MedicH: I don't have a problem helping him, but he has to help himself. I wouldn't be in his situation and rented a two-room apartment. you cannot have 295k as a biz man and be shopping for a house of 430k, for him to have come up with such, speaks volume about the way he thinks. He will not move into the house empty. He will finish the 295k even before the wedding and have nothing left for himself and his wife. I lived in a room apartment for years even when I could afford a flat because I wanted to grow my biz; It's my biz first. That is the way I want him to think. 3 Likes |
Investment / Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by tobaseye: 11:21am On Oct 02, 2019 |
NL1960: This is very correct, especially if you are running a business, you don't have to go and tie-up your capital in one remote area in the name of building a house. I had many friends 10 yrs ago that ran out of capital because of the pressure of having their own house and today they are as poor as anything. One even tried to sell it back so that he could have money to run his business and no buyer. I diversified my fund then instead of building and today I am so liquid that I could remove 5M to 10M off my business without having any liquidity problem. In a nutshell, build up funds first before you bulid to live if you are into business. Also building to live is done gradually with proceeds from the business. 10 Likes |

calgaryFriend: Yes, I am married, my marriage is less than 2yrs though. You hardly think of settling down when you have such responsibilities to carry. Because my marriage is new, I guess my wife is still cool with it. Living too far from his biz location too can add another daily burden on his finances. The cost of transportation from Abule-Egba to Oshodi for example if pooled together will be more than the cost of renting two rooms in Oshodi. (Modify) (Quote) (Report) (Share) |

calgaryFriend: From my own perspective, I know Nigerians are not lazy including my siblings, they worked with me before I left Lagos they are not just as rugged, determined and conservative as I am. I am a crazy saver and I re-invested most of my profit. Also, grace differs, I did biz in an Igbos dominated market and you have got to be rugged to succeed in such an environment. The system has turned able men and women to nonentity. I have been opportune to travel outside the country has seen children from rich home on study visa doing menial jobs back to back, you will wonder if children from rich homes can do this how much more children from the less privileged home. I am only worried about his type of mentality, I would never rent a room and parlour with such money in my account. 3 Likes |

Family / 36, With 295k Acct Bal About To Get Married And Have No Accommodation Yet. by tobaseye: 12:22pm On Sep 25, 2019 |
Hi, guys just want your opinion on this as I don't want to sound harsh. My immediate younger brother is 36 and wants to settle down by next year March. He is a graduate but currently into business as he hasn't been able to secure any job since graduated from University for like 3 to 4 years now. He has been living with me with other younger ones since 2003 in my one-room apartment until I relocated from Lagos and left the room for them while I keep paying the rent till date. The issue now is that he has been searching for accommodation and he wants me to assist him with it. The first one he got was Two-room self-contain 250k per annual, to pay for 2yrs, Which I said No, because I know considering his present condition he would struggle with the rent after the first 2yrs. Though he said he will be able to pay subsequent rents, I don't deceive myself, I know he can't unless a miracle happens. He just informed me that he has got another 2 rooms for 150k p/y to pay for 2yrs and agreement and commission going to 400k. He has asked me for 300k to bear the rest himself. My problem now is that my brother might go bankrupt even before the wedding, judging from the cost ahead of him and his financial capability. NB.. From 2016 still date I have given my brother more than 300k to support his business, but he seems that he keeps cash instead of using all the money to buy goods and he is not that This is the same business I did to send him and three others to higher Institution. The same office (Warehouse) I used, so I know the business is lucrative though not as it was in the last ten years. So, pls what Advice can I give my brother and for how long will I continue to take this hung responsibility of his? We are seven from our parent, I am the third. Our parents are not active anymore so we are responsible for their upkeep. I can understand the situation in the country at the moment but these are responsibilities I have taken up since 2001 and want to get them off my neck. I hustle well but I haven't really enjoyed money myself because of all these responsibilities. Built house for my parents, I haven't even built my own just left it at foundation level, even car I didn't buy but could afford it ever since 2005. I have really seen and experienced poverty while growing up the more reason am not living a flamboyant lifestyle. Pls, I need advice as I don't want to sound harsh to him because If I were him, I would marry in a room and add the money to my business and when my business grows I will go for a bigger accommodation. But it seems we are not thinking the same way. Even the room I left is bigger than 12:12 in size and only share toilet, bathroom and kitchen with just one tenant. He currently lives there with our last born (doing great in the same business) and two of their friends. I can ask them to vacant the room for him. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Hi Oga Op and other gurus in the house, please I need help on this issue. There is this girl I met January last year and just some few weeks after, I told her about my feeling without building attraction with her first. So her reply was "It can't work" she didn't give me any reason though I asked her through phone because we don't live in the same state. I was able to contact a close friend of hers and she told me that she was engaged planning to get married in few months, this was February last year. Because of this information, I backed out but we still chat casually occasionally. Just January this year, she sent me a message that I didn't inform her about my sister's wedding and I told her that I thought she was aware of it. And she said that she wouldn't be able to attend because of distance. Fast forward early this month I called her and she told me she was in Abuja and I was travelling to Minna via Abuja in few days, so I told her that when I get to Abuja I will ring her up. I met with her in Abuja and while we were discussing she used style asked about my wife, girlfriend and Fiancee and I said I don't have any. She told me many things about her family and why she was in Abuja. She also told me that she lives with her uncle with two other female cousins single in their 40s. She said that her two cousins usually give her tough time at home and they go to the extent of saying it to her face that nobody will marry her. She said they had never for once asked her "when are u bringing ur man home" that it seemed they were praying for her to stay single just like them. So my question is, Is she showing me some green light? I still like her really. Should I ask her out or I should build more attraction with her first before asking her out? And now If I have to ask her out I can only do it via the phone because of our different location. Thanks |

So sorry to hear this. I think the issues is that he might not like what he eventually saw physically and that is one of the major problems in online dating. My advice to you is to pick up yourself and move on if he is not forthcoming and try and spend money on yourself. Get back to school, you can go for part-time. Add value to yourself. You can't be seeing ur siblings through school why you are out of school. I did the same thing for my siblings but while they were in full time I was doing parttime and also writing a professional exam. All is history today. You are a woman spend money on yourself. Good Luck. 1 Like |

Religion / Re: Nigerian Mega-rich Pastors Living In Million Pound Homes Prey On Believers - UK by tobaseye: 10:57am On Jan 08, 2018 |
Wetin be my own let them keep given their money to businessmen called pastors. The problem is not about the Govt it's about the people, although lack of basic amenities from govt is what is making people run after miracles. Even in the UK these black pastors still manipulate the system to their advantage this is why you will hardly see while people attending their churches. Apart from the regular money they collect from the congregation, the UK government will still give the 25% of their total annual income every year as Gift Aid. So the more they get from their members the higher they get from govt. Ask them what they use the money for.... Only God will judge them. |

Pierohandsome: You have to obey God rather than men but how do you obey God when you dishonored the head God has placed over you. It is only in African churches you see something like this. It's been stressed time without number that you don't have to bribe God before you receive from Him. The only God requires from us is our heart. Some of us are so deep in our sins yet will give in the church thinking will are giving to God. She didn't inform her husband about it at all. God can't accept such a seed. Let her tell the husband first and if he refuses then she can now decide on what to do. To me, you can't disobey your head to please God unless the man asks you to sin against God which you have to refuse outrightly. 1 Like |

KushyKush: The truth is that majority of the houses being demolished are not entitled to compensation because if they had done the needful before buying and building a house they would have been told if the land is free from govt acquisition or not and that would have saved themselves from this big yawa as well. But we put sentiment to everything, though govt is failing on its own part too. 6 Likes 1 Share |

KushyKush: Government is not doing enough too. They wait for people to build houses only for them to come and demolish it. They are supposed to sensitize people especially when they find out that people are moving into land that belongs to the govt. People too on their own part should do a proper investigation of the land such as carrying out the survey plan of the land before they buy any land, this will save them from issues like this. It's not a good experience at all. my parents house was also demolished sometime around 2004 at aboru abule egba side of lagos. 3 Likes |
