ABc trans is 8500 with pasport. 14k without pasport and vacine. As 4 d hotel u can get 20cedis low depends on ur budget

Thank you very much.

Thanks..... But I'll prefer ABC transport. Anyone with an idea of the price?

We are having this problem because as a people, we have this' stupid habit of burying our head in the sand when reality stares us in the face. For example, in the face of this menace, where are the parents? Are they giving proper sex education to their children? Most don't . and that is a serious problem.
Communication is key, and sex education is important. Make them understand why their hormones are raging and leave the doors of communication open, so that they can report suspicious activities on their bodies by predators and don't make your children ashamed of talking about sex with u.

All these and many more done by many parents will stem the tide of continued porn usage, rapes and pervertism and yerimaism.
We should face these issues dispassionately.

Good day everyone, I am due to travel to Accra on the four th week of November, how much is the bus date, and which bus is highly recommended. Lastly advice on hotel.
thank you all

Federalism- All states should fend for themselves using what they have. That's the only way out. This will reduce importation as Nigerians will be forced to industrialize, This will also lead to the growth of more cities and take pressure off the capital and Lagos and will also improve patriotism.

And since the Nigerian entertainment industry is banging right now and is worth over 100 billon dollars, the government needs to take advantage and tap into it. I don't know what they ve been waiting for and why thy haven't done this yet, this should even be considered before agriculture. They can invest in it and take the industry to mars making Nigeria more attractive to foreigners same way the US is. It won't take much cos the entertainment industry is already up there. And these celebs should be stopped from spending unnecessarily abroad. They should be stopped especially from shooting videos abroad enriching other countries. South Africans don't come here to shoot. If you shoot ur videos abroad sell it there. Or pay tax to play it here. And the affairs of MTN and Multichoice should n the likes should be looked into, these companies are not Nigerian. We must always remember this. Time for play is over, this is a desperate situation, desperate measures must be implied. Days of crude oil spoils are gone, we need to start acting like a proper nation or Nigeria will become a jungle in coming years.

That talk about forcing Nigerian celebs to shoot videos in Nigeria is not possible,. We are in a democracy, and anyone can do what he or she wants, as long as it is not illegal. American artistes shoot their videos anywhere they want without being sanctioned for it. What we should advocate for is that these celebs should pay their dues to the Nigerian coffers, simple and short.

GoodGovernance:
Sometimes, I baffle at some economic theories that are being prescribed for an economy like ours!How can you print Naira money(not dollars ooo...) in an import dependent economy like ours??!!!!!!!

are all the equipment required to build bridges,roads and CCTV technologies,locally available in Nigeria,without importation??If we are to pay contractors in Naira,how would the latter get the equivalent dollar amounts to import?

America and Japan can afford to print money because their currencies are globally traded and accepted.

I wonder o! Some people self!!

NaijaTalkTown:
I think the OP made sense. Some people are screaming inflation without even analysing what the OP said.
Anyways, it is true that Nigeria's infrastructure is poor just like it is in most African countries. Printing about 1.60% money above normal rate(or 1.60% of GDP) to develop the infrastructure of the country cannot cause any serious effect to the economy in the immediate future, and the better the economy is managed, the fewer the chances that it would even affect our economy at all in the long run.

You are joking right?

Most of the products that would be used to close the infrastructural deficit in Nigeria, are they produced in Nigeria? No! If you print 1.60 above normal rate, you will still have to change that naira to dollars (or other international currencies) to purchase the machinery, arrange the manpower (because let us be sincere, no Nigerian construction company can manage such a gargantuan project of closing the infrastructural deficit across Nigeria at once) as well as other implements that would be used to close the infrastructural gap.

Considering that the Nigerian economy depends on oil receipts for as much as 95% of its forex needs, and juxtaposing it witrh the recent slump in oil prices for about ear now, the supply of that critical forex has reduced. Now imagine that extra 1.60% in circulation chasing an already depleting forex reserves? Your answer is good as mine.

To all, i know this argument is a multi dimensional one, i have just provided one angle to it, and others can follow suit. Thank you.

P.S. I just became an economics graduate last week. E still dey shack me

At last........ Unilag graduate of economics........ All glory to God for his mercies.

victorels:
why? Abia is not a center of commerce. If he is to do any business, it should be in Abuja, Lagos, Portharcourt or Kano.
Ibadan could be included too. Not in any city in the east.

This is an ignorant post. so you think there is no city across the Nigeer that is worthy of investments, or is a commercial city?
Enlighten yourself n,igga

Good afternoon everyone. I intend registering for ICAN examinations next diet, and i want to ask, what exemptions am i entitled to with a bachelor's degree in economics, and which stage do i start from? Thank you.

Stycon:
Congratulations!

Danke schon

Chylo:
Congratulations bro. Did you decide yet on whether to do an MSc or a PhD directly?

I think i would just settle for a masters degree, then a PhD. If that doesn't sail through, then i will just settle for two masters degree, one in economics, and one in Finance.
@Chylo, are there schools that combine both at masters level?

In about four weeks, i would be a qualified economist too.......
Please congratulate me in advance fellow board members

What level are you in @Tobby? Welcome to the forum.....

Her family haven't been informed and you put it online? With her pictures? What is wrong with you people?! This is death we're talking about,couldn't you have put dis up without her names and pictures especially when you know her parents haven't been told?

I'm sad,sadder cos dis death was very avoidable,this is just a classic case of negligence. I hope her parents sues UNILAG,it won't bring her back but it will teach them to do better. And poles have been dangling with wires in front of FSS for almost a month now,I hope they fix that now.

ttmacoy:
Not smart?

How many Nigerians do we have heading global companies?

Should i list Indians for you? Pepsi, Microsoft, Deloitte, former Vodafone, former Citigroup, just past Deutche Bank. Should I continue?

If we are honest we know he is telling the truth.

We have a poor attitude to work a work always looking for the short cut and quick riches.

Don't mind them. The dont tell themselves the truth even when it is evident

Yes that is him

zoraro:
Is that President Buhari in Fela's album cover ?

Chylo:
In my opinion, a first degree in economics qualifies one to be addressed as an economist, because this is what you are.

Thank you! I think it is an ego thing though on the part of the PhD holders

milychocs:
When you put it this way, their job sounds nice, magnanimous and all that
However....they cripple poor countries, form the reason while education and health do not improve
They have stretched many African and other poor countries soooo tight our future is bleak

They need it this way.....cos with improvement, people will stop migrating to rich, AND COLD AND UNFRIENDLY countries for economic reasons...they need our professionals to service their aging population

You think colonialism and the slave trade are over?
Think again
Sham, scam artists....the World Bank and the IMF

This is evidence based oooo.....it is a real pity, what those things represent

Really? OK o. Let me pretend to believe you.

There is no generally endorsed procedure for training a child. Just like all marriages are different and requires different approach that suits each, so it is for punishing or correcting a child.

We must also understand that DIALOGUE is another form of correcting/punishing a child

More so, the age of the child should be considered. It's is senseless to whip a 18-year-old-------if conversation can't work at that age, only prayers can. There is no point advising a baby of 2 years old always--------Whipping may serve better for such, sometimes.

Just imagine if we were not whipped in nursery / primary and junior secondary schools. Now why is it a taboo to whip an undergraduate? The answer is simple------different approaches based on age.

We must also know that punishment is only intended to CORRECT the child. It makes no sense if the child is only made to feel excruciating pains without getting the message.

We must also guide against the following;
----Making the child to lose self confidence.
----Creating so much fears in the child.
----Making the child to be happier when you are away.
----Not letting the child know when he/she is being punished.

As we must correct erring child, we must also understand that certain traits must be pardoned as they are natural and normal within some age bracket.

This is so true. One of the very bad effects of beating is that it ruins the self esteem of the child in question that drags on into adulthood

honeychild:
I think the cause of the problem is this:
A lot of women endure very painful and bitter marriages. They go through life depressed and oppressed by selfish husbands.
They live solely for their children, sacrifice everything for them and hardly do anything for themselves. (As I am typing this I am wondering if I am not falling into that trap myself lol) And they console themselves that 'when my son grows up he will be do everything his father did not do for me'. When the son gets married, and she sees the daughter in law enjoying a life style she never had, of course she gets bitter and jealous.

I always remind myself and my friends - whatever lace or George or gold you want to wear, please buy it for yourself now and enjoy it. whatever car you want to drive, please buy it for yourself now and drive it - don't wait for Emeka to buy you 'jeep' when he grows up. He will not.

This is so true.

The kind of society we live in here in Nigeria makes it difficult for some men to entertain the idea of marrying a woman richer or more educated than he is, as opposed to how the society in the west is designed.

That said, i can marry a woman richer than i am, but i have to be self reliant and capable of taking care of her myself... Richer than get levels.
For example, consider these two scenerios
Scenario 1
Man's networth= N10,000
Woman's networth= N2,000,000

Scenario 2
Man's networth=N10,000,000
Woman's networth= N15,000,000- N20,000,000

I would consider marrying my girlfriend if the situation looks similar to the second scenerio, but anybody who tries scenario 1, sorry would be his name

As for education, it is not possible, except there is a higher degree than PhD

SonOfEl:
yes I can, both don't expect her not to use it against you at some point, because that's a woman for you. mind you what makes you a man is much deeper than more money and a bigger career. you wise judgements in crucial issues makes her trust you and obey you, because she will respect your views. two, if you are a romantic lover and fantastic in BEDmatics, she will call you lord, trust me.... three, once you are not the nosy and possessive type, it makes her free and herself with you..... there are many more deep things that tames any amazon queen or lioness as so called.

Oga, chop knuckle....... You smart, You sabi

Jenny1010:
Most Nigerians believe that all it takes to become a gentleman is cute suit, a bold tie and a well polished shoe. This is a wrong assertion. What determines if you are a gentleman has nothing to do with type of attire you are putting on; you can wear any attire and still be a gentleman. What makes you a gentleman is how you carry yourself ,especially around women.

To a woman, there's nothing better than being in the presence of a man who relishes in his masculinity in a way that doesn't involve the obvious chest-pounding and cat-calling, but the confident reserve of a gentleman.

Below are some attributes of a gentleman.


1. A gentleman opens doors for a lady:
He opens doors not because he feels a woman is weak, but because he is strong enough to show that he cares about the comfort of those around him.

2. A gentleman maintains self-control:
He does not insist when his lady says "No" as regards to sex. He understands and can wait till whenever she is ready. He doesn't allow his joystick to control his life. He's willing to wait and work for this woman, to fight for her and will gladly hold out for her as long as he needs to.

3. He always listens, first:
Being a gentleman is not about constantly speaking your mind, but knowing when to speak, and, most importantly, when to shut up and listen to your lady.

4. A gentleman is punctual:
There is no phrase as "African time" in a gentleman's dictionary. He makes plans for traffic and other unforeseen event. He respects a woman's time. And if she late, he doesn't need to draw attention to it. A gentleman never keep a woman waiting.

5. A gentleman helps her to be seated:
He pulls the chair out for her, and as her knees bend to sit,he gently push the chair in with both hands on the back rest. "So sweet"

6. Gentlemen are not "Fake Nice Guys" aka FNG :
Don't get me wrong, the phrase "Fake Nice Guys" as used here classifies those dudes who claim to respect women and to be super nice and yet complain when girls don’t immediately drop their pants for them. Usually this is because the girl in question didn’t react favorably to unsolicited poetry, declarations of love, expensive presents or referring to her as “My world” within the two weeks of meeting. This is usually followed by calling her ‘slut’ or other hideous name and whining about being ‘friend zoned’ again. These guys are in no way nice and are certainly not gentlemen; regardless of how many doors they open.
Sure, a gentleman might want to get into a woman's bed, but he's more interested in getting into her head as experience has shown him that seduction is a delicate dance and the man who resides in her mind has conquered every other part of her.

7. A gentleman walks closest to the car lane:
yes! When walking with a lady, a gentleman walk closer to the car lane. The idea being, of course, to protect her from traffic, debris, puddles and other urban calamities.

8. A gentleman never hits a woman:
Yes ! No matter what. There's no excuse. There's no possible argument to the contrary. There's no "what if?" and there's no qualifier. Gentlemen don't hit women. Ever. Full-stop!


The above are not all , there are many more. But let me stop here for now. You can add more if you like.

True, only if she is worth it.

But in other countries, people become Professors at 30-35
All the same, congratulations.

repogirl:
Funny, isnt it supposed to be the man that should move out for a while? He was even the guity one sef but I guess in Africa its the other way around.
