Aliyu is a lazy bagger, Niger state is next to Abuja, I wonder why he is not taking advantage of that, many people can be living in Niger and Working in Abuja, build estate on the border towns and get the FG to build the roads

Or attract Companies looking to serve the Abuja-north central markets and get them to Build in Niger state where land and labour would be cheaper

Some of these state governors should make cuts elsewhere, they are busy building White elephant projects, or some projects that are not sustainable
Imagine a state like Gombe building Hotel and stadium (they have no football team and no athletes) Most of them are also fond of building new Government complex or houses for the governors


The incoming Governors should reduce the wage of their Commissioners by 15% or merged separate ministries

Niger state some few years ago was looking to build hotels on/near the Zuma rock signing redundant MoU with an American company, absolute wast of money

This group seems to be fearing public outcry

The last time a New tariff date was announced it came with the date and price BUT this NERC is announcing a tariff date without announcing the tariff itself

Every country is just looking after its own, the recession has taken its toll, even before the recession the graduate labour market is fiercely competitive

If you want to study in Britain with the intention of going back home, it is a nice idea. If you want to remain in England and hustle it out, it is also cool. There are lot of opportunities for business in England which we Nigerians ignore. The Asians are doing well because they're operating from the business angle in Europe. They're not interested in vying for office jobs with the Brits ( They know their chances are slim ), so they level things up by doing business. They've taken over the Post Offices and are also buying into the phone companies gradually. They have numerous restaurants etc. Africans are still blind and not seeing that entrepreneurship is the way out for them. Cater for your community and in the long run, you'll cater for the world. Cheers.

It is not cool if you haven't got your papers to hustle, the stress and money used in dodging the system better spent looking for a job in Nigeria,
You also have to remember most immigrant specifically African immigrants are not coming with cash, just about half pay their full fess upon entry hence they immediate focus is on education or work. the Asians are established, have better networks, good knowledge of the 'system' and they actually manufacture things in their home country that is in demand in the UK

perhaps they've been ignoring the letters/complaints of the woman, Now it's in the public they are trying to cover up

Cant remember the last time a court in Nigeria sent a wife beater to jail, at most they'll dissolve the marriage and take away the kids from the mum

True but theres nothing against having a second wife or a new wife? As long as your represent a family front

I doubt if their appointment will be withdrawn afterwards if they decide to separate or marry a new wife

Obasanjo obviously had several

Hypocrite. If u ave never slap a woman before in your life, cast the first stone.

Alright. How about folks who go over there for a kind of education ''highgrade''. Their company can give them study leave up to some 18 months - without pay, and then they come back to their work back at home.

The other day, a technician friend of mine at my workplace said he ''will not mind going to the UK to do both undergraduate/postgraduate courses/programme'' - could take some 4 years, and then come back home and be better recognised by the company. He's in his late 30s. The only snag here is that the company ''cannot guaranty'' his employment (after staying away for so long) when he gets back. His wife works as an engineer in an oil coy in Port Harcourt. We're not sure if she's willing to help my guy actualise his dream. What will you advise such a person who desires UK (obodo oyibo) education and who seemingly have some capacity to pay?

it will be great for him, though not too sure why need needs undergraduate education again, if he is experienced and has HND or some
The most challenging aspect apart from the funding (tuition, accommodation and living expenses) is the very competitive job market

But if he can pay and he has a fair chance of getting a role with his previous employer upon his then better for him really. He might even discussed the option of doing a work placement at his previous company that why he'll still be visible to them

but 4 years no be beans o- Buckingham does 2 year fast track undergraduate

so because of political appointment he stuck to a wife he didnt get on with?

she almost ruined his career? he almost ruined her life!

Seun:
I will only believe the story if his children are interviewed and they confirm the story.
That's all. And also, if they vouch for their dad and say he never battered their mum before.

the man pays the school fees and air tickets, you think they will ever say anything against their dad? haaa
you dont think they like using the phrase ' do you know who my daddy is'?

There is also a clear timetable for when and how many MW will be added to the national grid. 850 MW is scheduled for the end of this month, so we can be pretty confident that we now have a govt thats serious about tackling the issues of power supply.

_Ima Niboro of Nairaland

I asked a question because i couldnt find a news i saw somewhere you were mentioning some MW by end of MAY

if you have it post it

CASH x 10

Whats the big deal,

Bombs go off in the Presidents Hometown, No Arrest, No comment, No blinking--share the cake

Gas flaring is a thing of the past, the president now lives in Abuja far away from the troubles

Energy48:
Personally, with this particular story, I am more inclined to believe the Hubby's side of the story simply because of the extent the wife went to destroy the family name.

Think about it, she has five children for this man but her actions shows she did not care that dragging his name in the mud would leave a lasting damaging effect on her own children. If the husband beat her as she alleged, she should simply have reported the matter to the Police and let them deal with him. Not so this Jezebel, she chose to go the press first with her story. WHY? What did she aim to get by doing so apart from destroying his career? What sort of caring mother with five kids for a hard working husband would carry on like this please?

YES I totally agree with you, the family name is much more important than her life! Nigerian women are well known for taking a few punches well in the mouth

The father is the one paying the school fees anyway so the kids wont mind the occassional black eye on their own mother

are you serious? ^^^

AjanleKoko:
Most of y'all have never been to India or Pakistan obviously. You say Nigeria is noisy? Okay oh
Just visit any of the big Indian cities like Mumbai and Kolkatta, or Karachi in Pakistan and you'll know Nigerians are not the noisiest.

The noise in Nigeria is restricted to the big overpopulated cities, like Lagos, Ibadan, Kano, and Port Harcourt. I laugh when people say Hausas are not noisy. Try visiting Fagge market. The only thing I can say for Hausas is, they move a lot slower than people do in Lagos.

Personally I think noise is inevitable among the overpopulated underclass. Too many deprived people squeezed into a small area, struggling for their everyday livelihood, noise is kind of inevitable.

compared to southerners, Hausas don't shout when they speak, Faggae is a market area- consisting of traders from different cities

^^ does yours come with an accompanying cover note?

was there a requirement for driving school certificate?

OAM4J:
Give him some more time now, he is just settling down as the new C in C.

but he was the C in C when it was launched and there was no 'settling down' allowance in the roadmap

the govt has been on a break since the campaign, all the ministers were on holiday instead of working

What happened to the deliverables by end of MAY 2011 according to the roadmap

see beef o

these same people wont hesitate to curse Tafa Balewa chewing sugar on the floor with his kids, or Turai and her pikin them, or even Ajimobi's daughter from Ibadan


Now they say something about the Bayelsan umblella champion e turn to fight, you na no dey shame?

They came from all parts of the country, even if it wouldn't be out of place to describe them as the Lagos business crowd. They were dropped one after the other in state of the art cars at the entrance of the State House, Marina Lagos. They turned out mostly in well tailored suits, with not a few in full national attire, particularly of the South-south variety. They milled round the expansive premises of the State House as early as 6.00pm, men and women ostensibly at the top of their game. They exchanged banters all around - a handshake here, backslapping there; a hug at one end, a peck on the cheek at another. In this select crowd were most of Nigeria's biggest entrepreneurs, bank chiefs, captains of industry, CEOs of blue chip companies, top players in the oil and gas sector, and many other big employers of labour. All members of a group elegantly called Corporate Nigeria, those in this privileged crowd were at the State House, Marina Tuesday last week to honour the invitation of President Goodluck Jonathan, in what was described as a thank you pre-inauguration dinner.

Jonathan had every cause to host Corporate Nigeria to dinner. For one, many members of the group dipped their hands into their deep pockets for hefty donations which Jonathan generously deployed to fund his presidential campaigns. For another, in other climes, such presidential dinner provides a good avenue for a serious head of government to socialize with the creme de la creme of the business community, put faces to names, drop one or two ideas on the administration's economic direction, and get some feedback on business challenges from government action or inaction. What can be achieved in such an informal environment may be much more than days of tedious sessions at workshops and seminars. Unfortunately, neither the president nor Corporate Nigeria seized the opportunity to make any meaningful statement. Neither appeared to understand why the need for that kind of presidential dinner.

Guests were supposed to be seated before 7.00pm when the president was scheduled to arrive. Jonathan did not arrive until 8.00pm. And there was no apology for arriving an hour behind schedule! Could that be an indication of the respect he has for the members of Corporate Nigeria? Even with Jonathan seated, it was a battle to keep the guests on their tables. There was a complete breakdown of order and discipline as many people moved from one table to another ostensibly to exchange greetings, but apparently to be noticed. Nobody listened to Compere Ali Baba's repeated appeals that guests should keep to their tables and stop moving about. Was that the respect the president was deserving, even with envoys of other countries quietly seated? Or was it just a general lack of decorum and self-respect, an indication of the disorganization in the nation's business community?

continued. . .Thisday

The head of FRSC is always hosting one dinner or the other for some high ranking politicians and celebrities

What SERVCOM really like, i know their functions on paper, but has anyone ever interacted with them, complain and get anything resolved by them?
or they are just another Civil Service/NGO type outfit

^^ well they will have to do something about it, when they start losing customers, the only way to make the system better is to try it our first then improve on the hiccups

if the shop blame you for not bringing cash, you are not losing your money, they are losing your custom, another smart shop that has improved or implemented a better system will attract more customers

I can't remember when last i was paid in Cash for a Car Purchase. This is simply what i do, irrespective of my customers bank, i operate co-operate account in 3 major banks and if my customer doesn't operate the same bank account with me,i will transfer the money into my aboki's account who operate accounts in about 8 major banks in Nigeria and i get the equivalent back in $$$ which will be credited into my domiciliary account. By doing this, i still go cashless.

In other way round, if I and my customer operate the same account with the same bank, i go cashless by e-transfer or direct deposit into my account in my presence and e-transfer into my aboki's account and get the equivalent back in $$$. For m,going cashless is so simple.

See correct business man, less hassle more profit

Those that increase their prices will lose out to dealers that embrace the change and accept cheque, mobile or bank transfers
