Food and business....
Buy in bulk and resell...

It gives higher returns than stocks...
Christmas is coming...
Just buy rice and garri...

Resell at higher price....
As for garri it increases in price every January...

How do you stock garri ? Is it not going to spoil?

Hence the confusion if this was meant to be a technician level training essentially for those who desire practical hands on skill often times because all the reading is not their forte why then do they need further reading outside the university system.

Let me give you an example why they need further formal training to attend the masters level position. Let’s consider a plumber career in the US which is what I am familiar with, and I believe same is obtainable in Nigeria. Just that it’s a little watered down in Nigeria.

At the basic entry level, the plumber is trained to be competent in doing basic hands-on tasks. He is competent but still a novice. Remember that in any career, there are novice, intermediates and experts. Compared with a masters plumber, at this higher level, they have more responsibilities. For instance, a masters level technician plumber is trained to know building regulations, codes , interpretation of mechanical drawings, materials testing etc. All these require formal education and training beyond the entry level scope. Now you can see that 2 years of OND is not enough to cover all of these things.

The OND and HND distinction is responsible for problem. Why would a welder, plumber, carpenter, bricklayer, window installer, hair dresser, fashion designer, chef need more than 2 years training a lot even are work ready within a year.

There are Masters level technicians in most fields. They need more than 2 years of training and practice. Those ones have higher training other than the entry level training of OND. Ideally, there are different pathways to acquire the advanced knowledge, competency and recognition. The two most common are through more years of practice under a master technician or through additional years of school and internship like the HND program.
This is why OND and HND should be separate and in stages. .

greypencils:
That is why I travel light. Big boxes? Not me. As I land enter Nigeria, I dey public vehicle, blend in. You no go know nothing.

Exactly.

armyofone:
All those drivers outside as you are coming out are all registered ?

Na watin dey fear me pass be that. Too much disorder at that gate and too many of them. No one can tell me that many drivers there are all registered and monitored .

ijebosb:
If you are doing that, you are putting yourself in much more danger relative to what you are saving.
Not sure it's a wise strategy.

Those white and light blue taxis at the park are safer than airport taxis . Some of them have been there for decades and they have union.
Those airport taxis, the way they hustle for passengers, you might think they have other motives.

Walai:
Another nairaland billionaire. How much is airport taxi that someone who spent hours in airplane can't afford ? You think you will even get the strength after hours of seating in that damn plane?

I don’t care about what you think and I have no way of altering your mindset.
That is my own security strategy to confuse my enemy while also saving some money.
Lufthansa or Air France to Nigeria is 6 hours highest.

go for malaria check up

This moniker again. Long time no see!

hedonido:
This is mainly for local flights, especially when arriving at MM2. Some cheapskates with light luggage may choose to 'leg it' out of the airport to the road and hitch buses or whatever.

I'm not sure anyone who arrives at the international airport would consider that option. Ontop saving how much? Come on.

I have done it several times arriving with Lufthansa and Air France. But I know my way sha!

hedonido:
When last did you hear this sort of thing happen? The airport taxis are all registered with FAAN, same as Uber/Bolt if he used the latter option. So I'm not really sure.

How are you sure he patronized any of those options. Sometimes if you want to save some money, you could just walk outside the arrival and take regular kabu kabu. There so many of those hanging around that Ikeja area.
Also if you live very far, you could take a taxi to bus park and then find your way from there.

Mom007:
But did he lìe? Y do you hate truth?

This one don confirm sharp sharp.

Risingblue008:
China is 13yrs ahead of USA in terms of technology and infrastructures as of now,even bedridden biden confirmed it.
Go are those days when dey whr producin substandard goods.
Now see whr there are,they r ahead of the game,
While we dey here dey fight with
Ipob
Bandits whc offcoures are terrorist
Herders and farmers clash in almost all the states.

You guys just like to talk. Even this technology is patent in US since 1960.
As usual what China does is copying and mass producing.
Technology is not invented in factories but at well funded research institutions like Harvard, MIT , Stanford , Yale, an Tuft which the US has plenty of.
If you know what patents means, then you should give credit to the appropriate quarters.

They need to modernise the skill acquisition process and apprenticeship programs and I know Lagos state is doing this cos the current system is akin to slavery

The government needs to set up post secondary technical schools of 2 years followed by 1 year stipend paid apprenticeship.

This way even graduates can participate and become owners of business instead of looking for employment.

But that is what polytechnics were meant to do. There is no aspect of building construction that is not taught at the polytechnics. However, the quest for paper certificate has derailed people from that primary purpose and turned polytechnics into another theoretical school, instead of the technology and hands-on training approach. People now see polytechnics as prerequisite for post graduate diploma and then masters. Students no longer take the opportunity of industrial attachment programs to nurture skills on what they learned during OND or HND. Everyone just wants to mark the register and get the credit for graduation, rather than learning during IT.
In the US, there are community colleges where one can learn to be plumber, electrician, welding, mechanic , HVAC, etc. These blue collar jobs are becoming more lucrative these days. With the needed oversight and regulations, people who graduate from such programs are very competent in their specific jobs.

GreaterFuture:
Thanks for your replying.

So it's an extra of 12ft that will be added there, to the width?
72 by 100 ft for the full plot to still be full plot?

60 x 120ft is equal to 72 x 100ft

However , during construction, if the set back is say 20 ft.
On 60 x 120 you will lose 20 x 60 = 120sft
While on 72 x 100 you will lose 20 x 72 = 144sft of living area.

GreaterFuture:
Please help me with exact specifics on this land Measurement calculations and understanding:

if a land that's supposed to be 60 by 120Ft (that's what you were told you are buying) is now made less by 100 in the length, what amount should be added in the balance of the width to make up for the 20 feet less in the Length?
70 by 100? 80 by 100?

How much exactly?

Maybe you have to go by the area in square ft. Since the original measurement was 60 x 120 therefore the intended area would be 7200sft.
Now the new length is 100ft
Divide 7200/ 100 and you have the new width.
So your new width is 72 ft.
As we say in maths, everything being equal. In my opinion, you are on advantage here because a wider lot is often preferred.

This will go a long way to keep the lazy youths in that area engaged in sporting activities instead of crime.
But a hungry man cannot do sports on empty stomach.
Somebody is shouting ebi npa wa, you are building stadium for him.
What wickedness !

That Army flag during protest really terrified T-pain.

dongc:
You captured everything succinct...not long ago i was invited to speak to youths in my village about self sufficiency and helping oneself...many of these people are complaining diasporans AIN'T HELPING THEM.(everyone get their own problem)I asked them " How many have learnt trades like block making or painting even Masonry or even Carpentery,plumbing and require a equipment to start ...NONE ...MANY want cash to do one business or the other or keke or keke
bus or even Japa without a plan.

Unfortunately, are no long in that type of world. Every young man wants to drive a G wagon at 23 years like the footballers they see on social media. You draw their ears, they call you Jew man or mugs. But they want to be like you now. How can you be a big man and be telling them to go do hard work . They forget that hard work is not hard life.
Recently, I gave a young boy 100k and in a few weeks he came back asking for more. When I asked what happened to the money, he said he lost it in betting. I didn’t know whether to cry, advice or curse him. I just blocked his number.

Most of them will hate you for telling them the truth, people don’t like being told the truth.
Personally, the only ones I help are very few that I have observed from a distance.

It comes with old age. Most older adults have hearing loss.
You can use hearing aid.

This one go just open mouth dey vomit thrash. The Yorubas I know which you are trying so had to impress do not talk like that to their elders. No matter what, they still reserve some respect to them

Golan007:
How many kilometres of road did Obi service in Anambra state?

Abi no be the roads Soludo dey pave in his state?

Everybody out of power is a James Bond.

I will save this your post. Tomorrow, when Soludo ( and Igbo man) decides to contest for President, which he would, you lots will still say he did nothing in Anambra .

A whole DPO. Death is not a respecter of man

U r mouthed.

Surgery donations go soon large now. She'll be flown to invincible india and boom tumor will be gone.

Tumor stops her frm doing her AI skits but allowed her to flow with the boy. Tumor seems to be selecting her skit style. 😂

That would be OBT., She has to be very careful.

Let it not be cash out scheme . This economy is not smiling.

This is beautiful. I have seen other excellent artwork jobs on your profile. It’s not a bad idea to have a portfolio of your works in one place. Just open a thread and upload the images on there. Trust me, prospective clients would go through your profile before engaging you.
Good luck.

Toh!

What is not collapsed in Nigeria under T-Pain?
