Sand & Granite - ₦260,000

The truth is always bitter. Some of you think someone should be able to help you because he works somewhere or is in. It takes an average of 20 years before he will be able to help. In that time, he will have people more closer to him than you. Sometimes he won't even be able to help anyone until he retires. The easiest help is letting you know a recruitment is ongoing. And sometimes, people working in a place may not even know this.

So goodluck to you if you think because you didn't get the help from strangers to get you apl, you won't help too. You probably will not even be able to help your own children get in even if you want to.

Spot on.

Came into Owerri a few days ago, though I heard about the Monday & Tuesday but thought it was like normal light vehicular movements.

This one was almost 100% compliant.

1 & 2 - The Aba-Owerri Expressway almost deserted, shops locked.

3 - Popular MCC Road

4 - Poly/Nekede Road

Parallel government.

This is one flaw in the FCT, no mass transit system like we have in Lagos.. Fashola tried in that aspect with BRT he brought to Lagos.

El-rufai introduced long buses similar to BRT when he was FCT Minister, but those ones now operate from Berger to outskirts like Nyanya. Asides that, you'll see few Coaster buses running same route, the rest are cabs and private vehicles. I hope the FCT Minister can look into this to secure residents of FCT and environs.
It's a culture thingy, Abuja wants to get there fast so they'll readily choose a private car going their way over a long coaster bus that will stop on all bus stops to fill up before starting the journey.

They will gradually get used to it. The FCT minister just needs to work on designated bus stops for them. Those lagos brt types are more comfortable and better for FCT
Bus stop shelter is another thing lacking in some parts of Abuja, and this contributes to people falling victim, especially when it rains.

Exactly. If its to use the lagos method of nurtw control of drivers and then import mass transit busses or partner with a private company for mass transit bus operations. That would help, because almost every week people are victims of Abuja one chance
Mass transit buses are a good idea but I'm not sure Abuja people will readily enter them. One day, I entered a brt type bus on airport road and I wasn't impressed, I got to my destination 30 minutes later than my usual commute time.

Thank you for this. However, why is it only CONPSS? What about other agencies that aren't under CONPSS? For instance, what about agencies where entry-level employees earn around 380k for level 8? any increments for them
😂

Hello friends, pls i need to ask some advice from the great men and fellow ladies of this house, i got appointment with FCSC last 4 months and got posted to OHCSF as programme analyst, now we are about to get posted again as pool officers by the OHCSF. Please which MDA the you think will be best for a programme analyst to be posted also the you advice one to look for a transfer from Abuja to state offices? Cos i know life will not be easy in Abuja for a starters like me. So is it a good decision to be transfer to a state office than to stay in the headquarters. Thank you inadvance friends.
Cc mohisan Hussein240 KKKP bboj etc
I was faced with this same choice months back though at a different agency, Abuja or state offices. I chose Abuja. HQ might have it's ups and downs at inception but it's still the best in the long run.

Found the gigantic snake in my backyard trying to crawl it way inside the nearby bush, so sluggish with it movement and justice was made to it in no time. This kind of snake shouldn't just bite you because it can be very lethal as we have alot of children in the environment.
a python is a constrictor, should have left the snake to digest it's meal in peace!

Wonderful development. We think because we paid for it, we own it, No, the FG owns it, they're just loaning us the travel document for temporary moving around.

Sapasenator:
About three years ago. It was a bitter winter and I was dining at a restaurant around 11 pm in the night. It was very cold and if I remember correctly, it was -35 degrees Celsius below freezing point and if you pee outside, it freezes before hitting the ground. cold.

The restaurant was filled with everyone white except myself. I looked behind me and it was crowded with delivery drivers working for the delivery app, Skip the Dishes, waiting to pick up food orders. Nine delivery drivers and all black guys mostly Nigerian looking.

Imagine what it means to have to drive constantly in the bitter cold to deliver food when most people are either sleeping or enjoying themselves in a warm restaurant.

Some of these guys are even delivering with brand new SUVs purchased on credits and after a deeper dive, I came to realize our people here live mostly above their means to impress fellow Nigerians. They buy houses or cars they cannot afford and now have to work three jobs and drive on the side to maintain their fake lifestyles.

This is not a healthy way to live guys, learn to relax and enjoy yourself once in a while, do not live above your means and the fact that you are pre-authorized for that big mortgage, loan, or line of credit does not mean you have to accept.

Learn to live your life without trying to please or impress anyone and occasionally, take time off to have fun and enjoy yourself, take vacations.
Very apt. Even in Naija, people do things just to impress others, because of what people will say! A man will decide he needs three kids all because children are a blessing from God and his friends have four each.
