I honestly feel and sympathise with kids without their parents. Nothing could be compared to parental care and love.

I sometimes look at my kids and wondered if anyone could love and care for them as I do.

If you visit the motherless babies home, you will cry for those little ones.

You will see a baby of 8 months in the baby's bed just gazing at you. You could feel the absence of love and care.

I held one and brought him out of his bed. Took him round the premises and walked around for him to feel the outer environment. To drop him back in his bed was a problem. He held me tightly and was wailing.
Loneliness and boredom were really affecting him.

I pity the young lady - She wont see her next three months salary. I trust Nigeria one - man business. Either she get sacked or retained with all the shouting, insults and verbal abuse from the owner.

Nigerians, always thinking that the solution to every problem lies with religion and God. Even when they are to sort themselves out, they will be waiting on God.

We continue to pray for Nigerian, yet things are getting worse, while those that do not pray for their countries are enjoying the highest standards of living.

Honestly, I am totally disappointed in Reverend Father Ede. Who controls the man? Under whose dioceses does he operates? Which Bishop does he reports to?

The man seems bigger than the catholic church because I am sure that university is not under the control of the diocesan Bishop. Is the finances of the school under the church or managed by Ede?

Catholic schools all over the world are known for high standard but Madonna, nawao.

He started all these spiritual father thing in the east that Mbaka, Gbuzuo and co followed.

People will continue to follow them blindly.

This is fine but I don't know why our architects don't incorporate tree planting, lush green areas, flowers and shrubs in landscaping. It is usually concrete everywhere. This space is big and should have adequate lush grass, even the drive ways should be sandwiched by lush green grasses.


My compound is not big but 70 percent of the spaces will be covered with natural grasses and trees. Only the parking space and drive way will be interlocked.

I don't know if it is a blessing to Mikel or not. He has not been active in football since leaving Chelsea, yet Chelsea is doing well. He has only been active in family things.

Imagine if he was in this current Chelsea squad

My brother, I have two of them in my place currently unemployed. All are ladies. One has Bsc in international relations and the other in health sciences, both with first class.

You will be shocked that even some of the private schools around my area turned them down because of no vacancy.

I have been trying all I could to help. Pushing for a call centre agent job now for one of them.

I am also trying to see if foreign scholarship could work but that one is still very competitive. You compete with people from other countries for the award.

The problem is that most of them do not know how to help themselves in job search and cV updates.

Job search is a highly skilled area and one need to be smart to decode opportunities. I used it a lot during my job search.

More than a year now, no show. The job market here is truly saturated.

Most people working in nigeria do not have disposal income because of large unemployed family members to cater for. I always do my best to assist as I was also given a helping hand to climb at the critical moment by a family member that brought me to lagos.

Woman looks younger than the man in the first pix and in the second pix she looks older than the man. Is my eyes deceiving me.

The woman was growing in geometric progression 2,4,6,8 while the man was growing in arithmetic progression 1,2,3,4.

Igbo People are Outstanding tribe in Nigeria. You hardly see such wickedness in Ala Igbo. We may quarrel but when both kindred steps in, matters are handled maturely.

You should be ashamed of this statement. People were killed and all you could say was to bring your useless tribal chest beating into the matter.

After you will go and wail about marginalisation.

Nigeria and fence. Fence has a way of distorting the appearance of cities. You hardly see fence in US and Europe

This picture got me laughing. Others were looking up and he was looking straight

Skill rules the world now. If you are going to struggle to pay your school fees, please face your skills and passion. Develop it to the best. Forget the admission and face your business. If your parents are rich and can foot your school fees, go to school and take your passion as a side hustle.

Never struggle to pay your school fees when you have options of starting your business.

Una don come again.

You be keke driver?

To marry a soldier now in Nigeria is like purchasing an application form for widowhood. No thanks to Boko Haram and the government.

Lol if you notice all those areas are filled with indigines, they killed their own state

Cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural centers prospers more than cities inhabited mainly by natives. Check some of the cities in UK, US and other western Europe. Compare it with that of Eastern Europe inhabited by natives mainly.

Come to Nigeria, Cities like Lagos and Abuja are inhabited by mostly by people from other states. Check also multinational companies, you see Chinese, Indians, Europeans, Americans and Africa, all working together. Each respecting one another

Compare it with companies dominated by one section or natives, in fighting, same with states dominated by natives, clan clashes are very common.

I love multicultural settings and institutions. Check all the United Nations establishment, do you know what it takes to be employed as a professional staff there? The organizations works so efficiently with everybody being respected irrespective of your ethnic origin. You wont see any verbal abuse. You don't know what you will do the next person will find offensive. So, there is always a mutual respect.

I love staying in company of people from diverse background than staying with people from my own clan or ethnicity or religion.

Mgbuka Obosi - Nigeria should have a place where one could buy parts and couple his own car.

Sowore never start and him don de get pot belly - Nigerian politicians and pot bellies. It seems that pot belly is now a requisite for politics in Nigeria.

Honestly, I don't know why corpers engage in all sorts of travel and one program or the other. It is just one year. Simply serve and go home and meet your parents alive. Stop all these associations this and that and serve your fatherland in peace and go home.

I remember mine in 2004, I made it categorically clear to my team, catholic corper, as well that I would not be involved in all these travels. I was serving in Kano city and once in a while required us to visit corpers in remote villages in Kano to have chat and know how they were doing.

Some accused me of not wanting to participate. There are better pressing need one should engage himself than all these associations that add nothing but takes away your precious time.

GEJ in attendance

GEJ always looking confused!!!

Abacha's men of yester-years

He looks like a commissioned officer based on the relative 'affluence' I saw in the picture. A typical ordinary non commissioned soldier cannot boast of this type of house and affluence. We budget billions for the armed forces yet majority of them look poor and if you see their families, you will weep even when the man is still alive. what happens when he dies?
My sympathy to the wife. I hope the shameless commanders would not want to corner the wife.

I wonder the kind of insurance the nation provides for its service men and officers.

Nigerian youths! They will soon start insulting themselves on what the political class did. It still baffles me why the youths keep fighting themselves because of deception of the political class. People that care less of them and are not even aware of their existence will come online to start bashing themselves, religion and tribe of their 'opponents'. At the end, some will be sending you private mail asking for N10K to save them from hunger and will still come online to fight over the politician.

I don't know why Rex Institute is threatening the president and APC. Was the logo patented, registered and copyrighted? If not, anybody could come up with something like that or even use the same logo. It is only when you register a logo or copyright it that you claim infringement if used by someone else.

That is why you see some names, logos or brand with these signs " ™®©", showing that it is exclusive and have been registered and should not be used by anybody without express approval from the original owner.

If I call somebody to design a business logo that I am using today and someone decides to use the same logo tomorrow, the law does not stop him from using the same logo. If you are using a logo that is not registered or patented, you cant claim exclusive right in the court of law for that logo.

What a disaster! - See that poor lady that survived. Only God knows what was going on in her mind.

THE QUESTION IS: WHY DID YOU RETURN BACK BRO?

I am a career minded person. That category of job would not help me in future. I struggled to get a professional jobs in my area of specialisations in UK but the conservative government of David Cameron was making things extremely difficult for foreign students.

A financial institutions in Nigeria came for the yearly "careers in Africa " summit in London and I was hired. The entry pay was lower than my monthly gross in the care home I was working . But when you considered that I was going to be working in my cherished area and the Potential for growth, I took the offer and I thank God I did.

Stayed with them for six years, gained valuable experience and joined an oil and gas company.

Have built my own house in Nigeria and about even resigning to set up my own independent business consulting firm.

Had my kids abroad with citizenship so that they don't experience what I saw in UK based on nationality when you get to the final stage of interview. They always asked me if I had the permanent right to work in UK. Once I said no , they won't get back to me.

But some Nigerians with British nationality that I did interviews with got offers.

Honestly, Cameron government dealt with us. Bared companies from hiring none UK /EU professionals

Twizzy30:
wow. like the yoruba saying goes. enu igbe lowo wa lol. do u know if ptdf overseas scholarship is still active?

I think it is still active. One of the best scholarships available

I made my first million in 2009 as PTDF scholar in UK. I was being paid £500 every month by PTDF plus the initial £2000 given to me before departure. Not millions in pounds but when I converted as I was transferring my earnings to my Nigeria bank account

I practically didn't touch the money as I was also working as a cleaner in a hospital, earning £6 per hour. I worked 4 hours a day and unlimited hours during summer. So, I had sufficient money to cater for my needs.

I also did a care giver job at old people's home, cleaning their poo and bathing them at a rate of £8.5 per hour and was fed with all sorts of foods , cakes ice-cream, fruits and juices. I saved quite a lot before returning back to my beloved Naija

Nigerians, very desperate set of people. Always bastardizing opportunities. I blame the Canadian prime minister that said that refugees are welcome and is even paying them 650 dollars pay month for each child.

Some that were lucky to enter start making babies immediately to increase their allowance from government.

Anambra seems to have good tarred roads going by Nigerian standard. Anytime the state is shown even if it is a village, the roads are tarred with street lights.

Whether it is working or not is another thing.

Oyibos are correct when they call Africa and other developing countries as "emerging" economies or country.

The emphasis is on the word, "EMERGING". The meaning is that we are still undergoing human development. We are still not behaving the way the normal human should behave.

Our economy is still not matured the way it should be.

This can never happen in Nigeria or any shithole country
