I believe that so many people may  be wondering why some students study the French language in the University while other curses like engineering are there. Well i just want to refresh our memories that the French language have being confermed the Nigerian 2nd official language, and if not for any reason, French should be studied an thought in Nigeria because we are surrounded by francophone countries.

@poster nigeria is a country where staff are not paid for 6months for example a friend of mine told me she left daar communication due to non payment of wages.In response to your question,

Politics is the most lucrative profession,you do need any qualification, simply attach yourself to a political godfather and not only will you have power but access to plunder your people resources with impunity just ask folks like Odili,Ibori,Tinubu

You're right my dear.

I just don't know why the poster is finding it hard to accept the bitter truth. He probably thinks everyone is joking here. Some one has already pointed the jobs out. Find it here again

1. Mega Oyel Bunkering (like those guys in the ND creeks)
2. Kidnapping (will soon displace oyel bunkering for the no. 1 spot because it has a higher "Return On Investment" rate)

7. Multinational Oyel workers
8. Bank Executives
9. Contractors
10. Others

Dear Mr. Poster,

If you do not want to accept the list above, please kindly come back home (if abroad) to create your own job, and try to make it one of he best 10. You will be surprised by the way poor power supply and other economic frustrations will swallow up the business within a year. I just pray it would not get so bad to the point that you will start considering the first six jobs listed above.

Please shine your eyes, and face the truth. If this is not the type of responses you are expecting, please rephrase your question. However, the answers you have received are the best for the question asked. That is Naija for you. Hope you understand.

Bye for now, and remember to greet mummy for me. Don't forget that thing I told you o!

Yours sincerely,

aktunde

^^^ am like naija 4 life. funny thread.

Its rly funny when u read some post frm nigerians outside the country.they tlk abt been patrotic with all sense of stupidity and folishness. When south africans were fighting 4der freedom,mst of their musicians then sang abt d societal ills prevailing then in S.A,letting d world knw what exactly is going on there which generated much attention, so when some people get upset when they read d post of others because u wnt them to tell d world that all is well in nigeria then u mst be a proper fool. Somebody mentioned BBC reporting some post from nairaland which he felt does nt project our image positively among the commitee of nations but i beg to remind u dat this countries ve their envoys here and they c d rot happening & report bck to their gvmt bck home, so if u like decive urself with false sense of patrotism it changes nothing because d reality on ground is so glaring even 4d blind 2c. Even d person dat started d use of d word rebranding has dropd dat slogan along time ago when reality done on her. I salute all those dat posted those criminal skilld jobs as d highest paying jobs in nigeria cos dats d bitter truth,u can even see that our president nw and past has gone ahead to bestow national honours to some knwn criminals in nigeria,showing to the world dat we do reward criminality according to ur perfomance,d higher ur criminal activities and records d higher d award. Pls my brothers in diaspora,wake up and stop championing blind patrotism.what r u evn dng there,i bet u cnt stay up to a mnt in nigeria whn u evn decide 2visit. Our senators earn 1000000 times more than obama/anum each and compare their acmplshmnt. A local govrmt chairman in 9ja earns more than british prime minister david calderon. So y r some people paranoid when u read dat kidnaping,oil bunkering and other criminal acts r d highest paid jobs.they r d obvious fact. PATROTISM MY ASS.

@ Thread, LMAO!!

I just pity the OP.

I see that solutions to our economic problems not forthcoming until we individuals change our attitude, mentality and perception to our own country. we made up of everyone represented in every crime committed in this country. someone just asked a question that might be vital to him/her, only for some silly idiots to enlist social vices and criminal activities as option. You and you need to change yourself before you can change anyone. If you can not utilize this forum for things more reasonable why don't you sign off?

I see that solutions to our economic problems not forthcoming until we individuals change our attitude, mentality and perception to our own country. we made up of everyone represented in every crime committed in this country. someone just asked a question that might be vital to him/her, only for some silly idiots to enlist social vices and criminal activities as option. You and you need to change yourself before you can change anyone. If you can not utilize this forum for things more reasonable why don't you sign off?

Judging from the location I see on your profile, I assume you currently reside in Canada. No wonder  . I expect you to know the meaning of occupation. otherwise, I expect you to have a dictionary. From own dictionary occupation means " The principal activity in your life that you do to earn money". Occupation can be legal or illegal. This is the first flaw the poster made. He did not phrase his question very well. That is why i advised him to phrase his question again, if he is not getting the kind of response he got.

Second. Nigeria is a free country where people get away with just anything as long as you are highly connected and you have the money to buy justice. That is why legal and illegal occupations are rampant everywhere. The Poster was not specific. He asked a general question, and  he got general answers. Someone gave a list, which I consider as the best. It comprises of both legal and illegal occupations. Assuming he listed only illegal occupations, I would have felt like you too. He wasn't biased at all. If you like pretend not to know, but that is Nigeria for you. Take it or leave it, the illegal ones take the lead. see the list again

1. Mega Oyel Bunkering (like those guys in the ND creeks)
2. Kidnapping (will soon displace oyel bunkering for the no. 1 spot because it has a higher "Return On Investment" rate)
3. More oyel bunkering (like that dude in Lagos)
4. Politics (Pays like hell. ever heard of "Sitting Allowance"? yeah, they get that too!)
5. Police (N50 x 500 Motorists  x 365 days. We're  talking some really huge figures here!)
6. Yahoo-Yahoo
7. Multinational Oyel workers
8. Bank Executives
9. Contractors
10. Others

I want to assume that the poster knew his answers already. How did he know Nairalanders are wrong, if he didn't have his own answers already? So, why is he disturbing people when he knows their views won't count? Even if he googles the question up, what he would get will still be the view of someone else. Everything he gets on search engines are posted by someone. And that doesn't mean every answer he gets in search engines will always be right. Only a federal bureau of statistics should have the kind of answers he wants. He should have contacted them if that of Nigeria is friendly enough to answer him without him bribing any office clerk. And yes, that is still Naija for you.

And you too. If you are this patriotic. Why are you abroad? To study? why cant you study here? To work and live there? why can't you work and live here? For business? why cant you sit here and do business here? Please do not deceive yourself. Those white people know most of the things we are trying to hide. Face the reality!

On a final note, I do not support crimes. But I will never pretend not to know that criminals earn more than doctors or engineers and others you expect to see on the list. But I want you to know that those things you see as crimes, are only crimes in papers as far as Nigeria is concerned. But its a way of life here. Those who should bring the criminals to book are even the ones behind it. This is a country where only poor people go to jail for crimes committed. The rich ones (often our leaders) get away with it. So, what are you trying to prove? Abeg shine your eyes jare, and leave matter!

rebranding this cartoon is not feasible oh

1. Engineers (Petroleum, Civil, Electrical)
2. Bankers
3. Accountants
4. Doctors
5. Lecturers
6. Lawyers

The above is a joke right?
Lemme summarize"

Item 1. How much do they earn per annum compare to Kidnappers
Item 2. Hope it is not the Nigerian bankers? Sanusi is not done yet, so why go there.
Item 3. Accountants, jeez this guys gets a little taste of good life at 65yrs.
Item 4. Doctors, which onces? hope not the doctors that are always "begging" for better renumeration from the Govt.
Item 5. Lecturers, As we speak now they are on strike. hoover your beam light to the South East Unis. I rathered do conductor than this.
Item 6. Lawyers. All for the money, they can brandish a broadday light criminal innocent. Like the Keyamos, Aondokas etc.


NIGERIA IS A FAILED STATE PERIOD, the Indians and the Arabs doing biz here are releaving Nigerians of their job, only to tell you that they have state of the art IT tool do the same job anywhere in the world (from there countries), Indians have the technology, the Arabs have the money to buy. checkout what Ericsson did to their staff deployed to the failed Zain NG. and Arab IT firm is on the verge of following suite and we have Labour Laws. God give me strength and courage to start this much anticipated REVOLUTION. the Jerry Rawlings way.

^^^^
we individuals change our attitude and perception? Don't make me laugh! let me ask you these very simple questions:
1.  When was the last time your vote counted in Nigeria?
2.  When was the last time Nigeria had a 'Honest-To-God' Politician, that is not a thieving, scheming 'basterd' like all the lot?

If any of your answers to the above questions happens to be 'i cant remember', then your conviction that a change in the attitude and mentality of an individual (whose vote doesn't even count) is seriously flawed, my friend.

Let me also point out to you my dear friend, that great minds (whom in your own warped and prejudiced opinion you chose to call 'silly idiots') answered the poster's query with the sick and bitter truth. Deal with it!

So come off your high horse from far away Canada and face the truth. These are the Top 10 Well Paid Occupations In Nigeria (like i posted earlier)

1. Mega Oyel Bunkering (like those guys in the ND creeks)
2. Kidnapping (will soon displace oyel bunkering for the no. 1 spot because it has a higher "Return On Investment" rate)
3. More oyel bunkering (like that dude in Lagos)
4. Politics (Pays like hell. ever heard of "Sitting Allowance"? yeah, they get that too!)
