Next thing is the police invites her for questioning.

Tohsynetita1:
Am not talking about commercial export. What the op needs is just some thousand of dollars to travel out which small scale export could cover. my largest export weight is 100kg

I understand, I wasn't done when you mentioned, you can check again.

Tohsynetita1:
if you check my past post even here on "Travel" , there's a time I was looking for someone to do market research for me overseas, I have some one that does that in illinois, Chicago and Ohio but I wanted to extend then and someone was discouraging me that it can't be done. What can't be done, to go to African stores and ask if they could need someone to supply them some other African foods if it's not sufficient or they don't have at all. The worst they can say is " they don't want" will they beat? The task is a paid task o. But someone said it's not possible here in overseas, as if no be human being they live their. Even fellow Nigerians sometimes. FYI, I sent dried snails and honey on Tuesday this week. So, am not new to it.

I had to jump on your comment.

First, if you're exporting commercially, we are not talking about small quantities, we're talking bags and possibly tonnes of good quality stuff. The European market is quite strict on things like this.

2. Except you are a PR or have become a citizen, you can't run business in these countries...in literal terms, you can't move around hawking your food to African stores because you wont even be able to import (refer to point 1). Even if you manage to import and get caught, you will be punished. Other africans who have struggled to build their businesses won't want to jeopardize their business over a few earnings or they risk it and pay you stipends (Africans are good at exploiting).

3. Way forward is to liaise with a commercial/licensed exporter. Good luck sealing the deal with them because they will pay you in Naira not USD. The profits belong to the middlemen.

Can't say though, maybe you have a trader uncle can piggyback on

4. Last point/Disclaimer: I've not done thorough research nor dealt business in this sphere. What I've listed above is based on my brief encounters with stakeholders on both endss of the food chain.

Nice ride.

I'd rather buy a defender though.

FinidiGeorge:
Did you read everything, she already sent another driver, the vehicle too spoil for road... She should just send the third driver o... E be like say one evil force wan make the woman incur loss this December

, I read that part as well and sending a third driver was what I meant. Village people at work maybe.

Really gruelling experience. I was thinking you were out of this mess by now and sharing your experience. As soon as you said a road side mechanic rinsed your gearbox filter, I knew that vehicle isn't going anywhere. Sad to think you're still stuck there.

What are your plans? I believe you don't plan to start living there. Can you get another competent mechanic in the nearest town to come take a look at the car?

What is the owner of the merchandise saying? I hope those eggs don't rot under the hot sun. There's losses already as I can imagine. She should send another driver to save her goods before it becomes double debt on your head.

You can even follow the new driver back to town and get money and another technician to come back and look at the car. Better still get the driver to tow you and that car out of there.

Godspeed.

It's how the men just stood still looking like lucozade.. Are they not part of the protest again?

Cultism is evul and it's k!lling our young men but at the same time, this extreme
form of protest whereby women go naked is a traditional culture that should have gone with the stone age.


It's highly unnecessary. Cultures that demean women are always welcome by so called traditionalist.. You never hear of men protesting naked. Anyway, hope it achieves it's aim and get the conversation against cultism going.

Nobody forced the women to protest naked. Danfo drivers who strip naked in the middle of the street are also protesting.

The methods may look archaic but it's a heritage that we should respect and not discard for western ideologies.

Since the current generation is so lost on traditional morals and values, they hardly understand the wise ways of the elders. How many young fathers today can accurately give 10 proverbs off the top of their heads? I wonder how they will advise their kids..well they don't and we see the evidence everyday on social media and on the streets.

Naked women protests is an extreme form of protest.. almost equal to self immolation practiced in the East Asias. The situation is evidently at a critical level but as I would expect, no one will give a hoot about this protest.

Eloquency001:
I think that should be Segun Adisa or so.

Yes exactly. Thanks for the name.

A similar presenter took over from him, I can`t remember the name. he also had a bushy moustache as well. I think this genre of programmes still runs but they are no longer as popular.

Funfact: Yinka Ayefele worked for him.

princeemma69:
how possible is that? Is it by trading or he is doing some block hain stuff? I know one cannot make consistent profits in crypto trading weekly

Don't become a victim. Even if you want to join, a random comment should not be your motivation.

People don't share their money making secrets like that, once it's in the open, e don cast be that.

planetx:
The moment she start to move the money around, that will trigger an investigation. The best thing to do is leave it and not touch it even spending it is even less risky to getting caught. but not move it to a different account or bank.

I want talking about spending it, I was talking about saving it even if it is a fixed deposit. The money remains intact when the authorities come searching 7 months later and shes $600k richer. Both parties depart in peace with smiles.

Harddiskng:
You can see why some poor can never be rich. It is not a curse.

Money enter, your first thought was investment. It was spending it all??


Even if its money market for those 7 months. When the bank comes for the principal, you simply give them back. The interest is enough never to be poor again.

But trust a single mother of 4 children. You already know her decision making is absolute rubbish. I hope she suffers.

Just imagine 0.83% monthly interest on $10.7m over 7 months: that's about $600k free money with no guilt attached. Now she loses everything and gains deportation and blacklist as extras.

They are too expensive.

African talent will take less pay for much more work.

Siberia01:


I wish we could be having such innovations down here...
The white race are really trying



We practice conference tech no doubt in Nigeria....

Conference upon conferences

No results

My thoughts exactly, I have ceased attending all these conferences as they are a waste of time. The zoom ones are worse. You have experts just come around and advertise their businesses. At most, they argue and bicker among themselves but everyone forgets whatever was discussed as soon as the conference is over. No solid roadmap, directives or plans. Everyone returns to the status quo or their private enterprises.

How about free internet in select parts of town or in schools, or just getting a desktop computer for 100 public schools.

Different strokes for different folks but not a bad effort in itself.

C350 indeed.

With the reasons provided, she better stay in her own if she's living a comfortable life.

A man abandoned by his wife and kids because he was broke won't call them back because he's now rich 8 years later. He would rather look for a youngling or slayqueen to live out his fantasies.

He's not rich, he's simply looking for a support mechanism and he will parasitize her once again.

udede:
I need a lady that want to go into contract marriage with me for some years. The aim is to have children but if along the line we realized that we are compatible enough to spend the rest of our lives together in love, then so be it.

I also need advice on this from people who are into it.

In other words, you need a breeding pig for your progenies. The world is on a highway to hell.

I disagree. The husband can stay stuck in the sitting room and refuse to enter the room during a quarell. Besides, the couple will be planning to have extra buddies in 9 months hopefully: baby, mother-in-law etc. Should they be changing homes every year?

My aunt (and her husband) for example moved into a 3 bedroom right from the wedding and stayed there for 12 years before moving to their personal building: Master bedroom, Guest room and third room for storing wedding gifts. As the kids came, they changed room function to baby's room and so on. Besides, 3 bedroom apartments tend to have more living space compared to crampy self-contains.

For me though, I kept moving every year from a one-bedroom, to a 2 bedroom and then a 3 bedroom.

Stressful.

First, I must commend you on your resilience to get back up. Thats about half the journey. Now you need to concentrate on activities that can feed you on a daily. It is when you have that sorted to a comfortable level, you can start contemplating tertiary education; which is not bad in itelf, it only takes time to mature.

I will also sound a note of warning here. Don't get greedy or impatient. Do not try to poach your boss's customers, or try to quickly open your own store, it can send you back to zero really fast. You have to take measured steps.

Take weekends as well, you need it. Don't work 24/7 every week of the month, you will break down and the lose that extra cash on medication. The job is just the financial aspect, feed your spiritual and physical self as well. Go to church, get good sleep, try to eat and use needed medication.

Your story sounds like a life with a strong spiritual undertone. I hope you look into it more seriously. Don't fall victim of fake prophets however.

Who in God's own earth will not pick calls or answer text messages. Why the hell does she have a phone then?

You've got to have some self respect man especially at the age of 30. Money or a funny attitude is not a do all for meeting ladies but logical common sense for sure goes a long way.

Read the signs early on and save your resources once you realize it's an unprofitable venture. Why waste emotions, efforts, money, time on a lady that doesn't dig you?

Besides, corpers are one of the hungriest girls I ever met, no more pocket money from home so they devour any gullible sheep around them like wolves.

toygod2:
Sorry ,I’m not asking this from a bad place.
but what’s the essence of buying these type of vehicles?

They are efficient work trucks that offer a bit of everything ranging from car to vans to flatbed benefits.

They can carry 'some' load, tow (depends), move at a relatively higher speed for urban or long commutes, go off-road (sometimes) or just be a daily driver.

In the case of this example above, it also has the benefit of lower fuel consumption compared to bigger trucks from Dodge or Ford.

Buhari sunk the country's economy to new depths with his ineptitude and nonchalance to intricate economic matters leaving key decisions to his minions to do as they wish often times to their own benefit.

Tinubu seems to be more educated in these things. Change is also expected when administration switches, the skeletons of past administrations are brought to the open but this is a normal practice. Buhari also did his initial gragra with EFCC back then. Cbn is releasing records of past 7 years (Buhari's tenure )

I don't think Baba is a messiah and I rooted for a different candidate but I hope things get better.

Kevineleven:
He made a grave mistake by walking away.
You don't let anyone draw his weapon successfully in close range.
The moment you get into an argument be prepared for violence, try to anticipate the next move of your opponent and be ready to defend against it.

Lol, this is even funnier. If you were in the same shoes, you would try to reach for the attacker's gun?

Forget all those self defense videos on TikTok, they are debunked as well. You have a slim chance of grabbing an attacker's gun except you're specially trained in sharp reflexes and hand strength/combat.

A mistake in that scenario is definitely death.

Angelfrost:
Bro, he should have done any and everything to preserve his own life even if it means scrubbing the guy's floors.

The person holding the gun has the upper hand in any and every physical encounter.

Once gun enters the matter, your common sense of self-preservation should take precedence over your pride or ego.

and that's why I emphasized that it won't work. the shooter had shot at the fleeing boy and the two lying bodies. A situation where they were both defenceless and posed no threat to him. There was literally nothing they could have done but run from him. Kneeling or begging will even inflame the killer's anger.

Angelfrost:
You clearly haven't done your research on the story. Please do.

Both men had a fair history of bad blood going back to a few years. The shooter was proven to have reported threats to his life and family from the victim as well as physical intimidations on various occasions.

His 911 calls in the past are still on record.

Not justifying the evil act of cold-blooded murder... Just giving more perspective.

That the victim chose to turn his back on a pointed gun shows he had no regard for the shooter who he saw as a weakling incapable of hurting him.

This also validates the point of view that he had obviously been intimidating and bullying the "little guy" prior to that unfortunate day.

If it was a noise complaint, why not simply turn it down and apologize?!! Even with the gun out, he could have still deescalated the situation by apologizing and pleading, but he chose the Macho and condescending route, which ended badly.

The late man was a BULLY! And this is what happens to bullies sometimes, especially when their victim has taken as much as he can.

So what should he have done. Kneel and beg?

Omoawoke2:
Very correct

Be turned his back on a man aiming a gun at him, life's mot Hollywood where we form James bond

And so he should lunge at the attacker? What are you guys saying? Walking away was a way to diffuse the situation. Your best defence from a gunman is to create as much distance between you both as much as possible. Better yet, walks backwards, but turning his back shows he is no longer interested in the confrontation and that makes the crime more premeditated.

I hope you also read that the attacker went to the two prone bodies and fired off at least 2 more shots execution style.

Did I see 2.5m? Naij! No chill

A vehicle that would have spent almost 5 years in Nigeria when dollar was still around #700, now some seller will say USD is expensive and wants to sell at twice the price for twice the depreciation. A lot of people won't make heaven with their business practices.
