I was impressed in Nigerian embassy in Washington DC. The embassy staff was orderly, courteous and nobody was looking for bribe to do their job. I even got my passport in the mail before the due date which is very encouraging considering the Hell I went through for my first passport in Nigeria.

what is Jupeb?

Pay your pharmacy admission fee, apply for deferment and continue with you Jupeb and if you do not meet the 5.0 CGPA, then you can fall back on the pharmacy. If your CGPA is not 5.0 now, no point of deferring the pharmacy program

Those houses is not for average Americans. How many Californians makes $150k a year?

Ruggedfitness:
A good house in San Francisco could cost you from $100,000 - $200,000 per year. So where is the salary

Says who? $180k per annum is a lot of money and very few American earn that a year..

Ruggedfitness:
That is not money in the United States, stop comparing our devalued currency with the real deal

Johovah witness does not believe in tithe.

UbanmeUdie:




T.B Joshua is not a prophet but a sorcerer!

He is an outcast and a spiritual bastard as far as the Nigerian christian community is concerned.

CAN does not know him!
PFN does not know him!

The Catholic church believes in tithing,
The Protestants also believe in tithing.

T.B Joshua does not fall in any category, so it is ok for him to tell his members to pay their tithes in anyway they deem fit. The question is, is that scriptural?

T.B Joshua is a dundee utd!
No bible sense at all.


Useless demonized pair from hell!

You may have every reasons to be upset with criminal cos they reap where they did not sow but being civil shows you're above and beyond them. Every criminal deserve to be punished for their crimes but doing it by people who turn judge, jury and executioner overnight belong to stone age and should be discourage by every right thinking mind.
I'm not a fan of jungle justice cos when I hear peoplease from another countries talk about how people still get burnt, it becomes difficult to sell Nigeria as a country

yaki84:
not everybody deserves fair treatment!
How will u treat someone who broke into ur house, rape ur wife n 4kids, after robbing you of ur valuables?
Keep d answer to yasef.

You did nothing wrong by not having sympathy for them but everybody deserve free and fair treatment.

yaki84:
what stop u from building a rehab home for these criminals so people will not kill them?
I was robbed on the 19th of jan 2019, so i don't have sympathy for anything that use guns to rob people who r making ends meet struggling.
If u get sympathy for them, build a rehab home for them n stop online advocacy.

I totally agreed with you but need to be done to fix this because it's not going to fix itself? Something needs to be done ASAP or the country will only get worse off..

pansophist:
The average commoner do not reason in this perspective, it’s too logical to decipher. They will rather be robbed off through tithe and expect God to fix all their misery instead of being civil. This is how the public unknowningly contributes to their misery.

Indeed. Heaven help those who helps themselves.

Good but please do not complain when you don't have power, jobs, good roads, good health care system cos Nigeria is Nigeria. We are our own enemy and government just add salt to our injury.

symbianDON:
let Britain be Britain and Nigeria be Nigeria

We keep doing things that can't even be imagine in stone age and when we are called salvage and barbarian, we get upset. We made those that set him ablaze the judge, jury and executioner at the same time?. Let it be known that No sane mind will want to come and invest in a country that is still dwelling in stone age and those that set him ablaze should know that they are among the reason for unemployment in Nigeria and not just the government alone

I will not trade insult with you cos you seems not to know who government work.. read some more and come back so I can evaluate your intellect.









[quote author=cuedish post=62751454][/quote]

You have a point but there is better paying jobs in USA and the government still give food stamps even to people with jobs. I'm not for or against stomach infrastructure but to condemn it is evil. UK, USA, Germany all have different kinds of stomach infrastructure so why can't Ekiti state have one?

Queenlovely:
Nigeria will start coming to condemn the governor.

But let us think for a minute. This thing will continue like this till infinity.
I believe if there was better paying job nobody would even look at government job.

Imagine we sell shares of 100 each to 180 million Nigerians. We would raise enough capital to even send a man to space. Break scientific barrier and build factories. We would be giant of africa. We Won't depend on your politicians.

Even we could put electricity in every home. But we start complaining

You are the idiot here. There is food stamp in USA. That's is stomach infrastructure. Nothing is wrong a government providing for less privilege among the citizen.

cuedish:
That heediot. ....
He has an issue of misplaced priorities +
High rate of poverty in that place called ekiti.
Fayose has practically enslave them

Price? I'm surprised nobody is quoting the price of the shoes cos that's what Nigerian celebrity are knows for.

How long does APC think they can get away with lie and propaganda? Instead of concentrating to nation rebuilding and providing their numerous electoral promises, APC result to lie and cheap blackmail. Propaganda can win you win but it can't get the job done. With less than two years to the next election and nothing to show then APC is going to the dust.

Can you counter his write with fact and figure and not insult? You need to reason like a man and not a little kid.

Reno Omkri Will Soon Put Jonathan Into Serious Problem With His Reckless, Vainglory and Unbridled Lies.

I am disappointed in a learned person like you reasoning like a child. Reno makes a valid point backed with fact and figure and all you can say is who is getting into trouble. The last time I checked, Nigeria is a democratic society and Buhari does not own Nigeria.









[quote author=whateverkay post=62293393]Jonathan is a useless man. Buhari is by far a better president than him. God bless buhari

What does Fayose ambition and Buhari forgiveness have in common? Nigeria need working institutions and not one man can do it all like Buhari and his abject failure is for all to see. Working economy world over built institutions because man last for few years while institution last forever.
I'm neither for PDP or APC because either can make Nigeria better without going to the basics which is build institutions that work and things will fall in place..

lightblazingnow:
When you have just one kick to score the golden goal, you might technically be confused on the style to adopt.

Fayose, faith works by love works not blind calculated movie

I am very sure you are walking in the dark, for those who are close to the governor please pray for him, for he is very confused,he knows PMB do not forgive, and for sure he is on his way to.......... don't mention..

I used to think sponsored protest is only for politician but guess I'm wrong. Nigeria has gone to the dogs...

You can buy a house with No ID. Just pay cash and you're good to go.

HungerBAD:
It is different when it is in Western Countries.

There are long processes you have to go through before buying properties, and it requires positive identifications. Don't forget that the buyers will have to come through the borders of the country, and they will require some kind of Visa to come in,and that Visa will be in their names.

Even Properties bought with a company fronting for them, can still be traced to the owners. And even in some Countries like the US, there are still one or two vetting processes the name has to go through even if he is paying cash, that a lot of people are not aware of. There is a Black list database for terrorists and Launderers that they have to run their name through,and if it fails, they will not be allowed to purchase a property in the United States.

If the properties are in in his names in any Western Country, then it is his.

Magu lies do not hold water.

Let us wait for the SAID properties to be listed. For Magu to come out early fighting, then i suspect it must be the truth,

You are wrong about USA minimum wage. The federal minimum wage is 7:25 while state make their own minimum wage but it can't go lower than federal minimum wage.

Nigerians decided to vote Buhari and take the country years backward. The same way American decide to vote Trump and take America years backward. I really can't explain the rationale behind voting for him and I'm surprise to see a anyone campaigning for him to continue all this nonsense. Poverty is on the rise, corruption everywhere and he took everything to unimaginable height by disobeying court order. This is the lowest of the low.

Buhari is the definition of promise and fail. He had failed to fulfill any of his campaign promises and the only thing that looks like any success is just a window dressing. How can you be fighting corruption when you are appointing corrupt people and even promoting them? It's an irony that can only be explain in Buhari administration

There is nothing to ascertain. It is a vanity project based of level of poverty in the state. How many people in the state can afford a flight ticket? How many airline will want to take a risk on the airport when it is obvious they are going to make a lose due non patronage. We need to have our priority right in Nigeria. Airport should be the least of the list of a state who is struggling to pay workers salaries.

SageTravels:
@Mynd44 Justwise Seun lalasticlala

How I wish we have aviation Master plan based on demand and traffic so that we can ascertain if this is not a vanity project.

US deport UK citizens and UK deport US citizens.. Deportation can happen for various reasons and you can be allow to enter same country that deport you as long as you are not deported on criminal charges.

TWoods:
Good luck to you both.

I think the problem isn't that Nigerians are pessimistic, it is a question of why Nigerians have a predilection for doing things the crooked way. If we were simply honest, threads like this would not exist and we would not require a visa to go anywhere.

Also we need to be sure that we are describing the same situation. I doubt the UK or US would be willing to grant you a visa knowing that you've once been deported for falsifying a visa. But as i said, feel free to try.

You are wrong. I had been deported before and i still got F1 visa 4 years ago. I really don"t understand while Nigerians generally are pessimist. All they see is the dark side of life

TWoods:
If this is true then your sister can forget about going to the US, Canada, the UK etc. The question of whether you have ever been deported from any country is asked on their application forms. Stating the use of a falsified visa as the reason is sure to lead to an automatic denial. Sometimes, pure honesty is better than endless fasting and prayer.

$120 is money when you have your rent, gas, water, car note and God forbid you have a student loan to pay each months. My point is simple, nothing come cheap and for Nigerians to think government can do everything for then is to expect irregular services. I am a beneficiary of free education in Nigeria and I also paid for my degree elsewhere and I can authoritatively tell you, I will rather pay for quality education than enrolled in free but strike infected, lectures victimization of studentstudent, missing scripts etc.

koboko69:
Why didnt y add that the $120 comes with unlimited 4GLTE. How much is $120 a month for sattelite and wifi for someone who as a job in the states?

You're on point. Nigerian want good stuff but does not want to pay for it. Cable TV is expensive every part of the world. It cost over $120 to get a decent channels in States and it could go as high as $250 with all the add on. Good stuff does not come cheap thought DSTV monopoly is long overdue but the new Cable TV is not a rival for DSTV. I am of the opinion DSTV would concentrate on the rich while the new cable TV target the middle class and the poor.

Chartey:
Nollywood producers will still prefer to give Africa Magic their new movies because DSTV pays them better.

DSTV has poured millions of dollars in into the Nigerian Professional Football League without any profit yet the govt did not give them any tax relief. I see this development making the NFF very uncomfortable.

TV stations like Soundcity and Hip TV will still prefer the DSTV platform because they pay them better. Besides DSTV is partly responsible for the acceptance of Nigerian music across Africa.

Many people are addicted to the shows Telemundo and Zee World which TSTV does not have. Not everybody watches sport. That was the same assumption that killed HiTv.

I don't see DSTV collapsing. They're in so many countries although Nigeria is their second most important market. They have over 200 channels with something for everybody.

People don't know that subscription is actually cheaper in Nigeria than for instance Ghana. Cable TV is a luxury everywhere in the world. Sky is expensive in the UK too.

This competition will be good for the Nigerian consumer and is welcome but people please let's not get our hopes too high. TSTV has to earn credibility and our support.

I disagree with you on some point. You can still gradate with second class lower with 10 carry overs. Academic success does not necessarily translate to success in life. My advice to your friend is


1. She need to admit, accept her current situation and talk to her parents cos NO hiding place now

2. Extra year is not an end to life. All she needs to is face her extra year and pass those courses and move on with her life.

3. She can use her extra year to her advantage by looking into her passion and go for it



Note: I have close to 5 carry overs in my undergraduate program and I still gradate with 3.08 CGPA..

eezeribe:
I don't know what her current CGPA is... But with 10 carryovers,I doubt if it's up to 2.0...
I would suggest the following options for her :

1)If she is like the average Nigerian girl,let her manage and write the carryovers,if she can at least pass them,graduate with a 'University attempted degree' and get married because that is the highest achievement of the average Nigerian girl.

2)If she has career dreams and passions,and her sponsors are still willing to help her,she should quietly write JAMB UTME,apply for her dream course Banking and finance and start all over again..

3)If she and her sponsors cannot stand to bear an extra year,she should quietly drop out of the University and get married or venture into business,while telling the whole world that she is a graduate (so many successful businessmen and politicians in Nigeria,are living like this)

3)If she is too frustrated,she can quietly jump into the Lagos lagoon because I wonder what she was doing to accumulate 10 carryovers....

lalasticlala,Mynd44

It does work just like insurance scam work in western world. Every society has it ill and I believe Nigeria and African countries dark side is spiritual believe while someone who want to make quick money in America without working will go into insurance scam. No country is a saint just we go about it different ways..

You're wrong dear. Armed robber attract death penalty and people still go into robbery. Harsh punishment does not deter criminals.

kennygee:
Three crimes dragging us back in this country.

Corruption

Drug trafficking

Internet Fraud

If we can mete out the death penalties for these crimes, things would be better.

But then, our judicial system sucks.

I have had sex inside my cars over hundred times and yet to have engine or transmission issue.

Maybe you are right but motive alone is nothing without backing it with actions. Nigerians does not vote him because of his motives, he was voted in to perform and delivers on his electoral promises. As it stand, he has failed everybody who voted for him and the better he know he need to perform now, the better for him or be prepare to get send packing from Aso rock.

Cinkq:
May almighty strenghten president buhari to fufil all his promises. i will continue to reiterate that president buhari has good motives,this is what is giving some of us hope that Nigeria will be better by the time his tenure ends.
