from this pastor's prayer one can understand why the members left

True. He obviously had nothing to offer them other than threats. A clear reason why they were all fedup of him and decided to leave.

What about agriculture ( say poultry or fishery aspects of animal farming)

You must understand animal farming in details before going into it. All those scammers selling handbooks and boasting of how you can make millions through animal farming, don't have a single farm. Most of them haven't even seen a cat fish pond before.

What they use for survival is the proceedings made from the sales of their e-book, seminars...etc and not the farm itself cos they have none.

Poultry and fisheries are good business but there is more to it. I have a friend who invested over 5m in poultry farming. As I'm typing this, his farm has been abandonded. He couldn't even secure half of the capital used for the business.

I'm not saying its a bad business, but if anyone must go into it, I'll advice that you look for those who have left the business after recording some level of success and picked up another line of interest more profitable than the former, and let them advise you...they're the ones who you're guranteed an honest opinion. They'll tell you the secrets, advantages, disadvantages, feeding, the breed that moves market in your location, the sizes that sells faster, medicine, water treatment to prevent infection (for fish farming)...etc. you'll get all this vital information for free cos they know that you're not competing the market with them since they themselves are no longer in it.

Anything outside professional opinion from an experienced animal farmer, you're definitely going to learn the business the hard way after recording repeated lossess.

I'm telling you, no smile, no joy and it seems more like Buhari is more happy to meet them. Than them meeting a sitting president. This shows that they are children of the affluent. If it was someone from OOU now. You will have seen the unbridled joy on the persons expression. Everything in Nigeria is bribe or Connection

They're foreign graduates. Children of the elite in the society. Probably schooled in top universities in UK, USA or Cannada.

I can bet with anything that none of those four coppers schooled here in Nigeria, hence their nonchalant attitude towards meeting with the Major General. They obviously have met him severally, both within and outside the shores of this country.

Ibadan

Ibadan is a great City to start up a very good business with such capital...however, here are a few options I'll give out that you can pick from with your 900k

1. Dry cleaning business. With less than 500k you'll get your washing machine, shop rent, generator, iron, and other expenses.

2. Car wash with less than 600k you can begin this business, all you need is a good location with a very good drainage system then the following items for start-up.
Overhead tanks to store water in scarcity
Generator to power the equipment and lightings
Detergents that are friendly to the car painting layer
Buckets, brushes, mop and towels or car washing machine if affordable
There might be some more to meet specific demands of customers but above are the least things needed for initial stage.

3. Betting shop This is another area you can invest your 900k. In a location like ibadan, you can easily find someone who's willing to sell his bet shop less than 700k. And because the youths of today see betting as a way out of poverty and hardship, you're definitely going to make it.

4 Standard barbing saloon With less than 900k you can startup a standard barbing saloon business. Just get the shop rent have a carpenter construct the wood work, then do the necessary shop registration as required in your location, and get the following items
Large mirror
Generator
Clippers
After-shave, powders, other barbing creams, Combs...etc
Chairs.
Fan

Good luck

Please advice, I have # 900k, what type of business should I invest in?

Where are you based

This government keeps rendering people jobless. They keep promising to create millions of jobs, yet to create policies where the sustainance of the little jobs the massess engage in for suvirval can be guaranteed has become a Herculean task for them.

Now that they've successfully eradicated okada and keke, what next?

The state just issued a ban and expected everyone to comply or face the consequences without effective measures on ground to provide those affected with alternative means of income which they and their families can survive on?

My question is are we in the military era, cos it's only in the military era I know a head of state or military governor can issue a decree and implementation takes off hours after the decree.

But this is democracy, we have a state house of assembly where such issues needs proper deliberation and provision of possible solutions the mass unemployment is most likely going to create before implementation takes place.

Hello nairalander, i just got scammed by a fellow nairalander now. He scammed me of 20k as a result of deployment. He promised to change the state for me in the next 24hrs, which i paid him in full. His full name is, MKPARU CHUKWUDALU ERIC. His phone number is 08030527471. Please, anyone who knows him to inform him to refund my money before evil befalls him. Thanks

What's his Nairaland username?

As a Christian I agree with Easter.

Cos it serves as a reminder that Christ died for mankind. The date isn't actually my problem like most people argue, the most important thing is that he (Christ) died and resurrected.

Nigerian government can mumu ehnnnn...
You're trusting people to self-quarantine in their houses because they are Jesus Christs and care about Nigerians abi? Will they even be teleporting from the airport to their hotel rooms and houses? Patrick Sawyer did not teach you people anything. Dundees..

Safest precaution method for now is to avoid Chinese people. As degrading as this sounds is that they will have little or no screening upon entry into the country. Their white skin qualifies them to move around the country with unrestricted access.

The government will keep slumbering until cases and casualties are being recorded and confirmed.

The best is to keep yourself and family safe... Happy New year.

My ordeal

I worked with an organization where I was to be given stipend as salary with the excuse of been on probation. Doing this Job, I was seriously looking forward to places I submitted my Resumé for interview.
After working with them for a month and a week, (salary not yet given). I got a mail to come for an interview in another better company.
Tryna observe protocol, I brought to their awareness in a formal letter about my going for an interview which was granted.
But on my resumption, I was handled sack letter with no salary. Meanwhile, I asked for the stipend but I was threatened with police. So not to end up in cell because of chicken change. I took their leave and never return there.

Location Abuja FCT
Company was owned by Igbo woman and being managed by her younger sister.

Your biggest error was informing them (your employer) of the interview.

Most privately owned businesses (one man business) tend to loose interest in staffs when they tell them they're going for an interview. They feel you would no longer be productive to them cos your interest lies elsewhere.

The best thing was to call in sick (report to work and form sickness)...tell them you want to treat yourself then you leave and attend your interview.

If you get lucky and you're given the job, you then tender a resignation letter.

Midasdave:
Need opinion
1. Is it improper to go for an interview(in another company) when on probation.

It's not improper cos you're not in a cult neither did you enter into any form of covenant with them.

Midasdave:
2. Why do you think I wasn't paid?

You weren't paid because your boss is heartless.

Midasdave:
3. What should I do?
Pardon my grammatical error.

Concentrate on the interview you had with the new company. You mentioned that the money you were earning from the previous company was on the low side, therefore using legal means to fight for your rights would require you spending more than the amount you're expecting them to pay you. In my opinion I'll call it "pennywise pound foolish"

McCoy662:
What if she's deeper life?? Those peeps easily gets things twisted. If she's deeper life, my brother, start submitting your CV some other places.

Then she's a hypocrite...how would you sack a staff because he told you that you look good? Is that what they teach them in their church...haven't you seen how majestic the Bible describes God and his throne?

Feedback about how to improve is highly welcomed. Thanks

I just got sacked by my deeper life member boss. He said i play too much of wizkid music. That he need someone spiritual to handle his business.Whenever my phone rings and he heard it sings Joro Joro . I'm depressed I swear...��� My passion has Implicated me. I'm depressed.

What kind of silly boss sacks his staff just because he dislikes his ringtone...People like your former boss heap work loads on their staffs with very little pay to show for their tiredless efforts, and would even owe them salaries sometimes.

Don't worry, you'll get something much better... staying jobless as a free man is much better than earning peanuts as a slave

Nathdoug201:
Watch as Nigeria police stop us from attacking shoprite..
The most useless force in the world..
Did you see any southy police when they where attacking Nigerians businesses there..
Stupid force

The ShopRite you're planning to attack are Nigerian owned business...what we know as franchise. You open your business with your own finance, register it under an already established business and inherit their customer base in your location.

So burning ShopRite is the same as destorying businesses owned by Nigerians cos aside the name, every other thing there is owned by Nigerians.

The police understands this that's why they're on ground to stop you guys...

usman3688:
I went for an interview last week and in the course of the interview I was asked when I could resume to which I replied March 1 which will make it 6 weeks from the day of the interview. When I got home and was discussing with someone about it he said the time I gave was too far that I should have given say two weeks or 1 month at most now I'm a bit worried about getting called for the job. Also I told them I would like to take double of what I am currently earning when they asked how much I wish to earn and they never bargained nor objected against what I said. It's a dream job that I hope I land cos the pay if they accept is really mouth watering and could be the beginning of a good life for me. And again to the question of if I could work anywhere, I told I could work anywhere in the country.
Please guys do u think I have a good chance of landing this job. Your candid opinion is needed and can I call them to confirm the status of the job if I don't get a call from them soon. Thank you guys.

For me the only error you made was telling them you want a double of your current salary...that's too much.

As for the resumption date, you're currently working and I believe they're aware of it. Some compaines in their staff handbook state clearly that staffs should give a month notice to the company piror to their resignation.

Since we're in the last week of January a month from now would be February ending so resuming March is quite normal from a logical view.

Also telling them you can work from anyway in the country is also a plus...most candidates frown at volatile states. Therefore giving them a green light on that area should cover up for your error of asking for a double pay if the company in question has branches across the country.

Finally, don't bug them, if they want you they'll contact you. Your credentials are with then. Contacting them shows desperation.

Good luck.

Jesus

Dis union is far bettet than having a nigeria girl who has nothing to offer than to exhaust u

Lol...I'd pick a Nigerian girl anyday any time. Cos it's much more easier to control them than their American counterpart.

RaptorX:
If you know that this an arrange marriage, what made you think the US embassy doesn't know. Do people even know the process of migrating to the US as a spouse of an American citizen or you think it is just as simple as marrying some oyinbo and snapping pictures.

As long as the marriage is legal no one would stop him. What he needs to take to the embassy is the documents of the marriage once it's been verified to be authentic he's good to go. They respect their citizens decisions as regarding marriage... and don't influence it in any way.

If an American comes all the way to Nigeria and finds happiness here, her country wouldn't deny or deprive her of it.

You did the right thing. There's no need coming back there for the money let her have it...

I experienced something similar December. I travelled home and tried loading my phone through my bank app cos my subscription was to expire the following day. The network was so bad so I decided to partronize the nearest recharge card vendor. On getting there I told her to give me Airtel 4k, she removed mtn and gave to me.

I have an mtn line which is my main line but the Airtel I was buying was for my data subscription. So I told her that nope it's Airtel I requested for. She started shouting that I've stolen her card that that's what people do these days. They would request for recharge card of #5000 snap it with their phone then return it back to her that they're not buying again only to go home and load it.

Then when another customer comes and request for card and those ones are given to him/her to load it would be impossible cos it has already been loaded leaving her with no option than to keep issuing card after card until the customer successfully loads one. And the loss of the ones that didn't enter would be on her head.

She was really raking o. That she has caught one of the thevies. That I should open my phone gallery. No be small thing o. People gathered and I even gave one of the overzealous guys there my phone to scroll through my phone gallery and when nothing was found I simply told them that I requested for Airtel and this girl brought mtn. Later someone just told me that since I've already collected the mtn and I have an mtn line, I should just pay for it and go. That that's the new style of theft guys do these days. They would request for let's say mtn say like 2-5k quickly snap it then return it and say it's glo they meant. The vendor would then collect back the mtn and tell them there's no glo for that amount, they would leave, go home and load the card since it's already been snapped.

I had no choice than to give her the cash for the mtn and still collected Airtel from her and left. I don't blame her though I know what it means to loose #500 recharge card into 10 places that's 5k. How much profit do they make per card kwanu?

Quality20:
D woman has kids, how is d guy gonna have kids even az ds woman seemed to have reached menopuause

By marrying her he's automatically a step father to her (the woman's) kids. So what does he want again if she has a grown-up daughter of above 18 he can even port to her sef.

Besides we all know that this is an arrangee marriage soley for the purpose of the guy obtaining an American permanent resident permit after which both parties can go their separate ways or remain friends with benefits.

Guy, there are people getting far below and living comfortably, U need to cut ur expence.

naijainfogalery:
If you are thinking of saving in Nigeria you are on your own, from experience, something will always come up. So to save

1. Invest 50% of your salary monthly in something you cant convert to cash easily - Buying properties etc
2. Do a direct debit to an account that you cant access, no deposit slip, no cheque , no ATM (dont bother asking for it) then do an automatic transfer of 10% of your salary monthly
3. Also do a savings with an insurance firm that u can only access after one year 10% of your money
4. keep another 10% for small small investment
5. Then blow the rest with all alacrity, trust me with the remaining change you will learn to spend wisely by force by fire

Well said

Dear Candidate,

You are hereby invited for an assessment with UBA PLC as detailed below:

Date: Tuesday January 21, 2020.

Venue: UBA House, 57 Marina Road, Lagos.

Time: 1pm prompt.

I meant the sender's email used to send you the mail.

Peteru1st:
Praying before entering this year, I didn't expect this. I work as a casual worker at Nigerian Brewery, Ota branch. I started the work 3 months ago. I was to resume on Monday after my off days at work. Getting there now, they said we can no more work at the factory, our access has even been blocked, we cannot even enter the factory again.

Please can anyone give me an insight on what to do to earn money. Anything legit please, even if its another job. Anywhere please.don't let me begin this year this way.

Sorry bro...this economy isn't favouring anyone most especially producers. It's most likely that they're downsizing in order to increase their profit base.

All hope isn't lost...keep searching I believe you'll get a much better job.

Good luck.

Ogochukwu3119:
I got a mail yesterday saying I should come for an assessment at UBA bank in lagos on Tuesday. Please is it true or did someone else get the same mail like mine. Is urgent

What's the email that sent you the message

I wrote Good pm ma, what a nice look.
She haven't confront me but she told her housegirl that I will have to explain what I mean to her when she come back..

Relax, she didn't confront you that means she isn't angry with what you said. If she found what you said irrating she would have responded directly to you and not involved a third party (her house help)

When she comes back, greet her normally and continue with your job, it's most likely that she'll let it slide or informally ask you what you meant by that statement. If the later is the case, simply tell her that you were appreciating God's creative art work in her and nothing more... believe me, women love being appreciated regardless of how unapproachable or mean they might look. That reply alone would make her giggle and give a fake hiss and ask you to return back to your job. But deep down she will be the happiest person that day.

There's nothing to worry about. No female boss would sack her staff for complimenting her looks.

But next time learn to mind your business...it reduces problems and unnecessary anxeity.

Ishilove:
That's a plan

And a plan needs a step in faith for it to succeed...stop admiring the plan and take the step. The faith of the world and our new race depends on it...and did I forget to mention that you'll get your wish as well.
