Then what will the lady bring to the table?

I don't even have a table to share with some sets of people. So I don't bother to ask them what they bring to the table.

Righthussle:
Stop talking rubbish and remove them from the .

Thank you o.

They are threatening to arrest underage voters - something that can never ever happen up North. Audio arrest

Ogaga87:
So it's now rental for life..

I hope the decision will be review in the future..

Anyways, one slap for money laundering

Why is it rental for life? The law shouldn't bother ordinary or normal people. The law does not stop a permanent resident (or "foreigners" with Canadian citizenship) from buying a house. Come to think of it, If you get money there are dozens of way to meet the requirement.

falcon01:
It's a surprise that the whole of your surroundings, no one can help you with 3k! It's either
1. You are lying
2. You are not a good person
3. Everybody near you is not a good person.
So which one is it?

hmmm...... My broster (brother or sister ), it is better we keep quiet and simply move on when we see stories like this o. What if everyone around them is poor? We have seen people lose their loved ones because of 5K. The level of poverty in the land is just too much. Na only God fit save us.

Brendaniel:
Emilokan! Emilokan!! Aunty wey don cast. She dey shout Emilokan

I'm not ing you to yab anyone o. I dey waka but I just say make I check whether your lyrics go enter the tune.

Hardy123:
I'm very much versed in the law. Thank you. All my years of existence, I've never heard of don't smoke weed and drive. Its Always don't drink and drive.

The warning is not there because weed is "illegal". The same way they won't tell you "don't use hard drugs and drive". In climes where cannabis (weed) is legal, they will show adverts that advice against driving when you're high and of course "highness" may come from several sources. Then like someone said, once you're caught driving under the influence, you're in for a big thing. It doesn't even matter if you used prescription drugs

Mazinewmoney:
From which state in particular

Be careful and make sure you get it through genuine means. Some countries will accept your document ONLY AFTER verification. They have a process of ing the issuing authority to or authenticate the document you submitted.

TBH. I NEED HELP

VladimirPutiin:
Many folks wrongly think Nlanders are mostly poor. Their are lots of rich folks here. I have meant a few but they don’t talk. They just come here, observe and somethings drop comments. And one last thing, they act like poor people.

Crazy but funny truth about life. very confusing though - poor try to live like they're rich (extra rich self), the rich act like poor. The real rich folks don't make noise about their wealth.

Jennyclay:
Broke men everywhere!!

Ladies should learn how to stay away from broke men. Broke men are the worst species living on earth. Puke!!

You got it totally wrong. What he did had nothing to do with being broke.

It is childish, immature and vindictive. Problem with that mindset is that when people like this come into some fortune, money or power, the first agenda will be how to pepper all his enemies rather than how to grow and contribute positively. You can imagine the problem that will raise for their partners/family.

1. My mentor got this 1 wrong. I don first my mates hammer. Na grace sha.



2. Do you think that is a good idea?
Please let me know. Thanks

Chairman,

1. Your mentor was not wrong. He said "what if ...?" He just painted a scenario and gave you a reason to be humble unfortunately, you didn't follow his advice.
2. No it was not a good idea like some folks here have mentioned. E get why some people will always donate anonymously. Again, you're not better than the people you ranted about. Na all of you dey try show off.
3. Don't be surprised if someone that gave 10 or 20K in that reunion ends up giving much more than they announced or even more than you. It is called discretion.
4. Finally, be humble. From your narration, 500K still seems like a big amount for your income, which is around 1M (max) going by your narration. When people see you giving 500K, they assume you're making that much in a day or a few days at most and they will come at you with requests. Unless if you're trying entrap/entice/impress people, I think you should relax and enjoy your money quietly.

RedChiefPriest:
Hmmm lol
Some of you men are funny for real
You don't believe you deserve good things but you sha have to slave for you to be a real man.
Na why I like women,they sabi how to make you treat them well and enjoy life .

Buy charger every week because she's going to spoil her charger?
Charge the powerbanks because she will just come and use anyone when she needs it?
Does that even look sane to you? When mama spoil charger 2 times,she will start buying her own.
When you use up the battery of the power bank,why won't you charge it? Na mumu thing be that.
Helping out in the kitchen is cool actually, you talk and bond more self unless she does not approve.
Helping out around the house is sane also,they don't have to tell you that one.
With all the epistles written above, a man is to do this and do that,what should the woman do for the man?
No gift for the man,nothing to make his own life easy from the wife ba? Oh! I forgot,as a man slave for the family and make sure your wife is happy or else you're not a real man .
God punish the society definition of a real man.

Dj! Plenty kegs of palmwine for me and other people interested
Barman! Play me "Manipulated Man" by Joseph Yobo and Kim Kardashian.

We really do not have to put other people down in order to be heard. That "foolish" man just shared his experience of 30 years of marriage. Some of us pray and wish to be like him someday (folly, slavery, servitude and all). I guess it will look as if I'm insulting you if I insinuate that I expect you to be associated with marriage in any way but if you do not want what he has, you can simply ignore it or share your own experience and tell us what has worked for you in your relationships.

ChizzyBuna:
I have never seen a man that is controlled by his wife like my dad.
To the point if my mom does something wrong, he will cover up for her and apologize to her. The thing dey vex me
My mum is a master manipulator, and my dad is a very terrible simp.

She shouts at him and sometimes disrespect him infront of us but he will do nothing.
I had an altercation with my mum last night and my father without hearing my own side of the story decided to side my mum.
And said i should kneel down to her and apologize.

I told him to his face that over my dead body will never do that.
Out of anger i told him that age dosent mean wisdom that as old as he is.
That him being my father dosent mean he is wiser than me.
I told him that He is still being used like tool by my mum. And can't realize this

It didn't go well
He hasn't spoken to me throughout today

My brother, leave them o. As long as you can not confirm that your mom is cheating on your father and/or if you can not confirm that your mom is using juju on him and/or that your mom is behaving like that because she hold pepper Daddy, biko just dey your dey make dem dey their own dey. Sometimes 3rd parties (children inclusive) will not understand the dynamics of a relationship or what made power to change hands. My own wife does not disrespect me but if she does (I pray not), there are some things I will that will make me ignore the disrespect. You may not know the whole story.

I beg you in the name of God, you don't need to agree with your father but please go and beg your mom like he said. Even if he doesn't say anything, his soul will bless you for honoring him and making him happy. One day, you will understand. If I am wrong, what do you stand to lose?

Take heart and do this one thing - every time you think you see something wrong in their marriage, always use that opportunity to tell God what you want in your own marriage.

I'll conclude with an old saying that says "By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong". I wish you all the best.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
He's just a baby..you should be glad he left ya for good..me feel ya.. I mean the bond and all..but me still feel that any dude who can't handle rejection shouldn't be there in the first place..

focus pan yuhself as yuh seh a tap bothering yourself..the issue shouldn't badda yuh cos yuh did wah yuh feel did right..and mi si no reason wah mek yuh should feel bad bout it..
^Understood?

How is one supposed to handle rejection? By hanging around the person that rejected you? I am textbook simp. I have several female friends with no strings attached. Of course I also have several acquaintances that we both know our boundaries. However, if any of them starts behaving as if I need to give them gap, then I will give them plenty of it. I will still be their friends just that I'll be friends from a good, safe distance that can not be misinterpreted by either party.

KimFab:
No, she doesn't love you.

She moved on and upgraded, and she wants to show you.
If you were richer or finer than the current man, she would not invite you.

My thoughts, anyway.

Don't try some babes o.... If he was richer or finer than the current man, some babes would still invite and/or beg for financial .

As I dey listen to the guy interview, fear catch me small when dem ask am how he been dey practice. I dey fear make he nor come talk say "I been dey practice freekicks since I was 17".

Blake755:
Doubt can make you lose opportunity

Opportunity once lost can never be regained. That's why we all need to make hays while the sun shines.

teameyes:
wonderfully crafted women bodies all over social media

Media appearances not withstanding, Nigerian politicians know where and how they meet to resolve their differences. Nigerian politics is all about "the more you look the less you see". The earlier we know this, the happier we shall be. Investing emotions on their entanglements, alignments and misalignments is not a profitable venture.

Ndibuna:

Afonjaa be proud of your skull mining region. No igbo man will vote against his brother at this time against the same northern people you claim are destroying igbos. Afonjaaa skull miner

I'm not interested in Nigerian politics beyond the comic relief that comments like yours give me. If the bolded statement is true, where did all the Igbo votes go when Atiku won the primaries? How many Igbo delegates were at the primaries? How many votes did all the Igbo aspirants get?

The earlier laymen like us face realities, the better for us. I lost faith in Igbo Presidential aspirations when Ojukwu could not even get Igbo votes in a presidential election. Nigerian politics is the more you look, the less you see.

anyways what do I know? Let me go and play ludo, at least I can understand the game.

Supreme145:
It's not in my nature to bother about people's relationships but this is happening to someone that's like a brother to me. He has been dating a girl for a year now and it's obvious this girl doesn't love him but he won't just give up. He keeps throwing money at her in a bid to win her love.

Things got messier when this girl met a particular guy some months back... This guy happens to live in the compound of my club mate so I know him well. The girl has begged my guy to free her that she's in love with someone else but this guy no gree instead he's planning to attack the innocent guy.

He confided in me that the girl has not let him touch her since she met this other guy, that's over five months now. I once overhead the guy boasting to his friends that he's a redpiller because someone else is taking care of his girlfriend while he does the knacking free of charge. He's even flexing everything that my guy buys for the girl.
All pleas to my guy to free this girl has fallen on deaf ears.

My club mate told me that the girl has been with the guy for over one month now, my guy comes to town once a week to see the girl, gets her stuffs and this girl will just go back to the other boy that is even jobless.

My guy is finer and far richer than this new guy, he's planning to start a business for this girl and I've been trying to change his mind to no avail. It's no longer normal, I would've said he's charmed but the girl has begged him to free her but he refused. The guy is even the one flexing the sample of the products he sent her. Everything she has done to drive him has failed so she just relaxed and enjoying the money.

This simping is on another level, it hurts me to see my guy in this kinda situation. I've gotten him picture proofs that the girl is cheating but he won't change his mind. The girl even itted that she's been having sex with the guy buy he's claiming its a lie and the girl is trying to drive away.

Is there anything I can do to help him abeg.

Based on your narrative, you should be asking how to save your friend from himself and his folly, not from the woman. You did not tell us how the woman is manipulating your friend. Abi you dey think say the woman don lock your friend inside bottle (to control his mind) come dey pretend like say her hand no dey?

Please don't call him a simp. Some of us that are SIMPle by nature will not even do some things.

MadamVanessa:



My sugar daddy then get jealous because I dumped his fucken ass and dilapidated body to a more young and rich dude, and he tries to embarrassed me by collecting the car he got me, the next two days after collecting the 2010 model Toyota Corolla, I got myself 2018 model Lexus 350. He ended up so embarrassed and so pained.

I believe the question is asking employees to talk about former employers. From your response, it sounds like you are an entrepreneur talking about your customers. We wish you more sales.

Sixfiguresmart:
Happy to get an oil and gas job. Dream come true. Everything was perfect with me. 3 years into my job, a new boss showed up. A light skin Nigerian male. His wife and kids were in Canada. I visit the gym 3x per week.

He requested to go to the same gym. Pretended to work out and asked that I mentored him. It all happened fast. I thought he was responsible as he was married. He started touching my body inappropriately. Caressing my chest holding my arms. Thought he was enamored by the muscles only. I would somehow break him off and redirect him to the session.

Then, after work it was about meeting me, talking to me, confiding in me. Initially, I was happy to build a close relationship with a boss. Of course, that's my career growth right there.

Not until, this night, he invited me over to his lounge. As soon i arrived, he undressed to a G-string, I was dazed for real. He tried to kissed me. I blocked it. Then, came the love, the feeling, and sex plea. So, I took my leave quickly. Felt disappointed and betrayed. I told no one but my bestie who laughed over it and made a mockery of the whole thing. Telling me that he would have busted his ass for the money.

All I needed was my job and no drama. He advanced toward me several times. Showered me with expensive stuff. I rejected everything he offered. I couldn't shake him anymore, no hugs, nothing. I felt truly perplexed cos he was very connected and has brothers and relatives in top positions in Chevron. I met with him, talked to him man to man politely. He told me he had been in it since he was 14. I asked him if he would love that life for his kids. He said, no! So, I told him that I have a faith, a conscience and a commitment to my God. That I would not entertain homosexuality. So, after more attempts, the hate set in.

Well, my final year in Chevron was horrendous until i finally got axed 17 months after my new boss showed up. I moved on with my dignity but with a bigger lesson in life. I kept it a secret for many years. Only my bestie new about it.

Many men are victims. People hardly believe the few who cry out. Many will question the authenticity of my history and blame me afterall. Making it harder for the next man to come out.

Many argue that they will beat, hit, or punch a man for advancing toward them. There are consequences. Read your room. Justice hardly comes in a world of injustice. Sometimes, the best thing to do is walk away.

I'm not saying you're lying o but most of those big companies (especially in oil and gas) do not sack people indiscriminately like that. It's not a one man company. Where was your NUPENG or PENGASSAN when this happened? You could be made to remain on the same grade for long but sacking/termination does not come easily like that unless you steal or commit acts of violence. That's why people dey wan die inside those multinationals once dem put head. Even if dem no promote you, salary go still dey rest for .

Like I said, I just talk my own o. I no talk say you dey lie.

Calibrator:
Entitlement attitude is a progress blocker..... Doubt if you will notice your brother's cold shoulder if you are doing well yourself.

I don't blame him for cutting off dead weights.

They may not be deadweights o. Like the OP said, money is not everything. After my first degree, I can't ever worrying about where my next meal will come from. I think that describes a basic level of comfort. However, I have people in my life that break my heart steady when I see or their attitude to me and the rest of the family. I'm heartbroken when I how we grew up versus how they have kept their distance from the rest of us even though I don't need anything from them or at least I don't need any money from them.

Some people just have problems with family either because they are being manipulated by someone else, some hidden personal problems or for reasons we can't explain.

lovediehatelive:
Okay guys, sometimes a lady might be forming too hard to get, and for many guys nowadays, they don't waste much time and move on to the next girl who surprisingly won't suffer him that much.

However, there are some guys that will still keep on disturbing the girl playing hard to get, and it might take several months, before she finally accepts.

Such relationship will create the impression that the guy loves the girl more, and some ladies could use this to pepper the guy. Well, some might turn out to love the guy wholeheartedly.

The question is for guys, how did the relationship go? Sweet, one-sided or you totally regret it?

Please share your experiences.

Na she dey my house now . Thank God I didn't give up. Actually I did, but God rearranged our paths to cross and we were actually a little more mature by then. Only God knows what would have happened if I didn't marry her. We have a little more than 2 decades of marriage behind us, as we look forward to much more wonderful years ahead.

I be champion SIMP for this one babe.

HenryDion:
At the age of 27, it's as if I've achieved that which many are struggling for daily.

The funny aspect is, I'm not as happy as I imagined it.

This isn't how I envisioned success to be.

Was it overhyped?

I can get whatever I want, and this has made me lose the taste of life in general.

There's no challenge...

Everything now seems too easy and boring


Those who finally became financially free, where did you find your motivation to keep enjoying life?

Especially when there's no thrill, challenges, no hustling?

Have been considering going back to school, for a second degree.

Will it give me that sense of challenge?

How do you enjoy life when you can get whatever you want without looking at the price tag?

You raised many issues but let me clarify ahead that I don't have all the answers and this is just my personal opinion and outlook about life.
1. Success and happiness are personal and relative. They tend to be overhyped if you don't have your personal definitions for these. From what you have written above, it doesn't sound like you're as rich as Dangote or Otedola but you are smart enough to acknowledge that you have tried for yourself.

2. The bible says that a man's life does not consist in the abundance of things which he possesses. Some other folks also said life is not measured by what we have but what we have been able to give. Try giving more, Not for clout chasing or to people that need it to oppress others or to people that you owe or to people that you are hoping will repay you at some point down the line. Try going to the local market and pay double for what the poor market woman is asking. Pay for the random person that is pricing and haggling like his/her price depends on it. Give the beggar a 500 naira or 1000 naira note when he was only expecting a 100 naira note. Help that relative that has almost given up hope. board a keke in your area and pay for all the engers.

3. Talking about challenges/motivation - what line of business are you into? Have you reached the pinnacle of your career? What about expansion projects for your company? To me, that sounds like some challenge you may want to explore. You already mentioned additional degree - excellent idea.

4. Above all, take a step back and identify things that your heart would have loved to do and try to do them. This is not to encourage a lascivious lifestyle but rather to do the simple things of life that you may have desire but unable to accomplish when you didn't have enough money.

Na RCCG.
If you want to be discreet, you should not have mentioned that pastors are changed 4 to 5 years naah!

It doesn't have to be RCCG. na so dem dey change pastors for my church too.

Mummyfour:
oya whisper into my ears naah!! Wetin be the other arrangements?

madam, don't turn yourself into an accomplice o. Once you hear, you can not unhear.

BigSarah:
Well there you go, you can't make the earnings of cosmopolitan states exclusive that's just common sense

Lagos
Rivers
Kano
Ogun
Kaduna
Delta

Are significantly cosmopolitan, but then again the sharing formula should be fairer and reasonable than it currently is..

I don't know the VAT thingie works self and I was almost agreeing with him, but then I ed that most of the wealth of Switzerland is built on foreign politicians' deposits in Swiss Banks. Do they come back to share their profit with their client's countries of origin?

Does the state also control VAT generated from Federal establishments?

sunrise234:
If you have HSE DM Their is job opportunity here in my company

Sir, do you mind if you help answer part of the OP's question by giving an idea of the qualifications you are looking for and a salary range.

simonsays:
Hello Naira landers,

I looked up the cost of enrollment for HSE 1-3. It's almost around 400K. Considering the economy, is it wise to spend that kind of money on training?

How lucrative is having a HSE certificate in the job market?

Which jobs are readily available for HSE holders?

As a thoroughbred Nigerian, I will start by answering your simple question with plenty questions. Why do you need the HSE certificate? What is the end game? What is your background? Do you have a current offer or do you have anyone showing you the way? Which country or part of the world are you going?

Now back to your questions:

simonsays:

is it wise to spend that kind of money on training?

It is a risk. In my opinion, If you can afford it and you have other skills, it may not be a bad idea. If you struggle to put the money together and you're planning to travel out, it may be worth it. If you can't afford it and you know nothing about the field apart from the name, the risk gets even bigger. Unless if you have other plans sha.

simonsays:
How lucrative is having a HSE certificate in the job market?

Make I talk true, I'm totally clueless about this part. Job postings that I have seen for HSE positions require more than 2 or 3 weeks of HSE training.

simonsays:
Which jobs are readily available for HSE holders?

There are HSE Professionals and there are folks (especially engineers) that take such courses as an add-on to the feathers in their cap as they practice their profession or to increase their scope of influence within their organization.

In my opinion, HSE certificate alone can not help you if you do not have other skills to build on. This includes some education (I'm not just talking about degree here) and lots of soft skills, especially people management (I do not mean management skills o, but the art of dealing with all kinds of people - especially people that do not want to comply with what you have been told to enforce).

In some basic HSE roles, you get trained (on top of your certificate) and you only need to do what you're told - fire watch, safety watch, confined space watch, etc. In some other roles, you need to be very familiar with regulations, policies or even the trade you are working with. Of course, the path to get to these roles will be significantly different.

juman:


She is right.
Almost all nigerian men could commit legal rape.

It depends on the circles you find yourself, but then "Almost all" is still a better description than "ALL".

saphiere:
Dear men, may I know what joy you derived from sleeping with minors?

Is it every man that you know in your life that has slept with minors?

saphiere:

If the meaning of rape is having sexual intercourse against a person's wish, then all Nigerian men are rapists. Permit me to say so.

You did not say MOST or MANY. ALL? That is rather too generic. There are always exceptions.
