Double N:

6 Million Naira to design a website and host for two years!!! Naija!!! Na Bill Gates &Steve Jobs dey design abi? And the hosting going to be done by NASA Bunch of ignorant buffoons!
Ebele GL, you dey fall my hand o!

Gates would have done it for free! 

Kidding aside, many highly talented Nigerians would build a befitting website for less than 10% of N6,000,000.

OAM4J:

I thought it was N10B before, so it was actually N16.4B

This is enough tool for a credible opposition to finish him during the next election.

Gosh!!! 1 day event that adds not much value to us, or to the common man on the street, for N9.5 Billions?

What 'Owambe party' is this man throwing? Is he crazy?

UNLEASHED:

For God's sake! What are we celebrating

redsun:

This kind of situation is why 419 emerged.419 was born as a result of the corrupt practices of nigerian government and multinational companies like julius beger

The proceeds from the over inflated needs be lodged in a safe account abroad and that is where the mugu comes in to reap where he or she did not sow.

Never blame the player,blame the game.

Hmmm, Word! 

~Sauron~:

I don't care what people say. . . . .Patrick Obahiagbon is a GENIUS.

Cohomology:

Seconded! The guy's vocabulary intimidates many of those riffraff politicians.

2ndThought:

I personally nominate Sam Nwanti  - http://nigerianpresident2011.org/ - for comical relief

This is too funny! Detective ko, C.I.D ni! But wait o, may be we need an incorruptible Olopa in Aso Rock. 

@ Topic

It's probaby time to give an egghead like Utomi the chance to have a go at this enigma called Nigeria. Plus, an Igbo (non-ceremonial) President for the first time ever!

@canuck
What province will u recommend for a legal practitioner into medical law with a masters degree from the UK but not interested in returning to nigeria immediately as this aspect of the law is still new in nigeria. Can you recommend sites where info can be obtained?

Delta007:

Same thing with Engineering. NB just started a program that will accept foreign experience and grant you a P.Eng  ceritificate without writing exams all over again within a few mths

canuck:

Please provide the link for the NB engineering program that does not require exams for the P.Eng certification; I'm sure it will help a lot of people here (Or do you mean their MIT - Members In Training program? if yes, that's not a P.Eng certificate)

Oga Delta-JamesBond, we're still waiting for info on the P.Eng Certificate with NO exams in New Brunswick o! Don't go quiet on me now 

Medlabgirl:

@ house, thanks for all the contributions. CANUCK is a lifesaver; you know your stuff Canuck.

I went to the dentist today, had to have a root canal done, so no be me dey here. I will be back tomorrow when hopefully I'll be feeling better.

Root canal?! Ouch!!!!!

My dentist is nudging me in that direction, and I am nudging her in the other direction! No be me she go take complete money buy house for Florida. . .my teeth dey kampe! Let me show you ->

Canada,Canada,Canada?
What is it about this country sef?

Don't mind dem jor! Canada ko, karate ni!

Delta007:

This is the mistake lots of immigrants make i.e. writing off Eastern Canada or other provinces like say na ethnic diversity we go chop. As someone that has travelled (and lived) the length of Canada, I'd always advise immigrants (especially professional immigrants) to settle in the smaller provinces (NS, NB or even NFLD). There's no point moving to Toronto to rent or buy a house and compete with fellow immigrants to get jobs, while the Eastern provinces are always tweaking their programs to attract immigrants. For instance, if you are a medical practioner looking to practice, you are more likely to get your license easier in NFLD than in ON; infact, you can start practicing in less than a year and get a full license 2yrs afterwards then you can relocate to any province of your choice; but guess what? There are thousands of MDs in ON, AB & BC that have been applying for years trying to get in the system because of ethnic diversity. Same thing with Engineering. NB just started a program that will accept foreign experience and grant you a P.Eng  ceritificate without writing exams all over again within a few mths; the P.Eng certs are interchangeable within the provinces; but guess what? There are several hundreds of Engineers that have been writing exams in ON. I can go on and on; The trick to immigrating is planning properly and knowing what each province can provide you based on your outlook & priorities in life. If my parents were immigrating to Canada today, I'd tell them, go to Victoria cos it's a beautiful & nice place to retire. If you are into full time business, I'd advice you to move to Toronto because it;s very close to the US and you'd most likely be doing business in the US. If you are looking to settle as a professional and need a license to practice, you need to look for a province that has a clear cut program that will absorb you. Once you are absorbed into the system, you can move anywhere you want to. If you are looking for manual labour jobs, every province offers something although there are obviously more factories in ON, so there are more opportunities there. But then again, there are usually lesser applicants for every position advertised in the Eastern province compared to cities like Toronto and the cost of living is obviously relatively cheaper. When you find your feet, then you can move to wherever you can to find your diversity wahala; but quite frankly, no offence to other immigrants, I like my non-diverse neighbourhoods, relatively little or no crimes, house value appreciating everyday and you get to deal with people that know how to deal with other people. Unfortunately, immigrants (Africans, Indians, etc) most times end up in this part of the world very arrogant and ignorant, rude, loud and could care less about their neighbours. . .same traits we exhibit at home. I will not buy an overpriced property in Jane and Finch (Toronto) but I'd willingly buy properties in the Eastcoast.

A very useful rejoinder indeed!

You make good points on medical professionals and engineers in Eastern Canada.

Please provide the link for the NB engineering program that does not require exams for the P.Eng certification; I'm sure it will help a lot of people here (Or do you mean their MIT - Members In Training program? if yes, that's not a P.Eng certificate)

Good call on ditching Jane/Finch for the East Coast!

desgiezd:

Is it ever possible to award a contract at a cost higher than the bidded rate even when there are no variations? They have simply topped each contract with #1billion and now the man is talking of mathematical errors. He should go and tell that to the marines.

hercules07:

Canuck thanks a lot, did the filter change c-u-m to come? Do they not mean the same thing?

kokoye:


- - Thanks to my father for shedding tears and beating the hell outta me when I scored 17% in class three basic math - his tears turned my life around  - I had A1 in WAEC.

jidobaba:

these experiences are only sweet to share when you've landed a good job.
and then you only end up making the jobless graduates, 'the others' quite upset

A heart of gratitude towards those who contributed to your life will move you closer to your goals than being Mr. Grumpy.
