Clear signs of laziness and lack of innovation. There is competition in everything and everywhere, your ability to innovate and being consistent makes the difference.

Nigerians freelancers are still cashing out both platforms till date. You can also try different subreddit, on Reddit, or buy junior VIP on Blackhat world and apply or post for jobs.

A guy is using emotional tactics to build a list and source for jobs on Reddit. Something like this "Please I'm a Nigerian being pressured to go into fraud, and I don't want to do it, I have a skill but no job, please I will do this and that for so amount, give me a trial please, being a Nigerian is not a curse" people will then reply him, asking for DM out of sympathy.

Sorry for dragging you back. Do people really get jobs on Reddit? Can you give some hints pls?

Next time don't do that again ok, instead send the money to your guy,

Are you advising me or the poster.
He did no wrong as far as he told the boyfriend he was going to send money to his girlfriend in appreciation of her efforts and the said boyfriend went ahead to provide girlfriend's account number.
I see a lot of insecure folks up there.
I am done with this conversation anyway.

Fiscus105:
If this how you people think towards people, I pity who knows pity you. And I pity more, the poor lady who will end up in ur custody.


I can't count how many of my friends girlfriends and even wives, I have given money in the past, some, husbands/boyfriends aware, while some, my guys not even aware, they got to know wen I have left and appreciated me latter.

If you guys are having this type of mindset,why won't you be having problems in your relationships and little wonder you guys always conderm marriage.

I was becoming scared whether I'm not too old for this generation. As far as him collect the babe account number from the boyfriend hand and the boyfriend was also aware as the transaction was done in his presence, I see nothing wrong there.
But he shouldn't do it again.
All those guys yapping up there, so if your wife born pikin and your friends visit and come give the wife money for hand, na bad thing abi?

Toolegit123:
Good day everyone.

So recently I've been thinking about marriage. Tho I'm in a relationship but the woman I've been dating doesn't really seem to have the same serious interest and intentions like me. I've talked to her severally but it seems she isn't ready to settle down yet. Imagine this is someone whom I've gone to see her people and they know me well. My own people know her too. I've equally talked to her mom since she's the one parent she has . And had also talked to her best friend about it too.

But one thing I've noticed about her is that she's over religious and seems to be too close to her pastor. The last time I talked to her about the marriage stuff,she directed me to go and talk to her pastor. Tho I was initially furious about it but I just had to man up,kill my pride and decided to pay her pastor a visit.

From the conversation I had with her pastor,it seems he's one of the major stumbling blocks. Because he was only curious about my financial status he was even asking me what was my source of livelihood,and of which I told him. Afterwards,he then asked me what was my monthly salary. Saying if I'm sure I can take care of my fiancee with that amount,or if I'm planning to have a side hustle. That he doesn't want a case where any of her spiritual daughter will go into a marriage where she'll be suffering. I told her categorically clear that I'm not a lazy man and I don't intend to put anyone's daughter into suffering in the name of marriage.

It's been over a week since I left the pastor's office, and since then,my fiancee has been behaving so cold towards me.

So I don't know whether to continue with my proposal or I should just kindly look for another lady to marry.

Papa Ajasco doesn't even have a Korope to his name despite being a famous celebrity. I do see him around Shangisha or CMD Road on his Leggedez Benz trying to board public bus

It is fault. The man was and still remains immensely popular. I know actors may not be paid well but pa Ajasco has built a cult-like following and could have easily transitioned into the movie industry. I heard he was close to the president. He could have also try to reach tinubu. There would have been results.

richiemcgold:
I agree that Papa Ajasco is a copyrighted name which he can't use personally. But I disagree with the part of the agreement where he must seek official approval from WAP before accepting advert jobs. That's not a good agreement.

Modified:
Those quoting me don't understand my point. My opinion is based on what I would've done if I were in his shoes. I don't have to use the name for advert jobs, I will only maintain the same appearance of Papa Ajasco in every adverts I do. It is the name that is copyrighted, not my appearance.

Do you actually understand how copyright works? Even the looks was copyrighted. Before Wale came out with his response, I knew he wouldn't stop papa Ajasco from taking adverts job but will insist on a cut which is standard industry practice. My take was that papa Ajasco didn't do well. He could have easily transferred into the Yoruba movie industry, given his massive popularity and experience.

Victory662:
I recently bought a Toyota Corolla 2005 model, Nigerian used. Since then I've had this constant problem of hard starting. It's not very bad though, it picks after second or third kick, although in some cases it could be worse prompting my battery to run down.

I have explained the issue to about 4 mechanics, each of them telling me what they suspected could be the cause, I paid them and at the end of the day, nothing changed. I've spent over 300k on this very issue.

The only option I'm considering now is that of the latest mechanic that told me it could be fuel pump system pressure or electrical fault or both. I'm just afraid of spending money again because I'm already afraid it may not work.
So NL family, have your car ever had this "spiritual hard starting" problem? And how did u get out of it?

Get your care scanned by a competent technician. Don't do trial and error.

Kalulu44:
Good morning NL. I want us to calm down and discuss this topic very well. Do fake and expired products such as drugs and foods really harm us?
Let me start by laying some examples from my experiences. Firstly, I am not a drug/medicine/tablet taker or English medicine as most people call it. The only English medicine I take is blood tonic which was introduced to me some 10yrs ago by my late mum.
Apart from that, I prefer herbal medicine "agbo" than Panadol, paracetamol and co which has really helped me never to visit any hospital for over 30yrs and counting.
This blood tonic, sometimes I miss taking it for months and sometimes I take it steady for months. And with this I know how it works and improve my body when I do take it and how I emanciate if I don't take it.

Middle last year I was employed at a farm in a remote village in Ogun state. I couldn't find that blood tonic for over 2months, and luckily one day a guy started coming to the village on bike with pharmaceutical products and I asked for the blood tonic. He had it and when I asked for the price, he told me #1,600. I was shocked with the price cus I last bought in Lagos #2,500. I bought it and started using it. For the 6 months I spent in that village, I bought from him 4 times. And to be honest with you guys, the blood tonic works perfectly as it has been working for me over the years. But the unbeknown truth was that it was either fake or expired ones this guy is selling for me.
.
Fast forward to earlier this year I was transferred back to one of the city in Ogun state. I went to buy this same blood tonic, and was told it's now #3,500. I exclaimed to the chemist, that I just bought this same tonic for #1,600 some weeks ago, he told me that must have been fake or expired ones. I then told him but it works perfectly without any side effects. He couldn't say anything but "e dey be like that sometimes".
That's scenario 1.
Some years back in Oshogbo I was working in a drink, wine and beverage store.

The owner of the store gives us most of the drinks to drink when they're about to expire or has expired.
There's a store where we keep drinks that has expired, and you can go take as much as you want. Though the owner always tells us to dispose of them if we don't want them.

We take as much as we can and dispose the ones we can. All thru my working there, not me nor any of my other colleagues complain of bad health, stomach pain or any other side effects pertaining to those expired products we used to take.
That's scenario 2.
Apart from this two scenarios, we or should I say I must have eating and drank so many things out there without knowing they're fake or has expired. And I still lived on strong and in good health.
I was born and brought up in Lagos, I can confidently say 50% of majority of things we eat and drink in Lagos are either fake, expired or adurturated. Why bcus I know majority of places this fake and adurturated products are being produce. But with this fake products seemingly out there in millions, Lagosians still survive and go about their daily activities as if nothing is happening. God forbid bad thing, if truly those expired and fake products are truly bad for health, won't we be hearing and seeing thousands of death everyday?
.
Sometimes a product been cheaper than the original one doesn't mean it's fake, just that another company tries to produce another one affordable to the common man.
My best cola drink is coca cola, but they're different and affordable cola drinks in the market for those that can't afford coca cola.
So are other products out there which are inferior to the ones we thought it to be but affordable, does that make the inferior ones fake or not good for consumption?
Some families can no longer afford beverages like Milo, Bournvita, Peak Milk and co. But they're many alternatives out there that are cheaper and at the end of the day you that used Milo drank tea, and they too drank tea. Tea na tea!
My last thought, I am not in any way supporting fake and adurturated products, but with the prevailing economic hardship, I don't think we can do without them.
As far as they're not causing harm to us.
I made this post in respect to the thread of Nigeria customs seizing containers of fake goods worth over #6b.
The irony of it is, yes they're fake according to the customs. But will they destroy it, I am very sure 90% they won't.
They'll still recycle it and sell to their cronies and it will still flood the market.
.
So guys I wanna hear your take on this issue regarding fake and expired products to our health and economy at large.

To answer your question, that a drug or product has expired doesn't mean it becomes bad immediately. What the manufacturer is only trying to say is that from this point forward, they cannot guarantee the wholesomeness of the product because it will start deteriorating gradually. Which may not be immediate. I have taken stuffs that have recently passed their expiry date without any issue though I am not asking anyone to do so.
As for fake drugs, that's a different issue entirely. It depends on the basic chemical compounds/ constituents. If it is harmful then it could spell problem but people should avoid fake products by all means necessary. By the way, I'm a Toxicologist.

You seem to be mute to your story of the kidnapper as well or else what did you do to help? Did you help pay the ransom.

Sometimes I wonder how I ended up in this enclave called Nigeria with people who think like this. How am I to help a kidnapped victim? By tracking the kidnappers with state-of-the-art technology? Or by raising a team of armed, special forces to go into the forest and extinguish the kidnappers and retrieve the victim? How do you propose I help exactly?
Oh! you said raising ransom. Look round the globe and show me any right-thinking nation that pays ransom to rag-tag kidnapers. Your president has failed woefully and your brain is under your slippers. EOD.

The social media governor of abia state will soon find a way to claim FG projects as one of his achievement.

Once it is a thread like this, all of you will jump out and start foaming in the mouth. But i took my time to go through the thread where someone was kidnapped, almost died but managed to escape. All of you went mute there. This evil you people are sowing for a meagre pot of measly porridge, go choke Una. Whatever a man sows he shall reap. Mark my word!
Some supporters of this terrible government have already started tasting their own medicine. Make Una no worry, karma get all of Una address.

GloriousGbola:
actually this is on Abiodun Ayoyinka

he ws supposed to leverage on his role as papa ajasco to boost hid career

arnold schwazeneger is known as the terminator but he does not have the rights to the character and he has a resume outside of those roles
same for daniel radcliffe [harry potter]
there are multiple entertainers who killed it in a role and then moved on to other franchises.
multiple people have played spiderman, thor, incredible hulk.

papa ajasco is a one off, not a lifetime of eating.

sad story but it is what it is. abiodun adeyinka typecasted himself

He could have transitioned into the Yoruba movie industry.

So yourpeople shouldn’t be reported for their incessant misbehavior tarnishing Nigeria's image

Hiding their bad acts is "improving" Nairaland. No wonder you guys are ALWAYS behind.

I am beginning to see why we are where we are as a country. Take a look at all that guy's thread. That's is his mission here. I'm not against that type of reportage but when someone goes out every day looking for new like that, then it becomes a personal vendetta. Mind you, every tribe does crime too and I am not in support of anyone. Period.

blessgreg:
Thank God for vindicating you prof. Sometimes gang ups and hatred makes people quick to vilify u. But posterity has a way of vindicating the innocent. U were one of my best among few back then during my Msc in UST. God bless u my prof

Seems you are the only person singing his praise. Others feel otherwise. They claim he was an extortionist and sex-for--grade lecturer

KobolanderSegun:
You cannot say that . crime is committed in every geographic zone of Nigeria. So criminals come from everywhere. Stop taking it personal

Take a look at the guys thread before reacting. I really don't bother about such but there are people who are not discerning enough to understand this is a well calculated ploy to tarnish the reputation of a tribe

Crying? I laugh. I'm a proud, successful and hardworking Igbo man. It baffles me why someone will wake up everyday and be consumed by a hatred for a particular tribe. You have dried up and completely shrivelled as a result of this crusade.
For everyone Igbo person you see in crime, there are thousands of successful Igbo Men working legitimately.
Continue your crusade bro.

Seun and other mods (I really don't know your names; nlpfmod) you were asking in one of your threads on. Front page about things to improve nairaland and things that brings the site down. This is on of them. I have noticed over the years that this particular person scours for news all over the world to find anything on Igbos that is detrimental and a mod mod always push it to front page. It's laughable that an individual will devote his entire life looking for news that will bring a particular tribe down.

Something that is very valuable and marketed globally since
Tell me what hindered Nigeria since

Is it white men that refused to give us seeds of the crop since or we refused to bring it to Nigeria?

Useless country.

The palm oil we were once a champion in, other countries don take over.

Even maize, we cannot be top growers.

Something is very wrong with Nigeria

Na only cassava we sabi pass for garri
Because of poverty mindset

Not really. It was said the weather conditions were not favourable for this particular crop as it requires a specific range of conditions to thrive. We were taught this in school during our brewing classes.

Very good then........... Now that Nigerian flag is hoisted on mount Kilimanjaro we will begin to witness a positive turn to our economy. At least cement should go back to 2400 while fuel be selling at 180 per liter.

My brother you took my mind back. In 2020 when I was living in one small community and fuel rose to 180, I was filled with intense worrying. When there was a rumour that it will creep up to 250 per litre, I am almost passed out with fear. Today, Tinubu and his band of ravagers have taken it above the 1,000 mark. I bought it 1300 yesterday.

This Moghalu always likes hyping - So, "friends from all over the world". had to call you to express their reservation about the performance of BWALA?

Agreed that BWALA messed up, big time, Muoghalu should spare us that lamba!

Friends calling you about an interview, botched by the presidential spokesman

Is that impossible? A couple of my friends who are in the diaspora have raised this conversation with me. Moghalu is a much global entity so it is not out of the ordinary for friends to call him

I hear it's much harder in the east. Back in 2011 in Nsukka it costed around 2m to drill for a power plant that was built around the university

Yea it is. Same thing in edo state too. Doing bore hole in these areas are massive projects. When i am ready, my God will enable me.

techbro1:
Omo. I miss when the country was somewhat easier. My parents drilled their borehole for 120k in total. Can't even expect to see that today

I did one about three years ago for 180k. A friend did around 70k many years ago. All in Warri delta state. The water was just under the surface. Even trying to dig holes to install a clothes line hanger brought up water.
I dread the bill i will get when i will do for my house in the village in the east.
