Hi Nairalanders,

I will appreciate your candid advise on a business decision which I feel you may be of help to provide superior comments to enable me make informed decisions.

I am seriously considering setting up a business with the little money at my disposal. This decision has been a tough one in view of the fact that, I once set up a hair dressing saloon and recharge card/phone shop in the past but the business couldn't survive due poor management by my workers among other reasons.

I know this is not a very good time for importation or international business, however, I would like to start travelling to Dubai to buy jewelleries and sell. Part of what is driving this, is due to the nature of my work which entails meeting top government functionaries on a day to day basis. I want to use the network I have built over the years as my target. This means that I have a good client base considering their status and ability to patronize me. I am on paid employment and therefore do not have time for businesses that require 100% supervision. Based on the foregoing, I want to know how profitable the business is, the intricacies, the best approach to use for such a business and any other advise that can help a sister in this circumstance.

Secondly, following the collapse of my hair dressing saloon, I was strongly advised by friends to try barbing saloon which if run on commission basis will yield income and remain sustainable. But I am afraid to venture into this business because I don't want to loose money again especially, in this hard times.

Nonetheless, I have a strong conviction that gold selling if well coached will help a great deal to increase my financial base over time.

The following are the objectives of this starting a business:
1. to make additional income other than my monthly salary
2. to increase the money at hand rather than leave it in the bank without any attractive margin
3. sustainability
4. profitability

I await your comments, suggestions, opinions etc.

Thank you.

Barbers salon can be cited anywhere and that's an unrivalled advantage. Jewelry business requires grade A security which requires insurance. One burglary and it's all over.

Don't curse him. I once was like him, and i didn't realise that it was the justification of my indulgence and my rational thinking of the unfairness of life that were my driving force. It's difficult to free oneself by oneself from reprobation (Romans 1:28).

Today I'm a believer. I had no preacher preached to me and i had no Bible i read in the secret. I wasn't even a Christian, but a divine encounter changed everything. Problems never brought me to the light of Christ, so don't wish Seun evil.

All he needs is a spiritual encounter. Saul (Apostle Paul) was not only an atheist, he took atheism to the extreme by annihilating Christians (Acts 7:58), but a special encounter changed everything (Acts 9:3).

Seun, my name sake has a tool he's wrongly applying and that's how it should begin sometimes.

On a final note, I always tell people that 'when a man has nothing more to live for he tends to live more responsibly'. Seun is still a young man.

Sure? That figure is damn too high

Snakes have the strongest digestive chemicals. If a fully dressed human is swallowed whole, all that he's wearing; metals, beads, rubbers, bones, teeth clothing, shoes and even hairs will be fully digested and passed out as semi solid waste.

My former boss did that to his tenant in Abuja. He was sued; paid heavily for damages. The woman spent extra 2yrs before she moved. Be warned!

i tried so hard not to cringe

they are just turning her into someone she is not.

she just going along with the bullshit because she want a better life for her self

I'm buying your cråp only if you're not going along with your miserable earning because you want a better life for yourself.

Bring it on and let me expose you a little more...and then the more...and then...

Let's see if you'll still remain on the platform.

See the farm implements recovered from peasant farmers labelled terrorists.

Shame! Police live up. Those things you displayed were as new as "purchased today".

You are blessed.

99% of so-called Yoruba billionaires made their money from Niger Delta oil. From Adenuga to Otedola to Obat to Tinubus/Oando to Alakija to Folawiyo to many more; virtually all of them from Niger Delta oil. Niger Delta people...You see why they love One Nigeria so much!

There are Niger Deltans with oil blocks, and they are billionaires so to say. But they have a common dillema: no diversification, no backyard investments, no charity. Worst of all, no cultural unity to help. I have lived there so I know them well.

A government policy can make a citizen a billionaire without the president knowing he has unintentionally done so.

You are a smart nigga. Obasanjo's waiver on importation made Dangote Africa's richest.

What's the title of the movie

your head dey there!

1. Static/stagnant income
2. Job becomes a routine, no room for improvement.
3. Family business where wife and children call the shot.
4. Conspirators and antagonists within. You're not valued.
5. No time for the immediate family (and religious fellowship by extension)

It was my first tym on a date . I asked her out and she agreed. We went to a nearby park for a chat. I searched in my pocket its only a hundred naira note I got . I knew i had to buy us something. As a man I gats make a plan. I told her to wait for me when I went to buy us drinks.With my hundred naira note. I bought only 1fanta can. I took an empty sprite can and poured water direct from the tap. I went back to my lady .A smile appeared on her face as she said... "Oh my lovely man how could u know that sprite is my favorite..I hate fanta... Hahahaha wettin u for do if na u

So easy, tell her it's anti-diabetes sprite...that it contains monochlorophlorus acetone-aqua, it's tasteless and odourless.

His numbers are 08031983606, 09091086548.

Realising I have been scammed, I digged and found out his Facebook page but he deactivated and reactivated it again after a while but with restriction.

Another photo of him.

See, if the police really want to get him it's very easy. They have his BVN, They will dig the record of all calls he has made and received in the last 6 months and pick out 10 most dialed numbers. They will contact those people in a very subtle operation that nobody will suspect anything, and then get them to lead them to him.

Unfortunately for you, the money is too small for the police to take a big cut after a successful arrest.

In Abuja, I followed as the police swoomed on a thief through a girlfriend he normally called by engaging the girl to arrange a usual meeting between her and him.

The guy is already vulnerable, his image dented, his future fraudulent operations in that name, number and bank account smeared. He cant have another fingerprint taken for a new BVN. I think you have destroyed him enough. He should just return your money and apologise.

What is "Department of Australia?!"

Fake account.

Saboteurs everywhere.

Don't worry, you'll be fine
There are principles of making and keeping wealth.
If you follow them, you'll most probably be wealthy.
By the way, countless people are not Christians, and obviously don't give offerings in churches but are still wealthy.

Someone just broke some of the principles of success by misapplication, misrepresentation and deceit, and you are assuring him of what not. I just feel sorry for the deceived and the deceiver.

Do you know that it is unnatural for a man to see an attractive woman and not stare at her, married or not...pastor or pagan. It is with exercising of self-discipline that we try to just glance with caution whether or not wife is beside...whatever wife is wearing not withstanding.

REASONS WHY PEOPLE EXIT SOCIAL MEDIA GROUP.

I go straight to the point.

1. Derailment of purpose of the group.
2. Too many pop-ups and alerts. Some are easily annoyed.
3. Limited data to cater for only prioritised online matters.
4. Forced joining.
5. Undefined purpose or aim of group.
6. Contrary faith, view and social stance.
7. Redundancy. No more feed.
8. Creator not charismatic or is high handed.
9. Nuisance of member(s).
10. Witting desire to upset or express anger to another.
11. Condition of relocation, change or conversion.
12. Vulgarity. Uncultured use of words even in the context of group’s objectives.
13. Vivid expression of superiority among members.
14. Concealed personal gain at others’ expense.
15. Copycat conception: others are leaving...I leave.
16. Loss of privacy.
17. Frivolity. Loss of initial heat of seriousness even though there’s no derailment.
18. Expression and encouragement of sheer disobedience to governing laws.
19. Loss of device or SIM card.
20. No reason(s)
21. Tragedy.
22. Exit of the big fish.
23. Infringement.
24. Phobia. Some are disgusted or sickened by sight of some kinds of images.

OK

We take these terms seriously.

Afonjas are yorubas
Zombies are notherners hausas
Ipob aka flat head are igbos

So there you have it

I'm afonja

Meaning please. I only know these half fulani half yoruba people in Ilorin Kwara State are known as afonja. How does that describe the whole yoruba?

abokibuhari:
the only courageous son of afonja alive after the great ffk , may God keep you to fight more battles for the Yoruba nation. fayose is indeed a great man

What is 'afonja'?!

I have been seeing it used by the Igbos especially to refer to Yorubas I guess.

Please what does it mean. Because if a bona fide Yoruba doesn't know, I guess who does.

Or is it just a figment of your imagination?

I wonder when Tinubu whose Oriental Hotel in Victoria Island in Lagos is more expensive will be probed. Check out the hotel:

Who told you that Tinubu owns Oriental Hotel?!
Novice of the 21st Century.
The Hotel is owned in parts by two people: A Chinese investor and the Alli family. Because they hanged Tinubu's photograph there made the lies to fester.

Dumb post from zombie, Mack came without notice

The presidency is FULLY aware and the entire security apparatus of this country are ALERT.

It's part of the security gimmicks to keep a low profile.

Get it? Well if you don't...

I'm so sorry to hear this. It's the worst thing in the world to loose a child

Was the child 'tied' down?!

It's "lose" in this context, not "loose"

loose is the opposite of tie
lose is the opposite of gain.

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested a suspected impersonator posing as the former Executive Chairman of the Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde.

The suspect, Promise Tochi Nwalozie was arrested in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, in a sting operation that yielded the arrest of six other internet fraudsters. One of the fraudsters, Onukagba Uche Prosper, is a youth corps member serving in the Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State.

Nwalozie was using the identity of Lamorde to send scam mails to foreigners, mostly Europeans and Americans and in the process extorted sizeable amount of foreign currencies from them. His weapon of fraudulent interaction with his victims was a fake electronic copy of the identity card of the former EFCC's boss. Besides, he was also posing as Barrister Peter Jackson, a spurious lawyer working with the National Judicial Council, NJC in Nigeria. As a lawyer, he was defrauding his victims by assuring them that he would help in the recovery of money lost to different Nigerian cyber fraudsters. To do this, Jackson was collecting various sums of money as service charges from his victims. Some of his victims are: Betty. G. E, an American and Georgina M, an Australian.

In addition to all these, Nwalozie had multifarious electronic scam documents in various folders in his e-mail box, ostensibly for the payment of a spurious N12,500,000.00( Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand Naira only) to one Robert Giese, an American, by the "Office of the Presidency, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Abuja". To further deceive Giese, he swore to a fictitious " Affidavit Of Claim of Federal High Court of Nigeria" deposed to by a fake Justice Ibrahim Auta, OFR, on behalf of Giese. The "Affidavit" was signed by a former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke. To achieve his fraudulent schemes, he had several e-mail addresses such as:sirpeterjackson@gmail.com,promisenwalozie@gmail.com, bigenoughforcare@gmail.com among others.

Aside Prosper, (youth corps member), five other internet scammers were arrested in the sting operation and they are: Onuoha Akachukwu Danhessy; Ohaji Ujunwa Raymond, a.k.a Francis Ray Emar; Henry Onyebuchi Ogbonna; Eboh Emeka Emmanuel and Nwaorgu Chidi Precious. Prosper was involved in online dating scam, also known as romance scam. Through the scam, he defrauded unsuspecting foreign widows, mostly from Europe and America. His scam identity was Mark Fest, a United States soldier serving in Bulgaria. To perfect his fraudulent schemes, he secured a " business relationship" with one of the arrested fraudsters, Onuoha Akachukwu Danhessy, his cousin.

Danhessy was serving as an intermediary between him and one H. Macaulay, a Nigerian undergraduate at the Medical University, Varna, Bulgaria who was assisting him to collect and send proceeds of their criminality to Nigeria, through Western Union and Money Gram money . All the three victims of Prosper are Philippinos: Ivy P. S, ( $2,000); Mel R.( 800 Pound Sterling) and Lolita T. Danhessy has other ingenious schemes to his credit. In his romance scam, he had reportedly raked in a total sum of $50,000( Fifty Thousand United States Dollar) from Maria J. Al, an American that he promised to marry.

Ohaji Ujunwa Raymond a.k.a Francis Ray Emar is another suspected impersonator who was sending scam e-mails to his victims in Europe and America in the name of Abubakar Malami (SAN), Attorney General and Minister of Justice and Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, Minister of Finance. One of his victims, Georgina M, an Australian, lost $1,500( One Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars) to him. Other suspected scammers are Henry Onyebuchi Ogbonna, a member of a syndicate serving as a cashier to his group members, Eboh Emeka Emmanuel, another romance scammer that duped a Dubai- based Philippino: E. F. Aquino of N500,000( Five Hundred Thousand Naira only) and Nwaorgu Chidi Precious, another accessory to romance scam and cashier to Nwalozie.

All the suspects are in EFCC custody and would be charged to court soon.

India government are hypocrite, despite the fact that these set of people are the one that developed New Dehli, Mumbai, Calcutta, Goa and Hydrerbad.

In fact, they owned 75.54% and 90.56% of properties in Mumbai and Calcutta respectively.

They still labelled them as drug traffickers.

Shame
