yes but my own emphasis is on when[b] most londoners get back to nigeria,[/b]they don't tell the truth,whats the point of working yourself to near death to buy clothes and shoes for like ten people?or make it an obligation to spend thousands everyday on alcohol when you know you r coming back to suffer for it?
i know boys who live in a shared flat and drive bangers here and have audi tt,mercedes benz e.t.c in lagos,and no other investment also most people are fond of showing they v arrived rather than telling it as it is,why dyu think people will work all hours,save as much as possible or get involved in all sorts of scams just to go to nigeria for 3 weeks,paint the town red and then back to balancing up again

I don't believe you! how exactly do you know what most Londoners do when they go on HOLIDAY, people usually spend more than necessary when they are on holidays anyway, you don't exactly gather everyone around and tell them you are a student doing part-time work do you?

I know of illegal/legal immigrants working their butt off, living in shared flats here who own houses in nigeria sending their kids to private universities, are they also showing off?

I understand some people do scams run to nigeria to blow their money but they are also thousands working legitimately, saving for their HOLIDAY in nigeria, _{its good for the economy right?}

ctrume:
This thing don tire me o,its not easy at all.[b]And i heard gettin a part-time job in london isnt easy to come by even as a [/b]student but then scotland could be so quiet and lonely,especially stirling.Back2 square 1

see nowhere and nothing is easy so you better man up and stop looking for Mr. easy, remember you are not the only student coming from naija, thousands are coming from india, pakistan, ghana and so on, you all have equal chance of getting a part time job as a student. It likes everywhere else you dont get things on a plate of gold you need some effort

Try Reading or Aston from the list above!! go full throttle stop dithering or else this September will just come n go!

Come Fed!!!!! one more title that smallie can wait!!!

All geo political zones should be challenged to generate at least 1000MW each
to add to the already existing MW being generated

Even with all the negative threads about UK, how many threads do you read
about people abandoning their visa applications?

Nigerian in UK needs to stop showing Nigerians at home that it easy because let face it, it not.There a credit crunch on.

All over this site I haven't seen anyone specifically saying/showing it's easy to live in the UK or anywhere else,

lucabrasi:
if you ask me i think its our own fault,when people ask me what its like i tell them straight up and then pray for them or curse whicever way they want to see it that by the special grace of GOD,they will collect at worse 1 week visa even 3 days to see things for themselves and then self judge
nigerians will save the whole year just to oppress people for 2 weeks,without any charity work or anything meaningful

some people wont know until they experience it so whatever you tell them is just part of the whole equation
people don't really praise the UK out of proportion

lucabrasi:
its all about the mind set,i go everywhere and actually prefer going on walks on the main road,everywhere than driving,people just blow things out of proportion
@poster
as long as you r not staying in the ketus,iyana ipaja e.t.c and theres a generating set,airconditioned house and car then u will have the time of your life

So its better to be confined to only lekki, VGC and the co to enjoy Lagos?
prisoner in our own state

i think its just a saying, have you even seen someone going to church to pray for phcn?

One for the team!

@ Dis guy
You seem to be so naive of the impact the Olympics had on Obi and Messi's career. By the way do you know how many people watch the olympics? Or are you Obi's fan before the Olypmpics at Netherland? May be. But millions got to know Obi at the Olympics for the first time. So Olympics is a big game if not the biggest game in the world. Football at the olympics can be rated great following that submission.

I still don't get it, Olympic football is like an U21 tournament, perhaps we are looking to earn easy brownie points with the Olympics and get some players on the market

millions of people watch the Olympics not necessarily for the football though

lucabrasi:
people mainly make the united kingdom their destination because its english speaking and also compared to the united states its easier to obtain the visas, also its only 6 hours and has a large number of nigerians,nigerian restaurant,market e.t.c so u know its almost like being home, as for the number of nigerians in the uk,i don't see anything near accurate on here yet so i wont even comment people trying to come to uk are not doing anything wrong as migration has been going on since the 1960s the only thing is that i think potential travellers should know the reality of things in the uk and know what to expect

i think most of them refuse to take it on board or as the Nigerians we are, we believe if you are not rushing back home then there must be 'something' there!

Cristalz:
Most Nigerians in the UK are Yoruba. Whats the attraction,i wonder

another guess, can i play? Most Nigerians in the UK are southerners

McKren:

Clown

probably because he has a wife that steals on his behalf

what has she stolen? I think she is not doing that bad or perhaps you mean the vice presidents wife?

almost immediately, i can always call back


So stephen tell us, how long exactly did you hold on for, i have a feeling its up to 3 hours!

There was fear in other parts of Akure as residents stayed indoors on hearing that soldiers were on a public protest. The protest, which started around 3p.m, lasted till 6p.m, as the soldiers who were chanting war songs forced motorists coming into Akure to turn back. They also stopped motorists travelling outside the state capital.

Good on them! i wish all Nigerians could do this, block Abuja with a massive trailer, especially the road to the airport!
STAND up for your right! no electricity!!

magine Jayjay posts? This is a black that is even hunting for me? Imagine- despite my post on nairaland he still looks for me around the company. Thats why I have been silent.

na wa o!! why is he looking for you? why is he taking it personal? or don't employee have the right to complain again?
As long as you are doing your job right what's the witch-hunting about?

Mr. Wale Ibipeju Oniranu!

Worse for Obi he won't be at the Olympics where Ronaldinho, Messi etc will feature.

what's the big deal playing football in the Olympics? football players don't count that as a big achievement! except Nigerian players!

Mikel will still play I'm not too sure, Ballack and Deco will play well together but you never know

is the air bag working?

cant really remember what OBJs first year was like, his second term was more noticeable!

kojeiwa:
Is Bank the only company to work in Nigeria. Graduate in Nigeria are so interested in working at a bank

even if they have a biochemistry or physiology degree

you should know why!!


I think people should be more interested in what the bank or any company hiring them has to offer
i wonder if these banks promote their staff as at when due or know the staff turnover ratio!!

o be todun taxowo lo baje something like that

“The more we contribute, the better the provisions and services that government can provide.”

Lagos to spend 6tn

Nigerian webmasters are evidently the most sought-after

Serena is doing too much work, she should be sending Zheng up and down!

that could have been arranged way before the events, just give them tickets about a month ahead
send letters to the parents and extra tickets so they can come along too!

If you saw Fasuba's interview, he ststed clearly that he doesn't expect to keep on winning and that he's happy there's 'competition'. The guy says he's stressed [b]after so many meets. Moreover he says he looks forward to the Olympics - to him, qualification is just what matters now at the meet[/b]

more like he is stressed after so many parties- you know he got a chieftaincy title after his world indoor medal right lol
invited here and there to hail the 'new king'

bolts and co qualified since the beginning of the year, they are still going all out!

the 20k walk was really sad! when they finished the race 90% of the athletes in the stadium left already
the officials couldn't even give her water!!

Yep totally agree with you! very good start

HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?

never heard of it, thought the old one never really go to people anyway

“Accordingly, to achieve this objective, the Commission is focused on expanding, extending and enhancing existing identity infrastructure and where necessary exiting obsolete technology and processes in order to establish a reliable, secure and scalable identity management system infrastructure that utilises advanced biometric technologies to uniquely identify every individual in the country.

“This strategy is what we have code- named 4Es through, which we ultimately hope to deliver in partnership with the private sector, a National ID Management System infrastructure upgrade that is consumer focused and sustainable,”

Sky Blue:
@Dis Guy, i disagree. If the CCTVs are used to actually sucessfully prosecute criminals, who one earth would want to be commiting a crime in front of CCTVs? They have worked as a deterrent in quite a few countries. If CCTVs are places strategically in the central business district for instance, after a few weeks of well publicised busts by the police with the aid of CCTV and the word is out, who would want to go and take free photo when he is commiting a crime?

i agree they are used to prosecute criminals but haven't you heard of balaclavas?
I think it will be very useful if they are used immediately to trace vehicles/vans involved in robberies
at best they will reduce minor disorder; like traffic ffences, illegal car parking, refuse dumping etc
if they are used at a local level-councils, wards and so on

i was watching it yesterday on ait, the stadium is empty!
they couldnt even get school kids to go cheer up the athletes so sad!

obinna metu won, fasuba second and durotoye third.

Fasuba is dreaming of Olympics gold when he cant even beat local athletes,
if you cant run sub 10.00 you are coming in last!

With the coming of the new ID card scheme project in December

another 'new' ID card scheme?

the problem with CCTV are they don't really prevent crime. Hopefully they can publish the criminals/offenders
nationwide on TV or newspapers!

Israeli officials believe the diplomatic process is useless and have been pressing President Bush to launch air strikes before he leaves office on January 20 next year.

come on like he will really want that!!!

wars in two countries, the price of oil at an all time high. . . .

Also, what are the measures one has to take to avoid severe punishments by the nigerian authorities, can someone please give advice? Any advice would be appreciated even advice from enemies are welcomed.

According to this documentary-trapped, the lady being deported settled for $100


Good luck with your appeal

the criticism i don't get is, people blaming african leaders for not 'talking'

only few of them are elected fairly and most of them don't even have influence on Zimbabwe!
what does Ghana, Togo, Uganda, Egypt and many countries have to say to Mugabe, its not as if he is even listening
the west have been 'talking' way before 2005 he still didn't bulge.
Nigeria probably doesn't even trade with Zimbabwe

one part of international politics i still don't get is the press statement that usually reads
" we condemn this blah blah blah" then that's usually the end of it

BTW many European countries are still in Zimbabwe trading doing business, paying tax to the same regime
under the guise they are employing locals
Zimbabwe is still printing its billion notes from Germany!

they either get him out by force or wait for him to kpai!

_{Bush is threatening an arms embargo, what were they waiting for
the last shipment from Yankee suppliers?}
