EvergreenDiarie: Hi, have you made progress with your shrimp farming plans. I'm interested too and have been researching. I have gone ahead to purchase a water tank to start the pilot process. Let me know how we can connect. Cheers |

@LagosNIV, I received email and text notification to collect my Passport on the 28FEB2019. I have been requested to provide itemized receipts of medical care provided for myself or my wife after applying for visa renewal through the drop box renewal system. I have the requested documents ready but I am not sure if I should submit the requested documents to the same GSS document collection center or If I am required to present the documents via a physical interview. The instructions on the notice I received does not tell me if I should drop off the documents or bring them for a physical interview. Of the many boxes in the letter, only one box was checked leaving me without a clear direction.Please see the attached document and advise.

Hello AbujaNIV, I completed the DS160 form to renew my US visa. I filled that my wife currently on vacation/childbirth along with our newborn are my immediate relative currently in the US. I think from your earlier advise to similar issues, this information could be seen as incorrect especially because we do not intend to stay in the US or overstay our visa limit. I am eligible for dropbox and I will be submitting my passport for visa renewal soon. QUESTION: Will this affect my visa application? Best Regards, Ufuoma |

Hello LagosNIV, My wife and our two kids secured B1/b2 visa for vacation March 2015 and were scheduled to travel in August. This didn't happen because we started building our dream home and committed funds for that purpose in so much that we forgot to set aside funds for our vacation. Around September 2015 my wife took in and I was angry because we had decided on having only two children. I let it go because I love her. Now we plan to vacation around April because the house is almost completed. We also want to have our baby during this time in the US. She I due around June. I have a b1/b2 visa myself. Please advise if She needs to do a change of intent letter or notice considering the circumstance and her visa type. Regards, Ufuoma 1 Like |

Thats nice. And note that there is no sacrifice too great to offer for your wife. I will iron my wife's clothes anyday. I am pretty sure you are newly weds. You will learn more as you progress in your marriage and God will help your marriage blossom. |

According to ThisDay report, President Jonathan observed at a meeting of PACP in Abuja that “demand for energy is far greater than available capacity,…” and further noted that “South Africa, a nation of some 47 million people generates about 50,000MW. For Nigeria, a nation of 150 million people to realize the ambition of becoming one of the 20 largest economies in the world by the year 2020, we should be thinking of producing some 80,000MW as soon as possible.” Now, the question is, how feasible is it to bridge the gap in just 10 years, as this would require annual supplementary provision of about 7.700MW annually for the next 10 years to supplement the meager current capacity of 3000MW! Well, the Punch editorial of 22/4/2010 notes that “former President Obasanjo was believed to have spent $10bn to revive the sector through the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPP) without commensurate results. Under his successor, Umaru Yar’Adua, a special intervention fund of about $5.09bn (N7626.92bn) was disbursed in a futile bid to generate 6000MW by the end of 2009! …” Thus, Nigeria expended about $15bn to increase power supply by about 3000MW to the projected 6000MW; in other words, each 1000MW cost about $5bn (with the target still elusive)! In view of President Jonathan’s expectation of 80000MW, a schedule of 7700MW annual capacity expansion will be needed at a cost of about $38.5bn; meanwhile, the total federal budget for 2010 for all government recurrent and projected capital expenses may be less than $27bn, about N4.5 trillion! http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/05/why-adequate-power-will-remain-elusive-3/ As at 2006, Singapore had twice Nigeria's energy consumption while Belgium had six times Nigeria's consumption figure. Nigeria at 50 currently has 4,000 MW but needs, according to Nigeria Energy Commission, 50,000 MW of electricity to realise Vision 20:2020 goals. If it took us 50 years to achieve 4,000 MW, how is it feasible to achieve 50, 000 in 10 years? Added to all this, Lagos Nigeria's largest industrial conurbation currently has only 25 percent of the industries in operation and Kano 5 percent, research by the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission reveals. How and when would the collapsed industries be revived to previous levels and new ones thrive. Not having the art of looking into the crystal ball and without the extraordinary minds of Nostradamus and George Orwell, it will be futile for me as a commentator to predict what Nigeria would become in the next fifty years. Hopefully, Nigeria would prove the dooms day predictions wrong and remain a strong, united, virile and prosperous nation with well established democratic institutions which its citizens will all be proud of. Survivors should be able to look back with pride and rate the first 50 years of independence as the 'bad old days,' instead of assessing their time by describing the first five decades of independence as the 'good old days'. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/issues-in-our-independence-anniversary/81947/ |

What are the basic needs if i may ask? |

Calabar is definitely nice to live in. Or are there any objections? |
![]() |
Can you imagine? Honestly, I think that this country is not heading in the right direction in addressing our basic needs - food, clothing and shelter and giving us the most basic infrastructure (aka - bread and butter responsibilities of any government) - power and good roads not to talk of good education and health services. |

Well, Ive never been to Jos, so I cannot tell. I have only heard that the city is conducive for raising a family. |

No they are being true to themselves. Take Washington for example, it is not the most liveable city in the US yet it is the capital. Abuja is only abuja because of federal presence there. it cannot sustain itself like Lagos. I would prefer that they survey Calabar and Jos instead of Lagos. |

M M M: Why the question? ![]() |
![]() |
1. Italian Even when bathing in a fountain, a romance language is a romance language. Famous tongues: Monica Bellucci, Alessandro Del Piero Raw, unfiltered and as grabby to ears as its presidents is to rears, the Italian accent is a vowelgasm that reflects the spectrum of Italic experience: the fire of its bellicose beginnings … the romance of the Renaissance … the dysfunction of anything resembling a government since Caesar. Insatiable, predatory and possessive, this is sex as a second language. Sounds like: A Ferrari saxophone http://www.cnngo.com/explorations/life/worlds-sexiest-accents-130333?page=0,0

5. Nigerian Nigerian Some Nigerians are actually worth giving your bank account information to. Famous tongues: King Sunny Adé, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde Dignified, with just a hint of willful naiveté, the deep, rich “oh’s” and “eh’s” of Naija bend the English language without breaking it, arousing tremors in places other languages can’t reach. Kinda makes the occasional phone scam worth the swindle. Sounds like: The THX intro with teeth 4. Czech Czech Smoky eyes? Czech. Intrguing history? Czech. Meat-flavored accent? Czech. Famous tongues: Petra Nemcova, Jaromír Jágr Like Russian, without the nettlesome history of brutal, iron-fisted despotism, Czech is a smoky, full-bodied vocal style that goes well with most meats. Murky and mysterious, the Bohemian tone is equal parts carnal desire and carnival roustabout. Sounds like: Count Dracula, secret agent 3. Spanish spanish "¿Número tres? ¿Qué clase de idiota eres?" Ah, no one rejects us so hotly. Famous tongues: Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz Sensual and beckoning, but with the passion to unleash hell kept just barely restrained, Castilian is like a dialectic Hoover Dam. But then there’s the lisp. Tender, vulnerable and cute as a baby’s hangnail -- no one owns the “th” sound formed by tongue and teeth like those who speak the language of Cervantes. Sounds Like: An outboard motor on Lake Paella Best of CNNGo: World's coolest nationalities 2. French French Even when they pout it sounds good. Famous tongues: Sophie Marceau, Jean Reno The demotion of this perennial prizewinner of global brogues to second place may illustrate the declining sexuality of Old World petulance. Still, the come-hither condescension and fiery disinterest of the French tongue remains paradoxically erotic. Sounds like: A 30-year-old teenager

9. Brazilian Portuguese Brazilian She screams, she scores! Famous tongues: Alice Braga, Anderson Silva Perhaps owing to its freedom from French influence, the Brazilian Portuguese accent has a more colorful, puerile flair than its coarser European counterpart. The resulting yowl of drawn-out vowels reveals a flirty freedom of spirit that sounds like a permanent vacation. Sounds like: The near, then far, then near again hum of a low-wattage vacuum cleaner that runs on dance sweat 8. U.S. Southern cowgirl Y'all, we love it when y'all call us y'all. Especially when y'all are wearing orange chaps. Famous tongues: Matthew McConaughy, Britney Spears There’s nothing sexy about being in a hurry, and you could clock the growth rate of grass with the honeyed drawl -- less Tea Party, more “True Blood” -- of a Southern beau or belle. Sounds like: Molasses taking a smoking break 7. Oxford British posh english "Down to your last pair of socks then, what?" Famous tongues: Hugh Laurie, Sienna Miller Authoritative. Upright. Erudite. Scholarly. Few accents promise the upward nobility of the Queen’s English. It’s a take on the language that sets hearts devoted to James Bond and Hermione Granger aflutter. And, should the speaker fail to slake your most wanton desires, eh, at least you’ll learn something. Sounds like: A crisply ironed shirt playing a harp 6. Irish Irish Just lay off the leprechaun jokes and you'll be fine. Famous tongues: Colin Farrell, Andrea Corr Valued slightly more in men than in women, the Irish brogue is a lilting, lyrical articulation that’s charming, if not exotic. Fluid and uplifting, it can swing from vulnerable to threatening over the course of a sentence, restoring your faith in the world again … right before it stabs you with a broken bottle top. Sounds like: A marauding pixie Also on CNNGo: 10 epic train journeys

12. Argentine The bad news: she finds your bad breath and dirty elbows repulsive. The good news: it sounded totally hot when she told you. Famous tongues: Fernando Lamas, Gabriela Sabatini A historical refuge for Spaniards, Italians and Germans, the hyper-libidinous South Ameripean melting pot of Argentina has cultivated a proud, pouty tone. With its own pronunciation of Spanish letters (“ll” sounds like “shh”) and its own words (“you” is “vos”), this is a dialect that’s hard to get. (Or at least plays that way.) Sounds like: A tightly tuned guitar of G-strings strummed by a lamb shank 11. Thai Muay thai He not only floats like a butterfly, he speaks like one, too. Famous tongues: Tony Jaa, Tata Young With five tones comprising their native speech, the traffickers of this often fragile accent turn any language into a song of seduction. Thai is largely monosyllabic, so multi-beat foreign words get extra emphases right up until the last letter, which is often left off, leaving the listener wanting more. (Or at least asking “Huh?” lustfully.) Sounds like: R-rated karaoke 10. Trinidadian Trinidad If their accents don't seduce you, their mon bosoms will. Famous tongues: Nikki Minaj, Billy Ocean For fetishists of oddball sexuality, the Caribbean island of Trinidad offers an undulating, melodic gumbo of pan-African, French, Spanish, Creole and Hindi dialects that, when adapted for English, is sex on a pogo stick. Sounds like: A rubber life raft bobbing on a sea of steel drums Also on CNNGo: Asia's top 5 celeb sex scandals
