Lol. I meant, what were you researching that led you to my site? Also, do you have a blog?

I needed training materials in order to conduct a course for certain people. No, I do not have a blog.

gentlegenius:
I think you are the one that is giving a misleading advice here.
Telling people to do masters degree to increase their chances of getting a job and getting promotion is a 19th century advice.
Guy, WAKE UP!
It seems you are the only one that hasn't noticed that the world has changed.
Check around your area, and you'll see that those who are making cool cash every day are not master degree holders. S[b]o why should someone waste his time and money in school acquiring useless degrees?[/b] The worst part is that we are in Naija, where things are working upside down. Go to Lagos and you'll see many people with 1 or 2 master degrees roaming the streets while those with no degree at all are getting good jobs. Employers now are scared of employing master degree holders because they themselves don't have masters. For those 75% that had masters in that company you claimed, I can assure you that about 60% of them didn't get that job with their masters degree. They entered with their first degree and did their masters while working there.
Nowadays, masters degree is only useful for those who already have a job and are seeking promotion, and also for those who want to become lecturers like the Op said. For those who want to hunt for good jobs, instead of pursuing masters, use that money and time to develop yourself, upgrade your skills and get a professional certification. This are the things good companies are looking for, not higher degrees.
I have an oil company in my area that I have not been able to get a job. Do you know why?
It's because each time they recruit, the highest qualification they need is National Diploma(ND), and I already have a first degree. There are people with Masters in my area, who happens to teach in secondary schools. Do you think this company doesn't know what they are doing by not employing those with HND, BSC and masters? Many other oil companies are doing the same, and they are the well paying companies that you think those with Masters should work with. What about the banks? How many of those with masters are getting jobs in banks? Enter any bank around you and ask the staffs about their qualifications. If you ask up to 15 bankers, 13 out of 15 will tell you they have no masters. This is the reality in this country. So, as much as I know, those who are pursuing masters degree with little or no job experience are seriously reducing their chances of getting good jobs.
I personally don't believe too much in jobs, because none of the richest people in the world is an employee. If I have money to do masters degree, I will simply put that money in a good investment. This is the surest way to make money in this 21st century.
Once again, I urge you to WAKE UP!

Oga, do not allow ignorance to be your downfall. Not everybody can be an entrepreneur. Some will still be employees, working for various companies. In fact, people believe the experience obtained while working for various firms, is usually quite useful when you decide to set up your own business outfit.

I doubt very strongly if you have ever conducted a survey in any bank to determine if their staff have a Masters' degree or not. You will be surprised to see that many of them do.

You even said: "Employers now are scared of employing master degree holders because they themselves don't have masters." Oga, stop lying. Unless the members on the interview panel or the employer, inform you that they do not have a Masters' degree, how would you know?

With the competition in the workplace, most people are scared of applying for a sabbatical, to leave their firms and go for a full-time Masters' degree, because they are not sure they will be re-absorbed into the company or that their jobs will still be there, when they get back. So it is better to get that Masters' degree, before joining paid employment.

And unless you have a very sympathetic and understanding boss, taking time off for lectures and exams while studying part-time, can be quite difficult.

As for my colleagues in the telecom company, sorry to disappoint you but two-thirds of them got their Masters degree, before joining the firm.

Finally, trying to judge everyone from your faulty perspective is highly flawed. I do not know the last time you spoke to any top HR person in a well structured corporate organisation, but if you think a BA or BSc is the only thing a graduate needs to get ahead in the business world, you are indeed, a joker.

Warship:
Pls, feel free to give me answers to my question but if you aren't comfortable, let me know so that I don't keep waiting for your response in vain

This thread was open in 2015. Are the the same person as the OP who asked the initial set of questions?

olyrayy:
Wow. Really?? What led you to my site?

Google search!

DisGuy:
weird that people travel from US, UK to South America, Eastern Europe to get the same treatment at cheaper rate and almost same quality. But the price in Nigeria is actually higher than it is in US

Economics in Nigeria almost always defies logic!

Bro', most things in Nigeria defy logic!

vadeoba:
At 28, most companies expect you to have nothing less than 2 years of experience and having M.sc. is not equivalent to that two years of experience.

You need to be strategic about going for masters degree if you are yet to get job experience and here are my advice:

1. If you are 23 years and below, going for masters if you don’t quickly get a job is cool
2. If you are 25 years and above, I will advise you to first get a job to get experience and do your masters degree later.
3. If your long-term goal is to end up in the academia as a lecturer, masters is cool.
4. If you don’t have that goal, writing professional exams may be better than going for masters immediately after graduation.
5. If your goal is to own a business later on, going for your masters may be the best decision.
6. Before going for masters, calculate the age you will be done with the program and look at the age requirement in your industry.
7. Life is about doing first thing first and you must know how to prioritize your life.

This is an advice from me, please feel free to disagree and share your views.

Wubbish! More than half of the advice given by this yeye blogger is totally misleading. How can you say "If your long-term goal is to end up in the academia as a lecturer, masters is cool...?" Does it mean that having a Masters' degree is only good for those in the academia? I used to work in a telco, and more than 75% of my colleagues had a Masters' degree! In fact in some cases, your higher qualifications put you in a good stead, when it is time for job redeployment, and promotion!

When you work in a bank, your MBA gets you a second look, than your BSc., when it is time to rise through the ranks! A masters' degree still gives you an added advantage over others, when it is time for recruitment.

Nope! I just like your site because I have learnt a few things about the law, from there.

Embark on a "journey" to Apapa and see yourself turn a new leaf - begging God to forgive you for sins committed, both known and unknown.

By the time u manage reach house, u go sidan for the edge of your bed bigin tink about your life.

Wicked people dey repent become pastor after Apapa traffic na. Lolz

You mean you still go by road to Apapa? I cannot remember the last time I went to Apapa by road. Na ferry be preferred mode of transport now. Marina to Apapa by boat - no traffic! Plenty breeze and serenity! And the best part? The entire journey only takes 15 minutes...!

But na when you come enter Apapa itself, na im you go come see say, madness don start!

And if your office is in Victoria Island? Or Banana Island, in Lagos?

olaboy1:
It will cost lagos state government around $350m/km to build a modern subway infrastructure. Lagos 2018 budget is around $2.7b (1.046 trillion Naira).

We need around $42b to build 120km subway across the state, and that’s 15.5 times Lagos 2018 budget. Nobody will loan Lagos that kind of money.

Only way to achieve this is bring in 42 investors of $1b each with a 10year tax break.

Now let’s do the maths on how long it will take to break even (ROI)

20,000 Naira monthly ticket all zones multiply by 5,000,000 steady subscribers = 100b Naira monthly

100x12 months = 1.2trillion Naira ( $3.3b per annum)

$42b/$3.3b = 12.72 years to recoup.

Not bad at all for long term investors. This is just my lay man’s modest calculation.

Lagos is around 20m residents, so I believe investors can break even within 10yrs.

Which one is subway? You are going too far, jare. Talk about waterways first. A large portion of Lagos state is made up of lagoons and creeks. Lagos Lagoon covers a total area of about 426.0 km2 with a coastline, and inland waterways. Why can't the state govt improve water transportation by investing in ferries, hovercrafts and various types of boats? The number of boats available for water transport are not enough, and the distances they cover are too few.

It has been estimated that over 6 million passengers commute daily from Lagos mainland to the Island. Road transportation using cars, buses and other vehicles, accounts for more than 90% of passenger and freight traffic. Can you imagine if we had an efficient water transportation system in place, to take about half of these people off the road? What a relief it would be! Don't forget, there is no traffic on the lagoon....and it would cost far less to implement an efficient water transportation system linking all parts of the state, than to build a new subway system!

Water transportation can assist in the reduction of road congestion, and thus increase the life span of the roads. From an analysis, water transport is found to have caused a reduced journey time by an average of 46.33%. Investment in water transport system could unlock a host of energy and cost savings as well act as a sustainable solution to our infrastructural needs. Travel time and travel distances on water are shorter than the road mode of travel; which accounted for the delay usually experienced on the road transport system in Lagos.

In view of this, it could be inferred that the water transport system is more environmental friendly and cost effective, than the existing road routes. On the west of the lagoon (south-west of the harbour) there are several creeks; these are the Lighthouse creek, Ologe lagoon, the Badagry creek, the main waterway leading to Badagry (Port Novo and Cotonou). Another creek joining the southern part of the main Lagos Lagoon to the Atlantic through Victoria Island is called Five Cowries creek. The North East of lagoon is bounded with Ikorodu local port that leads to Epe. Also at that region, there are several inlets from Ogun River, Majidun River and Agboyi creek. A sub-lagoon of the Lagos lagoon lies to the east of the harbour bound, and the bar beach between the Atlantic Ocean and the lagoon is called the Kuramo waters. http://www.academicjournals.org/article/article1381841976_Adejare%20et%20al.pdf

No online hustle is easy. I used to read articles like this and think it was. I have a health blog nearing 3years original content written by myself, hasnt earned a bucks. Packaging my own videos now with skills I have in media creating movie reviews on Naija Screen Vibes to get views and page likes is work. and I just published my first ebook on Amazon.

Why I'm I still here doing all these? mostly passion. Passion for writting abt health, passion for creating videos hence the thought of using that skill for movie reviews etc. And also the fact that inbtw the hustle, I have 9 to 5 jobs that keep me going.

Its not easy and you might get discouraged, it also will not make u money over night, not now that online world is highly saturated. But do those of us who don't really have the physicall Entrepreneur energy or know how and who do a lot of things online, online hustle can pay in the long run.

Do you know some pentecostals don't collect tithes? Do you know some of them own Universities in this country? We castigate Pastors/Churches for building schools their members can't afford and then some of us come out to say #ProudCatholic as if Caritas University, Madonna University and other catholic universities in Nigeria were built with "Anointing or Olive Oil".

These are a few donations from corrupt politicians like David Mark to the said Catholic church;

Caseless:
believe what you like.

Don't mind him. Let him be arguing blindly about things he does not know. The 2 ladies I spoke about earlier, had initially worked on a community development project which was implemented by an NGO, and funded by one of the UN agencies. By the time they applied directly to UN Women, their previous work experience in handling such community based projects, as well as the project evaluation & monitoring skills gained on the field, gave them an edge over other candidates, despite their 2-2 degrees.

When it comes to employment matters, more than one route leads to the market place (i.e. recruitment exercises can be conducted in different ways, while candidates may be drawn from multiple pools, or variety of sources.) Somebody once said: "The best jobs are rarely advertised."

BARAJ92:
Graduate trainees jobs is different from those type of jobs. I still stand on my point, getting 2-1 is the ultimate for those without connections and great oratory skills as it will open many opportunities not necessarily getting the job. Take a look at most juicy graduate trainee jobs on Nairaland and check the requirements

Oga, free your mind. I have had cause to interact directly with various HR managers across a wide variety of sectors. I have also consulted for different outsourcing firms, on a private basis. The jobs advertised on Nairaland, do not reflect what happens in every single sector of the economy, neither do such adverts capture all the job requirements in every single industry. Stop being dogmatic. Do you even realise that some graduates start off as contract staff in some industries, (with their 2-2 degrees or HND/BSc.) and after several months or a few years, they are are converted to permanent staff of such organisations?

plaetton:
Nonsense. I don't owe you any simple yes or no answer, considering you have made no attempts to answer my simple yes or no answers to simple questions posed earlier.
1. Did he and his family become very wealthy through his ministry? Yes or No ?

2.Did his children inherit his ministry (family business) ? Yes or No ?

3. And lastly, this particular point is probably the difference between yours and my viewpoints .
People who accumulate personal wealth through evangelism are scammers ?
Yes or No ?

Now, since you are harping on Billy Graham ministries audit, why don't you post it here to bolster whatever argument you are desperately trying to make.

_(sigh!) Another long epistle "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." Why do you like digressing so much? The question was simple, and quite clear. So let me repeat it again very slowly, maybe this time it will get through to your head - "Did you audit any of Billy Graham's financial records, for you to know if he ran a so-called "faith-for-profit" enterprise or a charity?" Why do you find it so difficult to provide an answer, but prefer to continue rambling unnecessarily like a hypochondriac?

plaetton:
Comprehension comprehension.
Some read but do not comprehend.

Charities are not family owned and operated.
Charities are not passed on to children as inheritance.

Therefore, there is no doubts that Billy Graham ministries is not a charity.
I don't need to look at their audits too prove my case that the ministry is not a Charity. It is in the UK that Church-Preneurs are compelled by law to operate by public Charity laws.

Anyone that grows wealthy by selling one form of religious belief or another is simply running a scam.
That is just common sense.

That you admire and love Billy Graham is acceptable. That is just evidence that he was a Master of his craft.
It doesn't make him any less a scammer par excellence.
Being a Charity and making charitable donations from his god-scam are two different things.

Didn't I tell you earlier NOT to respond with a lengthy disjointed epistle, that is so long on rhetoric and woefully short on facts? All this rigmarole you have embarked upon here, does not add anything to the subject at hand. It merely shows how deficient your logical reasoning skills, are. Now when are you going to answer my question? Let me repeat it: "Did you audit any of Billy Graham's financial records, for you to know if he ran a so-called "faith-for-profit" enterprise or a charity?"

Again, please note - a simple Yes or No, would do.

butterflyl1on:
That you spew all this from a place of deep hate for God or anyone remotely linked to him does not make you anything else but a lie monger and a spinner of deception.

All of you simply want armed robbers to flourish, yahoo boys to flourish but men of God should be impoverished along with their family as if investments do not exist and the only way people make money is via the things you allude.

Even if they were poor I am sure it would still be people like you who would ask why the God they claimed to serve would watch them suffer In penury when sinners are flourishing.

Your type are never satisfied. As long as it has something to do with God, your nitpicking would be on another level.

We have seen your opinion (because that is all it is) and we have duly discarded it.

https://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/001/157/371/342.gif

The guy you responded to, obviously has deep-rooted problems, that is making him repeat such bile. People like him, have had their minds blinded by deception.

BARAJ92:
check most graduate trainee jobs advert, what they require is 2-1. There are exceptions to this rule which you sited which is part of the 0.4. Graduating with 1st class or 2-1 does not give you job automatically but gives you a fighting job in almost all jobs than being screen out even before the screening is being done

Again I repeat: It depends on the industry, where the recruitment is being conducted. Not all corporate sectors or industries require 1st class or 2-1, for entry level jobs. Are you even aware that to work as a teller or a junior contract staff within a local bank, you don't need more than an HND? Check with the outsourcing companies that supply contract staff to the financial houses.

plaetton:
Disparage what work exactly ?

Let me repeat again in another way, in case you didn't comprehend my earlier points.

A Charity is a public enterprise.
No matter who is the founder of a Charity, all monies donated, accrued or earned belongs to the charity, not to an individual or his family members.

Billy Graham ministries was not public enterprise. It was a private enterprise run by Billy Graham and his family.
It Isa family run enterprise, whether you call it a ministry or whatever.

Billy Graham and his family earned lucrative incomes and accumulated incredible wealth running that religio-business enterprise.

When a person earns a lucrative income and accumulates wealth , we call that person a successful businessman, genius or tycoon.

Whenever a person does same under the pretext of a religion where he earns stupendous wealth from selling faith or paraphernalia related to the faith he is selling, then we call that a scam.
Pure and simple.

That he exhudes humility, calmness and is less flamboyant than say Oyedepo and many of his contemporaries in the god/Jesus-scam business doesn't make him any less of a scammer.

There is no need for you to respond with a lengthy disjointed epistle, that is so long on rhetoric and woefully short on facts. It shows you obviously feel comfortable peddling lies. It doesn't matter if you call it, a public enterprise or a private one. All enterprises registered by govt, are subject to an audit. Now for the second time, let me repeat my question: "Did you audit any of Billy Graham's financial records, for you to know that he ran a so-called "faith-for-profit" enterprise or a charity?"

A simple Yes or No, would do. No need for long story.

BARAJ92:
It can never be through general recruitment

They have been there for 5 years. So why are you so certain they did not get there through general recruitment??

plaetton:
I just can't stop laughing .


Yes, he did.

If you run an enterprise whereby you make money, much more money than you invest, by peddling something, a tangible product or an abstract ideas , be it faith, snake oil, holy hankerchief, holy water, books that promote your products or ideas, then , by simple logic, you are running a for-profit enterprise.
If you agree, you're a freemarket business person.

If you give away all or the far greater percentage of your profits for public benefit, then you are CHARITY.


If you keep all or a far majority of the profits for yourself and enlarge the financial fortunes of your family and children, then you are a bona fide tycoon. Again, that is encouraged in the freemaket system.

However, if you refuse to be called tycoon , and refuse to aknowledge that you are running a family business enterprise, pretending that you are doing some work for some invisible god that public are somehow incapable of doing, then you are obviously running a bona fide scam.

That you are runninga more organized and more sophisticated, scandal-free scam does not in any way exonerate you from being a scammer.

Simple.

Guy, you are beginning to sound just too ridiculous. Did you audit any of Billy Graham's financial records, for you to know that he ran a so-called "faith-for-profit" enterprise or a charity? No one is forcing you to believe in Billy Graham's teachings, but it does sound stuvpid that you are willing to disparage the man's work, when you have no proof of what he is worth, or what his financial dealings, were.

BARAJ92:
. I don't believe this your post, most U.N jobs require 2-1 and above and some years experience in most cases. You people should not condemned the O.P as he is saying the truth, Once you finished with less than 2-1, your chance of even writing graduate trainee test for most high paid is less than 0.4. This exclude those with connection and I.T skills

Stop generalising and exaggerating. How can you say "Once you finished with less than 2-1, your chance of even writing graduate trainee test for most high paid is less than 0.4?" It really depends on the industry, in which the vacancies exist, as well as the requirements they are seeking in each candidate. I once overheard a HR Manager telling her colleagues after an interview session, that it would be wiser to shortlist a candidate that had 2-2, as opposed to another applicant with a 1st class. Her excuse was that the 1st class guy performed so poorly during the interview, that she is not sure if he is the owner of the certificate!

P.S: I know 2 ladies in my church with a 2-2, who have been working for UN Women office in Abuja.

gidgiddy:
Well if you cannot understand how the 'freedoms' accorded to everyone in chapter 4 of the constitution covers simple things like agitation and massmobilisation then I cant help you there, Im not a dictionary. The wording in that chapter are clear enough for me.

You love arguing blindly. Even after showing you clearly that such freedoms are NOT absolute, you are still harping about how agitation and mass mobilisation fall under 'freedom of movement etc.' Basic understanding of the tenets of those principles in the African Charter, as well as the Nigerian Constitution have eluded you, that is why those words are enough for you.

Try associating with a group of disorderly people in a public place, or a crowd causing unrest or a riot in the open space. By the time policemen arrest you and haul your butt' into detention, you can tell them they have no right to do so, because of your so-called freedom of movement or association or expression. Hehehehe.....

gidgiddy:
If you think that no lawmaker will move a motion on referendum for IPOB based on IPOB agitation then you have put your self in a position to speak for the national assembly. It is for IPOB to try something and see if it will fail or not. Other pressure groups such NLC and NANS have held mass demonstrations in the past that compelled both the leadership of the National Assembly and government to make concessions, change position and even amend or introduce laws. IPOB ows it a duty to its self to try and fail rather declaring faliure before even trying. The agitation is the means of showing the lawmakers the sentiments of the people. Thousands of people on the streets waving the Biafra flag and demanding referendum is peoples power.

Ok, tell us the names of the lawmakers, who will move a motion on referendum for IPOB based on IPOB agitation. Maybe then, you and your crew would be taken seriously. NLC and NANS held demonstrations, but what were the issues that fuelled their demonstrations? Did they call for dismemberment of the country? Did they advocate for a new country? Did they make treasonable statements? Did they not write officially to the fed govt or state govt seeking redress of a particular issue, before embarking on their demonstrations?

Show us where mere agitation alone has led to the creation of a new republic. Maybe, we would believe you. If new republics are born merely by "Thousands of people on the streets waving the Biafra flag and demanding referendum," you should have gotten your Biafra by now. So why hasn't it happened?

gidgiddy:
Posting some written note that Kanu said he is getting weapons to fight Nigeria is nonsense. Any kid in primary school can write the same and pen Kanu's name to it. The video where Kanu solicited weapons, at no time did he say he is using it to wage war on Nigeria. Guns can be owned by Nigerian adults under license, so the actual solicitation of arms is not illegal.

IPOB are too smart to get involved in the shark infested waters of Nigeria politics, they are not a political movement. They are a self determination pressure group who seek referendum.

Kanu may have made some statements people may find inciting but thats what the law courts are there for. If anyone thinks he said something he shouldnt, take him to court.

Hmmnn....Kanu never denied saying those things, neither did he deny soliciting for arms to wage war against Nigeria, so what on earth are you going on about? And Kanu has never applied for a license to carry a gun or any kind of firearms, so stop making up stories here. Those written notes are actual statements made by Kanu which were recorded by the press, (both print and online media) and they were also aired on Radio Biafra. So why are you denying it? Did Kanu employ you to tell lies, on his behalf?

gidgiddy:
Freedom of movement and expression, freedom to hold an opinion, freedom of association, freedom of assembly, freedom of thought and conscience. These freedom grabted to everyone under the constitution more thsn cover boycott, agitation, massmobilisation etc

How exactly does the freedom of movement and freedom of expression, cover boycott, agitation etc? You have failed to prove this conclusively. The flawed interpretation you have given to those "freedoms" is totally misleading, and shows you are deluded. Moreover, those "freedoms," are not absolute. I already explained all that, in one of my previous posts.

gidgiddy:
It is not a must that Referendum must be in the constitution before one agitates for it. Infact, referendum need not even ever be in the constitution. A resolution passed passed on the floor of the national assembly can give an area a 'one time' referendum. It is not every decision that is made in the national assembly that finds its way into the constitution.

Britain is structured differently from Nigeria with power devolved to the Regions. Thats why all Scotland had to do was move and pass a motion for a referendum in the Scottish assembly for it to be adopted natiowide. Scotland doesnt even use the sane currency as the rest of Britain.

The way to get referendum the way Nigeria is structured is agitation. If the agitation is strong, the lawmakers will take notice.

Again, I ask: what constitutional means have you followed to engage your lawmakers at the state or federal house of assemblies to bring up a referendum bill for debate, or even insert a referendum clause in the constitution? Agitation will NOT make any lawmaker pass any bill in the green or red chamber. Only a formal application would do that. That is why some folks have suggested that IPOB should test its ideology at the polls, and get as many IPOB sympathisers elected as lawmakers, so they can push such bills within the assembly.

Stop using Scotland as your yardstick. There are too many wide differences between Scotland and IPOB. There is already a law on referendum in the UK. There is none in Nigeria. So each time, you try to equate what happened in Scotland with what is happening in your region, you end up sounding clueless.

gidgiddy:
Nnamdi Kanu may have solicited for weapons but he commited no crime. In the video were Nnamdi Kanu solicited weapons, not once did he say that he will use the weapons to fight Nigeria. What he said was that the guns were to protect his people.

Under the firearms act of Nigeria, any Nigerian adult can apply for license to own certain types of guns such as dane guns and double barrel guns and they can be used for gaming, hunting or personal protection. So Nnamdi Kanu soliciting for guns and ammunition breaks no laws. If you say he was asking for guns to fight Nigeria, you will have to prove it.

Nnamdi Kanu solicited for weapons to use against Nigeria. Go back and watch the unedited version of that video, again. Also he made various inciteful pronouncements, against the Nigerian state. Stop trying to exonerate his tomfoolery. There is ample evidence against him, both in the print and social media. He never applied for firearms license, so what kind of point are you trying to make? You are only going to end up confusing yourself. Read Point No. 9 attached to this post. And tell us what Kanu said.
