Let me tell you a short story. When I was studying in school, I had a friend that I used to advice about getting an employable skill instead of masters, she studied guidance and counseling (educational psychology) while I studied computer science. I studied a course that gives a wide range of opportunities to become a software developer, database manager, graphics designer, website developer application software developer etc. I decided to settle for digital marketing because I funded the major part of my education myself.

Today she's stuck with her masters in a school teaching kids because she doesn't have skills but certificates but I'm here with 2 jobs and lots of side hustles without a masters.

I return all glory to God.
Everything is not about bad government, if you open jobs portal today, there will be vacancies there but the question is can you do the job?

Dangote recently employed about 11,000 youths from India, do you know why?

Good morning to you

[color=royalblue]So Educational Psychology is not employable?

Then the course should be scrapped then. Let only tech skills be taught in schools.

And if you think Dangote employed 11,000 Indians because he could not find 11,000 employable Nigerians, then i have Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge to see to you at a discounted rate[/color]

Does your country obey constitutional laws?

[color=royalblue]No.

You can see how the DSS is misbehaving. You see how people don't obey courts anymore. These are the effects of not upholding a law/laws
[/color]

[color=royalblue]Nigeria has a way of killing your dreams, that you begin to see abnormal as normal

Someone with a Masters is driving Uber, and you're saying he should blame himself and go and get skills.

Skills in designing on Canva or Facebook Ads?

No wonder we don't leave an mark on this earth. We just hustle to survive and die.

Most Nigerians we celebrate their strides in life are always those with the same Masters and Phd but in other countries.

If they were here, instead of empathising with them on how there are no opportunities, you blame them to go and learn digital marketing[/color]

donbrowser:
Anybody that's driving Uber with a masters should blame himself or his village people and not the government because there are jobs in Nigeria for skillful people and not masters holders. I currently work with 2 Nigerian firms as a digital marketer and I don't have a masters. I don't wait for the government to provide for me, you don't need a masters degree, you need skills.

[color=royalblue]So, we should scrap the Masters program from our curriculum?

A person with a Masters in Psychology does not have skills, right?[/color]

The problem is people in the country support them.. That's 1
2) they are also a buffer between us and Sudan and our intervention can also lead to civil war in Niger.

The border between us and them is porous as Bleep and we are already spread thin. THIS FOR ME IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE.

3) we don't know the number of international interests in Niger.


Point is which ever way we choose to act, it's still going to present issues.
Which is why I said it's another angle. Whether it makes sense or not is still a possible reality sadly.

[color=royalblue]If you know the bolded, then anything David typed there wouldn't make any sense.

Well, when a coup happens, the entire economic structure of the country starts to collapse bit by bit

No investor would want to put a nickel into it because there is no guarantee with the words of a coupist. He can be overthrown the next day, so why would i commit much into the country?

Stocks will fall, inflation will rise and then they would begin to jakpa to Nigeria; the same porous border we are managing.

If ECOWAS does not intervene, the NW is Nigeria is toast[/color]

liveLongNprospa:
Another angle

[color=royalblue]This angle no make sense, bros.

All ECOWAS is saying is that the coupists should follow their own constitutional laws. The moment you give room for a law to be powerless, everyone and anyone would take advantage of it.

So what happens when another coupist tries to overthrow this coupist? Should Nigeria come in then, or take it as another WIN?

Their election is in 2025. Let the coupists form a party and let the majority that loves them prove it then.

Giving room for one coup is just to give room for more.[/color]

DZTech:
What Expenses Are Encountered By Commercial Interstate Drivers?

Hi all,
I plan to start a transportation business, but I need advice on the 'lay of the land'.
I need a list of expenses encountered on commercial interstate trips, as in what would you normally spend money on, apart from fuel and tolls?
Especially in these harsh times? 🙇🏾‍♂️

What are the levies involved if using a park/garage or picking up passengers along the way?
Routes- Lagos-Abuja, Lagos-Southeast
Also, what essential checks/maintenance tasks are needed before AND after reach trip?

I look forward to your kind response, especially from our seasoned drivers, operators and fleet managers. 🙏🏻
God bless 🇳🇬

[color=royalblue]If you are driving it yourself, then you may succeed

If you want to give it out on rentals, you may cry hot tears.

Local government papers is as important as Vehicle papers. Always put your ears on the ground. They fit release new one this week, and if you no get am, dem go chop you

As a guy with just one Sienna, you will be indirectly working for Agberos. Lagos to Warri park in Iyana Ipaja, agbero dey collect pass 12k on dues for one Sienna per trip. Do the maths.

Lastly, business is dull. It would take a miracle to do 3 trips in a week (Park to Park). People no dey travel like that.

I wish you God's speed[/color]

OasisX:

larride:
I used to have high Hope's on South West DAWN agenda but I no understand wetin these guys dey do.

[color=royalblue]Imagine have a rail from Aba to Lagos

Let every state do their guage rails

Our governorsno dey try at all[/color]

larride:
You no fit tell them to stop disturbing?

[color=royalblue]People wey senior my mama? [/color]

OasisX:


....how is the Train ACs? Hope they ain't blowing hot air? E get WiFi?

[color=royalblue]The AC is chilling.

There are armed policemen and soldiers on board too.

Maybe it is because of the last attack sha.

Dem dey show better film, but women just dey gist and talk loud. I no fit hear anything [/color]

larride:
I think that route has about 6 stations.

State govt collaboration among regions can hasten up development but then our governors only know how to loot.

[color=royalblue]If states can provide the infrastructure within their states, then involve a Private partnership to provide the coaches and run the business

At the end of the day, everybody gets his own cut

It would go a long way to open the country, economically[/color]

OasisX:
🙄🙄

No pishure

[color=royalblue]

I think it is just a protocol to stop there.

We no even use 3 minutes sef, and the train continued[/color]

larride:
Awesome.

If we have train that connect all over the country, it will further open up the country and the potential it has for the economy cant be overstated.

We need massive infrastructure drive.

[color=royalblue]Very very.

I wonder why state governors cannot collaborate on this.

We just stopped at another station

Ladoke Akintola Train Station, Omi-Adio.
[/color]

larride:
Na indomie brand this train abi my eyes dey deceive me?

[color=royalblue]Yes.

I think it is an ad. Looks cool[/color]

larride:
Yeah it's far. Has the state govt finally tarred the road to the station?

[color=royalblue]Yes

It is just the path to the Iseyin road that is still under construction.

You'll just run on a path for like 5 minutes[/color]

Itsrm:
Yes, he has no originals. I never give it to them.

I'll sort it out tomorrow. It's the first time it has been an issue since I've been driving the car. No policeman has ever asked me about it.

[color=royalblue]Drive your car in peace.

The Lord be with you![/color]

larride:
The Lagos station beat this hands down.

[color=royalblue]It should

The train station here is far oh. Moniya. E take style far from Ojoo sef

They can't build such masterpiece inside this bush naa [/color]

Itsrm:
I was stopped by policemen today. He asked for my papers and I gave him the photocopies as usual. He said the engine number was stated as NIL. Told him that's because we checked severally and couldn't find it. He said I was supposed to get a court affidavit and police report. I told him there's no law that says I have to do that. He told me to park properly since I want to prove stubborn. I entered the car and zoomed off leaving him with the photocopies.

Any need to go report it missing in the police station and get a police report? I don't trust him not try something funny with the papers with him.

Izzou, Larride, Iamoyindamola, BlueRayDick and others

[color=royalblue]As long as he has no originals, please go and do new photocopies and move on with your life.

But he is right. You need to do an affidavit and get a police report.

There is no law that says so, but that is your proof that you truly own the engine.[/color]
