That's how I developed an accent that's not "Nigerian"...

Whoever is investigating this matter, here's your first piece of evidence: why would a black man who apparently can't swim go for water paddleboarding alone? It's uncharacteristic of blacks to play such rough play with their lives. Have you ever seen a black man going for "camping in the deserted forest" or "swimming with sharks" or "diving to the titanic wreckage"? It's usually a whites thing. They're the ones that see something dangerous and walk towards it for "fun" or to "investigate". My black brothers would rather stay at home with a bowl of chicken and watch the outcome of the white man's "investigation" on TV. "Life no get duplicate" is a universal black mantra, bigger than black lives matter.

While I do understand the reason for this statement but generalizing that "universal black mantra" or mindset is amusingly ridiculous and yes, I've heard a lot of people say something similar to this.

I clicked on this thread expecting the bolded.

The purpose of this thread is to encourage you to start saving no matter how little, this is especially for my fellow hustlers still in the street trying to make their first thousands.

You could have just two accounts at first and maybe a trusted saving app (I don't know one).

A lot of things will never remain the same in the coming months, I'm not happy about this but I've got to say it. Start saving up!

Enough said.

I lost my last book so I'm writing the next one in a book.

After I saw my account balance, I was determined to follow my method religiously. Although, I didn't waste the money I earned — it was well spent, I got a laptop to focus on writing and Amazon kdp.

This week, I managed to get N4,500 and this is the naughty thing I'm gonna do:

50% will go to my UBA account
20% will go to my GTB account

The rest will kept for groceries and I'll be sending N200 MTN airtime to my mother — it's been a while I did that. Things are getting worst everyday which is I believe earning in dollars will set my life on track. I do this for the family.

Hopefully, I get to pay my rent due by September before I get thrown to the street .

About two days ago, I came across this thread and a lot of them keep talking about this book and how it has helped them make good decisions.

I was at work but I typed "download the richest man in Babylon PDF" and luckily I downloaded it from a site. One of the commenters on that thread also shared a link and I clicked it, the book downloaded immediately.

Also, when I remembered ilegendd's BAYUBARR method (something like that); I got angry with myself for failing to follow my own method.

U still get change for your account. Wat about me wey bank say I dey even owe dem watin I go do

At least, you're using a phone that allows you post pictures on nairaland.

Way before I came across "the richest man in Babylon", I created two bank account — I planned to create more and assign all of them with a specific purpose.

But I was just starting life and was broke but had vision. Life happened and those accounts hadn't been receiving money, in fact, one of the banks sent me an email reminding it's been months since I last rang the bell.

Don't tell me, it's for card maintenance ✋
Are they aware of the situation in this country? They better pay me back or I do that naughty thing!

I came back home tired, sleepy and frustrated yesterday after working overnight for almost 20 hours. After bathing, thinking and eating, I slept off, I was so tired I left data connection on.

I woke up to see that UBA debited my account that has only 1k — I was like "WTF, have you no shame?" That 1,000 meant the world to me, look at what they said to me:


Txn: Debit
Ac:2XX..Bleep
Amt:NGN 53.75
Des:CARD MAINT. QTR3 2023

Because he says the truth ?
Go and verify his claims if he wasn't right.

How many Nigerians can afford 50k or have such amount in their bank account? People like Mr Reno don't even bother to come down to the ghetto and see what's going on here.

$65 or 50k is a lot of money to an average Nigerian like me, as far back as 2018, despite being an intelligent kid I had no choice but to give up my dream of going to college.

Look, the only reason I'm commenting is to tell the world that amount is a lot to an average Nigerian and we'd have to work our as$ out to make that amount.

I come from a family that can't afford that 50k, do average poor Nigerians have more than that amount in their bank account? $65 might seem very small to you but not to people like us.

I have to work for months like a donkey to get that amount of money... Anyway, I'm not even in school right now — just commenting Mr Reno sees $65 as a "chicken change" but a lot of Nigerians don't.

Good idea but people like us who have never watched this type of sh_t but let's see how it goes.

HacheNoire:
You shouldnt have composed the novel if you didn't support Davido!

Religious tolerance is not difficult! Its respecting peoples beliefs! If any one feels he is greater, we all should welcome whatever comes with it!

Kai, I don't care if you think I wrote a novel or poem but the message has been passed — if you Christians and Moslems wanna take us back to the middle age, please do, I love adventures.

I will protect the Christians and Moslems that mean a lot to me, y'all can do whatever the f_ck you want to! At least, I'd get a story to write and publish on Amazon and become a bestseller!

I'm out of here!

I don't even know what this is all about but before thinking you own the monopoly to violence, have you ever heard of the

1. Christian crusades that took place in the 11th, 12th and 13th century
2. The numerous bloody wars in Europe
3. The world war 1 and 2

These wars were mostly fought by Christians, the some Europeans you view as cowards due to their liberal nature today.

I don't wanna talk about the Nigeria—Biafra war but what I'm trying to say is: in demanding for the right thing to be done, avoid pushing for violence.

These Christians are peaceful because of the new testament, go to the old testament and see how the Israelites destroy everything once they captured a city.

Religious folks, don't take us back to the middle age!

I wanted to ignore your comments and other religious folks here but I think it's better I say it out so it will live forever on the internet.

I'm not supporting what Davido did but bear in mind that nobody has the monopoly of violence — your comments are painting Moslems bad.

The most powerful countries in the world today are Christians but they're not screaming about how "Christianity dominates the world". You religious folks should better understand and respect others religion.

As for Christians, I don't understand the constant attack on Islam — I understand that a lot of our Arewa Moslems are intolerant but learn to respect other people's belief.

Do y'all wanna take us back to the middle age for Christ's sake?! I don't know anything about this because I mainly use only nairaland but Davido deleting the video shows he knows that the controversy could turn bloody. Funny enough, the signed artiste might even be a Moslem.

Yankee101:
I laugh sometimes and I feel like crying sometimes when I see the get rich mentality of young Nigerians. They can actually make their first million simply by farming. Mix legumes with cereals if you don't have enough money for fertilizer, cos that's the most expensive thing. We have land you can rent in abundance.

Or buy grains shortly after Harvest and drying to store until they pick in price in 3 to 6 months.

Money can be made from consistent patterns and cycles. Farming/Raining season is the natural cycle set by God.

Someone like me wouldn't mind doing that, in fact, I love it but the problem is money — the capital!

I'm all alone, starting life without a father or having to stay away from your family for years because of nwaboi apprenticeship (which only caused me pain with no gain).

Last year, after I sent my mom N30k to get a goat — the plan was to buy more once it starts producing a child and get a laptop to start Amazon kdp (I couldn't delve into freelancing because I didn't have a skill except writing and I had never owned my own laptop, that nwaboi apprenticeship did a number on me) That money was 98% everything I was worth, I literally started from the bottom — the goats died earlier this year.

Anyway, I got a laptop this year (a generous nairalander equally made that possible quickly). I'm still writing my first book and I don't care how long it takes but I will surely earn online while battling poverty offline. I do this for my family.
