gretblue: She said could not feed her own mouth talkless of feeding the baby. But she still went ahead to make the baby where CD of N100 could have saved the day. Sister, call a spade a spade , there is no single justification for her actions. She's purely a greedy fellow influenced by making quick money from the sale of the baby. If she has not been caught, definitely she will make another baby ,so she can continue to make quick cash. Simple
at the bolded, that assumption of yours was far fetched and simply stupid.
Frankly, I think the girl did the right thing, in the circumstances. She made the mistake of getting pregnant. The deed was already done. She has 2 choices, either to abort it or to keep it. If she keeps it, she can't cater for it. So she made the only fair choice, give it out to someone to cater for it. It is illegal to collect money for doing so. But let's be pragmatic here. That is the best decision in her circumstances
Made4naijalove: A video has captured a couple from Abiriba, Abia state, fighting over $300 in the presence of their little children, including a newborn.
The woman recently had a child via ceserean section and mentioned it as she dared her husband to beat her after he threatened to.
The fight turned physical at some point and the children observed it all, with the toddler crying as her parents fought.
definitely UK, US or Canada. I notice that most migrant families in these countries have their relationships stressed a lot. The pent up frustration is just too much. I probably has to of with the economic difficulties they face in everyday life, the problem of adjusting to a new way of life and the feeling of being caged in.
Honor10: Nigerians must learn to live with this virus, lockdown is not working and it can't work.
Am sorry to say, this covid is not going anytime soon, the better we think of another way outside lockdown, the better for us.
To those of you shouting lockdown. Consider this:
1. We just finish a month lockdown, and with this, so many people have lost their job, many business has fold up etc. Those business that are struggling to come back now, what wil happen to them, if we go back to lockdown.
2. Do u really think the Lockdown can be effective with no palliatives? Thier is no way u can keep people at home without food, most people survive with daily hustle, u can't feed them, yet u tie them.
3. One million boys, awawa boys etc wil come back with full force, then everyone will start keeping vigils, no food, no sleep, when will death we are running away from,won't eventually come?
4. I am sure the number of cases won't decrease with lockdown, this I am sure of, we will lose the economy, and increase number of confirm cases, double loss.
Everybody should protect themselves, wear face mast, use sanitizer/wash your hands, avoided crowded area and take other precautionary measures. Learn to live with the virus.
jethro2: You should learn some manners of approach. It's ethical
And by the way you sound like a frustrated farmer
Aunty, I know ur antecedents on nairaland so I won't oblige u.
Please note that my statement was not meant to be an insult. If everyone decides to buy and resell agricultural produce, then who will do the farming of what they are to buy?
Do not discourage would be farmers with such comments, even though I must admit that u are partially right. sometimes (unfortunately too) it is true that middlemen make much more than the farmer.
MyMouth: Hmmmmmmmmm, they may have broken the law no doubt but to auction their trailer and cows, that one na another story, most of these cows belong to VIPs. Them go still settle themselves.
wait oooo!!! Which kind of lockdown will prohibit movement of food items? Is that not plain crazy?
Dantepet3000: First and foremost most girls don't realize that most men spend more than they earn. All in a bid to enhance affection towards them.
I dated her for two years until that faithful day she found my salary voucher on my bed. Tho I do other side hustlE that enabled me pay her bills.
I've always known that when she discovers the amount I earn in my company, she will be scared of the future between us. I remember the days in shoprite that I was only able to afford bread. Oh my God, I don suffer. Anyway I had plans for us despite my 45k salary of an MSC holder. There is no financial hole I did not help her block. Infact I did what guys who earn more than me couldn't do.
She started misbehaving towards me ever since she saw that pay cheque. What she didn't know was that I did not use my other professional qualification in the company and when she left me.
I decided to forward other qualification to our management. Like play like play my salary rose to 75k after 3months 100k after 6 months 120k, now I am a site manager and I earn 360k. I believe the whole graduates in her family don't earn what I now earn combined. I am not proud or beefing anyone. Am just reminiscing. By the special grace of God I will even go higher...
PS. Now I am spending my money on my mum and family. I thank God for another chance. Bless
congrats. Reminds me of my babe that left me the very week I lost my bank Job. Tried to make a comeback when I landed and FG job few months later. I chop am clean mouth.
She ended up marrying a guy who treats her like shit.
DeLaRue: Agree. Farmers work extremely hard, but the reward is rarely commensurate. If you do well this and next year, all those gains can be wiped out in year 3. Farmers are the least rewarded in the agricultural chain.
The market is very unfair to farmers. Middlemen & women and retailers make all the money.
problem is, without the farmer, the middle men are out of business. Don't discourage farmers.
Smart farmers will gradually learn to bypass the middle men and make more money
No,I humbly disagree. Manufacturers all around the world buy products from farmers all the time,you know what you lack? Wanna know? Ok I'll tell you. It's simply capacity. Let's say you have more money and resources,let me start pointing out where you'll get the breathing space you so desire; 1)purchasing power; Let's say you have enough money to buy 100,000tons at a go,do you think you'll still buy 1ton for 180k? Hell no,you can have the audacity to tell the farmer that it's either 90k per ton or he go bleeps his mama while you humbly go and import from outside. 2)logistics; It cost you 10-16k/ton to transport because you buy small small. If you buy good quantity like I stipulated,you'll get to need bigger vessels or truck for haulage which when you fill to the brim and press calculator,you'll find out that it will cost like 3-5k/ton to transport because you now load more product per unit area. 3)Storage; If you have money and capacity,you'll be able to build silos to store grains so that at time of scarcity,you'll have grains you had stored that will last you through the scarcity period. You'll get to make money from hiking selling price due to scarcity even though you bought raw material at normal price,thereby maximising profit. 4)output capacity; Imagine you have bigger machines that can handle more volume and push out more output per unit time,that is the same time and almost the same resources you use now to produce small small quantity will be used to bring out bigger output,that is you now get more jugs or kegs of oil on almost the same resource used to produce those small small ones you use to produce. That further drives production cost down and gives you more room for profit or for you to be more competitive. Imagine that... Packaging; Imagine you have capacity to buy 100,000 empty jugs at a go. Will you still patronise iya big nyarsh that sell close to you with the small son at her shop with catarrh on his nose all the time? Remember she always have small quantity available sef and by so her price will be very high. Nah.... You'll now buy from the company direct at a very good price and they'll handle the logistics for you sef to your doorstep. Also,imagine what will happen to your sales? It will skyrocket,because you are competitive with good product and can give you the ability to drop price more and still be profitable because your sales is very high,even if you make 200 naira per jug,you multiply by your quantity or output or selling power and you smile. Ownership of logistics; Imagine you no longer hire transport but own them? You know what that means?it now cost you less to haul product from point A to B. That is still driving production cost down and giving room for profit or competitiveness. Automation; Imagine you get enough capital to buy modern automated machines? It means you'll higher less labour,spend less per unit time or output,that is you get to save money on labour hire while machine handles all what those expendable humans use to do? You make more money and remain very competitive. In fact they are so plenty I can't list all. Note; There is no such thing as bad business,you just don't have enough money to run it optimally or enough strategy for it to be profitable. Finish!
oya now that you are done with all the big grammar, what is the solution?
Since he does not have capacity like u said, can u give him the capacity?
He is talking about how to approach his expansion plans from another perspective (vertical integration) and u are here talking big money that he does not have and which u cannot give.
This thread has outlived it's usefulness. I think it should be closed.
I just visited again after over 6 months. All recent post are full of useless adverts. Business plans, poultry training, egg purchase and all other nonsense.
DavSagacity: What about the Chinese Doctors they imported from China. where are they.?. Boss Mustapha should send them to Kano state now. Haba.!!
if u think those Chinese were imported to treat you and me, then u need to think again. The doctors are reserved to treat Buhari and his cabal in case they catch the virus
ChristineC: inhumanity. does the lock down feel like a break or imprisonment?
those asking me questions, I guess you guys spend your work breaks collapsed in your chairs all through. if this feels like a break to you, then I can only SMH at your lifestyle
some others make plans, you know, like travel. ever heard of that?
Na because u get money to travel Na. Ever heard of millions of Nigerians who work so hard but can't afford a trip to Thier village?
Kobojunkie: Does the state at least have a record of how many people have actually died within the month in that state? How many deaths are in question here? And why not exume the bodies( assuming no cremations) and autopsy them to confirm?
The year is 2020 but in Nigeria, still sounds like, it is still the mid 1900s.
I think it is against Islamic teachings. Same reason why they opted for verbal autopsy, because they can't wait for a proper autopsy before burial
Prompto: As expected of every Igbo, who told you Buhari was ever involved in any coup ? Did you not read from your history book Babagida Danjuma orchestrated the coup n only handed power to him as the most senior officer just like you described for the bastard that truncated Nigeria democracy but out of bigotry you'd rather believe that of Aguiyi Ironsi but not that of Buhari.
I hail you bigots. A shameless on at that.
Oga, even military records, prepared by the northerners, submit that JTU Aguiyi Ironsi was not part of the coup. I however admit that he survived the coup for same reason ZIK and Nwafor Orizu survived (because he was Igbo). But the actual planning and execution of the coup had nothing to do with him. I will also point out that his actions after the coup and his handling of the arrested coup plotters was what made him look complicit.
wirinet: Nigeria is cursed with dumb populace. It explains why we are in poverty in the midst of plenty. Nigerians are the only people that will curse you if you give an honest advice, but is negative. If you advice a Nigerian to take a certain action to prevent failure, poverty or death, he will curse you and your father, and end it with God forbid and "I reject it in God's name", but when tragedy happens, he looks for someone else to blame.
If a woman advice his husband to write a while, take a life insurance policy or prepare for any eventuality, they would brand her a witch that is planning to kill her husband.
If you tell your your friend who is living large today to save for tomorrow, because the source of money might dwindle or stop tomorrow, he will hate you and say you wish him evil.
This is the terrible nature of the Nigerian, the inability to think and plan tomorrow.
A woman, who had done tremendous work in Africa. A woman who along with her husband is responsible for eliminating polio from Africa, and a woman has shown concern for Africa is giving advice to Africa, based on what she saw in Ecuador. Instead of us to disagree with her politely, we are supporting a known drug addict and a serial womaniser, who had never done any charitable thing in his life to demonise her.
She has a point. The fatality rate in Nigeria so far is about 3%. Out of about 300 people confirmed infested with the virus, 10 are dead. Imagine the number of death if up to a million people are infected. That would be 300,000 thousand.
Even the the Trump administration is using a projected figure of between 100,000 to 200,000 deaths as a best case scenario. West case scenario is between 1 million to 1.2 million deaths.
at the bolded, Ur mathematics is wrong. If we have a million infections, we will expect 30,000 deaths, not 300,000
Shattuck: Nigerians can be ignorant sha, people speaking from a religious perspective,what she said is factual based on the quality of our healthcare,and the level of development and corruption,your problem is not Melinda gate but your corrupt govt.Nigerians after almost 60years of slavery and oppression still do not know the source of their problem
God bless u for this common sense. And FFK was part of the government that brought us into this mess. I hate his hypocrisy. I can strangle him and folks like OBJ with my bare hands
honeyB2018: Am not a Femi Fani Kayode fan,but going through your thread on what Mrs Melinda Gates said, there is no differences between what she said in reference to o Ecuador and African and what FFK said. When she said I see in Africa, what I saw in Ecuador, what was that supposed to be? What did she see in Ecuador, was it not death?
FFK quoted her out of context, to get the desired effect.
Look at the 2 statement. Wisdom is profitable to direct.
unite4real: The Osun State border should be heavily cordoned and all neighbouring states should restrict entry from Osun. Those guys have mission to accomplish. All the way from Ivory Coast, they have the virus and on a mission to launch in Nigeria
something is fishy here. I am willing to bet that those guys were probably not infected. Someone used Thier case to cash out big time.
Why do I say so?
As at date, Ivory Coast has about 218 cases, almost similar to Nigeria.
As at the time those guys were apprehended, we had about 30 cases, am sure Ivory Coast also had almost same statistics as at then.
It is unlikely (although remotely possible) that some random Nigerians will become Infected from such a small number of cases. I will bet they were not infected from day one
na2016: Well, I don't understand you message. Are you saying my suggestion to him was not correct or what? It may interest you to know that OP's has already identified a specific research area - "Integration of Renewable Energy on Grid Distribution Network". This is a generic topic around which he can make a reasonable proposal on to get admission. Simple and easy way for him is to read a few good survey papers in this area (if they are available) or he can get 4 good papers around this area and decide what problem in this area he wishes to solve.
I think no much reading or background work is required for him to get admission.
oga, we are both saying exactly the same thing. Writing a proposal shud not be a problem to him because he shud have done some background work in his area of interest and identify a research gap.
Chidirolex: Its not unethical. Show me were in the law its written you can't outsource your research. Our job goes beyond writing as you can also consult us to guide you, provide materials for you and also prepare you for your defense. That's not all our services anyway. We have a private tutor section too. Just check us out and let's wow you.
oga, but u know that What u basically do is to write projects and thesis for students. Forget the long grammar u attach to it. It is unethical. QED.
A friend of mine contacted one of Ur type to write his MBA thesis for Anglia Ruskin University. The result was that a highly plagiarised job was delivered to him. He submitted to the university and he is presently facing disciplinary actions
Rogz85: Your Ph.D was turned down because of your MBA not your HND. MBA is a terminal degree and as such you cannot proceed to a Ph.D with it. Kind regards
some schools grant waivers on the MBA thing these days
na2016: Get a good survey paper on this topic and read, towards the end, you will see areas for further research. Ask your self if your can do it, if the answer is yes, then write your proposal around it and submit, you will be accepted
simple and short. He couldn't just pick a topic out of thin air at this level. He is expected to have done some background work, Identify a research problem and a research gap and build a topic and proposal around it
benji93: The bolded is not quite correct. You cannot do it from just anywhere. The availability of online sources is not the only factor. The credibility of your supervisor matters a lot, probably more than the accessibility of information. The availability of information is not quite a factor today actually. In general, most PhD students need guidance during their PhD, as they conduct their research. Getting a good to great mentorship, as you can imagine mostly depends on your supervisor. There's also the problem of what is called wonderful research. This is largely based on what those top-end professors call it. You may not do great during your Phd, but the clout of your supervisor may just be enough to get you those enviable post-doctoral research fellowships. There's a lot of politics in research too.
I agree. The quality of Ur research is ultimately what your supervisor says it is. I and running a PhD programme. I know a professor in my faculty of whom I will be ashamed to have him supervise even a PGD project work. The work will be so substandard that External examiners will make mincemeat of such work. But he is a professor, and due to politics, nobody questions the nonsense he supervises.
