Nice, I also had offers to Concordia university in alberta and humber college, thank God I was patient .
Schooling is never the same as working you paying money and not earning also the job opportunities are not amazing.

Being optimistic and doing a good research plus good packaging and networking is the key , was talking to an older friend yesterday who went to work, yesterday even thou its public holiday , a contract job in IT he was like missing work is like 500$ per day.

So yes be optimistic but do u self research, its very easy . I got a job in less than one month and had over 6 phone calls as in contacts, thou some said know cos the position was really high all those Deloitte, Accenture looking for 10 years experience i still applied and gave it a shot...like withing three days got a call about an offer in Montreal but they did not go further cos of french

..summary lots of opportunities depending on your field.

Except graduate entry level job, your GP does not matter if you have work experience.

Except may be some specific jobs like google requiring P.HD or M.Sc , 90 percent of IT jobs just want any degree, people just do m.sc and co for immigration purposes. Your Experience is the key. And don't sell your self short

Hi Fussion,
you mentioned some important points.
Can you please drop some networking and "packaging" tips here?
Five years ago I undersold myself and today I am still paying for it but that will change in a few months. It is very important not to undersell your skills but I didn't value the skills I acquired while I was in Nigeria.

I am in the Europe and not Canada.

It's evident that you can't see beyond your nose. May brain fall on you!

Al you have to do to make me "see beyond my nose" is to counter my argument with a superior one, unless you don't have a superior argument.

Ru new in this country?U want them to call it sack?No Dear,that will attract labour law against the University.
D suspension is a soft landing.

I was only going by the content of the letter.
There are many cases of people that were suspended and later recalled. What does their condition of service say about suspension? Some still get paid half their salary until the issue is resolved.

arabbunkum:
The management of Michael Okpara University of Agric, Umudike, Abia State, led by Prof Francis Otunta, has finally issued sack letters to 460 staff of the school who were employed by the immediate past Vice-Chancellor, Prof Hillary Odoh Edeoga.
Prof Edeoga left office on February 29, 2016, believing that his successor, Prof Otunta, would regularize those new staff but as it stands now, that hope has been dashed as Prof Otunta only succeded in showing them the way out.
This has created palpable tension and sadness in the university as most staff lost either a friend or a relation to the infamous decision.
The affected staff were asked, through a letter dated June 28, 2017 and signed by the Registrar, to hand in all the school properties in their possession to their respective unit heads. Majority of the affected staff were issued letters to that effect on July 4, 2017.
Recall that the Vice Chancellor, in his acceptance speech after inauguration, vowed 'never to remove food from the mouth of any staff'. Why has he gone against his own words? Your guess is as good as mine.
Attached below is a copy of the letter.

Where is the sack letter? You only uploaded the suspension letter.

Chicken change for a multimillionaire civil servant.

Haba!

Is it a building in FUTO or the entire FUTO that is on fire?

OneHead:
A man, Tope Ayemi has sworn a court affidavit as a proof of evidence he collected the sum of twenty thousand naira to help pull names from party register into the recall register, The Ayetoro man swore in the affidavit that he was invited over by his ward chairman on 8th june to help mobilize signatures of party members aoffering #500 to anyone who agrees to sign.

SOURCE: [url]NAAIJA.COM[/url]

So did he forge the signatures?
If yes, then he should be on his way to jail.
if no, then his allegations should have no effect on the validity of the recall register.

KillerBeauty:
STOP CALLING EVERYONE AN ENTREPRENEUR

We have gotten a bit carried away with the “entrepreneur label” stop it. So many people in Nigeria consider themselves entrepreneur without even knowing what been an entrepreneur entails. In Nigeria, every Wale, Musa and Chidi goes about with the entrepreneur title not knowing that they are small business owners. Entrepreneurship is so much more than having a business.

Too many people confuse entrepreneurs from small business owners. A lot more people are qualified to run a grocery shop than take companies from inception, through market, funding and growth to IPO.

Now you may be asking, "who is an entrepreneur”

An entrepreneur is someone who is motivated to begin a start up. They seek to provide radical solution to huge problems with the use of breakthrough technologies that will make that solution possible. An entrepreneur has an insatiable need for more, more and more. They can’t stop. They are fearless and driven to maximize opportunity. An entrepreneur aims for improvement over what currently exist. They don’t dare to be different, they are different.

A small business owner, on the contrary, build business incrementally, bit by bit. They often solve smaller, localized problems with their business and are not looking to radically move the needle. These people are the broad base of employment in Nigeria. Everywhere you go in every street are littered with small businesses. They cover a lot of surface area but aren’t disrupting the status quo, creating entire new fields, or accelerating an entire market forward.

Small business owner seek lower risk and their goal is sustaining a living for themselves and their employees. Furthermore, their products and services often live in the realm of the known and established. They live and operate in their local community. That local tailor that has been in your street for 20 years is a business owner also that young guy that just opened a barbing salon in your area, that bet 9ja agent and that freelance web designer are all small business owners not entrepreneurs.

When we talk of entrepreneurs, we need to mention those people who discovered a new world, who aim for improvement in fields and business ideas that already exist, who provided radical solutions to problems that we never thought possible. People like Aliko Dangote who gave us a FCMG company we can be proud of, Linda Ikeji who open our eyes to what blogging is, CEO’s of Konga and Jumia who introduced the E-commerce gig to us, our very own Seun Osewa of Nairaland and Mike Adenuga who without him we wouldn’t have known what per second billing is all about.

These people are true entrepreneurs. Bigger is always better for them and that’s the one facet of their business that has held lasting values with customers through the years.

For the 'ajepakos' like me who cannot afford to fly Business/First Class at least for the time being, I always book my return ticket in the Economy class.

And I wonder what those, the 'ajebutters' who fly Business/First Class normally receive when the curtains are drawn to prevent us in the Economy wing to see them.


Have you flew Business/First Class before? It could be within the country or to other countries. Kindly share your experiences as a first class pax.


Who knows, if the services are really juicy, I may start to save some extra bucks to book a Business/First Class return ticket to a neighboring country during my annual leave.


@ bigtt76, Jazmiynne, amicable09, davide470, justi4jesu, qualified, ishilove

come and share your experiences here. You all fall under the 'ajebutter' class.

Never flown Business class myself but a colleague did (London to Abu Dhabi).
1. He had access to the executive lounge at the airport with free drinks and food plus massage.
2. He was dropped off at the Hotel in Abu Dhabi by a Limousine.
3. More leg room and priority service before boarding, after boarding and when you arrive.
4. In flight food is better than economy (Variety, quantity and quality) - For first class some airlines have a chef onboard who will cook the food for you.
5. More air miles.
6. More baggage allowance
7. etc.

--------------------------------
For first class the benefits are even better than those listed above including shower facilities, bed so you can lie down and other complimentary services.

If I am paying, then Business class will do (can't afford it for now) but won't mind 1st class if my company is paying.

"Magnate" not "magnet"

Any nigeria citizen living pennysylvania usa especially ..lancaster or near..i am new here and i am trying to make new friends and feel at home..lets hook up

You mean you left Nigeria all the way to the US to go and meet Nigerians? Ok, locate the nearest RCCG, winners or Deeperlife church.

No, they settled out of court with Pinnacle.

Bala Mohammed, the former FCT minister? Are they serious at all. If the "youth" can include such a name then we are finished in Nigeria.

donestk:
This is not an attack thread but based on personal experience.

Came across some single moms who do abortion alot.

They kept their first pregnancy to draw public sympathy as "despite all odds, she kept the baby" etc

Subsequently they continue their reckless behavior and keep aborting with justification as "how can I have two kids without marriage" etc

It's really a sad trend.

Are you assuming that they impregnated themselves or were impregnated by "MEN"?. If the latter is true, can we then say that the men are promiscuous?

"Absolve"? Hmmmn, Seun's moderators with their copy and paste mentality.

Where did the story mention "his brother"?
These bloggers and their fake news. Seun and nairaland will not stop promoting them.

I believe the CJN is not clean hence Buhari's hesitation to forward his name for confirmation. But like most things in Nigeria, once you introduce religion or ethnicity, you are likely to succeed.

download white calling app from the play store, load the app and make calls at 6p per minute.

Godswillnwaoma:
let tell ourselves the truth, there are no jobs out there, unemployment is increasing everyday imagine 29,000 people applied for N-POWER job within 3 days.
the only solution to this problem is to become self employed and that is just the way forward.
I.m advising the young graduates to stop looking for white colla job and establish business of their own no matter how small it is and with time and dedication the business will grow. Nigeria is not an industrial country like China where everything consumed are produced by them, but here we import almost everything so where are u going to work. Let us start now and embrace entrepreneurship and erase the old mindset that was inculcate to us by our parents that when u go to school and have a good grade automatically a good job is out there waiting for you,well this was only attainable during the 60s and not now because things has dramatically changed unlike then.
Start up something today and watch yourself smile to the bank.

Keep saying there are no jobs while people are changing jobs every day.

Mr Silent Embezzler.

It's rumoured he has the Minna-Abuja road contract and owns the power distribution company supplying Niger state.

Check all projects executed by him. Very poor. The man like money pass anything. Don't be deceived with the gentle looking face

The damage he was alleged to have done during his 8 or 9 months in power is unrivaled. People who were privileged to go to his soon after he left told stories of an underground car lot filled with brand new cars. No one has investigated him simply because he handed over power to the civilians (similar to what GEJ is enjoying now).

Every women?
And seun's moderator pushed it to FP without correcting it. Nairaland na wah.

.

Thanks, lemme rephrase my question. Not like i don't know abt the school. Just thought someone in the school that could assist clear some doubts and possible make my arrival easier.

Ok, contact the student support center of your school. They may arrange airport pick up for you and give you all the information you need. Ask them if they can arrange a pick up at the airport as that will save you some money. If they can't, they can direct you on the best way to get to the school. I am surprised they are not supporting you already given that you have accepted their offer (I am assuming you have paid your deposit).

Hello House,

I just got admitted into Bournemouth University UK, Can i get anyone in the house who has got information about bournemouth and the University cos i barely know nothing about the place and the school.

Thanks

Why would you apply to a school without knowing anything about the school and town?
Your first point of call will be your university website which will have information for international students. After that you can now search online for more information before you ask specific questions.
Before I arrived for my masters, I knew how to get to my department from the airport. I missed the student pick up and I was able to find my way/bearing using the street signs and building which I had looked online several times using google maps street view. It was as if I had been there before.

Very sad story. I hope they both fully recover from this experience.

Yes you can. I used to take from Oyingbo (near mainland hotel) but not sure if they still leave from there.

PurestBoy:
She actually is and that's why this is news and trending

Well I can't confirm that so I will stick with her own narrative. If she is, then I believe she will be the more than happy to spread the news but instead she said she's the first from the University of Saskatchewa, which I believe.

PurestBoy:
Don't say what you don't know . . She's in Saskatoon in Canada and a childhood friend. We talk daily

If she was indeed the first black biomedical PhD in Canada then she'd have said it herself. My point is the OP misrepresented her message.

In Canada? Nairaland can lie oh. Even the lady didn't make such claim.
Seun your misinformation crew are at it again.

My name is Dr. Adeola D. Olubamiji and I’m the first black person to have received a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada (5th of June, 2017).

Germany,Canada or Austria, the kinda of Visa that relocates one...LOL

Vist the Canada EE and Australia skilled visa threads here. They have more than sufficient information on how to go about it.
