(The original post have been modified in this regard). I have reported to SON, ICPC and EFCC

1srPrince:
This is to report one of several cases of illegal substandard cables counterfeiting, after successfully trying to get Nigeria Police and SON to arrest this menace.

1srPrince:
ATTENTION: Joseph I. Odumodu

Dear SON,

There is perception that The Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) is not doing anything to curb the proliferation of fake goods especially electrical items and that the DG of SON, Dr. Joseph Odumodu, is only paying lip service to fight against fake goods in the country.
Despite several report in writing, by e-mail and/or through their website; they have fail to investigate any of the reports since 2014. Hence, the importation and selling counterfeit electrical product is on the rise.

This is the impression I sought to correct with this communication. My aim is to clearly correct this wrong impression that Dr. Joseph Odumodu is supporting corruption being perpetrated by his kinsmen in this regard. He should rise up and do the right thing

The greatest challenge to citizen giving info is the fear of reprisal attack and even assassination by the fake goods baron when the SON relay info to the criminal of the identity of the whistle-blower. Hence the influx of fake product into the market. Next time you buy Electrical product you might be purchasing one of these fake items.

Take for example an often reported case since 2014 of electrical wire counterfeiter in Abuja. Yet no action has been taken.

Block E, Moonwalk Estate (Century 21 Estate , located opposite Metro College and Stamford Hotel), FCDA Quarters, Kubwa, Abuja

They bring in substandard electric cable in trailer load in the night and use the advantage of a nondescript residential area as cover to carry out their nefarious activity. They resize the cable and repackage them, using the original cable wrap of electrical cable manufacturers like NOCACO, Cutix, NIWIL etc before dumping them in the local Nigerian market; hence the increasing difficulty of the undiscerning masses to differentiate the the real from the fake, resulting in fire incidence on building via electrical fault and its attendant loss of lives and properties.


Your compatriot,
Prince
Abuja

Hello Joblanders,

It has become pertinent for me to also share my story here, in order to get one or two piece of relevant advice from a better experienced NLander.
Sometime in August last year, I was invited for an interview by Serve Consulting in NLNG for the position of a Project Administrator. I prepared and all, during the short notice. A friend had submitted my CV as the opening was an in-house thing for their Port Harcourt operations.
I met with the interviewers - a man and a woman - after waiting for over an hour. After the usuals of introductions I realised it was just a brief interview as no special skills were needed and from the visitors log, I realised I and someone else I didn't meet were scheduled for an interview that day although the time was different...hours apart. I was interviewed and it went well. They asked If I had any questions on which I answered no, citing that my questions are basically things I'll find out on the job. They told me they will get back to me, as it was supposed to be a year project but up until now no word from them. I've sent mails without a reasonable response until one of the interviewers replied saying the position has been filled. The friend who submitted the CV said I shouldn't bother about them so I suspected some shaddy dealings.
Abeg my people wetin una feel say really happen?

4llerbuntu:
Contrary to what has been said i do honestly believe this is an extortion scheme.



@ lincolnpix,

1. please post where exactly in that contract it is stipulated that you will get periodic fees.

2. You 'licensed' it to them for a one off fee by agreeing to build the website using those codes. A license does not mean that you are entitled to withold access to it permanently except where expressly stated.

where does it state that they cannot have access to their property.

YOU ARE AWARE THAT THE WEBSITE AND EVERYTHING THAT ARE ITS COMPONENTS BELONG TO THE PERSON WHO COMMISSIONED AND PAID FOR IT?[size=18pt][/size]

3. Are your codes registered under any license? Or you simply assume that having created it, it belongs to you without more?

4. Do you have any legal documentation to back up your ownership of that code or you simply assume that its only your brain and hands that is capable of producing that in the entire world?

5. what are the sources you used to produce this supernatural code?

are you compliant with the licenses of the things you have used to produce the website?

are you not charging for things covered by open-source licenses that do not permit you to profit from their use?


6. Where in your agreement does it state that you have the right to deny the owner of the website access to his hosting/cpanel?

what you are doing is equal to BMW not allowing a car owner access to open the bonnet of the car because it does not want them to see the design of the radiator.


BEST CASE SCENARIO IS THAT YOU REMOVE YOUR CODE AND DELIVER THE FULLY FUNCTIONAL WEBSITE WITHOUT THOSE CODES. The client never contracted with you for those specific codes. you can as well build the website without those codes. YOU HAVE NOT EVEN FULFILLED YOUR DELIVERABLES



@ Subset, find yourself a good lawyer who knows his way around IT/IP/sofware matters and sue this asshole. You have numerous claims against this fellow, for instance he has not even delivered what you asked for (the website is not even complete yet).
Like i said, he should deliver your fully functional website (and hosting details etc). its not your business if he has put american nuclear codes in it. He was employed as a professional and it was entirely up to him to decide how best to deliver the website. he chose to use those codes not you.

Brothers and Sisters in the house I greet una ooo.. Abeg We the Association of WannaHustleAbroad(WHA) will love to get advice from those that immigrated legally to hustle. We need your advice on the best way to apply for visa, accomodation and other requisite to enter these countries..

For every action they said is of equal reaction. It is no news that the male students of UNN are maltreated in terms of water and light provision in fact we are not even considered since our hostel is far from the lecture halls. If the meet the needs of the female then everything is alright, as a first year student of the university I suffered during the first semester for lack of water.
You are free to doubt but I personally have been in a queue for more than four hours just to fetch water(female hostels have water even water suppliers supplement their reservoir)
After the Christmas break water issue seems to have been addressed[water doesn't rush all the time but for some hours which we don't complain about were the reverse is the case for females). what led the protest which claimed 2 lives of UNN students was the back out in the male hostels you will here statement like "light dey up school Eni-njoku una go gree" were as females and all other parts of the university community enjoys constant electricity. We all read different accounts of the story, but everything has been addressed since the needed violence to do the needful. When I came back last week Wednesday we enjoyed constant electricity of over 40hrs which they took on friday .
It was learnt that light was up school during the whole Friday guys began to complain of light being up school but it has been fixed on Monday which is yesterday around 5pm till now no seizure.
Pictures below don't mind the resolution

Hello everyone,

Please I need your advise. I'm at wits end as to how to successfully combine my career as a banker, which takes almost all of my time, with pursuit of a master's degree.


I am 27, a graduate of Anatomy, 2.2 from a Federal University, with about 2 years banking experience. I recently got promoted to the level of an Assistant Banking Officer (ABO) in one of the top Banks in the country. Take home pay is about 330k/month so I'm fairly comfortable. I'm still single and ain't looking to marry within the next two-three years so I believe I have time to wrap up my masters degree before taking the big step.


I'm looking to further my education, concurrently with my work, no passion for the sciences anymore, so I'm looking at an MBA. I've heard a lot of talk about online programs but I've come to realise they are either overly expensive or the cheap ones have little or no recognition in the labour market. I've tried the distance learning in one of the universities in the southeast but couldn't keep up due to time constraint, had to drop out cuz I missed a couple of tests and exams. I've also considered the National Open Uni but honestly speaking, I'd rather pursue my dreams at an institution with more pedigree (no offense intended).


Pls, I'd appreciate if there are any MBA programs that are cheap and flexible for working class individuals like myself based in Abuja who have a tight schedule. Thanks everyone.

President Buhari' wife 'Aisha Buhari' New Official portrait.

So I was just wondering why our first lady changed her portrait every week, perhaps its because of the ₤34,500 wrist watch?. See the new portrait and old one below..

What is this?
Surely the people, just like the government, also have a responsibility.

People will be shouting APC APC APC Yoruba Yoruba Yoruba while sloshing through this just to look for a job to feed their hopeless children. I'm an Igbo man and I hate what Rochas Okorocha is reducing Imo to. Under Sam Mbakwe, Imo build it's own airport with 0 federal assistance or money and local engineers and architects. Today we stand toe to toe with Osun and Zamafara to beg for money from a cattle rearer with no education!

powerfulsettingz:
Don't be rude pls, I understand u ladies get boiled up to any case of rape, but the guy might just be right, why would she visit sm1 u rejected to date every day, majorly early in the morning, I smell lies in her story, its not pure rape, am sure she's always going there to have konji, but I guess this time the frnds wanted a share, which made her vex.

Mogidi:
We will continue to reap rewards from GEJ's Transformation for the next 10yrs.

Buhari dare not claim this as his achievement else the thunder that will strike him is busy eating pounded yam and awaiting instructions.

Campbell said that Western observers had "way overstated" the territorial gains by Nigerian and Chadian forces that dislodged Boko Haram from small towns it had overrun in the spring.

desoul:
l have a friend who recently did his traditional marriage..he has been dating this girl for two years but never had sex with her hoping that it will be new and more romantic after their wedding..

According to him he promised himself that he will never make love to the girl until after their wedding,but one day in his house the girl asked him why he doesn't want to take her virginity but the guy pretended as if he did not hear her and she repeat the question again, at this time the guy turned and asked her why she is asking him that kind of question and the girl said she is a virgin and the guy was happy because the babe has made his promise easy.

He cancelled and told the girl that they should wait after their marriage so that they will go abroad for their honey moon..but after the traditional marriage the girl could not hold on...she pleaded with the guy to make love to her hence they have finished their traditional marriage.."to his greatness surprise the gate to the hinduedum was wide open without paddocks."

Behold she is not a virgin..when he asked her,she said that her first boyfriend forced his self on her...but since them she has not meet any other man..but the issue is that the guy never asked her about her virginity rather she said it her self were as she knows it is a lie..

Please should he go ahead with wedding plans or should he quit because he is finding it difficult to trust the girl.matured comments pls.

sweet2blv:
please house, i will like to know the tuition fees for dft skus in abroad(phd in management or msc in offshore) your sincere response will be appreciated

1. There are no Jobs
It is the dream of everyone going to study abroad to get to practice their skills in the environment where they have learned them. Unfortunately, however, for migrants coming to study in the UK, the chances of getting a job after completion of their study are very slim and there a few reasons for this. But most importantly is that there are simply no Jobs. The UK has an unemployment rate of about 6% and there are about 1 million UK citizens receiving job seekers allowance. So you see, jobs are difficult to come by.

2. Immigration Rules
The immigration rules in the UK are quite complex and sometimes even officials in the universities do not understand many of these rules as it is none of their business. The UK immigration system has been deliberately designed to deter migrants from coming into the country. Unlike in the past, the Tier 4 student Visa does not have enough time allowance for foreign students to apply for Jobs and attend interviews after the completion of their study. You would usually on get between 2-4 months to stay after handing-in you dissertation. This is usually not enough time. In addition, to be eligible for a job interview, the company must ensure that there is no suitable UK citizen for that job. This is almost always impossible except for few fields such as medicine and nursing.

3. Excessive Visa application fees and expensive tuition
Applying for a Tier 4 student Visa could be a nightmare. At present, it costs £322 (NGN 100000). This is excluding costs associated with planning, consulting and logistics. In addition, you have to have a “maintenance fund” in your bank account for 28 consecutive days at least 31 days before your Visa application. This includes a full year tuition fee which could be about £12000 (NGN 3.6 Million) and living expenses of about £10000 (NGN 3 Million). These are definitely not easy to come by, even by well to do UK Citizens. More recently, there has also been an addition of a “Health Surcharge” of about £150 pound (NGN 50000) a year and you don’t get a refund if during the year you do not use the health system.
In terms of Tuition fees, the average tuition fee for a non-UK citizen for most one-year courses is about £12000 (NGN 3.6 Million) which is about twice the amount a UK citizen pays for the same course.

4. Discrimination
Although not overt, there is a subtle but palpable air of discrimination towards immigrants in the UK, more so in recent years where many people face financial hardships. Many UK citizens have been made to believe that immigrants are the cause of their difficulties, however many independent studies would disprove this. The truth however remains that many Britons would prefer that you stay back in your home country.

5. It is not worth the hassle
Considering the financial implications, job prospects and the shock associated with relocating, it is only wise to think and think again before taking that step towards coming to the UK to study. Even UK citizens with all the benefits they have being citizens do not find it easy coping with their own system.
UK universities make money off immigrants hence the widespread media campaigns and open days, however they do not influence policies in a positive way so as to make it a wise investment for young people hoping to break new ground. Therefore, before you take that step, think, “Would I be better-off investing the money and resources in other more fruitful ventures?”
This is not to discourage you. Many people come to the UK and settle in nicely, but you must weigh the pros against the cons before you take your decisions.
