Shuo, no comments! Are we all with our calculators doing permutation?

I've not been able to open the site for two days. I paid in my cash and placed some bets, however I don't even know the outcome as I am unable to reach naijabet's home page. Is anyone else experiencing difficulty?

I am amazed and disappointed with the way most people are reasoning over this issue. The problem is that our educated youths don't read anymore. And when they do, they don't understand.

Let me summarise the issues at stake:

What was published by Rapport was that they are in possession of documents issued by the Nigerian authorities. At no time did they state that they had recently come across these documents. In fact these were the same documents issued by our government when the funds were initially seized. The South African authorities had studied these documents and were still not satisfied. At no time did the SA government change its position. The topic is misleading and mischievous. The SA media did not confirm the legitimacy of the deal, they only stated that they were in possession of documents which showed that the transaction was approved by the office of the national security adviser. The SA govt have not come out to say that all is well.

The reasons for seizing the money were that SA laws had been broken. It doesn't matter if our government actually wanted to buy arms, the truth is that in trying to purchase those arms they broke SA currency laws. Again the company purported to be brokering the deal wasn't registered for arms transactions.

Has anyone tried to google Rapport's site on the matter?

Please try and understand postings before taking a position and do not take topics as facts. This is why our pass rates at WAEC and NECO are so poor. Students don't read and understand the questions.

Try not to be lazy and question issues further.

Hi I am interested in the car. What's the price?

Can this go for 350k?

Traditionally by Igbo customs, it's the father's mother that goes first. Modern day practice however has changed that and for reasons earlier adduced in this thread, especially with the new mother being more comfortable with her own mum, the wife's mother comes first.

emiye:
And what is expensive about a 3.75 million per plot land in Lagos?

I think we'd need to look at the land location. The area of the port is near Eleko Beach. In fact you need to drive past Eleko town to get there. Similar land in that remote are does not go for that price. The land cost in that area is in the region of 600k to 1m. However when the development takes place, it would be normal for prices to rise.

Unless of course the LASG is basing their equity contribution on the future value of the land. They may have a point. If that is the case, it should have been spelt out in the beginning.

obayaya:
Now that's one very very expensive land

It sure is! That comes to about 3.75m per plot (as per my rough calculation using figures earlier provided in the thread).

OP, had you known your wife could have traveled back here on her expired passport. They would have allowed her entry but she wouldn't be able to travel out with it. Then once here simply renew it the Nigerian way which would cost less than 20k and take approximately 24hrs.

Mazi_Omenuko: All I see is 'sarcasm' in the tweet! He didn't take it that serious and I suspect he was just trying to throw a joke.

We too dey take things serious shaa.

I agree with you. It is amazing how so many people cannot differentiate. Why are they taking it so seriously?

Well done!!! So proud of you all!!

Lilimax, it is either that you're very young or you have assimilated too much propaganda in the run up to the last elections. All the same, you need to do some valid research to get your answer. You may not find it on the pages of nairaland.

For the avoidance of doubt I am Igbo, Christian and I can honestly say that when the Buhari/Idiagbon regime was truncated by military coup, our country lost its way and we've never found it since.

Nice topic and a topic that I've had to discuss with several in-laws and my own family members. Having worked at various levels with large organisations as an employee and now currently self employed, I would say that professional exams are more important to the average employer than your MBA. I have had the unfortunate experience of interviewing several MBA holders who don't just cut it. While the professional people have a better idea of what needs to be done. Personally I would not employ an MBA holder over a qualified professional. Now I know that the executive MBA is regarded as a professional qualification but having gone through both I would still hold the professional (non MBA) in higher regard.

Basically there have been a lot of sensible posts but the main thing is what do you want to do as a career? If you want to be an academic then obviously MBA is the way.

I wish you luck, because none of the paths are easy...

If you possess a very good command of the English language (spoken and written), have basic numeracy skills and are computer literate (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, this may be the job for you.

A degree is not a necessity as on the job training will be given however successful candidates may be required to enter for professional examinations in due course. Very bright school leavers may apply.

Candidates, male or female must be intelligent (quick learner), attractive (presentable) and honest. Knowledge of the Yoruba language will be an advantage but is not essential.Preferably candidates should live around Isolo, Okota, Ijesha, Surulere however this is not a concrete criteria. Preference will be given to candidates who have the ability to speak and write fluently and the ability to assimilate facts easily.

If you fulfill the above requirements please send an application letter and your CV to grandmet@metrong.com. Scanned Passport photos should accompany the application.

Hi house,

Please can anyone advise me on what to put as an answer to the question on DS 230 part 1

"In what occupation do you intend to work in the United States?" Some sites have said one should put Unknown. My friend is filling the form and she is currently unemployed and has been since NYSC.

Please advise.

Thanks

You sick sonovabitch. . .what did Zik achieve other than tribalism to deserve an immortalization ? May the curse of Eyo ita continue to torment him in hell.

How was Zik a tribalist?

I don't think it is offensive. If you're an Igbo trader-you enter indenture at about 9-11yrs, work for 7 years and get your freedom. By this time you should be between 16-18years. You are settled with about 250-400k depending on your Oga. If you can't turn it over in 6 years to get 1m then by my people's standards you dey Bleep up.

How did this make the front page?

I love the idea of our consciousness minds living on after our bodies fail us, but I find that because I'm terrified of death and the not knowing, the idea of the mind living on pleases me more.

I love your post
