 Business › Re: How Can We Combat Fraud In Nigeria? by naijacutee(mod): 11:42am On Oct 16, 2008 |
@ skfa1 below: I was just going to say thanks for your post - however, that might just be the end of this discussion. (Where you say "Think of something". . .) But I thought better about it - Let's give us a chance as we Nigerians are highly intelligent people who can rise above every opposition. |

Looking at this thread, I now understand the reason for Nigeria being the healthiest soil for fertilizing the seeds of fraud which were planted by whomever we choose to blame. 90% of Nigerians will rather not talk about it - and start pointing fingers elsewhere : To the West, To the government, To Colombia, To our own "powerlesseness". . . Anything but think of a solution. No wonder we always have to wait for foreigners to come and fix things for us. |

I see. . . . So one taking out life insurance is sort of taboo-like because that means that one is plotting to kill ones spouse. . . . Hmmmm, Interesting. |
| Travel › Re: Decongesting Lagos: Any Suggestions? by naijacutee(f): 10:40am On Oct 16, 2008 |
To decongest Lagos, the government should restructure the transport system and make it up to the standard where "big men" would actually consider taking the bus. I know that in Nigeria, pride is a big thing - Everyone wants to be big and drive their own cars etc and if they get nice, air-conditioned "luxury" buses, maybe even air-conditioned double decker ones. . . That might work. But then again with Nigerians, you never know. We will get some people who will turn away from the focus (To decongest traffic) and start saying "Is it air-conditioner I haven't seen before?". . . |

Seun:Yes, the embarrasment caused to "Nigerians abroad" (whoever they are  ) is one thing. More importantly, we have the future of our children plus the brand of our country to protect (Yes, it is in our hands). And yes it would be nice also, to type "Nigeria" into Yahoo! Answers, and not be met with a torrent of abuse. nobilia:The one they are doing isn't enough already? |

| Agriculture › Re: Export Used Agriculture Machine God Or Bad Idea? by naijacutee(f): 9:30am On Oct 13, 2008 |
I think you might need to speak to local farmers/ agricultural companies to establish that there is a market for these products. It might seem like an excellent idea at first but - [list] [li]What difference will these products make to the life of the farmer? [/li] [li]Will they increase production? Save time? How? Have they been tried in Nigeria before?[/li] [li]Are they products that farmers wish they had?[/li] [li]If so, how do you plan on reaching these particular farmers and demonstrating the prowess of these products[/li] [li]As we know that the soil is different in different parts of Nigeria, is there a particular part where these products are likely to be in demand?[/li] [li]Most importantly, would the farmers be able to afford them? [/li] [/list] I think these are a few of the things you should be considering before you carrying on to import these products, as the last thing you probably want is to spend money on them, and have them sit outside someone's compound for years. I would also suggest strongly suggest that you research the history of these products in Nigeria - and the differences are between them, and the traditional methods of farming. A while ago, a couple from my church, who live in Zimbabwe were recounting their mission and they put up some pictures on a slideshow. There were photos of some farmland which was being worked on, using big equipment (I don't know what kind), and the crops looked small and even sickly. This couple then intervened and got the farmers to try using traditional methods and there was a photo after, showing the farmland to be healthier, with robust crops. The moral of the story was that the equipment was best used in Europe because of the soil conditions, but in Africa, it wasn't being very productive. . . |

| Christianity Etc › Re: What If Obama Is The Anti-Christ? by naijacutee(f): 3:24pm On Oct 11, 2008 |
Who is this "The Anti-Christ"? Aren't there many anti-christs around we see everyday? Even on Nairaland? "Anti-Christ" literally means "against Christ", i.e someone who just like Anti-Virus" means something that's "against viruses" and "Anti-ageing cream" is a cream that inhibits ageing. In this vein, we have too many anti-christs today, (both famous and infamous) to even worry about Obama. . . e.g Richard Dawkins, Osama Bin Laden, Marilyn Manson, Deicide, "Huxley", "Reverend" etc |

| Christianity Etc › Re: Are You Happy You Were Raised In Deeper Life? by naijacutee(f): 8:36am On Oct 08, 2008 |
I was "born" into the Catholic church, but was raised in Deeper life. As with most things in life, raising kids in Deeper Life church has its good and bad aspects. In my opinion, yes the church teaches mostly sound doctrine - however, upon growing up, I realise that the "sound doctrine" is selective. They (As with most other christian gatherings, anyway) lay more emphasis certain aspects of the Bible than others. (But, I do not hold this against them as each christian gathering is different. - Some specialise on praise, others specialise in The Holy Spirit, others specialise in Giving through Tithes and Offering, others specialise in Miracles, others specialise in Teaching the word, others specialise in Christian Missions.) No one is wrong per se. . . As Paul put it ". . . we are all parts of the same body". Now, that's the teaching aspect done. The practices i.e dress code, and behavioural code is one thing I do not fully come to terms with. Requiring people (and this affects women, especially) to have a "modest appearance" is quite different from creating a list of what to, and what not to wear. I believe that adults can use their discretion to distinguish a piece of cloth shows enough cleavage to cause a man to sin from a piece of cloth which is generally decent, and well-presented. I believe that when humans start to determine dress codes and behavioural codes - not so much as relaying what the Bible says - but actually giving people your own interpretation of "what the Bible says" and defining them into Do's and Don'ts. . . It starts to turn into a culture - created by man. . . And these practices are no longer carried out to please God anymore - but to look like other members of the church, to fit into the church, to please man. That is where the point is lost. So teaching - yes. But practices - no. But then, is there anyone/church who absolutely gets everything right? We could try, but that doesn't mean that we will be perfect while we are still here. But hey, that's why trying counts. |

Lets not take this too personal o. . . @ Evept, It sounds like you have your mind already made up. I'm just giving my own humble opinion - I haven't even put a moral perspective on it yet. We have strip joints which tap into the market of men who do not want to be seen doing these "evils"  in the open/during the day. Or are any of the strip joints in Nigeria open during the day? |

Hmm. . . I don't think our society would be tolerant of young, scantily clad women serving food. Promiscuity has not quite taken off here, with the fervency with which it has taken off in the West, I'm afraid. [s]Which mother will allow her daughter to work there in the day-time?[/s] |
| Business › Re: Bringing Starbucks To Nigeria? What Do You Think? by naijacutee(mod): 12:08pm On Oct 01, 2008 |
Thank you, engineerd! Starbucks thrives in the West because :- - Hot beverages (Tea, Coffee, Hot chocolate) are somewhat of a cultural thing. Most Europeans find nothing strange in "having tea" right after lunch or dinner. The success of Starbucks (I believe) owes partly to the fact that they have been able to make a brand name out of taking this "hot beverage culture" and putting it on the street for easy access. - It's implemented in temperate countries. I'm more likely to fork out £3.00 for tea/coffee when I'm walking on the street, in the bitter cold and the nice smell from a warm coffee shop wafts through my nostrils. I can't imagine drinking a hot beverage when I'm sweating inside Lagos. That sort of reminds me of the Agbo mixture which you have to drink in the heat to "sweat out the malaria". . . . On the other hand, we can take the same "Starbucks situation" and plug our own variables in. - We have hot, tropical weather, therefore cold drinks will definitely sell. - Drinks which are somewhat cultural - Well, there are plenty : Kunu, Zobo and maybe even bottled palmwine  (Or is that taking it too far?) 4 Likes |

It's not easy to make $5000 in a regular, normal, brick and mortar, face-to-face business not to talk of online. If you think that you can buy one of these "secrets" that everyone is selling and make $5000, then the simple answer is NO. The logic? Well, if you had "something" that brought you $5000 every month, would you be logging onto Nairaland everyday to sell it for N1,500? Would you rather not concentrate on that "something"? |
