Goats can be a real nuisance, I have been reading about how to prevent them from gobbling up cassava farm, unfortunately most of the solutions are not cheap. We have just planted cassava on 6 hectares of land but fencing off 6 hectares is no joke I am keen to find out what solutions are out there too. In the mean time I am going to get a gun and use any goat that comes near my land for shooting practice in preparation for the next Olympic games - in case you haven't heard I am representing Nigeria

Hello Picardie and Kesovy,

sorry i took forever it respond. I hope you both managed to resolve the passport problem. as an update, i got it changed in Abuja but it cost me the earth and my stress level got really high.

Regards,

Tony

Hello Peeps,

I wonder if there is anyone here that would know how this works; I will try and keep this short to not bore you.
Basically I reside in the UK, I have the Nigerian E-Passport but I need to get my name changed but the big guys at Northumberland(London) told me that I have to go to Abuja
My questions are as follows and would very much appreciate your advice.
1. How long will it take to get the e-passport changed if I go to Abuja?  PS; I have my Deedpoll, Name change already advertised in a Nigerian news paper and Affidavit from a Nigerian Court.

2. Do I need to book an appointment prior to travelling to Abuja see the big boys? Or it’s the case of just popping in and see how it goes?

3.Most importantly, how much will it cost, bearing in mind that I can only afford to be in Abuja for 3 days and the remainder of the time in Egba to see the family.

Ta in advance.

Marshals in Nigeria? I don’t think so.

I think the lack of exposure is still a big issue , no one really cares about health and safety and I can see the risks and issues I will have to face if I venture it at all.

Of course my target are the rich spoilt kids but the police will stand as a barrier they might come shooting innocent people holding toy guns before asking any questions and paying hospital bills for the shitty hospital services is not part of my plan.

I guess I will have to look into it properly before proceeding at all.

Hahaha

I am sensing you are not Nigerian. The truth is that i hate a lot of things about that country but i am a part of it and the least i can is introduce something intersting but as you stated it could turn out nasty and that is a risk i am not willing to take.

Each time i go home its like the situation keeps getting worse , it shocking but there isn't much i can do really. I will just have to forget about the paintball game for now

Thanks Xerxes , so you think i should just throw the idea down the bin? i would have loved to introduce the game but knowing how things can be in Niger it will be damn difficult.

Once again thanks alot .

Does any one if there is a paint ball centre anywhere in Niger ?

I wouldn't say NIIT is that bad , I was there around 2001 at the Iponri centre in Surulere and  I was lucky to be with this batch of really hard working guys and we did a lot of group studies thanks to the books and  it paid off .
  I wouldn’t say it was NIIT that got me to where I am today,  it was   down to share determination and a lot of hard work. A place like NIIT is a good start but you cant rely on the lecturers alone, 4 of us studied together to prepare for the  MCP examination which we all passed and today we all have great jobs because we did not stop there.

I think what really helped  was the fact that I moved to UK to study just after I left  but if I had not gone to NIIT I don’t think I would have continued with IT.
Guys to really excel in IT at times you need more than what a school has to offer or any lecturer, you have to be determined.

  I work for Microsoft Corporation  now in UK and the hard work is what got me there with the  help of great friends  , Lanre , Chike and Ikemefuna I will always cherish the times we all spent together.
