Nobody is above mistake, mistakes are meant to be corrected.

If you think he made a mistake. I have a palace to sell to you.

Are they bandit or freedom fighter. The people are rising up against a failed centralise system of government.

“They have constituted themselves as judges. They have sacked the traditional and political institutions there, so there are no judges at all.

“The bandits now settle disputes between people. They resolve quarrels between husband and wife and so on.

TallNigerian:
Hello Nairalanders,

I will be 30 years in a few months and I have never felt so much unease as I do right now. I work with one of the federal parastatals and I am currently on level 10 going to 12 next year. I have a Master degree athough it is not exactly relevant to my current job.

The problem is that my organisation uses the Ministry salary structure and my monthly net is below 80k even as a level 10 staff.

I am not married and I am academically inclined. Asides having a Master degree, I have over 8 professional certifications.

I have been trying to clinch a transfer of service to a better parastatal where the remuneration is better and where my knowledge/experiences as a science graduate will be better appreciated but it has been a bit difficult.

However, just before the COVID-19 episode in Nigeria, I got the right link for a transfer of service to a better parastatal but the process got stalled with the COVID-19 palaver.

I have 4 siblings who are Canadian citizens and they have been on my neck to migrate. I never took the calls seriously until this lockdown period. My siblings are arguing about the uncertainty of the Nigerian economy post-covid and advising me to seize this opportunity to migrate and start a new career over there?

My question therefore, "is it wise to stay back since I have gone quite far in my public service career and just wait for the opportunity to transfer my service to a better paying federal parastatal OR do I migrate to Canada and start a new career?

Your honest inputs will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

@CrazyMan @1forall Please I need your help in pushing this forward for a wider view. Thank you.

Migrate, you can do more for yourself and Nigeria if you live and experience an advance society. The culture change and dynamic will make you a better person.

You guys have not done well as an opposition party. You let them get away with what they are doing. Dummies

Nigeria flawed constitution and fake election or selection allow the incumbent party to get away with anything. Just look at the rubber stamp house and senate that have been approving the billions of dollar loans without oversight.

When you work for government, they send you to workshops and seminars. Those are training to be effective in your field. By the time you reach the top, you would have gained enough training and experience in management even without sitting in a classroom to get an academic qualification.

What your point?

Where did I say an Engr require a classroom academic qualification in management?

By the way i forgot to tell you how slavery was practiced more in the south too....you should be ashamed of yourself...almajiri graduate you say....by the way are you even a graduate?... The fact that you come here to type rubbish doesn't mean you are one and being a graduate doesn't guarantee intelligence...

Coward, if you understand the meaning of the word "Bigot" you wouldn't have written the crap above.


Olodo, why do discuss issues that were not covered in your Almajiri curriculum.

The reason why Northern Nigeria is in complete meltdown today is that the subjects of the old Sokoto Caliphate are now the underclass of modern Nigeria, the beggers and impoverish Almajiri are basically descendant of past slavery.

Sokoto state was one of the largest slave societies in recent history; that the majority of slaves within the Caliphate were women, who were sexually subjugated through concubinage; that slavery formed the backbone of the economy and society of the Caliphate; that Islam was a major influence on the political, economic, and legal structures sustaining the institution of slavery in the Caliphate;

You better mind your own business.

What they are doing is bad but let me shock you. You see those top people in their AC conditioned offices, they are all thieves and they employ mostly thieves.

They employ thieves as staff to steal for them. They plan bank robbery on their own branch(es) and split the money with the hired robbers.

If you report them, I promise you, they will find a way to implicate you with them because someone will spill and someone among the top officials will be implicated.

It's a dog eat dog situation.

Leave your boss and co to find out for themselves and stay clear of any of their activities directly or indirectly.

Always cross your 'Ts' and dot your 'Is' before you leave the office ( You know what I mean).

A lot of innocent men have gone to prison because they didn't take out time to look at the paper brought before them before signing.

This is why Nigeria is a failed state.

This idiot will be the first Nigeria to cry " Where is the police?" When armed robber pay him a visit

I work in finance company and I'm in charge of all accounts. All monies are been remitted to me. The M.D of this organization is such a generous but uneducated woman. My colleagues are leveraging on this to siphon organization's funds to their various pockets. I'm not oblivious of this fact because I'm so sensitive to things around me,but I am d God fearing type that won't participate in such a dirty act.
I've called majority of those in this illicit act privately to warn them and let them know the implications. But to my utmost surprise, the bull-shit keep getting high and d MD is not the type to tell such hidden things, she will reveal the identity of her Intel.
The problem now is that,if this act persist,the company may go bankrupt sooner than later. Even though,the job is not worth dying for,half bread they said it's better than none. I can't afford to be jobless.
Please advise me on what to do?


NB: I'VE SUBMITTED APPLICATION TO OTHER COMPANIES BUT NO RESULT YET.

How in the world did you become a Financial Manager, when it's obvious that you have no professional ethic. Your first responsibility is to the company and the MD and not to your crooked colleagues.

You must immediately consult your lawyers, involve your MD and the police in investigate and prosecuting you crooked colleague.

Lmao...you are just saying trash....soo infrastructure in a state should not be measured in terms of allocation of resources abi?...
So government shouldn't build infrastructures...rather they should continue squandering the money and be blaming the north for their own backness in infrastructure... Just hear yourself out....you should be ashamed of yourself....
The kidnappings you are talking about originated fronm the south...
Armed robbery to started there...
Prostituition and Tribal killings all started from the south...
In terms of Education a lot of you will be saying North has a lot of school drop out... Because a lot of southerners can speak pidgin doesn't make them literates too...must southerners use fake results with must of them going to your mushroom polytechnics and FCE's to obtain degree with some not able to even read heir certificates...
Even the SSCE exams results used to judge the performance of children in Nigeria...the south cheats in it more than the North...the said exam malpractice too originated in the south...
Only an ignorant person like you will term Nigeria as the poverty capital of the world...
Go and research on poverty of Yemen before calling Nigeria that....

Olodo,

In your limited mind Prostitution, Kidnapping and Tribal killings, all started in Southern Nigeria, you should read your history books because all those vices have always been in Nigeria.

I am wasting my time discussing with an Almajiri graduate, that will soon be joining the millions of Northern youth emigre hiding in cattle trucks at night.

The World Bank has estimated that 87% of all the poor people in Nigeria are in the north. In a report titled, 'Advancing social protection in a dynamic Nigeria', the Bretton Wood institution said the south-south zone recorded the most significant drop in poverty between 2011 and 2016.

adanny01:
When you say management, I guess you understand that the Engr wasn't appointed MD direct from the University classroom.

If an Engr cannot manage an Engineering company, what makes you think that an Accountant or Legal practioner will know what is required to deliver an Engineering service.

If the Accountant should stay in accounts dept, the legal practioner in the legal department, the Civil Engr in the Civil department, the Electrical engineer in the Electrical department all of an electricity servicing company, who is more qualified to lead every professional dept to the delivery of electricity?

What makes an accountant or legal practioner a better manager?


I am an Engineer, I did courses like Engineering management, Law for Engineers, Cost Engineering etc. I also did a certificate course on Management before register with the Nigerian Institute of Management, as well as Nigeria Society of Engineers and COREN.

Most Engrs rise through the ranks in Civil service, they attend workshops on Management as well as Engineering to succeed in their jobs. Nurses are medical practioners but never heads a hospital.

You just confirmed my position as you have both management training and experience base on your investment in management and legal training over the course of your career.

ThatFairGuy:
Good development.
Meanwhile, the opinion of Those that do criticize creation of more institution are not needed here. ONLY if they know hundreds of secondary School students turns out yearly to join those ones that were unable to secure admission as Nigeria institution can take JUST roughly 300'000 students yearly. Whereas close to 2m candidates wrote this last jamb. More tertiary institutions doesn't stop Government from getting to the task of taking good care of the ones we had already. It's a fundamental right of every citizen to be educated.
The last time I checked, Indian has over three thousand tertiary institutions, how many do we have in Nigeria?

Stupíd leaders with stupíd followers.

Instead of counting the number of tertiary institutions in India, why not count the amount of electricity that India generates, the numbers of working oil refineries and petrochemical plants, the numbers of steel plants and agro-processing factories.

India has the services, manufacturing and agriculture industries that can absorb the millions of graduate that they produce. Nigeria cannot even pay the salaries of the universities lecturers.

What matter is not the number of graduates, but the quality of graduates.

In the age of COVID19 why not invest in the current universities and higher institutions to increase their capacity to provide distance learning thereby expanding their reach at less the cost.

adanny01:
At last government has realized the need to have Engineers lead the power sector instead of Accountants.

TCN and NIPP had always been led by Accountants for God knows why. The government were more interested in the money than the actual job which is power.

With an engineer heading TCN, we hope for a better TCN and power management.

In the same vein, DISCO's are headed by business managers instead of engineers. Districts are called Business districts, this emphasizes that the job the districts have is to generate revenue not distribution of electricity.

We need to change a lot before power delivery is stabilized in this country.

If the Engr has no management training and experience he will be as useless as the accountant.

Even though I don't like this National assembly, but if they can take this companies from our Nigerian crooks and give to Siemens and GE I will be happy.

We all deserve to have 24 hours light by this time of 2020.

Why should our children still be watching TV from neighbors window. Cos he's the only one that has (I pass my neighbor) generator in the area.

You think Siemens and GE will do a better job, have you forgotten that Nigeria Airways was handed over to KLM and they did a worst job than the Nigeria team. Shell has been part of the pollution and corruption of Nigeria oil and gas industry. Nobody is going to fix Nigeria but Nigerian.

If you want to fix Nigeria energy sector employs people on merit, you will require professional skilled technocrat to negotiate contracts, start empowering states and region to build their own GRID that will Generate, transmit and distribute electricity this will reduce the cost of operation.

The strategy should focus on Nigeria home generating their own power using solar and solar batteries and industries connecting to regional grids systems within 5 years Nigeria can obtain generation capacity 50,000 MW.

The government will buy Nigerian dirty generators and replace them with solar battery and panel assembled in Nigeria. All solar batteries will be registered via IoT or GSM to a central system to monitor usage.

This man though; he wants the world to see him as the only serious person fighting covid19.The way he maltreat the citizens of kaduna because of this pandemic, you will think covid19 originated in Kaduna state. I will lock here, I will block there, I will patrol highways, etc.. Someone should advice the man to calm down.

I am not a fan of El -Rufai or Wike, but these are the kind of leaders Nigeria needs in this time of Covid-19 pandemic. Nigerians must be force to obey the rules.

Lol..whats all with the chart?...thank God you accepted what i said about the vices done by the south as you didn't deny any...
So one shouldn't accept his faith but rather commit all sort of atrocities to survive... Is that what you are insinuating?....
When you people talk...you make it look as if their is people living in extreme poverty in the south....
You keep saying the North is backward but some states in Northern Nigeria are better than states in the South in terms of infrastructure and what have you even with their allocation....this makes a lot of you saying the money there is being used to develop the south...
A girl selling sachet water approached a friend of mine in Delta to sell pure water to him...he told her he was fasting...she later begged him to give her money to buy food...this can never happen in the North...anyone selling anything shouldn't have begged for money...

I am disappointed in your response, you are measuring infrastructures in terms of[b] allocation of resources[/b] and infrastructure. You should focus on what a state or regions produces, how many youths are in schools, the quality of primary health facilities. It is the sharing culture that has rendered Nigeria the poverty capital of the world.

The vices committed in the south is a natural transition for an aspiring underdeveloped society transitioning into the modern world that lacks good governance and corrupts elites

What we are witnessing across Northern Nigeria is a complete implosion of society with Fulani herdsmen, Boko Haram, Bandit terrorising the landscape, millions of youth out of schools and Northern elites prepared to tolerate an outdated and backward education system (Aljamari) that even the Arabs have rejected "al-Muhajirun," (which refers to a person who migrated his home in search of Islamic knowledge)in an era of modern schools.

Recently southerners are joining tge queue of public begging right...thank God u said this yourself....
Most Northerners can travel to the south to do petty jobs... A lot of you will be calling them Aboki...almajiri and what have you...
Northerners are contented with the little they get...unlike southerners that indulge in a lot of vices wanting to be rich by all means....
Southerners indulge in
Online Yahoo yahoo
Drugs/human trafficking
Kidnappings of oil workers
Baby factory
Armed robbery
Scamming people up and down
Bunkery
And lots more ..
Note: northerners indulge in some of the above mentioned vices but southerners do it more

You just highlighted the reason why the North is backward, they are content with the little they have, they are not willing to do more than accept their faith and survive.

Northern Nigerian have been in survival mode since their conquer by their Fulani overlord, no society can aspire to greatness if their people are just trying to survive and content with living at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Urchman200:
we are talking about equity and fairness, not who has better life more than the other, if Buhari keep looking north in every appointment, how are one Nigeria.

What has equity and fairness got to do with sacking an incompetence officer and replacing him with someone else, that happens to come from the North? We are talking about incompetence in a government position, since independence Nigeria has managed to build an electricity service that can manage to generate 13GW, transmit 7GW, and distribute less than 1GW as of last week.

The fact that governments under an OBJ, Yaradua, GEJ and now Buhari cannot figure out that the structure of the electricity service is the main reason for Nigeria electricity failure, should be the main cause of concern.

What stupid government will sanction electricity generation in Lagos and South-South to transmission to as far as Maiduguri. Nigeria electricity infrastructure should have been decoupled into regions, Generation, TCN and distribution should be regional design and then integrated into a national grid.

Good morning guys

What do you think is wrong about the Nigerian/African style of parenting?

To me, I think Nigerian/African parenting is the best but African parents think they are always right even when they falsely accuse you which I don't think is right.

What else do you guys think? Let's discuss.

African parents use force and fear to educate their children at the expense of love and understanding.

I hope you are aware of the number of southerners in the North...most of you haven't been here but will be saying a lot of things....come to Kano most especially and see your people

Southerners are not being smuggled to the North, many of them are skilled artisan and businessmen that provide services to the North. All through my life, the majority of the beggars were from the North, it's only recently that Southerner has joined the queue of public begging due to the spread of extreme poverty extending down south.

jlinkd78:
Whoever thinks there is no defined sinister motives as concern d sudden itinerary nature of d Fulani youths down South needs a brain reboot. All of a sudden them dey rush d East. Unfortunately they got their match in Nnamdi Kanu who has created enough awareness and equally enough sensitization amongst his ppl such that with even malleable governors down there these supporter of APC will have no escape. When Wike took enforcement to ultra high level by auctioning the trucks we maligned him but truth is right now no Lorry will ever contemplate carrying these youths to Rivers state again. Mark my word "contemplate "

There nothing sinister about extreme poverty and unemployment, impoverish Northern Nigerians are migrating down South looking for work and employment, the problem is that they lack the skills and capital to settle in the South. There too many slums in the South to accommodate new slum dwellers.

Northern elites must banish Aljamiri education and replace it with modern western education and Islamic Religious Knowledge as they do in the South West.

Northern elites must accept regional restructuring to focus on economic and social development in Northern Nigeria. The North requires investment in rails, health care, family planning, power and agriculture and that will require regional development institutions that are better focus on the specific region and encompass multiple states resources e.g. Gold and Lithium development in Zamfara will require investments from richer states such as Kaduna and Kano.
