1. Time flies faster than you think. If you have a dream, go chase it and Dont procrastinate. If you fail, you have time to restrategize

2. Life will shock you but no fear. Friends will fail or betray you but that is part of life. Dont stay down, let go of grudges and be fair

3. Take care of your health, you won’t always be young and our bodies remember how we treated it.

4. Be careful with women, excessive indulgence could wreck you

5. There is a God that rules in the affairs of men, commit your life to him and he shall direct your path.

This is the best advice here

A BIG fat lie.

With a monthly income of £2,800 in the UK, you can still save over ₦1 million monthly, eat well, and in many ways enjoy a better standard of living than someone earning ₦1 million in Nigeria.

Food is surprisingly affordable in the UK. For example, 1kg of chicken costs about £2, while the same quantity sells for around ₦5,000 in Nigeria. Ask yourself: how long does it take the average worker to earn £2 in the UK compared to ₦5,000 in Nigeria?

The last time I was in the UK, I bought a large pack of offal (tongue, liver, heart, and kidney) for £15. The equivalent quantity in Nigeria would easily cost ₦60,000 or more.

Yes, organ meats are less expensive because most people don't eat them over there. but real beef is expensive. This is not to support what he said, the two countries are different. Survival strategies in both countries differ in many ways. A #60k salary earner in Nigeria can avoid so many essential life nourishing items and bills , while still surviving but it is not the same in the UK.
The truth is that #60k salary in Nigeria amounts to poverty in perpetuity, that person will never be able to afford most things.

. Bro, did you read my message carefully before replying?

Can you explain the difference between color hardener and oxide hardener? I would also appreciate it if you could tell me when you completed that project and, if possible, share recent pictures of the same job.

I already visited his page, and I must say his work looks good. However, from what I saw, most of the projects appear to have been done using oxide colors rather than imported color hardeners. That's exactly why I said that when giving clients an estimate, we should clearly state the type of materials being used.

We're all craftsmen here, and nobody is trying to spoil another person's business. When a client can't afford imported materials, I explain the available options and let them choose what fits their budget. That way, there are no misunderstandings.

Also, when clients ask questions, it's important that we can confidently explain our work and the materials we're using. One more thing to keep in mind is that material prices change regularly. Before giving an estimate, always check the current market prices so you don't end up making a loss or going into debt while the project is ongoing.

Peace and love, brother. We're all here to learn and grow together.

We did this at the beginning of this year and I was in Nigeria last 2 week and made the video.

Now , If I don’t acknowledge the root of your protest, it would be unfair and injustice. I sense your anger was related to the fact that he was too quick to respond to a potential client who had directed their estimate inquiry to you.
Normally, he should have waited for you to response first.
Having said that, the truth of the matter is that colorings are not that expensive, whether oxide or harder, even the imported ones. It does not add much to the total difference of the job.
The real money goes to cement , mesh wire and granite and labor. Especially cement.
I don’t think he had any intention to under quote in order to grab the client or cut it from you.
Think of it this way, how will you feel if another vendor comes up and say that you are not giving an honest quote ?. That you are deliberately hiding other items like the cost of clearing the space, sand filling, leveling and compacting. And you know these things must be done first before the actual work. At the owners expense. Some client might feel deceived if they do not have this information before committing to the project.

So, Live and lets live makes the world go round.

christ007:
When giving clients an estimate, please try to specify the type of materials you're using. This helps clients understand exactly what they're paying for and prevents misunderstandings after the job is completed.

Your pricing looks good, but I believe this estimate is based on the use of local color materials. I charge a similar rate when a client chooses local colors. If the client prefers imported materials, the price will naturally be different.

Being clear about the materials included in your quotation helps clients make informed decisions and ensures they get the quality they expect.

Peace and love, brother. 🤝

This is the one we did. We bought all materials and the landscaping guys provided labor.
Their price per square meter was not even up to what he just said.
You are making look as if his price is low for a good job. But it’s not. Even. The coloring is the least in the material used for this project.
So, yes 5k sqm is competitive and ok for the job anywhere.

oga I am not a novice with cars. The the cost of fixing that car can get a decent camry of even a later model. You will think it's little repairs till you start. The interior is totally battered. Did you take a good look at the car?.

An upholstery guy will give a lush 2026 model interior for 200-250k , if you know where to go.

1Alex:
why not fix it and sell it as tokumbo standard?

As you can see, he is listing a lot of cars here. So he might not be the actual owner. Such opportunity presents because the actual owner might not have the fund or is no longer interested in the vehicle.
Personally in the past, I have sold some of my old cars that where occupying unneccessary space around the yard at a give away price

1Alex:
so the jallopy you are selling is the "opportunity"

Even if the one I showed you is hiding something, he is not hiding the body. The beauty of a car is the body,if the engine is bad change it. But the body first.

Even if you install a brand new engine in this your car, people will still be seeing a jallopy.

You statement shows that you know nothing about cars

First, let me be clear, I am not the seller and have no relationship with the seller. But I love cars and love bringing them back to life. I am trying to educate you on cars but it seems you don't want want to learn.
Now listen, a small sedan like camry has just a bunch of individual body parts. Basically, 4 doors, front and back bumpers , hood and trunk . Then the fenders . The only fix parts are just the roof and the back quarter panel. With just #1M , you could change all of those with brand new body parts if needed. You will still have 2M change

https://www.nairaland.com/8692794/pre-owned-2010-toyota-camry

This last one is 5.6 . A whopping #3M difference for the same type of used muscle Camry. Bros, with that 3m put into the blue one, you are sure of having a tokumbo standard vehicle. Direct Japan engine with guaranted low milage full everywhere in Ladipo.

Look closely at the body of this brown one, its a cheap body work and painting. Even the dash board is covered to cancel blown airbags from previous accident.
I would rather go for the blue one except if the engine and gear box is not working right.

1Alex:
And the cheapest repair could be carried out before selling.

I'd rather buy this below instead of buy a vehicle that should be given iron condemn people.

https://www.nairaland.com/8698785/registered-2009-toyota-camry

You see, some of you don't know opportunity when you see one. First, you said there are many for 4.5. Now you are showing another one listed by the same seller for 5.4. If he is hiding something in the blue one, what makes you think that he is honest with this very one.

You see this silver one, you cannot make anymore profit from it if you are reselling. It has been priced to the max. But the blue one, you could double your money if you know what you are doing. As long as the engine and gear box is working, which could be verified by test driving.

1Alex:
4.5m clean muscle full everywhere even here on Nairaland.

This wire na for starting or what?

Replacing ignition wire is the cheapest repair you would be lucky to encounter in a used car. Except you want to buy direct tokumbo

Please show one currently for sale here for that price. Thanks .

1Alex:
Any car wey dealer dey sell this cheap has lots of questions marks in terms of repairs. Apart from this Wickedly used body, there must be things eyes cannot see.

If you are interested, all you should do is take your mechanic and go inspect the vehicle. You cannot just assume that its all that bad because of the price. The worst case that can be bad, engine and gear box. which could be replaced with 2m and all is solve. Maybe fix body another 300k.

Where will you see a working Muscle camry for less than 5M?

I know most places have an agreement signed by new employees about conflict resolution and dispute management. In those agreement, steps to channel grieveness are spelt out. Also, there are often clauses restricting speaking to the press and use of social media to communicate about the work place, Failure to adhere to those rules is ground for disciplinary action up to termination.

They should go back and read the terms of their employment.

Right, so I want you to listen to me this time

A subsidy on fuel, to the point where we are able to pay N200 per liter of fuel, would cost the budget 17-18 trillion, assuming we consume 60 million liters per day

Since no budget has been passed for the thing, and since oil windfall is expected to be around 9 trillion and since we are still paying off debts ...again....because we rely on oil, and oil prices are not high enough to pay for all we need, before corruption and looting come in to make things worse

Money, therfore , would be taken from other sectors of the budget and replaced with more loans, which would make matters even more worse than they are now.

We have repeated this over and over again over the years

Higher oil prices means subsidy costs go up, which means more of our budget goes on paying subsides, and more borrowing to fill the hole there

That is why you are totally wrong to think I am arguing for any interests, or corrupt people, or advocating suffering.

It's kind of funny, the way some of you think. Try to see the big picture, man.

Sir, for the 6 years while GEJ was President and we had petroleum subsidy, the price of petrol was #87 per liter. Why was Nigeria not accumulating this 17 trillion per year debt you have projected? What this administration did by subsidy removal is like removing life support from a patient without first stabilizing him. The government went from helping the citizens to gaining from the already imporvirished citizens.

The biggest losers are the working class. The price of everything increased while income remained the same. The only people that gain were those in government and NNPCL because they don't have those loses from subsidy anymore. Marketer also gained because they now sell for higher margins. In fact, only wealthy Nigerians gained, including those who were able to put resources together to go into refinary .
An average Nigerian is yet to see the dividen of subsidy removal . Not thet we don't know where the money is going,

nairalanda1:
1. Are you guys ready to pay the kind of taxes, school fees, vote for corrupt free governments, etc...to make Nigeria a moon going nation?
2.See as you dey blame religion. Sometimes na country's priorites that governs these things. If any of the muslim or christain countries in Africa attempted this, they would be so broke in minutes, plus both of you will start shouting that 'why shouldun't government spend money on poor people.?

India sent a probe to the planet Mars. Most Indian commentators online were blasting their government for ignoring poverty in their country. Even the USA...at the time of their first moon landing , some americans were blasting their government for spending billions on space, not on dealing with domestic poverty

3. Many of you guys support the kind of economy that prevents Nigeria from going to space. You want government to share oil money to you, and your government obliges. You don't want government to support industrial development, and you don't want government to remove subsides on electricity so that the power sector can grow well well

Better stop blaming other things, and blame yourselves, Muslem and chreistian , tradtional religion and atheist fanatics Nigerians.

I would be glad to know how many times you as an individual has collected this money you mentioned which is being shared by the Nigeria government. Nigeria government does not even help their poor citizen when compared to the US government. Programs like food stamps, medicaid, section 6 housing , student grants etc are all available in the US for qualifying individuals.. The fundamental problem of Nigeria is corruption. Not subsidy and not about spending on the poor. A lot of resources are not used for what they were budgeted for. Elected officials lack accountability, they misuse public fund without fear of consequences.

You imagine eating bread with tea and sugar in morning
Afternoon, you ate rice and a bottle of soda
Dinner you added fufu and soup with a glass of of juice.
What you have not realized is that you have consumed the equivalent of one packet of sugar on that day. Sugar is converted to glucose during digestion and remains in the blood until acted upon.
Then the pancreatic cell start their process.
The unfortunate thing is that once your pancreas B cells are gone due to overwork of glucose regulation in your blood, you become insulin resistant. The B cellls are the cells that produce insulin.
What this means is sugar has no way of leaving your blood. Because it is insulin that helps the body cells to get glucose from the blood. Also, the blood is constantly too thick from too much glucose concentration and cannot flow well in your vessels. Remember also that the another function of the blood is to carry oxygen. The life of you organs depends on this oxygen.
As an analogy, imagine comparing water to honey flowing in pipe.
Thick blood is hard to flow and your heart will struggle to pump this thick blood. Remember, the function of the heart is to pump blood.
In the process of this struggle to pump, high blood pressure is developed. Remember that formula to calculate pressure in secondary school physics ( force / area). The more force the more pressure. Now you see why it is called high blood pressure. Not only that, the force exacted by the high pressure on tiny vessels will cause them to burst. Every material has an elastic limit , including the blood vessels. Those tiny vessels that burst first are often found in areas like eyes, heart, manhood, and intestines.
Eventually those organs will start to fall due to lack of blood supply. Deseases like blindness, neuropathy and heart failure set in. That is why diabetes causes amputation. And wound that is hard to heal. If there is no adequate blood supply, wound cannot heal. A very small cut on the extremity like toes will remain and become gangrene.
Another condition is tiredness. That insulin the body is now lacking, it plays a vital role in how the cells produce energy.
Without insulin the cells cannot get glucose to produce energy. So the person is always feeling tired because they lack energy.
Let me stop here. The story of what sugar does to the body is much . I have not even gone into how they contribute to fatty liver, high cholesterol, and obesity.
Story plenty!

Good day Senior men in the house.
Please how can this WC be plumbed (P-TRAP) and channelled to the window side without and issue of odour synonymous with S- trap since the WC is not directly by window
Pls help 🙏 a novice

Typically, for P-trap , you need a slop gradient but that does not prevent odor. Toilets are best positioned by a window for ventilation. Most houses you see where the toilet is not close to the window do have a Vent Trap that extends out at the roof top. But Nigeria houses are not built that way.

Just just $2 for a dozen. Nigeria eggs is still among the cheapest in world. According to APC

There is a woman for every man, isn't this marvelous , but the kind cheating wey go occur for this marriage ehn. Let me stop here, you can help yourself with the imagination

It’s won’t be considered cheating in the real sense of the word. Actually, the woman might be allowed to get involved with someone else for procreation purposes. The reason is to have healthy children for the guy.

Cooking outside with empty used cans . Everybody will contribute from the little they could obtain from their mother's kitchen cupboard

This is just an assumption, it could be that the machine presses the Egusi too hard and squeezes out some of the oil from it in the process. This unnoticed internal thin hairline breakage could also start a fermentation process that changes the taste But the hand peeled ones are gently peeled, thus preserving all the oil and keeps the natural taste.

Is that why they were celebrating immediately after the strike ?
