₦airaland Forum

Good morning,

please I need past questions for foundation level- BF, FA, MI and BL. I am preparing for May diet.

Can the admin also paste the foundation whatsapp group link here so I can join.

Thanks

I was in that court live. It was so heart breaking seeing the poor boy just break down like that. I even felt like crying for him. I pity am sha but I can't blame him. The country is so hard anyone would do anything for money. After judgement was passed, we whisked him away to a different location to remand him in our custody. I really wish he could be given a second chance at life. He doesn't deserve this treatment at all.

I cannot believe what I just read. He doesn't deserve this treatment at all you just said? The country is so hard anyone would do anything for money? My God!!! Who will give the girl he murdered because of his demonic lust for money a second chance at life? I really wish nairaland was not an anonymous forum, it would be nice to put a name and a face to such posts as yours!

This is why we are ever the unsophisticated Africans! So such a very tactical team whose members should have their identity classified under very stringent security protocols gets their faces splashed all over social media! We will never learn.

Any fool with slush of stolen cash and a willingness to deploy same for devlish aims can command loyalty among idiots, failures, thugs and fools. If ibori commands your loyalty, kindly choose which of the above segments you fall under. Your adoration of this commin thief who commenced his career as a petty thief is disgusting.

donogaga:
An early indication that Ibori’s influence had not waned in the politics of Delta state and Nigeria at large.

In fact, all the current Senators representing the three zones of the state are Ibori loyalists, having served as Commissioners under him.

From Senator James Manager, who currently represents Delta South in the Federal House of Assembly to Senator Ighoyota Amori (Delta Central), a die-hard Ibori loyalist and Peter Nwaoboshi, (Delta North), the trio remains Ibori’s men any day.

Senator Manager, now a fourth term lawmaker, was not just a powerful Commissioner of works under Ibori, he was also the pioneer chairman of the PDP in the state in Ibori’s administration.

Chief Amori, who, like the ex-governor, hails from Ethiope West LGA of the state and currently represents the Central zone, comprising mainly Urhobo people, boasts of holding forth for the jailed politician while he’s away doing time in London.

Nwaoboshi, PDP chairman under Uduaghan also held several positions under Ibori, including being Commissioner of various ministries.

Ibori’s influence (infamous as it might be) in Delta State goes beyond just the aforementioned. He also has many loyalists in other spheres of the state’s politics.

From Evelyn Oboro, member representing Uvwie, Sapele and Okpe Federal Constituency in the House of Representative to Daniel Mayuku, ex-Chairman House Committee on Appropriation to the new Speaker Monday Igbuya, Ibori’s name resonates when their political history is read.

Among Ibori’s relatively new political loyalists are Talib Tebite, Tim Owhefere, Michael Diden, Reuben Izeze, Orezi Esievo and Toju Abigor.

In addition, Okowa, who reportedly paid a ‘thank you’ visit to Ibori in his cell in London just after his election, was said to have handed a list of aides by the former governor at least 40 percent of names sent in by Ibori.

For instance, of the twelve Commissioners recently selected by Okowa, at least five had served under Ibori, while Ovie Agas, the Secretary to the State Government was one of his boys.

The words of Senator Amori, a serving lawmaker who represents Delta central is instructive to fully understand Ibori’s domineering influence over the politics of the state.
Hear him, “First, there is no doubt that Ibori’s absence created a vacuum because we lost his physical leadership. I will tell you categorically that even though he is not around, Ibori is around. We have lost nothing, we have lost his physical presence but his political presence, his leadership is still very much with us, so his absence is felt but probably we would have done better than we are doing now but from what we know we have lost nothing.

Bro, He's the Last Don.

Are you guys surprised? It's only a community of thieves that celebrate big thieves. Welcome back king of thieves.

You are very intelligent in every sense of the word. I told people this same thing however in a different way. Somewhere in the loop was a redirect to the people running the show. Its called critical thinking. Unfortunately we have an army of poorly educated graduates in Nigeria.

Phranex:
Ok.. lemme explain how it works.


Please dont argue. I am a web developer and i recently received a certification form HarvardX on the course - INtroduction to Computer science.

Here's what really was happening.

We were all told that we dont pay into any central account, Right?

while this true, it is a white lie in itself.

You know how you receive 10% from people you refer? and you are able to request help on that 10%?


This is exactly how the admin gets their share. You actually dont pay directly into their account.

For example, you refferred me.. i PH 10k.. u get 1k.. u can REQUEST FOR HELP on that 1k and you would be matched.

now remember that all guilders get a certain % off their downlines. they can also request for help on that percentage...


now heres the scam...


so long people still continue PHing, all top guilders get their % and makee request for help on those and they would be matched by people who are just joining the system.

In fact, top guilders no longer provide help to get help anymore.. you lot give them enuf percent to cash out..

i was in it.. Got enough cash and opt out.. I anticipated this glitches in december.. Heres a screen shot of my chat with my guy in November

Key:

1. my postulation about dec
2. his reaction
3. he thinks am confused
4. the time i said it

What a sad thread! Reasons why the youth is in trouble. Poor education = lack of initiative and skills = unemployment = poverty = testimony for federal 'poverty - entrenching' jobs = satisfaction with crumbs = helplessness = a cycle.

You may not see it but this is why you are ever at their mercy.

see opinion....nigerians!! Arm-chair experts and analysts.

kahal29:
In as much as I have my reservations about Kemi... Ngozi is not an option all. First she is not an economist.... Working in world Bank does not make you an economist. Ngozi read B.Sc economics, did M.sc and PhD in Urban and regional planning... . For goodness sake.. She is not an economist. When you talk of economist you talk of people like Soludo, Mike Obadan, Olofin, Chukwudi Anyanwu (current Research Director at ADB), Ajakiye, Michael Kwanashie, Ben Aigbokan, Joe Umoh, Badayi Sani, Akpan Ekpo, Akin Iwayemi and Iyioha. On Udoma Udoma I share Melayes views... . With all due respect he is a successful lawyer and not a development economist needed to head that ministry. If am to suggest he should be replaced with Prof Akpan Ekpo who is from the same state with him or Soludo. On the CBN governor.. .. that one is a disaster who issues press statement every week. He should be replaced with a South South thorough bred professor of economics maybe Akpan Ekpo or another suitable person. These people can complement the efforts Kemi the finance minister.

Fools! their mates are busy creating apps and building startup companies.

Guy she did not dump you. You simply failed to set your priorities well.Stop blaming that girl.

She did not make you fail, you failed becausr you did not take control of your life just like you are here blaming her.

Goget your act together. You aint the only guy with a campus girl...somehad several girls and made first class ok?

you know why I like Nigerians...we are spineless. This thread will die after a couple of days and you will all start paying the tariff and hoping on government to save you.

As someone said earlier our leadership reflects us. We are morally deficient and our leadership just reflects this. You receive a bill of 20,000 naira a month and perhaps you live with other tenants who receive similar bills and you cannot come together and file a case of obtaining under false pretence. You deserve that bill. I don't like helpless people. They sent such evil bill to me, I simply did an energy audit of my apartment and forwarded it to EEDC with a strong worded letter from my lawyer and the next month my bill came down. I told my neighbours and they said its only God that will help them. They are more educated than me.

You all deserve to live in pain. Imagine if estates and buildings all start filing cases against this criminality. They will be forced to provide meters.

To Brevista and co defending the increase...you have little idea of the rot that accompained the privatization scheme. Take this from an insider. If you did, you will keep quiet and watch this fight from outside like some of us.

OAFMods:
Like the Americans right or why not even ask African parent not to even bring up their children in the ways of their religion since you are preaching rebellion ? Would that be what you would teach to your own kids having failed to impact the doctrine of your faith in them ? How do you strike a balance with that and a rebellious child ?

Thanks for your civil question.

I already have a child. An infant son. I will not teach him religion. I will teach him values. I am a christian and I understand christian values to be things like love, honesty, others before self, integrity, cleanliness, fear of God and others. I will teach him to read the bible everyday. i will guide him to these but I WILL NOT SHIELD him from making mistakes. I will place good before him and tell him there is evil too. i will tell him the dangers and consequences of evil. I will not sequester him nor seek to pigeon hole him.

I will not teach him the doctrine of my church ( I am an evangelical anglican) but I will teach him the words of Jesus and leave the choice to him.

Now should he decide to do otherwise, i am already writing a little book I will give him once he turns 12 so whenever he comes to his senses he will read the book. i made my mistakes, I am a much better man because of my mistakes. I would have been far behind where I am now if I did not make those mistakes. I am not a saint, I never wanted to be a saint either.

And to add, a little investment in child psychology books will help us especially young parents know that what we see as rebellion maybe the traits of someone who can stand up against unjust laws in the society, someone who can be guided to be a strong leader to his peers. The problem is that religious people read ONLY the bible hence their errors.

This is how I will strike the balance because from my own experience it is futility to impose your doctrine. Thanks.

@OP,

I can confidently call myself a young adult and I grew under the same parents that you just described except that their own issue was another version of extremism known as scripture union. Those condemning the OP know nothing about how painful it can be when you are such a good boy especially as a teen and yet you are being condemned just because you do not fit into their spiritual ideology.

In my case, I was not depressed. I became angry and rebelled. I did not become bad, criminal or any such thing, I simply sought out other answers and I found them. I pursued personal development, business and common sense religion. And this is what i will advise the OP to do, rebel NOW! Reject that deeper life ideology and all its form, it will limit your potential or at worse destroy it. And the sad thing about that ideology is that you will be blinded by the spirituality to understand that you have been limited.

Do whatever you want to do, make friends and hang out with girls, do things that will teach you the other sides of life as long as you do not become criminal or evil or get into gang and the such. for those supporting the parents, you have no idea that this is why many young people do not know how to handle basic life challenges because they have been bottled in a pigeon hole. Yes, we love our parents but African parents should learn to strike that balance and acknowledge the independence and individuality of their children.

@Op, you should simply make up your mind to go AGAINST everything they say and do your own thing your way. If you do not do this now, your psyche may be seriously affected.

Love them by breaking out because if you do not you may not be able to take care of them. I have observed that all of us that broke away from that ideology are doing well and all those who could not are still tied down in that retrogressive mindset.

love them but rebel against their ideas. You are different from your parents.

Its unfortunate how helpless people sound. Have you heard of class action? Join hands with similar aggrieved neighbours, hire a good lawyer and sue the distribution company. Nigerians have a sickening helpless mentality. You are waiting for the 'authorities to please look into this'

Why I do not intend to interrupt. This is what differentiates countries from great countries. Consulate staff taking the extra step to register in a site just to attend to inform clients. This is really admirable.

This is very touching. The four of you should team up and Sue EFCC and claim millions in damages to business and reputation. If you are right you will be cleared.

mascott:
I have long wanted to create a thread on this subject but thank God its here today.
There is a lot of ignorance on what actually goes on at the international airports and how it affects businesses especially importers.

The law states you have to declare any money above $10000, but strangely any cash declared above $10000 dollars is seized at the point of exit.

This is a direct consequence of the overzealous actions of the newly constituted presidential task force on currency trafficking at the airports.

Now am not talking because I heard from someone but because I've been a victim myself.

I normally source goods from Dubai for resale in Nigeria and have been doing it for over 5 years. For those who are familiar with Dubai travellers, you will note that most of us travel with cash as its cheaper and more convenient that transfers.

The normal routine is when i get to the airport, i declare the amount cos its always more than $10000 after which you are allowed to board.

What people don't realise is that the new CBN policy forbids payment of dollars into domiciliary accounts and also placed embargo on international transfers due to concerns about money launderers.

Now I was supposed to make my latest trip sometime last week but was unaware of this new task force guys.

Upon arrival, I declared the cash on me to the custom guys($54,000). I was then taken to a room upstairs where I was told I couldnt travel cos I have more than the allowed $10000. I asked why and they said it was an administrative change within. To my greatest consternation I was also informed my cash have been seized and that I wouldnt be allowed to make the trip cos I was under arrest and would be taken to the EFCC immediately.

I asked why that was the case since I declared on arrival and I was told the new mandate given to them from Abuja was to impound any cash above $10000 whether declared or not.

In fact we were four in total held for the same offence that day and everyone of us declared our cash on arrival but the cash was impounded and after some little delay we were all bundled to the EFCC office on Awolowo road Ikoyi.

As am speaking to you now my cash hasn't been returned as I was released on bail pending the outcome of their investigation. My business have been effectively suspended for the time being as I await their investigation which from information I gathered takes months to complete. Is this fair?

For those who wld want to accuse me of being a wailer pls go through my previous posts on nairaland to see I campaigned and voted for change but certainly not the type I witnessed or the one happening to me.

I believe businessmen need to speak out on what's happening to us at the airports else we risk losing our source of livelihood due to some draconian govt policies.

N/B
I have intentionally withheld some details in order not to compromise my case at the EFCC.

There is also a significant amount of information that one conveys without speaking. Very strong point! Respect to the training you guys have.

LagosNIV:
We're sorry that you had a bad experience, but the reality is that visa applicants often recall events much differently than they occurred (we know this because we read Nairaland transcripts). There is also a significant amount of information that one conveys without even speaking that is not included in your transcript. If you feel that you are truly qualified, then you can re-apply at any time.

That being said,it's unclear why you were travelling to the US, or even under which visa class you were applying under. Each class has a different requirement so make sure you review them carefully before your interview to ensure that you have all of the required paperwork.

Sorry @OP, why should you feel bad? I may be wrong but I believe if you are self-confident no alleged racism can make you feel bad. You showed them you weren't a push over by threatening to sue them. That is it, you were victorious. I went for one training in Germany and I was the only black in that section of town. For one good month i didnt see one black face. I was walking like the king. I was pitying their miserable lack of exposure. One day one german approached me and asked whether this is how everybody looked in africa. I asked him whether everybody in German was this mentally handicapped. I used the word 'mentally handicapped'. He was shocked! I dont know what he told them but the next day a german lady bought a drink for me in the same bar I met the german man. In that training I was the best when the result came out. I shifted my flight for one week to get to know the lady better. Now we are good friends. I am my own master. I was there in my own right and merit. Nobody had the ability or capacity to make me feel bad. Be confident and you will not feel bad about racism.

I couldnt help but laugh. This is really hillarious.

The guy has legitimate fears knowing how some Nigerians can reason. He rightly fears Nigerians will be banned from working there and he will lose his income. Economic fear it is. Well, @victor101 see the humour in his email.

The guy just needs to learn how to pass his message without being so vulgar.

Having said that, I unfortunately feel that with the seeming desperation that some have already exhibited his logic is valid.

Well, for us that hire people from upwork and would love Nigerians to benefit too, ONE ADVICE - TAKE IT EASY! You won't make money that fast.

Guys, why will this guy send such email? I leave NairaLanders to judge. Thanks

I am very impressed with this thread. As a matter of fact I have been wondering why Nigerian youths are not very active on upwork especially.

I outsource all non-core skills in my business to upwork and I am always happy. This year alone I have spent $2400 dollars on upwork.

All my workers have been indians as they have great ICT skills.

God bless victor101for opening this thread but first I will point out something....do not have money alone as a motivation. Yes money should motivate you but do not make it all about money. Believe me you will not be hired.

My first worker did my branding for $150 and since then I have retained him as my permanent brand consultant. I have paid him over $1000 since last year December.

As someone has said here GET VERY VERY GOOD in some skill. Do not carry this Nigerian shortcut, quick route mentality to upwork. You will not succeed.

I like the fact that I will review you and pass the results to the site owners without you seeing what I reviewed. There is also the reviews you can see.

Its sort of an online HR department for my company. I assess workers report and decide who to hire. So first thing first, GET A SKILL AND BE TERRIFIC IN THAT SKILL.

Anybody complaining of the government as a youth in this current global economy is a joke.

I have spoken with several 3D designers on nairaland about a marketplace where you can earn a living with your skills. The idea has been well recieved.

Hello latitidejavu,

Sounds like you're convinced you won't get a visa! If that's the case, perhaps you should reconsider whether applying is a prudent decision at this time. If you don't think you're qualified, how are you going to convince a consular officer that you are?

Regards,
Abuja NIV Team

I am really impressed with what is happening here. You even had the sense of humour to understand my question. It is unfortunate Seun hid the post even though it had nothing negative or offensive in it.

Well, I will be applying very soon.

My problem will not be convincing you to give me the visa, I will even convince you to become my customer.

Why is everybody so serious? Have a little fun.

Cheers.

Yes@ tajudeen. i will write you this night.

This thread is full of Talents.

We are currently looking out for talents to join the first 3D print Marketplace in Africa.

We are building a marketplace where you can earn from your designs.

Experts in blender, rhinoceros, TinkerCAD and other design software are invited to join this initiative.

3D printing will enable more people appreciate your designs. You will be able to communicate with a broader spectrum of clients. We will use this thread to open up the world of 3D printing to you.

We will want designers to send in their work for us to 3D print and people can buy it. Designers can earn a living with this.

Good morning to everyone. I represent Afera3d, a 3d printing service company in Nigeria. We provide access to 3D printers to people to create awesome designs without them having to won a 3D printer themselves.

In a few weeks, we will have an official nairaland account but I will use this account to communicate for now.

We are seeking to build a community of 3D designers who will create 3D printable designs and showcase in our online marketplace for people to see their creative genuis and buy these 3D printed products.

You will be able to show the world your skills and earn a living doing that. Such communities already exist in the US and Europe. This is what we will replicate here. We are seeking talents in software like blender, Rhinoceros, Solidworks, AutoCAD etc. We are seeking people who can blow away people with their crazy and unique designs.

This will be an open source community which will be driven by the YOU. We will use this thread as our forum and have all the discussions here. My team will be welcoming your suggestions and ideas. We are an ambitious startup and we want ambitious people.

I invite you to come on board and create the future. Lets discuss.

Afera3d.com

Oh sure. We want to build a community of 3D designers and we will seek out 3D designers like you.

@wikidraw...let us discuss. I am kelechi from afera3d.com. I run a 3D printing service provider, the first in Nigeria and we are looking at building a community of eD designers who will show their creative genuis to the world. Send a mail to me support@afera3d.com. please do not pm through naira as I do not check the nairaland email regularly.

Hello Cgniyi, I sent u a pm. I want to have a chat with you.

cgniyi:
! Probably the best 3d character work I've seen from here

Any chance you could create a making-of ?
