It's a bit lengthy pls bear with me

I met a lady through 2go in 2014. I asked her out online and she accepted, weeks later, we met one weekend and had sex on the first day! The sex wasn't great, I stopped half way and went to shower. The following day I snooped and discovered that she already have a boyfriend and the guy is in the same school with her. I dissolved everything between us and left for my lodge (I was schooling too but in another school but same state)

She didn't call to apologise and I also locked up. Fast forward 6 month later, she messaged me on Facebook that she was 7 months pregnant. I did my calculations and Instantly knew something was wrong somewhere. I denied being the father, she went on my friend list and dug up my my uncle's profile and chatted him about the pregnancy. My uncle messaged me

Calm me down and request I go see the baby with my parent. We went to her parent house, saw the baby immediately started investigating about dna test. I was humbled by the price of the dna test (200k as at then) because there is no way I was going to raise that kind of money while in school.

Long story short, my parent and I have been taking care of the baby ever since then, I finished school around 2017, travelled out of the country almost immediately after graduation and assumed responsibility on my own.

I came back late 2019, I requested we do a dna test upon my arrival. I went straight up to a known diagnostic center and made enquiries of the price and what to bring before the dna test will be done..

I was told to bring any official means of identification for myself, the birth certificate of the baby and the mother will also have a means of identification too and she will also be present to sign the consent form.

I told her about the requirements and ask her if she had any means of identification herself. She said No! I went back to the diagnostic centre and told them if there is any substitute, they said she can present her NIN slip. I told her immediately to get the NIN slip, days later she told me there were too much people on the queue and that she can't continue to waste her time endlessly. We went back and forth about the NIN slip till the whole of 2020 ended.

The beginning of this year I told her that I'll stop giving her money for the baby's upkeep if she can't provide the NIN slip. With as low as 2500 she can get hers from the local shops.

She called and called for me to send her money for the first 3 months of this year. I didn't budge. I kept to my words. No dna test, no money. School fees time came, she called, I was forced to go back to the diagnostic center this April and pleaded if there is a way we could do the dna test without requesting any form of identification from the mother of the child. They called the head office in lag and told me that we can do the test without the mum's mode of identification. I was elated and called her to bring the baby with her on the 5th of April (Easter Monday) to the my shop, then from there we will go to the diagnostic center. She said OK.

I waited for her to bring the child over, she didn't. She called me 3 days after saying that she went for a church program. I was furious. I told her to show bring the baby the following day (Thursday) she said she will come. Again she refuse to show up. She called 5 days later to tell me that she's sorry. I ended the call and told her that she isn't serious.

She rang me days ago to tell me that the baby is not feeling too well and that she want to see me, she urge me to pls send her something to take the baby to the hospital for treatment.

I'm in a dilemma, I don't know how to go about this. It's obvious that she is deliberately not allowing me to go for the dna test and I don't want to be a deadbeat dad either.

How do I lure her to go for the test? I don't want my daughter to have a bad perception about me that I wasn't there through her childhood (if eventually she turn out to be mine).

Help!

Good day everyone (fellow nairalanders lol), Recently with little comments or replies from me on some topics here I see my followers increasing in numbers and I still do not even really know if they would get to see this post etc.
I have got something to drop here and its about the power of the internet especially with regards to getting a source of income. I have been on this success route for just 1 year and few months but it seems really longer than that.

Just being a novice, got the opportunity to learn and be guided by my trainer who had struggled for years trying to make out something out of online business. Personally, my previous experience on betting and forex really was for good – I had lost money, that’s the worst, nothing more than that could happen this time around (those were my exact thoughts).

My training was quite casual, it seemed like I went on a social outing to be honest but something significant happened. My trainer bought me a new laptop much bigger than the smaller notebook I used which got bad – that was the trigger for me to take this training serious.

He had mentioned it to me much earlier, but casually I did set up something and just put it on the selling platform for sale only to be realise much later that my card was debited monthly and I never got an order from a buyer for more than 4 months. But after the training, I became quite serious and had a focused approach.

When I began initially, just as my trainer also laboured for years – we both had a sentimental approach, it was about what we liked or had interest in. That was very wrong for business(business is with the sole aim of profit), My big hit within 2 weeks after training was from the sale of incontinence pads, other sellers were out of stock and so I was the only one with monopoly and my price was ridiculous (it was never intentional, at all I was still very much new to the game).

When I placed items to sell initially – I put up IELTS and OET books for sale, cos of my profession with the thoughts that lots of healthworkers trying to immigrate abroad etc. My trainer solely was on phone and electronic gadgets, even went further into branding advertising etc – it was years of struggling. Let me state clearly, the selling platform was Amazon which is the No 1 in the world.

I did remarkably well and for the ridiculous price I sold items innocently, I was suspended (for price goughing). I took that opportunity to try something else and that took me to Ebay. So the disappointment of the suspension was good, blessing in disguise – despite being casual on Ebay, it was a good outcome. Registered my business, got employees to sort and deal with orders and this is the beginning of how why this feels unreal, I was abroad and my employee was in Nigeria. Not about cheap labour please, I finally had the chance to be meaningful to someone after several difficulties I had, let me leave that aside. That was possible because I was dropshipping, so I had no physical store and also never even saw my best-selling products.

Very recently, I have created an IG page – now in Nigeria, because I see dispatch riders all over the place and feel I have just been lazy with my knowledge and expertise. The opportunity I had to come into E-commerce was as a result of Covid-19, Lockdown meant my employers told me I would not be needed as patients would not be coming in their usual numbers and my response to them was I was fine with it. So you see how that timing was crucial for me to focus, now again I quit my 9 to 6 job at Lekki to grow my business once again in another country.

I understand the usual impression about business in Nigeria, negativity and all but a good number still thrive because demand is usually constant. I have got some time on my hands definitely cos of a bold decision I took to leave a salaried job recently – my skillset was limited in that job, I am a foreign-trained health professional (Dr.) currently with some time to train and mentor interested persons. I will not always be free, that’s the reality.

My IG page is close to over a thousand followers, so the need to take it seriously as demand is on the rise. I see almost everyone has a whatsapp business page, even those who do it in disguise. But the real questions are,
What are you selling? -What’s the demand for it,
Where are you selling? If online, is it the best platform (just as location for a physical store)
Do those who need your product/service get to see you, if you are even on the right platform (Being on Amazon, does not guarantee profits)
What’s the price? – do people see it as fair enough to go ahead and buy from you.
Depending on the feedback I get and people interested- I could organise a training within days and clarify doubts and discuss my business experience and ideas. Its gonna be really hard to stay here and be active on a thread. I am also considering blogging currently at the moment with my free time, its taken barely 5mins to do this.

Contact is on my signature/profile. Best wishes to everyone who seeks to make it genuinely online and to those who don’t I have no bad wishes either, No hating.

Here is my own trick

I follow etf on Twitter
I follow gurus on Instagram
I am on many Telegram stock market group
I compare and contrast
e.g if Twitter analyst are pictching their tent with a particular stock e.g $FGH and Instagram, Telegram groups are also saying same and I come nairaland and see same thing.

I will sit down do my own due diligence and once am convinced I put ALL my money on such stock, then sit down and sip kunu with my sun glasses.

Many years ago, even before the advent of mass rush into agriculture by Nigerians, I saw the opportunities and it's wealth creating potentials and I told few of my friends willing to listen and willing to take action with me that they should invest in agriculture.
I shared few of my findings with them.

Those that venture out with me then are doing very well now.

The journey was not easy but the experience taught me some great lessons


I started farm estates many years ago due to my bad experiences.

I bought some tens of acres of farmland to be used for farming purpose.

Months after acquiring,I faced a lot of issues,from security,poor accessibility, and lots more

The height of it all was when fulani cattle herdmen came to feed their cattle with my 9 months old cassava destroying about 50 acres in the process.

A year down the road,I abandoned the land and the idea of starting a farm estate where people interested in agribusiness can buy a land,farm the land, in a well secured,accessible to road,market etc.

And over the past 7 years,I am happy that numerous of our clients are satisfied and can farm in a well secured environment with access to market.

These are what I did wrong in my first land acquisition

1. I acquire my farmland in the midst of no-where,where I was alone with no farmers around.

I learnt this in a very hard way.
No farmers was within 10km of my farm,I was seriously exposed.

Now,we have farmers both in the community where our farm estate is located and city farmers which you can interact with,collaborate and share ideas and knowledge.

2. I didnot ask questions on the security of the farm.

I was rushing to get started with cultivation and was blinded to the fact that my farm cultivation cannot succeed without a well secured area.

The guy that sold the land was just interested in selling land and after money have exchanged hand,he left me to my own destiny,I have to fight,spend lot of money to secure the farm

When I discovered that it's not sustainable,I had to abandon the land.

That's why on our farm estates,we make sure that apart from selling you problem-free,secured farmland, we provide the necessary support from cultivation to accessibility to the market.

Those on our farm estates can testify to this.

3. Poor accessible road
The access to the farm was poor,I had to turn 360° round the farm to know what's happening on the other side of the farm.
If anything happens on the farm,it will take days to know.

There are lot and lots of what I want to share concerning land but I will have to stop here.


If you need problem-free,secured land,then you can talk to me.
Till June 15th,there is also great discount for those that will be joining others on any of our farm estates in ijebu-igbo (ogun state),ogbomoso (Oyo state) or ilorin (kwara state).

One of the aspects of publishing that can help you save a lot of money is when it comes to formatting your own book. When I started I used to go to fiverr to get it done, I would then analyze what was done and how it was done. After a while, I started doing it myself

Unless you're extremely busy, its advisable to do these things yourself if you can

Yes we are still very much in business and even expanding, so feel free to contact us at any time you are ready sir
