Before seeking funding; Have a product or Service already built up, running ,established and tested on a small scale size population and market with Success

Most.investors ( venture vapitalists) fund/ invest in Expansion, I learnt this from quora

Most pioneers or business starters had to use personal funds, angel investors.(friends, family, one man.investors ) to raise money to start

Professional investors mainly invest for Expansion of already successful established businesse that us already established business models

For example, American Record Labels had signed
Dbanj, Davido and Wizkid only after they had proven to be successful in the African market and signed and invested in the artistes to try to enlarge and expand each musical Artiste's already african market established established music business in the International Market to make more International Money for both parties

Ok. Thanks. But I don't have the time to go with him. Can I ask him to go there and allow me speak with the doctor on phone after he has been assessed? Is it polite?
iT SHOULD BE OKAY. He might need to pay for initial consultation and file opening sha. they are an eficient private hospital at reduced cost...not free sha

He should explain to the Doctor on conclusion that his bro that is sponsoring needs to speak with the Doc after seeing him for update

There's this fuel attendant in one of the gas stations close to my house and each time I go there, I like buying from any pump he is selling from cos I kinda like his personality. All these while, I never knew he had a bad leg. Last week, I went to buy fuel there and while trying to park properly, I noticed his awkward way of walking and I inquired about it. He said he had an accident and the leg has been like that before he came to Lagos and it isn't a new injury. I looked at the leg and noticed the big toe had cut off and the other toes had sore and the entire foot was swollen. It appears the leg is rotting away. I intend to assist him a bit with the treatment but do not know how much it would cost and the whole process. More so, I think a govt hospital would be ideal for him to get treated. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to take him there.

Is there someone here who works with a govt hospital who can look at his case and advice on what next to do? I think a private hospital would be too expensive and I don't really have too much to spare on his treatment.
I'd love any assistance any medical practitioner here, can render.
Nice one on the part of You OP, please Try Airforce Military Hospital Ikeja......Like Private Care service, slightly above Government price

id911 Please contact Me through my email address on my signature, There might be a job with accomodation for YOU if You are fit and Competent for the JOB. The pay might not be much but You could take it as a stop gap solution for now. Its a mental involving job involving internet and You stay on the premises.

A lot of Africans are our own worst enemies. See Indians and Pakistanis and Latinos help each other abroad and in their own Country with employment links, job contacts, school and inforrmation links.

Instead of some people asking people they know about available jobs for the OP, they are busy asking the OP to sleep with His Benefactor that is housing him's wife. What NONSENSE. Tell Me The Sleep With Another Man's Wife Crew? Would You House Your PARTNER'S RELATIVE and have the relative Pay YOU BACK BY SLEEPING WITH YOUR PARTNER IN YOUR OWN HOUSE.

I learnt one thing in this Nigeria. A lot of People who blab about Networth and achievements don't most times provide Practical results nor practically assist people with job links when reached or informed for assistance or information about someone needing job opportunities not money.

Those are links to magoosh full premium videos. They are same with the ones you'll pay for and you'll use almost same data to watch or even more. You can practice all magoosh questions in GRE.kmf.com

But if you can afford the magoosh, pay for one month. Download these videos and watch well and use the one month subscription to do all question sets on their site.

Or just go for the 6 months subscription.

All in All, you can prep with or without magoosh. Manhattan books are everywhere, ets og and workbooks, cracking the GRE by Princeton, Nova GRE course prep are good materials. At least there is a popular YouTube guy that got perfect score and said he used only barron.

Start prep while you can and with what you have. *standard*... I'm actually thinking this belief of using magoosh adds to confidence which is good for the exam
Thank You so much

Thanks for your concern Sir. I have an HND Mech Engr, worked briefly as a waiter in a restaurant and also worked as a Printing Engr in an Optical Disc coy before we were laid off due to the economic situation. I'm open to any hustle that can bring in legitimate income.

To leave the house now is the major priority
OK Op....I don't personally have any readily available job for You to do but I will ask around....
Mr Billy please ask around too


Op You can also ask her questions like why She wants to sleep with You and phone record her answers without her knowing... And tell her some days later that You have recorded her sexual confession statements on Audio voice record and that She should leave You alone and allow You to stay in the house in peace and that You have copied it on two CDs and given one Cd of the Recording to a lawyer and the second CD of the recording to a police friend to give Her husband if maybe You loose your life or she pushes You out of the House, the Lawyer and police are to give her husband the C.D if the lawyer or police notices something has happened to You

I believe this would solve the problem


Readers please if anyone has or knows off any skilled or unskilled job available, please contact the OP

Learn tolerance. Your experience is different from others' and each human have the right to do what ever they want. We are sovereign.
Mr, I said I don't believe in sleeping with another man's wife. It might have negative implications and repercussions in the future, or even in the Present. It is My Opinion and I am entitled to my opinion on this Free Public Forum Q.E.D.

I believe it is more practical to help in a persons capacity to help the Op maybe get some thing doing where he can stay than suggesting Unethical.....Immoral..passive docile.....low ball passive options..like Sleeping with another persons wife or blackmailing her for Money after She and the husband had housed the OP for some time.

Billyonaire:
Then you dont know women. Nothing will stop her from sleeping with him and if she cant she will feel threatened, she will feel the moment this OP finds his footing that he will share the information with her husband. So, if you agree with me, then you know the OP is in more danger than he thinks if he didnt do it. Listen, you guys need to stop looking at the world using religious lenses. If you believe in Karma in the lower dimension, then you will agree with me that if the woman's husband had slept with another man's wife, someone's wife whose husband trusts him anytime in this life or prior, then nature's laws take effect, someone he trusts, have to sleep with his own wife. And it presents the situation that the OP's comfort is threatened, he will have to do it or go homeless, and we are damned sure he will choose not to go homeless. So right now,the onus lies on the OP. If he is a smart guy which I doubt, he will use this one stone to kill two birds.

He will make that woman an offer she can not refuse. Tell her you accept, but not in this house, it has to be hotel. When you get to that hotel, then put her in a tight corner when she is half UnCloth, NOT fully, cos she will think he cornered her. When she is half UnCloth, then tell her that you will do this on only one condition. That he cant look her husband in the face, and that if she promises to give him (N000,000.oo put any amount she can afford) to rent yourself a nice place she can always come if she choose then you will proceed. If not, that you wont do it. All it takes is a promisory note from her, and when she promises and gives her time, then tell her....after this, it wont happen until she gives the rent money) ...then you better be good in the 2 hours on her case. When you get that money from her, then you rent a house where she will NEVER find you.....cos if you go back, you are earning your own karma, but in this case, you helped nature fulfill its karma. You have not sinned. You didnt ask for it, you were cornered into it. That is how you know you are a creating creator, we are our own judge in the universe, we commit, we judge, we execute and we redeem. We are the creator of our fate, cos we are gods.
I dont believe and accept the Sleeping with another's wife no matter the Situation.....Op needs a bail out.Enuf of impracticable immoral unrealistic non helpful talk. Op which state are You in.....

Education › Re: How To Make Your Child Smarter: 5 Steps Backed By Science by Laird(m): 4:28pm On May 25, 2017
TheReadyWriters:
I’ve explored the science behind what makes kids happier, what type of parenting works best and what makes for joyful families.

But what makes children — from babies up through the teen years — smarter?

Here are 10 things science says can help:
1) Music Lessons

Plain and simple: research show music lessons make kids smarter:

Compared with children in the control groups, children in the music groups exhibited greater increases in full-scale IQ. The effect was relatively small, but it generalized across IQ subtests, index scores, and a standardized measure of academic achievement.

In fact musical training helps everyone, young and old:

A growing body of research finds musical training gives students learning advantages in the classroom. Now a Northwestern University study finds musical training can benefit Grandma, too, by offsetting some of the deleterious effects of aging.

(More on what the music you love says about you here.)
2) The Dumb Jock Is A Myth

Dumb jocks are dumb because they spend more time on the field than in the library. But what if you make sure your child devotes time to both?

Being in good shape increases your ability to learn. After exercise people pick up new vocabulary words 20% faster.

Via Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain:

Indeed, in a 2007 study of humans, German researchers found that people learn vocabulary words 20 percent faster following exercise than they did before exercise, and that the rate of learning correlated directly with levels of BDNF.

A 3 month exercise regimen increased bloodflow to the part of the brain focused on memory and learning by 30%.

Via Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain:

In his study, Small put a group of volunteers on a three-month exercise regimen and then took pictures of their brains… What he saw was that the capillary volume in the memory area of the hippocampus increased by 30 percent, a truly remarkable change.

(More on how exercise can make you and your kids smarter and happier here.)
3) Don’t Read To Your Kids, Read With Them

Got a little one who is learning to read? Don’t let them just stare at the pictures in a book while you do all the reading.
Call attention to the words. Read with them, not to them. Research shows it helps build their reading skills:

…when shared book reading is enriched with explicit attention to the development of children’s reading skills and strategies, then shared book reading is an effective vehicle for promoting the early literacy ability even of disadvantaged children.

(More on things most parents do wrong here.)
4) Sleep Deprivation Makes Kids Stupid

Missing an hour of sleep turns a sixth grader’s brain into that of a fourth grader.

Via NurtureShock:

“A loss of one hour of sleep is equivalent to [the loss of] two years of cognitive maturation and development,” Sadeh explained.

There is a correlation between grades and average amount of sleep.

Via NurtureShock:

Teens who received A’s averaged about fifteen more minutes sleep than the B students, who in turn averaged fifteen more minutes than the C’s, and so on. Wahlstrom’s data was an almost perfect replication of results from an earlier study of over 3,000 Rhode Island high schoolers by Brown’s Carskadon. Certainly, these are averages, but the consistency of the two studies stands out. Every fifteen minutes counts.

(More on how to sleep better here.)
5) IQ Isn’t Worth Much Without Self-Discipline

Self-discipline beats IQ at predicting who will be successful in life.

From Charles Duhigg’s excellent book The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business:

Dozens of studies show that willpower is the single most important keystone habit for individual success… Students who exerted high levels of willpower were more likely to earn higher grades in their classes and gain admission into more selective schools. They had fewer absences and spent less time watching television and more hours on homework. “Highly self-disciplined adolescents outperformed their more impulsive peers on every academic-performance variable,” the researchers wrote. “Self-discipline predicted academic performance more robustly than did IQ. Self-discipline also predicted which students would improve their grades over the course of the school year, whereas IQ did not.… Self-discipline has a bigger effect on academic performance than does intellectual talent.”

Grades have more to do with conscientiousness than raw smarts.

Via How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character:

…conscientiousness was the trait that best predicted workplace success. What intrigues Roberts about conscientiousness is that it predicts so many outcomes that go far beyond the workplace. People high in conscientiousness get better grades in school and college; they commit fewer crimes; and they stay married longer. They live longer – and not just because they smoke and drink less. They have fewer strokes, lower blood pressure, and a lower incidence of Alzheimer’s disease.
