The world economy wasn't built to support 8 billion people and technology has really reduced the number of hands needed to do any job. You are a marine engineer. In the olden days see how many engineers were needed to man a vessel now due to technology we need at most 4 and currently research is going on to build completely unmanned vessels so the number will reduce from 4 to maybe 1. Technology is erasing a lot of jobs. The world isn't meant to be as populated as it is currently. Third world dwellers in Africa go feel am pass oyinbo. Birth rates in western countries have dropped astronomically but the average in Africa is still 5 per woman. Asia has a lot of population but mind you the bulk of the world's manufacturing is done in Asia and such large scale industrialization will always provide jobs at scale nothing like such in Africa and Africans are birthing like fools.

Your kids have already been born. You cant unborn them. No one knew Nigeria will get to this level as of even 2014. My own is those who see how Nigeria is and are giving birth and having kids even on low income and no secured job. Its satanic and evil.

Hnnm.. what do i know. in all honesty, i am really really confused.. i graduated in engineering which was said to be markatable. civil, yes it was but ordinary bricklayer is been called an engineer, mansons, architects, surveyours, mechanics and carpenters because government no regulate anything.
they said no white colar job, agree, lear a skill, i learnt graphics design and posters, i learn how to trouble shoot electrical cables and connections, i am a story writer. my books are on amazon one year plus no sell. the only job i got as a designer was last month and it was free though i was able to get 3k. i designed a logo 3days ago but she complaine shes broke so i say she should do offerings with it. now they say sell yourself, i am wondering what else is left, the last interview i had was in a bank as a cashier where she asked me what skills i have and i mentioned that i can fix little electrical faults. she laughed like i was stupid and i wonder if thats wrong.
when they say sell yourself, i just hope i wont have to put for sale on my head. because many may not be able to afford an ugly boy like me

Go to any UBA branch and tell the CC you want to open a dom advantage Account. If the CC rep asks of referees, tell him you are opting for savings domiciliary. Most of those CC reps are like robot, they mostly ask for those requirements by default.

When I wanted to open my dom acc, I visited the UBA website and found the Dom Advantage which requires no referees. However, on getting to a UBA branch, the first thing the CC rep asked for were the referees despite telling him the type of dom acc I wanted to open.

As I explained that I saw it on their website, he called another colleague who affirmed and help me to open it with just national Id, Nepa bill and a deposit of $10.

It is the acc I now use to withdraw my fund in dollar from payoneer.

Peter Obi will not even win in south east. I wonder why a man will choose to labour in vain. It’s like a man with orchitis asking to participate in a race competition, is that not juju �

I saw a thread where a Nairalander CcAblemed talked about about being depressed about how his wrong upbringing by his parents have brought depression on him daily.
I was surprised when I saw that thread because I thought I was alone.Infact I almost cursed the day I was given birth to because I feel less of a human.I can't socialize,I feel shy to express myself to people.My parents are not even financially bouyant.My education stopped at secondary School. I luckily got employed as a cleaner only to get bullied and I have to leave the job.If you have never experienced first class poverty, you don't know what God has done for you. I begin to ask my self a lot of questions I can't answer because am of good character.I lost hope one day and almost committed sucide.My took a turn when I ran away from home. I was getting calls from everyone, but I ignoed I slept under a popular Lagos bridge for the first time in my life.I had no place to go but I don't want to go back home.To cut the story short,A guy helped me secure a job at a nylon factory .I saved up most my salary and that guy accommodated me.I am a computer Engineer. Ask me how. I left the factory Last 2 years and I was able save 1.2m Naira from my salary with some little change.I saved for Good give years!
I eat like a church rat and with my friend's support.I decided to learn computer Engineering from my money but the man seeing my condition help me learn for free.
Now I own my computer Engineering firm and I am an astrologist as well,Am living comfortably on my own now.I got in touch with my mum when I I started learning computer Engineering.I learnt my dad left her after I left.I hate my dad right now but there is nothing I can do about it.He remains my dad either I like it or not.
My point now is you have to leave that shell you have been for years.You have to stand for your self and buckle up with life.Bring your self confidence to existence.Rebuild yourself now or you remain that way for life

the women working for pwan, adron and co are all balling, while the men are still poor. why

Zonefree:
Famished SIMP!

People dey price the rice 13K, you no gree sell am. As soon as you see kpekus neighbor, you decided to sell for 11k. Woman wrapper!

You think selling cheaper to her will get you access to the smelly kpekus

Money you no see
Kpekus you no see
Sense you no get.

Hunger go finish you. I wish your employer will delay your salary.

ChngedChnges:
What area of farming are you into?

Pavore9:
Going into value addition like @alakara stated is a safer option for one who is not on ground. From personal experience while working in several rural communities while in Nigeria, there are so much harvests left to waste.

One could go into processing and packaging for both the local and export market.

I am living abroad and have 2 farms in Nigeria.
You will lose money, they will not execute the work to plan but on the long run it is better to start while you are away.

I did not make profit so far but I now have assets that I can call my own. I bought 100 acres of land for my 2nd farm, that money would have long gone if not that I put it into the land. I now have tractors and other implements for farming. I would not have been able to acquire any of these if I have not started while still abroad.

Most importantly, I have learnt a lot. You learn everyday so the earlier you start the earlier you can learn.

In terms of people, using my relatives to manage my farms has turned out better than using the so called consultants.

You end up teaching the consultants what to do while they scheme on how to fleece you or use pictures of your farm to get more clients that they can fleece.

My advice, if you have a business you can do abroad, do that, if you don't have the time to run a business abroad then get a relative to run your farm in Nigeria, but don't hand it over to him, guide and coach him frequently.

Favibe16:
Of course you can sue them in Nigeria, and in any jurisdiction they do business or have assets. You probably have a 100% chance of getting judgment in your favor. The problem is after you get judgment, what next? They probably don't have attachable assets lying around anywhere in the world. It is not like suing ExxonMobil.
On the same topic, I read on another thread that bank employees are facing termination for steering peeps to MMM. If you can actually prove that a bank employee, at the premises of the bank, advised you to invest in MMM, then you might possibly have a colorable claim against the bank under the vicarious liability doctrine. I know this is a long shot considering the primitive state of tort laws in Nigeria, but then it is in actual litigation of grievances that the law evolves. A class action lawsuit here might actually serve a beneficial purpose of furthering consumer protection.

Favibe16:
Well, I am abroad and has farm (Livestock and Plantain) in Nigeria. We have been going for about 18 months now, and I have to be honest and say that the experience has been far from what I thought. But, of course with every business, there is a learning curve, so I do not regret the experience the past 18 months and I am actually motivated to push forward. Frankly, I believe what I have learnt about the business is definitely worth whatever I could have lost due to poor management or dishonest employees. A lot of people will advice that you don't start because people cannot be honest in your absence. However they refuse to look at it from the perspective that when you are abroad, you are mostly likely working and making much more money than you are losing at your farm in Nigeria either due to poor management or dishonest employees. For example, I make at least 3mm naira every month (using 450 naira per dollar), my manager and employees will need to be highway robbers to defraud me of even half of that in any given month. So what is better?
Of course some will advise you to keep your money until you are ready to come back and setup, but everyone knows it is not easy to just keep money like that. And more importantly in staring even while you are still away, you learn some very valuable lessons. You learn that theories hardly translate into practice; you learn what people to trust or not, you learn some production and management; you find out what works and what doesn't; you learn about other aspects of the farming value chain you never even thought about (for example, dabbling into poultry has thought me about the opportunities in both farming and storing grains).
My advice to you is there is no better teacher than experience. The best time to go in is actually when you are still abroad and still able to make the money to help replace the losses due to the inevitable learning curve. You should focus more on constructing and expanding your facilities such as buildings and machinery and less on production. Trust me no matter how fraudulent a poultry manager is, he will most likely not sell your pen houses or your feed mill or your tractors, etc.
So seriously, give it a try if you have a passion for farming.

I can't believe that the Queen went to Ijebu Ode and return with her head intact.

I'm frustrated, I've been applying for jobs and all but nothing is coming forth. I stay in Abuja and can do anything. I have an experience as a tutor, farm manager and research assistant.

Boss, please put me through .





Hello fellow...whilst you are job hunting why not start earning online with the little animal production and agriculture you have experience on?....The online community (internet space) is a viable place to earn with whatever knowledge you have aquired even if it's $5 daily.
