Dear Lord, please let crisis return to Middle east especially Iran, and let the Coward Trump go to war with another country in middle east


Nigeria could use hike in oil price right now, $150 per barrel would be wonderful

amen... from concerned Nigerians

.....

Concerned Nigerian indeed! At the end of it all, after amassing billions of dollars in windfall, what's your corrupt government going to do with the excess money? More looting by the politicians.

We have had windfalls in the past, 1973; 1991 and 2008, what did they do with it?

Nigeria is still the poorest oil producing country. No thanks to the type of leaders we have.

Billions were made during the gulf war crises, yet we can't boast of sound infrastructure.

Until you leave the shores of this country, you won't know the extend of "wickedness" successive governments had imposed on Nigeria and Nigerians.

Our infrastructures remains the worst I have ever seen. Yet, they will travel abroad, see how things are and come back to continue in their bad governance and wastages.

Governance in Nigeria is bad because of high level of corruption. Imagine spending that colossal sums of money to purchase buses?

I agree with Bill Gates, who recently said that as long as there is no credibility in government, majority of Nigerians would continue to avoid paying taxes.

Hearing this kind of corruption is a disincentive for people not to comply with tax laws, especially those in the informal sector

This issue of trailing people from bank to snatch their money is too common in Onitsha, especially within that main market corridor.

Lazy yooot.

My wife applied but haven't got any feedback. I think she applied for an administrative officer position.

When is the test?

At the end, what is the benefit? All these conferences should be shelved and the fund be channeled to something more productive. All these international talks has no bearing on the average Nigerian on the street. But our politicians would gladly jump on any available plane to attend.

As usual, some idiotic yoots have started insulting themselves on top of this man travel. They did not even bother to know how the impact of the visit will affect them. Insulting one another just to get even with the other person.

very soon, some will even come and type, " God bless Osibanjo" in the usual fashion.

The Hustle is real

she is touring Nigerian cities, promoting her book - No money in Ghana. The book did not sell in Ghana but was told to come to Nigeria and meet the big Abuja boys. She started in Lagos and is moving.

Well done madam - but you are getting fat - flesh everywhere

Giving out loan is a very sensitive transaction and care need to be exercised - Nigerians are known to default when it comes to repayment even when they have the means to repay.

Even giving your friend money for him to repay back is a problem even when he has the capacity - He would just be posting you till you forget about the whole thing. I am living witness.

I worked in the system for more than 10 years and can confidently say that Nigerian businesses have the highest rate of loan default - most are willful default. Not that the borrower does not have money to repay, but will deliberately refused repayment. This has led to many account officers being fired by their respective banks.

I agree that money should be advanced to entrepreneurs, but note that some of these "wanna be entrepreneurs" do not have marketable business proposal with capacity to repay the loan. Finally, Nigerian business environment is so toxic - you don't know what would happen to your investment in the next minute. These makes most bank to hold on with giving out loan any how.

The case of Diamond bank is still fresh in our mind. Delinquent loan killed that bank.

Children everywhere!

Please and I keep advising young men, spend time in developing your capabilities and success in life. There is no need trying to impress one girl or cry over the other in your 20s. Good things are every where, and must she be the one you want to settle down with ?

You seems very insecure. Oga please focus your energy towards your career goal and hustling. The competition is tough out there for you to be thinking about a girl. I assure you that when you succeed, she would be the one looking to come down to Lagos to see.

Please don't be controlled or moved like a weakling. Face your hustle first biko!

I have a relative who has been married for the past 21 years with no child. I recently visited them and the quietness in the house has taken away their joy and happiness.

For those who desire a child in their union, I pray the Lord to give you seeds and wipe the tears of you both.

Richdad

I always feel for couple in this kind of situation. Have they tried IVF? I was shocked when I got to know about a couple that have been waiting for 7 years and never heard about IVF.

I hope they don't have extremist view of religion/ Christianity or believing that conception could only happen by fasting and prayers. IVF have solved a lot of issues for childless couples.

Let it be that money may be the issue but bring the IVF issue to their notice.

So they travelled abroad to give birth? Nigerian leaders and the rich. Most people, including me do not believe in a prosperous future in Nigeria again for our children. Wealthy Nigerians are buying up citizenship for the kids because they believed that their kids may not have the same opportunities they had.

Go to US embassy, 99% of pregnant women waiting to be interviewed are going there for child birth just to get the blue passport for their kids.

UK Royalty sure know how to give state visit. These are the kind of state visit and reception accorded to African leaders that made some of them stupid and agreed to the cunning conservative UK system. Some African leaders opened their treasury to them and allowed the Bretton Wood institutions to deceive them. At the end, what is the benefit of all these visits to the common man in Nigeria

When the Monarchy hosts you, they will accord you the highest respect as long as there is benefit attached to it. I remembered the way the UK Universities pampered some of us on hearing that we were on PTDF scholarship to study. Immediately after the one year scholarship expired, the honey moon stopped. Once they saw that your sponsor has paid all your fees, the service level dropped. You are on your won

UK schools no de take eye see or hear say a star or someone is coming to study on paid scholarship. Kia kia, dem go give you admission.

Nigerians and their stupid, " What will you tell God?". Leave all these your stupid religious beliefs.

If you want to know what they will tell God, die and join them and stand by the gate during the questioning to hear what they will tell God.

Every time, " what will you tell God" as if he is a judge. God does not reason the way human does.

We are so confused by religion in this country, thinking that self-righteousness will take one to heaven. The least religious countries have the highest standard of living while the most religious are languishing in abject poverty.

It seems Frodd is on the beat to win this if both Tacha and Mercy are disqualified. But Biggie wont do it as they are adding color and glamour to the whole show. If it had been other people, am sure Biggie wont waste time in disqualifying them as their behavior is against the code of conduct in the house.

All these mentality of let me check out and hustle - Please know the country you are going to do the hustling. A lot of countries are very poor and no provision for any menial job sef.

Kudos to him for even trying to teach English Language - we have someone that left and went to Vietnam for the so called hustle after selling his used phone business, things became hard for him and he enrolled to teach English in a local kindergarten school. He was so successful that the school even recognized him as one of their best staff because of his dedication.

The guy did not attend University in Nigeria but was born and bred in Lagos. He is happily married to a Vietnamese and is still living there.

Thanks @focusmind for the kind words.. And if I may ask, do u know if Oliva wayman recruit from Nigerian?

They are not in Nigeria. They fly in their consultants to carry out assignments for their Nigeria based clients.

I tried joining them in UK but couldn't because what I had was student visa which did not qualify me for a permanent jobs in UK.

This type of thread will never get to front page. Some youths will run away from it because it is not what interests them.

People of intellect and those with passion for knowledge and learning will always be interested.

Kudos to you guys. Consulting was an area I was so interested in joining in my early 20s but the competition was so intense. I did countless assessments with companies in UK like Oliver Wyman, Messer, BCG.

Consulting gives you the leverage to negotiate big time if you decide to join other industries or to move to a client firm.

People that worked for less than 2 years in consulting would be offered managerial positions in other industries with mouth watering offers.

If you can and still within the age, please pursue your dream in the consulting, but if you have exceeded the age, move to another thing.

Consulting firms like catching people young.

When you watch " Snake in the city" on Nat Geo Wide, you will understand the difference between civilised world and savage kingdom.

Where do we as a nation and people belong to? Civilised world or Savage Kingdom?

Answer the above.

Honestly, I don't know why I hate all these conferences - Government will be here shouting no money and at the same time wasting the little ones on frivolities.

Things that have no bearing on the welfare of the masses should be shelved. You hardly see serious countries spent money on all these conferences.

It is not that they do not attend but there must be reasons for them to spend tax payers money.

You hardly see countries like Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Scandinavians attend all these conferences except climate change climate, corruption debate, technologies conferences; AI and machine learning - These are the conferences they mostly attend.

Our politicians are notorious for attending all "attendables" all in a bid to collect allowances

Our Politicians goes to all - any conference that they are invited, they will just pack their bags and off.

Let their poor and wretched defenders come and attack me.

Ronaldo is becoming too fool of himself. Why did he boycott the event? I hate it when people think that they are the only ones entitled to receive success and honor.

He failed to attend the event as he knew that he wont win. At least, show respect by attending if you were invited. You should not be going there only when you knew that you would win.

I am his fan but I hate pride and arrogance

Op, how good are you in bed? No matter how slutty or stubborn she behaves or spend time with her friends, if you are still "Rocky" and gives her satisfaction, she wont cheat. But she will continue to give people attention and flirt with her friends without actually cheating on you except if she is not getting sexual satisfaction.

Don't worry your self - As someone said, start slaying yourself and start looking good. Let those slay queen in your neighborhood start admiring you. Her senses would come back

What about for people with bald head

Cus right now am in pain , I just want my bald hair to vanish

If you are bald, then beard will be good for you. People with bald head looks good on beards if the bald hair is clean shaven.

And all the other youths around the world are on protest match around cities to draw attention to climate change.

Nigerian youths are matching for their BB Naija person.

Sorry to say this but attending Nigerian university is one of the worst things that could happen to anybody.

So crude in thinking and reasoning and the lecturers there would be forming god.

Mum didn't allow me to live cries the poor little soul

Hmmm... it is neither here nor there. I saw a case a man called those ones that sells Agbo jajadi to come and sell. Small time they started jisting as if they had known themselves and I suspected that the guy was toasting the woman and she was laughing hysterically.

I was waiting for my plumber to come, the guy and the Agbo seller went inside. They stayed for like 20mins.

My plumber arrived and went inside, he immediately came out and was smiling. I asked him what happened and he said the guy de nack the babe inside.

I hope the scenario in this case is not a case of not settling the babe and she reported rape to the police.

Nigerian courts cannot arbitrate or adjudicate on matters between P &ID and the Nigerian government.

Nigerian government signed an agreement that all matters concerning their contract with P&ID would be decided in British courts or the international court for arbitration.

The Abuja court judgment is of no effect. Nigerian leaders should be serious in scrutinizing contracts before they sign and not stop running up and down when issues comes up. They ought to have done what they were supposed to do but failed in the usual Nigerian way of " leaving like that. Nothing go happen".

They are used to running to court to obtain fake judgment - it wont work in this case. Go back to the British court and tell the British Crown Court to order P&ID to forfeit their Nigerian assets and not one Mahmud court in Abuja.

Hedonisco:
Since you're talking from your narrow perspective, have you ever bothered to find out how many employees in Nigeria earn up to N150k a month?

When evaluating this matter, you should compare 'like for like'. You don't compare a low level entrepreneur with a mid level manager earning a good salary, or even with an entry level guy working at a plum job like ExxonMobil. That's ridiculous. What's the percentile of graduates working at such jobs in comparison with the vast majority of hungry, underemployed employees slaving away for peanuts every month?

Now check the under 50 home owners across Nigeria's major cities. 90% of them are entrepreneurs. Thousands of average Igbo and Yoruba traders and hustlers own very nice middle class duplexes everywhere across Lagos, Abuja etc. How many 'average' employees can boast of same?



Apart from the tiny percentage of salary earners fortunate enough to have NLNG type of jobs with outrageous salaries, any average employee who owns a decent duplex or even bungalow in a decent part of Lagos or Abuja is likely a thief - benefitting from the corruption that is the only thing that they know how to do. He did not and cannot build/buy a house and live that kind of lifestyle from his legitimate salary.

Better face facts.

This is the part the OP failed to understand. Why haven't the working people have their own houses. Throughout the period I rented houses, all were owned by people running their businesses. Mainland especially, Gbagada, Ikeja, Isolo, Magodo, Festac - 90% of the houses belong to entrepreneurs.

You cant be comparing a struggling entrepreneur with someone that just started working in a bank or oil company. Of course, the guy doing the 9 - 5 job would be better off.

When looked evenly, OP, those with their businesses are far more better in terms of welfare - Average salary of all Nigerians working 9 - 5 is not up to 40k per month.

I am in 9 - 5 now, but my transition to entrepreneurship or consulting as in my case is not far from now. Once my consulting hustle start gets up to 50% of my 9 - 5 pay, I am off.

I need to take charge of my life style and define my future. I told my self that by age 40 years, I should have my own house and business. Eagerly working towards it - it may be difficult initially but I always believe in hard work

Seeing her early in the morning without makeup could be so terrifying to the person. Even more traumatic to the would be fiancee.

From 1999 to 2014, Wadata house was like an oil company, a conglomerate head quarter, where a recent graduate wished to work. The jumbo pay and other "shareable" were in abundance.

I remember one of my colleagues then in UK during our PTDF scholarship studies that got job opportunity in PDP secretariat, the guy abandoned the PTDF scholarship study, barely 6 months after we started our studies. We started in September and by February the following year, he got the offer and went back home.

He is from Adamawa and his contact helped him secured a job in PDP secretariat in their communication department. My guy just abandoned his studies and returned back home to take up the offer.

Things have turned around for once popular wadata house. Nothing is permanent in this life. As supporters would always say, PDP is "CUMMING". Be on the watch out

Origin still remain one of their most successful new products.

VAT from alcohol should be shared to states based on volume of consumption in each state of the federation.

You can't ban alcohol in Kano and still receive the VAT collected from its sales in Lagos or Anambra.

IGBOSON1:
Precisely!

I want him to focus on his bid to be the next Governor of his state! He's not like your typical desperate and greedy politician that will lose to an opponent and then want to scatter everything like the wicked woman before King Solomon! I like how -even as he lost to Obiano- he still supported his tenure for good 8 years! So he has paid his dues!

He is the best candidate for Anambra after Obiano. I would like to see how his economic agenda would affect the state. I want to see a technocrat become a governor in Nigeria. Forget all those people that claim technocrat - they are not ..

But Nigeria's political environment is just too complicated - even technocrats would struggle to make an impact - there are a lot of vested interests that stifle one's idea.
