OLUPRECIOUS:
What should u do...
The first thing u can do is to forgive him and also forgive urself. Virginity is a pride of a lady but u don't need to be a virgin before u can have happy home(I mean virginity does not guarantee you happy home). 2ndly, open up to your spiritual father or mother or somebody you can confide with..tell him or her your predicament (don't kill yourself or die in silent) as it is now, u need help u can no longer help your self. As regards to d guy, forget about him and move on with your life . He is not your husband, he just took advantage of u and ur weakness, if u give him second chance or allow him into your life again, he will ruin your life completely and cause more damage to ur injury(I wonder why u said u still love him). Please run for your life. Lastly, rededicate your life to Jesus Christ, allow Him to pilot and take complete control of ur life, listen to music and christian sermon. Observe your quiet time and tell God to connect you with a right man. Peace be unto you.

GOD bless you for this post. You have said it all.

Let me just add for the benefit of the op and many others that we will all have challenges at one point or the other. Suicide is not an option because it takes you directly to hell fire.
I had a very critical challenge, prayed and prayed with no changes in sight. I had to be very patient for years. But thank GOD the situation has turned around for good now.
The solution to every problem is this- give your life to Jesus Christ, pray over you problem and be patient (very patient). You can never be disappointed at the end of the day.
GOD bless you all.

Silvermoney:
I guess I have a lot in common with this guy, based on how his family described him. I'm also a seeker of answers to existential questions. Unfortunately, there are no meaningful answers so far. And to think that life here in this primitive Nigeria is more unbearable than Avicii ever experienced. It gets stressful most times.

Believe me, what you need is to invite Jesus Christ into your heart. You will have peace and the needed answers to your questions.
My life had no meaning before Jesus came into my life. I was just living a frustrated life.

You can never know the beauty and peace in being a born again Christian until you accept Christ.

Anyone who has Jesus can never commit suicide.
There are just too many advantages of having Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. Please permit me to mention a few:

1. Peace that money can not buy
2. Divine healing
3. Freedom from destructive habits like drinking, smoking, hard drugs, pornography, masturbation, homosexuality, sodomy, beastiality
4. Physical and spiritual security
5. Abstinence from fornication and adultery. Do you know that many peoples lives have been and are being destroyed because of sex with demons in human flesh. Many people's sperm have been harvested and are being manipulated in the marine world.
6. Access to eternal life in heaven.
7. Etc..
My brothers and sisters, for your own good, accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.
This is the best decision I have made and anyone can make.
My life would have been in ruins or would be dead by now if I had not accepted Jesus.

A word is enough for the wise.

Jesus is the answer to this problem.
My brother, do you think every lady you see is human. There are ogbanje and other wicked spirits in human form roaming about the place.

I want to seriously warn anybody engaging in fornication or adultery; you are in double trouble.
1. You may end up having sex with a demon masquerading as a human being. This will pave the way for them to gain access into your life to cause all kinds of trouble: destruction of destiny, illness, poverty, marital problems, barrenness, death etc
2. The GOD of heaven will pronounce his judgement on all fornicators and adulterers.

Solution: confess your sins to Jesus Christ and sincerely repent from all forms of sexual immorality and sins and live a holy life.

He who has ears should hear.

GOD bless you

Keep forwarding this important reminder of the day:

*NO PHONES IN KITCHEN PLEASE*
Do you make calls or receive calls in your kitchen? Just 3 days ago, at a gas station at Osogbo, people were brought into the casualty department of a hospital, others transferred to OAUTH Ife for burns injury which they sustained while one customer was receiving phone calls at a Cooking Gas Depot.

Even microwave oven or induction stoves could be dangerous.
Some people cook with the phone pressed against their ears! Please stop making or receiving calls in the kitchen. It is as dangerous as making or receiving calls in a petrol station.

Please don't forget to notify your loved ones". If the call is very urgent then move away from the gas by 10-12 feet distance and then take the call.
Remember that your safety is your family's safety as well.
If this information is useful to you. Please don't lock it up in your phone. Spread the safety precaution news.

ddestiny20:
is there any smaller than d 2.5 Ton cause I need to start with something smaller

We have 1.8 Tons.

anthonydunamis:
When I was in secondary school, we had a way of classifying ourselves. Some of us were seen as 'Behind'- those who could afford Timberland boots, wear the coolest Nikes, looked cute or drove a car to school. Then we had the average guys- students from middle-class families who did some 'Behind' things but were not that cool. Third, we had the 'razz' category- those who had no swag, no single drop of coolness, no expensive wears, no automobiles, no slick lines for the girls.

I dare say I belonged to the last category for most of my six years in secondary school. I came from a low middle-class family and my parents (like heroes that they are) had to strain to pay the exorbitant school fees. I could not afford to buy new wears for school parties and the like, so I sometimes borrowed from my best friend back then. Thank you, Temitayo Taiwo

I was often the butt of jokes and mockery, as I had my face plastered with pimples and I was as black as a pot retrieved from the pit of hell. In issues of dating and 'hustling', I was as naive as they come. No girl was interested...and I don't blame them. I wouldn't have dated myself if I were those girls.

My inability to 'blend' with the popular crowd was frustrating and my self-esteem was at its lowest ebb. I managed to cover it up well by focusing on my poetry and smiling through the jests. A classmate, Oluwabunmi Femi-Akande once told me, 'One thing I like about you is that no matter how much you are insulted, you keep smiling.' But it was all a fačade.

I believed that I was that person the popular crowd told me I was- not good enough. And that taunting voice followed me for years, controlling my priorities, my time, my money, my emotions, my potential and my relationships...until I met Jesus. I became born again!

As I got closer to Him, my confidence sky-rocketed. His Word revealed to me that I am made for an awesome purpose, and all the gifts and attributes I need to achieve that are in me already!

I am now a totally different person, in all ramifications. And that's Jesus at work.

Please listen to me, my friend. For too long, you have allowed the crowd to decide your opinion about yourself. Now, you subconsciously try to measure up to the standards they have set for you. That is not true life.

Your dressing, the way you spend money, the hard drugs and womanizing, the lies you tell about yourself, the sycophancy, living a fake life and borrowing to maintain that appearance...it has to stop NOW.

Think about it. Ask yourself 'What am I doing today that is not really who I am but I do it because I don't want to be an outcast to others?' It has to stop NOW.

Now is the time to outgrow that nonsense.

And if you are yet to know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, accept Him NOW. He will do wonders in you, for you and through you. I love you and God bless you!

May GOD bless you abundantly for sharing this.

If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ, you don't know what you are missing.
I began enjoying my life the day I gave my life to Christ.
If you are into fornication, stealing, homosexuality, lieing, idolatry, drinking, smoking, partying, ritual...etc...you are under the bondage of sin and the devil. Come to Jesus Christ and he will deliver you from these sins.

Truly, salvation through Jesus Christ is the best thing to happen to mankind and you can only enjoy ots beauty and peace when you possess it.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

I have observed that some desperate LPG station installers have been advertising their services on this thread.
I hereby dissociate myself from such installers.
Any investor who deals with them does so at his/her own risk and I will not be held accountable if any untoward situation arises during the course of dealing with these installers.
They have not sought for my permission and I haven't given them any approval to place any advert on this thread.
They are violating a nairaland rule and I urge the moderators to take the appropriate action.

GOD bless you tremendously for this....I repeat, GOD bless.
My people, believe it or not, there are spirit husbands and wives and christains who are ignorant and can't pray are being tormented.
There must be a good reason Jesus said" my people perish for lack of knowledge". Note that Jesus said, "my people"- meaning christains.

I'm a living example of what this type of personal deliverance program can do. My life was transformed positively in the aftermath of this type of program.

I challenge anyone having any serious problem to first of all give his or her life to Jesus Christ and then do this type of personal deliverance program.
There can only be one result - positive transformation. But it may not be instantaneous, just be patient with the LORD and He will surely turn your life around.

The rapture will take place any moment from now. The signs are becoming more glaring.
The rapture will shock the whole world.
My prayer is that I will not miss it in Jesus Name.
The reign of the anti-christ will be too brutal.
If you have ears to ear, hear.

Do you have 5MT LPG Gas Skids in stock, now?

No we don't at the moment. However, we are expecting 3.5MT lpg tanks by the first week in May.

zeestone99:
Hello Justin, can I install a 5tonne lpg tank and a 2.5tonne tank on a plot of land, Land is not close to residential area. Will dpr approve it for a mini plant. Thnks

A plot and half or preferably two, will be suitable and will guarantee DPR approval.

Serious investors can call me on 07012617913.

I want to all LPG skid and plant owners to take safety seriously and desist from practices that can lead to disastrous situations.

DPR appears to be "relaxed"at the moment which is why lpg skids (especially the 2.5 Ton tank) are being mounted everywhere without much opposition from the regulatory agency.
Make no mistake, the proliferation of LPG skids is not being checked to allow the LPG industry to grow.

However, DPR will be forced to act and shut down many of such skids sited inappropriately if disasters occur. It is our prayer that this doesn't happen.

Please keep all sources of ignition away from your pressure vessel and filling gantry.

Meanwhile, I know most gas station owners are eagarly anticipating the december boom period.
Truth be told, I can't wait for the period to arrive as well because of the fast sales of gas we will record then.

The major prayer is that we shouldn't experience scarcity of lpg during the festive season.

JamesVIIILegend:
Yesterday makes it exactly 4 years that I graduated from UNIBEN with a BSc, second class upper. By God's grace, I finished with a 4-pointer CGPA and I left school with great delight and hope for the future.
In the last four years, a lot of things have happened. Yesterday was also the end of the service year for many erstwhile corpers, so I took the pain to write this down and share my story, hoping that everyone, especially those seeking for job opportunities will learn a thing or two.
As a young graduate in 2012 and 13, there were many challenges I faced and Some of them were even more serious sometimes because of my Christian faith
I graduated at the age of 26 and when i write application for jobs, some employers ask for long years of experience and age restrictions. Notable among these is the KPMG which I applied for but they didn't accept application from those over the age of 25. I was tempted severely and severally to swear affidavit in a court of law so I could adjust my age and be able to get these jobs.
A friend who was 27 when we applied did the same and got called for interview within months, when he told me about it that evening, it was just God that held me back from calling his runs guy to help me arrange mine.
I remember one of those days during NYSC when a sudden fear came upon me and I became sad within just because of the realisaytion that some good and reputable companies place age restrictions on their recruitment processes.
I prayed and wept that day and also made a vow never to lie about my age for any reason.
Fastforward to after NYSC- February 2014
I submitted applications in numerous places and in some instances invited for interviews. In a particular case, I lost the opportunity because I couldn't drive.
Two weeks after that one, there was a particular job opportunity I missed that brought tears to my eyes and pained my family members also.
It was a teaching job in one of those first-class sixth form Colleges in Lekki, Lagos.
Though they asked for experience, because of my passion for academics and also because the job was more or less a lecturing job considering the role, I decided to try my luck. The very idea of teaching excited me so much.
I applied and fortunately I was shortlisted for an interview.
Getting to the venue, I found out it was a very corporate school, they even had white students. The school had connection with some universities abroad.
The interview included some international exams including Cambridge exams for me. The exam was very hard and some questions were strange but I just tried my best.
After the written test, I was orally interviewed.
I told them the amount expected as salary, issue bothering around experience and so on.
About a week later, I got a message that I passed the first stage of the interview and I was invited for a final selection chat in Eko hotel and suites in Lagos.
Before that day, I had only seen Eko hotel on pages on newspapers and on the TV.
I didn't even know what to wear. I had no suit nor jacket. The shoe I wore for the interview was my grandad's.
On getting to the venue of the interview with my well-ironed shirt, tie and trousers, it turned out I was the only person not wearing suit,
We were shown to the office of a white man and soon, we started.
I need to state here that the institution hired a consultant to handle this recruitment for them, not all these agents.
When it got to my turn, I was right before the main man from the school and the consultant. The issue of experience came up again, but the consultant excused me and said I had no problem since I was personally recommended by the man teaching the subject because of the way I answered the question when he interviewed me in the written test.
The main man said since everyone one was okay with me. I was offered a congratulatory handshake and that was it. Even though I'd told them I would accept anything higher than 60k, they told me they would do better than that.
I was told I would be invited for a class practice just for formality since it was already concluded I've got for the job.
I left the place full of joy. I was so very glad. I couldn't wait to get home and inform my people. I even called them on my way home and they rejoiced with me.
Everyone was happy.
It was less than 2 months after NYSC- April 2014.
I started expecting to hear from these people but I didn't hear anything.
I was just sitting at home, expecting to resume my wonderful job. I even stopped applying for other jobs.
After about two weeks or thereabout, I decided to go to the school and find out the state of things.
I received a very sad news.
I was told the people they employed had resumed two weeks before that day.
I was also informed that nobody was employed for the subject I applied to teach. They said the person occupying the position who planned to leave the country changed his mind.
I stood there looking at the man like a ghost. I was devastated.
That was how the dream of working in such a nice environment was cut short.
When I got home and told my people, eyes were red but they tried their best to comfort me.
I had to settle for a teaching job of 25k per month I got through an advert on Guardian newspaper.
One thing about this particular teaching job was that I was told from onset that they assist their students during external exams. I also made it clear I would never be involved but would teach the students very well
For one reason or the other I was employed.
At a time in this school, I was the only teacher not assisting during external exams. I was overloaded with work. Sometimes I had no free period throughout the day. And the proprietress was not helping matters. She could humiliate anybody.
I felt like I was in a prison. To attend interview elsewhere na big wahala if she found out.
A time came I attended an interview with an insurance company. I was later invited for a four or three days training which did not connote automatic employment.
This school will never give me such time. NEVER.
I had only one option, take the risk and resign or forfeit this new opportunity.
I sought counsel from my Pastor who advised me and asked me to pray and take a final decision.
Eventually, I resigned.
My resignation led to war with the proprietress. She cursed and humiliated me that day when I asked for the previous month salary because it was a new month. I was so humiliated that I wept that day.
She rained abuses on me but I didn't reply her, not one word.
All I kept saying was 'I reject it in Jesus name'.
That was how I forfeited a full month salary and lesson fee for both Neco and WAEC for SSCE and also for junior WAEC.
I attended the training in the Insurance company only to find out that the job was a form of ADVANCED SLAVERY worse than the previous teaching job which I left behind.
So I was jobless once again.
This was May 2015 and I was staying with my Grandparents all this time.
I started struggling to get something doing
I attended some sham job interviews that the offer was nothing to write home about at all.
I was very desperate to get a job, but I couldn't put up with what was coming my way- they were not just worth it at all. Many employers are out to take advantage of the teeming unemployed youth in this country and I was not ready to be a slave.
One day, I stumbled on a post for employment on nairaland for the post of a Personal Assistant, PA.
I called the number and was asked to come for interview the following day.
I was selected for the job among the people that came for the interview.
It was a 50k starting job but I opted for it all the same.
That was how I was employed as PA to the Managing Director.
The first time I met the MD, he wasn't sure I was the type he really wanted. I guess it was due to the way I dressed.
He gave me few assignments which I did very well.
Before long, he complained about my dressing. He said I was not dressing up to his standard.
But he didn't just complain about it.
Some days later, he called me and took me to shoprite building.
He was just picking the clothes himself while I watch. Both shirts and trousers, all for me, without me paying a dime.
The one that surprised me was a belt he bought for me for 7k, till today, the belt is still as new.
The following day, he added sets of shoes from his personal closet. One of the shoes was even brand new. He did all these without deducting a penny from my salary.
The change around me was obvious to people, even in church. I tried my best to work very hard and my salary was reviewed upward in less than 6 months.
I didnt even know how to thank God for everything.
Despite the recession, this year in particular has been so wonderful in our company.
We went outside the state for a job together, and he left me behind to complete the assignments in those places.
When I returned, I was promoted from PA to Operation officer.
God has really been so faithful to me.
In spite of my age and lack of experiences, I have been promoted yet again in just over a year in the company. I am currently the company's Head of Operations.
I currently earn a six figure income to God's glory.
Apart from the money, I have learnt a lot on this job, my level of exposure on the job has been superb.
I, who was rotting away last year in a secondary school now fly in aeroplane here and there as If I am boarding bus.
My Lord!
I really bless God, because no matter the situation, he cannot forget his own.
I am not alone in this.
I also have other brethren who God has placed in good places today.
Some are running Masters abroad, some already lecturing, some on wonderful teaching jobs and other good places. I even jam one of my University fellowship brothers on a flight to Abuja the other day. He works in a very good company too.
I want you to share this anonymously.
I want to encourage the new graduates just released from NYSC that God will take care of them if they trust him.
The old graduates who are also still looking for better opportunities will surely be remembered. Let them continue to trust in God.
God owes no man.
It is not the time to start compromising by reducing age or lieing about experience. I lost many opportunities because of my age, but I bless God for today and what he still has in store.
It is time to trust God fully without hanky panky. THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS, IF WE LET GOD HAVE HIS WAY.
The experience was not that easy. There were times I made my mistakes in the course of the struggles. One has to settle things with God quickly and move on, learning to trust him more.
My conclusion is just that anytime we allow God to have his way. Things works fine though it may not be easy. The grace of God is what keeps us all going. There is no superman anywhere.
We are all what we are by the grace of God.

I'm very happy for you. The trust is that things can only get better for you, if you remain on the path of rightousness.
Your own situation can be likened to mine but I'm a businessman.
There were times I was tempted to compromise and cut cornersin business but I always reminded myself that Almighty GOD frowns against acts of dishonesty and was watching me in high definition wherever I was.
You may appear stupid when you decide to be upright but I can assure you that you will be blessed by GOD before long.
When I look at my present situation, I'm always thankful to GOD. I'm truly overwhelmed with what GOD has done for me at my age.
If you want GOD to bless and open doors for you, be honest and upright in your dealings.

ncolumella:
no I'm sorry....we smallest we have is 2.5tons

Please stick to your thread and don't impersonate.

Thanks.

ddestiny20:
is there any smaller than d 2.5 Ton cause I need to start with something smaller

Yes, we have 1.5 Ton.

This world we currently live in is getting more dangerous on a daily basis.
Anybody that knows the real agenda of these people can not celebrate this type of intervention.
Many evil things are happening underground that people are not aware of.

My humble advice is that we should all stay close to Jesus in these last days. The devil is now working relentlessly to destroy mankind by any means and since he made most of these folks rich, he can freely use them to further his agenda.

That is all I will say.

Jesuobu:
For those who don't believe in afterlife and heaven, read this news reported by CNN of a ghost captured on camera coming out of a dead man. CNN don't report unconfirmed report.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/14/us/spirit-leaving-body-photo-trnd/

There is definitely afterlife.
The very sad thing is that it will be too late for some people when they realize this.
There is heaven and there is hell.
You will only make heaven if you have been forgiven and cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ and live a holy life till the rapture occurs or breathe your last.
Else, the destination is hell.

Now, the time is short. There is no time to argue anymore. I will advice all sinners to repent and give their lives to Jesus Christ.

Very soon, sinners will watch and read the news of the rapture on tvs worldwide. By that time it will be too late.

You have a choice to make before the rapture occurs or breathe your last.

May the Lord help you to make the right choice.

msogunro:
Can you give me an estimate of what each of the items above would cost? My cousin is thinking of getting into this business so I'm doing some research for him.

Thanks.

The issue is that the prices of some of these items change often- at times almost on a daily basis.

50kg is about N22, 000 presently. If you are in lagos, you can go to these warehouses in mile 2/agric or Alaba Intl. Market to get the best prices.

I must greet you OP, these are the kind of ideas we need in Nairaland. I saw your breakdown for those who wish to start the small retail business, can you please help with the current prices of all items needed? And am totally new to this stuff, how do I go about the whole thing, would have loved to speak with you personally. Thanks.

It is hard to give you current prices of these items because the prices change very often these days- at times up to thrice a week.
Where is your location to start with?

Why don't you approach one of the gas retailers around for the purpose of training. Once you train with them, you will be put through all you need to do.

dozie3030:
how do i contact you

avogadrolpgas@gmail.com

jahstech:
Am in delta state

Okay, you can go to the Alaba International market type of market you have in Delta State to get these items.
You can contact me when you go so I can give you the lagos prices for these items which will aid you in negotiating and getting a good bargain.

dlagunju:
Hi Johnstin - please do you know any company that supply or deliver domestic gas to homes in Lagos?

You can make enquiries from gas plants, skid plants or retailers in your area.
It is better to use those gas stations within your community to reduce the transportation charge for home delivery.

Ademini:

pweetylivia:
This is the problem with Elegushi beach. I wonder the kind of marine spirits that are there, lurking around, looking for young people to devour. That is the last place I'll ever go to have fun. I've lost people to that beach. Even Last December, youths of my church went there to have fun but 2 boys died. Thank God I didn't go. How it happened is still a mystery. It is well.

Marine spirits are real. I repeat, they are real. They have been claiming lives at beaches and will continue to do so.

If you don't have Jesus Christ in your life, you are in danger at any of these beaches; it doesn't matter if you are the best swimmer in the world.
He who has ears should hear.

Good day to you all,

The price of cooking gas has been on a steady rise for some weeks now and the situation appears to be getting worse.
The product is available at just one of the depots in Lagos, so they have been jerking up the price as it suits them.
Many investors are getting worried about this trend and rightly so.

I received credible information today that lpg vessels conveying gas to the other depots (Nipco, Ppmc, Forte oil) will berth and discharge by wednesday next week. So prices are expected to drop by next weekend.

At this point, I want to say a big thank you to all those that have done business with us so far so good.

May your businesses continue to flourish in Jesus Name.

bigfatthing:
Chilling with the 5kg I bought on Tuesday, but if the thing finish........ Is that how I'll die?

My brother, don't be worried. Lpg vessels will discharge at other depots next week and the price will drop.
At the moment, the product can only be sourced at just one depot in lagos (namewithheld) so they are just jerking up the price the way they like.

henrixx:
OP I've been following this thread secretly and I hope to delve into this business but I plan to start small... What is the cost of starting the retail version.. Like how much do I need?

Cost Estimate to start a retail outlet(excluding cost of renting a space)

1. 6 units of 50kg Cylinder - 6xN19, 000= N114, 000
2. 1 unit of Digital Scale - 1xN43, 000
3. Gas (50kgx6) at Gas Plant- N7, 500x6= N45, 000
4. Hose, filling heads (camping, standard, nido, utti& cut), rubber, adjustable spanner, set of spanners, screw driver, wrench, clips, needle etc - N20, 000
5. Cylinders, burners, regulators and hose for sale - N50, 000

Total - N272, 000

Hope this helps.

DESNAT:
there is heaven,there is hell.....but church doctrines are not d requirement for making heaven. Salvation is d sure ticket 4 heaven. misinterpretation of d scripture is our major problem in Nigeria,we focus more on the external appearance(which doesn't really matter) than the internal(salvation). by God's Grace we shall all make it to heaven.

It is only those that have been saved by the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and remain holy till death or rapture that wilk make it to heaven.

Church doctrine or no church doctrine, the requirement to make it to heaven is holiness.

True christains are led by the spirit of GOD. Anyone that disobeys the spirit of GOD will not make it to heaven.
