Thank God your are a graduate first of all and you have access to 600k.

My advice is don't fall for just any crap you hear or see. Do what you know you have an knowledge of and passion for.

I believe you sure know how to drive and you know your way around wherever you reside. Kindly carry your money and find a clean car with A/C and sound engine, then you are an entrepreneur already. Package yourself in a way that you are not just seen as a taxi driver but someone that offers professional & corporate shuttle services.

Just get one family who have very busy schedules and battle with the stress of dropping and picking up their kids in school.

Charge just N3k a day which will give you N15k per week or N60k per month. This is just doing only school run for one family. Now imagine when you use your extra times between when you drop the kids in school and pick them up to run some extra services for other corporate clients, you can pocket some extra N5k per day.

I don't know how to break it down more than I have done, but the truth is you are in control of your car and business so you make the money for yourself handsomely.

A good and selfless advice....

You are not ready for business else you will not be here to get advice. Leave your money at the bank and increase your savings as 1 million can't do much for you. Better still, observe the current dollar exchange rate in the next 2months. Once dollar falls below N250 buy It with all you have saved. A dollar may be selling at a N1000 when you are ready for business.

Nice

Detailed and worth following. Thanks

Keep on wailing

Op hope you have plans for getting your monies from agents who may refuse to pay up or bring up stories of spoilt items or no market?

1.you must have three things to start any venture: idea, opportunity and funds. If you lack any, the journey will be tougher.

2. You must be very skilled at what you do as a starter and you must commit time to your business(working for someone and running a business has failed more times than succeeded). Employees are one of the major killers of businesses everywhere and you must be prepared to play their role once in a while to maintain your standard. Swallow your pride and do the teaching or cut customers hair if it's a salon you own.

3. Diversification is good but make sure you are very knowledgeable in what you are diversifying into. Be sure to get the most recent information about it.

4. If you treat your business like it's the air you breathe, your business will never fail

Final tip:

When you are skilled, in what you do as a starter, you may even recruit a WAEC holder and guide them on what to do. This will save you a lot of salary cost.

Very helpful

Some of you pretending like you didn't do worse when you were younger....shiiit been happening since time immemorial. As a 7 year old, I remember when an uncle of mine sent me to a neighbours house to collect bean cake, on reaching there only the daughter was home. I asked her where her mum was and she just kept staring at me in a wierd way without answering. Suddenly she rushed towards me and pushed me to the wall (she was stronger) and started forcing herself on me lashing me all over with her tongue pushing her waist towards mine like she was possessed. I won't lie I got so hard but I managed to release myself and escaped. Heaven knows if that happens now, she wIll be the one escaping

with the new forex policy, does it mean USD/NGN will now be listed by brokers? does it mean everyone and anyone will be able to trade USD/NGN?

When you are deep in thought and someone interrupts your thoughts.

This is so me chai

Nutase now you know the interpretation of your dream. The 'fake' soldiers are the EFCC and the DSS

This picture gave me teary eyes

Reminds me of Haywire in prison break. That guy can stare into your soul. Op this is some really weird shiit

Guitarlife:
Good day,

With these mass sack looming I am compelled to start thinking of viable businesses.

I came up with the cold room business.

A business that stores fish and frozen foods and supplies retailers.

Please if you have tried these kind of business what are the things to look out for ?

Thanks.

It depends on your source of electric power.

With the current tariff and cost of fuel, it will be difficult to make profit. If you decide to power your cold room with solar, it will be very expensive but favourable in the long run.

That is a very beautiful baby......congratulations

Charpell:
First lets calculate the total wattage of your appliance. I am going to remove the Ac from the equation for proper audit

65 inch led tv, 67 watts * 1 = 67 watts
42 inch led tv, 45 watts * 1 = 45 watts
32 inch LCD tv. 11 watts * 1= 11 watts
Deep freezer, 500 watts * 1= 500 watts
1 normal standing frigde/freezer. 300 watts * 1 = 300 watts
Electric bulbs 20 watts * 10 = 200 watts.
Fan 50 watts * 3= 150 watts

Total = 1273 watts

Recommended Inverter 2kva @ 24V
Controller choice = 40A @ 24V
Battery capacity = 240AH
2 batteries of 200AH will be required => 400AH
Battery Energy = 200AH @ 24V = 4,800Wh;
For a panel of 200W X 7hours of sunshine = 1400WH
No of panels required = 4800/1400 = 4 panels


Solar System Requirement
2.0KVA @ 24V Inverter
30A @ 24V MPPT Controller
200Ah @ 12V Battery
200Watts Mono Solar Panels
PV cables (4*4mm²) 20 meters
Power cables (1*10mm²) 20 meters
Circuit disconnect
Panel bracket (Rooftop/ground mounting type) 1 Set

This quote is enough to make anyone interested in solar to understand what is needed for any load *thumbs up*

One question though, what effect does the amperage of the charge controller have on the entire process? Would a smaller amperage reduce charging time? Why did you not include it in the bolded calculation? And shouldn't the battery energy be 400AH @ 24V be 9600Wh?

Something is not right about this. The owner of Aiteo is an Igbo man

It's getting boring

"We haven't engaged in combat with them but if they want us to kill them, they should come after us"

The earlier our government realize that this is a technological war....the quicker they can put a stop to these menace. unlike the past, today, war can be fought without human presence... from airstrikes 1000's of kilometers away to deployment of unmanned air-crafts to level a whole city all from the comfort of an air conditioned room.

The community attack is a no no for me as this reaction is predictable. does the government think the NDA didn't know that the Army would react like this? Do they think these guys are even operating from Nigeria? We need to acquire the most recent surveillance and satellite technology, not the type that went moribund in Abuja just after a few months

Updated

Sunnynwa:
So u expect the military to have people at every inch of pipelines that traverse swamps and run thousands of kilometres?

No. there is a technology that can handle that and i would provide that information in my later update. for now we need to find the bombs

DRISKLEF:
I shall patiently be waiting to read your 'tips'.
[b]Nonetheless so far, you've made no common sense.

Yet you are patiently curious to learn more. How much more confused can you be?

Update 1: Bombings going on even with heavy military presence could only mean one thing - Bombs were planted long before this administration took over. The government and IOC''s should employ experts to scan all pipeline terrains to find these bombs.

Update 2: All the bombings so far have been carried out in dark hours between 20:00Hrs and 04:00Hrs. This is not a coincidence - the dark hours perfectly favours their plans. Air surveillance should be increased at these times to at least capture the activities that occurred before and after the explosions to arcertain how the bombs were placed in the first place. If the government does not have the capacity or technology to do this, simply Google for satellite companies who can and engage them quickly.

I shall be updating with more tips. "Our beloved Nigeria must remain ONE"







Modified: If you have any useful tip, please post here. i shall include it in my update if found useful. we must do all we can to preserve our dear country peacefully

QuotaSystem:
President Buhari is exhausting all peaceful options to protect himself and his government from appearing to take the option of brute force by default, especially as the President is from a different region.

If you ask me, I'm in full support of this tactical approach; offer them everything except what they want and let them brag, make noise and continue bombing to the world's ears. I expect the government to start globally publicising the damage that the NDA are doing to the Nigerian economy and their people's lands and livelihood so as to earn some sympathy, before deploying the full and final force which is necessary to flatten them.

Already, we have a spokesman's name for the 'faceless' group in less than a week, so the strategy is working. Give them room to gloat themselves into their own destruction, pride has always come before a damned fall.

The strategy is working, exercise a little patience. This is Buhari.

I wish you didn't post this. you have revealed too much

LordAdam:
OP, join the military or keep your bloody mouth shut.

The NDA has Buhari in a cage.

A. They are faceless and anonymous (so there is no one to put a cross hair on, like was the case with MEND and Okah).
B. The Chief Prosecutor of ICC has already visited Nigeria and Buhari has over 3 current human rights abuse cases in the Hague
C. Any scorched-earth campaign like what happened in Odi would have disastrous consequences. I'll list three:
1. The ICC would beam their searchlight on Nigeria. Because of the North East military abuses, Shiites carnage, and killing IPOB defenseless protesters perpetrated in the last 1 year, Buhari's leash is very short at the moment.
2. Militants sitting on the fence would become anti-government, and even pro-government militants like Ayiri and Tom would lose their voices.
3. Nigeria's oil output would fall far below the 1 million bpd mark and our economic situation would be worse off.
4. With the economic situation biting deep more than 1 year after being elected, anti-Buhari sentiments would begin to soar, and impeachment proceedings may likely occur.


GEJ was the first democratically elected president in the history of Nigeria to be voted out.
PMB may make his own record as the first democratically elected president to be impeached or disgraced out of power.

People like our dear OP with their uneducated comments would make that happen by pushing him to make horrible mistakes. He has already made one by going tough at first. Sending the tanks and fighter jets with resulting non-precise targeting would be the last horrible mistake he makes as a CIC.

Bombing a civilian settlement with civilian casualties solely because you are targeting a few hostiles is a WAR CRIME.

Maybe, Buhari wants to add "War Criminal" to his growing list of unenviable titles!

-Lord

You have a good point there. But, how do you deal with a group that is bent on secession? if you were the president, would you like secession to happen in your administration? Even when Nigeria was benefiting from over $100 dollar per barrel it was still difficult to meet up with the financial demands of the country. With secession, there is no doubt, it will result to brutal suffering for the north because their area of strength which is Agriculture is weak. There is no other way PMB could have done it other than with force especially when the reserve has dwindled so low. leakage or waste can not be tolerated at this time especially if you are determined to make corrections. If i were president i would do what PMB is doing only that my entire cabinet would not be politicians but young and sound technocrats who are well traveled and exposed

When negotiation is not feasible the only solution is force. but force must be applied with a fantastic plan. This is where the government is getting it wrong. nothing is new about their approach to fighting the terrorist. no element of surprise. they are highly predictable. too much grahh grahh

make me a special adviser to the president on security and see a total stop to this nonesense
