Why are people so callous? Because of material things like cars, phones...things that will soon be out of date, you killed a man
Please, be careful...people are envious of your success...

Snake related topics have always been entertaining and enlightening when posted on Nairaland front page.
Snakes are perceived differently among people in the Nigerian society. Some cultures worship them, while some hate them. Nevertheless, they are good sources of delicious food due to their soft, fleshy meat. They also help to generate revenue to hunters and those that export them and their by-products to the international markets
In view of the above, a group of researchers from the University of Ibadan and the University of Ilorin, Nigeria, did a study to understand how Nigerians perceive snakes and the following reactions to such encounters, using Nairaland as their study site.
They found out that when humans encounter snakes, fear and food were the major perceptions elicited by the respondents. Majority of the outcomes of these human-snake encounters usually lead to the death of these snakes, regardless of the snake's venomosity....

Waoh..lovely gesture by the president in giving part of his native land for the building of the mosque. I hope he will give another part of his land for the building of schools and hospitals....for posterity sake

If you look at the situation from the above post, the likely peoplw dt might plant those guns there might be the police. Will Dino be foolish to hide guns in the flower pots..? I fear for this country

Hi @ blackbuddy. Thank you for the information. I am grateful. However, I still want to know if I will need to renew my driver's license before I come to Canada. It expired in 2016. If yes, do you think a temporary license will suffice as a validated driver's license in Canada.
Thank you once again as you answer my question

Hello guys,
I want to thank you for assisting fellow nigerians to settle down in Canada. God bless you.
I am a Nigerian trained veterinarian with a nigerian masters in food animal medicine and a UK masters degree in global health and development. I will be landing in Canada in September.
1) Please what are the cities that have good job opportunities available for veterinarians or people with my background (vet with global health ) in Canada.
2) I have an expired driver's license (2016) obtained in Nigeria. Do i have to obtain an international driver's license to facilitate my driver's license permit in Canada. If yes, how can I go about obtaining the international driver's license in Nigeria.
3) Are there any bridging programs for foreign-trained veterinarians in Canada?
Thank you as you help me out.
@blackbuddy @adeballerz @thecongo2 @fusion23 @maternal etc

I dont understand how our Nigerian celebs think....She was on a boat ride without her safety jackets.....just to show off her boobsies...even her mobile security escort knows the right thing to do.....God forbid if any unfortunate accident should happen.....she would have no one to blame except herself

Ladies, especially the unmarried ones, I am talking to you
....you, that is reading this message......look carefully before you jump into any relationship.....dont be swayed by the latest cars, swag, trips and outing.....kindly get to know the person and pray too......what trips you now....the latest cars, blings etc, wont matter in the nearest future...dont sell your destiny on a platter of copper.....a word is enough for the wise

I was planning of studying water resources engineering in vrije universitiet Brussels and I wrote this.

Availability of potable water in Nigeria has been a lingering problem since her independence. Despite huge investments, access to clean and readily available water is still a mirage. Nigerians use water the gather themselves from wherever they can get (streams, ditches, lakes, wells, etc.) but, most of it is untreated. This leads to high cases of waterborne diseases, threatens farming and causes low level of school enrollment especially in the country’s rural north (USAID). The north falls within the Sahel savannah characterized by scanty rainfall, vegetation and extreme temperatures. This region is populated by farmers who depend on water for their livelihood. They need water for their crops and animals. Because of scanty rainfall, overgrazing has further depleted the soil cover exposing the soil to excessive evaporation and moisture deficit. These farmers often resort to digging shallow wells to augment surface water from few dams in the area. Lack of rainfall causes the water levels in these well to fall short. The induced drought poses a serious threat to human lives in this area.
In Nigeria’s Niger Delta region which is where most major rivers and their tributaries empty into the Atlantic Ocean, surface water supply is in abundance. Pollution, particularly from oil exploitation, frequently render these sources of water almost unfit for drinking and for other purposes. During peak periods of rainfall, nearby communities suffer excessive damage—loss of farmlands, houses and other key infrastructure—from flood. From the foregoing, Nigeria’s water resources sector is in a state-of-emergency, hence, my motivation to study water resources engineering.
Water resources engineering involves the design of new systems, equipment that help manage human water resources. Through the analysis of data gathered from relevant areas, the engineers can design equipment that can ensure the continuous supply of clean, uncontaminated water for drinking, recreational and other purposes, as well as handle extreme hydrological events. Remote sensing is the art and science of obtaining information about an object, area or phenomenon through the analysis of data acquired by a device that is not in contact with the object, area or phenomenon under investigation. I wish to take advantage of Nigeria’s space satellites to provide adequate water resources data for the planning and design of water projects in Nigeria. As a result of these, my thesis will be focused on the application of remote sensing in water resources management.
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in electronics and computer technology. While offering the length and breadth of this course, I gained basic knowledge through my tutelage in courses like advanced mathematics, mechanics and property of matter wherein I studied fluid mechanics, engineering drawing, atmospheric physics, etc. In 2011, I also had some professional experience through internship with Ciscon Nigeria Limited which enhanced my understanding of liquid flow and mechanics. I am eager to adopt and learn new technologies that will lead to the availability of potable water throughout Nigeria, and the efficient management and conservation of Nigeria’s water resources. I hope to, at the end of my study, partner with the Federal Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Environment, National Space Research and Development Agency(NARSDA) and National Centre for Remote Sensing (NCRS) to develop a well-articulated and integrated water resources management through the hydrological mapping of water bodies, geological survey and aerial photographic interpretation-which is still underutilized in Nigeria. I also wish to assist the government in the training of personnel in the area of remote sensing.
My decision to obtain a Masters of Water Resources Engineering at the Vrije Universiteit Brussels was borne out of the fact that Belgium has a good reputation of high quality education standards. An extremely distinguished faculty members, research facilities and English classes are also factors which informed my decision to opt for the Vrije Universiteit Brussels.Moreover, I feel I am responsible for making such big move in this field and this admission will avail me a huge opportunity to be remembered for my impact in the water resources sub-sector of Nigeria.
Thank you for your consideration.

Yours sincerely,
Arubayi, Rukeme

Arubayi Rukeme's Personal Statement for MSc. Water Resources Engineering, Vrije Universiteit Brussels -September 2018.

I can recollect vividly an event that made an impression on my mind while I was younger. My father built a magnificient house in the reserved areas of Abeokuta, Ogun State. We were elated as a family when my daddy told us that we will soon move to our house. His reasons border on not spending a new year in a rented apartment and our rent in our old house would soon expire - it was not economical to be paying rents when we have our posh apartment. There was lot of positive feelings of the sense of ownership of our new house when we moved there. Unfortunately, despite the exclusiveness in terms of location of our residence, we did not have access to potable water. It was as if the government forgot to plan our area in her scheme of things. My daddy had to look for an alternative - a very common solution available to the Nigerian masses - which was to look for the manual labourers to dig up the earth in search of water. As Abeokuta is located on a rocky topography, these men dug up lots of wells in search of water; all to no avail.Lots of funds and manpower were wasted. It was this frustruation that made my father to look for a cheaper way of getting water, which was buying water from vendors.This experience etched in my memory that technology was the way forward in simplifying and finding solutions that will benefit my country and Africa as a whole.
This made me pursue an electrical and computer technology course in the University of (insert the name of your Uni. Here). While in the University, I applied myself in the acquisition of knowledge especially in the areas of fluid mechanics and property of matter. Despite the limitations involved in the acquisition of a proper education in Nigeria, I overcame this challenge and finished with a 2.1.
I am passionate about finding solutions to the local challenges in my society. In 2011, my passion made me seek an internship with Ciscon Nigeria Limited which enhanced my understanding of liquid flow and mechanics. I gained a lot of insight while working with esteemed mentors in the field of water resources.
Doing a masters of science in Water Resources Engineering, Vrije Universiteit Brussels will equip me in learning new technologies that will lead to the availability of potable water throughout Nigeria, and the efficient management and conservation of Nigeria’s water resources. Fortunately, my country Nigeria, has invested in the space satellite technology for environmental research. I hope to take advantage of this technology in formulating my thesis that will be applicable to improving water technology in Nigeria. Therefore, my thesis will be focused on the application of remote sensing in water resources management.
I am hopeful that the Vrije Universiteit Brussels will equip me with relevant knowledge that will aid my contribution in alleviating water challenges in Nigeria. Her highly recognised lecturers will serve as mentors that will help me to meet my career goals. In addition, Vrije Universiteit Brussels will give me an opportunity to have long term friends since it is a multicultural institution. I hope that I will serve a s a good ambassador of the university in my country at the end of the program. Being an alumni of this institution will be a fruitful endeavour.Thank you.

@rukidanty...can i know your initial course of study...voluntary experience leadership experience...work experience and what the course you want to do entails

Thank God no life was lost...
I pray that as the year goes to an end...may none of us or our relatives die before the year runs out in Jesus name

I cant criticize this man of God....I read one of his books titled....ideas rule the world...
My life was never the same...it changed my thought patterns...
By the way, I have never been to his church before

..the man in the middle( red attire) in the last picture resembles bobrisky...
Why are they dressing weird...trying to combine the igbo, scottish, english dressing with pastoral dressing...
Why are the poor and the workers not invited?
Jesus dined with the poor..while the modern nigerian pastor dines with the rich...

To those commenters that do not cherish sound and quality minds....i shake my head for you...
I do notice that our youths celebrate entertainers...those that do not add substance to our societal development....and neglect the so called contributors to the society
Alas, I read a book on evolution from the Sahelophethecus found in Chad to australopithecus down to homo habilis, homo erectus, homo rhodiesiense, to our present homo sapiens... I learnt that adaptability plays a key role in evolution...
If evolution is real, with our current approach to societal development via our values, we would not be able to adapt to the changing environmental vagaries....thereby leading to a wipe off of our lineages

..i trust that the notorious act will cause a serious commotion on that day...

To all ye employers of labour in Lagos, if your male workers call in sick or couldnt make it to work...know that they are somewhere getting a free eye therapy...

As the scientists has declared that watching a woman's boobs can drive away cancer

Plagiarism is a very serious crime........just the heading alone ...you can pay alot for that....
Plagiarism includes using the owner's idea without acknowledging him...
This might be Nigeria Jaywon...i trust Mr Victor.
.. if he decides to take it up...you will suffer heavily for it

You dont need to lament on social media...
Report to the appropriate authorities...he would be deported asap

..us no be naija wey man no man go save am

Lest i forget Stella, biko...how you take know dt im prick na colorless...

Hmm....2x her age..when some guys are still hoping to ask her out....hope she wont lament when the man marries another gal after her sha

This is christmas period...most goons would want to show off during xmas...
Most of these armed robbers will hide under the umbrella of yahoo yahoo...
Please to all ye concerned, faithful and loyal citizens of the federal republic of Nigeria...try and not partake in the spending of money from people of questionable character...
Not all provisions are from God....
A word is enough for the wise

Hypocrites....most of those condemning them will be award winners if pornvideos decide to give awards to top and loyal customers

We now have association of whistleblowers in Nigeria....i hail oo

I hope oritsefemi and his bride are not banking on gifts from friends and family to upset the wedding costs.

As an adage in my land goes:
Bi owo eku semo lonse fi ori

That is: cut your coats according to your size


Debts and loans are not a good way to start one's marriage...
A word is enough for the wise.

Especially to those nairalanders who want a pepper dem wedding way beyond their financial capabilities

..can this be true?
Do you think those that swam the olympic sized muddy water will participate?
These people didnt even consider those that died in the struggle....just because of ego...money that will finish...money that cant be substituted for their soul..ask those on the sick bed
The joke of this matter is that the south easterns are somehow divided...
With this division, they dont have the bargaining power

Please dont forget the word 'to'....
It shows that it is a future tense that might not be implemented like other programs under this adninistration...
Examples
Federal government to produce pencils in....
NADDC to produce electric cars in Nigeria

So calm down and enjoy the word 'to' and its effect in modern day Nigeria

See mumu...he begged for retweets..he used his money for the movie date...he is probably known now as the guy who begged a lady to go out with him....

Meanwhile, the lady will be feeling fly....doing yanga to all other serious toasters....not knowing that in some years time...she might be the nagging jealous lonely lady without a man of her own...

In my own opinion, what does the gal has to offer...just big ass and medium breasts...that will depreciate with time....every man to his own

Lol

That might be the last time he will enter keke napep..when they need us, they will fry yam, eat ponmo, dance alanta...when we need them,they will be nowhere to be found

Politicians deceiving us since the time of adam
