Jobs/Vacancies › Re: She Sent This Message To Her Recruiter Barely A Week After Interview by obstead200(m): 7:15am On Oct 01, 2016
ify2016:
A friend of mine out of her interest in landing a job in a particular company after a successful interview decided to send this message to the Human Resources and now she is regretting ever doing it.

So, was it bad of her sending that message to the recruiter so that she won't try it again next time.

Thanks good people of Nairaland. Your opinion is highly welcome.
I know u are the owner of this message. I will advise u as follows:
Your grammar is very faulty, and ur writing style is poor. As a customer relations officer, ability to communicate Clearly in as few words as possible is very important, seeing that u have a lot of clients to deal with daily. Try to improve on this.

Secondly, forget this text and just send a thank u text. In a few weeks, u can send something like this. But get a friend very good with written English to vet it first

yahyamay:
please do u have an idea on the terms of the contract,the answer is no. so you should have asked.
In the terms and conditions (pension, leave allowance and other benefits are included).so no sane person would fight for what's not documented. The last paid pension was last year October for CNSSL ILORIN. Leave allowance for this year has not been paid and it's due by September 30.Salary not paid yet as stated in the terms that its on or before 28th of the month. etc. we have to voice out so as to be heard. hope you are getting the picture of the situation now.
fight for what is in the contract ONLY. U shud get it. If ur pension was agreed to be paid pro rata upon termination, u will get it. Same for ur leave allowance.

However, leave mtn alone. According to the contract, they are not ur employers.

The funny thing is, one or all of them could be innocent because there is no rape kit. Normally, if a man or woman is raped, you are adviced to go to a hospital after calling the police so they can create a rape kit for you. Without this, it will be impossible to prove that you were raped. Especially in a country like Nigeria where if you want to kill someone you don't like just yell "THIEF".

Who knows Wole Soyinka outside of Nigeria? Yorubas...every thing is not about dicck contest with Igbos. Chinua Achebe is the most celebrated African author. Do you know billions of people who are dying to read his books, and thousands of secondary schools and universities universities who have his books their curriculum since 80s. Things Fall Apart is the greatest literary feat of the last and current century.
I must give it to Achebe. Not because of things fall apart. It was a good book.
But Arrow of God is the bomb. If I write a review on that book, it might be longer than the book itself.

MAAF:
@ Op

I am into food processing also, and from my little experience food processing is aimed at maximising profit of the farmer. But in the process of installing a processing plant be it for crops or animal products you have to look for the cheapest yet most effective machines to allow you produce good quality end products.
[b]Using Garri processing for example, how many people go to super markets to buy packaged and labelled Garri?? Even if people buy them , by the time you have sold 10 packs of 1 kg weight, I have sold up to 10 bags of 50kg bags to market women and cashed out and continue my cycle of processing.
Business is about turnover not about how pretty it sounds in the ear. Business is about maximising your profits by targeting your biggest buyers and channelling your goods to them.

I am talking from experience cos am into food processing myself and I am fully hands on in what I do. I meet my buyers one on one ,do market surveys based on demand and cost and produce accordingly otherwise I will run at a loss.

My processing plant has locally fabricated equipments which are cheap( thereby saving me money in the aspect of cost production) and they have not given me a single problem since I acquired them.

Considering the fact that most farmers are still at the subsistent level, I do not know how many people can afford hundreds of thousands to set up a common Garri Processing plant like you have quoted when they can walk into the market and assemble strong equipments at less than 3/4 of the price you have quoted. As we all know government loans are difficult to come by.

If you supply your equipments to the ' A ' team who can afford it, I guess you have to look for another medium to advertise your products as here on NL- agric section , most of us support our selves with realistic and affordable products that can help everybody grow,maximise profit and save unnecessary expenses.[/b]

From your comments you should be a bit more polite in addressing people who are airing their views about your strange prices, cos they have right to their opinion, sounding arrogant and demeaning wouldn't do your business any good. Learn to make your points in a reasonable manner and be courteous in doing it cos at the end of the day people will always decide what they want to buy regardless of how it is advertised.
The choice is theirs.

Thanks
God bless u.
Please talk some sense into that scam of a consultant

first of all, dude, grin u make me laff... Share the problem give solved...

The screenshot below is from one of the business plan I did for my client...

U will clearly see the market analysis defining but the open and closed market system and why clients can choose...

Second, bro, I am not new on Nairaland and people who knws me knows that I am not a fraud in any business I engage in...

I am using this opportunity to ask anyone who tot I scammed him or her with any of my services rendered to come forward with proofs...

You re a typical angry youth who won't move an inch because u blame the govt for ur ineptitude and lack of ability to surge beyond the limits you are seeing...

Knw this, I have sold nothing more than 200 copies of my Garri manual and av never been called back by anyone to say they were not enlightened by it..

My limits are beyond u and my vision is beyond your future imagination...

Like I said, instead of you saying, 'in this era of change', like u said in one of your posts, let me connect you so that you can start the reselling business and stop beating your cheat for nothing...

If you are an entrepreneur, you will never see a limit in an opportunity. What abt those who are doing it and are successful at it?

Don't tell me, I knw your answer grin they have two heads... grin grin

Anyways, education is all you need.

Post your email as a quote and I swear to God, I will give u a free manual...

But only if u post ur emai with ur moniker..

Dnt be shy, u need a lifeline before u find any unpleasant use for a compulsory combination of a tree and a rope grin
U are a real fool and a real scam.

What is the origin of all our arguments? Was it not because I proposed that it was better to mass produce garri with cheap implements and input and sell cheap, rather than seeking to ajebutterise garri and sell to a very small segment of the market. U were so angry with this piece of common sense and u can't even counter it with logical reasoning rather u resorted to a combination of insults and self exaltation. What else is the Mark of fraudsters if not this approach?

Thank you..

With just 50,000... You can start your repackaging business and make some money...

But to sit in your cave and think that people don't buy packaged Garri... Chai.. poverty don partner with u o..

Check Benliz.... He's also in packaging...
I know ur style. I won't give in to it. U are trying to play the hero. Crooks are always that way.

Talk is cheap. I am not poor and I don't need garri business to survive.
As an entrepreneur, I look for and solve real problems.
Not trying to add costs to something that is not even a problem.

Selling 10kg of packaged garri is more difficult than selling 100kg of local garri.

The prices are ridiculous, even when they stainless steel? With bug petrol engines as depicted in the picture?

Do me a favour, Google the fabricators you can get, contact them and ask for a quote.

Below is the back of one of my client's Garri package, pls, tell me, what kind of machines do you think he is using? Non stainless? H

And for the umpteenth time, I am not a fabricator. These are the standard price you wld get. And if you check others like Niji, capsfeed etc, you wld be amazed that even a grater costs 900,000. These a big companies with standards and they make sales whether pessimist as claraworld hang themselves or not.

And claraworld, you have proven to be a real novice.. the bags in the open market is far more than 50kg... Do your maths...

And for you to biliv that u make more money by selling in the open market, i pity you.

I always advised my clients to choose a flexible market system.. I knw ulyou won't understand what Meant, but dont worry, my clients does... cool cool
Say what u wish
One thing I know is that those who consume garri do not give a Damn about the packaging in ur picture.
All they want is; "give me a paint bucket of garri at the lowest possible price"
If u want to sell garri packaged like this for ajebutters, before u sell 50kg, I who sell in local sack bags would have sold 500kg.

There are things that appeal to ajebutters. Garri is not one of them.
Agriculture › Re: The Major Garri Processing Machines With Prices by obstead200(m):
claraworld:
Bros this guy is just a consultant according to him, he is not a practicing garri producer and I know the that the prices of things have gone up recently but let's think of it, all the garri in the market all-over Nigeria do you think that their buyers do ask if they were made with stainless materials or who cares if they were made with first class lister engine? All am saying is that setting up a garri factory doesn't need a state of the art machineries, what you need is to get you factory premises clean and start production, what makes you think that even if you use 3 million naira to set up a garri factory that it will make your garri better off compared to the locally produced ones or make you sell more. You don't need nafdac registration number for garri and your best market is not the super markets but local buyers that buys in 50kg bags and supply to major markets, so I will advice everyone interested in this factory to forget about this garriguy idea because I know you don't need a consultant who wants you to use millions of Naira to setup a garri factory, producing garri is one of the cheapest things to start up in Nigeria for now, you just need to grow your farm and it's done, forget about him saying you buy cassava to produce garri, whoever tries that has him or herself to blame because you will heavily run at a loss, i know this because I am a practicing garri producer and not one white collar garri factory consultant, whoever wants to use millions of Naira for a garri factory is free to do just that, but believe me it will be a foolish investment
I agree it is cheaper to farm ur cassava. But in the absence of the needed land resources, buying is also a good alternative. Especially if u are aiming for large scale production. Everyone had at on point or the other produced garri for personal and family consumption, myself inclusive. But if u aim to do it as a business, buying cassava is inevitable.

But where I must agree with u is that the cost of his equipment is too high. No one cares about stainless steel bullshit.
As far as I am concerned, the most sustainable business model is one that solves the basic problem at the lowest cost.
Garri is Garri. No matter how it is done. So key issue should be cost reduction to sell more produce. Not packaging garri for wannabe ajebutters to buy at ridiculous prices

A known teacher in Abraka is also guilty of this and I've told him that soon I'll expose him once I get convincing proof. He always brings young girls to his room. They sweep his room, wash his clothes and of course, service him sexually.

At Uyo, there's a pedophile who stays close to me. He brings girls of about 6-10 years home and locks his door. We won't hear a sound after that. I wonder about the mental state of women who release their children to him. This one's name is Mr Ukpe and children of 10 years or below are his speciality. I've also sent reports to concerned groups. I only need proof to arrest his ass now.


We need to start learning in Nigeria that these things are not NORMAL! We can't get away from them anymore. I won't rest in a country like Nigeria especially when I know I may have a daughter someday. God forbids! I'll devote my time to hunting down men like this and exposing them.

Agriculture › Re: The Rice Investment Plan by obstead200(m): 9:49am On Sep 11, 2016
peperempe:
nice write-up but what you have written don't seem to be visible in reality. In practice, most farmers in Nigeria produces an average of 2.5 to 3tons per hecter. On d point dat 7.5tons of produces 150bags of rice is not true either as paddy rice or processed rice. 7.5tons of paddy rice is equivalent to 75bags of paddy at 100kg per bag. 100kg of paddy rice produces an average of 70kg of processed rice, 20kg of husk and abt 10kg of bran if d milling machine is of high efficiency. Some machines even process less than 70kg of milled rice per 100kg of paddy rice. So, i wonder how u did ur calculation to arrive at 150bags of rice. In as much as u are trying to introduce people to rice farming/milling biz, pls try to also do a thorough research bfor u come to d public wit ur plans. God bless you.
Mykellio:
At Pavore9 and the OP... do we really have an idea of how many tons per hectare (t/ha) can be gotten from Nigerian rice plantations. Even 4 t/ha from a paddy field will be a lofty achievement considering the existing varieties and agronomic practices by local rice growers.

Second, do we have an idea of the milling preservation rate of the milling equipment to be used? Because, paddy will normally lose between 25 - 30% of its weight during processing as chaff, sediments, broken rice etc. to emerge as polished, destoned rice.

These are some questions OP needs to frankly answer to be sure the projections made are realisable.

Just my humble opinion.
I thank God for both of u above.
At last some people with real business sense have entered this thread. Not all these "send the biz plan to my mail" group of people.
U guys have asked the promoter basic and strategic questions that he needs to answer in order to justify his claims.
