Don't rent weeding gown, so that if anything goes wrong you will know where your problem is coming from. (May your marriage be blessed and nothing will go wrong )

It's too spiritual to wear someone else's sweat not to talk of weeding cloth. If your are not buoyant enough, postpone it or don't wear wedding gown at all

I shake my head.
Op,
Please be mindful of advise from bachelors concerning this topic.

budaatum:
I think you are "the person not reasoning properly, or you at least want us to not reason properly, because I can't see where you are telling us the wedding dress she wants to sew for herself cost a "lot more money" than the ₦50, 000 you offered her.

That said, and even if it does cost a lot more money, she might be sewing her wedding dress to advertise her skills and make a lot more money, which would make a lot of sense to an entrepreneurially minded future husband that you might be.

Do you jump into all topics without going through it because I can’t find any sense in this your write up

Very foolish post. At 25 you're getting BP of other people success. What will you do at 35 if things aren't working for you. Oga you're just starting life and failure is a must for your growth and stability.

You just said it all.
At 25 that I just finished NYSC fresh fresh, Wetin I wan think then

We learn good lessons from both. And, you can never over emphasise the importance of schooling.

School thought me, I should study my books hard, graduate with good grades I will see myself working in a good office with AC.

Poverty opened my eyes to, if l start small, l could still see myself chilling in a good office with AC while I still employ school graduates.

Poverty adviced me to remove shame hit the street and I thank God I followed the advice.

OG!

Its not terrible to go back to Nigeria with 80m.
There are banks that offer as much as 20% interest on fixed deposit.
He will not be the wealthiest around, but if he can stay contented, he will live comfortably with peace of mind.

Bank that offers 20% monthly or yearly?
20% of 80M is 16M
Can you tell me the bank so that I will see what to do to stop hustling

Even in a country where everybody are making it, someone somewhere is not still making it

buttlover:
Unless I no c work that I can save at least 1000$ per month. I can't stay more than 5 years in abroad. If I save up to 80m, I'm good to come back home

80M for Eba abi Ewedu?

Maj196:
The best advice I can give anyone is find a way to earn in $ from Nigeria and enjoy. If you want to travel just go for vacation and come back.

Life doesn’t end in Nigeria bro after making money in Nigeria, you will still come abroad to live the best of life and to also make use of the best facilities and technology life can offer.

I no go lie for you brother

That's why there's a saying:

I have officially lost whatever tiny fragment of respect I once had for wizkid. He even lacks the self awareness to know how odd it looks that he's still calling himself a kid at the age of 35.

Is Wizkid 35?

I applied for a business visit visa in October 2025 for a travel scheduled for November 2025 (my trip was 7 days in total - 9th to 15th November). I was issued a 3 months visa within 20 days after I submitted at VFS Abuja

You should be able to get an appointment within a month. All relevant information is at https://visa.vfsglobal.com/nga/en/jpn/apply-visa

Just to mention, I booked an appointment on the VFS website, but the date I got was closer to my travel date so I had to request for a manual appointment by emailing info.japannigeria@vfshelpline.com I got a response and an appointment for the following day.

I hope this information helps.

Thanks so much for this information brother but hope you won’t mind updating us on the documents you submitted and if tax clearance certificate is necessary.
Thanks

Does it mean that we don’t have fire service in this country and other workers meant for a situation like this?
Even if fire service missed the first day, is one day not enough to fetch water and get fully equipped?

I have seen news of such happening in other countries and also the effort their various governments put to ensure the safety of their people even their news stations and journalists will be pushing them to the world but ours, I found them so unserious about this.

If government can not rescue people being trapped in a place that is not inside forest or cave but on a major road/street… Meen all men for theirselves in this country.

Not saying archiving one's goal isn't good but sometimes when e don pass e, e simply don pass. shay na for 81 years him wan carry cert go find work .... if you check you must find see a younger relative of his that needed this education more but Baba said no i must see the four corner.

modified:---

for those quoting me abeg apply common sense...for example my dream car is Ferrari or Lamborghini.. and i wasn't able to get it and drive it in my 30s,40,or even manageably 50, then in my 70s or 80s after retirement and pension I'm able to save and buy it abeg which waist i wan use dey bend enter drive Ferrari? money way i go stand next generation.. No be say the baba don dey go school since him 20s,30s,40s,or 50s way go make you think his aiming higher and acquiring more knowledge.. na for late 60s baba start, abi him no pay school fees ni? person way sleep go wan wound for class and some one get mind dey tell me say the VC go provide job for the relative... instead of to push younger ones to grow and impact others..

MBA to integrate into business world and attain some height in entrepreneurship adviced by his sons and were also assured of smooth sailing by his sons whether he decided to be present for studies or not.

If I become a VC of a higher institution, even my Uncles, Aunties, aged cousins and others that have BSc, I must barge them “Saraa” Masters both maternal and paternal relatives for anybody that shows interest.
If you don’t have BSc don’t worry, just show interest and BSc you will have.
Even if say my papa don die, I go still add him name and graduate him as a ghost student, go him grave go add Engr./Doc./Bar./Pharm before his name, my village people go even surprise.

How else will I help my relatives if not to use what is accessible to me to help them so that I won’t start dashing anybody money?

Baba na your people you go help first.

FRSC blames ‘excessive speed’, ‘wrongful overtaking’ for motor crash involving Anthony Joshua




https://www.thecable.ng/frsc-blames-excessive-speed-wrongful-overtaking-for-motor-crash-involving-anthony-joshua/

Road safety can always come out to defend theirselves, excessive speeding?
How did they know?
Were there cameras around where they saw them speeding?

But I think at this time, they deserve happiness

Does it mean that China is better than Australia and Canada but people are not rushing for it?

Gerrard59:
Then, in this case, she should continue with her job in the federal school while you build capital and expertise. Then apply for a PhD fully prepared with all docs, tests and applications. Application fees should not be a problem. That is where your built-up capital becomes useful.

Australia is better off and within the Asia-Pacific region. In all, na money be the koko. So build up the capital and strike hard when it is time.


This is something I have not written about here, but the car parts/container business I have seen here (I am a member of the Igbo Union in my region) does not look profitable to me and is physically demanding. Without sounding immodest, I can make that kind of money in my family's business back home once I am in full control. Don't get me wrong: there is money, just not the kind of money I want or the kind of money I expected. I have met another man who said there is money doing the same business in China rather than Japan because goods are cheaper, and this is true.

See the new rave behind young people visiting China, even to the factories for goods. You don't have such here, and factory goods are usually cheaper or more affordable for Nigerians. Although goods from Japan have higher quality, but pricing is the issue for Nigerians. The weak yen might help businesses more now than when I got in. Nevertheless, not the kind of money I am interested in.


Your decision to live in either country is your choice, and I respect it.

I so much appreciate your time brother,
Talking about doing business in China and also in Japan.
There are a lot of used cars, electronics and co in Japan, I will say that one of the best means of making money in Japan as a Nigerian is importation of used items especially, used car parts because you sell them in the warehouse (general warehouse that everybody can use), the same day you offloaded your container and all buyers of used car parts pays cash before taking their items out of the warehouse where you offloaded and nothing like selling on credit but China goods are more of new items, new items are not sold in the warehouse except the importer’s personal warehouse or shop and a lot of credit follows because you will need to sample your goods in different peoples shops and outlets until you are fully known not like used car parts that one can sell the same day, cash payment and you don’t need to look for customers because a lot of customers will be in the warehouse searching for containers that are offloading to buy from.

In my opinion,

Nigerians mainly buy used items from Japan and new items from China.

Used items sells immediately with immediate payment because used items don’t have warranty not like new items are not wonderful business to do but everybody knows what they actually want in life.

English dey hard me but I hope you understand
