nobody can wrestler a good and rich guy from me, we die here..

Lol.
Just remember no one is invincible in this world.
PS there is good number of single rich guys. If you're their type too, they'll notice you.

The same way another madder lady will wrestle that rich guy away from your grasp. Then you will blame the guy.

Slavery mentality.

On the contrary, employees jointly pay the salary of their bosses. Without their input, the boss won't make money. Poor men enrich the rich people.
Suppose all employees of a particular company stopped working for several months, with no none willing to replace them, the bosses will soon start looking for jobs themselves.

The boss employed you because he believes you will contribute far more than what he would ever need to pay you as salary.

Time travel is a phenomena suggested in different ways.
One is to travel to another timeline in the universe. E.g. go back to a past timeline, or go forward into the future. (e.g. Terminator Movie).
Another form is time dilation through space travel. For instance, it is theorized (Einstein) that if you travel at the speed of light for a few minutes, or through a wormhole, hundreds of years might have passed on earth! (e.g. Planet of Apes movie).

Let's get into our story.
At a time on earth, there was a great famine that shook the whole world. Rain ceased for several years. A congress was held, divination was made by the Ifa priest. A sacrifice must be made to Eledumare, the supreme being. But after being prepared, this sacrifice must be taken to heaven by someone.
And that's the problem. It wasn't known if anybody who went to heaven could return back to this world, so nobody wants to carry the sacrifice. Just before all hope was lost, the Vulture volunteered himself. Although he hoped to return, if he didn't, he would have sacrificed himself too.
So the vulture took the sacrifice to heaven - it took him 7 days to get to heaven and present the sacrifice, and another 7 days to travel back. All of the journey was in-between heaven/earth, in the void.
The day he got back to earth, it was raining heavily and he was seriously beaten by rain.
To his dismay, many things have changed, he could not locate his own house. He knocked on several doors, but everyone kept slapping him him on the head and pushing him out back into the rain - no one recognized him, they were disgusted seeing him, he was short, his feathers soaked, dripping wet.

He eventually found himself at the palace. The King and Ifa priest were different people! When he explained himself, they realized he belonged to many generations ahead of that time. His journey of 14 days total was 1,400 years on earth! Apparently, every 1 day of his journey was 100 years on earth!
His legend had been passed generations down, the one who took sacrifice to heaven and never returned. It started raining normally on earth since the day he started his journey into the void. Eledumare answered their prayers the day the vulture departed the earth, and it particularly rained heavily on the anniversary of that day of every year.

Because of this sacrifice, the vulture is considered an untouchable bird in Yoruba culture. You don't kill the vulture. You don't eat the vulture. You don't do appeasement with the vulture. You don't sacrifice the vulture.

The existence of this folktale suggests Africans were not all about religion, but had indigenous science in the past.

Violence.

Most people use what they see on TV to compare, forgetting those are the prettiest of them, along with special make-up on set.

Just like you stay in a public place in Lagos, watching a lot of ladies passing by, all with different levels of beauty, same thing happens if it's a white dominated city. Nothing is special when you see many of them up close.

Don't forget that beauty is mostly subjective.
Two things that might turn off a black man from a white lady:
* Their skin ages much faster, at 40, noticeable wrinkles around the eyes if you look closely.
* When they're slim, hips/butt stay shy. Average weight and there's some belly fat, below the navel. Thick? Don't look at the belly!
* The pale skin colour might look ghostly to you, with bluish/greenish veins underneath (for some).

A white man on the other hand for a black lady:
* Curvy hips, large butts and thick lips might look like a freakshow or caricature.
* Subconsciously, dark skin might not be attractive because dark colours generally mask dirt. It's not racism but basic human psyche.
* Voice. Black people have deeper voice in general. Many black ladies will sound masculine to a white man.

Stating the obvious.

Nigeria is not wired for unseating an incumbent president. The opposition lost the fight on May 29. But never say never, so let's see how it goes...

Going to UK with 3 months baby - that man might not be able to do any full-time jobs for 2-3 years.
Why? Crèches and nurseries are very expensive. If you decide to drop your baby and go to work, the money you'll pay at the crèche will almost match the money you'll make at work. So it's pointless.
At 3 years you get 15 hours weekly free care.

Staying in Nigeria with a 3 months old baby too is not any easy thing. The child will spend its early years in the hands of crèche carers, and will grow up not really knowing its mother.
Besides, that seems like a young family, it's unhealthy to stay that far apart at the moment. Not to mention UK immigration laws might change before the man eventually decides to join her - it could get tough.

They could travel to UK together, the man can take up night jobs a few times a week and/or do weekends, while the wife does day shift. The wife won't be at work 24/7 so they can find a way to work out their schedules.

IkpemhiTG:
Your candid advise is needed...

£30k yearly is not bad for a small family, but with little contribution from the man doing part-time, they will do fine, provided they won't be living in London - that city is damn expensive, and busy like Lagos.

LikeAking:
I won't insult or talk down on you.
Time will prove me wrong or right..
U guys always argue with too much emotions.

Who are the "you guys"? Why do you think I'm one of "you guys"? Kindly clarify.
Maybe that prejudice is not making you to see my point.

LikeAking:
U guys lack exposure..
U are too emotional..
Typical Nigerians..
Think...

LikeAking:
You don forget say students loan dey?
What do you mean by students will pay millions yearly..
Most of you don't have forsight, it's just emotions..
I have told you what will happen.
If you want to argue, let's bet on it.
You guys just lack intelligence..
Your type will argue that $1 will not be equal to 810 Naira when Tinubu floated the Naira..
What do you babies know.

Now I'm convinced you're unexposed.
Do you know how costly it is to maintain a university? Did you know the meaning of the overhead I mentioned earlier? When you have understanding of those, you will see why total university autonomy in Nigeria will make you pay 7 digits for your education yearly.

Don't even mention foreign exchange, you don't sound like you know anything about that.

LikeAking:
Think before you talk..

Second, the feeble standards of many govt universities will make people to switch to the private ones when the costs are within the same range.

You think the private uni have higher standards..
You are not exposed.
Most of these private unis in Nigeria borrow quality lecture's from govt uni.. Go and investigate..
They have unqualified lecture's private uni..
You guys are just carried away by the private uni thing....
Typical Nigerian thing..

The private schools borrow your public lecturers to deliver quality teaching, the same lecturers who frustrate your efforts in govt uni.
So this is the only point you picked out.
Did you know Covenant University usually takes top 3 in Nigeria, dragging with UI and Unilag? Landmark is in top 10, while Babcock and Bowen are not far behind.
Did you ever attend any university? Please talk like you did. You would know the challenges students face, and why private schools might be a better choice for some people.

You should also find the meaning of the word "feeble", to understand what I said.

compton11:
love equally means don't be hypocrite and partial when it comes to those wives

It's a great responsibility then.
Thanks for clarifying.

Nonsense!

The first thing you should know is that, when FG completely removes funding from its universities, students will pay a few millions yearly, maybe even higher than private universities because govt schools have huge overheads that private schools don't have.

Second, the feeble standards of many govt universities will make people to switch to the private ones when the costs are within the same range.

Third, students will look more into universities abroad with higher standards and better global rating - Ghana, South Africa, Egypt, Eastern Europe, etc. where their schooling is not as costly as UK, Canada and co.

compton11:
another one will still complaining of getting less gbola and affection

Hmmm. Good point sha.
But it still comes to something. The rule is that you can have more than one wife, provided you can love them equally (correct if I'm wrong). I don't think any human being can truthfully love two people equally, not to talk of 3 or 4. So maybe that rule itself is being misinterpreted out of greed...?

what’s there to merry about? I like serious people

Did you think it's coincidence that they ignored him all at the same time?

Joe Biden has told him he's just wasting his time considering NATO membership. "It's premature to discuss Ukraine joining NATO now, not while it is at war". -Biden.
Some challenges are there:
1. Tackle govt corruption
2. Strengthen the judiciary
3. Complete civilian control of all military.

The above cannot be confirmed to be done until after like 5 successive civilian presidents have passed in Ukraine.NATO membership process could take Ukraine over 30 years even if they start it today.

Zelensky just destroyed his country for nothing. Although he won a few battles, he lost the war the very day it started.

Teetee777:
Islamic ally, it is not permitted for 2 people to be seen their private parts talk less of having sex to two people at the same time. Only husband and wife can see each other private parts. It is also not permitted to have two wives in the same room.
Women are very fragile, very easy to control, and at the same time they are very hard to control, only those who have more than one wife will understand the easy and hard way of the woman.
Our Prophet said, “O driver (Man), be gentle when you carry the precious glass. (woman)”

What if you switch off the lights and it's completely dark? They wouldn't be seeing each other's unclothedness.

₦500bn for 125 million people is just ₦4,000 per person. How many days will ₦4k food feed a person? But it won't even reach up to 10 million people. There are better ways to do things.

You guys should stop exciting yourselves unnecessarily. Your thoughts or opinions don't matter in the case! The court would decide it and everyone will see.

RIP
She has gone to the real world. By faith we know we never die, but return to where we came from - the tangible reality, where the Lord Jesus awaits..

Incarnation is like a dream, hence this world is just like the Matrix in that movie.
Humans in this world are like flowers that blossom at a time, and then wither away and disappear like they were never there before.
It's a divine mystery.

If you think there's no God, look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you're merely a meaningless accident. Now how does that feel?

u are a mumu man

I was talking about when Volkswagen was 1200 n we still have wristwatch like stilheoto, singer fridge

I don’t even need to reply u cos u are so lost that u don’t know d meaning of inflation, it affects every country in d world n I could remember my fathers friend travelled to uk in d 90’s with less than 10k

See ehn just go sit down

I won't insult you, lest I be like you.

So if you have that info, you should know that in those days, your car loan would buy you a brand new car with change remaining - latest model, like saying 2023 car!

Inflation affects every country - have you compared their inflation rates with that of Nigeria over the decades? Naira to US Dollars went from 67 kobo in 1973 to ₦765 in 2023. And you're here defending inflation in Nigeria.
Do you know a minimum wage earner in the UK today can use loan to buy 2023 car without much sweat?

You need to know what a working country should be like. And truth is, Nigeria was there once.

Sharpsharp00123:
Oga go n sit down with your rubbish analysis

Many of u are kids who don’t even know what operates now, there are car loans everywhere for civil servants which they can pay conveniently for a period of 4 years

Before u argue just know u are talking to a person whose both parents retired as civil servants

Many of u are just talking rubbish jare, many civil servants are using cars now self

What do you know?
You're the kid here, kindly ask your grandparents what Nigeria was like in the 70s and early 80s. Or did you think Nigeria started in 1999?
Your parents certainly retired after 1993.
I'm talking about the time Peugeot 504 was 7k and Cressida was 5k. Corolla was like 4k. Did you even know Toyota once had a model called Cressida?
Then later in 1988 after Naira suffered devaluation, Mercedes VBoot 230 was around 90k (brand new direct from factory).

Which civil servant can afford a brand new Corolla today without stealing govt money? How much is the car loan govt is giving them today? Can it even buy Nigerian used 2008 Corolla?

There was a time civil servants could afford tear rubber latest Toyota or Peugeot in this country. No stealing. Just pay your car loan over 2-4 years conveniently with like 20% of your monthly salary. Those vehicles worth over N20m today.

Collapsed?
The economy that has been in coma since 2017 or so.
PMB put it on life support oxygen - external debts.
Now BAT is using a defibrillator that takes in 110v on a high tension wire - CLEAR!
We will soon know if he is actually resuscitating the economy or electrocuting it.

Spread your tentacles please. Don't limit yourself to Nigeria, no matter how much you're making.
Do you know how many businesses, factories and banks have folded up in Nigeria in the last 30 years? I'm sure they all thought "we're doing very well".

My advice? Japa, but don't close down your business. They will chop your money oo, but Technology can help you monitor things from abroad and minimize that. Find a way to also start a business abroad, not just going from job to job.

Nigerians had more sense 14 years ago!

You did not even get the correct spellings of most of the names!

Hollywood portray real life while porn portray the fantasies of men - just have sex without any inhibitions or care for your partner, or any sense of responsibility.
But if you watch closely, you'd realise porn is actually boring. You watch the same thing (that you already know) for several minutes on different camera angles.
There are educative sex films where true life partners volunteer to be recorded. Those are more beneficial if you really want to learn anything.

This sounds spooky though.

Sex is overrated, especially for men. It's more of ego than pleasure. But it is not pointless when there is genuine mutual love. Then, it'd be a matter of intimacy than ego.

I had very many girls before I settled, all sizes and shapes. I can't even connect with any of the sweetness again, it all vanished as if they never happened. Nothing I gained, apart from being able to count numbers. So? NOTHING!

Now the idea of cheating sounds irrational. Because, seriously, it's not worth any of the effort. I'd rather be watching a movie when I have nothing to do.

Since many Christians don't know what their faith is all about again. These kind of things happen.

This your generation is totally rotten!
Do you guys know
* There was a time you take a girl to Mr Biggs or Sweet sensation and all she would order was malt and maybe doughnut? Nothing fancy, she just wants spend quality time with you.
* She visits you. You offer her just refreshments, no expectations or demand for transport or any other money. She might even shop from her own purse on her way, so as to prepare you a delicacy, and all she wanted was acceptance and appreciation.
* No spending the night together or sex the first few months or the first year of your relationship.
* Just looking normally good and being very intelligent was how guys attracted ladies.

By the time you start spending money on her, you would know she worths every kobo.
And this wasn't a very long time ago.
NOW MOST GIRLS ARE WORTHLESS THE MOMENT SEX IS NO LONGER YOUR PRIORITY.

Then suddenly! All you guys talk about is money and sex. Stand your ground bro. Any lady that worths your time and money won't demand for it. But since your invites are always booty calls, the prostitutes always heed with a bill.
Learn to keep your snake in your pants and this topic won't be relevant to you again!

Those VIO people are very wicked, especially in Lagos

Lagos is a lot better. Abuja VIO is the worst I've seen.
