Was in the bulk room of a first generation bank and crowd was quite bad ( yet they say no money ).There were some igbo men that had come to deposit quite an amount of money and had been conversing loudly in their dialect not caring that they were been a nuisance.
All of a sudden a white man comes in and the teller receives his cash whilst ignoring the hisses and insults of customers.

The igbo men, trust them started insulting the man and went ahead to add more in their dialect,the white man then,calmly turnsto them and responded to them in IGBO language then went on to add a few more sentences... the whole bulk room kept shut out of shock of course.I turned to him in amazement to ask him on how he learnt igbo and he smiled and responded to me fluently in HAUSA.

Apparently, he had been there before every one else but the account number was wrong and he was told he couldnt make calls in the banking hall, he then went out to make a call and wait for the right account number.On his return,hE went straight to the teller as she had assured him that when he returned ,he wouldnt have to join the queue again.The teller should have explained to all instead of ignoring customers.

Any way my point is that these white men are smatter than us, they learn our languages so as to enable themselves settle in and do business whilst most of us go to their countries and come back the same people we were when we left if not worse.

No offence.try get VISA make U travel small and get expirience

Hi everyone, thank God for a thread like this. Please advice me. I bought a 2003 clk 2 door Benz from a friend. He wanted to upgrade so I seized the opportunity. We worked in the same office so I knew that the car was okay cos he was always driving it to work. At the beginning the car was fine but after parking it for like 3 months ( although I warm the engine daily and drive it within the area) the car developed issues. When I try accelerating whether am in motion or at a spot the car sounds like it's struggling then the engine cuts off or it becomes so slow no matter how much the press down. Sometimes when I restart the car it acts fine for another 30 minutes then starts acting up again. To cut the long story short 3 mechanics one of which was the mechanic working with the car from day one, three filter and pump changes, change of plugs (4 plug engine), ejector cleaning etc the problem persist. The annoying thing is the car will perform okay for about 2 weeks then the problem starts again. The fuel Guage has issues as it does not give a correct reading but I don't think this is the cause. Anyone with experience please help. Am already thinking of selling it again less than 6 months after purchase.

Go and scan ur car and come back with the codes, its would be a quick and easy fix

Some poo from Julius Berger one stupid company that u have to bring letter of recommendation from a serving senator or Governor Before u can be accepted for industrial Training or NYSC.

Let me attempt to change ur frame of mind, you know 12 years ago,I wanted to learn first hand (mechanic) mind I I had a 1st degree in mech Engin from ESUT.The garage I went to was i n finchley road Camden(london).I wanted to attend on saturday only.I have to go fru more than what you where requested by JB to bring.I have to be insured by the govt.The govt have to pay the garage to train me.There was loads of other stuff demanded, at teh end I could not meet up.As u can see, we tend to take things 4 granted in Nigeria, check if U had to pay JB to learn from them

onatisi:
so what is the difference? Either way government is involved . The point is to get the nation youth trained and skilled

the difference is not to make baseless declaration and laws, foreign skil encourages innovation.

onatisi:
I have been saying it that even the nysc should be fashioned in such a way that graduates will learn a vocational skill and use it in the various states they are posted . This will reduce unemployment,take for example during theb1month orientation camp,corpers do virtually nothing except marching,this period should be used to do a crash programe in various vocational skills for graduates and they should be attached to ppl within those communities who will help polish this skills by the time corpers finish their 1 year programme they are already fully equipped to be self reliant or gainfully employed

And govt should pay for this training.

onatisi:
This is a very very good move if only Baba go slow can implement it. It will reduce capital flight from our economy,it Will upgrade the quality of professionals in the building industry because youths will be better trained and it will reduce unemployment because youths will have the required skill to be gainfully employed or self reliant. And lastly it will reduce the occurrences of building collapse in the nation because the quality of job done will increase

No disrespect but this is pry school economics you just quoted,lets do a bit of research, tell me one country you k now in the west where the govt drives the labour force.In my ow n view the biggest employers of labour in teh west is not the Gov but the private sector,what our govt should be doing is empowering existing companies to train our youths,The Uk govt pays the private sectors for youth empowerment training ie, they pay for apprenticeship plus insurance.What this mean is the FG would Pay the welder in your street to train your cozen who went to the technical school.If that makes any sense to you.

bashydemy:
Are you alright Agidi? So you mean foreign should be working why the youth of Nigeria remain unemploy?

AN economy only thrive when there is competition in its labour market.Limiting oneself to the labour force of one's country leads to stagnation.

Acjohn:
Nobody is talking of the staff welfare, the way they pack Nigerians in containers like sardines after making some of them go to work as early as 4am to come back 8pm. How some of the workers remain casual staff for more than two years and discharged without benefits. How they stop Nigerians from going into some restaurants that are exclusive for the whites.
In fact I heard of a case in the south south where a white man unleashed a dog on a black man because he got close to one of the restaurant.
In their country they treat us like animals in our country they treat us like slaves, who is to talk to them?
I heard some of the Nigerians that had worked in the company for upwards of twenty years are scared of being admitted in their hospital for the fear of being murdered. That is the situation our fellow country men face under these whites that steals our resources during construction and expect gratitude from us for paying Nigerians far less than what an average person earns in their country. It high time we start placing these red heads where they belong.

Guy U dull,
That moment you enter malaysia and call the people there whites

Foundation done, concrete blinding and column bases all competed.

quick question for you on these starter bars, how many did I full length of y16 produce?

omusiliyu:
They always display their stupidity outside the country.

The pictures and video clip were taken by his fellow Nigerian.

B4 U hate.have you stopped to think 4 once if it was a publicity stunt? ?

karama22:
do u ve any1 around u with system dat can do it. giv me ur contact I will meet u. thanks

Sorry my friend, I live very far from you, but there are guys on here who have good scanners, just look fru pages on here.

karama22:
Morning, I was I cotonou yesterday. we couldn't see any code rather the check engine light wiped out? The acceleration is my problem. kindly help. ve change the ejector mouth n still.

stop throwing parts at it, bear i n mind, this is not a mechanical problem but an electrical problem, you need to scan your car to pull out the codes, if you do not do this then you are throwing money down the Bin, however if your OBD11 had been tempered with or your vehicle had been rewired then good luck.

They tend to become eye sore with mould and algae growth over time.

A big no no, no one should ever try it,you will live to regret it.

bidexmimi:
Why should we bother ourselves on 5000 naira promise..If they eventually decide to pay the 5k, do you think it would help the unemployed in anyway.. of what use is 5k monthly when some of your mates are earning 200k and above monthly..

We need to wake up and demand for skill acquisition schemes and Jobs..we don't want 5k...5k can't make some ladies hair, some of us spend more dan 5k daily..Will 5k feed you for a month?
Let's fight for Jobs and reduce unemployment not 5k.
Nigerian youth should be thinking of the nation's progress,we don't have to be political in all our thinking. Just my thought.

This is not the issue, Y do nt you guys see the truth and say it 4 once,This money is to help towards one who is jobless and help them on simple things in life, ie T fare for Interviews, ofcos it wont feed you or pay your rent, its a sum of money to alleviate some simple stress.The Uk have waht they call Job seekers allowance, the USA have theirs so those the rest of teh western world.We may not be rich but if a potential leader promises it and got into power and try to dodge this responsibilities.Let them explain why they said and and cannot do the needful, for all its worth.they should do their research B4 promising.

spyder880:
Good observations bro, but its not a typo. When we started making the blocks, (about 5 months ago), cement was selling for about N1750 on the average then. But now the price has reduced to N1400 in that location. You are very attentive.

Im a good student, and Also Im the monitor of this class, Noise makers take note.

Whenever u see a black dating a white,
Check it well, the lady wont be fine.
This one sef try

nah lie big time, waht a negative thought.

spyder880:
Foundation excavations has started, work is ongoing.

Oga Spider, I notice on the first list, you said Bag of cement was N1750 and on the 2nd list you quoted a bag being N1400, is this the case or a typo

NL1960:
Congrats and well done.

This is expected in the rural areas. That is why the best time to build in the rural areas is during the dry season especially January-March. Labour also tends to be cheap during this period as the workers have not started serious farming.

Bros,
Not always the case, Im in teh city PHC the rains are not making boys smile Ooo,can U imagine transfering 30 tones of granite a mile away . or using N12K to transfer a trip of sand that cost N28K

Aufbauh:
This is one of the reasons i have not taken the opposition party PDP seriously.
Most of the economic backslashes we are experiencing now was inherited. The opposition will be quick to point out how bad our economy has degenerated forgetting that some of us are more intelligent and reasonable to know that the economy of a nation does not start crashing in a matter of months. It is a build up of failed policies and programmes cluelessly initiated or poorly implemented.
They're always quick to point to the positives of this present administration as a programme conceived and initiated by the GEJ but will distance themselves from the mess they created. What a hypocrisy!
Nigerians have no option than to wait patiently for PMB led administration as he clean the aurgen table left behind by the crooked and perversed government of GEJ.
To set the record straight, more than 50%of this debt was carried over from the previous government making the present administration to start from an indebted position.

You sound very intelligent but that's for those who have no clue. Did you bother to know what this debt was?do U think it's money owed for good suplied? ?.This said debt is not far frm diff in dollar cost.and more to it plus black paper receipt

OnReflection:
Why don't you acquaint yourself with how the legal system works, instead of misinforming others like yourself.

U took what I was saying out of context,what you quoted has no bearing on the said person, the Authorities never said she was arrested, infact they declined to name whom was arrested more so, the UK papers where quoting reports made by a Nigerian paper, read again



The reason for the arrests by the recently formed International Corruption Unit (ICU) was not disclosed by the NCA, which has also declined to name those who were brought in for questioning and then released on police bail. None of those arrested have been charged but it is understood investigations continue both within Britain and abroad.

adeekiti:
It's not even about the quality of materials but about the foreign modern ways of Aluminium fabrication and designs, the comments were based on leaving the familiar nigerian designs and moving to the foreign styles which the cost is different from what we are familiar with in Nigeria, clients are in different categories, the ones who are ready to spend any amount to get a different designs(foreign designs)c talking about materials here , as for me I don't use low standard materials for my clients , there are good materials in the markets, nigalex, tower Eco, thick imported,tower standard which can always work at different rates, my clients will choose from any of these..there is no hidden secret abt my services and as u said honesty is what is required but it's so surprising that the way a lot of people package their services will make u trust them than the ones who even offer good services but yet nigerians prefer packaged services.

Let me try and understand you,you want to do a window frame with ali,Nigerian one done with 5 tone of Ali, and the UK one is also done with 5tone ali same material diff design, the UK o ne cost more than the Nigerian one right, what's the diff?craftsmanship?Labour or design

Lexusgs430:
The documents you need to produce, are not the main ones (employed or not) !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Burden of documents, is more for your wife to worry.
(1) She needs to be earning close to £19,000 per year
(2) Submit six months pay slips and bank statements
(3) Rental agreement or Mortgage deed
(4) Communication evidence between both applicants(applies to both of you)
If all this documents are to hand, the others are minor !!!

Let me also add £19k is not big money as such, this is pre tax, so if she earns £1100 after tax then she is more tha qualified,you also need
Child's Birth cert
Marriage cert
photos (they help)

odiereke:

The lattest way of stacking cement in Naija .Let us be on the look out cos the level of insincerity in our land is alarming .the little trick some cement suppliers use when you assk them to supply cement. From the pix you will notice that underneath the middle stack is completely empty,two pieces of wood will be dropped in between to act as support before placing the last bag ontop.God help us

And you wonder why they do not progress,

adeekiti:
I was with a client yesterday and she has a budget which is very low compare to her taste but she knows her taste is higher than what she can offer, I will be installing her sliding dis weekend.. That's because the big clients have their own taste and budget different from other people

Good this is the point people borrow money to complete or U grant credit facilities at interest.

adeekiti:
Sir , we can only offer what our customers want, we are only giving out what our customers wants according to their budgets

Let me add here, when you say U only give out waht your customers want, leaves them no choice, why not give them choice ie the good, the bad and the urgly,so if one knowingly buys the cheapest crapest one so be it,you might not know the customers worth, he/she might think what you have is all there is to it in what you sell not knowing there are far more better qualities out there in the product you sell.
The watch word should be Honesty and opness,show all diff brands and quality to your customer let them make the choice according to thier want and pockets+bank size

EFCC is known for their gragra, they will make all the noise but can't successfully bring about the conviction and sentencing of the accused in the law court for lack of evidence.
Nigerians are now immuned to their watery threats.

They wont mention no names so that they could not be taken to court.When you hear stuff like no names then know its fake news.

Today01:
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has seized bullet-proof vehicles, huge cash and jewellery from five prominent Nigerians fingered in the money laundering allegation against former Petroleum Resources Minister, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke.
EFCC and its British counterpart, National Crime Agency (NCA), are probing the suspects for allegedly conniving with Alison-Madueke to commit the crime, it was learnt yesterday.
The former minister was arrested in London on October 2 for alleged money laundering, bribery and corruption.
EFCC has restricted the movement of the ”high-profile” suspects to Nigeria, pending the conclusion of investigation.
Some of them may be extradited to the United Kingdom (UK), if the former minister is going to face trial.
According to investigation, EFCC is still searching the companies and homes of more suspects linked with the former minister, following fresh clues.
Most of the areas under surveillance are in Abuja and Lagos.
A top source said: ‘’It is too early to declare whether they are guilty or not. But in line with international best practices, the EFCC has invoked the assets forfeiture clause in its Act to seize some choice bullet-proof vehicles, huge cash and jewellery from these suspects.
‘’The movement of the affected suspects has also been restricted to Nigeria pending the conclusion of investigation.
‘’The case at hand involves a high-net worth syndicate with tentacles across the strata of the society. But we are already cracking the investigation.’’
Asked if the suspects will be tried in Nigeria, the source added: ‘’It is uncertain or remote because the NCA has initiated a process in the UK, we will not want to duplicate the process.
‘’ If necessary, some of the suspects might be extradited to the UK for trial. This depends on NCA because EFCC is only collaborating with the agency.’’
It was learnt that some NCA officials are in the country to work with EFCC on the case.
A source said: ‘’Some officials of the NCA are in the country for collaboration with the EFCC on this investigation of the allegations against the ex-minister.
‘’The EFCC has more knowledge of the terrain than the NCA in tracking down some of these suspects.’’
Neither the EFCC nor the NCA was willing to speak on record last night.
Alison-Madueke and four others have been under investigation. On October 2, they appeared before the NCA team in the UK.
The names of the four remaining suspects are being kept under wraps in ‘’order not to jeopardise investigation.’’

all this news nor hold water, make the Govt of the day start work jare, campaign is over.

China unveiled its first-ever passenger jet built and designed by the country today.

The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd. (COMAC), which is the state-owned aviation manufacturer, unveiled the first C919 aircraft at its factory in Shanghai, the People's Daily Online reports.

China - the second largest economy in the world - is now seeking the prestige of having its own aviation sector, and to challenge foreign giants Airbus and Boeing for market share.

The single-aisle narrow-body jet is designed to seat 168 passengers, and has a standard flight range of 2,532 miles (4,075 kilometres), which means the aircraft can fly non-stop from Shanghai to Kuala Lumpur or from New York City to Los Angeles.

Its debut is considered by Chinese media as a breakthrough in the history of the country's civil aviation industry as well as the start of a new chapter in China's high-end equipment manufacturing.

Journalists have already compared the brand new aircraft with the famous Boeing 737 and Airbus 320 passenger planes.


A grand ceremony was held in COMAC's brand new factory in Pudong, Shanghai, to celebrate what Chinese experts are calling 'a great moment.'

COMAC chairman Jin Zhuanglong said at the ceremony: 'The roll out of the first C919 aircraft marks a significant milestone in the development of China's first indigenous aircraft.'

The made-in-China aircraft is due to make its maiden flight next year and then begin test flights for about three years before being put into commercial use.

COMAC is yet to release the price tag of the jet, but a report by China National Radio in June predicted that C919 was likely to be priced at £32 million (US$50 million), which was up to 30 per cent cheaper than a Boeing 737 or an Airbus 320.

China Central Television, the country's national TV station, was given special permission to board the first C919 jet at the ceremony and filmed the interiors.

Video footage showed the cockpit was fully equipped and, according to the reporter, its piloting system was more similar to Airbus planes.

The cabin remained largely empty and was padded with a layer of cotton insulation. Four large boxes have been installed in the cabin for collecting data during test flights.

COMAC chairman Jin Zhuanglong said the plane is expected to have its first test flight in 2016, which means it will miss the original deadline of this year.

The China Daily newspaper has reported the first flight could even be put back to 2017.

So far, a total of 517 aircrafts have been ordered by 21 customer's home and abroad.

Speaking in front of an audience of industry and government officials, the country's civil aviation chief Li Jiaxiang said: 'China's air transport industry cannot completely rely on imports. A great nation must have its own large commercial aircraft.'


As well as hundreds of industry experts at the presentation, celebrities where there to show support, including retired Chinese hurdler Liu Xiang.

China has dreamed of building its own civil aircraft since the 1970s when Jiang Qing, leader Mao Zedong's wife and a member of the notorious 'Gang of four' personally backed an attempt to do so.

Y-10, a four-engine passenger jet, started developing in 1970. But due to the project's high financial commitment, the development was halted by the central government in 1986. Only three Y-10s were ever made.


Although the C919 is made in China, foreign firms are playing key roles by supplying systems as well as the engines, which are made by CFM International, a joint venture between General Electric (GE) of the US and France's Safran.

COMAC also plans a wide-body plane, the C929, in cooperation with Russia's United Aircraft Corp.

Speculation is mounting that China will create a new aero-engine entity to try to produce the powerful jets needed for large civil aircraft.

According to Airbus' Global Market Forecast 2015, in the next 20 years, passenger air traffic will grow annually at 4.6 percent driving a need for around 32,600 new passenger and freighter aircrafts.

China will become the leading country for passenger air traffic with its domestic traffic to become the world' s number one within ten years, said the forecast.
