P.S Is she thinking of divorcing the randy man?

@kuylie or kunje. For ur mind u are happy. Thank ur stars that the guy didn't die in the process, this one u are browsing and posting on NL, u would have been eating half done beans inside jail.

Be rest assured that those ur boy friends soldiers would not have help u.

bodashee: The week has been great. Although I'm really sorry I've not been able to update in three days. The owners of light have really not been nice to us, so both batteries went flat at a point.
Yesterday, I went to lagos market to buy foil plates. They look better for packing stuff compared to paper plates, though a little higher in price.
I bought foil plates, some of which I used to send samples to a woman art lekki through a friend of mine who was going in the same direction. I hope to hear from her.
I also made a list of 40 people to send samples or pictures to, basically for them to help me get referals.
@ this juncture I'd like to ask if anyone knows how I can approach hotel owners. I'm aware that on christmas day, they share things like this to their customers who are lodged in the hotels. Christmas and new year I think.
Hope you guys had a great week. I really missed you.

Well done Sister. You are making progress. As for how to reach out to hotel owners, I don't think there is any special way apart from meeting them in person or by letter in form of proposal. One-on-one contact is more effective but maybe difficult because of their busy schedule. But whichever way, you need to go out to them, at this point you have a lot to do. And please don't allow any MD/Chairman of any hotel waste your time unecessarily. When they start giving you unecessary appointments, please move on. I'm talking from experience ohhh. But don't worry God will surely grace your efforts. Like I said earlier, there is profit in all labour.

I will suggest you post some nice picture of what you do here. Please make sure that the pictures are very nice and presentable, because you won't have opportunity of explaining after you must have posted them.

My breakthrough was here. I believe the same can happen to you.

I wish you all the best.

This is a very valid point. I really don't know why, even as I type this, I'm planning to hire a female secretary.

@those quoting kanuwa, are u guys new on NL. Pls be informed that her response to issues are always the opposite. Its only once I read where she reply to a post in the right direction.

So please free her. She lives in a different world.

@boda and dilight I will do that especially on the importance of packaging and quality.

Like I said don't be discouraged, there is profit in all labor. You just need that I can do spirit. There was a time I wanted to give up and take paid job, but thanks to my wife who gave me all manner of supports and encouragement. It was tough though but the story has long changed to a positive one.

Remain focused.

bodashee: I appreciate the op for thinking of a thread such as this. I look forward to gaining useful knowledge from this thread. I finished school in July and I've started a new business (called Touch of Bodashee) which supplies chin chin, crusted groundnuts, coconut chips, cookies at events, parties, and even to coporate organization who order for their staff) alongside the sale of clothing that I was involved in right from school days. I prefer to call myself a hustler (not a ceo). But I've noticed that for enterpreneurs that are just starting out like me, its quite a big deal breaking into the markets, especially if you don't really know people that can give you referals to their friends and family, and the small start-up capital also doesn't put one in a place where you can engage in elaborate advertisements. Pls I'd like your advise on this.
Nevertherless, I'd like to encourage others like me. NEVER give up on your dreams no matter what people tell you. Learn from your mistakes instead of getting discouraged by them. And be very very very very careful with funds. DO NOT on any account, use borrowed funds to purchase personal items. Every kobo must go into the business, to prevent premature debt and help your business grow better. God bless us all. We are the pillars of the Society.

Don't be discouraged. I past through this phase you are in right now. I know exactly how it is. I would advise you not to worry so much about how your product will be known. Keep working on how to improve the quality of your product and give utmost attention on packaging then find a way of advertising it online, you will be shocked at the response. And also give room for others to be a part what you are doing such as marketers and distributors.

I will open a thread to share my story - the fears, the worries and the victories.

jdilight: Business from my observation is all about volume. The greater the out put volume, the greater the profit made. l see this as the reason small scale and medium scale companies hardly survive beyond five years of being in operation.

For instance, if a producer makes 1 naira per product produced. He will make 1 million naira if he produces 1 million goods. What if he produces 500 goods, he only makes 500 naira. Taking all expenses out you see the one producing less number of goods will not stay long in competition let alone giving customers gift or the like.

From the above observation, a ruthless competitor can easily put the small /medium scale producers out of business by may giving incentives to buyers.

What do you think?

U see my brother, any business that has to do with production is quite sensitive. If u are into production of any products, you have to be very careful to avoid running at a loss.

Though volume counts, but you have to start from small volume even when it seems everything is ok.

When your product is been appreciated in the market, you can now increase the volume of your output systematically, because in production anything can go wrong and in such situation you can lose both capital and profit.

Olu is ur wife pregnant?

Crime does not pay. It is just a matter of time anybody engages in such act will reap his/her reward.

Please what is comonth

I don't think they deliberately want to look fat or shapeless. They need a lot of support from we the husbands. Its not easy for them. Personally I do a lot to encourage my wife.

The stress they go through on daily basis is something else. Most women don't even know that they are getting out of shape. Its d responsibility of the husband to point it out with love and care and suggest a workable solution. There is no need to start comparison class with those single ladies who are in their early twenties. All they need is love and encouragement to keep fit. I buy my wife what I love to see on her.

Pls if you deal on the above kindly call me 08083892384.

Some people really make life so difficult for themselves. What does giving her your password amount to?

At times I wonder how some people chose to suffer and have issues instead of enjoying life.

debrief08: We always say Men should talk more to avoid bottling up pain, now one does we are telling him to keep quiet and move on.

Let us let people express their pain how best it works for them, we are not in their shoes, we like to make people "forget the past" even when it is not dealt with.

Please let him share, sharing for some is healing.

Let's not scare other men into silence.

My own stories I have shared here are more whinny than his, that's his way of dealing with his pain.

When we silence men from sharing their pain we release a lot of angry men with pent up hurt looking to transfer it on others, talking is healthy, I fully endorse it

Goodmorning Debby. Pls can u send your phone number to my email ani4xst@yahoo.com I have very important issue to discuss with you. Thank you.

Try this:

1) Listen to what he is saying

2) Find out what he like and make an effort to accomplish them

3) Fulfil his se*xu*al urge and even suggest new style of doing it. Sometimes be the one to initiate love making

4) Give him special attention, don't be carried away by domestic chore.

5) Snd him love text

6)Tell him how important he is in ur world.

7) Buy him gifts occasionally

Dress the way he likes and keep ur shape.

9) Plan a surprise outing for only two of you

10) When he offends you find it easy to forgive.

Popowaa: just a few change

Then its a very difficult situation because those ladies involved would always believe that he might change someday.

@popowaa

It is well. I'm feeling so bad reading all this. I just can't say much than to pray for these ladies involved to find the needed strength and walk away.

But if I may ask, do some of them(men) eventually change?

kreami diva: A man in my town was known as a wife batterer. His wife kept on praying for him until he changed and really repented and stopped beating his wife. They fell in love the more. They would walk down the street holding hands and cuddling,giggling and just being happy!

One day,the woman fell ill and was rushed to the hospital. It was found out that she had an internal wound in her abdomen where the man usually kicked her. They battled to save her life but,months later she died!

Needless to say the man nearly went mad! Till today,he refused to remarry.

Its very good for him that the woman died in his house. Let him continue the kicking. Demons with human faces.

I think some ladies are actually the cause of what they are going through. What do I mean; this relationship started as boyfriend and girlfriend and they experience the first beating but in their minds believe that the guy would change and see where they are today.

I see no reason why a lady should stay in abuse boyfriend/girlfriend relationship and allow such to grow into marriage and now they feel trap down by their dictators.


The amazing thing is that even at this moment that everybody is having sleepless night to help these ladies out some girls with their eyes wide open and with all the negative signs are moving into a relationship also believing that the guy who is beating her at this bf/gf level will change when they finally get married. What a mind set!

I'm a man, so I really don't know how some ladies think.

I really don't blame those demon of theirs that they called husbands because there was a more better time to walk away than now.

As for those men that derive joy in tormenting other people's daughters you guys will not go unpunish. You will equally share in their pains either now or latter.

I'm so sad.

What exactly is your product. Which part of the country are u? There are many companies here in lagos that can handle such even individuals.

Is it really necessary for one to travel abroad for child's birth?

Presently, a family is at the crossroads over this issue. The wife is insisting that she must travel abroad but, the husband is not comfortable with this development. The man point of view is that let the wife deliver here in Nigeria in the best hospital while the money that would have been used for such trip be used to plan for the child's future. The man is expected to bring 80% while the wife is planning to bring 20% of the money.

The wife point of view is that according to her friends who delivered abroad that it is safer and also attract other benefits.

Please what do you thing of this?

Guys take it easy me ohhhh. I just notice it now. It's one of those things. I've edited it anyway.

I couldn't believe that I can make such a mistake. This clearly shows that no one is perfect.

Thanks for all the yappings - Lol.

[quote author=maxwello.yg]Now, private primary schools are better than public primary schools.
Private secondary schools are better than public secondary schools.
But, there is higher degree of competition in public universities than in private universities. However private universities have more modern infrastructure than the public ones.
If you compare American University of Nigeria with Unilag, you would understand my point.[/quote]Maxwell. If I may ask, in generic term, would you say that graduates from private uni have advantage over graduates from public uni based on the modern facilities you mentioned?

Please I want to hear insightful analysis for this subject matter.

It is believed by some people that to get quality education, one has to send his/her child to private school. But the output from private school is not commensurate with the high fees paid.

In competitions, students from public school always win the prize.

I have personally experienced from my former boss' daughter whose school fees amounted to millions of naira and yet she couldn't even write final exam by herself. They had to pay someone to do that for her.

Could it be "sing along syndrome" that is affecting majority of parents even when they know that amount spent in private is not equal the output.

Are private schools better than public schools?

Thank you all. For your prayers we say Amen to them all.

I almost had it wrong because back then most of marriage related conversation was that, ah, marriage is very hard oh and difficult, that before one should even think of marriage one has to be this and that - Lol. Even though to some extent it is true but it is far from the way some people put it. But one day my Pastor confessed that how he wish he had married at a younger age. His confession gave me a rethink and I also thank God for my cousin who advise me the right way.

Again thank u all. Me and my beautiful queen we are grateful to ur prayers and wish u all the best in your home. And to those who wish to become one, one day,we say that blessings and favours await you in Jesus Name. Amen.

Pls do include my queen in your prayers as we look forward to our bundle of joy(baby)

Fellow NairaLanders. Marriage is good.

Right from the day we say to each other "I DO", we have been observing blessings and increase in all area of our lives.

In my biz I'm making progress and my angel is doing well in her own field.

There are indeed blessings that come with marriage. Hence the word of God is made manifest in our marriage.

Baby if you get to read this, you make my world go round. I love you with all my heart. You are indeed my queen and my light. As long as we live, I will continue to protect, care for u, lift you, make u smile, pamper you, cherish and love you.

God we are ever grateful for what you are doing in our lives.
