hello everyone, pls I need some genuine advice here...I got a job for the position of security personnel through a security company but I was told I may be posted to a bank, supermarket, hospital or even church..I actually considered this job because of the frustration I go through daily while staying home and doing nothing since finishing NYSC 2015. I need advice from people who had once been in my shoes how it is and if its really worth it...I mean how one can climb the ladder from being a security officer to been gainfully employed in the office by the client organisation and build a better career. thanks and hope to see your advice

Get to work with your shoulders high, dress neatly not just like the ordinary security man, be nice and polite to everyone, you could meet a big shot at the gate as guest.

Never let the nature of the job affect your self esteem, show them that you are worth more than a gate man.if you have opportunities to attend general meetings, express yourself, suggest innovative ideas.

After 3 months if none of the staffs picks interest in you, you may need to begin viral networking, firstly among the employees that you are close to, then Admin, hr, helpdesk, PA, get to know internal vacancies and apply.

If they don't give you oppportunity, keep copies of your cv's in office and target guest that visit the firm

Hope this will help, above all trust only inGod and yourself.

Grace is multiplied unto you

This article seeks to expose Nigerian graduates and undergraduates to the current job search situation in Nigeria, the hurdles ahead and how to maneuver.

After getting admission into the university, the excitement fades off slowly as one faces the challenges ahead. Some students begin to count down when the phase will be over and they can move to the next.

How do I know? Visit any Nigerian Institution when they are writing the last paper, you will be amazed how it is being celebrated. Don’t get me wrong, celebrations are part of what makes life fun but does this mean that they have arrived?

One thing I have learnt about life is that it is full of endless journeys. The end of a journey is the birth of another forming an infinite loop of events.

After graduation, the euphoria dies down for some time and picks up in NYSC camp. At least for most people. One might get posted to some place far away from home and makes best use of the opportunity. At the end of the month, work or no work, the expectation of Federal allawee (allowance) brings joy to faces.
This loop continues till after NYSC when reality sets in. The allawee stops coming in, no enough cash to meet basic needs and your ‘big uncle’ stops picking your calls. That job he promised you has disappeared like a ghost in a Nigerian movie.

Now it is time to man up, take responsibility, get a job, and start life on you own.

For the lucky ones, with highly connected parents, family members and friends, nothing much to worry. For the not-so-lucky they have to keep pushing and trying. Sadly, some do this without a clear cut reality check of what exactly, the recruiter wants or what he or she wants from life.

Now, days turn to weeks, weeks to months and months to years. Some get a little lucky to get something doing. This something could be underemployment or working under harsh conditions. Still they trudge on, “wetin man go do”, they have to survive.

Who is to be blamed for this cycle?

The government? Or Educational Intuitions or the Nigerian graduate?

Dear housemate,

I need advices on how to go about meeting a lovely girl to date. I am a young man with a good job; for like 3yrs now I have not been in any relationship. It was actually a deliberate attempt so I can concentrate on my career.
In recent times, I have started feeling incomplete without a woman in my life. I have decided to start dating again, but the problem is I don't even know how to start?
The questions are:
a) where should I hang out at my leisure time where the chances of meeting a good girl is high?
b) Is there any social media (chat) I should join to increase my chances of dating a GOOD girl?
Well Just thinking aloud, your advices is highly welcome.
Thanks.

Nigeria is defragmented, ONLY restructuring can repair her. Otherwise, I fear for her death.

its only an illiterate that would think that he can force people of different beliefs to stay together in this 21st century

‘’So, they opposed the conference and I think they are just holding on to that for whatever reason. There comes a time when you have to acknowledge that, well, you did it because you had to do it or you did it because you were wrong, then you change that position.

‘’Somebody was writing, a major feature writer, in one of the newspapers and he was trying to support the president’s position with regards to that conference report.

‘’He wanted to say that the president has good reasons not to want to consider that report because after all, and this was what he said, President Jonathan did not even want to have it.

‘’He waited until he was under pressure and because he saw that the people would like it, so he called for the conference. Now, for me, that is an argument for somebody to look at that conference report because if it is something that the people would like, why won’t you do something that the people would like? ‘’I’ll add something else. I read where the current Secretary to the Government of the Federation (Babachir David Lawal) said he is so busy with governance and that it would take him about seven days to go through the report; where is the time to read the report?

‘’How can you be busy governing without being interested in knowing how the people want to be governed? To me, it is a very wrong argument.

‘’There are certain things in that report -I am not saying every decision taken was correct or right- that are imperative because they could bring the succour, they could bring the balm or whatever you need to create the harmony that we want in Nigeria today. You see, when people begin to say that they (government) did not like it in the first instance and so they must not honour it, if you find out that it is something that the people want, then you have to do it. ‘’Let’s not forget that the campaign mantra of this government was change. I was in the PDP then.

‘’When people asked me whether I saw my party winning the elections, I always told them that my party would not win and it was just for one reason, that what I hear from everybody is that we cannot continue this way, so change must come.

‘’Suddenly, if you remember the campaigns, PDP themselves started saying when we come back we would change certain things and I said, oh, you are now shouting change like the opposition is shouting change?

‘’So change must come, whether they would allow PDP to come back and effect those changes, fine but chances are that they are going to bring the people who conceived of the change to come in and effect the change. What that suggests to me is that nobody can successfully stand against an idea whose time has come.

‘’The time for change had come and nobody could stop it. Today, the need for, let me borrow your word, restructuring the fiscal arrangement of Nigeria has come and nobody can stand against it and I mean it. It is not a threat, it is just one of those things you feel, because you see and you know that this is the case.

‘’Fiscal federalism must come and the kernel for the establishment and operation of proper fiscal arrangement within the country is in that report and that report cannot and must therefore not be ignored,” he said.

The former governor also opined that there was no need giving financial bail-out to states, arguing that any state that could no longer meet its obligations should fuse with others.

Kaduna State governor

‘’Why haven’t the tar sands been exploited and so that they can go ahead and even have more money than the South-South, if you like, put together? It is just because we have refused to accept the concept of fiscal federalism. The governor of Kaduna was the one that said there is more gold in Kaduna than the whole of South Africa.

‘’ I am quoting the governor of Kaduna State. So, why should Kaduna State not be able to meet all of its obligations and put a lot of money into the federation account, which I condemn.”

South-South is over-exploited

The former governor also stated that the Niger Delta area was currently over-exploited, a development he said had partially fuelled militancy in the area.

He said: “The South South has the feeling that the rest of the country wants to milk it, pollute it or completely milk it dry and then tell them goodbye. There is that fear and it is not being addressed because the question is why are you preserving all your resources and exploiting only this one?

“There is this concept of diversification. When you talk about diversification, people just think it has to do with going into agriculture, apart from oil. It is not sufficient.

‘’Diversification should come in more areas than just agriculture. If we had diversified our source of power, today we would not feel it so much, at least certainly not in the effect of these bombings (of oil and gas installations).

‘’Today, we are dependent almost exclusively and entirely on the gas turbines and then oil, but if we had had hydro, coal and solar, those boys would see that they are hurting themselves because, we could say, ok, you have cut off the source of power in your area, so you do not have power but the other parts of the country would still have power. ”

‘’They would see that they are not hurting anybody other than themselves. And they would see that in fact, it is silly,what they are doing. So, diversification is beyond going into agriculture.

‘’You will diversify in several other areas and one of the areas you must look at urgently and you must begin to give confidence to other people who have these resources is in the solid minerals.

‘’Go and look at the ownership of Itakpe Iron Ore. It is a mineral resource but even the community is part of the ownership arrangement but tell me whether anybody was ever consulted before oil blocs were given out in the South-South. You know what I mean?

‘’That is why recently I wrote an article and said this Petroleum Industry Bill, let us go softly with it.

‘’Let us be sure that everything is even-handed because if you now come by this bill and treat oil mineral differently from other minerals and give the people on whose lands other minerals are found greater advantages than you have given to people on whose lands oil is found, there would still be dissatisfaction.

‘’So, why can’t we come out with “Mineral Bill”? The 10 percent that was supposed to be given, they said no, that because this one is governance bill. Is that happening in other areas of mineral exploitation? It is a question we have to answer.”

Why Buhari must look at the 2014 Confab Report

Attah also faulted partisans who had continued to advance reasons as to why the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration must jettison the 2014 National Conference report.

While he conceded that the recommendations contained in the report might not be totally perfect, he said the federal government should identify those it could implement since the exercise was widely accepted by the generality of Nigerians.

“You would realize one thing; that the people who today are steering the party called APC, were in opposition at the time to the government in place. They did not like the idea, because they had this notion that whatever the government does, the opposition must oppose.

‘’So, they opposed the conference and I think they are just holding on to that for whatever reason. There comes a time when you have to acknowledg

Former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Obong Victor Attah, has, in apparent response to President Muhammadu Buhari, said that the country’s unity was negotiable.


Obong Victor Attah
In an interview with Vanguard in Abuja weekend, the former governor said the only way out of the various challenges bedeviling Nigeria would be to adopt fiscal federalism, saying the country, as currently constituted, was unworkable.

He said: “Things that are happening in Nigeria are really very worrisome. There are those who feel some perception of injustice in the system. It is a perception, but sometimes, perception could be reality.

‘’We need to look at the situation holistically, and where there is justification, you correct them, and where there is none, you explain to the people why they should not have doubts or fears about them, if you wish, even-handedness of the government towards any part of the federation.

‘’But it points to one fundamental thing, that, we are still in the process of forming a country.

‘’If we had had one solid firm country, you would have found that a lot of these fears would not arise; there would be common fears, common to everybody but now they are sectional fears, sectional problems which means we have not really forged a country and there is an absolute and urgent need for that to happen.

‘You have to renegotiate’

“You have to renegotiate. If you talk about renegotiation, some people think you want to split the country. No, it is like everytime they tell you to go and investigate somebody, you think it means you must go and find that person guilty. No, do not forget that they investigated Dr Alex Ekwueme and came back and said in fact, he was poorer than when he went in (to government). The people of Nigeria are dissatisfied with the current federal arrangement or whatever is binding them together now and are saying they want to renegotiate the terms of staying together.

‘’The President quoted Gowon. Gowon had said that keeping Nigeria one is a task that must be achieved. That task was achieved by military means. He (Buhari) is not a military man now, he is a democrat, a politician. So, the only means politicians have is to negotiate.

‘’So, what did you mean by you won’t negotiate? If you want to keep Nigeria one today, you must negotiate the terms and conditions of the people staying together and it goes back to the conference report, it goes back to the concept of fiscal federalism.

‘’You would find out that in the final analysis, that is what everybody would be saying to you. Go and study as religiously as you can, the constitutions of 1960 and 1963.

“What is restructuring? Several people have used that word and have not been able to say what they mean.

‘’The few that have actually attempted to say what they mean either end up talking about going back to the regions as we had them before or adopting the six-zonal structure that had been proposed for Nigeria, which actually is in current usage but has not been sanctioned by the constitution of Nigeria. Others just use the word restructuring because it is almost like a buzz word, it is a popular thing to say now.

‘’I do not want to be caught up in the semantics. I will subscribe, absolutely and entirely, to the concept of fiscal federalism. People ask what is the difference between fiscal federalism and restructuring and I will explain.

‘’I am convinced that fiscal federalism can be practised with even the 36 state-structure and one federal capital territory that we have today in Nigeria. In fact, I can say, it is a must, for there to be peace and harmony, understanding among the federating units.
