Naira as a currency is dead.... Imagine $200m=#39.4bn.


If i may add, its about time our state governors start thinking towards improving IGR.

Who is Hamidu Ali?

The ban on mini skirt within campus is a good one but reducing the numbers of fellowship is outrightly unacceptable. Its an infringement on the students fundamental human right.

Smart brains have been replaced with smart phone.

No way.... Its not possible

I hate anything called bank.... To hell with banking.

Though I would never have rejected a well paid job. But when it was not forth coming I had to make use of every opportunity available for me. I finished my National Diploma in 2007 at Petroleum Training Institute (Industrial Safety and Environmental Engineering Technology), Effurun (Best Student of my class). I was not so determined at applying for jobs and I never did. Rather I applied for Industrial experience which was easier to get than employment. I started with Environmental Health Office in 2007. After one year I moved to Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) -still industrial experience.

When I completed my experience I stayed back as a casual staff where I was preparing to get admission back to school for my Bachelor's degree. I had admission in 2010 to study Chemical Engineering in UNIUYO, through UME - not even direct entry.

I hussled, did weekend home lesson, registered a consulting business and did minor consulting services in downstream Petroleum Sector. In my sophomore year I won the PTDF scholarship for my programme. Within the five years, I went back to DPR for more six months industrial experience and Exxonmobil for another six months experience. Now I am a graduate with experience (graduated best in my class with 4.40 CGPA). Looking ahead.

I'm not so much moved with applying for jobs - though would not hessitate to get a good offer that would come on merit. I'm planning to make the consulting business I registered more organised with full incorporation. I picked interest in Organic oils, Soap, and Detergent in my undergraduate - had done a project on that.

I'm now working on raising money to setup a plant for production of these products. Presently i'm partnering with a collegue and we are running an evening school. I have always approached life with a positive mindset. Though not too rich (financially) right now but i'm not begging. Sponsored myself successfully through out my degree. Built a mini flat in my father's compound and have a great wealth of experience in life and career. I believe my story can be of encouragement to someone.




I think we have something in common. I graduated from a prestigious university with a 2.1 & i rounded my nysc about two years ago but I've never been interested in writing aptitude test or going for an interview. I started off a business immediately after my nysc and i can tell you God has been faithful. Though i was under great pressure from family & friends to get a job.

Can someone please explain to me why people (especially girls) keep taking airplane food out of the aircraft? Aero, Medview, First nation and a couple other airlines always serve with some kind of 'take-awa' pack, but should people have to take these packs away out of the airplane like uncultured men, carrying them about the airplane like they are some party gifts?


Y u dey spew rubbish? Its no man's business.

Honeymoon for Barbados go make sense na? Make i research sharply.

I have a drama rehearsal.

MY TAKE ON THIS:
Firstly, life is a warfare & you must fight to WIN. you shouldn't have gone back to him after the first abortion.
Since ur parents can afford to pay ur fees then u have no reason to stay under that man's roof. I believe u're a Christian & u belong to a christain fellowship in ur sch. Almost all students fellowship has a general family house. Go to the president of ur fellowship explain ur situation to dem & i believe they will accommodate u there.
You can also get a part time job to support yourself (i don't want to hear there are no part time job in my sch as excuse ). The only reason dat may still keep u under dat man's roof could be dat u enjoy sex with him. Please don't give up, don't take your life & open up to some responsible persons around u. Keep fighting & keep winning. Above all, fear God & be prayerful.

Hmmm. . . I had that experience once with Folake, i met the biatch on Facebook and i later realized that she was not too far from my hood then we plan how we were gonna meet up. On that faithful day, in front of God and man, i had just N500 on me with the hope of spending just N400 for snacks and bottled water. . .

Exactly 5.30PM, i was awaiting her at the restaurant with a bottle of water on my table, sipping it with straw just like one mumu nairalander did the day he made a proposal to his babe.

Lo and behold, i saw Folake coming with gangs of friend just like Jesus Christ roaming the street of Jerusalem with his disciples. . . Jeeeez! I was dazed for some seconds and i thought within me, Orijin you have just N500 with you and you must feed these 7 hungry looking lions, what will you do?

Then i remembered the word of God which says "Blessed be to the servant whom applied wisdom", omo, na so i wisdomly sneak comot for the restaurant ooo. . .
Few minutes later, my phone started ringing, behold! It was Folake, and she was like, I'm already there, where are you? I replied, i will be with you in a jiffy, order the foods and drinks on me. . . The she-diot and her friend stupidly did that, 30 minutes later, my phone rang again but i declined her call and i replied her with a message saying "GOD PUNISH YOU!!!!!" switched off phone. . .
