For real? You haven't seen CNN news anchors say things like this? Have you watched Don Lemon? You haven't seen people on public TV calling the president "derogatory" names?

Don Lemon is nice...watch Fox news!

DeHumbleTboy:
brief me on this if you don't mind.

That's the customs acessment notice for a Samsung A20 sent to Nigeria from the US.

DeHumbleTboy:
23 view no response hmmm Na nairaland be this abi na new profile on Facebook?? Why nl no fit help person for God sake?? No be money I de beg see characters now if na money I comebeg on nl that na gobe na. Why guys de stingy for common advise too Pathetic

Ok, till now...no one has told you about custom's fee on imported items.

For those saying New Jersey is dry...Isn't the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island in New Jersey or accessible through NJ?

The next best advise for US Visa applicants outside of solid ties is to fill the DS-160 form as carefully and accurately as possible.
Come to think of it...that's the only document that goes before every applicant to the embassy and in some cases stay with them for months before the applicatant even show face. I think the embassy does so much more scrutiny on that form than we know...

Climbs down from my OP...

A funny analogy usually comes to my mind when the chances of been granted a visa is dicussed here...

In the good old days of senior secondary education, you get to write an exam called "mock" before you face the almighty WAEC.
That exam helps the students guage their preparedness and more importantly take them as close as possible to "WAEC fever"...lol

I can equate the scritiny applicants are subjected to here as that mock exam. Just like mock examination questions are prepared by teachers who are WAEC examiners themselves, here we have seasoned contributors who at some point as applicants themselves learnt from thier own mistakes and from others.

Some of the contributors are like Further maths teachers...@Twoods , usually very tough, some are Literature teachers...@seyewest , experts at word play. Some here are unserious like my Physics and English teachers...I no mention names o...I will most likely be the PE teacher, not because I am so fit but I gbadun the sidelines, enjoying the drama which is sometimes against the run of play.

Will it be logical for a student who failed Further Maths woefully to request a remarking of his script by a Yoruba teacher?

Climbing back to my OP(Observation Post)...

You have watched too many episodes of "keeping it real with Adeola"

Convert to dollars and you have the answer. Of this is about 30,000 to 60,000 USD per annum, that's roughly 18 Million pre tax not forgetting benefits. The new environment, work for you, kids and family life are additional benefits that can't be quantifiable. Plus we have our own Nairaland doctor doing fine in Sydney.


Sir, please go abeg. Australia is an amazing country and the benefits of having worked for an international firm in your CV is amazing


Allow me usher in our doctor The duke himself


DukeofNZ bro, this our brother needs some answers.

My guy, it is not everything that you need to convert to Naira.
He will not be paying his bills in Naira!

@OP, check the cost of living in the country you plan to relocate to and the type of job you have been offered.
As country hard reach for Nigeria, 850k per month salary is no beans.

Jahahha

Some of the workers on your list are confirmed ghost workers...

what re u smoking?

He is not smoking anything bad even if he puffs once in a while...

He just told you the blunt truth, most advance countries run on wifi backed by satellite, Coax/Fiber optic cables.

Nigeria runs on GSM to deliver data and it is greatly affected by weather, geographical locations and our poor infrastructure.

You'll be surprised at the speed you will get when you browse on mobile data in a country like the US and it comes at an expensive price!

Is not like the kind of primary school you attended. Well it simply means graduates from those field

Yeah, it can never be like the primary school I attended.

The Nigerian health SCARE sector!!!

Na the student mark the test or na the teacher write the test?

Same writing...confirm from the date!

You are so on point with this post.

I have watched how supporters from both sides have called anyone with dissenting opinion(s) unprintable names.
it shouldn't be so difficult to respect other people's opinion.

Macnnoli4:
In 2015, the parties without any political position to their name were de-registered by INEC and disallowed from participating in the 2015 elections but the parties have rebounded again as at 2019

Wrong info...

Gani Fawehinmi sued INEC in 2002 and the number of parties have grown since then...

https://allafrica.com/stories/200207080172.html

The mad rush to form political parties in Nigeria is a phase of our democratic development that I believe will soon pass...
We must not easily forget the reason INEC allowed the multi party system but Nigerians are always willing to exploit the flexibility of our laws.

This system has given us a LP governor, YPP senator elect and numerous house of assembly members, it has also reduced the number of politically motivated killings in the race for party nomination.

The US whose political system we imitate has about 40 political parties with the option of independent candidature, out of which only two have won presidential elections for close to 170 years.

Our laws should be reviewed further to allow for independent candidates since as it stands now only aspirants sponsored by a political party can stand in an election.

Isaacmacdon:


And how sure are you that 29million was actually 29million?

If you have a different figure you can please share...

Isaacmacdon:


So, now, I want to ask you? What proof do you have that the citizens failed to come out to vote in mass? Or, didn't you know that even if they did, this current government had a way of check-mating that?

The proof is that only 29 million came out from more than 80 million registered citizens, that's about 35%.
Can you proof that anyone prevented those who came out from voting?

There is a growing number of people especially youths who care less about the process of electing their leaders but will later come around to complain about their leaders.

I laugh when people push the narrative that the CJN was removed because of the litigation that might arise from the outcome of these elections...

The supreme court usually adjudicate with a panel of judges...even if the former CJN was not removed, he would have to read the majority judgement and there can also be a minority ruling if there are dissenting views...

Nigeria as a country has vested absolute powers in the office of the president and absolute power they say corrupts absolutely...

What of Rev. Fr. Mbaka's God who told Peter Obi that his romance with Atiku was going to end in disgrace?

Did we at anytime ever wonder why the countries we started nationhood together had since left us behind?
While the citizens of those countries rolled up their sleeves and began working towards making their nations great...
We folded our hands, knelt down and started praying...

Even one of the major holy books advocate working before praying not praying before working or praying and praying as we are used to...

correctguy2010:


The calculation is auto and i don't think i missed any value but you can cross check my APC values with yours since you have both tables. Thanks

I just did, i mixed up some figures in Ekiti.

correctguy2010:
After the results from all states, APC won the 2019 presidential election.
APC won 19 states
PDP won 18 states (FTC is included)

APC had total votes of 15,191,847
PDP had total votes of 11,262,978
Difference in votes is 3,928,869

Total Valid Votes is 27,324,683
Total Rejected Votes is 1,289,607
Total Votes Cast is 28.614,189

APC Total Percentage is 56%
PDP Total Percentage is 41%

By my own calculation done with excel, APC has a total of 15,263,857 votes.
If you have the figures on excel, you could check again.

All other figures you posted are on point, Good Job!

God punish him? Is that all?

Zero action, just running to the cover of (God) religion all the time...

A nation so improverised by the ruling class can only bring an average 35% of the total number of eligible voters out during a presidential election to perform their Civic responsibilities...

How exactly is he expecting God to purnish him?

Occupies

or

Occupied...

If Buhari was that popular in the North...why did he have to contest four times before he won?

Please don't tell me he was rigged out on previous occasions...

zomby:


The igbos were ready to vote for Atiku (PDP) regardless of his running mate.

A good percentage of Yorubas were also ready to vote for him

But the north wasn’t going to vote for Atiku/ Obi against Buhari. It is completely impossible. Atiku would have been better off with a strong running mate from Kano or Sokoto.

They indeed were...as confirmed by the massive turnout of voters he (Atiku) received from the SS & SE...

zomby:


2. Atiku miscalculated by picking Obi as his running mate..He should have picked a fresh blood from the north.

Seriously? Would you have voted for a joint northern ticket?

He needs to remain gentle because of the upcoming governorship elections...

ThothHermes:
One bottle of cold Orijin for you.

Thanks for the offer but a bottle of water is just good enough.

The problem of leadership in Nigeria is not only about the people who are leading or the party that is in power, it is about capacity and capability.
We've had postponed elections since 2011, that's eight to twelve years and for all the good reasons...

In about 60 years of our existence as an independent nation, we have been unable to provide health facilities, security, power, education and other necessary infrastructure for growth yet we want to produce a credible election in just 4 years, we should actually be surprised if everything had gone right last Saturday...
