Hello, does anyone have an idea on how much the Nigerian soveriegn investment Administration pays currently?

Rule 3- Wear A Slim Fit Black Trouser

Having mastered the top half, the outfit would be severely let down by some unfitted, baggy black trousers. This is not the time to try and mask your black suit trousers as formal-ready. Buy specific black tuxedo trousers and pay special attention to the fit. If you have picked a pair with braiding or a silk strip, then your lapel should match this. If you want a pleat in your trousers that is absolutely acceptable but more men these days are opting for flat fronted. Getting these small elements right will benefit the overall outfit no-end.


Rule 4- Black Bow-Tie or Nothing

I am yet to see a good example of a gentleman wearing a white tuxedo without the obligatory black bow tie. Need I add, it should always be a self tying bow tie. Nothing clipped or pinned. Tying a bow tie is a skill every man should learn and it is for these precise moments when it comes into its own. It’s better to wear nothing than to wear a normal long tie. It adds a certain seriousness to your style, something that depicts the casual formal, or dinner formal expression your style should have. If long Tie is what you want, just kindly wear an office suit and leave our precious white tuxedo out of this

Rule 5 - Black Shoes Completes The Look
Always try and wear a black shoe. It gives the tuxedo a feeling of completeness. But that black can come in three different forms; patent leather, smooth calf or cow and velvet. Of the three, I think patent leather is the most common and also perhaps the most appropriate. I think this is partly due to the fact that patent leather really only works with black or white tie. In other words, it is exclusively for black and white tie. Velvet is not as formal as patent leather, but significantly more stylish and elegant when paired with a tux. Some would even say foppish. It is worth noting that velvet only works in slipper form; commonly known as prince Albert Slippers and slung by brands like Stubbs & Wootton and Del Toro. The only catch is that in the most traditional sense they are worn only by a host or a gentleman at his club. Although I imagine few would quip if you were to wear them elsewhere, such as to a wedding. Lastly, we have your everyday smooth cow leather. It does not have quite the shine of patent leather, nor the matte textured look of velvet. But it is elegant and simple.

Rule 1. Tailor it, don't rent

First off, you have to let go of the cheap option. Rented tuxedos may appeal to the average man who only goes to one black tie event every 10 years, but, as Chimmie Ijezie, creative director of Bespoke Nigeria, says: “It’s virtually impossible to rent a tuxedo that will fit you correctly in all the key areas.

“Investing in a bespoke Custom Tailored tuxedo, will have you looking your very best – and save you money in the long run.” You can get a fitting tailored suit from Bespoke Nigeria.


Rule 2. Get the cut right

“The finer details come later, but it is important to get the fit of the suit jacket and trousers right first,” says Chimmie.

Look at the shoulders to make sure the pads don’t jut out. Check the back of the suit jacket, which should fall neatly and in a straight line when fastened. The fabric around the stomach should be close to your body but not tight and certainly never strained.

"The lengths of both the jacket and trousers are also key, too long and you can look swamped, too short and you can come across cumbersome," adds Chimmie. "If you pay attention to these fundamental aspects, you can’t go far wrong.”

As we ramp up to the season of red carpets and exotic weddings,we're going to be seeing a whole lot more male black tie action on the red carpets and weddin events. While super-classic, peak lapel black dinner suits aren't going anywhere, there are always a few trends that creep into the most traditional dress code a man gets the change to wear.

Not to be confused with 'white tie' - a totally separate, uber-formal dress code that usually involves a tail coat and some sort of event with the Queen - a white tux jacket is an easy way to give your eveningwear a crisp update. Perhaps the most famous adopter is James Bond - seen on Sean Connery in Goldfinger, Sean Conner in A View To A Kill and, most recently, Daniel Craig in Spectre.

The tux can be a difficult get up to pull off - it's hardly everyday wear, after all - but stick to these rules and you should be on the right track to looking stirring, not shaken...

This handle has been hacked... Nairaland should take note

What makes you think so, cause he is now supporting the reality. Reality has dawned on the young man or woman and he/she has found out that this present administration don't even understand how to rule without vigorously messing up

sipisipi:
which state of origin are you from?

Ekiti

ghostreader:
Well I was not called or selected but was at the commission too check my name.....I was forunatue to see the list and it contains 320 names on it was told the list are from senators,minsters and other ogas at the top even people working there candidates were not among at all .....people are saw that was called are rejecting the offer cos the money is very low and you will be transferred to anywhere in the country and no accommodation..but I overheard saying other list will be ready next year cos more people are needed.... if you need the job ...just keep praying so you will be called .

I rejected mine too.

I was screened out in Ojo but I am hopeful that By God's grace I'd be called to Onne

emyspeed:
Please will there be supplementary list after the current candidates passes out ?

Which one is supplementary list, is it those that are screened out

Hygibefe:
They have not called me yet. I'm hopeful that I will be called before tomorrow. Congrats for your success... Keep praying for us

Any idea on their salary

Hygibefe:
Has anyone gone to pick the appointment letter pls?

Have they called you? I was called to by one Mr Mustapha who says I'm must come before 29th cause that's the resumption date on the letter. He kept making emphasis that we starting 29

Hygibefe:
Has anyone gone to pick the appointment letter pls?

I'm picking mine tomorrow because today is public holiday

fubie:
God's grace and mercy has brought me this far. I only look up to Him and may His will be done in my life. Sorry to say this Sir, not all 2.1 are better than 2.2. Some second class lower are even better than some first class candidates. Its just that some people schooled WHR things were a bit easy and no much stress unlike us wey gree die graduate from our Nigerian universities. Note: Senator Dino Melaye is a 3rd class candidate so I believe d race is nt over for me.Thank you Sir.

No one is disputing that fact but it's wrong because you disobeyed the rules by applying and you're calling on God's grace. True his grace works but you applying was wrong because you're 2.2 and the instructions says 2.1. If things were organized in this country you shouldn't have been allowed to even write the screening exams but this is Nigeria. I pray God helps you but in the future try and obey instructions so that we can improve our country Nigeria. Goodluck
