OMOSOFEF:
You will make money selling tomatoes
Ask people across the Niger and they will tell you how tomatoes
rot away there.

The demand for tomatoes far outweighs the supply in the south, Lagos, Port, even Abuja, Ilorin

Let me tell you how much you can make from this business drawing from my experience.

A basket of Tomatoes sells for 1400 naira to 1600 naira from the farmers



A basket in Lagos sells for 4000,

Gain on one basket = 4000-1600=2400

Total gain on 500 baskets= 500 x 2400 = 12 0 00000



Expenses

1 finders fee 20000

2 baskets at 250 = 250 x 500 = 125000

3 loading = 10,000

3 sellers percentage 10% =225000

Transport and feeding 50000

Total expenses 410, 000



Net gain 1200000 – 410000

N790,000

This is a very conservative estimate. I have decided not to exaggerate but to be brutally factual.

Depending on the season you can make twice even thrice the amount.

During Christmas, Esther, New year Ramadan Festival the demands outstripped the supply. This is the period you make the kill.

If you have time you can run this twice weekly or weekly or monthly or during festive periods.

Is that a damage control or was the Twitter account hacked? . With politicians you never can know when they are telling the truth.
Gov. Rochas even called me today that he wants to make a status of me at orlu roundabout but I told me[b] he should give me half of the N520 million he will use to do the status while I stay there myself.[/b]

ROFL

Hauled insults?

Ma, it's hurled insults

Ok to everything else you said.

Daeylar:
Lol, this is funny

Why It's not that hard to carry food along or to find somewhere to eat,

Kudos to them though
They always want to make life easier for themselves, anything to reduce stress.
It's not here where we believe in suffering. Where we accord respect to who has suffered the most.

I suspect their primary audience is campers/those who spend much of their time in remote areas. Not uncommon in US/Canada.

What do you enjoy doing? Something legal you do without getting paid for it...Everyone of us has that one thing. Determine what that is and make a living from it.

Econometrics....the wahala of economic students lol

Econometrics is a killer I swear. It's bearable in Undergrad. Grad school's where the pain really hits hard. Lol.

This is a pretty easy question though. I don't understand what the fuss is about.

UBA I thought GTB was ahead.

davo90tico:
It's roasted not roast because roast is present while roasted is past tense and the last time I checked it started 15yrs ago

Roast chicken AND roastED chicken are correct.
The usage in "roast" is as an adjective while the usage in "roastED" is as a verb in the past participle form. Although, the former is more commonly used in formal and informal speech, the latter is also correct.

The time the business was established isn't in contention here.

Partnerbiz3:
Hmmm

I like plantain and beans .


It's actually roast yam.. NOT roastED .


I know. I am an English Language pundit.

I am not talking out of envy,i have good certificates from more than 3 different Nigerian universities,we know that their exams and assignments are mainly on line,the children of the rich schooling abroad are always sending assignments home to the brilliant poor who charge them tokens to do those assignments for them.In Nigeria a PhD holder without experience is placed as lecturer 2,that university should be a private university where mos-times standards are not followed.

Mainly online That's not true! Where did you get your information from

Also, I know a number of Nigerians who attended the university I attended. I worked with a few of them on certain assignments, publications etc and NONE of us sent anything "home" to be done for us. In my school (McGill), it is not a walk in the park as you presume it to be. It is applied learning, not largely theoretical as it is in Nigeria. The students you may know or have heard of who send/sent assignments home do not constitute the majority. Please, do not generalize.

Gben102:
" She was the only one that made it to this stage in her ministry from her state" U are the one that refused to tell the truth or your wife might refused to tell u the truth.

It could be true. Some states only received one slot for certain positions. I know this because I was able to see some States' allocations. Cross River State for instance only got 40 slots and positions like Auditor II had just one slot and Education Officer GL08 had eleven slots. CrossRiver only had total of 40 slots across 8 ministries. So, don't discount what he said.

Nooora:
It's only those that are on the stakeholders list that's gotten APL, we on the Creator's list will be getting in two weeks time? Any objection?

Not true. Whoever gave you that information (if you were given) lied to you. Except for some northern states still awaiting APLs, others have received and have started issuing to everyone on their lists. This is public info. Some people with queries have even gone to the commission and rectified their issues and are now awaiting signatures a second time around. While some applications have been deemed as containing forged documents/info so have been rejected unless rectified also. There is definitely something else taking place in the office of your informant that they do not want to tell you.

oluwaahmed:
because deir salary is like civil service, so wen deir recruits get mayB 3yrs experience, dey move onto d nxt one

What's the salary package for an International Graduate (global banking and corporate finance)?

MzTunechi:
It is clearly stated that you have to accept the offer within two months, so I think they would ensure they reach out to everyone.
Also, Adamawa state and some few states APL ain't ready yet. They need to make copies before issuing it. The info was from the recruitment department

Yes, that's how it should be done. I hope they reach out o.

motivationspika:
The problem is some will ask about your personal details and other means of identification/credentials before they check for your name/letter, thereby making it difficult to check for people on their behalf. Even at that, how many can one check for. Please and please find your way to Zone 3. Let not the secretary return your letter to the commission because you did not turn up. This people have tactically stopped sending candidates text messages. They believe if you are information sensitive, you should know what is going on at the moment.

And that's absolutely wrong. Every applicant should be notified by text/call whether or not he/she is privy to the current situation. Someone said "na Naija we dey" but it's wrong and unfair. I just hope nobody's letter is returned and all applicants receive them.

Billyonaire:
Love is all that there is. Every upheavals, instability and skirmishes are a direct and indirect reflection of absence of Love.

Money and the quest for money, has been and always will be, to purchase Love in one way or the other. Eliminate the desire for money and lovers will love for ever without obstacles.

QED

I completely agree with you.

motivationspika:
Honestly, if you are not at the commission to verify if your appointment letter is among the many that is already typed, I dont know what to say. Some came here for the first time after the interview and got their letters. People are just entering different offices in every minute just to ask about appointment letters. A busy environment is what you just feel now

Yes, you all should go in person whether you've been called or not. Most letters have been signed and some have been queried due to incomplete documents. So, go to your commissioner's office to confirm as your case may be. Congrats to you all.

God bless Nigeria!!!

DirtyGold:
For humour sake, i'll assume you work with Foreign Affairs and from estimation, you haven't attained the level of director. That said, I dont see how you could have acquired so much to the extent of owning a house in North America even if you save every dime of your various estacodes... Even those at directorate level cant boast of what you wrote up there (without corrupt practices and double dealings) because the civil service is not designed to make you rich but somewhat comfortable! To achieve A2 in Alliance Francaise costs very little and a short time if you aint dumb so that point aint shit... and what's more, it is open and readily available to the general public.

I understand you might be some over-optimist Nigerian seeing everything in fantastic perfection from one corner of your room or you just some paid government troll trying to spin government in bright light with the cheesy stuffs you posted now and infact, on all your posts on nairaland which "incidentally" happens to be only on this thread (no offence intended).

I am not about the opposite either but prefer to face the reality and call a spade a spade. Discerning Nigerians know the truth and it is not about politics... wishing the government well is in all of our best interests. Things are not totally bad but not as upbeat and rosy as you've painted it. Stay realistic!

What's tha business?

Ok

DirtyGold:
hehehehehehe
More to the salary like compulsorily 'billing' each person that comes to your office before you do your job, right? and helping contractors 'pad' their proposals for personal benefit abi? I understand!
@the bold part: in this Nigeria without being despicably corrupt? hahahaha.... That can only be possible if those "left in America" are there illegally and/or lack the credentials to work.
Dream on fella, it's good for your health.

What's tha business?

I appreciate your point but you are completely wrong in saying "That can only be possible if those "left in America" are there illegally and/or lack the credentials to work." I finished high school, A Levels in the UK with good results, and a first degree in Canada with a First Class and years of significant work experience gained while I was studying. However, I ended up as a customer service banking manager earning $2k/month which came up to little left in my bank account after paying monthly bills. I wanted more. I felt I deserved better. I was 22 at the time. I'm 37 now. I returned to Nigeria to work in the Federal Government. Initially, the compensation was little, yes. I have worked within various capacities within government and due to my field of work, I have worked on many international assignments with multilateral organizations like ECOWAS, UN etc. Doing so, we are paid several thousand dollars monthly by such bodies while still being paid our salaries and benefits by the Nigerian government. I don't pay for accommodation or many other bills while on assignment. So I end up saving a huge amount compared to being in Canada. As such, I have been able to purchase an apartment in Scarborough, near Toronto...WHILE WORKING IN NIGERIA.

I would have bought an apartment while working in Canada but could I have gotten as good and many opportunities while in the fiercely competitive employment sector in Canada? Maybe...However, what is indisputable is that I got this in NIGERIA. I didn't want to work in a bank. I studied Economics and so my friends thought it was still applicable. But I wanted to work within the field of International Economics i.e development, Int trade etc. In Canada, even with a Master's degree it is very difficult to get into the UN. I'm à civil servant here but I didn't need to be corrupt to get these opportunities here. I have since gone on to get higher degrees and further develop myself because even though people like to think the civil service is full of ineptitude​, there are a number of very competent and highly intelligent people within it. It may even surprise you to know that, while on assignment, I've met even people in the Nigerian Police Force on assignment also. My first encounter was in Haiti a few years ago. Not soldiers o...policemen. A couple of them let me know that they were sent to L'institut Français In Abuja to study french to A2 level before being​ sent to Haiti because they had no prior knowledge of French. They added that the Force sends officers to various countries where the UN has requested their presence. Yet how many of you know that such opportunities exist within the Police Force??

Like I always say, yes, Nigeria has many flaws but I have come to realize that it also has many gems hidden within it, including the civil service. It really boils down to individual foresight and priorities. So, you guys should stop dismissing everything you hear because you feel the salary is too small for anybody, moreso those in the US, Canada,UK etc to come back for. I have said this several times here, there are a lot of legitimate opportunities within Government. It is all up to you if you want to find them out, pursue them and make your own story different from the picture that has been painted of "ministry" workers. Paint your own picture! Inform yourselves! Not everybody goes to the ministry to sleep and eat groundnut.

Erenje24:
some people failed my guy, is it not Nigerian Graduates we er talking about? some one was asked to mention a geopolitical zone and 2 states under it and he said "North Central" and he stated mentioning Zamfara, Bornu state

You are right. Yet some of them may be here expecting to be called. When they aren't, they cry foul.

yahmaid04:
this is not true, you guys are just exagerrating everything. Presidency list, seriously You have access to the presidency and you want a job that pays 60k per month?? And how do you even know wether their candidates are among the shortlisted for interview previously? Please lets talk with factsp

It's true. There is a list from the presidency and I'm talking as a matter of fact. Everything I have stated here is factual. You all never think beyond the present. You just talk about the salary and how low it is. There are those who are not interested in the salary. They are focused on beyond what you are fighting for. There are a lot of things you people don't see and so will not understand. They are not there for 60k salary.

Oh Lord, why do we misconstrue all we hear? Yes, there is a list from NASS and the presidency...this is not news. HOWEVER, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE HIRED WITH AND WITHOUT CONNECTION! I know this! So many people believe that if they aren't hired or they do not know anyone who is, then senators have taken all the available spots. I agree that recruitment processes should be fairer and the government could do better by being transparent but I must tell you all that people without connection, albeit few, are hired into the juiciest MDAs.

This is exactly what is happening right now with those who are still awaiting the NNPC recruitment process from 2011-2012. It HAS been concluded and there were a few without connection who were hired and have been working for years. I know this first hand. Yet, people are still waiting. It's disheartening but we should not mix up information. Know facts and do not mix and match your assumptions from whatever your so called connections tell you.

Until, the recruitment process is over, I implore people to stop posting suggestions, opinions, assumptions...post factual HELPFUL information. And if your case isn't positive, please do not dampen others' hopes. I have worked in positions within our government and I have seen cases of people who knew nobody and all odds were against them yet they triumphed. It made me believe that there is truly one called God. So, please understand that in every public recruitment process, there is a "connected" list or stakeholder list BUT it does not cancel out others who are hired transparently.

usy0410:
please any information for those of us that are yet to receive text for the documentation? how many ministries were called so far?

You should focus on the state, not ministries. Find out if your state has completed documentation.

Ladylexly:
This contradicts wat erenje said he saw "secretary typing Apl". Wat really are we to believe?

Erenje is absolutely correct. It's fcsc who is in charge of recruitment and who issues APLs. I know this first hand. Some of the information i read here is really troubling. Some very misleading information.

4evavic:
there's lots of Hope,all we need is divine intervention.. To the best of my knowledge n from what d comissioner told me,APLs will 1st roll out b4 documentation... #Nohardfeelings.

Yes, another documentation will be done at respective ministries after APLs have been issued....That's where bank details and all will also be supplied by the new appointees. That does not disqualify this though. I don't know who you spoke to but I can tell you categorically that this documentation at fcsc is solely for successful candidates.

noelle1:
Has anyone AT ALL being called from ministry of Information?? I havent heard of anyone. Pls anyone confirm or counter this

Yes, I have seen people from various states at fcsc who were for ministry of information.
