This is why if you are rich, Acquire power at all costs! Whether directly or indirectly. Lobby senators and representatives if you must, Bribe your way up to the top or risk letting one dumbo who doesn't even know how he became president to come fûck you up. Money is power only when you use it right.
Very true. I think Dangote understands this.

Career / Re: Workplace Criminality – Can An Employer Fire An Employee Over A Case In Court? by bellville: 7:46am On Mar 31, 2018
The company can terminate his employment. However in doing so, they should give no reason for the termination in his termination letter. In other words, no reference should be made to the criminal act.

Thereafter, criminal prosecution can commence.
Family / Re: Is This The Right Time To Call The Inlaws? by bellville: 7:33am On Mar 30, 2018
Obaao1:



There writer, sometimes, we blame our partners for making high demands without knowing that we are the cause. How plain were you to her when you were courting? Did you let her feel you can buy her the whole world? Were sincere with the qualities of gifts you were buying for her? Reading from your message, your marriage is not up to 5 years.
Now, reporting her to in-laws will not solve any problem. It is totally against marriage to report each other to in-laws because there is high possibility they will be sentimental their pieces of advice. The best person who can find solution to your problems is YOU. Understand the mood of your wife and talk to her at the right time be truthful and beg her not to send you out of office because her attitude is affecting your productivity at work. You don't need to prove that you are the man of the house but be gentle as serpent. If after pleading, she is still not yielding, please ignore her attitude and continue with your ability she will get used to it later.
All these will not work. I know a man going through this at the moment. They got the inlaws involved. Now the man is even more miserable. The wife and the inlaws subject him to serious emotional torture. The only advice people give him now is to fast and pray. We notice he divulges to his wife every piece of advice given by friends. The inlaws have taken custody of the children since last year and this bothers him. They still live together though.

Religion / Re: Anglican Church Refuses Man Holy Communion Because Of His Beard. Photo by bellville: 8:47am On Mar 09, 2018
The priest wants to avoid a situation where hairs from your beard would fall into the communion cup. In the Anglican church, worshippers drink from one cup. It would be unfair to other members if they drink the wine with pieces of hair. Why do you think restaurant/eatery staff cover their hair?

Business / Re: The Rise And Fall Of Online Retail In Nigeria by bellville: 3:07pm On Feb 12, 2018
To succeed in online retailing, you need returning customers. In other words, you must continue to enjoy patronage from people who have had good experience shopping from your store. Trust and integrity are the pillars. Spending huge amounts of money on adverts without delivering value to the customer would amount to nothing in the long run. You would only get one-time customers, not returning customers.

There's money to be made from online retailing but you must have what is called "customer obsession". You must be customer obsessed and not product obsessed. If you're focused on the customer, you won't sell fake products and you will deliver on time.

This is what has kept my online bookstore going since August 2015. Check my siggy. Place an order and we will demonstrate how online retailing works.

Education / Re: ABU Zaria Student ConstructsLeemah Mobil Barrier Sensitive As Final Year Project by bellville: 5:08pm On Jan 28, 2018
PrettyCrystal:
A very talented young man has got himself trending online after constructing a barrier sensitive autonomous car model which he did as his final year project at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria.

Read what the young man shared online;

Nigeria paid my school fees for five years!

So, I had to solve a grand problem in the transport sector.

This is Leemah Mobil, a scaled down model of a typical road car. You can't crash this car with half consciousness on the steering wheel. If it is to collide with a barrier in its front, it will automatically actuate the brakes. If something tries to collide with it from the rear, it will accelerate and evade the danger.

This solution models a typical accident scenario where rear end "shunt collisions" occur very regularly on our Nigerian roads.

These technologies are called Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEBS) and Rear Collision Warning and Evasion System (RCWES). Though the former technology is already existent on some of today's state-of-the-art cars, it is worthy to note that this is the first mention of the latter. I named this combination as Barrier Sensitive Accident Avoidance System (BSAAS).

OH, yes its my final year project titled "design and fabrication of a barrier sensitive autonomous car model". In partial fulfilment for the award of Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering...

Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. A school like no other I must say!

Now, this is a research work. He has contributed to the body of knowledge by improving upon the existing technology.

Kudos! Welldone.

Career / Top 5 Books In Nigeria For Marketers And Salespeople by bellville: 9:42pm On Jan 24, 2018
Sales is the heart of every business. Whether you work for a company as a marketer or sales representative or you own a business, having the right skills to close deals and sell more is unbelievably important.

Many salespeople learn mostly from experience to gain sales knowledge. However, you can cut down on your learning curve by learning from selling experts who have penned down their experiences. I have carefully selected these top 5 sales books available in Nigeria to help your sales career:

1. The Psychology of Selling by Brian Tracy
The Psychology of Selling has been described as a superb, practical, easy to read book which teaches the very fundamentals of professional salesmanship. It is a great book on selling for those new to the art of selling and top-performing salespeople. It is an instructional blue print, a roadmap to a successful sales career.

2. Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini

If you want to be successful in your sales career, you must have the ability to persuade others. You can improve your professional persuasion skills by following the six psychological principles that make people comply. Mastering these principles would lead to your potential clients or customers responding positively to your sales pitch. It has been described as a guide to getting what you need in a fair and ethical manner.

3. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

This is a classic that should be read as often as possible. Dale Carnegie says don’t try to be right. Instead, be genuinely interested in others and respect other people’s opinions. It is a self-help book for learning to relate with people.

4. The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino

Og Mandino tells the story of Hafid, a poor camel boy who eventually achieves success to teach aspiring salespeople the ultimate best selling principles. The Greatest Salesman in the World is a very interesting and insightful read.

We can't judge the structural stability from just this picture


but I can say when the slab was casted there wasn't room for concrete cover there...

hence the exposure of the reinforcement bars..

concrete cover protects the reinforcement bars from chemical attacks, rust, Fire...

so be sacred not if its covered...it is safe (my 2 cents)
Thank you very much

Properties / Re: I smell a Rat, pls help!! Should I Allow Mtn Mast In My Property?? by bellville: 1:46pm On Jan 12, 2018
sis, there are no proven health implications. Approach the issue like a business woman. Take the lease option but negotiate for a higher rent (they have an upper hand though) since it's a first lease. My mum has same on her land and it's been very rewarding. I can help you with the review of the lease agreement.

Hi all

Just got a msg from my caretaker that MTN are asking if I would sell or let out 30x30 of my 100 by 100 to them becos the want to site a mast there.

The letting they want is for 10yrs and payment is #2m. And to buy it also 2m.

Their are tenants in the front of the land because I built 2 bungalows there long ago.

This is in agbara ogun state, my question is does this seem reasonable?

Is it safe to be around these thingz as my tenants have young kids and I don't want to put anyone in danger.
