You can do all together with time and dedication. Don't rush it . Please go to school. That shouldn't be compromised . You don't have to be the best in your class or anything , just go to school acquire knowledge and make lots of contacts. Walk with likeminds like yourself and you will achieve more . One of the Best thing out of school is the people you will meet.

If you have a laptop and active Internet, your learnings with be easier.

Barbing could be a side hustle.
Don't be greedy, don't compare yourself with others. Be contented.

Doing all these together makes you an HUSTLER. This is king of HUSTLING we are talking about, not some shady,fraud or drug dealings.

You are still young . You have plenty time. I sincerely respect your hustle man. It is a motivation to other youths. Please keep it up and you will see how far you will go.


Don't be greedy, don't compare yourself with others ,live withing your means, Go legit!

I commented on a thread yesterday that was about how much that can last someone through the week, I posted that I can manage 3k for a week and I was literary dragged and trolled through the thread. Some accused me of lying while some said I still live with my parents, others saw my post as a scheme to accrue favour from people.

I never wanted to open a thread about this, but as God would have it, he blessed me ( Not from that thread) through Nairaland best roofer and known philanthropist @ money121 and @despian that sent me something to help with my school project. I managed to squeeze out a little money and branch to the market to get some food stuffs. Below is a detail of how I spent 3k on food stuffs that would last me a week.

Rice 1 mudu(8 cups) : #600
Beans 1 mudu(8 cups) : #900
Potato : #500
1/2 bottle of palm oil : #400( I add just enough to colour the food)
1 packet of maggi : #250
Powder pepper :#100
Onions :#100
Airtime :#100
Total :#2950
The remaining #50 is for Chelsea match later in the evening.

While I didn't make this post to glorify poverty but it seems some people are oblivious to the situation of things in the country at the moment. Apparently the hardship levels is skewed, based on the values that people were quoting on that thread. While some food stuffs are at a premium at the moment, there are some of us that cut our suit according to our ankara.

Next is how I manage the foodstuff to last me a week in no particular order.

Day one: Rice and beans
Day two: beans and potatoes
Day three: only Rice
Day four: porridge potatoes
Day five : only beans
Day six: Rice and beans
Day seven: potatoes and oil
Fortunately the stomach does not disclose its contents.

I iterate through the list during the week, I spend only #100 on airtime during the week. I don't call any body and spend #25 daily for 250 mb night sub which I use to apply for jobs. I wait for the following week when it gets exhausted.
I use salt as makeshift paste and patronize Hausa black soap for bathing.
I've my faze cap to conceal my overgrown hair, though my lord luggard esque moustache have a way of bringing my legs outside.
I fetch well water, boil and sieve it, in that way home made Eva water is set, who knows I might own a pure water factory in future so I'm practicing now.

Added plus: My Girlfriend
It's a popular opinion on nairaland and the country in general that most Nigerian girls are useless and are out to bring nothing but misfortune and misery to our lives. I beg to disagree because the ones around me (mom, siblings and gf) are anything but useless.

My current girlfriend is a frugal spender and taught me how to spend prudently. She taught me how to cook thereby cutting the amount I spend on food to a significant level. I can give her just #1500 and she would prepare two pots of stew and soup to last me a week. Like my Oga @chatinet would say there are still women that can go to the market with 3k and come back with two nylons.

While other nairalanders open thread open threads about their parasitic girlfriends, mine is actually helping me through a difficult phase in my life.
Sadly despite my pitiful standard of living, I still have people that I'm better than and see me as a senior man. Its that bad.

I'm not comfortable with my condition so I'm looking for jobs so as to improve my standard of living. My fellow nairalanders help me to start eating with meat by offering my any job available. I'm a graduate of Statistics/Computer Science (bsc ed) and a web developer.

So the doubting Thomas's here's a breakdown of my 3k weekly spending.

Modified: Obviously some people are still doubting my credibility. I stay in north bank, Makurdi Benue State for those asking.

Nice one.. bossman. Send me a message.

Nebraska (2013). Re watched again and it was as good as when it first came house. A sad Movie in a funny way. The old man really showed his son Shege. A movie about a man who "won" a lottery ticket and told his son to drive him to the state he had won the ticket . Father and son adventure as they have pit stops at places they knew. A lovely drama . It is a 2013 movie shot in black and white. If you like witty dialogues with little or no action, this is for you. 7.5/10

Storyline as seen on IMBD:
"NEBRASKA" is a father-and-son road trip, from Billings, Montana to Lincoln, Nebraska that gets waylaid at a small town in central Nebraska, where the father grew up and has scores to settle. Told with deadpan humor and a unique visual style, it's ultimately the story of a son trying to get through to a father he doesn't understand.—Anonymous

So that they can say he is working . OGA tell your boys to stop harassing people and demanding bribe everywhere.
Fix the police station. Police station looks like a morgue .

Penthouse

Couldn't it be a penthouse that the exterior was just made to look like that?

You should first always confirm where and how things happen before we comment. This could be a bandit hideout

Biafrarep:
Sure, they will certainly export international standard products to UK. After all, same China that ships inferior goods to Africa will still ship quality products to EU and America.

The Abia State government or financial partners should promote similar shops in Dubai and other Western cities.

Yes. Our igbo brothers should tap into this.

Biafrarep:
Until we start exporting finished value added goods, we will never develop! The major reason why Niger Delta is still swimming in poverty despite the huge oil and gas is because foreigners come there, lay pipelines and export crude oil while no form of value is added to the region. Aside paying oil workers salary and a little more allocations, what else do they gain? Nothing! But had it been there are refineries, petrochemical companies and the rest producing refined and finished products, that region would have been the most prosperous in Africa. But see their deplorable and shameful condition

This idea is genuis and apart from the direct gains to the investor, this is the biggest PR move for Aba products in recent times.

Igbos have got massive potentials to be truly great. Let Innoson grow into a massive car maker serving Africa and middle East, and let Aba become a global supplier of consumer goods, then watch us become Africa's new hope

Lalasticala please come and move this success story to front page. If it's about bad roads or filth, the other bigot mod will hurriedly move it to front page.

I swear. It is. I encourage Aba to continue making and selling put of Nigeria. Also, they should make it up to standard. This is a great new. A very very good PR.

If people don't value what we have at home, outsiders will

This is a very commendable thing . I pray and wish it grows so so much to compete with other top brands and even beat them. May God make it easy for the owner.

who edits these pictures?

adubam:
I just want to share this painful and bitter scenario to job seekers out there.

So we posted a job advert and over four hundred applied. Three were selected for interview and only one appeared.

Salary is about 150k for a start.

So this applicant came and did well in both oral and written interview but she was not given the job because of this:

She was given a paper to apply for the job. Excellent write up though but she messed up the whole paper with cancellation and instead of asking for a fresh paper to start over again; she even went ahead and handed over it like that to my boss.

My boss concluded that she was an untidy and scatty fellow.

And that was all.

Please take note of this and try not to make this mistake.

God grant you your desired jobs.

HR should stop playing GOD!. All these are unnecessary. If you think she deserves the Job, give her and stop looking for mistakes and things that doesn't matter. Damn. It is just annoying hw these HR come up with lots of excuses why they wouldn't give job . After giving you he job sef, all they interview you for would never matter again

Oga. Suspsend them now. What is their usefulness?

If you cant reform them. Suspend them indefinitely.

Can we just move on?

It is pathetic we give issues like this so much importance

Mercychen:
What exactly is your point because you've not made any sense as far as I'm concerned.

I'm a teacher, not her parents. The best I can do is warn her classmates to stop calling her that but that will not change how the girl feels because she's already lost her self-esteem and needs to regain her confidence back which requires practical solution ( feeding her fat) which only the parents can do and not the teacher!

What would counselling do for 5yr old by the way?

You didn't give a good suggestion ma. Just as you will advice someone to change his/her colour because people mock them for it. Not cool at all. No disrespect but I wouldn't like any of my ward to be taught by you.

How can you say one should overfeed his child because she is being called "baby"? And when this overfeeding becomes a complication sooner or later.. Will you be there to help them out? This your comment just reek of inferiority complex. What if she changes school and she met lots of people like her or she took your advice and became fat then changed school and people started bullying her for being fat.

Superwave16320:
Yes I am on his payroll n he is my messaih I am.not ashamed of him nor of that. If you hate Tinubu for any reason without him owing scamming or defrauding you may your entire household perish before your very eyes your parent born n unborn children inclusive.

Lol. What exactly is your problem young man? Fighting someone else's battle. Honestly, Tinubu doesn't know you or even about your existence. So why trying to kill yourself over him?
Relax. Take a chill pill.


Guys. Are you seeing? This is exactly how fanatics are made. This is one of thr people who will follow their master blindly. Come to think of it, aren't you same human as Tinubu? Did you come to this life to worship a man?

You better snap out of your delusion and face reality. Not everyone will like your master. Deal with it!!!

I haven't insulted you and I will let the insults pass but I won't take it next time. Understood?

Superwave16320:
Yorubas that talked like this betrayed the likes of Awo. If we ask what property or money Tinubu collected from wretched household you no go fit talk.

I understand Tinubu is a god to you. Sorry, but I didn't insult him. Did I? Well, since you and your household are on payroll, nothing much to be said about you. He is the messiah to you.


I am my own god.

adelaja70:
Who are the US?

The "US" part about Tinubu not being our god?

TooNoisy:
One thing that is very clear is that the Yoruba are the most accommodating tribe in Nigeria; no one can deny that. However, what have we got in return - hate and envy especially from the Igbos. The Hausa/Fulani are suspicious of the Youruba but they do not hate the Yoruba. The are also accommodating to the Yorubas.

The Edo/Isekiri/Urhoro are siblings to the Yorubas even though they have their own identity. The Efik/Ibibio are somewhat indifferent to the Yoruba but that is fine. The Igbos outright hate the Yoruba and it is time Yorubas become very conscious of this hatred.

Everyday they are castigating Tinubu, Fayemi and Osinbajo; and other potential Yoruba presidential candidates. The other day they were calling Yoruba women undesirable and dirty. All of them were hating on Peter Okoye for marrying a “dirty Yoruba woman” - a woman who is more educated and exposed than anyone in their generation. They insult the same Lagos where they live - why don't they just go back to Onitsha and Aba.

They insult anything Yoruba- from Anthony Joshua, Wizkid, Tiwa and everything Yoruba. These insults are not unnoticed. Yoruba will not forget and will surely retaliate!

Oga. Hold your horses. We are not retaliating anything. Everything isn't violence. I don't know where you have been to or were you were schooled but in Lagos, we don't care!!

Not everything is violence . Damn it!!! Stop being petty. Every tribe has had or is having its own fair share of insults from other tribes. I dont see it as a biggie, eo long it isn't violence.


You talk about Tinubu like he is a Yoruba god. To you he could be, to us , he isn't. Everyone that doesn't like Tinubu shouldn't be your problem . Yeah, we are accommodating.

We grew up chanting tunes like this when we were playing game and it was still not a biggie. No offence was taken .

The song:
Who no know say the thing dey pain x2
My belle... I full am garri.
Youruba Pangolo Belle
Igbo Fufu Seller.
Hausa Craw Craw for yanch.

so, no terrestrial TV station is airing it ? na wa o

What about the Jedi they smoke , isn't that an illegal drug too?

In a country where the environment aren't suiting for one to think properly. He/she will forget the beauty of nature. We are just all after Survival
