frankoben:
Smiling in my pictures has never epped henceforth I have decided to make changes

LOL

Apart from the initial comments, love to hear your update (maybe 6 months later) on how this experiment turns out

So you think people relate with you based on whether you smile or not in pics?

Stephen0mozzy:
The rural one may have more convenience, but the most you may get from it is a wife 😁🤭.

LOL

Now this got me laughing

But seriously, @Duke007, where is your brother's mind leaning towards out of both options?

Why not start from there?

Because you want to avoid a case where it seems you're spoon-feeding him.

Or worst case scenario, if things don't pan out well, you become the scapegoat "No be you recommend this option again?"

Edu3Again:
Many people mistake Chukwu Okike Abiama for being the God of the bible, its NOT!
Chukwu Okike Abiama is NOT God the Father ie ChukwuNna.
That's why Chukwu Okike Abiama is only associated with IPOB.

Do you know of any Igbo Bible that translates GOD as Chukwu okike abiama?

googi:
I visited a Nigerian restaurant in Canada and I was charged over 35,000 naira for just a plate of Jollof rice!

Who can I tell at home, certainly not my wife.

Interesting

Did the restaurant actually bill you in Naira?

zoghys:
It's plainly silly when you rely on court of public opinion to judge your grievances. If you know your claims are genuine and you're not part of a fraudulent group yourself, report the case to EFCC and they would take it up rather than this below the belt defamation of character.

Thanks for your input

Yes, crimes should be reported to the appropriate authorities

@Akwolu2415

If EFCC has a Nairaland account, you can tag them

born4great:
“What useful problem can I learn to solve?”

Interesting question.

But how do you decide on whether a problem is useful or not?

@nawegigs

Thanks for sharing

You're right: people are more concerned with how you can help them.

Not necessarily job titles

Just a few hours ago, someone was going on about his degree in Marketing.

And it wasn't exactly clear HOW he could actually help out in my project. He seemed to be talking to himself.

Thanks again

“If you do what I teach, you will be a millionaire in 90 days, if not shorter. If you do what I teach, you will cross billions in six months”

If he actually said that, then he was probably promoting some snake-oil business venture

Nothing wrong with motivational speakers coming clean to plug their services

It's another thing altogether to pretend that such messages represent the Lord Jesus Christ

P.S. Asking fellow Nigerians to watch the FULL message is a bit insensitive, considering the high cost of data...

Ogoro2022:
Please, I am urgently seeking a job opportunity to avoid depression.... Thank you.

Thanks for sharing

Have you looked into some of the job listings here on Nairaland?

Also what other projects can you get involved with in your spare time?

Who knows, some unexpected opportunities can come up from there...

TunezMediaTV:
The young actress took to her official Facebook page, KamDebbieTv, to share several photos from the production, including a rather interesting photo of herself posing alongside Nollywood legend Chinedu Ikedieze, popularly known as Pawpaw.

budaatum:
Tony overreacted. And worse, showed his nature thinking he is above others, which he is in this instant, but doesn't need to brand about

How did Mr Elumelu show "his nature thinking he is above others"?

Felt he handled it calmly enough

In my experience, there are some elderly white guys - even older than my dad - who INSIST on me addressing them by first name.

With no "Sir". No "Mr"

But those are of a different culture.

Based on my African culture, my mouth dey heavy me even as I do that sef...

Thanks for sharing your offer

You can also look into possible trades and collabs with other creatives who may need your services.

Particularly skill for skill trades. Can help you grow your network of partners and bring on more cash deals down the road

If you want tips on setting up trades like this, I wrote a short free guide on growing personal and business projects using skills instead of cash.

HacheNoire:
If a famous pastor and Imam should wash his feet in a bowl, 8 out of 10 Nigerians will drink it.

Very few question or ponder about religious practices. They are auto dedicated to whatever comes with it. and same will accuse you of idolatry you did same outside their religion.

Thanks for your response.

Using your example, does the Bible tell us to drink the water from washed pastors' feet?

By the way, con men have been around for a long time. Even in the time of Christ's apostles. (The real apostles, not the ones using "apostle" today kinda like a chieftaincy title)

You also mentioned Idolatry.

Idolatry is a HUMAN problem, not a racial one. And it's not right. No matter who does it.

Your first post cited the powerful wise words of Bob Marley.

Here's my point:

A mind that refuses to take up the responsibility to do its own research will be preyed upon by "easy" slogans and evil gimmicks.

HacheNoire:
Sincerely, I don’t even have a problem with their beliefs.

The problem I have with them is if Esu worshippers did same, the way they will come all out for the practice and call it demonic.

Colonialism and imperialism really conquered Africa! Not just conquering us to submissiveness, but it conquered our mind, body, soul and reasoning.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

But it's important to keep the boundaries clear on some terms like "colonialism".

Yes, the white man introduced the Bible to us. But that doesn't mean he wrote the Bible. Or that he is particularly persuaded on the contents of the Bible.

Blindly endorsing anything done in the name of "Christianity" is not even biblical, where we're told to test the spirits.

The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ has nothing to do with skulls.

Another example:

The white man brought the English language here. That's even the language we are using to communicate on this platform

But that doesn't mean that I must adopt British superstitious beliefs as part of the package.

True education comes when we are bold enough to do our own thinking.

Not just copy-and-paste.

Mary95:
Good evening.

I am shedding tears as i type and dont know what to do or who to run to.

Have you reached out to your family and friends?

Triton1996:
However, the bank executive immediately corrected her and asked to be called either TOE or Mr Elumelu..

Love how Mr Elumelu calmly addressed the issue

Also wondered what the apparently smart girl was hoping to achieve in the first place.

This one can't be blamed on Olodo uprising, can it?

@Dtruthspeaker

LOL

Pls how did you come up with the stats?

Just kiddin'

Sure, real estate development doesn't change the minds of people.

Because with all the record stats of religious attendance, fetish activities still thrive.

Actually spotted by a roadside in a popular city, red cloth and a broken calabash with assorted condiments.

In broad daylight

Couldn't believe my eyes

In 2026 AD...

Job clearly states within the US.

Probably for Nairalanders based in the US...

Melezenawii:

The love of President Tinubu has saved my belongings 😭❤️

But seriously, hope you got paid for this "advert"

Have you considered how it could portray the key person you admire?

Zonefree:
Stingy people... So nobody for there fit spray am money?

LOL

He probably stole the money they would have sprayed on him...

See Ekiti State governor lamenting about the poor performance of his data boys online .

Na wa o. So the keyboard warrior allegations are true after all?

Floxy4life:
Can AI be trusted to generate academic references? I tested 8 popular AI tools to find out which one produces the most reliable references — and the results were not what I expected

Thanks for sharing

AI tools make mistakes, and they even clearly say so. It helps to have some domain knowledge on any task you want to complete.

I've tested the same task on different tools and gotten very different results. If I'd just blindly copied and pasted, it could have been a mess.

That's why skills still matter, even in the age of AI

Evaress:
buT i need a job o. If u have legit offers let me know. Remote jobs

What skills are you good at? Any proof?

Also have you looked into opportunities around your local area? (Those ones would be also easier for you to verify yourself)

Evaress:
Thank God the amount was not too high. The guy was charging me 5k to get me added to an online job platform, i negotiated and he later accepted 2k. As if i knEw he will block me thats why i brought it down to 2k. I tried it and lo and behold he blocked me and ran off. Later we blame our leaders for the downfall in this country. I will post his name. All i wanted was just a remote job to do to earn a living. God knows i tried.

So sorry to hear of your experience

Love your positive attitude to keep your head up, in spite of losing N2000

Please don't give up on yourself.

As long as you know the value of the skills you offer, apply the lessons learned from this as you look for other opportunities

All the best

Sad end

From reports, he was even seen alive earlier in the day.

May GOD comfort his family and friends...

You can conduct a Google Reverse Search on the picture. The incident happened in 2012.

Think you missed the point I was making

Davido should be grateful the lady only showed this aspect of him...

@USA1975

Thanks for sharing

Your research skills are quite impressive

Just curious: are you on the paid ChatGPT plan?

We still place too much emphasis on memorising notes, passing exams and reproducing what the teacher said.

But the world has changed...

Please share this with parents, teachers, school owners, education officials and policymakers.

Thanks for sharing this

I think the Presidency has a handle here on Nairaland @presidency or something

Mods, please move this to the front page...

Saturnalia:
I remember when he carried a courtesan and the b.it.tch set him up by taking his picture unaware while he slept like a fvcking menstruating duck..

Davido would probably say the pic was AI-generated

Thankfully, the lady didn't show him in a more compromising position...

Let's try something here.

If you need help with something, post:

NEED:
OFFER:

For example:

NEED: Logo for my small business
OFFER: I can help with research

Or:

NEED: Help setting up a simple website
OFFER: I can edit videos

Your offer doesn't have to be the same type of service you need.

Let's see if anyone here can find a useful match...

I’ve been using a simple idea for projects that I either couldn't afford or didn't want to pay for:

Trade your skills instead of paying cash.

If you can write, design, code, market, edit, teach, research, or do other useful work, someone may need what you can do.

The basic idea:

You have something someone needs. They have something you need. Find a fair trade.

I made a short, free report showing how to use this idea to get more done when money is tight.

It may be useful if:

- You have projects you've been putting off because of the cost
- You need a skill you don't have
- You have a skill someone else might want
- You want to grow your network
- You'd rather trade than pay

The report is free and there is no email signup. Download it directly here

I'm also curious: what's one thing you've been putting off because you don't want to pay for it?
