EternalTruths:
Igbos need to get separated from Hausa Fulani Yoruba people so as to achieve progress at lightening speed

Since 1999, Igbo's have been ruling their States and they've not gone far. I can't remember any Fulani person telling Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji, Ohakim, Nwobodo and others to loot their state.
If the South East governors had built 1 good hospital per year, the South East would by today have 85 good hospitals by today.

Stop blaming diversity for the greed of Nigerians.

Patrioticooduan:
All what you wrote is bullshi.te. why do you guys mention america? Why not Europe or Asia that are occupied by indigenous tribes?

People mention America because it throws your excuse of diversity away.
London is probably the most multicultural city in the world and they are doing well.

Is it diversity that makes governors loot their state?

Patrioticooduan:
How many ethnic groups are in Switzerland? Four!!!
Namely: Germans 66%.
Italians, French and one other one that makeup just 1%. How can you compare that with Nigeria?
Forget it Mr. We are too diverse in Nigeria. This is what is killing UA and other African countries

Stop blaming diversity for the failures of Nigeria and Africans.

Oji Uzor Kalu is an Igbo man, and he ruled his state for eight years, was it diversity that caused him to loot his state?

Every state and local government has been ruled since 1999 by people from that state/ethnicity but we still haven't made progress and you want to blame ethnicity? Are you blaming diversity for Ibori's stealing? Or the one done by Gbenga Daniels?


America a country of immigrants ( which automatically means diversity) has managed to move forward but people who were born in a country are blaming something that happened decades before they were born as the reason for Nigeria's failure.

The post is part of the reason Nigeria doesn't work, we find things to blame rather than face the truth.

comos:
with his performance in the senate, he is already popular,

He dose not Buhari for his re-election

What performance? Sharing of transistor radio as constituency project?

How many National Assembly members are voted based on performance?

How do you judge the performance of a Senator?

National Assembly elections are held on the same day as the Presidential election so which ever party gets the Presidential vote, gets the National Assembly vote.

OfficialAPCNig:
A Senator has no political capital?

Zombie is really a bad thing.

Shehu Sani rode the Buhari wave, he's a staunch Buharist.
He had contested for the Senate twice and lost before the APC merger in 2014. And by the way, he comes from the CPC faction of APC while El Rufai comes from the PDP faction.

You know nothing about Shehu Sani and he yes he has 0 political capital. He entered the Senate because of Buhari and the APC wave of 2015.


You are the Zombie because your thinking is one way....

johnnyvid:
lol i'm all rounder shaaaa. i thank God for his grace. Elrufai has finish himself politically in kaduna state. infact Apc in kaduna has now reduced drastically. thousands of Apc members are now decamping to other political parties ahead of 2019 general elections. alot of governors will not be returned for second term, especially in the northern zone. elrufai rely mostly on buhari, not knowing that buhari has destroyed himself politically. senator shehu sani is a grass roots politician too from kaduna central senatorial districts where elrufai came from. elrufai will be defeated in 2019 poll.

Shehu Sani has 0 (ZERO) political capital and can't win any election against El Rufai.

cornel9297:
most mechanics are more useful to the society than 90% of on paper mechanical engineer.
Don't be blindfolded with pride

And we wonder why Nigeria and Africa is terrible......

Don't compare a mechanic to a Mechanical Engineer....... They are world aparts.

ugybabe2020:
my brother is learning mechanic at papa chioma's mechanic shop.He is a graduate of mechanical engineer.

Who's fault is it that your brother chose not to learn in school?

Adesolomon2014:
Cash transfer can be viable if amenities are on ground.
For nigeria, what we need is infrastructure knowing fully well that the cash transfer can have an unhappy ending later.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

hennyholla17:
The only difference between a mechanic and a mechanical engineer is a laminated paper.

What did you do(drink/eat/smoke) to come up with this sh*t?

Do you know the work of a mechanical engineer? Heck do you know the job of an engineer?

lastmessenger:
Tell me what 5k can do to a persons life. The FG should just be wise for once and do the right thing. We have the power sector,the railway and other areas that needs money to improve on it and yet the federal government wants to share 320million dollars to some imaginary poor Nigerians.

There's lots of research on cash transfer around the world, read up on it.
Here's one done in Nigeria in 2014

Lolzzzz.
Where is the electricity to power the steel mill going to come from?

Ajaokuta has its own power plant.

Won't it be smart for First bank to appoint a manager for the school and ensure that all monies for the school are paid into an account on First bank. That way, the school still keeps running and First bank takes it money little by little?

You can't do a bank transaction with BVN. BVN is for identification.

Anyone here process ECA with a date of birth mistake on transcript? I.E the year on the transcript is different from the year on the passport.

LaudableXX:
That is not a valid excuse. They are still part of the value chain that provides electricity to the citizenry! Electricity provision is their main business and core competence. They have no business with generators. "What agreement does light have with darkness?"

Its not an excuse, its a fact. They don't generate electricity, the distribute.

A tailor is part of the fabric value chain but if fabric produces don't make the fabric, the tailor cannot sew.

Its not rocket science (simple input and output).

wink2015:
UNTIL NORTHERN STATES GOVERNMENT FORGET ABOUT FEDERAL ALLOCATION AND GET THE COUNTRY QUICKLY RESTRUCTURED.

I DO NOT TAKE SERIOUS THIS INNOVATION BY GOVERNOR EL RUFAI OF KADUNA STATE.

GOVERNOR EL RUFAI IS ONLY TRYING TO BE CLEVER BY HALF!

Just the way he manipulated the APC Committee works on restructuring that he was heading.

To restructure Nigeria is the job of senators and not governors.

Stop showing your ignorance to the world.

I can't believe I agree with Reno.

**Shakes head**

BabaIbo:
Mr Man or woman, they have almost the same duties... Water corporation don't produce water, they are not a water production corporation... They develop, maintain and beneficially exploit water resources, both natural and artificial for the purpose of carrying out her functions in accordance with this law... the guy/lady you quoted made more sense

They can only distribute what they are given.

Esseite:
If you dont understand what it means, just Imagine water co-operation buying water...

Not the same bro.

They are a distribution company not a generating one.

Leaving tomorrow, thats why i decided not to order for one.

Ok.

So I finally braced the odds to step into the city center though public transit (not every day uber) and was at Square One mall in Mississauga. free wifi everywhere you go. cant imagine if ICM tries that in lagos (awon keyboard warriors and team snapchat ).

First interview today, hopeful. Finally saw a police car today. Naija police catch your sub!

Almost got lost on the way back. No internet and i stopped at the wrong stop. Got on the next bus (apparently the $4 card is valid for 2 hours) so due to wrong stop, ended up home in another two buses.

Get a TTC card and pay for the month. If you are jobless, you might be able to apply for a discount. I'm not sure how much it would cost, but in Ottawa a month's bus pass is $116 while its $58 with subsidy.

Treat your in-laws like you treat your family (they are also your wife's in-law).

davodyguy:
There have always been serious issues between myself and my wife over families.

We have a policy in my family, which is to always respect privacy. We visit only when necessary and call/Text most times. My wife and her family on the other hand, they love to visit and like to even stay overnight. Because of my almost zero tolerance for this, we always have issues and she thinks I hate her people.

Last December, I had to ship her out to UAE for Christmas, when I heard she planned having her siblings come in from 24th December, till 2nd January, 2018.

Its always a battle, which she doesn't want to understand, that relatives she not pass their boundaries, since we too are a couple with kids and need to face our lives.

Sometimes, they just pump in without notifying me the head of the house. As usual, I get reactive, but as the Yoruba's would say, its 'Îsó léñû. But its the duty of our wives to always understand what husbands want as the head after God. The parents of the wife have done the handing over and the man is now in charge

Boundaries just need to be set in every family.

I'm guessing you knew this about your wife and family and still went ahead to marry her but now you are trying to get her to change. Why aren't you the one changing?

seanfer:
You can search for the results of elections in 2011 and 2015 you will know that PMB has been winning the NW and NE right from when he was in the Opposition

He didn't win the election in those years even though he won the NW and NE because he needed other regions (NC and SW). As at today, he would win the NW and NE but not the remaining 4 regions.

Any girl that needs "supporting" money for hair should go and cut the hair.

Linear Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, Fourier Transforms, Matrices are some math topics I wished I had paid serious attention to back in the day and not just read to pass.

Machine learning, Computer Graphics, Sound processing are some fields were knowing serious maths would take you so far.

Its not the teachers fault that the guy doesn't know the application of x + y

Nukilia:
We are all in this shit together till 2019 .... EOD

Benjom:
Kpele... 2019 is already by the corner

Are you guys saying Nigerian police will start behaving professionally in 2019?

If they talked on phone, the conversation can be gotten from either one of them's network provider.

Didn't Reno campaign for a 56 year old man?

Isn't Reno campaigning for Atiku/Kwankaswo/Markafi et al who are all above 60?

pp802:
As painful as it may seem, the boss is right anyways!

How will she get money to pay for the hospital bills if she doesn't go to work. The son is being taking care of in the hospital. What difference will she make if she stays in the hospital with him? Is she the doc or the nurse?

I know some emotional people will support her, but hey.........how do you pay bills if you don't work?

If you are not in the right frame of mind, you will do a shoddy job. So what's the point?

yungreezy:
Hi guys,


As regards job search, I cannot thank God enough for the opportunities He has given me in finding a job on time. Because as with everyone else, it was a big worry for me. I began my search from home. I used freetone app as stated by others here. My experience from Nigeria is in banking. I explored switching to IT but I figured it'll be a bit difficult to do that immediately without experience. So I decided to continue my search in where I have experience as advised by some here and move on from there. I had a number of interviews over the phone from Nigeria and continued to in person interview when I arrived. Thankfully I've been able to secure a role within a couple of weeks of arriving here. So it does help to start on time, don't rule yourself out of any role, give the employer the option available to you and hear what they say.

Having said that, is there a group for Nigerians in Toronto? It can get boring here when you don't have much friends so if anyone is around North York/Etobicoke/Mississauga, holla! I wouldnt mind a meet up.

Congrats on your job. My advice to everyone looking for a job is to never rule yourself out. That's the job of the HR manager not yours so do your part by applying and let the HR manager do theirs.
I know of a lawyer (hasn't done the Canadian bar exams but did Masters here) who applied to a job at Bell. After the first interview, she told me the job was for an experienced person and she was so sure she'll never be called back bla black bla. She made it to the final interview with a VP who came from Toronto to Ottawa and is waiting feedback.


Never rule yourself out of a job role.

I don't understand this Chris Giwa guy and I would be glad if someone can explain to me what he expects to happen.

He's been banned from FIFA related actives and the supreme Court doesn't have Jurisdiction with FIFA so how does he plan to lead a FIFA related body?
