Everybody deserves a second chance.

An international scholarship is not a second chance. It's a reward.


I know a girl studying Electrical Engineering at a federal university.
She is on a consistent 5.0. She is in 300 level right now and has never gotten a B, ever.

She is also a devoted church worker.

If you need her contacts, I can give you so that we can give her a scholarship.

You are not in any position to decide what count as reward or 2nd chance.
The girl had sex which everybody does.
She didn't leak the sex tape, someone else did. Just to humiliate her.
I'm sure your 5.0 elect Engr student had never been humiliated in such manner b4.
Her own reward will come, it's not for u to decide that either.

Nigerians and hypocrisy...see them criticising and hyperventilating a girl they've probably self service with her sex video.

Thank God buhari returned to rule this country as a civilian president....
Or else his followers and fellow ignorant Nigerians won't let us rest. You will be hearing things like 'Only buhari can kill corruption and make our economy like Dubai'. I heard that nonsense while growing up.

I've never seen a leader as incompetent and ignorant like buhari. He has no idea how to run a cattle farm not to talk of a nation. He lacks any iota of leadership quality or managerial capability. No wonder his cows never increased beyond 10 for 20 good years.

The massive looting going on right under Buhari's nose will make Abacha convulse violently even in death. The lack of any meaningful economic policy has turned nigeria into poverty capital of the world.

His unrepentant supporters continue to shamelessly give excuse, while buhari's ministers mercilessly bleed the dying economy n cashing out big time.

The truth is Nigerians don't have a president. The seat of presidency is as good as empty. Those in the corridors of power are very much aware of this and thats why they loot with impunity and without fear.

Tinubu who forced an economic illiterate on Nigerians will never apologize, rather he's planning on how to take over in Aso rock and make bullion van transport to his ikoyi residence official and regular.

If I'm a buhari supporter, what I'll be doing right now is propagating the Jubril impostor story. I will claim the man in Aso rock isn't the buhari I campaigned and voted for. At least that will explain why the nation is on auto cruise.

Junk journalism....
Mixing up naira with dollars...
There are so many things wrong with this country.

johnmartus:
If Nigeria had look like Canada or new zealand would you still blame lugard?

Nigeria was never designed to look like canada or new zealand...
wake up, this is 2020. whites will never develop a place they have no intention of calling home.
That's why they didn't develop nigeria but developed canada, australia, new zealand and to some extent south africa.
Lord Lugard should never be applauded, he had no business creating a nation without the consciousness and approval of inhabitants within the territory.

Onlinesmart:
Nyanmiri, why are you so obsessed with Tinubu and Yoruba in general? They swear for you and your ilks ni? Are you that jobless and shameless to be trolling people that doesn't give a damn whether you exist or not. Na you dey jump bus to our region everyday. You and your tribe are a disgrace to humanity. People hate you but you won't avoid them rather you want to die and be buried in our region. Something ain't right with igbos mentally.

Zohariel is Yoruba and intelligent one at that...
Not all Yoruba youth visit Tinubu's house to beg for money....
I'm Yoruba and I also stand against Tinubu...
He's greedy, selfish and lacks conscience....
If he's the best Yoruba has to offer come 2023, then the presidency should go to other regions in the south.....

U accuse her of not being religious....
But u dey knack her steady n even complain she's rejecting your sexual advance...
Nigerian men no go taya person...with their hypocrisy n double standard......
U only missing the couchie, nothing more...
Unfortunately, the girl don carry am go give a better bidder.....

okeyglm:
let them not confuse you people. Nigeria bitumen is of low grade quality hence can not be use as asphalt.

Can't the bitumen be refined to meet quality standard....
And looking at the sorry state of our roads...I really don't see the superior quality of this imported bitumen...
Except u want to tell me they are built with bitumen produced in nigeria....

Tinubu has spoken...

Correct headline should be TINUBU approves bus fare increase by 46%

Abagworo:
Hologram is the only thing worth clapping for. Position of lens is nothing spectacular

Abi....they can't even achieve non contact phone charging...
I guess the whole mobile tech industry is lacking in innovation at the moment....

castrokins:
Confusion Is What You Get When You Have A Figure Head And Pseudo President Who Cannot Address The Country He's Leading. Buhari Doesn't Know Anything About Magu's Travails.

Nigeria has finally entered one chance with this buhari regime...

He wasn't the only Yoruba soldier that fought on the biafrans side during the civil war...
Others are
Wale Ademoyega
Ganiyu Adeleke..
Fola Oyewole.

Skymoore1004:
Bro no laugh me abeg.
Country wey dey commot European Union because dem wan reduce immigrants and other factors, go come better for Africans post brexit? What a joke.
Is like saying Nigerians willing to accept people from chad or Cotonou, after asking Ghanaians to leave . No laugh me Abeg. U.K. only willingly accepts so many african applicants, because they need their tuition and for them to do the odd jobs that their people will usually not do.
How many times you don hear say person get tier 2 work from Nigeria except from nurses & doctors? They don’t need unnecessary nigerian graduates that won’t add value to their system fam. Just carry your degree dey go when you finish

Quite a lot of IT professionals also receive tier 2.....
Uk is good for tech guys...pay is also not bad. However, I'll advice a nigerian IT guy to work remotely which is better. Earn in foreign currency n spend in naira.

If u can break into financial or consulting sector, that's also cool. But it's highly competitive n u have to be good.

What I will discourage is someone coming here to do masters and paying all that expensive school fees in a non medical or non IT course...
That's a big no for me.

Agroblessing:
Justwise
I really do want to know if the UK is a "no-go-area" like people on here are potraying it. Did you think it's not worth the time, money and effort.
A first hand advise is needed
I'm thinking of leaving via
- family visa
-study visa
-or startup visa

If u not in the medical field or into IT- these are the 2 jobs in demand right now in uk....
I'll advise u to try ireland or canada....
U can also consider central or northern europe- high standard of living and good pay irrespective of job.
Australia is also a good option, if u don't mind the distance.
USA will always be a solid option, but just know there's nothing like the american dream anymore. Na rat race and the winner takes it all.
All the best.

I just hope this guy wasn't into internet scam b4 coming into politics because his source of wealth remain a mystery.
Dino really needs to be careful. Hushpuppy is already down and wouldn't mind striking a deal with FBI just to reduce his sentence.

baby124:
Ok. Bring proof that you are not a paid puppet. Ask your father in law if he made all those investments from his salary. NNPC employees and reknowned thieves. Their mates in the home countries of these companies cannot boast of such investments. If all these people were investigated do you think they will come out unscathed?

Where else would he have gotten his money embezzling private funds in total
I don't need to proof anything to u, everybody is free to believe whatever feed their fantasy.....
My post is to butress the fact it's possible for snr staffs in oil company to own house abroad.....

Yeah, I agree nnpc staffs are thieves....
But the recent nnpc audit really opened my eyes to the earning of nnpc directors.....
Some pull as much as 180 million naira per year....
Don't underrate the oil industry, there's crazy money in that sector....


Watch deola's expose on recent nnpc audit. Start from 09.00

baby124:
I know someone who was a huge oil company director in the US but can’t afford to buy a house in Lekki in Nigeria till he moved to Nigeria and became MD. Even then he’s paying the house off slowly. Please some of us actually know executives in the oil industry. He’s by far your senior and a bonafied oil executive.

My father in law retired as a snr engineer in total...
The man has 2 houses in Canada, one of them is a huge farmland....
If u see his house for port Harcourt...the thing be like hotel....
The man has numerous other houses in PH.
His colleague's house in same PH is a massive estate. His sitting room alone is a fully detached 1 storey building...
There's money in oil industry ..never underrate that sector at all.....
My own uncle bought an estate in Texas b4 he retired from NNPC.....

I have no doubt ajimobi can acquire all this assets as a retired oil company snr staff....
All these accusations are just witch hunting and chasing needless clout.....

Let's criticize him for his mediocre performance as gov. of Oyo state.....
His failure to build a world class hospital in the state...
Failure to transform the state into a true pace setter....
Not all these inconsequential paid smear campaign....

Exclusive101:
See the dust race this fool de post as achievement? A Osun built over 20 of this in Ogun n them no born him mama well make hr celebrate am ?

Can u just shut up...
Have u guys no shame....
Looking for trouble where there's none....

techmo:
Step into the real world and see, most firms don't need coding of project always, except for the likes of NASA, Google , Facebook etc

Most firms need an all-round IT guy

For instance a 5 star hotel (grand Excelsior/ Holliday Inn) Abu Shagara Sharjah in UAE offered a job for a MIS ERP design and implementation project that lasted less than 6 months and upon project completion the HR made it clear what their new IT needs are, and only offered Full Employment for few C.S guys why booting out the Indian coders

how much is average salary for programmers in dubai

salford1:
The Girl in white top is British though.

Yeah...I thought as much...
I was like don't I recognise british accent anymore...

Crispels:
Lol. What makes them crazy.

Attitude and being extremely independent.....
They are unpredictable n they don't take sh.it...
Also too much drama n they can be rude....

But they flow well with naija immigrant guys especially those ones in church.....
They don't have that snobbish attitude towards immigrants u wrote up there....

Generally they love life just like naija people at home....
They date naija guys if u guys connect n u fun loving kind of person....

smallsmall:
You said it all, with the bolded part of your post!
See ehn, l can cook more than my wife sef because l was raised cooking, by my Mum, right from when l was taller than the Stove!
And l just dont dump and mix ingredients, l have delved into the "Science of why some food taste better than others" and believe me, as good as my wife can cook, she admits that eating what l cook occassionally, makes her day!

But God forbid she says to me "If you can cook yourself, then you are not eating in this house" or l wake up and say to her "You have to add your own half to Children's Tuition".

We both have our roles in that house but th eother person can assist in your role, strictly by Choice.
I cook anytime l want to or have the time and l enjoy doing it during those times. As a DIY person, l like doing house chores (I can practically repair anything in the house, though l spoiled a few in the process, during my learning curve ) but it will really, really break the relationship if my wife ever insists l do something in the house! The operative word here is "INSISTS".

What l have come to understand is that the Women that enjoy marriage, are not necessarily th eones that have chains of degrees or earn $500,000 or have very long nails with tatoos all over their body, they are the women who know how to allow their husband take care of them, without insisting or pushing it as A DUTY.
If you love a woman/wife, you will do anything for her but how can you love a woman who has turned herself into a COMPETITOR in the family home? E nor dey work o.

If the bolded is true...then a lot of nigerian women will be enjoying there marriage....
Naija women even hand over their salaries to their husbands.....
Don't come here and paint a non existent rosy picture...
The report card of Nigerian men as husbands is below par....

madridsta007:
LOL.

I get many invites for dates and lunch and all that when I’m there for visits.
The OP is true. They are super ambitious, independent driven, quite rich and, in all cases I’ve seen, desperately want to settle down. I remember going for a wedding— I was still in the second year of my PhD— and this man, having realised that I was from his region in Nigeria, tried “selling” his daughters to me. Beautiful, exciting prospects.

But it was very clear. None of them would actually act as a “wife” when married. They had all the tendencies of bossing one, instructing and leading the man in the marriage.
And you can’t blame them. They need the marriage because, they really believe it is the “cool”’thing to do.
But they are not ready for what, Biblically and traditionally speaking, constitutes a “wife”.

OP stop whitewashing them and tell your readers the good and challenging aspects of these our lovely sisters.

What happened to nigerian American men.....
Or those ones no dey marry or na white women den dey follow....
At least the nigerian british girls marry their male colleagues very well here in uk...
Even though their own craze no be for here....

Austine1213:
Sub saharan african? Not by a lot shot

This is university of johannesburg

but seriously south africa is performing far below expectation....
With that level of infrastructures in their country, they should be competing with likes of south korea....
I understand the blacks had only been in power for 24 years but I believe they can do better....
I was shocked when I read the gdp per capita of south africa is 6,000 dollars...thats way too low for the most developed economy in africa.

Oga Boris never used a ventilator, his condition never became critical. He was carried to the hospital to be monitored in the ICU. If he was put in a ventilator his chance of survival wasn't going to be up to 7-10% whether with heavenly care

And who told u his case would have deteriorated to category 3 level if he was managed in a standard healthcare setting....
At least he's rich and can afford the best of healthcare.....
He will not be rationalized or side tracked....
I don't know his premorbid condition...but he never looked seriously sick......

This lockdown really exposed the folly of our politicians....
Their reliance on foreign hospital failed them.....

Abacha really tried to bring national hospital Abuja to world class standard.....
Possibly due to the sanction preventing him from seeking medical health abroad....
But the least his successors could have done was to ensure the hospital maintain that standard....
Instead they left it to rot.....
Running abroad for ordinary headache and ear infection.....
Thinking they left the dilapidated nigerian hospitals for the common man....

sweetsell:
Only a fool will ask such question.
Just so you know if you are yet to visit SA, it is beta developed than the like Hungry Austria even the UK. I will say only France and Germany are the main 2 countries beta developed than SA in Europe. That is the country you are comparing Nigeria that will never be developed till Jesus return with. Craz de your head.

Stop yarning dust....
If u ignorant about a topic, just shut up...

This man was one of Nigerian finest activist....
He unequivocally condemns evil irrespective of tribe, location or affiliation....

He stood for what genuine Yoruba activist are known for.....
before the era of TINUBU and his double mouth/ fair weather activists......

B3ACHSIDE:
I'm still in my 20s so my opinion on some issues are still evolving ,but at this time,based on my experience and outlook , I advocate universal culture..
.

Look here....
Its not about what's good for globalisation or global integration but what's good for a nation....
English is not the language spoken in most homes in Nigeria...and few Nigerians can express themselves confidently solely in english....graduates are no exception.....
Yet we expect students in our educational institutions to assimilate knowledge in a language they have a poor grasp....

There are numerous reason Africa is struggling....one of it is a poor educational system designed not to meet the local need of the continent....
Show me a developed and successful nation today with a foreign language as the medium of instruction or lingual franca.....show me just one...

Let me ask u a question....
A Nigerian bricklayer or an electrician's thought process is in what language....
Do u think he's thinking in English when at work?
Of course not...he's thinking in his own native language....
They analyse and overcome challenges in their line of work thinking in the native language.....
But if the same electrician wants to learn about electricity in our polytechnic, we will insist he must be proficient in english....
how does that help him....Ignorance and naivety is killing us....

Go to VI, Ikoyi...
most plumbers, electricians, bricklayers working on those luxurious high rise are from philipines, cambodia, thailand, china....
They can't even write their names in English....
Yet Nigerians will look down on our own artisans who cant speak proper English claiming they are not good enough....

BOOOMNAIJA:
They'll all die and follow their lousy xenophobic god, Nelson Mandela...bunch of asswipes lol

Some of your pictures are not nigeria...

Donald Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton has made a series of explosive claims about the US president in his new book The Room Where It Happened, according to numerous news reports and an excerpt.

Most notably, Bolton claims Trump asked China to use its economic power to help him in the 2020 election, and tried to kill criminal investigations as “favors” for dictators he liked.


The explosive allegations came after a White House lawsuit sought to block the publication of Bolton’s book. But ahead of its scheduled release next week it has now been leaked to the New York Times and Washington Post, which reported on some of the stunning claims. An excerpt also appeared in the Wall Street Journal.

Here are eight of the most shocking revelations:

1. Trump pleaded with China to help win the 2020 election
According to the excerpt of Bolton’s book published by the Wall Street Journal, Trump asked China to use its economic power to help him win a second election.

In one instance, Trump and President Xi Jinping were discussing hostility to China in the US. “Trump then, stunningly, turned the conversation to the coming US presidential election, alluding to China’s economic capability and pleading with Xi to ensure he’d win,” Bolton writes.

“He stressed the importance of farmers and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome. I would print Trump’s exact words, but the government’s prepublication review process has decided otherwise.”

2. Trump suggested he was open to serving more than two terms
In another eye-opening exchange published in the Wall Street Journal, Trump also seems to support Xi’s idea of eliminating presidential term limits. “Xi said he wanted to work with Trump for six more years, and Trump replied that people were saying that the two-term constitutional limit on presidents should be repealed for him,” Bolton writes. “Xi said the US had too many elections, because he didn’t want to switch away from Trump, who nodded approvingly.”

3. Trump offered favors to dictators
Bolton’s book reportedly details cases where Trump tried to kill criminal investigations as favors to dictators. One incident published in the Washington Post includes a 2018 discussion with the Turkish president, Recep Erdoğan. Bolton says Erdoğan gave Trump a memo claiming that a Turkish firm under investigation in the US was innocent. “Trump then told Erdoğan he would take care of things, explaining that the southern district prosecutors were not his people, but were Obama people, a problem that would be fixed when they were replaced by his people.”


4. Trump praised Xi for China’s internment camps
According to Bolton, Trump was also approving when Xi defended China’s internment of Uighur Muslims in detention camps. “According to our interpreter,” Bolton writes, “Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do.”

According to leaked Communist party documents published in November, at least 1 million Uighur Muslims are detained in the camps.

5. Trump defended Saudi Arabia to distract from a story about Ivanka
Trump made headlines in November 2018 when he released a bizarre statement defending the Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman over the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. It included lines such as “The world is a very dangerous place!” and “maybe he did and maybe he didn’t!”

According to Bolton’s book, making headlines was the point. A story about his daughter Ivanka using her personal email for government business was also in the news at the time. After waging war on Hilary Clinton during the 2016 campaign for doing the same thing, Trump need a distraction.

“This will divert from Ivanka,” Trump reportedly said. “If I read the statement in person, that will take over the Ivanka thing.”

6. Trump’s top staff mocked him behind his back
From what has been reported, it sounds like Bolton’s book provides one of the clearest insights into the despair of Trump’s top officials behind the scenes.

In one example given by the New York Times, Bolton claims he received a note from the secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, after Trump’s 2018 meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, simply saying, “He is so full of shit.” On top of this, Pompeo also allegedly said a month later that Trump’s diplomatic efforts with North Korea had “zero probability of success”.

7. Trump thought Finland was part of Russia
Bolton’s book reportedly details some giant holes in Trump’s knowledge. In one instance, Bolton says Trump didn’t seem to know basic knowledge about the UK, asking its former prime minister Theresa May: “Oh, are you a nuclear power?”. On top of this, he also alleges that Trump once asked if Finland was part of Russia, and repeatedly mixed up the current and former presidents of Afghanistan.

8. Trump thought it would be ‘cool’ to invade Venezuela
According to the Washington Post, Bolton claims Trump said invading Venezuela would be “cool”, and that the country was “really part of the United States”.

Why is China not having the same problem with Macau.
Hong Kong's recent problems is because it was administered by the British is if it wereto be in Portuguese there won't have any issue now.

U guys are just beating around the Bush...
Hong Kong people do not want to be part of China....
What's so difficult to understand....

China is setting a trap for itself with this Hong Kong issue.....
That tiny area may become their albatross if they are not careful....
I don't see why China can't wait till 2047 to assimilate Hong Kong lawfully.....
It's just 27 yrs away...I thought China play the long game. So why the hurry....
Now after Hong Kong...what's next...
Invade taiwan while the rest of the world applaud them?

China economy is not as solid and sound as it looks....
It's a shallow economy heavily dependent on export....
Their domestic economy is not well developed and the financial sector is not very sound....
They need to attain a GDP per capita around 25 thousand dollars for the domestic economy to be main drive of economy growth....now it's just 10 thousand dollars

If the rest of the world choose to decouple their manufacturing capability away from China.....china will really struggle....
Yet they are busy picking meaningless fights.....

China is not USA....they will be foolish to think they can project power in like manner....
China achieved its economic present status via promoting trade and investment....
That's why many countries see them as a better alternative to USA....
Xi Jinping will do well to desist from this aggressive but likely destructive part and seek advice from his predecessors.....
He may destroy the goodwill China once enjoyed.....

jaxxy:
U think there aren’t whites in Ethiopia or even helping them in the management of the airlines??

Yes Adesina issues isnt corruption I know bt sm politics and abit of ethics.

China deals with corruption especially the one that is destructive to the common good of National development bt here in Africa we don’t care our know what we shudnt tolreate. China willl sentence u to death if ur corrupt practice affects their development. No questions.

My point is Africa and Africans need to wake up.

Ethiopian airline is 100% owned by Ethiopian govt...
The key management people in executive position are all Ethiopians....
I thought u wrote somewhere that white men are not gods, so I wonder why u attributing EA success to white people....

China is only against corrupt practices that's detrimental to national development....
Chinese leaders give bribe n encourage unethical behaviour so long as the end goal is beneficial....
