Take your selective amnesia and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Nigeria politics is a bitter enterprise.

What did you say when Oba lil Wayne Akiolu threatened Igbos with lagoon if they didn't vote APC?

How do Obi's supporters act in the face of provocation? And why can't Obi supporters be the antagonists?

I would attack an enemy first before he he even reasons the matter!

My defense is attack.

this mentality of yours easily lose elections, your opposition is not as bitter as you think, they are only playing a game and you need smartness to outwit them and not bitter rants

these ones just want to travel for summer

is he ready to empty the church account for Obi to win the presidency? no be by mouth and noise o

Pakute:
You're going too far bro, can they try their madness in the North?.. If they try to impose another candidate against the choice of the Northerners, their heads will roll on a plate. But the liberalism and Education of the SW is really giving them a lot of room to misbehave.

Even the north has been tolerant with the Igbos, it's only religious issues that infuriates or provokes the north.

The issue in the SW is our love for peace because we understand the connection between that and economic prosperity.

They've always hated very strong or popular Yoruba politicians they can't compete with from awolowo to abiola, tinubu, fashola or osinbajo. These Yoruba politicians makes them feel small.

It's high time the Yorubas begin to think on how to handle properly the Igbo inferiority complex. What I feel more disturbing is how they insult and despise the Yoruba culture heritage or traditions. The Igbos are lucky to be in a tolerant African country like Nigeria. Most Africa countries or tribes can never coexist with the Igbos, it will be war upon war. I can imagine the Igbos doing all these in places like Congo, Rwanda, south Africa or other central or southern African countries, omo e no go funny.

The Igbo elites and more educated ones are the cause of all these. The always hide behind the uninformed ones because they too have this inferiority complex. The few ones that are bold enough end up being persecuted and silenced by uninformed majority.

Foundation should suffice but I’d advise you to get well versed with the Agile Methodology so you can sell this at job interviews, it’s pretty easy. Also this is unsolicited but I just thought to add as an added advice. if you don’t have any experience in Project Management, please volunteer as a Project Manager for any of these organisations looking for Volunteer Project Managers. That can help to boost your CV by a mile (don’t add that a voluntary role on the CV though, it should appear as a paid job). Finally, tailor your CV to look like you have a background in Project Management. Goodluck with your exam.

My advise or suggestion, because of his lack of experience around IT and so he doesn't try to struggle much understanding both the traditional project management and agile methodologies at the same time which can quite be a bit difficult for new learners from my experience as someone who also teaches agile, it's kind of safer for him to get grounded in project management fundamentals first and then volunteer as a project manager as you have advised before going to learn about agile but if he's mentally strong enough to learn both at the same time, then good for him. Just my thoughts.

yolkman20:
Thanks everyone for the input. I'll do the needful. I've worked as a warehouse & logistics manager/supervisor back home, so I feel that's enough to proof that I've got experience managing people (projects.)

@amarathriple0, I will research and apply for these voluntary roles, but I'd appreciate if you can share links or info about companies offering these voluntary roles.

I once got a volunteer product manager role from charityjob.co.uk. You can check it out and I think it's one of the sites amarathriple0 posted

Hello everyone,
I'm planning to write project management certification and I've decided to go for the prince2 certification. I'm confused which to choose between the prince2 agile and the normal prince2. I want to do the foundation course now and test waters before doing the practitioners. I see agile has prospect and many future opportunities as it's used mostly in the IT sector, unfortunately, I don't have any background in IT, so I feel it might be a setback.

Project managers here or anyone in the project management industry should please advise me. I'm planning to take the course before month-end. I'm tired of this survival jobs.

I will suggest you go for the normal prince 2 first to have a solid foundation around project management especially as prince 2 is still relevant in the job market for project manager roles and PMO roles. After you get your prince 2 and perhaps get a job with it, you can now go ahead and learn about agile, get certified and push ahead. If I were in your shoes this is what I will do rather than jump straight into the unknown especially since you said you have no experience in IT yet.

Hi all, I think I need a bit of encouragement. I moved to the UK on a student visa in December. Before relocating, I was doing quite well back home. Earned around 2-3m monthly profit after expenses from my business. In fact, I wanted to reward myself with a Range Rover Evoque (about 13m) then but Nigeria was in a bad state and I used up my savings to fund my relocation. I landed with high hopes, about £4000 in cash. The reason for my earlier statements is not to brag, but to show you that I was doing well, and I just felt coming here would be saner. I loved it here whenever I travel for vacation, so I was without doubt that life here would be easier.

To my main aim of writing, I think I am depressed. I could not find a job in my first 3 months here. The only job available that most students were doing was care, and I wasnt vaccinated, so I could not start. I eventually started in March and the job gives me a mental breakdown each time. I am on my feet for 11 hours, and get sent around by staff who feel they are better than agency workers, I get hit by residents, I have been racially abused several times ,I did it for 2 months and I had to quit.

I have looked for warehouse jobs, not been lucky. Even customer care work, they reject because of my visa status. I am fast losing it, there is so much my brain can take as a woman. Does anyone know how else I can get a job, I stay in Bradford, so anything around Leeds is fine. I can even work in Manchester if the pay is okay. Please help.

Please don't be discouraged and don't let anyone lied to you that you made a bad decision to leave Nigeria. try and get sample Uk Cvs online and tailor your experience and skills to it, now subscribe to lots of job boards. Don't be deceived, there are thousands of vacancies in the UK, especially in the north where you are. Even with your visa status, you're not at a disadvantage at all. Have a positive mindset and look ahead. You will be fine and be back here to give your success story

buckeyemedia:
Yoruba man Bola Tinubu & APC will not win 1 State in Northern Nigeria, no reasonable minded person from the South-South or southeast will vote for Bola Tinubu a Yoruba Man, he has nothing to offer us.

Better the devil you know in Tafawa Balewa, Shehu Shagari, Yaradua, as much as things change, they tend to remain the same, next in line is Abubakar Atiku, and the status quo remains.

Only Yoruba will vote for Bola Tinubu.

the same thing was said before the APC primaries

mrsmith11:
They soon stop Monday sit at home. The power of election. It shows that all the agitation has been all about power struggle.

Exactly, it was actually to blackmail the major political parties to have a SE candidate but since that's not working they have to use the last card-Obi.

Interesting times ahead

seeing the pictures of the children makes my heart break

Malami for the first time talk sense o.

make we no lie

Okoroawusa:
This man is not serious about being Nigerian president.

You don't start a political campaign by going to a church populated by people from your tribe.

Will they ever learn?

MetaPhysical:
Many people commenting missed a crucial point Okorocha observed and raised with Tinubu.

In his entourage to go visit an Igbo politician he came with Yorubas and Fulanis. Igbo is not represented in the entourage. He therefore implore Tinubu to carry Igbo along in his campaign. A very critical issue and worthy concern.

Even though Tinubu is not depending on SE to win, he must still demonstrate inclusion and have Igbo alongside him on public appearances. He is trying to be what Buhari was not....therefore he must not sideline Igbo.

The question is how tolerant are the igbos towards tinubu? You can't hate a man so much and still be asking he should include you in his entourage. Igbos need to learn diplomacy to show some level of tolerance. It's not when you loose you begin to cry for inclusion.

Even the apc chairman announced a consensus candidate, see the way Northern governors rallied round tinubu, I just tire for this igbo matter.

Dino didn't even sound too confident

at times one is confused on where these people stand, today is Biafra tomorrow is get your PVC, which one una want

You can't continue to seek division of your country and expect votes, kolewerk

Not even transport fare for the delegates to Abuja, haha, na leg dem go use go Abuja?

As much as BAT must have goofed, the North should stop thinking they owe Nigeria, its because the sw is on the receiving end now that's why lawal can talk anyhow, if its the other way round and the North needs the sw support, will they not be trooping to bourdillion everyday?

BAT apart from the presidency really has nothing to loose politically and they all know it. He's still got so much to bargain with any other party or candidate.

LesbianBoy:
See courtois o. So what England media used to say dey pain am. Why did he call them out na

No be small beef o, the guy get English media for mind

This man sabi these people mumu button wella

FatherOfJesus:
remove IPOB, Nigeria will still not have electricity, good roads, good education and many wll still be poor.

IPOB is a result of the bad system in terms of people reacting. Focus on the problem and see IPOB vanish else you are just deciding yourselves.

Nigerians are not ready to liberate themselves, you don't want to tell yourselves the truth

So is it ipob that will liberate people now? You guys will just open threads to spew nonsense.

Is Ipob the best way to react? Ipob has worsen the problem and remember it's easier to destroy than to build. Ipob has finally come to prolong the sufferings of people so you are not making any sense at all

Sleekfingers:
Peter obi don chicken out......southeast get zero knowledge about politics....na just mouth , dem get like akara eater

They are bad competitors, despite all what's happening in APC, the sw is still fighting till the end but our se brothers na FOC dem want all the time.

Saifullah01:
This our generation is so anti-knowledge. The guy did a research with a specified limitation of time to colonial era - yet You have managed to turn it to some sort of islamophobic complex. Obviously Christianity (catholism) was widely accepted in the East during colonialsm but same cannot be said in the north.
Here is a researcher that has identified a factor for that (which should naturally interest evangelicals in the north), but someone is trivialising it to "how to stop Christianity in North "

I guess anyone that does a research on witchcraft as it relates to Benin will either be burnt at a stake or at least accused of witchcraft. Bunch of ignorant lot

You are very right, as a Christian I will be very happy to have the details of the research as it will be very enlightening to know all that transpired during the period in question.

Freelancer2020:
Judging by some comments I'm seeing on this nairaland from her igbo brothers, I'll advise her to forget her ambition, the hatred is out of this world, these are one of the things yorubas will never do.

Same people that are begging for igbo presidency up and down.

That's how they are. If it's the other way round, they will shout marginalisation. Me I don tire for their matter

Successlane:
It's Buhari they hate that much.

Anybody that supported Buhari in 2015 automatically becomes their enemy. ( Tinubu, Amaechi, Oshiomole, etc)

That is the brand of politics they play - HATE !!!

No, the igbos naturally hate any strong and popular yoruba politician that they think they can't overcome easily from Awolowo, Abiola, Tinubu, Fashola and osinbajo. That's always been the trend, no matter how nice these fellows are or have been to them. They always prefer the weaker ones they know can't pose a threat politically to them like afenifere, ambode, ffk or anyone who opposes the stronger yoruba politicians I listed earlier. That's their true brand of politics.

Their problem is the same way they also approach business, set up in areas competition is low

Igbojew:
Oga leave Northerners out of this and stop being smart by half.It was you Yorubas greediness that gave room for Northerners to pure out enmass for this 2023 presidency and you know it.Initially Northerners have agreed to zone the presidency to the South but immediately they saw the disunity among the Southern politicians which Tinubu and Osibanjo created they capitalised on it.....I am that Igbojew

There was never an agreement to zone anything to the south for your information. It was all propaganda. The North in any Nigeria dispensation had never agreed to any zoning. 1999 was to make amends to June 12 1993 after abiola defeated a northerner squarely in an election. Any southerner who wants presidency must fight for it which is what the SW is doing by throwing all their soldiers forward while you guys are lamenting. If any southerner wins in 2023 it will not be because of any zoning as the major parties have thrown the contest wide open. Is it not amazing that Amaechi seems to be having buhari support now? Is he from the west or an igbo man? It's called politics, play the game and stop crying like kalu or chickening out like ngige. If you guys are serious, rally support for Obi and make sure he gets pdp ticket, then humble yourselves and sell him to all Nigerians rather than begging up and down.

Igbojew:
Oga it was because of the greediness of Yoruba people that made Northerners to join the presidential race and you know it but it is well.I hope you people write this down how you Yorubas renegade from gentleman agreement that says presidency should be giving to Igbos only for you people to betray that agreement.You people should never ever come out to play victim or blame Igbos when they start revenging because first to do no dey pain na second to do dey pain and everybody knows how you people cry blood when Igbos retaliate....I am that Igbojew

So the northerners are not greedy after buhari eight years, you're are not making any sense

seunmsg:
Orji Uzor Kalu is really very stupid. Where was he when the people he’s now insulting were working their ass off to get the party elected in 2015? Idiots like him joined the party when the food was already done but somehow, he wants to sit at the head of the table and take the lion share.

Buhari, Tinubu, Osinbajo, Amaechi and all APC leaders owe Kalu and folks like him anything. He has decided to support Lawan and that’s cool. He should support him quietly and stop blackmailing others. At the end of the day, we shall all see how it ends for everyone.

Igbos can never be good pioneers, you must do all the ground work for them to succeed. They can never work their way to be president if they are not given for free. Their entitlement mentality no be here. Whoever becomes president tomorrow, they will start begging for appointments immediately.

Even for them to achieve biafra, they still want you to do it for them.

Herbephe1:
Find out the genesis of the issue, according to report,she condemned the religion messages been sent to the group which I think it's done in a destructive manner.
In whatsoever you're doing your life comes first, prioritize your life,if not because of anything just because of your parents or people who will feel hurt by losing you.
She should have apologized, that wouldn't have reduced her faithfulness in Jesus. It's only when you're alive that you can worship God.

Did El rufai apologized for his own blasphemous statements he made years ago? How long will a particular sect intimidate or bully others to their whims and caprices. A generation is coming that will treat this mess finally. You can't expect me to sensitive to you while you will never be sensitive to others. That's selfishness. Is she a slave? is she not a student like others, do we have superior students to others in any school? Why was she not reported instead to the school authorities instead or do students makes laws for their fellow students in the north?

Empiree:
exactly. It was the media that promoted blasphemy and religious hatred. This has nothing to do with Muhammad or Islam. Media delibratetly made this a religious issues which is not.

When Buhari once said that media needs to be regulated you all floated his idea, saying he is a dictator. Now see what media caused.

What we just witnessed was not different from jungle justice in the southwest and East. Media is creating hatred for Islam and anti Islam in Nigeria.

Stop the reverse psychology, they had to claim blasphemy as a moral or legal ground to justify the killing. This is crass religious intolerance at play The north is yet to understand the implications of this nonsense. They have finally emboldened non Muslims right now. Things may never be same again
