A citadel of higher learning... Sometimes, when I hear news like this, I feel so sad!

So, what are they teaching the engineering students there? You have a massive lagoon at your back. There's renewable energy policy already in place, so, the school can't think outside the box except FG's bailout! Nawa!

I'll continue to say it... Protest, whether sponsored or not, whether people will cash out or not has one objective, reduce the suffering of the masses!

We're so difficult in this country that will pamper our leaders, then, fight ourselves. Who does that!

I was very active in the last protest here in ALAUSA, Ikeja. And I'm glad I did, it was very peaceful and even the govt tried to give us some tp, but was rejected promptly. Uniform men later joined us!

The truth is, we're acting exactly like slaves that loves their chains. Even the countries we're japa...ing to can't take these tolerance from their leaders. People fought for that. Seat down at home and be saying some will cash out or the govt won't listen. If you're benefiting for these charades, don't forget, you have brothers, Aunty, cousins and others who are weeping daily

Protest is legal by all definition. The security agencies have just one duty, to keep law and order. Anyone who steals or cause unnecessary panic in the processes, should be dealth with seriously. This should be our messages

I've worked with many of these politicians. They barely care about the commoner. Funnily, it's the oppressed that is still defending them. Or you think Farz or Femi Falana, Sowore and others are hungry. By God's grace, I'm doing fine myself. I won't go hungry, but, trust me, staff will be sacked if things continues like this.

Our leaders knows we're too weak to demand for good governance, they know! They also know those that will speak out, so, it's easily to mount pressure on them, but, if we rise in our numbers and say, no to these insensitivity, the govt will be afraid but to do the right things. Dem no born any agberos in Ojota and ALAUSA to hijack the protest, these can be replicated everywhere of we're truly serious!

Apus:
And here i am thinking of quitting my job of over 300k cause it's stressful as f**k and i find it hard to save.

I don't mind getting a job with less pay that gives me time to face my online gigs.

No company that will pay you above 250k and won't stress you. Like, stress is the bedrock of these kind of jobs. Just say goodbye to sleep as you earn higher

In the midst of hunger and suffering... What's your definition of a flopped protest?

In Africa, we're slaves that loves our chains! I was proudly part of those who was part of the final day of the protest here in ALAUSA, Ikeja. And it was very successful and peaceful at the same time. Infact, the military joined us as we collectively spoke our mind out. The political actors right now are convening meetings upandan, because they know this is just a litmus test and shouldn't be joked with

DND069:
Men, when you gather enough cash, try other African women. Our mentality here in nigeria is bleeped beyond repairs!

The circle of entitlement continues.

Notice most of our celebrities since last year to this year are dating ladies outside the country. Few like Davido said in an interview the reason he chose the wife!

Men are very critical in issues of marriages even dating as in the case of celebrities

Our young ladies should start learning... The world doesn't ends with me, myself and I. Even so called Pastors are now running from Nigerian ladies. Something must be wrong fundamentally!

7demons:

Lol! Matured mind.
I'm glad you're seeing this from a different perspective. This is one of the least things to worry about on a first date(if he's very serious with the lady) would have corrected her cos more of these nasty behaviors are yet to come. Dating is a trial stage: Getting to know someone, there are some things you might not be OK with your partner but find a subtle way to talk them out. Not this childish red-pill bunkum these kids read online.
Don't expect any REASONABLE COMMENTS for the First 2pages of this forum cos most of them are bladderdash from all these young teenagers that's haven't experienced life. I have been saying this: We need to overhaul our educational sector and I'm glad the Government has realized this and putting up measures to revolutionize tertiary teachers.

I love what you said, "dating is a trial stage". In a trial stage, a lady needs to understand and know if the guy is capable of footing the bills. The guy might also decide they get water or something that fits his pocket.

Ladies, please and please, don't behave irresponsible on a date. Be prepared to also take care of the guy. Do something responsible that makes you different!

The problem here wasn't the ordering, the issue is ordering without his consent. It's simple courtesy. I read where some said, take care to a park, se Dem no dey sell things for park?

It's a date... Both of you wants to know each other. The responsibility of taken care of the day can come from any of you or both of you. But, most ladies in Nigeria have this sole mentality that a man should call for a date and foot the bill! Anyone can call for a date. A date is a date! So, however it looks, act responsible

siofra:
This is how you know he doesn't like you. Any guy that's comfortable seeing you pay for anything doesn't love you.

Please, come again! So, any guy that sees a lady pay for "anything" without paying it for her doesn't love the lady?

I wanted to know if this was what you meant. If that is what you implies, I'm sorry to say, you're still single, I guess!

The essence of you working is to take care of your needs. What is even wrong with us! You work and crave for independence, and you still want to be dependent on a guy in a date!

This is 21st century. If a guy invites you for a date and he never mentioned order for food, you better respect yourself. Ordering food without his consent is even a red flag. If you must order, then, you should be able to pay for what you're about eating. It's self respect. If the guy pays, fine! If he doesn't, he doesn't mean he's not a serious dude, it means you should be more cautious next time

Before you come crashing on me... I'm happily married and in our first date, my wife showed me maturity, even rejected my money for tfare. That act alone showed maturity and a responsible lady. I wanted to know more about her and the rest they say is history...

When two matured persons go out on a date, let's be very responsible and be civil! It doesn't take much!

The protest about #EndingBadGovernment is ongoing everywhere in the state. This is the perfect time to call on The Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and The Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) to also address the issue of unqualified personnel in the engineering profession.

I join many others in protesting against the presence of unqualified personnel in the engineering value chain. This has cost the industry significantly, leading to the need for foreign experts despite the presence of qualified professionals within our nation. As the saying goes, "bad eggs spoil the profession." We must take drastic action to eliminate unqualified personnel from the industry.

The government can also improve by appointing engineers to lead various engineering ministries and parastatals. Imagine an accountant being the Minister for Power—this is a mismatch when we have diligent engineers with years of experience in the power sector and other engineering fields.

We need to provide young and aspiring engineers with platforms to develop and grow. One way to achieve this is to ensure that engineering graduates during NYSC are not posted to schools and other irrelevant fields but are placed in roles where they can practice their profession

I am GOODLUCK UDEH and I join many in protesting against the presence of unqualified personnel in the engineering value chain.

This is wrong in every sense. Yes, we should protest, especially with the hardship and tough situation, but, the vandalizing and looting, one can say, this is evil

Thank you sir

You keep hearing projects in the Niger Delta... Most of them are lies. Many of these projects are awarded to cronies and allies of the corrupt government in the region. Akpabio, James Ibori and many of the corrupt leaders in the region are now in one party

The government should tell us how many Niger Delta youth have been employed in NNPC. How many trainings have they facilitated and the youth they've empowered. Publish their names

The East West road, which is the major road in Niger Delta can't be piled. It's a dead trap

Or do they mean, awarding contracts to their friends and thugs are the achievements? Let the statistics be released, showing us true empowerment in the region.

I will continue saying it. The Northerners both literates and illiterates are everywhere in the force, how many Niger Deltan youth is employed by these oil companies in the Niger Deltan? How many seaports has the government allowed to work as that of Apapa in Lagos? The refineries there, are they working?

Our people are into farming and fishing... The lands aren't productive anymore due to the oil drilling. The rivers are destroyed on daily basis due to spillages. My people are left in severe hunger, except for those that can go into crimes like bunkering or carrying of arms as a militant... If you chose the good and responsible lives then, you have to go out of the region or better still settle for the least

Take the statistics of those working in all the subsidiaries of NNPC, Shell, Chevron and the likes, we're the least.

The cost of food and buying of basic needs in the Niger Deltan is a triple of what we experience in other parts of the country. Because, you go to same market you have a worker in these oil companies. House rent nkor? Sometimes, this trader have to travel down to Lagos to buy goods, after adding the cost of logistics to the region, one can't even imagine the cost.

Fuel is more expensive to buy in Niger Delta. Don't even talk about electricity...

We're the most peaceful region with all the resources and hardship at the same time. Not even talking about the environmental impact on our people

The government can be very specific, but, when it gets to Niger Delta, they start talking vague.

Sometimes I weep for this nation. People are demanding for good governance using one of the most effected tool which is protest, the oppressed are making it tribal and regional

See, when these leaders wants to steal, they steal together, no shouting!

You can stay in your house and let posterity judge those who are prepared to come out to lend their voice.

The sufferings is just too much!

TIME MATTERS

Time itself is a critical factor. Often, on site, I find time to speak with my technicians, artisans, and some engineer friends who are earning consistently. I frequently ask them, "Why are you not married?" The common response is, "Ha, Engineer, no money na! The country is hard." This makes me wonder: aside from the nostalgic tales from the 70s told by our parents, has there ever been a time when the country was easy for the common man?

Time, planning, and decisions are directly proportional to settling down and achieving one's purpose. For instance, as a man, you might hesitate to marry without making enough money. It's good to work hard and save up, but remember: there is no amount of money that is ever enough for marriage if proper decision-making and planning do not consider time.

You can buy a well-furnished house today, purchase the best cars, or travel to any country you choose, but you cannot have a ten-year-old child today. There is no injection or technology for that. This means that while you scale the ladder of your career and accumulate enough money before marrying, time remains a crucial factor. Don’t wait until your sixties to have a child in primary school. Don't be deceived; time is a factor.

Note: Today's message is for those working. Regardless of your age, you need a constant source of income before thinking about marriage.

Drop your comment, even if you disagree

I am Engr Goodluck Udeh, and I am emphasizing that time is a factor when it comes to marriage, especially for technicians and engineers

Obiedun:
Do not partake in any unnecessary protest.

Can you State two reasons why the protest is unnecessary?

Hygiene on Construction Sites In The Face Of Cholera Outbreak

Today being Friday, I want to address the importance of hygiene on construction sites.

When it comes to site hygiene, the community or company might not always prioritize it as much as you should. Personal hygiene is crucial because it directly affects your health and that of your fellow workers. It's about more than just wearing PPE

Defecating and dumping waste on site is highly dangerous, especially with the current spread of cholera. Today, I want to focus on the food and drinks commonly consumed by construction workers, which can be relatively unhygienic during this cholera outbreak. Be cautious with the following drinks unless you are certain of their safety and preparation processes:

Kunu

Zobo

Tiger Nut

The goal isn't just to work but to work safely and return home healthy.

I am Engr. Goodluck Udeh, and I want to remind you that cholera is transferable. Protect yourself and your family. Enjoy your weekend!

Then, you must not be more than 25yrs with atleast 2yrs experience to getting a job. Issorite

It's easier said when you're not in the other side of the Niger... The complexity and problems breeding in Niger Delta can't be understood until you live there. As one who's from that region, I grew up in a small town called "Ologbo". Blessed with over 30 oil wells. Aside the constant government lies, this leaders comes to the community take these resources away, pollute the land and make it unsafe for farming, pollutes the water, makes it unliveable for fishes and thereby starving the inhabitants all in the name of oil spillages. You sitback in your region and speak with a wide mouth without understanding...

After my apprenticeship, I furthered my education, during my IT days, none of these oil companies granted me a space to even do my IT or SIWES. Why, I have nobody who knows someone up north or in the political realm. In your community, you see young northerns, guys from Lagos doing ITs and gainfully employed. Long story short, I never had the opportunity to do my IT in any of the rigs or wells. The only slot we got is to become a janitor or someone who will clear the pipelines route or dig gutters form laying the pipes. These are the kind of task the community youths are engaged in.

If this could be for an IT student, think about employment opportunities... To the best of my knowledge, we have Ologbo as one community driving Nigerian's economy, but, how many graduates are employed from that community? Hoe many skilled personnel have access to good employment there in these facilities? Yet, our counterparts in the north are everywhere in the military, leading various battalions, even those who can't construct a sentence or express themselves. PMB even before leaving secondary school already got admission into military school. How many of us down south had that kind of opportunities

Before you talk, think twice

I am Engr Goodluck Oghenemaro UDEH and this is my story

We actually have a lot to explain in terms of education in matters of marriage

Ordinarily, marriage involves two families coming together to becoming one. The only actors that should be involved in the processes is family, every other persons or thing is secondary

In Nigeria to be specific, we do more than two marriages

The day you pay your woman's dowry, that day, the journey of your marriage begins. You're entitled to everything and every part of your spouse, likewise your spouse, everything that concerns you

Marriage isn't founded on the bedrock of religion, it's founded on the bedrock of family

David endorsing the PDP candidate isn't surprising. He Davido is a card carrying member of the party and he's also a youth leader in party.

Vandalism of essential infrastructure, especially power systems and their accessories, can be significantly reduced with the use of advanced AI surveillance technologies.

The advent of AI has brought about innovative solutions like AI-powered spy cameras equipped with alarms that can detect threats from a distance, as well as AI devices that can deploy pepper spray and tear gas automatically in response to intrusions.

Theft is a global issue, but nations that prioritize robust security measures and advanced profiling deliver optimal safety to their citizens. When a government fails to ensure the security of lives and property, it deters investors from committing to the nation. Power system investments are substantial, and thus, guaranteeing security by the government is paramount; other security measures are merely supplementary.
Embracing technology is essential. We can use technological advancements for continuous and effective surveillance if we are genuinely committed to becoming a successful and secure nation.

I am Udeh Goodluck, and I believe that as a nation, we can leverage AI technology to enhance the security of our power system facilities, including generation, transmission, and distribution networks.

Instead make you learn respect from Itsekiri people, dey here dey claim right to insult elders. No be even kick you dey use wake elders for your house. Na cane. Mschewww.

I see how you dey treat elders... Treater! No wonder you dey praise people like BAT everyday, just because they're elders

I have worked closely with Itsekiri leaders in Warri Kingdom and I see their respect very well, atleast, Prince Johnson of Ologbo is an example. Dey deceive yourself!

Respect is not demanded... You earn respect. If you want respect, first respect yourself, then, give out respect!

kingthreat:


From your username, your nonsense post is not surprised. It is widely said that many of your people wake their elders up by kicking them. So ride on.

In this century where facts and evidence prevails, just a little google search or research you still thinks and talks like someone in the early 90s. It's a shame

We're so reduced now as a people such that when somebody say something, we first check where the person is from or his tribe instead of understanding his point of views regardless of his tribe or region. This is where it has led the nation

I thought you'll point out the nonsense thing I wrote. Besides, both players are from South South. So, what's your point exactly. Hypocrites everywhere

For the records, I am from the Isoko speaking tribe. Owhelogbo, Isoko North LGA of Delta State and I speak my mind with facts and sincerity. If you don't like it, then, deal with it!

kingthreat:
Osimhen was badly broought up.
First you insult Ikpeba, now you insult Finidi dey threaten am like say you be your mate?
These are legends that gave Nigeria the best football they ever played.
NFF should discipline him for ranting like this against a legend. Not like he was even terrific at the AFCON. Nonsense and ingredient.

So, both Ikpeba and Finidi that were properly brought up said good things about Oshimen ba? Talking nonsense!

Before you come for me with your ignorance. Ikpeba is my Uncle. I once lived with his elder brother, Ikpeba Snr. So, we're family and from same Owhelogbo, Isoko North of Delta State. Just for the records

In both scenarios, Oshimen was never at fault. Let's start calling a spade a spade and not s shovel. So, your team and tactics failed, suddenly, it becomes Oshimen's fault? Someone who wasn't even in camp with the presence of other players. Super Eagles uptill now still has the best squad in Africa, so, Finidi wasn't handed a weak team. Lookman alone singlehandedly gave his club the recent trophy. So, why singling Oshimen out for the failure of the team?

First, Oshimen is never from the south east, same as Finidi. They're both from South South. That being said, there's cost and effect. No place in the world where a responsible coach blame a player not in the squad for a match defeat, no place! You take responsibility for your failure. So, if the coach won those games, who will have said those statements?

Furthermore, both Finidi and Oshimen, who should be more matured, cultured and well behaved? When a father behaves like a child, he should be treated like one. This is how it should be. We're still suffering from irresponsible adults, parents and leaders today as a nation. Respect isn't demanded, you earn it!

VO9 in his word which he has on record, said "I begged the coach to be in camp with the boys even with my injury, for moral boost. But, the coach turned it down and said I should be with my family". So, why was he lying and placing blame on the young boy when you have enough strikers in the team? He even accused
the boy publicly and suddenly people wants him to keep quiet and pretend like nothing happened. Have you ever be blamed before? If VO9 didn't come out now, what do you think would have been the narrative? Did the coach who suppose to know better thought about his words on the young boy's career when he blamed him? Go see the boy's handle and see bashing from Nigerians who knows nothing about the matter before now. And someone wants him to come out calm without being disrespectful! Hypocrites everywhere!

In South South, we love respect and discipline. But, when you mess up, will tell it to you. We don't pamper the elder and dissed the child. If the elder did not display lies and disrespect, the child will not misbehave. Let's treated issues the way they are. The big question is, "why did the coach lie against VO9?, why the blame game and where's the place of taking responsibility for the poor performance of the boys?"

Was VO9 right with his outburst? The answer is "no!" Could he have handled it better, yes! Be he chooses to handle it the way he did due to the severity and anger the breeded out of the Coach lies and blame games. The coach is the one who lost my respect, not the one challenging the coach of his lies, pretense and manipulations.

Comparing VO9 with Finidi in terms of achievements is the height of cluelessness and disrespect to both players. VO9 is still very young. At his age he's already the CAF player of the year. See his rank in FIFA, which Nigerian player has ever attained that height in FIFA'S ranging? Please, let's be focused on the issue

Get the message and leave the messenger. To every action, there's equal and opposite reaction. This is a law!

You're paying a driver so poor in this tough economy, yet, you're at his mercies... That driver has nothing much to loose, you have everything to loose, so be careful make your driver no drive inside river or carry your kids to kidnappers

When I hear the economy is growing, I struggle to understand. How will the economy be growing and inflation is on the high side. Workers salaries are still the same in the midst of inflation

Please, I need an economist to explain this to me for better understanding...

Just last month, my tfare from Berger to Ikoyi, not even Lekki to and fro was over 75k. No feeding yet, rentage, family upkeep, etc

Sometimes, I just laugh when people talk.

As at 2014, if you earn 60k, you're doing well cos even 50kg rice was below 15k. So, your family can feed fine and also save for the future. Fast forward to this day, if you earn less than 250k, you're a pauper. The question is, how many Nigerian workers are being paid up to 250k monthly?

What labour is asking for isn't unrealistic. If in 2014, a litre of PMS was N89 and now, it's over N600, please do the percentage increase on that commodity alone, so, why should the earnings not be proportional. Go check out budget then and now, check the percentage increase in our National budget, but, when it comes to buying salaries, the workers are always told to sacrifice. As we speak, Nigeria is embarking on a road project of over N15tr

Good evening everyone on this thread.

As an Isoko tradition demands, how should naming ceremony be carried out?

I will love to know as only that of the Urhobos is available on the Internet

Thank you

Isoko Waddooh!

What is this for God's sake!
This is culture na... Culture is the way of a people. So, why suspect her culture just with this flimsy reason

I'm from Delta State, Isoko speaking tribe and the bride price in my family is twenty-five Naira Only (N25). It hasn't changed

This is where your education comes to play, do background check. Check for the family history, illness and things that matters. If her brother decides not to marry, that shouldn't even be your worries. Focus on your journey to family hood.

If you like her, then marry her, if not, let her go... No need to be with a lady you don't see a future with. By so doing, you're also delaying your time to settle down
