MrPRevailer:
Buhari and Biden are 5 and 6.

Globalist puppets intent on engineering nationwide famine, economic inflation and insecurities.

How’s is Biden and Buhari 5&6?
What empirical model or statistics give credence to your assumptions?
Biden won the election on the back of clear cut promises he made to the American people. Climate change, higher taxation to wealthy Americans to create a level playing field to low income families, inflation reduction act, students loans cancellation or pardon, build back better, reduction of prescription drugs for people living with diabetes and other health issues. To the best of my knowledge, the congress has approved most if not all of his agenda and these have been signed into law
Despite his old age, President is astute, intelligent and economical sound. Just last month, 500,000+ jobs were added to US economy.
Can you say any of this about Buhari??How many promises has Buhari yet to fulfill with with less than 8 months to finish his 2nd tenure? Your lord and savior Dumb Trump is enmeshed in series of illegalities with the latest espionage act violation.
As it stands now he risks going to federal prison.
Grow up boy. Then we can have an original thought to share.
Buhari is the most ethnically and religiously divided leader Nigeria has ever had. He remains the worst leader yet. Get the facts right. I mean no insult. please.

Strange comment @bolded.

It’s not strange. It’s true. Obi is married to my mom’s first cousin.

Hi guys. I just got an admission into Stutern to learn UI/UX design. Who here has attended Stutern before? What should I expect after graduation?

Is the payment worth it? Are the teachings immersive? Please, share your experiences with me. Thank you.

Sis,

Dm me and I’ll link you up with organizations here who might be interested to hire you when you’re done.
By the way, you don’t necessarily need to be a college grad to get hired.
Study hard and get the foundation of UI/UX, and there’s no telling what awaits you.
I pray for more grace on your path.
Best wishes!!!

Very sensible explanation. Thank you. I am
Not a politician. But these are sad economic realities on ground globally, and it does appear like Nigeria is the worst hit!!

olisaEze:
It’s like people don’t really understand that this administration is ruling as if they’re intentionally trying to sabotage the economy of this nation. Put aside the economic jargon, and the story is a straightforward one. Global prices and interest rates are on the rise, putting pressure on the finances of countries heavily indebted, who are struggling to pay the interest they owe on all the loans that they have taken out in recent years. That in turn is affecting their ability to keep their economies running — to feed their people, to provide fuel — even as they try to get things back on an even keel after the blows of the covid-19 pandemic.
The consequences now, as the debt crises gather pace and an already fragile global economy struggles with the fallout from the war in Ukraine, many indebted nations Nigeria inclusive, right now are facing the possibility of a series of collapses that could destabilize the lives of millions of people. In the worst-case scenario, “we could head into complete dystopia,” an “apocalypse” of sorts. Jayati Ghosh, an economics professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, said she fears a tide of “terrible economic devastation in many countries … a kind of descent into a combination of warlordism, extreme inequality, extreme material suffering. Just bad stuff. And lots of instability.” Sound familiar?? That is exactly why the insecurity in the country appears to be without end. Fuel prices are only on the increase while they feed their supporters stories of subsidy and years of PDP mismanagement. Why bandits are now getting prime screen time because Northern Nigeria is already in the grip of warlords, the South East is also sliding that way... dystopia! Keep believing it is business as usual with the politics, "government money no dey finish" as some idiots would say. Somalia of the early 90s is just around the next corner if the wrong candidate wins next year.

Are you a JW bro?

Yes I am
Send me a personal message.
Thanks Sis

This is the dumbest things I've read in years. What purpose will your raiding someone's legit business accomplish?
Has EFCC forgotten that the price of USD to naira is determined by market forces ( demand and supply) ? How many bureau de change will you guys raid in the whole Nigeria?
Sometimes, I really wonder whether individuals saddled with the responsibilities of law enforcement have some form of basic qualifications that makes them eligible.
As big as Nigeria is, Couldn't common sense tell you that as a consuming nation that import virtually everything, there will be insatiable demand for foreign currency that support the importation?
Sometimes, I truly wish these things were not true.

Not hating though,but I really don't believe in UK's educational standard anymore

Very funny! Which one do you believe in?? Nigeria’s educational system?

Chukstotti:
Hello, everyone, this is my first time posting any issue here but for this issue, I had to.

My girlfriend and I have been together for over two years and she's someone I would love to marry but she comes from a complicated family.
Her dad and mum stay in the same town but don't live together. The mum caters to four out of the six children they have while the other two who are guys live with friends. Her dad had financial issues and that was the beginning of the end of their marriage. Her dad doesn't know me but her mum does. Her mum knows of my relationship with her daughter and we have her approval.

Her dad was asked to leave the place he stays (a semi-completed building) because someone bought the entire building and renovation works have started.

The issue now is,
My girlfriend wants her dad to come to stay with me until he gets a place to rent for himself. That he would only stay till the end of the month. I stay in a room self-contained.
I am confused and doesn't want to disappoint my girlfriend because she loves her dad so so much. Of all his children she is the only one that cares about him.
Please I need your kind inputs.

Ops
I had a somewhat similar experience when I proposed to my wife. The dad ( of blessed memory) called me one day and told me that their house rent had expired for more than six and that he wanted me to give him a loan of 200K back then. He assured me that during the marriage, he’ll make it easy for me just to compensate for the loan.
Mehn, I was utterly embarrassed and couldn’t even tell this to any of my family members.
But I mentioned it to my guy who lived then with me.
He advised me against it indicating that it would be a recurring decimal.
But out of fear that the whole family might be homeless. I parted ways with 100K to help them make part payment for the rent.
Unfortunately, my would be father Inlaw ate the money
And few months after then, we got married and true to what my guy told me, he came back asking for more.

At that point it became clear to me that I was being taken for granted. And I told him that I can only give him the money if he allows me to pay the rent directly to the landlord. He consented and I paid for that year.
Before his passing, I have paid his rent for 5 consecutive years.
Moral of the story:
If you want to assist him, help him for the sake of humanity. But don’t forget that you’d probably keep supporting him in one way or the other as long as you’re with the daughter. I also hope he and his daughter won’t take you your kindness for granted

Good luck.

This is the end of every mortal

I beg to differ please. It may be then end to some
But not to all. Please when you have a chance kindly read Daniel 12: 2, John 5: 28,29, Act 24:15. There will be a resurrection. The dead will will again.

https://www.sunnewsonline.com/4-2-trillion-debt-service-economy-is-in-real-crisis-fg-admits/

Imagine!!!!

4.2 trillion US dollars just for debt servicing.
Now I see. This is what explains the level of economic hardship in the country. There’s no national planning.
Buhari actually acts before he thinks. The senate president and other senators should have objected to these mindless borrowing. United States as a nation spent 6.82 trillion dollars last year on their annual budget and the biggest chunk of the spending went on defense . If Nigeria a nation with no basic root to modern living services debt to the tune of 4.2 trillion dollars, then Finance minister has no business being in her role, CBN governor should honorably resign and apologize to Nigerians and Mr Buhari should be sent to Guantanamo bay after his tenure. He’s both a financial and real terrorist and Ahmed Lawan should face public execution

Addiction

You’re right. It’s simply addiction. Nicotine is very addictive. But I tell you what! No one is leaving this planet alive. Know that and know know peace!

Hello nairalands, i am so confuse right now. I just want to transistion into IT and i am confused between learning data science or becoming a software developer. I am so confuse. Help me to decide. I don't want to learn something that is not in demand. Which one is better

Both areas are very lucrative. Regardless of where you live in the world today, software engineering and data sciences are extensively needed and are now in higher demand than ever.One word of caution tho: for you to be very efficient in big data/data scientist, you need to hone your software skills first.I would suggest that you undertake courses on packages like: beam, splunk, Apache ,python and numpy,Keri’s, and Sckitt. Once you understand the concepts of those, you’ll be rolling great.
Hit me up @ +1 972 916 0188 for additional info

All the best

Hello travel guru's,

This thought keeps lingering in my mind for quite some time now and I taught I should drop it here for public opinion.

Please o, does having an MSc degree in a Nigeria institute really guarantee the possibilities of one securing a US/Canada visa?

Please Nairalanders, what's your take, kindly drop your taught on what your opinion.

Not necessarily. A lot depends of your motivation to travel. If you’re traveling for graduate studies, and you’ve been offered admission into a US or Canadian college, that might provide some merit, provided you meet every other criteria necessary to be allowed entry into the country.
Let me say this . American and Canadian government understand that most Nigerians simply want a way out of hardship in Nigeria. They also know how hard working Nigerians are.If you’ve worked for a US owned company in the past and a background check on run on you and your records are clean, your chances become higher and brighter.

Some talk na air with sound...

The one wey she wear wey person test come comot for body?

What type of BS is this? Even here in the US wealthy and informed people go to dollar general to get used cloth? Why is she chasing clout? How much does she have in her bank account?Is she better, wealthier or more educated than those who patronize okay business? Go and sleep Joor!!!

The Vice President Yemi Osinbajo delivers keynote remarks at the 2021 Liquified Petroleum Gas Week in Dubai, UAE an event that would run from Tuesday through Thursday.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CXLRNtJrdqL/?utm_medium=copy_link

Mr. Osibanjo, you should be ashamed of yourself. You are so shameless to travel to Dubai and give a lecture on liquefied Petrogas, and yet with all the abundant natural gas deposits we have in Nigeria, your government can’t make provision to refine it for local consumption. It’s a shame Pastor.I hope you did not fail to include the fact that your government is either incapable or unwilling to provide refineries to help your citizens.

Text of Press Briefing by the Hon Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on the decision by Britain to put Nigeria on its Red List over Covid-19….in Abuja on Monday, Dec. 6 2021

You are very foolish. Apostle of lies, deceit and incoherence.
Every responsible government is taking steps to contain the spread of viral infections. The ban meted out to Nigeria and other affected countries has nothing to do with politics. It is driven purely on empirical scientific evidences.

And to think that a few dozen cases of omicron will not warrant the ban is nothing but pure idiocy.
We have leaders who can’t think outside the box.
In this age and time, Lai Mohammed is still living in Stone Age.
Britain and Canada are super powers. They’ve taken steps to protect their citizens from the spread of Omicron virus. What is the FG of Nigeria doing to protect her own?
Nonsense and Lai Mohammed. When you wake up from your slumber, maybe we might have an original thought to share.

It is quite unfortunate that Northern Nigeria export poverty, backwardness, stagnation, illiteracy, hunger and other socially ill behaviours.
That's what they get from breeding like rabbit.

Civil Engineering is an occupation for intelligent, social, smart and hard-working people with great sense of humour. As a civil engineering graduate or undergraduate, you're expected to be civil and think ahead by relating with people of all walks of life. Also, you're expected to be well equipped with the technical know-how to succeed. Civil engineering is not mainly grammatical profession but practically and design skills related in addition to management and negotiation attributes.

I was 14 years old when I was offered admission to study building technology at Delta States Polytechnic, Ozoro. During my 2 years of study, I was able to think ahead, relate with different people and established a good relationship. I met someone who advised me to go for building/civil engineering designs, costing and construction skill during my industrial training. During my 1 year industrial training I didn't focus on making money but on how to get the technical know-how to succeed in the construction field. I learnt how to design all types of buildings using software such as AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCad etc. I also learnt structural analysis. A year later, I was offered admission to study Civil engineering at Delta States University. While in the University, I always sell myself, designing, analysis and costing skills to others. I also taught a lot of my colleagues and other engineering departmental guys how to design using engineering softwares. In so doing, I became popular among my engineering collagues and others regarding designs, analysis, costing and project execution/supervision. I do get small designs and construction contracts of residential buildings. While in the University I was leaving well and responsible for paying all my tuition fees without bothering my parents. All my family members, friends, church members aand neighbors are aware of my expertise in building/civil designs, analysis, costing, construction and supervision.

On a fateful day after my graduation from the University, I got a call from a strange number. I answered and was told someone gave my phone number regarding execution of a building/civil construction projects. With joy in my heart, I said yes I can handle any kind of building/civil engineering projects. He responded, I will get back to you in two days time.

I was wondering if the person wanted to play or fool me. So, in 2 days time, I got another call from the same person. He said, come to my house and let discuss. When I got to his house, he asked if I can design and handle an estate project ? I boldly said yes with smile. He briefed me on the proposed estate design and how they wanted it. He said go and work on the design without giving me a Kobo. However, I was surprised and curious to know how he got my contact. So, I politely asked him, sir, may I know who recommended me? He said, his son who attended Delta States Polytechnic, Ozoro told him about me. Meanwhile, I couldn't clearly figure out the name of his son, because the dad didn't introduce his full self to me. I couldn't recognized him because he was abroad for many years. He just returned to Nigeria 3 months ago of which I had move out from that location. As I was discussing with the dad, the son showed up smiling at me. So, I suddenly recall how I was a close pal of him back in the Polytechnics days. We do hangout together and discuss the future ahead.

I was really happy because I knew this is an opportunity to sell myself and expertise. I came up with 3 different good design concepts and presented to the man. 2 weeks later, I was invited to explain the 3 design concepts. I did as i was directed. Behold, they were impressed and told me to do the costing. I had to run a thorough costing of the proposed project which was six hundred and seventy five million naira (N675,000,000.00) only.

They all accepted and adopted the costing to be N670,000,000. To my greatest joy, the project was awarded for me to supervised. They brought 4 other site engineers while I was contracted to be the project superviser and Manager.

I was asked to drop my account details of which I did. 3 weeks later, I got an alert of 200,000,000.00 million naira as mobilisation and to get the project started.
When I got to the bank the next day, to my shock, my bank account has been frozen. I had to submit credentials to upgrade my account because I was still using student account. The project was executed and commissioned without any failure. I delivered excellently and the man and his family, friends and workers were impressed.

I made my first good 7 figures from this project and since then till date, the story has been more successful with good earnings of 7 figures through building/civil engineering.

Civil engineering is still one of the best course to study. However, you have to be serious during your years in the Polytechnics or University and during your industrial training. Equip youself and be prepared for any design, analysis, costing and construction opportunities/tasks that may come your way regarding your course of study. Opportunities are always opened for civil engineering graduates and undergraduates but the problem is that most of them lack the technical know-how to deliver excellently and succeed if given a project to handle. The first to fifth/tenth projects you will handle as civil engineering graduate or undergraduate will determine if you will go far in the profession or not based on your performance. These projects will always speak on your behalf and determine if you're worthy of recommendation. People will start to search for you and hire your services if you're able to deliver excellently handling contracts and projects.


Thanks.

My brother,

Reading your story is very inspiring.One takeaway from the story is that you're an honest, studious and hard-working man. You've allowing good work ethics and decorum to be a focus of your life and not chasing shadows. I am a Controls/Automation engineer and from my life's experiences, hard work, honesty, humility and above all faith in Jehovah God your maker pays.
Please keep up the good work! More Grace!

You're mad for comparing a Nigerian to a Chinese woman raised in the US. Have you seen the situation of this country? Don't you see the how bad things are in Nigeria? With poverty everywhere? You're comparing women in the poverty capital of the world to the US not even South Africa o or India sef, it is the United States of America.

Aunty,

You can do better than this. Can I shock you? Even Nigerian girls/Women here in the U S who are well off financially are no different from the one back in Nigeria. It’s in you people It’s a culture misnomer

siofra:
All these broke boys on here. Maybe sēun should make nairaland a paid site so that you people will reduce.

They are not broke They are saying the truth. I have a Chinese girl who was born and raise here in the U S( San Francisco) to be precise. She’s a neurologist and now studying to become a neurosurgeon. You see the mentality of entitlement is inherent in a typical Nigerian girl/woman. My girlfriend takes me to a restaurant and we share the bills. Even when I sometimes offer to augment her bills for rent, car note and insurance , she prefers to either take a loan from me and pay back later or simply get another credit card. A Nigerian woman feels it her right to be given and for the most part brings nothing meaningful or resourceful to the relationship other than sex, which is perhaps the cheapest thing here.
