Eating out alone can be quite daunting and uncomfortable. You may have this feeling because you are alone as you have no one to talk or chat with. Hence, it might take a bit of bravery, but Jumia Food, Nigeria’s No 1 food ordering portal highlight some tips to help your next adventure for solo dining.

Avoid room service

While it seems quite luxurious to have someone bring food to your room, it can be quite lonely. It’s also easy to indulge in larger portions when you’re in solitude.

Eat at the bar

Sitting at the bar of a hotel or restaurant, you might find other people to chat with. At a hotel, you’ll likely find the company of other travellers while at a restaurant you might strike up conversations with locals. In either case, it’s an excellent way for eating alone.

Choose a nice place.

When presented with the prospect of eating alone, many people are not thorough in choosing a restaurant. There’s no way you’re going to enjoy eating solo if you visit a restaurant you don’t really like.

Time your dining well

Regardless of the fact that you turn up solo at a restaurant, try to dine a little before or after peak time. Because at peak times, the restaurant will definitely be filled out as such, it may be unable to cope.

Set the table

If the table has already been set for two people then ask the waiter to take away the rest of the cutlery. It may mean the table looks a little bare but it’s better than people thinking you’re waiting for someone and been stood up.

One of the best ways to de-stress on vacation is to travel as light as possible. Simply put, less baggage means less to worry about. It always sounds like a good idea until you actually start packing. That’s when you realise that it is near impossible for you to pack light. Regardless, Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency highlights tips to help you master the art of packing light.

It’s all about the roll

Rolling your clothes instead of folding them is a huge space-saver. You will be able to fit more into a smaller suitcase.

Use shoes to store valuables

Don’t let any space go to waste because it can be very useful. Filling your shoes with clothes and other items will help keep their shape while squished into your suitcase.

Plan your outfits for each day you’re gone

Before you pack, lay out an outfit for each day to cut down the chances you’ll pack more than you need. It’s simple, but much more effective than just guessing and throwing a bunch of random stuff in a bag.

Pack bottoms you can wear several times

Maximize space by doubling up on how many days you wear your pants, skirts and other bottoms. The more outfits you can make from the least amount of bottoms, the better. For example, you can pack 3 shirts for one bottom.

Take advantage of laundry services

It’s easy when you’re staying with a friend or family member, but if you’re staying at hotels, call ahead and get the details on their laundry service.

When you travel, you meet all kinds of people including pickpockets who are very desperate or determined to do away with your valuables. In fact, these pickpockets are coming up with new ways to steal from you. Obviously, losing your money or valuables during your daily commute is the worst way to start or even end your day. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency shares tricks to outsmart these pickpockets.

Don’t put all your money in one place

Splitting up your money is always a good idea. Hide them in different spots inside your backpack. Even if one spot is discovered, chances are the pickpocket would not think of searching for more.

Carry backpacks with hidden pockets

Hidden pockets inside the lining of the bag is a sure way to dissuade a pickpocket from stealing from you. These pockets work as a great hiding place for concealing passports and money.

Buy in a money belt

Money belts are easy to guard when you are wearing one. Also, they come with many pockets so hiding your money inside is not very difficult.

Stop using purses or handbags

These may be easy to carry, but they are also easier to get into. Purses or handbags are extremely enticing for pickpockets for the valuables they hold - money, credit cards, jewellery and mobile phone! For thieves, it’s a cakewalk to cut or snatch a purse.

Dress like you belong

Even if you are a tourist and are aware of the rampant pickpocketing, dressing like a local will always work in your favour. Dress as unnoticeable as you can because pickpockets will size you up before deciding to make their move.

Personalize and disguise your valuables

Items such as laptops or watches can be easily disguised with stickers. For example, you can wrap your laptop inside a used courier package. That way, a pickpocket will know that the item is not worth stealing as it looks trashy.

Chicken eggs are a popular snack for many Nigerians and form part of many meals in Nigeria.

We are used to brown, golden brown and white eggs but not so used to chicken eggs that have shades of green and blue.

This raises concerns about how these variants came about. Selective breeding or genetic modification?

Whatever it is, would you eat green or blue eggs?

Nice one.

A bus is obviously going to take more passengers than a Sienna. You might consider using it as an Airport shuttle.

The Road is decent (at least in Lagos) and fewer agbero wahala.

This advice might also help;

Transportation

People must move from their homes to places of work within and outside cities. There so many ways to enter this business from Uber to commercial buses to tricycles. The most important factor for success is either you drive your vehicle yourself if it is only one you have or find trustworthy people to drive your vehicles if you have more than one. Hire purchase agreement with your drivers is an option you might want to consider as it gives them an incentive to reach the agreed sales price in record time. This is good for you as you can use the profit to expand your business.

Asian giant Xiaomi launches with a bang on jumia

Asian mobile giant Xiaomi has arrived with a bang in Nigeria, launching last week, exclusively on e-commerce platform Jumia, its two best-seller phones, the Redmi Note 5A and Redmi Note 5A Prime at introductory prices of N34,590 and N45,890 respectively.

This was Jumia’s most successful new mobile release, with record-breaking sales of 2,000 units in the first 10 minutes of the launch on . Massive sales were also attributed to the flash sales held last week Wednesday when 500 units of the Redmi Note 5A Prime were sold in the first 120 seconds at 33,990₦. Jumia has built a unique ability to release new smartphones (as Infinix lovers would confirm) and they did not disappoint this time around either.

The success of the launch can evidently be attributed as well to the impressive quality/price ratio that the Xiaomi phones offer. Indeed, the Redmi Note 5A Prime is the perfect blend of reliable hardware and software on a budget. This 4G LTE smartphone boasts of a 5.5inch HD display, 3GB RAM +32GB ROM super fast responsive Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 octa-core processor and a superb 16-megapixel front camera with selfie light for that perfect picture. It is powered by a 3080mAh battery to last you through the day with a unique MIUI 9 operating system built on the Android framework, and for N45,890 the Redmi Note 5A Prime has everything you would expect from a budget device.

If you did not get a chance to get your hands on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Prime last week, Jumia is bringing it back for you next week, during its biggest mobile phone sale of the year, Mobile Week.

Jumia has partnered with mobile giants such as Tecno, Infinix, Fero and Xiaomi and is promising to bring over 1 million deals to customers from March 19th to March 25th.


Watch out for the flash sales and may the fastest fingers win!

hopilo:
He was instructed to cancel his Africa trip and return home immediately for a more crucial engagement but he disobeyed President Trump, stop by in Nigeria instade of flying straight from Kenya home. That one hour impacted US negatively and Trump being someone that don't tolerate insubordination had to sack Tilerson immediately. No need to wait for two months. He follow up every assignment given to members of his cabinet and demand for updates frequently.

People can lie.

Less than 24 hours after meeting President Muhammadu Buhari, the United States Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson has been sacked by President Donald Trump. Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA is the new Secretary of State while he in turn will be replaced by Gina Haspel who becomes the first woman to hold the position.

According to the Washington Post, Tillerson was told by Trump to ‘step aside’ last Friday without the news being divulged.

saarumann:
It is finished! Buhari is a selfish self implode bigot. Was the election reorder about buhari? All the National Assembly did was to simplify election sequence to make the process smoother and easier for organizers and the electorate, hence the amendments. Why will President reject the amendment? Is he now taking it personal that National Assembly out to get him?
This country is in really BIG TROUBLE!

INEC is the one in charge of elections and it is not complaining.

The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) is one of the biggest and most well-known unions in Nigeria. However, over the years it has gained a high degree of notoriety based on the activities of some of its members leading to deaths and destruction of property.

The top level leadership of the union have always insisted that they do not subscribe to violence and thuggery.

Perhaps to address this negative trend, the union on its Facebook account made the following post to inform members on what it takes to be a good NURTW member who does the right thing to promote ‘Up National’.

GOOD NURTW MEMBER

Good nurtw member is a union developer. Good member programs their daily life activities for the benefits of other. Good state chairman,branch chairman and unit chairman can share their experiences and knowledge with new members. Good member respect the union constitutions,we respect our country nigeria,we respect her national anthem and other symbols,we give our vote, encourage our member to vote, work for the country not for political parties, we help to protect environment and ensure safety of our passengers.

So, whether or not you are a member, you know what the union expects from its members and can educate the erring ones at the risk of a broken limb or two though (Unfortunately, we cannot say we are joking). However, you can try, after all, they are people just like you.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a popular destination for many people around the world when it comes to leisure including many Nigerians. The country also boasts of a vibrant and diverse expatriate community based on the comfortable lifestyle obtainable there.

However, very few people realize the kind of transformation that has occurred in the country since the 1970s when it was formed.

According to Wikipedia, the UAE consists of seven emirates and was founded on 2 December 1971 as a federation. Six of the seven emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah) combined on that date. The seventh, Ras Al Khaimah, joined the federation on 10 February 1972. The seven sheikhdoms were formerly known as the Trucial States, in reference to the treaty relations established with the British in the 19th Century.

Dubai in Nigeria particular is an international hospitality and leisure hub with wondrous architecture and sights. See the shocking transformation it has witnessed in less than 3 decades.

https://i1.wp.com/www.opinions.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/COVVR_20180313012050338.jpg?w=400

This goes to show that with dedication and purposeful leadership, countries like Nigeria can achieve rapid infrastructural and economic developmemt.
