successmatters: That's bad
If you didn't help this business man to subsidize his purchases and expenses, if you didn't give him the capital to set up or to operate, you have no rights to force him to sell at a particular price.
But this will always backfire, as more owners lock up or transfer their goods, or go underground, the goods will enter black market, and everyone who really needs it will pay triple the cost, at the point of death.
Buharri tried that in 1984, someone should please remind me how that matter ended?

What a nuisance. What an evil human you are? What is bad about mentioning ones first contact with a deceased individual?, You lack content and hate filled towards someone you have never met in person or has offended you personally, what a schizophrenic being camouflaged as human you are, alongside your uncultured admirers?

There is a difference between words and actions. One might change plans when faced with the negative impacts that may occur.
It is ridiculous to cherrypick the one that suits you. Why didn't Kperogi say anything about how Obi promised to fight insecurity if elected? Tinubu, Obi and Atiku promised to fight insecurity. Why is Tinubu not implementing the fight? Terrorists are doing promo. Kperogi should channel his criticism only on the one elected. You get time for that chap. I stopped following him when i discovered he was biased in his write up prior to the Feb elections. |

Jewessgratitud3: Your decision was too drastic and rash. You should have tried to reason with her on why she made such statement, cut her some slack and see if she would do it again before leaving her. I mean... For someone to make such weighty statement, you must have really pushed her to the wall. Like you rightly said, she said you keep denying her, which means it's not that once you did it.
The girl too should have been more patient as what she requested for is not something that will kill her if she doesn't get it. The Wig can always wait or better still let her go and hustle and buy it herself.
Both of you were wrong .no be every small thing go enter I no do again. A woman's loyalty is tested when a man is financially down and his faithfulness is when he's made it. Your comment lacks sensitivity. You thought the guy ended the relationship because of wig right? Well i believe you may have the same mindset and approach to relationships and that's wrong. She spoke from the depth of her heart which is frightening. Any man who overlooks such subtle outburst from a woman you intend spending your life with is doomed. |

Romance › Re: Red Flags Everywhere: A young Man & His Deceptive Girlfriend by SWATMan: 8:03pm On Jan 06, 2024 |
MisterBanny: Greetings to all Nairalanders, this year and even beyond, I've promised myself to focus more on developing myself and family. I will Never love any Nigerian lady until I'm ready for marriage. I also vowed that any of my male friends who come up with any relationship issues will lose our friendship cos I hate it. A Friend has been pestering me, he needs advice as to the behavior of his girlfriend who he's dated for over Two years who he intends settling down with. Here are his complaints: 1. She doesn't allow my guy access to her phone. This guy doesn't intentionally check his woman's phone except he wants to send movies and pictures, but anytime he wants to do so, the girl gets instantly Nervous and starts fidgeting. She becomes restless & would come closer to see what the guy is actually doing with her phone. 2. They haven't had penetrative Sex since they started dating. The girl says she's a virgin. She claimed she's a Virgin even during the toasting period without allowing my guy to find out by himself. She's 28yrs old while my guy is 33. They play, kiss, romance, he gives her girl head but the girl doesn't give him head. Even when my guy asks the girl to allow him confirm and verify her Virginity claim, she refused.
3. She hasn't introduced him to any friend or family member. My guy had to beg & beg before she gave out two of her family members Phone numbers to him. Sadly, these two persons don't take him serious. If my guy calls to greet them, they hardly pick and then they miss his calls, they don't call back.
4. She doesn't post my guy on the social media, but my friend posts her always and even write romantic stuffs.
5. She has lots of male friends who call her everyday even on Video calls. She said she prefer male friends to female friends. Why should a guy be calling u everyday even during the midnight, like 1am, 2am and 3am? Is that proper?
6. She claimed her ex maltreated her, yet the ex still calls her and when she misses the call, she calls back or flash him to call. Is that right?
7. She traveled in December 2022 and ghosted my friend the very moment she took off from the park. She stopped picking his calls and never called back, for no reason. My friend gave up and moved on. After 5 months, she came back & asked for reconciliation and they started again & continued. My friend ask her to tell him exactly why she did that, but she said "Nothing". She promised never to do it again. She traveled again last December and she repeated same. This time, she picks my guy's calls but she hasn't called or chatted with my friend. My friend has moved on.
8. My friend had once read her WhatsApp chat with a guy. She pleaded for mercy and my guy forgave her.
9. She came to visit my guy, my guy helped her to lose her hair that day. I mean he losed everything while the girl was busy Playing with her phone. After he finished losing the hair, this girl couldn't even sweep my guy's room. It was my friend who slept the room after she had left. He swept it for days. U know how women's hair can be in the room. This girl has never swept or done any domestic chores for my guy before.
This is same girl that each time my guys wants to breakup with her, she will cry and cry and apologize and he will forgive her. My guy doesn't cheat and he loves the girl too much. She misbehaves a lot yet, she continues to claim love. Her actions betray her words. I feel very sorry for the emotional entanglement. My guy is traumatized cos he has been so good to this girl. I feel pity for him. Pls advise a brother now, before it gets late For those with discerning mind, it's obvious you are one involved because you supplied so much details which a friend may not know except you live with them. |

It's no coincidence the OP is from that region.
Quote me again and I will reply with real-life instances. Wealth and privilege can insulate ones experience of how the world works and obscure the realities of marginalization. There is also some scientific evidence that wealth and privilege can reduce empathy and compassion for those less fortunate. The combination of assuming everyone has the same rights, privileges and opportunities, ignorance of differential treatment/exclusion/discrimination, victim blaming and a belief that hard work is always a path to success makes it easier to justify the differences between people and focus energy on policy that helps those who are perceived as helping themselves or contributing to society (and ignore those who are not). Before you argue about poor people who made it big - there is a big difference between temporary poverty and marginalization, so I’m not talking about the rags to riches crowd. Marginalization can be crippling, learn about it before you judge people it has nothing to do with tribe or region. When you are poor you become powerless and when you are powerless, you become desperate! This is psychology and not social studies.⁷ Successful people are not better, they don’t work harder, and they are not more deserving, they are just lucky. |

Family › Re: I Want To Cancel The Marriage Plans. Is It Worth It? by SWATMan: 1:50pm On Dec 31, 2023 |
FanRong: I'm sorry, this post is going to be a long one. But you're saving a soul if you read through and advice candidly.
My story We've dated for 6months and we've lived together for the 6months.
On our 3rd month, I found her interesting and told her I'll like to marry her. She accepted but no engagement ring or anything to show. We just accepted by word of mouth.
Since then, I've worked towards it. I've told her to call her mum and eldest brother(dad is late) to relate my idea and understand their feeling since it won't be that easy to marry. (same state, but my people and her people are highly selective in marriage)
After several persuasion, and threat that I'll throw her out if she doesn't relate the circumstances to her family, she called the mum. And again I had to force her to call the eldest brother. She claimed she did. And that's enough. I'm ok.
Meanwhile, there's this guy(her ex) she claims helped her when she came to Lagos. It was when I started accommodating her that I found out in her chats that she was living with this guy, but lied to me she was living with her Aunt and the aunt's husband was harassing her sexually and she wants to leave. She later told me the guy, though provides for him but has never had sex with her, even when she was living in his house. These stories doesn't move me since everyone, who is not a virgin has an ex. So I forgave all that and we moved on.
She wasn't everything I need in a women, but I told myself I could train her the way I want. We continued adjusting to each others likes and dislikes.
I feed her this 6 months, provide comfortable shelter, buy her things she needs,(not want). Told her I'll do more and open a shop for her, if we get married, but she still confronts me asking why should I wait till after marriage? . I didn't allow the words move me cos Its my decision and my money and also, I'm used to gold diggers.
A good number of times, I see her as being selfish. If things doesn't benefit her, she'll not get bothered even if I'm involved.
Just this week, It became obvious to me that she argues everything I request her to do. From 24th Dec, we've been on holiday, we're always at home. 1. I'll wake her up at 9 and ask her to prepare breakfast for the family, she'll prefer to roll on the bed than do it. I'll finally have to do it myself so I can get things done and get busy.
2. I detest girls on eye lashes. I've repeatedly told her how I dislike it, but when she went to fix herself for the Christmas, she fixed the eyelashes, Contrary to my demand.
3. I got her some sneakers to upgrade her fashion style and look smarter, instead of the usual slippers and sandals she wears. When we prepared to go to the beach few days ago, I requested her to put on the sneakers to look more fashionable, but she refused buttressing that she must wear what she wants, sandals.
4. Few days ago, we had a heated argument and she said that if I'm not happy that she's living with me, that she can go, afterall, she has somewhere to stay. I asked her to go and she immediately called that her ex bf to come to my house. I immediately swung into action, took all her belongings out, before the ex will arrive, at the same time, retrieving the items I gifted her. While she was struggling to have her gifted items back, our neighbours heard the struggle and had to come and settle for us. She apologized and I forgave her. we were back into the house.
5. Just yesterday , we left home together, and I locked the door and I took the keys with me. We walked down the street together to the Busstop, I have almost no friend and seldomly greet. But there's this my ex girlfriend by the roadside, she saw me and yelled my name, I went to greet her and my Fiancée picked offence, left me without waiting for me. After that I chased her and told her it's nothing because I've told her everything about this ex. Before we could get to the Busstop, she demanded for the house keys and I gave her since she might come back earlier than me. We couldn't say bye. The anger was clear on her face and we parted ways.
After about 15mins, I got to where I wanted to make payment for the items I picked only to notice I am not with my transaction phone. I was confused where could I have kept it, the seller insisted I may not have come to his shop with the phone, and the phone rang as I called with my second phone. so I had to call my Fiancée for assistance since she's with the keys. At first, she said she was still around the Busstop but when I told her I needed her to go home and confirm my phones whereabout, she said she can't go back that she has gone far, shouted on me and hung the phone.
I called and called and called, but she didn't pick. Many thoughts ran into me. Who took this phone? My money? , my phone? , my sim card? . I had to find my way and trekked back about 4km to the house since I had no cash with me. And finally saw the phone ringing in my house. I was relieved.
The way she shouted to me on the phone got me unbalanced, I felt she would be fire if I get this girl as a wife.
We finally traveled to our home state today and I paid the bills for the traveling. My major plan of traveling was to see her people and do the needful before I mistakenly get her pregnant. But I'm seriously contemplating of canceling this plan and throw her out come January. I need peace.
Dear nairalanders, I'm really in the middle of the deep blue sea and the devil.
I need mature and candid advice please. Should I continue with the marriage plans or the redflags are obvious? The single most important choice you will ever make is whom you marry. Marrying the wrong person will ruin your life. And it will continue ruining your life until your spouse dies or you get divorced.

You need to work out something you can live with happily or not get married. Money is the leading cause of fighting and divorce. Adultery is the leading cause of ugly divorces, followed by money. Trust me, I know. I did divorces for many years. Marriage isn’t for everyone. Don’t get married because your friends are getting married or your parents and grandparents keep bugging you. You WILL ruin your life. If you disagree about having kids, don’t get married. Don’t say, “we’ll discuss it in the future.” That is a prescription for divorce. If you both have different levels of energy, don’t get married. A person who likes to stay home and rest when not working will have conflict with a person who wants to go tailgating, partying, etc A word is enough for the wise |
