Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Do You Regret Leaving Your Lucrative Nigerian Job For Abroad Menial Job by WithX(m): 4:18pm On Mar 27
obaidan:

WHile that is good, people with their level of skills abroad(US) are "SAVING" 3m every month after tending to all other needs that give them a very comfortable life.

That is a known fact. However, it also depends on some other factors such as the lifestyle and bills of the person involved.
One has to be prudent enough to save up to that on a monthly basis doing menial jobs.

Sir, if you are sure of your statistics you can go ahead and mention their roles and the
companies they work
. Working in a big or established companies don't guarantee you must earn very high. It's just packaging or showing off.. even during job interviews, the last question is usually how much you hope to earn and you cannot possibly tell your employee you wish to earn up to 200 and 500k a months and expect a call back. Even people who work in tech companies usually get there through internship which doesn't guarantee you much salary a month, they only work there for experience.

Earning anything close to 500k every month can guarantee you luxury lifestyle's and houses which you hardly see in Nigeria unless one is a business owner or entrepreneur. Oil companies abroad don't even pay more than $15k/ month for a start and that's excluding taxation and personal expenditures

I do not usually do this, but to answer your question, two of those people are my superior in one of my former job. The first was the country director and he earn 2.8m the second is serves as the head of testing and marketing he earn 1.4m
you may want to ask how i get to know these info as most company will not release such, I do because i work with them as a freelance accountant, I calculate and remit their PAYE to Kano state Internal revenue service (those guys too could not believe their eyes that that much tax is coming in on a monthly basis).

And your assumption that you can not dictate what you want for a potential employer, pls do away with that mindset. You as the employee have all the right to let the employer know your worth, It is left for them to accept your terms or reject.
Honestly at first I also have that mindset but later changed and always stand firm whenever I am in negotiation. Though I lost many opportunities because of my stance most of the time but anytime i got a call back I always feel appretiated.

Even a politician don't earn up to a million monthly and that is not even with an employee job. So shove up your lies begger

While I think he may exaggerate, there are many people here in Nigeria earning cool 7digits on monthly basis, there are even some in the region of over 2m on monthly basis though most are with multinationals.

I'll only respond to your last paragraph, even if I see jst one journal or research paper published on perternity fraud conducted by a Nigerian, why I go dey argue since morning... Na d research I dey ask for since, but eno dey, even if e dey then you have to conduct similar or compare your findings with other research done in other countries to come to dis conclusion .... See dis type of stuff ino even need to browse before I know it's false.... It's like saying [b]30% of Nigerians owned a private jet [/b]or its like saying Nigerian aviation sector has launched a rocket to the moon 30 times.... U see how outrageous dis last two statements sounds arbi?

Visagemedia:


Why so much hate and bile?

I guess you are not our target audience

Our target audience will enroll


That is what matters


Rather than taking it as hate, why not take it as a constructive criticism.

I know you attach such picture to show high student turnover, but in the context of a private university where one is expected to pay handsomely, it's only fair to see some state of the art facilities.

- Take a look at the Hall, its no different from where townhall meetings are held, even churches have upgraded using elevated seats (stadium type) that allows even the last person to see the speaker and the board.

Again, the projector placement is an afterthought, it ought to have been embedded in the building rather than placed on a table.

If you can just take down the picture of the crowded class in an archaic hall and replace with more beautiful pictures from the university.

Don't just look at it from the angle that those commenting are not your target audience, they will form an impression based on what they see and that can go a long way in marketing the school.

Business / Re: Nigeria Asks Binance To Disclose Top 100 Users, Executives Remain Detained by WithX(m): 7:48am On Mar 13
ogaontop:

You sound deluded bro, since Binance paused their services in Nigeria, what has happened to the economy? What has happened to Naira??
You're not intelligent at all, and your dunce counterparts are also hailing you!
The ruling class and the senators you defend are the ones sabotaging the economy not the common man on the street, or those in Binance. Imagine padding a whole country's budget with trillions and you're looking for sabotage in Binance.
Jokes apart, if they didn't get it right by the next few months, you will see naira at 2,000, and fuel at 1,000!


Are you seriously asking this question?
Can't you see the relative stability in rates.

Before the ban Naira was on a free fall, the rate was increasing with between 50-100 naira on a daily. Sometimes it even increases three times a day.

There has been a halt to those manipulations since the ban. One of the reasons its not coming down is you don't expect people who buy at 1800 naira to offload at 1600, they would rather hold on to it and wait for it to at least get to that mark before offsetting unless there is emergency need.

Let us be sincere, on the naira, its effective but on general price level nothing yet

The recent incident involving a 200-level student at Lead City University has sparked significant concern. The alleged theft of a mobile phone by a student leader raises questions about integrity and accountability among our peers. It's a reminder of the importance of upholding ethical standards and respecting others' property within our academic community.

Phones / Re: Why Spend Extra For A Gaming Phone When You Can get a Normal Phone + a Used PS4? by WithX(m): 8:22pm On Jan 29
Benjaminy:
I see people complain much about the gaming capabilities of a phone, even prioritising that aspect, in their decision towards getting a new phone. Infact, many spend thousands of extra Naira, to get a higher phone with a supposedly powerful processor that's suitable for gaming.

Then I keep on thinking. No Game on a mobile phone is actually worth it, compared to consoles. So, why don't people get a phone with processor which can help them do the basic things needed in a phone, then spend the extra cash on a used PS4 for a far more quality gaming experience?

The phone can go anywhere with you, and you can use it anytime plus you do not need to power your generator before you can play.

Compare to a PS4 which a used one is still close or more than the cost of the phone, you also need a TV set to play not to talk of fuelling your generator. plus you no fit carry am with you as you can your phone.

Go FTA way then, you will have no need for subscribing anymore.
Everyone will have what they want on FTA, it may not be premium (EPL is one or two game per week) but every one will dey alright.
Kids show, music channels, news, Nollywood, Hollywood, Blockbusters sometimes, series name it.

Just try to going for FTA its a one off cost and you will have no need to explain taya for anyone about how things aren't cool.

Besides all AFCON matches are being aired on FTA so you may not even need to go to Viewing center but rather sit at home with your family to enjoy the matches.

Angelfrost:


That was an unnecessary and unprofessional risk, especially when nothing was really at stake so early in the game.

If a player tries such in Guardiola or Ferguson's team, they will chop bench for the rest of the season.

Not if the team eventually won and especially if the match was a final.

That singular act is what seems to be the saving grace for Angola as they were more charged after the Red card which has led to two solid goals.

Who knows, the game could still have been a goaless draw, or that striker would have scored and Namibia will be a goal ahead without that event.

DeeGov123:
Pls how did they draw out the round of 16, before it used to be quarter final after group stages, how did they get the remaining 8 countries to join them. Can someone reply ASAP

Before, it used to be 16 teams (4groups) such that only the first and second from each group qualify for the quarter finals (8 teams).

However, this changed since last Afcon. 24teams now qualify to play in the qualification stage, the top two teams from each group qualifies automatically given 12teams then the remaining 4teams that make up the round of 16 stage are selected from the best third placed teams based on their performance (first by points and then by goal differences) in the group stage.

The ball was already out of line and the defender was raising her hand to signify that. The ball hit her hand and the ref calls for a penalty.

If the penalty had gone in, they would have robbed them because the ball was out of line before the cross undecided

Don't give up so soon bro.

That is why i said you should find a niche, you can target one rich residential area. If one of them buy into the idea, others will likely follow suit as the idea takes one chore off their list.

As a strategy, you can produce one and give our for free, if others se it they will most likely ask for contact.

Waste management is very important.

My final year project was based on waste management.

Design and construction of a solar powered automatic waste bin with an SMS alert system.

When the waste bin is full, the system locks itself and displays the level of the wastebin on the LCD screen attached to the waste bin, preventing anyone from dumping in it. This waste bin also alerts waste management authorities by sending an SMS alert with its location of the bin to waste management authorities from time to time.


This is a very good project bro.
Why don't you commercialize it? You can actually make some dough from it selling to a targeted market segment.

You should also think toward improving the design,
It would be appealing if the solar panel can be integrated to the bin body (the top maybe) rather than be a separate unit which leaves the fear od someone stealing it.

I urge to restart writing again, but this time, try and write about what is in demand eg. scarce IT guides and tutorials, you must not write a 50 page book to make money, a small but concise write-up is enough. Then on how to monetize your book do online or even radio adverts.
Finally for you to get job on LinkedIn, you must standout, you must know alot about your field, let me give you one secret: If you can make yourself important offline then your LinkedIn profile will be contacted for jobs even without you applying for one. Let me break the word "make yourself important" down. Now for you to be important to numerous employers you must have either one or even two of these qualities
1. You are a threat to their business or organization. (One example of this is a young man called John Wu. This Chinese developed a free and open source Android application called "Magisk", this application can be used to root any Android device without any form of detection. Normally if you root an Android device some apps will detect the rooted device and they will automatically stop working and exit. So after seeing the ability of this young man Google Inc., the makers of Android employed him in 2021.)
2. You are well known or you just attained stardom in your field (One example of this is a UK young man called Marcus Hutchins, he stopped the Hushpuppi ransomware called WannaCry. I am confident to tell you that he works for multiple companies and even UK secret intelligence service GCHQ.)

In as much as i enjoy and appetite your analogy, i must say the examples given are far fetched and unrealistic,
The person in question is a Chemistry Edu, are you implying that he should develop an atomic bomb for him to be seen as a treat grin
or he should rather develop a vaccine for the next pandemic shocked

In all its good to have a skill that makes one stand out.
