Hello there. Could anyone recommend places in Lagos where I can get the following done/made:

Flyers

Receipt Booklet (as in a booklet where receipts can be torn out from not the little ones that are dispensed by tills)

Book Publishing (I'm looking to do a booklet really)

Also if you do any of the above please give me ideas on pricing so maybe I can bring my business to you.

Thanks a billion.

Oh and I disagree about govenors stealing despite visiting well-run countries because they are unpatriotic. If I had access to the amount of money paid in tax by nigerians you best believe I'd be turning patriot pretty quicky.

This whole ambassador thing is like linking up staring with you going over to a girl's place (which would always be neat and tidy). The day will come when she'll want you to invite her over to yours and you best believe you'd want it spic and span if there's going to be any chance of play in the future (with her OR her friends ).

These guys are just silly and don't care about how they look IMHO.

Well, I beleive the abuse is necessary, Londoner.

No one begins to think that they've got the short end of the stick until they've compared themselves to someone else.

Things ain't getting better. People don't fully believe yet that it's been a long time coming. Stuff like good roads and constant electricity is still a dream to many who in the back of their minds believe they won't get to see those things in their lifetime (at 25 yrs of age I'm one of them).

No point adopting civilization halfway. it's either jungle or metropolis or at the very least a symbiotic coexistence of the two.

Not "UBA Lekki Phase 1 Branch isn't open because NEPA has taken light" (WTF)

India has it's own space station and rocket for fucksake. We don't even have common electricity to power one measly bank's computers.

And we should be proud because why?

Take the abuse and let it make you angry I say! Feel bad about the way things are!

It'll make you question things at least. Which is the first step towards progress.

Man, londoner, abhosts, others: I don't know what to tell you guys.

I guess I'm kinda frustrated, because fixing things isn't going to be easy as it involves  

(1) changing people's mindsets and (2) doing away with certain cultural quirks (respecting "Levels", for one).

As someone who's always been an outsider looking in it's always been clear to me that The People not just The Government are to blame.

It is an incredibly vicious cycle: you can help people but the side effect is that they'll depend on you and eventually come to see it as being their "right" and take it all  for  granted (that ego again).

You can do nothing and the side effect is that you're only adding to the problem.

In a place where there are as many churches as there are banks why are the morals so shit?

Because moral education as well as proper education is the only solution I can see.

But when the well off and middle class openly show their disgust towards the poor the line between who's right and wrong blurs gon.

SO where do we start?

^^^^ pffft whatever!

Never been patriotic, so abuse I shall hurl.

Think about it: as an ambassador, President or Minister - with a job description that has you flying out to other nations - who arrives in places like the UK, Switzerland and co where THINGS WORK time and time again: how can you return to your own country and feel proud of it?

How can you steal money inspite of it?

It doesn't make sense.

I'm not sentimental about things like nationality, my dawg, I'll call a spade a spade and a shitty country a shitty country.

People wanna move forward but there's too many fat ugly egos in the way.

You know what Ghana has that Naij doesn't? Good people with sense.

You can already see that ugly Yoruba ego pipping up and talking crap in this thread about "Igbo people are this" and "Ghana is that".

I mean I know Igbo people can be fast but if you were surrounded by idiots who couldn't see past their immediate wants (wants, not needs) wouldn't you want to play them for fools too?

I've lived in Lagos 18 years left for another six to study abroad and come back and nothing has changed. Sure we got a new bridge from V.I to Ikoyi and sure Yabba isn't as rowdy as it once was and sure we've got the Lekki Epe expressway and sure there are a lot more foreigners strolling around the place like Lagos is supposed to be a tourist destination or some Poo, but the people are still the same.

You either have people who want a free ride and can't be bothered to do jack squat, people who just want to do shakara and opress others with what they have or people who demand your respect without doing anything to earn it. And the main offenders are YORUBA. It's bleeping ridiculous.

It's so bad that if I were on road with a Blackberry now and it got stolen from me the person who stole it won't SELL the phone but KEEP it. Despite the fact that they make a living selling pure water and PROBABLY NEED THE MONEY.

Nobody thinks ahead here. Nobody thinks about the bigger picture. Everyone just wants their puny little egos stroked.

I'm Yoruba by the way but I might as well have been born Hausa or Igbo as I don't think with my ego.

There's too many puffed up people who want to matter but aren't willing to do what it takes.

And don't get me started on the people who rise from the gutter to a position of power and fthrow sympathy out  the door.

bleep this country jare it ain't going nowhere long as people remain dumb.

Hello everyone, Nairaland Newb here.

Tell me, what are our natural resources? What does Nigeria export and what do we import?

I know electronics and automobiles are huuuuge here (don't think Suzuki anticipated how big their bikes would be) as well as packaged goods.

I know we got oil, some gold and cocoa, which other countries get and turn into money (we can't even call it exporting).

But i'd like a full list of everything widely known as Nigerian Grown.

Because I sort of feel the money lies in what we're ignoring, i.e. what we aren't using the resources for.

Economists, engineers chemical, mechanical and other, agriculturalists and anyother degree holders related to this topic that I haven't, pipe in.

Your knowledge just may get you (and others) rich.
