somebody r u in the IB industry? cause u really made a lot of sense. I wouldnt say IBs are discriminatory, just very selective. Any more tips?

I would suggest you pick PwC for more global opportunities. As someone mentioned PwC in nigeria is part of the global firm with very strong ties to the uk office and other offices worldwide. Therefore, you are associated with a stronger team and brand. Anyways, both are good choices but i would say pwc, good luck.

Eyah, pity I didnt see this sooner.
The accenture test is in 2 parts. One part like GMAT Questions, other part short essay.
The Multiple Choice part should be answered very quickly as time is the problem most people encounter.
Just try and answer as many questions as possible correctly, there is no penalty for wrong answers.
The essay part, most people pass anyway.
The cutoff is very high and 90% of people fail the test.
Hopefully u will be part of the 10% that pass.
Good luck.

Yeah, I live in Canada as well and am going for my youth service.
If u want to start in September I suggest you start making plans right now,
If u let the NYSC people allocate for u, u will probably end up working in a school ,
So if u want 2 work somewhere else, better start calling up ur people now! good luck
what school did u go 2?

The vacancy isnt closed!
The stated that their site would have some problems till the 28th of May.
It should be working now, just try

I agree with Nosu, if u marry an ambitionless poor guy, in the event tht he gets rich, he will dump u,

I know several people in Nigeria who have them especially those with assets abroad. It makes sense but just shows how marriage is so business-like these days.

For me and my friends, the reason we dont go to clubs or parties anymore is because guys dont want to date girls they see out every week, The prefer chicks whom every single guy in Lagos/PH/Abuja/whatever, doesnt know, not that these girls are doing anything bad while out, its just from my experience, guys prefer babes they meet in more serious zones or at least like a friends house,

Wat's ur take?

I live in Canada but have a UK working holiday visa, i used it to work during the summer in jand,

Yeah, what exactly do you want to know?
I have one,
You said that you know the basic requirements, obviously from the website,
Well, since u already know those,
Your chances of getting one are increased by previous visits to the UK, have u ever gotten a UK visitors visa?
Another, thing they like to see is at least $2000/$2500 being available to you either personal funds or clearly stated by a sponsor,
With the new rules, the UK working holday visa is issued for 2 years but you can only work for one year and holiday for one year, plus it is non-renewable, keep that in mind so it is not wasted when you get one,

Hola if u have more questions

Please O! I will tell him to[b] DEFINITELY NOT [/b] come to live in Canada, fine he should fulfill the 15 days a year minimum commitment so they do not withdraw his perm res and all that. Maybe him children and wife should move but he should not leave him job and move, WHY? I live in Canada and can confidently tell you that well qualified people come here and can only find jobs as cab drivers or telemarketers, they do not respect non-Canadian experience AT ALL, I know tooo many people who have fallen into this trap, the only alternative is if his company has a presence in Canada and can allow him transfer, same goes for yankee,

I really enjoyed the debate and I agree that amongst the forefront of Nigeria's needs are employment and infrastructure BUT at the end of the day, someone woke up from their bed, came up with this idea and implemented it! Mensah - the guy who came up with the concept, pitched it to the UN now they are hosting fashion shows all around the world for this cause (hunger). At least thousands of children who were starving will be helped, He didnt get paid, Deola Sagoe didnt get paid, everyone was just doing it to support what they believe in. Yes it was an opportunity for socialites to party and flaunt their goodies but hey, it did some good. So whether it doesnt create jobs or Agbani showed her boobs or the clothes are unwearable it really isnt the point.
We should be proud whether we like the show of 'boobs' or not! At the end of the day, even if ONE child benefits it is a step in the right direction.

Thanks sooo much for the link!

Yes oo, i heard some of the clothes were hella scandalous, about the issue of giving them food, apparently they raised about 50 million naira which will go towards buying food

Fashion Wire Daily - Nigeria, West Africa - In the past, The     United Nations World Food Program (UN WFP) has called upon Hollywood celebrities such as     Penelope Cruz,     Drew Barrymore and     Colin Farrell to further its campaign against hunger in an attempt to reach its goal of reducing world hunger by 50 percent by 2015. So it was only a matter of time before the fashion flock answered the UN WFP's call to arms, as well.

On Saturday, April 22nd, 2006, in the city of Lagos in Nigeria, West Africa, UN WFP, in conjunction with Health PR, West Africa Nigeria Limited, launched its much anticipated "Catwalk the World - Fashion for Food" global campaign.

Held at the The Lagoon, a venue on the banks of Lagos Island that provided striking views of the city of Lagos, the event marked a turning point for UN WFP, as it was the first time the not-for-profit organization fused the world of high fashion with its campaign to feed the children.

"Fusing fashion with charity is perfect," said Nigeria's ex-beauty queen and fashion icon Nike Osinowo, after the runway show. "Personally, I do a lot of charity work and fashion is like my hobby. I love it and am totally obsessed with clothes so it's a good way to draw attention [to] a good cause."

The glamorous red carpeted event drew Nigeria's high society and A-list celebrities, as well as international dignitaries who came to be seen, party, dine and, most importantly, raise 50 million Naira (the equivalent of over $3 million) to help put nutritious meals in the stomachs of hungry children within Nigeria and the world over.

On hand to capture the glitz and glamour were national and international media such as Fashion TV, Silverbird, MNET and E! Entertainment Television. The event was sponsored and produced by some of Nigeria's most elite companies, including True Love Magazine, West Africa (Nigeria's leading lifestyle magazine for women), Toyota Nigeria Limited and Virgin Airways Nigeria. Also helping with production was South Africa's premiere fashion event producer, Jan Malan.

Richard Mofe Damijo, one of the biggest "Nollywood" stars (Nollywood is the third largest film industry behind India's Bollywood and America's Hollywood, and Damijo is known locally as RMD and often referred to as "Nigeria's     Denzel Washington", hosted the show along with Ifeoma Williams, an attorney and one-time Ms. Lux (Lux being the famous Nigerian skincare company).

Guests were treated to performances by Ghanaian pop group V.I.P, who were winners of last year's prestigious African Music Awards, and Yinka Davies, Nigeria's beloved singing sensation, whose strong, sexy and soulful voice caused goose bumps for most in the crowd.

And then there was the fashion. Particularly stunning were the haute couture designs of Deola Sagoe, the UN-appointed Nigerian fashion designer for the Fashion for Food Campaign. Sagoe, an exceptional and innovative fashion leader who has shown her collections during Milan, New York, Europe and South African Fashion Weeks was, for the first time, showing in her homeland. (When she showed during New York Fashion Week in September 2000, Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Tally was among the judges who crowned Sagoe winner of Africa's Designs Fashion Competition.)

Instrumental in redefining the identity of the African woman as urban and cosmopolitan, her collection featured a mélange of Asian, European and traditional-yet-luxurious Nigerian fabrics, such as aso oke and raffia, and offered a witty interpretation of the fashion trends of the 1920s, ‘50s, African Renaissance and Edwardian/Victorian eras. Many of the 60 all-handmade, vibrantly colorful looks Sagoe showed boasted flattering hourglass silhouettes, their full backs juxtaposed with extraordinary attention to detail, precise finishing and heavy embellishment. She paired most of her designs with custom handmade shoes and hats that furthered the collection's haute air.

"I turned African rafia material on its head so that the ordinary eye would not know it's African fabrics," said Sagoe before her show. "The details are crazy - and Africa has never looked this way before!"

Indeed. On the runway, with hair elegantly coiffed by famed Nigerian stylist Bobby Eke and glamorous makeup done by artists Ogechi Iromantu and Bunmi Olunloyo, some of the world's most beautiful women - all of whom happen to be Nigerian supermodels now based in New York, including Oluchi, former     Miss World, Agbani Darego and the so-called "Naomi Campbell of South Africa," Funmi Alayeimola - used their long sexy strides to help feed the children.

Fola Adeola, a highly respected banker, activist and UN Ambassador for the World Food Program in Nigeria, said after the show, "Our role is to consistently raise funds to ensure the sustainability of the program that the [Nigerian] President has put in place. We want it to spread beyond Abuja [the capital of Nigeria] to every state in the country. The cost is huge and we don't expect to leave it to the government alone."

The Catwalk for Food Program is now headed to other countries within Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Europe and will have a finale in Capetown, South Africa. To help support the UN's World Food Campaign to end hunger, visit www.wfp.org.

This is a[b] really[/b] great opportunity! I know someone in their management trainee program and they have posted him to 3 countries already for all sorts of training and experience. Apply!

I actually disagree with you guys.
If you cannot find an internship in Germany that fits your standard, Nigeria is an excellent place to complete one especially if you intern with an international company like schlumberger or shell in Nigeria.
I go to school abroad and did 2 internships in Nigeria. Not only did it allow me to become on a first name basis with the partners and MDs of the firms, it also allowed me to meet so many people. If I go back to Nigeria, I will have automatic job offers with those firms. Plus they were able to arrange interviews for me wit their offices here.

So my dear, if you want an internship in Nigeria.
Identify the companies, email them or ask around your relatives if they know anyone that works there and voila.
My 2 main points of advice are : Make sure you choose international/brand name companies and forget about pay. They will pay you but basically peanuts. Make sure you build business relationships during your internship. Good luck.
