lavylilly: Based on what you've shared, I would recommend Option 1: Receptionist (₦50,000).
Here's why:
It pays ₦20,000 more immediately, which matters if you're currently broke.
It keeps you in the hospitality industry, where you already have experience.
A receptionist role can expose you to guests, hotel operations, and networking that may lead to better opportunities.
However, Option 2 becomes more attractive if the promise is genuine. If the gas station owner is someone you know well, has a track record of keeping his word, and has clearly committed to moving you into the new hotel in December with a significantly better salary, then it could be a worthwhile investment.
My suggestion would be:
If the hotel receptionist job is just another low-paying job with no growth, and you trust the church member to fulfill his promise, then choose the gas station supervisor role because it has a clear path to a better position in a few months.
If you're not completely sure the December opportunity will happen, take the ₦50k receptionist job. You can always switch later if the hotel opportunity becomes real.
Since both jobs are within trekking distance, transportation isn't a deciding factor.
In short:
Need the higher income now and certainty? → Receptionist (₦50k).
Trust the church member and believe the December promotion is solid? → Gas station supervisor (₦30k) for the longer-term opportunity.
A final piece of advice: Don't rely on verbal promises alone. If you choose the gas station role, politely ask the owner what the transition to the hotel will look like (expected salary, role, and timeline). Even an informal written confirmation via WhatsApp can provide more certainty.
Thank you Sir for ur contribution I have started the hotel job but is stressful bc no porter so i work as a porter also Am thinking of meeting the gas man tomorrow Or if posible i do the two works
Drebreezer: Bros no blood stool No anus pull out Pains at d end of the anus I was in the hospital yesterday in warri but the surgeon said it's leteral internal sphintology it's would could me 500k for the operation Bros I left there I don't want operation same thing I did in benin ran away because of operations in benin it was 550k. I only need a medication, medicine,herbal or anything that would cure it perfectly without operation and I believe dea is a cure instead of operation
If you are in port harcourt i would've connect you to sb that can cure you herbaly
laivwire: Please and please, never ever depend on oral promises. He's only out to use you and keep you working because you're expectant. It's an old formula adn you would end up disappointed.
Go for the receptionist with a better salary. You would also have some time to sit until fuel attendant that you'd stand all day for less money.
Ok Though the gas stand is just one & am not the one selling sha Mine is to be cross checking the sales & won't there always.
Hello House, am tired of being jobless & being broke. A menial jobs just comes my way, so pls choose for me & pls don't laugh @ the salaries
1.) Receptionist in a hotel Salary: 50k 2.) Supervior in a gas refill station Salary: 30k All trekable.
Note: No.2 has a good prospective job The owner of the gas station is my church member & he is building a hotel that will be open in December & he said i would switch & work there as a supervisor with a good salary bc i have years experience in hospitality industries.
Doveheart: Hello Nairalanders, This is what I just noticed in my friend's house each time I visit. His mother in law actually came to do omugwo, taking care and staying with the baby when his mum has gone to work. but to my surprise, I discovered she is the one doing the house chores, sweeping, watching both the husband's (my friend) clothes and the wife's clothes together with the baby's clothes. She cooks and serves everybody's food while the wife only give the food to the husband. The wife seldom enter the kitchen even on weekends when everyone is around. I told my friend about my observation and he said he feels it strange to him too. Please nairalanders how do you understand this scenario whether is normal or abnormal. The mother in-law is yoruba and my friend also is Yoruba.
In old days that's how it used to be She is teaching her daughter things so when she is gone her daughter will continue.

Roseodd: 120k can't feed me in a month sir that's just where the problem is. I thought Treasury bill is 25 percent in 91days,that's 900k in 3 months or what I saw online is not correct please can you explain to me sir
Hmm u mean 120k can't feed only u a month When am here surviving with 20k a month as i don't have a job yet.
Goldrosewine: This does not imply sexual interests, abeg o just bored today on this holiday and I have decided to rant here, since I saw a similar post recently about a guy saying confidence is what a lady cannot resist in a man. I won't appreciate any unsolicited messages🙏
Dentition: Gap teeth (you know what I mean, especially a small one right between the central incisors) or just between the lateral incisor and canine)
Thick wrist (not fats deposit, just wrists with a wide circumference)
Minimal or no bodily hairs. Yeah a lot will hate me for this, just my opinion which may change or not. But those beards, chest or armpit hairs? Taah!
Height. However you must not be too tall. I am 5:9 so anything from 5:6 to 5:11 is perfect.
Modesty and awesomeness (not extreme masculinity) I am not a feminist abeg. I like guys that are gentle, pull the chair for you at the restaurant, hold an umbrella for you, hold the door open for you, just being a gentleman. Absolute modesty and simple too. Not a show off dude haha!
Healthy lifestyle. There is nothing I dislike more than a guy who smokes or drinks or do both. I don't just dislike them, I h-word them. Take your good health seriously guys, go for rehab if you need to.
Small inner circle. Guys with few or no friends. The introvert who enjoys his own company.
Respectful. The guy that still prostrate to greet his dad at 30 years, still run errands for his mom at 35 (not necessarily because he is living with them, but maybe sometimes when he visits or when they give him an emergency call) that level of respect is the norm for every omoluabi.
Not bald. As much as I dislike body hairs, e no reach head abeg🤣
Belly fat. (Not pot belly) I love belly fat in a man, especially the type that gives him the wealthy boy vibe when he's in a native. I don't know but in Benin republic, I once saw this muscular, six pack guy that bullied people and he had an altercation with this gentle guy who looks ordinary, he even had a fatty belly. Against what people thought, it was the muscular guy that needed saving o, see blue black beating. Lol. It kind of left an impression on me.
Speech intelligence. Even if you no know book, just have good oratory skills and be eloquent. I would like to see my man on a podium speaking with great eloquence while I sit in the crowd or assembly just admiring him and looking at how other ladies are admiring him😊🥰🥰🥰 aiish
Phobia. Scared of snakes or rats or spiders or cocroaches lol even my cousin would tell me I will never find this trait in a Nigerian man. But I am not scared of those things. So I would really like a guy that has such fears, that way I would be able to do something for him and it would make me feel good🤦🙈 it's hard to explain honestly.🥲🥲
Ambitious. he dreams big, not jealous of success, just envying it and ambitious to reach the top too.
Laughs a lot. That would be golden!
He cries. Like, weep Take this from me. If you ever express your sadness in tears while in your girl's arm, it does something to her heart... she'd start clutching to you so hard. Don't be manly all the time. Sometimes, just let the feelings flow. Life is already hard for everyone, talkless a man.🥺 I feel u guys.
Straight legs No vex but I dislike wobbly legs... and many guys have come to have a sort of disfigured legs due to bad walking posture, trying to copy one silly trend or so, etc.
Gentle with kids and pets That would be another golden trait!
Extremely decent with words and actions when in public The way he eats, talks, interact, just everything. Especially in Nigeria where people judge you by your countenance and how you 'carry' yourself.
You know the sort of guys that gleefully talk about women's body parts in public? That's so uncouth and all ladies detest such.
Kalulu44: Good evening and happy Easter to you all. Guys, I need your say or contribution to this weird situation at my place of work.
My place of work is a hotel/apartment where people lodge.
Some minutes ago, 3 people (2 male 1 female) wearing white garment came and said they were directed by the owner of the place who's abroad to come and pray.
They started their prayers by placing and burning candles at the 4 corners of the hotel.
Which now infuriated the lodgers who are mostly guys. They came out and started threatening to stop the prayers and put off the candlelights. It has been pleading upon pleading from me and my fellow workers. . They're insinuating that the owner of the place wants to take or be using their glory and destiny. As I am typing this now, they have all left their rooms, saying they can't sleep there. Not even one person is remaining, though they have all paid. And will come tmrw to come lay complain to the owners daughter who manages the place but only comes during the day.
According to some of them, they have never seen a thing like that before. And if the owner must do such. She should have set a day aside when we won't take in any lodger and then do whatever prayers they like. . Honestly, since I started working there this is the first time I'm seeing such or anywhere. I just pray it won't hinder people from coming to lodge here again.
So guys, what is your thought about this?
I'm looking for a hotel to manage in Port harcourt, i wish is in ph.
