Kings999:
Nigerian GOVERNMENT created the six polictical zones to cause confusion, but they have failed... If all the Northerners are Hausas... Both Northeast North North and North West...

NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT are scared if BIAFRA that's why they are talking nonsense....
you need to read more and talk less. Because only through the right approach (knowledge and will to win) will your Biafra be actualized.

The idea of geopolitical zone was never created by any government and does not exist in any law. In fact, tgis classification was a brainchild of an Igbo man. And please do a little research b4 you quote me on this.

My knees are on ground to whoever sees this and in a position to help me. I beg you in the name of God. I need 18k to complete the amount for my final year school fees as we are preparing to start exams next week. I don't know what I can do to convince you but I'm ready to do anything to clear whatever doubts you may have. This is my last chance to cross this river. I'm so destabilized right now such that I can't type much.

Education in the country may look discouraging but it's still necessary because nobody knows tomorrow except God...to prepare oneself for future opportunities. Some people won't understand but most of us who motivated our way to acquiring university education know what we pass through. Help me please to complete the amount. I have hustled to the best of my ability but it's not just complete. The payment should be made highest tomorrow. HELP A DEPRESSED SOUL PLEASE. God richly bless and reward you abundantly. Thank you.

Pressing could be a good thing. I don't want to castigate people doing it.

But for a long time, over 10 years ago, I stopped asking girls twice. In fact, most times if you tell me you would think about it, I don't ask for the reply.

It's not as if I expected a lady to say yes on the go. But as I grow older, I stress less over girls. I become less interested altogether.

The principle of "men are like wine" is becoming more real to me everyday.

KingKingKing:
The stat is as fake as sand on.the moon


So u mean Maiduguri, Adamawa, yola, Kaduna, Benue .. Places u sleep with one eye closed are more livable than Lagos that houses over 20 million persons.. Ahn mk una dey sufree dey lie..
If na only petty crime I agree, but in terms of terrorism and loss of lives na wa o.

If u take Lagos from Nigeria then Nigeria ceases to exist...

Wait u mean chad wey rebels dey, safe pass Lagos? Lmaooo
For one, Maiduguri is one of the most protected cities in the world at the moment. That doesn't mean I am rating her in anyway.

Notwithstanding, if you have stayed in other cities, you will feel the need to agree with the stat. Lagos is a heavily messed up city. I mean heavily messed.

Security is not a one-way street. Solve the problems of poverty, injustice, do not ignore people's point of view, fight corruption indeed, invest in education and technology. What we are seeing now are results of long years of injustice, and other vices. Politicians are living fat on pples Commonwealth.
Politics › Re: Legalise Cultivation Of Cannabis, Akeredolu Urges FG by Powersurge: 2:10pm On Jun 08, 2021
SmartProf:
This man's evangelism on cannabis cultivation & legalization in Naija has been with passion. Akeredolu has been a loud voice on this issue. If he is made minister of agriculture anyday in Naija, as his first 100days achievement he will display cannabis plantations in all states including desert areas.
Why are Nigerians crucifying canabis? There is more abuse without legalization and high economic and psychological problems.

Beancounter93:
Basic reason why we don't have power in Nigeria is simple...we are not ready to pay the money we need to have constant power.

Also, when 40% of your customers are using your product for free....and the rest are mostly paying below the production price of power., where does one expect the power companies to get money to pay for upgrades and so on.
This is nor sequitur! The primary problem with revenue generation is the inefficiency in collection. The power companies prefer to ignore power saboteurs and transfer their burdens to other paying consumers.

When I was staying a particular city. Only about 4 houses were paying bills in the whole street of about 24 houses. The rest bypassed or hung wires. Power officials have seen it several times. They would warn them and go. The menace continues, while those of us paying were getting increasing bills. If the power companies have sued just 3 persons in that street and they paid damages in hundreds of thousands, nobody would dare it again. Landlords would make it explicitly clear for their tenants the consequences..

Notwithstanding, I stand on the fact that Nigeria's sovereignty must be renegotiated. People who are not satisfied with the arrangement should seek their own nations. Marriage no be by force.

Money is a living thing. It always finds itself in the hands of the industrious and the intelligent. Share 50 million Naira for all the poor people in the country, come back in the next 20 years to assess the number of those that have grown it. Most would have almost exhausted it. It would have led to the death of many. Only few would have made tangle improvement. And if you assess the few, they would be either industrious or literate.

Romance › Re: What If Aliens Exist, Will It Crumble Religion?? by Powersurge: 5:59pm On Jun 03, 2021
As long as man lives, religion lives!

There was woman in US woman claimed God spoke to her about end time. She garnered followers over time. According to her religion, the exodus would happen with some sort of alien UFO. Adherent wouldn't be "raptured" should they wear any metal object. Most of the followers gave out their belongings. Cos "they wouldn't need it. "

Some professors infiltrated the gathering to get experiential knowledge of how religion is formed. Some of the scholars' family members filed law suit against them and had their children removed from them. because they thought they have gone mad.

On the night of the ascension, which supposed to happen at 12 midnight, journalists and media houses were there (at first it was kept hush. But later made public). After the time given by the demigod passed, the woman said her god has decided to forgive humanity. Despite this open failure, over 80% of her followers still blved.

Religion is good for the spirit, but it's also a tool for manipulating human. Religion is relatively new, none of today's religion is up to 10,000 years. And with time, religion would struggle as knowledge progresses. Notwithstanding, religion lives forever!

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: What It Was Like To Tell My Kids I Lost My Job by Powersurge: 6:27pm On Jun 02, 2021
Robertkenny:
Mrs. Juliet

I was with my husband on March 31st, it was 3 or 4 o’clock in the afternoon and I took a phone call from the owner of my company, the president and COO. He informed me that my position was being eliminated.

Significant changes had to be made to the small, family-owned business I worked for due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Coming from leadership, I understand. I worked for Skymack communications, a publishing company here in Lagos, for over 13 years. I was senior vice president of operations, client service and account management. The majority of the clients I worked with were in the airline space, so Covid-19 had huge impact on the area of the business I managed.

Even though being let go is not a personal issue for me, when you get that call from your boss, it’s quite a shock to the system.
I love the people that I worked with. And I have never been unemployed.

This was a first for me, and I had to tell my kids.
The first person I told was my husband. We went for a walk because I just wanted to takeout bad thought and feel free. It’s so overwhelming that you don’t want to think about the “What if”.

I cried when I told my husband, but it wasn’t sadness that I felt. I didn’t feel a connection to my job title such that it was a loss of my sense of self. It was more, “Well, what am I going to do now?” Or maybe it was because you have to say those words: “I’ve been laid off.” I never said those words before.

But I didn’t actually tell my two girls, who are 12 and 16, for almost a full 48hours. I just sat with it first. I was thinking, “How am I going to tell them that I have been laid off”?.

My girls have seen me get up and go to work their whole lives. I don’t believe they tied me as a person to my job, but they do understand that my job provides money for the family to live.

I was really trying to figure out, how do I tell them without scaring them? And how will I keep a level of composure?.

The third day I told them. Schools in Lagos were closed, so my daughters were homeschooling. I called them into the living room, sat down and told them that I had been let go from my position at work. I was crying while telling them.

They both sort of looked at me and they said, “Well, what does that mean for us?”

How you handle yourself is everything when it comes to how they’re going to respond, so I immediately composed myself.
“Well, we’re probably going to have to make some changes initially, but as a parent let I and your dad focus on that. I don’t want you to worry about that” I said.

My eldest daughter got angry and frustrated at my employer. “Aren’t you important? Don’t they think you’re valuable?” she asked with a sad face.

“I am valuable” I said. But my value has nothing to do with my job. I’m valuable for a lot of other reasons.”

“I will find a job that makes me happier, a place to work that values me, a place where I want to be” I said. The girls asked questions about money too. I have a loan to pay and other bills. “Yeah, we’re going to have to make some changes, for me to be able to pay back” I said.

“I’m going to have to really work to get another job or figure out what my next move is” I said.

For now we’re good. My girls and I are stable and we’re happy. We have made some changes towards managing most things around us. For instance with food shopping, we are not particularly frivolous, but now we are much more careful.

Also there is no “I need does cloths just because they’re beautiful or I want to do online shopping for me and my girls”. They know they need to be conscientious about what they ask for. And they have been fantastic without reminder.

And I have not stopped my job search, but I am not obsessing. Right now everything is fine, but that won’t last forever. So I am trying to determine what my new normal is going to be.

Thank you Bogger for sharing my story

Have you ever lost any job that makes you think twice? Please share your story.
I lost my job on 4th January, new year gift I supposed. The irony of it was that I lost the job in another city where I was transferred to.

I quickly gathered the little I had left on me to start small business (hair cream production). It came with its own frustrations, especially from customers. But I had small money to feed myself. I was on the field myself. No time for yeye "bigmanism". Mind you, I am still single. So that reduced some burden from me. Moved back to Lagos, got f2f apartment (because if you make the mistake of staying with family, u fit commit suicide on a long run).

I dusted my cv, up my skillset (Jack up some IT stuff I was learning earlier). Just got an offer last month. resuming soon. Pay is not the best, as everything in Naija is costly. However, it's like twice my former pay. Praying for a better experience in this one.
