Invest your time in IT my man...Be a guru in whatever specialty you choose. Below are a few examples of good paying IT certificates. If you are good at what you do, you don't have to leave Nigeria to work in the field, trust me. Personally, I would go for AWS....

Google Certified Professional Cloud Architect (GCP)
AWS Certified Solutions Architect—Associate.
Certified Information Security Manager (CISM)
Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC)
Project Management Professional (PMP)
Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)

FellaG:
Thank you very much for your piece. I so much appreciate it. I have a business already. Infact I have two ongoing but I feel I need to have a high paying skill one which I can make a name with or get paid in dollars for, or one which I can consult for multinationals etc. I lost out on trends really, I will really appreciate if anyone can point me in that direction. Many thanks

They start calling people names when you don't agree to whatever they say. He is talking as if he wrote the constitution of the United States.

SonofLincoln:
The constitution of U S states that only Congress has the power to postpone or delay a federal election. If in doubt, Google it and stop making a fool of yourself.

Delay and leave him with his crazy policies?

My little token: If she has the potential to be a life partner, I would suggest you accommodate her. I am sure of you coping if she were to be your younger sister. Keep investing in her future while hoping she doesn't pay you back with evil.

LordNicvuitton:
I want to respectfully keep our intimacy life out of this bro, but just know that I'm her 1st definition of a true love. Most of what you typed, are positive words and i thank you. I've never stopped encouraging her. She has the potential to be a life partner (trust me, I have had experiences to know this) but the financial burden is the negative in all these.

Alot... He is correct

Pls sir, do you mind helping with pictures of your Masonia HDF full kitchens shelf? Appreciate your response excellencexx at yahoo dot com

smallsmall:
Madam, l appreciate your efforts to boost the Ministry of your husband, if all women were like you, the marriage institution wil be more stable.
Please dont relent.
If l saw your advert when l finished my house (six flats, Masonia HDF full kitchens with extensive Cupboards and lockers), l would have given it to you and your hubby but God willing, it wont be my last House.

Now, let me give you a secret. Most people here dont like to meet any seller until they are ready to patronise, even more important is that they dont like to call or chat suppliers/sellers because some of them are even outside this country and wont connect you to their Whatsapp or number.
I am talking from experience and if you doubt, l will suggest you go to that thread l listed at the bottom of this post, Read as much as you can, over there.
The thing you will observe very quickly is that the people who sell/supply the most are those who have organised their product and come up with a fair price to it..and PASTED IT ON THEIR PRODUCTS You will see pricing for almost anything connected to Building a house there.

I noticed that about two people have asked you for prices and you are asking them to connect to WhatsApp and speak with your husband!
You think those people have not seen your number or read that it has a WhatsApp? They do but they are trying to get immediate information and make an immediate decision, based ON PRICE.
75% or more of people who get such answers, wont bother anymore because there are alternatives that will give prices on their products, in the same field as yours.
A lot of people dont put their price on the product they are advertising, thinking what? I am not sure, maybe they think they can make more money if buyers dont know their price. Just maybe.

But online buyers appreciate "open sellers", especially when it comes to pricing and dont forget, l can give you a link to two other people doing Furnitures, like your husband. One of them supplied my furnitures and two of my tenants, based on my recommendation.
The thing he did was that for every product he advertises, he puts the price.
It does not change anything, if you agree and see value in it, you will contact him and arrange delivery. Its as simple as that.
Imagine if Jumia did not include prices and say buyers should contact the Sellers first, by WhatsApp?

If you dont beleive me, put price on some of your products (after doing your proper cost analysis, just a few things) as see if it generates more interest and sales, or not.
The reason l have gone to this length to explain to you is that l feel obligated to assist any woman that stands by her husband, the way you are doing. That is something we men appreciate.

You can also link your products on this thread, just dont put too much advert on it. https://www.nairaland.com/2550211/general-topic-thread-to-discuss-anything/1440

Keep up the good work and let your husband remain honest and true to hi sintegrity, the Sky is his limit.

Where are you based? I got an urgent job in Ibadan

rotecch77:
Two thing contributed to the final finishing of the plastering/rendering.

1. Level of workmanship
2. Nature of material ( sand)

1. To get well smooth surface level of workmanship determines this in most cases.

2. Nature of the sand used will determine the final look of the plaster when dry up, some plaster sand are yellowish in nature and no mater what you do the final look will still look yellowish.
Some plaster sand also are grey in nature this will looks like cement colour after it drys up even in wet form you will notice it.

Here are few pics of what I did in the past and presently

Can I have your number bro?

gbadexy:
It's always a satisfying experience supplying an old returning client as it shows confidence and satisfaction with the previous supply and painting.

Your number bro..

gbadexy:
It always gives me great joy posting pictures of returning clients other builds or that of their relatives and friends.
It shows the confidence and satisfaction of my product and services.
I'm very grateful and really appreciate the support and referrals.

Sir, Can you help me with some pictures as well? I am considering using this and I am also at this stage

valencia2012:
Affirmative!
My neighbours and many others here in Germany used it and it's so amazing. Imagine the rains doing the cleaning and washing of the exterior walls with every downpour for over 3 decades.
I'll get some clear pictures and dates of the jobs done when I pass by.

Can you forward me some pictures as well? excellencexx@yahoo.com

stanleyalpacino:
Hello Sir,

From the picture you uploaded I can see the stone brick tiles. I will upload some pictures of the stone brick tiles used in wall cladding here tomorrow.

NB: I can supply this to you. Granite and marble Inclusive.
You can contact me to quote you the best prices.

They need to be arrested for this. Pure wickedness

VickyRotex:
This is brutal!


Ever since that previous monkey thread was celebrated, I knew we'd have more of this.

Can you guys please have some decency not to show the world?

Yeah right...Prayer works but telling people to do stupid thing by gathering in large congregation because he wants their votes is plain stupid. Even the White House Infectious Disease Doctor asked people to thread softly after he made this statement.

wisino1:
This is a president that knows the efficacy of prayers and God word. and also since the election is around the corner he is banking on the large number of vote from the Christian in American to come through for him again.....God bless American...God bless Nigeria... God bless Donald Trump

Better run for your dear life. Most people are filled with hatred

studentofTruth:
I can relate to what you have just said, especially the poverty-induced envy and jealousy. Presently, I live in fears. Since the people around me leaned what I earn from my young online business. I just realized that living among lazy poor people is the most dangerous thing in this world.

I wonder how Linda Ikeji and Instablog coped in their early days.

The fact that some people live paycheck to paycheck doesn't mean everyone does. Most Nigerians in Canada and US are doing well. It is true that there is poverty in developed countries, but they do have resources that can get them out of it (Food Stamps and others). Do we have that in Nigeria? He will do better in Canada than Nigeria except he gets a political appointment and loot like the rest.

jojoseph:
listen very well and listen, take this advise from someone that spent 35years plus in U.S. I will advise you to stay put and plan you life very in Nigeria.
In about 25 to 30 years from now, your siblings will regret their actions including all those Nigerians that ran away from Nigeria.
Most Nigerians in these countries will die poor, it is not a curse, it's just the reality. 80% of Americans live from pay check to pay check. Google it. It means you're one pay check from being homeless.
The system that these white set up, is Notting but slavery system. You will serve them until you die and your children will continue to serve them until they die too.Generation over generation.
The average black man lacks capacity for deep thinking or logical thinking. We are selling ourselves into slavery and don't know it.I really feel sorry for a lot Nigerians because most of them don't know what is going on in these foreign countries.
I know about 10 of my colleagues that have passed away they die poor including a professor. It's not their fault, it's the system but most africans are ignorant of this system.
How many of the Nigeria billionaires that you know that brought their wealth from U.S. or Canada or London. None, they all made their money in Nigeria.
I'm happy i relocated back to Nigeria with my American wife and we are doing fine and we contributing our quoter to the development of Nigeria. You probably will not appreciate my advice now maybe 20 or 30years from now you will to appreciate it.

Op,
Based on your post, you do have a sure link to travel to Canada. You have been wasting your time settling down in Nigeria. You definitely would do better in an organized country as Canada, and your Professional Certificate would give you an edge over there, especially if they are in the IT field.

Do not waste time any longer.

TallNigerian:
Hello Nairalanders,

I will be 30 years in a few months and I have never felt so much unease as I do right now. I work with one of the federal parastatals and I am currently on level 10 going to 12 next year. I have a Master degree athough it is not exactly relevant to my current job.

The problem is that my organisation uses the Ministry salary structure and my monthly net is below 80k even as a level 10 staff.

I am not married and I am academically inclined. Asides having a Master degree, I have over 8 professional certifications.

I have been trying to clinch a transfer of service to a better parastatal where the remuneration is better and where my knowledge/experiences as a science graduate will be better appreciated but it has been a bit difficult.

However, just before the COVID-19 episode in Nigeria, I got the right link for a transfer of service to a better parastatal but the process got stalled with the COVID-19 palaver.

I have 4 siblings who are Canadian citizens and they have been on my neck to migrate. I never took the calls seriously until this lockdown period. My siblings are arguing about the uncertainty of the Nigerian economy post-covid and advising me to seize this opportunity to migrate and start a new career over there?

My question therefore, "is it wise to stay back since I have gone quite far in my public service career and just wait for the opportunity to transfer my service to a better paying federal parastatal OR do I migrate to Canada and start a new career?

Your honest inputs will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

@CrazyMan @1forall Please I need your help in pushing this forward for a wider view. Thank you.

It is highly efficient, but taste nasty. I have a bottle at home and I have only been able to use it 4 times with orange. It works well for your john Thomas too

NaijaRoyalty:

AK 47 and AR 15 are military grade weapons and civilians can have access to them

gideonite98:
Well to me I think most of those people are either either veterans or ex-millitary because I don't think you can have access to military grade weapons as a civilian.

But I don't care about that one,what is making me angry is someone saying civilians will face the military head on or intimidate the military if they are given guns in Nigeria.

Are you high on something?
You're comparing people they went for 6 month jungle training or 4 years in NDA and have been exposed to rigorous trainings, tactics,drills.....like mad drills,late nights and early mornings,living in bushes or barracks with daily training etc since they graduated or did P.O.P and joined the forces To someone that wakes up,eat, go to work and sleep? Because he has gun so he can face the military now?

Bro reason am nau
You think people just get guns and start running about without precision and stealth movements and positioning with tactics?

In the state of Kansas, you don't need a license to carry but there are restrictions to carry at places like hospitals, schools, libraries etc. Right to carry is a great privilege I enjoy. Permit me to say, I am a beneficiary

omoadeleye:
Lol, funny

We finally agreed to 35k after much talk and you are right, he was complaining about the stress involved

bobkezel:
I doubt if he will get a good bricklayer that will accept 30k.
They charge higher when it comes to soakaways and septic tanks cos of the stress involved. Soakaways are not like normal setting of building blocks.

Thank you for the response bro

Hargbo:
according to the dimension above, the 250block is accurate and the cost of setting 250block is around 12500..
So for the plastering and decking you can pay him 15k for that...


It should not be more than 30k at most, if he is not ready to do it, get another Bricklayer and tell him the amount you will pay him for such work

Setting of Block + plastering and casting of Slab = 30k

Don't allow anybody to rip you off o

What's the price for your Generator?

Powerexpert:
Were you there?

That is not true sir. All you get if you lose your job is the $1200 except you apply for unemployment. Some states also have benefits they offer to people who lost their jobs. $1200 is nothing when you have to pay bills and buy groceries when the kids are home. You won't imagine how much groceries people buy weekly because of this lock down. People are suffering

SoNature:
These guys should be happy they have a government that pays them $1,200 per month to cushion the effect of the lockdown. I hear they want the government to make it $1200 every 2 weeks

I can authoritatively write that Americans who lost their jobs as a result of the lockdown will have their rents paid by the government.

Indeed, these Americans do not understand the value of what they have because they are still protesting. It's a shame!

They should come to Nigeria and see the fraud we have in this country in the name of government giving out audio palliatives

True the checks are coming in but people are tired of just sitting at home. Also, the stimulus check is not enough for some people to even pay their rent yet they can't get to work.

sarrki:
I thought I will be seeing Nigeria pics

This people have started getting their stimulus checks hitting the bank through direct deposit since Saturday

They just playing politics

I am new here. He said the septic tank would use 250 blocks. I do not understand what your last sentence meant. Appreciate your response sir.

GoodFaith:
You should have learn few things here
Ask numbers of blocks to be set
Two mason to plaster should be about 3 or four services is one or one and half

Thank you sir....

bobkezel:
If you are sure he knows what he is doing then the quotation he gave you is very ok. You can still negotiate though, but he gave u a fair bill.

Please I need help. My mason is billing me 50k to set block, plaster and deck a soak-away measuring 10*8*10 and two 3*3*4. Is this price reasonable or too much? Also, how much should I be budgeting to plaster a four bedroom bungalow in and out as well as the fence.

Thanking you in advance

But the DPC can still be done without a German floor right? I gave my building to someone to manage and they didn't do any German floor

saydfact:
German Floor is the concrete after Filling

DPC/DPM is the polythene layer between them... (to stop ground water, moisture etc)

If you don't do German floor, you can't do the DPC/DPM appropriately...

like Dubemcapital1 advised - GERMAN FLOOR makes the building better.... by transferring load evenly.... (make i stop here)

This made me really emotional bro. I could feel every pain in your write-up, we never truly know what others are going through which is why we shouldn't judge. Your strong-will and discipline is one I admire. WOULD YOU MIND BEING A FRIEND? If yes, Kindly send me an email at excellencexx at yahoo dot com with your contact details. Blessing

Tankunland:
When Shola's mom called me her first question was do i know who the father of Samuel is and I replied and said yes of course it's her grand daughters dad and she said to me I'm the real father of Samuel and that her late daughter reiterated it 2 days before she died guys I went crazy again.


Why me, why me, why me was the question I was asking my self. Why is all this thing's happening to me was the question that just kept repeating itself in my head.


I went to see my boy and the connection was instant ooo just carrying him again after 6 months send shivers down my spine and now I'm just waiting for his Grandma to tell the other guy that Samuel is mine.


I have already started sending my kid small small money again for his up keep Lol even tho not much because I don't even have much now but i would do everything within my power to give this Young kid the best of life that me and his late mother my queen his mother planned for him even when I never knew he was mine.


Wow I'm done. My hands ache. Just wanna say thank you to Seun Osewa for this beautiful forum, thank you to Joe Abah for retweeting that tweet even tho it hasn't yield devident yet but thanks and thank you to those beautiful souls that saved my life with that 9k I know you remember me and I say God bless you.


and to those on the verge of suicide I tell you that you can overcome and it's not the end of the world for you and Whatever you are passing through has an end ok and I need you to realize people somewhere is passing through the same or even harder situation than you. Don't give up, don't stop praying even tho I lost my faith a lil but don't lose yours because only the almighty can do all things.


To my young sister's reading this please be contented with what your man gives to you. The course of sholas death was so painful when I heard but please my dear sister dont date a Yahoo boy for any reason or even go out with one.


I tell you Yahoo doesn't work again and what they do now is Yahoo plus and some of this guy's are heartless and don't care about anyone than just to make that fetish money amd they would use you and any other girl they find to keep that money coming.


To my Young King's reading this don't have a girlfriend in your 20s please. Use that time to develop your self. Work hard to make yourself better as getting a girlfriend would really slow you dowm from attaining that top you want to go.

And last Please if you are too weak to move on or too tired to live again and you think suicide is your escape please speak out, yes some would laugh at you and call you names but speak out as there is that one person that would listen to you.



I LOVE YOU SHOLA AND REST IN PEACE

Can i also get some pls? Do you mind sharing your contact as well?

Bmaster:
I'm short of words on the issue of shutting down markets over covid-19.

seriously, I'm still trying to figure out how thousands of peoples if not millions will manage in order to survive through.


God help us!

Your concern is quite understandable, however, would they chose to have something to eat now and possibly die tomorrow or starve today and have a sound health to hustle tomorrow?

ValCon888:
The social distancing they are observing is useless when they are all crowding at the entrance.
ADVICE!
If push comes to shove buy chloroquine and azithromycin. Don't buy one and forget the other. Buy both.
I have it on good authority a combination of both can cure the virus.

You just might need it.

...Exactly my thought. Crowding at the entrance makes the social distancing outside useless
