Atouke:
Keep deluding yourselves. Akpabio will not defect. The meeting is just about the executive trying to broker a deal with PDP to get them prevail upon saraki to reconvene the Senate so they can pass the bill to fund the elections 2018. And other urgent matters that the Senate needs to get done.

bros, this news about him defecting has been floating around too long. I am afraid it might be true.

If OBJ a Yoruba son was there for 8yrs and did not deem it fit to honor MKO and Gani then it took Buhari to do it, then he deserves the votes of Yorubas more than anyone else

Atiku was in the govt that killed Bola Ige a Yoruba son and former governor of Oyo state, Harry Marshalls a South-South man, Barnabas Igwe an Ibo man and not for once did he speak up or condemn it,, Atiku is even wanted in the US for the Halliburton scandal where Senator Jefferson is in jail

When most of you talk like this, it .makes my skin crawl.

How does June 12 give you constant power supply, provide jobs, good roads, advance medical facilities, industrialization for the Yorubas or even your children.

This is why I keep say many of you are not educated at all...

Are u guys this daft?

Go and see what Rwanda has achieved for themselves and you will be ashamed to call yourself a Nigerian. Ghana just overtook Nigeria as highest kola producers.

But you are here celebrating June 12... As If it adds any tangible value to your citizenship.

Your likes are the reason why I will eventually leave this country. I don't want to my kids to end up being stupid and conform to mediocrity.

Winneygirl:
The one mistake you are making is, you give them what they ask for.
I get requests all the time too.
If someone is asking for 30k, if you want to give, tell them its 5k, or 10k you have.
Also, i don't lend to people who do not have a clear cut way of paying back.
E.g someone earns 60k as salary, wants to borrow 100k ,to pay back next month. Pls tell me, where will he get it to pay you back? This person can never borrow above 10k from me.
.
Secondly, some people are privy to your financial standing, and use that to tell you that they know you have the money. I do 2 things. I ask them if I am working for them, then I blacklist them. 10 naira, you will not see.
.
Some other people call you, and when you say you don't have, they tell you that when you receive your salary, you should lend them the money. There is only one solution for this category of people. BLACKLIST!!!
Even me, I don't make plans on a salary I have not yet earned/received.
.
I now have a new method.
When someone calls, or approaches me for money, before he tells me his problem, I start listing mine.
How I got a call from my Dad to help pay his medical bills of 50k, in the same week, my brother has asked for money to support his project 30k, my aunt also called to say that she has no where to turn to, and me too, I walk around with an empty purse. No money and I am in vexing mode. Being broke makes you angry.
After all these, the person will know that I will not prioritize his need over mine.

Exactly how I do mine...

Pls, only mature contributions

After my service year I lent out #140k to raise some of my friends and big bros in my area (family men) that lost their job as a result of fraudulent act in their office which led to closing down of d company. To avoid questions of how I got d money. The little amount I got from d small business i engaged in, together with my savings during my service year. I believe everyone has their days of trial but it becomes safer when someone steps in to relieve. I'm not trying to refer my self as a GOOD SAMARITAN but I feel for the children and wife at home. They all promise to pay my money when they gain balance financially. I never give thought of doubt on this because they re graduate and have been working before . Over d years, 2 years to be precise, i was able to get back #50k. There is even one of them that give flimsy excuses like ' l am busy at work, i am in d meeting now bla bla bla... later I was unable to reach him. Probably he put my number on the blacklist. This makes me to decide that i will not give out what i can't let go.
Recently, a colleague of mine at work approached me to lend her 30k so as to buy some stuffs in her shop, I never hesitate to turn her down because I'm tired of listening to stories when d money gets to her hand. She called and pleaded on phone that she knows i have the money, i needed to turn her down again, however i acted that way just not to displease myself again. A friend of mine is equally calling me now to raise him 20k to join d money he has to execute a business. Just fed up now, I hv d money with me but i don't want to regret my actions at the end. After a lot persuasion from my friend, I sat down and start asking myself series of question.

Like: Do I need to judge people base on what others have done?
Hope i am not selfish with my decision?
Pls I need a mature advice.

It's simple rule... Never displease yourself to please anyone. A friend used his name to collect 2,000,000 for someone else and right now, he can't sleep cos the person hasn't paid back the money....

His relationship with the lender is at stake because the lender has been of tremendous help to him and he never failed but just this one now has turned something else.

Well, the man that collected the money used it for business and for each money he was making, he wS reinventing it back into the business. He never knew that at a point, he would be owed.

The man is trying to raise the money though...


I don't give what I can't afford to lose. If u wanna vex, vex... I am not the cause of your problem...

vena92:
You said it, you can't find such within.Lekki1-VGC. You can find them in Ajah and environs. Those places are after Ajah, you can't compare both environments.

That is why I said "FROM"... all na Lekki. Just pick one based on your budget... if I am gonna buy a house there, it wouldn't be more than 55 Million.

Aside the prestige there and possible business contacts, I don't really any thing too special about the place though.

krendo:
My only regret with this move is that this may be an indication that Saraki will not run for President

It appears Saraki wants to play the role of a Kingmaker

Well, that is good. I like it that way.

Daviddson:
This is not how things are done - when you make people to jump too many steps, they don't value it and don't seem to know the responsibility that comes with the quick succession of promotion. Someone defects to your party on a Monday and by Wednesday he's already the party leader - whatever that useless title mean. Tinubu bears same but he virtually has no power to wield.

You don't know JACK. Sit down and watch...

DonFreshmoney:
She is an Olosho.. I know person wey drill that pussy. #SunGirl

Aldebaran:
If you are reading this and you want that kind of luxuries....

Then forget EDUCATION and Learn a SKILL....

Except you plan to be a PoliTHIEFcian

it is sad to note that you don't know the real meaning and essence of education... how can you say forget education and learn a skill? Is learning skill not education?

This is why I say most Nigerians are not as educated as they assume. Even going to school is learning a skill. However, specialized in demand skill/education is the key to 21st century success.

I have never used my school cert to work since after NYSC and even now, I am securing deals worth millions, but that does not mean I should tell people to do what you just said.

vena92:
What part of Lekki abeg? I hope you know it costs more buying a house than building, if you you're to build with 40m budget then what wull be the size of the land? Even in Osapa,Idado,Agungi and Ologolo you will hardly get a duplex with it's own compound for that amount except it's semidetached.
I understand this one is in Ikate, a much more expensive part of Lekki, I doubt 40m will buy a terrace there.

I typed Jiji(.)NG but nairaland omitted it. Please search there for prices.... it ranches from 40 Million and above.

I don't mean 40 Million is the overall price. I mean FROM 40 Million you will get a good house. At Sango Tedo for instance, After Ajah, around Shoprite complex, duplex there is 45Million. My friend told me this because he stays there.

MissJoy29:

Wow. Just from writing?

What kind of writing? Fictional stories, articles, researches? Which one?

Lol are you surprise? Well, his writing depends on what clients need. You have to decide a sector that you would like to serve. Some write for parenting, some for businesses, some for startup, press releases and so on. just visit his website and see.

theoldpretender:


Nice...BUT...

1.It cost Egypt A lot of money



6billion Euro is about 2,503billion naira....or N2.5 trillion naira. (And most of that money is in LOANS)
SAUCE

So you mean Nigeria can not afford that money? do you realize that we have spent more than that figure already on same power?

TimeMachine:
Shehu Sani's Political clout has been decimated by this single piece of paper. Even if he is heading to PDP now, he will be negotiating for stabilization cos he deserves better. He is a smart fellow, but I wonder why he waited to be degraded.

What PDP can do now, to wipe his shame is to arrange for a 'lousy' invitation to him, with this disgrace meted on him, he will be assigned the responsibility of diffusing Hell-Rufai.

You are a smart man... PDP should use him to gain more relevance, truly.

oshiokpu:

Bros abeg use Google check the cost of properties on the island. Lekki specifically. With 20millie You no go even see a plot buy for surulere talk more of lekki. Real estate no be joke for Lagos. Use google

I don't need to use Google. It is something I know cos I am searching for house to buy between now and next year.

With 40Million, you will get a decent 4 bedroom duplex in Lekki.


Use to search. No let celebrity lie Confuse you. From 40M and above you will get a good duplex. I don't like Lekki cos it is over hyped. That area is only good for connection and prestige.

No light, no good air circulation, traffic na die.

We are proud.

We are confident

We are overzealous

We are lion hearted.

We are brave

We are fearless...

We don't know how to sugarcoat the truth... We say it as is, even if it will hurt you.

No tribe has been so vocal about the disintegration of Nigeria as the Igbos for the benefit of others. But today, those who were against it can see the Igbos were right.

Igbos are not diplomatic when they wanna speak... They tell you the way they feel... Unlike others who would be scared of getting you angry.

It is true that Igbos don't have anything like loyalty or slave mentality .. In a igbo community, a 5 year old son of his father can speak up in the midst of elders without fear and he will be heard.

Amumaigwe:


No two adjectives better describe Buhari than 'incompetent' and 'corrupt'. Ask every unbiased Nigerian.

I like the keyword "unbiased Nigerian"

post=69909792:
In a sane society, that is how it is done!

But with this power drunk senate President, him go wan die there!

yeah, in a sane clime, Buhari should be In jail by now... Because of the lies, killings and corruption scandals hovering his administration.

What is good for the Goose is good for the gander.

pacespot:
All this, if it cannot address the acute shortage of capability in Nigerian web hosting industry, is a waste of money and effort. Nigeria loses millions of dollars each year, maybe hundreds of millions, due to Nigerians looking for credible and reliable hosts in the United States and other countries. This should be the first face of development of ICT industry in Nigeria, because for any meaningful internet business, you need a website, which starts with a web host.

Talking about the importance of partnering with average Nigerians in a project like this

Nigeria can't boast of their own indigenous hosting company because you need power to power the servers bros.

udoka55555:
one day I will snap with like 50 smart cars and post the pics online.....

you think you can deceive everybody?


90% of lifestyle on social media are fake

a girl that can't boast of what she has achieved for herself aside what her father's wealth and fame has given her.

kennygee:


I will never understand how y'all bring in tribal sentiments to the smallest things.

Na wa o.

they are cursed and a disgraced saner Igbos.

Elfmannisback:

Yeah. Men give them all these. The men got it from anyhow too. Bad + bad!

na so...

Me77:

I see nothing wrong with those questions, sad this is our kind of mentality over here. Adam d'Angelo the owner of quora.com have been asked way too many personal questions about his website and how it generates money he never finds any faults in the questions but took his time to answer them all. These are questions every neutral person should know.

do you think many Nigerians are as educated as they assume? Nigerians think that once you know how to read and write, it means you are educated.

Technically, it goes beyond that and please don't compare Adams to what we have here. They are not and will never be in same category.

These days I spend most times on Quora than I spend on nairaland and each time I feel more educated within a few hours than many years months in spent on Nairaland.

Sad to put this way but truth be told, Nairaland is a reflection of Nigeria. What happens in Nigeria that you can't find here?

Gratia:
How do these people do this thing bikonu.

they do it by forking Dickson. It is very obvious.

Ask the slowpoke where her company is located, ask what the company is into and many more and you will see nothing but prostitute on disPlay.

oshiokpu:

My oga no 100 Millie house for lekki oo..that money is barely enough for 2plots of land talk more of house..No mind all these showbiz people, they can lie for Africa eeh..More than 80% of these guys are paying rent and can't own a house in lekki.

the house Na 40 million range house... Who go buy this one for 100m? Na craze?

Elfmannisback:

Do u believe this?

iT is true. The ladies among them are prostitute. It is an insult to the men who built the industry. Haba... Na Wetin sef.

Hibiscuss:
Congratulations to her. Maybe she deserves it. But why is it that it's always actress that buys big cars and houses. What about the nollywood actors. Are they underpaid? Or are they working for free?.

How many films person go act buy 40million range and buy 100 million house. Nollywood sweet o.

that house no reach 100M ooo. Bros, just 40M and u will get a house like that in Lekki.

Na me no just like that Lekki sha.. It's over hyped.

naijaguy123456:
Not a big supporter of buhari but all will be shocked how he'll beat the pdp in 2019. The man is like a cult figure in the north. He beat a PDP in power with billions spent by Jonathan, how much now when he has billions at his disposal and the national securities.

Buhari did a lot for his people, whatever they ask for he gave them, he killed for them from day one , they killed for him up till now , for Buhari it's Hausa/Fulani first then rest Nigerians after.

Millions of factors determine who rule Nigeria, money in billions of dollars, security agencies at your disposal, religion, whom you put in charge of INEC, etc. We are quick to forget Nigeria election is NEVER free and fair.

Assuming Buhari was president in 2015 and he contested against Jonathant. Then Jonathan won , I want people to tell me if Jega the INEC dude would have announced Jonathan the winner ?

Why didn't he win before the formation of APC?

MissJoy29:

Really?

lol... People actually make more than that. You can add upwork.com to the mix too.
If you also want to make more, search for Bamidele onibalusi. he makes as much as $4000per month without using fiverr or upwork.

It didn't come easily though but he has blue print that can aid you.

Search me and visit his site writersincharge.com he is a silent warrior and mostly heard off in the international space.

LeoFish92:


Finally, someone who has been in a similar situation, few days ago, I was on a sweet lovely date with one Chica bonita, Before I could say Jack, calls had started flowing in... SMH.

Talking about properties, first of all, My target is a room self-con, can't afford two rooms, and one room face me I face you is a total turnoff for me.

I already Have a mattress, I envisage it's mostly electronics and fridge that I will have to save for.

With Side hustles like playing musical instruments and writing yielding about 40k monthly, I Still plan to apply for a regular job.

And if there's vacancy for the company I write for, I'll sure notify you

Take that writing to fiverr and you will raise it to over 120k per month with serious hard work and determination.

All I see here is an entrepreneur going boom.... The man with idea for these things Don blow...

I am coming for you all...

HAH:
I have never had hope in any politician like Buhari but now I am never been disappointed by any politician like Buhari

I realised that being incorruptible is not same thing as being competent, but is Buhari not even corrupt ?

I campaigned for him canvassed for him, sent money to him and even here on nairaland we did it

I am a disappointed buharist

This mistake must be undone 2019 .

Allah wadaran naka ya lalace

I respect you for this. I respect the fact that you are transparent enough. It takes only a man that loves his country to speak like you have done, it takes a man who wish his children a better future to see things like you.

I am not talking about blind sycophants who eat crumbs from the table of BUBU.

I was among those who wanted GEJ out... And today, I can say Buhari failed a lot of people.

mrfolu:
Yes

Please is this house in Ogun State or Lagos? Cos I found it on jiji while searching for houses in Adodo Ota.

However, it seems like a house in Lagos, than in Ogun state.

Where is Akute, is it in Lagos or Ogun State?
