Hi guys, I applied to MUN for Masters in Employment Relations (winter 2021). Please is there anyone else who applied for same?

Hi, I'm also thinking of applying for the same problem for the fall session. Any luck in your application? Did you get in?

Good afternoon Kalan,I am currently serving (NYSC) and my service year ends in November, but the deadline for the application is in August. Since one of the requirements for application is an NYSC certificate, is there a way in which i can still apply and submit my NYSC certificate when i get it in November

abeg who fit help me fund my bet9ja account with 300, I go use airtime refund d money

did they really kill a dog for this??

BTW he is not the world's youngest billionaire, check your facts first before typing.

Nigeria isn't even in the top 15 most corrupt African countries, why do you guys just make stuff up??

Why do citizens of West African countries and some other African countries still come to Nigeria for greener pastures and why do they see Nigeria as a country they can make it in?? i know compared to most countries Nigeria is an Haven, but Nigerians run away from the country any chance they get.

I have met lots of Togolese, Ghanaian and Sierra Leoneans who come to work in Nigeria and try to send money back home.

Nigeria is the 7th most populated country in the world not ninth, was that a typo?? nice speech tho

9/11 is the most popular date currently.

Yes that is true, but those that mean it should eclipse our own tragedy. Even kids(and adults) born during that time don't even know what happened on 27 Jan, 2002. Our Television stations and radios don't cover it, but are quick to join in the remembrance of another countries tragedy. I guess their lives are more important than ours

tpiander:


Lord have mercy.

Why so you say that??

Why do some Nigerians mourn or post condolences on twitter about the 9/11 incident but no one talks or even remember the Ikeja bomb blast in 2002, much less mourning their death?? Are Nigerian lives less than those of the USA?? Or am i missing something??

dis is wrong understanding hw will u work on earth n reap in Heaven,for ur info ur reward is here on earth n is lack of knowledge dat made many pple not to knw..can't imagine dat u wrk in lagos n u go n collect ur pay in kaduna

Emm i was being sarcastic, joke aside seriously this is how most Christians i have met think joke aside, and this is what is taught in churches

On the contrary, he has helped millions of soul find their path to God, their lives might have become worse as a result and they might have become poorer, but that isn't the aim, the aim is to worship God.......suffer on earth and reap the benefits in heaven is the motto, though that doesn't apply to the leaders in the church.

Please, how difficult will it be to find restaurant space in Lagos mainland and what will be rent be like? Will N100,000-150,000 P/A, get a good place in a suitable location??

Also, is there an office or website i can go to check for available spaces??

Any help/information will be greatly appreciated

No one has still answered the question i asked in my original post.

modelmike7:
What part of the mainland do you really have on mind?

Any where close to a major market will do, though i would like to locate it at a place around or close to Surulere.

drmikeadams:
Have you thought of getting a restaurant space along ore ,where travelers going to the east stop over to eat.

No, i have a restaurant chain idea in mind, that would work best in a place with heavy foot traffic, so Lagos is a more suitable location.

research is a strong point which Nigeria has a lot of input but the applications are exported overseas!

True, and this is mostly due to the fact that most indigenous companies are not receptive to research, i have no idea why. It just seems like they prefer to stick to what works or always work for them and therefore remain stagnant. or they just diversify into a different niche.

One business that will strive well in the country is a Business development Company, i don't know why most people haven't considered this line of business.

Anyways, i think we need to develop a strong affirmation for research and development, though i think this has to start from or Higher educational institutions, but then for a country like Nigeria that is too much to ask for.

baralatie:

r&d
hmmmm

why hmmm??

baralatie:

trust me they are springing all over the place faster than you can imagine.
I think you are going to witness what people never thought can happen.
for example, NAIRALAND!!
who would ever thought?

On the contrary, i beg to defer. There is one strong component lacking in most Nigerian businesses including Nairaland, and it is they lack or don't invest in Research and development. look at Nairaland now, and couple of years back, their hasn't been much improvement, there is this mentality we seem to have which is as far as it works and make money, there is no need to improve upon it. Facebook for example, even with the success they had, they didn't stop there instead they kept on going till today.

Look at Dangote, a manufacturing company but it doesn't have a strong R& department, compared to its counterparts around the world who invest heavily in that department so always come up with new efficient and innovative ways of doing things. Again, another example is Innoson motors, they basically just replicate designs and systems used in other countries instead of researching into what would work here.
Again i might be wrong

Antoinne:

I understand your point here. But really, the only person who would build the hospital first before a government makes law to benefit his investment can only be a Mother Theresa or a Gandhi with immeasurable wealth. There are of course such people, but maybe 1 in a million. Any country waiting for such person to come along will tarry in the depths of under-development for a long time. 1 in a million persons don't come around every other year. Every other 5 years seems more like it. And remember, he must still first grow into an adult and must, by some chance of goodwill, have money

unfortunately that is the case. It might be wishful thinking but i honestly feel that i what we need. I know most people say the country will develop when the government wakes up, but i have this belief that the future of Nigeria and Africa as a whole lies in the Private sector. It is much to ask but we do need an individual or individuals to step up and pave the way for others. Where that individual will come from i have absolutely no idea.

baralatie:

well the history of Indian is just like China and Japan.it has a depth of literarature as to its capacity to modernization and development.by the time you add the name MAHATMA GANDHI to Indian modern history.
it is not far fetched why that class of Hindus will not perform(once again you see the effect of CULTURE OF GOVERNANCE AND ITS PEOPLE SIDE BY SIDE)

Yeah that is absolutely right, we really did go wrong somewhere along the line

emperorceaser:
The government builds the society to become great.. .
The government are meant to provide conducive environment (good roads, hospitals, electricity e. T.c) for the individuals in the country....

Capitalism all relies on the individuals to take advantage of an opportunity to make the society great....

In nigeria everybody is looking for white collar job and no one likes hearing of agriculture

That is true, but there is another way of looking at it, most times especially in developed countries the innovation or effort of an individual(s) forces the government to make laws that will provide that a conducive environment for that business, for example if a person builds a world class hospital in maybe Ondo state, the government of the state( even if it is corrupt) will be forced to create a condition in which that hospital strives due to the amount of potential income and exposure it will receive

Antoinne:

Must they be rich people? I didn't find a Richard Feynman there, nor a Nikola Tesla.

Yes, you are right. Individuals even make government to start with, so it's pretty obvious individuals make a nation. However, if governments do not support with innovative legislations, you can't expect a country to achieve that much regardless of how desiring the individuals are for change.

Case in point: google wecyclers and see how one woman is pushing the boundaries here in Nigeria in the recycling business. One can't talk too much about what this lady is doing and how it holds serious potential for changing this country. Yet, there's a government that doesn't have a policy on recycling, nor willing to promulgate laws that could not only expand business in that industry, but also reorientate the handling of waste in its urban regions.

Lol i wanted to use few names most people are familiar with, most people don't know who Richard Feynman is.

Yes i have heard of Wecyclers, but i think what she needs most are investor(s) in her business. The reason why i say this is even though the government do not have laws or policies to enable her expand, the way the government and our laws are shaped gives enough room(leeway) for someone like her to expand her business astronomically if she has enough backing, and again this is where individuals come into play

Not sure if that makes sense though

baralatie:

let us Starr with america legend
1,George Washington
followed by
2,Abraham Lincoln
and then the rest just fell in place by Gods' Grace!

it is both consisting of its culture of governance, businesses, trade and commerce and power likewise faith.
for example,if rockyfella kept all his wealth in france where would america be.if Andrew Carnegie kept his headquarter in France,where would USA be.if bill gates and all their brains shipped to France with their wealth.how far with american dream.
if Hollywood moved to France........
you get the problem now?

Yeah that is true, but then look at a country like India, i don't know much about their history so i might be wrong, but even though the British didn't industrialize the country and with a high level of corruption, they still produced individuals like Jamsetji Tata, Dhirubhai Ambani, Kailash Chandra Mahindra and their likes

I was having an argument with some people about the developed/developing countries and roles the government and individuals play in their development. I am arguing that inputs from individuals in this countries led to an improvement of both the government and the societies but they are saying the government should take the credit instead.

Without people like Jamsetji Tata, Andrew Carnegie, Andrew Carnegie, Rockefeller, etc, most of this countries wouldn't be where they are today. So i have two questions:
(1) Who should be credited for their ideas and innovation leading to developing this countries?? i.e where do you stand in this argument??

(2) AS Africans (using Nigeria as a point of reference), Why do we seem unable to produce individuals like this??

dotsdavidson:


Please can we talk more on this?

Hi, sure are you interested?? What do you want to know??

fucklikant101:
Just got back to Nigeria few months ago after 7 years in eastern Europe, I studied there and worked 2 years there and saved up. Now I am in Nigeria, I know 2.5 is very little but at least it is something. What type of business can i start with this?

Pls help a brother out

Hi, i have a restaurant chain business idea, and have been looking for a partner or an investor. The restaurant if executed properly would be very lucrative. I have estimated the start-up cost to be between N600,000 - N700,000. The restaurant will target middle and low income earners and can be expanded into any part of the country. Lagos is the state i would prefer starting because it has desirable factors that will help the business grow faster. The restaurant will have a couple of chains and a corporate head that will manage the day to day activities of all the restaurant chains. So if you are interested and want to hear more let me know.

xana101:
i have like N2m right now. i'm seriously looking for any biz to venture into that would give me N10k at-least and at most 20k daily. i've been so so confuse lately, i wanted to venture into Chemist shop to sell drugs, i got a very big shop around Iba close to LASU, but there is a pharmacy there. they said i can-not open chemist there. i thought of supper market. i saw like 3 super store around there. some-one told me about selling drinks in whole-sell. like crate of stout, bear, can-drinks and minerals. he said with N2m i can start. i did my research. the profit margin is small, to make 10k to 20k would be difficult. i'm so confuse. the place is a very good location. i thought of selling foods. i'll employ people to do it. i'll only supervise them. plz if u have any idea help me. thanks.

I saw your post and just had to reply. I have a restaurant chain business plan/idea. It has the potential to be very lucrative if executed properly. The only problem i have is i don't have the capital to pursue it, so i am looking for a loan or even better a business partner(either silent or active). I would actually prefer having a partner. I am thinking of opening it in Lagos since it has a very favorable market for this kind of venture. Anyways, if you are interested and want to hear more, let me know.

Good day, i will try to keep this short. I have a restaurant chain business idea, and i hope to pursue it in October this year. This business venture would be successful if the business layout i have planned out is implemented properly. The only thing i need to put in place is the start-up capital for the business, which i have estimated to be between N600,000 - N700,000. So i need either a partner who can invest in the business be it an active or silent partner or one or more investor(s) who's looking for businesses to invest in.
