OP, reading your story i have to ask myself that hope am not the one that wrote this in my subconsciousness​. i am also under pressure to get a visa and leave this country. I lost my job last year due to downsizing and i have tried some very small Businesses with what i had but at the end none is yielding, people owing me here and there. The economic environment is not friendly.

In all sincerity, i do not really keen about travelling out but what other options do i have left now, i am in my late thirty with a family and we all need to survive. The few companies that are employing make tougher their recruitment Process due to large, unprecedented number of people in the labour market, this make it a bit hard to get a job now. There is no hope in sight that things will get better any time soon.

Well, i am still trusting God on this before i take any decision.

Can relate with your post, dont stop praying and doing critical evaluation.

We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps. Prov 16, 9

You should try and focus on providing services rather than product based business...

Try and look at business you can do right in your house, trading Nigerian stocks is a perfect example....

Which of your no is on Whatzup?

Nigerian universities will not be like Harvard or any of the universities you've mentioned simply because we are a poor country at the moment whether we accept it or not. I got convinced during my first exposure to western education. The UK/US university system gets funding from their government as well as well-meaning donors .In the UK the government allocates a fixed number of slots for its citizens on each program a university offers. For each of these slots the government allocates about GBP9,000 while the student who is able to get admitted pays about GBP3,000 . Thus the university gets a fee of approximately GBP12,000 on each student aside from research grants, fees from international students and other source of funding. I looked at the university of glasgow budget for 2014 and its was around the region of GBP500M . More than the budget of an entire state in Nigeria. Our universities are poorly funded and as such cannot compete with universities in the first world.

A revolution will not bring UI and HArvard at par. Nigerians need to focus/tackle the root cause of our problems and rather than allowing emotion take control of our reasoning.

Nigerian universities can be like Havard if the elites/leaders get their focus right. We are not poor but our leaders have failed to harness our resources to reach our full potentials due to their greed. That,s the problem!

History teaches us that Obafemi Awolowo performed wonders (Built a university, cocoa house,gave free education to all & sundry etc)just from the proceed of cocoa production and processing. Nigerians should be living in El Dorado by now if our leaders are not greedy and myopic

History teaches us that there has been no real societal change without element of revolution & violence. You will wonder how UI VC that attended the convocation of his son in US will come back a week after and shut down a citadel of learning. I can bet that he will not shut down that school if his son and children of Atiku, Buhari, Babangida, etc are students of U.I.

Funding of university is a function and ability of our leaders to put our resources to full use. Until the masses unite and stand up to fight every injustice from the elites with force and violence, we will continue to suffer in silence and at the same time create hydra headed problems for future generations to come.

Dear nairalanders, plz i need advice from experienced minds. I am 28 years old and have been workin in a Bank for three years ( i am fairly confortable ). But i have been under pressure by my dad to advance my studies abroad.

The issue here is that it feels i will be starting life all over again, after the MSC then what ? Come back ? Job search again?? I also have a girl friend i have been committed to and we both have been planning to settle down next yr.

I am so confused and i cant plan my future any longer. Some people have adviced that living abroad is always better than nigeria while others have said , if you are ok here why move.

Plz career experts and experinced ones should plz advice me putting into consideration my relationship commitments too.

Pls go for that Msc if you like Academics, make a distinction and schools will pick you up for a PHD . don't be afraid

The banking industry is a mess, promotion is tight and gone are those days when they promote sharply. U will be in a worst situation when they sack you, u will become unemployed and your girlfriend will leave you for another rich banker......sharply leave this naija....

abnot:
You sound so bitter . Studying in the UK or anywhere else is not a crime and don't make the assumption that everyone with a child studying in the west is/was a looter . Celebrate good things and work towards getting your own / progressing in life. No need ranting at the man.

We still have a long way to go in Nigeria if we still have folks reasoning this way.

There is no big deal in studying in the UK if our leaders create an environment for our universities to rank at par with these foreign universities in terms of quality. If OAU, Unilag and UI ranking is same as Havard and Cambridge in terms of quality and ranking, no one will give a damn about someone going to UK to study.

We need a revolution, that is the only way forward but I dont think this generation is ready for this!

and what would watching almost/all your friends die do to you?

you think playing with grandkids suddenly replaces a good chat with bestfriends?

We all have different destiny and pathway

Anna Mary Robertson Moses, better known as Grandma Moses, began her prolific painting career at 78. In 2006, one of her paintings sold for $1.2 million.

afroniger:
What is the point of a long life where you get to witness the death of your own offsprings and spend the remainder of your days waiting to die since you lack the strength and vigour to achieve much else? For me, I'm ready exit this world after I clock 70 or 80 years of age. You can stick a fork in me because by then I am as good as done.

It is a function of your mentality.

Moses was 120 years old when he died, yet his eyesight was clear, and he was as strong as ever. Deut 34:7

All you need is Gods grace and focus on the vision God sent you to do on earth.

Some folks destiny starts at 60...while some ends at 60.

Good afternoon. please I have filled and submitted the e-dividend forms early this month, on the 6th to my bank, GTBank and was told that's all I have to do, I am yet to receive any email or alert as regards the dividend.

Write the Registrar via their customer care mail to confirm if they have already processed your E- Dividend Mandate on your account.
If positive, e-mail them to credit all your outstanding dividend to your account.
It takes them like 5 business day, just make sure you follow up.

jamace:
Some of the brokers are playing pranks. They don't want to pay dividends to customers. I have filled and submitted many edividend forms, yet no payment. They keep on forwarding edividend forms to me to complete. The annoying and sad aspect is that ALL my dead bone stocks have been placed on NBBS but my living stocks, filled on the same edividend forms, have not been approved on NBBS.

Annoyingly too, these brokers will never fail to send seasons greetings (xmas greetings, Easter greetings, Democracy day greetings, Sallah greetings......etc) telling you that they cherish their customers.

Na wa for corruption in Naija o.

Pls mail the registrar and advise them to credit your account once you have e mandate on your acct. First Registrar/Data max just credit my account with all outstanding dividend.

unitedsurv:
Nobody should blame God here o coz
1. God says my ways are not your ways just as far the heavens is to the earth so my ways are totally different from yours

2. the foolishnes of yours is much more wiser than the wisest..how about his wisdom?

3. only God knows those that serve him in truth

4. who are we humans to question God's way

5. if this is not convincing enough I advise go serve the devil and see how life is there

Sometimes when I read some portion of the Bible, I am just lost for words..

The LORD says. ‘Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.

Its simply Gods choice of who he hate and who he loved.

This is the bitter truth,

- No prophet will solve your problem, prophets can only guide you and reveal specific instruction from God.
- Only God can deal with this type of stronghold.
- You need to develop yourself spiritually, move to a Bible Believing Church and be committed.
- Take fasting and prayers seriously and continue to seek the face of God.....
- You also need to be patient, Gods timetable is different from your timetable.....
- Just keep looking to God, you will come back with a testimony.......

God always take his time to prepare us for his works; It took 27 years for Abram, 22 years for Joseph, 13 years for David to become king, 7 more years before he was king over the whole nation, and 14 years for Paul.

Pls be patient and continue to seek his face, you have a great destiny to fulfill.

Seen your package has been sent to Ilesha, osun state.

Tks a Million. Received..

One of the major mistakes of PMB is not facing the economy squarely right from the start. People dont respond to anti corruption crusade if they are hungry and cant afford the basic necessities of life. Some states are owing 6 months salaries with =N=18k minimum wage and how do you expect a family with at least 2 children to feed and afford the basic necessities of life ?

When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.

Pls check your whatzup messages

Madam Justi4Jesu,

veecovee:
Folks, I'm suspecting that this latest SEC e-dividend stuff is one this regime's anti corruption movements, to check multiple account holders. If not, has any of us here being paid any of his old and forgotten dividend

I always prefer to send my e-dividend to Registrar so I can follow up. I just completed for all my stocks with First Registrar.

After confirmation of receipt, I mail them to credit all my outstanding old dividend into my account. They replied that this will be done in a couple of days...

WorldRichest:
That was a great man that called off the bluff of the military tyrant and stayed, fought and died in the process. The other "great" man, declared war, and ran to Ivory Coast and thereby sacrificed three million of his people to the god of iron and thunder.

Abiola forgot that,

'He who fight and run will live to fight another day, but he who is in the battle slain can never rise and fight again.

Discretion is a better part of valor, a strong warrior with valor but lack discretion will be slain in some battles.

#NoteToSelf

Fx user.. Pls what are ur observations on Presco

sapientia:
ooh... he did not kill nor disappear any of his victims...

lesser crime for him..

just pray they will just pity him and shoot his 2 legs... shoot his 2 hands after a week.. amputate both hands and leg... blind him and let him go in peace..

He doesnt kill people.

Exactly, the guy still get a heart. He did not kill any of his victims.

Coolcash1:
Honestly, it's about to get messier...I bet the north didn't bargain for this...

Investment wise, the political risk in the country is too high and needs to be pruned. No investor, reading all these threats will be comfortable putting his money in the stock market or any sector of the economy... Uncertainty kills FDI and economic prosperity of the citizens. What does this mean for stock investors? while it is not to cause fear and panic in anyone, it's wisdom we stay watchful and follow up events on this issue very well so as not to be trapped again...Or am I taking it too far? Well, may be not- its just the kind of country we live in...

Time will tell...

Thank God Baba no dey naija.. We are okay with Baba in London.

Which dirty alert. CSCS has been charging me fee for alert which I was getting before but suddenly stopped..I have complained severally to my broker but nothing has been done since then.

To those defending brokers like cheap-ass- dirty- stinking wig lawyer, I pity you. Never stick out your neck for any of them. The short cuts and sharp practices they do with clients money cannot make me vouch for them.

For those not satisfied with Morgan, you can move to TRW Stockbrokers they have good customer relations and friendly charges...

Can you assist to state their charges here ?

Sincerely, Morgan self no dey try .... na so dem make person loose money last for their suspension when bear dey mkt. Bull dey now... u shut traders out.
