Omo! this reminds me of a faithful day I had taken my crush out for lunch.

It was a sunday evening and we had gone to this newly opened fast-food joint to chill - Bills on me!

When we got there, she ordered jollof rice, chicken and moi-moi, and so did i. We also had a pack of hollandia yogurt each to step down our meal.

I did a rough calculation of everything in my head and it summed up to about 10k. I had 15k with me so no problem.

So we were busy eating and chatting when I overheard a customer complaining with raised voice. He had just been served his bill and he couldn't hide his anger at the exorbitant cost of his meal.

"10k for a plate of moi-moi? wetin una put inside!!"? He barked

When I heard moi-moi, I turned to his direction.

"This is corr.uption!" He yelled "Ordinary moi-moi 10k!"

When I looked at his table, I realized his moi-moi was even the small size, meanwhile we ordered the jumbo size.

I called one of the waitresses.

"Nne, biko how much is the moi-moi?" I whispered to her ear

"25k sir" She snapped

"No, I mean just the moi-moi, not the total bill" I voiced

"That's what am saying, sir" She reiterated "This is the jumbo pack and it's 25k for one"

At that moment the moi-moi in my mouth began tasting like agidi.

"Bia Nne" I leaned towards my crush "Can you run?"

"Run? why?" She asked in a confused tone

"Just answer, Yes or No?"

"Okay, Yes I can run. What's the problem?"

"Very good. See, when you hear, on your mark.. set.. Go! You will run outside with speed and take left while I take right"

"Nnamdi, i understand what you are saying, running to where?"

"Nne shut up first! When you reach house, you'll understand"

What's your experience?

Una no go kill person for this forum
😀😀😀😀

How much
Am interested

demanuel:
Do you need extra hand with your monthly physical audit? I can work with you.

I already have a team
If more hands are needed I will check you first.

sonnie10:
security ke? Person way salesgirl don carry kpekus scatter him head go report such?
Sorry to use this word,

As an external auditor mine is to carry out my duty according to SOP of the organization and give well read report and recommendation.

sonnie10:
Lol. That quarterly interval, by then sale girl don build house for owner head.

External Auditor not internal auditing

sonnie10:
At what intervals?

It depend on the management

I advice minimum quarterly but best perform monthly so that reconciliation can take place immediately after findings.

sonnie10:
That means they might be caught and the supermarket will gradually collapse.
Is not even like they hid to take the things, no. They work with their accomplices who would prentend to pay at counter and then walk way with the item.

I got your point and view here very possible and the security man won't even notice this because he will only mark the receipt and not check the content of item bought.

The aim is to reduce theft to the lowest it can't be totally eradicate.

sonnie10:
How long does it take you to go round a typical size supermarket to count every item?

You mean periodic inventory?

If yes a day or two

sonnie10:
I doubt she will pay. She will sell another item that is not in her care, she won’t record it. She will them use the money to settle her debt.
That other item, she would report as stolen by shoplifter.

Big supermarket has camera everywhere and most of them sign contract that once cut stealing they will pay heavy fine and most are scared of the cctv even when it's not been monitored

sonnie10:
You must a very busy job counting these things periodically to balance the accounts. You count nacet blade, tiger blade, Gillette blade, bic shaving to know how many blades left in the pack? Then you also count all the brands of open box toilet rolls?
Most made in Nigeria Candies don’t have serial number. And if you creat one with a sticker, the price of sticker is even more than the price of a candy.

They're easy to count
Have been auditing supermarket for like 7 years now and I don't find it stressful at all

I also audit phone stores also
And I use different method for different product

sonnie10:
How does this prevent the cashier from stealing them? And of what use is the audit, if you don’t find out immediately and stop the source?

The product is in her care the cashier will pay for it.

sonnie10:
Sir, I am eager to learn. When you go for physical inventory audit, how do you count the number of trebor, Tom Tom, butter scots, bubble gum, cowbell sachets, milo sachet, pure water, hacks, all biscuits and all chocolate etc in a rotating stock?

Each pack as number of PCs in a seal the open ones are kept with cashier like Tom Tom, bubble gum etc

And for the cowbell, Milo chocolate and biscuit all this will be empty on the shelf per cartons, the merchandiser that arrange it most report any damage immediately or if one of the roll is not complete due to factory error this can be return to vendor.


Now how I carry out inventory on this smaller items is cycle counting them by category using serial number.

sonnie10:
In any viable supermarket, there are over 100k varieties of goods at a given time. If you have for example a pack of Bic ball pen, there are 50 pieces in it, how do know immediately when one or two is missing?

You can't know immediately but with how this is solve is that most prone items are always at the cashier counter

sonnie10:
How do you keep staff from stealing? Mostly. It’s practically impossible.
A Supermarket is not the type business you as the owner can come and eye ball to figure out that something is missing.
Even the sale record, would only tell you what was sold but not what was stolen ( by staff and shoppers)
Have you tried counting the number of peak milk, three crown, cowbell, Dano, you have let on shelf and try to tally it with the books, it would take a whole day. You have not even dugout the Freezer and candy container to count.

To stop/minimize stealing in supermarket is very possible cause that's what am doing presently as Inventory auditor and I give solution to every problem found in my report.

PoloG:
Greetings y'all..

Please i would like to know how lucrative is a supermarket business ...

How much would it cost to setup a standard one

And what is the ROI monthly/yearly ...

Location is ibadan

Supermarket Business is very lucrative and has good profit margin

Presently I work as a remote inventory auditor with 2 big supermarket in Lagos and I do physical auditing once in a month.

The problem with this business is how to manage your inventory to cut cost, spoilage, theft and this is the job of inventory auditor/control officer.

Lastly and very important the location must be where sales will move. Most of your supplier will supply your LPO and you pay them later like 2 weeks and above it depend on your agreement with them. If the business/sales is moving fast banks are ready to loan you money for expansion to meet demand and most banks use your inventory as collateral.


Wish you luck

OSINBAJO LAYS FOUNDATION OF FIRST SOLAR CELL FACTORY IN W/AFRICA, CALLS IT A GAME-CHANGER THAT WILL ALSO ATTRACT INVESTMENTS


*Gov Sule, Emir of Lafia commend VP’s commitment, say “he is worthy captain of Nasarawa State”

*Emir adds: “in or out of office, we will sustain bond with Osinbajo

*NASENI DG notes VP’s personal input in agency’s progress



As part of its efforts towards transforming Nigeria's power and energy sector, the Federal Government has laid the foundation for the establishment of the first solar cell production factory in West Africa.

The landmark achievement which places Nigeria among countries adopting alternative energy sources, will also transform Nigeria's power and energy sector and boost the local economy.

This was stated on Friday by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, as he performed the foundation laying ceremony for the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) Solar Cells Production Plant in Gora, Nasarawa State.

Prof. Osinbajo stated that “this landmark achievement places Nigeria within the ranks of countries pushing the boundaries in the use of climate-smart alternative energy sources, particularly solar power. And as we have heard, this particular project is building on 10 years of work. 10years ago, NASENI established its 7.5mw solar panel production plant. Its capacity is now 21MW.”

Highlighting the importance of Solar cells to the entire solar energy value chain, the Vice President observed that “NASENI's solar cell production factory in Nigeria will be a game-changer, given the urgency of climate action today and the importance of developing African green energy manufacturing and solutions.”

The VP, who linked the historic development with the Federal Government’s proactive steps in ensuring adequate funding for NASENI, stated that this is a new dispensation for the government agency.

With one per cent allocation from the federation account annually as prescribed by its founding law, Prof. Osinbajo was of the view that NASENI has been given the financial backing to “execute its mandate of delivering technological and innovative interventions across critical sectors of the economy, including Agriculture, Health, Defence and Security, Power and Energy, Financial Services, Solid Minerals, Additive Manufacturing, Smart Fabrications, Factories, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, and Virtual Manufacturing.”

He added that, “for over 10 years, NASENI has been consistent in championing solar power as an alternative to hydro and fossil power sourcing. And it was to this end that the agency established NASENI Solar Energy Limited (NSEL) in Karshi, Federal Capital Territory, with a mandate to deliver alternative solar energy to homes and businesses in Nigeria.

The development and maturity of the Naseni Solar Energy Ltd whose operations have been driven with the vim and zest of a tech start-up, forecasted an increase in local content of the solar energy production system in Nigeria, leading to ever-increasing production of solar cells.”

Pointing out that $50 billion worth of diesel fuel is used yearly, with diesel generators producing more energy than the entire energy grid in 17 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, Prof. Osinbajo observed that “the resultant emissions of carbon monoxide has since become a major and worrying source of pollution. In Nigeria, for example, generator emissions are equivalent to emissions from all of the country's 11 million cars put together.

Emphasizing that this method was clearly unsustainable and required a significant shift, the VP stated that this was the reason why Nigeria developed its Energy Transition Plan, the first in Africa.

According to him, the Plan, which was approved by the Federal Executive Council last year “sets out our pathway to decarbonization by 2060 and achieving universal energy access by 2030.”

“The Nigeria Energy Transition Plan projects an increase in the use of solar power in the Nigerian energy mix, surpassing even gas by 2035,” he added.

Coupled with the foundation now laid for the solar cell factory in Nasarawa, Nigeria’s efforts in adopting innovation is consistent with the African Union’s energy transition plan, the VP pointed out, noting that the factory came at a crucial time.

“Not only is the beneficiation model it has adopted innovative and consistent with the African Union’s energy transition plan in the face of global warming, its output, at full operational capacity, will further impact the solar energy value chain in Nigeria through the low production costs of solar panels.

“In due course, this will in turn attract new investment, local and foreign, for the establishment of solar panel manufacturing plants across Nigeria,” he said.

He also commended the siting of the factory in Gora, Nasarawa State which he said is “the home of solid minerals in Nigeria.”

According to the VP, “the major raw material requirements for the production of Solar cells - silicon and silica - are naturally occurring in abundance in this area. We are grateful to the good people of Nasarawa for hosting this important project and congratulate you in advance for the positive boost it is certain to bring to the local economy.”

The VP congratulated the government and the people of Nasarawa State, as well as the NASENI leadership led by its executive Vice Chair, Engr. Prof, MS Haruna, on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is the Chairman of the governing board.

“I congratulate NASENI on the leadership role it has played in bolstering our national Science, Technology, and Innovation ecosystem, and commend the agency for its transformational advances across the country,” Prof. Osinbajo stated, adding that its “leadership has launched Naseni into a new phase of accelerated progress.”

On laying the foundation of the pioneer solar cell production factory, the Vice President expressed optimism that “it will meet and surpass all our expectations when it becomes fully operational.”

In his remarks, Governor of Nasarawa State, Engr. Abdullahi Sule, thanked the Vice President for his concern towards the development of the State, country and the welfare of its people.

According to him, the VP has had occasion to visit the homes of vulnerable people, who believed that there is nothing else for them, saying, “you had the time to go into their homes and give them hope. Such people, with the hope you have given them will never, ever forget you. We also in Nasarawa State knowing that you touched lives, will never forget you, we remain grateful to you, sir, in office and out of office.”

“In area of promoting agriculture, you are there, you have partnered with us; in the area of promoting health, you were there to commission our diagnostic centre in Lafia… When we have condolences, you are the first to visit. Mr. Vice President, we are forever grateful to you. This is the best we have seen ever in the history of Nasarawa State.”

On his part, the Emir of Lafia, HRH, Justice Sidi Bage (Rtd), thanked the Vice President for his selfless service and contribution to the development of Nasarawa State and Nigeria at large, noting that the government and people of the State hold him (the VP) in very high esteem.

According to the Emir, “you are a worthy captain of our State and we have in turn demonstrated this in fact and in deed. We told our governor that our captain must be our number one priority in anything that we are doing in this country, outside of the President, the Vice President is our priority. Mr Vice President, we cannot express our gratitude for the kind of love that you continue to show Nasarawa State.

“There is no other State in the country that you have visited more than Nasarawa State, particularly in the North. No matter how small that project, programme or whatever it is that we are doing here, Mr Vice President will always be with us in Nasarawa State. I want to pledge that this bond between us, on behalf of our people, I promise we will keep this bond going, in or out of office. You remain the captain of this State and I will continue to honour this pledge on behalf of our people.”

Earlier in his remarks, the Executive Vice Chairman of NASENI, Prof. Mohammed Haruna paid glowing tributes to the VP for his support to the actualization of the agency’s objectives and targets.

He said most of what have been achieved by NASENI in recent times have been on account of the VP’s wise counsel and innovative ideas, stating that groundbreaking solar cell manufacturing plant was a reality on account of Prof. Osinbajo’s personal commitment.

Dignitaries at the event included the APC National Chairman, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu; Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Otunba Niyi Adebayo; Emir of Lafia HRM Justice Sidi Dauda Bage, and the Emir of Keffi, Dr Shehu Chindo Yamusa III, among others.

BastadThiefnubu:
Shut up abeg! Are you talking about the sham that the whole world has witnessed?
Why do we love defending evil?
Don't think Nigeria will ever remain the same after this elections, this elections mark the beginning of the end to the evil forest cum zoo that you so much love. Which reasonable country uses agberos, tribalism, intimudation, bribery of election officials, vote buying, thugs and the likes of Mc whatever to conduct elections.
Pray that the evil you guys are supporting will not consume you and your generation oneday.
Shameless and evil Nigerians!
Nigerians are the problem of this evil forest aka zoo, imagine what an old man like you is glorifying. Shame on you!

Why not win SE state that has no agbero, tribalism, intimidation, bribery of election official, vote buying, thug's and MC

Just accept your loss
In politics you win some you lose some
You keep improving every year till you have the needed structure all over the country.

Don't be emotional when it comes to election/politics
Everybody vote according to their interest including you so don't call the majority names because your candidate did not win

somehow:
Instead of asking to give them powers to create multiple LGs, they can copy what Lagos did.

Lagos created LCDAs from the constitutionally recognized LGs.

The recognized LGs still get what is expected of them, the LGs can then decide how much goes to the LCDAs that emanated from them.

Now, if you're asking for autonomy for the LGs, then state governments have no say in the creation of extra LGs or even LCDAs.

Yes my stand as been about Lagos for example.

Lagos voted against it because FG will only pay to LG recognize by him and won't pay to LCDA

That's the problem that made LAGOS vote against it because he won't have say and can't force the LG chairman to pay LCDA.

Don't forget LG like alimosho has many CA under him, do you think he will distribute money to them. NO he will want to lord over them.

If state likes let them create 10,000 LCDA
what I know is that the government needs to be moved closer to the citizen and FG should pay them all according to the state government formula.

Note: it won't change the amount FG will give them monthly it will just let FG knows total numbers to share among them using the state formula in distribution.

somehow:
Why should state determine how many LG to be created when the funding won't be coming from them?

With such power, a state government can decide that the state needs 100 LGs so as to abandon some of its financial responsibilities by transferring such responsibilities (Mostly finance) to the central government.

Abiola just won in Abia

So shut up

You be MUMU

Abiola is just his nick name

Goke7:
don't waste your time on ignorant people, as we journey towards complete federalism, the parasitic tendencies of these ignorant folks will be exposed. They are ready-made people not willing to build anything for themselves but to covet and grab what belongs to others

I see them as weak and lazy people but industrious.

You hear something like remove port, oil, IGR and ibo in Lagos

Lagos will collapse.

SpatialKing:
So how about Yorubas that your thugs and touts stopped from voting just because they look like Igbos?
You stopped your own people from voting
You should all be ashamed of yourselves
You had called your dead gods to defeat Igbos in your own election
Yorubas are terrible host
Tell me which part of Nigeria have issues with Igbos if not Yorubas...

You guys should rest please

Lazy set of people

Same way you humilate your tribe man in east doing presidential election that wanted to vote other party.

No body has issue with yorubas in Nigeria
Na Igbo hausa wan send packing in north and SS deal with ipob very well.

Show me where yorubas are been treating in Nigeria by their host cause they respected their host.

I feel pity for you all cause Lagos will be hot for you guys going forward, dragging land with your accommodators.

kettykin:
Now that yorubas claim Lagos belongs to yorubas, the FG should do the following .

The relocation of all the oil and gas companies back to niger delta which was relocated to Lagos using a military decree 6 towards the end of the Civil War.

The mandatory movement of consular houses to other areas and parts of the country as is obtainable in other western countries.

The movement or split of the federal government bodies ,Non ministerial departments like NIMASA NMA etc to all parts of the country as this would stop igbos coming to Lagos for different import related permits.

The removal of sea ports from the exclusive list of the Constitution, infant the removal of everything in the exclusive list to give other parts of the country some leverage to open up their maritime economy.

The opening up of the telecommunications space such that the east does not need to gets its internet from Lagos

The rights to states to impose tariff on goods not manufactured in their regions or states.

Electricity, railway and prison are some of the law just passed two days ago by the president.
Sea port still pending on the president table.

Lekki deep sea port was constructed by Lagos state not FG and I don't know why your region can't do same.

Intra railway is own by Lagos I don't know why your region is waiting for it to be removed from exclusive list b4 they can work.

I see that as laziness from your region
Hold your leaders responsible for your responsibility and not FG.

Lagos was an opposition state for 16 years that didn't stop their progress.

You have no excuse not to develop
I see your right up as garbage

Scream:
Yorubas are the greatest lovers in this election...their oppressors played them to continue oppressing them. Igbos are not the people stealing their wealth. It is the politician, if you don't know that, you ar3 foolish. There was no igbo amongst the contenders...none! Except if the children of Remi Tinubu are Itsekiris.

When you nèd to challenge the ruining class, there will not be support, then you will know what you just did to yourself.

What is itsekiri
Are they not yoruba
Yorubas didn't vote GRV because he hate his heritage and not because his mother is Igbo


Desmond mom na Igbo
Dancing senator ademola mom na Igbo
Akeredolu wife na Igbo

Why didn't the yorubas stop them from being elected.

You Igbo just like to always go against your host. Not only to yorubas, you do that world wide and they flog you dearly for it.

This should be expected going forward.

1. Non indigen tax
2. Extra market tax for non yorubas.
3. 70% of businesses in Lagos labor must be yorubas.
4. Non yorubas to start paying school fees in all public schools.
5. No more equal right with non yorubas.
6. Law of protection for all yorubas especially the indigen.
7. All major market should be 70% occupied by yorubas.

This will be some of the things that will be demanded for in our constitution going forward.

Life won't not remain the same.
I really feel bad for them, they just want to punish other tribe with their chest beating.

You can't claim another man territory and expect him not to fight back. It's simple logic

I don't know if they don't think of repercussions before acting.

UK self have to leave EU because of this nonsense.

What's hard in living with your host peacefully
Same complain all over the world.
They need to check their self Aba

I love my side chick ODIS and not ready to lose her

May the best man for the job win

Shattuck:
look when I say godfatherism I am not talking about the usual godfatherism as in mentorship, what we have right here is a system where people believe they don't have to play by the rules all they need do is just to be in the good books of their benefactor and everything will work out even if the masses who actually hold the power is not in support, I don't have anything against Lagos I pray the best man win, Edo state may not be up there yes, but we know we have one less problem to worry about.

Will vote out any party or government that refuse to work. But we also need to calculate well as citizen so that we won't be at the receiving end.

To be sincere I don't know why many governor refuse to do things outside the box to bring development to their people.

Wishing you GOOD LUCK

Shattuck:
look I'm from Edo state and I voted obi too there is no need to turn around because some people insulted your tribe, you are free to vote sanwolu or anybody else,if you look at what is happening you can't absolve your tribesmen too of tribalism, I have been called ipob and chinedu, even Biafra but I can't use this to insult or ridicule the entire Yoruba tribe, I only call them out, as apc or tinubu supporters not as Yorubas, even when almost all are likely to be Yoruba, if you believe in obi that's because you see things in him you admire why not stick to that, even if you are voting sanwolu that's because you see things in him you admire, I am not a Lagos resident but I think sanwolu is a gentleman, for most folks I know who support GVR, either they live in Lagos or not it's just about putting an end to godfatherism and political thuggery by sending a message there are a lot of non indigene who aren't Igbo who share same sentiment, my sister has a lot of resentment/ hate for the Yoruba tribe now she thinks you are the most tribalistic people in Nigeria for the usually threat against non indegenes in Lagos and the insult on others who live in Lagos, I had to tell her that most of these folks are just tinubu/apc supporters, but she thinks it is the tribe, my reason for saying this is if you say you want to hate on the Igbos all of a sudden because of what you were called, others look at you too and hate on you because you hate on others, you will be called a tribalist too at the end nothing seperate you from the people you think are tribalistic, the only thing in your mind you will think your tribalistic hate is justified, but then again so does others.

Just adding to the bolded

What as your state Edo achieve with this
After stopping godfatherism in your state any meaningful development since then.

See nothing is bad in having a Godfather as far there's progress and LAGOS is enjoying that under TINUBU. So we're not ready to change that until he stop working.

James ibori of delta no be godfather, why una no kill am


Even USA support godfatherism
If you don't know maybe I should give you example
The Clinton family control the government of barrack Obama and now Biden.

Godfatherism is everywhere
UK is control by the royal family.

What is needed is development which I think LAGOS is not lacking as a developing state with GDP doing better than many countries.

I want makinde to win

onuman:
Nice contribution. We need to get there - but quick; before another calamity comes knocking on Nigeria's door. I can still remember Bola Tinubu as governor of Lagos State when he crisscrossed the SW region campaigning for political restructuring and reforms in Nigeria.
Obasanjo's political reforms conference was cut short because of arguments over proceeds from crude oil.
Jonathan's political reforms Conference ended but the same north took power in 2015, before the recommendations of Jonathan's Conference could be implemented.

Yes we will get there but about the quick that I can say. Change is constant.
We all we be great.
No Rome again.
No British colonization again
US self go drop power

Change is constant my brother.

onuman:
Bros, dissolution of the old Soviet Union was a spontaneous event after the Russians could no longer hold the nations trapped in the Soviet Union.
In this case of the UK you cited, the Sotts are not being hindered from organising frequent referendums on Separation of Scotland from the UK. But in Nigeria, a Constitution supervised by northern military dictators who were carrying AK47 rifles as they dictated the contents of the Constitution to the drafters of the Constitution, didn't include referendum as means for regions of Nigeria to opt out of Nigeria, for obvious reasons of crude oil and gas deposits in the Niger Delta region.
How then do you think that signatures of other Nigerian groups can be gathered for any region of Nigeria to opt out of Nigeria?

The only way is building alliance as have told you earlier.
The first constitution that was agreed before independence was to have referendum input but was rejected because they can't form alliance. I don't need to say who stop it but I know even today 1 region among us will still do same. I don't blame who voted against it then but I know there's constitution amendment that if proper consultation is made but north and south can see the usefulness.

I know our present constitution was military one which was dominated by the north. If any tribe or region has the upper hand now same thing that follows their agenda is was will be input.


I pray we get there.

onuman:
In bold.
.....still need other regions to sign.
See why I insinuated that you may have the similar fears like Malami's. If one group which wants to opt out of Nigeria must obtain the signatures of other Nigerian groups, no group or groups, can ever opt out of Nigeria.
You are like saying that any of the now freed nations that made up the defunct Soviet Union obtained signatures of each of the nations of the
Old Soviet Union, before they were freed from the old Soviet Union after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Avoid unsophisticated lies on the social media.

Bro read the history you just use for example
Doing the Soviet union the all country all comes to agreement to dissolve. If not I repeat if not they go no where.
Emotion no but this thing.

Scotland still vote to option out of UK even after ENGLAND and WALES agreeing to it yet it fail.

Read brother read
