1800bc: You should be thanking your car for reducing the speed... would you rather prefer u skid to a tree

Not reducing the speed per se, The car just refuses to accelerate (fire) and somethime the engine revs go so low it trips off. So I have to park, steaming the engine for up to 20 minutes before I can move again

Martini101: If u re passing through a pool of water, especially during rainfall,
-off the air conditioner
-slowly pass the pool of water so that water won't enter inside the car ignition system such as the distributor or coil etc

All check, but nowadays, in especially deeper pools I used to pass through without issues before, I get the above issues, in short it happened again n embarassed me last nyt after making my post

umunnatim: I drive an EOD 2003 model,each time i pass through a deep pool of water the fire of the car drops to the lowest,do you think my Gearbox is bad?please i need help.

I've been having the same issue with my 2007 Peugeot 307 since it stopped inside a flood few weeks back,
Now when I pass through water, the car simply refuses to accelerate till I leave it to steam for a while.. Anyone with a solution?

Neoviper147: Dear world,
Dear Joblessness

You win, I can't take it any longer, and I know you have been waiting for this to happen. I hope it makes you very happy, this is not an easy thing to do, but I've got to the point where there is nothing to live for, graduated for 3 years and still no job, no love. All will and determination to fight on has left me. I feel calm and at peace and grateful that I can go to sleep painlessly. I feel justified in terminating a life which no longer holds any hope of having the essentials which make it worth living. I did desperately want to get a good job, have a beautiful wife, bring forth wonderful kids and love mankind. But now, I am defeated and exhausted emotionally by the situation of my Country, Nigeria.

To my Unborn child: My love for you would have had no limits, I grief that I could not meet you but try to understand that your birth would have made my life worse, life is too corrupt, seeing vision of a broken man. So, with my passing, all menace to your well-being has disappeared. Forgive me for the many mistakes I have made. Now that it is all said I feel at peace.

To my friends: Try not to grieve. I ask all of you, my dear ones, not to mourn my passing. Be glad I am at least free from the misery of the joblessness and intimidation and oppression. I have endured for so long and that at last I'll have peace and rest...This is no way to live either is it any way to die. I'm going to put myself to sleep now for a bit longer than usual. Call the time eternity.

Goodbye, cruel world

Goodbye, God forsaken Nigeria

Goodbye, cruel destiny

You won.

I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen.

I was thinking normal suicide-commiters would do the deed and leave the note for someone else to find? When you're ready to die, you'd do it without alerting all nigerians, till then, get your butt off wherever you're Nairalanding from and make yourself useful to the society, its only a lazy person that would "look for work" for 3 years, after the first few months you should have started learning skills that would create work for others rather than look for who to blame for your failure

y2kaustin: ..,how do you mean?

You specified Lagos in a previous post,
I mean if I have clients who are located in the south south area who are interested in your service and I want to get the equipment through you down here, Is that possible?

Is Port-Harcourt/ South-South covered?

Old News, I had Air-Conditioned classes and labs at my department in UNIPORT (Petroleum Engineering) years back.

ebamma: me thinks this guys have sacrificed their mama for fame and fortune

You need to get used to some things bro.

puskin: In this day and age when it seems like almost every week there is another “latest and greatest” technology gadget put out on the market, it can be enticing to jump in and pick one up for yourself.
I have serious doubts that everyone who owns a smart fone is really getting their money’s worth.

Below are some of the reasons why you simply shouldn’t purchase a smartphone:-

1) They’re Expensive with Ongoing Costs
Any way you look at it, these mobile devices are expensive.

2) Do You Really Need That Much Technology in Your Life?
I have a PC at home that I can access at any time, and I own a laptop that I can take with me if I need to. I have up-to-the-minute sports scores on my DSTV, as well as up-to-the minute news reports. To be honest with you, I have all the technology that I currently need in my life. I simply do not need the Internet in my pocket 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Do you?

3) Not as Convenient as You May Think
In my opinion, smartphones really aren’t as convenient as you might imagine. No matter what connectivity speed you have, pages load relatively slowly on smartphones, and navigating them is more a nuisance than anything else.

4) You Could Have a Misperceived Need
Majority of people who have smartphones think they are a necessity, when in fact they are not.
Twenty years ago, most of us didn’t even have cell phones, and eight years ago, I doubt any of us had smartphones. It then stands to reason that if you made it that far in life without a smartphone, there’s a good chance that it is not a true necessity in your current life.

5) They are replacing human-to-human interaction
You can hardly see individuals (youths especially) looking themselves in the eye and having a mutual decent conversation.

Sounds like that thread about what broke people say... Just saying

17k in 2012? That's totally unfair if u ask me. I pay minimum of 20k and that's to unskilled staff not someone with your qualifications,
For those saying 17,000 (600 naira a day) would add up to your capital, have they taught of how much more you can improve your business with the time you would free up?
Go in full time, Make your money, and invest/diversify, that salary is pure slavery In my opinion

Where are the loosers that always say every rich person is a Politician or close to a Politician?

Onunu (Pounded Ripe plantain mixed with yam) and Native fish stew!! I loooooove it

spicy v: Is your business still at the teething stage or you have people reporting to you? If not I believe you would want to grow to the point θf having employees. Then pay attention to whats been shared on this thread so you will not be under the category θf the bosses mentioned on this thread.

I've a couple of people on my payroll with 3 reporting directly to me & I'm yet to see myself in these posts, maybe I'm doing something wrong?

What does the website do?

Watching with Pop-Corn n Coke, 3D Glasses on

can't count, started with an alcatel around the time gsm was launched before switching to an ericsson t20s, then white nokia 3330, then siemens all within the first year, I'm sort of a phone freak and I get tired of phones quickly so I run through them really fast.

yomifowe: The particular business I just talked about is Bulk SMS Wholesaling, I own some of the biggest bulk sms websites in Nigeria. And the first started with just a domain name at N2000 years ago.

Others where more capital intensive to start though a lot more lucrative but all the money for them came from this first one.

BigX

Would you be kind to give some hint on how to start such Bulk sms wholesaling biz u spoke about. whots ur contact and how do i get in touch wt u?

Let's stick to the topic, send a pm I would reply you.
Cheers.

Diamond112: Hi,this is my first time on nl.just find this topic so interestin and tempting.am a graduate and i know about sewing of quilts and little of curtains,my problem with business isdeptors and am d shy type that wil wait till u com to pay my mony. I really lov to go into busnss but am scared.some of my friends will tell me dat its better i get a job where i wil be receivin salary than doin busnss.pls guys i need ur advis.

Are the friends advising you successful? Are they people you aspire to be like? You have a very extremely marketable skill, look for a "gingered" person to partner with to do marketing while you focus on manufacturing, then a strict no credit policy should take care of your fears.

jefumare: I have been reading some articles and books online and i'm yet to be convinced that entrepreneurship is the sure way out. Not everyone is going to be a CEO, so i think if we all play to our strengths, then, we'll ultimately succeed. I stumbed on [http://www.ventures-africa.com/category/entrepreneurs/diary-of-an-under-30-ceo/]Diary of an Under 30 CEO[http://www.ventures-africa.com/category/entrepreneurs/diary-of-an-under-30-ceo/][url][/url] and its quite a good read as well.

Its not the sure way out, there are a lot of factors that come to play before anyone can succeed in business and no, not everyone is going to be a CEO, CEO's need people to employ

bukkytroni: Can someone please enlighten me on why Banking is like 'lost in the wilderness' kind of experience. Candidly, I have applied to banks and none have ever considered to even get back to me. Not funny though, especially in those years of desperacy to get just anything. I see most people quit banking to DO THEIR OWN THING which they eventually succeed in. What is the monster in the bank that we not-so-fortunates and most desperados cant see yet will do anything to get inside?

Bankers or ex-bankers would be in the best position to explain.
Sometime last year, my Account Officer in GTB here who helped in opening my first corporate account when I was just an undergraduate actually called to ask what business I'm into as he was tired of the job & was planning to resign.
He's still there though, I guess they believe the reward for the effort expended isn't enough.
