He is not Nigerian. He is American biko. All these Nigerians that have lost in Yankee. They should stop refering them as Nigerians. The US environment and society shaped their behaviour and character.

LOL. Please add social misfits to the adjectives

People don't know that social skills, been informed about trends, general knowledge and interpersonal relationship are enablers to success.

It is not about religion, book, holiness, self-righteousness and seclusion. You will find out that you are missing in lots of life learning activities.

I am facing the same thing with my wife's younger brother. This is someone I contributed money to help him finish his degree in Psychology. I wanted him to enroll for an MA or M.Sc in psychiatric nursing to know if he could be able to join his mates in searching for greener pastures abroad as the program is in demand overseas.

He has refused to help himself and continued to move with his friends. This is just the only son of his parents.

Do you do Bungalows? Share some designs make we see. I am thinking of a decent two large bedrooms bungalow, with may be extra small boys quarter room.

Ignorance at its peak. Op, you are still not exposed and you are using your ignorance to insult those hard working ladies that are waitress. I don't know why most guys in this forum finds it easier to unleash their hatred on the ladies. Most of these guys are usually introvert, poor, over religious and those that have been rejected and shown pepper by the ladies.

Op, there is a cocktail called, "hot dick" as well.

Please what is the job title or vacancy?

It wasn't a full time job but consultancy

Dangote! Nigeria's biggest indigenous company, asking candidates to bear the cost their fare! Smaller companies abroad do refund transport fare to candidates but our own dangote will not.

The story looks fake to me. There is no multinational company in Maiduguri except international NGOs. Didn't she know that she was going to Maiduguri and yet, passed through the difficult and stressful recruitment of a multinational?

I passed through an NGO recruitment of which I was supposed to be based in Abuja but they later changed it to Damboa. I declined, despite the huge reward. I would have accepted if it was to be in Maiduguri.

Ojukwu was a complete disaster to the Igbo nation. He fought the war for his own glory, pride and grand-standing. I agreed that there were persecutions but going out all war with a side far more stronger and well equipped was more of a sucide mission, couple with his sturbboness, non acceptance by most western nations and his me alone attitude.
The way he jettisoned the wise advise of Biafra intellectuals within his own government was well documented. He never listened to the likes of Professors Kenneth Dike, Eni Njoku, Eyo Ita, Ogbechie, Ezimora and even MI Okpara and Dr . Nnamdi Azikiwe.
There was a leaked memo from the Biafra civilian members of the government, asking him to relinquish the political leadership of Biafra and focus on the military wing so that Professor Eni Njoku could lead the new political leadership, which may bring in new vibes, as secessionist war is usually won through diplomacy and international support but Ojukwu got upset and wanted to arrest the conspirators.

The black man will sell a factory, convert it to a church to pray for jobs.

Apt. Some of the warehouses in Isolo industrial estate, Lagos have sold to redeem church and Christ embassy and people go there to pray for job where as the churches in Aberdeen, UK, where I schooled have been sold to business people and they converted them to pubs, bakery, furniture workshop and shared office spaces. I worked in one of the bakeries sef.

To be honest, the architect and the contractor tried ghan. This is unlike Nigerian. I was expecting to see the usual Nigerian style with no landscaping and left over building materials litter the whole premises. Well done. Nice structure.

somehow:
Okay, I understand.

Sure, when one get older, climbing stairs become a chore but medically speaking, homes with stairs help elderly people stay fit. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6359596/)

I understand but wouldn't want to have one in my build at old age. The same way I don't like step up or step down in any part of my living room. I like everywhere to be same and flat. There are other ways one could exercise outside climbing and coming down of staircase.

michlins:
actually things are getting worse in that regards. In a typical Igbo setting, the grown up son will build his own house and will visit you for a few hours and then leave with his family who will be residing at a nearby BNB apartment

Well explained. There are always hotels near by. I paid visit to my former neighborh in main land, yesterday. The daughter and kids are in Nigeria for Christmas from UK. They are not living with grandpa but staying in a nearby hotel, just a working distance. They stroll from the hotel to grandpa house to gist and return back to their hotel.

somehow:
What's wrong with duplex?

Nothing bro. Just personal choice. I am a minimalist to the core and like things to be minimal and modern. My current build is a duplex and it is because of family. The house is designed in such a way that it could be repurposed later into mini flats for letting when my kids must have taken flight off my care.

My bungalow would be a retirement house without the discomfort of staircase. Just for me and madam. Personal decision.

Launching a business in Nigeria is always fun-filled and thrilling. The mood changes after like six months without any visible patronage and sky rocketing operating expenses. I have been there.

This is a black mamba bro. Just see it's mouth. People should find time to watch Simon Keys and his girlfriend, Suzzy on NatGeoWide, Snake in the city. You will get to know and understand various types of snakes.

Car wash boys and mechanics could be stupid with people's car. To even drop the key of 2010 corolla wey I dey manage with them is a problem talk more of this classic Benz.

Stupid people; stupid belief system; stupid thinking; stupid religious people; stupid acting; poor birds

Solar is bae. I wished every Nigerian could afford it. Sometimes, when I see how we are wasting God-given sunlight here, I marveled. Once the sun is shining and the heat is on, my appliances are operating at maximum capacity, with freezer oozing out its snowish smoke. Nothing like renewable natural, clean energy in a home.

All these rich men mounting gigantic mikano and John holt generators should help themselves with solar and sleep peacefully without generator.

Yah, this is the video, i was told to keep it low, but what can i do, was called for the finishing stage.

I admire your works bro. You are doing very well.

BrickDevo:
Finishing work going well

Excellent! My love for gigantic windows? Burglaries always distorts the beauty.

One of our completed projects this year..

Is that white sofa there fabric or leather? Is there a way of getting original pure white velvet fabric? Most white materials are in leather or artificial rubber. I need pure white velvet.

I blame IPOB for this. This should have been somewhere in the East with all the money spent there but the troubling insecurity has made lots of diasporans to remain abroad. Some that dare to come back are hold up in choice apartments and hotels in Lagos for the Christmas.

I know two weddings in my village that were supposed to hold this Christmas but the celebrants have cancelled all that and informed us that their traditional marriages would now hold in Houston, where they are based. There are always long term effects of insecurity and violent crimes.

Typical affluent Nigerian mentality - Do you know who I am

Why are the sons of this Moroccan king looking funny? Morocco has been following Buhari up and down just for him to drop his support for the Arab republic of Zawahi. I hope i got the name. The territory in the Western sahara desert republic in Morocco fighting for independence.

President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister then arm-twisted the king to recognize the state of Israel and in return, both Countries recognized Moroccan right over the whole of the Western Sahara desert republic much to the dismay of African Union and ECOWAS. In international politics, no permanent enemy but permanent interest. Buhari should use Nigeria's position to get more diplomatic victories as Morocco needs Nigeria more in its conflict with the secessionist western sahara desert republic.

Zubby is only good in acting all this cultist films. He isn't versatile.
When you wanna mention actors today, you call the likes of Stan nze, Fredrick Leonard, wole ojo, Felix omokhodion, Blossom chukwujekwu etc

I don't even know all these people you mentioned. The truth is that the standards and quality of actors and production have gone down. I hardly watch Nollywood except if I am in a hotel and may be, finds myself in the reception area, which normally shows Nollywood

I was a fan in the 90s through the mid 2000 when those actors I mentioned held sway. These days, I just waka pass. I cant even mention any current actor or actress in the Nollywood unlike in the mid 90s through 2000s that I knew practically all of them.

This local actor! I don't know why I don't find him interesting to watch. My opinion though

The time of Clem Ohameze, Emmanuel Udokwu, Amaechi Muonago, Osuofia, Emeka Ike, Noah, Jide Kosoko, Kanayo, Kenneth Okonkwo and so many other great male actors in the past were interesting to watch

Yes. It is taxable. The new Personal Income Tax Amendment Act 2011 has now brought everything under the tax net. As long as the expenses were incurred on behalf of staff, the monetary equivalent should form part of the staff total emoluments for any relevant year and tax accordingly.

Imagine if he had won the election, would the court still have given this judgement?

Not up to 10% of the money would be paid back. People see CBN intervention funds as avenue to chop their own national cake.

NGO work reward is good. However, they only select those already working with them or those with UN experience. This I can tell you for free. Very difficult to enter except through recommendation by well connected insider. Otherwise, the post is usually filled by those working in the organization already but may be in different department but wants to switch to another department.
