Another one for Oyo.

That means APC already has two senatorial districts in their kitty. Oyo North and Oyo Central.

The origin of the whole discuss is not fat pay unless you are saying the job of a road cleaner actually brings fat pay check.

Your business is not big enough so concentrate on it! If I may shock you I own my own store and I make sales and generate reasonable income as a side hustle. So, stop assuming you are off the scale (I can see it is in your DNA always assuming you are better than others).

I can see your level of reasoning and public communication. Do me a favor and learning where appropriate! Americana..Lol

I thought I warned you not to mention me anymore you lowlife piece of shyyt. You sound so condescending and foolish. No be your fault, but like I said earlier if you think you are the shyt, I challenge you to embrace entrepreneurship and pay your fellow graduate a fat paycheck you dumb funk. Go and borrow a loan if you have to, and set up whatever business of your choosing, and then walk the talk by actually hiring and paying graduates a fat paycheck. Until you take up that challenge you are just talking crap like the dumb biitch you are.

If you had any sense in you you would not talk shyt about me being an entrepreneur getting unemployed Nigerians off the streets. Your biitchh ass obviously knows absolutely nothing about running a business and the risk inherent in being an employer of labour who has to keep business running and handle payroll in the face of challenges, that is why you have the nerve to run your dirty mouth and try to dictate fat paychecks. Morafocka like you.

How many graduates have you uplifted in your sorry and miserable life you stoopid prick? I am proud to be an employer of labour who pays above minimum wage daily to unemployed Nigerians who aren't afraid to earn a decent and honest buck. They would rather work than do Yahoo or beg. I am sure you are one of those that would rather see your fellow Nigerian beg than see them work as cleaners. Ain't no shame in my game, punk. Even conglomerates like Mcidees in the almighty u.s.a still pay minimum wage to their employees so what the funk are you yapping about how much I pay my workers?

For the last time your biitchh ass better stay off my mention.

E be like say dem don use lie-lie swear for you bloggers o. She addressed the man as her husband yet you changed that to baby-daddy just to get traffic? Smh.

Mac2016:
Lol. That you have lived in America doesnt give you any authority on any subject as you claimed. It is your brain that you needs to function better!

I can read it all over you that the same mentality that people that are first to cross the Atlantic ocean in their families have is what you are speaking with. Most times they condescendingly look at people in Africa as plague. Mister, you are very WRONG!

If we, Nigerians, are product of failed system. Really? In your mouth too? In what way are you better?

Who blames a student for not having what to learn and not that he/she was not willing to learn it? In the first instance, he/she paid school fees for a purpose, so is it the student's fault that he/she wasnt trained as adequate as he/she should?

What you made look bad is that a Nigerian graduate was trained and learnt well? Is it not a pride to even have a trainable mind against all the odds in the system? As per CSR, the employers too as acted in complicity with government, suck milk out of the system and give nothing back (you will agree with me tat companies abroad dont do so). Now, that they are crying foul is what they need to look into for correction.

It is staggering that you subscribe to such a "junk".

In short words, I can tell you with authority that Egina FPSO is what you need to go see. Utorogu AG/NAG is another gas plant built by autochthonous Engineers. So, I wonder what made Nigerian Engineers unemployable.

I have worked with crops of professionals in my field both on Offshore and Onshore Engineering deliverables I dont know what I can actually refer that would make you feel not on par with your contemporaries around the world if you are well given to studies.

O boy, that you employ people that you paying a paltry sum of less than 10k per week is nothing to gallivant about in the real Nigerian environment. May be in your village, bro.

Moreso, if things were working well for you abroad as a cleaner or menial jobber that you were there, you wouldnt have been back in the midst of a failed system and people who you considered their graduates mediocres with your little good for nothing mind.

Receive Sense!

I have structural design calculations to complete!

You don't get it, and you will never get it. Perhaps you should walk the talk by venturing unto entrepreneurship and then proceed to pay your graduate employees that above minimum wage fat paycheck you feel they are entitled to, But until then would you please shut the funck up and quit knocking the hustle of the real MVPs who aren't scared to get they hands dirty or beg to feed. And please do me a favour and quit mentioning me because I'm allergic to smarty pant punks. Thanks in advance.

Mac2016:
On a fact check. How many job creators do we have? Even in the countries you would like to use as reference. If we all create jobs who will now do the created jobs. And if what you called entitlement mentality is when someone gets qualified, get hired and delivering quality service then you need a rethink. In my opinion you have committed no crime if you render quality service and get paid for it. Stop glorifying a failed system!

You see, it's not your fault that you have this twisted orientation that you are exhibiting, really. I am an employer of labour myself, on a contractual basis, and pay 5 workers (+ one manager) no less than N1,500 each on a daily basis, 6 days a week, and have lived in the united states for over a decade so I think I have the requisite exposure and therefore am very qualified to speak with some measure of authority on this subject.

Seems you are a product of a failed educational system that wrongly inculcates a sense of entitlement in you all in the name of obtaining a university education. Making you go through a university system that seldom equips you with any practical or marketable skills in preparation for the outside/real world, so much so that most Nigerian employers lament that Nigerian graduates are unemployable after graduation (ironically it is those same crop if graduates that exhibit this attitude of entitlement upon graduation).

And in actual fact, most Nigerian graduates still have to be retrained by their prospective employer before being trusted to perform on the job (this training comes at an extra cost to the employer). Meaning that fresh graduates are of little practical value to the average employer fresh out of the university system.

Get off your high horse and go learn a skill or become an entrepreneur yourself if you are really serious about adding value to yourself and society at large because society doesn't owe you a job just because you are a graduate.

Mac2016:
I cringed at your mention of "entitlement mentality" in your article quoted above. Is this what you called that?
Well that aside...

You clearly forgot that some jobs are better left than taken else they shut down your thinking faculty apart from other grave hazards attached to being on the road with little or no safety gadgets to avoid accidents.
When I was jobless I quickly started teaching. From one tutorial to the other. IJMB to SSCE/JAMB to Cambridge exam prep class to private tutoring. I did this to free up my time with enough flexibility to look for other means while the former suffices.
Graduate shd think out better alternatives than taking up hazardous road cleaning jobs. Arrant nonsense

You are a perfect poster boy for the entitlement mentality I spoke about. Nobody owes you any job with a fat paycheck just because you have a university degree or simply because you are a graduate. Not in Nigeria, not anywhere else. But if you think you deserve a fat paycheck then go ahead and create opportunities for yourself rather than sitting on your ass waiting for savy entrepreneurs to go through the grind of building their successful businesses just so you can stroll in and take a plum position in their company simply because you are a graduate. The world has evolved beyond that my guy so you better wake up and smell the coffee. The Masters degree of today is the Bsc of yesterday because there are way too many degreed graduates than there are jobs to absorb them so quit flattering yourself by looking down on those that are realistic and not too proud enough to get something doing to earn a decent living.

I know graduate females who drive 'hazardous' keke napep today and are taking home no less han 5k per day and meeting their financial needs while other able-bodied glorified graduates are still roaming the streets or sitting at home lamenting and sulking about lack of jobs as if anybody owes them a job. Like seriously.

If you really feel entitled to that great job with a fat pay because you a graduate then be man enough to CREATE that job and pay yourself what you feel you deserve, because nobody owes you a job my friend.

ajibolag:
I can obviously see that you are shortsighted. A cleaner compared to a teacher? In as much as I think you are stupid, there's still room for improvement in you.

And please, you should learn how to argue, discuss and convey your contradicting opinion in a civilized manner. What's the meaning of all the aforementioned abusive and provocative words? You need to grow up.

For the last time will you shut the fuuccckk up and quit sounding stoopid? How many jobless graduates have you taken off the streets via employment and offered that dream job with a fat pay check? If none, then you have no right to pick and choose for anybody. Na you dey feed them? Abeg bounce jor and don't you ever quote me again because I am allergic to dumb people.

ajibolag:
Ogbeni, don't let me descend on you. I'd rather take a teaching job and earn 25k than start sweeping the streets for a salary of 30k or less

Reasons, as I teach I learn more. It is a waste of my parents money, resources, my time and energy to graduate and start sweeping the streets of a country in I'm an elite citizen.

You better increase your level of critical reasoning.

Guy, free me and Bleep off my mention cos you sound stuupeed. So you are ok with being a teacher yet you have the nerve to condemn someone else who chooses to be a graduate cleaner? Shove your elitism down your stinking ass and allow those that want to work to work unless you are ready to feed them, you dumb Bleep.

ajibolag:
Alaye, it's either you have a good job or you have no idea about job market in this country.
Dignity in underemployment?
Dignity in underpaid jobs?
No let me swear for you oo

No problem na. You are free to stay/remain broke while complaining about being jobless and still eating your parents food. Na your choice but don't come here knocking other folks that are more pragmatic about the job market and are not too proud or afraid to work and earn a living no matter how small.

And what is wrong with being a cleaner? There are barely enough jobs to go around yet some people are looking down on some type of jobs. Smh. Nigerians and their entitlement mentality. Una no mind to go do cleaner work and other so-called 'dirty' jobs abroad in spite of all una university degrees but here in Nigeria una go dey form. There is dignity in honest labour biko. It's better to work as a cleaner and work your way into something bigger and better than begging or crying about being jobless and hungry.

----
And for the rest of you mentioning me and talking crap, y'all are free to stay/remain broke while complaining about being jobless and still eating your parents' food as unemployed glorified graduates, waiting for that 'befitting' job that will never come while you grow gray hairs in your father's house. Na your choice but don't come here knocking other folks that are more pragmatic about the job market and are ready and not too proud to work to earn a living no matter how small.

BOOMnaija:
BECAUSE HE IS A MUSLIM....SIMPLE

And Atiku is what? A Christian?

Atiku is obviously frustrated and jittery because APC is just disarming all their tactics one by one. First Onnoghen, now ballot snatching. Poor Atiku.

post=75877120:
We are ready for them!

Have you seen their knee-jerk/defensive reaction to Buhari's comment against ballot box snatching? Guilty conscience is written all over it.

The security agencies should all be on high alert because PDP must not be allowed to successfully deploy their infamous rigging template again this time around. This desperate gang of looters are so afraid of their own shadows that they are ready to rig blindly even in their own supposed strongholds. Nigerians should take note and resist their antics.

Davido should tone down on the hubris and arrogance. It's getting too much.

modath:
Cos they can't win popular votes....Forget the media noise, Like Segun Sowunmi & Ballard leak has impressed, they don't have the numbers.

The result coming from the north, they want/plan to load from South to be able to measure up at least... PDP is in a state of panic, all we see is just boju boju.

Hmm... True that. Without extensive rigging in the SS/SE, Atiku will certainly not get anything close to GEJ's numbers in the South. That's just the truth.

Hmm.. I'm seeing an ugly pattern here. First it was Abia (a PDP state) where a man was caught in possession of already written results. Now Rivers (another PDP state). PDP wetin dey shele?? I thought those states are PDP strongholds so why the urge to rig??

Smh. Indeed. Obviously some ipobs are trying to rehabilitate Kanu's battered image. lol. Una eye go soon clear.

Smh. Some people too dey carry dis election matter too personal.

Lol. How did 'declaring himself president' work for Raila Odinga of Kenya? Or DRC's Fayulu? Some of you Atiku fanatics seem to be losing it. Declare himself president indeed.

cucumbae:
Was his allegation false?

He might as well just pull out of the race because the PDP are already pretty much conceding that the odds are stacked against them. I think they (PDP) never expected to win via the ballot anyway because they know beating Buhari would be a tough nut to crack, and were rather hoping to get into AsoRock via the courts (the Onoghen option). But it's like all their plans are unraveling before their very eyes. The next 48-hrs may prove to be the most excruciating for PDP e-warriors. Y'all better brace yourselves. And whatever you do, please stay away from Sniper. Please.

PDP will never accept the result as long as it doesn't favour them, no matter how free and fair.

Fake news propaganda in full swing. Expect more within the next 24-hrs.

The amount of fake news/results and incitement that will rend the air tomorrow will be unprecedented.

There aren't enough PVCs in PDP supporters hands to unseat Buhari. That is just the honest truth.

https://punchng.com/fake-news-could-be-nigerias-biggest-threat-to-credible-elections-report/

Published February 15, 2019

The perceived threat posed by fake news to the successful conduct of the 2019 elections in Nigeria has come to the fore.

A report describing Nigeria as “the capital of fake news” also noted that the issue is now Africa’s growing digital security threat.

A report published by the Wall Street Journal notes that in the run-up to the 2019 general elections starting on Saturday, February 16th, the nation has had to grapple with what it calls “fake-news epidemic,” which has also traversed the African continent.

“The problem has become so acute that the government of Africa’s most populous nation has warned that misinformation could be the biggest threat to credible elections,” WSJ reports.

It added that the Police now use radio broadcasts and telephone hotlines to counter misinformation.

Continuing, the medium reported that the Federal Government has said that sharing of fake images along with incorrect and inflammatory commentary have led to deaths in certain parts of the country.

“Fake news has upended elections across the globe but found particularly fertile ground in Africa, where 54 countries, more than 1,000 languages and chronically underfunded local media, complicate efforts to combat the spread of rumours and misinformation,” WSJ said.

The medium particularly mentioned Facebook and its WhatsApp messaging platform as two platforms on which fake news thrives, exacerbating already “tense ethnic, political, religious and social divides.”

The medium reported that Peter Cunliffe-Jones, an executive director at Africa Check, one of Facebook’s three third-party fact-checking partners in Nigeria, said, “Misinformation has the potential to do a huge amount of social harm, harm to individuals and harm to society in ways more seriously than we see in U.S. and Europe.”

WSJ lamented that, so far, the fact-checking is no match for the pace of social media.

And though the Facebook said it was focusing on disrupting “bad actors,” in part by removing fake accounts, it confessed that there’s no one silver bullet,, as attested by its public-policy manager for African elections, Akua Gyekye.
