They want to remove Oshiomole. How many of them can defeat Saraki alone in an election?

Badaru has problems with Oshiomole cos of Ambode,
El Rufai has issues with Oshiomole cos of NGF Election which Fayemi won,
Obaseki has issues with Oshiomole cos of apparent issues.

People who have never won national elections in their lives fighting someone who defeated Saraki, Kwankwaso, Atiku and other heavyweights not to talk of small ones like Adeleke, Eleka and Co.

The Bible says in 1 Peter Chapter 4 that let none of you suffer as a wrongdoer or as a thief.

You're fraudulently breaching someone's intellectual property rights and you say it is praising God. Praising which God? That's why most of them can't perform outside Nigeria cos they can't perform without breaching the law.

If you're not careful, you'll praise God in prison.

Hi,
Don’t know how you may see this, but i and my friends are about starting an internet company similar to airbnb.
Software already built and we are in the testing phase. We are seeking for some business minded people and investors who can invest resources into marketing.
If you’re willing to learn more about this project and it’s ecosystem or want to know what our revenue plans and road maps are, kindly message me on here and I’ll give a follow back.
Cheers.

Hi.
I'm a corporate and investment lawyer with close to a decade experience in real estate. I have a couple of tech startups I currently advise on investment, legal, compliance and regulatory issues. If you require such, you can let me know.

This ur story is wow!
Let me tell u my own version,I am an Igbo man born to a disadvantaged family in Lagos. After my graduation from the university in the Eastern part of Nigeria,I relocated to Abuja even when I knew it was tough for me at that time i mean really tough.
It got so bad that my parents called me one day that I should come back to Lagos which I persuaded them it will get better someday.
Lo and behold,I got a bank job where I was paid 48k as monthly salary and I managed it until I got someone who introduced me to side hustle which i started with the entire money I had saved throughout NYSC.
Today, am happy to have left Lagos for Abuja and even the Bank job which I learnt so much from and my earning per month is in millions from just my side hustle per month. I don't mean to say all this here but to encourage someone out there to take the bold step in life.

Now, just imagine you decided to go back to your comfort zone. Adversity maketh a man.

To make progress in life, you must move.
To move, you must take a leap of faith.
To take a leap of faith, it's either you decide to or circumstances push you into taking that leap.

Another angle.

People skills?
Social skills?
Interpersonal skills?
Relationship skills?

the someone is not his friend na or don't you know what friend is?

Your uncle might even have the money to rent a small house but he didn't cos it would be unwise cos there many things to pursue first than just coming to lagos to rent a house first.

Okay, that's not his friend, it is his enemy.

"Might, Maybe, If". I'm telling you raw first hand facts and you're guessing what may have been. Someone that told me the reason he chose the University he attended in the East was so that he could be getting free food from his uncle's house cos they wouldn't give him money after paying his fees. That's the person you're saying had the money to rent house in Lagos.

Bros, stop helping that guy look for excuses where there are none.

I have a Nairalander who was posted to Lagos as a corper. She stayed in the RCCG family house at Yaba, later she saved and got a small students bed space in Yaba. Today, she's running 2 jobs in Lagos and I'm very proud of her of maximising little opportunities.

If everyone starts telling you their stories, you go hear, your ears go full.

OgogoroFreak:
your uncle entered Lagos without knowing anybody but he was squatting with his friend.

Yes. He didn't know a single soul in Lagos.

When he got to Lagos, he met people at Deeper Life in Lagos and they helped him get someone to squat with.

You see, in this life, you either have results or you have excuses. No two ways about it. It's left for us to pick what we want.

I am recollecting tons of people close to me who came to Lagos without knowing anyone. They are successful people and some have even relocated out of Naija.

I'm not d type dt launch out to an unknown place with direction nor destination. My personality & orientation won't even permit. But , I certainly know my challenges & what I lack. Till I av d skills, knowledge, exposure, & well-to-do influence around me, I thank God for my present position & hope for d better soon. Thanks u all

Hope is not a strategy.

Let me give you 2 experiences of people who faced similar situations.

I had a room mate in the University. He studied Economics and graduated with a First Class. Upon graduation, he was looking for lecturing job in the University and wasted about 2 years there. Subsequently, he went back to his home town in Ekiti state and was teaching Mathematics and Economics there. We got talking and was saying the same thing you're saying. No one to help, nowhere to stay in Lagos, etc. I gave him the same advice I'll give you now.

Your location is limiting you. You aren't doing too badly by the general standards of your location. The problem is that you desire what your location can't give you. I suggest you seek greener pastures in other locations.

My uncle entered Lagos with only his "portmanteau" and his Law degree without knowing anybody. He was squatting with his friend in the old Nurses hostel in Ikoyi. He went to Law school in this Lagos and got his first job thereafter. Today, he's the Legal Director of a Multinational company here in Lagos and a wealthy man.

My friend I mentioned in the beginning moved to Lagos, got a fantastic job in a Telecoms company and the last time we spoke, he was in China on a business trip.

I understand that you are risk averse but please, how do you want to be great in life without taking risk? You want God to help, remember Abraham also relocated severally in the Bible?

I suggest you find a way to connect with those who require your skills and are willing to pay better than you currently earn.

Really? Check all the contacts on your phone this evening and know how many are mtn, glo, airtel and 9mobile. Give me feedback.

Edoairways is correct, let me use myself as an example.

I got my first sim in 2003, that was 16 years ago. I've been using Mtn since that time as my major line with another Zain line (now Airtel) line as backup. Cos of my work, I'm always online. I buy airtime of 4k per month, I then buy Mtn data of 500 Naira per day, every damn day, 1k on weekends. Calculate that in a Month and then a year. I spend quarter of a Million Naira on a single MTN line in year.

In October, I got a glo line for something else. I always heard Glo network was terrible, so I didn't buy it for data. Upon activation, I loaded 1k airtime and was given tons of bonuses. I tried browsing with it and it was surprisingly fast. I thought it was a fluke and loaded 1k for browsing, I got 1.8G data and 2G bonus, making 3.8G for 1k. That was the last time I spent a kobo on data on my Mtn line.

MTN lost the 20k I pay monthly for data and very soon, I'll only be using them for receiving calls.

The fact that you see many MTN users doesn't mean jack. Those who spend much don't need adverts and promo, they need value. Telcos make more money on data than voice calls.

funkyjms:
I'm curious. What are the reasons? Legal fee or what?

Nigerians have a morbid fear of Wills. If you tell them to write one, they feel you wish them dead.

Still selling

As a lawyer, if you advise a client to consider writing his Will, such client would NEVER call you again.

I once met a friend’s dad who was millionaire that wine and dine with top government officials but he was using Nokia torch then I realized that it’s not about the phone but the contacts in the phone.

Security wise, old Nokia torch lights are the best. People can't remotely control your phone and tap your conversations and no foreign government is storing your details on their server.

I will be on ground to start,monitor or run the business,

But again,am i paying UNIBEN for the land or How is it done sir. Should i buy the land?

You can decide to buy land close to Uniben OR you can decide to lease from Uniben and they'll give you part of their own land.

If you're buying, the land and property becomes yours 100%. The cost of the land is factored into your costs and increases the cost of the project. However, you can decide to sell off the hostels as they are yours 100%.

For the PPP option, you approach Uniben and they give you land for lease. You pay a premium on the land, build your 200-room hostel and collect rent for a specified number of years after building. Usually after 20 years. You can't demolish, sell or otherwise part with the ownership of the hostel.

The thing is that hostels built on PPP model are usually more lucrative cos they are within the school property. If situated towards the school gate with a separate entrance into the hostel, you're made.

To decide which to go for, consult your investors and assemble a team with indepth knowledge of the business and have done it before. They would tell you the smartest ways to go about it.

I am a Dallas based investor,I wanna invest in Nigeria Edo State where i came from.

Which is more secure and lucrative to invest in;

I wanna build a CBT test Hub with 300 computers in Benin City or Build a 200 units self contain student housing in UNIBEN.?

Which is better and why ,which other businesses is more secure in this Buhari Government.?

Thanks you my lovely people!

How do you intend to monitor either of both businesses?
Else people would ruin you, I can assure you of that.

I have had clients who built student hostels in different parts of Nigeria. What I'll advise you to do is this: if you want to build student hostels, don't build 200 rooms at once. Build it in phases. See what you're doing clearly and make mistakes before going all in.

A smart way to go about this is to approach Uniben for a PPP arrangement. They give you land big enough to build your 200 room hostels and an Irrevocable Power of Attorney for a specified time (usually 20 years). You assemble your architects, lawyers, engineers, surveyors, etc to build according to the school's specifications.

This way, you're sure of full and consistent patronage and chances of you getting cheated are minimised. In a couple of years, you cash out.

In Nigeria, monitoring your business is more important than starting. Your own family can mess you up. In construction, only involve those you can use Police to deal with if they defraud you.

Happy Sunday
