What is the population of Delta state? Is that a joke or mental illness? Delta state has the 7th highest number of registered voters in the country, having only a few thousand behind Oyo state which is very likely to surpass by 2023

Please I'm interested in this question, have you gotten an answer yet?
AltarBoy1: 99% of wealthy people are business men, you wont get to a greater height in wealth if you dedicate your entire life on a paid job. The average worker who is upright and doesn't involve in shady dealings ends up not been too wealthy or achieving much in life. Aside from multinational company's, most firms in Nigeria pay belwo 100k and when you factor in cost of leaving and daily expenses, how much can one save out of the salary in a month. Thats why I noted in the beginning of this write up that except you are working in a firm where your salary is above 100k and promotion/upward review of salary is certain within 3 years, then you are just wasting your youthful age when you work in such a place for long. If at the end of a year, you cant be able to save up to 1M, just try as much as you can to quit the job. Though its not easy, but its better you bear the heat and get out when you are strong and agile than wait when you get old.
My advice is that as early as possible, one should start looking for a business to start, irrespective of the nature of the business, as long as its legal and pays your bill just dedicate yourself to it and nurture it to growth/maturity. Business is easier to manage and nurture when your personal expense and responsibility is still very low, thats why its good to start when you are still under your parent, as a student or during NYSC. That way, even when the business fail, you have your family to fall back on until you gather the necessary resource to start again.
On a last note, when you have a striving business, by the time your kids grow up, one or two of them can you in the business and probably be on their own by having an offshoot of your business. That way they wont have to be looking for a job after school especially in this period of unavailability of jobs. But if you retire as a worker, you have nothing to pass to your kids to help them kick start their life. They will have to search for job or establish their own business.
I will also advice that if you have the opportunity of picking up a job as a sales rep of a company, please do not hesitate to accept it as this type of job gives you first hand experience of how businesses of buying and selling works. You will get to know how the market moves, the season when some certain goods are in high demand and with this experience, starting your own business in same line wont be difficult for you as you can even get some capital and purchase goods in the name of your customer and if you have a good relationship with him or with those around, selling the goods wont be much difficult through their help pending when you get your own shop/warehouse.
MODIFIED... My own rule of thumb is... IF YOUR JOB IS YOUR ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME, DONT QUIT YOUR JOB FOR A SIDE BIZ UNTIL THE BIZ IS A "GOING CONCERN" AND IS GIVING YOU MORE THAN HALF OF YOUR MONTHLY SALARY.
Nice write up sir. They don't teach raw facts like this in most business schools sef
NdigboWorldwide: Banana Island is very well overrated, those who have not travelled out of the country will think banana island is beautiful. But Eko Atlantic from what i can see so far is being well planned.
Even the EAC itself doesn't have a central green area.
Aconomist: Look at "banana Island" the most expensive real estate in Africa. It looks like a zoo! Everything shoddy, substandard and haphazard! A multi-million dollar state looks inferior to a common neighborhood in the United States! Black people are worthless. Someone please drop a nuke on Africa so the world can heal from this plague called negros.
Raydos: You're just giving rubbish excuses, Are indians pale skin?? Say the Fúçkiñg truth and stop beating around the bush!!
Africa/Black man is bereft of ideas to Develop his own nation, all he's concerned about is Looting, Buying expensive cars and Phones and private jets!!
Stop giving unreasonable excuses, Are the white people the politicians in Nigeria looting the money meant for infrastructure??
Are the white people the reason we can't provide common stable electricity?
Are the white people the reason for police brutality?
Are the white people the reason for Dilapidated Roads??
Just face the truth and stop beating around the bush, The black man is his own problem!!! Simple!!!
I like the fact that you have noticed how useless our African countries are especially the irredeemably worthless and delusional one called Nigeria. Poverty capital priding itself as African giant but the problem is the way African countries were formed, it was never formed to succeed. How you put so many different and totally unrelated ethnic nationality as a single country. Almost all developed countries are homogeneous, the Americas, Europe where they mostly have nation states even small Iceland and Estonia are independent nation states and are very developed because they are homogeneous. Even among the more very minimally heterogeneous Belgium (4/3 ethnicities) and Canada (french/Anglophone) there are small talks about separation. But when they came to Africa, they joined countries with over a 100 ethnicities and also very vastly different idealogical stand point as a single nation. That's why majority of subsaharan Africa and even India would never ever ever be on par with the West and far east Asia. The only developing African countries are Botswana which extremely homogeneous, so much so it is named after the tswana tribe who comprise over 95% of the population, South Africa with about 10 languages with some/many relating to each other and ethnicity is blurred since an average South African speaks 3/4 languages. North Africa which is overwhelming Arab and arabized Berber with a single religion.
Nigeria can never succeed as multi ethnic states, multi ethnic states with diverse religious and ideological view do not succeed
fratermathy: I came across a post on Facebook where a friend claimed that the army swapped his name for another person's name even though the registration number is his own. I don't have any reason to think that this person is lying and I actually want Nairalanders to make this issue trend so that the anomaly can be corrected. Nigeria is for everybody and not only for the rich, connected, or those from specific ethnic groups. Please help my friend share this post on twitter, Facebook, and any other platform. Things like this shouldn't be happening in a sane country.
rainmon: I work here in Jakarta. Previously my company employed many Indians and Australians, but since the pandemic many have been forced to work at home. I am a black woman, but I think Indonesians are the sweetest people on earth. I feel much safer here than in my home country.
Is there any form of religious intimidation towards non Muslims? How about womens rights?
Angrykidd: I actually have a white friend in Australia,an aboriginal. He's a music producer,I am too and he desperately wants me to migrate to Australia in 5 to 7yrs time,all expenses on him as he works and is doing fine. Dude has bought me a midi controller,sent me a phone and sends me money from time to time. We are very very close. I made a post on my other account asking for help on what to do and if my music production skill will be enough,especially if the guy builds his own studio and record label within 5yrs time,registers it as a legal corporate business and employs me or if I still need to acquire some IT skills like web and app development,graphics designing,etc, but the post wasn't moved to front page,I therefore realised asking these kinda questions here are fruitless and a complete waste of time. Instead try searching for reasonable answers on quora,Reddit,etc... Imagine some asses up there asking the op to migrate to Burundi or Mali..smh
Aboriginal Australians aren't white. Yahoo boy don dey invest on top your head and you go soon ripe for harvest
Xixtie: Your brain has little space for brain same with every other person that reasons shallowly like you. The said girlfriend didn't ruin the career he didn't even have to start with. All womanbeaters are animals and they belong to the bin, same with every apologist of theirs. Only a demented bag of lad would blame the said girlfriend for whatever woe that has befallen him and shall befall him. One by one, you people would go down.
I only came online to like this comment. Why nairaland promotes needless misogyny is beyond my reasoning.
weyreypey: Here...Slums and Homelessness of Tokyo San'ya, located in the south of Tokyo, is an area which can be referred to as the slum of Tokyo. With ⅙ of the population classified as poor, many of the population are forced out of their (tiny) houses and into the area, which is known as a place for people with mental disorders, poverty, TB and alcoholism. It is home to 25,000 people, with apx. 9,000 considered homeless. Homeless people also live in the main park, Ueno, and locals fear walking in it at night time.
Are you seriously comparing Tokyo with Abuja? Tokyo and it's surrounding metropolitan area has the highest gdp for any city in this world even higher than New York City and higher than the entire African continent. It's like someone is pounding fufu on your head
