What are your thoughts on the various scandals rocking the government? I noticed that what we call corruption in Nigeria is labelled cronyism here. Contracts for family and friends without due process is called cronyism but we call ours corruption. When TI does their next rating, we will still be high up there and since the perception here is not of corruption, they will be much lower on the list.

Want to book in block. Would a block of 12 lessons be sufficient

I had driving experience in Nigeria (No formal driving school experience and mostly automatic). I booked a block of 10 lessons with AA I told the instructor I didn't know how to drive much and after the first lesson, the instructor said I could drive so we worked on the rules and other test areas.

robosky02:
Just go around our higher institutions in the evenings... And see for yourself

That statistic was not my experience in school and certainly not what I see now. Some? Yes 90%? NO, no where close to that figure. Men are equally as guilty.

JustCare:
Why are you guys too serious on this thread. I see less talks about lifestyles here. This is my attempt on bringing adding more spices to the conversation here - I hope I’m stepping on no toes.

What are your views on our sisters selling ass here in the UK?

Please I cum in peace, let’s just rub minds and no abuses

This is new to me. Never heard of such. Must be in or around London. Life is hard there.

robosky02:
Most girls of nowadays sleep with married men, it has become so rampant and so bad that I can put the statistics at around 90%. And the worst part is they actually enjoy doing it, and most of them do it because of money (sugar daddy tinz), some do it because it's a no "commitment" relationship that gives them the pleasures of a normal relationship but without accountability and policing that normal boyfriends do.

If the highlighted above is really true for you, you need to reexamine yourself, your environment and those you mix with.

People that are used to Nja tastes and pkroducts think they are inherently better but it's just about exposure and what folks are used to.

Like some think there are no better easy cook noodles or noodles (full stop) than the Indomie brand; to the extent of bringing cartons from Nja.

That said, @Lexus; it will be interesting to know whether we were making any sort of bread in Nigeria or subsaharan African before the introduction from either the Arabs or the Europeans.

Did our people ground any sort grain to make any sort of bread including flat bread, Chapati, nan, rough dough bread and so on?

Black History - much of it lost forever and ever...

Reminds me of powdered milk. This was probably introduced by the Europeans, perhaps due to short shelf life of fresh milk. We hardly drink fresh milk in Nigeria now but prefer powdered milk. We have acquired so many tastes that we now think it has always been like that. Don't talk about stockfish.

No p....
I just been wan follow up on the Digital Banana gist.... my guy for london bin recommend am give me. Say the hands-on experience will come in handy.... but wifey say make I land first.....

Digital Bananas is not for everybody. People make it using them but recruiters are increasingly becoming sceptical. There can be hidden costs too, depending on the mood of the owner. Start learning online then consider cheaper paid services like Udemy and Udacity. love-vendor your CV and send out those applications.

Yes it was never the case before Brexit. Transit visas are now required when stopping over in any EU country (unfortunately)

Thanks. Advantage BA.

Please does a visitor from Nigeria need a transit visa when going through any of the EU countries? This wasn't the case before Brexit.

AirBay:
Pls if you see lucky number, abeg help me. Sometimes I get depressed seeing ppl win £10m, seems I saw £36m... se na true dn go gv the person the money minus 65% tax to the queen

I think it's tax free.

mercyp001:
Sir, the person in question Is a radio network optimization engineer, with a year working experience.
Thanks Sir for your input.

Not so sure what the RNPO market is like in the UK. But he/she should not limit themself to that but also look at related roles even within telecoms project management and planning. He will typically be looking at the major operators, OEMs like Ericsson and third party service providers.

Lexusgs430:
In the UK, if going through a divorce. The name change plays 0% part in anything............

If the husband likes, he should only buy the property or properties, in his name only........

His wàhálà....... The wife still bearing her father's name, is still entitled to 50% of marital assets (as a starting point).......

So to what end is all the wàhálà...... Would the name change - :

- Increase their love
- Increase their amount kids
- Increase his/her libido
- Increase their wealth
- Increase their debt
- Increase their credit..........

In some cases they don't even need to be married sef

Hi, Telecoms is quite wide, can you be specific with your area of specialisation? Generally there are telecoms jobs but most are low paying (at least to me). I will be more specific if I know your industry/specialty and if I have information on it.

wallg123:
You are right telecoms industry is very wide hence he needs to be specific what he wants and what qualifications he/she has...

And no they are not low paying job. Especially if you not a contractor and you work directly with the company ..... BT(EE,Vodafone,plusnet,02) they all have good starting salaries.

The amount of ridiculous emails and calls I get for telecoms engineering roles even as low as £150pd and the sheer number of field engineering roles paying 25k is enough proof of this.

mercyp001:
abegiii, who is attending to me on this .
I am still waiting. thanks.

Graduate jobs are 24k. A reputable company offered me 26k as a graduate staff. I have friends that earned 17k now they are on 35-44. My first job in the UK was 22k (3 years ago) but now, omo!

So no, 28k is a good salary when you’re starting. Let’s learn to be grateful and to build from small to big.

It's not about being ungrateful. Sometimes if you undersell yourself, it's very difficult to recover except you leave for another company. During my time, low paying graduate jobs in my industry were paying £26k while some were paying £40k. This was almost 10 years ago. I do not see anything wrong with the person raising an eyebrow about the pay. He/she was probably trying to gauge opinion on the salary. I thought my pay was okay since it was similar to my earnings in Nigeria but because I hadn't worked in the UK before, I didn't know much about the cost of living and taxation.

£25k salary is small. About 10 years ago I started on £28k and that wasn't even considered great then. His/her statement was not out of place.

Danhoys:
I thought I knew what dirtiness was until my cousin's sister started living with us. We gave her a room, a roof over her head until she finds her bearing.

She's an orphan, almost going to 28 years, and sells food on Sundays for cash.

But, looking at her, she's the replica of the word 'unappealing.'

Her hair is always shabby, dirty, and she never attempt to even braid it to keep it in order. Black is beautiful, but hers comes in brown patches and acne.

She doesn't even care.

We have a water closet, and she's ready to keep popping without an attempt to flush. The last time I traveled and left the home for a week, the toilet was beyond what I could comprehend.

To the point I had to do renovation, repainted the wall, and had to hire a cleaner to help wash the toilet thoroughly.

I couldn't risk catching a disease doing it myself. That was how bad it was.

After doing all these, she stopped using the toilet, but would prefer to pop in the compound with a black nylon at night.

Sometimes, she even forget to throw them away. I had woke up very early in the morning. Saw her bucket and wanted to use it, what I saw changed my day.

I saw her feces, and since then I vowed never to touched a bucket that is isn't mine.

Aside from her protruding stomach which she does little to hide, the wrapper she wears every evening have never seen water in months.

Women are supposed to be conscious of their unclothedness, but not this cousin of mine.

She can avoid all the bathrooms, and choose to bathe outside in the open at night.

Like, around 8 to 9 pm when everyone is still very much awake.

Sometimes children will bump in on her unintentionally, and the kid will run away traumatized by what he or she have seen.

I dare not go into details to recount how she prepares the food she sales, and how dirty her coolers and kitchen utensils can swim with maggots for 6 days before she finally washes them on Saturday and prepares food on Sunday for her esteemed customers.

She's not beautiful facially, nor wear makeup or earrings since it's against her belief.

Doesn't wear clothes that suit her. If she dresses like an mbeke, that wouldn't be a problem. I just don't understand her dressing at all, coupled with her dirty look.

When it comes to religion, hers is the worse, jumping from one church to the other. And worse, we hardly sleepy at midnight.

She is always in battle with demons, with her speaking of tongues that don't just sound ridiculous, but deafening and irritating.

She's just 28, and I doubt if any man has ever stopped her on the road, and I still suspect she have never laid with a man before.

She's not mentally unstable if that is what most of you might think.

She's lively, knows how to joke and hold conversations like we all do. But when it comes to her body, grooming, overall cleaningness, she's zero.

There are grades of dirtiness, but when it comes to a stage where someone now dines and wines with feces, then there is a problem somewhere.

She's shapeless and doesn't want to do anything about it despite my numerous advise. She eats junk, like...

She runs to the backyard, gets some vegetables and fry it up with some concoctions and food is ready.

I know all their foods, and the things she cooks is nothing less than a concoction. I've eat her food once and my stomach testified.

A thoroughly analysis of her personality fascinates me to some extent. Is this her personality? Something that is genetically engineered into her that she has no control over?

Can she change?

Do you think I can help her, how?

Which one is cousin sister again? Is it your sister or your cousin?

Aphrodite007:
No, just submit the new passport. I don’t even know what revalidation means, but you don’t need that. You’ll be asked to upload your passport and then you include the old one if you like.

Thank you ma.

justwise:
No, you basically have to be traveling with two passports until the visa expires

Great, thank you.

Someone has a visa that is due to expire in August and the passport will expire in July. If the passport is renewed, is there any need to get a revalidation of the visa form the UK high commission?
The plan is to renew the passport in the coming weeks.

I used binance p2p to sell my USDT today. I felt good beating the CBN. If you have an emergency and need to send money to Nigeria, the CBN expects you to send it in dollars -even if the person has no dollar account. God help you if it's on a weekend like in my case. I had to improvise.

Lol, welcome! Please read backwards, there’s invaluable info in this thread courtesy some amazing godfathers and godmothers.

I am not into civil engineering projects but I know OGC/Prince2 and PMI are pushing the Agile narrative with full force.

Exactly, so why will I go for agile certification?

wonlasewonimi:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_construction

Traditional methods of Project Management is wasteful and expensive.

Perhaps for IT projects but for construction and engineering, it is not else you would have seen loads of jobs requiring it. If you go agile, you will just give the contractor the opportunity to milk you dry. During tough times, engineering firms sometimes under bid for work so as to get it and then try to recover cost when the client starts making changes and adding features.
