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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

I salute the maturity of the OPM pastor. Now I'm beginning to fear for these boys. I hope they won't get distracted and end-up engaging in criminal activities to survive coz they're beginning to sound unserious. Last thing I want to hear is any of them getting arrested and deported for committing a crime. I wish them all the best regardless.

The dont have needed papers to stay if not schooling, likely have no marketable skills there for a skilled visa and if its Northern cyprus they are in, it is probably harder because it is outside the EU and they will be stuck there. The country is a den of yahoo boys though, so they may go that way.

I don't blame them though, Nigeria was probably hell for them. Even the way they look now, it's not hard to understand they never want to set foot in Nigeria

Mindlog:
N1.3m as rent on a monthly income of N400k?

I dont think there is any average place on the mainland where you will get a 1 bedroom flat of less than 500k-600K. Gbagada, Ketu, Akoka, Mushin, Surulere , Gbagada...you will likely not find, particularly not one with parking space and safe. Except you want him to move to Ikorodu or some other distant location.

If he is married and needs a 2 bedroom apartment , then definitely its atleast N1M in those places for a decent one

CheerfulGiver:
In contrast, requests will increase. You're not putting into consideration the amount of car owners who will park their cars or sell them off because they can no longer afford them.

Customers have no choice. App companies know this. This is not the first time there has been a sharp increase in fuel prices in the last 5 years. Besides, current prices are comparable to what they are in December/January. If there was going to be a blip, it would have been obvious by now.

Lagos state has no public transportation alternative that would make up for the unaffordability you're talking about which will make riders maintain status quo.

Yo. I'm not successful by thinking average.

I am not sure where you get your stats from, but driving your car is likely much cheaper than uber.

I recall I used to buy 5k fuel for my corolla some years back to commute to the Island and it last 1 week. At same time a trip to the Island during morning surge was about 2-2.5k. So I could in theory make my fuel money by carrying a passenger to the Island in the morning and at night when coming back. At some point in time, I did the morning one and so riders will pay for the fuel after just 2-3 days of a single morning trip to the Island.

So what you should be concerned is that many car owner will start doing commercial with their cars instead of driving empty to the Island. This is also bad for those doing uber business because they will take lower, all they need is to cover their fuel cost and still provide similar comfort.

CheerfulGiver:
Majority of emailing customers are runs girl who have office jobs as side hustle. You think a hike in fuel will make them stop their business or make them jump buses while wearing skimpy dresses? Dey play.

If their customers are not willing to pay significantly more, they will also have to make adjustments same way regular worker do.

A sharp increase in price will make uber a luxury for many, they cannot give you what they don't have.

There is something called elasticity of demand. If the price increases by 300%, don't assume demand will keep steady, How many Nigerians, even those working on the Island earn 200K and how many will their employers provide a cost of living adjustment to? Someone earning 200-300K a month, how many times will they be able to afford uber from the mainland to the Island at the expected fare.

Don't assume you'll make more money. An outright 300% hike in an economy where almost everyone uses petrol for something will push many middle class people into poverty which is bad for your business I believe. Probably good new for the danfo guys because they are at the extreme bottom and anybody that wants to commute cannot escape them except you decide to trek or cancel your trip.

The only person that gains here are the ride companies themselves, each time the fare is raised, they get an increase in revenue without suffering the cost increase because they have no asset in the business. The cost of setting up the app is largely a sunk cost, they are only exposed a little to the fuel hike.

You complain the cost of living is high but you frown at people willing to work for a lesser cost ...it's a hard delimma for the politicians.

Good morning house. What can a person do if your care agency does not have jobs for you when you get to UK?

Get another sponsored job asap. Your visa condition requires you to be working for a certain number of hours with your employer.

Our culture is one that promotes people being flashy, so many Nigerians don't know how to maintain decorum. Tamiyu was just the unfortunate one to display his own on the largest network in the UK, giving others a bad reputation but I don't think we are inherently bad people. Nigerians are a very helpful lot if you are being reasonable too.

Indians & Chinese travel in greater numbers but don't make so much noise. Indias in particular not only migrate the immediate family, most migrate also their extended family. Nigerians are learning where they are but they are quiet about such things.

samuel321:
Good morning everyone. Please I need tips from you, I just sent out my 1000th application right now. I've sent out series of applications to different care homes since January but none has been successful so far. I don't send out the same CV to every companies, I check their list of requirements and update it.

I have my care cert, PCC, Ielts result, Tuberculosis test, but the PCC and tuberculosis test is already expired, I thought the validity was also 2years like the Ielts result. Infact I have volunteered in an hospital for 6months. If there are tips you can give me, please give me as it will be highly appreciated. Thanks

I guess you are applying from Nigeria. I don't think getting a job in the UK should be this hard.

If it's from outside the UK, naturally many companies will consider people in the UK first for any job before undertaking to sponsor someone from Nigeria. Also, there are probably also a lot of people making from outside the country also.

STENON:
Please my People, I am applying visiting visa for my Parents, it is a self service thing and I have uploaded all documents online. Please what documents would they be expected to take along for their Biometrics apart from the appointment letter printed out and passport? Thank you.

I guess the important stuff is their passport, printout of the application form and payment receipt for any service booked with TLS.
