Hello guys.

Please u need an enlightenment.

I was going through my Facebook page.

And I saw an advert for Cisco training, certification and placement. Fee: 67,000.

Please I don't know how effective is this in getting a job. Any possibility of me coping since I don't have any background in computer or networking.

Please advice

If you intend to learn CISCO you must first start from the basic and learn

A+ Part 1 and Part 2 Udemy does very good online training course for £12 pounds or N600

CompTIA A+ Certification ( Part 2 of 2)
CompTIA A+ Certification ( Part 1 of 2)
https://www.udemy.com/topic/comptia-a/

After completing A+ you can proceed to Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT) - CCNA and CCNP
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco_certifications#Cisco_Certified_Technicians_(CCT))

I will suggest that you buy second PCs and build your own home network labs using old PCs.

Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)/Hospital Administrator.

If you already have a degree in Engr, then there is no reason why you should acquire another degree in the field of HMO, which is basically health insurance and qualitative data analysis. I will suggest that you look for an online course and master degree online

In Nigeria, health maintenance organizations (HMOs) are the purchasers of health insurance with a social National Health Insurance Scheme for civil servants. However the roles of HMOs in implementation of social health insurance are not clear. This study determined the roles of HMOs in implementation of the national social health insurance scheme in Enugu, Southeast Nigeria.

Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) purchase care on behalf of the National Health Insurance of USA [2]. Nigeria adapted the HMO system in 1999. With the formation of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) [1], private entities were encouraged to form HMOs [3]. The Act establishing the NHIS allowed HMOs to serve as agents to the NHIS and should cover both public and organized private sectors.

HMOs in the Formal Sector Health Insurance Program (FSSHIP) of Nigeria’s NHIS were appointed to give the scheme a private sector face-lift. The founding fathers of the scheme believed that the social system of the country is marred with inadequacies, without checks and balances. Based on that, policy makers in health suggested a system of health insurance with HMOs participating as agents of the NHIS to purchase health services from public and private providers. HMOs are private sector driven and are expected to close leakages that might be arising from poor management by the public sector

First, it is fallacy to say that money from then Northern Region was used to develop the other regions because like the Northern groundout pyramids, Western Region exported cocoa, Eastern Region exported oil palm.

However, it is a fact that Northern Nigeria has great agricultural and mineral potentials that are underutilized while average young notherner is poor and most are idle. Why? Because unlike in the 1960's, current state governors do little investment in Agriculture but wait for oil revenue from FAAC in Abuja.

The fact is that food production and processing employ more many more people that oil industry, spread wealth to many more people and earn as much as forex as crude oil.

Even the South South has tremendous marine resources that is begging to be tapped. No geopolitical zone is left in mineral and agricultural resources.

Here lies one strong reason for restructuring for more prosperous Nigeria.

The most important resources are human resources. Educated the youth and provide affordable health care and you will hear less rubbish about who discovered oil in 2021.

In the age of digital currency, this will never happen

Rubbish, the Jews and Lebanese living across the world haven't lost out. The question should be will the regions of the SW and SE be better off outside Nigeria.

SE has 90% literacy rate, will be a major producer of rice palm oil and other food corps, they will also have a well developed light manufacturing industry.

I saw buhari's interview on TV.
And I said, this man is unaware of what is happening in the country.

The elites in Nigeria live in a bubble and one day that bubble will burst.

You are treating people badly and someone is sowing the seeds of hatred due to the injustice you give.

Why does Nnamdi kanu have so many followers, have you all thought about it?

Because what he's saying is the truth. Every Igbo man looks around him and see these things.

Buhari is aware of Nigeria problem. He is part of the problem. Any leaders that support open grazing in Nigeria wants a civil war.

heniford2:
I just pray Nigeria do not witness this soon war

Prayers can not save Nigeria if a president undermines the federal system of government.

Why did this lead to the current conflict?
The TPLF, which remained in power in Tigray, saw Abiy’s centralising “pan-Ethiopian” politics as undermining the country’s federal system and its delicate ethnic balance. Abiy, in turn, accused the Tigrayans of brazenly defying the authority of central government – notably by holding elections in September despite a national postponement initiated on account of the Covid-19 pandemic.

If you can't afford pure water, GO TO YOUR VILLAGE AND FARM.

There is big money in farming now.

You can't afford pure water but you can afford data to post nonsense on Nairaland.

Mr govt blamer.

If every Nigerian were farming who will work in the manufacturing plant.

Talk about putting the cart before the horse, building a train manufacturing plant, when they should be completing the Ajaokuta steel plant that will supply the steel for manufacturing.

I am currently working with a road transport company in Akwa ibom.

They still need to complete the Ibom deepsea port,

Investigate why Aluminium Smelter Company of Nigeria (ALSCON) is not operating since the Rusal take over. Akwa Ibom seems like the only state that might compete with Lagos.

Wakanakarue:
Nigeria sha... Since this man became president we have all suffered in his hands, they keep crying about poor revenue but keep on wasting huge amounts on frivolity, party men and tribesmen. Keep cry about corruption but are the most corrupt government since democracy.

Apc will fight with their blood to retain power else the discovery will shut down this nation for good.
The thing is, this is actually an organised business, a means to easily smuggle huge amount out of the country under the guise of purchasing weapons. Or do you mean to tell me that Nigeria as a country dont ve means and channels to buy arms having been an active war zone for over a decade? Who introduced him to the federal government? So many questions but let me leave it at this.

A stupid Ijaw man was president at the time the money was handed over to Hima and an Igbo woman was finance minister when they decided to hand over nearly $400 million to a "Fulani Man" that can't speak English. Buhari is incompetent and corrupt but GEJ was a shocking disgrace as a president who operated the most corrupt government in Africa.

Buhari using Niger to stash loot. Everything about him stinks.

Fulanis cashing out big time from the dying cash cow called Nigeria while some people are busy hating those who don't want to remain in Nigeria.

If Nigeria is to split , northern nigeria would be worse than Congo or Afghanistan
Even the educated brain is full of cow sh@t.
When you support evil ,get ready to face it consequences , cow garba

Northern Nigeria is already worst than Congo and Afganistan. It has a lower literacy rate, more Northern Nigerians are living in extreme poverty than DRC and Afganistan combined, it has a high rate of desertification and more people are kidnapped and killed in Northern Nigeria than anywhere in the world.

Blue3k:
Stop using words you don't understand. Realpolitic doesn't tell you to fund your enemy against your basic interest. There's nothing practical or logical about your suggestion hence why it should be admonished as the foolishness it is. Assemble your own people to arrest the people and confiscate the cows like what's already being done.

RealPolitic: a system of politics or principles based on practical rather than moral or ideological considerations.

The logical solution is to get your enemy off your back until the Buhari government come to an end in 2023.

Buhari controls the Armed force and Police and refuses to arrest erratic and murderous Fulani's herdsmen.

Open Cattle grazing has been the practical military system that Fulani's have used to owned other people land. Paying Northern state to keep the cows in the North buys the South some time to 2023.

Blue3k:
It's just as easy to arrest the herdsmen for violating the law and its stupid to use tax dollars to develop other states. What return is the South getting for investing in this venture. They aren't paying taxes and fees to to the south. Use your tax dollars for this cause and enjoy the profits. Let your state subside their business for since they can't be demanded to buy land.

Realpolitic,

Buhari and Malami are hell-bent on fighting a war in the South. They would never arrest Fulani's herdsmen, how many Nigerians have been killed across the middle belt and the South, yet Buhari blames the Southern governor.

Nigeria Defaults On Mambilla’s $200m Settlement Agreement, Incurs Heavy Penalty

For multiple defaults on a $200 million settlement agreement it willingly entered, Nigeria now faces about $500 million in penalty over the botched $5.8 billion Mambilla hydroelectric power project.

The original awardee of the contract, Sunrise Power and Transmission Company Limited (SPTCL), had accepted a settlement offer of $200 million from the Nigerian government in the course of arbitration at the International Court of Arbitration in Paris, France.

The settlement offer was to compensate for the unlawful termination of the contract and the re-award of same to a Chinese firm.

Sunrise was also expected to let go of all claims to the project which has been grounded for 14 years.

The original contract was to generate 3,050 megawatts, but later reviewed, to 1,525  megawatts and the cost cut down to $4 billion.

Judicial interventions, sought home and abroad, have made it impossible for Nigeria to make any gains from the project and the vacillation of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari on the compensation is further hurting the country.

In the Terms of Settlement, Nigeria agreed to a sustained halt on the project until the liability to Sunris, is discharged.

The original contract signed on May 22, 2003, became entangled in judicial web following the decision of the Nigerian government to revoke the contract on May 28, 2007 and re-award it to a Chinese company, Messrs China Gezhouba Group Corporation/China Geo-Engineering Corporation (CGGC/CGC).

SPTCL subsequently launched a judicial counter to the administrative action in suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/384/2007 which brought the project to a complete halt.

The suing firm asked for $960 million in damages for breach of contract.

In a series of documents sighted by Tribune Online, the Buhari administration which showed initial resolve to follow through with the amicable settlement initiated by its predecessors-in-office has now spurned the out-of-court settlement in multiple times, with Sunrise agreeing to let go of the penalty for earlier defaults.

The government even committed itself to $200 million penalty in an addendum to the original Terms of Settlement to assure of prompt payment of the $200 million compensation.

With Nigeria missing out on all payment deadlines, including the first payment of $100 million which should have been over a year ago, the arbitration in Paris in which Mr. Femi Falana is representing Sunrise, may eventually decide the fate of the country.

The default penalties waived by Sunrise, are also expected to come back into play, since the waiver was subject to federal government, not defaulting on the content of Addendum to the Terms of Settlement.

The reinstatement of the penalties and the $400 million already accruable on the latest default would push Nigeria’s indebtedness to Sunrise, to about $600 million.

The 10% per annum, interest rate, agreed to, by parties in the Settlement Agreement, would see a further spike to close to $700 million payable to Sunrise.

If arbitration resumes without the parties staying true to the Settlement Agreement, Sunrise is likely to walk away with close to $700 million, due to negligence on the part of decision makers in Nigeria.

If Sunrise returns to the Nigerian legal system, the earlier $960 million damages will come back into play.

While there is yet an official explanation for the continuous default, available documents showed that the trio of[b] Malami, Mamman and the Chief of Staff to the President, Ibrahim Gambari, have been communicating on the contract crisis.[/b]

President Buhari, according to a letter from Malami, is also aware of the developing saga. Where ever you find Malami you find incompetence

On 17th August, 2020, Malami wrote to the President through Gambari, a memo titled, RE-UPDATE ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MAMBILA HYDROELECTRIC POWER PROJECT AND THE WAY FORWARD.

“This is following an earlier brief I had sent to your excellency on this subject, via my letter dated 10th June, 2020 which brief, was expected to provide comprehensive update for the guidance of your excellency on this matter. A copy of the said letter is hereby attached as annexure AL.”

Obviously on the strength of from Malami’s letter, Mamman, in a memo dated 19th August, 2020 and addressed to Professor Gambari, said, “I refer to your letter dated August 18, 2020, with Reference No, SH/COS/03/A/2835, on the above subject and wish to comment on issues raised by the Hon. Attorney General and Minister of Justice, in the accompanying report as follows;

“The Ministry of Power is in total support of the position provided by the AGF who has been the lead in finding an amicable out-of-court settlement to the dispute.

Out of court settlement to share the loot with the French company.

The ultimate aim of the Ministry is to see that Mambilla project implementation can proceed unencumbered, therefore whichever settlement option that can lead to peaceful resolution for the project, to commence will be acceptable by the ministry.”

A useless country that can export gas to heat homes in Europe and Asia, but cannot provide efficient gas for its electric power plants.

Princesaha:
Support kill you there. Your brain is obviously paining you.

Sometimes it smart to use politics and diplomacy to get what you want. By supporting the Northern states in building ranches you develop an ally that can assist the South in preventing Fulani's herdsmen from travelling down South, you also reduce the cost of damage to farmlands in the South.

Nigeria has just defaulted on the Mambilla hydroelectric power project.

The government even committed itself to $200 million penalties in an addendum to the original Terms of Settlement to assure of prompt payment of the $200 million compensation.

The addendum, which is the subsisting Terms of Agreement, is dated March 25, 2020, with the Minister of Power, Mr Sale Mamman and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr, Abubakar Malami, witnessing for the Federal Government.

Leno Adesanya, chairman and CEO of Sunrise and legal counsel, Jeremie Chouraqui, witnessed for the company.
The agreed sum of $200 million shall be paid in one or two tranches within 150 calendar days (five months), from the date of execution of this Addendum, as follows; first $100 million within 30 calendar days of execution of the agreement.

“The remaining balance of $100 million shall be paid within 90 calendar days (three months) of the first payment.

The Southern governors should support the Northern ranching States like Kano and Gombe by providing some form of financial support.

Whether you’re a Apc, Pdp, Apga, Christian, Muslim or traditionalist as long as you’re not of Fulani heritage you need to fight now before it’s too late.

Buhari legacy will on in 2023. He has failed to build institutions to sustain his legacy beyond 2023.
