Better... At least that would stop HND holders from being cheated when they do the same or even more work than their BSc. counterparts without getting recognised or promoted!

In my humble opinion, the national assembly should not have passed anything with regards the issue because no matter how they try, HND is not equivalent to Bachelors. The curriculum is not the same and the employment industries is also not the same if employment opportunities are readily available.

COREN will still not admit HND holders to Engineers register until they add a PGD. A Bachelors degree gets you on the Engineers register, HND gets you on the Technologist Register, OND gets you to the Technician register, and NABTEB, WASSC etc gets you on the craftsman register.

That's a system that the National assembly should not be interfering with. It is the responsibility of the ministry of education.

If both Bachelors and HND gets you to the Engineers register who then becomes a technologist.

Meanwhile, HND by training is designed to be employed as a technologist while the Bachelors is trained as an engineer. The best thing if they really wish to end the dichotomy is to abolish the HND and by implication the OND too. That is another complication arising.

How can there be a head on collision on a dual carriage road? Perhaps they were riding on a one way and the weary articulated driver was half asleep and couldn't tell if the blaring siren was in his dream or in reality


RIP to the dead

Dual carriage? Hmm, I am lost of words. You don't wanna travel on that road.

PS only a small part is Dual carriage.

Another ignoramus on tribal and hate steroid.

Total Blockage doesn't mean embargo on food coming from Nigeria.

If Northern Nigeria stop bringing agricultural produce to Lagos State, They can always import from Benin Republic, Ghana etc, but with total blockage of the border, it becomes impossible.

When Ojukwu led the Igbos to war, didn't he or his followers know that Igbo land is landlocked or that the sea that borders the south south is Nigerian waters where the Nigerian government rules over?

When Germans were sending their youth to WWII, they knew that they were sending their future generations to get killed and they improvised with a breeding plan. They had pure young German men and women producing pure German babies and taking care of them.

Igbo went to war without thinking of food supply. Today, Igbo's want war but forgetting Millions of their brothers in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Kaduna that have invested everything they have and could never have a life back home. These same brothers that will never go home are rooting for their brothers at home to go to war.

These are the same Igbos expecting to rule Nigeria but cannot form an alliance with either the Hausa or Yoruba! Politics 101: its a game of numbers, capisce!

I have a lot of respect for Igbo businesses and industry captains all over the world but when I think of what Igbos are doing to themselves politically, IT IS SUICIDE. Igbos need more brains on this.

IMASTEX:
Imagine! And yet the politicians feel indifferent about getting a lasting solution because their immediate family members are far away abroad, and they themselves are heavily guarded.

Me, I would like to hear your advise on what the government should do, especially the lasting solution.

Don't start with let's split Nigeria or restructuring.

MOTIONTECH:
lol...I remember when you opened this thread it was like painters dey cheat you now you are going back to them����

That's what you thought, but at the time, I had very different thoughts to yours.

Anyways, the car should be out of the paint shop by Friday. Been very busy of late and for the things I planned, you should understand that I had the time to play then but I no longer do. I even committed funds to it and hope to try it once my plate is cleared.

Don't even ask me for pictures cos I am also curious.

CaptainZubi:
I have my ticket already. Flight slated for next week. I decided to check out the domestic airport today and see things ahead of time but everything was so confusing . I tried asking one man i met at the departure entrance and he just dey squeez face like person wey never chop. I went back home empty handed. Everything is just confusing. Entering ezenwata , God is good or chisco no get wahala reach this .


I'll be travelling to Kano, when I enter the departure door, where should I go, what should I do. Abeg help my life, I'm just confused. Just describe the whole process for me. Also when I get to my destination what next.

Also in my ticket, I can see cabin book class YW. What does it mean.

pls help.

The best thing is to arrive the airport 2hrs ahead of flight time.

Once you enter the local departure you should see check-in or ask for directions from airport staff. Every airline has a check-in desk so get to your airline's desk and present your ticket. Ask the desk officer the next place but usually you should be heading to the security scanner. Make sure you don't leave money, liquids, sharp tools and lighter/matches in your carry on bag. They will direct you or wait and observe what others do.

Watch out for that moment that your carry on bag and container where your personal items are put into the scanner. The trick is that you have to watch your things every second, else, something could get lost here like magic. Mostly the target is cash since your name is not on it incase alarm blows.

After there na to sit and wait for the announcer to call the name of you airline destination.

FalseProphet1:
I see a similar thing happening in Nigeria. This I have seen.

This you so wish, you just have to falsely prophesy 1 similar thing.

Nacoss25:
Good morning everyone. I am a young man newly married to a 22 yr old lady. our marriage is just 2 months old.

Before I met my wife in 2019, she has this male best friend who they have been best friends even before I met her though my wife is a social and jovial person always cheerful, she easily makes friends wherever she finds herself that's her nature and kind of personality.

Right now her friendship with that her male friend is what am becoming uncomfortable with right now because of the so much attention she is lavishing on him. I have complained to her that I am not comfortable with her closeness with the guy but she is seeing it that am trying to cut her off from her friends.

One interesting part of the whole thing is, since we got married the guy has been trying to distance himself from her a bit knowing too well that she is now married but my wife is even the one doing all she could to keep the friendship going the way it has been going. 2 days ago I and my wife were together she called the guy complaining bitterly how he has been distancing himself from her.

My people what do you think I should do to cut down that connection or will the friendship grow week by the day on it's own? My wife is refusing to understand that in marriage there are things u will have to let go.

Give am belle ahead ahead, 2 children in 3 years. She no go get any time for any male friend nonsense.

zeenaman:
I would like to hear from experienced couples here. 19th of this month made it two months since I've been married, yet my wife has not conceived. I'm getting a bit worried. We have intercourse all through her ovulation, though we plan on seeing the doctor this week.

Could you render advice as well as share your experience here? How long did it take you or your wife to conceive after marriage?

My wife and I agreed to not conceive in the first 6months of our marriage. However, 1 day after wedding, na condom I go use? Nah! I poured it inside. Na so e con dey happen for a month straight. We just assumed that the six months was not going to happen and we expected her to be pregnant that month but nothing. 3 months later, her blood pressure dey rise due to fear. Na marathon sex for me oh until I went to the website babycenterdotcom. I recommended the site to 3 friends in the same situation and all got pregnant in less than 2 months.

[quote author=Rikkely post=101925070][/quote]She even had the effrontery to say he slapped her in public, did she ask him to wash plates in private?

BonPatrick:
A mother of two who pleaded anonymity has taken to social media to ask members of the public whether it was wrong to ask her husband to do the dishes.
According to her, her husband lost his business to scam and she has been the one catering for the family with the little she earns from her restaurant business.
She said: “Truly, My husband was the one who opened the restaurant for me, I cook very well and I still do my cooking by myself as I only direct my staffs on what to do.My husband lost his business to scam and since then it’s been me carrying the responsibilities, most of my staffs left because I could not pay them and at some point, all of them left and I had to do everything by myself.

“My husband is doing nothing yet, he just sits at home and maybe go pick the kids from school and all, so yesterday I had lots of customers in the shop, I was doing everything by myself, so as soon as my husband walked in, I asked him to help me rush to wash a few plates while I serve, and he looked at me in some strange way, I repeated myself and he slapped me in public, and walked out.

“I ignored the embarrassment and even most of my customers left, when I got home I noticed that he moved his things, I called his phone and he said he is in his friends place till he gets a job he will come home, that I should take care of the kids.

“He cut the call I tried to call and the next he blocked me.

“What did I do wrong, who is supposed to be upset? I just need to clear my conscience.”

If that woman waits for someone to tell her what she did wrong, I would advise the husband not to come home even after he finds a job.

Simplyleo:
Jonathan, why? I say why?

Don't tell me you are tired of praises from shildren of 8, anger, frustration and perdition.

Just yesterday, we understand Anambra state workers are suffering heavy deduction from their salaries. Are you now by any chance trying to exonerate Buhari from that?

We also understand Enugu doesn't have water for the past 30 years, so you mean that is the fault of Enugu state govt instead of Buhari?

A former Chief Judge in Anambra state, Rtd. Justice Paul Obidigwe, was attacked on Sunday with houses burnt, so this is not Buhari's fault?

Oga gej,pls be careful.

Check this trim

Who is talking about trims and spoilers?

I will choose the Accord even with blindfold

Guys, I am typing from the phone. I was able to wipe it using the recovery mode. I then used WiFi to log in to my Google account. Entering the recovery mode was a hassle.

I just wonder why they will not provide the Google option when you don't have the right password only to allow you after you have wiped the phone.

See as I dey enjoy typing, my Xiaomi screen had serious ghost touches that tormented my life and the Chinese AliExpress seem to have sent me a bad screen purposely. By the way, Samsung was my first choice, Xiaomi was.

It's a simple 4 digit PIN which I can't forget. It gets me angry thinking how I night have typed the wrong pin wrong twice in the same way

Tccomms:
You can simply reset your pin if you have a samsung account and it's linked to your phone

I only logged in my Google account and nothing else, it's a brand new phone with nothing inside, not even sim card.

Got a new Samsung phone today, I logged only my Gmail account through wifi. I setup fingerprint but had to set up a pin and confirmed the pin. I subsequently added two fingers then switched off to charge.

When I got 100% I turned it on and it asked me for the pin for first logging after restart, to my bewilderment, my pin was wrong. This Pin that I typed twice and it is the same pin in this phone I am typing with.

Now, I don't know-how to enter recovery mode.

I am not sure I can sleep this night

In my life, I only met one girl who practically begged me to utter the 3 words. She was in my house all ready to get down on that condition but I insisted "I liked her". The relationship ended there. When we call or chat, she asked me same thing and I gave same answer.

This thing wey you talk dey pain me, people should stop buying Honda

Mrfintec:
I changed my car oil early Feb, it has covered over 28,000 mileages.

28000 miles! Na moon you go? More like 2800 miles.

For most cars, the manual recommends 7500 to 10,000 miles, but that is for using recommended engine oil and filter which in most cases will be synthetic or synthetic blend. Surely, you will not be using the recommended oil.

So if using mineral oil (conventional oil) it is advised to go ½ way 3500 miles but if using synthetic blend 5000-6000 and if synthetic 7500-10,000 miles. Remember that filters are in grades too, you don't want to risk 10,000 miles on a N500 filter. If a filter blocks, the effect is worst than using same oil for 28000 miles.

The next APC presidential candidate is as good as the winner in the number one citizen race.

You know why?

Because where I come from votes don’t count.

The only way out of this national quagmire is the dissolution (peacefully or by warfare) of this shameful trinity that can never unite.[/quote]You know perfectly well that this country can't divide peacefully, that means you should prepare for war.

IamNumeroUno:
I also feel Nigeria is better off separated.
But in the case that this doesn't happen by 2023, then we must use the next option, PVC.

That you are even think about it means you are delusional.

Do you think the government will fold it's arms to allow the country divide.

Let me tell you the fact, the North is 1 indivisible entity, the SW is a follower of that indivisible entity. The SS isn't following the SE to neverland. The SE remains alone in the quest for a state, that means SE should prepare for civil war. Besides, more than a quarter of the population of SE is outside doing business and hustling, non of which is willing to go back home. However, these Igbo guys in Lagos, Kano, Kaduna and everywhere join their online brothers to rain insults on whoever has ears without even thinking it through.

How is it possible that Nigeria will break peacefully without the suspension of the constitution. The constitution made even creation of a local government nearly impossible, how much more a country. Abi na military coup una dey plan, that will result in worst case than the 1966 "July rematch"

Anyone thinking Nigeria will break is living in denial.

PissfulProtester:
You can't see cos you are shortsighted.. Elections will hold and a winner will emerge...can even be the APC presidential candidate..

The PDP strongholds are under one hunchback albino's command, and as long as he lives, he would want to flex his muscles by saying 'no erections in all s/East states:..This command will be strictly followed by his dumb followers. I hope you know this is a big minus for the evil party, PDP

Secondly, with the way the Igbos are badly behaved of recent, it will be easy for the ruling party to play ethnic cards. I will tell you categorically again,..any candidate the Igbos support won't win eRection in Nigeria

Please tell them, their bad behavior and lack of foresight is.intriguing.

Op him self sounds like Igbo.

ratiken:
2.6M = 5.3k USD.... I don't think Nigerians fully understand what Buhari has done.

If your earning is naira... forget it, you have lost so much value. The average Nigerian millionaire aint rich.

When you guys mention Buhari, I wonder if you guys don't understand economics.

Well before Buhari thought he could actually win and become president, NOK warned against the inevitable. Buhari had not finished receiving economic briefing before the country went into recession. At the same time our major source of income took the biggest hit since the oil boom of the 70's, when oil prices fell to the record lowest.

It will be better to say Buhari came with bad luck but being unreasonable is the very thing that confuses me.

Caveat: I hold no brief for Buhari's inactions, slow actions and no actions. I expected him to be on top of his toes especially with insecurity and corruption.

I call a spade a spade.

Jashub:
I am sorry to say, but you do not sound like a civil engineer and secondly, I do not believe civil engineering in Nigeria is lucrative because we have alot of foreign expatriates who do the bulk of the civil engineering activities in the country.

You need to be ann Engr to understand, most of those expats you see are Project
managers, CEOs or COOs. Those who do the actual work are Project Engrs and you will not find expats at that level

Alexis11:
Lol... delusion.

What is delusional here?

I am a Civil Engr and have so many colleagues, my brother in-law is a pharmacist, I have 2 cousins as pharmacist and almost married one.

I have an elder relative who is a Civil Engr, he did a job worth N20m but was not paid for 7yrs, he was broke having difficulty in paying house rent but his N20M was paid one day. He became his own landlord in less than 3 months.

What kind of job will a pharmacist do to be paid N5m in a day?

The bottom Civil Engrs earn lower than pharmacists but the middle and upper civil engrs cannot be compared in terms of income to pharmacists.

Even Medical Drs don't earn as much as Civil Engrs in the peak of their careers.

My uncle is a top Consultant Gynecologist, who has been a Dean faculty of medicine. I wrote Jamb in his house but today what I earn is just shy of his.

It is easier for an average Civil Engr to start a business and earn 100m than for a pharmacist or even a Medical Dr

syrecookie:
Which of these course guarantees a better life after graduation?

Ps: I have passion for medicine and surgery but I don't want to pursue that passion cause of the length and complications of studying it in Nigeria. So I am looking for a better alternative in either pharmacy or civil engineering, please I really need your sincere opinions(preferably from experts in either fields).
Need something lucrative in Nigeria and abroad(the money is needed oo, studying in Nigeria is hard enough).

To succeed in Civil engineering, you must be enterprising and an entrepreneur. Once good in all 3 skill set, you are sure to hammer better than a Pharmacist

Runtown07:
My 2004 model EOD short engine oil, I don't know why., hv taken it to 2 different mechanic, the last one ask me to buy oil seal, buy this guy that, but no improvement, but the car accelerate very well, with calm engine sound when ignite and also doesn't smoke and sook plugs, but the last mechanic told me, it could be smoking inside the engine, how possible is that., please house help me with idea to stop this., I spend so much money buying oil to top it to gauge., thanks.

I bought my 2003 Accord in 2014, it was shorting oil since then and it's still shorting oil now and I have done over 100,000 miles on it. It úsed to be small but the shortage is high now without any visible dropping on the floor.

You just have to make do with it. Just check for PCV valve blockage, that's what most mechanics would not know but don't expect it to stop entirely.

Also more than a liter short in 1000 miles is considered much, that's close to like 4litre in one service cycle or 3500 miles
