I'm not one to contribute to nor read religous/faith discourse, i dont not also claim to be an authority on this kind of discussion, but this topic caught my fancy somehow.

Some things Agbaje said got me to check out wikipedia and its really revealing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_the_Just

Cheers.

Thats really a shame, i thought he said the politics of lagos is not a do or die affair ?

I can relate with your concerns on moving back. No doubt about the fact the U.S. and other western world economic condition right now is very fragile, with attendant high unemployement rate.

Moving back to Nigeria i believe is very feasible, if well planned.

Without adequate planning, you may end up spending your savings with nothing to show for it. N2mm might seem like a lot of money but Nigeria can be very expensive.

On my first trip I recall spending in Nigeria, an equivalent of 3 months living expenses abroad in only one month. At the end of the day, it was money well spent. However, with hindsight, i would have taken a different approach.

My suggestions (and that is what it is) would be:

1. Try and reconnect with old friends and acquiantances, you would be amazed how far up people you left about ten years ago (in my case) have moved. Sites like LinkedIn.com (for business professionals) can help.
2. I dont know what profession you are into, try and research your profession's current trend in Nigeria, i know you mentioned that you want to set up a business, but trust me, you need a form of soft landing to enable you cover relevant expenses especially having being used to uninterruptible power supply, mobility, and having a comfortable shelter.
3. With the soft landing, you are better acclimatized and have the opportunity to better understand "Naija" terrain. The naija i left is not the same Naija i met, and you would be amazed how your environment (living in the U.S.) has affected you. It took me a while to drive, i couldnt just cope!!!
4. Take advantage of your accessibility to the "other" economy, i am sure there are pockets of opportunities/information in the U.S. you can better leverage on and implement here in Naija. I perfectly agree with what @Ivynwa said.

I hope i have been of help. Just my two-cents. All the best.

Hi Taio,

My apologies it took this long to reply your mail. My schedule is a bit on the crazy side. unfortunately, i dont know of any vacancies specifically for project cost executive. Any email address where you can be reached? i just realised private messaging option does not work on here (or i have not figured it out) and it can be a riot discussing on here!
Ciao!

rokiatu:
I beg to disagree. There could be many reasons why the poster came on here to look for a date.
people from all walks of life, from super gorgeous to unappealing uses the internet to find dates
for various reasons. nowday, lots of people are using the net, and some people take advantage of that. (to look for love)
Though I have never believe in this whole on-line dating stuff, I however do not form such opinion of people
who do.And what is wrong if he is ugly? infact from experience, a lot of ugly (or whatever you want to called them) guys
have partners in the real life. most handsome guys are single. There are many attribute that contribute to a guy been a
good partner then just his look. sweetheart think next time before you post.

What she said!

odiaero:
@ poster, 4 u not to hv find a cool headed girl outside and want one in nland, that shows that u are too ugly

lol ,  thats really funny. Your deductive reasoning leaves much to desire. Not that i owe you an explanation, but if you must know, i have been on a 16hr a day schedule on a project running from Mon to Sunday. Today is one of those days i have a breather.

Maybe i am going about this in a wrong way, but i believe there are adults here who could engage in constructive conversation without resorting to insults. My post is directed to them.

LOVE.4BUG:
awoch!!! That hurts!!!!

No it doesn't hurt. It would only hurt if it were true (re:beig ugly).

@Pweety4me - Cool means cool. Obviously, that does not include odiaero ,  and i dont "swing that way" (he's a guy right?).


Thnks for your time.

Hello there,

I am a nigerian, who has been away for a long while (living in north america). I am back in the country for good and looking to meet one cool nairaland lady.

I am a professional working as a strategy consultant on a couple of public sector projects, 33, single, fit, 5' 10", handsome and downto earth. This is a meeting of two consenting adults. Not looking to meet everyone here.

In turn, you get a guy who is an engaging conversationalist, realist, sexy, romantic (with a revealing and evolving non-inhibition side), and cool to be with. I am in lagos by the way and would prefer someone in Lagos. background, race, etc is not an issue for me. I prefer someone between 25 and 38 (dont have any problem dating someone older) and by the way i am NOT looking for a sugar mummy :-). Just to throw that in there.


Should u be interested pls do message and i will be more than glad to reply with a pic and other details.

Thank you.

Mike.
