5 Things Lagosians Find Annoying About Lagos Traders....

There are many things we love about Lagos; the night life, the entertainment, the business and its vast opportunities. There are also stuffs we do not like about Lagos, like the traffic, high cost of living and the annoying way traders at the markets go about their businesses. Some of them look like they dumped their scruples at home and came to the market without any. Naijaloadedin this piece discusses 5 things most Lagos traders do that could make your skin crawl…

1.Pulling you their way:

This is often done by the Hausa men who buy and sell dollar and gold. They totally throw caution to the wind and hassle passersby to come and buy or sell foreign currencies or gold. Some of them some would drag women by he wrist in the most irritating and annoying manner to come patronise them.

2. Agressive traders:

They state the price for the item you want to buy, which is often frivolous and ask you to feel free to state what you are comfortable paying. But as soon as you mention a figure they do not like, they go all harsh on you.

3. No window shopping:

Elsewhere in the world, its OK to window shop but in a typical Lagos market, it isn’t. 5 minutes in a traders shop without buying anything or finding something will land you in a very embarrassing situation.

4. Impose stuff on buyers:

They show you something they think you should like and you dare say you do not, they start to remind you of all the reasons in the world why you should take it and when you insist you do not need it, the trader will get offended and shade the heck out of you and ask you to take your broke self out of their shop.

5. Throw shades:

There is no excuse for not having enough money on you to buy their highly priced items as that would be tantamont to being yabbed by them and their associates. What do you not like about Lagos markets and traders???? Drop your Comments.

President Buhari’s Administration Launches N10 Billion Youth Entrepreneurial Project

The Muhammadu Buhari administration, through the Bank of Industry, on Thursday formally launched a N10 billion Youths Entrepreneurship Support (YES) project to empower youth with loans to start businesses. Speaking at the launch of the project in Abuja, the Minister for Industry, Trade and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah, said his ministry would partner all agencies of government to create new jobs.

He said more than 40 per cent of Nigerian graduates had no jobs and that an average of eight million Nigerians entered the job market annually. The minister said that the ‘YES’ project of BoI was part of the Federal Government’s youth employment scheme, saying that about 36,000 jobs would be created annually through ‘YES’.

He appealed to prospective beneficiaries to repay the loans for the success and sustenance of the project. Waheed Olagunju, the acting Managing Director of BoI, said that a participant under the scheme could access up to N10 million loan with single digit interest rate and repayable over three to five years.

He said that an applicant must present NYSC or higher education certificate as collateral to qualify for the loan with two external guarantors. Mr. Olagunju said that the bank was partnering 11 consultants across the country for the first phase of the project. Afolabi Imokhuede, a Special Assistant to the Vice President, said job creation was at the heart of the current administration.

He said that government intended to create 3.5 million jobs in the next three years, adding that the ‘YES’ project was one of the programmes. Mr. Imokhuede advised participants to take the ‘YES’ seriously as online courses were now popular means of job creation world wide. Nasir El-Rufai, the Governor ok Kaduna State, said that the state was partnering with BoI on job creation. He said that the state had been able to take controlling shares in Peugeot Automobile Nigeria with the assistance of BoI.

This is 'abducted' Ese Oruru's alleged unedited letter to lover. Yunusa..

Supposedly, below is a letter the 14 or 17 year old abducted Bayelsa indigene wrote to her lover, Yunusa, who is presently in police custody for abducting her, taking her to Kano, converting her to Islam, marrying and impregnating her. Read below as obtained by sunnewsonline Dear, Inusa how are you? I hope you are fine and all is well with you? Please don’t be annoyed by these words but I think it is best for the both of us.

Please please please don’t be annoyed I beg of you Inusa, maybe every­one just have to say the truth.I want to start by saying thank you for everything if accepted, thank you yanzu, I would say I now know what is going on which you never wanted to tell me but I will say that is not fair.When I started selling here, I met Abubakar who once told me that he had fellings for me but I can never send because I did not have fellings for him, so I turned him down. Then again I met Genedu and I also turned him down. Now, it is Dantata which everybody knows that he loves me dearly but I find a lot of faults in him and don’t love him back.

He has done his best to stay down and beg about one year now, if I am right, I will never lie to you Inusa. Dantata has been begging me to love him back but as soon as I wanted to fall for him you came back into my life. I still know that Dantata is still waiting for me only if I will accept him.Inusa I now know that you also love me and I have decided to love you back. I love you Inusa but sometimes I do think Dantata is still seeking. My name as know by myself is RITA and my main problem is that if I love you (Inusa) and you also love me what will become of us.

You once told me you like me more than anyone else, but now I have seen how far you have gone in this case because it is very serious to me.You asked me to help you in just three ways in which you said:Follow me to my village – Kano StateLeave your religion for mine – Christian & MuslimIt is only you I love and no other personI have already accepted the first quest then while decide to tell me that you cannot take me along with you the same day it is very unfair. Inusa why, just tell me why you decide to be unfair.Well Inusa there were many other Hausa boys who asked for friendship but did not get it. I had so many people who I have lived with do you know what it means to live the people you had lived with for 13 good years of life.

Think on me Inusa pleaseI beg of you Inusa pleaseThink on meMy heart bit immediately or anytime I see you if you know how much I love you you will not think about hurting my fellingsI still stand by you Inusa, yeallo yellow my best colour but one question who made you think.I write this because I am sick and tired of this baldadash I hear everyday.

You should know this Genedu, Abubakar, Saidu are humans for crying out loud. Inusa to conclude this, taught you can solve this problem by just one thing.Your address and your phone number, maybe if we have to go one by one we shall do just that.No matter what happens I still love you InusaNo matter what the case may be I still love you InusaFrom yours dearly Rita a.k.a Ese
