It's just too much and its impacting negatively on a struggling economy like ours.
As I type this, the US market is already on pre market trading, and will open trading by 2.30pm Nigerian time.
Their SEC has also been working on a proposal for 24hrs trading! |

sonofElElyon: And he lives a very moderate life.. no ostentatious living... And that is one aspect of him I personally find impossible to emulate, talking about living a very moderate life style e.g using a same car for many years, living in same house for over 35 years etc. It is a definite hell NO for me, though not intended to ostentate but to at least be able to enjoy the best of what I have worked for, that my money can buy. |

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Why Are Some Bosses Heartless? by sophy17(m): 12:57pm On Mar 03, 2022 |
Truthsoldier: Good Nairalanders I have this friend of mine(name withheld),he used to be a teacher in a secondary school,but late last year he was given an employment opportunity through connection from his dad because the manager has this mutual relationship with his dad,my friend is intelligent,smart and humble,that's his character.
When he got a job in that company it has made him not to have enough time for himself, according to him,he works from Monday to Saturday,even risking his life by going to work on sit-at-home days since he's in the East of Nigeria, this has also affected his church activities, and he closes by 5 sometimes 8pm everyday, because the director I.e the owner of the company has mandated everyone to.
The company pays him moderately but he is loosing his peace,he doesn't rest well,stressed out,and according to him the director uses people slavishly in the company,the few months he has worked there the company pays lately and quickly deducts money in ways that are quite unfair,they give no leave to workers,they give you just two days to attend to some emergency like death of a loved one,you come to work even very ill and with a doctor's report.
My friend told me that he has been observing it ,the director is so bossy and talks down on people arrogantly and disdainfully, working there one day a worker lost his dad and had to attend to it,but unfortunately stay for 4 days, but when he came back, instead of to be sympathized with,he was insulted by his boss, queried and sent home, just for the day he arrived.
Now my friend is thinking of leaving there,but they promised him of juicy offers,in terms of salary, but being also affected by this,he thinks that that's not the right place for him,a place according to him has no medical officials incase of dangers or accidents,a place of no welfare package for workers,now he is in between trying to please his dad or quit the job no matter what,because he just told me that his heart is no more there....
But my question is; Why do some companies treat people as slaves? Because people allow themselves to be treated as one for monetary gains! |
Family › Re: I Am Tired Of My Wife by sophy17(m): 5:45pm On Jan 18, 2022 |
Prospertochu: I am married with three kids 2 years and 3 months triplets, my salary is 55k. I used to give my wife 20k, mother 10k, 5k for rainy days and 20k for myself transportation and other expenses outside my house.
My wife complained that the money was not enough I added 5k making it 25k monthly but she still demanding for more money and she has threatened to leave if I don't give her more.
I had no money to give her, my own mother was homeless staying in church and I couldn't stop giving her that 10k because she needed it. My wife used to fight me every single day and my uncle asked us to leave the family house as we were disturbing their peace and I was ready to let her go and I will be sending 25k for our triplets upkeep every month but for the sake of our kids we have settled down with 30k monthly leaving me with 15k.
So far, we have moved out of the family house, we are staying in a parlour and room house a brother from Canada gave us the place it is not permanent but it is better and we are very very grateful.
Like I said earlier my mother was staying in church, now we have a one bedroom house I have discussed with my wife for my mum to come and live with us and I will stop the 10k I was giving her and I will add it to her money making it 40k monthly, she has agreed.
Now that my mother is here with us, she started again with the 40k is not enough to feed all of us, note I don't eat breakfast, I eat lunch at work and in the evening I eat at home. She is only giving my mother food in the evening while she and my kids eat 3 Square meal a day.
I asked her why she is treating my mother so badly she said the economy is hard if she doesn't have she won't kill herself. I am sick and tired and if I have sorted things it was for the sake of our kids and now I am starting to regret. I am thinking from this month when I get my salary I will give her 30k and give my mother 10k to be cooking her own foods.
Is my decision good? 40k is grossly inadequate. You can try use it yourself to feed the family and you will understand that it isn't enough at all. What you must do now is to take advantage of your mum's stay with you to let her look after your kids while your wife also start bringing something to the table as income no matter how small. Let her do business not salary work. Quote me if you need business she can do that requires zero capital. |
Romance › Re: My Girlfriend Ran Away Because Of My Proposed Family Financial Plan by sophy17(m): 8:59pm On Jan 03, 2022 |
bigpicture001: My girlfriend whom I have planned to settle down with simply started acting cold and eventually stylishly slide out of our relationship because I sat her down and made a family financial support proposal to her in which she will be financially committed to running the proposed family we intend to raise...
These are the proposal...
1. She earns about 80k wile I earn about 300k.. I asked that we jointly contribute for all the children's Career funding starting from when we get married even before any of their birth.. I proposed 10k monthly from her and 40k from me to a trust account. From it we plan to fund all the children's Career from kiddagatten to varsity or which ever path they choose..
2. That sh choose between Nepa bill or DStv or gotv sub monthly..just one for her
3. I will be responsible for rents
4. We pay into another joint account for vacation once in two years..like sh puts in 20k I put in 50k monthly..
5. I provide all the heavy food stuffs required in the house in large quantities including gas ND change of electronics, but sh provide all the daily food supplements to mk mine complete.
6. She buys her clothes ND I buy mine but we can both surprise ourselfs with gift to the other..
7. I will buy the family car ND maintain it. If she buys no p.
8. I didn't rule out surprise gifts once a while and outting which I bankroll ND expect her to do same occasionally..
Plz oo nairalanders are these responsibilities to a wife too much for her, I mean one who works and earn over 50k...? Talking from experience, you really need to be smart with this and not coming out point blank like this so you don't end up with a desperate girl. Just look out for qualities of a good wife in the girl you're dating and you're good to go. When I met my wife about 20yrs ago, she was only a student but then she hadly visited without bringing something i needed to my flat and will never demand for the money used in getting it, even though she is from a poor home. I tested her in several ways and she did very well. I then married her in less than 7 months into our relationship. She is now even doing triple more now without any coersion or pressure. Mind you, I invested heavily in her after seeing her qualities and she never disappoint till date. Today, she is a multi millionaire! |
Romance › Re: How My Ex Humiliated Me On Christmas Eve by sophy17(m): 6:21pm On Dec 29, 2021 |
GurlFriend: I see a bunch of threads here created by guys who see nothing good in the women folk, but if I start writing about the evils that men commit, the mods may move the thread to the literature section.
My Experience
I am pretty, well kept and groomed and at an age where although I may not be a spring chick, I am still young enough to attract attention from guys in their early 20s who have no qualms about toasting their elder sister's age mates. I have had my fair share lovers but I am currently sworn off men till such a time I recover from the trauma of my latest experience in the hands of the 'ejaculating gender.'
My now ex, let's call him Kingsley was supposed to be a godsent. He is fair, heavily bearded, handsome and a single father. He is also terrible in bed. TERRIBLE. He doesn't last more than 4 minutes, and once he reaches the four minutes mark, he spurts his disgusting seed into the condom and goes limp for the rest of the time with him. Even if I squeeze and massage his small member like bitter leave, he will remain limp like golden penny noodles.
That did not stop me from giving two years of my life to him because I genuinely loved him and felt I could cope with the terrible sex; man shall not live by nacks alone. I had met his family, he had met mine, we were literally 5 and 6. We fixed the wedding for January 8 next year. I'm looking at the stupid IV as I'm typing this.
So we closed for the year at my work place on December 24th and I decided to spend the evening with him. We had agreed that no more nights over till the wedding since it was barely a month away, so we might as well start living right before God. None the less, I had closed by 2pm, I didn't look forward to spending the whole evening in my hot apartment alone so I, against better judgement went to his place and let myself in. His line of work doesn't give him the luxury of closing early like me, so the apartment was also empty but he has a generator and AC.
I settled in, began watching movies on his laptop. I don't know the devil that pushed me to leave the film I was watching to start snooping through his files. In my two years of dating I have never gone through his phone or PC because if you cherish your peace of mind, never snoop through your partner's devices otherwise you will see things. What you are looking for, you will find it.
He has this folder in his laptop called 'Don Quixote.exe' which I see all the time. I asked him what it was some time back and he casually said they are program files and if I mess with them, I will disorganize his laptop. The same devil I had earlier mentioned pushed me to open Don Quixote, and behold, what did I see?
Gay porn. Man nacking man. Woman nacking woman. My fiance is gay, I think. Or bi-sexual. I don't know. My hands are shaking again.
I'm so hurt. Photos upon photos of homosexual and lesbian contents. But this is not where the story ends.
After the initial shock of these disgusting photos, I was confused, shocked, disappointed. I quickly shut down the laptop, prepared dinner (Indomie) and cried myself to sleep on the bed because I'm a very emotional person. I took Lexotan so I could sleep.
Around 10, I think, Kingley came back. He didn't know I was in the house because I left the lights off. He, however didn't come back alone. He came back with a guest. A male guest. I know this dude is his lover because I know him from the office and I have always been suspicious of his sexuality. What kind of masculine man wears purple skinny jeans and wiggles his bum when he thinks no one is watching? I also saw a TikTok video of this guy dancing, wiggling his bum and twirling his dreadlocks?
That is the colleague Kingley brought home by 10 in the night.
Anyway, Kingley walked into the bedroom, saw me and the guilt written all over his face made me ask him who was in the parlour with him after hearing another male voice. When he couldn't give a coherent answer, I went to the parlour and saw Uncle Purple Skinny jeans. Now added to the gay porn I discovered in his laptop, you will not blame me for having a meltdown. I yelled, screamed, cussed, threw his ring into the toilet and flushed it. I ordered Uber to my parents house that night and spent 25th chopping breakfast with tears.
Two years, with a bi-sexual man. Or maybe he is gay himself. I don't know. He has been begging me not to expose him to his family, but it's too late. I have told my family and they intend to formally let his family know that their daughter cannot marry a 'confused' man, as my father says.
What do men want?! Two years of my life, plus all the wedding expenses, gone down the drain. I am so heart broken and humiliated.
I don't want to say men are scum because I have a wonderful father and loving brothers, so I will leave it. I'm done with men. Gosh!!!!! You've been a bit careless but thank God you discovered before it is too late to opt out. I however think and advice that you should see how you may be of help to him especially if he recognize the fact that he needs help. Maybe, you can help him pull through it. The fact that he doesn't want to be exposed means he knows he is doing the wrong thing. He needs help. All hope is not lost for him. At least, he nacks for about 4 mins. |
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Should I Quit My Job by sophy17(m): 8:11pm On Dec 23, 2021 |
Idowu116: Hello Everyone,am new here and I see the way people share opinion about what they are going through in life so I decided to share mine too.
This is a little bit long please bear with me. Am a 22 year old undergraduate.I finished my secondary School in 2017 but couldn't further my education because my parents (father particularly) are financially down.
I didn't even attend my graduation party party because my dad refused to get me the clothes we chose to wear in my class.
So out of shame,I didn't attend the party and I haven't even collect my certificate and testimonial till today.
Later in November that year (finished school in September),I decided to start looking for a menial job so a friend helped me with work at a particular market in Lagos, where I wash shoe for shoe sellers.
I did this till 2020 in March before the Corona virus issue started.
So around December I resumed the work again till early April, this year.
A friend of my mom helped me get a job at a bank,to work as a cleaner.
All this while, my dad and mom had a serious fight and my dad stopped living with us.
My father is a stubborn and who fornicates and my mom is not happy with it.
So luckily,I got the job and I started working that same month, paid 25k. With this 25k, a take transport everyday #400 (200 go,200 come)and I feed from it too.i give my mum 5,000 from it too but am not happy and comfortable with it because before the month ends I end up having nothing, trekking to work and have not to eat talk less of saving to further my education.
Working as a cleaner, people use to take advantage of me a lot and a person,I have studied my nature well.I don't like people sending me on errands,I hate it but that is the nature of the job.
People take me for granted, some abuse me then I would cry and wish I never existed.
Sometimes I think of committing sucide but I later do keep my cool.I am an introvert but I have decided to start talking back at people and refusing to answer their message but am scared I might loose my job even though am not happy with the job.
Am also thinking of stopping the job myself but am scared of poverty.
I don't want to go back to the shoe washing job too because it is too stressful and I get sick when doing it
Please what should I do Where is your location? |

I told her it's not an issue - that as my wife, she's free to attend any church she likes, but she insisted our family would have to attend the same church.
She won't marry me if i stick to my Catholic faith. Please advise me, she's the only one I love, and I can't start over anymore. You are not dictatiing to her but she she is now dictating to you on this. Just know that it will not end there as she will do it on other things which will eventually destroy your marriage to her. |

Lamzee: Let’s be our brother’s keeper
We must enforce all new posts should always add location, don’t just add Lagos, Ogun, or Oyo, add Olorunsogo, Mushin, Lagos. From there , another person that’s closer to that vicinity can help with inspection. In Addition, no matter how juicy the deal is, if your seller is not accepting Escrow, run run run, you’ll definitely see another deal. Also, if you chat a seller first and noticed a foul play, please post screenshot here so that others won’t fall victim. Thanks And what if another person that is supposedly closer to the area is someone arranged by the scammer who have opened several accounts here pretending to be another person? Pls let us be wise! I suggest buyers should only buy items they can make out time to do physical inspection and can then pay. If you are patient, you will get something closer in location and at bargain price. I also suggest those that have been scammed should post the account details of the scammers with their gsm numbers here and everyone here should repost them daily with red ink to alert others and new comers. Those scammed should also make formal report at their banks with evidence of transcation. |

Juliusmalema: Family members?
So it wasn't solely owned by him. What are you arguing?
Or has family members transcend to Peter Obi He failed to declare those assets he claimed are jointly owned. He feigns ignorance for it. My point is, it is wrong. And that it even turned out that those joint owners were his wife and kids meaning he actually brought into those assets and not some different persons who invested with him and having control over those assets. |
Politics › Re: Pandora Papers: I Broke No Law ― Peter Obi by sophy17(m): 10:56am On Oct 08, 2021 |
JaroMan: Is he to declare or his wife and children, since he transferred ownership to them? Does the mou meant that his wife and children are very different from him? The Man talked about international business principles; I think he knows better. Check his CV. He did not transfer ownership. Joint ownership means they own it together. But truth is what are you owning together with your kids except what you are planning to leave for them? Every registered company has a Share Capital. The Shares of the company are distributed among the owners. Any person seeking public office in Nigeria and of course most countries of the world required by law to declare your assets. The idea is to know your worth, how you come about it and your interests so as to prevent corruption and corrupt practises. |
Politics › Re: Pandora Papers: I Broke No Law ― Peter Obi by sophy17(m): 7:51am On Oct 08, 2021 |
Juliusmalema: He broke no law Mr. Ethnicity and tribal blindness can make even those that claim to live in developed civilization look stupid.
There is no constitutional clause that mandates him to declare jointly owned assets. If such clause exist it is like scaring investors away because there are silent investors who will never want to be known.
Nigeria wants foreign investment, and sane foreign countries wantd investment from other nations even Nigeria.
Is it not selfishness and wickedness to tell others to come And invest but gets bitter when others goes out to invest. You are unfortunately one of the problems of this Country! Up until now, I mean before the recently passed CAMA, 2020 you need a minimum of two adults to Incorporate a Company in Nigeria. So the argument that he did not know he had to declare jointly owned assets does not hold. Besides, the offshore assets were jointly owned by his family members- wife and kids, who are brought by himself! |

My wife will be going there btw ending Oct/ early Nov this year. Don't knkw if you've heard of Brazillian jewelry. It's one of the best in the world. I have never heard of area OP is talking about.

Eghuan01: Who’s using T212 that has observed you can’t deposit with Nigerian cards anymore using Google pay? No, you can't anymore. I confirmed from them yesterday after several failed attempts. They said it was due to recent changes in their policy, so they stopped accepting card deposits from Nigeria but still possible to withdraw amounts already deposited through them. I berated them for not informing me(us) and they apologized. I was informed I can use wire transfer. I tried sending just $500 today via Gtb and was charged as follows: Offshore-$25, telex-6000naira, commission and vat- $10.50. All charges can be deducted from Naira ac. The charges is too high for me so I cancelled it. I will do it when I am ready to send at least $5000. I remember paying about 29,500naira to send $6000 in dec, 2020 via Gtb to China. Trading212 informed I can pay using Revolut but said I need to dig if it is available to Nigerians. I am yet to do that. Anybody able to confirm should pls share the info. |
