Maybe because you are still very young and not looking for a wife yet thats when you will understand the kind of ladies we have in our society today.

Yeah i'm still a toddler.


Ever heard the saying "Nothing new under the sun"?

Am i the only one who thinks guys who write stuffs like this have a hard time getting girls?

To all those asking about aircraft carriers, how many countries have aircraft carriers?

There are about 20 aircraft carriers in service in the whole world, the US has 10 of them.

The other world power Russia has one and it's about to go out of service for the next 3 years.

Our senators are childish. You can't compel the man to wear the uniform and you can sack him so why all the fuss about uniform?

Earth2Metahuman:
but under presidency won't suffer political interference right?

The CBN governor right now has the power to make decisions without consulting anyone....Every sane country in the world does this. We should not be regressing.

Earth2Metahuman:
why not give reason

Monetary policies should be free from political interference.

Earth2Metahuman:
She is right.

Imagine ministry of finance suggesting a low interest rate for small scale business while a capitalist dunderhead at cbn insist on high interest rate.


Cut cbn power now.

She's wrong. The CBN should be autonomous.

DocHMD:
Why should anyone be made to pay retroactive duties on a car he innocently bought from a dealer 10 years ago because the dealer connived with some pot-belly custom officers to circumvent the system? Who should pay for the inadequacies of customs? The citizens?
.

Ignorance is not an excuse under law.
Going by your thinking, why should anyone have to give up a stolen property bought innocently in the market?

musicwriter:
These are TV programs created by the Chinese and Russians, for themselves, of themselves, by themselves!!.

You specifically said the Chinese and the Russians would never allow big brother, now you want to change the goal post?

Just learn and move on. I cannot beat you.

musicwriter:
The Nigerian TV airwaves is being controlled by foreigners, and they decide what aires of our TVs. As for the purpose of big brother Naija, it's one of the very many western schemes to engineer the minds of Africans to think like simpletons- unable to think critically at a problem and solve it. Watching such programs would reduce your IQ and that's exactly why it was created for Nigerians and Africans at large. They've figured out that reducing the IQ of black people is the only way to keep us forever subdued. In a country like China or Russia, such TV program would be blocked cause it's a disaster to the public.

That's a link for big brother Russia.

That's a link for big brother China

Stop saying things you don't know, it actually exposes your ignorance to the world.

SoftP:
This is not our culture' African women are braised with decency, discipline and respect...whatever it seems, I bet, most of them, if not all' are nothing but baby mamma's..

You do know that it was the whites that brought clothes for Africans to wear right?

You don't need any certificate. You need knowledge.

You need to understand what you were taught in your undergraduate courses. Know why a certain theory/rule is the norm.

Your Bsc certificate is enough to get you inside the room, your knowledge would keep you in the room.

The only person that can push Ali out is Buhari and that is not going happen. The earlier we move on the better him.

Kakamorufu:
really. u sure?

There are some areas you can walk in.

ITbomb:
What are they doing on the boat, I thought I would see divers

The Lagoon is not deep so there's no need for divers.

amynah94:
The principal blames the enemies of the school for what happened, and the vice principal said they're being crucified just because two students died among many......like seriously

That's the Nigerian way.
Bring an allegation against a politician he blames it on enemies.
Bring an allegation against a religious leader, he blames it on enemies.

SnowJay92:
You sound like you believe that rubbish, even if it was you doing that selection, would you randomly pick a third class you don't know and haven't tested ahead of everyone else? what would be your motive for that?

Yes i believe the guy, people get Federal government jobs in Nigeria without connections.
Also you miss the point. If there are 500k applicants and the plan is to invite 100k, once the 100k is met, processing stops. The remaining 400k would be unlucky because nobody would check their CV. From that 400k there would be people with first class who would also complain that they were sidelined because they know nobody when the truth is there were sidelined because nobody checked their CV.


Until someone can come up with an efficient way to deal with Mass applications, this sort of thing would continue to happen.

SnowJay92:
Whatever happened to Applicant Tracking software....and see bro, if they just selected on first come first served basis, it's okay, if they randomly sampled from the bulk because they can't go through all the Cvs, fine....the lucky ones should have it. Why pick out only those whom calls were specifically made on their behalf? That is my point, not like i have any personal interest.

There's someone on this thread that said he got through and he didn't know anyone. Not everybody who got through knew somebody.

greenmonk:
So teachers shoulder also be deployed in the industries to test for their students who escaped with undeserved grades.
If the custom really want to do their job they should man the borders properly and network with vehicle registration outfits, not to come to road to terrorise the populace and subject them to undeserved intimidations.

Going by your logic, there's no need to report stolen goods to the police. The police should have prevented the thieves from stealing it in the same place.


The Ali policy would drastically reduce smuggling because people would know that you car can be reposed any time for missing customs paper.

Mountbatten:
More RAM on a phone doesn't necessarily mean it would run smoother than one with less. Yeah, you would be able to run more apps in the background without bogging down the device but software optimisation is more important.

Take for example, my 3GB RAM Android phone lags on performing certain tasks while my iPhone with 2GB RAM has never lagged. Processor speed, optimisation and performance is more important than RAM size.

The iPhone is more efficient because of the language used to write apps. Android apps are mostly written in Java which has a garbage collector, while the iPhone doesn't allow Objective C to use a garbage collector.

Most top end android phones, use the same processor or a similar processor to the iPhone.

dazdilijae:
Some of u are either dubious or just plain foolish the revenue drop came from useless policies of this Govt and Ali thru his actions like ban on rice closure of land boarders to vehicle import etc. Now he wants to sure up revenue thru illegal levies on OLD REGISTER Vehicles inside Nigerian Roads against the laws of the land thus the advice by senate to shove it but he refused rather wanted to prove he was above the law$
Come to think of it even if they not senators and he is not CGC can one man be superior to 109 people? Majority must always ve their way that is the beauty of democracy
Those senator represent Nigerians and Nigerian ve spoken out loud and clear HAMEED ALI is incompetent and proud so must either be tamed or saked
Who cleared the cars or failed to do so that the poor man who managed to save up 2 buy it on the streets of Nigeria should lose the car in the name of import duties?
I pity all you propaganda propelling agents trying hard to divert the attention from the substance Hameed Ali was not summoured to the Senate rather the CG of customs was and if he represents that rank then he MUST appear as the CGC not as a nobody
The CGC has a uniform with his ranks same way the Commander in Chief of the armed force may not be a military man but Must wear the uniform to certain occasions
ENOUGH OF THE IMPUNITY OF THIS GOVERNMENT always looking for ways to side track issues.

OGA the Customs boss doesn't have the power to ban any item. That comes directly from the Federal executive council. Educate yourself please.

cktheluckyman:
So you want this criminals to start harassing Nigerians on the road after collecting money from smugglers years ago?

Well ignorance is not an excuse in law. If you buy a stolen car, you are guilty same way as if you buy a car without custom papers.

SnowJay92:
It's quite different, companies hire by referral and that's OK, it's their private business. But here we're talking about the federal civil service commission where every qualified Nigerian should be given an equal opportunity to jostle for the available positions, and please hiring someone simply because their dad knows someone who knows someone in the government is not referral, it's nepotism.

For every vacant position in the civil service, you can be assured that you would get at least 50 applicants. So this advertised jobs, i willing to bet they got at least half a million cvs. The question is who is going to go through to cvs? Nobody is employed to go through cvs talk more of a civil service that is known to be lazy.

I am very positive that they did not go through all the cv's submitted so it might be possible that the OP's cv was not even opened, and they will be lots of qualified people who will think they didn't get in because they know nobody when in actual fact, nobody looked at their cv because they had already gotten the required numbers.

Is this fair, NO but the reality is going through CV's is not fun and nobody likes to do it so people take the easy way out.

SnowJay92:
You're missing the point entirely, the service commission could have shortlisted everyone irrespective of grade, and find out who's smarter using whatever criteria they deem fit, the question is why deny many people the chance of being interviewed at all? Moreso people who are more qualified, at least according to their academic achievement.

You are the one missing the point. If i have to recruit today for a general position, i'd probably get about 50k cv's for 20 available spots. I don't have the time to look at 50k cv's so you can bet that the people who would get shortlisted are those who submit to me personally(via connection) and the 1st number of X people i can get from the general pool.

I have worked in organisations that have a general jobs@company email and people are constantly sending cvs but when its time to recruit, nobody goes to that email, instead people use word of mouth to tell colleagues there's a vacancy to be filled.

For this job the OP is talking about, you can be best assured that the number of cvs submitted would be close to 500k, who the F*** is going to go through 500k cvs?

That is for you. In all the places I have worked and interviews i have done both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria, no one has ever asked about my grade. I have interviewed people and i don't care about their grades but how smart they are.

Also you need to know that who you know is very important in every country on this earth. You have a higher chance of getting a job at NASA, Google, Facebook if you know someone working there than just posting your CV.

To those still in school, there are two parts to schooling
1) Getting an education
2) Networking.

Do not forsake either of them as they are both very important.

All the best in your search OP.

Sinkills:
Ok. I prefer being 'ignorant' about medical profession but knowledgeable about the requirements for heaven. So I repeat, if 'managing gynaecology cases' involves compulsorily perusing the nudity of the opposite sex and fumbling with their sensitive organs, then it is unchristian. Thanks.

You sir are a disgrace to Christianity and are no different from the Pharisees. The Bible says a man who looks at a woman lustfully commits adultery and vice versa, the question to ask is does a woman have to be naked to look at her lustfully?
If the answer is no, then Men and women should not live in the same town/country together because a man be him a doctor, banker, lawyer or teacher would see females and there's a possiblity for lust to creep in.

amiablesystems:
but if this guy was not a Northerner, by now Buhari would have turned to Sango.. What a shameless fascist leader.

Has nothing to do with being a Northerner. The President hasn't fired the CBN governor and he is not a northerner.

So the Nigerian senate is wasting tax payers money all because of a uniform?

1) The senate didn't appoint him so they can't fire him
2) Are they more interested in him wearing the uniform or in him performing on the job.

The person who hired Col Ali has no problem with Col Ali not putting the uniform, so what's the senate's problem?

amiablesystems:
Can anyone please educate us awith procedures that are required to have this guy replaced pls. His nuisance is oozing to the skies

The president has to fire him but you and i know that is not going to happen.

moralistic:
then he shouldn't head the custom in the first place

You should tell the person that appointed him.

rozayx5:
seize his budget and disgrace him

Customs is a revenue generating agency. There's nothing the senate can do to him aside make noise.

There's nothing the senate can do to him.
The senate made so much noise about the former SEC DG Arunma Oteh but she finished her tenure.

The Senate can only bully you if you depend on government to survive.
