I know Amina, she's from Aremo-Lanase, Ibadan, her father's house just beside the St. Peter's Church at Aremo. She use to sell eko eleweran to my Old Pa, and her sister sell us akara. I still remeber very well. Anyway, she don land America, na so, American dream be.

Bro, na dem companies know why they always do that.
I have worked with many many of these chaps, and 9.9 out of 10 times, they don't know jack. Asides from the heavy phoney, nothing much else is seen. If you are referring to actual technical know-how, they fall short of the average Nigerian. I have come to conclude that it's just perception and hype. I'm sure I can't be the only person on this NL with that opinion.

oyb:
people who work abroard typically work as specialists. [b]the way things are in nigeria, most of us are generalists. eg i as an engineer, i do electrical and air conditioning, data, fire alarm designs, i do my own drawings, i do my own contract documentation, i do some small hands on jacky work. . .[/b]if i were in yankee, i would proably have been trained in only one of the above , and i woukld be completely out of water, if asked to work on any of the others.

that is the issue that faces so many professionals that come back home imho; their environemnt has not prepared them towork in the nigerian environment

as AJK noted, they them fall back on the phone/accent and i can tell you with an accent and the right amount of bulls- you will go very far.

i have a friend from back in school who came from yankee in his teens. his siblings have more or less shed the yankee accent, but the guy no gree.in class, the guy would talk total op, and the lecturers would just be nodding their heads. the only guy it failed to work on was bj olfeagba. he immediately told the guy to stop talking nonsense.

there is nothing like an incomprehensible accent and the ability to bamboozle

now i know why im always struggling to figure out what exactly you are, one minute you were talking cad, next some i.t stufftehn oil n gas
a bit of finance, I.T stuff   na to start you comapny remain

cabage:
@ Prince84, thanks for the advise, having the baby now wont be feasible now because its takes nothing less than 9months to deliever, by the time i come i will probably be in my first trimester. And really wish to kill 2 birds with the same stone, you know how you naija boys are. I have got a friend that is ready to help and if the stress gets too much i will send the baby back to Nigeria. Thanks again really hope to meet you when i come to Ukraine later in the year

AjanleKoko:
Lot more opportunities in Nigeria for financial analysts who are Nigerian-born. Though highly competitive, as the naija boys dey really on top of their game. In fact I wonder if someone from yankee can even compete!

Is it just me or is a secret dictator emerging in Nigeria and we can't read the hand writtings on the wall

INEC should not control the activities of political parties and yet members of Political parties in executive position must not decamp. Who will enforce the rules? Presidency? o yea they are seeking more powers for police? and we all know the relationship between the police and the Presidency.

[size=16pt]I am waiting to see if the National Assembly allows any of these criminal bills through.[/size]

President Yar'adua is designing a system for himself, it must be opposed with our last blood.

This man is too shy to campaign or compete he wants a custom rule tailored to his wishes and control. If he does no contest the next election, expect Yuguda to be the PDP leader. And is anybody wondering why Yuguda quickly decamped before the rule is changed by his father-in-law?

i guess it depends on how they are brought up. i have an aunty whose husband strayed out tho he still maintains his first family. goes over to the other side to sleep from friday to sunday (he does not miss it for the world)
what a life. the other wife cant get pregnant for him and she is relatively young (heard my aunt pronounced a swear on her)
i hate polygamy with a passion. too much wahala

Kwara United
The Atonja Warriors, as the Ilorin outfit are called by their fans, look set to emerge tops in the National League Division One A group.
They were relegated last season and coach John Obuh was called in to salvage things. Like the old Stationary Stores were said to be guided by the spirit of their late founder, Israel Adebajo, Kwara United appear to be enjoying protection and guidance of a host number of spirits – AD Okafor, Abdullahi Bebe and Kafaru Alabi.
Don’t ask me why. But Kwara United currently top the group with 48 points, five points clear of second FC Taraba. .
In the remaining five games, Kwara United will play two at home (see fixtures above). Three of the games are on the road.
Mathematically, they may win all two home games to make a haul of 54 points.
Out of the three away matches there is a mathematical possibility two points on the road (probably vs NAF and Unicem Rovers).
If this eventually comes to pass, they would have stretched their total points haul to 56. Jalingo and Vola may not be a fertile venue for Kwara United to hunt for away points.
Reason is that FC Taraba and Adamawa United are actively involved in the promotion race and will be out to make things difficult for the Atonia Warriors. But before the trip to Vola for Adamawa which is the last game of the campaign, Kwara United would

FADAKA:
@Blacksta, 1. There is no age limits on truck-head.
2. With new e-payment, u are looking @200k to 250k (Naira)
3. COST of shipping from UK/Germany? i don't know. lol
But shipping from Us for single axes should be around $4600.

Remember to buy certain trucks to Nigeria, e.g MACK, IVECO, MERCEDES and make them Old models.
" The older the easier to maintain "
Goodluck on your new haulage biz.

@ DISGUY I've followed the comments and it's a pity your's displayed a great deal of ignorance and shallowness, it's because of your types that Nigeria is static today.how can a person who lived to witness the performance of the last governance of states in the federation ask what Donald Duke achieved with cross river?
It is very important that in forums like this, people have clear understanding of what they want to contribute.
The principal reason why Nigeria is where it is today is cos of corruption.this man ruled and was never invited by the EFCC or had a single petition against him,the only governor in the 36states without a petition.
Look at cross river today and compare it with what it used to be.
He grew tourism and that's another source of income for the state.Everybody wants an experience of Xmas in Calabar. do you understand the amount of money that flows into the state and the pocket of his people at this time?
do you know how much ogbudu generates?one can't help but admire the Tinapa dream. mind you Tinapa is on right now just that it's in phases and the present governor is not giving it as much publicity.
Donald duke did not wait to receive allocation,he thought of generating more funds for the state.look at the roads, the neatness of the place,paid salaries when due everybody was and is happy with him, this is the kind of man we should seek for and we're debating that SARAKI a broad day light thief should be president.I just can't help but weep for us all,

sistawoman:
I thought polygamy was having more than one wife.



I guess i need some clarity.

Does the husband divorce the first wife and then remarry? If so that is not polygamy right? Not really

Dont polygamius households all live together in the same compound? Not necessarily, some can afford a second house or some just dont want the trouble of daily bickerings or some didnt seek consent from the first wife

Does not the first wife have to accept the second wife? Nope, the 'husband is the head of the family' rule applies, plus the first wife is usually probably a graduate but wont work and totally dependant on husband or she just accept it, it's a culture afterall

Is there some type of legal recourse left for the first wife if she does not accept the second wife? if she is married legally i guess she can file for divorce, no law to enforce childcare payments and other expenses though- basically at her own risk!
