CareerRe: We Earn More Than Bank Workers –FCT Cab Drivers by devonpaul(m): 3:00pm On May 04, 2016
RollingFellas:
I disagree with you. What do you understand by career? And what does career growth means to you? Agreed every businessmen experiences ups and down in business. When does a business makes sense?...lol...Do you know that career growth to you may mean something else to another person? When the cab driver confesses that he makes a lot of money than an average banker, he makes a lot of sense. Those major transporters that churn out millions monthly, don't they have 'career' growth? Transportation industry thrives, despite its risky terrain. The man that owns fleet of cabs and makes average of 500k monthly even has a registered cab company. Banks are always eager to dish out loans to him and he also has staffs he pays.

Its high time our youths begin to change personal orientation about this white collar job thing.....and also, business and investments are pensionable. If you doubt it, please speak with pension fund managers....
Agreed! I never mentioned anything about white collar been d IN thing, I was only pointing out to you that for d fact that Business is moving does not mean dats a Career growth. Business might be moving and career is redundant and stagnant. And about transportation issh, u are right. I was just correcting the nairalander that started dz our Sub Thread dat Transportation and Logistics is one of d hottest in the game presently and someone who is a cab driver can actually build a very comprehensive Career from such. Cheers

I disagree with you. I know of a taxi driver who started with one car and now controls fleets of taxi in Abuja. The guy makes over 500k per month on his fleets of taxi alone. Its about being focused and determined.

You also forgot that the banker can be sacked at anytime......
I feel u bro but that's not a career growth sha, it's just a business making sense. I call it ' Business Boom Era' every business men experiences this and there is the Doom Era too.

Such hasty generalization.

5000x22 working days equals 110,000.

Assuming he works everyday, 5000x30 = 150,000.


Meanwhile for permanent staff, Diamond bank pays 247k, Access bank pays 230, Gtbank pays 209k, Stanbic pays 180k.

With a bank job, there's career growth. But as a cab driver, there's little growth as most of them remain in one spot until they are old and can no longer see in the dark.
There's always a career growth in any sector. Left for u to be visionary to see dis moves.. A certification or postgraduate qualification in transportation and logistics is a very hot career which will make sense for an official cab driver 'that is visionary tho" but most of dem are always blindfolded by the ecstasy and fantasy of making daily money so they remain at 1 spot for a long time. And again I think they are referring to the majority of the Bank workforce which is a freaking contract base agreement which I think they are right. How many people have a permanent position in the bank, we all know they not many

PoliticsRe: Governor Ugwuanyi Weeps As Fulani Herdsmen Ravage Community by devonpaul(m): 5:46pm On Apr 26, 2016
Condolences to the lost and injured ones but i think Crying and shedding tears accompanied by a 2days fasting is a showplay to the gallery. I mean, how can fulani herdsmen be disturbing a whole state, Enugu state is bigger than Ghana and Togo together, 2 countries. Since we all have left the situation for Buhari to fix, we will wait until he hass enough time which apparently its not even a luxury for the president now. I mean, what's dz Governors problem.. A governor has all d paramilitary in his state but choose to shed tears and declare a 2day fasting instead. Instead of organizing a search and arrest and bringing d culprits to book but No, there is too much water for baba eyes, na cry remain. Lmaoo, Nah men, dats some patience Jonathan shiii... Fulani men attacks a whole Enugu state and d governor shed tears.. I think this is a very teribble and hilarious caption and headline. Lol, Go hard or Go home son. Nigeria is a jungle, its kingdom suffereth violence, only d violent survives.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Has It Gotten To This Extent In The Country??? by devonpaul(m): 9:47pm On Apr 09, 2016
I see no reason why any Engineering graduates or architecture should complain of lack of job in Nigeria. Your hurdles through school did not prepare you for a suit and tie, dats where una dey wear blue labcoat wey be like technicians clothe upandan. Graduate of electrical electronics in portharcourt. Goto Choba or UST side and paste banners everywhere for anybody dat needs electrical technicians, if u start with a customer, u can charge 500naira. B4 u know it, onto d next 1, 2 3and so on. B4 u know, u get a small shop and u are already chilling but most of Nigeria graduates only want something dat gives money for d now cos all ur friends are driving pencil Camry from dia esusu help me salary package .. Truth is the possibility of gettin jobs via online ad is 5.0002% and not to even talk of places like portharcourt where it is more difficult. Start a technical artisanship and create jobs for other engineering graduates coming after u. Even if u no sabi practical aspect, walk to any artisan in ur field, they will assist u if you are humble enuff to ask
Jobs/VacanciesRe: How Much Will It Cost To Set Up D.J Business? by devonpaul(m): 8:04am On Apr 09, 2016
4C2215131:
Assuming you've gone through the above, here is a conservative cost:

1. LAPTOP
Whether you use turntables, controllers or media players you need the laptop to act as a repository for your songs and also DJ software.120-150k ( I recommend a brand new one).

Why so costly? It's all about the specs. Some DJ Software can be CPU tasking and RAM consuming. You need at least a dual-core running at about 1-7ghz speed and above and at least 2gig Ram coupled with at least a 500HD. Now note that you can use a fairly used system of say 50k but make sure it meets the above standards. The Ram is extremely important especially if you want to go into video mixing. Virtual DJ is not a CPU tasking software (mostly) hence a lot of old laptops can handle it. But note that the sound chip matters also. Old laptops can't give you the kind of sound that modern laptops will.

If you're strapped for cash, go the computer village and get a fairly used modern laptop for the price mentioned above, at most you'd add say 20-30k.

2. CD DECK OR CONTROLLER
You can get some cheap and decent CD decks for about 60-80k a piece. Seeing you'll be needing two that makes it 120-160k. This price depends on the features of the deck (There are decks that go fo as high as 250k for one). I suggest you get a controller which is cheaper as it is a combination of two decks and a mixer hence saving you the price of a mixer.

3. MIXER
You can cop an entry level mixer for say 25k (with a controller, this is eliminated though I recommend you get one)

4.POWER AMPLIFIER

You can get a cheap one for 75k (I don't recommend you scrimp here as this is the powerhouse of the whole set up, if it is not up to par, your career is over before it's started.

5. SPEAKERS
You can cop one depending on the size for 50k (a single driver i.e woofer) and 80-100k (dual drivers). This is anothe extremely important piece of the puzzle. If you get it wrong, bye-bye to DJ Jimmy Jatt status!

6.SOFTWARE
200 Naira (150 if you price well)

7. WIRES, CONNECTS AND MISCELLANEOUS
Just budget about 10k.

8. WIRELESS MICROPHONE
Get one for about 18-25k

9. DJ COFFIN OR BOX OR WHATEVER NAME YOU WANNA CALL IT
Budget at your level[b] 50k[/b] tops.

So there you go. Note that I refrained from mentioning names of products and explaining certain terms as I assume you know the meaning of those terms (didn't even use jargons as such). If you need me to suggest some product names let me know. Also note that the above estimates are just guides, the market price fluctuates like what we are seeing now with the Naira value going to the dogs but suffice it to say that the mentioned prices will get you going.
You have said it all.. For a student starter level, if u av like 300k.. U can get a numark mixtrack or denon double deck for 100k max. Fairly used tho. I started wt a numark mixtrack pro 2 and i bought it on jumia for 60k then but am sure it'll be about double now. Ur laptops too is essential, u don't want to be delivering joy thru music and along d line bam.. Laptop crashed. O pari.. I'll suggest u cop a 2nd hand apple laptop for cheapey. 100 to 150maybe.. Speakers: just get smaller ones because as u gets popular d more, ull be force to keep buying better speakers then microphone. Go and meet electrician, they can get u some old rugged mic for 10k tops. Dazzall.. Then u can buy wires, plugs, etc but 1st thing to ask ursef, Are u really interested in this DJ job, do u av passion for satisfying people wt difft musical genre? If dat is a No. Other bizniz dey for students like invest 50k into learning web designing and in 3- 5 months u are designing websites or blogs already. HTML CSS or j query. All d best

Lol.. Guy u won't understand. This Buhari's government has failed. Can't wait for 2019 to come.
Most people admitted into 4yrs course only start building GP at 200 or 300L. 100L is a year of putting too many things in place.
If u think a president of a nation as big as Nigeria has failed after 10months of a 4year tenure then you are probably shallow in thinking, needs a psychological re evaluation or u don't even believe in the government in d first place. The wailing wailers will continue to wail forever and the changing changers will continue to change goal post but the true nation builder will continue to build the nation.

PoliticsThe Situation Of Social Media: Good Or Bad by devonpaul(op): 12:15pm On Apr 03, 2016
Few days ago, there was a circulation on the internet about Her excellency first Lady aisha buhari sending the wife of d deputy president Dolapo osinbajo to pay a visit to the displaced agatu villagers with relief materials of about 5bags of rice and some few relief materials which generated heated concersation and argument between of course the as usual culprit. PDP vs APC loyalist.
Recently, I stumbled upon the actual pictures of the relief materials taken to the displaced agatu villagers and asides the shock I fell into, I begin to wonder what this social media ills would cause if not nipped in d bud quickly.
People are passing misleading information's on the internet just to affect how some people thinks. It's getting so much out of hand now that almost 99% of whatever I see on social media is just another display of horrendous stupidity to me.
Some real pictures of the relief material are below for your viewing pleasure.
We might have to consider the Social Media Bill at a point. Social media is getting out of hand.
