Magun doesn't exist

know this know peace

Hmm

He then woke up from sleep and found out it was a dream

Wow, those attendants that fought the fire are real heros.

Tinubuadvocate:
I don't see anything wrong if you get pregnant.

While there is nothing wrong in being pregnant, how will it look for her son, daughter to be giving birth same time with her or even have a grandchild older that your child? As in him being older than his uncle

Dialpad:
Even business accounts cannot transfer 10 million at 1time .

Tell another lie

Hmm. You are very wrong here.

greatseed:
Mummy spilt brat. Dnt go & work for your own money.....pscheew

Lolz, that is what we said those days when rich kids oppresed us.

Indispensable85:
No wonder politicians deceive you people so easily.

What has this got to do with politicians deceiving anybody?

This story may not be lies oh. Some parents are so rich and their kids soo spoilt. To them spending money is not a big deal. I know a relative that pays her kids hundreds of thousands monthly as pocket money. Once in a while she drops like 5m into each child's account. Of course their streetwise friends will collect the bulk of the money.

"Godforbid baby while should you say things like that, I no Igbo tradition more than you do, any married man that sleeps with another man is bringing untimely death to her husband, I don't want to be widow she replied emotionally".

Is this true?
In other cultures eg Yoruba, Hausa etc, what is the repercussion.

It it were that easy to be rich (just join illuminati) all Nigerians will be rich by now.
Infact gov would have been urged to form a federal ministry of illuminati and poverty alleviation (FMIPA).

superCleanworks:

Abeg no kill me with laugh. Sometimes I do laugh at ppl that are financially unintelligent.
Ppl go just open your unguarded mouth to say "I started a biz with 27 thousand and made 1million in a month".and greedy mentalists will garbage in, one week they will garbage out.

Bros, some one asked me of my experience, since I was less busy and was having some whiskey, I took time to write a mild recollection of my experience. Scroll down to read it if you have the time.

Bonesbreaker:
what's your experience like

Horrible. Just after nysc, I think 1996/97 or so. Someone told me of yam business and how lucrative. I interviewed him, got details. I went to mile 12, did my research. Saw it might be lucrative. I then gathered 150k then, took the guy along. We went early in the morning and entered transport with one of the yam traders to buy. Paid her transport to show us the way. Most, if not all were women. Na so journey start. From description it was meant to be few hours journey. Omo we traveled for over 9-12hrs to get there. Cannot remember the name of the place. But I remember passing a old colonial sign board with old Oyo empire written on it. We further entered a rickety vehicle that drove on a dirt dusty road for a long time. By the time we got to the place my hair, nostrils etc was red from the dust! I looked like someone from Mars!
Now the yam market was in a very large clearing, like a field. The farmers will bring the yam and place them in bundles of 10, 20, 50 or 100 ( cannot exactly remember). You will the go and price each bundle with other buyers. Truelly they were cheap. When you buy you have people you pay that will gather your bundles.
Time is of essence. You must buy fast and accumulate the quantity you need to load them early in a truck before morning. I bought enough to fill half a 911 mecedes truck the following day. Those women will buy and do groupage. Ie several buyers loading in same truck.
See, different people will come for fees oh. Tickets etc.
By 3 am in morning the truck moved. Do you know the women climbed the stacked up yam on the truck and told me ajebuter to climb too .? Me that bought half truck! I no gree. Bottomline I had to squeeze in the cabin after 1 woman dropped.
Now traveling back to Lagos was another matter. Nobody told me you will meet checkpoint where you have to pay. Aside police, you have farmer union, forestry, produce people, local government and all sorts on the road that late at night. Before the truck changes gear, another stop and pay. Their work is to collect both legal and illigal taxes.
We even met an accident where a truck that left before us rolled over. Several women died and some injured.
Finally we got to Lagos ie mile 12. A whole new ball game.
You as the importer of the yam cannot sell. You have people that own space that you will offload your yam too that will sell for you! You will pay them first for ground, then they sell and also make theirs. So my "seller" was selling mine and others. Omo, he will negotiate anyhow price with people and tell me to take the money! Me I will be arguing as a "jew" man while the women will shake their head and take the money saying sometimes you make loss. As howww!!
Me I did not know the dangers of not selling and they did not tell me.
I sat down in the sun all day waiting for gradual sales. Do you know those women sold anyhow, gathered their small money and disappeared. Apparently they had entered the boot of those trucks and headed back to that jungle after old Oyo empire!
That night I went home. Finally had a bath after 3 days.
As early as 5 am I was back at mile 12, see shocker, they had moved my yams aside as new trucks had arrived with fresh yams, for the first time I heard of what is called "old yam". My yam was now old yam and had shurnked, was darker in color than the freshly offloaded ones! A bundle they priced for eg 8k the day before and I refused was now being priced 4500! Infact few people were pricing them. New trucks with fresh ones kept comming!
To cut the story short, I had to get a vehicle to pack my remaining yams home. Out of my 150k I had only sold recovered like 50k!
Some women around the area stated buying them as if they were doing me charity work. I don't think I saw up to 65k of my money.
Anyway what I found out is that those women "importers" are stuck in the vicious circle. They have no option. Some as the travel to market, they don't get home for weeks, as from there they sell, gather what they can and enter returning trucks back and forth.
Do they make money, well, that is relative. Is the risk worth it? To me, no. There are easier ways of making money.
Theirs is what jay z calls a "hard knock life" .
Pardon my long story. You asked for it.
Nb: The type of yam was called Abuja yam back then.

Dont try bullshit with abokii, their way no streight. Abokii those days that will stab persin because of 1 stick of benson

gunners160:
O.P welldone but I Dont agree with what you have just written. U can never and I mean never save upto 1m from doing this job. Yes, you might make 1m but when you calculate your savings minus expenses within the month you will be left with little.

I have been doing this job for several years now and i also have a cafe. I have the customers in fact I sleep in shop most times but to save milk within a month, na lie.
Pl note, I Dont spend recklessly

Omo, I no been Wan talk before, because the way the op wrote his break down was the same way some one broke down yam business for me and I took all my savings after nysc in the 90s to go buy half a 911 of yam. Omo, watin my eyes see ehhh. I no baf sef for 3 days.

Jeremy123:
Case about to be died down

Certainly the minors must be granted bail. This case get as e bi.
I don't think much can come out of it legally especially if the boys have strong legal defense.
That is the reason parents should try their possible best to be attentive to their wards.

rentAcock:
With the way COVID is ravaging the whole world I think this herbal drug will do very well. We've seen the COVID virus mutate into different Greek alphabets from delta to lambda and now to omicron, before this whole thing is done with, we may be fighting all the alphabets from alpha to omega. I saulte NAFDAC for having such confidence in this locally made herb, this is the right step in the right direction. If Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna and Merck can manufacture vaccines and pills for combating COVID to the tune of several billions of dollars, I don't see why we shouldn't develop ours.

The world will look out for themselves before they look out for Africans. Why do you think they've been shipping almost expired vaccines to Africa? Why do you think the U.S and the rest of the developed world hoarded millions of vaccines when Africans couldn't even get any? Why do you think the rich countries are currently taking their 3rd booster vaccines while many poor countries haven't even had one let alone a booster shot? It's time we look out for ourselves and I commend NAFDAC for this development. If the big pharma companies can get emergency authorization to sell their barely tested and proven vaccines to the world, why can't we do the same with our herbs?

Me and my household will be the first in line to buy the ABUAD Herbal Virucidine Liquid when it comes out.
May God continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

"Why do you think the rich countries are currently taking their 3rd booster vaccines while many poor countries haven't even had one let alone a booster shot?"

It is available in Africa, even up to the 3rd dose. The issue is that Africans don't want to take it.
Go to health center nearest to you, it is free, but are people taking?
I took my 3rd dose last week Monday. No queue. Only me and my madam there.

Beebah2000:
Oga, go and buy another one.
Your Cartier glasses don enter voicemail.
Simple!!!

He knows it wount be found by anyone cos it is not missing in the first place.

Victorclean1:
That business is oil company. Don't underate it.

Lolz, don't go there.
That was the first business I tried just after nysc in the 90ies. My experience is a topic for another day.
See lots people are stuck in businesses they cannot get out of because the know no other business. This lady is stuck there possibly her mother introduced her to it.
The gains is small, but the risk and sacrifice is much.

How well are you doing in your civil service work? Eg, imagine working in Nnpc, cbn etc then leaving to go start afeash in the UK.
But if you are a lowly staff and don't see a future in the service, then walka fast.
You may also chose to relocate just to give the kids a bright future.

tshtsh:
Lol airpeace one way to accra is 86k if you buy on time. Remember the progressive pricing regime they use. After the first 5 seats are released the next price band is display. Nevertheless, they are using a bigger aircraft now so more cheap seats

I get you. But unfortunately they are not doing the progressive seat stuff on the ghana route. It is fixed at 250k. 6 of my immediate people left thought ghana in the past week. 2 are on the way to the airport as I write. 250k eack irrespective of early booking.

SouthWestBlood:
250k? That's madness. The last time I flew to Ghana through Airpeace in early 2020, It was around 150k. How can I spend 250k on an hour flight?

My broda I taya. When we thought airpeace will crash the price. They are taking advantage of the fact that you have to go to ghana to board emirates to Dubai.

Chiefecho:
No hate
But I just don't like this guy
He looks dirty for a start
At least he should buy our interest in his looks first, meanwhile starting this music career with an online beef is stupid of him

He looks like he is on very cheap drugs, uncultured, uncouth. He needs a scub with metal sponge, using detergent.

Who the hell is this charlatan?

fuckingAyaya:
79years old hand

This hand no resemble that of person weh don hold rifle before

SouthWestBlood:
Dubai, here I come. I hate flying, but I trust Emirates Airlines because of their standard. I can never fly Airpeace to Dubai.

If airpeace decides to compete and brings their price down maybe emirates to will be forced to reduce their ticket cost too.
But seeing what airpeace is currently doing with flights to ghana, I doubt. Imagine charging 250k to Accra, a flight shorter than Lagos to Abuja.
