PoliticsRe: "SPDC Forcado 48 Exportline Bombed At 3am" - Niger Delta Avengers by gabicon: 9:05am On Jun 03, 2016
This is what we get when we allow tugs and terrorist plunder our treasury.the question is not why they are bombing but who is sponsoring them.

For those supporting NDA, it's important to note that every Geo political zone is an extension of our collective nationhood, if you are getting peanut from your state same will translate in a secession state. The problem of the Niger delta is not the north, it's her leadership. The same spillage we accused the gov n IOC's of is same parts our liberator are towing.

The problem in the Niger delta is leadership, as much as I want resource control, the question begging to be answered is who controls the resources. The militant, the people, opportunist, or criminals? The people are first of all off the table and no development can occur without a translation of the people from poverty to prosperity.

princey83:
I would try my best to answer some of your questions being that I am a married person as well, and we have our own worries and concerns.

I find it hard to understand what you mean by juicy job posting. The kind of jobs you would find vary from province to province. e.g Toronto in Ontario is the financial hub of Canada while Calgary, Alberta is the engineering room of Canada for (O&G) atleast before the crash in price of crude.

Canada is not a country known for many jobs. it's a country with a large number of educated citizens, and the population is just around 35million. It's a small country with large mass land, most of which are inhabitable. Hence jobs are competitive and man know man is quite common. Alot of people volunteer unpaid to get Canadian work experience and to build professional network, something employers here value a lot. i.e Canadian work experience.


It's not easy to school and support family in any developed country in the world irrespective of whether you are pr, citizen or Nigerian.. It's only easy back home in Nigeria because there are families, neighbors, and school that accepts kids even from less than 6 months of age. In Canada like most developed countries, your child has to be a certain age before any daycare would accept him/her(differs by province), daycares are expensive $850-1000 per month per child), your kid has to be age 4-5 to start half day at school(usually like 3-4hours of school in a day). If you can afford to bring one of your grandma from Nigeria, then you would find it easy or you are rich enough to afford daycare fees or one of the parent stays at home to babysit.

Jobs in high demand would always be healthcare careers. All other jobs fluctuates when the economy sneezes. Note that health professions can still also still affected by the economy. e.g Saskatchewan is reducing the budget for health care and education, hence there might be an hiring freeze. There is an abundance of nurses in Alberta, hence supply of nurses is becoming higher than demand. So really, no condition is permanent.


if you can both afford studying for MSc at once, then go for it.
thanks for a detailed reply i'm educated.

hello guys

My wife and I are thinking of relocating to Canada thru applying for an msc. I would like to know what states have the most juicy job postings?

I tend to see more of volunteer jobs as recent jobs on most peeps, is it that there are not so many jobs again?

Is it easy schooling and supporting a family in Canada?

What profession are in high demand?

Is it advisable we both get an msc at the same time?

Economies are like investments they take time to mature, the more you invest the more the growth the less you invest the closer to death. Yar adua n GEJ enjoyed the economic investments of OBJ but failed to build on it and now the OBJ investments have been spent and are tired n dey need rest and more investments to survive.T he only reason GEJ looked good was oil price, $100 if the oil market had crashed 18 months b4 he left office he would have been crucified like PMB. PMB knew the state of the economy and should have jumpstart it pending when investment reinforcement will arrive. To be frank there were a lot of things expected like the continuation of the adeshinas agriculture revolution. Secondly I'm disposed to the wisdom of the old folks but I would prefer the energy and idea of the youths, Adeshina proved that in GEJ admin, fresh ideas.
Well let's buckle up it going to get tougher, if you don't know God as ur provider I suggest you do as this whole episode continue till next year the good news is things will start eaiseing out this time next year.

Scholes007:
They should include similar IVM product into this too. ITC did it,ebotrans did, abia line is doing it, Nigeria army did it and I believe lagos transport will do.
We can't afford to patronise IVM simply because it's naija assembled ivm needs to do aggressive marketing. drive from ojota to VI how many adverts or sales point of ivm do you see? How many of kia or Nissan, or Toyota do you see? People buy what they see that's why companies run adverts on TV n bill boards. As we speak I don't know a location to purchase an ivm vehicle but I know of kia Peugeot Nissan n ford Benz. If ivm doesn't give the public a taste of what they have to offer no one will take them serious.

How dare you quote Premium Times to me as your source for economic facts.

Premium Times is a tabloid, not a source for real economic facts.

I suggest you get an education to help you know the difference between external DEBT and Total debt stock that includes Domestic DEBT.

Stop embarrassing yourself with your half-baked knowledge.

Gosh!

This is a trend in Nigeria and it gets worse now that the economy is taking a break. In as much as I sympathise with the students the government can pay salaries of people at home not to talk of abroad with all our forex complexity. This same trend was what started the Yahoo Yahoo thingy during shagaris government. My advice to students is that they go and work I know a lot of people in UK who saw themselves through school working multiple jobs in the summer, holidays breaks, and 20hrs per week. The chances of tuition payment is slim in the present economic reality the sooner you get a job the better.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Is Guinness Nigeria Plc Downsizing? by gabicon: 9:22am On Apr 17, 2016
I will make reference to Dangote who said the reason why he isn't really affected by the fx crunch is that 85% of what is required to run his cement factory are gotten in Nigeria the remaining 15 is used to pay foreign experts and buy rare raw materials. The present situation is meant to stimulate local content companies like Guinness need to create an oppounity stimuli for the raw materials they need locally thereby decreasing cost of production. Same goes to other coys they have been in Nigeria too long to be importing what we can produce locally that is one way to create jobs and when income earners generally increases there is increases customers, it's a win win for coys. Local content is key to growth.

InvestmentRe: Are Banks Legally Supposed To Charge Parallel Rate For Online Transactions? by gabicon: 2:46pm On Apr 01, 2016
The problem is that banks are not making as much money as they did a year ago due to the downturn of the economy. So how do they pay their bills n salaries? they get dollars from CBN at Offical rates and sell at the Offical rate according to the books, but instead they sell at parallel market price the differential is what they use to supplement bills likes salaries and utilities. Are CBN aware of this development? Yes I believe so, but they choose to be silent because the books says Offical price and secondly they may have to choose between the present arrangement and the banks underperforming which will lead to flood of sack letters. You can get d dollar at Offical rate if you are bringing in stuffs that will enhance export like farm implement etc.

Back to the rice sharing, fayose is a smart politician, with a mantra get the people's stomach you get their support thats why till date he is still the most loved govonor in ekiti unlike fayemi speaking big grammar to hungry stomach. By the way any state that replicates this project will be greeted by a mammoth followership.

Exactly sir, the reason dangote is not complaining of dollars is simply because over 70% of his raw material are locally sourced he doesn't need to import heavily. I believe my Igbo brothers can do better than him if they change their strategy.
