Oya feed me and my entire family for one month na, you all be behind your keyboard claiming billionaire and ordinary 15k chicken you are lamenting, I asked you simple question on the cost of breeding chicken and you are forming from your mouth wetin concern me if you came from abroad when you can't even afford old layer.

The hardship in UK is crushing.

Proverbs 20 v 10 and Proverbs 11v1.

The use of false measures are AN ABOMINATION to the Lord. He is watching.

When you were eating his money for 12 years, he had sense. Now he has no sense.

Itisallright:
They should have place it at 200k per week for individual and improve the network for online transactions, cashless can't work with this. Seems that they're confused...

Today my ATM card was declined at several PoS terminals and nearly seized by an ATM. Card wey money full inside. Something I never experienced in any other country. In Senegal, I used to withdraw 100,000 CFAs (which was N80,000 at the time) at once. Not this useless N10,000 for another bank's ATM.

Is it on such a platform that cashless will be implemented?

SIRTee15:
Nigeria needs it's own b2b online platform. It will eliminate all these greedy middlemen.
Nigerian farmers also need to embrace new ways of doing business, which means getting the right information and embracing modern technology.
If jaja of opobo could sell his palm oil directly to traders in Liverpool in the 19th century by buying his own ship, I don't understand why Nigerian farmers can't organise themselves in 2022 and market directly to foreign buyers.
Even the so called middle men are mainly Lebanese and Indians. U rarely see Nigerians in that sector despite the huge opportunities and wealth in area. These foreigners cash away while Nigerians languish in penury.
Nigerian problem isn't poverty but poor education and lack of foresight.
I once asked a 500 level agric economics student in uniben to tell me about commodity market, her response was shocking- they've not been taught in school.
The above is why Nigerians can't develop the agricultural value chain while our farmers are stuck in poverty.

The bolded is more than shocking.

She definitely has mental health issues.

$20,000 a month. She think say here na US.

Nothing is Permanent In This World

I visited my 120-year-old grandmother and gave her some money when I was leaving and she told me she doesn't need money again.

That she can no longer buy or sell at her age, so I should give the money to the younger ones who need it.

I also have a former governor friend whom I worked with as a greenhorn PA. He was governor from 1999-2007.
Not too long ago, I saw him.

After check-in, he was left seated by the corner of the Murtala Mohammed international airport awaiting his flight.

No one even recognized him again, not even passengers from the State where he was governor, and as I walked up to him and greeted him, then asked if he wanted any assistance, he stretched forth his trembling hands to hold me and simply said,

"Thank you for even recognizing me again. I just want your attention briefly my daughter . Sit down let me ask you something.

How is your Governor doing?"

I also have a retired Major General friend whom I served as a golf caddy at the NDA golf course in Kurmi Mashi, Kaduna.
He was so rich he built a beautiful house he was so proud of.

I visited him too not long ago and wanted us to climb to our favorite spot on his balcony upstairs.

He stared at me with a broad smile and said, "IT, I can't remember the year I went up there. It is lizards and cobwebs and the likes that live there now.

Even the kids, when they come, they don't enjoy my company in the house any more than a few hours and they are gone.

I don't have the limbs to climb up there again and the cost of cleaning keeps getting higher."

I have seen a lot more things.
How yesterday became the day before, how today became yesterday, and how tomorrow became today.

How the past became history, how the present became the past, and how the future became the present.
Nothing ever remains where it is.

Your strength, your muscles, your beauty, your wealth, your guts, your worth, your courage, your talent, your YOU, will progressively diminish until it returns to its source.

The richest man in the world in the 1960s will not be on the payroll of the richest man in the world today!

Even the strongest lion in the jungle will someday become weak, and frail and be eaten by the same predators it once terrorized.

Keep that in mind always and know that no matter how appealing and tempting that thing may seem, our interest in it will diminish with time.

Our strength to consume or own it will vanish with time until everything is surely taken away from us or we are surely taken away from everything!

"Nothing is permanent in this world".

Wishing you very Reflective Times.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!!

I first came across Lucky Igbinedion in 1999. Loads of security everywhere as he marched to his imposing S-Class. Next time I came across him at much closer quarters was in 2018 at Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, dragging his luggage by himself. Some taxi guys hailed him and he returned the greeting as he walked past.

What a difference 19 years makes. But these people do not consider these things.

Falseprofet2:
Shut up please. Your endtime version of Christianity is not the only version, its not even the most recognized version by churches older than your Choosen that is just 20yrs
Trust a Nigerian with little knowledge of the past to speak so authoritatively on issues beyond his capacity
Stampedes, deaths, war, famine, pestilence have always been part of human history .
And the world did not end
In ten years you will still be here shouting end times with a new moniker to cover up your shame
I am Christian by the way: just an intelligent one

You don't know your bible and you certainly do not know God. Professing to be a Christian and knowing God and his end-time agenda are two different things. If you think it comes by age, you are in for a shocker.

tensazangetsu20:
Na wa o what a shithole country. Agricultural engineering graduate driving okada due to no job.

An agric engineer is not supposed to be a job seeker but an innovator and a creator. He needs to look up an illiterate Indian farmer Mansukhbhai Jagani who converts motorcycles to tractors. The man has won multiple global awards for his work. E no go school, but he has changed the farming ecosystem in India and around Asia forever.

This one here is not willing to apply his brain. It is to look for a non-existent pathway to UK.

Drsnives:
Good day friends..
Please your suggesting and advice is highly welcomed.

My dad invited me to his place 2days back, the topic of discussion was I should find out and make arrangement of how I can travel out of the country to UK preferably and hussle/ work instead of riding okada here since no job is forthcoming after my service, he is willing to sell his plots of land to support me, the ball is now in my court.. I read agricultural and bioresource engineering.
Dear friends am confused as I don't even know where to start from, am 33yrs. I asked a friend he suggested I should ist secure admission there ist, but am not going there for schooling cos I don't think the funds to finance it is available for now.
NB: accomodation is not a problem, we have people willing to accomodate me there.

Pls your suggestions are welcomed

You are travelling to UK....on which visa please? You think you can just enter the UK and start hustling?

donbachi:
She should forget Naija Pastors and their churches.
And serve her God in spirit and truth.

Your stupidity knows no bounds.

Corrinthians:
Wasted resources.

We Igbos don't need this. Jubrin el Sudani should take this rubbish bridge which won't allow the free flow of big container vessels through Biafran states down to his Northern brothers.

The bridge is even tolled. Our next Endsars campaign will begin from that tollgate, just like the Lekki toll gate and when Biafra is realised we will dismantle the useless bridge that is nothing but a bribery for Ndigbo to participate in the zoo election.

There is nowhere in the world where roads are not tolled. The tolls pay for the maintenance. Nigerians always like freebies.

Is it that there is no one to out this man's location and let the security forces end this madness once and for all?

DarkPheonix:
Yes, feeds are quite expensive now as with everything, the few birds I have now are going for nothing less than 15k. Frozen chickens are usually birds trained under 2 months and their growth is aided with drugs personally I don't consider them healthy.

Not any more. All drugs given to them are withdrawn a week before hand. Also, the use of sub-clinical doses of antibiotics to boost growth is banned in many countries, including Nigeria.

Jennyclay:
stingy broke men everywhere! You can't afford to buy common fish not to talk of chicken to celebrate Christmas. How is egg economical? Just say you don't have money. Shior!

Is he your husband? Why are you concerned if he has money or not? Does your own father have money?

soberdrunk:
You obviously didn't know them during their "accident era" and probably haven't embarked on a trip with them, I don't know about now but back then their drivers used to drive like they were on a suicide mission........

Which is why they started installing speed limiters on their buses before FRSC took up the initiative for the entire industry. The way Peace mass drivers used to drive so fast is the general way Nigerians tend to do things. Always in a hurry, always wanting to cut corners, always praying NOW NOW prayers in church.

Even one time I was in Terminal 3 at Heathrow catching a flight, it was an effort for our people to stay in line. I nearly mistook the place for a regular park in Naija. The virgin atlantic staff were just frustrated.

spyder880:
This man started from the very bottom of the ladder around 1993. Most people in Enugu knew when he was driving a bus.

I knew when his two buses used to park opposite Holy Ghost park in Enugu in the mid-90s. He used to drive one himself. His breakthrough came sometime between 2004 and 2006.

Allison012:
OP. we wake up everyday take our bath and bounce out to work. Working day and night for peanuts. How do you wants us to invest when all the peanuts we work for goes to feeding and other neccessities? Even savings we no fit do for this buhari and APC economy. Make baba GOD help us make we vote the right person for 2023.

The peanuts can at least put food in your belly and pay your trans, while you continue to work out your way to the next level. We have all been there.

Who keeps money and anything else in a baggage meant for the aircraft hull? Isn't that why you are allowed a carry-on bag?

Oberhiri141:
Ever since i packed into my new house, my landlady and her daughter have been disturbing my life one way or the other.

One day, I gave my landlady 10kg of mama gold rice which was given to me at my place of work and then the following morning she called me and asked me to lend her 10k.

I think she has taken my kindness for weakness and as for her daughter, her own inordinate request for money is unbearable. If it's not meatpie today then it's recharge card or even hair cream.

Please, Elders in the house, how can I cope with this burden?

Your problem is that you have failed to set a limit on the boundaries of a relationship. Some are called to be friends, some are colleagues, some are family, and some are landlords/landladies. The moment you overstep the boundaries of a relationship, there will be trouble.

Why did you give her the 10kg of rice? The relationship between you and a landlady should be very formal. You pay her rent, you stay in her house and it stays that way until it is time to pay. But you foolishly started to play the role of good Samaritan in addition to being a tenant.

As for the daughter, there is no basis for providing any of the stuff you mentioned. How did she even attain that level of familiarity to be asking for things a girlfriend or a wife would be asking of?

Politicians are looking for cash for elections. Lots of distressed property sales. So go for it now. Anyone telling you to invest in your region is just talking opata.

Hezzyluv:
So I went to the church one certain Sunday, I think this year or so. Prior to time of offering, the the church normally gives envelope for it. Perhaps, to avoid others seeing what you will drop in the basket.

And an usher gave me my own offering envelope, i dipped hand in my Pucket and removed #100 from it to put as offering. On opening the envelope, I was surprised because, I saw 2mints of $100 note. I think someone might have dropped it as offering the previous Sunday and the ushers skipped it when they opened and removed money from other envelopes.

The mind as usual started dropping devilish thoughts like, you know you don't have nice phone. You know the money in your bank account is not up to $30 let alone $200. You know you don't have a job..... All the you knows and plenty what-if's kept ringing in my head. I decided to show a friend seating beside me, the answer he gave me surprised me and goes thus... "Na your father house na, him don bless you".... I started pondering on na your father's house na your father's house if you carry the $200, drop your #100 nothing go happen. But one tiny thought said to me, what if you do this single act and curse followz you?

That was how I put my #100 note inside the envelope 2geda with the $200 when it was time for offering, I just dropped everything inside the basket. After the church service, my friend came to me and said" find me something na. And I told him, me don drop the money back because, I no get that mind. He now said even me I come rethink am sey e no good make you carry the money."

looked back and was happy I didnt go with the money because, any little -tive thing that happens to me, I might be saying "maybe na because of that money wey you carry from church ooo"

Congrats, you passed the test. Every promotion to the next level comes with a test. Sadly many "Christians" will fail it. There are numerous stories and hidden cam videos of ushers and church workers pilfering from the offering or tithe boxes.

shariff84:
anybody that's using truck this period has to be patient,the overall trucking system is poor.And I have to say it here anything truck is out of my control. Drivers don't usually give us their numbers because they don't want disturb,I myself I don't have the driver's number that carry ur sister's goods.I don't even deal with the drivers directly it's my truck agent that does that.
And most of this truck drivers are illiterate for example the one that carry ur goods to abuja for two days he is on the way and he deliberately switch off his phone,till when reach Abuja in the mid night before he call me.

You have to do something about it.

GboyegaD:
What is the withdrawal limit in Canada and USA and what is the global currency they are promoting? I need to read about this as it is very urgent.

There is currently legislation in the parliament in Netherlands to restrict all cash spending to 50 euros. Indonesia plans to make the e-Rupee the only legal tender in the country next year. In Sweden, you are charged a fee for any cash-based payment. If you are a business, you can only deposit money at specific days and at special collection centres, else you would be fined. In China, mobile apps are the mode of payment.

It is spreading quietly.

Righteousness2:
They know what they are doing.
It's all about the drive towards a Globalist Central bank Digital Currency. (CBDC)
Unfortunately over 70% of Nigerians know little or nothing about these things.

They are testing the ground to see reactions towards a Globalist CBDC.
Over a 100 Nations in the world are test running same right now.
Great reset/New world Order things.

Very soon it will be Enforced.
If you know you know.

I have been preaching this to my family and friends, but as it was in the days of Noah, I have been deemed an alarmist and a doomsday prophet. Always met with laughter and mocking.

Currently, commercial banks are the ones creating money and are custodians of customer accounts. CBN has to ask their permission to get these details. With a CBDC, everything about creation and control of money will move to the central bank, where they will have the power to ground anybody they want by simply blocking their ability to access the CBDC and to use or spend it.

A precursor to the period when no man, both great and small, will be able to buy or sell except they have the mark of the beast on their foreheads and right hands as proclaimed in Revelation 13. A sure event that will precede the rapture described in Revelation 14 when the angel will reap the saints with the sweep of his sickle.

But many are sleepwalking their way to this great time of tragedy totally unprepared.

Realife4:
If the wicked government don't create jobs for the Masses Yahoo will continue spreading like wide fire. I feel for the lost my fellow hustlers if only you know how hard it takes to catch a pay cliant. My friend bomb for complete 3 years every night no sleep he couldn't see 500$ at the end he catches a Poland cliant that gave him 15k$ then he got himself a Toyota Corolla rented an apartment and start a living. At the end some will think Yahoo is a very easy business and start criticizing hustlers. Efcc will leave the real criminal that has invoked porvaty to the mass. From presidency to local government chairman in Nigeria should be killed. mass killing sized all there properties...or else Atiku Tinebu including Obi we never save us.

Then your friend is a complete idiot!
A UK company I provided consultancy services for 40 months paid me a total of $60,000 in that period. Started a palm plantation, and a full-scale animal husbandry business. Both thriving.

Learning a digital skill to earn legitimate money online always pays at the end.

Kollins11:
Correct!!

Make I drive go track babes. Especially those evening newspapers seeking God for husband.

I will just deceive her that I will marry her, I will appear as a very nice guy, she would even think God has answered her prayers. Then I go just dey fvck her kpekus on a steady until her kpekus knock down, then when I'm done with her kpekus, I will just bundle her like firewood and kick her out of my house.

Ogun kill you there! You and who wan dey do marriage nonsense.

You will die before your time if you are not careful. This is how many of you piss your destinies away.

GOTVee:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, I hate this shiloh nonsense with passion. I'd rather listen to Gurumaraji than that arrogant man in Otta.

You don't talk like a born again Christian. By their fruits, you shall know them.

udumosam23:
The bride price is traditional thing and must not exceed that amount, and must be paid with different Nigerian currencies. Although some clans have modified the amount to 1,885 to enable all currencies to be represented.

Every other rights are negotiable depending on the strength of the suitor. The yakurr women generally are homely and receptive, respectful and kind. There are still a few terrible ones though.

Cannibalism amongst the yakurr people is a long past history. Although their traditional and cultural activities still pictures these thoughts, they're now far from reality.

I am myself a yakurr man and I married from my community Idomi 8 years back. I also paid #15 bride price and other kepon and lezima expenses took about 130k and it was lauded to be an expensive marriage rites, I was hailed as a man amongst my Kingsmen.

He is blessed whose wife is a yakurr woman. They don't leave their husbands easily.

Same can't be said for the men.

OnionBandit:
Restricting it doesn't mean it shouldn't be taxed. It's just a way of discouraging it because of the high volatility of the market and the unknown actors behind it.

Most of us who are into crypto will tell you the Government has been vindicated. More than 99% of investors have lost over 90% of their investment in crypto..Market has been bleeding for over a year now and the blood is still fresh and running.

I won't forget the day I woke up to see my investment of a million naira dropped to less than 50k. My own sef small..You need to see how a friend could not eat well for days because his own dropped from around 11million to less than 100k.

Well, all these story no concern Government. That tax must be paid. Tax and death are the only certain things in life

You are what we call the "unsophisticated" investors. Never risk money you cannot afford to lose.

But no. People like you don't listen. Personally, I have never risked more than $500 trading anything online. I prefer offline investments. N11 million can deliver a robust bottled water factory that will give generational wealth. But our people always love sharp sharp money.
