Health › Re: Please Help, My Kid Sister Is In Pains (pics) by SmartyPants(m): 12:38pm On Jul 30, 2022
OnGod247:
Hello guys,

My kid sis is in pains. She's 21yrs.
About a month ago, just out of nowhere, she started developing some kind of scales under her feet.. Initially, we thought it was nothing serious, and it would just go, so we kept applying Vaseline on her feet every night after pressing it with warm water...

But as time went on, it got worse and painful for her too... She cries every night.. It is almost as though she can't walk. The scales are strong and stubborn and now splitting to reveal some tiny wounds.. Guess that's why she is finding it painful..

Due to financial constraints, the few chemists i've taken her to don't seem to know the name or cause of what it is, talkmore of the cure.. It breaks me to see a grown girl go through so much pain but i'm stuck..

I'm hoping the Doctors here or anyone else with a simlar issue or experience can help proffer cure for her..

Pictures below were taken from last night...

Mods pls help...
@dominique
@Sissy3
How much exactly do you need to get this girl to hospital?

Forget chemists and pharmacists. She needs to see doctors and take tests.

Can you approach any government hospital and find out what it will cost?

Politics › Re: Okowa, Ortom Appeal To Wike Over PDP Presidential Primary Fallout by SmartyPants(m): 3:56am On Jul 30, 2022
SmartPolician:
I am trying so hard to understand why Wike is being unnecessarily angry. Atiku has contested presidential primaries and election several times and lost. On every occasion, he picked up the pieces of his life and moved on. Wike only lost once and he is bitter. If he feels he's popular enough to become the president, take a bold step like Kwankwanso and Peter Obi and leave the PDP.

But then, Wike knows that he will become irrelevant in Rivers politics like Amaechi the day he leaves the PDP. He doesn't have a choice than work for the person the party has chosen over him. He has small Rivers State money and was busy insulting everyone, not knowing that he is dealing with a man who looted Nigeria's money at the federal level for 8 years and invested it wisely.
For you to write this, you're clearly not informed.

Has Wike come out and said, "I am angry because I am not the presidential candidate"? Is the current issue about presidential candidacy or the VP position??

I can confirm at least some part of what he is saying.

The Law School has been under heavy guard for weeks which i observed personally. On a visit a month ago.

Shortly after i was there, they also engaged in a massive show of force by firing into the air for some hours around 4 am.

1. Revolting is fighting to free oneself from being a victim. They didn't revoke by turning their white masters into slaves. So that mention has absolutely nothing to do with this here conversation.

2. See #1 above. undecided

3. See #2 above. undecided
cheesy

I'll take your point on the first example, and maybe the third. However, while those were arguably poor examples of the point, that doesn't invalidate it.

Victims get some leeway for lashing out.

For example, would you not sympathise with an abused woman who snaps and kills her husband in his sleep? While killing him may not have been necessary for her freedom, one could argue that the trauma provoked a response just as wrong in character but less so in weight.

Wouldn't you agree?

He stopped being a victim the moment he turned oppressor in the relationship. No one is a victim forever. undecided
So what you're telling me is that when the slaves revolted, they became the oppressor? When women show excessive hate towards men for the patriarchal past of society or for some perceived wrong suffered either personally or collectively, women are the oppressors? When black people riot over the death of a black man, they are the oppressors?

Seems rather harsh and unrealistic.

Do you think such an ultimatum has any bearing on the bandits?

Naturally they should know that the government is out to get them.

The essence of El Rufai saying this is to give confidence to the citizenry to go about their business.

How many of the bandits fell?

The audacity of the terrorists to even lay ambush for soldiers in Abuja should worry and embarrass anyone.

I mean, this isn't a kind of hide and seek or hit and run, it was an ambush in the city center o, not a remote village.

If the NASS members do not urgently begin a wholesale action against PMB and his security apparatus, then nothing can rescue the country again.

...perhaps when the people will rise and say enough is enough.
Which city center.

Bwari is close to the border of the FCT. It's as far from the city centre as can be.

truthsayer009:
My question is how do we know that non-programming people don't do well in those foreign spaces when hired? Because I know all Nigerians are hard working.
It's not about hard work.

1. For content writing, Nigerians generally don't write that well. Africans in general. You can find many large companies with several Nigerian programmers but not one single Nigerian writer despite the fact that there are more writers than programmers in Nigeria. Even a few reasonably successful Nigerian writers I've come across still have visible room for improvement.

2. I don't know why there aren't many Nigerians in customer support and design jobs. It could be that most Nigerians don't even know that these jobs are available.

It's becoming a trend with Mr. Obi now. And it's because he likes to always say things that he thinks sound smart and interesting.

The man needs to calm down, do his homework, and come back with real plans that show how he will do things not all these stories.

What is your stats backing this information?

A know a lady who is in Customer Support role for a US company in Nigeria, she is doing well. There are jobs if you are always searching, you will find it.

I also don't understand what you mean by non-technical! Every work is actually technical, because it requires in-depth knowledge in the specific field. Even Customer Service is technical because a Customer Service for Amazon Web Services have to know a lot about their products to tell customers or solve customers problem.
What part of the information do you find doubtful? I'd be happy to clarify.

Needless to say, this is all anecdotal, based on my many years of experience in this industry.

I saw THIS THREAD on the frontpage and I must say the points there were very educational.


1)WHAT IS OUT THERE FOR NON-TECH PEOPLE?

2) WHAT IS A GOOD REMOTE PAY PER MONTH?
Unfortunately, Nigerians don't seem to excel in the non-technical competencies but there are jobs in

1. Content writing

2. Design

3. Customer support


At the moment most of these jobs go to Indians and Pakistanis and other south-east Asians but they are open to Africans as well.

For non-technical work, $500 - $2500 depending on experience and the country where the hiring company is based.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: 50k In The Island Vs 60k In The Mainland by SmartyPants(m): 1:24pm On Jul 24, 2022
rasheylaw:
Good evening everyone.

Recently, My boss have to laid off all his staffs due to some issues in his business.

Last week, I got two jobs offers:

1. On the island (lekki); It is an outsourcing firm and I got the role of graphic designer but the pay is 50k, Monday - Friday (8:30am - 4:30pm).

2. On the mainland (Ikeja) : it is a store where they sell fashion items like jewelries and the likes. The role is social media manager but the way the boss explained the role, it is more of online sales person. The pay is 60k, Monday - Saturday (8am - 6pm).

The issues I am having:

1. Career Path: The island job looks promising because it is a large company , there might be a chance of self development or career growth but the mainland is just a store and I will probably be doing the same thing everytime.

2. Monthly expenses: I am currently staying on the island with my former boss which is a bit far from both places. And I calculated my monthly cost on transportation, it is 25-30k for both places.

Please advise me on which to choose. I have to resume for any of them by Monday

Thank you
Look both jobs are paying peanuts. Forget the pay because neither of them is better.

Pursue what will allow you to grow and develop as a professional. With time you can easily get a remote job doing graphics if you develop enough. You have a skill that is marketable globally so focus on developing that.

dyera:
Whether constitution or no constitution all you need for issues like this is common sense. After eight years of northern president, it should be common sense that the next president should be a southerner.

If one of the major political party field a southern candidate after a southern president has ruled for eight years, would that person be able to campaign in the North.

The major problem with Tinubu and Atiku, they don't care about equity and fairness, all they care about is achieving their presidential ambition.
Hmmm. I don't know about this argument.

Because all along this was the argument that the Northerners made, that they are owed at least another 3 years ( 4 effectively), based on 8 years of OBJ, and 5 years of GEJ, meaning the south has been in power for 3 years longer. On equity and fairness alone it appears we the South would be in debt.

I think we must either leave this zoning arrangment behind or strictly codify it into the National Constitution.

Lol. Reading upside down means to read rubbish. Finally he blamed the media too for causing the confusion.

However does the fact that APC govt produced a Northern president have any effect on PDP's constitution?
He is saying that PDP did not produce the current president. The last PDP president was a southerner so the principle of rotation - if solely based on the PDP Constitution is not affected here.

According to Atiku anyway.

There’s nowhere in the write up the heading was mentioned.

Everything he has done in his life was by accident doesn’t mean he became president by accident.

He contested and won.

See Obj dishing advice like he was one the finest African presidents.
The presidency is a subset of everything he has done in his life. Basic logic!

Obasanjo is one of the most respected Nigerians outside Nigeria. Though he should live out his retirement in prison for the massacres commited under his watch by the Nigerian army.
