    1. I use BIAB on my nails. It has made my nails strong, long and healthy. I get a manicure every four weeks and have to cut my nails each time. I don’t use extensions. I live in the UK, so can’t comment on the cost.

    I'm not cut out for fashion design, baking and cooking.
    I would have loved wall painting but I'm scared the smell may trigger my asthma. Even acrylic nail chemical makes me gag.
    I wanted to learn Solar installation but I was told I had to have a credit in maths, that it involves calculations.
    Anyhoo, please any recommendations are really appreciated.

    1. I suggest you go and meet the solar installation people and discuss well with them. Sometimes people assume things. Go and meet them, maybe there is a solution the credit in maths score.
      I doubt all the people doing it have that credit in maths. 🤷

    2. 15:02.

      I was told BY the institute that offered training on solar installations that a credit on maths was compulsory.

      I'm sure they have their reasons why.

      And I certainly don't want to learn under one roadside shift.

      Thanks.

      So my dear just give it a try. There is no harm in try. But remember the demand for solar is high now so go for it.

    2. Laptop batteries differs,so is the price..

      You need to go to a store where batteries are sold,or contact those who deal in it,snap and send to them,or tell them the exact laptop model,that would help determine yours,and price can be quoted.

      Also note that there are brand new batteries(lesser in price) and also Tokunbo batteries(known as follow come,which is from used laptops but came with that laptop so very durable compared to brand new).

      Tokunbo batteries are almost twice or more the amount of brand new ones.

      Hope this helps.

    2. There is a real legit university that offers degree programs for free online. University of the People. If you are serious at least try for a used laptop from a legit reseller. A phone may lack some of the connectivity required to do online classes, live lectures and taking exams and tests. If money is an issue, seek for places giving away free laptops. I know some charities do this and other companies and orgs.

      The others that are listed are also legit places and also Google Academy

    1. You can use burnt charcoal in aluminium foil and place in the jollof rice or you make holes in your rice and increase the heat towards the end of using the rice.....

      To make badass Jollof rice.

      1. Once you heat your oil, warm your spices and aromatics that is add your sliced onions, bayleaves, blended ginger and garlic, white pepper powder, curry powder and thyme....Make sure you fry them for 5 minutes to flavour your oil.
      2. Use tomatoes, Tatashe, Shombo and peppers in this proportion (30:40:40)
      3. Use Gino Party jollof paste (Fry your tin tomatoes very well before you add your blended tomato mix and make sure you fry it very well.
      4. Use washed long grain rice (Please don't parboil your rice) make sure you wash it very well with warm water till it is clean.
      5. Make sure your protein stock is well seasoned and rich in taste so you don't have use a lot of maggi and salt....
      6. At the end of your cooking, add some cooking butter and margarine to add more flavour to your rice....
      7. Remember to cook on medium heat so that your rice can take all the ingredients...

  13. I'm out of job and busy doing nothing while time is going, I'm thinking of learning catering jobs, is it a good idea, is catering job lucrative, I've worked in a restaurant for more than eight years without acquiring any degree or skills, or is there any other lucrative skills I can learn?
    This coming 2025 I want to find something to do and at least acquire catering certificate or any good certificate.
    While learning it, can someone please tell me any business I can do to be supporting myself because I have a lot of responsibilities to do, I'm myself helper, so I can't afford to be idle, I have myself and my child to cater for while learning anything.

      If you want to learn catering,ask your self some basic question. Do you love cooking? Have you cooked or baked anything that people patronised that fetch you money? Because the important thing is to do somethinga that will bring money.

    5. Straight guy, I love cooking a lot, and I know how to cook very well, infact they always want me to cook staff food when I was working in a restaurant.
      I've not sold anything food or baked anything to sell before, but I believe everything has a starting.

    6. 18:36, then what are you waiting for? Follow cooking pages on IG and also on You Tube. Experiment with local and international dishes. You can set yourself apart by mastering international dishes or bringing a Najia flair to them. There is a lot of experimentation that you will have to do, so you have to practice your dishes at home and perfect them. You could secure a contract providing school lunches, healthy lunches for children and deliver. This would help those families who just cannot find time to deal with lunches, workplace lunches, religions events.

      Get your food handlers permit first! Believe it or not this is one industry where you do not have to secure any kind of credential before you get going. Just have your supplies, meaning pots, pans, utensils, fridge, seasonings and stove

    2. Had Dandruff early this year, the itching was crazy. I discovered it was from the edge control which was used to path and smoothen lines while braiding my hair. I stopped using it immediately. I was advised to use mega growth anti dandruff shampoo and leave in conditioner. It helped alot. Then regular washing of my hair. Find out what is causing the dandruff.

  20. Good afternoon.
    Please who has successfully bought things from Te.mu online shop and received it with free shipping in Nigeria (Lagos).
    I have been seeing their free shipping adverts everywhere, but I am afraid to order because I don't want to be asked to pay extra money later when the items arrive.
    And also like how long does the items take to get to Lagos when I order. Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes it's free,there is a limit they set over here and its same with so many other countries.

      Once you can reach that limit,for example if in Nigeria for today,the minimum order limit is #20000;and you buy things to that amount;you can then use that free shipping option(it would pop up while you are checking out after payment) and that's all.

      They can use Speedaf or any other logistics and those ones will deliver to your doorstep.

      Here in Europe,it's free delivery and returns,meaning even when you get the product and don't like it,you can return and they would receive it and either refund your money or you purchase another product.

      Hope this helps.

      There is no human right for you there,you are just an object,to be used,ridiculed and misused anyhow they feel fit,and you can't report to anybody there.

    6. Please I beg you do not consider this option. Even if you see someone living very well who claim to have worked there do not think it. Today you can sit and think in peace of how to change your life, you will never be able to sit and think in peace again if you go to such a place. The vast majority of ppl in Ar@b lands view Black bodies as being made for slavery and of no worth. There is minuscule protection under the law and no human rights. Those are not places you go to, especially as a woman. Many women are also raped repeatedly by the men in the households that they work in. That mean fathers and sons plus grandfather and uncles. No matter the religious purity that the household will display externally they have not collectively throughout that region shown themselves to be good people. Frying akara by the roadside is a 1000% a better option.

      Take your heart to God and pour out your needs and throw yourself on His mercies. He will lead you to a safe and prosperous destiny.

  23. When is the right age to tell a child that you and his father are divorced but just coparenting peacefully.
    He is going to be nine....going to secondary school next session.

    He so wants his dad to be around but he is always given excuses. Giving arrangements that makes me look stupid.

    He thinks work keeps his dad away from living with us.
    Will it affect is education and mental well being.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Choose a date and time when you are both free, emotionally stable, in a good mood so you can have this conversation with him....

      Use age appropriate words like ''I want to talk to you about something important. Your dad and I have decided not to be married anymore, but we both love you very much and will always be here for you''.........Let him know that it is not his fault however both of you will always be there and be ready to support him together....

      Be ready to answer questions but make them as clear as possible for him to understand but don't go into too much details of what led to your divorce...Validate his feeling by saying something like ''It’s okay to feel sad, confused, or even angry. Do you want to talk about how you feel?" Always maintain a positive attitude and outlook...

      All the best to you and your son....

      Delete
    2. Please just allow him to believe he is away because of work for now, i doubt he will understand what separation is now. You and the father should talk about how to handle the situation to avoid putting him in confusion till a good age when he can sense and understand better.

      Delete
    3. Both mother and father should be there when this information is disclosed. You can both decide ahead of time how much to disclose and what to say. He is at a good age to give this information. However, is he matured enough to handle the information? Will he be stressed out by it especially with the added stress of going to a new school? Do you have the means to secure counselling for him should he need it? Can he spend summers with his father and the rest of the year living with you?

      How he handles the information depends on who he is. If he is easily depressed and gives up easily then timing is essential. His father will have to spend good regular quality time with him so he feels his support. It seems like he adores his father and wants to have him around. He should have full access to call his dad whenever he wants. Most importantly, he should know the breakup has nothing to do with him and that sometimes adults just do not get along. But reassure him of both your love and support that will always be there.

  26. Good evening everyone, Martins or any bvs should please come to my rescue, concerning the sales of human wigs, my brother told me I shouldn't use my money to start the business so that it won't hold down my money, that I should go to trade fare instead, to meet the wholesalers to be sending catalogue of any available wigs to me, since I'm selling online, then when they order for it, I will just tell them to send it to the person after collecting money.
    Please can I do it while staying in Ibadan because I want to relocate to Ibadan for few months to learn skills.
    How do I locate the wholesalers in Trade Fare, please I will be very glad if my questions can be answered, thank you.

    1. Have you thought of going to trade fair?

      Delete
    2. Hi,Most of the wholesalers will steal your customers details and message them privately for better deals next time;and yes your customers all of a sudden will disappear because of course,everybody likes cheaper and good deals.

      So here is an advice,it starts with moving to Lagos,and yes what you want to do is known as DROP SHIPPING,but to be very successful in it,you need to control your own circle of customers and not leave them to the wholesalers.

      Now what does this mean,when you get orders,you go there and pick it up yourself,then use your own packaging to deliver the hair to your customer.

      That way,your supplier has no contact whatsoever with your target audience(your customers).

      You can only do this from Ibadan if you have a supplier with a fear of God,who would supply to your customers and also on time too(because they are wholesalers and don't have time for small small dispatch when it comes).

      So go to Trade fair market,when you are there ask for Abia Line and use your eye to do Christmas,walk around to as many shops with goods(hair) as possible then discuss with them for their contact and also if they can be helping to dropship when you get orders.

      Hope this helps you,and I wish you all the best.
