Dayteecom wehdone sir

1.The real question is what do u love doing and can do pretty better than any one else. ..

2. Look around ur environ theres always a need, demand and supply be the middleman.

That i'm pissed off and stranded is an understatement. ..

I've been trying to use one of my Naira MasterCard on an ATM several times now and I've also tried out several ATMs in different locations and I've even tried it at my bank's branch but I still keep getting the same error which reads "Card not Smart".

Initially, I thought I was not placing the card in the right way i.e. with the memory chip facing upwards and forward but that didn't seem to be the problem. I again thought that my card has expired but it hasn't since it's going to expire in 2018. I've also tried my other cards as well on it and those ones worked except for this particular one.

It seems that this Naira MasterCard has probably gone past its lifespan and needs a replacement. If it was no longer useful, then it means I may have to get another one a second time, and this is a card that I've barely used for 1 year and for which I was charged by my bank.

I'm not yet totally sure what happened to my Naira Mastercard but it seems that somehow the memory chip on the card is no longer readable by the ATMs and so it ends up giving the error "Card not smart".
Looking back I don't remember placing the card on any electronics device,
putting it in my wallet sitting on it,
or well taking it swimming
. .. like i told you it's the second time in two years so the customer care at my bank was sure to read me all the do's
and don't of keeping an ATM, and believe me i kept to all of em, i don't even take my Atm with me unless i really need to.

I don't know what could have caused my ATM card's memory chip to be destroyed that made it unreadable by the ATMs.
but it just seems to have worn out although I didn't see any visible signs of wear and tear on it.

I have another ATM card which I use more often but it's still working perfectly but this one that I rarely used just gave up the ghost. Are some ATM cards made with higher quality than others?

Do some banks prefer that customers just request for new cards before their existing ones reach their validity period?

I think Nigerian banks should produce smart cards that are can withstand wear or damage for as long as they remain valid e.g. 2 years.
I may now have to pay another 1000 to purchase another ATM
(i.e if the price is still the same, since the price of everything is changing these days).
I hope that one lasts for at least 1 years before getting damaged (i.e if I eventually agree to get another Atm)

. .. Contemplating closing the account sef (maybe I'd threaten them with that)

Right now i heading down to the bank to know if this is their new method of taking someone's hard earned cash, (well you might say 1000 naira is not much) but in this time of fuel scarcity, Heaven might just come down if they don't give me a good reason when I get to the bank.

A king in the Bafut region in Cameroon, is the proud heir who has inherited his father's 72 wives » and over 500 children, to add to his over 30 wives, meaning that he now has more than 100 wives and close to 700 children.
The monarch, King Fon Abumbi II, who is the traditional ruler of the town of Bafut and its adjoining areas in the Northwest Province of that country, does not feel there is anything wrong in pursuing the record set by the Biblical King Solomon » as his large family is one that is close knit and he says that he knows all of his brood by name.
King Fon Abumbi II and two of his wives Photo Credit: Mirror “During colonialism, other values came in, of governance, different from the traditional values we had and therefore there is this constant conflict between the traditional values and modern western values. My role is to blend them, to find the way forward so my subjects can enjoy the fruits of development and modernity without destroying their culture.
Without a culture, you are not a human being, you are an animal. And therefore the chieftaincy institution is the guarantor of our culture,” King Abumbi said.

Well for all those little Ronaldos from back then"

Hmm. .. Areit !

Dis julius guy reminds me of Kevin hart

This has been quite a confusing question till date, so I bring it to you. .. What do you think*

As promised the Part2 of the Topic . ..


"CREATING A BUSINESS NAME"
.

PROs
Using a business name enables
you to charge more.
.A business name makes you sound
more experienced and more dedicated
to the design work you do. Because of
that, it’s possible clients are willing to
pay higher rates than if you give off a
one-man show aura.
.

Using a business name can make
you more marketable.
.It’s a lot easier to separate your
personal life (especially online) from
your professional life when you have a
unique business name. After all, you
probably don’t want your future clients
to have access to your latest family
vacation photos when are looking for
information about your business.
.

Using a business name can make
you seem experienced.
.Using a business name makes you
seem well-established and experienced
(only if you choose a good name) so people could be more likely to
hire and trust you.
.

Using a business name allows for
growth.
.If you plan to hire employees one day,
choosing a name that can grow along
with your business is the right solution
for you.
. ..


CONs
Using a business can make it
impersonal.
.Just like using your personal name as a
business name can make your
client relationship too
personal, using a business name can
make it too impersonal. Most people
want to know they have someone (a
real person) they can rely on to answer
their questions and resolve their
concerns. If you decide to choose a
unique business name, make sure your
marketing materials boast available and
personal attention.
.

Using a business name could make
you appear more expensive.
.If potential clients feel like they are
going to have to pay for work time
plus expensive overhead costs your
fancy-pants business incurs, they are
going to be less likely to hire you.
.

Using a business can be less
memorable.
.In addition to remembering your name, your
clients will have to remember the name
of your company whenever they
receive invoices from you, write you a
check, or recommend you to other
potential clients. It could be worth it to
have them remember just one name:
yours.


Do you use your own
name to market your business
or have you come up with a business
name?
How has it helped your business?
Share?


Hope the post was Helpful?

So a lot of people fall into this delima of choosing a business name, Should it include their personal name or not, what would it say about them"
So here are some Advantages and disadvantages of either using ur personal name as a business name or different brand name"
.

This post is quite lengthy so I would split into two parts"

.
Part 1
"USING YOUR NAME AS A BUSINESS NAME"
One option that a lot of Business starters take is to use their own name
as the business name. There are clear
benefits to this approach. Some of
which include
:

PROs
Using your own name allows you to
appear affordable
Many people choose to hire someone over firm because
they know they can get a better price
most of the time. If you want to make
sure your potential clients don’t get
any mixed messaging, just stick with
your own name.

.
Using your own name makes your
company transparent and personal
People hate interacting with huge
corporations. There’s nothing more
annoying than never being able to get
a hold of the person you need to when
you need to. Using your own name as a
business name is a great way to say,
“I’m always going to be available for
whatever needs you have.”

.
Using your own name can be
memorable
You won’t ever find a client saying
“Hey, maybe we should hire whats-his-
name from John Smith Design.” If
people can remember your business
name, they can remember your name
and vice-versa.

...

CONs
Using your own name can make
you seem inexperienced
Unfortunately, some people associate
the small feel using your name can
create with inability to perform. The
truth of the matter is, anyone can work
from home and start a business call
“Jane Smith’s Company”, for all
they know, you’ve only started
for a few weeks and they are your first
real client.

.
Using your own name can make it
TOO personal
Using a business name for your
company can create an
imaginary barrier between you and
your clients. This barrier can prove
useful at 2 am when they are pacing in
their home office trying to decide
whether they should call you about a
typo on their web site or not. Maybe
you don’t want to seem that
approachable to your clients.

.
Using your own name can create
confusion in the future
If you plan to grow your business to
include other employees, using your
own name could get confusing. Not to
say it hasn’t been done effectively
before (take Ogilvy, Sam’s Club,
Smith’s, or Johnson & Johnson to name
a few).

Its called packaging, This Guy has taking his business to the next level this 2016"

So in a nutshell when u need a wife, just join . ..

Everything we want is on the other side of fear . .. My greatest fear, I know not,
Danger is real but fear a choice, everyday comes with its obstacles, but the day we become fearless
everything becomes possible ...
.....
ok don't mind me and all the talk talk . .. I doN'T really know what my fears are .

Diddyydiva:
99.9 % of Nairaland guys spend their lives revolving around ladies.

They've got nothing intelligent to come up with . I'm guessing most of them are cowards offline that can't face a lady yet they acts as bosses online.



No matter what you say about ladies , you will still end up with one.





yeye people

Easy Tigeress*

missyadorable:
For point no 1,May be true,talking from my experience.I started hating my father from age 2 or thereabout,from the period I started seeing him beat up my mother,dragging her on the ground,stripping her naked and giving her injuries right in front of me and my siblings.He is my greatest enemy till date till I die!We were not in terms till just before my wedding and I don't wish to ever talk to him again. I had lots of male friends n didn't see having a BF as necessity till I was ready to get married which I did 2 weeks ago(A decision that paid me well finally,we dated for 13 months,no heartbreak,no abortions,no STDs)due to the societal pressure to be married and respected to overcome the disrespect,bashing,insults,degrading that comes with being single,not because I love my husband.

She stays in touch wt her exes and communicates with him(them),he says she is cheating.

She allows him know her friends,the next thing,he is running another "package" with her best friend.Before she says OMG,he has engaged her bestie...

And what is the value of sex in 2016 btw 2 people who are not married? Why should she value something she prolly doing unwillingly cos of pressure from BF who also has other girl(s) he is sleeping with at random? Sex has no value! Detach ur emotions from it and Play safe.Dazzo!

Sorry bout' your past Expereince tho* hopefully you could still find a away to 4gv, your father,
This post is juat a view' someone's view actually, some of it might be true for someone and not for others* so it dosen't mean it refers to all ladies parse.

HateU2:
All na lie jare.

How do u mean? But Mind you d post dosen't refer to all ladies" tho*

Fashion officials say French designer Andre Courreges, who laid claim to the invention of the 1960s miniskirt, has died at the age of 92 . His fashion house said in a statement that Courreges died Thursday night following a 30- year battle with Parkinson's disease. . Courreges launched his fashion house in 1961. His eponymous label set the trends for such stars as Brigitte Bardot and Catherine Deneuve, who admired the designer's ground-breaking geometry, plastic miniskirts, space-age silhouettes and futuristic textiles . The house's designs returned to the Paris catwalk last year after decades away. French President Francois Hollande paid tribute in a statement that described Courreges as a "revolutionary designer'' who "made his mark on French haute couture. '' No one’s fashion legacy has been more fiercely contested than that of the French couturier André Courrèges , Courrèges’ story, however, doesn’t start or end with the miniskirt. After studying engineering and architecture, Courrèges decided his calling was fashion. He worked with the austere, modernist Spanish couturier Cristobal Balenciaga for 11 years, launching his own label in 1961. His spring/summer 1964 “Space Age” collection – of severe, structural clothing betraying his interest in architecture (“Le Corbusier is my only master,” he once said) cut in squidgy, rigid double-gaberdines – brought him instant fame and acclaim . Courrèges proposed a look that was strikingly, even aggressively bold, futuristic and unforgiving .
But it is Courrèges’ vision of the future that actually lasted. Indeed, it even became the future. “Since the Sixties, there has been nothing but retro,” Courrèges presciently commented to WWD – but frequently, that retro came from Courrèges’ originals, rehashed by generation after generation of designers. In September, the house was revived by young French designers Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant, paying homage to Courrèges’ space-age designs, and his then-innovative notion of “industrial couture” – what we call ready-to-wear. . Courrèges was, in a sense, a victim of his own success.

Egbon, If u want this topic to make front page, Edit it and make it more spacious

Done*

Unconfident, unsure, and inexperienced guys
will stay in a bad relationship for far too long
and feel like they're wrong to walk. So they stay
there until the girl does all the hard work,
makes them feel bad and thus put all the
emotional guilt on the guy. What these guys
need is assurance they're doing the right thing.
This article will confirm your suspicions,
gentleman
. ..

So in no particular Order

1.
She has issues with her father
This is a big big problem. A girl who has
problems with her father generally has a lot of
guy friends and doesn't respect boyfriends at
all branding most of them assholes. She's nice
for now but when you break up with her she'll
be carrying the emotional weight from the
break up as well as the reminder of the bad
relationship she has with her dad. Stay well
away and believe me when I say she'll turn
psycho in a split second. No, she's not
misunderstood. She's crazy.

2.
She doesn't talk with any of her
exes
You meet a sweet girl, she's so nice and you
find out her last seven boyfriends are "idiotic,
stupid, and treat women badly" - where's the
common factor here? Her. If a girl can't be civil
with any of her ex-boyfriends, unless they all hit
her (unlikely, but possible), you've got
damaged goods on your hands. What guys
ignore is that when you listen to a girl's
relationship history, you can often find out
where you'll be if the future takes a trip down
South

3.
She nags on you to call more and
make more of an effort
When you start calling more frequently,
suddenly, she's busy herself. You bring up the
same point calmly and she shouts at you. Rinse
and repeat. If she's playing that card she wants
more control. And you don't want a controlling
woman around.

4.
She's making excuses
A girl is never too busy to meet up with a guy
she likes. Ever. She'll have a slot of time
somewhere and deep down I know every girl
knows that. "Doing something else" translates
to "I've lost interest". If she's still dating you
because she likes you she'll tell you when she's
next free immediately after invitation to date. If
she doesn't and lets you know later, she's got
nothing else to do and know you're going to
help her fill her time.

5.
She started dating seriously at an
early age
She's funny, sweet and attentive. Relationships
come up and you talk about the first time you
can seriously say you were in love. She says 15
and he was...wait...twenty? Girls who date older
guys early get hurt early. They're carrying
around preconceptions all men aren't good
because of this one bad experience (To be
honest, they're not far wrong. A lot of guys are
bad in this day and age) so think about what's
going to happen to you.

6.
She tells you everything about her
exes
There's nothing you don't know about her exes.
You ask and she tells you all about them. Their
dirty little secrets, their bad habits and the
horrible things they used to do to her. Now,
hypothetically, let's say you two broke up.
Whose dirty washing is going to be aired next?
Yours. If nothing's sacred to her, once it's all
over, you won't be either

7.
She doesn't value sex
"It's just sex", she says. She's disinterested and
it seems more like a process to her than
anything else. No decent girl is used to putting
out to guys she doesn't have a connection
with. If it's purely physical to her then think
about why she's got that idea into her head.

8.
She lies
Women are absolutely great at being sociable
and will pick out untruths whenever they can
be it subtly or obviously. I sometimes say to my
flatmate what I'm having something for dinner
and change my mind six hours later - she'll pick
up on it. How the hell is she supposed to care
what I'm eating after a full day? When it comes
to interactions with people a girls memory is
subconsciously flawless. The only time it isn't is
when it's not the truth. If the same story rolls
by twice but has a major difference, keep quiet
about it. If she knows you're onto her, she'll
double check her story which puts you in a bad
position. Don't overreact and loose ends will
untie themselves. If they don't, you've got a liar
on your hands.

9.
"You left the TV on when you left.
Are you some sort of IDIOT?"
When she picks a fight over the smallest
things, something's up. If it's a problem she
can sort out easily and she gets angry about it,
it's time to leave before she comes at you with
a wine bottle. One thing to remember is that if
she's shouting at you, you don't have to shout
back

10.
You don't know any of her friends
If a girl loves you she'll show you off to her
friends; being social creatures they like to show
everybody else how great you are. You don't
know any of her friends and you've been dating
a while something's amiss. The time period
doesn't matter, so long as you don't know any
aof her friends, you're still on trial and so's she.

7 texting Rules about ladies

Business apart
1. A lady will only reply your chats if she's interested in you or the way you chat"

2.If she refuses to give you her number, you probably U need help*

3. A lady would only give you her number just to be polite and give you a chance "not to be a dic*


4. Interestingly you become a dic* thru your chats with her, (your first chat with her determines her replies in future)

5. Your every text is thoroughly screened for awkwardness, before she replies I.e if she repies
And how long she takes to do so (if it takes too long dts critical)

6. Your text could be read but still not replied"

7. Seriously ladies don't really have up to 50 contacts to reply,
If they do they don't have to literally say it,

8. Even if they do they have up to 100 "becos they are as busy as Dangote" I bet you they can still make out time for you becos you'r "interesting" but then ur not, sorry*

Ok so she "literally" set it on fire"

I like the path you've taken to develop yourself spiritually,
Personally I don't let the whole religion stuff get to my head, but dosent mean to let go of spirituality totally"

Beyond religion I think you should just strive to do what's right and seek the face of God, regardless your denomination,
I'm also a Catholic but it dosen't stop me from going to fellowship with other churches"

there are a lot of people out there we might be looking up to as religious leaders but would end up leading us astray,
at least Wisdom helps u know what's right and leave what is not*
