Gagare1:
So I have ed the aptitude test, oral interview, and done the medical test. But it has been over two months now and I am yet to hear from them. I am thinking of sending an email to the employer.

1) Is it okay to do that?
2) How long should I wait?
3) How long is the employment process in big organisations? It has been over five months since we started.

Let me guess the organisation

NAHCO?

They can easily bust the camps of ESN/IPOB. But bandit's camps are invincible.

Many of you talking about "own your own business, own your own business". If we all own our businesses, there will be no employees. All private school owners will have to teach by themselves and in most cases, they aren't professionals in that field. If we all sell snacks, how are we going to get buyers? If we all repair phones, that means we will all live to repair our own phones. If we are all fashion designers, then we will only be fashion deg our selves.

If we all do business, we don't need education. No need for primary - tertiary education. Let's all just start this business from the day we stopped crawling.

Let's not justify the wickedness of some Nigerian employers by telling our selves to go and establish our own businesses. Nigerian employers have to do better.

Our government have to do better too.

Bandits attacked a church in Owo, Ondo State and killed all of ST Francis Catholic Church, Owo.

Residents who saw the Bandits alleged that they are Fulani Herdsmen and were fully equipped with AK47 and Pump Action riffles.

As at the time of writing this report, none of the Bandits were arrested. They were reported to have carried out this attack calmly without rush and left the moment they confirmed that everyone in the auditorium were dead.

More details coming....

Yes in 2019 she wanted one girl killed, Jacinta was different though she was trying to live the LovePeddler life but you know how it is , prostitution is a trap once you go in you can never leave no matter how hard you try, Jacinta being a personal friend.was always confiding in me ,that's how I learned about Jennifer. Jenny was always a troubled sort, rolled with low life's ,killers and would do anything to get her way...
I always new it would end this way for Jennifer... Jenny is someone who if another girl insutls she can use a knife and slash the first face.. Jenny was brutal . It's likely this corper was. Involved in their prostitution ring otherwise nothing should have made their paths cross. This is a murder over money stolen or paid by a client . This is greed killkg or disagreement over sharing killing

What if Jennifer was having an affair with her man and her arrival to Abuja for NYSC infuriated Jennifer, hence, her reason to take her out?

victooman:
Please help advice me,

We both finished our NYSC service last year, luckily enough we started a POS business and as God will have it, we are both doing well, we both make a minimum of 5k at least on daily basis.

The main problem is that of recent she is talking about applying for her masters degree, l told her what is the essence of going for masters degree when the degree we obtain has not been any useful to us, why not expand this particular business, be financially stable before you start talking about masters, beside we need to build our self financially well if we have to settle down.

She told me that is her long time ambition and she is not expecting any money from me, she left my house this morning with anger.

Please Nairalanders, did l do anything wrong? What is the best way to handle this issue?

This your girlfriend should be around 20-25 years old. She never know as e dey go.

ProfAmaben:
True talk. Nigeria is in a precarious situation, it's citizens are relatively poor which implies that you cannot hike school fees to say 700k per session. If students don't pay that type of fee in 2022, how do they expect government to pay reasonable salaries to lecturers, buy lab equipments and so on.

Universities don't generate enough income to run itself, they rely on government to provide everything for them, it's really weird. Universities should be wholly sufficient and be a revenue generator for government not vice versa.

Corruption has destroyed the destiny of Nigeria, people just don't understand why this country keeps getting worse.

How much revenue does the government officials generate that they are earning heavily in salaries and allowances. Aside from the taxes we pay, what do they have to offer except corruption and wickedness?

Jestin:
Use the money to jakpa.

Best advice. Investing in Nigeria is risky. Just move to a better country.

Rape apologists coming for you. The will tell you how Nigerian politicians have raped Nigeria and nothing happened hence these criminals shouldn't be punished

The man should be castrated. What happens to the woman who ed the wicked act?

Even as he aged, his love for his trade and the trust people had in him did not wane. He continued with the business until 2010 when he was 95 years old.


Even after his children pressured him to retire, people continued to throng his house to deposit their daily contributions. This time he no longer went to them, they came to him. He had earned their trust.

As he served his clients so he did his God. He was the lay reader and treasurer for 30 years at the Ṣomolu Anglican Church he attended.

Though he lived a spartan life, he was well-to-do in his own right. He built his first house at No 10, Odunukan Street in Ijesa, and later sold it to the Deeper Life Ministry. He built another house at Olorunkemi, Owotutu Area, Bariga, Lagos.

There, he lived his last days. He died August 11, 2012, and was buried a month later at the Church of Nigeria Cathedral, Isonyin, Ijebu in Ogun State.

At first, clients approached him with skepticism, but all that soon changed after many testaments of his photographic memory gained traction. Those who dared argue with his impeccable off-the-cuff recollection of statistical details were awestruck when he opened his logbook.

He was a moving bank, ATM booth, chequebook — all in one. His brain worked like cloud.

Trust and integrity are the capital for the business he ran, and Sir Alphaeus was integrity personified. This attracted many clients to him who trusted, loved and respected him, making his boom.

In fact, legends suggested that not only did Sir Alphaeus pay back contributors the exact amount they were due, he also paid them back in the exact notes and coins they contributed.

They were mesmerised by this and he became the number one mobile banking choice for many traders in Sangross, Mile 12, Baba Olosha, Ojuwoye, Awolowo, Oyingbo, Olaleye and Shomolu markets, all in Lagos.

At a time, after one of his cars showed signs of wearing out and was no longer cost effective for his thrift collection trips, he sold off the car and bought a Raleigh bicycle. The bicycle gave him farther reach to areas which were hitherto inaccessible.

This again won him another star in the heart of people as they read that to mean he was an economically savvy businessman. That act ed as further ment for his business.

But it was not just for his business integrity that Alajo Somolu would become legendary. Practicing at a time computer or calculator was unknown, at least in the area, Sir Alphaeus stood out for his mental acuity. He could recall transactions, their dates and details without reference to any documents.

This unique trait endeared him to people, many of whom marvelled at his gift.

This gave prominence to the aphorism the Yoruba use in extolling the virtues of wisdom and intelligence in a person; “Ori ẹ pe bii ti Alajọ Ṣomolu, to fodidi ọọdun meta gbajo lai ko oruko ẹni kankan silẹ, ti ko si ṣowo san fenikeni” (meaning: you are as intelligent as Alajọ Ṣomolu, who collected thrift for three years, without writing down a single name, and never made a single mistake in paying back his customers)!

In 1950, he followed his uncle on a commercial trip to Cameroon. There, he learnt the ropes of thrift collection from a Cameroonian neighbour.

The special kind of microfinance banking Sir Alphaeus came to be popular for is an agelong practice in many Nigerian communities and marketplaces where clients contribute daily, weekly or monthly predetermined amounts to a thrift collector. The collector takes the first contribution as their own fee. The business is called ajọ in Yoruba, esusu in Igbo and akawo/adashe in Hausa.


After four years in Cameroon, Sir Alphaeus was ready to take his trade back home to Nigeria. He returned to Lagos to start his own thrift collection business called the Popular Daily Alajọ Ṣomolu. Not only did he safekeep the savings of individuals, he also offered loans to those he considered had proven integrity.

Tailor turned thrift collector

At 12, Sir Alphaeus moved to Lagos in 1927 where he was first enrolled at St. John’s School, Aroloya, and then at Christ Church Cathedral School, where he took his first school leaving certificate in 1934.

Two years later in 1936, he took up an apprenticeship role under a neighbourhood tailor named Rojaye. He would spend nine years under Rojaye’s tutelage.

His name was likened to success and smartness in the track “Alajọ Ṣomolu” by Afrobeat singer, Olawale Ashimi, popularly known as Brymo.


Before the advent of unicorn fintechs and banks, people entusted their savings with thrift collectors. One of them stood out in Lagos and the areas that now constitute the South West of Nigeria: Taiwo Olunaike Alphaeus.

But that name may not ring a bell until one says “Alajọ Ṣomolu”, literally meaning the thrift collector of Ṣomolu.

He had no computer knowledge, not to talk of using a balance sheet or running an excel file, but he was good with counting and keeping money.

His fame embodies honesty, faithfulness and the true Nigerian spirit of industry.

This explains why his name was likened to success and smartness in the track “Alajọ Ṣomolu” by Afrobeat singer, Olawale Ashimi, popularly known as Brymo.

Born on September 16, 1915 in Isonyin, a small town eight kilometres from Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State, Alphaeus, also called Sir Alphaeus, was one of the surviving duo of a triplet birth at a time multiple birth was a taboo because it was believed to bring misfortune to the land.

One of the triplets was sacrificed to the gods and anotherer died at infancy. Their father too died three years after their birth.

Baby Taiwo’s close shave with infanticide was rewarded with longevity as he lived for 96 years. Born a year after Britain amalgamated the northern and southern protectorates of Nigeria, he witnessed the country’s independence 45 years later and the 50th anniversary of independence in 2010.

Nigerian Women Empowerment Advocate, and Clergywoman, Pastor Funke- Felix Adejumo of Agape Ministry, has dropped another teachings on moving with those who are better than you in a group or as friends, and leave those who you are better than.

She plainly said that if you are the richest among your friends, that relationship has expired or you should quit it and move on.

She gave the example of Joseph in prison who moved with rich prisoners.

Buhari' has always been a bad workman who takes pleasure in blaming everybody else but himself for his failure's.

Foolish man

I dislike Buhari but I agree with him on this.

I bought 1 small bottle of five alive orange drink at the rate of #150 for my son in a nearby shop in my street in the morning and in the evening I stopped by at the street before mine to buy same drink and I was told it's #250.

A pack of Bigi Drinks and Pepsi still sells for 950 but they sell single bottles for #150. This means the manufacturer and distributor still sells to them at the normal price but the so called middle men decide on the pricing and that's why prices are not same.

Buhari's government is bad, but we the citizens not in government are the baddest.

Must reside in Lagos.

Must be fluent in English

Work 3 days in a week (From Home)

Salary is attractive.

Any gender can me.

Good day professionals. I have a 9yr old son who I think will fare well in either computer programming, software developer, software & hardware engineer or so.

I am just a regular computer who have zero knowledge on the aforementioned prospects. Pls, someone should tell me where to start from. I am more inclined to the software/hardware prospects

Is his age too small?
Do we have specialised learning centres that I can enrol him?

Thanks in advance

I'm a programmer. I can teach your son Scratch. That's where he should start from first at Hus age. If you're in Lagos, Chat me on WhatsApp: 07030964115

You get person for uk, why you no ask am??

Lol. You and others can't press my button. The button don spoil since.

I assumed this is a forum where people learn from. And I thought people's responses would go a long way in educating others who want to tow same path as me.

But since it was a bad idea, I rest my case.

Once again, you and those like you can't press my button.

ednut1:
i never said you are mr man. All this ya back and forth self looks suspect lol.

Okay. Maybe you should tell me what you mean by "my back and forth"

Obviously, most of you are not used to my kind of response.

The lashing kind of response is now a common place here.

ednut1:
any small thing they will say you are hating / negative. People hate to hear the truth.

Nobody messaged me. I am not the Employer.

If I wanted people to message me, I wouldn't have dropped the link to where I applied to.

Why are you having this impression?

If you are a Nigerian, then shame on you. You do not even trust your self.

firac:
you are a scammer looking for who to scam...

Okay sir.

Can you buttress your claim? With cogent points?

missyojo:
Mehennnnn!!!!
OP, your head dey there. I love the way you respond, very apt and matured.

Thanks ma.

God will not shame us!!

irijuola:
I don't have any idea about working in the UK or OP's job claim but I'll like to applaud the OP for his matured responses. Your response reeks of social intelligence which is uncommon in most Nigeria social media platforms. If you can be this composed in your responses, then I really wish you get the job.

See leave those people that haven't even touched the entrance of an airport claiming what they don't know.

And thanks for your wishes.

God bless

justwise:


Bro you don't in this particular issue and nothing you have said so far shows that you actually understand what we are saying.

I will travel to any part of the UK to personally apologise to you if you travel to the UK at the end and put on police uniform.

Saying that i'm jealous because you are about to the UK police force is just childish.

Okay sir. You can't discourage me though.
