I like this
Even with this some motorist deliberately drive restlessly just so u bash dem mistakenly.
Nd majority of us didn't go driving sch

It takes a lot of restrain to get it right.

What do you even do when someone overtakes you only park in front of you without trafficating?

dickt:
When sb wears a tie, is it the person you find on the tie or it is the tie you find on the person? How could you say sb is ON top of a tie that is actually on his neck?
.
That's how people like you say "Men on black" instead of Men in Black even though you knw there's an American movie titled Men in Black.Do Nigerians think Americans are less proficient in English than us?
.
It's so annoying when Nigerians turn English upside down.Really shameful.

2 those of you who'll be offended that I pointed out the error & wish 2 hit back, f**k you!

I would have felt happier if you said something about the post in addition to the correction.

Jarus:
1 I have done this a couple of times, but have stopped doing it. Before, I didn't care. Now, I feel some guilt. I try to be a good, law-abiding Nigerian these days. But more critically, the fear of accident from driving against the normal direction has made me more patient.

2, I agree with you. Being patient and orderly pay. Everyone benefits.

3-4N I agree with you.

I'm now a born-again road user.

Aww, oga Jarus

femi4:
At times I saved more than an hour by driving against the traffic. Infact, I saved fuel. In lag, you are condemned to drive against traffic once in a while

Were there times you wasted more than 2 hours because you drove against traffic?

Nice

Front page please

jomoh:
A very flawed evidence.
Anybody could use any name for lodgement.
Judge please strike it out already

At least the accused can tell us who paid 15 m into his account. The person should be ready to answer. Truth is, the aid didn't deny doing such a thing or has not denied it yet.

dearpreye:
We just need serious enlightenment, education, enactment and enforcement.

You are on the money....

dearpreye:
That's the problem. We are just incapable of separating politics with governance. I hardly come back home without being angry over the primitive pattern of driving on PH roads plus those rickety and old vehicles running around. The society is crazy but it's not impossible to fix. We have experts in these fields but the system has NO space for such.

It won't take me more than a year to effectively manage PH traffic situation. It won't.

I'm sure it will happen.

dearpreye:
Impatience is occasioned by uncertainty on the road. If we all know everyone will behave on their ends and that traffic will flow naturally, our impatience will reduce.

We learned all these crazy habits over the years. We can unlearn them. And we can replace them with better habits.

Every little helps. I hope one person will through this medium rethink. Everybody on the road is the other person for another person.

lekankolade:
all these are caused by impatient......at times when I see a driver overtook me while am still on queue due to traffic but trying to maintain a single lane and unfortunately the car happen to be the one that blocked the only free lane.... I do wish I can bash that car hardly without my own car been affected

Impatience it is and you are very right but then impatience is a virtue no man should be proud of.

dearpreye:
Humans aren't fools. They study their environment and act accordingly. They simply apply their conclusions from their studies and observations.

Nigeria us weak when it comes to consistent enforcement of laws and allowable standards.

If a person is sure he's gonna get way with routine traffic violations, they will seek to continue it.

I've driven against traffic on two occasions and I felt so awkward and extremely selfish. I've stopped that primitive and selfish ever since.

If we must sanitise this madness, then the government must come put really hard and firm about it. People only obey enforced laws.

Yes. you are right. The govt has to be resolute but the problem is, the govt is made up of people from among us.

I have been wondering for a long time why certain things happen on our roads. I have long wanted to create this thread out of my experience and observations of what happen on our roads but somehow, I have not been able till today. My questions are

1. How do you really feel when you deliberately drive against traffic knowing very well that you will obstruct traffic flow on the opposite lane?

Have you tried to check the amount of time you gained by breaking traffic laws?

2. Do you really feel stupid or happy when a lot of motorists are kept at a standstill because of your selfish decision? Do you know that apart from gridlocks resulting from bad spots on the road or police's N50 tolls, most gridlocks result from selfish decisions of people like you who are well dressed and are on long ties.

3. Do you know that when you patiently queue in your right lane that the gridlock clears faster than when you try to cut corners? It is possible that you may escape if you are the first to start the madness but those who follow after you will end up closing up the road. You could be among those trapped on a different day.

4. Are you one of those who drive against traffic in a 4 lane road even when your side of the road is devoid of traffic or roadblocking pothole just because you won't bother to drive up to to a U-turn before you turn to get to where you can branch off the road? You end up flashing your headlamp at on-coming vehicles who are not expecting any intruders in your mould? The funny thing is that most times, the time it will take you to do the right thing would be just less than 2 minutes.

Do we just enjoy breaking laws or we prefer to be chased around? Do not come here to tell me that police do the same. Yes they do the same because they are selected from among us. Do you have to do it because others are doing it? What right do you have to criticize the government when you cannot do little required of you?

Always remember that when we do things right on the road, we save more time than when we do the wrong thing. Always remember that the happiness and 'less stress' you feel in developed countries is because majority of the citizens choose to do the right thing.

When we break traffic laws, we impose stress on ourselves and other road users who will have to adjust to accommodate your careless and selfish conduct.

Oya bring it on

Moderators, I will actually like to hear what many Nigerians think when they drive on our roads

Vanquay:
Op you don forget say women Enjoy it too. Some even consider it a sin if you dont. Besides it makes your child strong. Right from Birth Him go know say him get Competition. LIFE ISN'T FAIR I have always wondered what Breast milk tastes like. Am adding it to my Bucket List

Hilariously epic...

Don't quit your job. You didn't fire him. You can only be if help. You can find your own accommodation. Try talking with him to see what he thinks about you and his sack....DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOB.

He has fulfilled his ministry in the establishment which is to bring you in. He will get a job somewhere else.

Lundii:
That's gud. But my pain is why should I use fork and knife and not spoon.

Why would you use spoon and not hand?

barcanista:
Is the value of the Naira really appreciating in the real sense or the CBN and the FG are playing pranks on Nigerians? Why are commodities still high in the market?

Ideal Situation
Ideally, customers operating domiciliary accounts will go to the banks, deposit their dollar and through that account they do whatever transaction that they deem necessary. The Banks inturn will take the dollars(and other foreign currencies) to the CBN.

The Buhari/Emefiele Situation
1. The CBN has stopped receiving dollars from banks, as a result the banks has stopped accepting dollars at the counter because their vaults are full.

2. Because of the restriction at 1(above) the demand for dollar reduces in the BDC. The BDCs seek every means to trade the currency including reducing the cost at the black market. The CBN will go to the press to scream "NAIRA IS APPRECIATING."

3. As a result of 1(above) the banks also refuse to request dollars from the CBN's foreign exchange reserve. The CBN will then come out to scream "RESERVE IS GROWING".

Is that the best way to manage the naira?

Salient Question and Effects:
1. What happens to a businessmen with domiciliary account seeking to deposit dollars and transfer to their partners abroad after buying the dollar from BDC or Bank?

2. The bank's refusal to accept dollar deposit means business transaction on that will be halted. Because no domiciliary account holder will be willing to withdraw from his account when he knows that he won't be able to make further deposit due to the CBN's policy except if his intention is solely for converting the dollar to naira for local transaction.

3. Instead of doing transactions from domiciliary account, businessmen will be left with no choice but to operate domiciliary account in neighbouring countries where they will be making transactions or resort to wiring money via Western Union in neighboring country.

4. As a result of 3(above) the cost of commodities will go UP because businesses will make up for the extra expenses. Also, that will mean reduction in business activities in the banks.

5. Should the above persist it will get to a certain point where there will be scarcity of the dollar in the market. When it get to that point, the dollar rate is astronomically shooooooot up in the market because demand will outweigh supply. At this point, the naira problem will be worse than it was.

Is The Naira Really Appreciating?
Make no mistake, the naira-dollar rate is yet to appreciate in the international market. As at May 29 the naira/$ rate was N199 in the market. The rate as at today Aug 5, 2015 is still N199. You can't appreciate a currency via the backdoor. Even the black market rate cannot be regulated through the back door.

What "Sane" Countries Does:
The CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele made it look like one can't deposit foreign currencies in cash in another country. This is contrary to the facts on ground. No country will shut down foreign currencies transactions in banks. Let me give two instances...

On February 27, 2015, the Central Bank of Egypt instituted a new policy to help the Egyptian pound. As part of the policy, Individuals and businesses are allowed a maximum of $10,000(or equivalent) deposit daily and $50,000(or equivalent) monthly. The measure would stop companies from buying large amounts of dollars from the black market and then depositing them briefly in banks in order to open letters of credit for imports.

In China the maximum daily deposit/withdrawal of foreign currencies is $10,000(or equivalent).

Is it not better to place a transactional limit for foreign currencies than discourage deposit completely(that will solve nothing)?
We don't produce, we import, we have no policy to promote local production nor infrastructures in place toencourage manufacturers, yet we expect the naira to appreciate. That is no done anywhere.


I will be glad to get the views of others.


God Bless Us All

Physical fiscal policies like it was in 1984 comes to mind. The lightening is striking twice and it is a bad omen. MizMyColi, I'm here and I know this guy has come again with his abracadabra economics. We are watching!

Buhari should follow in line, Naira has lost so much in value within just 2 months

PROUDLY 5%

Yes if my office is a club

Oh boy!

Flyoruboy:
GEJ himself may not have stolen much of any thing, however it is clear that he was weak and therefore allowed or turned a blind eye as his aides and ministers plundered the country. Think the infamous "corruption is not stealing" gaffe.

So is your GMB. 25 B was stolen from PTF under his watch. OBJ who probed his time confirmed. "I asked baba if he benefited from the loot personally and he said no. And I said too, you are not corrupt" comedians.

iyisco2001:
Ok, I humbly accept, but, from an idea of unilag and UI, your tuition won't be more than 200grand, even with extra semester(unilag is 90k per session, UI is around 120 first session, 60 second session), projects all depend on your supervisor as you have rightly pointed out. But most time, the 100k plus covers for it all. Thanks for the criticism though.

Espeaklekwa! 100k is OK for for a standard Engineering and science-based undergraduate project in this 2015. It could be more.

PassingShot:
It is. Any contrary opinion is appreciated.
Besides, we're talking of two months here.

Counter the points raised or ...... you know nah.

You shouldn't have started this thread to be honest. You listed bail out as an achievement?

You mentioned our international image? We have been made a laughing stock by Buhari.

White house was surprised that he fixed a visit in a haste without putting together any reasonal economic policy. He went US to spend $2.2b on a jamboree that brought no success.

How do you guys think? Reasonable APC supporters like theV0ice have stopped commenting because they are not impressed.

This your thread is funny to be honest.

Refinery: he said he can't take credit, do you think he will accept credit for NEPA? Yet listed all those as his achievements.

My advice, run away from this thread or beg the moderators to close it. Tell them you made a mistake. Ishilove will understand.

adonismuller:
sorry to ask,research/academics,do you mean I shld do somtin based on research? I plan on doing structures, do you think that will be too expensive?

Please how can one allow a program run more than expected? Is it by failing a course? I intend doin it full time though.


Thanks for your contribution bro.

Your project is a research. You propose to do stuff that no one has done or to find out what will happen if some variables are changed. For instance, if you the normal practice is to use XY in building roads, will using XYZ make the road stronger... Or maybe pouring certain chemical on fragile untarred road will eliminate the need for asphalting. You will have to test the idea. It is not certain. You will have do the costing of what you want to do.

Staying extra year may due to many factors
1. You are not serious with the work.
2. Your supervisor doesn't have time for you
3. The project you started failed or you made a mistake
4. You could not get a certain research material delivered on time etc.

After dis e-diots will come and shout "wailing-wailers".... We the wail well well.... But dem go waill pas us...

They are wailing now. If you see how they jump IP here if GMB seem to get something right, you will understand how frustrated they are. One of my colleagues today could not argue. He was just trying to mention my attack points before I could use them. They are in for a long ride

Well...for doz of u dat even supported him.... This clown's too old...and he's not even helping himself... He's busy travelling up and down... Laughing at every jokes dat Obama cracks at whitehouse....

Haha, me support #babaonechance? I am too intelligent to fall for the con men in APC

WHERE IS MY SEARCHLIGHT?

iyisco2001:
You really need to decide yourself, can u handle business, then go for it. Msc will cost you around 300k, about certification in civil engineering, I am not really familiar. But, try and see if you can get internship to gain some work experience. Remember, only you know your capabilities, in this kind of situation, only you can advise yourself, best of luck.

How did you arrive at 300k?

The cost of a masters training will depend on
1. Tuition
2. Time of completion
3. Type project

Tuition is a constant which can increase in multiples of 2, 3 if you allow your programme to run more than the minimum number of sessions allowable for your programme. For instance, if you do not finish under 1 year, you will pay for the next academic session.

Engineering projects are capital intensive. The cost of getting your materials and the cost of the materials; the cost of seminars and a whole lot.

You can limit this cost if have a good proposal and a good supervisor meaning that you know what you are doing. However there is no guarantee that your experiment will work out in first attempt. Go into research/academics if it is your passion if not .......

Goodluck
