organicSkin: Whenever I tell people my story they seem to not believe me. I opened nairaland account while I was in the university (obafemi awolowo university). I had just started selling organic ingredients mostly sheabutter and cocoa butter and then when people ask for more stuff I would order it from lagos to Ife where I was schoolingand sell to them
On this day I saw a friend of mine who was really glowing and thought it was makeup. So I complimented her looks and told her I liked her makeup that morning . She responded that she wasn't on makeup. Didn't believe her so had to touch her face. I was like why was she glowing differently , she said it's probably cos she is well rested.
Later on that day I kept staring and admiring her and we got talking. It was then that she revealed the secret to her glow which was cream and soap from starbeautyworld.
Asked if the starbeautyworld products she was using was shipped from abroad she said NO.
Asked her if she could give me some of the products, she was like why don't I buy mine. That I should go to the website.
Long story short, I bought only oil that I could afford and after saving my allowance and selling some sheabutters and other organic ingredients I was able to buy more products to make a complete package.
I kept buying and people were complementing me. To be honest with you. I enjoyed the attention I got.
It was so bad that I didn't know where the idea struck me, whenever people ask me what I use, I tell them I sell skincare products and when they say they want to buy I tell them my price which is slightly higher than the price I get from starbeautyworld and remove her label and sell with paper tape label.
After a while, I did my own stickers.
I tried getting from naraglow another skincare vendor since she was cheaper but I noticed the people I sold it to rained curses on me. So obviously naraglow was a bad idea.
I went back to shopping from starbeautyworld and then during Christmas I received a call request from a number stating they would like to thank me personally for my patronage.
I told them it was okay for them to call and on 26th December, the owner of starbeautyworld called, her name is Chioma and wished me compliments of the season .
For some weird reason the call duration took longer because I was tring to sweet talk her to consider me for special discounts apart from the once in a blue moon sale they normally have. That was when she mentioned that I was already part of the exclusive buyer reserve(EBR) team and she won't be able to give more discounts.
I told her I wasn't aware of that and it was my first time of hearing it and she was like she is sure I was part of the team cos she was only reaching out personally to those who are in the EBR team .
I insisted I didn't understand what she meant and she went further to explain to me that I should check my inbox or spam folder for mail from them
Long story short, 3 weeks after the call , I stumbled on the mail while trying to register for CISCO certification and in my mind I was like oh this was the email this lady was talking about.
Followed the instructions in the email and on the site page I shocked to see that on October I automatically had an account created for me on the exclusive buyer reserve team and had 142,355 naira in the account.
At first I thought it was just points but then I decided to ask so made enquiries and I was told if I wanted to withdraw the money I could as long as it was above 25,000 naira or I could use it to purchase products on the website.
Still in doubt , I wanted to test if it was true or not, so I asked how I could withdraw it. I was told to fill in my bank information on my account , send an email request for withdrawal and the 3rd party company will fund it.
Without wasting much time I did and in 48 hrs I received a credit alert of exactly 142,355 naira.
I was the happiest final year computer engineering student � .
Then I began to ask questions as to how I got the amount and found out that for each product I bought from the website consistently for 4 months that was worth 35,000 naira and above I had a share of 20%
The crazy part was i wasn't even buying these products for myself, hence it was obvious that this bonus was targeted at loyal customers.
Fast forward to few weeks later,
Went home for short break and people who had not seen me for a while were admiring my skin glow, trust me this time around I did not hesitate to let them know that I sell products.
Long story short, I had nothing less than 50 people from school and home whom I was selling products with my own label to.
The bonus increased to 35% as a result of increase in my purchase from the website
While I was making profits selling to the big girls in school and my mum's friend and relatives at home , I was also getting bonuses .
Life was sweet!!!
Oh by this time I already dumped selling ingredients � , used some of the profit I made to pay someone to do my project.
By the time I was done with school , I was a big girl. Withdrew my first million ever in 6 months after the first and only withdrawal I had made intially. The exact amount was 1,805,045 naira.
Went for service a big girl paid to be posted to Lagos . Paid to be exempted from camp. Got more clients from CDS and just 2 months after service, I relocated to Canada.
Found out it was difficult for Nigerians here in Canada to get the right products for their skin , got more clients and as usual ordered from the website and have it shipped over to me.
Got a job in an IT firm here while still receiving bonuses from purchase from the website as side hustle without stress.
Then just before COVID happened I lost my job cos the company packed up. And to be honest with you I didn't really feel it cos my side hustle was more than enough to get me going, the only problem was I wasn't sending as much money back to Nigeria to my people cos the bonus from the website was my only means of survival which was way better than nothing and very much sustainable to start my hair business here in Canada.
So yeah, that's my story and I thought to share this with someone.
Don't know if this is the right platform.
There are silent ways people make money don't let the noise makers fools you.
GladGlad: U.S. Surgeon General, Jerome Adams has resigned from his position at the request of President Joe Biden.
Adams, 46, was nominated by former President Donald Trump and sworn into the job in September 2017
In a lengthy post on Facebook, Adams wrote:
Thank you for the opportunity to serve this great Nation, as this has been the honor of my life. Three years and five months ago, I was confirmed as just the 20th United States Surgeon General - and only the second ever African American male to serve in that role.
My tenure started with three category 5 hurricanes barreling down on our citizens. I immediately deployed to witness the devastation first hand, and to lead our Public Health Service Officers as we helped with the response. I saw the best of our Nation coming together in the worse of times, to help those who’d lost everything.
I then turned my attention to the opioid epidemic, encouraging more people to carry Naloxone by issuing the first Surgeon General’s advisory in over a decade. Working across government and with amazing advocacy organizations on the ground- many led by parents who had lost their own children to opioid overdose- we were able to increase Naloxone availability nationwide by over 400%, and save countless lives. This is perhaps my proudest achievement, as my family has been personally impacted my substance misuse, and I firmly believe stigma remains one of our biggest killers and barriers to health
Being a parent of school-age children myself, I saw the need to issue subsequent advisories warning of the dangers of youth e-cigarette and youth marijuana use- a combination which merged into the deadly EVALI outbreak our Nation faced. Despite any opinions about adult use of these products, I hope Americans can agree that we must all work together to prevent youth initiation and use.
In 2019, I issued the first Surgeon Generals report in over 30 years on smoking cessation, highlighting the groups still most impacted by smoking, and the science behind what we know works to help them quit. We have made tremendous progress, but far too many- including those with mental health issues, our tribal citizens, and the LGBTQ community, haven’t shared equally in cessation successes.
And of course, there was COVID19. In the face of a once in a century pandemic, I sought to communicate the rapidly evolving science on this deadly adversary, and arm people with the knowledge and tools they needed to stay safe. I wasn’t always right- because no one was, and this virus continues to humble all of us- but I was always sincere in my efforts to speak to everyday Americans, and address the terrible health inequities this virus exposed.
My team also put out historic Surgeon General’s Calls to Action on Hypertension Control, Maternal Health, and Suicide Prevention. We did this because even in midst of a deadly pandemic, hundreds of thousands of people are killed by these other health risks every year. For example, more people died from uncontrolled high blood pressure in 2020 than from Covid-19. We mustn’t forget about all the other harms Americans face every day, or the many opportunities we have to improve health, and build more resilient communities. And we mustn’t forget that diseases and health risks rarely impact all communities equally. That's why these Calls to Action specifically mention the groups disparately impacted, and talk about the need to study and address aggravating factors like bias.

sacajawea: A friend who is a Tailor went to a Senator's house to do a Job, Fashion design/Sewing Jobs. All while he was there he never actually met the senator but one of the Assistants or House Managers. Now this is the Gist of the matter, in this Senator's house there were plenty Cars and the boot/trunk part of the Vehicles went down showing that there was heavy load in them, almost all of them or if not all were like that. When they wanted to pay them at the end of the Job, the Assistant told them to follow him. They went to where the cars were parked then the assistant opened one vehicle it was filled with fresh US dollar notes, he quickly Closed it, wrong Car. He now went to another one opened it, this one's boot was filled with naira notes. He picked up a few bundles, gave them and said something like "That should cover your balance" then closed it immediately.
So Older and more experienced men of this section pls let this make sense to me Please. If you hoard dollars I understand, but why naira? Why keep naira in large quantities like that in Car boots to the point that the back part of the car is going down cos of too much naira load in it. Is it that being a Senator gives one so much Money to the Point thag they can have so much billions excess of it in Raw cash at home? Broskis abeg make una put matter
For easy movements... they can't keep such in their bank to avoid been indicted.
IntersexSherry: She is such a beauty to behold. Too bad bullies in school couldn't see her feminine beauty back then. Her name is Emmanuella David ette, she was raised up as a boy, back then she was a very feminine boy and was bullied seriously in the university she attended until her feminine features started surfacing revealing her true feminine beauty.. She ran tests on herself to find out she has two ovaries inside of her even though she has only male organ. She is currently is the voice of many intersex people in Nigeria as she tries to create awareness on this issues to avoid others like her to pass through all she went through in her college years .. She lives as a woman today and an extremely beautiful one . She is the goddess of water. Why do you think my pics are not so clear and i cover my face? I'm not yet out officially like this people. Taking my time until i come out officialy then you will see high definition pics of me.
so far keep learning. Many of them do come out after perfecting themselves to avoid bullying from ignorant Nigerian public but you see how strong i am, still imperfect but still here in this phobic country educating and lecturing you all and some have the guts to abuse me for my courage . Well intersex is beautiful
uptimumOne23: During his procession, I saw generals cried. The COAS wept. His death rocked the Presidency. He defined patriotism.
May his soul continue to rest in peace. Amen.
'In your words, we will win'.
@Op, May God keep and protect you and fellow gallant soldiers out there... May the souls of the departed rest in peace. I pray this whole insurgency comes to an end soon. We need you all alive.
delpee: @OP May God bless you for this deep insight into the war with BH. May God guide, protect and bless you all as you strive to keep us safe. May your family never weep over you. You'll come back victorious to God's glory.
I'm forever proud of our military men. Ever gallant and devoted. We may have some bad eggs but that never takes the shine off the majority.
I do remember Lt Col. Abu Ali in particular. A selfless, diligent officer who was highly respected by the soldiers in his team especially. May Allah grant him aljanah firdaus.
May the souls of other departed soldiers rest in peace. May God heal the wounded both body and soul. Depression will not come your way.

eglobalcafe: Hello good people please I need your suggestions please, my wife has issues with hormonal imbalance and we have been treating it for the past 6 months now and the doctor keeps giving my wife wrong injection, the wrong injection my wife noticed this few weeks ago and we told another doctor in UNITED STATES and he said the current injection my wife is taking has nothing to do with hormonal imbalance that we should sue the hospital for this and we are paying huge amounts of money for this please what is your suggestion please. I have never sue any one before and we are planing on getting enough evidence without them knowing so please doctors and good people here please help me. Even after my own research from Google I noticed the injection is wrong injection and the injection has nothing to do with pregnancy.
Ensure you file a case against both the hospital and the doctor lest the doctor resigns and escapes before being summoned to court.
