Career › Re: Tosin Eniolorunda, CEO Moniepoint & The Unemployability Of Nigerians By Adetula by OverCalculating(f):
In as much as I appreciate the central message in this post, I don't really want us to take all the messages seriously because there is more to it than what is presented for us to read.

Please, my intention is neither to personally attack the writer nor the poster but to let us think deeply and look at the bigger picture.

Are you aware that recently, Opay is listing on the USA stock exchange, claiming to worth over $4 Billion in value? Not only Opay, the same pattern is observed with Moneipoint, Flutterwave, Paystack and even Jumia (our popular e-commerce platform). These are companies that started operating in Nigeria not up to 10 years now.


Now, the question is, what do these companies have in common? They all started from Lagos, Nigeria and they grew so big that they believe it is very difficult for Nigeria to handle them anymore. They have forgotten that we made them who they are today, so instead of listing on Nigeria Stock Exchange, then enable Nigerians to benefit from investing in their stocks, they decided to take the profit sharing abroad. It is a long story, in case you need more information on this, I implore you to do your research.

Now, back to the Fintech and the case of unemployability of Nigerians. This is not a new thing globally. This is the same lie that many companies lie anytime they want to attract investors. They will roll out recruitment campaigns and create the feeling that they want to expand. Some may even advertise that they are recruiting 5000 employees nationwide. It is a lie, they want foreign investors to commit more funds in their business expansion. We all know the business model of Opay, Moneipoint and other new Fintechs that I mentioned above, they do not need to employ more people to run their business effectively. They are already running billions on transactions with a very minimal number of staff...so what is the need to recruit more people?

The way forward shouldn't be for us to accept their lies that our people are not employable. Instead, let's do what the UK government did to Uber and Lyft. Let's ask our government to compel them to be flexible with their recruitment and operations to absorb more Nigerians into the system and let their tax be reviewed accordingly.


Thanks so much for understanding. I come in peace ✌️.
Family › When A Man Allows His Financial Affairs To Be Controlled By His Wife... by OverCalculating(op): 1:55pm On May 07
When a man allowed his financial affairs to be controlled by his wife, it means surrendering, it means everything...


In case you don't know, the $280 Million fortune that is controlled by Jet Li's wife is already a great deal for many women out there.

Before he married her, she was the Miss Asia and a retired actress. When he married her, he was proud to reveal her to the world as his financial manager.

T@he Martial arts legend, Jet Li proved that his wife, Nina Li, a former Miss Asia and retired actress, manages all his finances, including his $280 million fortune. Despite this, Nina avoids luxury items and focuses on caring for her husband and their family.

The couple met during the filming of Dragon Fight in 1988 and married in 1999 after 11 years of dating. They have two daughters together, and Nina has successfully handled several investments for her husband while keeping a low profile.

Jet Li once joked that he doesn’t carry cash or credit cards, relying on his wife, his financial manager for money. Nina values a simple life, staying out of the spotlight and prioritizing her family.

That could be the reasons her husband made huge success. A lot of women today may go as far as divorcing their husband because of his wealth and their insatiable quest for more money.

Like Nina, another person that comes to mind is Folashade Okoya. Although she was young when she got married to her Billionaire husband, she didn't let the wealth get into her head by living a flamboyant life or thinking of outshining her co-wives. Instead, she helped the man to grow his businesses by being her Finance manager.

This is a special message for all couples out there. Men should learn how to trust and surrender their Financial Control to their wives at certain stage in life and the wives should not betray the trust by craving for frivolity.

Politics › Re: Here Is Why President Tinubu Reversed Obasa's Impeachment In Lagos State by OverCalculating(f): 8:41pm On Apr 30
WizardOfNG:
Correct talk. Lived most of my life (from early teens) in the UK. Relocated to Naija a few years ago to establish a few businesses that are now doing well.

I am the envy of all my friends in the UK who visits Nigeria regularly and love the near excellent work, leisure and life balance Lagos offers if one is doing well that I enjoy full-time whereas they are miserable because of poor weather and lives that feel designed for work and paying bills alone in UK and Europe.

For one thing, you will never be able to buy land in London and build your dream home whereas I have purchased 4 different plots of land (minimum 500 SQM) of land in Lagos Island that have climbed up to 600% in value over 3 years.

Leisure , nightlife and dining etal, is the best in Lagos and far superior to anything Europe has to offer. I have a driver in the week and drive myself weekends. I dare not contemplate employing a driver in the UK. Not affordable.

A productive week ends with me driving to one of the nice resort around Lagos on Friday (La Campagne Tropicana Beach Resort being one of my favourite) with any slim-thick beauty free that weekend.😎

People should not even get me started on food which Nigeria has the best of in the whole world, courtesy of sheer variety and being near organic, and I say this as a well-travelled sea food lover (very expensive in Europe) who has visited at least 25 nations of the world in and out of Africa.

This is why I keep telling some here on NL to focus on developing themselves and becoming successful instead of going around crying every day barking rabidly at every rich and successful person.

You want Seyi Tinubu lynched and Yusuf Buhari exiled but never understand their father conquered generational poverty the family now enjoys.


As someone who has lived a majority of his life in the west, I can say with 💯 % certainty that it is the poorer quality of Lebanese, Indians, Brits, Korean, Chinese, Americans etal who come to Nigeria to make money.

Tell young Nigerians to focus more on being solutions-providers, rather than being negative alone and always, so they can utilise the opportunities foreigners are trooping in to take advantage of and they insult you as is done to me daily here with "data boy" and "Tinubu hireling" slurs.


How many Lebanese, Chinese etal do you see suffering in Nigeria despite the fact many are not better off (education or ability-wise) than Nigerians?

The difference is that they see the myriads of opportunities on offer in States like Lagos, unavailable in their own nation, that most Nigerians, wallowing in misery and self-pity, can never spot.

Look at Fouani LG that is Lebanese-owned franchise authorised to sell LG electronics in Nigeria and West Africa.

I have already worked out a model with a British electronic firm to do similar and will market our Stores ( 2 to begin with in Lagos and Ogun State initially) under the banner of that firm.

I am not even deploying 5% of my own money. All I brought to the table was a mind that is open, optimistic, ambitious and can spot solutions.

Lagos has 23 million folks. It is one of the biggest consumer market in Africa. It is not difficult to raise finance for genuine and profitable niche ideas leveraging on taking even 10 Naira each , regularly, from a good percentage of that 23 million.

Today, I only go back and forth to the UK. Love the nation but can never ever live there or in any Western nation. Living in Nigeria and Lagos, these past few years, has opened my eyes to the real beauty of life.

If I want a holiday outside Nigeria, I will head to Seychelles, Kenya, Mauritius, Madagascar, Cape Coast Ghana , Gambia etc but never the West haven done Spain, USA, Europe etal to death in my twenties and cannot now justify comparing them to some African nations for pure pleasure, beautiful people, food, nature and financial cost.


The sooner Nigerian young men and women begin focusing on developing themselves and gaining solutions-provision skills, instead of moaning all day and waiting on government, the closer a fab life is. A fab life that delivers two fab things. Personal success and contribution to the success of your nation.

Nigerians, stop being so frigging negative. "Lagos smells" etc. Yet Idris Elba and Didier Drogba proclaimed it "most fabulous city in the world".

I am amazed when unexposed and bitter haters slag off Lagos. Is it me who has been a londoner majority of his life, and has visited New York and many top cities of the world, who does not know what a great city is?

Od course Lagos has problems but also a lot of positives too . Why then not get skills to make Lagos etal better, as young people elsewhere in the world would do, instead of always highlighting negatives alone?


Below is a Ugandan social media personality gushing about Abuja. Yet all you people know is negativity, bitterness and insults.

Just remember you have one life to live. You can remain bitter throughout that one life or try to achieve, succeed and be happy so that when God calls you, you leave the world with a smile on your face.

Politics › Re: YAYI OGUN 2027 Campaign Fundraising: List Of Donors Released {#1.01 Billion} by OverCalculating(f): 1:51pm On Apr 30
How come there are more individual names than corporate names and Association/Social Group names. I am sure that the account information wasn't well circulated. This would have been a great opportunity for many business men and contractors in Ogun State to shoot their shot at getting state recognition.


On another note, I think this is commendable. I appreciate the transparency. I can recall that something similar was organized by Omoyele Sowore's campaign team some years ago. Despite all the money generated for his political party campaign fundraising, from Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora, there wasn't any transparency about the money raised. In fact, at a point, the party chairman and other executive members of the party started accusing Sowore for not being transparent about the funds generated. He was even alleged to be lodging in expensive hotel (of about over 500k to 750k per night) with nice treat...

Imagine a pathological critic being caught in the web of what he often criticises others about. After all, na human being we all be. Nobody holy pass.

franchasng:
I love how you presented your points and how you maturedly countered my own points without resorting to insults and invectives like others from your region that support Tinubu, who made us the atomic bombs we Peter Obi supporters are today.


Igbos having a stake in Lagos state is natural, it happens anywhere in the world where people become dominant and visibly active in a community, or even nation. Gradually they will naturally become part of the politics of that community. Igbos will do more than that without complain if Yorubas lived in any Igbo state in large numbers and contribute immensely to the growth of that community. It's a natural thing nobody can stop except xenophobic and tribalistic people who usually feel threatened by none indigenes taking up political positions in their community.



So it's not just Tinubu's doing. Igbos did same in the North before the war. Yorubas are doing same in London and in some other places in Canada and even Ireland. It's a natural thing. The greatest test of Tinubu's personality when it comes to tribalism and nepotism was after he was sworn in as President, not during his tenure as Lagos state Governor.


Obasanjo is a naturally born detribalized man, you don't need to defend him or explain to none Yorubas to accept Obasanjo as a detribalized man and leader. Tinubu is not one, please let's not drag it further because I am very tired after a long flight.

I am responding to you because of how mature, civil and enlightened you sound, if not I would have ignored your comments, so keep it up.


As for the other points, Peter Obi have his own strategy. Goodluck said something spectacular when he was President. He said using EFCC or ICPC to be chasing people around, harassing and arresting them, especially opposition or critics is not the best way to fight corruption. He said the best way to fight corruption is to block the loopholes and all the channels through which people in political positions and government offices steal money and by reducing human interference in government processes.


Dr Ngozika Okonjo-Iweala said the same thing. Reason they started the BVN, the single treasury account (TSA), and others.


But Tinubu and Buhari believe in show man to make people see them as strongmen.


Peter Obi na rock, una never understand sha, go and ask Anambra godfathers and criminals how far. Peter Obi may have a tiny or feminine voice and gentle man's look, that man is tougher than Tinubu when it comes to using constitutional authority vested in him. Peter Obi have been in the private sector for decades, he has played the game, nobody, not even Dangote can outsmart him. If he says he would remove petrol subsidy in phases to ensure it doesn't shutdown the economy like it did under Tinubu, he knows what he is saying and will definitely do it. Una no know Peter Obi and why some of us are supporting him.


Igbos will not benefit much if Peter Obi becomes President. To be honest with you, outsiders like Northerners, youths from all regions will benefit more from Peter Obi's Presidency than Igbos would but many don't know


When Peter Obi was Anambra Governor, his community people thought it was their turn to share in the government money and contracts so they started trooping into the government house thinking they would be favored as Governor's people. To their amazement, Peter Obi warned them all and told them that only if you merit to get a contract is when you will get it and that you must follow the due process like others. He said the same to his own blood brother. Tinubu can never do that instead he considers his family members, his Lagos boys, Yorubas and his cronies first to the detriment of the rest of Nigerians and reason Nigeria has been turned upside down


I am really tired, I wished to explain more things to you but let me stop here
Find a quiet place to listen to this audio visual material below and let me know what you feel afterwards. cool grin wink

So, what has he got in his political resume to impress anyone or even condemn any government? He was appointed as Minister of Interior for how many years without any impact...I didn't even know the role of a Minister of Interior other than announcing Public Holidays when he was in power.

Business › Re: What’s The Smartest Way To Get Small Jobs Or Clients In Nigeria Today?” by OverCalculating(f): 5:38pm On Apr 14
AsmartDigitals:
I’ve been thinking about how difficult it is these days for people to find quick jobs or even small gigs in Nigeria.

Not everyone is looking for a full-time job. Some people just want:

Daily income opportunities
Part-time work
Flexible gigs to support themselves

But the problem is, most platforms either:

Focus only on full-time roles
Are too complicated to use
Or don’t really connect people to real opportunities

Recently, I started exploring a solution called Asmart, and the idea behind it is quite interesting — it focuses more on connecting people to real, everyday opportunities in areas like services, small businesses, and flexible work.

I’m still observing how it works, but it got me thinking…

👉 Do you think Nigeria needs more platforms focused on daily/part-time jobs instead of just corporate roles?
👉 And what has your experience been trying to find or offer small jobs?

Let’s discuss.
It will be the new way forward in Nigeria. People are now getting to know that there is a huge difference between job and gigs. Some busy restaurants can have offers for dish washing gigs which is not really a full time job per say. Baby sitting gigs, driving gigs, cleaning gigs and many others can be added. Above all, try to look in the direction of remote gigs. Most remote gigs online now are not in Nigeria, people assess them by using proxy, however, if there could be a platform that small business owners can confidenly go in Nigeria to get skilled people who can do remote graphics design, writing, digital marketing, social media advertising, data entry and analysis for them, it will make some projects a lot easier for people. I hope this helps.

Business › CBN Introduces Tougher BVN Rules: What May Affect Your Account From May 1, 2026. by OverCalculating(op):
What You Should Know


As the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is set to roll out a new set of Bank Verification Number (BVN) guidelines from May 1, 2026, there are key rules every account holder must have knowledge of before the deadline.

The framework introduces tighter controls on phone number changes, device usage, and transaction limits.

The move by the apex bank is to curb fraud, strengthen identity protection, and safeguard Nigeria’s financial system.



Mobile Banking App

Mobile banking apps will now be restricted to one device at a time. Logging into your banking app on a new device will automatically deactivate access on the previous one and trigger additional authentication checks.


Fraud Watchlist Window

Banks are now required to place any BVN linked to suspicious activity on a temporary 24-hour watchlist. During this period, affected accounts may be restricted or frozen while the bank contacts the customer for verification.



Phone Number Change

Under the new rules, customers can now change the phone number linked to their BVN only once in their lifetime. The policy targets rising cases of SIM-swap fraud, where criminals take over phone numbers to gain access to bank accounts. Customers are advised to link their BVN to a secure, long-term phone number—preferably one already tied to their National Identification Number (NIN).


Minimum Age Limit

The CBN has set 18 years as the minimum age for BVN enrollment. This means minors will no longer be allowed to hold independent BVNs. Instead, parents and guardians must rely on structured banking products designed for children to manage funds on their behalf.


Transaction Capping

Customers activating their banking apps on a new device will face a temporary transaction limit of ₦20,000 within the first 24 hours. This restriction acts as a safety buffer, ensuring that even if an account is compromised during setup, the amount that can be moved is significantly limited.


What You Should Do Before May 1:

Customers are urged to take proactive steps to avoid disruptions:

Confirm your BVN-linked phone number: Ensure it is active, secure, and permanently yours.

Update details early: If you must change your number, do so before the deadline to avoid being locked into the one-time limit.

Be prepared for stricter login processes when switching phones or reinstalling banking apps.

Under the new rule, financial institutions must establish and maintain a temporary watchlist for BVNs linked to suspicious transactions reported within the banking system.

At times, what your child actually need in order for you to see the changes that you expect is not actually the school. School is just basically for your child to socialize with other children. To actualize an effective learning goal, you may need the service of a professional home tutor who would pay closer attention to your child on a one-on-one learning structure. The tutor would assess your child and work in line with your expectations to meet your basic needs. I may recommend a suitable tutor for your child at your location if you want.

If landlord doesn't approve of it, the common sense thing to do is to request the tenant to remove them. Correct?

Instead he got some people to forcibly remove them, and they got damaged in the process.

Learn a lesson here, wether the story was true or not.

Science/Technology › In 1988,Damian Anyanwu Was Fed Up With Being A Nigerian & His Case Was Justified by OverCalculating(op): 1:13pm On Mar 26
In 1988, Damian Anyanwu said he was fed up with being a Nigerian and his case was justified.


His travails started in the 1970s when he announced that he had built a radio station whose key component was local herbs. He named his invention Radio Mbaise, but many people dismissed him as a mãd man.

According to a Prime People feature in 1988:

The radio station could transmit sound to audiences within a two-kilometre radius. Engineers at the Imo Broadcasting Service initially dismissed him as “mentally deranged.”

He grabbed newspaper headlines for his work anyway and attracted interest from an American organisation that asked him to relocate and become a citizen. However, his family and other prominent Nigerians persuaded him to turn down the offer.

According to reports, what followed, he claimed, was a long trail of frustration.

First, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka promised to place him on grade level fourteen if he could produce an intercom. After he succeeded, he was placed on grade level eight instead and eventually forced to quit.

Next, the Sam Mbakwe administration in the late 1970s announced he would receive a research grant, but Imo State officials frustrated the process and he never got anything.

Then, the Enugu-based Project Research Development Agency (PRODA), under the Shehu Shagari government, announced a ₦12,600 research grant for him, but he received only ₦10,000.

Between the 1970s and 1980s, Damian claimed he invented a VHF device that could transmit pictures and voice simultaneously, a walkie-talkie, a body contact microphone, and a new super emulsion paint made largely from local materials.

But he repeatedly faced resistance from institutions, especially PRODA, which wanted to scrutinise his work without agreeing to his request for patent rights first.

By 1988, he said he was fed up with being Nigerian and regretted rejecting the U.S. offer to leave the country and pursue his work in a more supportive environment. At that point, he was ready to accept citizenship from “any country” that would have him.
He passed away on July 14, 2020 after a brief illness.

My own two cents regarding this, if there's a local chief or estate chairman or landlord association in that area go make a complain with them immediately first, but report the agent to police, this will facilitate a timely action on the issue, lawyer this and that may prolong the issue. This is Nigeria and not the UK, many landlords especially in Lagos no send lawyers.. Do not consent to any form of installment payment plan because that is not how you paid, if you do, you only get 2 times payment and say bye bye to the rest. Therefore I will suggest you get the local chief, estate chairman or landlord association involved immediately. And report that agent in the police station, get a decent officer to follow you and invite the guy to the police station, make him understand you are not arresting him but merely seeking resolution to the predicament, so with the help of the police they can reason with the landlord. Him and his wife matter has nothing to do with you.. Do not go over there trying to listen to explanation, you will be taken advantage of, either by plight or by force. If you waste time more than few weeks. Say bye bye to any reasonable resolution Shikena.
I don't really see what the CDA chairman or Estate Chairman has got to do with this issue.

There is what we call OSTENSIBLE AUTHORITY

If Landlords wife had the keys and the authority to show the house and hand over the keys to you, the law often views her as having "ostensible authority" to collect rent.

The Landlord’s dispute or issue with his wife regarding how she spent the money is not your legal burden or concern.

Eleru gbe eru e (who get load carry your load).

Oga, no gree for any refund oooo or installment payments. Like this, dem don by case, serious one. Go back and have full conversation again with them if the first one is not recorded, make sure you video record the apartment the landlord locked up too.
Make the evidence sharp like pussycat eyes.
Proceed to the Magistrate court and get a lawyer right there to help you file a suit.

1. Recovery of your rent, caution fee excluding agent fee as the Landlord don talk say e no rent him house out....this is not even a case of denying you possession, he is trying to claim you did not rent the apartment from him as the owner and you should collect your money back from the wife

Who does that?

2. Transportation cost for your LOAD 250K

3. You slept on the street since yesterday cos you don't have money for accomodation

Health Damages 20 Million Naira

4. Emotional Damage 15 Million Naira

5. Special Images 13 Million Naira

6. Legal cost, 2 Million Naira

Case start

Don't pack the load ooo

Leave it there with them. Till when case ends. At the Point you want to pack the Load after first case don end, another claim...

You can't find your gold ring worth 7 Million Naira again


Another case start...

Ignorance of the law is no excuse
The best advice so far.

With AI in remote job tracking, it will be almost impossible to do multiple remote jobs, as there will be tools in place to track your time on tabs, etc.

The aim would be to find a good-paying remote job and enjoy your time.
Yes, you are right. What many people don't seem to know is that there is a difference between remote jobs and gigs. A job would require proper interview and actual job recruitment processing. Then, you would be rewarded with a wage or salary periodically. Most jobs come with benefits like health package, vacation package and some have commission attached. As for gigs, you can get paid as soon as you reach the threshold. You can do as many gigs as you have the capacity to do them and you get rewarded accordingly. Most gigs come in form of filling survey forms, visual and audio automation, transcription, voice recording, data entry, etc.
