Waste of human space. I don't know why people keep bringing kids that they cant take care of.

I fear for this country in the future. People are just "producing" idiots for the larger society to battle with in the future.

People that don't have means of training their kids into responsible adults should be castrated and stopped from giving births.

We now have many abandoned idiots in Nigeria roaming the streets.

"If the music follow you enter toilet". I can relate.

The current sardines tins are now well spaced - just two pieces in a Tin unlike when you had them many.

So, don't compare the current sardines pack with the way these students are sitting. Attending Nigerian universities is now becoming a nightmare. I couldn't imagine that I once attended one.

somehow:
I wanted to buy some chairs from vava earlier this year, my wife discouraged me due to the cost and said we should build one instead.

We checked various furniture makers, they are mostly displaying their jobs on major highways Lagos-Abeokuta express way etc.

We decided to try out one of those guys displaying good looking chairs.

I gave him specifics, down to using 100% fibre for the covering, do you know that 1 week into delivery (After delaying by 5 days), the arms of at least 2 of the seaters started shaking?

Called him several times to come fix these issues, he kept giving excuses until I stopped calling him.

He even used the wrong color and wanted more money to have the fabrics changed to the color I chose.

There are things I wont be allowing Nigerian artisans handle for me, it's just getting out of hand. Almost all the furniture makers I have patronized for the past 5 years disappointed me one way or the other.

I don't know why this is so, is that that perfection is no longer a yardstick?

Artisans no longer want to stand out or what exactly is happening?

It is the Nigerian ways of doing things. No attention to details. The "Oga, leave am like that"mentality. Na so we dey do am here.

I am shocked that Michlin could see someone's demand for good workmanship as an attack on Nigerian artisans while he had earlier made comments about how the Beninoise had taken over the plastering business from Nigerians because of poor workmanship.

I can't go below my taste. I will pay you money and demand thorough workmanship. There is nothing like "Nigeria is a difficult place". Every body is facing the same difficulty in his or her trade. That should not be a reason to compromise on quality.

Give them sample of what you want, some would still deliver below standards. Sometimes, it's not about having the correct tools. It's about concentration and cheer determination to deliver first class work.

Michlin, please allow people that demands professionalism to be. Once you have established taste for class, you wouldn't want to go below it.

Somehow, sorry I used your quote to digress.

Our tastes are alike. This is what I’m looking for too. What he posted is the gaudy royal style which makes no sense to me. I think Nollywood made it popular.

Check out this company owned by a young Nigerian lady.

This is another company, the dining table I wanted but they only show abroad pictures and not pictures of what they’ve actually done.

My wife showed me a massive dinning with six seaters as her preferred choice since her friend got same last year in trade fair. I just laughed within me and kept quiet. What you posted is what I am getting but rounded in shape instead of rectangular with four chairs.

I want a home that radiates tranquility and space. We sold most of our furniture to get new ones because of the new house. Reaching a compromise on the design of furniture to get has always been our problem because of individual taste.

Your Casa villa tells me that our taste buds are same.

You are right with the Nollywood analogy. All the mansions they use in Nigeria movies comes with that kind of "royal" sofas posted by the guy, making it popular. All the Alaba big men in my hood have those kind of sofas. But they are turn off for me. I like space a lot with minimal material objects.

cjfbn:
Would you like this?

Honestly, that's not my kind of taste and design. I like them simple and minimal in design.

See the pictures of what I am going for

Honestly, I do not see a father figure in this Mr. man. He seems so careless.

I am sure his carelessness contributed to his son's death. Being a typical Nigerian politician, who knows, he himself may be on substance. See how his recklessness contributed to his son's death.

As a dutiful and dedicated father, when your child makes a complain, you act quickly. Do not wait or continue in the "business as usual" mentality that he or she would be fine. There are always some unsaid needs and issues and it is your responsibility as a parents to figure it out from your kids.

The things that occur in Nigeria.

I went into a Very Vell known upscale furniture store in Ibadan.

I selected a suitable sofa set. They didn’t have any in stock except for the display item which of course I’m not going to buy.

The store wants me to pay a deposit before they’ll bring a new in box one.

Now this doesn’t make sense to me. I can see if I wanted some obscure version that’s not normally stocked.

Is this how yah all do this out here?

It’s a bit disappointing to me based on the perception that I had of the store. I guess they’re not as big as I thought.

This is why I have not gotten the sofa I wanted.

There is a showroom near my area. You know, I love those minimalist sofas with nice castor legs that you could be able to see underneath the sofas
I saw nice sofa (one-3 sitter and 2-single sitters). I told them that I will pay and pick them but they said that those ones are samples and that I should deposit 50% for them to do exactly the same ones. My worry is not depositing money but it would shock you that the final outcome may not be same with the sample in the showroom.

I asked them for the pictures of real works they had done before. After seeing the pictures of some of their works, i quietly ghosted them.

My friend had a bitter experience with an interior decorator that brought magazine of beautiful furnitures. After he selected the one he wanted and paid, then delivery was made after a month. The sofas delivered were not of the same eye-catching as what he saw in their magazine.

I prefer to see what i want, then pay and pick them.

Why the man dey always keep him mouth like this? - Always bending one side like person wey wan force smile

The real killers of this man are chilling somewhere. She may be an accomplice but the real badoos that stabbed and killed him have not been brought to book.

Obi Cubana!!! i hope you survive this one. Those that hates you for no just cause will finger you in this case if it is even genuine in the first place as I do not trust Nigerian system. As someone earlier pointed out above, it may be a smokescreen to distract attention from the extradition warrant from the US Attorney federal district court.

Make this man wait and start work. All these media releases is not good.

I hope there wont be excuses when reality sets in.

I wish him all the best

Still very local and our standards are terribly low. Watch the pitches used by third division clubs in South Africa. We lack maintenance culture and takes inefficiency as a way of life.

Are you still in this trade? Where is your location?

Congratulations Baba. Very neat and clean. Just the way I love it. No complicated designs.
It ozees out and radiates tranquility. The simpler, the better. Is this for your own use or for commercial?

Read about sterling Bank and what they are currently targeting to achieve. You must have the correct questions to ask when the time comes for you to ask them questions.

Your questions must focus on what the bank's strategies are and how they intend to achieve them. The questions you ask may be the thing that will distinguish you from other candidates. Your questions must be intelligent questions.

Have mastery of all the those "lies" and "achievements" you indicated on your CV. You must be ready to defend every skills and training you claimed to know and have attended. It is not uncommon for people to lie on their CVs and embellished them with lies, just know how to defend those lies.

Look smart and suave. Don't wear those boggy and oversized suites sold by those Mallams at Marina, go to idumota and get second hand Zara suite and give "Ndi Obioma" to mend it to be body fitted.

Don't take this opportunity for granted. Entering the banking sector as a graduate trainee is a dream of every graduate and it's an opportunity to set your career on a path of growth.

Good luck!

This Buffon should just keep quite - Always recycling old stories and lies. The guy no dey move me at all. He looks and behaves somehow

Imagine if the recruiter was a Nigerian HR!!!

I am sorry to say this but Nigerian HR are the worst. They hardly offer empathy or see job seekers as important. If it was a Nigerian interviewing you, he would even lash at you for not being prepared. Trust me, the woman was open and would not take all the glitches into consideration in making her decision.

Please if it is a start-up FINTEC, biko, remain where you are now. The rate of mortality of start-ups, including fintecs in Nigeria is alarming. Don't be moved by the initial attractive pay. Once they are not able to scale through the difficult, competitive and challenging business terrain of Nigeria, they will just collapse.

I will advise you remain with the commercial bank, except if you are a contract staff with the commercial bank, you may give the fintec company a chance, otherwise, maintain.

Nigerians upbringing, social systems, value systems, culture and perception always conspire to set up an average Nigeria for a life of corruption and fraud. Look at our environment and the way of life, you will see corruption and fraud in all aspects of our lives.

So sad, just imagine what the future holds for her children in this unforgiven country with no social welfare. I am sure the husband or whoever is the father of her kids would be somewhere drinking ogogoro and allowed the handicapped woman to fend for her self. It must have been so bad for her to risk it all to come and beg for help. A handicapped woman for that matter? Just imagine the children getting to read and see the picture of how their mother died in the future, with that inscription she was holding. It would be very traumatic and unnerving for them.

My brothers and sisters, if you could offer any little help to those neighbors of yours that are struggling, please do. A lot of families are facing through difficulty and women are bearing the brunt of most of the suffering. Don't wait for them to ask. Most would not ask because of fear and other thing. Mere reading their countenances, way of life, faces, you would know that they need help and then, see how you could help.

It may be as simple as giving her N2000 to get a tuber of yam or buy bread for the kids or biscuits for the children while going to school. Use this Valentine to touch the lives of a family. Don't waste it on any chic or a guy that doesn't care about you. May God continue to bless the works of our hands as we perform this charity and other corporal works of mercy. Amen

All these international NGOs operating in Nigeria would take him for a job. Dem no dey take eye see a disabled person that is qualified for a job with them. Once you indicate in your CV that you are physically challenged, LGBT or being a woman, they will shortlist you for interview.

Amaechi played as much part as Tinubu did but the press were all over the place, hero-worshipping Tinubu as he was the one that single-handedly enthroned Buhari as the President.

Amaechi emptied the Rivers state treasury for APC and he is as much qualified to get the APC ticket if you are considering those that have funded the party in the past.

As for me, they are all the same. Trust Nigerian politician at your own peril - I was just trying to make a common sense. I am a fan of neither of them.

The more I read this kind of news, the more it dawns on me that I still need to do a lot of work on my daughter. The girl child seems easily deceived into love. Parents should continue to provide the emotional and physical support, especially to their girl child and teach them what relationship is all about to avoid falling into the hands of demons that calls themselves boyfriends or lovers.

As if they will still be active at 65 years. Imagine a 65 year old teacher teaching in a primary or secondary school. They should go and sit down and allow upcoming younger teachers to take over. Given the opportunity, Nigerians would want to be retiring at 90 or at death.

Overseas, workers are agitating for the retirement age to be brought down to 55, where as Nigerians wants it to go up.

This is one thing I like about Lagos Catholic Dioceses. As a Priest, do anyhow, you will see any how.

Okogie started the no-nonsense attitude and dutifully passed it to Alfred Adewale Martins

If it was in the East, the Bishop will be pampering the priest and be sluggish in acting. There should not be any delay or setting up a useless committee to look into any stupidity. Kudos to Archbishop Adewale Martins.

But seriously, that priest must be nursing one kind hatred for the Igbo tribe that he couldn't hold it again. Just imagine, a catholic priest? This one fall hand, ghan. I am totally disappointed. He must be de-robed. No waste of time

Why do wildlife conservationists likes wearing this type of green or brown khaki clothes?

I blame the husband. The husbands of these kind of women are usually SIMPS. As a man, take charge of your home, including your house maids and caution your wife.

As my rule in the house, any Nanny or house maid that comes to my house calls me daddy and my wife mummy. From the psychological point of view, it's difficult to be wicked to a child that calls you father, daddy or mummy.

These names of "brother", "aunty" is a no no in my house. Don't call me "brother" or my wife "aunty" or "madam". Call her mummy. This has helped with bonding and reduced any untoward act to the maids by my wife.

michlins:
how big is your home and what's the cost of setting up the solar system

My own section is a three bedroom mini duplex. I spent close to 1.2m on the solar, excluding solar heater which we are now seriously considering also.

multikolour:
its finer and simple with wood

This is cool. But that POP TV design posted by Bolu is beautiful. No colour riot. Simple and elegant with smooth finishings.

topsy23:
What is the KVA rating of your solar? How many AC did you connected to the solar?

The inverter AC consume less power as well

4.5 and eight 330W.

It is only the masters bedroom AC that I put on with inverter . I on the one in the living room if I have visitor and switch back to public power.

New inverter 1hp window AC works well with low voltage compare to split unit of comparable capacity based on my observations
