DipoDee:
Some bastards will insult the fools and destroy their self-esteem until they get married to anything that comes along. Then the bastards will continue to abuse the fools, beat them, abuse them, cheat on them, give them STDs and ruin them.
Some other bastards will ask the fools to pray and persevere, and of course the fools must stay married by all means afterall other fools like them are still searching for bastards to marry; then one day, the fool will get beaten to death.
...and this is a story of bastards and fools and a nation full of hypocrisy.
NOTE: Any bastard that insults Linda Ikeji or Genevieve Nnaji, etc on their single state on this forum again, will be destroyed by Amadioha...Ise!!!
edwife:
Was it worth it? Look at these two little kids,who is going to care for them? Why on earth,will anyone continue to stay in an abusive marriage as if life has no meaning to you. She probably stayed because of her kids and money ,now they get to live with the stigma of daddy killed mummy rather than the stigma of mummy and daddy separated... I wonder which is easier to grow up with.

Yes, marriage is a good thing, but if he hits you or uses you as a punching bag, please, walk away. They don't give medals for endurance,No marriage is worth your LIFE!
It is sad, very sad.Say #notodomesticviolence.

BusinessRe: Wema Bank Positions For Acquisition, Merger by TrollinStone: 3:47pm On May 07, 2016
Ralphlauren:
I agree.
I remember the bank acquired the previously defunct "national bank".
"National bank" at the time was rebranded and stood shoulder to shoulder with the likes of the now defunct STB (standard trust bank).
For some odd reason, national bank seemed to be a better brand at the time compared to wema bank. They had a young management team, employed young, smart graduates and if they had been left to grow, the bank would probably been as popular as GTB.
Wema does not need acquisition. What it needs is an overhaul of its executive board and a change in its strategy.
On point. They need to speed up operations, they currently have one of the slowest customer service rates around; and to be more innovative because they rarely hv anything new on offer to existing or prospective customers, no promo, no new methods, nothing.

CareerAdvice To Young & Aspiring Entrepreneurs by TrollinStone(op): 1:34am On May 05, 2016
As at 2016 Silicon Valley has become the single most competitive professional environment on the planet. Where 20 or 30 years ago, the masters of the universe went to Wall Street to make their fortunes, today those same unapologetically ambitious people (primarily, but not exclusively, men) make their way to Silicon Valley.

For these 0.0001% of the most competitive humans on the planet, anything they can do to keep out additional competition (other founders, not employees. They want employees.), they will do. It's human nature.

Then, these competitive founders become competitive venture capitalists, and they take the same ways they sized up the competition as operators into the ways that they evaluate founders, giving more credibility to those formidable foes they met in past battles going all the way back to the playground.

This is the arena.

It's not an arena that's easy for anyone. However, given this context you can see how technology entrepreneurship among competing masters of the universe is especially challenging for women and people of color to dive in.

I don't have to tell you this; the social science research and basic statistics do the work for me.

But it also isn't the point. The only question an entrepreneur should ask is, "What do I need to do to win in the arena?"

Here are a few things I believe make it possible to compete effectively when you don't fit the dominant pattern of people who were born with every opportunity and the expectation that they could be the next Bill Gates:

Pick a lane. Don't just start a tech startup to start a tech startup. It's too hard. Rather, go deep on a mission, market or domain that captures your curiosity, and that you can imagine working on for the next 10 years. Get extraordinarily good at what you do. Be so good that people come to you for your expertise.

Put down the playbook. The startup playbook is fed by endless posts by newly minted venture capitalists about what they look for in entrepreneurs, what they think makes a great pitch, how you should talk about your market and what growth hacks work today. The audience for this playbook fits a certain profile of entrepreneur who will be judged on their potential & nothing else, no stereotypes or discrimination. This rarely happens in reality. It's a fact. As an entrepreneur, you figure out how to hack around facts.

Control your own destiny. Use shortcuts and as little capital as you can to start generating revenue. To hack around the facts, I believe the most important question to ask yourself is, "How do I get them to come to me?"
Adi Tatarko at Houzz created the company with her husband before taking a dollar of investment. She saw the opportunity to bring together the supply of professionals and home decorating enthusiasts that makes Houzz special. She and Alon created something people loved. Including investors. They came to her.
When I look at success stories like Houzz, or SurveyMonkey and GitHub, who both bootstrapped their way to revenue before raising money, they all figured out how to show massive growth and revenue without capital. It's possible.

Work smarter, not harder. This is the most non-intuitive observation I will probably make. If you want to compete in the arena, hard work isn't enough. And judging yourself on how hard you work, rather than how smart you work can be fatal.
If you value hard work alone, you'll find yourself taking 10 months to raise the same amount of funds an entrepreneur who fits the pattern just raised in a few weeks with a competitive process. Your job as an entrepreneur in this situation is not to say, "I'm going to just keep going." It's to say, "What can I do to show results or build the thing I am passionate about bringing into this world without needing anyone's money?"

This is your chance to work smarter. You can find shortcuts that allow you to serve your market and show amazing results before you have to raise a dime.
If you work smarter, you'll win.

Get a good mentor or mentors. Why? There are many experiences you will have that they've already passed through, and so will have tips on how to pull through handy. Like going into an exam & you've seen the questions already.

Join Groups

Network Attend and connect with as many events in your desired industry/ location. Pick a lane is akin to - don't spread yourself too thin. Sort out what you believe you want to do, and go learn what you don't know. Who knows where you'll end up, but surely it will be somewhere great because of the hard work you put into your journey.

PhonesRe: Why Should I Get A Smartphone With A Big Screen? by TrollinStone: 5:24pm On Apr 27, 2016
Lol OP what a question. Why shouldnt you get a phone with a large screen? Would you like to watch the same movie as your friends as theyll be talking abt details you missed cuz of ur tiny phone? As the person who replied said
"• Your movies and photos will look better on the BOOM J8’s bigger screen.
• You can see more content on web sites while browsing.
• You will see a few more lines on social networks, like viewing some extra tweets on your timeline.
• Games look bigger and better, which makes the game buttons bigger and easier to press.
• Tapping, in general, is a more accurate and non-frustrating experience. Whether you are typing on the keyboard or trying to tap the correct link among three closely-spaced URLs, you are more likely to get it right on TECNO BOOM J8 big screen."

Finish.

BusinessRe: Is It Possible To Do Business Without Borrowing? by TrollinStone: 3:07pm On Apr 27, 2016
Kindly break this down. Ur terms rather technical

Atlantian:
Yes, but the growth will be arithmetic proportion if it survives the risk tenure. You need at least 2 years of survival with incremental profiteering ratio before you can totally be considered de-risked. But if you desire geometric growth, borrowing is the compelling option after being de-risked.

CrimeRe: Wife Drugs Husband, Sets Him Ablaze by TrollinStone: 2:51pm On Apr 27, 2016
This story is smelling. angry

He knew he was sedated & went to lie down peacefully without raising alarm?
When he woke up he gave account of what happened under the influence, in graphic detail...
He doesn't know what he did to the wife that she burnt him?
Madam wife instead of waking up the husband to leave burning house went to go & make report to brother-in-law...
...why should she just leave him there like that when its not as if he was already dead?
The police officer said "This is a serious offence..." Has the matter bn charged to court to prove whether it was accidental or intentional that the word OFFENCE has entered the story?

Again, this story is smelling angry
