shortgun: The so called Professional bodies in Nigeria seem to be nothing more than gatherings of people with oversized egos. It doesn’t make sense that a person who has studied engineering for five years can’t be called an engineer unless they register with COREN. Why do lawyers need to go to law school after already obtaining a law degree? Even accountants have to pass ICAN exams to be seen as real accountants after spending years in the university for a degree. This kind of absurdity only happens in Nigeria—where did our policymakers pick up these practices?
Wrong!!. You've to be registered before you can be called Engineer. That's how it is ,everywhere in the world including almighty America.
hakeem4: do not worry you will not fail but amongst few of my friends i have not seen any one of them resit coren. But I have seen them resit NSE alot of times
Coren exam is around 30mks, technical report 40mks, qualifications + others thing I think around 30mks also, so there no way someone will not score at least 15/30 in the exam. Major mks is from the technical report. Pass mark is 50%. Dressing is just 2mks, current affairs 2mks
Hotman95: When i did mine,i got to abj from Ibadan around past 9pm. Few hours before my exam.i went to the exam location and spoke with the security men.They allowed me sleep in one of the vacant office there for 5k.. So they might help you for a night if your village people no follow you go.
There are cheap hotel/guest house around federal housing which is not too far from exam venue (space centre). I booked with 15k for the night.
Tex42: If you're using bus, just go to ANIDS or GOD is GOOD and board a bus going to Abuja. Tell them you're heading to Lugbe (federal housing). You'll alight at Lugbe. There are affordable hotels around Lugbe you can lodge in.
The Venue for the PI is not up to 10minutes drive from Lugbe(federal housing).
Thanks. Where is ANIDS or GOD is GOOD park in Ibadan
Goto alakia or brewery @ Iwo road and wait beside the road.you will see bus going to abuja.the fair is around 7k. I will advise you go early in the morning a day b4 your exam.
Thanks. How many hours is the journey from Ibadan to Abuja. I'm asking because I wish I could arrived during daytime inorder to book hotel for the night. I don't want to arrive there in the night
But you can check your profile to know the exact day yours is scheduled for.
Mine is 28th of August, but don't know how to get to Abuja(lugbe) from Ibadan. Can you give me hints on how to go about it without missing the exam. I really need hotel accomodation
It could be signed by mostly your confirmer, because he is the one you spent minimum 4 years experience with... Proposer can also sign... Make sure any one signing must be financially up to date....
Lastly, dress corporate when going to write the exam ...
What of if the confirmer is in another field different from the field I'm working. For example I'm in electrical engineering but confirmer is a registered civil engineer
MOST REGISTERED ENGINNERS THAT ARE FINANCIALLY UP TO DATE DONT KNOW THEY NEED TO APPLY FOR THE PAPER SEAL YEARLY ONLINE IN THERE PORTAL. IT IS JUST 7K FOR LIKE 24 PAPER SEAL.. AND IT CAN BE DELIVERED TO THEIR WORK PLACE BY THE STATE COREN OFFICERS WHICH THEY PRACTICE... INFORMATION IS POWER....
Will the Technical report be spiral binded or bounded like those use for Bsc project. Also, must be signed and stamped by one of the proposer or another registered engineer
Now this is what I expected foolish Bobrisky to do, just get a good lawyer and insist it was paper you sprayed, where is the exhibit? But the foolish guy just pleaded guilty.
It even a crime using or displaying fake money unless for acting. The punishment wound have been more severe if Bobrisky go that line. lawyers knows all these tricks
Good morning... Stamped Concrete should last for at least 7 years on the average before showing signs of maintenance and places with less traffic like you said will last much more.
As regards cost of maintenance, Interlocks has lower cost of maintenance as you may just need to remove the weeds that grow between the spaces and relay the Interlocks incase some portion sinks. Also if you use nylon and do small concrete casting before laying Interlocks it will last much more.
What do you mean by the sentence in bold. Concrete before laying pavers?
Jlow2: No miracle can happen in Nigeria, it’s gone for good, before end of the year cement will be 10k per bag, dollar will be above 3k, nothing will work because it’s built on lies and deceit, that is why the good , upright and sincere people can not prosper in Nigeria, no matter the grammar and policy put in place it will not work,it is so because it’s same ruling class, eg a former accountant general looted over 300billion , he hosted a party in his house when he was granted bail, emeifele looted trillions operated over 500 accounts , he is in his house watching Afcon with expensive luxury wines,beta Edu diverted 3billion , she is in her house doing make up, these re what the system sees as upright people, examples 2, uae arrested sum terrorist sponsors in dubai linked to boko haram and jailed them, later named their collaborators in Nigeria that operate bureau the change through which the launder money, none of them were arrested , or persecuted talk more of been in jail, they re all sleeping well in their air conditioned houses in abuja, example 3, the billions fg used to rescue dangote refinery , imagine it was used to promote small and medium enterprises, share it to a million youths that are into sme and each indirectly employs 5persons do you know what it means, instead it was giving to one person that will not will not employ more than 5000 Nigerians, the fuel price will not go down, he will not by Nigerian crude, and he will still source the scare dollar in Nigeria to buy American crude , putting more pressure on naira, Labourer’s in core northern states now travel to Niger republic to look for jobs , because naira is now worthless to cfa, Nigeria is now a laughing stock in comity of nations, for those whom think prayers will save Nigeria re wasting their time, majority of Indians and Chinese re Hindu and Buddhist , but have sent people to space, all have good economy, giving good lives to their people,but Nigeria remains one of the most unfortunate country in the world despite blessed with natural and human resource
Chai?? We are finished. Those morons in power should come to nairaland to read this. What's the hope for an average Nigerian?
A305: Most not so rich Nigerian parents practically invest in there children to earn returns from them (the children) by a way of taking care of them in their old age.
Myself I don't fancy that, that's why I had to learn trading crypto currency so even when I'm old and senile, I will still be earning in my own little way. However, most people tend to fall back on earnings from their real or fixed asset such as properties and the likes and the once who were successful in building a business will continue to get paid by their business even in retirement.
The smart ones invest in the money market such as: bonds, shares, stock, Treasury bills and Mutual funds in local and foreign market and currency.
So when is it too old to work — no specific age, provided you still alive, healthy and have the desire to earn to remain relevant in the society.
Fun Fact: The average Nigerian buys land or build a house first when he hammers in hopes to secure his future. (Real Estate Banking)
All these are easier said than done. Things most time don't work as planned. Invest first in your children and also planned for old age by investing in properties like land , rental houses. Business and all these crypto may failed you.
I knew that development of a country is a complex and multifaceted process influenced by various factors of which I believe we can influence as individual or as group of committed people.
Nigeria has significant potential for development. It possesses vast human and natural resources, a large population, and a strategic geographical location. However, can we achieve the same level of development seen in countries like the UK, USA, or Germany if we have a long-term commitment and concerted efforts . To be sincere Nigeria is becoming unlivable for an average and innocent citizen. What I mean by innocent is that, those who don't involve in shady dealings in other to survive in the Nigeria system. What area do we really need to pay attention for Nigeria to really develop and to be a sought-after country. These are not about APC or PDP , or between Tinubu /Atiku/ Obi. Let's be factual. For those who don't have the means to Japa, what's the hope for us.
What a dumb comparison. Poverty in the West is different to Poverty in Africa. Poverty in Africa is like none other on this planet. Poor in the West will still have basic amenities like constant power, running water etc that’s not for the poor in Africa. Compared to Africa (even for the poor), America is Disneyland compared to Africa.
To measure poverty level, three steps need to be taken. 1. Defining an indicator of welfare. 2.Establishing a minimum acceptable standard of that indicator to separate the poor from the non-poor (the poverty line). 3.Generating a summary statistic to aggregate the information from the distribution of this welfare indicator relative to the poverty line.
On 1, Nigeria is no where to be found on welfare package for the citizen, extremely poor. On 2 minimum acceptable level for one to be rich is #500k per month salary, one can still live average life, having personal car, modest house etc. How many Nigerian earn above #500k per month? .on 3 statistics to aggregate the distribution of wealth in Nigeria is not reliable as most acclaimed rich people wealth are not transparent as most are into shady dealings. To be sincere unless one just deceiving himself, large percentage of Nigerians are poor. Those acclaimed weathy individual like otedola are one in million. They are just outliers. In summary, Average White live far better life than Average Nigeria
Elsucre24: I will be 31 this year. Omo the age is scaring me and I keep feeling like I’m not doing enough. I have a stable job in the private sector with a 400k monthly salary. But I still feel the impact of the economy badly. I keep asking myself, at what point will I start living the good live? I feel stock sometimes because my job is very demanding and I almost do not have time to do other things, mind you I’m in the medical field and I work Mondays to Sundays most times but occasionally I have some Sundays to myself and sometimes a day off during the week. I can’t seem to be able to start a business as a side hustle cause most of the side hustles I can think will demand my presence at least for the first few months and I don’t really have that. My girlfriend is pregnant, I really wanna keep it but she’s not ready, I’m not even sure I’m ready. The only way she can keep it is if I’m going to get married to her before the pregnancy starts showing and I’m as confused as hell cos I don’t know if I’m ready. She has always been vocal of her plans to japa. Now that brings me to the idea of Japa too. I mean, I cannot deny that fact that I’m scared of the whole japa stuff cos I don’t know what to expect. Economy doesn’t even allow you save as much as you should. Everything’s just seems very scattered.
Pls I need adult minds to advise me on what I can do. 1. Do I start a business, what kinda business can I start with at least 2M that will not require my full presence? 2. Do I start to plan my japa through the study route and just face my fears 3. Should I insist on keeping the pregnancy and hope that things start making sense? This means I have to get married tho.
Thank y’all.
Japa require huge amount of money. Do you've above 10million Naira in your account.
Olodo is a dullard. I am not insulting them, but saying that they are dullards. What do you call anyone who calls himself a researcher and cannot think of some ways to make seeds for his nation? Is that person a genius?
Sir, they are olodo...as in dullards. And dullards don't get an increment in salary. So, you don't get that this is my point? A stupid president will raise the salary of those olodos. I wrote earlier...if I were the president, I would decrease it further and promote salary increments based on performance. Shikena.
And you want the Nigerian government to keep spending on them because the discussion is about education. Lol. So, the money they will collect is not from income from industries and profit from good economic policies...right? Ok oooo.
They are olodos. Period. And olodos don't deserve fat salaries. Shikena.
I understand that you have strong opinions about certain Nigerian lecturers and their abilities. However, it's important to maintain respectful and constructive dialogue when discussing issues partaining to others. Labeling lecturers as an "olodo" or a dullard is derogatory.
Furthermore, intelligence and job performance are complex and multifaceted. It's not appropriate to make blanket judgments about people's abilities based on limited information or personal opinions. Different individuals have different strengths and weaknesses, and it's important to consider a wide range of factors when evaluating their performance or potential contributions. Lecturers are not only meant to teach but also to do research. The task is huge and no resources to do these tasks effectively as there are no reliable electricity, internet services very poor etc. shouting they don't produce quality seed is not main task for those lecturering in crop farming
Secondary is the real education. University is for learning a skill.
Unfortunately, in Nigeria we see university as education. This why people waste five years studying a skill they neither have interest in nor have enjoy. Then, after five years they start thinking of learning a skill.
With all due respect to Chief Awolowo andvhis good will, I believe his legacy of "free university education for all" has done more evil for us as a society than good.
University isn't for everyone. Agreed, university graduates (especially post graduates) are the intellectual elites of every profession and society. They're innovators and sit at the top of the intellectual pyramid. However, people like this SHOULD only make up 5% (or even less) of a good society. Most of the jobs and problems are repetitive and generic.
For example, real software engineers are very few. Most software developers are just consumers of libraries and frameworks. Also, most of us just need tailors to sew something in vogue for us, we don't need a shiny new design that no one has ever seen. And so on and so forth.
Our government should remove hands from our universities and maybe polytechnics. They should focus on making our secondary school up to standard such that a student of public secondary school can write and pass waec and jamb without any extra lesson/tutorial or illegal centre. After that, everybody should go and learn mechanic, electrical, plumbing, tiling, hairdressing, baking, carpentry and even some white collar jobs like data analysis and web development.
Many of the jobs that require bsc today are just entry-level jobs that were meant for secondary school finishers in those days. All these bank cashier jobs are normally for waec holders.
. Why categorise web development and data analysis with carpentry, hairdressing etc. if you're not well educated you can't do web development and data analysis
Are the parents ,students ,government and school owners better than him?
Even the students know teaching is worse than human trafficking.
They must pay 4 their evil as well.
Spits!
No school has the right 2 my life!
They cant claim my head successfully.
On top how much?
U guys better stop comparing schools
all are same
Those teachers claiming 2 be big
They are just a little bit more 4tunate
It is not only teacher that are underpaid. Many professionals and well skilled people in Nigeria are also underpaid. If you know you're not getting what you want in life change career but don't do fraud, robbery, engage in sharp practices etc in the name of I want a better life.
Seeking a better life is important, but resorting to illegal activities like fraud or robbery, etc as promoted by that dimwits is not the solution. Everything is not about money but fulfilment. It's crucial to explore legitimate avenues, such as changing careers or add other sources of income. Add farming, poultry, or learn programming. Don't because you're underpaid by some greedy and self centered school proprietors now decide to engaged in illegal things.
Tb19: The quote "A Teacher reward is in heaven"is a punchline for you to get exploited by capitalism the more.
In all humility, who the Bleep told you all teachers will make heaven if there's in fact one
If you're in your 20s, deep down you know you can't amount to anything with that job in this country.
Take risk, do that fraud, the times where decency in how you earn might get you something or somewhere great is gone.
Critically look at the options to make money legally in this country and compare it to the population, then you'll realise that everyone cannot succeed legally.
So that your friend that did fraud but you did not join him or her because you thought there's something better somewhere, better swallow your pride and go back to him or her if they're still in the country anyway and like you enough to forgive and teach you.
The concept of right or wrong is relative to the circumstances in your environment, everyone won't have first class or second class upper, so what should others do, kill themselves
Do what you have to do then go legit, a time might come in this country or the world where only those that have money would be afforded rights
Most people that did fraud(yahoo yahoo) and other affiliated schemes would go on to live a very fulfilled life, don't be shocked when their kids or they themselves employ you, the hardworking citizens. E.g your politicians.
Get off your moral horse or moral high ground and observe the times you're in then act accordingly because times have changed.
You will definitely be a criminal, promoting fraud in a public forum. A day will come that you will pay dearly for your evil . Keep defrauding people. Remember you won't live till eternity, you will leave your I'll gotten wealth. Nairaland moderator should do something about these fraudulent characters, not allowing them using this platform to recruit innocent boys to join their evil ways
sukkot: Land is a living and breathing entity that has its own soul and spirit. There are programmed electromagnetic energies across every land on this planet and each area and country and state has its own electromagnetic program and as such the land is a living breathing entity because as humans we are a combination of soil and electromagnetic soul, same as the land. And because the land is a living and breathing entity it’s energy can be in agreement with a person who purchased it or the opposite case in which the energy of the land may not be in agreement with the person who purchased it and the land will spit you out and eventually vomit you out like the massive case going on in ABULE ADO where the land is vomiting out it’s buyers. Also in some cases the spirit of the land agrees with the spirit of the buyer but overtime the spirit of the buyer changes and then the land is not in agreement with what the buyer has become and then the land vomit’s out the person. As such you can never really own land. It is the land who chooses you and not the other way around and when your spirit no longer gels with the lands spirit the land will vomit you out
Also as stated earlier each land area has its own soul program which matches that of the tribe that God has designated that land to and so there is always going to be conflict between the land and owner if the owner is not from that tribe who the land is designated to. There is a spiritual conflict and this explains why immigrants are never really happy or fulfilled in other lands and always yearn to return back home. Nlfpmod mynd44 seun lawyer justwise
Complete nonsense. If you migrated to a new place and have the money, you buy even the whole country!! You will even live and die there in your old age and your children will inherit all what you've there
2mch: Yahoo boys hustle pass people that go to work and they earn much less over time. It is a waste of time, waste of youth and waste of your dignity. Plus you may end up having a bad reputation or going to prison. When you are old and no longer scam, most people don’t even want to do business with you because they don’t trust you.
All the guys who did Yahoo and were big boys during our time are dead broke and old now. They lack skills to even help themselves. All the small boys that went to school and worked are now earning much more money. They are the big boys of today. They follow the Yahoo boys flex but will not pick their call from Prison or their cries of hunger to feed their family.
Don’t waste your life on a life of crime, it has very short life span and it does not last or pay. You don’t want to be 50 and looking for who to scam to feed your family. Being arrested in all the police stations in the community after they have deported you and you lack any skills to survive. A lot are hungry and eventually pay for their crime by losing that money in a bad way. Only very few grow old and enjoy their money. Easy money does not last.
They are not smart, they are very dumb actually because smart people will see the consequences and flee. It’s not worth it in the long run and pay much less with too much energy to even make small money.
Good point you raised here , may God continue to give you more wisdom. Unlike one idiot up there claiming they are smarter.
Fight it out there o. Don't ever think of coming back to Nigeria till you stabilize there. Nigeria is still on autopilot, moving backward and a little forward. In 5 years time you will be happy that you leave this hell called a country. I wish you all the best in your endeavor. Please don't listen to all these naysayers on nairaland blaming you for leaving the hell hole. Most of them are not different from our greedy politician, they live flamboyantly on proceeds of sharp practices, corruption, fraud, etc and that's why they can't leave the country. Some of them who claimed they have businesses or investment here are mostly liars , their business practices are embodiment of corruption. As at today real business owners are lamenting. People are facing tough time now. We just pray it gets better. Just believe with time things will be better for you there. Don't ever look back to your vomit. Pursue your goals with unwavering commitment in the face of challenges.Face your new path and you will conquer your fear.
