May God help us.... office job is just a waste of time

Amen

emoboy4u:
9-5 get levels.. don't use your situation to generalize. You no ask mama how long she has been in the business.

And what is the certainty that you would make it with business. There are more failed businesses than successful ones, but nobody will come out to admit it.

On your own case, you were likely not well informed which made you complacent.

Fresh graduate trainees in banking industry earn nothing less than 300k, and not less than 200k six years ago except for a few.

Please travel the lands, network with people, join LinkedIn, Twitter. You need motivation to move away from that job keeping you hostage.

Thank you for the advice I'll try to follow through

I just stopped my 9-5 this Month to focus on God, Family and Farming.

No regrets, I just know the future is bright once I get things right with God, Family and Farming.

This is both courageous and inspiring. With God you can never go wrong. And yes, family comes before any job. Cheers

Na now you know? I worked as a manager to a businessman for over 8 years, my highest salary was 100k. Meanwhile, 2 apprentice boys who started learning trade for 5 years got their freedom, and their boss opened new shops for them. Both are using GL and the other Lexus with houses both in the cities and in their villages. Even my babe then, whom I invested 200k in setting up a business, is worth over 18M now. If I hadn't quit that job, maybe by now, I would have been their gateman. If I'm not learning or gaining experience with the job, or it is not a government job, if you like pay 600k per month, I NO work.

Abeg which type of business did you invest 200k for your babe that has turned into 18 million, and what kind of trade did those guys learn? Knowledge is power.

The other day I was talking to mama. Mama is an elederly woman that sells bread on a table by the side of the only market in the rural area. In the process of our conversation she remarked "what is 500k? I made sales of 1.4 million last December". And this is me, holding a degree from a first generation University in engineering earning 160k after 6 years in the company. It dawned on me that I should have opted for the business track right from my undergrad days. Most white collar jobs in Nigeria are a waste of time and talent.

DZTech:
Everybody eats and drinks.
Most people commute daily.
Many living in homes are overworked.

So long as you can solve one or more of such problems, you'll succeed.
God bless 🇳🇬

Few words but strong message that I'll put to work hopefully. Thanks so much

SultanYoung:
Pay charge.

But first what's your location.

Lol no problem. I'm in Rivers State but not in Port Harcourt. I don't mind relocating to wherever that will be favourable.

Life happened and I had to travel to another state to take a job 2 years ago . The salary is 160k but the worse is that the people here are so hostile and don't want to see me. So for my security I am considering leaving.
I am wondering what business can I start that can generate similar amount monthly ? I appreciate your suggestions as it would go a long way in guiding my strategy this year. Prosperous 2025 to all.

don't try to save yourself let Jesus save you instead, just as you don't know if she is evil or not is the same way Jesus doesn't expect us to know when what we eat or drink is poisoned and said those who believe and are baptized they will eat poison but it won't hurt them.

Not saying we won't fall sick but to give you confidence that your main source of protection can only come from God who sees all. Do you believe?

Certainly the Lord has always been and will continue to be our strength[/quote]

SisterAnn:
Op, na Yoruba woman? If yes, your own don finish o

She is an Ogoni woman. But any solution in sight? Assuming she is up to no good.

nolzautoz:
Wise up man, you’re in Africa. Evil runs in our blood. Better pretend to be poor make nobody reason your matter. If you get 10m for aza, do like sey na 1k dey your hand. Use your head. Nobody really wishes you well except your parents, wife and kids. Even your siblings no wish you well.

Thanks bro. You have reaffirmed my suspicion. This seems to be a sad reality in Africa. Many people, even those we trust don't seem to wish us well.

Please I need the spiritually discerning to shed more light the topic. There is this woman selling petty foodstuf on the street usually take home in semi rural area I moved into temporarily for work. She consistently demands I buy her drink. Initially, I tried to support her by buying items from her stall. However, she became aggressive and confrontational when I stopped buying from her. To avoid conflict, yesterday I gave her ₦1,000 cash yesterday after she refused a drink offer insisting on cash.

But when I told others on the street they blamed me very badly , saying everyone avoids her ithat she is Diabolic and will use the money against me. So I'm asking does this power actually exist or work? If so, what should we do to save ourselves?

Please what aspect of tech can easily put food on the table from or in Nigeria. With this economy, I don't see people seeking the services of a data analyst and I don't think a foreign company will trust a Nigerian with their online security remotely for those who talk about cybersecurity.

Sportybet and bangbet



Finish

I've lost so much to betting, I stake like 20k at times for as low as 2 odds or thereabout, but still tend to lose. Please how can I link up with you on WhatsApp?

Peisero has not introduced anything new into the mediocre super eagles team. We have Nigerians playing and some scorring in European championships like the Europa League, conference league etc. But he keeps bringing the same set of players. We don't have forceful attacking midfielders. We need to address the midfield otherwise they'll be little the attackers can do

There's this lady I recently started hanging out with. I overheard someone who didn't know I knew her telling another person how this lady 'hustles' in one of the popular bars/clubs in town. So I asked her and she denied. But recently while hanging out together, I saw a video of a stripper livestreaming in her phone beckoning on people to attend a strip party. I have never been to a strip party before let alone having the contacts or links to strip party. I tried to ask her about it and she said it is livestreaming from a strip lounge in high brow area in town. My question is could she be one.of them or a sexual hustler?

[quote author=ValCon888 post=118030131]The first mistake you made was to show him you're afraid of him. He used that fear to force you to make the second mistake of paying him the 200K.

You are very right. Can't imagine how a Lagosian like myself will be guilty of this mistake.

PoliteActivist:
Legally you are not even obligated to pay him the 200K. But you paid him out of fear. Well the same fear obligates you to pay the balance because we are no longer talking legality but fear. Just as people are not legally obligated to pay kidnapers but pay!

Please let's talk legality, do I have the rights to refuse to pay the 150k on the grounds that I will pack out?

The man thinks that because I don't have a family then I have nothing to do with money and therefore he can exploit me. If I have to add the handouts I give him when he complains about one problem or the other then it would be another story. Also he is a weed and cocaine smoker.

Mjshexy:
And the father was incommunicado at that point

His father is late. His aged mum is terrified by the boy. He isn't even the first son but doesn't want to hustle goes about claiming cultist and landlord

Guys thank you for your insightful opinions. I agree I made a mistake. But now I'm willing to resist him come what may as per the 150k balance. But I want to know if I'm on my right. Can the new agreement be disregarded on the grounds that I don't wish to continue the tenancy after the expiration of my rent paid so far?

I moved into a one bedroom flat which I paid 350k per annum. At the expiration of my rent I told the landlord ( actually the son of the landlorl) I was going to packout as I am expecting to be transferred at my workplace. He insisted that I should pay him a years rent again, when I get transferred he will refund my money. He sounded desperate and confrontational, so for sale of peace having heard he is a cultist, I paid him 200k and he wrote an agreement that I will balance 150k by the end of the next month (November) which I signed. But I later confirmed that I will be transferred away to another state sooner than I had expected.

I have informed him I won't pay up the 150k balance as I intend to packout after the 200k I paid him elapses. But he insist that because I signed the agreement I must abide by it as he will refund my money incase I leave ( I know he is lying).

Am I obligated to pay the balance even when I don't intend to stay another complete year in his house having signed the agreement?

Business1230:
An average Nigerian gal has body count above 250 before she gets to 30... That's even for the saints type.

This is fact, not to be disproved. Do you know how many guys ask for our numbers a day, do you know how many we find adorable and would want to befriend. Do you know how hard it is to resist some guys ?

Do you know our greatest weapon is secrecy, that no man should know how shameful we have turned out to be with our body counts.

This is a fact, u can ask ur honest sister.

250? Are you sure? What will be left for the future hubby? And then they will wear white gown on the wedding day as if they are clean

He wanted me to give him 500k inorder to swap. But with your advice I wouldn't even swap again even if he was to give me 1 million.

A friend of mine, is offering to swap his 2012 Peugeot 508 with my Camry 2008 for a little top up. The 508 looks beautiful but I will like to know if it is a wise idea. Please someone conversant with Peugeot 508 should kindly advice me on whether it's wise to swap the Camry for the Peugeot 508. Thanks

Sabaly didn’t play at the afcon ,he just returned back from a long term injury

Liverpool beat porto suddenly zaidu is a very bad player ,I don’t know what brought club football to national team ,you must be so confused ,David alaba is a very poor player because Barca violated him ,most of you guys are very funny ,I am sure you are a livescores merchant and speaking out of anger

Diallo is a confirm bench warmer at Psg remember ,not saying he is a bad player sha

Thanks for revealing your beer parlour style

Your defense didn’t cost you the World Cup but here you are capping

Which best attacker has sabaly and ballo toure played against ? You just exposed your poor knowledge about the game because of anger ,you won’t even blame the right players because of sentiments

Rest man as you know nothing about football ,you can keep disgracing yourself as few others have been
doing ,most of you are worst than the comments I do read from complete sports to crack me up

If you contest the fact that the current crop of super eagles players are very average then you are the one guilty of beer parlour analysis. Did you follow the super eagles during Afcon 94 or Atlanta 96? and even Afcon 2000 If not please watch their clips and go back and watch the Ghana/Nigeria playoffs. This is the worst Nigerian team I've seen. I had emphasized that the defense was filled with people that haven't played football for the past two months except saidu and bassey. But the defense isn't the reason Nigeria lost. The reason they lost to a very weak Ghanian team was due to the clueless decisions of the coach, the goalkeeping (no professional goalkeeper should had been scored by a direct ball he could have simply kicked away), and the midfield. He didn't feature any creative or attacking midfielder and at a point fielded four attackers at a time. Who does that in modern football? Ghana wanted it more and hired premier League and bundesliga based technical advisor and coach respectively. These are just facts. Nigeria didn't do her homework and expected to wni. I had earlier predicted Nigeria's loss not that I wanted my country to lose but was only being objective, as a realist I have deceiving myself .
Between the Senegalese team totally outclasses the Nigerian team in terms of stars. That's why oliseh has predicted that they may win the world cup even though I don't see them topping their group. They will compete with Qatar second for place in their group. And definitely an African team won't win

chrisooblog:
Hello house kudos to everyone for keeping things moving just finished drying my from last week
Osimhen is a very talented footballer with huge potential but his unguarded social media posts hurling insults have no justification whatsoever. Yes Ikpeba was selective in who he was trying to criticize but the content of the criticism was fair and didn't deserve that kind of uncouth reaction. The young man needs to do better not just on the field but in the way he controls his emotions.

Intelligent post. His EMOTIONS. His success and the indispensable nature he seems to be having in the super eagles has gotten to his head. Even in the pitch he was always excited, laughing and carried away with emotions as if the game revolves around him. He tried to impress with those bicycle kicks. Now he is presenting same emotions on social media. When Nigerians were sentimentally wailing the absence of osimhem,Dennis and igalo at afcon,I had remarked that even if they were present, it wouldn't had changed much.

If Umar Sadiq was given the starting position in place of oshimem he would have converted atkeast one of the chances oshimem had. Non of his attempted bicycle kicks were on target.

andrewbaba44:
Apart from few monikers here who are blinded with sentiments and double standards nobody will dare put osimhen at the same level with mane auba mahrez

And I disagree with you saying he was feeling like a big boy ,Victor is not such type of player ,he is a hard worker

Because naija didn’t go to the World Cup then automatically naija doesn’t have the best talents in African football anymore ,calm down with your beer parlour analysis

Do we have the best players in Africa? How old were you when Nigeria last won the African footballer of the year in 1999. Look at the sengalese team ...most of them playin the UCL some of won it.
Do you know how to analyse? What way does Nigeria have the best players in Africa? Name one of them that is currently playing in the champions League let alone one of them that has ever featuresd in the UCL semi finals.
I maintain that Nigeria doesn't have the best players in Africa, igalo, Musa, etebo, etc?

Footballers like ekong, balogun and ndidi put up good display in national colours, really a pity they won't be going to the world cup. I admired the confidence with which ekong stood up for the penalty kick. I think oshimem is overhyped and not at the level of Mahrez, abubakar, sadio mane , aubameyang etc. He was feeling like a big boy on the pitch in the final play off against Ghana, always animated or excited, tried to score in flashy styles to show oshimem is back, instead of keeping a level head when taking his chances. He missed several chances in which he should have tried to be less acrobatic and just target the net with precision. The fact is that Nigeria no longer have the best talents in African football

Even a novice would have known after that afcon 2021 that eguavon was not right. When I emphasized this, someone scolded me and was making reference to the group stage victories of afcon and I could just wonder how shallow one could be in thinking. Tactically eguavon is terrible. Nigeria doesn't want to spend money and bring seasoned coaches. Nff should be overhauled. It is a failing system at the moment. Pinnick should be sent out. Even cameroun appointed people who have earned the right to be at the helm of their football development..eto and rigobert song. Who is Pinnick?
