This will shake GTB to the roots.

Seriously?

Can't believe people are saying GTB is in trouble. How Ignorant can you guys be?

GTB made N170 billion after tax last year.

GTB made a profit of N52 billion in the first quarter of this year.

This is "symbolic rubbish"( still searching for a better word).
Democracy is a means to an end not the end in itself. Democracy as a system of government is supposed to give everyone a voice and a chance but this government has not shown it understands what democracy means or even what it means to govern.

When our children’s children ask why we celebrate June 12, then this story will be repeated in their ears and they will appreciate Aare Bashorun M.K.O Abiola and all those who died and suffered so they have can have democracy.

Only those who are alive would be able to tell a story.

What is the hope of those in Benue or Taraba?
This action and many more has shown that this government is all about scoring political points than making people's lives better.


I don't think Gani Fawehimi would like to be honored by a government that continues to flout court orders and abuse the rights of its citizens.

If the Minister and the President cannot fulfill their number one constitutional duty (Protecting lives and properties) they should resign.

The people of Benue can decide if they want people roaming with animals or not.

Olalan:
Rants of a lazy girl, no doubt I feel so much for working class women coping with work stress and having to come back home to face the home front but i strongly belief nature has equipped women for such roles. What excuse would she give to women who despite their very busy schedule make it a point of duty to cook their family meals even in the availability of a maid.
Also it's not fair for a husband not to support the wife in domestic chores.

For bold: Really?
For italics: What excuse would you give your wife when you are not the richest man in the world?

So many people saying this is a good project seriously?

How the f**k is this a good project?

Anyone willing to tell me how it can even be remotely thought of as a good project?

Time to test this in court.

Wiseandtrue:
So NFF choose to make it where

Nike paid NFF for the rights to make the Jersey and the NFF has no say in were it is made.

swiperthefox:
How was he supposed to save more money when Ameachi and Co took him to court because of it?

The Federal government gets 52% of revenue shared. That's $10.2B out of the $20B.

Enice:
One like for you. Everyone above your mention is either an illiterate or mischieveous. The question was did GEJ add a dime after the initial investment to the SWF? No. Even at that what stops the PDP governors from doing the same thing if they know the ECA is illegal? Reno the goat fukker omokri is now a first class lier.

Thanks.
One of the problems with Nigeria is "herd mentality". People hardly ask questions or probe deep.

The sad part is after the money was shared, the FG got 52% but Reno conveniently forgot to address that.

Jerrypolo:
After the initial $1bn... they shared $20bn. Where did $19bn come from?. Take your drugs before zombism takes hold of you totally.

$20B came from the excess crude account. The FG got 52% which is $10.2B.
If $1B was put in the sovereign wealth fund, were is the remaining $9.2B? Why wasn't it added to the SWF?

Your parents spent money to send you to school, stop embarrassing them.

VULCAN:
If not that you are daft you would have understood that he recounted how Amaechi and co got the courts to declare SWF as being illegal and forced Goodluck to share the money.

I am well aware of this drama when it happened so unless you are a teen then I expect you should have been aware when the court case was on.

All these BMC's sef

All you illiterates who just wasted their parents money in school, the question is did GEJ save more than $1 billion in the SWF? There is only one answer and it's either a "yes' or a "no".
If I follow your explanation up there, its a no. So can you point out the lie in Buhari's statement?

The question "Did you save money" is different from the question "Why did you not save". Go back read the post again and find out which of the questions was asked and which was answered.

AerialMapper:
Only the FG can explain what they did with their 52% but let the state Governments also explain what they did with their 48%. Why stop at the FG; we want full accountability. Some of the Governors at the time are still in power albeit in a different party.

Everyone wants full accountability but this post talks about Reno saying Buhari lied which is not true. Reno also goes on to try and be clever by half by saying why the money was shared but he conveniently left out what the FG did with their share.

AerialMapper:
What you wrote is no different from what I wrote so I wonder why you are glorifying your pseudo-intelligence.

While you are at it, Mr. Last of a dying breed who can differentiate between am and I am, perhaps I should educate you that Is and It’s are not the same. Olodo

Nope, you agreed with Reno. There's a big difference between why GEJ did not save and if he saved.

This was your initial response

"And if you could take time to read the essay you'll realise the reason why there was no more money saved after the initial 1 billion. "


Its also important to note that the FG gets 52% of the money. So after the money was shared ($20B) the FG still got $10.2. Reno's statement doesn't explain what happened to that.

Try again.

clefstone:
Didn't you see where he said a little over 20billion dollars from the ECA meant for the SWF was shared to states between 2011 and 2014. Zombie

So Buhari was right?

MrSly:
I think you the one who doesn't understand English. Go read his essay again and get an interpreter if you need one.

Did GEJ save in the SWF after the initial $1billion?

Simple "yes" or "No".

Wiseandtrue:
It's not as if Nike will not make ga
Get it right!

The Nigerian Government also spent money right

Sports companies actually pay teams to make their kits, the sports company then makes it money by selling to the general public with the team also taking a small percentage.

So Nike paid the NFF to make the Nigerian Jersey.

Lightening:
If you reallyvread Reno's position, you will see the tomfoolery of your comment. To help you, the Nigeria governors filed a suit against Jonathan for saving money. He was compelled to share all the savings amongst the states. Guess who you are blaming for not saving? The man Jonathan. Such hyperbole.

So why would Reno say Buhari lied?

If GEJ did not save, then Buhari is not lying.

seniormallam:
which money should be saved in an account that was declared illegal by the court? If the country is good we shall both enjoyed it, forget about party supporting and let us work towards a better Nigeria

So how did Buhari lie?

frankwyte:
Maybe you don't understand English "there was perpetual injuction not to do that anymore by a 2 several court of the land. Going ahead will be tantamount to disobeying rule of law.

So how did Buhari lie?

udemzy101:
Zombie, oga you go school at all?

I should be asking you that question.

AerialMapper:
And if you could take time to read the essay you'll realise the reason why there was no more money saved after the initial 1 billion. I'm sure you just want a yes or no. The next logical question is why.... and this essay tells you why. Be smart

vertueptime:
U didnt get d part that fg was taken to court, everything had to pause pending determination of the suit.

fof1:
U ARE D BIG ILLITETRATE FOOL WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND SIMPLE GRAMMER. LIARS AND THIEVES ARE ONE AND SAME PEOPLE. U AND UR APC IS FULL OF LIES AND PROPAGANDA. CORRECT UR HEAD,PLS. READ OVER AGAIN FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING.

manuelzz:
You expect the then administration to still save money after Amaechi and his cohorts had taking the FG to court and pronounced the SWF illegal?

Simple sense u no get,even free sense wey nature dey give humans u kuku no get.

AerialMapper:

I guess the Nigerian education failed you guys so I don't blame y'all. Now let me try and explain it in a way you illiterates might understand. This is the question

"Did GEJ save money in the SWF after the initial $1 billion?"

For you olodo's, there can be only answer which is either "Yes" or "No". If Reno had said yes, then we can safely say Buhari lied. Talking about Amaechi, court case and the likes doesn't answer the question.

What Reno answered is "Why GEJ did not save" which invariably means Buhari is/was right.


The "What" is different from the "Why" and also different from the "how".

Is either Reno doesn't understand English or he's just being mischievous.
The question is after the initial $1 billion did GEJ save more money in the SWF or not?

This unnecessary essay didn't answer the question.

blessings2017:
Please my people, help me attempt the above questions. I need to make an informed decision and pay for my flight ticket as soon as possible.

Thanks

Your PR gives you the right to enter and leave Canada at will, it's nobody's business if you want to do short landing.

You can't be penalized for that.

Saintp:
I have always loved software development and this is the career I want to pursue in Canada. My current experience is in line management in two of the biggest multinational manufacturing firms here.
However, in preparation for a career switch, I'm training on programming. Right now, I know HTML, CSS and a little javascript but my interest is not in front-end web development. I am now working on my Java coding skills to get to some level before arriving Canada in say 2 months time.
Now, how do I break into the field over there as a beginner without experience? like getting entry level roles and building up from there.

Like I stated in my write up, it's going to be tough so if I were you, I'll start by getting a GitHub account and writing simple programs, each more complicated than the previous.
I'll also advise that you prepare your mind to earn less than your worth for a while 6-12 months just so you get that experience.

Also if possible, find an open source program and contribute, even if it's documentation. That'll be a very big plus on your CV.

Tojued:
So lets say someone who has never had anything to do with software development or programming, or even engineering (pure humanities student all the way) but has very natural proficiency with computers and troubleshooting. Where can such a person start from just to check if there is any possibility whatsoever in an IT career?

IT help desk.

Fusion23:
Nice one AZED, for me as an IT Consultant experience is also key..its not just easy to say u learn saleforce or dynamics crm and want to get a Senior consultant position, entry level position for this are also few....so if u can use scope to gather experience that would also be helpful.

Yeah, I think the whole industry just skipped training rookies. You need to have some sort of experience before you get in.

I see lots of people here who plan to go into IT once they get to Canada so this is me dropping my two cents on what I know.

First, IT is very very wide, even my side ( software) is broad. Most of the things I'll say here apply to the software side of things and also note this is my opinion not the gospel truth.

Breaking into software engineering is in my opinion the hardest part of the field and the reason for this is because it's a practical field. Recruitment tends to be show me what you can/have done rather than what you say you can do. Its why in my opinion people in frontend (things you see) get more opportunities than backend especially for folks just coming into the field.

Another reason breaking in is a little hard is because "we" tend to recruit by recommendations. In Nigeria I worked for a big firm and for a start up and both times when new folks were needed, people just ring their contacts and state their needs.

With that out of the way, let's talk about the positives.

IT probably has one of the lowest entry barriers, all you need is a laptop and the will and you are good to go.
Because it's a field were showing what you have done is better than your certificates, people started creating blogs talking about what they're learning so there's a ton of free materials to learn anything you want to learn all you need is search.

What do I recommend?
Start with web development (HTML, CSS and JavaScript). Get a GitHub account and put everything you do online. It doesn't have to be fancy but it gives you a portfolio to show potential employers. If you are visual person you'll probably tend to move towards frontend engineering, otherwise you'll move towards backend. There are some folks who are full stack (I currently am though I don't like frontend) who do both.

Its important to have a growth mindset. The field moves so fast that by the time you learn something it's already obsolete so you'll have to keep learning.
Also you'll have to learn patience because you'll spent more than fixing bugs than writing code and those bugs would push you to the end
- in python, adding an extra space would crash your program.
- I spent the whole of today trying to figure out why what I did yesterday wasn't working anymore.

As time goes, you'll get better so hang in there and never be afraid to make mistakes. Facebook had the motto "move fast and break things".


That's all I can think of for now, I'll add more things later.

I got my job via Reddit. Do not be afraid to try things

madridguy:
The match kick off time was after iftar so no reason for him to break his fast.

Aren't you supposed to end your fast when the sun goes down?

Do you know what time the sun goes in Kiev?

Chukazu:
Very myopic view I must say.

Have you seen deaf and dumb people that are exceptional and artistically gifted?

Deaf and dump people communicate.

Chukazu:
"English is just a medium of communication not a measure of intelligence "

No matter how intelligent you are, if you can't communicate you won't achieve anything.

enocoded4life:
Good day everyone, I want to renew my Nigerian driver's license that has expired but I was told I would be given the temporary license for now. The permanent one would be ready in three months time, meanwhile we would be landing in July.

1.Can I make use of the temporary license and the FRSC driving experience letter to get my Canadian licence?
2. If I have to use the permanent one in three months time, is it safe to have it mailed to me?
3. Should I just forget about renewing the licence and apply for the Canadian licence when we land?

No to number one.

Renew and get someone to get it for you and mail it.

Yewandequeen:
it's not 503 error.
