In essence, every nigga who isn't chasing hoes and bitches is successful, you make it sound like there's just one, only one way to be successful.


Guy calm down, life isn't like that.

I don't drink, I don't smoke nor womanize but most of my friends that do these are ahead of me financially.

It's not always black and white, there are some areas with shades of gray.


Now talking about starting saving, saving what exactly? You find yourself in a society that does everything within its means to make you poor and you're talking about savings? Do you save on empty stomach?


There are folks that started shouldering family responsibility before they turned 18. Abeg, no let me start.


Maybe you had an easy start, lots of us didn't. Nobody laid any foundation for us, some of us has no certificate so no job, we have no money so no business. The only thing we had was our strength so we worked and spent a good part of the money on drugs to cure our frequent ailments and the rest we sent home to our equally unfortunate siblings.

And then there's rent and the always increasing electricity bill etc. How much do we take home every day? Sometimes N1.5k or 2k depending on your boss and maybe 3k on lucky days that you served two people but one plate of food is N300 so we eat beans and bread instead to save money because transportation back home is N500 minimum.


And I ask, how can you save?


I am not making excuses for Laziness, I hate that but you lots got to understand that life got no balance.


I grew up in this so I know how difficult it is. I am a victim so I can tell you a thing or two.


There was a time I soaked garri morning and evening for five days straight up with no other meals inbetween while digging a church's foundation alone.

Let me rephrase this in case you didn't get it.

I went from Monday to Friday without tasting oil, salt, pepper or anything cooked with fire so that I can have enough money to rent a shop.


I needed the whole wage from the digging to pay for my shop so I didn't want to spend a dime on food because doing so will mean that I will have to look for another job to complete the money.

When I opened the shop, the government pounced on me. Local, state and federal government alike.
With multiple taxes.

All these from someone that was powered by garri and sugar with water for five days. I almost died on the fourth day, my eyes were rotating in their sockets like an orbit fan. Abeg let's leave story.

You see some of the alcoholics and gamblers are frustrated. A ticket a day gives them hope to live for another day. If the ticket binds, they will play another one. Another hope for 24hrs of life.



Some do these and it's unfortunate. It is also the reason for the increase in crime and the bad thing in the society.


But it all boils down to the system. Let's not talk about the early bird that ate the worm, let's talk about the early worm that was eaten. It was an early riser too.


So many prostitutes everywhere, why?

Lies boss, an annoying one.

Why are our brothers in the white man's land doing better that some of us here? Did they inhale the X chromosomes upon arrival? Every woman has this X chromosome so why are the women back here not doing no better?


Why do guys in the white man's land have fewer prayer point that us? Simple, government have answered most of them.


Hey! If womanizing and alcohol is the reason we are poor like you said then only few white people would be rich. I mean, those guys fvck like Rabbits, they drink, smoke and do hard drugs. So how come?



Let me talk about why our countries are poor using Nigeria as a case study.


Nigeria is not poor because it's a "Nigga country"


She's poor because she's too diverse to be rich. I keep saying this, that our diversity is a curse.

Day in and out we keep talking about tribalism and how it's drawing us back but what's tribalism? Tribalism is patriotism in its purest form.


You can't lump 3 major different nations together without any mapped plan on how it would be run and expect progress.


What exactly is Nigeria's dream?



Nothing. Win election, attack opposition until its the time for the election and then start campaign.


Abeg I don tire to dey type.

The good news brethren is that I was able to beat the system so you all can. Just keep working and keep planning. Opportunity will surely present it itself, please don't waste it.

But you must have plans.. It's the most important of all.

Don't let anyone make you feel like a piece of shit, they don't know your story.

You nailed it man!

This thread brought back memories.
However, I still have a crush on NL.

You nearly killed me this afternoon.
I was sipping Fanta while reading your post. Had to totally pause, close my eyes and jejely swallow before I burst into laughter.
I always like to read your posts but this one nearly choke me.
Have a nice day man.

meetme01:
Netsol is still okay. I have over 10domains there and sold 2 already. It's a matter of patience for 60days expiration. Some even sale before 60days expiration. Just ensure you reg good names and be hopeful for grace.

Yes, you pay the new registrar charges if you intend to move the domain to another after 60days lock and automatically you have renewed for a year.

More sales to us all

Thanks for your reply. Appreciate.
After selling a domain there (before 60 days lock) the buyer will have to create an account there so I can push to them right?
Amen to your prayer. More sales to us.

IDEALCASH:
NOTICE

Let me buy your Netsol domain for you
A domain cost $4.95(#420/$)
Service charge is #250 per domain
Prompt Service Guaranteed

Hi. Some quick questions.

1) Learnt Netsol is "casted" already because end users have a bad experience with them. Is there a work around?
2) If peradventure I buy and 2 months has passed, I will still have to pay (the new registrar) before I can transfer to another registrar right?

Pardon my questions if I sound like a novice.

How do I start? Where do I start from?
I was waiting to see the money korokoro in my account before posting...I had to be sure it wasn't a dream.
I started this journey late June where I bought my first 3 times, those names haven't sold yet oo. However, I kept buying more. Could buy one name this month or even two the next month and I didn't stop outbounding despite not receiving positive responses. There were times where I questioned all that I had learned but never did I feel like giving up because of all the bosses in the house who never stopped encouraging newbies like me. I told myself: "this business, na here we dey".
My greatest thanks go to Jehovah, my God. I believe in his undeserved kindness so much. My husband, my mentor Felix who encouraged me to keep pushing, all the bosses whom I have read and will keep reading from their wealth of experiences on this thread and who were always there to answer all our questions...Tranxo, ikhalyfah, Elon mosque, awesome duru, cyrilefit, budosky, please no vex if I no mention your name, I hold you all in high esteem.
To my fellow newbies, keep pushing, don't give up, trust in God if you believe in him. I do. Your sale will come.

Ps: Never will I use wire transfer again. My money no complete after all my calculations. Pls, if you are a newbie like me, opt for bitcoin. It is the best.

Congrats ma'am!

Minsk24! Minsk24!! Minsk24!!!
How many times did I call you?
You are blessed!
Thanks for making me smile after a rough day.

Get a souer 500watt inverter, it is sold for less than 7k, your battery is gone, try to change it, get a dc converter for your laptop. Like this

Thanks for your reply.
I checked on Jumia and I am seeing 12k for the 500W inverter (Please see the attached pic).
I will also get a new battery as advised.
However, about the DC converter, I dont know where and how to use one. Can you please throw more light?

OCTAVO:
The person above gave the same advice I'm about to give.
Buy a 500w power inverter. Change your battery.
I've been using 75ah car battery since last year November with no issues (battery management is key). Never exhaust your battery below 50%, I've been following that rule religiously and the battery is still serving optimally.
Take note, I use more of DC gadgets.
Buy a DC to DC converter as he suggested too. here's a short video of one below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxy10TYGh5A

Thanks bro.
I will get both on Friday (Inverter and Battery).
But that DC converter, like I said, I really don't know much about it. What's the cost like? Can it power my regular LED TV or will I need to buy another one?

I will watch the video and update you.

Thanks a lot!

Good day Sirs,

Please I need help with my installation.
Purpose of Use

i. A 65W HP laptop and
ii. A 5w bulb

Or
i. A 30w led TV
ii. A 5w bulb
iii. 10w Starttimes Decoder.

If the TV is on, the laptop would be off and vice versa.

Now, I recently got my own solar installation with the following components:

• A 650 VA UPS
• A 30 Amps Charge Controller
• A 150W Monocrystalline Solar Panel
• A failing 75AH Car Battery (Removed from my car)

Now here’s the issue:
i. The UPS hums (at low volume anyway. You would have to place your ear close to it to hear its humming.
ii. My battery lasts for less than 20 minutes on the 5w lamp ALONE (at night) but stays on during the day
iii. My laptop lasts for about 1 minute (during the day) and about 30 seconds at night before the UPS beeps and shuts off

My questions:
• Is the humming normal? It beeps at regular intervals but that isn’t a problem.
• I intend on getting a GMB 40AH battery from Jumia (Would love to get 100AH but I am little bit down on cash now) Will it be enough?

Note: A friend said the UPS transformer is the reason why my battery doesn’t last and advice that I get an inverter. I tend to disagree. Is he right/wrong?

Thanks for your replies

Sure. But there's a Whatsapp group for Questions and Answers.

However, I want to limit posting of links as spam bots have a tendency to ban people for posting links here, hence the group. (I have been banned for creating this topic before)

I am so glad to hear about your artificial grass and it is really beautiful. Agriculture Technology I think these playgrounds make your school kids friendly. It is really a good idea and these pictures of the playgrounds you have shared are beautiful.

Ewan1:
I like the idea a lot. I think it is the best way to make the place much attractive. Thanks a lot for sharing this idea electric cars pros and cons. The image you have shared before and after the arrangement of the grass is fantastic. I think this idea can be adopted by other institutions too.

You guys are just building backlinks unrelated to the content. This may harm your ranking instead of going higher in SERPS. By the way, NL links are nofollow.

bro leave that thing. beards makes you look manly, confident and increases the respect you get from people especially girls. I noticed girls greet people properly with the title "bros" "brother" when they have beards than their beardless counterparts. just tell him that it's all genetics instead of telling him that what he needs is sense not beards

OluwasureGig:
beards makes you look manly

Mmmmm. I certainly don't look girlish

OluwasureGig:
and increases the respect you get from people especially girls. I noticed girls greet people properly with the title "bros" "brother" when they have beards than their beardless counterparts

I don't have beards, mostly on low cut and get loads of respect anywhere I go (including from women of all ages). In fact, I am quite reserved, I don't talk much and I still get respected a lot.

OluwasureGig:
just tell him that it's all genetics instead of telling him that what he needs is sense not beards

I think OP already knows its genetic. But needing to grow beards coz of girls is where he needs sense.

Do have a nice weekend bro

Beards sha.
I don't have beards (just about three strands which I remove promptly anytime I go for a hair cut) and I still get my own fair share of women.
The hairs on your face is not what defines you.
Dress well, smell nice and be yourself. Girls will come for you (Meanwhile not all girls like beards).
Notice I didn't mention money? Contrary to popular opinion, who will love you will love you regardless of money.

Davash222:
If that’s what he believes, then he need sense not beards.

True Talk.

Where will the devil end eventually? Hell. How do you look at a person who is destined for hell? Without hope of salvation. With pity.

Mr garri dey your dey. Don't use me to score cheap points. I made my comments without quoting make yours. I'm entitled to my opinion. So are you. You say all sort of bullshit I read and ignore. Because it's what's expected of an odd toed ungulate. You can do likewise and stop behaving like a microcephalic baboon.
Have a nice day

Ah ah...
Somebody help me with the "You are so ash!" meme
On a more serious note, some posts and quotes are better ignored.
Remind me not to vex you.

change to another Nigeria number

I did already. Got the code.
Thanks!

eliok:
hmm. Use textplus app number

Hi ELiok.
I have been trying to verify my KDP account but I didn't get the one time code with my Nigerian number.
I also used textplus app but didn't receive the One Time Code.
Any other solution.
Regards.

To some extent you are right.
The keyword is "to some extent" which means some of the things up there are just not true.

Emilokoiyawon:
One of the problems I have with some of you is that your memory is very short. Herdsmen murderous rampage did not start with Buhari. During GEJ's administration these murderers were rampaging all across the country. Killing innocent men, women and children in every single region especially the Benue-Plateau axis. And Jonathan (also) did not do anything about it. Now, the elections are over but some of you are still crying more than the bereaved. You memory is short so let me remind you. After Yar Adua's death, the Northern oligarch decided that GEJ (as vice) will not be allowed to take over the presidency. Let me ask you, which region stood PUBLICLY for Jonathan? Not the SE. Not even the SS - his own people. But yes the SW. The same Yoruba people that many of you like to falsely accused whenever things don't go your way. Yorubas fought the Northern oligarchy for GEJ. Now, GEJ became president and decided that the only way to celebrate his presidency was to systematically marginalize the very same region that stuck its neck out for him. As if that was not enough, he went on a public crusade crooning about how the Igbos (who did nothing to defend him against Northern aggression) were the 'back-bone' of his administration. The Yorubas sent people to GEJ to tell him to extend a hand to the SW. To stop the marginalization in terms of appointments etc. GEJ turned deaf ears. Yorubas remained calm since at the end of the day this is politics. One day he will come to the SW to ask for votes. So we waited. Then the Boko-haram issue started going out of control. The Northern oligarchs stuck their knives out again. The elections rolled in and the ungrateful GEJ had the effontery to come to the SW for votes. GEJ promised heaven and earth but we did not believe him. Because as they say "...if someone shows you who they are believe them the first time..." The rest is history.

Say what you like about Buhari (he has his faults including his inability to address the serious insecurity issues), he is doing some work in the SW. Lagos-Ibadan expressway. SW rail project. We supported GEJ wholeheartedly and he poked his fingers in our eyes. We supported Buhari and he is repaying our support. We are not fools. Nigeria is very very far from been a perfect union. Any administration that gives us even 50% of what we want we will support. GEJ not only gave us nothing but he was publicly disparaging us. And some of you idiots think we should have supported him the second time. Use your brain or stop posting rubbish on a public forum.

Spot on!
God! I like the way you schooled that guy.
