VeeInsider:


Thanks for your reply and contribution. I'm also getting this message:

"Ensure that the name on your port and other official identification matches the name you use in your application. This is particularly important for visa applications."

How important is this?

@OyoTunjiUSA @mayford, please do you have anything to say on this?

You welcome. Yes, use the name on your port which is your official document in this case.

This is a gross violation of their rights. You don't have any business or right to video them or expose them to the media. They own their bodies.

I don't think it is. They are standing in a public place, so it's different. Just like how police detectives can rummage through your trash by the roadside without your consent or a warrant.

VeeInsider:
Hello everyone. I'd like to ask a question. For example, on my international port, NIN and BVN, the names listed are Chukwuemeka(Surname) Chisom(First Name).

On my FSLC, WAEC, JAMB, I've always maintained the same name, Chukwuemeka Chisom.

I planned to maintain the same name in Uni but I was forced in my 100 level to use my middle name Ama. On my transcript and Uni certificate, my names are Chukwuemeka Chisom Ama.

Will this be an issue when applying for masters if I end up using either Chukwuemeka Chisom or Chukwuemeka Chisom Ama?

I am confident your two names should be enough so long they are in the same order: first and last/surname. The US is mostly concerned with First and Last names.

THERE IS ZERO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MANUFACTURING A VEHICLE AND WHAT YOU CALL 'ASSEMBLY'.

It means THE SAME THING.

It is only in NIGERIA that some illiterate suffering from inferiority complex invented a 'difference' between the two , some years back.

Outside Nigeria there is ZERO difference recognised.

In fact US car manufacturing plants are called 'car assemblies'.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_automotive_assembly_plants_in_the_United_States

If you are talking about building the various parts of the vehicle, NO CAR PLANT ON EARTH DOES THAT.

Do you have any idea the level of all-round expertise required to build ALL the components of a vehicle?

It is not something that is done by a single company.

You have companies that simply manufacture brakes. That's all they do.

Then some manufacture just the carburetor.

Some manufacture gear systems!

Some make just tyres.

Some build steering wheel!

We are talking huge plants that just produce ONE part.

The car manufacturing company SOURCES the parts from various specialist manufacturers and then combine all to 'ASSEMBLE' the vehicle.

In-house they might build the body of the vehicle and the seats, dashboard etc, like INNOSON does.

Or they could outsource that too.

The actual production of the vehicle is done on the Assembly Line.

So there is nothing like ''did you manufacture or did you assemble?'

It's an illiterate distinction.

Car manufacturing is Car assembly

Sometimes I wonder how people do not know this. One of the most valuable companies in the world, Apple Inc., does not even manufacture its own phone display, camera, or battery, these are all outsourced and manufactured by third-party companies to Apple's specifications and design. (Yes, Apple's competitor, Samsung among other companies, produces phone displays for Apple.)

But one of the key parts of their product and any product in this modern era is the software component which is proprietary and owned wholly by Apple. This software ensures all those outsourced parts can communicate and understand each other. People need to understand that times are changing.

Did she just say we have the market? Lmaooo please we don't

Nigeria bought less than 20,000 cars last year South African bought 500,000 during the same period

20,000 is not good enough to sustain an industry

Worse still is the fact that over 80% of that less than 20,000 cars are used ( accidented cars no body wants)

All this Jamboree makes no sense.. The focus now should be to grow the GDP per capita of Nigeria to say $10k to $15k once we achieve that the rest is easy

I might not have the correct data, but I still think your numbers are way off the mark. Let's say 20,000 cars were sold in 2022; that means approx. 55 cars per day, then 1-2 cars per state, including the FCT. There is no way only 1-2 cars are sold daily, even in Nigeria's least developed state. Perhaps you meant 200,000?

1stGenAmerican:


Don’t use your debit card, as a matter of fact, wouldn’t even suggest that you travel with it. Most banks and credit unions have a tendency to suspend your debit card after seeing one or two swipes in Nigeria because they automatically suspect that it’s fraud. Bring and use a credit card with zero fraud liability’s

Also, he shouldn't forget to bring a credit card that charges $0 for international transactions.

In response to the removal of PMS subsidy.

I have installed an LPG/CNG carburettor that also works with PMS (petrol)

Kindly note

Fuel tank emptied via the supply hose .

Scale set to measure lpg as it is consumed in KG

1L of fuel measured out into a gallon and will be poured into gen.

Same amount of load will be applied in both instances .

Timer set to zero.

I will start with LPG.... Will run for 1KG and I will turn it off once it hits 1kg on the scale the
mark the time.

Next will be petrol PMS, it will also run for 1L then I will mark the amount of time it took before gen went off.

1kg of gas = ₦650 (June 12 2023)

1L of petrol = ₦500 (June 12 2023)

Let's start.

Any questions feel free to ask.


Modified summary


Total time of LPG - 197mins at #650/kg

= #3.3/min

Total time or petrol - 106 mins at #500/l

= #4.7/m

Another way of looking at it .

With Gas

By calculation

1kg of gas at 650naira per kg lasted 3.17hours (3hours 17mins)

How many kg of gas per hour
650/3.17= 205.

Cost per hour = ₦205

I.e ₦205 of gas lasted one hour

*With Petrol*

One liter at #500 lasted 1.46mins (one hour 46mins)

Cost per hour= 500/1.46 = ₦342


Conclusion LPG cheaper

Personally gas is so safer than pms any day, but I'll have to put out this warning.

WARNING!!!!

LPG IS FLAMMABLE.

THE GAS LINE AND GAS CYLINDER SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM NAKED FLAMES AND HOT SURFACES.

WHEN TROUBLESHOOTING A PROBLEM WITH YOUR GEN USE PMS ESPECIALLY FOR VALVE AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES.

FINALLY THE END PRODUCT IS STILL CARBON MONOXIDE AND GEN SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN A CONFINEMENT, CARBON MONOXIDE WILL KILL IF THIS HAPPENS.


Happy independence day people .

Dear OP,

This is not in anyway to undermine your research, infact, it is very commendable putting this out there, I thank you for that.

I don't know if others have pointed it out already, the few pages I read, I didn't see anyone point it out. When calculating decimals for time, we don't count it like we do usual numbers because there are 60mins in an hour and not 100mins. 1hr 10mins is not 1.1hrs, if it is then 1hr 60mins will be 1.6hrs instead of 2hrs.

From your calculations, 1hr 46mins will be 1 + 46/60 = 1.77hrs and this brings the cost consumption for petrol to 500/1.76 = #284/hr

And LPG will be 3 + 17/60 = 3.28hrs. Making this 650/3.28 = #198/hr

Thank you. Again, good work!

Dear OP,

Keep doing what you are doing: complete your program, for your ICAN, get hands-on experience, improve your skills in line with your profession, but hear this....

As you are doing all of the above, jejely be packaging your transcript, start parley with your lectrurers for recommendation letters, start scouting schools in the US and probably start prepping your mind for GMAT/GRE.

I'm using the US as a case study because it is where I know you can comfortably get scholarships and funding to study. Over here, nobody discriminates you based on your age, everyone is welcomed: young and old. And , you don't need to complete or even start your NYSC to travel.

All the best!

They haven't found a way around it as at the last time I checked.

Let me add my 2 cents.

Here in the US, the only green apple I have seen this far is the Granny Smith apple which tastes very tart (like eating an unripe cherry), the host of others are different types of red apples that are sweet, crunchy, sweet and crunchy, not so sweet and all mixed.

But the green apples imported into Nigeria are sweet, nothing like what we have here. In all, it depends on the species, but i don't think there are any tart red apples though.

That is the reason. If you select you have been denied a visa within the last 6 months, you won't see any available date.

Is #690 now the new normal? Makes you wonder what happened to the $1 = ₦1 they promised us 7+yrs ago.

For your peace of mind, pay the full GRE official price to avoid "Had I known."

It is saddening to read the posts by prospective students that their ETS s have some charge backs and results withheld.

The thing is, people no dey hear word. This was the same thing that happened with GRE (three of my close friend's results were withheld and s charged). If you patronize anyone offering you subsidized rates for these tests, you will be putting yourself and your profile at risk. DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM SUBSIDIZED standard tests fees this period. A word they say is enough.

psalmz:
check my thread and see how he has flooded it with his ads ,so before u spill words about who is behaving like a kid or not ,check my profile ,I don’t welcome such,he has being flooding my threads with his ads

Lmao....make una go settle una matter

Oga Psalmz, I think the respectable thing to do here is to go create the own thread to peddle your items. Even if you are a kid, don't act like one. This is a public forum. Thank you.

Funny enough, people dress worse than this to their branches here in the US....lols
