Take each day as it comes. Don't overthink things that you can't control. Work hard but work smart. Always save for the rainy days.

And lastly, be humble in success. Life is in seasons.

Cycle of hate would almost never end. If I had a loved one that ended this way without any show of concern from those in charge. What's stopping me from being a terrorist when the time is right?

tunix01:
it was the only grammatical errors you guys have been looking about . Don't transgress your frustration on other people's joy . if you want to correct people go to school where you are needed Kwanu!!!!

This is why we are currently a backward nation. Someone makes a mistake, was corrected, he did not pick offense, but you are angry on his behalf.

You have a Master's degree and still type "am currently". Na wa

I saw a script writing job offer on nairaland. I messaged the guy and he gave a script to write.

It was 5500 words and the agreement was #1.5 per word. I sent him the script and promised to go through it.

3 days later he sent me another job to do , even though he had not paid for the previous job.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to meet up with the deadline. I explained things to him and he was not happy.

This morning I asked for the payment of the job I did and his response was "The work wey you spoil, use am do payment".

Am I still in the right to ask for my payment,?

If yes what is the way forward?

You were cheated out of your payment. Writing gigs are paid on a project basis, you completed one to a satisfactory level and following that deserve to be fully paid. He's showing tendencies of being a scammer.

This practice of displaying a dead body in a life-like pose at a funeral is also done in Haiti and some other countries, not only here in Africa

And Haiti is the country you want to emulate?

Two days, thread still in it's 2nd page. There's no doubt that NL fosters tribal bias. Useless site.

So she would have waited 22 more years to finally get married to you?

qtguru:
Comparing in a inflated currency will always make the naira equivalent seem cheaper, but school fees is free, and you have access to the US and other countries without applying for visa, that's a plus.

Sure everything has both sides to it. I personally don't see access to those countries as a plus, you are free to have a contrary opinion. What I find annoying is when, people share negative experiences about their japa situation. You see all sorts of people insulting them, converting dollar to naira, and talking about things that are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

If you really want to japa, I don't think people sharing their experiences would be enough reasons for you not to.

wirinet:
Uno tell am say N400,000 (which today is less that $400) no go pay rent for one room self contain in one month.

Common to pay $800 for a year in two bedroom apartment in Lagos, they would be crying. You go abroad and pay x2 of that monthly.

The people that even annoy me the most are those that scream Healthcare. You have never been sick for the last 5 years but scream Healthcare at every opportunity. You would soon get what you are looking for.

I need Redmi note 8 screen and battery. How much is it?

I need an engineer that can fix a Redmi Note 8. The phone went missing for like four months now. Appaz, it was somewhere but I couldn't find it. Screen was bad before it went missing. Battery is swollen too, but when I connected a charger it was blinking on top like it does when it is charging.

I want to fix it tomorrow. Location is Lagos, anywhere on the mainland is preferable.

Ekugbeh:
😂😂 why you de cry nau.

I also cried when I noticed that at 40, you can't comprehend a simple adage like "Rome wasn't built in a day".

I expect something incoherent from you where you would be insulting your parents and what-not. I definitely won't reply to such childish banters.

Just because I am feeling generous, I would explain what the adage means. Basically means when you are somewhere, you should behave the way the people there do. In relation to OP's case, as a Nigerian he should know rejecting gifts especially from a potential inlaw is counter productive. If you look at his basis of rejecting, makes it all the more senseless.

You don't need to thank me for the lecture.

seborrhic:
Rubbish post.
Just repeating the same thing over and over without any hard fact or breakdown on how the result can help the Eagles.
Don't expect anything less from a blog.
Everyone is now a blogger,even secondary school drop outs.

I thought that I was the only one that noticed. Almost every single paragraph were talking about the same thing. There was nothing unique or at least any analysis how who we face next and what kind of results we should be looking at.

Piss poor.

Maks27:
You made absolutely NO sense
I updated it to the latest iOS as someone suggested on Reddit and the line is gone when I woke up this morning. It’s so sad Nairaland is now filled with clout chasers and people desperately trying to be noticed
Four comments on my post and not one single person said a reasonable thing

Seun I think you can see what has become of your forum

Smells like you were the one looking for clout though. You posted a problem here by 4am, by 6am you somehow already had a solution from Reddit. Why are you so angry that Nairaland couldn't provide a solution to your problem in just two hours? You expect people to stay up waiting for you to bring a problem that they would fix?

It has been resolved, good for you, move on, and stop looking for nonsense likes.

Klass99:
Seven blessings! Like you I share the same sentiments, I read the original post and wondered why this should be an issue for his girl and her people. In my opinion the OP did nothing wrong by declining the gift of store-bought bread. If it was a gift of home baked bread, home baked cake or home-made yoghurt, kunu, palmwine, or fresh farm produce (yams, fruits etc) e for make sense die NOT store bought bread for goodness' sake.

Please who gives store bought bread as a parting gift to a visitor who came visiting for a few hours? Is it not the person visiting a household that buys bread for that household? In place of bread the OP got something else which is very commendable. @ PuzzyNegro this your username sha......I would have declined the bread too because it is an awkward gift and I am not a pretentious woman. If your girl continues to misyarn or misbehave about this, just use silence and distance to recalibrate her brain. Na she and her people go find you come.

You did nothing wrong don't let your friend and others make you feel otherwise. Your in-laws should have been more thoughtful about the sort of gift they wanted to give, this gesture felt like they wanted to impress when there was no need to. The meal they served you, a warm and receptive attitude ought to have made a good impression.

You kept hammering on the fact that the bread is not home made but somehow your brain still couldn't process the fact that the "biscuits and juice" he gave them was not homebased. The way some of you reason should be studied. Instead of you calling out the OP for what he is, you are trying to justify his stupidity with a one-sided analysis.

I am not surprised though, you have always thrived on controversy.

Crazy year.

I lost money that I never imagined that I could have ever had this year, still repaying a significant portion.

I got promoted at work. And I became a chartered accountant. Not where I am supposed to be, but we go again

Lomprico2:
You for still collect am politely. But e get as e be sha!

The gift get as he be? Nigga gave his inlaws biscuits and juice on a first visit. If that's not gross stupidity, I wonder what it is.

PuZZyNegro:
It's not about it being local or little. The Bread was gotten from Market Square super market. I just find it awkward giving bread to your son-in-law to be on the first meeting.

Gifts are symbolic you know.

Gifts are symbolic but you gave your potential in-laws biscuit and mineral on your first visit. You lack basic etiquette and an understanding of what emotional intelligence is. You should work on yourself before you think of marriage because with this kind of attitude, it is dead on arrival. If you like take heed, that's your problem.

Albertone:
This is a proof that you don't know the bible.

1. You didn't even complete the verse.

2. Paul was writing to the church at Ephesus. Submission in the context of a christian relationship(christian brothers and sisters) includes the idea of putting someone else, and their needs, above ourselves.

3. We are talking about submission between married couples and Paul expressly stated that wives should submit to their husbands in Ephesians 5:22-24

I like this. A man that knows his stuff and of course she changed gears. Good one

I will still ring you up when it hits 2k plus and you will still say I am looking for cheap likes when it does

Till then.

yahoodetector:
When I said it last week that the Naira will definitely fall further, these jokers (samsard and Trojan8) were busy arguing and saying I am not an investor.

APC Government is very predictable and anyone waiting for anything positive from them is living in Utopia.

I have shored up dollars and waiting for N2000+


Would have shored up more only say dollars scarce now apart from passive online income.

Athena6...hope you are seeing this?

You are quoting me when it is not up to a #2,000. Take your time to read everything I wrote on the thread. I clearly maintained the uptick was in the short term but I still would not agree to your projection of #2,000 by December. Until that happens, stop quoting me looking for cheap likes. God bless you.

Tohmey:
Chai! You have make greatest mistake by selling off your $$, nothing have been putting place dollar heading back to 1,500 and by 2027 it will be 2,500 to 3,000

So she should lock up funds till 2027? The way some of you reason sha

pipnator00:
Dude you are chatting AIR.

Like I wrote in my first comment, Nigeria's problem is lack of (enough) FX supply. Until that improves, Nigeria will continue to suffer the consequences (fall of the Niara).

The Oil swap isn't a bad deal, neither is whether Buhari or Tinubu initiated it rather the issue with is that Nigeria owes oil majors Co. a backlog of oil from the deal which it is yet to fulfil and that will in turn will affect the supply of FX to the Nigerian economy.

Abeg don't drag me into you, Buhari/Tinubu/Obi/APC/PDP/Labour talk as I see that's where this is headed and don't quote me again.

FYI, this is my last response to you!

Clown, who's dragging you into talks about politicians. You said we have oil obligations to fulfill that Buhari signed. And I was telling you that oil contracts are made that way. As long as Nigeria keeps producing, then in reality Tinubu has not lost anything in the form of revenue because more future swaps would be signed to provide revenue now.

If you still don't understand this, then it's clearly a waste of time.

pipnator00:
I didn't write it was a bad deal, rather I wrote that Nigeria owes over $3billion from the swap which in turn will affect fx generation.
Next time when you read, understand too!

What are you saying? Same way Buhari made some, Tinubu has also made some. It's an almost perpetual cycle, so in reality there's no income lost to the present administration.

There's nothing to read and understand in what you said. Learn and stop trying to be stubborn, you won't die if you admit that you didn't know.

pipnator00:
Also, you must have heard about the Buhari Oil Futures swap deal with major oil companies around the world. At the moment Nigeria owes over 3billion dollars in oil to that deal.

Oil swaps are normal thing. You think oil are prices are determined on a day to day basis. You sign long term contracts to deliver oil at a certain price and quantity which is basically what future swaps are. In as much as I don't like Buhari, doesn't mean he is the first or would be the last to sign future swaps. That's how the oil market works.

yahoodetector:
You are not an investor!

The naira will fall horribly this December at close to N2,000 per $ (I can bet my 2 kidneys to it). Be steadfast.

When BTC was falling, impatient peeps like you cashed out with losses but instead, I put my investments on the stable coin USDT...then one day, the BTC began to soar high and I smiled.

Can we place a bet on this? I don't need your kidney, just play around with a few naira. I hate it when I see comments like this that are not backed with any knowledge just vibes and Insha Allah.

For those that cover the FX market, you would know we are in for further appreciation of the naira. FG got $7bn from the securitization of NLNG dividend with naira. Also, made a few dollar swap contracts in recent weeks.

Meanwhile as other people have said on this thread, the refineries when they start working would bring the much needed relief in the FX market. Your best bet is to sell your dollar holdings except you want to hold for a long time, say a year. Aside that in the short term sell. I told those around me on Wednesday morning to sell all dollar holdings that same day. Naira appreciated about #100 before the end of that day as the FG was clearing backlogs in various banks.

You have been warned.

Dial * # * # 86583 # * # *(Without the spaces). After that, the message " VoLTE Carrier check was disabled " will appear, thus activating VoLTE on our Xiaomi.
Next we will go to Settings> SIM cards and mobile networks
Once inside we will activate the option Use VoLTE .
If our Xiaomi is a Dual SIM smartphone, the VoLTE option will be found in Settings> SIM cards and mobile networks> SIM1 / SIM2.

This worked on my Airtel line effortlessly. Thank you
