Congratulations Obi, you are a shining example to the younger generation

There are no Yorubas in South Africa. This man is an Eboe man

IkeOnyia:
But the first person the governor thanked immediately he was announced winner, was the President. It could mean that the President may have helped him secretly so as not to offend his loyal party members. Politics is deeper than what you see in the surface.

This is because the president can witch hunt him, seize his allocation and make governance miserable for him, just the way he declared a state of emergency in Rivers

All those saying Yoruba love themselves Igbo is nzogbu nzogbu ....I ask them which region has the highest number of politicial assassination? From Funsho to Bola Ige...the most violent political region right from the days of Ajasin

Shedrack777:
If you get married while struggling, your premium suffering will start when your wife gives birth. Then, you'll separate, and we'll have a bitter single mother roaming the streets shouting all men are scum

The struggle will be there, however, it will eventually get better.

HelenaWills:
If you'll get married and eventually wait a while to start bearing kids you apparently can't finance. Why not stay single? Why bring additional mouth into penury let alone birthing kids?
Marriage isn't a necessity please.

If you live in Nigeria it is . Marriage is our own form of communal companionship when we grow older. We don't have a functional care home or old's people home in Nigeria. Please do not judge marriage now that you are young and strong, you won't be for very long. A family member who retired from oil and gas he was married and divorced. He came back to Nigeria, had an illness employed two Nurses to be taking care of him but it was still not enough. You need people who truly cares, who will keep Nurses on their toes, who will carry your matter for head like gala. The man died of starvation, the nurses were just packing money and taking groceries to their home. Your Nephew and Nieces are not your children.

When two working people live together, and bring their resources together, the income increases significantly. Hence a+b <ab

dominique:
Not that you should not get married as a struggling man, it's not a bad idea at all. The main thing is, when you start making better in, would your wife remain attractive to you? Is that not when you'll suddenly realise that she was never really your spec all along? Women are not scared of building with struggling men, majority are scared of what he would turn to once he becomes richer. These men don't see betrayal of women as a big deal, in fact they applaud it. It's on this same Nairaland that someone said no man owes any woman loyalty regardless what she does for him.

When you build wealth with a man, you both own the wealth equally. Unless you are describing a situation where the man was struggling and the woman was just there passing time and waiting for a better option. If you both start the building, you both own the wealth. If the man start cheating, the woman can also become a sugar mummy or they divide their estate and move on.

pocohantas:
It is only on Nairaland you guys ask this question. In the real world, there are several poor couples. In fact, there are more struggling couples/families than the affluent ones. They are so much that conversations centered around having fewer kids began to come up.

The problem is many of you want Lambo on a 504 budget. Accept it or not, humans exist in different class and forms. It is nothing to be bitter about like many of you do. Just find a woman that aligns with you and marry. I am sure there is a woman that likes you, but you don't want her because she is not boogie. Accept her and start a family.

I will keep stating that some people could wait until 50+ and the money them no go see, wife nko? Nothing!, pikin nko? Nothing! As long as a man is hardworking he can pair with a hardworking woman and they can eke out a livelihood for themselves.

id4sho:
You may be right but generational poverty is real. You may exit this life as a wretched man.

For some people, it is your child who is destined to take the family out of poverty. Imagine you have delayed till 50+ money you no make, wife you no get, pikin you no still get... everyone has his or her destiny regardless of their family background

Angelfrost:
The right thing is to have a good lawyer thoroughly examine every inch of that paper and advise accordingly before signing.

The problem is that most Nigerians either can't afford one when starting out, or simply don't think far ahead.

The record label owners flash gifts and great incentives to lure them in and hoodwink them from actually seeing the futuristic trap being set for them.

You forgot that these artists were not stars then, some can't even pay house rent let alone afford a lawyer. Also if you think producers are greedy, there are over 1m online upcoming artistes looking for sponsors you can gamble on any of them and promote them with you cash. Do you know how many artistes flop and producers lose hundreds of millions?

Ttalk:
Politics without bitterness. That's what Omoluabi represents.

Reno probably has Yoruba blood running in his veins

Despite the greeting, Obidients will still have reason to abuse Reno. You can confirm this from post below by the Obidients

Bola Ige, Funsho Williams etc

Lekby25:
Are you working in an oil and gas company

Banking, but I spent just 6 years in the sector before resigning

I made my first million before resuming my first day at the office. My relocation allowance plus other incovenience allowances gave me my first 1.6m. It was a good start for me.

Kalulu44:
Story story, to hell with whatever they gave our mum and grandmum.
Their demands are just greed to be specific.
.
We the children are enlighten and no of us send them. If they like let them invite us or not for their own.
Who among my siblings even have time of going back to the village for any of their so called parties and demands.
The only thing that draws us back their is our mum and dad who are late already.
So to hell with their greedy demands, we owe them nothing

Oga go and make money abeg na poverty dey cause noise and dragging. Na person dey give 5 cows to Umunna make dem chill. Make una look for money biko

hegelian:
abeg if they did not pay, what will happen?? im sure they cant stop me from burying my parents abi?

No one will stop you, but that which your ancestors have benefited from now it is their turn and they want to renege?

ppogba:
You are very correct.

Even the grand parents partook took.

Whether he cries louder or not, people on Nairaland cannot do anything to save him.

This is what I always tell people. Your linage have benefited from it in the past, now e reach their turn them dey complain. The tradition was not made for someone.

Kalulu44:
Na some of una wey get their time. During my mum's burial. We did it just the way we want and ignored majority of their demands.
One of my younger brother a soldier brought his men, he said he wants to see who will disrupt the burial in the name of we didn't meet their obligations.
Burial went well and smooth and everyone was happy.
.
After 9yrs, no repercussions or anything regarding rumors that this and that will happen to us the children bcus we didn't do what they wanted.

If your parents or grandparents have benefited or taken part in someone burial, you guys will pay the price. The things you refused to do in your mother's burial I trust you will not be invited to someone else burial and you enjoy the same. If you have the money do it, if you don't have , pray to get the funds else you guys are just postponing the repayment date

Sonnobax15:

Imagine if they could impose that kind amount of money on a dead body,you can imagine how theur marriage list and requirements will look like

Not that they'll even assist the children in any way . But be looking for ways to bill the hell out of the children.

One thing you guys keep forgetting is that the person complaining his parents or grandparents might have been a strong advocate or beneficiary of the system. Now it is his turn and he is screaming

oz4real83:
One greedy man will start a practice, his family will copy it, it spreads to their neighbors and the whole community. This will now be taken as "our culture"😏. Milk, Milo, rice, malt, beer and some of those things are not "traditional materials", they were brought by the white man, how "white men goods" became part of traditional lists is something that needs serious investigation💔😡

Looking at the war in Ukraine and the war between the US and Iran I have reached a level of understanding where achieving your objectives are not only important but the cost of achieving your objectives are also important.

When Russia invaded in 2022, the goal was simple, seize Antonov airport, land heavy equipment and takeover Kiev. When that could not be achieved, Russia changed the objective to the 4 Oblasts. Both sides are taking in huge casualties and the real economic outlook for both countries are down. Ukraine is on Eu life-support while Russia real economy is shrinking.

For example Russia produced about 1.4m vehicles in 2021, in 2025 they could only assemble 650k-750k. Most of the productions were from Chinese assembly plants in Russia. About 5million refrigerators were produced in 2021, in 2025 the figure was between 2.5-2.9million.

The Russian economy is presently a war economy and the GDP and employment figures are towards the war hence, no real value to the man on the street. This is similar to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan which was one of the myraids of problems that led to the economy collapse of the rebuild, at some point war torn East Germany was richer than the massive Soviet bloc in terms of GDP per capita.

For the Americans, they went into Iran for a regime change, and the destruction of Uranium enrichment sites, they managed to eliminate Iran leadership, and bombed some sites, they also took losses in both human and equipment, however, their approach is always willing to get a deal. For the Americans getting a deal is not a sign of weakness rather it is a sign of knowing when to step back and evaluate.

Today there is a ceasefire in Iran and both sides are bantering, at least it is better than going for total war and let your economy suffer senselessly. What the Russians should learn from the Americans is there will always be time to fight again and reassess your objectives, you don't need to cripple everything just to show you are superior.

Imagine d response a full grown adult gave ⁉️🙆🏿

Chineke Nna Kedu ife di ifa ⁉️🙆🏿

Nwokem using ur wack analogy, would u apply for CEO position in Coca-Cola company if u didn't know d problems d company is facing⁉️🙆🏿

Would u employ someone who doesn't have an idea on how to fix a car, to fix ur car ⁉️🙆🏿

Would U allow someone who isn't a medical professional to apply to be ur personal physician ⁉️🙆🏿


If u can't den please don't bother to respond to my post anymore.

Zuzupuom niru onuku

you only know what you are exposed to and that doesn't tell the real story. No you don't have to know the exact problems of a company to apply for the CEO role. You only need to meet the requirements which includes you having the capacity to solve problems. However, you need to diagnose to know the real problem of a company. I can draw up a business case for you and show you the obvious challenges and ask you to diagnose the root cause in the case study. I am willing to give you this challenge if you are interested.

LottiOk:
So what's he in d race for then ⁉️ If u don't know a problem exists then why are u clamoring to be in control ⁉️🙆🏿
What will he now use to campaign with ⁉️🙆🏿
1. I don't know what d problem in d power sector is but when I get there, I'll ask and find a solution to it 🙆🏿
2. I don't know what's d cause of insecurity but when I'm elected, I'll find out and solve it😁

Nna Obi nwanne should stop granting press releases and interviews at this time cos it further demarkets him and makes him unqualified to assume d role he's trying to win.

Imagine you are an employee of Coca-Cola, and the company is doing poorly, and you want to claim you know the company problems? Do you have access to the management board? Unaudited financials? Debtors? Do you have knowledge of the company's obligations and liabilities? No you don't! Whatever you know is what is in the public. Consulting firms work with senior management and ceos to help solve issues. Does Obi attend NEC meetings? Do ministers submit their reports to him? You cannot know a problem based on the symptoms you are seeing, you need to diagnose it

Kushites:
Excuses have started already?

You've not even won yet, you're already telling Nigerians not to expect much from you.

CHAI......

This country is finished..

Imagine if he wins and fails to deliver say 24/7 power?

He will say he didn't realise how complex the power issue was till he got in!

You are as clueless and confused as the one you support.
You want to be president of a country that you don't know it's problem. Obi is very dumb and dumb people support him.

you are the dumb one here. Imagine you are an employee of Coca-Cola, and the company is doing poorly, and you want to claim you know the company problems? Do you have access to the management board?

Backlinker01:
US is a major oil exporter and is still a major oil importer too. That I don't get.
When it comes to Africa, we know who is number one - Nigeria. Here are the others:
https://www.top5.ng/africas-petroleum-powerhouses-the-major-5-crude-oil-export-giants-on-the-continent/

it depends on oil prices. If global oil price rises the US companies increase production to high levels and make good money. However, if oil prices drops, they do not find it lucrative to drill excessively, hence they just import.

From the people that claimed that they have absolute respect for their elders

ReacherSaidNoth:
Nigerian girls are horrible to chat with, can't keep a conversation to save their lives... Unless they want to nurse you for billing of course

that is entirely not true, any girl that is educated and doesn't keep a conversation with you is not interested. Move on

Love800:
Why did you resign from banking?

I thought banking is a lucrative career.

Yes it was, I was an SBO then, however, my business was already given me more than what a full manager earned. It would take me minimum of 10years to get to a full manager from where I was. Hence, it was not worth it staying when I could use that time to network, travel and expand.

Did Banking for six years, during those periods, I managed wealthy clients, studied their business value chains and inserted myself along the value chain. I took mad risks and bets and it paid off. I resigned from banking and life has been good.
