So your siblings were beneficiaries of a corrupt Government recruitment process?

Isn't that what fixing means?

Don't even try to twist. What you meant was that the man favoured them during the recruitment exercise at the expense of other better applicants or they were recruited through the backdoor.

But you are always quick to point out Tinubu's corruption when people close to you have it incorporated in them.

If that’s what fixing means to u, then that’s fine .

For those interested in what happened back then, INEC and NPC recruit AD-Hoc staff by asking senior civil servants to bring in young school leavers to submit their O’levels and face an interview panel .

Normally I don’t feed trolls and would’ve easily ignored this mention, but I just wish to set the records straight for reasonable folks who read beyond political agenda

Agents don't know more than this.

In my Naija hustling days, Many guys wey no fit get visa for themselves will be forming agent and collecting money

For instance you know to get student visa you need say 40M, In your account you have max 6M, Yet one agent is asking you to drop 1M to him say he will get you visa

I go need sit down go through these things well well

People outside Lagos can never fully understand the craziness surrounding a Lagos based career.

One of the female associates we worked together when she first started work, her dad will have to wait for her at the bus stop to follow her home else how does a 23yr old girl drop at a typical Lagos bus stop at 11pm sometimes with laptop.

Even me at way over 6ft I've been obtained a few times and usually have lose change to give boys on out street but dem werey sometimes go change am for me. The crews I know will deliberately leave and another crew will come. So no familiarity and billing must be at premium. Otherwise they deflate your car tires or roughen you.

You also have to adopt other skills like taking off your suit and wear something rough. Also have a lighted cigarette in your hand and walk like an alaye so they don't think you are a soft target plus learning the language of the street.

Darkness no dey respect anyone

Many young married girls had problems in their marriage abi how do you manage getting home by 10pm and above daily. Unless your husband works I'm the same industry

This was When I first started work and was staying with my parents. Either my mum or dad will follow me to bus stop as early as 5.30am cos bad Boys were always lurking around in the dark with cutlass and locally made pistol looking for how to dispossess you of ur phone and laptop.

When I was working in Lagos 15 to 20yrs ago. I lived in Egbeda and worked in VI.
From Monday to Friday I never saw my area in daylight because my alarm wakes me up by 4:15 by 4:50 I must leave my bus stop otherwise I won't get to VI before 9.

Around that time, you will have the chance of beating 6 different traffic points in Roundabout, Cement/Ikeja Along, Bank Anthony, Iyana Oworo, end of 3rd mainland/Obalende then VI traffic.

If you don't leave before 5am and you are already in Roundabout traffic be sure you are entering all those 6 traffic points at least

Work typically ends by 7pm ish but to avoid those traffic points VI to Egbeda its advisable to wait till 9:30 so I can speed through and get home by 11pm.

No time for breakfast nor dinner. Eat dinner either at Mama Kass or in traffic(bread and akara). By the time I get home at 11. I know I have 5hrs of sleep so everything to make me fall asleep as quick as possible must be done. This includes shayo, shekpe anything to ensure those mosquito buzz does not interrupt the short sleep.
These timeliness now get even worse if there is Holy Ghost night or any accident or robbery on the way. Holy Ghost night 2005 was when I took Okada from VI to Mende. Okada over 3rd mainland was not a funny thing. But those that drove that day didn't leave VI standstill traffic till 3am. Traffic that came all the way from redemption camp

The only time it makes sense is when clients decide to lodge us in hotels on the Island. Which means you work till 11pm at times you even work all night especially if they have a tight deadline. If your friends get lodged you even beg him to squat with him to avoid those traffic

Saturday and Sundays when I don't work I still have to go to Iponri for ACCA lessons.

I have a friend who was transferred by his bank job to Ibadan. I will be in the office in VI before he wakes up, by the time I'm leaving office at 9:30 he's already in bed.

My options now became leaving free accommodation in Egbeda to rent in Surulere. I tried a 3 bedroom flat in James Robertson. The landlord told me 600k a year and 2 yrs needed making 1.2m

So I just made the decision at 25-26yrs doing all these wahala daily how will I make it to 50yrs without major illness.

That supposed money for rent plus savings na wetin I gather to japa.

When I started working in corporate America my house was 5mins from work so I can wake up at 8 and get to work by 8:30. Some times I even time my lunch to come home and watch Champions league matches.

U na OG; U don see things

Express entry. You must ace IELTS. As in get about 8. You need to have a higher degree like Masters. Age under 33 to have the best chance. Evaluate your transcripts through WES or IQAS.

The cutoffs are so high these days so anything that can give you an advantage like learning French, or even marrying a younger girl who has better points she will be the primary applicant and you and go as a dependent. If you will drop the proof of funds a young 27 to 30yr old girl with a Masters or PhD. That can clear IELTS will do

I have a higher degree already and a professional qualification with job experience. But I think I will be allow my spouse apply as Primary applicant jare to maximize the points.

Itsrm:
This is the summary.

Sometimes the will is there but they have to do the bidding of those who helped them get there.

Another good example is Lauretta Onochie the new NDDC chairman. People helped her get there. She must do whatever they want in return.

We all see these things even in our personal life. Someone gave me a job of 15k twice and he is asking me on WhatsApp if there's anything for him.

I had to ask again just to be sure I understood what he was saying. You should see the way he responded like it was his right.

I just ignored him. He can take the job elsewhere next time.

Kickback is official unofficially in Nigeria, almost everybody want's to make something from putting u on. There are only few people who help u for the sake of doing good nowadays.

I can't forget our late former neighbour(God rest his soul ) The man fixed my siblings for INEC Ad-hoc job in 2003 elections, he also fixed them for the 2006 National population census job as enumerators. That was how the elderly one between my siblings thought of appreciating him and bought some gift items for him. If u see the way the man reprimanded my siblings ehn....He said how much did they make from the ad-hoc job that they are wasting money buying something for him? He felt they were being fooolish and do not know how to manage money ...... He asked them to return the gifts to the seller and even offered to follow them to return it if the seller refuses to refund them. He was one of the good ones.

But Buhari campaigned for him recently in the Northeast now.

The way these players move around countries, cities and clubs, what about their families? How do they cope?

I think this has always been a major issue in the life of those footballers . That was why Peter Cech joined arsenal cos his family doesn’t want to move outside london . I think Mikel had to join Middlesbrough cos his family wants to stay in the UK and not Turkey/other parts of Europe .

How these guys are ruling us i don't know
Majority of them can't even stand logic test

Don't be deceived, majority of those guys are very very intelligent. Emiefele that u see graduated top of his class during undergraduate years, He was the CEO of a top Bank in the country.

Its just that when they get political appointments they just decide to do things that will suit their selfish interest and that of their political associates. If u know the kind level wey Emefiele don run ehn, even his family members are not left out.

I spoke with a friend in Canada, he said the easiest way to Canada is also through the education route. The skilled express entry takes a long while and there are no guarantee sef.

Said someone he knew took about 19 months for the him to get the Visa.

It’s expensive ! School in those schools abroad without government subsidizing education like we have in Nigeria can make one’s pocket cry .

Unlimited22:
Lmao.

By the grace of the Almighty, mine will be funded

How una dey take run the funded scholarship stuff ? E be like I go start paying attention to those LinkedIn posts wey dey pop up for my timeline dey discuss fully funded scholarship abroad .

The reason why I wasn’t considering the student visa route is because I’m tired of going to school . If I will be considering the student route then it’s my spouse that will go to school while I will be hustling o

ednut1:
In my opinion only go to countries where you can easily get papers after studying. Many of these countries want your money and want you out. So travelling to countries with harsh immigration policies via study visa looks one kind

Hello Chief can I send u a mail ? I want to ask some questions concerning Canada express entry for skilled labour

I need people wey don follow the route recently to put me through, I no wan dey do trial and error dey waste time and resources.

You then add the fact that when he sang some of these songs we were still in the oil boom era.

People must have initially looked at him like he was crazy.

I think they did. Most parents warned their children to stay away from his Afrika shrine back then due to the open use of drugs in his Kalakuta Republic.

I have been preaching that Canada gospel here for a while. No guarantees in life but for now it offers the best chance of social integration, good quality of life and economic security.

Omo me I usually wake up around 7.30am and get to work at 9am on a couple of days and some other days I wake up around 9.30am to get to work around 11am. I can’t come and kill myself.

Wetin I need now na mentorship of person wey recently japa go canada thru skilled express entry route, If u know anybody like that abeg hala me.

My guy that sold everything including car, TV, household items, etc to japa enter UK for masters; He dey tell me e no easy. He said as student u only get to work menial jobs and the jobs aren't easy. Imagine having to work in a store like shoprite in East London acting as cashier, manager and supply chain manager .

I empathise with you bro. I used to start my day at similar time to you but I'm acutely aware how much more one could get done in the time Lagos forces you yo waste in traffic

These days I work fully remote, but pre-pandemic I also used to leave my house at 4.30 to go to the gym. I will baff there and drive 5 minutes to the train to catch the 6.20 train to London 150+ miles away.

When I would get to London. I would walk 30 minutes to work for extra cardio and would still get to work before 9am

It's 6.45 am here now and I'm just about to leave the gym. I will go home, baff, have breakfast, do the school run, and still be at my desk for 9am.

My bro, I can't lie to you. Japa is the only way. In all your doings, aim to leave that hell hole.

I do work remotely once a week, and that once is usually a very good day; I Have 4 working days to be on site out of 5. I leave home very early and do not experience traffic going and I close early so I usually get home before dinner time.

E be like say na Canada be the way this year. I must set things in motion cos that UK education route levels no favor me at all.

[color=royalblue]I understand that Nigeria is hard, but a lot of people need to take care of their health; bodily and mentally.

I left home 4:45, and queues are everywhere.

Like...people dey lodge for petrol stations now.

I thank God for not letting me subject myself to that kind of stress[/color]

Personally I believe those people on the queue are peopl who live on the outskirts of lagos/neaighboring communities like ota, oju ore, iyana iyesi, atan, Itele and co. I believe people like that do not have the luxury of buying fuel at almost 300 naira which most of their neaigborhood filling station will sell. So they wake up earlier than me and u, find their way to the city of Lagos and quickly form a queue hoping to buy fuel before midday.

The whole fuel scarcity is so annoying that there seem to be no end in sight cos the government can't even come up with a genuine reason where there's scarcity.

Lagos people.

Some of us never even bath and If not for children going to school, I'll still be sleeping.

Any movement wey involve mainland for morning , if u no commot mailand before 6.am u will regret ur decision . Lagos traffic wahala too much .

iamoyindamola:
I they pass that route everyday to and fro
Traffic for there no beans

I only pass that route to in the morning before 6.am . ..I can never try it in the evening . That route and Alausa to Allen na traffic wahala headquarters for mainland .

I passed Mobolaji Bank anthony few minutes ago and by 5.50 am queue don long from the Total filling station on that road to Ikeja Cantonment close to Maryland bus stop .

It will funny to see the 100’s of people on that queue vote APC continuity at the polls come February 2023.

Meanwhile A001 should forget writing physics textbook in Yoruba. Oyinbo has already done it. In the words of one of my padi, "White man done go far oh"

On the contrary , na this kind screenshot for make Teejay write the physics textbook , the English to Yoruba translation in ur screenshot is absolute gibberish

One thing I don’t like about the ChatGPT app is that instead of telling u it doesn’t have an answer to ur query , it will give u some well packaged gibberish and if u don’t really know
Much about that subject u are on ur own.

iamoyindamola:
No e no they, I doubt people still buy at 175
Nnpc for our side no they sell for 175

I bought 185 yesterday at AP filling station close to me . There was much queue but that was due to the attendants preferring to sell to those with kegs more than those of us who brought cars. I just respect myself full tank when e reach my turn .

There’s an NNPC close to me that sells for 169 but the word on the street is that they’ve adjusted their pump .

Who done use this ChatGPT? E be like lecturers done enter one chance

Distance learning degrees in open ended fields like philosophy and sociology go hear am

I downloaded the ChatGPT when the hype about it was much online towards the end of last year . The AI got some of the questions I posed typed , but questions that l localized to Nigeria , the results it brought out weren’t so good like that .

I typed some of the questions that were major issues to us during my indergraduate days and the truth is the answers it brought weren’t convincing and wouldn’t have earned me 20 over 30 marks back then .

One thing I think we always neglect when pushing the club to get a back-up for Partey is the fact that it’s not going to be an easy negotiation with any player that fits the party deputy role .

I mean it’s going to be difficult getting a top player who is not more than 27 years old, is as good as Partey in that DM role and will choose to sit on the bench till Partey gets injured . Whichever player we get to agree to that must surely be an arsenal fan from childhood .

I think the best bet is to hope Edu uses im his Brazilian sources to get a South American that can easily adapt and get signed as Partey’s deputy

Jodera:
Yeah, I didn't expect him to start, just as a squad depth to be in the bench. He doesn't necessarily needs to play sef.

Imagine if he was available on the bench in that Newcastle match . He could’ve come-on at the time nothing was working for us upfront and change the fortune of the game in our Favour . I didn’t complain for sub that day cos I know none of those on the bench can come on and help us in that kind of match . Now we should be gliding pass such hurdles going forward .

Sickness wey dey make the man switch off completely in the middle of a speech and he even makes strange sounds mouthing incoherent while at it .

At least nobody will say they were deceived to vote for him like we did Yar Adua cos social media wasn’t at its peak then . That’s why Obasanjo could be shouting “ Umaru ! Where are u? They say u are sick “ . Now we are privileged to see the man in his current mental state and take decisions ourselves .
