You don talk am finish

Mine is set up similarly. Leave allowance pays rent and 1st term school fees. January upfront pays second term school fees. 13th month goes to parents for December expenses.

And before Melvin comes, all the allowances are also a part of your salary. Some companies allow you compress everything and receive alongside your monthly salary.

Watched the video and didn't see any where drinks were canned, or is this the shorter version?

BlueRayDick:


I can't find the full video. I watched an extended version on TV back then and I saw cans of Malt drinks impounded in the raid. The story made serious headline for days back then.

GloriousGbola:


This is the same guy who thought 200k is generous as a salary. Understand that you are engaging a sheltered person without responsibilities.

Rent and school fees constitute significant spend that you must plan ahead for. If you are a salary earner you must set aside. If you are a business owner you need a bulk payment.

I miss the days of paid employment because I had January school fees on lock back then. I set up my finances such that my leave allowance, 13th month and turkey allowance all combined in December.

Those days are gone now.

i had a colleague who used to work in guiness
he said that they went to meet with the late Dora Akunyuli to ask how they can combat counterfieting of guiness

she told them - there is no way.

when the people counterfeiting are ready to kill you and there will be no consequences.

[to this day no one was arrested for her attempted assasination. and the bullet went through her headgear]

she said the best you can do is periodically change your branding.

when you live in lagos or a capital city you can even easily identify or source the originals. go out of lagos and you will see where people are literally making billions from selling adulterated products to people who cannot easily identify the original.

It's just so annoying that people engaging in the crime call it hustling. How can ur hustle be endangering people's live ?

Las Las na people wey dey drink only water save for this country (Provided they don't drink unhygienic water too)

or he subtly reminded wike that he is now ex gorvernor

Realmrsean:
one thing I like this fubara for is that he is no cócksucker..

Prior to now, I thought 💭 been a nobody before wike made him gorvernor will make him bend his ass over for wike to be fuckin him recklessly

I have seen he is as hardened as he comes and I like people who holds their own when it comes to a fight even if they later loose..

BlueRayDick:


All those machines used for packaging can drinks can be bought from China na. It just takes a criminal mind with a daring spirit to put some of these things into play.

But even people in Lagos cannot really tell fake from the original.

I expect a difference in taste between the fake and the original, but I feel the difference may be too insignificant to identify the difference?


This is the reason why whenever I want to get important drugs, I always get them from a reputable pharmacy like Medplus.

izzou:


I don't know the way they are adulterating the cans, but it is quite difficult.

Maybe the cans impounded where bought to mix with the counterfeit...Maybe

Even in Nigeria, only very few companies produce cans...Like very few

Anybody that can import the whole machinery from China will not bother to hide inside bush and produce fakes.

Cans are still the way to go.

BlueRayDick:


It may be difficult to, but it's not impossible.

At least I have heard stories of traders in that Apongbon/Oke-Arin axis who have Machines they use to erase expiry date of products and write a totally different one on it.

Very easy naa.

For snacks like Gala, use sealtape or Methylated spirit.

Then you can buy the stamp and fix a new one.

I saw it in a dream oh. I have not done it before

from the video it might even have been a cway driver for that matter

BlueRayDick:


The problem with that "taste difference test " is that most times most people can't tell the difference. At least for all those apongbon Hennessey, Ciroc and co; what a friend told me was that most people who go to club drink fake liquor because by the time they get to the club they already took a bottle or two and their taste bud has already been altered by alchohol in the system. So it is difficult for them to know they are drinking fake liquour in the club.

GloriousGbola:


What izzou is saying is that you have to make and brand the cans. Which is a significant cost in itself. Most other counterfeiting involves reusing the container. The brand forgery is the cap and the paper.

The moment you are molding and branding aluminum cans, you are already running factory operation.

Are you sure there's no way of sealing a can that has been previously opened?
