APC will end up in a dilemma in Kogi. On one hand, Yeye Bello is a failed governor and doesn't deserve the APC ticket for reelection. On the other hand, Yeye Bello delivered election victory for APC in almost all Kogi elections conducted since he became governor. As for Bayelsa I'm always neutral in their guber elections because the state always produces two major yeye candidates. I can't even think of any quality leader that has ever come out of Bayelsa. So bad that Buhari had to end up with Heineken Lopobiri as Minister since each state must get a slot. |
This Nairaland is really a funny platform to score cheap political points. ![]() One wailer or hailer goes to copy news from another media company, but changes the headlines to make himself happy and create room for wailing or hailing. For example, this headline from Bloomberg below https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-04-07/nigeria-needs-economic-growth-in-buhari-s-second-term On Nairaland becomes "Buhari's last 4 years was discouraging" ![]() |
DexterousOne:Ahhh! So Nairalanders don sabi me already ![]() Me wey no dey Nigeria ![]() |
Jennypharb1: amaya21:Thanks guys. ![]() |
jadief:No, no relatives in Alberta or anywhere in Canada. I just took some time to read about it on their site. Only Alberta can select one to apply for their PNP based on one's eligibility from what I've seen. And it's free. I'm applying |
amaya21:For real? I noticed that I just have to send my application via courier but I didn't think it's totally free to get the PNP. I was thinking I'll have to pay eventually after my application is processed and perhaps granted. Modified: Amaya21, I just read through the AINP website and it's free. I'm going to apply. ![]() |
jadief:I can't remember the code.....Mechanical Engineer with some years of oilfield experience. |
tolfa:I would think so too. Thanks |
Hi guys, I got an email earlier in the week from Alberta Province that I have been selected to apply for their PNP based on my suitable profile. I didn't apply for it. I'm in the pool with 433 and will upgrade to 473 this summer. I'm planning to ignore it because of the high cost, long waiting time and provincial restriction of PNP. I just thought I bring it here for inputs in case there might be any reason to regret ignoring this offer in the future. |
The NJC cannot reward corrupt Judges who have the power of life and death with simple retirement plus full benefits. This only encourages more corruption in the Judiciary. After his resignation, PMB must ensure that Onnoghen or any other Judge found to be corrupt must face the full wrath of the law. Justice must be seen to have been served if our democracy must grow beyond individuals. |
To whom it may concern in the Presidency: Dambazzau should go for failing to carry out any reforms at all in his ministry - Police, Immigration, Customs, etc. are still as corrupt and irresponsible as before, if not worse. ![]() Udo Udoma should go for consistently submitting the budgets late. He saw Saraki delaying till May to pass budget and he kept submitting it late in December. ![]() Akpabio should replace him and be given a ministerial post that deals with infrastructure. Ambo what Abeg, Ambode should carry his disrespect for others, inability to carry people along and failure to follow well laid down blueprint..back to Epe. |
Lentilize:Ok. Vote for God then ![]() |
unclesuruoffi:Seun's Nairaland has become notorious for pushing fake news and speculations to frontpage such that I have to crosscheck what I read elsewhere. I knew it was fake news the same day I saw it on Nairaland. All I had to do was visit the UAE Visa website and saw that they still issue the same 4 days, 30 days and 90 days visit visas to Nigerians. |
Lentilize:The candidates of the major parties especially didn't drop from the sky. Their track records are well known to the general public. Note that I said least corrupt, not a saint. |
Nigeria is a terrible place to live in because many Nigerian citizens are hopelessly corrupt. That's why I always support the least corrupt candidate in every election. At least if I can't do much about the unfortunate institutional corruption in public offices manned by corrupt citizens in the Police, Immigration, Judiciary, Civil Service, Airports, etc.; let the state treasury be relatively safe from being looted away by a very Corrupt President. |
Pkingman:I just hope Nairaland people haven't succeeded in messing up your head with conspiracies. This is the wrongest place to seek for relationship advice. There's absolutely nothing wrong with your wife, except that you are the exact opposite of her and you don't want to accept that. I'm almost just like your wife regarding putting my relationship or our pictures on social media. I don't want any of that in the public domain. Whereas it's the opposite for my girlfriend. I've told her she can post whatever she wants about me or us but only on WhatsApp. Facebook and the rest are too public for me. As weird as it sounds, as a rule I don't accept Friend request on Facebook from anyone I'm dating. I'm also not into material things so I don't get excited about gifts. I just give others and move on immediately without caring about how they react to my gift or what they do with it. The last thing I want is a pre wedding picture. ![]() Just learn to live your marital life outside social media. After all, this was the case just 10yrs ago. |
forzaDiya:Go to studyinnorway.no for schools and programs that suit your desires. Most undergraduate programs are taught in Norwegian. So your chances are not good. |
mrcodebreaker:There are several factors to consider: Visa: Your chance of getting a US study visa should be around 50% while you stand a 90% chance of getting a Norwegian study visa once you submit the required documents. No interview required. Simply submit and go home. So if you don't want this year to elude your study aspirations, go with Norway. Funding: If funding isn't an issue for you at all, then the US is your better option for obvious reasons. Stay back: Norway allows you a year on Job seekers visa to find a job, however you have to show them N10m of your money or an equivalent work contract to get the visa. Jobs: It's not as before oil prices crashed but jobs are gradually picking up in Norway due to oil prices recovery. Experienced positions are booming again while graduate jobs are gradually showing up. Norwegians and EU citizens are apparent favorites for entry level jobs at the moment. However, several other non EUs including Nigerians have been lucky to get jobs after graduating last year. My advice: Try and gather all required documents for Norway. Then if it's possible, try your luck with the US visa first. If you don't succeed at the interview, immediately apply for the Norwegian study permit towards the end of May. Norwegian Immigration commences processing study visas in June. Lastly, ask your questions here so that other Nigerians can benefit while reading through. |
mrcodebreaker:Do you have the US study visa already? |
Yeah...I kinda messed up that translation.How far have you gone with your pidgin quest? I sure sey you never start sef...even if na to learn one word. ![]() |
I don't think it has much to do with the safety of our railways, rather it's about the mentality of Nigerians. As soon as government builds a road, railway, pedestrian bridge, walkway; some Nigerians have automatically become shopowners. They must start selling biscuits, used clothes, etc. on that infrastructure. ![]() On several occasions, some of such people have been crushed by trains in Lagos. Rail lines are usually isolated either by fences or overhead bridges in cities or populated areas for safety purposes. Outside crowded areas, anyone who decides to leave every other place except the rail tracks to play, do business or rear cattle should have himself to blame for the consequences. |
Journalism has gone to the gutters. Most online media houses now are clickbait experts with wrong headlines. FYI, only 1 building collapsed in Lagos Island some weeks ago, the others have long been marked for demolition and in response are currently being pulled down by the government. |
Nyela:It's either you are not aware or you forgot. Patrick Yakowa, a Christian defeated a Muslim and was elected governor of Kaduna state in 2011. |
northvietnam:Nice to hear. Same here 100% |
northvietnam:This exactly is my fear. Tinubu having a presidential ambition in the APC is a recipe for disaster for the party. It's easier for him to push credible, sellable presidential candidates forward as a party leader and convince other members as to why that's the way to go. But his personal ambition can possibly tear the party apart. Also, Tinubu has a credibility issue before the public and the masses might not buy his candidacy, especially coming just after electing Buhari with Integrity. I'll rather have a Fashola or Osinbajo presidential candidacy. |
Jarus:I totally share your sentiments. I've grown a thick skin towards ignorant comments and I've learnt to read, laugh, ignore and move on ASAP. Unfortunately, this forum is possibly the only reflection of the mentality of Nigerians to the rest of the world. So once in a while, it's OK to drop some commonsense to those who appreciate and learn from it without having to do back and forth arguments. After posting, I get lots of mentions (mostly insults) from the same ignorant folks, but I simply ignore and move on. |
hardbody:Lol. No, I work(ed) on the sea. |
theoldpretender:I would have thought so too and would love to see such a contest, but PDP is PDP... very dumb and predictable. Unless they're reading my comment and change. |
profsein007:Buhari has always defeated any opposition from the north. 2007 wasn't an election in the first place (Ask Yar'adua). Till date, INEC itself does not have state by state breakdown of that presidential election simply because Iwu wrote the results in his bedroom. |
It should be easy to understand voting patterns across the country but it seems intelligence is a rare commodity, especially on Nairaland. Firstly, no northerner alive can defeat Buhari in the north. That has always been a known fact (one not obvious to PDP because it's full of dumb people). Secondly, majority of Nigerians are politically informed so they vote for the candidates, and not the party (except the politically blind people who prefer to reelect a failed PDP governor because APC is a "satanic" party to them). In summary, the people of Sokoto, Kano, Bauchi, etc. chose Integrity over Kleptocracy in the presidential election; and voted differently according to the credibility and performance of their various state governors. Shikena Modified: Let me take the chance to tell you what the very predictably dumb PDP will do in 2023. They will pick another northern presidential candidate thinking northerners vote for fellow northerners, while APC will likely pick the most credible candidate it has from the South (West). Again Nigerians will vote for credibility and performance and APC will win. |
MachoMontana:Very risky boat ride there. Thank God for your lives. I can't do that on the North Sea especially after seeing people die in the very calm Nigerian deep-water. We just hiked to the coastal hills at Egersund, took pictures by the coastal cliff and lighthouse before returning to our cabins. |
The North Sea is the craziest sea I've ever seen in my life. Even at the coast, the water is violent. The sea was so rough yesterday that rescue boats sent also faced similar problems. Thankfully everyone has been rescued. Nigerian sea is super calm even in deepwater environment. |




Abeg, Ambode should carry his disrespect for others, inability to carry people along and failure to follow well laid down blueprint..back to Epe.
