I'm a Nigerian, and I am really pissed by the government. Majority of the masses live below the poverty line and the politicians pack a whole lot of money at the end of the month. Little wonder many support Trump calling the country 'shithole'. Yeah he's right.
Imagine a country where the minimum wage is a paltry 18,000 naira, that is about $51. I mean how will someone survive on that every month? It can barely even buy a good shoe (14,000 naira). Meanwhile, a house of representative member and senator will make about a hundred times of that amount monthly as a basic salary excluding allowances. This is ludicrous! This is insane! This is pitiable!
An average Nigerian graduate is unsure of employment. Those that are favoured are those whose relatives are well placed in the society. Nepotism is the order of the day. Competence is trumped.
I now ask, how then will Nigeria grow? What has happened to meritocracy? Why won't the poverty gap become wider?
I'm fed up! I have not seen a geographical region so packed with corrupt people than Nigeria.
The people of Nigeria are naturally good and talented but as a result of the parsimonious, corrupt and pococurante attitude of those people in power who spoil the image of the country, they will rather focus on their pockets than National development by encouraging our great minds. Later, they will complain of brain drain. Why not?
How long has Prof. Amagh Nduka, a PhD student of James Chadwick and an Internationally acclaimed physicist, been saying that he has a solution to the electricity problem of the country without any one listening to him? How long has Prof Alex Animalu tried to develop Science and technology in the country but has been discouraged severally? They never learn. That was how we lost the likes of Philip Emegwali, Chike Obi, Joshua ( the now British boxer), Chimamanda Adiche etc to other countries. Oh! We never learn.
Now, recently the President said he would assist Ghana fight corruption in their country, while corruption is thriving in his country. This is laughable!
I can go on and on, but I have to end it here. I'm sick and tired of this country. I'm fed up
Sounds like the usa
Really? It's usually painted as the ideal country
I thought everyone knew this. Half our country lives totally different than the other.
It's quite sad. But then, why do many people clamour to immigrate to the USA?
for me its fuckin annoying when people comment on my fuckin post and write they dont fuckin believe me were im come from helloo! im from GREENLAND! and also most of time i fuckin hate when they comments "were are you come from" fuck it! cant you see my name ?! i always think like that cant you see my name!
and sorry for too many "F" words
@fromgreenland d:-D ps im a fuckin nice guy!
hahahahahahaha.... not everyone knows greenland. they might be thinking "oh.. he is from some grassy area"
had a good laugh
hay, are you from Greenland by any chance ?
Yes im from Greenland🗻🏔
I may be flagged as a xenophobic but...Is it that fucking hard to learn the language of the country you’re moving to? Why do you even move there if you can’t speak their language or hate their culture? I’m sick and tired of people of all races and nationalities who’re immigrating to find a better life but don’t even fucking care to learn the language and adapt. I’m looking at you, people who’re forming small communities of your nationals just so you don’t have to learn new language and change your way of life and rather call everyone racist or xenophobic just because they can’t understand you or because your behaviour is unacceptable in their culture.
@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #42. The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.
The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.
If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest List I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.
P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!
Thank you for letting me submit my rant on your site instead of linking to my post. It is about work and needs to stay as far from me as possible.
I work in an Emergency Department as a nurse and take pride in the care I give my patients. Earlier this week, I was put in a compromising position, where I had to look after severely ill patients but was also allocated to look after nearby psychiatric patients, or 'Code Grey' patients. I believe patients' lives and their safety was put at risk; along with my professional reputation.
I am so upset about this, I have indicated I am handing in my resignation and have looked at other jobs. I refuse to keep working in a position where I can put lives at stake!!
Wtf is wrong with these banks in my country who can't seem to getting their fucking eyes off my balance and always looking for a damn reason to debit my account... So annoying
I just pay attention to my blog every time I throw a fucking article that always get little upvote, it's like to kiss my ass so I can steem a lot here,fuck of with this, son of the bitch, l want you give me some fucking steem ea.....
i love Beijing because people are really respectful to elders. But old people here can get really stubborn. i was on the bus commuting to work. it was peak hour and an old granny came on board the bus. It was really crowded and people are giving their seats to the granny to sit so she won't fall.
BUT SHE DIDN'T WANT TO SIT!
She was saying "oh, it's ok young ppl, i can stand, I'm getting off 3 stops later...." The bus had to wait till she sits put so we can move on. it took around 10 minutes and i was almost late for work!
Oh Dear Granny...please... just sit.
I'm a photographer. Or, at least I'm trying to be. Trying to get clients can be one of the most frustrating things in the world. Especially in this day-in-age where everyone with a camera thinks they are professional. Lately, I've had potential clients pulling the same shit maneuver over and over. It jerks me around and leaves me hanging with a nasty taste in my mouth.
It begins when they ask me how much I cost. A normal thing, right? Services cost money. So after I find out exactly what they're looking for, I send a quote. This is followed by negative reply. Now, they don't just say that I'm out of their budget, but they let me know how much their budget is. The difference usually isn't that great. Something that I could, if I really wanted to and had the time and needed the cash, do. Since I'm a freelancer, that's, like, well, always.
Now, this puts me in a really shitty situation. They're already on to the next person without even giving me a chance to counter. A reply at this point is pretty pointless. So, I'm left there basically holding my bag going....'just...wait...one...second...please...' to empty space.
Why, why, why, if they have such a small budget don't they let the creative know up front and ask them if they're able to work within it. Or, ask what can be done for that amount. And, if the photographer is too expensive, why not give them a chance to negotiate? I mean, very few will not get up and do something if at least $100 is offered. It's like an insult to the injury. Letting the photographer know by exactly how much they were, and not giving them a chance to lower it a bit for any stupid reason they could think up that people will just nod and smile at. It's like a total dick move. Tantalize the freelancer with some money, then, when they're just a bit too expensive, let them know that and take the opportunity for work away from them.
We're not talking major budget shit, just dinky $100-300 jobs. Quote $150 and they only have $100, might they still check if they'd do it anyways? I mean, if I quote $600 and your budget's $100 that's a different story. But, $50 and you don't give them a chance.
I've had like 5 of those face-palm moments in the last week. That's like $500 of money lost because of stupid crap like that. I mean, you can't quote lower and lower and lower hoping not to miss anything. You go out of business that way.
Ugh, business blue-balls this week from things like that.
