ECOWAS force will intervene soon.

[color=royalblue]Is there any country bearing ECOWAS?

It is still the same part of our already insufficient armed forces that will go as ECOWAS.[/color]

raumdeuter:
Border no even dey that side, Na fresh reinforcement and ammunition to North wey dey struggle currently

[color=royalblue]With the kind of burden on our security forces, hmmmm.

I don't even understand what is the problem with French speaking African countries and coups

Mali has officially dropped French as its official language[/color]

[color=royalblue]Any violence that breaks out in Niger will not look good for Nigeria, especially the NW[/color]

Itsrm:
You abide by their rules. That's why you can go online in the first place to choose trips.

[color=royalblue]If there was no app company, whose rules will he be abiding with?

VIO and FRSC? [/color]

Itsrm:
Well said.

Except you're the president of a country like Nigeria, everybody answers to somebody. Nobody is his own boss in the real sense of it.

[color=royalblue]Very wrong, sir!

Na my opinion sha [/color]

“It was not Davido’s music that lynched Deborah Yakubu, and continues to frustrate the cause of justice. Nor has it contributed to the arbitrary detention of religious dissenters – call them atheists or whatever – such as Mubarak Bala, now languishing in prison for his 38th month

[color=royalblue]Wole Soyinka sef! [/color]

Segedinho:
OK baba.

Is this 20k job same in chevron?...if no....why

[color=royalblue]No.

But Chevron is not paying their cleaners 150k naa?


[/color]

larride:
Where can someone apply for these cleaning jobs paying 150k to 200k sir?

Omoapena:
A fatal accident just occurred under Anthony bridge, avoid that route as it’s about to get seriously blocked and also avoid taking Eko bridge to the island, it’s seriously blocked from barracks bus stop….

[color=royalblue]These were the kind of gists we used to see here, once upon a time!
[/color]

Segedinho:
It will o baba....

60k on today's market gives goosebumps.



Osho is too large for that

[color=royalblue]No sir

You are the one trying to count and spend another man's money for him.

If we use today's market to evaluate salaries, everybody will complain.

We are simply saying Osho paying 65k for a 20k job is okay. [/color]

Segedinho:
If davido was paying 60k per month n yet,he Is proud of it...I wouldn't consider it normal

Segedinho:
I said nothing less than 100k baba...

65k today is insane

[color=royalblue]And i am asking how a difference of 35k would make an evil minded cleaner decide not to harm his boss.

So, if they pay 120k, the cleaner no go thief abi?[/color]

[color=royalblue]65k is not okay, but 100k is

So na 35k go make cleaner no poison your food or arrange Evans to kidnap you?

Segedinho, is this your point, sir? [/color]

Conner44:
Well at least the UK once advertised . . . I just wanted IFSHR have that at the back of his mind for future reference

Now i also understood what dapo said perfectly. I just wanted to also point out that he can't use his own personal situation to mirror others here. We are all different individuals from different backgrounds trying to make ends meet one way or the other.

Many people who carry phones and log into nairaland daily aren't graduates like him or even have the time of day to open new books to read up trying to learn new skills on the fly. Some are also having some psychological issues that could hamper their cognitive ability to read, comprehend and assimilate written directions properly.

Take for instance omoapena. We all know he has a hp contract on his neck and has been coming to this thread weekly making cryptic posts that show he's struggling with his chosen hustle. Remember that unlike dapo the vehicle isn't his yet, also maybe he's married with wife(ves) and kids to feed, rent, medical and inflated fees to pay etc, now tell me what time he can carve out of his already tight daily schedule to learn a new skill without affecting his ability to cater for him and his families daily well being and also remit his weekly contractual stipend towards the hp agreement he currently has on his neck? I feel for him that's why anytime he cries I always reply even if he dismisses my help. I know he has a bird in hand but others want him to drop it and dive headfirst into the bush in search of more. I want him to master this hustle so he can pay off his hp agreement and move onto it her things ASAP.

I also attempted learning data analysis as omoapena is planning to do. I joined up with a class that was advertised here on this same thread a while ago. I went three-quarters of the way but had to drop off because it clashed with many things I had going on at the time. The knowledge is still there but I don't have it completely. It wasn't easy at all to learn it to the point I reached before life paused my education in that aspect. Will I learn further? Yes of course, but I will need time and calm to face it squarely to achieve perfection. Someday soon I hope.

I am a man that likes to try my hands at numerous businesses as far I have the capital and ability to control its dynamics. Yes I still have a desk job but I also import and trade goods, render specialized services which I charge for and create employment opportunities for people when I can. Unlike my dad, i will not work at my desk until my retirement age no matter the pay I receive. That life won't be mine. Stanbic pensions still pays me but how much? I see their alerts and emails and smile. It's nothing compared to what my friends earn daily running their own businesses. I go to the market and visit a friend and have to wait for his accounts manager to finish a meeting with him before I can go into his office to say hi. He never worked for anyone in his life except when he understudied his business. He is a simple trader. Buying and selling. I want to become like him real soon by the grace of God.

So izzou all I'm trying to day is that when nairaland first began, everything was centered at a place and people plus information was thrown everywhere. Thankfully seun in his wisdom decided to carve out sections and threads for specific knowledge to be gained. This thread here is for those who want to perfect their skills in ehailing in lagos . . . I am pleading for those who have other things going for them to at least allow people like omoapena and other uneducated peeps to achieve the aim of this thread before forcing them out of the nest while they haven't perfectly learnt how to fly.

There are sections for learning programming, agriculture, phone repairs, sales etc. rigjtvhere on nairaland. So why can't we allow this thread and its knowledge breathe for the sakes of those here and the ones to come

If you see someone doing something better than you please ask questions and seek understanding. Don't fight against it. Nobody know everything not even Einstein did.

Abeg my desk don full make I face my work before m6 bald headed oga catch me on phone I will still piss on his head I'm just watching for when rain is also falling so he won't pinpoint the source of his warm forehead when it happens

[color=royalblue]I no even know where to start sef

You rendered me speechless and textless [/color]

Gentlelife50:
Another lengthy reply loading

We die here

nihilistjnr:
You just exposed your gentrified self

[color=royalblue]Where you dey since?[/color]

BlueRayDick:
I don wonder if na that juju wey segedinho dey talk fit make Nigerians calm like this even when politicians are visibly using their head.

[color=royalblue]Imagine approving Hazard Allowance for medical personnel in 2023

So nobody dey pay them shi shi before?[/color]

BlueRayDick:
As in.... Governor wey hold civil servants promotion letters of 2021 and 2022 get mind to list release of those letters a year and two years as part of palliative to subsidy removal. So if there was no subsidy removal he could as well hold their promotion letters for as long as possible . smh

He even owes leave bonuses of March and April 2023 to the workers. Funny enough, the people will have no choice but to celebrate this "great announcement "

[color=royalblue]I don't even know how we were created as human. That memo is enough to burn his tenure to the ground

You were the governor since 2019, but you get mind use 2021 promotion list as pallatives

Jesus![/color]

Segedinho:
Maybe I am being biased by viewing it from an emotional lens, but,I think there are some qualities that the said cleaner must have possesed wch isn't really uniformed with a "just cleaner" b4 he/she can be employed by osho.

In all honesty,trusting someone with your apartment (home) of a famous person comes with a greater responsibility than others..

If you earn 1m per month and as a result can't perform some home chores like cleaning...what do you think is reasonable to pay someone to do it,bearing in mind that this person has access to almost every part of your home even when you are absent for a long period.

[color=royalblue] you are dragging him because 65k is small, then almost every billionaire and multi million should be on your list.

From our pastors, to philanthropist, politicians, i dont think they are many that pay a cleaner above 100k

Remember it is just a cleaner. There would be more cleaners, chefs and cooks, sous chef, nannies if there are kids.

Do the maths and he would be spending millions on paying salaries of house helps, excluding security.

Truly, it is your emotions bro. In Nigeria, 65k for a job of 25k is not bad[/color]

Conner44:
Wrong on the bolded above.

Not up to a year ago the UK was still advertising for drivers to come from overseas to fill up their shortages after their brexit palava. If you didn't see such adds I'm sure others did.

Now you could come up with a technicality that it was strictly truck & trailer drivers that were needed but the fact forever remains that driving is a skill period.

[color=royalblue]Asides from the UK, tell us another country that is advertising for drivers?

You understood the man's point. Why you want to twist it is what i want to find out. [/color]

[color=royalblue]Some of these state governors are shameless
[/color]

Segedinho:
Anything less than 100k is not okay....

A 60k has no effect whatsoever in the life of such a cleaner who is viewed as being lucky to have access to Osho..

People working for u as an individual(billionaires) are viewed differently from those working in an organisation cos they are relatively close to you than mere visitors

[color=royalblue]So because you work for a billionaire, you must earn big money?

Anyways, this cleaner is earning big money too.

Compared to 20k for cleaners, she's earning 65k.

So, in the circle of cleaners, he/she is viewed differently. [/color]

Segedinho:
It doesn't have anything to do with other cleaners .

It is all about a billionaires payment earmarked for a cleaner who was lucky enough to clinch the position...

My criticism actually is his boldness and justification of this meagre sum......

[color=royalblue]How much do you think he should pay the cleaner?[/color]

Pearl1910:
Do u remember probability?
In a bag of 100 Red balls and 100 blue balls d probability of picking a red ball when u pick one ball is higher than if there are 70 red balls in d bag.
The more u reduce the odd, d slimmer the chance of getting the variable.

The goal is to reduce your risk as much as u can, we aren't saying we can eliminate the risk completely but u can reduce it by striking out bad chances.

I will not agree if u say we should be carefree or careless and live our lives on d edge, anytime bad chances comes it will come, no matter how careful or no matter the precaution. I hear u but I don't agree.

[color=royalblue]Very self explanatory.

Say no more
[/color]

[color=royalblue]The rifle shots were mostly from Ikoyi prisons.

Are they saying almost 20 prisoners were shot dead?

That one looks fishy sha[/color]

[color=royalblue]BlueRayDick and Iamoyindamola

I am not surprised[/color]

In naija it is actually not that hard. Just some craze men on okadas in traffic.

[color=royalblue]With the way this issue has been trending, any attack on Davido can turn to a full blown religious or ethnic crises.

I just pray the extremists let this slide.[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Na true sha . Shebi he lost his election bid this 2023, he’s probably trying to stay relevance in the politics of his state so when the next election cycle comes it will be recorded for him that he stood up for the mob when it matters most . Smh 🤦‍♂️

[color=royalblue]Yes naa

Na a very good way to write your name into their good books[/color]

BlueRayDick:
But there are videos of Arab Muslims vibing to even worldly songs on the internet na ? Which kind Islam those northern Nigerian folks dey practise sef ?

If those people take speaking up against bad leadership serious like they took religion wahala , perhaps Nigeria will be better developed than some Arab countries sef .

I usually do not blame the uneducated ones amongst them but the educated elites like that Bashir Ahmed should be ashamed of themselves .

[color=royalblue]Ashamed ke?

He needs the followership of the Northern mob. Anything that would turn them against him cannot be entertained, even if it is common sense.

Remember when Atiku tweeted a condemnation of Deborah's gruesome murder, only to delete it afterwards?

Bashar knows what he is doing![/color]

Itsrm:
Bolt has no serious record of its riders. Policemen are for the most part useless and when they are not, they require a lot of inducement to even do their job. Driving on any platform is a high risk job.

Since you know all these, what will it take you to take necessary precaution? Picking unknown passengers late into the night is a very risky and foolish move.

If anyone here still does that, now is the time to stop. You may not be lucky next time. Even if your life is not valuable to you, at least pity the people you'll be leaving behind

[color=royalblue]"At least, pity the people you'll be leaving behind"

This is enough reason for anyone avoid such risk[/color]

CheerfulGiver:
he thinks he's subtly shading me while abandoning every modicum of common sense left.

Even devil dey quote bible. Proverbs 22 vs 3

[color=royalblue]Even legitimate online trips that drivers get at night, they scrutinise it thoroughly

You dont like the rider's face? You cancel
You dont like how they are wasting your time? You cancel
You don't like the fact they are 3 men? You cancel.

Then someone goes to a notorious busstop and randomly picks 3 unknown passengers, and you are encouraging people to do good?

Which kind goodness pass to stay alive for your wife and children?[/color]
