Burnt offering...

As it was in the days of Noah.

[And] the odour of the sacrifice pleased the Lord. Gen. 8:21

A Bible passage to support it. Like seriously?

Cooked beans while sleepy. I can't forget that day in a hurry. Prepped beans in my kitchen and laid on the bed to sleep. I was starving and sleepy at the same time and knew I'd have nightmares if I skipped dinner.


Not too long, my entire apartment was engulfed in smoke from the burning beans and I had no idea. I had not slept for two straight days over an exam I was preparing for and I had not the faintest idea what was happening in my kitchen.

My neighbours noticed the heavy smoke filtering from my apartment, banged on my door repeatedly, only for me to wake up drowsy, walked to the door and told them I was doing it on puporse, then went back to sleep!

My kitchen was near flames that day. I luckily got up later when the noise was much outside my apartment. My neighbours were staging a break in as they suspected all wasn't well. Strangely, I got up and went to the kitchen, put out the gas then went back to sleep.

I slept through the smoke, didn't choke or cough for a minute. I couldn't believe my eyes the next morning. The burnt beans was rock solid burnt in the pot that I had to throw the pot away.

They will soon turn online begging to a course in University

Nairaland is better oooo... You can't have a good laugh either on Twitter or Instagram without seeing tons of account numbers littered everywhere.

While some have genuine needs, most are purely taking advantage of the situation.

Thanks for the input bro. But will I kinda get discouraged when I see people advertising that they build websites for 5k or people creating threads advertising that they build websites but are ignored.. It makes it seem like people don't need websites and the stress learning isn't worth it.

Pls can you explain more on ways I can meet potential clients after learning and the average pay. Thanks once more for your input tho.

The so called folks who do it for 5k have so many things in common. They are likely failed bloggers who taught they could diversify just because they use drag and drop tools to create their own websites.

The cheapest theme/script/template or plugin costs at least N10,000, if you're buying the right way, that is. So, where then are they getting theirs from?

Here are a few pro tips:

1. Take your time and learn properly.
2. Never take the short cut to doing things.
3. Choose one of two sectors to focus on (corporate and publishers). Breaking through the corporate world and getting clients is difficult but it pays way better. You are likely to charge between N100k upward for a five-day project. With publishers, you're likely to get horrible propositions and crazy pleas to 'help them'.
4. I wouldn't recommend you you Nairaland as your ad source. The environment is pretty toxic and the farther your business is away from here, the healthier it is from your brand.
5. Register a Business Name and let potential customers know you mean business.
6. If you have to pay, do so and gain better experience.
7. You'll need to be consistent to break even, so I'll advise you don't overestimate your ability and always understand a customer's 'dream' before taking on their project.
8. Always set a standard. If you're choosing high end audience to focus on, this will help you a whole lot.
9. Always plan to end well with a client. Doing so means you're likely to get referrals. Referrals are most I get these days, which simplifies sending portfolios time and time again.

It is sustainable. Economies need to go green. This is time for Tesla to go global. Reduce price, leverage on parts and watch how economies will go green. Instead of nuclear plants, why not go solar. Nigeria need to reduce generator use and make more of green energy. The landscape from kara down to Ibadan toll gate can accommodate thousands of windmill such that it can Lagos, Ogun and Oyo and they will job for all.

That's a huge dream, the emboldened. Tesla can't go global yet because many countries are still dependent on oil as their income source. Also, there is the availability issue of power in developing countries that won't encourage the patronage of electric vehicles.

As per Nigeria's, I better not say a thing.

Coronavirus is many things:

1. A plague.
2. The Purge
3. Mother Nature's opportunity at resetting Earth's anomalies.
4. Depopulation of humans.

So this is the cause of the whole charade, @Sanchez01? See the way the guy ran you down and you were speaking English? TF!

Wuzzytech, I am your new challenger. Count me worthy and let us roast your father with palm oil. Bastard son of a thousand fathers!

The genesis, braah. The genesis.
