I can imagine what will be running through the minds of those affected.

After staying home for almost 5 weeks, then you start a new month with being fired.

I wish them all the best and hope better things come their way

Rather than keep quiet , the authorities should explain what this means .

Is there a duplicate copy of this receipt? Or is someone being mischievous here ?

Why worry about a name, I honestly do not think that is so important as a startup.

Provide service/product that everyone would love and obviously want.

You will be shocked at how people will embrace the new name.

Who would have imagined Konga or Jumia will be a household name.

There are more important things in building a business than a name.

Politics › Does it make sense fixing Lagos Roads During Lockdown ? by softset(op): 6:47am On Apr 28, 2020

I keep wondering why we are never forward thinking in Nigeria, lots of things that we should plan ahead for, we wait till last minute.

Lagos has been on lockdown for about 4 weeks, the roads are in a terrible mess. The reason for major traffic in Lagos is due to bad roads , how come the government with all its special advisers, special assistants, special coordinators , commissioners never thought of quickly fixing the roads during the lockdown.

I am aware that VIPs including his excellency Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu visit nairaland.com from time to time, if you are reading this, get your team to work, let them begin fixing the roads.

There are many benefits of fixing these roads especially at times like this ,we really want to avoid over crowded bus stops. Let's not think like we used to prior to lockdown. We need to think of the implications of not fixing these roads.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, we appreciate the good work you and your team are doing in Lagos especially during trying times like this.PLEASE FIX LAGOS ROADS.

What do you guys think ?

So how would a resident of Kenya pay for items on Amazon or a domain name with Hostgator, they don't have PayPal options.

Will appreciate more details.

KenyaNairobiGuy:
Most Kenyans prefer mobile money and when online Paypal and Skrill since you can move money to mobile money platforms.

Not everyone has a bank account as most work in the informal sector. They prefer using mobile money payments MPesa and Airtel Money as it is faster and cheaper and secure.

Politics › Re: Ask Me Anything Kenya, Nairobi Guy by softset: 2:06pm On Apr 23, 2020

Hello and 'welcome' to Nairaland

I understand there are some countries that have restrictions on how their nationals can make payments online. In Nigeria, anyone with a bank account can have a visa or master card. With these cards, Nigerians are able to make payments on foreign websites(dollar payments).

How does this work in Kenya ?

I will appreciate more details on how the payment process work in Kenya.

I stated what I feel about the amount and I still maintain that $2600 is not a lot of money if you live in Canada.

Poverty is really a terrible thing. It will make you think and do things you will not normally do.

Continue waiting for government handouts.

That's not true, that's the amount some low level workers pay as rent.

In a city like Houston, the average rent is about $1000 but you can get cheaper ones if you dont mind living in area where drug dealing and killings is no big deal .

Do you live in America to confirm that they will not pay for rent next month. Or you are going by what the news media is saying ?

Do you think those apartment complexes are owned by the government?

blowjohn:
And who told u the citizens are gonna pay for rent this month or next?

Foreign Affairs › Re: US Coronavirus Stimulus Cheques To Feature Trump's Signature by softset: 6:31am On Apr 16, 2020

It's not just about rent, my point is that $1200 is really nothing , you could be paying about $300 for auto insurance ( amount depends on several factors), what about electricity bill and other bills that are recurring, that money is not a lot.

Also note that the cheapest 1 bedroom you can find in a city like Houston is about $700+ unless you live in third ward and the likes.

I hope you realize that money is for those earning within a certain income bracket. If you earn over a $100k, you will not be getting anything.

Maybe someone out there can educate me on what you will do with $1200 that is a one time thing.

linearity:
@softset.
Though it depends on where you are living and the type of house/apartment and note the $1,200.00 is per individual, for couples I believe it doubles then add $500 per dependent...though all these are phased out at certain income level.

I would say, for an individual, $1,200.00 is more than enough on average for rent in the US unless you are renting a luxury apartment in Manhattan .

My premises is, for an individual a studio apartment is more than enough for you....you don’t need one or two bedroom and that money is enough for a studio. For a couple you guys get double that amount, which should be okay for a one/two bedrooms, then if you have kids the additional $500 added will get you a three bedroom.
