Nigerians and Nairalanders need to start understanding that while one can do anything they so wish to do, getting a degree is only a backup in case their chosen passion doesn't work out as planned. Get your degree young man.

Absolute foolishness

If PDP zones its Presidential ticket to the South-East, then we are up for a mega election come 2023. This will be the closest and most keenly contested election in recent memory. While I still insist that Tinubu will emerge as the winner of the 2023 elections, I have no doubt that a South-Eastern Presidential candidate and their supporters will put up a good campaign.

However, it is worthy to note that any Presidential ambition of a south-eastern will be highly suspicious (i.e. succession agenda) by other regions because of the Nnamdi Kanu debacle. Man has done more harm than good to his people.

Like it or not, except if God rejects, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is the next President come 2023. Man has played his cards very well. I'm still a core PDP supporter though.

In this order, the following regions play good politics in Nigeria.

1. North West
2. North East
3. South West
4. North Central
5. South-South
6. South-East

Tinubu is the next President of Nigeria. He's running mate may likely be Ganduje.

I like the temperament aspect, extremely important. I love my ladies patient and soft-spoken.

He was scammed using Deepfake - Deepfakes are synthetic media in which a person in an existing image or video is replaced with someone else's likeness - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepfake.

I can see Kemi Nelson

NaijaRoyalty:
Tinubu should be ashamed of himself for dragging office of the president with little kids

Tinubu no send anybody at this point o. Lol

Who's funding this terrorist? I honestly thought Buhari will defeat them if that was his only achievement in office but the man has been unable to do anything, instead, they keep growing and are emboldening

Kudos to her, she's a real actor (actress). Perfectly mimicked!

In this life, every religion and culture has both good and bad sides. In terms of honesty, I give it to my Muslim brothers. I'm not saying there aren't bad ones amongst them, but they are miles better in terms of honesty when compared to other tribes and particularly Igbo people (I'm Igbo).

PDP are too desperate for power shift and should thread carefully. Nigeria is a multicultural and secular country, hence, there are natural laws (not written) that ought to be followed, hence, the repercussion in the future. While I don't support a Tinubu Presidency, it is expected that power should ideally and morally go back south, this is a gentle but unwritten agreement between both sides of the country.

Personally, I would support a Fashola Presidency if Buhari decides to repay the southwest for their support in 2015. While I have naturally grown fond of PDP and become their supporter, I don't support an Atiku Presidency mainly because he's from the north and ideally, power must return to the south for this country to be balanced in governance. Hence, there might come a time when it will be only north ruling this country and nobody will be able to challenge this.

IPOB brothers una well done o.

BeeBeeOoh:
I see you engaging in more quickies more than before in 2022

This, I've seen.

Falseprophet, hope I tried

It's the False prophet for me

It's good she contributes to the family but don't make it her duty.

This is serious and should not be taken for granted. OP is suffering from Necrophilia and urgently needs to see a psychologist asap

I honestly don't like this idea of always hiring foreign nationals to coach our football team.

Baba has spoken. Obasanjo is a nationalist and believes so much in one Nigeria. Unfortunately, the crop of leaders we have today are bitter angry people who would rather see Nigeria burn than grow it. Personally, I believe in one Nigeria as well and I despise any secession whether in the East, West or North.

h

North is under siege. These bandits or whatever they are called are just Boko Haram elements that were freed and "rehabilitated".

** Fifth Experience**

By now I was legit scared of business that I had to abandon it and seek for admission into the university. If at that I didn't stop trying

I was home for a break in school so I looked for something to do to earn money for the main time. A friend of my mom was selling bar soaps then and according to my mom she was swimming in money though she didn't look it o. I met her and she told me how she was making millions by taking the soaps to other States to sell, she advised I went to pH since they had high purchasing power.
I used to hustle street trading in pH so I was familiar with the environs which was an advantage or so I thought. I did my calculations and was in high spirits as I was going to hammer this time.
I borrowed 100k from my dad, bought about cartoons of bar soap and set off to pH on a faithful Wednesday because I targeted oil mill Thursday market . I first dropped at obigbo junction and set my cartons of soap by a corner that the owner was absent and started screaming on top of my voice soliciting for customers...buy your original soap here, only 100 100 naira, e don dey finish oooo, eleme dey look bayelsa dey buy oo, after today no more ooo....I kept shouting....
I got some occasional glances by passerby's as they proceeded to their destinations, one hour turned to two hours yet no one has asked me whether na sample I sample abi na sell I dey sell. I got exhausted from my fruitless shouting and sat down, I realized it was getting dark so I called the number of the person I would pass the night in her place at mile 1....ghen ghen number no dey no reachable .... I shaa packaged my cartoons of soap and set off to mile 1, after all I came for oil mill so I'm sure I would sell all the next day.
Getting to mile 1 around past 8, every where was dark and deserted. I was scared so I had to proceed to mile 3 that was livelier. I packed my goods in one park and started looking for a place to pass the night, I went to a police station but they were questioning me like a criminal even after narrating my ordeal to them. I left and went the a church and the security turned me back that they only allow people to sleep in the church during vigils. I ended up sleeping in an uncompleted building in the state university.
The following morning I set off to oil mill market, I remember when I dropped a barrow pusher came to carry the goods to a place I would keep them but since I was running low on cash I asked him to help me place it on my head....haa oga this thing heavy o e go break your neck o, just give me 3h make I carry am for you.....he exclaimed, don't worry I'm fine I replied.
Five minutes later I was sweating like a Christmas goat with my neck now at 180 degrees, it was remaining just two poles to my destination when I gave up and dropped the bag. I called another barrow pusher and he quoted 250 naira.....chai see penny wise pound foolish, I barely had any strength left to haggle price so I agreed.
I found a corner outside the market and set my cartons of soap, I took one carton and went inside the market screaming on top of my voice as usual, three hours later and I had just sold only 5 bars of soap to make matters worst it started raining and my cartons of soap was in the open.
I ran like a mentally deranged man to where I kept my wares trying to save it from the rain, while I tried to carry the cartons to a shed some gave way throwing some of the soaps on the road with tricycles running over them. A barrow pusher came to my rescue and helped me save the rest.
After the rain subsided I went back into the market and started selling the soap at a 50% loss yet I was unable to finish one carton, while I was struggling to sell my kaya those agberos came with their wahalla and collected #300 from me, I went to a different section of the market to try my luck and 4 different agberos surrounded me with different tickets each not less than #200 . Oga abeg I never sell anything I tried to explain to them, come on give me my money joor one of them roared.
By now I was close to tears as they made away with my goods, heiya its unfair o, you people should pity this poor boy naa, see he's even crying, some market women pleaded on my behalf. They finally collected #500 from me.
I managed to sell two cartons just enough to get my transport back home and set off to the park. I was looking very dirty and unkept, at the park I bumped into a girl I was wooing when I was in ph, she kept staring at me probably trying to deduce if I was actually the person she was seeing. I kept a straight face and went to sit at the back of the bus away from other passengers glare.
At home I took the remaining goods to the woman I bought it from and sold it to her at over 60% loss and gave my dad the balance, though he complained but I carest not.

Even though I'm beginning to feel that business is not for me. I still want to try more.
I'm still broke and I've got more ideas though no capital but something keeps telling me I will get a breakthrough I business one day. I will still come back to testify here.

Nice write up. Have you considered going into writing professionally? Like content work and academic? It is actually very lucrative. From your write up, one can easily tell you're intelligent but not in the right business field.

IPOB and all other separatist movements in the SOUTH-EAST are all criminals and they must be crushed completely. Igbos are very unfortunate, at a time when other regions and states are developing rapidly, the Eastern states are on a downward spiral.

one of the reasons why regional government isn't the best for countries with a weak federal military/forces.

See the likes on the OP's post, why do Nairalanders like these kind of stories? Just asking though.

Nigeria's population is growing rapidly, and the government isn't doing quite enough to solve these challenges. However, Tech companies have shown they have what it takes to solve this unemployment gap. For instance, the POS points have greatly helped in employing a lot of Nigerian youths in various regions. The government (executive and legislature) ought to make laws that are favourable for businesses to operate in Nigeria. Also, it is pertinent that Nigeria must see itself as an emerging economy and not a developed nation. With this, not all policies must be accepted, especially those which are not favourable to the masses.

Except you're benefitting directly from a particular party campaigning, whichever party is declared victorious, ensure you realign with the party (government) of the day and move on. A lot can happen and opportunities can be missed if you keep whining over spilled milk.

RIP to him.

The police should also arrest the FCT Minister, this man has failed to live up to the most basic of responsibilities as Minister. The street light in the Abuja metropolis is absolutely not working. Drive around at night and see how dark and dangerous it is lurking with thieves and hoodlums. However, some pedestrians are also to be blamed for crossing the expressway rather than using the pedestrian bridge.

As for Itoro Clement, you panicked and that resulted in you running away, however, you should have rushed him to the hospital, then later report yourself to the police station. However, you did none of the aforementioned until the news became public, then subsequently reporting yourself to the police. You have tried and I pray and hope you receive a light sentence.

All the best with your hustle.
