The
West African Examinations Council (WAEC) Bus Stop in Yaba on the
mainland of Lagos is one of the most popular locations in Lagos state,
because the headquarters of WAEC is located near the bus stop with the
tallest building towering above other buildings in the area. It is also
the main bus stop of the famous Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH),
the first tertiary institution in Nigeria founded in 1947. It is
directly opposite the WAEC building and close to the nearby Federal
Science and Technical College (FSTC). Therefore, thousands of students
of the two schools use the bus stop with hundreds of other commuters
taking different public and private transport vehicles such as the
popular "Danfo" minibuses, "Keke" tricyles, "Okada" motorcycles and taxi
cabs.
Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are the top three social networks for advertisers.
More than 200,000 businesses advertise on Instagram every month.

In the dog eat dog corporate world, being ruthless is necessary for success according to the Machiavellian rules of the Mafia.
All I know about the author is that V is a Capo of distinguished fame, keeps several residences around the world. His present location is a guarded secret.
Review
“Whoever V. is, he offers the sort of advice it is dangerous to refuse.” ―Playboy
“A grimly brutally humorous book at the business world. Consider it a merger, or hostile takeover, so to speak, of How to Get Ahead in Business Without Really Trying by The Godfather.” ―The Washington Post
The world's oldest and best-organized conglomerate now reveals management techniques everyone can use. Unlike other guides to business, The Mafia Manager shuns theoretical verbiage to present the philosophy of leadership that founded and captained "The Silent Empire" through centuries of expansion and success. Some sample pearls of wisdom:
-"Be sure you understand what your boss has ordered before you act on his command. What if you whack the wrong guy, or bomb the wrong joint...Learn the art of asking questions." -"Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer." -"Don't become involved in any office political battle without first asking yourself, 'What's in it for me?' and then 'What's in it for them?'" -"If you must lie, be brief."
Ivy League schools are some of the most
prestigious schools in the world with high selectivity in admission. The
combine academic excellence with the development of the students’
particular and individual skills and talents. They also encourage a

Pennsylvania, Princeton University, Columbia University, Brown

Only filmmakers who have produced both documentaries and movies can understand what I am saying.
I
have been professionally engaged in TV and Film productions since I was
17 as a script writer and puppeteer for TV puppet drama at the Nigerian
Television Authority (NTA) Channel 10 on Victoria Island in Lagos
before I joined others on different locations of Nollywood movies more
as an observer than an actor in the 1990s. Then in 1998, I ended up as
the Production Manager of "Money Wise" on DBN TV, the first private TV
station in Nigeria founded by Sonny Adun in the 1980s.
