There are many businesses that are profitable Oga. It's either you're too proud to start one or you're too broke to afford the startup capital.

Example of the ones you're too proud to start

1. Waste disposal
2. Laundry
3. Buy and sell from village market


Examples of the ones you're too broke to start
1. Shipping and forwarding
2. Import from China
3. Oil and Gas logistics
4. Private School

My dear, you don't know anything. Keep deceiving yourself. How many of those businesses do you own? I can even help you own some of those business if you are serious about it. None is lucrative as the OP said. And I'm serious, jokes apart, if you are serious, I can help you own and manage some of those businesses you listed there if you are in Delta and Edo axis but I know you don't know anything.

As a staunch supporter of Peter Obi, I stand with him. Subsidy stands removed. I wish tinubu had not been callous and cruel in his approach, he should have adopted the Obi's approach. Obi proposed the Angola model. Angola removed Subsidy too, but gradually. That's why they're not crying today. You came into office and said...Subsidy is gaan! Without,first providing palliatives like Jonathan he once criticised with sponsored nationwide protests had done.

Had he made provision for a supplementary budget to cater for this, same way he did on less important and frivolous areas when he came, the masses wouldn't be crying like this today and it takes a wicked and unfeeling leader to act that way. Nigeria isn't difficult to govern. Fashola's leadership model in Lagos made me believe so, cos my state is the most difficult in Africa to govern. Though it was because he didnt listen to tinubu which almost cost him his 2nd term bid. He dealt ruthlessly with Tinubu's allies who refused to do good jobs after taking contracts as well, their usual habit.

Atiku should just rest. There's no amount of baits he can set for us that would catch us. He'll rather draw Nigeria backwards by half a century if given the chance to rule Nigeria. The way he managed the sale of fed govt property and the monetisation arrangements had shown. He should just rest and focus on his bad leg.

With all this long epistle you wrote, are you aware the NNPC has been paying subsidy and still pays as we speak. Anyone telling you there is no subsidy is just lying to you. Among the cabals stealing the subsidy is Tinubu himself. These facts came out during GEJ administration and this was why the man wanted it totally removed then. Anyone who thinks BAT will be the one to remove subsidy is a fool. What they did is just to increase fuel price

AI Amplifies Everything: Why You Need to Be Careful

Google’s 2025 DORA research provides a useful way for understanding AI-assisted software development: AI is an amplifier. It magnifies the strengths of high-performing companies and the flaws of underperforming ones.(Google Cloud Blog)

Based on data from nearly 5,000 technology professionals, the study found that AI adoption is connected with better software delivery throughput and product performance, although delivery stability remains an issue. (Google cloud)

That tension merits further attention.

AI may help developers write code faster, experiment with new technologies, automate monotonous tasks, and prototype concepts that used to take days.

But AI does not simply make work disappear

It redistributes the work.



The Velocity Tax

AI can dramatically accelerate code generation. But time saved writing code can reappear as time spent reviewing, testing, correcting, and prompting.

DORA reports that 30% of developers have little or no trust in AI-generated code. As AI increases the volume and velocity of changes, verification becomes increasingly important.

This creates an interesting shift:

AI can increase the productivity of the person generating code while increasing the cognitive load on the person reviewing it.

More output does not automatically mean more value.

Without strong testing, version control, small batches, and fast feedback loops, greater velocity can simply move the bottleneck downstream. DORA specifically identifies these practices as important capabilities in AI-assisted development.



The Expertise Paradox

AI lowers the barrier to working in unfamiliar domains. That is powerful.

But it also raises a difficult question:

If AI removes too much of the struggle involved in solving difficult problems, how do engineers develop deep expertise?

A developer can now produce something they do not fully understand.

This makes engineering judgment more, not less, crucial.

The goal should not be simply to help engineers get answers faster. It should be to help them develop the ability to determine whether those answers are correct, secure, maintainable, and appropriate.

Generation becomes cheaper in effort. Evaluation becomes more valuable. Judgment becomes more important.


The Prototype-to-Production Gap

AI can make the first version of an idea remarkably fast to produce.

But production software still has to survive security requirements, edge cases, integration constraints, testing, observability, deployment, maintenance, and real users.

The first 80% can become dramatically faster while the final 20% remains stubbornly expensive in time and attention.

The bottleneck has not disappeared.

It has moved.

And as organizations adopt more AI tools, another form of friction can emerge: tool sprawl. Choosing which model, agent, assistant, or workflow to use can itself become cognitive overhead.

So, What Should Leaders Do?

The answer is not to slow down AI adoption.

It is to strengthen the system around it.

DORA's research points toward quality internal platforms, accessible internal data, strong version control, small batches, clear AI policies, and user-centricity as capabilities that amplify AI's positive impact.

This changes the leadership question.

Instead of asking:

“How much faster can AI make our developers?”

Ask:

“Can our engineering system absorb that speed and convert it into reliable value?”

AI does not eliminate organizational constraints.

It redistributes them.

It does not make engineering excellence less important.

It increases its value.

AI may make software development faster.

It will not make engineering less important. you

I am actually learning this the hard way. After rushing to write the app, I'm now trying to understand the entire thing which has taken me currently 1 month. I've now resolved to write the entire thing from scratch myself. The one AI wrote is working. I will just ship that and start my own code because of future error.

cutecommend:
Have you felt the pains of fire before? Hell fire is a place of deepest torments and pains. It is a place you must do all you can not to go in.

Make sure you leave this world with Jesus in you.
Whether you are okay, sick, in danger, or if your loved ones are okay, sick or in danger, lead them to repentance. Do not leave this world without Jesus.

This is urgent! If you want Jesus to make you a candidate of heaven, kindly say this genuinely and in faith:

"Lord Jesus Christ, please I am sorry for all my sins, please forgive me all my sins now and come into my life now in Jesus name. Amen"

If you have said this prayer genuinely and in faith, you are now born again. Please read your bible and pray everyday. Also attend a good church.

There is no hell fire. If you believe in it, you are a fool. Has anyone ever been there and if anyone has been there how did he escape? We have proved this severally on this forum since 2008 and people still keep spewing this bullshit. Is it stupidity or what?

nwakibie3:
It's like if you want to benefit from Nigerian govt you have to be an outlaw first

No. This is not what I see. I suspect that something about this native doctor's claim is true. Something soludo knows and he wants to keep him close. Don't get me wrong, the changing of human head to money might not be true in the sense we are thinking but in another way neither of us knows which only the governor knows.

So all these years Desmond Elliott used in the house of assembly, he could not even create a good and sustainable job for himself. This is a shame.

Na so this police take loose him job like that.

Then what happens to the lecturer

Them no talk that one

The thing tire me. They have sentence the students and left the lecturer. Nothing we no go see. Even the reporter of this news is a fool to say the least.

MEGAWATCH:
Sincerely speaking I am very proud of Osun people.

This is what it' means by the people have spoken.


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes we are happy APC lost. But what has the present governor done for Osun state to warrant a reelection? Can you list 5 or 3 tangible mass-impactful project or policy that he has done?

CyberHustle:
If stand corrected, but EFCC avoids the immunity that govs enjoy and have never gone after seating governors. Since when did this state investigation trend started?

They can investigate sitting governors. What they cannot do is prosecute. Most times, they don't make noise about the investigation. That is why some governors will tell you they know they will be arrested once they leave office. Eg Yahaya Bello. Actually this did not start today. It had been like that since the days of Obasanjo. Lucky igbinedion come to my mind. There is another governor that cried in the court. I can't remember his name now. I think he was jigawa governor or so, I'm not too sure

Amarabae:
Growing up,I used to think that marital pressure is a feminine thing, like it is something you as a girl growing up in a conservative African home must brace yourself up to face and conquer.

As maturity and exposure beckoned, I discovered that it is not gender based, even young men especially in their 30s also face this "pressure to marry" though subtly to a large extent.

Getting off the phone recently with an old time friend, he told me how the economic situation in Nigeria has been preventing him from settling down admist pressure from family and friends about him getting married; mind you, he is 37!!

What shocked me is that a neighbor of his is even suspecting him to be gay!!!
You should know some amebo Nigerians especially in some busy neighborhood, the lgbt conscientiousness has thrived so high that any young man who is not a womanizer or yet married at some point gets suspected to be one of the rainbow people.

I have to take my time to counsel him because from the voice, I detected a young man slipping into the degenerative arms of depression!!

To all the 30+ bachelors here!
Listen to me.

We live life once!
Don't allow societal pressure to push you into taking a decision you are not prepared for.
Marriage is not a child's play, it involves both emotional, social and financial stability.

It is a 50-50 journey with unpredictable outcome
Just focus on building yourself, chasing your dreams and making your a bit financially stable.
I am emphasizing on financial stability because it is extremely important for a marriage to be smooth!

You don't have to be a millionaire to start, NO
But get to a point where you can sustain two people (new wife and potentially a baby) for 30 days.

What about the wife? Will she not contribute? Someone may be tempted to ask!
My dear, yes , a supportive lady ought to support but big brother, You should not take the risk of entering into marriage with a meagre source of income and be hoping on the lady you want to marry to support.

Many went this path and it produced mixed results
Grow your finances
Develop yourself
Take your time, don't make the move out of pressure , It is your life to live and your decision to make.

I have gotten to the point in life even as a lady that I will not live my life according to other people's wishes
If you are not ready, don't enter!
Enter when you are ready .
Love you all plenty
Oriaku cares

Sorry to ask "are you married?"

I married when I was 25 yrs and people still taught I was gay before marrying. I think he should forget about what people will say because they will always talk. Even when you marry now, they will talk: his wife is too beautiful, she be ashewo, the wife no fine she worwor, she too tall, she too short, they are not compatible, bla bla bla...

Goo0dHardDick:
I don't take people who are 25years and above serious, once I noticed they're still living with their parents.

The moment I noticed you're still living with your parents, whether you're a guy or a girl, I'll never take you serious. I'll immediately see you as an unserious person in life.

People who are 25years and above sometimes do not have clear goals for their lives. They waste any money that comes to them. A young man of 25 living with his parents is ready to waste money on hotels esp when he wants to meet with a lady for comfort and relaxation. A girl of 25 and above sees no reason to move out of her parents house because of fear of payment of bills and house rent including feeding. I see people who lives with their parents as loosers afraid of taking risks in life, afraid of starting life and afraid of life in general.

The thing is, I have more respect for girls and people generally who lives alone than those living with their parents!

Who are you to make your opinion count? Your opinion is trash. It does not make sense. Plus you sound like someone raised in poverty and the mindset of poverty still follows him or her around. My father had 3 houses in the same street, each 6 flat. 3 flat upstairs and 3 flat downstairs. I think when I was 25 or 26, I can't remember which. I started staying alone in one of the flats. If I come in with a girl and I don't tell you the house belongs to my dad, you wouldn't even know. My wife met me while I was still there. You assume everyone staying with their dad, stays in the same flat or room. That is poverty mentality that you grow up with and you have decided to judge the world like that. Don't you think you are exposing yourself?

You seriously need to be thankful to God if you don't have a family member ( whether nuclear or extended ) embarrassing you on the social media space.

grandstar:
It may not be farfetched. I think its best one actually do some real research.

I am certain those who sell boiled corn easily do 200 corn pieces a day. That can be gleaned from the pot they use.

Bro there is no way she's making that money. Any body believing that shit is stupid to be honest. You know how many years we don dey street. Ask her how much she pays for tax. How much is a corn sold Vs how much was it bought? I can't believe Nigerians can be this stupid. It's not even hard to know people that sells it. I have lots of family members that have done it and it's not a palatable business to be frank. 2 million my foot. She no make up to 200k per day.

Government should locate her so that she can start filing the right annual returns for tax purposes.

There is nothing in this report. What they are saying is a state governor shall not ... What happens if the state police does otherwise? Nothing on it. We actually as if we are aliens in this country. This is a country where the IG of police said no road block and till this day, there is still road block. We have heard severally that a police cannot search your phone without a warrant and they still break the law anyway. The simple reason is that when you put a law that one must not do something, you have to follow it up with the consequences. Who will effect the consequences etc. you don't just say don't do this.

hegelian:
You know his people will not defend him.. They don't defend thieves like we don't in Yoruba land.. They didn't defend ekweremadu and his wife, they never defended rochas when he was busy erecting statues(it was us Yoruba that was defending him against his people cos he was in apc), they are still not defending the bleached IMO guy(na still us Yoruba dey defend him and tomorrow we will turn against him when we are through with him).. It is us Yoruba that love defending thieves, criminals, and charlatans among us like we have been defending gbajabiamila despite his conviction, like we are defending mc oluomo, like we have been defending dapo abiodun, like we have been defending tinubu himself..
Every tribes get bad and criminal people but it has been shown those that defend their criminals and those reject them

Mike Ozekhome is not Igbo please. No need for this.

Stephen0mozzy:
You can use Secure Pass - atleast I did so with UBA.

Which one is secure pass? Without ATM you can't use Polaris bank app, Zenith bank App, GT bank app. The only alternative to some of them is hardware token.

Stephen0mozzy:
It's a really big shame how GTbank has fallen sha. They really used to be like a Techy brand for banking.

All these werey dey debit shege for my empty account, sms charges for sms wey dem no dey send, and put my account on negative.

Their app looks smart, but me nor put shishi there again. And with matters like this na to kukuma close am.

Here's a strategy I use:
1. Don't get an atm card on your main account (any Bank at all). Only the app, turn on password and two-factor authentication - for any payments transfer for your fintech apps like opay and the rest.

2. Don't activate USSD code or internet banking either on your main account.

This strategy will not work on most regular banks except it's fintech. Most bank will not allow you use their app without an ATM card.

saintopus:
One of the mistake Nigeria often makes is allowing foreign organisations to mine minerals in the country without building industries to convert the minerals to finish goods and export them.

It is even the foreign organisations that conduct the exploration. Read the report again. A private firm was carrying out exploration. What was the Nigerian government doing? Sleeping? It is what they want you to know that you know. I can bet you, even the Nigerian government does not currently know all the mineral resources that Nigeria have and that are currently being mined even as we speak. Who would even know that Nigeria has gold in abundance.

We simply can't manage this kidnapping issue. It's high time we invited foreign bodies to come and assist us and stem the tide of things. I still wonder how ransoms are paid and yet this people can't be traced. We simply are years behind the modern world. Like a self inflicted pain

Foreign bodies are already assisting you and you still have this level of insecurity. America created a base in your country because they claim they wanted to fight boko haram but since then the activities of boko haram is now moving towards the south of the country.

HacheNoire:
In as much as I will try to agree with you, I then believed it was an exaggeration. Iran proved me wrong!

Those breeds are the definition of madness!

Serving the US and Israel craze for craze!

I am not surprised. If you believed it was an exaggeration then, I think you should start by examining the type of news you consume. Because only people that consume western propaganda believed Iran was a push over. There was a reason top CIA agents panicked at the beginning of the war. Apart from what was told, there was also reasons why other western nations bluntly refused to join the war. They knew Iran was a real threat not propaganda.

HacheNoire:
Iran fwckin putting-in that work!

The US and Israel met their match!

Why you should never in your life underrate quiet people. 99% of them are built different. Just don’t give them a reason to go all out!

No one on Earth could have predicted that an Iran would one day humble the US and Israel at the SAME time!

They even scared to put boots on the ground!

Everyone knew Iran had the capacity to humble the US and Israel. Even if NATO was even involved. Iran had the capacity to humble them all. The only idiot who was not aware might be Trump.

GboyegaD:
Don't you have a qualified registered nurse making the sick bay?

A qualified nurse does not administer drugs. They only administer drugs based on prescription from a doctor. I should start hiring doctors and nurses because I run a school. How much fees will I even collect at the end of the day?

GboyegaD:
I was talking to a group of teachers recently and you can tell they are not allowed to admit basic first aid. The discussion was due to us being called that my nephew who is a boarder had cold and we should come pick him from school. You know they gave us this consent form to sign that should our wards die in school, we wouldn't sue Lagos State Government.

A teacher also mentioned how she almost got sacked for administering paracetamol. The parent if the child claimed they only use herbs for their child and it became a big issue.

It is unfortunate what we have turned things to but what can we all do?

I own a private school. You can be arrested for administering paracetamol. Infact when health officials come for inspection and they check your first aid box, they don't expect to see any form of medication in it. They will tell you that you are operating a school not a clinic. And that should you have an issue, you should call the parents before even taking the child to the hospital. I have challenged this severally but this is how the government wants it. It is their policy. Only a concrete law from the legislature can change this.

Mrslarissa98:
Hello everyone, I need your advice please.
I am half Nigerian. I am married and currently living in another African country with my husband and our two children. Our first child is 4 years old and the youngest is 9 months old.

I was born and raised in Nigeria to a Nigerian father. When I was 13 years old, my parents divorced. My mother took me, my younger brother, and my elder sister from her previous relationship back to her country. Since we left, I have not seen or spoken to my father.

Unfortunately, my mother passed away two years later when I was only 15. Life was very difficult for us because my mother’s family treated us badly, but that is not really what I am looking for advice about, so I will keep the story short.

I got married 5 years ago, and 3 years ago my husband and I relocated to a different African country. We are both involved in business. I run a hair salon while also taking care of my duties as a wife and mother.

When I started my business, my daughter was already 2 years old and attending school, so it was easier to manage both my business and my responsibilities at home. But when I became pregnant with my son, I knew it would not be easy anymore because I would need someone to help take care of him while I worked. I stayed home for about 3 months after he was born, and when I was preparing to return to work, I asked my pastor’s wife to help me find someone to assist me. She had helped other people find help before, and she introduced us to a 19-year-old girl who came to live with us.

At first, everything was going well. She took very good care of my baby. My daughter’s school was close to my shop, so I was the one dropping her off and picking her up. We had planned that the following year we would move her to a school closer to the house so the girl could help with picking her up.

Let me also add that while I was on maternity leave, my husband used to come home around 1 p.m. to eat lunch. But when I returned to work, I asked him not to come home during the day anymore and to start taking food to work instead, which he did.

When my baby was about 5 months old, we left for work as usual. Around 10 a.m., my phone rang. It was my husband saying he was at the hospital with the maid and the baby. I panicked and asked what happened and if my baby was okay. He said the baby was fine, but the maid was the one who was not well.

He told me that he was at work, but he suddenly felt very uneasy, like something was telling him to go home and check on the baby. When he got home, he heard the baby crying inside the room where the maid shared with our daughter. At first, he ignored it, thinking maybe she was changing the baby. But the crying became worse, and he heard a loud bump. He called the maid’s name, but there was no response. When he entered the room, he found her lying on the floor naked, and the baby was next to her crying. He picked up the baby and called the neighbors, who helped cover her and put her in his car. One male neighbor followed them to help with the baby while they went to the hospital.

The girl was unconscious at first, but later she recovered. After she was discharged, I was wondering what could have happened. I asked her if she had any history of seizures or something similar, but she said no. She explained that she could not clearly remember what happened that day. She said that after putting the baby to sleep, she rushed to take a bath, and after coming out of the bathroom she could not remember anything else until she woke up in the hospital.

During the following days, I allowed her to rest as much as possible, and I started taking my baby with me to my shop. It was not easy, but I wanted her to recover.

One day, I came back home and found the house empty. She was nowhere to be found. I panicked and called her number, but it was switched off. I called our pastor’s wife, but she said she had not seen her. She was already aware of what had happened at the hospital. We were all worried and tried to reach her without success. Our pastor’s wife even sent someone to her aunt’s house to check if she was there, but she was not.
After a few days, we found out that she was staying with her elder sister in another town. We felt some relief knowing she was at least with family. We tried to contact her to ask why she left suddenly, but she would not pick up our calls.
Four months later, she came back to the church and informed our pastor that the reason she left my house was because, according to her, ever since she started living with us, my husband had been making advances toward her. She said she always refused him. She claimed that on the day of the incident, my husband came home and met her in the room while she was dressing, forced himself on her, beat her, and she passed out.
The pastor called us, and the girl repeated this in front of everyone. My husband could not deny it and started begging for forgiveness. I was completely shattered. Although the pastor and his wife counseled us and tried to reconcile us, and my husband has been begging for forgiveness, I am still heartbroken. I am no longer interested in this marriage. I feel anger and pain whenever I look at him.

Now I feel like taking my children and going back to my home country. I cry every day and feel very depressed. I really need advice, please help me.

You counselling from someone experienced. As usual many singles will be talking rubbish in the thread. I can't give my opinions here for several reasons I don't want to disclose. The only thing I will tell you is to give yourself time to relax. It might be one month, two months or even a year, depending on you. Once your head is clear, address this issue again. You don't really understand who you're married to.

funnyDM:
If you've ever traded crypto or forex, then you have used this kind of chart. Oil prices rise, oil prices fall. Dollar rise, dollar fall. It's all about this chart, incase you don't know.

See many people study maths but don't really understand the concept. That's why many of them come out to embarrass themselves that maths is useless in today's world. I usually laugh at them

dettolgel:
Dont sound naive guys were "bombing" then big time.

Just there were still some sort of moral value back then and no one was "proud" enough to say that they were doing such. Unlike these days where people will boldly admit to it.

I was about to say this. As at 2000 there was already the popular CC number scam. Guys were generating CC numbers for various scams. Abi una think say that song Kelly handsome sang around 2008 Na nonsense?

This is the disadvantage of marrying one wife people rarely talk about. Marry many wives and you have dodged all these.

This is why I always advise men that in the case of a divorce, never leave any of your child behind with the lady except you are not sure of the father. Do everything within your power to get those children. They don't know what they are doing. They will of course support their mother but time will correct everything. Don't use the court, use the traditional means like family et al. They usually shift to the man's side. You can see this now. After damaging the life of the child, she still went back to the man.
