Jobs/Vacancies › Re: 650k Salary Hybrid Work For A Start-up Or 350k Salary From Two Remote Jobs. by Powersurge: 2:10pm On Nov 14, 2021
Opexzy:
Hello Nairalanders..

I am a bit confused right now. I have two remote jobs currently, they both pay me 200k and 150k salary respectively. These two companies have been existing for over 3 years so they have built up structure that one could trust a little over time...

I recently applied for another full-time job, it's a startup that is just moving from ideation phase to implementation. And they are offering me 650k salary a month even though I told them my salary expectation is 500k a month. I will be working 2 days onsite, 3 days remotely.

I am enticed by this new salary and at the same time, my current jobs have built structure that I can trust.

Not to even mention that I occupy a very important position in these two companies: though not a big deal.

Please i am just confused... Just finanlized everything with the company’s management team.. I am meant to resume next two weeks.
It's a dicey situation. Startups are dicey. They usually ask for more than one could afford to give. But better pay is very essential at times like this.

Since you have 2 days remote (referring to d startup), try to keep one of your existing remote job for now. It's gonna be challenging but keep it for two or three months to see how things are going with this startup.

I guess the job is IT? which specific area?
Romance › Re: She Is Into Runs Should I Still Marry Her? by Powersurge: 5:59am On Nov 14, 2021
bigpriik:
I brought up this topic two years ago, it was about a girl i loved so much we were good friends, but she is Just into a kinda flashy lifestyle funded by runs. She always posts twerk videos on her Instagram and whatssap status and of course she is very beautiful and the kind of woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.

Hoestly I don't know why I love her, it's just crazy. Last year I deleted her number and pictures from my phone, because we had a fight over the tatoo she drew on her upper arm so I avoided her..

But yesterday I saw her in my street, meeen this girl don fine scatter and she is looking so fresh like those men are really paying her well. She called me and I answered we talked and believe me all the nuts in my head was loose because I talked to her.. embarassed,i felt all the old emotions back again and it was so strong again. I immediately collected her number and she sent me a hi on WhatsApp so we begin talking again, we chatted all Night and she told me how she missed me so much and all.

Is it sensible iI take her in, i am 29 now and rounding up for marriage and she is the only one i see but i am afraid because i feel runs girls don't really retire even after marriage..

Elders please i need your help..
I need
U won take her in, can you afford her? Can you pay her bills or na God go do am level you won tell her. Those people can change, but money ga dey involved.


Secondly, what in the world makes you think she would marry u? Una don talk reach dt level b4? Instead make use her connect get contract or any tangible thing u dey do ur head scatter. E be like say u think say marriage na by feeling.

dopedan:
Just saw my cgpa and I landed in 2.2 and my dad already told me not to bring bad result home I guess 2,2 is not so good and my dad is not someone that is understanding so how do i tell him?
You had 4 or 5 years to correct this but you are just SEEING your CGPA now. When you begin to pay bills you will understand how it feels.

Anyway, I had class rep that had 2.2 and now an assistance bank manager in Access. If your papa get long leg, hin fit help you. Otherwise, buy yourself a laptop and start learning some IT stuff ( or yahoo if you so desire). With IT skill your certificate will not matter.

Discover something you are passionate about. Turn it to a source of income. Work hard at it. Perseverance is key. You will make it with time.

I believe OP is seeking educational reasons not the nonsense you put up there? About 50% of the word's money is in the hands of 1%. That nonsense you put up there doesn't justify this. The people that solve the most and hardest problems in the world are not the richest. And the richest are neither the smartest nor the most problem-solving.
Romance › Re: I'm Not Marrying Her: How DO I End This Relationship, All My Trap Has Faild Me by Powersurge: 4:37pm On Nov 11, 2021
Mylordmygod1:
A beautiful afternoon to all nairalanders.

Firstly, my greatest fear when it comes to things of this world is 'women', That's why i don't want to break a womans heart in a way that i will be the one to recieve the blame.

I've been in a relationship with my girl for about 3years now, and each time my mum or friends ask me if i'm gonna marry her, my answer is always a capital letter NO.

Now, my mum is warning me to better let her go since i don't have the interest of marrying her. But the hard part is that i'v been promising this girl that i will marry her even when i'm 100% sure i won't marry her, and i don't no how to go about ending the friendship now.

Recently, i've been picking offences for minor isues, getting angry with her for no reasons, trying to give her signal, but none seems to be working, and its now like my anger is her source of happiness these days.

I really want to end the friendship now, but i want the blame to be on her side and not mine, how can i go about it?

ADVICE ME WELL

Thanks.
You are a very stupid boy o.

If you examine this lady cry blood, she is a gold digger. She don see big and wealthy family and she thought all that glitters is gold. Now she can't comprehend that someone could use the same tool she used. If she were from a wealthy home her husband wouldn't be talking to her like that. He knows she aren't going no where.

Ijawboy:
Lately I have been scouting for a 2 bedroom apartment in Ibadan for residential use.
See what a greedy Real Estate Agent charged me for a 2 bedroom apartment in Oluyole estate, here in Ibadan:

Rent - N700,000
Agency fee @ 20% = N140,000
Legal fee @ 10% = N70,000
Caution deposit =N70,000

Just imagine being asked to pay N980,000 due to sheer greed of this Estate agents in collusion with greedy landlords☹️

Unfortunately, this is the norm out here as other agents I spoke to were not any different.

Kindly share your experience with Ibadan Real Estate agents or even their greedy colleagues in other states and how you handled them.
I stayed in IB from 2019 to January this year. I was so disgusted by the idiots. Person go won collect 90k on top 150k house. Spit**

Romance › Re: I Love Her But I'm Scared by Powersurge: 3:21pm On Nov 05, 2021
YourWriter:
I met this girl in the beginning of 2021 and our bond of friendship has grown strong since then. I never had the intention of dating her to start with, but as times goes on I found myself catching feelings.

I really do want to let my feelings known but I'm scared of rejection. Besides, this girl is like an anti-relationship activist. Most of the times her posts on WhatsApp is mostly against love and how she's not ready to get into relationship.

Also, as a beautiful person she has lots of options which includes rich guys with lexus and Benz. Although I'm also not broke but I'm far below the level of her suitors. What I could say is my only advantage is that I'm handsome.

Should I just go ahead against all odds and let my feelings known or I should just let the feelings die?
Tell her how you feel and lwt her make her decision. No go dey start epistle o. Just let her know. You have. Nothing to lose.

Family › Re: Share Your Near Death Experience by Powersurge:
Mine was old-man story as only about 0.02% can relate.

I grew up in riverine area in the west. The sea and I were friends grin. I usually go fishing during weekends to have money for school. Sometimes I go overnight and enter school in the morning. U see those bolsterous sea wave that could be as high as 3-storey building that you see in movies, they are my friends grin.

One day our boat capsized (with board engine. Yamaha 40). I was holding on to a floating object (mind you, I was in primary school. To let you know how young I was). Our net was all over the water. Engine was dragging the boat towards sea bed. But because of the size of the boat, the two were able to maintain equilibrium at some point.

One of those high rise waves collapse on my head while holding unto the float object. It's like those Poseidon's movies. It sent me straight into the floating ocean of net (if straitened, it will be up to 3km in length). I was entangled. Struggling for my life under the water. I could hear the other folks calling me. They were holding to their own floating stuff. But imagine for moment being entangled in such mass of net in a bolsterous water. Up till now, I don't know how I got out of that net. Because normally, I ought not to get out.

Afterwards, some rescue boat came to save us. Perhaps one day I would write about my experience as a young boy in a fishing village.

So all these Indomie generation wey dey form Bruce Lee online, una never see anything grin

PS: my experience in that fishing village as boy showed me that in order not to give birth to female-men, you MUST allow your male children to face certain things in life. It might not be fishing in the sea grin. BUT MEN ARE MADE BY EXPERIENCE AND TOUGHNESS.

Crime › Re: She Was Deceived Into Prostitution Abroad. by Powersurge: 4:42pm On Nov 04, 2021
Kaynnedy:
Good afternoon House.

Someone told my sister that there was a connection for a sales rep. Job in UAE, since she's yet to get a job after her NYSC, (you know how tough Nigeria is now. But it will require her to pay some money for her visa, flight ticket and other necessary documents, but my sister told her that she currently don't have money to process any international papers.

After much discussion this lady told my sister not to worry that all documentations including flight ticket will be paid for her but on a commission fee when she arrived her destination and upon resuming work in UAE, a percentage of her salary will be remitted to them until she pays up the debt incurred.

This was two months ago precisely August. Now fast forward to yesterday 3rd November 2021, I got a WhatsApp message from my sister telling me that she was being forced into prostitution upon arriving and not the sales job as was agreed.

I told her to find a way to come back to Nigeria since she has a return ticket that will expire in 4 days time valid till 8th November 2021.

Now the issue is:
1. Her Boss, as she called her earlier took her passport upon arrival in the pretense that she may misplace it or it may get stolen.

2. Her boss insisted on her paying all the debt incurred in processing her peppers which is 125% extra on what she spent in bringing her to Dubai, which amounts to N3.5 million Naira.

Please is there a way she can return back without her international passport since she went there legally and her return ticket is still valid.

Please we need help as during this altercation since yesterday, I cannot communicate with her as her Boss has seized her phone. It's now a matter of life and death.
UAE police. She go get home for free with extra clothes and money.

Putting age, religion, gender, and other discriminatory information on your resume are increasingly being frowned at. Notwithstanding, one has to put age in entering level job applications as that is one of the criteria that employers used.


Though entering level job does not mean that you have no experience. An applicant with 10+ years experience could be applying for entering level job (perhaps changing field).
