Dude went from Dark and Handsome .....to Light and Confused
Another MJ in the making...sighs

BAD BAAD BAAAAD, Dts Your idea of survival advice ?? pathetic,
is having a game centre illegal in Nigeria ? NO.. No reason to see the police as a threat or let them be a threat for that matter. He's a graduate, he's educated, he should know his rights.
is selling weed illegal ? YES and.... this is what you advice that he adds to his 100% legitimate bussiness ? and call it survival. Crap!
@ OP , Improvement is the game, Expansion is the gain....there's no limit to how much u can grow ...IFFFF, you sail your ship tight.

I'll tell you a little story, Back whn i was in uni, a neighbour of mine who was a barber, was studying or studied in my school (FUTO), i'm not sure wch... he said he was still in school at the time, but i also heard talk about him having issues and dropping out. This guy ws as frugal as u can imagine, he was the definition of "austerity measures", dude ran a salon for as long as i knew him up till the time i graduated(2008). we always discussed about the barbing bussiness, how profitable it was for him and all that. back then i cant even recall how much we used to pay for haircuts .. i think it was about 100 bucks or maybe even less.. being a school environment, in a small village. sometimes on the weekends u had to wait hours to get a cut, but people would take the pains....you know why? he had a reputation in the area for being one of the best at what he did.
He bought a car before i graduated and started a poultry business,
there are Three Things that particularly contributed to the success of his bussiness
-He Learnt and honed his barbing skills and found pleasure in beautification
-He was creative, and was always coming up with one new concept or the other...remodeling his place, keeping his clippers and other equipment in top shape, changing the way they (he hired two other barbers) did stuff etc
-He was Frugal
You can Move from Barbing in Badagry where you charge 300 per cut to Barbing in Lekki...where you can charge thrice as much, if you have a plan. its never easy, but hard work ALWAYS ALWAYS pays off. Long as you're in God's favour.

50calibre:
I admire your entrepreneurial drive, but this not a viable business in any way, sooner or later it will collapse like a pack of cards.

I've spent considerable amount of time in lagos to know this type of business is never going to get you rich. At best you're just going to be surviving, living from hand to mouth.

Lets start with the location of your business: I haven't been to badagry but I know it's a one of the most rural parts of lagos which means it's population is largely made up of low income folks who won't be willing to pay good buck for a haircut unlike the affluent areas. Then there is the issue of rent.

Now electricity: We all know power supply in Nigeria is almost non-existent, so it's safe to assume you'd be running on a generator. Last heard, petrol was N100/litre. How much will it cost you to run that generator for a day & how much turnover are you going to be making (take into account periodic breakdown/servicing)

Then to the game issue: Nothing attracts the police, gamblers & criminals like that game. Your barber/gaming/laundry shop is going to be attracting trouble like honey attract flies. The parody outfit called Nigerian police are literally going to be feeding off you and your potential laundry customers are going to stay away from your establishment as it will be perceived as a haven for crooks.

How do I know this? I used to be a prolific gambler, the type to travel miles in search of a gambling joint regardless where it's located. I remember on one occasion I was in one of those gaming houses, (A friend suggested that we patronise of them, never knew how dangerous that could be) we did patronise them a couple of times but one day while we were all glued to the TV, the police swooped in & rounded all of us up, no where to run, no where to hide. We were ushered in a straight line into an awaiting van ready to drive us to the police station. I was lucky, because I was a minor then, I wasn't thrown into one of their horrid cells, when work got to my people, they came and bailed me out with cash. This was early 2000s, the PS1 era so I don't know if that's still happening.

My advice to you; be aware of the dangers of running a game business and prepare for it.

- Keep some savings for the police or settle the police beforehand so they'd look away.

- Have few thugs handy to help you when matters get out of hand.

- Don't just rely on your barbing business, branch into other forms of business legal or not. You can run a successful weed/cannabis enterprise, you buy in bulk at cheaper rates, then you distribute at your own price. Your business would provide cover for you. Just settle the police & they'd look away, in Nigeria anything goes. When the going gets tough the tough gets going. (I know this because barber shops are one of the easiest places to lay your hands on weed)

- If business is booming, don't place all your eggs in one basket. Save up & open other shops putting your protégés in charge.

The ironic thing is, most of these asswipes talking down on the OP are probably of barely average intelligence. Na una type go cheat for school finish com out com dey form 2.1 holder, ask them to write a simple essay and you'll be flabbergasted. Your class of degree is neither a career death sentence nor a guarantee for success.. rise above all limitations!!!

WTF… LMFAO , THE OP even sounds more intelligent and articulate than this egotistical prick. Give a direct answer or Shut da FCK up. Wetin you Sabi sef? Mtschew

freeboy604:
What kind of graduate are you? If you have attended university at all you where not suppose to come here and be asking, you are expected to have known this right from your first year in the university, or if don't your fellow students knew and should have ask them, though I doubt if you were university student in the first instance.

Somebody with third class Degree would go through Post Graduate Deploma which last for just one year before you can enrol for M.Sc

This kyn thread sef.... blunders and counter-blunders

I'm not saying 17 is not the correct answer, thats pretty evident (n squared + 1) solves that. I'm saying the presentation is ambivalent and misleading
(n squared + 1)

Kylekent59:
bros dat 2+2+1=5
do it like dat dey go and u will get 17 at the end

To start with, the presentation of your "SIMPLE" maths..is of an ambiguous nature.

Dahkogrin007:
I Know 98% Will Still Fail This Simple Mathematics

good point , puzzle was poorly illustrated. alota ppl didnt evn notice.
From the presentation; 01=02=05 wch distorts the pattern

dabrake:
First of all:
01 = 02
Then 02 = 05
Bros, how come?

smh... this shyt jst gets uglier

Dear All in One,

The situation is still the same. We have been advice to keep off from nahco premises for now to avoid unlawful arrest.

For now no activity at all.

Dear All

Work might resume any moment from now. As at yesterday the custom controller insist that work should resume both in courier and sahcol shed while nahco remains under lock but the agent refused out rightly that all the 3 shed must open if agent must go back to work.

From all indices when work resume tougher measure awaits nahco shed as the shed is in the black record of the controller. should work resume for now please use those flight that are naturally sahcol bound. To the controller nahco should be lock up out rightly.

Will keep you posted as event unfolds

The CG (Controller General)will be around tomorrow to have meeting with the stake holders. We are having hope that all will be sorted out as soon as possible. From all indices if we are not commencing work this week by next week monday work should commence.

Brgds

bleep

Brazen show of autocracy and abuse of authority everywhere....after diplomatic load, every oda load na nonentity load na abi...smh.
The reason these shyt heads can do all this shyt and get away with it is because we are not ready to hold public office holders accountable to the public...
if we turn up the heat with peaceful protests, petitions and draw sufficient media attention to this idiotic ransom-holding , that'll put pressure on the dickheads to make necessary adjustments and considerations.

The situation in Niger is becoming really frustrating

srry ? ....i dont seem to understand,

Kennyinusa:
I would pay 65k for the laptop. None upfront.
