I beg to disagree. Assuming that that was ur company & because of dat stupid reason he keeps rejecting d best brains to ur company dat would have added more value 2 it. How will u feel?
Dat man is too wicked & egocentric. D company growth is not his aim but rather personal aim. So i wont hire him. He wont attract valuable people 2me, only mediocres like himself.
You took it right out of my head .

Acidosis:
Bad business move for someone with a total capital of #1.1M.

The fixed assets you listed here is #500k. Add that to another fixed asset (rent) and you're already close to #900k.

Food business without sufficient working capital is dead on arrival. They will end up eating all the garri and gizzard to stay alive.

I am an NCE holder. I finished my NCE programme 2018,I started working as a security operative immediately I graduated from school till last month. I resigned last month due to several reasons: 1. The salary is meagre compared to the stress I am subjected to 2. Security work is risky: one can get jailed for a crime one knows nothing about, a security guard is the number one target of armed robbers during their operations. 3. One is deprived of night's sleep for 1week. 4.security work is synonymous to humiliation; a security guard is commonly seen as someone who has no bearing in life, a nonentity and a hopeless person. 4. I find it difficult to communicate eloquently in English Language because most of my colleagues are not learned. We converse in Hausa and pidgin.
I need a job with good prospect, like Teaching or any job that can improve my communication skills. Within the short period of time that I have been jobless I have received 3 security job offers which I rejected. I have resolved not to work as a security guard again and I don't want to go against it. Please I need your advice. Pardon my grammatical and mechanical errors
Try schools in your areas or tutorial centers.

I went to war again…but this time I lost a battle.

I came back wounded. Tortured. Sad. Missing parts of me. And I wasn’t prepared for that loss.

But, are we ever prepared for ANY loss?

It is human (and foolish) of us to claim anything as ours. We clench to and protect things, people, whatever with supreme fear of losing them when in reality we know deep inside that nothing ever belongs to us. Even the air we breathe is borrowed. Our children are borrowed. The time we spend here on earth is borrowed.

Life has a way of reminding us of this truth to keep us humble, and grateful.

So here I am. Grateful and humbled. I’m here to remind you that everything around you is a gift. Enjoy it as long as it lasts. Never take it for granted.

And when the time comes to let go of it, don’t hold tight. Simply open your heart, mind and hands and release it with grace and gratitude that it was once under your care.

It is only when you release what was that you are able to receive what will be.

Seniorwriter:
OP hope u have started the business if not
Remember that once u think of an idea someone somewhere is also thinking and strategizing on the same course too.
Do your due diligence with the following below
1.) How good is the power supply in your area.
2.) How close or far are you from the nearest Abattoir.
3.) What kind of frozen foods(fish or beef) are readily bought in your neighborhood.
4.) Are you intending a long/short Term venture.
5.) What frozen food equipment do you yet have.


Reply appropriately so I can elucidate on the best approach to scaling up with this Frozen Food venture.


Best Regards.
1. 5-8hrs
2. It probably 5 minutes to the market
3. Turkey, chicken, Orobo and shawa fish
4. Long term
5. Fridge soon to buy generator ONLY

Can you give more info on

What to look out for?
Hamachi:
Food business he will not regret it. People must eat
I think � they would need to do a feasibility study and the area you are targeting and putting power factor in place.
if you are starting on a low scale, you can get a deep freezer say about 200-400ltr btn 250k and above,
The frozen items such as chicken,turkey lap,wing,gizzard and fish may cost u about 50-100k to start with and you can add garri, beans etc
Your ur stand by generator i.e 2.5kva-4.5kva which may cost u btn 200-350k.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: My Fiancé Just Lost His Job by SMJay: 11:55pm On Jul 17, 2022
Elozini Olaniyam

Today I reflect on who I have chosen to be, a woman moulded by circumstances, culture and tradition but completed by grace.

You could say I was 'kind of' a tomboy as a child, with favourite pastimes of tree climbing or showing off my expert bicycle stunts around the neighbourhood. Bruises and sprains were a norm and I would usually have one or two bandaids on my body as a badge of honour. I loved Lego and grew into the Miss fix it for home gadgets- external help was only called when I couldn't figure out the problem. Note- I said 'kind of' a tomboy, because I still loved my princess dolls.

The choice of Engineering or Architecture for University came naturally, but was met with opposition by most adults. For the 1st time in my life, I heard girls couldn't be Engineers .. "it's a man's field", "you'll be all alone", "it will be challenging for you". And I struggled with what lay beyond just maths.

I should mention I went to a girls only high school. We did everything for ourselves; gardenening, cleaning, we played all sports, did all subjects, were Girl Guides, played both female & male roles in dramas. There were no gender rules, we existed in a world that said we could just be what we aspired to be.

Back to the university story, It was a deliberate choice to 'just be' what my heart wanted me to be. So I ignored the world and pitched my hat (pun intended) with the Engineering community.

•Is it a man's field? Yes. But it's a very large field with females owning their own territory one plot at a time.
•Have I been alone? It depends. Numerically, women in STEM courses remains a challenge till this day. I was 1 of 3 females in my Chemical Engineering course and till today I am sometimes the only female in the room. This has only built resilience and tenacity. And where there are no females we find male allies!
•Has it been challenging?. A loud YES. But then, we eat challenges for breakfast!. Getting out of bed every morning is a challenge but up we must. Challenges should never be a reason to abort an ambition.

Why all these ponderings? July is my annual checkpoint review season. While we can't change the past, we can learn from it. I'm grateful for the decision of a 15 year old to swim against the tide of cultural expectations. I'm grateful for the few strong amazing female Engineers that stick together in the universities and in the workplace, I'm grateful for the male allies I have met along the way, I'm grateful for the amazing organisation I work with that lets my spread my wings and I'm super grateful for my spouse (fellow Engineer) who lets me fly.

A last word, if you are ever in a position to coach or mentor a young female, don't distract her with the myths and expectations of the world, rather equip her and support her in achieving her ambitions in spite of it. Teach her to leverage her strengths and help her focus on achieving the small wins, they all add up.

What he is trying to say is that POP is cheaper than plasterboard I e

If POP is 6000 per sqm, the plasterboard will like 10,200 per sqm

You will spend more using plasterboard

From my experience with it, it's about 1.7 times more than POP.

If POP gives you 6,000 per metre, then Plasterboard will be about 6000 x 1.7 = 10,200 per metre.

Do you understand?
o, I don't please break it down to a lay man understanding. Thank you
