One of the positive things in 2020.

So 3 people from the above pic have gone to eternal rest.

Big tsunami for d family o

Nothing left for the resignees either.

I believe the current actions of President Trump not accepting defeat would have been condemned if were to be president of another country.

I still don't understand why Trump is behaving like most African leaders who see power as their birthday right.

His action has shown that Nigerians should be eternally grateful to President Goodluck Jonathan. Because to leave the corridor of power is not easy especially when u still have the security apparatus under your control.

I hope that outsider passed through Lokoja as well.

Fine Yahaya Bello hasn't been on the wrong side of the news these days. But in terms of Infrastructure, Yahaya Bello got f9

This man go just dey open mouth anyhow.

As for APC, dey no born them well make dey try rubbish

Yahaya Bello sabi the game sha

Trump should accept defeat and move on.
Power no be by force.

This is serious. No wonder Donald Trump and daughter Ivanka relocated to Georgia yesterday.

Power struggle no be only for Nigeria o.

Sonyboom:
Pls if it is only foolish comment u have to make do shut your foolish mouth up or simy go to hell.

Foolish comment?

Why the insult, don't let me open my mouth for u o. If not 2021, might not be OKAY for u.

Not everybody u can insult and Scot free. Watch your tongue I repeat. Thanks

In all honesty, it would be unfair for either PDP or APC not fielding an Easterner as presidential candidates.

The marginalization is obvious.

We have good hands in the East too[left][/left]

Nothing really change from this pic. The face and the big head.

Worst performing governors want to use covid-19 to shine..

Like Yahaya Bello like Ikpeazu

Did u work hard before talking of harder... Bros u are among the worst governors in Nigeria today.

I hope u do well this year.

But like play like play, this Buhari is changing something...

I remember Obasanjo signing 2006 budget in June or July 2006

Take for example those young lads who go to serve their oga as early as 12-15years of age. They learn the art of business right from teenage, they get to know customers and how the market fluctuate. Then after been settled 6-7 years later, finding their feet wont be difficult as they already have what is needed to succeed. They have the experience, the capital from settlement and the customer base(that's friends they made while serving)... then when the business is booming, their peers back home will think that they did blood money, but its just simple economics.

I have a friend that sale cloths in bales. From my findings, each bale cost 10k and he sells it between 11-13k depending on the quantity that you are buying. On the average he sells about 10 - 15 bales per day. Then during weekends, that's Friday and Saturday, he sells almost 20-25 bales. He has customers coming from Niger Republic, Chad and neighboring countries coming to buy in bulk. You can now estimate his monthly income. I can bet you that only a few multinationals in Nigeria will pay such amount for fresh graduates. And the funny thing is, when you enter this guy's shop, you wont even know that such income can come from that shop.

Take a time out and try to look out for wealthy business men around your area. Try to investigate how they all started, most of their business started very small and when they where young. Time is all its takes to grow a business beyond recognition. Believe me, if you can manage and maintain your business for 3 years plus, then you have crossed the red zone. All factors been favorable, the experience you have gained over the years will see you through to greater heights.

There is a man I know that own a big pharmaceutical company in Lagos, the last time the man came to our branch, he just started gisting me stories of how he started. He started with a small chemist shop before he married his wife who read pharmacy in school, through the help of his wife and her licence, they started expanding. More than 20 years down the line, he is among the top pharmacy company in Lagos.

If you hear the story of how A A Rano started, you will be shocked. But now look at where he is now. This man isn't a graduate, but bank officials are always after him. And there are lots of rich men like him who are not really educated, but their net worth now is mind blowing.

My branch manager usually make reference to two of our biggest customers who use to come to the bank to make transaction of 300-500k back then when he was a junior staff, but now those guys deal in billions of naira. If the bank is sending delegation to see these customers, it's the senior officials that goes. This is to show you how big these guys have grown. That's the power of business. There are lots of people I would have used as examples to show how business grows over time, but that will mean divulging privileged information so I will have to keep that aside.

Look at this scenario, 3 days after I resumed at my branch, there was this sales rep of an FMCG that approached me and was pleading with me to help him count his cash as he was running out of time. That day, there was lots of cue in the banking hall. So I took him to our bulk counting room and connected him to someone who helped him to count the cash. Since that day, we became friends and started communicating. At about 3 months later, he told me that one of the major distributors of his company folded and so he is trying to take the distributors right and make purchases in the distributors name without the main company knowing because he is still under the company's payroll. He succeeded in becoming a distributor, supplying to some of the super stores in the state. During the lock-down, he told me that what he does mostly now is to order for a container of good from the company, costing around 20m. That after he finish selling it within 5-6wks, he makes a net profit of about 1.2m. Which firm will pay its staff such amount within 2 months. Right now, he has about 5 big shops around town and two ware house. He is married, has two cars a house in the north and in the east and from the little interaction I have had with him, his biz is worth about 45m. This is within the space of 4 years of becoming a distributor. You can imagine what his net worth will be after like 10-15 years of been in the business.

There is this corper lady that sells roasted cat fish around my area. She choose a good spot, right in front of a bear parlor. Her fish ranges from 1200-1500 per one. This lady sells roughly 15 fishes per day with an average profit of N200/fish, some even N300. Thats roughly 60k a month. THis is a biz she does between 4pm to 10pm. Compare that to some bank contract staffs that earn between 40k-70k a month while working 8am-5pm.

If you own a keke marwa and ply a very busy route with good road, you can be sure of making 5k in revenue per day, that like 100k a month. Or if you feel you want to give it out, the return is usually around 2k per day. I know that some people will be shy cos how can a graduate be driving keke. But in this our country, anything that will put money in your pocket shld be tried as long as it's legal. Now, if the keke is yours and you are driving it your self. Each day am sure your net income will be around 3k. That's an average of 80k per month, much more than what 60% of companies in Nigeria will pay fresh graduates.

Another scenario, during the interview stage for this job that I got, I made friend with a fellow candidate. Turns out that the guy didn't made it as he wasn't called to resume when they called us. Three months later when I called him, he told me that he's learning a trade from his uncle in Lagos. Around middle of 2017, he called me, telling me that he is now on his own and asked for my prayers so he would prosper well. As at Oct this year, he bought a land in his home state and already building on it.

MODIFIED

OP, u must be a Kano base... This story looks familiar to a colleague of mine

If it happens, I will only believe it's time to move on.

What about you?

gaius01:
Arrrrrrrh

Let me quickly strike this.

Saudi Arabia Bans 18years marriage while here in Nigeria an 18 years old wife can marry.

did you see the rate of our stupidity? :-/


Saudi Arabia a Muslim country bans 18years marriage while here in Nigeria the North to be precise allow a girl less than that age to marry. they will tight it to religion.

Did you see the difference of an illiterate people in religion and a learned folks in religion?

Now for those Northern Muslim people standing behind religion to justify their claims on early marriage I hope you change since your role model country have change.

Islam originated from Saudi Arabia...
Sometimes I wonder if it's the same holy book I read and understood that my fellow Northerners are practicing...
Mistaken cultures and traditions to religion I think is their problem.

Some names I'm seeing on the list would lose if contest against me self...

viyon02:
so how long will it take.

As long as they receive official papers

They can't open base on mere pronouncement. Their top boss must communicate to them officially.

Going by the states I have been to

1. Ekiti
2. Anambra
3. Kano
4. Enugu
5. Cross River

Politics taken too far
