The Federal Government on Tuesday charged property developers to reduce their rents and the value of properties in consideration of the economic hardship across the country.

According to the government, the values of properties and rents in other nations of the world are falling as a result of the global economic slowdown being experienced.

Speaking at the inauguration of board members of the Estate Surveyors and Valuers Registration Board of Nigeria in Abuja, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, said many houses in Nigeria were empty while a lot of people lacked accommodation.

He said, “For me, I think the most important message I’ll like to share at this inauguration is to pose the question on whether the current land valuation system and values are consistent with the reality of our economy. You as experts must answer that question because we have a very challenging economy.

Mumu government. What are they doing to alleviate accommodation problem ? How many houses have the government built ? Rather, they've sold all their properties.

;Dit's just the truth sir.....if naija was like China, igbos will hate the idea of biafra
And I tell people that if biafra is eventually created, it will be better than Nigeria. Tho the looting and other corruption practices will continue but it will surely be better. Nigerians, especially igbos, are natural hustlers. Give them light, good roads, education, security, food, good medical facilities, they will work their ass off even if the govt doesn't invest in their doings
I drop my iPad here.....hustle continues

I tend to agree with you but the major challenge would be Igbos who have investments in other parts of the country. For instance, we have Igbos in Lagos, Abuja, Kano etc. Should they live all what they've worked for ? That's the main thing we should consider.
A colleague was telling me that he prays Biafra succeeds. He said he will just locate one Igbo man's house and kill him.

there was this girl I loved some times ago. I really loved her, I could do anything for her. she treated me badly, ignoring my calls most time and when she picked it, it would be a nightmare. She was so arrogant, rude and unpleasant. there was a day she told me she couldn't date me because I was so broke. She slapped me and threw dirty water on my clothes. It got to me that day and I was very depressed. I moved on.. despite the whole ugly event.

I got a job in a big firm two years ago and I can say I'm comfortable now. she called asking for an assistance I think I'm capable of rendering. Should I help her out? please I need your sincere advice..

You're still asking whether to help her. Sometimes, I wonder if the stories in NL i hear are true. Cos if they're true, u know what to do.

Their sexual system is built in such a way that both males and females can satisfy them sexually without side effects.

Ladies are naturally bisexual if you look at it critically.

Quite a number of ladies have either kissed or smooched another lady b4. I had a lady friend who told me she had kissed another lady before. There's another one I met at Silverbird cinema years ago. She told me that she loves ladies a lot.

This guy has always been a coward, same way he did not show up when Dino Melaye arrived Bourdillon.


Anyway, being cowards is in their Ewedu DNA naturally.

Lolz. Funny.

puyol5:
We have seen on NL here. How so many HR managers/executive come to give advice on how to write a CV and prepare for an interview in order to get a job.

These same HR are the people who recruit employees based on subjective criteria such as man know man, Abuja connection, brown envelope, long leggism and other means of subjective recruitment.

Before I continue, sm NL members would say learn a skill and I ask them with which money? I have been to interviews and aptitude tests and I discovered that most start-ups recruit on merit at entry level because they don't pay well but most big firms don't employ on merit at entry level. The funniest thing, their special candidate attends the interview/test with other candidates that apply to fulfill all righteousness.

What's the hope of that women who sold Akara to send her child to school? What's the hope of that carpenter who sent his child to school?

Enough of the how to write CV seminars and start recruiting the right way. You even put 2 years experience for 3months internship role. If someone did not give you a chance to prove yourself would you be where you are today?

Before you come for me I am a social media marketer and a sports editor/writer. Even if you learn a skill you might be employed by someone also, not everyone who has a skill is an entrepreneur.

No more advise, do the right thing all HR Managers and officers.


Thank you

That's how Naija is. . Msy be u should start networking more. That could help. But there are still people getting jobs without knowing anybody.

The guy is an arrse. Is he trying to say that Igbos do not deserve to be treated fairly ? Is it every part of the country that must vote for a particular candidate ? This guy is a nitwit

importexpert:
In my previous article, I explained two businesses that you can engage in without spending a dime. When I wrote that article, I knew that lack of capital was one of the biggest stumbling blocks facing many Nigerians. The reactions and emails I got further solidified that fact.

Because it is still my desire to see Nigerians succeed, I have decided to once again explain three businesses you can start with from home with zero capital. Yes, you heard me; zero capital. Starting a business without capital is one of the incredible privileges that we have in the 21st century. Sadly, very few people know about this. Not to worry because you are about to leave that clique.

Business 1:

DropShipping:

This is one business that I rarely hear people talk about. This tells you it is relatively unknown. DropShipping is a type of online business whereby you operate as a store owner who receives orders for goods. However, in this case, you don’t get to have a store whereby you house the goods that you receive orders for. When you receive the orders, you can then make purchases from ecommerce stores like Alibaba or TradeKey or other stores (as applicable to your orders)

How it works

All you simply need to do is collect orders from your customers and give them a deadline that it will take for them to receive the goods based on the information from the third party. Then you may proceed to make the purchase from a third party and it is shipped to the customer directly. The third party handles everything from packaging to shipping. You do not get to pay for shipping fees as there is no need for you to even handle the goods.

Advantages

- Pressure from the business is low since you basically act like a middle man
- You can offer a wide range of products
- There is potential for high turn-over rate for hot products in the market
- There is almost no risk in the business
- You don’t have to worry about warehousing the products
- You are free from the handling, labeling and packaging

How to start

The first thing you need to do is identify good sellers. You have to look out at a number of factors like the duration for delivery, reviews from those who have used the sellers etc. Once you have verified this, you will need to know what kind of products you want to list as available for purchase by your customers. They have to be products that are in demand in the market. You also have to compare the prices of the products with what is available in the local market so you can know if you can offer a better price to your customers etc.

Business 2

Kindle Direct Publishing:

Do you enjoy writing? Then this is definitely for you. With Kindle, you can begin to publish your books. The good news about this is that your market is not restricted, it is global! You can always track the number of sales you make on each book that you publish

How it works:

When you register on the site, you are immediately eligible to commence publishing. The more the number of sales you are able to make, the more your income will increase. However, Amazon will deduct 30% of your earnings if you are not a US person or if you do not reside in countries with tax treaties with the US. You will get your earnings in US dollars 60 days after every month that you have made sales.

Advantages

- The market is global which means more chances to make sales
- Once you publish a book, you will continue earning royalties for life
- You can publish books at your own convenience or pace

How to start

Go to kdp dot amazon dot com and register. Once you have done this, you can start publishing your books. However, it is important that I state that Amazon frowns at plagiarism. They want fresh works. So, even if you do research for your books, learn to rewrite them using your own words to avoid troubles with them.

Business 3

Affiliate Marketing:

Over the last couple of weeks, I have explained the goldmine that is in affiliate marketing. What you probably don’t know is that anyone can engage in affiliate marketing, even an undergraduate and it is not time consuming. In brief, affiliate marketing is an online activity where you promote products and get paid a commission for every sale that is made through your promotion.

How it works:

Once you sign up to an affiliate program, you can then select the products that you want to market. It is important that you choose what the market needs (or what people will like to buy). Once a sale is made through you, you will get a percentage (commission) from it. How then do the companies know they made a sale through you? They know because once you sign up with the company as an affiliate marketer, you will be given a unique tracking link to use when promoting their products.

Advantages:

- You get to work at your own pace. i.e. you can determine when to work
- Unlike Fiverr where you only earn a pay for a specific work, with affiliate marketing, you can earn repeatedly from each time you work.
- Once you automate it, it can keep fetching you money without your attention for days.
- You get paid directly by the company, hence no delay
- It is less time consuming.

How to start

You sign up at an affiliate market place. There are a couple of them online such as Click Bank, Commission Junction, Share A Sale, Pay dot com etc. Once done, I will also advise that you focus on evergreen niches like health, wealth and Relationship etc. Evergreen niches are niches that regularly earn money.

In Conclusion, I maintain that there are several opportunities all around that are begging to be explored. You just have to identify them. And when you do, you have to conquer what has held many people back for years despite the knowledge they have. I am talking about procrastination. Start now!

A Chinese proverb says, “The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago. The second best time is NOW!” So, get to work now and enjoy later.

CDS is more of a coordinator of the 3 armed Forces whereas COAS is the sole coordinator of the ARMY...... In terms of rank CDS comes first cause he is a 4 star general while the rest are 3 star general.

Yeh, CDS should be higher. But in Buhari's government, anything can happen.

Sometimes, if you don't have anything intelligent to contribute, it is better you shut up.

It is easy now, to sit back in front of your shinning computer <br>2robably under the comfort of a roof over your head <br>an AC to condemn the actions some people took in the past in response to injustice been done against their kind.

They gave already killed 50,000 thousands <br>counting, how many more should be killed before a leader acts? 100,000? what about 500,000? Hitler dropped more than 11 million, is that the magic number?

Yes, people go to war with little ammunition or lack of preparedness. Your enemies don't give you advance notice or time to prepare, you just act. Yes, more people died as a result, but no body sits by why every loved he/she is murdered in cold blood, at some points something snaps inside you abr>you just have to do something.

During the America Revolution in the 19th century, they didn't have the superior fire power, infact if not for France, the uprising would have beef crunched <br>there would not have America.

There are different sides to a story. Some senior army officers from the East did not support the war. However it's good to fight for a good course. But it's wrong to send a 16 year old boy to war with only 5 bullets. Haba !!

GrandGarcon:
Another nonsense! We are not taking about all parts developing at the same rate, it is to punnish Biafrans that the country was set up like this, all the sea ports in Nigeria except the lagos one are not functional, where in the east or in the niger delta will you find a true international airport? In those countries, airports are built when you have the means, but in Nigeria it is based on politics. Abegi forget that thing.

I agree with you on this.
Just imagine if Port Harcourt port, Calabar and Akwa Ibom had equally functional sea ports as well as air ports.
Or if an international airport was also located in one of this places. Truth is, Lagos has been given priority over a long period of time.

daudayodeji1:
Oshey. This is actually true. But then hasn't the minister of health banned antimalarials monotherapy? Why didn't the nurse stick to artemether/lumefantrine which has lower incidence of side effects? And for that he or she may be held liable

Exactly !! These our medical professionals should be up to date. When last did I even taje fansidar. It has always been combination therapy. .
I wonder how many of our medical professionals keep informed.

Afam4eva:
The OP's grammar does not change anything. The family of the deceased have presented their own case whether or not it was beclouded by emotions. It's left for the hospital to present their own side of the story so that we can weight both. The writer in am attempt to play the devil's advocate, without knowing the patient or the nitty gritty of what happened has decided what was wrong and invariably killed the young woman. You must be a vision seeing doctor. In your bid to protect your fellow incompetent doctors and yourself, since you're probably a quack, instead of doing your investigations, you want to use english and medical grammar to bamboozle us. I can see some people are already saying "It's true sha, the woman should have.." Taa, keep quiet. If you don't know what happened keep quiet.

I sensed arrogance in his tone.

ShinyJay22:
It seemed to me as though i was in a dream cos i couldn't believe i was going to be in this kind of situation that sunday morning (30th of april 2017).

Some hours before then i had been keeping tabs on the boxing bout between A.j & Klitchko via nland with my infinix hot 2. Around 11pm after the bout i was feeling dizzy due to long hours of being wide awake, so i then decide to go to bed.

Meanwhile,my phone was at 50% charge at the time but due to the unpredictable nature of our guys (nepa or whatever the name they choose to call themselves) i decided to plug my device whilst i go to sleep (big mistake).

That was how i woke up on Sunday around 8am, after observing a lil meditation i decided to go for my phone. On picking it up first thing i observed was that my phone was switched off. That's when i sensed danger (because i didn't switch my phone off in the first place). I then tried to switch it on but it didn't come up but rather my screen backlight was flashing on and off in sync with the back cameras flash light.

I later checked my charger only to discover that it had blown overnight, that was when my worst fear was confirmed. I proceeded to check if it was a minor problem that could easily be fixed but i found out the power surge had damaged the phones panel therefore rendering it irreparable.

Thats my story nlanders. If anyone had told me i'd lose my device to overnight charging i would have laughed it off but that's where i'm at today.

Therefore, I decided to share my story with you guys so that you may learn from my error. Good day guys.

It has nothing to do with overnight charging. It's most likely the charger was faulty or the voltage supplied was not good for the fone.
