Nice one, the job being done by the campaigners is highly commendable; we wish them more power to their elbows.

Whether companies prefer to employ only OND or HND holders or not; whether you have marketable skills or not; please do all you can and ensure you get a B.Sc....e get why.

Austinboy:
I purposely opened this thread so i can let out all I'm passing through and feeling because I've been having suicidal thoughts. Right now as i speak, i can't even use my own original sim as a result of constant threats from people i owe.

Let me start this way. I used to be a very upright person who detested gambling. Even back in school when my then room mate used to, i looked at him somehow. Fast forward to after NYSC, just by hearing a discussion of how someone made 300k with 100 naira. I decided to try. I started out with 100 and then when 1 game cuts it, i will say i have hope. 100 sooned turned to me staking 1000 then i went out of control from there.

I started gambling on dog racing and before i knew it, u did the one which eventually wrecked me. I started gambling on instant virtual first on bet9ja before i moved to sportybet.

Last year was the worst. I made millions of naira but all when down the drain on virtual bets. There have been days when i can finish 500k in just an hour on virtual.

Right now I'm indebted to so many apps. My name has been broadcasted severally and people who used to look uo to me are wondering what went wrong. I don't know if i can ever build my image again. I'm so ashamed of myself that i don't know if i should live again. The problem is anytime i have money, even after saying i won't go back. Once I'm credited, i go straight to it. It won't be an exaggeration to say i have lost over 15m within the last 5 to 6 years I've been into this shameful habbit. Please i need help, i need advice maybe from someone who has gone through this phase successfully because I'm at the verge of ending it all. I used to be so responsible and now my life is not worth emulating at all right now.

Mods please help me move this to front page as i need someone, just anyone to tell me how i can move forward from this mess.

I was just 'strolling pass' Nairaland and read your post, had to stop by for few minutes to advice you.

I feel you bro., I have somewhat been in your shoes, but maybe not as bad.

If you believe in God, the first step is to pray; kneel down and pray to him for help. When you go through experiences in life that outweigh you, you definitely need help, help from a higher being.

Second, Talk to someone you truly respect and who will always have your back, preferably a relative who you trust to a large extent, tell the person what you have resolved to do, tell him (or her) to frequently ask you for update, discuss your progress with him (or her); take it a day at a time.

Third, Change your mindset about making money from betting, IMO (In My Opinion) less than 5% ever hit it big, erase the belief from your mind that you could someday be among that meagre 5%. Betting should be fun, but when you cross the red line, it becomes a burden, worst than cocaine.

Fourth, Concentrate your effort and time on making money legit and get deeply involved in other non-harmful habits that give you joy, pleasure and satisfaction. Whenever the thought of betting comes to your mind, consciously wade it off, ignore it, remember, what you nurture grows, what you let suffer, dies. Never nurture the thought of gambling whenever it comes, as time goes on and to your amazement, it will die a natural death.

Fifth, Delete every betting App on your phone and never log in via any web browser, also detest betting shops like a plague, make up your mind to never visit there again. This is also the time to change your circle of friends, stop hanging out with or around folks that indulge in the habit, whether physically or remotely; don't even discuss anything betting with anyone again.

Sixth, Don't ever make the mistake of saying, "Let me just play today, after all, I have not played in the past 3 weeks or it's a sure game, let me play today only". If you try it, that will be the start of another fall and disaster.

Seventh and lastly, celebrate the small wins- celebrate three days of quitting, celebrate a week, celebrate two weeks, celebrate a month, celebrate two, three, four, five, six months and before you know it, you would be celebrating a year and then, two, three, five, seven and ten years and one day you will be on Nairaland reading a similar story that resonates with you and from the depth of your heart, you will pen down a response to the person, just like I have done with you.

May you be set free.

God be with you always.

Best wishes.

They know exactly what they are doing. It's simply a revenue-generating channel for them, they've really made clean, easy and sweet money from visa fees, now it's IELTS or TOEFL. They will never accede to our campaign, not in the nearest future. We too should fix our country.

This Putin own sef too much, just instigating fear upandan, the west should even engage him once and for all, let's get to see his military prowess.

NORSIYK:
He's apologizing because he was caught.
He's not apologizing because he's remorseful

Abi nah...guy man quick tender apologies because there was a caught....almost everybody na thief, na who day break meet, na him be the real barawo.

JoyReportsOnlin:
Some ladies don't have shame

I tell you... shameless lots, but this is a lesson to all the 'broke' guys out there chasing women. You better pursue success instead, and these women will be the ones falling over themselves for you, at least you can see Okoye's case yourselves, even some married women go codedly put head for the matter....sad.

Sounds weird, but Reno can rarely be wrong where I am. He is a human being and not perfect, but he is full of wisdom, he is a man I hold in high esteem, respect so much and very dear to me. God bless him always.

So of all the issues at hand, especially 2023, it is BBN that Nigerian youth should focus on? Who is this OP?

If you don't have self-confidence... Don't date them...

This has nothing to do with the redpill...

Most Simps can approach these sorta ladies, the only problem is the relationship they would have...

Most Alphas don't have the confidence to even ask their boss on a date...

The word simp has suffered in the hands of Nairaland's redpillers...

Check up the word in a dictionary

Simp means a silly or foolish person, but its meaning is different when used as a slang.

redon12:
My fiance blocked me on WhatsApp three years ago, I couldn't reach her on phone either. I couldn't reach her mum and two sisters, trying to understand why she blocked me and why I couldn't reach her Family.

Two days later I saw her traditional wedding pictures on Facebook. It was the cruelest thing that ever happened to me.

I didn't have much money then so I could understand why she left. But I spent every dime I had on her, the sex was good and I was always there when she needed me.

All this happened three years ago, I felt that because she left me abruptly her life was supposed to be miserable, but she really is doing well, I have been stalking her all the way, I attended her wedding and her graduation, though quite conspicuous in the act, she drives the latest cars now, the last time I heard about her she was leaving the country to the UAE to deliver her second child. And still nothing bad happened to her.

I still can't get over her my life is miserable. But then all those years she left and I had time for myself to think clearly and learn web development skill, I was able to build my self a site that quickly transformed itself, it had a fast growth, an e-commerce/fintech company, which i am now officially it's CEO, with a company size of 11 people. I just got a seeding of 1.2 million dollars, to buy riders for dispatchers and also for advertisement.

But with all these she's thriving and she's doing well, It makes me wonder if life is really fair, I still have pictures of the day I proposed at ShopRite, the kisses, the hugs, the time we spent together, I still can't believe she forgot all that.

I am doing well now I have my own house and two cars to it, and a thriving company. But I can't stop stalking her, because of her I moved to Enugu where she lived. Some days whenever I come back from work Early I give this secondary school boys small cash to go to her husbands mansion to see if there is any activity there, then come back and report to me.

I believe she doesn't know I am still unto her, almost any day I am coming back from work, I drive through her beauty spar just to catch a glimpse of her.

I convinced my kid sister to move to Enugu, also convinced her to enroll her child in the same nursery and primary school my fiance's child goes to.

No matter how hard I try to meet other women, I always see her face on the wall behind them. I have tried to meet women from different countries from some of my trips to Dubai. No matter how gorgeous they never appeal to me.

Even till today I still see her as my fiance, I don't know what to do or how to get over her.

So sorry about what you are currently going through, life sometimes can be unfair, but it goes on and so must you.

You are in a very sad, painful, terrible and delicate situation and you need to see a therapist, fast! You need professional help.

Also, get closer to God if you believe in him, go to spiritual gatherings often, this would help you mingle with others that can help you spiritually.

May you find healing by God's grace. It is well with you my brother.

Stay strong.

Col0gne:
The people you call musicians are the chief peddlers of immorality and waywardness among the youths. Most of them have nothing to offer than musical pornography.

In our generation, Most movies and songs are making a huge fortune promotion immorality, ill-gotten wealth, and other vices. Many adults and some of our parents are even making matters worse!

I concur, 100%.

So, na how to upload and offload cows make I use my January 2022 dey learn? What is wrong with these set of people??

LibertyRep:
It will be extremely hard to entrust the future of this badly managed entity into the hands of neophytes who do not have a proven record o public service.

I like her courage but why not try out Federal of even state assemblies first to build your pedigree?

One doesn't need to build his or her pedigree by contesting for lower public offices. Donald Trump never contested or held any elective post, he went from being a business tycoon to becoming a President. MKO Abiola also almost did it in Nigeria, he allegedly even won. It's all about belief, strategy, funding and knowing when to strike the iron when it is red hot.

seunmsg:
The same amount you were paid to de-market him.

I only asked a question, I never "de-marketed" him or went against his ambition.

So I ask again, how much were you paid?

thorpido:
They should rest na.Is it by force to play at the Australian open?

He needs to play because he wants to make history. Go find out.

I would also revoke his visa if I were the Australian immigration Minister, allowing him to play is setting a bad precedence and slapping millions of Australians who adhered to the COVID rules, in the face. Nobody should be above the law. Good decision.

seunmsg:
In as much as he’s coming to serve Nigerians diligently and to help revive the economy and bring about a prosperous Nigeria, he will be president by the grace of God and the support of majority of reasonable Nigerians.

He’s a well educated Accountant with a solid background in the private sector. He worked with some of the best companies in the world before voluntarily exiting the private sector to serve the country as a Senator. When the third republic collapsed, he joined other Democrats to form NADECO and fight for the democracy we all enjoin today.

As governor of Lagos, he was excellent. He was instrumental to the formation of Nigerias governors forum and also provided leadership for the southern governors forum. He led the battle for the creation of Local government, state police, abrogation of onshore/offshore dichotomy and other matters that are essential to a properly constituted federal system of government.

Sentiment aside, I can’t think of someone better qualified to be president than Tinubu. He’s a square peg in a square hole. He will unite Nigeria and set her on the path of shared prosperity. Dear Nigerians, if 2023 is the question, Asiwaju is the answer!

How much were you paid?

How can these fine boys be gay?

They don't even need to woo women.

Ivimmanuel:
really don't know what new osinbajo will bring to the table, zulum may only become a puppet while osinbajo keep giving Nigerians partime jobs and paying them stipend and giving recharge card money as loans. If buhari fails as a president I wonder why people think those arround him are not part of it.

You will notice Osinbajo acted the script and played a puppet all through Buhari's tenure, he kept quiet as a show of loyalty in order to not step on the powerful toes of the Northern oligarchs.

You will also observe that the few times he took charge in Buhari's absence, Nigeria felt the impact of his decisions which the cabal perceived to be a threat.

Osinbajo is intelligent, give it to him, he is an intellectual, unfortunately, he found himself among sharks, and he has played his cards well.

I believe he would perform wonderfully well if at the helm of affairs as the President, not a VP.

Obi this, Cubana that...the Nigerian government should try harder, they can never nail him because he is a genuine businessman. The bigot in Abuja hates the igbos, who even cares? Let him go and face his bandits, how many of them has he publicly prosecuted? Mr. Integrity indeed.

TheRareGem1:
With Osinbajo zulum running, APC would be declared winner by 12 noon irrespective of who PDP give the ticket.

I concur 200%

That combo will be a banger!

We must always understand that the mind is a man's greatest asset, if you want to subdue any human being, just capture the mind.

May God grant her eternal rest.

Davido was obviously high when he typed that message. It's good to distance yourself from your phone when you are high or about to.

Her separation speech is not bad at all, very apt and well articulated. We wish them all the best as they both journey through different paths in life.

Fred166:
I married my beautiful wife January this year, I Love my wife so much, I have never cheated on her since we got married. I opened a business for her worth 900k. i've already promised her a car this coming year (well I ride camry muscle and I'm tired of sharing the car with her).

My wife is too lazy, all she cares about is her eye lashes, make-up, nails and watching Zeeworld all day, She goes to her shop 10am and return 3pm, She barely take care of the house. Sometimes the plate I used for breakfast before going to work would still be on the dining table unwashed when I return. Her make-up tools and bag littered everywhere in our sitting room.

We're expecting our 1st child, Now that She's pregnant (4 months) she's worst. Na so so chop chop, I will jokingly say babe Pls don't go out of shape I won't look ur side again, Is like the more I beg, the more she chop chop. ...weird food carvings. Coconut water and bread, shawarma and pepper soup with sugar cane in her hand, I dare not buy it for her otherwise I won't sleep.

I still cook when I'm back from work. Anytime I tried to talk to her, she would say can't I see she's pregnant, she's having waist pain, leg pain, Infact body pains. I wanted to employ a maid she refused, she spoke ill about maids, she said they are husband snatchers e.t.c.

3 days ago, She asked me to renew our dstv sub and I refused. Yesterday I noticed she has done it (first time). I saw her watching Zeeworld, laughing sheepishly and pointing to the TV, I needed to watch man united match so I changed the channel, she dragged the remote control from me and changed it back to Zeeworld, she said I'm too stingy, I didn't sub for her, I refused to buy her a car.

I don't know what to do. With her lazy attitude I'm scared during delivery she would be saying I can't push o.

Experienced men help a brother.

It's best to always resolve issues right from their roots. The problem in the home is that Zeeworld, I don't know how you can resolve it, but do so and you'd see every other thing fall into good places.

Let's just hope these are true hackers and not some backdoor arrangements with the group of people Pantami and his Boss are sympathetic towards. Either ways, this is not looking good at all.

pocohantas:
If you keep picking wrong men, then you are a problem. While it might be convenient for you to blame men, you need to enter your quiet place and ask “WHY ALWAYS ME?”

She is heavily pregnant and it would make it the fourth child for a different man. I mean, this lady has four kids for four different men. Two crackheads in America, 1 for Ubi and she is carrying the fourth for Steve.

What would kill a lot of the new generation WIVES is trying to prove to the public that their husbands are modern and tolerant of every bullshit. It is the same demon that is making Janemena keep twerking to prove a point. When she should have retired long ago or at worst, after the Kpokpogarri saga.

You don't test the ego of a man.
Not a Nigerian man at that, except you have where you tied him. In the absence of that, don’t subject your marriage to constant pressure and ridicule.

You found a man that took you with your three kids and rather than put your head down, your concern is peppering Ubi. Ubi said no man will ever marry you, so you have to rub it in his face every day. Zukwanuike, no way!

Everyday you are fighting with Ubi ONLINE. Any woman (or man) that drags their EX and father of their kids in public is a cantankerous one. One that should be avoided. Some couples separate and tell you IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCE. You think they are stupid? Some things are better left unsaid for the honour of both parties. Not forgetting the kids that would grow to read this nonsense.

The exact problem with lots of single mothers and divorcees - No introspection. No upgrade. No repentance. Just a thirst to prove to their EX that they have been able to clinch another man.

If she has sense, she should try to fix this one. If not, she can stay there and join Tonto in KINGSHIP. Wisdom is profitable to direct…

Well said.

EBMedia:
Steve Thompson, the estranged husband of Sandra Iheuwa, one of Ubi Franklin's baby mamas, has revealed why his marriage to Sandra ended after just 5 months, IgbereTV reports.

Steve said he wasted 45 million Naira to marry Sandra only to discover that Sandra "married for social media, not for the home."

He added that Sandra fights everyone, including his family members and constantly reminds him that she's an American and tells him that he married her to get "Green card".

He said his marriage can no longer work because of Sandra's "too much use of social media."

He also said that no man can marry Sandra.

He added that she threatened that she knows bloggers and will tarnish his image on blogs if he ends things.

He also alleged that "she leaves the whole place dirty".

This is Steve Thompson's second marriage to crash and he has revealed that he will now focus on his business.

Sandra is heavily pregnant with the couple's first child. Sandra also has other kids with other men, including a daughter she shares with Ubi Franklin.

Zlatan finally equals Cristiano Ronaldo’s record





https://dailypost.ng/2022/01/09/zlatan-finally-equals-cristiano-ronaldos-record/

When I first saw the caption, Zlatan, come see Ronaldo, I was wondering what the correlation is, I think say na Zlantan Ibile, I don forget say we get one football martial artist whose name also starts with Zlatan. He is indeed a great player who has no plans of retiring any time soon; much love to him.

But Buhari your boss coup Shehu shagari in 1983

Why you think say him send Osinbajo? He knows he has no moral justification to speak on the subject matter, because he too has done it before.
