Seun,

Kindly interrogate this dude. I never nominated him or anyone else but he found a way to manipulate his nominations. I haven't been on Nairaland today until this minute. I logged in only to discover that my moniker was used to nominate someone.

Thanks.

He didn't hack into your account don't panic... If he did, he would have posted it directly from your account. But your account doesn't have any record of the original post.

What he did was to edit a moniker he quoted and replaced it with yours. Making it look as though you were the one who made the post.

This was why it was impossible to trace the original post. He just replied the quote by thanking the person(s) for nominating him. The quote was where your name was edited.

At this point I believe it's safe to say that the black man cannot effectively manage leadership.

No sub Saharan African nation is progressing. From Nigeria, to Niger, to Congo, Mali, Liberia, Gabon, Burundi... etc, it's the same story. Abject poverty and insane Corruption from their leaders.

Donald Trump was right after all. Africa needs to be recolonized a second time. We obviously cannot progress with this crop of fantastically corrupt leaders, and blind tribalistic followers.

Mynd44:
don't know. I have never enjoyed the "spirit" or whatever it is. Just don't get the hype.

I always just want to sleep through

Hello Mynd44... kindly check your mail I sent you a message. My email linked to this profile has been compromised so reply me via WhatsApp.

Please you guys should allow this issue of Queen Elizabeth slide.

In WW2 Nazi Germany murdered over 6m Jews in the Holocaust, the USSR and the British lose over 40m souls each to the same war.

Today they've put the past behind them and moved on.

I'm of the Igbo extraction but blaming the late queen for the death of Biafrans during the war is like Osun State pensioners blaming the oni of ife for not paying them, or Kano state civil servants blaming the Emir of Kano for their delayed salaries.

The queen is a ceremonial head, her job is to collect tax and spend, the British no longer run a monarch government, they run a democratic one, so decisions, deliberations, actions...etc would be taken and executed by the government.

The queen doesn't even have the power to choose or fire a prime minister, that alone should tell you that she wields no executive power.

Kobojunkie:
Please stop misguided these people.

Lol...I used the word Christian.

It's ok if you aren't one, you don't have to get all worked up over nothing.

If you're a Christian look for a Bible believing church and go there for deliverance.

This has scam written all over it. Don't let desperation deprive you of your hard earned money.

Enugu is bordered on multiple sides by all the 4 south east states.

Okigwe in imo state is about 1hrs drive to Enugu state capital, Abakiliki in ebonyi state is also about 50 mins drive.
Awka, Anambra state capital is about 1hr drive from Enugu while, umunneochi Abia state is about 45mins

For access to airport, your best bet is Anambra...although the airport isn't anywhere closer.
But it's the closest to Enugu airport.

That Awka-Enugu road is bad, it would take him hours to get to Enugu because of the bad road.

He's best bet is Abakaliki. From Abakaliki he'll be in Enugu in less than an hour, there's a fly over at ezzambo junction and ezzilo so he won't encounter any single traffic until he gets to Enugu. Dave really did a great job in Ebony state.

A lot of doctors in Enugu live in Abakaliki cos accommodation there is very cheap and drive to work in Enugu every day.

Anything to rescue Nigeria from it's current state is a welcome development. Hopefully we'll get it right next year.

But we all can’t be self-employed na.

I get your point though. Many organizations would pay you low because they think you are not doing anything. Oya, make it hourly pay, so that I can be jumping here and there - they won’t.

Lol...they won't make it hourly because they want to keep using their staffs.

Hourly pay would mean if you have an engagement say by 3pm, you can resume work by 8am and sign out by 1pm, having ample time to prepare for your engagement. If your employer wants to keep you back due to the magnitude of workload they're experiencing, he would have to respectfully seek your permission to tarry with them. And this would definitely mean additional working hours which mathematically translates to additional pay for you. So it's a win win situation if you choose to stay. Hourly pay would mean you can manage 3 different jobs and still be effective in 3 of them, because you'll know how to manage your time effectively. But today's employer would keep staffs in the office from morning till 7pm and sometimes force them to work on weekends and still pay them peanuts even though the agreement was 4pm. Then expect them to come and thank him after receiving their pay, (like the thread that was on the home page few days ago) that's slavery.

pocohantas:

I was having this discussion with my friend the other day and he made mention of pension. How much is the pension? Same pension that they don’t pay? Some of our hardworking civil servant parents are still very reliant on us.

Pension kwa...do you know that some civil servants monthly pension is as little as 15k. You'll see them under the sun in government house standing for hours for their documents to be approved so that they can rush to the bank to collect 15k, then the following month they'll be back to resume the same process. Isn't that slavery? Heaven knows I would never tolerate seeing my aged parents queuing up for such nonsense.

pocohantas:

You are wise!!! I had a boss that kept threatening me way back. He would tell me to divide my salary by 21 working days and ask myself if I deserve it. Lol. That was a good question. But thinking of it now, if I divide that salary by 10hrs, it was nothing. Yet we thought we were enjoying.

Lol... your boss would have felt he was doing you a favour by employing you, that was why he made that statement.

Imagine being a civil servant for over 35 years, and you can't even boast of a depleted bungalow in your village upon retirement, cos the system has been programmed to oppress the poor and favour the ruling class.

This is why I'm strongly against salary jobs in Nigeria today. Reason being that most of them are just slavery.... do you know that a standard bar/club owner earns far higher than a bank manager and the latter would always respond to him as sir whenever he calls him for transactions. Why because the former controls how he's money comes, he's not under the constant whip of a taskmaster disguising as an employer, so he's bound to succeed.

Alright...pls what'd the least tfare in ur area

Do you mean in Enugu state? That would be #50. I don't think transportation in any state in Nigeria is below #50.

Hourly Pay Vs Monthly Salary…




Would you like this payment method or you prefer the fixed monthly salary?

Hourly pay would be much better cos it would be easier to negotiate for a much better pay. But considering how corrupt Nigeria is... only a few people want to be in possession of the money.

Take for instance a fresh university graduate who is paid #65,000 per month and works 9 hours a day, 5 days a week and 4 weeks a month is only receiving about #361.2 per hour. #361.2 multiplied by 5 working days would be about #16,254 for a weekly pay.

I trust that if it’s being stated this way and paid a cumulation of it biweekly or even weekly in pay checks (like you suggested in your second post) as the case may be, Labour Unions would have fought for a upward review on salaries a long time ago, like making minimum wage #1,000 per hour.

But like I stated earlier, corruption wouldn't allow employers and the government reason this way.

I've never been to Oyo state. But for Enugu, it depends on the area you're living and the kind of job you're doing. There are places in Enugu that are relatively cheap.

Mourinho200:
With the unemployment problem in Nigeria, what course can one study that is really worth the stress of going to University in Nigeria? Please I need urgent opinions (answers).

Medical and computer related courses. This two would remain high in demand in Nigeria regardless of the increasing unemployment statistics in the country.

Myer:


The Graduate trainee part though. It's never yearly. It's at most for 6 months before conversion.
I know Access pays well. But with this economy the salary scale too should have been increased. It has been the same for about 10 years now while cost of living has multiplied.

Would you blame them, operational cost keeps rising. Diesel as at 9:00am this morning was N890 per liter, cos of maintaining their staff bus and cars, cleaning, printing, NEPA Bill...etc. these costs has tripled over the years. No thanks to our dormant president who cares very little about the economy.

In 2006, with a salary of 200k, you can buy a land and start building your own home. Today, a salary of 200k can't sustain a family of 5 living in a 2 bedroom flat in lagos....it's that bad.

You want to sue them for how much exactly, for 40k. Do you know the cost of hiring a lawyer? Can you afford one in your present state...

Apply in the leather factory to work as a labour staff, or any other factory, your pay would be clearly higher than the 10k they pay you.

As for your current employer, they have no plans of paying you, just get another job and forget about them.

dominique:
They were both governors around the same time. What makes him think he's politically superior to Peter Obi that he cannot become his vice?

Peter Obi was even the executive chairman of Fidelity bank. Aside being a senator for one term what is it about Kwankwaso's portfolio that he's expecting a bank chairman and former governor to step down for him.

A bird at hand they say is better than 5 in the forest. I would advice you to accept the bank job first for the time being.

For the government job slot, just leave it, I know someone who paid close to a million naira for FIRS slot and as I'm typing this, she's still unemployed. Most of those slot sales are nothing but fraud, stay away from them and save your money.

Finally, for the Cyber security course, this one sounds much better, but you'll need money to make that dream become a reality, this money wouldn't fall from heaven, you'll have to work in order to raise that money and accepting the bank job would be a good stepping stone to raise the money.

Good luck.

Comot marriage for the picture, you only have 2 option.

Op go with this advice, delete marriage from your options.

Back to the two options, it all depends on you, if you still have that urge and determination to finish your academics and believe in a successful career in law, go ahead and proceed to the law school.

If you feel that law is overrated and there would be basically no job for you upon graduation from law school, and you're convinced that you can make it big in business, then by all means tour the business path.

Good luck.

Don't sell it, if you do you'll regret it cos owning a property in Nigeria is akin to owning a gold mine.

I would advise you to hand it over to an estate agent firm to manage then go abroad, let them rent it out to tenants. Every year they (the estate management firm) would be crediting your account with the agreed rent amount from the tenants. In 5 years time that house would be worth x10 of it's original value. This means you would have the opportunity of increasing the rent by 100% and still have tenants who would be willing to pay.

If you have 4m cash with you, I wouldn't advice you to go into transportation business. High cost of fuel, engine oil, maintenance, police and agbero extortion, accidents (minor or major), insecurity...etc, would make it impossible to recover back your principal even after 2 years.

With that money, you can open a grocery store, as a graduate, you can advertise it on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp...etc. Use your knowledge as a graduate to further expand the business, like registering as a distributor with factories that produce most of the products you sell so as to buy at at a much discounted price and boost your profits.

Good luck.

If you find yourself frustrated with an incompetent boss it is likely because you have experience that they lack...

It is important to swallow your pride and share your experience and knowledge without rubbing it in their face...
Share the information that this boss needs to grow into their role and you’ll become their ally and confidant...

No Nigerian boss would humble himself to listen to the shared knowledge of a supposed subordinate regardless of how clean and harmless your intentions are.
