 Properties › Re: Holes On The Walls Of My Factory. Under Construction. What Is Happening? by Redman44(op): 8:51pm On Feb 12, 2018 |
Flexherbal:Thanks, Sir. I have been following the building of the factory since we started in November 2017. I have now resolved to be more concerned with the quality of materials used from now on. Though I compare prices of building materials when I receive quotes from the supervisor ( My mum ), I want to take a harder approach concerning the project. I will personally interview any new worker on the site handling other aspects of the project. I want to hear the views of other people concerning the holes in the walls  . |
| Properties › Holes On The Walls Of My Factory. Under Construction. What Is Happening? by Redman44(op): 8:38pm On Feb 12, 2018 |
Hello everyone, thanks for your threads and comments in the Property Section of this great site. So I am building a Factory in Ikorodu, Lagos, Nigeria. We have reached the level stage and the pillars have been casted. I am not physically on ground to monitor this project. My mum is in charge of it. However, while looking at pictures I received today via email, I noticed that there were a lot of holes on the walls, both inside and outside. I am thinking the concrete blocks are not of a high quality and I am not happy about the holes. However, the supervisor said the holes came about because of the ladders or wood placed on the walls as the Bricklayers laid the blocks from level to level. What do you think is happeneing ? I have attached some pictures so you can see what I am talking about. I need some advice from you and what can be done to cover the holes. 9 inch concrete blocks have been used for the whole project. Please let me hear from you. Thanks.

There are many things to do besides frying akara that can bring in money on a daily basis. With a population of 170+ Million people, Nigeria is a fertile ground for entrepreneurs who know what they are doing. It is possible to make more than 150,000 naira monthly frying and selling akara. It is possible. Do you know how much Buka operators make on a monthly basis? do you know how much can be made from a bag of beans in the akara business? People will eat and there are many workers coming back from work that will stop by to buy akara that they intend to eat at home with bread or soak garri with  4 Likes 1 Share |

chaerman:China does the same thing. The Chinese copy models of US Products and mass produce them. The Japanese also started by copying things from other countries. Innoson is really trying. As time goes on, they will have their own designs of Cars. Let Nigerians start creating things by copying things they see on TV and the internet. As time goes on, we will have our own unique designs.

Many guys are building homes and factories in different parts of Nigeria and they are discreet about it  So what Victor Anichebe is doing is not extraordinary. He should have completed the house before announcing its existence to the world. People should learn to be discreet about their activities these days.

Instead of Ezeemo, Channels TV should have invited Yul Edochie of the DPC to the debate. I don't know why Yul was not invited, and I pray that the decision to overlook Yul for the debate would come back to bite the organizers of this debate in the buttocks. Yul Edochie could easily garner enough votes to cause an upset in the election on the 18th of November. Lets wait and See . |

Anthony Joshua should be very careful I am not saying he should not be friendly towards the Otedolas but he needs to stick to his principles. He has a lot of fights ahead of him and he needs to be in top shape. The world of professional boxing is a Dog eat Dog World. I don't see anything special in DJ Cuppy, by the way  . There are many other boxers now who want to pull Anthony Joshua down and make him look ordinary. A sportsman has to be in top shape. Besides, it looks the careers of guys that date DJ Cuppy goes down the drain as soon as they start dating. |

erico2k2:The wages in most professions in the UK across the cities are not too different. I know what I am saying. Except in some Industries like IT ( Sheffield is the UK's capital for IT ) and Oil Industry and its numerous service jobs. As a teacher, you can earn more outside London as a Freelance or Contract Staff. Then it is far cheaper to live in Cities like Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester and Liverpool. Bristol is just like London. Bristol is very expensive to live in. However, I am talking about being a 'Hand Work' person and running a service of your own. People are talking about Bank Managers and white collar jobs. Do you know how much a self employed painter earns in the UK? Or how much Carpenters earn on Contracts as self employed tradesmen? TRADESMEN are the ones balling big time in the UK, USA and Canada because they are mostly self regulated. If you are a TRADESMAN, learn to keep your mouth shut. Cheers. |

London is a very expensive city to live in. Unless you are an Investment Banker, Property Rentals Guru or Russian/Chinese Billionaire, you need to run away from London and head to the West Midlands or Liverpool or Manchester. And if you are skilled in Carpentry, Plumbing, Electrical Services or you are a qualified Gas Engineer, you will make loads of money and will live a rich but quiet life. The truth is 'Hand Work' pays better than office work in the UK, USA and Canada or many western nations if you know what you are doing and can keep your mouth shut. If you can keep your mouth shut about the money handed to you in CASH by your clients, you will last a long time in the 'Hand Work' lifestyle. Cheers. 2 Likes |

@hoodari Richmond is a wealthy area of London. So accommodation there will be expensive. Intelligent Nigerians who know what they want to achieve in the UK live in Cities like Birmingham, Coventry and Liverpool. And they work as Carpenters, Plumbers and Gas Engineers. Some of them own Private cleaning companies. You can laugh if you want to but these people are making more money than office workers in the UK, minus the Investment Bankers . 1 Like 1 Share |

| Business › Re: 16 Businesses To Start In Nigeria With N50,000 Or Less by Redman44(m): 4:46pm On Oct 10, 2017 |
One thing People need to realize is that there is a difference between Running a Business to take care of immediate needs, and Running a Business to make profit and grow into a larger company. Ideally, if you have not expanded your business two years after starting out, then you are just running your business to take care of yourself and family. You should have employed 2-3 people after two years in Business. And it is not about the economy. It is more about your target market and innovation in your Business. Cheers. 5 Likes |

If you are not disciplined with money and time, you can't run any of the Businesses listed by the OP successfully. A lot of people are already running many of the businesses mentioned but a good number of them are not really successful entrepreneurs. You can't be running a business and spending profits made on bills, transport fare etc. How many people actually reinvest profits and money made into the business? so there is the need to be disciplined and have a good business plan. 5 Likes |

This man should charge 50 naira per crossing for this task. The 20 Naira is too small. And he should go and get a Wellington boot ( 2nd hand or new ). There is nothing wrong with what he is doing. He just wants to put food on his table. If more Nigerians are thinking creatively, this country will be the better for it. |

But there is nothing wrong with the letter. I am really happy that our Native Doctors can now write letters in meaningful English. I don't believe there is anything wrong with Native medicine as long as it is not being used to harm other People. We should be proud of our herbs and plants and traditional way of curing diseases. All these western drugs are not 100% effective and many of them have side effects that are not that good for our body. All these Priests in the shrines should desist from blood money rituals and concentrate on developing Native Plant Syrups that will cure diseases and ailments. Bitter leaf is effective in curing many intestinal ailments and afflictions. Cheers 2 Likes |

[quote author=dbynonetwork post=58072525][/quote]How is it expensive, my brother? We should be thinking of long term investments instead of selling imported things like Perfumes, clothes, shoes etc. Some of these Food Production Machines are cheap if you can save up the money. And some of them don't require electricity or they are manually operated. Even if you buy a Generator to use them, you will end up making more profit in the long run. Be Patient and Save to go into Food Production. Cheers. |

You can't go wrong with food production business. People will EAT. So sit down and think of small food production machinery that you can import without stress and start making things like Biscuits, Ice Cream, Smoothies, Plantain Chips, Coconut chips ( Source your Coconuts and Plantain from Farming communities in Nigeria. You will get them cheaper that way ). Use your brain Cheers. 3 Likes |

Get any job if you can't get a office job. Save up for some months. Import small machinery that you can use to start small food products businesses that will set you on the way to becoming a Industrialist like Dangote. You can start Plantain Chips business. The sealing machine for the plastic bag that will contain your plantain chips is on all these China sites. You can use these Chinese sites to start a small Snacks production company. It is not about importing cosmetics, clothes, shoes all the time. There are small machinery on Indian and Chinese sites that you can import, stay in your house and use these machines to start a small factory in a shed in your backyard producing fast moving food products like Chin Chin, Plantain Chips, Bar Soap etc. Think outside the Box.

| Christianity Etc › Re: Why Many Youths Are No Longer Going To Church by Redman44(m): 4:16pm On Jun 11, 2017 |
Hmn. I have read so many comments here. Let me be honest with you all. I started going to church at a very early age ( White Garment church ) but I have never felt or saw it as a big deal. It was just a normal thing for me and I did not feel any different after those services. I have also attended Pentecostal Churches as an adult ( RCCG and MFM ) and I still feel the same as I have always felt since my childhood. Something just tells me that there is a disconnect between what Modern Christianity is offering us and what true Christianity really is. I can't point a finger to what the problem is but I feel the problem with Nigeria is that Religion is affecting the PRODUCTIVITY of Nigerians. People want Miracles without working hard to achieve things. People are not thinking deeply to solve their problems and are not willing to do any job to raise the Capital to launch their businesses. Pastors, Imams and Men of God should not be the Superstars that they are viewed as today. They should be modest and really focus on seeing to the welfare of their members with the money realized from tithes and offerings. Let the church be beautiful but modest and not extravagant. I am not just into Religion anymore. I just want to make the best out of my life, help other people achieve their dreams and leave a legacy for my descendants. Cheers. 6 Likes 1 Share |

But why is RCCG getting more involved in Politics these days? I don't like this at all. Call it what you want, but this visit by Theresa May to RCCG is to get the backing of Black Christians in London who traditionally support the Labour Party. It might have worked in swinging the numbers for David Cameron in 2015, but Theresa May is not David Cameron. They are poles apart when it comes to Intelligence and Personality.

All what Nigeria needs is just a 'Crazy' but very visionary Postmaster General who will turn the fortunes of NIPOST around without caring whose ox is gored. A Postmaster General that will not hesitate to sack lazy NIPOST workers and replace them with young and hardworking Nigerians who are ready to work and get parcels to Nigerians in their homes. A Postmaster General who will assess all the Post Offices and Postal Agencies in the nooks and crannies of Nigeria, look at the number of vehicles available and start working out how to make the Parastatal profitable without caring who is unhappy with his actions. We are living in a world of international trade where it is possible to buy things online from companies based in different countries of the world. All NIPOST needs to do is to key into this global trade in products and find a way to convince Nigerians to pay some amount of money for their parcels, packages and orders to be delivered to them in their homes. People who have cars can be employed by NIPOST to work as Parcel Delivery Agents on Saturdays and Sundays. NIPOST is leaving so much money on the table that remains to be claimed. Biko, God give our rulers brains to think. Amen. |
