Sagemomoh: The dude already said he was gonna die a tragic death.. it's nothing new.. but I'm having a thought that Drake pulled the hit on him.. they both had some fallouts sometimes back and then Drake dropped a new song a week ago and the lyrics is quite an eye-opener "Jump up out the bed like I’m possessed I go out on tour and I say I'm drinkin' less End up gettin' loose and gettin' pictures from my ex SMS, triple X That's the only time I ever shoot below the neck (skrr) Why you keep on shootin' if you know that nigga dead? (skrr) That's the only kind of shit that gets you some respect" for those who don't know what SMS means.. it is SEND MY SHOOTERS. Don't ask me how I know this. And triple X is XXXtenciacion.. Skkrr is another way of mimicking the sound of shooting a gun.. go figure Those lines are indeed symbolic, but I doubt drake would have such time for the guy knowing fully well he has been ignoring the guy's jab all this while, if it were to be the game then know for sure he did it. Although some loyalists of drizzy that have affiliates with a rival gang can decide to do that for drake n for the gang. This murder is simply a hood gang thing. Rip to him tho! |

Business › Re: 3 Simple Businesses Mothers Can Do From Home To Make A Consistent Monthly Income by Pentools(m): 6:43pm On Jun 18, 2018 |
bellaberry: As a way of giving back for the awesome things I’ve learnt right here on nairaland, I’ve been intending to write a little article on profitable businesses that people (particularly married women) can do from the comfort of their homes, but I’d been putting it off due to one engagement or the other.
Well, something bad happened in my compound last night (dirty fight between a husband and wife – story for another day) and I got spurred to write and post this here like yesterday.
Why am I writing this particularly for the married women?
It’s because I’ve realized (from personal experience and from talking to other couples) that after infidelity, money issues is the next biggest thing that causes strain, tension and break-ups in marriages.
If it’s not the woman asking for too much, it might be the man getting to such a point where financial strain takes the best of his temper and he’d start to unknowingly react to things the wrong way – leading to fights.
Believe me, I’ve been there, so I know where the shoe pinches.
For this reason, I am going ahead to share 3 profitable businesses that women like me (married or unmarried) can engage in that will enable them make enough personal income to independently sustain themselves.
If you can get just one these businesses right, you will be making enough and wouldn’t have to be running to your husband (or boyfriend) for money over little things.
To be honest, the men are trying. Let us (women) also try for ourselves. We’d be helping them to help ourselves, as well as get to keep a happy home, by so doing.
Without further talks, let’s jump right into it.
1. e-Currency Exchange Business:
This one is a very big one, albeit a risky one too – high returns goes with high risks, right?
The business involves buying digital currencies (paypal, bitcoin, payoneer, skrill, neteller, etc) from people looking to sell (mostly people who are into freelancing) and then add some margin on top (sometimes as high as N10 to N15) and resell to people who need these digital currencies for one reason or the other.
Example of people who need these currencies are importers looking to send money to china, students overseas looking to pay their fees, shippers looking to pay their logistics company, etc.
While adding just N10 might seem small on the surface, imagine buying $1,000 payoneer (for example) and sell to an importer with a margin of N10, that’s a profit of N10,000 you’ve made.
Getting the big picture now?
How to get started:
Open a thread on nairaland advertising your exchange services, then go to popular threads where freelancers hang out on nairaland like this one and [url=http//www.nairaland.com/2947212/exclusive-how-make-level-2]this one[/url] and offer to buy their money. Then you can sell on your thread.
The Challenges:
The challenges you will face in this particular business is that you might find it a big challenge to gain trust of freelancers. They might be scared of selling their funds to you.
2. Private Tutoring:
This is another easy business that you can do from the comfort of your home to make some money. Apparently, this one does not require much explanation.
All that’s needed here is to let parents around your neighborhood know that you offer after-school extramural lessons, and they will be coming to drop their kids after school with you. You can take the kids on Maths and English language.
The amount you charge per kid depends on a lot of factors, but the most important is the kind of neighborhood you are offering this services.
When I used to do this about a year ago, I used to charge N10,000 per child for a month, and believe me, parents happily paid that amount – they knew I was giving quality.
If you do this right, you can be generating a steady 30k to 50k monthly income. This should be able to take care of some of your needs as a woman.
How to Get Started:
Start by talking to parents around your area. Tell them that you have just started an after-school lesson program and that if they are interested in giving their children quality foundation, they can bring them over. Tell them your pricing and all.
You can take this a step further (like I did) and print a short advert and paste it around. Black and white ink on A4 paper should be enough. Nothing too fancy.
The Challenges:
It might be difficult finding a good number of kids to start off with. Also, depending on your area, you might not be able to find a good number of interested parents that will give you substantial amount of monthly income.
3. Data Reselling Business:
This is the one I am currently running at the moment after trying my hands on different things. I find this one to be stress-free, as well as very viable with minimal risk.
In case you are wondering what the business is all about, it is basically buying data at wholesale prices, adding a margin on top and then selling on retail.
If you are active on nairaland, you must have been seeing threads where people offer 1 GB of MTN Data that’s normally sold at N1,000 by the network at prices like N700. Those people are doing data reselling business.
The data that’s been sold at N700 is bought at a rate of N500 to N550 (depending on your source), meaning that they make a profit of about N200 to N150 per GB of data sold.
Imagine being able to sell data to 10 people a day. That’s a cool N1,500 to N2,000 profit in one day doing nothing but transferring out data from your phone. And I am actually being very conservative with my maths here. If you know how to go about your marketing in a smart way, you can easily make 20 to 30 sales daily. With that, a monthly profit of N80k to N100k is doable.
How to Get Started:
You can either go just the MTN SME data sharing route, where you’d be dealing directly with MTN, and selling MTN data only. For this, you’d need to put up some amount of money upfront, and you’d be limited to MTN alone.
The real deal breaker here for me is the need to be operating multiple sim cards when your client base starts growing. To overcome this challenge, instead of buying directly from MTN or other networks, you can be buying from third party online platforms that also sell to you at wholesale prices and then resell.
Examples of these platforms?
Sorry I can’t recommend any of these platforms to you, as most of the popular ones do have issues with money not being credited, airtime not being delivered to your clients, etc and I won’t want to be held liable or responsible when such issues happen.
Just do your research and you’d find out some platforms. Hope you understand my reasons though.
Challenges:
I’ve already mentioned some challenges to this business above; the messy need to be switching between multiple sim cards, bad third party providers, etc. However, these are not the biggest issues.
See, this business is VERY profitable (and I highly recommend you start with this business, rather than the other two) but as it is with every other business out there, there are obstacles you have to jump in other to reap the fruits.
One of such obstacles you are likely to face when starting out this business is the problem of trust. Being that you will be selling data to people over the internet, due to some unscrupulous agents turning the data reselling business into a scam-fest, it can be challenging getting people to believe you will deliver. Due to this, you’d have to find a way to position your services such that it will look credible in the eyes of your prospective clients.
Another bigger issue with this business is the crazy competition that exists. You’d have to employ smart marketing techniques to beat the competition – I don’t mean simply opening multiple threads on nairaland to “hawk” your merchandise.
See, though this is the easiest and most profitable business in this list that women (or anyone else reading this) can start with, but then your marketing will make or break you.
Marketing is where most people in this business who are not making up to N20k a month are getting it wrong, and this is where I was getting it all wrong back when I started that I got frustrated with making not up to 10k profits a month, and felt like quitting.
That was a couple of months back then…
Now, I have gone on to learn a lot of advanced marketing tips and tricks that has helped me unlock a blue ocean of clients. Getting clients has never been so easy for me. I now average around 95k to 120k per month doing just this business.
You can do it too. Just get started, remember, innovation is the keyword to make it big with this business.
Conclusion:
There you have it. 3 big businesses any woman can do from the comfort of her home so as to build a consistent monthly income. Now, reading this alone and sitting around wishing won’t put money in your bank account. You’d have to get off your chair and TAKE ACTION if you want to see results.
Wishing you success as you make the decision to take action to get that very well deserved financial independence.
See you at the top!
cc: lalasticlala Nice one bellaberry, I must commend your detailing approach, truth be told I was expecting to see frying akara, hair dressing, sewing, designing n co....that's a wonderful list you have there. However, the home lesson is quite lucrative but you doing yours for 10k is quite CHEAP, the least I know people collect is 30 per month, it's quite great but hectic when you have other stuffs doing. Meanwhile I'd like to learn the 3rd tip, do you mind teaching? Thanks! |

Celebrities › Re: Daddy Freeze Comes For Chimamanda Adichie Over Feminist Comment by Pentools(m): 5:35pm On Jun 18, 2018 |
Infonews4: Nigerian controversial OAP and self proclaimed Bible teacher Daddy freeze took to instagram to air his views on a statement popular feminist and novelist Chimamanda Adichie made recently.. It could be recalled that while on the Today Show, Chimamanda had said, “I think gestures like holding the door shouldn’t be gender-based. I’m quite happy for people to hold the door for me. But I hope they’re not doing it because of this sort of idea of chivalry.
“Because chivalry is really about the idea that women are somehow weak and need protecting. But we know that really, there are many women who are stronger than many men.”
Well this was what daddy freeze had to say "Dear Chimamanda, yesterday, while driving home from our online church service held on the radio, I saw a broken down danfo bus. All the women remained on the bus, while the men assisted the conductor in pushing the bus, as the driver tried his best to jump-start it. - Seeing this, I realized that no matter how hard you try to propagate your feminist ideology, your own gender will continue to let you down because of both nature and nurture. - In the #FreeNation in Christ, despite the Bible leaning otherwise (the Bible is a sexist book, whether it pleases you or not), we propagate equality and gender neutrality to as far a degree as logic allows it. - However, it takes wisdom to know the extent to which we can tamper with the innate characteristics of both genders, without stirring up unwanted consequences. - The other day you spoke of chivalry in a cute way, although your understanding of the word seemed questionable, your motives were nonetheless benign. Howbeit, the shortcomings of your ideologies were highlighted by an Dana Loesch, American activist who reminded you that the issue of genital mutilation, where Nigeria occupies a top rank, should be a greater priority for you and by me after the Danfo bus incident I witnessed yesterday, which led me to the deduce that women have the congenital contention that men must bear the greater weight of a physical burden. - Another situation I implore you to delve into, is the fact that women occupy a pivotal role in religious brainwashing, as most of the false churches and charlatan GOs use them as a ‘point of contact’ to enslave their husbands and children, lending credence to Willie Lynch’s letter, ‘The making of a Slave’ where he stated: “special attention must be placed on females” and “CONCENTRATE ON THE FUTURE GENERATION. Therefore, if you break the female mother, she will break the offspring in the early years of development!” ~FRZ

MYND44 LALASTICLALA FYNESTBOI Na only grammar this freeze guy sabi speak. But he made a huge n very valid point here tho, most importantly he should desist from dragging in religious leaders in his messages. |

Rohr is overrated, I believe he won't blame this one on NFF or soccer politics like his predecessors, cus he was provided with literally everything he needed regarding the World Cup.
Why can't he support ighalo with iheanacho if ighalo must play and must mikel play 10 whereas he's known for sleeping on the ball, why can't mikel go back to four n iwobi should replace him. Rohr abi na Roar lacks tactics entirely.
Nigeria n her coach did everything WRONG. The one n only right thing Nigeria did is that they've finally replaced the infamous BBN poo from littering all over the social media n most especially Nairaland, and that's way better off and relatively satisfactory. |
