The last paragraph is important.

I know someone whose siblings got inheritance worth almost $500000 each but since they had no knowledge of how money works, preferred eating it small small so it doesn't finish instead of knowing how to multiply it even if it's putting it in investment account. One of them was scared of investment banks etc and opted for 'small, small' eating of the money, today he is broke and relying on his elder sister for a mobile home of $40,000.

The elder sister who got double too but no knowledge of how to multiply thay money followed the 'small, small' eating of the money too, but seeing that her brother became broke even with this system of life( they claimed they learned frugality from their late mum), decided to be eating her social security money instead of her inheritance, then possibly using some of the inheritance money for Airbnb business( but has little idea on this).....

Fear rules her heart as she doesn't want to be poor.

People like your friend is what is making Trump and his allies Torchlight SS. Why will you get $500k and still be collecting social security? It makes no sense.

$100k in bonds, $50k in stocks, and another $50k in petty investments, then you live on the remaining 300k, she's good to go.

Very sad indeed. They should have taken her to any other functional clinic or hospital in town since they were aware that the clinic closes by 6pm.

I remember though, that the health centre in my university days was open 24/7. People can fall ill at anytime. The Osun State University owns the Alakija built and well equipped teaching hospital. Shouldn't the students have access to that?

May her soul rest in peace.

Knowing how Nigeria functions, it won't be surprising to find out only the VC and other senior lecturers, and folks from the private sector are allowed to make use of the ultra modern hospital donated by Mrs. Alalakija.

BlueRayDick:
So, I just listened to him and I hear him saying the Federal Police will focus on enforcement of federal laws while state police will enforce state laws particularly laws that have been domesticated by the state house of assembly.

I want to ask a question: Defamation is not a crime according to Lagos state laws but a civil wrong. However, in some states defamation remains a crime based on the criminal code and that's why some people will send police down to Lagos to arrest you and then have you detained in a state like Kwara where you will be prosecuted for defamation as a crime.

So, under this new state police system, won't people still use federal police to carry you from Lagos to Abuja to prosecute you for an offence that is not a crime under Lagos state law? Who will draw the lines between the jurisdiction of Federal police and state police?

I hope my response doesn't annoy you. But the answer to your question is this is Nigeria. The only solution to the issue you raised above is to avoid offending people you know are bigger than you.

You see EFCC doing things that only police are constitutionally empowered to do. Most federal agencies/institutions do things they're not mandated to do, this will not be different.

Regardless of what is written in constitution, enforcement will always be a major problem. As long as you have money to spend, they'll bundle your ops from whatever state you want, even if no crime was committed.

When Nigerians call this man a tyrant, it amuses me.

Our Tinubu that is not a tyrant, If a Nigerian senator try this with him, the senator will be suspended and then arrested by either EFCC or DSS, unless the senator is a former governor.

nairalanda1:
That is why it is good to leave a WILL.

NTA once did a report on the importance of doing a WILL...but Nigerians then, and now, just laughed, and continued as e be.

Most Nigerians don't like preparing a will. I don't know why.
Even the educated and exposed refuse to plan one. Maybe they think they'll live forever.

What exactly informed Stella making that video?

Meanwhile, John Okafor (Mr Ibu) was a decent and honourable man while he was alive. There are Youtube videos of Mr Ibu's properties. He had powerful machines and buildings. One of his cars was valued at 18 million naira!

That said, I would also Mr Ibu's older sons to stop dragging their father's widow. Before Ibu died, she fought the woman taking care of Ibu. They should respect Ibu's memory and stop discussing his family affairs in public. They can also arrange to look after their younger siblings. They carry their father's blood.

Mr Ibu's widow should also stop discussing things in public. If there are issues, approach the inlaws and they would mediate.

Concerning wealth, please when you have money, do not over-indulge. Illness can be the line between wealth and poverty. Live frugally when you have money and save. Instead of selling assets for 50 million naira without a plan for the money, have the asset to yield steady income. Money looks big until you start spending it.

“Money looks big until you start spending it. ’’

You know the drill.
There's no amount of money that cannot be squandered. 20m,50m na mouth them take big, once 1m commot, money don finish.

This is why I believe, money management is far harder than making money.
Making money is just the beginning of the journey, the most important thing is knowing how to keep, and also multiply said money and make it work for you.

This is why it is extremely important for both partners to have their own money/source of income before/during marriage.

The idea of relying on the man 100% will never make sense to me, because nobody knows tomorrow. What if the man's income dries up, he dies, or fall seriously ill and therefore can't meet up?

If the woman has a source of income she won't feel it too much, but in the situation where she has no source of income and the man dies or his source of income dries up, the family will suffer shege.

Nigeria is not ripe for state police. Governors will abuse it to the extent people will start begging to have the current structure back. Time will reveal everything.

This entire write up makes absolutely zero sense, but whatever floats your boat.

This is your go to line when you know you've lost an argument. Every single time. You hate being held accountable.

Dreal1247:
I wish Ned Nwoko was able to come from another political party as a senatorial candidate, it would have been a work over for him. It's only the special grace of God that will make Okowa to access the Nigerian Senate in the coming election. Otherwise, unknown candidate from any political party may clinch the position.

You must be sick. Ned Nwoko cannot defeat Okowa in an election, whether primary or general. Even if Okowa didn't go to APC, he will win regardless of the party he runs either.

Chatinent, which side of the divide are you on?

Team Nvidia or Team AMD?

I'm team Nvidia.

Are there really people that prefer AMD? Like you use both Nvidia and AMD and the person prefer AMD?

AMD chips are terrible man. They can't be compared with Nvidia at all.

I doubt Sowore spends up to 20 days with his wife in a full year....

A40:
I've noticed this is very common amongst my SE brethren. Are you Igbo?

My ex and her family went through hell and back and I keep wondering the father knowing how problematic his relatives are why they are so adamant on going back home when they know that time is coming. In his case lots of money was also spent to keep him alive

I don't see the sentimental value to it, maybe cos I'm not Igbo it just sounds illogical to me that I go into financial crisis over a burial. I would probably follow through on what you were contemplating. I no well rara

I'm not igbo. This nonsense is common in the SS & SE. I had to seriously hold myself from telling somebody fvck it.

Cultures are supposed to evolve, but I don't know what's going on in Nigeria. Stupid customs that have should have no place in this age are being used to drag people. We just like stressing ourselves over useless stuff in this part of the world.

BlueRayDick:
The screenshot below is actually what fuelled my anger. They are talking about zero tolerance to dumping of refuse on roads, but they fail to collect refuse from people's homes despite paying for the service.

Who are they fooling?

The taskforce will be filled with agberos and other bottom barrel supporters by the way. They will use it to compensate them ahead of the general elections in the state next year.

One day we really need to discuss how unnecessarily stressful and annoying burials are in Nigeria.

Frankly, I don't even think it's strictly a Nigerian problem, because I remember Lukaku complaining about the same headaches when trying to bury his father in Ivory Coast, or whichever African country it was.

Africans just seem to love complicating things that should otherwise be simple. We are weighed down by too many useless traditions that have absolutely no place in the 21st century.

When I wanted to bury my dad, the family stressed me to the extent that, at one point, I was thinking of abandoning the whole process. I still hate them till this day for the stress they put me through.

​I hope in the future, people will break away from these so-called cultural norms, they'll have no choice but to bury their dead by themselves without involving the so-called 'family'.

​Both burial and marriage rites need to be simplified instead of the nonsense they're putting people through in the name of culture.

Culture should be changed when it no longer makes sense. If culture can't be changed, why did people stop the killing of twins? Nonsense.

I pity anybody that takes Nigerians serious. Everybody complains about APC online but APC keep winning all the elections in the country. Some people will come here to claim it is rigging, but if by rigging you mean snatching ballot, voter intimidation, or manipulation of results. Nothing like that in general elections.
Na Nigerians dey carry their hand vote APC!

I always say it that I don't blame these celebs and actors that work with the present gov. When people abuse them online, I just laugh.

Anybody fighting for Nigerians is a fool, the people you're fighting for don't want to be liberated. Fight for your pocket, in the end that's what really matters in this extremely money-concious society.

When Nigerians are ready to liberate themselves they won't need anybody to liberate them.

If APC give you contract, accept am with your full chest. If you like derive yourself off opportunities because you want to claim to have conscience or morality, na the same Nigerians go laugh you later.

Kaczynski:
Too many white elephant projects in this turdworld.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-01/transcorp-energy-plans-nigeria-s-first-nuclear-power-plants

You're right. It's probably a white elephant project.

How much is transcorp worth? A nuclear power plant will cost nothing less than $5b to make as of today.

Transcorp doesn't have the capacity to carry out such project on their own, unless it is a collaboration with the FG,or a partnership with bigger firms, even at that it'll never materialize. Power projects in Nigeria are mostly just to siphone money with no reliable product to show for the wasted funds.

Where she hail from in Nigeria, they would never allow someone not an indigene to be LGA chairman ( the equivalent of Mayor).

MorataFC:
I think CAF should adopt the CONMEBOL style World Cup qualification format, with all teams playing in a league system and the top teams qualifying automatically. That way, Africa’s 10 strongest teams would earn their places at the World Cup. If this format were in place, I doubt Nigeria would miss out on qualification.

Why are you guys always sounding like Nigeria ever does anything meaningful when they manage to make the world cup? They always place nonsense, are you people eager to watch such?

Una patriotism far oh.

Lol.

Amoto94:
Rodrigo Duterte the former president of Philippines is in UN Detention Unit despite fighting drug cartels to a standstill over human rights abuses. His people voted him as Mayor of the city of Davao in absential but he's in Hague

That is the problem of the Philippines.
Netanyahu, Putin are others are wanted in same hague but they're chilling in their countries.

Hague can only do stuff if your country hands you over. There are many former leaders who were declared wanted by the ICC that their countries refused to release. Nothing happened.

From my observation, the only people that get picked up are people that get succeeded by individuals hostile to them. If duterte was in good terms with his successor, they wouldn't have handed him over.

Damning with faint praise. I wonder if rema even understands the insult they just sent his way. Billboard has in effect labelled Rema's music career dead. They are saying they expect nothing of significance to come from him anymore. That's brutal.

They've passed judgement on his career.
