Career / I Interviewed 3 Pure Water Sellers In Central Area Abuja by Loadedcity: 11:41am On May 22, 2016 |
I interviewed 3 pure water sellers in central area Abuja and
according to them, sometimes it takes about 6 hours to sell 20
sachets of water which amounts to a total of N200.
.
From the N200, the profit is only about N40.
.
As the pure water sellers have to pay the wholesalers their money
back as well as cover the price for ice block which was used to cool
the water.
The long And short of it is that some of them make only N40 In 6
hours of hustling under the hot sun, risking their lives on major
express roads and always at the mercy of the environmental
protection board who whip them with cane when caught, burst their
water sachets to the ground and fine them N5,000.
.
As if that isn't bad enough, when passengers and drivers reach the
traffic stops, they prefer to dash N100, N200 Or even N500 to
beggars and fake sufferers who sometimes make about N1,500 a
day doing nothing but begging, leaving them richer, luckier and safer
than the pure water sellers who are young entrepreneurs serving the
larger community with their trade, and trying to make ends meet.
.
So when next you are at a traffic stop, please:
.
.
1. Dash the pure water seller money instead.
2. Buy pure water to patronise them and if the change is (N10, Or
even N20, you can leave it with them)
3. Say something nice to them.
Greet them, encourage them.
4. Slow down, don't knock them down.
5. Even if you wont buy the pure water, if they ask you to buy, rather
than ignoring them and facing front as if they are not humans, say
thank you to them. Source: https://mobile.facebook.com/officialrayshy 4 Likes 4 Shares |
Politics / If You Must Lie, Be Brief by Loadedcity: 12:22pm On May 21, 2016 |
Sometimes in 2003 or 2004, I had to attend a job interview and I
needed to find my way out of the office. I approached my boss and
gave him a litany of customers I wanted to meet with the hope of
securing new accounts. I so much hyped the need for me to go out
urgently for those transactions as our branch wasn't doing well then.
My boss quickly released me with a pool car and a driver. Thinking
I've outwitted my boss, I drove out of the branch smiling. Just so
that I could give the driver an impression that it was a business call,
I went to visit just one customer and finally we were off to my
interview.
When I got to the place of the interview, I signed in quickly as I was
almost late. I didn't pay attention to the other names that had
signed before me. I was ushered upstairs where other candidates for
the same interview were sitting. As I was waived to my seat and I
prepared to sit down, I heard someone chuckle right next to me and
a voice said, "Mr Bayo, e pele o" (You're welcome). It was my boss.
I froze in mid-air. It was as if I was sitting on an imaginary chair. I
broke out in sweat immediately. I had been caught red-handed. No,
purple-handed. I was caught with my hand in the cookie jar. As if
God wanted to really catch me, the seat I was given was right next
to my boss. He too had been invited for the interview.
Laughing, he asked me to sit down. I did so very reluctantly. Quietly,
he asked, "Is this your customer visit? Where are the accounts?" By
then, I had summoned a bit of courage and I asked my boss with a
bold face, albeit jokingly, "Oga, what did you come to do here
also?". " I came here to wait for you and expose your lies", he
replied laughing. Of course, I knew he also came for the interview.
He snapped his fingers at me and promised to issue me a query in
the office. I snapped my fingers back and told him I will respond
appropriately and in details with the names of those who should be
in my response. We both broke out in laughter.
Back in the office, he called me and told me, "If you must lie, be
brief". Since then, I usually tell my team mates the same thing.
Forget about embellishing your lies. Or better still, don't even tell a
lie. Once the narrative is too long, there is a way your lies will catch
up with you. In the words of Alexander Pope "He who tells a lie, is
not sensible how great a task he undertakes; for he must be forced
to invent twenty more to maintain that one". There is no one who
can lie so much so intelligently that he will remember in details all
the lies he has told- not even Lai Mohammed. Each lie must be
covered with another layer of lies until it becomes a mesh of lies
which now becomes difficult even for the liar to keep pace with.
That is why the truth is better. You don't need any great memory to
tell or remember the truth.
Which brings me to the current 'palliative' in Nigeria. The 'Chibok
girls' story. What do we now believe? Was the first Chibok girl
rescued by Civilian JTF or the military? What is her real name-
Amina Ali or Fatima? Or the third name I can't seem to recollect
now? Why is her Boko Haram abductor being treated with such
respect? How come a baby born in Sambisa Forest is looking as
healthy and well nourished like any other? While I can relate with the
fact that the north is educationally disadvantaged, I can't really
understand how someone writing WAEC will not be able to speak a
word in English. What was the rush in receiving someone who had
just been 'rescued' in Aso Rock within 24 hours? And I think it is a
curious coincidence that another Chibok girl was found 24 hours
later. Will it be one Chibok girl per day as this government counts
down to the First Anniversary? If all these questions are answered
logically, then there are still more questions that go way back. How
many trucks were used to carry the 220 girls when they were
abducted? How come the Principal's daughter was not among those
abducted though she was writing the exam at that period also? Why
was the school opened against the advisory of the government? How
come we don't have pictures of all the 220 girls abducted?
Somehow, somewhere, the true picture has been distorted.
These are the thoughts in my head. I'm finding it very difficult to put
all the pieces together. Something is not quite adding up for me. On
one hand, I'm very glad that the Chibok girls are being 'rescued' or
found- whichever is the truth. But on the other hand, I find it tough
to follow the narrative logically. I am forced to agree with William
Shenstone who said 'a liar begins with making falsehood appear like
truth, and ends with making truth itself appear like falsehood'.
Since all stories eventually must have an end, it is good that closure
is finally being achieved on the Chibok case. May God help us to
discover the truth in the midst of all these. 1 Like 1 Share |

Webmasters / How To Create A Server For Communication With An Android App by Loadedcity: 9:33am On May 16, 2016 |
I need to create a server which initially checks an Android
applications trial period, so
-on running an Android application the phones info is sent
over to ther server.
-The server stores this information.
-Whenever the application is opened within that android phone
the server checks its trial period has or has not expired.
-In a way it's like an Android time bomb. I'm completely new to servers and really just want a basic, secure, server that simply registers a phone and compares it against a trial limit. Anyone have any information on how I could do this? Any code examples or tutorials are very much appreciated. |
