Still on the tiny sticks level.
I think jobs like this should be given to the civil engineering student as a final year project.
Building something strong enough to * withstand the anger and consequence* of heavy rain pour.

Just my thoughts

What to build is never the issue
The sincerity to buy the proper materials as specified is always the issue

Hemjayy:
Is that what you do? where do u live?! What's your YouTube channel?

No, I don't do this. But here is a link to YouTube for the steps required.

Just know that you will spend a lot of money on computers and internet data.
Not every business is successful in every type of place. To be frank, this should be attempted
more as a play thing. But it can still bring money IF YA LUCKY O!!!.

I live in Lagos. But I that doesn't help. Internet is expensive in Nigeria

Hemjayy:
A station?! I live in Kwara state, dre are only 2 TV stations..People dont even watch dem anymore

Well, if you must Binge watch series and get paid at the same time, this is the way to go.
or else, kumuma by the DVDs, watch by yourself with no payment.

ApolitiCal:
What if I say 'can you shift a bit?' instead of '' could ''

Don't use extra words unless you mean to.
You have added the word "can".

Do you want this person to shift or not?
-
For the question, "Can you shift a bit?"
You have now opened up avenue for the person to respond"
1. Yes I can
2. No I cannot.
3. Yes I can shift a bit, but I only shift in France.
-
As I said, English is a programming language. Speak it properly to get the exact result you want.

horsepower101:
This is not rocket science.

It is French O.

You need to cost the image you have shown.
The Earth moving equipment require Diesel. Nigerians don't usually own companies that own NEW earth moving
equipment. It is the Arabs, Lebanese, Germans and Italians that own such good quality equipment.

Already, you have sent the contract for the gutters out to foreigners.

Who will pay for it? Will it employ any of the "Lazy" Nigerian youth who are looking for jobs?
If Dangote can approve the IMPORTATION of INDIANS to the Lekki Free Trade zone to build his refinery,
... are you not seeing why many continue to remain unemployed?
-
To get that nice rounded gutter, Lagosians themselves have to take over the construction. We have never
been good at working together. So we remain with rubbish gutters.

KrystosCJ:
Is that so? Are you saying that our dwindling use of the English language has led to the disruption and decadence in our society, morals et al?

How did speaking English unite us? And how has not speaking English separated us?

Please I'm all nti.

We are not a real nation.
This region is the Niger Area. Occupied by different tribes. A total of over 600 languages.
We did not know each other before colonial times. Everybody just did their thing in their respective kingdoms.
The British White Explorers, came on ships to this region in a period of years. They came to explore, exploit...
How does a British man speak to people who are not English? They just force English into your ears. Unlike other
Europeans who colonized other parts of Africa, British did not attempt to learn any of our languages.

They taught each of the different regions English, for Trade, for Christianity...

Once each region could speak English, then it was possible for a Hausa man to talk to an Igbo man in English.
A Yoruba to talk to an Efik man in English.

Once this region (Niger area) started speaking English, we could be grouped into on country, Nigeria.
On the West is Benin Republic - French colony. On the East is Cameroon - German Colony.
-
The language of our Government is English, Education- English, Administration - English.
-
We had no problem when they were here. We didn't even fight for independence. They just left.
-
And then, the tribal wars began. Goodluck was just too sensible to speak English. No matter how foolish you think
he is, he sha spoke English. Buhari has addressed us in Hausa - The president? - Definitely that Address was meant for
the northerners. Everybody remembers Daura, Fulani, Herdsmen, Appointed security personnel. Is that not enough
evidence to you His Hausa is meant for the Hausa part of Nigeria?

When people are clamouring for Igbo Presidency, what do you think will happen? An Igbo President will get to power
and start speaking Igbo. Whom will Benefit? Igbo's alone. Can you not see that if that cannot happen, that is why they
want Biafra back, let them speak all the Igbo they like to each other.

And Oduduwa Republic of the Yoruba's?
-
Nobody is learning anybody's language. Everybody remains on their mother tongue. And back again to the division
of the different kingdoms we were, before the British came.

I don't know your tribe. But I am neither of Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa. Nigeria does not favour me at all now, and will
not favour my people in the future. My area supplied Nigeria with all the Crude oil. The money of which is spent on things
like N50,000,000 power bike...

Olalan:
I pray they effective this ban

Government speaks
People Pray.

But the doing is never done.

tobillionaire:
someone shld pls tell me d difference between 'will' and 'would'

See the difference here:
https://writingexplained.org/will-vs-would-difference

KrystosCJ:
Most of the people that type on NL don't read let alone type good English.

Someone asked, "Who English epp?".

At the end of the day,

English is not for everybody.

-
Without this English we are speaking, we would not have a country. There would be mass chaos everywhere.
The English we are speaking united us. The English we refused to speak, when we started doing "me and my village"
runs in government work, has led to the detriment you see today.

Nice image.

But that okada? haba!
Him for use style stand near this one na.

This country needs more than all this long English.
You just wrote down nice words. But we have no proof that you will actualise anything you said.

Sheybe you said $1 = N1, 3 years ago?


We have not seen that one O. You are now saying this one.

lakesider:
Even the British don't care about this .
Good English not equal sense

English is like a computer software or programming language. It is filled up with advanced codes. Sometimes you need to arrive at a specific point to achieve a specific goal without giving anyone any room for misunderstanding.

Bad English just means you are reckless with your words and under unfavourable conditions will breakdown and say rubbish.
-
The Yoruba phrase ( I'm not Youruba):
Éjo e bami sun. Is wrongly translated to:
Please help me shift.
People say this all the time thinking they are speaking English.
-
Actually, I don't need to help you shift. You can shift by yourself. Just try it.
-
In correct English, you should be saying:
Please could you shift a bit.

When I was taught English here in Nigeria, we still had a lot of British influence.
Most of the errors your stated are the type of errors American speakers make.
At some point, we corrupted our British English with American.

Your/You're. - I do not know a single Nigeria who makes this mistake or can pass through school and make this mistake. I have only seen this on American social media, like yahoo, reddit...

HigherEd:
I tell you.... Thank God someone is now speaking about the safety of Christians in this country, even though its an outsider. Truth be told Christians are an endangered specie in some places in Nigeria.

Trump may be a coconut head to Americans O. They can be cursing him every day.
But it is exactly this type of coconut head that is good for them.
Pikin wey don spoil needs iron hand. That's what Trump is doing to them.
You can see he has a good point.

Bossontop:

Wen all dis naija wahala go finish??...ehhn??.....me I don't tire oo

Even ordinary comment again?
Ladies will use opportunity to snap selfie. Haba.
-
When Mbanefo Odogobia was wooing you, you were doing shakara in dé village. Now age don catch you, ya using style-style to paste selfie upandan.

Be waiting for Bruce Wayne there.

Kobicove:
I hope the CBN can carry out this threat

May be the CBN will or will not.

Sack the CEO, we hear about it on news and foolishly jubilate as usual.

Employ the sacked CEO in another under-G runs.
We would not hear that one.

The financial account that was not published before that led to the sack of the CEO. Will still not be published.
All the accountants have more time to copy and paste jaga-jaga numbers and mathematics with %, £, $,€,¥ .
Then release the rubbish account statement only after some people remember to ask them about it.

kennygee:
Instant Karma

Bike? Instant Karma. And we are happy.
-
Nigeria's loot gone, irresponsible leaders, president that approves of Fulani killing his citizens, then calling his citizens"Lazy Youth", going overseas to tell Oyibos that all his citizens are CORRUPT,
...
no instant Karma for that one?
...
Where is the home address of this Karma thing? I need to pay a visit and check out if it is well.

DynasTee:
The richer you become. the more your sleepless nights and days

Bill Gates is the only man that can be asleep.and money is being paid. Sheybe that's what you said you want?

All others who went to sleep for a living, have died of hunger.

Nigeriabiafra80:
GOING TO AMERICA IS NOW ACHIEVEMENT TO BUHARI AND HIS GOONS

He should learn from other African leaders.
This one below, the prince of Zamuda, went to America.
He shouted, "Good Morning My neighbours"!

And Americans replied, " F*** you"

Abjay97:
Who else discovered that Trump didn't go to meet Buhari at the airport when he landed; as US presidents often do?

After flushing your sh1t in the toilet, do you still follow it to the soakaway?

AlexCk:
Sleep Trainee.

Salary - "#250k monthly

Well you need much preparation to attain this job.
Here are the general steps.
-
Step 1.
Set up a successful business, like Bill Gates' Microsoft, or Jeff Bezzoz Amazon.

Step 2.
Hand over daily operations to a bunch of CEOs and other degree holders.

Step 3.
Fire up some lazy Nigerian youth so they work for you.

Step 4.
You can now sleep and get paid. But not too much.

Hemjayy:
Binge watching series.

Set up your YouTube station and discuss about TV series.
Go to a TV station and offer this service.

MXrap:
It is very simple.

All those worthless states should be acquired by those economically powerful states.

Simple

Nigeria started as 3 regions. Go back to those e regions.
-
All this creation of 1,000,000 states is 419. They each wanted to have Federal allocation.
So Stupid were they that they killed off all their local industries and started waiting for Federal allocation.
Today, they have forgotten how to work for their money and will now die of hunger if federal allocation does not get to them.
My grandfather sold palm fruit to the British right here in Nigeria. It was the common trade of our area. Nobody was waiting for Federal anything that time.

naijaking1:
Bowing to greet is not the same as bending a knee in any culture!
Well except for Yoruba muslims greeting Hausa Fulani masters

And this is where we all mess up. Buhari is the leader of all Nigeria. He does not represent only his tribe. You cannot greet him like a traditional ruler because he is not a traditional ruler. He is to speak to you in English and you respond in English which is the national language of this country. And You greet him like an English man would greet another English man.

Any other style of greeting will favour one tribe over another tribe and create unrest among the people. This country is volatile and you must never bring in tibal sentients at the seat of power.

Abbeybailey:
You are spot on. There's no coverage of President Buhari visiting the White House unlike President Macron of France who was given a State dinner and Angela Merkel of Germany who was in Washington DC couple days ago. Leave all the noisemakers on Nairaland worshipping a bigoted Trump who doesn't give a fvck about Africa or Africans.

Shey Trump said we are shithole country. So why is Buhari going there? Is he going to slap Trump? They should do fast and catapult Buhari and his plane out of US.

My fellow Nigerians, you all seem to have forgotten that NIGERIA IS YOUR COUNTRY. When will you act as a citizen of your country?

It is this type of bullsh1t that keeps the rich ones richer and the poor ones poorer.
-
You have done this ass licking thing so much that even when is it is not requested, you still seek out the ass to lick.
-
You have carried that all the way to your churches. Even to the point of allowing your pastor to MATCH YOUR HEAD, REMOVE YOUR PANT, FINGER YOUR GENITALS.
-
Reverence is meant for God. At best any man of God deserves nothing more than a slight bow. God does noi treat his own children of his image and likeness as SH1T.

Jesus says, "I no longer call you slaves but friends. For the slave does not know the master's heart. But you know my heart".
-
If you are not a slave, why are you still licking ass? Why can't you collect your country that belongs to you from these rich illiterates? Instead you spend your data and energy insulting each other. An army that is fighting itself can never conquer an enemy.

kristonium:
The rate at which marriages are packing up calls for serious concerns!!!

We are a FAKE PEOPLE.
We snap pictures and brag on social media with wealth we did not make. A Fu*king country that has NO MANUFACTURING PLANT, YET ALL THE CITIZENS ARE HAVE HIGH TASTE FOR JEEP!

CAN YOU MAKE THE JEEP? ARE YOU EVEN SUPPORTING THE YOUR OWN PEOPLE who want to MAKE THE JEEP?
You are instead supporting your rivals, the white people who send THEIR JEEP over to your market and then YABBING YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD as idiots who cannot make fine things like Oyibo's own.

I SWEAR NOW, WHOSE PANT is covering your unclothedness as you read this message? The one you made? The one your mother made? The one made by your village? By your state? By your country? The one at least made by black people in Africa here? At least PANT NA?

Or

The imported one? That has helped destroy all our manufacturing facilities here in Nigeria?

How can you base the standard of your life upon what you cannot even produce?
-
We refuse to ask HOW people make money and just PRAISE THEM when the spend the money lavishly.
-
Maybe you are Hausa/Fulani. Why don't you sell groundnut and cow meat, and use that money to buy iPhone and fly to London?
-
No everybody is doing something that is TIED to Crude oil. Or kidnapping oil workers.

Only the indigenes of the region upon which crude oil is found are tied to crude oil. THE REST, GO AND FIND YOUR LEVEL.
-
I cannot come to your backyard and collect your yam and pawpaw, speak English for you and leave you in hunger.
-
Live according to what is in your backyard. Your eyes will open and all this fake braggadocios lifestyle will stop.
-
The woman and the man are both fake people. They married each other and now marriage has brought out the ugly truth of fakeness in their lives. Just 10 weeks. The fake girl cannot bear to face the fake man she married.
-
And some people said Rhor or German football coach should marry a Nigerian girl. Is he an idiot?

sankristol:
Wait Till An Ikwerre Girl Rides The Sanity Out Of Your Cassava,your Brain Will Just Reset,and You Start Singing. . .
My Baby Gimme Boom,anything I Do She Gimme Boom!!

Is marriage only about sex? So because of sex he will forget his German precision principles? Is it only the Ikwere girl that has (that thing)? Every woman has it. He doesn't want to be stuck with some one of light mind. Someone who acts without thinking. Someone believes in shortcut. Someone who is only after money and not interested in the principles that he uses for his high quality coaching job.

IamLaura:
You’re excited cos he said he can’t marry a Nigerian woman?
And this makes you feel good right..?

Do you know that Germany is the center of precision and high performance? Audi and Mercedes Benz are precision driven cars.
Don't you think that German people who make these cars are ALSO precise and high performing?
-
Which Nigeria youth here has an honest degree? You think the man has not seen our jaga-jaga nature in all our ladies? Even if he was unmarried, he won't try it. He has already said the answer. Nigerian women are beautiful and tempting. Finish.
-
But in the area of precision, attention to detail, thoroughness, humility, living WITHIN your means. ZERO. A big fat ZERO.

lestat:
Poverty can twist the mind indeed

Do not suppose that people fall into poverty of their own accord.
This is Nigeria where injustice reigns, from politics to pastors.
-
I do not condone what the parents did.

midolian:
Very true..

If Ghana was half as big as Nigeria, her police would be twice as bad as that of Nigeria. Bribery and corruption in the police force will be as legal as frying puff-puff.

What many of you criticizing your own dont know is that, it is not easy to police a home, let alone a country as big as Nigeria.

There's nothing difficult about policing big Nigeria. The problem we have is that oil money which is meant for the development of the Niger delta wherein it is found, is being unjustly used by the seat of power due to an unjust constitution that nobody wants to correct. This money is used to by bribe the jurisdiction and to remain acting big-man (aka, swallow panadol for headache in London for 4 months). The Nigeria police, is in confusion and hunger. They can be bribed for as little as N50 NOT TO STAND FOR JUSTICE. Yes, they are that hungry.
Have you been to their barracks?
In the affluent Ikoyi, full of all the London and American people, Falomo police barracks is THE SH1T HOLE of Nigeria. Go there and see it. There is literally SH1T on the floor. STINKING PLACE.
The men who are supposed to protect YOU the citizen live upon a pile of sh1t. Some time ago, one of their barracks buildings collapsed due to old age in Ikeja.
How can such a man refuse N50?
