Well i hail sha.

ayomifull:
Thank you very much Mr immigration law UN breaker and congratulations for being a very holy, sinless man who has to throw the first stone.


Oh really?

Its not too late you can become one now and ask Irish Govt infact all European and Amercan govt to deport all foreigners, those that came in with visiting visa and married for paper, those who came in with 6 months visa years ago etc righteous man!, and don't forget to go and kill Nigeria Govt who awarded electricity contract to unregistered foreign companies, paid 100% upfront and did no job, good man and remeber to advise that all of them should be deported.


No thanks but she is not weeping she is only in a situation anyone can find him/herself, i know no thread ends without some sort of abuse.

Awe,if you are furtunate in life don't call your padis lazy bones, and come to think of it how many Europeans, Americans cme to Nigeria to do this? Does that not mean something? Please tell those defrauders in Nigeria who calls themselves govt to make their country comfortable for all and give equal or near equal opportunity to all.

One of those 'defrauders' is Rotimi Adebari who was the first foreigner to be made a mayor of a county in Ireland, what did Nigerians do? Crying hell that he was an assylum seeker blablablablablablablabla. Thank God for the number of 'defrauders' from Nigeria today who are holding great postitions in Ireland in various fields including me who got a good job in ISP company without having to know anyone or bribing anyone abd despite being a 'defrauder' yesterday, i'm sure your like would not even employ me.

I rest my case, thank you all for your wonderful contributions, i thinks i have one or 2 words for her from your contributions so this thread can rest peacefully now, as i will not visti it again. THANKS TO YOU ALL.

Bad belle,watin Rotimi do you ?Good job in ISP company ? Bollocks

What a brilliant contributions from Naija ladies.I am indeed proud of some of you.But there is  a buttom line to this issue-"Bandwagon attitude" of Nigerians in Ireland.
Its a long story,but statistics shows Nigeria have the highest non EU immigrants in Ireland,the bulk of them got the residency rights from the so called  parents of Irish citizens.In the wake of the  "pardon" they signed their rights away to remain in the state.
This have brand Naija ladies there with the single motherhood and the associated state benefits.
My 2 cent to the poster are-
1.Go back to Naija and get a life and enjoy your virtues as a woman.
OR
2.According to the EU directives 2004/38/EC your child can exercise his/her treaty rights and migrate to any other EU member state,this will allow the parents a residence rights as a member of the family.On a condition that you must WORK and stop the LAZY life.

zorro:
Was just wondering if anyone could help me understand what i would need to start a small radio station

The poster asked a very simple question.

linuxuser:
zorro,

The cost of the license is the most daunting provided that even if you can raise the money for the license, the "powers that be" will be willing to give you the license. To start with, I will suggest that you start with an internet radio which is less expensive. You can actually start with less than 500,000.00 Naira. Starting with internet radio, you can learn the trade even before you get a license. If you need some help, I may be able to help you.

Linuxuser,
You gave a very professional and openminded advise.

Seun:
What are the things you already know?

As far as I know, you can't start a radio station unless you really understand the business, have access to a lot of capital, and have friends in high places so you can get a broadcast license - which will cost a lot of money.

This is a typical Nigerian way(judgemental and bais) of pushing open minded people to the background.

coolier:
Dear Linuxuser,

It's that easy for people to dupe you if you don't know exactly what you're doing - at least the basic rudiments. Like one needs a licence first and foremost - assuming that is coming from the government, one only pays the bribes and licence fees to get that done.

But in a situation where a contractor, simply because you're not versed in what you're doing says to you that you need a 'trans', a 'form', and a 'mer' to broadcast. You end up paying triple for one item.

What am saying is it would have been much easier if one has been in the broadcast business, that way you know exactly where you're going and how to quickly get there.

If the poster was already in the broadcasting business he won;t ask and post the thread.He asked the question to avoid "dupe".
We should learn how to approach issues especially if one is trying to seek knowledge to establish himself in his area of interest either as a hobby or a career.

I just dey laugh here

The legal quagmire will go on to the supreme court.The tribunal should have annul the election since about 1/4 of the total vote cast was cancelled.
The victory of the AC will not be celebrated for too long,considering the facts that the House of Assembly is dominated by the PDP and can truncate the governance of the state.
Personally,Osunbor is on the part of moving the state to next level as against the palace governance of the state by the last governor Igbinedion.
But the analysis of the political footprint of the state can only be sufficiently discussed based on the success of past administrators like Ogbemudia,Prof Alli(late),Chief Oyegun.The dispensation of Prof Alli in the education sector is yet to be contested by any post independence governor.
The problem of Edo state is not actually who will be the next Governor but is on will the Anenih's allow a modern edo state?

girl in calabar looking for a guy in calabar,portharcourt or akwa ibom must be matured enough.please no child's play dinkyxta@yahoo.com or 07032696149 no mid night call please

So sad that you have to down grade the dignity of every woman in such a nude form in your profile.
Freedom of speech and expression doesn;t mean madness.You need to be more matured especially in public places.

Now all man don shock in.Una think say na only Oshodi,Yaba,ojuelegba na  dey 4 naija.
Na only Germany u wo fit see place when be like Abuja 4 Europe.

Sly,
I hail ooooooo.

@Enokoko,

I sent you an email,please reply if you have got the time yo do so.
Thx

Viperman,

Thanks for the explanation because the greedy clearing agents will not let you know of a legit way around the Cotonou route.(except the fire brigade route)
Can you through more light on the tarrif ranges to be paid to the seme/naija clearing borders.Are Right Hand Drive(RHD) allowed ?
Thanks.

@Exponent,

Wise AA are trying to reconcile with their heritage by engaging on group tours to Africa-Nigeria,Ghana,South Africa.You are there venting your frustrations on Nigeria.
You are actually a lost property,try and find your root before you lose your mind and spend the rest of your life in jail.
I am happy you have been able to prove yourself to be a second class America citizen.You will soon find yourself in Africa just like your brother

You will learn your lesson in a hard way.

I'm not starting any wars tpia
and no I'm not an idol worshipper
neither would I knowingly eat food sacrificed to idols
by their admission,some evil spirit kills their adulterous women.
It's not a place I'll advice anyone I love to marry from.
I never knew this until now.

If I knew any Igbo community that has mortgaged it's citizens to evil spirits by a local Govt ordinance not individual choices
I wouldn't marry there either.

The Bible said "Thou shall not commit adultery" and also "the wages of sin is death",logically he/she that commit adultery will die because adultery is a sin.

@Poster,
If you are actually serious it would have been better to ask your BF,or your mother instead of coming to nairaland as your oracle of truth.

viperman:
Dude, will you just keep quiet if you don't know what obtains?? Why do some of you just accuse anybody that comes on this site of fraud?

Yes, i agree to the fact that there are a lot of fraudsters on this site e.g the fools that called me telling me about some oil company pipeline washing chemicals; But that doesn't mean there aren't honest dealers on this Site/auto section.
As for the aspersions you casted on enokoko above; I believe you ought to apologize to him as they are not only wrong, but totally uncalled for.
As we speak i have two cars(one 1993 and a 1996 camry) that were brought in from cotonou for me on saturday. So Kindly retrace your steps and tune your alarm bell properly in lieu of next time.


cheers.

Yes,there are different sides to a coin.Although i am not supporting the accusation,it will nice to support the good information of the poster by given more information on how your cars came into Naija.

erico2k2:
Hi guys, I live in the UK,I managed to send my Dad a Merc 300E, the price of shipping at the time in 2006 was £500 at this point, II'mshipping a VW passat to nNigeriaand its costing me £550 as at May 2008, these are acactualigures and also both cars are Right Hand cars, as for you guys who said there are no markets for RHD cars in Nigeria, big lie, trust the Nigerian Mechanics, the managed to figure out how to convert RHD to LHD perfectly even in Auto cars you wont know the didifference all you got to do is buy the dashboard and the steering rack, I have managed to expand to 5 cars a time now, if there anybody in EU or America who has Dashboard to sell, fell very free to mail me,would be very hahappyo hear from you guys in Germany and USA, LHD dash only please, Email is blazefactory2000@hotmail.com
one love guys.

The shipping price is usually between 500-600 all depends on your agent.
Modifying a RHD to LHD is not good for business except for personal use.
You did not specify the clearing cost in Naija,i am sure the car is less than 8 years old(because of the restrictions).

big father:
My brother,please look unto God for a better spouse !

Agreed,but no man should take GOD place in other people;s life.

Africans are the problems of Africa.The value of Africa is been demised by the western imperialism under the pretence of a civilising mission.
Carefully enough,their inhuman acts and behaviours are never recorded in the history books and kids are not thought the right things that led to this ignorance.
The media owned by the the rich westerners are helping their government to paint Africa black.
I am not a history student but recent trends,pushed me to some discoveries:
-The British falsified the first census record in Nigeria.
-Afghanistan have never know peace because of her refusal to accept colonisation of their heritage.
-Pakistan/India trouble over Kashmir caused by the British ,
-Where are the red Indians(the America red Indians
-The Aboriginals of Australia are now the second class citizen in their own land

The list goes on.We should try and fight corruption and starve the west from developing their nations with the loots.

LABZ,

This is an interesting issue and bring us back to culture.Usually we go through the family system when courting a woman.But because we have been imperialised by our so called religion.You went to your pastor,who gave both of you a "go ahead nod".If he was actually a Prophet as u said he is,God would have given him the wisdom to advised you to go an pray over it and come back.
Reading through your post,i must say grow up and learn to decide for yourself.
My 2 cent is,your girl only confessed because your are not as dirty as she is.You might give her a second chance,but no rush to the alter.

WebJunior:
I have noticed that imported goods are extremely expensive in Nigeria? below is one of the basic analysis that triggers this question.

A 2000/2001 HONDA ACCORD AKA (babyboy) motor car in Nigeria is around 1.5 million naira,  and that's even cheap.

This is just one example out of many, similar thing applies to computer importation and other valuable products that Nigeria as a whole could benefit from.

[color=#ff0000]First my exchange rate convertion is xe.com, so my calculation is based on the exchange rate at the time of my posting![/color]

Now in the UK this car only worth about £975. So let's follow the illustration below;

Car Purchased in UK               = £975.00  about (230,000 Naira)
Exportation  Cost                   = £250.00  about (  59,000 Naira)
Clearance Cost in Nigeria       = £852.00  about (200,000 Naira)
Profit                                      =

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL                                      = £2,077  about (489,000 Naira)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So back to the alarming figure 1,500,000 Naira - 489,000 Naira =1, 011, 000 Naira[color=#990000][/color]

(1) So what happens to the 1, 0011, 000 Naira excess?
(2) Are there other hidden charges we do not know about or is this the profit car dealers make generally in Nigeria?
(3) If the excess here is the profit how many common fellow citizen have the chance of owning a car?

May be my analysis is wrong, someone please put me right!

Your analysis doesn;t represent the actual situation.I wonder where you got that information.
Firstly,UK cars are right hand drive cars and Nigeria have not got a market for them.
Secondly,you can;t get that car for such a price.
TFinally,no shipping company/agent will ship a car to Nigeria for £250.

nalijah07:
@ Vicjustice - I am an African American woman, and did not mean to offend you. I just wanted to see pictures, other than what my boyfriend (who is Nigerian) has shown me.

@ Tegese - I will be visiting Nigeria next year - I guess I am a little anxious.

There is no offence to your request.The funny thing is that when people want to show you pictures of Nigeria,mostly they will not show you ''the good and the bad'' they will concentrate on the bad.Shame to say that,but is the blatant truth.
You should be anxious to be part of the Nigeria history,what ever happen in Nigeria do happen everywhere in the world.We are afraid of life in the UK especially with the reported level of crimes in the street of the UK.Similar story is still coming out of the USA yet people still crave to come and live here(UK & USA).
You are invited to visit Nigeria,forget all that people say to give Nigeria such a bad name,Nigeria as a developing country is not as bad as people paint her to be.Especially the closed minded people without the right education to distinguished between a developed and a developing nation and their problems(poverty,corruption,under development etc).

Ndipe:
To all business inclined folks on the board. Would any of you have any idea on the amount of money needed to set up a gas station in Nigeria?

Thanks.

It depend on a lot of variables-
Location-Urban or semi urban area,high or low traffic area.
Land-The cost of land depend on the location
under ground tanks,pumps,Canopy,Office building and a host of things that you will need for a standard station.
I am work on this line of business right now.

londoner:
I doubt the majority of Nigerians are employed by the government. It is terrible the way the government delays pay to some of its employees salary and pension. Even those who are comfortable tend to try and find ways to collect bribe. One thing I will say I was pleasantly surprised with in Abuja, is that the policemen did not collect bribe from what I witnessed, but performed their duties as they should. I was happy about that I must say.

You are really a true son of the Land.
Save your word,therewas a recent telecast(BEN TV UK) of one of the Local government chairman from Ogun Sate.He said,people should come back and do business with them.He also advised that those coming should come with their British civic attitude to public service.
The nation at this time need people that have stuff to offer.

NV ME:
@Londoner
Its true alot of nigerians have lackadaisical attitude towards work, I am not abettin that either but the fact that people dnt get their pay/salaries as @ the stipulated time will make anybody to be lazy @ work and of which the pay package is even tooo small
The Vast mojority in nigeria work under the government because there is no other alternative.
(E.g POLICE) How can someone be paid 10,000 nairas/month when he has family and children to take care of. He has to feed,pay rent,transport to work,pay children's school fees and other miscellaneous expenses.
This we all know will definately create room for corruption/bribery, thats the reason why everybody in Nigeria wants to work in a bank

There is no need for finger pointing or apportioning blames.Even if the the NPL are paid a minimum of 10k a month is not a guarantee of bribery free system.After all,the governor,ministers etc have enough pay packet yet they are not free from corruption.
We all need a change in our individual mind set.Refuse bribe when given and don;t give bribe.
Personally,i forbid to take or give bribes.

jookco:
I'm living in a country very close to Nigeria, I don't believe life in Nigeria is that bad as you guys thing, I have been in the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark, I still get it hard to settle there, thus I have to come back to Benin Republic instead, does it mean that my dream of living permanently in Benin republic is that this poor country has anything than the Giant of Africa, I think Nigeria and the rest of Africa is getting better, and I see no reason why one should settle in a country where ones right is being denied by the inhabitants and the authorities.

People are making it big here and life in Africa is the sweetest

You have said it all.

pahtahkee:
Return and do what exactly?

Hahahahaha, u no get watin Naija want.Sorry no worry yourself about return back to Naija.
Ok,u dey 4 Holland,well your NT2 certificate is not what Naija need.
You are not qualified to return.QED

tRoOE:
Just because we decided not to return to Nigeria doesn't mean we are lost

Tell me something, what does a country like Nigeria got to offer us, a job isn’t guarantee only with people with connection, our country isn’t safe, the educational system is bad, nor does the degree worth anything abroad.

Just because we don't live in Nigeria or decided not to return doesn't mean we are lost or have forgotten the culture, like my parents says “Never forget the child of whom you are nor where you come from”

Who cares if Nigeria is creating a refugee camp , abi wetin concern me

You wo care later.If yankee stone you back to Naija,we wo see watin u wo do.
You dey wait make Naija offer u something?,watin you don offer Naija.No for forget say na the same America u dey with CHIKEZIE EZE.
Think watin u wo fit do for your country.

MC Usman,

Watin u dey do 4 Liberia.Make you no go cause war there again,them just dey recover from the last Civil war there.
Madam presido no wo take am easy with you.Well except say na sosorobia scent na im u dey sell there sha no wahala.

tRoOE:
Return to which home Nigeria abi which one

Anyway i grew up and spent most of my childhood up here, don't think i can survive in Naija.

I don't mind visiting, but living there hell fucking no will rather live some place else.

At least i don't mind coming from time to time to visit, but my sisters and brother doesn't even remember what Nigeria looks like not to talk about moving

Naija isn't develop 4 me enough 4 me to live there

Alot of generations will be lost in the desert(singing the Lords song in a strange land).Tell your sis & Bros that when the nemesis of the "new world order" surface,Nigeria will be happy to create a refugee camp for them in lagos/Ibadan express road.
I am sure you heard the news of an American deported to Nigeria.They also sending some to Liberia.
Nonsense,even the Normads with all their walkabout history still know their home land.

Ogb5,

Nigeria is not a failed state,rather Nigerians failed the nation.
Iam sureyou are in netherland,If not the Grondwet (Article 1) Pim Fortyn would have long drop you in lagos before his death.Anyway watch out for Geert Wilder.
You can;t sit in another man;s land and wants to be called the Prince of Soweto only to call your country a failed country.
Don;t compare Oman to Nigeria because a Nigerian will want to trucate the nation to their own selfish end.
Wake up and be a patriotic Nigerian.You are never a full DUTCH even with their passport.You will ever remain a Nigerian.
God bless you.

I be think say by now we wo dey see beyond our nose.Watin be very true there.
Naija babes dey go for effects,first impression,watin u get etc.
Babe ready to enter Hummer when just stop for am along the road,than to following her old school mate when get pure water.
Bongo babes no won hear say you talk the truth.I beg make una forget jist,the crave for wealth/money will never end in Naija.All those babes when dey 4 Allen avenue,Terris in Surelere and other hotspots u mean say them no get boy friend.A beg leave matter for maranathan.

Action=Reaction.
The poster should go see things for herself in naija.No body dey pursue am for naija.If she see pictures of Yaba or Oshodi now she wo begin speak all the grammar when she learn for lexis and structure txt book.
Make u na dey try go home to dey avoid this kind of question and answer.

Now i can see why WAEC board is have a yearly TLC.
The poster question bi "I heard that the yorubas are the most educated tribe in Nigeria. Is that true?"
Which answer did he get ? OP(out of point) answers.
Imagine if some of you be president of naija and dey ask u simple question like this,na so una wo begin mis yan.
Thank God i do write letter to Nigeria Senate,make them try make law to make WAEC certificate dey expire after 5 years.I wo try lobby well well,if them grant am.Most of u when say him/her be university graduate,you go write resit for WAEC.If u yan as u dey yan 4 here,them withdraw your certificates.
Make everybody ready for revision.

Na Yoruba get the highest number of Professors for Naija(Ondo state to be precise)
