Are you implying that marine engineers search a lot for jobs?

It's difficult to easily get a job in Nigeria with such courses, especially if you insist on practising what you studied.

SensualMan:
My mech charges me £40 for an hour labour. The job gets done.


In Nigeria u have good heads who know what they are doing but unfortunately they lack the requisite tools, lack shelter, lack presentation and charge between 3k to 5k for 5 hour job done.
There are really good mechanics in Nigeria, the only thing lacking in them is the available tools. It amazes me the risk they take with their lives to fix cars absent tools. Then there are bad mechanics as well

Who should buy tools for them?

Bros, anyone who doesn't have the necessary tools to run a profession he has chosen for himself and dedicated his life to should go home and sleep

Peppermintflav:
Firstly in the world of today, you've got to have a scanner. If your car develops fault you scan it yourself and know what the problem is before going to the mechanic workshop.
Secondly you should have a mechanic for different occasions, like me I have a mechanic that changes my shock absorber brake pads, I have another one if I want to do some serious work on the engine I have another one that changes oil.

This shouldn't be the new normal, nah

Should people also start diagnosing themselves before going to the hospital Let's not start finding excuses for them.

The truth is that all Nigerian artisans have problems with professionalism(work ethics), dedication, sincerity and trustworthiness, and need to earnestly turn a new leaf.

Clinton39:
Well..... I appreciate your comment but I kinda meant the salary and benefits the workers earn. But thanks anyway.....and that's a huge sum of money!

Are you already talking about salaries and benefits when you're not sure of getting a job after graduation?

YoudeyVexme:
Someone who Just did youth service already got a high paying job in nppc, while me that have graduated Since 2010 still struggling to feed from hand to mouth, no properties no thing to call my own. Meanwhile a cousin of mine already own 2 houses this boy I used to dash him 20naira for busicuit early 2008 when I visit my aunty, now he's 22.

Once you asked them for help and they give you once, they won't want to give you again. My heart's boil so hot whenever I see them on wheels driving expensive cars, A boy who doesn't know anything about life is already married with kid on the way. It wasn't like This when I was in my 20s, back then, we had to labour hard...farming, fishing and the rest to make ends meet..

Imagine, I had to go for house hunting last week and we had to wait for the owner of the compound, he arrived a young man expecting me to greet him first. I just called the agent I wasn't interested.. somebody that can't drag age with my youngest brother.

Only backward and unenlightened people will agree with you.

How do you guys just wake up and attribute everything that happens to some stupid supernatural causes in this part of the world

So, a pregnant woman cannot die of Pre-ecclampsia or other pregnancy related illnesses/complications again?

Just tell me how a country with millions of people thinking so backwardly and primitively will ever develop!

petaling:
No

Everyone struggling to relocate to UK. Why can't you people build your country?

Who are you, and where are you from

People all from over the world migrate, whether they've built their own country or not; it's not a Nigerian thing.

Where i live in the Middle East, there are a lot of British and European workers, who left their own developed countries to live and work here.
How about the Indians and the Chinese? You will see them practically in every country in this world.

There are many reasons for migration

I said I fractured, was it ur ankle. Idiot

Illiterate boy, humble your silly self and learn

Sprain and fracture are not the same thing

You couldn't have fractured your ankle and returned after 2 days.

Ankle fracture is a serious orthopaedic emergency that would keep you off work for at least 3months.

Sprain was what you had, mumu.

She should follow her brother's advice, unless she wants to remain in Nigeria and keep begging for urgent 2k

Why would anyone study Biochemistry in Nigeria?

People should start being mindful of what they go to the Universities to study in Nigeria

It's no longer enough being a graduate; what one studies/studied now matters a lot.

True story

How could you have FRACTURED your ankle and returned to school after only 2days

Una just de speak rubbish English, even as teachers!

My dear, you SPRAINED your ankle. Simple!

dangoteinlaw:

What's wrong with those professions?

I believe you're just talking out of ignorance

Even as a medical professional, i don't look down on them.

When you have any project, you'll understand how much those guys make

I sent 500k to a welder 2days ago just to make a small gate for me. Do you know how much gain he'll make from it just in less than 2/3wks, when most graduates are making less 50k in one full month?

My only problem is the lack of honesty, sincerity and sense of responsibility amongst members of those profession/artisans.

As long as i'm concerned, every muslim is a real or potential terrorist, and i have no apology for anyone about saying the fact.

It's only a matter of time before each of them manifests his inherent terroristic tendency.

The problem is from the religion; it started off as a terror group spread via violence, and will always remain as such.

Lucasmuyiwaa:
What happened was that my Dad collected a brand new iPhone I bought from me February last year all because some uncivilized people like him keeps telling him the phone I use is very expensive and said it’s used by yahoo boys and which my Dad hate the word YAHOO.

Though , I felt very sad wondering why he would collect a phone from a 27 years old Son.

I pleaded to him severally to please give me back the phone and I also sent some of his friends which they value each other to him to please help me beg him to return the phone but he keeps telling them he’s not gonna give me and instead get me a small phone that doesn’t browse so as to stop having internet access.

After many Months of using a small Android phone which is very uncomfortable for me and hoping I will gather some money and get a better phone for myself anytime soon.

I waited for some months but couldn’t afford a better phone cuz I don’t want to buy a very low budget phone since I’m addicted to smooth browsing on my IPhone.

Then I tried to find solution for myself by going to find the iPhone he seized in his room even though I don’t enter his room anyhow.

God so good i got into his room when everyone wasn’t aware and I found the phone where he kept it and took it.

I started having conscience on it and asking myself if I’ve messed up.

I came to Nairaland to ask what I should do maybe to return the phone or keep it with me.

I found out some people blamed me for invading his room and getting m my stuff.

Some people told me to return it and never do that again.

when I was going to return the phone I found out that the whole house are back and it’s not possible to go there that time.

I don’t know what to do because it was a luck that nobody was at home that day.

I reasoned to my self maybe I should go and deliver the phone to him myself fearing if he found out the phone is no more there the issue will escalate and will be too late.

The next morning I took the phone to him and told him I find it using a device on the phone with another phone to track it.

He was very annoyed and said what I did was bad with a very cool voice and gave me the phone back himself.

After few hours he called me and said he put some Saudi Money (Riyadh) in the carton he hide my phone and he couldn’t find the money there and asked me if I took it.

I sensed he was trying to tell me that in order to know what I did was bad.

I told him I didn’t take any money there and I honestly didn’t see any money there.

He let me leave and said he will try to find it very well later.

Then just today he called my married elder sister to come to our house and wanted to have a meeting with us cuz we are just two from our late mother.

From his speech he said he can’t be seeing me not working since I’m a graduate and I should find something doing.

He knew I was into exportation of Petrol to Cotonou before the work stopped due to border close down and too much customs officials on the road.

So he started insulting me I’m just being idle and don’t want to work because I’m getting money from yahoo because he returned my phone to me to have internet access.

I accepted all the insults he did to me and didn’t argue with him not until he said if I’m a good boy I won’t go into his room to take my phone and even take his money he kept there the other day.

I then knew he meant that word that I took his money again and which I didn’t even take or see.

Then he began raining insults on me and begin to lay emphasis on the money that I took my phone and his money.

At this point I was very mad and couldn’t hold myself from keeping silence and then I had to break it.

I told him I can take everything he do to me but accusing me wrongfully I will never take that with a mini voice and suddenly wanted to hit me which I run from him to escape.

On running through the steps, he suddenly grab the big stool in the sitting room and dropped it on my head which nearly hit me . (If that stool hit me I don’t know what will happen to me )

But I managed to escape and he started raining curses on me and insulting my late mother for giving him a son like me.

My sister was there too and all she kept saying was I’m very rude to disclaim the accusations and defending myself and she also start insulting me that how dare should I talk when he’s talking.

After few insults he gave me so he came downstairs and started insulting me again while I stand not too far from him.

He quickly picked up a very big stone and a big plank on the floor threw at me which if these two objects meet me I will still be bleeding by now.

He told me with anger that I’m a bastard and cursed me saying it will not better for me and we can never sleep together in the house today and he left and went out.

So my stepmother returned and I narrated everything to her and made her known I’m leaving the house to avoid unnecessary violence again because I’ve been planning to leave the house due to everyday arguments and his nags.

The stepmother told me not to leave the house and rather he will talk to him and calm him down and everything will be fine.

I already made my mind to leave the house and stay at the hotel for some days because my friend which I could go and stay with has traveled last week and said he will be back today.

I got to the hotel and booked the room and having some rests then I saw my stepmother call and she said I should come home and we need to talk.

I sensed maybe she was trying to set me up and I told her I’m at where I’m going to sleep tonight because I just don’t want to come home today.

She said I shouldn’t even think that way and promised me nothing is going to happen.

I believed her because she knows I respected her and I knows she likes me.

Then she told me to come home and sleep and assure me no violence will happen as she just need to talk to me privately which I don’t have idea what else she want to tell me .

Now should I go home or just sleep at the hotel and probably not going to go to that house again soon if I sleep at the hotel today ?

That's one of the reasons the West keep forcing Nigerians to write IELTS

Nigerians, irrespective of their educational levels, speak one form of rubbish English or the other.

Dorwadora:
I don't understand the reason behind it and I'm curious. Google is not giving me a coherent answer.


My late grandfather's friend passed away today, being a Muslim, it's a must that he must be buried today. My grandma called me to come to our hometown ( My present location to my hometown is just 1 hour) to say goodbye to Baba (May God rest his soul).

I got there, I wanted to enter but they said I should knock before entering incase Baba is dressing up or eating . I knocked once but they said I must knock thrice . I know all those eating and dressing up story is sakamanje.

I would have asked someone there but the atmosphere was melanchoIic and I was in a rush to see my grandma and now I'm on my way back to Ado.What's the real reason for knocking?

A dead body can't feel or see. It dead ... The body is useless or else it want to be used as compost.

It's still one of those things Africans do out of sheer ignorance.

It's being done by the same people who sheepishly believe they can make mysterious money from fellow human blood and body parts.

It came from the same archaic people who believe bald men have gold and diamond in their skulls

Now, those of us who work in the hospitals, do we engage in such things when when entering rooms where deceased patients are kept?

Of course, the answer is a capital NO!

Have we died?
The answer, again, is a capital NO!

Good morning everyone.
My Dad has being suffering from prostate for some time now and it's draining me financially and he isn't any better, rather he keeps deteriorating.

The consultant adviced he goes for a surgery which I'd prefer,because right now when ever he's almost due for a catheter change he behaves like psychiatric patient, looking at him during this period you can't help but shed tears, a once very agile and no nonsense man being reduced to such pitiable state. so in a bid to raise the money I want to sell off one of my landed properties at Enugu .

It's a plot of land at Amorji Nike along caritas university. Please I need a buyer as soon as possible and also there's a commission for who ever brings a buyer aswell.

Price 1.950m *very negotiable*

N:B Posted it hear for better audience
Mods please kindly assist me in getting a wider attention .

Is this plot along the road? Send your WhatsApp number, so i can request for a picture of the plot

So, stop this inherited foolish mindset.

I'm not hustling to be big, bro. I'm hustling to be able to afford my needs without having to affect others.

I just love this, and i wish every young Nigerian would begin to reason like this!

With that, crime in Nigeria and by Nigerians would drastically reduce to an insignificant level.

I've an ongoing project somewhere in Imo state, and almost all the people who have worked there will never be called again by me for any job, neither will i recommend any of them to any friend or relative.

Integrity/honesty is one luxury an average Nigerian can't afford.

LocalStandard1:
Someone remind me what we're celebrating these guys for again pls.

They're celebrating people who were sacked from their jobs on account of improper behaviour at work place and negligence of duty

That's Nigeria and Nigerians for you.

These guys don't look like they're cut out for education.

I hope they'll not end up wasting their time over there

questionanswer:
Hi everyone,

My father happened to be the first son of my grandfather who automatically inherit his lands and other properties.

My father just died and since I'm the first son of my father. Which means I'm automatically inherit and in charge of those inheritance.

Now my uncles are all ganging up against me. These guys not allowing me to do the burial of my father who passed away for a while now.

They keep giving different excuses on why the burial will not hold.

They gang up and cancel the burial i fixed previously and I lost everything. All what I spent for the burial arrangements was wasted.

I really want to charge them for this.

They are using the influence that if they are not in support the burial will not hold.

These uncles has really fustrate me and I keep spending money and wasting my precious time traveling back to the village for series of meetings just to please them.

Yet they're not approving my burying my father. Not like they are giving me any money for the burial. I'm the one handling it yet they no gree.

They said i cannot inherit the grandfather and my father's properties..so I cannot do my father burial. And these are for their own selfish motives.

The Kingsman and the king supports me and has cautious the uncles to desease from such. But yet they still persist.

I have tried to make peace and peace with them as family concern but yet they are all still ganging up. And wow to fustrate me.

Now my patience has ruined out. I'm in mood for actions now.

I want to take matter higher than the community level with them now.

I'm thinking taking them to court now. But I don't know the process.

I'm seeking for the right direction i can take to solve such issue.

Thank you so much �

Maybe, you no too get money, bros.

If you have money, you don't need anyone's permission to bury your own father.
Fill the entire street with police, civil defence, army, miscreants, agberos, cultists, UGM, etc on that fateful day.
You'll see that those so-called ''supper power'' uncles won't step out of their rooms that day.

I don't think anyone can stop me from burying my father, unless it's the government.

Every discussion about land or any other property whosoever must be from at least 6 months after the burial.
And this is an order, and not negotiable! The dead man must be respected.

[quote author=MadamVanessa post=111887984]


Mother in-law? I think I have heard it all.


What on earth will make a mother conceived such an evil thought against the son's wife and she still go ahead to carryout the evil plan.

So because the son married a woman probably the idiotic useless mother didn't like,so she think the best way to get rid of her is to poison her.

The only way Balogun can get justice is for the evil idiotic useless mother inlaw to drink poison and die[/quote.


Before you start kicking and cursing like one the illiterate Nigerians you are, take your time to read through the news carefully to see if there's any conclusive report on the alleged poisoning.

One of the problems Nigeria has is people don't read and when they try reading, they find it difficult to understand.

As long as any sane and educated person is concerned, no conclusion can be drawn from the above write-up by attention-seeking bloggers.

Stupid Nigerian mentality. Everything is about money and material acquisitions.

This mentality is the reason there's crime everywhere in Nigeria and everywhere an average Nigerian goes.
