All I kept reading was "we prayed, we prayed, and we prayed".

When you keep praying, and nothing seems to happen, isn't that an obvious sign that this activity is futile?

I don't know why we Africans always refuse to seek professional help, but rather waste our time and resources on con men parading themselves as pastors, prophets, and ministers.

If your business starts going down, there is always a logical explanation.

1. Is there a new competitor in town?

2. Is there a new trend that's trying to murder the business model you're operating with?

3. What's the difference between old and returning customers?

4. Is there a new product or service that is threatening what you offer?

5. Do you need to buff up your marketing strategies to meet the current digital world?

6. Are your employees competent and best qualified for their positions?

7. What are your threats and weaknesses, and what are your plans to mitigate them?

We can as well say that Nokia failed because of one babalawo in New York. But in reality, they failed cause they evolved into the smartphone market too late.

If there is a decline in output, your job as a business owner is to trace the root cause of the problem and fix it, not run from one church to the other.

Running a business isn't easy, that's why you need to work with experts, the right team! When every department works flawlessly for a common goal, even the devil can't do a thing even if he exist. You get what you put in! It's a universal law!


The hard truth is, no one was after your father's business, and no one is after your education either.

They planted a thought in your head, in the head of your family and you lots allowed it to germinate, to grow, and become a massive tree that cannot be cut down.

The mind is powerful!

I only wish you wisdom and knowledge!

When I became a contributor at Forbes and Entrepreneur.com, I didn't make this much noise. Anyway, congrats, sir.

In Nigeria, a minor is under 18.

Did I say otherwise?

Chii59:
Enjoy? Having sex with minors who aren't old enough to compartmentalise their feelings and channel their emotions is now "enjoyment".
Issokay.

Where am I encouraging him to deal with a minor? Read with your brain, not without out.

OP, I think you love girls in uniforms, especially secondary school uniforms. It's a fetish and it's absolutely normal. It doesn't mean you're a pedo until you start dealing with a minor. Always ask for their age, as these big girls can be 13 years old to your surprise. Lastly, always wear a helmet. Enjoy sir!

Kaycee7:
No. Abandon it and find something else to watch.

Thanks for your blunt response

Someone that was being 400 USD a year to teach. Where's he gonna get the laptop or the electricity to do that? His house isn't connected to the national grid.


The greatest crime that can befall anyone is to be born in third world African shitholes. Seriously it's a crime to be born a Nigerian. The country has absolutely no opportunities for its young people. Brilliant people are all wasting away. What a country.

I wish this post can make front page. Maybe we'll meaning Nigerians can contribute for him to take the necessary exams for a scholarship. The outside world needs this guy.

You hit the nail on the head. A major challenge for people who wish to go digital here in Nigeria is lack of electricity, and the expensive nature of laptops.

Drwinz:
That's the way God created your cranium to function, so let people who is business driven reply my message.
I dunno why assholes like you always reply negative feedback on nairaland because of your one or two affiliated microcephalic issues

I asked a simple question, you ended up abusing my being and personality.

Is that how you respond to questions? With abuse?

That says a lot about who you are.

Thanks!

Drwinz:
Honestly, I dunno why my fellow Nigerian youths failed to understand that job cannot make you wealthy but will only give you what to spend.
With 50k guys, you can start to grow in business like foodstuffs, clothing and jewelry.
I swear it down that if you try it you will regret ever carrying CV and building whatever LinkedIn profile for a job.
In business, you grow money not spending money.

Must everyone start a business?

Just started watching Warrior. Currently on episode 4. There is nothing peculiar with this series, and the protagonist's acting is below average to say the least. The only thing I enjoy is the fighting scene. Currently considering not wasting further MB downloading the remaining episodes on torrent, or do I need to be more patient?

RenaissanceGuy:
I see this everyday and I'm somehow surprised why people do this. Some even use the love reaction on their own posts. Is that not very childish and immature or is there something I'm missing?

You sound insecure. There is nothing wrong with liking your own post, for as long as the feature is there.

Well, that's for fans of social media. We dumped that shit years ago.

Jannuxajj:
Can you explain somethings to me sir I really want to learn

I've edited my comment. Read again!

The route you're chasing is filled with loneliness, depression and unhappiness.

That is because you've made money the focus of your life, which is tricky cause no one has ever had enough of it.

Take our politicians for example. Despite the billions in their account, they keep looting and indulging in a lot of money laundry.

Money is good, but it wouldn't make you any happier than you already are.

What you need as a human is a roof over your head, a means of transport, food families and friends.

You should work toward sustainable living, not aiming to own the world or be like what you see on social media.

A man with 200k in his account can be happier and contented than Bill Gates.

Don't allow money to rob you! It's just a tool and nothing else. Gladly, you don't need too much of it to survive.

I'm not saying you shouldn't make money, please do. What skill do you have? What business idea is burning inside of you?

Make a plan and start... Take it as you contributing to the planet, playing your part. Money will come when you stop chasing it!

In as much as I support your community, this attention-seeking syndrome is now getting appalling.

You are not the first and wouldn't be the last intersex. Can you please love yourself without having to rub it on our faces?

We all have issues; no one has it all. We mustn't have a dick and a pussy to experience the bitter side of life.

Love yourself, and stop seeking validation and attention on a faceless forum. It shows you're depressed and the opposite of what you claim.

Thank you!

Cannabis is now legalized in most countries and definitely wouldn't have landed him into any trouble, unless he traveled with more than the recommended ounce.

hush15:
You that sabi everything, oya write us a bible on journalism

You're infuriated based on the fact that the journalist tried to uncover the past of the acclaimed pastor.

Giving background information of a subject under study is a very effective tool in journalism as it not only tells us more about the subject, but reminds readers of his involvement in a past incident.

The more information a journalist can uncover on a subject, the better. It doesn't matter if it's past, present, or the future for as long as there are empirical facts.

There is no room for sentiments!

hush15:
Junk journalism. It is because of this type of journalism that folks like ffk will always insult journalist.

When you given a report, give a report. What is our own with he slept with his church members. Stale news and we gone past that. If God can forgive him, who am in the scheme of things.

He expressed his opinion, I don't what that has got to do with the members he slept with.


Nonsense

You know nothing about journalism. Stop embarrassing yourself here.

Typical Nigerian! Even the Englishman is still learning English, stop behaving as if it equates to intelligence.

With this kind of deception, tell me which individual that will employ you into his company? Better borrow some sense!

WoundedLamb:
This is not a gender thing, Oga. The men aren't any better. You guys should stop reasoning like prehistoric people!

Exactly. Let's bring Mr. President Buhary on a seat and ask him questions. Let's see if he wouldn't embarss himself without these transcripts.

C'mon, take a look at functional brain presidents likes Trump. Those that can give you the facts about the economy's financial stand.

What does Buhari know? He doesn't even have standard six certificate. We are been ruled by a mentally decapitated man, who once was strong, but now frail to manipulation by men behind the curtain.

He's doing more sleeping than any President in the world.

So that you'll sale me the inferior jersey abi? Then tell me that jersey na jersey?

You are definitely not an igbo man!

PreyingMantis:
This is total bullshit! Who are you trying to impress? Okezie Ikpeazu might not have done well as a governor but he's definitely not the worst. He's better than many of his colleagues in the North and the South-West. The fact you hear about his incompetence is because we call him out. What about those that refuse to call out their governor's? Does it mean they're doing well?

Electricity generation belongs to the FG. Must you come here and display your ignorance for the whole world to see? Most of the bad roads in Abia State are Federal roads. Blame the Nigerian government that seeks to perpetually strangulate the South-East.

Please when next you intend to write nonsense, get your facts right. By the way, what part of Abia are you from? Let's begin from there

I don't converse with hostile touts. Look for another NLder.

spy24:
No be only

The harder you try to prove it shows that you are not ibo

Nothing to prove. This is just an honest assessment of Abia state, and the aim is to see development. I have no reason to undermine the state!

spy24:
You are not Igbo

You wan just cause headache for this thread


I'm not Igbo but I've been to abia it's not as bad as you are trying to make it look
It's certainly not the worst state in Nigeria

When you Don marry pack your wife and children and go and live in yobe maybe that's when you will understand the definition of worse

I'm from Abia, a bu kwa m nwa afo igbo

Never in my life did I imagine that I'll be doing this, I mean, writing about the small dark in Nigeria - Abia State.

This small state, located in the south eastern region of Nigeria is allocated more than 70 billion naira annual, yet still lack back amenities such as electricity, pipe water, i better not talk about the road.

The last time I traveled to Abia, it was during the last Christmas holiday. I needed to visit my siblings, as they were the only relations I have. Also, I wanted to explore.

I enjoyed my trip, but I wouldn't forget how abia state greeted me. When I entered the capital state of Abia State, I was greeted with utter darkness.

The disfigured tower that seems to have seen better days, had something best described as a damaged but flicking light that exposes 'welcome to abia state' sent chills down my spine.

For a moment, it was as if I've entered an alternate dimension, cause even the atmosphere felt strange.

This is the chill you get, when power is being circulated around by corrupt past and present governor.

Okezie Ikpeazu said he was in Bondage, and that was the reason he didn't perform in his first tenure. He has been reelected, but what has he done?

There is no industry, factory, or big business that can employ the youths over there. The only viable job for the youths is timber. If you're lucky to be a sales girl or boy, you wouldn't earn more than #10,000 a month.

Instead of developing abia state, they are looting the allocations, no proper accountability or transparency.

Orji Uzo Kalu who was convicted of looting billions of naira, and even sentenced to serve in years. But look at him, out in months and the populace doesn't know why or want to know.

This state needs saving. It's killing dreams. I couldn't survive two weeks in Umuahia, the capital of Abia state.

I need electricity to work, and they lack it. It's affecting small scale businesses. I made some research and discovered that the expenses on fuel alone runs in millions to keep a standard fast food restaurant running.

AyarmBoye:
lols the series make sense but to compare with walking dead... kingdom zombies even made me laugh ... I wasn’t even moved at all .. but not bad sha

Walking dead is incredible, but I lost interest around season 5 or thereabout. They weren't bringing in anything new, and the way they were killing my favorite characters was insane. When Rick left, the show finally ended for me.

kay29000:
"Why are people recycling poverty." I really wonder. It's so crazy. You're suffering, you now bring more people to the world to suffer. It doesn't make sense to me.

And someone was telling me on another thread how it is a privileged to be born. These 4 kids by this cripple, do you think it's a privilege for them to be born? Inside life!

Shukusheka:
This one hasn't seen life yet. You think everything is theory where you will just plan this, say this, think this and everything would just fall in place. Even top celebrities in America with a wider audience, with bigger influence, and a market with higher disposable income go broke let alone here in Nigeria where everything can go wrong for you at the blink of a eye.

My friend, what sets the successful from the unsuccessful is what they know - information. If you have more than 100k followers, pm me and I'll link you up with sponsorship deals.

It's not luck or magic! When you understand your industry and play the ball well, you cash out.

You think I'm typing all these without first having first hand experience about the influencer industry?

I don't like arguing with your NLders, always feeling intimidated instead of calming down to learn.

Angelfrost:
Interesting... I guess it comes down to the versatility and professionalism of the actor in question.

Exactly.

Silentgroper:
If you have common sense, attraction spelt in all caps, should hav giving u a clue dat it's d key word in dat post.
Y'all hurts d society nd d universe bcuz ur lots are trying to shove an anomaly down our throats, thereby exposing d anomaly to d coming generation. Which is what some of us are trying to prevent.

These so called gays where subjected to straight romance on screens almost all their entire life. Why didn't they become straight?

It isn't abnormality, it's nature at PLAY! A straight child will always remains straight, it doesn't matter the amount of times he's exposed to gay activities.

Just as you didn't choose to be straight, the same way they didn't choose to be gay. If only you could use a little percentage of your brain capacity, you'll learn that human sexuality is one of the things beyond the control of the organism.

Gays are not trying to shove their sexuality down your throat, they are merely asking to be given the right and freedom to be who they are.

Just as you have no problem marrying any lady of your choice, they are asking you also to allow them to marry any man of their choice without your lots vibrating likes fools. Do you get the gist now?

I wish I can further lecture you on human sexuality, but I don't have that time. You have an internet enabled device, open your dogmatic mind and try to learn. The world doesn't revolve around your belief, culture, view or you as a person.

If I may ask, how do gays hurt the universe?

Silentgroper:
I'm talking abt d ATTRACTION towards d lil girl being nt about who giving consent nd who's gettin one.

please learn.

If you have common sense, you wouldn't equate two consenting adults with one who rapes a minor.

A pedo hurts the minor and causes long term trauma.

You may not be in control of how you feel, but you're in control of your actions, especially when it hurts the other party.

Gays, on the other hands, are consenting adults hurting no one. Are they hurting you? LEARN young man!
