He will be in PDP and win River state governor, and other internal politics but work for APC in the presidential election by making sure the party get at least 30%. That’s enough.
You can be a PDP governor in your state and work for another party in the federal. The SW region successfully did that in 2011 for Jonathan.
Tinubu is a thoroughbred politician. Don’t underrate his negotiating power. Again never underrate that man ability to build coalition.
Your head correct bros, you sabi history! That year PDP cleared Lagos with over a million votes for presidential election while ACN won the governorship. Just like you said, Tinubu is a chief strategist in politics, he knows when to act,react, retrace, negotiate,etc.
chibu4u2: 4 months plus at home is equivalent to a semester + break Striking workers may not receive their salary as at when due, due to "no work no pay" policy but who suffers the most.......The students.
Ironically not student but the economy of the country, because the students can migrate to where education is high of importance and develop him/herself but the country cannot do same unfortunately!
If you doubt me, check how many education strike actions happened in the UK,USA,China,Japan, Germany,Finland,Canada in the last 5 years.
Lotusgoddess: No, WES evaluates national diploma and if she has both OND, and HND, then it's an advantage. It's not a must that her school must show, just try please. Why isn't she the PA cos I'm guessing she's younger?
If you can make her the PA, evaluate her OND and HND, it would give her the score for two it more certificates. Then let her write ielts as well. The only thing that might prevent her from being the PA is work experience
Yes, your guess is correct, she is younger but no HND.
ednut1: i only talked about ECA, its better to do it now than doing it when it is required for a job ( you will miss out). For Ielts if she doesn't do it now, during citizenship application it will be required.
Hmmm, really? Please, which ECA agency can I use for her ND because WES minimum evaluation I saw is Bsc?
Lotusgoddess: Lol, please if you have the means to improve your scores, do it. You can't be 100% sure of Manitoba. Even if you are, adding your wife's credentials would only increase your chances
@Lotusgoddess Thanks for your point, nice one. When I checked my Degree Equivalency on WES, noticed Bsc is the minimum they can evaluate, so I couldn't test her National Diploma, infact her polytechnic didnt come up when I searched the institution.
ednut1: hahahaha you are saying only Do you know what points they will call when draws resume It may be 480s to 500s which you obviously wont meet. Eca will still be used here for government jobs and many private sector jobs as verification. Unless maybe you have pnp or Canadian experience plus phd you can leave eca and ielts.
@ednut1 Thanks for prompt response. Yes, I'm working on Manitoba PNP and I have Bsc with over 7 years work experience in a field, once that goes through with the 600 points, I feel there wont be need for her Diploma ECA and IELTS. Except you are saying asides the CRS points, both the principal applicant and spouse MUST do ECA and IELTS each to get any job in Canada.
ednut1: no. This is unnecessary documentation, should be in personal history only. Wife wey dey force husband tho
I just used the CRS tool to have idea of my score, and I noticed that the Spouse factors section has no meaningful points, even IELTS scores 8,7,7,7 could give only 20 points. My question is, does it really make sense for us to spend money on ECA for her Diploma and taking the language test too, for less than 40 points? I'm the principal applicant(PA) and want to cut cost, please I need your useful advise.
Hello Guys, Can I someone diagnosed of LUPUS(not serious case, only affected the skin) pass a Canada PR medicals or it would be a total waste of resources and time?
Totilopussylick: I am one of such person that do not like going to church regularly, but I believe so much in God and I know I am not the only one in this, this problem is faced by so many people around the world.
Your not alone in this my dear.
I myself can't remember when last i near church.
I live in Germany like this but to be honest with you, you hardly see people going to church on Sunday morning.
If not because of calendar, I barely knows what the day is here in Europe.
Is only in Africa people carry church matter for head.
Ironically, these western countries that are less religious are using Africa blue-black!!
Alusiizizi: Freelance. Pay was paltry and inconsistent at first, but after a 2 years or so, I have many steady, well paying clients and now have time for almost nothing else. I usually expect $4000~$5000 monthly. Some months lower/higher than others. Most of my work is strongly numerical and there's quite a bit of data science. Occasionally some web development. I have a product that I've been working on for a few months now, hopefully I'll be done with it by the end of next month and with good enough marketing I dream of fetching $1000,000 every month.
I just get IBM Data Science Professional Certificate in Dec 2021, I have been struggling to get job on Upwork,but no luck yet. I can use python,SQL,pycaret for ML,what do you suggest I do differently to get jobs?
sirjamesjnr: I started coding as fun, but I found out I have a deep interest in it. I have downloaded more than 74 videos that I use for my learning. I also watch videos on data structure and algorithms. I will like to take a step further by enrolling in an online platform for more learning and to belong to a community. The Indian Guy suggested I enroll in Codecademy, while someone here on nairaland suggested Coursera.
Please I will like to know which of the two is the real deal and why. Also, where can I enroll for a physical internship either in Lagos or Abuja. Preferably a firm run by Chinese or Indian. I won't mind a Nigerian community provided I get what I am looking for. I can create time for the internship.
N/B. In my field(EEE( Embedded Systems)) I need deep knowledge of coding to create a niche. Merry Christmas to this great family.
If you need globally recognized certifications,used Coursera plus their lecture model(videos and written) is great. They have many resources to plug in,like cloud computing...you don't need to download, install or run softwares or platforms on your local machine. I just got Data science professional certification today from IBM through Coursera.
SpecialAdviser: Good one. AkwaIbom is just doing fantastically fine with their 13% derivation and allocation. One of the few 13% derivation states doing marvelouslly well.
God bless all the Biafran provinces in Nigeria. People of God
That was a wrong dream man,just clean your face and go back to the sleep!!!
Please I need a piece of honest advice from experienced nairalanders, I am a Software Engineer, I got an offer from a very close friend (He is like a brother to me) of mine that resides in Dubai to come and manage a club he co-owns to enable him time for other activities. I will need to learn how nightclubs operate since I have little or zero knowledge about the nightlife. I have the freedom to pick up side gigs (or remote work) when I can and He is not in any way restricting me but he needs me to learn the business with him.
The plan, in a simple language, when I learn the business well enough he will pull out and open his own so I can be his manager since he doesn't want recognition.
He paid for my flight ticket and was the one that processed the visa for me (tourism) and he is currently working on how my visa can be extended and my work permit too.
Before I came to Dubai, I applied for this opening with a tech firm in Berlin. I completed the last stage here in Dubai and have been sent the offer but I will have to relocate to Germany because the work is on-site, the company bare expenses regards flight ticket, travel insurance, visa process et al. The start salary is 56K euros per annum (gross).
Also, I resigned from a bank as a development specialist (full-time staff not yet confirmed though, was earning 450K naira net with other benefits) prior to my trip to Dubai. I was doing well in Nigeria because I earned a total of up to 800K (with all my works combined) just that the work ethic (the bank work) is toxic to me because you will work your brain out debugging code, plus I am looking at a good place that I can start a family when I am ready and Nigeria is a no for me unless I have enough money to send my kid abroad to study.
What do I do now that I am already in Dubai? I am passionate about tech and I love the echo system. Please any input from experienced fellows will go a long way for me.
Thanks in advance. Mod please help so I can get as much input as possible
Bro,please go with your passion as a Software Developer with experience. The future is IT,not even the money but what you do with your hands and brain,that's what sells in western world. On your friend side,have the conversation with him,make him see reasons you want to follow your passion and even suggest refund to him for the whole Dubai trip.
QueenDilinna: My Nairaland family, Please help me for my daughter's case. We have done a lot, biopsy and six months constant medication and all yielded no results. All manner of traditional medicine have been prescribed. It has spread all over her body. I am emotionally drained. House please help me.
Sir,please take her to Duro Soleye Hospital on Allen avenue,Ikeja beside FCMB. Ask of Dr. David Odunowo,he is an experienced Darmatologist,Allegist with over 40 years practice,go there with all test results and medication she has been taking and then above all, talk to God and believe she 'll be fine. Be strong daddy,I understand your plight.

Maxymilliano: What did Peter Obi smoked to have arrived at this jaundice conclusion ?
I'm disappointed at the man,used to respect his personality, that was a senseless conclusion. In that case, how many times has he visited that Biafra in prison since he is popular than himself?
As for the South-West own,he used his anus to think that! Igboho that cannot express himself or is because of his land-grabbing power?
chinasaekpere: Hello guys, this is a very strong decision I want to make, I need your help to make this decision or not to. I am thinking of cutting my parents off because they have caused me enormous financial setback as a result of the bad decisions my father made. Firstly, I will like to give you a background of the story.
I come from a family of 4 and I am the first child of my parents. My dad is a retired federal government worker, he worked for many eyes as a school cert holder (so obviously, he didn’t hold very top position until he retired, probably the max in reached was level 8 or 9). He trained me through the university and he retired during my NYSC, at this point one of my brothers was in the university (he never graduated because he was nonchalant), my 3rd brother was a jambite and the last born was in primary school. The Jambite graduated this year and the last born is now a jambite.
In 2013, my dad retired and received gratuity worth several millions. My mom tried persuading him to build a house in the village because we are Igbos but Based in ogun state but my dad refused and insisted that he was going to develop his land in ogun state by building a 4 flats building (up stairs) then start business with the remaining money in Ogun state (apparently, he got the revelation from church to do that), he never completed the house. My dad is very religious until date, so out of the money he paid tithe, bought instruments for church and made some donations. Immediately I finished serving, I got a job with a pharmaceutical company as a medical sales representative. I was receiving a salary of 80k with commission. Things started great. I served some money I joined my dad in some of his fish farm business, I was in Enugu while he was doing the farm business in ogun state. When it was time to harvest the fish, I was told stories about theft, I spent 700k on the business but was able to recover 200k because I had to help him offset some debt.
To cut the long story short, my dad started having serious financial issues, couldn’t pay school fees of my last born in school, had several debts just about 2years after collecting millions as gratuity due to his wrong choice of investment. Ofcourse the financial burden transcended to me, until a point that my dad got into trouble from another debt, he spent church harvest savings that he was suppose to remit. I was paying my brothers school fees worth 150k per term, i had to take money from company’s account to help him offset the debt hoping that he would pay up and I will pay some before company finds out. The whole financial burden was so huge for a starter like me, owing to the fact that I lost all my savings to the fish farming business and I also had to pay house rents in Enugu and pay other bills. I accumulated a debt of 1.2million with the company and then is started paying it by bit until the company found out that there was a deficit of 400k. I was arrested and was in the cell for days. To get out of the cell, I had to sign a legal agreement for a payment plan of paying 30k monthly to offset the debt. Luckily for me, I got a 60k job 1month after, my dad couldn’t pay my last siblings school fees, I took him to Enugu and started Paying his bills. I was also paying 30k from my salary every month until I paid all the lost the job again during the heat of the recession. I managed to pay up that debt. Since 2018, I haven’t really done any serious job, I started driving Uber in 2019, saved up some money, my mom needed money for business last year, i borrowed her, she couldn’t complete the payment. The car I was using to do the Uber got bad again. I had to look for a remote job now in Lagos, I saved up money and learnt how to do footwear, i Am saving some money to pay my house and shop rent and get machines. Last two month my dad called that he needed money for my brother’s school fees so he can complete his SSCE exams. He promised to payback mid last month, now I have not seen the money and my that was my house rent I borrowed him. My house rent expired in August. I called him, and ofcourse, he is playing the emotional game. Now, they are in serious financial mess and they seem not to want stop dragging me into it and it’s not as if I am doing great myself. I am not, I’m struggling to make something after mortgaging a lot of time paying several debts. It is overwhelming.
The point is, I am 31years old, I’m looking forward to making my own family and it seem if I am not careful, they will drag me back from this objective. Anytime I try to organize myself, they come up with their monetary problems and it hinders my growth. My plan was to get a shop and equip it before the end of first quarter 2022 from the saving I made from my current 80k salary and now they have collected my house rent in form of a loan. That’s a drawback again.
I have to make my own family, I need to shed some burden to be able to do that. I also want to be a parent and I never want to depend on my kids in my old age. Should I cut them off? If no, what do you advice that I do?
Bro, you have tried really, that's alot of sacrifices you have paid. Even when you were in cell,they did nothing and you came out and continue paying "their" debt and eventually lost the job,your dad couldn't even use his years in govt to get you a job there,it is sad! Now,make them 10% priority while 90% about your future else your case might be worse considering Nigeria economy reality today.
The only thing that makes your situation better than mine, it is because they managed to sent you to school and not a polygamous family. They gave birth to me,separated and sent me to my ground-father with many wives and children at below age 10,while they continued marrying other women/men. I saw hell,since then my life has not balanced, it has been from hell to hell,impacted my education, everything but thank God for life!!! They didn't contribute a kobo to my schooling but they can call for financial help,I won't lie...I blanked them for a long time,just imagine a situation where you don't know the name of your mother till your adulthood,it is sickens, most times I cry secretly. It was my wife that made me call and send money when feel like.
The issue now is that my mother is sick, and she is talking about being the first born and i asked about the rest,especially my elder sisters...they are saying it is first son they will ask not first daughter, mehn! Guys some Nigerian parents are nothing worse than the govt. No responsibility but inherited stress, when i did my wedding,I had to send transportation(to & fro)before my mum could attend,just imagine!
Bro,please face your life and learn from your parents mistake,God bless us.
So someone who finds it hard to contribute for the seldom refill of cooking gas and is always quick at referencing her contribution when any issue related to it comes up should be further persuaded into making more notable financial contributtion to the running of the home? Huh?
It is at this point that the OP will experience hell. Any point of disagreement will be met with the constant reminder that he isn't the sole provider for the home and that she (the wife) has been contributing even far more than he has when in reality that is not the case.
Women are just not meant to be providers. QED.
You are counting people opinions without providing any,I see nothing wrong with that advice except you are offer a better one. In fact it is a very good idea, even in business that is the main reason for segment reporting,so every entity knows what they are bringing to the table,no argument. Like that person suggested, 800k over 200k is easy to reconcile.
uche87: A young woman from Asia lighted up her wedding ceremony with her stellar dance steps in Nigeria recently.
The woman, Erica Joyce Laxamana, from the Philippines performed an impromptu choreography with her groom and the bridal train during their wedding ceremony.
Even the groom named Olatunji Oladipo Ajayi, from Ighara, Edo State was outworked and outclassed by a foreigner on the dance floor.
The choreography was coordinated by MC extraordinaire, Segun Meroyi aka MC Tom. The video has gone viral on social media ad young folks are loving every bit of it.
Like I told them then, Edo can never be Lagos! Because Lagos sees the bigger picture, when Tinubu paid for our SSCE and NECO exams in 2001 I didn't know what he was doing then,but today I know how much taxes I have paid to Lagos Govt.,because of the opportunities given me to here,cant this be said about Edo?
Let's forget about the IGR, compare the 2 states,good schools,hospitals, opportunities, etc and Lagos is not even an oil producing state,how does she do it? Instead of them to learn humbly, they said it is 4+4,Ogbanee!!!
Edo please enjoy the monster you made,remember there are still 3 years to go for the tax collectors,eku enjoyment!!
Investigative: this is news for toddlers in Nigeria We know buhari once cried for boko haram And south west willingly hand Nigeria government to jihadist and religious extremist
So there was no boko haram during the 6 years a southern president ruled? Intact I remember then Israel even offered to help Nigerian govt to tackle BH,but we refused! Every part of the country is guilty because Nigerians make our govt not foreigners!
onthehill: Afghanistan: "If You Supported Biden, Pray That Boko Haram, ISWAP Don't Take Over Nigeria''- FFK
Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has asked Nigerians who supported President Joe Biden during the US presidential elections to start praying that Boko Haram and ISWAP members don't come knocking on the gates of Abuja or take over Nigeria, just as the Taliban have taken over the reins of affair in Afghanistan, IgbereTV reports.
In a post shared on his Instagram page, FFK stated that the US President should have opted for ''tactical withdrawal'' of US forces in Afghanistan instead of the "capitulation he embarked upon."
He claimed that such a thing would never have happened, if former U.S. President, Donald Trump was still in power.
