isn't NLNG project an epic fraud? How many years has it been in operations and how has it changed Nigeria in one bit? Or have we forgotten Halliburton so soon?

AlanF100:
Bros this your statement doesnt seem to mean anything.

Because we have the dullest leadership in history doesn’t mean we should be distorting facts. NLNG is probably the only successful mega-investment, money-making machine Nigeria has succeeded in institutionalising in the last 20 years.
I interned in NLNG and can easily fault your claim. As at my time they had 6 trains and the 7th train was under construction. LNG Trains are complicated series of refining (distillation) columns. While trains remove unwanted elements from the “crude gas” petroleum refinery does the same thing to “crude oil”.
Raw/crude gas from oil fields are gathered by massive pipes and taken to the NLNG trains where the refining is done and the most important products Liquefied natural gas, Liquefied petroleum gas, etc are exported to foreign nations where gas is most need for their cold weather.
NLNG have their own ships (controlled by a subsidiary company) and they don’t have to go to India to do anything.

You better shut you guts if you know nothing about NLNG operations. It is obvious your intern period was a complete waste and you come across more like those errand interns who only got there by quotas and 'naija paddy paddy'.

very stupid post,

By the way, has the inglorious Reuben Abati come out to refute it yet again?

Beside, what more can you expect from a leadership who went overseas to announce a major public decision such as the suspension of the celebration of Nigeria's Indepedence  till 2014?

I hope this story better is not true!

is this how GEJ intends to create thousands of Steve Jobs in Nigeria? Another waste of money!

This is like a farmer that plants a seed amount weeds and is expecting a bumper harvest! Complete insanity

So long as the structural set up of the economy is flawed as even GEJ has admitted to, and there is no visible sign that something is being done to fix the structural flaws, the impact of this will not go beyond the pockets of political associates.

My take is competitions like this should be left to training institues; budding idea centers, colleges, schools, universities, etc with the active backing of the FG through her agencies.

[quote author=New9ja.beb link=topic=778929.msg9312048#msg9312048 date=1318270078]good day,

anyone with an idea how long the visa verification stage is? is there another stage afterwards. applied on 12/9/2011. feedback is its at the verification stage. was hoping it would be a breeze like the schegen one applied for first entry france and true to their word 10days it was out. Thought the UK one would be faster thou coz wen we submitted @lekkie no que at all got there around 930am.

has anyone ever requested for their passport back? whats the procedure and how long will it take?


thanks[/quote]Exercise a little more patience. When your application is not a straight forward case, it may take a little while.

You may be getting your text alert this friday -watch out-

Isiri:
@ omo tie.appreciate

Have you made up your mind to apply anytime soon?

From the poster's description, it may well be that the airplane was outside of the CG limit envelope for that particular configuration layout.

A dropping nose would seem more like a near excursion of FWD CG limit resulting from a number of factors inflight.


Why on earth is a B727 allowed into the Nigerian airspace?

We need to know what the content of warrant of arrest is before commenting in full.

But let it be known, no despotic government have ever and will ever succeed in killing the opposition!

I hope GEJ can stand the heat when the true N.A.K.E.D dance of sane men begins!

very good move! hope they would ensure that all the loopholes are covered in the legislation to ensure the ordinary nigerian doesn't get punished by these networks. As in the UK, your current provided only has 14days to get you switched off thier network i.e, get your number released!

I would advice you not to waste your money as you are most likely to be refused Visas.

The ECO will find it difficult to be convinced that you will spend nearly £3000 just to go watch a football match and He would refuse you under balance of probability as usual.

If wakanow was organizing this as part of a holiday package with an itenary of a premiership match then I would say you chances of getting a visitors visas will be very high. But as it stands, it seems they expect you to get the visas yourself after which they will help you with the package of watching a premiership game. Really daft move I must say.

Best bet go apply for a visiting tourist visas,and lookout for local holiday agents in the UK who can help sortout a premiership match for you but I must warn it wouldn't come cheap! You can also get tickets yourself on the day of match for some games depends on which club and who they are playing on that day.

During the first Administration of Tinubu, Lagos State embarked on the creation of Local Council Development Authorities/Areas LCDA claiming it was required to further evenout the development and spread of good governance in Lagos State.

Several years on, I ask, has Lagos State truly benefitted from the creation of LCDAs or summarily is thier creation a way of handing out more political offices and 'bailouts' to political associates?

@ Omo-tier, The level is Undergraduate and the resumption is January

There are two limits you have to overcome. One set by your intended school and the other set by UKBA. The one set by your intended school is always higher than that set by UKBA, so I would advice you e-mail your school and gt the details from them.

go to this website for the UKBA information;

And have we gotten a re-joined from the inglorious Reuben Abati yet?

This is one of the reasons the Civil Service is still innately corrupt because those Directors, DGs know the leadership is only paying leap service to financial prudency in managing the country's wealth.

By the way, during the 51st Nigeria's independence lecture, Jonathan promised He was going to hold a live phone-in media chat with Nigerians.

If the phone calls are not stage managed -as we know they can do with the help of NSA and SSS- can we make it a point of duty to query the president on this?

We know the State House is huge and has so many employees, but we also know that the State House/Presidency uses employees of other government agencies and they are paid by these agencies and not by the presidency!

Why on earth should the state house be on a national grid? Why can't they generate thier own electricity from wind and Solar? or Can the state house use up 20MW? I mean, this will save cost in the long run.

What a disgrace!

Going by the Federal Island Revenue Service report which revealed that all the states in Nigeria are only able to raise 3% of IGR of Nigeria, I think it will be foolhardy for anyone or a group to still be asking for the creation of more states!

I think these despotic, selfishly innate fading old generation should stop creating unnecessary controversy amongst the younger generation. 150years from today people will careless of which state they belong so long as the basics which guaranty upward social, economic and spiritual prosperity and wellbeing is there for them!

disgusting! Why on earth a guy would choose to degenerate a girl sexually is one thing I can't fathom.

It is a pitiable abysmsal dismal situation that se.x is now the weapon of choice nigeria men now use against her women. WE ARE NOT SOUTH AFRICA FOR CHRIST SAKE!

@ poster you are suffering from ABRODAPHOBIA and YANKEELOESIS

francisj:
@ poster

u posted this in the wrong thread,don't you think we should be discussing politics here !!!!

No offence pls,I just feel that some topic should be place where the belong,do you think so ?

Who told you there is no politicks involved in this topic?

Center your dicussion on the politicks of the matter at hand!

They should upgrade their planes to b777.how could they be using 737 on an int and a very lucrative route as well?Anywayz,i dont fancy them.

Why would you put a marcopolo on the route that have a load yield of a toyotal haice?

B737 has the range/endurance and suites the yield load factor for LHR - ABV. Beside, Arik short to medium term growth strategy means easy rerouting of aircraft to thier regional routes when the LHR to ABV is clogged like we witnessed with the icelandic volcanic eruption.

By the way Arik has B777 and B787 on boeing's order books which are not due for delivery till 2015 I think. And Arik is the boing launch customer for B787 in Africa which goes with some form of pride.

Hi Friends,

Please do anyone know the lowest score of IBT Toefl UK embassy can accept during submitting an application?

Depends on the level you are studying at i.e pre,unnder and post.

Consult the Tier 4 PBS policy guidance on the UKBA website (just google it) or you tell us what level you have been given admission and we can help you out.

By the way, is your resumption January or you are preparing for next year winter resumption?

arsenefc:
Of course, from The Nation Newspaper, propaganda of the lowest calibre

How is it propaganda? The sun also wrote a similar article on Edo State after the Editors' conference in the state and thier conclusion was similar i.e., the governor has tried in his effort to open up rural parts of the state and link them to the towns and cities.

I think that is what Nigeria truly needs right now instead of the overly concentration on in development/upgrading of cities we continue to see in some states.

The present Nigeria Police Force, (NPF)and her Officers are disgrace to men and women all over the world who have committed thier lives to duty in crime prevention, investigation and prosecution.

Seriously, why do we continue to recruit Nigerians with the lowest IQ into the security agencies?

Someone somewhere made a statement recently that appears to be so true;Nigeria security agencies especially the Police do not know what a crime is! - How so true this statement is-

Removal of petrol subsidy at this point in time no doubt is a bad economic move for a number of very good reasons-my personal opinion-

However, since the FG seems hell bent on removing subsidy on Petrol, so I ask; how much can Nigerians afford to pay for petrol before thier pockets begin to snap?

which plesin is culling my husband the whorst plesident ? is it musa that suya man Madam Patience ?

@beaf,
I know in Delta state, power is constant and all the villages from burutu to amasonga also have street lights! , have patience, I will deliver ;P

'm sure the soft porn alike sun newspaper (uk) would not dare to feature this on thier newsprint!

congrats to the young lad and his parents.Hope you can make nigeria proud like the imafidons!

Beaf:
Hey! Make we shout eee! Somebody has been misquoted so its vulture day!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Big vulture, small vulture. . . ALL vultures, come out to dance!

Shameless imp, devoid of truth, am I surprised? Not really.

CCTV in Enugu?, You mean that local chinese television station now have a branch in Enugu

(2051 campaign has start?

@beaf, which contract is more juicy? Mark or Rochas  :'

I am beginning to suspect this mark. This guy is eyeing the presidency big time and He knows His position as Senate President stand him a very good chance if He can play his game well.

It begger belief how critical Mark has become since He took over this present Senate in May and I have been observing him closely, a different Mark seemingly pro-people, pro-nigerians is systematically being potrayed to Nigerians.Just yesterday He said ", 2015 is just around the corner, "

In any case, He is damn right but ugly

Arab Spring
American Autum

Nigerian Harmmattan anyone?

Did I hear the pop champagne voices of the SANs and the Barrs?

Since the level of patronage from Election Tribunal has decimated to an abysmal level, no doubt this news will cheer up some elegant SANs!

For all I care, as long as this government has failed to ensure a reform and restructuring of our juidicial system, all this EFCC gra gra will amount to nothing.

Lets not forget, the essence of arrest, prosecution and imprisonment of a criminal is not so much so that the criminal is imprisoned but rather that a reviberating message is sent out that you can not commit a crime and get away with no matter how long - until this 'feeling' starts reviberating in Nigeria like it does in places like say the UK, I will continue to the see EFCC as still not living upto expectation and the fight against corruption a charade!
