For a child I trust as serious, I can. For otherwise, I won't.

See watchdog

Seriously, Dangote drivers need serious re-training, if not total overhaul. Its appearing that almost 80% of truck accidents involve a Dangote truck

marutimon: I believe you are mistaking him for John Utaka.
Peter Utaka has only 7 caps (most of them as subs), but three goals. Truth is Peter Utaka was never really given a chance, despite being a proven penalty fox.
Besides - I'm not necessarily suggesting Keshi takes him, but just proving that there were much better options than Akpala.

I'm surprised you mentioned I'm mixing up John and Peter.

But Peter Utaka has been tried in SE and wasn't exactly a success.

jennykadry: You enjoying torturing your family 45mins -1 hour wait? What happens when yous are traveling to other developed countries??I know the red passport carriers are eligible for the visa waiver program in some countries, so what happens with you? You apply for visa ? I did that a few times until hubby got mad

JK

Hmmnn, all the she-nairalanders I thought were single

jennykadry: I bought a blue one on my last trip to Nigeria, the minute they opened the biodata page they experienced the name I was trying to hide....FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, and the smile disappeared from the guy's face.

But it was a good way to hide it from fellow travellers

hahahahah...that was funny

jennykadry: I wish I read your post before posting mine.....I swear they know our passport

I don't think anybody will deny they not knowing our passport by colour, from distance sef, especially in popular routes/airports that Nigerians ply.

But whether they treat badly based on that is what people will debate.

The Schipol guy did not treat me badly, he just made that remark.

Imanuelle: But peace mass no dey use passport nah. ..

Indifferent.

But it appears those airport/immigration officers see Nigerian passport with special interest//attraction. Was in Amsterdam early May en route Edinburgh, when one Dutch officer, on sighting my passport, retorted: "people that carry this passport normally transit in early flights, your people have passed, how come you're just going with afternoon connection" (words to that effect), meaning he took special interest in Nigerian passport.

Uruguay again. Dem send them to us

Lagosboy: Hey Jarus! Nice cute bungalow u got there. Where is it located. In'sha Allah you will round it up sooner than you thought.

Brothers and sisters, let's make this a reality. We are going to 160k, still a long way to go!

Admitwithschola: Hi,
No need going for anything Economics again since your sole aim is to do salary work. Development finance will be more reasonable and should help to broaden your reach. However, if you must do Economics, make sure you make 1 or 1.3 or at worst 1.7 out of 5 (German system is opposite—1 is the highest and 5 is the smallest). This will help you continue your studies at good schools in America or there in Europe. Meanwhile, you can begin ACCA there in Europe, instead of coming to naija to begin ICAN from the scratch. If they write ICAN where you are now, then you can take it there. The goal is for you to not wait till you reach naija before you begin a professional exam. If you do so, you will have wasted time.
There is no guarantee that you will or will not get a job when you do eventually return to Nigeria at 31. However, one thing you need to know is that there are people that are way below 31 years old, with master’s and professional qualifications, who are yet to get reasonable jobs. There is no hard and fast rule to getting a job in Nigeria. You just need to be lucky, well-prepared and favoured by God. It becomes more likely when you have well connected people who are willing to assist you.. But connection alone does not guarantee anything. You need to hold your own too.

If you can, I suggest you start your career abroad. If you come back straight to naija and have not had previous work experience, many, not all, companies will price you below 150K Naira per month. And I think they are fair because the reality is that someone with a graduate degree and no experience hardly has anything to offer nowadays, except the job is research based, similar to what I do. That is only when your academic research skills will come in helpfully handy.
There was a time when a master’s from naija landed people assistant manager position, but unfortunately that era seems to have passed. The only time such is very possible, in my view, is when one has a graduate degree from one of those fancy schools abroad..But,…people with such fancy degrees won’t come to naija and compete for 300k per month job.


Finally, I selectively give professional and academic advice for a fee. That is why my user name is admitwithschola. I am planning on going large scale and charging good money. My success rate over the years has been huge. You may just be one of my clients someday.

Admit.

Nice one.

dreal1: The company is acting in a fiduciary capacity...tax collected is to be remitted to the government...so, it is NEITHER an income NOR asset, it is a LIABILITY to them until it is remitted when the liability account will be debited and bank account credited...

Hope this helps...

Well answered.

Questions that keep coming to my mind:

1, Were Oscar a Spaniard, will he make Spain's first 11?

2, Were Fabregas a Brazilian, will he not make Brazil's first 11?

3, Oscar is at best only a little better than our own Victor Moses, will VM have made Brazilian national team?

4, Will Mikel Obi make the first team (i.e first 11+3 sure sub) of any national team in the world, Brazil, England, Argentina and Spain in particular?


Analysts, over to you!

You are not yet a champion until you beat the real king of football, Brazil.

Brazil may fumble in their continental (countries as small as EEcuador, Peru beat them - and as you all can see, their continental. Bnmrival, Uruguay gave them the toughest challenge in this tournament), but they are a different team entirely when they get to world stage.

They even came to this competition as hosts, just as they struggled to qualify for 2002 WC, only tto win.

[quote author=k.style]Spain's era of domination is fast comin 2 an end..[/quote]Dominating for 5 years is enough achievement. France didn't reign that long, although unlike Spain, they beat Brazil in their reign.

I'm beginning to like Neymar like I do for Messi. I think he's got character.

No space for tiki taka in this match.

For now, jogobonito prving more effective.

caprini: If Spain could hold Nigeria,who is Brazil?Nigeria would flog this over hyped Brazil team.Not to talk of the masters...ESPANA.

Nigeria holding Spain? With 3 unreplied goals?

Well, if Nigeria is able to beat Uruguay, then they can talk of 'flogging overhyped' Brazil.

Nigerians and their on-paper football. Even after chopping 3 from Spain.

This is the real test for Spain.

You're not yet King of football until you beat Brazil in a consequential competitive match.

When Zidane-inspired France ruled 1998-2002, they beat Brazil along the way.

Spain has been ruling in the last 5 year, but never met Brazil. Let's see whether they will ice the cake tonight.

My money is on Brazil though.

[quote author=elebua][/quote]Check my blog: www.jarushub.com

Merely looking at Confderations cup draw, a good fotball analyst should be able to predict how it went: Spain and Uryguay to qualify from Group B, Brazil and Italy to qualify from Group A, Brazil to eliminate Uruguay, Spain to eliminate Italy and Brazil-Spain 50-50 final. That's the natural expectation based on the pedigree of the teams. And it so happened, no upset.

Although few analysts fancied Nigeria's chance against Uruguay (which they almost proved, as Uruguay won not because they were better that night, but because they were more disciplined). The odds naturally favoured Uruguay.

So what are we saying?

When Cameroun got to final in 2003, they had more world class players(Eto'o, Foe etc) and except Brazil that they beat 1-0, they didn't meet strong opposition enroute final (Colombia and co).

Still a decent outing IMO, and a lesson for us on the missing link: attack.

siddiq202: The club he played for last year caused him the slot plus there was no vacancy

Was liverpool/Athletico Madrd greater than Arsenal/Man U?

siddiq202: Both Torres and VP are fantastic players but right now, Torres is not in VP class

Current form, maybe. But all-time, nah.

The man spoke my mind

Keshi is doing a good job. He is on course. Let's support him.

We didn't expect to win Confederations cup, we are not there yet. Uruguay and Spain are not our mates in fball, losing to them is no big deal.

They have won good matches.

I also don't have any issue with him trying out all these fringe/uncapped Nigerians players in Europe (Akpala, Ujah, Babatunde and co). He gave them chance. With their performance in Europe, if Keshi did not call them, we will all shout. If you follow Marutimon's Goals from Nigerians abroad thread on NL here since 2011, we all called for these guys to be tried out.

Let's watch Keshi. He is on course.

Adufaye: okay! Let's watch nd see if robin won't b nominated

Which year?

When even at his peak last year, he didn't make Top 3 like Torres did at hiw own peak.

Torres was voted 3rd best player in the world in 2008, behind only Ronaldo and Messi. Just to show how high he reached at the height of his career.

He is just advising you and reminding you to put in plans. Started mine one year after securing my first job. Today, 4 years on, 95% completed

I agree with OP

There is nothing like having one's own house.

Alhamdulilah, close to rounding up mine too. You can imagine th fulfilment that comes with it.

Billionaire businessman and Globalcom owner, Chief Mike Adenuga reportedly paid a whopping sum of 200million naira to secure a space for his burial spot in a cemetery.

The cemetery is at the Vaults and Garden, an ultra modern cemetery in Ikoyi, Lagos, situated beside Federal Radio Corporation Of Nigeria.

The cemetery which was opened in October 30th, 2006 by former Lagos state governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has a spot for the rich and another spot for the "super" rich.

A space for the rich costs from N750,000 and above, while that of the "super" rich costs from N40million and above. There you will enjoy a lush lawn, a balcony, beautiful gate, garden, more space, and all that..

It was also reported that the billionaire's sister, Mrs Esther Osunade, who died in 2009 was buried at the few most expensive spot beside Gboyega, son of another super rich man.

Does it really matters where one is buried when he's dead? Will the beautiful heaven on earth spot you are buried determine where you'll be going? We all know the answer!

That should be Gboyega 'Gbegi' Ojora. Son of Otunba Kunle Ojora. Died of liver issue in 2010.
