Tomorrow at the Abuja National Mosque 🕌 will be very historic as the First ever IGBO MUSLIM Imam (Prof. Iliyasu Usman) who is recently appointed as the Chief Imam of the Abuja National Mosque would be performing his inaugural Khutbah (Sermon) in the Mosque. Kindly join us. Uthman Isa Tochukwu

Congratulations🎉🥳👏.
He also double as the first professor of Arabic in Igboland. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to learn a foreign language like Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, Chinese.

When T-pain hardship meet my guy finish, he shout for epp straight.

Just one year! 👌

My business dey suffer like this, and it got worst since the tarrif hike in electricity abi na band A covert migration, coupled with the increase in fuel price.

Na to find way move into something else.. but this administration have turned our capital to dust.

Amigoss:
How can the grid not collapse when there are many people like onyeama that dont pay nepa bill and paypass metre...

Govt needs to remove total subsidies from electricity so new investors in power stations can come in ,Nigerians need to start paying international market price for energy,it is not cheap anywhere in the world.....

The money saved from this subsidy can boost our reserve, strengthen our naira and maintain the president's lifestyle,yatch and aircraft

Thats only what the money will be for.

T-Pain’s in the office, but it’s all a joke,
Corruption runs deep while the people choke.
Fuel scarcity got us stranded on the road,
Prices sky high, man, we carry this load.

Hardships piling up, can’t catch a break,
Inflation rising fast, how much more can we take?
Power grid collapse, darkness in the streets,
Insecurity lurking, can’t find no peace.

Education failing, we’re left in the dust,
Promises made, but who can we trust?
Kids in the classrooms, but learning's a fight,
Future looking dim, no end in sight.

Fear medical students bro, if Afrodoc2 drop rhymes for here, everywhere go catch fire

kangaroos dancing in their fancy Jimmy choos,
wallaby wannabes peeing their pants like a nursery

Koalas begging for peace these niggas ain't got nuts, steady sharing kolanuts in their tattered huts
In for a fight? They scream No, niggas jazzing themselves up like their name Obaino,

Might go back to the 80s and sport a brand new afro, asking niggas what's up doc, got bunnies in my ammo
Get addicted to sniffing cocaine get it in my brain, come back 40 years later and rule like the new T-pain

It's crazy how some people are comfortable with being paid only 12 times in 365 days. Only 12 times in a whole fvcking 365 days!. That's fvcked up.

There's nothing wrong with getting paid 12 times in 365 days, it's the quantum of what U get paid at the end of the year that really matters.

You may do business and not make some salary earners' gross annual salary as Ur income for 2 years sef. 😂

A friend who works in an indigenous oil and gas company was telling me about the salary of an Executive director that just joined them. The man's annual gross is about 134m ; that's like 11m per month.

Now tell me , is anything wrong in getting paid 11m 12 times in a year when u are within Ur late 40's / early 50's? Not to talk of other allowances like profit sharing, profitability bonus, etc? He has a very big SUV as official vehicle o

Not all. That's a very nice salary.
Anything above 3m monthly in this country is very very nice.

One thing that stands out about kidnapping be say, Dem no dey do say you no get money 💰,make Dem release you, it's either you pay the negotiated ransom or they kill you.. no in-between, once Dem don kidnap, if you like be groundnut seller, if you waste their time, they waste you.
At least if armed robbers achieve you, if Dem carry your phone 📱, laptop or some of your gadgets, Dem go leave.. no be same with kidnapping oo..

Na make man pray say wetin pass am no visit am

Like how many victims dey there
Where were the victims kept
How were they collecting ransom? Cash or transfer
When they were going on the bush, did they meet villages, villagers or farmers
Did they keep moving or just stayed in one place
The kidnappers were they Fulanis
Was this person kidnapped while traveling, from his house or farm
What were they eating

I am with you on this

Team 9 to 5 here. I don't even get the point he's making about getting paid 12 times a year

This oyinbo man is trying to discredit T-pain..

Is this not treason?

I think there's a misconception out there among our people that if do 9 to 5, you can never really be successful like the average businessman. It is on that premise the whole talk about getting paid 12times a year being a bad thing came from.

There are enough number of big boys on LinkedIn that made very good money from just doing 9-5. They can easily buy any choice property in any location they decide in the country. Boys that worked in foreign operations and treasury departments of financial institutions that made money trading and their salary still dey there.

Na aspire to perspire merchant dey demonize 9 to 5.

Every business you need significant capital to start. A broke post NYSC boy can get a job and become great from 9-5. If you know how many guys with nothing and just came to Lagos post NYSC with kne bag and now having properties from 9-5.
You can use the capital you raise from 9-5 to fund your business idea

I know many of my peers over 40 that are doing great in this country from 9-5 and I know many too that went into business and have failed

Business is not for the faint hearted. Out of 10 businesses started only 3 survive beyond 2yrs and likely only 1 will make it big after 5yrs. That is money down the drain. Some may never recover from it

What some people call business in Nigeria is simply govt patronage where you don't have to deliver anything just collect money and go.

One friend was chasing a 500m Naira govt contract and they told him he has to settle with about 200m. He said he won't be able to deliver with 300m and they told him that "Shebi na we go sign off on the project, just do small thing" I warned him that if you get away with it today, another govt will come who won't know those in power today. And na your name and signature collect the money. Na you efcc go dey find about. His wife dey thank me for speaking sense into him but other friends especially in Naija dey tell am say Nothing dey happen collect am. Na the Naija business model be that

For one Alaba merchant wey blow, pepper enter the nose and eyes of 9

Even banking business of 10 banking whizkids wey start with Ovia and Atedo, how many of them don pack up in the last 35yrs

The entire 500m is barely over $300k na him you go be fugitive all over the world. Shey you wan tell EFCC say you settle this Director or this perm sec? When receipt no dey and no evidence.

That's if people no even off you in the process of lobbying and carrying money around

And like Yorubas will say Eni to ba ja Ole lekan, ti oba da aran bori, aso Ole lo da bora

Anyone wey steal even just once if he wears expensive clothes anytime in his lifetime, he would be always referred to as a thief

In most cases all those going to Naija to chase deals is just a mirage. Only 5% ever succeed at it
