LaurelP:
I am writing this article based on my experience here on Nairaland and other online forums, and also live experience. A lot of people have preached and continue to preach the message of self employment and setting up something no matter how small.
It is very glaring that unemployment is the no1 problem of youths in this country. Many are lying idle after years of graduation due to lack of jobs.

Some people have heed this advice and are doing business, while others continue to give various excuses why they cannot seem to venture into the world of business. Some of these excuses are voiced out, while others are hidden in subconscious of people.
My aim is to expose these excuses and myths, and tell you why they are not enough to stop anybody who truly wants to start.

1. I don't have capital to start: I think this is the greatest and most common excuse graduates give for not being self employed. But the problem is that most of them want to start big. They want to have about half a million before they start. The truth is you can start with anything you have, anything! Even N2000 can buy a bag of purewater, iceblock and transport you to a busy location where u can sell. Some graduates have much more than that, some have people who are ready to help them with money but prefer to wait for that big break which will never come.

2. Overbloated Ego: Most graduates will not say it but I think this is one of the greatest hindrances to starting a business. How can I a graduate be selling purewater and gala? How can I be cleaning people's house? How can I be washing clothes for my mate?
All this is a result of ego and pride. If you cannot humble yourself, then forget about doing business. Even if you start big, you will still serve customers.

3. What will people say? People will always talk. If you decide to be lazy they will talk, if you start small they will still talk. The best is to forget about peoples gossip and do what must be done. I run a home cleaning business and I serve many clients, some of them my mates. I need their money so I can't afford to listen to what people say. The funny thing is when you succeed they will say ur using Juju.

4. Will I succeed? Well, the only answer to this is "I don't know". In business, you can never be 100% sure if you will succeed. The most important thing is to START. Once you're sure that people need your product or service, start. If you wait your mind will start giving you excuses.

5. I want to start Big: I always advice people to start SMALL but dream BIG. Every business you know started small. Talk of Dangote, Jumia, Nairaland etc. Don't wait until you have a million naira. Once u can buy materials and move around, start. It is not compulsory to have an office or shop, it can come later.

6. I have a job: A person can run a business even when he's working on a job. You don't have to resign. There are many businesses one can run that doesn't require physical presence all the time. You can employ someone to represent you.

7. I'm waiting for the perfect time: There will never be a perfect time. Quit procrastination and start NOW. Do that research, meet that person, buy those materials, just start.

8. I want a fresh business idea: Nothing is new under the sun. There is always someone doing what you're doing. The key is to try and stand out from the crowd. Be different and people will patronise you.

9. I'm not qualified: Unless your business requires a special skill, there's nothing to worry about qualification. Most big names today had only basic education (Dangote)when they started their business. Some dropped out of school (Nairaland) while some started as students (Jobberman).


What excuses are hindering you from starting your business? Please share them let's talk about them.

It is no longer news that several youths have
been killed in a gruesome manner in the recent
cult war in Benin City, Edo State capital.

The renewed cult war, which has left a lot of
casualties loitering the street of Benin has
reportedly calm down following the deployment
of the federal crack squad ordered by the
Inspector General Police, Mr Solomon Arase.
Before the IG’s deployment of special squad,
bodies of young men had littered everywhere
in the metropolis.

Meanwhile, some of the cult groups have
started burying their own, which they call
“fallen soldiers” or “victim of war.”
Some members of the Supreme Eiye
Confraternity (Bird men), popularly known for
wearing blue beret, were recently pictured,
burying one of their own in Benin City.

Meanwhile, it was gathered that one of the
state government officials that were arrested
on Wednesday, May 13, by the federal crack
squad deployed by the IG to curb the senseless
killings in the state, identified the man
wearing a half face cap with a bandana tied
around it as, Engr. David Olukoga.

46-year-old Olukoga, is the Chairman, Edo
State Committee on War Against Indiscipline
and Senior Special Assistant on Youth
Enhancement to the state governor.

From the pictures below, you will see several
members of the eiye secrete cult group
wearing the War Against Indiscipline (WAI) vest
alongside the cult’s blue beret on their head
during a burial possession.

Edo State has been marred with cult
activities in recent times. The major
opponents have been the Eiye, , and
Maphite groups.

Some days back, officials of the Edo state
police command arrested 11 people including
four state government officials suspected to
be leaders of different cult groups in the
state.

FlirtyKaren:
Vulnerably beautiful Adokiye Kyrian, peace ambassador, architect, singer and actress, made a big fuss sometime last year, when she revealed to Potpourri that she was still a virgin. Not a big deal, but in this fast and furious era where youngsters want to get high real fast and be done with so much in so little time, it is nothing but a big deal.

Potpourri got talking again with Adokiye on Tuesday where she dropped the bomb about losing her virginity soon. Adokiye said:

“I will let that go soon (meaning her virginity). What’s the point of having all the endowment and not enjoying life as a woman. Plus, people are beginning to call me names, like mumu and all. I have been thinking lately, you know, though my mind is not
made up yet”.

When Potpourri probed further and asked if she truly misses anything as a virgin. She will be 24/25 this year, 'Kiye continued:

“Yes, I guess I’m human. Don’t get it twisted. Sometimes I feel like I’m missing but each time I want to make that move, I get scared because I know once it’s gone, it’s gone”.

PP suspected this girl must have found a guy she doesn’t want to lose because of sex. so he hit her with the question.

“They always push” she replied. “Push, push and push. Don’t you know men? Aren’t you a man? Man, I’m so scared. But why not? I came with it I may leave with it”.

When she was told it would be an awful thing to do, afterall God gave it to us to enjoy. She cut PP short and replied:

“But God didn’t make it compulsory for me to share it with someone. Don’t forget about the Reverend Sisters. You know I’m a staunch Catholic. I was almost going to be one anyways during high school days. I grew up around Reverend Sisters and at some point I told my mum I wanted to become one”

You all know the season that we are in,incase you don't know we are in the farming season and as a Nigerian who understands the significance of the green colour(which stands for Agriculture) in our national flag i had to practice it lol. Was at my farm yesterday, Saturday evening doing some work when this fresh young dude (a bush rat) jumped out from it's hole and believe me,i didn't give it a second thought giving it a chase of its life(lol) and finally he met his demise at the expense of my cutlass,a super Sunday it is really going to be you all are called to table to join me do justice to it. Pictures of it are below (Pls bear with the quality of the image cos a farmer no go carry im big phone enter farm na,haha)#Ambassador_of_Agriculture.

ummmmmM! Wat is dis? Dis is RAT now. I was xpctn 2 see an elephant or tiger killed. I can't eat dat.

VOICEOFTHEMASES:
Seriously this madness going on in the church has got to stop. What are we Nigerians turning the body of Christ into?

Why on earth will a Pentecostal Church not let its members to marry a Catholic person. The moment a wedding announcement is made in the church and one of the member is from a different church denomination, you start hearing murmuring going on. Seriously this rubbish has got to stop.

Look at a church like Jehovah witness, there is nothing on earth that will make them marry an outsider, never. The same thing with Deeper Life yet these same people want to come preach for you. Seriously, we have got to stop all this.

In the book of 1 Corinthians 12:27 & Romans 12:5, the bible talked about we being the body of Christ. So it is an error for any pastor to tell any member of his denomination not to marry an outsider. We must put an end to this madness for there is no where in the bible that says a person cannot marry outside his or her church. The bible never talked about denomination, the bible only talked about the church as the body of Christ.

And to you out there that wants to get married and you are letting this issue of church stop you, I sorry for you because you be original mumu.

In case you don't know, God will not judge you on judgement day based on the church you attended but he will judge you based on your works. So don't let anybody deceive you in the name of religion. Christianity is not a religion but a way of life.

So dear pastors make una talk the one una see.

VOM

my church is nt like dat. Yu can marry an outsider. Wat mata most is d fear of GOD n love 4 each oda.

DatBossAssChick:
My goodness! Some people have no fear of God. A couple was caught at Ebeano supermarket in Lekki yesterday evening May 16th, using fake pregnancy to induce sympathy and make shoppers part with their hard earned money.

They were caught after they approached a man and asked him for money, telling him they had no dime on them. The man saw a female friend at the supermarket and told her he wasn't convinced the woman was pregnant with the way she looked. He asked his friend to use her feminine eye to look at the supposed pregnant. Continue to read the rest of the story...


The couple were then asked to take as much foodstuff they wanted from the supermarket. The man's female friend then tried to feel the woman's stomach and the woman immediately jumpd. So she took the 'pregnant' woman to a corner and asked her if she was really pregnant and she said yes. Not convinced, the lady asked if she could feel the stomach and the woman panicked. But the lady managed to feel it and it was all cloth and she alerted her male friend. The woman was then forced to show the fake bump.

A crowd gathered and not surprisingly, quite a number of them said they had given the couple money at one point or the other. They were later handed over to the police. Photos below..

AdoraAmadi:
First and foremost, it is a very big deal that Edo state Governor Adams Oshiomhole & his new wife made it to the Shaderoom, cos that's practically the biggest US gossip site on Instagram. lol. So big congrats to the new couple.

Now, the second part - just read these comments I just compiled. They happened after the website posted about the wedding, along with the fact that there is a 31 year old age difference between the new couple. And that Gov Oshiomhole remarried just 5 years after his first wife's death after declaring in 2013 that he will not re-marry.

Lots of them believe Lara is a gold digger. Some even compared their relationship to Tyga and Kylie Jenner's. Then the most interesting part - one of the reader dropped comments that Gov Adams' wife is definitely a gold digger and that Gov. Adams' son, Cyril, told her everything about the new wife. Comments continue after the cut.

cilifa:
One can understand when you are still both single and not sure if marriage will happen.

But after tieing the knot and become husband and wife, some women still expect their husband to beg for intimacy or uses sex as a bait to get something from the husband. Many women today still does not initiate sex even when they crave it.
Why then get married?

yu see reason y most men cheat on their wives. Bcus they Rr d cause of their problm. D deprivn ur husband frm sex. Well many men don wise now sha. 1 oshirey day 1 cona day wait d man. Ani man dat beg his wife 4 sex wil receiv 66 stroke of kobuoko frm me I swear.
