My close friend lost his job due to a fight he had with his boss and later found he committed fraud just immediately after the lock down.

Now he's been confused on what to do.

I have told him to drop his pride and start driving keke or kowope bus as he can be making 20k daily and plan his life again.

Keke or bus can never get you 20k in a day, even if you resume driving by 5am and close for the day by 12midnight.

Reason is that you'll have to wait for your turn before loading. And when you eventually load and get to your destination, before it reaches your turn to load again, it can take up to 30 minutes or more, depending on the number of Keke or bus drivers ahead of you and availability of passengers on ground. We've not even talked about running cost like fuel, police, loading money for agbergo, food... etc, which will be removed from the money you made.

He can go ahead and do the Keke or bus business tho, but should erase the thought of making 20k daily so that he won't be disappointed.

This is a leader who cares for the welfare of his people, cos he understands that leadership is all about service, and the people need to be encouraged for their efforts in labor.

Unlike here where our leaders have borrowed and taxed us to the extent that keeping money in your account for a long period of time isn't safe anymore cos the government might just steal borrow it without your knowledge.

They haven't implemented the minimum wage of a merely N30k yet, they wouldn't hesitate to tell us how fuel over there is more expensive than the N170 per liter they're giving us, forgetting that the average man over there who earns over 2m as minimum wage can easily afford a liter of fuel compared to the average Nigerian earning 30k on paper as minimum wage but less than 20k in reality.

1. Go for PGD

2. Then do your Msc

3. Then run some Professional courses in your field.

4. Then look for a job.

If you don't have the finances to achieve the advice above, learn a skill.

bro truly I opened different moniker to solicit for help because of my situation, but I never scammed anyone. I only asked for help base on the fact that I needed d help, I never did business with anyone, hence d scam accusation.
and everyone who reached out to me, am still on good terms with them.
pls help me beg him to check d person who scammed someone very well, it wasn't me. and for those who believe I scammed anyone, am sorry but my present condition made me come online to solicit for help. am not a scammer

@Malbath accused you of scamming her of her hard earned 40k. The number she posted that you both used in communication matches one of the numbers you've posted here on another thread as revealed by the op. How do you explain that?

This is very revealing...but what do people gain in this?

Depends on your location.

Where are you located?

Money that people should use to set up small scale businesses for themselves, they'll be using it to amass degrees upandan.

Acquiring degrees isn't bad. It's just that Nigeria has failed as a country that's why there's no difference between an educated and an uneducated person.

MissB46:
I have been a sim registration agent for the past one year. I pay my fees and house rent from there as I have no one to help. Due to the current ban of sim registration, I have no other source of income. School is resuming soon and my house rent will soon expire. I don't know what to do at this point.

What about your parents, uncles, relations, try to reach out to them. Hopefully they'll help out.

If he has a PhD like he claimed he should move into the academic field. Apply for lecturing job in all these private polytechnics and universities, use the working experience there to build his CV, then apply in federal or State universities. Hopefully he'll get employed.

Sixfeetbelle:
But, as with Op's story, it is the man that would do DNA first nah. And if it's negative on him, will he wait to check the test against his wife before accusing her of infidelity?

It is where husband and wife agreed to do DNA test together that wife can be vindicated, not when the man does it behind his wife's back.

If she's certain that she didn't cheat on her husband, she can defend herself by requesting for a DNA test to be conducted on her as well, regardless of how angry the husband is he will have no choice than to wait for the outcome of his wife's test.

Sixfeetbelle:
This is the exact reason why this DNA test of a thing is worrying to me. Yes, it's true that it will help prove 99% paternity for some and hence help fish out liars and deceivers, but what about those that would be part of the unfortunate 1%? What about those that will encounter swapped babies or swapped test or medical irregularities?

We are talking about families here, not skin colour or hair texture. How many men will be patient/understanding enough to run the test also against the wife in the case of medical irregularities?

A swapped baby wouldn't have the same DNA as both parents cos none of them birthed him/her. In such cases the woman would be vindicated and the hospital where the child was born can be sued for negligence.

[/color][color=] Do students with aeronautic degree get job in nigeria

I doubt if any university in Nigeria offers that course.

And even if they do, airlines here would prefer to fly in expatiates to service and repair their aircraft than entrust it to Nigerian graduates, so they'll end up being jobless.

Pharmacy shop requires a lot of licence and registration which would make you spend more money.

Running a photocopy shop in a school environment is very lucrative, cos you don't need much to set up.

I'll suggest you go for the photocopy shop since you're on a low budget for now, with time, when you've attained financial stability, you can open the pharmacy shop.

chatinent:
Why does it look like a men-only sentence?

That has always been my problem from the onset. Young boys get sexually abused all the time. (Case study depper life school incident) but we're always making it seem as if it's only females that are victims.

My take is whatever judgement given to male rapist should be meted out to the females as well.

Good Afternoon, I am a salary earner.
What side hustle can I do or invest in to complement my salary.
I earn between 100-120k monthly.
2021 is here already.

All advices are welcomed.
Thanks.

Note.
I an online person- I can be online 24hrs.

Depends on how much you have on ground for the side Hussle. Your capital would determine the kind of business you can possibly do.

Sports and romance are totally different.

The examples you gave are strictly business. Love is emotional. If a girl whom you love cheats and leaves you, it would be difficult to get it over your mind let alone accept her back.

Your brother in-law's attitude has nothing to do with Igbo tradition.

Your husband is the first son, and you're his wife, so like he rightfully told you, your place is where he stands in the family.

I'll therefore advise you to ignore the brother like your husband suggested. He's just being childish an annoying one at that. When he sees you don't pay attention to it anymore he'll grow up.

Happy New Year oo

Don't tell me that you've never seen an African fruit salad before.

Why did you dig up this acient thread...?

Rocktation:
@ Crazyman..please don't mind me. There are lots of stuff you posted about that seemed to need specific responses. Started out to quote you yesterday though, but I got distracted by something in the real world here. Now I don't even know which to start with...

Any hooo...Happy Christmas for now shaa!

And happy birthday...31st is such a busy day. Hope you'll have time to celebrate it.

[quote author= post=97579131]Lol
That was why we said it is a confirm balanced diet.
Fruits are very good for the body and soul bro.
We eat a lot of it too @[/b].
Keep it up man.
Happy New Year in a bit.

[b]May our 2021 be fruitful and bountiful [/quote]Same to you...stay safe.

[quote author= post=97571740]Confirm, this one na real CrazyMan food o!
Funny moniker, Nice combinations!

Confirm balanced diet you got there CrazyMan!

On a funny note.....[/quote]Lol @CrazyMan food...I love fruits cos they're so natural, I eat lots and lots of 'em.

Dinner...I'm not much of a cook.

Fruit salad, combination of cucumber, watermelon, bananas, pawpaw, groundnuts and liquid milk. Very yummy if you ask me.

It's ok...I understand. You can reply them whenever you're less busy.

Merry Christmas and a prosperous New year to you.

dont8:
I'm good, bro. Wow, good to hear from you and other great guys, Rocktation, Mynd44, Ayobase. Thank God for his grace over us, the year was
something else, didn't know this is what Vision 2020 had in stock for us cos I was looking forward to it when it was conceived during Abacha regime with a lot of fanfare and pageantry �

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ahead.

My brother when abacha was talking about vision 2020 most people didn't understand. We that survived to see it will surely have bedtime stories to tell our kids.

I'm glad you're good... stay safe

Rocktation:
The latest Big Boy in townnn, congrats and thank God for your life.

Thanks!

Rocktation:
Have you arrived at the villa, safely? Cos I know that your people don't joke with travelling to the villa for Christmas. Unless of cos, you never left in the first place, which would be great in this era of skyrocketed price of fuel, rates of accidents and what not.

My dear I didn't o! With the insecurity on our roads coupled with the inflation in fuel price like you pointed out, and rumors of a possible lockdown... etc. I just decided to sit back before I embark on such journey and get stranded there due to lockdown and when we resume work I won't be able to show up.

Rocktation:
I'm also in asaba presently (which is not my villa anyways, but closer to home) and if na say one thing no do another, I for vex, cook that rice for you on Christmas day.

Are you from Delta State? I do visit there quite often.

For the rice, Biko I understand don't over stress yourself... your desire to grant my request is good enough.

Rocktation:
Sorry about loved ones who left for a better place

Thanks... death is so so heartless. Was actually an aunt (My dad's youngest sister) a church member, and two friends who died in an accident. Crazy thing is that I was supposed to be in that vehicle but I didn't travel with them cos of my job. Was really terrible.

Rocktation:
and thank God again for your achievements. Got an early Christmas gift myself, in the form of an answered prayer; a very dear one won the ticket for a local government chairmanship position! Yay! The gbedu has refused to end.....

Wao that's good. Don't you think you should go into politics yourself, I'll support you in whatever way I can. Women are making waves in politics these days o. Don't dull. I believe you've got the charisma for it. And you sound like a good listener to me as well. You'll do well in it. Just give it a shot.

Rocktation:
Right now, I'm really just wondering why Mynd would not celebrate Christmas.. Is it a domination thingy or the context of situation he found himself? Perhaps, you'd asked him for lunch as you did me and that was his own bolting strategy...

Lol... asking my fellow bachelor for lunch. I don't want to eat concoction biko. Besides not everyone is actually crazy about the whole Christmas stuff. I myself just use it to visit friends family whenever I'm in the village.

Rocktation:
Idk whether Ayobase's wife traded off her yes to marriage for his phone, as he became very anti-nairaland immediately he got married and started having kids...

I won't rule out that possibility, you women really do know how to guard your assets. Maybe she doesn't want to loose him to social media.

Rocktation:
Back to you again Crazy, thank you for always being there, nairalandly. For always following, liking, sharing whatever you read from me...

What are friends for...

Rocktation:
You must indeed be a loyal somebody, because you'd said you'd always stop by, years ago...and yeah, here you really still are. Continue being good if you really are and strive to be...just incase you are not. If for nothing, to catch an equally correct woman to marry, if that is a priority, because I believe that the vibes you exude, attract a group that would be ready to pitch in and amplify them. I don't care if anybody else thinks differently.

Thanks for the compliment...Tne thing about me is that I do keep to my word....concerning women, by God's grace I'm hoping to sort that out next year.

Rocktation:
I wish you, myself and all good people better experiences in the coming year and beyond.

I wish you the same. And please stay safe.

Mynd44:
Christmas still the same for me. Just a lot of bad memories. I am cool sha.

Congrats on your wins, wish you more

It's well...the Lord is your strength.

Good to know you're good.

Wao so this controversial year is finally coming to an end..I'll say 2020 was something else. all in all I give God the glory for my life.

I had an accident earlier in the year, but I'm completely strong Hale and hearty.

Lost a good number of relatives and friends this year.

I also achieved some good things this year tho... got a car via Nairaland.

My Thanksgiving is that none of us is Missing.

Rocktation: How have you been...its been ages. I'd say you owe me Christmas lunch. It's my right as a bachelor.

Mynd44: you once told me you don't celebrate Christmas. At least I'll get to eat your ration. How are you doing?

Dont8: you just went MIA. Hope you're good.

Ayobase: Not a word from you either...hope you're good.

Start the sewing business, establish yourself in it then enrol for part-time. If you start schooling without any form of financial backup or sponsor, you might end up dropping out along the way cos the money involved in schooling isn't a child's play.

The Lord is your strength.
