I've had my fair share of failures in business that I've become very pessimistic about business now but I won't forget one in a hurry.

I was home for a break in school so I looked for something to do to earn money for the main time. A friend of my mom was selling bar soaps then and according to my mom she was swimming in money though she didn't look it o. I met her and she told me how she was making millions by taking the soaps to other States to sell, she advised I went to pH since they had high purchasing power.

I used to hustle street trading in pH so I was familiar with the environs which was an advantage or so I thought. I did my calculations and was in high spirits as I was going to hammer this time.

I borrowed 100k from my dad, bought about cartoons of bar soap and set off to pH on a faithful Wednesday because I targeted oil mill Thursday market . I first dropped at obigbo junction and set my cartons of soap by a corner that the owner was absent and started screaming on top of my voice soliciting for customers...buy your original soap here, only 100 100 naira, e don dey finish oooo, eleme dey look bayelsa dey buy oo, after today no more ooo....I kept shouting....

I got some occasional glances by passerby's as they proceeded to their destinations, one hour turned to two hours yet no one has asked me whether na sample I sample abi na sell I dey sell. I got exhausted from my fruitless shouting and sat down, I realized it was getting dark so I called the number of the person I would pass the night in her place at mile 1....ghen ghen number no dey no reachable .... I shaa packaged my cartoons of soap and set off to mile 1, after all I came for oil mill so I'm sure I would sell all the next day.

Getting to mile 1 around past 8, every where was dark and deserted. I was scared so I had to proceed to mile 3 that was livelier. I packed my goods in one park and started looking for a place to pass the night, I went to a police station but they were questioning me like a criminal even after narrating my ordeal to them. I left and went the a church and the security turned me back that they only allow people to sleep in the church during vigils. I ended up sleeping in an uncompleted building in the state university.

The following morning I set off to oil mill market, I remember when I dropped a barrow pusher came to carry the goods to a place I would keep them but since I was running low on cash I asked him to help me place it on my head....haa oga this thing heavy o e go break your neck o, just give me 3h make I carry am for you.....he exclaimed, don't worry I'm fine I replied.

Five minutes later I was sweating like a Christmas goat with my neck now at 180 degrees, it was remaining just two poles to my destination when I gave up and dropped the bag. I called another barrow pusher and he quoted 250 naira.....chai see penny wise pound foolish, I barely had any strength left to haggle price so I agreed.

I found a corner outside the market and set my cartons of soap, I took one carton and went inside the market screaming on top of my voice as usual, three hours later and I had just sold only 5 bars of soap to make matters worst it started raining and my cartons of soap was in the open.

I ran like a mentally deranged man to where I kept my wares trying to save it from the rain, while I tried to carry the cartons to a shed some gave way throwing some of the soaps on the road with tricycles running over them. A barrow pusher came to my rescue and helped me save the rest.

After the rain subsided I went back into the market and started selling the soap at a 50% loss yet I was unable to finish one carton, while I was struggling to sell my kaya those agberos came with their wahalla and collected #300 from me, I went to a different section of the market to try my luck and 4 different agberos surrounded me with different tickets each not less than #200 . Oga abeg I never sell anything I tried to explain to them, come on give me my money joor one of them roared.
By now I was close to tears as they made away with my goods, heiya its unfair o, you people should pity this poor boy naa, see he's even crying, some market women pleaded on my behalf. They finally collected #500 from me.

I managed to sell two cartons just enough to get my transport back home and set off to the park. I was looking very dirty and unkept, at the park I bumped into a girl I was wooing when I was in ph, she kept staring at me probably trying to deduce if I was actually the person she was seeing. I kept a straight face and went to sit at the back of the bus away from other passengers glare.

At home I took the remaining goods to the woman I bought it from and sold it to her at over 60% loss and gave my dad the balance, though he complained but I carest not.

No matter how e be..... I must make money or die trying

Your story got me sobbing and laughing at the same time.
You must be a simple and easygoing person
May God bless your hustle and may He remember your ordeal those nights
For sure, He never forgets
Nothing escapes His notice nor sight
Sorry Sir, it is well and it will be well

PlayMaker14:
Let's say this new boyfriend of yours starts misbehaving, is that how you will be looking for different "shoulders" to lean on and also fornicating up and down till you get the right one?


You're not better than your ex if we look at it from another angle... Don't justify cheating no matter the circumstances, only morally bankrupt fools cheat and cheating is the betrayal of TRUST.

I am with you on this.
The new guy is not a good guy.
Encouraged & facilitated the lady to start a new relationship despite knowing she is in an ongoing active relationship without cutting the previous one off.
Even went ahead to arrest the ex of the lady and she thinks he's supportive
He lacks integrity. Does not know nor respect his limits nor boundaries
Poor values system
The lady does not understand that you can't use the actions/dispositions/behaviours of a partner in a new relationship to judge. Behaviours which are mostly euphorically & neurochemically motivated.
Impressing one another is what all the partner's actions are centred around
One need to wake up from all the dopamine rushes actions and smell the coffee to know whatzup!
It is when they have a disagreement that the lady will know she hasn't found any good person

I'm not judging ohh.
I'm just buttressing your points

Offpoint1:
The point is Eve hard sex with the devil, then went on to have sex with Adam at almost the same interval and that sex is the popular "Fruit"

Devil has no power to posses human, so the only way to gain entrance is to deposit his seed in human.

After Eve had sex with the devil and went on to have sex with Adam, she conceived 2 kids (She had twins) from two fathers... (Make a research and you'll find out a woman can carry twins with different father)

Why did God rejected Kane offering? No pastor can tell you the reason, they'll tell you Kane gave bad offerings. The offering rejection has nothing to do with what Cain offered, but because Cain wasn't a child from Adam, but a son of God's enemy.

The first evil perpetrated on humanity was carried out by the Devil son's Cain.

There are more to Biblical stories you can't understand.

kenoyad:
She's the reason we re still together, she had got real life experiences and don't want her daughter thread that path. Even, when I don't want to turn up for introduction, she was advised by a guy to be calm and she's been good since then.

I gave her credence & credit. She is rare to come by.
But, then, you won't marry her
And there is a limit or extent to which you can involve her if you eventually get on with the marriage
Somewhere in my head, I'm sure the influence of this woman on her daughter is little
Your gal is not likely to have much respect nor obedience to the woman sef
Pls, don't take me too serious here ohhh
I am far wary of playing god!

tydi:
My ex wife told me she had a Group Intimacy before we met . I saw past it and still went ahead and married her. Let love lead

It is not the act or the event Bro
It is the attitude here Sir
She has gotten poor sense of judgement, lacks discretion, too entitled and unremorseful
Perfect recipe for disaster in marriage Sir
She may make a great lover or girlfriend no doubt
But the odds are stacked high against her pulling a good non-issue marriage
My ten cents

kenoyad:
I learned wifey had slept with a guy that's married and far older than her, I got the impression when we met and started dating and asked her if there was anything between them, she denied.

I got to know from her after three years and she was not even remorseful, claiming she had dated him before we met and that's her choice cause she can date Whoever she want at the time cause she's single.

I always felt bad cause I got suspicious and asked her about it. I always think about it every day and it makes me feel so bad.

Her mother had apologised on her behalf that I should please get it over my mind and count it as when she don't know what she was doing.

We have got a kid and i don't want the kid raised outside a home though we were both not married officially.

I want to get the ordeal out of my mind cause that's the only issue i have with her.

How can I get it over my mind? I think about it every day.

A lot of red flags brother
Too sad you got something good in the whole potpourri.........your potential mother-in-law

southniyikaye:
It was hard letting go the feelings I have for my wife...
Now that have gotten over her, I now hate women extremely to the extent to hold simple conversations with them is now hard..
She has made me a cold blodded hater of the female gender...
This is not a part I wish to tow in my life but the more I try to change into who I was before, the more I hate them so I have decided to steer clear anything relationship for now till I am back to my normal self..

If you are good to them, they tag you as a weakling..
If you are hostile to them which wasn't my default, they tag you aggressive..

To maintain your sanity, deal with them with your brain at alert

Albeit strange as it sounds, I share same sentiment
I'm even presently towing almost same path, perhaps not as hardlined as you are
Because, somewhere someplace & sometime, I know there are good females.
Those with golden heart
Good heart has no preference for gender
It is a rare quality among both gender

TSBO:
Na wa o. Except I missed it, I can't find one well thought out response to the original post. Just sentiments.

Nigeria does not grow enough sugar to meet demand. Therefore, most of the raw sugar input used by local refiners is imported.

A Sugar Masterplan was established so that we can develop domestic capacity to grow sugar instead of just importing. Now each of those three main refiners, Dangote, FlourMill and BUA, have a level of backward integration (sugar farming) they must reach and as they do, they are also given import quotas. If you meet your targets, you will likely get more room to import to make up what you have produced domesitcally. If you don't meet your targets, your import quota might be reduced. This is to encourage backward integration so that over time, we become self-sufficient WRT sugar.

According to the write-up, BUA's new refinery is primarily for exports; it's located in a free trade zone. So, it will primarily be importing raw sugar, refining and exporting. The concern noted by the industry expert is that due to its license from NEPZA, BUA can turnaround and sell it's product domestically if domestic prices are arbitrarily high (at this point, don't forget that the refinery will solely be using imported raw sugar; and yes, they will pay duty (60%) and levy (10%) if they sell domestically).

While it is a good idea to have someone that can stabilise local prices, the other players think this might be detrimental to the sugar masterplan, especially since, according to them, BUA has not really done well on that front. There should be full commitment to the Sugar Masterplan and a refinery in Nigeria that fully imports raw sugar may not be a step in the right direction and depending on whom you ask, might not show commitment by that refiner.

In summary, we all are still trying to achieve the Sugar Masterplan (I.e. reach self sufficiency in domestic production of raw sugar) and here you are creating a refinery that will only use imported raw sugar, and it's not like you are even doing well with the Sugar Masterplan. Also, it may be difficult to monitor that this sugar you are producing is not being sold in the Nigerian market.

I am neither for or against Dangote and Flour Mills but I guess it's rational for them to have misgivings in this situation.

On the other hand, the government can find ways to ensure BUA is more committed to local production and that they don't sell products from the new refinery in the domestic market.. If they can, it would cap what price others can sell at.. Not really a bad thing but it seems a bit unfair to others who are putting in more backward integration efforts.

Evolving world economies didn't get to where they are today by cutting corners. Case in point is Malaysia.
BIP & SMP are laudable schemes which are part-measures
to get out of economic doldrum e.g employment opportunities, more forex earnings, local earnings etc
BUA is taking the easy way out, an exercise that is detrimental to good of all
How does an individual go such a long way out of selfishness, self-centredness & opportunism towards personal aggrandizement without any modicum of integrity!?
BUA flawed greatly here Bro
Always out to quickly make cheap revenues from the nation's vulnerability!
Nonsense

Nigerians don't read before jumping into conclusions.

I am sure you didn't read before arriving at a conclusion.

The typical shallow-mindedness & poor judgement of the Nigerian majority call for concern especially the supposed educated ones. It makes you ponder what future awaits us potentially

My watch-Words: integrity and honesty

I started making money legally several years back and in 2019, i met with a forex trading company owned by someone I’ve known from a distant, i knew him to be upright and godly.

I gave him all my money back then and the goal from his end was clear “financial freedom for friends and family”, along the line, i finally started accepting people’s money and giving it to the trading company.

Long story short, he made a huge loss and the emotional blow it had on me was hard! I’ve always been upright to the last kobo right from time and i’ve never had a reason to take someone’s money into any of my businesses.

Will i recover from the emotional pain? I doubt it because i feel everybody’s pain, i feel everybody who gave me money pain and it’s more painful because most of them do not understand what forex means, so in their own defense, they concluded on the fact that i scammed them of their money.


This is the first time i will be sharing this openly, I pray for healing because i indeed have a good heart and good sees my intention

May God replace your huge loss in multiple folds & clear your name
I feel your loss & pain

Thank you.

Good evening
This is a special post in recognition and appreciation of your sister (Cynthia) who made an indelible impression on me with her industriousness & keen business-mindedness
I contacted her via the Whatsapp which you provided on the quoted post about the need for an excellent sound system.
We settled for the DJ6088
Here is the best part. I wanted to buy an AC because I wanted to spread the courier cost over 2 items instead of one and I proposed to her if she can get it for me believing she was in Lagos. There & then, she disclosed she was in Awka because they operate the sound-systems biz from both Awka & Lagos bases. While there was a model of courier-ing the speakers to the buyer's location for item's inspection and receival before payment, that wasn't going to be possible with the AC because payment is needed at the shopping mall for the AC.
We discussed on Friday and we fixed execution of our plan to Saturday.
She searched for the scarce model of AC which I wanted and was only available at Onitsha but the price was very good saving me like 10K.
Communication was via Whatsapp and voice-calls.
She travelled down to Onitsha early Saturday morning after wiring her the AC & courier fee funds. She purchased the AC, transported it back to Awka and put it on the bus with the speakers to be ferried down to my location, having negotiated the waybill fee tightly with the transportation company in an unrivaled manner. Agreement was I should receive both items at the motorpark, inspect them and wire her the sound-system payment before she instructs the driver to release the items.
And that was just exactly what we did on Sunday. Items were loaded on the bus wee hours of Sunday and by 1PM, I was at the motorpark where I transferred the agreed sum for the speakers and my items were released to me.
I do not have pictures at the moment. I can always post that when I reach home.
Cynthia is a very nice and trustworthy bizlady. Me likey!

08036171057, 08069762403 whatsapp or call and explain the platform you got our contact from

Pls, what model is this?
I keep calling it DJack HT 665 but I don't think it is.
I have checked and seen that the base of the 2 satellite speakers of the real DJack HT 665 is round while that of this is square though their Subwoofer seem same

Also, please help us address the RMS (not the PMPO) wattage of the speakers where & when you give the details of each

I have contacted you Sir on Whatsapp
Thank you very much

Pls, finally, if we are to use strictly the sound quality ( viz sound depth, definition, instrumental separation, accuracy, bass layers, sound stage, sound attack and liveliness) and the RMS, which will you recommend?
How does the one which I quoted first that you called 80K (I am thinking that one is DJack HT665) compares beside these ones you reviewed above?
Thank you very much

DJ 5050M its also a strong model from us and its a 5.1 channel home theater with what we call champagne design because the four tall standing satellite speakers was design with inspiration of Beautifully shaped champagne glass, it comes with Bluetooth connectivity, USB, SD CARD AND FM TUNNER...

Now the amazing thing about this model is...the 4 tall satellite speakers and the center speaker can be tuned separately to give you a full 3D cinematic surround sound....what I mean by this is that...once you have installed the speakers and position them well....you will be hearing you movies as if you in a good cinema house...when playing music you will be hearing the music going all round your head once you're inside that same room

You don't cease to impress Bro!
I'm wowed & awed at the same time as regards your marketing skills

I don't like the setup of the 4 tall srround speakers + central channel + subwoofer
Just give me a dedicated stereo speaker system or a solid 2.1 system

You can see why I am a fan of the Seapiano H767, the DJack HT 665, DJack 6088, Midnight Rocker DJ8338 and DJack Party Mixer
They don't have too many satellite speakers

Can you please kindly do us a favor?
Kindly give us a succint info on all of these (Seapiano H767, the DJack HT 665, DJack 6088, Midnight Rocker DJ8338 and DJack Party Mixer) as you did for the DJack 5050M
Thank you Sir

ezenwajosh:
It has Aux in/out
Bluetooth
Usb
SD card
FM radio with external antenna
The volume blue light projecting knob also serve as input button when you gently push it in and as a volume controller too when you turn in clock wise and counter clock wise also can do that with remote control too

The wire from the subwoofer is long... up to 5meters


RMS FOR THE SPEAKER IS 20WATTS AND SUBWOOFER IS 150WATTS FULL WATTAGE RATTING....when we tell people it shakes you neighbors windows they think it's a joke until they see it

It can be warebilled to your state on PAY ON DELIVERY

Call or whatsapp this number she's the companies online sales person and she takes all the question from customers online 08036171057....

Facebook page.... She handles it too
https://www.facebook.com/DjackKizzmadd/

Touché!
Excellent response!
I'm impressed
You should be well rewarded for your impeccable salesmanship skill

Yeah!!!, I'm buying but making my choice has been somewhat difficult because I want to get something great.
It would have been nice to have something to compare each of those models.
I'm torn between the DJ 665, Black Ninja, Seapiano 767, DJ 5050, Night Rocker & Party Mixer
I wish I could get a manual to help me with the pro & cons of each, and how they compare with each other

ezenwajosh:
80,000

How many RMS?

Does it feature an Aux In/Out?

How long is the audio wire connecting from the Tall Speakers (Mid-Range + Tweeters) to the Subwoofer?

If I want it in Uyo, how do I get it?

Thanks

@Ope88, amidst all other things e.g reckless permissive upbringing on your brother & the likes, your dad has mental disorder (a psychotic problem) and your brother too. Your brother is most likely manifesting this illness onset early in life as encountered in reality more often than not compared to your dad.
They both need medical (mental) care.

Thank you for dishing some hometraining to the bluefilm guy.

Naptu2 is someone I greatly respect on this forum. I asked questions about Dodan Barracks once and he put me through.

And as you rightly said, in 1985, Naptu2 was up and running... despite my long career as a professional assassin, I was still a suckling.

You don't troll guys like that even in jest.

.........long career as a professional assassin....
Ahhh!
Me, I'm just passing ohhh

Can you even compare the logistics of hosting world cup in 8-10 cities and that of FESTAC 77 just a single town created for the purpose. Even olympic you cannot compare festac 77 with, you are talking about world cup... guy you need to go back to school.

Honestly, his argument & reasoning are something else.
