₦airaland Forum

Sergio104:
Nothing, Mr Sergio no go see for little Nairaland forum.

Indeed many little butterfly consider themselves dragon in the wonderland .

An old bird that never learn to fly craving attention in an anonymous forum is the most illogical unfolding to witness in the week.

Narcissistic Buffon.

Apperently Innoson is your age mate considering the time you began your mumu in Nairaland.

But here you are today, struggling for space in nairaland and ill assuming people being happy for your incoherent balderdash. There Innoson is innovating, and slashing the Price of Keke so that people like you whose life has been a mirage of success can at least be happy in life time.


You may send your account details to my mail if you really care for a 30k giveaway. Or you may keep looking for "excited one on balderdash".

Outta here!!!!

Hmm.
See savagery . Some pipu get bad mouth Sha.

Boss give me the money nah, no be for omenka.
Should I send details?

micronut:
Things you can do with your laptop and data.

1. Write for blogs (1k for a nice article). I did this for a year. Making 5k a week for 5 articles. I write on healthcare, Small business Ideas, Agricultural opportunities, and Entertainment.

2. Type Students Projects (Visit Campuses). Never done this before. I hate typing. But people do it.

3. Online Registration for applicants. There are a lot of registration going on now. Find a business centre that don't offer this service. Do partnership. I did that at Unilorin...

4. Social media Marketing - This is the best option for you. Helping businesses to sell their products and services online by creating visibility. You can sell these items on Nairaland here, on Jìjì, Konga, Facebook, Instagram etc and earn a decent commission per sales.

5.Learn New Skills: With your Laptop and enough Data.. You can learn a lot of online especially on YouTube. Nothing on earth that is DIY that you can't learn there. Loads of free skills that can fetch you money. E.g Video editing, Graphic Design, Web development.. In 3 months you can start handling small projects for small businesses.

I hope this is helpful.

If you want to know more. Chat me up on zero eight zero six three seven eight double nine twelve. I have a book I wrote titled "making small money from small businesses and skills in Nigeria". It's just 2k.

God bless.

Please can you explain more on number one please.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to legally challenge his wrongful impeachment and was reinstated by the Courts.

*He was the first Governor in Nigeria to seek the interpretation of tenures of Governors when INEC allowed elections to take place in Anambra State when his tenure had not expired; the election already concluded was cancelled and he was allowed to complete his tenure.

*He was the first Governor to serve a 2nd term in both the new and old Anambra State, that is, almost 40 years after creation of the State.

*He was the first Governor, whilst still in Office, to be appointed a Special Adviser to the President.

*He was the first serving Governor to be appointed into the Presidential Economic Management Team.

*He was among the first Governors to be honoured with a National Award in 2011, while still in office.

*Though the only Governor whose political party was in government in only one State, he was elected Vice-Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum twice.

*Though the only non-PDP Governor in the South-East (made up of 5 States), he was elected by the other 4 PDP Governors as their Chairman for 8 years rather than the usual one year.

FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United Stated, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.

Do you want to see Peter Obi run for the office of the President?

Omo!!!!

Ebubu:
pharmacy is very enjoyable to practice.

Notice I didn’t pick any professional course above it?

Because to me there’s none above it. Doctors who are their competitors don’t even make how much they make in community pharmacies.


I only pick Tech, Business and then Politics above Pharmacy.

Don’t even mention oil industry cos it’s literally no longer existent in Nigeria again.

Pharmacy is very great among other professional courses in Nigeria but Tech boys and their dollars don spin my eyes with their Dollars.

Have been following ya comment on this thread.
I must say......ya threading bad bro.

Please believe so well in the pharmacy you are studying. Believe in it as if your life depends on it.
And fate will decide.

Newton2024:
How many vacancies for Geology graduates have you seen in the past one year? Don't allow your lecturers deceive you unless you have connections.

It's my dream course bro.
I will put in all my best in it.
No connections.........but I believe strongly I will thrive well

Sniper04:
Oshey , you carry your hand pick geology

Yep bro.
It's where my heart lies

Lordbinsmar:
Nice one Bro. I studied mechanical engineering and I don't regret. I don't care what others are saying about the course. It gives me satisfaction and I am happy doing what I love. The course has opened lots of opportunities for me. I'm grateful to God I studied mechanical engineering.

But the irony is that the best graduating student in my set never love mechanical engineering he did it based on the prestige, now the guy doesn't have enough motivation to continue in this domain, but he is doing great on his own and I am sure studying the course has equipped him with some transferable skills he can use in other aspect of life.

Keep chasing your dreams Bro. Start looking for schorlarship opportunities in the US, Canada and Europe. There are a lot of opportunities for STEM courses in these countries but you need excellent grades and lots of proffesional development to win these schorlarships.

For example as someone mentioned work very hard during your final year project and try to get it published. I did the same and it as really helped me. I just won a schorlarship to study naval architecture and marine engineering in Europe. During my interview, the Proffesor who asked me questions has his research interest in ship structural analysis, he was impressed with what he saw on my CV. I had worked on several projects and research in finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics. He wanted to be sure if it was a flux or I really know what I am doing. He asked me 6 technical questions and I was able to answer them perfectly. On that spot, I knew I won the schorlarship already even before the results was published. A close friend of mine also shared the same experience.

My point is that when I was busy learning software, working on projects and publishing my research work. It was really difficult but now everything has paid off.

Wish you the best in your academic pursuit. If you want me to put you through schorlarships opportunities, you can message me directly but for now look at schorlarships such as DAAD, ERASMUS MUNDUS AND SWEDISH PROFFESIONAL SCHORLARSHIP. if you have interest to further your education in Europe. I don't know a lot about Canada and USA, but I have several friends that are currently studying in these countries on schorlarships.

If possible do make sure you graduate with a first class honour's. It will make things easier for you, but even with a second class upper with hard work, you will get fully funded schorlarship.

Thank you so much dearest brother.
Much love!

Lordbinsmar:
Follow your heart Bro..... Don't mind what guys are typing here. A lot of people don't know a lot about their course of study. The most important thing is to have passion for your course of study and make excellent grade, with this you can leave Nigeria if things don't go your way.

Lots of people don't have passion for their courses of study, only interested in making money out of it. Hence they have no self worth and job satisfaction.

Thank you sooooo much!!!!

May God almighty bless you for me...... Amen!!
You made my day day bro. Much love.

You know.... when I applied for Geology during my jamb exam. Friends were discouraging me that it's not a lucrative course.... that I should not waste my time on it......but that's actually my dream.
I love anything Geo so much. So with the support of my mom and my school mentor.
I applied for it.

Wrote my jamb.....scored 280, aggregated to 306. And the major problem of discouragement set in.
That I should change my course, that am trying to waste my brain, that I am too adamant.

But I did always think...... what am I gonna be doing being a doctor??, being a pharmacist?, Being a radiographer....... Geez. I hate them all.

But I simply like being my Geoscientist .

So I went for my heart.

I pray the tide favours me and us all

chatinent:
Ok. Can you godly give me a job please?

Guy you dey ment
