Top managers in Nigeria would be fucccking lucky to make as much as 80k usd (after tax) per annum!
And u believe top managers don't earn this much in Nigeria....u just lost my respect sir. Anyway, that's beside the point. Wonderful reply from the Doctor, my type of man.
Travel / Re: I Am Planning On Moving To Lagos Nigeria. by Yababoy(m): 8:04pm On Jul 16, 2015
9jaStar:


Hi Nicole, I live in Lagos. Have done for the last 12 years and while I wouldn't quite advise living alone, my opinion is that if your family are confident you can handle it, then it's fine.
To answer your questions:
1. The people are great. Just like everywhere else, you have all sorts. It would depend on where you want to stay. Usually, I would advise the Island (that's the highbrow area, you'll understand when you get here). But seeing as you want to go to College, Yaba or Gbagada would be perfect. Both close to UniLag, one of the top Universities in Nigeria
2. Lagos is expensive. Luckily for you, the USD is pretty strong against the naira so that might count in your favour. Don't knownifnthatnwill hold till next summer though. But Expect to spend in the region of $2000-$3500/year for a one bedroom apartment around the areas I mentioned above.
3. Weather is hot and humid. Anything from 28C to 33C (yeah, we use Centigrade here, not Fahrenheit)
4. Entertainment is good. You've got all sorts. But you'll find that clubs play mostly Nigerian music and going out at night is reasonably safe. Try not to go out on your own and always let a trusted person know your whereabouts.
5. Education system doesn't compare with the USA. But trust me, you'll get more than a formal education. You will learn hard life lessons.
6. Getting around Lagos is a nightmare. Traffic is horrendous usually. But again, if you are at school and you live around Yaba/Gbagada or even Vi, you should be fine. As you'd be going to school against both the morning and closing time rush hour.
7. Finding a job is touch. But get past school first and you can deal with that. Although I hope you don't intend to use the job to finance your study? That will be really tough.
The only person that has made sense on this thread, thanks for this. Ure spot on. A lot of u guys need to stop seeing the world from ur eyes only. Nigeria remains one of the most fun place to be, yes we've got our own issues like other countries too, but I can tell u that the opportunities in this land can hardly be imagined. OP, ure very welcome to come. U would enjoy ursef, only advise is visit for a short term first and gauge ur ability to adapt. Cheers

An uninformed opinion also. Peeps need to do thorough research before passing judgements. How would he just conclude that all pitbulls are vicious. Does he know what responsible dog ownership means? Pleaseeee

Don't go into it is all they say, yet they are doing it. They even buy from non-breeders to sell and yet they are not into it for the monetary gains.

BankManager:

Banks,Audit firms and other financial institutions;though their chances are limited..
However,if any one is given such a course,I would advice he/she to accept the course,take jamb again and work harder to secure the desired course of study he/she is passionate about...
In a country like Nigeria where Insurance companies are in a lampoon of decay,job opportunities and satisfaction are always limited for Acturial scientists !!!
Rubbish!!!

Pets / Looking For Dog Car Carriers!!! by Yababoy(m): 2:55pm On Jan 09, 2015
Please I'm in dire need of a dog car rear bag seat cover to move my dog around. He drools a lot and its usually a lot of work cleaning up the car after a trip, which has discouraged moving around with him.
I'll appreciate if anyone can direct me on where and how I can get one of these to buy as I have searched several pet stores around Lagos to no avail.

Politics / Re: BREAKING: Boko Haram Backs Buhari For Presidency....vows To Bomb If....??? by Yababoy(m): 10:30am On Jan 08, 2015
Some peeps in here are either blind or are just too lazy that they don't read posts before passing comments. Can't you guys just read the sarcasm in the post. So, in supporting GMB, Boko Haram will also praise him on how money was shared amongst the Northern leaders or Boko Haram will praise him for locking up 'innocent' citizens? I'm surprised that any above average literate which almost everyone on this forum is will fail to understand the post. Do I allude the level of reasoning on this forum to GEJ or GMB now?

@Prodegee. I wouldn't wanna join any sides in this discussion but ill like to correct an impression. Wikipedia is never a good source of research. Anyone could post from anywhere and on any topic on it. You really don't have to be 100% correct when doing that. Any site with credible professionals who know about the subject matter of d research is far better. That said, I'll advise u not to quote Wikipedia as an authority in this discussion.
Anyone here that did a research based study outside or within Nigeria should bear me withness on this.

@yaba boy, thanks, I asked few months back about this course then I was preparing to write masters entrance exam. Now the entrance exam result is out and I passed in flying colors. However, I need to know the subject course ouline been offered at Masters level before hand resumption. I want to start prepparing fullyy ahead. My work schedule is soo tight if not wld ve gone to unilag the dept to request for this. Can I have first hand info as regards dis from you. Wld be sooo grateful
Unfortunately, my Masters degree wasn't at Unilag so I really don't know there curriculum. You might actually need to create time to go there to get the information you need. Cheers

sorry.
but i wud prefer my dogs to be aggressive to everyone except me and the members of my family. that is the only reason why I shud want to keep a dog.
presently, I have 2 puppies; a neapolitan mastiff/rottweiler cross breed and a bull mastiff purebred.

i hope they grow up to hate everyone who does not live in my house grin grin grin

Different strokes...I'll rather have a dog that is friendly but knows when there's a real threat and acts accordingly. Unfortunately, there hasn't been any serious threat so I can only assume he'll protect me when there is one, based on the love I've showered on him so far. grin
