Christianity Etc › Re: They Say they are holding her stars. . .whats wrong with naija pastors? by naijacutee(f): 12:19pm On May 31, 2010

It's not just in Nigeria. We as humans do not often like to take responsibility for our actions. We do not know the girl in question, and whether it was her choice to study medicine in the first place, and if it is a course she has a passion for. It could may well be that her parents have pushed her into the course, and she thought she could cope in the beginning, but has now given up.

On the other hand, she could have been studying hard, but has just been unfortunate enough to have consistently failed etc, then there may well be something wrong somewhere (the nature of which is probably yet to be determined). I will not hastily rule out the possibility of there being spiritual problems involved, just because I don't understand it.

Christianity Etc › Re: The Left Behind Christians by naijacutee(f): 12:08pm On May 31, 2010

I will hesitate to give a thorough opinion on this topic, as I know so little about it. I have read the "Left Behind" series though, and here's my take - Technically, the rapture is the final and fatal test of anyone who is a true follower of Christ - anyone who is a true christian. Thus, anyone who is "left behind" wasn't really a christian to begin with.

P.S Please bear in mind that the Left Behind series are only fictional.

Christianity Etc › Re: I Reason That Athiesm Is A Form Of Religion: by naijacutee(f): 12:04pm On May 31, 2010

I agree with you. There are many atheists who are just as fanatical (albeit in the opposite direction) as many christians and muslims, with the excuse of "being sick and tired of the fanatics propaganda". In being "sick and tired", they themselves become fanatics.

Business › Re: The Opportunies In Oil And Gas In Abroad by naijacutee(mod): 10:29pm On May 19, 2010

I have a secret for anyone who wants to be a trillionnaire (or whatever a billion billion billion is) in the oil and gas industry. It's simply converting gas flared by Shell, LNG, Chevron etc into electricity. The market is there. The resources are there - in fact, I'm sure these companies would embrace a solution to their problems, plus the technology is out there (See: http://www.greenpacks.org/2010/03/16/natural-gas-flaring-could-be-used-to-generate-energy/ and http://www.gov.sk.ca/news?newsId=cd2c31b3-7af3-49a9-b6a3-233304a12ab0). It's a win-win situation. The only thing is that you will need to do your own research on how to go about this. . . but I believe that it's worth it.

@ poster, if you have big space u can actually do more business and render other IT services to your regular customers and outsiders may come and patronize you for those extra services.
you can add booking of flight tickets, free seminar on how to browse, believe me some people need it in your area, and make sure you are consistent.
wish you the best.

Business › Re: Any Printer In The House? by naijacutee(mod): 12:12am On May 17, 2010

Yes, this person is based in Naija. In the UK - it depends on what you're printing. I've used 247printhouse.co.uk and their quality is amazing for promotional material. If you're printing something like a book, then there's a printer/publisher that prints for a charity which I do some work for. But contact 247printhouse via their website, and ask them to send you some samples of their work in the post. They will send it free of charge.

Business › Re: DO YOU NEED MAGIC TO DO IT? by naijacutee(mod): 11:25pm On May 16, 2010

In my opinion, this is the type of philosophy that turns intelligent, able-bodied young, promising people into beggars. There is no short-cut to success. There is always hard-work involved - either physical or intellectual (though I think intellectual is better). Anybody who believes that they can buy a N1,000 "secret" from someone who is struglling to make a living by selling secrets for one one thousand naira deserves to be pitied. What makes people successful is their ability to find other peoples problems and solve them.

Business › Re: Any Printer In The House? by naijacutee(mod): 11:12pm On May 16, 2010

If you're based in Lagos, I can refer you to a printer of very good quality, who undertakes printing work for ETB. I'll send you an e-mail as I don't have permission to post his details on a public forum.

Business › Re: Cost Of Living In Lagos, Nigeria by naijacutee(mod): 2:35pm On May 08, 2010

Sid, I believe that your decision shouldn't e based on the money alone. If your basic expnditure is covered, then $24,000 is more than enough to meet your needs and even save some money on the side, provided that your main aim isn't to compete forthe latest Blackberry phones and T M Lewin shirts. I think that working in Nigeria will also add a lot "weight" to your CV - there are a lot of innovative opportunities for you to explore. As a reasonably stable, developing country, there is plenty of room for you to use your skills in a recognizeable way, which you would not find anywhere else.

On the state of the nation, I have nothing against expatriates coming down to work in Nigeria. In fact, from the employers perspective, $24,000 is a very good deal. Afterall, there are plenty of highly skilled nigerians working abroad, and spreading in population like wildfire - that is one of the consequences of globalization : the Internet, telecommunications and cheaper air travel has made the world a smaller place. My only issue is that if we as a whole are championing for a better Nigeria, then let us take a holistic view on our actions and how they will contribute towards the improvement of the country. If I was an employer in Nigeria, I would employ expatraites as well - but only on a fixed contract basis. Also, the expats should have good training skills, and be willing to train Nigerian colleagues in their area of expertise. So that when the expats leave, Nigerian employees can take up their positions, do what the company would otherwise be employing foreigners to do, and save the company money while improving the employees job capabilities on the internatioal front. It's a win-win situation.

Business › Re: I Need A Business Consultant In Uk by naijacutee(mod): 12:31pm On May 04, 2010

It depends on what industry you're in. I know a consultant, Doug King who's based in Welwyn Garden City and specialises in construction. He's a nice chap who worked on Nigeria in the 70's or 80's. He worked for Julius Berger as an expatraite and I can put you in touch with him if you want.

Business › Re: Frozen Foods Business by naijacutee(mod): 2:25pm On May 03, 2010

Wow, you two have just stumbled on a good opportunity.

I think the main this is to source a supplier for your frozen food first. Find what food items people buy within that area - Fish? Chicken? Shrimps?. How can you get these cheaply? Where do you presently buy these items from? The market? If so, how much do these go for? Can you get them cheaper tahn the market prices? Where do the market sellers get their from?

Once you are able to answer these questions, you can invest some money in buying some. As a started you might want to put a sign outside your house (If it's allowed by the government of course), telling people that they can now get their frozen chicken and fish here. If your prices are the same as the market prices, then put your prices on your noticeboard as well. Buyers find it annoying when people advertise something, and the price is "Call for price". Putting the price would automatically exclude people who would call only to waste your time. You only want prospective buyers calling.

This is just my gut-feeling response. I hope people in the business can shed some more light on things to watch out for.

Properties › Re: Welcome To My House by naijacutee(f): 11:30am On May 01, 2010

Nice thread, I hope I'm eligible to post here. Damp is a big problem in my house. I think the bathroom wasn't properly built so somehow, the water finds it's way through the tiles and into the walls and reappears downstairs! At one point, the water from the bathroom used to trickle into the lightbulb box downstairs! This looked dangerous, but thankfully, my landlord is a really nice guy. He retiled the bathroom and this stopped the problem for a while, but it only resurfaced again. I think the (expensive) solution is to rip out the bath completely and put a shower with it's own shower walls in. But then, that's a costly option.

As for my neighbours, I don't know the people who live on the left. I think they are a family with small children, as I have heard children playing in the garden. Otherwise, they might be grandparents whos kids visit - I don't know, I have never set eyes on anyone living in that building before. Maybe it's because I leave home early and get back late. My neighbours that luve on a different side are a different story. I think it is a house that is sublet to different tenants who don't really know each other. The one I have seen before is a bit strange, I always suspected that he was a druggie, until one evening he knocked on my door and asked me to call the fire service as he hasn't got a phone, and he thinks he set the place on fire. I thought it was a joke so went to see, and lo and behold, there was smoke everywhere but the thing is he went back into the burning house and sat on the stairs! Anyways, I called the fire service, they put out the fire but the house still burnt down.
