Tough, true. Possible? Yes.

The argument is not for freshers or experienced. It is about the possibility of one paying his rent with 10% of his earning.

I have seen singles who go for 3 bedroom apartments. My neighbour is a bachelor, and stays alone in a 3 bedroom flat. I have also seen families of six, with two cars, in a 2 bedroom. Set aside condition/location of the accommodation, the point is can 10% of one's income pay his rent? Emphatic YES, as you agree.

Yep, I never said it was not possible.

I said if it happens, then the person would have to compromise their standard.

The lower they earn the more severe the compromise.

Obviously someone who earns N150m a year (and who chooses to rent) can rent for 10% of their earnings without compromising their standard.

But those that can are extremely rare and negligible. A vast majority of people would not be able to. So it is a tough ask.

A family of 6 living in a 2 bedroom apartment is severely compromising on their needs.

When there a fire broke out in the home of the beautiful Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw, many sympathized with the actress. However, the owner of the building has now blamed her for causing the fire.


Naij.com previously reported that that fire gutted Kate’s house located at Ojibo Adjaro Street, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, at about 3pm on Thursday, June 25, while the actress was away working on the set of ‘Do Good’.

The fire was caused by a power surge occasioned by the restoration of electricity by the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN).



So bad was the fire that Henshaw was said to have lost some of her valuables and could salvage little of her property. Two days after the incident, Henshaw packed out her belongings from the house and she never looked back.


While many had believed that the property belonged to the actress, it has been discovered otherwise, as the house is said to belong to an 85-year-old pensioner who supports himself in old age with the rent from the house.

According to playgroundtv.net, a source close to the elderly landlord said: “You see, it was because of her negligence that the fire started in the first instance. She left her air conditioner on, when she knew she was going out of the house. So, when the power supply was restored in the vicinity, a power surge occurred in her apartment and the fire started. The problem now is that after she evacuated her belongings, she just gave the keys to the gate man and walked away.”

Kate is now said to have got a place somewhere in Oniru estate.

So according to the fuuktard source it is her fault the electricals for the house was installed in such a way it could not cope with the instant supply of electricity?

Or it is her fault that the useless PHCN could not regulate the electricity being supplied?

Ode! ......Moronic fuuktard!

Kashif:
Go and ask people what they are paying, and for how long they have been occupying their abodes. I know people who have been living at the same address for upwards of 10 years. You talk like a property agent, not a tenant - different realities.

Even at that, are you saying that someone earning 6M - 7M cannot get 600k apartment? Get your head around it man. Some peeps are living life with low overhead. They can save 50% of earning and still be good.

I think you have completely missed the chance to think through the scenario.

First of all, very few people make north of N5m per year in Lagos. From my little analysis some months back, even in the highly desirable and supposedly high paying banking sector that is employing the elite, only between 30-60% of their staff make between N4-9m per annum. And 10-20% make north of N9m per year. So imagine what most ordinary Lagosians make.

Secondly, those that will make N6m-N7m a year and/or have been living in the same address for 10 years plus are not likely to be young or single. They are likely to be married with kids, hence they will need something like a 3-bedroom apartment except they want to severely compromise like I pointed out with my Ajegunle example.

I only saw one case of a 2-bedroom flat for N600K in Surulere, most are around N700K+. And the 3-bedroom are in the range of N800K to N1.2m.

Most single guys and girls (those going for 2 bedroom flats) are nowhere near making even N4m a year.

If you want to be paying 10% of your salary a year as rent, you will be living in a place well below your class, be sharing, be staying in a BQ or be living very far away (e.g. Sangotedo, Ikotun, Badagry, Iyana Ipaja etc) from the commercial nerve centres where the corporate jobs are (the ones that pay N4m+).

Someone making N4m plus and living like the above is compromising severely in Nigeria.

I have not yet even gone into the quality of the house (or the street it is on) that will be rented out cheaply enough for it to meet the 10% criteria.

So it is quite tough to be paying only 10% of your salary in a commercial city except you do compromise your standard severely.

Goosebaba, I am waiting o.

You still dey struggle to find the words on your Okrika dictionary, fuuktard?

GooseBaba:
My friend Sharrap your very dirty mouth there.....who are you..!? You're nothing but a bloody clitoris on a rotten corpse.. I have told you I will indulge you in your moronic rants. Just post your own dictionary version of the words in question and stop stroking your covk like it's something marvelous.

You keep exposing your stupidity here... If those people choose not to engage you, wetin consign me inside. Abeggii, just Make sure you post your own dictionary version of the words, before you reply me with more garbage..

You are a cretinous fuuktard!

I willl take teh delight of suyaing your dumb arsse today.

Cretin, I am the one that should help you prove your right use of the words?

In the failed schools that produced you, when you use words, it is others that are suppose to help you prove it is right?

Moronic fuuktard!!!

Foool, go and post your Okrika definition of "pervert", "freak", "strange" and "ignorance" and come and moronically explain it here in your application.

Moronic product of a failed education system.

You don enter am today.

NoirBlvck:
Interesting. Yet you claim it's appropriate to hit on a woman any/everywhere.

So the lady in question and the man weren't complete strangers huh? Ridiculous.

Insulting me doesn't change the fact that LinkedIn is not a dating site. Anyone who decides to use it as one deserves whatever they get.

I guess professionalism is a myth to some people.

This is the kind of stupidity I have seen several times.

So explain to me, I am testing your grammar here, so:

If I said it is okay to hit on a woman anywhere, that is the same thing as saying it is okay to hit on a woman in any situation according to the schools that produced?

Einstein, please answer.

HerTotoDeySmell:
He made this known while announcing the reduction of the state’s ministries from 23 to 14 in a broadcast on Thursday night, during which he also announced the reduction of the number of permanent secretaries from 54 to 25.

54 Permanent Secretaries?

54?

These people are mad.

Even the UK does not have more tha 40 running the entire country of an advanced nation deeply involved in world politics. One lousy state full of villages has 54 permanent secretaries.

What were the running?

The streets of Minna?

GooseBaba:
Chineeeekee!!! See rants of mad he-goat...

My friend you have no case... The only thing you've going for you right now is ignorance. You claim to be intelligent but you cannot read and comprehend simple use of words in the context which it was used. Now the idiot is trying to apply his use of the word on his own terms.. Now you're digressing to time immemorial... Smh.. Accusing me of arguments, while the demented fool is the one raising blind argument..



If you want to showcase your stupidity here, i will oblige you.. Just make sure you post your own version from the dictionary..

Just because woman fuvk you with Love Machine and you dey vex, does not give you the right to showcase your mental breakdown on the Internet. Don't interpret my words and tell me what you think i said, read and comprehend my statement fool..!

You are a cretinous fuuktard.

You still have the balls to talk? You really don't know who you are dealing with?

I WILL humiliate, dice and roast you right here, cretin.

A cretin that does not understand the meaning of pervert and freak is talking about "ignorance"?

Fool, you don't understand the meaning of ignorance as well?

Fuuktard, you think it is a smart move to engage in that "I no go carry last" mentality with ME?

You think it is a coincidence ElightenedSoul and likes avoid answering my questions?

I will GUT your dumb arsse and feed your remnants to rats.

NoirBlvck:
According to these men, hitting on a woman during a job interview would be acceptable too, right?

Smh.

What you just said is professionally stuuupid.

During an interview, there is a possible percieved punitive consequential effect considering it is about getting a job or not, plus they are complete strangers. So it would not be appropriate during an interview because claims might be made.

When next you want to enter a debate, come with your sense.

AfroKnight:
Lol. Feminists are just angry women. They are angry at any and everything male. They want to be treated equally but still want to be handled like ladies (complete with attendant privileges, chivalry and other nonsense).

Angry, delusional, illogical, men-hating loonies!

Lol at this!!!

Exactly my point earlier!

If he was her type, then it is cool. If not, then he is sexist and it is repulsive.

Lunatic feminists.

So when the bloke was a fine guy, the girls did not see his approach as being "objectified". They were down for the sex of their lives?

mablie:
My brother,the highlighted part of your post is the root cause of this rigmarole

Without a shadow of a doubt.

Feminists are lunatics who are mentally lazy and also very illogical, hence they are not very innovative in how they attack men and demonstrate their misandry. There most frequent tool of attack is just the libido of men.

ElightenedSoul finally answered the questions?

She finally got some cohunes, some chutzpah, to answer the questions.

Oh Lord, Father of Christ, Master of Mo!!!

I am actually getting very emotional right now.

I feel like worshipping the LAAAAAWD!

HALLELUJAH!

This is my day!

I am going to church to dice and give tithe.

My God is a good God ......yes, he is.

EnlightenedSoul:
Personally speaking, I'd honestly say no - it's not appropriate. As a woman who has left jobs due to unseemly and strange af scenarios involving male co-workers and occupational superiors, I really don't think its a good idea to hit on a coworker. First off, its never a matter of just saying "no". Most guys seem to think they're the only guy hitting on the girl, but in reality there's a gaggle of them who've all had the exact same thought like twinning on effing steroids! Ted from processing, Mark from HR, Ben from financing, and ETC have all preceded you! Now, its not just one "no", but three/four/five "no's", and more and more as time goes on and new employees hit the table. Then, you've to deal with the fallout and dejected, rejected co-worker vibes flying all over the place because of said "no's". If you're fortunate enough to have Ted show some form of maturity, Mark, Ben and Alex sure as hell won't, and thus you're left with childish, egotistical BS, and wont-take-no-for-an-answer comments/questions/goading like:

"Why not?"

"Of course, you have a Boyfy. Thats the reason isn't it? Wait what...no??"

"I can blah blah"

"Don't you know that blah blah"

"Whatever you need, blah blah"

BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!

Pretty soon, it all starts to sound like this:

BUT, I can understand that there are exceptions to this. People fall in love, and it works out for them. Hence the reason I make a slight concession when asked outright. Its not so black and white, but its def more black than white.

I love the way you started with "personally".

It is obvious you are smart enough to know your position does not stand well in normal society. So I will say lets give you a round of applause.

Sorry, this is just all whining.

Saying because of all this whining, then it is inappropriate, then we can as well say it is inappropriate for guys to hit on girls in University, in neighbourhoods where they both reside, in stations where they both take to get to work or if they have the same group of friends because a girl might have multiple guys hitting on her and asked later why she is not interested.

That is perfect for crazy feminists but we don't want their crazy world.

It is life, deal with it.

People meet their partners, wives or husbands in many different places. No place is inappropriate. What is inappropriate is harassment and not willing to take 'No' for an answer.

If a man hits on a woman at work, no big deal. If he continues disturbing her after she has said 'No', then he should face disciplinary actions.

For women that have even passed their peak, the office tends to be their best source of finally nailing it because they are not in a position to go to a club to compete with young girls.

As for your whine, don't worry, you just have to bare this "nuisance" and wait a few more years. To your "relief", it would just stop and many men would not see that you exist anymore. You will finally have some peace from these "irritating interests" of men.

EnlightenedSoul:
Simplified to the barest level, the workplace place is just that, a place. LinkedIn is a tool, a specific tool designed with a fundamentally specific purpose in mind! You're obviously - and without a doubt - comparing apples and oranges. Hammers to sheds! STOP IT, there's no way you're this thick. LinkedIn is NOT a social dating site.

This is nonsense, sweetheart. Just pure nonsense.

(A) The workplace is a place you are suppose to be working where you employer pays for every minute you work, where you engage in either internal or external transaction of goods/services and your accomplishment are assessed based on these.

(B) LinkedIn is a tool for networking, socializing and meeting people, not necessarily engage in business or a transaction. It is a facebook but populated with professionals informally sharing ideas, meeting new people and/or marketing themselves for the next job. It is not a business centre or working place. No one is assessing you there, you might just prick their interest, thats all.

If one can say it is okay to hit on women A, no way can you ever make sense saying it is inappropriate at B. Worse still after your whole "professional sphere" and "accomplishment" rant.

EnlightenedSoul:
I'm a feminist through and through, and I know that'll never change so long as I live. It's worked out fine for me, thank you.

No wonder you are crazy and share such moronic opinions.

Fortunately, society is realising you feminists are loonies and the debate is there that feminism has failed.

Your likes are being kicked to the bin. Sorry, girl, you joined while the ship was sinking.

This b*i*tch just destroyed and spoilt an avenue for many women past their peak (many will be professional serious-minded girls) in attracting eligible men.

They might just have to start being the ones asking men out or they will have to start going for that jog in tight spandex and be winking at men to have a chance before it is just too late.

EnlightenedSoul:
No circles for me, Sag, and yet all the face. Simply put, workplace =/= professional networking site. Tell me, how often do you use LinkedIn to hit on women?? Was it just those two TV personalities you spoke of, or is it a common thing with you?

So after modifying your question-dodging post, the highlighted was the lame response you could come up with?

Lets try again:

So it is appropriate to approach/compliment women in the workplace and it will not be "being assessed by your physical appearance at the detriment of your accomplishments" but doing the same on a social network is?

LinkedIn is more of a professional place than where people work?

The workplace is not a professional sphere, or a place where accomplishments are assessed, but LinkedIn is?






Girl, if it is too hard to respond without looking like an idiot or being confirmed as one, then just say so.

This feminism aint working great for you.

BuddhaPalm:
Hey Sagamite,

Here's a video of this woman begging her cabbie for sex . Now that's harassment.


Woman in the video is also an attorney, btw.

Feminist Sagamite responds:

What rubbish are you talking about?

How is it harassment?

She left him alone in the end, not like if she raaped him.

Is it not men that raape women?

This is not harassment, he is just lucky such a hot women was desperate to have sex with him.

I bet he played that video to his friends several times to brag about how he can attract fine women.

So he is a lucky man, she made his day.

But if it is a man that did what that woman did, we will have a public "outrage" calling for his arrest.

EnlightenedSoul:
So you're actually one of those uncomprehending dumbnuts that make you wonder if you just became part and parcel of the dating site crowd simply from having joined a professional networking site? Seriously, eff you. You need help!

You are a cretinous fukktard!

If you want to keep talking to save face, then answer the simple questions:

So it is appropriate to approach/compliment women in the workplace and it will not be "being assessed by your physical appearance at the detriment of your accomplishments" but doing the same on a social network is?

LinkedIn is more of a professional place than where people work?

The workplace is not a professional sphere, or a place where accomplishments are assessed, but LinkedIn is?








......................I bet they are too hard for your wee brain to answer, girl.

ilobasama:
Well those are feminists for you. They attack you for any comment and action you take and turn it into a gender based war.

So she could not appreciate a simple complement, even if he had talked about something else outside her looks, she ll still find way to put it in her gender- bashed-i-am-the-victim books

She's a role model and mentor to many of our feminists females here on NL

Sagamite:
It is people that take their shyt that they can attack.

It is time people stop being politically correct and break down their stuupid highground.

ilobasama, can you now see how I said people should humiliate feminists by breaking down their stuupid highground.

She tried to escape by desperately trying to avoid my probing questions at the beginning but in the end she got suckered.

EnlightenedSoul:
Alright, confirmed. Stop using LinkedIn as a dating site, ya weirdo.

No, a feminist is a weirdo, dumbo.

Fck me! I ryhmed.

EnlightenedSoul:
Lol, I'm afraid not. Are you on something?

Shut the fck up and take your humiliation, girl.

Mimicks her: "Professional sphere", "Accomplishment", "Bodobodobodo".

EnlightenedSoul:
Do you fancy that you made an iota of sense just now??

In that one post, more sense than you will ever make in your feminist life-campaign.

Now continue showing you are at least a bit smart, girl, by avoiding the questions I asked and trying diversionary statements.

EnlightenedSoul:
Lollll, you're comparisons are whacky fun. Since when are private departures/excursions in the workplace (of the romantic variety) assessed through the individual's professional profile on a platform? Whatever does it have to do with accomplishment?

Lollllllll, so you're using LinkedIn to hit on chicks and date?? No wonder you're so bothered! We're not on the same wavelength, and you dont seem to be getting anywhere. I can't help you.

What nonsense!

So you don't think anymore that if a women's mate-attracting features is being focused on in her professional sphere instead of her accomplishment it is inappropriate?

Can you see how stuuupid you look now, girl?

NO ONE can ever sustain an illogical argument with me.

NO ONE on this planet called "Earth"!

It is impossible.

You were smarter when you were running from my questions earlier. That was the only way you could have escaped.

EnlightenedSoul:
At the workplace, like most everywhere else, you've the potential to get wrapped up in someone and fall in love. Believe me, I get it. However, LinkedIn isn't love roulette & happenchance, its a platform specifically designed for PROFESSIONAL networking. Sending DM advances to someone who signed up to LinkedIn to be assesed by their qualifications and professional profile is inappropriate, and questions the senders fundamental understanding of the site's purpose.

Cut the crap, idiot!

So you finally answered and gave this moronic attempt?

Let me remind you of the foolish thing you said earlier in the thread:

EnlightenedSoul:
How would you feel if, in your professional sphere, you were constantly being assessed by your physical appearance and so-called beauty rather than all your accomplishments, almost in spite of your accomplishments?

So it is appropriate to approach/compliment women in the workplace and it will not be "being assessed by your physical appearance at the detriment of your accomplishments" but doing the same on a social network is?

LinkedIn is more of a professional place than where people work?

The workplace is not a professional sphere, or a place where accomplishments are assessed, but LinkedIn is?

What complete stupidity!

When you have no solid logical argument, it does not take long to contradict yourself.

Let me tell you something a bit closer to home.

I bet you know the TV show called "The Millionaire Matchmaker"?

Well, I was watching it one day and actually saw one gorgeous girl with a sweet personality that I liked, so based on the little details she gave on the show (she was well educated and a profession), I googled her.

Guess the fck where I contacted her!!!

Yep. On the social network site called LINKEDIN.

Sent her a simple message that I just saw on the show and felt like popping her an invite.

She accepted and we had a chat. Which soon migrated to whatsapp.

"Oh, Lord!

I am sexist! I am a pervert! It was an inappropriate platform! LinkedIn is not meant for meeting people! That is freaky!"

What moronic tosh!

You can meet a woman ANYWHERE and compliment or ask her out. Except to you lunatic feminists.

Another one.

The show called "Take Me Out". Saw another fcking gorgeous girl on it in the UK version. Sent her an invite on ........................LinkedIn.

B*i*tch never replied. Got fcking chinned! She is not a professional, she worked in the arts.

Shows you the fcking difference between UK black girls and US black girls.
