...If you survive it.

Well, I hope he had more people close to him that he could open up to. Even if kept from the public before now.

that's for sure..
Na I sure say na only public just de know now

Stephen0mozzy:
Phew! Know why he didn't open up until now?

Because a man is told to be a man to prove that he is a man.

Meanwhile, if you're a big fan of Rambo... You will enjoy this series - King of Tulsa - I think it's a perfect tribute to the living legend - giving him so much macho role even at his age 🤗

you don't just open up everything about you as it's happening...
got to keep some stories to tell Man

Coder2Client:
I’m someone who isn’t ashamed of being single.

I’m 36, and I’ll be 37 in December.

The honest truth is that I’m single. I’m not currently dating anyone. It’s not because I don’t ask women out—I do. But I’m not someone who enjoys talking too much, and sometimes the thought of having to constantly communicate, explain myself, and maintain a relationship feels stressful to me. Maybe that is one of the reasons I have remained single for this long.

My lifestyle is also very regimented. I have a routine that is so predictable that someone can almost tell when I’m at home and when I’m not.

Money is another major issue.

I currently earn ₦200,000 a month before tax, and I don’t have a side hustle at the moment. Sometimes I look at my income and wonder how I’m supposed to build the kind of life people expect from someone approaching 40.

I have even lied about being in a relationship when I know I’m not.

I’ve told people I have two children, even though I have never had children. I did it because I wanted people to stop asking questions and putting pressure on me. But ironically, while trying to escape other people’s expectations, I think I have ended up putting even more pressure on myself.

For a long time, I genuinely enjoyed being single.

The peace was beautiful.

No relationship drama. No constant explanations. No arguments. No pressure.

But lately, that peace is beginning to feel like loneliness.

I miss having someone.

And that is difficult for me to admit.

Another thing about me is that I give up easily on relationships. I can enter a relationship today and, a month later, lose interest and walk away without even properly explaining to the woman why I’m leaving.

I know that isn't a good quality.

My life has also been somewhat of a slow journey.

I started school at 11. I finished secondary school at 22. I completed tertiary education at 32. I started my teaching job earning ₦20,000 a month, and today, at 36, I earn ₦200,000.

You would think that increasing my income would make life easier.

But every time my income increases, inflation seems to move the goalpost.

What used to feel like enough no longer feels like enough.

And then there is friendship.

I have always struggled with keeping friends. Even as a child, I realised I didn't really have a flair for friendship. Today, I honestly don't have anyone I can confidently call my close friend.

I even remember a time when I would give people money just so they would play with me.

Looking back, that hurts.

I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't party. I don't womanise.

At work, I joke around, interact with people and eat good food. From the outside, I probably look like someone who is doing just fine.

But deep down, there is a part of me that genuinely misses being in a relationship.

I can go an entire month without making or receiving a personal phone call. Most of the calls I receive or make are work-related because I’m one of the leaders at my workplace.

Sometimes I wonder how I got here.

I don't think I’m a bad person.

I don't think I’m unattractive.

I don't think I’m incapable of loving someone.

Maybe I just became too comfortable being alone.

Maybe I have built such a structured and independent life that making room for another person now feels difficult.

Or maybe I simply haven't figured out how to balance my personality, finances, career, friendships and relationships.

I don't know.

But lately, being single doesn't feel as peaceful as it used to.

It is starting to feel a little boring.

So I’m genuinely asking:

Are there other men who are like this?

Men in their 30s who don't drink, smoke, party or womanise.

Men who have very few or no close friends.

Men who have become so comfortable being alone that they don't know how to let someone into their lives.

Men who are not necessarily unhappy, but deep down, still miss having someone to come home to.

I’d really like to hear from you.

just say you want pikin but you no want responsibility of being a father or husband's...
you de ask questions you still de give good reasonable explanation to the answers to questions u Askin..

don't think getting married or having kids is a must especially when you are someone that really know what you doing...

and she must be charitable person that understands finances and responsibilities

Diligence:
It makes sense why millions of Nigerians duly elected Mr Peter Obi as President in 2023.

Even people who hate their children's won't vote Tinubu when Mr Peter Obi is on the ballot.

Mr Peter Obi: This time round in 2027 General Elections, millions of Nigerians will vote, protect their votes, elect you as their President & shatter all records in attendance to see you sworn in InshaAllah ✌🏼✌🏼 By The Grace of God. Then a New and Great Nigeria begins.

Vote Obi/Kwankwaso for a functioning system that works for everyone.

Riggers beware lest you lose all locally & globally, which will SPITE both your "noses & eyes" This is a Promise!

as a xhristiann I can't I'll campaign against voting for OK
if a Muslim man can be so confident to take a fellow Muslim man as running mate why not a xtain guy...
I think y'all saying the Muslim ain't good..
if a mm ticket could be possible
the a CC ticket is possible...

reddingtonblack:
You are highly mistaken about so many things and you ended up muddling everything up til it no longer make sense

I dont know anything in Nigeria People dont eat rice, when i was in school many years ago na rice most of at the canteen ordered

You talk about gas, in the 90's 2000 till buhari removed subsidy on kerosene .. Most average Nigerians were on stove kerosene even though gas was cheaper, people wear afraid of gas exploding n All
buh removing subsidy on Kerosene is what forced many to consider buying gas, cos it was the cheaper choice then just like CNG now,

You say okada people are putting their kids in private school, buh that becos of total collapse of public govt schools and mind you private schools get grade for area. in every community there are low end private schools and there are standard private schools for the middle class

Youb say okada people dey stay Self contain, even though i hardly see that, have you looked around how who still dey build face me i face you house, it is fading out most of the face me i slap you property are sold off nd renovated to self con or flats

All the things you pointed out point to the human reaction when the desire is not Available make do with what is available.

Its is highly preposterous to insinuate people are living fake life when " basic" cost like luxury
To cook fish soup now will cost over 10k ..that is fake life abi eat ..mushroom or pick fish head at cold room dustbin to eat abi
To enter transport danfo to work will take 60% of my salary... I should treck from abule egba to maryland so i dont appear as fake life

In my area no public school around, private school around wil cost my 4 month salary .. I should keep my children not to go to school cos its Fake life abi

TO Live the basic now is like luxury you are shoutung people are living fake life

As a student i can run generator 9hrs a day buh now a work to run generator 4hrs because of cost naa Fake life

To eat Titus fish is now is for the wealthy .. If i buy it you tell me fake life something wey i dey buy to feed dogs before apc.

well my environment I used in Makin those instances,,
I'm not giving excuse for government but I talking from experience,,.
as a barber and Keke owner we can live better with what Makin now than with what we Makin then unless you no sew your coat according to your size .
public school right now is way better than government schools back then..
Al example I cited is from my LgA
45% of the town is using line 33 or line 11 so no need for that generator again
my 3 days labour as at 2014 can get me a bed sitter for a month with wooden Windows no tiles normal ceiling,,but now two days labour can get you a well tiled pop bedsitter with good structural Windows

I don't know your job but as things go up so also cost of labour go up
selling one Jean then 3800 after buying from Lagos maybe 2800 your gain Na one k,,you go sell 4 Jean before you go fit make gain to pay for bed sitter

now Jean from Lagos 28k is being sold for 40 to 45k
selling only 2 don give you bedsitter money with change ....
I can give you many more instances,,even down to pure water...
it's a very bad kinda inflation both on goods and services,,
many of una don increase una goods ,,una house rent ,una cost of labour,most salaries to be making more than wen you claim life was good and still wanna buy 🐠 for 60naira or rice for 6k a bag..
..
unless you nor sew your coat according to your size I believe whatever you Makin now is affording way better stuffs than before wen una de think say Na country better...
it has never been better
and no use wen you de school wen them de pay it bills take compare..go ask your parents how it was
as at 1991 my papa de use Gas for face me I face you,,
as at 1993 my grand mother was using Mercedes Benz build upstairs
get small farm join,,now everyone Na oil our oil ,,all lands been sold to build Oyibo houses and food no de..

I seen every form of life
,I attended the best private school in the town..and I can tell you almost everyone parents guide,almost all Na house owners senior govt workers,oil workers or big business men ..
that same school right now is still the best but both Okada men oo,,, carpenter,tailors,runs girls(single mothers) who de set block for my site oo all of us kids de the school now,,

I'm not telling you all is well
but people are affording better lives with same job that wasn't able to live better live then
how many people use mechanic (fixing cars )live well

tpain121:
What kind of dirty demonic talk is this ?

You for just read and pass, rather than vomiting this thought from the pit of hell.

Some people thinking sha .

well maybe Na from where you getting what I saying,,
make we sew our coat according to our size..
my Mom had a 504 Piguet,a saw mill, but was sharing public toilet till she completed her upstairs...

who never fit feed well wan live for Lekki
unless you got nothing Doing ,, the cost of living don increase so as cost of labour,, 2011 short time for guest house Na 500 now it's 5k
labour was like 1500 to 2k now is 12k
to cut hair is 100 to 200 naira now is 3k
bed sitter rent is 4k now is 25k... even now the bedsitter is Standard....

way back then Na escravos workers them de fit afford bedsitter
now even Okada men de stay self-contained...
eating Rice was a big deal as the time y'all thinking the country was better,,
kids going to private schools was a big deal
now even Okada man and that big man for area Na same private school Everyone kids de attend now...
how many persons was using cooking Gas then as cheap as it was..
who de mud house now wan use Gas
2008 BSC fees for uniben wasn't up to 12k.
but many persons dropped out cos of fees..
9ja has never been better and will keep getting worse wen y'all not sew your coat according to Ur size...
full 9ja Na fake life

Validated:
Atiku should respect the unwritten Nigeria zoning formula and support Peter Obi to oust Tinubu, a monumental failure.

We need frugal presidency to pull Nigeria out of the doldrums that Buhari and Tinubu carelessly dragged us into.

Nigeria is now a laughing stock in the commity of nations. Our president cannot attend UNGA because of the fear of being arrested for heroine offenses.

that was how you people chased Jonathan away Ooo...

Racoon:
In essence even a monthly salary of 500k will not suffice for an average worker to have a saving? Big amount worthless value.

our standard of living don too high ..
truth be told
was back then as rich as many people them see car as luxury, even TVs, even generator, some govt workers receiving well was living in houses with public toilets...
people send kids to government schools,...
our taste is high and the country can't sustain our living...

fredoooooo:
The society has turn our men to weak men ..
It's your choice as a man to accept it or reject and rebuke it ..

its lack of funds
you can't wanna be wen kids that didn't ask you to birth them Thier needs are loaded facing you...
a man with funds will do all and even more and still care for himself..
but wen funds never fit comfortably pay your rent and kids school fees,, all these ye ye post is not for you,, no allow any deceive you or make you go suffer innocent kids and. girl wen no force you to marry and start birthing

helinues:
Whose products are those politicians? Which community has been recycling the set of politicians it produces?

abeg leave that one
keep using bad politicians as excuse..
everyone wan live like Yankee
land wen them go use plant something healthy they rather rent am out give car wash for 3500 naira monthly ...

as rich as my grandmother was she got plantations, yam, bananas, pear, coconut pineapple for back of her house,, land is about 20 by 120 ,, poultry sef de her sawmill,, all for consumption apart from the birds during December sales..

and way back then about 30% of citizens had such, both rich and poor, even the Poor had more larger farms
go check now those lands already been sold by kids .. or grand kids,,

ppogba:
Unfortunately, those that paid more for their kids from JSS 1 to SSS3 are now the ones that wants to pay the N27,000 they Paid in 1982 for their children in UNILAG, OAU and UNN nowadays.

Illogical illogicality.

the bottom line is get something doing...
wen inflation comes Ur prince definitely gonna go up..
2015 I was receiving 2k daily for labourer..
and my bed sitter with ceiling ,wooden windows was 4k monthly no light ,no tiles

now that same job labour is paying 12k daily and a better pop bedsitrer with water heater and tiles well fenced compound is 25k monthly at most 30k for the ones wen get free WiFi and pre paid plus band A or B light .....

bottom line is just something doing..

there's money
our president is releasing money
we are working
indigenes re beiNg employed through our massive work
according to gov Sherrief the best and working governor

going to the University is way cheaper than these fine painted primary school with Thier unqualified teachers...
imagine paying over 120k each for 3 terms.....
if you can afford private nursery or primary school for your 5yr old,..
higher institution Na rat

omoredia:
So because the devil offers u money u just move to his side? U forget that there is always a catch. At the end it's more than just football these people need u to bow down to the devil

for 2026? bro
nna ehh
shuu

2036 we'll be begging for 1500 naira fuel
the next thief go frustrate men sote men go begin think say Tinubu better...
I remember us crying that 350naira fuel Na die
now we settling or rather begging for 500naira

manmade:
he is right, there is noticable improvement in electricity supply to some areas, for instance I'm enjoying 24hrs supply here in my area for the past 3 months and still counting

its been like that for over 9months in more than 35% of my LGA really with almost more than that% already on prepaid meters

Thewrath:
Electricity can still be subsidized,our govt over here are just so wasteful not like the money is not there….even the fuel subsidy they removed,there are persons still benefit and diverting part or most of the funds saved from it.

subsidising the electricity is directly proportional to unavailability of it...
I don't know if there's really funds in the country cos with he type of debts and borrowing we experiencing,, don't think it's realistically right to say 9ja get Money

Thewrath:
No,having light without being able to afford it like fuel is better!

Until we learn to drag our leaders for our right instead of following shortcuts,we won’t learn.

light is not cheap
even here in Ghana
we cry Ghana and Benin keep having light is cos they pay well for it
even with what band A is paying now in 9ja is way cheaper than what we paying here in Ghana, I dare not run AC here Man
...
and don't tell me we produce crap
production ain't cheap
distribution not cheap
what we should be fighting for is for power companies to be responsible for every of Thier equipment,all we got to do is pay bills..

Angelfrost:
Hence, my response below conceding that point earlier.
