I was in an oil firm for 8 years, chevron to be precise between 2010 and 2019
Nigeria happened to us and 18 of us were laid off for no reason
I built 2 houses for my family
After I lost my job I went back to the house I built for family
Fast forward to few years ago I left Christianity and chose islam
My family pushed me out of my own house simply because I built it for family
They denied me access to my 2 houses
I left heartbroken
started all over and I now i am a remote worker for both UK and US companies
Life can always start all over even at 50 bro
Don't give up
If Nigeria was REALLY serious about taking a quantum leap in football development, the government should be having a state level discussion with this man.
AbdulSamad Rabiu, the founder of BUA Cement, on why Nigerian Cement Companies export cement to other countries despite excess demand in Nigeria.
He says it's easy to transport his cement to Niamey in Niger than to Kano. The roads are much better in Niger.
The distance is less, price is the same and he gets paid in dollars.
So it's a no brainer.

No Terrorism in SW!
Omo! People are suffering and businesses are collapsing.
Like a month ago, my Indomie plug told me he wanted us to talk about how his business was tangling. Unfortunately, I couldn't meet up with him because of my commitments. About two weeks later, I went to his joint, only to find the place locked. His neighbor told me it had been three days since he last opened.
I instantly felt bad because it looked like I failed him, and the business had finally collapsed. 🥹
Well, I told the neighbor to let him know I came whenever he saw him. Fast forward to about 10 days later, this night I was told someone came looking for me. When I stepped outside, I saw it was him with another guy.
Omo, come and see how he don lose weight. No be the biggy wey I know before.
To cut it short, he begged me to help him with a loan so he could revive his Indomie and shayi business. You won't even believe it's just ₦70k he needs to get back on his feet. Imagine how lacking just ₦70k has made him look darker and thinner and his business stagnant.
After I agreed to give him the money as soon as I receive my salary later this week, I asked for his phone number so I could call him when the money was ready.
Guys... the man no even get phone again. He don sell am chop food. 😂💔
Please oh, yahoo boys in the house.. (a.k.a thieves).. how do you people do it? I mean your conscience..
Yesterday, I made a 50k transfer to a POS man. I did this on my way to get some things as I didn't have my card with me.
I received an alert later in the evening, and the balance wasn't corresponding. It was 50k higher than what I expected to have left in the account. Curious, I checked immediately and realised the 50k I earlier sent to that POS man either didn't go through, or was reversed. The man didn't even bother to check if it dropped before I left. Probably because I was already in a cab. He also had a few customers he was attending to.
I quickly hailed a bike as I stepped out, straight to his stand. He had closed for the day.
I was restless within me. You know why? He would go home, and find out he's short of 50k. He would not be happy, he would feel pained. He's a family man, he has kids he needs to feed.. he might be thinking he had lost the money. I thought of every possible emotions that man may feel over the night. I was sad for him, but happy because I knew I will get back to him by morning.
This morning, I headed to his POS stand again. He was there. He didn't even recognise me. I had to explain that I was the lady in a cab that withdrew 50k yesterday. And that the money was reversed or something. This man almost had my head with his "thank you". He kept saying.. "thank you madam, God bless you." I transferred to him and was almost on my way. He stopped me and asked "why?".
Why what?... I don't understand. It's your money.
Two men were there when this happened. One of them told the man that he was lucky, the other one said "all these one na show, if I see bombing bomb now.. everywhere go stew". I immediately knew he was an "upcoming" thief (yahoo boy).
The man kept lamenting about how much he had lost on that stand. But he keeps pushing because he has a family to take care of.
He asked me to come to his stand at anytime I probably need "help". That, he will never forget my face.
On my way, I kept pondering and asking myself how we got here. When has it become something to celebrate, that someone returns to return YOUR OWN MONEY!
If you can take something that doesn't belong to you, and be comfortable, you're no longer a human. The devil is your apprentice.
Yahoo boys, I don't like you people at all because I don't like wicked people. If you're following me, please unfollow me now and block me.
T for thanks!!!
I came across what appeared to be a suspicious fuel-loading activity while refuelling at AA Rano on the outskirts of Kano. More than 100 jerrycans, each with a capacity of 50 litres, were being filled and loaded into this white vehicle.
Shame on our govt, this is a market in Kano where most of shops are now using solar power.
In the next few years Disco may be begging for customers, but why should anyone move to Discos that are unstable and with very expensive service
