The gay loving Satan worshippers in Israel and US are about to learn something new. The drones will be used to weaken the Iron Dome just in preparation for the real attack from all fronts—Iran, Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq.

The hypocrites in Nigeria should keep supporting oppression.

How baised can a country be.
It doesn't matter what isreal does, even it kills a country's president, we don't have a choice than to defend it.
What a stupid statement

Very biased and evil. What's even more alarming is the number of biased, and very useless hypocrites in Nigeria supporting evil and oppression through and through.

shadrach77:
I heard another prophecy that it will be Prince Harry (surprisingly) who will be the next king

I saw the prediction too. It's possible, but according to the amended law, he might not be invited back into the house. Also, only a Prince(ess) who lives within the UK can become a monarch.

Though anything can happen but you see him and his uncle, Prince Andrew e go hard for dem o.

Ah. Someone here on nairaland said this o, though based on the new order of 1989. He also chipped in that Prince Williams will never be king.

Britain will most likely be ruled by Princess Anne or Prince Edward. Let's watch sha.

yemmie:
Is this a concidence ? The new order of 1989 indicated charles will not last on throne?
Is this preemtive ...
There also a statement william will not be the successor of king charles ...

Hmmmm

Hello sir @Yemmie, I find your posts quite deep. Please what's the new order of 1989. Quick Google search were bringing up a musical band.

Any link or more info will be appreciated.


Thanks.

The Johnsons... Thank you ooo.

The show will never be the same again without this woman. It just feels like a home where the mother dies.

Ada Ameh still remains one of the best actresses to ever grace our (modern) screen. She acts with ease, professionalism and perfection, almost as if there were no cameras around.

Basically, she effortlessly brings the typical life of a Nigerian suburban family to the reels.

Very sad that her personal life, towards the end of her existence, was filled with turmoil.😢😢

Though, the show ought to have ended around Nov/Dec, 2022.

So bad
She probably felt empty inside

You have a deep, insightful mind. That's most likely the case. The business of porn is one of the dirtiest, most dangerous and the industry is mostly populated with broken people.

Compared to other industries, they have the highest suicide rate, one of the highest murder rate and also the highest drug use rate.

Their careers usually lasts for 2 years. It's true that they might gain some momentary satisfaction in form of money and (sexual) attention. But in the end, they lose more than what they bargained for.

The money goes, health goes, reputation goes, addictions set it, depression and drug use, shattered relationship with partners and families. Plus the lives they've ruined by enabling pornography and masturbation through the contents they produce.

Many porn users might not know, a lot of those actresses are drug and disease-riddled, suicidal, and most likely faking all the nonsense they're doing on-screen.

What a sad industry!

Dr Gerrard@ gerrard59. What's your view sir?

Anambra is getting there gradually. Not everyone has the mind to stomach all those things.

Burial expenses should be kept as minimal as possible. Ostentatious displays does not do the dead any good and only burdens the living financially and emotionally. Of what use is borrowing money to showoff during burial? To please who?

Plus it's just gross disrespect, abuse of the dead, and also prolonging of the grief of the living to keep dead bodies without burial.

Grief should keep shortened anyhow possible, and not to be prolonged.

You took the words out of my mouth. I derive more entertainment from his rants and shenanigans than his music.

Hello bro @Whizzdom, sorry about what you're currently facing.

What you're going through is most likely a combo of self-induced and ototoxic deafness.

By ototoxic, I mean drugs which can cause deafness or other ear-related problems as a side effect. You ought not to have started your work ASAP. Discontinue for at least 10days. It's your ear/hearing we are talking here!

What you should do now is buy ear muffs/plugs. And if you can't afford it, use cotton wool to plug out those noise. Then go to the hospital for diagnosis.

I'll post a link to my psot on a similar issue.

Nigeria is definitely not one of P&G's strongest market. The ROI is not justifying the investment on ground.

Had Nigerian been a working nation that supports it's SMEs, this is the best chance for upcoming FMCGs in the country to fill the gap.

Similar issue happened in '91 during Babangida's SAP, but the business terrain then is still less stifling that what we have now.

Too bad, as thousands of jobs (direct and indirect) will be lost. But who can blame the company? Companies follow profit not emotions.

Indian Managers are result-oriented and too focused on getting the job done with the littlest of resources.

To achieve this, they always tend towards micromanaging, overworking and short-changing you. And they seem quite racist while at it. An Indian fresh off the boat in Nigeria has a higher chance of being given key posts over you an experienced Nigerian.

Though one area where they always shine over Nigerians is that they hardly defraud or mismanage your/their company and that's why they are the darlings of top Nigerian firms.

Hello sir @Perfectgen, has the issue of your certificate been addressed? Based on your overall experience now, can you advise new students to take the programe?

We hear you!

I agree to her point that a top earning professional should not abandon his career to be a cleaner in Canada. He should rather seek for a dual citizenship or preferably send his family over there and then gradually plan to join them.

However, an average Nigerian that has the opportunity to go to Canada should grab it with two hands, at least he has hopes to live in a sane society.

She looks like a Somali-Canadian. Why didn't she stay put in Somalia? I'll not be surprised if she's from an elite family in Somalia, or she probably came to Canada by seeking asylum. Abeg shift!

Dollyak:
Firstly, she should have been rushed to the hospital, instead of being taken to mortuary. Some Nigerians who have been pronounced dead were not clinically dead and could have been saved with better emergency care. She was probably unconscious and presumed dead until too late.

This is the sanest thing to do, and I'm sure many Nigerians would love to do so. But this can invite serious trouble for you.

First, the Hospitals will not treat her without a police report.

Secondly, if they do treat her and no relative comes forward, her bill will be pinned on you, and you will not be allowed to leave.

Finally, if she dies you'll be held responsible for her death, and no amount of explanation may absolve you from the accusations on the part of the police and her relatives.

Nigeria is too bleeped up. If a rich, influential and national gem like Dr. Chike Akunyili can die miserably in the open with everybody looking on and not rendering any assistance (taking him to the hospital/first aid) without the killers brought to book then know that you are on your own.

So sad.

flyinnizam:
I heard people always saying don't tell anyone about your travel movement but is it actually possible?

It is very difficult but possible. In a case where you cannot afford to be totally mute, tell only people that absolutely need to know.

Nigeria is just too hot to disclose such piece of info to just any body. It is better to err on the side of caution o.

oluwaseyi0:
Yet no protests from Muslims for the government refusing to name and shame terrorist sponsors so we can't boycott the terrorists business

Seyi, terrorism is the business of the elites, not Muslims. Some of these elites might be Muslims, but Muslims do no support their act. Nigerians feel the country is a lost cause, hence channel their aggression to other places.

Those who came out to protest during October 20th, how many have gotten justice? It is very hard to protest for the betterment of this country because when you die in cause, everybody will carry on, and you'll be forget almost the instant that happens.

I'd be always grateful to work in private companies (two actually) though it was filled bitter-sweet experiences.

The bitter experiences majorly are toxic office politics, racism/tribalism, insane amount of pressure, zero job security.

The sweet experiences includes; great pay, rich amount of experience (if you want to start your own company in the same industry).

For upcoming entrepreneurs and those desirous of starting their own company, a well-structured private company is a great launching pad.

Odewaleadesoye:
Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has asserted that a large percentage of religion is “scam.”

According to him, religion was created centuries ago by men with the intention of dividing and ruling over others.

The controversial thespian made the assertion via his Instagram story recently where he wrote:



DAILY POST

Too much ignorance in one post. Is he depending on the popular narrative to make claims or has he done any in-depth research to justify his claim.

Though this is not to say that Africans have not bastardized religion.

Hkana:
Wa alaikum salaam warahmatulahi wabarakatuh brother. I am just concerned about her as she hasn't been away for this long before. If you don't mind my asking, have you had any direct contact with her lately?

My concern is borne out of the fact that when I noticed ikupakuti's absence then, I had dismissed it as him being busy with stuff. It's been years since and no one knows why he left.

I'm just trying not to make same mistake twice

Yes brother, I have been in contact with her of recent, sometimes last month and she's doing very fine. It's definitely work-related.

I understand your concerns o, and we definitely cannot lose communication with our other Shekihs o.

Still on the lookout for Sheikh Ikupakuti...

⚡️Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel are disrespectful not only to the beliefs of Palestinian Muslims but also to Christians.

They spit at Christian pilgrims passing through the Old City of 🇮🇱 Jerusalem.

Dim-witted hypocrites on Nairaland supporting the oppressive imposter-state of Israel needs to see this!

Being a black and a Christian is a suicide mission in Israel.

Osanoghodua1:
Are you kidding me! Mossad usually help secure European nations from terrorist attacks through timely intelligence sharing. Mossad has Intel everywhere even among the militants cartel. They may have allowed this to happen in other to crush them and take more territories. Or God decided to allow it for some end time prophesy. Iran may be tempted to directly join the war and this will mean end to the Islamic regime and their nuclear programs. Don't play with Israel not even Russia can bring them down.

Lolz, the Holy City-State Israel of David and Solomon is absolutely different from this gay-supporting, oppressive, land-grabbing apartheid imposter even if it occupies roughly the space of ancient Israel.

The hypocrisy of Nigerians on this platform stinks to high heavens! You demonize Russia, and support Ukraine. Because you feel they are the oppressed. But you peeps turn around to support Israel against Palestine because you feel the former is a god-owned state.

In addition to the hypocrisy here, many are very very ignorant. Being a black and a Christian in Israel is almost a death sentence. Yet you see the mofos supporting the apartheid state.

Nonsense!

FiftyFifty:
If you are in favour of Ukraine but not of Palestine, if you condemn Russia but not Israel, then you've reached the pinnacle of hypocrisy.

Many married people are i know dey my Facebook begging me for money. They mostly did big weddings. In this day and age. Just carry your wife to court. Everything no go cost up to 100k. Be wise

I dey tell you sir. Exactly what you said was what a friend of mine did. One blissful evening, he carried his bride to court. Just few witnesses, and boom he's married.

Except you're very boxed, one should not even pressure himself for anybody.

adeiza4u:
This was me in 2019 when I got posted to kaduna. It was like death sentence. But I prayed, consulted and moved on. And here's me still balling in KD after NYSC. Thing is, pray about it and put all fear behind you, except God is telling you not to go.
Also, make sure you serve in the city, Christian dominated areas preferably like Sabo, Barnawa, Television, Samrada or Romi New Extension. Trikania is better too. Live in any of these places, and you'll only hear of evil activities as if you're in other State. Above all, let God guide you bro.

You should have asked for his religion before making recommendations. And I heard you mentioning Sabo? Really? The same Sabo that you dare not stroll at night with your phone?

@Op, Kaduna is a lovely place to be. It's one of the melting pots we have in Nigeria. If you are posted to the city, do well to stay in mixed areas spanning from Barnawa, Constitution Road, Kigo New Extension, Shooting range, Trikania, Mando etc. You'll have a wholesome experience.

Gerrard59:
I had to quote all. Thanks for the insight. I appreciate.

I know the bold and drank his drink years back. Another mention is Integrated Dairies. She started operations in 2003 and begin production in the 2010s. Got an investment from Vetiva Capital. Agribusiness takes time to gestate, which is why lower taxes and security are paramount. As for those erstwhile governors, I am not fazed as we know how things are done in Nigeria. It is like being fascinated with Obasanjo's Farms. I also know Saro Agrosciences, yeah, one of the most structured seed companies around.

This article has been in my bookmarks for almost ten years! http://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-africa/21653616-what-milk-trade-reveals-about-country-uncowed

L&Z still produces, and hopefully generates profits?

You're welcome sir. You're well in the know regarding Nigeria's agroallied space o!

Will check out the article right away.

Yeah, L&Z is still consistent with their production, but profit, not really sure...

Gerrard59:
To an extent, I agree, especially in "dirtier/hands-on industries". However, anyone with an HBS MBA degree is expected to have a strong network regardless of the country. A Nigerian with an HBS degree who moves to Brazil should be able to call/meet folks who are influential in the business community. So, what is Mehta doing that Nwuneli is not? To even think both Nwunelis are HBS MBA holders. So double connect, yet nothing comot.



That is because the kind of crops they work on has less economic value compared to Mehta. I have not checked for a long time, but the seeds I saw there are not economically viable, in my opinion. It does not move the needle regarding agribusiness. But to each his/her own.



I noticed the same. Well, governments should support businesses to thrive effectively. Wonder why Nwuneli and Rotimi's cases are different. Even the Babban Gona too is also affected.



To be fair, she just started production. She started very well, securing a consistent, constant and quality supply of the raw material. Whereas Dangote just mounted a tomato paste factory and shut it down within a year due to inconsistency in the supply of tomatoes. I don't see her shutting down, as the supply is there. Gino has been in the game for donkey years, so unfair comparison. With time, she will boom, especially if she makes an exotic form of the paste and exports to wealthy markets. That is what big agribusinesses should focus on. Target Europe and America.

What about the Erisco and Shonga Farms? Did Erisco later run to China and continue production from there due to insecurity and an inconsistent supply of tomatoes?

cc: nlfpmod

For the Nwunelis', I feel they need to cozy with the power brokers to get additional support like Mehta's, AND also change the crops they deal in (like you said). Their HBS degrees are just wasting away.

Sir, do you know the most surprising thing? A 'common' NOUN MBA (though with a DBA from Swiss School of Business) holder is doing much better in the same Kaduna. I'm talking about Dr. Ogbemudia of Niyya Foods. He hands decades and decades of experience in the industry and his product is practically everywhere. He's into natural fruit drinks.

Like many others have reiterated on this forum, Dangote though humble, is not the ideal businesman that an average, potential entrepreneur should look up to. His model is not sustainable, as his wealth is also hinged on the support of the Federal government. Food is not really his area too. How can we reconcile the fact that upon all the expatriates and professionals the simple concept of demand and supply still eludes them, leading them to create an unsustainable factory. I feel they just wanted to taste from his wealth without telling him the truth.

Though he positioned the company in a tomato-belt region in Nigeria, but I mean he needed to have understudied the current cultivation of tomato in Nigeria, established a large and comprehensive outgrowers program and finally look for how to ensure supply on-and-off season. Even an average Igba boi will point this out.


That's true. Mehta has a decent farm where she cultivates tomatoes (including greenhouse) but I'm seriously rooting for her to take over the Kaduna and surrounding markets at least.

Erisco is not really feeling the heat due to his large range of products that is why he's not really bothered that his pastes still have low visibility in the market. More like off-and-on.

Shonga Farms went moribund with the exit of Saraki and then Governor Ahmed. from the political space. Most of the white Zimbabweans have left. The company for all intent and purpose belongs to Saraki but was funded with from Kwara State government's coffer.

With no government funds coming in; propaganda don end, and Saraki don flee. He knew the structure of the company was not sustainable, but free government money no go gree him to restructure it. Today, the company's output is embarrassingly poor and they have not been able to transcend beyond Kwara State. Even at that, lots of competitors are loading the heat on them.

Like you said, for farms and factories producing pastes to be successful in Nigeria, they need heavy input from the government by hook (subventions, grants, tax holidays, PPP—e.g Mira Mehta's Tomato Jos) or crook (looting government funds to start a agroallied company— e.g Nigerian politicans' farm). Lots of our politicans' are surprisingly doing well in the sector e.g Sebore Farms in Adamawa (owned by Muritala Nyako) and Maizube Farms in Minna (owned by Abdulsalam Abubakar)—both are into productions of milk and dairy products, I guess the money factor is what is keeping them afloat. Though for the latter, there's a strong rumour that his farm is a conduit to launder funds.

To be honest, the government still needs to help protect these companies and support newer ones. I just pray Babbangona still continue operations as usual. They are currently one of the highest paying in the industry (along with Saro Agrosciences).

Gerrard59:
It is the reason when someone says he or she does agribusiness on a huge scale, I am always interested in how they cope with the rising insecurity. I recall sending Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli an email to her personal email address, which she replied, but I did not follow up. But I admired the work they did. Even Rotimi Williams made the news then as the second largest rice grower after Olam. How do ordinary agribusiness entrepreneurs cope if these folks with their HBS qualifications and network cannot secure their farmers? Also, a few are wailing on TwitterNG. Although Tomato Jos by Mehta and Yemisi Iranloye of Psaltry International are doing pretty well, I am curious how other big agribusiness entrepreneurs are coping? Especially if out-growers who they depend on are being killed.

But bants aside, if HBS folks cannot use their influence to stem the insecurity tide, e get as e be o. I thought HBS know the movers and shakers in the countries they work in. After all, Mehta na HBS alumna too

Dr Gerrard59, most of the principles and knowledge learnt at HBS will fail in Nigeria o. This is because it lacks the necessary 'local content'.

Most of our top guys in corporate Nigeria only go there for bragging rights and the network. Nothing overly special with HBS. In Nigeria, MBA from LBS is practically more useful than the one gotten from HBS.

Nwuneli's is really trying, but her business is yet to get the expected trajectory. This still leads to the first paragraph above.

Mira Mehta's agribusiness enjoys fully support from Kaduna State politically, fiscally and security-wise courtesy of Kaduna State Government. Most businesses in the state do not enjoy this privilege.

Her factory is located in the Northern Part of Kaduna which is relatively safe, plus it is well-guarded by the police and the military. Plus she got the large portion of land at near zero cost.

She's used by El-Eufai as the 'postal child' of Modern entrepreneurship in Kaduna (El-Rufai actually made significant strides here). This is because he wanted to attract more investors to the state and brag about an Oyinbo doing business in his state. Even at that, she's barely staying afloat, as foreign pastes (e.g Gino) are still beating her to it in Kaduna and the entire North. You can hardly find her paste around.

If not for all these supports, hand for don touch her tey tey.
