Please tell me is not true.

Healthrelatedjo:
Learnt gazzuz is dead...how true is this please ahhh

For how much Oga you doing this kind of job?

Philipponzaghi:
It's easy to point fingers when the going gets tough. Instead of violence, let's support President Tinubu as he navigates these challenges. Rome wasn't built in a day, and change takes time. We need to give him the opportunity to implement his plans and policies. Patience is key!

Stop this.

Ok.

Psoul:
Okay....I'm following you here to make it easier to remember u.

Alright cool. If you can remember to mention me then please do. Thanks.

Psoul:
Thanks dear for your suggestion. One day, I will sit down to tell the story in full. So many parts are missing from this story.

Na wa ooo for the price. Some years back I think around that Buhari's first tenure I bought fairly used Bajaj for roughly 160k plus for business from these Hausa men that sell them that Mararaba axis.

stagger:
Don't mind him. Does he know that a Boxer motorcycle from Bajaj company in that Mararaba area is going for N1m plus? Ask him if he has N100,000 in his account, talkless of N1m.

You should have created a thread for this post na. So that it can be pushed to front page. This great story of yours should not miss in between another thread. We hardly hear this kind of inspiring stories now a days. Thank you so much. Lesson from your story is that the humble beginnings of anything one decides to venture into is just a vehicle taking the person to their great destination. Only if the person is ready to accept starting small and endure the rough patches encountered on the way to the great destination.

Psoul:
Guys bookmark this thread.
If this guy will be consistent in doing this job with all humility, focusing on getting better daily, it will not be too long when we will also hear his success story.

Never u despise ur humble beginning.

I could remember when I lost my job, I started "TYPE YOUR DOCUMENT HERE" business. . Hope u understood that. I was typing documents for people. Job u will see 95% of ppl doing it was females.
I started doing that job without shame.
I was already touching money before i went back to that level.

Some people will enter my small shop and ask, who is the one typing and when I tell them I am the one, they will be like Ahhhh.....Oga na u wan type. I will say yes.
I was and still very good in computer applications and has relatively good command of English language.

I will pick up their job, type it and made great corrections for them.
Some of them, I will just ask them to tell me what they want and I will put it down for them in papers.

Quality of my job made me to become very popular within the town.
One day the High Court in my area had light issue and the court clerk came to my shop to run court documents.
Court documents has a special way it is written and designed.
When the sample of it was given to me, I did it so perfectly that when the Clerk went back, his boss asked who did such a great job.
That was how they gave me contract to be handling all their documents. Money don dey come oo.

Secondly, the same happened one day the Local Government Chairman was passing around my shop with his driver. They stopped over to make a print out. Unfortunately, he doesn't have his Letter Headed Paper.
I told the driver not to worry as I will design one for them. I did and the man was so happy for saving that situation. He gave me money that was over 15times over my charge for the service.

He gave me his card and invited me to his lodge, where I used his computer to do many other jobs for him. That was how I became his friend from 2009 till today. He is now like a brother to me. He is a big politician in Abuja and still comes down here to visit me.

Few day ago, he call me and said......You are an Auditor, I said yes. He said, I want you to audit my hotel for 5yrs period. Get your team, put up ur proposal and tell me how much it will cost you to do that. Don't give me charge like a friend. Give me ur charge like business transaction.

He has also introduced me to so many of his big guys.

One thing he said to me one day.

"For all those periods I was the L.G Chairman and PA to Governor on Security, all my confidential documents passed through you, I never heard any of my confidential stuff outside. You protected my official and confidential data. I love you for that."

I used that "TYPE YOUR DOCUMENT HERE" job to get married to my beautiful wife.

Now, I can boast of setting up good business for me and another for my wife and also has a regular job as and Auditor.

When i was doing my typing job, I extended to helping students do their assignment and doing research job for them for their final year Projects. I charged good money for that especially those lazy students. Some will tell me to write their project, type and bind after corrections have bn made.

I letter employed 2 young ladies and even started doing computer training for people.


Boy, never u despise that humble beginning.
One man one day after I finished typing his documents (He is a lecturer) he paid me N100 and asked me, is this what you will hope on to get married and train your children? You can imagine how I felt that day.
As God would have it, after a while, I got 1yr contract lecturing job in the same university that man teaches through one Director in the school.

You are the kind of person that when asking for help or support, it shows that it is not being wasted on a scammer. Thanks for being real. Abuja is fake it until you make it lifestyle but Tinubu regime just changed the narrative. It is now face the reality and hustle your ass out cos fakeness can kill now.

sheddyboy01:
Life has phases, there is always a starting point, having submitted CV in several organisations with few call up and no job offer yet, I decide to give Okada Business a try. And if you reside in Massaka, Nasarawa State. And stays around Akwanga, Gwandala, Luvu, Area 1, Zone 5, Zone 4, Up-market etc do well to patronise me.

You can as well tell us how you started, it would mean a whole lot to us at this stage of life.

Please my dear update those prices on that image you added to the post. They are outdated. Paint of gaari is not 2000. Na 3500 currently for a paint of yellow gaari.

Proudlyomonna:
Foolish people.
Tell Your vegetable President to repent from being such a calamitous failure

Well I no support any protest now oo,APC go sure get urchins wey go turn the protest to another Endsars madness where people's livelihood will be looted.

Just be se this tinubu own failure just no make sense at all,but make all man go him house go cry ebi npka mi in whatever language wey him for inside him closet .
Election sure has consequences, may the strong stand.

You welcome

geewean:
Thanks so so much.Your kind words are uplifting.

Wow. I can imagine how devastating it was and has been for these families even after almost 19 yrs later. Life can never be the same for anyone after the loss of a dear one but just know that you're a strong woman and our latter days in life will be greater than the beginning.

descarado:
I know that case very well. Shell directors lost their kids there. Actually, Shell md was in our house when it happened and his son was among. I know 5 kids there by association. It was like a black Friday for us that day.
My big bros colleague and friend lost his only son, Shell md lost his. Another family friend lost 2 kids and I have forgotten how I know the other kid. The family that lost 2, I think the wife died later. One managed to get 1 after ivf in Holland then and lost the boy.

After that incident, parents narrowed down the choices they made concerning their kids education and herd mentality.

It's not everybody that has the mental capacity to endure great loss.
One of my aunt lost her 2 kids and lost it mentally even though she had other kids later.

I am telling you. I am so sorry. It is God that helped me not to slip into depression.

geewean:
This is so painful.

If you haven't lost someone dear to you then you won't understand.My mum I lost to cancer I know how depressed I was to the point of committing suicide because we were so so close .

It's well.I don't even know what to say again sef.

Hmmmmm I can imagine. So sorry. Don't know if you remember the 2005 Dec. Sosoliso airline that only 2 people survived (ie Late Pastor Bimbo Odukoya's Personal Assistant and a student then Kelechi or so now in the US), now there was a woman who lost all her 3 children on that plane crash. Is now I know that that woman needs to be given a trophy. How in the world could she and her husband survive that trauma and went on the following year 2006 to give birth. Can't forget because newspaper carried the news that she has given birth and that child should be 18yrs now. Indeed this life is a mystery

descarado:
When I lost my child yrs back,I was semi mad but didn't know. I didn't cry. Was just wandering up and down our area cos it was so sudden and learnt afterwards that dh was following me from afar. People who know me will greet or hail, i didnt know, my husband will just give them sign from afar to leave me alone, how much more 4 kids. Living is useless na. Your mind will just go blank.

Lol

aswani:
Let me summarise governance for you.

It is made up of different ministries, each carrying out their work to the best of their knowledge and ability based on the budgets they have been given.

I believe IT in Lagos state government is under the Information Ministry, I might be wrong on that, they are spending monies allocated on what they have agreed would be beneficial to the state after a series of meetings.

That the average Lagos state indigene is suffering does not mean all government monies should be redirected into just one pot to alleviate that suffering.

Other relevant ministries are, I am sure, using their allocated budget to ensure they are doing their best to reduce poverty levels in the state.

Tinubu's Lagos state government brought in IT systems that ensured all the disparate systems being used by different Lagos state government agencies could talk to each other and were eventually homogenised (especially the ones to do with Salaries and Tax). They didn't do this when there was no suffering in Lagos.

Lol. If it is possible for Tinubu to rule more years than the 8 years provided in the constitution, I will prefer it and trust me I will vote for him. Because Nigerians loves suffering and will always have explanation to make on behalf of their incompetent leaders.
Don't worry I know your job is to keep explaining the failures of your pay master just to look right. You go explain tire.

Tareq1105:
The problem with people like you is you think you know it all whereas you don't know anything.

Do you know the number of information and opinions available at the desk of the president before he took this decision?

You think Tinubu is stupid? Definitely not. You think he doesn't want his govt to succeed? He wants to succeed. You think you have 10% of the information at his disposal? Definitely not.

What makes you think Tinubu hasn't looked through this your suggestion?

Tinubu have access to many options and he's determined to end farmers/herders clashes. We should please allow him to solve this problem in his own way. When next your preferred candidate gets there, he can change it to suit his own belief.

Like seriously. I am getting weak daily for this nation. Now I have concluded that APC is not a party but a satanic agenda under the disguise of a party.

Who in his right senses will do such thing when we have a Ministry of Agriculture? Is livestock not part of agriculture or was I misled by my teachers who taught me in secondary school?

Even if he wanted to create such, it should have been a Parastatal or a special department under Ministry of Agriculture.

Nairaland APC warriors till now does not know that they are being deceived with small change they give them while their pay masters siphon billions to their own account.

THIS NEW MINISTRY CREATED IS JUST TO KEEP WASTING THE NATION'S MONEY AND DRIVING THE COUNTRY INTO DEBT WHEN THE NEW MINIMUM WAGE TILL NOW NOTHING HAVE BEEN SAID IS A JUST THE FINAL CONFIRMATION THAT TINUBU AND HIS COHORTS DOES NOT MEAN WELL AT ALL FOR US. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ADMINISTRATION IS JUST TO TAKE AND KEEP TAKING FROM US UNTIL WE ARE LEFT DRY. HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN SURVIVE WITH A 3 SQUARE MEAL IN TODAY'S NIGERIA?

Quest7777:
Nairaland has been compromised. LIKES are now being manipulated or are for sale. When you see some robotic or foolish comments having many LIKES.

To the topic, Tinubu is just playing politics with lives of Nigerians.
We already have Ministry of Agriculture FGS. Maybe he should equally create Ministry of Spare Parts Development.

My problem now is that how is this news and achievement? Till now we choose to celebrate mediocrity as long as it can be used to oppress a different tribe and the leaders enjoy while the average tribalist keeps suffering and smiling.

Whether this development is in Lagos or south east, south south or northern state, I don't care. What I know is that this should not be listed as a whole state achievement at all.

We should begin to hold our leaders accountable to carry out meaningful and pro-masses initiatives. How does this help to alleviate the present condition of an average Lagos state indigene (not even non-indigene) who presently can not provide basic needs for his children?

Tribalism has reduced and eaten deep into so many people's brain here that they dump the bigger and more realistic picture but to pursue tribalism driven objectives just to ensure the other tribe suffers but in the real sense they are all suffering the same predicament together. Is that not stupidity?

You are right but if he was determined to steal the money, there are a several options that he would have used. Have you thought of the fact that he can send WhatsApp message or call that may not be easily traced back to a friend and make an arrangement with that friend to come asap to the ATM machine with some particular style of dressing? In other to cover up. But he is a good Man and I applaud his integrity.

richiemcgold:
I'm not playing down his integrity o, but if he had attempted to make away with the money, he could easily be busted by the cameras.

He has been posting for more than 2 yrs the same thingand if you chat him up you are on your own. He just changed moniker more than twice now that is why you think it is still recent.

united4men:
6 months you mean

Ok thanks so much.

Antoeni:
Ketu Mile 12 Market

Please where are you buying 1 tuber of yam for 1500? Show me road please. No normal size here is less than 3500. Yam wey dem dey start with 6500 to price before you beat it down.

Antoeni:
Better for Agbado miscreants to die in Ukraine fighting than to die for nothing under Tinubu.


1 liter of Fuel: 900 naira
1 cup of beans: 800 naira
1 cup of garri: 200 naira
1 cup of rice: 450 naira
1 tuber of yam: 1,500 naira
4 tomatoes: 600 naira
1kg of gas: 1,200 naira
5inches bread: 2,500 naira


How Agbado miscreants want survive without jobs.

170k? Na only light bill you come this life to do. So what happens to other utilities and monthly house expenses that the person needs to settle?
If by 2024 things are like this. I wonder how 2027 will be and how much band A will be paying.

I am really worried. The consequences of freedom and aje butter era will backfire so hard. Seriously I am worried. So many new generation parents have failed and are still failing.

Eriokanmi:
Bully here bully there , yen,yen,yen.

Our society is so rotten now. In my time a senior would ask me to go and pick my cutlass, he would take me to an open field and measure up to 100m portion for me to cut every morning before assembly. They would flog us with cane. You dare not report them

Nowadays, we keep sparing the rod and spoiling the child. The so-called bullying nowadays were a commonplace in those days. They only made us become a much stronger generation. In many schools,.you dare not beat a student nowadays. Nonsense! In remember the first time I toasted a girl as an SS2 student...heeey, my senior caught us, punished me like kilodee. He said, so you want to end your career at sec schl abi? You want to end up in a village with her after integrating her? I can't forget that day. The fear made me to not have time for girls till I gained admission, graduated and went for my nysc before I knew what's called gf. The punishment really shaped me up.

In 2016 @ Day waterman college where each student pays up to 5.3m naira per session, a student approached his teacher openly and wooed her, even promising to give her triple what the shool was paying her if she could allow him sleep with her. What bullying could be worse than that from a student to his teacher ? Yet, they couldn't do anything about it cos once the student reports to his parents that they're punishing him, they'd withdraw him and the school wouldn't want to lose money so they just ignored that.

Who born that student in our time? Na to flog am openly for assembly ground and call his parents to take him away. That would be his end in that school and it's environs. Today, the reverse is the case. I imagine what the next generation would look like.

Exactly. The mind is limited to the level you can stretch it. They refuse to their brain to work and expand their mind to possibilities.

Maryam070682557:
It's quiet unfortunate honestly
I wish they can open their eyes to so many opportunities in Nigeria instead of begging..

Sometimes I wonder how they felt begging because I just can't fathom.

For donkey years now on Nairaland. It has been the same story with hundreds of different account opened. If he/she is not cashing out steady here, they will not keep doing this here. It is quite unfortunate for this person and lineage.

Maryam070682557:
People will take you for a scammer with the way you're going about opening different accounts everyday to source for money..

I'm beginning to believe you're taking advantage of this poor boy to lure victims and that the said photos and stories are fabricated.Please stop if my instincts are right and find something meaningful to do, the country is blessed look for a hustle and pitch your tent and you'll see open doors of opportunities.
God bless you

What do you expect him to say? Do you want him to talk the truth now and they will stop his 30k monthly pay to write rubbish?

VULCAN:
Is that your weak response?

You guys should hold a meeting to agree for them to come and take off the light and stop the billing. It will not be easy but it may be worth it on the long run. Then start pushing for the prepaid meter aggressively. If not, they will bring a bill of 80,000 after 2 months and it keeps increasing. I am talking out of experience.

chucks185:
the house where i live in lagos, we have applied for prepaid meter since last year but haven't seen nothing till now,
they used to bring bill of 15k, but this time around the one brought is 50k despite the fact we didn't have light up to 4 days altogether last month.

This is the one I can't seem to wrap my head around. How can I buy a small yam 2.5k for one tuber and 3.5k for one big tuber. I left it and went for sweet potatoes. I am not a fan of both yam and sweet potatoes at all. I just buy it cos most times I need to as having food varieties

BABAawoo47:
Yam is now #2500 per tuber...

If you have free time for about 3 to 6 months go towards Lagos Island and search for all those big salons that is highly classy and expensive and see if they can employ you as an apprentice/errand guy so that you can use the opportunity to gain every experience you need for your own salon biz. I know your funds is not upto the millions they used to set up such kind of saloons but there is a reason why I would prefer you go there. This is because these types of saloons have alot going on like hair, nail, makeup, barbing, spa and beauty related products shop. So they have everything planned out and put in place for the business operations, process and management. You will see with your own eyes, experience and understand how to handle the business, customers and deal with hair stylists plus other staff. Because you see stylist, barbers, nail technician etc go use your eyes see shege and even run their own personal business from your own business. If you know that the first 1 year plus, you are not going to be physically present 24/7 for this business, you may have to reconsider changing your mind.
Would I advise you to go into this business now? Ehmmm... Not really. Why? Because the present Tinubu regime is not favorable and so women are looking for alternatives to save more on beauty related stuff. Women are now tilting towards DIY hair stuff with the help of YouTube. While most Men find it difficult to change their barbers once they are comfortable with the person. That's why you see a guy saying this has been with his barber for ten years.
For me, I would prefer real estate, stock etc investment this period than starting up a business in Nigeria.
Note that this is my opinion and it is not for you to act on them. Please take time and do your own research.

Slimslimqq:
hmmm.. thank you very much, I guess it's a business I have always fell in love with and I always promised to open one when I have the fundz. Now that I have the funds I feel like making the dream come true.

But is it advisable starting to learn barbing with my free time while the project is ongoing

The mother of this baby conscience is black. Others even try to wear their babies cloth and package them in a basket or thick blanket before dumping somewhere they can be found but this one just went and dumped the baby with no clothes at all. What if a scorpion, snake or something came and bit this child or even all these ritualist roaming about now.

All the people that left comment above me are just God's mouth piece for you. They gave you the exact truth without sugar coating anything even for free. Even if it's your twin that is going to manage this business I take God beg you. Don't venture into salon business if you don't have any experience like being a hair stylist yourself or a barber or worked for years in a big established beauty house. 'A close female relative's is the number one biggest error. Bringing family into business is as good setting up business for the family member.

Slimslimqq:
I already have a close female relative (hairdresser)who will be managing the business.just want to know if 2milliion can do the job

Even when I am trying to imagine it in my head, I will just have headache. Infact how can the kidnapper have the mind and take such risk to gather 287 human beings and keep them till now. I will say if this kidnappers succeed and they are not caught but finally cash out, then I will say this should be the biggest kidnapping hit in the history of Nigeria. Just imagine how much on each person's head multiplied by 287. If these guys are successful then I will finally give up on this country. I mean how did we get to this point? Private negotiator. Where is our security me in this country?

GanagiBitrus:
I am still trying to understand how possible it is to abduct a whole 287 human beings at once.

It's simply impossible to gather 287 persons in one place without detection.

Only possible explanation is that they have overrun our security forces & have complete territorial control of the areas they operate.
