atleast the tree trunk in our eye is not kidnapping and killing innocent people.

What do but call what's going one in CAR, and uganda?
Before the chibok girls, where in nigeria was kidnapping most notorious. U better wise up!

The dredging was stopped! Where did you get this?

tonychristopher:


he is living with his parents, and they are giving him food, that is why he can afford to talk like that


at 25 i have left my parents house, no bragging


bro leave him, just that i dont want him to poison others mind

Steve jobs started his company in his parents garage. I am of the opinion seun osewa also did somthing similar. Think big! Dream big!

steppin:

You went to school? So? People who are doing it are silly, I guess?
Bro, from your comments, you still have a long way to go. Sorry to say this, but your level of maturity needs a lot of improvement.
I won't be surprised if you still live with your parents. If you had bills to pay, your folks to take care of, your mindset would change.
Do You think the guy who installs Dstv dish had it in mind when he was in school? He's probably doing it as a temp job instead of sleeping in the house all day and then begging people for money or food.
Funny enough, some graduates prefer going thru the humiliation of begging for money instead of working for it.

God bless their hustle.
I am talking about the bigger picture and ultimate goal here! Not temporary. "They" are of the opinion that if installing DSTV gives you money, then that's it. Stick to it for the rest of ur life! Comon!!!

Shame on ur own institution. Just because you didn't have a sound education doesn't mean others didn't.
It's because of folks like u that have little faith in the local content that's why we end up awarding jobs to foreigners.
Berger and it's likes are established firms worldwide and it's impossible to bid with them with ur likes in the realm of governance.
Tell me the structural work for the house which you live in now was done by JB?
There are indigenous companies in every sector with Nigerians heading affairs there and they do amazing work! But due to the backwardness and mediocre thinking of folks like you, it's difficult to get recognition for their work!

tonychristopher:


THAT IS A FACT, WHAT YOU GET ON THE FIELD IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEY TEACH YOU. THAT IS WHY A BRICKLAYER WILL PERFORM WELL NOW OUR OWN CIVIL ENGINEERRS WILL WEAR SUIT WITH STARCHED SHIRT SPEAKING GRAMMAR

CAN YOU IMAGINE AN ENGINEER ON A STARCHED SHIRT WITH A TIE, THAT IS TRAVESTY

Guy stop displaying this ignorance na! Haba!
Can a bricklayer design 3rd mainland bridge?

Icon4s:


Are u jst waking up to this realisation?
Y is there no BBC Yoruba or BBC Igbo. This is one of the products of 40yrs of Northerners in power.

Why can't you bigots reason clearly for once in ur life? How many igbo people or yoruba people do you see carrying a transistor radio around listening to news?
BBC recognised that and tapped into it, now that the world is becoming more technologically advanced they are targeting the children of this people through the website! Reason with the brain GOD gave you! And stop hating.

cocoduck:

go ahead and supervise, that is why I resisted the urge to attend any so called University in Nigeria, never had the opportunity to go to the US or Europe, but I prefer to learn on my own than go to any glorified nursery school, where things are turned upside down, black becomes white and girl becomes boy and vice versa,just look at how you reason. Okay, what have you Mr engineer designed? or are you going to design whatever it is in a government office or bank office, is it not in you backyard or in your workshop? majority of what we have today as technological marvels were designed in peoples back yard ie apple computer, it is quite unfortunate that Nigerian university grads reason Ta-Ta(babies), no wonder we have millions of electrical electronic grads but we still have to go to China and employ TECHNICIANS to fix our electric power sector, even ordinary soldering, they cannot do, ahhhh were is Nigeria heading to?

Just because you have not done anything doesn't mean everyone is like you! Quite comparing your shitty education with that of others.

So tell me something? The civil engineers that worked the 3rd mainland bridge, hired canoe and went to sit on the water at d location of the bridge and designed the bridge on water there? And after the design the now use their hands to build it and did not hire any labourers just engineers. Is that not what you are trying to say?


How can you make an effective design in a workshop with all the noise and nauseating environment? Design is done in a lab/office by the engineer and when you have your design it is taken to the workshop/factory for production by the technicians while the engineer supervises.

ganasy:

ok

Thanks. But I believe you must have meet people there that work? It's just their success stories and how the were able to achieve it. You have no idea the amount of motivation that gives.

I also was of ur school of thought, come back with the degree and get a job. But bro, Nigeria of today is very very difficult! It's not like how u left it.

cocoduck:

Now I see the real reason the problem of Unemployed young graduates is big in Nigeria, Who told you that a mechanical engineer has no business in a mechanical workshop? Who told you that lie? Look, in a car there are many of the physical laws and principles at play for that car to actually move, be it mechanical or electrical, now, how can you design when you don't know how it works, because I bet my neck you don't know the difference between a diesel and a gasoline engine, do you know the processes that must be satisfied before a for example gasoline car engine starts? do you know how a car gasoline engine ignition system works? the answer is an emphatic NO. In physics both O and A level engine we were thought about electricity overcoming the resistance of air, that is when the voltage becomes so high that air surrounding it becomes conductive, back then it was like fables because I had already concluded electricity cannot flow through air( oblivious of lightning) until I saw that and knew how a spark plug sparks, I don't want to go into technical details but those things you learned at school especially physics, you see those principles in front of your very eyes happening! I want to build a small jet engine, Then I wondered how i will be able to heat up kerosene or diesel for it to ignite and burn quickly inside the combustion chamber, but I never knew the solution existed already, that is the simple GLOW PLUG, to measure temperature, I did not know of the existence of a cheap temperature sensor in car engines, in fact there are too many examples, the people that made these things used the same principles you learned about in school to make these things, and chances are that that thing you want to make has already been designed by some else. So a mechanical engineer definitely has a lot of business in an Automotive repair workshop, OKAY?

Are you trying to sound smart? Because you are just contradicting yourself in that post.
How can you design something and not know how it works? I don't know where you schooled that you believe a mechanical engineer does not know the difference between both engines, you surely had a bad one and I will suggest you go back to school.
Engineers design while technicians repair! So ideally an engineer has no business on the floor of a workshop other than to supervise!

adenjnr:
No shaking

princetutu:
yap and u? if yes, can we talk pls.

U guys been offered admission I guess?

acidtalk:



Without mincing words, you are the one that sound unexposed and one with a worthless over sized ego

@tony, is absolutely correct. It is either you know the truth and just hiding it or you are confused.

Why are you doing 3D design in probably your room which equally serve as your office. Why not go and pick up a job in Insight Communications, DDB and other big firms?

This is the reason why most illiterates end up being far richer than the so called "well read" individuals.

A situation where a professor is a tenant to a woman who has sold akara by the road side all her life and have used her earning to train her children through the university.

Guy, I know businesses one can do and make at least N100,000 in a month without having a university certificate. Companies and even rich individuals will be begging for your service.


Someone mentioned installing DSTV and you shut him down. Just yesterday (MONDAY) a guy came as early as 8am to just reconnect my dstv cable in my room as it wasn't picking signal from the living room. I paid this guy N3,000 for less than a 10mins job. Guess what? While at my place he got 2 other calls from clients to come over to fix one thing or the other. Lets assume he made a total of N7,000 yesterday, even if he doesn't make any other thing till next week, give or take at the end of the month, this same guy you are laughing out because of the nature of his job is making at least N28,000/ month which of course I know is way more than that.

Is he not better than those who just sit at home and eat free food and even beg for as little as N100 to recharge their phone?


ONLY Humility, Patience, Perseverance, and Prayers can take one to the LAND OF SUCCESS. Get off your high "stagnant" horse and face reality.






Check my topics. I have a several topics that will be of help for aspiring entrepreneurs and those who are ready to have that breakthrough.

I do 3d design cz that's in the line of what I studied in sko. It's what i have passion for. I went to school knowing what I want to achieve and what I want out of life, not just going to sko because I wanted a certificate!

My question is why go to school to study microbiology and end up selling ankara? If you truly wanted to do business, why not go into business management or something and be more sophisticated with your offerings rather than doing the same thing someone with primary school certificate is doing?? What is the use of the education?? It only shows lack of planning and not knowing what you want in life, taking chances and hoping to hit gold rather than having a laid out plan to achieving your goal.

If you want to sell akara, go to catering school and learn catering and be a professional at that. Map out ur plans to serve presidents.

So in this line u can start small, even on the street. This is reasonable. But why study medicine and then sell akara and pure water! That's wasted time, resources and effort on the education.

tonychristopher:


DUDE I HAVE SAID IT BEFORE, MONEY ANSWERETH EVERYTHING,IF YOU ENJOY WHAT YOU DO,MONEY WILL COME NATURALLY


SO APART FROM GOD, WHAT IS EVERYTHING APART FROM MONEY?

PHILOSOPHER ANSWER ME

Then you shouldn't have gone to school, you should have been selling ur ankara since it brings you money which in your philosophy equals happiness.

tonychristopher:


STOP DISCOURAGING PEOPLE WITH YOUR MENTALITY, YOU HAVE A PROUD MENTALITY, LET PEOPLE HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND MAKE MONEY, I HAVE SOLD OKRIKA BEFORE, SO ITS NO BIG DEAL, I HAVE PASSED THAT STAGE AND I GUESS YOUR NOT MORE EDUCATED OR MORE TRAVELLED THAN ME


IF SELLING AKARA WILL GIVE ME MILLIONS I WILL DO THAT, PROFFESSIONAL JOB PERSON, HOW MANY MILLIONS DO YOU HAVE WITH YOUR PROFFESSION JOB THING


I JUST CANT UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE ARE SO CONFUSED WITH AN ORDINARY PAPER CERTIFICATE, ABI NA ONLY GO UNIVERSITY, PEOPLE WAY GET FIRST CLASS DEY STREET DEY HUTSLE YOU COME DEY SAY PROFESSIONAL



BRO GO SIT DOWN JOOR

Like I stated before, money is not everything! You claim to be well travelled, you don't reason like someone who is. However, you can go sell ur ankara, I am not stopping you.

tonychristopher:
define professional


are they not profession


before fall there is pride

Go and sell pure water and akara I did not stop you!

Doesn't mean anything

It just means the amount of time the search engine comes across that name on the Web. On Nairaland alone on a single post I can mention "xketchdesigns" 30 times and Google search will list it in the search as 30 plus any other time it is mentioned again.

Am I d only one that noticed how pro PDP are against publishing results online? I wonder why that is?

Wayne2:




In the absence of nothing, find something doing. Before i got my current job, i was doing free work for contractors in the oil and gas industry without being paid. I was building my experience, and i was making contacts while meeting people wherever i go to work. Suddenly, there was an opening in one of the firms, and that was it. I got the job, all thanks be to God.
My advice is Get busy doing something, and also be prayerful and hopeful.

I never said do nothing. I said do somthing professional. This is what I meant and not do barber or sell pure water. I mean come on!

tonychristopher:


Going yo schools will only make you theorise and put food on your table instead of hands on experience

How many mechanical engineers have you seen having an auto workshop ..but there is money in mechanic ..with a million cars in Lagos alone -a mechanical engineer has no business in a mechanic work shop, he is not trained to repair rather design

How many pfoffesor of economics have you seen with firms on their own ..all they do is get paid by an employer

How many degrees does Dangote ibeto adenuga etc got Dangote can have the whole money in the world but he will.never have the thrill of flying a fighter jet! Money is not everything!

They got their experience on the job and that's my take

That is why alaba traders will make the moneys while the lecturers keep striking

It all boils down to the fact that the government has failed the nigerian youth and left us it a shitty economy. And money is not everything!

rationalmind:


Don't mind me.

Sleeping in the house all day long and running errands for your neighbours is more than enough compensation for the 6 years spent in school burning midnight candles.

Think big! Rather than installing DSTV think somthing more in ur professional line. Become innovative.
You went to school for freaking sakes.

Djicemob:
Lazy dudes be likeYou rather collect #100 from your parents to buy recharge card abi? Give urself a white collar job if its easy na.

Why go to school then? It's a simple question? Why go to school to study a professional course?

esdajo:



Lol! Maybe they are still in school and yet to graduate and start working. I want to believe this forum is meant to be informative and no reasonable person would want to share what he or she has not personally experienced

Yeah, that's a known fact.
But you don't have to give personal experience, I want to believe that people don't just go there and it's all read read read! I mean we r Nigerians, that curiosity and hustle is in our blood. Surely, ur church members would have been there longer, you will enquire from them. And those kind of things. You can share what you learn from them here. Don't know if you grab my point?

Why will someone go to school, spend 6 years burn candle and do sleepless nights all to end up installing DSTV for people? Does that make sense to you? Instead why not cut our that years and stress of the uni and go directly to installing DSTV, at least you have some years head start.

It's not all about the money! There's something called job satisfaction.

esdajo:


Really?

Just watch and see how everybody will avoid that question like say na ebola.

esdajo:
Hello everybody.

Thanks for bringing this up. I have asked the same question over and over, but somehow no one seems to answer it. I has got me sceptical about the whole going to germany thingy.

tayoslayer:


I got a mail regarding my recent winter application about 5 days ago where it was explicitly stated, kunlelikeme who is in Kleve also confirmed it here 2-3 pages away. They will definitely update their site in due time before application begins around the end of March.

Thanks

adenjnr:
Rhine-waal a

Thanks for the clarification.

But guys, I still am asking o! Around what time should someone expect feedback as regards to admission for summer. Thanks

tayoslayer:


Most summer admissions have Jan 15 as their closing date. Time is almost up for summer application although a number of schools vary.

Throughout my search for schools, I have been avoiding uni-assist due to cost and stress, rhinewaal was my lifeline and they just joined uniassist . There is god oooo. The search continues...

I just checked their website nothing like that, where did you get that news. Besides it says application has not yet opened.

Anyways, I meant when do they start offering admission not the closing date for applications. Thanks

Abdomox:

Try login again.
