Seun's official release on Nl's recent outage and data loss is a load of horsesh*t IMHO
Even green horns in computing know that your data is your lifeblood , talk less of a Seun who has spent years in computing coming up with tales by moonlight excuses of the hosting company handling Nairaland's traffic having their data servers hacked
Anyone learning Database 101 knows you store your data off-site and backups in different places
Unless he's wanting us to tag him a an incompetent IT professional
He could feed the gullible with such horsesh*t but not those who know how binary numbers stack up
And to think conversations on the outage have been in the site's back pages and not given prominence
Hmnn!
I always reserve my choice words and actions for when I visualize Janus faced dudes in person

Here the circus goes again
So it is only African nations that ALLEGEDLY fix matches
Since Der Spigel magazine had this info before hand, why didn't they blow the whistle then prior to this whole charade?!
Lubbish!

Mods, please move this thread to a more appropriate part of the forum as its not a political thread.
Also the nuggets here is deserving of front page status
Thank you

Saucy Dolph: Abeg I don't know if this is a stupid question oooo . Can Someone coming to UK carry freezed cooked soup in a bowl and won't have any problem @ the airport?

Na so you like your male soup reach?!
Bone that thing jo!
Enter market for Manchy and cook better soup my sister

Nigeria is not just messed up
Nigeria is a big ongoing fraud
You won't see the pro-government online e-rats on this thread, I can bet my last £ note on that
It really is crazy reading and seeing this open fraudulent acts every day
Why this thread will not make FP beats me hollow too

I'm sorry if I sound impudent, but is this the rates of the streets i.e. black market?
This is because the black market rate is almost a mirror copy of the real rate given you by the banks
Heck even some banks have an in house 'Aboki' for their customers who require foreign exchange

The chicken has now come to roost with Stella's 'University of Toronto' degree especially as PUNCH didn't make this a basis to remove her
Many Nigerian polithiefcians hold such degrees no doubt but it Stella who has been found out this time
Ebele Jonathan need not be a rocket scientist to realise the more he keeps her, the more he damages his already slippery hold of whatever little [if any] moral authority he wields
There are other ways of compensating her for her loyalty to him [another anomaly in African politics where office holders are loyal to a person and not the state] but keeping her in office is not one of them
I wish him Goodluck in whatever decision he takes

So spot on
If we can truly pull through this year as a nation unscathed

royalsweetness: . After you vilely advised her and she used your vile words back at you. It's still paining him sha. .

Stop stalking me
If telling you the truth that giving a complete stranger over a million naira to help you pay your tuition initial deposit was outright dumb , then I wonder how you reason
Just keep your inane ideas about life to yourself and live however you want
That is the problem with Africa, the justification of stupidity in the face of superior logic
This is why we currently have people from the Niger Delta and South East of Nigeria advocating another tenure for the current president who clearly lacks the capacity to govern, intellect to reason and ability to lead effectively
Like I said before, stop stalking me
You'll need all the time to excel over in Aberdeen provided you make good use of it

I got my Tier 4 entry clearance in the past year
Years of wishing and praying finally became reality

I thank God for that
I really do

@ op, you mean you Biafrans cannot buy decent camera phones or digital cameras to snap decent pictures of your 'burial celebration'?

There is more that meets the eye in this abduction
A business deal gone wrong?
Someone seeking vengeance?
May God protect him and his children however, this shows the vulnerability of Nigerian neighbourhoods
No security whatsoever
Shame

[size=16pt]UPDATE: Just saw this 'pastor' on channels TV now
He and his family were shown before pressmen as been currency counterfeiters
BLAWDY CRIMINAL
Next thing is he started preaching it was the devil who pushed him to it
That even Jesus was betrayed by Judas and Peter
He was even prostrating
Can you beat that?[/size]

Don Oms: lol... Actually, me I'm no bookwarm o. Academics does not shake me o, when I'm no Einstein. I have been very regular on the other thread (Visa application) trying to help others too, but I don't post on this thread though I visit it regularly too.
As for the cold, na indoors things o. But honestly, it's not that cold yet. From the gists I've been told, this ain't no cold until January perhaps. Coincidentally, it'll be my exams in January.... I know God exists .
Don't mind the rate jare. God is bigger than Mr Exchange Rate!

I do see your footprint on the visa application thread as you said
Was a regular there some time back till one intending applicant vilely objected to my pointing the extent of her foolishness in some of her actions and inactions
The dudes on this thread seem more reasonable, so I regularly post here now
I heard too have learnt about the cold been more intense in January
But I've reasonably coped so far till now and regardless of what January brings, we go overcome
As per the exchange rate, abeg leave God out of the ineptitude of our economic planners
I just know that if my money runs out,Mama Charles should get ready to issue me interest free monetary handouts

Saucy Dolph: Hey everyone. Good day. Please I need your suggestion and help. I want to book a hotel in Manchester. I guess some of you must have done that before coming to UK.I want to book it along Oxford road, Manchester or anyone close to University of Manchester. Please what are the criteria to look for when booking a room and if anybody knows any good one around, please suggest. Want to book it for May(14th-30th).
Really appreciate your help.
Thanks

Why you want to book a hotel for that long [over 2 weeks] beats me?
You must be in the $$$$$ then seeing a week at an 'ordinary' Bread and Breakfast can set you back by 300 - 400 quid
Your Uni should have a list of recommended hotels you could pick from, do find out
Hotels near Universities are normally more pricey
UK has a good road network thus taxis and buses would help in transit
Have a look at http://www.laterooms.com/ and http://www.hostelworld.com/ if your uni can't help out

Omooba77: Just liked GEJ dey surprise all with projects like Lagos-Ibadan expressway.............

Please I take God beg you
If na play stop am
No bring bad vibes to Arsenal through the name wey you mention
Light dey different from darkness

tdayof: link to ukba website?

There's something called a search engine
I believe you know what it is
However, seems you are looking for the accredited institutions list
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/employersandsponsors/pointsbasedsystem/registerofsponsorseducation
Look to the highly trusted sponsors
Cheers

mrkossy: Don't worry bout the white food as you will be able to put up with any shit! You are a Nigerian and what we do is survive in any condition weather hood or bad. We live against all odds, personally i don't think you should worry about the food just get your entry clearance first.
Re to the school fees you will have to check with the school as school fees differs

Hope you will be able to rehash your 'survive in any condition weather hood or bad' line after 2 straight weeks on strictly British cuisine
Wish the best though

boko are rams: But if buhari sends him a cow, he will collect. I stopped listening to his preaching dat u used to love so much wen i realised dat he has stopped preaching d goodnews but now preaches bitterness and hatred. He has nw become a toy in d hands of polititians. I think he is very confused nw. Pls lets pray for our dear pastor

So because it only GEJ El Rufai mentioned, his NL robots have come out to defend their pay
Yet he mentioned Ibikunle Amosun too as sending him a cow along with the president before saying it was not cows he needs but good governance for Nigerians everywhere
What is bad in that request?
SMH

torhuke: Wetyn we no go hear? These mofos will go any length to bring geg down and publicise dem selves as the ediots that they are but so far so good, GEJ is still gallant.

And what is wrong it Bakare saying instead of giving him a cow, give Nigerians good governance?
So demand for good governance is what brought about your name calling

bastrin: He seeks cheap publicity..

Who seeks publicity?
Was it not GEJ who seeks such?
And what is wrong it Bakare saying instead of giving him a cow, give Nigerians good governance?
The way you laptop robots think sef
Oh, I forgot robots have no brains

lari03: then never blow....... Top of the table on January 1st

Who is the boss?[/quote]You forgot to add that Liverpool dropped points when they met Newcastle too

mrkossy: i think you are clearly mistaking me with someone else if you read very well you will see that i was just replying someone that says he wont spend one extra day in UK.

I'm not mistaking you for bunburized
However if you understood very well the logic of your reply to her, I merely extended my well wishes to you too
Datz all

Hmnn!

Additionally, one of the sources at the Presidency told SaharaReporters that, although Mr. Sanusi's allegations were substantially accurate, the CBN governor was forced to back down from the more damaging aspects of his claims after the president's associates threatened to make an issue of his reckless spending and philandering.

So whether Sanusi is been forced to retire early or not, his allegations are SUBSTANTIALLY ACCURATE yet things continue as normal in Nigeria
For those saying Sanusi should not have leaked the letter, I do not agree due to the MASSIVE FRAUD been perpetuated under Ebele Jonathan who folds his hands akimbo and looks the other way
Do you know how much is $50 billion or even this new figure of $10.8 billion?
BTW Sanusi had written this letter as at early September yet the Presidency had not deemed it fit to act or pretend to act till it became public knowledge in mid December
No matter how damaging it might have been to the presidency, how come they never made to act till it became public knowledge ?
Leave story jo!

mukykaffe: guys pls is there any cash that the school will offer me on arrival? cos dere s refundable fees in my tuition fee.

Most likely, it will be deducted from your tution

roblance: Yeah, just saw most tuitions are well above 10000pounds....

Have a look at Sunderland

mrkossy: that's a very good idea at least if Nigeria can get more students like you who are willing to return home after studies i think in the next coming 8-10 years Nigeria will be full of great things..

I wish I could be like you chaps
However, Nigeria -the way she currently is- is a killer and aborter of dreams
I was once like you at the start of the millennium but the reality on ground points to gloomier days ahead
Wish you well though

mukykaffe: good day to ya all. pls my question goes like this do uk embassy accept a pounds account.

I believe you mean a domiciliary account as Justwise asked
I recall a chap during the Sept/Oct school session who said he used such and got his Tier 4 entry
Howevr your questions are better answered here https://www.nairaland.com/826936/uk-student-visa-tier-4

justwise: If you are a lively character you find fun in a boring city, there are far too many to do as a student to keep you busy year round.
Leave your comfort zone!!!! be flexible, you don't have to hang around Nigerians, eat Nigerian food, attend Nigerian church and party with Nigerians to feel at home here. Volunteer, join social group... in the UK if you kept yourself to yourself they will leave you for yourself.

Oga Justy, I agree with most of the above and even am fine tuning the process of volunteering
While I may not have mentioned it, it was Nigerians [esp fresh out of Naija] I alluding to in my 'green snake under the green grass' quote earlier
But biko, I don't have to eat Nigerian food ke!
Apart from bread and toast which I find passable, I have not had pleasurable moments with British cuisine
I still recall the 'horror' of my first days here and the many meals I had to thrash because it just did not flow
So please recommend and let us try it out

SupermodelVicky: I myself was routing 4USA/Canada 4my Msc but my peeps want us 2b 2geda 4moral support&sh*it lik I need a baby sitter.

Don't get all pumped and puffed up wanting to live and study apart from your sibling
This land is damn LONELY and understanding the landscape takes a while
You just do not realise how precious it is to have someone who speaks your language ,understands your mindset, is not trying to impress you nor a new friend who is really a green snake under the green grass
You will appreciate their decision with time trust me

[quote author=Abu-Maryam]you have said it all, see another Wahala he substituted Oziil for Flamini, what a heck? Arsen Wenger must be suffering from SENILE[/quote]No that is a good decision because this game is won and lost already [except Arsenal self implode]
Ozil and Giroud need rest
They've been two of our mosty effective players and have played every game of the season except vs Hull which Giroud on the bench
If only Bendtner played with his feet more than his mouth making wild assumptions, maybe he would be a more than able deputy to Giroud
However now that Poldi is back, he should help take some pressure away from Giroud who has been looking for someone to help finish his hold up play
Recall Giroud gave Poldi his assist
Giroud is Arsenal's top striker but he's more of a team player and not like a out and out finisher like Van Persie or CR7 or Luiz Suarez or Gonzalo Higuain or Aguero

AW must take some blame for Arsenal’s poor form of late
His tactical approach to matches must sometimes be called into question
Poldoski has definitely changed the complexion of this game
And his entry was rather fortuitous as Ramsey's injury forced this change
While it is true he's just back from injury, he's been on the bench for the past 2 games
Awwwh, he just scored!
Phuck Arsene mehn!
Phuck him!

bunburized: My Dad just requested for the list of items I will need with respect to my trip to the UK so he can "bless" me. I told him after the Xmas.
Please I need the assistance of those who have gone through same process to know exactly what should be included in such a list.
The list should include what I need here in Nigeria before I leave and also what I will need in the UK.
My destination is Manchester/Salford.
Thanks in advance for all your inputs.

List ke?!
You must still be a daddy's girl O!
You need just 3 things in the UK
1] Money!
2] Money!!
3] Money!!!
Well, maybe the Naija sisters can help you out in this your list request
But really what you need IMHO is readily available funds to live without hassle
Can you dad release all or most of your living expenses to you at once?
