

mumu, when a woman starts lactating, the boobs become big by nature.

SafeDavid:
Girls are supposed to act up sometimes. It's up to you to learn from such mistakes.

you are clearly someone who drinks and club, live life on highway but please STOP try so hard to force people into your lifestyle. Try to respect other's views or lifestyles.

SafeDavid:
The mistake OP made wasn't even about food but his choice of drinks. The babe probably would have looked awkward drinking beer while her man was sipping water.

That's what ticked her off. He could have at least had an alchoholic drink if not beer.

I'm sure she needed it to get in a more sensual mood but he bleeped up.

Mr man, he did not fork. I would never go near a girl that drinks alcohol, neither will I take such serious, except to use and dump.

Our society is messed up today because we want people to join the bandwagon.

spafu:
I don't think this is called for.

you don't think what? A man comes openly to LIE and you say you don't think what? Will you reject $80,000 for a name like that or for anything of that amount? Don't you know what $80,000 means?

Let him answer the question. I am sure he never thought anybody would know when the domain name dropped.

Trudax:
I am not questioning the validity of anyone's religious beliefs, I am just examining the act of using the bible as a guide to instill moral values in a child through reading the texts to the child and allowing the child access to it.

I don't think the bible is the best foundation for developing a child's morality. Like I said in my thread title, I think it's a dangerous form of child abuse.

Now I am not saying the bible isn't an efficient mechanism to imbue good moral values in a child, I am just saying it's not the best and it's also not the most efficient.

First of all, the bible is very instructive. It dishes out morality on the table of transcendent authority. It tells you that you must do something because god wants you to. This is also what parents tell their kids. They tell them not to steal or lie because god forbids them to lie. I believe it's more effective when a child does something because he understands the reason for doing that thing, than when he does that thing because he's been commanded by an invincible being not to do that thing.

Secondly, I think introducing a child to the notion of hell is terribly bad. This could have devastatingly harmful effects on the mind of the child. Imagine the mental trauma a child could go through when he contemplates the possibility of going to hell for committing even the smallest of crimes.

Thirdly, the bible is replete with stories that purport to espouse moral values, but actually convey the opposite of progressive moral values.
Example is the story of Abraham and Isaac. What moral value does this convey besides the ethics of committing murder? How about the story of Lot's wife? I don't see what else it can teach a child besides imbuing the child with a maddening amount of fear and crippling submission to every ordinance of God, despite what those ordinances are.

And does anyone not see the exposing of children to all the death and killing in the bible as a form of child abuse?

Mr Atheist, I dare you to challenge the muslim and tell that their koran is not good foundation for their kids as a means of instilling moral values and see if you survive 24 hours.

You who is talking fail to realise that everyman has right of choice. Not everything is meant to be opposed because we have choice just as you have a choice to become an atheist that you are (don't deny it)

Learn to respect people's choice as long as life is not lost in the process.

Onegai:
So an update:

Buy a seasponge for your baby. It's soft and will last a year or more (compared to those Gerber washcloths). Ours is still going strong. Expect to pay N750 for one big one. But do NOT buy it from the baby store or baby section of a place like Game. Theirs is N2300 and a regular type is N750. The difference is the word "baby" on the packet.

Sudocrem is an all-round good Zinc oxide cream (15%). Desitin as well (max strength is 40%). Zinc oxide creams are good for when baby has any type of rash. So rather than use it daily (they are not cheap), use either Vaseline or mix coconut oil and shea butter
as a cream and use that as a diaper cream. Then all you need is a small cup of Sudocrem that will last and only be used when rashes occur.

Aveeno, Sebamed Baby, Boots and co can be pricey for baby washed and shampoos. Johnson's is having quite some issues due to it being very harsh. May I recommend Dove Pure and Sensitive bar soap? It comes dermatologist and paeditrician-recommended and is paraben-free and fragrance-free. It is also cheap (2 bars go for less than N500 and will last). Compare that to Aveeno at N2500 per bottle.

Attend Children's birthday parties. This is a great way to stock up on stuff like plastic plates and spoons, stationaries and nice toys. I know someone who hasn't bought a pencil in 5 years for her kids and some party packs I've seen are ahmazingggg for great toys (computer games and art stuff and books). However, you also have to reciprocate and give nice party packs (no chinkele piece of N10 fried meat with one N5 pencil now )

The only medicine you should have is Infant Acetamophin (Tylenol) or Infant Aspirin (Calpol). Ask out doctor for the appropriate ages for either (one is better for newborns and the other works for babies above 3 months). Luckily, Emzor has started making Strawberry-flavoured Paracetamol, because Calpol's price is not for the faint-hearted

There is a company now making padded baby changing mats and it retails for N1000 at Game. So in case you have lost your baby changing mat or are using another bag as a bag, you can get one.

start a blog on this. Hian, you can write for Africa.

DarlintonOmeh:
Hi everyone, just dropped by to wish you guys good luck in your domaining business. I was here some years back in one of the domain threads on Nairaland to offer my little impute in any way possible but, some people on the thread were completely delusional and disrespectful.

I hope this won't be like that one? If the atmosphere is conducive here, I'll be dropping by once in a while to assist in anyway possible. Thanks and good luck.

Why did you allow a domain you claim to receive $80,000 but rejected, expired and drop. I am talking about your all mighty Nametion.com?

NwamaziNwaAro:
Why do Lanre Gentry's people always have problems with written English?

you must an idiot for picking holes in a Language that's not a mother tongue.

Pidgin2:
Maternal and wellendowed come and see what a Nigerian teenager who didn't see Nigeria as a zoo or a hell hole but made use of the opportunity he had in his hands. In this country which you keep condemning as having no future for youths except politicians, oya come and see.

lol

princetom1:
Wen we all walks by like it doesn't concern us, the whole society is affected. It might not be directly bt indirectly. Chinese don't play with weibo, Nairaland is proudly Naija bt nothing can be PROUD about there anymore. All the oldies and veterans has left, mods are reshuffled and axed. Which way?

It's true. But can you do WHEN the owner does not see you as a good ambassador of NL? Huh?

I mean look at the topics on front page... they are so so so watery and add no value to intellectuals.

I spend my time on Quora.com these days when I need to have intellectual refreshments.

ebukahandsome:
How much is Your wage for tribal comments like this... Igbos are naturaly wise but Your comment defined you
You must be from abakiliki. ..

you are wrong. I am igbo but it seems you have not been seeing the way these sets of bastard disgrace Igbos on here. I typical ashamed to identify with them most times.

Go to politics section and read comments from Igbos. I begin to wonder where these guys came from. It's a shame and it's rest on us to start calling them out.

egopersonified:
. You constantly have to prove that you are not dubious, corrupt, arrogant or untrustworthy. The energy you should use in developing yourself and your environment is expended fighting this stigma.

Even in Nigeria.

I swear. That shit is standing between me and 6M deal right now. All because of our fraud badge. We are trying to win a contract, they are interested in the product but to drop part payment na wahala right now.

eyinjuege:
Then talk to him to apologise na. Because his wife accepted him back doesn't mean his children have to accept him.
If you feel so strongly about his abandonment, then let him know your grievances. I guess your siblings also feel the same way, so you guys should say your mind.
There's a proverb that says when you remove dirt from your eye, and you look at it, you're just showing your eyes what a mess its made.
Otherwise, you'll just allow resentment to build if you don't address the elephant in the room.
At least you've learnt an important lesson from him, - "how not to be a father."

Na so some useless father be. I have this aunt who took care of her children alone. I even used to think that they had no father.

One of her son is so rich now and all of sudden, this man has abandoned his house and now stay with my aunt all in the name of trying to help her cos no one is around. The son doesn't give him much, just enough to get by.

hotmum:
Thanks I've learnt my lesson. The hard way. Hubby too I guess.
This is the same people my hubby sacrificed all his pleasures for. Hubby even married late cos he wanted everyone to be on their own. God being my witness I never stopped him in anyway. I was only not comfy with the loans. And only him pays back.

All I can make out of this is that you and hubby are too kind and generous to a fault. PLEASE I beg you. PUT a stop to that that attitude. That's what ruined my late mother.

Any money you make should be for your own use and that of your kids.

My mother didn't have any tangible investment because of family. My mother died because she was duped by a bastard that she helped.

Learn not to please people too much to your own detriment.

Most of the families still wonder why we don't go near them. Why should we when we saw everything that they did to her? One of my uncle keep complaining lol. He would say "your mother was not like this, she was always carrying everybody along" eh uncle, thank you sireee. I have heard.


Me, I am just as soft as my mum BUT I learned not to ever listen to my heart when it seems like it would make me uncomfortable.

My elder brother went on what seems like a suicide mission, knowing how things are for him. Out of anger, I called my elder sister and told her that NOTHING will make me send money if he ever cries out and I have stood my ground. He asked for help some days ago and I refused to do anything about it. Not that I won't do it, it's not everytime you make life easy for humans. Once a while, give them the harshness of nature (mother nature isn't an all time pamper), act like you don't have a heart.

Partnerbiz2:
had spat? Smh for your English teacher. Olodo.

lol...

AK481:
Jnobody wants to say how.the guy will refund 10billion in 2 years.

Within d guy dey do see?

where una dey see 10B? bros, it is 1BILLION OOOOOOO HABA

Partnerbiz2:
That guy is spewing rubbish. And he is just learning attention seeking.
Linda Ikeji is affable and and a media personality hence could be seen by everybody.

So he needed 20 mill and got 200 mil. Who would give him that kind of money at 18 when he probably had not managed even a 100k biz. What experience doea he have to manage 200 mil. And the person won't take interests abi?

And he is still looking for more investors after getting ×10 of what he wanted.

Ge will return 10bn in 2yrs with 20mil indeed in nigeria with cost of running biz and vagaries associated with bizness in a capricious country.

We can just believe anything in naija. That's the same way they said one moribund resort in Bauchi had 3m pee night rooms.

We had spat the other day... bros, your fingers type faster than your brain. He said 1B no 10B. HABA!

AK481:
Jnobody wants to say how.the guy will refund 10billion in 2 years.

Within d guy dey do see?

it is 1b BROS.. not 10b. He it is not a MUST he meets that 1b because that is just a projection of estimates and with unseen events, some problems will definitely arise but then,the profit that would have been made could go a long way even if it does not reach 1b

mykelmeezy:
congrats

to him but you see why 18year old need sense/an adult around



its really not every detail you post o social media



if the "billionaires" dont come through or if someone kills/kidnaps him out of the mumuness of thinking he has the money already who do we blame



keep details private.....

I get your point. He shouldn't have mentioned their names in the post.

UniqueGem:
Luck is the word of a loser.
More than working, you need ideas. Look for ways to implement your ideas and you'll achieve a feat so great that an 'ordinary' will call it LUCK.

u dey mind that one. All his comments are often like that... too negative.

lalasticlala, dominique, mynd44, ishilove, please I beg you all to put this on front page and let's give some people a breath of fresh air to encourage and uplift some spirit.

makingmy:
As in men!! But 200 million is not the kind of money that will just be sitting around.. Or is it? I hope this my poverty mindset is not blinding me to the level of moni out there. Chai!

i guess it is blinding u o. There is forking money lying around in Nigeria doing NOTHING. Just come up with something that you can offer them and you will see them chasing you.

Someone once said, people don't lack money. Just come up with something very very very appetising and watch them borrow money because they are salivating and can't resist the savoury of your offer.


Trust me, there is money out there. Tomorrow will make it week 2 that we have been trying to negotiate and strike a deal with some guys. The money is very much available to execute the deal... profit would be good too.

Even after losing millions to MMM, crazy cash is lying fallow in banks across the country.

makingmy:
He posted the tweet asking for 20 million naira Last mont and now he has gotten 200 million . I wonder what business plan can be so good to get times 10 of what he was looking for. Like I said am inspired.

you have no idea the kind of money sitting idle in banks.

ekems2017:
Pls run away from that quiet guy. He will deal with you after quietly planning you for decades.
The lousy one in quote will call you to order immediately you offend him.

tell the forum what you did wrong that made that guy quietly plan to deal with u.

We are quiet, we are reserve, we are introverts BUT we hardly ever throw the first punch and we often retaliate any first punch.

My ex messed me so badly that every guy here will call me mumu, maga... yes, I quietly dealt with her for 3 years until she begged and eventually begged in God's name.

I dare you to confess here that you didn't step on a snake's tail.

Nonsense... gerrahere mehn.

AktorLee:
being reserved doesn't mean u are quiet. it means u just don't talk anyow or act anyow esp in public. But when you are with bae, d beast in u comes out.

My experience though. She even complains i talk too much when we are alone.

don't mind all the stupid ladies saying boring. I am an introvert myself and I don't talk any how. An ex who left me will do any sacrifice to have me back now... but it's too late. Just like the idiots who have think quiet and reserve introverts are boring, she thought too.

I don't like people who see introverts are misfit.

Most of these people don't even know the amount of work done mentally by an average introvert and they almost always solve problems before them.

Prettyenit18:
Quite, reserved, simple and intelligent guys

You are the only wise lady among the idiots that have commented so far. REAL relationship goes beyond boring and it takes some really deep feelings to overcome them.

mespusinglez:
Always asking for money, much questions and i don't like answering questions, she never believe i loved her so she work away
