Money is not the only problem people face.

As Nigerians, most of our problems are not even money related.

Our core problem is political.
As the political is not settled, it has led to anger and bitterness with has given birth to insecurity.
The only thing money can do to eliminate these problems is to carry you away, totally out of the country to overseas country.

At a time in the past, when I lived in the UK, I worked in a call centre. We were given this earphone thing to wear on our heads.
Anyway, It's all computers and networking stuff in the office. Me, I no get work for Nigeria before, na there wey I see work do. Thank God for that time.
Well, there's different departments calling different types of customers in there.
One of them was called Northern Rock. I have jack of an idea about anything.
They told us that Northern Rock is a loan company. That people (oyibo people) have taken loans from the company and are supposed to pay back according to agreement.
Our job was now to phone the customers and threaten dem small, so they will pay.
Threaten kini? Me wey dey find visa, make I follow dey threaten oyibo for their own country again? E cannot work.
I was just using gentle voice to talk. But the core local oyibos were threatening anyhow on the phone. "we will come and collect your car, collect your house if you don't pay". Everybody was forming their own threat to make the customers pay.
I hated that work. The thing was just tearing my brain psychologically.
Our boss just told us, those people deserve it to be threatened. They took the loan and now want to escape payment.
Ah God! Life.

Today now, we too have followed oyibo path and now both collecting loans and fearing phone call. I never thought this would happen in Nigeria.

Goodman247:
Evil is embedded in d mind of most Nigerians

Why do you say that?

I should use my money to watch Nigerians misbehaving?
I don't need to spend money on that. I'm already surrounded by Nigerians misbehaving in real life, 24/7

What I want to watch is Nigerians behaving well movie.
I will pay full price to watch that one.

baralatie:
Well unless the cockroaches migrated from the toilet areas.
Hmmm
Wahala dey be that

Cockroaches hang inside soakaway pit or chamber in your backyard. Open it you will see 1000s there. That's why it hard to eliminate them from the home. You kill 2, 5 more come from that soakaway. That's their village.

thesicilian:
Take the cockroach to the hospital let collect it's blood samples to check for infections. If there's none then you can eat the soup.

There's nothing wrong with the cockroach blood. It is its body that is polluted. Open soakaway chamber at the back of your house, you will see 1000s of cockroaches hanging under the slab. That's where they stay during the day and make their way into your kitchen at night. Sh1t body inside your soup.

mike8804:
Europeans are full of themselves, this is caused by Africa inferiority complex.

When Germany makes BMW, Mercedes and Audi and we are here killing ourselves to buy their car. New one, Second Hand, Third Hand sef.
But we will go and make our own car and use.
GTBank wanted to finish Innoson sometime 2018/19.

dangoteinlaw:
Potential home owners have been inclined to believe that a bricklayer with 20years experience is better to handle their project than a fresh out of school qualified structural engineer.

I feel for the trade.
Structural engineers will calculate the exact material required to put the structure up.
But because we don't really know if materials are actually what they are supposed to be, the structural engineer then has to add a factor of safety: ie, some extra material is added to ensure that even if the builder buys rubbish in the market, the building will still stand based on the calculations.
If he doesn't communicate this well, the client would think, he's just making the building expensive with plenty materials.
it's the experience of communication that structural engineers require.
The Brick layer doesn't know any of these calculations.
But if he communicates better (speaking Yoruba etc), the client might connect better with him and believe what he says over the Engineer.

AbdulMagaji:
Imagine what humans developed so as to be used to destroy fellow humans

Nigeria don't have mind for that.
But we have mind to kidnap fellow Nigerians and remove their organs
So who is worsr now? Nigeria or USA?

Wakins:
It depends

In truth, it does depend as you said.
But the reality is that once you pick the first one, the second one is coming along.
Before you know it, it becomes a regular thing. Every weekend.

Fuckyoumod:
you are very dull, slow and lacks the sense of a human being.

I mean no disrespect dear.

Spoken like a true Nigeria.
An insulter of others.
That's how we will continue insulting each other in this country and going nowhere.
I've spoken.
I await my own insult. Abi?

Emma1Oj:
If Nigeria as a country is doing well, all these wouldn't have be in existence.

Bad leaders, bad economy. Everyone is fighting so hard to survive in a country where there's an abundance.

Actually you didn't say anything at all.
Nigeria has multiple languages. 500+
Even though we are speaking English (here on this forum) and colonised by British, many people are totally unhappy with the idea of speaking English and they refuse to speak it.
In that case, how can you communicate with them?
The people who colonised Nigerian (Britian) are all speaking one language, English. And they remain stronger than Nigeria .
As long as we continue disagreeing to accept English or ANY OTHER ONE SINGLE LANGUAGE, this country will never move anywhere.
No leader can do anything about it. Even his cabinet will be fighting each other due to language differences.
And that's the fate of this country.

muyico:
Modern slavery

If you need the job, submit your phone, do your job and collect your salary and go.
You were not born with phone gummed to your hand. So the employer is not mutilating you.
The boss can clearly see that this generation is unfocused, checking phone 27 times a day for useless messages.
If however you believe that you cannot let go of whatever message you are checking inside your phone,
then carry your phone along with you and go and find another job.

Although this example is not perfect, but this is the Nokia 9300. It came out around 2007/8..
As you can see, it doesn't have any camera. Almost all other Nokias back then had cameras.
This one was created to prevent employees of organisations from taking pictures of company stuff.
It's just an example though.

But if you can't accept the employers conditions on phone usage, then leave the job and save him and yourself headache.

Urheadmaster:
It is shameful what the so called giant of Africa has become.

Please I'm tired of hearing this "Giant of Africa".
That is 60 years old, olden-days gist.
Nigeria has failed that one since 60 years ago. Even your parents weren't even born the last time that phrase made any sense.
You can call Nigeria a highly populated nation. But of what use is that bullsh!t?
Austria and other European nations have less population than Lagos. But their GDP is higher than the whole West Africa.
Borning plenty pikin doesn't make a nation great.
Nobody calls this country anything again.

ibtommy:
Bush rat and locally made wine

Simple.!
If they don't like it, they should get out.

DrDunamis:
Every Nigerian food is dope

Simple correct answer.

Enough of all this "White man is sacred" mentality.
We should always stand for ourselves.

All the Nigerian foods.
Offer with confidence. If they don't like it, they should enter their aeroplane and F*** off.
How can you come to my country and tell me that my food is bad? Did I send you message?
When you travel to their country, you will open your wide mouth and be eating their burger and chicken. You no go even form healthy-living sef.

marlow1962:
Are people really that dumb? That they can't verify the name of who you are transferring money to. That mistake is the dumbest mistake have ever seen or heard.

If you do a transfer at an ATM it sometimes shows the name and other times no name.
So it's very possible to make the error.

QuinModah:
I think new hire are different from new hire in respect to their levels of experiences.

For example, a new hire can be, new GOC, new Unit commander (Director).

In this context, are we saying they should not fix some loopholes after they have understood the process , system and people? Yes, they will, and that where the Messiah comes in.

Also, either you are good employee or bad employee, you will always have enemies.

Eh, they will first close their mouth and learn the process.
After learning they will understand
After understanding they can suggest.
And if the suggestion is not taken, they should close their mouth back.
After all they don't have their own company that they are running in their house. And don't know anything about how to start a company like that one.

Zimmermann:
OP is basically saying, if it’s obvious you’re good at what you do, don’t rub it on others faces

OP, worry no more…your insecurities will be put into consideration nxt time

I think it's only CEOs who are employed to shout at everybody and change the whole structure of the company.
But that CEO would have understudied that particular organisation for numerous years and knows exactly what he is doing before he is employed.
Elon Musk entered Twitter and sacked workers off. Well, later he sha said he made mistake and has lost money.
The Google man, too. Facebook man, Microsoft man... Those are the people that enter company and change things.

where is the one obasanjo paid, it has been consumed by inflation from useless policies implemented by our useless leaders, this is why we need good leadership in this country, if we continue recycling these old criminals into power, no matter how much you get as wages, it will still be consumed in no time and continue asking for another increment

Asamota:
Ogbeni do your fraud and don't forget to create a tiktok account to show the girls you've arrived when you eventually defraud a human like you.

Shalom.

You are jumping into wrong conclusion!
As I said before, you the client are the one that caused the problem of the yahoo boys.

Brendaniel:
So INEC spent about half a billion dollars with 4 years planning for BVAS to fail on election day....

We are going to continue suffering from stupid issues like this until we learn to pay livable minimum wage.
One dissatisfied UNDERPAID worker somewhere just pulled out one USB flash drive and went home.
O Pari! The whole BVAS scattered. People speaking English up and down.
Abi, who are those that will carry out the real BVAS work and maintenance 24/7? Is it not low level staff?
Things like this don't happen in Western countries because the lowest level workers are still able to live properly with their salary without begging for money/dash. That their salary can cover food transport rent and small savings.
In Nigeria, it is simply not so.
The worker cannot have rest of mind as he knows the salary will not take him to the end of the month.
And this is why key systems in Nigeria will continue to fail.

Asamota:
There are other high-paying skills youths can acquire. Why fraud?

Nigerian youths are just lazy.

I worked in a welding company once. The man welds and fabricates stuff. He has plenty machines.
Youth will come there to learn work. After 1 month when they see the TINY salary the man is paying, they will just steal on or two metal stuff and run outside the company and start their own welding workshop across the road.
Then YOU the client will go and meet them for your welding needs, and avoid the proper man inside the company.
Now the man is almost alone there with all the equipment and no workers to help him finish work.
Who caused the problem? Is it not you?

Asamota:
There are other high-paying skills youths can acquire. Why fraud?

Nigerian youths are just lazy.

Find and give them na.
Me, I'm doing a high skill job but the pay is low, after all the high skill.
To go to higher pay, I need to get more higher skill again.

I'm not defending them O.

adecz:
Frankly speaking, what options do
the youth of nowadays really have❓

Now you are asking the CORRECT question.
Even the police that arrested them, are not even earning enough salary.

Asamota:
Youths nowadays no longer want to work.

There's a scarcity of competent:
Mechanics
Carpenters
Plumbers
Tailors
Salesmen
Etc.

But you'll see a disrespectful and poorly educated 15-year-old brandishing iPhones and shouting “agba picker” all over the internet.

What can we do? Their senior Mechanics, carpenters, plumbers, tailors, salesmen... were not making enough money. Customers treating/cheating them anyhow.
The youth now saw other yahoo boys getting big money and so decided to follow their yahoo elders and learn from them.
-
In foreign countries these trades: carpenter, plumber etc are protected by guilds. You learn it, get certificate and fix your price.
The customer must use your service and pay full price. They don't have any other roadside option to get cheaper prices from as we do in Nigeria.
We SPOILT the system here in Nigeria by patronising roadside plumber, tailor... people without certificate. They charged cheaper price. but they earned less money as well.
Now, the youth are not ready to follow that LESS MONEY direction. And are instead going for FULL TIME scamming and juju.
WE caused the youth's problem.

This is a simple thing na.
Start a business. Start producing, or selling whatever product or service.
That one will never fail you.
As you are doing it, you can later apply for a job with full confidence that your business is there at your back.
The business doesn't have to be big million dollar setup.
It can be plaiting hair or selling moi-moi.

The important thing is to just START IT.

Otherwise you end up here on Nairaland, jobless, wasting your time arguing and fighting with the whole of Nigeria.
Job is by luck.

kerry57:
That is okay. But critically looking at latest innovations in IT, we are gradually moving into the fulfillment of the scriptures.

The mark of the antichrist will be given on the human forehead or hand as it was written.

Watch and pray.

As it is now, nothing has been marked on anybody's face or hand.
The technology is just reading the face and hand and you can go free.
I guess the next stage is when something will have to be put inside either your face or hand maybe a type of wireless sensor so that from a distance, the payment/transaction can be made.
That is the one when people will have to decide whether or not to embed the sensor in their bodies.

godofuck231:
Most of those women pry on weak men or simps , next time make sure she drives a luxury car and you stop greeting her in the mornings , she will shrink in

If you are strong, build your own house.
She knows the strength of her husband who followed to build the house. and mr SIMP strength is not up to that.
So you just settle in your provided position as child/simp and live under her command till you can use sense, run and build your own house.

ids4real:
If u are not satisfied with landlady rules go to court.

Kukuma just stay in court and contest every landlord around before you even rent the house.
Abi.
Save time for late argument by arguing with yourself first.
