YEeeeeeepaaaa!!!! I saw this post late, oga you wan put your neck for hole? Think twice o. The owner is one so called pastor. pls don't believe every thing he says, you can't take the man for his word. If you are paid regularly till July you are lucky but know that he will not pay kobo in August, if he gives you accommodation don't take it even if you take it look for another one. But my best warning is the integrity of the man is low. Let me know how your interview went before I will speak further.

Chin a's Boyfriends for Hire
How to Survive the Chinese New Year

By Clarissa Sebag-Montefiore

China’s largest online marketplace, Taobao, offers everything from inflatable donkeys to live mice to breast implants. And now fake boyfriends are available for purchase, too.

Men offer their companionship for as little as 1,000 yuan ($160) to as much as 10,000 yuan ($1,599) a day—and even charge extra for romantic activities such as handholding, going to the cinema together, cuddles, or joint Internet surfing (yes, even that).

But the “rent-a-boyfriends” aren’t really for lonely hearts. More commonly, women, usually in their late twenties and up, hire them to put on an act for their parents—a novel way for them to stave off marriage pressure.

This week marks the Chinese New Year—when that pressure reaches a boiling point. As millions of rural-to-urban migrants return home to celebrate China’s most important holiday, legions of unmarried women will be lectured by extended family about their singlehood. Enter the burgeoning rent-a-boyfriend industry.

Although the exact number of renters is hard to come by, and it is still considered a last resort, there is certainly rising interest in the industry. Online searches for the term “rental boyfriend” rose by 884 percent between 2012 and 2013, according to Taobao. Although there are also girlfriends for rent, a quick look online shows that the majority of people advertising themselves as fake partners are male.

This imbalance may seem surprising given that in China, cultural preference for boys has skewed the birthrate. At its peak in 2004, 121.2 boys were born to every 100 girls. That figure dropped slightly in 2013 to 117.6. Still, it is estimated that there will be a surplus of up to 30 million young men in China by 2020. Most of these bachelors, however, live in the impoverished countryside. In major cities, it is often the women struggling to find a match (and it is urban women who can afford to rent boyfriends).

Hypergamy, the expectation in China that women should “marry up” financially and in status, has left many of the country’s most educated, successful professional women without a mate. According to the Brookings-Tsinghua Center for Public Policy in Beijing, in urban areas there are an estimated seven million unmarried women between the ages of 25 and 34. Around seven percent of college-aged women remain single until they are 45. Some have struggled to find love; others have chosen to delay marriage for their careers. Either way, if unmarried by the age of 27, they are dubbed sheng nu—literally “leftover women.” (The prefix sheng is derived from the same word used for “leftover food” and reflects the disdain with which this nickname is used.)

There is, however, a small grace period for these sheng nu. Initially, they are considered “holy warriors,” with some fight left to find a husband. But if they are still single by the age of 31, they become “a leftover as high as heaven”—considered by many to be too old to marry.

To avoid this fate, pressure for girls to marry starts early. In 2012, best-selling writer Wang Hailing, author of Divorce with Chinese Characteristics, relayed stories on her microblog about pushy mothers. In one account, a single girl said to her mother, “What’s the rush? I’m only 23.” The mother replied in turn: “Only? If you’re a boy you can claim ‘only,’ for girls it’s ‘already’!”

“One of my friends tried a variety of ways to persuade her daughter to go on a blind date,” Wang wrote in another post. “Nagging her/going on about the importance for girls to get married in their ‘valuable’ age. If they don’t take their chance now, then they will either be leftovers, or on sale!”


Leta Hong Fincher, author of Leftover Women: The Resurgence of Gender Inequality in China, recalls interviewing one woman whose mother refused to talk to her—going so far as to reject her daughter’s phone calls—until she found herself a boyfriend. Fincher sees this behavior

BusinessRe: I Want To Learn Hardcover Project Binding by excellent2013(m): 1:10pm On Mar 08, 2016
I know that the printers around will not be willing to teach you. But I will show you how you can get to know it if you are willing to make the sacrifice. Since you are not close to me, we will have to talk one on one. Are you a student? After training you, i will show you how to get the materials for binding cheaper than those guys around you. If you are close to a higher institution, you can make up to 200k in a month during the time of project if you are hardworking. My training MAY not be without cost because of your distance. Let's talk when you are ready

Where are you located? If you are close to Lagos I can teach you and you will become an expert. If you are a student you will never ask even your parent for money. I will comment more when i know your location

Tnx @ everyone. i was so busy this weekend. i went 2 d church 2 see the md\pastor bt was prevented from seing him. i met the church council of elders to lay the complain, they promised to look into it. i gave them till month end or else i will do what they don't expect. i heard they will reopen the company this week. i've told my br6ther to leave, they promised to pay when they resume work. the md is to blame bc he was d one that employed d manager that ran the place aground. he was told to sack her as far back as october bt he refused. my own is that the money MUST BE PAID.

CrazyMan:
The closure of the company simply means that they're in some kind of debt. Unpaid loans, mismanagement...etc.

I'm sorry about your brother's case, if he can have a face-to-face meeting with the MD of the company, he may just be lucky since he (the MD) is a pastor.

But if the company is truly cash strapped, then his 100k has gone down the drain. He will never be paid.
Agreed they have problems, but the md said he is going to reopen next month.moreover they have equipments like 50 sachet water machine, im considering seizing one until he is paid
