Wow ..Interesting startup idea you have got there.Are you guys up and running already? ..will like to know how it works. #peace

Thanks bro. And yes we are up and running. Just scroll up a little. You will see.

what's the handy man business like

Its a repair business. Like ours- Handyman's Bro, we started from the neighborhood repairing phones, laptops, gadgets in general to home repairs like plumbing to net fixing etc. We just submitted a proposal to be in charge of the repair and maintenance of a company's hardware equipments and other stuffs. Hope you understand now?

A handyman business. A handyman is a person skilled at a wide range of repairs, typically around the home. My brother and I are currently running a handyman startup. And I must say, its progressing well. You only need to be skilled, which is something that isn't difficult.

Just get your tools, advertise your handyman skills and wolla you are in business. From the little knowledge I have already, people always have things they want to repairs or services they are in need of. You just need to make yourself visible.

Just to add, don't be scared to start small. Most companies that inspire you also started small.

If you can make any sense of this entity called Nigeria, then you are a genius. Phew!

A lot of empty noisemakers again. None payment of salaries to embassy is not new. Happened as far back as 2013: https://www.nairaland.com/1197721/nigerian-embassies-cant-pay-salaries

Even at that, is it PMB's job to ensure the workers are paid? Isn't that the purview of the ministry of foreign affairs??.

Its instructive to note that allegation of mismanagement has been leveled against the ministry, which, incidentally, is headed by. . . . .

seriously! Guy seriously ehn, I'm not joking oh, just stop this... Its kinda embarrassing.

And these guys arguing on this thread are adults oh! Nigeria ehn! We have a long way to go. See reasoning sha!

sometimes you feel sad that u are part of a country things like these are happening...correction to all these madness is not in the offing yet.POWER and Authority is in the corridor of Lunatics and we are all taken swaying and swirling in the wind of confusion.Ipso facto,only revolution might solve this issue.When would that be?who will take the courageous step? Who will spare head the movement?and who are ready to follow?

I'm telling you best! Its just sad. Nothing makes sense in Nigeria anymore. How can you explain an Obasanjo that supported GEJ coming out to say he knew the same man he supported never had the capacity to govern? Or the fact that meningitis has killed over 800 people and mot even an outcry. Is it the trash GEJ has been sprewing of late? Last month, I can easily count the number of hours I was supplied electricity but today I got a bill of 11k. President too tired to preside over NEC meeting but will never miss prayer on friday. Its just crazy my friend. Just crazy! And to know these guys have stunch supporters makes me sad.

You did justice to this line. Power and authority in the corridor of lunatics!

Reno, EFCC, GEJ, PMB, El-RUfai, Pro-GEJ, Pro-PMB make all of una go jump enter lagoon for all I care. Joke of a country!!!

Meanwhile somewhere in Africa, a country's tech minister was seen not too long ago riding in a wooden car. Progress!

mapet:
It is ironical that people "conveniently decided" to blow this out of proportion.
1. First of the matter was resolved ammicably and the journalist was called back by the media office
2. This is a case of a CSO that acted on his own and did not get carry the media office along
3. The media office and the President's handle had said they had not qualms with the journalist and should be left to continue his work

Now
@Raziii

Let's not get over ourselves....... Some of these teething issues like this will crop up. Security can interpret such publication as a compromise or even security agent can go beyond their remit at times. It is how the situation is handled that is important.

This is the 3rd time PMB's govt is having to correct some of this missteps and you should credit them for that. Interpreting the CSO's move as a presidential order is hypocritical, nonsensical and unnecessary

you guys just use words carelessly that has no bearing with the point you are trying to make. Whats hypocritical about what I said? This isn't about Buhari or GEJ okay. I was simply reacting to anti-wailer's comments earlier on.

AntiWailer:
I dnt understand you.

Why talk as if they started it.

I have condemned the gagging of press in my first post saying it is not right.

What I dnt understand is why Wailers feels ending wailers form and somebody shouting dictator.

Govt that seized already printed newspaper and one that send a journalist out.

okay then.

AntiWailer:
Put the write up in context and read objectively.

When u are done let's discuss.

I read the right up objectively. And there is no way I can say, yes that serves him right. Because tomorrow who will be next, his crimes? There is always gonna be one. And then next? Thats where the danger is.

AntiWailer:
When you blow eveything out of proportion just to show your disdain for the current Administration all to prove that we should have voted Jonathan, before Fayose come and fight for the masses again. let me add my voice.

While it is not right to gag the press, It is done every where they are becoming a nuisance

The links below add to my point.

** Write another point, Zombie is already taken.





It did not load when GEJ siezed newspaper. No be only dictator, na Doctor.

you brought up so many links to support your argument but never for once did you stop to ask yourself, cos other people did it or are doing it, does that make it right?

My advice to you guys is this, while you all are busy supporting everything this govt is doing, think about the precedents they are setting. Buhari won't be in power for ever.

Sorry

e governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari, has tackled the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, for criticising his response to the outbreak of meningitis in several northern states.

Mr. Yari, whose state has been worst hit by the epidemic, with over 200 people killed, had told journalists that Nigerians were facing divine punishment for their sins.

But speaking in Kaduna last week, Mr. Sanusi said the comment was an example of “a complete failure of social policy.”

“We are fighting culture and we are fighting civilisation,” he said. “For us to address social policy, we have to reclaim our religion.”

“Don’t give these kind of explanations. That is not an Islamically correct statement to make.

“(If) you don’t have vaccines, you don’t have vaccines; Go and get vaccines,” the emir said.
Mr. Yari responded Saturday with fury. He accused the emir of hypocrisy, and advised him to “practise what he preaches” or “keep his peace”.

Read below the governor’s full statement signed by Ibrahim Dosara, his special adviser on public enlightenment and communication:

For those who consider the emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II tobe anything but a first class intellectual, a consummate banker and a bona fide member of Nigeria’s royalty, the last couple of weeks were a dizzying spectacle of mixed messages on integrity, royalty and wisdom. Within a perimeter of weeks, HRH Muhammadu Sanusi II, whose royal tentacles and social networks traverse the length and breadth of this country, lambasted the nation’s economic framework, the northern elite, sub-national leadership especially the governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar, and the traditional institution of marriage.

All frontiers that we hold so dear. With due respect to our highly revered traditional institutions and royal fathers, as a blue- blooded family member himself, Hon Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar holds the emir in very high esteem. He believes that the emir as a brother and co-occupant of elite positions in Nigeria, he could
advise governors and those in positions of authority in several chains of communication that are richly available to him. But he preferred the public platform, for reasons best known to him.

Governor Yari firmly believes that a country that goes to its pastors and Imams who recommend
prayer and fasting as the solution to every social misfortune, from matrimonial disagreements, to
social and economic complications needs to be wary of the wrath of God in the event of an epidemic of unquantifiable proportion such as Type C meningitis. And as a country that succumbs to the supremacy of Allah, we must continue to link Him with all things, fair or foul.

Those who want to equate science with God, like HRH Muhammadu Sanusi II, can denounce Yari’s statement from the rooftops but that will not
change Governor Yari’s beliefs in the omniscience, omnipresence and omnipotence of Allah.

By a certain bizarre coincidence too, like a prophesy foretold, Sheikh Mahmood Jaafar had
before he was assassinated named Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as one of those whose hypocrisy would bring an epidemic of monumental proportions to this country. The tapes are very much in circulation long after Sheikh Jaafar’s death.

He had argued in that sermon that “Sanusi Lamido is one of the enemies of Islam who would
assume all traits of a good Muslim but deep inside them is a hatred of Islam, and the people far beyond human imagination.” Could this be a prophecy foretold? However, the emir should be
aware that Allah who gives power to whoever He wills at His own time, also takes it away at the most inauspicious time. As elected officials, we are obliged to serve people just as we serve God.

Within this precinct Governor Yari has done his best. As representatives of the best of our traditions, our Emirs, chiefs, kings and queens are also obliged to lead by example, show empathy,
adjudicate with compassion, display wisdom and embrace the fear of God, in all they do. In this HRH Muhammadu Sanusi II is struggling.

Recently, our erudite emir has been mired in several controversies, which rather than enhance his profile and the integrity of royalty, have put him very much on the spot. And the emir has put up a spirited defense of all the allegations against him. But he was not transparent enough, as he always accused officials, especially governors, to tell the public what he found in the Kano Emirate palace coffers when he ascended the exalted throne.

This is the least of his people’s expectations of him. It was the first that our finest royalty would offer.

Sacrifice is another attribute known to our royal fathers. But when an emir pledges to commit his hard earned resources for the face-lifting of the palace where he alone would reside and eventually transfers the burden to his impoverished subjects, there is a breach, or a problem.

Late Sultan Ibrahim Dasuki, of blessed memory, used his money to rebuild the Sultan’s Palace in
Sokoto to his taste, but until his demise, he never tendered the bill to his subjects for reimbursement.

Over time, we know our traditional fathers for their compassion. When their friends from far and near offer to assist them, they would rather the assistance was given to alleviate the sufferings of their people in cash or kind. But for a traditional ruler who identifies the problems of his people and utters these words: “We are in denial.

The north-west and the north-east, demographically, constitute the bulk of Nigeria’s population, but look at human development indices, look at the number of children out of school, look at adult literacy, look at maternal mortality, look at infant mortality, look at girl-child completion rate, look at income per capita.

The north-east and the north-west Nigeria are among the poorest parts of the world,” and yet when his friends offered help, he asks for a Rolls Royce.

There is more than a fundamental problem. There is a big disconnect. Like Governor Yari has always said, his respect for our creator will never waver. He will also rue joining issues with royalty, in Nigeria or anywhere in the world. He maintains that his reverence of the institution that HRH Muhammadu Sanusi II represents is also unshaken.

Hon Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar is only
asking HRH to either practice what he preaches or forever keep his peace, because in a situation
where epidemics are taking our children, maternal mortality, uneducated youth, social vices and incompetent leaders are the national scourge, to borrow thewords of the emir, and all he wants to do is ride a Rolls Royce in the face of palpable poverty, he shouldn’t engage in throwing
accusations at others.

Kano kingdom is an important kingdom amongst the kingdoms in Africa. It is also an important and strategic institution in the history of Nigeria. The occupants of the seat before HRH Muhammadu Sanusi II played a significant and dignified role in making Nigeria what it is today.

They respected themselves. HRH should emulate his predecessors and not play to the gallery in a
manner that ridicules his own
heritage.

Playing with our intelligence right? Trying to turn it into a PMB vs GEJ

Nigeria don tire me

akereconfi:
Leicester barely touched the ball and you here saying first 15 minutes.

What's with you Nigerians and over hyping. Please do have a seat

Sorry okay if I offened you

RicardozRichard:
Nigerian seems to watch their sports on a made in China television or streaming video

Ndidi dominant against athletico , huh ok lemme come and be wenting

He is a defensive midfielder and his job is to protect the back four which is did very well. In the second half he was even given the responsibility of man making Griz, that's why you didn't see the French international's influence in that half.

akereconfi:
Maybe dominant has a different meaning because what i watched last night, he was running like a headless chicken.


Greizman sat him down once

you clearly watched only the first 15mins

jagugu88li:
Ask me to never quote you please........Jesu, did i just kowut him.

pls quote me! Explain what the above means cos I don't understand one bit.

OlajumokeBread:

Super story

Believe anything a white man tells you at your own peril

That's how they enslaved us with the story of some imaginary God, Jesus Christ and religion

Nothing will fly anywhere

you are confused you know. If you don't believe in God or religion, it means you dont believe in creation according to the bible. The only option left is that you believe in the big bang theory, which is the scientific story of creation. So this news should excite you but it doesn't. Now you understand why I said you are confused ryt?

sarrki:
God bless you

A salient question

you don't need a permit to protest okay. Knowledge is key!

I personally would love a one Nigeria where there is peace and unity of purpose. But truth has to be said, the one Nigeria we have now is not working because its a fraud, a big fat lie. We are only pretending. Everyone in govt, past and present, is first looking out for his tribe before any where else. And that's not how leadership works. Even from the president's body language, its obvious he also doesn't believe in one Nigeria.

So what's the way out, lets sort things out. We brag about our diversity. How far has it taken us? Not too far. Why? Because diversity isn't about putting a bunch of people with different background together in a room. Its more than that. Its about giving every tribe a sense of belonging. Its about us all acknowledging that yes we are different, we obviously are, but then accepting to live together based on the things we share in common. And that can only work if there is equity, fairness and justice. But if we can't guarantee that, like it is currently, then no mincing words, a breakup would be the best option.

sarrki:
Why this kind news for night?


Wailers will have another sleepless night

you must be a bot. Because statistically speaking with the number of comments you drop each day on various threads, you should have atleast said one meaningful thing by now. Even if its by accident.

Bashirfuntua:
I'm APC supporter but I don't like what is happening to PDP. at least we need strong opposition.

you are an APC supporter for real? BBN don finish oh, better go hide.

curiositymaster:
I'm beginning to have this feeling that all these killer diseases and insurgences in Africa and the middle east are weapons used by the oyibos so they may wipe us all out and inherit our God-given gifts (mineral resources).

Make una come see Yari pikin oh

I'm scared! Cos all I can see is Buhari winning again come 2019.

Guy tell us those sponsoring Boko Haram. This country is a joke oh. Who cares how much he earned? Is he now a celebrity? Nawao for Nigeria matter! Security agency allow show news filter out to the public. Wouldn't that act as an incentive for more people to join the sect? Phew!

Any nation that doesn't take education and healthcare seriously is never going to grow. I'm yet to see a govt in Nigeria make education or healthcare its core mandates.

What is Buhari's policy on health?

Education? Its clear for all to see that the educational sector needs a reform but I have never heard this govt talk about that all important sector.

We just keep running round cycles. By this time next year, there will be another outbreak of meningitis, the scenario will play out exactly the way it is right now.

In the midst of all this stupidity going on, take time out to ponder on this- Yesterday, a self driving shuttle was tested on the streets of London. Yesterday, Buhari's tech minister test drove a wooden car in Abuja.
