I recently landed a new job in Marina.

I've never been to lagos and I have a week to resume. I need to scout for where I can get affordable houses to rent that is close to marina. I do not like waking up around 3am just to beat traffic.

My budget is 200 - 300k

I hear mainland has cheaper houses but have no idea where to start looking for, places where I won't have traffic issues.

Island would have been preferable but high costs are a hindrance.

I'd like your suggestions. Thank you.

Congratulations on your new job. You just need to be careful with Lagos house agents because it seems they're more than the available house itself. You should be able to get a single room around iyanaoworo or ketu with that your budget which you can endure for a while.

With the bolded up there I can see that you're a joker!! Is getting married a success in life?? You better think about making your life better by moving abroad instead of this Una Africa mentality about marriage

But success is all about running after or pursuing money through lifetime? I am sorry to say ure in the category of young Nigerians that need proper orientation about life mission. Some of them are into yahoo yahoo here pursuing money without purpose while the few educated are pursuing japa without direction. Early raising of children (if ure not a papa) is worthwhile for those who understand the purpose of marriage. Although it is meaningless to those who believes they can just pick a white girl to impregnate in order to get a foreign citizenship. Before you tell me something about poverty, it only exist in your mind or imagination.

Does the book contains step by step methods of production or just introduction to business ideas?

nnamdi640:
You forgot that they receive allowances something most people in private sector don't get. I earn more than them monthly, but with their allowances, I think they are still better than some in private sector, beside their work is stress free

It's just about 10% of them that do these. You have forgotten that they're also plenty small and there is competition. They're not living fine o, that is the truth and most of them don't have entrepreneurship mindset, only book book and book

27 lawmakers will lose their seats?.dey play.you people should stop playing this losing type of politics,fubara is naked with all his commissioners resigning and with over 2/3 of the members of rivers assembly against him.it looks to you that wike is staggering abi?,e go shock una.only those that believed obi will win the last election can believe fubara will defeat wike on this one.out of hypocrisy,some people will just be swimming against the tide.politics is different from business administration.

Ure right on the comparism of Obi supporters with Fubara sympathizers. It goes to tell you we still have people left in this country who still have good morals to stand for what is "just and right". I wonder why any right thinking person will believe wike is doing right thing. It is because of pple like you that Nigeria is backward like this. Imagine urself in the position of Fubara, you don't carry any weight before state house of assembly, and ur cabinet member too are taking instructions from slave master in Abuja and ure just a figure head. When they clear treasury finish, it is ur name that newspaper will carry and who knows who's coming next to hunt you with EFCC. Everyone can't sell his soul for money and live without basic life principle

This is reason military needs to hijack power from the useless politicians. Imagine countries like Chad, Niger and Cameroun have database to check immigrants into their countries at borders but such is not available in Nigeria they're calling giant of Africa. It's a shame

OlawaleBammie:
After bn a graduate without any source of income, then I decided to learn a trade at 28..lol, I was ridiculed, starved, used to beg for #50 but I became a millionaire at 29..

Thank God for the good and bad old days.

Wonderful. I have also seen a close pal who graduated with distinction in agricultural engineering in a poly and went ahead to learn plumbing skills. In less than a year after finishing apprenticeship, he also became a millionaire and he can't take job of 300k salary today because his hands are full of jobs. There are other skills too like coil rewinding that pays big time but our mind has just been conditioned that we can't do it again since we're already graduates. God will direct the path of individual

No insult meant, This alone says a lot why your life is the way it is. You live life as it comes.

Where’s your passport?

I misplaced it. I declared it missing and the British Government replaced it, but it went missing again. I went back for the passport and I was told that I was careless with the British property and that it wouldn’t be replaced for me.

You think say na by ordinary eye he dey lose British passport? Him village people dey pursue am no be small.

Vision101:
Can you now see that the problem is not a particular regime but those that find themselves close to the corridors of power.

Bring PDP, APC, APGA, LP, Zenith....it is the same. Let it be Obasanjo, yaradua, Jonathan, buhari, tinubu, Peter Obi, atiku etc it's still the same. You can only find just a little difference.

You gerrit. Nigeria problem is Nigerian in nature. What's happening at federal government level is a summary of what's happening across every sector of life in Nigeria. Corruption in house of God is massive nowadays. Nobody wants to do right thing again and we're expecting miracle to happen.

Macphenson:
Police or Civil.defence should handle this issue not the DSS.

The country is not spending the billions on that agency for all these mundane issues that even a local vigilantee can handle and prosecute the culprit.

There are serious security issues in the country that needs the attention of the DSS.

That's how APC has bastardized that agency. It all started when PDP started using them to show force and intimidate voters during few days to elections and now APC has "reclone" their destiny now. What a shame for a whole DSS to be arresting man involved in rape matter!

I asked God for job breakthrough and I have changed jobs on three occasions between March and now. The testimony is that my current salary is 6X of my salary in the beginning of the year. Glory be to God in the highest.

Glory be to God but pay NPOWER beneficiaries their dues. Afterall, you have uncovered the money budgeted for them by Buhari regime in the hand of a consultant.
Don't even think you can chop that money with your cronies in emilokan cabinet because the beneficiaries will lose hell on you soon.

duduade:
Help me ask them what they went to do in Dubai

Be following their godfather upandan

Abi oo. That sanwoolu or wetin they call am na most useless governor that has even happened to Lagos state. He no longer stays in office since his godfather was sworn in. Things keep falling apart in Lagos, no government presence or touch in any critical sector, yet you won't see him in town to face the business he campaigned to do but be following his master upanddown.

‘I was treated like a piece of used material’- Vincent Enyeama opens up on why he blocked the national team

At a point you also started displaying arrogance especially with the way you reacted to issues between the team and NFF despite being the captain(leader) at that time and this was unusual of you when you started ur career with national team. In one way or the other, National Team has helped some of you at one point of your career and I can only plead with you and others to come and save this team on passion basis because the politicians won't allow you to chop better wey belong to the team.

Acekidc4:
People should give Tinubu time, he will surely perform and do wonders. You all will thank him later. Things are really bad, we all know but it won't be for long.

Give him time till them die finish?

Rostikol:
YOU ARE TALKING RUBBISH.

HOW MANY RICH POLITICIANS ARE THERE IN NIGERIA?

ARE THEY EVEN UP TO 2,000?

YOU PEOPLE LACK STATISTICAL SENSE.

THIS COUNTRY OF 220 MILLION PEOPLE IS FILLED WITH TENS OF MILLIONS OF PROSPEROUS PEOPLE.

99% OF THEM ARE NOT POLITICIANS AND HAVE NO CONNECTION TO POLITICIANS.

FACT.

SO ANYONE THAT SAYS “POLITICS IS THE ONLY PROFITABLE BUSINESS IN NIGERIA” IS AN ILLITERATE TALKING RUBBISH.

Since you have fact of your information, bring out your source of fact here about 99% wealthy ones without political connection. You're only typing according to your level of knowledge. Those who understand how things work in Nigeria will know what Afe Babalola said. Take your time to avail yourself of necessary information and knowledge before commenting on issues on public forum.
Afe is a man that has romanced with political bigwigs in this country for a long time and he sees what you don't see beyond his nose.

Rostikol:
Nigerians and careless statements.

So all the millions of mansions and exotic cars across the country are owned by politicians. No business people, no professionals. Just politicians.

A legal mind of his stature making such a careless remark is unbecoming.

What is careless in what he said? If anti-graft agencies in Nigeria are as potent as they should, majority of those who you're referring to would be cooling their feet behind bars and lose the properties ure seeing that were illegally acquired due to affiliation to politicians or made through illegal political connection. Dangote is their father/role model, you will tell us he is not a politician but we know how it goes. Nigerians are their own problems because they lack the basic education Afe Babalola was referring to.

mu2sa2:
One thing you can't take away from Major Hamza Al- Mustapha is his courage and absolute loyalty to his boss and country . The great general Abacha owed a lot to al-mustapha's bravery. All those who plotted to have the amiable general assassinated had their plans thwarted by Al-mustapha & his boys and met their waterloo. Abacha is resting in peace now as God pleases. A patriot to the core, abacha did his best for the country especially his prudent management of the economy- check out naira-dollar exchange rate during his time and now. If appointed as being rumoured let's hope that Al- Mustapha will continue to serve the country with the same patriotic fervour as he did under the tutelage of the quintessential general. May God continue to bless our dear native land of Nigeria and decimate her detractors.

Someone that nation's treasury he looted is still being recovered after two decades that he died is sleeping well? U must be a joker! Nigeria can't be great above the reasoning of her citizens

KillIgbohoN0W:
Hehe
Obviously you're an undergrad or you never been in a big firm before.


350k salary does not come with paid accommodation anywhere. HMO & office car (Corolla), maybe.

The firms that can afford paid accommodation pay more than 350k salary for such staff.

I disagree with you sir. I know of an indigenous construction company that gives someone 230k net salary and gave him official residence in an estate in Abuja and company car to move around with family HMO package. It depends on your negotiation before taking the job

Keneeby:
You're very myopic in your reasoning. Let those foreign products compete with our local products in the market. This is the best policy in Tinubu administration.

Don't mind them bro, they're part of those who were benefiting from monopoly created by buhari in last 8yrs. They went to deceive the cow that economy would improve when they ban foreign goods and he bought their idea since he too no dey reason well. Whereas their greed is more than that of politicians, they will be creating monopoly here thru their useless association and one will wonder how locally made product can be higher in price than the one that travels down all the way from Asia. We're the enemies of ourselves in this country

Kukutente23:
How's it a good policy
You're turning out to be an APC apologist
You suggested cutting corporate taxes to improve jobs and industrial outputs
Yet you're praising a govt who is opening the flood gates of importation which will kill local industries

What impact has the ban on foreign items done to Nigeria in the past 8yrs? For your information, Nigeria is very large market for both foreign and good local products to sell. Average Nigerian business man is very greedy and he needs competition to stop monopoly.

Maksol:
A mechanical Engineer is a graduate of mechanical engineering from the University and he cant be addressed as an engineer until he is registered with the Nigeria Society of Engineers and also COREN certified.

Thanks for enlighten them. Everything has turned upside down in this country. Tho employers who are accusing graduates of incompetence are also ignorant of how to address the skill personnel they need

There is no KARMA. Evil people prevail, even their generations still excel.

Good .we won't tolerate any form of ritualistic skull mining religion in Kwara state

Ilorin is already a den and home of fathers of ritualists doing rituals for yahoo guys. If u know, u know

livebyday:
You will never see Christianity or Christian countries like Rome do this. No.

It is to be scamming their members they know.

Those who are doing it was are not doing it for the sake of God. There's always a hidden agenda.

Napata77:
AND THE US GOT RICH BY ENSLAVING AFRICANS AND INVADING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY 98% OF NATIONS ON EARTH TO STEAL THEIR RESOURCES.

IT IS A LOT EASIER TO “MANAGE” a 7.6 TRILLION DOLLAR ANNUAL BUDGET THAN A 40 BILLION DOLLAR BUDGET OF NIGERIA.

YOU MUST ALWAYS STUDY THE HISTORY OF THE PEOPLE YOU WORSHIP, SO YOU CAN STOP FEELING INFERIOR TO THEM.

Bros every good country created prosperity for their nations. If US are like us too they will equally be struggling to gather even $50b for annual budget as we are doing too (year of independence is less important in this case) because we have asian tiger countries that got independence the same period with Nigeria. Nigeria should also created wealth and prosperity for herself so that we can be having annual budget as high as trillion dollars. We should all take responsibility that we have failed as a country and retrace our steps for betterment of children not yet born

Chikeluba25:
What are they taking in return?

God bless you for your reasoning. There's no free launch even in freetown. This is all they do to establish their religion fanatism in foreign land but the ignorant will be hailing them whereas those in government that brought them in understand the game.
