Jobs/Vacancies › Unemployment- Non-graduates Are Cheating Graduates In Nigeria by validplanet(op): 11:17am On Sep 28, 2013
it really makes no sense to go to the university considering the fact that those that didnt go to university get more job opportunities than the graduates. there is virtually no work in the society today that cant be done by illiterates who just acquired their skills outside the 4 walls of the university, so whats the point?

take for instance, opposite my house here, some1 just completed a 2 storey building. and i didnt find any single graduate among the workers. the guy just went to lagos and brought some builders who came and built his house from foundation to roofing. all were illiterates who learnt how to build houses outside d university. d question is; why should some1 spend 5 yrs studying civil engineering in nigeria?

go to the mechanic village; all the auto mechanics there are illiterates. and some1 will spend more than =N=500,000. studying mechanical engineering for 5 yrs.

d music industry? i dont know their profiles but i can bet they didnt study music in the university.

fashion design? all illiterates.

i can go on and on.

i pity our unemployed graduates who spent their fortune and time acquiring university education only to come out to find there are no jobs for them.

is fg really serious about fighting corruption?
what is this i'm hearing about immigration employment where job seekers where asked to pay money to apply for a job. and that the director general of nigerian immigration services says he does not know about it. that it was the minister that gave the orders. yet the presidency and efcc are silent?
Politics › Fight Against Corruption Lacks Bite —NASU by validplanet(op): 9:06pm On Sep 27, 2013
THE Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU), has decried increasing level of corruption in Nigeria, saying government should display courage to fight the menace outrightly.

According to a communiqué issued after its NEC meeting in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, on Thursday, NASU also considered President Goodluck Jonathan’s war against corruption as lacking in sincerity and commitment, even with the presence of anti-graft agencies in the country.

“The cost of governance in the country is going up as a result of corruption. Everyone is interested in government now because of what he or she can make out of it. Private sector is being used to siphon public fund and no one has been jailed since the fight began by this government. This government is not doing enough; it should be practical about it.

“For instance, no one has been jailed over the oil subsidy scam. I won’t be surprised if those involved are given chieftaincy titles soon. I don’t think that is good for our system,” he said.
NASU also urged President Jonathan, the National Assembly and the judiciary to fight the war with renewed vigour, in order to save the country.

NASU’s national president, Mrs Ladi Iliya, read part of the communiqué: “NEC-in-session endorses the resolution adopted by the schools and colleges’ trade group council during its regular meeting in Abeokuta April, that the National Assembly should not grant autonomy to local government authorities, as doing so will negatively affect the regular payment of NASU members’ salaries in primary schools.

“NEC-in-session expresses serious worries over non-release of funds for the payment of salaries for the months of August and September to NASU members in Nigerian universities, despite the fact that its members are not on strike.

“The NEC feels betrayed by the silence which has caused uneasy calm on campuses. NEC, therefore, gives the Federal Government seven days, with effect from Wednesday, September 25, within which it should release and order the payment of the salaries; failure of which will make NASU members proceed on an indefinite strike with effect from Thursday, October 3.”

"Use the conversation to find out more about her, but be subtle.

Romance › How To Talk To A Girl For The First Time. by validplanet(op): 8:49am On Sep 27, 2013
Maybe you have seen a girl for a while, and you have been dreaming of just going up and talking to her. Here's how to start talking to her and have it seem totally natural.

1. Make eye contact. Spend a few days catching her gaze every now and then. Don't just stare at her, though; instead, shoot her small glances until your eyes meet and she catches you. When she does, smile slightly and look away after a second. You'll probably blush as well, which is all the better - blushing indicates you're nervous, which is a hint that you like her.

2.Time it right. When you do talk to her, pick a time that's convenient. Don't try to get her attention when she's obviously involved in something else, and try to have a bit of privacy - you don't have to be completely alone, but her attention shouldn't be too distracted.

Make the interaction extra casual (and put a time limit on it) by talking to her while you're both walking somewhere else. If you walk to a class at the same time as her, or you start walking the same way home, this is a great opening.

3. Start with a compliment. Paying a girl the right compliment makes your intentions clear right away - she'll know instantly that you're interested in being more than her friend. Here are some things to consider:

Know how to deliver a compliment. Even the best compliment in the world will fall flat if your delivery is off. Keep a half smile as you talk - it will make you naturally add appealing inflection to your voice. (Try this trick out when you answer the phone sometime and see if you notice a difference.) Maintain eye contact with her, and keep the tones of your voice up, but lower the actual volume - speaking softly immediately communicates intimacy, and it can make her instinctively lean in closer to hear you. If this all sounds a bit difficult, practice it in front of a mirror first.
As anyone who's ever had a stalker can tell you, there's a fine but definite line between flattering and creepy. With this in mind, choose your compliment wisely. Saying something like "You always look amazing in that shirt" can come off as weird if you don't know her well, and implies that you watch her. (Even if you do, it's best not to spill that information immediately.) Instead, opt for something general but cute, such as "Your smile is glowing today. What's making you so happy?" or "I thought what you said in class earlier was really interesting." A good compliment should naturally lead to more conversation, instead of just hanging awkwardly in the air after you say it.
Know what to avoid. If you're going to pay a girl a compliment about her physical looks, stick to her eyes, smile or hair. Do not comment on her body otherwise, especially on the first interaction.
If you want to play it extra safe, pick something you already know she's proud of. For instance, if you know she's a dedicated violinist, say something like, "I've heard you're an amazing musician," and use it as a way to ask her some questions about it.

4. Keep the conversation moving. You might be tempted to stop talking and just stare at this girl, but don't let your nerves get the best of you. Allowing a long lull in the conversation will make things feel awkward.

5. Instead, have a mental list of backup questions you can use if you stumble on an uncomfortable pause.

Ask about what she thinks of a shared homework assignment or an upcoming event. Asking for her opinion communicates that you care about what she thinks, and see her as more than just an object.
Use the conversation to find out more about her, but be subtle. For instance, if you want to find out if she already has a boyfriend, you could casually ask, "So, anything fun planned with your boyfriend for the weekend?" If she doesn't have one and she's interested in you, she'll let you know immediately.
Ask open-ended questions. For instance, instead of saying "So, have anything fun planned for the break?" (which can be answered with a short "yes" or "no"wink, say "What are you going to do to keep busy while school is out?" A question that requires a detailed response is always better to keep a conversation flowing.

6. Make her laugh (optional). If you're sure you've got a joke she'll appreciate, give it a shot. The goal is to show her you have an engaging sense of humor, but you don't want to come off as desperate or cheesy.

still on the war on terror... fg should consider the fooling;

1. Comprehensive identification system for everyone resident in nigeria to include ur origin, next of kins, residential address (should inform d police when u move out of the residence), occupation, photographs

2. Comprehensive laws on zoning the presidency and principal offices of the federation.

3. Comprehensive reward system for the member of the informal millitary/police force eg. civilian jtf

4. Comprehensive orientation of every nigerian resident on national patriotism

let's start from here and see hw it goes...

Sincere 9gerian: Thank you my brother. In fact because of this report, the re-election of GEJ is now a task that MUST be done. It is now my personal problem and responsibility. GEJ re-election in 2015 has now become my personal headache. It is now a DO-OR-DIE affair. If the support was times 2 before, it has now increased to times 10.

If some idiots who call themselves Boko Haram die daily fighting for satanic cause, why cant I die for what I consider a good cause?

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing"- Edmund Burke.

I used to wonder why Asari Dokubo spoke the way he did but now I know. I'm not a coward that will give in to intimidation, blackmail or threat of violence. No one has monopoly of violence.

Elements from the north ruled for 20 solid years (1979 to 1999), but what did we have to show for it? How many new railways did they build? How did they encourage the private sector to thrive? How many kilometers of roads was added within the period? What was the state (in terms of basic infrastructure) of places like Akwa-Ibom, Rivers, Cross-River, Bayelsa, Anambra, Enugu and many of the southern states within the period? How many power plants was built within the period? Was there any middle class (outside politicians and senior govt workers) within the period?

All we saw within the period was further balkanization (creation of more states and local govt) of the country, business as usual and handing down crumbs to sycophants and those around the corridors of power.

The 40,000MW of electric power that South Africa boast of today, was it not built in the last 5 years? It was not built by Jacob Zuma. What was Nigeria doing when South Africa was building power plants upon plants?

If Boko Haram is as result of poverty in the north, who then created the poverty in the north? Who nurtured Boko Haram? The same people that nurtured the poverty in the north and Boko Haram are the same people telling us that these problems can only be solved by a president from the far north. Nonsense!

In fact, the war has just started.
brother, u have to realize that this is democracy and in this system, its the number that counts.
considering the kind of politicians we have in power who can who can sacrifice good governance for personal gain, it will take a miracle for gej to stay in office till 2015. david mark and tambuwal are likely going to betray gej for personal gains when threatened by the opponents who are gaining numbers. what can gej do now? unless he wants to dance with them

Sincere 9gerian: What then do they buy with their hundreds of billions budget? What does the Nigeria Airforce do if they cant provide air support in just 3 states under SOE? The 5 alpha jets commissioned the other day, where is it? The armed helicopters commissioned by the president, where is it?
http://www.ynaija.com/battle-ready-we-are-in-a-trying-moment-jonathan-commissions-7-helicopters-500-patrol-vans-more/

Sometimes its not even buying these equipments, it is about having the right people with right training and frame of mind to put them to use. But basic minimum MUST be provided. All the pot-bellied men in the military leadership and ministry of defence should better remedy the situation. This is why I hate to see either police or military men with pot belly. The NASS should hear this and ask the questions. My brother, I wish you guys God's protection. I'm even fed up with this Boko Haram madness. How was Boko Haram able to gather such magnitude of man and materials in a state under SOE and military lock down? I'm tired of discussing Boko Haram.

Meanwhile, operation BOYONA was only created in last August. How comes its already lacking basics few days into the operation?
@OP, I hope when you too becomes oga, you'll remember to do the RIGHT thing.
is there no way to ensure that the money released is used on purpose? no monitoring? considering d corruption factor.
