Seriously I am thinking of not marrying at all, because there are a lot of things I want to do that I feel having a family will discourage me. Secondly, I hate that aspect of saving money just to go and spend it all on marriage.

If you are a Nigerian and your Dad have ever looked into your eyes and said "MY SON I LOVE YOU" put up your hand.

Emmykings24th:
Good morning friends; had anyone who applied for the pupil traffic officer (grade 08) gotten any invitation message?

I did but no invite yet.

Please has anyone gotten an invite for the position of a pupil traffic officer GL8?

Every minute of my life, I keep on thinking how to get a job or have any small business doing that I can earn income.I am the first ever graduate from my family, every member of my family both young and old keep calling me every day to ask if I have gotten a job this is really bringing me down and i feel tired and weak right now. My family are very poor people, how I went to school is a very long and encouraging story.After my service I went back to stay with the man that trained me in school,he is not my family member but a kind man but the problem is that he want me to always stay in the house 24hours looking after his house and he is not paying me, how can I get a job with this kind of situation. I have sent more than 3000 cv online and I have gone for only one interview which I passed all the stages but later was disqualify because of my age.Please my fellow Nigerians help me, I need a job no matter how small i will manage, it is better than staying like this I am dying slowly.If you can help me with any small capital, I can go into any small business because I think I can do well in business too. Thanks and God bless you all in advance. Moderators please help move it to front page I need help.

I come from a village where people think going to school is the most difficult thing on earth. Haven grown to the age of attending primary school, I decided to start my educational career in one primary school in my my village. I passed from primary 1 to 6 without knowing how to read and write, please don't ask me how because I don't know myself.On reaching primary 6, it was time for me to register for first school leaving certificate exams and I asked myself how? When I don't know how to read and write? One morning I decided to visit our headmaster's office,with tears falling from my eyes I greeted Good morning Sir, Please Sir I don't want to write the exams,I prefer going back to start from primary 2 again. It was like a joke to him not knowing I was serious, he now said okey then if that is your decision go ahead.When I went back to primary 1, there was this my mum's friend who was teaching us and she was really ready for me, according to her I must know something. When she write a word on the board, she will beat me until I was able to pronounce that word at a point I became afriad of her but what will I do when I want to learn.That woman did that until I was able to read and write,when we wrote exams I took 2nd position. I started reading and writting until I reached primary 6 the second time, wrote my exams and left.After primary school I went to secondary, started from jss1 to ss3 everything was okey in secondary school until when I wrote my waec. When the waec result came out, it was not okey atall and I felt very bad as I really struggled to train myself, please don't ask about my parents because that is another long story.One day I wokeup at night and asked myself what will I do about this result now because I really want to be a graduate to change that village mentality. But there was no answer because there is nothing I could do.One day I was sitting down outside our compound when I saw a nice car stopped in front of our house with 3 women and 2 men inside and they were carrying a map which traces our compound. One of them came out and called me so I went and he asked me if I know this person, he mentioned the name and behold it was me so I quickly said it's me sir And he said okey someone recommend that i help you. Can you follow us to the city? The man asked and I said not now sir but will come later, he give me his contact and left.It was 3rd december, 2006 when I called him and he permitted to meet him in the city, so I left the village that same day and headed to the city.I arrived safely in the man's house,after been welcomed the fisrt thing he told me was that i will like you to register for jamb,I said okey thank you sir but everything was not well as I have issues with my waec result.The next day he called me and said I have to look for a school and register for another waec and I said thank you sir. January 2007, he took me to one missionary school for registration, my dear brothers and sisters it was another shocked for me.The principal asked for my waec result, she looked at it and said this result is a total mess that even someone from ss1 in their school can write waec and perform more than this.Note, in the result I had credit in all other subjects but D7 in English and F in maths.Now the principal's final decision was that if I want to write waec in the school, I have to go back to ss2. This was really disheartening but I had no option, we went back home and the man said he support the principal that it is either I repeat ss2 or I go back to the village and that he gives me 1 full day to decide. My brothers and sister I wokeup and told him I am ready to repeat SS2.I started ss2 allover again,passed ss2 entered ss3 wrote my waec and cleared all my papers.I wrote jamb in 2010 passed it got admitted into the university and today, I am proud to be the first ever graduate from my family but no job yet. May God bless us all.

sEGXY2:
I must congratulate you, you really came a long way however just being a graduate in today's Nigeria is not enough its the beginning of a sojourn of self discovery, when you finally make it don't forget to touch lives just the way someone touched yours.

I make sense?

Sure, I am planning to do more than what he did by God's grace.

Thanks everyone.

How they go talk, everybody want carry first. I pity our mentality.

etenyong:

Bros, where is ur location? Are u in Lagos?

I base in Calabar but I am ready to leave this place serious.

mayorski01:
I can very much relate to the situation you in. You probably feeling the man has played a big part in your life and you trying to pay him back. He might have done his part but you have to understand that God put him in that situation to help you, you have to rebel against the staying at home 24hrs at all cost, if a man js willing to tie down someone with a promising future and not challenege you to go make a way for yourself, thats a wicked person, i dont care what he has done for you. Go out, do things, meet people. if you gonna change your life for the better this is the first step you hould take. in the long run please make plans to leave that house, you can move in with a friend, hustle together but just leave the comfort zone of the house. you can never know what you can achieve until you put yourself in comfortable situations. Lastly read alot, read novels, biographies, memoirs anything, study how succesful people git to overcome thier adversities. work on your self esteem too, trust me life would give you a shot. Make yourself ready

Thanks Bro,God bless you.

firstking01:
Is it that they said you are too old or what??

I think so because that interview I went there did not specify the age limit on the advert.But after the last stage I was called to send my waec result then after that they told me my age have passed their maximum age requirement.

Dicksonpal:
where r u based

I base in Calabar Sir.

firstking01:
How old are you, what's your discipline??

I am 31 years now sir and I studied Economics.This my age is making me feel really bad, I have missed many opportunities because of age.

I have always said that sometimes advice is more than billions of naira. I sincerely thank you all for your advice, May God bless you all.

mynd44,lalasticlala please help me move this thread to front page.

E you must open this door, i telling u now.

This is the first time Wike and I are on the same page.But i don't still like him.

My fellow Nigerians please be inform that there is no law making going on in the Senate. We just waisted our time voting trouble makers intead of law makers.Everyday on earth they go there to talk about allegetions and issues that concerns them, what a country do we have? The president has submitted the 2017 budget since but what is happening to it? There are more concern about the customs Boss Hammed Ali not wearing uniform, that Efcc Boss Mr. Magu is corrupt let me ask you my fellow Nigerians, would you like to confirm someone who is about sending you to prison because you are corrupt? That is why senate has refused to clear Magu.The new case now is that of Dino Maleye who they said did not graduate from ABU, you see trouble here and there.The Budget which is the backbone of every Country's Economy have been kept aside.How is Hammed Ali not wearing uniform related to his performance? Is it not without uniform that he discovered The senate president imported a car with fake documents? I Have discovered we don't need any Economic model but good leaders in this country.

Hope you guys can rest now.Those of you who are saying this one is the senators list and next one is for the people.Does senators ever have limited number of people they want to give jobs to?

chyima:


Can you remember what he lectured on am trying to picture his face

Principles of accounting, the man can talk fast eh, he is very black.

He was my lecturer in year 2,na only God help me pass him course.I remember he gave us a test and came back the next day and said everybody scored zero.

120% sure.

Buhari should at least come back and try Dr. Iguedo Goko cleanser in Nigeria na.

Please you guys should stop disturbing, there is nothing happening in fcsc for now.

INTRODUCTION
In economics, the Dutch disease is the apparent causal relationship between the increase in the economic development of a specific sector (for example natural resources) and a decline in other sectors (like the manufacturing sector and agriculture). The putative mechanism is that as revenues increase in the growing sector (or inflows of foreign aid), the given nation's currency becomes stronger (appreciates) compared to currencies of other nations (manifest in an exchange rate). This results in the nation's other exports becoming more expensive for other countries to buy, and imports becoming cheaper, making those sectors less competitive.
While it most often refers to natural resource discovery, it can also refer to "any development that results in a large inflow of foreign currency, including a sharp surge in natural resource prices, foreign assistance, and foreign direct investment".
The term was coined in 1977 by The Economist to describe the decline of the manufacturing sector in the Netherlands.
THE MODEL
The classic economic model describing Dutch disease was developed by the economists W. Max Corden and J. Peter Neary in 1982. In the model, there is a non-tradable sector (which includes services) and two tradable sectors: the booming sector, and the lagging (or non-booming) tradable sector. The booming sector is usually the extraction of natural resources such as oil, natural gas, gold, copper, diamonds or bauxite, or the production of crops, such as coffee or cocoa. The lagging sector is usually manufacturing or agriculture.
A Resource Boom Affects This Economy In Two Ways:

1. In the "resource movement effect", the resource boom increases demand for labour, which causes production to shift toward the booming sector, away from the lagging sector. This shift in labour from the lagging sector to the booming sector is called direct-deindustrialization. However, this effect can be negligible, since the hydrocarbon and mineral sectors tend to employ few people.
2. The "spending effect" occurs as a result of the extra revenue brought in by the resource boom. It increases demand for labour in the non-tradable sector (services), at the expense of the lagging sector. This shift from the lagging sector to the non-tradable sector is called indirect-deindustrialization. The increased demand for non-traded goods increases their price. However, prices in the traded good sector are set internationally, so they cannot change. This amounts to an increase in the real exchange rate.
In 2016, a number of scholars from the Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany put forward a new theoretical model showing that both effects have the same effect on the labour market dynamics. Hence, it is not possible to compartmentalize the resource movement and spending effects econometrically.
Resource-based international trade
In a model of international trade based on resource endowments as the Heckscher–Ohlin/Heckscher–Ohlin-Vanek, the Dutch disease can be explained by the Rybczynski theorem.
Effects
Simple trade models suggest that a country should specialize in industries in which it has a comparative advantage; so a country rich in some natural resources would be better off specializing in the extraction of those natural resources.
However, other theories suggest that this is detrimental, for example when the natural resources deplete(Just as crude-oil is depleting in Nigeria). Also, prices may decrease and competitive manufacturing cannot return as quickly as it left. This may happen because technological growth is smaller in the booming sector and the non-tradable sector than the non-booming tradable sector. Because that economy had smaller technological growth than did other countries, its comparative advantage in non-booming tradable goods will have shrunk, thus leading firms not to invest in the tradables sector.
Also, volatility in the price of natural resources, and thus the real exchange rate, limits investment by private firms, because firms will not invest if they are not sure what the future economic conditions will be. Commodity exports such as raw materials, drive up the value of the currency. This is what leads to the lack of competition in the other sectors of the economy. The extraction of natural resources is also extremely capital intensive, resulting in few new jobs being created.
HOW TO MINIMIZE DUTCH DISEASE
There are two basic ways to reduce the threat of Dutch disease: by slowing the appreciation of the real exchange rate and by boosting the competitiveness of the adversely affected sectors. One approach is to sterilize the boom revenues, that is, not to bring all the revenues into the country all at once, and to save some of the revenues abroad in special funds and bring them in slowly. In a Country like Nigeria, this can be politically difficult as there is often pressure to spend the boom revenues immediately to alleviate poverty, but this ignores broader macroeconomic implications.
Sterilisation will reduce the spending effect, alleviating some of the effects of inflation. Another benefit of letting the revenues into the country slowly is that it can give a country a stable revenue stream, giving more certainty to revenues from year to year. Also, by saving the boom revenues, a country is saving some of the revenues for future generations. Examples of these sovereign wealth funds include the Australian Government Future Fund, the Government Pension Fund in Norway, the Stabilization Fund of the Russian Federation, the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan, Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund of Alberta, Canada, and the Future Generations Fund of the State of Kuwait established in 1976. Recent talks led by the United Nations Development Programme in Cambodia – International Oil and Gas Conference on fuelling poverty reduction – point out the need for better education of state officials and energy cadres linked to a possible Sovereign Wealth Fund to avoid the Resource curse (Paradox of plenty).
Another strategy for avoiding real exchange rate appreciation is to increase saving in the economy in order to reduce large capital inflows which may appreciate the real exchange rate. This can be done if the country runs a budget surplus. A country can encourage individuals and firms to save more by reducing income and profit taxes. By increasing saving, a country can reduce the need for loans to finance government deficits and foreign direct investment.
Investments in education and infrastructure can increase the competitiveness of the lagging manufacturing or agriculture sector. Another approach is government protectionism of the lagging sector, that is, increase in subsidies or tariffs. However, this could worsen the effects of Dutch disease, as large inflows of foreign capital are usually provided by the export sector and bought up by the import sector. Imposing tariffs on imported goods will artificially reduce that sector's demand for foreign currency, leading to further appreciation of the real exchange rate.
