Crime / Grandma Admits To Intentionally Shooting 6-Month-Old Granddaughter In The Eye by Ilekokonit: 6:40pm On Sep 20 |
Grandma admits to intentionally shooting 6-month-old granddaughter in the eye A grandmother in Ohio is facing a felony assault charge after admitting to intentionally shooting her six-month-old granddaughter in the eye.https://uk.news.yahoo.com/grandma-admits-intentionally-shooting-6-153520597.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly91ay55YWhvby5jb20v&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANPhvlcGBOZYZWMCwtmuvIM3vGN-RqdrdGrdd4DNyjwhRwSuEiWZcfM-yzxATqAMARQEkghq-nyJzmFgXmrGgWSRFKCY-OypulPweMgznPDJ62NH_1-2FTC0G1L0Z_xgOa1l7xeprId0eePeIlv6pduinABbapDk3PozA_9y5cG_ 3 Likes 1 Share

Love800: Sorry I have no idea about that but my guess will be that if your customers like your food, they will recommend you to cook for parties but I will say you should focus on getting the restaurant started first and after a year of running it successfully, you can then decide if you really need to cater for outside events as they may be a distraction that makes you take your eye off the ball and quality of the food or service in the restaurant may fall if you start doing too many things at the same time. |

RealLordZeus: John the Baptist was executed by beheading by Herod Antipas on the request of Herodias' daughter. This was in spite of the fact that John the Baptist was related to Jesus because John's mother, Elizabeth, was a cousin of Jesus' mother, Mary. John the Baptist was the voice calling in the wilderness as he was sent by God to prepare the way for the coming of the promised Messiah by telling people to repent as the Kingdom of Heaven was near. Like you stated above nobody for this current sinful era holy reach the apostles who were persecuted or John the Baptist who was beheaded. 1 Like 1 Share |

Love800: For example if the cost of preparing a plate of food is N500, then instead of selling it for N800 to make a N300 profit, you can sell it for N700 and make a lower profit of N200 just to make sure that you make more sales. |

Family / Nigerian Nurse Jailed for 3 Yrs In the UK for causing Baby's Home Alone Death by Ilekokonit: 12:30am On Sep 12 |
Na greed go kill some Nigerian women abroad. She chose money over the safety of her own child Nigerian Nurse jailed for 3 yrs in the UK for leaving her 10 week old baby home alone and going to work for 8 hours and baby died before she came back home. She left her 10-week-old baby home alone while she went to work. When she came back he had stopped breathing Wed, 11 September 2024 at 1:05 pm A nurse whose 10-week-old baby died after she left him home alone while she went to work has been jailed. Ruth Auta left her son Joshua Akerele unattended while she did an eight-hour shift at Royal Bolton Hospital. But when she returned home he wasn't breathing. The 28-year-old called paramedics, but despite efforts to resuscitate Joshua, tragically he was pronounced dead at the scene. When police were called Auta initially lied and told them she had collected Joshua from his childminder's after her shift. She claimed she took him home, fed him, placed him on her bed and then fell asleep next to him. She said when she woke up he was unresponsive. But when police contacted the childminder she told officers she had not seen Joshua for a few days. Bolton Crown Court heard CCTV captured Auta leaving her nurses' accommodation to go to work shortly after 6.30am on December 20, 2022, before returning just over eight hours later. Experts could not confirm the cause of Joshua’s death. He was said to have been a healthy baby in all respects. The court heard he may have overheated due to the layers of clothing and bedding he was wrapped in, but other potential causes of death could not be ruled out. Following the childminder's interview, Auta was arrested and gave no comment answers during her police interview. She was released on bail while a full police investigation was carried out. She was charged with cruelty to a child and pleaded guilty at Manchester magistrates' court on May 24. On June 6 Auta, of no fixed abode, was arrested at Gatwick Airport while attempting to board a flight to Nigeria. She had bought a one-way ticket. Yesterday (Tuesday) she was sentenced to three years imprisonment at Bolton Crown Court. Sara Davie, district crown prosecutor for CPS North West said: "Whilst she went to work to provide care for other people, Ruth Auta left the very person who needed her care the most home alone. As a nurse she should have known the dangers of leaving her baby unattended. "As she begins her sentence, she must now live with the consequences of the terrible decision she made that day. Auta has failed to show remorse throughout the case; she misled police about her childcare arrangements and then tried to evade justice by attempting to flee the country. "Our thoughts and sympathies are with all those who been affected by Joshua’s death." https://uk.news.yahoo.com/she-left-her-10-week-120514902.html 1 Share

There are no certainties in life and you just have to go with your gut feeling as there are no right or wrong answers to life's issues. A friend will say - Nothing works.

Love800: You are correct in saying that people selling cooked food are finding it hard to keep all their customers but there will still be those hard core customers who WILL NOT cook or can not cook and like eating food cooked by someone else. So, its a case of reducing your profit margin as some people will just NOT cook especially older bachelors who have good paying jobs. All in all, if someone has N4 million Naira in savings, instead of relocating to a strange xenophobic, racist country where you may not get a good job or any job at all for close to 2 years, its better to risk only N1 million of that experimenting with a Mama put and if monitored closely on a daily basis with the owner being present there every day and taking delivery of food stuff in the shop him or herself to prevent greedy staff pocketing foodstuff money and watching ALL your staff for signs of theft then its still possible to make a modest profit running a Mama Put as some people will just NOT cook - for example, the last time I really cooked was 2006. |

Bobloco: Unfortunately it is worse than that. He is multiple times richer than The drug sniffing, drug trafficking treasury looter should never have been allowed near Nigeria's Treasury. Tinubu's grand looting of Lagos State from1999 to date and counting did not teach us a lesson and even though the news of his criminality was all over the internet, we still managed to rescue defeat from the jaws of victory and now it is too late to save Nigeria from the thief called Tinubu. There was a country. I was working from home in far away Europe during the APC primaries in 2022 and I must confess that most of my mornings were spent keeping up to date with affairs in Nigeria and i later make up the hours in the evening but such was my fear that if by mistake we allow Tinubu on that ballot paper, he will buy his way into Aso rock and i also knew that if Tinubu is allowed to be President for just 2 months, he will become richer than Nigeria in those 2 months. Now the worst has happened and Nigeria is in deep sheet. |

Education / Re: UON Medical Student Caught Cheating (Video, Photos) by Ilekokonit: 6:07pm On Sep 08 |
Lowcurrentt: You will be suprised to hear that cheating in exams in Medical School and in other courses started many decades ago. I was a Medical Student at UI Med School many years ago and 20% of my class cheated to pass exams in a situation where people who are repeating decide to do division of labour and instead of studying every thing they decide to study just upper limb and someone else studies lower limb, thorax etc, etc and then they sit at the back of the class and compare notes and end up scoring 100%. This is apart from the children of Professors of Medicine who were being given preferential treatment in the exam hall (e.g. coming too late for an exam and instead of disqualifying her, the invigilator (a lecturer who was taught in med school by the girls father who is a Prof of medicine) kept repeating to our hearing "where is the she that must be obeyed" until the Profs daughter showed up more than an hour late for the exam. And then there is the case of the son of a Prof of medicine in my class who used to see the real exam questions days before the exam and then he will circulate them to his inner circle of friends and they all end up scoring 100% in the exam. No wonder there are so many heartless killer doctors in Nigeria. I eventually had enough and when I decided to pull out of Med school after 4 years, my mum took me to a well known Bishop who laid hands on me and when he saw that I did not change my mind, he promptly asked me if I was on drugs and I answered in the negative. |

Family / British Couple Plan To Die In Double ‘suicide Capsule’ At Swiss Clinic by Ilekokonit: 5:21pm On Sep 08 |
British couple plan to die in double ‘suicide capsule’ at Swiss clinic Anthony France Sun, 8 September 2024 at 1:10 pm BST·2-min read A former RAF engineer and his retired nurse wife have signed up to become the first British couple to use a double suicide pod. Peter and Christine Scott made the decision after she was recently diagnosed with early-stage vascular dementia. The couple - married for 46 years – plan to die in each other’s arms in the death capsule after travelling to Switzerland, the Mail on Sunday reports. Following discussions with their son and daughter, who reluctantly accept their choice, the Scotts said they were motivated by fears of suffering years of infirmity within a failing NHS and losing their home and life savings to pay crippling care costs. Mr Scott, 86, and his 80-year-old wife - who have six grandchildren - are now in the process of registering with The Last Resort, a Swiss-based organisation that offers assisted dying in the Sarco pod, unveiled in July. Mr Scott, of Mellis, Suffolk said: “We have had long, happy, healthy, fulfilled lives but here we are in old age and it does not do nice things to you. “The idea of watching the slow degradation of Chris's mental abilities in parallel to my own physical decline is horrific to me. “Obviously I would care for her to the point I could not, but she has nursed enough people with dementia during her career to be adamant she wants to remain in control of herself and her life. Assisted dying gives her that opportunity and I would not want to go on living without her. “We understand other people may not share our feelings and we respect their position. What we want is the right to choose. I find it deeply depressing we can't do that here in the UK. Mrs Scott, who has already planned her final days, added: “I’d like to go walking with Peter in the Swiss Alps, by a river. I’d have a beautiful plate of fish for my last supper, and enjoy a great bottle of Merlot. “I’d make a playlist including Wild Cat Blues and The Young Ones by Cliff Richard and I’ve found a poem called Miss Me But Let Me Go, which sums up exactly how I feel.” Assisting someone to end their life is currently a criminal offence in England and Wales. Labour MP Jake Richards last week signalled his intention to bring forward a proposed law to “reform our archaic assisted dying laws” with a Commons debate. Former Labour justice secretary Lord Falconer of Thoroton has introduced the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults Bill in the House of Lords, which is expected to be debated in mid-November. Health Secretary Wes Streeting has also previously acknowledged the need to debate the divisive issue, but said he is “uncharacteristically undecided” on the topic. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/british-couple-plan-die-double-121032321.html? 2 Shares

Love800: If you can cook to restaurant standard then the better as it will save costs but if you can't cook, then look for a very good cook or 2 that you will be paying on a daily basis and someone to server the customers and another to wash plates but ensure your rent is quite low. It is doable because a lot of the successful Mama Puts you see around started with less than N50,000 if you ask them and there are thousands of food sellers that people flock to on a daily basis whose entire capital is much less than 200k. The thing with we educated people (myself included) is that we look down on N50k as if it is chicken change whereas the not so literate women see it as a lifeline that can feed their entire family with setting up a Mama Put. Food business remains the best business in the world as people will always eat food daily. That market is not well tapped but it is a goldmine if we shift our focus from Japa and look inwards into unmet demands before our very eyes in Nigeria. Remember, where there is a will there is a way but because most of us educated folks have grown to have high tastes in consumption, etc, we think 1m Naira is just too small to set up a business while the illiterates will see the same 1m Naira as a fortune. Anything that has to do with consumer goods that people consume daily will ALWAYS sell. For example when you buy a single stick of cigarrete maybe Benson and Hedges from a shop that still sells singles anywherein the whole world, British American Tobacco the company headquartered in London is making money from that sale of a single stick of cigarette hence their Turnover 20 years ago was £25 Billion. Same logic applies to coca cola, guiness and any manufacturer of FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) that people consume daily and this includes food and its no surprise that during Covid lockdown, only healthcare institutions and Food premises were exempt from lockdown because people had to eat DAILY. The mama put does not have to be too elaborate to start with but if you keep your rents low and keep staff numbers low and be there EVERYDAY to checkmate staff theft, in no time you will reap handsome rewards. Abroad is not smiling at the moment with racism and xenophobia rearing there ugly heads PUBLICLY EVEN in "erstwhile" tolerant England and anti-immigrant sentiment is now an election winner in the UK as evidenced by the successe of the far right Reform party in the last UK elections and conservative party memmebr of Parliarment including black and brown children of immigrants are stoking the anti-immigrant sentiment selfishly to win the next Conservative party leadership contest and the anti-immigrant Race riots during the first week of last month where Muslims, Mosques, black people and Eastern Europeans were attacked in the streets of the UK should be an eye opener for allimmigrants in the Uk that we are just being tokerated there and we are not really wanted there. Getting a DECENT job in the UK for an immigrant is becoming harder and harder as the days go by and it will get worse so Japa'ing to the UK or any foreign country from Naija should be looked upon with a pinch of salt as the grass is DEFINITELY not greener on the other side. The N4m the original poster has to Japa will be swallowed by Visa and Plane ticket costs leaving the person stranded, homeless and penniless in a foreign land where immigrants especially black people are looked down upon and at times treated as subhuman even in so called Western democracies. The killing of George Floyd in America and the killing of a disabled Nigerian man in public by an italian man in italy are just examples not to talk of last month when UK Racists started physically attacking immigrants including black people in the streets of many UK cities and the racists also set fire to a hotel housing immigrants without a care for if the immigrants all burned to death just last month and this should tell us part of what we need to know about the attitude towards foreigners in Western Europe. |

Rod67: N4m will more than open a profitable Mama put in Nigeria. If you relocate, the 4m Naira will be gone and you then have to contend with competing for almost non existent vacancies with the indigenes of where you relocate to. Some indigenes in these foreign countries have been unemployed for close to 2 years and their saving grace is that their governments will pay their rent and feeding allowance until they get a job that pays enough. You as a non national will not have this luxury once you spend your 4m Naira on travel, visa and initial accomodation for your first few weeks after which reality will hit you. A lot of the people in the countries you are looking to relocate too do not have 1m Naira in savings and many of them are currently unemployed. If I were you, I will stay put in Nigeria and open a Mama put with 1m Naira and put 3m in fixed deposit or better still buy some cheap land and fence it. With the Mama put, at least food will not longer be a problem and if you keep a close eye on it by being there every day, you WILL make a profit you can eventually live on. The race riots in England of all places where the Oyinbos were attacking immigrants including black people physically in the streets should tell us that the grass is not necessarily greener on the other side and with 3 global wars (Israel, Russia and the Houtis) having damaged international trade in ways world leaders dare not admit lest they precipitate a global recession, what you find now at least in the UK jobs market is that employers are cutting recruitment and the uncertainties mean employees are staying out in their jobs for security meaning that jobs mobility and vacancies take a further reduction in a country that most probably is still in a recession that Rishi Sunak reluctantly admitted to at the last minute. Even the UK is not smiling for the indigenes work wise talk less of an immigrant with no UK work experience. 2 Likes 1 Share |

False Accounting will thrive when such a big entity as NNPC is not required to undergo the rigors of an Annual Audit which is an independent examination and expression of opinion or a Companies financial statements. With no such scrutiny and successive irresponsible and unpatriotic Presidents who benefit from such lack of audit scrutiny willing to turn a blind eye, then anything goes. |
