fatdon2: The attitude of Nigerians as it relates
to constructive contribution to
national matters should be decried.
When a matter is raised on a platform
as this, please comment in alignment
with the subject matter. It should be emphasized that the
Government is not the problem of
Nigeria! Nigerians are the problem of
Nigeria. Government personnel comes
from the people not the moon, and at
the grass root/family level, we still have the character deficiencies we cry
about in our government personnel.
Change is a function of a mentally free
people. Don't kick at the government,
kick at mental slavery. Decide to be an agent for change!
Lead your homes right, and transfer
same to the community, then your
state and the country at large.
Change does not begin with the
government, it begins with the people!

I agree with you yet disagree with you, if you want to destroy any economy, target the government and inject corruption into them. If the head looses sanity, what happens to the legs and hand?. The issues with Nigeria has gone so deep it affects every home, but not all, the change must come from the top. If you have a functional leader, you would have a functional Nigerian Citizen. Who are the people mostly involved with rituals? Mostly the rich and politicians, who do they use? And who suffers it most, the masses. They've caught several kidnappers/rituals, but I have not seen them charge the sender to court. Americans have confidence to say God bless America because, they know America wouldn't mind trading, going to war or bending laws to save an american. Chibok girls come to mind, still missing after 131 days and you say the change is with the people. I will give you an example, fashola was able to manage people staying under bridge because he his a disciplined leader/head, why ddidn't he wait for people to get their acts right.
Sorry I deviated off topic, back to the message, its good to have our president encourage the falconets to bring the cup home, but we have more pressing issues that require urgent attention, strategy to tackle, doctors on strike chibok girls, ebola etc. To whom much is given, much is expected, jonathan would have been a great president if everything was working, but unfortunately he needs to continue lecturing, he seems over welmed by the challenges facing this nation. God bless Nigeria with a good leader, and with Nigeria @heart.

Lol @ seized at the airport. I am mostly amazed why most African countries imbibe the British culture into their systems. The single night I spent in Nairobi made me feel as though I was in UK. Same thing applied when I went to Namibia.
Nigerian government has a lot to export, teach and force their throat in other African countries the way south Africa is already doing by exporting Shoprite to us.
I am sure if they try Nigerian banga, ogbono, egusi, abula, with better goat meat/beef and not all that pork steak or lamb blabla, they would sha like one. Its annoying seeing them eat baked beans when they can personalise the taste of their beans.
I remember a tanzanian girl visiting me once in UK, and I offered her the beef I fried the nigerian way with spice, she almost chopped off her fingers, that tells you our fooda are exportable creating jobs and opportunities for farming. If the Asians can export their varieties of rice and spaghetti to the western world, I see nothing stopping Nigeria (Giant of Africa on paper) exporting ours too.

How are you all doing, trust everyone is having a great holiday. @pavore: Can you please confirm if palm oil is in high demand in Kenya, or if you have any ideas where I can supply in large quantities.

Thanks a lot for the heads up guys. The challenges about using planes as logistics is that their are no direct flights from Nigeria to Namibia. The last time I went there, I had to sleep over at nairobi before transiting harare to Namibia. The alternative is to go through South Africa, doing that would be costing too much.
@pavore growing strawberries in Nigeria would be a very good one, I think most people in nigeria who have not had the privilege of going out have never seen a strawberry before except in juice.

donwise1: Wat is de data cap

Wrote it on the topic bro, 4Gb.

Yes it is still working, just activated mine last week and got the message today. But I think not everyone is eligible for it, but there is no crime in trying.

If you are not eligible, sorry , just try this code *440*16# for 1.5Gb monthly plan.

I appreciate the responses from pavore9 and jethro2, but I have taken time to observe the fruits obtained from neighbouring countries of Namibia and they don't really produce the various fruits that could be obtained from Nigeria.

Though some of them could be gotten from South Africa, but the high exchange rate from South Africa gives Nigeria export over there's.

It takes about four days to travel from Nigeria to Namibia. Therefore transporting the fruits and vegetables with a fridge truck makes it look doable.

Thanks for the enlightenment as for types of fertilisers used and inspection from where it is coming from.

While in the UK, most oranges I took where mostly not as juicy as the ones gotten from Nigeria. The pineapples where mostly sour unlike what is obtained from Nigeria/Cotonou.

I would love to hear from you guys based on the above points stated.

Pavore9: lt is not realistic. lf you insist on exporting to the countries u mentioned then research their neighbouring countries to see if you can source the fruits & vegetables there.

Please i need to understand why you said it is not realistic, most of the vegetables been eaten in america is from kenya. Please could you answer the question if assuming i was exporting to cameroon for instance.

Hello house, I would like to find out some things from our knowledgeable in house members.
If I want to export fruits and vegetables to African countries such as Zimbabwe and Namibia, here are a list of concerning questions.
1) How can I procure the fruits such as orange, pineapple, water melon, etc and vegs such as carrot, cucumber, cabbage, green peas etc without having to travel to so many states. I know the best bet is to meet with the farmers directly, that takes me to my other question.

2) What states can this fruits and vegs be procured from in Nigeria? If I have to go to each of those states, my concerns are, safety, increase in cost of logistics, and the high stress involved.

3) Is there a place I could get a fridge trailer for hire which can travel from Nigeria to those countries? If yes, what are the documents required for it to be able to cross Nigerian borders.

4) Any other advice is highly welcomed.

Hello house,
Has anybody qualified for the may 2014 fswp?

I have sent my documents to wes, but when I tried paying with my gtb acct, it was declined, so I had to send the money to a friend in Canada to pay for me
. I excluded the international postage and changed my personal address to that of my friend .
My question is; would it be posted to billing address or personal address? because he has left his billing address.
Once they send the verification to him, is it ok if I fill all the forms and send to him to help post it in canada? Or it is best he ssens the wes result to me, then I post it to ghana.

I have heard conflicting answers as to how long the process takes, can someone please state the duration.

bigfrancis21: I deeply understand your situation, my dear. The employment situation in the country is mostly about connexions and who you know(ima mmadu), save for a few sincere and genuine companies that still give free-and-fair recruitment processes.

I experienced this when I was applying for my IT(industrial training) in my 4th year in the university. I applied to Internship offers in ExxonMobil(I won their scholarship in my first year in the university, renewable till I graduated, and hoped it could give me an upper hand in landing a 6-month internship offer with them) and APM Terminals(an international shipping company located at Apapa Lagos state). Both companies invited me for an aptitude test at PH and VI, Lagos respectively. I went for them, the both tests holding between at a time interval of 1 week. I never heard from Mobil till today. They didn't call any of us who wrote their IT test. Instead, they filled up those spaces with their own relatives who were IT-seeking students.

However, APM Terminals contacted me few weeks later informing me of my success at the aptitude test and inviting me for an oral interview at their magnificent office complex at Apapa which I went for and passed. The package didn't just end there with the IT placement offer - it also came with a scholarship award sum which they paid me at the start of my final year.

I was very impressed with them. My experience with APM Terminals, Apapa proved to me that there are still some, albeit a few, sincere companies in Nigeria who recruit employees on a level playing field. Shell oil company is another one too.

I'll advise that you keep persevering. And you should try both options that I listed. This is Nigeria and its how the system works here most of the time.

Take care.

Many thanks big francis, i would check it up now.

That black poo thing is really true, happened to me when I just got to UK, didnt know ontime I was loosing blood. I was given 4 pints of blood after fainting twice and some drugs which healed the very little cut on d linen in my stomach. Please take the information serious as I learnt such cut from ulcer happens to a lot of africans just after they got into UK.

kart042000: Hi kindly send the link to kart042000@gmail.com, God bless you.

Thanks OP, received it

Hi kindly send the link to kart042000@gmail.com, God bless you.

Where has our admirable and knowledgeable tanimola(T22),deboski,jarus gone to , still waiting for a response from you guys. I like that name tanimola sha, God bless our hustles and may we make it bigger IJN.

Hi T22, jarus, deboski and everyone on this forum, been following this thread and it is fully packed with mind blowing informations, and amounts in terms of salary that could make me sit up and start dreaming big. I recently finished my M.Sc from mobile and satellite communication from UK, with a distinction, and I am CCIE R&S written certified. I have also done several trainings in the UK such as the seatel communication, mtn satellite communication and orbits communication for stabilized antennas used on ships and oil rigs. I am still trying to get my foot in the country, still applying and I am beginning to wonder if I did the wrong course lol. Any information of any company my skill is highly essential would be appreciated because I have applied to many places, no feedback or acknowledgement they even received my CV. And for the careers in africa, applied since last year, till I left UK they never invited me or any of my friends for any of there forum.

I humbly await your responses. Thanks

Well, since the thread is still alive, i will drop mine , for few days though

Blackteeth: Abeg lets be sincere for once. Oyibo beggers and naija beggars no dey the same class. Oyibo beggers get swag, they are clean and dont even appear like beggars, therefore it would be easier associating with them. But naija beggars always look unkempt, dirty and repelling. Simple.

You see talented people using there Gods gift on the street, it is normal to see them all over in UK and in the states, they are the same set of people you see go for competitions at some point. They are very different from the almajiri et'al kind of beggars. Oyibo sef get proper beggar o, na them you go see dey beg, yet them dog dey well fed pass average nigerian

patwhizkid: Okay o

Bear hugs all for you

hugs with spikes all over chest

In my opinion, in 2011 i supported buhari https://www.nairaland.com/628555/jonathan-buhari-don-t-malign#7961143, it was a shame people still went on to vote jonathan based on tribal, ethnic and religious divide. Come 2015, i am not saying buhari has changed from whom he has always been, but he would be highly respected if he could bring forward someone he trusts so much with proven records like his and much younger, it would be the best. He needs to retire and play the game from the background by way of advice.

Jonathan would have carved his name on diamonds if he had not contested in the 2011 election, and if he had ensured there was a completely free and fair election. He would have made a name next to mandela in africa, no one would bother to talk about his loot as a gov. But out of selfish interest, he has gone ahead to almost wipe out the middle class leaving the lower and very lower class struggling for survival.

pinkrex: How do you want 'humans' or even 'computers' to comprehend what you've posted? Not even a single punctuation. Choi! And you are backing Buhari, is he not your intellectual associate? #jus saying

What is this one saying .

@kairoseki, all you kept doing was talking in future tenses , the OP said mimiko is not paying salaries of civil servants, people are hungry, angry and starving, you are here talking about future projects. How does a private investment stop the government from paying salaries of over several months. kairoski, no allow make hunger and poverty hold you ransom , else you would understand what it means to work for 31 days and not be paid, or heavily taxed.



PLEASE CAN SOMEONE CONFIRM THE LAST TIME MIMIKO'S SALARY WAS PAID

Forget, funny enough, girls like that get the best husbands with a good career, loveable and honest. They already have the experience to tame a guy yet give him all the pleasure he craves, Unlike the good girls who end up in the hands of rough bad boys. Such is life, what you want, you dont get, what you dont want you get in abundance

I am not surprised, taking in account PDP's mathematical calculation such as amaechi vs jang and the rivers state legislature where 4 was greater than 17 votes. May God help us towards 2015 in mind

@poster, there is nothing wrong in what you did, be careful though because you are going to get more than you bargained, and as someone stated earlier, there are many wolves in sheep's clothing, for example if i am to make a guess 190 ..

chucky234: The ones sold here are authentic as they are marketed by either Samsung Nigeria Limited or Slot Systems Ltd and they go for between 105k and 120k which I think is a fortune enough for a plastic gadget.

Those prices are inaccurate, check the link below from affordables and slot.

http://slotlimited.com/products/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S4.html

Anyway, i have got a brand new S4 for sale , It is still in UK, but once i get a serious buyer, would send it down asap.

I was just surfing you-tube and i came across this useful link about samsung galaxy S4. I have actually been very curious to wonder why the Samsung galaxy S4 is so cheap in Nigeria when it costs a fortune in US and UK. I am not disputing the authenticity of the ones sold in Nigeria, but just a piece for you guys to be wary of, so you dont fall prey and have a phone exploding on your lap like the asian girl. Here is the link below

This movie should be played at the senate for paedophiles to have a little re-think, afterwards a new rule on any one that marries an under aged girl should be locked up. The movie looks promising..
