cyrilikem: Being registered is not the question... the question is "are they transparent".
BGL is owing someone i know, and they are tossing the person. I think they are not reliable...particularly the current MD.
I can name names if you want. any one that know them should inform them to be straight with nigerians. BIG for nothing.
sorry,wanted to write recognizable ane registered/approved by NSE

their transparency is not something i have an idea abiut, most of these brokers/financial service operators always have one k leg or the other even the banks, so any complaints about them i wont be surprised at all

in the past we had companies that are not operating at all being listed on the Stock exchange; think about it, supposedly financial institutions being persistently fined for not submitting annual results

john365: the truth is that most of this telecoms companies hardly take in graduates or people without experience, this is because as soon as they grab the experience they will start jumping from one telecoms company to the other. most times it cost the company alot.
as for climbing mask there are many field of expertise in telecoms, those that climb mask are called riggers they enjoy but i see as suffering. there is VAS, Planning, Optimization, IT, HR, Database admins etc. in my own opinion the real engineering work is done by the RF network planning and Optimization engineers-seniors are in the office always while juniors sometimes go to the field but jst to tell those that climb what to do when they are up there.
moving from one company to the other is not unusual- BT engineers hop off to rivals with favourable working
the cost is an investment

teejayreal: This is an outrage! Over 40 policemen and officials from the Waste Water Management and Sewage Board, an arm of the Ministry of Environment, this morning stormed the mechanic workshop of Nigeria's first woman auto mechanic, Sandra Aguebor-Ekperuoh, and sealed the place. Her auto workshop, where she employs only female mechanics, is situated by 1004 in Victoria Island.

Sandra, who has been an auto mechanic for the past 27 years, runs an NGO that empowers women called the Lady Mechanic Initiative where she has empowered and graduated over 150 women in Lagos State alone. Sandra has over 150 women mechanics in Abuja and 100 women mechanics in Benin where 50 of the girls are graduating in three weeks time. 40 of them will be employed by Sandra immediately after graduation in her Lagos, Benin, Kaduna and Abuja workshops. Some of the girls who have passed through her are now self employed with their own mechanic workshops and even training other female mechanics. This woman has done so much to empower women in this country and it's so sad to see this happen to her. We should be celebrating this woman, not taking land from her.

She trains these girls for free, still gives them a salary and accommodates them. The land that was sealed today houses the Lady Mechanic Workshop and a hostel for her girls where the girls, some of them orphans, stay rent free.

Their reason for sealing the place? They are saying the land belongs to the Lagos State government. Thing is, Sandra has been on that land for the past 10 years. I've spoken to Sandra myself and she's devastated but staying strong for her girls.

this is an outrage....? was that suppose to make the autobiography more interesting?

how can ministry of waste water deal with land matters...are you really sure you have spoken to her?

[quote author=[CHocolaTE]]

Lies.

Look at Nairaland for instance, do you see women making noise about how other women are not getting married?
There is even an idiotic thread on front page that was started by a man that talks about how some women will never get married unless they change like say na by force to marry.[/quote]you look at Nairaland? I say look at the society...words on the street holds more truth than nairaland IMO

check a thread on the NYSC section, something about what their plans will be going into NYSC or just after it, vast majority were looking to snag a man or get married afterwards! what happened to getting a job? starting a business or living their own life??

Car TalkRe: Tinted Windows In Nigeria And The Police by DisGuy: 6:29pm On Apr 19, 2013
The Inspector General of Police (IG), Mr Mohammed Abubakar, says that obtaining police permit for the use of vehicles with tinted glasses “is free of charge and does not attract any charge”.

Abubakar made the clarification on Friday while speaking at a meeting with Assistant Inspectors-General of Police in charge of the 12 zonal commands in Nigeria.

He said that the meeting was to review security challenges, including terrorism, kidnapping, cultism and communal clashes in parts of the country in order to strategise on how to address the challenges.

The IG said: “obtaining tinted glass permit is free of charge, there is no amount of money written there for anybody to pay.

“Motorists should not allow any policeman, anywhere to subject them to paying charges that are not officially, legally and legitimately stated,’’ Abubakar stated.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the clarification of the IG comes against the backdrop of renewed clampdown on motorists driving vehicles with tinted glasses nationwide.

Motorists in the country have been lamenting that the police have been charging between N10,000 and N50,000 to grant the tinted permits, wondering whether the money actually goes into the coffers of the Federal Government.


Abubakar, however, said that those complaining about the clampdown were not sincere as they knew that “by all standards they do not deserve to have tinted glass vehicles’’.

PoliticsRe: Baba Suwe Urges Appeal Court To Affirm N25m Judgment by DisGuy: 11:27pm On Apr 18, 2013
[quote author=Mr. Globe]Baba Suwe Urges Appeal Court To Affirm N25m Judgment

Yoruba actor, Babatunde Omidina, popularly called Baba Suwe, has urged the Court of Appeal, Lagos to affirm the judgment of a Lagos High Court, Ikeja awarding him N25m compensation for his wrongful detention by the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency in 2011.

The Justice Chima Nweze-led appeal reserved the case for judgment after parties adopted their briefs of argument on Thursday.

Nweze said the date for delivering judgment would be communicated to the lawyers representing the two parties.

Omidina’s counsel, Mr. Bamidele Aturu, at the hearing of the case, said the entire appeal by NDLEA was “unmeritorious” and urged the appellate court to uphold the judgment of the lower court.

But counsel for the NDLEA, Mr. Femi Oloruntoba, further justified the action of the agency detaining Omidina upon suspicion of drug ingestion for a total of 24 days from October 13 to November 4, 2011.

In adopting the agency’s five ground-appeal, Oloruntoba asked the Justice Chima Nweze-led appeal panel, to set aside the lower court’s judgment, saying the verdict was not in agreement with the evidence the parties put before the trial judge.

Adeogooba: @Waleabimbola,
Thank you.I appreciate that.
@DisGuy

cos of the kids,I was actually looking at the somewhere in the central but cost first i guess,moreover most vacation rentals i have seen are either fully booked or some of our wish dates taken.please do you have suggestions of the other locations and their possible transport links to the central,thank you
Zone 1 is like the Central Business District/Central Shopping Zone most tourist attractions are scattered all over the city anyway so you will still need to move around. You need to look at the map of the city and the Tube map vis-a-vis main attractions your kids are interested in; you can get everywhere easily with trains,tube,buses all interconnected

Adeogooba: Hello great pple,


@Justwise and all the great pple..
Please i need your advice here.I just want to know what the best accommodation is for a uk tourist visa applicaiton for a family travelling together,a family of 5. out of the 5 only me the Father has a UK visa now. a friend of mine said,the embassy will not consider a family taking one bedroom apartment as hotel,he argues that it has to be 2 bedroom apartment for the visa to be granted.Now,i discovered that the prices of the 2 bedrooms aparmtment for summer are in the 3,000,4,000 etc pounds region for a week, for central zone 1 locations which host all the tourist attractions,.I will be in the UK for another business trip with my owned company partners and will like to have my family with me on a summer vacation.
I will like advise from all that have experience with applying for a group visa like this one. or those in uk already,advise on locations of interest in the central london and best places to trip my kids and wife and family shopping too.my main question is -is it compulsory to use a 2 bedroom vacation rental or will one bedroom vacation rental be ok for such application

thank you all
There are good transportation links all over so you done necessarily have to be in Zone 1 where most tourist attractions are, so you might want to consider other locations

InvestmentRe: Why Are Our Telecos Not Going Public? by DisGuy: 10:16pm On Apr 16, 2013
perhaps because they will have to be opened about their ownership structure [the nigerian ones], corporate management etc

and some Nigerian companies are not used to being scrutinized just yet

some just don't feel they can raise kind of funds they need on the NSE [many don't meet the minimum criteria to list in developed markets]
