Everyone hating on CIS because of its fees

Drawing from the comments so far, it is easy to see that the vast majority who of course are aware of the benefits of quality education, believe that such fees as shown in the CIS quote are ridiculously exorbitant for what really is on offer.

Let us not drag UK public schools into this because CIS is no where near that level no matter what statistic is employed in attempting to make a comparison. The majority of Nigeria's 'new money' elite were certainly either poorly educated or completely deprived of formal education let alone one of high quality. This is evident in the running of the cesspit that Nigeria has become today and hence why they (the new money elite) are the gullible target market schools like these have been launched to satisfy. Finish.

Businessideas:
Thank you for educating him. They generally have a poor understanding of the system yet they want to speak authoritatively on it. CIS is paying cut throat rates to the prestigious exam board like edexcel and international professional bodies like CORBIS etc and they think school fees will be cheap. These are some hidden value these expatriates and wealthy Nigerians may have seen

Educating who exactly?

Educating who exactly may I ask?

Businessideas:
Which British are you talking about? Please read and stop disgracing your teachers. Eton is free? Sevenoaks is free? Harrow School is free? Cheltenham Ladies is free? Search for top schools in England and find out which one is free. None of the top schools in England is free and they are called independent schools(private schools) like we have in Nigeria.The free schools are the Yeye Yeye government run public schools like most countries have.

In England Public schools are held in higher regard than private schools.

Eton and Harrow are certainly not private schools lol

erm , im thinking

wow i wonder where they met.

You ignored the message she was sending. Obviously you are not giving her the attention she deserves. Does she have friends? Does she have an outlet? You work, you come home watch TV or play games. When do you make time to talk to her or show her affection.
She hid the remote in her undies. You went in there and all you took was the remote. I am sure she was in the mood and you had ignored all the cues you had been sent.
Take your wife out on a date bring her home and make love to her

Yep sweet love, repeatedly!

If that doesn't work in the mid to long term then the relationship has perhaps run its course and so you will have to be strong and emotionally detach yourself from her..When you have done that you can then get rid, sending her back to Sambisa or Darfur or any other tourist hot spot lol

Sorry man, I feel for you, you'll feel better as the days go by.

NB: on a lighter note, this your spit spit wife relate to El hadji diouf?

tool(box)

but front page though? hmm

If by definition, 'Nigerian accent' includes wrongly pronounced words or Nigerian manufactured words e.g

Assume; Naija man = azz-hume
Siren; Naija man = sigh-reeeeen
Her; Naija man = Haa!
Sewage; Naija man = Seee-wage!
Plumber; Naija man = Plum-bah!

Or

Indicator; Naija man = Trafficator lol

Etc etc

When all these are 'corrected' by being exposed for several years (I reckon about 10yrs minimum) to the English language being spoken properly, what you find is you are unable to go back to saying 'Plum-bah' just to please some home based disgruntled folk. This is regardless of your age.

The difference being described by some about age is simply that the younger you are when you move to the UK/US the quicker you adapt to the change and you also forget those Nigerianisms in your speech ever existed. This is different for the older guys who will always remember Naijas say plum-bah lol

Finally the older you are when you relocate the less likely it is that you will forge close friendships with the locals in your new location. So you find the older folk upon relocation only/mainly keep Nigerian 'plum-bah and see-wage' saying friends, and this stops or slows down any improvement in their speech.

In conclusion, returnees who have lived abroad in an English speaking country for over 10 yrs and interacted extensively with the locals would stillbe able to speak Nigerianised English if they tried BUT believe it or not, it is no longer their default lingua.

Link anyone?

I hope this isn't the line up we are starting with

Cuppy though.... Hmm

Only an inexperienced or foolish man would guarantee such success. A wise man would take it one game at a time. Well said Rohr.

I'm a neutral but I no go lie, if to say this guy name na Chinedu or Emeka this thread for don reach page 10 by now!

Elxandre:
Lol...
Hardly believable, but Nigerians will believe everything.

Which 20 year old is on £85,000 in Europe?

Especially not a starter!

What is this man saying??

Until the ruling classes begin to engage their brains, stop being kleptomaniacs and strive to provide an enabling environment for the average citizen to flourish; Until the youth are taught that there is dignity in labour and to stop thinking about 'when i hammer'; Until Nigerian's are able to utilise their spare time productively rather than being lazy and poor time keepers; Until the majority of citizenry are united in their ideology and vision for the country; even if *enter name of any foreign company*[i][/i] finds the biggest, world class (not sure of this as an adjective in describing metals) diamonds or an ocean of crude oil reserves, NIGERIA will still remain the uninhabitable zoo that it is today in the eyes of an average human.

Wait o. I have only read the topic of this thread and wondered. If one man can supposedly make arrangement for a generation capacity of 12,000MW (within 2 YEARS)how come all the governments we have had in the last 56 (FIFTY SIX YEARS!!!) have only managed to celebrate 6,000MW even when times are good??

Keep on showcasing your POST-TRAUMATIC-STRESS-DISORDER
If you can be online, I see no reason why you can't play video content of the post you are commenting on.
Oops!, I forgot you are using SAGEM-MY-X5
https://kokofeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/phone-4-Sagem-myX-5-.jpg

Are you suggesting that the invisible woman screaming in the back ground knew the fighters and their exact place of origin? That she was screaming useless Benin people, does that conclusively confirm both fighters are from Benin?

And yea, I am using a Sagem phone, right? lol Dont worry, I dont blame you. Anyone can say anything to anyone online. Why not you eh...continue.

francisbiz:
What is bigger than name was mentioned, not even geo-political zone, but town!
BENIN!!!!!
It doesn't get worse than this

Was it stated as a matter of fact that they were from Benin?

The Idiocy competition on Nairaland gets tougher by the day.

Apparently these girls are said to be from Benin in Edo State, Nigeria. One accused the other of snatching her boyfriend and fight ensued at location that looks like a Train railway station.

What a disgrace, tarnishing the image of Nigeria unnecessarily.

Apparently said to be from Benin...can you substantiate this claim?

ha that one early sef lol

This is a highly ridiculous thread. It is a joke right? lol

that one sef early...

Skmoda360:
you mean i don't know anything about football, smile' , i bet you, you copy this from punch newspaper or sun, guy go and read better football news on teamtalk.com, talksport.com and skysport.com, 5 years contract indeed...your facts are fake...he only sign 2years extension capiche!!!

http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-kelechi-iheanacho-contract-11768902

I think English Language comprehension is part of the issue here and also basic understanding of football contracts.

YES, his contract at the club has been extended by 2 yrs. BUT the extension is as a result of him signing a NEW 5 YEAR DEAL which supersedes his previous contract!! Still don't understand??

This guy don rescue person from Mogadishu una dey here dey speak english

Lilcentt:
Mr too know,the club annouced a contract extension of 2year + his 3yrs
Bt the club was specific enough to tell us that the contract is 2yrs while you nd Nairaland they form oversabi

LOL okay o, na u win. I give up

Skmoda360:
its not 5 years contract nigga its 2 years extension, he had 3 years left on his contract so he signed for 2 years extension till 2O21, naija bloggers so annoying.

Let me help you the 'masses' understand contracts better.

Kelechi signed his first Man City contract in 2014. It was a 5 year contract which was to run until 2019. Apart from the contract duration, the contract included certain 'terms and conditions' which i believe would have included things like wages, bonuses, squad role, etc. He signed this contract as a fresh kid from the academy so you can imagine what the terms and conditions would have been, yea?

Now fast forward 2 years to 2016. He is apparently developing into the star they expected him to become. Unlike 2 years ago, he is now a FIRST TEAM PLAYER and a FULL INTERNATIONAL with a fast growing reputation in world football! The club is obviously very happy. They say Kelechi our son, come siddon make we discuss that your contract again, before all those vultures (Man Utd, PSG etc) begin pass back door dey worry you. So they offer him a NEW CONTRACT which not only extends the duration of his previous contract but also enhanced conditions, a more important squad role and of course improved pay. Now Kelechi is very happy, Man City are also very happy to have the security of his continued services.

The club make a press release showing Kelechi holding a pen and posing in front what appears to be a contract. They announce that he has committed his future to the club. All the vultures and their agents sigh! ...and then move on to the next one.

Meanwhile.....somewhere on Nairaland people are arguing and correcting other people about stuff they clearly do not know much about.

Ha! Alhaji! CokeHaji!

west germany

No be only West Germany na Central Germany

Where did this talk about God picking up calls originate from? Who coined the phrase? I bet it was one of Naijas many hunger inspired, self styled, private jet owning 'MOGs' who introduced this ridiculous idea and as usual the majority of the populace have turned it into the new national anthem.

Good luck sha...shey na call, dont worry he/she/it will soon pick up lol

It seems Denmark are well priced at 7/2.
