"Characteristic of the African Native are HIS LACK OF APPREHENSION AND HIS LACK OF ABILITY TO VISUALIZE THE FUTURE'. - Lord Fred Lugard, The dual mandate, pg 70 (1926). NIMC could not register Nigerians since 2004, and they believe that they could achieve that feat in two weeks. I believe that employments should be result and reward oriented.
