Was it not in Kwara where market women opposed one of their colleague for selling cheaper goods again? With strong union in place it can even sell for N10k.

Like seriously??

Oga Seun, kudos and keep up the good work.

Pls just a suggestion to improve user interaction and engagement with the site

Seun could you please give us a dislike button for NL comments?

When viewing comments, we come across comments that are agreeable to us and like such comments.

Dear Nairalanders,

For years, people have been alleging that Nairaland is a toxic place where people insult each other and exhibit uncontrolled tribal bigotry. So after my last thread, we decided to follow through by extending the mandate of our anti-spam bot to include dealing with toxicity.

Unfortunately, the roll out wasn't smooth: many innocent members were unjustly banned. We apologize profusely for this. We will keep tweaking the bot to make it more accurate. Meanwhile, please reach out to the mods and supermods if you are unjustly banned.

Hit me with your suggestions and complaints.

Pls does anyone have any knowledge of this mtn smart data plan?

Is it like a normal plan or are there any differences?

Pls is there any one who uses this plan? , am thinking of subbing for it

What are your reasons madam?

Koppaguard:
go for that tech, especially Web development and thank me later, I know what I have achieved with it so far, with that if you are serious coupled with good update, you can be carting away 500k monthly or more, sometimes I do make some people's one month salary in 3hrs or lesser. The secret is this, don't learn Web development for the sole aim of creating websites for people, though you can do that if work comes, but that shouldn't be your focus. Create websites that can generate money for you daily, I have mine, 3 with steady cash flow.

What sort of websites can generate income?

PulaPower:

Ahh! Oga. Where you see dat 1?

So people still go on dating apps even on this day? I thought those things are long outdated.

Hmm, this your comment eh. It's like your the one that's outdated

Makunahatata:
I work in tech, specializing in product design and animation. While I don't use the internet every second of the day, my work relies heavily on stable and fast connectivity.

For instance, I use Figma for UI/UX design, which is an online based program and also requires constant downloads of high-quality materials for projects. Prototyping ideas(especially animation areas) and collaborating with clients also demand reliable internet. A stable connection is crucial for meetings, ensuring I'm on the same page as my clients.

In team projects, a poor network can hinder progress and slow down the team ,and you don't want to be the one to represent village people slowing down progress, also you can easily loose inspiration or run out of ideas quickly due to frustration. The same applies to animation work, where uploading and downloading heavy files is a regular task.
There are other things I can't remember right now that used to frustrate me with bad internet. Moreover, my wife also works from home as an online customer service representative, which requires constant access to reliable internet. This was one of the reasons I decided to switch.

Thanks for the response boss 🙌

adaperry25:
it's useless posting the vacancies then since it's based on recommendations.

Sadly, that's the Nigerian way, even when government agencies post vacancies, those who get the jobs are not those who will go through the recruitment process

it's all a formality

Makunahatata:
ordered it from their website after Airtel and Mtn don frustrate my life, and it was delivered to the nearest DHL to me,so I picked it there, tho the price for household monthly sub has jumped from 38 to 75k..but it's worth it if u use it for work and need very fast internet and a heavy data user, everyone in my house like up to 5 people connect to it, and even the TV is connected as well ,I now stream movies/ football without lagging.

When I see heavy data users like u, it amazes me and I always wonder, especially when u say u need fast data for work.

Pls I don't mean to intrude -what gets me scratching my head is-, what sort of work do you do that wud make u make that switch to Starlink despite cost implications

75k for data sub per month is no joke

Do you know how many millions those drugs are worth?

The money for the surgery is nothing compared to the worth of the drugs

Where is the completely USELESS labour now?

This 1 now they wil keep quiet, if its increase in airtime tariff they will be busy shouting upandan 😕

mushroomFarm:
2 Turkey laps 0.6kg 2,000 naira (146 rubles)

Pork meat 0.6 kg 3,300 naira (236 rubles) Pork is actually pretty expensive. High demand I guess. Also from my last post some people were annoyed that I eat pork which is strange . 'beef' is a god in one country. Besides here in the cold, meat, especially pork is vital for survival.

Sea food (Mature Squid about four) 303 rubles (4,250 naira)

Total of how many rupies chief? 🤔


Total of about 9,500 Naira. However I paid only about 9,000 naira for these items because like I mentioned earlier, some stores offer discount for students if you carry your student Identification card with you.

You might be wondering if I only want to eat meat or why I don't buy other things. Well my church pastor who is obviously a Russian often sends us (African students) food items like rice, potatoes and spices so I hardly buy these items. Also we tend to buy potatoes collectively in large quantities during summer when it is even much cheaper.

Happy new year Nairalanders.

Shout-out to my Nairalanders of the year
Falseprophet1 and another guy (I actually don't know his moniker) but he is that guy that always say "non-virgins aka boreholes" I don't share his views oo but it cracks me up everytime I see his posts 🤣🤣🤣

Total of how many rupies chief? 🤔

jazzman7711:
And your solution is to make it worse by de marketing yourselves further?

The politicians of other countries are perfect of course. They never take out loans and other stupid excuses you’re giving for disgracing yourselves online before the world.

Senseless.

You are the one that's clearly stupid, cos I neva told you politicians of other countries are perfect or don't take out loans,

So don't put words in my mouth

If the politicians of other first world countries behave just like our politicians behave, do you think they will arrive at the status that they are on the global stage today?


If the politicians did what they were supposed to, then there will be progression for everyone to see, and there is no better form of marketing than that.

HighQue007:
You are not making sense.
Politicians are just there for the temporary time but the damage of bad mouthing is permanent and you will be crying Nigerians are being profiled everywhere in the world.

Nigeria is a wonderful place and you are about to witness her greatness. The headquarter of Afrobeat is about to take the world by storm. Watch every December become Pilgrimage for big spenders. E just dey start no worry

He's making correct sense,

So, to you, is it that the damage of the politicians is not permanent?

The mismanagement and loans that the politicians have taken, that even our children's children wil still b paying, wil it have no impact on their chances in life and, the way even the younger generation will project Nigeria to the world

Calitoscassius:
Absolute rubbish! morrons like you always comparing America with your shit hole Naigeeria.



Your bad atitude alone on here is demarketing Naigeeria. You think people don't read news about the corrupt system, terrorisms, murders and kidnapping. Scams done by Naigerrians all over the world. Armed robberies and lawlessness police extortions, brutalities and bribery. No need ONE, attention seeking south africa irrelevant woman to tell us about Naigerria. Kemi Badenoch a very influencial woman already make us aware of that and i will take Kemi's view on Naigeria anyday than ONE south african woman. Who probarbly was paid to come on social media to yap rubbish.

If you don't agree with other people's opinions no need to call them names or make derogaory marks about them. You are a typical uncivilised Naigeerian demarketing you Zoo. Clearly.

No mind dat guy, it's like he's looking for cheap popularity

jazzman7711:
You are very stupid with no sense.

Is Nigeria the only country with problems?

Do you know that 40,000 people are shot dead in America every year?

How many Americans have you seen saying to foreigners or on social media, ''Don't go to America or you will get shot''?

Why are they not saying ''Oh, because our leaders won't solve the gun crime issue, we'll de-market the country and warn the world not to visit America because it is unsafe and insecure'', which is your DUNDERHEAD reasoning?

Can your thick head not find anything good to say about your environment when FOREIGNERS can come in and see it and are broadcasting it to the world? Mr self-hatred and inferiority complex.

The other day it was one Cameroonian guy touring Nigeria and showing the world that this country is actually fast developing, contrary to what is commonly thought, due to Nigerians running down and insulting their country online.

It is your type who go telling foreigners not to visit Nigeria.

YET THEY ALL VISIT AND NOTHING HAPPENS.

This video is for utter idiots like you with no common sense.

Every day, ''leaders, leaders, leaders''.

When the world stereotypes your country negatively due to your LOUD MOUTHS, it will not impact a single ONE of those 'leaders'.

It will impact YOU AND YOUR OFFSPRING who will be shunned by the world in business collaboration, investment, tourism, and everything else.

Stupid people with no sense.

Look at a small girl from South Africa schooling you.

Sense of the big picture: ZERO.

I saw a commercial on dstv yesterday for a pizza 🍕, the advertised cost was 299 rand

😳😳

For a whole pizza!

I just felt so sad inside.

I thought to myself - where on the face of this planet, can u get a FULL pizza for N300?

SMH 🤦🏾‍♂️

Dis guy! It's like ur the 1 without sense.

Just like the guy u quoted said; a good economy/policy/country; a good product will sell itself.

We've had it terrible in this country for many decades.

Ur saying everyday we're blaming our leaders, but they are the very people we should blame, because they have been given a mandate to steer us towards a prosperous country a brighter future for the younger generations.

What Nigerians are asking for is simple, good governance.

This is what a search shows to be 'good governance'. When u look at it, c if your able to make that comparison between America and Nigeria again.


Citizens consider good governance to be when public institutions:

🔸 Manage community assets well

🔸Conduct public affairs responsibly

🔸Ensure human rights are realized

🔸Are free from abuse and corruption

🔸Take the rule of law into account

🔸Produce results that meet society's needs

🔸Make the best use of resources

🔸Improve public decision-making

🔸Increase accountability and transparency

🔸Enhance trust in government

🔸 Empower marginalized populations

🔸Promote a more informed citizenry

🔸 Provide opportunities for everyone to voice their opinions

🔸Ensure everyone has the right to freedom of association and expression

🔸Are participatory, consensus oriented, responsive, effective, efficient, equitable, and inclusive.

Do you imagine that if Nigerians experience good governance they will be speaking negatively?

mctfopt:
Got myself a QCY HT05, wasn't expecting much from it. But I'm blown away by the mid and bass and clarity. Also it's sure has a faster connection to my phone compared to my previous 1More earbud that I bought for thrice the price. Found it be super light especially when compared with my Edifier. ANC not too bad when you come to think of the price range.

Give QCY a chance if you are in the market for good earbud that won't break the bank.

It's a solid 5 star from me

How much did you get it?

They are talking about impacting positively on humanity, u are talking about not being social

APOPTOSIS:
Curb Boko Haram first.., make it reassuring again.
The Northern part used to be my favorite in the late 90s.
If Nigeria was good and reassuring, most Nigerians would prefer to reside in the North.
Kaduna, Plateau have a semblance with California

Plateau is not North

Beekeeper1:
I’ve always been that person who says, “Naija till I die!” I grew up here, spent my whole life here, and I love this place like it’s part of my DNA. The food, the culture, the vibe—there’s just nothing like it. Even when my friends left for “greener pastures,” I was here, holding down the fort. “Who will remain to fix Naija if we all run away?” I’d joke.

But last month, my patriotism met its match.

It all started on a Monday morning—the kind that already feels like it’s out to get you before it even begins. I had a big presentation that day, one that could finally lead to a promotion. I got up extra early, suit pressed, slides perfected, and was out the door, determined to make a great impression.

Then NEPA happened. Halfway through my morning routine, the lights went out. No electricity. “No wahala,” I thought, scrambling to find my power bank for my phone and a flashlight to finish getting ready. I wasn’t going to let a little thing like no power stop me, right?

As I headed out, I noticed the fuel gauge blinking “empty.” Just my luck. I made a quick detour to the petrol station, only to be greeted by a line that looked like half of Lagos was there. An hour later, I was still in that line, watching the time tick by as my promotion dreams started slipping out of reach. But I finally got fuel, threw a thank you to the attendant, and sped off, hoping to make up for lost time.

And then I hit the traffic. Not today, please, I thought, gripping the steering wheel, whispering every “I cast and bind” prayer I knew. But Lagos traffic doesn’t answer prayers—it just swallows time, no matter how hard you beg.

I was almost at the office when I got stopped. You guessed it—police checkpoint. The officer took his sweet time inspecting my documents, dropping hints about “something for the weekend,” and I watched the last precious minutes melt away. By the time he finally waved me off, I’d missed my meeting.

When I finally got to the office, my boss didn’t even let me explain. She just gave me the look, that one that says, You had one job. I knew then that any hope for that promotion was gone.

That was it. I was drained, frustrated, and completely over it. It was like the universe was telling me, “Oga, it’s time to go.”

I don’t want to leave Naija; I really don’t. But sometimes, loving this place feels like being in a relationship with someone who just can’t get it together. You see the potential, the charm, the good heart underneath, but there’s always something—always some last-minute obstacle, some hidden clause that makes it so hard.

So yeah, I have a ‘japa’ plan now. I still love this place, and I always will. But maybe I need to love it from afar, with a little less “NEPA wahala” and a bit more stability. It’s a bittersweet plan, but hey, maybe one day I’ll come back, and Nigeria will be ready to meet me halfway.

Until then, my ‘japa’ plan is officially on standby. Because as much as I love this place, sometimes love just isn’t enough.

Am curious, pls What is your japa plan in this economy?
