Hw has failed Nigerians. N where's Mr lier mohammadu he should come n defend d dullard

Hi. My phone was stolen hence the reason I have been off.

prettysolid:
They must be ofe mmanu peeps. Cuz dem and dirt are like 5&6.

Most landlords in lagos (particularly those in middle brow areas) do not even like renting out their properties to Igbos reason being that they get the flat over populated and they have a very poor maintenance culture. They have this attitude of "no be my property" whenever little expenses come up. If you happen to be a neighbour to one and the pumping machine goes bad, it will be easier for a needle to pass through the eye of a camel than to get their own part of the contribution to fix it. I have seen houses being occupied by them where the WC is broken and they kept on sitting on it because of the same "no be my property" syndrome. Even when little things like door handles are bad, they won't fix it. Except for a few, most igbos I have seen in middle class areas in lagos lack a good maintanance culture to another man's property. Only an igbo landlord knows how to handle them and those ones give them a very big headache. Infact, I have had igbo friend who swore never to get an apartment owned by an igbo ever because of the stiff high handedness. Most of you are ingrates and take for granted the liberal nature of an average yoruba person. So, always use your senses before typing nonsense.

This is really clean. What is the odometer reading?

Deefuray:
You've been noticed..... Run along

This is what you get when parents do not train their kids. You are so rude and mannerless. Does the OP in any sense look like your mate? Or cos you have been dazed all around by diferent sizes you feel you can just talk anyhow? Idiota!

craziebone:
i am currently serving and will be through early next year. I am good at the sciences apart from biology. Maths, Phy, Chem and English are subjects i am good at. I speak near impeacable British accent. People have commended me before among whom are my counsellor, HOD guidiance and counselling and my friends. I am also learning Mandarin. What prospects are there for me?

Enough bro. Just keep on talking to people particularly thise that take lessons. You should have at least one soon.

MindExplorer:
Yea. You are right. I just moved to the Lekki axis and I am beginning to observe this trend of payment especially with the Private Lessons. Though I'm very new there and I'm yet to get any. Pls I do not mind if you have any that you can refer me to. I am very good with Maths, English and Sciences. See my signature for my contact invade of any possible chances.
Thanks a million!

Exactly. Okay bro. School is on break now though and most of the students would have traveled out. Just keep on following me bumper to bumper so that we can relate well. Send a PM pls. I just came in too. Trying to settle down and I see alot of prospects here. Some teachers here are far better off than a banker o. I know nothing less than 8 colleagues that make at least 300k per month(lessons + salary).

Chukzyfcb:
well I think your set of clients, are people of top class or very high middle class. I am quite sure that if you visited any school along agbara ota road where I schooled, the likes of corona ,loral, faith academy or bells where boarders fee for a class should be about a million or more by now. I can say for sure you will be disappointed by the figures you will hear. maybe lekki residents are generous lol.

Well, you can't compare that side with lekki, ikoyi axis except you get a well to do client there. Most of the pupils in one of those schools you mentioned are actually resident here on the island. Some of them just decided to go to the boarding house there.

Infact., you won't believe this. I have taught in a government school on the mainland before and the highest I ever get from a parent trying to make me teach the ward was 5k. The average negotiation was usually 1, 500 naira per month. So, I usually teach free of charge cos that amount is just too poor and they will even owe you. When it is time to pay the supposed 1, 500, you won't hear anything. The child can then bring a loaf of bread and will be like.... My mum said I should give you. In my mind, I will be like... Na bread I wan chop?

zicoraads:
Did Jude ask for his number to be posted here?

Naturalwaves...you are on point about that lesson talk and high end clients. I sometimes take them too, especially during weekends. And the circle I accept (only circle) is the high end circle. And for me, negotiations always start at 50k.

Your negotiation should actually start from a 100k+ because they are going to beat it down. Carriage matters too. When you say a 120k per month for e. g, they can beat it down to 70k and then you say 80k is what you can consider. Before you know it, they will accept. At all at all na him bad pass you go get 50k. If you do one ver well and the client is impressed, you don hammer o cos that client go refer you die.

Chukzyfcb:
because u charged 50,000 doesnt mean its the norm. i have siblings that do private lessons, none ever crossed 20,000naira as charges. the teachers are from the school they are in, and their school fees isn't cheap. so don't make it seem like its the norm.

It is not the norm. 20k? That is too low. Damn too low. What you charge depends on a lot of factors. Your client, what you teach etc. Infact, I once charged 75k . I have a friend that charges 20k per hour. I have seen someone collect 150k per month. Like I said, depends on you, the client, your negotiating power, knowing your worth etc. So, you are right, 50k is not the norm . You can get as high as 180k(a friend of mine collected this steadily for 1year for teaching a girl mathematics and after she passed her entrance exam into one of the most competitive secondary schools, her dad slammed my friend with a 500k thank you cheque). All these butress my points about the numerous opportunities here.

@OP, whatever you do, I will advise you to pick up any job in that area or axis even if the salary is 50k. When you are there, it is like playing in a big league. You move from one school to a better one within a twinkle of an eye. Some schools around that axis are in the lower cadre like the one you are considering while others are in the higher cadre.

I teach in one of the schools in Lekki and it is not bad. Moreover, education is highly valued here. You have great prospects for private lessons. At 2 times per week, 2 hours per time, the minimum I have ever charged is 50k (a grads salary with government). What do you think will happen if you have 2 of them? Before you know it, recommendations, referrals etc i. E if you are very good. You will have to even start turning down the private lessons offers at a time.

Clone2020:
How is the OP able to change his name to "nobody?"

It means that he has deactivated his account. When you deactivate your account, all your ptevious posts appear as " nobody".

Although I drive with the original placed permanently in the car I drive but it is not too good cos sometimes, I may not be able to drive other people's car. I am a bit careless, so moving with it all around will definately make me lose it.


I think the best thing is to always present the photocopy of your licence and never ever hand over the original to those people particularly the police. The reason is that once you hand over the origianal, they will just seize it just to make you panic or pay one ridiculous bribe but if you give them the photocopy, they know they cannot seize it.


Moreover, Nigeria lacks a good database system. If I am a certified driver, does it mean that I cannot drive any car on emergency or something? Must you necessarily move with a licence everywhere? Are we not humans? What if i forget my licence at home? Can't I just give my name to the officers and they search it on the database to verify? I turned down a colleague's plea to help drive her car one day because my licence was not with me and I know how stewpid the officers could be. They can even impound the vehicle and ask you to come for it when you have your licence with you and if you do not want that, you have ti rub some palms. So sad!

The highest I have driven on that bridge is 120. The major problem is that despite the fact that the lanes are well marked out , drivers do not stay in lanes. Some swap lanes without trafficating. Some will overtake by your side, get into your front and then slow down in front of you. Some broken down vehicles do not quickly place a C Caution and some of those that do place it so close to the broken down vehicle. God help us!

zicoraads:
So you are saying I am licking Mynd44's butt?

I'll rather lick yours

Mynd is too skinny jor

And which one is 'high class sarcasm?' Is there 'low class sarcasm' as well?

Didn't know it had types oooo

Hahaha. Thanks for making me laugh. Happy sunday

tyconcepts:
Abeg help me complete the research

Hahaha. You should havemade it richer joor and she died early at just 59 . I will have to go read about her somewhere else since you only gave us a snippet.

At the last Olympics, she blamed witches for her loss. Honestly, Nigeria should stop taking anyone that has not ran within 9 to 10seconds consecutively to any 100m event. If you are not running ess than 10 seconds, you have no business at the olympics because you won't win any medal. Kudos to her though because it is not easy.

ednut1:
nope, its a bank sha

Okay. Used to be one too.

I don't know if this is the right section to post this but I think the woman is a celebrity

Meet Ladi Kwali (1925 - 1984), the woman on the Nigeria ₦20 note. She was born in Kwali, Gwari region of Northern Nigeria, where pottery was a common occupation among women. She was so skilled that her work became known in mainland Europe, Britain and the Americas. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, her work was displayed in London at the Berkeley Galleries. She became Nigeria's best-known potter, was awarded a doctorate and was made MBE (Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) in 1963 despite not having a formal education.



So inspiring....Something worth emulating.


Lalasticlala come and see this.

Very poor narration and too short . Nothing much to read, nothing much on her background. How did she die etc. Poor research work.

zicoraads:
No wonder the forum is as it is. So, only few commenters were able to spot the sarcasm in Mynd's post?

There was nothing to suggest that it was a sarcasm. If you know much about sarcasm, you would know that it is usually hidden within a statement . It is only those that know Mynd that will know he was only trying to be funny with his post by saying what some people would have said. So, that is not a yard stick to measure the intelligence of people on this forum. Do you think everyone knows Mynd or stays online almost throughout the day to know who is pro Apc or Pdp or whatsoever?
I knew he did not mean what he wrote and was only trying to be funny but that does not mean that people who do not know are less intelligent because the sarcasm is not a high class sarcasm. It is you my friend, that should learn how not to butlick people because obviously, Mynd is your yardstick for measuring intelligence. Smh.

annnikky:
Get a lawyer for someone that is still alive or dead

The woman survived and that was why she was narrating the story. The heading was just to create awareness about how women die during child birth at FMC Asaba.

I still feel VIO officers are the most terrible ones. The reason is that everyone knows that VIO do not take bribe and this usually gets the officers annoyed for no reason particularly the females. I will advice everyone to know the rules, get all required things and know the specific duties of each of these corps or forces.
I was stopped by VIO very early this year and the following ensued.
Woman: Can I see your vehicle particulars?
Me: okay (gave them to her).
Woman: No insurance. ( I searched the vehicle and gave it to her ).
Woman: This is not a comprehensive insurance . This is 3rd party ( we were actually going to process the comprehensive but did a 3rd party for the mean time but I thought to myself if it mattered).
Me: How is the type of insurance your business? Insurance is insurance whether 3rd party or comprehensive. (She was shocked.... Went to meet a colleague and that one told her not to make a mess of herself from the way they behaved I could read it. She kept on looking at the documents ).
Woman: You do not have road worthiness certificate or sonething like that.
Me: Road worthiness? This is a brand new car and it is road worthy. If a brand new car is not road worthy I wonder which car would be so, I do not need a road worthiness certificate because it is road worthy by default.
Then, she said she will give me a ticket bla bla bla to go pay in the office and so on. I told her to hold on and I need to see their boss. I explained to him and the man gave the woman a look that says "you are very stupid". He checked my seatbelt label, saw the year of production of the car etc and said..... Pls let this man go. Meanwhile, another one had asked for my DL and checked which was okay. The woman was so sad.
The point is , they do not care, they are very wicked particularly because they know they cannot and do not ask for bribe so, they like to waste one's time . If I had not known all those small small things or if i had not thought fast enough, I would have been cornered with the insurance issue and road worthiness certificate.

The last time a police officer stopped me andasked for my DL, I told him that it is not his duty to ask me for my DL except in case of an accident or emergency( I made sure he was not carrying gun o before saying that ).
His response: Na you sabi book abi? Abeg, make una dey go joor! ...... and I zoomed off.

It is really well maintained indeed with those tattered interiors.

skitcentral:
I did three three. Pictures are posted in order of list numbers. Number one picture corresponds to number one on the list. Posting singles may cause the nairaland bots to ban me for spamming.

I know but please make it 1 : 1 . So that the picture comes immediately after a name rather than going up to check the name against the picture.

@OP, re-arrange your post and let each picture follow the names and each writeup. 1 picture per name.

chiclas28:
I want to thank God i got a new job. we just finished training of three weeks this Friday and I was among those selected to resume on Monday. since the training started i always come from festac to lekki every working day. (lekki phase 1 is where the company is located).
please I really need help with accommodation from naira landers. thanks and God bless.

Where in Lekki phase 1 and what company precisely. Do you have cash for accomodation or nothing at all?

AntiWailer:
First, his contract with the guys he fought for finished. He has a definite number of matches and he fulfilled that obligation.

Secondly, the idea of retiring Unbeaten is also fascinating.

Hahahahaha. The dudeis really funny. I just hope he manages the money well. Thanks!

LastMumu:
Under what rock have you been living man? Mayweather already retired although he dropped some hints two months ago or so that he might come out of retirement to fight one final record breaking big money fight.




My initial reply wasn't to you, it was to another poster I figured didn't know Bolt has lost a race before. I have met a lot of people who never knew or believed Bolt has lost before so try to understand why I had to reply him.


And yeah, my reply was about racing in general and wasn't restricted to the Olympics alone.

Honestly, never knew Floyd retired. Damn! I know he likes money so he may consider the fight. Care to tell me the reason he gave for his retirement when he did? Cos I feel he still has so many years ahead.

AntiWailer:
Floyd has retired.

Oh really? Why so early? I know he is a young lad say early 30s maximum. I never knew he retired ... Not a fan of boxing. Thanks for the info.

LastMumu:
I wasn't speaking out of context and the person I quoted wasn't specific about Olympics.




Does the name Floyd Mayweather Jr ring a bell?

I think you are supposed to change your moniker to firstmumu and not lastmumu( just joking). Floyd still has a long way to go and is not yet retired. My statement does not only refer to the past but past, present and the future and that was why I did not say or use the statement " that has never been defeated" . I said .... "That is never defeated" which leaves the probability of tasting a defeat someday. Like I said, the video makes no point and sense to me cos I knew he has been defeated a couple of times but not at the100m olympics so, let us assume you are talking generally and not in the context of the olympics.

LastMumu:
Whoever mentioned the Olympics? What I was saying is that Bolt isn't infallible, he can be defeated and he has been defeated before, except in the Olympics where he hasn't tasted defeat yet. .

Justin Gatlin did it here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAz6yRznoiM


Tyson Gay also did same here


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U6hYPpVwUU

Save your video links. Still makes no sense bro.Learn to discuss issues with respect to the context in which in this case and the person you quoted, it was about the Olympics. Have you ever seen a sportsman or woman that competes solely and is never defeated?

Moreover, you should know better than pasting links of athletes who cheated by using enhancers. Bolt's speciality is not even 200m(just saying).
