But there are lots of youths from this same Benin republic and Togo looking for menial jobs here.

APC as a party does not seem to have any direction now.

When I graduated my father advised me to go look for a government parastatal Job, his reason is that pension is guaranteed. I wanted a job where my take home can give me a comfortable life, I opted for a bank job.

The advantage of pension which the civil service boast of before is no longer there, the Pension reform of 2004 make pension available to everybody, infact the private sector workers have a better advantage where pension is concern because their contribution is bigger and they remit your contribution promptly, most government offices do not remit pension fund deductions, some deduct and only remit the employee contribution and do not remit the employer contribution(and that is higher), you see, the pension advantage has shifted from the public sector to the private sector.

Working in the government parastatal, I can tell you that if you are able to buy a tokunbo car within the next 10 years, then you must have stolen the money, go to government secretariat, most of them who park cars there can't afford to buy it with their earnings, they stole the money from illegal deals, bribery, ghost workers on payroll and all sort of things.

In the multinational, you can live a comfortable life without touching anybody's money, you can buy your car with your money or take a loan and pay back with your earnings.

My brother, me, I will not think twice about this matter, I cannot choose a government job over multinational at the entry level, at top level, yes.

Chai, you guys should realise that it is stupid and close minded to argue God's existence using a book filled with too many inconsistencies, not to mention the fact that there are hundreds of religions.

Nobody need to argue God's existence and I don't need to argue his existence. He is there, if you want to find him you will find him for yourself.
if you have decided he does not exist, good for you.

Who is "the one who created them" and do you have a prove that "the one" actually created them?

God is the one who created them and me and you.

"...For, behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth..." Isaiah 65:17

A planet that can sustain life that was not there before is being discovered, this should make you ask questions about what the word of God has said before.

ggirl4real:
Beautiful

This is why I love science

It keeps evolving with new discoveries, providing solutions to human problems unlike religion which is stagnated.

You don't know anything. Science is only discovering what has been put there by the one who created them.

Generalpatton:
Objectively,motm in Nigeria vs uganda match should have been gael bigirimana

Hahaha
Please where did you watch that Nigeria vs Uganda match, In this tournament or in the dream? Lol

Nadal will be hard to beat on clay, and Osaka has won two grand slams in a row ( both on hard court though ).

I will love Serena to add another grand slam but can't put my money on her.

This information has not told us half of the requirements for NDA admission.
Why must I know a general before getting admission into NDA?

Check your records again. The crane of Uganda have never won the nations cup.
They were runner up in 1978, not winners. They lost to Ghana by 2:0

If you put sentiment aside, you will actually see that this guy made a lot of sense.

Let's leave the personality of Dino alone and take a look at what he said. He made a lot of sense.
what the country need is the right leadership and our present crop of politicians are not providing it.

Hi Josh,

You should know by now the reason for the commissioning of uncompleted projects by Ambode is just so Sanwo olu does not take the glory tomorrow and probably to pave way for an appointment for Ambo.

My brother, it's Just politics!!!!

But as it stand now it is sanwo olu's government that will complete the project, and you don't expect them to take any of the credit ?

We imported 13.3tn worth of goods in 2018 while our GDP was about 146tn n u are here telling me dat we consumed about 16tn worth of goods...Try n use ur head at least sometimes

Consumption is just one of about 5 components of the Gdp. I won't go into how Gdp is calculated.
What I am telling you is that more than 70 % of the things you do with your wages are attached to USD.
Did you not know that after the Naira was devalued in 2015, prices of goods responded to it ?
Can you remember that a bag of rice was 7k to 8 k in 2015 before devaluation, it is now about 18k.
Look at the price of cement that we produce here, it was about 1.5k in 2015 and now it about N2.5k. This is because the Naira lost value against the USD and other currencies.

Newboss:
Stop chasing Dollar rates. Focus on your internal economy. The more you chase Dollar rate, the farther it will run from you.

Use your head

You can stop chasing dollar rates if you are producing all you consume here, but we produce close to nothing. Even some food are imported.

youghs:
is it dollar dat we are spending...dat estimate is only useful if u want to engage in foreign trade

My friend, more than 70 % of our commodities are imported, your phone, electronics, even some food items. The devaluation in value of the Naira over the last couple of years have affected the prices of these commodities.

It is important to know how much your wages are worth in USD.

Everyone is saying we have an easy group because of debutants ; Madagascar and Burundi .
Those teams are not as easy as you think. The teams they eliminated to qualify are not debutants. So Nigeria should be wary of those new comers.

freethinker01:
Wake up bro, the world is leaving u behind. Wake the fvck up bro

You have to wake up bro. You going closer to your end and you are not doing anything about it.
The world is moving fast to hell and I am not going with it.

You are a spiritually dead man

freethinker01:
where? Or are u referring to the Bible?

Not just the Bible, the Bible is a guide, but you can experience God in your life personally just as they did in the Bible. Infact the manifestation of God's presence now far exceed what is in the Bible.

Martinez39:
Nonsense. The skeptical child was rational to not believe in a life after delivery that he had seen no evidence for. Such skeptic would only believe in life after delivery if he sees evidence for it (when he is delivered alive and can observe our physical world) Problem would occur if, upon delivery and observing our world, he continues to deny life after delivery.

This is similar to atheists. We lack belief in your creator and religious claims because there are no evidences to support them and they have no basis in reality. We will only believe in your god and religious claims if there are evidences to support them and when we see that they have a sound basis in reality. Until then, all you are saying is Super Story. Problem would occur when we see evidences for your god and religious claims(eg. afterlife) and we continue to deny them.

To make it worse, the analogy you gave is inappropriate. The concept of life after delivery to the baby is way more plausible that the idea of your god and religious claims(eg. afterlife). Why? Because a close and sound analysis of the bible, quran and other holy books show, without a doubt, that they are ridiculous garbages and falsehoods. They can't be true.

How shameless and stupid of you to try to suggest that because people believe in certain things without evidence then it's okay to believe anything, however ridiculous, without evidence. A god that can't prove himself is not entitled to anyone believing in him. People have no reason to believe in an afterlife or a god because there are no evidences for then. You have to stop reasoning like this, you are not getting any younger. Is this how you want to waste your life building it around falsehoods? Wake up jare.

Mr Man, you are completely ignorant of spiritual things. So pathetic.

God has proven himself over and over and over.

But you have the right to choose what you want to believe in. You have the right to reject life and choose death.

Fading away like the stars in the morning. That is one of my favorite songs . I can see you .

Suicide does not establish your innocence.
Why not stay alive and prove that you are innocent ?

beatmonster:
The salvation I need now is continuous depositions of hard currency (dollars) in my bank account. If you think I am joking ask your GO (pastor) why they like tithe so much

Life is not coming to an end, it is getting started !

But money ends when you die. Your money does not take you beyond your grave. Your soul need salvation. And you can only get salvation through Jesus Christ.
A lot of atheists die daily and enter eternity unprepared and doomed for hell.
Don't be among them. You can be saved.

Joebryan:
Like seriously?

You actually don't know that you need salvation for your soul ?
When your spirit leave this your body, it is not the end, it is actually the beginning of your journey into eternity.
Without salvation you are doomed in eternity.

And you can only get salvation through Jesus.

donstan18

Because religion is man made and not of any God/gods. They will keep on making different denominations until it reaches over 100,000 denominations

What are you doing about your salvation ?
Can't you see that your life is gradually coming to an end?
Don't wait until it's too late.

Ngige sure is not truthful to himself.

No body has told us what the next level hold for us. You are all shouting next level, what is the next level expected to bring?

Are we going to have power generation improved up to 20k mw ?

Will our per capital income go to 10k dollars?

I will to know what is the next level agenda.

What is the next agenda ?
I have been hearing of next level, what exactly are we expecting from the next level ?

Alcohol is associated more with liver diseases. More deadly that kidney diseases.
