Hmmm .... people funny!.... "she is a female so I must disagree with her ... and if I can't find anything to .... then I must let the world know she be olosho."

She's on point. This I don't think she knows ... the people who smoke all the time are addicts. If it's cigarettes... they're addicted to the nicotine added to the tobacco. If it's weed ... then they're addicted to the addicted substance added to the weed unknown to them. Most of these addicts... who are determined to japa .... just know the rules governing smoking especiqlly in the developed countries. US for example... it is illegal to smoke in a building ... public transportation... etc... while some States have added laws. E.g ... New York ... you can't smoke in a park or even the beach. Cigarettes are sold by the pack ... 20 sticks ... and in NY the price per pack... minimum .... $14 .... yes... N2100/pk. To top it off ... you must be 21 years or older to buy Cigarettes ... and beer.... ID required upon request. You should know smokers who left Naija and return as non smokers... they never told you why.... but I just did.

Everything you posted is what anyone without a business training will say but it's a different ball game in the business world.
There are marketing strategies called market segmentation and market differentiation, look them up on Google

I don't understand guys like you. This is a public forum ... open to discussion... if you disagree with someone's view ... you should say ... not send the person to do research.

@ topic ... I do agree with the point etrange made in that using a similar name can backfire on the company. I think exactly like that ...." the company is trying to deceive the public ... if they can do that with a name ... what else are they doing same to? I will not trust anything they sell as being what they say it is. Besides the naming part .... I believe they will soon carry the products Shop Rite sells but sell at a lower price to attract customers ... even if it means selling at or below cost. Over time they are likely to drive Shop Rite out of business. It is for the South Africans to be conscious that Shop Rite is theirs and supporting Shop Rite is supporting their own. I saw a video in this forum like two or three years ago where a Chinese man was saying Black people are stupid ... thatba Chinese man will set up Shop in the Black community and the Black residents will stop buying from the Black business and start buying from the Chinese ... driving their own out of business. I thought of it .... and thought there was a lot of truth in it... but shortly after.... I saw the exact thing happened around my way. Chinese opened a store right next door to the Black store .... sold at reduced price ... stocked everything the Black store had ... and the residents abandoned the long established family store driving it out of business. Now what? ... the competition has gone .... the Chinese have raised their prices above what the Black store previously sold at. Residents now have no choice but to pay.... no other such Black store anywhere nearby. I'm seeing the possibility of same happening with Sharp Rite and Shop Rite.

The AMAZING store is the Chinese.....the Event Space next door used to be a thriving Black store. Guy had to move on.

N186B to import grain .... why not to farmers to boost local food production? Buying grain is a one time shot ... one feeding. Given to the farmers it will be continuous. Just my thoughts.

Timoleon:


That's too many billions lost...why are they still in business? Perhaps these losses are manufactured because it is certain that the next financial year will result in more losses when you think about the current state if the economy. Fewer and fewer people are able to sustain their purchasing power. Yet cost of production is increasing by the hour.

Exactly my thoughts ... why still in business? ... and trying to remain in business? ... there is nothing to even give one hope that this year will be as bad as last year... but everything to show that this year will be wayyy worse. I guess they know better than we..... or they not telling the truth.

Putin is a criminal and will be prosecuted very soon. He will be arrested or killed

What about Netanyahu? .... I don't know how some people can be blindly following blatant hypocrites.

Olusegun needs to be fired. Doesn't he knkw the job of the journalist is to expose? .... and his to defend? Instead of saying Tinubu was not sleeping ... he was meditating/listening/ following.... which no one can prove he was not but was sleeping... he opened his mouth and confirmed Tinubu was sleeping.

Hmmm..... was hoping the video was much longer ... wasn't interested in what she was saying but was very interested in what she was doing .... how many bottles of sprays and tubes of lotion she will use. She is sooo slippery... I know no kidnapper can grab her.

They should leave the natural.weed people alone .... why was weed illegal in the first place? ... and continues to be illegal? I have no problem with arresting the loud and coccinellids and other hard drugs.

Black and 45 plus years ... pay attention to your prostate.... an ounce of preventionis better than a pound of cure. if you have the symptoms... start taking action sooner rather than later. The herb stinging nettles apparently was put on earth to control the prostate . Why not use the natural herb instead of pharmaceuticals developed to imitate the herb? .... pharmaceuticals that are not as effective and bring along a whole heap of side effects? I recommend we go back to nature ... source it locally and grown naturally. Nonsense? Check most prostate drugs ... among the unpronounceable contents you will see stinging nettles. Over to you!

oilyngbati:


Well, in abroad like Canada and USA, you’re expected to start repaying your loan, with interest 6 months after graduation. Since we like citing abroad when making reference to what is happening in Nigeria, the government has decided to make Nigerians live like those countries.

There is a difference in start repaying as in Canada and the USA ..... and repay in two years after NYSC.

hotwax:


It’s true. She gave it to him.

There was no surprise shock or fear in her words.

She was relaxed and not agitated because she knew she had it.

He is on his second refill. Doesn't that mean something? ... that he was diagnosed sometime ago? ... is it now he's going to rush home with paper in hand and video running to confront her? Does any of this make sense?... but we are blaming the girl.

Dyfynezz12:


But Boss can 2m get me this in this current economy

Bro ... convert that your N2M immediately to US. If the cost for the project today is N2M ... @ N1500/$1 ... you'll get about $1300 in hand. By the time you are ready to buy and install .... next month end... the exchange rate is likely to be 2000/1 .... the buying power of your N2M will then be only $1000 .... while the cost of the project will raise to N2.5M. With the $1300 in hand... you can convert to Naira which will give you N2.6 M. If not .... you'll have to add N500K to what you have to get the package. Hope I make sense.

WombBreaker:




That's a lie


I know a guy with schizophrenia that's doing well more than the average dude

.... bro.... it's too early! .... calm down.... we not going to argue with you.... nor tell you there is something wrong with you mentally.

@ Op ... never just accept what one doctor diagnosed .... always go to another for at least a second opinion. I just hope your mother was not misdiagnosed.

@ topic .... came home from work one afternoon.... open the door ... my grandmother was sitting on the sofa ... greeted her ... she didn't answer... then realized she was just staring ... a blank stare ... greeted her again .... nothing.... realized she wasn't there... she was on her way to the other side ... went on my room ... cried.... slept off. Like 3 hours later... my mom knocked at the door... called my name .... before she said anything ... I said I know... she broke down and asked how I knew.

Death is final.... the end ... no more chances to forgive or ask for forgiveness... no more chances to fulfill promises or make right... we need to do what we need to before it's too late.

He bought 10bags of cement at rate of #700

Mean 1 bag #70

Do you think is possible to happen again in nigeria?

What was your dad's salary 32 years ago? ... do you think it is possible to happen again in Nigeria?

Hmmm...... couldn't they wait a bit longer for the swellings around his eyes to go down some more? ... why didn't they snap photo first and interrogate him after? I see no swelling on the female.... maybe there is... just not on the face. Good job by the Police ... they need an undercover squad to fish out these people.

The man has to run course .... he has to build and build and rise in reputation... get famous ..... then comes the fall. His turn is coming .... just like TD Jakes.... hypocrites.

I was wondering why The Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency is requesting information on the rapist and not the Police ... and why don't they report the matter. But someone stated he's Police personnel and now this it makes sense... they been making reports forever and nothing was being done because of the connection ... and he knows nothing will be done. It makes no sense for us the public to make reports either ... whoever reports him may become a target. This matter needs to be taken to the street .... clear photo. May others drop more details ... make and model of car he drives etc. This TD Jakes predator needs to be caught and ehmmmm ..... punished.

Jokerman:


I'm talking of transport and ease of accessibility.

Just imagine I get to Ikeja, will enter bus to Ọgba, then take bus to Abule Egba??

Hmmm ..... this will make no sense .... spending that much time and money traveling.... to fix a cheap phone.

They're not serious. Fourteen days ultimatum and giving extention? ... why? I'm almost sure the ones left will do nothing and some who left will return. On day 15 the cleanup crew should be scooping up and carting whatever was left. The next time the City gives an ultimatum people will comply.... they will take it serious.

ogmask:


Get some education dude. She campaigned with trumps name on her lips 247. Trump will win James will go to jail.

This is 2024. It seems lime you need to be updated.

that's a dangerous assumption imo, If we can't trust on nafdac to do their job protecting consumers who are we gonna trust ‽ man that's scary asf.

... sorry for putting this thought in your head! ... it is scary. ...... who are we going to trust? The consolation us they have now warned us.....better late than never.

I'm thinking Dangote is valuing his product in US dollars .... a relatively stable currency .... and the local price of the product ... cement in this case ... will be the equivalent of the USD price . If he has it that his cement has to be sold at $10 .... then his price remains the same... when the Naira was 800/1 ... we bought cement for N8000/sack . Now the Naira is 1500/1 his price remains at the $10 ... but to get it in Naira ... N15000. Are we expecting him to sell it for N10 000? ... th3n he wouldn't be in business for long.

hmmm. I was reading a thread one day, the guy was speaking of how European countries cook up scientific reasons not to import from Africa. Because they need Africa to be dependent. Wether this is one of them i don't know but I'm curious. Has anyone done a similar test to confirm?

They do... but this is not a case where NAFDAC said it's good and they said it is bad. We now have to ask ourselves.... does NAFDAC really do serious testing before approving such products? It obviously did none in this case or they would've found it is not all herbal and had contents that were not even listed. Now we should be very suspicious of any bottled product approved by NAFDAC.

Why the world has to know this? ... especially in these times when kidnappers are looking for targets? Some people really have plenty money but are still poor.

So why not try to recover the monies where nothing was done instead of giving excuses?

labake1:


There was a company like that I almost worked for, you have to submit your bag along with your phone to the receptionist before entering your office. The salary doesn't worth it,i no resume the next day

Did you leave the job because of the bag and phone policy?.... or because of the low salary? Just curious ... didn't you know of the salary before you started the job?

@ topic ... if having access and using. your phone while working is that important then salary shouldn't matter.

So as an alternative, I'm thinking about liaising with the landlord to renovate my apartment, get a personal prepaid meter and also channel water from around the neighborhood. The budget which shouldn't exceed 200k.

Considering all of this, what should I do?

As I see it ... the location is great and this your idea you should try sell to the landlord... it makes a lot of sense and financial sense in particular. Where can you go to get 23hrs electricity... and not pay the extra ever rising cost of transportation? If I were the landlord and you come to me with that suggestion .... I'll say go ahead. What will it cost me to upgrade that room?... nothing. If you want to add toilet and bathroom... I'll also say go ahead.... but increase the rent small. If you need more space I'll run out the neighbour but add his rent to yours. At the end of the day... I will not be spending nor losing income and when you move... I'll be charging an arm and a leg for that luxurious room.... and people will pay. It will be a win win situation... you win and so will the landlord. Go pitch your plan to him.

nairalanda1:


You are making sense, though this government is already going after dom accounts...

No doubt .... they'll mop up all foreign exchange ... whether to use for running the government or to swap out for the billions of Naira they have in their personal accounts and in warehouses we can only guess. The woman in Lekki with $51K cash that was stolen by her house help ... no doubt ... she been buying swapping her Naira for dollars and people are shouting why would she have such amount at home. Many more do for the same reason .... afraid Tinubu would seize it if banked.... hoarding foreign exchange.

ElijahIme1992:


looool now you are bringing racism into the matter, so for a white man to criticize a black person about a job is now racist, so because she is black she shouldn't be criticized.. looool this life power is transient, when Trump win election begin go after him enemies no cry abuse of power o..

Criticism of a person of another race does not make the critic a racist. If I'm of a different tribe than that of Tinubu .... if I accuse him of being clueless about running the country does that make me a tribalist? If I say we know his type ... always into fraud ... the lazy ones who want to get rich quick not by hard work but by yahoo yahoo .... and continue to be making such innuendo.... would you say I'm a tribalist? If not ... then you don't know to read between the lines.

I just don't understand this agent thing. For house help you need an agent? ... someone you know nothing about who will send someone he knows nothing about and you allow that person to enter ... live and have freedom of movement in your home. Doesn't the wife or husband have relatives?... if both orphans don't they have close friends who can do the work or recommend someone? ... or is it they had to look outside because they wanted a slave? They should consider themselves lucky these two were simply thieves and not murderers.

This is Black History Month in the US.Letitia James was elected to office when Trump was President. He did not like it .... and went after her from Day 1 .... making racial undertones and saying she was not fit for the job. His side kick ... the former Federal Prosecutor and ex NYC Mayor racist Rudy Giuliani doubled down on her. She has been successfully prosecuting both of them. This is a knockout punch He has been given.... the hotels... the golf clubs.... all will now be shut down ..... plus have to pay a fine? ... he may be the first president to commit suicide. It is finished.

What are we producing to earn foreign exchange to strengthen the Naira? Take it or leave it .... the Naira will continue to slide. If Tinubu resigns tomorrow.... nothing will change. Buhari took huge debts... and so has Tinubu. It is only now the time has come to start repaying .... and we are crying. The pains are now beginning with no painkillers available now... or in the near future. Keep holding on to your millions of Naira in the bank ..... maybe today it can buy a Mercedes... but I can assure you in two months time it can only buy a Toyota .... in another two months just enough for a Keke..... next four months a bicycle and in a year's time....it will be your rent money..... three years your market money. Again.... convert what you have now to a stable foreign currency .... your Naira savings is losing its purchasing power with every passing day.
