kenosky,

as per Etteh ,the 9 man panel constituted to look into the contract submitted its report this morning.

Etteh was found guilty(thats d word AIT used instead of liable,only a court can declare a person guilty).

the panel held that due process was not followed in awarding the contract.

she was not alone.

also found liable was the Management of the National Assembly.

the real drama will start tomorrow.impeachment is beckoning.its such a beautiful feeling.

opoks,

i would be decieving myself if i say i do not know fighting corruption is a difficult war anywhere in the world.

but even if bros ribadu cannot get the biggest fishes like obj ,why then is he not going after other lesser fishes who pledge their loyalty to obj.

is akala dt powerful.how about the great odili.if u wish to be true,take a look at those dt have been prosecuted so far,how many of obj's loyalists are among.

opoks,it would have been a different ball game entirely if d guy were still president.

as per d issue of d attorney general,the guy has done nothing wrong in asking the commission to follow the rule of law.

his powers are guaranteed under section 174 of the constitution.that of ribadu is guaranteed under the EFCC Act.

the constitution is the grundnorm in any land.its d supreme law.and where there is an inconsistency btwn any other law or statute in nigeria and the constitution,that law shall be void to the extent of its incosistency.

so d A.G is on course .

the main problem here is dt ribadu started under a dictator who gave him powers not even under the Act.

and dt same problem is what those 'efulefus' in the nigeria police force have .they can conduct no credible investigation without beating the daylight out of the suspect.

in normal countries,intelligent methods are used in gathering information and when this is done,arrest is effected.so its then not too difficult to get a conviction.

i support the fact that dt criminal governor nnamani and his cohorts were arraigned but those governors who are now ex should be investigated and brought to book.obj is a big fry,we know.how about the others.

at least for now d efcc is still a feared organisation.they should utilise it well.public support for them is waning.

opoks,as we are discussing this,pls dont give these bankers a chance to escape giving us an answer.

i don go.Bros has come.later

opoks,

Ribadu is insulting our sensibilities.

if hin know say hin no get power,make hin no dey act like james Bond.why was he bragging before the elections dt he had enuf evidence to nail all the corrupt governors.

that Akala of Oyo State wey get face like stadium is d most corrupt soul alive.

when ribadu for arrest am,e dey look obasanjo very "handsome" face.until the court annuls his election(which i know they must),ribadu has to wait.

tho with obj still in the saddle,he will likely go free.

one day we go face maurice iwu.

kenosky,

ur answer came at the right time.i don been wan attack u .

i get issues with bankers o because somehow i happen to deal with them on a daily basis.

i cant stand the way your guys and girls maltreat or is it mistreat pple they think do not have enough cash.

i went to that over blown bank called oceanic yesterday with my boss.we went to withdraw like 1.8 million cos he wanted to go pay for tickets at British Airways for himself and his family travelling very soon, kenosky,see respect.

assuming say keyboard or piano dey for there,this pple for give us special number not considering that we were withdrawing o.i know how much my boss has there sha.

but i still saw a customer "raking" for one of the attendants.

sometimes in march ,my boss just bought over a hotel in kano.the last management had nearly stolen the place dead.so the owner virtually sold the place out.so i was, in company of two other pple, to go restructure the place,sack staff,recruit new ones,among others and come back 2 abuja within two months.

while there,there was this day i went to send momsy some cash.i no know whether me and d girl fight for her dream dt nite or she never see half caste(who dash me?)before,this girl just frowned her wowo face and refused to attend to me.

i no too tall o but at least i no short.she just acted like i did not exist.and i fine pass her papa o.

after standing for like 15mins and men queue plenty,i asked her to attend to me she just mumbled some words and left.she came back within 50 seconds though but by then i had lost it.

i stopped transactions in that bank for like 10minutes.my voice was reverberating in the banking hall.that was when the maga now started speaking softly and saying something like "sir,i only told u to exercise some patience,dt i would be with u in a moment"(bankers too can lie 15, minutes na a moment)

i tore the teller and threw everything at her table.it took the manager to calm me down.

i still left without paying in the cash there.

but that girl did a disservice to dt bank because even if i become d richest man in this world,i will never put my money in dt bank.i dont even watch bank adverts.i see dem all as lies.their staff are never as polite as they show us on tv.

how i wish nigeria was safe,i will be keeping my money in my house and maybe ask my mom to hide some in her bra for me(i like old school momsy dem sha).

i am sure u will say dt alone is not enough to judge but apart from me,i have seen d worst side of bankers unleashed on poor customers dt dont know their rights.

i have a bosom friend currently in Bank PHB training school at V.I Lagos.i asked him what they were learning and he said basically accounting procedure and other academic stuff.

he did not even mention any intense course in customer relationship.

the customer is no longer king of business,he is indeed the LIFE of any business.abi opoks,have i not spoken well?

good morning peeps.

i hope we all had a great nite.

lets thank God for what he will do for us i.e according to His will.

one of my friend's favourite saying is "God is not a wicked God".i agree totally.

whatever happens to us,He already foresaw.just as the heavens are far from the earth so his ways and thoughts are far from ours.lets cover all loopholes through prayers.

after the assessment center,i had like a 9 day prayer though i did not fast while praying.i just concluded dt everything was done.i concluded dt i had been taken.i am sure it was d same with most of u on this thread.

hence d tone our posts took before "troublesome" opoks reiterated the fact that our will may not be Gods will.after opoks post and dt of tolagbaju ,giving us d koko and making us understand dt it still wasnt late to intensify prayers,i went for hotter prayers this time.

i have never had such peace in my life like i did after these last set of prayers.i am not in the least of ways bothered now because i have d assurance of God that all must be well with me.

if Nlng does not take (or is dt not a possibility?), like opoks i would be disappointed,though for a very shortwhile and i would be happy again.why?because i am now so sure dt where God will be taking me will make the ears of man tingle when its heard.

i am now so at peace with myself.i am so sure that its all in his hands.if the result had come before tolagbajus post,i would have felt i did not do enough.i have done my best the rest is in the hands of God.

i hope nobody would see pessimism in this post.indeed i feel we should see a greater optimism because the fact is dt we have a secure future with God.

as a friend will say"whather we go live long don sure,whether we go dey successful don sure,whether we go benefit our society don sure.the only thing be say,na only God know how e go happen"

abi na lie.lets keep faith and hope alive knowing dt God has us in His palms

flintstone,

congratulations.

God's time is d best.see how it worked for u.may all ur dreams come true.when u get tired of this,He will take u to a new height.just keep the faith.i am happy for u

men,

fellow hopefuls

i don try.

i dey go house.

good to be hear once again.

bonny indigenes or not,what will be will be.

all good things are yours.

who wan curse d man wey Jesus don bless

kenosky,

u served in Nassarawa.thats really the closest state to abuja.

u cant imagine how many workers come into abuja on a daily basis from dt zone.

and u should see how these shylock drivers and conductors increase bus fares especially at evening time.

even the landlords,i hear,are not making things easy for the residents.

their ex-governor Adamu stole so much and is presently secretary to the PDP Board of Trustees.so,owing to that he has joined the elite group of untouchables.

dts why i am so upset with that guy called Ribadu.

i am fully in support of his going after corrupt governors but men,the fight is too selective.how can odili,adamu,chimaroke,adamu aliero,ibori and d other guys be walking about free.

then the greatest of them all,OBY(OBASANJO).ITS A SHAME.

i am still watching to see how this whole crap will unfold.

how come u con take follow computer baptise me mappy.computer can crase sometime.

i can see dt u work with Zenith bank.

no vex o.i have a question to ask.

its for u and other bankers on the thread.

are u guys taught the art of relating with customers during your training.i mean the way air hostesses are trained.

i think of all organisations in nigeria,the banking sector has d greatest number of bitches and rude people(am i allowed d freedom of dt word.i am sorry though i lack better words to use)

d few i have spoken to say customers are often difficult and "we are humans so we get tired".but in all the years my father worked in the now defunct Nigeria Airways,i never saw an air hostess get upset with a passenger.

i expect the usual defense of "it all depends on how u are trained from home".

but being a personal assistant,i have been to quite a number of banks(i go to diff. banks on a daily basis for my boss though,who dash me cash?),without any element of bias, i must say that the banks that have the most polite staff are intercontinental and GTB .

i hope say them no go kill me o for wetin i yarn but i would appreciate a candid answer.abi no be person wey no ask dey miss road?

samuelokun,

this is ur first time of posting?

welcome bro.better late than never.

i am with u totally in the spirit.

the only difference is dt i am not in the least of ways nearer having hypertension.not even my troublesome little niece can cause me dt.

do u have a job?then this is the time to delve deeper into it and force urself to enjoy it.

if u dont have,then look for something dt gives u great joy.it would go a long way in helping.

then ,best of all, try to come checkout this thread often and contribute.its d perfect elixir.its therapeutic effect is uuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhlllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaacious

Jill,

with all frankness ,i must say ur posts delight my heart.

like i normally say,they are a soothing balm to my soul.

how i wish they could be more frequent,if only for me.

do u know ur info is novel.no one, not even the great tolagbaju, our able MINISTER OF INFORMATION had told us this one.

tola what happened now.we will charge u for dereliction of duty o.

but i would like to ask?are the guys from Bonny included in the list of 70 pple needed by Nlng?do u have an idea of how many souls dt will be taken from that zone.

just curious though.its not like theres anything we can do about it.

like opoks,i am not in the least of ways apprehensive.i am having the time of my life at the office now.so whenever they are ready,i am too.

d stuff is too lengthy and indefinite.

even pregnancy get date

opoks,

as per the cash NLNG pays,i think its been discussed here on so many occasions but i feel its better it remains in the realm of conjectures.

wetin i dey use how much dem they pay do when we never still enter.

whether we know or not, we will not reject their offer when it comes.

i am sure it will even be stated on the offer letter.so when time reach,we go know.

furthermore what greater beauty can u desire than working in a desirable atmosphere and earning good cash(because i am sure d cash will not be disappointing).

all in all, na small small dem dey use kill fly wey dey on top, eye.

opoks,

u be ashawo o.

e be like say u don meet chics so tey u no know when and how u meet them.

u must have chatted a lot with guys and babes on ur assessment center day.

thank God abussyaya knows u.

pls any other girl in the house dt has dt phone number quoted by abussyaya pls reveal.

opoks,

u were asking if i was sure u work with Globacom.

as i craze reach for school ehn,i no chop my school fees.

i had suspected for a while but decided to put two and two together.

first u said u work with a telecoms company.on another occasion , u mentioned the fact that ur company was among the top three telecoms industry in Nigeria.

to every nigerian, the top three are mtn,Celtel(or Econet or V-mobile or Vodafone or soon to become Adriantel) and Globacom,though in no particular hierarchical order.

of these three companies,it was only Globacom that increased its staff salary with over a 100% recently(that is less dn 4-5 months ago)

remember two days after our mini world war,u mentioned dt u did not deserve to be in NLNG .apart from other reasons given by u ,u stated dt u were just promoted with an increase of over 133% which i assumed meant "an increase higher than those of my contemporaries".it then wasnt too difficult to get.

i just felt it was right to mention it now.i have never been surer of anything in my life.

but let me still assure u,there is nothing wrong in wanting to go higher in life.

while i was serving in kebbi,a guy who was coming to "chyk" one of my female friends was a staff of the United Nations.after about 5 months of me knowing the guy,he had left to work for the European Union(EU).

i asked him why he did it.he said he just felt he needed knew challenges.

if pple dey comot for UN ,who are we lesser mortals to wish to ramain in a place longer dn we find the environment challenging.

so men, wanting to leave isnt a sign of ingratitude ,indeed,its a sign of acceptance of the reality of God taking us to newr heights.

God Himself is creative.

kuwena,
was it despondence or depression i saw in ur post earlier on.its good u came out of it within the twinkle of an eye.

do u know the number of souls u would have affected or rather infected witha sour mood by ur seeming doubt.

if u o Kuwena should get into this mood ,what will the many who joined cos of u do.

i must assure u dt we all go thru d same feelin sometimes cos we are all human, though some beings these days say they are spirit.
but God is ever near .

nearer than we ever know.never forget,God may not come when we call but he is always on time.good to see u back to a better mood.we will all be fine.

to all hopefuls,lets make this a lovelier forum by gisting on every topic under the sun.it will make d wait less burdensome.tk kia guys.its all going to be fine.ciao

opoks,
kuwena on saturday rightly termed u the new godfather of the thread.

i must say i agree .

u have done well since u joined the thread.

what kuwena has written on this thread can last a lifetime.(e easy to be best for a whole university?).i think his rest is truly deserved.

u have taken up the mantle.

as human beings ,we all have our pride and there are some things we may not readily accept as true.but let me say this with all sincerity.u brought back some reality into the thread.

i am sure some other guys felt the way u did then,but in ur own style u took it up.i think u were d first guy who started responding to other issues apart from this nlng gist whenever its brought up.

i remember posting an issue concerning y guys tend to turn to chatterboxes whenever girls are around.u gave an answer.i think dt has somewhat led to other guys who were beginning to get bored with the everyday nlng gist to start enlisting.

for that thanks.i have gone through all the other threads on this site,i can say with all unequivocality dt this is d godfather of them all.

lets not relent.there is still a lot to learn and a lot to do.

lest i forget,where d girls dem wey we praise d other day now.hope say dem no be one hit wonder o.let them drop a few words now.where is jill

pgm,

football is indeed the beautiful game.if not for anything for the unity it brings to this heavily tribalised society.

its like a soothing balm to our souls.

its a pity dt our administrators have been made up their minds not to develop our football to what they have in england.

dt NFA is so useless.i have never seen a group of persons that have so glorified greed and stupidity in football or indeed sports circles like NFA.

but their name says it all though-no future ambition.the present fight with d NFL  is because of the sponsorship largesse given to to the NFL by OPOKONWA'S company,Globacom.

i think it amounts to 793 million naira.where were they when the poor man,oyuiki obaseki was negotiating for the cash.

any way sha i look forward to the day when we will be "fighting" over enyimba,rangers,berger,dolphins and other clubs like dt.never say never

pgm,

what else can i say.u have said it all.thank u so much.

i couldnt help asking God yesterday ,while in church,with all of my heart,not to permit me to be deprived the pleasure of meeting these great guys i have "spoken" to on this thread so many times.

i know He will do as He has promised.

when i saw the picture u posted of IBB'S house i was ,at first,flabbergasted.but later ,i became irritated.in actual fact,i am not impressed.

the Bible was definitely not wrong when it said,a good name is better than silver and gold.its such a joy to me dt his name brings a certain odium to pples hearts.

would i not rather have all i decently need and be praised in death?

pgm,i dont know if u read the sun newspapers of yesterday Sunday,the 23rd of september.if u did not ,let me tell u one of the stories in there.

on the 4th of october,dt is in less dn 2wks time.NLNG will hold its 4th nigeria prize for literature.its a literature prize to honour and reward writers for their literary genius.this year we have 3 finalists.

but to cut an annoying story short,IBB was called by our own beloved company to come give the keynote address for this year's event.

the greatest literary minds in nigeria and the diaspora have vowed to boycott the event if nlng does not change its mind about the decision.

to them,a man who did all he could to stifle d press while he was military president(who dash am )is not deserving of such honour.

the Association of Nigerian authors(ANA) which is the umbrella body of all creative writers in nigeria has also joined the agitation.i pray nlng listens.if they dont,they would have incurred great opprobrium to the already controversial awards.

i remember with great love the values of nlng as listed in its website.they are honesty,integrity,trust,mutual respect and a drive for excellence.if nlng really wants to prove or show its love for excellence,it should spare those of us who love it so much the pain of seeing its programme tagged a flop.

these days,a word is enough for fools ,let alone the wise

tolagbaju,

from the first day u posted d info u heard from a manager at nlng,i knew u would be a beauty to this thread.

ur info always seems real and i must say is the most believable ever posted on this thread.thanks men.

we are ready for them whenever they are ready.for now,i am enjoying this thread so much dt i am beginning to act like a child whenever i have to browse.

at least we are talking about other things now.

plz ur info is always invaluable.keep them coming.i use them as a yardstick to know the koko of nlng final recruitment process

uche,

welcome back.

its been quite sometime.

its good to know u have been involved in sourcing for some info for ur brothers.

i must say dt when this thread started i am sure kuwena thought it would be only to pass info and any other gist concerning nlng and d recruitment process amongst hopefuls.

but this thread has gone beyond dt.

this thread gives us an opportunity to share our faith and hope in the Supreme Being,inform one another of other socio-politico-economic happenings in the country,and generally air our views on any matter under the sun.

it is ,to me, most of all, to encourage one another.

the beauty of our being human beings lies partly in our individuality.dts why its possible for 10 different pple to read a passage or chapter of a book and interprete it in 10 ways.

what then is my point?

u have something to offer this thread.u are a brilliant guy.a word from u could give a solid nites rest to somebody.it doesnt necessarily have to be with or on nlng.

so bro.if u take ur love away from us we'll go crazy.we'll go insane(remember Blackstreet?) .

on a lighter note though,u are needed on this thread.i think as kuwena rightly observed,its pure selfishness to go through the thread reading other pples opinions and failing to contribute yours.think about it bro.

always drop a word.it shows us we are together.it also encourages camaraderie

kenosky,

abeg no vex for me o.

thanks for ur compliments.

i have access to internet every  weekday.

but i live in Area 8 in abuja and there is no cybercafe around there except at one place dt to me is quite a distance.so i couldnt browse this weekend.so sorry.

i really intended goin out of my way to  browse yesterday but let me give u a gist.

i went with my friends mum to one ghetto in abuja called Mararaba.indeed its in nassarawa state but it shares a boundary with abuja.men that place is the ajegunle of abuja.

we went for a child dedication.

by the time we finished navigating the roads,i was so fagged out dt i had to catch a nap after coming back.

i hate blaming the government too much for everything but i think they have done a disservice to those guys living there.

to imagine dt d area has d largest population of workers in abuja.its a pity how heartless those guys are.

when i saw dt place ,i understood why i have to make some cash in this life.bro no be small thing o.

but i am here now and will be for the rest of the week.

as per Arsenal,i am happy for u guys.if u want to be fair,u will remember dt in a previous post i did not fail to recognise d fact dt those guys play great football and they are really a delight to watch.

i cant deny dt fact.i am not a mad fan.indeed i call myself an empirical or realistic fan.

but as kelecchi has rightly observed,every club has its rough moments.this is just a passing phase for chelsea and its fans.

furthermore,u are now such a consistent poster.and apart from being a poet ,u are also a rhymes master.u too much joo.

i know we are about 464 souls left in this race(at least we dont know who d 220 guys are).

its not impossible dt with prayers all of us on this thread will meet there.as opoks abserved NLNG go know say pple don come.

i pray our dreams come true.

y are they not taking the guys.some of these companies can be such perverts

congratulations.may all ur dreams come true.it shall be well with u

its time to depart for the day.

its been a hard week.

behold the hour is coming for the great rejoicing.

i wish us all well.

who wan curse the man wey Jesus don bless?

nobody.

be good guys.

one luv

pax Domine

@opoks,

it seems ur clarion call to the ladies is being answered with 'alacrity'.

within two days of calling,two ladies have joined up.

i know ladies love challenges being thrown at them.thats a good one.

@abussyaya,
my sister .welcome to the family.as they say'better late than never'.we hope to read more from u ,jill and uchycelly.

@ KUWENA,

have u listened to that woman speak.

she is so ineloquent.

and to crown it all she is not even a graduate.

she has an NCE and, a friend says,a Diploma in Law from University of Abuja.

there are better pple than her in that place sha.

bt the truth remains that as long as she hasnt resigned or been impeached,she remains the speaker.

and furthermore,we have still not listened to her testimony before the panel,so the doctrine of fair hearing has not been applied.

dnt forget dt it is trite law dt both parties must be listened to(audi alteram partem)

i will wait to hear her .

tho i think she is too dull to be a speaker.i dont know what she is speaking sef

kuwena,
i forgot to add.she denied that allegation as a ploy by her detractors to tarnish her image.

one of her loyalists even mentioned it in the house and had to give a coded warning to ur pple ,the press to verify info before publishing.

THE TIME IS 7.50P.M


today is friday.

we have only one full working week to end of the month.

september ends next week.

we have waited this long.

we have fought a solid fight.

it will soon be 12 days to october 3rd i.e a full year since the fastest applied.

i have one very strong feeling that it will be next week.

lets unite in spirit the way footballers do during a penalty shoot out knowing that anyteam might win.

only that this time we hope dt all nlng nairaland hopefuls and posters win.

its not impossible.

never forget,all must be well.  

u are all highly loved

@kuwena,dt was what she told the NTA crew dt interviewed her o

kuwena,

her security aides had to smuggle her away to a safe haven.

but when all was calm i dont think she later testified but she granted an interview.

she said she was transparent and had done all with pure intentions.

she said while it was her right to live in a 5 star hotel(pending the renovation) she opted to stay in her house.and dt she has forfeited so many things for the good of the country.

dt the accusations were from her political detractors.that word has been so abused by politicians.if a man cant impregnate his wife in nigeria,he blames it on his political detractors.

in philosophy the answer she gave is known as 'argumentum ad misericordiam' which is strictly an appeal to emotions or pity.

i think she has still not hit the nail on the head.capish

tho i dont think anything will come out of it afterall

while the members of the house of reps were discussing the shameful issue at the plenary session,one of the honourables from the north unleashed a new vocabulary.

i must use dt english word in a future article.

while addressing the house he said  "we think that we are trying to sanitise the house ,we do not know dt we are CHUKKING OURSELVES with knife" hmmm.may we not chuk ourselves with knife on this thread o.amen

pgm,

u said u were thinking of football or entertainment.dts a good one.

see those under 17(hmmmm under 17?)those guys now have national honours and houses in abuja .

see what talent does for one.

i love football too, like mad but after watching NTA , AIT and CHANNELS TV News yesterday,i started having a rethink.

i saw a boxing match that would have made samuel peters,tyson and the great mohammed ali green with envy.

i intend searching one of those "honourables" in the house of reps.  and making him my trainer.

abi how u see am.

fight started when it was time for Etteh to testify before the panel probing the 628 million naira contract scam.

while her supporters were hailing her,her detractors were shouting 'ole' a yoruba word for thief.

i dont know at what point the fight started o but the nxt thing i knew was dt  i saw one of the honourables'(dt word again)  on the table screaming and touching an opposition on the head.

d mugu made the mistake of his life because he was wearing an agbada.the guy below pulled him by his agbada and men those blows were something else.

before we could shout "blood of Jesus' the guy had landed his adversary four solid,undiluted and unadulterated blows before they were separated.

it was such a delight to watch.

as usual NTA told us dt it was not novel for paliamentarians to fight round the world.

what balderdash!

but i have to look for that guy.i could learn one or two things from him

isnt that guy wasting his talent
