If u want to apply 4 ur mum u must include ur dad and all ur siblings under the age of 21. 4.If u are 15 now u can apply as ur age will definitely be 16 b4 the result & other tins are set. 16 is the minimum age. GOODLUCK.

@OP,Pls for the gud of ur kids & ur life,kindly divorce that man & live wit ur kids happily,am nt saying that there can't b misundastanding in marriages bt when physical abuse is involvd u need to take extra caution cos the devil is very crafty,the next physical abuse might b ur journey to the grave.Live him nw & be happy wit ur kids,he doesn't deserve to b ur husband.i've had relatnshps where we quarel alot bt i will neva raise my hand to beat a my girlfriend,talkmore of my wife.IF U LOVE UR LIFE PLS LEAVE THAT MARRIAGE B4 U BECOME OBITUARY LIKE THAT BANKER THAT WAS KILLED BY HER HUSBAND.GOD BLESS U

Well,just like someone said that some few years ago Nigerians will give a definite NO-NO answer but am happy things are really changing fast and we are getting more open minded.Of all the relationships I've ever had i always enjoy the ones with ladies older than me especially when i was in skool,i dated a lady 4 years older and she was great though we later parted ways due to marriage tinz.
Older ladies are more matured,understanding,patient,supportive and respectful than these small girls who run their mouths,misbehave and talk anyhow.
Seriously am praying to God to give me a lady 2 to 5 years older than me as my lovely wedded wife till death do us part.

@OP and other contributors,i really comend the gud job of advice u have done,let me make sometin very clear here,while i was in skool i knew guyz dat realy looked quiet bt were dangerous,some pretend @home to b gud bt in skool they are vipers,the problem is there's no morals in the society anymore,where u will see a boy as young as ur the last born in ur family threatens and insults u all becos they are students & feels they are hard guys,imagine behaving rudely or trying to opress an illitrate in his own community,u knw the consequences.While in skool,i choosd my friends wisely for various needs & they are friends dat adds value to my educatn/learning & positive tins,i avoid parties outside skool,i dnt move wit guys wit questionable characters,if i dnt have a geniune bizness somewhere u wnt find me there,i respectd every1 in my neighborhood that i was made the caretaker of my compound,PHCN bill collector & was very faithful.,Bottom Line....As a youth/STUDENT,Watch ur ways,ur friends/companies & dnt be @the wrong place where u are nt wantd.If u love ur life & ur struggling parents live a low key life & danger will be 10 steps away frm u,hard living(fake life) comes with serius consequences though some do escape bt U mite nt b dat Lucky.#A Word is enuff for the Wise.

Hello Gurus in tha House,i really enjoy ur discussions and contributions on this forum as it has helped both winners and future winners,specifically i will like to mention few of these guys like Adesojiaderemi,Temmytanny,Brightmon and co who have sacrificed their precious time to share their experiences.I have a few question even though am not a winner yet but i hope to be soon,my question goes thus:
1.On Blacklisting; i applied for the DV 2013 the first day of registration and applied with format name (Chukwuma,Ciroma Adekunkle with a passport) and as the registration was about closing an aunty of mine requested to help us do a family application which she collected all our passport including mine(am above 21 but i never knew i wasn't eligible for family category) so she collected and did the registration over the in the states,later i discovered it wasn't a family registration she did cos she sent me a confirmation number(which means that i have done a double registration) though the passport and name format she used was different from the one i did(she used,Chukwuma,Adekunle Ciroma)...now can this really be termed a multiple entry/reguistration and can i be blacklisted for subsequent DVLottery program,and if am fortunate to be selected for the DV2013 by October 22nd,will it in anyway affect my processing visa.

2.Gurus in the house that have scaled through the interview and gotten ur visa; what do u think might make someone to be denied of visa on interview day? and from ur experience,perception and intuition,what really is the CO looking out for in an interviewee. We need to know all this before hand cos these guys can be very funny,when they deny u visa sometimes it looks as if heaven has shuts it's doors at u cos there's no amount of plea or conviction that will change the CO's mind.

thanks for your help and reply in advance

@OP,in as much as blogging is been used primarily for information sharing whether copy & paste is not a bad idea becos even Lindaikeji do copy & paste too from internationak blogging & gossip sites,can u be 100% confident of been the original owner of all content on ur blog? Never! I believe wit time even those doing copy & paste will start adding more value jst like 222Martins,my brother blogging by any means to make a living is not a crime & is far beta than stealing,idle or been jobless. In the process of blogging "copyright" content some people will discover their talent/passion...so pls encourage upcoming bloggers & give them a chance...The sky is wide enuff for all the birds in the world to fly without hurting eachother.Tank u

General Sani Abacha

Nigerian police have recovered a stash of gold and diamond jewellery worth thousands of pounds from robbers who targeted a home of the country's most notorious former dictator.

Officials in arid Kano, in northern Nigeria, said four men swiped $125,000 (£77,000) of jewellery last year – a staggering 20m naira in local currency, or 100 years' income for the average Nigerian – after raiding one of many sprawling, lavish homes of the former military ruler Sani Abacha.

"We are still investigating. Not all the stolen jewellery has even been recovered," said a Kano police inspector, Ibrahim Idris, as officials displayed a glittering pile that included two dozen gold necklaces and some 40 pairs of gold earrings.

The greed of Abacha, who ruled for five years after a 1993 coup, shocked even Nigerians used to plundering on a grand scale. He is believed to have stolen $4.3bn while in office. In one case, he was accused of gutting a $500m state-owned steel plant. The tradition has continued as Nigeria's oil wealth continues to be looted. In April, James Ibori, an influential governor, was jailed in the UK for looting $250m over eight years.

The Abacha family have largely lain low since the short, flamboyant general died of a heart attack while cavorting with Indian prostitutes. As his death sparked an outpouring of jubilation, his wife Maryam was caught trying to flee the country with 38 cash-stuffed suitcases. A $5m Peace Foundation set up by the family, intended to sell "Abacha-themed" televisions, sandals, rice and soap, later , went bust.

"That amount of money spent on jewellery is just confusing. What exactly was he doing to earn that kind of money? And how can anyone spend so much on jewellery?" asked Muhammadu Bello, a local trader whose annual income is about $1,200.

A push to recover $4bn squirrelled away into the family's private accounts in Switzerland forced the tax haven to relax banking secrecy regulations after landmark rulings. In 2006, the Swiss authorities returned $500m to Nigeria – the first time European banks had returned looted money to an African country.

Nigeria's anti-corruption agency estimates about $400bn has been siphoned off from the oil-rich country into private pockets since 1960. Globally, developing countries lose up to $40bn a year through corruption, according to the World Bank.

@Adesoji,@Temmytanny,@Brightmon and everyone that answered my question,i really appreciate your replies,thanks so much and God bless u all.
I hope to join u guyz soon either from the DV2013 redraw or DV2014,By the Special Grace of GOD.

it's really great to see Nigerians trying to really adhere to strict instructions,u all know the consequence if u don't adhere...lolz
well i just need to ask @temmytanny,@adesoji,@brightmon some salient questions;

1. Which browser did u use to applied during ur time?tell us exactly when u applied(from start date of registration).
2. I used a white background i.e a white wall in my house to take my passport,the wall had a small hole somewhere which is might or might no be very obvious,could this affect me in anyway during the selection? though all other conditions were met
3. some of my friends used a white wall which was a bit coarse,could this also affect them in anyway during the selection? all other conditions were met also.
4. @ Temmytanny,from what i gathered on some immigration forum; u must have a continuous stay in US for 5 years to get ur Citizenship and u mustn't leave outside of US for more than 6 months from the day u receive ur GC and u always have to apply for a re-entry permit if u live outside the US for upto 6 months to retain ur GC status....my questions is this for example if u have a good job in Naija and u still hope to retain ur GC status how do u go about it pending when u get a good job in US?.
5. How long do u have to stay in Naija after u get ur DV visa before u go to the US.

Thank u all for ur kind,sincere and quick response to my questions above...God bless u all.

Usher was recently awarded full custody of his two young sons Usher Raymond V and Naviyd, whom he had with Foster.

Foster, who was left heartbroken when her 11-year-old son Kile Glover was killed in a jet ski accident earlier this year, has been living in the house alone since they split but their divorce agreement stated that Usher could sell the property at any time as long as he gave her 60 days notice.

The popstar's lawyer has already sent Foster a letter informing her of his plans to sell the 12,000 sq. ft. house, which he bought in 2007 after getting engaged to the former stylist, according to US gossip website TMZ.

Foster is said to be devastated because she has no personal income and has been struggling financially since their divorce in 2009.

But sources close to Usher insist he has given his ex-wife plenty of notice to move out of the house and find a new place to live.

Foster recently denied being "gold-digger" and also claimed she is fully able to support herself.[img][/img]

femijck: Plz guys i dnt understand wat going on now because nw that i heard kcc has postpone any list ...can those of us hoping to see our name in oct list ...stil put in for d dv2014 ..hope that nt against d DV law.

It's not against the law,u are very much free to apply again even if u win for dv2013.the only crime is if u submit 2 entries for a particular Dv,but so far is different year DV then u are free.

I still try to imagine what kind of country we live in; fine it's very human for us to pray and have pity on our leaders and their family but i want us to look at it the other way round,how many of our leaders really have pity and sympathy for the masses they rule or are suppose to serve,if they truly have sympathy for us they will construct good roads,build and equip hospitals with latest technology and manpower,build good schools and improve the standard of education,create jobs and other social welfare program to take care of unemployed youths and tackle social problems that aid social vices,establish good transport systems that are affordable for the masses,make energy and power available to the masses and work towards making the society a better place for us to live in.Not until our leader begin to change for good and have a rethink over the way they rule us with great corruption,impunity and waste of our national resources on their selfish self and relatives non of them deserve my prayers,and i will really encourage Nairalanders to save their breath and prayers for children in the orphanage,poor people,unemployed youths and poor women/widows. When they are there at the top embezzling money and our national resources they don't have a bit of mercy or compassion for us,they stuck billions in foreign accounts and investments and were about to even create N5000 note to increase their loot,they use humans for sacrifices to gain more spiritual and physical powers for dominance over the people they are suppose to serve and yet you people are here praying for them when they have bloods on their hands. I don't wish Patience Jonathan any evil lest i become like them but i can pray for her either.

shadys: The training was on business process outsourcing(cross culture,speaking and communication skills,ms office suite),this I believe is one important added advantage any graduate would hope for.

NIIT trained 300+ participants in Kaduna.

The job fair was meant for employers to come and recruit graduates,invitations were sent to various companies,organizations but only few showed up and the training institutes that handled the training in various states had to collect CV's of the students they trained.

Job Fair in Nigeria is pretty new.

I think you should appreciate the BPO training and certificate you received courtesy of World Bank.

WTF!!! are u talking about here? i attended the program/training from day one,and it seemed good when the Indian guyz handled it but as soon as it was hijacked by Nigerian guyz the program became rubbish,we were supposed to be trained on BPO/CCIP but we were not given the training rather i still received text up till today from their so called BPO academy that i should come and pay a particular discounted amount for their training,meanwhile these training they now advertise to us is supposed to be free and part of the world bank program.
Fine,no knowledge is a waste but the bottom line here is that the AIM OF THE WHOLE PROGRAM WAS NOT REALIZED AND WAS A BIG FLOP,PERIOD!!!

After the whole training and exams for ten weeks,result was out and we never heard anything reasonable from them,since then i started having a second thought about those guyz; world bank made a mistake to have used this guyz in conducting this training and organizing this whole program from start,i saw a big Bleep up ahead since they hijacked the program from the Indian guyz(Aeon Hewitt),nothing ever does well in the hand of a Nigerian company especially when it comes to doing things in a proper way.I'm happy i didn't risk my life and waste my resources coming to Lagos,cos my friends were there to tell me the whole thing going on.It is a big shame.

@OP,in as much as we all knw for a fact that Nigerian police are highly corrupt & evil,i defer to say that ur friend is nt totally innocent of his involvement in the crime @hand becos there's no smoke witout fire,even if the so killers don't mention him,it's possible he has sold such to them in the past b4 now or has done a dirty deal wit them in the past nt necessarily in Cynthias' case.lastly what do u call professional ethics-u don't comprise for any reason even by the NMA & Pharmceutical Ass. constitutions u're not supose to do ur job base on emotions or greed,rememba there's no ignorance in the law & with the heat on board i fear that u friend is in deep shit...don't vouch for any1 even ur father cos humans are very dynamic & can change @ anytime.my little cent

@Onezaki tanx a million,i also refer to technical test as skill test cos chevron call it skill test

onezaki: Their aptitude test is mainly SHL questions. Google online and you would find the format. There would be 32 verbal questions to be completed in exactly 18mins and 20 numerical questions to be completed in 20mins. You have to be very fast and accurate. The technical test would be based on your field. Since u are applying for reservoir engineering, u have to focus on reservoir engineering or geology. All the best.

My brother may God almighty bless u and ur generation forever...AMEN and tanx alot i've gathered materials and the ones i used in the past for dragnet and am also looking to get a format for the skill test.please i did be glad if u can help me with the skill test format is it theory or OBJ and other details.

Hello forumites,i just received an email from Total E&P inviting me for an aptitude test and technical skill test for reservoir engineering job in Port Harcourt on 6th of September,2012.
Please if you applied/received such mail kindly reply and let me know cos am just wondering how come they are doing the test themselves and not through Dragnet,also share your ideas on the kind of questions u tink they will set,experience from guy who have written this test or working with Total is highly appreciated...Please lets Unite our ideas to succeed.TANX

@Safeact can u link me up with the lady?
Am serius & down to earth person

No Dnt Marry d guy,UR MARRIAGE WILL BE MISERABLE!!!

Ladies remain single cos they don't like sincere & truthful guyz,that's why u see players get all d girls & the good guyz hardly get any girl,the ladies want this players to marry them but nah the player is catching fun with them till they are expired & they start going to church for deliverance frm family witch......Few days ago I met a lady in a bus,she was pretty & kinda older than me but was attracted to her so I tried chatting her up & joke with her & she just hissed @Me as if a no body is talking,Imagine how will such a lady get into a serious relationship & get married.I never wooed her but tried to get familiar first but she just behave stupidly,even if she's not interested she should have politely answered me & keep silent.....So ladies have attitude problem & also choice of kind of person

sexkillz: [color=#000030]^My online personality is not a reflection of who i am in the real world. I don't care about online reputations, so you may wanna roll up your advice, and shove it!

No offence, and spoken like a brother as well. . .
[/color]

Well now I see that u truly don't want to change and I see also that u're not sincere with ur life,how can ur online personality be different from the real u; out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh/ hand writes,or express ursef,also by their fruits we shall no them. With the way u talk seriously am very much convinced now that u have a problem.

Well am a staunch reader & member of this group though I don't usually comment anyhow or post rubbish,I think some people should learn courtesy,attitude & manners,when a topic is posted for u to comment,u try as much as possible to to comment reasonably without insultive words or languages; when u insult at a slightest post it means something is Fundamentally wrong with u and u need to check ur life physically & spiritually over & over again...take note Sexkillz;I've diligently observed dat 95% of all ur post on this forum is either insult or empty brags which will eventually lead u no where in life,please it's high time u change ur attitude & also to similar kids like him,although am sure ur reply to my observation will be anoda insult instead of taking time to reflect on urself,but I don't care cos I've made my observation & have advised u like a brother.takia

@OP,i will advise u seat ur ass down in UK & neva tink of coming back cos Naija is hell,no mata wat u guys are facing in UK,people here are looking 4 a means to get out,even people wit an investment capital of £100,000 fail due to wrong investment advise frm dick & harry,419, power failure & other forces.But if u insist on investing in Nigeria,the only secure investment is property biz;buy plots of land wit genuine & verified papers in selectd locations i wil giv u,fense it or lease it/buy a house & use it 4 rent in d nxt 5 years or more come & tank me cos u might b having 500% ROI. Goodluck

@OP ,Jst like Danka777 said u should marry some1 u both understand eachother very well be it naija or white,the bottom line is love,undastanding & choice,what works for me may not work for u cos we have different orientation,lifestyle & culture,as for me i realy in love with the white ladies especialy americans cos they're so different in reasoning frm naija babes;naija babe can b vry difficult & like some1 said there both good & bad girls in evry tribe or race of the world...choose wisely.

Fellow NLders please kindly help with any source of information at your disposal on how i can get a scholarship for masters programme in Nigeria,i will be starting my masters in september and it will require some money and i really need to get a scholarship/sponsorship/assitance in any way i can because the school and course is kinda expensive.I will gladly appreciate if any one here can help with information by sending me a mail brahamdon@gmail..com....Thank you
