GOOD DAY NIRALANDERS

I wanted to start up a POS business with my savings of N65k, but the POS man that i consulted to assist me said i would need at least N150k to start up a POS business.

I've really been hustling everyday, doing hard works (especially on bulding sites), taking pain killer drugs on daily basis..

I don't think it will be easy for me to raised my savings up to that amount 'N150k' with the type of work that i do..

I wanted to travel to the city with my ND (National Diploma) result, so i can use it to look for work, I posted it here on nairaland, but 80% of the advice i got from this forum said it will be hard to see a paying job with ND result, while some said it is not even possible. So i couldn't travel again..

Now that my savings isn't enough to start up a POS business, i'm thinking of starting up a standard akara and akamu business and probably extend the business along the run..

As someone known by his people to have went to school, is the business worth the shame?

1. Shit money no dey smell.

2. There is dignity in honest labour

3. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it.

Most importantly,

4. A good product will not sell itself. Know your market, and sell aggressively.

All the best.

PS: 65k is enough to start that POS business.
The machine is free from commercial banks.
What then is the issue?

Born2Freak:
Culture only begot law when human beings were ignorant.

Law shifts culture. In fact, we don't work on Sundays because of religious laws.

You're mixing things up

You are irredeemable.

Born2Freak:
Trash. Rubbish. Nonsense.

English culture 50 years ago
-no gay rights
-christian religion and prayer compulsory in schools
-interracial marriage frowned upon
-Bishops of church of England wielded power I'm government


Today, all of these things have changed. Culture is a bad influence on law. Things change. Logic and principles last longer.

Your childlike posture makes me smile.

The more you throw your asinine tantrums, the more you contradict your very argument.

For clarity -

Culture begets law.

Culture shifts over time.

Laws are amended accordingly.

Now go to bed.

Born2Freak:
Smh. Low IQ.

In many cultures, women are seen as lesser than men and are not allowed in many leadership positions. Should that dictate law?

Logic is universal.

Abeg. Stick to movies.

Id.iot.

Sit your pompous argumentative a.rse down and take some correction.

"Law is actually a product of culture, much like every single other social construction. Our culture defines how we perceive society and our place in it, and thus how we perceive what society “ought to be” and the rules it should follow.

I could go on endlessly, but instead I will refer you to Austin Sarat & Thomas R. Kearns excellent work Law in the Domains of Culture (University of Michigan Press, 1998). It may be a bit dated, but I find most of it still quite relevant today."

Born2Freak:
No....it is based on logic.

This is why English law has moved away from culture

Semantics.

Culture covers all aspects of life and living.

Law simply rubber stamps certain aspects of culture.

Born2Freak:
Law shouldnt be based on culture, not that there is any precedent in Nigerian cultures banning gay movies.

You are the one using emotions.


Our culture also allows a man's brother to inherit his wife, if he dies. Should we take that as law too? People like you who argue that we should respect culture, do so with bias

Law is based on culture sir.

Say something else.

It's not the other way round, simp.

Actually, the MAN shall leave his father and mother, and cleave unto his wife.

There's is something suspicious I noticed. A friend went for a bank upgrade which I accompanied him.
While he made available the documents needed, I noticed he was ask questions and one of the questions which got my attention was concerning his address.
They were interested in his address and the lady even asked "if one needs to find you, is this the address that will work?"

At the marketing room he told me he was asked the description of the building he resides in like the color, bungalow or story, gate colour

So to those who are enlightened on this, my question is why is such information needed especially the details of his residence?.
Is there a reason for this?

Regulatory requirement.

As part of Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, banks are expected to confirm your address on record by visiting.

To save themselves the stress, some marketers would rather ask you for description so they can fill the form as though they have visited the location.

Many banks however, outsource the KYC visitation to third-party companies.

Kobojunkie:
What I would recommend is you work on ways to channel that extra energy into something else. If you no get passion or work, find yourself one. If you already have a job, find other hobbies to help reroute your mind back to that of benefit and away from that which is not of benefit to your marriage and life

As for the dynamics of your relationship, if seeing a psychiatrist for professional counseling will help, please do not hesitate at all. Also, you can engage your husband in more husband and wife -ish activities, maybe with other couples, to help you begin to see him more as a partner than as a brother.

As to the love-making, maybe you can both enroll is sex therapy together as well.

I read your story and I immediately thought of another story from a couple of weeks back..https://www.nairaland.com/6744817/quarrel-because-sex#105660528

This is Nigeria, be realistic.

All she has is her spiritual leader, and your guess is as good as mine what they will tell her.

Therapist in naija? I laugh in 'judgemental and condescending professionalism".
Those ones wey dey quote Bible during sessions. lol!!!

Madam keep your vibrator close if you cannot cheat on your hubby.

What an unreasonable specimen of a man.

Hi Nairalanders,

Last year I lost my Job as an AfterSales Analyst at a multinational company called AlFuttaim in the Peak of the Covid scare in Dubai, UAE. This is when it all began, Paying my rent became a problem, feeding became a problem. At that time the frustration in the country was everywhere due to the lock down and lot of Nigerians joined some illegal activisties in the UAE.

Unlike other nations Known to me, the desperation of Nigerians is quite on the high side so most delved into Yahoo-Yahoo. So it was so rampant and obvious in Dubai then and even now.
The difficulty was much and the lockdown was highly enforced, not giving room for any means of making ends meet.
At that time I had to return to Nigeria, I stayed with my sister’s husband because he was alone during the lockdown hoping to return back to the UAE when the opportunity rises again.
I had to start up a POS business with a 50k support from a family member, but due to the location of the business which is a developing environment, customers traffic was very low, sometimes I made 400 naira daily as profit though the ironic factor was that the closest ATM for cash refill was 600naira daily.
So the business couldn’t thrive. I had to start an analytic firm just to be employed but honestly so many factors I can’t explain here hinders infant industries in Nigeria.
Now in Dubai, Nigerians already have bad names in the communities and employers weren’t willing to considering Nigerians. Though I kept applying to different organizations in Nigeria and in Dubai like wise.
I really never understood the Nigerian market also, when I got some interviews but was turned down as a result of under employment. Three organizations made this clear to me during the interview. So at that time I had to wonder if being qualified for a job is now a curse.
I have had Nigerian HRs contacting me via my LinkedIn portfolio but never landed me any Job.

Now the highlight of the frustration is that, I just got a Job at Dubai with AWRostamani another multinational as a Senior Data Analyst in the internal Audit department, and I am to be paid 9000aed which is like 1.4million naira. Two days ago made it three weeks the HR confirmed the Job as mine instructing that I go to their company’s platform to update my details where she will process my e-employment letter & Visa which I did immediately.
But I never heard from them, I sent mails informing them that I had already created my profile but yet to see an employment letter, yet no response. So on Tuesday (a day before yesterday) I had to call them and this is when the HR told me they are having difficulties processing my employment visa since I am a Nigerian and there is an on going ban on visa processes on Nigerians (aside Tourist Visas). I called some of my friends Nigerians and non-Nigerians living in Dubai to ask if they know any possible way I could go through to get this sorted out, they said it’s impossible because they are very much aware about the Nigeria situation in Dubai.

I dint know when tears began running down my eyes and my mum crying with me because she knows how bad I need a change.

Please Nairalanders, I am a data Analyst with over 5 years experience. Can you please help me with an opportunity or if you know a place I could find an opportunity.

"This guy asked me out on a date and I met him there. When we were about to leave he ordered an Uber. I didn't want to make him feel bad so I left in the Uber with him. He dropped me off at mine and left so I ordered bolt back to the where we had our date and drove my car home."

Definitely not in Lagos.

Mybrotheralso:
He's the first born out of 5 children. He's doing his PHD and has his own business. He still lives with our parents. So he does not pay for house, food or water. But can you imagine this brother of mine who makes money from his business doesn't contribute to the house for the same food he eats, when he makes money he goes to hotels and sleep over with women and prefers to train and help outsiders than bring something to the family. Recently, he had the effontry to reject my mummy's food on the ground that it was served late. I simply asked my mom to stop putting food for him.

Honestly this brother of mine has never brought joy to my parents and siblings. He has had several accidents driving carelessly, yet my mom still takes care of it all and she has even stayed over in the hospital when he had the last accident and became unconscious.

They're just the kind of brother one will have and you wished you never had a brother , my brother is exactly that kind of brother anyone will wish not to have. Not to talk of his dubious nature, you can't do simple business with him without him cheating on you. I once was rearing one animal and had to send him money for feeds but can you believe he was billing me in excess. We also contributed money to renovate our father's house and he emphatically told us he bought something which he didn't actually buy.

I wonder why God gave us this kind of brother, he has been like this since we all knew something and hasn't changed for good.
He has been sat down and talked to severally yet he will repent and still go back to his old ways .

So pathetic!

It's not your job to worry about his state of mind.

When HIS PARENTS are tired of him, they would do the needful.

Face your front.

Iyaebe:
It is quite a long story please read and advise.

It is a case of a very toxic marriage between my late aunt and her late husband, the marriage was never approved by my late aunt's mother in-law and both she and her husband were of different religion (my aunt been a christian while her husband a muslim).

They eventually went ahead with the marriage anyways and that was the beginning of her miserable life with her husband, the husband wanted to convert her to islam which she strongly object to till her untimely death. The husband who is very learned (A renowned professor) and well to do man was kind of a puppet to his mom and they both made her life miserable in ways you won't ever imagine.

My aunt never had any of her four kids (all grown up now) in her husband's house as the man will chase her out each time she's due for delivery and will only allow her back after the intervention of his colleagues, the king other notable personalities. This was the condition that surrounded her during her child bearing years, needles to talk about the trauma she always go through during pregnancies and how her husband will always blame her for allowing herself to get pregnant.

He does not eat her meals neither do they ever discuss about anything, they were like sworn enemies living together as husband and wife. He was only responsible for her children's school fees while she took care of every other thing you could think of concerning her and her children, you will never believe she's the wife of this man on seeing her and the kids never had any atom of good memories with their dad.

Her husband had a son from another woman his mom married for him. My aunt continued staying married to this man despite all the advises given to her, she was strongly against divorce as a very strong Christian that she is (An S.U). That was how she lived her miserable life until her husband unfortunately died over a brief illness, after the burial her mother in-law called to ask her what she's still doing on earth and that won't she join her late husband, she also told her to get ready to join her husband soon and exactly two months after her husband's death, my aunt mysteriously fell and died on the Altar while praying in her church, exactly two months after my aunt's mother in-law died too.

The three of them (my aunt, her husband, her mother in-law) are all late. Things started unfolding after their deaths, this man was very rich and has properties everywhere of which my aunt and her children has no knowledge of, it didn't end there, my aunt's husband used an elderly man whom he's not related to in any way as his next of kin. Now this strange man he used as his next of kin has refused to release this man's money and properties to his children, though my aunt's kids have refused to have anything to do with their father's wealth stating that their mom gave them everything they ever needed in life.

Now remember I told you about a son he had with another woman, the said son is now fully back to reclaim all their father's wealth and possessions from this man but he has refused to let go of any, he has been dragged to the king, different group of organizations but all efforts to reclaim his father's wealth and possessions from this man proved abortive. This man(my late aunt's step son) came to meet my mom to help him talk to my aunt's children to get involved so they could claim back their dad's wealth and possessions from this man but they have strongly refused to be involved.

Please what do you advise? What steps should he take to reclaim their dad's wealth and possessions from this man, remember he was unfortunately used as the next of kin.Thanks.

Read my response above and take action.

Nothing ever works by going to these monarchs. They are powerless and clueless.

Favfables:
In the absence of a will, the next inline to inherit a deadman properties is his next of kin...

And sometimes people use different names as next of kin for different stuff, for instance, when opening a bank account, I can use you as next of kin and then not use you as next or kin when I get a land(or make a business transaction)...

Their best bet is to know who the next of kin is in the individual property of the man...

That is not true sir!

Next of Kin has nothing to do with inheritance!

In the absence of a will, the family meets and appoints an Administrator (usually one of the sons) backed by a letter signed by all concerned.

The Administrator approaches the bank and submits the "Death Certificate" after which he is given the account balances of all the dead man's accounts.

The Administrator takes this info to the courts and fills all necessary documentation and is then empowered by the courts to gain access to these accounts.

The bank subsequently converts all these accounts to "Estate Account" with the Administrator as "signatory to the accounts".

The government takes 10% of whatever money is in these accounts.

As for the properties, contact a lawyer once the bank accounts are secured.

Under the law, you have become the rightful owner of whatever the man owns, with proof of documentation.

Good evening people!
There's this babe I've been seeing in the last eight months. She's so pretty, romantic and above all she's so silly satisfying on bed. But the only problem is that she throws up immediately after sex and this is so annoying. We've tried every strategy to stop it but is not working.
We're thinking of visiting the hospital but I believe I can also get some help here.
The unfortunate thing is that if this doesn't stop, then I might have to walk. Please help us if u can.... But my real question here is, Is this like an illness?

Vasovagal syncope

People with vaginas who feel nauseated after penetrative sex may experience an episode of vasovagal syncope. This could occur when your partner penetrates very deeply, hitting your cervix. Your cervix has lots of nerve endings that can trigger a vasovagal response.

A vasovagal response is when the body stimulates the vagus nerve. This results in lower heart rate and blood pressure, which can cause you to feel faint and nauseated. You can have a similar response after seeing blood or when straining to poop.

A vasovagal episode usually isn’t anything to worry about. However, if you find you have these episodes a lot during sex, you may need to ask your partner to penetrate less deeply the next time.

OP, pay that girl's bride price before you kill her.


Other causes of nausea after sex include:

dehydration
pelvic inflammatory disorder
urinary tract infection
vertigo

Please take your girl for consultations at a clinic if you really care about her.

Malignant; 3.5/4 stars

I was very excited, fingers itching, waiting to get to the end credits, come to this thread and heap praises on how Malignant is the best theatrical release this year.

All this until I got to the middle of the final act.

I don't know what happened in the writer's room, but that scene where Detective Kekoa had the opportunity of taking clear shot at Gabriel but instead decides to wake Emily/Madison shouldn't have been allowed to fly.

I mean we had the littered corpses of cops, prison staff and mayhem all round plus she was being treated as a suspect earlier: why not take the shot, kill the malignant teratoma, earn a medal, get promoted-doubt anyone would care about Madison at this point.

Or

A brute force, guns blazing kamikaze style shoot out while hunting Gabriel would have made for a much better ending.

Even though it/he escapes, a sequel opportunity is open for Warner Bros/New Line Cinema.

Barring the above, James Wan did some brilliant work here.

No unnecessary build up or dependencies on supernatural elements even though the ambience is made to feel like one.

Murder one is around the fifteen minutes mark and from there Wan dazzlingly manages the film's tone in a hybrid of Serial Killer/Slasher tropes and with the pacing of the solid horror flicks in his resume.

The gore is as real as they come: no holds barred. I literally closed my eyes during some scenes.

Who would have expected that twist? I kind of did and suspected Madison/Emily at a point. Who wouldn't, most especially after that lady fell through the attic but still Wan subverted expectations.

Frankly speaking, Malignant had all the makings of a classic but is cut short by that atrocious writing in the third act.

No be everything them dey reason with: that scene required a "Shoot first, ask questions later" approach.

Enjoy the movie and move on.

It's not a PHD dissertation.
