We still have some politicians who are doing exactly what they were elected 2 do in Nigeria. Some have been in power for several years now while others have just spent 4 years. Among the present crop of politicians, who would you like 2 see on the back of a bank note if CBN should introduced another note & why?

What is your answer?

Big, loud and in-your-face, Lagos is a packed megacity where the streets are teeming with life and the buzz of innovation. Here’s 13 signs you’re a Lagos entrepreneur:

1. You will always get stuck in traffic:You have to leave for your meetings at least 4hrs or more ahead of the scheduled time, if you are to make it early
2. And even then sometimes it doesn't matter what you wear or how you pitch:the outcome of your meetings most times will depend on the type of car you arrived for the said meeting in.If you come with an Oyinbo man, you'll get a response faster.
3. At times, keeping the lights on can be a struggle (and not because you didn't pay the bill):You know you're running a business in Lagos when generator is your most expensive
4. Not that a little blackout is going to stop you...the lights go out and the hustle on the streets remains the same
5. Sometimes business can be a waiting game:Expect to wait several hours in the waiting room to have a meeting with a potential new client or partner
6. But with a huge potential market, the sky's the limit for a good idea:

The massive population of over 15Million people makes it encouraging to venture into one business or the other
7. You've got to work with officials:There is a heavy political undertone while doing business in Lagos. One way or another you will have to interact with the govt
8. And then there's the other unexpected expenditures...govt levies, taxes and hiden charges could kill ur startup bfor it even began,get ready to grease palms
9. Offers are key to stay ahead of your rivals:U constantly have 2 give discount & offer VAS 2 stay ahead of competition
10. But despite the trials and tribulations, you can always find a solution
11. Your phone is constantly stuck to your ear and that means... Your data plan is hungrier & much more expensive than that new chic you took on your last date
12. As if getting stuck in traffic constantly isn't enough, sometimes there isn't even enough gas for that 4+ hour car ride!You know you're an entrepreneur in Lagos when you're battling with power and internet costs then fuel scarcity shows up anytime
13. But you never give up because the success could be just around the corner. that you may fail to see a breakthrough 10 times of trying and your 11th attempt becomes the BIG BREAK!

I have watched and listened to several comedians on stage doing their things. Most of them if not all always crack jokes mentioning Warri.although,we have some comedians that come from warri and environments.They do talk about Warri as if all the people over there are comedians. Even comedians that have never set their feet on Warri will have one comedy on Warri. Is comedy from Warri or what?

Archilouis:
If you skip doing a German floor (risk is that foundation moisture will soak the wall and the bottom section paint will soon begin to peel off and always look damp).

A modest 3-4 bedroom bungalow with not so large rooms, little or no pillars (depending on design) considering use of local mixed gravel to build required strength for door/window/roof concrete requirement. Also considering local roofing sheet (Cameroon roofing sheets can do).

You should be able to build the skeletal structure and put external doors + window burglary.

You then need to raise another budget for finishing (interior fittings etc)

Hope this helps...

Exactly! Like u were with me on my project

A discussion came up in our office yesterday concerning vocational jobs. We now asked each staff what vocational jobs they might learn if they were not educated. That is,immediately you finished primary school/secondary school you become an apprentice and start on your own after freedom. There were very funny responses especially when a friend said police. Mine was tailoring.

Too much of stress in order to cater for family needs.

A friend of mine had forgotten that d next paper was 2pm.He went 2 buy those groundnut inside nylon and sugar to soak gaari.On his way comin he was informed abt d paper so he hurried 2 d exam hall.As we started,d invigilator noticed some students funny movement at d back.My friend was asked 2 come 2 d front and emptied his pocket! My friend was so embarrassed 2 bring out d groundnut and sugar.He was like ground should open and swallow him. U can imagine d shame.

President Elect Major General Muhammadu Buhari will be swear in to office on 29th may. If you have the chance to meet him one-on-one what are the two things you will like his administration to do first in the country? Mine is stable power supply and declaration of emergency in health sector

Residents of my street, Dalute Ibadan, Just woke up this morning to find a house on fire. We heard that the landlord son who was quarreling with his brother wife yesterday, bought petrol and wet the whole house and set it ablaze.There were several tenants in the house, some of whom lost valuables in the fire.One tenants claimed she just collected contribution of 70k yesterday.The guy that commited the crime fled immediately and was later caught by the youths on the street and handed over to the police. When he was being taking away,he was returning the people abuses and curses back to them infront of the police.

One of Nigeria representatives at last year big brother africa tagged hotshot and runner up of the season,Tayo Faniran has become the ambassador of payporte.He has just inked his first endorsement deal with a leading online store, Payporte Africa.Tayo is reaping from his new found fame. Congrats to him

I have mine but my wife is yet to collect her own. Inec stories every time she visited the local government is discouraging.

See now, Federal Government needs to make sure that at least 90% of register voters have their cards. We are giving room to rigging if Nigerians dont av their cards.

Being on the internet all day,discussions in churches,offices,mosques,or wherever we find ourselves on the forthcoming elections cant choose the right leaders for us.We can put whoever we want there by VOTING.My question now is HAVE YOU COLLECTED YOUR PERMANENT VOTER'S CARD
