franchasng:
When you hear Americans saying their last presidential election was rigged, don't confuse it with your own type of brazen rigging as seen in Ekiti and Osun elections.

What they meant is some social media promotion firms from Russia created image lifting videos and campaigns to favor Donald Trump and to tarnish Hillary Clinton by exposing Hillary's past dark political secrets to make Americans dislike Hillary and prefer Trump. So they used Facebook more to push these messages to more American voters which made them to vote more for Trump, not as if it was rigged by changing figures like APC did in Ekiti and Osun.

Now back to Dangote, Dangote is the luckiest Nigerian alive and that's why he stay off contesting any political posts cos he knows past heads of states and presidents will expose him and kill his empire.

Dangote is not a self made billionaire. Dangote got his first business startup money from his billionaire uncle Alhj. Dantata + business connections and political connections from his father, uncles, etc. How many Nigerians had such opportunity If many Nigerians here have someone to give them just 5million to startup a business or fund their ideas, many will become richer in few years to come.

Dangote is the looting pipe and front for majority of past Nigerian heads of state excluding:

1. Abacha
2. Yaradua
3. Goodluck

Dangote gets a lot of tax and FOREX waivers running into billions while other competitors don't get! The FOREX waivers Dangote gets alone can make any mad man a very rich person

Let me explain the FOREX waiver Dangote gets to you.

If dollar is 365 naira in black market, and CBN is selling dollar at 310 naira. Federal Government will issue Dangote a FOREX waiver to obtain dollar from CBN at official rate of 310 naira to encourage him so he can employ more. Dangote will buy this dollar and move it outside Nigeria and round trip to make billions.

That alone is a multi billion dollar business that made Aisha Buhari and many top APC chieftains billionaires in 2015/2016 when dollar shot up to 500naira = $1.

They will get waiver from CBN to buy $ at official rate of say 310nairs = $1 and they go to black marker to sell it for 480naira = $1, now check how much they will make selling like $50million

Dangote gets monopoly while his competitors gets shutdown. Obasanjo did it for him as against IBETO!

Dangote and Otedola used to be sworn secret enemies due to his cousin Rahamania Oil issue with Otedola, what rescued Otedola is Goodluck that brought him back from Ghana as soon as he became president because Otedola used to respect him even while he was VP.

They wanted to kill Otedola, they slapped him with several fines and charges running into billions, Goodluck waived all that but still mumu Yorubas hate Goodluck even after all the favor he also gave to their god Tinubu's OANDO oil but just because Tinubu wanted him to give his relative minister of petroleum job which he didn't, he turned against him. Nature will humble Tinubu sha, soon!

So stop over hyping Dangote cos he did nothing special to become the political business billionaire he is today. When u talk about self made billionaires, u talk about the man in topic of discussion that brought us here in the first place

I shudder at the illogic of your ramblings.

First off, no billionaire is self-made! Musk? OK, why didn't he become a billionaire in South Africa? Bill Gates? Ever heard of the IBM coup? I could go on and on, but no. You only need one book. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Comment again after you've read it...


On a second thought, your propensity to dish out useless propaganda can only be matched with your rank jealousy.

You must be leading a bitter life. Learn to pray for opportunities to become half as great as Dangote.

Shalom.

Farming is quite technical and tedious for a beginner and can be a money burner. Same with poultry and other livestock. I would suggest some form of processing and packaging, or storage and retail to start with before venturing into production/cultivation.

OK. Well noted. Can you suggest some retail businesses I could venture into?

Hi Nairalanders,

I just received, as part of my inheritance, a cash amount of N3 million. I need expert advice on what is the best farming business to start in Nigeria right now.

Caveats:
*No eBook nonsense
*No export guide nonsense (I want to do the farming, satisfy the local market, then venture into export during the scaling phase of my business)
*No scams and fraudulent marketing gimmicks.

I do need inputs of experienced farmers. Thanks a bunch as you educate a hungry soul.

redflame:


Who is "everyone"? You and your moronic likes? Mtcheeew....nairaland are so full of mediocres.

I would have completely ignored, but your treachery can only be matched with your wickedness and willingness to misinform.

Was Azikiwe Road constructed by Ikpeazu? Bro, please project what Ikpeazu has done, which is rebuild only Brass to Faulks road.

I spent over 25 years of my life in Aba, and I do know that Azikiwe and Okigwe road were constructed by Dee Mbakwe.

Please present only the facts. Only the facts, please!!! I am enjoying this thread. Truth burns.

Pls someone help a brother with study packs and past questions for ICAN foundation level.5 subjects.

Please do they have a place I can drop off my bag? I intend to travel right from the venue after the exam.

Yes.

dayjeee:
pls house, I have an issue, I dont have either of driver's license, voters card or international passport, but I have birth certificate and my waec also clearly indicate my date of birth, hope it won't disqualify me??

Go to a court and swear an affidavit. You'll be good.

What an eye-opening topic! I'm a graduate of biochemistry(in saner climes, I would have said, "I'm a biochemist). I graduated as the 2nd best student in 2014.(I was 22). Fast forward to 2017, the only thing I can do is teach secondary school biology or chemistry, because there are no industries to engage me.

So, I'm planning to switch. I think I will settle for a career in accounting, after I have written and passed ICAN, though. I'm switching not because I love accounting, but because a man must find a way to keep alive. Teachers are paid peanuts. Accounting is the only way to get to the top of the corporate word in Nigeria. Especially in Nigeria.

As an aside, I think biochemistry should be included in the list of soon-to-be extinct courses as well. Students are being ripped off by universities that offer such courses.

Other courses include: Library and Information science, Microbiology, agronomy, biotechnology, etc.

Your decision is bad and good
I will explain
The bad first you have a good footing that would have sprung u up but you want to blow it.
I know someone that stay in his father house while working and was saving 80% of his income.he built his own and move from his fathers house to his own.
The good I like your exploring attitude
Against all odds.

Bad? With the point you raised, I don't think so. You don't get it. Build a house? Money? These things are not why I left my comfort zone. If I had stayed on my job, in a few years I could build a decent house in Aba.

I came to Lagos to discover myself, my purpose in life(that which I was born for). To break my circle of friends. To start a whole new life with new people I don't know. To battle for my bread, not to have it handed down to me, anymore.

Sitting at home wouldn't offer me the luxury to do all that. Honestly, I don't know why I chose Lagos, and I don't know where all of this will lead. But this inspiring one liner from Steve Jobs lights up my road, this road not taken:

You don't connect the dots looking forwards; you can only connect the dots looking backwards.

Partnerbiz3:


Some quora topics arent tailored to home naa..

Some, not all. The ones I can use to improve my life, I immediately implement in my life. Quora is like my Bible these days. I read. Then write 2 answers daily.

Have never been more alive!

chichichilolo1:
Tough decision there.

Yea. The toughest steps I've ever taken. But it's worth it.

Best thread ever! Quora means a lot to me and it has really changed my life. Nothing even comes close.

My decision(s)?

Quitting Facebook and WhatsApp

Ever since I deactivated and uninstalled these two time wasters my life has been pruned of all anxiety and distractions. I can wake up, meditate, exercise and get on to do my task for the day. No sidetracking. Also, it has made me to grow at my own pace. No endless comparison. Life is best lived one day at a time. One task at a time. One activity at a time. Multitasking is a bitch.

Leaving my comfort zone

Two months ago, I left Aba for Lagos. I grew up on the fourth floor(an expansive three-bedroom flat)of my father's four storey building. There I had lacked nothing. All my sisters are married, and my mom lives with one of my sisters as permanent resident in the US. I use to teach in an elite school where I earned a decent salary. But I left all of that. And ran onwards to Lagos where I now sleep on the floor of a self-contained belonging to the friend of a friend. I'm looking for a job. My family is furious, but I have made a pledge to myself. I have made a conscious decision to never look back. My bridges I have set on fire; there is no going back.

[Practicing Poverty

I read on Quora of a magic principle to condition your mind to survive the most adverse conditions. How? By living on $1(#365 at today's exchange rate) daily. I have been doing this for the past 10 days. Not only has it let me save so much, it has also conditioned my mind for the worst.

In summary, I have been radicalized by Quora, but this radicalization has helped me come to terms with the kind of man I will like to be:

A man who succeeds or is self-made in spite of, not because of, his father's little wealth.


I live for Quora!

IPOB clowns are at it again. Their unhidden hatred for Mbaka will be their waterloo.

You guys can go on with idol worshipping at Arochukwu. The shrine of your worthless chukwuabiama is still there. Go on and worship in peace.

But to drag Fr. Mbaka into it will bring destruction to the already-existing decrepit shrine of chukwuabiama and the proposed temple Kanu wants to build.

Brood of vipers!

Mehn, I took that test on the 29th of August. It was actually something else. I think it was completely staged. Here is why.

---

They let everyone apply. Doesn't matter if you studied an accounting-related degree or not. In the end, they included 45 advanced accounting and finance questions. Isn't that absurd?

I think in all fairness the candidates for this position is already a concluded list. The process was just a charade, designed to make them look serious!

My thoughts, though. You can share yours.

Rennie97:

I submitted in person

OK. They will get to you eventually.

Rennie97:

Chose IARCS too but i haven't gotten any mail or call

Did you mail your docs or did you submit it in person?

This news gladdens my heart so much. My alma mater is finally getting things right. Evil can only triumph for a while, but good always trumps it in the end.

Prof. Otunta is showing exemplary and stellar leadership. EFCC and ICPC must go after Edeoga now.
Corruption must be rooted out in our sanctuaries of learning first. For if the universities are corrupt, what will their products be? Akin to saying if gold rusts, what will iron do?

God bless Nigeria!

Smokeybrain:
Nlanders I don't have birth certificate but age declaration, will I be allowed to take the test? Thanks

Yes.

azz19:
3 weeks after BAT and still counting. The truth is it's quite difficult to move on without a yes or no.

Lol! Just 3 weeks and you're complaining. Yours Truly have been waiting for Audit AC since June.

You need to take a chill pill, bro. With KPMG, patience is a virtue. Some are faster than others in the process.

As an aside: I guess they are fillling up the numbers for AC. When they are done, I think "ACs" will start rolling out.
My personal opinion, though. Don't take it as Gospel.
