Agriculture › Re: Nigerian Agriculture Sector Won't Develop If We Continue This Way by GreatManBee: 5:11pm On Jul 14, 2023
idrisaleo1:
I have been on Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) and Nigeria Institute for Oil Palm Research's (NIFOR) website respectively trying to buy Cashew Nuts Seeds and Coconut Seedlings, but I would never be able to because of some corrupt individuals working against the interest of agriculture in the country. For goodness sake, what will it cost you to have a user friendly website where payments can easily be made and my products delivered to wherever I am in the country?

These are institutes heavily subsidised and are solely established to cater for the agricultural needs of Nigeria. However, buying anything from them is near impossible as some of their workers are rumoured to resell at exorbitant prices to not so willing but powerless buyers. To make this into perspective, NIFOR sells a seedling of Coconut for 1500 and the least you can probably get that outside their walls is 2500. Some go as selling for 5000 or even more. For CRIN's cashew nuts jumbo seeds, the establishment sells for 1500 per kg and you get that around 4500 or even more from these ugly individuals.

It takes forever for them to reply your emails, the phone details are not easily seen, they most probably don't have one. The only thing that works well with lack of transparency is the desire to steal, exploit, and/or extort. Call it anything, it's most likely a negative thing.

My question will be, why do we love exploiting and wreaking havocs on ourselves? How difficult is it to be a decent human being? Are we so useless we can't seem to get anything right? I believe we can do better and we should be doing better.

Admin, please kindly move to the front page. Let their ogas respond to these allegations.
Very true! I once wrote to IITA (ibadan), called the phone number and even visited some year ago in the needed to buy some seedlings for research. Unfortunately I never go any response! So bad!

Omens.

In my favorite book, the Alchemist, Paulo Coelho explains the power of omens. And at this moment, I believe the entire universe is conspiring to help me achieve my dream.

How?

I read about China/ Gaokao this morning and resolved to act on a new idea. Hours later, there’s a Nairaland frontpage story about a Chinese millionaire and Gaokao.
Great book I tell you. I read it about 7 years ago.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: My Experience Working In A Nigerian Startup by GreatManBee: 2:01pm On May 26, 2023
Supreme145:
I got a job late last year in a Nigerian startup firm as a web designer on a 150k salary. We initially had a bit of back and forth cos the boss wanted me to work onsite but I insisted on working remotely because I couldn't afford relocation to Lagos at that time.

Over six months down the line and it has been a terrible experience. I've been paid just twice in 6 months, and we have not been working since the middle of last month due to a scarcity of funds. I wonder what would have been my fate if I had relocated to Lagos.

Some months we work for just two weeks or thereabout, I work beyond office hours and even during weekends. There was a period my boss would keep me awake at midnight working. I just had to comply since I haven't been able to get another job and the freelance market isn't smiling either. I'm constantly broke for someone that is supposed to be earning 150k, even though it's not much but it should be able to sustain a single guy.

I'm really confused at this point cos I feel very much unemployed. My boss would read my messages on WhatsApp and lock up. I've asked him to update me on what's going on because I feel jobless and left in the cold. He viewed the message without a reply. I don't know how to proceed from this point and would appreciate any advice now because I am slowly sliding into depression.
What skills do you have? Is it just web development? If possible can you share some of your portfolio projects?

I can put you through. I just did mine. But they wasted my time sha.

After uploading all the original documents, they still requested that the school should send Hard copies of the documents.

started processing in February, got it in April.

others are of the opinion that it's because I did not do a fast track service.

I did standard that should take 10 working days.
That's not true. I also did fast track and it took almost 2 months back and forth. I don't know why they requested for hardcopies from the institution again after my initial uploads. I ended up pay over 200k for nonsense in the school.. so frustrating..

It’s hard to find a rich loyal Girl. She has everything I want in a woman.

As for DJ Cuppy, I wish you well. I can see you have a thing for boxers. I just hope you’re not rushing things because of your younger sister. (Second born are always doing better in most Naija homes… it feels like the first child is always a specimen) cheesy

About 50.
But some didn't germinate at all... I think I mentioned how some of the yam seeds were left in a container too long before planting and were already spoilt...
Just planted them like that
I'll like to buy some yam seeds. Can you recommend where you got yours?

Write a cover letter introducing yourself, job title then mention you are inviting your mum for a visit but don't mention omugwu/childcare. You can say she is visiting to see her grandchildren. Mention that she will be staying with you all through her stay that her flight, accommodation will be sorted by you.

Include her bank statement, it's very important and also, if she is currently working or retired add the letter(pension letter if any).
Attach your tenancy agreement, council tax, letter of invitation from you as well as the cover letter.

Your mum should write cover letter as well.

All the best.

A very good business model. I can already imagine creating a page on Facebook, starting with this measure of concocting tales that never happened, garnering an audience and whoop, I have a massive following. Trust me, controversy sells.

Hi. I see some interesting projects on solanium. I just got to know about it last week and checking it out.

Now my question, i see some projects listed there for people to whitelist and buy the tokens after the lottery has ended. Is there a place to buy these tokens more cheaply before it gets list on solanium? I'll like to invest much earlier before the lottery starts.

OpenHeaven2019:
People don’t know that a lot of major opportunities in Crypto are secrets passed within a close cycle. When it gets outside initial investor already made insane returns.

I give you one example, I got to know of weapon from an OG in the crypto space, I didn’t share it here because I had not done enough research.

The coin has more than 4X in 7days. This coin will not get known till maybe like $20 when people have done over 30x.

They are plenty of private/seed rounds that are going on daily that y’all don’t know about.

I decide to put these secrets info out for all to see and some people think I’m “shilling”. Na NL dem dey shill project. $Weapon I didn’t bring here has it not done 4X +.

I could just pass the info around my guys. Thankfully I have 1 or 2 people in here who have direct private access to me and we share alphas amongst ourselves , most of them ask me why I still post alphas on NL. My response is to help people. I nor come here to come shill, I come to help you.

OlympiadTutor:
The reason I stated I would have closed my position at that point is because as a Trader you should always trust the Trend.

BTC is in a downtrend and you should always keep this in mind. Always assume that the downtrend will continue, do not rejoice at every green you see and be fooled into thinking that the downtrend is over. Even if BTC rallies up to $46k today, that is not a signal that the downtrend is over. It may just be going through a phase of complex corrections.

This is why you should avoid Long Positions in the Bear Market. The fight is never over until the market says so, always trust the Trend.
