Lagos has no land for commercial farming. They have sold the better parts off. I foresee this happening more in the future as they will be buying up lands in other states cos they don't have land anymore.

I'm not a mummy boy but personally that's the last thing I would do. Can't even place a supposed wife ahead of my mum, a wife that came from nowhere and not knowing how my mum suffered to bring me up not to talk of a mere gf that might even be cheating on me.

I am very impressed with the both of your opinions almost like an expert marriage counselors. But unfortunately I am opposite of the man you described in your writeup. I shower my with complements buy her gifts every now and then , she drives the best suvs in my garage but recently I got proof that she's fvckin the driver. Even when she refuses me on the claims that she's tired from her business or tear she had over 10 yes during child birth is still paining her. Why this behavior
. Then change your approach. Buying those things does not move her and it seems being Nice to her doesn't either. Give her a break.

I wish to ask a question too..




I'd use a story to explain myself. I hav this female friend, we'v been online friends for years.. way back to the very times 2go came up, up till this day, we'v not yet met ourselves in person. Well dats not the issue. She says she met a guy sometime last year and dis guy in question is the nicest man any girl can wish to have, and dat he even proposed to her.. she told me dat she doesn't love him shocked


I'm so surprised.. like seriously, u hav someone who lavishes u with gifts, is caring, nice, gentle, cute, buh she doesn't feel any love for him.

I duno if u get my point


So my question is this


What is it dat a guy will do dat will make a girl attracted to him.. cuz from what she told me, this dude is 100 percent cool.. buh she just doesn't seem to return the feelings.

It's really hurting me cuz i"v been there.
girls are not wired to like such guys. I know it hurts bro, it hurts me to see girl take such guys for granted BUT it's just the way they have been programmed.

What is even stranger is that sometimes in the future, they start looking for such a guy.

mrssho:
I dont know why you guys are jumping down her throat. You dont know what happened with the neighbour that led to the quarrel, the husband should have asked her and its very normal for neighbours to quarrel especially if you have nosey neighbours that cant mind their business. If she was stranded he should have at least empathized with her if he didnt have money to send to her for him to start shouting is wrong the man seems like an impatient person. There is no reason why she cannot ask how long the mom is staying for, i ask my husband that when his people come to stay so i can make proper arrangements after all I am the one that buys food in the house so i need to know how many mouths i will be feeding and for how long. Even if i am not the one buying food, and i dont contribute financially someone is going to be in my personal space i need to know for how long so i can prepare my mind. When my people are coming i inform my husband and i let him know for how long. Marriage is not a master slave relationship where one person barks orders at the other and the other person is supposed to take it and not say anything or offer a contrary opinion. A true leader carries everyone along and strives to get the buy in of all affected parties and if they cant agree they reach some form of compromise. So pls leave her alone. Madam I feel your pain. I think your husband might be under alot of pressure, try and find something doing to relieve him of some of the financial burden he has

I dont believe the problems are individual ones but a collective problem. It is a national problem, so it needs collective solution. There is little or nothing the unemployed graduate can think about getting individual solution. It is a national solution that will provide the systematic framework for individuals to explore opportunities, but the functional system is unavailable.

Developed nations utilised education to build funtional systems where students and graduates can make prototype products (in line with the courses they studied on campus) which can later be developed into commercial ventures.

Students and graduates in developed nations have innovative ideas cos of the training they received on campus. The few ideas and projects/prototypes of Nigeria graduates dont get commercialised cos the system is a non-functional one. We have grossly underutilised education, left the right thing, now we want to force business ideas into brain of unemployed graduates. Pls where will they get the business ideas? Is it not the same pop-corn, barbing, carwash businesses they will think of for now? (supersaturated jobs)

Dangote could make it so easily cos of the influence of his late uncle Dantata( who gave him huge loan or capital). Osewa seun is a highly educated person who leveraged on computer skills and blogging opportunity developed by Americans.

Today, where are we in iron and steel production? Where are we in production of power generating transmission and distribution equipment and services? Where are we in bitumen exploration? Where are we in petroleum refinery when India has more than enough refinery as well as refinery construction companies?
Where are we in rice production? Where are we in software production (note that Nig imports banking sofware from India and Egypt)? Where are we in cotton to cloth production? Where are we in wood to pulp to paper production.
And many more.


My friend, the best way to get all these done is to develop the students and graduates of this nation to be able to develop machines to set up entrepreneurships in these fields.
I will respond when I am on PC. Don't feel too well right now.

pls get me right. I didnt say people should not engage in traditional entrepreneurship. Get me and get me correctly. My point is that we have grossly underutilised education as a tool for creating innovative entreprenurs as done in developed countries. It is wasteful graduating botanist, microbiologist, engineers who cannot create jobs in their fields but to engage in selling Chinese made products as well as pop-corn.

Pls provide your own curative solutions to the problem of poverty and unemployment, I have done mine.

There is no where in the world where conditional and traditional entrepreneurship became a tool for national development. Pls if am wrong tell me the countries that neglected qualitative education as a means for generating innovative entrepreneurs but only invested in conditional and traditional entrepreneurship.

Besides, I never said some people have never made it in traitional and conditional entrepreneurship, my point has been it only make very few successful and leaves poverty and unemployment on the masses. Thanks
The problem is individual based and nothing more. The average Nigerian graduate sees nothing in starting small from point A in order to move to his dream point B, add that to the unfavourable economic condition we have here in the country.

Dangote once sold cement from shops but his dream was to become a cement manufacturer. Akin Alabi, owner of Nairabet, was a serial information marketer who organizes seminars and sold ebooks but today he owns Africa's largest sport booking portal. Seun Osewa had indulge in other ventures before finding Nairaland. I could go on and on.

These people above used what Robert Kiyosaki described in his book and called it "Investment Vehicles", which is using A to get to your dream point B or point C. That is what a smarter person should do. Besides TOO many Nigerians just want to work in a company, most that engage business didnt do it out of passion but due to non availability of jobs. They don't even know that that entity they call a job is a business enterprise.

I personally do not believe that capital is a problem to reach one's goal, rather knowledge is the problem because there are people who are willing to invest in your knowledge.

yemmit90:
@oneolajire, it seem you dont take your time reading replies very well. I notice you believe so much in your discipline as a sole pre-requisite for industrial developement, hence your refusal to see thing from different angle.

Technology is the key but social, political and economic factors dictate how far a country goes in terms of industrial development.

Perhaps you go back to read your thread very well. You said 'institutionlization of medical field directly resulted to high rate of employed doctors'. And i reply if there were few available space for doctors service just like we have in many other fields today, many doctors too would be jobless. Go and ask those graduated in 1970's and 80's, they will tell you how they were begged go work irrespective of their disciplines.

Also, if you say IT/SIWESS is not enough, i agreed because i did not studies Engineering or related courses. But what about a few graduates who passed through the same process and were excel in their various fields today? I know of a man( an economist) who read ordinary few pages manual and he's a owner of a big farm today where he train the so called graduates. What will you say about that?

As for the graduates of agriculture, i dont expect you to come up with this again because you've already acknowledged there were programs for them.

Dont let anyone deceive Olajire, if any graduate serious about farming, he/she can easily cultivate several hectres of lack with little capital using the theoretical knowledge. If a stark illiterate who dont even have acess to any formal education can make millions from farming, i dont think they have any excuse not to practicalize what they study. Nigerian students/graduates hate practical and are very lazy. FACT#
The emboldened succinctly captured it. I refused to engage him because I read his first thread. I know a similar dude who degraded those making a living for themselves just as the OP did here but same dude created a thread asking "what business can I do with xyz funds" because he is now stuck in a job that does not allow him much time.
PoliticsBritain Is Most Corrupt Country On Earth, Says Mafia Expert Roberto Saviano by I888(op): 2:04am On May 30, 2016
He has spent more than a decade exposing the murderous criminal underworld of the Italian Mafia, but journalist Roberto Saviano believes that Britain is the most corrupt country in the world.

The author of international bestsellers Gomorra and ZeroZeroZero, has lived under police protection since publically denouncing members of the Camorra, a powerful Neopolitan organised crime syndicate, in 2006.

On Saturday he made a rare historic appearance at the Hay Literary Festival flanked by several security guards.

He warned the audience in Hay-on-Wye that financial institutions were allowing ‘criminal capitalism’ to thrive through offshore holdings. And he warned that a vote to leave the European Union would leave Britain even more exposed to the organised crime.

“If I asked you what is the most corrupt place on Earth you might tell me well it’s Afghanistan, maybe Greece, Nigeria, the South of Italy and I will tell you it’s the UK,” he said.

“It’s not the bureaucracy, it’s not the police, it’s not the politics but what is corrupt is the financial capital. 90 per cent of the owners of capital in London have their headquarters offshore.

“Jersey and the Cayman’s are the access gates to criminal capital in Europe and the UK is the country that allows it. That is why it is important why it is so crucial for me to be here today and to talk to you because I want to tell you , this is about you, this is about your life, this is about your government.

“Leaving the EU means allowing this to take place. It means allowing the Qatari societies, the Mexican cartels, the Russia Mafia to gain even more power and HSBC has paid £2 billion Euros in fines to the US government, because it confessed that it had laundered money coming from the cartels and the Iranian companies. We have proof, we have evidence.”

Roberto Saviano
Roberto Saviano CREDIT: JAY WILLIAMS
Saviano first started writing about organised crime in Italy in the early 2000s following the death of his local priest who had written an essay criticising the dealings of the Camorra.

After publishing Gomorra, a non-fiction novel which named members of the clan and exposed its business connections and criminal activity, his life was threatened and a plot put in place to eliminate him and his police escort with a bomb.

The death threats led to a public outcry from fellow writers, including six nobel laureates including Desmond Tutu, Mikhail Gorbachev and Orphan Pamuk, who warned the Camorra were becoming a threat against security and public order.

Signatures were also collected on the web site of the Italian newspaper La Repubblica calling for the government to protect him.

Saviano said: “I was 26 years old when I got myself into this situation and I could not imagine that it would end like this because many books have been written on the Mafia, but it was my book that made them so angry.

“I was telling real facts, I was naming names. My life is unique. I am followed by two bullet proofed cars and by more than five officers and that brings about a feeling of guilt sometimes because you exposed yourself too much, you were not cautious enough.

“But the freedom of expression that you enjoy is not to be taken for granted and there is always somebody who fights for it and if it’s not you it’s somebody else in your place.

“I consider myself lucky that I was not killed. When you start telling these stories you know that your life is at stake, you know you might be killed, but what scares you the most is defamation.”

Roberto Saviano attends a meeting

Journalist and author Ed Vulliamy, who chaired the session, added: “We want the people to try and understand the phenomenon of organised crime in a different light which delegitimizes the system.

“The people about whom Roberto writes use and abuse this word honour which is of course a complete inversion and the reason why this is such a historic event is that every day Roberto lives, the fact that he is here, is a dishonour to them.”
