Lists of Jobs to start with 10,000 naira

Have you been wasting your little money searching for that dream job? have you been wasting your limited financial resources for endless interviews? please, waste no more, there are jobs you can do that can be very profitable to you, we have compiled a list of job that you can start with 10,000 naira, and if you set your strategy well, you can achieve a profit of 50,000 naira in 2 weeks. we have ranked these businesses from 10 to number one, they have been ranked according to their risk, profit potential, close monitoring and convenience, they are:

10) Phone call center: if you have a very good location, you can make 50,000 in two weeks making phone calls, all you need is a good location, the trick here is that you are looking for potential customers that means you will have to search for not only a busy location, but at a location your services are much needed, if you take your business to a market for instance, you will not make as much as you would if you take your business to a major bus-top, they are both busy (fine) but there are more potential customers at the bus-top than at the market, also, the profit is cool as you can make up to 10 naira on each 1 minute of a call, be wise and you will find yourself smiling to the bank in 2 weeks with about 50,000 or more…this business however, has been placed on the 10th position due to its high uncertainty and risk, also the rate of competition could be very discouraging (if you have large customers today, be sure there would be other phone call centers competing close to your location tomorrow)

9)Buying and selling of CDs: there is a huge prospective profit from this business and you will certainly be smiling home with a huge profit if done well, you can get a cd at the market (Alaba) for like N80 and you can sell a cd for like N150 naira, this is close to a 100 percent profit, with ten thousand naira you can buy up to 100 cds for N8000, if you initiate an aggressive selling approach, you can end up going back to the market to purchase more, by selling 100 CDs, you can make up to 7000 profit in 2 days, and 50000 in 2 weeks.the locaion is a major thing and you also have to monitor the business closely, and the risk associated with location has made it to be ranked 9th on our list

8)Pure water sales: this is an untapped resource for business minded people, though local, it has profit potentials, a bag of pure water costs 55 naira from the supplier, and it contains 20 satchets, you can be making up to N145 on each bag and if 11 bags go for 600 naira, 110 bags goes for N6000, you can make up to N16000 profit in 3 days, and more than N50,000 in 2 weeks, but the inconvenience is very high as you will be needing to go to busy places before you can make sales, its risks is also high as you will have to be in a compromised manner mostly.

7) Phone accessories:you can invest your 10,000 naira on phone accessories like earpiece, chargers, etc, you can be sure to be smiling home with profit. chargers costs like N120 and it is being sold for like 250-300 naira so you can make up to 110-160 naira on each charger sold, this means huge profit, you only need to find a good location and get yourself a wooden board, then you are on your way to making profits. the location has to be a busy location, and it has high risk of operating, that is why it has been ranked 7th

6)Fairly used cloths: you can buy fairly used cloths and sell at a busy location, from research we made we discovered that you can make up to N17000,-N18000, you can make up to 50000-60000 naira in 2 weeks.location is the name of the game here. the risk is a major disadvantage as you are expected to be a ta busy location, also you have to be closely monitoring the business because the business will need your presence.

5) Plantain chips: making plantain chips is a very profitable business, especially in a busy location, all you need is vegetable oil, stove and kerosene! if this business is done very well you can be well assure that you will be going home with a huge profit, this business is very convenient and also there is minor risk, as you can do this business at home and at a location near to you, with as low as 10,000 naira you can start u this business and make more than 50,000 naira in a week!

4)Kerosene sales: you can make much profit from the sales of kerosene, all you have to do is go to a filing station that is very close to you, buy your kerosene (like 50 liters at 120/liters) and sell domestically at 150/liter, you make up to 30 naira on each liter, some might buy many liters at once. the trick here is that you get a good domesticated location where you can make the utmost use of the location and you will enjoy convenience and at little risk too.

3)Food vendor: you can sell fast food at busy locations, food is a necessity so customers guaranteed, all you need is buy noodles, eggs, and have a regular supplier of bread, you should also include tea on your menu, get a nice location and you can be making cool bucks everyday,indomie (super pack) goes for N50 in the market, and you can be selling your cooked indomie for 100/1, with operating cost (cost of kerosene,pepper,etc) approximated at N15 per each noodles, that implies you will be making up to N35 per each noodles, an adult will eat from 2 noodles upwards,means you can be making up to N70 per each customer, keep that up and you can be making up to N4000 per day…easy!!!

2)Tie and Dye: this business is an untapped,profitable business in Nigeria, it requires you to get a white fabric, then you rinse the fabric in water and soap, then you tie an end of the fabric with an elastic band, then tie severally leaving some spaces in between (about an inch), you can tie as many as you like,put dye and salt in boiling water, then soak the fabric, you have yourself a lovely material (popularly known as adire among-st the yorubas), you can get white fabric for like N200 per yard,get for -5 yard piece (which costs like N1200) buy dye (like N250), your total cost will amount to (approximately) N1500, you might be able to sell the material for N2500 and make cool N1000 for each of the material you sell.

1) you guys are really gonna be surprised at our number 1, PALM OIL!!! you can make easy money from palm oil business at a very low price too, all you need is to have a good source (ebonyi state has the cheapest palm oil in Nigeria)get a wooden table, and you can be sure to be quite rich in a short while,if you invest N10,000 in palm oil you can be sure of getting 70,000 in less than 2 weeks (from our research) all you need is a good location. and of course, a good source (which we discovered is east or ondo state, but ebonyi state boast of the cheapest,finest palm oil) and you are on your way to riches, start small grow big, there you have it!!!

if you follow strategic procedures you will discover these businesses listed above are viable and will enable you to be on your path to riches, best of luck!!!

Reflection: Always count your blessings by Strive Masiyiwa

When my business was still very small, I once found myself facing a crushing cash flow crisis. My biggest concern was finding money to meet the payroll, and this one month, it just seemed impossible. 

Being a believer, I prayed every day for a miracle as the deadline drew closer. One morning, it came into my spirit to approach a very wealthy businessman whom I knew was also a man of faith, and would hopefully appreciate my situation. I went to his office, and said to him boldly that I believed God wanted him to help me. To my shock and disappointment, he turned me down flat. 

I left his office and continued to try and get the money. Eventually an old friend of mine who ran a bank called me out of the blue and helped me out with a small loan. He didn't even ask me for a guarantee, which surprised me. This same banker friend continued to extend to me little loans whenever I was in trouble, and he never asked for a guarantee of any kind.

Many, many years later, when I was much more successful, the banker friend of mine disclosed to me something very shocking:

The wealthy businessman whom I'd gone to see that morning called him after I left his office and told him to extend to me the loans, and not to tell me that he was the one who had assisted me by giving the guarantees.

I learnt two lessons from that experience:

# There is so much that can be accomplished in life, when people don't look for credit.

# Always count your blessings, because they are always there.

Just imagine if I'd railed against that guy as being greedy and selfish, simply because he didn't see things my way, or help in the manner I considered best. Perhaps he would have heard about it, and withdrawn his support. I would often bump into him and when he enquired about my progress, I would cheerfully proclaim my hope that things were going to be just fine, and he would always say, "God is great, hang in there!"

During the dark days of Apartheid, someone asked Archbishop Desmond Tutu how he managed always to be so optimistic that it would end one day soon. He replied by saying, "It is because I'm a prisoner of hope."

A few weeks ago I offered iPads to two people who gave the first correct answers to my question about the news and sports channels currently on the Kwese.com App. 

__Congratulations to Michael Asante and Alan Branson. I will be sending you both an iPad for Christmas. These are the answers I was looking for:

10 sports channels:

# Kwesé Free Sports

‪# Kwesé Sports 1

‪# Kwesé Sports 2

‪# NBA TV

‪# NBA TV (Bandwidth saver)

‪# EFC 56 

‪# ESL

‪# Arsenal Media

‪# Spurs TV

‪# ESPN

7 news channels:

‪# Al Jazeera

‪# France 24 English

‪# Bloomberg 

‪# TVC news

‪# KTN news

‪# Africa News

‪# BBC

The events (live matches) are not channels.

Stay tuned for much, much more!  This week, I will give an iPad to someone who gives me the list of six African countries where the Kwesé Free Sports Channel (KFS) broadcasts as a 24-hour channel.

Meanwhile, I've delayed my special announcement until January. This one will blow you away… Don't try and speculate on what it might be; you'll just end up feeding the fake news hucksters.  Just wait for it, and be prepared.

Merry CHRISTmas.

"He is the reason for the season." 

End.

The Nigeria Economy terms on Dollar

Read this...

Please let me explain to those of us who don't understand Economic terms. Dollar has not increased since Buhari became president.

1. Dollar is not our currency so dollar should not be our business.

2. Our problem is not d government but our problem is our importers and consumers.

3. Naira has remained at 197 naira to 1 dollar since Buhari became president.

4. Buhari has promised not to devalue the Naira and he has maintained that promise.

5. Both at CBN and at interbank rates, dollar has remained 197.

6. However because we are too lazy to produce what we use in Nigeria we import even toothpicks and matches.

7. Buhari does not like d importation of luxury goods because luxury goods is d reason for most corruption, that is why he banned 41 products from having access to forex.

8. However when Nigerian importers insisted on importing those 41 products, FG asked them to find their dollar at d BDCs parallel market also known as black market.

9. And to discourage the pressure Nigerians are mounting on the Naira just to get dollars for importation, CBN banned DMBs from selling dollars to BDCs.

10. To survive the pressure of excess dollar demands, BDCs resorted to sourcing for dollars from neighbouring countries through illicit money laundering routes.

11. Because of the risks faced by BDCs to source for dollars, and because of the increase in demand for dollars by importers because China just resumed from their business holidays, BDCs keep increasing the price at which they exchange dollars to naira and now it is 400 naira to 1 dollars.

12. However that does not mean that govt has changed the exchange rate because if our genuine importers go to CBN and fill Form M to import raw materials for local production, they will get dollars at 197 naira each.

13. So the problem is that we love to consume luxury foreign products yet we are too lazy to manufacture them here.

14. For example u will see a dull girl using iPhone 5 without even knowing simple physics and computer engineering part of how that phone was produced.

15. I want Buhari to ban every foreign product from Nigeria until Nigerians learn to produce and use Made in Nigeria products.
 
16. Let us stop complaining about dollar as if dollar has become Nigeria's currency.

17. It is even bad enough that most of those complaining about the high exchange rate of dollar do not have 1 single dollar in their purse.

PLEASE USE MADE IN NIGERIA PRODUCTS...

God bless 9ja.

Why The Most Successful People Work Hard Even After They’ve “Made It”by Stephen Guise

Isn’t the goal of financial success to be able to live the Caribbean life?

Then why do we see so many millionaires working like sled dogs?

The answer: Success has a unique taste (it’s similar to ice cream). It tastes so good that it makes you want to stuff yourself and try all the flavors.

Women and ice cream - what more could you ask for? Sprinkles.

APC Letter To Patience Jonathan

Dear Patience Faka Jonathan,

How is everything going for you and the rest of the people in Aso Rock?

I write this letter in response to your statement, "We are not conductors so we don't ask for change". I just want to tell you that in the real sense of it, bus conductors do not ask for CHANGE. It is usually the passengers who ask for CHANGE.

Your husband, Goodluck Jonathan was chosen as the driver to convey Nigerians to their destination; PDP was appointed the conductor; and the Nigerian masses were and are still the passengers. As passengers, we had paid our bus fares in 2011 using the vote currency and now, we are asking, demanding for CHANGE as we approach our destination, 2015.

Oftentimes, bus conductors do not agree to give the passengers their CHANGE easily (at least not without a fight or exchange of words ). Like the bus conductors we know, PDP does not intend to give us the CHANGE that is due us even when they know this is the right thing to do.

But we the Nigerian Masses (who live without basic amenities; who are unemployed; who do not feel secure at home and in public places; who have been designated as targets for shooting practice etc.) have decided to get our CHANGE from the conductor (PDP and Cabals).

You see the wind of change has so caught with you. This is why even you ought to vote for CHANGE.

Thanks for gathering your things as you prepare to quit Aso Rock back to Otuoke or Okrika, the choice is yours

Yours sincerely,
Lookman Alawaye Esq.

Pastor Adeboye Reveals 4 Equations of Marriage (No 3 Will Make You Laugh)

Marriage is not as easy as many think. It requires a lot of hard work and commitment to make it work.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has established a link between mathematics and marriage.
Adeboye, a mathematician turned pastor, gave couples a few tips to spice up their marriage.

At the first annual lecture of the Pastor E.A. Adeboye Professorial Chair for mathematics, held on Thursday evening at the Main Auditorium of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), the cleric, who has been married for 47-years, told the audience about four simultaneous linear equations for successful marital life.

Pastor Adeboye

According to the man of God, his understanding of the mathematics of marriage is what has kept his marriage strong.
Not only did Adeboye give equations, he supported each equation with relevant biblical verses

"I told my children that why I have remained married for 47 years is because I understand the mathematics of marriage. Mathematics is a science of living," he said.

Equation 1: This states that love is blind. It was supported with a biblical passage from Proverbs 10:12, which states that love covers a multitude of sins.

Equation 2: This states that "marriage is a miracle worker with special anointing for curing blindness." This can be found in Genesis 29:16-25 which gives the account of how Jacob was so in love that he did not know it was Leah that was given to him in marriage, rather than Rachel, until the next day.
When simultaneously calculated, he said the result shows that during courtship, love does not make shortcomings obvious until after marriage, when all doubts about character are cleared.

Equation 3: This one states that "angels don't eat jollof rice." Adeboye made reference to Judges 6:11-21 where the sacrifice Gideon offered to the angel was consumed by fire.
He explained that women eat jollof rice so they are not angels and are not perfect, just like men.

Equation 4: states that angels don't marry. This was supported by Matthew 22:30.

He therefore advised couples to have reasonable expectations of their spouses and not expect them to be like angels.
Enoch Adeboye obtained a Bachelors degree in Mathematics from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Nigeria in 1967, a Masters degree in Hydrodynamics and a Doctorate degree in Applied Mathematics, both from the University of Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria in 1969 and 1975 respectively. He worked as a lecturer in mathematics at the universities of Lagos and Ilorin.

I Don't Have A Facebook Or Twitter Account - Obasanjo Says

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says he does not have a twitter or Facebook account. Obasanjo said this while addressing media reports claiming he used his twitter handle to describe Fani-Kayode as a democracy wrecker.
"Fani-Kayode is a democracy wrecker, who's very fluent in stupidity. Give him food, and he will sing and do "shoki" dance for you.". the handle tweeted over the weekend.
Denying he tweeted it, Obasanjo said;
"I don't know where this comes from. I don't have any account on either the Facebook or Twitter again. Go and block it. Let me say that, nemesis will catch up with anyone doing this. It is illegal and criminal. If I have to pass any message to the good people of Nigeria, I know how to go about it with no controversy" he said

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has explained why his PDP membership card was publicly destroyed.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has explained why his PDP membership card was publicly destroyed on Monday February 16th. He kinda blamed it on the man who tore it...

In a telephone interview with Premium Times, Chief Obasanjo said party members in his ward led by the ward Chairman, Mr Surajudeen Olajundoye paid him a visit that Monday to express their concern over his inactivity in the party, saying that his inaction has made them uncertain of their own political future in PDP. They also told him that they heard that the state party leadership was in the process of expelling him from the party. Continue...

"They were concerned that I had only one leg in the party, and worried that since I'm their leader in the ward, they need to hear from me. "You are our leader and it is you we are following. You have remained a card-carrying member of the the party. But since you became angry with the party we have lost sense of direction and now we are hearing that they want to expel you. If they expel you, where do we go? What do we do?" Mr. Obasanjo quoted the ward chairman as saying.

Chief Obasanjo said after listening to them, he resolved that the party can not stand between him and his love for Nigeria

"In my response, I said when you people came you were singing a song and I agreed that Nigeria is our own. If the issue is the party, I will not choose the party at the detriment of Nigeria and I will fight for Nigeria even at the detriment of the party. I will rather surrender my membership of the party so you people can move on politically. If you people's worry is that I'm a card-carrying member of the party and I'm not showing you people direction and you are worried that I'm neither here nor there, this is the card; you can keep it, you can burn it or you can tear it, do whatever you want to do with it."

According to him, it was the ward chairman that tore his membership card.

6 Cool Ways To Enjoy Valentine’s Day Without Spending Too Much By stephaniedaily

6 Cool Ways To Enjoy Valentine's Day Without Spending Too Much By stephaniedaily
Valentine's Day is fast approaching and I'm sure you are gearing up for a fab day with that special someone. You're probably wondering how you are gonna fit in your spending to your tight budget. I've got news for you! Valentine's Day doesn't have to cost a lot of money for the experience to be romantic. Here are 6 interesting ways to show love without bursting your wallet:

1. Cook Dinner Together
Skip the expensive restaurants and make a homemade meal instead — but one more fancy than an ordinary night's dinner. Spark some romance while preparing dinner together. Choose a dish that you both love and work side-by-side in the kitchen to prepare it. Play some music to add some more romance to the experience and then enjoy eating the meal together, after you have prepared it.

2. DIY Gifts
Instead of buying a super expensive piece of jewelry or something equally as wallet-busting, give a unique and personal token of your love. You don't need to spend a small fortune to show the object of your affections that you care about them so why not make your own personal gift. It can be a photo collage or short video you compiled of the two of you. Whatever you choose to design, no one can resist a gift made with love.

3. Go Dancing
Its really not that expensive to find a good place around where they play your favourite music. Just go dancing! Put on your dancing shoes and get close with your significant other.

4. Write It Out
You don't have to be a super writer to write from your heart. It could be a Poem, a Letter or a short note. Search deep into your heart and write sweet words for your love. Let your loved one know just how much he or she means to you in writing.

5. Re-enact Your First Date
Do you remember the place you had your first date? Or the place you first met? It is very likely your first date together wasn't too expensive so why not recreate that special moment all over again. This will surely melt his/her heart and would give you time to recount the lovely memories of being together.

6. Get Creative in the Bedroom
Hmm… this is for married couples only *wink*.
One of the best parts of Valentine's Day is the facilitation of intimacy. This year, kick your bedroom antics up a notch and get creative by making it a night to remember.

How To Get Your Boss To Increase Your Salary? Here Are 11 Must Read Clues

Asking for a pay rise is a nerve-wracking experience; further convincing your boss to actually increase your salary will be more difficult.

But hey! Don't lose hope just yet as Telegraph publication discloses what you can do to get your Boss to increase your pay.

Here's how to secure the rise you deserve.

1. Do your research

We'd all like £250,000 a year, but you won't convince your boss to give you your dream salary. Instead, get a sense of whether you're actually undervalued within your company by asking colleagues how much they're paid. If that fails (there's every chance it might), use job advertisements to judge how much competitors pay similar employees. Then, before talking to your line manager about your salary, speak to your human resources department as they might be able to tell you how pay increases are calculated within your company – for example, if it prioritises boosting the salaries of lower-paid employees. "Research is essential," says Corinne Mills, managing director at Personal Career Management, "There are all kinds of salary checkers available on the internet. Look at advertised roles in your industry as well, but benchmark capability and knowledge as well as salary."

2. Choose your timing
Don't approach your boss at the busiest time of the week. Monday mornings (when everyone's warming up for the week) and Friday afternoons (when they're warming down) are out, too. Instead, talk to your manager when they're feeling relaxed – after lunch is a good bet – and ask to schedule a meeting. "Make sure they aren't rushing off and that nothing else is coming up – an important client visiting or a big new pitch – that might take priority," says Mills. If you think your boss would prefer advance warning, mention that you'd like to discuss salary. If not, it's fine to be vague and save the details for the meeting.

3. Get comfortable

If your boss is seated on a large and imposing chair, then they'll be more inclined to behave in an authoritarian way.

If possible, take your meeting to a neutral spot in the office – such as a semi-public breakout area – and seat your boss somewhere soft and comfortable. A relaxed manager is far more likely to agree to your demands. "If you have a relationship in which you have frank discussions, going off-site to a nearby cafe is fine – especially if you work in an open-plan office. You need to have this discussion where you aren't disturbed," says Mills.

4. Appearance matters

In a perfect world, all bosses would evaluate employees based on their talent and commitment. In reality, many are overworked and imperfect judges, prone to making snap decisions about those around them. Make sure your day-to-day manner, demeanour and appearance works in your favour. "There's no point dressing up on this occasion and looking shabby the rest of the time," says Mills. "The image you portray is an important part of doing your job well and you should always look appropriate." As the saying goes, dress for the job you want, not the job you have already.

5. Set out your reasons

Use clear examples to demonstrate how you've gone beyond your basic job description. Highlight a few instances where you've taken initiative, improved business or helped support the wider team. Remember that this is a business meeting, and your goal is to convince your boss that you are worth a higher salary.

6. Be silent

After you've said your piece, give your employer a chance to respond. "Silence is fantastic," says Mills, "as is asking for their advice. Never say that you're underpaid, and avoid confrontation. Instead, say: 'I've been thinking about my responsibilities and how they might be reflected in my pay. What do you think?' That open question gives them a chance to answer."

7. Keep your boss on side

"It's in both of your interests that you keep your employer on board," says Mills. "Reaffirm your commitment to the job and show you're up for challenges. People often get very defensive or aggressive, and the boss responds to that tone of voice. The more relaxed you are, the more relaxed your boss will be."

8. Be passionless

A snivelling employee is as attractive as a weeping ex-boyfriend – and just as unlikely to achieve a positive result. Pleading about your struggle to buy a home is a major turn-off, so leave your financial woes out of the conversation. And no matter how your boss behaves, don't threaten to resign if you don't get your way. Even if you're overworked and bullied, the decision to switch companies should be made quietly and discreetly – not during a tantrum.

9. Make your own pay rise

If the answer's no, explore other ways to boost your income, changing your working patterns if needs be. Ask if you could work from home one day a week – which would save 20 per cent of your travel costs. "With the best will in the world, employers may not be able to give you additional pay, but they could offer other things – such as flexibility," says Mills. "If you're asking for a pay rise because of your long hours, perhaps they could give you a more reasonable schedule instead."

10. Follow up with an email

Make sure that whatever you agree is put in writing. If your boss says they don't have the budget for a pay increase at the moment, then ask them when they expect that situation to change and make a note in an email. "Send them a memo saying: 'It was really interesting to hear

Side Effects Of Drinking Cold Water

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.

Willing To Know Who Masterminded The Postponement Of Elections? Read This

Those who masterminded the postponement of the 2015 general elections, regardless of the opposition from the All Progressives Congress and many Nigerians, are;

– The incumbent President/presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr Goodluck Jonathan – The National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki
– The Chiefs of Defence, Army, Naval and Air Staff, among others

The Sunday Punch Reported that two weeks ago, Dasuki, while speaking at a forum at the Chatham House in London, asked INEC to postpone the elections, saying the shift would allow for proper preparations and distribution of PVCs by the electoral body.

Reacting to Dasuki's call, the United States had on January 25, 2015, advised Nigeria against postponing the elections.

However, the military chiefs wrote to Jega, informing him of the security implication of holding the elections in February as earlier scheduled. This, it was learnt, was part of what influenced shifting of the polls.

Prof. Jega was said to have on Saturday told the leaders of the parties, his officers and the civil society groups that the commission was ready for the election as planned, but that he was worried because of the claim by the security agencies that they would not be able to protect members of the staff of the commission and the electorates.

Sixteen political parties led by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party were said to have favoured the shifting of the elections, while nine others led by the opposition All Progressives Congress were against the move.

The Council of State had on Thursday rose from a seven-hour meeting, advising the INEC to conduct the elections.

Same Thursday, Jonathan's supporters under the aegis of the Southern Nigeria Peoples Assembly led by Ijaw leader and ex-Minister of Information, Chief Edwin Clark, called for the postponement of the polls.

The PDP has also repeatedly called for a shift of the polls in the past two weeks.
