The couple has debunked the false rumours.

jerryben12:
Must a woman be at the saloon every month? Must she buy a new shooe every month? Must she buy perfume and make up kit every month? Must she call everytime?? As long as you tell your woman the truth, she will understand with you unless you go and marry some woman that was spoilt from childhoold with $$$.
This is how it will happen - Since she is at home, she can beg her friendly neighbour to weave her hair with synthetic weavons for N400. China slippers are all over for under N1000. Make up? yes, she can get a set for about N500 and will last her for 3 months. Gele? Buba? Does she have to go to party every weekend? No she don't! When situation improves, she can host her own parties,

Are you from the moon? Listen to yourself.

Can you tell us here whether your wife or girlfriend or both (whichever it may be) begs neighbours EVERY MONTH to do hair with synthetic weave-ons (which by the way, do not cost N400 last time I checked)? Does your wife or girlfriend use China slippers? What kind of make up application lasts for 3 months?

No dey talk like say you no get head! Either you do not have a wife or you do not have a girlfriend, or you just want to come here to talk unrealistic trash.

You cannot receive money to either your GTB Naira or Dollar Mastercard. I have tried it before without success. In contrast, I can receive money to my Payoneer Mastercard in three simple steps, and it is processed in 48 hours.

We have a very long way to go in Naija.

Cut your coat according to your size. With N45,000 a month you can still live a quality live and plan for higher grounds:

Housing - N12,500 per month (Decent 1 Bedroom Flat in Ikorodu, Owode, Berger, Akuwonjo etc)
Feeding - N15,000 per month (Take lunch to work from home. This is just you and your wife)
Transportation - N4,000 per month
Clothing - N5,000 (Save this for 2 months and do clothing shopping every 2 or 3 months)
Wife up keep - N5,000 per month
Others - N3,000
Savings - N5,500 (This will increase when your income increases)


Easy to do. Just get use to this routine. When you get married, your wife may bring in some money too. Before she gets a job, make sure that you give her the feeding money monthly.

Hope this helps

This is a joke. OP, anyone that tells you that you can marry and live with a modern-day Nigerian woman on N45,000 is deceiving himself. Ask them to tell you how they much they are earning and whether they are on the same unrealistic budgets as you see above.

Let me single out the woman's N5,000 upkeep as advocated by someone here.

Question:
1) How much does it cost a woman to make an average hairdo? (Let's be honest here please)
2) How much does a female shoe, or gele or buba and iro, or any other type of female dress cost?
3) How much does a female makeup kit or perfume cost (or are you telling me your wife will not make up or use perfume, even if na N800 perfume like FairChild)?
4) How much does a typical Nigerian woman spend on phone calls?

Tell me how all this can happen on N5,000 allowance for a Nigerian wife of 2011.

My guy, go and buffer your earnings to at least twice this amount (i.e. start earning N90,000 minimum). You do not need to change jobs. Augment your N45k income by doing some things at the side. There are some towns in Nigeria that are so hot. Where I used to live in one of the Northern states, the demand for ice blocks in my area was so high that I actually knew someone making N10,000 a day selling ice blocks. Do the maths here.

So do not live in a fantasy world. There are so many posts here that can guide you on low cost businesses you can start that can if not anything, push up your monthly earnings by at least N20k or N30k.

I am just being real with you my brother. Advise no be curse!

Bandit C.:
Bro. I have no idea where you live but out here in Europe, nobody uses a blackberry phone or even knows where they sell one simply because blackberry phones are rocking pretty old techs and cannot compete anymore with the iPhone and Android Smartphones. I would advice you to go for an Android phone and if you do, please stay away from Samsung phones because their hardware is utter crap decked with plastic cover. I use an HTC Desire HD (check it out) and that phone is a beast, with a snapdragon processor, mature look and some of the best interface on a mobile platform that i have ever seen,so i would advice you to get an HTC Phone. If the Desire HD is too costly for you, you might wanna check out the new smaller Desire S, crazy phone i tell you.

About apps, whoever tells you that a blackberry has more apps than the iOS (iPhone) or Android OS is a straight up clown or has no internet to keep himself up to date. Get an Android Phone and go to the android marketplace to get yourself overwhelmed by the number of apps that are there and most of them are free. There is an app for virtually anything you want (even ones that let you point your phone camera skywards and get detailed information on every airplane that is flying through at that moment, even ones hidden behind the clouds). So i would advice you pick up an android phone.

Then again, if you are in Nigeria, you might want to join others in acquiring a blackberry phone, so that your status would magically be upgraded, lol.

Please preach it to them. I am sick and tired of all these girls wey dey use BB dey make inyanga for everybody in public places, not even knowing that Research in Motion can't even sell enough phones to keep its workforce afloat!

Android for Life!

Silly thread if you ask me. Girls are not interested in whether a guy is riding a car or not if they are looking to get married. It only becomes an issue if the girl is looking for a cash cow. So if a guy without a car sees a girl with one, and marriage is the number one thing on their minds, I do not think this is even a problem here.

And please, try to include at least your first name so you can be identified.

Is there any mobile app developer for the iPhone and Android available here so we run some lucrative projects together?

If you are based in Naija, the better for me. Send SMS to 08027601655 if you are good at this and I will call you to talk things over.

Your money don go!

The truth of the matter is that the way things are in the country, the true value of the Naira should be around N180 to $1. Just like it occurred in Britain in 1992 (the so-called Black Wednesday), a day will come when the CBN will be unable to keep using foreign reserves to defend the value of the Naira, and then the currency will experience a free fall. Dollar demand is surging every week, and in a country that continually imports every single damn raw material and finished product, this demand will not abate any time soon.

Continuously using foreign reserves to defend a currency is not a one-stop approach to solving the problem. Like Odiaero has said, some of us have keyed in by engaging in business where we are paid in US dollars. So if the government is not interested in tackling the issue instead of just continuously throwing foreign reserves at the problem in the name of defending the currency, then the problem will persist.

All these LR sellers sef.

As for me, my LR seller is very close to my house here, so I no get any stress. As I pay, na so im dey fund my account sharp sharp. Cash and carry.

aguiyi:
seven pips to my tp the mkt reversed, shedding almost 100pips and i didnt use trailing stop. mtchewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

The trailing stop is there for a purpose. Why many traders do not use it is baffling.

Obasanjo was the one who promulgated the decree that prescribed the firing squad as penalty for treasonable felony, so he could execute Dimka, Bisalla and all others who were implicated in the 1976 abortive coup.

IBB had the power to commute the sentences. Tobias Akwashiki, whose wife (a former actress of the Village Headmaster fame) is now a Senator from Nasarawa State was fist sentenced to death, then had his sentence commuted to life in prison, then given ten years and as IBB was leaving, he set the man free.

So why could he not have saved his bestman for crying out loud, no matter what?

IBB, you will be another Mubarak. I am sure of it, because your sins are many.

IBB,

I pray earnestly to God Almighty that you end up like Saddam Hussein and his 2 sons (their death was too quick, so not my preferred method).

So I now pray that you end up like Hosni Mubarak.

I do remember that in my school back then, a particular campus fellowship exco invited a girl who paid a tithe of N100,000 to explain the source of her revenue. She had to reveal in detail how she made the money over a period of 4 months during ASUU strike.

I do not think Farida Waziri is asking or anything extraordinary. Churches as custodians of moral Christian values should regularly seek clarifications on suspicious tithes.

I mean as a parent, if I walk into my 18 year old son's bedroom and I see N1million cash in his wardrobe, do I just keep quiet and thank God for buttering his bread? Ridiculous in the extreme!

I am so loving this,

Can the mischievous moderators here tell me why they decided to add Islamic bank in bracket to my original title which was "Jaiz Bank PLC Opens for Business"?

Whoever of the moderators did this, be careful. I am warning you. Do not go adding things to people's posts.

blink182:
Shut up your mouth, where are you let me meet you face to face and see if you can talk. Come here to talk rubbish and you have the boldness to issue threats. You had better be very careful.

And I am very sure you have fathered your siblings by your mother for you to throw such words at others

Mr Blink,

I take it you have never been a guest of the military intelligence, Restrict yourself to your dollar exchange rate discussions and be careful what you say here. Do not insult my family again, you could get your life very complicated indeed!

Somebody is earning N160,000 in today's Nigeria and he is complaining. His rent is N27,000 a month, and he is complaining as well.

Me wey dey pay house rent of N100,000 a month where I live in Abuja, as the sole provider of my family at the moment, what should I do?

OP, better advise that your friend to be wise before he puts his family in deep sh-it. He has a wife and a child now. He had better be wise.

My problem with all these World Bank and IMF technocrats is the use of the term "economy" How about improving the lot of Nigerians and empowering the masses economically and not "fixing the economy"?

Living in Abuja makes one easily forget the poverty all around. That is the problem. I think many of these ministers should be made to live in the suburbs so that they are reminded daily of their responsibilities to the Nigerian people.

Italy uses the EURO. So better take that your Italian Lira and use it as toilet roll.

And if you know you can stand me to my face to insult me, you reveal your identity and I dare you to repeat your comments.

Cretinized mothafucka!

tjide:
@ poster,

From your comments, I am sure your are seriously staggering from drunkenesss while posting this thread.

Alhaji Abdulmattalab is a well respected person that have spents decades in the business world especially in the banking industry.

This man has over thirty companies that is employing nigerian and non nigerians incluiding christains.

Not forgetting the fact that he personally reported his son to the United States Government even before the incident.

The man stills goes to the U.S. as he likes till today

Nobody have ever spoken of him as being bias either religion wise or ethnic wise

So mr staggering idiota, what is your problem with this man?

Please let this man be

You are indeed an idiot. If you read that post, you would know what I meant.

But of course, I do not expect cretinized imbeciles like you to know that at a time when his son is being tried on terrorism charges, that fact will create a situation where the bank's objectives will be overshadowed by those events. Do not tell me you are not aware of the controversy that has pervaded this issue.

B, astard cretinized slowpoke!

HECTORBOSS:
Your Bank PHB shares is still intact. The buyers of the bank has assured depositors and investors alike that normal banking proceedings continues and there will be no sack nor retrenchment. just bank at your preferred branch with a new name and branding.

Don't misinform people here. Nowhere was the word INVESTORS mentioned in that public notice out out by AMCON. The assurance was given to DEPOSITORS & WORKERS.

Old investors have lost all because the banks technically were insolvent and were bought over by AMCON to keep them afloat.

russy:
@big icon i thank you for your magnanimity in offering to deliever a man from forex darkness, i will contact you through the the link provided.

@stagger, there is no point joining issue in this matter, forget about your kids school fees or any sort, anything you have capacity do and if you dont have the time do say so than being offensive.but always consider relationship more than money and be truthful at a go

Blog icon:
Russy, just as someone else stated earlier, I like your courage and determination. I was treated very much like you are now when I first started out; you won't believe that even my closest friend back in school who I helped write his whole semester exams (free of charge) when he was incapacitated asked me to pay $1k before he'd teach me!

I was told all manner of things; I would never make it in forex if I was self-thought, but I took d challenge and kept moving, fast forward to the present day, I am doing fine. I won't claim to be a multi-millionaire trader, but I'd say that I'm able to consistently turn in profits every month - and that is the dream of any trader.

You wouldn't blame any trader here for charging you large sums to train you because forex could be draining and they would want to get paid if they would have to put you into their schedule.

With that said, owing to the road I've followed to my present day, and once gone thru what you are now, I'm willing to teach you - and for absolutely free too! Yes you heard that right; for free! There is absolutely no strings attached to it. I'd take the pain to put you through all I've learnt over the years. It would be a pleasure if I see a successful trader in you tomorrow. If along the line you feel you wanna give me just anything at all for my time and effort you can - but you are not obliged to do so. It's all free will!

Now some peeps would doubt the effectiveness of what am gonna teach cos of the 'free' clause here, but if you doubt my methods you can go through the thread and check with my calls.

Why did you quote his response? Anyone asking people to be posting forex signals is lazy. Tomorrow they will turn around to start blaming people for bad trading calls.

Personally I never went to any forex training. I am 100% self-taught, and it took me a lot of years to get to my level where I now consult for foreign trading companies.

Whatever you learn sticks with you for life, and that is the message I am passing across to him. Personally, I do not even have time to teach anyone. What is N50,000 a month to me that I will spend my whole time talking for hours a day for 6 months? That is not even up to 25% of my kids school fees!

Don't mind them jare.

The other day I went to make a domiciliary withdrawal, the teller was just being over-nice. Me sef come dey wonder weting dey happen.

The first non-interest bank in Nigeria, Jaiz Bank PLC, was launched today in Abuja. Guess who the Chairman of the bank is?

The father of the underwear bomber himself! I personally have nothing against non-interest banking, but the bank could have avoided the choice of Alhaji Abdulmutallab as the board chairman at a time his son is undergoing trial for suspected terrorist activity.

House, what do you think?

russy:
hmmm 50k per month for 6months, this guy na koro, well thats too much i offer you 7k per month , and the contract cut off if i am not satisfied.

Ha hahahaahaha, 7,ooo a month to learn forex!

Haha hahahahahaha!

Brother, let me advise you.

Forget forex. Go and get a 9 to 5 job. Forex is not for everyone and it is certainly not for you. my very frank, candid advice.

russy:
@akin, pls becareful, i can see your innocency, i am only a little better than you look beg one of this guy to make time to train you like odiero, jaz, honeric and few others, the pain of loosing money is much , you can only learn little with they say

Russy,

If I ask you to pay me N50,000 every month for 6 months to put you through with all the techniques and methodology that took me many years to perfect, will you do it?

Trading is not a joker's game. It is a school on its own and there is too much to learn. In fact, you cannot stop learning.

If you cannot afford it, then you are not ready to trade forex. You cannot live your forex trading life asking people to post signals up and down. Many newbies cannot even interpret such signals.

Learn to fish and not ask for fish.

Victor Umeh the APGA Chairman has also denied it.

What is wrong with these journalists who cannot verify stories before they are published?

Anything pertaining to house keeping is the woman's responsibility. If a man decides to help, it is principally what it is: HELP.

Help rendered is not a compulsory stuff. But of course, there are situations where it just makes some sense for a husband to help out.

For example, whenever my wife is out of the country, I do not expect her to come back after a journey of many hours and then enter the kitchen to start cooking, or expect her to go to market same day and then start cooking. That is wickedness.

Personally in such situations, I hit the kitchen and do the cooking. But otherwise, she handles all kitchen and house chore activities while I do what I am supposed to do as a man: providing for the household.

After all, let us face it; many wives earn money and we married men know very well that at one time or the other, we tap into their financial reserves when our own tap runs dry (warning: should not be habitual).
