My opinion..find out from your banker how much can they loan you to build three storey building first and tell them that you will be repaying about #400k montly.this will save you on inflation rate and future building cost.etc...get a loan first then have a repayment flexi structure to be paying back..my thoughts..

‘Passport Offices will open from 6am to 6pm to clear backlog’ – NIS


The Comptroller-General, Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Mr Muhammad Babandede, said passport issuing offices all over the country will stay open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily to clear the backlog of applications.

Babandede also announced an increase in its production capacity of the passport booklets to beat the May 31 deadline set to clear backlog of passport applications.

He announced this while briefing journalists on the NIS passport reforms and recruitment exercise on Thursday in Abuja.

He said that the passport production centres across the country were working round the clock to clear the backlogs before the commencement of the new passport regime on June 1.

NIS boss also gave assurance that the service had enough booklet, adding that a total of 23,903 passports were currently awaiting collection by the applicants.

According to him, more than 35,000 passports had been produced in the last few days, with about 22,840 collected, 23,903 not collected and 28 damaged.

“The major challenge we have now is not booklet but production capacity and we have added two production lines to Ikoyi and Ibadan centres,” he said.

He warned that the any officer involved in passports racketeering would be dealt with going forward, adding that the erring officers were partly responsible for the uncollected passports.

On recruitment, NIS boss said that the current recruitment exercise was the best ever in immigration and assured all applicants of transparency and fairness.

He said that the exercise was being carried out in the six geopolitical zones of the country to take 4,000 applicants out of 6,005 applicants invited.

Hello everyone, I have something bothering my mind for a long time which I need an advice on.

I have a girlfriend who I really love so much, we were friends before I started falling for her, we've been together for long, I enjoyed her company, she's the best woman to me, she's everything you'll love a wife to be in character, caring, love and all.

Unfortunately, I have a problem, and the problem is that, she's not that beautiful to me. I'm a kind of person that doesn't like trying what my mind doesn't fully want, whenever I think of her, it's only that aspect I don't always like.

I've always fantasized of marrying someone very beautiful cos that's what I want. The problem is that this girl is so good to me. I have no problem with her, but I'm only thinking I can get fed up of her with time cos of her beauty which is not up to my expectation and I may likely cheat on her.

Please, I don't know what to do, can I still risk being with her or leave her?

...Buy make up product for her and see the wonders of beauty...Yeeye..Guy.. Scriptures say beauty is vain but a woman who fears the lord shall be praised.

Jesus himself didn't celebrate his birthday,why do you chose to celebrate it?worse still on a wrong date.

......You are getting it all wrong..Christmas day is a Day set aside to celebrate the birth of a Shepherd king that is born.

Bringout the chicken from the dustbin and place infront of her apartment in a neatly mode,then see her reaction and advise her that next time you know better now.

Bennycollins:
I had heard that if your monthly salary cannot take care of your annual rent, then that accommodation is beyond your means.

Ideally one-third of your annual basic salary is expected to cover up for the expected annual rents,that the flexibility rule on financial prudency.

My salary was 82k in 2015 and my rent was N350K exclusive of the agreement,Comissions and damages.i saved alot and do monthly contributions. Today the story is way different and my salary has outgrown my annual rentals. take a bold step and see how things will work out :that is what makes you a Man;a Man

My questions is If they lose such kind of money...who receive the loss money then...i need clarity.

Why are people comparing Trump and CNN News with that of AIT and NBC. CNN report objectivetivity in their reportage while AIT are reporting unbalanced information and this cast alot of aspersions on the Buhari Govt. this warrant breach of some broadcast code ethics and they were summoned with a caution letter earlier.In my opinion let AIT reports be professional and not partisan.Nobody will witch hunt them.Let them put their house in order.

NBC had suspended DAAR Communication Broadcast licence.Being Aired of Channels TV now. 2015 karma

Are You Aware?
• That Skye Bank Plc Chairman, Chief Tunde
Ayeni bought Nigeria's moribund M-TEL/
NITEL for $252M?
Are You Aware?
• That Skye Bank Plc Chairman, Chief Tunde
Ayeni bought the Ibadan (PHCN) Disco
Distribution?
Are You Aware?
• That Skye Bank Plc Chairman, Chief Tunde
Ayeni donated a whopping N2Billion to
President Goodluck's re-election fund on
Saturday 20th December?
Are You Aware?
• That President Goodluck Jonathan just after
2 days of receiving # 2B donation from Skye
Bank Plc chairman, has approved
increase in tariff of PHCN?
......
Its unfortunate that people who supports
Jonathan misrule to continue thinks they are
doing Buhari harm. The only harm being
done is to themselves and every other
Nigeria.
By 2019, our country would have been
completely sold to the highest bidder and
nothing will be left for us honest and hard-
working Nigerians.
If you hate Buhari because he is a Muslim, at
least look at his Vice, he is a Pastor.
If you hate Buhari because he doesn't have a
"Primary Six certificate", as some are
claiming, look at his Vice, he is a Professor of
Law. If you fear that as a formal military
leader, Buhari may have the tendency of not
upholding the rule of law, then look at his
Vice,
he is a distinguished Lawyer and a Senior
Advocate of Nigeria.
Even if you think Buhari has nothing to offer,
he cannot be as hopeless corrupt and
harmful to Nigerians as Jonathan's
Government.
You have no reason to allow this corrupt
administration to continue till 2019 when
you can booth them out now.

Wolison:
this ain't news at all
Cos it'd earlier been envisaged
He should be thanking GEJ for bringing him into limelight
Before now, no one knew who MAKU was
If not for the senatorial ambition of the late Prof. Dora Akunyili
He would have been in dudgeon and probably unknown
But make I ask oooo
Why do all this one time unknown ministers always think appointing someone in a ministerial position an acceptance to the public?
All of them wan be governor because Dem tink say they re now popular eg. Caleb olubolade frm police affairs minister

labran has been in govt since 1999 as deputy gov.

its time to bow out.

SegunMike: Anyway, INCASE data cannot be retrieved, @least for the benefit of future readers, just a brief summary of events between January and June:
1ST STAGE TEST
From February 19th/20th, invitation mails and SMSs were sent to successful applicants for the first stage Test for March 8th 2014.
The Test was administered by WAEC and was held simultaneously in different states in the country and some places in the UK. Info revealed that about 17,600 candidates sat for the first test.
Format
(Paper-Based), it was just basically General Mathematics to test your quantitative aptitude (no calculators), Logical reasoning, Verbal reasoning, and few general science and management questions. GMAT and GRE may be a bit useful.

2ND STAGE TEST
From May 20th/21st, mails were sent to both successful and unsuccessful candidates of the first test. About a week later, invites were sent for the test which was conducted within a week, that is: June 16th-20th 2014. Each day had the morning and afternoon batch.
Info revealed that a little above 5000 were invited for the 2nd stage.
Format
SHL Computer Based. Practice questions at SHLdirect or assessmentday.
For 2007 set, find their format here:
https://www.nairaland.com/46185/lng-test-speed-key
https://www.nairaland.com/46528/lng-test-format-today-engineering
However, this year’s Test was slightly different, just 4 sections:
-Numerical
-Verbal
-Abstract
- Data checking (non-engineers) and Mechanical Reasoning (Engineers)

For now, we await the result of the 2nd test to proceed to the next stage which is the Assessment Centre.
But almost 240 pages gone?? ....well asides the necessary info, we had lots of arguments majorly, other issues e.g Msc, Sports, Movies, work-place issues, break down of candidate selection for each stage, SHL questions Questions and answers…….etc.

Here is a link to a 2007 thread, but started from “after their 2nd test”
https://www.nairaland.com/48041/which-way-nlng
I don try, though I know lots more happened during that period but I hope I was able to bridge that gap @least to a reasonable extent sha.
Please incase there’s any addition or correction, others may wanna contribute.

In Memory of Data lost (January 10 –June 27)
*Hoping for its resurrection*

you did a great job.....regards
