If you frequently search for local businesses in Nigeria, you must have been redirected to vconnect from google or by word of mouth at one point or the other and yes they have grown to become the largest search and directory database in Nigeria since 2011.

Interestingly I visited the Vconnect towards the end of October and found that the entire site has been transformed into an ecommerce platform and in the 1st week of November, Vconnect broke the internet with users giving out different opinion on why Vconnect made the switch.

I did not made the search because I thought the search part has been wiped off and so I thought I should bring their Cofounder on the Break Digit Show to talk about what happened.

Speaking on the show, Mr. Rustagi took us back to what led the team to start Vconnect, the objective of the business and the success story, when asked why they decided to venture into ecommerce, Mr. D as he is fondly called noted that ecommerce thing didn’t just surface, he said “Every business when they start they have an objective, the objective that we have for vconnect was not search, the objective was to connect buyers to sellers and that’s why the name vconnect, that is how we have planned it from the beginning” he went further to say that they started from search because they wanted to give the businesses visibility first before going on to sell their products.

The Cofounder of Vconnect also said that they are working on expanding to other region in the country and currently recruiting for several positions.

I visited their office after the interview and was surprise to see the beautiful, large space and staff count of over 100 people.
It was an inspirational chat that we had, tune in.

I think this is more of a testimony thread although you never mentioned the source of your academics and career/business breakthrough so that we can join you to Praise God.

commitcrime:
Place a curse on him

so surprise o, cant even understand sef

Lucialovely:
What's his business with your life? Beware of monitoring spirits in human form

I grow up with my sister who is married to this man.
While in their house, He and his sisters, whom i served like housegirl will mock me, telling me that i have no future and that no man will marry me and if a wheelbarrow pusher wants me for free they will give me out in a hurry, they will laugh at me while im busy either serving them food or cleaning their legs, and dont bother asking why my sister allowed them do that, we came from a very poor family, they thought they did my sister a favor by marrying her, he has no voice in the home, the siblings inlaws (especially the ladies) ruled and controlled her.

Thankfully he was sending me to scondary school though, before i could even get to SS1 their people started a quarel that i should leave the house, that they didnt marry me together with my sister, they throw me out and as God will have it, long story short, God opened the way and i went to university and had a good job and lived in Lagos.

While they were still in doubt of how i could go to university, i sponsored all my siblings, both elder and junior 3 of them to the university outside the country, even my sister that married their brother, i setup a shop for her and she is very okay even more than the husband now.

I have not had time to visit them in a very long time now, i only hear about them and they only see me on facebook.

By the way let me do a little olofofo here, all of them that use to abuse me that i dont have a future and that i wont find a husband to marry, they are now married to the wheelbarrow pusher and brick layer they wish me o, seriously, i cant fathom out how things went that way cos they were very okay and fine girls.

Back to the gist, there was a man who asked me to marry him, because seriously have over worked myself and hardly have time for relationship thing, i had to tel my elder sister to help me check and see if the guy is okay (please dont get me wrong, im not just into men).

I had a long vacation this november and my sister begged that i should not go to paris whom have already secured visa to travel to that i should come home.

I decided to honour her, went to stay with her, buy alot of stuffs for the kids, take them round the resort, i behaved well, infact i was like their house girl, wash, clean, bath the kids take them to and fro school etc.

Last week i returned to my base in lagos and work don start na... only to receive a call today from my brother inlaw, he called with unknown number sef, i was like who is this he mentioned his name in full.

I was like, oh sir good afternoon, the next thing i heard was, i am very angry at you, i do not know what you think you are, so you are getting married and you did not dim it fit to inform me as your inlaw, you are very stupid, i do not even know why God favor people like you, you may have money but people are the wealth of these world, who are you to look down on me by not informing me of your wedding, because you have stupid money, infact i cannot even remember all the things he said but they were abusive.

I called my sister this afternoon just to know if there was any quarrel in the house but she didn't tell me there was any problem because if there was she would have told me, i asked her if she told the husband about me getting married, she told me the husband heard us while we were still discussing the man who is asking me to marry him, and so he asked her is your sister getting married and my sister said maybe, i think so and that was all.

I refuse to let my sister know all he said cos if my sister get to know, she will take it too serious and it might cause them problems in the marriage.

But i am asking myself, why is this man like this after all this years, after i forgave all the maltreatment and insulted he and his family dose out on our family then when i was a kid, infact i forgave and forget like nothing ever happened, i take his kids like mine because really they are, all of them have laptops and numerous text books from me, during the one month i stayed with them i humble myself intentionally, i take permission from them before going anywhere, i did all the house chores, the said marriage he is even talking about i have not told the man, yes i will marry you, i am still even thinking.

one will think that this man will repent and just thank God for me, why is he just hating

Hello,

I am writing with tears in my heart.

I have been working for straight up over 2 years without any rest or leave.

Everyone in my office goes on leave but my boss will not grant me leave.

I didnt go for any leave last year, we kept on postponing and now this year we started postponing my leave since June.

I wanted to go on June, he said he himself will be on leave and cannot grant me leave when he is away.

I applied for August he said he will just return from his and needs time to relax before i can go on leave.

I applied september he said there is a project he wants me to do in october which i must wait to finish after which he will let me go.

Now i have finished all the project he labelled out for me in october and i applied for my leave this November but he said except there is any health issue i need to go and sort out that he will not grant my leave.

I know the best thing is to resign but while i look for other way for my career.

Is there a doctor that can help me with some reports i can present to at least have a rest, i am wearing off.

Dear House.

On my birthday I was given the Canon 700D DSLR camera.

I have seen different reviews online about the camera which made me believed that it is a very good photo and video tool.

Is there anyone here who can teach me to use the camera please.

Regards

Is there anyone that can help me dye that part to blue?

Please I really like the dress can cannot just do away with it.

Dear NLers

I am in a no sex relationship with this amazing young man, he is cool and has everything I wanted in a man.

Apart from him, have always been in a no sex relationship, the last man I dated, who died in the ill fated Dana Air crash was also in a no sex relationship with me but he was more vibrant emotionally, like he will hug me tight, hold me and look into my eyes, roll his hands over me and kisses me too and sometimes I notice he will be so turn on, just that we have decided we want to wait and sometimes he will say baby i'm so turn on but I can handle it.

Now the issue I have with this one I am dating now is, he will not do any of that, all he does is look at me passionately, and if he must touch me, he will just hold my hands and play with my fingers, he can stare at me the whole day and gist with me, but I have never seen him at the point where he was turn on, whether in his face or actions, he is just there.

I know he is God fearing and can afford not to be turn on, but I am so scared, have slept in his house before, we were just like blood siblings, cook together eat and off he went to his room, no emotions or maybe a kiss to say good night and stuff, it was so neutral I feared he might not like sex or romance at all or maybe he is not all right.

Sometimes I want to bring up gist like, how far did you go with your ex, what is the most naughty thing you have done in a relationship or for love, and he will go like... I came back from work, I didn't have a car then, so I trek all the way to her house to cook for her.

And I ask, what's your most memorable sex experience, and he replied baby good night, this is not you so don't bring up the fake self, you've been talking too much to your girl friends lately I guess.

How do I get to know all these about him, have starved myself enough of sex to please God, and to be a good girl my mother asked me to be and cannot "CANNOT" and will not be able to stand a slow or bad sex experiences in marriage, the thought of this is driving me crazy

She did went through hell bringing us up though, you know and I admire and respect that, which is why I make sure I give her everything she wants, infact sometimes I buy her clothes and she will complain they are too much and that they are too expensive things she cant even wear hmm... the part of talking to her is the one I do not know as I am not so into her like my othr siblings, all I do is send her money, talk about neutral things and that's all

Mindfulness:
@nlfan

It seems that your mother went through a lot having to raise you and your siblings all by herself. It seems that it has taken a toll on her. She probably does not want what she went through to repeat itself. She is probably tired and panics. I don't know. Talk to her. If it doesn't work. Try to give her some sense of security so that she knows that she doesn't have to worry anymore.

She doesn't even want me to come to the village, I remember when I went for some conference in my state and I was in the hotel in town, I called her and she said please I should not dare come that she will be coming to the hotel to meet me, that I don't know this village people are so wicked lol

Richy4:
Take a trip to the village. Look exceptionally charming.armed with the kind of gifts that she like.

Before you retire for the night, tell her you want to talk to her.

Calmly take your time and narrate how sweet she was when you people were growing up. Give some examples of how sweet she was.

Then bring her to the present. Ask her what really changed? What I say here could be implemented by a good talker. What ever her fear was reaffirm your promise to her financially.

Good luck.

No insult na... we deliberating how we can help make this better you just came in with this

scooby12:
E be like say ur mama don dey kolo small small.. no offense..
You go try take her to psychiatric..

I'm a lady o, and I will not allow her take this attitude near my husband, I actually keep her far from the people in my life, I don't let her in

Blade21:
Get ready oo cos dis is just de beginining she's feeling inssecured like aftter labouring 4 u now u have money u want to start helping others nd she's going to take dis attitude. To ur wife seeing her as a pontential threat u better be careful love ur mum but always. Put her in her place wen she misbehaves God will Help u peace

I pray this should not be her true color o, why so much hate and naughty attitude now that she should be loving and caring, enjoying the grace of God

Ab025:
#These true colours of ur mum is not pleasing to even me self... Just pray harder for God's intervention

hahahahaha You want her to faint ni...

winetapper:
Pretend like you don't have more money she would become humble again

I tried talking to her but she will not listen, like the issue of the house girl, I called her aside and said, see children makes mistake, do not use all your energy to scream at her so you wont fall sick, if she is not okay for you then lets send her back and get another girl for you, she said no, okay try to control this screaming and shouting on top of your voice na, immediately I finished saying that, she met the girl playing inside my car, she started screaming again, she is just hating on everyone around, if I give to someone, she talks, if I do this she talks, I mean whats happening

ladyF:
maybe u should talk to her about it, she's probably doing that unconsciously.

Fellow Nairalanders.

I am in a terrible state concerning my mom's action of late.

To give you a brief intro into where I am coming from, my mom is a widow and she tried her best to cater for us when we were kids even though she couldn't train us to university level but she tried to lift us to secondary level.

I came to Lagos after my secondary education and as God would have it, with lots of huzzle I was able to complete my university and now gainfully employed.

Ever since God blessed me with a job, I have been paying my mom salary that will help to cater for her and provide everything she need as God will help me, have had my other siblings complain about my mom over the years but I always over looked it, thinking they are being too hard.

Now growing up, my mom was a good woman and all giving mother so I still remember all that.

But what dragged me into writing this piece is that, this year we usually have an annual church program in lagos that attract worshipers from across the country and my mom doesn't miss that camp for nothing.

When she came, I shopped for all her needs and also gave her money she will use through out, but the first shocker I got was when I saw my mom's house girl in the church, the first sunday of camp, she looked so un-kept and retared, I look at her shoe and she had slippers that has hoes underneath, I almost fainted, I knew my mom to be a lovely person who usually take care of people's children, what will then make her not buy shoe for her house girl.

I went out of church service with shame that day and took the girl to the hostel where she was lodging with my mom, I dress simple and was about to make my way out when my mom returns, asking where I am taking the house girl too, I told her I want to buy her shoe that I am not happy with the shoe she is wearing, she started saying I should not that she will buy her shoe later, she talked and convince me that she will buy shoe for the girl, I gave her money instead and a week later I did not still find any shoe with the girl until I moved out to buy the shoe myself.

The next time, I had brought some of my old hats for one of my aunty (even though the aunty doesn't deserve a gift from me) but she has begged me for it and I promise I was going to give her, the next thing my mom was so angry that I gave her the that, saying why should I give her all that hat, I told her I don't need them that I have new ones and may never need any of those again, I started to suspect her actions but I was still calm.

The third incidence, I notice she was not calm and loving as usual, she was screaming ontop of her voice with the house girl, I know this house girls are funny but my mom was able to deal with us when we were kids in better manner than the outburst and screams, I felt terrified each time I was with her because I was frequently hearing screams even though I do advise her to take things easy with the girl that kids do make mistakes and only needs to be talked to calmly but she will not hear, she kept on screaming so I left her.

The last incidence that made me feel like my mom have changed totally was when the program was about to end, I had this deal that suddenly came up, it was a very good deal that will make my future brighter, my boss discussed it in the office and I thought of joining hands to do it with my colleagues, so I emptied my account for the deal and it was all good, I explained to my mom what deal I have done and that I will not have enough money to give her to go back but that I will send money to her 4 days after she has arrived village, as I was expecting salary in 4 days time, I just gave her 10k to manage till I sent her money 4 days later.

Immediately my mom heard that I said no money, she started getting angry with all of us, complaining of everything, beating my nephew that was with us at intervals, shouting and screaming at nothing really, when I got outside my sister told me she was just saying all sort of things I am even ashame to disclose, but my fear now is, she has not always been like this when I was a child, she was a loving mother, what would have made her change suddenly to this type of woman I do cannot understand anymore.
