Lols, even alfa dey eat pig and dog,
To buy kilo of pig is now 6k

I actually found it somewhat surprising to read about people seeing pork as a more affordable alternative to beef and chicken. I think it used to be more expensive than those when I was younger - recalling how older people like my mum treated it.

Could someone knowledgeable about this matter share their thoughts, please?

Experienced real estate people, please I'd like to know if it's necessary to erect corner markers (I mean the so-called cornerpiece) for a piece of land bought in a proposed estate marketed by a real estate company.

I was thinking: if there's already a survey plan, shouldn't that be enough when one is finally ready to build?

Also, the corner markers could collapse after some time.

Please let me know your thoughts on this. Anyone?

Find a business organization to serve. I. e serve for six months from the seventh month earn 80-120k per month. We have many of these jobs in the agricultural sector. You grow the business together the first seven months and from the seventh month, you'd begin to enjoy the reward of your contribution

Could you elaborate more on this? What are the specific jobs and how does someone get them?

Unfourtwonate:
I am not up to 30 but I am already experiencing all this
I can leave my phone for 10 yrs without receiving a single call
I can die of hunger without anyone noticing

This right here is somewhat like me, but I am a much older male.

Most people only remember you when they need you for something. And I find that quite annoying! I'd be like (to myself): Why can't you just leave me alone altogether?

wumi2017:
I'm single and ready for serious relationship

This your username looks familiar from years ago. I probably had your number until recently.

frozen70:
Moving to a place where you know no one, is a big risk.
But if you can afford to lodge in a hotel then go about your search for either job or anything

Then you came prepared

Personal security is at the top of that risk concern. The rest is just about how I will fit in in such a place.

That's a good piece of advice about lodging in a hotel, though. I can afford that, especially since luxury won't be a priority for me. Thanks.

RealityKings1:
It's always very difficult at the start because no one wants to hire someone without recommendations. But if you are strong enough, you'll find your feet.

Yeah, I agree.

But getting a job is not even my main problem. For now, I may only need one to keep busy in such a new place. Finance will not be the main driver - at least, initially.

I was just wondering what the life would be like in a place where you have no one at all. Like would that be safe for the person? Will it be easy to rent a place to stay? I mean concerns like that about living conditions.

Hello, everyone! I was wondering if anyone reading this has moved to a new state, region, or country where they knew absolutely no one at one time or another.

I would like to know what the experience was like, especially how you were able to get work and accommodation (as a stranger). Plus, how did you spend your lone time?

Your responses will be quite useful if you have this sort of experience. Thanks in anticipation.

isan:
Do you as a person regard people without money ?

Did you know me?

Well, your response pretty much tells me all there's to know about you on this matter.

EmperorIsaac:
500k. Loneliness and being regarded less than a cat or a dog based on skin color is a very steep price to pay!

I feel lonely in Nigeria. Also, most people don't regard you as anything if you no get money. What else?

Skydivine:
But only your one month salary can cover that. Abi they don’t receive up to #200k a month?

For where, as at the last pay increase, a sergeant was earning around 100k - except the individual lied to me sha.

As for people saying the rent was too low, it depends on the apartment. That amount can still pay yearly rent for a room self in Ikorodu (maybe even room and parlour self in some inner parts with some luck), excluding agreement and commission fees though.

See oh Some ladies complain of 1-minute/5-minute men. This one see several hours man dey complain.

This is a good example of why I will never let a woman kill me with her demands. If you are not satisfied, abeg waka.

I have never been a fan, even though I am not yet a parent myself.

If God blesses me with children of my own, I'd prefer to do parenting the "old school" way. And that doesn't mean being beastly to children. Kinda spank and pet with explanation.

The kind of parenting I see these days is annoying. Most parents are not only raising unruly children but also ones that lack proper courtesy. I'd be in a place and see young kids misbehaving; yet, their parents do nothing.

geedot:
Read it on X too last night, and it's so heartbreaking for the dude that fell for that gamble.

One of the biggest red flag is someone who claims to be making money from something, telling people to pay him money to teach them that same thing he claimed to be making money from. What manner of f.uc.kery is that?
Or asking you to bring money so he can make you more and you both share the profit, why can't he just make it all himself?

Day-trading is stressful, time consuming and no serious day trader has that much time at hand to multitask at ease. So when I see people like Habby who claims to day-trade, yet has all the time in the world to run an academy in different parts of the country that he has to show up every month, have signal groups, mentorship etc. Big LOL.

It's unsurprising, wherever money is involved, people tend to lose their sense of reasoning.

The bold part isn't always a red flag; just that it may be one. You have to take other factors into consideration to validate the suspicion.

Education and textbooks weren't/aren't free...well, not always.

Aurelius1:
You just sent money to a scammer. This person's modus operandi is to invoke pity in people while posing as a lady.

Being a lady had little to do with my sending the money. I didn't contact her privately, either before or after.

As I noted around the time, I find it hard these days to give anybody online anything because of how many now abuse people's trust and empathy. But my conviction, in this case, crossed the 50% level.

If I was still wrong, I don't regret it because I was trying to help someone and I thought the help may indeed be needed.

Oldnairalanderb:
Ok but I no longer use this email password problem. Can you chat me here please okolijudith15@gmail.com.
Thank you.

Never mind. I decided it won't be necessary. Just sent my token to your Opay account.

We4all:
How many men are supporting their wives?

With this comment, you're certainly not a man.

Oldnairalanderb:

Opay.
Please where do you stay? Maybe I can manage with you.

Nah...sorry. Your area is too far because I live at the "Ijebu side" of Lagos. BUT the main issue is that I consider it too risky to accommodate someone I don't know (male or female).

As for my 2k, I'd like to see some proof of your story. You may PM me privately if you're not comfortable doing that on this thread.

I didn't mean to stress you for just a token. But I find it difficult to believe people online anymore. Sorry.

santaclaws:
You totally missed the point. When you mention armed robbers, prostitutes, everyone knows they are from a damaged section of society, so that's a no brainer.

My focus is on the parents, mostly millennials, who believe their parents were too harsh while growing up, so they want to change the narrative and be 'nice parents', in the process, they spoil kids beyond repair.

Look at the UNIZIK girl who bit her lecturer, is her mother an armed robber or prostitute? No, she is a lecturer that one would expect to instill morals in other people's children, but see how the daughter turned out.

Sir, I am struggling to understand your emphasis on millennials. This thing cuts across! They're simply part of the overall trend.

For instance, do you think the parents of that Unizik student were millennials?

I dare say most of the parents that I hear not wanting teachers (or anybody) to correct their children seemed to me to be older.

Look at all these corrupt politicians, for example. What morals can they impart in their children? Do they even care? Majority of them are certainly not millennials.

Where do you stay? I go like confirm in person before I part with my 2k.

I hardly respond to online requests for help anymore, but your story is somewhat touching. Many Nigerians have abused people's trust.

I live alone (albeit in a small space), but shey no be to sleep and wake? So, I could have offered to help - at least, for some time. But I consider that risky in today's Nigeria.

Bobodee09:
Like bro...........we call such people " Dugbolugi " in yoruba (mad people wey dey fight tree)

This is funny.

Una don finally designate her a certain way. I understand how you feel about her comments, though.

Your story is somewhat similar to mine. But I didn't dare to get married. I see you're more venturesome than me. I mean you've done businesses, which I don't seem to have a clue about.

But God has been good all these years. I wish you all the best as well, man. Keep pushing.

Travelling with 400k in 2023 to where with such a low amount?

TruthDefender:
She is the daughter of the well-known Poi master Francis Van Lare. US born with Nigerian parents.

The guy is a weakling because he could have easily relocated back to Nigeria and have a great life

You're right.

I stumbled on this link https://www.nairaland.com/3988231/francis-van-lare-amara-van-lare-divorced minutes ago and I remembered I read a story on Facebook today about someone with a similar name, so I searched the forum. Found out it's the same person.

Choose a niche , then you specialize.

Now if you are on jumia, jiji, Facebook marketplace, Telegram etc....#YourBankAccountNaGbagam 🔔


That’s a business that can fetch you 20k daily easily without doing much.

I'd be offering a free consultation from Now up until the end 2025 for those interested starting and scaling a Gadgets & Accessories business.

Boss, how business? Abeg, you still dey offer this free consultation?

I want to see if I have the means and ability to start this business - at least, online for now. Thanks.

OP, I like you. You come across like a focused young man. You have a drive that some of us couldn't boast when at a similar stage.

If I were in your situation as a younger man, I'd go ahead and acquire a "self-employment" skill. Painting is one of those.

After all, the current job is not one you will be doing going forward since you at least have to go for NYSC service. Who knows? You might even get opportunities to earn with the skill during your service year.

gentlekeny:
Remotejobs/extension that I have developed in July, 2024 averages 73k monthly visits. Affiliate promotions and Adsense aside jobadverts alone fetches me like $300 every month.

I like this idea of developing domain names while waiting for a buyer. It can also help for website flipping. But my past experiences with personal blogs weren't encouraging.

Could you please guide me on how you do this, especially with getting traffic/visitors? Please help a brother.

You're the kind of man I am growing to be. Na only the money remain. Life is not all competition.

Kingsasian:
Approximately 120k monthly, just me, my wife and our one year plus kid.

In which state is this, please?

The place of a mother and that of a wife are completely different! May God not let me marry a foolish woman that would make such a demand.

But if the wife dares, I will miss her.

SuperOnyi:





I was born in the 2000s and I witnessed all of these. The way you write off Gen Z is pathetic.

So you spent coins? A classic trait of Gen Z.

Yeah, I believe it's possible to be happy without any of those. If you are in a good position to have them, however, I wouldn't advise that you ignore completely.

I think what's probably more important is to have a purpose in life. Something that you do and feel happy or fulfilled, even if you're not getting paid for it, and so can easily devote your life (or free time) to.

It helps to have a good support system but they may not even be family (in the regular sense). One may also be able to build that support system in the course of fulfilling a purpose, I think.
