with the plan you provided, and considering the cost of standard materials (when I say standard materials I mean for example: Regular glazier tiles, Aluminum roofing, POP fittings, screeding, etc) for a 4 bedroom house, I estimate you get on hand about 18 -- 22million naira.

Habakus:
frankly speaking Op, there are schools with worse payment systems.
ABSU for instance demands about 50k just for acceptance fee into PG programs.
You can imagine the total amount you'd be required to pay before you get your certificate.
The fact is that the educational system in Nigeria is very deplorable with lack if funding and corruption topping the list.
It's a reflection of the general ills in thr country.
For now, if you can, run your PG program in s university in the country and if you can not, get the hell out of the system and school somewhere else outside the country. when you come back and still meet the status quo, you do your best to effect change.
I felt like telling you sharaaap... but I had to control myself, Please don't be offended with my thoughts. UNIBEN's acceptance fees use to be 45k but now 65k. PG form use to be 12.5k but now 25k. School fees 100k and they'll stall you till you stay 3 years. 100k x 3 = 300k. The programme can be so protracted that you'll hate yourself. Since NUC has mandated that M.Sc programmes last maximum of 3 years, UNIBEN has made the 3 years the norm forgetting that M.Sc ought to be 1.5 - 2 years and the 3 years max should be an exception.
The above submissions are facts.

kennyblack94:
From village to village, from city to city, we are spreading the message to Africans to make more babies.
We are warning them to fear Ngos and our own governments financed by Europeans to erase Africans from Earth.
We are informing them about how Afghans and Pakistanis fought those NGOS.
TALK to your family and friends about black people extermination plans carried by Europeans and their institutions.
If you are Europeans and have friends and families who go to Africa to take part in those racial war, discourage them.
The truth is Africa doesn't need Europe. There are more Europeans living in Africa and off Africa, than Africans living in Europe.
The immigrants crisis in the Mediterranean Sea is a Public relations crisis organized to justify in the eyes of European populations the eugenics, racial policies to be soon carried on.
I know, the message is spreading in our families already but we need to be more active, proactive.
Use any opportunity to inform your friends and families.
Beyond all encourage them to make more babies.
If they have planned only two, empower them to make 4 or 5.
If they have planned four, empower them to make 7.
Population growth is the solution, not the problem. Just ignore your own government propaganda. Be wary of Western financed NGOS.
Yes encourage them to be making more babies at the detriment to their health. For each baby born after the fourth by a woman the risk of maternal death increases about 10%.

Nigeria already has one of the worst maternal mortality ratio in the world at 814/10000 women. Believe me, even that figure is an underestimate as much of these deaths are not reported.

Yes, continue to encourage them to produce children they cannot adequately carter for as they grow to become social deviants..

Your position is simply RIDICULOUS
FamilyRe: The Problems Of Family Planning In Nigeria by linked: 8:00pm On Jul 13, 2017
Improving the practice of family planning curbing rapid population growth in Nigeria requires a comprehensive approach that factor these undying problems:
1. Teenage marriage- 20 % of Nigerian women get marriage by age 15 and subsequently become sexually active. Imagine how many babies they would produce all through their reproductive years. A policy prohibiting early teenage marriage may be the way to go.

2. Lack of Education: Educated people make less babies. Why? because they know the benefits. Basic education that include sexuality education should be compulsory for all.

3. Poverty: Ironically, family planning is believed to help reduce poverty but on the flip side, how would you expect an indigent couple who are unemployed to always spend their pass time??

Although seemily different, these factors are intertwined intertwined.

Everyone agreed? The last time I checked there was no census to determine btw who agreed and who disagreed. Just 2 or 4 agreed out of 1m Nairaland users.

As you can see, there is no agreement.

Yahaya is better but the statistics said otherwise. So, who is fooling who?

Or are we saying we know better than FIFA or CAF?

I am no ignoramus and I refuse to pretend to be ignorant.

Celestine Babayaro is better but he never smell one CAF award. Abassi bong!

[b][size=14pt]SIASIA: 'WE MIGHT AS WELL TAKE FLYING EAGLES TO OLYMPICS'[/size]

https://africanfootball.com/resources/images/placeholder.jpg

A hugely disappointed Nigeria U23 coach Samson Siasia has suggested the country may be better represented at the Rio Olympics by the U20s, the Flying Eagles.

The Flying Eagles beat the Olympic team 4-3 in a friendly at the weekend to make it a second win over their senior counterparts.

In the first friendly, the U20s won 2-1.

READ: Olympic team fly out in batches

“We might as well take the Flying Eagles to the Olympics,” lamented a dejected Siasia, who had personally pushed for a rematch so that he could avenge the first loss to the Flying Eagles.

“We have been training and teaching them what to do, but we could not do the simple things tactically.”

He openly admitted his defence is in shambles following the long-term injury of Segun Oduduwa.

“We need help in defence, we have a lot of problems there. Hopefully (Wilfred) Ndidi will be released by his club and he will join us (in USA training camp).”

He said he will push for another test game today before the squad start departing the country on Tuesday and Wednesday.

That was how Fernando Ardi , Chisom Chikatara and Aaron Samuel all limped off d training pitch during preps against Egypt. This limited our attacking options in both encounters.

Recall also that Stanley Amuzie earlier in d campaign got injured from this same Siasia's rigorous training.

The NFF technical committee should better put him on checks now before injuries become the screening factor from the 35man list.
It is a sour reminder of the U20 team headed by Siasia at the 2009 WYC.... Siasia so drilled out every ounce of energy in those lads that at the tournament they were already fatigue-dead... All the nigerian players fell with every tackle even the mildest of it... It was really crazy..


The injury list too was unprecedented

CONFIRMED: Siasia hates Isaac Success
It has long be confirmed.... Long got info that siasia said he will not take Success with him.... He got 'no space' for him...

I was only hoping siasia would make a u-turn on his decision... Meanwhile I can see a number of dead woods in Siasia team list...

Success had a great season for Granada... with some MOTM performances... He won the granada player of the year award.. .. Meaning he was the best player for Granada last season...

So I am utterly bewildered with siasia' s decision to leave out Success for less talented players like awoniyi et al...

Siasia make it seem like Success is not even worthy of the bench...

How would he? as a close source metioned that Saviour Godwin and Junior Ajayi are destined for Rio regardless of form... Dont know what deal Siasia signed with them..

We wished Siasia Success but he rejected it.... Hope he is Successful at Rio cos only Gold can vindicate this nepotic madness..

Please, give Akpom benefits of doubt. Who knows if he could turn out to be better than those players you just mentioned.

We can't judge him now until we see him play after 2 - 3 years. Peradventure, we can access his capabilities as a player but before then let us cap him first before it is too late.
You got good soft tissues upstairs
SportsRe: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by linked: 12:55pm On Jun 23, 2016
TheSuperNerd:
To be frank Ehn.... I don't think Nigeria needs Akpom.

Check out Nigeria's Options in the centre forward position:

(present and near future)

-Odion Ighalo

-Brown Ideye

-Isaac Success (yet to be capped)

-Victor Osimhen (we saw him at U-23 level)

-Sadiq Umar (yet to be capped)

-Aminu Umar (some don't even know he is a CF)

-Kelechi Iheanacho (anytime any day a whiz player in the CF or SS or false 9/AMF roles.. beast player).

-Aaron Samuel

-Fanendo Adi (yet to be capped)


So how is Akpom ahead of any of the above listed players?... The NFF should not waste time with Akpom please. Can they just focus more on Odubajo, Dominic Iorfa, Ehizibue, Ebuehi, And even Adarabioyo and Kigbu?

These are defensive options and defence is Nigeria's archilles heel now. We are well stocked for the next 10 yrs plus in attack and more will still rise and keep rising.... wink



Besides, he didn't consider us all this while till now because he knows he got no chance with England in the long run.

Akpom may eventually agree to play for us but he finds himself behind so many of the above listed players talents-wise.
If he is invited by the NFF dats cool.... You know why?... Complete the phrase below..

..... The more, the _____
SportsRe: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by linked:
Iheanacho should be ruled out of the olympics...
But I. Success can still make the olympics..
The lad is yearning to be at rio..

His transfer to Watford in no way compromises his chance...

He can team up with watford after the olympics.. forget the preseason ish... with or without preseason success is guaranteed play time at Watford... If success had left for watford in January wouldn't he play?..

My main problem is that Siasia has never really rated success.. ofcourse success isnt messi but he is arguably the best in his position naija got in this age grade ... I got some info that siasia initially never had success in his plans for Rio... Now that is worrisome..

Maybe this transfer ish is all Siasia ever needed to ditch him..

By and large, if siasia isnt comfortable working with success.. thats ok.. he is the coach.. but he should deliver..

For the Records.. .. If Success does not make the olympic team, it isnt because he had a transfer to Watford but perhaps siasia always had an illfeeling about success boarding the plane to Rio.. and consequently never pushed for his release..

When Samson siasia is sacked eventually, never again should he be appointed coach of any of the NTs.... not even as an assistant or a technical advicer... He has lot it already...

Having taken some time off through a sack imposed sabbatical from the NT after the 2012 debacle, it was expectd that siasia would have by now--after critical self appraisals--reinvent himself as a coach... No!

Even when the old dogs can now learn new tricks, siasia has in no way change himself... You never can achieve a different result when you keep thinking the same way. Something is fundamentally wrong..

Siasia is a man who keep basking on past glory... Could it all have been a fluke?... Maybe No or Maybe Yes.. chronic failures in recent times makes the latter more plausible..

Siasia have now reached the final cross road... either deliver and revel in renewed glory or sabotage the dream team and go into eternal oblivion...

A well deserved loss... as expected the dream team were overwhelmed... This is not even team...

Siasia should stop wasting the tjme of these players.. . As it stands, from what I can perceive, only 4 of these players can perhaps step up their game to the Olympic level.

By the way isn't it very clear that a certain Osimhen is a better player than Awoniyi?
Awoniyi should be playing with the U20s...Although in the present flyingeagle's team he would find it difficult becoming even the second choice striker...

I still can't fathom why siasia never like Isaac Success..
He long made it clear that success isn't in his Olympic plans...

You Guys are on point, but you should also look at it from this angle!

Sure I agree with you 100%

But to say u dnt consider experience at all. Is what i dnt agree with
The point is... Experience should be reflected in one's ability...

If you are more experienced show it in your ability on the pitch to cope with a match situation, adapt better than others and show awareness of the fine details of the game...

It show be evident in performance and ability to cope or adapt with the game's demand....

When it comes to experience, stop playing the AGE card..

Good. That is d EXPERIENCE i am talking abt.
U cannot discard or "kill" that system.
The word 'experience' has been abused in modern day football.... An individual been older and with more years of playing football is generically viewed as ''more experieced" in comparison with a footballer of less age and fewer years of pro soccer.... However I will say that this view isnt only flawed but a great deceit...

Experience isnt just by the years in the game but the "learning experiences" a footballer has undergone and his ability to adapt per required.

Thus Neymar @ 23 is more experienced than say Emenike who is older and with more years of football..
The reason is simple.. The former has more "learning experiences" than the latter... This could be got in training or real game time... infact the former has undergone unique learning experiences that the latter has not and may never undergo... This clearly makes the former more experienced.

However that been said I agree with TheGoodJoe in wholism that "Form" should supersede the warped view of "experienced"..

Varane (19) was picked ahead pepe (31) by mou..
because the former has become a better player...

Douglas Costa is very good and he been consistent ... but when Ribery and Robben are in their element, it is only normal they start cos they are better than costa...

Simon Moses style of play doesn't fascinate me, I'll rather not take him.... am objective

How about my boy Chidera Eze isnt he good enough for the olympics?.. He is making steady progress at Porto... It been clear right from the U15 tourney he is meant for elite football... Would not mind having him instead of Moses.... now thats sentiments
