Sabi girl. Though even when paid handsomely, some of these salesboys/umuboyi dey steal millions of money from their ogas.

[color=royalblue]It is a month, not a week. An error on my part.

I don't know how 30k, 70k a month is good for someone that works 6 days a week, from morning to evening. I mean, you spend all the productive hours of your life a month for 2,900 a day.

I would rather be a bus conductor, hawk Gala and Coke in traffic than do such a job...[/color]

OK. Now I understand. Since it's a month, that's cruel. I agree with you, 70k or 30k a month is wickedness and you'd see all these millionaires at markets paying their staff such an inhumane amount. It always makes me sick to my stomach.

BlueRayDick:
This job is not better than your friend's and I will tell u why.

Your friend definitely resumes 8am and closes 5pm (These are the official hours) , meaning she works 40 hours a week (i.e 8 hours daily x 5 days a week). She coming back leaving 5am and coming back 9pm is not peculiar to her; it happens to almost all workers who work on the Island and reside on the mainland or outskirts of Lagos.

Your friend works official 40 hours a week and gets paid close to 150k which is way over the minimum wage. If u notice, the job advert izzou reacted to carefully require that the candidates should stay within a particular axis. If anybody not staying within that axis applies, they will be worse off than ur friend because they will spend majority of the meagre 70k on transport fare and stay considerable hours in traffic like ur friend.

There are roughly 4 weeks in a month. If the person lives far from the place of the said work & earns 280k in a month (70k per week), and spends 140k a month on tfare and feeding at workplace, he still has 140k with him.

If my friend who earns 150k, spends 70k a month on feeding at work & commuting from mainland to island, can you see the guy on 240k a month is better off, though he works just an extra hour more than her?


Edited: it's 70k a month. That's unfair.

BlueRayDick:
Where did u see 70k x 4 weeks? 😏

The job simply says 50-70k salary meaning the person will earn between 50k and 70k for a whole month.

While 70k might seem fair for a job that does not require any tertiary education qualification like B.sc or HND, the work hours is actually not so cool.

A typical work hours as recognized by international.labor organization is 40hours per week ( i. e 8 hours daily x 5 working days in a week.)This job however requires u to work 54 hours a week (i. e 9 hours daily x 6 working days in a week). I believe that is what Izzou is reacting to. Paying minimum wage for a job that requires one to work 14 extra hours weekly is actually cheating but like u rightly said, Naija na shiiit hole.

I didn't read the job description, I only saw Izzou's post, hence why I concluded from it. From the post it said the 70k was for a week, so when I times it by roughly 4 weeks that makes up a month, the amount is quiet reasonable.

But, however, I didn't know the number of hours the person was supposed to work was that much. People work longer than that number of hours in Naija and still earn paltry sums at the end of the month.


A friend of mine lives on the mainland & works on the island. The girl comes back roughly around 9pm on most days due to traffic depsite the office closing by 5pm and she leaves by 5:30am every day to meet up on time at work. She doesn't earn up to 150k a month. That offer is it not better than hers?

[color=royalblue]70k a week from Monday to Saturday

9am to 6pm..

70 thousand naira....

Chineke, biko napu Ekwensu ike..[/color]

Bro, people earn 30k a month as sales girls (many or some of who are graduates) in many markets, and you think this is not a good offer in this shit hole of a country? In this harsh economy? 70k times 4 weeks, how many graduates earn the total amount in a month in this country?

I don't know who recommended The Devil's Hour on here early last year that made me download it and kept it on my phone since then, but whomever you are, God bless you plenty.

What a fantastic series. British series are just way different!!

GracieX3:
I gave you the reason for horror movies.

Not all movies (from different genres) make it to Nigerian cinemas. There are many reasons why a movie will not make Nigerian cinema-

1. If a movie is not released widely in America
2. If a movie has LGBT content
3. If the cinema owners feel like the movie won't sell well in Nigeria.

I feel number 3 reason, and it's the reason I've given earlier, is the reason why horror genre don't make it to the cinema in Nigeria.

How many Nigerian movie lovers even go to cinema to watch a movie let alone watch horror genre? The last time I saw a movie at the cinema, the room was littered with empty seats. We werent up to 30 in the cinema room and that was on a Sunday o. Things are very hard in this country so the cinema owners would always go for movies that would draw movie lovers to their cinemas and make them money and horror movies are movies Nigerians prefer to watch on high seas. Nigerians prefer to watch blockbuster movies & horror genres are hardly in that category.

GracieX3:
Wrong. That is the reason. The cinema owners show movies according to the market (customers' taste). Most Nigerians aren't into horror movies. Thanks to religion and superstitious beliefs. Nigerian women especially. You can even ask our very own Ishilove.

Movies like La La Land & Manchester By Sea that weren't shown in Nigerian cinemas, were they also horror genres?

GracieX3:


Can you imagine? Nosferatu will not probably show in Nigerian cinemas.

Of course, the typical superstitious average Nigerian will not see a pure horror movie. Thus, pure horror movies aren't popular demand in Nigeria.

Cc abduleez1

I don't think superstitions are the reasons why Nigerians don't see Hollywood horror movies, I just think it has to do with the fact that most Nigerians would prefer action movies genre in a cinema than the horror genre.

The cinema owners are not helping either, they select movies to display based on a certain demographic of viewers and thus abandoning other genre which they think wouldn't fetch them money.

Ugarte appreciation post.

engrelvis:
The only mistake Amorim made yesterday was playing casemiro as a centre back. He was horrible

We played Ipswich and Bodoe in the space of 5 days and still have a match on Sunday, don't you get the idea of rotation?

Edgy finish thanks to our foolish twins - Gbanacho & Gbaford, but I go manage the 3 points like that.

CrystalTiger:
Where does Mainoo come in please?

I feel for the boy..

At this point, na winning matter most wether Mainoo plays or not.

Casemiro & Dalot, two mörons.

Nice one, Rashy.

I love you, Onana. No Diddy.

Garnacho is a moronic dıngbãt!!

chrisley024:
the idiot has started again

I don tire

WTH is wrong with Dalot?

All those beautiful interplays ruined by Dalot.

Ugarte is fearless and fit. We need him for the rigorous activities ahead.

CapitalCee:
Unpopular Opinion, Garnacho is playing well in this match

It's not unpopular, he's playing well.

Mazaraoui is too good. Most talented defender in this team.

Give Amorim a chance and back him with the right players and this team will cook.

Einstein said stupidity is doing the same thing all the time and expecting a different result.

I don't know what the future holds, but I admire the fact Amorim is bringing something different to the table and sticking with it.

If he succeeds in implementing his style, the team might finally get back to the old United we sorely miss.

larride:
Didn't this same Ipswich beat Spurs in their last game?

The person you quoted is a Chelshit fan.

pu7pl3:
SWARM officially added to my watchlist.
Matter of fact I'm fast forwarding it to the top of my watchlist.

Edit:- false alarm 😤😤😤🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

There was sex scene of Chloe. In short I only watched that episode for the sex scene and abandoned it afterwards. 🤐🤐😁😁

joseph1832:
Im not a hater and still not a believer. Don't want to make any mistake. Will wait till the series is over before I eat, I'll do same with The Penguin. Lol

Of course you are not a hater. The right word I'd have used was "doubters". Lol

But even if you end up not believing in it, it's normal. We all can't like the same thing.

Kaycee7:
Need to get me the music that was playing during the credits roll of episode 1. Riot never misses with their music

I think Heavy Is The Crown by Mike Shinoda is the name of that soundtrack during credits roll of episode 1. Riot truly never gets it wrong with their scores.

Done with the first 2 episodes and I've got to say, the music score of Arcane is tantalizing.

Good Lord. I had to cop Freya Ridings' I Can't Hear It Now & Marcus King's Sucker before each episode ended.


Arcane is off to a great start and I'm loving it. 😩

I have a policy of waiting for a series to be complete before I feast.... But I'm breaking that rule for Arcane. I can't deal with spoilers. Let me feast on the 3 episodes as e dey hot.

oyaskii:
Is it sudden praise for Arcane that I'm seeing everywhere? Because I could have sworn that just a week ago, this ground was littered with comments about how the show wasn't all that and a product of overhype 😩

Well, I welcome the new converts and former doubters... but still......!😮‍💨🧐

Arcane.... Turning haters to believers.

NaijaMemes:
Imagine saying that a basic revenge anime with an overpowered MC, has a better plot that Arcane. Not only that, character building.

Arcane that almost all the main characters have gone through loss, failure an pain, which changed them.....


A simp will always be a simp sha. Dundee utd

Even though I thoroughly enjoyed Blue Eye Samurai, I agree with you that it was a basic revenge story animation. It's very interesting but not on the levels of Arcane if we are to add other ingredients like story arc, character building, incredible VFX, better plot; in short, Arcane is heads and shoulders above BES.

You'd gradually see the emotional processes most of them went through to get to the point they were..
