Chii59:
Is he you? Are you him? What gives you the right to think that just because you FEEL something about someone's relationship, that's what's happening?
Very presumptuous of you, old man.
Stop projecting your insecurities onto others.

This is a public forum, if you bring an issue here, you want feedback from strangers, unless if he was expecting only positive feedback and that would be delusional of him.

Funny calling me old when you don’t know me and you’re accusing me of being presumptuous.

chiemmanuel:
so which staff will provide his NIN For another person to use, knowing that he can be prosecuted for the crime another person commits

So many questions, our leaders never think their policies through obviously.

Chii59:
Two bitter souls. Both you and the one you quoted.

When a man tells another man the truth, this is always the angle you women take, I wonder why.

He is way too excited, like a teenage boy who is having a girlfriend for the first time, I just asked him to calm down.

jawalis:
All I see in picture is a man with a very low self esteem who bows at the hearing of a female doctor. Trust me, yes You have a low self esteem. I can bet you are one of the people who worship doctors, lawyers and engineers. I’ll advise you work on your self esteem, Work on it and you will realize you are been enslaved. Forget all these high value silliness. It’s just what you think in your mind. I have worked with a female doctor here in Lagos who is social too. All of these blah blah blah about sleeping in 3 different hotels before you could meet her is trash. It’s not as if she work with National hospital or is she the only doctor in the hospital where she works? I read you stated that she had colleagues. So she don’t just value you as you portrayed, you are only trying to comfort yourself by those jargons you wrote up there. Not having time for you and you moving from one place to another just to see the woman whom you claimed took you for her colleague is not an evidence of high value woman. She’ll definitely make time for you if she respects and value you like you did for her. The doctor friend I have got married in 2018. She works with 2 different hospitals and still balance up her social life. All I see in your case is a man who has a low self esteem and got flattened by a doctor. Been a doctor doesn’t make a woman high value, ok? Adesua Etomi is more career oriented and trust me, she made up her time for Banky. We all know Funke Akindele’s family. So wake up and address her or you walk away. We have lots of female doctors on Nigeria, infact; There are hundreds of them out there. There are female barristers, female accountants and engineers who earn decently. So stop the foolishness in your heart and confront her.

Listen to this man OP.

While it may not be low self esteem, I think OP has just never dated a woman who has her life together so he is over the man on this one.

sirjamesjnr:
She has seen the thread.

If she has indeed seen this thread, her respect for you has dropped a little. Smh.

Keep your frame bro, very important, else she’ll start feeling she is too good for you.

Don’t do it, that ship has sailed.

Anyone knows what’s going on with Skrill withdrawals.

Ok

dannex4adx:
I want to advise you like my little sister, if you like follow, if you no like don't follow! I know what I am saying. The guy doesn't love you, take it or leave it. if he really loved you he will cherish you. He was furious when you changed your plan of not visiting him again because he had planned how HE WAS GOING TO SLEEP WITH YOU LIKE A MAD DOG. believe me! He doesn't love you. He wants sex from you only. God used the change of plan to reveal to you the kind of person he is to you but your foolishness will not make you to understand it. forget about him or else it will end in premium tears.

Why you dey tell am na Even the blind can see our brother just wants to smash.

Yes it's me Jude.

You said you freelance building mobile apps and website. Am asking what language do you specialize on for freelancing. I believe java is one of them.

Python. I am also decent at a couple other languages.

mike8804:
nice one! Next when investing in crypto assets, make sure you introduce cost averaging. more blessing

When I sold, I sold all I held because I was anticipating a sharp and quick crash. But cost averaging is a wise strategy to use in crypto trading I agree.

brandable:
Followed you on that football and lost with you.
Please what's your stack in freelancing.

Was that you? Sorry about that bro.

I didn’t understand the freelancing question.

My story.

Bitcoin: W
I sold about $45k worth of bitcoin in the early days of the corona virus pandemic when the price was crashing, I failed to buy back in when the price fell to around $4500-$5000 per bitcoin because I was hoping it will fall further to around $2500-$3000. I eventually bought back in at $7000 and sold when at $11,000. It did crash, to around $9000 about 2 months ago and I bought back in, I sold again at $19000 about 3 days ago. Beautiful year for crypto trading.

Football betting: L
About 3 months ago, I was kind of itching to invest in something new when I stumbled on a website that claims it gave accurate predictions, well I invested about 500k naira in it, I am not really a gambler but I just wanted to give it a try, and I actually won at first, doubled my money. Emboldened by my first win, I went in a second time, this time around with 3 million naira and I lost
Well even though I was really never much of a gambler in the first place. I am done with football betting now forever, expensive lesson.

US Stocks: W
At the beginning of the Corona virus I had some loose change and was looking to invest in something. It doesn’t take a genius to know that with lockdowns being imposed in many countries, many companies will experience a dip in stock prices because patronage is expected to fall, unless you have a business whose service will become more important during the lockdown. In March I bought 5 Amazon stock on eToro for $1820 each totaling just over $9000, I sold them in September when Amazon stocks was at $3400, I turned $9000 into $17000 in 6 months.

Freelancing: W
My day job is building mobile applications and websites and securing Offshore business licenses for clients. All the money I invest come from freelancing. This is a business that can be done by anyone. Start up costs are low, and with the unemployment rate among young Nigerians particularly so high I believe more of us should look towards getting into freelancing, and with the Naira so weak, earning in USD is basically a super power.

So this is a thread I thought might be a good idea for us to encourage each other especially with the effects of the corona virus pandemic on the year 2020 as a whole and how if affects the average Nigerian businessman/entrepreneur.

We can share stories, experiences learnt this year and tips for 2021.

Thread open for everyone from online freelancers to agro produce exporters.

Please lets keep the thread clean, no unnecessary comments so readers don’t scroll too much to find relevant stories.

still available?

Yes. Send me a DM.

It is quite amusing reading news coming out of Rivers state over the past couple of days, especially considering that the same group of people who cheered Governor Wike on like he is some messiah during the reelection campaign for Godwin Obaseki against the APC are now bearing the brunt of a merciless military campaign due to inter tribal clashes in Oyingbo during the end SARS protest. There was a clash between cattle farmers and IPOB members who are mostly Ibo's, guess who the military is currently dealing with right now when it was a case of "two fighting"?

I sympathise with the victims of this latest crackdown, but the lesson being learnt here is politicians do not give a flying Bleep about you, you where his cheerleaders during the elections in Edo, what is he repaying you back with?

Shattuck:
then we have to be on guard nigeria needs to get rid of quota system of politics of numerical advantage of political affiliation through religion. as long as this remain there will always be problem.

The Northerners from the very birth of Nigeria has rigged the game, when the 1999 constitution was written again, the southern elites like the sellouts they are didn't object.
What you are saying we do requires a vote in the senate and house of reps because we will need to amend the constitution. Who is the majority in that house or reps and senate? You know. It's not looking good for us at all.
The only saving grace for us right now would have been the southern elites backed by the masses in one voice saying we have had enough of being lorded by the north, the southern masses alone can not do it, the establishment will send soldiers to kill people down here under the guise that they are terrorist separatist who hates the north, the northerners will buy this rhetoric and start killing southerners living in the north, it will just be total chaos.

Shattuck:
look I am neither Yoruba Igbo or Hausa but let me tell you what I noticed during the past two weeks of protest is this the Yoruba and Igbo have more in common than you know, nigeria faces a bigger threat, there are powers whose sole aim is to keep Yoruba and Igbo constantly divided you know who that may be, when the protest started it was run town and psquare they are igbos the best thing a southern president can do for nigeria in2023 is to call for restructuring or a referendum. I saw how folks were calm from other region some even thought it was about removing buhari from office for nigeria to see the light the Yoruba and Igbo tribe must unite I can't stress this enough.

I can stand behind this. The only problem is "they" will probably assassinate any southern president who tries to do this.

Hello, I am mulling getting into the US on an EB 5 Visa, I want to know how easy it is to get in via this route. I could google it up but I want to hear from people who have walked the walk. Thank you.

I got about two very funny emails accusing me of being a tribalist. I guess some people misunderstood what point I was making on this thread.

1. Tinubu was played. He knew about the deployment of soldiers but there was no way he would have consented to the level of brutality meted out on the protesters that night because Lagos is his turf and he knows he will be blamed. They probably told him they will scare off the protesters but the plan was to kill a few people knowing he will be blamed and leave the scene and let the people turn on him. The fact that the protesters where there till morning proves my theory right that they just wanted to kill a fee people and stop. If the army wanted to clear out that space that night, more soldiers will be deployed and it will have been done.

2. A lot of Igbo's hate Tinubu, they cheer for his destruction under the guise of he was responsible for the Lekki massacre but they really just hate him. They do not call out their own politicians who have a more direct negative influence on them.

3. There is mutual distrust among Yoruba's and Igbo's, which is why the North runs the country, which is a very unfortunate reality.

I do not hate Igbo's, I didn't say Igbo's are the ones burning Tinubu's properties, but one thing I know for sure is a lot of the twitter and nairaland monikers applauding the destruction of the man are Igbo's.
Is Tinubu corrupt? Very likely. But if we are going to start uniting in the South and face our common enemy, then we must stop shielding our own corrupt politicians because they are our tribesmen while cheering for the destruction of those from other tribes. This causes distrust among us. Deal with your oppressors in the East and the West deal with theirs, the masses win.

Fuckyoumod:
very beautiful write up... But was marred by tribal and ethnic division. This post is a divider and not a unifier. Please be an agent of unity!

Going tribal wasn’t an attack on the Igbos, I just said it the way it is.

Advision:
I honestly don't see how the violence benefits Tinubu, and he is smart enough to realise there would be a backlash like this. I think his problem is he decided to play second fiddle and now he is being blamed for every and anything going wrong

Exactly my point!

ejibaba:
It's not sir...

Look at the comments on this thread, you think anyone from the North is here? We southerners just do not trust each other at all.

hotwax:
Tinubu even boasted of how he rigged osun election including MC oluomo.

Tinubu was the sole cooker of his own failure.

You op cook up your consiracy..this Yoruba boy from osun saw what power hungry tinubu did in osun with MC oluomo.

My curse on him will never depart him. Tinubu is part of political class. He is not my father.

That God father must die. A new age for the youth has come

I am being realistic here bro, dead that your youth will lead idea. I want it but realistically it can not happen.

Do you know how much it costs to win an election in this country? Even ordinary house of rep? You need very very deep pockets, and the only young people who can compete with this rich old men are children of politicians who are beneficiaries of the corrupt system or those with godfathers who will be mere puppets of their godfathers.

I am looking at this purely from the angle of realism, we will be trading one godfather for another, tinubu will be brought down not by the masses but by his political rivals who will use the masses, once he is down, they will step in and be the new godfathers, the masses will be right back where we started.

My point is don’t make the mistake of thinking this is about the people because it is not! The people are merely pawns in the hands of political dynasties trying to outmaneuver each other.

Advision:
Tinubu was foolish to stay on the fence this longbon several issues that bothered on the safety and welfare of his people all because he wants to please those who he assumes will hand over power to him.

It is becoming clear to him, that these people are likely not going to hand over power to him and he has lost credibility before the people from whom true power comes from

Very foolish is an understatement. A class captain who is just doing classroom politics shouldn’t be making the kind of rookie mistakes he keeps making. How did he get to where he is with this actions of his of late. Maybe its just a case of whom the gods want to destroy they first make mad.

MagicBishop:
It is now you know southern unity abi,?

Where was your southern unity in 2015?

Here we go again, Goodluck was a disaster! Why do you guys love this guy so much, he promised you a Niger bridge, he did nothing, his reign was at a time when the oil price was so good we had so much money as a country but he still did very little.
We made a mistake with Buhari but no one can predict the future, if GEJ had more control of things no one will consider a former dictator.
By the way GEJ was also sucking up to the North, did a whole lot of things for them, all to please them and did nothing in the south west. If there was southern unity at least he will have shown his fellow southerners across the confluence river some love too.

ejibaba:
At a point I almost agreed with you till I remembered he also supported the killing of IPOB. Brother, was Tinubu supposed to support it?? Was he?? Would the North support such against a state in the North?? See, it high time southern Nigeria unite...We all saw this coming so believe me I agree with all your analysis...but pls he got played.

The chances of the south uniting is quite slim sadly. It’s a pipe dream, so much distrust between us.

deboysben:
What on earth is wrong with some yorubas.
For christ sake why turning this tragedy into tribalism?
Nigeria govt under buhari command is killing innocent people all you could do is to turn it into tribal war between west and east.

All I am saying is if we want to burn buildings, that should be done in Abuja, we are burning our homeland when the real perpetrators of this heinous crime are elsewhere. How the hell does Tinubu get a worse rep than the commander in chief of the armed forces of the federal republic. Make it make sense.

The grievances of the people are right but destroying and burning buildings? Cmon, that isn’t right at all.

EasternActivist:
You have indeed lost focus, who is shielding a murderer of a beast by name nwafor the retired blood sucker with a bounty on his head, the criminal of a person has been on the run with his family and has went underground.

He is just like a walking dead in the east right now.

Whether peter obi has anything to do with this or not, the fact is that there is no evidence he is a murderer. Dear our very crop of politicians are very selfish.

Guy just stay focus, we are all in this, else we loose it all and go back to the times when politicians divide us by tribe and the preachers divide the youths by religion.

Aluta continua, the blood of youths fallen during this protest will never be in vain.



#BlackTuesday. Injustice to one, is injustice to all.

Cmon lets get real Peter Obi was Governor, admit you have a soft spot for him, nothing wrong with that. Hundreds of dead bodies show up in a river and you tell me the governor of that who state sanctioned nobody has nothing to do with it. If we found hundreds of dead bodies in the Lagos lagoon you wouldn’t be this kind to sanwo olu.
