Mercylike:
U r not making sense..
He is broke but he buys aṣọ ebi for every Party.

He is broke but keeps money well well that we have to steal his money to eat well sometimes..

U didn't live with my father.. Keep ur opinion

Why did you bring your stinking family issue to a public domain if you didn't want people's opinion.
Receive sense.

Mercylike:
Growing up with my family, I grew up not liking my dad but liking my mother so much that I can go to the extreme for her. It all started like this;

While we were growing, my dad having like 2 wives never really cared about us. Not even our steps siblings who are older than us. Their own even worse, they struggled and worked hard to get what the want with little or no help from our dad. Except for 1 or 2 out of 7 of them, the rest stopped at secondary school (public). My dad had no intention of being responsible for them.

Back to myself and my brother which are the only kids my mom gave my dad, he never still feels responsible.

Throughout my primary, secondary and tertiary years, I can't pinpoint one time that my dad bought sandal, cloth or anything for us. The only drug my dad has ever bought for us when we are seriously sick is paracetamol, even if we have serious sickness, he doesn't care. All he does is to call my mother to come take care of us (my mother doesn't stay fully with us because it won't even be convenient in such house with step mom but whenever she comes, she could spend a week).

Infact he was un-interested in sending us to school but thanks to my MOTHER. Though she didn't read well as she stopped as primary 5 or so but she said that she vow that she will train her children to school if they are ready to learn. Myself and my bro were ready to learn and my mom entered debts just to make sure we go to school. I could remember giving up when I gained admission, my dad already told us that he didn't send us to go to school ooo. I didn't know how my mother did it, she came home and gave me the acceptance fee and school fees with some other money. ( I cried before and after the incident, I don't know how this woman got this money but I'm sure she took loan).

Sometimes our step mom gets jealous thinking it was my dad that was doing those efforts for us but never did she know that all was my mom. I won't deny, dad contributed little but it was by force, begging his friends to plead to him to pay part of our school fee and all. But he is always boisterous of the fact that his sons are in school and all which angers me to see him boast with me especially.

Till now, I still don't feel responsible for my dad well-being. I have tried adjusting myself to loving him well but I can't. I just like him and respect him as a father but for my mom, I will do anything for her. I will go hungry for her, I will starve for her.

Nairalanders, it's being like 3 or 4 years I went to see my dad even though his place is not too far from me. He has been calling me several times that he wants to see me but I have always told him that I don't have time.

My problem is, my dad has never changed.. He is always concerned about himself, all he ask is money. He hardly calls to check up, except when he need money.
Since I started working, I have never defaulted in sending him money every month but I send my mother 3 times or even 4 times what I send my dad. After all, he has our step brothers and sisters he can always ask for money. So I don't really care about him.

One statement he usually makes since we were small "Go and meet your mother". He doesn't feel responsible for our needs, all na our mother.
Though he gives us daily feeding while we were growing and living under him but thanks to my mother that pays food vendors around to give us food whenever we are hungry because my dad doesn't give us enough.


Many stories but I can't say all...

Nairalanders, I still feel guilty as to why I don't like him. It feels like I have not forgiven him but to be honest, I have no issue with him.

How can I free myself from this guilt?

You might be totally wrong in your assumption about your father.

African fathers don't tell their kids they are broke, they only shout at you and say "Go and meet your mother"

Those times you thought he didn't care, he was probably very broke.

The crazy part is, your mum must have fed you ugly stories about your Dad while growing up which have made you resent him so much. Trust me, he is niot as bad as you think.

I thought my Dad was wicked until I grew up to become a man. He was just a poor man who would have done more if he had money

Shebi you seff don become man, you go born pikin and you go understand

Draw or lose for Cameroun and Ivory Coast qualifies.

leadinggists:
Mumu

Enough of calling this girl names.

Cuppy is just one friendly girl who likes to enjoy herself and sees the good in everything. And she likes to play a lot.

So how is she mumu?

I see Osimhen breaking the records

No be everything be effect of economy.

They simply can't beat the competition out there.

There are better soaps and detergent everywhere

This one sweet me

Nigeria will win AFCON.

Mark my words!

🍀Die if you like, the Dollar will keep rising against the Naira!!!🍀
***************************************

1. Appreciation and Depreciation of Currency is not related to race or color. It isn't who is the President either; be he Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba. It is basically about the production of goods and Services and the demand of your products in the World market. A confused Country that produces almost next to nothing will never meet up. Policies only control your Currency, not the value of other Countries' Currencies against yours.

2. A Country where over 500 Industries died within 30 years must be Stupid to complain of Depreciation of her Currency. We keep killing local industries and expect policies to make it up, it's a joke sir. Don't use China as an example of depreciating Currencies and strong economy. China produces and may attract more export with that strategy, unlike Nigeria that produces nothing.

3. A Country where someone made away with $2+billion simply to be shared, is already a doomed one in terms of monetary policy and value. A Country that produces a Dizeani and a Bafarawa, who spent billions to appease Demons. Those money without economic value is an economic waste and poison injected into the system.

4. A Country that favours importation over local production is doomed because it creates employment for other Countries while sacking her own Citizens. Some people are working in Michelin and Dunlop somewhere, yet we use the tyre here. Don't tell me about the principle of comparative advantage here; it's not applicable.

5. A Country that exports all raw materials without adding value to them, is shameless to talk of depreciation of her Currency, and will later re-import finished products of those materials, is the peak of daftness. A bag of Cocoa will go for, like N1million Naira, but when it is processed, its worth is around N7million. Even farmers who produced the raw Cocoa can't buy the end product... Chocolate!!

6. A Country that deliberately operates a banking system that gives loans to importers at the expense of local industries, is doomed and should say nothing about depreciation. Most of the loans are given to Senators and Representatives not industrialists.

7. A Country that gives loans in billions to the agric sector without monitoring & evaluation of such loan on how it gets to the real farmers, is a Sham. A guy collected over N2 billion agric loan, he bought a Jeep, built a nice house and used the rest to import processed Pork. Meanwhile, local Pork Farmers are dying here. Is that not double tragedy, stressing Forex and at the same time killing local industries.?

8. A Country that spends more on few privileged politicians at the cost of the populace who are unemployed, should not talk about money depreciation. A Country that keeps paying NNPC Staff N10 billion as Salaries every month, when a single drop of Petroleum Products was not processed, should shut up about depreciation of Currency. The only value-added product to the system is rising Crime and Criminality!!

9. A Country where it is difficult for investors to register businesses because of the demand for bribes by governent officials. Right from the Airport to the Hotel; to the Ministers and to Governors, investors will bribe. All these are part of cost of investment. A friend brought an investor on Estate Development just for the State Commissioner for Lands to demand 30% of the investment! To see the Governor in a State will cost you N2 million as bribe before you can be scheduled. This is a State as poor as anything.

10. A Country where the cost of travelling for treatment abroad by government officials will build World Class Hospitals, should not talk about Naira against Dollar parity. Money taken on that trip is part of stress on forex. Same as forex spent on Pilgrimage. Let religion fanatics keep off me here. Without going to Mecca or Jerusalem, you can still make heaven. Yes! You waste forex on Pilgrimage and later talk rubbish about forex. Pilgrims get Dollars for N160 while industries get it for N350! Is that not Crazy ?

11. A Country where a
few people have access to Federal Reserves and those few can get loans, not because of what they can produce but the connection they have... Is that Country not doomed already?

12. A Country where we import what we produce because it's "Cheaper" to do so, is doomed.

13. A Country that has Arable land and teeming idle youths but still complains of hunger, should not talk about Currency depreciation. It's not only annoying but nauseating.

14. A Country where free money flows can never control inflow and outflow of Forex. Imagine someone who wants to hide his loot went to "Aboki", the Forex dealer, to buy Dollars worth $50 million just to hide it in the basement of his house. That money has no economic value, yet it deprived those companies that needed it to import raw material. The same Companies go to "Aboki" to buy the hard Currency at exorbitant price.

15. A Country where a strong Bank owner can influence Shares from within the Stock Exchange floor to inflate their Shares' worth from N20 to N150, crash the same Share to N30 and ready to buy it back at N28, all within a year. Forget it, the Currency will never appreciate in such an economy.

16. A Country where Banks are involved in round- tripping and inflated cost to siphon money, is doomed. A Company wants to import Caterpillar worth $50,000. A Bank made the forex for such import $550,000. Meanwhile no Caterpillar was imported at last, yet the money faded into private accounts. Who strained the Forex exchange rate in that case?

You have too much sense bro. I have copied and saved your comment.

But let me ask, do you think Naira will appreciate a little when Dangote start selling petrol? Since we will no longer be buying finished product from overseas

okrikaboi:
What if the husband poisoned them?

A very possible case.

Poison the wife and kids then write a note for cover up

Most interesting match of this Afcon so far.

How are people not seeing that this sh1t is scripted.

Staged skit.

VEXT:
Ye bro ...

I will buy again when the price drop...

Always put your ears on the news tho.

VEXT:
Okay bro ,I just sold my 1200 USD today at price of 1311 naira..

I bought USD when it was 1k

Good for you. You have about 370k gain. I bought late at 1280. I'm still holding.

VEXT:
When wil u sell?

I'm putting my ears on the news. Not selling until Dangote or other Naija made refineries start selling petrol. Dangote will soon start selling Jet fuel and Diesel but that's not enough. I don't see Naira doing well until the we stop changing Naira to dollars to buy petrol.

And I sincerely hope Naira starts doing well. I'm not happy making this gain because in the real sense, it is not a gain

Athena6:
Last week I created a thread talking about how my japa plans have been crushed due to the increase in dollar.

Many adviced me to invest in dollar, this was the advice they gave me months ago but I did follow through because I wasn't sure.
My last thread hit front page and 90% of the comments were advising me to invest in dollars, one even quoted that in the past 10 years, the dollar haven't fallen but it increases every year.

One even called me a weak minded person and I am scared to take risks.
After everything I thought to myself, since so many people felt this dollar will keep on rising, maybe I should invest afterall life is all about risks.

Well guess what, dollar have decreased, I invested 3M in buying dollars and now in today exchange rate. I have 2.6M now and I either cash out now or hope it will increase.

Right now, I am very angry.
Those giving me advice should come and contribute the 400k for me o

Another thing, do you think the dollar will increase or should I just cut my loses.
I am so tired 😫

I remember telling you not to sell your crypto yet. See the current price of Naira as of today

Ikaeniyan0:
The backlog holds water, that's why the naira has been strengthening against the dollar since last week. A lot of people like you never believe it will fall this badly.

1 usdt is currently 992.

Dangote refinery is not the only refinery that will be working next year.

I don't see naira getting to 1200 again this year. And the naira is not going to fall yakata

How far bro. Today price don reach 1320 o

Kachidubem:
Baba dat image shows ...you've lost 1 million naira already ... dollar is 1050

1050 x $6591 = 7 million

Keep playing...we will help you calculate it till it gets to 4 million naira.

We'll go again tomorrow.

How far, Naira don reach 1320 o

VEXT:
R u still holding?

Yes bro. I still have my USDT intact. I didn't sell a cent.

Price is now 1,320 from Binance as at the time of writing this

BrodaBenad:
Dark web weapon market uses bitcoins

The more demand the higher the price of bitcoin

Gotcha!!!

socialmediaman:
These people are desperate to take Bitcoin to $250,000 by all means!

Please explain how it will affect the price of Bitcoin

They should stop this nonsense of praise songs and prayers already. Doesn't add a pinch of salt to anything

Be like me. Marry a beautiful dark skin woman and cheat with several light skinned girls

And Wike is busy chasing shadows.

The dead is not here to defend himself.

Let everything die down abbeegg

Relax, its only on social media

Everything is normal in real life

Yes, they will make profit after selling fuel for 650

Another thread for the highly misogynistic guys on Nairaland to masturbate on. Watch them come here and spew their hatred on the women again, meanwhile, instead of saying thrash they should read between the lines and learn.

As much as ladies want a cool and good guy, they don't want someone who is easily swayed. There needs to be a balance. If you treat ladies as sh1t, they will run from you, and if you are easily manipulated, they will run. This is where balancing everything comes.

Be nice, but not too nice. Be bad, nut not too bad. Create a balance.

As a man, I can't even deal with a fellow man who can't think for himself, who is easily swayed or manipulated. I cannot deal with a fool. Be caring, loving and all that but you also need to stand your ground and show that you are the man in the relationship/marriage.

I can't even be with a lady who agrees with everything I say, who can't come up with constructive argument and criticism. It goes both ways.

Never

Good development

Look into that misogyny thing very well.

Small boys are fond of talking down on women like they dont have sisters and mothers at home.
