Currently a graduate with no job. Wake up every morning with so much expectations from family members and really not being happy with oneself due to economic situation. I have a laptop. Please IT gurus, which of the well paying IT skills can you recommend for me to acquire that can help me financially when I start applying it to meet people's need? I'm really confused at this point having not been able to secure a job. Save a brother please.

Sorry bro.... everywhere is in chaos at the moment and everybody is trying to just make ends meet! Hence, the reasons why everyone read and never commented!

Try any of the following:

1. Motion Graphics/VFX - Has a very steep learning curve and u must learn to sit down for long hours but the pay is good!
2. Web Design - U can learn this in weeks and start something up.
3. Mobile App - learn to to create mobile apps for phone, etc - steep learning curve but it is achievable if u are focused! Sitting for hours also guaranteed!
4. Social Media Marketting - instead of wasting your megabytes on social media, learn about the marketting aspect and get employed! Met one of my young sis in the choir in lag and she told me she was employed as a social media marketter and paid 40k! I was surprised anyway.


Atleast, these ones for now but u must have a computer system for the 1st three! That no 4 can be learn even if u have mobile phone!

May God help us all jare!

i greet you all nairalanders and everybody alive being able to read this. it's obvious we have great thinkers here on nairaland. there is one issue i have been thinking about for a long time now, but i have not come to conclusion of it. i have been trying to determine who determines ones success in life. is one the determiner of one's levels of success based on one's level of intelligence and efforts or is one's success dependent of one's compliance to the will of God?

Overall, God is and will always be and he has given us the choice to either succeed or fail in life!

So, we will make the choice! God won't do that for us!

That's why He gave us the power of "Free Will".

But majority of people make wrong/bad decisions and end up failing in life. And will believe that that's how God destined them to be in life!

Invariably, we are the major determinant of our success in life!



By the way, I got an email from u. Tried replying but your email obviously wasn't correct or working!

Whats up?

Hmmmm ... No surprises here na!

Why do I have a feeling there is more to this than we are being told?

Or does this have any connection with US moving their factories away from China to India?

I'm sure China will fight dirty to avoid US taking that move .... So i'm not surprised

Bhukkis:
I have a friend that is separated from her husband presently and she has married another man traditionally. The first marriage was a court and traditional marriage. She wants to go ahead with a court wedding with her new husband but I had to counsel her to first divorce properly from her first husband before going to court with her new husband. The problem now is that most of the courts now are shutdown due to covid-19 and the money the lawyer is asking for is close to 200k.
Is there any way that an agreement can be drawn up in which both parties can sign and the document will be notarized in court when they resume
Lawyers in the house, your legal opinion is required.
Thank you

She should get a divorce first o or the ex can sue for bigamy (or whatever name they call it).

She can scout around for a cheaper lawyer that can get it done for say 100k.

It will take time ooooooooooooo!

She should exercise patience before going into another court marriage o!

Trayceey:
A friend of mine just opened up to me about her relationship. She said when she met her man, she assumed she was younger than him because he looked so big and more mature than her and he also acts mature than her.

One day, they were discussing their age and she found out she was older, so she had to lie about her age. The relationship went on and the love grew stronger, then a day came, she asked him if he can marry a lady older than him, he said 'never' she asked what if it's just one year? He still said ' never'. Then she asked him that what if he later found out that his girlfriend is older, what would he do? He said he would end the relationship.

She said she couldn't bear it any longer and so she opened up to him about her age. That she's a year older than him. She wants him to know before it's too late. After opening up to him, she was expecting him to end the relationship but he didn't. He's still coming for her, he still loves her and wants to marry her. But she's withdrawing from the relationship because of what the guy said earlier.

Please advise her. I will show her your comments

What if he is older then acts like a teenager?

Age is just a number!

Maturity is all that matters!

heykims:
Chief, do u know how to apply for new driver licence in Abeokuta, the cost and the procedure involved?
Any agent to help in Abeokuta?

Yeah. 2 ways.

1. You could do it yourself via their website, go to vio officer, get your driving test docs, go to bank and do all those wahala or
2. Use an agent (who will of course add his own cut) but will save u some wahala!

There is one i use and he will be able to help!

ComputerWiz007:
Thanks am not anywhere close to abeokuta.. Am in Abuja. Why Is the price difference in each state.

Eeya.

I don't know why there is disparity in prices.

What i know is there is a standard fee for new licence and renewals on their website.

But if u follow the website thingy, u go do wahala and also, it will take a long time!

So, the price disparity might be due to "agents" fee

ComputerWiz007:
Please anyone I want to know how much it will cost to renew a drivers license currently thanks. Someone I know paid 16k at the office of the FRSC.

Its not more than 10 - 12k at IRS office!

If u are in abeokuta ogun state, go to oke mosan. Ask for IRS office!

U will get it in no time!

ensure u collect printouts as proof of payment!

hidhrhis:
their are many things that affect the human body and it is not staph
if you go to any white hospital if you carry out a urine test and it shows staph they will term it as contamination and take the sample again and if you are using any antibiotics as at when you took the tesst they will tell you to fiish the antibiotics and come back for the test cos when you are on a drug like antibiotics if you take some drugs it gives false result

I did all that bro!

Lets not derail this jare!

Lets help OP instead of arguing.

I have passed and overcome that stage and came out victorious!

Lets encourage and proffer solution to his problem.

Meanwhile, if u know the huge no of people who are battling this staph of a thing, u won't just talk about it likely!

I've met some fellas on this forum who have spent more than 590k on this stuff!

Anyway, i pray OP gets a solution asap!

And i hope OP is not TTC sha?

ChybuzzDD:
Ok, bros, keep treating Staph.
I hope you've tried the 2 strongest antibiotics so far in existence: Meronem and Tigecycline??
These 2 are the gods of antibiotics. You can make use of them, as I can see you have so much money to spend on that innocent Staph.
Goodluck.

Oga, no hating na!

I've gone past that stage!

Help the OP! Me, i don't need help!

I'm just trying to encourage him!

Not all this stuff u are shouting upandan!

I tell u say i be medical student or doctor before?

Park well jare!

johnrix:
Married men in the house, which do you see keeps your marriage - love for your wife or Respect for her?

On one hand, one lady who is all nice and sweet, puts all her emotions into the rship, but her attitude, intellect needs some work. You are ready to help build her, educate her but you fear you might not respect that much. Her dream is a loving husband.

On the other hand, another lady, is not the loving/romantic type type, a little cold, but she is responsible and smart. You respect her a lot, but it looks, you will both have to grow the love. She'll have the tendency, say any disrespect, I'm packing my bags instead of working things out. Her primary focus is to be respected in her marriage.

Lastly, what do you ladies want? I hear some women say love, some say respect, some say both. It varies based on those who believe strongly in love vs those who don't want disrespect from their husbands. But one thing is sure, most women deep down want one over the other.

Respect and love are part of the equation but they are not the main thing that keeps a relationship together!

One of the major factor is the will to not just get married but to "stay married".

Love is not enough to keep a marriage!

There are a lot of factors!

For instance, no matter how strong your love for each other is, something will happen that will make u get mad at your partner and the hot love gets cold and frozen like ice block!

What happens?

Friendship! Friendship built will keep you people going and from there, the spark of love will reignite and love continues!

That's just one of it sha!

Don't forget the God factor

AmIaYahooGirl:
Hello Nls,
I'm not really someone who listens to what people say but I just want to share this so that y'all can air your views.

I'm a young girl, 23 and an orphan, dropped out of school and came to Lagos to make ends meet. When I first came to Lagos, I stayed with a married female cousin of mine, along the line, the husband started making advances to me which I politely declined. He got angry and told his wife to throw me out of the house, and yes she did.

I was thrown out of the house without anywhere to go and as someone who has survived losing both parents at such a young age, I literally lived and survived in the streets. Did all sorts of menial jobs, hawked purewater, soft drinks, worked in a bar and all that before I finally got an apartment.

The story isn't quite necessary but when I get talking with people and I tell them that I stay alone, next thing I'll hear is "you're too young to stay alone... it's not a good idea...blah blah blah. Some older woman even told me to go back to my cousin's house and beg them so I can continue staying with them, another told me that it's better I stay with my boyfriend than staying alone.

I really don't understand all these talks, like despite all I've been through, isn't staying alone the best option? Or is there something wrong with staying alone as a single young lady?

Your humble opinion is needed, thanks

Eeya, ignore the noise and continue to live your life!

My dad too was really mad at me when i left my aunt's place at what age sef?

As long as u know what you are doing, please, move on with your plan!

Make a huge success out of yourself and show them you are quite fine living alone!

And let them know that despite "being alone now, you are not lonely"

ChybuzzDD:
Which staph??
Staphylococcus aureus is usually an innocent bacteria that leaves in our skins and sometimes nasal cavities as a normal flora.
It only causes minor skin infections like boils, cellulitis, infection of wounds or toxic shock syndrome in some women that use tampons.
Why are people and the Herbalists attributing so much diseases to it??
People should go to good hospitals to properly diagnose their problems, and leave Staph aureus alone.

Bros, i passed through that phase and I used antibiotics i have never heard their names before in my life.

The thing didn't go and it was hindering our conception cos myself and my wife were bouncing it!

So, don't just dismiss that thing OP is talking about like that!

Medically, that's what u people will say while people are having issues with the damn staph!

chimeziefranklin:
a lot of people are fighting d dreaded staphyloccocus without cure ,that includes me,i've tried a lot of antibiotics,herbs,supplement without success, i have spend close to 90k without being cured I don't even have money to continue the treatment, so i ask is it right for me to say staph is an incurable disease/bacteria/organism whatever u want call it,but probably you've bin cured kindly tell us how u went about getting cured .please for d so called marketers dont bother asking me to call cos i wont so dont waste space allow those with meaningful input to comment

What sort of herbs have u tried bro?

Staph is stubborn sha but can be sorted

ZeroShenanigan:
I'm above mid thirties, finished NYSC 2015 and i just secured a government teaching job after spending more than 3 years teaching in private schools. I met my wife earlier 2019, she was in her final year in school, we dated throughout the year and planned to get married after she graduated. She graduated and we make a move for our introduction, then we suggested to have the marriage before she go for her Nysc so as to enable her serve in our home state as I already have a rented apartment to start a small family.

As we were planning for the marriage, we were also planning her NYSC. She was required to have a medical certificate for the NYSC which of course required blood test including genotype. She came back with the result of her genotype as AS. That was the only time I remember to take genotype issue serious. Even if I have some little knowledge about it before, I decided to research more about it on the internet and also met some of my friends who are medically inclined. I came to realize my own genotype test is also important at that moment. I might have done the test in school but I didn't pay attention to it usefulness so I don't remember the result.

I don't usually fall sick except for normal malaria when there is mosquito bite, never had a drip line in my body for once, never slept in a hospital bed, I don't have any reason to take note of my genotype or blood test.

Her results then prompt me to have my own test done too which came out to be AS also. By these periods we have convinced our families to choose a date for the marriage so that we can have the wedding before her NYSC. Marriage is to hold in a week time when I got my own genotype result.
From my further findings about AS and AS couple, I discovered how risky it is for their offsprings. I tried to explain to her but she turned a deaf ear, she alleged me of trying to break her heart at that critical period. She reported to her sisters they tried to blame me but I make them all realized it's not my fault because throughout my visitation and introduction to their family nobody has ever ask us about genotype. I am an orphan, I don't have any closer family to guide me except for my sisters who can't wait for me to get married because of my age, they also had never thought of it as well.

My wife sisters gave us some examples of older couples who were both AS with only one or no sickler among their children. My wife also made a threat of killing herself or she kill me if the marriage didn't hold. She even suggested we proceed with the marriage and break up after few weeks of marriage because of the shame that may follow if we stop the marriage or maybe she was desperate because of the marriage certificate, I don't know. I maintained my stand of backing off the marriage but she reported to my sisters also. Her sisters and my sisters later tried to encourage us to go ahead with prayers since we have chosen the date. We were advised not to disclose our genotype result to anyone again because people will discourage us.

Even though I was skeptical about the marriage, it later commenced with less spending because the Nikkah was held in a mosque and a tent for refreshments.
After the marriage we tried to talk about it, and she told me, she was afraid, may be she was pregnant before the marriage that's why she insisted on going ahead with the marriage. She also revealed to me that she was not happy with the decision as well, means she also know the implications but she have to avoid the shame of stopping the marriage after inviting guests to the occasion.

During these period genotype before the marriage, my love for her reduced drastically because of her desperation and her refusal to understand the risk we are about to take. I tried to avoid pregnancy from our first month of marriage but I later gave up and she conceived immediately. Now she is closer to her delivery. We hardly talk or play together inside. We only discuss about feeding, maternity and things to get for the coming baby.
I discovered we quarrel over little things that can be over looked by lovers. I'm not happy in the marriage, I spend most of time watching TV or stay outside all day because of unresolved issues.

I'm planning to arrange for a divorce after she delivered the baby because this is my first baby and I would love to have 2 or 3 kids more. I can't take the risk of allowing any of my children to be a sickler.
Advise is needed if my plan for divorce is a good one and do I stand a chance of loosing anything?

Bro, you are just being silly and i really don't mean to insult u but just take it as it is.

Imagine if u had done the geno test and u were told "erroneously" that u were AA, would u be bothered? What if later u now gave birth to SS (God forbid) afterwards? Would u have doubted your baby's paternity?

See, problems will always come and that is life!

We must develop the ability to tackle any issues that comes our way.

U have loved this woman before now and u have promised heaven and earth to each other... why back out now?

I have people who got married when geno test wasn't the "in thing" and they have dozens of SS and life is going on.

See, i have taken care of SS kids and I know how difficult it can be but u just must decide to face this head on since your wife is preggy.

U only have 25% chances of giving birth to SS and AA. Then 50% chances of giving birth to AS so calm the Bleep down!

I have one (my aunts) i'm still researching on and we are progressing in herbal solution.

Go and reconcile with that woman and ensure she is happy with u before she gives birth.

The knife don cut baby for hand! Throwing it away won't reverse or do anything!

U don score and for that, you should be grateful to God.

Some have been pouring in this thing for decades, e no turn to pin not to talk of baby.

Go back to your wife please and make that damn marriage work before i get koboko and wire your big head!

If you are bold enough to poke her to a state of pregnancy, be bold and daring enough to go all heads in!

I saw a kia Rio 2008 car and I want to buy it but I am in a dilemma. This is my first car. I don't want to make a bad choice. Pls guys advice me. is this car durable? can it travel far distance without issue and does it have electrical issues?

Based on some friend's experience, kia is a good brand BUUUUUUUUUUUT the parts are expensive.

If u buy original spare parts, they don't get spoilt easily!

But i will also advise u go with known japanese brands that even a blind mech can fix to avoid stories that touch the heart and tickles the bumbum!

On the test, it is working perfectly and has been serving for years. all what we keep in the freezer compartment always iced. meat, drinks, water, pepper etc and it takes about 3days without light pending how frequently it's opened

Compressor is always HOT when workiing, even a novice knows this, which is normal, thermostat are attached to it to to maintain a certain temperature, if it goes beyond the temperature it cut off. There is no fan attach to it and it's working fine, see the attached pics.

Alright bro!

[color=#1980BC] Do away with the missionary position....Try prone bone position, it will link your dick past her vaginal canal directly to the mouth of her womb...like your dick hole will feathering her cervix wall thereby making doubly sure your ejaculate goes throw the opening into her womb without wasting time in the vaginal canal which if it is too thick might not even let your ejaculate get up to the cervix thus delay conception...[[/color]

Broooooooooooooos! Haba, lie small small na!

Style can aid conception but not the determinant!

U can get pregnant sef without sex! Hope u know?

If u like, pour am into the tube sef, once certain conditions are not met, no conception o!

That's how God made it!

frozen70:
Where did you buy this fridge

Have you used it for 24hrs with steady light and its not working well

Some fridges have inbuilt condenser but I don't know why they did it so

Just take your complain to where you bought it

Of course, you are right but with experience, they don't work.

My neigbour uses LG 200litre deep freezer with the so called "inbuilt condenser cooler" but she's always having issues cos not external cooling fins.

I want to believe the ones without external cooling fins (passive cooling) are not built for Nigeria. U know weather is always hot!

NzeNaOgbunike:
God bless you my brother..

Just coming out from that shop,I have returned the Hisense fridge I bought yesterday.

Went there with my neighbor and we placed order for the type that he is using currently.(Haier Thermocool product)

Once the man delivers that one....I will let you all know.

Thanks once more for the advise and ur time.

Better jare!

U are always welcome sir

suco01:
My LG refrigerator doesn't use any cooling fan at all and it's work perfectly.

Congratulations.

Run this test.

Put 6 packs (72 bottles) or more of soft drink (coke or pepsi).

Then come back and share your testimony again sir!

Electronics equipments are designed to work in a particular way and also "in a particular region", hence, the need not to have cooling fins but i can tell u, it's not made for naija where the heat here can bake bread!

Try and touch your compressor and see how super hot it gets.

Lest i forget, electronic devices performance drop when they heat up! Laptop is a good example.

So any extra way or form to dispose of heat, is a welcome development!

suco01:
It's not about technologist. I am not disputing your claims. I already state one of the reasons it's inbuilt, also being inbuilt doesn'y mean it should make it hot, that's why I said if he feels it's isn't working well he should return it. Everything is not fight matter, you should read and understand

And i wasn't fighting u jare!

U simply didn't get my point either!

Everybody deserves to buy something good that will give peace of mind!

I am simply against all those "without cooling fins at the back" cos i have got plenty of them all around where i stay! Eventually, an external fan is always recommended when they don't operate as expected.

Hope u understand what i wrote up there?

NzeNaOgbunike:
Thank you very much my brother.

Some people suggested Haier Thermocool or Scanfrost.


Hope there are nice products?

Haier Thermocool is a good brand. I use their chest freezer!

U won't go wrong with that but whatever brand u finally settle for, ensure it has the cooling fins at the back to avoid stories that touch!

Then test it! Once its heating up, DO NOT BUY sir!

A good fridge or freezer does not need to heat up while working!

Ignore all these cooling engineers who are shouting upandan and buy what will give u peace of mind!

suco01:
Not all new products come with external condenser, all new refrigerator and freezers has an inbuilt fan attach to the compressor. This diagram will help you to know what's it means by inbuilt condenser. Note inbuilt condenser doesn't mean it is place on the body. 2nd and 3rd frame shows how an inbuilt compressor is in a refrigerator.

Mr fridge technologist, i know all these stuffs.

You think the companies that still went ahead to put cooling fins at the back of fridge and deep freezers don't know what they are doing, abi?

My deep/chest freezer is haier thermocool. Its got the so called fan you are talking about and "also" black coated cooling fins at the back!

And i love it that way cos it gets the job done and fast!

And by the way, the body doesn't get hot!

NzeNaOgbunike:
Greetings,

I just Bought this Refrigerator ( Hisense Product) today but it doesn't have external condenser and it's making the body of the refrigerator to be hot....

Am just not comfortable with it.

Please I need your Candid advise.....Does refrigerators with internal condensers last and How good is Hisense product(s) ?

If possible, pls return it and get one with external condenser fins.

My neighbour bought one LG deep freezer like that and the freezer has cooling issues!

We bought ours and i ensured it had the external condenser! And it works like a charm.

You may decide to keep it but be prepared to buy external fan to blow the compressor cos it will get very hot while working which is what u are experiencing!

Is it only her treating infections? If yes, Bro you've been reinfecting her so both of you should go for a thorough check up.
I've been married since 2018 and we're still waiting to get pregnant. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves please.

Wow!

Not trying to derail this thread but madam, u and oga should try and go for check up o! Na simple thing dey delay pregnancy.

Sperm count can read 200 million and still have bad quality and movement.

When all conditions of conception are met, you will get pregnant. It could be something as simple as even u not having enough blood to accomodate conception.

Ordinary folic acid sometimes could solve the issue!

And sometimes, pregnancy could take place but make oga still dey use his 3rd leg to remove it via deep penetration. So be on the look out o!

Every couple deserve to be happy and i ernestly await your testimonies ma!

It is well bro!

Shoodboi:
I am so pissed off right now.

I wasn’t angry when I broke the card. I just wanted to make sure that:

i. I will not be able to use the card or account anymore.

ii. I will be forced to open a new regular bank account.


The Story (in brief)

I suffered a failed POS transaction yesterday.

I sent Wema ALAT a mail and they are yet to reply as of now (almost 24 hours later).

I called them this morning and listened to a recorded message about how my call may be delayed because of COVID-19. I quickly cut the call. Their customer wasn’t effective before the virus came along, so I wonder what to expect now.

I later visited their bank and the customer care rep told me the transaction will be reversed within 14 days, if they were sure that I was really unable to withdraw the money.

14 days? Why is this so?

The money doesn’t even belong to me and the owner is very angry with me right now. Someone sent it to her and she wanted to use someone else's account to receive it, but I convinced her to use me—and then this happened.

Worse, she needs it for feeding and I don't have any money to give her. (She wasn’t paying me for the service in case you’re wondering.)

I suffered the same thing in the hands of GTB. (Their regular customer service email complaints@gtbank.com isn't even working anymore.)

In fact, I opened a WEMA Alat account because of GTB’s failures. I thought Alat will be better since they marketed themselves as a “Digital Bank”, but it appears that I was wrong. They are “digital” in name only.

This should be the third or fourth time WEMA Alat is doing this sort of nonsense to me. And that is without counting the failed mobile and POS transfers.

I am actually not concerned about GTB’s and Wema’s failures. I just hate their terrible customer service.

Failed transactions are one thing. I actually consider them normal. However, poor customer service and unwillingness to quickly solve failed online transactions aren’t. And this is unfortunately common with most banks and businesses in this country.

Now, I’ve have made the decision to stop going cashless. I will start moving around with cash henceforth. I’m sick and tired of all these failed POS transactions and sluggish customer service reps.

I know I will still do some online transactions but that will be occasionally (online shopping, international payments, etc.)

That said, I want you all to answer these two questions:

1. Which bank is reliable for online transactions?

2. Which bank has the most effective customer care service in this country?

I’m thinking of opening a Union bank account since I can see they have revamped their business, but I don't want to jump into conclusions as I did with Alat.

Could you all help me out?

P.S. Please UBA and Skye (if this one still exists) are out of the equation. I used them in the past and can confidently say they are terrible. They steal money.

I don’t want Access bank too. I’ve never read anything good about them. They and fraud are relatives. I don’t want Diamond bank either since they are the new owners of Access bank.

So, any suggestions?

In matters like this, Wema na baba!

The matter may be like that for 1 year!

Why u may ask?

A neighbour of mine was owing me 25k and she didn't explain to me what happened!

As she begin dey drag fee, na hin i threaten to take the matter to SARS (na just shakara), the money show face!

But till now, wema has not resolved her matter since 4months ago!

As per Gtbank, that's my bank!

One thing gtbank is not good for is going to the bank physically to lodge complaints!

U will just fill form and it may be there for days!

My trick is to apply for dispense error myself via the internet banking platform!

And if i get no response in hours, i email their headquarters!

To me, Gtbank is the best! Wema is worse but between wema and fcmb, i can't tell who is better!

OP use gtbank but apply for internet banking!
