Politics / Re: Kwara Residents Digging Ground With Bare Hands To Get Drinking Water: Video by chinene1(f): 7:34pm On Sep 20, 2021 |
Who is their local government chairman? Who represents them in the house of rep? It's alarming that a lot of places do not have access to clean drinking water when there are so many affordable options the government can implement. From wells to boreholes to Renagua atmospheric water generation www.renagua.com. I can't even imagine how these people cope. These people only get a visit from government officials when its election time. |

Majestybaba92: Hi, you can try Lagos Island market or trade fair. Just be sure you don't act like you are new to the market so they don't rip you off. For trade fair, Rivers plaza is the area to source for cosmetics in wholesale. Thats where I shop mostly unless I need some special items. They also sell perfumes and hair care products opposite. Start with more low end items and fewer high end items so you don't tie down your capital. Items that will sell fast depends on the location of your shop so do a survey of similar shops around and ask your family and friends who live close by what they are likely to buy often. Hope this helps. 2 Likes 1 Share |

JamParkMe: If this were something less serious, then yes your analogy would have made good sense. But when it comes to disease no one fully understands and where people we should trust are economical with the truth then no, I disagree but then that's my opinion. Can't force anyone to agree with me and you shouldn't force your opinion no matter how much you think it's worth on someone else. Peace out. |

JamParkMe: When it's your life on the line, you are free to judge as you like. Someone comes into the country without symptoms and decides to take people to go get tested is hailed for having forsight when one of them tests positive even without showing symptoms cos he is well known. Another ordinary citizen tried same but did not succeed and he is selfish but the governor who had the test done 6 times isn't. Hopefully if you find yourself or someone close to you in a similar situation, you will have the opportunity to take your advice or offer your opinion. 5 Likes |

JamParkMe: Calling the person unserious because he decided to seek out testing and be proactive in protecting himself and those around him is shocking. Its simple for you to list what you think he should do but you've not been exposed or had to live with that fear. I see nothing wrong in what he has done and I appreciate his effort at unmasking just how f**ked up the whole system it. At the end, to each his own. P.S, you don't really know what goes on when one is admitted. If it was that easy, most of the earlier cases would have been discharged by now. 3 Likes |

JamParkMe: I guess you've not heard of cases where the person does not show any symptoms or very mild symptoms but is infected and can infect others. It is not true that other countries are testing only those showing symptoms. Some countries quarantine you right from the airport and test you. 1 Like |

Health / Re: 14 New Cases Of Coronavirus In Nigeria, Totalling 111 Confirmed Cases by chinene1(f): 10:41pm On Mar 29, 2020 |
This government is still playing politics with the lives of Nigerian citizens. At the beginning, NCDC kept us updated about the number of new infections, how these numbers increased (imported or close contact locally) and number of people discharged. Guess the 6 Lagos State said would be discharged soon are still sick and infectious. Now they just tell us the number of cases per state only. How then do we know how fast this disease is spreading locally? Is the government putting a gag on the information so the whole world does not find out how they risked the lives of their citizens because of a selected few or they are afraid to show the whole world how unprepared they are even after all the rubbish talk from Lai and Adesina? Other countries will learn and grow from this but it's a pity Nigeria will remain the same if we are unable to hold our government accountable. The president's prerecorded speech today just buttressed the already known fact that Nigeria is royally screwed! 3 Likes |
Romance / Re: Am I Making A Mistake? by chinene1(f): 8:50am On Dec 17, 2019 |
This isn't love. We assume someone who shows some sort of feeling towards us, loves us. Love does not hurt you. Love does not make you second guess your sanity. Love does not make you feel like you are in a war zone. Love builds you, not tear you down. Your partner is supposed to be your refuge and your peace of mind. It is inevitable that lovers will have disagreements, a difference of opinion which may lead to quarrels but if you truly love someone you will ensure that you take time not to hurt the person. Again, this man will not change unless he wants to and from your write up, he says sorry and then does even something worse the next time shows he is not ready to consider your feelings. For those who are putting pressure on you to accept him as he is, understand that they won't be with you in your marriage and you will face whatever comes alone. I detest domestic violence and emotional blackmail and it is the deal-breaker for me. I can not tell you to leave him or to stay with him. Just don't be deceived that he will change. Be ready to accept all the crap he is throwing at you and believe me, once you say I DO, it won't stop. Good luck. dannyla: 1 Like |
Health / Re: I Have This Skin Disease And I'm About To Get Married... Help Needed!! by chinene1(f): 9:53am On Nov 29, 2019 |
Ifeelsad: I also had a mild case of this a while back although not as serious or extensive as this. I suspect it started from your chest area and spread across to the rest of your body. Mine covered my chest, upper arm and upper portion of my back. I still don't know what caused it but I suggest you stay away from any harsh cream, disinfectant or soap. It only makes it worse. I didn't take any drugs or use any medicated cream or soap. I made my own soap and cream from natural stuff around me at the advice of my friend . For the soap, I used Ghana black soap (500 naira wrap) Shea butter (100 naira worth) Coconut oil (2 tablespoons) Turmeric powder (1 teaspoon) Sandalwood powder (1 teaspoon) Sulphur powder (1 tablespoon) Oat (regular oatmeal) Rice water (I small cup) Powdered milk (50 naira sachet) Vitamin E capsules (5) Honey (2 tablespoons) Olive oil (2 tablespoons) Lemon juice. ( 1 medium-size lemon) You can check youtube on how to mix them to make soap. For the cream, I mixed Shea Butter (the base) Olive oil (2 tablespoons) coconut oil (2 tablespoons) Olivera oil (10 drops) Vitamin e oil (5 drops) Vitamin C oil (5 drops) I used these for about 2 two weeks and it started to clear. Now I use it 5 times a week and on the other days, I use any good shower gel (dove, lux, Olay, and so on) and dove cream (the one in the bottle). I don't know if it has a cure or what the cause is but I believe if you use these consistently, you will definitely see results. The good thing is it also helps fade the scars caused by it and it does not bleach you. Funny enough, I had chickenpox along the line and after the treatment with calamine lotion and 7 keys, I went back to this and all the scars are gone. You won't know I had chickenpox. I hope this helps. 1 Like 1 Share |
Business / Re: Cosmetics Shop Set Up by chinene1(f): 11:26am On Jul 25, 2019 |
Hi, I am glad you've been able to learn something from it. In all honesty, the cosmetic business is profitable but then again it depends on what you term as profitable. It's not a business that has a huge turn over immediately but if you are careful with pricing you can make a good profit over time. I have had my shop for over 3 years now and I have been able to pay my rent, pay my sales girls monthly and still have something left over to reinvest, spend or save for rainy days. The first year was really tight. I bought some products that took over 6 months to sell-off tying down my money while others I had to order for every 2 weeks. I also started selling on Jiji and Jumia so I was able to expand my customer base. I started with a little over 650k. This covered shop rent, building 2 wall to wall glass shelves and 1 small moveable shelf, renovating (painting, fixing sockets and lights, interlocking carpet, building covert, standing fan, extension box, wall mirror, advert banner), buying items to sell as well as sanitary stuff for cleaning the shop, 3 months salary for my salesgirl, and some other small things. You may not need as much as what I spent initially. You could just start with the basics and then expand as time goes by. Hope this helps. suprememoney: 1 Like |

This is exhausting. Reading all these comments about the who will do what to the woman who was assaulted and abused if it was their 'husband' she messed with or rather 'husband' who messed with her'. I wonder if it was a man who got this treatment, would the response be the same? Would we call him out and wish they dealt with him more than this for trying to break another man's home? Very doubtful. I am sure we will call the woman a LovePeddler. Would we pity him? No. We will pity the husband for having such a loose woman as a wife. Would we call him names and insult his tribe and generation? No, we will reserve that for the woman. For some, it was the moral aspect of it. Not about the sin of adultery as going against the teachings of the holy book (in which case both man and woman will be guilty) but the sin of adultery 'invading' the 'sacred' matrimonial bed. After all, you are not Jesus so why should you look kindly on the adulterous woman. We can stone her to death for all we care. Keeping emotions aside, this woman was beaten, stripped, disgraced and blackmailed. A woman, a human being and some of us try to justify it. Some say she deserved it and more. What about the man who invited her? What if she had died? What if she got seriously injured? How have we descended to this level of becoming barbaric? We need to reset our moral compass and open our eyes. All life is precious and should be respected. Nigeria is already hard. Don't take out your frustrations on others. 3 Likes |

jcccccc: Nigeria I hail oh. People are talking about the abuse. assault and blackmail of a woman, a human being and a follow Nigerian citizen and others are raving about her state of origin. Amazing. Few people talked about the attitude of the man or the fact that he invited her over. No oh. Most are concerned about how she wants to break someone's home. I guess its our mentality where the 'man' is never wrong. We still have a long way to go as a nation. |

The idea for this scheme would have being good if properly thought out. These loans are interest and collateral free so what happens when people don't pay back? Will the government deep their hands into the treasury to continue funding it? 10k may look small but multiple that with 50,000 people who decide not to pay back and see how much the Nigerian economy will lose. Again, let's not forget we are already paying Mpower allowances. If this money (if we are to believe this figure is real) was used to set up small scale industries which provides products for the local and international market especially in states that always depend on bail out funds to pay workers, I am sure that it will be a lot more beneficial than giving out 10k as a business loan. More people will earn a living and thus improve their life. Why can't Nigeria get it right? And I disagree, with the right formula and the right people, we can achieve more than 50 million jobs in 50 years. I speak as a Nigerian without any party affiliation. tesppidd: |

All these people shouting sia baba up and down, did you bother reading the article? Do you understand what they are saying? This has nothing to do with buhari, atiku or any political party. I don't understand it. So if my idea to create a start up that is innovative and a sure money spinner gets attention and funding, it's due to a government full of recycled old bags with no shame? So because investors were impressed enough with ideas from our fellow country men and women, all credit goes to the government and not the people behind the idea? We are indeed asleep! |

Yes, sometimes they do their job but mostly, they stop people and force them to part with money just so they can meet their target. One official told me so. On a Sunday, I was coming from a filling station on Alagbole, Akure road when they stopped me by formal Mr Biggs. For those who know the area, that is not a major roads. They asked for papers and license, I gave them. Fire extinguisher and spare, I showed them. Then they said 1 of my tires was worn out. This was after 1 of them asked me to go. Apparently, the Oga said something to the one who asked me to go. He suddenly turned and said one of my tire was worn out. We argued for minutes because they took my license. I was given a ticket of 3k to pay. I paid the next day, went to Alagbado to collect my license and met the 'oga' by chance. The idiot had the audacity to ask me out. It was in the process I found out they only came there to meet their target. That my tire was no bad enough to warrant a ticket. I guess he felt his honesty work would get him points. I was truly angry and told him my mind. For those insulting the OP, you were not there, so you have no right to judge. 3 Likes 1 Share |

You need to be careful here. Very careful and diplomatic. Just continue honing your skills, learning new things, getting better at things you already know and bide your time. The time to prove your worth will come. It may take time but it will one day. I am speaking from experience. Don't do anything to force attention on yourself unless it is unavoidable. Does your company carry out a performance review yearly? This may be an avenue to show what you can do. Don't make your displeasure obvious to your boss. He is your boss and hence you are directly answerable to him. Don't dwell on this and lose your opportunity. |

There is a saying, those who control the media, controls the people. We have a right to know. You can report a story without promoting evil.

Do you know the formula for tax deductions on earnings? If truly this is a tax deduction then it is way above what it should be and again, not all earnings are taxable and as this is a loan, it should not be taxed. Not supporting any party but I need to point that out. I think the proper thing to do is inform the recipients about the deductions and the reason behind it. It's not too much to expect a breakdown on why 2,000 naira was deducted from 10,000 naira. SternProphet: 1 Like |
