CrimeRe: Suicidal Man Sets Himself On Fire In Hotel In Abuja (pics) by here: 7:32pm On Feb 17, 2017
There is more to this story,will it be resolved, I doubt.
A man who showed no sign of depression, forget his family never visited story, they are everywhere in Abj seeking for contracts or hustling the richer ones better hotels and the last 1 year many of them have started leaving the country back to where they came from as those free contracts aren't coming anymore.
Back to the story, how can a man who screamed Yeh!!! as though in pain run back to the burning room and he didn't run in but waited till neighbours came to meet him standing?
This man was killed or died watching the game with someone and the witnesses or whoever killed this guy setup that fire.Now they say he was burnt beyond recognition because to them it's a closed case.
And for those saying his neighbours went to persuade him,let me ask after breaking down a door "they were persuading him?" Have you ever seen such instance where the victim is being persuaded or would have been bundled out?Time shall time,time.

PoliticsRe: Paris Loan Refund: Nigeria’s 36 Governors Threaten War With EFCC Chair, Magu by here: 7:08pm On Feb 13, 2017
When GEJ wanted to cripple this forum by splitting it not many understood, and not many could tell why he was bent on destroying an agency ordinarily he would have benefited from.
They are the worst thing that ever happened to the nation, can anyone tell me how beneficial this forum is to the states they represent other than threatening the government?
Ordinarily one would have seen these governors use this platform for projects negotiation and other developmental policies, no they use it to intimidate government.
How can you engage consultants and even agree to pay directly on a money belonging to the state, without the states assemblies voting such expenditure? And if there is a general contribution to this forum by states how many assemblies approved this expenditure in their budgets? Oh so these monies are free flying money every governor feels he can decide how its spent and the anit corruption agency should not ask questions?
They can threaten anyone and go free, and yes want the President to call the Head of anti corruption agency to order,imagine! and you want us to give them state police? That will be so wrong.
Even if Nigerians dont get to ask, the anti corruption agency with full government shouldnt? One would have expected if they feel they are treated wrong to have atleast had little respect for the anti corruption fight and written to the agency offering to make available every explanation. But no, they are too powerful. I feel so terrible at these guys because I have waited all years hoping to see any usefulness of this body, but no.
CrimeRe: Kidnappers Spotted By A Palm Cutter In Bayelsa, Caught And Injured (Graphic Pic) by here: 6:51am On Jan 23, 2017
There are certain jobs you do and you're exposed to so much,palmwine cutting is one.For some reason they have been useful when they decide to and security agencies have cracked cases through their help.Exposing this particular source of information is the worst mistake I have seen and highly unprofessional. Now all cutters would become endangered or scared to come forward ;that is if this particular one is not even targeted by groups plying this crime in that territory.
This should have been handled properly, what's the rush everytime to add sensation to the news?
FamilyRe: Because I Am A Woman! by here: 7:08am On Jan 05, 2017
Signs of depression!
Germany is led by a woman,tell me the feeling is different there.
Refusal of both genders to accept a role and stay responsible for continuous existence is sad,really sad.
And Yes a woman trained, maybe fathered and married by a Nigerian man just resumed as 2nd in UN...she is also a woman, a Nigerian woman
RomanceRe: . by here: 4:39am On Jan 02, 2017
Lack of communication or unhealthy one is key always key I keep telling people.Some would say let what happened in the past remain in the past and they only care about the future that's also perfect but for this case how can this be explained? In relation even if no intimacy but it should be discussed freely and let the partner make his or her choice. Afterall you kissed ;would give room for understanding and issues cared for rather than put a partner in a position to decide if he or she can live with something after full commitment. Not like am advocating putting your story out there. No wonder some partners don't even know about an ailment until almost wedding...not fair...no partner has to bear the burden left by the past if he or she doesn't want to and should be given the chance early to decide.
Dear friend,it's your life...sort it out,if you chose to stay make it work.But be sure she is interested in healing,if not you will get frustrated by the time she heals and the circle continues...pain.
The thought of this your first time will make you frightened each time you want to ever sleep with her...no male ever pray to. experience what you did...not many males would ever want to be with her intimately because of feeling of pity,but you get to decide how you want it to stay...many will tell you support her but you gauge ur strength and chose what you want to do...would be beautiful if you go through this healing together but both must show desire I repeat...because sometimes rescued partners who played no part seem to wear out the relationship in long run..goodluck with whatever you decide
TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by here: 6:27pm On Dec 22, 2016
Folaroyal:
A VO will want to ... (1) See that an applicant is able and can well support his/her first year of study tuition and living costs without recourse to public funds...... by showing proof of funding for just that tuition as specified "first year tuition" in your offer letter + 10,000CAD..... (That is the cic regulation)
** available funds is the total of your bank balances, fixed investment, and that part a sponsor pledges to give per annum.

(2) That applicant possesses such ability as being able to continuously support tuition and living costs in preceding years...
*** by means of e.g. rent payment on property, pension statements, fixed deposits, affidavit of sponsorships.
Please help me out here with this example as that's what I like for someone to be clear on.
An applicant has 16000CAD equivalent in his account, father second sponsor has an account of 100,000,000 last six months flow and balance of 30,000,000 Naira pledges 5,000,000 per annum=21,000CAD and 42000cad for two years.what will be his available fund? will it be safe to say 58,000CAD?
I am trying to understudy a pattern for each application I have read insufficient fund whether there is a relationship to how those columns were filled and majority of those always have filled rooms and board less than 10,000 and others low too.
Please when you clear the above I want everyone who has gotten trv to include in the documents submitted, tell this house what you filled in tuition,rooms and board,others and available funds columns.
Will appreciate that
TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by here: 3:30pm On Dec 22, 2016
Mikymiko:
Just got refused on insufficient fund to pay for tuition and purpose of visit.
Sorry for that, I think you should do the following:
1.Order for your file
2.submit back same documents but review your SOP and tie your undergrad to this masters, if possible include the core part of your statement of intent which you submitted to the faculty and indicate that was your statement that was considered for admission in your SOP to embassy.
3. You need to prove the usefulness of this course somehow to your career pursuit, if you can include various job adverts and if you have undertaken any projects even if volunteer.As long as you have even if one year experience on a role, your undergrad can be in any course but I feel any VO would approve your masters in a field you have career progression in.
4. On your fees and available funds; fees=actual tuition, rooms and board make it 10,000, others make it from 6000, I also think your available fund is low(let someone pls comment on the amount you declared) | If you can please ask your sponsor to transfer N5M to your account.| where your sponsor isnt direct family there must be an evidence of real commitment like transfer and not just affidavit(my opinion).
Its not easy to think straight at this time but try to look at this case objectively. Try not to attack the VO reading your new SOP but try making it look like you unknowingly didnt supply all the explanation in first application.
Please take any review seasoned members of this group will do on my submission.
Wish you success

N/B: I think this forum has to exhaust a discussion on how to feel that column for funds on application form, because I feel when not properly filled would certainly give insufficient fund even if your account is huge.
PoliticsRe: Buhari Gives States N522b To Reflate Economy by here: 2:56am On Dec 03, 2016
Commendable just like the borrowing to states some months back,but who is always trying to frustrate the effort of the federal government?
Because since most states are on loans and any money into their accounts with commercial banks gets deducted first why is the CBN not crediting the accounts for staff owed arrears and those of pensioners? Is someone in CBN and Finance constantly trying to assist banks recover bad loans by abusing his or her position thereby influencing that money be constantly released in a cover for "salary arrears"?
Afterall CBN accept mandates why is it hard to accept beneficiaries list and where in doubt forward to EFCC for vetting?
Who is making the effort of this government not to have any noticeable effect?
Foreign AffairsRe: Donald Trump Appoints Adebayo Ogunlesi, A Nigerian In His Economic Advisory Team by here: 2:38am On Dec 03, 2016
StOla:
It is Ogunlesi not Ogunlensi.

Secondly, he is Ijebu from Ogun state, not Ondo state. His father is Professor Ogunlesi, the first Nigerian professor of medicine.

As for Trump and the Republicans, they have a penchant for assembling capitalist gurus, that in turn wreck the solid economy already achieved by the Democrats.

Bush made sure he wrecked the economy he inherited from Clinton. Obama cleaned up the mess of Bush, now a Republican Trump has come to inherit a stable democrat engineered economy.

How do the Republicans wreck the economy?
They invite all their capitalist friends to run the country, who as a matter of first priority, erase all forms of government regulations in their own respective business sectors. Bluntly put, they are in power to see how best to grow their own businesses. They continue to take all manner of greedy risks, even if they have to bet against America.

They quickly cut taxes for the wealthiest of the wealthy, claiming such increase in disposable income would be reinvested in the economy by creating more jobs.When the charade falls apart, they run back to beg for government bailout with tax payers funds, while still flying about in chartered flights living an illusion called American Dream.
The average Joe remains average.

Time will tell if Trump will wreck it in typical Republican fashion, while the short memory Americans run back to the Democrats for succour in a cycle that never changes.
Yet they get elected, serve 2 straight tenure.
Yet their economy don't collapse like one I know in Africa which did in one year.
And somehow yet Americans run to Republicans after your democrates have fixed the economy? Dear you need to understand a people can make a choice and be allowed to live with it.Whether right or wrong it's their choice,constantly judging it might be considered weird because aside the ability to make a choice,what else do they have? How can we claim to know how all humans must live their lives? Denying them the only essential part of live?
Just like rather than Nigerians explore means to adopt to this style of governance are busy ranting online daily or wakeup to go to complain on TV,maybe because to blame requires less energy.
Pls try to allow America enjoy their new leader,afterall North Koreans do and none of these nairaland self appointed political analysts ever get to review that...why the obsession with America?

SPP/EDU/CONS_! - Education Consultants (all levels)
Posted: 14/10/2016 12:28
Start Date: Not Available
Salary: Competitive
Location: Oxford
Level: Consulting
Deadline: 30/11/2016 23:59
Hours: 37.50
Benefits: Competitive
Job Type: Permanent


Do you want an exciting job in education policy and research, based in one of our global locations? Oxford Policy Management’s education portfolio is recruiting.

We are seeking talented and dynamic individuals to join our team at all levels and in all five technical areas: systems, metrics, finance, early childhood development and inequality. Successful applicants may specialise in one area or have several strings to their bow. OPM staff engage in challenging, problem solving and highly technical work that also requires flexibility, patience and sensitivity. They will work across several different projects, often at the same time. They should also expect to spend significant time in project locations, whether in government ministries, project offices, or schools and communities.

New recruits are normally based in Oxford initially, but we are looking for staff to be based short- or long-term in our offices and projects around the world, and in particular (but not only) in Abuja (Nigeria), Delhi (India), and Oxford (UK).

We are seeking applicants for permanent staff roles at three levels of seniority:

Principal consultant: you lead large programmes, have the ear of senior policymakers in low and middle income countries, and are regarded as a leading education expert.

Senior consultant: with a significant number of years of experience in education in low and middle income countries, you have strong relationships with policymakers, manage large projects, and likely also have a record of high quality publications on education.

Consultant: you are a highly regarded technician who works across a range of fields in education with several years of relevant work experience, supported by senior colleagues. You work with policymakers and may have some important publications.

OPM is one of the world’s leading international policy development and management consultancies. Since we were initially formed in the 1970s as a research group in the University of Oxford, we’ve been focused on reducing poverty and disadvantage through world class policy research, support and advice.

Our education portfolio helps governments in low- and middle-income countries deliver high quality learning opportunities for all on a sustainable basis by working in five technical areas:

Transforming education systems to ensure learning keeps pace with a changing world, including managing ‘Research on Improving Systems of Education’ (RISE);

Developing education metrics to better measure teaching and learning, including for our many complex impact evaluations education programmes in Nigeria, Tanzania and elsewhere.

Improving education financing to ensure education resources are appropriate, efficient, effective and equitable, including research on how to use natural resources to fund education;

Reforming early childhood development to ensure children are well prepared for later life, including a systematic review of what interventions work; and

Improving education equality to ensure no children are left behind, including building evidence on out of school children in the MENA and South Asia regions.

We believe effective consulting requires deep knowledge of the political, economic, social and educational contexts in which we work, and we orient our teams and projects to achieve this. We work directly with governments and donors, but also contribute to the academic debate. We engage long-term on countries and issues to ensure that we contribute to sustainable capacity for effective education. Consultants typically work across several different projects, often at the same time. They undertake a diverse range of interesting and highly technical work that also requires flexibility, patience and sensitivity.

We would be pleased to hold initial discussions with anyone who has the relevant expertise and background including:

Intellectual curiosity and academic excellence: a degree and post-graduate qualification (at least a masters) in relevant discipline (such as economics, education or development studies), probably finishing in the top 10% of your cohort.

A demonstrated passion for development and commitment to achieving results and having a positive impact on the world, particularly in improving education outcomes in low- and middle-income countries, and an awareness of the technical and political challenges involved.

Entrepreneurial skills and leadership potential, who are able to manage their own time effectively in a busy environment.

Problem-solving skills, and an approach that is flexible, consultative, adaptable yet perfectionist.

Experience in education relevant to the seniority level and technical specialism you apply for.



OPM offer a competitive salary, an excellent pension scheme and generous holiday entitlement.

To learn more about these opportunities and what it is like to work in the education portfolio please download the attached publication http://www.opml.co.uk/publications/recruitment-education-team-opm

Please note, that as part of the recruitment process, OPM will establish which role you might be suitable for.

The review date for applications is: 30th November 2016 but we would advise you to apply early to avoid disappointment

PoliticsRe: FG Urged To Stop Paying Niger-Delta Governors 13% Derivation by here: 9:05am On Nov 07, 2016
Long overdue, I woke up this morning hoping to create a thread on this.
You need to come to these communities hosting marginal fields to see how they are abandoned.
Take for instance Rivers State, Oyigbo produces 22,000bpd higher than the quantity of oil Lagos is boasting of and this local government with about 30 oil wells have no roads and housing a high capacity gas plant, typically abandoned and regarded as Igbo extraction while the major tribes hold power in the state and treat these guys like second class. Shell drilling in this LGA with these quantity of oil has no existing MOU and this community has not for once broken any pipe. They deserve their 13% paid directly to them; rather than to state that they will not benefit anything.
Worse case, ask these communities to identify projects they want since you have refused giving them even if 5% stake in the oil drilling done on their land, setup a development agency made up of natives and contracts awarded to be reviewed, approved and monitored by the agency.Completion publicized and where there are violence by bad youths let the world know rather than use it as an excuse to eat the disbursed funds and abandon contract and for God's sake there are security agencies to be deployed to contract sites and their allowance can be built in the contract. Do not pay them any more allocation from federation account and watch these communities grow. Yes each contract must employ 80% youths from the area except there is no trained, and where there is none, develop a training program like the gas plant did and shared slots to each community. That will show you have their interest. But as always the government will look the other way.
Who is really interested in not developing the oil bearing communities, I ask?

Running a home involves reasonable level of responsibility, sometimes expenses are negotiated depends on level of respect. Take for instance,how can you watch your woman even your own blood sister who is a working class travel 6hrs come see you and will cook and wash sometimes 1-2hrs.

We wouldn't blame you,land grabbing is a trait.How come they don't go for Epeye people too since they are small,no they are like the Ogonis they want Afam atleast there are oil wells and power plant.Then we ask,how can you justify people's origin by their size? Do you know the Oyigbo Bini people of Ondo or the Asa river of Kwara state, that the Oyigbo people of Rivers who are Asa do not lay claims? That the only claim this clan has us a small town in Abia who was said to have left Rivers and settled in Abia and for the lack of records there can never be marriage between them. This same Oyigbo Asa has 14 villages and 1 is from Rumoula.
The people of Rivers state whether riverine or upland have their cultures and history is clear as can be proved from generation to generation and no blackmail can make a people lose their true self.
Show us there the people from Ikwerre migrated from the East if there is.How come you all run home during census, why dnt those originally from Rivers also return home from East?
Finally consider Kalabari and Ijaw,both have oil but each still maintains their salient cultures that differentiate them and a Degema man cannot because he is from Riverine assume an identity of the larger ethnic group just because you want him to.

NB: Dnt mind me, angered by the hypocrisy that accompanies this subject anytime it comes up.

There is this thing called washing machine.
It's now cheap,you can buy one,while she is busy in kitchen you can operate it and you both have more time making out or other productive thing.Moreso it doesn't expire so you both might need it once your efforts in making babies yield effort
FamilyRe: My brother is driving me nut - How Should I Handle This Family Issue? by here: 8:27am On Sep 12, 2016
Pardon me to say it as it's in my mind.
Your Bro is mean,yes.
He is the reason most husbands don't let inlaws close and if you don't cage him this guy will give you problems after marriage.
How do I feel he knows something about your finances?Whatever growup! Sell that damm car and open something for yourself if you can't bear saying no to him.Something to give you cab money or register it under uber and let uber asign u a driver.
He is not under an attack, you are.
He is an uber driver with credit of 700000 means he is reliable and wouldn't find it difficult finding a driver job with uber.
Why do I feel even if this thread gets to page 80 you will never take any tough decision that for once satisfies you and you alone,that is the reason he has and will always use you.
Please don't make this your future husbands burden,it will be unfair.
You don't need any elder to decide.I met a 30yr old graduate whose sister has given till Dec to find a job or relocate home after feeding him for 2yrs and he hasn't earned 100naira,this is his younger sister with 2kids paying fees in Abuja and the worst is she is housewife and yet to graduate and the husband is bearing all these alone. I must warn don't tempt a man later with how much he can bear from ur siblings.
I wish you luck whatever you decide including babysitting a 29yr old who has vowed to ruin you.Check your blood pressure regularly too
BusinessRe: Scammed By A Nigerian Friend In The US by here: 12:55pm On Sep 03, 2016
Do the following,document the job you did and your instruction to the company instructing them to pay this fellow.
attach all these and get a law firm to write the efcc,copy attorney general office on mutual legal assistance and ministry of foreign affairs as well as us embassy embassy.
Make the efcc understand you assume the doj of usa accepts formal requests through the attorney gen office on mlat and you will like this treated as such.
Attach all possible details of this fellow and your communucations and watch bim loose his stay in usa.
moreso efcc gets to have a case on him anyday he returns.If you.like copy the nia but more agencies you copy the better as all will treat.Also copy the office of the secretary to government of the federation.
But if the money isnt legit pls ignore.
These things happen in 80% of the time once your money gets in pockets of persons not directly related who base abroad.Same story.Do not ever let your money enter into the hands of a NIgerian abroad n matter how well he is doing.
Thank me later

Sir,they will send a politician your way soon and it might even be the vice president.
Please I beg you in whatever you believe don't change this decision.
Pair with Oliseh and get something outside not Nigerian clubs.The pay is less but steady and you have alot of time to care for your health.This system deals with the brightest and like them cheap while retaining you through cheap blackmail you think it's goodwill.
Do they know what's like maintaining sanity with high expectations of Nigerians and in turn no salary to meetup your personal needs?Look at the health of any of our coaches!
I shall not mourn you

This has been my pain.
Why so much resources to the region yet nothing to show.
Why do the elites of the region so greedy because if they dnt benefit someone would be asking to see the projects.
