That's the World we Live in ..

She is a Victim of the Evils and Wickedness of the Endtimes..

Probably a Victim of these Workers of iniquity in the Name of Money by all Means .They Probably have Lured her, Bottled and Calabashed her Destiny and Left Her to Her fate

Or She is a Victim of Evil Projections, Enchantments and incantations..

The Times are Dangerously Dangerous.
It is a Risk to Live Life anyhow.
It is a Risk to be in the middle.
It's a Risk to be Neither here nor there.

It is a Risk to Live without JESUS. Any Nonsense Could Hit and Wipe you out..

Family / Re: 23, With A Million In Savings, Move Out Or Stay With Family? by 6by8long: 4:37pm On Aug 21, 2020
AltMon:
So I saw a post on the front page and it very much related to me, except that there are a few other factors to consider, I've been in a dilemma for some time and went through many of the comments on the aforementioned thread and majority suggests he stays back in his parents house, so I have come to ask for advice due to the slight but important differences in our situations.

So I am 23, turning 24 soon, I moved to Lagos in 2016 and have been staying with my father's immediate elder brother who stays in a 3 bedroom apartment somewhere on the island, he is a Reverend and is known very well in the community and so is very respected, I on the other hand will consider myself a disciplined fella, i keep my circle close, have very few friends, do not drink nor smoke, I don't party and not really the very social extroverted person, I have a girlfriend whom I intend to settle down with in like 4 years to come, she is not the overly expensive type, in fact, she rarely ever asks for cash as she is into her own business and her family is a bit comfortable too, so I do not part with cash too often for her sake.

I am done with schooling and ever since, I told myself that I will never submit my cv anywhere, and God has been gracious, I did my internship in an organization back in 2016 and after I was done, I was offered a job, the pay is not fantastic but very okay, I am paid 50k monthly but I am not needed daily at the office, I only go to the office 3 times a week and spend at most 4 hours. I also have a side hustle which I can call my main hustle cos it brings the most income, i earn about 150-300k monthly after expenses, it has been consistent ever since I started over 6 months ago.

Now here is my problem. The area where my uncle's house is are constantly having light problems, in fact, in the last 3 years, we have not enjoyed light for an accumulated period of 4 months, it is one problem to the other, as I speak, next month will make it 1 year without light in the community, it's gen noise everywhere in the night, and due to the nature of my job, I have to run the gen an average of 12-14 hours daily and that alone gulps about 8-10k weekly, due to what my uncle is into, he is not always home, he is always traveling around, he has never spent 2 consecutive weeks home (except during the Corona period) so I feed myself, I cook myself and all, I am mostly alone 90% of the time.

Now, due to my uncle's reputation in the community, my girlfriend can not visit me, we can't spend time together, etc, aside these problems, I am just fine staying with my uncle, he doesn't complain, he sees me as his son as he has no other child, we are more like friends as we gist and laugh, he knows I have a girlfriend and I am sure he will have no problem with me bringing her home, but I don't just feel comfortable with it myself. I have been able to save up a little above a million naira, my sister advised that I get a land in my home state but I feel it is useless right now as I do not have any intention of staying in my home state now. So considering all these expenses and troubles, I am considering moving out and getting a little self contain apartment for not more than 250k in an area with more stable power, I have been thinking about it and don't know if it is a good move to make at this point in my life.

I apologize for any typos you may come across in my writeup, I'm not such a great writer.

I am also a known member of this forum, I opened this account just for the sake of this topic as I intend to keep my identity private for some reasons.

Thanks.

Lalasticlala please help me out.



I'm a fellow freelancer like you (I work on Fiverr). Was in same shoes as you few years ago.

Dude, you don't need to move out. That 250k you intent spending on for new accommodation is enough to get a solar inverter that would serve you well (I spent less than that and I'm enjoying it till date


If you think your girlfriend is more important than your hustle to you for now. Then rent an apartment

IWillSueYou:


thank you very much

I was thinking it will not work because obviously
You cannot verify the the card, like you cannot get authentication token and I was right.

You can verify and get a PayPal verification code on barter But you can't withdraw to the card... That's what I mean

I am hoping to withdraw my paypal funds from my Lesotho account, but I don't know if anyone has used barter and it worked?

I'm afraid I will be forced to pay $2 for activation fee and card will not work

Car Talk / Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by 6by8long: 7:56pm On Jul 04, 2020
I'm still holding on my interest in w204.

Can 3m to 3.5m get me a better c300?. I read some say I should run away from 4matic.

Some say facelift is the best (from 2012 model).

I'm not sure there's any 2012 non 4matic. Besides, 3.5m can't get 2013 or 2014 c300 non 4matic toks.

I'm in delima.

Budget is 3m to 3.5m
And 500k for Total maintenance costs (yearly).

I'm planning to drive the car for 2 years max.


Please your suggestions are needed.

Just go for the 2010 c300

Can you tell me why?
Car Talk / Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by 6by8long: 6:27pm On May 25, 2020
I have a budget of 3.5m for c300/c350 toks for my first car. (I love the W204 body)

I consider affordable maintenance over fuel efficiency. I read somewhere that 4matic should be avoided at all costs.

Which year Benz then is right for me @3.5m max for a single guy?


What should I look out for?

Please don't recommend another brand, it's either Benz or I trek.

Thanks

chillex8:

I use 1hp window unit in my 1-bedroom bachelor apartment. Only me dey hide inside duvet for night.
I want to believe Hp is directly proportional to cooling space.

And since you want to use with your generator, try 1hp.

Hope your generator is full copper? E.g thermocool or original Honda/tiger from Japan....

Not all these yeye elepak, constant, e.t.c cheesy

Elepon..

obisite:



1- A good 1 HP is supposed to be OK.. If the room is not more than 12/12 or say 14/14 with closed range..and also considering your gen...
Exclude use of gen with it...

2... Will advice you just add 10-15k, get a new 1hp AC with inverter.. To avoid story from UK used

Anything above 1hp... Be ready for the gen expense.. Hence you get a gen of higher KVA for above 1hp AC

When too much load overpower gen.. It affects n brings the gen close to grave...

Thanks I appreciate.... I think I'd settle for 1hp
