AZeD1: The task is supposed to be completed in about 2 weeks time, but as at now, i have no idea of how to even go about the task. I won't get a query but my record might be "soiled". Agreements were made from the top and passed down to me so i'm kind of trapped. Hope you get my drift? Yes I do... You could pray for inspiration... Or give yourself some time to relax after which you brainstorm I don't really know what advice to give  |
Nairaland General › Re: Happy Birthday Cocolav by CoCoLav(f): 10:05pm On Jan 26, 2015 |
AZeD1: Yeah except for a meeting about my next task, a task in which the chances of me getting a query is like 90% Can't the query be avoided? Didn't you complete the task? And why do you feel you will get a query? |

AZeD1: Nice story.. You did physics in Jss 3? wow
My first dream was accounting but i thank God i never did, i'd have been so miserable. Yeah, you do all the sciences and the Arts so the school counselors can figure out your strong points and help you make a decision. |
Nairaland General › Re: Happy Birthday Cocolav by CoCoLav(f): 2:01pm On Jan 26, 2015 |
AZeD1: That's cool, happy for you.
How did you get into the law profession? What sparked your interest? Do you really want to know? hmmnmn! In JSS2 I wanted to be a pilot.. then I had 07/70 in physics in Jss3, failed chemistry, passed biology then failed mathematics too. So I sort of knew my school will never let me go into the science class. I needed to pick an area of interest because my school had given us forms to submit and the deadline was near. I borrowed a JAMB brochure from my sister and checked alphabetically to see what courses I could study. Whenever I see Maths, Physics or Chemistry as a requirement I just skip  Then I got to L and saw Law. It was like I had discovered a goldmine so I decided...Law it is. Probably if M had come before L I would have taken Mass communication. The requirements were quite easy....I was on top of my game in all the subjects it required...CRS, English, Literature and Government. That was how I started my journey with Law and 9 years down the line do I regret it? I don't know. I always start what I finish so I cant say if its because of my passion for it or my never give up nature that has allowed me to stay this long. I can say I am enjoying it though as I don't have to struggle to do most of the things it requires as my strengths are put to good use. |

AZeD1: That's nice. So are you a criminal lawyer? Well...I cant exactly specialize for now so I am into general litigation. But by next year I would have found my niche |
Nairaland General › Re: Happy Birthday Cocolav by CoCoLav(f): 1:05pm On Jan 26, 2015 |
AZeD1: I'd say criminal law or family law but then i don't think you'll have the composure to defend someone who defrauds a company so i'll go with family law. You would be surprised. I have learnt to separate emotions from making money  so you are wrong. |

Nairaland General › Re: Happy Birthday Cocolav by CoCoLav(f): 12:32pm On Jan 26, 2015 |

Teaching-illiteracy Doctors-health challenges Engineers-Fix roads, construct bridges... Software Developers...develop apps to make things easier I could go on and on... |

AZeD1: You are missing my point, My point is buying a land is not necessarily a better investment than a car as people's situation are different. Until you know a person's situation, you are not really in a position to advice. Recently, there was a thread in which the OP asked which bank he could be putting a fixed amount into so he could buy a car and then some started advising him to buy a land instead because a car was a liability bla bla bla, The OP later explained that he was a doctor and he wasn't comfortable entering public transport at 2am when he is called for an emergency.
Would you tell that person that a land is a better investment than a car?
*** On a side note, how are you, read your diary(as usual) and want to know how you are feeling*** Okay...that doctor example just put everything in perspective. I cant imagine. So we would agree to disagree then that one shoe doesn't fit all. I am feeling a lot better, thank you.  Thanks for reading too. |

[AZeD1 post=30143905] A car can be an investment.. Don't mix economics theory with practice. Examples 1)In my office, the dudes with car close later than those without cars, while we spend 2+ hours plus in traffic, they stay back to finish their work or learn something new. The best investment you can ever make is time management and people with cars have the luxury or leaving the office anytime they want(anytime after 5pm). They can plan their time/movement. I could counter this by telling you I stay late at work too just so I can beat the traffic and I don't have a car. By the time I am done, the traffic would have cleared. I was in a bus this morning and I was stuck in traffic. I got down and started to walk. Those with cars couldn't leave their cars behind could they? I got to manage my time as well. So you see? it could go both ways. Besides many companies provide staff buses these days. 2)When i was doing my Msc, the people with cars were always considered first for some kind of jobs. Also, ask anyone who has ever lived in Texas/California/Australia this kind of question and see their response. You cant tell me that they would ignore those who have brains and have a higher chance of getting the jobs done for those with cars. The cars could just be a mere coincidence. 3)You can't really put a price on comfort and nobody on his death bed says i wish i had more houses, land, cars e.t.c but you hear more of i wished i had lived more and trust me that living more isn't buying "Assets" That living more isn't buying cars either. Living more means spending time with your loved ones and those that matter. You dont hear 'I wished I had bought that Buggati Veyron when I had the chance'. |

Raymie: @OP, do yhu plan on developing the land in the near future either via business/residence? If yhu'intend buying land like all of us hoping to sell it at a much higher profit, welcome to the club of overpriced real estate and unwilling buyers. However if the purpose of yhur car is to oppress yhur neighbours and yhur exes, then yhur priorities need re examining. They are both assets and liabilities. The only difference is that one is fixed and the other not. BTW, so we know, the land location here is most likely not one in Lekki/VI or Gwarimpa/Maitama. Prolly in one obscure location that requires at least 3 motorbike trips buh still manages to sell above 1m with the perpetual hope that it will increase in value sooner than later  |

Justfollowit: He is yet to explain whether or not having a car will bring in more contracts or sales. A car in this case is not a necessity if you can perform your job without it though much more difficult.
@tolutweety
It is entirely different when some of us as in ladies prefer reality shows to National Geographic. But choosing a car above a land in Nigeria is plain stupidity. I think what he is trying to say is that it improves efficiency due to the fact that you get to meet more targets when you are mobile and possibly your job satisfaction improves when you are comfortable. Its the difficulty he is talking about. I still think a car isn't a necessity and I always discourage my friends from taking that step. A car is not an investment unless its one of those antiques that are sold at higher prices as the years go by. |
