 Phones › Re: The type of phone you use is a reflection of who you are. by GreatManBee: 11:00pm On Jan 04, 2016 |
Toks2008:
Phones they say are just necessities and not luxury but in many parts of the world especially in Nigeria, many people see phones as luxury and they tend to want to use the very expensive ones even when they can't afford it and knowing fully well that any phone can be stolen no matter how well you guard it.This has made me believe that indeed the type of phone we use goes a long way to tell us about who we are.
Some will say its a gift but then most times,the source of the gift is also a pointer to your personality So if you meet any guy or lady,it is very easy to know their personality just by taking a look at the cost of the phone the person uses in comparison with the person's financial status especially in Nigeria..How?
1.A Guy or lady who works but uses an expensive phone that costs higher than their monthly salary is wasteful.
2.A jobless lady who uses an I-phone 6 or very expensive phone is either a runs girl or has rich parents while a jobless guy who uses an I-phone 6 or a very expensive phone must be a yahoo guy or has very rich parent.
3.A gainfully employed man or woman who uses phones quite cheaper than their monthly salary is very prudent.
4.People who brag about their love for expensive phones irrespective of their income are proud and extravagant.
5.A very financially ok person who uses phones less than 10k is very secretive and could be hiding something.
6.Anyone who uses a phone that is binded by rubber or taped is terribly broke.
You can add yours... |

| Jobs/Vacancies › Re: The One Golden Rule Every CV Must Follow by GreatManBee: 3:52pm On Jan 04, 2016 |
Handsome1:
There have been tons and tons of How-tos on crafting a winning CV that will be just too perfect to be ignored by potential employers. Now, that’s all good stuff. But as with every form of knowledge, there is a basic, rudimentary and golden rule upon which the entire body lies. That one thing you can say is unarguable – the truth (if there’s any such thing).
As far as writing a great CV is concerned, there’s just ONE GOLDEN RULE..not two or three, just ONE: “If it will not help you get that job, don’t put it in your CV.”
Now this may go off as a no-brainer, but you really have to see a typical CV of a job applicant in Nigeria to appreciate the wisdom laden in this statement. Details like marital status, state of origin, religion, ethnic group, LGA of origin etc will not help you get a job. If anything, they will greatly hurt your chances of even landing an interview.
How so? There are number of reasons, but I’ll stick to one which I think you may easily relate to. While merit is a major factor in recruitment, we cannot overlook individual sentiments and differences in the different choices of employers and recruiters. Different people have different predilection, and sensitive details such as where you come from, what religion you profess, your marital status, tribe, age and co should be completely removed from your CV. I hope you catch the drift. In addition, these details have nothing to do with your skills, experiences and ability to deliver on the job, so why add them to your CV.
There are other factors that you must consider in crafting a great CV, but this one rule is essential.

Ymodulus:
Importation Contract Version.
I did a detail explanation of this business on this thread. I explained everything.
My experience:
I did souvenirs for the Peoples democratic party Minna Chapter. Governorship Aspirant for 2015 elections.
Alh. Umaru Nasko.
I knew his personal assistant. I also act like a boy boy to them loading recharge card , running errands.
Deals settled for party.
1. Flash Drive
I imported going to 2000 piecs of Flash Drive. The drives were Toshiba chip. They cost around N520 to get in as at that time for 4Gig , 8Gig , 16Gig via expressed
Corruption played
* I told the officials that a flash drive will cost 1000 per piecewe negotiated to around 900 and something I can't recall. However on the receipt I signed that eache flash drive were N1300 / Piece
* We budgeted for 16Gig, the person who gave me the contract ask me to mix 16Gig with 4 Gig and we cut the other money. I had no choice. I even went ahead to make 16Gig only 20Pieces and mix 8 Gig and 4Gig all together.
* I told them Samsung chip glad drive better than Toshiba and expensive than Toshiba by N40Naira. I was paid for Samsung.
But I imported Toshiba and ate the N40 naira each. There was no way of verifying. Don't blame me. Blame the assistant who granted me the Job.
Matches Box
We brought in 10,000pieces customised of Governor's aspirant pictures.
Each match box was 45 Naira a piece. I made sure I added 10 naira of my own gain to it. The matches were distributed to Guni Local Government area. When you going to Kogi from Minna following Laipai area. You will pass this local government.
Hand Bands
Can't recall quantity but I think around 5000. However I can't recall exact quantity. A band goes for N250. They were glow in the dark bands.
Jacquard ( those stuff football fans cross around their neck in times of cold )
On the receipt I wrote 1000pcs of 95% fur jacquard. However I did mix up below par.
In the game of politics, your superiors wants to eat and you too have to play wise and eat too.
Customised Native cloth with Governors Picture
Hahaha. The name of the tailor is even Buhari and we were die hard supporters of the Buhari. However we had to eat our own share of the local cake.
Today we still hangout when am in town.
So sad, while I was an APC - Buhari Die Hard, I wanted Pdp to win in Niger State for personal reasons.  .
But Apc ended up winning. Even though I have close ties to both parties state members, I enjoyed that of PdP well.

| Webmasters › Re: 10 Things You Must Have And Do Before Applying For Adsense by GreatManBee: 7:05pm On Jan 01, 2016 |
Mediapace:
These are the ten basic fundamentals you must know before Applying for google Adsense :
1.You must have Enough original contents : :
Nowadays,website owners are lazy,they only do copy and paste from one site to another,before applying for adsense,you need at least 35 original contents in your website,even if you want to do copy and paste,make them minimal ,if you post copy and paste contents,to google it løoks like spamming their website,Some webmasters even go to the extent of copying and pasting without putting the Original website link.
Stop it Now .
2.Pageviews : Though,Google Adsense doesn't use traffic to rank Who they give adsense codes to,you still need it,you need at least 5,000 page views per month due to my own experience,even if google accept you with less traffic,who will click the Ads?
3.Perfect load time :- Don't destroy your webpages with irrelevant images that increases load time,google Adsense bot hate sites that inconvenient members
4.Domain Age :-
Your domain age must not be less than 6 Months before applying here in Nigeria,the reason is that some websites decieve adsense team by applying with other domain and after getting the adsense code,put it into theirs.
5.Important Navigation pages :
These pages:
* About us
*Terms and conditions
*our Rules should also be there, it is one of the main key objects google uses to consider applicants,it mostly fits at the footer and must be at the footer of your page before applying
6.Remember to remove all other third party ads before applying :
Adsense wants no competition,remember to remove all other third party ads before applying and not even infolinks,though infolinks can still stay
7.You site must be Users friendly :
Your site must have a very good design and not colour riot,Make your design good before applying.
8.Don't buy traffic : Buy Traffic is an illegal act that adsense bot hate seeing,your website traffic must be legal i.e. Gained from good source !
9.Your website posts must have images : Images sometimes give answers to topics without even reading,make your contents rich in image and don't misuse it by ading more than enough
10.webmsasters, add yours "Our list is incomplete without your help
Note : Adsense terms changes everyday

| Business › Re: 5 Creative Way To Make Money In 2016 Without Any Capital Investment by GreatManBee: 3:11pm On Jan 01, 2016 |
biz9ja:
Firstly, let me wish you a Happy New year and it is my prayer that in this 2016 may we all enjoy good health, Make Money and catch fun.
For me the year 2015 was a great wonderful year though storms arose but God never allowed it to destroy me, i know you also had wonderful memories of events and terrific occurrence that happened during the last year but let us forget the past and face the today's business which is 2016.
Many of us couldn't achieve our 2015 financial resolution not because we are lazy or lack of good innovations or ideas but as many of my colleagues then will say "I have an Idea, but no capital",this was also my best quote or best excuse for not taking bold steps whenever am faced with issues related to my financial status. Although, i have moved over that bad mindset now and changed the kind of life and people i share and discuss my ideas with.
Today i will like to show you 5 good creative business you can venture into without capital, these business does not really require special knowledge or expertise but you have to grow up and sharpen your skills
1. Blogging
I know few of you reading this now, the word 'Blog', 'Blogging' or 'Blogger' is not a new ideology or terms especially when bloggers are making millions doing what they love when they like. Though many in the IT world makes blogging look too complex for interested newbie to start a blog. The good news is Anyone whether old or young, educated or non educated inasmuch you have a genuine reason why you want start one and it is free. People like Linda Ikeji, Jide ogunsanya and my humble self earn from our blogs, so why not decide to know about blogging and start today.
2. Sell for others
Recently, I was in camp for the RCCG annual congress where i met a young beautiful lady who is a student with a strong desire to succeed . While discussing with her i discovered she has nobody to sponsor her tertiary education but she has been coping by selling a mixed fruit package produced by a woman back home in Jos. Many are blessed with good marketing skills that can convince an Eskimo to buy Ice so if you are one this people instead of waiting for that white collar Job while not start utilizing that skill to make cool cash for yourself.
3. Teaching
Am not here to advice you to take up a secondary school teaching job that will end up paying you 10k or 30k at the end of the month. We are in an information era where people scout for information, apart from blogging i am an information marketer, i sell what i know or have learnt and people pay me well especially for my money making materials, you too can also venture into this it very easy my friend.
4. Real Estate Agent
I know many are familiar with this business,i mean if you are reading from Nigeria you should have come across those sharp fellows we call the caretakers. It will cost you nothing to start this but you have to inform with vacant apartment and also tell your friends and family about your status as a caretaker to get free referrals.
5. Help People looking for Jobs
Now you are also looking a good Job or maybe you are an underpaid employee, money can still be made. Yes! this is not about scamming others by sharing Job offers that don't exist but do you know many job applicants are damn confuse about how to write a good Curriculum Vitae (CV) or don't just know Job interview ethics? Well am one of the few that makes stipends doing this. You can as well start this too.
Hope this really helps.

emusmith:
Sub-Topic
10 Areas Guys And Ladies Should Work on In Their Relationship (Emusmith Vs Oliviarism)
Hi everyone. In few hours time, we will be entering into the New Year. Looking back, there were pleasant and unpleasant scenarios in our relationships.
Oliviaarims and I, Emusmith, in this Collabo-thread wants to pinpoint some areas in our relationships, both Guys and Ladies should pay closer attention to in this coming year 2016.
Without much ado, from the Guy's Angle I'll list 10 areas:
Guy's Angle:
1. Guys, devote more time to understanding your lady.
Different strokes for different chicks. She needs you to understand what she isn't saying. If you love her, you will won't fail her.
2. Don't take her love for granted
If you think you can now misbehave just because you've gotten her to fall in love with you; that's childish and immature, with all due respect. Instead, love her and say it often. That fertilizes relationships.
3. Be open to your girl.
Let her trust you. Lying tells her you ain't ready to trust her. Start from the small things to the big ones.
4. Don't be a player who sleeps around: but one that takes responsibility
Don't be a "player" who sleeps around. Responsibility is one thing you can't dodge if you wanna tread this path.
5. Arguing with her is an error.
Ignore her rash words. Ladies can talk. Two wrongs can't make a right. Be the man. Be the bigger person.
6. Enticing her with money and not being able to maintain that is foolishness
I would suggest you be plain and not exaggerate. Let her know your worth when you notice her commitment to the relationship.
7. Surprises can be wrongly-timed
She likes surprises but ensure it's at the right time. Don't take her to a place without pre-informing her of "her roles". That's will be an embarrassment.
8. Spend on her
Have you heard? You can give without loving but you can't love without giving. If you love her, you won't have to let her ask everything. If you're not giving her, you're giving someone else.
9. Effective Communication
Talk to her before making major/minor decisions. It tells her you care. Sometimes say, "I'm telling you firsthand, haven't told anyone else." She becomes you confidante. Your shelter, so to speak.
10. Learn not to remind her of her past when there is a quarrel
This is so unfair. Nothing hurts as much as this. Let her know that you love her despite her past life. Please do.
Thank you. #Hands the mic over to Olivia#
Olivia: Yes, nice points. 
Relationships are a vital part of human existence, man necessarily being a social animal.
It's however a bit unfortunate that some people just don't seem to get it right. They go into countless relationships, which almost never lasts longer than the flicker of a candle light before it dies off.
From the Girl's Angle.
1. Be Indispensable:
Don't make yourself unnecessarily scarce, because soon enough, he'll fill up the role you were supposed to be playing. That holds him down.
2. Be Polite.
Some girls are just naturally rude and uncourteous in their manner of talking. Know how to make your requests, without making them sound like commands.
3. Be Calm
Listen. When there's an argument between u two and he's saying something, that shouldn't be the time for u to be struggling to be heard too. Remain calm and allow him finish talking before u say your piece.
4. Apologize.
When u find out that you're at fault, be quick to apologise and do it with all sincerity.
5. Make an effort to be truthful.
The more lies u tell, the less likely he'll trust u. But when u make it a point of duty to tell the truth always, he'd always give u the benefit of doubt whenever something fishy comes up.
6. Make him your buddy.
Make your significant other your realest buddy. Begin to see him as a friend. Tell him everything that can be told, even if it seems irrelevant. It would make for better understanding, closer bond,things to always talk about and fun in your relationship.
7. Don't flaunt your toasters in his face.
He already knows that you're bound to have a couple of guys wooing u. You could even discuss some of them with him and laugh together over funny pick up lines. But know the difference between telling him about your toasters for the sake of fun and flaunting it in his face to make him feel jealous and insecure.
8. Watch his ego in public.
When he's in public with you or in a gathering of friends, be careful what u say or do. It would be really embarrassing if you ignore him and perhaps turn your attention elsewhere. Let him have your full attention always. Try to take his side and defend him in an argument.
9. Pay Close attention to the things he always wants you to do and those he doesn't want.
Being in a relationship is very much about compromise. Definitely, there would be certain things you do which pisses him off and which he's made known to you. Work on avoiding doing these things and instead doing the things he likes.
10. Lastly, quit the "forming."
Like seriously, we girls like to form a lot. I agree it's necessary in certain occasions, but there's really no need doing that with your significant other. Let him know that you're his "personal person".. No styling, no fronting. Feel free to fart in his presence (but please, not after eating beans and egg). Eat eba with him. Get into a bus with him if he can't afford a cab at that point in time.. Go to the market with him to buy foodstuffs. Buy ur ice-fish freely. U can't cook with chicken and beef all the time.
Above all, try to be original and have the mindset of making your relationship work. The mind really, is the starting point.
Emusmith: Well said Oliviaarims, the mind is the starting point. Love starts from the mind and ends through our actions. In this year, 2016, let's do all we can to making sure our relationships stay stronger, heading towards marriage.
Happy New Year in advance! |
| Jobs/Vacancies › Re: How To Find Unadvertised Jobs Using Google by GreatManBee: 6:11pm On Dec 31, 2015 |
bodeoni:
Most job openings at most companies go unadvertised—that is, they're posted on their site, but they're not farmed out to recruiters or posted on massive job boards. That also makes them harder to find. Thankfully, Google can do the job for you. Use these search strings to uncover matching gigs.
The market for new jobs is so competitive that most companies don't see a need to spend a ton of money hiring third-party recruiting firms or posting their jobs to the top of big job boards just to get candidates to apply. Between internal referral programs and word-of-mouth, posting a job to the company's "Careers" page is usually enough. To uncover those unadvertised openings, all you need is a little Google-fu. The folks at the Glassdoor Blog explain that all you need to do is cast your net over the major employee applicant tracking systems that companies use to post and manage responses to their job postings
Do you know what an applicant tracking system is? Wikipedia defines it as “a software application that enables the electronic handling of recruitment needs.” As a jobseeker, you refer to it as the electronic blackhole that eats up resumes. Specifically, it’s the system you interact with when you apply for a job on a company careers website. One of the more popular applicant tracking systems is produced by a company called “Taleo.”
With a little help from Google, you will be able to search company websites that are using the Taleo system. In this way, you will be able to find jobs that are not posted on (insert leading job board name here) and have an edge on your competition. Let me show you how.
In the Google search below, I am asking Google to look only on the Taleo.net website (where their system hosts various unadvertised jobs that are typically obtainable when a jobseeker does a search on a company’s careers website). I do this when I search: “site:taleo.net” Afterward, I ask Google to find only those webpages that have “careers” in the title. This is what “intitle:careers” means. Finally, I add in the job title “programmer” because that is the job I am looking for. Of course, just adding a job title is giving me too many broad results. I narrow it down by adding more keywords like “SAS” and “macro.”
In short, to search all sites using Taleo, for example:
site:taleo.net intitle:careers JOBTITLE OTHERIMPORTANTWORDS
Repeat the process for any other applicant tracking systems you know are in wide use, like Kenexa's BrassRing (brassring.com) for example.

Abomination! Abomination!
The wails of the unborn babies heard,
Their future mother a cause of tears,
My village, now immorality dent,
Palm oil, my white now stained.
Gone to the earth like the dead Abacha,
Through the thin air unspoken,
Days when dogs barked at nudity,
And madness its mother's name,
Now this, the world embrace,
My head dodges as madness flies.
Abomination!
This must cease to continue,
The gods need to be appeased,
For ye, the holy temple disesteemed,
The price to appease the gods,
Must thine behold.
"One Python's eggs,
Two lions' teeth,
Three leopard's heart,

Six live anaconda,
And seven Pacific cowries-
The sacrifice must be complete!"

So, let the madness stop,

| Career › Re: 2015 In Retrospect: How I Balanced Blogging And My Full Time Job by GreatManBee: 6:57pm On Dec 30, 2015 |
MissTechy:
As seen on MissTechy
I am not sure how many of you know this, but when I started MissTechy earlier this year, I was working as a Digital Strategist at one of the top digital agencies in Nigeria. During this phase, It wasn’t easy, but with determination, passion, consistency, hard work and most importantly the God factor, I was able to survive.
HOW I STARTED MISSTECHY
I have always been a techy by default (Thank you Google), as a matter of fact, back in my university days, if there was something wrong with your laptop and you couldn’t fix it yourself, Tobi Ayeni might be your best bet. But it was until January 2015 that I decided to create MissTechy.
I started with the design (P.S MissTechy’s header was designed by me, I couldn’t afford a graphic designer), downloaded a free theme and even learnt a bit of coding (I love you Google) to fix some things I didn’t like.
During the period of designing & creating, my weekends were the best days because I could fully work on Misstechy without my job interfering. So I used it well and got my blog up on the 9th of February.
For those who don’t know, this is how my blog looked like when I first started.
https://i63.tinypic.com/2sb0rvc.jpg
MY BUSY SCHEDULE
Before I started, I kinda believed that It wouldn’t be soooo difficult, boy was I wrong! Due to the nature of my Job, I mostly had time for Misstechy in the wee hours of the morning, usually before 8 am. If you’ve been following MissTechy then, you will remember that during this period, I was only able to post 1-2 articles per day.
https://i63.tinypic.com/2uotcuo.jpg
My schedule was simple, wake up really early, find an interesting post, go to work, come back in the evening usually by 7 -8 ish (sometimes 11 pm), look for something to post, then follow that cycle the next day.
ROAD BLOCK: SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE
However, despite my effort, I wasn’t getting great results. Also, due to an illness back then, I alienated myself from my friends who could have helped me with a RT or pushed my blog on social media. Finally, my divided attention was beginning to tell on my work performance.
So, I reduced the number of posts I did to 1, then relied on Facebook ads for the first month, but stopped after I realized that the people who came through Facebook ads hardly returned the next day. (I still needed to use my money to bring them back and I was in my Ojuelegba zone).
HOW I FOUND A BALANCE
The truth is, not everybody will have the type of job that requires you being online all the time, but I had and I used it to my advantage – for every time I was less busy in the office and during lunch breaks, I’d ensure I got more stories to post.
Another thing that helped me was my consistent article pattern, I found a pattern that was easy and short, with it, I could read a new story, understand it and try to make it interesting without breaking a sweat.
Also, God brought me readers like you who could make me smile with their comments, honestly, your comments made everything worthwhile.
Finally, the fact that I was super passionate about technology ensured I didn’t throw in the towel even when the going got tough. It wasn’t easy, but I was very passionate and I had a goal, I wanted to get MissTechy out there and I was willing to lose sleep and work extra hard to see that my goals were achieved.
https://i63.tinypic.com/mj5ver.jpg
DID I ACHIEVE MY GOALS?
My answer:
https://i67.tinypic.com/2zzjj1g.jpg
I haven’t achieved everything in my book, but I haven’t lost focus either.
LESSON LEARNT.
I survived, thanks to the fact that I was passionate, knew how to manage my time and made SMART goals.
https://i63.tinypic.com/ygmfc.jpg
Hehe, anyway, by SMART, I mean your goals must be:
Specific: What exactly do you want? The more specific you are, the more likely you are to achieve your goals.
Measurable: How will you track your progress?
Attainable: Ensure you are setting a goal that is attainable, an unattainable goal is wanting your blog to grow like Linda Ikeji’s in a month.
Realistic: How ready are you to take the necessary steps to achieve this goal?
Time-Bound: You should always ensure your goals are timely. I wanted to acquire Google Adsense in the first month and I did.
I am going to end with this: If someone says it’s going to be easy, BIG LIE!! It is going to be really hard, but if a smallie like me can survive this, You can!! You should also remember that you have the ability to get to where you want to, but it is up to you to get there. Finally, find a balance that suits you and ensure whatever you are doing is fun.
There you have it, really long, but I hope you can learn a thing or two from it. |

llaykorn:
Who Has An Idea What I'm Taking About?
The gods have strange ways of granting our prayers
when we ask for impossible things. It is their sense of humor, a reminder that some fates are not intended to be defied. She sought immortality to preserve her illuminating beauty: never to weaken or ail, but to remain like an eternal burning flame ever admired. The gods warned her that all things were not as they seemed but if she sought to touch upon divinity, she should bathe herself seven days and seven nights within fresh rainwater and let no grain of food pass her lips.
Delighted, she followed the godly instruction and upon the eighth night she awoke not within her bed, but aloft high within the sky: guardian of the night watching over the earth thus she would remain eternal and her beauty never wane, and all would look upon her in awe and wonder and envy.
But she grew lonely, though the stars sung to her...
There was no warmth and all she knew and loved was far below beyond her touch so she pleaded with the gods
to take back this gift they granted. The gods took pity
but somethings done cannot be undone; we live with the choices we make. But then, the gods are not cruel and unfeeling, so they made her a compromise and after each turning cycle she was allowed to descend from the sky and touch upon the earth again, leaving the sky dark robbed of her ethereal beauty.
But one day she had to reunite with all she loved though soon they withered and died while she remained before once more, having to make her ascent and reclaim her seat above us all.

| Education › Re: Ban Of Naira Atm Usage Abroad – A Perfect Way Forward. by GreatManBee: 4:35pm On Dec 30, 2015 |
IbXavier:
By : Apena Ibrahim Adeboye
This is a personal analysis which is subjected to empirically backed criticism.
As at 7th of December 2015, Naira to dollar stood at ₦250 to $1, which was the highest fall of Naira to Dollar in history (Reference 1). As at today 28th of December, 2015, Naira to dollar stands at ₦197 to $1 (Reference 2), this shows there is an improvement.
All the same, have you ever asked why the value of Naira keeps dropping its value, Have you ever imagine if exchange rate of naira to dollar stands at ₦500 to $1, Did you make research on why use of NAIRA ATM abroad was ban ? (Kindly read reference 4 to know why). All these will help us understand the effect of the Ban of Naira ATM usage outside Nigeria.
It’s no news that some Nigerians in Diaspora are working towards protesting against the ban of Naira ATM abroad, especially those studying. With due respect, it's shameful that some Students who schooled or are schooling outside the country, especially those who offered or are offering business related courses do not understand why the inability to use Naira ATM outside Nigeria will be better off in the long run. Let’s kindly visit Economics as a course before complaining, though I am not an economics expert but I will apply the fair knowledge I have by the grace of God.
Let’s start with a simple analysis, this analysis will focus mainly on those schooling outside Nigeria;
SCENARIO ONE
Schooling Abroad and its effect on Naira. (Nigerians Schooling in Ghana as a case study)
The case study below is used for about 200,000 Nigerians schooling in Ghana, according to statistical fact (Reference 3)
Scenario Effect on Naira & Nigeria economy
1. Average School fees for a student per year ₦400,000_ Naira Out , Nothing In ,
2. Accommodation for about ₦100,000_ Naira Out , Nothing In,
3. Living expense of about ₦300,000 _ Naira Out , Nothing In,
Total expenses incurred by a Foreign trained Nigerian annually _₦800,000 Out, Nothing In.
Cost for 200,000 students per year ₦160,000,000,000 (₦160B)
Total expenses in 4 years ₦640,000,000,000 Out, Nothing In
Note:
Living expenses of 200,000 foreign trained in Ghana alone for a year is about ₦60,000,000,000 (₦60B)
Over 200,000 Nigerian were schooling in Ghana as at 2013.
(Reference 3)
SCENARIO TWO
1. Mr Ade imports phone to sell in Nigeria with about ₦100,000 each.
2. A student who schools in Ghana left this phone to buy the same worth of phone in Ghana.
EFFECT OF SCENARIO TWO
1. ₦100,000 gone out of Nigeria, ₦100,000 worth of Phone Imported (balanced)
2. ₦100,000 worth of phone ignored by student, yet such student took another ₦100,000 out of Nigeria to buy same phone in Ghana without any return to Nigeria. This means Nigeria has lost 100,000 to the Ghana Market despite having such product in Nigeria. Funny enough, if such phone is stolen before such student gets back to Nigeria, it means such student has made Ghana economy ₦100,000 better.
In one semester, an average Nigerian Schooling in Ghana must have spent about 800,000 of Nigerian currency in Ghana. Assuming we have about 200,000 Nigerians schooling in Ghana, it means about ₦160B is spent in Ghana education system within a year without any monetary return for Nigeria. Assuming this 160B is invested in Business , it would have been better because we would get goods in return for such chunk of money going out of the country , bear in mind that there are a lot of Nigerian students scattered around the world, Just imagine how much schooling abroad alone is taking out of Nigerian economy annually, imagine how much money spent on luxurious items , Health and so on in Ghana and other countries, Trillions of Naira. Have you imagined what it would look like if these monies are invested in our educational sector? That by the way.
After schooling abroad, some of the foreign trained do not even think of coming back to create jobs in the country, they rather think of coming back to earn from a white collar job, having used their certificate to bully home trained Nigerian Graduates. Does this really justify the huge amount spent on education outside Nigeria, Though, it’s a fact that knowledge must have been acquired and one can spend as much as possible to acquire knowledge.
As an average Nigerian Schooling outside the country, it’s normal to feel very bad when such news is broken (Ban of Naira ATM abroad). However, it will be a big disgrace to jump up to protest over it without understanding what is being protested about.
The question is simple ,
1. Do we prefer the value of naira to keep falling while we have access to spend naira anyhow outside Nigeria or we reduce the amount of naira going out and maintain a valuable naira.
2. The amount of Nigerians in diaspora are not up to 20% of those in Nigeria, thus , do we suffer those in Nigeria for the happiness of those in Diaspora or those who travel out to flex on vacation.
Imagine you wake up one day to see the exchange rate of naira to dollar standing at 500 Naira to 1 Dollar, Do you think it will be easy for parents to pay fees abroad.
SUGGESTIONS
1. Students schooling or intending to school abroad should rather think of how government can help in providing a means for students to transfer their school fees and money for upkeep. Though, this should be regulated, but not to protest over the Ban of ATM usage Abroad. NANS Excos and other student activist abroad should get to work on how to get alternatives for students to get money abroad. Who knows , students might be allowed to use Naira ATM abroad but lets consider the effect.
2. Most traveling outside Nigeria , especially within African countries should stop the habit of taking naira out to buy what can be bought in Nigeria , eg Phones , Laptop e.t.c
3. This is also the best avenue to challenge the government to work on the educational sector of Nigeria so that Nigerians will stop wasting chunk of money on schooling outside. In Ghana alone, Nigerians spends about 160,000,000,000 on education. The question is ;
a. How many people come to Nigeria to study or spend such money?
b. How many countries appreciate the monies spent by Nigerians in their economy.
Thus, if government won’t allow free usage of Naira ATM for students, then, they should provide alternatives or better our education system by scrapping JAMB and POST JAMB.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO LEARNED COLLEAGUES
Please let's apply what we learnt in school. When we spend more of our currency to import without Export, the value of Naira will keep dropping. So let’s plead to government to rather work on a policy to support fees payment and up keep money for students schooling abroad, also for business men. Also why are we not thinking of business we can do in abroad , afterwards , we send the little money you earn to Nigerian banks.
CONCLUSION
This literally mean , we are giving out without receiving except from petrol which is our major source of income , NB , price of Petrol is also dropping. If you give out without receiving you must reduce in whatever you have. This is one of the reasons why naira is dropping value. Therefore, ban of Naira ATM use outside Nigeria is a good policy. I don’t care who the governor of Central Bank of Nigeria is but I salute him/her for this. At least , this Policy should be maintained till Naira can be equivalent to about ₦100 – $1 dollars. If buhari Claims to take ₦1-$1, Do we think he will just perform Miracles, these are some of the ways to achieve it. Lets think of what to do so that others will come and spend or invest in our economy, However, there should be a way out for those who genuinely need to use the ATM outside Nigeria (Businessmen, students and likes ) Surely Politicians and those who pay visit to other countries Should be totally BANNED from use of Naira ATM abroad, amount taken out of Nigeria should be regulated.
This write up is not in any way to support any political party but for the betterment of Nigeria. Change and betterment will not occur if we won’t pay the price, ABOVE ALL, THIS IS A TEMPORARY MEASURE FOR THE SAKE OF STABILIZING THINGS. It is mainly geared towards those who spend naira on luxurious stuffs abroad.
Thank you for reading, comments to enlighten me are welcomed.

| Nairaland General › Re: Safety Tips To Use Around Nigerian Policemen by GreatManBee: 7:30pm On Dec 29, 2015 |
sketcherJ:
Police is our friend at least that is what they say, but we have come to question this statement now and often due to the nefarious and unwholesome activities of some bad eggs in the police force, these are some good tips for you to make sure you don't encounter or be a victim of these bad activities
1. Never run away from a policeman : Never run from a Nigerian policeman, whether you are innocent or guilty or you are automatically signing your death warrant, in many European countries, their police force are equipped with tasers and stun guns to use on running criminals or offenders, but the case is not so in Nigeria, where the policemen only have loaded guns with no safety catch,.
some policemen are too lazy to chase criminals, they just let the velocity of their bullets do the running business.
2. Give them their dues : whenever you meet police men at checkpoints , and they ask you for money whether legally or illegally. Please give them, don't try to be the know it all or try to be one who is current in law matters, this might sound stupid but remember you are doing this for your life and the passengers you have in your care, we have heard and seen cases of drivers refusing to give policemen their dues and their passengers suffered dearly for it.
3. Don't joke or argue with a drunk policeman ; whenever you are at a bar and you see drunk policemen with guns. It is better for you to leave the bar club or joint discreetly ,but if you must stay, avoid the policemen like fleas and don't draw too much attention to yourself, drunk policemen are just like time bombs waiting to explode. Don't joke with them, because in their drunken state, they might not able to get the meaning of your jokes well , a drunk civilian can cause havoc not to talk of a drunk policeman with a loaded gun.
4. Watch the signs ; whenever you find yourself around a policeman with a gun whether drunken or sober, always watch for any hostility signs in them , especially when a policeman start talking about killing.e.g I feel like killing somebody today, I will shoot you, if you try me, I will show you pepper etc.. Don't wait to see if the policeman is actually bluffing, take to your heels .
5. Be cautious or avoid areas where a policeman had recently been injured or beaten : when you hear or you actually see a policeman being beaten in an area, please avoid going to the area for some time, because the policemen will come for their revenge and they either they do it directly or indirectly.. Directly ( by shooting at or battering some marked men at the area) indirectly ( by arresting the residents of the area and charging them with numerous framed offences)
6. Avoid confrontations with policemen during protest : avoid daring confrontations with policemen during protests whether peaceful or not, even if you are doing it for a just cause, don't throw stones, pure water etc at them, even if you are in the company of your friends , in a crowd or public gathering, remember a bullet has no person's name on it , in a crowd...it could hit you , or anybody close to you.

| Nairaland General › Re: After Reading This, You’ll Never Want To Throw These Silica Gel Away Again! by GreatManBee: 9:19pm On Dec 28, 2015 |
vicostyles:
[img]http://3.bp..com/-2YLl_RfrHzA/VoFuvFiJRBI/AAAAAAAAAyQ/SzlBoakoCwY/s1600/Silicon%2Bbag.jpg[/img]
How many times have you chucked away those little silica bags that we find in almost every newly bought item?
How many times have you not actually even realised they were in your new package?
Perhaps they’re still lurking there now as we speak.
You may have thought the bags were useless once the product was out of transit, and the big DO NOT EAT on them might have freaked you out enough to bin them instantly.
But while you must of course never eat the gel, and the bags MUST be kept away from babies and animals (mainly because they are a choking hazard), the contents of the bags are not actually toxic.
The silica gel bags are filled with a substance called silicon dioxide, a non-toxic inert desiccant that has the power to dry out moisture.
So, it turns out we should be paying more attention to these tiny little bags.
Because, apparently, there’s a tonne of uses for them that you might never even have known about.
Here are the best ways you can use silica bags around the house:
You can save your drowned phone
It turns out rice isn’t the only way to save a phone you may have accidentally dropped down the toilet. Filling up a bowl with silica bags is apparently ’10 times more effective than rice’.
Save precious memories
Putting silica bags in a box of old photos will save them from any dampness – which can really ruin a lovely photo you wished to save forever to look back on over the years.
Protect your make-up
Putting a bag or two in your makeup bag will stop your powder-based makeup from going claggy and difficult to apply.
Put them in your gym bag to eliminate odour
The silica will absorb the excess moisture in your gym shoes after a workout – which is particularly handy since many of us go to the gym then leave our kit in the bag for the rest of the day. Or week. Bacteria thrives well in a moist environment, so by eliminating dampness the silica bags will help keep your gym-bag germ- and whiff-free. A win/win for all.
Keep your bath towels from smelling
Putting a few of these bags in between your bath towels can help prevent dampness and the smell that comes with it – leaving your bathroom smelling of nothing but air freshener and good times.
Keep your car windscreen clear
Pop a few on the dashboard to prevent moisture build-up that causes condensation on the inside of the windscreen. In winter, it will also help prevent freezing on the inside. May take a few days to become fully effective, so be patient.
Keep jewellery clean and shiny
Moisture leads to tarnishing and discolouration of silver. A couple of bags in your jewellery box will slow down the process.

Jengbetiele:
Sequel to numerous of private messages enquiries I got after my two posts https://www.nairaland.com/2822230/having-tough-time-academics-read and https://www.nairaland.com/2432779/funny-jjc-experience-canada . There is a common objective in all the mails received. Similarly going by most of the quotes, replies and mentions on the thread it became obvious that everyone wants to know how to secure a scholarship in Canadian universities for graduate programs at master’s level and PhD. The aim of this thread to give detailed step by step procedures during the application phase. Needless to say that when you secure a full scholarship admission in a foreign university, the chances you will be given the visa is 95 percent. They rarely deny or delay scholars . Let’s get started
Graduate programs are basically of two types in Canada. The first being thesis or research based admission and the second project route admission. While thesis based is meant for researchers and people who would not mind a PhD in the near future, project based is mainly suited for students who would prefer to work in the industry hence most project based programs have a coop or work term component…don’t be confused na just IT…but paid IT and it usually runs for 4 months.
Due to the nature of thesis based master’s degree, it is usually more rigorous and highly competitive you know how money matter dey always be now hahahha and as a result, you are given a full scholarship from basically three sources. The first is School of graduate studies; the second is your home department while the third is from Research assistant role or teaching assistant role.
The accumulation of these funds runs in thousands of dollars paid to you per annum. They deduct your tuition and other expenses and pay you the rest on a bi-weekly basis. It is worthy of mention to state explicitly that once you apply for a thesis route masters degree, you need not apply for any other scholarship separately. It comes together like bread and butter in most cases hahahaha. And when you are admitted and you get funding from an external source, they stop the one that comes with your admission hahahahaha you wan hammer ontop scholarship money abi? .
Now the big question is how do I qualify and/or what are the basic requirements. Well for the most part, you need a CGPA of nothing less than a 75 percent in your undergraduate. This is equivalent to a 3.5 on a 5.0 scale. Depending on your choice of program, you may need Gmat or GRE and probably IELTS too as part of supporting documents. As earlier stated the competition is always very fierce. My supervisor told me over 700 applicants submitted while just 15 were chosen. Hence you need to be that irresistible and promising young scholar.
This is where creating a scholarly profile comes in. It is not a requirement most times but I recommend including your scholarly publications in your application and certificates of membership of academic bodies. If you are still an undergraduate, hope still dey. Join IEEE, AIESEC and all these student organizations. And try write some articles also. I did it so you can do it too. Just research and stop being lazy like me hahahha. Moreover, you will need to write a clear and concise statement of purpose clearly stating your research interest and your academic feats. All these writings no be big deal. They are just a perfect avenue to sell yourself to the review panel and make them pee in their pants hahahahhaa thereby creating that enthusiasm to sign you. All these would further strengthen your case and make your application more competitive. As a matter of fact I included all these when I was applying even certificates of presentations and participations in academic conferences in Nigeria.
One of the hurdles in securing a thesis admission is getting a supervisor. That can be very frustrating as I went through the same too. So my advice here is draft a very unique proposal. Not just the normal template we see around. Be creative an instance when I was writing mine I wrote something likes “Sir I read your publications titled database blab blab la bla. While it is educative and interesting if adopted in today’s world of computing, I would like to specifically state that combining your methodology with so so so approach could create a more efficient database system…..I made logical suggestions to one of his works while indirectly critiquing others hahahaha try this with a naija professor at your peril hahahahaha. So write a catchy proposal. Because even if you have a first class, and you can’t get a supervisor, you won’t be admitted. Though some universities do merge student automatically the supervisor of aligning interest but most of them won’t do that.
Above all, pray for favour and goodluck because sometimes the race is not to the swift hahahahaha. Before I return my pen into basket of love, I wish you a prosperous 2016 in advance. |
| Christianity Etc › Re: 8 Amazing facts about salvation you will not hear in many churches. by GreatManBee: 3:17pm On Dec 27, 2015 |
Toks2008:
What you are about to read will change your life forever.
After reading this, you will be filled with indescribable peace that surpasses all human understanding because you will know for sure that you no longer have business with hell but guaranteed a place in paradise.
Some may call it heresy but that is exactly what the devil wants you to believe it is whereas it is the greatest truth GOD wants the world to know and the devil never ever wants the world to know. This is why 99% of pastors will never preach it but would rather preach the need to live a sinless life and in-fact will give us a picture of perfection in acts and thoughts as the only criteria to making heaven.
Read on:
1. Do you know that in the past before Jesus came to pay the permanent price,the Israelis which were a symbolic representation of GOD's people were commanded by GOD to make animal sacrifice for atonement of their sins?
This means whenever they fall into sins or commit sinful acts,once they sacrifice the animal, all these sins are automatically wiped off by GOD.Yes there is a sacrifice for the atonement of all sins and that's done on the Day of Atonement by the High Priest. Interestingly enough, it is a goat and not a lamb that takes the sin of all Israel out of the borders of Israel.(Leviticus 16)
2.The crucifixion of Christ on the wooden cross is a one time symbolic representation of the Animal sin offering on the wooden platform of old meaning it has taken away the sins of yesterday,today and tomorrow once and for all:
Unlike the repeated sacrifices made in the past for the cleansing of sins each year or anytime they sin,the death and resurrection of Christ has cleansed us from the sins of the past,present and that of the future.
Because the blood of bulls and rams can not take away the sins of the world.GOD sent a human lamb to take away the sins of the world.This means as long as you have accepted Christ as lord and Saviour,if you fall into sin,all you ned is to go on your kneels and ask for forgiveness Which can be likened to making animal offering to atone for any sin you commit.(Hebrews 10:4)
3. No matter how hard you try, As human beings, it is impossible to be sinless and GOD knows this.
My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.(1 John 2:1)
4.Many people in hell fire today have no business been there but because they gave up their salvation making conclusions that they are no good for GOD's kingdom.
Giving your life to Christ and living a righteous life sometimes do not come automatically.It takes the work of the Holy spirit to perfect your salvation whereas accepting Jesus as lord as Saviour is a decision.
When i was young i usually get mocked when i do somethings that are not expected of a "Born again" Christian and i would have easily given up way back. This is the case of many people burning in hell today..they voluntarily gave up their salvation because they found themselves doing those things they use to do before they accepted Christ but if only they knew that all they need to do is to fight on and ask the holy spirit to perfect their salvation,they would have been made a better believer by the help of the holy spirit.
The bible says its not by power or by might but by my spirit says the lord.(Zechariah 4:6)
5. Most of the Bible heroes were not righteous by human standard.
The Bible does not attempt to conceal the foibles of the great people that adorn its pages. Abraham, Isaac, Moses, David, etc., were normal human beings. They sinned like all other offspring of Adam who have matured to a level of personal accountability (Romans 3:10, 23). Jesus Christ was the only exception (Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 2:22).
6. Anytime you sin,simply go on your kneels and ask GOD to forgive you in the name of JESUS(A symbol of animal sacrifice Israelis make each time they sin against GOD and you will be automatically forgiven)
This is so interesting yet very mysterious for many people to comprehend that the grace of Christ covers any sin we commit and we can always ask for forgiveness whenever we sin and the sins will be forgiven.
"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God" (Romans 5)
7.GOD never condemns you except you condemn yourself.
Stop condemning yourself friend, 99.9% of believers will battle with one sinful habit or the other till they die.Its about trusting Jesus to forgive them each time they fall into this sinful act but the first step is to accept him as your lord and savior then ask the holy spirit to help you overcome these sinful habits and try your best to allow him.
8.A true believer does not enjoy sinful acts neither plans for it or looks forward to sinning.
Paul asks "What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?Absolutely not ! How can we who died to sin still live in it?Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life.(Romans 6:1-4)
He also said “if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins”(Hebrews 10:26)
CONCLUSION: The grace of GOD is not for us to enjoy sinning and continuously ask for forgiveness but its for us to live above the power of sins in our lives.
But if everyone alive today gives their lives to Jesus and hold on to their salvation no matter how hard they struggle with sins. Heaven will be a home for all.
Hope this helps |
| Christianity Etc › Re: Comforting Scriptures For All Relationship Crises by GreatManBee: 11:55am On Dec 27, 2015 |
emusmith:
When the chips are down and all hope seems lost regarding your relationship; you would need to draw comfort from the most reliable and ever-relevant Book ever- The Bible.
Embedded in It are answers to those rhetorical relationship questions of yours. By faith, read and think of It as a Loving God speaking to encourage you: It's not over yet.
The Scriptures has solutions to all relationship situation anyone reading this might be going through. For brevity's sake, I did split them into different classes.
Let's see some of them:
1. Heartbreak Situation - He/she left you for someone else?
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. (Romans 12:19)
When my father and my mother (fiance and fiancée) forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. (Psalms 27:10)
2. "Age Is Not On Your Side" situation?
But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. (Psalms 141: 8 )
TO EVERYTHING there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven: (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
3. Heart break: He/she left you because of your physical condition?
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; and my neighbors and my near ones stand afar off. For in You, O Lord, do I hope; You will answer, O Lord my God. (Psalms 38:11,15)
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. (Jeremiah 30:17)
4. Your wedding is close and the money isn't forthcoming?
And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)
Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. (Job 8:7)
5. When your haters say you can't get married at the time stipulated?
Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. (Genesis 18:14)
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. (Habakkuk 2:3)
6. If they keep mocking you, saying, "Won't you go and get married?"
GOD setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. (Psalms 68:6)
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. (Genesis 2:22)
7. If you toyed with your "prime years" and now you're older and wants to settle down.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. (Psalms 25:7)
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. (Romans 9:15-16)
Simple, but true. Every relationship challenge has a comforting Word from the Master- Jesus. In case, you lost your fiancée/fiancé to the cold hands of death, may God who has multiple plans fill that emotional void in Jesus Name! .  |
