I am a female mechanical Engineering graduate from the university of Benin with a second class upper honours currently working at............ (I wouldn't like to state as I have previously created a nairaland post of how I hate my job). Although u didn't really state what type of company you will be creating, I would still like to convince u on how I can fit into any sector that requires my skills /expertise.
I would like to work with a fast paced company that would constantly challenge me to be better. I am hardworking, dedicated, a team player and have the basic computer and programming skills.
I can offer my computer/technical /numerical knowledge to whatever company you decide to start.

Nice, why should anyone, me the potential customers pay for your services, what value specifically do you have to offer?


Sorry, il eply to all inquiries a little late I am a little busy.

TheSlyone2:
You want my idea, you gotta pay for it. Nothing goes for nothing, even in free town. Your post read " I am hiring". You have absolutely nothing in place except of course the capital, if your submission is something to go by. For genuine and serious investment, the investor which in this case is you, should have thought over the possible areas he can invest in even before the money comes. By so doing, he will ends up building a carrier in an area where his passion lies. Entrusting your investment decisions in the hands of unemployed graduates sounds cool but the question is how many of them can employ?

Let's not fool ourselves OK, many will give you a hint or two, in anticipation to get on board only to be ignored later. Again, we are aware you haven't really thought of the area to based your investment on but I believe you have thought of how much you wanna pay this graduates. So how about you answer this, what can you offer??

Bro this move is more of a patriotic one, because I am not in pressing need of money. I currently have a job abroad but I want to help back home with a start up, It not like I dont have other options, I do.I had a short spell in investment banking and I own quite some stocks, I also have family and friends into bulk buying and selling (importers) I could easily make money by investing in their businesses, but no, i want to get people to work.i want to make people happy no matter how little the no, but I am not looking to loose money either and I have mapped out $20k for this. What I pay my workers would depend largely on what they can offer.

Poorboy:
going by what you just wrote I think you should give a clue on what you waNna start but my type of business idea is what could bring daily income and a net turnover of huge proFit

I dont want your ideas bro, I want your skills. My target are fresh/recent school leavers not necessarily university, persons who actually have something to offer and can explain it. A driver for instances, its very clear what a driver does.
If you all have very super ideas then you are almost rich because Ideas are priceless, it is worth more than money. You need to go to your bank, community, age group, pastor ot family members with your super ideas and ask for funds...if they see that you got a good plan at least one of this set of people is bound to invest in you, if for nothing for returns. Cheers!

babemutt8813:
Please my husband is in need of a job, either driving job or any other one please he has only school cert, he has a valid driver's license and and he has been working has driver for more than six years ago before they retrench some workers at his working place. He has been staying at home for more than three months now. Please if you need a driver my number is 09032146129. I will tell him thank sir

Noted..but the need for drivers would arise much later.

fbtowner:
Lol. Just like that. U want people's idea.


intelligent people won't take u serious

I dont want peoples ideas, on the contrary I want to know what they can do. For example I am an Econometrician I can sudy patterns, analyse data and make sales forecast, this is my job at a blue chip company. So that is all I ask. I have always wanted to start something in Nigeria but never did but I dont want this year to pass by without me doing this. And its not that I dont know were to invest money, I want to create Jobs. Thanks.

I want to start up a company in Nigeria but I am not sure which services exactly I would be rendering yet. My motivation is to restore dignity to as many young Nigerians (since I have the means) as I can by giving them an opportunity to serve/work and be paid for their services. So help me make up my mind, you unemployed graduate, tell me what SPECIFICALLY can you offer or put in another way, what can you do for any business if employed. Please forget the 1st class, 2.1 talk..be specific. I wait earnestly for your comments and by the way this is no joke.

Safe_hands@yahoo.com. please be very specific e.g, I am a driver, I drive people or goods to different destinations for a living. Thank you.

PrettyCrystal:
nawa oo. u will return to the same ground one day... na turn by turn

You miss the point! Why do they have to buried in Nigeria when all their stolen stash, investments (including health pilgrimage) is abroad?

teebillz:
Damn! You good, girl. Help a brother in love at first sight. Sometimes I wonder what you, girls, stand to gain by hurting us with hot pics and then refusing to respond to PM when will follow our hearts. Wherever you are, I will find you, Jenigurl, I will find you.

A non-Gigolo spotted, infact I doubt there is any Gigolo on nairaland...nairaland is full of kids and small small runs girls.

Kingkamba:
Jonathan is the best president we ever had. meanwhile buhari and his cohort are busy scheming for 2019. smearing the growing influence of goodluckJonathan and other Nigerians to make way for them in 2019.My PVC is always intact and i therefore urge other Nigerians to watch out for 2019 to do the needful. Their incompetence and lack of ideas, and focus has plunge this country to an unimaginable position. we have boko haram everywhere, economic hardship, nepotism, tribal sentiment, Fulani herdsmen religious bigot is now the other of the day. buhari bye@2019.

You mean the ITALIANS are making GEJ look bad for BUHARI just like the ENGLISH made IBORI look bad to Nigerins? This case seems to be ITALY vs The oil companies and accomplices or are you talking about another case?

Eberedor:
Re: Malabu Oil Deal: Jonathan Breaks Silence On Bribe Allegation by focus7: 4:45pm



Your foolishness and stupidity knew no bound. Have you forgotten the report that- Nigerian president and senate receives the highest salaries and allowances in the world followed by Italy? You are allowed to read every post but do not be swift to comment like FOOLS. Obviously, you are a numskull.

How much exactly does a siting Nigerian President earn in a year please?

udees:
Your Respond is just like saying if Buhari claim innocent,what of ABBA KYARI in the 500 million naira MTN Bribe or the SFG grass cutting contract or Magu that is indicted by DSS and they are still working for BUHARI government.

This is not APC vs PDP, this is the Itlian Justices system vs the Oil companies operating from Italy who are accused to have offered bribes to officials in Nigeria for projects. GEJ just happens as always to be complicit in this one. If Abba Kyari gets bribe from an Italian, European or American firm then they would come for him. Buhari is a mumu yes we know, but this one nah Italian show.

Senorita123:
Lol... Thanks much, this is educative. I laughed hard at the 'they learn that smile in school' part.

Its a good idea to go learn or hustle for a while abroad (it re-orientates and frees your mind from all the bullshit that you learnt in Niger) education in the west will give you the mind of a God when compared to that of a Nigerian confined to this shores ...the country is really beautiful and you can save some average money, but you need to get a plan and leave as soon as possible or the system traps you.

signature2012:
@playa0ne,I don't want to talk,but let me just say this,is not easy or rosy in America at the initial stage,but with time,things will surely get better.The difference between naija and yankee is OPPOTUNITY!
I dont care about racism so as far it does not affect my paycheck.

Yeah thats what a man who has no food or shelter says at first...when you have enough food then the kind of clothes you wear starts to border you...so your needs keep growing...soon you want respect and wont tolerate been looked down on...its a gradual process...MASLOW said so.

Senorita123:
I quite agree with you bro but kindly permit me to list some points. Maybe u left your 'home' (Nigeria) a long time ago, things have changed here too, truly I don't suffer abuses and deprivation because of my color here but I suffer abuses and deprivation because I am ofe mmanu.. Chukwudi still refers to my people as Afonjas, Bola still called Emeka a flat head on nairaland, Ayo still called Malam Audu a gambari... Everywhere is full of tribal wars. What more abuse and deprivation is worse than a nation divided against herself? number two, I don't care if I look different anywhere, variety is the spice of life as long as I didn't drop my self esteem at 'home'. Lest I forget to remind you, Competition is no longer the order of the day here, connection is. Even if u come first in the competition, who do you know. CONNECT OR DIE!!!!! Those r d only two options remaining at home baba... A jobless graduate still threatened to commit suicide in d job/ vacancies section dis week... On a final note, I think I will prefer a place where fighting is prohibited cos I dread SCARS!!!!!

I was back home for christmas, I speak with you from Nigeria now. Things are really bad true and I do not dispute tha fact that you can easily get a lot of things here abroad that you lack back home. But I tell you, just like Maslows hierarchy of needs, you would want more than food, shelter and electricity and security with time. The tribal slurs and all what have you in Nigeria is mainly online..its not bad in every day life in Nigeria. Ofenmanu is not a derogatory term, it means people who cook with too much oil...its like saying Oyibo is derogatory...wait to you come abroad, you will be amazed by the number of racist and ignorant white people around. Some hide their scorn and disdain for you and give you a fake smile (they learn that smile in school) but others would call you names it would make you feel really bad. So sister its a give and take thing, its not all green grass anywhere. Most of the people posing for you abroad are trapped, they are too ashamed to come home for fear that they be termed failure by friends and family...the nice Facebook pictures are to deceive you that all is well, most of them do very low jobs that you cant even imagine, because its really difficult to migrate from Nigeria at a later age and out compete kids who grew up in the system, and beat them to really good jobs...a 16year old kid abroad is on the average smarter than a 30year old man in Nigeria. I know there is nothing that you will tell a person in Nigeria right now about the true lifestyle abroad that they would understand, I pray you get a Visa soon so that you can see for yourself. I am planing on relocating back to Niger, I am working on a plan. cheers!

Take note that Oyibo people also fight and act unruly, its just that you cannot join them because it can go into your records if you get arrested and this could affect your visa extension or your stay in the country. So if you see trouble you must stay clear even though nah your trouble them find unless you have permanent residency.

skitkid2:
@bold, Home is where there is justice, where there is basic amenities. Where you Dont turn against your family because of hardship or because your pastor says so. Where there are hospitals that actually function.

You talk racism, while their is tribalism in your home(what point are you then trying to make).

I can't remember the last time an Igbo man ruled Nigeria and you talk about fair competition? (What exactly is your point).

Finally, if you are still abroad comeback to Nigeria, if you're back don't go back.

The grass is not entirely greener anywhere, but then you can never understand till you relocate. Goodbye boy

skitkid2:
Hi
Honestly speaking, you have no point at all

So says a boy who is just planing to go abroad to a man who has spent years abroad...lol. Move on boy!

Ajebutteroteh:
Can you start coming back home, if you tired of that country bro?

Do you know anything about me or my position right now?






Move on please!

Senorita123:
Congrats bro. Going through dis your thread and d pix actually made me drool. The Lord that changed your status will change mine too very soon. This country Nigeria has no plan for the youths nor d masses. Na d fastest way to leave dey hunger me. We keep hoping it will get better but it keeps getting worse. Ppl keep saying no place like home but in the real sense to me, home is where joy is and where people can boast of a comfortable life whether abroad or local. Home is where the life of the citizens are more important than anything. Home is where an average citizen can afford 3 square meals per day. Home is where security is well guaranteed. Home is where there is no huge discrepancy between the rich and the poor. Home is where our resources and funds are not being embezzled by our corrupt leaders . Home is where there are job provisions for graduates. HOME is where there is HOPE!! Home is, home is, home is, home is.................. ABROAD

Its not all fun and happy or jolly as you all think,most of us live with regrets, if only things could be like this back home we often say, because by staying abroad you are making a huge trade-off. The choices are true happiness and belonging or living in a functional alien society. The OP just moved so he is still tripping, with time he would understand that there is more to life than a functional society. Life here is good but it cant be like home. Home is where your social network is, a place where you are accepted, where you dont look different, where you can make noise and even fight if you like, a place were you can compete without having to suffer abuses and deprivation because of your colour, you can NEVER understand what home is till you leave home.
NO PLACE LIKE HOME, this phrase must have been written by a man abroad, because ONLY PEOPLE LIVING ABROAD WOULD TRUELY UNDERSTAND THIS PHRASE!!!!

Aaronsrod:
Blessings will be my potion.

Good reason, but what kind of blessings specifically. Is it like the kind of blessings people living in functional societies enjoy?

Aaronsrod:
God is good. Obedience is truth. I do not want to burn in hellfire.

Well you can be Obedient without been religious, ask them in the Army or in offices. I take it that your motivation is that you dont want to go to hellfire? Is that your only motivation or do you hope for something in return from God, whom you worship faithfully?

abatisegun:
I'm totally convinced by numerous facts in the book revealed to human kind to b their guidance and that is our noble Quran which has no edition or revisions

So you have no expectations from Allah in exchange for your servitude/faithfulness?

This topic has merits, you may want to move it to a better position where people can easily see it and contribute. Thanks

Greetings people, having grown up in a very religious family in Nigeria It came to my notice that people have different reasons for been religious (praying, going to church and church functions, paying tithes, e.t.c). While there may be more categories, I could classify a majority of the faithfuls I came across in my long sojourn in religion into those looking for economic upliftment or breakthrough (the poor, people looking for Visa, business connections e.t.c, I found that a lot of religious people are actually in this category), persons with health problems without medical cure insight (including childless persons, cancer, epilepsy, sickle-cell, e.t.c ) and the elites, persons who dont really care about the whole religion thing but want to take advantage of the sentiments of the masses (who mostly are religious) to achieve their personal objectives (Politics, preventing a revolt, or the poor stealing from them, e.t.c)

Now in the search of career advancement and skill development I have been to a number of countries around the world. In developed countries I noticed that they were often not religious, out of curiosity i asked one of the locals who was my friend why she doesnt go to church or is not religious. Her reply was really insightful, she answered why should I, what do I get from the church or religion that I don already have? she continued, If I am sick, I dont need to pray about it, I have got insurance, all I have to do is make an appointment and go see the doctor..our doctors are highly skilled and we have the best technology in the world...If I need money or financial support I apply for a loan or I apply for the social security cover of the government (though I must be unemployed to access the later) My passport can take me to almost every country in the world with Visa on entry, and in case you havent noticed she continued, one hour work here is 8.80euros at least. So for every one hour I spend in church praying over things that I can get anyway, I could make at least 8.80. I was quiet and this got me thinking, could the hardship and non existence key institutions in the country be the reason the people are religious?
Please your sincere thoughts are welcome.

pembisco:
You think you know it all but u don't. You are just pained over ur expulsion. Like I said, its not late to re-organise ur life again. I probably finished minor seminary when you didn't even start. If you bet let's upload our testimonial and see.

LOL who wants to see your dirty testimonial? See as you dey find validation, I beg clear road...ignorant somebody!

pembisco:
Bro. You were expelled, as simple as that. You claimed u left and then stayed with the bishop for years? Lol. You are the type who's mum are very close to priest and as such thought you can do whatever you like but got kicked out instead. Its not late to organise your life once More. Cheers

I was actually staying in the Bishops court when I was on holidays as a minor seminarian..It was compulsory for every minor seminarian to spend weeks in the parish house during a break.

Back to the matter, You be yeye Alter boy! Ubenedictus may actually be a seminarian or an ex its evident in the way he talks but you? You are a poor wannabe. How can you say the Priests check the Bishops? What? Do you know who a Bishop is in the church??
You are not smart walahi!

Ubenedictus:
Moral corruption is found among all son of adam, but to posit that the corruption in d catholic church is worst is untrue and without substance. there is corruption even in d church but generally i have found d catholic church to be self correcting and corruption less.

It is the mother of all corruption I emphatically repeat, all other sects and new orders are learning from the masters (the Catholics) the only difference is that the structure of the catholic church was built by very smart white men, they do some good in the open but covertly rake in all the money without raising eyebrows. But trust blackmen, since indigenous priests started heading dioceses and orders, the corruption has multiplied.

pembisco:
The priests check the bishop. Any parishner can have asses to financial status of the diocese through your parish priest.

LOL this post shows that you are just an Alterboy!

pembisco:
Its obvious are pained and have personal beef with the Catholic church.

The Bishop uses the funds of the church as he likes, he gives every church a target for never ending projects even projects as frivolous as his birthday. Go find out if the account of any catholic dioceses has ever been audited or if the church goers know how much there dioceses is truly worth.

pembisco:
Actually I'll rather think you are the one that wanted to become catholic priest but got rejected due to low IQ or bad lifestyle... I'm saying this because it is obvious considering you've confessed to staying in the bishop court for years most likely as an errand boy. I've seen and know your type that cling to priests as errant boys, your type will stay with them in the parish house for years without going for higher education. You remain there and bofore you realize, you've aged with nothing to show for it. They'll primise you admission to the major seminary or higher institution. When such is not forth coming, you resort to badmouthing the Catholic church when actually you initially wanted to selfishly benefit from it. So I advice you to stop getting closer to them cos you'll end up with nothing bit regrets

LOL! I finished from the most Illustrious minor Seminary in Nigeria, somewhere in the west (Makes you all seminarians, who were not privilege to attend green with envy) and proceeded to the best major seminary (were the show is been run by the people from my almer mater), I could not live the kind of life that they where living in this institutions, preach A and do B. No, I was not going to live a life of deceit and pretense because my mother wanted to have a priest in the family. I left after some years even after several interventions and attempts to stop me from doing so, even by the then Bishop of my dioceses himself, whom my mum ran to. In the end I was given time to think thoroughly about it, omo I took off. I have NO regrets today!
The catholic church is very very very very dirty! Even if it kills you, what is, is, and I am gonna say that to you!

Ubenedictus:
I read d whole thing before commenting, this cant happen in a catholic church. a bishop cannot blindly steal from d diocese to this extent.

The Bishop steals/takes the diocese funds as he wishes, he accounts to NOBODY!

pembisco:
It is corrupt but you can't say it is the mother of all corruption when it comes to embezzling of church funds which is the argument here. We all know priests are not paid salary, though not all sha.

Who checks the Bishop? do you know the financial position of any dioceses? You speak like you are a child.
