Beautiful works Goodhart. I wonder when I would get to that level. Made a handbag and a little hat. Work is still very far from perfect but I am still learning.

Welldone everyone.

Been working real hard and made a crochet slippers. I found an old hard cover book on crochet with glossy picture pages and pattern. I was just passing by at a popular bustop in Lagos when I saw it. I got it for 100 naira. Unbelievable!

Napa It's time to keep that husband of yours on his toes. I don't like that part you said you don't collect money from him shoo. Even if they pay you 3m as salary sef,you need to make demands abeg. How many houses do you have in Abuja? Don't tell me that contentment story abeg. Why Timpre get 48. It's because your man has a lot of free money that's why he travel outside the country just to shag. [b][/b]Milk him and invest it.

badt girl!

Wild or not, he chose you for areason, tap into it. if u like be hulk hogan, whatever he chooses to do, he will still do.

All I can say is be STRONG, take it that this is one of the hurdles in marriage and after this, it will make your bond stronger. Remind him not to sow his wild oats anyhow oooooo , you need it more than they do.

Very good and practical advice. The sad truth op is that your husband is a prowler. Can you live with that? He enjoys the hunt and the chase but choose you for a reason to be his wife. If you can bear and keep up with his attitude you might have a good and long marriage based on understanding. If he respects you better for you. But if you can't stand it anymore, the choice is yours to make... Good luck

Lol
Iyana Isheri rd is one of d worst road in Lagos.
D road is yet to b fixed.
D light is beta now though
Hw much is a mini flat at shasha area

I believe you can get a mini flat at Shasha for 200k. At least the one I saw letting was that price. The roads are motor able and the light superb

AlphaHandMaiden. Thank you so very much. The pattern and pictures you posted were so helpful. Thank you for taking out time to put me through. I am so impressed with the good work you guys are doing here.

P.S I think I have caught the crochet fever, I am working so hard at it to see the finished product to the detriment of other things I have to do.

Pls for the circumference of the hat, the size is 20 inches. Do I divide by three or I make the flat round get up to 20 inches?I actually worked the new hat to round seven (about 18inches) before I started extending. I am sorry if I sound so confused

Thank so very much Ynnks. I spent the day digesting the pattern and directions you gave previously. I am working on the new one and hope to post a picture that you would be pleased with. You are a very good teacher too. I found it easier to follow your guide than the tons on the internet. Thanks once more.

I tried to make a hat. Don't know where I went wrong so I am starting all over again. I don't want to give up so easily. Thanks Ynnk and all the pros in the house. Pls correct me.

I am just joining the train. Glad to be here. Thanks everyone I hope to learn alot

Welldone op. God bless the work of your hands. May you live and enjoy your new home. I pray to achieve such a feat. In this life I must build a house of my own.

mkoabiola:

Am very sure u av moved out of Isheri osun cos d road is just a smooth drive frm jakande to ijegun.
I stay in Isheri osun also
But d light is jus d negative side bt it getting beta now

I was actually talking about the Isheri Road. From Isheri bustop to Iyana Isheri off ijegun Road. Glad to hear the light has improved but my new area at Shasha has very steady light.

peterdrury:
Dstv 437, thank me later. Its like dsthieves want us to learn french.

Bros thanks o.

Pele op. The brighter side of it all is that once the burns heal you will be fairer in complexion. Seriously. Apply snake fat. Local herbs people sell it in the market or use honey/coconut oil.

Stay away from pressure pots as you obviously don't know how to handle it. Pressure pots are much safer now and it is my most prized kitchen cookware.

cleavon:
Please how do someone market the chia seed to...who are those buying..whom do you contact for sales?..thanks for all the info..I learned a lot from it.

Send me a pm please.

You can Google the images of it and its health benefits. I met it at the farm alongside Spring onions, Fennel, Peppermint, Turmeric, Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano, Garlic Chives, Coriander, Parsley, bay leaf, Gooseberry and many others.

Impressive! Nothing is impossible. I so want to do this

Pavore9:


That is so good, l hope she remits to you via a USD account. Many Nigerians here are into the fabric business amongst other stuff since the Kenyan shilling has become strong as it now exchanges for 1 ksh to N3.70.

Yes. Just that exactly.

Pavore9:


Those guys are really doing well and their farm trainings are really well attended because they are very practical. They have an eye for high value crops. Visited their stand at a fair and they were selling a kilo of their organic flax seeds for $30 and so huge on value addition as they have yoghurt sweetened naturally with stevia, some flavoured with herbs....Helitech makes sense.

There is a growing weightless industry in Nigeria and they strive on the goods you mentioned. Their only source are speciality stores and they are extremely expensive. This is a good business idea.

Nice one op. I am so impressed. I will like to take up vegetable farming too. Your farm is so neat and devoid of weeds

Pavore9:


Are you using the dollar rate in your transaction with her or Shillings to Naira rate?.


Yes you can use sack bags, it serves as an alternative where hitherto one can not grow crops. There is a lady in another thread who is growing cabbages in sack bags.

We use dollar rates at the current black market price.
I will look for the thread, I really wish to start the sack bag farm. Thanks

Pavore9:


Glad someone has verified my post. Are you supplying to a Nigerian or Kenyan in Nairobi?

I am supplying a Kenyan woman.

In other news, I really need to start a small garden in a residential area in Lagos. No soil in the compound just cemented ground . I was wondering if I could do the sack bag thing or use plastic buckets. I am interested in planting just a few vegetables, pepper and sweet potatoes. What do you advice?

[quote author=Pavore9 post=47792026]


Goods worth tens of millions of Naira are air cargoed weekly from Lagos to Kenya without any documentation involved just as long as what is being exported is not contraband. Go to NAHCO shed at the airport and see the agents who are into it.

I facilitate goods being brought in from Lagos to Nairobi, l have my contact person in Lagos drop the goods with the agent at the airport before Saturday of every week and once the goods are verified as not contraband, N520 is paid per kilo then the next Wednesday l go to the shop of the Nigerian agent in Nairobi to pick up the goods after paying the agent $2.20 per kilo for clearance.



I just started doing this as a business. But I send fabrics like lace and ankara over to Nairobi and this is the exact process it takes. Thanks Pavore. You always inspire.

Thanks op for sharing. I have been using uc for a long time and I really enjoy the experience. I have downloaded the add ons the ones I could find. I just hope I don't get more confused tho. Thanks

Fake news! I was awarded TRCN certificate last week because i did PGDE at NTI. Universities accepts it for masters, although some may reject it but we know hw naija works. Some persons must always claim to be d best. NTI modules are very ok, it runs like open university which u must to attend lectures. So please spare me dis ur news if u know wot TRCN means

Pls how do you go about your registration with TRCN?

Kudos to all members keeping this thread alive. It has been a while I posted here. Welldone all!

Akell:


Good Morning, I have a B.A and M.A in Philosophy. Also, currently undergoing PGDE qualification, am I eligible? I reside in Ado Ekiti.

I would advice you apply and let the school decide if you are eligible. No harm in trying

Woah! Dats awesome. But I am so sure my heart won't survive the dive! Well done bro

Take a bottle of Alomo and Ori malu.....and overconfident will set in.......u go even dey drag road with dangote truck and the young macapolo together.....

I need to take this your advice oo my phobia for driving no bi here. I can drive automatic transmission well o. Na manual bi my problem. The thing will just stop in the middle of the road and throw someborry I to disgrace.

I am in exactly the same crises. Moved into a house with accumulated bill of 80000. I do not intend to pay for what I did not use. I will only pay the current charges. The landlord should handle that.

Working on this now for a school project. How interesting

This just so sad. Such a sad and unfortunate incident. May God console and heal all parties involved and RIP to the dead.

RIP

I feel so sad and heartbroken. Such a young and promising man. May God grant his family the fortitude to bear their loss. Amen.
