This is a personal and very private question, You don’t have to answer it if you are not comfortable doing so.

Michilin did some of metal fabrication work for you in Lagos from Nnewi.
I would like to learn from your experience, how you guys navigated the quote submission transportation fee.

I can't remember all the details but I know he never requested for transportation fee.

From the East to Lagos.

You don't expect me not to always consider him first before anyone else for metal work.

VinesRealty:
In Lagos, there are several real estate firms that offer both built-up homes and landed properties for middle to upper-class earners, and these firms are all competing for clients by offering packages that make their properties more affordable. Some of the most popular firms include Lagos New Town, Vines Realty, RevolutionPlus, Adron Homes, Merit Abode, Richfield Limited, and Greenville Estate.

The properties offered by these firms are located throughout Lagos, and some of the most popular areas include Lekki, Ajah axis, Ikorodu, Isheri North, and Epe.

Lekki, Ajah axis

For those interested in the Ajah axis, the areas that are rapidly developing and experiencing growth include Ibeju Lekki, Lakowe, Abijo, Awoyaya, Sangotedo, Ajah, Lekki Phase 2, Ikota, and other suburbs within the Lekki Peninsula. The cost of land at Almond Vines Phase 1, Ibeju-Lekki is N5 million for 600 sqm, and payments can be spread out for up to 12 months. At Okun Imedu, a plot of land costs between N1.8 million and N5 million, and they come with Approved titles.

Ikorodu

For those interested in Ikorodu, the land is relatively cheap in areas such as Ogijo, Imota, Ijede, Igbogbo, Imowonla, Igberigbe, Igbolomu, and Isawo. For instance, in Morekete, Igbogbo, a plot of land sells for between....

You are still advertising lands for fraudulent companies like Richfield?

To you China and Russia are saints while USA and UK are follys

How did you arrive at the above assertion?

You now speak for me?

gabbytabby:
From experience if the quote is ridiculous and you try to negotiate down if they take the work it never ends well and I have had to call someone else in to complete the work or redo it.

Why would I pay someone 300k for a 150k job.

If you have a money tree somewhere in your village.

It's no crime not to give an artisan TF when coming to site to inspect for the sake of submitting an informed quote.

I don't get transportation money when going to bid for contract in my own profession.

If the client gives you, fine and good, if not, don't expect.

If the distance is an issue, ignore the job and go for closer ones.

This to me shouldn't even be an issue.

lereinter:
What you are complaining about US, China, Russia is also doing similar Taiwan Macau Ukraine etc

bric will do similar

Choose your poison

Name one country any of these countries destroyed/toppled/killed their leader.

Ukraine's issue can't be compared if you understand what happened between Ukraine and Russia since 2014.

They also took control of main and auxiliary roads and several strategic heights along the Armenia border in Nagorno-Karabakh.

All these small small LGs that call themselves countries self.

OLAADEGBU:
Why did you believe that story?

Who are these people (Assia and Lydia) to Joseph?

Apart from their direct children, most women by default can't stand other people's children.


They also can't eachother.

While most men see successful men as motivation to become successful, women on the other hand see their counterpart as a threat that must be destroyed.

Lovenorth:
As it's expected, what do you think would happen after the election? I pity miserable Nigerians that voted these psychopaths

Madness back on the roads.

hedris20:
mention name so that we can learn and we wont fall victim

Richfield Multi-concept limited is one of them.
owned by a crooked man who calls himself a pastor.

Because of him, I keep going to EFCC office.

People actually don't vote in the east, like what Obj used to do, they write results.

Zihno:
The worst part is that their defense lawyer told the judge that Nigerians treat each other as family and it is common for non related individuals to donate organs to fellow “community members “ 😂

Insanity.

A street trader in Lagos.

All the way from Abuja/East to get a street trader in Lagos.

This alone doesn't help their case.

No one in the family to help...

No friend, friend of friends or relative....

Doesn't help their case at all.

michlins:
Mayans have older written languages sef

This article is not factual

One of their so called "historical" books said Mungo Park discovered river Niger.

If we Africans can be teaching our future generations such lies, then who to blame?

Life started in Africa, yet most of the languages listed aren't from the continent.

I guess early Africans were deaf and dumb or communicated via signs.

The more you swallow lies from the west, the more they take you all for fools.

Prettyballer:
I just want advice on how to regain my consciousness and stop thinking of getting laid by my husband all the time. I also have a career i want to pursue i have goals to attain

Apart from sex, what else do you do as a couple?

What is a typical day like in your house?

Lastly, what do you do and how do you spend your day?

Lets start from the above.

naijainstinct:
lol. Funny how I was just urging her to also take your advise. Bro, my eyes see shege. Thank God for my wife. I will forever adore that woman. I lost moneyyyyyy.
My money, her money, money people entrusted with me. That 7m sef go be understatement. I used to receive monthly SMS charge debit of N4000+ just to show you the volume of my monthly debit transaction on gambling. I intend to write a book on my experience and how I overcame. I still feel the urge to gamble sometimes but when I think about how I almost slashed my own throat because I gave up on myself......Hmmm!

I surely know what gambling addiction can do to people and those around them. Got relatives that went through hell due to this addiction.

I was affected directly too. Left my business with a cousin to run while away, he started owing customers I used time and effort to gain their loyalty. None knew I wasn't around because he was in charge of my handles including my then phone number and 2 bank accounts.

He tried hiding all from me until they piled up.

It was until I returned that I saw the damage both to the business and even to my reputation.

Funny enough, I couldn't tell some of the customers it wasn't me, I just took responsibility and paid those that came forward (If he wasn't an addict and made millions for me, would I have told the customers it wasn't me?).

He had to go on a rehab program but cut him out financially.


Addiction can be so bad, even when the victim tries to break free, they still find themselves in the hole, they surely need people who won't demoralize them.

naijainstinct:
I'm so sorry about your experience. You are a good woman. I can tell from your narration. Despite your frustration, you didn't use vile words to describe your husband. You are kind, patient and calm even in the face of provocation.
I can assure you 1000% that your husband is addicted to gambling. My cousin just opened up to me recently that he was in a debt of over N2m because of gambling addictions.
There are 4 things that can make a man constantly broke Viz Alcoholism, Hard drug abuse, Paid pornography addiction/womanising and gambling. Out of these four, only two requires constant addiction to one's phone. If it were paid pornography or womanising, he won't always be on his phone. But with gambling, he will always be monitoring live scores, virtual simulations etc.
Your husband is in a deep mess and you need to help him. He is just a stone throw away from acute depression that could lead to suicidal thoughts.
I know this because I was once there. Between 2020 when COVID started through till mid 2022, I lost over N7m to gambling. My relationship was threatened but my wife is just like you, very patient and understanding. I gambled to the extent of withdrawing over 1.5m from my wife's account to gamble.
I stopped hanging out, I was always angry. I was hostile to my wife most of the time. I was in debts.

What is making it worse for your husband is that addicted gamblers are always chasing losses. They think they can borrow 200k and play safe 2 odds and quickly turn it over. But the truth is that even if he wins, he will still want to turn over again and then everything goes and the vicious cycle continues.

My wife contacted GambleAlert without telling me and they started calling me. They were helpful towards my recovery. I heard different stories. Most of the worst cases were from the East. Successful young men ruining their businesses because of gambling. A dude was sacked from GTB after they found that he was losing concentration at work and had use customer's find to the tune of N25m to gamble.

Your husband needs you. I know you want to protect his ego but you need to report him to someone he can be accountable to. You are too soft-hearted so he can't be accountable to you. Confront him that you know he is gambling. Threaten to leave him (but that's not the plan). Report him to his closest sibling or most trusted among his parents. If you don't take action, God forbid you lose your husband. He has gotten to the stage where he doesn't care what happens again. He has lost his self-esteem that is why he can borrow from your friends without shame.

There are a lot I would have written but time will not permit me. But most importantly in all of these, he must first be self-aware that gambling has ruined him (not is ruining) and should be committed to forgetting about all the losses because they can never be recovered. In between my chasing losses, I remember winning 1.8m but I didn't withdraw that money. I wanted it to hit 2m but it never did till I lost everything again.

It's hard ooo but he can overcome. I did and I know a lot of others who did. Cheers. I respect you!!!!

Corollary: I can see a lot of kids here telling you to leave your marriage. Your husband loves you and he loves his daughter but he is in a cage. Right now, he's seeing nothing but his phone, bet site and how he can hit a huge jackpot to make up for all his previous losses. Keep your ATMs away. Don't tell him about any cash inflow. The only reason you should consider leaving your husband is if he isn't showing remorse or willing to follow through with the therapy. You said he is sacred you will leave him if he tells you the truth and it is the truth. Tell him he should trust you. You are just like my wife. Whatever I tell her, she agrees. But you need to be stern to get results.

@OP

This is another sound advice.

Be very careful of the kind of advise you're getting, especially from single people and those yet to heal from their own failed relationships.

My advice:

Insist that you know what and how he got into debts and why it's recurring, his response should lead you to asking for his phone to check for gambling apps and Co. (This should be a one on one talk, probably on a weekend)

Only an addict gets to owe all the time.

Once you know it's from gambling addiction, give him an ultimatum which includes separating for a while until he sorts himself out or agree to visit a rehab. (He must also be ready to change his phone to one without internet ability for at least 3 months.

If he refuses to any of these demands, call his family (once you have confirmed its gambling addiction), explain to them and let them know you need to separate until he comes to his senses.

Another problem with addiction is, the will to change often comes from the fear of losing what matters to the victim(s), if you and his child matters, he wouldn't want you to leave which would surely push him into seeking a lasting solution.

SenatePresdo:
The Yourbas are the hate engine of this country.

They dish hate like pepper soup.

Before I thought Northern people are the real problem.
But I was wrong, the only problem of the North is that their people are vastly uneducated, and easily led by propaganda which is somewhat understandable.

But Yorubas? A region that claims to be the most educated et sophisticated.

What reason do the Yorubas have for this their madness?

I'm glad other Nigerians are watching.

Igbos can't vote in Lagos? Even during presidential election?
So much for Southern Unity championed by Tinubu in 2021 just for his ambition.

Tinubu always use divisive method and propaganda to achieve his ambition.

Yet the so called most sophisticated always fall for the cheap propaganda.

Even Seun collected money for Divisive campaign Ad to run on Nairaland.

He acted as if he was unaware.

Why wait until after Elections to apologise?

Because your mission has been accomplished?
It's only a fool that will fall for your deceitful apology...

You can ban me if you want, honestly I don't give a damn Fvck.
Seun is a bigot, fake atheist wannabe.

I'm not getting it.
logically, your comment is confusing.

The most ethnic diverse region with different people not from the region is the South west.

So how's it possible for a hate-filled region be that open to other tribes and people if they are the most hateful tribe?

Make me understand.

Throwback:
As if Hillary Clinton is not also a Christian.

Hillary Clinton the known murderer.

Was in the front burner during the destruction of Libya.

@Seun

Does this thread not qualified as a hate thread?

Tunedey0001:
Yes my stand as been about Lagos for example.

Lagos voted against it because FG will only pay to LG recognize by him and won't pay to LCDA

That's the problem that made LAGOS vote against it because he won't have say and can't force the LG chairman to pay LCDA.

Don't forget LG like alimosho has many CA under him, do you think he will distribute money to them. NO he will want to lord over them.

And you think the FG did wrong for not recognizing the 37 LCDAs created by Lagos state when the constitution also do not recognize them?

Imagine what other states would have done if the FG was paying all the 37 LCDAs differently.

I want full autonomy for the LGs.
Let LGs decide if they want to create LCDAs or not.
The state keeps using their allocations and they also decide who become who.

It's not helping development.
LGs always use the state as an excuse for not performing because the state keeps meddling into their affairs.

State already lord over LGs.
LGs should decide if they want LCDAs or not.
one LGs have autonomy, citizens within each LG can then hold them responsible for development or lack of it.

Tunedey0001:
If state likes let them create 10,000 LCDA
what I know is that the government needs to be moved closer to the citizen and FG should pay them all according to the state government formula.

Note: it won't change the amount FG will give them monthly it will just let FG knows total numbers to share among them using the state formula in distribution.

Instead of asking to give them powers to create multiple LGs, they can copy what Lagos did.

Lagos created LCDAs from the constitutionally recognized LGs.

The recognized LGs still get what is expected of them, the LGs can then decide how much goes to the LCDAs that emanated from them.

Now, if you're asking for autonomy for the LGs, then state governments have no say in the creation of extra LGs or even LCDAs.

Instead of wasting more money feeding and clothing him, gather the money and send him a ticket home.

I can boldly say that there are countries all over the world that Nigeria is 10 times better than including inside Europe and Asia.

Tunedey0001:
For those attacking state that voted against LG autonomies is that they should first give state power to create as much LG as they want then fund meant for the state should be distributed directly from FG until then I don't know how local council will be funded.

I support FINANCIAL AUTONOMIES to LG but must be done right.

Why should state determine how many LG to be created when the funding won't be coming from them?

With such power, a state government can decide that the state needs 100 LGs so as to abandon some of its financial responsibilities by transferring such responsibilities (Mostly finance) to the central government.

Cyprus of all places.

How come some of the results from the East always have the same handwriting signing for all the agents?

Same thing happened during the presidential election.

I need it in dollar to pay something online.
