I am willing to work as an information systems auditor for any organisation within lagos, abuja and port harcourt. Please anyone with links.

I wonder why many Nigerians will continue living like this.

These fast food joints are even worse during festive periods and special days like valentine.

Just go ahead and name the eateries, I think i will start by saying name and location. Tantalizers Ogba, Allen Avenue, Tastee fried Chicken Ogba, Tastee Fried Chicken Opebi, I think Mr Biggs is doing a lot to control their oulets but the franchice is too expensive making the operators cut cost and standards.

Please name the others.

I heard it is the duty of the Local Govt council to regulate them as they are not under the control of any federal or state agency but I know Lagos state govt can wade into the matter afterall they are using them to collect VAT and consumption taxes.

How much can I get a Toyota Tundra 2002 Model and a Toyota Hilux (double Cabin) 2002 model. Reply asap.

In the magazine (I wish you keep that interview and put it on the web), it practically settled the matter of Joshua or T.B Joshua. Certain questions were asked him (and I believe the person who asked him must be a committed Christian). "Tell us when you were born, when you became a Christian." And he said: "I have been a Christian from when I was born." Zero, Zero, Zero! You do not inherit Christianity. - Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo

Pastor Matthew is a man I have great respect for, for the sake of clarity, let me say here that you can become a christian by birth. When you fill forms and you are asked of your religion, you are either a christian, muslim, traditionalist, etc. What you cant be by birth is a "believer" (or a born-again). On that note, T.B. Joshua was right to have told the reporter he was a christian from birth.

I think most people (elites especially) find it difficult to accept people who made it from a different route from theirs! This is in no way an approval or disaproval of the ministry of Prophet T.B. Joshua

@richie

uhmm, many nigerians in diaspora are faced with the same challenge. Its terrible because things have gone worse than you left it several years back. It is more disturbing when you have to bring your innocent kids from a decent/working system into this environment where nothing seems certain.

as per whom to trust, german007 has given a good advice. conceal as much as possible your story. we often make that mistake when we come into a new environment. things are a lot different here because of the poverty.

you will need a suv in nigeria because the road are bad. i know americans are fuel-economy conscious.

if your family are coming with you. it may be a bit selfish not to consider the schools for your kids, your house, office, school, market, recreation should be within a distance of 15minutes drive (that may take 2hours sometimes in traffic for 9ja). there are good schools in nigeria but consider proximity.

certain areas of the state are bad for drainage, many people suggested the GRAs, some of them are not having a good drainage system, always look out for that, some well designed estates are better. some of the GRAs too are fast becoming commercial than residential. you wouldnt want to be neighbours with a nite club, pub or even a bank for security reasons. owners are fast selling to relocate to newer estates where serenity and private life is preserved.

i started working for people relocating back home early this year with a few results in abuja and lagos. will be willing to render our services to you. be free to call me on 07040298808. thanks!

I keep remembering names of people like Kojo Williams. Individuals with a heart to develop football in Nigeria but this cabal will not allow them survive. Can Governor Fashola head our FA? He is sure passionate about the game and am sure will do well. We need desperate measures else our football will go into darkness for the rest of time.

Nigerians should do their best to be objective in their assessments. Why would you blame these boys. It is just an offshoot of the colapse of the Nigerian state. A system produced these boys, sure they are not your relatives hence our sharp criticisms,

They must also survive, the same bad system affects everything, so dont just blame these boys, come 2011, start by voting and make sure ur votes count, Nigeria as a nation needs an overhaul, more than half of our under-17 team sent home for age dicrepancies for a tournament we are hosting,

Why are we crucifying these young ones, you want them to die on the pitch while some greedy FA officials are constantly smilling to the banks with their families.

The MEND, kidnappings and all that in the niger delta are all ofshoots of the national mess we have found ourselves. How many young generation of nigerians can die for nigeria?

Let us be mindful of the four remaining fingers pointing at us as we point fingers at these boys! Some of them are in their late 30s while there football age is between 20 and 27. Or how do you xplain people fasting beating a team of able bodied men in a game of 90 minutes and a sure they could still go on if the time was extended and the eagles would have been exhausted.

2014 is not only about a change in the NFF or Super Eagles but a national change!

Doubt if this will make any difference now. I had advocated for the replacement of Austin Eguavoen with Samson Siasia before all the merry-go-rounding that finally landed us Shuaibu Amou.

Truth be told, every one reaches its climax and plateau from there. We have watched with utter suprise as Amodu displayed his helplessness and ignorance ranging from purposeless and tactless footballing to poor choice of players and program.

Let me say this, the only national coach we have that seems to know what he wants, where he is going with our football and how to get there is SAMSON SIASIA.

These players will do well under any good coach, what is the difference between a Mourhino and an Amodu (Much you will say, )? D I R E C T I O N !!!

I urger nairalanders to lend their voices to mine as we nominate the only coach who can withstand the evil politicking in the NFF and our football admnistration and can start building us a team that can take us to the 2014 World Cup.

We cant send those evil admnistrators packing but we can force them to do the right thing.

I think Dr. Faseun shld read this article written over 8 years ago,


FASEUN AND THE NORTH'S MORAL DILEMMA



BY



SANUSI LAMIDO SANUSI


"The North" is angry. No reader of the Weekly Trust of Friday 29th December, 2000 with the blazing headlines "Controversy Over Faseun Release" is left in doubt of that fact. The Weekly Trust is the barometer of the North's political climes, the thermometer of its political temperature and the reliable mirror which reflects the most pervasive sentiments among northern people. For this reason, one is highly disturbed, since the anger of the north today is not only baseless, but likely to lead to long-term political disaster.

The greatest irony of the situation the government finds itself in is that it is the somewhat anti climatic result of its orchestrated exposure of proceedings before the Oputa panel. The objective of that soap opera was to reveal to Nigerians the extent of the brutality and ruthlessness with which our past leaders treated citizens. The result, at least as far as the Lagos sessions were concerned, fell far short of expectations.

For detainees like Mustapha and Bamaiyi, the sittings were more than an opportunity to stretch their legs and breathe the air of freedom, albeit fleetingly. At the end of the sessions, El-Mustapha left the populace with an image more of brilliance than of cruelty; Bamaiyi was a "democratic mole" in Abacha's government, whose support for complete withdrawal of the military from politics made him suspect in his own administration and a target of adverse security reports not to talk of his present predicament; Diya turned up like a complete nincompoop who planned a coup that failed from day one, who knelt and cried and begged like a baby and, to add salt to injury, denied before the world TV evidence of his disgraceful conduct; Adisa capitalized Diya's fibbing and captured some moral high ground: By conducting himself with an affectation of truthfulness, he was at least able to garner some of the respect Diya had lost, even if many were not inclined towards sympathy.

But by far the greatest coup of the sessions was that planned and executed to perfection by Bamaiyi. Out of nowhere, in his statements, the crafty general introduced a graphic description of his ordeal vis a vis that of OPC leader Frederick Faseun and succeeded in creating the impression that he was a victim of his "northernness" at the hands of a Lagos State Government determined to promote the interests of the descendants of "Oduduwa" against "Gambaris".

Bamaiyi's statement threw Lagos State Government on the defensive. The government has had to issue long Press Statements and take out paid advertisements to clear its name. The State Governor, Bola Tinubu, with characteristic haste, responded with Chicagoan ineloquence to what he saw as a personal swipe. About the same time, the governments of Zamfara, Sokoto and Kebbi States issued a joint statement condemning the continued detention of their "sons" (Bamaiyi, Abacha, Yakubu and El-Mustapha )while Faseun was released. The Kano State government followed suit. Sule Lamido, our foreign minister (in case you have understandably forgotten we have one) added his weight (or rather, weightlessness) to these voices (some say he is clairvoyant and has seen the president's new-year ministerial list). And now the Weekly Trust, the respected voice of the north has articulated this grievance and brought it up for public discourse. In the sudden emergence of this wave of sympathy the hidden hand of Abacha acolytes who benefited from the plunder of this nation's treasury and who continue to walk in the corridors of power can not be ruled out. Too many governors and ministers, federal and state legislators and party bigwigs fall into this category to be ignored. Yet, unpalatable as it may end up being, this attempt to turn the trial of Abacha et al into an "anti-North" agenda, or to turn those persons into heroes of the North and/or Islam must be exposed for what it is: a self-serving attempt at hoodwinking the North, and dragging it once more into the abyss of moral decadence, sacrificing the values for which it is known on the altar of myopic political goals. What are the issues?

First, there is no logical comparison between the OPC mayhem, for which Faseun is alleged to have some responsibility, and the crimes for which these characters are being tried. The Lagos mayhem is one of a pattern that has taken place all over the country particularly since Obasanjo came to power. There were similar occurrences in Sagamu, Kano, Kaduna, Umuleri, etc. The failure to stop these massacres and bring anyone to book is an indictment of the security apparatus of this government and evidence of the incompetence of our president as Chief Security Officer, Afolabi (the Internal Affairs Minister), Musiliu Smith (the Inspector General of Police), Bola Ige (Attorney-General) and the head of SSS. What the North, and the nation, are faced with is the stark incompetence of the man chosen by northern politicians as the messiah destined to lead this country to the promised land. The point here is that the Lagos mayhem and its aftermath can not be judged by any standards higher or lower than the mayhems in Kano, Kaduna, Onitsha and other parts of this country. In spite of the fact that religious groups played a role in the religious crises in Kaduna, for instance, leaders of CAN and JNI were not prosecuted for murder. This is the logical parallel to Faseun's case, not the case of Bamaiyi and Abacha. Indeed, were we to pursue a logical course of reasoning, what we should ask is why Ibrahim Coomassie, Abacha's Inspector-General of Police, for instance is still walking free inspite of the damning revelations of erstwhile Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Abubakar Tsav.

Second, Abacha, Mustapha and Bamaiyi are held for specific murders or attempted murders of Nigerians. For northerners who are Muslims, it is important to remember that Kudirat Abiola was a devout Muslim wife who abided by Allah's injunction on standing by her Muslim husband at all times. She was murdered in cold blood. One of the cases being investigated is the murder of Shehu 'Yar Adua, a Muslim, and chairman of the Islam in Africa Organization, through what is suspected to be injection of murderous substances into his system. In any event, Islam respects sanctity of life, Muslim or non-Muslim. These and other dastardly crimes were committed by, or on the orders of, people who lack a fear of God and whose hunger for power and ill-gotten wealth knew no bounds. They were not acts committed in the name of the North or Islam, in the interest of the North or Islam or in keeping with the moral standards of the North or Islam. Not one of their accusers has insinuated that their act reflects the values and political strategy of northerners and Muslims, unless one were to give undeserved hearing to the vacuous soliloquy of Lam Adesina , Oyo State’s tribalistic Chief Executive. The governors of "Shariah States" who now support these suspected criminals do so in gross violation of the clear guidelines of the Qur'an and the Shariah they claim to implement. The Quran explicitly enjoins Muslims to be steadfast in justice, true witnesses to God, even against themselves, their parents and close relations, rich or poor.

Finally, the attempt to make these suspected criminals the substance of a "Northern" issue constitutes evidence of political insomnia. The reason the north is in its present political predicament, out of power and seemingly boxed in by enemies weakened and marginalized, is precisely the activity of these persons when they were in power. The silence of the north at that time made it possible for those who, in the best of times, could never seriously aspire to leadership, to capture the moral high ground. The North's path back to power does not lie in moral bankruptcy, but in a return to the path of moral rectitude. The first step is to wash our hands off these characters and allow them to face the fate Allah has written for them, and work with other Nigerians to ensure that never again, from the north or anywhere, shall a group of people visit upon families in this country the suffering visited upon many innocent Nigerian families by Abacha, his family and their security men. It is only in this way that we can affirm our own lack of complicity in those actions and denounce those who seek to paint us all as thieves and murderers. Those politicians who were part of the system and benefited from those crimes must have the courage to speak as individuals, not as spokespersons for the north or Islam.



This is the only path of sanity.

sanusi 's article on the igbos has been removed from nigerdeltacongress link some1 provided earlier. he is actually an islamic philosopher, from his writings he dooesnt sound like an extremist. the sum total of his actions might be based on what he believes or percieves to be the truth in this banking case but he has been wisely drafted to act a script.

People are disposing their houses in maitama, wuse 2 to buy new ones in Jabi.

@ Poster

you are welcome!

I may be interested in the property for a client of mine but the price is not convincing. Is it okay you advice your client on the price if the brief is directly yours? I still sold a 4 unit 3 bedroom in a better condition in that same area recently for 20M and I expect a 2 unit to be less than that. Most times, clients need our advice and guidiance in price evaluation. Awaiting ur response!

is the house completed, ?

if its a brand new house, pls paste pictures and state ur price. thanks!

@ poster

@ our level of education in Nigeria?

most branches of GTBank have 2 staffs and the rest are casual or contract staffs who have not gone thru the gtb training school. heard the same goes for the other banks.

infact, standard chatered bank seems to be the most reputable bank in nigeria (in terms of ethics)and is mostly run by foreign standards using best industry practises. so for nigerians in diaspora, you can consider them, though they have few branches, not like some banks who are already competing with redeemed christian church of God in terms of branches.

@ charges!

my cheque to a client of mine was returned twice and my account was sufficiently funded. my account officer and the branch manager informed me after they had declined the cheque on the first occassion with a flimsy excuse. the second time, it was my client who informed me. I was in lagos so i went to their  head office to withdraw the money and pay in cash to my client's account despite the security risk involved. I took this option after they had also failed to execute an inter bank transfer within 24hours.

i was shocked when the head operations in the head branch told me my account officer and the branch head has been lying to me as there was no reason to have returned my cheque on the two occassions they did. she gave me an escort to pay the cash to my client's bank.

the worst that happened was that i was charged COT on the two occassions the cheque was returned. another banker told me its one of the games they play to balance their sheet at the branch level!
