Nigeria 🇳🇬 will be great in our lifetime,
Whether the evil ones like it or not.

God bless our darling nation.

God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬 🙏 ❤️

Hello Mr. Mannabbq, I sent you a mail, can you help to reply?

DaddyGngeess:
Happy new year in advance to all

Happy New Year Sir,

I sent another reply mail to you Sir, but you haven’t responded. Please 🙏

DrAda:



This makes it worse. You are there and working with information you have conceived to be significant.

Madam, you're irredeemable, probably one who loves to argue blindly.

Take care of yourself and bye 👋

DrAda:



Funny. The same Asians/Caucasians that you have placed so highly on a pedastal are notorious for extreme plastic surgeries and body tans all done in a bid to look like Africans or worse animated dolls.

The world is such a big place with so many cultures and ideals. Learn to be open-minded

I'm in an Asian country as we speak now, been here for almost 2 years. I've not seen a single one of them on plastic surgery or body tans as you stated above.

Speak with facts cus you might be talking to someone more exposed than you.

Not every race is crazy for physical body fakeness. If there be any in Asian - my case study, they won't be more than 0.00000001% of their population. How insignificant?

And open mindedness doesn't mean we should consume everything we see in the course of exploring the world.

DrAda:


Now that you are here, let's talk about all things "fake". There are literally tons of fake products around the world ranging from hairs down to the food that we eat, and the medicine that we take.

If you think critically about this, the one product that is the least invasive or simply put, the one item with the smallest potential to alter a human's body is your current passion - wigs. Every other fake item has that propensity to literally make you sicker.

Wigs are used to promote beauty at least to the wearer. It is safe and poses no danger to the human body. Interestingly, people also use it to address several health concerns, like the lady here who need it for her alopecia or my cancer patients who need it because the drugs have stopped their hair from growing. Wigs are literally the safest "fake" item to exist. Why don't you understand that as a woman? Or at least accept that there are more than one way to be beautiful?

Your passion invokes yet another way for women to hate their body flaws and it is just sad. Again I wish you well in your quest to get this ball rolling in Nigeria. You will need it.

African woman, Go back to your root!

Embrace what God has given you as hair.

Take care of it.

Train yourself, your fellow women, your daughters, your unborn generations that their African Afro hair that grows naturally from their scalp is the best.

Teach them how to take proper care of it.

Think outside the box, research and develop things that would solve your difficult hair problems.

If an African woman suffers hair loss (alopecia), she can wear wigs that imitate her originality.

These are what the Asian and Caucasian women do. You can never find them wearing Afro looking wigs.

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.

Stop finding and giving excuses.

A word is enough for the wise.

Bye 👋

Finally I get to see a reasonable and proud African woman
My dear if you go to some Asian forums and see the way African woman are ridiculed you will wonder if our women are not ashame of themselves
From skin to hair our women should stop this inferiority complex

I see these too a lot and it saddens my heart. Aside making fun and ridiculing the African wig wearers, they still sell their nonsense to us at extremely high costs and we aren't even sensitive enough or thoughtful.

God help us.

Oluchia:


You are absolutely right. I have natural hair and maintaining it is not beans. It is easier said than done. My natural hair is unusually softer and fuller which is why I am still able to wear it after all these years (this is about 8 years). I can easily pack and comb it and I don't have to spend so much grooming it. A lot of women are not that lucky, if you know what people spend to maintain their natural hair, it is financially draining. I have a lot of friends who went from natural back to either low cut or relaxing because they just could not cope with the demands. Well, whatever rocks the OP's boat.

Dear, read the first part of the tread.

It states that research/manufacture will be encouraged and sponsored. Simply put "if there are people that will research on products that will help solve most problems, it would be encouraged and assisted manifest.

All these things are problems that would be raised and solved as they come. Not a one day thing.

Anguel:
In fact, when I get rich, I’d like to start a

Until u get rich 1st?.... Wishing you the very best 🙏

Sure. Money is needed to run such movement. One has to have a good source of income.

DrAda:


And why stop at natural hair? The op should expand his inspiration to incoporate natural face, nails, skin, body, food and childbirth. The op has good intentions no doubt. But he didnt think this through, as is the case most times when men think they know women.

Why stop at natural hair? Why don't you take up from where I stopped?

If my inspiration is natural hair, you as a person can continue on the other topics.

I stated earlier and still saying again, I'm a proper woman. If you're not convinced, I simply don't know.

What is there to over-'think through' about the topic? If the movement ever happen to be, during its course, many issues would be raised and flogged, except you want it to be dead on arrival because you're too immersed in wigs.

Jeon:

What a joke.
Those people are the real definition of attachments. You can also check their Men out.

Oh! You mean to tell me that the hair on their head, that I see everyday here with my korokoro eyes, springing out of their scalps is attachment?

essienvictore:
Smart moves, this is a great way to minimise cost in 2024.

Not just minimise cost, we need a lifetime reorientation about hair beauty.

The Asian women don't spend exorbitantly on their hair like the African women do.

transient123:


I do prefer silence when I see submissions showing some thought-set that are very asymmetrical and has no comparison with raised issues or substance,but, I decide to give this a response perhaps it will be of help to others.

Nawaaaao, how can you even compare a cap with hair, maybe there are now caps in the form of hair which I don't even know or heard off that people even mistaken as hair and not cap. For the cologne, it must be a thing that surely changes the outlook of the wearer right? Perhaps cologne are something like another skin pad to conceal ones skin texture or colour I guess and not perfume like??

Thank you for this. Now you see that people's thought processes are different and majority of Africans are not deep thinkers

Ohislee:


It is actually her business and it affects all we blacks.

At the end of the day, we all get stereotyped because of our choices and behaviour as a people.

When the insults come, it will not limited to KaptainRobin alone: Nobody would say KaptainRobin has low self-esteem because of her preference for fake hair, it would be all black women have low self-esteem because of their preference for fake hair.

Thank you for the clarity. I hope he/she thinks deep enough to realise it's our racial business.

VinnyBaba:


See you. 😏😏

Manna, that I noticed a long time ago is intellectually capable of written this. He no be small pikin.

post=127666990:


The government know what to do to help these businesses to grow.
They need to do something to keep them afloat.

But in some cases though,
The internal staff ran this businesses down with looting and stealing.
Many indigenous companies have been ran down by the staff they employ.
A good example below....


Nigerians are the problems of Nigeria.......for real!

Greed and Dishonesty, the two main problems of an average Nigerian.
Read along to understand our reasons for saying so......

(N.B : If you are a fraudster and criminal on Nairaland,
Skip to the next post or you may not survive reading this)

*HOME TRUTH*

[i]I run a manufacturing business and a trading business.
The biggest challenge in my manufacturing business is not power, or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting honest staff.
Everyone we hire appears to be on a mission to steal as much as possible.
Inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced.
The worst part of it all is that all the fraud we've uncovered is not done by a single person, it's usually many staff who collude with each other, from production, to sales, to finance, even top management.
There was a year I overhauled management 3 times in a year.........
But me, I've found a solution sha, I now use Indian management.
So competent, so honest and so straightforward.
I thought they were expensive at first with all the visa fees, accommodation, house staff, but now that losses due to staff theft have been reduced to a minimum, and efficiency increased, the Indian management has turned out to be cheaper than the previous Nigerian management.
Now, all sensitive positions involving money go to Indians. Nigerians are only allowed in non-sensitive positions.
I used to criticize companies like Dangote Group that hire so many Indians when there are many unemployed Nigerians, but now, I understand their decision.

My biggest challenge in the trading business is the same, getting honest staff.
The form of trading occurs in the open market, and involves staff having access to huge sums of money running into a few millions.
I know how much I pay to security companies to provide escorts for the staff, not to prevent robbery, but to ensure that the staff go straight to the bank to deposit the money after the day's sales and not disappear with my money.
This money spent on security companies is even enough to be declared as profit.
We have to spend on CCTV, biometric scanners and other things that wouldn't be needed if staff weren't looking for the slightest opportunity to steal.

It got so bad at a point that my main criteria for employing staff was no longer competency but honesty.
At least, competency and skills can be learnt, but once you're dishonest, you're dishonest.

We always complain of the economy and how there are no jobs.
I know people abroad who would have loved to set up job creating businesses in Nigeria but they can't because they can't get any trustworthy person to run it.

I know people in Nigeria with so much money, they want to start factories and other job-creating businesses but they can't because they are occupied elsewhere and can't get any trustworthy person to run the business.
So instead of investing in the real sector and creating jobs, they'll just buy treasury bills,
while the thieves are shouting no jobs.

Many big businesses would have been born in Nigeria if we could engage in partnerships, but we cant because you can't trust anyone.
This is one advantage the Indians and Lebanese have over us in Nigeria.
They can pull resources together and do mega-business, unlike Nigerians that because only one person must do everything since we can't partner, end up with small, tiny businesses.

Start a poultry and they will be stealing your eggs. Some will even go ahead to be killing the chickens so that they'll be allowed to take them home.

Start an entertainment/viewing/game center and they'll be pocketing your money.
On the days you're around at the business, the money realized will be x10 of the money realized when you're not around.....
Because they're eating your money.

Lease out a vehicle to a driver to use and watch as he'll finish you.

Start a restaurant, the same thing will happen. More than half of the total food ingredients will end up in their personal kitchens.

Even ordinary provisions shop, they will find a way to steal.

You'll see them with that their evil, wicked saying "na where person dey work, na there e dey chop, na e make dem dey callam workchop/workshop"...... Just imagine, justifying theft at work.

And you'll see these people point their crooked fingers at politicians when they're not any different. I usually say the reason most Nigerians haven't stolen billions of government money, is simply lack of opportunity.

*On every level, Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria*.


If the truth wanna kill the online fraudsters and criminals we have on Nairaland,
you guys should better die now.
We will continue to hit your head as much as we can with the truth and be against your fraudulent lifestyle ALWAYS.
For all the scams you have scammed innocent people all over the world, and they end up committing suicide or becoming homeless, and y'all here thinking you are living large, kid you not, you will never enjoy that fraudulent money, it will lead you to your grave soonest. (You can keep hating honest, and hardworking members on this forum, but some of us will continue to kill you with the truth.)
Only if God doesn't exist.
Thieves, Barawos everywhere.



**********************************


GREED!!!

When we say we are our own problem they start grumbling.....

Okay listen to these examples:

1. You sell chicken and add over 40% profit ,you are happy forgetting that the person that bought the chicken sells tomatoes and pepper.

2. The tomatoes and pepper seller has to recover the excess she paid for the chicken, so she adds her own 42% profit margin.

3. Teacher will come and buy these 2 items with what? She has no other alternative than to increase lesson fees or school fees.

4. You will go and rent house from a landlord who has paid excess for cement, sand, chicken, tomatoes and pepper, lesson fees, how will he meet up if not by increasing his house rent by 60%.

And the circle continues, it is not about dollars, dollars is just an excuse, abi wetin concern garri, beans and yam with dollars.

The problem is you and I and our excessive greed.



Only a fraudster or criminal will be wailing about our above post.
We hope you ain't one of them kiddo?
If so, we understand your weeping about the honest truth.
No wonder you are your fellow children are always wailing and in serious pains reading our posts here.
The earlier, the better for you.
Advice from the elders



Sure we do get the good ones among the youths.


Only sane, honest and hardworking Nairalanders like you will definitely like our answers and comments,
Not the miserable fraudsters aka, children of hate, frustrations and perdition that abound here.
God bless your legit hustle man.
It will end in praise for you.[/i]

I couldn't agree less with the above. It is well. Honesty pays

Dear MOD, let's push this to front page to get more self awareness and knowledge sharing

Dear MOD, let's push this to front page to get more sensitization.

Modified: I am a woman who has also lived in an Asian country for 2 years and got really worried why these race of women don't put unnatural hair on, but black women die for their hair in imitation.

And the reality is, these Asian countries saw the black woman's craziness and thirst for their own hair and decided to milk us out. I'm talking billions of dollars on a yearly basis.

We need to reorient ourselves, African woman!

sonnie10:

Any business that you have to sleep at the site is not scaled. You have to develop a system that works just like you would. The mark of a good business owner is the ability to build a team that can deliver exactly what the clients want. Don’t be a business operator, be a business owner.
Scale your business such the process can be handled by ordinary people, and not just the extraordinary you.
No matter how strong and hard working you are, there is just so much you can do. Sleeping at the site shows you are confined to your natural ability, time and energy.
However, if you ever want to scale, develop a system that can process your input for profitable output. This can work for any kind of business.

Guy! As a start up business owner, in order to grow your new brand and expand, you have to give it your full attention and presence.

Before you “develop a system that works”, your 💯 must still be involved even if it includes sleeping at the factory before you figure out and build this system, no big business owner just jump into it. They all started small and simple

African/Nigerian women love hair attachments and wigs. I just don’t like putting on my head anything that is not growing naturally from my head.

These Asian women that we see their hair as the world’s standard of beauty carry their natural hair year in year out all through the seasons (winter/summer/spring/fall) taking care of their hairs with their locally made products and never feeling the need to wear wigs to “protect” their hairs during harsh seasons.

In fact, when I get rich, I’d like to start a movement/NGO to help African women emancipate themselves from mental slavery. Our natural Afro hair should be our standard of beauty.

We can research and locally produce hair care products and accessories. Grants would be given to researchers/manufacturers of Afro hair products.

Natural Afro hair stylists will be rewarded from time to time.

Schools and higher institutions will be visited often time to sensitise people/girls/women to embrace their Afro hair and be stylish with it.

There’d be a TV show/program where natural hair carriers would creatively style their hairs and earn like BBN, etc.

When would this start?

ednut1:
you cannot get a job easily on visit visa. There are plenty students/ pr holder on ground after same job, some unscrupulous agents are selling work permit for 20k dollars( can you afford that), getting a work permit does not mean you qualify for PR, if you don’t qualify for PR right now( via express entry) you wont magically qualify because you got work permit by miracle. To avoid being stranded this is not a wise move.

These are students who have legal papers to work finding it hard to get jobs, why will you on visit visa that will cost an employer time and money to process now get it
https://www.nairaland.com/4933819/living-canada-life-canadian-immigrant/693#127477861


Abike dabiri visited Canada recently many who came with visit visa are stranded in asylum shelters. The shelters are even full right now
https://dailytrust.com/dont-migrate-to-canada-without-proper-documentation-fg-warns-nigerians/

🤦🏾‍♀️ the person has applied already.

What if the person wants to set up a business that would also benefit Canadian citizens. Can the government allow, or how does it work?

After paying 10k pounds for COS care work. There were no jobs for them in the UK. Who do we blame here Agent or applicant

Hi Ednut,

I wanted to ask this question privately that’s why I’m quoting you on an old topic.

Please, what do you advice someone that wants to come to CA on a visiting visa, get an unskilled labour job to get a work permit, then apply for PR shortly after obtaining the work permit.

The person intends to also start a side hustle business alongside doing the job.

Me: public attention, 9-5 jobs, cooking……

What about you?

DaddyGngeess:






I don't want to say much but just to clear you abit, out of 100 Nigerians that traveled to Europe is only 1% that went with work visa, the rest is visiting visa when you get there you do as others are doing and u will succeed, i can tell you everything that is happening from down Portugal to up Luxembourg to the end of Greece this is my 26 years leaving in Europe though i am in Nigeria now

Please, where in Ogun can I do this for 50k?

TPound:


Please check the market value first.

Piece of advice...
if you see anyone lesser than 2m, it's either faulty or stolen

Thanks, I already got one

I’m looking to buy a Toyota Corolla, not older than 2005, auto, about 800k, if you have any, please message me:

Location: Lagos Ikorodu area.

It’s easier said than done but if I were you, I’d start to live like he died long time ago. Do my thing and involve only relatives that care about me. However, take into records all the lack of love you received from him so that when he brings up “this child doesn’t care about me his father” in the future, you can lay down the evidence of nonchalance he showed you when you needed him the most.

In a nutshell, give him a lengthy distance, let him be the one to run after you, if he doesn’t, bear in mind that you don’t have a father.

tyboss:


Don't be discouraged, although it is indeed frustrating, my brother @intercontineta has encouraged me and I have decided to wait a little while. We never know things might get better. As regarding refunds on the blocked account, I can actually request for a refund from the platform I used (EXPATRIO), but it will require me cancelling my visa appointment from the embassy and the embassy issuing me a letter as proof before I can request for a refund.

Thank you for your response. I won’t be discouraged anymore. But have you inquired if they’ve given visas to other students that applied after you?

Also, the Expatrio platform you used, did you pay with only official rate or you had to use black market rate to pay your €11,200?
