Evidenx: if Godis not hearing your prayers,check your life,sin is present .
God answers the prayers of a righteous man not a sinner. You live in sin and expect God to hear you,you are a joker.. FOR THE EFFECTUAL FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN,AVAILETH MUCH(makes tremendous power available)
Also is not that the hand of God is too short or is hears deaf,BUT YOUR INIQUITY HAVE SEPARATED YOU AND GOD,says the bible. Don't equate righteousness with good deeds. Doing good deeds doesn't make you righteous. You are quick to point out how he must be a sinner, it says a lot about you. What he is praying for might not be God's will for his life, His answer might be a "no". 1 Like |

Don't listen to this guy unless you want to come and sit under the canopy and be coming back everyday. Never ever go to immigration office without a facilitator….I work there anyways just incase anyone is trying to quote their daddy. Rather, don't listen to this person. My first passport application was filled online and I only went to the immigration office for capturing. I didn't know anybody there. My second renewal was the same thing, my biometrics were captured at their HQ in Abuja. In all instances, I never gave a dime to facilitate what I assume should be my constitutional right. I was intentional about that. 2 Likes |

This guy has got himself into trouble for no just cause. He claims to be fighting corruption but I think he's just after the clout. No respectable journalist would have run with such a story without seeking reactions from the parties involved. What he has at best is hearsay and doesn't constitute evidence. It's his word against Falana's. Was he there when the transaction took place? When you put something like that out, you have to make sure your evidence is irrefutable. |
Investment / Re: Where Can I Invest $1,000 For Guaranteed Returns? by Miyachi: 4:46pm On Nov 01, 2024 |
IncredibleWrite: Good day people.
This forum has been very instrumental to my growth since I first discovered it in 2013.
Quick question here:
I have $1,000 I want to invest but I don't know how best to invest this money.
I'm thinking US stocks but I don't know if it would be the right investment with guaranteed returns.
I would need your ideas and contributions as I wouldn't want to make mistakes.
PS: Please don't suggest crypto. I've thrown in over $2,000 into acclaimed potential alt coins but what's left in that portfolio isn't up $400.
Don't send money to anyone or invest in anybody's business. There's a high chance they are all trying to scam you. If you want guaranteed returns and safety of capital, invest in FGN Dollar Bonds. The yield is 9.75%, with a minimum investment amount of $10,000. You should be able to invest with a minimum of $100 in the secondary market but the yield might not be as high, maybe 8-9%. You can also research FGN Eurobonds. Another option is to invest in dollar mutual funds offered by some banks and brokerage houses. GTB has a dollar fund, United Capital has one and a couple of others (Try Cowrywise and assetbase.capital). These are more aggressive and you're capital is not guaranteed but I think they only invest a small part of their funds in money market instruments. The last and DIY option is to invest in the US Stock Market. Register with a broker, and buy shares in companies yourself. You can do your due diligence or get stock tips from the US Stock Market tips thread here on NL. I can't remember the name of the thread but you can google it. 1 Like |
Business / Re: The Boy I Employed In My New Business Has Finished Me Within One Week by Miyachi: 9:25am On Oct 31, 2024 |
PeterObi4Presid: Business is really hard in Nigeria if you are not there 247, We are too wicked, greedy and dishonest.
Less than a week, I employed this boy o, to manage my gas filling retail business and POS. He displayed passion, initiative and experience about the gas filling business and handling of POS....so I just took the chance, we also speak same language. I've been acting nice and all but I think I now know why most Nigerian bosses are mean to their workers by default . Now from first cylinder we couldn't account for 10kg Second cylinder was started today by him......when I told him to calculate everything sold from first cylinder based on daily record book ....it felt short of 10kg . From the sales from second cylinder that started today, The account book does not tally with what is remitted through ATM/POS mode of payment .....I dint know this until I checked my Moniepoint acct as I got home now cos my phone was dead before I went to the shop this evening . Even the POS part of the business does not tally with the cash I gave him this morning for people who need cash withdrawal . I'm boiling right now realizing the boy had lied to me when balancing the account this night using the record book, only to get home and power my phone to see cash fell short of 23k in my monie point acct linked to the POS . . How do you handle boys who think they are smarter than you because theyve been in the business before? . And what are your experiences with dishonest workers in your business , especially this gas retail business or POS business . Modoified: how do I handle this case now....cos my mind is just boiling ....how can a new business fall short of 38k in less than 7 days...
.
You have to be proactive about monitoring and balancing your books EVERY SINGLE DAY. I had similar issues with a lady I employed. I had to make sure to get the books and POS every evening after end of business and make sure that all the transactions add up. There are really terrible people that don't mind running you down. I found out that treating employees nice doesn't even make a difference, THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS! Be fair but very firm, let them know who's in charge. Don't hesitate to wield a rod if need be. 4 Likes |

LegendHero:
Both of them are profitable. E-commerce generated most of their revenue for North America than even AWS. But in terms of operating income, AWS is better.
Both segment are still profitable.
Don’t conflict Amazon USA with Amazon international.
The guy is right. What you just posted is half the story. Revenue does not equal profit. If you had read the whole article, you would find out that AWS makes majority of it's operating cost (profit after subtracting operating cost). That is because cloud is highly scalable while e-commerce is not. E-commerce is a low-margin business. When you factor in the cost of last-mile deliveries and returns, there's not much left. I think what he is trying to say is that there might be a market for cloud computing providers in Nigeria. Jumia can work to solve that demand. |

This is the problem with you: you never want to learn.

Economics is about 400 years old if I'm correct. People are awarded Nobel prizes. It comes with a doctorate program. Someone can not rise up one morning, spurring rubbish, thinking he talking economics.
Go through that link and educate yourself.
For interest rates to work effectively, it must be higher than inflation.

I want you to answer these 2 questions after reading the article.
1. Who are the target institutions in an OMO?
2. What does OMO stand for? Economics is not an exact science, raising interest rates doesn't necessarily guarantee that inflation will be curbed. This is just a symptomatic treatment that will only provide temporary relief. Our leaders are not ready to find a solution. 2 Likes |

UrbaneHR:
No professional HR practitioner worth his onions will discuss salary with you on the very first discussion on the phone.
It is only desperate candidates that seek to know salary range and that's why they get short-changed.
Your best bet is to have an in-depth discussion with the potential employee with a view to understanding what value he can actually bring to the organisation before the negotiation starts.
Salaries and by extension rewards are very relative and even a range can be broken in favour of a really good candidate who knows his worth and is able to convey same. It is only right to display compensation upfront. Why would I waste my time going to an interview and not knowing the salary range? 3 Likes |

Just say I should teach you. You have read the constitution as many times as you claim and yet you don't know the relevant sections. Read section 7. You keep using the word "govern" like some mysterious thing. We have three branches of government. Of course, the primary function of the legislature is lawmaking, while the executive implements, with the judiciary interpreting. They are all part of governance and presiding over the affairs of the country. This guy, you're an impossible chap. It is the state house of assembly that has the powers that govern the local government. Above is the statement you made. In this context, you used "govern" to mean "exercising authority over something". You've outlined the functions of the relevant arms above. Please reply with excerpts where it says any of these arms are supposed to preside over the affairs of the local government. Or more specifically, where it says that the state house of assembly is saddled with the responsibility of governing the local government. There's nothing I would want to learn from you, it's either you're plain stubborn or just ignorant of the meaning of words. 1 Like |

I will tell you again, go and read the constitution, as a layman you will certainly have difficulties, then you can ask questions.
 For your information, I've read the Nigerian over and over, I had that much time when I was younger. Please quote your source. It's is available online. Show me which schedule it says that the state legislators are to govern the local governments. It actually sounds unintelligent to say that the legislature is meant to govern.

blacknp: Ignorance is a curse, the state Governor has no business with the local government.
It is the state house of assembly that has the powers that govern the local government.
Read by themselves to study, they will never do. for others to presume and tell them, is what they prefer. This is an ignorant statement. The work of the legislature is never to govern, at best they provide oversight but not control. The local government is meant to be autonomous and independent from both the state legislature and executive. What has happened is that governors have rendered the local governments useless. I wait for the day LGAs will be granted true autonomy, it will really change the dynamics of Nigerian politics and maybe bring development closer to the people. |
