Why do so many gifted and talented people become seemingly frustrated at lack of opportunities to show case their skills and gifts to the world?
Why do many become bitter, dejected, unhappy and even depressed or sad over their inability to convince any one of their impressive ability, skill and capacity?
Many people have a hard time finding the right job, skills and openings to demonstrate their capabilities, potentials and prowess in powerful and flawless delivery of tasks. Cases abound where less talented folks fill up the space and then by the time their is opening, they end up becoming the boss of super talents, who end up frustrated at the mediocrity and indolence of some of these bosses; and guess who makes the recommendation for promotion, firing or gets the praise at the end of the day? The truth is that the best opportunities are best taken in the raw form. Examples are all round us to see and learn from.
So, I will be sharing some tips to let you navigate the uncertain terrains of the busy world out there.


Nobody owes you anything.
As simple as this sounds, its difficult for most people to accept this reality. You are your own master and captain. Your acceptance or otherwise is 100% dependent on your personality and what others enjoy by being around you.

Move out!
As easy as it seems, going out of your way to make friends relevant to your dreams is key step in achieving the needed break. Opportunities are created by people, who sometimes rely on family and friends to select who to trust with such opportunities. If all you do is party hard, club and booze, chances are you might need to shift a little attention to that job fair, seminar, conference or training along the line of your gifting. Moving out of your already saturated zone of comfort releases you into the endless stream of possibilities

By the time the chain connecting the pedals and wheels of the bicycle cuts in the middle of the river and you can't swim or have a lifejacket, that's when you will know that it's not every product of invention that's worth buying.

Thats why you need to suggest a better factor of safety for the chain selection and not this arm chair, beer parlour criticism that makes no engineering sense. FYI, that chain can be better protected from water, fitted with a hydro kinetic electric motor, or outright heavy duty chains improvisation with minimal pedaling.

Op what happened to your present engine that wants you to replace it? Kindly share your experience here. Thanks
By the way i advise that you contact gazzuz and other gurus on this thread for proper guidance so that you dont buy a refurbished engine.
Cheers

The fulanis are politically in control of Adamawa, but are a minority numerically. The Bachama are fearless and even more blood thirsty, in Taraba, the fulani cannot match the Jukun or Mambilla any day, in Borno the Fulani cannot match the Kanuri anywhere, and in these areas they are relatively calm and peaceloving. And the interesting part is that, these groups also have muslim adherents, sometimes up to 50%, but it doesn't cloud their judgement. Crises are not given a religious undertone.

But once they move downwards, people are more educated, exposed, docile and carry their aggression to the internet, thus allowing the fulbe race to pillage their lands and their women...

In all west african countries where fulani are found, they are minority including in their aboriginal areas.. the only exception is Nigeria - where we gave them power on the platter of religion.

The fulani are unable to match their neighbours in their own states, but southerners permit them to carry out head hunting in their lands...

It is sad that so many people lost their lives, particularly children, thus we must condemn the killings and its root causes, not calling for reprisals, especially by a paramount traditional and religious leader. The Sultan should see himself as a father of Nigeria, not just a father of the fulani. No father would see his sons fighting to the death, and would support one over the other.

But I assure you, there would be no reprisals. The Fulani do not have the wherewithal to carry out reprisals in Adamawa State. ...excpt they receive external corporate aid

100% in support of your opinion but the Fulanis cannot be and should not be underrated for any reason. I think its time for the southern brethren to rise up and be strong enough to wipe out the threat of these fulfude "meanists"

If you are 6 feet and female dating someone taller is a dream ....
But it seems tall guys avoid tall women..why?

Not really dated a 6"2 lady and we were was a sight to behold. Almost got a taller one as well but we couldn't connect afterwards,as I learnt she was a cousin.

Having to be the right hand marker

Soldier sighted. Dressing Dressing cut. Morning Oscar Charlie

Having to bend over door frames, couldn't enter some types of vehicles, choice of seat if I have to use a public transport is the front seat.
Shoe and shirt size are non existent in most boutiques, I have been fortunate to get some XXL sent in from families + I get a lot of stares from folks, the look of awe, disbelief and admiration. One guy even hailed me "Tallest " as I was heading to the office very early on Monday. I just smiled and acknowledged his salute.
If I was not wearing a beard,most people usually assumed I be Oga SOja, which is very amusing.
Tall guys rock.

Same question was asked in similar circumstances years ago.. I couldn't even remember what I said.. whether completing a Masters degree or building my CV quietly by "I am volunteering at so so and so place". Well that was the last of our conversation. The last time we saw, she alighted a sedan while she turned, shocked and surprised, she asked.."how was work?" masking a flurry of awe.....she was still single.

Fools everywhere.

Fools will agree that we doubled our highest production in less than two months (from 3300MW to 7000MW) without any capital infrastructural input. I guess we generated the extra power from thin air. APC is just desperate to find at least one campaign point.... but sorry this one cant fly. We are in total darkness even in rainy season

Again, Fools everywhere

The last reported peak power generation (Wednesday 13 September 2017) was 4142.5MW (courtesy of three)

Oga, did you read of how Discos have been rejecting up to 1000MW of electricity on a daily basis? I for one have never doubted the capability of existing infrastructure in generation-Infact, gas supply has been on the increase, the rainy season is here thus the Gencos are generating but bros, you and I know that the discos are thecrooks-they are the weak link in this value chain..

I Think You Should Give Us the Full Details of What Your Friend did to win the contract

Very unfair statement coming!! Why didn"t you ask who was in charge of the registration prior to that time? My guy so many people have been feeding fat on the American and our innocent friend ddnt know there was an "oga" in charge who has likely seen the new man as a big threat to his "chop chop" way of life.... So many thoughts

Well, let me give you a real life example. My friend finished a Masters in the UK since 2014 and just recently got a job down south after according to him managing so many "insulting jobs". Even at that the bad policy of the UK mandating every student to leave their country upon graduation may not help matters. Hence my only advice is if you don't plan/ have enough cash to proceed on a PhD immediately after your programme, just Negodu. Look for where you can do anMsc here in Nigeria and enjoy your life.

The level of pollution in a country like Nigeria, where major cities are already regarded as the world’s worst in terms of air quality, has been projected to rise following the adoption of green vehicles in other countries. Green vehicles are those not powered with petrol or diesel.

• Automotive agency to lead green vehicle revolution
• Stakeholders list effects on economy

As part of measures to battle global warming, Nigeria, a signatory to the Paris treaty, may ban petrol and diesel vehicles within the next decade. President Muhammadu Buhari signed the Paris agreement earlier in the year to reduce greenhouse gases emissions. Experts said petrol and diesel vehicles are leading causes of pollution across the world.

Indeed, the country is also a signatory to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, which has made compulsory reduction of pollution before 2030 a priority.

The level of pollution in a country like Nigeria, where major cities are already regarded as the world’s worst in terms of air quality, has been projected to rise following the adoption of green vehicles in other countries. Green vehicles are those not powered with petrol or diesel.

If Nigeria that depends greatly on revenue from oil is to ban the use of petrol and diesel vehicles, it amounts to suicide if nothing crops up to take the place of oil in the national revenue matrix. The country’s finances shall steeply dip such that budget implementation to execute projects and programmes for the development of the country will be near impossible. In fact, energy analysts are worried that the prevailing drive to shift from fossil fuel could reduce Nigeria’s oil earning by half in the next 10 years.

But the nation is still capable of weathering the storm. While the mining of minerals accounts for only about 0.3 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Nigeria, the Managing Director, Epina Technology Limited, Prof. Eguakhide Oaikhinan, said an exploding market for batteries to replace oil could turn mineral resources such as lithium, graphite and cobalt into new sources of revenue for the country.

Already, there is surging demand for batteries which are made up of raw materials like cobalt, graphite and lithium found in high deposits in the northern part of the country. The lithium-ore battery market is expected to grow at a 21.7 per cent rate yearly in terms of the actual energy capacity required. It was 15.9 GWh in 2015, but would hit a whopping 93.1 GWh by 2024.

Oaikhinan said: “Minerals containing lithium ore can be found mainly in the northern part of the country, particularly Nasarawa State. Graphite is available in Kaduna State. If these minerals are characterised and processed for industrial uses, we can see a shift gradually from a crude oil-dependent country to a more competitive industrialised nation.”

The reality is defined by moves by buyers of Nigerian crude oil, including India, Netherlands, Italy and the United Kingdom to explore other sources of energy even as they set deadlines to reduce the use of petrol and diesel vehicles in their territories.

Against plans by France, U.K., U.S., India and Norway to ban the new sales of petrol and diesel cars, the Director General, Agency for Automotive Development, Aliyu Jelani is sounding optimistic. He says the Nigerian government is ready to lead the citizens away from depending solely on petrol and diesel vehicles.

Jelani, the designer of General Motors’ Chevy Volt, who was appointed by the Federal Government in a drive to turn Nigeria to an automotive manufacturing hub, said players in the national automotive policy must shift attention to green vehicles. He said government would encourage investors, particularly Nigerians in the diaspora, and friends of the country across the world, to invest in green revolution.

But some of the stakeholders who spoke to The Guardian, were pessimistic about the readiness of Nigeria to go green. They argued that the country lacked basic infrastructure, especially electricity supply, to support electric vehicles.

The Co-founder, Sustainability School Lagos and associate lecturer, Centre for Petroleum, Energy Economics and Law (CPEEL), University of Ibadan, Dr. Olufemi Olarewaju, said the country did not have a future in oil anymore. According to him, one of the direct consequences is that there would be drastic reduction in the demand for crude oil.

“We were worried that oil was going to finish, now we are sure that oil is going to remain in the ground. With the new aggressiveness of automobile manufacturers, there is going to be a sharp demand in battery storage. We will have sharp demand for clean energy automobile. There will be significant reduction in demand for oil and that will obviously affect our economy,” Olarewaju said.

Apart from the anxiety over revenue shortfall, Olarewaju urged policy makers to develop a proactive end-of-life policy that will mitigate looming environmental pollution as Africa, particularly Nigeria, has been projected to become a dumpsite for phased-out petrol and diesel automobile products.

He said: “There have been discussions on end-of-life policy for automobile. But I am not aware if we have such a policy in Nigeria, so that makes it difficult for us to know what to do with these vehicles that come to places like Nigeria. We are facing a converging from waste perspective, which is an environmental issue and convergence from revenue perspective.

“The next thing we need to begin to look at is how to convert the challenge to an opportunity. We are incapacitated. We cannot stop or influence the global trend. We need to move the economy to non-oil. We need to look at the opportunities of the green energy itself. We can win in two ways; by contributing to climate change issues, which may affect Africa more than any other part of the world. We can also look at it from the economic diversification point. Private and public sectors need to get curious in investing in clean technology as an added component of what we are trying to do in economic diversification.”

The Managing Director, Stallion NMN, which assembles Nissan, Infiniti and other brands in Nigeria, Parvir Singh doesn’t see the feasibility of his company importing green vehicles into Nigeria unless enabling infrastructure is created.

Considering the poor state of electricity supply in Nigeria, Singh expected the country’s journey to green vehicles to begin from the point of stable power supply. Electric vehicles such as the Nissan Leaf and BMW have been introduced in South Africa.

The Director General, Africa Clean Energy Summit, Dr. Victor Fodeke, said the country required a holistic plan that would enable the introduction of green vehicles into the country.
“We cannot ban petrol and diesel vehicles in Nigeria. We need to look at the technology and infrastructure necessary for them. We need to put our national circumstance into consideration,” he said.

While Volvo announced it would stop the production of internal combustion engines vehicles, stressing that every car it makes from 2019 onward would be an electric motor, India’s Power Minister, Piyush Goyal, said only electric cars would be operating in the country by 2030.

Though UK-based IHS Markit said electric and hybrid vehicles currently account for only three per cent of global auto sales, the country has announced a plan to invest about £3 billion to cut illegal levels of air pollution. UK’s Environment Secretary, Michael Gove said the country would halt the sale of diesel and petrol cars and vans by 2040.

With the coming on stream of this refinery, coupled with the peaking out of global gasoline consumption in 2018-2019 as a result of popularity of electric cars, the prices of petrol and other oil-based commodities will drop.However, it will be a pyrhhic victory for the Nigerian masses who have suffered years of needless hardship at the hands of morons who called the shots for years in the Energy sector. By that time the much needed liberalization of the downstream sector would be meaningless.

And the old crooks will steal all the future away from the youths and their unborn children leaving them with nothing but scraps.
