If you don't give up I'm sure things will get better. I've held jobs as a teacher for 12k. It didn't end there!

We are hopeful... God will bring them closer to us

Amen bro!

This group be like all those chat groups that have plenty boys and gehs, the boys are looking for gehs and the gehs aren't open to chat. All I see is driver-partners looking for cars and no vehicle owners.

There should be no excuse for fraud. Na so one guy scam me that day and na sport bet he use the money for. Typical of a lazy Nigerian youth!

Just because politicians steal does that mean other thieves should be left alone?

If you have evidence against any politician why not send them to EFCC?

Parents are getting weaker and weaker!

The economic system is making parents weaker, they work long hours and have so little to show for it, then somebody will wake up and do fraud for two weeks collect person annual salary!

kstyle2:
So sad. To curb this menace of internet fraud, I think the death penalty or life imprisonment should be introduced against the culprits. However, thorough investigation must be carried out before such judgement takes place. The same should be introduced for politicians. Detailed analysis of money spent must be reported and if any fraudulent activity is discovered, the should face the same.
Imagine replacing a governor who has just be sentenced to death for fraud. The incoming replacement would be on his toes continually

Haba mana death penalty for white collar crime, fear God!

pazienza:
Akwa Ibom vs Cross River dick measuring bickering is as stupid as Abia vs Anambra, or IMO vs Anambra bickering some impostors on NL lead.
Why fight among yourself when outsiders see you as one?

Nobody outside AkwaCross will ever agree there is any difference between both of you. Any bad thing that happens in Cross River is automatically seen as Akwa ibom issue, and vice versa.
All of you are as far as we outsiders are concerned are one "Calabar people". We don't see any difference. The difference only exist in your own imaginations.

You local beef is your cup of tea.You all need to grow up mbok!

Omo you just said my mind. They're all Calabar people as far as I'm concerned.

It’s always “I know someone”. Do am if e easy

Bro this one no be by I know someone, if you can drive long hours, 50-60k per week is achievable, it's what I do! But the downside is if you do not own your car.

Na na na ei na, song from frozen 2! Cartoony adults geng!

I am an oriented graduate and I work with a private school, teaching and being paid 15k sometimes Iook at myself and kept pondering, but its not my fault because I have been scouting for job....

Who Else is in this Category

How are you Coping, despite the Harsh Economy?

My sister is in this same shoes, there was a day I called a lady that stays with my family and she told she's job hunting, I now asked what category of job does she want, she was like anyone she can get with SSCE then she made an offside remark that even my sister with the B.ed is teaching at a school for 15k. That thing pain me ehn!

Holadpearl:
Lol. Best read on nairaland since a while.

Lagos is the only state I've been to that didn't have a "welcome to signage" .

There's no welcome to Lagos.
All you see is ... "This is Lagos"

So @op, This is Lagos....

ajeh this is so true!

Dear lagosians,

Please pardon the grammatic errors.

Being born and bred in the north, I am conditioned to a certain societal behaviour that the first time I went to Lagos, interacting and seeing the people was a bit of a cultural shock to me. I've travelled to many states in the North and few in the south and almost all seemed just about the same as home.

But the first time I visited Lagos a few years ago I had many experiences that made it seem as if was in another country entirely. I'll share a few notable ones.

Please note that I'm not looking for trouble, I'm just giving a honest opinion

It was as if everyone seemd to converse harshly over very simple transactions. One would think they know each other from somewhere.
Many people in the public seemed angry as a default mode. I wondered why.

I boarded a bus to computer village and a primary school kid later joined and was later exchanging very hot words with the conductor who was a very muscular guy over some trivial amount. I watched with interest and it got to a point where I feared for the little guy because If that conductor decided to as much as slap the small boy, there won't be much left. But somehow the conductor calmed down as if he had met a worthy opponent. That boy seemed to me as if he had super powers.

I joined another bus and a fight broke out between the conductor and a passenger. Both of whom were muscular. None would hear sorry. The fight got so bad that the both ended with broken faces and the passenger got a rock and shattered off both side mirrors of the bus. Since I intended to join night bus home, I kukuma dropped and joined okada (it was legal then) which was much more expensive but worth it. I don't know how they ended.

I noticed many young people are muscular body builders. I wonder why.

I was walking on a street at computer village and a guy started threatening and commanding me to come over. At first, I thought he was speaking to someone else when I realised there was no one around me, and he made it clear he was referring to me. Till today, I don't know what confidence made me to keep walking. That was how I escaped O.

Everyone seems to be in hell of a rush.
I even said that if rapture takes place, Lagos would not know anything had happened for two weeks.

But Behind all these seemingly negative atmosphere, I discovered that lagosians are very kind people. Always willing to help.
As a stranger, I found it difficult to find places and routes. But almost anyone you ask is very willing to show you directions. I've had instances where people left their comfort to walk me to places where they gave me directions. Very welcoming set of people to strangers I tell you.

All these mixed experiences made me say that Lagosians are Indeed a very strange people.

Many other things I've experienced at Lagos over my other subsequent visits, but Lagos has remained strange to me.

I mean no disrespect to anyone, I'm just a fellow countryman who wants to better know my country.

My question to you guys is, why is Lagos the way it is?

Is there anything I missed or misunderstood about Lagos?

Thanks

Hi sonofjos,
That's how Lagos works! The guy that called you menacingly is probably one of those gangs that extort people in broad daylight around markets such as computer village and super. You were courageous enough to walk away, many Lagos kids who are raised sheltered will fall for that con. Yes, there are people born in Lagos that are so sheltered that this kind of experience will shock them a bit.

mjay4luv:
It is well bro

Amen o!

joyfullyjoyous:
Just walked out of a relationship.
I'm Yoruba while he's esan. Experienced what I never deserved. I almost got depressed.

sorry, you're really courageous!

I doubt, we have a son tho and we've be living together for quite sometime. We had our baby when we were still so green and naive. Right now eyes have opened to our incompatibility. So I doubt!

I'm having the same dilemma as OP. Pls shed more lights here!

Mateen1000:
Buy 2 Micra Cab in Ibadan
They deliver 3-4k daily
Some drivers prefer to deliver weekly which is like 25k, which will even pay you cos it will be more convenient and accountable, Just dat I think the agreement about this Micra thing is that, after a year of Stable and Steady delivery, the cab will be his own (By that time sef, U would have made x3 of the price u bought it, he would even maintain it very well since he knows it will be his own later) NOTE:Any faults with the cab will be his problem and it wont affect ur delivery at all for that 1 year.

100k for 12months isn't times three. Micra is like 700-900k I guess!

something that is simple , start a mobile banking shop using Opay POS. Highly profitable

what's the daily projection of this business?
