naijamanyoutube: I took a walk around downtown in São Paulo. Naija people full here. I have a video coming, of a shopping mall filled with Nigerian businesses.
But for now enjoy this one, and let me know what you think about São Paulo.
OP... This topic is quite deep sha... I don't really know fully where you stand, so trying to reason with you on this kind of platform will lead to unwanted arguments.
You only have one life. You know what you want. Go for it!!
A man who cannot meet your needs should not be anywhere around you because he'll only be a stumbling block to your progress and cause you to miss out on great opportunities that would have come your way through those who understand the assignment. Don't ever let such men around you.
I've never been an advocate for starting small with a man after my past experiences even before the economy got this bad not to talk of now that it has plunged deep into meltdown.
A lot of ladies who went into such mess in the early 2000s are still carrying the family till today while the men are struggling to meet up with no headways or hopes in sight. This takes me to the next point.
As a single man still struggling, don't ever brainwash or be brainwashed by any girl to go into marriage and manage with you until things get better. Y'all have seen that e go better has become the prayer of a poor man. So run away from such trap. Make it to a reasonable level first before going for a woman.
I don't want to begin to go into details of the eventualities that may likely occur and become very grave due to inability to tackle them financially. Use your tongue to count your teeth.
I remember a long time ago when I was dating one struggling guy. The aunty asked him a very good question I'll never forget in my life and that taught me a lesson I've been applying in life's situations.
He invited me to come spend the weekend with him that the aunt was around so I could feel relaxed. When I got there and the aunty saw me, she called him aside and asked him the following. You know we are struggling to eat in this house. Your salary is not enough and you brought in a young girl. What if there's an emergency in the course of her stay, what will you do? How will you go about it? When he told me, I became scared and thought the aunt was right. I now remembered one certain time I visited a friend. So that night we strolled out to buy suya. I don't know if it was from the suya paper or the unhygienic environment it was prepared that gave me food poison. That night, I didn't know where I was. Serious stomach cramps and I was just coiling up in the room that day holding my stomach. Again this lawyer guy no get shishi to even take me to the nearest clinic. In his confusion he gave me garlic to chew. That seemed to help a little but omor, I broke up with him.
So, with this few points of mine, I believe iv been able to convince and not confuse you on the need to stay away from a man that cannot cater for your needs.
If you attack me, it shows you're a struggling guy or dating a struggling guy. Una eyes go soon clear. My own don clear tey tey.
Enjoy.
OP, the first part of your post is actually very true... A man should actually be financially stable upto certain extents before having a serious partner... Money is very vital to life... Simple and short. But the part where I'd say you're wrong and also why alot of people commenting are attacking you is when you put it that the man's earnings should be to "meet a woman's needs" (woman way no be him wife, kai)... A guy can assist a girl in several ways, but it is never a guy's calling in life to meet your needs. The girl in question also has to be useful to the guy's life in ways other than just being useful in bed.
You've mentioned the Bible when responding to some people's comments; but even in the same Bible, there are hundreds of instances where a woman played a vital role in a man's success story.
It's as simple as that. If you want a man to be useful to you, you too have to be useful to the man. Life is always give and take.
That's my take on this. I don't see the need to throw insults at anybody. I believe we're here to reason together.
Your advice still remains true though; as a young man coming up, it's very important to find all means to stand on your feet financially. Very importanta! So much can not be achieved without money.
Gambling/Betting is bad when you're doing it wrongly especially when you're blindly addicted. Many make consistent profit out of it by treating it as a business.
But you see VIRTUAL?!! Kai! I wouldn't advice my enemy to be hooked on virtual.
It's almost as if it's programmed to always make people cry at the end of the day.
Stay far from virtual guys; it's one of the fastest roads to financial doom!!!
ochibuogwu5: Betting/Gambling: He who is not faithful in small things cannot be faithful in big things. He who cannot take care of what belongs to another person(the money you use for betting whether from your salary/business is an unmerited/grace gift from GOD) who can give him what belongs to him(more grace gifts). Betting is the same thing as gambling no matter the new name we give to it, no matter how many people who has profited from it. It is evil and sinful before God and man. It shows you do not trust God who gave you life *freely* without *you playing betting/gambling* with Him in the heavenly realm before He chose to make you a human being though He chose to create stone, water, trees grasses, snakes, reptiles, goats, cows e.t.c. the same day He created you in your mother's womb. It shows you do not trust God who gave you the *first money you got* before you started playing *betting/gambling* God who created us is definite about each human being purpose on earth even though He prompts us to collaborate with Him in bringing out this *unique purpose and manifestations* however He is not a God of *trial and error* thus Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end"
Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations"
Isaiah 45:18 "For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, *He created it not in vain*, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. 45:19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: *I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain*: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right."
Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."
In *betting/gambling* people rub Peter to pay Paul; 100 people pays #100 to win 1-game(#1,000) at the end of the game 1-person is given the #1,000 (10-times his/her income which is fraud in genuine business; a genuine child of God is not expected to make 100% of his income rather a reasonable profit above his *cost-price*) While the owner of the system takes #9,000 While the remaining 99 people goes home with nothing, some people said but they are not complaining however somebody needs to tell them the truth just like those wasting their lives in prostitution, adultery, fornication, lies, bribery and corruption, forgery-of-certificates, impersonation, examination mal-practices, abortion, betrayals, back-biting, kidnapping, armed-robbery, assassination, sins, homosexuality, lesbianism, sugar-daddy/mummy, surrogates, runz girls//boys, unbelief, hopelessness, fake-prophets/prophetess(man/woman-of-god) e.t.c. are doing with the life and resources God of unmerited favours (Grace) has given out to all human being.
Engage in tangible business or employment where you can receive a tangible products and services that is *morally permissible* which you can sell with profits even if economy does not flow well, you will sell at cost price and get back your *initial-capital* For services that are *morally justifiable* at least you have the choice of bargaining what you will be paid at the end of each month and when you are not paid, you file a legal proceedings against such institution/company/organizations.
Haggai 2:8 "The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts."
Isaiah 40:29 "He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
"Remember that it was, I the Lord who giveth thee power to make wealth" (Deuteronomy 8:18)
2 Corinthians 9:8 "And *God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work*: 9:9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever." Philippians 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Stop trying to join *anybody to do what he/she is doing and get wealth from it* You will not succeed in what others are doing, you will only succeed in what God has designed *only for you to do in this world/universe/generation* Before you get into that endeavour/job/business/career designed for you, you need to surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ Crucified on the Cross of Calvary to *restore humanity to its original glory* Thus Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
Matthew 11:28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Mark 1:14 "Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: *repent ye, and believe the gospel.*"
Acts 4:10 "Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, *that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole*. 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 4:12 *Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.*"
Great Grace Brethren!!!
Of all this; all you're saying is that God owns this life and everything in it, which is undoubtedly true: and that we should trust in him to provide for us whatever we need: You failed to point out or mention anywhere in the Bible where gambling/betting was condemned just as we have citations where we were asked to abstain from different other sins
The OP of this thread, sells games to people and request for his percentage after you win, which you guys say his games are fake
Well, I was contacted by someone too, but he didn't offer to sell me games.... He wants to give me games (for free) of 10-30 odds, for me to stake, and when I win I'll send him 40% of my winning.
Hanz1: It's actually funny that a lot of people are not focusing on this business. This is a profitable business that you don't need lots of money to start.
You can even start with scrap metals in your home, and also get some from your neighbors.
Yes, like any other business, it may seem a bit challenging if you're just starting out. You can read this guide scrap yards near me. Really, It's not so difficult and it makes good decent income.
