I would never advocate anything that would put you on the wrong side of the law. That's tantamount to allowing a sinking man to drag you into the pit.
I'm talking of people who genuinely want to find their feet and make an honest living

I try to support people with legitimate intentions as much as I can.

Food is ready.

[quote author=RedCapChief post=31243249][/quote]As much as I like helping people, I will not knowingly help an illegal immigrant to either find work or accommodation as it is against the law. I can assist with money either to buy food or ticket back home. You don't ruin your life/career/good name just because you want to "help" someone.

Your topic is misleading, she was not trying to buy hyde park.

Copy and paste moderator - to moderate means to review or examine. Seun, if you are paying your moderators, I think you should reduce their pay because they are doing their jobs properly. This topic is misleading and a few seconds spent "moderating" would have picked this up.

9. Nupe Nation
The Nupes occupy Kwara and Niger State in North-Central Nigeria. They are reclusive and quiet in nature. The Nupes are headed over by the Etsu Nupe. Nupes are communal in nature and they enjoy pastoral and simple life. Most Nupe people are farmers. Nupes also has a strong and deeply woven system of traditional thought that guides their day-to-day life.

That is not how Nupe people dress, the picture you uploaded looks like that of palace guards which is not peculiar to the Nupe people.

will the senate confirm it tonight? Will PMB name them afterwards this 30th September?

Learning is allowed, but you must be humble to learn. Because I can't force it on you.

What did he promise to do before the end of september? if you have a problem with comprehension, I am certainly not responsible.

dougivilla:
Stop being economical with the truth. He said he will name his ministers before sept 30th.

Portfolios are only assigned after screening and confirmation by senate; so where does that leave your tissue of lies?

http://leadership.ng/news/459378/i-will-name-my-ministers-before-sept-30-pmb

Has he failed to name his ministers before the end of September?

eagleeye2:
He said he will appoint them by September. That means that they must already have been screened by the Senate.
But we are here talking about sending of list.

Appointment is different from screening. The president appoints while the Senate confirms the appointment.

How can you arrest someone before conducting your investigation? So if I go to the police and complain that the wife of the governor made a libelous statement against me, will they arrest her?

Pls Nairalanders help!!

I met this beautiful damsel while serving(NYSC) in Imo State in 2013. She accepted to date me on one condition (NO SEX before marriage). I gladly accepted. Our love was a major gist in town because she is a beauty queen. I so much loved her with all my heart..She was a virgin and I so much respected her for that...I spent 75% of my allowee on her in addition with my personal savings...

On several ocassions, she lost control of herself during romance but as a gentleman, I kept my promise by not harvesting the forbidden fruit.. Her love for me grew stronger because of my self control. After NYSC, I relocated to Lagos in search of greener pasture. Things got tougher because jobs were extremely scarce. Still,I struggled to send her some money through her father's first bank account (she was 18yrs then).

Once in a month, I travelled from Lagos to Owerri just to see her....Our love was so strong..But since inception of this year, things got pretty bad that I could not meet up with my routine travels to see her. After 3yrs, I got a job few days ago in an oil company and I was so enthusiastic to relay the good news to her....But to my greatest shock ever...She sent me an apology sms that she will be getting married next week...I was preparing for sunday service but the news automatically made me fell asleep. I just woke up and feeling abnormal...She is calling but I can't imagine myself taking the calls...Pls I need your pool of unalloyed advice...

Pls save a soul today and God will bless you..Thanks

Are you suggesting that because it was a "no sex" relationship she should marry you? Or of what importance is the "no sex" part to your current predicament? The earlier you move on the better for you. God may have something better waiting for you.

News broke yesterday that the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has finally tied the knot with his rumoured 18 year old heartthrob, Sa’adatu Barkindo-Musdafa, the daughter of the Lamido of Adamawa, Muhammadu Barkindo-Musdafa. The 18-year old becomes the emir’s fourth wife. She recently completed secondary school and is been enrolled for advanced level studies.

Shortly after the news broke, Nigerians took to Twitter to air their unhappiness that the Emir could marry someone that young. Their reactions are below. Do you think the Emir did something 'wrong'?

http://www.lailasblog.com/2015/09/childnotbride-trends-on-twitter-after.html

An 18 year old is not a child but a woman. I may not agree with HRH Sanusi for marrying an 18 year old but he certainly didn't marry a minor.

bossto:
I have an accent that has been discouraging me to the extent that i'm too shy to speak in the public.

For instance,"light and night" sound alike to me, I mean i can't differentiate them perfectly, but whenever I converse with my friends or put those aforementioned words in sentences, they (my friends) do not correct me...But I always doubt if I had pronounced them correctly.

Other words I have problem in differentiating are: snap/slap, lame/name. Though no one has corrected me on these.

So the main issue here is "IS THERE MUCH DIFFERENCE IN THEIR SOUNDS?
Pls be honest!!

Everybody has an accent. You can work on your diction so that people will understand you easily. Get videos on youtube and practice regularly.

pansophist:
In the lexicon of human migration there are still hierarchical words, created with the purpose of putting white people above everyone else. One of those remnants is the word “expat”

What is an expat? And who is an expat? According to Wikipedia, “an expatriate (often shortened to expat) is a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country other than that of the person’s upbringing. The word comes from the Latin terms ex (‘out of’) and patria (‘country, fatherland’)”.

Defined that way, you should expect that any person going to work outside of his or her country for a period of time would be an expat, regardless of his skin colour or country. But that is not the case in reality; expat is a term reserved exclusively for western white people going to work abroad.

Africans are immigrants. Arabs are immigrants. Asians are immigrants. However, Europeans are expats because they can’t be at the same level as other ethnicities. They are superior. Immigrants is a term set aside for ‘inferior races’.

Don’t take my word for it. The Wall Street Journal, the leading financial information magazine in the world, has a blog dedicated to the life of expats and recently they featured a story ‘Who is an expat, anyway?’. Here are the main conclusions: “Some arrivals are described as expats; others as immigrants; and some simply as migrants. It depends on social class, country of origin and economic status. It’s strange to hear some people in Hong Kong described as expats, but not others. Anyone with roots in a western country is considered an expat … Filipino domestic helpers are just guests, even if they’ve been here for decades. Mandarin-speaking mainland Chinese are rarely regarded as expats … It’s a double standard woven into official policy.”

The reality is the same in Africa and Europe. Top African professionals going to work in Europe are not considered expats. They are immigrants. Period. “I work for multinational organisations both in the private and public sectors. And being black or coloured doesn’t gain me the term “expat”. I’m a highly qualified immigrant, as they call me, to be politically correct,” says an African migrant worker.

Most white people deny that they enjoy the privileges of a racist system. And why not? But our responsibility is to point out and to deny them these privileges, directly related to an outdated supremacist ideology. If you see those “expats” in Africa, call them immigrants like everyone else. If that hurts their white superiority, they can jump in the air and stay there. The political deconstruction of this outdated worldview must continue.

http://www.theguardian.com/global-development-professionals-network/2015/mar/13/white-people-expats-immigrants-migration?CMP=fb_gu

While I largely agree with you, please note that most of the Africans moving to Europe or the west to work are not only there to work but to live there permanently or to obtain citizenship of those countries. That makes them immigrants. On the other hand most westerner that work in say Nigeria do not necessarily want to take up Nigerian Citizenship.
For those that are on intercompany transfer or pure there to work for a short period of time, I see no reason why they should be referred to as immigrants even though that is often the case.

I'm told I can skip Masters and do Ph.D directly with my kind of result. That it is for people that have from 4.00 and above in their First Degree. Can someone please verify this. I have B.Eng with 4.40 in Chemical Engineering

Very possible but usually first class graduates from reputable universities. I had a couple of school mates/ course mates that are doing it. You can also search for MPhil degrees which may lead the award of PhD if you spend an additional year.

Which kind of dumb people run nairaland these days?

Dear NLers



How do I get to know all these about him, have starved myself enough of sex to please God, and to be a good girl my mother asked me to be and cannot "CANNOT" and will not be able to stand a slow or bad sex experiences in marriage, the thought of this is driving me crazy

“But even though Paul had treated me so badly, I was still in love with him. I couldn’t see myself growing old with anyone else. I had a gut feeling all wasn’t as it seemed with Kristen.

“She used several different numbers to contact Paul and when he asked her about the money she was due to come into, she insisted it was tied up in the shares of a [size=18pt]Nigerian company[/size]. It was all a bit suspicious.

Anybody can say that, are you aware that scammers from other African countries claim to Nigerians? in any case, that alone does not prove that the alleged scammer is a Nigerian so the topic of this thread is misleading.

I couldn't find where it says the scammer is a Nigerian.

Aus! Would dese immigration guys accept 3cartons of noodles, 4 ziplocks of beans 2 ziplocks of garri 5kg of semo 3 small pieces of poundo yam, frozen palmoil and a paint of yam flour?

I doubt they will allow you especially the palm oil. You can carry small quantity of some of those items as you can find all of them in the UK. The airport charges you may pay in Nigeria may not make it cheaper than buying here not minding the extra weight. Trust me you always want to travel light.

Excellent!

My brother..Federal Goverment is better...You will be promoted as long as you update your CV and think of gratuity when you retire and this does not mean that you wont have other things you would have been doing prior to getting to about level 14 or more...

Nigeria is getting better so the retirement payments from federal goverment work would be paid promptly also...

Government my man.

Please explain the bold part. I thought the government has stopped that since the pension reforms some years ago?

The Niger Delta ministry officers listed in the document are Poloma Kabiru Nuhu, Mangset Longyl Dickson and Daniel Obah.

I served together with this guy in 2004. The last time I saw him was in 2013 in Abuja, he told me he was with the Niger delta ministry and gave me his business card (which I had to Crosscheck to be sure he's the one). These allegations are weighty especially for a young man in his 30's.
