Do you know how to cook very well? I so much believe in food biz cos pple must chop na. You can cook rice and stew and maybe other things and sell to pple.
You can also make peanuts, chin chin, roast groundnuts, buns, egg roll, fish roll, plantain chips, peppered meat/chicken and be a supplier to offices/schools,Unilag,LASU or shops around you. Remember, ur packaging matters.
You could sell chilled drinks like zobo, carbonated drinks, alcoholic drinks too. This type of biz requires no spot or shop. You could just have a notice close to ur house eg. "chilled drinks sold here". This will be achievable if only you have a fridge or deep freezer in ur house.

@Brunel ~Pls,can you help with ideas?

In addition to the above MrSurd , you can also help proofread project work of tertiary students, you can help with assignments and projects,....
Distributing a fast moving product will also help

Wow. Really?
I visited Yobe some rugged 7yrs ago...nguru to be precise.

Nysc?

As expected. According to Deepwater and from the little I know, even 2020 Dangote refinery completion date will be missed.

This article recounts my journey to becoming a registered member of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN). I am sharing my experience for the benefit of individuals who need information on what it takes to become registered members of NSE and COREN. I will share my experience under the following sub headings.

1. Registration
2. Assessments
-Seminar
-Project Reports
-Part 1 Exams
-Part 2 Exams
3. COREN registration
4. Financial Implication

Registration
The Registration is done online on the NSE website https://www.nse.org.ng. The NSE registration is a two-step process. The first stage requires providing personal details and making payment while the second stage requires uploading credentials and duly completed proposer forms. Proposers are financially up to date members of NSE that recommended that I was fit for NSE registration (Note that two proposers are required). At the point of registration, I was required to choose a NSE Branch with which I will undergo the required assessments.

Assessment
The NSE assessment process was affiliated with a branch. Several branches of NSE are spread across the country.

Seminar
It is mandatory to attend two seminars. The Seminar is a series of lectures on selected engineering topics like Engineering materials, ethics, costing, design etc.
The first seminar is organized by the branch, while the second is organised by the national body. I gained a lot of knowledge especially on engineering ethics. Information on the upcoming exams and projects were also shared at the seminars.

Project Reports
I submitted two Project reports. First is an experience report, which is like an expanded CV containing details of my education and experience in the practice of engineering. The 2nd report is a technical report that contains details of two engineering projects I was involved in (the reports are available for download on Q and A App – Download Q and A App from Google Playstore), including cost implications and relevant diagrams. The Bill of Engineering Measurement and Evaluation (BEME) of each projects was a fundamental requirement. The reports were duly signed by a supervisor. The supervisor must be a registered NSE member preferably a superior at work.

Part 1 Exams
The first set of exams is organised by the National body. It is divided into 4 sections. The first section contains multiple choice questions that tests general knowledge of Engineering. The second section contains questions that are tailored to my field of engineering (Electrical Engineering). The third section tests computer proficiency. While the fourth section consists of a national essay, a peculiar issue of national concern is put up for discussion. Note that you can download a compilation of NSE Past Questions and Answers on Q and A App.

Part 2 Exams
The second set of exams was organized by the local branch a week after the first. It was divided into two sections. For the first section: A pool of data was given and we were asked to prepare a Bill of Engineering Measurement and Evaluation using excel. We were also asked to carry out some arithmetic operations on the data using excel and to prepare a bar chat. Please note that the nature of questions asked in this section varies from branch to branch. Some branches ask candidates to perform operations using AutoCAD. However, a guide on what to expect is usually given at the seminars.

The second section is an oral interview based on the earlier submitted technical reports and my work experience.

COREN Registration
It takes about 3 months for NSE results and certificates to be out after which application for COREN can now commence. COREN application is an online process http://www.coren.gov.ng
Like NSE, two proposers are also required. They must be financially up to date COREN registered engineers that can vouch for the candidates’ proficiency, preferably a colleague at work. A technical report is also required for COREN. The reports consist of a 3 page summary of a technical project carried out. I actually used one of my NSE reports.

Financial Implication
NSE/COREN registration is very financially demanding. However, the financial commitment is not made at once. Payments are spread over a span of the process, and some processes can be differed until the finance is available. I spent over 300,000 Naira on my NSE/COREN journey and the journey spanned a period of one year. Note that the financial implication varies from branch to branch.

Conclusion
The journey towards becoming a registered engineer was quite demanding. These demands cannot be compared to the fulfilment that comes with becoming a registered Engineer.

Trump's arch nemesis, his achilles heel. A man that fought for his country, got captured and tortured vs a spoilt clown who cooked up an excuse to avoid being drafted into the military. Yet this clown who has never served in the military constantly asks for a military parade to make him feel like an emperor. If trump is not impeached before November 2019, call me a coward.

Hello experts in the house,

Please I can hardly use my phone for a minute without pop up ads covering my screen. It's becoming annoying. As in even without opening a website, ads would just pop up my home screen.

What could be the problem. I leave my data on all the time. Could this be the reason?

Sometimes, to close these ads could be difficult. I would have to restart my phone.

Is this virus?

Please I would appreciate any answer that points me to a solution fast. Google must be crazy to flood me with unsolicited ads!

The sound quality tho. Nothing beats a good sound

Hey Folks,

Hope we’re all doing well.The New Year is here and I would love to show you a simple way to make a passive income through the Pukena Referral Program. I’ll try to keep this brief and concise. So without further ado, let’s get to it.

What Is PRP?
PRP (Pukena Referral Program) is the official referral program of Pukena Concierge Services designed to encourage our clients to earn with us and benefit from their business relationship with us.

How Does It Work?
PRP rewards clients with ‘Pukena Credit’ every time a client refers someone new to the service. In simple english, when a new client signs up with your referral code, you gain 5% of whatever that client paid as total service charge.

Example: If you tell a friend about Pukena, and that friend orders for a website worth N80,000 with your referral code, you gain N4000 in Pukena Credit.

If 10 people sign up with your referral code and orders for different services on the Pukena Platform, you gain 5% on each successful transaction in Pukena Credit.This simply means, you can easily make over N100,000 in a month by strategically introducing your friends to our premuim services.

What Is Pukena Credit?
Think of Pukena Credit as the money you have in your bank account (Pukena Account). Whereas you can’t withdraw the hard cash if it is below N20,000 in value, you can use the money on whatever you want, as long as it’s requested via the Pukena Platform. So you can request for any service and use your Pukena Credit to pay for it. You can withdraw your credit in cash if its up to N20,000

You can use your Pukena Credit for food, groceries, transportation, laundry, dry-cleaning, house cleaning, suya, and the list of other services Pukena provides.

Who is Eligible for the PRP?
Only users subscribed to the dedicated whatsapp group "Pukena Referral Program" are eligible for the PRP. Upon joining the group, you are automatically eligible for PRP.

How Do I Get My Referral Code?
-Add Pukena on whatsapp 08168411237
-Ask to be added to the official referral group.
-You unique referral code would be privately assigned to you.

It's as simple as that.

There you have it. Now let's make some money together.

Womanpleaser:
Male folks, you are all invited to participate in this conversation.

In all ramifications, this negative trend is quite disheartening, alarming.

After God, your family ought to be a priority.

Let me quickly share a true life story:

Jackson took his fiancee to the village for the purpose of introducing the woman he intends to marry to his parent.

She politely rejected the drinking water his parent served her bcoz it was dirty (instead went to the car to get a bottled water).

Later during the day, due to the unhygienic condition of the toilet, she politely refused to use the toilet, instead held urine in her bladder.

His parents said the lady was rude & not a marriage material.

Diz is a lady who is neat, ambitious, humble, intelligent, & responsible.

She was disappointed in her fiance bcoz he is very rich but failed to transform the lives of his poor parents.

She cut off the affair on the basis of his irresponsibility & wickedness.

Many men fall under this category.

You buy Iphone 8 for girlfriend but can't give your parents N50,000.

MEN, WHY

According to Robert Mugabe, it is caused by witchcraft.
He says when you think of the kind of girls you spent money on instead of your family, you know witchcraft is real

Last time I checked, even up to security personnel to man your office space gate at federal Ocean Terminal Onne, INTELS must be the one to provide that service for you and you pay duly for it, Intels killed lotes of companies in Nigeria. Even up to generator and diesel Intels must Bethe one to provide it so long you are with their premises.

Confused977:
Good afternoon everyone here. I have been an ardent of this forum so, I felt it wouldn't be bad to bare my heart here as I know I'd surely get an advice that will make me see clearer. Please bear with me as I am not very perfect when it comes to expressing my self in writing. Pls pardon my write-up should you see it as too long. I just want to bare it all so one can know what to tell me. Thanks.
My Name is Amanda. I lost my parents when I was sixteen . I am from a family of five. I was about to sit for WAEC before the sudden demise of my parents. I had to drop out of school cus I couldn't pay bills and my older siblings were still struggling, so I got a job. I worked as a cleaner say for 2 years and I was able to save up something and enrolled for WAEC AND GCE and I passed. I tried my first admission it didn't so the second year someone told me to try a Polytechnic and fortunately I got admitted. I joined school but I kept working and I saved up some bucks and at the end of my ND at federal poly Auchi my G. P was 3.40 yes! I cried for joy.
I. T (Industrial Training) started and I felt it would make more sense If I could start something little within my environment. Since I knew a lot about female bags and wears I held on to the idea and started. My customer base grew as I went from department to department showing and convincing the "big girls" in school about my goods. I approached just anybody so long you female. I kept moving at that pace until I was heavily sought after. My room became my boutique.
Why I am confused now
All glory to God I have been able to establish a good relationship with people who sale to me on credit which allows me own varieties and sell more.
1. Not to exaggerate, I make a minimum of 40 to 45k a month as my own.
2. I ain't rich but I think I am comfortable for a young lady of my age. I will be 24 3rd October.
I focused more on my business and I didn't join my mates for the HND session. My reason was; after school now, I go carry certificate they Waka up and down. Make I kuku use this small money wey I don save use am run my business first as I thought school can wait. could I be wrong?

# I have a course mate who traveled overseas after our ND and she has been encouraging me to come over since I could afford the travel expenses (not to lie, I was considering this also which made me forget going back for my HND.)
Now my question is if you were me would you go back to school? I am of the opinion that schooling in Nigeria without a good back up could leave me frustrated after graduation. No job.
# if you were me would you just continue with your business and open up a shop or would you travel out, get a job and go to school there?
Pls advice Me as I would be turning 24 in no time and I am JUST CONFUSED I have the feeling that any decision I make at this point would either make or destroy me permanently. Pls help a sister
Should I go back to school? cus my dad always wanted me to get an education but I feel I should be able to know what works as times have changed.
Pls I am open to any form of advice. God bless.

Hello.
My Advice: continue working on your business, try to scale it up and expand. Pursue a degree or educational qualification that is directly related to your business and keep getting better at what you do.
Abroad isn't always all that, with determination you can do better in Nigeria.
Cheers
