Pls where did you work on it? Are you in Abj?

Bayelsa

UgoFly:
Oh! So it didn't work then.

No it didn't work.

UgoFly:
Pls after changing the rack on yours, has it gone bad again?

I didn't change the rack, it was worked on since last year. The noise is still there and it's still stiff as before it was worked. I have been using it like that for over a year. I don't travel with the car.

Melkizedeck:
Please change your oil. Use the highest grade to reduce friction and watch your fuel consumption go lower

Change engine oil?

Jovialjune1:
She's 💯 right, it's just common sense for a man to earn above 200k in this present Nigeria.

I can't employ that girl and pay her 30k minimum wage. She's not worth 30k pay as a staff. She's not worth marrying someone who earns up to a 100k. A woman's worth is not by intelligence or beauty,but how much she can bring in to the home. A woman that hesitates to bring in children like this is not bringing anything to the table.

Bahamas95:
No need getting married to him in the first place. Girls like her are from poor homes whose families can barely feed but they come online to form porche.


That's to say she got married to him outta her selfish interest because women take marriage as top priority......A real niggga won't even bother himself, na to give one serious babe belle outside sure pass and leave aunty till menopause hit her.

Someone like me won't even tell her am earning 200k or more, we go dey play the game together.

Can one really get married to a woman and without telling her, she won't know your salary. A woman would know. Even if you have a girlfriend outside, she would know, unless she has lost all interest in you. And that's dangerous.

Ologundudu2020:
To be honest, anyone trying to father a child with a salary of less than 250k monthly should be ready to be running all his life. Don’t talk down any lady giving description to her life on this. The things is I can’t marry anyone who will think it’s only me the husband to fetch all the needs for a baby we had together. Hence there is a need for one to think. There is more to life than making babies

That's normal. But no woman should have an entitlement mentality. Some people earn a lot but chose to trek to make their family tomorrow better. That's the sacrifice we all put in.

Elmojiid:
You have no reason to get married to him if he earn less than 200,000, you're liability to him already

A lot of employed men in Nigeria as at today, would never earn N200k a month until retirement. Some men take as much as over ten years after graduation to earn such. She is not ready. She should never marry.

Jennyclay:
The court should make sure the foolish man pays back every single dime he owed his wife!!

He should be ashamed of himself . Shame!!

I can’t spend my money on a man. God forbid!!! When I’m not mad!!!

That's why you don't have money and you are not bringing anything tangible to the table.

EriMma1:
Please guys,. Help me reason this matter.
I've had this client for 6 years and last year, I approached them for increment but nothing happened.

This year I threatened to leave and this people promised to do something. When the pay came in last week, na 5k dem add. Like seriously??

Meanwhile, my other clients added up to 20k, and some added 10k the same time I approached all of them last year.

So I wanted to call and ask if it was a mistake but I said let me ask round first and some my colleagues in the same field said they even tried that they have clients of over twenty years that have not added one naira to their pay.

Please, is it worth it especially now that there's serious inflation?

I once taught students home lesson over twelve years ago. Some students I collect 40k, for the same work others 20k and even 10k. Until you have too many clients, everything is negotiable and your clients may determine how much they pay. And it's not easy getting too many clients. Note they are all important.

EriMma1:
Someone that said that's all they can do for now Though it's a walking distance from my house and I do once a week and close by 12pm max.

I'm just looking at the fact that other clients are paying more and even added more than her, why are they being... Mtchew.

There's no money manage it. Or they may get someone else perhaps better than you who would do it for less amount.

jmoore:
Anyone can waste energy, whether prepaid, postpaid or estimated billing.

The only difference is that those on estimated billing do not pay for the wasted energy.

A residential apartment that is spending 70k monthly must be wasting energy. What appliances will consume that high amount?

In a GRA where I live, single apartments have so many appliances that are on 24/7 including CCTV. So I understand that.

jmoore:
They were paying 70k because they chose to waste energy.

They don't. It's people with estimated billing that on all lights and other equipment and waste energy. People with prepaid don't waste energy.

crossfm:
Cutting of cost won't solve the problem outrightly,but it's better than doing nothing.

True.

seborrhic:
What are u using that u are using 20k worth of units per month?That is even the tariff rise.
Anyone on prepaid should be grateful because even with the tariff increase,you can easily regulate your energy use.
Those on estimated billing are the ones that should be crying.

In my GRA people with prepaid meter previously use 70k a month on just one house, one household. Estimated bills is one third of that value.

crossfm:
Hehehe.

The only logical thing to do is to cut cost,cut cost and cut cost.

Freezer's and light can't be on unnecessary. Once things are frozen just off the freezer. Look for energy saving bulbs.
If you have car now plan your movement,no more using car to go and barb your hair .

I was one of those who was against the unplanned removal of subsidy. I support the removal,but is of the view that measures on how to tackle the effect of the removal, should be in motion first.

We might have backed different people during the election,but the reality on ground now is that we are now in this together.

The ones laughing the policies of the government,the ones supporting and even the neutral one,we are all in this together.

My wish is that all the sacrifices Nigerians are making now should never be for nothing.

For how long can you cut costs? How much can you cut? I kept my car at home yesterday and used Keke to work. By 6pm, the heavy rains made it impossible to use a Keke back and there's curfew of Keke not moving from 7pm. I was forced to use Bolt back home and others elsewhere used bolt too. How much expenses can you cut without increasing income or in the alternative becoming poorer. The truth is all of us would become poorer even with a higher salary as costs of everything apart from fuel have increased by above 25% in the last 6 months.

fineboynl:
Now that fuel price has gone up. What is the average price of fuel you spend in a day?

N2,500 a day from an average of N500 a day earlier this year on car alone same distance.

Sablexxxtoons:
The question is what is contactless payment.

Payment using ATM or debit card that have near field communication. It doesn't affect transactions on your bank app or internet banking.

ahnie:
10k

Forget it. Continue to beg him until you get tired or he refund you. Any expenses you spend over this issue is higher than the amount you stated there.

Jennyclay:
Indeed men are white stainers, look at how banky W stained Adesua’s white despite having the perfect wedding. Shame!!!

But on a serious note, Nigerian men are wicked, evil and heartless. Honestly, I have nothing good to write about Nigerian men.

Nigerian men are randy, stingy, rape apologist, women beater, murderer etc. I can’t even list them all, the list is long

Just avoid them! Shikena!!

How is a celebrity wedding a perfect wedding? It's a wedding of deceit. Your father fit the above description and Nigerian women are perfect?

emmyN:
They had no intentions of making good their threat of taking you to court. In fact, the police don't like to go to court for cases like this because every court case is documented and they will have to give account to their superiors how they are utilizing legal resources.

Next time be aware you can't be convicted merely on an officer's word against yours. See how they said your statement contained too much detail? That detail is what would be missing in their fabrications against you and a good lawyer could make a strong case for you.

As an adult in Nigeria, it's good to have a lawyer's number in your contacts, even if it is a pro bono one.

Beyond talking, they can detain you for several days, weeks, months or years awaiting trial. That would be a great waste of time and loss of money. So avoid them as much as possible and pray to God for them to be adequately rewarded.

Hamachi:
Nigeria’s police are notorious for bribery. I’m sure I’ve noted in an old answer related to Nigeria that we used to frequently get stopped on the road to get our “papers and fire extinguisher checked” only to be ultimately asked for money. This used to happen especially on holidays. It is a bad quality of the police force but when you look at it from another angle, you can’t blame the officers because they are severely underpaid in Nigeria.

Most times they really don’t extort you for it and instead ask rather kindly or they kind of act nice and that implies that they want some money. But it’s still kind of all bribery in the end.

I have livei in Nigeria long enough to witness it but this year, some unit of the police called the SARS has made headlines and is infamous for their unjustified halting of citizens and arrest, and often times being violent and needless to say they demand bribes, in this case extorting people for bribes (rather than “asking rather kindly” as I mentioned above). I do not know much about them but I do know that many people hate them. Many have complained of SARS officials violating their rights, and there have been campaigns for the government to put an end to this unit.

Other than that, from my experience I wouldn’t say Nigeria’s police force is the best when it comes to responding to emergencies. Many years ago, our church was robbed and the police arrived 120 minutes after being called. The station was 5 minutes away on a road that never has any traffic, and this was at night. Granted they did manage to catch some of the robbers, and this was many years ago so maybe things have changed. Things were always pretty peaceful in Ibadan during my last few years there so I thankfully never had to experience any incident that would let me know how well the police respond to crimes.

How are police underpaid? How much is their salary? I strongly disagree with that assertion. For people who are experienced in lying and formenting false stories all because of bail money that they want to extort, something that is free. Abeg, police are well paid.

Moh247:
I hate Police Stations and Hospitals... I don't just go there

Two places where no one cares for you.

Adonispco:
I knew that this question will spring up and am ready to answer this with all honesty.

In the place I live we have 'the landlord who is married with kids, a bachelor who is due for marriage, a single mother who is focusing on her business, my parents whom i still live with and that troublesome neighbour'.

In the aspect of my neighbours daughther; to be honest I will explain few of her misdemenour cause she is actually the little imp i underated;

I am a blacksmither working under someone and due to the nature of the job we normally have resting day(s) at least a day every week.
So whenever am at home reading or surfing the internet i also pay attention to things happening in my surroundings; until I noticed changes in the behaviours of my Landlord's kids who always play with that my neighbour's eldest daughther.
She lured my two landlord kids a boy and a girl ( 7 & 9) years old respectively into (fornication) ie an abominable act .
Yes that imp did that cos she always lures them into a room with disguise of playing with them and locks the door to avoid been caught.

She have made several attempts of seductions towards me, let me not go further on that imp lifestyle cos using (misdemenour) is an understatement.

I saw many seductions from both mother and daughter.
When they saw that i cant be compromised, and I will be a barrier to their devilish mission she and her mother came up with that heavy allegation so that I can be silenced.

I can swear at any given time that I never gave those my neighbours kids 'mirinda and Biscuit'.

Park out of that place and stop explaining to unknown persons like us.

superemmy:
[/b]

Someone made a heavy accusation that he attempted to murder their children by poisoning and you're neither seeing the levity nor gravity of the accusation. There must be something seriously wrong with your perception

Does the man have money to cause trouble via lawyer or police. The answer is no. If he does have the money, he won't be living in a one room apartment. He would have parked out since January five months ago.

malcom1X:
This is why I don't play with neighbors children, they don't greet me, me I no even want them to greet me.

I no send them.
Every guy wants to hit on the man's daughters, me I no get time.

I go work, I come back I enter my house sleep no one begs me for lighter or anything. Me I no beg them for anything.

Everybody dey their dey.


The only communication I have with the man is good morning while I'm leaving to work and good evening while I'm going inside the house.

Shikena. Them don call me names tire, call me cultist etc.
The day I was on leave the wife said I lost my job.

And then dey talk am make I hear.
While I'm leaving to work. Me I no send them.

It hurts to be them and not getting a reply from me.
I no reply I no send them.

Right thing to do. Op nova see problem so he dey form familiarity and friendship wey no go profit am.

ab1x:
And you think someone who lives in a face me I slap you can afford a lawyer ?

Lol. People like trouble and Dem no get money.

@ Op, stay on your own and forget about the reputation
No one neighbor or their kids should come to your house and same with you. Don't share food or anything apart from Nepa bills. Pray to move to a better apartment ASAP where possible before next house rent and in any new place you go don't share things as explained above for your safety, comfort and respect. The reason for the accusation is that you have given them or the children things to eat previously. So never do that even on holidays like Christmas.

Manny21:
The banks' top managers are reaping where they did not sow. Imagine a bank director earning about fifty million naira as salary while the rank and file of the banking industry earn take-home that will not take them home. Loyalty for what?

The highest paid bank MD in Nigeria don't earn N50m a month as salary.

UptownVibes:
I sleep two hours during the day,and another two ,three hours at night.. Doctor been say 6hrs o.. Hustle no dey let person see sleep sometimes sef I can not be sleeping, while customers are waiting..

Seven hours a night

Nice2023:
Why do most govt employees end up retiring very poor and wretched.

What might have caused it?

Lack of savings from every month salary.

Essenza01:
I really don't know anymore, i just did my budget for the month and i am scared, i have cut from everywhere possible and i fear for my self.. i dont have a GF, Wife, Children.. my salary is N400,000 and i have added side businesses and one or two's to even survive.. but with this fuel increase, what else is left... zero savings..

Total = N556,500...

My rent is average rent for where i stay, its a two bed flat, i use the other room for home office..

Feeding is N2,000/day.. its not anything out of the ordinary.. tried cooking and spent more with time wasting.

Fuel for car is at the new rate of N500/ltr, my car is a 70ltr car tank..

Auto maintenance is basic brake pads, shocks, service 2mths, tire guage, police pr, tire purchase if any, minor touch ups etc... nothing major.

Fuel for generator is 20ltr/day (2hrs or less daily)

I need help.... how are you people doing it, what am i doing wrong? The rat race is killing me..

You are living above your means of livelihood. You should be saving 300k a month. Go for a house of say 350k, 30k a month. Fuel for car 20k. Enter public transport. Stop using a generator. Savings from above 288k. Thank me later. I do same with wife and two kids.

TheLoneCitizen:
The good thing about this start, it can't get any worse from here.

Don't be too sure. It would definitely spiral to other sectors of the economy negatively over time.
