As for me, I thank God have been able to submit my ego to learn Decoration and Cake baking before getting admission back then, you can't believe I am the only guy in my school that can do that, so i don't have problem financially during and after my school days. Now, there is no more easy white collar job, don't you think i need to thank God Again and again.

I will share an important things with you on this thread later

This is a matter of urgency, it is what you must have in mind and the benefit of staying on this social platform is to acquire more knowledge and Moral.

At the present economic condition of the country, believe me you must learn a particular trade or handiwork for the following reason.

1. Financial backup apart form white collar or gorvernment Job.
2. Fitness
3. Your children will be beneficial
4. Your Retirement age will be more active
5. Entrpenueship and skill development
and many more.

What trade have you learn so far and why do you advice someone to go for it.

The question may look rhetorical, but it is state of mind, when a particular amount will always ring the bell when you hear of a job opportunity somewhere.

At a minimum, there are some job that you can't bargain for, when you ask other people, they will never tell you so you feel unsure of yourself on how to start.

Let the thread keep rolling and let people share from your strength.

Do you have a particular Radio station you always like to listen to anytime you are within the coverage, and why do you like the radio station so much.?

I wonder why some write up make a front page, but i realise it could be so informative and realistic.

Living alone sometimes shows the level of maturity and independence/ confident.

While living with someone else may be lack of financial ability or fear.

I had live alone and also live with someone at a particular period of my life, but i tell you. NOTHING LIKE PRIVACY. You got no worries

Hi NL.

As we all know Ibadan is the largest city in West Africa and the second largest in Africa.

The propaganda is based on the fact that it is very hard to connect employers and employees together, when you see most of the post about job opportunities is almost about Lagos, of which there are many chance to be more specific about Ibadan Job.

With due respect for those that had created a thread for unannounced job on NL

Here is another better link for Ibadan Applicant, both employer and employees can meet here as far as Ibadan is concern.

Good Luck

@femmy, why did you call him Gbagun?

It is not funny when you hear some spelling and pronouncitaion from different mother tongue of Nigeria. Now let's start with the fastest growing plant in the world.

Yoruba named " Oparun or Gbagun"

Ibadan --- Machina ( Yobe State )
total Time frame = 20hrs ( 2 days journey ) stop over @ Kano.

Interesting journey. Machina is 5km close to Niger Republic

Tomorw Monday 19th August, Esuru ( Yam ) will be use for sacrifice and you can eat as much as possible because, everyone will be rejoicing for seeing another year.

Ore Yeye O......

I really don't want to deviate from the original thread, i will like to create another thread for that, and i hope we can work together to promote our culture in diversity @ Pagan 9ja.

The Emir is my Boss during my NYSC, the man is learned his name is HRH, Bukar Albishir Machinama

He is the one that sponsored the said Macuf Festival. Then i was posted to the Local gorvernment as a tour guide and researcher

There is one big question, and the fact is how much is the participatory level of our people in this kind of festival.

Everybody gone with foreign culture, every year gorvernment spend a large amount of money on pilgrimage while we neglect our own potentials.

May We never suffer.

According to an Emir of Machina Local Gorvernment in the Northern Nigeria during his speech at the Macuf Festival, He said " while people are claiming that our local religion is bad and have many taboo and limitation, why can't we remove the limitation and remodel it for full participatory "

Thanks for your precise contribution, but all the same, it is Africa. Remember the shrine is one of the few sponsored shrine by UNESCO in the whole world.

Among the few tourist site sponsored by the UNESCO is the popular Osun Osogbo shrine/ groove, It is a symbol of African culture and religion.

Osun osogbo festival attract more than 200,000 visitors from around the globe every August of the year. Most of the visitors are either worshipers or Tourist, And don't be suprise when people rushed down to the river to get a water from the shrine in different container. It has been claimed that the water is a source of spiritual healing for the believers.

This year festival is going to be more colourful with the full participation of the Ogbeni Rauf administration and also the Private establishment like MTN, Lagos Airport Hotel, And many more.

The festival commence on the 19th of August and the grand finale is 23rd of August @ the shrine.

Let celebrate our culture.
Ore yeye oo.......
