Yes naw she's supposed to be your one and only, why admire others when you have her, that's like telling her she might not be your number 1 for long!

Before Nko, who wan dash monkey Banana! We no longer have world class players so let's accept the reality!

I'm back again, asking the ladies more questions!

This time I want to know what really annoys you? I've found that I annoy girls alot but can't really place what makes me annoy them? May be because I speak my mind and say exactly what I think or feel or who knows!

I need you to say stuff like what guys say or do that annoys you!

I've also heard of a graduate farmer who makes over N150k per month in farming!

Well at least he admitted his indiscretion and quit! It is always wise to guard your speech!

Decrees are meant for military juntas not democratically elected presidents!

If the soldiers really said that, then they're big fools!

Only time will tell how timely or not it is!

Not UNILAG, MAULAG

But kudos to them for putting it out else it could have been worse had they waited for fire service to arrive!

Who cares, as long as he doesn't overstep his boundaries like asking me to go and do his laundry or one silly errand that has nothing to do with my job! He dare not raise his hands against me, or else, Gidigbo or sparring match will follow!

graciella: Na lie abeg. How many times do they come online daily? Abi you take style dey show us your twitter followers?

Silly talk, so how many times they come online daily is what determines how influential they are on twitter? In that case one can spend his/her whole life doing nothing but tweets so as to become influential!

Free advice: Think before you criticize!

I'm the hard nosed don't care what anyone thinks kind of friend! I say what's on my mind and don't really take time to analyse how it will rub off on others! I can't say if that's a weakness or a strength!

These NANS, they're gradually turning into trouble makers! You where the same people who pushed UNIPORT students to attack and burn houses in Aluu that led to the closure of UNIPORT, now you want to try same with UNIABUJA. What do you guys propose this time? More carnage or peaceful protest?

ajailer: Now where do u put @iamdbanj??

It's not about the numbers bro, it's about influence! How many people can you affect with your tweets!

There is some sense in this article although my own contribution to it is that many Nigerian pastors will actually prefer hell to prison judging by the way they live their lives. They are more afraid of Men than God!

RIP to the hapless victims!

....

Average daily retweets for every tweet not gross pls take note!

In the real world, an influential person’s opinion is always sought after and re-echoed by many. These powerfully influential people can usually inform and help shape peoples opinions about a certain topic or issue.

On Twitter, these social influencers take on a more magnified dimension. With just 140 characters - the word limit of a tweet- they can send out a message to potentially thousands of people around the world cuasing an interaction that can be postive, negative, enlightening, inspiring or simply informative. Below we've identified the top 10 most influential Nigerians so far for the year 2012 on Twitter. You may not agree with this list because some people may have more followers and yet didn’t make it, but from our criteria these are Nigeria’s top 10 most influential folks on twitter in this order.

Project management training can give you that much need edge if you’re a job seeker intending on making yourself more competitive in the workplace or job market. Employers complain that they lack sufficient skilled manpower to pick from, especially those with technical skills. Project Management is a much needed technical skill which strongly positions you in almost any environment to work effectively. Job hunting can be very tough especially in the Nigerian environment. As a job seeker, you’ll be doing yourself a great deal of good if you can make yourself competitive while your seeking employment. Most job seekers only have their university degrees to brag about in the labour market. You the potential project management certified professional could have something valuable in addition to your degree, a globally accepted certification in a strategically important field that shines on your resume.

Here in Abuja, if you’re searching for a job but have only your degree to your name, then pause and ask yourself if you are truly interested in getting a leg up in the competitive job market. If you want a strong advantage do something that puts you way ahead of others such as registering for a project management class where experienced tutors try to impart knowledge and skills that will add a valuable certification on your CV.

So far the ladies have made their cases known! Nice guys are seen to be weak or boring interesting, would you rather choose a strong and exciting person who's not loyal and caring over a 'weak' and 'boring' person who's loyal and caring?

I just had to ask this question when I realise a lot of girls aren't interested in dating nice, easy going guys! Reminds me of MJB's I love my Mr. Wrong

Seems nice guys are dry, boring and may even seem weak to many women yet they often times prove to be loyal and caring!

[What do women really want?]

Back to topic, Ladies will you date a nice guy?

Wuse is perhaps the most popular part of Abuja judging by the sheer size of human and vehicular traffic to and from this area. It is the most densely populated part of the city center linking easily to Maitama, Asokoro, Garki and Guzape.

Land Marks

It is here at Wuse that you’ll find some of Abuja’s most popular landmarks like Wuse Market, Sheraton hotel and towers, the GSM village and the popular Civil service commission which is where a lot of job seekers who have had cause to seek employment with the Federal Government have had a visit or two to their credit.

Zones

Wuse is known for its numerous zones. You have probably heard about Wuse zone this or zone that. There are 7 zones in all numbering from 1 to 7 and the extension which is called Wuse 2. Wuse extension or Wuse 2 as most people know it is known as the trendy zone, due to the fact that it is more attractive and developed than the main Wuse district. Popular places in Wuse 2 include Banex plaza, The French Cultural Centre, Aminu Kano Crescent, Ademola Adetokunbo Crescent, Amigo, Bloomsbury Plaza and Exclusive Stores among other equally interesting social hangouts including restaurants, night clubs, hotels, serviced apartments and numerous plazas.

Wuse Hotels

Wuse is also popular for having many Abuja hotels especially in zones 4, 5 and 6 and if we include those found in Wuse 2, it seems Wuse comes first among other districts in Abuja in terms of hotels density.

Gardens and Parks

Wuse has numerous gardens and parks where you can hang out for a refreshing drink or some local Nigerian dishes especially the popular fish pepper soup. You can also join in the local football culture of watching premiership matches at some of these gardens especially the one opposite the popular Sky Memorial Plaza in Zone 6.

Living

If your aim is to live in Wuse then your income should be able to keep up with the expensive rates for accommodation in this part of town. Street lights are usually functional in Wuse as electricity supply tends to be better than most areas. Wuse is also known to be a little bit more secure than most parts of Abuja even at nights. If you are going shopping in this area then Wuse Market is a rational option. Alternatively you could opt for cheaper shopping options, such as Garki International Market which is 10 minutes drive away or if you are on a tight budget then try the Karimu Tuesday Market which is in the distant outskirts of town.

These signs could mean something else too! Some guys have got it wrong in the past thinking a girl likes them only to discover she's just being nice! Watch it peeps but no harm trying!

Nice trip but these roads are still better than some terrible ones I have travelled on in Kogi State! How About Benue? some other states have worse roads than these ones!

slimyem: Why wasn't the show organised for Lagos...?
Abuja peeps are slackers when it comes to things like this...
The place for tear if na Lagos sha...
Still love Keri babe though!!

Come on shut up! Tu face and Julius Agwu shows were completely sold out shows earlier this year! What do you know about Abuja peeps?

The French Cultural Center, a French Government backed institution is the best place in all of Abuja to enroll for any French Language based program. As the year draws to a close, they're putting together some highly beneficial programs. Here's a run down of programs line up;

A session of DELF-DALF2 from 4th to 7th of December 2012

DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) and DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française) are official qualifications awarded by the French Ministry of Education to certify the competency of candidates from outside France in the French language. DELF and DALF are composed of 6 independent diplomas that correspond to the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2)

These certificates are valid for all your life and are internationally recognised.

The fees of DELF (level A1 to B2) are 7000 NGN (6500 if you are a student of the Institute). The fees for DALF (level C1 and C2) are 8500 NGN (8000 NGN for students of the Institute).

If you are not French and would like your French skills to be recognised for personal or professional purposes. You can take DELF and/or DALF. The DELF and DALF diplomas areindependent, so you can take the examination of your choice.
