In America, they dispose their oil, solvents, rainwater from oil and gas plant company inside a well.

The well is really really deep. I do not know if in Nigeria we dispose our trash oil deep into the ground.

Fake news

I have been thinking day in,day out.

I am still in my final year..what business can one start with a 100k.
Advices from different angle...

The skill I have at hand is just "graphic design "

& I know a little about cars (mechanic)

ok, if you know a little about cars, I believe you you have your mechanical tools, if not, go and buy.

Become a Mobile mechanic or why don't you do the easiest such as "auto tuneup". Place placards in your area for a start, " i can come to you, i do oil change, change spark plugs etc. You will always get a call.

With your #100,000 , you can flip something small like phones, games, graphics cards etc.
Buy at the main market or someone else, post ad online, or create a placard on the street stating you sell this...etc

Omo!!! Make una share abeg, I’m a Frontend web developer. I’ve been applying for freelancing gigs on upwork but I’m yet to get any job after about two months. I guess it’s because I’ve not done any upwork job and they prolly don’t trust my ability.

Some of the jobs are as easy as styling a single button with CSS, something that won’t take me 30 minutes to do but I never got the job.

You guys should kindly share tips on how you got your first freelancing job on upwork, I’ll be reading the comments.

create project work you have done for people or for yourself and post it online.

Create a Facebook fan page, Instagram fan page, a web page showing your works and some other contents within your field.

Join various groups (Facebook) within your niche, and be an active member.
Research on Facebook, check if they have it but if not, then come out with your Facebook group page by giving it a name like "web developer in Nigeria " or "web developer in Lagos " or "web developer in Michigan" . Now, when you are able to boost your page, the people who joined your group are either clients or web developer. This makes you have future leads....

Facebook ads can be crucial, so you might need to pay Facebook in other for them to boost your pages.

Omo, there are ways to make it, you just want someone to spoon feed you.

Ps: if you say you are good at what you do, go on YouTube and create videos, with time, you will get leads from different sources.
YouTube came up with "YouTube short", take advantage of their algorithm which can help push your videos to a greater audience.

In Turkey, can a baby seat in a car without a child seat for cars?

Apply for jobs in hotels. Don't include your age in your CV. Try to complete your education by doing your HND or DE. Don't ever let your age discourage you. Don't even think your age! Just continue to move, live happily. "Age is just a number"

Your case is not hopeless, infact it is better than so many people.
I for one, I'm 40 and I don't have a job nor a business. I'm not even married. But I have hope that things will be better, because I have a God I serve; who created me and who said in Jeremiah 29:11-12; "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans for good and not of evil. To give you a future and hope. You will pray to me and I'll answer you"

#Keep the hope alive
#It is well with your soul

I see why you don't have a job nor business @40. Keep waiting for God.

Failed state, failed country.
Police ought to be present to check if those boys have liscence.
A drug or alcohol test needed to done on them.
Government needs to enforce that every one must have an auto insurance so as when accidents occur, drivers license and insurance papers must be collected to alert the insurance company on the accident so they can investigate and make payment to the parties who were affected.
Lastly, the system must work in such a way that; arrest and prosecution needs to be made especially when they use drugs or alcohol while driving. Liscence needs to be confiscated.
Nigeria try again.

I was born with a silver spoon and I understand it.

Stupid question in a stupid thread asked multiple times over this forum’s history.

it is not stupid. It can change overtime.

DWJOBScom:
Small small more evidence to assist the poor girl defend herself.

Noone is listening to her story

I hope she wins

the truth is ,that girl just shot herself with a gun. We Nigerians are not enlightened when it comes to the law. Even if that girl is to go down, she might not go down completely as she can turn her story to her advantage.
There is something called "Miranda right" or the right of silence . Now, she has gone to open her mouth, thereby self incriminating herself.

All Nigerian doctors are useless including the ones studying in the university.
Stupid Nigerian doctors , a girl who got bitten by a dog ,they treated her using tetanus medication. She died eventually..
Whacked Nigerian doctors.

Another friend of mine had mental issue and he traveled abroad, the hospital abroad needed to know his medical history or type of mental illness, all the stupid Nigerian psychiatrist docs could not determine the type of mental illness he had. It took an American doctor who went through the reports, and medical history, read it and came up with the illness associated to be schizophrenia. But stupid Nigerian doctors kept on using a general term "mental illness" . Does it mean we don't know schizophrenia?

I also have a biracial friend whose dad(white) is in a hospital in the UK, he said to his son, " the doctors and nurses are mostly Nigerians", they seem not to know what they are doing. They do not take care of him. He said, they must have graduated from Nigeria but did not study in the UK.
What am I saying, you better run and go abroad and study instead of that hell hole.

Go to a system where they use machine to treat you not some old Egyptian medicine we still use back in Nigeria where we begin trial and error.

Nigeria shit food

Hi

Nigerians acting like Americans. The same Nigerian meals is what the Americans sees as gross and nasty...
Stop with the bash.

Kingpin1000:
In your words, Dangote is the most poorly managed company in Nigeria.

did not say that. Dangote himself "might" be pumping money into the repair and maintenance department for the trucks but "the people in charge" are not doing the right thing.
Solution: check my previous comment.

Kingpin1000:
All this Dangote truck killings are rituals.. na only Dangote get truck? Why are others not killing like Dangote.

there is nothing rituals . We are in a failed system. The men in charge of logistics (service and repairs) are not doing the right thing.

These trucks are on the road all day, there is bound to be wear and tear.

Change tyres(new)
Change brake pads, disc(new)
Oil change.
Above all, the driver should be cautious.

If the management cannot do the right thing, then they need to hire independent contractors which I believe they should be doing.

athaboi:
How I wish Nigeria has a good investigative and intelligent unit in our security system... this is pure political assassination! But no way, they will call it unknown gunmen. People are using this window of unknown gunmen to eliminate others. Even the ritual killing forest in port harcourt is still unknown gunmen.... If you are living around the area of this event..you better run away especially young guys. Our security agents are not trained.. anyone they see along that road is the killer of Ahmed gulak

it is still the same when the Americans say "John Doe".

What it means is, they have not been able to identify the killer or culprit and they go by the phrase "unknown gunmen).

musicwriter:
Sorry, I don't deal with this type of situation with emotion but with facts so that I can be able to differentiate between things and not stereotype. This's a question of choosing between good, better, best or bad, worse, worst. It doesn't mean you're supporting someone.

decolonize your mind is a prerequisite to the total liberation of the negroid race.

Princedapace:
Yes.. Corruption dey everywhere but theirs is not like Nigeria, abeg.

now you are making sense. Previously, you made it seem like Namibia is a saint which is why I quoted.

musicwriter:
Of course, Germans are better than the British at least in being honest about their past to the point of paying compensation. I think that's all the comment is saying.

you need to think beyond that. I understood what the user wrote but it is wrong to write that way.

I have experienced where a Nigerian or an Anglophone or even a francophone would see a lusophone and talk down on the person, saying Portuguese no get mouth or Portugal na backward country or English is spoken worldwide so keep quiet.

When you speak in that way, it shows that you as a negroid praising one master over another and how can you feel proud about that... instead of you to condemn it completely and you are saying such nonsense.

To me ,you have a very low self esteem and you need to decolonize the mind..

BigBashiru:
England set up concentration camps in Kenya and killed over 60,000 kenyans when they asked the British who forcefully took away their land to go. British monkeys

I believe that is the mau mau tribe you talking about.

BigSarah:
1.1 billion Euros not fair but atleast their ancestors won’t be so enraged....

The Germans are better than the English Forget about the Holocaust... In the words of George Carlin “All Englishmen deserve to die”.

the statement you made is an underdevelopment of your mental capabilities as a negroid. How can you say that one slave master is better than another slave master. how do you think??

Princedapace:
No, not Namibia, bro. There are Germans still living there sef. They aren't as greedy as Nigerians. The money will be used well.

lol! Same Namibia whom their top government where engaged in bribery and corruption in the fishing sector by an Icelandic company who paid top government before an Icelandic staff at the fishing company exposed them all.

Please help me too it's has been my dream to work with the UN, I studied Peace and Conflicts Resolutions, with a second class upper, I dey sleep and wake up for their website please help a brother

try smaller agency if you cannot get the big one. This was many years back, trying to remember the name but its headquarters was in the UK. It was when they sent me to Darfur, I had other plans going on and I opted out.

You already have government appointment yet you still dey run street matter.

it still does not mean. He knows how much he makes through street. Even Colombia's drug lord "Pablo Escobar", was never going to abandon the street hustle even if he won the presidential election.

Angrygoat:
U can use it to buy a car,a cheap phone,cheap fake designers, 100 dollar giftcard or iTunes card is 29k naira. It's mostly traded for cash. But sold only from yankee. So asking a client to send u 400 dollar iTunes card means u will have 116k which is hard to come by. Its for low budget yahoo boys especially between 100 to 400level poly students in the west

alright . I see people write about iTunes card here on nairaland and I keep wondering what they use it for.

Angrygoat:
I knew it will be these useless itunes card guys. Low budget lexus es 2002 yahoo boys dem. Ritual money.

what do they use iTunes card for

fombi:
My Ghanian experience is exactly as described. Most Nigerians in Ghana are there doing yahoo yahoo, they are very lazy, they want fast money hence lot of them are equally involved in yahoo yahoo, they are very poor, things are very expensive meaning eating well is a problem, there are no opportunities not even for their citizens, they are very envious primitive and uncivilized, their politicians and police are corrupt but not as corrupt as Nigeria's politicians and police, their electricity is quite more stable than I ever experienced in Nigeria, they don't have love amongst themselves, if you open a business as a Nigerian in Ghana and start becoming successful they'll do anything possible to destroy you asap unless your operating a mega business such as a bank, there are no jobs. Traveling back to Lagos from their capital Accra is like traveling back to Lagos from your village, doesn't have 1/10 of the opportunity in Nigeria most especially in Lagos.
Ask any Nigerian who has lived there, you'll find them say exactly same things, but perhaps in a different ways.
HERE IS THE BREAKDOWN:

If you want a place where you can do yahoo yahoo without being bothered by EFCC Ghana is your destination, even if their police catch you with enough bribe you are let go.

If your aim is to start and run a business there as a Nigerian, you will face a lot of hatred, jealousy, wickedness, bad mouthing, lack of growth, hostility, gossip, limitations and witch hunting. They hate their selves so imagine how much they hate Nigerians . I do not recommend it unless you want to go rent a place where you can be indoors most of the time doing your yahoo yahoo quietly.

I do not know why this post of yours is all about Yahoo yahoo.Seems you associated with the wrong crowd.
During my time in Ghana, I did not see much of them. I saw hard working guys from the streets and men at the corporate level.
And I will not say Ghanaians hate their people. I think Nigerians hate themselves more than Ghanaians hating themselves. But I will say that is how most part of Africa is "hating on each other".
If caught doing Yahoo, well you might pay heavily to get yourself out but the Ghana I know can lock you up big time for years.
I know of a guy in school who stole laptop. He was given 10years. His parents came from Nigeria, they tried bribing their way, nothing. To be honest, I will not advice anybody here to go into Yahoo, believing if he is caught, he can secure his way out.
Ghana might not have a good rapport with Nigerians doing business but one can still do business easy if you follow the law.

I need food that I can eat to gain weight am weighing 40 something at the age of 23.

Please help me I look like 18 years and can't proudly stand with my mates cus of my body size

Which food and drinks can i take

Thanks

if you have money, eat junk food at fast food restaurant.. burger, chicken, hot dog milk shakes..

If no money, take lots of protein make sure you buy a carton of chicken, take food or drinks with high fructose corn syrup ( ketchup, mayonnaise,can drinks, juice etc) , buy a case of can drinks and snacks (gala).

If you are eating, make sure you don't eat only rice, always have 3 sides; Chiken, Rice, Beans(canned). Beef(pork, chicken), yam, beans.
Buy corn beef, geisha,canned food etc always eat it along as side meals and substitute.
If there is cheese, you can put cheese in anything like Bread..

Buy peanut butter, put peanut butter in your bread, noodles, oats (this na prison food for America).

Just keep snacking, 3 meals per day should be prepped, snack in between.

If you waka alot of Nigeria, the food wey your chop go burn faster.

There is a reason I brought those can food or food with high fructose corn syrup like ketchup, you have the potential of adding more weight(it also makes you feel hungry in a short while) compared to the regular meals you take. The naija food is organic which has low fat content.

Food may not be healthy but ofcourse you should exercise or you can maintain organic food and drink but you have to eat more..

Ps: lifting weights, taking protein shakes helps. drinking pap is good.

All you all talking, it seems something like this never happened to you. Woman never hold you for neck or waist. That is embarrassing.

I was a young boy in the university when I entered the class. The woman mistook me for someone else and said I am the culprit. I was lost, I tried to figure out what was happening but she kept on coming closer and closer, she said, I was the guy that did something to her. I was confused, I said , it is not me.

At this point, she grabbed me by my shirt, waiste like a criminal. I kept calm trying to understand what was happening. She then grabbed me by my collar, it started slacking.

This woman was serious, she said she would take me to dean of student. What did I do wrong for you to take me to dean of student. She never wanted to let me go, she hacked me down..At this point, I had to free myself. I held her shirt, during the process, her necklace cut. She saw it was serious, she claimed i fought with her but i only wanted to see myself free. I never threw punch. All the girls in class said the same thing. " you are fighting a lecturer; a woman ".

But nobody saw what she did to me. They judged against me and I did nothing wrong. I got free due to several hacks and she concerned about her necklace.

I was reported and I defended myself. She stated I fought her. I told the panel I am guilty for one thing, "cutting her necklace". She accused me wrongly for doing something I do not know about and it was not me which they later found out. The panel saw my innocent but the fact she was an elder or lecturer, I had to pay and I paid for her necklace.

So you see, fvck you all who are against that student. I go with him. Let him beat the fuvcking woman cause that is the language they can understand. Never hold a man by his neck or waist like this woman lecturer did to me. A rational woman, ought to collect the guys name and matric number and call him to panel. Don't fight a man till the extent of you trying to humiliate him. If you want to act civil, I am willing to act in that same manner. But when you do things in a barbaric manner, I will show you who a barbarian is
We have our pride. If that boy is expelled so be it.

I paid for the necklace, to be honest with you,I became friend with the lecturer, she knew she wronged but I ignored all that happened.

mekaboy:
Lol. When u visit Ghana you will be shocked. From circle, to accra to kaneshi spare parts market to mokola, opera square. They are all igbos.

Everything you see traders complain about Ghana locking their shops, are they yoruba or igbos?

the yorubas are there trading phones, computers and accessories. They also engage in textiles sales,auto sales, auto parts sales etc. There are lots of Yorubas in Ghana from ashanti, sunyani, capecoast,tema, tamale,takoradi.. Accra too
