Your type will duck if I throw a knockout now...... Mtchewwwww

Hahahahahahahaha...praising common criminals... is the action of these criminals now fight between Yorubas and Niger Deltans? Even the police who escaped is a Niger Deltan. I hope you will say the same when these criminals are washed down their early graves.... noise maker.

Why are igbos always abusive using ethnic slurs? The same governor appointed igbo as commissioner we did not hear igbos abusing Yorubas... APC spokesperson is igbo... igbos have always been appointed as commissioners in Lagos, why should Hausa/Fulanis be an exception and warrant ethnic bashing from short sighted trabalist igbos?

For some time now, some of us from Europe and US have been trying to respond to some adverts for jobs posted by universities in Nigeria. Unfortunately, such adverts require you to physically deliver 30 or more copies of typewritten CV and application letter asking for some ridiculous information in some cases e.g. the date you got born again, the date you got sanctified, the date you got baptized and whether you are a worker or not. But what is common is the physical delivery of 10 + copies of typewritten CV. In this 21st century, this is a disgrace to our educational system. With this kind of backwardness exhibited by the administrators of these universities, I am having a second thought about returning home. My people, what can you say about this?

Canavisaexpert is a confirmed scam. A friend narrated how they tried hard to collect his credit card numbers and pins. How can you demand credit card number and pin from someone, not even the bank that issued that card has the legal right to demand such sensitive a information. The friend claims he is going to report them to the security to deal with these indian criminals. I think these folks should be reported to appropriate agency in Nigeria and Canada. I am going to take up this matter here in Canada.
