congratulations to us especially to my grand
mother who planted the seed of education in my life.

I want to use this medium to appreciate God Almighty for his grace upon my life, and also to my grand mother who through her relentless effort propelled me with her words of knowledge and emotional supports to achieve this great task of pursuing my education to this Master's degree level.

I am using this means to show appreciation by saying "Thank You" for the entire world to see. I pray to have a better job and really take good care of you before you join ur ancestors.

lastly I have also dedicated my dissertation to you because ur intellectual contribution in the making of my chapter 2 and 4 can never be forgotten. She was not oppurtuned to attend a formal sch but she is well educated traditionally of which she encompasses to me.

Thank You Ihuma Jim George.

Ur beloved Son, Ajemina Lawson. ( B.A, M.A )

nice gesture. Are you from Rivers state?

Please fellow Nairalanders, I'm very confused now. I just concluded my ND in SLT and I've got 2 admission offers to either study Microbiology in my HND for 2 years or B.Tech in Public Health for 4 years restarting from 200level in a renowned Nigerian University.
I'm really confused, which should I go for and how lucrative/effective is studying Public Health in Nigeria?
Please, your contributions are needed and I also need enlightenment about issuing out B.Tech for a health related course. Thanks in anticipation for this kind prospect.

I adviced that you should take public health over MCB. Some NGOs and FMCG coys prefer public health practitioners.

I am an ijaw man, and one thing about the ijaw is that they ar people after GOD's heart that is why everywhere you found ijaw you will see oil resources, they recognised these GODS blessings so they dont credit it to themselves, but nigerians always seeing them as stupid, they hv the ability to stop oil flow and the whole yoruba land will go hungry bcs they dpnd on oil revenue, but we won't do that, we love everyone, thesame yorubas introduce land use act, just for the oil, one thin the yorubas dont know is that you dont force some one to collect what he has, that is stealing, if truely u worship gods of justice u wil know this. Now let me expose what the god of justice told the ijaws, "your enimies will give up ur food bcs it burns in the heart" ijaw people ar not greedy but greedy ppl wil soon take food frm their own mouth. 25% derivation will favour ijaw so as an yorubaman your children wil hate you, what if your children realized that your greed made the ijaws to have 100% of their resources.

let them say whatever they like. the Ijaws stand tall no matter the opposition. Asawana #we rise.

Good gesture pocohantas. Any gift will be deeply appreciated.

Hello Fellow Nairalanders...

I'd like to know your opinion on which course(MASS COMMUNICATION OR ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERARY STUDIES) is good for the labour market and good as a course overall


THANKS...

mass communication is better in terms of opportunities in the labour market.

NewJ6322:
Which one is better

medical lab tech is better. I will advice you to choose MLT or SLT over MCB. This is Nigeria.

Every week I get several questions from Nigerians wanting to know more about Cameroon. One question stands out. Do you have stable electricity? After my response to a nairalander who wanted to know about electrical stability and life in general, I felt I will replicate the essay on a thread for others to read and get insights on the basics. My write up is far from being a perfect essay on Cameroon but it sure gives some insight.

Cameroon has its problems like most African countries. Unlike Nigeria we have only known two leaders after independence. Ahidjo a Muslim for 22years and Paul Biya a Christian for 38 years. A country of 25 million for a land mass exactly half the size of Nigeria (475.000sqm), life for the most part is stable. A very peaceful and safe country untill much recently. The minority English speaking Region which makes up one fifth of the country has been fighting to secede.

An ideology sponsored by some of its elite living abroad, it has brought much of the English speaking regions to its knees. Armed secessionist fighters of the English Speaking region the most part stark illiterates, have targeted school children and other English speaking Cameroonians with opposing views. The end results have been horror on those living in the English speaking regions, from both an over zealous and callous army and the brutal seccesionist fighters. Scary right? Lol

That said only parts of the English speaking region has been affected. The main towns are somewhat secured. Still the area has become a shadow of it's once vibrant self. If you had asked me to tell you about Cameroon before 2016 October you would have been so impressed at all fronts.

The French speaking area which makes up the most part of the country is relatively stable and safe at this point. I live in Douala, a town of about 3.5 million people. It is the economic capital of Cameroon. A fast paced town but nothing compared to Lagos. The traffic in lagos is mind freezing. Lol

The town of Douala like most towns in Cameroon has a sizable expatriate population of Nigerians, most involved in different business activities. The rule the vehicle spare part business. The are also heavily involved in electronics and house hold items. Same is true for Yaounde the political capital.

In English speaking towns like Bamenda Nigerians own three quaters of the stores in the main market. Heavily involved in the sales of cosmetics, shoes, and clothing. In Kumba another English speaking town that has been heavily affected by the secessionist crisis Nigerians own the market.Lol Involved in almost every aspect from cosmetics , building materials to food stuff. There is this funny story of when the Kumba market picked flames a few years back. It is said several Nigerian merchants bothered not trying to rescue their goods. The were more bothered safe guarding their juju pots hidden at different corners of their shops..Lol

Same is true for other English speaking towns like Tiko and Limbe with a huge Naija population. The majority of these merchants are of Igbo origin often betrayed by their accent. Lol It has been rumoured that when immigration officers come checking for residence permit, unable to tell who is a Nigerian the do ask each suspect what is the sum of 15+15. Whoever says THARTY instead of THIRTY is a Naija...Lol That said many have lived in Cameroon for so long or where born here making them blend easily.

In many riverine communities you will find Nigerians from Oron, Ifik and Ibiobio involved in fishing. In other areas like Muyuka they are involved in farming. Generally most French speaking Cameroonians refer to every Nigerian as Biafrans..Lol Interestingly I have never seen a Yoruba man in Cameroon. I have met just one Hausa; a tailor.

Cameroon has stable electricity. Infact very stable electricity. Hydro electricity the main source is generated from a dam in the river Sanaga. Recently another hydro power was built. Let me put it this way, for over a year and more I have had non stop electricity 24/24 from ENEO the electricity company.

While still heavily involved in Business I visited Lagos a few years back with the hope of locating my car Business there.I opened a thread to that effect on Nairaland that made front page. How people survive in Lagos gives credit to evolution. Life is so fast paced, so insecured, generators fighting with each other. I dont think my kids have seen a generator. That's to let you know how stable electricity is in Cameroon. We have our problems but electricity aint one of them nor is hunger.

Cameroon is known as Africa in miniature and that is for good reason. The country is so varied and diverse. French and English as official languages. Divided into ten regions the anglophones are based in two. A twisted tale of how the country was seized from Germany after World war one and given to both France and Britain to administer as trusteeship.

The smaller English West Cameroon was administered as part of Nigeria by the English and East Cameroon by the French. However by 1961 a plebescite by the UN for independence gave West Cameroon the option of joining Nigeria or East Cameroon which had obtained independence in 1960 from France. The overwhelmingly voted to join East Cameroon to form the Federal Republuc of Cameroon.

The scrap of the Federal Republic system in 1972 has since become the root cause of the present crisis and infigting.The English speaking region now claims the rights and freedom to their legal system and learning enshrined in the original federal act has been compromised since becoming a Republic in 1972.. The anglophones argue they have been marginilised for too long and need to form their own country Ambazonia.

Cameroon is made up of 250 different tribes and local dialects, whilst some areas are so cold others are a burning furnace. The North is made up of millions of Muslims and the South Christians; in same proportion. Despite this diversity we dont have the kind of ethnic enemity and Religious hatred I see on nairaland. In my 41 years I have never heard of a religious killing in Cameroon. Mosques and churches line thesame street. That is the glory of being a Cameroonian.

quite impressive, how about cost of accommodation in the cities.

diagetus:
Can someone clarify for me the historic difference between Calabar and Kalabari in terms of European settlement? Was "Kalabari" a term given to the people in Rivers State before europeans settled in "Calabar" near Cameroon? Were the Efik in "Calabar" before the "Kalabari"?

the term kalabari was used by the colonial masters to describe a coastal area in Rivers state. Kalabari literally means "New Calabar" it was given so because Calabar was a popular settlement for the Englishmen.

You just dropped it as it is

hello Binaowei, i would like to chat with you. Are you are in PH?

chatinent:
For sb who wants a second degree and can only do part-time, which will you suggest between these options:


1. School in a Federal university nearby for Business Administration?


2. School in National Open University for Law?


... where the person only wants Business Administration or Law?



Additionally, can sb explain NOUN to me? Is it normal as any other school?

Is the cert. okay?

the question is : do you wish to go to law school thereafter? last time I checked, Noun students don't go to law school.

PHijo:
Well, the only African that has won miss World is an Ijaw woman so there is no way anyone can deny their beauty. I wouldn't marry an Igbo woman despite their numerous proposals.

I prefer Ijaw women, after Ijaw women my second preference in Nigeria are Yoruba women.

There was no way on earth the Aro could have influenced Ijaw. To start with, Aro became 'Igbo' not too long ago. It was a trade outpost used mostly by Ibibio and Ijaw traders. Initially it was prominent for slave trade and later oil palm trade.

The truth may be bitter but it is the truth, we are truly not on the same level. If comparison is being made you Igbo would be compared with your Hausa compatriots and not us. I wonder where you were when we had Nigeria's 1st SAN, 1st indigenous journalist etc. That you Igbo abused your position in the defunct eastern region shouldn't get into your head.

I am a PH guy like you bro, what you say is the
truth.

I applied for a content officer job in Tunde Bakare's Church as a Content Officer, i saw the job application online and applied and was selected for the online interview, was told to come tommorow...I'm just wondering ,do churches employ graduates too...pls help me understand, because my friends are telling me to go for it

Go for it bro, be nice and humble, someone there may like your personality.

there is a letter I read years ago which the minority groups students association wrote to Gowon during the war stating their rejection of Biafra.
