Nice2023:
I live in Kubwa and I can tell for sure that accommodation is pretty expensive in Abuja and it environs. It was recently increased because of the ground rent saga lately.

Some landlords are owing ground to the tune of of 5million naira, and after such payment, they end up increasing everything hence the problem.

It seems I will just remain here in Enugu. It's not like I have a job there or something

Jking20:
Hurry hurry has no gain, let NYSC decide your faith since you're not certain yet.

I can actually work out posting and the rest to be in my favor..

superCleanworks:
You don't move around much so what are you looking for in Abuja? I would have recommended ABJ if you were into marketing and entertainment or construction. Web Dev + introvert? Just stay in 042 unless you just want unwarranted stress.

Thank you bruv!

incandescentena:
Op, After the above bolded, what else do you seek from Nairalanders?!

Get up, pack your baggages and hit the road

I am yet to go for NYSC bruv! I am yet to do everything.

If you were in this position, what would you do?

Millimann:
Enugu is a very cool city. If you are looking to make new contacts maybe for your business, then you can choose Abuja. B

But if want to live your normal life peacefully, I would suggest you choose Enugu.

Thank you bro

I just graduated from the faculty of Law UNN and I am finding it hard deciding whether to relocate to Abuja or just stay in Enugu. The cost of living here in Enugu is apparently cheaper than Abuja.

By the way, I still have law school to go and NYSC (which I will most likely be doing in Abuja this year). I have been doing very well as a web developer before I graduated from school and I am most likely not ending up a lawyer (at least not now). So my job is not affected by my location.

I want to move my things down to Abuja and get a one bedroom there. But the cost is just too high compared to what you get in Enugu. In places like Kubwa, Abuja, it is around 1.1M for something decent.

I know the exposure is also there in Abuja.. But i am somebody you won't see out side for days. I really need your recommendations guys.

Really? This could be right you know. I actually saw a list of the best secondary schools in Nigeria and their school fees here:

Functions of the Local government

1. Control and provision of Markets and motor packs: This is one of the most important functions of the Local government. In rural areas where there is hardly good motor packs or large market for the people, the local government is expected to provide and control markets and motor parks.

2. Collection and disposition of refuse: As it is always said, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness". No society can survive in a dirty environment and that is why the local government has this function. They collect and dispose refuse in the community.

3. Making recommendations: Local government is also given the obligation of making recommendation to state/federal government on issues and problems of rural communities that cannot be solved by the local government.

3. Provision and control of cemeteries and slaughter houses: In cases where the local government does not exist, it is usually difficult to control the way people use cemeteries. However, with local government, rules are given on how the local people use cemeteries and slaughter houses. This brings about development in the nation and makes the local government organized.

4. Regulation and issuing of birth, death and marriage certificates: When someone dies or gives birth in the local community, it is the job of the local government to issue certificates for that. Even after marriage ceremonies the local government gives marriage certificates to the celebrants.

5. They issue and regulate various types of licenses: Since there is no federal or state body that gives licenses at the local level, the local government is given that function. They are responsible for issuing different types of licenses; such as: drivers license, gun ownership licenses etc.

In every examination, there are usually some tips and tricks that can help candidates of the examination. Those who knows the secrets end up smashing the examination with comfortable grade. On the other hand, those who do not know what they need to know, end up failing. That is why i always support the belief that reading is not enough for any examination.

For examinations like the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), it is even more difficult because it is a Computer Based Test (CBT). So if you don’t know some of the useful tips to answer JAMB questions, you will end up failing wofly.

But not to worry, I have written this article to put every JAMB candidate through the basics of what JAMB questions look like and how one can answer them even with the limited time and large number of questions asked in the examination.

5 things you should note about JAMB Questions

1. JAMB questions are computer based: Of course, I have said that before but I think it is still worthwhile to explain what a CBT examination is. Unlike other examinations, CBT questions tend to be more feared because everything is automated and programed. Take for example, the questions asked in CBT examinations are marked by the computer. No one has the power to manipulate your score.

In that same way, if you have a problem with your computer during the examination, it is likely that nobody will be able to solve it, except if it is just a minimal issue.





2. Candidates are given limited time to answer all questions: Another important thing you have to note is that, there is usually limited time to answer all JAMB questions. Candidates are expected not to spend above 45 minutes in a particular question. And as I have already mentioned, the time is also automated. Once it is time to stop the examination, JAMB will automatically log out the user.

3. All the questions in jamb examination are objective: Due to the fact that JAMB UTME examination is CBT, JAMB no longer ask essay questions as they use to do before. Now, every question in the examination is set in an objective format. Even Use of English is done this way so candidates do not have to worry about letter writing and essays in the examination.

4. JAMB questions look simple but complex: Yes! You heard me right. That is nothing but the truth. JAMB questions usually look simple but they are not. Every question in the examination must be given good attention. If you fail to do this, you might end up choosing wrong answers in the examination, believing that you have done the right thing.

5. JAMB repeats questions every year: One of my uncles who work for JAMB in Lagos, secretly told me (in 2017 before my JAMB examination) that; the ultimate secret for passing jamb examination is to study pass questions and there is no doubt about it.

Going through elementary and secondary education, you may not really understand how important it is for you to be in the field of science or art until it is time to decide on which course to study in the university. While doing this, you will realize that there are actually limits to what you can choose to study in your higher education. Students in the field of science have specific courses they can study. Same is the case for students in the field of social Sciences, Art etc. This is the reason why I have decided to share my knowledge on the Best Art courses to study in the university.

Apparently, it is difficult to believe that there have been a time, in the history of Nigeria, when a good president was given the mantle of leadership. Well, that is not exactly what this article seeks to discuss because that would be an illusion.

But even at that, there are some of them that, to a very extent, tried to make sure that country moves forward. These ones were the best president in Nigeria ever.

By Okechukwu Okoye Esq

This post is not intended to counteract the worthy campaign of young lawyers clamouring for a better welfare in Practice. However, I submit that it will be delusional to think that an NBA President will come who will evenly make better the welfare of all young lawyers in Nigeria. In fact, not all senior lawyers have good welfares to start with. Many senior lawyers with over a decade of practice are still languishing in penury and lack. It will be monumental error of preposterous proportions to think that because you are a young lawyer anybody owes you anything. Maybe in future, old and retired lawyers will start asking NBA for retirement packages too.

The truth is that no NBA President owe you that duty of improving your welfare whether as a young or old wig. I don’t know of any such responsibility. Besides, legal practice is a private venture and no NBA president has such enormous powers to drift and veer off into taking decisions on what happens in the different Law Firms. And even if any president overzealously muster such powers and try implementing same, the consequence is that you young lawyers will either be laid off from work and you stop earning the little and you’ll still be unable to open your own firm cause you cannot meet up with the financial requirements your former boss who deposed you couldn’t meet up with.

Not long ago I shared on my WhatsApp status how I reached out to two different lawyers called to Bar last year on two different occasions to help me draft a process. Both of them at the time had nothing serious doing, so time constraint wasn’t the issue. But they defiantly refused because they insisted we must agree on price before their pen can be set in motion because of course I didn’t pay for their Law School fees. And it was convenient for them to leave the process with me. Things I couldn’t do when I was without a base.

As much as I don’t begrudge anyone for the way they choose to build their practice neither can anyone dictate for anyone how to, I know as a fact that many Lawyers who have so much to do today and make many financial returns from practice never started off seeing practice from the prism of enormous financial gains. Many were just consumed with passion for their work and gave it their all. Many accepted even to work pro bono for institutions and individuals just to be busy and to satisfy their passion.

For me, I deem it a great honour then for a senior lawyer to ask me to accompany him to court or draft a process, for my name to appear on a process, for my draft to be commended by my senior. I infact on my own, go to Law firms and ask to work without pay just for the experience. I attended proceedings of national importance in different courts in Abuja and will just sit and watch the proceedings. Somehow I know that passion attracts something, when and how I don’t know but eventually. This does not mean I don’t like money, but then it is not Paramount at this time of building a career.

So yesterday I paid a Courtesy visit to the youngest Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Muyiwa Atoyebi Oyetola SAN. A very meek, gentle and self-effacing acheiver. It is possible that many young lawyers don’t even know this great, illustrious and iconic Learned Silk who should be a motivation and model to every young lawyer. I remember when he was conferred with SAN last year and I attended with a senior Officer even though I don’t know him personally then. The speculations that percolated the space was that he is super connected and that’s why he got the silk. Some said his mother is a retired or sitting Justice of the Court of Appeal. Some said his father is a politician and many others held different opinions and were stating same with impunity. But what is the truth about this young acheiver who took the dazzling silk at 34 years of age and just 11 years of practice?

Oyetola Muyiwa Atoyebi was not born into influence and affluence as speculated by people. In fact, his father was a farmer and the mother a tailor. Through dint of diligence and determination he was able to achieve this phenomenal feat. Oyetola could be one Legal Practitioner who has handled over 300 cases for the Police alone Pro bono. He has also rendered services to other institutions in Nigeria on Pro bono basis. It is on record that when he brought forward cases he has handled and got judgement in his favour for his screening for the conferment of SAN, three cars had to convey the records. When others were looking for what will pay instantly, he went for something that will pay eventually and acheived what others could hardly achieve. As for diligence, he recounted how he sometimes slept in his office for weeks while his house is just about 10 minutes drive away from office. He said his job take preeminence over everything.
I then realized that it was neither his father nor mother nor any NBA president that paved way for him to become the SAN he is today. Diligence, Passion and Desire did.

I had a great time with this great man and we actually forgot to discuss NBA elections. Yes, because it is not part of what made him or what will make me and you as young lawyers.

As you prepare to vote whoever you will be voting for in the coming election, always know as you know your name that your fate in this noble profession is in your hands and not the duty of any NBA President.

And to Dear Senior Lawyers, as much as it is within your capacity, treat junior lawyers right. This too is in the interest of Justice.

The federal government has confirmed that it held a meeting with officials of the West African Examination Council (WAEC) on Monday.

The Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, revealed this while speaking during a press briefing in Abuja on Friday.

According to Nwajiuba, there will be further consultations with four other countries, before new examination dates are announced.
