ironheart: it makes working on project easy most especially when you don't have someone to give you free cash.
Also when i take loan, i become stingy and focused. No giving out free money or spending unnecessarily. It makes me disciplined in spending on meaningful projects Thanks for explaining Your username really checks out! What do you do when - God forbid - the project doesn't generate enough revenue to pay back the loan? |

I fail to understand.
Damning reports have emerged regarding Enyimba FC, led by Kanu Nwankwo, as a player reportedly injured during training has been asked to cover the cost of his surgery.
Enyimba FC, in the two years under Kanu Nwankwo, has appeared to become an unrecognisable version of the club

ironheart: Seems the CBN of Nigeria doe not moderate these loan app. Here they rip off customers and now i know why it is difficult for customers to repay there loans
My Recommendation
Avoid taking this loan. Paying over half a million Naira just to borrow ₦800,000 for six months is an unsustainable financial burden. If you require funding, prioritize exploring low-interest options such as a salary advance from your traditional commercial bank or personal loans from traditional community microfinance banks. Thanks for your expert analysis Yes, these terms can seem high. But then again, these loan apps literally cash in on consumers due to their ease of processing and speed. Sadly, the traditional options you recommend often seem to be trapped in 1990s thinking, demanding all sorts of ridiculous KYC requirements. Like you, I do NOT recommend loan apps. BUT I also know of people who are able to fund projects by smart use of these loan apps. These people would never have been able to do so if they had gone the traditional route. In summary, the traditional funding options need to step up their game Thanks again for sharing P.S. You forgot to mention JV/partnership options as alternatives to loans. Partnership with the right person can be more profitable, with less headaches. |

Culture › Re: Why Portrait Photography Of Elderly Nigerians Matters by werisetogether(m): 5:39pm On Oct 25 |
hellotboss: A beautiful portrait captures a face. A meaningful portrait preserves a story.
There is something extraordinary about photographing an elderly person.
It is not simply about the wrinkles, the grey hair or the years they have lived. It is about the wisdom behind their smiles, the experiences reflected in their expressions and the generations of stories they carry.
In Nigeria, we celebrate birthdays, weddings, graduations and other milestones with beautiful photographs. But how often do we intentionally document our parents and grandparents while we still have the opportunity?
This is one conversation worth having.
The Beauty of Age Through Portrait Photography
These portraits, captured by TBoss Photography, a female-led photography brand based in Ibadan, Nigeria, reflect an approach to photography that goes beyond appearance.
Dressed in a beautiful combination of emerald green and soft green tones, the subject radiates warmth, elegance and confidence against a rich golden-brown background.
Her laughter feels spontaneous. Her smile is full of life. Her expressions communicate a personality that deserves to be celebrated.
The beauty of these photographs is not merely in the lighting, styling or composition.
It is in the person being photographed.
The photographs remind us that growing older does not diminish beauty. Age brings a different kind of presence, character and expression that deserves thoughtful representation.
Why Every Nigerian Family Should Invest in Generational Portraits
Many families have hundreds of photographs of their children but very few professionally created portraits of their parents and grandparents.
Yet these are the photographs that may become priceless in years to come.
Imagine having a beautifully preserved portrait of your grandmother, accompanied by her name, her stories and the memories she wishes to pass down.
Imagine your children and grandchildren being able to recognise the faces of the people who helped shape their family.
That is the value of **preserving family legacy through photography**.
A family portrait is more than decoration for the living room. It can become part of a family's history.
The Art of Photographing Elderly People
As a portrait photographer in Ibadan, creating meaningful images of older adults requires a thoughtful approach.
Comfort comes first.
The subject should feel relaxed, respected and free to express their personality. Posing should be gentle and natural, while the lighting should complement the person's features without erasing the character of their face.
In this portrait series, the warm golden background creates a beautiful contrast with the green outfit, while soft lighting highlights the subject's expression and natural skin texture.
The result is a collection of portraits that feel elegant, joyful and timeless.
The objective is not to make an elderly person appear decades younger.
It is to celebrate who they are today.
Preserving Legacy: Documenting the Faces That Built Us
At TBoss Photography, this philosophy extends beyond commercial portrait sessions.
Through ourPreserving Legacy initiative, we are passionate about documenting elderly Nigerians, particularly individuals aged 80 and above, through portraiture and storytelling.
Our approach combines intentional lighting, thoughtful creative direction and an appreciation for the people and stories behind every photograph.
We believe that photographs should not only look beautiful today. They should remain meaningful years from now.
Because one day, the photographs we take today may become the stories our children hold on to.
A Question for Nairaland Readers
When was the last time your parents or grandparents had a beautiful professional portrait taken?
And if you could preserve just one photograph of an elderly family member for future generations, what would you want that photograph to communicate?
Let's discuss.

Portraits are not just photographs. They are pieces of history. Thanks for sharing. Since you're good at capturing lasting stories for future generations... Do you ever have clients who need more visibility through published news stories, or is that outside what you handle |
Business › Re: Help! Two of my Key Staff Members Are Dating, What Should I Do? by werisetogether(m): 5:33pm On Oct 25*. Modified: 6:17pm On Oct 25 |
moscobabs: The lady is an IT student while the Guy is a University student who's just an adhoc staff that comes around during his school vacations.
These two lovers are my best staff that even have the company Banking passwords with them , I take the lady as my Secretary and PA and I trust her so much because shes hardworking. I have caught them before touching each other in the office, I just pretend I didn't see them. But in August when the Guy came around, I observe some distractions from the hardworking lady which eventually affect the company productivity for that month.
I called her to order and asked if anything is between her and the Guy but she denied and said they are just friends then I narrated all I saw and she promised to control herself. I made some investigation about them and I eventually discover they were actually dating. I confronted her again but now with facts then she told me again that shes going to control herself.
Dating themselves is not my problem but displaying of affection which made other staff members to notice and if care is not taking others can start doing the same and the office will become something else while my business will suffer for their actions, they can even connive to defraud the company because I give them full control of the company.
I have warmed this lady to stop displaying affection in office but I dont think shes ready to change. E.g few days ago, she placed the company phone on the guy's arm while calling customers,something when the guy is sitting directly to her, she will zip down her jean and displaying her pant and waist beads.
She's now bringing food for him every week and even hand it over to him openly.
I dont know what to do again, reason I dont want to talk to the boy yet is because is a son of my fellow landlord in my community and I dont want to stop him from coming to office because he's been working with me long before this girl joined.
Please Nairalanders, how can I go about this issue, how I wan tell people that I sack an IT student who just joined 6 months ago. The Boy is 23 while the Lady is 20.
Thank you. Thanks for sharing But the first part that leaped out at me was the banking passwords No vex, but can you first change the passwords while you're trying to untangle this? Also look for ways to streamline your workflow in case you may need to make some sudden changes Both individuals are adults (even though displaying underwear and waist beads in the office may not be appropriate) In all, try not to make any overly emotional decisions Hope this helps... |
