Please, I need ideas on how much standard chartered bank pays its entry level staff. Standardlanders, kindly assist.

More pics

Check out these cute, creative bank- themed pre-wedding pics of two nairalanders who are set to say their vows soonest. These erstwhile colleagues turned couple actually worked together in the same office a couple of years ago; one thing led to another and now, here we are....

Basic: He was right, and you're ignorant. To know the message of Islaam, don't look at the Muslims or hear from the media. Look straight into the holy sources, and you'll see the truth for yourself.
Shun bias, prejudice, and stereotypes!

I looked into the source and saw 'allow not the infidel to live'. Didn't sound like peace to me.Sure it does to you. I think its you who's ignorant. You probably don't know what you are into.

taharqa: When some of us were saying these same stuff here, some GOONS here would be spitting Thrash- the ONLY thing they know how to do.

I have ALWAYS asked on this forum what area has deteriorated since GEJ took over (apart from Security, perhaps- which is unfortunate by the way). Every index indicate some level of PROGRESS on all other ares/sectors- Rails, Power, Roads, Cost of Governance, Elections, Inland ports, Transparency in Government, Airports, Seaports, Education etc etc; some of these areas may admittedly not be fast enough (like Education) and we CERTAINLY have not even gotten close to where we ought to be as a nation in each of these areas- BUT there is PROGRESS, and afterall, an Admin CANNOT be expected to clear the INCREDIBLE MESS which have been ACCUMULATING for some Decades and which it met, in less than 3 years; BUT the point is that PROGRESS is clearly been made in MOST of these areas.

- Nigeria is presently undertaking what have been described as the 'largest Privatization and Reforms in the Power Sector in the world', a relatively Transparent process that is in its concluding stages; as well as building almost 500 Power related projects (in Generation, Transmission, Distribution) SIMULTANEOUSLY, as well as the associated Gas infrastructure;

- In less than 3 years, Nigeria is Resuscitating 3000kms of its old Railways system (Lagos-Kano, PH-Maiduguri and their may associated Spur Lines) which had been deteriorating since the 1980s and which was virtually DEAD for about 10-15 years, as well as building new Standard Lines in pats of the country (by both the FG and some State Govts like Lagos);

- Nigeria is almost SIMULTANEOUSLY Remodeling/Reconstructing its entire Decrepit Domestic Airports, building new Cargo terminals and on the verge of building 5 new Standard International Terminals; just as it is significantly upgrading Airport Related facilities, especially in terms of safety (Total Radar Cover, VHF Communication Systems, Dopplar Weather Systems, Alternative Power Supply System etc);

- Nigeria is fixing its key FEDERAL Roads at a pace not seen in years, with significant improvements already felt on some of these key roads;

- Nigeria is improving Services in Older Seaports as Private Concessioning of the ports deepen and the Time to Clear Goods in those ports (and hence Demorrage Costs) significantly reduces; just as 4 Inland Water ports are SIMULTANEOUSLY been built in the country, etc etc.

Investors know of some of these Infrastructure upgrades and many more (some of them ongoing); they know of the improved FISCAL environment been midwifed by people like Okonjo-Iweala, Sanusi and Aganga as they article also indicates. They know of the opportunities cropping up in the Agriculture sector cos of the REVOLUTION in that sector been midwifed by another Reformist, current Agric Minister (and personally, the best in the Cabinet) Dr Adesina, and many other areas opening up like Power, COnsumer Goods Industry, Manufacturing, Mining etc. In fact, they know that Nigeria's Infrastructural inadequacies are avenues for massive investments and profits, coupled with the large and Dynamic population of Nigeria- an investor, esp in Africa, would be 'Mad' not to seriously look towards Nigeria.

Those ENEMIES OF NIGERIA who have chosen to make the Govt of GEJ 'ungovernable' Or create that IMPRESSION, whether through Boko Haram Bombings or through a Shameless and unimaginable Media PROPAGANDA, are FAILING and would continue to FAIL.

God bless the President and his team; and God bless this our GREAT country, NIGERIA. May it continue to SOAR HIGHER, and fulfill that GREAT Promise it always was, in our Life time. AMEN.

Story, story, stooory! There goes another sycophant. Beautiful figures and indices. Mouth watering projects, Grand restructing,world class privatisation, ports, railway(when Maina is cruising their Pension) Aviation(when DANA flies with inpunity)Transparency (When the only Oil marketer being prosecuted is Farouk)....... We've gone over these stories like a thousand times. FG to spend 100bn on XYZ, FG to construct a bridge accross the Atlantic....

The funny thing is, the only thing that turns out transformed is the bank accounts of our dear Ogas @ the top.You can be sure every dime earmarked for the beautiful picture painted by my dear comrade will be spent, then we will be left wondering if the projects were designed to be invisible.

Results speak for themselves! If you are in Lagos, you will KNOW that Fashola is working, Rochas is shining so bright that GEJ's EFFC has resorted to blackmail.That is what we are talking about! When GEJ starts getting it right, we will all know. Until then, Please don't confuse us with figures, percentages and beautiful projects 'at the verge of beeing executed'.

We have been at the verge for a very long time in case you haven't noticed. Our lives have been very beautiful on those pages for too long. We need to live in those Ivory towers and when we start moving in, we can talk about progress not before ever there is a stone breaking.

God bless Nigeria.

I read Things fall apart as a child. I also read one of Achebe's letters rejecting a national honors award.Don't really know a lot more about him, but I remeber his specific reference to his home state in his letter and his overall sentiment did not betray a belief in this entity called Nigeria.He may not have been a patriot on a national scale but his political convictions aside, we cannot deny the fact that his literary exploits made Africa and more remotely, Nigeria proud. Though he may prefer to be remembered as a Biafran Hero, he will go down in history as one of Afica's greatest writers and we are proud he is a
Nigerian. Finally brethren (as the Apostle Paul would say),' whether out of jealousy or sincerity, the gospel is preached and for this we should be glad'. May his soul rest in peace.
