You have been blabbing since yet has said nothing concerning what is being discussed, aren't you showing the world you are empty and just looking for something to fill yourself?

Prove to me that I am wrong from the law book that governs the game and stop all these noise.
In association football (soccer), the term "dead ball" refers to a situation when the ball is not in play, e.g. when play has not been restarted after the ball has gone out of bounds or a foul has been committed. It also applies before each kick-off, either at the start of each half or after a goal has been scored. In a dead ball situation, players can position the ball with their hands prior to restarting play. Furthermore, even though the ball is not in play, the referee may still issue cautions or ejections (yellow or red cards) for any incident that occurs off the ball. Fouls, on the other hand, can occur only while the ball is in play.

You are making a real fool of yourself here. But then, that is typical Nigerian short man syndrome. When you are so insecure and have such an inferiority complex that you cannot accept that you are wrong, even during an anonymous internet conversation. Because this is probably the only place in your life where you can talk back to anyone and pretend to be in the know.

HealthRe: UCTH Casual Workers Protest 14 Months Unpaid Salaries by GEJPosterity: 8:46am On Dec 23, 2016
In Nigeria, you just can't win. To get a job is a job on its own. To get paid is a problem.

Even if you are self employed and run your own business, clients will owe you up and down even worse than when you are an employee being owed salaries. I myself am a living witness to this. To get the client is stress. To make them commit to a project is a marathon event. To get them to approve your work after going back and forth several times is war. Then after all that, when it is time to pay, they will start clearing their throat and speaking English. Many of them will just ignore you altogether and pretend you don't exist. When you call, it's their receptionist that will answer. When you send emails, no reply.

Then after several weeks they will pay like 25% of what they are meant to pay and then dump another impossible assignment and deadline on your head, linking the payment of your outstanding to the delivery of this new project. I did this merry go round for most of 2016 before I looked in the mirror one day and saw a patch of shiny white hair on my 26 year old head. Then I realised I was literally dying, and for what? So now I'm back to paid employment but processing my Canadian permanent residency.

I think it's time we stop pretending to ourselves and accept that Nigeria is a dying country running a poverty economy. There is no way out. The best thing anyone can do for themselves right now is to get out. This place is hell itself.

One of the worst things an employee or worker can face is working and not being able to access their salaries.

This is one of the advantages of working for yourself. You call the shots, you dont have to wait on anyone to get paid. There should be a law that restrict workers from being owed salaries. It can be very painful

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Returnee Graduates Struggle As Employers Snub Foreign Degrees by GEJPosterity: 8:33am On Dec 19, 2016
BusinessAnalyst:
You are right but I just wanted to correct the notion that returnee graduates are finding it difficult to secure jobs in Nigeria. My point is if those that attend IVY league schools in US, UK and Canada decide to return, high profile jobs would be easily secured by them. To correct your notion on Birmingham being far ahead of some of our best unis here, I disagree with that sir. Birmingham, Portsmouth and the likes are not usually meant for the best brains. Those unis are there for money only not minding the brain.
Dude stop OK? Just stop. Even the University of East London is decades ahead of Nigeria's best university, private or public. There is no basis whatsoever for the comparison. Whether in terms of global rankings or facilities or research or infrastructure or technical development, Nigerian universities cannot even compete with those from Egypt and South Africa.

When I arrived in the UK, I myself had to learn to stop the constant comparison game because it only results in sadness and it is a symptom of that Nigerian inferiority complex to always try to compare and measure against others even when there is no basis whatsoever for the comparison.

No one is saying that British graduates are better or more intelligent than Nigerian graduates. Human potential is always separate from environmental situations. But the simple fact of the matter is that a student at a UK university receives a standard of education that is immensely superior to that of a Nigerian university student. I have been through both environments so I can make this judgment even on a personal level.

@Post

I laugh when I hear Nigerians talk about starting a business in Nigeria, a country were things like power supply and water is still scarce in many places. Since I moved back to Nigeria, I have watched how bulldozer will show up at one's shop/business and destroy everything in a matter of minutes without any forewarning. Nigeria does not keep an active database where people can check to see whether a property was built on a piece of land illegally. After paying the rent for the shop, one day, it gets torn down with the twinkle of an eye. Look at what happened to a business called Nuli Juice in Lagos. The young lady who owned the business had a vision and invested lots of money into the business just for it to be demolished with no notice given before hand. I have attached pictures of the business in question. Now imagine the many businesses we do not get to hear about that get demolished everyday with no advance warning and all that investment money down the drain. Even large corporations are running away from Nigeria because the ease of doing business in Nigeria is not there. The environment is not conducive except for very hardened people.

I would definitely become an entrepreneur but not in Nigeria. One has to be extremely aggressive in personality to succeed in Nigeria. It is no wonder life expectancy in Nigeria is so low - a measly 52 years - when other countries have a life expectancy rate of 80 years and above. I am not trying to die before my time. I can only succeed as an entrepreneur in a conducive environment where there is structure, law and order. I have no strength to start going crazy when NEPA again does not give light once dry season comes in January and fuel marketers go on strike thereby causing artificial fuel scarcity and plunging people into darkness.

So many businesses have left Nigeria and moved to Ghana and other neighboring African countries because Nigeria's government policies do not favor small and medium business owners. Not everyone has the strength and tenacity to survive as an entrepreneur in a rugged terrain like Nigeria where common electricity is not even available most times. Some government officials will keep harassing business owners for bribe and what have you. I am leaving Nigeria again soon God willing because I yearn to live long in a sane clime where access to uninterrupted power supply and water is a piece of cake and government policies favor business owners.

As for those who studied abroad, don't make the mistake of coming back to Nigeria. That will be the biggest mistake you will make except of course your father/mother happens to be a politician or successful pastor of a mega church. I don talk my own.
My brother, if not that I met my wife during NYSC, I would have said that coming back to Nigeria was my worst mistake ever. Just as well we decided not to have kids for now, or else I don't want to imagine how much of a logistical problem it would be to emigrate.

As it is, we are putting a few things in place so we can apply for our Canadian permanent residency and get out of this place by next year. One lesson I have learnt here is to never project my mindset onto Nigerians, I.e never imagine that what I want is also what they want. This nightmare wasn't created by Buhari or whatever - it was created by Nigerians who saw the country moving in the right direction and decided they wanted to return to 1983. For as long as they are like this, there can be no progress.

I used to have a very active handle here encouraging diasporans to come home and invest but my god, this past year has taught me! Hopefully by August 2017 this nightmare will be permanently over. And when we leave, we may never ever come back. I would even prefer to visit Ghana than spend a minute here again.

I guess the best antidote to Nigerian patriotism is to spend a few years here.

Word of advice to anyone looking for a job - stay well away from anything fronted by any of those ex-Jumia guys. Whether it is ACE or Supermart or that new online bank that the two ACE guys are launching - stay well away! First of all, they are time wasters who are ALWAYS recruiting. If you are unfortunate enough to actually get a job at any of these places, your problems are just beginning.

They have opening times, but no closing times. You can't leave the office before oga even if it is 6.30pm. But you must resume by that 8.30am unfailingly. You will have no defined job description - you can find yourself inside a warehouse stacking packages or behind a Chicken Republic counter. There is zero internal structure and the pay is as average as average can get. They even still delay your pay sometimes,and their salary calendar is funny - payment in the middle of the month instead of at the end, so that people will not resign apparently.

The working environment is also toxic and very political, which is what you expect anywhere there is low morale and no job security. Everyone wants to do eye service for oga and backstab you if possible to get ahead. People are always resigning and if you manage to stay for 6 months, you will likely be one of the "senior" employees there because the turnover is absolutely ridiculous.

Those ex-Jumia guys are what HR people call "Professional professionals". They specialise in padding their cvs with big titles and descriptions which they use to land big positions or capture investor confidence when raising capital for their endless retinue of "startups". Jumia CEO today, ACE co-founder tomorrow, Supermart CEO the day after that...

Just stay away and get an actual job except you are fresh from school and you need something on your cv.

PoliticsRe: Buhari Hails “chief Amaechi” For Abuja Railway Completion. by GEJPosterity:
Simple truth is not in the lips of a Nigerian.

But that's not my business or even Buhari's business.

Buhari and his "administration" are just honest trolls laughing themselves to sleep every night at the fact that Nigerians actually put them in Aso Rock voluntarily.

Whatever happens doesn't bother them because whether Nigerians live or die of starvation does not change their figurative price of garri. The looting and ethnic retrogression currently going on under everyone's noses is epic and unprecedented. But they know nobody will even notice because they can send out a statement saying they discovered a billion dollars in someone's farm or they have just "completed" a train line which has been fully laid since 2014, and being the congenitally foolish, petty and slow people Nigerians are, they will start quibbling with each other over it.

So they are paying some people a few pennies to troll and tell shameless lies on their behalf, and those ones too are happy to carry a politician's underwear because of some little change coming in.

Well it's not my business anyway. It's not like my life is affected either way. I have enjoyed the best the world has to offer on 3 different continents and I am living a life most Nigerians will never even aspire to before my 30th birthday. Unfortunately it seems that most Nigerians are very happy where they are. I used to feel very guilty for being born into privilege in a country with so much extreme poverty but well...maybe that's the way God has designated it.

Maybe some people are predestined to spend their lives eating sand and telling me "good morin sah". Who am I to interfere with God's plan?

Take it easy bro before you give yourself hypertension. The Zimbabwe currency got so bad that they had to cancel it. They had to print Z$ 100 trillion banknote. We are still using N1,000 note not Z$ 100 trillion banknote. You are just very ignorant. Don't kill yourself because of any political party. You might have HBP or Hypertension.

Zimbabwe Dollar
Overview

The Zimbabwean Dollar was the official currency of Zimbabwe from 1980 to April 12, 2009.

During that time, the currency suffered three massive redominations to deal with high face value paper denominations brought about by hyperinflation. At one point, a Z$ 100 trillion banknote was printed.
You're so dense that you don't understand that you have proven my point.

The article said the Naira is Africa's worst PERFORMING currency. You have confirmed that the Zim Dollar has been cancelled and is no longer traded so it does not perform at all whether good or bad. It is dead.

Which leaves the Naira as Africa's worst PERFORMING currency.

Dude please be quiet and quit embarrassing yourself in the name of defending a government that does not know you exist. Zimbabwe does not even use the Zimbabwe Dollar anymore, and they haven't done since 2009! They use a basket of currencies including South African Rand and US Dollar.
By April 2009, the Zimbabwe dollar was suspended indefinitely. The government has adopted a multiple currency framework which includes the Australian Dollar, Botswana Pula, British Sterling Pound, Chinese Yuan, Euro, Japanese Yen, Indian Rupee, South African Rand, and United States Dollar
