Hmm , Nigeria.. where in d world would u hear this except nigeria. Y don't they plan on building new ones.
I tire o

No, the issue is where in the world are there brains like yours that read things in inverted order. You read A and you make B-Z meaning to it. This is how people fail exams.

I dey come

OK let's start.

1. You need to check your grammar.

2. Don't use the same CV for every job. You have to craft different CVs for different jobs. I saw a particular CV style on NL some time ago. I can tell you, it worked plenty magic. The one that has your skills first, jobs experience and your educational qualifications. Will explain more on this later

3. Try and write a cover letter. Your cover letter also has a style. Try and tell a story, make it personal and weave it to show you know the job. It should not in anyway contain what you have in your CV, no way. We recently advertised some jobs, 98% of cover letters were the same, copy and paste. Nothing special. It was a sad experience.

4. You don't apply for every job. Look for the job you have some experience in or related academic work.

5. To be continued.........

What are you saying

(Bloomberg) -- President Goodluck Jonathan left the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange after a visit two weeks ago to traders singing “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow”. Some investors would prefer that he keeps walking.

Since rising to a five-year high in July, Nigeria’s benchmark stock index has plummeted 30 percent and is now only 11 percent higher than when Jonathan took office in May 2010. Stocks in South Africa and Kenya rallied 90 percent in the period, while those in Zambia and Ghana more than doubled. The naira fell to a record in February, and domestic government bond yields of almost 16 percent are the highest among 31 emerging markets monitored by Bloomberg indexes.

“It’s been horrible,” Ayodele Salami, who oversees $200 million of Nigerian assets as chief investment officer of Duet Asset Management, said by phone from London on Feb. 23. “Foreigners have been getting out of equities and fixed income. Bond yields in Nigeria are now astronomically high.”

Jonathan’s failure to wean Nigeria off its reliance on oil, and save surplus revenue when crude prices were trading at record highs, is coming back to haunt his campaign for a second term in office. A plunge in crude of almost 50 percent since June risks slowing economic growth in 2015 to half the pace set over the past 15 years. A win for his opponent, Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, may tempt foreign investors back to Africa’s biggest economy and spur a rally in Nigerian assets, according to Holger Siebrecht at Boston-based Acadian

Asset Management.

Election Delay
The election was delayed by six weeks after security forces said they needed more time to defeat an insurgency by Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which killed 4,700 people last year, according to U.K.-based risk consultancy Verisk Maplecroft. With lower oil prices slashing export revenues, the International Monetary Fund forecasts growth of 4.8 percent this year, about half the average of the past 15 years.
Buhari, a 72-year-old former military ruler, is seeking to unseat Jonathan, 57, in what is set to be the nation’s closest election since Nigeria ended military rule in 1999.

Standard & Poor’s downgraded the West African country on March 20 to B+, four levels below investment grade, citing loss of income from oil and rising political risks. Nigeria, which has long had a reputation for endemic graft, ranked 136 of 175 countries in Transparency International’s 2014 Corruption Perceptions Index, level with Russia and Iran.
Buhari’s APC aims to boost economic growth to 10 percent and increase employment by providing cheap loans to small businesses, according to a manifesto on its website. Jonathan said on March 12 he will sell more state companies to the private sector if he wins and encourage oil, power and telecommunications firms to list on the stock exchange. His spokesman, Doyin Okupe, didn’t respond to Bloomberg’s telephone calls and text messages seeking comment.

‘More Effective’

“We think the market may welcome a win by General Buhari,” Siebrecht, who helps oversee $360 million of emerging-market debt at Acadian, said in an e-mailed response to questions on Tuesday. “Buhari is likely to be more effective than Jonathan” at tackling corruption and Boko Haram, and managing the government’s finances amid falling earnings from oil, he said.
Acadian joined investors including Morgan Stanley and TCW Group Inc. in cutting exposure to Nigerian assets in the last quarter of 2014. Foreign investors have reduced their holdings of naira government bonds to 14 percent of the total from as much as 27 percent in 2012, according to Standard Chartered Plc. Outflows from the equity market were the highest in November since at least 2012.
“If the government had saved substantially during the period of high oil prices, the nation would have had buffers to cushion the slide in the naira and by extension the stock market,” Sewa Wusu, head of research at Sterling Capital Markets Ltd., said by phone from Lagos on March 20.

The main problem for investors remains the naira, which has weakened 18 percent against the dollar in the past six months. While the currency rebounded 1.9 percent this month to 199.05 per dollar as of 3:32 p.m. in Lagos, trading restrictions imposed by the central bank mean it is overvalued and will probably weaken after the election, according to Investec Asset Management.

‘Foreign Flows’

“Investors are waiting for the election to pass, and they’re also waiting for the naira to devalue,” Joseph Rohm, a money manager at Investec, which oversees $107 billion, said by phone from Cape Town on March 20. “Once you see the naira devalue further you’ll see foreign portfolio flows back into Nigeria again.”

Forward prices imply the naira will weaken to 244 against the dollar in six months and 261 in a year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Nigerian stocks trade at 7.9 times forward earnings, the lowest level after Zimbabwe among African bourses tracked by Bloomberg. They will probably rally whoever wins the election, but will be more buoyant if Jonathan is voted out, according to Lanre Buluro, head of research at Lagos-based Primera Africa.

“If Buhari comes in we believe the rally will be much more sustained,” said Buluro. “It would be a breath of fresh air. The country’s been ruled by the same party for 16 years.”

soe:
my question too o..all i need is his phone number o

Me ma get the same question. The guy has been with him like forever. Who is he

I spoke with a number of Igbos living in the north and working in the banking industry over there. They confirmed that the statistics is true. One marketer in particular says when they come to open bank accounts, you see everyone with Voters card. He never believed they would all collect their voters card.

You guys must give it to Amaechi.

If you ever lived in PHC during Odilli era and you come back to see what PHC is now ehnn.

You will shout for Joy

sammieblaize:
Dude this picture is noway in nigeria and has existed since 2009 op get reasonable facts b4 posting

I think the picture was even taken in the 80s and found its way into the internet around the period you said

This people will use anything in their bid to score points.

This gives you an idea of how they deceive themselves.

MCMLXXVI:
Is this the way this character Amaechi plans to round up his tenure as Rivers State governor? Perpetually living in Lagos since December 2013?

The same way you are rounding up your life on Nairaland since last year

pak:
That should be Gbile Akanni on the extreme right
He's a wonderful gentleman

Me I think its Bishop Francis Wale Oke

March 13 2013 news.
nna menh, this desperation is something else.

I pray you guys dont kill yourselves last last

Acidosis:
I think you should also consider the number of businesses the Corporate Affairs Commission has registered over the past 4 years.

By "job" do you mean those who wear suit and resume office 7 am? or those engaging in profitable and legal ventures?

Take a trip to CAC office at Ikeja and you will be amazed at the rate at which Nigerians troop in to get their businesses registered.

I won't stop insulting Nigerians because our level of reasoning is sooo low.

How can a normal human being examine job creation in the context of Immigration and UBA job? Are you guys really du.m b or you just choose to be du. mb on special threads against GEJ?

Do you know the number of graduates who now own their private schools? farms? e-businesses? where was nairaland 6 years ago and where is Nairaland today? who are those paying for the massive adverts on Nairaland today? What are they advertising? Poo?

Why not take statistics from CAC, FRSC? Why don't you analyse the rate at which youths get legal wealth, build houses, buy cars these days?

The world has moved away from the era of Civil Service/Servant most of you are advocating. This is the same evil your past military governments planted in your fore heads & corrupt eyes such that your eyes now view JOB creation ONLY in the context of SHELL, NNPC & CBN - that can barely take 100 employees (all together) in a whole year.

By the way, who says Govt aren't recruiting? The army Is currently recruiting graduates; go and get a form and stop perpetrating propaganda on the Internet. Some of us are not blind. We are aware of the fact that Dangote has recruited thousands of graduates over the past few years. We can see new lecturers In the new institutions, etc.

No government is perfect; none can do all; no one!

Guy park well joor.

What do you know about impact Analysis.

How does the rate of business registration translate to enhanced livelihood, job creation etc.

All for what you will eat, you cannot reason well.

Between 2004-2008, I had over 30 job invitations even when I had a good job.

Now I have so many young ones around me, i cannot even get them invited for a job
text unlike that period.

Guy, no let me abuse you oo

opiaoku:
Mbu the gallant cop


Tinubu is a bastard
Fashola is a hooligan
Gej till 2019

This is why PDP is dying. You people cannot stop cursing people.

the guy is just bitter. he should watch his heart.

I love the fact that FFK kept talking about NIGERIANS not appreciating what GEJ has done.

I think the hatred GEJites have fro Ameachi stems from the way he carries himself. He is so relaxed,
and happy. They actually dont like this which is why there are very bitter and angry and always cursing.

Its even around every airport

The English sef tire me
