I pray God give u more strength bro
I built a 4 bedroom bungalow recently, believe me I saw hell. People don't know what those building houses are going through.

If u are earning less than 1m don't even think about building house now...Even above 1m as a family man, it will take many years to complete the house

This is a fact. People would see you spending over a million monthly and think you are not saving, not knowing how very difficult it is to save. 500k won't take care of modest family expenses in a month.

Bluna:
Just a three bedroom bungalow I'm doing at the moment, over 10 million has gone into it and the project is just at the roofing stage. BTW, I did not pay for the land and this is not even my dream house o. I still don't know how much will complete the building but I'm already looking at 25 to 30 million. This country is in a big mess.

It's not possible for someone with that income without other sources of income. He should go and work more.

Tijani009:
If you are earning 500k in your current locality, how many years will it take you to build your dream house

If that's all your income, maybe never. If you have other sources of income good. Even for people earning up to 2million with family, it's very difficult.

damosky12:
There is no bracket earning for everyone. It depends on taste, what part of Lagos, life style, and those you care for.

A single man who doesn't drink or club or womanise would live well on 500k anywhere in Lagos with a rent of 1.5m. His mates who do these may struggle even if they earn 1m.

So one would work 3 months to pay 1 year rent? That salary is anything but comfortable.

TechCapon:
She's a foolish girl I tell you. Let me tell you what she just did, she has endangered her family's life. When bandits come to your house and ask for a girl's hand in marriage, they're not asking for permission. It comes with a threat and the family has no choice but to accept. Her parents accepted not out of hatred but fear. It's a survival strategy and they had no choice.

By running away, she has made her family a target and the bandits will be back to burn down their house and finish everyone they lay their hands on.

What she should have done is just marry the bandit

Look at what you are saying. No one should marry someone they don't love under any condition. Not to talk of someone as bad as she described. Her only option is to relocate. Whatever would be would be. She did the right thing.

so bad that with the intervention of the white man, no Nigerian there could not salvage the situation until a white man paid to free the creature. Unfortunately, it's for reasons like this that the West still controls Africans, because our mentality is what would I benefit from every situation, so they give you handouts and take your resources.

shiwex:
Any man marrying now needs to think it through properly. Most women are ex Olosho's and very few can stay in marriage lets be honest. They are used to getting resources from all types of men and there is no way one man can ever satisfy them. All those that have wasted away their twenties and now desperately going to church looking for a man to use as retirement plan. Men are now wiser thanks to social media and have realised that these women have nothing to offer a man. What does a man actually gain from marriage?

. Sex with one woman only. Kids. A companion that can cook and keep the house clean.

Brightest04:
But can't these ladies stop going to visit unknown men? It amazes me why they can't learn.

Women have mind that men do not. It's highly unlikely that a man would leave his state to go and see a woman he met online in another state. Unemployed men spend on this girls without seeing them physically and invite them to visit and they refuse to see the dangers and red 🔴 flag 🚩because of money.

Caaz:
Almost if not after two months?All these girls wee be behaving like cartons drenched by the rain
Favour agbro case didn't teach them any lessons


Truth be told,this lady is gone....2 months and 11days.

Her chances of been found is slim....All these girls should please get something decent doing and borrow themselves brain

They would not
They cannot work

When you employ them, they steal you blind everyday. Your money, your items. Even as there boss, you cannot afford to date them. Their expectations is out of this world. You cannot meet up. A responsible man who makes millions monthly hardly uses IPhones 14 to 18. That's what these girls use. Even men find it difficult to buy their wife such phones but a one night stand person with no loyalty has it.

Reading this long post is even more difficult than buying the CNG... Why do we all have to suffer in this country?

Suffering no too much? The topic says it all.

Most times the fault of the parents. It's a sign of failure on the part of the parents. Most especially the mother most times.

I totally disagree. When a person is evil, no one can change it. I experienced it and my sibling is late. Imagine your sibling working with others to kill you. I cannot blame anyone for such devilish behavior.

I personally bought an egg roll from a vendor in Bayelsa state here. The snack was good, but the egg had detergent taste and colour. No two ways to eat. That was the last time I bought anything from her. I don't even greet her. I have been justified.

chimex38:
You are right.. Thank you.
I didn't see the Naira sign earlier.

If N50, 000 is guaranteed, no need to apply.

Dangote IPO extended by 2 weeks.

Agbalowomeri:
Anything above 10k units just forget

In my opinion, anything above 1,000 units, no need.

Igbophobia:
People don't just die like that. They should investigate what killed him.

What is there to investigate? Someone attempted to kill everyone. Even if someone killed him there, it saves everyone. Nothing to investigate there.

What do you mean by using Google form as application portal?

Don't you know that someone can easily impersonate you and scam people because this is not a branded application link?

What's bad about using google form for application. There is nothing wrong with it.

OBA2503:
The most important is to go and look at the ladies mother.

That is the exact prototype your are marrying.

Thank me later.

Not necessarily. Some women's mother's are nice. They themselves are wicked. Besides, what a woman does to a man depends on how nice you are. If you are wicked or polygamous, she won't misbehave, if you are nice like me, they can be troublesome.

Godfullsam:
Who told you that keeping your male friends around you will make a stubborn wife submissive?

See dis one

A stubborn woman will disgrace you in the presence of your friends and make sure they don't come close to you again.

She will always compare you with your friends anytime there is misunderstanding.

Please tell them. A lot of people come online explaining women without being married for at least 2 years or thereabouts. You would see a woman's true colors after marrying her and some would keep it after some years. Even without marrying a woman, she can go into a relationship with you with the aim of dumping you after 5 years on a particular day and she would do it. You would be surprised what went wrong. Perhaps, nothing did. She already had the end date in her mind while being with you.

Babatunjo:
This one plenty men learn late.

She's very fine.

Educated.

Good job.

Good family.

Maybe even virgin.

Everything looks correct on paper.

But every small disagreement becomes war. She can't take correction. No respect for boundaries. Always creating drama. Everything must go her way.

And because she's desirable, you start telling yourself:

"Nobody is perfect."

"Maybe marriage will settle her."

My brother, shine your eye. 😂

Pretty doesn't cancel difficult character. Education doesn't cancel it. Money doesn't cancel it. Virginity doesn't cancel it.

People can change, yes. But don't marry somebody based on the change you're hoping will happen later.

And that ex you still remember because she was very fine?

If being with her was constantly draining your peace, stop romanticising what you lost.

Sometimes you didn't lose a baddie. You escaped a problem with fine packaging. 😂

Same applies to women choosing men too.

Choose character with your eyes open.

For those already married and dealing with serious issues, different matter entirely. Work on what can be worked on and get proper help where necessary.

But if you're still choosing?

Don't knowingly marry wahala and start praying for peace afterwards.

If you have been married previously and multiple times too, you would realize that you never can explain a person especially, a woman by looking at her from far or starting a relationship. Marry her first and you may start seeing her true colors after 2 years.

nairalanda1:
That your landlord has poor taste in women.

Also, problems are going to start when he gets old.

You have a point, but all women are the same. Some are not just as wicked as others, but they have it in their blood. Just pray for a better woman. In all, God would judge us all.

Caaz:

Baba said he's opened to RECONCILIATION.

You want to reconcile with someone that has moved on and checked out years ago.

What is she doing there? A place where your right is trampled on.

dgitrader:
Using the documented 2007 public offer as the best proxy for "~20 years ago" (Fidelity's earliest listing in May 2005 was via bank merger, not a cash public offer — the first real public offer was Sept–Nov 2007 at ₦8 per share):
Units bought:
₦20,000 ÷ ₦8 = 2,500 shares
Value today (using recent trading levels around ₦19–20.50/share):
2,500 × ₦19.20 ≈ ₦48,000
2,500 × ₦20.50 ≈ ₦51,250
So a straightforward, no-dilution, no-dividend-reinvestment estimate puts the raw share value today at roughly ₦48,000–₦51,000 — call it ₦50,000 as a round number.


What's not adding up?

Thanks for this detailed analysis.

Hmmm ... when I see th first thing an OP mentions is his qualifications ... my first thought is he does not want to be challenged .... and he's about to drop a load of BS. He certainly did.

Common sense ... simple reasoning. The US invaded Venezuela and took control of their oil. The US moved into Iran also to take control of their oil ... which resulted in the current war. Refineries.are being targeted and destroyed ...in the Mid east ......in Iran .. in Saudi Arabia etc ...the main producers The war in Ukraine has been seeing the same ...destruction of refineries in Ukraine and Russia.. The price of crude has skyrocketed... and so has the price of petrol. Presently .....petrol is still in high demand ....except in China. If refineries are being knocked out ... or not getting crude to refine .... we have a problem of supply and demand ... the demand is becoming increasingly greater with no end in sight. Is it now Dangote will sell his refinery? ... or seek to increase and expand production? Wouldn't common sense tell one he's offering the IPO to raise cash for expansion? Olodos everywhere calling common sense people olodos.

Go back and listen to him, the 2 trillion would be used for expansion but he is not looking for money. He only wants Nigerians to have a part of the company. And 2 trillion is the kind of loan he can get from one mid sized Nigerian Bank without stress. His profit for half year 2026 is more than the IPO size.
