When I found this story I personally did not believe it until I saw the pictures of a village which eat human being meat and it has been discovered that the village is in Thailand.
Though, there have been rumors about some cannibalism in some part of the country of Thailand but no one believe until this story with pictures went viral. so if you don’t know now you know that Cannibalism still exist.

As you can see from the images below, that some of the villages even a policeman taking their own piece of HUMAN meat after killing the person.
Though, there has been no information about how the person was killed or what happened but from the picture you will notice that the people cutting the human are relax and cool, so it does not look like a crime.

*sigh* Look, men and women have certain standards. The kind of man who would willingly choose a cleaner, thinks of himself as being happy with her choice of work/person. There are certain jobs people choose because of a lack of choice. The average university graduate in Nigeria would go for teaching rather than cleaning, for instance.
There's no way to equate a cleaner with a banker, unless the person cleans Jonathan's room in Aso rock or runs a professional cleaning outfit.

@tyor
I am very much pleased with your view, permit me to share with amongst my connections.
How can i connect with you privately?
Regards.

Anytime....I am very open to questions and clarifications.

[b]This is a very interesting thread. A lot of people are asking what the best pathway is....I wish to disappoint you. There's no pathway to success...the same route followed by Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook is the same path that others have followed and they failed. Timing of your decision is very important. Moving fast could be as dangerous as moving too slow.

Speak to a career advisor (in the absence of an advisor), speak to someone that has achieved some level of success in the career path that suits you. It is disappointing that in this day and age, a Nigerian would save up N7m and dash it out to the Queen of England in the name of Masters/MBA, only to be kicked out after the programme. Gets back home with a British MBA and starts to write aptitude test and seeking for a job that pays less than N100k monthly. You should only seek such attainment when you have the necessary tools e.g. professional certification or relevant experience to prove that you're a master of that profession/skill.

Go on LinkedIn and check how many Nigerians have lofty Ivy-League MBAs.... People with Imperial MBA, Whatron MBA, Duke, Berkerly, Booth, Cranfield, LSE, etc they all want the same job as you. You need to convince an employer that u're better than these people, and ONE of the easy ways to deal with that is your understanding of the fundamentals. E.g. for Accounting profession, having ICAN or ACCA proves to the employer that u know the basics of Accounting and having passed that exam means YOU ARE RUGGED. Those exams dont come easy (even for First class graduates). Also, a moderate experience in an Audit firm (even the local ones) proves that you have seen the financial statements of different organisations. Simply put, you are DEEP and VAST.

The employer would decide if it wants someone to brag about (imperial MBA) and/or someone to stay overnight until all transactions are reconciled and accurately reported. At the end of the day, the best people are those that have obtained ICAN/ACCA, garnered moderate experience and Obtains the ALMIGHTY MBA...then the employer is forced to place them in Senior Roles (as they have proof of doing the detailed work) and Also an MBA to proof their managerial competency.

Dont be deceived. They global standard employers dont care if you have PHd, what they want is someone that meets the basic requirement and proof to be able to do the job.

I know Zenith bank's age limit for Entry Level is 2nd Class Upper and 25yrs for BSc and Master Degree holders but they allow 27yrs old for ICAN/ACCA holders, even HND+ICAN+27yrs old is accepted.

PwC also gives consideration if u're slightly older but have ICAN/ACCA.

If I were to start my career afresh, I would finish with a degree......
1. Obtain a REPUTABLE professional qualification e.g. CFA, CIPM, SHRM, ICAN, ACCA, CISA, CIBN, etc (depending on what path i want)
2. work for a few years with a REPUTABLE firm that specialises in that chosen field (e.g, HR Firm, Audit Firm, Law Firm, Archy Firm, etc)
3. Seek ivy-league MBA (STRICTLY Top-ranked schools). Pls note that only 6 schools in the UK make the list of World best 100 business schools

If you want an employer to take you because of your MBA, the reputation of your school is VERY VERY IMPORTANT. Nevertheless, with your average MBA, people still get employed because they are smart (which maybe attributed to the knowledge from MBA).


Choose wisely!!!

[quote author=mcshegs post=27813036]Dat was a very grt one. Having said dat; what professional courses would u recommend for someone of ma calibre i.e a 22yrs old Economics graduate with a strong 2.1 stil seeking to land a job. Pls reply asap brodaquote author=tyor post=27812638]

...u might just get lucky

[b]Hi Poster,

Whatever you do depends on your career trajectory. IF YOU WANT TO BE A PROFESSIONAL, YOU NEED TO PASS PROFESSIONAL EXAMS.

Obtaining an LL.M (masters in Law) or PHD doesnt make you a LAWYER
Obtaining an MSc (masters in Accounting) or PHD doesnt make you an ACCOUNTANT
Obtaining an MSc (masters in Banking) or PHD doesnt make you a BANKER

Obtaining Masters or working in those capacities can confer title on you. e.g. working in a firm as Accountant doesnt make you an Accountant. You are simply working as an Accountant and you would not be allowed to occupy the office of Chief Accountant or Chief Financial Officer (especially in a big organisation or regulated industry).

A key prerequisite for leadership role in a bank requires that you hold Chartered Inst. of Bankers' (CIBN) Charter. Same goes for Chief Accountant role in Listed companies (even non-listed companies that you would like to work is so organised to want an ICAN/ACCA holder to head Finance and Accounting).

Furthermore, I dont know anyone that wants a Lawyer that has PHD from Oxford and cannot practice in any country.

Simply put, any well thinking African (seeking employment in Nigeria) should finish with First Degree and seek Professional qualification and if opportuned, grab 2 years experience before seeking Masters. This is very simple.

On the second note, in this current market place....a professional exam would help you get a job quicker than Masters degree in this country especially when u have passive Masters degree [s](as offered by 110 out of 118 universities in the UK)[/s]. A typical Nigerian private firm that is result-oriented wants someone who has got indepth understanding of a subject matter not a Master of ALL with no sound technical skill apart from Powerpoint presentation and outlook. At the end of the day, every organisation needs a balance of people with Masters and people with Professional certificate.

One of the Global corporations that I have worked has a blend of both Worlds at the Executive Management level....those that would wear Oxford suits, with cambridge presentation skills and have NO technical knowledge but will secure a client and those with Lagos island "italian" suits, fair presentation skills and will DO the job for the client.

If I were you, I would seek professional qualification after first degree, seek quality experience in a firm where i can get technical knowledge and get certified.....And finally, opt for a master degree when i am ripe to transit into Management cadre.

Are we?

It's been 42 days since the last new case

Nigeria and the World Health Organization were poised to declare the country free of Ebola on Monday, a containment victory in an outbreak that has stymied other countries’ response efforts.

The milestone was set for 9 a.m. local time or 4 a.m., E.T., 42 days since the last new case. The outbreak has killed more than 4,500 in West Africa is remains unchecked in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, so Nigeria is by no means immune to another outbreak.

“It’s possible to control Ebola. It’s possible to defeat Ebola. We’ve seen it here in Nigeria,” Nigerian Minister of Health Onyebuchi Chukwu told TIME. “If any cases emerge in the future, it will be considered—by international standards—a separate outbreak. If that happens, Nigeria will be ready and able to confront it exactly as we have done with this outbreak.”

For the WHO to declare Nigeria’s Ebola-free, the country had to make it 42 days with no new cases (double the incubation period), verify that it actively sought out all possible contacts, and show negative test results for any suspected cases.

Nigeria had 20 cases of Ebola after a Liberian-American man named Patrick Sawyer flew into Lagos collapsed at the airport. Health care workers treating Sawyer were infected, and as it spread it ultimately killed eight people, a low number next to the thousands of cases and deaths in other countries. Nigeria’s health system is considered more robust, but there was significant concern from experts that a case would pop up in one of the country’s dense-populated slums and catch fire.

So what did Nigeria do right? Chukwu and Dr. Faisal Shuaib of the country’s Ebola Emergency Operation Center, broke it down for TIME.

Preparing early. Nigeria knew it was possible a case of Ebola would make it into the country, so officials got to work early by training health care workers on how to manage the disease, and disseminating information so the country knew what to expect.

Declaring an emergency—right away. When Nigeria had its first confirmed case of Ebola, the government declared a national public health emergency immediately. This allowed the Ministry of Health to form its Ebola Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The EOC is an assembly of public health experts within Nigeria as well as the WHO, Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and groups like Doctors Without Borders. “[We] used a war-room approach to coordinate the outbreak response,” Shuaib said. “So you have a situation whereby government and staff of international development agencies are co-located in a designated facility where they are able to agree on strategies, develop one plan and implement this plan together.”

The EOC was in charge of contact tracing (the process of identifying and monitoring people who may have had direct or indirect contact with Ebola patients), implementing strict procedures for handling and treating patients, screening all individuals arriving or departing the country by land, air and sea, and communicating with the community. Some workers went door-to-door to offer Ebola-related education, and others involved religious and professional leaders. Social media was a central part of the education response.

Training local doctors. Nigerian doctors were trained by Doctors Without Borders and WHO, and treated patients in shifts with their oversight.

Managing fear. “Expectedly, people were scared of contracting the disease,” Shuaib said. “In the beginning, there was also some misinformation about available cures, so fear and inaccurate rumors had to be actively managed.” Nigeria used social media to to ramp up awareness efforts, and publicized patients who were successfully treated and discharged. “People began to realize that contracting Ebola was not necessarily a death sentence,” Shuai said. “Emphasizing that reporting early to the hospital boosts survival gave comfort that [a person] has some level of control over the disease prognosis.”

Keeping borders open. Nigeria has not closed its borders to travelers from Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, saying the move would be counterproductive. “Closing borders tends to reinforce panic and the notion of helplessness,” Shuaib said. “When you close the legal points of entry, then you potentially drive people to use illegal passages, thus compounding the problem.” Shuaib said that if public health strategies are implemented, outbreaks can be controlled, and that closing borders would only stifle commercial activities in the countries whose economies are already struggling due to Ebola.

Remaining prepared for more patients. Even though this outbreak was contained, Nigeria is not slowing down its training and preparations for the possibility of more cases. “Outbreak response preparedness is a continuous process that requires constant review of the level of the response mechanisms in place to ensure that the health system is ready to jump into action at all levels,” Shuaib said. “There is no alternative to preparedness.”

Advocating for more international response. “The global community needs to consistently come together, act as one in any public health emergency, whether it is Ebola or a natural disaster.” Shuaib said. “While a lot has been done, it still falls short of what is necessary to get ahead of the curve. We must act now, not tomorrow, not next week.”

those crazy Americans should be denied visas into Nigeria
