PoliticsRe: Woman Sets Her Boyfriend’s D*ck On Fire After Finding Out He Cheated (video) by raayah(f): 11:47am On Aug 18, 2015
This is wrong! Very wrong. This is aggravated assault.

It looks like they are in the U.S , so if the man press charges, she can go to jail.

Ladies if your man is cheating, work it out or end the relationship. Don't set his balls in fire.
CrimeRe: 16yrs Old Anambra Girl Caught In The Bush Sleeping With 52 Men by raayah(f): 3:33pm On Aug 17, 2015
[quote author=vascable post=37051050]16 year old having sex with 52 men?
The truth is that she was raped. Why are you spinning the topic?

“I joined them three months ago and during my initiation; I was forced to have sex with every registered male member of the cult present that night. I was given sedatives so as not to feel what they were doing. It was not easy, but I bore the pain,” she said.

Yes she joined the cult, but a 16 year joining a cult is mostly due to intimidation or peer pressure believe me or not. I don't think she should be arrested for this.

CareerRe: When Your Employer Owes You Salary. What Do You Do? by raayah(f): 9:03pm On Aug 16, 2015
The most reasonable thing to do is sue him. The only way this will work in Nigeria is if you have a lot of money and good lawyers.

What you should do is to tell the tabloids and post it on social media.
Maybe he will be Ashamed and pay up.

Or choose the easiest route, Get a new job.

I doubt if this will be any news to anybody that knows the woman that raosts corn at GRA Onitsha, near Benjen Inn. The woman now has corn roasting spots where her children are also doing so. She also has workers that work for her in corn roasting business. She is now a big landlady
That's how a big business work. Now compare it to one woman who has been roasting corn in one location all her life versus the woman who has income flowing from all directions.

That your friend's mum and their family live in face me I face you doesn't mean all corn and yan seller lives like that... Moreover this woman was probably living there in one of those houses too while she was building this house of hers in pains and sacrifice... My brother a wise man once said " man when dey drink garri get plans... Moreover, corn is seasonal meaning only you are a wise planner you won't make much from it.
Nope, thats not how real life works. Aman that drinks garri probaby has only garri. If you become a millionaire tomorrow in your face me ii face you, will you keep living there? You will be robbed sef on the spot. The more income we make, the higher we get scared for our safety.

Its unfortunate that we like to live in a dream world.

Fruits make sense but selling corn for four months in a year is a stretch.

Besides she does other business by the side. I am only saying that OP'S title is wrong.

d woman has built her house and I'm proud of her cus I know what it takes to build a house even if its 2 bedroom flat talk more of 4 bedroom flat. now the headache of analysing whether she got the money from corn or not is yours. do know how many years she been saving to build the House? nawa for you people.
You are now making it personal. This is a purely business discussion. If you dont have anything to contribute then leave. Why make i personal.

This woman has a car and she is also a landlady from plantain yam and corn roasting.. So what stops the one dealing on corns along from building a 4-roon apartment.. Why are you arguing over a house you haven't seen? For goodness sake 600k will give you a 4 bedroom if you already have the land.. At least we should have an idea of the sort of 4 bedroom this woman would have built for her mum in the village or are you expecting state of the art 4 bedroom apartment?
Nothing stops her, she even said she does other business.
Why are you arguing

It's obvious you know nothing about the corn business... That guy might over exaggerate a little but brother women are making that much... People make up to 10k a day just selling roasted and boiled corn... But of course it depends on where you are buying your corns from and most of these women sleep in the bush market for days just to buy cheap corn from villagers not to talk of the stress of transportation and sleeping in the back of worn out pick-up cars for days... So don't dispute what you don't know
So why do corn/yam sellers live in impoverished areas? Their kids go to free public schools. Why arent corn sellers living in lekki with the millions they're making? In short, one of my friends mum sells yam and such, they live in face me i face you, she goes hungry in the uni etc.

Why dont corn sellers improve their lives with 400k per month.

People make that much bro.. And everybody can't sell corn because the business is not an easy one.. I know a corn seller that goes to the Bush market to buy dem very cheap and sells expensively in the city.. She roasts every thing roastable, ranging from plantains, yam, fish, corn etc... And she is also a owner of a house and a golf 3.. There is more money in little businesses like these than staying in the office for 30 days waiting for peanuts that still don't come for months these days
OP says she only sells corn which is seasonal.
She also said she does other business.
Nothing to argue here.
Its understandable with yam and plantain.

FYI the difference BTW a house in maitama/wuse and a house in zuba/Deidei here in abuja is d price of d land. the cost of building material is the same everywhere. and she is a house owner no matter the location. she doesn't have to pay house rent again.
My argument is that its very hard to build a house on such income.
Seasonal Income at that.

Plus, she also stated that she has other jobs too. That makes sense. Op worded the title wrong.
Lets be realistic.

I stand to disprove you my dear. I have a cousin who sells corn at Berger bus stop at Ojodu. She rakes in close to N20k daily during the season. Her proceeds from corn is what pays her children school fees and feeds the family of seven during off season. In PH where I live, I also know women who make more than this. Please be it known to you that so many seemingly low class businesses you might chose to look down on actually makes more money than u think. Most fruit sellers ad noble sellers in PH have built houses. Go confirm.
20k daily?? Why are you not selling corn? Thats almost 400 thousand naira every month. Please lets not over-exagerrate this matter.

Depending on a traders location, 800 - 3000 naira everyday...

That's about 25k to 90k monthly.

investing 25k per month will get a house 100% ready in 10 years. Its not just possible, it happens all the time.
90k per monthhuh Why isnt everybody selling corn then?

who told u that people who sell corn make 10,000 naira every monthhuh

Geez, All these civil servants should only ask questions about business, not disgrace disgrace themselves.
How much do you make a month by selling corn.
Except she's the only one selling corn in a particular popular area, they are high chances that other people are selling corn in that area.
BusinessRe: Meet The Nigerian Woman That Built 4 Bedroom Flat From Roasted Corn Business by raayah(f):
She stated that she only sells corn during the corn season and works as a caterer and fashion designer during the on-season.

Selling corn obviously isnt her main source of income. She also is apparently married so she might be able to save some money on that end, hubby providing for her.

She also didnt state the location of the house and how much it costs. It could have been at a very cheap and extreme location, which is not bad.

We need to know the full details

I love happy stories and i am proud of her for being able to overcome her challenges but lets be realistic.

If you make 10,000 naira in profit a month from selling corn ( slight exagerration). I dont see how can eat, pay rent and bills and still be able to build a house with such income. It will take years of extreme saving.

Op should probably retitle.

EDIT:
A lot of people are mentioning me and telling me that corn-sellers make 20k daily, 400,000 naira a month
Please nairalanders , quit your Job and start selling corn.
My 2 cents
