Can those from the South-East please educate me about female genital mutilation in the region?

I read a news today of someone appealing to Australian court to grant him leave to stay in Australia on the ground that if he goes back to Nigeria, his 10yr old daughter will be forced to be mutilated.

How true is this? I have not heard something like it before.

he's only using that excuse to get his stay. it's a standard procedure. FGM & sex trafficking is the leading reason to seek asylum in western countries. if any female rights group gets on his case, he would be allowed to stay!

I believe so. The guy painted it as if it was a constitutional requirement.

Yeye guy

Why were we not awarded the penalty?

Something is definitely wrong with chelsea....

Sounding like a setup this Chelsea matter.
Referees players.
To come from top4 to relegation phase is too much of a drop

Edwife


While I agree it should still be a pen but there was no contact in the box
If Remy had gone down...pen






How market?

Many people agreed it was,even some analysts.That's why i like drogba or costa,they will sleep there if need be just to get that penalty.

I must say,market is very bad.

I have heard of desperate job hunting measures, this doesn't cut it, the adjective I'd use normally isn't polite so I'll leave it there.

Assuming I had a job to give out, from her post, can you tell me why i should consider her? I mean there are hundreds of job seekers to each single vacancy(not even counting my personal friends and people from my village sef), why should I consider her?

Remember that Nigerian guy in UK that got soo desperate for a job he went to stand at the tube entrance with a placard during rush hour? You recall how many offers he got from that singular action? Immediately, I saw the post above, I remembered our UK guy and quite honestly, if I had a teaching job to give, I'll sure consider her for the role. Why do you think a lot of employers took interest in that guy? I can think of several names for it:

- thinking outside the box to get results
- deviation from the norm to get results
- daring to be different to get results

I dare say it's a quality every employer cherishes because not everyone has the guts to pull stunts like this.

And to prove its working, Coogar is already taking interest and about to interview her Coogs, no be so?

One of the fastest ways to get a job is to distinguish yourself positively, that's what Alfred Ajani did and sadly that's not what the poster in this case did. There's a huge difference between doing something differently and constituting a nuisance.

Why I asked that question was to determine if the poster was aware that there is a better way to go about it, the way she's going about it isn't different from the many other job seekers on and off NL so I don't agree with your thinking outside the box theory.

I see too many people consistently appealing to something other than interest, passion, competence etc. to get a job and I shake my head. Later they will now come and be saying that there are no jobs in Nigeria. If your approach is wrong you can spend X years hitting your head against the wall.

A friend was at Alcatel in 2008 or so trying to submit his CV to the receptionist and she was doing shakara, he said one man there just got annoyed and called him and told him instead of you to be wasting your time like this just get the HR managers name, go to the nearest post office and use EMS to send your CV to her directly.

A friend that works for a fortune 100 company also used DHL to send her CV to the company HR manager when she was looking for a place to serve for NYSC and was accepted and retained after, babe got transferred to the UK after a couple of years.

A wrong approach can cost an opportunity.

P.S.
you said you would offer her a teaching job, how are you sure that's what she's interested in? there isn't even enough info in her post to show what field she would be interested in and thus have an increased likelihood of succeeding in said field.

P.P.S.
I checked her post history and there's nothing there that suggests that she would be worth the while if I had a job to offer, we're in a country with millions of unemployed and underemployed people, that's not good enough...I'm just being honest here.

P.P.S
After venting I'm still pissed off...smh.

In Alfred's case, do you think several workers would not have thought he was constituting a nuisance even as he carried a placard that morning? Standing on the way during rush hour time? In all honesty, what would you have thought yourself if you were rushing to work that day and you saw him?

Maybe I agree but what I know is, when it comes to thinking outside the box, it's a two edged sword. If you get it right, you become an instant success, a reference point for others but if that same action backfires, it makes you look darn steupid and make people wonder what weed you were smoking. But it's always a chance that is worth taking especially if you are passionate about it.

I won't say the same for people who advertise their products indiscriminately on every thread; that's definitely a distraction, an eyesore and very annoying. Not good marketing at all especially when you see it on every thread. But she has come to a family thread where she believes we have men and women lounging, sipping beer and discussing how to move their businesses and family forward. Not a very bad place to advertise/introduce yourself IMO. And yeah, for starters, it can't be a long introduction else, the post will become very unappealing to the eyes.

I agree with you on the hindsight thing, but not on the coming here to advertise(that's not an intro), it's probably cause I think she was desecrating the thread though.
