WiszyFraud:
Did you know??


There’s no scientific evidence that shows sitting too close to the TV is bad for your eyes.

You mean they've been lying to us all these years?

And that my 2 year old kid is wiser than me when she sits right in front of the TV but I ask her to move back?

Panda7:
op that gal that is a joke to you is another man's treasure, at least she has helped you in the past you can now help her in your own ways if you have management skills that she doesn't have why don't you pass those trait to her

Correct.

And she can pass her money making skills to him as well. (money maker + money manager)

Win - Win

Few things I can say as per what you posted:

1. You are unemployed. Your girl makes money and you don't. Have you asked her what she does online? Is there a way for you to join this online "business" as well?

2. For her to blow through 100k without flinching means there's a solid assurance she can get more. This is the more reason you should ask what she's into. You could be missing life changing money by not doing so.

3. I personally have no problems with an extravagant lady as long as she has earned it herself. There is no prize for living in poverty in this life.

4. Some people have said you should leave her because she spends "unwisely". I think they all miss the vital point here. It's HER money not yours and she has every right to spend it as she wishes. What if she's making investments that you know nothing about? Talk to her. You have not come out to say she buys this or that, only that you don't know what she spends on.

Let me know your thoughts.

gentiles:
Fulanis are neither naive or foolish. They will never allow Bukola Saraki, who is half Yoruba and half Fulani to use the slot of the North to become the president, when there are lots of Hausa/Fulanis from the same North central.

But they can't win by fielding a pure Fulani either. I think Saraki would probably be their best play.

The North would vote for him and i'm sure he won't have problems with winning in the south as well.

NwaAmaikpe:




Thank God she died by herself o, imagine this one went to visit a guy and died while the guy was top of her.
Her family will never act like they knew she had a factory problem.

Till now, the poor guy will still be remanded, they will ensure his trial is perpetually adjourned till his pubic hairs turn grey for a crime he didn't commit.

But that is why God is not a man.

Dear Lord, please save us from women that will bring us bad luck. Instead of them to die in our hotel rooms, let them die by themselves in their house.

Make us one-minute men instead of us to make an epileptic woman have an orgasm that will make her convulse to death.

Strike us with erectile dysfunction whenever we stumble upon a diseased or cursed kpekus.

All this we pray in the name of our Lord Jesus, Amen.

Baba you lost me at orgasm that will make her convulse to death

Na which kain life threatening orgasm be that?

Sleekfingers:
Train transportation wey countries like england, France and Germany have been running close to or over 100 years without hiccups....
Na him this useless country is battling to run....I spit

Very far from the truth.

In developed countries, trains and buses develop faults too. The only difference is that they always spring into action to limit the damage the breakdown may cause. Sometimes, they provide an alternative while the issue is being fixed.

Although we know say them dey mess up, no need to throw the government under the bus for every issue...

GerogeI:
I want to add a few more things to some people who think smoking means western emancipation.

In a lot of western nations smoking is prohibited in common spaces which you share with other people because of the issue of secondary smoke inhalation. Advertisement of cigarettes are outrightly banned in a lot of European countries and cigarette packages are mandated by law to be disfigured with mortifying warnings. No longer the era of cool adverts of Benson and Hedges with colourful sports cars.

So hearing people here go "In America, in UK.... blah blah" simply points to ignorant folks who have not left Nigeria and think smokers are merely ignored to live as they please over there.

You can only smoke in your private room or a designated smoking room or outdoors away from people in most of the western world. Being a smoker immediately mark's you are someone with at best poor health habits, and more like as poor health
Smoking in the USA will definitely affect how much your health insurance will cost you, you can call that legal discrimination. So it's not harmless or just left to be.

Off all gender issues were we must strive and treat men and women equally, smoking is not worth a second to waste.

I think you missed the point of this post until your last line...

The question here was why women who smoke are denigrated while almost nothing is said about their male counterparts who do the same.

Datboredberry:
I'm as very light smoker- at most, three to four cigarettes a week...

I'm very young, and I started smoking two years ago...

In our society, if a woman is known to be a smoker... She's looked down on... And false assumptions are made of her personality...

Why the stigmatisation? I know men are victims too but women who smoke are viewed as classless etc... While with men, it's simply a bad habit...

What's your opinion on women who smoke? And what's your reason?

I would appreciate comments based on experiences rather than bias...

And I need valid points how SMOKING directly indicates a wayward woman...

Thanks!

First question: Smoke what?

I personally stay far away from cigarettes (makes my head light and tastes like shit - no offense) but I do not have a problem with anyone who smokes it, male or female. Indica is the way to go (topic for another day).

Majority (if not all) of those who condemn African women that smoke or drink would not say a word to a Caucasian woman who does the same (hypocrisy?). Heck, I have met accomplished women who smoke and drink and would stand toe to toe with the men in their respective fields.

Can those who tie waywardness to burning tobacco give us any scientific evidence to prove this?
If not, let these women be (what is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander)

Virgil Abloh, the founder of Off-White and the Men’s Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton, has died, his Instagram account confirmed this afternoon.

“We are devastated to announce the passing of our beloved Virgil Abloh, a fiercely devoted father, husband, son, brother, and friend,” the post reads. “He is survived by his loving wife Shannon Abloh, his children Lowe Abloh and Grey Abloh, his sister Edwina Abloh, his parents Nee and Eunice Abloh, and numerous dear friends and colleagues.

What do they mean by "mishandling the $207 million loan"?

Ironic as it may sound, she's right.

You can't judge a person until they are able to afford their temptations...

Dvea:
In an advanced world or in Nigeria. That boy in the link probably had more educated and modern parents than 70% of parents over 50 today. Parents today will still tell their kids to look for stable 60k job and grow. So again a 12 year old boy 7 years ago in nigeria where Internet and social media was barely just finding its ground is not possible.

The boy in the link is 12 in 2021. With laptop, light, Internet, parents with cash and a thriving tech community at his feet. 7 years ago in nigeria did u even have android phone? Speak less of a 12 year old from an average family.

Let's be realistic. We are nigerians

I agree that steady electricity supply, internet access and a vibrant tech community are all critical requirements but I do not think that challenges in these areas should nail the coffin to self development and the drive to succeed.
There are coders both young and old who are making waves in Nigeria, despite all the odds stacked against them.

The better strategy in my opinion would be to make use of what you already have. Put your GB and MB to work; network and learn rather than blowing it all on entertainment and irrelevant things (which most people do, including me sometimes )

Plus, 7 years ago, mobile phone use and internet access was already in full swing in Nigeria

Dvea:
Just had to mention. 7 years ago OP was 12 and probably didn't even know the word cryptocurrency. So...

You'd be surprised what a 12 year old can do

MadamVanessa:
Life is truly sweet with money. I am visiting this place probably next year.

Oya na les go

Eei God! I cannot thank you enough boss. You a dev. too?

No I'm not a Dev (I wish I was!), just a blockchain enthusiast like you.

Lorex6:
Hi
Thank you for opening this post. Your contributions will be greatly appreciated!

I am barber, just turned 19 few weeks ago and I am supposed to start my uni education tomorrow but that is not the problem.

I earned upwards of 40... Maybe 60k most of which I aid my siblings with. But it's too demanding, like 14 or 15 hours a day everyday. And I have some skill trading forex but I don't do it now.

Right now I want to drop barbing and possibly school to learn blockchain development. My mom will prolly take me for deliverance. Lol.
I am buying a laptop tomorrow. Already dropped social media, right now its just Reddit and NL.

I am greatly worried about my future and tired of living inna trap.

I remember learning about Bitcoin like 7 years ago but couldn't get in till this year.

My parents can give moral advice but I need you on this one. Thanks

If you had followed up on Bitcoin 7 years ago, you most likely won't be sharing this post today. Even if you were, it would probably be from the comfort of your own yacht or something less flamboyant

The point here is that blockchain is the future. And one of the most critical factors to making bank is to get in early. (e.g. Eth was $10 in 2016, it's $4,600 as at this morning)
We haven't even began to scratch the surface yet. Don't follow the bandwagon who only see "bitcoin" as the end product of blockchain.
Teenagers like you are forging ahead, defining and creating the future as we speak.

I'd suggest you switch your allegiance to Twitter and Discord rather than Nairaland for valuable networking and resources to help you navigate the volatile terrain.
You may also check out developments in NFTs (Popular ones are Bored Apes Yatch Club, Cryptopunks, Coolcats, etc) and the Metaverse as well. (Metaverse gaming and real estate will explode in 2022, you may wanna check that out too).

I wish you all the best in your journey. WAGMI

GOOD DAY NIRALANDERS

I wanted to start up a POS business with my savings of N65k, but the POS man that i consulted to assist me said i would need at least N150k to start up a POS business.

I've really been hustling everyday, doing hard works (especially on bulding sites), taking pain killer drugs on daily basis..

I don't think it will be easy for me to raised my savings up to that amount 'N150k' with the type of work that i do..

I wanted to travel to the city with my ND (National Diploma) result, so i can use it to look for work, I posted it here on nairaland, but 80% of the advice i got from this forum said it will be hard to see a paying job with ND result, while some said it is not even possible. So i couldn't travel again..

Now that my savings isn't enough to start up a POS business, i'm thinking of starting up a standard akara and akamu business and probably extend the business along the run..

As someone known by his people to have went to school, is the business worth the shame?

As long as the money in your bank account does not have "shame" printed on it, you're good to go

A certain Church had this as prayer point some weeks back:

"Baba God please Cubana me"




EFCC, e be like say una go need that church address too

Balmain.

Baba go still lash am dat night o

And why was the prostitute arrested?

Nigerian Police and shabby policing...



The old guy probably died due to "japata" or "se enu e bo" overdose

Happy Birthday to the celebrant

The only place in the world where Israel will comfortably defeat the Iranian army (plus all the armies in the Middle East combined, and heck, the rest of the world) is in the Nigerian ''Christian" mind.
I am not entirely surprised at this bold yet infantile assertion by those whose only "go to" source for validity is "Yes, Papa has spoken, Oh Daddy has prophesied, it shall be so".

Can Israel unilaterally defend itself against Hamas, Hezbollah and every other insurgent force? Absolute Yes (It's air defense system was built for exactly these kind of worries).
Can it unilaterally take out Iran in an all out warfare? I doubt it. The costs would be too severe (human and infrastructural).

If it could do so, It would not ALWAYS ask for permission from the US (and get rejected) and would have done it a long time ago.

Iran currently sits higher than Israel in terms of firepower (maybe not modernization), and to assume that it would roll over in a unilateral Israeli attack is myopic at best and grossly uninformed at worst. The Israeli army is not even in the top 10 in the world.

How would Israel attack you may ask? ICBMs? Long range missiles?
Iran has Russian air defense systems (one of the best in the world, better than the American Patriot system).
Fighter jets? No American jet (bulk of the Israeli Air Force) can fly from Israel to Iran and back without needing to refuel at some point. They would need to convince one of Iran's neighbors for airspace usage to refuel (American influence needed here).
Plus if it somehow succeeds in invading Iran, how about the ground warfare? Even Israel knows that in ground warfare against a formidable foe, it's forces are not the best (as evidenced in 2006 against Hezbollah, who are miles behind the Iranian Army).
And then again, at what cost?

In warfare, numbers (cost) and strategy are paramount.

The key word here is "unilateral" - without America's political or military support.

I'm just a numbers guy. And numbers don't lie.

And oh, I'm christian too.

Poor man mentality...

Please show me a picture of a top 20 billionaire shopping and showing off even though they can afford the whole chain of stores without breaking a sweat?

None.

diplomat058:
Yes, The British have always been American lapdogs. Right from days of Woodrow Wilson when the US saved their parasitic ass from the fierce and furious Germans, the rest has been a case of an home boy tiptoeing his master. Even British Foreign Policy is essentially applied Anglo-American interests.

Some days ago when I read in the news that the UK is showing some muscles to China along the Taiwan straits, I laugh in Gibraltar. Surely, they dare not dare the Russians. It wont take Putin some days to remind Boris that, without the Americans, Britain and it's land amassing Queen are just an upgraded Morocco

And by the time the dumb and gullible French-speaking African countries wake up from their slumber and reject France, they'd be no more than a remodeled Benin Republic.

But isn't it somehow ackward and shameful for a woman to boldly complain about it

Sex is MEANT to be enjoyed by both husband and wife.

There is NOTHING shameful nor awkward about her voicing out her dissatisfaction.

Hmmm...

I do not have a problem with the "boyfriend" who ordered the soldiers to do what they did.

My issue is with the soldiers themselves.

This sort of behaviour exposes real queations we need to start asking ourselves.

1. What is the job description and expectation of mililtary personnel?

2. What is the role of military personnel in resolution of civilian disputes when there are constitutionally backed institutions (Police?) in place for this purpose?

3. At what point is the application of physical force on an unarmed civillian justified?

4. What are consequences of breaching the millitary code in military to civilian relations?

Say exactly what you said here to her. "Hi, I'd like to talk to you but you make me nervous".
