BOOKWORMLUX:Pls how much does "space booking" earns on Nairaland? Just curious. |
[quote author=AFONJAPIG post=92029815][/quote]Wetin concern Yoruba people with your second rate airport? Are they going to land there? They have enough airports of their to serve their needs. And remember these have beenconstructed many years and still in good conditions, unlike the bad Enugu Airport recently built but bastardized by your looting leaders. |
Samysearch:You are the one who is a neophyte to history. Ironsi killed no Northern elites, you must be mistaking him for Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna. He only protected the coup plotters from facing martial justice. |
OUTLAWwizard:Just my thought. Waiting for you to mention it. |
hisexcellency34:Says who? Even combining both their first and second teams on the same field, they will still find the task impossible. Go and ask Man City and Man U, they will tell you who Chelsea is. |
It is going in tears at Old Trafford: Man-U 1 - Westham 2. |
Gbest90:You don come again. Na jeje we sit for our own since, now you come dey find our fight. If we start giving you left, right and front you go say we are wicked. Leave us alone oo till 8.15pm when Westham go don thrash you well, na dat time we go talk. |
omenka:Now that the write-up is favourable to your tribe, you are now waving a white flag of truce to other tribes. We are only accepting this with one eye closed, while the other one is watching you and your brothers with suspicion. |
Kholar211:Your phones and laptops? Ask and you will receive. Visit the nearest EFCC office to recover same. Thank you sir. |
Jahzrockballer:MOO (Member of Opa Oranmiyan) Congrat sir. We will send the certificate of recognition later. Expect it in your letter mail. |
Investnow2017:The woman is an all round thief. She even defrauded the church of N16.9m. The Pastor should call her out in the church and rebuke her sternly for stealing church money ![]() |
Thank God. My state, Ondo, is missing on the NCDC Corona top scorers today. |
gasparpisciotta:Game over. Thank you God. Arsenal get ready to end your FA dream this year. |
Get prepared, goal no. 4 is on the way. |
TheGiftedOne:No. You are not neutral. We have sighted you. Chelsea hater!!!! |
ManU asses on fire. The game is secured. Arsenal your turn to get walloped next. |
Chelsea teaching ManU how to play the game stylishly, with no sweat. Top 4 ko, top 8 ni. |
Theta1:Nobody is accusing you personally, but during your time there did others do it to your knowledge? |
*AVOID IT BY ALL MEANS* ====================== *One of the most prudent things you should do for yourself in Nigeria today is keeping out of trouble. One of the worst things that can happen to a person is to be sent to jail in Nigeria.* *Jail in Nigeria is halfway house to hell. Maryam Sanda will probably never be executed, most Governor's do not sign the death warrant anymore. Orji Kalu Uzor will probably never serve full-time.* *But still Nigerian prisons are like Nazi concentration camps. The food is calamitous, healthcare is none existent.* *I have seen a prisoner holding his eye ball in his hand, it was still attached to his eye socket by a tendril. Someone used a spoon to scoop out his eye ball in a fight. The nurse was off duty. Nobody cared, he died.* *I had a client once who was remanded in prison. He was HIV positive and did not tell me. Maybe that would have been further grounds for bail. He could not take his drugs and he relapsed. Before I could try to get him out it was too late, he died.* *The food given to prisoners is not fit for human consumption, even animals should not be made to eat such rubbish. Meanwhile, huge sums of money has been budgeted for feeding prisoners.* *Avoid trouble, infact, flee from trouble. Anything that will involve police charging you to court is trouble. If you can kill a matter in the police station, by all means do it. Stop shouting,* *"I know my right!"* *This is Nigeria. Your right and left can change anytime.* *Police will definitely ask for big money, if you have it and you suspect your case is not very solid kill the matter there. Even if you think you have a good case, this is Nigeria.* *If your lawyer is shouting,* *"we will meet in court!" in Police station tell him to calm down.* *It is your case, not his. The use of "we," is merely figurative. He will not stand in the accused box with you.* *Remember, it is not what you know that matters in court, it is what you can prove. Besides, this is Nigeria. Ihedioha can testify.* *I was attacked once by a pedestrian in Lagos. The car I was inside brushed him slightly. I was not the one driving. I just told him to be more careful.* *That is how the guy attacked me. He threw 4 punches, I blocked two and dodged two.* *I had the opportunity to counter punch but I did not. I am not Anthony Joshua. A police man eventually stopped him. I quickly removed myself from the scene.* *I was happy enough I was not going home with a broken jaw, neither was I being charged for assault. Sometimes it is better to let some things go.* *I do not mean that you should turn to everyone's foot mat, but if you are going to take up an issue, ensure you are blameless, or almost blameless.* *Avoid wahala. If people are beating up a thief do not join, or even stand and watch, even if it is your property that was stolen.* *If someone hits your car don't start fighting because of that.* *Do not lend people money. It hardly ends well.* *Do not surety people you don't absolutely trust.* *Avoid too much night movement, and partying and clubbing.* *Avoid people who cannot control their alcohol, they always start brawls.* *Realize that a bad situation can always get worse, or better, depending on how you handle it.* *Avoid people who talk too much.* *Be wary with your speech. Do not talk about people behind their backs.* *Always assume that someone is recording your speech and videoing your actions.* *Even if someone comes with negative gossip about another person, do not say anything. If you talk, it is what you said that will somehow find its way to the person's ear.* *Stop saying things like,* *" Do you know who I am?"* *"I no dey fear anybody!"* *"My yes is my yes and my no is my no!"* *Finally, remember to keep your anger and ego in check, the world does not revolve around you, it revolves around the sun. |
LAMENTATION OF NIGERIA INVESTOR I run a manufacturing business and a trading business. The biggest challenge in my manufacturing business is not power, or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting honest staff. Everyone we hire is appears to be on a mission to steal as much as possible. Inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced. The worst part of it all is that all the fraud we've uncovered is not done by a single person, it's usually many staff who collude with each other, from production, to sales, to finance, even top management. There was a year I overhauled management 3 times in a year. But I've found a solution sha, I now use Indian management. So competent, so honest and so straightforward. I thought they were expensive at first with all the visa fees, accommodation, house staff, but now that losses due to staff theft have been reduced to a minimum, and efficiency increased, the Indian management has turned out to be cheaper than the previous Nigerian management. Now, all sensitive positions involving money go to Indians. Nigerians are only allowed in non-sensitive positions. I used to criticize companies like Dangote Group that hire so many Indians when there are many unemployed Nigerians, but now, I understand their decision. My biggest challenge in the trading business is the same, getting honest staff. The form of trading occurs in the open market, and involves staff having access to huge sums of money running into a few millions. I know how much I pay to security companies to provide escorts for the staff, not to prevent robbery, but to ensure that the staff go straight to the bank to deposit the money after the day's sales and not disappear with my money. This money spent on security companies is even enough to be declared as profit. We have to spend on CCTV, biometric scanners and other things that wouldn't not be needed if staff weren't looking for the slightest opportunity to steal. It got so bad at a point that my main criteria for employing staff was no longer conpaetency but honesty. At least, competency and skills can be learnt, but once you're dishonest, you're dishonest. We always complain of the economy and how they are no jobs. I know people abroad who would have loved to set up job creating businesses in Nigeria but they can't because they can't get any trustworthy person to run it. I know people in Nigeria with so much money, they want to start factories and other job-creating businesses but they can't because they are occupied elsewhere and can't get any trustworthy person to run the business. So instead of investing in the real sector and creating jobs, they'll just buy treasury bills, while the thieves are shouting no jobs. Many big businesses would have been born in Nigeria if we could engage in partnerships, but we cant because you can't trust anyone. This is one advantage the Indians and Lebanese have over us in Nigeria. They can pull resources together and do mega-business, unlike Nigerians that because only one person must do everything since we can't partner, end up with small, tiny businesses. Start a poultry and they will be stealing your eggs. Some will even go ahead to be killing the chickens so that they'll be allowed to take them home. Start an entertainment/viewing/game center and they'll be pocketing your money. On the days you're around at the business, the money realized will be x10 of the money realized when you're not around. Because they're eating your money. Lease out a vehicle to a driver to use and watch as he'll finish you. Start a restaurant, the same thing will happen. More than half of the total food ingredients will end up in their personal kitchens. Even ordinary provisions shop, they will find a way to steal. You'll see them with that their evil, wicked saying "na where person dey work, na there e dey chop, na e make dem dey callam workchop/workshop"...... Just imagine, justifying theft at work. And you'll see these people point their crooked fingers at politicians when they're not any different. I usually say the reason most Nigerians haven't stolen billions of government money, is simply lack of opportunity. Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria. |
Kyrx:"Lastly ba, I get one solution wey dey work Wella, genuinely make an oath with whatever you serves, and place a DEEP curse on yourself should you returned to gambling. It will restrict you till your mind is totally free of it." Bad advice. Do not curse yourself under any oath. The repercussion is always too grievous when you break the oath. |
Totoscatter212:If he did not quit it immediately, he will soon lose the remaining money and the building too. There is no gain in gambling. |
nomenclature:Because wè love GOD, and HE loves us too. Mutual love, nothing like it. Try it too, it is sweet. |
CODEIN:Great!!! I envy your knowledge and your writing skillls. |
meetme01:"You don't need to bring religion in any conversation like this. It's a free world and we shouldn't let our own religion over shadow our thoughts or dwell it on others." Like you said above it is a "free world", so I don't deny my FAITH. And remember this is Nigeria, many are highly religious. I am a staunch Christian, and if you are an atheist, with your condition (I empathise with you, many are with the same, may GOD help you as HE is helping me), I will advise you, change your ways and be a Christian too, it helps a lot in coping with your emotions. Also it provides additional supernatural supports, and we all need these. As for the SCI's official parlance, I am a novice to that, and I am not ashame of this because I am an expert in other areas too. I was just offering a layman advice based on a close experience to help the OP writer. Hope this helps too. |
meetme01:Thanks for the correction, it is SCI. Do you have it? As a Christian if you have it, you take it as an affliction. And an affliction is not curse in Christian parlance, it is a test permitted by God on any person to test his or her faith. So oga or aunty English corrector, I insists that I sympathise with the man because I am talking from a real experience as you ought to have realised from my post. So take your English professorship elsewhere. |
Saintmary:For men many stays because they have initially been the bread winner of the family and have been going out to work and bring in the bread. He only needs to employ a dedicated person to help the woman in his absence at an affordable salary until the woman recovers enough strength to be independent. Moreso spinal cord rarely affects woman private part (unlike man) so the man can still enjoy sexual relationship with his woman. I have seen spinal cord woman getting pregnant and giving birth easily during the affliction, giving them additional joy. It is always difficult for any man suffering from SCI, especially at the initial years if they don't have good family support and enough finances for physiotherapy and dedicated helpers. Especially in this country where there is no good medical facilities and cares to help them recover quickly. My sympathy goes to the man under the affliction, though also to the woman because it is not easy to care alone for a quadriplegic spinal cord victim. As for the woman I will advise her to stick with the man during this trying moment of his life, he will soon recover and will forever be grateful to her. My prayers goes to the man, may the ALMIGHTY GOD heal him quickly. I am talking from close experience. |
