Nigeria has to be the only country in the world where parliament executes projects.

Aisha Buhari is as guilty as me on corrupt charges. Oh, so you're guilty?

Nobody can win any battle against me. You be God?

My father had prayed for me that if I continue to be righteous, Ekiti people will serve me forever. I noticed too that they're serving you already, but at least give them their reward for being good subjects i.e. salaries! King Righteous Governor

I was sent from heaven as a demi god.You dey crase?

APC is a government of 'one chance'. Well, wetin you for talk na?

[Everything I've predicted would happen in Nigeria are happening, some have happened.
Looks like you're a prophet too sir

I was Obasanjo's boy so I know he's not a saint. Bros shoe get size. Don't forget you went to beg him even after he had called you a baztard when you grossly disrespected him in public

Dr. Goodluck Jonathan is a saint. Oh Lord

Buhari can't take Nigeria out of the woods. And unfortunately, you are not helping the matter by mis-governing Ekiti State

Food security is better than general security, hence my 'stomach Infrastructure' policy. Just don't say that near the farmers being terrorized by herdsmen

Ekiti will be in economic bondages until 2036 because of debts collected by former Governor Kayode Fayemi, so my hands are tied". But why did you bother to contest for the office, Mr Governor?

Oga please just return to your motor park business, or at least try to run a transport company with the loot from your nose-diving political career. Shebi you get motor park experience?

Its quite relieving after the FG announced the commencement of the N-power program as many unemployed graduated seemed hopeful. This program is said to absorb over 600,000 graduate. Nobody enjoys being unemployed though but, I want you to know how tired up you will be in this program once you are given the job.
Remember they requested for ur BVN?
This means that after you apply for the job, you will not be able to apply for other Government job thereafter. As it will read in there database that you are already employed at the Federal level, there is no flexible potting. A friend who works with with a Federal Secondary School shared how he went for an interview during the CBN recruitments and after performing excellently, they told him he had a Job under the same FG through his BVN. So, if you wish to apply for this job, consider not getting any other Federal Jobs. While this may be a way to reduce unemployment think of the implications it will have in your life.
Just like NYSC, you will be supervised, you will not be allowed to leave a particularly area. Really NYSC part II
You will be tired up with 23k for 2yrs.......reflect on that

If your career ambition is to work in a government job; good luck to you, but do not discourage those who have higher ambitions and wish to acquire skills to help them achieve them through the N-Power program.

Mubz:



Wait, i don't get it. You mean some people's ambition is just to work in a ministry? or some government institution? When i tell people; Are there hard hard working Nigerians, yes there are, but to be honest there are a lot of extremely lazy bunch. Just imagine someone's ambition is to work for a ministry and hence because of that, he/she won't apply for Npower. Oh My God. In this age where people are creating things and improving the way we live. Its sad, it really is.

I read the original post and shook my head as it presented another perspective to what employers say about many Nigerian graduates being unemployable.

I suggest Seun organize a mass orientation for youths on this forum. The level of secondary illiteracy displayed here is growing by the day and is very alarming.

I asked for her number but she said she doesn't give her number to clients.

Which true business owner withholds their number from clients??

It looks like you've been cheated. Sorry about that.

AgroPro:
Whilst studying your PhD you could also enroll in master program on a part time basis.

What would be the point of this?
The candidate holds a BSc, PGd and will be on track to acquire a PhD. What would be the point of running a part-time MSc on top of it?

OP, please go for the PhD without hesitation. A reason why your supervisor suggested so is because he believes you can achieve it based on your academic record. Turning down the offer would be letting him down, and indirectly saying you don't believe in yourself enough.

It's a challenge and opportunity for you to step up and I think you should grab it boldly and prove your mettle.

psalmuelwater:
Does that mean there are no competition in the area you have listed? Of course, I'll really want to distinguish myself from the "baba tajus". Bt I'm really interested in that specialized roofing system and their techniques, what about it? Mr 1forall. Thanks

There is competition in those areas just like in most fields but it's far less than the more common trades because of its specialized nature and the level of training required.

You can start by doing an extensive Internet search on "specialized roofing systems" and/or "specialized roofing techniques" to learn more about these things. The most common to my knowledge is the standing seam technique and there are various implementations of it depending on the sheet manufacturer.

Check them out and if you have any questions please ask.

It seems to me that now is the time you'll be required to make sacrifices necessary to achieve your dream of owning your own fashion house. My advise to you is to accept the job first while you remain on the lookout for something with a more favorable schedule - a bird in hand they say is worth a dozen in the bush.

You already have basic knowledge of fashion design so continue by offering to sew for your friends and family - I expect they should be able to condone any errors due to your lack of experience at this stage. Also, look for experienced/established fashion designers around you that you can collaborate with on such sewing projects. The benefit is that they can help you if you are pressed for time, and you can rub minds with them about your designs and learn a few things from them too.

Once you feel confident enough you should offer your services to your work colleagues too, but be mindful that they may not be as tolerant of mistakes as friends/family.

Apply this approach over the next 6 months and see how much progress you make.

Once you are grounded enough to deliver good quality jobs I expect your work to speak for you to the point where the decision between your job and passion will be a easy one for you to make.

Good luck!

Being a graduate of Building Tech I wouldn't advise that you acquire the general construction trades skills like aluminium windows, tiling, plumbing etc as you would be competing directly with the crowd of artisans out there. If you do, I of course expect that over time you would set yourself apart based on your educational background, but that will take time and you will have to deal the challenge of customers who prefer the cheaper labour from 'Baba Taju' than your own expertise which is likely to cost more.

My advice would be to look for a specialized area of construction where you can easily set yourself apart (due to less competition) to learn about and acquire skills in.

The following areas readily come to mind:

- Building insulation
- Building cladding
- Specialized roofing systems and their installation techniques

I also suggest you go into whatever area you decide with a motivation to learn new skills, grow your expertise and develop a career as opposed to just making money. This is so that you are not discouraged along the way because; as you know, there are bound to be challenges on the way to the top.

However I admire your pro-active approach to your career and wish to encourage you to carry on with hard work, persistence and determination as you expand your skill and knowledge base.

And if you have any questions about those specialized areas mentioned above do not hesitate to ask.

It's just another demonstration of the widespread failure of leadership in Nigeria and although it looks good in the news, I'm not impressed.

We need welfare schemes for everyone with clearly defined criteria for citizens' eligibility, not the random, selective handouts they give to boost their image and publicity like this one.

Can Anambra government build a house for every widow in the state?
Is she the only widow in Anambra state?

Both their posts are further proof that money can't buy class.

Atleast NFF officials are sure of $20,000= kick backs from the foreign coach, oliseh refused to cooperate so he was kicked out.

Finally someone reads the situation accurately.

I believe it's one reason the rogues in the NFF prefer to hire a foreign manager.

Over-sabi is worrying you. Why paste someone's domain info on a public forum. Well, I blame the website owner for not activating whois privacy protection. Northgate is genuine, they recruit for cnsslccl who handled MTN cal centres.

You had nearly 4 years to read the topic but from your response it appears you still managed to fail to comprehend the part of my comment where it advised you to do your findings.

Again I say don't just rely on the effort of others, do your own research.

[size=18pt]1. She doesn't need a passport to travel[/size]



[size=13pt]All passports in Britain are technically issued in the Queen's name, her madge doesn't need one to travel herself. "As a British passport is issued in the name of Her Majesty, it is unnecessary for The Queen to possess one," according to royal.gov.uk. "All other members of the Royal Family, including The Duke of Edinburgh and The Prince of Wales, have passports."[/size]

[size=18pt]2. She knows how to fire a gun[/size]



[size=13pt]This photo was snapped during a royal visit to Surrey's National Shooting Centre. The Queen couldn't resist some target practice when she was shown this L85 battle rifle.[/size]

[size=18pt]3. She served during World War II[/size]



[size=13pt]The Queen is the only living head of state in the world to have served during World War II and she was the only female member of the British royal family to do so. She joined the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service when she was 18 and learned how to drive a military truck, during which time she also acquired some serious engine-fixing skills (which leads to the next fact).[/size]

[size=18pt]4. She's a trained mechanic[/size]

[size=18pt]5. She has two birthdays[/size]



[size=13pt]The Queen doesn't just celebrate one birthday a year like regular folk, oh no; as well as probably getting better presents than you (she got her first corgi, Susan, for her 18th), she also gets twice as many birthdays. She was actually born on April 21, but her "official" birthday is held in early June on a Saturday, during which she hits the town for the Trooping the Colour parade.[/size]

[size=18pt]6. She was sending emails before the internet[/size]



The Queen sent her first email from an Army base back in 1976

[size=18pt]7. She's not averse to the occasional photobomb[/size]



[size=13pt]During the Australian Commonwealth Games, hockey player Jayde Taylor tweeted one of the most epic selfies of all time, which featured a grinning and slightly blurred Queen Elizabeth in the background, peering into the lens.[/size]

[size=18pt]8. She's starred alongside James Bond[/size]

[size=13pt]The clip above was filmed as part of the opening ceremony for the London 2012 Olympic Games, which saw Daniel Craig escorting Her Majesty out of Buckingham Palace and into a helicopter, before the pair made a grand entrance by skydiving into the Olympic Stadium (the Queen may have used a stunt double for that last bit, but given her proven track record in badassery it's impossible to be sure)[/size].

There would have been nothing wrong if you asked the HR guy to tell you the pay range for the role. You would have just slotted your answer very close to the top end of it

Anyway, a topic was posted just today which should be helpful to you, check https://www.nairaland.com/2501236/5-ways-should-research-employers

Also, you can check this Nigerian employer review website https://ngcareers.com/all-reviews with the hope that your prospective employer has been reviewed there.

Bottom line: Do some good research on the company.

Good luck!
