blink182: Good question, maybe he is not even there yet and is trying to impress his 'to be' master

nonen: Shakes head for 2 seconds, regrets why the OP is still alive, when we are clamouring for progress in this country, then close thread.

Sky Blue: And how many of those did he implement? The audacity to bring that name up when the task of governance is being discussed. If you want to judge Okorocha on his own merits then do so.

1025: oga, if rochas is not good as the gov of imo state, who is? apart from Mbakwe, who else are u comparing with rochas in what the ppl see in the state?

slimming: stop this copy and paste please.

Geomac: Ohakim's agent, are you trying to say Rochas has not done anything in Imo State?

Dejie4live: Hello My people, hope all is going-on well? Just checking on you all. I remain loyal! Peace...

temmytanny: yea! am in US now

AjanleKoko: .

oyb: fresh air propaganda. end of.

Kay-Dee:
[size=13pt] That is suicidal. How many have you killed, are you Boko Haram in disguise ? [/size]

[size=13pt] Alcohol test ? Where are you ? [/size]

[size=13pt]I didn't see the 4 walls of a driving school but I learnt on the streets, everything I had to know about driving.
Even with all the tests and rules, Americans have their own version of recklessness while driving, sometimes i fear them pass Danfo drivers sef especially the ones that text with one hand and hold coffee cups with the other while driving.[/size]

AjanleKoko: That's a sweeping generalization. Are you not a Nigerian? How many people have you killed in the US till date? Or maybe you never learnt to drive before you left Nigeria, and therefore have nothing to comment about.

So a tout got you a phony license in Nigeria. Big deal.
Unfortunately, the license is accepted in several US states. So, there goes your generalization.

justwise: Yea Bush did a better job, left the economy is a healthy condition , he actually paid for the 2 wars he started before his leaving office?

LocalChamp: FG to regulate conferment of chieftaincy
On May 7, 2012 · In News 12:39 amEmail0

By Caleb Ayansina

ABUJA – Federal Government, weekend, said it will soon roll out requirements for the award of chieftaincy titles by traditional rulers. It also unveiled the logo, Do it right – Transform Nigeria, with a view to instill honesty and integrity in Nigerians.

Director-General of National Orientation Agency, NOA, Mr. Mike Omeri, who disclosed this in Abuja, weekend, said there should be an honest way of conferring award on those that really deserved it to motivate people.

He said it was completely out of the way to honour people because of money rather than hard work.

Omeri, who stated this at a press conference on Do it right – Transform Nigeria campaign in Abuja, called for the adoption of the second stanza of the national anthem as national prayer in all public functions to promote common creed and the cause of a people united.

Bussyme: As he won? why pples so anxious when result av not release.

temmytanny: NO, you wont get to Chevron at all if you are coming from VI. Its just after Lekki phase 1 round about(the next bustop after lekki phase 1 bustop)
You will see a red and brown building(AMAZON ENERGY BUILDING )beside it.

Ileke-IdI:
-Doing assignments/Research and thesis

I'm currently doing one tho, will not expand on that. I'm sure that we have many on higher level who can help with that.  

-Getting a phone line and cheaper plan


So many phone line out there, most do not require contract so its a lot cheaper. Simple Mobile, T-mobile, Metro-PCS, etc. Most of them are around $50/month. I wouldnt suggest getting a "pay by the minute" phones. Lost my phone once, had to get one of those. Your money will disappear like no man's business o

-Getting scholarships

Depends on the school. Each college and department also offers its own scholarships, the state offers their own scholarships too. Try WWW.FASTWEB.COM  many scholarships out there to grab.

Search through your school's engine.


-Owing a used car (if necessary), Getting a bus pass

EXPENSIVE!!!  And used cars comes with used car PROBLEMS. I suggest not. I've had personal experience. Try getting a bike, then maybe after 2 semesters, you can settle down into your school/program. Think about the car expenses, tag expense, registration expense, monthly car insurance expense etc.

Your school should offer you a student ID. That gets you on any city and campus bus for free. Well, may depend on the school. My school uses the RTS Bus program, which charges a standard bus pass amount on our tuition, allows us to ride any bus for free. Ask your school about that.

As a student, I wouldnt worry much about bus pass.



-Getting a licence


1. Go to your state's DMV (each city should have about 10 or more)
2. Ask for a DMV booklet
3. Study the book, study the questions
4. Make an appointment  for the written exam (not exactly written, multiple choice with both road signs and road rules questions)
5. After passing that exam, make another appointment for the driving exam.

The written exams are usually free. Well, the first ones are, additional tests are $5 each. Driving exams are also free (I think). Driver license are $47 in Florida, might be different in your state.

Hard for some, easy for others.

-Making the right friends.


Subjective. All depends on you and the kind of friends you have in mind. What I will say is that making connections is very important. What I see African students doing is settling down in an African organization, waste of precious time. Branch out. You dont know who you will meet in another organization. Go to social events (not just drinking and clubs o).
Go outside. Siddon somewhere. You dont know what you'll meet I've met the craziest best set of people while just riding my bike or while making a decision at a grocery store. Talk to the next person beside you  


-Getting a job on campus/off campus


This will be hard because a lot of schools are cutting budget, less money less jobs.
Once again, this is why connection is very important.
Apply to anywhere, even the jobs you dont think you'll get.
Search through your school's database.
Do you like that starbucks coffee, look online if there's any job opening position. Do you hate your student government, go on their website and look for an opening. Do you appreciate free computers your school offers, look for job opening at the IT. Even if you assume you'll suck at a position, you get better as you work.







Yes o!!!!

fatterman: It so crazy that my wife could even do such, when she knows i dont fancy it? what promt her doing such in the first place? i dont trust my wife, i have been having serious doubt about her, because she behave funny these days.

ak47mann: Abia Govt Employs 4,500 Youths

UMUAHIA—ABIA State government has offered jobs to 4,500 youths under its programme on youth empowerment.

Governor Theodore Orji’s Chief Press Secretary, Ugochukwu Emezue, who disclosed this, explained that the number was exclusive of another 1,000 youths empowered by the state oil producing community commission, ASOPADEC.

According to Emezue, a good number of the 4,500 youths will be working in the state’s environmental agency as change agents to ensure that the state was kept clean.

He explained that they would help in ensuring that the people, especially Aba residents, disposed their refuse properly into designated bins to keep the state clean.

He said the governor in the past few months, had donated more than 20 refuse disposal trucks to ASEAPA, the state environmental sanitation agency, to ensure cleanliness of the state and that more of the trucks were sent to Aba.

He said: “ANESPA is doing well. The only thing is that Aba people, the kind of waste they generate is overwhelming and the irony of it is that rather than putting them in the designated dump sites they throw them into the gutters. We can only appeal to them.

“But the governor is planning to mobilize the 4,500 youths that will be given jobs soon to act as agents of change, and help to check the incessant environmental degradation, especially those who throw refuse into the drainages. They will help in the cleanliness of the state”.


This guy is a clawn. Theodre Orji is the worst thing that happened to Abia people. I`m not from Abia State but always passes through Abia State, I know the guy is a complete idiot. Sometimes i used to wonder how those kind of people managed to get into public sector talk less of being a governor.He`s just like someone who drinks palm wine first thing in the morning. He is a complete slowpoke.All these money he is stealing with his useless son will surely bring shame and disgrace to his entire generation. Governor my foot!

patriot2: I think it is you who thinks the worse of GEJ only because he is not from your region and do not share your faith. But you know what ,: you better get used to it because your people will never rule in this country again.
