Interesting but I have to laugh at the bolded. The idea of a fair playing ground is a myth. As a migrant, your access to many things are limited. Go there with a visitor's visa, try to work with it and see if you will have access to anything, not even a place to rent even if you have the money. Do you know how many Nigerians that are in shelters and makeshift houses in Canada? Need I mention those in basements? Where's the fair ground that you are talking about? They are barely living over there and are struggling to survive, take my word for it. Only those with PR and specialized skills live an average normal life. Same with UK. Don't even mention US lol.

As per doing business in Nigeria, it may seem hard but it all depends on the line of business you choose to go into. There are many businesses one can do here and get by. Bolt isn't even one of it. Why waste so much to get visa, travel out to live a mediocre life when you can invest the money in Nigeria and increase your worth within a couple of years? It doesn't make sense. Where are you running to when your country is not at war?
Are you really sure of this? I can't even step out of my house since morning because anywhere you turn to someone is asking you for financial help and it's already frustrating!!! I think we are at war, na only cutlass we never carry!

The bolded is a serious case! some clients are so kind to understand your predicament, you can't blame others (client) who feel it doesn't make sense, it's really annoying. The vendors are the greedy ones, a stock he bought for ₦50 per unit after calculating all expenses (Transportation cost etc) he decided to sell the stock to gain profit for ₦150 per unit, you go to this vendor to buy for ₦150 on Monday, the vendor will tell you that if you come the next day, he'd sell the same stock for ₦200 because market price has increased, the same stock he bought for ₦50 ooh.

Pure Greed!!!

In Accounting, there is what we call replacement cost..If the vendor decided to sell for 50 naira as you've advocated, abeg how is he going to get another one to his shop?

Health / Re: Nigerian Nurses To Work For 2 Years Before They Can Practice Abroad - NMC by dapotemi: 5:20am On Feb 09
happney65:
Just like what I wrote on Instagram a while ago

I support this 100 percent. Infact they should make it ten years sef . The same with Doctors and Dentists. This should however be mostly applicable to graduates of government tertiary institutions funded through subsided education

However the government should also do better for medical personnel in Nigeria. Increase their pay and employ more hands not this nonesense government does every now and then

I was happy when I saw it, it's long overdue...Like you said, for those who went to tertiary institution ONLY!!!You cannot go Tru a subsidize rate and yet govt won't get to enjoy your service..and I agree that govt should pay them more, atleast!!!But tell me any professional that is getting good salary except for politician..

We are still at this site, and currently at a dept of 190m, it only gets more intense... However we continue our drill.

Facing difficulties in uploading live images at the moment. sad

It wasn't an easy task, but at the end we successfully completed the drill and halted at a dept of 275m... There is more than enough water to be shared around. And possible overflow in situation of minimal usage, we didn't hit an artisan well but the formations, had more than enough water fracture evidences from the drilling.

We have been contracted to handle the pump installation. And when shall be proceeding with a two channel pumps in the same hole grin
With multiple outlets.

It going to be an interesting one. Thanks for your patronage sir. And also to all our prospective clients, we appreciate your patronage.

Can you imagine as big as Ejigbo is.
If there is a good hospital, he would possibly be still alive.

It is high time the well traveled Ejigbo people come together and think of how to develop their town, if the government isn’t showing to be responsible.

I know Ejigbo and to be honest if anyone wants to help that town there are better ways to do it that contesting to be ANYTHING!! If this man called his PROFESSOR friends in the U.S that they should help support an initiative like building a small hospital in Ejigbo, you can imagine how that could ha e helped today but rather he wants to leave US to contest for a house of REP in that town.. I'm not justifying Whatever happen to him but am just saying Naija politicians are the SAME, including the INTENDING ones....

Properties / Re: Can ₦2M Finish The Construction Of A 2-Bedroom Flat? by dapotemi: 3:42pm On Jan 30
Charisdesigns:
The Answer you seek lies in two places
1) the floor plan
2)the nature of your land (sloppy or flat)

However for a basic 2bedrooms bungalow to finish, keep atleast 4m.

Attach is a 2 bedrooms designed by us with flat roof and construction cost is way above the 2m threshold

Pics 1 design
Pics 2 build





It will also interest you to see how the nature of you land affects construction cost. check out our live construction thread of bungalow flats on a very sloppy land.

(Please note that this cover areas surrounding the community school till the police station, all the terrain from siun junction down to boundary of owode are sedimentary formations.

We started looking for another hotel, went to 3 location but arrive at one at the back of lagoon hospital, drove for like 15 mins..By that time I don choke with garlic/ginger!

I can assist regarding the well, but your exact area in Abeokuta will determine my advise on which well to go for ringed well or bore wells(either air compressed or rotary). Also is the use residential or commercial?

Omoapena:


I don experience similar thing o, got the request from commercial avenue to folarin, the folarin she selected is the one in idi araba while the one she's going is at palm avenue, I connected bishop street straight to idi araba and she asked where am I going, I told her to the destination she put on the app, that's when she said her destination is palm avenue, I just told her this is where she put and if she wants me to take her to her correct destination, she will have to add to the fare, she started arguing saying she can't, I gave her option to either take her to the one she put on the app while she pay me completely or she drops here while she pay me a certain amount or we renegotiate to take her to her correct destination, she said she's not going to pay me anything if she's dropping where we are and she's not going to add if I take her to her correct destination, I just sensed a very serious trouble so I drove her to alakara police station, on getting there, she just changed mouth started saying we could have resolved the issue within ourselves instead of bringing to the station coz the police were on my side. Last last, she paid me extra and I made sure I collected more than enough for the stress...


TBH, part of the reason why I hate indriver, some will order to wrong destination and will expect you to take them to the right one with same fare, some will even be telling you where to pass cox someone wants to drop along that route, some will even branch supermarket, restaurant and co, and they will expect you not to talk for that delay time, some will even order you and when you get there, they will waste your time for 20mins and still expect you not to complain.

I have experience this many times and I think majorly it's just the way we reason...An average rider thinks she OWN you and she has the right to order you around because she's paying...It requires alot of patience...Someone will say can you quickly stop at KFC? Can be annoying to be honest! I know some drivers are strict and all that but not everyone is built that way! Sometimes I'll tell myself that I'll make trouble with the next rider that tries that shit with me, when the time comes, I'll just let go again..some of us are not just built for wahala....moreover, na how many people you wan fight per day, per week, every month! You see where MENTAL HEALTH comes in? Can anyone tell us how best to protect one's mental health in this Hussle? The truth is you may not know, but just ask people around you, your love ones how you dey behave? Tell Dem to be honest!
The day I ask my wife, she says am too aggressive and ALWAYS ANGRY!!!
My daughter says she doesn't like asking me for anything because I'll just shout at her straight....mehn fear catch me because am not really like that o
