EducationRe: ASUU Rejects N500k School Fee Proposal For Public Universities by wowo2: 9:02am On Sep 30, 2018
theoldpretender:
At the end of the day, it does not matter.

University is not cheap to run. Especially in Nigeria where universities have to now pay for power bills themselves, provide power and water, build new facilities, renovated existent ones, etc.

Corruption exists in Nigeria because Nigerians tolerate it. The day they decide not to, things might get better
Let govt find the money. In a country that doles out over 160,000,000 naira to each Senator every year (outside of actual salary!), education should be funded by the govt. What exactly does Nigeria offer the common man. Merely living in Nigeria is enough sacrifice. The evil of corruption is so horrific and will end the country...that “education bank” bank had better not have people like Saraki etc near it...by the first quarter of 2017, unpaid student loan total was in the region of 100 billion pounds in the UK..i see this as fertile corruption ground for people in governance...slush fund for their shenanigans.

Uber/Taxify should start encouraging dashcam in drivers cars, even though thats another privacy issue, but using the service will automatically have people sign waiver and the can should only be turned on when things start to escalate honestly they both have legit story but someone is definitely lying and that truth can be impossible to find out. If there was a dash cam the moment issue was escalating and driver was asking about destination he should be able to flip a button to record event of the moment thats covered under ToS for uber/taxify users they don't have to deal with this. Dashcam is as cheap as $16 USD
You have a point. If I recall correctly, it was a dash cam audio and video record of a conversation between a Uber taxi driver and the passenger that happened to be the Uber CEO was part of what made the CEO loose his job...

It's practically impossible anywhere unless ofcourse they are not spending a dime of their salary which is again unlikely .

If a doctor in the NHS earns 38k, which is about 3100 gross per month. His total deductions per month including pension ( which btw is a lot in the NHS) would be about 1100 and this is me being generous by the way. He/she is left with 2k then comes the bills.. So pray tell how the hell are they saving 2k a month.
Locum..OT overtime work...

I concur, after 1 year would one get another international DRiving License?

One will always need a full DL so best to do the theory test, schedule driving lessons and do the practical exam as soon as one can make out time..that way one won’t make silly or costly mistakes when driving.

EducationRe: Lady Who Left Nigeria Due To ASUU Strike Graduates From UK With 5.0gp by wowo2: 8:46am On Sep 12, 2017
buygala:
What's the ranking of that school in the UK? huh

With the right sponsorship and a little bit of luck, some 2:1 students from any of Nigeria's top 10 universities can pull that stunt in any backwater UK university undecided

And please drop all that stuff about her being best in WAEC... she is a brilliant girl no doubt... But how are we sure her ''miracle center" school had nothing to do with manipulating her results?

Just like her, I got admitted to study law as well in OAU.... And I graduated from the school as well.. . and having a CGPA of 4.53 in 1st year wasn't all that hard for students in the faculty because the courses taken then, apart from SSC102, were all out-of-faculty and pretty basic... La Cram La Pour sturvs... At the end of my 1st year in the faculty of law in OAU, my cgpa was 4.36...and I wasnt even among the top 30 in my class sad.....

Shitt started getting real in 200 level when we started taking majorly law courses... none of us made it out of the faculty with a 1st class..... And some of my class padis who had exceptionally high scores in JAMB and Post-Ume didn't exactly blaze any trails either...

Point is.. .. She is a brilliant girl who had the chance and resources to study abroad in some kinda lowball university.... If she had achieved this feat in one of the top 10 universities in the UK, then I will truly applaud her.. What she has achieved doesn't make her better than her mates who graduated from OAU with a 2:1... Some of them may have done same if they had the opportunity ...Alumni of OAU like myself will understand what I am saying smiley
Oga me , I too graduated from OAU but errmmm, this post is a bit over analytic and critical.

It is as if o Ja e lara je

It is true we don't have the full story of the history of the school etc etc...there may be tens of people like her but let us celebrate with those who celebrate... grin

BusinessRe: Barclays Bank Asks Nigerians With Less Than £100,000 To Close Their Accounts by wowo2: 8:13am On Aug 03, 2017
Doesn't ring true - some banks have special accounts that require a minimum of 100,000 pounds to operate. Usually those accounts will require someone with high salary payments incoming monthly. This may just be a ploy to get Nigerians with loot money to start opening accounts with them - after all, not many U.K. Citizens can afford it.

In the U.K., the average salary a year is less than 28,000 pounds. Meaning that the ordinary U.K. Citizen finds it hard to save anything after living expenses, they even resort to borrowing.

you sit in your house and keep quoting your parents, oduduwa hall has nice green cushion seats, underneath the oduduwa hall is ODLT 1 and 2. So i can not be confused here. my dear stop mentioning me.
I am not trying to pick a fight..just correcting. Like I said, Oduduwa Hall is the room with orange and green cushion chairs, Amphi theatre was an open space with concrete seating slabs. ODLT 1 and 2 were never part of the design. Those were added to increase number of lecture rooms. ODLT is not the main Oduduwa hall.

You are wrong That was the design - all concrete. You must be confusing the Amphitheatre with the Oduduwa Hall. They are separate. My parents have been in the university since 1966 and they dont believe you
...and I have been informed that the Amphitheatre's original design was without a roof! The roof apparently was built after almost 2 decades so the Amphitheatre is useableall year round. Cushions in a facility without a roof wouldnt be a good idea,

Your reasoning reminds me of the man whose neighbors caught his wife committing adultery. She somehow forgot to lock the main door to the house and a neighbor came visiting and just walked in to some live love movie.

When the husband arrived, all he kept asking was .."in our house? How could she be doing this in our house?". Instead of being mad at wife for being adulterous, he was lamenting about the venue. Na 4 hotel she suppose dey do am? grin

CrimeRe: Man Narrates His Horrible Experience With Policemen In Sapele (Photos) by wowo2: 7:44pm On Apr 20, 2017
Incessant Police harassment was a main reason for my leaving Nigeria. You do everything by the book but they harrass you endlessly just to extort money with made up reasons - one document today, another tomorrow. The last experience, I was forced to drive to a police station and immediately my car tyres were deflated. That was it for me - frantic checks of visa requirements to other countries started the next day!

I have stayed away from Nigeria for about a decade and while still doing everything by the book as I did in Nigeria the experience is different. I drive 50 miles at least everyday but I have never been harassed by police. I have only been stopped once - a passenger in my car forgot to use his seat belt. And wait for it...all the police guy did was make my passenger aware and warn him..didn't even ask for the legal penalty due..Nigerian police are there harassing and killing as if they are not human beings.

capsie18:
Hello House and thanks to all those that have contributed in one way or the other.

Now this is my scenario:
I applied for my Passport renewal and did my capture in London on October 20 2016 and even opted for a special delivery option to my apartment in the UK. Early this month I had to make an emergency travel to Nigeria for some issue that needed sorting so I applied for an emergency travel document which I paid £100 for due to their incompetence( not bothered about that anyway). Now I'm in Nigeria and I need to go back to the UK and I am currently stranded because I have no valid passport and I cant even apply for a new one because they said I have already captured in London. Please house who can advise me on what to do as this is really frustrating.

Thanks
Concerned Individual
Seems like one way out is to make them produce a passport for you in Nigeria. If you had your passport and loose it while in Nigeria they will have to get you one.
TravelRe: Nigerian Passport Renewal Wait Time In The U.K Is A Joke by wowo2(op): 7:57pm On Feb 03, 2017
For many weeks the U.K. Nigeria house website had those that their passports are ready for collection as those told to collect on or before October 13, 2016. Today, Feb 3 2017, the date on the website has changed to Oct. 14 2016!

Hopefully they are not stamping them with a renewal date of the appointment day - otherwise a passport for 5 yrs can only be used for just over 4 years if it takes almost half a year to produce!!!

Hi, it is the same waiting period in Berlin, Germany. Had to wait five months before collecting my new passport. They told they get it direct from Abuja, that's why. Sad but true
Hmm...thanks doubletroublmum, I almost thought Uk is the only European country/member wink. So this is the likely situation in many other places. Not good at all.

If I were to be Saraki/GEJ/OBJ or Buhari's relative am sure it won't take 5 months to have someone crawl on his hands all the way from UK to Abuja and back with my freshly minted Nigerian passport.
TravelNigerian Passport Renewal Wait Time In The U.K Is A Joke by wowo2(op): 9:44am On Jan 22, 2017
It takes a wait of 4 months or even more to collect a new passport after your renewal appointment/visit to the Nigerian consulate in London.
It is unheard of in any other part of the world. You wonder what the problems are that they can not be resolved easily in this tech age. Or is the consulate basically unaccountable and there is nobody or team that can take some responsibility to resolve the issues they may have?

Of course I can hear people sarcastically proffer that you should always make sure your appointment is scheduled for at least 4 months before you need your Nigerian passport. But really, it is 2017 - do we have to accept this mediocrity and live like it is the 1980s? I may be wrong - things were probably better then- I can not confidently conjure up a worse time for Nigerians resident in UK to renew their passports.

The UK Nigerian consulate seems to be oblivious of effects this has on their citizens. I have just checked their website below, today Jan 22, 2017 and the regularly updated "High commission News" section says those that their passports are ready are those that should have collected by October 13, 2016. Surely the Nigerian consulate in the U.K. can do better.
