You may be right in your experience. But I have seen 3 graduates of Engineering who got jobs without much efforts... Elect , Biomed and Computer Eng.respectively. It all depends on what you hold. Within 3 months, yes..you can learn the basic things, communicate and interact...with time, you will become perfect. There are some professions that do not require much talks or deep communications...you do not need to spend one year after graduation.

No thank you. I never spent a year looking for a job. I said my eyes have seen people looking for jobs and I quoted you saying that there are no jobs everywhere looking for people as you claimed. Because I have seen people looking for job, attending interviews and hoping and praying, my former Indian flatmate inclusive with a degree in engineering and many others I personally have seen. People get it, yes but bottom line is its not as smooth as you presume

lobito007:

My goodness!!! You have come to troll this thread too with your negativity and message of pessimism after you were banished from the German visa thread for the same reason. I BIND YOU!!! Why do you only always have the bad situations to cite. Why is it that you have ing.

My friend get out and get lost. I was bind by German thread for doing what? By whom and for what and when was that? I have never for any reason recieved a ban on nairaland on any section. Stop dreaming. I am known for telling the truth and opening people's eyes to the fact that making it here is not instant it takes time and comes with challenges. I say stories based on what my eyes has seen and not someone claiming and claiming they got a job paying thousands of euros meanwhile they are here doing minimum wage jobs. Keep wallowing in your delusion and don't ever mention me.
I just checked you have not even stepped your feet here and you somewhere else assuming. Just so you know its graduate job I am talking about not menial jobs.

awelekiti:
No objection bro, you've said it all. I was wondering why nobody had ever mentioned Germany as one of the promising destinations for students. I can count at least 3 of my brother's friends who studied and stayed back there with sound jobs. The entire EU, including UK depends on Germany for technological and manpower development. Jobs are looking for people there.

I shouted when I got to your post. Wow! You are definitely not well informed. I am in Germany and I can say without a doubt that jobs are not looking for people the way you stated it. A vacancy comes up and there are people who apply for it even with their qualifications they hope and pray to get the job. No job placement is guaranteed. I have personally met German citizens who are graduates travelling from state to state to find jobs. The good for them is while searching government pays them u employment benefits. We are not even of talking of foreigners who have searched and searched and are forced to take up another Masters or try another country. Its may take time to finally get a job and you need to keep applying and being positive. That's off course when you have a good grade, experience, and of course good command of the language.
Then you talk about learning Deutsch in 3 months! guy what are talking about? In 3 months you only learn very basic level 1 Deutsch you need more time, years to speak deutch confidently with less mistakes.

ZUBY77:
You are right.

The idea of hunting for useless certificates is the reason why we are not growing.
I have carefully read and observed the economic evolution of China and I plan to write a book on it in due time.
But I will give out a few hints here.

These people called the Chinese found out how useless Certificates would have made their economy if everyone went for it. They found out because those who acquired the certificates couldn't find jobs. (Same thing that is happening in Nigeria)

They found out that the ego chasing certificate people didn't want to provide the basic needs of their ever growing population. For that reason, they started pulling half brilliant people from schools and sponsoring them to different countries to learn vocational works such as sewing, baking, mechanized farming etc.
Only highly brilliant people were encouraged to continue with Medicines, technology and law studies.

Two decades later, they started recalling those they sent out. They even went to the extent of punishing or even killing those who refused to return.
Those that returned were sponsored to open small factories to start production on whatever they learnt.

They started employing their people and one decade later, each factory gave birth to many more. The spread began there from there.
This programme was replicated in almost every sector ; Agriculture, clothes, shoes, building materials, blacksmithing, woods/carpentry and many more.
Today, with the help of constant electricity, there are millions of small factories all over the place.

That was how the revolution began.

But today, in my Country, every half Illiterate wants to become a banker, an oil worker, a doctor, a lawyer etc.
They want to sit in one office with air condition and western styled suits, just to gloat over others that they went to one University or the other.
They forgot that doctors, lawyers and bankers eat everyday, wear cloths everyday, etc. Who provide all these things?

It's not yet late because the journey ahead is still forever. If we start today, we can become a China in 30 years time.

So, if you know your results in schools are not encouraging, If you know you are not that brilliant, stop forcing yourself to become a doctor, you can only harm people.

Brace up yourself, search for what you can do, go as low as possible to learn it, apply whatever unique talent you have inside you to make it different, and before you know it, you are successful. The word here is successful, not rich.
Like Igbo traders do, bring in people to learn from you, settle them when they are done, they will bring in more people to teach. In 30 years, half of Nigerians will have jobs. Agriculture will be booming, shoes, clothing, even technology will spread.
Without trying to be tribal here, if other Tribes in Nigeria can adopt the Igbo style of bringing apprentice and training them, Nigeria will become mega productive in a few years.

Let us not focus on the crappie WAEC results we post here every year about how Anambra or Imo is better than Kogi or Osun.
The truth is that 98% of those with that results will end up as workers in one company or bank or anything else that contributes only tax money to the economy. Tax money is not what we need, we need economic revolution that can only be obtained through small factories, agriculture etc.

Finally, I want us to know that someday in the future, electricity would become stable in Nigeria like it is in many countries, and we need to be ready by then.
The rogues holding us down will all die someday and things will change.

If you are a ghost worker, getting paid for what you don't work for, always remember you are a thief.

Lalasticlala or seun, please this needs to go to the home page.

1million likes. Germany is what it is today because every job, every skill, every vocation you learn is important. Less of their citizens end up in universities and the others who don't are highly skilled with modern up to date technology.

Hey guys!
There is this lady on Nairaland she is good at tracing scammers. The screenshot is below. You can try reach her or post on any thread you find her moniker. I believe it will help

Anabell2:


done

thanks

Dear Anabell please try if you can locate this female scammer. I have read many threads on scams but this woman's own is off the hook. Taking people hard earned money amounting to millions of naira and vanishing into thin air.

OYIBN:
Rather than being emotional let us be analytical in our posting. Without Toyin's backing, a well known actress, such huge amount of money would not have been raised. Why would Mayowa's family be hiding where they were taking her after funds were raised. First it was US then Dubai. It is from the police we now learnt it is South Africa. Aramide would not have taken Mayowa to LUTH if the family was open about the full details of the travel arrangement for treatment. How many people badmouthing Toyin and Linda lkeji knew the lady was to be taken to South Africa while the drama lasted.Let us be careful as celebrities may not lend their names to raising funds for the sick in future. Having raised funds for Mayowa it is very clear her family did not want usage of the funds monitored. l am happy the police have stepped in and are monitoring the funds.

You are the wisest person I have read from on Nairaland. I wish everyone will see thing this way

cococandy:

You hunt? Wow.

Talking of goat meat. Funny story. I tried to make a goat meat buddy. It didn't go well. Invited the guy a few times to come share meals with us especially during the holidays. He's from Ghana and was always complaining about how he missed African cooking. So I'd make egnow.

I know the feeling. The shop I can get goat meat sells without the skin and its not roasted by fire like in Naija. I am still looking for where I can get the real deal not minding that 8 pieces of goatmeat costs 5€. I miss snails so much, I have not been able to see it to buy and fresh Periwinkles too

That's a tour bus. Its used by tourist while on a vacation for sightseeing. Its a normal thing abroad

I took my time to read this story. From my observation the girl wasn't charmed:
""As I always did I called Blessing when I woke up that morning to alert her that I was awake and she could come to the main house (she stayed in the bq) but I noticed that her phone was switched off. She later came in and I asked""
They slept and woke up and she ran away with the money. Then at what time did she run into the jazz people? During her sleep? If the money she stole was much I won't doubt if she has used part to bribe the police as well. Her sister shouting on the OP that she ruined her shows that they are working together.
And for those who didn't read she was employed in December 2015 while this incident happened in March. All within a space of 4 months of hiring a total stranger into your home.

His book 'Opposites attract' was very informative and helpful. It helped me in understanding my partner better .

What is gries? I'm running out of Garri and the thought of driving all the way to texas to buy it gives me toothache. six freaking hours. At this point, i'll take any worthwhile substitute. Even well grounded sand.

Here it is. I don't feel the difference between it and garri plus its lighter on the stomach.
@ Unlikum I have tried kartofel puree I didn't like it at all

My people make una wash hand join me Ogbono soup cooked with bitter leaf, dry fish, shaki and cowleg. I made Gries as swallow. Garri Na gold for Deutschland

Prepared small fried rice with fried crocker fish. I threw in green beans, sweet peppers, shrimps, carrots and sweet corn.

GAZZUZZ:
It is you not a friend.

You were warned before travelling.

I have no pity for people like the OP's friend. When you tell them the hard truth about life outside Nigeria they feel you are an enemy.He preferred to listen to People and his agent who painted rosy pictures of Dubai instead. Now reality has hit him.

OMG! You guys are damn funny

Nyceguy92:
Let me react to some responses here, hoping the OP will see it:

To those blaming the man for getting a dirty lady pregnant, I will say that pregnancy has nothing to do with the issue at hand.
She could have gotten pregnant before they stayed/lived together.

"Put it in prayer" is hardly a solution to a real problem such as this.
One response advised as above plus cooking her meals and washing her clothes and buying her new ones...
I am like...seriously...for an adult female and mother.

I will definitely flow with those who said the man was not under compulsion to marry her.
What good is a woman who sends her child to school dirty, allows her toilet to go brown from white, can't keep the house clean?
I frown at such habits when I go to other people's houses, much more marrying the person.. It is a red flag for me.

But I believe that if the lady has some other good qualities the trait of being dirty can be corrected. I am still teaching my man how to hang his clothes and not fling them all over the place. He is getting better at it. So also is he teaching me some things I am deficit in. You don't throw away the baby with the bath water. No one is perfect. You can tune your partner the way you want them to be.

Please guys I have been thinking of a way to make indomie noodles without the spice because it contains MSG (mono sodium glutamine*) which is not good for ones health. Is there any spice besides that which I could use to prepare it and still get a nice taste?

blank:
Wonder why she accepted. She wanted UK to stay now she will be masterminding how they leave. How do you lead what you don't believe in?

I am just as confused as you are

Omoluabi16:
Did he fly first class or economy class? Very obvious there are some very powerful people in the north, who not only encourage pedophilia,but abduction of christian girls/forceful conversion.
I weak for this country.

My brother even if he flew economy, where did he get the money from? This is a guy that was a mere mai ruwa, Hawking water around before driving a keke Napep. I am afraid this guy has major sponsors. There may be more of him out there. His income cannot afford him a flight ticket and the well starched brocade that he is wearing. His own father even claimed that he was a houseboy

Amazing structures. I saw this kind of structures in Liepzip Germany. It was fascinating.With this pictures I am definitely visiting Italy soon. I believe I can get nice clothes at a affordable prices there. Italy, the fashion headquarters of the world.

Why not show her how you want her to clean up and do the chores together? Bit by bit she will start adjusting. If this woman has other qualities you like I don't think you should leave her because of this.

And to think that government allocates huge funds to run the prisons, yet this ogas at the top are obviously sharing the money for their pockets and leaving the prisoners to their fate. That is why the warders are having a filled day exhorting money from inmates because they know that their ogas cannot caution them.

Nothing is sexier than seeing a Black woman who wears her natural hair!

Wearing a natural hair is healthier because she's not destroying her hair scalp with toxic chemicals!

I would recommend to every Black woman to watch a documentary called, Good Hair by Chris Rock.

Please be a darling and put the link to the video. I have searched YouTube and I couldn't get it

ItelorunFarms:
My sister, I've just joined this forum and am very impressed by your entrepreneurship. Bless you...would have liked to do a one on one but I'm not allowed tonask for your details. So, I'll ask my questions here. I'd rather store my onions here in the south unless I have the contacts you have up there. How can I access such safe storage up north.

Read the whole thread. She is a fraud. For your own good stay away from her

I also had my big chop in January. I can't believe I am team natural. I have always used relaxers all my life. Now I shampoo, condition apply styling gel and normal gel than I get fairly good curls. I think i need to get a deep conditioner. I have read much about it here.
