 Politics › President Obasanjo On Bbc Hardtalk : Is He Capable Of Answering Questions? by naijacutee(op): 3:24pm On Mar 20, 2009 |
Here's a link to the programme, for those who missed it : http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00j6bhx/HARDtalk_Olusegun_Obasanjo_Former_President_of_Nigeria/ Why isn't he answering questions being put to him? Why has he got "no message" for Rwanda, if Rwanda is actually the mother of the problem brewing in Congo? Why is he shying away from giving advice by saying he's only a "mediator"? Why was he taking the corruption charges so personal? Doesn't he know he's on TV? Is he trying to protect the interests of Nigeria or on his own personal interests? Why is he so reluctant to accept blame for the failings of his own government during the period he was in power? |

If you are looking to buy wholesale, I can hook you up with big-sized scented candles from a company that has plenty of stock left over from christmas. Prices are something in the region of N230 per candle and they sell in batches of 192. i.e 192 would cost N42,240 and delivery to Naija (Lagos) would cost N15,000. My e-mail address is in my profile if you're interested. |

Tatia is right. I will head straight for the farm with the money. I know many are embracing animal husbandry more readily than cropping, but I think in the long run, crop production will turn out more profitable. Yes, gestation periods are long, but I think it is worth the wait. First of all, Nigeria has a population of 130million at the last count - all of whom have to eat. So the demand is high enough at home, before we even start to consider export. With this high demand, there are still many gaps in the Nigerian food industry. There are gaps in production, gaps in presentation, gaps in distribution, gaps in packaging. If you can develop a good business model to fill most of these gaps, you would not only be laughing your way to the bank, but also you will easily create a legacy that probably outlive you. |

Like brianromel said, I'm pretty sure if you look around you'll find gaps that desperately need to be filled in the sofwareware market - And companies are ready to pay for them. First, you can talk to company people and find out what they need. Find out what their problems are, and see if it's something your abilities can get a solution for. From my experience, I find that many companies have issues with organising, storing and retrieving sensitive data. Why don't you look into a way of solving this problem. For example, if you look at this thread : https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=239651.msg3517197#msg3517197 and this one : https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-88648.0.html you'll see that it looks like both companies are struggling with their data systems - And this is just two out of thousands of Nigerian companies out there. I won't even be surprised if many so-called "big" companies have similar issues. I think this is an untapped goldmine. |

Usually, in business it is not always best to say "do this, that and the other and you with get money". That is the wrong place to start from. It would be more profitable to look around you and try and see what needs there are. What do people need, (not want) and how can you provide this? Are there any skills you have and you might be able to offer as a service? Is there anything that you're so good that that people will be willing to pay for? Is there a particular "thing" that you can get and you know people need? Can you offer your services as a go-between between people/organisations? Lets start with your interests. What sort of things are you interested in? 3 Likes |
| Business › 419 : The Hunter Becomes The Hunted. (419 People Take Note) by naijacutee(mod): 5:52pm On Mar 16, 2009 |
…To refund victim $47,000 A final year student of the Department of Survey and Geo-Informatics Engineering, University of Lagos, Mr. Lawal Adekunle Nurudeen has been sentenced to 19 years imprisonment for obtaining $47,900.91 from an Australian woman, Pee Loo Rosalind Summer.The convict was arraigned before Justice M.O Obadina of Ikeja High Court on 19-count charges bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and forgery. He was found guilty on all the counts and consequently sentenced to 12 months imprisonment on each count. The convict was also ordered to pay the sums of $5,900, N526, 117.15 and any interest standing to his credit in his savings account with Sterling Bank Plc Ikorodu Branch, to the victim. In addition, the convict is to pay $250 monthly to the victim until the total sum fraudulently obtained by him is liquidated. His two plots of land lying and situate at Mowo Kekere Ikorodu bought from the proceeds of the crime, is to be sold and the money realized remitted to the victim. The Honda prelude car recovered by EFCC from the convict is also to be sold and its proceeds remitted to the victim. Sometime in 2007, the convict who was an undergraduate of UNILAG met the victim on the internet and introduced himself as Engineer Benson Lawson, a Briton working with a multi-national company in Nigeria. Along the line the victim, a 56- year old woman from Australia told the convict that she wanted a husband and all the men she had met always disappointed her. The convict, who is married with three children instantly applied and told the victim that she had met her Mr. Right. To convince his prey, he told the woman that he was a 57 -year old widower and that few years back, his wife and their only child died in a ghastly motor accident in Lagos. He sent the picture of a white man to the victim to foreclose any suspicions. The victim accepted his proposal and that gave room for the next stage of the 419 heist. Few weeks later, he called the woman to introduce himself as Dr. Saheed Bakare and informed her that her ‘fiancé,’ Benson Lawson had an accident and needed money for his treatment. The love-struck woman sent some money. Two weeks after the convict called the victim and thanked her profusely for her kindness. He now told her that he would like to visit her in Australia so that they could consummate their relationship. He demanded for money for air ticket, police and customs clearances and all sorts. At the end of the day he duped the woman to the tuned of $47,000 before his arrest and arraignment by EFCC. http://www.efccnigeria.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=570&Itemid=34 |

Buy a domain name with Google and get Google apps for free. This will cost you about N1500 per year ($10) Here's what Google apps is about : http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en-GB/business/messaging.html And here's a link to where you can set up a domain name : http://www.google.com/a/cpanel/domain/new So essentially, you get an e-mail address with something like you@yourdomain.com, without an actual website but you check your e-mails using Googles easy-to-use e-mail interface. @marc247. You can get a Mastercard locally and offer e-mail services to your clients through Google. I'm sure people would be willing to pay something in the region of N5,000 yearly to have their own domain names. This might be a good business opportunity for you as well if gone about properly. |

@ akinis2009. This thread was originally supposed to be deleted but I decided to leave it here because of the seemingly unbiased reviews on the "program" which others posted. Otherwise, as you may already know, Seun doesn't want such adverts in the business section. P.S The fact that you created a website for them doesn't give their business any integrity. Creating a website for someone is different from doing business with them - And above are the reviews of people who have actually done business with them. Reviews which I will leave there. |

toneyb:Ahhhhhhh, I have seen the light, toneyb! Why didn't I see this before? Anyways. . . toneyb:19Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read:|sc JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. 21The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, "Do not write 'The King of the Jews,' but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews." 22Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written." (John 19) Re: Alleged Hebrew text mis-translation. You know, I have learnt a long time ago that christian skeptics will always abound in skepticism regardless of what facts are placed before them, hence I do not wish to take on the task of changing anyones' views - It is not in my place to do so. These arguments are far from constructive and nearly always disintegrate into insults, abuses and disrespect of people's faith (In other words, blasphemy - Just search the Religion section of NL for similar topics). I do not wish to go down this route with you, toneyb. However, my reluctance to engage you in the issue of prophesy doesn't stem from incompetence on my part. Far from it, I do look outside the world of Google and into the world of books and lectures for my references . The fact that many of us christians do not engage in apologetic research and matters relating to defending the faith does not mean that we are blind or stupid as you may have presumed. I have seen that matters of faith cannot usually be resolved by reason of human intellect and scientific experiments (even in the abundance of evidence to back related claims), and I will henceforth not engage you in your weak "Hebrew translation concerns" on over 400 separate prophesies, spanning over hundreds of years which were fulfilled in the life of one unique person. |

toneyb:Hi :-) It would be useful if your arguments are brought forward after reading the Bible, [s]and not after visiting dodgy, unverifiable websites.[/s] As Kunle Oshob rightly stated, not every prophetic text that was written BC made its way in what we call the Bible today. However, most did, and I'm sure the Bible contains sufficient material from which Jesus quoted. Isaiah 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. OT Prophesy Micah 5:1 Marshal your troops, O city of troops, for a siege is laid against us. They will strike Israel's ruler on the cheek with a rod. NT Fulillment Mark 15:19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. OT Prophesy Psalm 22:16 Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me, they have pierced my hands and my feet. NT Fulfillment John 20:25 So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it." OT Prophesy Psalm 22:17 I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me. Psalm 34:20 he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. NT Fulfillment John 19:33; 36a [33] But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. [36a] These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken," OT Prophesy Psalm 22:18 They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing. NT Fulfillment Matthew 27:35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots. OT Prophesy Isaiah 53:9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death , NT Fulfillment matthew 27:57,59-60 [57] As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. [59] Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, [60] and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away. OT Phophesy Isaiah 53:8, 11 [8] By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken. [11] After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. 700 B.C. NT Fulfillment Matthew 28:2, 5-7, 9 [2] There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. [5] The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. [6] He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. [7] Then go quickly and tell his disciples: `He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you." [9] Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. |

Bastage:Luke 5 20When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven."21The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, "Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"[/b]22Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, "Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? 23Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? 24[b]But that you may know that I have the authority on earth to forgive sins, " He said to the paralyzed man, "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." 25Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God.(Paraphrase. Son of Man = I) John 5 18For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. John 9 35Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"36"Who is he, sir?" the man asked. "Tell me so that I may believe in him." 37Jesus said, "You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you."38Then the man said, "Lord, I believe," and he worshiped him. John 48The Jews answered him, "Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?"49"I am not possessed by a demon," said Jesus,, I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death."52At this the Jews exclaimed, "Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets,, Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?" Jesus replied, Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad, "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" 59At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds." Bastage:On this, we are on the same page - He advocated abiding by Roman laws (Or any laws put in place by anyone of authority for that matter) . Hence, I do not know of any reason why he would be tried in Roman courts as for Jewish offences. Hence, Pilate was hesitant to go ahead with the crucifixion, as he openly demonstrated by washing his hands off the case after the following statement: 23"Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!" 24When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!" (Matthew 27) In the end, it all did facilitate the fulfillment of prophesy concerning the method of his crucifixion. huxley:Hello :-) I think I see where you're going with the prisoner exchange issue. However, purported exchange, or lack of it is not enough reason to demonise Jews for "hundreds of years"? I mean, let's assume there was no exchange (since it was all allegedly made up), does that change the facts that :- 1. Jesus himself was raised as a Jew (and hence knew the Jewish laws - even remarkably by Jewish standards) 2. Yet stood by his "blasphemous" claims, much to the aggravation of many Jewish priests, and to the admiration of Jews and non-Jews alike. 3. Which led to events which led to events which led to events which eventually led to his crucifixion. 4. Which was attended by many he had "offended" through his teachings (Jews and non-Jews alike). 5. And was (by the way) occured in a Jewish town/province/country. Hence Jews played a large role in the life and crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and hence it would be difficult to refer to any of these events without having one extreme opinion or the other o the roles they played. |

huxley:I agree with you, huxley - That seeing that the Romans were involved, a charge of blasphemy couldn't have been the isolated reason for Jesus' crucifixion. However, there is enough evidence to suggest that blasphemy on Jesus' part was the brewing point of all the problems he had with the law, which eventually led to his arrest and crucifixion. His crucifixion which was one of the major reasons why he came in the first place. Re: The prophets. Again, I am not an expert, but around Jesus time it seemed to me that not many prophets were in the business of fulfilling prophesies. Israel was notorious for its tradition of killing prophets, and the last of the "prophesying prophets" had been exterminated 400 years before the birth of Jesus. I think the figures of authority were now Rabbis, Pharisees and Saducees. Post/during the time of Jesus, two "prophetic" characters that stood out in my opinion were John the Baptist and Barrabas (who was after Jesus' time). John the Baptist had his own prophecies to fulfill, and they did not include being the "lamb of God who came to take away the sins of the world". He was just a " voice in the wilderness". The second Barrabas, was the socerer who practiced magic during the time of Paul. He performed signs and wonders, and had a large congregation. However, he wasn't claiming to fulfill any prophesies. He was, if you like, a Derren Brown of his day, who was making a living out of doing cool tricks. So this is what differentiated Jesus from any other who may have claimed to be "him". He has a message, fulfilled prophesy, and performed miracles to demonstrate his supernatural qualities. If I was one of Jesus' disciples at the time. . . . Hopefully, faithfulness and loyalty would have been as much of an expected human quality as it is today. I would hope that I would stand him, and wish for his exoneration. However, his crucifixion was a big part of Jesus' mission here on earth - and he made this clear to his disciples at the last supper. They all knew that he had anticipated, and even accepted his fate. Therefore, doing anything other than nothing would have only been a wrench in his plans. Also, forgive me if I'm wrong but back there, you mentioned something about Jews having no history/evidence of prisoner exchange. But we don't have to look very far to see that prisoner exchange is something that has been prevalent in the Middle East, even in recent times. Did you hear just last year, of the exchange between Hezbollah and Israel, where 2 dead Israeli soldiers were exchanged for the release of 5 Hezbollah soldiers (One of whom was a murderer).

Why the pre-assumption that the questions are hard? I'm a christian and they aren't difficult questions to answer - I'm slightly puzzled as to what your point is, but here goes :- 1. Simply put, Jesus was executed for blasphemy. He, on many occasions insinuated that he was, or was equal to God - a claim which is blasphemy by Jewish standards. 2. Yes and No. According to Jewish laws, they were right to execute any odd person who claims to be God. However, in the light of the evidence provided by the gospels, Jesus ticked all the boxes to back up all his claims - Including fulfilling age-old prophecies over which he had no control. 3. If I was living in Jerusalem at the time, Who knows? I probably would have joined in stoning him. |

I found this case study after a quick google search. http://www.startarecruitmentbusiness.co.uk/how-i-built-recruitment-brand.html The guy in question seemed to build his brand by making his business look attractive and professional. (Professional appearance, logos, company stationary, manner etc) and then he networked with businesses during corporate events. I think there are a couple of lessons/strategies you could pick up from the story. It sounds like on this venture, networking is the key - It makes sense because it is through networking that you are able to meet employers and fully understand the needs of employers and match them with the right employees. Also I think it might be more beneficial for you to expand your outreach a little to cover Lagos as well - Just so you can benefit from the networking possibilities at least. Also, if there aren't any networking in your area, you can pioneer some. Speaking of networking events in Lagos, one word comes to mind - Nipro.
