It's annoying that the good and beautiful side of Nigeria was not shown on the programme. How can such documentary help or encourage the foreigners to come to Nigeria and Nigerians abroad to come home and invest.

DID THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT PAY FOR THIS DOCUMENTARY?? N8BILLION WAS SPENT ON N.T.A LATE LAST YEAR WHY CANT YOU ASK THEM TO COMMISSION DOCUMENTARIES?

Mariory:
Why can't they focus on the people who actually keep Lagos moving (like working class, emerging middle class). I hope they do this in a future documentary.

WHY CANT YOU DO YOUR OWN ABI? WHY ARE YOU WAITING FOR THEM TO DO ANOTHER ONE THEYVE DONE THREE ALREADY!!!

ADint:
Have come across limited information on the project, it may be one of those projects that have been designed with too much complexity so as to create a big 'wow' factor on completion - although there may well be other issues. Geometrics though have some pedigree, t[b]hey completed a smaller 15 Megawatt power project for the FCT in 2001.[/b]

and that's it? that's their pedigreee, i'm beginning to see the guy/geometrics as overrated or just any other Nigerian company with a professor in charge to be honest

no wonder amaechi said indigenous contractors are always giving excuse or producing substandard work!!

MRbrownJAY:
^^^^^^but didnt we hear the same call to Button to save fuel as well?! i thought i did.

the same call was mad to Button 'later' on but initially i thought the call was made to botth of them until later after the incident i i heard the call made to button directly'
to me someone must have told button that lewis has been advised to save fuel or perhaps he innocently thought lewis was slowing down, but all the same he's atosser and im very certain lewis is just playing mr nice guy-i'll catch you later

MRbrownJAY:
DDAAYYUUUMMM!!!!!!
Formula 1 rule number ONE: dont crash into your teammate. . . . . . . .  FAIL!!!!
its more bitter knowing that they were leading a clean 1-2.
the fact that Vettle dont want to take the blame for his silly move is  

my man Alonso, still 4th in championship race. . . . . . . . oh well, maybe Canada will be better.

i had a short celebration when Button overtook Hamilton. it was really short but felt so good!

short celebration?? I had the opposite, i was like, wTF is this button doing you're in comfy posiiton good 7 seconds ahead of the rest now you are playing msarty pants
In china lewis didnt attempt to overtake him when they were doing a 1-2 so why is he trying to take advantage??

9NYSC: Now Your Suffering continues

Now tell me how old would the guy be by them, thank God for those private Unis sha

In the middle of all these a proactive student in a 'kind' society should be able to get work expeirence in a manufacturing plant or some office as a junior or network with family member and friends getting experience
instead they just resign and blame everybody else

[quote author=Pa-Ken link=topic=453274.msg6109898#msg6109898 date=1275066342]It really baffles me when I go through the CV's of job applicants here at home since I came back from the UK. I have noticed that the average age of most applicants without any job experience is 27-30 (ie fresh graduates). Within that age bracket in the UK, one should have had at least 6-7 years job experience because at 16 you are legally free to leave school and start work and if you decide to acquire a university degree you must have completed it before you are 21. I had a manager back then who joined the company when he was 17 and acquired his university degree on ''2 days release per week''. He became a manager at 33. Having spent 13years with the company, he fully understands the job role. I do not believe that one can acquire all the skills you need in a job by spending so much time in school because when you leave school as a fresh graduate you'll still need on the job training to function effectively in your chosen role. I understand that our educational system does not help matters at all (ie incessant industrial actions and NYSC thing too which has lost it's purpose). What should be done to correct this abnormally in the future?[/quote]I have seen adverts for sales assistant or shop assistant in Nigeria asking for HND,Degree is social sciences blah blah bla like they'll teach students how to pack a bag or how roll up their sleeves in class

Well some business men instead of investing the start-up loan for running the business tehy celebrate the mean feat of getting loan from a Nigerian bank- no be moin moin o to get loan so they celebrate with new car new house etc etc until the end of the first month

Some business men have the feeling their idea will start making money immediately they move into the new V.I office

A.I.T

ishmael:
Please i need opinions from you guys, because it hurts me to know that statistics is not given a priority in Nigeria as it is in other countries. how do the people who take decisions for us do it? which data do they use in planning? i wonder, buti need to ask other nigerians.

They use foreign data UN and other agencies. have you seen the thread about lagos having about 11million slum dwellers? The OP said that BBC were exaggerating but couldnt provide a figure from nigerian government to counter. . .

Sometimes last year Madam Dora was disputing the stat by some international Agency about maternal death or something similar when she was asked in return what figures she had she brought out a paper only to be reminded
the nigerian department was using the field stat done by UN

I think the Office of National Planning is putting something together but as usual its not accessible to everyone apart from those that work there- very useful isnt it

joxiri:
ba was fined heavily as a result of the us case and people were reimbursed part of their fares i dont think they would be that silly to do price fixing again

. . . more like doing it in an african country- nigeria especially should be easy peasy

They'd be silly doing it again in countries with anti-competition law or any country taht has actually responded to the case in US, I dont think the people in naija even pretended to be interested, airfares to naija has been the same range ever since even with more direct flights and transit competitors

Iyineda:
****UPDATE****

Hehehe! Not anymore! The match has not been cancelled. It has a new venue >>> http://www.kickoff.com/news/15613/luton-town-for-super-eagles.php

Alright!

UPDATE 25.05.10

The eagles wont be playing in Luton town anymore they will be playing in Milton Keynes!!

http://www.kickoff.com/news/15648/nigeria-make-another-venue-change.php


see after you people will be asking why nigeria cant play friendlies with proper teams- who wants to play a country that cant organise ordinary 'monkey post'

Lagerback should continue using Kanu in the friendlies until he gets injured or pulls a groin

It's only a friendly people and they had lunch or was it dinner some few hours before in Naija

davidif:
Why do we get all this crappy friendlies?

You really think any serious team wants to play against nigeria LMAO

chei see treatment, top class physiotherapist attending to this beaten player with pyoooo water

Sagamite:
That ia the way it should be done. Sounds like music to my ears. 


Absolutely not!!!

It is not only the parents that raise a child, it is lot of factors embedded in society.

I dare say, in the West, the TV raises your child more than you do. P Diddy is the real P Daddy figure.

I can tell a child raised in Naija from one raised in the UK, easily. For example, most of the ones in the UK find it had to adjust to things not going their way and definitely throw a tantrum as they are indoctrinated that they should almost always to get what they want or for it to be provided to them otherwise "the system is a failure". It is even very evident when contrasting dating a Naija raised girl to a UK raised Naija girl, their reaction to not having their way.

African kids are far more better behaved. It is even evident when I was watching this UK programme of WAGs in South Africa. The WAGs kept on exclaming how well behaved the SA kids were because they are not used to that in UK. We are talking about mostly toddlers and U-5s in this programme o. Talkless of pubescents and teenagers.

Why wont it sound like music to your ears? eh thats saving £500 a months on childcare!!
and the mother doing all the long hours at work or any owambe going!!!
_{but the children still attends snap crackel pop 'international' school sango-ota with a British headmaster}

lol@ the fans coming out when its only 3 games to go

please don't 4get Eyinmba has another away game coming up and at home to Rangers

Interesting country isnt it?

You buy land, you build house
You dig well/borehole yourself for water
you build prison-like fences for security
You even contribute money for transformer
You contribute money to make the roads motor-able; at least your street

david22uu:
ADEBAYO OGUNLESI, the owner of gatwick airport in UK and alsoo theowner of more that 3 power stations in the US. I no sure Dangote rich the guy even

See Bandwagon effect you read about a man some few months back in a nigerian newspaper all of a sudden he is your hero

_{Dangote is actually richer than him}

Jarus:
Bros, when we talk of 'The Guru' in corporate Nigeria today, only one person has been 'licensed' to answer; MIKE ADENUGA!
When you asked us to guess who the guru was, I expected to see MIKE. If Jim himself is asked who the guru is, he will tell you Mike Adenuga.

Mike Adenuga is officially 'The Guru' and 'The Bull' of corporate Nigeria, and to me, he's the most fearless risk taker in Nigerian economy.

Yea I cant wait for this Guru to try his skills in other markets outside nigeria/Africa you know where people actually pay tax and follow some sort of 'law'

silami:
Pastor Kumuyi
Adenuga
Dangote
Kase Lawal
Ribadu

Alas!! more proof church in nigeria are corporate entities declaring profit and loss

President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua laid the foundation stone during the ground breaking ceremony held on November 1, 2007 at the Power Plant site in Osisioma-Ngwa, Abia State. This project is expected to be commissioned in April 2009.

Still not ready?

even more annoying is that response above 'u guys have to get a bigger transformer' y are the residents doing nepa's work? After paying bills, u know buy transformer, then u employ an engineer not a technician? Bloody hell nigerians are very patient o!!! several months without power sum1 tells u to go n actually find out what exactly is wrong, if u have to do all this yourself, why dnt they just burn the nepa office n save tax money??
Eku suru o

Kano Pillars held at home

BeComeRich Dont worry, You will make it!!! that is guaranteed

So what's the country like generally and the people

Eyinmba Lucky o They had to play a team banished all the way from the nrotehrn part to Calabar just next door to them!! Basically making it an away game to Ranchees Bee

an Away win for Eyinma topping the table with a game in hand!! Oh boy make Afonja warriors go jams those banished teams as well two away teams

I am quite aware of the dangerous path of being GJ's defendant here, because in actual sense I am not defending him, however I need to state that this hyper-critical stance of some of us on here need to be corrected. Now to your question ,  find below an appraisal by a commentor on GJ'S  tenor as a givernor

Erm Yaradua and many state government got/get the same treatment, why should Nigerians now back pedal, he's a southerner?

Yardaue promised 6000mw,
Yaradua Appointed a northern NNPC Cheif
Yaradua didnt wear suit or never appeared much
Yaraduas wife is too powerful
Yaradua is slow
Yaradua looks boring
etc etc

Remind me again why this is seen as being to critical of GJ?

[quote author=na_so link=topic=449494.msg6074572#msg6074572 date=1274483663]There is no proof that you are correct here. Has he not removed the Inec head like we all asked for? will he not appoint another leader for the electoral body?

Ok coming to the electoral reforms, where is it stalled now? Has the uwais recommendations not been forwarded to the NA for deliberations?[/quote]Iwu's tenure was not going to be renewed anyway
Uwais report, i remember on nairaland many people describing it as a nrotherner agenda when ~Yaradua set the panel up, now everyone's on it like cream!!


I remember someone on another thread saying Jonathan within three months got the power equipment out of the ports after several years- failing to mention the old weak bridge and a new bridge was being built the all this months!!

I honestly hoping he achieve something in his short/long time in office _{and lose those dark clothing}

Have you seen them since?

your online news website is bang up to date

Ikengawo:
i dont believe in this brain drain myth.


most of us don't realize that most of us are brilliant in nigeria.

the UK and USA aren't getting the 'best' nigerians, they're getting average nigerians and realizing the average nigerian is smarter then the average anyone else.

if the schools in nigeria were up to standard they would be and currently are, pumping out geniuses.

also idk why ppl are trying to make it a tribal thing cause lets be realistic, JAMB statistics have proven igbos get almost double the scores of yorubas and triple hausas.

so you mean those teaching the best students left in nigeria after all these years cannot bring the schools/uni up to standard?
