I spent 300k on a project and still got a B. My friend spent 50k and got the same mark. I later realised that my supervisor is the one who claims the credit for the work.

Getting money is hard and maintaining it is even harder, as such we must be very careful as to how we spend it.

So I was discussing with a friend and he told me the biggest amount of money he has ever lost in his life was when he bought a car of 3million Naira after saving for like 3 years, and he didn't use the car for up-to 3 months before he got involved in an accident that almost claimed his life with the car.

I laughed and told him mine was when I used 100,000 to play betting and lost the money while in my university days. Lessons learnt from him was that car is never an investment instead he should have invested the money, mine was that gambling never pays at all...

Guys please share yours lets all learn and be enlightened

N30 in 2008 from Opebi link bridge to Clay bustop - I gave the Conductor Wazo and decided to stop at Clay because i saw a friend I had not seen in donkey years.. the conductor pretended to look for my change as I came down but the bus just drove off with my mouth opened

Not saying you shouldn't document your transactions but I assure you, even with documentation, your "friend" would still have shafted you.

Good friends pay regardless of documents.

Lost almost 1.4 million in a 6 month period trying to chase my losses in betting. Money was not even mine. The wonderful woman forgave me and gave me time to pay back. Been feeling depressed but I have to pay her back no matter what. Please gambling is dangerous. A tough lesson in my life

They are so numerous to mention. is it the 70k i invested in MMM or my 55k I lost trying to play one sure 3 odds, abi the money I take buy some gadgets when I no Dy even too use like smart watch and headpiece. Las Las nobody is perfect. you must at one time in your life spend or loose money on frivolities. but the one I'm always careful is spending money on a gal not related to me. my conscience Dy beat me for that one, because anytime I wan mumu, my mind will call me to order. I remembered when I wanted to give a gal 5k for hair after winning 24k for bet, my mind now told me to call my mom and I did and I asked if she needed anything and she said no and I just asked her to send her account number for me to check something and I transferred 7k to her. I'm not wicked or stingy, just that some heartbreaking stories I read everyday online Dy vex me.
dah mama part caught me, it shall be well with you.
