the problem is I don't just know how to tell him I can't do it we as it looks somehow. I only ask for 24 hours time to get back to him. If his plan is if I can pay for him then I will diduct it from future rent that will not work. Because even the shop I am already tired but only hoping thing might get better my mind is still on moving out anytime soon. Even if I have the money I cannot lock it for rent that there is no head way yet. I am tired and have not been myself since he told me this. That money is 3 years rent and I am not owning him in the next 9 months.

She push it wide open and lock it to the other side.

Lostchild:
It Will.
God has told and shown me how it will end

Good evening everyone , all my efforts were in vain. My parents, four brothers and grandmother denied everything and my sister has refuse to talk about the abuse , she kept worshipping my mum. They have all turned against me and no further actions were taken due to lack of proof. My mum , dad and elder brother ganged up against me and beat me up. They have seized my big phone and I am using the small phone. I swear some people like my sister deserve to suffer I don't think I will ever intervene for her again. I have washed my hands and thank you for all your advice.

bigpicture001:
Thanks man.. heard from her friend that sh said am too stingy,.

Honestly I didn't make her spend up to 50k from her wage.. 300k is not big and can be exhausted soon..

The weight will be too much if I form the normal Nigerian guy who likes to carry load on their head

My brother cars dey o......just know the one you are going for and the purpose you have in mind.

Like here ,I got a good one for 180,000. A friend sold to me. Generally, i observe that tokunbos are more expensive. Cheap cars can be anywhere from 150,000 to 500,000 depending on how fortunate you are.

Some have plenty cars in their compound ,wasting away. Sometimes when they see abuyer, they just give it away.

My advise,.meet some mechanics around. You will be surprised how cheap some even big cars are when you price from mechanics. If you have 200k to 300k you go see a good car ,even though not the type that can do Uber. Add something to it, you can get.clean Uber type ones from mechanics if you are forunate for 300-400k.

But mind you, keep small thing for general maintainenance.

The secrets na mechanics.

Tell them your budget....they will get cars for you, na you go tire especially January or February like this so.

What me I did , I took loans from some microfinance banks and bought an Audi ,later sold it and bought a Nissan estate for bread distribution business.

My brother I prefer to borrow from banks and slave to pay the banks than buy a car on hire purchase and pay times two or three to the owner of the bus, with a high probability that if you default ,you can lose the car ,becuase it is hire purchase.

I can't slave for one idiot and be giving him times two or three of the money he used to buy the bus.

I can't o, if you get that kind power to slave for a year or two, to buy an hire purchase car, you can go ahead, but if not my brother, join some microfinance banks meetings and apply for loan.

Most of them give 100k ,to repay in 24weeks. Collect from two sources and buy one cheap motor to start with. The car is your own ,you will just be repaying the loans weekly. But if you default, they can embarrass you o.

If you extra funds you can add, even better. Add whatever the microfinance banks gives you and buy something your pocket can carry.

Hayee:
Hahahaha Nigerian girl know this and know it well Nigerian men don't like the truth

So if he asks for your body count and it is 100, just divide it by 50
Or even 100 sef

Nigerian men don't like good women
Nigerian men are addicted to heartless gold diggers

So a friend of mine who is based in Lagos state called me few weeks back and was telling about how he is earning 225$ per week working for a foreign company in Lagos, I converted the money to naira and it was almost 130thousand naira per week

I asked him if there is vacancy in the company so I will apply and he said he will do something about it, he called me yesterday and said there is vacant for two workers and he has already collected one form for me, he said I should prepare myself make sure i come over to lagos between today (Friday 26th Nov 2021) to(Monday 29th Nov 2021)

He said the registration fee is 450thound naira, and I must come with the money, he also said if I fail to come before or on Tuesday morning next week then they will give the job to someone else.

Good day nairalanders.
I will make it very brief. Please I need your advice.
I've been a nairalander since 2016 but this is my first official post.

My father is a good, noble and humble man. A successful business man. He's very proud of us (his children), we're also proud of him. We're 3. I'm 29 years of age, the eldest and only son. He make sure we don't lack anything. We all went to one of the prestigious Private University in Nigeria. I and my immediate baby sis are graduate, while last born still in 300l.

The problem is that, my father don't know how to dress, he prefer to wear faded and worn out clothes. My dad drive highlander 2014 model. If my Dad comes down from his car, you will think he's a driver to an imaginary Boss because of the way he dressed.
Blessed memories of my beloved mom May her soul R.I.P. She was always complaining and sometimes my Dad won't listen to her.

I'm a good fashion designer, my love for fashion is topnotch. I also own a laundry store and a barbing store. I've been privileged to sew some clothes for comedian Buchi which he loves so much and he promised to patronize me again.

GOD in heaven knows how many lovely, mature and soft dress I've sew and bought for my father with my money. He only wears it once and won't wear it again, there are some he haven't put on at all. He celebrated his birthday August, I bought this nice shirt 18k for him as a gift. Till today he hasn't put it on.

Please note: money is not his problem. The other day he stopped by at my store, I and my boys were working. He noticed nobody was using one of my industrial machines. He asked and I said it was faulty. He said how much? I said 170k but I'll change it soon before January....(because I just wrapped my car from corolla to ES Lexus)....Before I could say Jack... Baba don send me 200k. I ordered the machine instantly.

See what happened this morning, He got an invitation to attend a meeting. The smartest way to dress for a highly regarded man like him is native wear.
So he gave me this faded black trouser turning white to brush for him, that he wanted to wear it for the meeting...See eh, It was so annoying. I went to his room gathered the nice, starched and ironed native I could gather and I told him to select one, that I won't brush that faded trouser. He started saying ... " I'm proving stubborn and all manner things"... I'm sure our tenants could hear our argument.

Please Nairalanders. What can I do to make my Dad dress well. I plan to set fire on those faded and worn out clothes but it will look so disrespectful. I'm sure his friends have accepted his mode of dressing.
My siblings and I are tired of complaining.

Please I need an advice!!!

Klass99:
Lol , I feel you.



I don't know for sure, but I like to think that people like us, are not in the minority.

Even in my personal life (offline) I don't know people who applaud this lifestyle.

Klass99:
I think a good number of us, frown at that yahoo lifestyle and we are not in the minority either.

Klass99:
I sincerely hope younger women and single ones, learn from her mistakes, like she intended.

I keep seeing juju man and lots of prayers, side by side.... Do the two go hand in hand? Are prayers said at a juju man's shrine? Or were you saying your prayers in private to our Creator, while seeking the devil's help as well?

Mylordmygod1:
A beautiful afternoon to all nairalanders.

Firstly, my greatest fear when it comes to things of this world is 'women', That's why i don't want to break a womans heart in a way that i will be the one to recieve the blame.

I've been in a relationship with my girl for about 3years now, and each time my mum or friends ask me if i'm gonna marry her, my answer is always a capital letter NO.

Now, my mum is warning me to better let her go since i don't have the interest of marrying her. But the hard part is that i'v been promising this girl that i will marry her even when i'm 100% sure i won't marry her, and i don't no how to go about ending the friendship now.

Recently, i've been picking offences for minor isues, getting angry with her for no reasons, trying to give her signal, but none seems to be working, and its now like my anger is her source of happiness these days.

I really want to end the friendship now, but i want the blame to be on her side and not mine, how can i go about it?

ADVICE ME WELL

Thanks.

lalasticlala, mynd44 Your attention is highly needed here. Help, Nigerians are dying due to fake drugs!

Klass99:
Interestingly, my father who had seven of us said - two kids are more than enough in this age and time. Because, things are not going to get better in Nigeria and children will be even more stubborn and more difficult to manage.

If you ask me I'll say two kids is ideal, practical and very sensible. And it's not because my father thought or said so. It's just less stress and strain! But, the folks with one or two kids seem to be really thriving and living it up.

@ Vision101, I'm impressed and your narrative made me smile. If I may ask was your reality of one child a conscious decision by you and your wife or an act of God? You don't have to answer, but I will appreciate it if you do.

Klass99:
No, it is not advisable to have lots of children in this age and time.

Multiply and be fruitful (in the Nigerian context) is not the task of one person alone, spread the task around, for those who want it.

Having children and being a parent, should not take over your life to a point where you no longer have a life and can't even afford nice things for yourself.

Neither should it take over your life to a point where, it seems like your only purpose on this earth is having children. There's more to life than that.

Have a reasonable number of children you can take care of, without losing yourself and your soul in the process and which will also allow you to still flex, achieve other dreams and live a good life as an individual.

My colleague who dresses really well, takes vacations to nice spots and owns his house, is married with just one child. I'm not sure his current lifestyle or other feats (like the house and luxurious vacations) would have been possible at his age with 4 or 5 kids.

People with 4 or more kids are often the ones, I see struggling to pay bills and meet the demands of their family unit/household.
