Jobs/VacanciesRe: 9 Sad Reasons People Stay In Jobs They Don’t Like by drdams: 8:25am On Mar 18, 2018
No job. its also a constant that every1 cannot be entrepreneur. its also not about settling for the less but not everyone wants to be on forbes list.

Its our duty to set a live goal for ourself and not benchmark our progress with others. Some people wants self sufficiency, some people want more to go places and enjoy live for the fullest and some just want to be very rich and famous.

the bedrock to achieve these still remains smart work and bravery.

Bravery is quiting your job to start abiz you have passion for and have critically analyzed, bravery is quiting your job for another with more career prospect but lesser paying at that point in time....

Lol...your brain has started warming up small small. You that is not spewing nonsense what are you spewing? Tell us the factors or go and sit down somewhere. All this small boys fake island wannabe . You want to live large on ipekere salary. It's people like you that will go on social media to start begging celebrities to help you pay rent and feed after you stupidly live above your means.
your level of exposure cannot guaranty your knowledge of these factors.

you have not constructively addressed the focus of the argument ; this is typical of e-Rats like you.

This time, your approach isnt just baseless but absolutely irrelevant.

Please while you are maintaining your 250k job, continue living in your 120k Akute house whilst maintaining you daily to fro to your office in Epe.

Blah blah blah rubbish.. which island surburb are you paying 400k. You think it's by living in allows, langbasa and claiming lekki . I am sure you read my comment and say the amount I stated clearly. You don't have to live in ikorodu and work on the island. How come it's only ikorodu you know? Ogudu, gbagada , surulere, ebute Metta are not part of lagos ? Talking job hunting nonsense....all these online millionaires.
on the long run, is it your money? why not create an office for consultancy. choice of apartment is relative to someone's Cost of living, responsibilities etc. A single guy that decide to do 400k in Yaba or even the langbasa, Ajah etc has not made a bad decision if he already factored the above.

you guys just come online and spew nonsense! Spend power is a determined by some other factors and not absolutely earnings

The fact that he says he cannot afford 400k per annum for a house doesn't mean he doesn't earn well or have the money. You need to spend your money with sense. You cannot be earning 250k per month and want to rent a house of 400k . It doesnt make any sense.
1.) you live in Ikorodu and pay house rent of 100k . drive to work on the island everyday.

2.)you live in around island surburb paying rent of 400k and drive to the island being ur office

who will have more returns?

it appears some people here are still job hunting, their approach is waterly and analysis very baseless.

You must be stupid. So u expect him to pay 400k Fri. 2.5m for house only abi
you are the stu*pid fellow here.

1. the figure for GTBank especially is false. Their entry level staff earns above 2.6mill per anum when u do (mnthly take home *12), then quarterly allowance above , leave, 13th mnth, bonus taking it to excess of 3.5mil.

2. who says a 2.5mil earner cant pay 400k for rent (what if the apartment is a stone throw from his office)

3. you are ignorant enough to believe salary scale online when FIRS is everywhere. salaries are more than potrayed.

Chevening alumni in the house, please advise and share your experiences during and post-study.

5. If you have consistently grown and you coy is a stable and well known one, baba, siddon and do UNILAG masters. This is not Aussy, Canada or USA.

It depends on which stage you're at:

1. If before AOR, your points are recalculated to include your spouse
2. If after AOR, you need to raise a CSE and inform your VO as soon as you're married and they will ask for some documents for your spouse which you will have to upload
3.If after COPR, you have to return the COPR and then upload some documents for your spouse and if everything is okay, they'll issue new COPRs for you and your spouse.

For more info, check out the link below on the canadavisa forum

What I do for Stanbic money market, I simply use my GTB online platform to transfer fund to Stanbic MMF account and then print out the e-receipt. I then log into my stanbic MMF online account, and upload it as proof of payment. It has never failed me. Ensure u do this before 12pm otherwise it won't be given value that same day
ps share the account number and name and also email you send it to. let me give them the last life line ARM doing well..

InvestmentRe: Mutual Funds by drdams: 5:14pm On Jan 12, 2018
one objective is to learn as your grow in your investment adventure. I just feel spreading your tentacles accross different investment bank isnt a bad idea. The gmfact is that their rates for mutual funds are almost the same as the difference is minuscule. Now what I think distinguish one mutual fund coy from the others are (1.)service delivery (2) flexibility in payment and liquidation (3) transparency (4) customer service.

I have operated investment one , ARM and stanbic mutual funds simultaneously in the past for more that a 2 years. At some point , ARM remained the surviving general, why?
-prompt response to mail, robustness and understandability of their ibanking , ease of payment and liquidation .

I paused IoNe cos you cant see your interest accrued on a daily basis, you wait till end of the quarter . their service is superb but they are not transparent. I still run my stock broking account with them , they are making sense there.

I quitted stanbic out of bad customer service, excessiveness in automated response, bureaucracy in payment (thank God for their mbanking)- I have to start filling subscription form where I just wire my cash and send a mail with reciept for IOne and ARM.

In all, I am learning and also spreading my risk.

Again, the rates are almost the same, look for more viable reason or yardstick(s) when making your choice of fund manager.

you all should have a fantastic year 2018 !!
CelebritiesRe: Chinedu Ikedieze Pictured With George Weah, Liberian President-Elect by drdams: 9:17am On Jan 10, 2018
I dont agree with you. Reagan, Schwrazenegger and 1 of klitscko brothers , etc were actors, & sportman respectively and never performed poorly in their political adventures.

The word favouritism nevr holds here cos same people failed him 12 years ago and opted for (a) very older contestant (b) a woman - sorry feminist, we know it rarely happens in Africa. Am sure he was voted in now that they feel he has the power to carry the mantle.

#pardon my spellings for Kli... & Sch...

soberdrunk:
Electing leaders based on sentiments and Favoritism is what is hindering rapid growth and development in Africa, i have nothing against Mr George Weah but i personally reckon he will have served Liberia better as a "Sports Minister' and not "President'. Liberia has a very long way to go in terms of economic and social development and this requires someone that is very experienced and very intellectually sound and i doubt if Mr Weah is that individual...... angry

Primarily, you should have any of the following ;Money , Skills / unique abilities (even if its just good sense of humour , etc), and good looks (not necessarily being handsome) - at least at this stage of your life.

You case appears is more of no close female friends . Girl friend is still far fetched from you. Dont be distressed . Dress well, speak well, increase youf knowledge base, hang out with friends and get female contacts even if its just friendship. The more female friends and conversation held, the more confidence you gather. Asking a girl out is a 5mins conversation but how you handle the process that leads to that is what will make or mar you.

there is someone in every crowd you her that likes you , just have a good self esteem and do the aforementioned.
Car TalkRe: What Makes You Buy Your First Car(s)? by drdams: 8:38am On Jul 16, 2017
that great day when I was battered by the rain. was like a wet chicken at work ; sympathy here and there. I log on to internet banking and other places I hid my money and straight to olx, jiji , family members, colleagues for car search. In less than 2 months, I got a deal within my budget ; I spent less on tfare (pms was N85).

Considering how often and the distance you covered on the road everyday ; In my case, car was a neccessity but I ensured I dint take a loan to buy it . My goal was mobility and comfort; luxury will come when its obvious I can afford it. The car has been serving me since then. No regret.

I got a parcel of land in less than a year after purchasing a car. Its about imbibing a saving culture.

my friends who refuse to buy a car then and are ready cannot afford it or are paying through thier nose - TIME VALUE OF MONEY
