Education › Re: Students’ Loan: FG To Introduce Tuition Fees In Universities by Lekan239(m): 2:46am On Jun 15, 2023 |
Ebubu2: those you mentioned are not tuition. Tuition means money paid for being taught. It directly goes into paying the teachers.
Tuition does not exist even in your school fees printouts. You only see these ones you highlighted.
Tuition will be reintroduced and federal schools will become expensive.
The alternative is get the student loan.
The other ones you mentioned will still be there, as they have always been there, just that they don’t exceed 20k most times (examination fee, library fee). tuition fee exist in State institution. And they admit more student than federal schools despite thier high fees |

Selfkontrol: Omo I don’t really buy the idea of using loan to start a business. It’s too much risk. Business is not really a problem for me. 20m is something I can make easily in crypto and beside I won’t even have time for the business. I just need to set up something for my wife so you have it then. The rich are taking billons in loans. Even usa still dey collect loans. Don't let anybody deceive you |

Selfkontrol: Thanks for your input sir. You’re not far from the truth but I won’t say I’m broke. We’re in bear season so money doesn’t flow like that compared to bull season. Yes they are in good locations. I have a single property valued at 37m in a top estate. I don’t intend selling them to travel though. Even if I have to travel it would probably take a year or two, by then I would have generate enough money from crypto.
That’s my fear too. 9-5 scares me like crazy. If I was still starting life with little to nothing, I don’t think I would here asking questions becos I know the part to follow Good to the bank.

Though I could easily still save for my japa plan within three-four month if it was only me, but fortunately I have a wife and a son. After handling millions, I can't see my self doing 9-5 atleast not in Nigeria never. Going abroad with my family will translate to me selling my properties. I don't also. Not everybody will relocate abroad. I am two years younger than you are. I already started a little biz for my wife. Will continue saving hear and will continue hoping for a better future.

Travel › Re: Relocate Or Stay In Nigeria (serious Dilemma ) by Lekan239(m): 6:44pm On Jun 12, 2023 |
Selfkontrol: Good day Nairalanders. Pls I need some mature advice because I’ve been in a dilemma for a long time now concerning relocating abroad or staying back in Nigeria. First of all I’m not a japa advocate. I believe if you’re doing well in Nigeria then there’s no point relocating abroad but I feel there’s so much uncertainty and I don’t know what the future holds for me in this country.
Now I’m a married man of 30 years. I will turn 31 by this September. We have no child yet but wife is preg now. I have a B.Eng in petroleum Engineering but have never worked in my life. My current business is crypto trading which I have been doing for years now. During the 2021 crypto bull run I made lot of money and acquired some properties that’s currently valued atleast 60-70m naira in total. bought my car same year and got married same year to my long time Gf, settled some family members etc . I don’t have any other investments or business aside my properties and crypto portfolio because crypto trading has taken all my time and I won’t complain because so far it has been good. Making money in dollars while in Nigeria is bliss. Even though we have been in bear season since 2022, I still make some money every now and then that’s sustainable for now until we hit another bull run which is likely to happen from next year 2024.
My fear lies here, on the long run crypto trading is not sustainable. If not for 2021 bull run I don’t think I would be in this position and even the projected bull run next year is not 100% certain
I plan on learning a programming skill which is very difficult, I tried learning it late last year but stopped along the line because it was distracting me from trading and missing some opportunities in crypto because making money is most important. Coding would probably take me a few years before I start earning even though it is sustainable long term but crypto trading can be life changing but not sustainable long term . It’s more like a gamble most times.
My plan A, is to gather enough money from now till 2025 which is the duration of the projected bull run if it happens and start investing in real estate development, Like building and selling and other businesses too but I don’t know how feasible that is in our present day Nigeria and if I don’t make my target amount, I might have to start with the available resources present. plan B, gather some money, learn a skill then relocate to Canada with my family via study route since I don’t have any real work experience aside crypto trading but that would mean me going to study and starting afresh.
For my wife, she also has a degree in Human Resources with just nysc as working experience. She learnt wig making and installation and has been doing her online biz selling wigs etc.
Abroad folks, what are my chances abroad considering my current profile. Is it worth it coming over there to start afresh And build? I have heard so many things how it’s hard getting a job and you have to rely on survival jobs for the first few years expecially for someone without any work experience.
I really don’t like joining the bandwagon cos everyone seems to be leaving, I love to weigh my options and hate taking unnecessary risk that might lead to regrets, at the same time don’t want to regret not leaving since I’m still young and have the opportunity that’s why I’m here asking these questions to learn from experienced and matured family men home and abroad the action they would take. We learn everyday,
For my unborn kids, if everything checks out, my plan is to give birth to them in either Canada or US for the passport and raise them in Nigeria and when they are grown, send them to study there and that is only if I’m not relocating. And if I’m relocating, what are the in-demand skills and professions I have to take since it’s clear I might be going to school because I hate survival jobs. What is your advice pls. Mature advice pls. Thank you 🙏 @justwise @Disguy property valued 60-70m. Which means this figures are in assest not in raw cash. For a man to start thinking like this, it means u are broke(cashless) now, or u foresee u will be in the nearest future. Now how will you finance your japa plan, are u intending on selling your properties for this plan. Another aspect is are those assets in good location that will prompt people to buy them quickly. Will you be able to sell them within a month. My conclusion is if u japa, u will start 9-5jobs starting from scratch... you that already seen and handle millions, can u cope with working other someone for peanut.... or u can think about starting a biz no matter how little here in Nigeria, and become ur own boss |

Because NNPC knew that if they sell the petrol for them for the old price, those marketers will still not refuce the price and sell to citizen with new price. The marketers are also doing the same to the citizens. Did you see the speed of light most of them closed and chage the price immediately Tinubu declared subsidy |

80% of girls are into hook up codedly but won't show it. So if you have a girl you suspect she's into hook up, I would advice you become careful with her before she pin another man pregnancy on you.
Tho, what I do to a girl I'm dating is I clone there chat mostly WhatsApp.
Once it's cloned I check and read all their message directly on my phone even without them noticing.
I do this for some months so as to be sure of whom I'm dating, make I for no go enter one chance.

Autos › Re: How To Make Your Vehicle Run More Efficiently (Post Subsidy Removal Tips) by Lekan239(m): 10:01am On Jun 02, 2023 |
GAZZUZZ: Let's split the matter into parts so we don't loose focus.
A. Engine Electronics
* Buy a personal scan tool.
Buy a portable scanner so check for errors when they appear, if you don't know what the codes mean, enter into cartalk, post the codes and we will guide accordingly.
Some vehicles have had their warning lights removed by technicians and card dealers, this is the time to restore and scan.
* Scan code results.
Scan code results that have to do with the following will seriously affect your vehicle fuel efficiency by as much as 40-50percent.
Engine running rich or lean codes 02 sensor codes P0128 coolant threshold All timing related codes Evaporative emission codes Catalytic converter codes Engine misfires MAF codes Exhaust gas recirculation codes Variable timing codes VTech codes Boost pressure codes
There are more, but these are the common ones. Have them solved properly (not by clearing code) and you will save a lot on petrol.
B. Suspension
* Tyre pressures : keep tyre pressures at recommended levels (check drivers door or fuel tank cover) vehicles with low tyre pressures, consume more fuel than vehicles with the right tyre pressures.
* Wheel alignment, Ensure your alignment is on point, when you have front wheels fighting with them selves and asphalt, it causes unwanted drag, which results in more fuel consumption.
* Keep windows up when on long trips , this will reduce the amount of wind resistance the car makes, less drag more savings on fuel.
* Aerodynamics, the abuse of vehicle suspension in the name of raising vehicle height usually has consequences when done poorly, when you have the head up and tail down, you are fighting to get through the air, and constantly loosing efficiency to wind resistance. Same thing happens when you load 4 adults at the back and fill the trunk with load 
* Sticky brakes . brake binding is a situation where the vehicle is being held down by the brake pads without application of the brake pedal. Could be caused by work done on the brake switch near brake pedal, rusted calliper pins rusted calliper prisons, faulty abs pump. Whatever the case, if you get home, splash some water on each wheel, if you have instant steam from any wheel it is binding and should be checked .
C. Service and Maintenance
* Filters sparkplugs and MAF.
Some cars never get a replacement engine air filter all their days in Nigeria , replace your engine air filter with each oil change , clean and re gap your sparkplugs to the required spark gap.
Carefuly clean MAF sensor with the required MAF cleaner, please do not do MAF cleaning unless you are sure it is required, it is not an item to clean regularly.
* Fuel Pressure
We don't have very clean petrol, so if your car begins to feel lazy especially after a long trip, might be time to check the fuel filter and strainer inside the fuel tank , if clogged replace, you will get better miles per gallon. In most vehicles, low fuel pressure will not show up as an error when scanned.
* Blocked Exhaust system.
The inability of exist gasses to quickly leave the engine into the atmosphere, will cost you more on petrol.
Some vehicles are naturally predisposed to catalyst blockage e.g Honda , Acura , Ford , Kia , Hyundai. If your vehicle is one of those you might want to get it checked out, also if your catalyst has been stolen in the past and was refilled will wire mesh or a catalyst clone which also gets blocked easily you should have it checked.
Know your vehicle, if a vehicle starts dragging, something is off and should be checked . Blockages in exhaust in exhaust systems will not show up on scan results for most vehicles, it takes a smart tech/owner to detect it in early stages. the code I posted since last week on car talk. No one answer me up till this moment |
