Two mediocre teams. One luckily won.

Fixed match.

Certainly, you and your kind have never seen 5 million in your , so it makes sense you can't grasp the value of money in huge form. Here you are trivializing over a billion naira worth of theft like it's nothing, all because 'family over everything' as if your childish opinion even belongs in the conversation.

blowjohn:
Imagine locking up ur brother because of money.

That's the most advanced form of madness.

And these are role models?


These are the worst set of criminals.


Lock up ur own blood because of money?

Big shame. The people ing this have mental issues

Gosh!! Next time you quote me, make sure it's worth replying to and maybe do it with a shred of class.

Ode! Who's this nonentity?

I'm talking about what's practical in the reality of today, this ful is saying dogshit.

I guess you didn't look well before saying nonsense. Who's making excuse? I didn't rise from nothing to become what I am today on the back of excuses. I know a pile of dogshit motivational crap when I see one.

What life advice does someone like Davido or Dangote have for the poor kids living in Makoko? They've never lived their experience, so where is advice coming from? Someone like Olamide has much more inspiration to offer them, because he lived a reality that's exactly or similar to theirs? Or take someone like Bukola Saraki who was asked to share a story of his most miserable moment in life and he said it was a day one tire of his car busted while driving on the highway and he had to change it. Now tell me what kind of genuine life advice Bukola Saraki can offer to inspire Makoko kids. Someone like Osimhen is best suited to inspire them instead - because he lived their reality before raising to fame.

Someone like Osimhen will not tell the typical Nigerian to "live life to the fullest because their expectation might never happen" because he was once dirt poor hustling pure water in Lagos traffic before his breakthrough. If Osimhen took the foolish forex guy advice and lived "large on his little hawking income" - which implies he gives up his dream of becoming a professional footballer, you won't ever know a footballer called Victor Osimhen today - he might currently be living in a pako slum house in Lagos Island presently. Such silly motivational crap won't even come from him because he's currently hustling in the Turkish league like someone still in the trenches. Do you know what it means for a pundit had to call out a superstar footballer like Osimhen because he doesn't run a harem of baddies and doesn't club? I want to assume you are a broke nigga who doesn't have any direction in life or haven't accomplished anything tangible in life. Or perhaps you are still a "mummy, I never chop" boy.

You lack comprehension skill. Oponu!

Keep making excuses. Osimhen’s, Olamide’s, and Wizkid’s kids no longer starting from scratch. They’re now building generational wealth. Same goes for the ones you’re busy criticizing. The game changed and you’re still stuck explaining.

EponObi:


Here comes the typical hypocritical, motivational delusion of the rich again.

Lmaooo. You had an old Volkswagen to sell to kickstart your ceramics business in the university. Back then, how many of your school mates or lecturers had a Volkswagen vehicle to start with it?

Today, how many youths even have 100k not talk of 200k to kickstart their life dreams?

Walahi, I hate listening to life advice from people born with silver spoon.

I'd rather listen to an Olamide, Wizkid, or Osimhen than a Davido because we all know Olamide rose from ground zero; Osimhen sold pure water in Lagos traffic to survive. People like this Femi should rather be advicing folks like Kidwayya because their life journeys resonate.

I'd rather read an autobiography by Andrew Carnegie than Bill Gates because I resonate with Carnegie, as someone who came from nothing.

Some time ago, I read a tweet by one Forex guy on X. He was telling people to better live their lives to the fullest and not put their lives on hold because things are not working for them (see screenshot). This is coming from someone who hustled his way to the top and I saw many of his simp followers agreeing with him; these are people who nod to anything he says because of giveaway and they have a fetish of guming body to people they perceive rich on social media. No one bothered to ask the forex guy if he always live his life to fullest when he was in the trenches?

The tweet wasn't only delusional, but it ignores context, reality, and privilege.

"Living life to the fullest" - what does this mean to someone earning 30k, or the vast majority of Nigerians who doesn't have 500k in their (this is fact btw and the stat was from pre-Tinubu era)? What does this means to a civil servant father of 3, who runs around the clock to settle bills, put food on the table, take care of his kids' education, clothing etc, with nothing left in savings at the end of the month? Or struggling small to mid scale business men/women jumping from one loan to another to keep business afloat? Or a fresh young graduate begging all over twitter for a laptop to kickstart his freelancing journey? Or the young under-25 lady looking for 200k to kickstart her baking business?

"Never put your life on hold because things aren’t working." This assumes that people have control over their circumstances. For a typical Nigerian, life is automatically on hold because financial reality dictates survival mode, not (read: never) enjoyment mode. The system isn’t giving them choices; it's boxing them into day-to-day survival.

"Your expectations might never happen, so what happens to all the wasted years?" E dey very easy for him to say now as him don already escape the trenches. For the typical Nigerian, what’s the alternative? Give up entirely? What idiots like the forex guy don't understand is that people aren’t wasting years; they’re fighting to stay afloat in a world/system that doesn’t favor them.

This Femi and the forex guy, their motivational dug shit doesn't apply to the majority in the Nigeria context of today. They're literally telling a drowning man to "just swim up".

Keep it up guys. As usual, it's business over there.

Listen to yourself. That type of survival equals to poverty. A poor man has no choice but to survive on whatever he's given, enough or not.

DaddyCoool:
No true because people make N100K ($65) a month in Nigeria and they survive without any govt assistance

They will increase it and certainly you citizens will do nothing. So what?

You're just an ordinary boyfriend. She has every right to deny you.

Other senators should get prepared. If she's removed, you guys played own goal.

419.

It's shameful majority of us don't have balls, and that's one of the reasons so many people are stuck in poverty - zero willingness to take risk or go to extreme lengths to achieve their goals. So they settle for less, and praying for what they ought to fight for. When you see people destroying your country with bad policies, the only move left is to silent them. I’m damn sure there’s nothing wrong with that especially if it means safeguarding the nation’s wealth from thieves called politicians.

💯. If you don't get involved in your son's life while growing, you don't deserve to reap where you didn't sow. You're just a sperm donor like any man out there, not the real father.

Karleb:
You can't be a deadbeat and expect to reap where you did not sow.

The risk isn't worth it. Since you're short of funds, package yourself very well and use a safer route which is online dating. After all, na data e go chop. When you get there, if it works fine and if it doesn't, you've achieved your goal. No be today man and woman dey go separate ways. Use sense plan your life, and minimize risk. There’s no need to gamble going through Sahara when you can make more calculated choices and win.

Wetin be this?

That woman is obviously a manipulator. All the cards she just playing smh.

She had a chance to expose Akpabio with something weighty if there was any, instead she was just trying to play on our emotions with nonsense. I was in his house and he said to to me we can have a good time together :- - ehn ehn did you say “no” and he forced himself on you? Mschew

Look at you now, fat and out of shape.

Na mor.on.

blowjohn:


Give 3 ways the upgrade in appointments can be beneficial to the citizens

It appears you've been scamming Nigerians.

Of what use is this nonsense?

The same men who once shamed women for being jobless and dependent on them are now pissed off seeing a woman who built herself up, with a successful career and high standards. At her level, she won't settle for just any man with little or no value beyond just being called a man.

Don't marry? Just have children? That doesn't make any sense. One way or the other, you're still paying bills.

Mopeola:
This is what he's trying to say

This nonsense is a deliberate strategy by the northern political elites. It's like a game of numbers designed to hold Nigeria hostage. Their agenda is to keep increasing the population in their regions to influence elections. The vote from just one northern state can outweigh the combined votes of four southern states. These illiterates hold the power to decide who rules Nigeria, and they’ve been doing it ruthlessly.

It's arranged. Still better than being in Nigeria wasting away where you can't boast of a small corolla car @40 or even a plot of land let alone getting married or having children.

mecuries:
I hope his parents aren't expecting any grandchildren from this union

Explain "use"

Don't impregnate a lady if you don't have some savings to avoid shame and disgrace. Nowadays, most births are CS. The cost at a regular hospital is not less than 400K, and that's without any complications. You can't be cruel to a newborn by feeding them only pap as there won't always be enough breast milk. A good baby formula small sma costs around 13K, and it can be finished in just five days, even with the of breast milk. Y'all in for it.

Food don land for jobless Nigerians. This should keep you engaged for awhile.

Nah!! I'm definitely giving it out at the event.
