black people from the sahel

E sure me say when God said let us create man in our own image, na white people they create. How black people take emanate remains a misery.

Pandev:
baba dodged the question. Religious people only believe in heaven and hell, they actually don't have concrete evidence of the existence.

Some people are already experiencing HELL in this earth while some are in Heaven.

internationalman:
You people must find a way to support these leaders that don't care about you.

Mind y'all Nigeria is not even in the top 30 biggest country by land mass.

Y'all are yarning dust saying media is making it seems like crime is everywhere. If anything, crime is underreported in Nigeria.

Not every crime is on media. Just last month alone there where 3 cases of kidnapping and 2 cases of ritual killings in my area in Benin which I've not seen anywhere on social Media.

Gbam!!! Nigerians are selfish. As long as they or their families are not affected. They probably believe the people that died did not pray or speak the blood over themselves before stepping out.

Queensfield:
You want it to be reflected on the whole country and exterminate every soul before you agree there's a security failure from your govt?!

Don't mind him. When you sell your soul to the devil, lying becomes natural.

That's why i am never in support of Pastors joining politics. They become part of the world and stop telling the truth.

Halo22:
I have been working in this company for about 8 years now and to be frank, I don't see any much improvement both financially and otherwise.

In addition to that, I noticed some degree of negligence and disregard for old staff, it seems the more years you spend in the company, the less value you accrue. However, I attribute that to the administrative incompetence of the Director who took over from the mum before she( the mum) finally joined her ancestors.

Recall that in April this year, she fired the General manager without any explanation to the rest of the staff, no staff meeting nor briefing. Shortly after that, she reshuffled the managerial team and employed 3 unknown persons who were never part of the company to take over the Management of the company, while she still remains the Director.

All these she did without any form of recourse to her old staff. I never bothered as an old staff until recently, when we started noticing some more incompetency in administration and management of the company. It rose to the extent that workers receive half salary sometimes without any briefing, allowances are not being paid and when they pay, they short pay us.

I couldn't hold it any longer as a man of justice and as such, I wrote to the Director after having meeting with the new GM. In my letter I expressed on behalf of other workers, the feelings of maltreatment and administrative Injustice, as most of them are afraid of opening up, to avoid being sacked.

Then after, the Director herself called for a general meeting and instead of to apologise for all these financial and managerial malfeaseances, she chose to tackle the old workers particularly myself, thinking that we were working against her. I still stood my ground on the path of Justice, finally she tried to pacify the workers by promising a salary increase, based on the number of years spent in the company. But then, I have been on her watchlist all through.

Any little mistake I make, she would capitalize on that to weigh me down. I now seek ur opinions, whether to continue in the company or resign. Good a thing, I have a business that even pay me better than the job.

Your opinions please.

You should have tread softly until you got another job. Before embarking on a battle, you study your opponent. Tackling a vindictive woman direct was not really wise. If you have side business that can sustain you, you can resign immediately. If not, get a job and leave. The way you wrote to Mgt sef when everyone else was afraid of getting sacked, be like say you get some small connection sef.

This thread was interesting and insightful. It reminded me of the debates in secondary school then.

The Nigerian Govt needs to write a letter of commendation to the Navy especially the officers involved. I think for now the Navy is more disciplined than both the Army and Police combined.

Trust50:
I'm a bakery owner with eighteen years experience. Infact we started like family business but we later settled ourselves. We are three out of four men in the business.
Currently, we are checking on other business to do as bakery isn't profitable again.
My dear, if I see any job that pays me #100.000.00 naira now I won't think twice but gladly accept the offer.
Don't leave your current job, you will surely regret

This is reality on ground. One needs to be careful. Motivational speakers are dangerous. There are important factors that need to be taken into consideration.

POTUS9ja:
My brother please listen to me. I'm a bakery owner and a master baker here in Uyo. I started the business in 2015. After I trained in the Living Faith Church Headquarters (Canaanland) Bakery and other local bakeries at Ota. After my training, I did not have the funds to start; so what I did will shock you. I started buying loaves from Canaanland and flying them via plane to Uyo to sell. That was how passionate I was. Who does that? Lol!

I eventually started my bakery small scale and within a year, it grew to become one of the best three brands in Uyo City. My secret was quality and good customer relations.

See enh! A lot is required of you if you must go into this business. This decision is not to be taken lightly. There are a mile-long reasons I can give you why you must not just saunter into it. Get yourself a professional for advice. You must know the enormity of the task ahead.

I speak this way from personal experience as an owner, baker and Consultant in this business.

But if I must give my candid and undiluted advice; now is NOT a good time to enter this business. As I speak to you, I have closed my factory for months now. Almost 40% of my colleagues have done same too.

This is Uyo I'm taking about. I don't know of your own base. Generally speaking, there has been a serious downturn of the business. Bakery business is lucrative despite it's huge challenges. But the reality on ground now is that we are no longer making money the way we used to. Why do you think the National body of Master Bakers have threatened to go on strike? Our materials are so costly now that we can no longer make profits. You will attest that prices of bread have hit the roof. As a result people can no longer afford bread as before. Consequently, sales have dropped for the few factories still managing to produce.

You will also notice that the quality of the bread you used to buy has dropped drastically. This is the only way the bakers can manage to make a little profit.

Personally I have refused to alter my quality just because I want to make sales. I have come too far to lose my position in the market. I reckoned that I rather take a hiatus than to temper with my bread quality that is so beloved by many.

I am not discouraging you o! But please seek the input of experienced practitioners or consultants.

If you were here in Uyo or neighbouring towns, I would have gladly helped.

Goodluck Amigo!

The best advice comes from people who are in the business. When people are running away from the business, is that the right time to start?

Better to have everything on ground so when things stabilize you hit the ground running. Not jumping into it now.

Cleanworld:
''What of'' Will never allow you to be great. Seven year on 100k salary? So what of if you are sack today? won't you find a way and start that business. if you can put all ego aside and handle that business like its for another person, it won't be long before you will get to your great height .

SO WHAT OF IF YOU STRATEGIZE AND ASK OTHER TO JOIN YOU BASE ON COMmISSION?

GO I SAY ....AND PROSPER NOW!

Aspire to Inspire. Na una dey lead person to grave.

LoveUdie:
My wife and I have been married for 6 years and have a son who is 4 years old.
She confessed to me that she has been having an affair for “about a year” with a guy from church and is around 6 weeks pregnant based off when she had her last period. The last time we had sex was yesterday, before that the last time was maybe 4 months ago. She told me that she pretty much only had sex with me because she thought maybe she could make it seem like the baby is mine.

From what I understand, she hasn’t told her affair partner that she is pregnant. She showed me the last texts between them (it looked like there were some that were deleted). He asked her to call him when she could, and he replied with she needed some space from him and to not contact her anymore. She told me she will end it officially with him and was crying begging me to forgive her. I told her that I needed space and went into our bedroom and locked the door (which is where I am now). I could hear her sobbing a little while ago but it sounds like she’s stopped.

I posted on relationship_advice and a lot of the replies were validating but not helpful for the kind of advice I need right now. I’m going to have to face her tomorrow morning and our son will be there. I don’t know what to say to her. I know he’s only 4 and I don’t know how much of this he will remember but I never want him to see me speak to his mother with anything except respect. I grew up with divorced parents who hated each other and I don’t want that for him. I don’t know how I feel about her right now, I’m too angry but I’m pretty sure things aren’t salvageable.

A Nigerian man asking advice about his wife’s infidelity? Lmao. Anyway, your child will survive if you part ways.

VeryWickedMan:
Take your son for DNA test. If positive, kill the mother.
If negative, kill both.

Use poison.


Modus operandi:
Smile a lot in the days leading up to this act.
Forgive her. Act like you've come to terms with the situation. If abortion is decided, support her. If successful, act relieved and happy. Behave well. Buy goodies for the family. Defend her furiously if attacked by nosy friends/family. Allow sufficient time to pass so you won't be suspected (months).


Strike.

What!! This is so funny.

This man is a big time fool.

They thought Boko haram will focus only on Christians. But an inferno doesn’t recognize anybody.

I don’t like reading news like this cos i feel panic building at the edge of my mind. Can’t imagine what the victims are going through.

SadiqBabaSani:
All will end in nothing.

I would Preffer they investigate Northern Nigeria Development Company NNDC and Several other corrupt laden agencies.

Since Buhari took over in 2015 he appointed over 80% of the Heads several agencies from the Northern Region, this people most of whom are currently looting with reckless abandon will not be brought to book if another 'Namu Namu neh' person take over Aso Rock.

Let there be mo sacred Cows, we need to investigate and prosecute, Anyone whether he be Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo when theh cross the line

Buhari just pack northerners put for juicy positions and no be say dem get sense. Cow brain all of them. Including the southerners wey him put.

isaacasak:
What about his pple in NNPC what is he doing to the and his so called northerner Malami and co

That’s his son in law. He don become untouchable.

Na now Efcc wake up.

This is how God should be working. People will be defrauded, killed, murdered, raped, kidnapped and the perpetrators will go Scot free. I don’t know why because Jesus came, God decided to just mellow. We need Old Testament action. If you commit, you collect. The days of Jehovah sharp sharp.

Are they really extremists or normal Muslims? Cos even ‘ordinary’ Muslims like Bashir Ahmed support death penalty for blasphemy. Dem no dey take their Prophet play o!!

superCleanworks:
she is well cared for already. my care or indifference makes no difference. Be human? have you ever fasted and prayed for those railway victims? Teach me how to be human. please furck off.

Go f*ck yourself. Did i mention fasting and praying for her anywhere in my post? Goat.

superCleanworks:
so what?
many families paying selling lands and taking loans to pay millions to kidnappers plus all the loved ones still in the bush just because they entered a train they paid for (over 4 months in the bush) and you want us to care about this? furrrrck off

All that doesn’t invalidate her pain. Be a human being!!!

I hope candidates for this election understand that Agriculture will thrive naturally in an enabling environment attractive to investors not expecting or forcing Nigerian youths to start farming. Because okada, Keke riding and Yahoo is now the order of the day.

EmiDior:
i dont know how to convince her that i am not satanist and meant no harm

Her or Him cos that moniker is male. Ayam not understanding.

God will frustrate the efforts of anyone who wan join EFCC to steal, blackmail, harass innocent civilians or share in recovered loot. After mumu police, na EFCC.

Peritome:
A man I know who was doing well in bakery just suddenly sold his bakery house with all the equipments therein.

I did confronted him on why he took such decision that we all see him as successful man in the business. He said, we won't understand & should forget what we are seeing outwardly that bakery business have gone south.

I hope all these ones still in business are not mixing their flour with something else. NAFDAC is not what it used to be.

dennis3888:
Good day everyone please i need your candid advise and opinion

Am about to leave my bank job of seven years with a salary of 100k for a new business note the business has already been set up already

my fears is that am married and you know what that means i have ready responsibilities. so am now having fears that what of it doesn't work (which have been praying about seriously).


probably the fears is just in my head. your opinion please

How much have you saved so far from your 100k salary? In case you experience difficulty in the bakery business, how long can you stay with nothing coming in without falling into depression? You need to think about that. It's good your wife is working so she can assist in case of anything sha.

But since you said the business has already been set up, maybe you can do evening/night baking and get a worker to handle distribution and everything else in the morning while you go to work. I believe you would have done your research about expenses, raw materials cost, power irregularity and all that.

liverpudian9:
That money wet u save get more to it and travel out forget bakery

This would have been a good suggestion but how much can he save from 100k in a year for travel purposes. Unless he has been saving all these years.

Peritome:
Have you carried out the feasibility study? In this administration, I'll advise you suspend such plan for now. Bakery items keep increasing daily if not weekly.

Bakers are crying in the news everyday about rising cost of production. At one time they even wanted to stop producing if i remember correctly.

Minjim:
Bakers are cashing out these days.

Imagine a loaf of bread for 1k. Bake 100. That 100k

Na so e easy!!! Haba!!

BobbieZion:
I have never liked this guy....

Buhari's appointees are brainless psycophants.

In 2015 kidnapping was not a normal occurrence that's why Chibok girls got so much attention and Jonathan was lambasted. Now thanks to APC and Buhari, kidnapping has extended to the east and south and they want to rule a second time. This is madness o! God please save us.

This made me laugh!!!!!
