Iberia express from Madrid to London didn't even serve anything for a 2 hour 30 minute flight, everything was for sale, damn not even water o, and the aircraft was all good and new, they serve this small food he no even happy and I paid £250 round trip from Madrid to London.

Chai..me too I want to experience the west and say stuff like I traveled from Dublin to Amsterdam and I paid £400. God na when I go enter the obods now?? Lol.

Man I won't lie to you.. The way this country is set up, your degrees may really not fetch you anything substantial in terms of cash. I would advise you to start the transport business and pend your HND for a while. Just my own suggestion sha.

eph12:
Which companies please?

Lol. There are lots of them here in Lagos but they are low-key and rarely put out adverts for jobs. They recruit based on referrals though. I can't drop names here.

eph12:
You can't be earning that amount and not have desirable skills. Unless your father owns the company you just can't. In Nigeria? How?

Lol. You must be new in Nigeria. There are people earning more and they do nothing. But in this guy's case, I think he has the certifications but not the actual on the job skills. That's his concern. I'm sure he works for a big company with lots of cash.

eph12:
The two bolded are very contradictory. So it seems you not saying the whole truth.

He is telling the truth. He went further to state that if he losses this job as an admin staff he might not have the requisite skills and competencies to get another (project mgt or core IT job) of similar pay or of a prospects to a higher pay (putting food on his table). You are welcome.

Freedom2016:
I bet she is an Afonja that thinks Igbos bleach like them. You can tell the guy is naturally light skinned!

Man grow up. It's almost 2017.

emicolsy:
Ogatboy gave the right information, if you can't use masterportal, try campusFrance website to check for schools that teaches in English. The French people are good but it's true about job, if you want to come to France to work, it's better you don't waste your money as it's not easy to get a job and most of the available jobs are for French speakers. I hope this helps.

Same story everywhere
No job. Thanks anyways.

Etfash:
In my opinion, people are people irrespective of their race, ethnic or, sometimes, religious inclinations. When people come up to speak ill of any tribe, I wonder. Usually, people that help us in our life journeys aren't from our families or ethnic groups. I am from the middle-belt, the Yoruba speaking part. My best friend in primary school was from Anambra, Nnewi to be precise. He was more than a brother to me. We lost touch when we graduated Primary school. Getting to High school, my best friends were Igbos.. infact, my best friend, who is also my best man, is from Delta state, Oshimili... My career mentor is Igbo from Abia and lastly, my wife, an Anambrarian. My in-laws take me as a son. The Igbos have been good to me and I guess it's also because I haven't been bad either. I didn't mention that my NYSC was also in the East.

Bottomline, guys, please let's embrace one another... No one made any contribution to determine his or her ethnic group. We can however decide to be whoever or whatever we want to be.

Man it's really tiring. I have tried to ask people what they gain in tribalism and always they don't even know what they are hating on. There are good and bad people in every tribe, race and religion and none is better than the other. There's too much energy wasted on hating someone Cos of his tribe but I see it displayed regularly on this forum. It's tiring and people need to grow up.

Alariwo2:
so Trump will stop EFCC from arresting a convict involved in electoral malpractice.
with koro, Aluko, Dasuki's evidences available
or you think Americans are as lawless as you are

I'm not surprised tho. like I said you know nothing and I don't see any bit of wisdom in you

What's your problem with Igbo people? Do they make you uneasy? Do they make you uncomfortable? Did an Igbo man snatch your babe in high school? I have noticed you for some time and you really hate the igbo tribe and I'm curious as to what your reasons may be. No pun intended. I come in peace.

GMAT is aptitude test during job /recruitment tins na

Oh that one? Lol. I thought it was for going to university abroad so I was thinking you paid to write them.

ednut1:

Wait a minute. You paid 10 times to write GMAT??

Built2last:
Let me educate some ignorant minds before you try these two and sentence them in your mind as always.

FX racketeering is done by all banks in Nigeria and CBN is the chief in this business.

Going by what they are charged for on deposits. We have the NFIU, Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit. All banks are to install this tracker on their system to notify EFCC of any amount exceeding 10, 000 USD.

Did Diamond bank install that on their system?
Did it notify EFCC?

Babatunde being a marketer I know goes out to bring in money for the bank.

It's not his duty to know how much a customer paid into that account. Arresting him now for being an account officer is bad on the part of EFCC.

EFCC should go after Diamond bank that accepted the money and not a bloody marketer.

I am sure when Tunde informed his boss that a million dollars has been brought in by one if his customers. Adamu. They must have celebrated him and called him a performer. Now things have gone sour and it's the officer managing the account you see EFCC harassing. .

I write this because many bank staff looking for daily bread are in EFCC net for simply being marketers.

I approach you to open account with the bank not me. You open with 30k. ..Two weeks after you deposit or wire 1 million dollars into the account. The officer who went to open account is pushed to face EFCC. Instead of the bank enjoying the float and interest on the account to face EFCC. They push the marketers to face the music.

Who broke the law quoted above? is it not the bank? This law is displayed boldly ib the banking hall of every bank. Why did Diamond bank accept the money in the first place? This is why I left banking

I read the story and I was still searching for what can actually be termed as "money laundering". This is just wretched journalism.
I would term these banks as callous if this is what they actually do. Hope the poor innocent man doesn't go behind bars. Shame on the opposing counsel for wanting to wrap this case up as soon as possible. Big shame. If only they can speedily go after the proper criminals (politicians) cos na for poor man body them dey sabi law.

lekibraky:
u are very correct that is why most nigerians are not applying its not straight forward we need people to help us out as i like france som much

He probably thought I was an empty head that's too lazy to use Google. Most of the schools in France have websites that aren't user friendly. The few one's I have seen that have correct sites are IESEG biz School, Grenoble, HEC biz School and INSEAD biz School but they are all top biz schools and are very expensive. So I saw where he mentioned that there are cheap schools and I politely asked him to mention just one and he replied in a degrading way. It's annoying.
If you have any questions then shoot at me, I connected with folks there and I could help you get your questions across but I got a not too interesting view of France from a French college at work and she said there aren't too many jobs especially for non nationals and the French people aren't very receptive to non whites and non French people. But hey the education is worth it and their degrees are top notch. One of the best in the world.

ogatboy:
Google is your friend.

A lot of schools in France have complicated websites especially the ones with multiple school mergers and I have checked out others and I was hoping you would mention another that i could also check but I guess you would die if you did mention one.

Ps-dont bother replying this.

Nairadays:
Don't know where she's from. All I know is that she married a son, the junior brother to our former foreign affairs minister under GEJ, his name was Ajumogobia. One light complexioned man like that.

Yes you are very correct. Thanks.

ogatboy:
. Send me a pm. Or mail me onozuemanthony@gmail.com

Chief. Please can you share at least one of the supposed cheap schools in France. I heard of a certain AIX in Marseilles.

Nairadays:
Indeed the Rich also cry. If they tell me that this woman can be brought to this level and openly ridiculed, I would have shrugged, just remember in anything you do karma will pay back.

This woman has no iota of regard to the poor and anyone at all. She was in a cloud of pride, very pompous.

A colleague went to her house to render service, when leaving, he thought he could join her ride to the high Court, and so he sat at the back with another of her staff, only for her to enter the car and said, "who are these monkeys?, do you think you can ride in the same car with me?"

If you're not in the high class, forget it. This woman will look down on you like filth. Now judgment beckons.

Is she from Abia and in anyway related to Noble Igwe's wife. Chioma Ofilli or something. Or does she have kids in the limelight?

soberdrunk:
colour me 'naive' or ignorant but this dude joining Mavin is like a 'demotion' in my eyes, i personally think he is bigger than that and may become irrelevant in Mavin. Inyaya if you dey fear say woman go ruin you, just join the "baby daddy" squad

Well I don't see it as a demotion. I think it's a good thing for one to be under a proper management and you can be rest assured that he's going to be Don Jazzy's favorite and star boy of the group. He would be taken care of and he would have time to properly focus on his music. When the time is right he can leave and set up his but for now he needs to get his music right.

blueseacats:
Let me ask you one question, when you go for job interviews, what do they try to find out ? Let me tell you what I think they are looking for . They are just trying to find out if you have enough skills to earn them money from which they will pay you from part of it.

Like you rightly mentioned, most Nigerian graduates lack skills that's why there is a lot of unemployment, because they don't even understand that what the employers a looking to buy is that supposed skill that is in their head, of which in case of most Nigerian graduates, there is none.

That's a whole new argument and you are right. As per your initial statement, skills doesn't create businesses alone. Money is more than a factor of production. You need money to execute. You need money to keep going (skills actually come into play here cos skills helps translate ideas to end results that leads to sales anf revenue). You need money to sustain a business. You need to have money to actually start. If people that had skills have enough money to execute their ideas they'ld leave whatever company they are now and chase their dreams but there's no money so they keep their day jobs. So when you make statements like use the skills you learnt in university to create jobs then you are not entirely correct cos Nigerian universities doesn't even prepare one for entrepreneurship unlike the foreign schools and that's solely the fault of a mediocre government. My guy your skills won't create jobs/businesses. You can feed with your skills but how do you grow when you can't scale or even start. Don't play yourself.

Originalsly:
@Op.... so what would be your take on Bill /Hillary Clinton?...Barack/Michelle Obama? @topic... I rank relationship above career. You can have a relationship while pursuing a career. What you are suggesting... wayyy too many of our women have been there done that.... make career their goal in life.....shutting out relationships.... then after accomplishing their goal.... start the hunt for a good husband. By that time... only a few are left ... and just a ehmmm... few of the few want to settle down. These single professional women would then be singing the usual theme songs..... Black men are afraid of educated Black women...... We go White because Black men are not up to par.... It is better to be single than be Married.... why would a woman want a man to disturb her life.... many hit songs they be singing. There is a time for everything. Make career your purpose in life.... later on in life when you have no one you can claim as your own... no children... no husband... nature would fill your heart with loneliness and then your eyes would clear to see career and material comforts are all mere vanity. My take.

Your take is well supported. All that black men ish they chant puts me to sleep. Every damn time.

Odani:
are graduate not driving Uber taxis is it not d same 50k salary they r on?

Drivers on Uber earn much more. You can't compare Uber to this.

blueseacats:
Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! Skills create jobs, money is only a factor of production.

My friend. Skills alone doesn't create jobs. Doesn't even account for 30% of job creation. Even if skills were to create jobs, a lot of people from the Nigerian educational system don't possess such skills. Or are you talking about sewing and baking cakes? What are you really talking about?

blueseacats:
Another alternative is for the graduates to create jobs for themselves with the skills they learned in the university.

Just hear yourself. So skills create jobs?

Lay on the ground and slowly roll into it.

Lol this is nothing to celebrate if we are being honest. Should be a normal thing.

omonnakoda:
How come when the Military left in 1999 they never generated more than 500 million Naira
Lagos today is different from Lagos of IBB or Abacha. Everything Lagos gets from Nigeria it repays with interest
The fact is since 1999 Lagos has been transformed by having its destiny in its own hands and that is what should happen every where else

So the question now is why isn't it happening every where else and what can be done in other places to replicate the Lagos model.

arresa:
Sadly for people like you, Lagos is shouldering the leadership failures in your states, towns and villages and your poor and jobless people can not put food on the table unless they enter the next bus heading to Lagos to add to the already congested situation in Lagos, to overstretch the already stretched infrastructure, health systems, roads, bridges, schools and and so on..

Or you are just too clueless to understand that Lagos can not keep up with the influx from all over Nigeria hence gridlocks, homelessness, lack of housing, not enough schools, not enough jobs and so on.


Lagos is spending billions every year catering to FG neglects like roads, bridges and so on when in fact the money should be going to housing for the poor, job creation and other alleviating programs that in return generates more more for Nigerians and Nigeria as a country.

More money for Lagos means more money for Nigeria.

More money for Nigeria means more FG projects and services in your towns amd villlages.

Beats me why you people reason so shallow and grossly backward to even hurt and deny yourself.


The Abuja clowns and mentally lazy fools including people like you think you are denying Lagos when in fact you are denying yourselves.

You are clearly a dunderhead. Every one knows why the whole of Nigeria is domiciled in Lagos. It dates back to history and it has continued till now and not necessarily cos other state governors are performing badly.

oduastates:
First of all, I wrote Nigeria off a long time ago.
Like my cousin said, you are beating a dead horse if you think the country will come good.
The problems the government is struggling to deal with is child's play compared to what is piling up.
The population growth alone is destined to make the country a basket case ,not to talk of desertification.

Those asking for special status are stupidd.
You are asking for special status out of your own money again?
When Awo was building industrial estates all over the place, the rest were conspiring on how to destroy him. That is when they weren't looting.
What they should be asking for is derivation or else.
If they disagree, get mathematicians to model a state domicile tax on corporate gross income on all companies in yorubaland. The companies can take as deductibles on their corporate tax to the federal government.
If the FG resist, the FG can go to court.
In the meantime, Ambode and other yoruba governors should move quick and clear all those illegal settlements along the coast and creeks of yorubaland.
The illegal settler are destroying the wildlife which are necessary for tourism in an independent yorubaland.
Not a day goes when an alligator, python etc is killed.
This guy broke it down

You have raised a very valid point. Only of they can adopt it. I love the tax analogy.

arresa:
The usual ipob shallow, ignorant, thoughtless and misguided nonsense..

You called that "ignorant" lool. Please let's hear your own side of the story.

webkwin:
No bro. Read the comments from d first page. I have no hatred whatsoever for Igbos. I have more Igbo friends in real life and they're really nice people so why would i hate them? It is the Igbos themselves that started the e-war on this thread, making comparisons and since i created this thread, i had to put things straitght. Those who have known me know i detest tribalism but they always spur the trouble on every thread that mentions Yorubas. I have family and friends from both tribes and we all get along well but that will probably never happen on NL.

I am igbo and I have Yoruba friends as well. My best friend is a Yoruba guy and we have known each other for 10 years. I have dated Yoruba girls as well and grew up with them but I can't come on nairaland and get riled up becos some dimwits are always screaming "afonja and yeast or Igbo or whatever those lowlifes exchange here for banter". I can't let it get to me. I don't even bother.i just read the news and move to another thread so you shouldnt let what people do here affect you.
Im not looking to do this who's prettier argument cos I came in here to see pictures of beautiful Yoruba ladies and have fun. No beef no bad blood. Anyways its cool. Apologies for any misconceptions. Cheers.

webkwin:
No u sound pained else you wouldn't be on this thread trying so hard to promote ur women. But it's something I've observed you all do: putting others down to make u feel good. #Nobeef Have a great day.

I haven't promoted anything on this thread. You are the one screaming Igbo girls all over your posts and this thread is not even about igbo girls. You are the one talking from all the sides of your mouth. You are the one that said Igbo girls are not in top 5 in Nigeria. Im still amazed and you my friend are the one putting Igbo girls down to make yourself feel better.
I don't stand to gain anything from who's finer and who's not cos life is bigger than that but I just hate lies mixed with hatred and it's showing from all angles. Get something sweet to eat today, it would help you.

webkwin:
I never said they aren't pretty. Go all the way up and read my comments. I only debunked the sham that they're prettier than Yoruba women. As for top 5, are you seriously gonna place them above urhobo, edo and hausa girls or even Fulanis? No bad blood, i stick up for Igbos when people are mean to them (if u followed my prev. acc, u'd have know ) but the truth is the truth. Ciao!

"I stick up for Igbos when people are mean to them" - first I think you should shove this opinion down your ass.
