I have met Mike twice but ................

Reader530:
Good day nairalanders. I want a sincere advice from you people.

A friend visited me almost two weeks ago. He has never visited me before, but when he came I thought he would not spent more than two days because apart from the cloth he was wearing the day he came, he didn't bring additional cloth, no brush, no soap, etc.

At first, he told me he can stay with me even up to a month with one cloth. He said, besides, he was sacked from his work.

Today, he forgot that he told me he was sacked; but he told me that he is on annual leave. The father asked him to come home for burial of his relative but he told me he would not go. I told him Npower has not paid us, but I will source for his transport, but he doesn't understand me. He thought, I will give him the whole money even if Npower pays, all the money I planned and budgeted for his coming was exhausted. I added some money to make sure he eats good meal thrice in a day.

In a nutshell, I am tired, I want to be alone for now. How should I tell him I want him to leave in a pleasant manner. Please positive advice will be highly appreciated.

Thanks all

I have taken time to read your post and people's responses. Brother, don't chase him out. Don't lie to him that you want to travel. The problem you have is that he is draining your meagre resources. This is understandable, call him, you are men. Explain things to him and tell him to come clean with you. You never can tell what will happen tomorrow. You have started very well and don't spoil it with small thing.

I can give you minimum of five examples but I don't have time now. Just accommodate him, okay

I can imagine a world without internet as against the poser in the first paragraph in the write-up. A world without internet has been, it was before the incursion of internet and people lived it.

The problem is that we have wired our mind in such a way that we believe that without internet, our world will not be better. I am not against it, I don't have problem with it. As a matter of fact, it has helped me in so many uncountable ways. It is still helping me. The nairaland platform I am now, is made possible through the power of internet.

I wake-up surfing the web, it makes life interesting. But thinking about it now, based on the first paragraph of the write up, I think we can live in a world without internet. Permit me to relate it to a personal experience, I had my first degree at a time in history when internet has not been the order of the day. It was a time when only a few can afford it. Like me, then I couldnt afford it, I did not even have opportunity to handle a desktop let alone laptop.

The only gadget I could relate to then was a palmtop, and there were little I could do with a it, I only used it to show ego, the point I am trying to make is that computers were not common. In those days in IMO State University, Timacy and London Net were the two t we normally go for night browsing because many of us student could not afford to get browsing phone let alone an Android or window phones. In fact, I don't think there were such phones then. But I know of Nokia phones.

So writing my first degree project, I had to be in the library, reading all the books I can lay my hands on. Then writing project was more of your sweat and originality. One will write, pay Business Centres to type your project and present to your supervisor who will make corrections and you pay Business Centres to correct it for you until I finished.

Fast forward to when I was doing my master degree program 3 years after, I had access to the internet 24/7. I have my own laptop, learning was easier and writing of project was made easier with the help of online libraries like Jstor and co but the drudgery and rigoriousness in doing a thorough project was not their.

I want to say, that a life without internet is imaginable, though we may view it as being stressful as a result of how we have wired our brain to view it. I may not be able to conclude this, watch out for Part 1b.

Happy birthday

I'm happy for him

When there is money...

You can bag anything you want

There are so many of his peers with such endowment who did not bag a 2:1, let alone a first class. This guy achieved a no mean feet. Let us encourage the young man by commending him.

What if he featured in different movies. Definitely he was one of the prominent actors acting in nollywood, yoruba and TV series as at that time. Only few actors had such versatility then, so he could be earning way better than his colleagues. U can't be sure..

You may be right, but 150k on 1994 was a big dough that time

livinbygrace:



Oboy calm down and listen to reality .Sola was one of the biggest actors in Nigeria then compare to Eucharia.They were not on the same level then.You children of nowadays you listen and learn about history from elders ,and not just to come online and starts type anything

okay now, you be baba tell us. since you are now the elder. if u called me a child of nowadays, brother abi sister explain to me now.
I don't even need to drag anything with you. Your contribution says it all. Don't worry I will reply u better later in the day. This is Monday morning, we go talk well later. Have a nice day

Some people will just talk nonsense and will expect their audience to believe them. As if the audience don't have cognition. Imagine Sola saying that he left acting of 150k for lecturing of 5k. The 150k is it monthly or annually. If annually, I may not be able to ascertain the veracity of that claim but if it's monthly, it's not true. Artist don't earn salary but by production. This is incredible.
How much were actors and actresses earning in 1994? Is not much now..... How much did Eucharia earn for her prostitu'te role in Glamour Girls. My dad bought a paper where Zack Orji and Eucharia were interviewed about their illicit role in the film, along the line Eucharia was asked the amount she was paid to act that movie and she said it. It was not much now but mega then but not up to 50k I suppose. What am I saying, 50bail, in 1994. That was huge. These are artist that played major role. I will get you the paper when I go back to Ibadan.

My point, Sola couldn't have been earning 150k in 1994. This I am sure of.

That is life for you. A friend won 850,000 in bet9ja. Showed his friend the ticket, the friend threw the ticket in his mouth and chew it. Such is life, that is the way human being behave.

I quite understand your grief, but then you cant deny her of her life and in her pursuit of better life. What matters is trust. Do you trust her?

What I don't appreciate about it is her ing the night in her ex abode. However, you just need to be a man. If she is jobless, you will call her a leech. So learn to trust her.

I wish them all the best in their future endeavours. The story just begin. My personal opinion about them is that they are still kids

Buhari is my friend

He can only be friend to someone like you. Smile

The man that knows his onion. Don Kwanun

Badly written statement.

Oh yeh king dat bleach. king of his village.

[quote author=Homeboiy post=69696093]The guy no smart


[/quote

He cant be smarter than that. He took a lady out on a date and the lady tried to order for food for her friends. Something more than what they are.

For me, I go zoooooooom. The guy did well.

Who cares!!!

He has the right to align with any party of his choice. Irrespective of the party he decides to align with, good luck to him. I am quite indifferent to it. APC's regime is filled with heartbreak and disappointment.

I know for sure that if Buhari is going to loose the forth coming election, his appointees contribute to it. It is high time he started having a rethink and toll the path of justice.

However, Saraki is not good either, in fact those politicians are doing all these political prostitution because of their own selfish end. They don't have the love of the masses at heart. Therefore, the masses should braze up and know who to vote for or who to represent them.

Buhari is a bastard, IGP is a rogue and Nigeria Police as a whole is a rogue.

Omisore the killer is jostling for governorship in Pain State. It means he will kill everybody in Osogbo. Iyiola the killer

In this hard time, selling of drug is lucrative. Man must survive. But it is rubbish to think of surviving with this kind of business.

it is a case of giving a dog a bad name in order to hang it. However, the Inspector General is also not a responsive officer . I think he should be more careful in his approach.

People are calling for scraping of SARS, he should have investigated that claim and fish out some bad element within SARS. SARS may be doing a laudable job, but some disgruntled element are destroying the good works of others

The children are just lying. They are running away from their responsibility.

There is no way we can compare Buhari to Kolinda. Even our Nigerian women can't be compared with her. Oyinbo's life is siimpler than Africa's.

How I wish my mum is still alive. How I wish she had spent extra ten years. How I wish she is here with me. Nne, I miss you.
