I thought they hate western educztion znd yet they are recommending steve corvey' book to the president.

Breakup, as simple as abc.

Na wao....is this an employment or equity share holding? Be careful be you are goofed.

If this is true, then Pastor Bakare should be reminded of when he used to be a washerman...he too was from a lowly background.

musiwa..,:
yar adua was smart, yar adua was reading nairaland. and he knew who musiwa was. but i left nigeria along time ago.. so i could not remember. when he saw, i was posting the satellite picture. he knew millions of nigerian are going to die.

Musiwa, is that you standing with Yar'dua? Lolz!

Dis Guy: If that happens, they'll probably get 80% of the money back cash n assest and bar upto a 80 people from ever holding public office again
culminating in upto 3 ministers resigning!!

Isn't that what we want? Let the briticos do this job. I am tired of this hipocracy i see all around us.

I emailed you, pls check and reply.

It's a shame that the nigeria judicial system is so wacked up, we have to go britian for a genuine legal verdict. Let the british just come back to continue with their colonization, since we are deprived of a better self rule system. Shame on our leadership.
The subsidy case should be outsourced to the british too.

With the kind of money the custom and immigration makes in that road, it's a a terrible site. I went to badagry beach some months ago...chai, i pitied myself. I got home late, the car was almost hospitalized and what about me....i took some panadol....due to the condition of the road. If armed robber pursue u in that road, you better surender or u r gone.

Dude, if you're going to describe Naija to a foreigner, do so accurately or don't do so at all. In Lagos he does NOT have to ''live without the comfort of electricity''. Quite apart from the fact that the power situation is improving by the day, he also has the easily affordable option of power backup by way of a generator, and can literally live his entire life without worrying about electricity. Even many of the underclass in Lagos can afford to run a gen, so he should have no problems. As for roads, Lagos roads are no worse than those of most major African cities. And I can't remember when last I spent ''3-5 hours'' in traffic like you claimed. That must have been several years ago before the improvements and changes effected by the Tinubu govt and the present Fashola administration.

Rossikk, i am just bn blunt....what would you prefer...to come here and ran back with woeful tales like that of Virgin Branson.....
Its true that there is an alternative of generator, but you must understand that this guy is not conversant with generator usage. The running cost is on the high side.In respect to traffic, pls, come stay on the mainland and work in the island like some of us and you would attestate to what i am saying. It funny that by 9pm, i am still in one traffic in t he island trying to come home after work and have a lot to go tru before i get down to festac where i live. Be real.

@Ops, you are welcome to Naija. I will be frank with you as possible. Nigeria is good for business, a known fact, due to the population size. We are known to be a consuming nation. In respect to location, pls stay in Lagos or abuja. Why Lagos, becos no one gives a hood about where you come from, get a place in any of this suburbs in lagos: victoria island, ikeja, lekki or vgc....you are guaranteed no hassle from any one. Lagos is also safe from kidnap in the south east: port harcourt, enugu, onitsha, aba e.t.c
there are no boko haram boys in lagos too. Lagos is the commercial hub of the nation. If your goods dont sell in lagos, you are out. Lagos has abt 18million people...work the maths.
With that said, to live in lagos, you must have th naija survival spirit, which i am sorry to say, by virtue of luxury and background as an african american, you dont have. Let me be more emphatic. To live in lagos, you must be able to live without the comfort of electricity, good roads...thus reducing the lifespan of ur vehicle. U hav to learn to stay in traffick for hours, i mean hours like 3 to 5 hours within lagos alone...most mornings and evenings. Poor policing and judicial system. Bad politicians and bribes in all sectors. You have to be able to say no most times, with a shout as the occassion demands. Touts are avery where to pirate your products....side by side in the malls and shops and u cant do shit. One nna guy will givi you an exact copy of ur product made in his backyard and u cant do jack. A nigerian spirit is what u need. A simple question for u. Can u stay in the rain and work on ur broken vehicle due to bad roads, in a dirty road? Even the almighty owner of virgin group, branson was driven from naija due to bad politicians.
South africa is also good, they dont our population size but its a better economy and infrastructure. I was there and beautiful for business, but naija has a greater return on investment. We run a cashy economy unlike the south africans. SA is very inviting. U wont wont to leave. Kenya is also good. Nairobi, mombasa, nakuru, eldoret and other cities are good for business. Was there and the economy is very friendly to foreign investors. Lots of asians and foreigners also.
Ghana is calm and very secured, the most secured of all african countries for now, i think. As a foreigner, u cant start retail business there. It must be a mega business....wholesale or manufacturing/production. They are sending foreigners away wit stringe economic policies. You will pay a higher tax than the citizens.
Above all, naija is the bomb....yeah....you must have nigerian assistant to broker deals when its difficult for you to appear. Have a great stay in naija.
My small piece of mind.

All of them should resign and be replaced. Thieves.

On a serious note, it's a welcomed idea for me....it happens abroad with twitter and myspace. Let us cast off these childish bickering and be be welcoming with our words. I would subscribe to a Nairaland National Summit, as suggested earlier. An avenue to brainstorm towards generation next Nigeria.
Seun, pls look into this.....we have a lot to gain. A lot of us here can plan this all out and positively increase our beloved Nairaland traffic,
I promise you there won"t be a single fight, when its well planned.

The almighty Musiwa, the man with the power of the satellite picture....i hail u.....
Abeg, go show GEJ d picture, so we go rest from all the bombing, if possible.....Boko Haram boys...so they would calm down.
Yah knowlegde surpass us oooo. Hahahahahaha. Brossss!

Boko Haram has one only goal, the elimination of all others(xtians formost) who do not believe in their religiog of war and violence, Islam. This is an established fact. They are a terrorist organization and should be dealt with accordingly.
Christians must understand that this is a war against all xtians, i foresee the government reluctance to help christians in the future......what will the north become for the xtians and none muslims who will be left without assistance?

Chei! I don laff nearly fall for ground. Kai....what a dose of lafter for d day. This is why i love nairaland.... Musiwa, u remind me of frank spencer in some mothers do have them, abi i don forget am.
Musiwa, hey.....you need serious help. Lol.

Kudos to those xtian youth...pls, enlist me for the next reprisal attacks. You can't butcher my brethren and yan me nonsence of peace. I am a xtian but not a fool, if u r one, gud for u. Stop telling me that bh are different from d muslims..... The northern leadership frontes this group, they can stop it....how many of them are speaking out against bh?
Kill them all.....finnish them, if the dont want us to rest...what nonsence.

I will be the first to vote him in as the next president of nigeria. We need men like him.
Who ever knows him should tell him to contest. He's got my support even though i am not an ibo man.

Can't they just live that fascinating name for us, why are we always going back to the stone age? From univ of lag to moshood abiola university...when u hear university of georgia, capetown, arizona e.t.c....e no dey sweet for mouth? Why are we retarding?
Pls, let that name remain?

Bad debt, written off or pro rate to all new countries base on federal allocation quota before disintergration.
Nigeria should pls divide.

Nigeria in 20years would still no catch up with South Africa' level of devt. I just returned from there, its appalling and heart breaking. The only strength naija has is population and nothing more. I returned since 2weeks and had not had the previlage of sleeping with light. I am suffering, its against my neighbourhood policy to on my generator all tru d night. The wickedness of our leaders wont allow for development.
Its no just because they have the whited, i know the southy blacks are lazy, but still if we the right leadership in place, things will run well.
I want to be the next nigerian president, watch out for progress.

I just got a mail from AP Oil Services Ltd for Executive Trainee. Pls, how true is this? They didnt demand for money. Any one got the mail?

Its sunday and i had to go to church. My first choice earlier when i came was a south african church close to my flat, good worship and word but a few of sout african songs gets me mouth-mumbling. Lots of niajan churches though e.g WInners, RCCG, CAC but Glory Christian Church of Pastor I.S.James in struben caught my attention today, reminds me of home...lots of naijan faces and homely praise worship. Will be worshipping there b4 i go home.
How was your sunday experience? Abi u no dey go church here? Ciao!

Ah na wa, southy na rush rush...its a jungle here. The city is calm this morning because of the public holiday here. Anyone we don stay lasgidi b4 can survive here.
Answers to questions:
1. South-Out jobs: For professionals, accountants, medicals, and alot others. Its advisable to get their own certifications. It helps a great deal. They don't place value on naija' certificates here...anyway, u still have to convert your grade in SAQUA with few rands. Some one mentioned paramedics above. You can study here as well, that is if u have the cash.
For other skilled works, mechanics are hot cakes here. Welder, plumber, electrician. Its not those cut and nail work some of you do back in naija o...u must be good...it will take u a while though, but wen God smiles on you, u r made. I was told of a naija village guy, a mechanic, that came here, he is now a multi millionaire. If u r a hairdresse/baber and u can fight for customers on the street to your shop, witout shame of who will probably see u from naija...u r on d go, but too much compitetion o for major cities o...u might have to go to sttaions(rural arear, wey still fine wella) and make ur money slow slow.
Abeg, come wit money o..cos yah broda go fit arrest u o, if u too they chop him food for free o. Great day and i am signing out. Peace!

@qeenyetty
Good and straight to the point. I am glad for you. Your experience is refreshing and i am proud of you as a nigerian in SA.
A point i want to establish, Southy is a land of opportunity. A green country wit boundless wits. The truth is all these are for those who prepared their coming wit enof money and sought-for skills.
The fact abounds that well over 70% of naijas here were not ready b4 coming here, just go to d asylums offices today and u will know what i am talking about.

We don't question the fact that dreams are achievable here, but @ what proportion compared to nigeria? In naija, u don't have to be a graduate to eat in your first week of relocating to a new city...there are menial jobs that will fend for your initial needs, but here...na zero. Its only handwork like mechanic, plumber, electrician, hair barber/dressers e.t.c and yet the competition is stiff. Imagine, if u are an hairdresser, b4 some1 will get to yah shop, he has bn evaded with a hundred of hungry looking, visious nigerians and others with placards on the street. Its patetic.
By the way, i am a graduate and not just one lazy-talker.
Schooling here is good, but with soo much money, if at masters level...u will get buseries that can take care of yah...like R2500 or so, depending on d school. But the truth is there are no jobs yet for the southy and now you who is a foreigner.
Here, what pays is business. When coming, hold yah side well well. Its tough. I was with a guy who has bn here for like 10yrs yesterday and he was lamenting that southy has changed.
Make sure u have money, dont come empty handed. Here, u r on yah own oh...ur brother go collect rent from u self, including that one wey sey he don make am here above...they cant host their parents from home, cos most of naija are squatting here. Hold yah millions as u dey come...if u come broke, u go go back broke and if possible, as winter they come next month, die broke in the cold, cos u no go get were to lay yah head. Shikena....he that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the naija people church 4 southy!
