d33types:
OP, whats your point?
The military and other paramilitary bodies do this same kind of overnight test..
it doubles as endurance test.

let me inform you that you've lost this job [/b]except God intervenes..[b] EFCC has the right to request your info including e-mail from Nairaland oga and you're blacklisted as a talk talk for life..

You're a wise man in the romance board but that's where it ends.


NB: the military, dss all do worse tests than this. it is not violation of rights..its preparing you for the job and weeding out the weaklings

forming boss man, abeg which right o?

d33types:
lady, its standard procedure world-wide [/b]to test military and paramilitary agency recruits the same way.it's a test of endurance my dear..
if you hear stories of the [b]FBI recruit training you will weep..
and to add to it,the EFCC is a paramilitary organisation, they even use guns as well.

This dude just they throw bombs this sunday morning, standard procedure world wide?? cheii

training recruits is different from shortlisting candidates abeg

Dominiquez:
Still wondering what this guy did to bh if they are hunting for him.

he's a good chef apparently. ...

How come this Godwin Obaseki is seen to be Osho's lackey who will cover his 'loot' but his current deputy is not regarded as his lackey?

cheers

drwebs:
Thanks for bringing this post from the past.
We can now see that the project is ready at last.

Before the APC warriors come to acclaim the glory to current administration, it should be noted the project was started in GEJ administration and was 85% completed.

Gej has been the best thing to happen to Nigeria.

God bless GEJ

ABUJA LIGHT RAILWAY?? where is it ?

Boeing777pilot:

_{I had a feeling from the start there would be more questions on how to become a pilot/getting scholarship than any in-depth discussions about aviation}

lebete3000:

its imported from the north Olodo....Thunder go fire anybody that quote this post!

senior olodo, which north? the one across the border- chad. Niger or within nigeria

and they are called plum tomatoes not yoruba tomatoes Olodo snr sir.

mrphysics:
Can you do me a favour of keeping quiet. I am new in Kano, not even that new, as a corps member I have been to different places and asked questions.

I am not used to Kano, so my experience will be different from yours. this is relativity.

I understand your experience will be different but you are coming with some authoritative statements even without evidence . How many corpers have had their hands cut off for talking to a married hausa woman? what has happened to all the people you see smoking? who arrested them?

The hausa boys and girls that graduated under 25 how was that possible considering your claim of compulsory islamiyya school pre conventional school. plus all the private schools and missionary schools like St Thomas. St Louis you think they teach in hausa language

You should get a refund from your uni, spend less time listening to beer parlour gists and use the money to travel and expand your mind!!

yinka2011:
but you know these tomotoes are going to cost even more come next week when the NAIRA hits 280 to 1 dollar according to this what i read. buy all the tomotoes before monday people i think they will become more expensive.


http://www.easykobo.com/News.aspx?id=19475

these tomatoes are not imported so e no consign dollar as long as the price of petrol remain stable the price will remain stable

the price hike wasnt due to dollar rates but pest infestation

SweetBoyFriend:
Yoruba girl
What is Rodo

scotch bonnet pepper = rodo

bettercreature:
This is a local tomatoes,its a bit cheaper than hausa tomatoes,its very very bad
The stew would turn watery within 2-3hours
i vomitted for 2 days the last time i ate it

lol @ local tomatoes, are the hausa ones imported?

hybeenoni:
A very important to note, pple plz while we advice OP not to give a wrong impression about kano state, which know some of his assumptions are wrong, let's try understand with him while we correct such assumptions and advice him on how to tour the city to educate himself the more.

OP has not even toured 5% of kano state, that's a fact, but let's not kills his wish to explore the state with harsh criticism.
If you tour this state well, believe me you will be the 1 correcting pples impression down southon ur return

its just very irritating to the senses some of his write up. i was looking forward to reading about kano-good or bad- from a graduate but most of what is being written is about what he's heard in the village.

the best thing would have been to either write this after nysc or after several months in the state.

in fact i now know why Nigeria is not developing with a closed attitude like his

numericalguy:
The OP is full of lies and stereotypes.
This is the type of lies and stereotypes that you would expect from someone who has never been to the kano.

OP, if you truelly have been to kano, I would expect that some of your stereotypes would have been dispelled by real life experiences..

Actually stereotypes one would expect from illiterates, sounds like the guy has never been outside of the East!

was also expecting him to narrate how corpers or traders had their hands chopped off or if he actually saw people smoking in the toilet

abi no be the same Kano wey I sabi with many Igbo and Yoruba boys growing up?

I know it can get volatile very quickly but this guy sounds like he's been living in a beer parlour growing up!

I was enjoying the story but there were too many inaccurate stuff up there, seems like you went there with a bag full of presumptions

Enjoy your life but be conservative

Which kind people be this sef, chasing someone for 8months??

and she sef is still friending the person...? she didn't block him off

Are those buildings in the background the university?

gambus007:
Reason is I still like my country no place like home.they are not friendly.no good food to buy...electricity,transport links are very expensive...from xtian village to legon campus is 1cedis 60p (135naira) less than 6km.you can have all that but still not happy.cedis might sound small but d purchasing power is very low.for the fact that dollars is high in Nigeria things are still cheap in Nigeria compare to Ghana.i know what ma saying ...i earn dollars because am on scholarship for post-graduate program....

I understand what you are saying because the patriotic factor will always be there but people saying this is expensive, that is expensive

Compared to Nigeria, many countries with 'stable' electricity, decent broadband, good transportation links, better security will be more expensive especially if you are comparing the Naira for every item

Quality of life and Cost of living are usually interdependent

luka1981:
Today is special and remarkable to me because it is the First time i am praising any institution that has to do with Nigeria. To make long Story short. I was at Berlin to renew/ apply for passport and i was shocked by the level of professionalism and intergrity the workers displayed while attending to Nigerians. People were called accordingly, their Finger prints and Fotos taken. In less than 20 minutes their new original international passport is ready. No Single bribe, no do xmass or do easter for us. No exchange of envelop. And these People were given all these services without appointment. Kudos to the Nigerian Ambassador in Berlin and other patriotic Nigerians who made This possible. I am happy and motivated because it is a sign that we can make our country work if we put the right People to work.

The only improvement needed is at the man in The entrance and the igbo man scanning Finger Prints ans Fotos. Both men lack Männer of approach to work in public offices. Apart from This, their Services is close to perfection.

Wow that is extremely quick!

gambus007:
i disagree with you about Ghanaians bn friendly..they are not.they are individualistic in nature..full of pride.things are very expensive.common coke cola sells for 3.5 cedis (259 nairaland)at rate of 74 to 1 cedis.good accommodation can not be less than 500 cedis per month(175,000naira per month)rate of 74 to 1 cedis.average meal which is less than mama put canteen is around 6cedis to 10 cedis(700 plus)..electricity is stable sha.etc...no security challenge,good transport system.opportunities for business if u look in ward.in conclusion Nigeria is better than ghana my opinion.

better electricity, no security problem, good transport links, peaceful and good biz opps

but Nigeria is still better ?

there must be a big factor

macherie1:
What CBN has just done is shoot themselves in the foot. An economy that is largely dependent on import has no business with a full float exchange rate policy. We are net importers. Devaluation of our currency doesn't help anyone. If we were exporters, devaluation will make our goods more competitive but as importers, we are at the mercy of the banks who will exploit the policy to their own benefit.

Asian Tigers like China who understand their economy had a fixed exhange rate policy for decades and later changed to a managed float to encourage investment. Never free float. Why? As Net exporters, they had to keep their currency undervalued compared to other western nations. Hence their goods became very competitive so much that Americans now import largely from China. Most American companies even have their factories in China.

What should Nigeria do as a Net Importer? Have a managed float exchange rate where the currency is prevented from being fully depreciated against market force to prevent a very sick economy from imminent collapse. Then Invest in infrastructure and develop export. The Asian Tigers broke the jinx of poverty in their countries by developing their export trade. The government should look at the things that Nigerians spend dollars on importing and loan money to Nigerians who can start producing those things here in our country. Invest in research and human capital development.

But first, Buhari should fire every single member of his economic team. There are very weak and lack Ideas. Instead of them to study economies that have gone through this phase and what they did to get out of it, they keep applying trial and error economics, toying with the livelihood of over 200 million people.

Until yesterday we have had a managed exchanged rate!
Since '99 we have been investing in infrastructure and developing export- or at least that what they told us they have been doing, green revolution, operation feed the nation, agricultural transformation etc etc

Well done guys for re-vitalising this page. Was wondering why so many students after getting advice on here disappear without giving back or popping in once in a while
