Karin001: Thanks for all your contributions to this thread.
I have thought about it seriously. I have also consulted two mentors of mine and they both advised the same thing. Based on this information I have decided to develop a plan based on my personal experience.
It will be larger and more encompassing. We may even allow participants from outside Lagos provided we are all sure it will work.
I am working on this plan and hope to post it in two or at most three parts.
I will commence with Part one tomorrow and the second and third one on Thursday.
Commencement or launch date will now be 2nd of October.
I'm not really advertising but I have a company that manufacture a chinchin slicing/cutting machine that can process up to 80bags of flour everyday.
dannB: Between quality and price, which one among it highly determine the demand for FMCG product. The reasone why I am asking is because I notice emphasis on #100.00 as the maximum price for FMCG product we want to market from Karin001 and Blackie. Hence, does that means FMCG product of #150.00 price will have low patronage compared to #100.00 price irrespective of its quality. Expecting response.
A price of N150 won't work for any FMCG Product. Consumers would see it as excessive. See Gala? It's N50. Pet Drinks N100, Sachet Water N5, now N10. The price is just a single note of the currency denomination. Gala recently took a huge risk by reducing the quantity just to maintain that N50 price.
So, for me, the price is either N50 or N100. It easier to sell. Consumers will be indirectly made to buy more than 1 unit. I No need to look for change (balance).
Ms Karin, obviously and painfully I came late. I've been holding myself from commenting but when I got to page three of the thread, I couldn't hold it any more. When that man made the sponsorship offer, I knew what your response would be and it was just so. So, I'll be going back to page 3 and patiently follow till I meet up with you.
You are too smooth. This might be the key to my entrepreneural success. My N20,000 is ready. Even if I'm not part of the chosen 20, I will play from the sideline.
tukdi: In my own opinion, I think you would have obtained a study leave from them before leaving, that would have made you land successfully upon your return!
Don't have any regret about leaving them for school, because that ND will still help you in future!
Pray hard, God will give you a better job!
Op, don't forget to go back and complete your HND o!!!
And when he gets the HND, what happens next? He'll start job hunting, writing test upon test.
Op, it might sound dirty or stupid to you..... Go learn work. Shoe making, Suit making, or something.... Train yourself in a service those employed people can't do without.
You will own yourself, your time and you will be very comfortable. If you're employed and you're not earning above N1m a month.... You're a slave menhhhhnnnn
Thanks for opening to read my post. Please give me just 2 minutes for me to explain what this is all about.
I'm a printer, it's my profession and the market is saturated. Competition is violently strict. That is why I need around N2m to acquire the necessary equipment so that I can compete and enjoy my profession.

The truth is bitter. Stop making these so-called men of god rich while you suffer. Open your eyes. Don't be brainwashed. Who are these pastors paying their own tithes to?
jonhemma11: According to Muazu Alhaji Misiya who is the assistant secretary of CJTF 25 local Govt Borno state and overall CJTF secretary Bama,a young boy who is a confirmed member of Boko Haram was nabbed by the group.Below is what he wrote....
Exodus 20: 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Phillipians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
I beg to correct. Exodus 20:7 was not talking about Jesus. That place was talking about the Almighty God whose name is never Lord but Jehovah.
It was Jehovah who gave him the name Above all other name.
That been said. Jesus is a normal name. It's not wrong for a parent naming their children Jesus. But that Christ is a name nobody can bear. There's only one Christ. God's only begotten son.
I hope those saying Jesus is God can understand this simple truth and fact.
Nollywood should also be educated. Especially the Yorubanolly. Their crime stories are so lame and stupid. Once Mr A is found with a dead person, Mr A automatically becomes the killer.
Check this, I guy checked in a hotel with his babe. They slept and the next morning, the girl died. The guy called for help, a waiter comes in an the next statement is "what did you do to her? " "you have killed her" Even when the police comes, they will say the same thing.
Now so many accident Victims would have been saved if people are not scared of being called killers and arrested.
Next are those useless hospitals That Won't treat people brought in on emergencies. They will be asking for hospital card when someone is dying.
kindworld: E are all imperfect and bound to make mistakes, I have also made a similar mistake. Sometimes we take wrong steps, it's our duty to readjust ourselves. However I would have suggested you do this privately or pm him.
That's true OOOO. I guess I wasn't thinking then. Thanks.
NaijaMutant: Somebody should please help me define CORRUPTION
It's a shame that a president who rode to power on the back of an Anti-corruption campaign and has consistently preached Fighting corruption to Nigerians on daily basis will now suddenly turnaround and begin to pad and cover up corruption
We seriously need to redefine this Anti-corruption campaign and the CHANGE MANTRA of the APC
Perhaps a CHANGE PDP campaign
or Anti-PDP corruption would suffice to define what Buhari and APC are currently practicing
Corruption is not the problem. KWUARAPSHAN is the issue.

Temilola01: I really need people's advice on how to handle this, as the next few weeks will either break or make my marriage stronger. My husband and I have been married for 5yrs now but we have been together for 11yrs. We have been through so much together, ivf procedures, miscarriages, failed businesses and the usual ups and downs in every relationship. He came to me last night after discovering he has an 18yr daughter who he has never met or did not know till yesterday. We are still waiting on God. Although this was before we met but does not make it less of a blow. I want him to do right by his daughter but I also fear for my marriage. I only just learnt about this literally 8hrs ago so I'm in shock and still trying to wrap my head around it. I need people's unbiased advice. Thank you everyone.
This is not Nollywood where anything can happen. In Nollywood we can do a flashback to the 60's and we'll see an Mtn signboard.
18years is too long a time ooo. And he didn't know? So, the lady got pregnant for him and kept quiet? The lady's family nko? Or the lady Na Allen babe? Or they lost contact? Which kain story be that?
lalasticlala: I'm a Man of God, ...Christians should not have a divorce - Rev. Chris Oyakhilome.
Rev. Chris Oyakhilome has blasted Nigerian media for saying some 'stupid' things about him. He said most of those things said about him are lies. He denied them. He said:
"I understand that some media houses particularly in Nigeria, and may be in South Africa have been writing some real stupid things with frivolous charges. That's crazy. I wasn't accused of those things you said, nor did I commit those stupid things that you said..."
He said "I'm not a preacher, I'm a man of God".
" When it comes to Rev Anita, pray for her. If you are married to a man of God, it doesn't make you automatically mature, you can make mistakes.."
"Christians should not have a divorce, it shouldn't be. But that doesn't mean a Christian should not take this step, they may, but that doesn't make it right, and we shouldn't take one another to court. But when it happens, we are not the one going there, someone is taking us there. That's the problem..."
Who's a man of the devil. Is a man of God a title? Any man doing the will of God is a man of God.
And the Bible says that there's only one ground for divorce which is fornication. Aside that, you're stuck for life. If life is involved, they can separate but they should not marry any other person or else, they'll be comiting adultery.
The man is the head of a family, he's responsible for anything be it good or bad in the family. God was mad with Adam because he didn't take responsibility for what his wife has done, instead, he was blaming God.
So someone who claims to know the Bible and pulls crowd together teaching them should know better. He left his own marriage, yet he's telling Christians not to. Do what I say and not what I doism.

Sanchez01: Actually, the Bible doesn't say anything about blood transfusions. Scripture tell us not to EAT blood (i.e. in Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 7:26; 17:12-14; 19:26, etc.); and getting transfusions doesn't equate to "eating" the blood.
The gist is that we are not to make a ritual of it like the pagans do. Does that mean we cannot put the same "type" of blood into a brother to save his life if his own is poisoned or draining out? That's a great question....YHWH gave us brains and knowledge to save lives; and doctors have figured out that blood transfusions are one possible way to do that.
Actually, the only instruction we can see in the Bible concerning blood is that it must be poured out onto earth, which is in reference to dead creatures. In other words, we are not to be using the blood/life from a dead creature because when a creature is finished "using" its life, its life is to be returned to YHWH (Ecclesiastes 12:7), because it belongs to God who is the giver of life (Psalms 24:1, Isaiah 42:5, 1 Corinthians 10:26). YHWH forbade the eating of blood (Leviticus 7:26-27, Leviticus 17:10, 12-14, Acts 15:29), but in all cases it is in regard to the blood from animals, not from humans. In any case, 1) we don't sacrifice humans, and 2) we don't consume human flesh, and 3) we don't "drink" human blood" when we receive a transfusion.
We know that the 10 plagues in the Exodus were because the plagues represented Egyptian "gods". Scripture itself does not say this, but we can know this by understanding what scripture says and comparing it to our knowledge of Egyptian culture in the era. In the same way, the command not to "eat blood" as we know, is because we are to show respect for life and not do as the pagans did which showed no respect for life. In Leviticus 17:13-16 we find this: 13"When someone from the community of Isra'el or one of the foreigners living with you hunts and catches game, whether animal or bird that may be eaten, he is to pour out its blood and cover it with earth. 14 For the life of every creature - its blood is its life. Therefore I said to the people of Isra'el, 'You are not to eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood. Whoever eats it will be cut off.' 15 "Anyone eating an animal that dies naturally or is torn to death by wild animals, whether he is a citizen or a foreigner, is to wash his clothes and bathe himself in water; he will be unclean until evening; then he will be clean. 16 But if he doesn't wash them or bathe his body, he will bear the consequences of his wrongdoing."
Note that in verse 13-14 we find the rule for preparing game. Kill it, drain it, eat it. But in verse 15 we find that if an animal is found already dead, you can eat it, but you are "unclean." Is that because you "ate blood"? No! It is because you touched a corpse! See Leviticus 11:39-40, which says: 39 "'If an animal of a kind that you are permitted to eat dies, whoever touches its carcass will be unclean until evening. 40 A person who eats meat from its carcass or carries its carcass is to wash his clothes; he will be unclean until evening." It is the fact that the (edible) animal died, and no one could show respect for it by properly draining its "life"; and so even though you may eat the animal which died naturally, you are unclean as a result.
Let's go back to the first place we learn of the "blood" issue. It's in Genesis 9: 2 The fear and dread of you will be upon every wild animal, every bird in the air, every creature populating the ground, and all the fish in the sea; they have been handed over to you. 3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you; just as I gave you green plants before, so now I give you everything - 4 only flesh with its life, which is its blood, you are not to eat. 5 I will certainly demand an accounting for the blood of your lives: I will demand it from every animal and from every human being. I will demand from every human being an accounting for the life of his fellow human being. 6 Whoever sheds human blood, by a human being will his own blood be shed; for God made human beings in his image.
Why could this be so important to YHWH, that we are permitted to eat the meat, but not the blood, even though we know that properly drained, there is STILL blood in meat that we eat? Well, I believe the answer is found here:
Deuteronomy 12: 20 "When ADONAI your God expands your territory, as he has promised you, and you say, 'I want to eat meat,' simply because you want to eat meat, then you may eat meat, as much as you want.21 If the place which ADONAI your God chooses to place his name is too far away from you; then you are to slaughter animals from your cattle or sheep, which ADONAI has given you; and eat on your own property, as much as you want. 22 Eat it as you would gazelle or deer; the unclean and clean alike may eat it.
23 Just take care not to eat the blood, for the blood is the life, and you are not to eat the life with the meat. 24 Don't eat it, but pour it out on the ground like water. 25 Do not eat it, so that things will go well with you and with your children after you, as you do what ADONAI sees as right. 26 Only the things set aside for God which you have, and the vows you have vowed to make, you must take and go to the place which ADONAI will choose. 27 There you will offer your burnt offerings, the meat and the blood, on the altar of ADONAI your God. The blood of your sacrifices is to be poured out on the altar of ADONAI your God, and you will eat the meat. 28 Obey and pay attention to everything I am ordering you to do, so that things will go well with you and with your descendants after you forever, as you do what ADONAI sees as good and right. 29 "When ADONAI your God has cut off ahead of you the nations you are entering in order to dispossess, and when you have dispossessed them and are living in their land; 30 be careful, after they have been destroyed ahead of you, not to be trapped into following them; so that you inquire after their gods and ask, 'How did these nations serve their gods? I want to do the same.'31 You must not do this to ADONAI your God! For they have done to their gods all the abominations that ADONAI hates! They even burn up their sons and daughters in the fire for their gods! 32 "Everything I am commanding you, you are to take care to do. Do not add to it or subtract from it. Read verse 28, then read from verse 30. Verse 30 says "be careful, after they have been destroyed ahead of you, not to be trapped into following them; so that you inquire after their gods and ask, 'How did these nations serve their gods? I want to do the same.' You must not do this to ADONAI your God! For they have done to their gods all the abominations that ADONAI hates! " - these verses indicate how these the "nations" served their "gods", i.e., the pagans drank the blood!
So what have we learned?
We've learned that the prohibition of drinking blood is for drinking blood of slain (edible) animals only. We are to drain that blood to the earth. Drinking blood, as the pagans did, is an abomination to YHWH, and we are to take care not to do that. We are to show respect for the life in the animal we eat and drain its blood onto the earth.
So are transfusions OK? Most certainly they are! First, no human was slain to get the blood. Second, no blood was "consumed" in any pagan ritual which is an abomination to YHWH. Third, according to Genesis 9:5, we will be required to present an accounting for the life of our fellow human being. If a transfusion can save lives, then it should not be denied, and it is not against the will of YHWH. When the Torah was recorded by Moshe, electricity was not known either, yet today, since YHWH has allowed us to use the brains He gave us, electricity is used in all sorts of positive ways - and negative ways! (No pun intended!) Don't be dismayed by medical advances! They are in no way "playing God"!
But, you are correct to be wary of medical procedures "just because we can." For example, today, we can keep "the body" alive at will! We know enough to keep "the body" alive, perhaps forever, by mechanically circulating oxygenated blood and nutrients to the brain and organs, but is that "life"? It is only when medical technology extends its value that it becomes a problem. I hope this is clear, as it is not simple!
I for fear. I think say Na you type the long movie script. So, someone actually sat down to write all these just to tackle what the Bible says?
What a waste of time!
Let me help you.
Jehovah said "Don't touch Blood" Do not use it at all. As simple as 0+0.
If a drug addict is asked to stop Taking cocaine, he stopped sniffing but he continues injecting cocaine into his system. Has he stopped taking cocaine?
NehemiahM: What no?!? I was scrolling down to see ur answers but sir, for this single answer, i stop scroling. John 10:30 "I and the father are one." should be enough for you or 1col. 1:15 "He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God..." there are alot of scripture verse that proves Jesus is God. It's clear that JW don't believe in trinity!
OMG! You are even quoting scriptures that says Jesus is not God. That someone is "an image of another person" does it means he's the same person? Oga Na wah ooo. This is simple English ooo.
That they are one, does it mean they are equal or the same? Man and woman when married are no longer two but WHAT? does this mean they are the same or equal? Oga, think nauuuu. Jesus said countless times that the father is greater than him, that he can never do or say anything but what the one who sent him told him. Hmmmmm
