Business › Re: A Gift Of N3M Or A Job Of N75,000 Per Month: Chose One! by naijacutee(mod): 7:59pm On Nov 27, 2013
The way I see it, you will need to save 50% of your N75,000-a-month salary for 80months (6 years and 6 months) to be able to save up to N3million. Before you you get that N3million in bulk to do what you need to do. In that time, you might be stuck in that job.

On the other hand, you could take the N3m now and do what you need to do with it. If it fails, you can get a job in less than the 6 years, 6 months it would have otherwise taken you to save the same amount of money.

I think you should take the N3 million and invest it. I see no compelling reason to take the job.
Business › Re: Insurers In The House And MTN's Insurance Cover by naijacutee(mod): 2:07pm On Nov 27, 2013
Valid point! My guess is that the MTN part of it simplifies the monthly payment process, so you just recharge your phone to meet up with your payments. My guess is that once you register your interests, you are sent forms to fill, either electronically or in person. This is just a guess though. In hoping someone who has used the service can clarify.

What need have you identified in the market, & how do you intend to fulfill it? Even Jesus wants us to meet the needs of others, as Christianity is not just about ourselves. I like your determination, but successful people are usually clear about their aims - the plan is to solve one problem, and wealth follows, not the other way round. All the best.

Wow. I know this isn't the end for you, because its better to be rich in ideas and lacking in cash than the other way round. You will always find a way. I think you've got a big story, and a lot of people (myself include) could learn from you.

Have you tried going to venture capitalists? I think it's worth a try. Also, what do you need the cash for? To re-expand? If so, you have a strong chance of getting venture capital if you know how to go about it.

Business › Re: Urgent Advice Needed For A Nairalander!!!(what To Do With 1 MILLION Naira)???? by naijacutee(mod): 10:15am On Nov 20, 2013
Here's an example of N1m can get you in London for example:

House rent + compulsory council tax for a cheap bed sit (self-contained) - Minimum £950/month

Feeding for 1 month if you spend £9/day eating chicken & chips twice a day.- £270

Bills: water, power, gas - £60/month

We haven't added transport, phone bills Internet access yet but just existing in London, doing nothing you'll exhaust your N1m in less than 3 months, and be back at square one if you haven't got a job. Then what? Return to Nigeria empty handed?


Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Why Are Literacy Levels In Nigeria So Low? This, (not Lack Of Jobs) Is The Issue by naijacutee(op): 9:11pm On Nov 19, 2013
Google63: Naijacutee I applied for a freelance writing job which you posted on nairaland a while ago, but I'm yet to hear from you, after you said you will go through the published online article I wrote
Yes, I got your e-mail, and the job is still open.I haven't reached my quota of applicant writers yet.

Illuminatus: Even literacy is overrated. You don't have to be a university graduate to affect the society positively. Nor do you need the certificate to not just get a job, but create jobs.
Most Nigerians have a...somewhat underdeveloped mindset. We have our priorities misplaced and tend to not see what can do, only focusing on what we can get.
Some of the world's billionaires didn't graduate from highschool, much more college.
I agree with you. You don't need literacy to affect the world positively, but this is targeted at those who are job hunting, whose priorities are not necessarily to affect the world positively. The other alternative is to start a business, where one is not judged based on the literary abilities. However, having those abilities still provide the business with a professional outlook, so we can't completely negate the importance of being able to communicate clearly on paper.
Jobs/Vacancies › Why Are Literacy Levels In Nigeria So Low? This, (not Lack Of Jobs) Is The Issue by naijacutee(op): 1:43pm On Nov 19, 2013
I don't think that the major problem with huge unemployment figures is that there are no jobs. When I speak to recruiters, their biggest problems are basic - low literacy skills (apart from a lack of other skills). A friend has been trying to recruit for a marketing managers' role for months now, and she hasn't been able to find someone who a.) Can write proper English and b.) Has the relevant experience.

This makes me wonder what happens in Nigerian schools and Universities, and what students do to improve themselves. At secondary school level, one must be capable of composing a grammatically correct sentence, no matter how short it is. At University level, one must be able to compose a report/essay/presentation flawlessly. I understand that the educational system doesn't always equip graduates for the real world, but it is my opinion that graduates also don't usually take the initiative to brush themselves up where the system has failed. There used to be a bend down select bookshop at Yaba, where they sold a range of books, and English/American revision aids from as little as N200. I don't think business has been good for them.

Take this screenshot for example. It relates to an advert on for a graduate field specialist. Out of 6 posts, 0% are properly constructed grammatically. I know we browse with phones, and sometimes can't waste precious minutes correcting grammar, but how do we practise writing skills otherwise? Do our graduates read? Write on a regular basis? Expand their knowledge through free workshops and programs? Volunteer their time (and gain work experience) to charitable causes and initiatives?

This isn't about grammatical errors. This is about whether or not graduates can write constructively, and how and where they show it.

Great advice from @oneblacboi. Most UK students use www.surveymonkey.com for projects like this. It helps you organise your survey and also presents the results nicely. All the best!
Business › Re: If You Were A Billionaire, Would You Donate Half Your Fortune To Charity? by naijacutee(mod): 1:31pm On Nov 18, 2013
If I had a billion, I would start businesses to put people in employment so that they can help themselves and eliminate the need for charities, and give the rest to disabled charities. I don't think my life wouldn't be very different from what it is now, as I have no real desire to show anyone that I have arrived. Me and my family will probably live on 1 - 2% of the billions... But that's just me.
