Roofing alone could cost more than 10M


Anyway it depends on your choice of location and building type. If it's a moderate type for you and your immediate family in a less expensive area, I think it can with even some change left for you.

Haba! 10 million just for roof? No be skyscraper op wan build na.

He is right. Dollars dating 2021 and below cease to be accepted from January 2023 so alot of people are trying to get rid of their old dollar notes. It has nothing to do with cBN policy

This is a lie, Dollars dating 2021 and below still remain legal tender. The rumour has been debunked.

Business / Re: Why Can't The CBN Just Print More Money? by Fidelismaria: 4:35pm On Sep 04, 2022
Halo22:
Nigerians are too theoretical than practical, reason we have numerous professors especially in Economics, yet they offer nothing towards economic development. What the OP asked was simple; the correlation between printing of more money and inflation rate cum price regulation and control. Now practically put, printing/minting more money and distributing it is good, even though it brings about inflation but the question is; who collects the money after printing? What is the aim of printing the money, is it for frivolities or investment to raise more profits? If Nigeria would print some cash and hand them over to good investors who in turn makes more profit for the country, I think it will boost our economic index. On the issue of price regulation and control, we can do it as a country practicing mixed economic system, but the major problem would be corruption and inefficiency of some of our governmental agencies who take up the checkmating responsibility. But then, we have to look into our consumption lifestyle as a country. You can easily checkmate prices when you are locally manufacturing commodities or when you have the necessary raw materials for production within ur reach.

PNomsule, The above should answer your question.

Also by the time you'll increase the capacity to employ more people, the country will already be too broke to afford the cost.

Also, why will I need to work in a rice producing factoring when the government just gave me 10million Naira for doing nothing?

A lot comes into play here, and Nigeria government cannot control all the factors.

So, the short answer is no, it's not impossible because our economy overly relies on imported products, raw materials etc.

Ayohbk:


As much as I commend your effort in creating this thread and furnishing it with information but I'm sad, angry and disturbed with you following the trend of demonizing your fellow countrymen.

Let me start with the first point of not relating to black guys because they are jealous or blahblah. I will reply to this from my own POV

When I came to Germany 3 years ago, there was a large group of Nigerians who joined the Uni that same time. There was limited knowledge on how to navigate studies and get good jobs. I can remember my second week in Germany, about 5 of us ran into a Ghanaian guy who was in the uni earlier than us and he gave us orientation on how things goes. He was like forget hustle jobs, try to focus on studies squarely and get a proper office job. Then we met a Nigerian who told us to find a hustle Job asap and ride along with studies. We met another person who told us that it's really difficult to find a job, and study is hard here blah blah. Everyone speaks from their experience and their scope of knowledge then it is left to you to know which one works best for you and you can use. Out of the 3 scenarios advised above, none of them really worked for me but I picked something from all the 3 people and many other people and I can say I am in a better place than I can imagine. Personally, I do not believe anyone is jealous or doesn't want you to progress, some might just be frustrated and they project their failures on you unknowingly. It's up to you to process the kind of information you receive. Never dismiss anyone or their experience because they are black or whatever. Believe me I had a 4 hr heated argument with a guy that i came to Germany with on the same plane. He argued that it's not possible for a black guy to get a proper technical job in Germany and I argued otherwise. After that heated argument we literally stopped being friends. But his points always remained at the back of my mind for over a year and it made me scared of applying for jobs so I never applied. I was only doing hustle jobs, until another Nigerian friend got a technical job and he also encouraged me to do same. With input from friends including Nigerians, I improved my skills and my CV, one month after applying I got 4 offers after 100s of rejections. 3 months while working on the part time student job, I got 3 offers for a full time job. I started my full-time job in a multinational company while still studying and also changing my visa status.Also note that till now, my german is not good but the jobs I got are in English.
Points to pick out from this story:
1. The guys that gave us orientation, never told us of the possibility of getting a full-time job while studying. Maybe if they had tild us most of us could have gotten full-time jobs without the whole school stress if anyone is not interested in studying. This is not because they are jealous of us. But they only gave orientation based on their experiences and also rules are being changed constantly.
After getting my full time job, the other Nigerian that encouraged me to apply for technical jobs also got a full time job too, he started today. This was made possible by us making further research and also information shared within ourselves.
2. The other guy I had the heated argument with, did not make his point based on jealousy or whatever, but based on experience and also the difficult situation he found himself.
3. There was also a "common belief" that you can't get a good job in Germany without knowledge of German. This is true in some cases, there are some rejections I got and I asked them why, they tell me they need someone with fluent german. if i pass this information to someone else and he takes it as a rule. Then he meets someone that got a job without German, then he will say i don't want his progress. In my situation, the first student job I got in the advert they stated they needed someone with good german. I just applied randomly expecting a rejection. I got called for interview, everything was in English and i got the job. When I was working there, they told me that they need more people but they were not getting applications. I told them it was because the advert was in German and also they stated they needed someone with good german which discourages foreigners to apply cos I also almost didn't apply. Then they told me the company only recently started adopting English as working language. They asked me to help them rewrite the advert in English and also recommend people.




I've met Germans who are surprised that I got a full-time job while studying. There was even a german who once kinda implied to my Indian friend that he shouldn't ask for a certain range if salary during interview. Guess what, my friend negotiated for over 10k higher and I also even got higher that the range he stated �. Does that mean he's jealous, No, he was only speaking based on experience.

Now, when I meet newcomers, I always tell them just keep applying and improving your skills. Send like 10 applications per day. It doesn't mean I'm a better person or whatever. I only gave that advice based on experience.

To finish my point, make friends with anyone you meet, relate with and have similar goals and drive regardless of their color. Believe me, the familiarity and brotherly joy, I get when amongst black people most especially Nigerians you can't replicate. Make friends with someone does not mean trust them completely or take their words as Bible. It's everyman for himself everywhere.
No matter how hard you try, you can never fit in completely in a Group of friends filled with white people and also you can almost never have a German best friend. Most of them already formed their cliques or best friends since their high school days. It's probably easier for a black person born here or in their teens or early 20s. If you are beyond this age group, you'll have to be your own best friend. Everywhere you go just try to be the best version of yourself, smile, relate with people regardless of their color, share and get information you need, go home and sleep. Rinse and repeat everyday.

Don't loose yourself trying to fit in a white society. Don't demonize your people.




Well said! Tiri gbosa for you sir! Gbosa! Gbosa! Gbosa!
