DSSC is the direct short service course.
Usually for graduates of the professions. Med, Engr, MLS, Nurses, I think clergy, etc. usually under age 26.

If you were elect/elect, marine or mech, I'd prefer it. Chemical engr research & army, hmmmm, not sure if you'll get the kinda role within it. I may be wrong though.

You may end up never seeing a lab again. Since you're very young & and have passion for research, graduate well n take higher degree/degrees. It's exciting times research wise for biochem, biochem engr & chem engr research in the West. Follow your passion.

Can a Yoruba man born in the east become a governor in an eastern state?

.

Sir, I know comprehension is not everybody's forte but re-read this part "if Nigeria was a properly functioning country".

Yes, time was when Yoruba people sought political posions in the East and Igbo sought in the West. Azikiwe vividly comes to mind & the acrimony that followed.

We may have retrogressed in that regard but it was once deemed normal. Maybe our kids & grandkids can shed the toga of tribalism/bigotry and make it possible again.

Nice one bro,
you will get the feedback via whatsapp....

.

Copy me too via email?

caprini1:
You are very correct......all my life it has been Lagos,infact Jakande free education pikin,I am so out of place when I travel to the east.More Loyal to Lagos and everything Lagos.

.

Yet you may not be allowed to become a governor, even if very qualified.

If 9ja was a properly functioning country, Igbo would be the most cosmopolitan Nigerians.

elantraceey:
no i nor like am

Ok maybe Shoprite or a trip to Dubai will do the trick.

Good thread.

chimerase2:
Dis ma governor na pure iddiiot
If not dat he is ma governor I would have called him onye awusa......foool

.

You see, many of these Eastern leaders were actually born & raised in Hausaland/Yorubaland.

Don't be surprised if this governor feels closer to Buhari than GEJ from the South.

Sam Egwu is actually OBJ's townsman. He was born at Owu, Ogun State.

I heard Gov. Okorocha is Hausaland born.

So usually, many Igbo people that mix up with the political elite of 9ja have mixed loyalty.
Hence Ndigbo hardly speak with one voice. People explain it away with "Igbo are largely republican".

That is surprising in an ethno-religious jungle called Nigeria.

ok

elantraceey:
Yes o


*flaunts my ring*

.

Hahahaha.

I yaff catchted you. Na nyanga ring be dat.

Seriously me talk better, let me whisper in your ear, amebor alert!

Shey you sabi dat mango tree for junction? 5pm.

Shey you like Mama Nkechi rice?

chiibekee:
Yes if the husband is selfish

.

No excuse to envy. You're either envious by nature or not.

It's not about his generosity or lack of it, she feels more entitled to success than her hubby.

The man just landed in Canada, may not have even have had time to show true behaviour (good or bad yet).

What she doesn't realise is they are now joined AS ONE.

God has probably blessed her efforts (menial jobs, rigmarole of obtaining papers, etc) with this succeeding hubby.
You wonder why she can't see this as a collective/family success.

Na wa o.

Envy is an evil trait that eats up a relationship slowly.

Better pikin.

Abeg you don marry?

Tbliss12:
@AreaFada pls next try edit your post and remove that your email to avoid falling into the hands of this 419guys they are everywhere ooooo seeking for who to scam oooo

.

Thank you Sir!

Please edit same in your quoted post.

Thanx @ Nixander.

The info is good.

I think what we need to do is look for how to sell wholesale in UK. Profit might be less but supplying bulk will make up for it.

As for retail price per tuber, it depends on location/town/city.

In London, average to small sized tubers, you get 3 for £5. Of course you will pay more in Oxford or Co Antrim, but yam eaters are fewer in those places. So one needs to have this in perspective.

I have always thought the higher cost in Europe is due to freight cost. The maths needs to add up first.

@ Lekan, yam is not really scarce in UK as the UK guy said, at least not in places like London, Manchester, Birmingham, etc.
I think to have a relative advantage, price & quality of yams will matter.

That story is almost as old as humanity. Many girls of nowadays don't give a poo about sanctity of marriage. Many cheat on their boyfriends and will do same in marriage.

No need to pretend here, most men have never accepted monogamy, not King David, not King Solomon, not most men of today. Some men say sweet romantic things here to curry favour from Bebe2, Mukinatu, Idowu, etc. All na wash.

A man faced with frequent temptations, chances are he will succumb. A young fresh girl, unrelated to your hubby in your marital home? Not in the 21st century. Trouble sleep, nyanga go wake am.

Even Abraham took Haggai. If Sarah had written that part of the Bible instead of Moses, I wonder if the storyline would have been exactly same.

iv4fb:
I don't like GEJ, he is an embarrassment to people that expected so much from him.

but, you see his failures for a reason. He signed the FOI, so much information is available to us now and we can now demand for good leadership. Mr brother, even the APC of Lagos is scared of signing it, you'll scream at the rot in Lagos government if you have the information.

Obscurity is not security

.

That's our problem in 9ja. Those old fashioned know crooks it. They know that we're very sentimental, so they keep us perpetually ignorant.
Previous administrations were scared stiff of FOI.

The information we now like to use (sometimes take at face value) against GEJ are only available because of FOI signed by GEJ. Not the act of someone who doesn't want transparency.

Other govts bundled journalists into jail for daring to seek such information, closed newspaper houses to keep you and me blissfully ignorant.

GMB was the very worst human right abuser. He hasn't changed. If GMB is really that popular, let Nigerians vote for him. Maybe people have enjoyed too much freedom lately that we have now forgotten the brutal past.

I think sometime we adore people who maltreat us like animals. Maybe it's Stockholm Syndrome.

NixandaStores:
An export agent has just confirmed that yam tuber and elubo can be exported to the UK.

If we can get contacts for buyers in the UK we can start a next level business.

.

Oh nice, can he/agent explain the procedure/Process? Costs, paper work etc?

onyengbu:
No, the report has always been available. Are you worried that it might contain disturbing things about Buhari or are you just worried that you are hearing of it for the first time?

.

Lots of people don't really read much, so they won't know. Quite funny to see that some claim not to have seen or heard of it before.
An anti-democracy coup plotter cannot turn round and want to benefit from what he brutally truncated.

See it this way, if some mad soldiers had overthrown the govt on 31st of December 2014, like he did in 1983 would Great grandpa Buhari be shuffling to Uyo & PHC to campaign now?

Na wa o, corruption n incompetence everywhere.

NixandaStores:
Hello,
Is there anyone out here doing exportation of Nigerian food items to the UK or Europe?

Do you know yam tubers can be exported?

Please I will like to here from you.

.

Sure yam is popular among Africans/Caribbean in UK & Europe.
I'd like to know about export of both yam & Elubo too.

I have tried asking sellers but they seem not willing to reveal their export/supply sources.

please post more details, location, prices, sizes n capacities.

That some Nigerians are pinning their hopes on a failed great-grandfather , thrice president wannabe, a kicked out coup plotter, an untested paper-weight, a bunch of looters and stooges is amazing.

Change with Fashola, Ribadu etc would be a bit plausible. These lots? Nah.

That these people are mentioned in the same breath as hope shows our predicament as a nation.

ogoja is okay for pounded yam because here in benue they pound ogoja more... for the remaining questions i will make enquiry.

Yes boss I love your spirit man! Benin axis will be decided did week cos I will really mount great pressure on the charter man of the market.

.

Able corper, Happy New Year. Good to hear about Benin axis coming up soon.

Abeg, out of paper yam, Ogoja yam and Gboko yam, punch yam, which is best to make pounded yam (texture wise) and which is best to eat taste wise like potato?

barcanista:
When did Buhari threaten the country?

.

Are you a learner or a kid? A man who committed treason to get to power in 1983? Or you don't know if he had failed, he would have been shot like a common criminal? The govt of Obj in which he was Oil minister made coup treason. And 1979 constitution too.

He didn't only threaten, he raped the nation by overthrowing a govt elected by the people democratically.

Then he threatened to make the country ungovernable for GEJ, soaking monkey & baboon in blood. And suddenly boko haram attacks surged through the roof. His blood is the one to spill, no more innocent blood.

koboko69:
Bro no court will squash an already announced presidential result in the Nigeria we all know. I think that will cause more up roar than a parallel government that does not necessarily mean violence.

.

True, it doesn't mean. It means anarchy!

And more funding for Boko Haram. After all for APC & Buhari, boko are not violent, they're only carrying out just normal Jihad.

hotmas911:
What a year!!!!!!!!!

.

Hotmas my brother, happy new year. Near or not too far from the rice paddies, are there any good rice mills? I mean those that leave do not leave much stones in the processed rice.
How easy is it to sell local rice?

I'm a very big fan of local rice, if not for too many stones.

Thanks Sir.

tit:
which one is easier to get:
1) the plaque of a school or
2) a students certificate.

why is APC going to all the trouble of going to steal a plaque at the US war college
instead of giving INEC a copy of the MSc certificate mahdi Buhari got at the US War College?

.

It is because we tolerate short cuts and bribe our way through exams, school admissions, employment etc.

We're very allergic to due process.

If you go for any interview for school admission or job employment and you're asked to bring your relevant certificates, you do just that.
But in 9ja, we start to use tribal, political and ethnic sentiments, bribery and totally ignore simple, transparent due process.

And we wonder why we're getting nowhere?

Firstly the poster above me is a scumbag. Secondly obasanjo why does it pain u? Is this old age or what? I think some one has to talk to this old Ass mess.er .

.

He thought he was imposing his errand boys on us. But Yar'Adua & Jona fashi him after getting power.

Patriotism 101: OBJ put the nation first, not your self-interest when selecting leaders.

He left people like Donald Duke and other people not too infected by the cankerworm of political corruption and forced Jona on us.

Your Frankenstein's monsters dey bite you & everyone.

You must be very proud of yourself.
