Who told you, you’d be lonely at old age when you have money? Haven’t you seen how people (old and young) rally around old rich people? If you have money at whatever age, you can never be lonely. There is always something fun to do with money regardless of the age. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise
SultanOfPuna:
ok thanks for the input. We have found a nanny but due to an incident that happened to one of our family friend.
The said woman employ nanny to take care of house and the nanny ended up poisoning the woman and her son. Then took a bag of money the woman kept in her room and ran away.
So they are really paranoid of any nanny taking care of them.
They prefer a family member or relation they can trust.
Currently none of our relatives are available to help out and majority of them are abroad🤷
There are well-structured care homes for these kinds of situations in most major countries of the world.

Time Magazine has named Donald Trump as their person of the year for the second time.
"For marshaling a comeback of historic proportions, for driving a once-in-a- generation political realignment, for reshaping the American presidency and altering America's role in the world, Donald Trump is TIME'S 2024 Person of the Year," Time Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs said in a letter to readers.
The Republican president-elect is set to ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday to commemorate the honour alongside several of his family .
Trump was first named person of the year in 2016 after winning the US presidential election.
The magazine's tradition - which started in 1927 as "Man of the Year" - recognises a person or movement that "for better or for worse... has done the most to influence the events of the year".
Other previous winners include climate change activist Greta Thunberg, former President Barack Obama, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Pope Francis and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Time Magazine editors ultimately decide who wins the award.
The outlet was considering 10 people for the person of the year award, including Vice-President Kamala Harris, the Princess of Wales and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, now a close confidante of Trump set to lead an advisory board called the Department of Government Efficiency.
In a description of Trump for the list of finalists, Time said he had won the 2024 election "in a stunning political comeback".
"He has reshaped the American electorate, activating young male voters who propelled him to a decisive victory that saw him win the popular vote for the first time and turn every swing state red," the outlet said.
"His 2024 win is history-making in multiple ways: he will be the oldest President in U.S. history, and he was convicted earlier this year by a New York jury of 34 counts of fraud, making him the first convicted felon to be elected President."
Trump sat for interviews with the magazine in April this year during the campaign season. During the wide-ranging discussions, Trump talked about his plans for a second term, including his goals of reforming the US immigration system and deporting millions of people.
Trump complained in 2015 when he was not chosen for the magazine cover during his first run for office, when the award went to former German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
But after he was named person of the year following his election win, he called it a "great honor".
"It means a lot, especially me growing up reading Time magazine. And, you know, it's a very important magazine," he said at the time.
He has, however, continued to criticise the magazine's choices since winning, including the selection of Taylor Swift as Time's person of the year in 2024.

I won't waste your time, I am going to give you a short list of why Kamala Harris Lost to Donald Trump.
1.) Americans are not ready to allow a woman lead them as President. In as much as they champion gender equality, they understand the dangers of electing a woman, a black or mixed raced as the POTUS. The current generation of Americans now are not ready for that risk.
2.) Americans don't joke with Israel's security. Whoever told Kamala Harris to criticize Israel, publicly condemning Israel defense of her homeland from Moslem terrorists attacks was wrong. She should have kept her mouth shut.
3.) In as much as Americans freedom, equality and liberalism, the way Kamala Harris s LGBT, Abortion, genderless madness and other anti Christian wokeism practices became worrisome to so many real Americans not the fake Americans wannabes.
4.) Most Americans are tired of Ukraine Russian war and they believe Trump can put an end to the war and save the world from a possible 3rd world war or nuclear battle. The Americans of today love fun and enjoyment more than anything and not ready to go to any war like Americans of the 1940s to 1990s
5.) Islamic Terrorists Madness in MiddleEast and the rising popularity of Iran. Americans believe only Trump can put a stop to Iran's madness in the MiddleEast.
6.) Migrant Influx. Many White Americans are tired of migrants trooping into their country. They believe if this is not checked, America will lose its glory in no distant time so they want a President that can be bold enough to stop or slow down migration to a great extent.
And Kamala Harris has been in of allowing migrants in while Trump is against undocumented migrants coming into the US, especially those from Moslem countries, Africa, Haiti, Colombia and Mexico.

Please what can I do with this money to be able to double it in 3 months?
You want to DOUBLE that 8 million cash in 3 months? Don't even think about it so as NOT to loss your shirt in supposed investments that are high-risk. Better to put it in a "fixed deposit " in the bank with the person's knowledge and not be greedy.

Understanding Forex Market Trends and Cycles
Samuel and Maina sat on the porch, discussing the forex market's unpredictable nature. "You see, Samuel," Maina explained, "the market goes through cycles: accumulation, markup, distribution, and markdown."
Samuel nodded, recalling his recent losses. "So, when should I buy?"
"During accumulation," Maina advised. "That's when savvy traders enter at low prices. Then comes markup—prices rise as more traders in."
"But how do I know when to sell?" Samuel asked.
Maina smiled. "In the distribution phase, when prices peak. That's when you cash out before the markdown hits."
Understanding these cycles transformed Samuel's approach to trading, turning his losses into profits as he learned to ride the waves of the forex market.
Software magnate, investor and philanthropist Bill Gates has become a kind of guru of the new realities that humanity is living and now the co-founder of Microsoft has predicted a new type of technology that, among other things, would replace smartphones.
It is not the first time that Gates dares to make predictions, as he showed when he spoke about a new pandemic that will attack humanity, now the author and lecturer has spoken of an electronic tattoo.
Among the data that this tattoo will store, there is initially talk of medical and sports information, with which it will be possible to prevent and control diseases, as well as improve physical and sports performance by means of vital signs.
How will the electronic tattoo be placed on people?
Although this electronic tattoo is still in the development phase, it is known that it will be applied temporarily on the skin, with small sensors and trackers that send and receive information through a special ink that conducts electricity.
Gates wants electronic tattoos to replace smartphones. However, the initial implementation of electronic tattoos is not enough for Bill Gates, who wants this futuristic device to become the replacement for today's smartphones.
Gates' idea, which has already been seen in several Hollywood movies, is that people can use the electronic tattoo developed by Chaotic Moon to call, send messages or look up an address.
Although it is not yet possible to speak of an approximate time for the electronic tattoo to be available, Gates and his team are looking for a way to use it to become the new device with which people carry out many of the things they do through smartphones.

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Communications Satellite Ltd (NigComSat), Mrs Jane Egerton-Idehen, has said Nigeria is now deploying all its satellite assets against terrorists, bandits, and kidnappers.
Egerton-Idehen said this at a media parley in Abuja ahead of Satellite Week, saying the agency’s mission for the event is to unpack and showcase the transformative potential of satellite technology for Nigeria, setting the stage for tangible progress in the nation’s economy, security, healthcare, education, and more, while forging connections and partnerships.
This means that the security challenges confronting the country might end soon, she added.
Mrs Egerton-Idehen who did not give details of the scope of the deployment because of its security implications, however, said there are collaborations with the nation’s security architecture managers to find lasting solutions to the security challenges facing the country.
She said part of the collaborations involved providing connectivity to remote areas, while lots of technology platforms have been deployed for various assignments.
“We are collaborating with the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Defence Intelligence, and Space istration, the Nigeria Police Force and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, and other stakeholders on the utilisation of Communications Satellite and Assets to ensure peace throughout the country.
“I cannot provide details of our collaborations, but it’s all-encoming and the goal is to secure Nigeria. Very few countries have the kind of assets that we have, especially in the West African sub-region. We have started a journey to provide leadership in the region and we will surely get there,” she said.
She commended President Bola Tinubu for initiating the Renewed Hope Agenda, saying the of the president and the Minister of Communications, Innovations and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani, has changed the narratives of the Satellite Communications industry.
She said Nigeria has not abandoned the move to procure Satellite 2 in Space, stating that the process is already gaining traction and would be concluded as soon as possible.
She also said the Nigerian Satellite Week is being organised to bring stakeholders together to harness the huge potential in the satellite industry.
She said within the period she assumed office, NigComSat TV Channels have moved from about 45 to 105, while viewers have peaked at 7 million from two million viewers.
Speaking on Satellite Week, Mrs Egerton-Idehen said, “This event marks a pivotal moment for Nigeria’s satellite and space industry as we gather here to explore how communication satellites can be the driving force behind our nation’s sustainable development via diverse industries and initiatives.” https://dailytrust.com/nigeria-now-deploying-satellites-to-monitor-terrorists-bandits-nigcomsat/

I have been decided to become bi since i have started high school. I always was thinking how to have a sex with a woman , to try another feeling and dirty things .First experience it was with my neighbour ,she is lesbian . She said that sex with woman brings a real pleasure and satisfaction . Just believe me i found that sex with a girl is more sensual . All the vagines are so different , I have started to read "The Cunnilinguist" you can find this erotic romance here alexbporter.com . There I learnt how to detect the lesbians in my surrounding and on a girl behaviour I can help to unlock the hidden desires . In the book I learnt many techniques which i have not been tried before .

Have you ever wondered why Girls especially will always accept to be ''Apakolyzed by there 'EX'??
Have you ever wondered why married men and women still cannot resist that one guy they dated far back in the uni??
Ladies and GentleBabes, i bring you...
Okafor's Law of Congodynamics
C 1 P = C ∞
It states that once a Congo has been shined once (C 1 ) , it can always be shined (C ∞ ) provided it was shined properly ( P) the previous times.(emphasis on properly). In other words, "....a woman once knacked, can be reknacked..."
Just like we say "water finds its level"
Which is not exactly how Achimedes narrated his contemplation, of all things floatation.
In scientific circles, opinion is divided as to whether it is actually a law or just a hypothesis. There is a large body of evidence to suggest that it is a law but there are others who think it is merely a hypothesis and does not take into other variables such as M (marital status), O(opportunity) and F (Financial status) of either one or both of the parties.
In lay-mans term what the above jargons simply mean is dat.
A hole once drilled, drilled properly even when closed up can always be found and can be drilled forever'
if u have been involved with a girl for a period of time and did a good job in and out of the bedroom (mostly in..), the belief is that u can always go to the girl at any given time and sleep with her again no matter what situation arises (breakups, different lover, etc..)
