She was first called up in 2001 So after 22 years she now realized that she needs to complete her NYSC heheh

The position was likely already promised to her godfather by the agbado man while he was seeking office.

Knowing it was a prerequisite, she sharply got herself mobilised

jaksmillioniar:
with 10m can I go abroad wit wife and baby I plan dat if I get dere I will want my wife to born dere so the baby become a citizen. I heard if baby is a citizens then d parent too is a citizens

10m is not a lot of money at the current exchange rate.

Larry1960:




Did you check the exchange rate today
One pounds has fallen to 960
Just wait next year let Dangote refinery come on stream and see the naira appreciate to 500

When you go and ask bdc to sell 1pound for 960, go with a gun. You may need it

That guy is just being childish. My sister is on this platform, and I'll always tag her whenever someone is helping the masses out.

Nothing Musa no go see for gate.

@bolded, are you for real?

nairalanda1:


NO IT WON'T

This line is getting stale.

You have to know that NNPC is now a private company, and as a result any mass looting of the money would lead to the collapse of the NNPC as we know it. No money to loot again.

This is NNPC as a company borrowing money to pay for fuel without asking for it from government .


(No, APC is still a bad party)

The only difference between this and buhari is buhari borrowed cash to pay from future cash flow.

Tinubu borrows cash to pay using future crude sales

Realshima88:
There is absolutely no need for any falsification. Someone said only ikoyi marriage registry's certificate is valid for visa application. She said ikeja registry's certificate should not be used. I just want to know if she is right or wrong.
Thanks

Hello

UKVI can verify any document you submit. Recognizing is different from verifying.

So if you use falsified documents,they will know and that can attract 10years ban when caught


Cheers

Some of us used marriage certificate from local government outside lagos and no issues

Not to go back, we've been preaching for Nigerians to vote wisely for over 8 years now.

Many lamentations even by people who supposedly have jobs and earn average. The thing reach everybody las las.

Cant even pick calls from Nigeria anymore because situation hook people, any message you cant drop on whatsapp, forget it.

What pains me the most is the idiots that called themselves graduates that who to think differently from others are the ones championing and spewing thrash.....

se na one day Tinubu go build refinery?!... your country has being without a functioning refinery for about forty years now....an oil producing country for that matter!..... na Tinubu go come fix am now?.....it doesnt take a reasonable person to elucidate that what we are facing at the moment is a cumulative effect of successive failed administrations....Obasanjo, yaradua, Jonathan and Buhari are all failed leaders........

nothing Obi or Atiku would have done differently as regard fuel subsidy......so, all this shit happening is expected.....

And the Dangote that is building a refinery at the moment said he will sell at international rate......SMH...corrupt leaders and dishonest followers

a more sensible would not have taken subsidy off petrol and FX without simulating what the impact will be and how to ameliorate it.

Don't assume other candidates reason at Tinubu's level. The fact that he support and boasted about Buhari for 8 years says a lot

Good morning Friends,
Sorry I’m coming up with this on a Sunday morning .

Good day nairalanders,

I'm a pharmacist and almost rounding off with NYSC. I have plans to start processing for Canada through Express Entry. I want to boost my points by learning French in full professional proficiency.

Pls suggest any good academy preferably in Lagos but I'm open to distant learning too. Thanks

May not be a substitute for an actual tutor but duolingo is good for learning languages. And it's largely free

grandstar:
Frankly speaking, I feel the government should simply lift the ban on the importation of frozen raw chicken. A ton can go as low as 400/kg of bought in tons from France. If a 20% import duty is placed on it, I am sure by the time it meets the consumers, the price will be no more tha N1,500/kg compared to the 2,400/kg presently.

That is one palliative measure Nigerians would definitely welcome

Ideally rather than ban importation of most stuff, I would have suggested imposing a high duty on it and using it fund specific subsidies in d sector.

Agriculture is highly subsidized in about all developed countries. In Nigeria it had very few subsidies and this administration aggressively took them away with thinking critically leaving the sector in a worse state.

Another thing is most poultry farmers go into crude futures contract to raise working capital, selling their produce weeks in advances so they rarely benefit from market prices which have largely gone up consistently.

pansophist:


I agree. Some cultures are babaric when judged through the lense of other cultures. Levirate marriage is actually practiced in Nigeria.

When white people think of polygamy, it's so disgusting to them, but when we also think of a man forking a man, it's equally disgusting to us.

True

pansophist:
.
4. Levirate wives; This is related to number three, but differs in the angle that a man marries his late brother's wife, taking care of her and the children. Giving them a home and protection.

A man that can lay with his brother's wife when he is late can also lay with her when he is alive.

Also, if you cannot take care of your late brother's wife and children with obtaining sexual favour from the wife in the name of marriage, something is wrong somewhere.

This is crazy on many levels

amanze54:
Please I need some guidance, advice and feedback...

I have two offers which I am divided on which to choose

I am through with my MSc in Data Science here and already on tier 2 courtesy of my wife who got a sponsored support work

The first offer is a prison officer with a starting salary of 28k.

The second offer is a Department of Education Financed training to be a physic teacher with a bursary of 28k for 10 month, I will be paid 19k while 9k will go to the Secondary school providing the training which is affiliated to a university. At the end I will be given QTS ( qualifications to teach) and a PGCE. Now at the end of the training, I am required to look for a teaching job.

I feel the offers are low. For someone not seeking visa sponsorship, I believe you should be able to get much higher

kewelljoseph:
Hello house, pls want your opinion. I’ve been following this thread for a while now and I want the people doing bolt to advise me. I wanna give out one of my cars to my friend ( Corolla 2010 sport ) for Uber / bolt purpose. But I don’t wanna be too greedy and also don’t wanna be stupid. I see some people post they earn 33k to 45k per day here and I’m wondering if it’s true. Because with that calculation , lemme use 30k minimum per day times 6 days a week that’s 180k per month. How real is this pls??

if you've been following this thread, you wont ask this question. The average driver here lives better than a salary earner. Most gross 800k-1M a month and some even say they earn more with the fuel increase

As the owner of the capital, requesting just 20% of revenue is not bad.

Ensure you get a strong surety though

Gentlelife50:


Wetin concern us?
We will make more money, na advantage to us naa.

Since the last oil price increase, FX has depreciated slightly more, also oil price has climbed from 70s to 82usd per barrel.

Expect another price increase when the importers currently buying arrive Nigeria.

Also, Ukraine attacked a russian oil tanker last night in retaliation for russian damaging its grain export facilities and harassing inbound ships. It appears ukraine is looking to hamper Russia's ability to export oil via the black sea. If the situation escalates, prices will go up further.

Fugazy2023:

Shell has been in talks with Eroton Exploration and Production Company Ltd. since 2019 to sell some of its Nigerian oil fields. The company is reportedly looking to offload some of its assets in the country as part of its strategy to focus on more profitable areas


Thank God for Subsidy removal. No more free money

Subsidy has no impact on exploration and production activities. The cost of doing business is simply much higher in Nigeria than than other places.

Also, they are starting to invest in renewables, so they are pulling out funds from less profitable assets

Tob456:
I have an almost 8 months old daughter with my ex girlfriend. My daughter was sick for 2 weeks and she was admitted to the hospital for a week and 3 days my family were very supportive as usual.

My daughter is doing so much better and she got discharged last week friday I give God all the glory....

You're not married to her, why should she live with your parents even temporarily?

If she has a boyfriend, will he be comfortable knowing she lives in her ex-boyfriend's house or you assume she has nothing else to look out for romantically.

One if the best gifts for a child is a stable home. If you are not a couple with the childs mother, you can't get that in full

stillmaticOG:

I've called twice already and it was escalated today. I was told not to call again until after 15 days. I don't know what else to do.

pray and hope for the best....if your dependant is not processed also, the main applicant's application likely has something they are interested in

stillmaticOG:

On Wednesday would make it 3 weeks. I got an empty nsf on the 13th. A day after our bio. My wife hasn't gotten any email since bio.

I think you need to chase..an empty NSF could be an error and mean they are instead waiting on you for a response

Mayeldah:
The whites are now the scammers, we are the victims.

All these 'I want a better life for my kids' crew, there you have it. Thread with caution; all that glitters is not gold.

In fact, if you earn at least a N300,000 monthly here in Nigeria, be reluctant to travel abroad. You are not doing badly.

left to the UK with 5 children as a student and is complaining things are hard...bunch of jokers

loosecanon50:
Traveling abroad without proper planning will always end in tears.

You get it bro, many will jump on it without reading it well.

A man has 5 kids, wife is a student and so cant hold a full time job. How will the family not struggle in a new environment he is yet to integrate into fully?

Even the whites dont breed like rabbits despite having government support and many other privileges

The way some people easily get pissed off and begin abusing on this thread...smh

They use the spirit of danfo driving to drive uber

Raw2:
I say something on this thread, many of you don't take it, but will always find a way to twist my words later.

Ever since the fuel increment I've always maintained that the effects on driver will be less if they dump bolt that charges 25% and port to indrive and pay 10%. I've also harped since last year on the decline of bolt. I stated why and keep showing everyone how it's easier to gross 40 - 45k daily on indrive and not bolt.

How you listened to a video from a non-active driver, while ignoring my facts as an active daily driver, and use his limited facts as evidence against what I know to be true, may not be fully understood by me.

What you guys do on this thread is no longer my business. I asked everyone who wants to make 40 - 45k daily to mail me and be added to a telegram group where they can hear me out without being distracted by noise from this thread. They did and they see what I say is true. This is my current week. This is my own fact. No depleting demand from my end. You can argue as usual, but I'm done debating you guys.

Mon - 45,600
Tue - 40,100
Wed - 40,800
Thurs - 41,600
Fri - 45,200

Offlines 12,400

Total 225,700 commission 10% I'm yet to drive today and tomorrow.

You can all continue with your pity parties. I'll no longer be part of them.

No harm in debating some issues here, bro, there has just been a general toxicity on the thread, that isn't helpful.

You may not realise it, but even the dashboard you shared weakens your argument.

As long as I remembered and I think you've been on this thread for some years, you've grossed approx 1M every month (even when petrol was less than N100 a litre). So even with a 25% cut, you do approx 750k at least.

At >N600 per litre, you still do N1M and I understand even Indriver has raised their prices but not as high as bolt/uber, which suggests you do less volume. I also predict if indriver attempts to match pricing on bolt/uber, they will get less riders.

Lastly, at the current projections (assuming 10% service charge) , you are doing 900k but at fuel of N600 per litre. Your true profit (after all costs) is probably less than when petrol prices were lower.

So the argument that the fuel increase is not good for drivers is still sound in my opinion

Luxurydriverng:
Hello house hope you all are ok?

So I haven't been driving lately due to the high cost to run ridesharing and the general low demand on profitable rideshare app like Uber as affordable rider app like indriver and Rida is taking more market share.

Lately, I have been considering switching from ridesharing to a gig more profitable.

From my research, these are some alternative high-income skill anyone can acquire with dedication and commitment, so if you plan to quit rideshare in the nearest future and improve your income and general earning potential. Here are some skills you should consider.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p18EipDQJos

I recall mentioning that the price increase will dampen demand.

Also the market does not have infinite price elasticity, there is only so much of fuel cost increase the app companies can pass on to customers who likely are still at same income level. If prices get too high, customers will seek alternatives.

Lol. You still dont get it. You are the ignorant one. That figure is probably downplayed. It is the figures announced by US. We know that is not the real figures. It surely exceeds that. We know it was reduced to prevent backlash. Money US donated to Ukraine already exceeds a trillion dollar.

Everyone knows this.

No point arguing pointlessly with you especially as you have no hint or evidence that the US budget is doctored...or do you think they do budget in the US the way your people pad it in aso rock.

If you understand the economy of Russia is just 7% of that of the USA and Russia will almost definitely lose reserves of about $300bln stuck in the West plus the lose of key markets, you'll understand if its down to economic ruin Russia is at risk, more prone than the soviet union but you don't do facts, so I rest my case
