if u cant post ur ulgy face at work, plz just shup up

thank for ur laziness??

    Flat screen

In a dusty, oily alley in the heart of Wuse market in Nigeria’s capital Abuja, 25-year-old Joshua Ejike sits with the guts of a flat screen TV in his lap.
"There's nothing we can't handle" he says. “LCD screens, DVDs anything.”

He came to the capital three years ago from rural Abia state after finishing secondary school.

He has never studied any technical or science subjects.

ikeyman00 abeg watin dey vex you like this nah my brother.

'Pop'

Power-cuts are common in Nigeria, often followed by power-surges when generators are turned on.
“Our light [electricity] is not stable and even surge protectors can’t handle it,” says Joshua.

A “pop” sound from your TV or expensive new DVD player could mean you need the skills of a repairman.

But most repairs are only temporary and it might not be long before the smell of burning diodes fills the room again.

well cant anwer till i wake up broda! my head don scatter for these baa tards

Boss

Napoleon is the boss of these repairmen.
He rents part of the shop behind them where reconditioned sound systems are sold. Each of his workers makes around 3,000 naira ($25) a day.

“I have been in this business five years. I served under a master, now he set me free and I set up for myself,” he says.

“Give me anything dead, I will rewind it.”

Music

"China” specialises in CD players.
He brought out a dusty wreck he said he had just finished working on.

It looked like it had just been dropped from the roof and kicked about.

“Don’t mind the dust, I will clean it. It works.”

He fired up the generator and music came out of the speakers.

Mobile phones too

A few yards away under the eaves of another storefront sits Philip Erigbara, a mobile phone mechanic.
“We wrote off to the phone company and requested a diagram of the inside, then we taught ourselves to fix them,” he said.

A simple problem may take only 1,000 naira ($ to fix; a complex problem with the software, two or three times that.

@ikeyman00

Talented? Probably. Professionals? Mba nu. These are trained artisans, trying to make a living by learning a technical trade. Kudos to them all the same for making the best out of sordid situation. My brother, not everyone can come back and do this o, different people get different plans, some are realizable with the state of the country while others are not. What is more important is for the Nigerian State to provide the opportunity for more people like these to get the training and support they need, creating more jobs in the process and reducing poverty.

Having regular power supply and security would go a long way in helping us develop.
Guys like this could get jobs in outsourced support centers or in assembly plants.

hahhhaha

oh well

to all you, i agree but atleast we can agree one thing there, these are men at work in pic

no long thing

hhaa

dr its a lie, these are no apprentice, they are men at work, read what they said

no wonder they say illiteracy is a disease.

amazing how the internet allows all sorts of fools people to come online and highlight their stupidity

stop making a fool of yourself by celebrating roadside technicians

i hope your kinsmen call you to order 

calling untrained artisans 'professionals' . what next? 

are you actually so numb that you thinks the nigerian professionals in the diaspora are working at radio shack etal as entry level workshop employees

kai! ignorance!

Oyb shut up!!

Expert and specialised knowledge in field which one is practising professionally.= Professional (webster dictionary )

These Guys are good in what they are doing, so?

Calling those guys road side mechanics for creating jobs for themselves in a country like Nigeria is plain stupidity. How many graduats can boast of the amount of money these people are making?

no wonder they say illiteracy is a disease.

oyb

u are a compelete and ultimate slowpoke and  to come to the net to justify your blantant stupidity cannot be over-emphasized

so many white people that have to lie about their qualification to get a job, still there many millions out there, now u go and lie to see if they wouldnt find out.

Recently there is a pilot that couldnt land his plane in emergence cuz he forge his certificate in US facin trial!! yes whiteman thing

how many times have pedophiles lie to work in children care home??

how many white ppl got trained to do a job that requires university grades

how many white truck drivers that works in oil companies in nigeria as an expatriates

how many white people that could make millions in their country, them moved to Dubia and turns out as CEOS with fat paycheck

u are a bush slowpoke online, continue displayin your stupidity

Impressive!

In a country that shuns excellence and hard work, these guys are doing a great job learning to be technicians and providing food for their families. They're not running around killing people, kidnapping children for ransom or burning down buildings out of foolish religious zealotry. They are working hard and giving hope to their children in an otherwise hopeless society.

While the criminals in uniform and the goons in agbada are stealing millions of dollars per second, these guys are trying to survive in a country that does not care about her citizens.

My prayer for them is that they will earn enough to send their children to good schools and their children will be smart enough to gain admission to top schools in the world. That their children will do better and greater things. That they will fulfill what their fathers have begun! Amen.

are you actually so numb that you thinks the nigerian professionals in the diaspora are working at radio shack etal as entry level workshop employees   

kai! ignorance!

Radioshack is not a technical company. They sell electrical parts and consumer electronics in large scale like my uncle at onitsha. Same goes for Grainger that deals on industrial tools.

This is the funniest thread i have read today, cant stop laughing

^^^

not suprised

make sure u chop belle full 1st in  case of suffocation



one wonders how the alaye-boyz manage to elude your amusement

good stuff!! ha

It's one thing to congratulate these guys for being skilled in something, it's another thing to lose sight of the big picture.
We must NEVER allow ourselves to become a nation of repairers. Every nation needs some level of invention and innovation. And that's what good technical education often provides.

you know how nigerians always set such low standards for themselves.

next thing he will be celebrating panel beaters as professionals


i am not knocking peopl who are earning their daily bread, but things should be put in a proper perspective. or does ikeyman think he can present the people he is celebrating as professionals to actual professionals from japan, us, etc?

^^^^^ oyb

to be honest, u are writing nonesense!!

believe that

still better than oil bunker, aleye boyz, these ppl are makin something out of nothin


i remember this igbo guy i met in abuja near the hotel i logded, he is a cab driver, and he said to me that em he used to have some big shop when was demolished without given notice, but then on, he switch to okada riding and save to buy some tokubo goft very decent that car is

what technician can come up better than that

my friend never underestimate the igbo spirit
