As my NYSC was drawing to a close, the headmistress of the school I was serving told me she had talked to the ministry of education supervisors and they have agreed to take me as a staff of the school.

I was like wow!

I asked madam, how much us the salary, she said 10k. I said madam, I mean the pay at the end of the month, she said is 10k not enough for you? That's what they pay us o.

Na do I tell am say make I go show my parents my certificate first. I will come back and start work.

She went to tell the students that I will be coming back to teach them.

They've been waiting for me since 2013.

Is it this cheap, I did Ekiti to Lagos with 6k on my Highlander (V6 3.0L though), and I did 4k on same trip for my Yaris (1.5L).
Is it possible that corolla is more economical than Yaris?

There are lots of factors to consider before making such assertions. The fuel you bought is a major factor. In Nigeria, I have come to know that some times you buy fuel that burns faster than others.

You also consider the tyre pressure, the amount of load you carried, the number of people in the cars, the effectiveness of your car catalyst, your driving style, the temperature of the day you took the trips.

A lot others. If you watch pre-race preparations in all these car races, you will understand all these am saying

3rd mainland is even abit safer... as at two years ago though.. I dont know if those RRS are still positioned there. My car had broken down twice 1am and 3am.. it was a flat tire and the car was an LR... first thing I did was to take my shirt off.. and switch my accent to abgbero own..

The boys were even the one who helped me that night... remove and go helped me pump the tire.. because my extra was flat too unknown to me.. all I did was sit down... and gave them drink and gist about life with them. Lol after about 1hr plus.. I was done. Settle them and left....

Second time was my 4runner fan belt... I was close to ikoyi bridge and 3am... the RRS on the bridge stop there patrol for me to watch over the car till morning... while I took uber home. The boys came though.. hailing and stuff... just gave them change and left... the police guys were very nice.. they reluctantly collected the thank you money I offered.

So I think with the RRS team on the 3rd mainland bridge things will be a lot safer.. and I think it's high time Lagos install CCTV . Things will be a better.

Ah, alaye confirmed.

One guy said his tyre went flat just before adeniji end of 3MB, as he brought out the spare to fix, those boys came out demanding 'land money'. That's how he ended up driving away, without his spare tyre, jack, wheel spanner and caution sign.

He was lucky he had not removed the flat tyre before they came out.

As per the RRS, they just pack their cars on third mainland bridge but they're not there. You can only find then under adeniji bridge and at Iyanoworo bus stop.

This guy no even mention Akpongbon-eko bridge or the popular third mainland bridge.

If at night, your car breaks down on 3MB or at Akpongbon, guy just hold your tithe or leave the cat there and find the nearest police van (who may still obtain you sha)

Like seriously, metallic ladder to work with electricity? It must be true that who the gods want to kill, they first make mad.

How do you climb an electric light pole with a metallic ladder?

Thus country don tire person self

Please let the judge be a woman abeg.

This is what boys has been clamouring for since na. They should also probe Edo university too.

They should probe his entire stay at Osadebe Close. That guy needs to visit oko

Then what about military planes?

princeSammyz:
And they had to snap the pix showing everybody's face... The NPF is coming for them

The police won't do anything. They can't tell me they were not aware there would be reprisal attack. This is Benin people we're talking about. They don't let things like that go just like that. Even if it takes them ten years, they will still kill somebody

gulfer:
They are legit, go for it guy, all the best

How does this quotation make it legit? Can you see how many times the word potential was used in this write up without telling you exactly what they do?

I even checked their address, there's nothing like Isaac Johnson street in Lagos.

We only have Isaac John. One in Ikeja, one in Shomolu.

I remember when as a corps member in Enugu state, a masquerade blocked our path and said the they must flog the female corper because she wore trousers and any female who wears trousers must not be seen by the masquerade.

We almost fought that day until the masquerade said corper you de vex o. Turns out they were our students

Even the corp Marshal knows this directive won't work because most of the unregistered tricycles and bikes don't move on federal roads where road safety officials are posted.

This directive would be best carried out by the state VIOs or police. Not FRSC officials who are not posted to state roads

Morning. My aunt bought a brand new Honda city back in 2008. Till last week, there has never been any case to open the engine for once.
Last week, I notice engine oil on the top sides of the engine cover and the mechanic said its the oil seal, which I gave him money to buy.

So I was with him when he opened the engine cover and the sludge build up was massive. He advised me to buy an engine flush so we can flush the sludge out but I should hold on till Tue next service.

I went online and read how this works, the after effect on the car and I decided not to door it again. My question now, is there any other way if getting this sludge out without using chemicals because I understand that using the hot oil method may not necessarily clear it properly.

Godmother:
I had a shop few years ago but had to close it down due to the stress of owning a shop in Lagos.

There are just too many levies associated with owning a shop and if you aren't careful, you'd be working for these people.

Then I used to pay the following:

Shop Rent = 8,000 monthly (for two shops)
NEPA BILL = 2,000 - 5,0000 monthly
SHOP Permit =5,000 yearly
Lawma = 300 - 500 monthly
Security = 2,000 monthly
Reconnection= 300 for whenever the light was disconnected.
Transport = 5,000 monthly
Feeding Nil as I always brought food from home

Total = 18,000 to 23,000 monthly

Which means I needed to make at least 18,000 monthly to not be running at a loss. Whatever else I made was then my profit.

At the end, I did a rethink and felt owning a shop was slavery and not just worth it in this part of the country.

Please share your own experience owning a shop in Lagos.

What area is this so I can come and take over the shop if you don't mind.

TheTrueSeeker2:
In 2019?

What happened to online application?

I can imagine the heap of papers this university wants to accumulate

Free paper for suya sellers for the next one year.

I stopped Applying for all these universities When I went to drop my application in FUPRE back in 2013. They just opened a room and asked everyone to throw throw their envelopes there. The big room was almost filled with brown envelopes.

Juliusmalema:

Wesporting:

Thought I was alone

You're looking for a police officer, why not release his picture so the public will take care justice for you if truly you're looking for him to face justice.

seanwilliam:

This has to be the most stupid thing I've read on Nairaland for a long time. Mr. Rashidi lives in Sango-Ota, f*cks his daughters and police went undercover to deceive themselves that they're working while some spiritualists have price list, could have been a short version of the this crap.

Why do we like celebrating nonsense in this country?
