Yes. Anything math-based is STEM.

Where is Physiotherapy, pharmacy and Radiography? Op, you missed these lucrative professions too
Good professions, but not exactly high paying but better than most professions out there. Stable employment is certain.

I am curious o, those who said you can enjoy Nigeria when there is money, do you still hold that view? Remember, there are other black-dominated countries where fuel scarcity is non-existent. So, the notion of being where people who look like you doesn't hold.

Modern day slavery.

So they are not allowed to aspire beyond a particular status in society?
They can, but not on that visa.

What is that, if not modern slavery.

It's the same happening in so called saner societies, but they know how to cloak it in more diplomatic niceties and systemic limitations.

Modern day slavery, where the slaves are the ones exporting themselves to be enslaved. Where you are not fit to exist in the country, except you stick to your given status in society.

Modern day slavery!!!
Then stay in your country. Don't go elsewhere!

Good. Rules are rules. These are some of the reasons many countries with low fertility rates in Asia are wary of Africans. Thais go there, work, learn and move back to Thailand. Vietnamese do the same. Even Filipinos follow the laid-down rules.

Rules are rules. Follow them accordingly.

You are correct. Those that studied courses with high math's and quantitative contents tends to perform better with job hunting because of their numeracy skills. You cant take away maths skill in today's job hunting. My former boss always made it clear to the HR that he needed people that are "very comfortable with numbers". That's the kind of people he likes hiring.
And they get the best jobs because the high paying jobs are math based. Think oil workers, tech, high finance and even sales. The reason for my signature.

There is nothing like "high" paying courses in Nigeria. Read your respective courses and graduate with good 2.1 or first class. Then, proceed and develop your data skills, quantitative and mathematical skills, writing skills, job search skills, networking skills and street smart skills, You may not be far from achieving modest success in your job hunting.
This is a better summary. But I am inclined to say that those who study math-based courses are better positioned to get good jobs faster than those who don't. Anyone can develop those attributes you mentioned with relative ease, but not so for learning mathematical skills after tertiary education.

If I mention some courses here, I don't think some people have heard about them...

Broooo.... The course dey pay like mad.. enough export from Nigeria working as expertraits outside the shores of Nigeria... Earning dollars...

Computer Science is not about MS Word o. It is data structures and mathematics. It is not by knowing MS Word a Comp Sci grad would get a job. It is the ability to know data structures and algorithms that matter. The alternatives to Comp Sci are Physics and Mathematics.

If you want a high-paying job regardless of the industry, study a math-based course. The more calculations and numbers a course has, the higher its chances of being lucrative. Also, if you plan to relocate from Nigeria, the math-based course gets more job opportunities and funding.

Someone will just come out from nowhere and start posting rubbish
Petroleum Engineering?? Studying it is also dfrnt frm owing an oil well
Someone who studied Geology has high chances of getting job in an oil firm than petroleum Engineering...d course is over hyped

Electrical Engineering... there's supposed to be availability of vacancies for this profession but companies comes up with unrealistic conditions as requirements
Some schools wont ever teach u AutoCAD and other packages associated with the course, after graduation, u go out and start with domestic wiring
This country is messed in fact
To be fair, their chances are equal in getting a job in an oil company. The Pet Engr person even has more opportunities in the downstream sector of the petroleum industry compared to the Geology individual.

However, Elect/Elect is better than both courses.

Please experienced elders come and offer your 2cent for this situation.

rom a colleague too she even suggested to go ahead and acquire our certificate but I told her that it will be marriage by proxy. Especially if I don't leave Canada at the time, it will be issued and Canada doesn't recognise proxy marriages. Hence, if we apply anything with that certificate it may backfire.

The constant pressure to do something about our reunion is not helping issues at all. Please if you have any suggestion that may help us, we are willing to listen.
I have no stake in this, but I find it very distasteful that a woman I want to marry does not trust me in a project that concerns both of us and would benefit us.

Obviously, I cannot advise you what to do, but if I were you, I know what to do.

In fact if the governor had his priorities right, money needed elsewhere should not have been used to repair the bridge. The river isn't wide in that section, people can jump across.
But you are residing in the United States enjoying quality infrastructure but recommend jumping across, even though someone on the first page suggested laying a shipping container. Apparently, even those in the abroad aren't any different. You're no different from freed slaves who wrecked Liberia.

Tomorrow, should you join APC, people would wonder what went wrong.

What is thishuh I thought nobody paid any property tax in Nigeria? It's called Land Use Charge in Lagos State and it sounds exactly as I thought it would...it's a charge for using the land!

So why would anyone in Lagos claim they don't pay anything to government for their property? I have some theories.

Very interesting thread.

Good Luck to Nigeria.
I think so far in Nigeria, only the Lagos state government and maybe Abuja City Council charge property taxes in a way. Other states don't charge the same and IF they do, it is a one-time stuff. The thread in the link above proves you right. Where are those folks who argued with you in the UK thread sef?

That said, the headline and statements by officials of the Lagos state government simply mean the majority of real estate investments in the Lekki axis are null and void and can be demolished at any time. So, every day we read and hear "buy land and build in Lekki blah blah blah", we now know that 80% of the buildings are illegal. Nigerians in the diaspora should take note.

How una dey fvck before bathing dey surprise me o.



But yes, I am inclined to believe that married women have odour-free vaginas than single ladies, all things being equal. The hypothesis is that they - to a large extent - have sex with one partner. The sex might not be frequent sef as she could have issued a sex timetable to her husband. She does not put kini kon chemical or soap or spray whatnot there periodically. As the vagina was in January, so would it be in June. Shey na one person dey access am? He would meet it the same way he left it.

I wont advise your brother to study in Russia. Russia at the moment is literally cut off from the world. If it's an undergraduate, its something you can risk but if it's further degrees I wont advise it.
Undergraduate is fair enough since it is largely free. Afterwards, use the degree to find something to do in either South Korea or Japan. China should be the last option if those two fail as the competition is fiercer there. He should not bother to continue life even if one fine Russian woman tempts him. He is a black African, economics first. Any Russian woman wey wan dey with you should agree to leave the country to any of those places I listed.

Foreign AffairsRe: Multipolarism Versus Hegemonism - The Great Power Shift Of The 21st Century by Gerrard59(m): 2:36am On May 07, 2024
The EU opened an inquiry, most likely at the behest of her American masters, to check if the allegations of over-production and subsidises are true of the Chinese EV companies and products. However, the same EU is antsy that China would target its agricultural sector and want it to be separated from any retaliation.

Fortunately, China is not a country that can be tossed around or told what to do. China does what is good for the country. Nothing like bombing or ousting its leaders as done elsewhere. Mind you, the EU agricultural industry receives one of the highest degree of subsidies just as its American counterparts. South Americans, literal cousins of Europeans, have been negotiating entry into the EU market for over 20 years to no avail. Yes, elder brother no gree him cousin to sell his agricultural products in his territory. How much more someone he enslave and plundered his resources? However, the EU is investigating China's EV industry, but does not want the Chinese to do the same for its agricultural industry. Masters of Do As I Say, not As I Do.

Well, thankfully, not with the Chinese.

Treadway:
brozay, this one no enter

The Hausa Fulani practices right to inquiry (the things they inquire about fit just dey worrthless and disappointing), they enjoy personal freedoms (too much freedom even, they get away with things we won't dare do in the south), the right to choose (they enjoy and brag about this one sef, even though no be sensible choices), right to criticize (they can even burn you or slit your throat with no consequence in broad daylight if you be Christian, elite or not).

They enjoy these rights, but are too dumb to use it in any way that is empowering, even to them. Do they criticize their leaders who pauperize them? No, not cos they can't, but they don't even have the sense or will to, but sprinkle a little religion and see that they know damn well how to exercise these rights.
If they practice or support at least half of those factors, how come Southern Nigeria is more prosperous than Northern Nigeria? Groups who practice those factors become prosperous over time. Something must be amiss somewhere.

I have seen you write about dominance of one tribe as necessary for national growth peacefully.
Are we not dominated by the Hausa-Fulani and yet we are so backward huh
There are certain traits an ethnic or racial group or culture should espouse for economic development to thrive seamlessly. Some of which are:
- Pragmatism, not dogmatism
- Right to inquiry
- Right to criticise and to be criticised
- Protection of private property
- Support for free enterprise
- Personal freedoms in most aspects of human existence.
- The right to choose

Between the Han Chinese and Hausa-Fulani, which group supports/espouses/promotes/practices at least four of those factors?
