And who was Peter obi in the scheme of things in Anambra before he became governor?

Olawalesmarter:
Buhari will win the Election




You read it here First

globemoney:
You have now diverted to bank.. You said obi made obiano governor.. Then I asked you why he failed woefully to make obaze governor too.. He didn't even come close... Obaze came a distant third with his support

Olawalesmarter:
I say Thank You to all my IPOB brothers that will Boycott the Election in Advance. God always make Yoruba to Win, Is God not Wonderful ? , Buhari till 2023

senatordave1:
Oga,its same.even apga is strong in anambra.mind you buhari campaign manager there andy ubah is a master rigger,obi will win narrowly.obi that couldn't even win his ward for obaze.

globemoney:
Why did peter obi fail to put obaze there then? The same obi that lost his own community to obiano? saturday is almost here

globemoney:
You are on ground on nairaland

senatordave1:
If obiano couldn't get up to 500k,how will obi manage that?

Tetehjewels:
Yes it will hold but minus uncollected PVC holders whose number is very high in the SE and minus another 2 million votes in SE due to election boycott by ipobians

Valfrankie:
Don't feel so relieved. Election will hold in the East.

Yankiss:
The beautiful babes are arrogant and self conceited. Men use, pass round and dump. They are not marriageable.

EVILFOREST:
For MARRIAGE:
BETTER go for a LADY that is financially stable, yet not too beautiful than a PRETTY SERPENT that has nothing to offer beyond sit at home and SEXX.

HUNGER looms
Avoid problems, don’t expect GOD to rush to your aid when the chips are down. No be only you GOD carry for mind.
When you end up with a MISS WORLD that is redundant and lazy, few weeks after marriage, you will never see that beauty again.
She will mean nothing to you.
In fact she will be the one begging you to come and phuck.
My BROTHER, a hungry man can never satisfy a lady even if he takes a carton of viagra

Before I got married I had more than 23 LADIES around me. They surrounded me because I have always engaged myself meaningfully.
If I were stupid or LAZY, you will never find them around me.
LADIES do not invest in bad markets especially when ready for marriage.
I ended up with the wealthiest in cash, savings and reasoning with so much love to shower me, yet not as beautiful as most of them..

The 2023 Igbo Presidency will be determined by 16th Feb (less than 2 weeks time). You will know who is wise then.

It is devils alternatives for the Igbo. If you vote for Atiku and (God forbid) Atiku wins, there is no vacancy in 2023. If you still vote for Atiku and PMB wins, the South West and APC will not support Igbo Presidency in 2023.

Take this as the gospel truth, without the support of the South West, an Igbo man cannot win the Presidency - you simply don't have the numbers and you will not stop fighting yourselves (divided votes).

As unpalatable as it may sound to you, a good forward thinking political judgement will be for the Igbos to support PMB. But the Igbos are not forward thinking, they only think in the contest of "Immediacy". They are not politically flexible so they will carry on with the pain of PMB defeating GEJ (their anointed candidate) in 2015 by voting against PMB again and in 2023 nothing will change - Presidency will change hand from the North to the South West.

If you don't change your ways and actions, how do you expect a change of results (outcomes)? It is an "Impossicant" as we say in the "Kegite Society"

I am sure I will receive a lot abuses and insults for my submission, but it is the gospel truth, and it is what will happen. You can keep the write and we talk about it in 2023.

As a matter of fact, I wrote a similar write-up before the 2015 election that the Igbos were putting "all their eggs in one basket" and they will suffer badly if GEJ fail to win the election. I was abused and insulted, but we all know what happened after the 2015 election. Yet the Igbos have the audacity to complain of marginalization. How do you expect to reap where you did not sow?

The era of political savvy politicians like Zik (The Ewelle himself) and Chuba Okadigbo (the man of Timber and Calibre) are gone. Show me a rallying figure amongst the Igbo politicians that the South West support. They are just minor political loafers. Obi that would have been acceptable to the Elites of the West in 2023 has now committed political suicide by selling to Atiku. It is just unfortunate.

Anyway, 16th Feb is round the corner. As we say in Yoruba Land, "Gbangba a de'kun, kedere a be wo". Pidgin transalation - "Fowl yansh go open" for all to see.

computergeek:
Hypocrite. She's 15 and even if she was an adult, she was forced into the marriage.

Don't worry. Shey you're in support. I prophesy unto your life. May you accept it when your 26-year-old daughter tells you she wants to marry a 56-year-old man with down syndrome, since you feel it's okay for someone else's daughter.

CaptainFM1:
Rule #. Do not pump your personal money into supermarket and grocery stores...except for the building/structures alone.

Once you have your hall ready, go into contracts with suppliers...usually directly from the manufacturer/producer. Create a section/shelf for all of them and let them be supplying you. The contract will detail how and when they will be collecting their money. All you need to do is to add your little profit on every single items they supplied which should match your operating cost and expected revenue.

Any items expiring or have expired will be retrieved by them and replaced. But you don't want that to be happening to your suppliers, so you collect base on how many you can satisfactorily and comfortably sell. Another good advantage of this is that, you may not need to run around in trucks buying items in piecemeal. Just a phone call to your supplier, and they will come right delivering to you if your retails sells fast and makes quick money for them.

That's how mega stores operates. They don't go buying say....200milos, 250bournvitas, 150UAC breads et al, to stock up stores.... Depending on reputation, contract formalities may take 1 to 6months or more because both parties will want to have a level of trust and confidence in one another.

So list all the items out..., group them into: direct supply from: companies, retails and maybe just few you identify to purchase with your money just to keep the store look "filled up". Also, if you have enough free space, you rent a stand/shelf out to people selling items such as perfumes, make-ups and cosmetics. You collect rents on those. They all add up to fill the space.

The actual rule is: other peoples time, other peoples money, other peoples resources, other peoples this..., other peoples that. "Other peoples intellects"....If you can harness that too, the better. I've just giving you bit of mine now.

However, the golden rule is...."You will have to pay your fair price to other people's whatsoever"!

priceline32:
Guys, Business is tough. The risks are monumental. You are the author of your fate. Only the strong will make it in business. I am a goat farmer and we have started an agro loan business.

I will say this first. The agro loan business to me is the biggest risk i have ever taken. Even though we have safety measures, It is still very risky. I wouldn't do it if it is not for my partners.

THIS IS WHAT WORKS FOR ME. I like to build things from ground up. I like things i can feel and can multiply. I only want to go to market if i want and not because i have to. In my goat ranch, i have enough goats i can afford for now and planning to increase the herd. Goats give birth to 2 mostly and 3 sometimes. So 200 females goats can literally double in a year. so in 2yrs i can have up to plus minus 550 goats from 200 females. And in 3yrs, do the math and add their kids that can now have a kid now. I have other dealings but this is the one i think everyone can easily grasp the magic for now.

I bought a huge land where land is dirt cheap. With 4m and the right mentor, you will be on your way with this business. Many billionaires work for many years underground. If i decide not to do the business, my land will still be appreciating and i can rent it out to other people farming different thing.

Superstore business to me will break you heart really quick if you don't understand it. unfortunately a lot of people rent a shop and fill it with goods and to them, they have started business. You are joking.

We need to stop this instant gratification mentality. Every big business person you see out there paid heavy dues. Hard work plus luck does the magic.

Money is in the little things we take for granted. A lot of people would have been stinking rich if they took the advantages in their village. But they will leave their village and rush to town. People who have made it don't give up secretes like that. Information is power.

Entrepreneurship is about solving problem. Look for a problem that is affecting a lot of people, find a solution and get paid. Importing shoes from China or creating IG OR FB page to sell things is not a sustainable thing to reply on. Copying will kill you.


Advice:
1. I believe in gradual growth. No quick way to make it in business. People will deceive you, praise you even though they know you are heading the wrong way.

2. Don't do what everyone is doing. What everyone else is doing will lead you to no where. They will lie that they are making money from it meanwhile they have another means of making money. Don't ever ever follow what everyone else is doing.

3. If you have decided to do business, just know that you have decided to open your heart for beatings and heart break. As a business man, your job is to constantly seek out what works and where it works for you. You business might work in lekki but will never work in Epe. So be ready and open minded to make that sacrifice.


4. Mentor. You need a mentor. Dont just go and borrow money and start something someone told you and you heard it is working. NO NO NO. You will die of high BP. Without the right people, no body will ever succeed. You always need the right people.

ONLY TUST THE ADVICE OF SOMEONE WHO HAS SUCCEEDED IN THE BUSINESS YOUR ARE PURSUING.

peace.

zicoraads:
Most 30 year olds in Nigeria are desperate and mostly settle for any man. I've seen men manipulate ladies who are in their late 20s to 30s to the point of feeling pity for them. The promise of marriage usually removes all senses. From giving all of their savings to slaving for a man.

Girls who are younger on the other hand have so many admirers and time on their hand. [b]Most of them are stubborn. [/b]They mostly just act the way they want to act, without any care in the world.

pocohantas:
You all are confused.

Even God had to ask Adam a question twice in the garden of Eden. But I understand, y'all have two brains, one up and one down. The one down has a way of overriding the one up.

If not, I can't understand how the same men who claim they want independent women, will also want to date teenagers. Abi are teenagers now independent.

The only thing fresh about an older man is most times financial stability. Which is why they marry you and give the freshness to the younger ex-bf on the side...

pocohantas:
There is nothing that will ever please you all. I won't be surprised to see you no another thread, bashing Nigerian ladies. Calling them desperate with no ambition other than marriage. Talks of how they are always looking for a man to use as poverty alleviation, unlike their white counterparts with careers and goals. No be una again?

Confused lots.

WORDWORLD:
By societal structure ladies marry men that are older than they are. By our natural instinct a girl of 13 is way far more matured than a boy her age. Even at 13 a typical age of PUBERTY in most girls, she has already started thinking about men.

castro316:
Some others stole govt money, did biz and did not come out with anything. Its the substance in you that makes you what you become. That man dangote does not rest

castro316:
he worked under dantata his uncle who later gave him N500,000 to start his biz. Now. Look at how well he turned out

DeLaRue:
I've spent millions on my farm in the past 15 months, inluding about N2m in salary. Just paid salary again today.

Yet, total revenue to date - just N300, 000!

I should make more money this dry season, but I need to spend about N500k over the next 2 weeks to make that happen.

I'm beginning to doubt if I'll recover my investment.

The vast majority of new businesses fail. It happens every where, but in Nigeria, the likelihood of failure is extremely high.
