parkers #10000 operator btw #20000 to #30000 driver #17000 to #22000 manager/operation supervisor #25000.

Thank you very much, so they are paid monthly? Someone was advising me for optimum service I should pay commission, what you think?

Please how are pure water factory staff paid, is it fixed salary or commission? If salary what is the range?

Thanks

Hello

I have almost completed the construction of my bakery, I want to have an idea how much are the staff paid? Should I make it commission based or salary based? I want to give them a competitive pay.

Thank you

I have asked that question before in a similar thread, half of our imports are from China, we have a trade relationship with them, why do we need the dollar.

Most of our household personal gadget are from China but do yoiu know 70% of dollar demand is for import of petrol, rice and wheat?

If Dangote refinery will start and we have local sufficient production of rice and and wheat the Dollar may surely be below N200, yes the Yuan deal is also very good if implemented at least our importers will change their naira directly to yuan here and travel to china or buy online and further reduce the presure on the dollar but the real deal is Rice, Wheat and mainly petrol.

Youth of nowaday don't read wide, please Benue trough does not mean Benue state the trough includes state like Taraba, Kogi Benue and nasarawa, is just like Chad basin which also include state like Yobe Borno and Gombe

There was once a law under obj banning soldiers from civilian areas, imaging they went to drink in a civilian beer parlor when offended they beat the person.

Mamy market was created solely to cater for soldiers needs, even if they are on outside duty by law they are not allowed to go anywhere even to eat as normally they will be dropped and picked up and food is delivered to them .

The FRSC or the staff or his relative should take up the case and ensure that the rogue soldiers are dismissed to serve as deterrent to others

Do you people remember the case of the lady that was brutalized by a rear admiral and his boys in lagos some years back, I learn that that incidence was what led to his retirement and he paid through his nose, all because the lady took up the case and seriously dealt with General. Always remember nobody is above the law

blackpanda:
Hmmm....so u are a banker? interesting..

Yes I was left, in 2013 as a Mgr now a proud entrepreneur in various areas

I remember when I opened children account for this girl in a bank I worked in 2002 while her mother was coordinator EFA in Abuja, she is now a grown up

We don old o

He is well known, the FG has been using him previously on many occasion, so what changed to have declared him wanted, why not invite him if he fails then declare him wanted.

My problem with soldiers is gra gra

Why not ask the escaped chibok girl for the location they were kept, something is fishy,

The journalist guy is the main target the other two are just for justification, Salkida has been shaming the army hence they want to incarcerate him.

From his releases it clearly shows failure on our intelligence service, it show our army is just reactionary because if not for the latest video the won't have ordered their arrest.

Isn't it shameful that after almost 7 years of our intelligence services have still not infiltrated the Boko Haram inner ranks.

If I were Salkida I will take myself to the US or UK embassy in the UAE then ask the army to come interrogate me cos the biggest mistake he will make is to board plane and come to Nigeria to meet the NA in their headquarters

Fayose and Wike thought they can make Sheriff their boy and he will do as they wish.

Sheriff is by far richer than both of them, has more connection than them, was governor before them, was a senator under NRC in 1991 when probably fayose was in motor park doing agbrero and Wike was in law school.

The only people in Nigeria politic that are above SAS are Obasanjo, IBB, Atiku, Buharii and Tinubu SAS I know can deal with anyone apart from those I mentioned

One product that Nigeria made is the best is cable Nocaco and our iron rod also those who build house can attest to that.

If you want burn your house use china or England wire but Nigerian Nocaco is the baba and more expensive. Kudos

abikun:
Official fee for registration of bread is #31,500 for one product. Excluding documentation, label printing, laboratories follow up & online registration.

This is to let you know that I have received my trademark acceptance, it took two weeks to process, next will be to get prepared and approach NAFDAC hope there's too will be expedient like trademark. Thanks for your support.

Every language evolves, even some words in current dictionary were not there before and whether the English man like it or not English is now a Nigerian language as such Nigerian English too must be accepted, and I honestly see there is to have Nigerian English Dictionary

drandonzero:
Why should you doubt while their schedule indicates that all matches will be live this weekend

No vex but can you give us a link to the schedule. Thanks

Even military head of state salute emir of kano talkless of one unknown police officer beside this man was CBN governor.


By the way salute is a courtesy given to anyone you respect, most people that see anything wrong in the salute must be myopic

That muddy area must be bulumkutu Abuja and Dala axis.

Proudly maidiate

Mrbigman1:
Foolish reporters, his as broke as not being able to afford 20k flight ticket too?

Very stupid Saharareporters.

On of his supply ships can buy your media house and your destiny.

Clearly you did not read the report, as they said he can afford even a first class ticket in a commercial airline but is a shame to be seen not using a private jet as he was known for hence he traveled by road.

Necessity isn't the only mother of invention. Though it wasn't always easy to get patents or the credit they deserved, women are responsible for many items we use today.

1. THE PAPER BAG
America got a brand new paper bag when cotton mill worker Margaret Knight invented a machine to make them with a flat square bottom in 1868. (Paper bags originally looked more like envelopes.) A man named Charles Annan saw her design and tried to patent the idea first. Knight filed a lawsuit and won the patent fair and square in 1871.

2. KEVLAR
Lightweight, high-tensile Kevlar—five times stronger than steel—will take a bullet for you. DuPont chemist Stephanie Kwolek accidentally invented it while trying to perfect a lighter fiber for car tires and earned a patent in 1966.

3. THE FOOT-PEDAL TRASH CAN
Lillian Gilbreth improved existing inventions with small, but ingenious, tweaks. In the early 1900s, she designed the shelves inside refrigerator doors, made the can opener easier to use, and tidied up cleaning with a foot pedal trash can. Gilbreth is most famous for her pioneering work in efficiency management and ergonomics with husband Frank. Two of their 12 children, Frank Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth, humorously wrote about their home/work collaborations in the book Cheaper by the Dozen.


4. MONOPOLY
Elizabeth Magie created The Landlord's Game to spread the economic theory of Georgism—teaching players about the unfairness of land-grabbing, the disadvantages of renting, and the need for a single land value tax on owners. Fun stuff! Magie patented the board game in 1904 and self-published it in 1906. Nearly 30 years later, a man named Charles Darrow rejiggered the board design and message and sold it to Parker Brothers as Monopoly. The company bought Magie's patent for the original game for $500 and no royalties.

5. WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Drivers were skeptical when Mary Anderson invented the first manual windshield wipers in 1903. They thought it was safer to drive with rain and snow obscuring the road than to pull a lever to clear it. (Another woman inventor, Charlotte Bridgwood, invented an automatic version with an electric roller in 1917. It didn't take off, either.) But by the time Anderson's patent expired in 1920, windshield wipers were cleaning up. Cadillac was the first to include them in every car model, and other companies soon followed.

6. DISPOSABLE DIAPERS
Marion Donovan didn't take all the mess out of diaper changing when she patented the waterproof Boater in 1951. But she changed parenting—and well, babies—forever. The waterproof diaper cover, originally made with a shower curtain, was first sold at Saks Fifth Avenue. Donovan sold the patent to the Keko Corporation for $1 million and then created an entirely disposable model a few years later. Pampers was born in 1961.

7. THE DISHWASHER
Patented in 1886, the first dishwasher combined high water pressure, a wheel, a boiler, and a wire rack like the ones still used for dish drying. Inventor Josephine Cochrane never used it herself, but it made life easier for her servants.

8. LIQUID PAPER
In the days before the delete key, secretary Bette Nesmith Graham secretly used white tempera paint to cover up her typing errors. She spent years perfecting the formula in her kitchen before patenting Liquid Paper in 1958. Gillette bought her company in 1979 for $47.5 million. And that's no typo.


9. ALPHABET BLOCKS
Children don't read books by anti-suffrage author Adeline D.T. Whitney these days—and that's probably for the better. But the wooden blocks she patented in 1882 still help them learn their ABC's.

10. THE APGAR SCORE
Life is a series of tests, starting with the Apgar, named after obstetrical anesthesiologist Dr. Virginia Apgar. In 1952, she began testing newborns one minute and five minutes after birth to determine if they needed immediate care. About 10 years later, the medical community made a backronym—an acronym designed to fit an existing word—to remember the criteria scored: Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration.

11. SIGNAL FLARES
Communication between ships was once limited to colored flags, lanterns, and screaming things like "Thar she blows!" really loudly. Martha Coston didn't come up with the idea for signal flares all by herself. She found plans in a notebook that belonged to her late husband. The determined widow spent 10 years working with chemists and pyrotechnics experts to make the idea a reality. But she was only named administratrix in the 1859 patent—Mr. Coston got credited as the inventor.

12. THE CIRCULAR SAW
A weaver named Tabitha Babbitt was the first to suggest that lumber workers use a circular saw instead of the two-man pit saw that only cut when pulled forward. She made a prototype and attached it to her spinning wheel in 1813. Babbitt's Shaker community didn't approve of filing a patent, but they took full advantage of the invention.


13. RETRACTABLE DOG LEASH
New York City dog-owner Mary A. Delaney patented the first retractable leading device in 1908. It attached to the collar, keeping pooches under control, while giving them some freedom to roam. Incidentally, someone named R.C. O'Connor patented the first child harness 11 years later. Coincidence? Maybe.
14. SUBMARINE TELESCOPE AND LAMP
It's difficult to find any in-depth information about early inventor Sarah Mather. Her combination telescope and lamp for submarines, patented in 1845, speaks for itself.

15. FOLDING CABINET BED
Sarah E. Goode's folding cabinet bed didn't just maximize space in small homes. In 1885, it made her the first African-American woman with a U.S. patent. The fully-functional desk could be used by day and then folded down for a good night's sleep. The Murphy bed came along some 15 years later.

16. THE SOLAR HOUSE
Biophysicist Maria Telkes's place was in the house—the very first 100 percent solar house. In 1947, the Hungarian scientist invented the thermoelectric power generator to provide heat for Dover House, a wedge-shaped structure she conceived with architect Eleanor Raymond. Telkes used Glauber’s salt, the sodium salt of sulfuric acid, to store heat in preparation for sunless days. Dover House survived nearly three Massachusetts winters before the system failed.

17. SCOTCHGUARD
Apparently, it takes a stain to fight one. In 1952, 3M chemist Patsy Sherman was perplexed when some fluorochemical rubber spilled on a lab assistant's shoe and wouldn't come off. Without changing the color of the shoe, the stain repelled water, oil, and other liquids. Sherman and her co-inventor Samuel Smith called it Scotchguard. And the rest is ... preserving your couch.

18. INVISIBLE GLASS
Katharine Blodgett, General Electric's first female scientist, discovered a way to transfer thin monomolecular coatings to glass and metals in 1935. The result: glass that eliminated glare and distortion. It clearly revolutionized cameras, microscopes, eyeglasses, and more.

19. COMPUTERS
Women in computer science have a role model in Grace Hopper. She and Howard Aiken designed Harvard's Mark I computer, a five-ton, room-sized machine in 1944. Hopper invented the compiler that translated written language into computer code and coined the terms "bug" and "debugging" when she had to remove moths from the device. In 1959, Hopper was part of the team that developed COBOL, one of the first modern programming languages.

Is there any discovery or invention by a woman? Just asking

Ecobank is being mentioned repeatedly on this this thread, if I am a management staff of that bank this should be a source of concern, and the need for total overhaul of their bank cannot be overemphasized.

Personally is stopped banking with Ecobank when I realized how bad they are after the take over of Oceanic bank, I have like 6 dormant account in ecobank including a dorm account.

Their staff are seriously not motivated and disgruntled, I learn that John Aboh who sold Oceanic bank through the back door to small ecobank is now a board member.

This bank is destined to fail

babajero:
Please what is "cyber stalking" if I may ask, a real reasonable person will know that they don't have anything meaningful to say that was why they cooked up such story. They are just simply muzzling the press, and if we don't speak up now time will come when we can't speak at all.

Well now they have given a reason for his arrest so we can take them on that, my worry was how you all went out to accuse efcc of wrong doing without knowing the reason he was arrested.

By the way, "cyber stalking" is an offence but but very strange in Nigeria context, lot of people are being tried for it in the western world, am not saying abusididiq is guilty of it because the reason given is so vague and seems he is just being muscled by efcc. So I can now join the bandwagon and say FREE ABUSIDIQ

By the way "cyber stalking is the repeated use of electronic communications to harass or frighten someone, for example by sending threatening emails."

babajero:
So he has to be jailed before proven innocent right? Carry on your day of reckoning will be here soon.

Why are you so sure that he has not committed any offence, it you that your day of reckoning is coming, can you vouch for him 100%.

Allow the efcc to tell us the reason why he was abducted before yarning dust. What will happen if they come out to say he was involved in 419? So they should allow him go freely because he is blogger?

How sure we that he did not commit an economic crime, what if he does blogging as an excuse but actually he is a scam artist?

Let's wait to hear what is the offence he is being arrested for then we can join and say #freeabusidiq if he is arrested because of 419 or blackmail cos I know some journalist do that then OYO
