Green Eagles folks have turned serial defaulter. After my first ROI Payment in September which was just 25% of total amount invested plus ROI, they are yet to make the other payments. The outstanding payments fell due in October, November and December 2020. It is almost 10 months after and nothing is being done except for the montly apology we receive. To think I invested about N1.9m in this Green Eagles makes me even more disappointed

monabass:
Green eagles - www.greenwealth.ng advertised their investment opportunity on TVC last year. I felt they were serious with their business for them to have advertised on such media platform

I was promised 15% ROI in 6 months, the date is due in excess of one week and no payment has been made to me.

The customer representative sounds so bad and it makes me wonder if the capital was given to me by them.

Anyone having/had similar experience with them?
Please help with necessary bodies/regulatory organization that I can involve in this because I don't want to lose what I invested

This is quite misleading. How do you mean that Civil Engineering or Mechanical Engineering is waste of time? You are definitely not in the industry to make such a hasty generalization. Have you considered the fact that Nigeria is a developing country with vast potential for civil construction opportunities? And you think a student of physics whose emphasis in school are on quantum mechanics, astrophysics, and some abstract stuff would be responsible for the construction of Sky Scrappers? Do you even understand what Mechanical Engineering is all about?

While electrical Engineering is hot at the moment, do you realize manufacturing is an integral part of Mechanical Engineering and will be here with us for God knows when? Please don't mislead people. Let people do what they are wired to study.

A lot of Nigerian students especially those from high school still hold some archaic mentality that some courses are a sure way out of poverty. The situation of Nigeria and the future should make people dead that mentality o. If you arent from a rich family or well connected you should avoid studying some courses in Nigeria.

The following should be avoided except you are rich or well connected.

Medicine: This used to be a very sure way out of poverty. Just like 14 years back, even NYSC doctors were getting six figures. It was so good that even after NYSC and Housemanship, some doctors had bought nice cars or even built houses. The situation is totally different today. To get housemanship as a doctor na die and even when you get it you will be paid peanuts. To migrate out of the country as a doctor requires serious money which if you arent from a privileged home might be very difficult to meet. To also further as a doctor in Nigeria is very difficult as a lot of residency programs are based on who you know. Its no more about merit just as it used to be before yet every year thousands of teenagers kill themselves trying to get into medicine when they can get into other programs which are much more lucrative.

All Engineering Courses except Electrical/Computer engineering: Contrary to what a lot of people think, engineering a lot of branches of engineering are not as lucrative as people think they are. I was checking unilag's cut off the other day for my cousins and was shocked to find out that petroleum engineering has the highest cut-off point in the engineering department. That is a program that should be scrapped. Its glory days are over and never going to come back and its so restrictive yet a whole lot of brilliant people think killing themselves to study this is actually a good idea. Electrical and computer engineering are the only courses I can really advise anyone to go for as they are very much relevant in the ICT sector. Embedded systems, computer hardware, robotics alongside a host of others are mostly offshoots of these fields.
Lucrative alternatives to engineering that arent as competitive are computer science, mathematics and physics. Someone intending to study civil engineering or mechanical engineering in Nigeria should go for physics. There's practically no place a mechanical or civil engineer can work in this world that someone with a degree in physics cant work.

Law: I wont say much here but if you love poverty, this is an amazing course to study. If you are from arts class, instead of law go for a degree in English. At least with a TEFL certificate and an English degree you can get good jobs teaching English in asia and latin america.

Another thing that might help is that before you study a course, go on linkedin. Create a profile, go to linkedin jobs and check specifically how many jobs exist for your course in Nigeria, Africa and globally.

Nigeria isnt funny anymore to waste time on nonsense and funny as it is, Nigeria of today is a paradise compared to the Nigeria coming so folks should help themselves.

One sided story. They were gunned down at the refinery jetty. No one goes there looking for job. It's either bunkery or 'deve'. RIP to the dead.

If I were the husband, we would serve the suspension and allow it to be lifted thereafter we leave the church. It shows they don't belong there. It won't be good to leave a church while on suspension. So they should serve it and find their way out of the church to a better and more spiritually accommodating church. God sees their hearth and will hold the church leadership accountable.

[color=#000050]Well, there are a lot of factors to put into consideration as regards this issue of reading to understand.

First of all one has to decide to want to read. You can't do anything well if you are forced to do that thing or you feel that thing is something you 'must' do, so you just have to do it.
It's the same way with reading. You first of all have to develop the desire to read. The desire to get the knowledge that the particular book or course you want to read is offering.
The truth is if you don't desire to read, you will never understand as you supposed to.

Another thing one should take into consideration is the environment you want to read in.
Some people like to read in quite environments, some like to read in noisy environments. Some like to read while listening to soft or loud music. Some like to read while munching a snack, or biscuit or sipping from their favorite drinks.
Some like to read with a friend and have chit chats in between the reading exercise.
As for me, I can only understand in a quite environment. One where I am alone and there is no noise.
I also like to walking around while I am memorizing(craming). It helps me grasp it faster.
I am someone who thinks on her feet, so when I am memorizing a passage of a book, I prefer to walk around.

I also like to jot down as I write. Before I read a course, I get a 60/80 leaves exercise book and I draw a thin like down the middle of each page.
So as I read each topic, I jot down some important points.
I have come to the realization that whenever I jot down anything while reading, I hardly forget.
In school, the lecturers normally gave us materials, both in soft and hard copy.
So when I am done jotting down those important points in this materials, the next time I read that subject or topic, I just go through what I have jotted down.

I also try to understand the ways lecturers set their questions. Some lecturers always follow a certain pattern when setting their exam and test questions.
Even in some courses, despite the lecturer handling that course, the method of setting the questions is always the same.
So if you know how these exam question are asked, you would know the pattern you would use in reading.
Some students just ignorantly read everything and they don't pay cognizance to some center key areas where the bulk of these questions are asked from.

Past questions are also important and surprisingly, they are always available.
When I get these past questions, I always use them as a guide as to how to read.
When I am done reading a course, I test myself with these past question to see if I have really covered the scheme and if I truly understand the course and to ascertain how ready I am for the exam.

Group reading is also essential. Is good to always have a group of friends you discuss a course with. It's not necessary you do it with them everyday but you pick a particular time maybe twice a week to read and discuss together.
One thing I have noticed is whatever I discuss any topic with my friends, I never forget it and I also understand it better.

Finally, one thing about this courses is that they are very volatile. So I always try to make sure at every point in time, I able to remember everything I have read.
The way I do this is that I get an exercise book, and from time to time, I try to replicate what I have read and memorized on the book. The more I do that, the more I tend not to forget what I read.

The time one reads is also important. In school, majority of students always read at night. In Uniben it's called Night class. One thing I noticed is that not everyone actually likes or knows how to read night but because their friends read at night, they decide to tag along.
I noticed that my brain is normally alert during the evenings and early in the morning.
So, I always read from 5- 7 in the morning and after classes in the evening all the way till 11-12pm.
Once it's 1am in the morning, my brain stops assimilating so at that time, I just go to my hostel and sleep.

I always read in classes or at the library. And it's not just any class. The way the class is lighted also affects the way I read and understand. I prefer classes that are well lighted.
I also like chewing gum when I read. It also helps me grasp faster, and I don't fall asleep easily.
And when I sit in the class, I always sit at the extreme of the chairs. If I sit in the middle, I just feel uncomfortable.

I also commit what I read into God's hand. He is the one that blessed me with the brain, so I always ask Him to help me understand better.[/color]

It's funny that I can relate with 90% of your reading style/culture. Despite leaving the Uni some 9 years ago, I can still recall I did most of all you highlighted up there. Very sure reading recipe!!!

Africans need to start producing our own software and stuff that will be more tailored towards us. These people, in their design considerations, think more of themselves than any other race. That is no problem at all. It is just a wake up call for us to be more creative too. So don't let us just play the blame game, let's get serious.

I think Union bank is downsizing. I heard from a senior friend yesterday that he also got his forceful retirement letter on Friday. He would have been due for retirement in 2 years or so, having put in almost 30 yrs in Union bank. Yes he spent almost thirty years out of the statutory 35 years. He counted himself lucky to have stayed that long in the volatile banking sector. The good thing for him is that he has an appreciable number of real estate investment which can sustain him.

A lesson for us all, start planning your retirement as soon as possible. I can understand with the OP though since he was just recruited into the bank.

It depends on industries and your career path/role. As an engineer who work in project based organization, you are rated based on the number and size of projects you have handled. Changing job within the industry can be of great help in terms of exposure to varieties of projects.

Moreso, in such industries, you won't really get much pay increase if you stay with one company. Moving to another organisation can earn you as much as 100% salary increase in addition to the new exposure you get. While staying in a place may only fetch as little as 10% salary increase per annum.

Albeit, it suffices to say one should spend the first five (5) years in an industry where you can learn very well and become an authority in your field, to an extent, before moving to a new company. Then two(2) years interval between subsequent move should be okay.

We are busy pursuing foreign countries to buy our crude yet we deny local refineries (WRPC, PHRC and KRPC) of crude. An easy way out of this mess is to allow our refineries to work and strive to allow private refineries to spring up. Instead of selling crude, we are better of refining and selling the excess products to neighboring countries. That's what a forward thinking country should do. But then, ours is not a forward thinking one.

Lil, over 10% of the students have first class...Is that really a school ?

First class is an elite position, not a position anyone can reach.

You need to read the post again.

loomer:
Nigeria wahala too much, everybody go de form say na dem go sch pass, if him hand over on 28 mean say buhari na president na, no be formality be the swearin in?

Oath taking and swearing aren't formality, they are constitutional requirements. Handing over is a necessary but not sufficient condition for being the president , according to the constitution. So handing over, swearing-in/oath of office taking makes the sufficient condition.

The implication is; If GEJ hands over on 28th May to GMB but GMB dies (God forbid) before swearing in, then the VP elect becomes the president. If both President and vice-president elect die before swearing-in, INEC would have to conduct another election. That is what the constitution says.

Why the May 28th handing over? And more suspecting is that; why is it planned to be a dinner? I'm just curious.

Nice to read from a fellow piping engineer. This is an area that is not well pronounced among upcoming engineers. I blame this partly on the inadequate information on this field right from undergraduate study. It is interesting to know that one get good grasp of design when involved in piping engineering or pressure vessel task.
