OP! How can U make money without first saving from what U get? Getting rich is a gradual process. Go & read "The Richest Man in Babylon". That book best defines Naijas current economiic situation. The points therein are purely practical. Question- Is obtaining loan to build your living house a good idea

Nwaohafia1:
Okay. So that's the fire we are currently discussing on Twitter?


Electrical fire is no joke. Maybe caused by overvoltage. One transformer/breaker has packed up


Fire service should respond asap.

Could also be D.C failures or Breaker explosions. Lord Save d S.O

We are just fooling around in this country. How would there be light when you will still pay for light bills whether light comes or not? We are so used

U r been charged for what U consume: Electrical power allover d world is expensive

Talknochip:
In my area, weneva dia is rain fall, we would b thrown into perpetual darkness!.... Presentlly, dis is our fourth day witout lite..... And dia is no hop of seeing it today cos rain is fallin now!..... If only d govt did sold d distribution companies to capable people!!!

Most of our Electrical power infrastructures are overhead & thus affected by the prevailing weather, Faults occurs & requires so many technicalities to clear & restore back supply hence U need patience; it isn't intentional; people are sweating, jobs are on line just in d bid 2 get U supply whenever & wherever such occurs. Go & reduce Ur Maggi Seasoning consumption

Tell Ur CDA not to purchase any Transformer, wait till DISCOS supply U; its a gradual thing oooooo

lincs25:
Annoying one is when a community transformer spoil, PHCN will tell the community to buy transformer or look for a politician who will buy for them at the end PHCN will come and start collecting bill

Ghostmode2two:
Give us prepaid meter, constant electricity and stop estimated billing system. Why cant PHCN open the prepaid meter market so we can just go to any shop or dealer to buy and get it connected just like the way mobile phones are bought?

it's an open market thing now but the regulations are just taking shape. Make una relax now! Habaaaa

Beautiful! Meanwhile d church is not even meant 4 saints but d "Sick ones" who deserve a change in their spiritual lives NOT just for their pockets nor social affiliation only! Beware Pastors; Beware of Pastors??

BandAid:
While many countries are building factories to take care of youth unemployment and drive the economy, Nigerians would rather build gigantic worship centres as if they are the first born of God. Hypocrites of the highest order.

Zobo is a very lucrative business you can start-up with just a little amount of capital. It is a well-known drink among the locals

It is tasty, refreshing, and cheap to buy on a low-income budget when you are thirsty.

It has many health benefits which would not only make you get better but also cure certain illnesses you may suffer

Below are some steps to manage and set up a zobo business

When starting up any business, there are some steps and ideas to consider. We are going to discuss them as in brief headlines below

CAPITAL-   You can start up with any little amount of money with you. i tried indulging into the zobo business and started with N7000. i first distributed it at low rates to small shops before i distributed and sold in schools selling almost 100 cans per day at N20 each. I made gain of almost N20000 in a month. Imagine how much more you could make with more investment ?
QUALITY-  Also, your zobo drink must have a great quality so as to make people patronize you more. zobo drink isn't that hard to prepare, you just need a special recipe on how to make your drink taste unique. My own special recipe to prepare a simple zobo drink below

-zobo leaves

-ginger

-jolly juice/ sugar syrup/honey (for taste)

-pineapple peels

STEPS- Rinse your zobo leaves because it accumulates dust, put it  in a pot and pour water over it preferably enough water just over the leaves

Add ginger (preferably dried ginger to give a nice scent), black spice and the pinneapple peels. boil mixture and reduce the heat to avoid destroying the essential nutrient in the drink.

When it has boiled, you can use filter to seperate the leaf from the red-made perpared zobo drink.

Allow to cool before adding addictives, you can use either jolly juice, sugar syrup, or honey for taste.               Serve with chilled ice cubes.

MARKETING-  Zobo drinks are best marketed in working places, roadside shops, hangouts,  school cafeteria etc. A critical look observation of the places above shows that this drink is best marketed at places where people tend to stress a lot and need immediate cool down on short breaks,  they wont need a heavy meal would they?

I sent U a mail, let's talk am interstd

Ishilove:
What arrant nonsense. Our Lord Jesus talked about these kinds of people in Matthew 15 vs 9. He said- "In vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."

Who said you must be married in church before you can have conjugal relations with your spouse?? Who said you must be wedded in church before your marriage is blessed? Man, of course, not God. I recall the arena where Jesus performed his first recorded miracle was at a Jewish wedding in Cana.

When all traditional marriage rites are completed, a couple are legally married in the eyes of God, man and the law. It is us human being imposing man made restrictions, dogma and utterly ridiculous and carnal demands in the name of God.

I suggest people should research the history of white weddings before being swayed by all manner of false teachings.

Kudos to preachers like Pastor Chris Ojigbani who have long denounced these unscriptural and ignorant rules in the church.

U nailed it sir. Av been following Pastor Ojigbanis mssg since 2003: the man speaks nothing but the truth but those gullible followers won't listen ooooooo

BleSSedMee:
If you're a parent, chances are you've thought about birth order and how it affects your kids. Am I harder on my firstborn? Do my kids have a normal sibling relationship? Does the order in which the kids were born really matter in the long run?

Turns out it does. Scientists have done extensive studies on family make-up and how it affects not only how you parent, but your kids' health and personalities.


The following are some interesting facts about firstborns:



1. They're Born To Learn.

Is your oldest child a bit of a know-it-all? It could be because of their birth order. Firstborns really are born to learn, according to a 2013 study, published in the Journal of Research in Personality. Researchers at Belgium's Ghent University found that birth order actually affects a child's lifelong goals. The eldest child, they found, wants to "master" or "learn," while the second child tends to want to "win." It certainly goes hand-in-hand with number one, doesn't it? Other studies have also shown firstborns (and only children) tend to pick more academic-oriented careers as compared to their younger siblings.


2. They Are Skinnier.

That same study that found firstborns are at risk for diabetes also found eldest children tend to be taller and slimmer than their younger siblings. Why? Scientists think it comes down to the mother's uterus -- which changes after her first pregnancy.



3. They're Bossy ... If They're Females.

Not only did researchers at the Southern California Child Study Center find bossiness to be more prevalent in firstborns, but they found it to be based on gender, with eldest girls more likely to be domineering than eldest boys.


4. They're More Prone To Asthma And Allergies.

Does your eldest child have breathing issues? It might be because of their birth order! According to research presented at the American Thoracic Society's 2008 International Conference, genes act differently in firstborn kids, particularly the genes responsible for asthma and allergies!


5. They Have It The Hardest.

Tougher on your oldest child? You're not alone! When psychologists from Duke University and Washington University tackled the topic of parental rules and birth order, they found earlier-born siblings are more likely to be subject to strict rules and parental monitoring and more likely to face harsh consequences for wrongdoing than younger siblings.


6. Organised Organisers

Having spent time watching their parents do things in a more organised way than younger ones would; and having been asked countless times to coordinate their younger siblings in observing siesta or getting ready for some activity or the other, firstborns tend to be organised in their personal space whether it’s in their side of the room/wardrobe, in their academics and at work, later in life. It’s no wonder they do well in leadership positions.




Yays or Nays?

When your septic tank get filled tomorrow, you would also insist that the landlord should bear the cost of evacuation himself. Some tenants are troublesome. Assuming your landlord don't stay in the same compound with you, you would go drag him to come fix the water pump machine? I now see why it is fashionable these days not to share your premises with tenants. Build your small house and stay in peace, then build a house elsewhere to rent out and managed by agents to avoid tenants problem,

We bought a new water pump in my compound just last month and we the three tenants paid four thousand naira each while the landlord paid a slightly higher amount, there was no quarrel.

One of our source of problems here is that contracts terms are either shrouded, hardly spelt out or twisted to suit whoever. What is d #500 meant for? Is it Electricity consumption or Maintenance? But above all, May Almighty bless our hustle. This is d best advice; talking from experiences(learn to live in peace with Ur family while Tenants live under d supervision of Agents else U may not live long!!!

You nailed it Sir

Omo ale. If you are fighting with majority of the Yoruba monarchs, that means you are the proud one. Was he not same king that was accused of frauds in Canada? I mean yahoo yahoo king? Don't worry, in fact, you can invite Fulani herdsman to come and be chiefs and decision makers too in your kingdom. This is a type of a king that can sell his kingdom for money. No regard for any of his senior fellow..And he is the type that makes a won omo ajokuta mamumi, feeling funky, ( won oni pe show ni bi yi na).
Afonja cases never teach you lesson. By the time they are through with you and your people, they will put rope in your neck and turn you to dog, guiding their cows while you bark up and down.

Freemasonry is not a secret society,anyone can be a member just be an upright man with strict morals and be of good Standing in the society,then you are qualified to be a mason.
We have so many high and famous clergy men in our ranks and of course this men are upright and just men.

Opinionated:
By David Adeoye

In those days when many African nations first gained independence (and for the next two decades or so), jobs were plentiful. You hear tales of a graduate getting two or more job offers with a car and sometimes, a residential quarters to match. All on the bill of the employer.

After sometime, it was no longer sufficient to just have a first degree. Only a Master’s degree and or professional qualification would assure such a lofty start. However as the years passed and as both the society and the economy evolved, opportunities for ready jobs with “cool pay” started to dwindle. Attractive jobs in established organizations became competitive.
The economic resurgence of the late 1990s to the early 2000s came with a significant increase in the supply of graduate jobs. New businesses (banks, telcos, IT firms, investment firms, etc) rolled out across the economy on a rather massive scale. Once again, graduates became very much in-demand.

This time, the setting was slightly different: most of the employers were private businesses deploying their own capital, that of other shareholders, and of course borrowed funds from banks, and the bond market. Therefore, recruitment was largely on merit and retention was largely based on performance. Degrees and certificates, though required, had become less important.

In more recent years, the Nigerian economy has seen a marked reduction in the influx of big business. In reality, the economic conditions and our brand of political economy has constrained otherwise big businesses to shrink (in the name of right-sizing, restructuring, refocusing, and those other terms that start with the letter R but never mention retrenchment). Technology has also not helped the fate of the average graduate as a traditional worker, even while it presents immense opportunities for personal growth.

With the rise of technology, and challenging economic conditions, many new businesses now start small, and most older ones aim to be more efficient, more profitable, but not necessarily bigger (at least by headcount). At the same time, the capacity of establishment-type employers to expand their workforce is severely constrained. Budgetary allocations, grants, etc impose a limit.

What do all of this mean for today’s graduate? First, the era of establishment-type jobs with the perks that follow is largely gone. Secondly, today’s employers are far more performance and results-oriented than those of past decades where there was more emphasis on activity and presence. Thirdly, the demand on a graduate’s capacity to contribute at both individual and team level becomes the most important factor in to secure and retain gainful employment.

Now, if capacity to perform has become such a critical element, it is important to ask and get some valid answers to the question: what is the fundamental requirement to perform in a world of service and knowledge work? The answer, to my mind is three-fold: readiness to learn, willingness to work hard, and a disposition to work with others.

In other words, today’s graduate must be willing to accept a first degree for what it really is. Essentially, during the first degree, a person learns to reason and to relate. To build upon this foundation, the individual then has to submit himself or herself to a process of learning something meaningful, specific, and valuable to others. We call this apprenticeship. In the same way that fellows with less formal education have to choose a trade to which he is willing to apply himself or herself.

In the context of today’s work environment, the graduate must see herself first as an apprentice and put the ‘graduate thing’ in the background. An apprentice is first of all, “here to learn”. It’s not about the pay. Rather he’s paying his dues by being on time, attentive, responsive, and above all by being responsible to at least one person: the boss who is then responsible to one set of people: customers. The same way an apprentice aims to be successful at the trade, and not merely follow-the-money, today’s young person with a first degree will have to submit herself to the rudiments and demands of the business.

There are three main ingredients required for an apprentice to be successful: intelligence (or aptitude), interest, and intensity (or how well you apply yourself, call it hard work. On intelligence, there are various types of aptitude, some fellows are gifted with words, some with patterns, some with data, some with music etc. For example, it takes certain traits to be a good tailor or fashion designer. At the same time, not every young person can be a mechanic. In the same vein, not everyone who studied accounting would do well as an auditor. Natural talents provide some guidance for a choice of career.

The second point is interest: what would this young man or woman rather do or contribute to humanity? What drives you? How would you rather work? The combination of intellect and interest manifest in one thing: learning, What are you willing to learn. Permit me to ask in Yoruba: “As a graduate, ise wo l’ofe ko?”. Over the years, I’ve seen many examples that prove this is a far more practical approach than merely sitting, praying, and hoping. Prayer is good but we should direct it at something specific.

Still on knowledge, smartness does not equate to knowledge. You can be smart but empty about certain areas. We all have areas where we are empty. Where we know nothing because we never bothered to, or needed to learn. Many times, what is needed as per intelligence is just a threshold level of aptitude. Often, a more knowledgeable person with the threshold level of IQ would make far better decisions than an uninformed genius.

Lastly, for an apprentice to be successful, he or she must be willing, able, and ready to apply himself with persistence and perseverance. You need to believe the work is both valuable and worth doing. Pouring yourself into what you do, when you’re tired, when others are giving up, is one key trait of world champions. Apply yourself to what you do and someday, you would find yourself at the top.

In a nutshell, it’s not enough to be a graduate. We need to choose to learn something that is both meaningful and valuable and then begin to apply ourselves to what we learn. It may start in a small measure but it will surely lead somewhere great.
