It's not possible. Three weeks nagging can't affect a man. It has to be more than six months, a year or more.

Any person you give your key to can cook in your house and eat, without permission or lying. That she's lying, shows she is who she is not.

This should not be an issue, because the Igbos are the first to have king and do ibo festivals with masquerade and other things in other people's land. It's so irritating.

Food / Re: I Bought This Plantain For 7,500 Naira In Ado-ekiti by smasher1(m): 4:11pm On Aug 24
Ayokequeen:
I was coming from work 2 says ago and I saw two bunches of plantain displayed for sale, I quickly packed and told my wife to go and confirm if it would be affordable but to my surprise my wife came back with the bigger bunch for just 7,500 Naira.

Some things are still cheaper here in Ado-Ekiti but not always like that.

I do buy such straight from the farm from between 4,000 to 5,500.

Ayokequeen:

But it's actually 34pcs so divide it by 7,500 Naira. It's 220/pcs.

The plantain of this size are sold at 3pcs for 1k, so I think the price is still fair.

You bought in bulk, a bunch at N220, it's way too expensive. It used to be 4 or 5 for 200 naira 3 years ago. At the rate of N220 per one, N300 is a fair retail price considering the fact that it may get spoilt before finishing selling .

Let me tell you the truth, your wife only respect you because you have money. Try and bring little or no income to the family for six months to one year, and you can be able to say this. Only unemployed husbands can truly say my wife respects me.

Women don't respect you. They only fear God which makes them look respectful. But this is important but not easy for any woman.

Business / Re: CAC Extends Deadline For Registration By FINTECH Operators by smasher1(m): 4:59pm On Jul 07
ElevationD:


How do you know operators who are not registered with CAC?
Will CAC go around the streets to find out? Or is it the job of the Police people?

It's the banks that would restrict the customers account pending regularization.
Business / Re: CAC Extends Deadline For Registration By FINTECH Operators by smasher1(m): 6:44am On Jul 07
ElevationD:
Ok.

Does CAC have the power to make such pronouncement? How would CAC find out those who have complied with the requirement recently demanded by government? I thought the job of CAC is to register business names. Is it not the job of the law enforcement agents to arrest and prosecute those who have failed to comply? Will CAC hit the streets to arrest and prosecute those who failed to register?

And by the way, what would happen to operators in the remote communities, or those who are in areas that are difficult to access by roads?

Is registration free of charge for them? Or has CAC given incentives like reduction of the registration fee for POS operators who have so far not complied?


Too many questions. Simple answer, all the regulator needs at the end of the deadline is to tell the banks to freeze accounts of operators not registered pending when they would submit required documents and have access to their accounts again.

The reason why we lag in every aspect, we are quick to judge people based on their appearance.

That appearance is a No No especially to a guy's mother. It's like she's not interested in the relationship. If the man is irresponsible, the mother expects a responsible girl to help her son not the other way around.

I spend more than 1m a month, but I drop money daily so I can track the expenses.

Hello people,
Please I need some advice.
We live in PH, and have 4 kids. The oldest is 10 while the youngest is 6. I give my wife 700k every month, and this includes general upkeep and maintenace and fuelling of our car (Lexus 330). I don't drive the car (I dey leg, while she uses it to run around, which includes school runs and her business).

I no dey chuk eye for her business. Bu I am getting frustrated as she still makes me believe that the money is not enough. I pay electricity bill (band A) and house rent (3m pa) yet every now and then she puts bills on my head. It is driving me crazy.

When I tell her to list out her expenses so I plan with her, she picks offence. I am really tired of the whole thing and don't know how else to approach the issue without causing too much problem. I know some men whose salaries are 250k-300k in PH, yet they are surviving.

Bros, ensure you build your house and move out of that expensive house/neighborhood ASAP.

700k and she can't keep it together for a month?Your wife is going over the top really. Maybe she knows how much you earn and feels she deserves more.700k can sustain the average Nigerian family and there will be nothing lacking in regards to feeding and groceries.

If you pay sch fees then your wife is not a good manager.

You need to sit her down and get involved in the family expenditures.

He's not involved. He should give her money daily even if it's transfer and he should record his expenditures on an app like money manager etc and see how much he spends monthly. He may end up willingly giving her the money as before. But he should cut costs. Some things can wait, some are not necessary.

You are living in a rented house and spending N700k a month just on food and fuel? That's too much! You'll need to lower your standard of living. What if you experience a temporary setback in your job or business over several months or a few years? I don't wish you bad o, but things happen!
Your wife is the one setting the standard and not the kids. It is her desires and fears that she's projecting onto the kids, and making them get used to getting branded quality meals all the time. It is what you give your kids that they'll become used to overtime.
Give her less, invest more (money market fund, FGN bonds, sukuk, treasury bills, stocks etc), save more, plan for your future. Your kids are still small, they'll need much more funding as they grow.

From his explanation, he's spending close to 1.5m monthly. I just hope he's saving at least one million monthly. If he's able to do that, he can continue spending. If he's unable to save 1m a month, he should cut down on his expenditures and he would survive. It's not easy but it's doable.

Thank you my brother. If I am in charge, I go very low, I no send anybody because nobody feeds me.

Yes, she makes fresh juice every morning for their lunch in school. The kids got tired of the fresh juice that they ignore it and return with it sometimes. Now she buys other drnks like yoghurt, chocolate and milkshake. Said she will be alternating them so they still drink the fresh juice when she gives them.

She complains i am too strict, and sometimes go for cheap things at the expense of quality. Always blackmailing me with the kids' health. That was why I withdrew a bit, before I'll be blamed if my kids fall sick. But, no be naija we dey? They still fall sick once in a while. It was in that regards she stopped them from drinking any other water but Eva.

I know some of these are not neccessary, but I just look away sometimes in order not to be 'too' strict'.

For comparison of standard, it's a NO. She knows nobody dares that in my house. Na she just set the standard, which if allowed, i will definitely lower it. Once in a while we dey clash, but you know how e dey be.

Stop buying Eva water. Buy Cway water. Put the water in water bottles. You would still maintain standards. Try that in other aspects in the house too. Buy bulk items not small, small, it's cheaper that way. Instead of using expensive detergent or toothpaste, use cheaper ones. I started doing same when I got a shop.

First of All, reduce your expenses. 250k a month on house rent is too much. Look for a cheaper place. You may need to leave band A area to a cheaper area. The amount you are giving your wife monthly is not much, but it's best to monitor it by giving her in piecemeal daily and not monthly, you may see that she spends more than that amount. I do spend more than that. Live simple. Not easy, but possible.

It's too small. I spend about a million monthly and still save. I can't lie to you, I don't get many basic cheap things done. making hair for the three other people in the house is very difficult. I wonder how others survive that have not seen a significant increase in remuneration in the past one year or more.
