timmfikk:
@na2day, If you have been able to learn about everything on earth, kindly allow we the student to learn as well.

well in life, alot of things u can learn by just observing others go through it without actually reinventing the wheel urself but if u want to learn the wrath of a woman/deception in the name of crying, be my guest.

tRoOE:
Judging from guy reaction
He wipes off the tears while kissing me at the same time taking away my pain and agony, then he holds me until i cool down. He knows when to talk or reply, his so good at listening while i pour out my heart/pain
He hate to see my cry or sad

Story!!! na 2 day we dey hear dat one?

nomanicole:
congratulations!na una be d 1st people 2 enta nysc camp,even 1st corpers 4 this world.i wonder what is fantastic about it,you guys don't even have anything 2 talk about can we hear sumthn else

are u serving in abuja, if yes, where?

idygurl:
Yeah, do ladies still cry these days?
I'm all out of tears my dears

after seeing ur pic, u sure dont look like someone that can cry at all. well, if u need to be trained on how to cry, i know a school called, college of crying and crying technologies, i recommend that u go there for some lessons

hmmmmmmmmmmm, this is not hard at all. it depends on which girl-friend we are talking about, the ones for yankee (nigerian and akarta) cry reality-tv/crocodile tears, they like to play on guys' emotions and intelligence. for them i careless and show no emotions. if it a girl friend in nigeria, it is 70% more likely to be true tears, i will examine the facial expression to determine the facts, and if it is real, i do anything to make it up for her, anything.

@ SeanT21

i pray fervently that u are joking, that u didnt really mean what u actually put up here in the name of a post. so u want to shop every 2 weeks eh? where did u see that one, on E news!, VH1? abi u have allowed reality shows carry over ur reasoning? 9ja girls for this usa no go kill me. the poor boy works in SAM's club for crying out loud! he earns just $7:50/hr and u want him to take u shopping? are u serious or just going nuts? alot of people earn $30/hr and yet cling on to their paycheck for dear life because of the failing US economy, they rather save or invest in something that will better their lot and guarantee a future for them and u want to go shopping? pele, i pity u. if it is true that u just graduated from high school, why dont u channel ur energy toward learning a new craft/act/skill/trade or go to at least some college rather than stressing the poor boy's life. u are lucky he takes u to taco bell. please, dont keep him oooo, send me his fone number let me send him a beautiful nigerian chic that will be more grateful to the sincere values of her man. na yeye dey follow u so ooooo

gabrywyl:
its okay people. Gay or no Gay, theres nothing we can do about it. The church has been built, the gay people is being increased by its population around the globe. . . . Oh well, us saying in here will not make any differences.

we can burn the church, and send all the members to sharia court in zamfara

why we prefer white chicks? simple, we take the 11th commandment seriously, "thou shall avoid drama"

God please forgive us, i saw this video and my eyes almost popped out! this shows for a fact that the rapture will soon take place, Jesus is really coming soon. as for all of u claiming that there is nothing wrong with being gay, i sorry for u oooooo. please go and read the bible well and see what God hates. i keep wondering why gay folks always claim that it is inborn and not a choice. if God made u like that, please explain his issue against Sodom and Gomorrha. my hand no dey oooo

Mpele:
This has to go down as one of the funniest thing I've ever heard. How on earth can you really want to leave Britain and go to Nigeria. No offence to Nigeria but come on now. Maybe the woman is a fugitive. Is she really sane.

well she is perfectly sane, she is not going there to get a job, i believe she wanna invest in nigeria. there is nothing wrong with going to invest in nigeria as long as u know the consequences

Urchie:
some of the responses to this question are quite funny.
As if some did not read properly or they don't understand.

As a matter of fact an interview is not same as aptitude test. Sometimes people attend apt test when not invited (gate crashers). And they are the ones that cause the type of troubles that was witnessed during the customs recruitment exercise. But interview is more organized planed for and u too do plan for it.
In some c ases the interviewer calls in the interviewees one after the other holding the cvs.
SO its more of one on one thing, now tell me how good it is that someone called u in to have a chat with u and u just stand up to walk out meanwhile u were invited and u willingly came no one forced u.
However big u thing that your dream is what u do now and in the process of attaining it matters.
Its a big nonsense, snubbish to walk out on who you're to chat with.

Whatever it is that you're are asked, patience, calmness and maturity should be in place so u can sit tight and leave maybe never to rerurn again if u feel its not worth it

it is obvious that you haven't been called for many interviews. it not all job posting that u have to write a test. if u are applying for most entry level positions, yes u are likely to write a test, if u have gained lots of experience and u know ur worth, sister, at that point u r not likely to be called in for a test but an interview and the interview is more of a negotiation where both parties play their cards right in order to land a good deal. if ur present company pays u well and u have great benefits from them and another company tries to lure u away and have u for themselves but they fall short of ur expectations, u may make ur point clear during the interview but they may continue to try to make u see how good their offer is even though it falls short of ur present pay-rate, and they may promise u an increase in ur pay check down the road(which may be 5 years down the road, thats a vague statement), at that point u can excuse urself with a polite point, saying stuff like, i really must be on my way now sir/ma, i appreciate ur time and offer but i will pass on it, and then u leave the room with out letting them utter a word(if u r already pissed off). my point is, when u have gained experience, in most cases, both parties hold an ace and u have the right to use urs too. my present job, i got in 2005, and even though i was fresh from nigeria, having worked in nigeria for various companies, i kept a bold outlook to the whole interview process with the manager who happens to be the second from the GM, he had lots of questions and i gave him clear answers and to his surprise, i had tons of questions for him too, and i mean lots of questions, ranging from stuff like, if he likes his job, how long he had worked with the company and what is experience so far was, how long do employees stay in the job(this was to verify if employees like the place or they just hold the job hoping for some thing better in a short time), employee benefits, reviews by their cliente base etc, he was polite enough to answer all my questions and when he handed me over to the HR manager, he came back to tell me, " thank u for those great questions", the HR manager asked me what was that all about, i said we had a little chat . the company is worth something so do i, so if i felt that it is a waste of my time, i will politely excuse myself and leave. but like i said in my earlier post, u have to read the situation to make a meaningful judgment of what ur actions should be, not every company will accept u drilling them back with questions, u have to read and make a good assessment of where u are and what u intend to achieve. my friend, it is a game of chess, think before u act. that move can make or break u.

ijero:
I have just spent the last 10 minutes or so reading what I describe as wayward and irresponsible comments from people if not Nigerian but with Nigerian roots. I am a Nigerian and have lived in England over 10 years. In that time I have been granted indefinite leave, but I refuse to apply for a British passport. I have associated with many people from different walk of life, but I find my own people are the least patriotic. Some of you guys might as well cut all ties with Nigeria. Nigeria might be a long way from perfect, but it is our motherland. Show more respect to this our beautiful country.
My guy with the original message, I it would be a blessing to your wife and children if they can experience all that Nigeria has in abundance, I wish all the best with your future dealings with the embassy.

God bless Nigeria

Love your country people, irrespective of all its short comings

i honestly dont understand ur point. are u saying that if someone criticizes nigeria, it automatically means the person is unpatriotic? would u rather have a critic or someone that just pays lip service? for all who of u carrying the patriotic flag and have not contributed positively to nigeria, i dare say u r all just paying lip service. like the good old saying goes, action speaks louder than voice.

ivanX7:
when i worked in luth i saw foreign medical graduates from countries like brazil russia cuba then from eastern europe as well (these ones were so dull God knows what they teach them there) if you are in this category then you can come home but to do what?
few govt hospital positions (slightly ok pay)
and then the pittiance we are paid in private hospitals
every other colleague of ours thats young and new is on their way out of nigeria we would only come back when we are much much older and more experienced to get appointed to juicy consultant positions in the teaching hospitals , as well as establish private hospitals

and the ones who have trained in the UK and US would never i repeat never consider coming home now as well

men guy/girl its hard out here for doctors ooo not even to compare us with our junior brothers in banks and good firms
if its juju from your village pray against it oo

correct man

spine:
pretty sad that people hastily answer questions,
no substance,
wont you like to know what circumstance made him/her walk out?!
before you go on with the sarcasm on garri, being yar aduas child,and all that
please bear in mind that as you have silly interview candidates you could also have silly interviewers who are out to do nothing but waste people time,
walking out of an interview would definately not be proper in an idle interview situation.but what about a contrary situation?
they give you clear bull shit and you sit there and eat it?
well done o.

i did be long gone before they can say Bush

guys, the best pickup line is:

"ovularia, udi very similar! wey ur papa house make i go drop dowry"

try it, it works like magic

i will be very disappointed if the population of nigerians in the usa is just 1m. if u ever go to houston texas or atlanta georgia, they are crawling everywhere. go no go, we reach 2m, apart from those that have one parent that is nigerian

please can someone give me an update on this situation

Eziachi:
I don't know what you had before hitting the keyboard, but being patriotic doesn't mean being blind and dumber. There are two groups of Nigerians abroad, the first group is where you belong, comprising of our rogue politicians/their families/friends with our stolen wealth in their back pocket and a typical northerner semi illiterate that arrived to do training sponsored by their govt or foreign company and will go home to become a big man in his emirate after his training. Though abroad, they knew nothing about hardship to pay rent, legalise their stay or even the worry of what they eat because everything is all paid for.

The the other group are Nigerians mainly from the south, some of them with long chain of worthless degrees from Nigerian institutions, with no job prospects, no future of success without crime. If they lucky even to become a driver to an illiterate rogue politician, it's a priviledge to them, hence they will do anything to escape from Nigeria, anywhere to them is better. Some as we speak are starving in north African deserts, trying to escape Nigeria.
If by the grace of luck, they made it into a foreign country, they do not want to be as myopic patriotic as you are.

The reason you are in the USA for your so called training is because the knowledge you came to acquire is not available in Nigeria and were available the type of comapny that sent you to the US do not recognise them. In the course of your training, how many times did you turn up for class and there was no power supply? or got home in the night, turn you tap water to drink or have a shower and it's running dry without water? since you are comparing Nigeria now with New York.

There is serious crimes in New York, but the authorities do not leave citizens at the mercy of criminals. Can you dial 999 OR 911 in New York or any other US cities and you are ignored because the police gun has no bullet? Has the fire serviceS ever told you that their motors has broken down or the fire service turning up after two hours of your call but without water?

Now about your comparism of Gusau with California. I don't know where you got your thermometer or where it was made but lets assume that your bogus claims was right, it gots back to aminities again, no matter how hot or cold a place in the world is, it is the supply of water, electricity, gas that make it habitable, if California according to you is hotter than Gusau, they will hardly notice because they do not lack the power to use their air conditioner. When was the last time Gusau experience a 4 hours steady electricity? This is the kind of distortion you will be spreading at the end of your course instead of using what you had seen, heard to change things.

Finally about your leaving in credit nonsense. It shows your total lack of modern economic knowledge. God help Nigeria, that you will assume a position of authority like many other after sojourning in the US without learning anything and then assumed power in Nigeria. The credit is there to help people to do things they wouldn't have done without it, like starting a business without having to have a rich parents or relatives.

In your Nigeria, when you are poor, you have every chance to remain poor unless you do mago mago things to break from the chain of poverty. All good jobs in Nigeria belong to rich people and they will replace themselves with their children and friend when they are tired. Some of them even had 3-4 of such jobs while many graduates are roaming jobless. There are may Nigerians with good and sound entreprenuer might but has nothing to help them finance such ideas. In the US or other sane nations, if you have a good idea or good business plan, you can be financed by a bank through credit withot coming from a rich family and the interest on the borrowing is not in 2 digits as obtained in Nigeria.

As anybody who had borrowed money in Nigeria banks of their experiences? That is if you are willing to give the bank manager 10% of the money you are borrowing as his condition of giving you the money. But in the US and other countries, you don't need to know the bank manager, you can even apply and successfully get the fund you needed from you own bedroom with your PC.

Do not make asumptions based on those that abused credit cards and use it to buy any latest gadgets. If I can be able to buy something I needed (not wanted) urgently like medical bill, how useful can you say the availability of such credit is? And then pay it off at the end of the month, when your salary is paid straight into your bank account without any story that armed robbers has snatched you salary in cash as obtained always in Nigeria,
Get real my friend!!!!!!!!

God bless u plenty. i am half disappointed that he even went to the same university i went to, i feel intellectually cheap for that.

there is nothing wrong with walking out of an interview, it just depends, some interviews are a waste of ur time and the folks are jack asses, so walking out is appropriate, just make sure u have a good judgment of the situation b4 doing so.

[quote author=Gold*Finch link=topic=147429.msg2495344#msg2495344 date=1215806639]Go back to Nigeria after Medical school? [/quote]i am sorry, what did u say that i didnt hear (read) well. bros, have u ever carried out some kind of surgical operation with no NEPA? i had a friend that was put in that situation up in gombe. so think well before being all patriotic. there are tons of ways u could help nigeria with your skills without having to go live there. i will advice u to get your experience abroad and they when you're settled, u can open a clinic or some health care venture and help people. u can also work with doctors in nigeria carrying out researches. if na God say make u return, do am sharp sharp ooo, my hand no dey that one

which nairaland u dey talk abt? most girls for here na tufiakwa! why u think say dem dey fear put up there pics?

@ gabrywyl

the difference in ur pics(with makeup and without makeup) is the makeup. let me know if i am wrong.

@ port1976

to be honest, the reason why i havent replied u is that i don't want to go back and front arguing over these issues but let me just say these few points.
for starters, i am not Akolawole. secondly, i wish u read my post again and see if u can understand my point, i will greatly appreciate it. i still don't see your weather point but if it makes u happy, knock yourself out. Arizona is just about the only place i can think of that will have constant high temps that can compete with sokoto or zamfara. moreover, weather conditions don't really tell if a place is backward or progressive. if there is something i have learned in nigeria is that natural norms never work. i am a firm believer of "necessity is the mother of invention". in most part of the west, this statement is positively true but in nigeria, honestly, it doesnt hold. the california u complain about have adapted to responding to those fires with quick responses and so much tech that its not even funny. u may not appreciate it but let half of those wild fires happen in most cities in nigeria and last for days and let see the nigeria fire service respond to it, then lets see if u will still be willing to complain. moreover, alot of the fires in the states are caused by man. now why on earth should i check cnn for updates when i have NTA news to listen to, I'm just saying, and dude, u are at long beach, u should be the last person in the world to complain, u got great view and if you're into "lookonism" u got all those bikinis to see still u die but if you're God fearing, i recommend u rent your apartment in a church, california and florida beaches is really the WILD WILD WEST.

the other part of my post was reference to Akolawole not u port1976 and lastly i am not ijebu or yoruba for that matter(no offence to ijebu people or the yoruba nation), i wonder how u came to that conclusion

@ overdose
u want to know how china town came to be in lagos? if u remember during the abacha regime, lebanese, indians and chinese flood nigeria just because the west threaten various sanctions on nigeria and abacha let these folks in to annoy the west. remember the fake railway rebuilding project? and the IT and oil contracts given to the chinese with no merit for it. and if u know the history of the chinese, they never leave until they milk dry the land.

@ labo

thanks. i am happy that at least one person understands what i wrote.

to all,
i am feeling sleepy so i gotta hit the hay sack, its 2:32am, don't know if anything i wrote makes sense but i am sure there are tons of folks here that will put me straight. see y'll in the morning.

Good day guys, being outside Nigeria does not give you guys audacity to abuse Nigeria, the country that gives you sense of identity, what most of you guys are today is partly due to Nigeria nation. All what we take for granted in Nigeria, we all know how much they cost here in US i.e College education.

Am very proud to carry Green passport, anywhere here in US, as long i don't have anything to hide, am a good ambassador in conduct and behaviour and performance in my training.

Get it right am here in US for more than a year, sent here for for first class training by company i work for in Nigeria. My brothers Crime rate in whole Nigeria is small compared to what happened in only New york (US), UK South Africa etc.
They are alot of stuffs going on badly here compared to Nigeria. Child Kidnapping, serial killing, please watch trutv or MNSBC crime file for confirmation. etc.

The only place in Nigeria with the minimal problem is Lagos and Port-Harcourt, none of it is compared to serial killing by single culprit in US.

Yes, Nigeria has his own problem, but not that bad compared to other nations even in developed world, hopefully with our banks now stronger, with money to lend out, the economy will get out of wood.

To me America dream is a fake dream; you all live on credit, college on credit, house on credit, car on credit, vacation on credit, etc.

Military services for college education, global warming, am in California, California is hotter than Gusau in Zamfara or Madiguri (Borno state).

My brothers, you have right to reside anywhere in world that is conducive for your ambition and fulfillment of your dream, but condemn your country because of plate of porridge is abnormal and unafrican, it is against the norm and ethics of Africa.
There is Yoruba adage which says: You don't destroy the home because are leaving home for another town. ( Ma ba ede (home ) je nitorpe o nlo si ede (city in osun state)).

Best of luck guys

i don't know from which wood work u crawled out from but at least be truthful or hold some serious facts before u come out here talking. i am glad you're repping Nigeria in the right light in the USA but please your points are baseless and fictional. first of all, the only reason why u were sent for training to the USA is the fact that your company didnt see u get the same quality of training in nigeria, but that was/is made possible by the american dream, which by the way is not building a life on credit but being pragmatic, working hard and smart to build a life u want to life and sustain. i have heard of folks who earn just $30,000 per annum and yet was able to save and send their kid to college with out a loan or grant. fact is, they lived their lives within their means and invested their savings meaningfully, thats the american dream. the reason why americans are in credit problems is the very fact that they are gullible, very very gullible. they buy into just about anything that "looks" good, hook, line and sinker, so they the credit card companies and other vultures that call themselves a kind of service or the other take advantage of them. i am off for my vacation in 2wks and i am paying off my own money, that way i don't over spend and then pay later. i only use my credit card when i am sure i got the money to pay back in full every month, i have never been charged for any interest. my mama didnt give birth to no fool baby

as per crime, i don't know what scale u used to do your measurement or assessment but a country like nigeria where documentation is next to zero, u can't claim it has lesser crime than the USA. for one thing for sure, about 80% of the crime is probably not reported or properly documented. crime is extremely high in nigeria, if u want to know, let there be a car accident and u will see how people that come to rescue the victims steal from them. i got family in abuja and they are constantly complaining of the crime wave, the fact these things don't get on the news always don't mean they don't happen. i did my NYSC in ogun state and they are constantly kidding people for rituals especially non-natives. imagine NYSC officials telling us to be careful during our camp and watch where we go. Corpers were kidnapped the year before. we went for our endurance trek in the woods and we were stopped at one point by the military men with us because they got an intelligence report of some rituals going on, the officials went into a panic and some how found a way of escorting us back to camp with military presence to prevent losing more corpers again. more over during my stay in abeokuta, the alaka of egba land died and boy did hell break loose. lots of people were reported missing. we were told not to come out at certain times. things happened but no one wants to report it. i have countless examples of my experience in ogun, from egba lands to the ijebu lands and sagamu. thats just ogun alone. the east and south south is a whole didnt ball game. i can write a book of my experience in and around nigeria. what about the north were christians are killed for some stupid religious reasons. i usually call myself a true nigerian, i was born in lagos, early school days in PH, live in abuja, schooled in minna, served in ogun, visited numerous nigerian cities, been to enugu, kogi, ibadan, imeko, ilara, jos, kaduna, bida etc and i can tell u that crime in these places are not documented.

now i don't know where you're in california but please, california is no where close to zamfara in heat and temperature. please learn to use a thermometer and u will see. oh please, u should do the conversion to degree celsius, maybe that will erase your confusion. also learn to check on the global weather report and u will see that the difference in most times is 7up.

so after all these words, what do i think of nigeria, i just have one word, HOME, thats it, HOME, HOME, HOME. i love the country and i am a very proud nigerian anywhere i go, people i work with know me for that. so i say, God bless Nigeria.

@ Akolawole

please can u make a better contribution than always saying stuff like, "thank u my brother", or "abi" etc.

na2day which side u dey self, anyway thank God sey u get 2 palli so that mean say u sabi d koko, tell n allow them wey get only 1 struggle get d 2nd e fit mata 2mrw.

anyway residency allow u similar privileges a passport should only deffirency be na paper no bi palli

hey man, i am not against the sovereignty of nigeria, i am only saying even when u meet those requirements to obtain certain things(which we dont know if the british wife indeed meets them) there are tons of nigerian officials that take delight in giving ppl hell because of a little power they have; by the way, they do it more to nigerians than outsiders. as for those washing toilets like u said, most of them get to other countries illegally and they are doing that in hope to find a way to legalize themselves. for those that are taxi drivers, u may not believe this but they make more money than most nigerians working in nigeria, with that alone, i think they will take their chances(i am yet to mention NEPA, drinking water etc.) as for adebisi1, dude, i dont know what to tell u, u live in turkey, hard luck man but i rather live in a nigerian village than live in turkey, no offense.

for the rest of u, i love nigeria greatly but not for what it stands for 2day but for the people that live there that have changed my life, for the values i learnt, i have lived on both sides of the aisle so i am not like spoilt americans that cry for everything. what they americans and britons take for granted i appreciate because of what i have learned from nigeria but if as nigerians we do wrong and yes we do, i will not support it in anyway.

atutupoyo:
Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm, lets be careful what we say about Oyedepo(sorry don't know his prefix)

The sch is trying to produce graduates with good character,
I feel since is a Christan sch, it's meant to reform people, students that public (fed and states) schools can't handle, when people commit offends they are to forgive and show them the right way to behave not throw them to the wolves in the world. When they are thrown away from conventant where are they to go to?

The sch is producing some good graduate but I believe many of them are hypocrites, They are forced to go to church what happens when they come out and don't have any one to force them to go to church ?

Guys and gals are not to seen together except they are around class area or the chapel (if this true), how will they perform in their work place where they are expected to work with d opposite sex.

I feel as ADULTS they should be shown the way but allowed to move on their own, u can't spoon-feed an adult how do u expect him or her live in this harsh world?, these are the type that fall on rocky soil, they germinate but soon die because the environment is too harsh.
Thank You.

no offence but king david was God's anointed too but he messed up also like many of us do, but the difference between him and many nigerian pastors, is that he acknowledges when he is wrong and will make amends, God forbid that a nigerian pastor admits to his/her faults. if Covenant University was Jesus, Peter would have gotten a one way ticket to hell for denying him 3 times and folks like me wont have been given that unmerited favor of grace to be saved from sin. we want to train Godly folks to be a shinning example in our society today? do it with simplicity and mercy, fairness and not with high handedness, period!

nuclear ko, secular ni

well, i just got back home from church and boy was i glad i went. i am truly revived by his grace.
