PEOPLE DON’T KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE IT IS TO BE POOR
Imagine losing a loved one because you couldn’t afford medication as basic as an inhaler .
Imagine losing your fingers to a milling machine at a job that pays just ₦40,000 a month. 1/3
@brockpierson@grok Seriously, I had to dig through all the tags myself, it wasn't even close to 'spam' like they claimed. And honestly, it's a machine, an AI. There shouldn't be any hard limits as long as nothing violates clear rules
For those of you in the comments, there’s a reason why some people never rise higher
If you’re petty about little things like this, it shows you can’t be trusted with bigger ones. It would have cost him nothing to cover the ₦700 that day and protect his daily ₦1,000 tip, that’s ₦24,000 extra per month, big addition for someone earning less than ₦100k
During my 9-5 days, I climbed the ladder very quickly by gifting those above me, even when it wasn’t convenient. It might seem small, but it made a huge difference. I started hearing my name in rooms I wasn’t qualifed to be in, and I got tipped off about important meetings, decisions and posible promotions or underground investigations before anyone else or execution
If he was genuinely low on cash, he should have calmly communicated it to the lady instead of escalating straight to HR. He crossed the Rubicon there and left no room for reconciliation.
@AnyanwuMalachy This is what happens when informal arrangements slowly turn into “expected contracts” without anyone saying it out loud
What started as a tip has now become entitlement + misunderstanding + HR-level drama over ₦700.
Communication would have saved everybody stress.
Yes, because there is a division of labor in the family and wokeness keeps trying to erase that reality.Just as a wife is not expected to pay the full house rent or buy the family car, a husband is not expected to handle every aspect of childcare and domestic duties. His primary role is to provide, protect, and lead the family, so he can focus on that responsibility.If a wife steps up one year and covers the full rent or buys the car, the man should appreciate her because it's not her primary duty. Likewise, when a husband changes diapers, bathes the kids, or cooks, his wife should appreciate him too because those are not automatically his core responsibilities.The house and car belong to the family, but the husband is traditionally expected to provide them. The children and home management belong to the family, but the wife is expected to nurture and manage that side. We shouldn’t destroy healthy family values just to appear “woke.”
Forget about this forced equality that ignores natural roles, for a strong family, family role should be respected, and when put effort and extend a hand to ease your own role , he/she should be respected
So after I bathe my kids this evening, my wife didn’t say thank you.
I told her to say thank you, and she said “are they not my kids”?.
Wow!!! So this thing wey I de help her do don turn to entitlement.
Seems I’ll start reducing the things I help her with in this house. 🙄
This doesn’t stop at mechanics. The same wickedness now threatens people’s lives.
I know someone who went to the hospital complaining of stomach pain. The doctor immediately diagnosed appendicitis and demanded ₦1.1 million for surgery. They rushed her to another hospital for the operation, only to be told she was perfectly fine there was never any need for surgery. A doctor had simply lied to exploit a vulnerable patient. That’s not greed anymore; that’s pure evil.
Go to a dentist and he’ll tell you your teeth will rot away in months if you don’t start expensive treatment immediately, most of it lies.
Report any health issue to a doctor and they’ll often push costly injections they personally profit from, even when a simple, affordable pill would do the job. Quality is rarely the concern, profit is.
A lecturer will deliberately fail a student just to force them into “sorting” (bribery), caring nothing about the damage to the student’s future, CGPA, or mental health.
And the regulatory agencies? They’re often the worst. Need NAFDAC to inspect or approve your product or facility? Expect endless delays, or outright denial no matter how good your setup is unless you “settle” them. They’ll watch your entire investment collapse without remorse.
This is no longer about survival or ordinary greed. It is systemic wickedness. We still have a very long way to go in this country.
See what greed can cause.
My man was experiencing a slight fault in his car some days back. When he told me, i just said he should probably call the mechanic to have it checked. The mechanic's boy came around and opened up the bonnet. Next, he pulled out something and screamed, yeee! Oga, this thing don burn na, na why the car dey do like that. Na why even the horn no work again.
Surprised, I asked, but why is it still working if e burn? "Madam you no go understand even if I explain ".
I didn't feel comfortable. I felt it in my gut that this guy was trying to scam us. But I just relaxed a bit, you know, let's leave men's talk for men.
So, he was able to slightly convince my man who wasn't so sure but since he doesn't like to talk too much, he gave in. God so kind, I told him to quickly put a call across to one of his colleagues who is very familiar with car parts, prices and all.
The plan was simple: distract the mechanic why colleague comes..
Thankfully, he listened and we were able to get the man to have it checked himself. There and then, in front of the mechanic guy, the colleague just connected one or two wires and we had our car working perfectly okay.
You needed to see the mechanics face afterwards.
Making sexual advance at each of them will yield positive result in either way, if they agree, you get in with them , dick them as mush you want then let her sister (your wife ) know , she will send them packing.
If they refuse, that will be constant harassment until they report and at the end the sister (your wife) will send them parking
for example, you’ll see people’s true character at a buffet, lol
everyone looks disciplined when someone else is serving them but the moment the sign says serve yourself, you find out who actually has self control. that’s why absence of options is not discipline.
the real discipline is having abundance in front of you and still choosing restraint.
wealth works the same way. it gives you options and in doing so, it exposes and reveals who you truly are. sometimes, it even exposes parts of your character that even you didn’t know existed.
Granddaughter shares the before-and-after transformation of her 76-year-old grandmother after leaving Nigeria, and the striking change has left many questioning the quality of life in Nigeria.
Cut someone off as a business partner (still normal friend) , because he quit his job, what was his reason , through him the company was making over 10× his monthly salary.
One single question I asked him was "if contract doesn't come for two months, he will still be collecting salary right? And they will still be burning fuel daily?"
His answers were yes , so where then does he expect them to get the money.
Any 9-5 worker that only look on volume of sales and not total cost or possibly how much profit,
Or always care about how much the boss is making and not how much value he or she is adding to the company is a red flag
There is a reason why some of you can only ever do 9-5.
I sold 4 ACs recently for N17m. My profit inside the N17m no even reach N1m.
If no be say the client help me cover for logistics, by the time I am done with the delivery of those 4 massive ACs, I fit no see reach N400k profit inside sale of N17m.
When you people hear sale of N100m, I hope you know the entire N100m is not pure profit?.
You should kuku come and take all of NeoStore because you pulled in sales of N100m. Come make I dash you the entire company.
You think say entrepreneurship in Nigeria na to use N100 win N200m. Na get rich quick scheme nau.
And then it begins 😭🤦🏾. Tribalism we'll be the end of South Africa 🇿🇦. This Tsonga guy said all zulus must leave Limpopo before 30th June 😭😭😭💔.. you see now
The beautiful thing about my life is that once I meet you in real life and you talk about your family with sooo much disgust… I will never rate you in life.
This nigga practically denigrated his own blood brother to strangers including myself who he just met by the way for having a failed marriage.
Mind you. I have never even met his own blood brother before but you could destroy your own familys reputation for fun to people.
Man! If you entrust a human like that with your secrets you will just die for free. Ontop of that he doesn’t even respect God.
A total Buffon.
