Very good points. What does a 24 year old graduate know to start a self employment. You will only limit how far you can go in life. You need a period of apprenticeship. A period when you are humbled and undergo development. A good employment can transform your life and give you a solid foundation in life. I thank God my early employment completely transformed my life. With some years in an accountancy firm, Today myself and my family are british citizens with loads of achievement which I would not have achieved if I have to be my own boss. It is worth it. You can still find a good employment out there.

And when u can't get dt employment after 7yrs of searching, what do u do sit at home idle ba

That is if you can, not every one can! Infact the people who can are few.

In Nigeria of today for survival and employment people dnt have an alternative to entrepreneurship. Nothing humbles a man like hunger. Everyone cannot get white collar job n dts d sad truth. Even those working r combining it with entrepreneurship as salaries r nt always regular.

Govt is ordinarily not supposed to provide d bulk of d jobs in a healthy economy, entrepreneurship does

Charism:
How long would one continue to "earn a living"? "Earn a living" is too small to pay your bills, build a house, raise kids and marry. Believe you me, you will get tired at some point.

You can only "earn a living" to supplement your income.

If u can achieve 0.001percent of dangote in entrepreneurship u will easily meet all ur basic needs n wants. Dangote is d richest black man on planet earth n u must nt b like him to b successful. Any man worth 100m is rich in naija u kw. People like dangote r produced one in a century in entrepreneurship

My fellow Nairalanders please what should I do?

I was fired on Thursday and no reason was stated in the termination of appointment letter.

Should I go to industrial court to seek redress or write the management to ask the reason why my appointment was terminated, because throughout my 2 months stay in the company I did not receive any notice of warning neither was involved in any fraud case.

Please what should I do?

I was employed as a subordinate under the head of a department in November last year,meanwhile before resigning my appointment in my former place of work,I was the head of the same department.

Right from day one in the new workplace,she started making my work difficult, she did not give me proper orientation and failed to attach me to a trainer,as a matter of fact she said to me and I quote " you should learn how to use company software in two days, in short you should be on your own in three days"

Everyday she makes life horrible for me, she hauls insults at me as If I was a greenhorn in the field. infact there was a day she said I was looking like a slowpoke, that I am too slow for her liking.
A month and some weeks later in the employment,she said she has done her assessment and submitted,that I scored zero in every area,that the fresh graduates perform better than me.

At that point,I sensed she was seeing me as a threat and for peace to reign,I called and tried to pacify her,she said she does not have anything against me.

and being new in the system, I have to learn how to use the software and office procedures,but this madam does not have soft spot for me on small mistakes,she always say this' you don't know anything you better go back to your former place of work'.
I got fed up and reported the matter to the HR,I was told to be patient with her and asked if I wanted redeployment which I said yes.

She relegated me to the state of nonentity by attaching me to an intern( to be assisting an intern).

When my appointment was terminated on Thursday, I was told to go and do clearance, to my amazement when I took my clearance form to her, she was not sympathetic at all rather she said "so fast" and signed instantly.

I knew my sack was orchestrated by her and I want justice for her wicked act.

please how should I go about it?

2 months stay, ur incompetence got ur sorry ass fired if u r smart u shld have seen dt coming. Dnt waste ur money going to court BC u r nt a confirmed staff, u were on probation n failed hence u got butted out. U scored zero in ur assessment n failed to learn d organizational work tools ie software n culture

Move on bro

Entrepreneurship seems to be the order of the day today, the press glorifies it, government officials put lots of emphasis on it as the only way out of poverty, its even a compulsory course for all university students. NYSC is all about it, from your afternoon lectures in camp, to your SAEED. But is it really worth it? Are they telling us the truth, or is it mere propaganda by politicians to give excuses for their failure?
Daily we are bombarded by happy ending stories of people who made it by starting up their business, we are told to emulate the likes of Dangote, Otedola, mike Adenuga. But the bitter truth is that not everyone will make it like Dangote. As a matter of fact the chances of Success is Very rare.
People who make it are the lucky ones, lucky in the sense that the have opportunities that others never had or will never have which they harnessed to their advantage.
Opportunities like capital, good location, skills, business climate, experience e.t.c. These variable are not things you have control over. Take for example Dangote started his business with just #500,000 (a huge amount of money during the 70's) given to him by his uncle Dantata (one of the richest men in nigeria at that time) who also groomed him in the tricks of business management. There are many people who have beautiful business plans out there, but no capital to fund them. Even when the capital is available, you don't any experience about the business climate of the business you are venturing into, its like a blind man crossing the highway unaided.
The truth of the matter is that not everyone is meant to be entreperneurs, if you believe in the determination, nothing-can-stop-me mantra, you might probably end up with a small food-stuff shop/kiosk business, or like the road side akara seller whose income would not be enough for you to start a family. If it were that easy, then our proffesors of business administration in our universitys, would have been top business moguls by now.
Truth be told, our politicians need to sit up! And make economic policies to would encourage investment and growth. If the economy is favourable, both entrepreneurs and employees, would be better-off.

Even if u dnt become a dangote at least u will earn a living through entrepreneurship than sitting at home idle. Ur thread is a beautiful nonsense

A man says

"I don't love my wife because she is not. submissive perhaps, if she were submissive i would have loved her"

A woman says

"I am not submissive to my husband because he doesn't love me, if he had shown love to me, I would have been submissive"

The bible made mention of these things but didn't tell which should come first.

Ephesians 5:22

"Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church,his body, of which he is the Savior"



Ephesians 5:25

"Husbands, love your wives,just as Christ lovedthe church and gave himself up for her"






Now, my question is, Which should come first? "Love" or "Submission"

They go together, no first n second, got dt

Please dear Nairalanders, I want to be informed about how to handle car dry Battery when one is away with no trusted hands to be warming it for you. Is it advisable to disconnect one of the terminals or the two? I wait to hear. I will leave for two consecutive days. I don't want to lose the battery.

Did u say two days, dts too short a time to worry abt anything, if its up to 4days n above removal of battery terminal would have been advised, except ur battery is over 18months n weak

Richie0974:
So yesterday night, I was walking round the house ( Men thingy) just as I was about going back inside, I saw a snake coming out. I called for cutlass, collected it and rushed towards the snake. My first attempt, I missed that was when I realized it was a cobra with its flattened head raised up. Worst of all by the time I realized it was a cobra, I fell down. Thanks to my knowledge of snakes from watching them on TV I didn't move because it was so close. It backed away and was about going when I stood up and cut it in half, it was still trying to escape when I got a stick and smashed it. I use to think I like snakes but after yesterday I've changed my mind.

Toks2008:
It is the wish of many ladies to get married and while some ladies are fully prepared for the institution,many are totally naive about what lies ahead after saying i do but from my little experience in life, i present to you 10 things no mother or pastor will tell you before you say i do to that man.

1.That no matter how sweet the man is to you,no matter how caring and romantic and no matter how many prophets told you he is your man,that sweet man can turn to a demon after saying i do so what it seems before marriage is never a guaranty of what it will be after marriage.

2.If your man beats or cheats on you when you are courting,there is a 90% possibility that he will do even worse after marrying you and you need to understand that it is a big mistake to marry a man with the hope that he will change some characters you don't like but just learn to love him that way or take a walk.

3.If your man beats you once,it could be a mistake but if he beats you the second time then its a habit he is likely never going to stop.

4.That it is good to marry a man you have feelings for but it is a terrible thing to marry a man who does not desire you as much as you desire him.

5.That if you marry a man because of what he has and not because of mutual love then be ready to be miserable in that marriage as long as it lasts.

6.That a man can love you with all his life and could still cheat on you because most men think with that thing down there when it comes to their feelings for women and are polygamous in nature and no matter how sweet and disciplined you are,it will not stop him from cheating on you and divorcing a cheating hubby is no guaranty that the next man won't do worse.

7.As a lady, as long as you are sexually decent,GOD fearing,an excellent cook,financially independent and humble,you have absolutely nothing to fear because it will be extremely difficult for your man to disrespect you much less divorce you.

8.That not all men are calm but some have innate tendency to be violent so you must try at all cost to avoid any form of confrontation.

9.That women are women worst enemies and many of your female friends will be glad to see your marriage crumble so avoid discussing your marital flaws with them but take it to God in prayers and you must block your ears from hear says and believe what your hubby tells you even when you have an irking that he is lieing and whatever you have not seen does not exist.

10.That there is always a lady out there who is ready to push you out of your matrimony and take your place but 90% of men who cheat on their wives are not ready to divorce their wives but it is these wives that push the man out with impatience and hot temper so you will need lots of patience to deal with a philanderer because in most cases,they always come back home after having their feel of the side dishes.

11.That no man owns the key to your marital happiness except you because most men are the same and no man is worth the stress and as soon as you are married,you should focus on building your life as well as that of your child(ren).

12.That no marriage is perfect but every marriage has its own perculiar challenges and you must be ready to work on your marital pasture to look green cos that greener marital pasture you see on the other side have been worked so work on yours and remember that a happy union is not between two compactible people or two romantic people but its the one between two forgivers so learn to forgive and you will have a happy union.

13.That no matter how careful you may be in choosing a spouse,marriage will always be a black market where you must prepare for unforeseen situation and there is no right or wrong choice of man but what we have is your choice and what you make out of it and only GOD can guaranty a happy marriage.

Hope these make some sense.

I’m 28 years old and been married for 2 years with no kid.

My husband best friend who has been away for years came to Nigeria on the 3rd of this month for a project and I don’t know why but he was so caring and always complimented me even when my husband failed to notice my new hair or look. He had this beautiful girlfriend who always came to see him

On my birthday which was the 12th ,my husband traveled to England for what he called an urgent business deal leaving his friend and I. I didn’t plan on celebrating it but he forced me to go out to dinner. He said his girlfriend was going to be there. We went to the venue and he started telling me about their escapades in the University .

I was cool with it till he said my husband had a girl he wanted to marry but he couldn’t because she was Igbo. My hubby and I are yoruba. When I asked where she is now, he said she lives in London and has remained single since then.


I was heartbroken because I know my husband has been visiting the UK a lot and he never told me about her. He said I was his first love. I believed because we got married 8 months after we met.

I didn’t know when I started crying and we went home. I don’t know what happened but we slept together and it was after it was over I realized I made a big mistake and confronted him.

He laughed and said it was ok and told me it was a mistake and he would never ever tell anyone. My husband came back 4 days ago and I just couldn’t confront him and ask about his first love since I know what I did with his friend.

I was starting to push my fling to the back of my mind last week my hubby’s friend asked to borrow some money from me. I told him I didn’t have the money he was asking for which was 500k. He said it wasn’t a loan, he said it’s either I give him or he tells my husband what we did. He said I didn’t deserve his friend anyway and called me cheap.

I’m confused and can’t tell any of my friends because I don’t trust them. I also don’t know if to confess to my husband first before he blackmails me. Knowing my husband, it will be over and since I don’t have a kid, there is nothing tying him to me. Also I am not from a rich home though my husband spoils me a lot. Should I just pay his friend or tell my husband first? Please don’t judge me.

GMartyns:
Hello, I have to share this with you simply because I want to have you suggest and advice on what to do.

After my graduation, It's over a year now that I've been staying with my Elder Sister and her husband. No kids yet.  Believing God for a job. So I could be independent of anyone.

The issue is, I wonder how on earth my sister could marry him- an unbeliever. Him and my sister are just like two opposite poles. She's a believer, but the husband claims to be a christian but not ungodly so to speak. At a time, he stopped going to church for a period of 3 to 4 months.

He listens to corrupt songs, and at a time told my sister her parent would burry her soon. What transpired between them I could not tell.

He suddenly becomes rude, demanding that, I,  his brother in-law should wash every plate he uses to eat the food he cooks and dishes out by himself in the presence of my sister.

This is a man who stays at home all the day doing absolutely nothing. He is 40. I am 30.

Each time I return home, the kitchen is always messed up. And deliberately, leaves the kitchen in such a mess, so I could clean them up for him, since I'm staying with them. Yet, he could cook the food by himself, dished it by himself and sleep all all day or probably watch the TV .

My Sister works 7 to 7 daily, and most of the times, she would have been tired , returning from work.

We don't eat together. I wash every plate I personally use. Most times, I cook the food, and have him and my sister eat first. And then I dish mine later.

Lately, I have been observing some fastings, and I rarely go to the kitchen to cook nothing. Yet he demands that must wash every plate he uses to eat whether or not I eat on that day.

My question is, Is it right for my Sister's Husband to be demanding for such, asking me to wash his dirty plates? when he doesn't even care whether I have eaten or not.

He said and I quote " I can't be washing plates in this house, neither is my wife going to do same, you must wash every plate used in this house  henceforth"

To me, it is the hottest insult I have ever received. Not even my own mother would demand for such a dirty request...

Now, I resolved to not eating anymore in the house, probably that would put a stop to the ridicule.

U have no choice it is his house, at 30 u shld b living in ur own house. Go n hustle hard n pay for ur own apartment even if it is one room in a face me I face u apartment. U r a man for crying out loud. I give u six months to leave dt house n dts wat ur brother in-law is telling u but ur thick skull won't understand.

Leaving with ur sister at ur age n serving them is unacceptable, it make u look like a zombie let it push u harder into making it
