LOl, your comment cracked me up and even though you sound like a hater,i understand what you are saying. to think it took them 2 years to assemble that and it is the most celebrated project makes you weep for nigerian's education system. Here is a car built by Australian university students. This car , the electric Sunswift eVe set a new world record for fastest average speed—more than 60mph—over 500 kilometers (310 miles) on a single battery charge.

HealthRe: Nigerian Girl Dies In Thailand After Buttock Surgery Fails by ochallo: 4:45pm On Oct 30, 2014
People can decide to do what ever they like with their body. It is their body, it;s not going to heaven or hell, it's going into the soil. However, if you want to get surgery, Thailand is a place you don't go to, or go online and just look up a doctor and butt implants are so 2010. The Brazilian butt where fat is transferred from parts of your body into your butt is the best. Even if the implants are successful, sitting might not be comfortable just look at nicki trying to sit on her implants.

EducationRe: Should I Go For Nysc Now With A 2.2 Or Drop Some Courses And Rewrite For A 2.1 by ochallo: 8:10pm On Sep 17, 2014
These are the pros of having a 2.1
1. You would be invited for more tests and interviews for job employment since some companies don't even ask 2.2 to apply.
2. It would help in your postgraduate admission abroad. Some very reputable universities abroad always request for a 70% grade from graduates coming from developing countries.


Now that said, a lot of success in life has to do with what you can do and the skills you have. There are 2.1 graduates that are secondary school teachers and when i graduated some 2.2 graduates got good jobs before 2.1 graduates in my set. I don't think there is anybody who is not gainfully employed now or suffering that would say, i would have done better if i had a 2.1. Most of our institutions don't teach you anything. I don't know what your field of study is, but if it is in Engineering and computer science, i would advise you to go for a technical training abroad instead, where you can really get skills that would overshadow what ever grade you have. But if it's in the arts or commercial then maybe stay, for accounting , passing certifications would be much more important, if you have a CFA, no one would look at your 2.2 or even third class. But don't bother yourself about NYSC, it is mostly a waste of time, when you do it doesn't matter whether with your mates or not, it is what you have with you that matters, if you have certain skills some companies would even work your NYSC for you.

Take Care.

All these stupid APC e diots on this thread are sickening. How long does it take to get water purify it , lay pipes and send it to homes, certainly not 6 years in a water logged place like Lagos. Imagine the deception, this project is projected to be completed by 2020 but these people didn't put into consideration that the water demand in 2014 would not be the same in 2020 and even if this project is completed , it would not be adequate for 2020.

optimumprimus: if she's from Akwa Ibom ,why is her name Iheoma Nnadi instead of Ekaette edet okon? or Mercy Elijah,or Glory Hezekiah, or Faith Samuel ,or Joy Abraham , or Naomi Jacob,or Peace Joseph grin
she is not from akwa ibom, they are not from the states they represent, girls pick up forms, fill and register for the competition, they are then shared into states, nobody is from any state they are representing. You should know that already, for that to happen, they would have to organise local competitions in each state to find a representative.

Foreign AffairsRe: Malawi Officially Suspends Anti-homosexuality Laws. by ochallo: 8:06am On Jul 17, 2014
for those of you saying homosexuality is imported and is not african, you can simply educate yourself by reading the wikipedia page on homosexuality and destroy the ignorance that is synonymous to africans.

Africa
The first record of possible homosexual couple in history is commonly regarded as Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum, an ancient Egyptian male couple, who lived around 2400 BCE. The pair are portrayed in a nose-kissing position, the most intimate pose in Egyptian art, surrounded by what appear to be their heirs. Anthropologists Stephen Murray and Will Roscoe reported that women in Lesotho engaged in socially sanctioned "long term, erotic relationships" called motsoalle.[53] E. E. Evans-Pritchard also recorded that male Azande warriors in the northern Congo routinely took on young male lovers between the ages of twelve and twenty, who helped with household tasks and participated in intercrural sex with their older husbands.[54]

Christianity EtcRe: Christmas Is Idolatrous And Unscriptural - Pastor Kumuyi by ochallo: 2:24pm On Dec 23, 2013
I heard this on the radio and I was taken aback . Nigerian Christianity is really turning into something else, we act like Nigerians are the ones who are going to be in heaven alone, but there wold be a great surprise. Yes we don,t know exactly when Jesus was born but Christmas remains the greatest evangelism for christ. Recently I was with Indians who knew nothing about Christianity but they knew about Christmas and the love and joy it brings and wanted to share in it. The responsibility of Christians is to ensure that people don't forget the real meaning of Christmas.
FamilyRe: Should She Travel To Italy? by ochallo: 5:50am On Dec 21, 2013
Please poster I am begging you on my knees, do not let her go to Italy for anything. The same story was told to my cousin at the age of 17, she became a full time prostitute for 2 years, she escaped from her boss, the second year and tried to raise money herself by prostituting again, she raised almost 6 million naria equivalent but she lost all the money when she was picked and deported. She came back to Nigeria and was a different person entirely. It,'s been over 10 years now, she has since gone back to Russia and I can bet she is not doing anything apart from the same prostitution. The family tried to rehabilitate her when she came but she was already damaged beyond repair. It saddens me that a girl that we grew up together ,playing during Christmas and Easter is now an international LovePeddler. Please I beg you again, nobody braids hair in Italy, Europeans do not braid their hair. So say no you would have saved her life.

CareerRe: Farming Or Return To His 50k Per Month Job? by ochallo: 6:10pm On Dec 18, 2013
i believe the only reason you were suspended is for you to go out and find your life calling. What you are experiencing now is the fear of the future and uncertainty at the beginning of a business and it is very normal. GO ahead head on with your business, if you think you may be cash strapped, then plan how long you are going to spend with the 50k job, still trying to ensure that you do not spend a day more ( you can even write your resignation letter and date it) and do not get into any trouble. Keep all your business dealings away from your boss and collegues. God would help you

TravelRe: Ideas To Study In Turkey. by ochallo: 9:18am On Dec 17, 2013
zabyx: 1. Language barrier isn't all that bad.
Turkish is actually a relatively easy language to learn. Also, you can learn another language and experience another culture in the process.

2. Turkish education is much less expensive than one in Britain or Australia or North America. It's much safer and pleasant than crime-ridden South Africa.

3. A diploma from an accredited Turkish institution, unlike a Ghanaian one, is widely accepted in the West, and by extension, in Nigeria.
1. As a student, you would be doing yourself a lot of disservice trying to learn another language while studying. Talking from experience, it is not a good idea.

2. What are the chances of getting into an accredited turkish institution and who accepts turkish certificates in the west, would your certificate be written in English or in Turkish.

These weak points are the exact points that would take someone who has not sat down to weigh his options well and ask the right questions out of his country. What exactly are you pursuing and where do you hope to work? We african youths just do things with blind faith and only learn from bad experiences. I am just letting you look at the whole thing from a different angle which you wouldn't have on a normal day.

If you want to learn another language learn madarin chinese, spanish, Arabic or French. Those are languages that can take you over the world, certainly not turkish.

deeptesting: For those men who are long married,you will understand that women can really make you go mad..Don`t get me wrong i don`t beat my wife,nor threaten her with a loaded gun which i don`t even possess but let truth be said,women sometimes are really annoying.However,i will quietly divorce my wife rather than this public ridicule.
This is the most misogynistic statement ever, i can tell you are just a product of the african environment. Everybody can be annoying, the mere fact that you now put women in a different bracket means you are already gender biased. Human beings can be annoying male or female, but most people have double standards for annoying men and annoying women because of a misogynistic society.
TravelRe: Ideas To Study In Turkey. by ochallo:
It still really bothers me why anyone would want to go and study in a non-english speaking country with a different culture. WHere it would be difficult to communicate with cab drivers, tomato sellers pretty much everybody without a sophisticated education. Even India that claims to be an english speaking country is plagued with that nasty sounding language called Hindi (especially in the north), i can only imagine what a country that doesn't speak english at all would be like.Even the so called teachers in this turkish universities would not be fluent in English and would speak it breaking all the laws of syntax and grammar till it becomes totally meaningless. Nigerians would just pack their things and just go anywhere. If you must travel, go to Ghana, south africa.
