One of those plenty stories and promises you give a woman when bedding her.

Truly Nigerians are wicked at heart, Even with how hard the tinubu government is working to make things easier.
These wicked store owners are busy increasing prices.
If tinubu were to bundle all of them into cells and give 1 or 2 capital punishment. They'll call him wicked.

May the lord have mercy on thr souls of these wicked traders.

So he should sell below cost price because he wants to appeal to your sense of morality abi?
Y’all should stop using this shitty line. It’s becoming stale.

Humans are by default selfish, capitalist and animalistic (we’re higher animals after all).
The only way to tame these traits is by having a solid system that rewards good and punishes misconduct. With consequences for actions (good or bad) people adjust their ways accordingly.

Now who has the power, resources et al to create and implement these reliable systems?

Hold your government accountable

Happiness is subjective and what you make of it.

I just come back from supermarket, and the two people wey beg me money na oyinbo guys. Women somehow doesn't beg, na only men.

Two days ago at the bus station while waiting for my bus, a pretty Caucasian lady approached me and pleaded for some loose quids.

She needed money to complete her bus fare back to wherever she was going. I handed her a 5ver because this week has been amazing for me in numerous ways.

So yes, begging is not gender specific in the western world.

Job losses are inevitable when such directive is implemented.

Without mincing words I would say the recapitalization thing is a good move to restore investor confidence and attract FDI.

But knowing the FG and her soiled reputation, I will remain skeptical and observe how it unfolds and events that’ll follow.

Only if the recap will give Nigeria a spot in the top 10 banks in Africa by market cap.

I have a feeling the next move by Cardi B will be to create a new currency higher than Clement Isong paper.

robinso01:
This is typical of Nigerians, corruption runs in our blood, but we only blame the government for everything

Government is not responsible for everything wrong in this country, public members are also part

Those asking why NLNG sells in dollars...it's a matter of law and regulation. I'm not sure of all the particulars, but generally there are two legal kinds of gas in Nigeria -

1) Domestic or domgas

2) World gas

NLNG was formed to service the world market Because NLNG is controlled by PRIVATE investors AND the world market price of natural gas is UNREGULATED, the company has been a great success. NLNG has been the most profitable company on Nigeria for decades.

Side note - it was President Babangida that put the reforms in place to make NLNG possible. It was supposed to be a fully owned Nigerian government company but IBB chose PRIVATE led investment structure as under SAP policy.

There's a 100% Government owned company called Nigeria Gas Company that handles the DOMESTIC GAS market, which is is PRICE REGULATED and subsidized. They're the ones who are supposed to supply cooking gas at a subsidized and affordable price. 🙄

Do I need to say any more? Nigeria Gas Company is an inefficient, corrupt and moribund entity just like every other thing owned by government.....Ajaokuta Steel, Federal Universities, NIPOST, NNPC , Federal Mortgage Bank, TCN that suppresses electricity supply...and on and on.

It appears that NNLG is taking over the functions of NGC. Socialism, price regulation, subsidies and government ownership is KILLING NIGERIA.

The ONLY solution to the Nigeria Crisis is FREEDOM...frre markets, socio- economic and political freedom. That's all. Do it or die, nobody is begging you.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

It’s refreshing to read your inputs on this space.
I have gained some good valuable knowledge and insights doing so.

Thank you.

See the nonesense coming out of the mouth of a so called president

The same people who sponsored heavy and serious protests against Jonathan in 2021,called him different types of unprintable names now saying Labour should shut up and there might be no wage increase for them

Whenever I remember how Nigeria has fallen,I remember Animal Farm

It is just a matter of time

Shame!

That novel perfectly describes the state of Nigeria as a nation and her people.

When you’re used to European football then you’ll realize this match sucks.

Poor passes + Poor ball control = Shitty football

Hello bro... I was banned on my other account so I had to look for a way to log in with this account.

I've been in Scotland for 5 months plus and honestly, jobs plenty die, but as a student, it's not easy getting jobs. One has to keep on applying here and there.

Honestly when one will begin to enjoy this place is when you can now work full time.

Thanks a lot bro

Hope you’re settling in nicely.
I’m guessing you’re September intake.

Truth is most employers prefer having full time workers but that doesn’t mean students still don’t get gigs here and there.

Will, shall, going to. . .

Y’all should shut the f*ck up and get to work. Let the results speak for itself.

Tufiakwa !

How do I unread this crap from NLC.

200k minimum wage . . . Joke thing !
With which economic productivity to backup such amounts flying around in circulation?

Okay, maybe NLC want FG to double her loan request hustle from IMF.

Most states are not even paying the present minimum wage of 30k or so.

That proposal is crap because it will only yield hyperinflation.

Instead negotiate for :
- per hour remuneration based on sector.

- prohibition of outsourcing white collar and blue collar jobs to expatriates; with exception to highly skilled labor which cannot be filled internally. However, there’ll be a local understudy with probation period to move up the corporate ladder.

they've taken it out of the streets of Philadelphia now dumped it in Africa,our youth gladly embracing it,its called xylazin HCl mixed with fentanyl.

Exactly.
Tranq dope is the street name.
That disparate laboratory formulation is scary.

Drug abuse knows no bounds as far as the market is illegal.

Sadly, Occult men oversee the affairs of the state.

He was slapped with a N10,000 fine for making a detour to the wrong path and ending up in a different homestead other than the girl's.

The decisive moment specifically was when the elders demanded for a refund of the total sum of N850,000 to repair the father's old car that knocked engine

The bride’s family doubling as road safety/LASTMA/VIO

He was also asked to pay N15,000 to appease the elders who had become tired of waiting for his arrival.

While the elders are representatives of the Oracle. The gods don’t joke with time management

tete7000:
When that Cr7 model falls apart, I pray you will be alive to witness it. It looks good on the surface, but the inherent fault in it will one day cause it to explode.

Nothing on earth is fault-proof.
How you handle it comes into play.
You dig?

When I’m ready to walk that path, I’ll draft a prenuptial and postnuptial agreement.

There’s more to marriage than emotions/fleeting feelings and as such should be handled with business gloves.

Cr7 is my model in that regard.

1. Political/Economic instability

2. Dwindling purchasing power of local currency

3. Heavy corporate tax and side kickbacks

4. Almost extinct middle-class

5. The new sheriff dampened the international image of the CUNTry due to pre-election and post election irregularities fortified by the judiciary.

The only profitable business there is politics and whoccupp.

Thanks for more enlightenment, everyone go through one stuff or the other but i think that shouldn't hinder helping a good friend.

By all means everyone should help one another. Unfortunately, the only help people recognize and appreciate is financial help.

I’m sure you understand what I am driving at.

Goodnight bruv.

pansophist:
Yes. I have been saying this here for long. The immaterial are what actually matters, and material wealth are complimentary.

A wealthy woman that is not sexually satisfied will go get it from a broke boy that has dedicated his life to knacking as a calling

Big man will park his car to go to the ghetto to meet iya alagbo to give her better herbal medicine. Though he is rich, he needs the service of a poor woman.

Rich folks are mostly wolves, very wise within themselves, and need those lower to feel respected, and to put their wealth in the spotlight becsuse if everyone are rich, then no one is rich.

A governor that is wealthy and has access to unimaginable funds recently passed away. So time was actually his greatest wealth, and poor man has it in abundant.

Or all these rich western people that yahoo boys are exploiting becsuse they need companionship. Their big houses, money, and financial freedom could not fill the desire for love and to be loved.

Life is lived immaterially, money just makes it more interesting.



etc.

I think this is the picture Ecclesiastes 1:2 is trying to reveal if you look at it holistically.

kabanayol9:
If you have been through storms of life and you overcame there is no way pride will enter you.
I am talking from experience though una fit correct me, if two friends are striving to make it, if one finally does, why is it that the one that made it 95% of them forgets the other friend who is still struggling, an helping hand is okay, a situation you yourself had experienced.
No come dey ask me who i don help, i am almost there but still do the little i can afford to help.
Life is vanity, we hold too much to what we can never keep, we all see lessons from life but daily we ignore.
Anyways last last, we will all be successful, timing differs, each day we wake up, there is hope 100%.

Don’t you know that the rich also cry?
Relax man, nobody has it all sorted out.
Life challenges can never be solved absolutely rather they only transform from one form to another.

How did I know this?

Listen fam, looking back I remember praying and brainstorming on a stead to be where I am today. Now, on getting here my priorities have changed in pursuit of more.
So you see, human needs are insatiable. It’s an unending cycle.

But at a point you’ll realize that what actually matters in this life are basically immaterial in nature.

pansophist:
I don't have a new plan, just a continuation of the former plans laid down over fifteen years ago. So I'll just keep strengthening myself and looking for shortcuts, to achieve this old plan very quickly.
Whats the plan you may wonder? The plan is freedom. I want to be as lazy as a slay queen, and still ball and live the good life, with me and my family.

And that's just one of the grand plan. The others? Personal. Even if a surgeon tear my heart out, he won't know it

Investment that yields returns without actively being involved in the daily ops. Just like the popular saying “making money even when asleep”.

That’s the only possible way to achieve some level of freedom in this capitalist global system. I’m a freedom seeker too.

Goodluck fam !

maasoap:
My post was in response to your comment . To let you realise that she has tasted SINGLENESS and she doesn't like it with that PEACE OF MIND you're advising . Got it?

Ordinary comments on controversial topics like this will always generate negative reactions from netizens because they want people to live and act according to the dictates of the society.

My take is this: Allow people do want they, how they want it and when they want it when it comes to relationships affairs.

Please is this in any way a problem?

maasoap:
She said she doesn't have money, more like she needs a helper in form of husband. I wish her well

Needing a helper or a financier is within her human rights. After all we all have a covert wish list. It’s now left for who can fill the gap to make the move or not.
Life is not that difficult is it?

SSpeter:
It is toxic to be lonely, data on health science shows that you are very much likely to suffer from dementia early also you are more susceptible to HBP and other age related memory loss. It takes great effort to achieve equilibrium when you are lonely. You can get solace in your pet or other addiction but these are not substitute for humans...talk therapy is becoming a gold mine in developed countries and recently in health care business consulting (where I have done a bit of work lately) mental health is pushing a lot of young people out of work...the number cause of a mental health challenge is loneliness

Good points you made.
People in an abusive/toxic relationship suffer worse fate than HBP and dementia.
Albeit, for clarity sake I’ll like to understand your standpoint on this without mincing words.
Are you a proponent of being in a relationship even when the union is detrimental to your overall wellbeing?

SSpeter:
My data is from clinical psychology, I am sorry I cannot get the link at the moment, it was a Canadian article on mental health written by Jordan Peterson, you see after 45 there is a high tendency that your former colleagues and friends are either married or are in one form of relationship or another. Furthermore, at 45 our bodies begin to go through another biological phase and we tend to crave companionship. It is not about wealth or not, when I worked in Nigeria I knew very few people who were over 45, had loads of money who were not married but they used their jobs as their companion but at that point you are already close to being an executive with about 60days of holiday, paid vacations but you still see them come around the office. Loneliness at that age is depressing, you cannot shake it off with clubbing or partying unless you have addictions ( drugs , alcohol or womanizing) which are not generally acceptable characters. Even TaTa of India that has never been married said family is what he misses most and he found companionship with his dog. It is what it is

Fair enough.
I quite understand that humans are social beings hence the craving for companionship and all. However, it boils down to individual peculiarities as I outlined earlier.

There’re many boredom/loneliness coping mechanisms people engage in that doesn’t involve emotionally bonding with another human. Could be with pets, booze, drugs, travel etc.

Bottom line is - better to be alone with peace of mind than be in a toxic/unhealthy union with someone else.

Expensive toys

SSpeter:
No matter the peace of mind, after 45 it begins to get lonely. This happens to both black and white and that is why romance scam will never end, people are lonely and wouldn't mind paying a scammer for the fake attention. I have read interviews where the women said they had an inkling it was a scam but they were just too lonely and wanted a companion.

So who exactly set this benchmark of 45?
Please provide valid/verifiable data to back this your claim.

So you know, individual preferences differ.
Social status, belief systems, exposure, life experiences, . . . make it very difficult to generalize.

Being single with peace of mind trumps an unhealthy relationship.

Y’all should stop these women-bashing comments and allow people do what they deem suitable for themselves. Hypocrites!

Agribusiness of such scale will swallow that 1mil you have.
Keep your job and undertake the venture by the side. Employ a farm manager and set out performance targets while you carry out an oversight function periodically.

Please don’t trade a known for the unknown. Atleast not at the embryonic stages.

Best wishes.

Return the funds and get some ‘thank you’ token or spend it and be on the run.
