Well done FG. This guy has constituted himself a nuisance and so sad that some brain washed idiots are supporting him.

Soylife:
Thinking of how hot those places will be just made me remember my time in futo,that school's sun is something else. Just walk for ten minutes under the sun and you are already sweating heavily.

The problem with FUTO then was that there were no ornamental trees planted by road side at that new permanent side. Roads were constructed through swathes of low lying bushes.

When trees adorns large swathes of land like FUTO, even with intense sun, the effect will be minimal. FUTO is too open, with clear skies, pouring it's scorching sun on the earth, onto the concrete coaltar road, which is reflected back on the atmosphere, thus increasing the heat effect.

Planting of trees is one way of mitigating climate change and the adverse effects of the sun and the heat waves.

Alternative for Germany (AFD Party) is now set for land slide victory in the coming election. This kind of thing is what far right parties are praying for to happen so that they will capitalize on it to weep up sentiments against migrants.

"I hope and wish that this mail will find you in good health and spirit."[b][/b]

US official correspondences hardly begins with the above quote from the invitation. That writing above is Nigerian.

Nigerians will write and say, 'I hope and pray that this my mail meets you well'. If you are conversant with Nigerians style of writing, the above is a typical starting way. Oyibo hardly writes this way or ask you how was your night, weekend or family. They go straight to the point. They don't "pray that their mail finds you in good health or state of mind".

Our standards in this country in everything are terribly low! Tueh!!!

54k job and you want to resign??

Bro, Nigeria is tough o. For some, they are looking for that 54k job right now. What do you want to do exactly with graphic design? Wait on clients to come and pay you 2k for a design?

Hold on to that job and find a way of deepening your skills in any areas of Micro Finance. Be it SME, writing business proposals, financing a start up, treasury and accounting. From there, you could even apply to some NGOs and INGOs committed to supporting SMEs.

Most young people these days hardly have patience to work. I have the feeling that the job is taking away your freedom or you are not meeting up with the demands of your job and boss.

Thousands won't blink to take up a 50k job in Nigeria now. Please stay put in your job and give it your best.

My sympathy. Nigeria politics is about being a good party man and popular among the party stalwarts and delegates. Left to Peter Obi, he would have picked Maduka but the delegates had other motives.

Valentine Ozigbo is a veteran PDP man and has been funding the party, providing them with accommodation and other logistics at Transcop hotel, being the Managing Director then. Secodondus and PDP executives benefited greatly from Valentine Ozigbo during his tenure as MD of transcorp. Right from the time of Ali Modu Sheriff, Valentine Ozigbo as MD of Transcorp had started working with PDP top shots. He didn't even bother meeting the common people. He was based in Abuja, hatching his plans with the PDP Executives, which came with new delegates list. For Valentine Ozigbo to resign from Transcorp as MD to pursue his gubernatorial ambition is not a joke. He must have thought it out well.

He is Tony Elumelu's boy and Elumelu will be ready to bring his war chest to the table to support him. People would be shocked the level the man would go when the campaign starts.

Maduka should have waited and teamed up with APGA and learn the ropes under Soludo. He would be assured of the APGA's ticket in the next election in 2028. He would definitely move to APGA. That was how Soludo came to APGA. He saw that there was no chance for him in PDP, he joined APGA, even though, Peter Obi played a fast one on him then as well.

I feel sorry for him.

UK Cabinet members are sex starved. Tories are sexual predators hiding under the yoke of conservatism. Even Boris Johnson has been caught and he has no option than to secretly wed his lover about one month ago just before the G7 meeting.

These UK guys are nothing but hungry for action any time. Both their men and women. They are ready to off everything at the slighted opportunity. I experienced that as a care giver and hospital attendant in UK.

Fear their women, especially the oldies.

So this format never still cast for Naija? Next year, she will spread leg again and get belle and she go tell us say "God knows the best".

I don't know why high birth rate is common among the extremely poor and struggling families.

If you are struggling, please, focus on raising a lean family and not malnourished football team. I have no sympathy to give. Pay your bills madam.

I am still at a loss why this innocent and weak girl could over power the stern looking and amateur boxer like Ataga and stabbed him multiple times.

In abroad, she has good chances of escaping punishment with good lawyers and public sentiments. In Nigeria, she is convicted already by police and public trial.

She must have acted with others who actually carried out the stabbing.

How much is this product?

All these people that keep their mentally deranged relatives at home are taken big risk. One almost paid the price in my village in December when he came to open their gate for people without knowing that his mentally deranged senior brother was following him at the back with machete. It was the people in front of the gate that shouted before the man turned and saw his senior brother with machete approaching toward his direction.

Take your mentally deranged relatives to care home or hospital. Let them remain there

Primaries should be conducted between 10th of June to 1st July, 2021

I don't know where all these news about infringement on INEC guidelines are coming from

Below is extract of news from INEC site regarding the primaries:

6th June 2021

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has advised all political parties intending to sponsor candidates for the Anambra State Governorship election scheduled for 6th November 2021 to conduct valid primaries and nominate only qualified candidates for the election. It warned that legal action could be taken against any political party that submits the name of a candidate who falls short of the required qualification as stipulated by the law.

According to a statement issued at the end of its meeting held on 4th June 2021, the Commission reminded political parties participating in the governorship election to hold either direct or indirect primaries between 10th June and 1st July 2021. Every political party is also required to forward the name of the candidate who emerges with the highest number of votes to the Commission as the party’s candidate.

The statement, signed by National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee (IVEC), Barrister Festus Okoye, also affirmed that Sections 4.5(1) and (2) of the INEC Regulations and Guidelines for the Conduct of Political Party primaries requires political parties holding direct primaries to make the list of their members available for inspection by the Commission’s monitors, their aspirants and party members.

For parties holding indirect primaries, the statement partly reads: “the list of delegates must be made available to the Commission as well as aspirants at least seven days before the conduct of primaries. Similarly, Sections 9(1) and (2) of the same Regulations and Guidelines require political parties to make available to the Commission the list of aspirants seeking nomination to contest for elective offices and the list of members of the election committee of the party conducting the primaries.

The statement reads: “Political parties are enjoined to conduct valid primaries and avoid acrimonious, opaque and skewed primaries leading to avoidable litigation. To this end, parties must screen their candidates. A political party that submits to the Commission the name of a candidate who does not meet the qualification as stipulated in the law shall be guilty of an offence and may be proceeded against by the Commission.”

On the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council Election, the Commission will publish the List and Particulars of nominated candidates in their respective constituencies on 5th June.

It urged public members to check the published list on the Notice Board at any INEC Office in either the Constituency of Area Council where the candidate intends to contest.

Okoye said: “Any person who has reasonable ground to believe that any information given in the affidavit or any document submitted by a candidate is false may file a suit in court against such person seeking a declaration that the information contained in the affidavit is false. If the court determines that any of the information contained in the affidavit or any document submitted by that candidate is false, the court shall issue an order disqualifying the candidate from contesting the election.”

They should come and remove the ones at Badore/Ado road, Ajah. I still wonder who gives these women belle.

I pity those innocent kids. You are already handicapped and begging for survival and yet, you went ahead to get pregnant, compounding your problems even more. They should all be charged for child abuse. I have no sympathy to give.

Twitter stories and lies

I will report you all to Lai Mohammed and Malami for prosecution. Our darling president banned twitter and you people are having conversion about a post on twitter

Thenext:
Okay thank you. Please how did he charge for the installation and screeding?

His charge was for everything, including the screeding of the fascia and soffit

Thenext:
Please do we have anybody on this platform that is into the installation of the fibrecement fascia as shown in the attached pix.

Dominionng is the known expert in that space. He did mine and the outcome was good. He will give you option of either using wood or iron grid to hold the board to the roof. I opted for the iron grid, though more expensive, 3X the cost of using wood but the durability is assured against ferocious weather elements.

Don't please. Rather, get close to him and build an informal relationship. Any opportunity you have with him should be utilised well in discussing things that are of importance to him.

Decode what his interests are and channel your discussions towards that. Most importantly, know his business and what he does for a living and try to understand the workings of that area to aid in your informal discussion with him.

At the appropriate time, you can let the cat out of the bag and tell him your concerns and how you need his assistance.

Topmaike007:
you still get mind to associate with Nigeria for dining table, your death would have been top notch, but thank God that he saved you...

When are we going to protest again in Nigeria? Ndi Ara every little thing they will blame our buhari for even failing exam in class..

Now maybe we will blame FG for not restructuring Dubai this time..

My brother, I missed Nigerian dishes very well then. It was mostly during one birthday celebration or the other, especially from the ladies that we got opportunity to eat another quality Nigerian food. I wasn't a good cook then.

I hardly associate with my countrymen outside Nigeria. Even as a student in UK then, all my friends, project group and seminar teams were people of other nationalities. I deliberately avoided Nigerians. I associated with Nigerians during party times, get together and any occasion or opportunity to eat Nigerian dishes once again.

I am already working for a client, updating their payroll template to capture the recent finance act amendment. The stark result is reduced net pay for staff and increased PAYE. These are the money that would still be looted by corrupt government through frivolous award of contracts to cronies. Very soon, companies would be audited by the tax authorities based on the new finance act. Better comply to avoid being slammed interest and penalty.

Corruption is the most singular disincentive to tax payment by Nigerians. We have the believe that our taxes are not being properly used and so, there should not be any need to pay tax or increase the tax burden, which is right anyway.

Nigeria is just an interesting place. All these ten ways to do this and do that don't work here. The environment is so unforgiven to any struggling person or family and capable of distorting one's plan.

Bloggers will copy certain rules from foreign sites and post here and people will be saying "nice" as if those listings have not been tried and tested here before.

This docile senator!!! The worst ever after Victor Umeh, with his long deceptive red cap. Sleepy Victor.

There was so much excitement that Ifeanyi Uba would be a very vocal member of the Senate after his election. But sadly, the man is practically dormant, not moving, arguing or supporting any motion. Yet, he has the boldness to want to lay claim to the governor ship position.

Anambrarians should reject him asap. They have better choices between Soludo and the medical doctor from US.

All security personnel mounting road blocks in the South should move over to the North to cover the vast swath of land there. There are a lot of ungoverned spaces in the far North, yet greater percentage of law enforcement agencies are idling away in the South.

ThierryJay:
They were non executive directors and were not directly involved in the management of the bank but only there for corporate governance oversight. So they can only be accused of professional negligence but not criminal negligence.

well said! Bravo

Professional negligence as against criminal negligence. Good observation.

Prof. Pat Utomi and Kola are lucky. They were Board members of Bank PHB then. How did they escape being privy to what happened? Is it because they are influential or what?

Imagine the headlines if Pat Utomi was found guilty.

They should do something about the terrible traffic at the Ajah junction, Badore and Ajah to Lekki phase 1. That road is becoming hell now. There should have been a well designed alternative ways of navigating from Ajah to Victoria island.

Over population is not a resources. Population is out pacing the rate of economic growth in Nigeria and other African states. Yet, people will continue to give birth like rabbit hoping on an imaginary god to bring success to their kids in future

Population has to be properly managed to ensure modest economic growth. Un checked population is creating an army of idle and unskilled citizens, who would constitute nuisance to the growth and prosperity of the country.

I was passing through Badore, Ajah yesterday and saw many kids loitering around. These kids belongs to those mostly Northern women begin for alms. What does future holds for those kids as they are out of school?

Kai kai kai, Nigerian pastors - Ready to cash out at all cost. See how the supposedly buried bottle is looking new. Some of these pastors have destroyed a once loving families with their penchant to pitch brother against brother; family against family. Very common in the East.

make una dey try do clean work. una no dey see as oyibo people dey tile their own spaces? Attention to details would take any artisan further than experience.

Attention to detail is a scarce skills among artisans in Nigeria. I nearly landed hot slap on my tiller's apprentice. I was telling him how to make the finishing of the upper and lower part of the door tile areas look good and smooth. He was arguing with me saying "wetin I know for tiling work".

As a professional, if you are not ready to provide proper supervision, please don't take the job.

One funny question EgunMogaji2 usually ask contractor here is whether the person is involved in actually doing the job (hands-on) or whether he is a jobman/supervisor - those that collect jobs and sub-let to other unqualified people. There is nothing wrong with either the two o

Fake!! Fake as celebrities lifestyles. Those stoking the embers of hate would be consumed by it.

I applied for the Job and I was shortlisted for interview few days later I received the mail

Ok. If they specifically mentioned interview invite in the mail, then congratulations and get set for the call. It means your application has been reviewed by the recruiting manager and progressed to interview stage.

Did they state the date for the interview? Short listing is different from invitation for an interview. Invitation for an interview must indicate: date, time and venue. Are these three things in your email interview invite?

Short listing or long listing for an interview sometimes may be done by the HR or system generated. The recruiting manager finally selects applicants from among the short-listed to appear for the face to face interview. So, be sure of the one you got.

Most of the time, the system does the short or long listing of applicants based on certain parameters and codes which are embedded in the system to help it scan through thousands of Cvs and shortlist applicants. Those short-listed will get automated email beginning with: no-reply@....

Proper interview email is sent most times by a natural person with a known name from the company.
