Did your father leave a will? If not, what's the nature of the marriage between your mum and dad (customary, islamic or statutory)? These questions are fundamental.

@stagger. I'm considering this biz and would like to have the manual. I hope it has been updated cos i can see the thread started 2 years ago. Kindly indicate d amount and send the payment instruction to ayandayo@yahoo.com

Thanks for this info on ekitikan. I notice u took the pains to post this on every thread that he features. U have prevented a lot of people from falling prey to his antics.

KaizenO: Please be wary of this guy called Ekitikan (also uses ‘Gade’ on this forum, although he appears to have deleted that ID). He is a fraudster! I am talking from personally experience after responding to one of his adverts on Nairaland. A word is enough for the wise!!

d7thcaller: Any bizn you will eventually start make sure your dont invest more that N1mil out of the N1.5mil. Keep d N500k as backup for the capital. You will surely need this my advice. Gluck
My two cents

Thank you for this piece of advice. I never thought of that. I'll put the 500k in a fixed deposit account (alternatively, i may buy CBN treasury bills with it- that bears no risk at all). House, Please i need biz idea on N1m now. Thanks.

I'm about to take a bank loan of N1.5 (to be repaid over a period of 4yrs)using a part of my salary as collateral. I would appreciate any biz idea that can yield some profit and also guarantee repayment. Much as i would like to invest, i don't want 2 put d family income in jeopardy. Any good biz advice would be appreciated no matter how time-demanding as my hubby has much time on his hands right now. No online biz please.

Are you for real?I'm planning to get a vanagon volkswagen soon. You've itemised all my fears abou this biz. Can i have ur contact details, phone no and physical address

Feelamong, i'm interested in treasury bills. i've sent u a mail

Interested in buying. How much is it going for?

Abeg job seekers, if u av an opportunity to write a test pls do even if u weren't invited. A friend of mine who works with UAC today wasnt invited for d test (he didn't even apply). He simply followed his friend to d test venue. One of the ogas saw him in his corper uniform and asked why he was not writing. He said he only followed his friend. The oga said 'so u be follow follow'. He got d hint and wrote d test. The rest is history. Today he works wt UAC.

@poster, a good number of law firms will employ you even without nysc cert. The top-notch firms are more interested in your high grades and advocacy skills. On my first job in one of these firms, i wasn't asked to submit my nysc cert. Also, you won't need a nysc cert if you plan to have ur own practice (except that u won't be able to deal with the CAC on incorporatn briefs). However, I'll advise that you obtain a nysc cert (either exemptn or discharge) just in case u decide to work for the govt in future or for a private organisatn with a strict stance on the subject.

Hmmm some even have senators as source. Na wa! What happens to those wit no contacts at all? Well, God dey

Thanks. Due note taken

I forgot to add this- u need to build a very strong social network. Start now! That's as important (if not more important) as the 'good grade'.

I studied law at the University of Ibadan. However, i'll advise you complete ur studies in OOU. The law curriculum is the same all over Nigeria and all law faculties are regulated by both NUC and Council of Legal education. Just ensure u finish with a good grade. U will also get the chance to meet other law graduates (both local and int'l) when u eventually get to d law school. There's more to law practice than d four walls of a university. I've met a number of OOU law graduates who are doing quite well in practice. Stay in OOU and focus on ur studies.

I lived in Capetown for a year while studying for Masters. Beautiful city! It is relatively safe but avoid the following areas- Gugulethu, Kayelitsha and Nyanga. They are black ghettos with reported incidence of xenophobic attacks. The coloureds live in areas like Bellville, Delft, Mitchell plain and Belhar. The coloureds are friendly but avoid walking around those areas at night. Some of my colleagues fell victims of armed robbery attacks while moving around those areas at night. The safest areas are the white dominated areas like parklands, protea hills etc. Avoid the trains as much as u can. If you must board trains, avoid coaches with only few people. Infact, sit in crowded coaches. The public transport system is poor. I advise you buy or hire a car. That will help a great deal especially at night.

Yes. This site is a blessing. I got a temporary job on dis site which sustained my family for 2 good months. I also got another job via nairaland b4 my present job.

@poster 'omo baba oni gas'. You've started again. When will you stop brooding over your inability to secure admission into a first generation school? You can top up your degree in any of the ivy league schools if your parents are as rich as you claim. Yeyenotu

I'm setting up a recruiting firm but can't afford a full office space. If you have an office that you would like to share, please call or send a text to 08084244904. The office must be within Yaba, Jibowu, Akoka and environs.

RIP. One of his usual phrases 'nigbati mo wa ni Oklahoma'. He liked playing diasporan roles.

Snipper all the way. Mix snipper with kerosene and spray it all over. It is very effective and economical. It costs 200 and can last for 2weeks.

Will there be Saturday banking (at first bank) 2moro in view of d suspended strike? Does any1 know?

Let's say NO to child abuse, child labour and human trafficking. Preserve the rights of the African child. Don't encourage child trafficking by engaging children as househelps. Let's make d world a better place.

Why would u employ a 10yr old as househelp? That's childlabour. In most cases, those kids are 'sold into slavery' against their wish. U should consider employing persons old enough to decide for themselves. Btw, there's very little a child of 8 or10 can do with respect to house chores.

@daniel, pls send info on sportbetting to my box ayandayo@yahoo.com

God works wonders. I'm a living testimony to this fact. I've been trusting God for a job since january. I applied to a government agency, did test and interview but wasn't called. I called them in October and was told that i wasn't successful, that all successful candidates had resumed. Surprisingly, on the first saturday in december, i got a sms at about 5.30am inviting me for a chat at d agency. I thought it was a scam considering d day n time. I went, met d director and was told to resume the following Monday. I resumed n got my letter. The Lord waived all protocols to for me. There was no human influence at all. I didn't know any1. God showed up big time. PRAISE DA LORD!

I understand ur plight. My younger sister did exactly what ur son did. We didn't know she was no longer in school until the time for NYSC came. It was negligence on our part. However, we asked her what she wanted to do. She said she would like to go back to school. We made her realise that she has to take some responsibilities for her actions. We sent her to a fashion school and she proved to be a fast learner. Today, she sews well and she's making some money. She's planning to go back to school (she's 26) but this time she's paying her way thru and may get married along d way. God will see u thru. Just pray for His guidance on this issue and don't nag.
