It's clear that you've never been to the US or to the West for that matter.

Mind your business!

Am currently in the U.S, 7 years now. Calm down. A lot of Americans frown upon indecent dressing, even in South Africa where ladies go out almost nude, a lot of people look at them with disgust.

I do not support embarrassing her in such manner.

Having said that, I think condemning her outfit would have been appropriate.

Some of you keep saying people should nind their business, mind your business, mind your business, and we will have our ladies walking around nude. We will have our young men sagging their trousers like idiots.

This whole mind your business is making people do stupid stuff. Even in the U.S and U.K, such dressing is frowned upon. But a lot of people who have never left their street thinks this is normal in the U.S, no its not.

South Africa will fumble under a good team that pressures them. Just a little bit of pressure and they've been disorganized.

South Africa is really trying though.

Why remove simon and iwobi.....they've been the active ones.

How is the foul on carragher not a penalty?? EPL oooo. He was one tap from putting the vall in the net, why would he want to fake that.....

Yaya Toure, how market.

Yaya Toure...

ogaontop:

Bro, I think it's good you read those links you posted. Mr Ibu openly endorsed Tinubu and later campaigned for LP gubernatorial aspirant in Imo state, just like Kate Henshaw endorsed Peter Obi and later campaigned for APC in Imo state. Read and understand!!
Don't conclude like a slowpoke except if you are one!

I guess your brain's left with 2023......read my whole quote.

GO0DHardDick:
Sadly Tinubu didn't give this guy appointment after all his asslicking.

Yul edochie is currently asslicking the drug lord for a juicy appointment. Unfortunately, the same fate awaits him, he'll be ignored by the drug lord

Mr Ibu campaigned for Peter Obi, and he has been very sick. What exactly is your point?

People get sick for different reasons, and not because of their political opinions. There are a lot of people in the hospital today who are facing life threatening diseases and they supported Peter Obi.

CheedyJ:

Stop arguing what you don't know or better still drop your stats

Indian has a population of 1.4billion people, and about 1.8 million Indians are living in the U.K. Statistically, by population ratio, we have 0.12% of Indian population lives in the U.k

Nigeria has a population of about 200 million people, and about 300,000 Nigerians live in the United Kingdom, by population ratio, we have 0.15% of Nigerians living in the United Kingdom.

Therefore, statistically, we have more Nigerians living in the U.K than Indians.

Yorubas are everywhere at the top, but very quiet with their achievements.

I am an international recruiter/HR manager, and I have been using calendly for years. In 2018, I was like let me check the owner of this company. Guess what, he is Yoruba, and he is very quiet.

Calendly is worth $3billion, yet the owner is not online bragging or showing off.

Trust me, the Yorubas are certainly a different breed, and yeaa, the most sophisticated.

Nigerians never stops o amaze me. Every time a story of Dangote refinery comes up, I see a lot of people complaining. Some go as far as saying the refinery is a scam.

First and foremost, there is no businessman who doesn't want to make money from his investment. Dangote wants to make money, and he has invested billions into this project, and he will do anything to make sure it succeeds. Like every other businesses, there are going to be hiccups and delays and other issues before it fully kicks off. This is not a fast food restaurant project. Engineering and mechanical projects of this magnitude will certainly face challenges before fully operational.

Why are people calling this project scam?? Like really??

Dangote wants to make money and he certainly will. I think you guyz should focus on your own life and projects cause Dangote will succeed with this.

easyfem:
This will take about 20 years before they complete the project.... and beside , why US firm , why not naija firm .... we have billionaires enough in this country... abeg this is monday morning make them no start with bad news ...

Refineries take about 12 - 35 months to construct. Nigerian has less than 10 billionaires in dollars. The United States have over 700 billionaires. There is a massive difference.

FireUpNow:


You are telling me that average black South African is loving better than average Nigerian?

Far better, sentiments aside. An average Nigerian battles with more challenges than they do. This includes water, electricity, bad roads, bad schools, lack of basic amenities, lack of opportunities, high food prices, the lists is long.

Give an average hard working black South African a visiting to the U.S, Canada or U.K, he is highly likely to return back to South Africa after a week or two. Give an average Nigerian the same opportunity, and he is not coming back any moment soon.

FireUpNow:
How? Have been watching South African and the environment the blacks are living in? They are no better than Nigerians ooo. The whites are better off.

You probably have never been to South Africa.
An average black South African lives well, and enjoys. Might not be a millionaire, but they live a good live.

There are so many white South Africans begging on the streets and at traffic stops. You have so many white South Africans working at the parking lots in malls and you see black South Africans giving them R5 and changes.

There are extremely wealthy black South Africans and there are extreme wealthy white South Africans. Same way you have poor black South Africans, you also have poor white South Africans.

An average black South African eats in on of the biggest fast food outlets at least 3 times a week (not the healthiest option), wears some of the biggest clothing brands in the world, has a ok car, has a ok house, has medical aid, has life cover that pays his family up to R1.5million (60 million naira) if he dies, enjoys basic amenities and has the opportunity to enjoy world class amenities and facilities.

They have access to good bursary for education, they have access to business loans, home loans, they have access to some of the best Universities in the world, I mean South African universities.

Almost every little town has a good sporting facility and sport centers, and parks where people go for fun.

They have access to some of the biggest malls in the world. Most black South Africans are not moved by the United States or Canada or the United Kingdom because they have seen it all. From sky scrappers to food to designers to malls, winters cars, houses, just name it.

The list is endless....

They are not rich, but they are doing well.

So inflation is a global problem right?
So half chicken and chips with kopparburg cider at jd Weatherspoon that sells for 11 pounds, you now buy it for 70 pounds right? A pack of water you buy for 2.50 is is now 30 pounds abi? Has inflation whereever you are risen by 1000%?
Augmentine that was 2500 is now 29k? Is that the inflation you say is a global problem?

Learn to read and understand.......the last airbnb I stayed in NYC was $88/night in 2022, same place goes for $264 per night now.

I have friends in the U.S who can't afford to pay their mortgage again, and had to forfeit their home this year. Mind you, they've owned the house for over 8 years. This is the first time I am traveling and every Uber driver who has picked me up have some horrible lamenting about inflation. Imagine a house where husband and wife are working, yet, all their salaries goes in to bills.

I am not here to compare, my point is that its crazy all over the world.

You know its crazy when you see Indians leaving Canada and moving back to India.

In as much as I haven't been to Nigeria in over 9 years, I can comfortably tell you that this is a global problem.

I have been to several countries in the last few months, and there has been a massive inflation. This is not a Nigerian problem, it is a global problem.

The level of inflation in South Africa, Canada, the United States, and Australia is mind blowing.

Don't get me started on the flight tickets. It was never this high, and I can tell you it is at an all time high.

To be honest, the world is upside down. You walk into a grocery store with $200 budget, and you're asking yourself what the hell is going on in here. Its just crazy.

Nigeria gives her citizen emergency travel document when you have to return home and your passport is stolen or for whatever reasons.

I have seen Nigerians use it in the United States, and South Africa.

But guess those who think Nigeria doesn't give one? Does who have never left their villages.

Nazgul:
Please I want to ask. The oil Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar... etc has, is the same oil we have here in Nigeria?

Cos with the kind of oil and other mineral resources we have in this country, it's almost impossible to believe that Nigeria has one of the lowest GDP per capita in the world. It's citizens are languishing in abject poverty.

UAE: population is 10 million, they produce about 4 million barrels of petroleum and liquids per day.

Nigeria: Population is over 200million, but produces about 1.5 million barrels per day.

Lets say a barrel of oil is $80, The UAE makes $320,000,000 per day for 10million people.

Nigeria makes $120,000,000 per day for over 200million people.

With that massive population, Nigeria aint that rich after all.

Nigeria needs to diversify its economy.

Marketing strategy......I guess he is trying to promote the song.

Generally, B.sc with Honors is considered higher than just B.sc.

Here is why, I have a Bachelor's degree in xxxxx, with honors in Business management. My certificate says B.sc xxxxx, Honors in Business. Therefore, I studied in two different faculties/departments to have a Bachelor's degree in one department and honors in business from another department.

In some countries like South Africa, you cannot do your masters degree until you complete a one year honors.

headboyprince:
you talk like a 5 yr old to be honest...ill show you that youre the real kid between the both of us..


America didn't make which list..did you just hear yourself..

People that have over 300+ universities ranked in top 2000.... ?

And no America only have about 1500 verified universities ?

And saying Nigeria universities are lowly ranked because of poor funds is like saying you're aren't rich as dangote because you don't make as much money as him.. Of course..

or are you. saying fishes can't fly because they have no wings..

Is it the us fault that told your govt can't invest in it's universities?? Please stop being dumb

Apparently you lack comprehension. The point I made was, some glorified American universities did not make the list. I totally understand that you lack comprehension.

Also, where did I blame the United States?? What I said was, Nigeria is on 1,164 position based on the circumstances surrounding it. To whom much is given, much is expected. Nigeria has tried based on the fundings it received.

University of San Diego and University of North Florida made it to 1990+, despite University of San Diego charging as much as $30,000+ for tuition fee, and you think University of Ibadan hasn't tried. You know nothing boy.

You went ahead and gave some dumb and ridiculous comparisons. I wasn't comparing, I was stating fact.

By the way, I am done with you.....enjoy.

headboyprince:
shut up! its more like the opposite, Nigeria are too comfortable with mediocrity... they always believe in false hope.. why they stagnant.. only 2 universities out of almost 200 universites in nigeria manage to make it to 1000+ and you're calling it a win... win in what exactly..?...


i knew you were dumb, when you said so many American, Canadian, and British universities didnt make the list... you dey whine me? na your type go dey tell people not to go to UK, that Nigeria isnt that bad....Dummy!

You're simply emotional and irrational. I haven't been in Nigeria in the last 9 years, and I did my M.sc in the United States. I certainly would love people to trave the world.

America has over 3,000 universities and colleges, and yes, they didn't make the list.

Your level of comprehension is quite low to understand the point I made.

Let me help you nitwit. Nigeria is budgeting about $500million on 14 federal universities. University of Cambridge alone gets a budget of £2.308 billion. How can you compete with that?

That means the likes of University of Ibadan is funded with $35million compared to £2.308 billion budgeted for University of Cambridge. How can you compete with such institutions? They have the resources to hire the best brains, build the best equipments, build world class laboratories and test centres. They have the resources to build world class facilities and projects. They cam embark on any projects or research because they have the funding.

Despite all the shortcomings of Nigerian universities, they were still able to get something. That I believe is a step in the right direction.

You want to get a Ferrari result with a picanto. Get some brains boy.

You must be a nitwit. Now run along little child and play with your toys.

Amopeekun:
You took the words right out of my mouth!

Imagine fa, over 20,000 universities!

Anyways, I am not surprised, some of us are never grateful for anything. It's a pity, really.

Don't mind those dumb heads. Nigeria is budgeting about $500million on 14 federal universities. University of Cambridge alone gets a budget of £2.308 billion. How can you compete with that?

That means the likes of University of Ibadan is funded with $35million compared to £2.308 billion budgeted for University of Cambridge.

Thomasankara:
[/color] the countries of the world reach 1000😂[color=#770077]

Am not sure if you understand English. I said, 20,000 universities were ranked from all countries in the world. The United States alone has over 3,000 universities. Asia has over 13,000 universities.

SmithRussell:
That's not the point. They ranked higher before, so why should we celebrate backwardness??
It's just like a person whose last job was 5million annually being told to be celebrate 800k just because other people are jobless and hungry, makes no sense.

Every university on that list have one point or the other been ranked higher or lower. That's life, its not the same every year. The most important thing is to go back to the drawing board and come back strong. The good thing is, they made the list.

Some nicompoop are already complaining up there. You know why Nigeria has been stagnant? Because we don't celebrate the small wins then aspire from there.

20,000 universities were ranked from all countries around the world. Nigeria made it ti the list of 2,000 globally ranked universities and made it to 1,164, yet someone up there who probably doesn't even have a high school certificate is complaining.

Imagine Nigerian universities receiving the necessary support and funding, I am sure they will make it to to first 200.

Despite the strikes, underfunding, lack of equipments and resources, they still made the list.

So many American, Canadian, and British universities didn't make the list. I think they have done well considering the circumstances.

When Nigerians talk about their politicians, I start wondering if the politicians are from another country, or if the politicians are some kind of different humans.

In as much as the leaders of the country are dumb, I can say its a reflection of the society.

I was in a country few days ago, and I heard the story of a young Nigerian who we had to assist.

A Nigerian collected 1.2 million Naira from this young mans old mother for a visa that cost less than 60,000 naira. His mother had to sell all she had because they promised the youbg man a job. Guess what, there was no job. Now he is stranded and we had to help.

Some of those castigating the leaders are worse than the devil. I have stopped taking Nigerians serious. Of course, we have some good heads, but I can say a large percent of the population will perform worse if given the opportunity.

lavylilly:
Can I drop your my CV too.

All my recruiting projects have been in the U.S and Europe, the only countries I do in Africa are South Africa and Mauritius.

Regardless, send me your email. I will send you an email where to send your resume.

Whenever there is an opening for fully remote role, then I will let you know.

BennyDGreat:


Well, terrible folks are always everywhere but like you said, they can be reported. For Naija, the reporting doesn't make no difference except in few instances....which involves you knowing some top folks in the coy....


Nigeria has some of the smartest brains hands down....The pressure we face on a daily makes us think out of the box most times....those coys are really losing out on top talents...

Yea, thats the difference.

In regards to talents in Nigeria. That's so true. However, clients do not doubt the quality of talents, they have a problem with the payment structure. Hence, they would rather recruit from countries where payments (salaries) are easier to make.

randymirrors:


Wow. Finally, someone who's passionate about HR. Many people do this course and get certified for name's sake. They couldn't care less.

That's so true. HR is an art tangled in sales, customer service and people management. It is a very sensitive industry. As an HR personnel or recruiter, you are the face, brand and culture of a company a prospective employee will first encounter.
