Dat is the problem with we Nigerians, u studied estate management, the only thing u ve in mind is working for sum1.. U can't tink of working for ur self, start an agent business.. A lot of estate agents are making real cash.. Imagine u sell a plot of land for N1m, u ve 10% that is 100k, u tink any estate firm will pay u 100k in a month? U should tink of developing ur self, dan begging for jobs.. Even if u get a job now, highest an estate firm will start u wit is 40k, dats if its a big company.. U can source for houses for people, collect commision, u can make more than 100k a month.. With proper planning, u register ur company name, grow ur business, withing the space of 2yrs, with hard work and intergrity, u can start managing peoples properties, and boom( u are made).
The greatest problem we Nigerians have is over dependent on the government, coupled with inefficient and ineffective private sector..
Let's look beyond always looking for a job and start creating jobs for our selfs..
With over 200million people in Nigeria, and sum1 is hungry and broke! Wen dere are one thousnd and one things u can do to make money..
Anyways I wish u luck in ur hunt for a job..

In order to get to the level where he cuts his own jobs, his needs on hand experience in a real estate firm. Bro, real estate aint beans. You need mad connections in order to survive. Its not something you just hop up and down to do... dont be too hard on him.

Even before I ventured into my business, i worked for good 4 years plus.
Saved up and venture into a more profitable enterprise.....

Wooow... im quite impressed with the impact of this program. Didnt expect to see folks on NL talking about it.

Falz the bad guy will thrill you guys...

of at ur number one, what of when they are starters /locals? They must av to beg before airing. Now they av made it vice versa

When an artiste is still struggling for spot light, it becomes a mutually beneficial thing because regardless of what you thinkm upcoming artists make up a good percentage of sound city's content.
The t.v. station plays the content, the artiste gains some publicity... that is the only scenario where the t.v. station actually benefits the upcoming artist.

In the case of nigeria, upcoming artistes pay for air time (radio and t.v.) so its not like the t.v. station has a choice. you cannot receive money and not do what you are paid for??

If t.v. refuses to play the upcoming artiste content for whatever reason, then the artist can budget the finances to high level internet and radio promotion..... if the song hits big on radio and internet, shoot a video and send it to mtv and trace. They will play it for free and then local champions like soundcity will eventuall have no choice but to pick iy up...

Whatever the scenario, up coming or not, the artiste is still a major content provider to the t.v.

MISSNORA:
I rarely reply this kinda mentions buh lemme give u some lessons. I dont blame u cuz u haven't bn with a new struggling artist or help promoting someone. Do u remember pSquares first album? The time they looked malnourished? They beg and even pay for radio and TV stations to air their music. Now Soundcity has bn doing that for free... Playing them everyday... Making them more famous. Now they pSquare are made. And Soundcity requested they do just a show for them, they started requesting money which shocked Soundcity... I don't know bout you, buh my mum taught me to always be thankful and grateful to anyone who helped me on my way up.... Be appreciative...

you raised a nice point. Gratitude is always a good thing but let me educate you a bit on music business.

1- Soundcity is not doing p-square any favour by playing their music. They are international stars and airing p-square videos and content is what we call "added content" which solely benefits soundcity because they do not make any royalty payments to the artiste.

2- Psquare has played numerous free shows for soundcity which has generated millions of naira for soundcity.

3- soundcity makes thousands of naira every single day off the sweat of these artistes by stealing their royalties. Their youtube account is monetized. That simply means for everytime you watch a p-square interview or click a p-square video hosted by soundcity on youtube, google pays a certain amount of money into soundcity's account.

Everything i stated above is a fact.
Soundcity is currently not doing p-square any favour by airing or not airing their contents.

Its a shame that the Nigerian music industry hardly favours the artiste that sweated their ass off for these content you are watching.
Just imagine soundcity a situation where all the artistes in Nigeria stop making videos, will soundcity still have contents to air??

P-SQUARE HAS PAID THEIR DUES.
THEY HAVE SUFFERED AND EARNED THEIR STRIPES AND even the bibles says that every labourer deserves his wage!..
the most p-square can do is to slash their performance fee for soundcity.

If every tv and radio station that supported p-square during their struggling days should demand for free appearance and all that, then the industry will be totally messed up.

I actually feel that the brown roofs are part of the rustic charms of this ancient city.
Ibadan has a perfect blend of modern and county charm.
Perfect place to relax.one love.

No need to proof anything to anyone or let tribalist get under your skin.
The truth remains the truth...

GO THERE NOW.. LAGOS STATE ARE WORKING ON THE DRAINAGE AND REHABILITATING THE ROAD


I SAW THEM YESTERDAY

Well, we will see the extent of their work when it rains again

SexyStrawberry:

Anyway my own horror was with Aero, truly when death comes, u go just confuse, 20mins far up in the air, all of a sudden the plane jerked and dropped with full force twice mid air, everyone around me started saying their last prayers, as for me, I was just totally blank, finally baba God put hand raise d plane up again we come reach Abj safely. Going back I just jejely enter bus, I can't fit shout abeg.

Loool... about your flight experience, I experienced almost same thing on my way to ethiopia but mine was way scarier I guess.

The landing gears of the airline refused to deploy and after hovering around the airport for almost 2 hours, we descended from 35000ft to 10, 000ft...

Eventually sha, the landing gear dropped and we had a pretty smoothe landing.... come check out applause naaah.....na so one woman wear dress like a muslim (covered in hijab) stood up and shouted "praisee the loooorrrrrd".....

majamajic:
The problem is not always with the govt, we keep blocking the drainage systems with wastes.

I don't think I noticed any OPEN DRAINAGE system on that road.
What im trying to say is that even if there was drainage system, it couldn't have been blocked by tue masses

i believe no matter the propaganda by rivers PDP and Wike against Amaechi, Buhari will still nominate amaechi into his cabinent.
Buhari value loyalty . I respect him for that.

" A leader who abandon, destroy or kill those who are devoted and loyal to him does not inspire devotion and loyalty" Tyrion Lannister, Games of Throne .

Buhari is just being a good leader who appreciate loyalty.

So far, amaechi is not on the ministerial nominees list sent to the dss.....
That I can authoritatively tell you

This is an appeal to the lagos state government and all relevant authorities to please fix the ikorodu/maryland road and work on the drainage system,
Whenever it rains, it becomes impossible to make out the road from the pavement .

Infact, at a poiny I was scared cos it felt like I was stuck in a flowing river.

steppin:
Bros, you sure say no be you cause the accident?
Cos you sounded pretty much like a 'winch' with the crazy laugh...

Different people have different ways of expressing fear or nervousness.
I wasn't scared of dying or nervous... I was actually at peace with myself...don't know why I laughed..... the collective screams of jeeeeeesssssus and all that kinda felt funny....

The beginning and end of everyone has been written.

mekonglobal:
What a bad experience... But thank God u survived it!

Yes.. it was a bad experience....

This happened a while back but Its still my worst travelling experience till date.

I boarded a "small" bus (i will not name the company) heading to lagos. I was coming from delta state and was really hoping I would make it back to lagos before 11am (max 12 noon).

About an hour into the journey, I succumbed to sleep but I made sure I was strapped into my sit..... I don't know how long I slept before I was jolted back to reality by screams of "blood of jesus" by fellow passengers...... of course there was tire screeching!!

At that moment, it felt like everything slowed down.... instead of screaming, I started laughing.... I had a hearty laugh for what seemed like an eternity before the bus somersaulted a couple of times...

Eventually, it all came to a stop and I was still alive. Still strapped into my seat. The lady beside me also survived but she was hysterical and when I tried to talk to her, she totally ignored me.... she would talk to other people but she wouldn't talk to me....

Help from the locals was almost instantaneous.
I was helped out of the bus and I had nothing but a small bruise on my right arm.
Can't say much about the state of other passengers... I just picked my small bag, boarded another bus and continued my journey.....

Cause of accident: I heard it was a trailer that ran us off the road. I was sleeping then

The really appalling part was that (1) the trailer driver did not even stop.

2) passengers from other buses were busy taking pictures and I heard atleast 2 people say "thank God ooh.. I was supposed to board this bus".....


So, what was your worst travelling experience like??


Follow me on nairaland and I follow back
