The embassy has rescheduled all appointments meant for tomorrow Aug. 29th, 2011. to another time, most likely due to the UN bombing.

Important Notice!

All visa appointments that were scheduled for August 29th have been cancelled and will be reallocated over the following few weeks, giving priority to students. We regret any inconvenience this may cause.

BusinessApple Ceo Steve Jobs Resigns by damola1(op): 1:52am On Aug 25, 2011
Baba has resigned!!!,  when the ovation is loudest, And I wish him a swift recovery

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs has resigned and will be replaced by former Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook, the company said late Wednesday. Jobs will stay on as Apple's chairman.
Apple made no mention of Jobs' health in its statement about the change, but Jobs alluded to it in the letter of resignation he sent to Apple's board on Wednesday and later released publicly.
"I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come," wrote Jobs, who has been on medical leave since January. Cook has been filling in as the company's leader. (For more on Tim Cook, see Fortune's landmark profile: "Tim Cook: The genius behind Steve"wink
Apple's (AAPL, Fortune 500) board took pains to praise Jobs, who lead a historic turnaround for the once-ailing company. Apple shares were briefly halted in after-hours trading as Apple announced its leadership change. When trading resumed, shares dropped 5%.
"Steve's extraordinary vision and leadership saved Apple and guided it to its position as the world's most innovative and valuable technology company," board member Art Levinson said. "In his new role as chairman of the board, Steve will continue to serve Apple with his unique insights, creativity and inspiration."
Apple's fans flocked to Twitter and other social-media sites to mark and mourn the CEO torch-passing. "The end of an era!" one Twitter user wrote, while another voiced the fears many share: "I pray it's not bc [because] of his health."
In January, Jobs said he would take another medical leave of absence, two years after a six-month sabbatical during which he received a liver transplant. Although it was his third medical leave of absence, he continued to make Apple's major strategic decisions while Cook took over the day-to-day operations.
Cook has nearly 30 years of experience in the computer industry, serving in leadership roles at IBM (IBM, Fortune 500), Intelligent Electronics and Compaq before joining Apple in 1998.
Jobs made his last public appearance in June when he unveiled iCloud, a free wireless storage and syncing service, at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference. Jobs received a standing ovation when he took the stage.
Jobs co-founded Apple in 1976 from his family's garage with Steve Wozniak. Nine years later, Jobs parted ways with Apple after disagreements with management. He returned as a consultant in 1996 and became interim CEO a year later. In 2000, he took the job permanently.
In his second run as CEO, Jobs led Phoenix-like resurrection that transformed Apple from a bumbling also-ran to the second-largest company in the world by market value. Billion-dollar products like the iMac, iTunes, iPod, iPhone, and most recently the iPad have made Apple the envy of all tech competitors.
"I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role," Jobs wrote in his resignation letter. "I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you."
Six years ago, Jobs delivered his only commencement speech -- one that is often cited as the speech of his life. "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life," he told the crowd at Stanford University.
It was a powerful talk, given the CEO's history of illness. Jobs was diagnosed with a treatable form of pancreatic cancer in 2004. Since then, both his health and how the company would run without him have been topics of intense speculation.
Tim Cook, who will take Jobs' spot, quickly gained the favor of the notoriously hard-to-please CEO. Cook was named COO in 2005 after having "been doing this job for over two years," Jobs said at the time. Jobs even gave him an office near his in Apple's Cupertino headquarters.
As COO, Cook has been responsible for Apple's product sales and operations, overseeing the company's manufacturing, distribution and inventories, as well as negotiating with wireless networks that carry the iPhone. He organized Apple's successful retail store strategy, and he is in charge of ensuring that Apple's new products launch without any setbacks or major glitches.
Design and marketing, however -- which fell directly under Jobs' purview -- is not Cook's forte.
Still, some analysts that follow Apple say they believe Steve Jobs built up a resilient culture over the past 14 years, cultivating strong teams that can continue to innovate without him. Many of those teams pulled off very ambitious projects while he was on leave, including the iPad 2, iOS 5 and the new MacBook lineup.
"One of the most important things that Steve Jobs did in Apple 2.0 is rebuilding the culture," said Mike McGuire, analyst at Gartner. "But it's not quite the 'cult of Steve' like many believe. He built incredible teams that didn't quite have free reign, but had plenty of room to innovate. It's going to be hard work, but Apple will be fine without him."

it's a unfortunate we under estimate the effects of poor customer service, , and that's why I for one appreciate this thread.

Customers that have had a bad experience in a field, usually are scared to go that path, or simply traumatized by the experience that they wouldn't want to give it a second chance, unless it's overly necessary.

how do we expect to migrate to virtual world like every other developed nation, when we can't even get it right with physical contacts,

deenee:
It is not Sanusi's fault.Our economy relies heavily on revenue from crude oil exports and manufacturing is virtually non existent. THE CBN had even tried to prevent this by 'placing a limit' on the demand for dollar and this in turn, created a parallel market where there has been a huge margin between the official and black market rates. The depreciation in Naira is caused by market forces- demand for dollar as against Naira has increased  and exacerbated by the fact that our economy is largely import oriented. More so, our currency is just a 'transitional  legal tender' with on 'real value' attached to it.

Let's get it right please!
My brother, all dat one is not concern the boys on the street. Let them do what they need to do to keep the economy afloat, that's why they are there!, sanusi, johna oh, they are public servant, so must deliver!, or do you expect me without any tiny power to go and fix that for them?

FamilyRe: Is My Salary Enough To Get Married? (N45,000) by damola1: 5:34pm On Aug 22, 2011
sexkillz:
You are earning 45k and to you it seems small! i've seen people tht earn 120k and it is still small to them! And they complain they cannot marry on a 120k salary!
here's what i'll say to you!
Look for an understanding wife that will be willing to support you, and ready to SHARE! She shouldn't be a heavy spender, else you my friend are on a loooong thing! She should also be earning some cash! If she is earning 45k, you two would be raking in 90k monthly and that to me is ENOUGH to run a simple home!
Now, you two would need to make a budget! Divide your money  and be strict about it! E.g if you run out of your monthly allowance for meat or recharge cards or whatever, MAKE SURE YOU DONT ENCROACH on money set aside for savings to buy meat or whatever!
Before you BUY anything, consider if it is really, NECESSARY!
If you need something, search for new items on sale at discount prices or good USED items!
Dont be an Impulsive spender! Try not going for the latest things all the time!
Consider that it usually costs LESS to buy ingriedents and cook meals in your home than it does to EAT OUT!

These is all i can say for now! MAKE YOUR DECISIONS WISELY!!! SO HELP YOU GOD!!! smiley
jerryben12:
Cut your coat according to your size. With N45,000 a month you can still live a quality live and plan for higher grounds:

Housing - N12,500 per month (Decent 1 Bedroom Flat in Ikorodu, Owode, Berger, Akuwonjo etc)
Feeding - N15,000 per month (Take lunch to work from home. This is just you and your wife)
Transportation - N4,000 per month
Clothing - N5,000 (Save this for 2 months and do clothing shopping every 2 or 3 months)
Wife up keep - N5,000 per month
Others - N3,000
Savings - N5,500 (This will increase when your income increases)


Easy to do. Just get use to this routine. When you get married, your wife may bring in some money too. Before she gets a job, make sure that you give her the feeding money monthly.

Hope this helps
It's MORE than possible, cos I know not 1, not 2, not 3 people who do it!
