Same design as you have it there in the first picture. That's a simple design and I was attracted because of its minimalist nature. I am a minimalist.

120k is high naa for this simple design.
TravelRe: Adventure Of A UK Tier 4 Dependant by Focusmind: 7:57am On Jan 25, 2021
After my studies in 2010, I just concluded that the difference between developed and developing nations are too much. 19th century Europe was far more developed than 21st century Africa.

I was buying chocolate coated biscuits for less than 50p in UK whereby the same sells for 3k here. I bought bucket of cadbury chocolate at £1 while the same goes for not less than 3.5k here.

No matter your status, you could still live a decent poor man life in UK.

BusinessRe: 7 Ways To Get Out Of Debt In 2021 by Focusmind: 7:00am On Jan 24, 2021
Good point. Having a buffer/emergency funds to cater for your needs at least for the next six months or one year without any income source is very important.

I learnt the hard way because of multiple projects I engaged in without having any emergency fund. I was carrying out multiple physical projects and investments with hope that the income pipeline would keep on flowing without any atom of savings.

I was using 95% of whatever came in for all my projects and the remaining 5% for family expenses. All of a sudden, COVID came with a bang, and the income source abruptly stopped without any warning sign. I was in a fix and for the first time, had to borrow money from a friend to support ordinary family expenses.

Buffer/emergency funds is good in case of unforeseen circumstances even if you are involve in multiple projects and you are so sure of your income source. I was over ambitious with multiple projects and took an un calculated risks with my finances. Something akin to over trading because when your income stops, some of your projects may not have started yielding fruits. I had options of selling off some projects to get back cash but was advised to shelve the idea. At least when money comes, all the projects could continue again.

Save! Save! Save!

Send a copy of your CV and application letter, both written in good German language to the managing director of any German company in Nigeria. State also that you are very fluent in German language.

A friend that studied in China did the same by sending his CV and application in mandarin. He was called by the Chinese company. Though the pay isn't fantastic but it was better than been idle.

I'm surprised at this lack of ambition. These hurdles are not insurmountable. There are a million moving parts in a typical vehicle for which lubrication has been cracked.

What's the difference between this and the larger sliding doors for terraces?

Anyone else interested in running with this as a business, please drop your details here.

Especially if produced as a retrofitted replacement for those death traps we have seemingly made the norm, you will have a ready market here - starting with mine.
A lot of old houses in Ire akari estate have this type of burglary, especially for their large glass entry doors and it is still functioning.

It is a far better choice for men anything. But getting an artisan that could do it well now seems difficult. You will be advised to go with the norm.

Nice burglary design. This seems to be in Cameroon and not Nigeria going by the phone number indicated on the picture. The one I saw in Nigeria was for big entrance doors used mostly by boutique and showrooms.

Do you produce this open able burglary as it is there in Nigeria?

good day please can you help me by mentioning those programs (6-18months ) i have a Bachelors degree in Social Work, and i would love to work in UK. I wouldn't mind switching to nursing, through the route u mentioned. Though i am aware that social workers are also needed there, but i don't know how to go about it.
Hello, read my other posts where I mentioned the potential institutions in Nigeria that offers short programs in nursing. Most catholic owned hospitals and some federal school of nursing. Just scout around.
FamilyRe: Adekunle Okunuga Suspended As A Doctor In 2015 For Flogging Son In UK Reinstated by Focusmind: 7:25am On Jan 18, 2021
The same way my friend and his wife were arrested and suspended, respectively in Norway or Sweden, can't remember the exact one as they are now in Canada. They were always coming late to pick their child from school because of work and their hustle.

One day, they came late as usual to pick the boy and the boy was no where to be found. The school referred them to the council, who later brought police. The police told them that from report, they had been consistent in coming late to pick their child from school and they were sentenced to 15 days community work, with the child taken from them.

He told me that the wife cried all-night but he himself maintained his cool. His child was placed in the hands of one retired wealthy couple nearby and they were given permission to be visiting. Just imagine!

The boy stayed there for good nine weeks before they were allowed to take him back with serious warning. From the guy's point of view, no regret as it afforded him more time for his hustle and work but for the wife, it was emotional for her. The foster guidance was superb as they enjoyed their company so much.

The foster parents treated them so well. Always prepared dinner any time they visited. Na so abroad be.

Yes, a lot of Nigerian nurses in US hospitals. We met two at Memorial Herman

HealthRe: COVID-19: TVC Does Documentary On Patients Being Treated At IDH, Yaba, Lagos by Focusmind: 4:09pm On Jan 15, 2021
This is what we have been asking for - Govt should show people patients and health care workers in action and not showing score chat.

See hospitals in other countries, showing health care workers in full gear, attending to patients in hospital.

Here, we haven't seen any government hospitals, isolation centers, heath care workers attending to covid patients. Government's action is even contributing in fuelling the narrative that they whole thing is scam. COVID-19 is real and I believe it. I want the government to show doubting Thomas that it is real.

Kudos to TVC. I expected NTA to be showing hospitals and how the government is spending the covid money, building health centres.

The way and reason behind men not recognizing their blood when they see one baffles me. Fathers, may looking at your kids, you should be able to see yourself in them. I don't need DNA to tell me that my kids are mine. I could see my typical behaviors in them, including the ones I was told when I was of their age. Fathers, Look at them well, you will see how your eyes moves, you see your smiles in them, their facial expression when angry, their hairs, shape , the way they walk, run etc. In short, there are many features that will convince you that they are yours or not.
