No straight flight from Benin to Kaduna.

Benin to Abuja by air, then Abuja to Kaduna by road (2 hours), is what I think can be done.

I shake my head for the kind of things that preoccupy our media space

Cartoon and caricaturing of political events are media practice anywhere in the world.

I have heard much about him in the last 3 years.

No big deal in my opinion.

Well educated people use their cars for uber (and drive) in other countries.

Update: The front page headline doesn't say she's a woman. Thought it was because she's an accountant, the basis for me saying no big deal. That she is a woman makes it a big deal.

While the dead older guy in the van looks like Joshua Ocholi, the minister's son, I will not be surprised if this picture is that of another accident entirely.

It's the OP that was fooled. I didn't even see this not to talk of being fooled.

No one with average intelligence would have seen this and not know it's photoshop.

rubbish this is why I love air transport system. Where the idiots wey wan hang for up rob us?

Lmao

You served in Sokoto 07/08? Can you remember the 'corper' that wrote article against governor in the newspaper?

CharlesPhc:
Tribute to Late Nasir (Sokoto State Commissioner on ICT) by a Former Youth Corp member from Port Harcourt who served in Sokoto State during the 2007/2008 Service Year


The news of your demise came to me as a very rude shock.

Sir, I remembered how as a Youth Corp Member serving in Sokoto State in 2007 (immediately after Gov. Wammako was sworn-in as Governor of the State) I was still working on my ICT Community Development Service (CDS) when I got a call from you, as you simply introduced yourself as Nasir and invited me over to your office (formerly World Health Organization (WHO) Office at the State Secretariat) for a brief chat; When I got there, you told me how my project had got the Governor's attention and the Governor had directed you to get in touch with me and make sure I was not lacking in anything I needed to complete the task.

I showed you the timeline of the project and the date of unveiling which in your own words you said “It’s always my pleasure to encourage young men like you who understand what it means to give back to the society without expecting anything in return”

Sir, as we went on together, you did everything possible to bring the Governor to be the Special Guest of Honor on my unveiling ceremony as a way of encouraging me and my work as you had promised and when the Sokoto State NYSC Authorities declined to grant the request for the Governor to grace the occasion, you were undeterred and your presence that day (in your capacity as the SSA to the Governor on ICT) added all the colors and boasted the morale of those Secondary School students you ensured were empowered even though no one knew how you were immensely and extremely instrumental behind the scene. Your passion for the empowerment of young people in Sokoto State through ICT was indeed so inspiring that you would not be forgotten even in death.

Sir, those emails from you even after I’d left Sokoto State were something else and each time I read through them over and over again, I realized the importance of selfless service to humanity. This was why the news of your sudden and untimely demise came to me as a very rude shock which I am yet to come to terms with.

As I write this, I am certain those young men and women from different Secondary Schools in Sokoto State whom you empowered would appreciate the fact that you were their hero and would always live to remember your legacy and the impact you made in their lives.

Adieu Sir..!!! Adieu the lifter of the young generation…!!! Adieu Nasir..!!! May your soul Rest in Peace. Amen

From Mr. Charles
The Youth Corper from Port Harcourt (as I was been called then)

umarwaheed:

Had he been sick?

EgunMogaji:
Thank you Jarus.

It's always easy for others to play hypothetical games with other people's money.

I can't even imagine wasting money on a professional Quantity Surveyor.

I finished my Lagos home late last year and already living there.

Just speaking to surveyor now on survey of tge place.

He's billing me some hundreds of thousands. Now, I can do that at my pace. If Ibothered too much on those add ons and had spent all those monies on those things from inception, I may not have finished the project now.

Also, the best way to secure land in Lagos is to start building on it without delay. A close person that we bought the land together is currently battling omo onile for reselling his land while he was still delaying starting due to getting survey etc done before starting at all.

feeloscar:
And you feel it's OK abi?

No, but errmm, it saved me time and avoidable 'paparazzi'.


My point is, let the guy start with that simple, probably amtaeur design, rather than have him get all sorts of professionals being recommedned here who may charge him up to 100k which is up to 20% of the foundation cost he complaining about.

UnimkeAk:
jesus christ.
the kind of wack designs i see everyday on nairaland makes me wanna puke.
no flow , poor lighting and aeration. etc
how do u guys intend to build and live in that, in this 21st century.

please stop giving out your design jobs to quacks and local draftsmen that dont want to upgrade.
they are good architects [young men so the price should be fair enough] in all the nooks and corners of this damn country.

Oga, it is when you have money that you think of all these.

I started my Lagos bungalow with a sketch on paper by myself. It was later after foundation is almost half-way that I got architect regularise it.

506k for foundation of a 2-bedroom is a good quote.

realjoker:
Buharist or should i say the zombies among Buharist because i am a Buharist but not a zombi, stop this foolish act, must every house built or car bought by percieve enemy or opposition party member be from the proceed of corruption. If a low ranking member of apc built or bought such kind of house without even holding a position that warrant his legitimate earning to built such house we wont hear this kind of internet brawl. Enough of this stupidity please.

This is from SR.

Hmm. Cowbell our milk. She is indeed industrious, I bet she can breastfeed 5,000 people without running out of stock. FG should consider signing MOU with her for school feeding.

So can we begin to troop to the nearest PwC office to collect our 5k?

profstar:

RIP, pls what is d cause of d accident? Was it bad road, recklessness or faulty of d bus?

Looks like a lone accident (burst tyre).

cruzita:
mourihno destroyed Mikel ,but u can see changes in his games under this new manager .I have always known Mikel to be a game killer ,he doesn't push attacks ,u give him pass at the midfield and he sends it back to the keeper,but now he gives accurate passes,opens up to receive passes and even tries to score. Under hiddink I think we are going to see more of Mikel.I rest my case

It may be 10 years late though.

oyb:
useless naija mechanics

most of our artisans are incompetent, integrity challenged buggers who have no qualms about doing a bad job and collecting top dollar

I learnt the hard way that I no reach to use Range yet

Spent 1m within 3 months on fixing gear and related issues. The maintenance cost almost sent me back to my village. I just sell the thing jare.

IkpuMmadu:
Oga I know these ...I did not ask you the difference between auto tranny and shift

I asked if Range Cars come in manual shift ? I know they come in auto but have not seen manual shift

Ok. Not seen any manual. But can't say whether there're.

Not a car freak like that. Don't know much about cars - other than mine.

Kashif:
ZF transmissions are reliable. It must have been poor diagnostics. You would have been saved from even the first change, if done properly.

I agree. It was largely my fault.

Didn't want to use Coscharis and other top companies, went to use roadside mechanics at Ladipo (although Land Rover specialist) who were probably gambling.

goodgate:
Very Apt Analysis,but Mike Adenuga prefer Range Rovers and G.Wagons.

I would have thought those are too ordinary for a Mike Adenuga.

IkpuMmadu:
does range come in manual drive ?

Doesn't auto use gear/transmission system?

Isn't the difference is, one changes itself "automatically" and the other the driver "manually" changes it?

Kashif:
What car was that?

Range Rover.

No.

1, At some point as you progress, some past jobs become irrelevant. I don't need to put my NYSC experience on my CV again. I had it there 8 years ago.

2, Except the job I'm applying for relates to investment banking, I don't put my few months experience in investment banking 9 years ago on my CV again.

3, If you change job every 6 months and have like 10 past experiences with different companies, leave out some, (like when you were shop keeper in a supermarket, when you were filling station attendant, etc) else it will make your CV unwieldy.
