I have no problem with this. She has a husband that refused to attend her wedding. Hehe.

It vibrates? Please tell us about it. The first poster should have been smart enough to point this out.

Why are you afraid that the third mainland bridge is going to be ripped apart?

I see myself full of charm and courage, ambition and success. I see myself being acknowledged internationally.

That is called Underemployment and i am sure that figure is in the high 60%.

They don't want to create their own jobs and they are not satisfied with the jobs that others have created for them. I call it wanting something for nothing, otherwise known as unrealistic expectations. Nobody owes you a job.

Instead of spending more time in the artificial environment of the university, why not spend more time in the real world learning what you really need in order to be relevant in the industry? If you're the kind that looks for a job, just get certified in the languages of choice. If you're willing to create your own job, just get Internet access and start downloading, reading and practicing relevant materials round the clock. That's what I do, anyway.

I hope to one day contribute programmatically to open source projects mainly apache, of which i've been a major beneficiary,

How do you hope to make money to provide for your family? Shouldn't that come before hobbies?

Maybe you could promote the existence of money ritual things

There are people already doing this. In Nigeria they are called "movie directors".

It may be that most of these job-seekers are employed but are not necessarily earning the salary they desire.

When I saw your face, I died and went to heaven. When I saw your backside, I came back as a man. I believe!  

ToyM28, you're the only suya in my garri, the only kponmo in my pepper soup.

I'd like to know why you think we need Mcdonalds to compete with our indigenous fast food joints.

I'll never understand why Mr. Biggs in Otta only stocks vanilla ice-cream.

Your girlfriend is a cultist, seriously? Sorry o. In what school?

I don't think I did much to save money. I used to eat at a place in new buka where good food was quite cheap.

I have always wondered how unemployment can be high in a country like Nigeria where barriers to business have not yet been set up (the politicians haven't had time). In fact, I'm happy to inform you that the unemployment rate in Nigeria is very low.  The estimated unemployment rate in Nigeria for the year 2005 was 2.9%.

For the sake of comparison:
- The unemployment rate in the UK: 4.70%
- The unemployment rate in the US: 5.10%
- The unemployment rate in South Africa: 25%!
- the unemployment rate in Nigeria: 2.90%

There are only 23 countries in the world whose unemployment rates are lower than Nigeria! (source).

So those of us that are still unemployed should stop complaining and start working.  Whether you are a househelp, a driver, a secretary, a farmer, a manager, an entertainer or a webmaster like me, all that matters is that you are contributing to the economy by producing something valuable to others.

And remember, the unemployment rate is very low, so please stop complaining about unemployment in Nigeria.  If you can't find a job, our business section has more info on how you can create your own.

There are many female fans in this section of the forum. Priscila is one. Who are the others anyway?

Some northern politicians, including the chairman and vice-chairman of MRDD, have progressive ideas that will help this country. They intend to focus on the welfare of the security forces and the liberalization of trade.  They spoke of technology transfer as being a more sensible step than banning of importation of rice and such. I like them.

As for IBB, Buhari or Atiku, for Nigeria's sake we should avoid voting for them or any of their supporters.

He didn't come back. This is tiring!

That'll be a rejection letter rejection rejection letter!

Warri, Port Harcourt? Not until the militants are contained!

What about true Nigerian jokes?
