CrimeRe: Nigerian Arrested In India With Drugs Worth N161 Million by deepwater(f):
There is something terribly wrong in the land. Despite punitive measure and capital punishment on drug trafficking in Asia, people still get involved in it.

Is this for the passion to overcome the poverty in the family or just plain laziness to be engaged in a legit money making business.

I wish enough sensitization and awareness could be done in Nigeria. The expectation to get rich quickly as a young man and show off to people you don't really care about needs to stop.

Our girls keeping forming slay queens or whatever, putting 'maintenance' cost on the high that a modest young guy can't fund, hence the young blood be pushed to social vices to make bread come bigger and quicker.

It is so painful to have the youths of today either been jailed up abroad or killed like a rat in Nigeria just about every other week, and the old wines are still being re-corked for the next sale in 2019

The abokis. have a way to solve this issue with just #20 those days.
Just put the person naked on top a hyena or kura as those locals call it.

I do see them abokis. roam the street of Lagos with such wild animals claiming it got panacea to bed wetting.

Dunno how true though, undecided

This alone, can set this country on fire.

#87 to #145 and there has been no significant positive change and you think additional #5 would do the magic?

Oga senator on this matter eh, just forget that national road bill nonsense' and leave the Road like that for us. Senator is it your Road?
They repaired your Abuja airport Road in due time without additional levy to you pocket. Now you think you can come and levy me Abi?

Hello, I have heard about the Access bank commercial paper where they are trying to raise N100b. The rates are somewhat interesting. Please see short details below:

Issuer Access Bank plc (Access Bank)
Size Up to ₦37 billion
Tenor 90, 180 and 270 days
Discount Rate 90 days – 18.75%
180 days – 19.00%
270 days – 19.20%
Effective Yield 90 days – 19.66%
180 days – 20.96%
270 days – 22.38%
Issuer Rating “A+’’ Long-Term (GCR) / “A+” (Agusto & Co)
Minimum Subscription ₦5million and multiples of ₦1,000 thereafter
Tax Considerations Free and clear of withholding taxes
Offer Opens 25 May, 2017
Offer Closes 31 May, 2017
Circulate the Allocation Notice to investors 1 June, 2017
Investors fund their commitments 2 June, 2017

Do we have an expert in house that can help us understand more on the CP and if its better to invest in it than Tbills considering all elements including risks. This tranche seems to be rounding up but very high probability that they will sell in another round.
Thanks for sharing, I am just wondering how healthy access bank could be.
Do you have a reason as to why they need to raise such amount? Is this a periodical event for them or first of its kind?

I go like o... Do I need papers to be a roustabout? I'm a Bsc holder. As no job yet, I could do with roustabout.. Believe me... If you can fix me in don't think twice please. Thanks.
sorry, i can not fix u.
Yes, you need papers to be a roustabout, surprisingly if you are sponsoring your self, total cost is more expensive than all tuition fees for a 5years engineering course in a fed uni in Nigeria.
Drop that Bsc holder mentality. There is a big gap between the school work and real life job

oh my bad... I am just one of the hopefuls though... Thanks for giving a good insight into the situation. And just incase you guys might need some roustabout on the subsea platform, don't forget k199192 is yet to get a job so I would do even less than roustabout. Thanks.
What papers do you have as a roustabout, roustabout has its limitations, advice you expand and acquire marine papers as an oiler/motorman/ AB seaman, it make it easier to be on board the vessels, pipe laying barges, construction barges etc.

As for accommodation barges/floatel, I no sure say u go like to roustabout dia

I get your sarcasm, however, i am still surprised that when one takes a logical shot at something, people begin to think you are an insider. Like i said earlier, i no follow and i no dey, so i no know.

osasomoruyi:
Thanks a lot ....I currently have a little place which I freelance my ICT skills but I can make up to 25k on a good day for the business owner but at d end of the day he gives me 1k or sometimes 1500....asked him to employ me full time but e just laughs and says he cant afford to pay a bsc graduate and i cant complain sometimes cos working for him keeps me busy and that meagre income do sustain my feeding....have engaged my hands but my mind is at torture
Laughing and telling you he can't employ a bsc holder is a scam and ploy to exploit you my brother!
He enjoys the services of a bsc holder but has refused to pay. The problem here is that you are yet to evaluate your self properly as well as the quality of services you cam render.
Its almost like you are more concerned about your lil stipend to feed on that's why you take the 1500 from him.
Talk to the business owner again, negotiate something reasonable, if he declines, walk away.

Well it's easier said than done.
All the best

Hello guys, Congrats to those called and to those yet to be called just keep hope alive.
Concerning the selection letter, I do Have the following submissions:

1. Ridiculous allowance . We must try to separate the training from normal engagement. Dangote has secured his part with the 5 year bond. So no favour here. We must also secure a better remuneration. Remember you will not just quit your accommodation all in the name of travelling to India for one year.
2. I think they should give us better timeline for the programme rather than saying with immediate effect
3.Does selection letter equals employment letter?
4. Payment in India rupees sure exposes you to currency risk when trying to send money home to dependents. Conventional practice is to pay in dollars. This is done in also organisation for oversee trips. Payment is made in the stronger and relatively stable currency
What do we think guys?
Hello, while I respect your opinion, I am however surprised at your view.
One would have expected a better comprehension from an applicant at this stage. (no pun intended)

1. I am taking aback to hear you say the out of pocket stipend is ridiculous, maybe you have confused per diem for this stipend. (oga, your leaving expenses is.been catered for already) The letter explicitly mentioned that accommodation, feeding and local conveyance would be on the sponsoring company. Your stipend is for out of pocket expenses only (you are not on a shopping spree).
Let me digress a lil, TOTAL is a thousand times bigger than Dangote, it's last batch of trainee were paid 80k/month for almost a year while interning at ogere, convert that to USD and let's talk about Industry market rate. SHELL would be sending some Nigerians to the UK for rotor tug ship handling for tandem operations, how much is their stipend?
Payment after training is always different and much better. And yes, it's a favour to work there, you are not better off than others who didnt scale through. Think about the better you after a year of intensive training for free rather than quitting your accommodation.

2. Your time line would be issued at companys' discretion, not at your time.

3. Selection letter cannot equal employment offer, the clause in the email body spells this out completely. You all are still subject to having positive medical result. Meaning no confirmation of offer yet. (this should not be explained to an applicant at this stage)

4. Have you confirmed your destination to be India yet? And for the 'conventional practice', Oga, there is nothing of such cast upon stones to be followed.
As well, no company pays anybody money to send to dependents at home. You would only send money home from whatever you signed up for At your own discretion. The company cannot factor this into HR policy, not everyone has dependents, this is not the salvation army.
Your income is only a means to an end, not the end itself.

I have friends who turned the offer down, you could do same. No need to rebel, it is an offer and you were asked to accept Or decline hence your feedback was requested (perhaps the 'observation' word used in the letter confused you. It's just an official way of asking for acceptance / declination to progress on this occasion so someone else can be filled in or otherwise.

P.S . I am not in this recruitment process and forgive any typo, I am not a n English girl.

I hope you scale through completely.
Goodluck and warm regards.


For other hopefuls, please eat well, sleep well, read more books, listen to good music, relax enough and put energy into other things. What will be would be. Cheers

Interesting. Stanbic IBTC gave what I would call an impressive 17.7% on a 364day tenor on Treasury Bill. I think one other interesting dimension is that once discounted, the rate holds true for the bargain. Another reason why TB is safe and predictable
Pls confirm, is.this for secondary or primary market??
