1. Never allow anybody use you to provide subsidy for their business. Payment of salaries is part of the operational cost of a business. If you are not sharing in their profits, do not share in their losses. The expression, 'I am spending a lot to run this business' by your employer should not be your concern. If the reward is not commensurate with the work, leave. Nor let anybody whine you.

2. Never you feel ashamed of that hustle that puts money in your account. The same people you are trying to impress will mock you when you go broke and not able to fend for yourself.

3. Having children from different women is a recipe for premium regrets later in life. The possibility of being abandoned in old age is great. Use your brain and not your penis.

4. Do not allow people to use the expression 'You are stingy' to scare you. Check well, most of the people saying such have never contributed anything meaningful to your life before.

5. Young man, 95% of your time in the university should be focused on your studies and future prospects. Check well, there are more male students having multiple carry-overs, extra years, poor CGPA than the females. It's not as if the females are more intelligent, but they are more tricky and manipulative.

6. Never you bring in any girl to live with you when she is not married to you. You are just feeding and grooming another man's wife.

7. No matter how lucrative your business is, never sponsor any girl in school if she is not your wife. You go cry nwii for Nnewi.

8. Oftentimes, respect your mother's advice when it comes to marriage. She is a woman and sees your partner deeper than you do. You might be blinded by love, but she is not.

9. Avoid excessive intake of processed foods, too much alcohol, and drugs. Your internal body organs will suffer for it.

10. If you are not from a financially stable background, please avoid early marriage. You may never recover from it till you hit the grave.

Know God on time.

As a young man starting life and looking for what to earn as a living, what business will be okay to do so as to take care of his family and have savings?

I have two business in mind that i choose to start.
1) printing/photocopying

2) Graphic designs

Which of this two is better for a man who is looking up to start a family?

Those are not two businesses, they are one. It is linear in nature. So combine them both.

Nigerian Football Captain Embraces Islam

A video making the rounds on X shows the captain of the Nigerian national football team taking the Shahada and embracing Islam.

May Allah guide him, strengthen his faith and make his journey a source of goodness. 🤲🏾☪️

I know they will say he was a Christian and now converted to Muslim. The problem is that if you are not a Muslim in Nigeria, you say you are a Christian, especially when you are from the southern part of the country.

Unfortunately, many people who are in the church are not actually the saints of God. They only identify with a religious name and never had anything to do with Christ. If you want to know if you are part of Christ family, your life will portray it. And when you find Him truly, you can't trade Him with any other thing or religion.

But I hope we are not exporting crude non - oil commodities?

Some women are terribly greedy and selfish

How can a husband asks his wife show concern and drop something to support atleast a part of one of the children's school fees/text books and she is resisting?

The husband has been repsonsible for the school fees and wellbeing of the 4 kids, but in this first term, the school fees have increased and the need to get a little support from a wife is creating discord.

The Federal government job the wife is doing was offered to her through the husband(originally meant for him), while the husband rather opted to be in the street hustling and in school too.

To cushion the effect of transportation, the husband had years sold his Bolt business car to buy a tokunbo car for her, as means of getting to and from work. Now the woman is working and at the same time running a side business, using the car as a support.

Anytime issue of supporting the family comes up, she flares up, whereas she sends money to family back home often (which am not critical of).

Out of the 4 kids, the husband has told her to take up a partial responsibility for one of them who is in JSS 3, because the fee is high.

Is it unmanly or wrong for a husband to call a wife to show support for children's school fees(at most partial support for one out of 4 kids)?

Or is she resisting this because she is used to not supporting before now, as i have never called for her support in any way before now?

Put the children in a school you can afford and have peace

My boss drove his car to a meeting venue. After a while, he came back without the car. The meeting venue is about a 10-15 minute walk from the office. After the meeting, he got into a chitchat with someone who hadn't driven to the meeting. He followed the man and walked the distance, eventually getting to the office, while the man continued on his own journey.

When it was time to close for the day, my boss raised an alarm that his car had been stolen. We were surprised because no one had come into the work area where he usually parked his car. One clue led to another, and someone suggested checking the meeting venue he had attended. When they got there, the car was parked exactly where he had left it before heading to the meeting.

Share similar experience that you have had or heard.

Mine was that I took the car to the office, normally I don't take there because the office is not too far from my house. This particular day, when I close from work, I picked bike and got to the estate gate. It was there I remembered that I took car to the office that day. So I came back and drove it home. Very funny!

That is a wonderful news. No more "Dangote want to monopolize oil sector". Go buy now oo

Good morning, everyone. I have been waiting for your advice on what to do and the next step to take.

I've already saved 13M, and I'm getting older. I'm turning 31 and have been considering getting married or building a house with my money.


Would you advise me to start a family with my money or to build a house and see where 13 million naira goes? I already have some land.


Please, I need some good advice.

TIP is appreciation for The Initiates Plc. Their stock price was around N1.50k as at that period the lady borrowed the money and it's value today is N33. Meaning if she used that money to buy a million units of the shares then, today the money will be 33m. This is how the rich use money.

Gentlesoul2021:
Good day N'Lander

I need genuine opinions on a relationship dilemma.

My younger sister is 31 years old. She's highly educated with a master's degree, works with an NGO as a Programme Coordinator and Mental Health Counselor, and is also a skilled fashion designer with equipment worth over ₦2 million. She's hardworking, focused, and has consistently supported our family. Her job has taken her across different states, exposing her to diverse experiences and opportunities. Above all, she's deeply committed to her Christian faith.

She recently met a fellow church brother who has expressed serious interest in marrying her. However, he left school after Primary Six and works as a traditional window louvre fabricator. While there's absolutely nothing wrong with learning a trade, he has had opportunities to upgrade his skills to modern aluminium fabrication but hasn't pursued them. Instead, he seems more interested in becoming a pastor or working in a church, though he currently has no clear or realistic path to achieving that.

Another concern is the family dynamic. My mother and the young man's mother serve in the same church unit. On several occasions, whenever he goes out for a job, his mother would call him back or redirect him for other errands, and she would even mention these things to my mother. This has given us the impression that she relies heavily on him, raising concerns about the level of responsibility he already carries within his family and how that might affect his future marriage.

My mother strongly opposes the relationship, believing the gap in education, career progression, ambition, life direction, and even family expectations is too significant. I understand her concerns and tend to agree, but it also raises an important question.

Can love alone sustain a marriage when there's such a wide difference in education, ambition, exposure, career growth, and family responsibilities? Or should long-term compatibility, shared vision, emotional maturity, and the ability to build a stable future together carry more weight than love?

I'd genuinely appreciate respectful and honest opinions from both married and unmarried people. Please keep the discussion civil and objective—this isn't about looking down on anyone because of their educational background or occupation, but about understanding what truly makes a marriage work in the long run.

Singles pay attention. If you are a lady and you want to marry a guy your father doesn't approve of it, watch out. That marriage, if you go ahead with it, 90% chance that it won't work.

This is applicable to guys as well. If your mother frawn at the lady you want to marry, watch out.

AI can hardly replace humans given that it is only as good as what humans put into it or train it to do......another angle is that AI can be trained to elite level which would mean that provided the right engineers and resources is being put into it's training it is expected to get better with time and could still serve as a threat to human expertise in certain aspects of human endeavors... nonetheless,this move looks like a Greek gift....these self centered employees are looking to have these rehired engineers train the AI with their own knowledge/expertise which could mean that if everything goes well, they will still be disposable in the nearest future....if I were them I will either refuse to train the AI or ask that my pay be made x10 or even include a huge payout clause on my contract that if I am fired to be replaced by AI I will be paid a huge amount of money as compensation.

Yesterday AI told me not to use it without human supervision, that if I want to get the best out of the ai system I should pair it with human supervision.

Executive Summary

An akara business is one of the lowest-cost food businesses in Nigeria with consistent daily demand. Customers include workers, students, commuters, market traders and households purchasing breakfast.

With good positioning, quality, and hygiene, a small roadside operation can generate **₦8,000–₦30,000+ daily profit**, depending on location and sales volume. Actual performance varies by location, pricing, ingredient costs, and waste. Food businesses in Nigeria continue to require careful planning because equipment, fuel, and ingredients have become significantly more expensive.

Startup Capital

| Item | Estimated Cost (₦) |
| --------------------------- | -----------------:
| Large commercial frying pan | 35,000 |
| Street stove (wood-fired) | 45,000 |
| Alternative kerosene stove | 40,000 |
| Large mortar & pestle | 30,000 |
| Buckets & bowls | 12,000 |
| Frying spoon/skimmer | 8,000 |
| Serving trays | 10,000 |
| Plastic tables | 18,000 |
| Chairs | 15,000 |
| Umbrella/shade | 35,000 |
| Wooden kiosk/stall | 180,000 |
| Signboard | 20,000 |
| Initial beans purchase | 80,000 |
| Vegetable oil | 90,000 |
| Pepper, onions & seasoning | 35,000 |
| Firewood | 25,000 |
| Kerosene reserve | 15,000 |
| Packaging paper | 12,000 |
| Nylon bags | 8,000 |
| Aprons & hair nets | 8,000 |
| Working capital | 150,000 |

Estimated Startup Capital

Low Budget (operate under umbrella) **₦500,000–₦700,000**

Medium Budget (permanent roadside kiosk) **₦900,000–₦1,300,000**


Equipment Required

Cooking Equipment

* Commercial cast iron frying pan
* Heavy-duty street stove
* Firewood
* Kerosene (backup)
* Matches/lighter
* Metal oil container

Food Preparation

* Large mortar & pestle
* Grinding machine access (or own grinder)
* Large bowls
* Measuring containers
* Knives
* Chopping board
* Mixing spoon

Frying Utensils

* Long skimmer
* Frying spoon
* Oil strainer
* Cooling tray
* Draining basket

Sales Equipment

* Display tray
* Table
* Plastic chairs
* Umbrella
* Cash box
* Mobile money/transfer QR
* Cooler for drinks

Daily Ingredients

| Item | Daily Cost (₦) |
| ---------------- | -------------: |
| Beans | 18,000 |
| Vegetable oil | 10,000 |
| Pepper | 2,500 |
| Onions | 3,000 |
| Salt & seasoning | 500 |
| Firewood | 2,500 |
| Packaging | 1,000 |
| Miscellaneous | 2,500 |

Total Daily Operating Cost

**≈ ₦40,000**


# Pricing Example

Suppose one batch produces:

500 pieces of akara

Selling price:

* ₦100 per piece

Daily sales:

500 × ₦100

= **₦50,000**

Gross Profit

₦50,000 − ₦40,000

= **₦10,000/day**

If selling 800–1,000 pieces daily, profits can increase substantially because many fixed daily costs do not rise proportionally.

Monthly Projection

| Item | Amount (₦) |
| --------------- | ----------: |
| Sales | 1,500,000 |
| Operating Costs | 1,200,000 |
| Net Profit | **300,000** |

A busy location can exceed these figures, while a poor location may fall below them.

Best Locations

* Near bus stops
* Markets
* Schools
* Universities
* Office districts
* Hospitals
* Church entrances
* Factory gates

Breakfast traffic (6:00–10:00 am) is usually the strongest.

Products to Sell Together

Increase average customer spend by offering:

* Akamu (pap)
* Bread
* Tea
* Agbado
* Soft drinks
* Sachet water
* Bottled water
* Boiled eggs
* Moi Moi
*Hooooooneeeyyy

Many successful vendors earn as much from complementary items as from akara itself.

Marketing Strategy

* Bright, clean stall
* Consistent taste
* Fresh oil
* Fast service
* Bonus scheme ("Buy 10, get 1 free"
* Early opening (before competitors)

Risks

* Rising bean prices
* Rising cooking oil prices
* Rain reducing foot traffic
* Local government levies and thugs
* Fire hazards
* Environmental hygiene issues


Maintain a reserve fund and review prices regularly as ingredient costs change.

Growth Plan

Stage 1 (Months 1–6)**

* One roadside stall
* Owner-operated
* Build loyal customers

Stage 2 (Months 7–18)**

* Hire one assistant
* Add pap and drinks
* Increase production capacity

Stage 3 (Years 2–3)**

* Open additional stalls
* Supply offices and schools
* Introduce branded packaging

Success Factors

* High-footfall location
* Consistent product quality
* Clean frying oil
* Fast customer service
* Strict cost control
* Fresh ingredients
* Good hygiene
* Accurate daily records of sales, costs, and waste

A well-run akara business can be started on a relatively modest budget and scaled into a multi-location, multi million naira enterprise by reinvesting profits and expanding into complementary breakfast products.

This one na big boy akara setup.

ebubeson:
When you accept Jesus and become born again, all the sins you have ever committed are forgiven, your name is written in the book of life and you are heading to heaven.

Why restitution? There are people you may have stolen from, falsely accused, hurt so much etc. If as a born again Christian the HolySpirit reminds you to return a stolen property or money, to apologize to someone etc, then you have to make such restitution and do it, else if you don't, you are in disobedience and disobedience is sin. This kind of disobedience can only be remedied by repentance and restitution.

Lesson: Disobeying the HolySpirit not to do restitution will send you to hell fire.

The more REAL your born again become, the more real you must restitute.
