I am in discussion with a supervisor for a fully funded PhD program in Canada. If successful, I would take the offer and still be shuttling between Nigeria and Canada. I don't want to abandon my consultancy job and Nigeria altogether. My intention is still to remain here in Nigeria after the program. The PhD is to help beef up my profile. Nothing like home.

I wish like going to my village. Honestly, our villages should now Start being a tourist destination. The farm looks like my "mama nnukwu's mbu-bo" then. Meaning, "Grandmother"s mini backyard farm". Then, we could pluck anything, ranging from vegetables, cassava, pear, Mango, orange and guava. That place is no more as the mini farm has been taken over by gigantic houses. Anambrarians will understand better

CrestMan:
Actually LEFTIST GROUPS!

You are correct. But my use of "rightist" here was to connote the human rights groups and those that champion the cause of humanity, not that i meant far-right. Even the human right groups are equally part of the leftist establishment anyway

God bless my Dad

God bless me also for following in the dictates and values inculcated in me by my Dad

God bless my child to listen to me and follow on my footsteps and improve on it even better.

That is how family values and systems are transferred from one generation to another.

May we all continue to increase in wisdom and knowledge.

Djokovic has become a rebel lately.
His opinion though

I like him for that - He has always been against the establishment and mainstream positions on things.

Banning those players is not the best thing to do. Those Russian players had individually condemned the invasion and playing with their Ukrainian counterpart should have been an opportunity to promote unity and peace.

But as usual, everybody would wants to pander to the mood of the rightist groups and mainstream public opinions. Wimbledon organizers are no exception.

See his shapeless body, bulging tummy and ugly face

Nigerian politicians could be annoying. He should just keep quiet.

The next Grammy award anchor and host.

If you try any nonsense, you go collect.

He is not called " Iron Mike Tyson" for nothing.

I knew it would be a white man that would do that kind of upsetting

Imagine stalking the man after several warning and ended up throwing used bottled water at him.

Just imagine if this guy was not Englishman. He would have been roasted alive since. Being a son of the soil has been his luck, if not, with his current run of form, one crazy fan would just enter pitch and stab him.

If you are ready to bear the cost of replacement, remove the roof and the cable wire that was used in connecting light to the compound.

If you have pumping machine that pumps water for the tenants, remove it. Let your Engineer mobilize fictitious men to the place in the name of carrying out renovation. A Landlord did in my area and it worked. Nigerians are simply too difficult.

The most effective weapon given to Ukrainian army till date is the British anti tank hand-held launcher. That anti tank launchers have succeeded in destroying lots of Russian tanks from long range. I watched where that anti tank launcher was used and i was amazed. You will see the Russian tank trying to dodge the incoming missile from the launcher, the missile will be following the Russian tank and be doing zig-zag movement till it hits target.

Nigeriaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Who did we offend bikonu?

Well, exact same way government spends money to send people to Jerusalem and Mecca to pray for peace and good governance in Nigeria.

In as much as this kind of thing happens in other climes, my prayer has always been NOT to be in a situation where i will need the intervention of the Nigerian State or State actors or Agents to save my life.

Lintel stage reached.

Roofing woodwork to be completed hopefully by this weekend.

There's a roofing crew out of Iseyin that I want to test out.

Nawao, e no dey hard, person don reach roofing stage for bungalow.

Well done. My next build will be bungalow, honestly.

Fantastic work bro. I love the layout and design of this 2 bedroom flat. Very spacious and well ventilated, especially the large living room

Start with the one that offers sure money, the 100k job. Don't be deceived by the awon entrepreneurs. Nigeria's business environment is unforgiving and harsh.

The headline was even confusing. I thought Abukar Idris was the mother that died.

Verbal reasoning is one of the major assessment criterias for jobs and entrance examinations.

This is even an opportunity for any serious politician to make a move and enter the race. Nigeria's political landscape is unpredictable. Let the person contest and take the second position, make trouble, noise and later gets compensated.

If he wants, he could challenge the process that brought Sanwo Only in court.

My Anambra and lavish burial ceremonies!!

See how they decorated the coffin and the table like that of wedding, where the bride and the groom cut their wedding cake.

It is easier to join NATO than EU.

EU criteria are very stiff and difficult. You must fulfill certain conditions and be seen to be working towards free market economy, elimination of corruption and other economics indicators

Turkey has been a member of NATO but still struggling to fulfill the EU ascension requirements. EU will never accept Ukraine on a platter of gold. They will have to follow the EU laid down procedures.

Zelensky is just using sentiments and emotions to sway EU towards accepting them into the block. EU will never lower their standards to accommodate Ukraine or else they will be setting a dangerous precedent.

Dutch and Irish presidents have already rejected any accelerated membership consideration for Ukraine and said that due processes have to be follow and potential for good economic growth seen in Ukraine to avoid Ukraine dragging the block behind.

That St. Paul's letter to the Corinthians:

"If Christ has not risen from dead, then our faith is in vain".

The above is the very essence of Christianity.

He looked lean and may be suffering from one undisclosed illness. People like that should not be exposed to exhaustion or strenuous activity where they could be faced with harsh weather elements.

Rip seminarian.

Na Una Sabi. Na Catfish get me anytime, any day. I have stopped eating beef, diary and poutry based foods.

Today, na Catfish pepper soup and rice I go chop.

WibusJaga:
HBD. I no de forget dat him weird "Urinating Dog" world cup goal celebration.

Hahaha. Even his team mates shock sef about the celebration. Commentators could not understand his celebration. Good old days of the super eagles.

Mine don't charge me anything. It is not a viewing center but a hang out joint. I take at least two bottles of Smirnoff Ice or star raddler while watching. I don't enjoy watching matches at home. I enjoy it more at joints

My aged parents have refused nanny or house boy. My mum is 67 and dad's 77. My mum is the one driving the car, cooking and bathing my dad as he is mildly incapacitated. This kind of news is making her not to bring any outsider to come and live or work with them.

She said she doesn't want any one that would collaborate with an outsider to murder or steal from them. I just have to stop insisting on getting a helper for her.

I don't know why US have not thought it wise to give us military aid. We do pay for every military hardware purchases, unlike some countries that continues to enjoy multimillion dollar aid in military hardware.

Egypt, Israel and recently, Ukraine have been getting military aid worth billions of dollars. Simple attack helicopter we have been asking for, they will bill us humongous amount and still delay the delivery of the hardware. Honestly, they have not been fair to Nigeria.

In all situation, please use your brain. Do not be deceived. Understand your environment and have your next move deep in your heart.

Finally, make sure that you are in good books of your supervisor, especially, if you are working in Nigeria or else, na OYO - Be wise o !

Your supervisor can make or mar your career and recovering back could be depressing. People change job not because they hate their jobs or the company, it is because they hate their bosses.

The problem with most educated/graduates is not knowing what to do with their qualifications.

With that your qualification, you are poised for a career in international NGOs, consulting and international agencies. The additional qualifications you got were not necessary. With your degree in sociology and masters in statistics, you should have developed more competence in SPSS, Data visualization, data analysis, TABULAR, Graphics design, Info-graphics and other statistical tools.

With this, you search for opportunities in monitoring and evaluation, program management, report writing and data management with UN agencies and INGOs. You should be able to know where your skills are needed.

Marry her if she has all the qualities of a good wife, especially, respect and fear of God. Please forget this university of a thing. Enroll her in any school of nursing in the same State where you are living. University education is not the only license to better life in the future. Qualified nurses from Nigeria are securing jobs abroad now while those with the so high - grade qualifications are roaming around, looking for jobs.

Age could have nothing to do with marriage if the couple are sincere and respect each other. My wife was just 22 when I married her and she has grown and developed under my watch. Note that marrying a younger lady comes with a great deal of patience, responsibility, care, understanding and guidance. You will be practically doing a lot of things yourself, especially, if you are bringing her to a new location, as she grows and develops into the marriage.

All the best.

Godfullsam:
I hope you are very old, incompetent, corrupt and clueless.

These are some of the requirements o.

Okezie Ikpeazu and Yahaya Bello should follow suit and meet the president to inform him of their intentions to run. They possesses the requisite criterias. The president would be very excited to receive them and wish them well.

Dan Amokachi with his iconic pose. That's the way he usually posed then with Super Eagle for those that could still remember that great squad

This man should device another strategy. I know he is a very frugal person. This is Nigeria biko. You have to show workings before people could take you serious. Nigerian electorates are not swayed by these kind of thing. Majority are too ignorant to understand what it takes to govern.

Most Nigerians will still vote in the most incompetent candidates in 2023 and come online to start abusing them. Obi represents a paradigm shift but his way of operation will not get him the presidency. The presidency of Nigeria is mostly decided by illiterate voters who do not even have an Idea why they are voting.

Obi should build alliances. If he is not chosen via concensus by PDP, he is not getting the ticket. He has to bring in his war chest. That's how the game is played in Nigeria.
