Okay, lets not say rich alone.. Let me say financially stable or rich. Can one become financially stable or rich in Nigeria without doing any thing shady? I look around me, everyone I know that is doing well financially is doing something illegal. Even the people who have jobs or businesses, including artisans and self employed people. Those who work as salary earners are making extra money from the company illegally. The artisans like Mechanics and Plumbers etc are putting extra money on materials and parts to make something extra. Mr. Lawyer and Mr. Judge are doing their own, collecting bribes and defending criminals. The businessman nkor? He is trying to outsmart and outplay his customers. The Igbo man at Ladipo selling spare parts will form alliance with mechanic to scam you and share the proceeds. The Yoruba guy that is a web designer or app developer will lie to you that hosting is $250, meanwhile he bought it at $21 with crypto on Namecheap. Don't lets talk about the airport. Everyone working at the airpot, from the carpark to checking and boarding will frustrate your life until you bribe them. Go to Ikoyi Registry, those women swearing the oath will not let you go until you drop money in their basket and tell you to your face they will not give you your certificate until you drop money. They say content creation is the new money making machine in Nigeria. But content creators will collect adverts from shady companies and deceive you to patronize them. Try to do business without mixing any illegality, the govt will frustrate you with bad light, bad road and high tax. Your business dies a natural death. Don't let's talk about Pastors, other religious leaders and the politicians. These ones are the grandmaster of scam. Yahoo Yahoo nkor? Everywhere you turn to is full of Yahoo boys. If you ask them, they will tell you they cant survive with a job of 80k per month. With 80k job when will they get married, buy a car or build a house or even take care of their parents? If you tell them not do Yahoo, the will turn to the street pointing guns in your face and rob you in broad day light. If you say you wont do anything illegal in Nigeria, you will seem to be struggling. You might not be able to meet up with bills and family demands. I know quite well that there are people who have made good money in Nigeria and are doing so well financially without engaging in illegal activities, but the percentage is very very low, so low that when you look around you, among the thousands of people you know, you will hardly find one person. Even that cool businessman most likely started his business with the proceeds of crime. So, can one easily become financially free in this country without going the illegal route? |

I have been worried for Senior man, wondering why he hasn't been playing. I thought it was even a personal beef with the coach. He's one of our most committed players. But he finally shined and he shined when it mattered most, scoring the decisive penalty that took us to the final. If he doesn't play a single minute again and we go on to win, he can wear his medal with pride and honour. 34 Likes 1 Share |

adioolayi: My thoughts exactly. The man knows that if Nigeria wins the cup, he could sell Nwa for as much as 5 million Euros which is a huge boost for an African club. Bids are already coming in for Nwa and lifting the cup will increase the value 2 Likes |

Words are not powerful. There is absolutely nothing in words. Its not your words that brought the child, its your foolishness and carelessness. Only action works! If words are powerful, a lot of religious people in Africa won't be wallowing in abject poverty. They name their kids Glory, Fortune, Favour, Riches and all sorts and they continue to speak some positive words into their lives. The children still grow up to be as poor as their parents. Anyway, at 22, especially in Nigeria, you have no business becoming a father. It a big mistake for you. Raising up a child in this terrain is no child's play. Aside the financial aspect which will drain you, you are not ripe mentally and emotionally. You should be enjoying your youthful years, hustling hard, making mistakes and learning from them. You should have aborted that baby by all means possible. But you don born now, nothing wey we go do. You will learn the hard way. Goodluck. PS: The truth will hurt you at first, but in the end, it will set you free 17 Likes 6 Shares |

And them shutting down today has strengthened the Naira a little. It was 1520 yesterday and now 1400 this morning. Let's see if it keeps going down before the close of business today. So its looking like they actually contribute to the hike. 55 Likes 8 Shares |

Naira will experience massive fall from this week. It closed at 950 on Friday and is currently 1030 this morning. It is expected to add at least 70 Naira per day. Next naira target is 2000 by November ending/Early December. What we witnessed last week was a bullish mirage. It happens every November. The Naira in your bank account will become useless. Go and use it to buy crypto or visit a mallam and buy real dollar. Want to doubt me? Save this post. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

People need to take a chill pill. Different people tap happiness from different sources. It is the little things of life that count the most. Who am I to blame someone who finds happiness in taking photos of food ordered at a restaurant. There are things that are just for women, and this is just one of them. This is photo reminds me of my wife and I love her for it. 43 Likes 3 Shares |

Nigerians, una dey funny me o. Pronouncing Obi or Atiku winner of the election will spell doom for Nigeria. There will be civil war, if the civil war will lead to our disintegration, I would have loved it, but nope it won't. We will only suffer for nothing. Economy crumbled, lives lost and what-nots. This is the reason: If tribunal rules in favour of Obi, Lagos will scatter. And when there is problem in Lagos, there is problem in the whole country. Oluomo and his boys will invade Alaba, Tejuosho, Ladipo and burn shops and businesses, butcher and slaugter Igbo boys like fowl. The Igbo people in the east will retaliate and attack Yoruba people in their region. Hausas will bring out their dagger and decide whose side they want to be on. If Tribunal rules in favour of Atiku: Yoruba and Igbo people will attack the Hausas in Lagos and the East, They will cry foul. Hausa people will finish all of them in the North. There will be pandemonium all over the North. And trust the Northerners. Them like fight well well. If Tribunal rules in favour of Tinubu, everyone will move on. Only few complain here and there for a few days and thats it. Everyone is somehow already accepting their fate with Tinubu, so its nothing new. If Tribunal says rule for re-election, there will be wastage of resources. We will spend a fortune on this. The president and his ministers and all the govt officials will lose focus on fixing the economy and everyone will be about the election. And we will move backwards again. There will also be massive rigging again, and this time, the man with the most money will win, and we know who that is. Tinubu will win by massive landslide. He will rig the hell out of every state and buy everyone all over again. My verdict: Tribunal should leave Tinubu alone. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
