Impressive but they seem not to have a full picture of the main issue!!!

seconded !

Hmmmm, 9ce one but do this people experience the true pics of our problems or they're making jest of us at home ?

greateros:
make i help u ask again cause i see nobody wan ansa!

[size=38pt]IGBO MAN NO DEY NIGERIAN ARMY
[/size]

[size=28pt]Y are there no any igbo name(s) on the emergency number lists??
[/size]

now i understand y igbos are the target! No body in the army to protect us!

what an injustice!

Maka why ? Igbo plenty nah

^^^^ I think you need to question Wole Soyinka who uttered the statement on this palava !

Yet to confirm this but my twitter page is filled up with this breaking news, even read that one Gatelink Filing Station in GRA has been set ablaze !!!

I know he deserve it again , C.Ronaldo stop disturbing yeah self !!!

If only he could fulfill all these, he got a nice write-up here,

GAR3TH:
To answer your question, most likely none. Their are no companies in nigeria that manufacture buses. Yes I know there is innoson but they import their parts from abroad and ASSEMBLE them in nigeria. Which means buying buses from innoson is more expensive than buying from abroad. the second reason why I doubt the buses will be made in nigeria is, Innoson does not have the capabilities to manufacture assemble 1600 buses in such a short period of time.

Research more on how the Japanese and the likes gather parts and tell us what you discover, Well either assemble or manufacture, the fact is we have our own brand in vehicle history,

So you mean buying from abroad duty free will be cheaper than buying from innoson, if that is the case (though NO, i need figures to believe this ), does that mean the FG should ignore them and let them die young ?

Lastly, i believe with availability of funds and manpower (which we already have), innoson can manufacture thousands of buses within the time frame ! But they wont just help ! they prefer carrying the money go obodo oyinbo ! i wonder when we go starts appreciating our indigenous produce in this country,

who cares ? Mtchewww

anyone confirmed this yet?hope it's real sha

@Chamber2

Its a long story but will summarize as much as possible.

I applied for physics in one of the Federal Universities in Nigeria because I wanted a course that is very challenging and agrees with my make up. I know many physics graduates/undergraduates did not apply for physics, they were given physics, regrettably. No matter what circumstance, my opinion remains that it is a great and noble course to study. I did calculus, statistics, theoretical, quantum etc, Electrical and electronic engineering courses -Circuit theory, electromagnetic theory, Control theory, engineering mathematics, Digital Signal Processing etc, Philosophy, Law and Computer Programming, Physical, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry, Nuclear Physics just to mention a few. So you see, physics exposes you to a wide variety of information and most importantly the ability to THINK ON YOUR FEET, no straight answers to anything (remember questions like: a guy rides a bike in SouthEast direction, the wind is blowing against him in the Northwest direction, while negotiating a roundabout, he falls at a banking angle of 30 degrees, assuming 9.8m/s2 gravity, calculating his speed of falling if his uniform velocity was 15m/s, DO YOU FEEL ME) How do you solve questions like that, you start thinking of all the laws of mathematics, physics, motion, gravity, centrifugal force etc that you know in order to figure a way out.

So you see, physics trains you to think, dissect and analyze situations.

Thats how much I love physics.

Now, I was told that most times, physics grad ended up as teachers and lectures and sincerely I did not want to end up that way most importantly because I wanted to maximize my potentials and also make a lot of MONEY out of my career. We know that in this part of the world, most of what we are being taught is already obsolete before we can even think of what to do with it. I sincerely discovered in my first year in the university that IF I DONT DO SOMETHING, I am headed for a DEAD END. How did I deliver myself from this dilemma.

While in my first year, the school went on 6 months strike and as we were resuming, ASUU went on another 5 months strike.

My friends and I made up our minds that we were going to look for problems and find a solution. What prompted that was the rigor of registration process every session in my school as at then. We began to ask questions, Cant there be a solution where from any part of the world, you can conveniently register online with the advent of the internet, and we have to have casualties all the time while thousands of students were queueing to do their sessional registration?

What was the solution? Computer programming

We designed a top down flowchart of how we were going to do it. We from physics were to come up with a biometric identification system such that students will need to register their finger prints for payment authentication, then computer science friends were to come up with the web application.

That was what led me into compiler construction, Q basic, Visual Basic, C language, C++, C# and Java. You know computer interfacing was a purely hardware programming stuff. I learn fortran, cobol, assembly language, studied A LOT about Integrated Circuits and How to program chips. It was a very interesting though difficult experience because I didnt have anybody to ask who had done such before and had to figure everything out searching online and digging into books(aged) in our school library. If you see machine codes, you go fear. MFC in C++ was also very confusing when I was trying to develop a GUI using C or C++. I used Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 shortly before the .NET platform came out.

You can see why VISION is extremely important in whatever you want to do because without it, your passion will soon quench along the way.

Down the road, I HIT the ROCKS, I couldnt get an IC programmer that I can insert a IC Chip, run my program from the PC and reprogram the IC to do what I want it to do. You know the interfacing circuit must be able to read the finger prints, use Analog to Digital Converter to translate to machine codes, manage all the interrupts, addresses and the GUI must be able to reproduce the same image.

Thats how I hit the rocks o but seriously, our lives never remain the same.

Note that we READ like MAD MEN. Any computer programming/electronics book that can give us further clues, we spent lots of money to acquire them, even shipped in Microsoft.NET Visual Studio from the USA as soon as it came out. Any little holiday, We are back completely to what we loved doing. I remembered that for 4 years, I never went home for CHRISTMAS/NEW YEAR celebrations. I could as well take myself out for a good lunch and get back to work.

We reasoned later that and asked, why dont we use an existing devise that can do what we planned to do. Remember whatever you think you want to do, most of the time, it already exists somewhere.

Thats was when I began to focus on C#/Java and server side programming/wired and wireless computer networking. Did I lose focus? Without defending myself, I will say NO, I only looked in a different direction. ONE QUESTION IS FUNDAMENTAL, HOW WILL I MAKE MY KNOWLEDGE RELEVANT AND MARKETABLE?

I was not fully involved in the finalized project coding because we had other friends on board who were very very smart and good and I dont want to list where they are working right now, doing what they love, CODING, but sincerely, at the end of our 3rd year in the school, the project was finalized and launched the same year. In addition, on several occasions where we met with the management of the school including the Vice Chancellor, we had to defend and explain how it worked to them and take their feedback for necessary adjustments.

To cut the story short, I was involved in the implementation and management of the application and alongside learnt wired, wireless plus fibre optic networking since I had to confront myself that, TRULY, programming was not my natural habitat.

Because of the exposure to hardware programming and interfacing, I became very good at diagnosis, repairs and maintenance of hardwares and eventually became a supplier of laptops, desktops, programming lecture to seniors, colleagues and juniors and later was into sales and installation of wireless routers when the school forayed into provision of wireless network connectivity to the public.

Eventually, I did my Industrial Attachment with the school, developed other programming applications with Visual Basic.Net etc and went into DATA MINING full time. Now that we had a huge database of information, what do we do with it? Hence my foray into Data Analytics/Business Intelligent/Information Systems. I also developed networking skills, contracting, sales, marketing, research etc skills. I had to fix PC for influential people in my school, I would have missed the opportunity to network with them if I didnt learn how to connect with people in higher positions of authority. I also made a few bucks from those relationships.

Summarily, by the time I finished school, I was too busy to think of what to do next with my life.

While doing my research, I discovered that technology implementation especially in Nigeria had moved into  packaged software and rather than bottom up development (banks, telecoms etc). That was when I went into SAP and Oracle e Business suites because they are already perfected softwares that you can use to manipulate and analyse information to the extent that you know how to use them. My sound programming background help with ABAP and I had hands on experience already with MS SQL SERVER, ORACLE SQL, My SQL, ASP.NET, ADO.NET had a tough time understanding Java and JavaBEANS etc so I dumped it and became MICROSOFT/BILL GATES fan for life. TRUST MICROSOFT - EVERYTHING HAD BEEN AUTOMATED, Just Click and connect your database if you are not interested in writing codes (seriously, am very lazy and coding is not fun for me)

I discovered that there are billions of pages of information but who will make sense out of it? That is the niche where I live. Give me sufficient information, using all the tools that technology have, I will tell you in simple sentences what is the best decision to take, What that is called, I dont know , information systems, decision science, executive decision making, strategic analysis, whatever I am still looking for the numenclature that captures that,

I also need to mention here that the one and only hobby that I enjoy doing anytime anyday is READING and RESEARCH, I cant count how many years of my life I have spent on the internet inundating myself with information.

Many years down the line, that is the field I still am today, ANALYSIS, tell my firm what the figures and trends are saying and what is the way to go/STRATEGIC DECISION MAKING.

I want to make a lot of money from my talents and want to stay relevant, any industry I find myself, and thats what led me into writing professional exams in Business Analysis, Data Analysis, Project Management, Information System Management, Finance etc.

If I have opportunity to choose another course, I will go for Quantitative Finance/Physics/Information Systems/Actuarial Science because of the weight of calculations and reasoning that is involved and most importantly it is applicable e.g. Quantitative Finance is very integral to the worldwide financial industry, FX, Hedge funds etc

I love influencing the direction that things go and thats why I want to be a decision maker for individuals, presidents, UN, AU etc

I believe my long story will encourage somebody in their quest for greatness.

Identify your habitat, go all the way doing what you love, dont limit yourself by a limited imagination, Think beyond your environment, Look outside the box, Pursue your dream passionately,

I can assure you that if there is no vacancy for you today, life will create space for you if you stay glued to your dreams, dont stay on the bed, wake up and work out the dreams,

@Chamber2, I rest my case,

what an interesting story. Cant believe i read every damn letters of this Longman Comtemporary Textbook ! just kidding

what an interesting match to watch ! i just pray Utd wins.

No wonder , Like Team Like Fans

liteleto:
It is quite clear now, that boko haram is based in Cameroon. It is high time we taught that country a very bitter and unforgettable lesson.
‎​ agree wit u dt dis guyz r coming in frm cameroun but how do we purge out dis threat surely not by invadin cameroun.

Not by invasion i concur but am very sure they might not be aware of these terrorists in their midst !

They feel green, think greeeen and live greeeening ! Obama is one ! lol

spyder880:
Yeeeeeeeeh! And we hit front page!

dont know why that surprised you, you doing a valuable job here ! THREAD BOOKMARKED !

laidol:
most ladies do not want relationships with struggling guys, they want an already made bed, thus overlooking intentionally various red alerts including the marriage status of guys. In my opinion, its her cross, let her carry it.

Well said, True talk !

Am currently angry with my ex , she supposed call on an issue but sending text messages !

Of course Friday !

i workd like hell then on weekends ranging from house chores to dad factory !

Mr. Globe:
'nairalist came close to craiglist'
you must be out of your damn mind

must you talk ? ?

@Poster, Can you pls link me up with that your friend that fund flippa account with absolute no charges as you claimed ? I need it as soon as possible pls !

No one Here is their website http://mypaga.com

I loved the idea of this great new mobile technology being fully launched few weeks ago. So I'd like to know maybe any nairalanders is currently using the platform or had used them with great success or not Your experience needed pls !

Dont know what's wrong with Nairalist, it keep showing post older than 4 days rather than recent posts, Could this be my cache ? i'd try using like 5 pcs yet i got the same. Cant post new ads rather.

papa una welcome back to life !!

Stumble on this and sees it deemed fit necessary to light candles for those we'd parted due to destiny ! So am lighting a candle here for my lovely friend WASIU, i missed you but i believe God wants and loves you more ! May your perfect soul continue to rest in perfect peace.

Can anyone here tells me what kva i need to use in my office with 6 systems (flat screen monitors) and 2 wall fans.

why complainin about d money to be spent? Are'nt you aware dt billions of naira are wasted yearly on budget due to fake hike censors figures in d country? In fact, this is a welcome idea and i pray God shall lead us through. God bless Nigeria.

Hi AdexFem,

Kudos for being informative on this forum, I need to know the clearing cost of 1996 Mazda 626 cronos V6 Sedan. And also the days involved to be cleared.
