Been there bro. Balling in millions monthly and the next thing you know, down to ground zero with absolutely nothing to show for it. When I was balling I was carefree because I felt even if the worst comes to the worst, I could make the money back - until I lost the money and at the same time all the avenues I was looking at suddenly went dry.

You have to simply adjust to your new reality and start from there. Life does go on.

please expatiate this

My regrets so far are
1. Building house first as a young guy in my early 20s instead of investing in business. ( I know some people will say, building house is good , but I tell you , if you’re yet to get your own family , please expand your business first , when you get steady flow of income , it’ll be very easy to build
2. Not investing in crypto 2years ago especially shiba.
3. Wish I started trading earlier
4. Lost a big opportunity on nairaland due to anger and lack of few min patience.

I can attest to the greatness of Ui, Unilag and oau.

It’s virtually impossible to save a dime from that 75k honestly except you want be suffering yourself unnecessarily .


You can only save after your basic needs have been taken care of.

Solution to your problem is to think of another way to earn more money.
I spend between 12-15k daily these days . It covers food,data,fuel etc. how do you survive on 2500 daily ?

Please don’t listen to Foôlish motivation, try to double your husle and earn more, that way you’ll save easily.

May God be with you

You’re on point .

You’re fond of accusing people wrongly .
Same way you were quick to quote me when someone talked about scam link .

A stronger bite force is all it's got over the grizzly. A grizzly is by order of magnitudes stronger than a silver back. A grizzly can also tank whatever the silver back can dish out because of its thick fur and tough hide.

I love your use of English words..

Like if you think we’re in bull , share if you think we’re still in bear.




Cos as e be now, I confuse no be small .

Goes to show you that an average woman is violent and can’t handle power if given the chance.

Tbh, if not that such issue can escalate later on, Walai I go change am for them.

Flows001:
No she didn't see any sign before then, she was already an entrepreneur who was staying on her own, fending for herself and school, she even helped me with finances in my final year in the University, so she wasn't lured because of money, he merely toasted her like every other guy and he looks quite young.
She even took extra step to go stay at his house for two weeks in Abuja, just to know more about him, and he introduced her to basically all his colleagues and friends, none of them showed any negativity.

She was just an innocent victim which at this point is quite unfortunate.

Lmao, stop defending your sister , afterall if you know what to do, you would not have brought it to nairaland in the first place.
You’re not your sister! You can only know what she wants you to know. Na she Dey relationship with him , technically , you can’t conclude that she didn’t see the sign.
And you said that the guy in question is supportive and caring, definitely she fell for ‘free food’.
As much as you might not want to agree cos it’s a bitter pill to swallow, but then I tell you,
If you sister leaves that relationship and becomes single mother, verily I say unto you, she will regret it.
98% chances are that she will regret it, chances of her marrying a single guy is very slim.

Mind you , single mothers are finding it hard these days, most of them are seen as sex objects. Dem go knack her beyond repair.


I know how she feels , cos it’s not what she wanted, but this life, you can’t have it all. You’ll have to compromise as some point.


Cheers📍

Oluwa bao wi. For where?

Tbh, big boy Dey nairaland o , 175m Tesla no be beans

To some extent, I think he’s making sense.
I realized this lately. Tbh, how no be better investment in this part of the world . It’ll take you atleast 40 years to realize your capital alone if you build for rent.

However if you’re building for your children or to sell , then it makes sense.
To young guys out there, establish business boss, no rush go build one yeye house .

So sars still Dey ? Omo

The ever merciful God that I serve will never let my son be like you.


I pray everyday against this attitude in my son. My son will forever be loyal and Obidient to me no matter his financial or economic status tomorrow just as I have been to my parents despite my little success in life, and God will answer my sincere prayers, AMEN.


Dear Lord, please may I never witness a better yesterday till I join you after I have clocked 90yrs in good health.



May I continue to have more than enough to take full responsibility of my fatherly responsibilities to my biological and adopted children, husband responsibilities to my wife, sibling responsibilities to my siblings, uncle responsibilities to my nieces, nephews, son's responsibilities to my amazing parents, to my fathers in the Lord, to you my able God and to the house of God, my neighbors, to my community, employees, business partners and to everyone I come across.


Listen, I made my first millions before I turned 18 and I submitted the whole of it to my elder sibling to manage.


I am approaching 40yrs now, I am married with kids, I am an employer of labor, a lot of people work for me both at home and at my offices. I can say I have tried in my own little way at my age but guess what? I am still loyal and obedient to my father's counsel even though he doesn't live with me and he is above 80yrs and now residing in the village.


Whenever I travel home, I dare not leave my own house after 6pm without telling my aged father where I was going cos he will be worried.


Even at my level and status in life, I don't keep late night, and if for any reason I have to, I must call my wife and inform her.


This your unruly attitude is one of the things that scares me about sending my kids abroad soon, though I trust the God I serve to help me train them while I do my best. Your action towards your father was so so bad and unruly I must tell you. Even well trained white kids don't do this to their parents, its only common among black kids abroad, especially those born in US and UK.


Young man, go back to your father and kneel down and apologize to him today, don't let another night pass before you do that or else, you maybe tampering with your future growth and lifespan.

I pray to God deep down my heart that you will live to eat the fruit of your labor . Infact, while going through the comments, reading yours gladdens my heart.

Some of una sha get strong head

I’m honestly interested in this ,

LagosFirstSon:
Initial gragra as usual . Buhari did more than this at the begining of his first Time.

But seriously, Bola Tinubu is too ugly , president no fit am.

tbh, you’re very daft

Ofemmanu1:
IGBO in their confusion, infusion and frustration arising from pride and over estimation of themselves leading them to a series of saboteur maniac syndromes.
Igbos broadly divided other Nigerians into three broad categories- Those they hate, those they deride and those they fear.
Those they hate are the yorubas whom they call traitors, tribalists and cowards. Yet no race in Nigeria have been more tribal than the IGBOS.
There are historical facts to prove this. If something is ten and igbos are not allowed to take 15, so that the rest of us can share minus 5, lgbos will cry marginalisation and label the rest us tribalists.
However there is no race in this country that have been more accommodating of the lgbos than the Yorubas, there is no single igbo leader that did not grow up in the South West or is a beneficiary of Yoruba largesse.
Zik went to CMS GRAMMAR SCHOOL, Adolphus wabara went to AHMADIYA COLLEGE AGEGE, Ken Nnamani went to LOYOLA COLLEGE IBADAN, Ojukwu and Ekwueme went to KINGS COLLEGE, Okpara went to YABA TECH while Phillip Emegwali went to AQUINAS COLLEGE, AKURE. Even my brother Anadu went to IMADE COLLEGE OWO, Peter OBI made Lagos Home after 8years of Ruling Anambra etc.
All major Igbo politicians cut their political teeth in the West. Their major religious leaders cannot thrive outside the West.
Pastor Muoka, Pastor Ezekiel of Four Square and Okonkwo of TREM are examples.
I remember that after the civil WAR, Igbos who came back to ILE IFE were allowed TUITION FREE while the YORUBAS in NSUKKA were rusticated. Example is Pastor Adeboye.
Yet lgbos reserve their greatest hatred for the Yorubas for reasons being that the yorubas refused to be dominated by the yebbos to confront the North.
As to the label of cowardice, had there been any war between the yorubas and the lbos in which the lbos defeated the Yorubas? In the whole ancestral history of Ndigbo, which war has the forefathers or great forefathers fought? Any empire in their history? Yet the yorubas have worsted the lgbos FIVE times in the political history of Nigeria.

As to the label of treachery, had there been any agreement the yorubas signed with the yebbos and they reneged? The answer is no. Yet the yorubas have records of Igbo treachery on the two occasions they formed alliance with them. In 1964 to fight the federal election, the yorubas formed an Alliance called UPGA with the Ibos to be led by Okpara because major Yoruba leaders were in jail.
There was an agreement that the election must be boycotted. The Igbos sabotaged it, went and contested election while the West kept to the agreement.
In 1979 the West went into alliance with the lbos and formed PPA - PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE ALLIANCE.
Again Igbo sabotaged it so that they can produce Speaker house of Representatives. Who then is traitor?

The second category are the Eastern minorities made up of present Rivers, Akwa lbom, Cross Rivers and Bayelsa. The igbos see them as subhuman with tidal brain. Until the creation of Rivers State by Gowon, no OGONI man can sleep on the hospital bed in Bori GENERAL HOSPITAL . As at 1977 only UYO ,PHC and CALABAR had electricity light. They were so underdeveloped by their Igbo overseers that you will think that you were in the Congo jungle.
Until Diette Spiff, there was no Ikwere named Street in Port Harcourt. To show how deep the derision is, the present Biafran agitatators changed the name of RIBISI (Phc) to IGWOCHA as if the IKWERES do not exist.

The third category are the Hausa Fulani.
The igbos pretend to hate the Fulanis but the truth is that the Igbo man is subservient to them. Ignore the noise. There are historical facts to justify this. Zik served under BALEWA, EKWUEME served under SHAGARI and EKEREMANDU zoned the PDP presidency to the North because he wants to be the VICE PRESIDENT to a Northerner.
After the civil war and OJUKWU was granted amnesty for his rebellion against constituted authority, he returned to Nigeria and he joined the Hausa fulani party (NPN) of those he accused of genocide against his Igbo people. It is Igbo tragedy that they hate and deride those who grow and sustain them while they cringe to those(the hausas) who kick them like balls.

Igbos are the only race in nigeria that celebrate failure. In 1982, the igbos celebrated the defeat of biafra by welcoming ojukwu with fanfare on his return from asylum haven been granted amnesty by the igbo overlords- the hausa fulani. He revelled in the fanfare and promptly married FFK leftover Kpekus(Bianca)- Forgetting the over 3million lgbos that died in the war and with many of them languishing at OJI RIVER CAMP.

The second celebration is the release of kanu with the most humiliating bail conditions ever granted an accused in the annals of Nigerian justice system.
A bail conditions targeted at the entire Igbo race and granted by an Hausa Fulani judge, i could not believe that with all the noise, such bail conditions will be signed. But he signed and in his eagerness to leave kuje he abandoned his two conspirators in kuje.
The bail conditions wiped out the Identity of the ibos and EKEREMANDU was made the enforcer of the conditions.
Now Kanu is back at kuje prisons eating watery beans and Ekweremadu is languishing away in UK detention.

Pandorra Obituary was encumbranced fair and square with Ewedu and Amala Politicking pricision engineered by no one but the Jagaban, yet yeebhoes are still crying marginalization with Nzogbu-nzobu headless mob.

FFK is a polemist like Femi ARIBISALA and Deji ADEYANJU etc. They have the capacity to argue both sides of the same point. The igbos regard them as their hero just like Ayo fayose the Eze gburugburu the second and a comedian -Mr. Macaroni.
I hope very soon the igbo will not start blaming them as they blamed Awo for everything that went wrong with their prosecution of the biafran war.
Now a certain Opportunist named Patrick Chinedu Rhodes-Vivor who's riding on the back of Tinubu tenant in Lagos- Peter OBI and supported by the Gala sellers association of Lagos is threatening to Remove Oba AKINOLU if he become the Governor, he forgot the Yoruba saying that says- A child that said when he grow-up, he'll make Rattle-snake' head his Favourite meat, y'all know the rest.
I rest.

Jesussssssssss omo

Madmohamed123:
Nigerians are mugu the government just they use your brain because they know that you people are not thinking like a human being

Every year they come out whit this nonsense of removal of subsidy from #85 after Jonathan to #800
By next year they will say we will remove it again and the price will go up to #1600.

The question you Nigerians should ask is why are you still paying subsidy and the price of petrol is going up

Where is the money for subsidy going to

The fact is they don't want to tell you they removed subsidy immediately after buhari take over they just using it to increase the petrol price

The government are working whit oil cabal's they know what they are doing.

They are using back door to increase the petrol price to avoid trick

you’re very daft. I’m sorry to say .
