Interviews I have done since I entered Chile is more than 200 interviews. I have interviewed with cisco, Amazon, other big companies. I have even interviewed with the state bank of Chile sef. I failed a lot of my initial interviews but after cracking how to do them well. I wasn't still getting any offers except comments like we went with a better candidate and stuff like that but they will say I am really sound technically. Funny enough my current offer supercedes everything I have interviewed for.

I read the conversation on the Financial Times. In summary, the Chinese carmakers have an issue with the company handling logistics and also, Telsa had signed a deal ensuring truck drivers only work with it (Tesla). So, gridlock till they solve the problem. The percentage of Chinese EVs being sold in Europe, although slowly growing, isn't that high sef. Western media just like blowing things out of proportion.

That is my modus operandi.

The last part of this comment makes you sound like a pi..mp.

I have actually pimped ladies to men. I just didn't take it seriously as I was managing my parents' hotels. The potential earnings would not be more than what I managed. Also, I was not in Lagos or Abuja, where there were wealthier men who wanted privacy while seeking hookers.

But pimping is something I have done.

Yes, the equipment will be mounted at the radiology suit of the hospital. However, a commitment of some part payment must be made. In some instances, it is the bank that comes in as an investor. These equipment companies are actually looking for other markets to expand their sales.

OK. Thank you. Till when I am ready. It still looks confusing to me. If e too hard, I do normal trading. Buy and go.

You might just be right. I fear those Lekki runs girls. Especially those ones that are feminist and the same time runs girls. If you know bourdilon estate in Chevron drive Lekki, there I met one okada man one night shivering with fear. I wanted to board a bike to Chevron bus stop; I asked him what was the problem and he pointed to me one lady standing some meters away that she was a witch, l laughed and he f. This is no fiction and for those that goes about patronizing olosho and runs girls like that boogie Man, please be careful guys

That is an important point to note in this hobby of brostitution.

- Never have them for overnight aka Till Day Break (TDB). Do an elongated short time and pay them off. But they must not sleep over no matter the reason.
- Follow your instincts.
- Guard yourself as well. Let them know that where their juju stops, that is where yours starts.
- Scrutinise the baddie closely. Too much tattoos? What kind of tattoos? Nose rings? Where? How many of them are hunged? Ankle rings? Waist beads? The degree and quantities should be assessed?

You are right that the most devilish and wicked of escorts are those who are feminazis, especially the ones who have a base on Twitter. You must be a strong man to engage those kinds of girls. While they look beautiful, I am wary of them. The baddest and most strategic baddies in Nigeria are domiciled in the Lekki-Ajah axis. Abuja comes second. The next would be the Warri/Asaba/Benin axis.

Preferably, do polytechnic and final year university's girls. Once these girls leave tertiary education, they become very wild.

The truth here is business men must learn to take time off, chasing clients, dealing with mind blowing losses. These factors can sometimes be overwhelming. Be a business owner, learn to leave your business on Autopilot.

This man's wife is a notable private equity/venture capital investor. For them to be married, it means he is well educated to know that a business entity is separate from its owner. But I agree with resting, it is important.

IbeOkehie:


I know I've said it before - I have no solutions for healthcare and primary education. Healthcare in particular is an unavoidable risk and completely independent of voluntary demand. So they're not fit for the free market.

It's clear however that Black Africans, in this case Nigerians, can't organize a socialist healthcare system and the evidence is ALL of Nigeria's history since 1960. We just don't have what it takes and even the UK and Canada are having problems with their socialist healthcare system. [b] So we have to try ANOTHER option,which is completely profit driven, capitalist and free market. What other option do we have? I'd like to read your take.

Good Luck to Nigerians

I do agree that we are very incompetent in managing infrastructure and services for the public good, and also considering our unfortunate diversity. In that case, privatisation to the end. But people go suffer and die o.

I can help fix the machine but that problem is that it is obsolete and parts might not be available.
When these people buy such equipment, they should never pay in full. Instead they should lease from the manufacturer. Siemens, GE, Philips and Konica are all good brands.

A quick maths will give you an idea of the business aspect
Take for instance, at 100k per exam for easy 20 exams in a day is #2M
An equipment lease of 20 % interest rate of $150k ( equipment cost and installing) is just $30k. Divine this by 12 month you have $2500 a month
This amount is achievable in any teaching hospital MRI department in Nigeria.
And they will have newer, well maintained machine.
Lack of information and exposure to international market / investors is the problem in these respect.
In case they need my help and service I am available.

So, the hospitals work directly with those manufacturers, not the investors who matched them? If I understand correctly, the machines would be on the hospital's premises, right?

It is just that I don't trust anything public in Nigeria.

That statement could have a different meaning for me o.

I wish OP success, but I don't know the market size of melon and how much profits one can generate from such a venture.

IbeOkehie:


All this nonsense with healthcare in Nigeria would be greatly improved in about 10 to 25 years if government, especially the Federal Government, would simply get out of the sector. Just get out, exit, wash their hands of it everything. Invite competent health standards organizations like JCHAO to do the regulation. Let the private sector take over and watch what will happen.

Nigerians love socialism so this is what they will always get.
Good Luck to Nigerians.

While we are both capitalists, privatising health care and education does not sit right with me. That is something I have wanted to converse with you - your penchant for privatising health care and education. Nigerians don't even have the money to pay for these services at public hospitals. Would they be able to pay when it is privatised? The same holds true for education. Unlike the US, where there are equally good public universities, most countries' top universities are publicly owned. So, why advocate for privatisation?

Let's look at Brazil, where education is free till the university level. There ought to be subsidies in certain sectors, of which education and health care are paramount.

How much is MRI?Sadiya Farooque alone stole billions of naria from social investment.Former accountant general of federation stole close to N200bn, Yahaya Bello alone stole N80.2bn ,Emefiele and his cohort also stole staggering amount of public funds via the ways and means and others. Even El-Rufai with $350m loan he took from World Bank couldn't spare some amount out of it to purchase functional MRI and dialysis machine for Barau Dikko Hospital which now serves as teaching hospital for Kaduna State University though he employed young experienced medical personnel but no functional facilities to work with.Nigeria needs total shift from corruption which has turned to norm,no one we do it for us until we arise and put an end to this nonsense most of us are feeling indifferent to.

Honestly, day by day, I am finding it difficult to blame the white man for our woes as most do. Was it the white man who said those people should pilfer money meant for the public good?

But as an investor, shouldn't you be the one pitching the idea to these hospitals? As it is, I don't think Nigerians are rich enough to patronise newer models of MRI machines. Second hand is the best. Also, we are dealing with a public institution here, so I am wary of the payment model. I prefer selling to them the machines, not on a subscription model. Buy and go. I can offer a warranty, but a subscription? No.

This is why people japa. When a doctor mentioned MRI here, I thought it would be a big deal, but he said it is available and the results would be issued in less than 30 minutes.

No wonder IbeOkehie said he trusts his life with the white man in the US. I seem to entrust my life to the Yamato people. Nigerian elites are cruel and unintelligent!

Black man get issue.

haybhi1:
Lol, UCH get MRI? How many top teaching hospitals get am for Naija?
MRI is an expensive diagnostic equipment. Our SR was telling us it costs about ₦2B to own one. People who can fix or produce it are rich automatically, these are stuff you should learn.

It's also a business idea that you buy this thing and put it in top teaching hospitals, if you're rich. A single diagnosis, using it goes for nothing less than 80k, and it's one of the unavoidable medical tools.

Thank me later.

Can the teaching hospitals actually pay for it? No be "come today, come tomorrow" for money?

Looking at the value of the naira, second hand MRI machines would be the best.

Tbh, I don't know the present price of sunflower seeds but should be around 50k per 100kg bag because the price moves closely with the price of soya beans. They are all oilseeds.
10 of 100kg bags make a ton which is 1000kg.
They are mostly weighed in 100kg per bag.

Most companies producing vegetable oil uses soya beans, palm oil, sesame seeds and groundnut seeds most.
And the byproduct also doesn't move well with Nigerian feedmillers unlike soya beans meal, groundnut cake. They mostly shy away from sunflower cake.

Thank you for the information.

You still remember my Huddersfield guy?

I do o.

Anytime I read certain tales, I am curious to know the beginning and the entire process. I am conversant with MBA and MSc studies' career paths, so I am very interested in the paths black Africans go on after their studies in the abroad.

This is a different guy, Coventry University and e sure me die that 70% that got enrolled into that University's MBA programs and Msc International Business Management between 2021 and early 2023 were Nigerians just as that University's Msc Global Health Management was the exclusive sure plug for Indian healthcare professionals: doctors, dentists, pharmacists, ophthalmologist etc to japa through student route, a course that was overpopulated as every 3 months, over a hundred of Indian healthcare professionals were trooping into Coventry for the course. Theirs makes sense as it was a transition route towards their professional accreditation to practice in the UK.

Well, Coventry University is not worth it, especially for an investment banker (are you sure he was an IBanker?) who wants to get an OK job in the UK. I understand the need for japa and all, but rather than an MBA from Coventry, an international certification like PMP, CFA, or even ACCA would have been better. I am really curious about the kind of deals or company(ies) he worked on/with as an IBanker while in Nigeria. Also, I can bet that Coventry University's MBA does not have GMAT as part of its entry requirements.

Medical courses are good regardless of the country. The Indians played a good game. British universities are making a killing in selling their overpriced higher education.

I won't lie, our saving grace is that we are single and did not borrow. If not eh

Mindlog:


Sadly, that is the reality on ground.

I boldly say majority of Nigerians who came to the UK through the study route, chose the "wrongest" courses!

Is it the same person who did MSc in Finance at Huddersfield? Because you mentioned MBA this time. And if the person is different, which university did this MBA dude study at?
