@PowersthatBe

Thanks a lot for this eye-opening thread. Not everyone is as benevolent to teach and give others this financial secrets on a platter with no strings attached.

You're rare!

Find comfort in your heart in knowing I did appreciate this opportunity.

May God reward you abundantly.

Regards.

Either ways brother man... I'm still interested on a private chat,just the both of us...I will send you an email now, thank you.

If the OP had hidden his knowledge and decided to teach only those who contacted him on the previous thread, I'm quite sure you wouldn't have had the slightest idea of what has been said.

He was kind enough to teach and break everything down for everyone to understand. You want to ask question, you were told to ask so that others can also learn but NO! you want it privately for only you to benefit. SMH

That woman you transacted with may have been a yahoo boy in the background.

He told you all sorts of stories to exploit your emotional weakness, he returned back the little you gave him initially with interest to win your trust. He returned back the 10 million and 15 million to solidify the trust.

When he saw that you have trusted him enough not to say no to his request over the years, he placed a costly demand on your life savings.

He used reversed psychology on you.

Report to the EFCC they may be of help in recovering your fund.

Moral Lesson :: Trust no one. Not even your own blood let alone a total stranger.

Phorto:
It all started when she (my cousin) noticed a swell on her neck with spot on it, her neighbour prescribed a herbal cream for her to use to rub the surface, now I think the herbal cream reacted on her skin and it's itching her, now she has stopped using it..

Doctor and skin experts on here, please what advice do you have for her..?

Take her to the nearest teaching hospital or general hospital. Forget about any cream anyone prescribed to you it will either do nothing or worsen it.

The cells in her neck are probably dieing as evidently seen from the purplish discoloration in her neck.

Delay in treatment might cause further spread to other areas around her neck and that could too late to correct.

The name is cool, short and very descriptive.

Yes, it took almost 2 weeks

What did you do to have it restored?

Hi nairlanders, I need your help.

I started having cough seven days ago and I as well took some over the counter medications to sooth it (Erythromycin, Augmentin and a liquid one) . But it seems while I take the medications, the cough worsens especially at night. The cough is very dry and doesn't produce anything and it's mostly triggered by a funny sensation at the back of my throat.

I don't really experience any other symptom apart from loss of appetite.
I'm afraid of going to the hospital to avoid being kept in the isolation center for the suspicion/fear of covid.
Could this truly be Covid?
What should I do?

Mods, please my post needs a wide view.

Would you rather die in fear of being isolated? Or do you choose to live by making yourself available for treatment at the hospital? The choice is yours!

Sickness say "hide me and I'll kill you, expose me and I'll leave you."

Tarvel:
I woke up this morning to meet this

I think my account was used maliciously by an hacker

The email address is tied to virtually everything I do online + school stuffs and now it's disabled for "spamming". I've not sent an email to anyone recently so where did the "spam" come from?

My Play Store, YouTube... Everything cannot be accessed

I've request for a review from Google, do I have a chance of getting my account back??

I'm currently facing thesame issue. please have you been able to resolve yours?

Before i used to asked myself what could pront people to commit suicide but I didn't get any response till I began to feel like commiting sucide all by myself based on the life challenging am going through ....
Am dealing with a very serious depression which all the time am feeling wordless, like nothing life has for me .
Instead of me to wast my blood for nothing I prefer to joint blood money use it lay legacy for my family to have something to remember me ...
Anyone who committed sucide don't blame him or her because you don't know how the conditions if he or she was into..

Pls don't commit suicide regardless of what you're going through. Suicide is never a solution to any problem you face in life. Send me a DM or drop your WhatsApp contact let's talk. A problem shared is half solved.

@pstemma1990

I understand what you're going through. You might have probably heard the saying that "life is not a bed roses" and that is very true because everyone has a certain problem to battle with..

Whatever you're going through is only a phase that will fade off very soon, if you can hold on with patience and perseverance.

Behind the story of every successful man, lies moments of hidden tears and pain. The pages that are not read aloud; and that's the phase you're in right now.

Keep hope alive, this phase will pass away.. I have seen a baby cry for a while and in a second he laughed. That's the beauty of life, the pain never last.

Regardless of what you're going through, as long as you still have breathe there is nothing you cannot achieve if you stay focused and hopeful in the storm.

Do not sit in the dark worrying over why things are unfair to you in life. Worrying will not change anything. Life is full of challenges and obstacles and executing plans to overcome them is what makes all the difference..

"Expecting life to be good and fair to you is like expecting a bull not to attack you because you're a vegetarian." Braze up like a warrior and fight the good fight.

You have gone through a lot and you don't have to be tired now. Keep pushing!
Your eyes have seen so many things and you don't have to be afraid now. Keep hope alive!

The sun will shine when you least expect it. Just work at your own pace and all things will fall in place at the right time. Do not compare your journey to what your mates have achieved. The table always turns.

In whatever you do, put God first. He will certainly change your story from bitterness to sweetness as He rightly did in the case of Jabez.

If you feel overwhelmed at times and you need someone to speak to you can call a mental health counsellor :: 08008002000
It is free.

Stay strong! This too shall pass and it will be unto you a testimony.

deedee44:
I was checking some EMDs I intend to register on who//is and the result is always they have all been registered but I always check registration date to confirm who.is did not just register it lol.

It got to a point I noticed all the search results I got were .com and .net registered but the site wouldn't display date of registration, I knew something wasn't right then I typed this name that could never have been registered. Alas they gave me the same result.

I will check back tomorrow to know if they just registered it today or it's just a glitch.

Lol

Try using whois .com/whois

Yes

Wow what a valuable piece of information.. It took me 2days to run through the thread.. I must commend the mentor of mentors in the person of chief venzal. You're appreciated sir only a handful will give out such level of exposure with no strings attached.

I will take actionable steps to implement all you have admonished. Thanks once more!

I am one of the pioneers of the topic on nairaland. I left it to focus on something else, though I have some pending sales right now but nothing concrete yet.

Same here..
I left it a long time ago but I decided to look into it again. We shall smile at last!

PeaceJoyLove:

OK. I get you. Instead of focusing on a single customer, they should look at the bigger picture. Yeah! You are right. I agree, but ....

To see the bigger picture is not easy as there are too many uncertainties. It is like life. The bigger picture we look at when we were young is not what we mostly end up becoming, but we still moved ahead, and still moving. I will explain more on this issue. And I will explain how we can move gradually towards the global world you mentioned.

It may be suicide to want to get the whole global attention from the start. The strategy to get the whole world is there, but we must be able to know the way to do it. Remember, we are talking about startups in emerging market and not in well developed market. We do not have the resources in abundance to capture a global audience in Nigeria cos we operate in a less robust market. We can take the global, but we need to grow gradually. My next post will address some of these issues.

My brother, it is tempting to think programmers have the cake and the knife like wrote it up there. Hmmmm.... Let me explain.again the job of the man who innovates. It is "much more" difficult than just coding. Basically, business is people. This person must understand the concept of programming also in order to be able to discuss with programmers. Meaning that the possibility is there that he can code excellently if he decides to take it on. He also must be a good marketer. Talking of digital/viral/social media marketing, he is there. Talk of copyright and content writing, he is there. Again, he must be a pro with talent hunt. Knowing the right person to give a job is not an easy task. It is not just programmers that get the job done. The person must be able to source for a very good human resources partner too. He is the same person who will worry about budgeting and planning. This same person will meet investors and banks. Same person deals with logistic, inventory management, sales, etc. And even has to be up against scammers in this 9ja. Lol. When it comes to press conferences, this same person stands in front of the world to defend or project the company and their products. It is not an easy task. He is an "all round" machine.

Now, tell me...how easy on earth could you be able to sit down and code if you were this innovative person? Is it possible? I think you need to ask Mark Zuckerberg the last time he actually sat down coding seriously on his computer. Yeah! It is an advantage to know coding so one can even engage in trouble shooting sessions. I see it as a real advantage at the initial stage of ones life esp for young guys in their 20s to early 30s. I think as one gets older, it is normal for one to climb into the innovative role if one is improving ,and leaving coding for boys and girls comes naturally. No one is going to tell you when to leave it.

Young programmers should look for brilliant CEOs to learn from. They need to start learning about doing business right. It is not just the product or the solution, but about doing business generally.

Business has always been business, and it is not going to change soon. Business is business.

Now, take a step back and answer the question. Who actually has the cake and knife? The business minded person or the programmer?

You're right!

The business minded man has it.

PeaceJoyLove:

I was about posting again...hmmm. Please, look at the underlined sentence. In what way do we think of clients and customers that we should not? I understand what you mean by looking for solutions, but is it not clients and customers you focus on to get solutions? I know you are trying to say something meaningful, but I have not yet fully grabbed your point. Kindly explain very well why we shouldn't focus on customers but on solutions. How are customers different from solutions?

What I meant is that, the reason for the shift in developing startups is that programmers are often focused on the immediate "single customer" needs, how to get it done and smile to the bank. This is not bad in any regard but steering up the wheel of startups involves envisioning solutions beyond the immediate reward of a single customer.

For a tech startup to be recognized, accepted and used by the general populace, it should address a global or environmental need. See the world as your client see the populace as your customers. What is their pain point?

When this question is answered a great startup is born. But often times those who sit to answer this question are those who know nothing about programming. Those who have the cake and the knife can surely do better.

If we should expand our minds to possibilities beyond immediate rewards, then we will understand so many problems waiting to be solved by our existing tech know -how.

Identifying a pain point and proffering a needed solution to a global audience is the foundation of a startup.

@PeaceJoyLove

I'm impressed by your write-up. This is plainly the bitter truth as most people including me, initially got into programming for the sole purpose of sourcing jobs.

But little do they know that the software built for that client for less that $500 will earn the client the wealth of a life time. The difference is that the client saw the bigger picture and future fortune while the programmer was content with the immediate reward.

This is not to spit on freelance programmers in any sense of serenity. But a wake up call to alert every programmer to think up a viable solution and build with your knowledge while earning for sustenance.

If those without the knowledge and skills you have could dominate the world of tech startups come'on you can do better. Is it not rather decriable that the best programmer with lots of experience is still not close to the list of top 100 startup founders?
But the one who doesn't know how divs, tags and flexbox work rules.

What is the missing link?
We often think of clients and customers rather than solutions. While this is not a problem in the short run, it has the tendency of keeping us with enemy called average in the long run.
