Rebelutionary:
How do all those folks that were insulting themselves over some phantom recruitment now feel? It is a good drive but like you said it was only a ticking time bomb considering Nigerian politics but they were saying bla bla about no godfatherism and all sorts! In Nigerian politics there are ALWAYS political interests whether you call them godfathers, cabals because the system is skewed that way!

And yes, you only game a flawed system!

after the error with Buhari, I have come to understand that the system is totally flawed. Not even Jesus Christ can change it.


In a vice presidential debate, Obi said that he won't lock shop because of thieves rather he will install CCTV cameras to catch and discourage thieves. That's how you game the system.

There are career politicians everywhere. Biden is a career politician. That's why Trump didn't last. We should start learning these things if we're going to make the right choice in voting

I hope you guys come back and read. You can't fight the system. You can only game it

Reference:
He was elected to fight.... to change the way things WERE.
Not like what happened in 2015 where so much was promised but at the end of the day they became chief defenders of all that was wrong previously, aka the status quo.
Democracy is not a cake walk and politicians are not beauty contestants or entertainers. They are hated and vilified the world over even when they do right and much, much more when they fail.
It is the fiery kitchen they are called to serve in.
Soludo has started very well and I trust he will become an example of what having intellect and a serious capacity to govern brings.

sir, when it comes to politics, there's already a system in place. That's the sad truth. You as a person outside the system can't fight for his political life when the wahala starts.

Don't fall for the scam that I will "CHANGE" the system rather vote someone who can navigate the system. Peter Obi learned the hard way when he was impeached. When he came back,he started carrying the politicians along and started gaming the system

kettykin:
This is Anambra , majority of the party loyalist might be employers of labor or successful business owners

this is exactly why we make mistakes when it comes to politics. Just because someone is rich doesn't mean he won't be greedy. Okorocha is an example that you can be rich and still be a thief

They're party loyalists and even with their billions,they invested in his election campaign and will want ROI. This guy should be ready to fight from day one

This is sad. Very sad. You cannot build an economically vibrant economy just on paper qualifications only. Nations like Germany have taken the apprenticeship to a whole new level.

just recently, I was at a site of one engineer from here. It happened that he already changed his plastering team. The new guys are so good but unfortunately, they're togolese. I talked to him about it and he said his former team got lazy and nonchalant towards the job so he had to drop them. This is a team that is assured of new job every month but they couldn't keep up. Now some of the money will be leaving Nigeria for Togo monthly.

There's fire on the mountain in this country but we're not even aware yet

diordaves:
The issue is multifaceted.

The woodwork industry like every other industry in Nigeria continue to suffer years of lack of investment. To adopt wood as a solution in the building sub-trade, a nation needs a timber subsector (industry/factory) that can kiln or naturally season dry timber and then CUT THE TIMBER STRAIGHT into various sizes for retail purchase to make kitchen cabinets and internal and external doors and windows.

Due to lack of investment over the years, sawmills up and down the country to date still use machines dating way back before independence to saw raw unseasoned timber into sizes for retail purchase. The results are bent wabbled timber not seasoned. It is a challenge to use such poor quality timber to build kitchen cabinets, doors and windows even with the requisite skill and training.

So the adoption of MDF/HDF which are to a large extent seasoned and cut straight is the classical Nigeria short cut ready made and pure water approach to life.

Another fall out of the lack of investment is the death of the apprenticeship scheme in Nigeria since the introduction of okada/Keke business in the 1980s. The young ones who are not academically inclined have not being encourage by the government to learn a trade like carpentry, joinery or woodwork. So they take the short cut route to employment by riding okada/Keke for business. Senior tradespeople were also not encouraged to continue to offer apprenticeship schemes to the young. The technical colleges/school suffer same neglect by successive government. So today we don't have skilled woodworkers, joiners or carpenters. What we have are just fly by night cut and join pretenders. These people will struggle to put together a wooden kitchen cabinets of the type you have in mind. You will probably need to import the needed wood and labour for a wood kitchen cabinets solution. But if you want cut and join, dem full.

I don't want to bring politics here but it is easy for me to say that Nigeria would have imploded long ago from youth unemployment if not for the Igbo Nation and their apprentice schemes; boys and girls learning work from their oga/madam. The Igbo Nation apprenticeship schemes empower youths than the oil sector and communication sectors put together but unfortunately this is mainly only in the retail trade (buying and selling). If only the Igbo Nation can also offer same opportunity in carpentry, the situation will be different I tell you.

Not until we focus on trade skills instead of paper qualifications, wooden kitchen cabinets as a widespread solution in Nigeria will continue to look like rocket science.

tell you the truth, even the Igbo apprenticeship system is dying.

Right now, traders no longer take apprentices but will rather employ people to work and get paid. Unfortunately these people are more interested in their salaries than taking the skills. For the past few years, not a single young person have come to do apprenticeship program in my business. Not just me but my colleagues too. They will come today and complain about the job being too difficult.

The advent of scam "Yahoo" isn't helping matters at all. Why spend years under the scorching heat of the sun when you can dedicate months on pressing phone and suddenly you're a millionaire.

Wahala dey this country unfortunately both the leaders and masses don't even realize it yet. In a decade or two, our population will explode and there's no job to lubricate the economy

twinskenny:


You see the reason why some of them don't grow? How much will he even make? Maybe 80k maybe less.. now there is a dent on his integrity.

you're the one who is concerned about growth and integrity.

Many cares about that quick buck and nothing else

OBALOLA55:
WHO MENTIONED IGBO HERE

you mentioned nepotism

OBALOLA55:
VILLAGE PEOPLE OR NEPOTISM

he's not the only Igbo person working in the force. No one remains a corporal after three years

You can't tell me otherwise. This is confirm village people oppressing this young man.

Doctorate degree and still a corporal

Chrisvotel:
thats why it's nearly impossible to hack a nuke system

sir, the best way to keep something safe from hack is to ensure you don't have it in a computer. Once it's in a computer, there's always someone who will find a way into it

The parents are culpable in the death of their child.

Offloading the bamboo, and using them to immediately start a scaffolding.........

we're on standby waiting for your engagement as regards this job. Give us this opportunity once again as you have always done. Thank you

budaatum:
I really can not believe you wrote this. You make yourself sound like baboon before Oyinbo evolved you!


Igbo land is not Nigeria!

While you might have been waiting for Europeans to evolve you, Yorubas were well on the way. Islam had arrived with a book and clothes so you can not expect to us to acquire learning and still be walking around naked like you.

in your opinion, being naked is wrong?

It's the natural order to be naked. Evolution gave us clothes but like everything else in this world, we're going back to where we began

budaatum:
Then please learn some more. Below are statues of Yorubas pre-Europeans. See the cloth wrapped round their waste.

LoL. Those were statues that were remade to suit the modesty imposed on us by the Europeans.

All deities in Igbo land are made stark naked and only have a piece of clothing around their waist.

There's a deity in my town called "arusi a gba ọtọ efe". The former worshiper went to Europe to further his education then came back to become full time traditionalist.

Find someone to translate the Igbo for you

budaatum:
Chai! Was your school fees not paid? Who told you this?

my school fees were paid and I learnt a bit of history too.

Ernchibyke:
Indeed the world is really changed and changing. Decency is horridly becoming a thing to be read in the history books.
With this pace will i be wrong to say that a time will come when men and women will be proud walking the face of the earth naked all in the name of freedom.

God help us!

brother, we were moving around naked before the Europeans came. We're just going back to our roots

Chrisvotel:
yes I know what's quantum computing

if you know what quantum computing is, you should know that there's no application nor usage of it yet.

Most nuclear weapons are based on analogue computer and they're airtight. They're not connected to the internet

Chrisvotel:
guy it's not easy to hack a nuke system,it not like a facebook account that any one can hack
You need a quantum computer to do such

do you know what is quantum computing or you just dey blow English

Framed the rails and will continue working on them from tomorrow

Some of the materials I got for the job

So I started working on these fence rails.

You're a scammer and a thief. If you like steal and give to charity,it doesn't make you better than Nigeria politicians.


Y'all are torn from same cloth

Who needs these when cyber warfare is the future. Someone can remotely take control of your systems and your weapons will be used to annihilate you.

Imagine inputting the commands and your system rejecting them

sonnie10:
Hope you know that the little balls at the ends of the rods are the beauty of the original design?

and they're still there. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get something as big as the sample.

One of the things local artisans suffer here is lack of tools and equipments. But there's constant growth

somehow:
Is he right about casement not good with it except sliding?

nope. Your block is 9". Even if it is 6", it would still work perfectly. The only way it won't work is if you want to fit it into the glass as the picture below and the only reason it can't work is because there's no provision for the handle like in the sample below.

Babinski:
While the law is that accussed people are innocent until proven guilty, the information from various sources including ex-staff of Dowen on the issue of bullying shows that it requires further investigation by the Police.

To simply try to equate autopsy result to the solution of an alleged murder case and bullying is shoddy work at its best. There are various ways to kill people that the autopsy would easily attribute to normal death and yet the cases are murder.

How did a football injury within days become a serious generalized infection? Has the deceased been a subject of bullying at Dowen has alleged? Are there student cults at Dowen? Where all relevant parties including students questioned thoroughly? All these are questions raised that we need answers to and not the singular focus on autopsy results. The Police really did a shoddy job.

was late Sylvester bullied? Probably Yes.
Is bullying a crime? Yes
Is there cultism in secondary schools? Yes
Is that also a crime? Yes
Is Dowen college the only secondary school with issues of bullying and cultism? No!!!


While the above happened, that didn't exonerate the parents from their culpability in the death of their son. Someone was injured and you took him to church for prayers. When it became bad, you remembered hospital and social media.

Why not allow your brother to handle his shit or you don't think he's man enough to take care of his private life?

This family scammed Nigerians and used public sympathy to condemn innocent people. The truth is coming out small small

It's looking very good especially with the Range Rover parking beside it

dapotemi:
Beautiful....that means casement cannot go with this, it has to be sliding window? What's the price if you don't mind?

for a 4 by 4 window, it's 22,000 for 14mm

17,000 for 12mm

The window burglaries that I have been working on has been completed and I painted them
