theButterfly: Rather than wooing a man, a woman should give him hints that she's interested and let him pick it up from there. A man who's likewise interested will make the subsequent moves thereafter. If he doesn't, move on. Clap for yourself! |
Career › Re: Words To Avoid Using During An Interview by Advancedman(m): 8:38am On Nov 11, 2019 |
postbox: The job market is very competitive and getting an interview is a chance to let an employer or HR manager know you’re the best person for the job. It’s all about communication skills at this point how well you express yourself, word choices and your ability to persuade an employer to give you the job. One of the best tactics is to be specific when you describe your work experience, skills, and accomplishments as well as avoiding certain words. Using these words that would be shared below can make or mar your chances of getting the job.
Amazing
Was your last job really amazing? Is your work experience amazing? How about your communication skills? What does amazing mean? Stupifying? Unreal beyond belief? If your last job was so “amazing,” why are you looking for another job? Is this one more “amazing?” Used once in the right context, the word isn’t bad. You can use it once and after the first one, it doesn’t really have much effect except being annoying.
Awesome
This word really doesn’t say much at all. It’s filler, overused and just sort of thrown out there. This said few of us can describe ourselves or our abilities as awesome. Your skills may be exceptional or superior, but awesome is a no-no.
Whatever
You may be tempted to use this word when answering “…tell me about a time when…” questions. Used alone as a comment on a situation or as a response to someone comes across as lazy and rude.
Totally
The total of what? If you mean you agree, say that. It is used as an affirmation. Interviewer: “That project seems like it was very rewarding. You: “Totally!” Or, intensity. You: “I was totally amazed at the awesome opportunity!” (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.) You can see what happens when you string them all together. A lot of nothing!
Great
This word is so overused and has lost its punch. It’s supposed to show a high level of something, but the word great is really lukewarm. With the wrong voice tone, it can be negative. On a scale of one to 10, great is around five or six. Be specific and find some other descriptive adjectives that show proper intensity and relation to the situation.
Can’t and don’t
Can’t and don’t are negative words and negativity has no place in an interview. Refrain from using phrases such as “I don’t like doing this, I can’t do this,” or “I don’t want to do this,”. You want to show an interviewer that you are open to taking on any role or task and that no job is too small for you.
Freaking or Fricking
We all know what you really want to say, and using these substitutes don’t lessen the effect of the word they represent. They are still rude, inappropriate, borderline vulgar and don’t have a place in an interview.
SOURCE:https://brandspurng.com/2019/11/11/you-should-totally-avoid-these-words-during-an-interview/ The amazing part got me. To the writer interviews are not based on this your esteemed mentality of employer and slave. In a simple expression let me ask you if your BSC is amazing should that stop you from pursuing your MSc?. |

Family › Re: Is It Right For A Wife To Keep Properties In Her Name? by Advancedman(m): 11:08pm On Nov 04, 2019 |
AXYZ: I saw a tweet (on twitter) from a certain Ronald Nzimora and later supported by his friend, Hon. Akin Alabi as regards the above subject (as attached).
Thus, I'm compelled to ask if it's actually right for a WIFE to own properties in HER name.
1. What if the wife is richer and kept everything in her name. Don't you feel the husband will feel 'detached' and maybe unhappy?
2. What if the husband is richer and kept all the properties in his name. Don't you feel the wife will feel 'detached' and maybe unhappy?
PS. My wife and I work, and are financially independent of each other. She's been supportive though and we buy properties in our names, e.g. Mr Kenneth Cole and Mrs Grace Cole. This is rational and not abnormal. Any woman you paid bride price for or the marriage is categories by families and not an act by two consenting adults the man own the wife so anything in her name is taboo |

Politics › Re: Presidential Election Appeal: Issues Beyond The Verdict Of The Supreme Court by Advancedman(m): 9:40pm On Oct 31, 2019 |
TonyeBarcanista: By TonyeBarcanista
Wednesday, October 30, 2019, the Supreme Court of Nigeria, in a unanimous decision, dismissed the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, challenging the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressive Congress in the February 23, 2019 presidential election.
The seven-member panel justices that gave the judgement was led by the Honorable Chief Justice of the federation, Justice Muhammed Tanko with honourable Justices, Rhodes-Vivour, Amiru Sanusi, Uwani Abaji, Ejembi Eko, John Inyang Okoro and Olukayode Ariwoola making up its members.
The apex court did not state reasons for the judgement, it however left the camp of the president and ruling party in celebratory mode, while members of the camp of the appellants left the court room sadder than when they came for hearing.
Notwithstanding of the feelings of the interested parties, there are some issues that need to be discussed, these issues bothers on discarding traditions of the court by the CJN Justice Muhammed Tanko.
Firstly, the noninclusion of honorable justice Mary Odili and honorable justice Sylvester Ngwuta as members of the panel of justices that heard the appeal raised concern as both justices are senior members of the Supreme court bench, and the CJN, by so doing, discarded the age long tradition of having the most senior seven justices to hear presidential petition appeals at the Supreme court.
Secondly, composition of members of panel that heard the appeal did not reflect national spread as it excluded justices from the southeast geopolitical zone in the seven justices that heard the appeal. The panel has two justices each from the northwest and southwest geopolitical zones, one each from northcentral, northeast and south south zones and zero from the southeast zone. This is also against the age-long tradition of the apex court. More worrisome is the fact that justice Sylvester Ngwuta, a senior jurist at the apex court from the southeast zone was excluded.
Thirdly, the speed at which the appeal was heard and discarded left observers worried. This is because the names of the seven-member jurists that heard the appeal were only unveiled few minutes before commencement of hearing and the verdict was given less than thirty minutes after conclusion of hearing- all these happened same day and it is unprecedented in the history of presidential appeals in Nigeria. This left Nigerians to wonder whether the whole process was mere academic exercise as the court seemed to have reached a verdict even before parties argued their briefs.
Though the public await the reasons for the decision of the apex court, the question on the lips is of everyone is whether justice was dispensed or miscarried. This can only be answered by the conscience of the seven justices that heard the appeal.
May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria

Family › Re: My Wife Insists No Sex Until Wedding Night Even After Our Traditional Wedding by Advancedman(m): 8:38am On Oct 31, 2019 |
igwegeorgiano: Friends on NL I greet you all. Trust your day is going well? It is with very heavy heart and confused state of mind I sent this post on this platform so you can advise me on what line of action I should take. Pastors and genuine men of God should also advise me on what to do as well.
There is this lady i have been dating for about a year and 6 months now. We love each other to the moon and most importantly we respect each other opinion and decisions. She is a born again christian who appreciates the things of God more than she appreciates me which of course I have no issues with.
When we agreed to start up a relationship after being friends for about 6 months, it was agreed that there will be no sex until the wedding night but at a point I asked her "what if we are done with traditional marriage rites are we still not gonna have sex? To my creates surprise she said we won't until church wedding is done. I did not actually took her serious.
Fast forward, on the 15th of July 2019 the traditional marriage was done in her father' compound in the east and all I was asked to pay and give was paid and given without any remainder . after the traditional marriage we went back to my house in abuja. Note that we were not staying together before now. I am base in abuja while she is in owerri. When we got home that night I told her we can now make love as husband and wife hence the traditional rites has been done and most importantly the bride price paid. To my amazement my wife bluntly refused. She told me she will never compromise her stand on pre marital sex
I have been very faithful to our agreement based on her claim that she is a virgin. But refusing me my right over her body after every thing including the bride price has been paid is something I can never subscribed to and to this end I have I have involved her parent and her pastor her decision however, still remain no sex till the wedding night. I am putting the wedding on hold for now until she willingly allow me make love to her and she seems not to be comfortable with my decision as well.
This is the dilemma I have found myself please I need your wise counsels on this. Thanks and remain bless. Moderators kindly push this post to the front page so it can have adequate views it deserves thanks Any woman that talks about white wedding is a fool. Marriage is what you called TM. The court self is even because of Government, Certificate,Travel document and other officials stuff but the natural marriage is family the modern marriage is simply two adults in the presence of law and witnesses but I doubt Naija ladies can stick to it they just want everything mixed up. Any form of wedding (marriage) you do first be it TM, Court or Church that marriage must be consummated within 24hrs else it's none and void. People should stop being stupid and foolish at the same time western culture isn't ours. For me it's one court, simply because it's has power over others also when there is issue the court is still the final arbiter. |

According to the cease and desist letter that fashion designer Philipp Plein recently received from Ferrari, Ferrari’s lawyers wants him to delete an Instagram post that showed his sneakers on the bonnets of his two parked Ferraris.
I mean the one that features a limited edition pair of Plein’s $800-plus PHANTOM KICK$ sneakers sitting atop of Plein’s $350,000-plus(₦127m+) green Ferrari 812 Superfast, with Ferrari’s word mark and legally-protected prancing horse logo front and center.

The letter concluded by threatening legal action and demanding that Plein take down the post within 48 hours.
https://i2.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/IMG_20190804_135641_256.jpg
In his Instagram post on Monday, Plein, who has opted not to remove the images despite the threat from Ferrari, stated, “I can’t even put in words how disappointed and disgusted I am about this unfair and totally inappropriate claim against me personally,” noting that he purchased his first Ferrari 10 years ago and remains a “good client” of Ferrari.
“If you want to continue treating your loyal clients with such letters from your lawyers, you will lose the support from many Ferrari fans.”
Plein concluded by saying: “My lawyers will go hard and I will make every step public until FERRARI stops bullying their clients,”

Family › Re: Appearances Are Deceptive: Meeting Old Classmate By Ademola Henry Adigun by Advancedman(m): 10:12am On Oct 30, 2019 |
[quote author= post=83580362]We had not seen each other for about 30 years. The Lord has been kind to me. When I saw him again - this time at a hotel lobby - he was looking simple. He wore simple Ankara attire. I felt touched. He walked up to me and was glad to see me again. But deep within me I was not impressed with his status compared to mine and poor me, I couldn't hide it. We exchanged contact details and I could see the joy in him as he collected mine.
I told him I will drop him home in my brand new Range Rover and I pointed it to him. He declined and said he had already called for his car. It looked old, a 2001 Honda Accord.
I invited him the next day for lunch at my house. A part of me wanted to impress him - To show off my success and affluence to him, while another was to discuss opportunities and possibly help him.
He drove to Parkview where I lived. He looked impressed with my home. I had taken a heavy mortgage. In fact I was heavily in debt. We had lunch. He told me he was into small business and particularly real estate. I brought up more business discussions, but he didn't sound too interested. I asked him how I could help him. He said he was fine. I even told him if he was interested, I could help him secure some loans... He looked at me and smiled.
He told me he would invite me over soon to his place. His old car came for him. I was grateful to God for what I had. “Fingers are not all equal”, I thought to myself...I was lucky. I worked in a good place.
Two weeks later, we went to see him in Ikeja. My wife and I. She was reluctant to go because she was not impressed with the man's status as to warrant our visiting him in his house. I was able to convince her that we were close friends in college. We saw the Estate. *Wuraola Estate.* We asked for directions to his home. Those leading us spoke his name with deference.
It was a simple but lovely home. A 4 bedroom bungalow. I saw 4 cars parked in front. We entered his home. It was simply elegant with a touch of class inside. He welcomed us warmly.
Lunch was well served. His wife called him Baba Wuraola
During lunch, he asked about my MD. He said they were friends. I saw a company gift on one of his tables nearby. That company owned about 38% shares where I worked. I enquired from him about it. He smiled. He told me he owned the company. He also owned the estate.
I did not know when I called him sir... I was in awe of him too.
I had learnt a lesson in humility - A big one. Appearances are deceptive. He noticed my discomfort.
Driving back home, I was very quiet. My wife was humbled and extremely calm. I could perceive the thoughts in her mind. I looked at myself. Living on loans, heavy loans and showing off while someone who pays my salary is quite modest and living a simple life! Indeed Deeper Rivers Flow In Majestic Silence![/quote]Live or fiction? |

Her current employer may try to frustrate her or overwhelm her with work now they've increased her pay. But if she feels like her current boss is reasonable and wouldn't try to sabotage her, then let her stay put.

martyns303: Stay with the company. This happens every time, when you newly join a company, you are inexperienced or not as much experienced so your pay may be lower, over time, your salary should be reviewed. However, except there is a general salary standard for that position, your salary may not be reviewed on time, for obvious reasons.
She should stay with her company because for them to increase her salary, it means they know her value and they are willing to match her new offer to keep her based on her current performance, it will show that she is committed to the company and the company will be indebted to her, they will also understand that she is valuable and can easily get a new offer elsewhere.
This new company will not value her as much, they believe they are offering her better than what she’s earning before and as such there’s no where better for her to go. That if her previous place was better, she wouldn’t have left, for offering her better than what she’s currently earning, they will expect her to perform wonders, putting her under serious pressure.
And by the way, she will soon find out that N850k is not so much. Your point point is defending the current company and bad mouthing the new that they will not appreciate her pls be critical in opinion. The company didn't promote her to about 650 but suddenly match the exact new payment something isn't right. The new company is giving her an entry level of what the current is chasing to retain. But all you said about the new company is evil prejudice and a negative one for that matter. It's too early to address sadist |

TheExecutioner: "Hi sweetheart, I am not your father, but I have been getting all your messages for the past 4 years," replied Brad, a man who lost his daughter in 2014.
23-year-old Chastity Patterson of Newport, Arkansas, lost her father four years ago. She'd been keeping his memory alive through texting his number each night, updating him on the ins and outs of her day, hoping he was listening.
On Thursday, October 25, the day before the fourth anniversary of her father's death, she recounted her year.
"Hey Dad it's ME," Chastity said."Tomorrow is going to be a tough day again."
She talked about how she beat cancer and how she hadn't gotten sick since her father's passing."I promised you I would take better care of myself!"She recapped how she graduated college with honors, fell in love and got her heartbroken, but she made it through a stronger woman.
This year, she got a reply.
"Hi sweetheart, I am not your father, but I have been getting all your messages for the past 4 years,"the message read.
He introduced himself as Brad and told Chastity how he lost his daughter in a car wreck in 2014."Your messages have kept me alive."
"I'm sorry you lost someone so close to you, but I have listened to you over the years," Brad continued.
"You are an extraordinary woman and I wish my daughter would have become the woman you are." Chastity posted the conversation to Facebook, her caption saying she can now let her father rest.
