@concrete


Well done.

thanks

i'm very excited

na wa o! i didn't mean any harm by using that word. u guys are harsh LOL i've never denied my nigerian heritage or tried to act superior to anyone at all. i was just going by wat some of my relatives here and back home told me (that technically, if i wanted to work in nigeria, i could do so under that status).

anyway, as i said, i was born in uk and raised in canada. i have dual citizenship (uk/canada). my dad is uk born and had dual citizenship (uk/nigeria) and my mom was born in nigeria but also has dual citizenship (canada/nigeria). if that clears it up for those of you debating the terminology used

for those who are curious, i've decided to look into serving next feb/march, that way i can be better prepared. since i'll be travelling shortly to do some charity work in lagos, i've made arrangements to go abuja to confirm wat info i need to bring when i serve. and yes, i'll be serving the full three weeks in camp (like the rest of you guys)

jeez people! take it easy. i don't kno y some of u got so defensive

thanks for those who helped/answered my questions

qkman:
invest in ladies wears and cosmetics, quite stressful but surely benefitting

why do u say it's stressful? i ask b/c my cousins (2 of them) and very good friend want to start shpping perfumes and bras back home to sell

can u say how much a good bra should go for in nigeria?

@fhemmy: N166 should be mallam/market rate

at the bank, i would think one would get the N150 range

thanks for all the updates people! i'm still counting down! i miss home o!!!!!!!!!

there's the link

really looks like the bench-warming EPL players aren't seeing any action today

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what KickoffNigeria is reporting:

Shock!!!

Word coming out of the Super Eagles camp is that Shuaibu Amodu has dropped all the big boys, except Kanu from the team.
And when I say the team, I dont mean the starting line-up. I mean they are NOT EVEN LISTED ON THE BENCH.
Only Kanu and Shittu are on the bench.

I hear the line up is:
Enyeama, Yusuf Mohammed, Echiejile, Sodje, Adeleye, Etuhu, Olofinjana, Kalu Uche, Odemwingie, Ike Uche, Eneramo.
Now, that should be interesting

just wanna say thanks to belingo for all that info

i want my boo and his brother to relocate to canada. my baby's alraedy educated with a good job in abuja, while his bro has another year or so to go for his degree (he's in the UK) so i'm thinking they can both maybe come to canada on skilled labour or to the postgrad options (student visa) then apply for work permit

your posts were very helpful; will tell them about it

thanks for the updates people! keep 'em coming

will be travelling next week

nonsense!!

this man is a disgrace to my people

sagiru2:
Yes N154 was the exchange rate at the black market today, not the official bank rate. By the way why are you annoyed ? i thought you ought to be happy.

happy at N154?! no o! i'm not, lol

i'd be happy at the N171 or N181 like it was less than two weeks ago LOL

           

now there's NO excuse against Kenya on Sunday o!!! there's still hope  

the commentators are in love with the uche brothers

uche dey play o!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love those brothers menn!

thank God for enyeama o!  

bawomolo:
olofinjana has no place in the super eagles.

is it me or did the french commentators just laugh at our team lineup.

i dey vex o

not really

they laughed at the fact taht taiwo isn't here though he knows st etienne (basically implying that he should be there) and added that though nigeria is missing quite a few key players, our younger players are dangerous/have potential

where the heck is taiwo!!!!!!!!!!

why is it that i've never seen a video or source for this quote?

people keep saying that she said this but never provide a source

please post MARKET rates o

thanks for the current rate

so N154 is the current market rate and not the bakn rate right? i'm so annoyed with this

my friend and I are flying down [from Canada] to Nigeria for charity work organized by her parish. We're just tying up loose ends to go to work in Lagos. She's going this week (June 6) and I'll be going on the 12th. I can't wait. Not sure the name yet, but we're going to an orphanage to donate money and spend time with the kiddies
We'll also be touching base with some schools there as well. Though my trip to UK/9ja was only suppose to be a vacation (I've got a wedding to attend on the 27th), I've gladly cancelled some plans (outings with friends/visits to family members) to do this

Not much but it's a start and i can't wait!!

@ babwilms: thank u so much for ur answers
good to know they won't expect to keep the originals

@ Andy, would you be able to confirm the info I inquired about above (if they want to keep your certificates or if they only expect to see them)?

@babwilms:

can you please let me know if they would expect to KEEP this information, or do they just need to see it before letting you sign up in other words, would one be allowed to walk out of there with their original copies or should we expect for them to want to keep them for their records?

i ask b/c my high school has already refused to provide copies of my certificates/records and i only have one set of originals that i would like to retain

thanks in advance to you or anyone who can confirm this

not that i'm surprised but i thought you would all be interested,

Fifa Vice-President Jack Warner has delivered a damning verdict on all but two venues proposed to host this year's FIFA Under-17 World Cup, saying they are not ready.

Warner, who led a team of inspectors on a one-week tour of facilities, told a press conference that Nigeria had a one-month deadline to get the facilities ready for the competition or risk losing the hosting rights.

"Only Lagos and Abuja are ready to host the competition now," Warner stated. "Countries hosting FIFA events are expected to be ready at least one year before the start of the competition, like South Africa and Egypt.

"The media will have to push the government and organisers to get facilities ready.

"If we come back in 30 days time, that is an indication that Nigeria will have to lose it, and another country has been standing by for the past nine months and it will be a dent on Nigeria's image if you lose the hosting rights."

Warner did leave a ray of hope for the likes of Calabar, Ijebu-Ode, Kano and Enugu but totally ruled out Warri, saying security reports precluded the city from hosting the event.
