Erukulele:
Over the years we have successfully planted, nursed, harvested, milled and sold our rice with profits without insurance and or any form of hiccups this year is not going to be an exception. Igbemo-Ekiti is a rice town, Igbemo rice is a known brand. Ekiti has minimal herdsmen casualty, success in rice production has always been attained.

calm down bro, nobody is ready to loose money.

kudosamass:
Please Nairalanders I need a sound advise on how to securely and profitably invest my N100 million in Nigeria. Anyone knowledgeable in investment matters should please give me an opinion.
Mods, please push it to where it can be seen.

run from all this people promising you 40% gain in one year, it is hardly feasible in this administration. you can look for students lodges around and buy, or cheap public houses with a good % of the money and renovate and rent out, while the rest can start up something small, you won't make gains in millions immediately but be rest assured you won't loose your capital.

Let your Samsung screen break. That's when you will know it's costs more to repair the screen than to buy a second-hand.

no be lie, my aunty s4 screen got broken, fixed it with about 25k last yr while boys on hood where selling the same s4 second hand for 20k.

QuickStandard:
Similar thing happened to me two weeks back.

So, two weeks ago been wednesday 25/07/2018 i came back early and went straight to my wife's shop, I dropped my Phone on top her table, carried my baby and decided to get noodles to eat from a lady who prepare noodles just across her shop.

When i came back I was like swht where's my phone, she looked at me and said she didn't see my phone that she only saw the ear phones and brought them inside.
I told her that the earphones were with the phones when I left.

That was when she remembered that a guy came to the shop immediately I left and wanted to buy almost everything, he requested for soap, tea, drinks, milk and some other things, and after she arranged everything the guy said he want to take cash from someone overthere to pay, and she (my wife) happy that she's gonna sell lot of stuffs was unsuspecting of anything.

It was after the guy left, she waited and the guy never returned before i came back.

That was when it dawned on us that the guy must have taken the phone while she was busy arranging his requests.


We dialed the number and it was already switched off.

I tried calling MTN to block my line, but the answering machine kept talking, i couldn't talk to any costumer care Rep.

Later in the night at about 7.25pm precisely we tried the number and it was ringing but the thief kept busying the calls.
that was when I realized something must be fishy because;

1. My Phone is pass worded, meaning my phone can't be accessed unless he's gonna flash the phone that night, and even if he does meaning all the info in my phone would be gone, so I wasn't loosing sleep

2. I have two sim in the phone, the second sim was still switched off.

my thoughts, why will my mtn sim be on and the second line off?

so we started dialing the number, the criminal kept on cutting the calls.

I was worried, does it mean these guys want to commit fraud with my line? why will someone still a phone and instead of throwing away the sim card< he still kept the sim.

I decided to go online to see the easiest way to talk to mtn costumer care service.
until i saw this;

"How To Easily Reach Any MTN Customer Care Rep? Dial 180. Press 9 to go the main menu. Press 6 for support. Press 0 to speak with a Customer Care Rep.".

I followed the procedures and finally i spoke with them to blocked the line.

after asking me a couple of questions and answering them successfully, they promised to block the line.

we kept on calling my line afterwards and it kept on ringing, till someone with well spoken English picked and sincerely i rained curses on him, the guy cut and i called him back he picked, He now told me to calm down that he's a police officer, and that the person that stole my phone was already arrested, that i should come to the station 8.am the next morning.

I told him to give me his number that i have already called mtn to block the line, He declined giving me his number saying there's no need, that his name is Osas, once i get to the station I should ask of him.

After I dropped to my surprise he called me back and said I should call mtn not to block the line, I said ok, but I decided not to call MTN back.

first thing in the morning the following day, I went to the station to complain but I was told there's no officer with the name osas in that station, that I have been deceived.

So i went to MTN office to retrieve my line.

But decided to check my account balance, lo and behold, the some of 15k had already been deducted from my account.

How did they manage to do that i don't know, but thank God for the timely intervention of MTN agent that night.

But all I know is that the line is the line linked with my BVN number and that's what i use to receive alert.

immediately my sim cad was active yesterday all the alert were just pouring in, and to my surprise they were removing, 1000, 2000, 1000......
but thank God that they didn't remove everything once, towards the end before the line was blocked, they even checked my balance to know how much was remaining.

Only God know what would have happen to my account if the line wasn't swiftly blocked.

Am sharing this so that others can also learn. These fraudster are real and ready to wreck havoc.

My advice to everyone that encounters this, is that he/she should call mtn customer care service to immediately block the said line.

actually they recharged with your line, if they where able to transfer it would not have been 1k, 2k etc,

NairalandFAYOSE:
being with the mum means being with me. I don't think I want that.
have read so many comments here where people are calling me names and saying am selfish without even considering if I have the means to take care of her plus my kids. but no one is blaming the useless father who abandoned her daughter because he is married.
I know for sure my woman won't take it if its the other way round.

I only seek advice and if you want to blame me, I will say you should first put yourself in my shoes

sir blame the father of that child all you want but it still does not change the good man you are, accept the child and move on. today am a product of grass to grace and the same people who threw me out wants to associate.

Curiouscity:
While I abhor domestic violence in any form, I have a question or 2 about the said loan. Where did the woman borrow the money for the husband (abi horseband)? Bank, friend, relative or herself? Was the husband carried along during the loan procurement?

Some spouses are in the habit of telling their partners that the money is a loan from somewhere, whereas, it is their money. If the partner discover this, then that money is gone. Men and women alike.

Be it as it may, it shouldn't lead to physical abuse.

even at that , a loan is a loan whether the money belongs to your spouse or their relatives, let the man pay back the loan given to him period.

if I remember this movie very well, it was chioma chukwuka that was in mortuary and Bob Manuel the mortuary attendant, aunty is that the remix of the film ?

AgricSalt:
Please explain this artwork for me, I'm still trying to understand why it is paining the other banks, but I have not gotten any clue

the guy shooting access bank arrows show they are going backwards instead of forward, he is standing on fcmb logo, the gt bank image shows their customer in cage, innoson comes to mind, elephant, stand for union bank while horse first bank, that is the shade.

kurupt1:
People seem not to know Father mbaka that much.Well, you can ask former governor chimaroke how his career ended.The thing is that Mbaka is not looking for favour from anyone and he is a mouthpiece of God.Any prophesy he utters never has any political motive behind it. But what do people even know

Lil, how did it ended with chimarooke if I may ask? we both know the story, mbaka only soiled his name. mbaka should leave politics and stop claiming voice of God.

Akinwale14:
Are U Kidding Me? Go And Check P-square Net Worth And Tell Me If They Can't Buy Common Jet,As For Davido Na Too Much Hard Drugs And Ogogoro Dey Worry The Guy.

forget net worth , it about maintenance, ceiline Dion is worth more than the two but she couldn't cope with the maintenance.

meobizy:
There is no way the person in those pictures is 11 years old. If the early puberty statement is correct then one will discern easily from her dressing she's not even pre-teen.

I know how overgrown babies look. The woman in those pictures is not one.

your head dey there, even if she start puberty at the age of one, that lady cannot be 11

mistacoco:
must Nigerians comment with insult? We only discuss on it, I didn't give her the money.

Btw she nver said she wont contribute, she said she will only contribute when am down financially.

save yourself the stress, dump her, i have seen a first hand experience, don't work that lane with anyone with such mentality, any money coming to each spouse belongs to the family, nothing like when you are financially down or up , once that time comes there will also be problems, put this at the back of your mind.

Chommieblaq:
There's nothing wrong with how was your night.
One of the interpretation can also mean "hope you had a sound sleep".

If something is wrong with asking how was your night, then something is also wrong with these; "how was your day", "how's school" and many others

learn pls and stop this act of justification of what you don't know,
how was your night is only OK when used in hospitals by doctors or other staff to patients about how their night went as most deaths occurs in the night and patients usually have rough nights ,other than this, the phrase has an underlying connotation of sex buried within it. to the native English speakers, that question is offensive.

Mitsurugi:
The funny thing is they don't know that. I found it ludicrous when I called Bassey and Uriel for a role last year. While Bassey was busy attending conferences and stood me up on the first day of shoot (I eventually took the role while directing what was my first movie CLAUSE & CONSEQUENCE) Uriel was busy soliciting for welcome party from the Imo State Government. I featured Somadina in a cameo. By my next movie Thin Tall Tony I found out was the most focused, hardworking and humble next to Bisola. The rest were just jollofers in my observed opinion.

just a matter of time, who remembers them now , even efe is out of the lime light

funny but true

still searching for oriente after discovering simi is not her.

Earthbound:
One day a throwback photo of me looking ordinary will be posted like this when I'm wealthy and a household name.

Just watch.

amen bro

OgaInnocent:
Point of correction. Doctors can disrespect other health professionals because they are not their rivals. But if there is disrespect by nigerian doctors to JOHESU, it is simply reactionary due to their (JOHESU) continued challenge of the doctors. Imagine a graduate of medical laboratory science hanging stethoscope on his neck and saying he is a diagnostic doctor. Can u imagine that? Does that happen in your civilized setting?

In Nigeria, every one working in the hospital is answering a doctor. Doctors can't just fold hand and watch them. So any action by the doctors is reactionary. Otherwise, what does a doctor gain by victimizing a nurse who has done him no wrong. But when a nurse starts claiming he /she can do what d doctors can do...I wonder!! My brother, just reason that.

hey, shut up.

ImaIma1:
I think some women exaggerate it...they probably never get help from their husbands on a normal day and are trying to punish him .

I hardly had cravings i couldn't control. I never woke hubby up for food. I still did things myself...still cooked for him most times. And if i didn't feel up to cooking, i would tell him to get food.

An older friend said he drove to abule egba from surulere to look for masa (i think it is a Ghanaian food) and he once went to a mango sellers house at almost midnight because his wife wanted mangoes.

The question is...what do single pregnant women do? With no husband or man to send around. From experience i realized that this cravings can be controlled. Not the one that one pregnant woman will go and beg for jollof rice where they are cooking as she is passing by

Maza is a northern delicacy eaten mostly by hausaa in northern Nigeria

GeeString:
I won't go into any long sermon on this I'll just speak from personal experience.

No Nigerian woman is worth the trouble ahead. Infidelity is a serious Nigerian girl issue and it won't leave after marriage rather it will only get worse since her lifelong ambition has been fulfilled and she is now at peace.

Nigerian girls are materialistic and selfish. They do not truly understand the term "love".

Every Nigerian girl 25 & above has engaged in prostitution of some sort be it openly or 'coded'. There are corporate oloshos now sef. By prostitution I mean sleeping with a man for financial gain.

They are just not worth it.

I seriously doubt if I'll ever get married to a Nigerian girl. I'll have two kids from 2 different women & that's it.




Quote me & bash me but kindly produce counter-points or disprove my points while you do so. Oh & lest I forget I have no sisters & my mom is late too.

Goodnight.

bros no vex , belle dey pain me, I no fit laugh abeg

Hi,
I need your advice or counsel on this issue that has been giving me sleepless night.
I am sharing this on nairaland because i feel there are men and women of mature minds and who have lots of experiences on here from diverse walks of life who can be of help.

I have been unemployed for almost 10months now, though before now i worked as a Chemistry teacher for some years until tragedy struck early last year(lost a very vital person in my life). I had to quit the teaching job (because the incident happened at the time where the senior students were preparing for their WASSCE) and as the first born i had funeral rites to perform.
After the burial things weren't too pleasant with me, so i had to re-locate from Lagos to Benin (to stay with an Uncle). My plan was that after everything i would go for any professional course or do one of these HSE courses to boost my chances of getting a job, but due to re-location and financial constraint i had to think of something else.


It happens that where i am currently staying in Benin; along Benin-Agbor road, close to NNPC depot before Benin-Agbor by-pass; has this influx of trailers and heavy duty trucks transporting goods and PMS/diesel/coaltar to and from other states.
Hence the availability of lots of truck's spare-parts markets in the area as well truck mechanics with shops everywhere dealing in repairs of different types of truck (Scania, MACK, M.A.N diesel, etc).



Being that i have been idle for a while now, a thought just came to me that instead of staying idle why not apply to be a Diesel Injector engine mechanic apprentice.

I want to know if that thought is worth giving a try and what are the things that may likely happen being that i did not read an engineering course from the University and what may become of my life. I am 28years of age.


Please help a brother by pushing it to front page mod.

my dad is a mechanic, myself I install aluminum windows, doors,roofing etc, a bsc biochemistry holder, presently, we stopped my younger sister from gaining admission until she is tru with the tailoring she is learning, bro once you are educated with a handiwork ,watch how customers come to you, bro it never a waste

grabben:
Muyiwa, you too can export your maize and make a staggering amount of money. It is easy. Click on the first link on my signature to know how you will go about it.

fool, why not create your own thread

can we do something like this to baba come 2019. likes for yes and shares for no

it actually a hotel that the guy drowned in not the game reserve itself, Bauchi state uses the name yankari in most of her businesses, yankari game reserve is a wild life park in the outskirts of town while the resort is just a hotel in the GRA metropolis

carinmom:
Exactly what happened to me at wiki warm spring in that same game reserve when we went on field trip, I was saved by my classmate.

there is difference Btw yankari game resort and yankari game reserve, the later is a hotel just after government house GRA while the former is a wild life park at the out skirts of town towards go be state

Chaclaitmilk:
Divorce or accept his wishes only?
No other option?

What about persuasion and discussion?
Nigerian in laws have a way of intruding into other family members marriages and they can persuade the man to chase her out and seize her children.
I don't get why many Nairaland men have a strong anti women mentality.
And by the way it truly isn't about money. Not to brag but our dad worked in SPDC for over 30years and amassed millions of naira and cats and properties for his children. We can all sit down comfortably for the rest of our lives without working, we have enough. And my parents sponsored their wedding because he was still a struggling up coming young man. I can assure you she does not want his money.
He doesn't have a quarter of what she has.

if your sister his not yet ready let her go back to your father's house ,just a new marriage and she has started all this drama and u guys are supporting her.

9icest:
I disagree. You think Nigerian farmers can afford that chemical. You are off point. The only few companies I know who go though this processes are Starcek in Kano, Imperial Grains and the like who supply grains and PKC to poultry mills all over the South. They don't use gas chloride to dry corn and not ripen. The average farmer will just store the products inside a wooden silo with zinc roof that will turn the brain of the prouduct so it can ripen fast. Abeg ignore this write up and enjoy your food. Only imported foods are the killer here not the local ones. Most of the fruits in shoprite are total poison. Stay away from that shyt. Just buy their wine and gadgets but not the edible

shut up this fool, calcium carbide which goes for as low as #50 you say they can't afford

KOPT33:
You see nothing wrong because it is not happening to you.

Sir it is obvious you either know that bride in particular or you have issues with the guy.

KOPT33:
Removed your rose colored glasses and admit that the man has a physical disability. 90% of people who meet him will not have an opportunity to assess him based on his personality and character, they will at first assess him physically, and that is where he will encounter road blocks.

Liberal thought is great, but sometimes, one has to say things the way they are. If you had a choice, will you give out your daughter to a physically deformed man?

Every other thing is secondary to my impression of him. Yes, he could be a great provider, a great father, and the richest man in ten local governments, but it doesn't subtract from the fact that this man is deformed, although I should add by no fault of his.

I see nothing wrong if my daughter comes home with such a man for a husband, the only thing I look for in a man is his ability for him to take care and fend for his family, a good father and husband , we don't have it all in life, I have seen marriages, I can confidently tell you it her choice

KOPT33:
I don't think the wind of change has blown in the girls family. If not, they will not hand her over to a man with diminished social capital.

who told you so, what is wrong with your view of things, under what category can you confidently call him a diminished social capital, I only see he his hunched , does he look like a liability to you, that man can confidently fend for himself and his family without external assistance, women no longer follow men because of pregnancy and other factors, a woman mor often than not would pitch her tent where she feels she has a secured future, that lady has option of tying down the pregnancy to other guys if she was forced as you are making it look .

KOPT33:
Were you born and raised in the east? I am shocked you don't know how families manage ime mkpuke.

bro times are changing, I understand where you are coming from, but that bride was not coerced into marriage period, even from the looks on her face, gone are those days pregnancy outside wedlock was such a big thing, ime mkpuke no longer holds ground
