So all these display of colors on top one reply like this na to show swag abi? I am very jealous now. Teach me color codes please. Let me know it like the back of my palm.

Honestly about Jaz, she's too engrossed in school work now. For optimum performance, she took some time off NL. However, she'll be more than happy to receive a mail from you saying you miss her . I need that type of mail sef

Hope your day was good?

We all are waiting for their analysis results and probably the approval or ban just like they did to rice.

BTW, I'll be more interested to what happens to your National ID when some theories on how unhygienic consumption of our open market Garri is, compared to the packaged ones starts to emanate.

Lol. I won't be surprised at all when I hear such theories. I'm so expecting them.

It's the singular reason why life expectancy of people in Africa, particularly Nigerians have dropped. We now have foreign diseases. Every single food we eat is now processed!

Gone are the days people roasted and boiled corn for dinner. Today, we've substituted that rich snack for Kellogg's corn flakes.

We no longer eat our local ofada and Abakiliki rice. We prefer rice crispy!

Rather than enjoy natural food as it comes, straight outta the soil, we now want it refined and packaged in tins for our destruction.

China garri is next. They should send us China Salt and groundnuts so we can have a complete meal.

That thing we dey find for shokoto dey with us here for Sokoto. We better open our eyes and enjoy it.

Urgently needed

Do you know any hardworking and focused young graduate that is awaiting NYSC and will be interested in an internship position in a HR department?

He/she should send an application letter and CV with the subject HR INTERN to careers@meristemng.com

Deadline for application is friday 24th February 2017.

Well done ma, this is more than an act of sacrifice. You are doing a great service. May your data never run out and your bank account stay fat.

Emmaesty, this opportunity will be perfect for you. Key in!

Best wishes.

I saw this news this morning and somehow, I'm not disappointed yet. I'm not upset at all. I'm actually cool like that.

BUT!...

I will know that Nigeria's madness has passed grade 1 if, any Nigerian buys this product and recommends it to others.

OR!...

If NAFDAC gives their approval because like I read, it hasn't been approved yet.

Then, like Wole Soyinka, I know what I'll do with my National ID card
I'm watching and waiting for Nigerians.

Nah... A blind child taught to use a braille isn't "correction" but "adaptation." Echolocation is perhaps a better example of correction even though it's still adaptation anyway. Fine, you say if it can be corrected, it should. But what makes you so sure right-handedness is the correct thing? Because 90% of the world population at any time uses it? As long as there has never been proof of sinister side effects or damage to self or the society, I see no reason why it should be "corrected" because it's possible.



You say not to the detriment of his feelings at all? Really? I repeated my first proper class because of this "correction." I was as confused as confusion goes. First term, I wrote perfectly and learned fast. Only for correction to start 2nd term and I began writing mirror images (3 for E and all that) and poorly. I was beaten by my teacher too. After the 3rd term, my performance was so poor I was the only child in class to repeat. I was declared 'unfit' to learn.

The correction continued because everyone taught I'd change like most lefties do. Anyway, when my parents realised how dumb I had quickly become all in the name of correction, they knew it would be the end of their child. I was left alone and I've since lived as a smart and intelligent person. Don't let me even mention what I have come to achieve in life, to God's glory.

I won't shoot you because I know it's your opinion but I just hope you'd please weigh this issue and see for yourself being lefty isn't a habit or disability. For all you were made to do with your right hand, I was made to do with my left. Where's the disability in that?

Gaara101, I'm sorry honestly but I don't mean to hurt you guys at all, it's just me and this lefty thing . It has nothing to do with the individuals.

Don, thing is, it has nothing to do with the individual (child) when he's less than 3. In your own case, they tried to stop you late and that's why you had difficulty switching. I've once taught nursery and primary school kids. I had a kid who wrote the way you did at that time because he had eye problems. His parents didn't know. He wrote 9 as P. In Primary 3 when I was his class teacher, he had not learned to read because of his eyes.

Another kid, basic 1, same challenge, lefty. I took my time with him and achieved success . Once a child passes 7, I have a philosophy I operate with, I let him be. There's so little one can do with them. They've been moulded completely.

Well, until I am sure that they are not being discriminated against when it comes to employment, I'll still work on helping the child be flexible. It's the future I'm looking at.

Principe:
Chai,you are not nice at all
Left handedness is not a disability neither is it a habit.According to research many genetic factors contribute to a child's handedness.

For example,if both parents of a child are left handed,the probability of the child being left handed is about 26%.

Left handed people tend to be more divergent thinkers because their brain function is not more dominant in one part(hemisphere) of the brain.

The brain of left handed people are structured 'differently',it is no coincidence that probably most left handed people you know are very intelligent,good at playing musical instruments,drawing or sports.

Please,if a child shows preference for his/her left hand allow him, that might 'stifle' his creativity-who knows.

I am still not happy that my parents forced me to write with right instead of my natural left hand.

Lol. I'm nice o but when it comes to correcting, I'm firm.

All my siblings have one child each that's lefty. Only my eldest nephew was taught to use both hands and he's super smart. I don't know but it is just my sentimental value of this stuff and the way my dad made us to see it.

It's not bad o but if it will disqualify one's chances of fortune in life, abeg, it should be corrected. A child who will use both sides of his brain, will . Those of us using one are doing exploits with it like that

It will take a lot of "looking away" for me to be with a child who is left handed and leave him be. Except in the cases of my other nephews, they've grown past 5. I've learned to accept it like that for them.

DonOms:
So you say it's a disability, fine. It's scientifically classified as that in some scientific environment. However, if you can't "correct" other disabilities like deafness and dumbness, why would you want to correct left-handedness simply because you can?

Exactly. Because it is possible to correct it that's why it should be corrected. A blind child is taught to read in Braille, the parents might as well not bother about giving the kid an education and seeing to it that he learns to read and write because it's a disability.

If it can be corrected, then it should.

And you're willing to do it at the detriment of your child's feelings too. Please, it's the 21st century, left-handedness isn't a curse and I'm sure that post about majority of the last 7 US presidents being lefties is enough proof.

No, not at the detriment of his feelings at all. I've helped to raise a few kids and I know how the lefty thing starts, it's like sucking one's fingers, children love to engage in that but because it makes the child sleep for long hours or it stops the child from crying, many parents encourage it. Of course after 9 - 12 months, they start forcing the child to stop overnight.

Habits, permit me to add lefty to it, easily formed but most difficult to break. It's better for a child to grow to use both hands rather than just his left.

Don't shoot me. My sentiment though.

kaboninc:
Are you trying to say it's wrong to use left hand?

Are you trying to start a war?
You don snub me finish?

praxs:
Madam, i like your observation but one thing is the cv isnt indomie-like as you asserted. I applied for 5 jobs with diz cv in january and got an invite from two. One of the invite is even a USAID while the other is a dutch organization. I guess the HRs are zombies for going tro that and inviting.

Lol.
Oga, I'm the worst person on NL you want to misunderstand because you won't like the result .

Respect my sarcastic opinion and go with your Dutch CV. I run no Dutch company but if I ever see your CV (5 page text book), I will not tell you what I'll do with it.

It's better imagined than said.
P.S: Take a break, sit alone and watch TV commercials. Pay particular attention to 'Bam Bam lala'.

joseph1832ng:
I'm right handed, though I wish I was left. I love and adore everybody that is left handed.

Lol. I'm right-handed too. I admire lefty guys and tried to learn it but like the elders say, "they don't learn how to use left hand at old age"

I can only eat with left.

karleone:
That's cool sha.
Didn't choose mine. I had an accident when I was 4 months old. It affect my right hand. So I started with my left hand and grew with it. Can't do something stressful with my right. Just slight liftings. In fact, I can't use my right for anything.

Oh! I get it now. You have to use your left. You just have to unlike maybe most of the others.

I know some lefty children who could have been right-handed but no one corrected them early. Yours is by far understandable.

joseph1832ng:
Wrong! Connection is everything. I'm telling you, your friend whose parents are influential is lacking something, the sane ingredient everybody wants and likes to associate with: Intelligence.

No offence, if her parents are that influential and she's having difficulty in getting a job, then I'm left to believe she's just a pretty face with a foreign degree.

Connections only fail those who don't know how to use it, or those who are dumb and outrightly depend on who they know to survive.

An intelligent man who knows what he wants, who makes nepotism his best friend. have the sky, not as his limit, but as his starting point.

No! No! No! No!
Connection is not everything. Connection can fail. It has been failing since the days of Methuselah sef.

Talent, they say, is never enough.
Connection, I say, can never be enough.

An intelligent man doesn't rely on connection alone. Believe you me. He's too intelligent to know that who you know only helps when you're knocking on doors, when the doors open, what comes out from your mouth had better be sense making.

karleone:
Amicable09, thanks for making me see this thread.

Some people emphasize on this left hand issue and make it look like those who use left hand devilish and lack respect.
I was in a meeting today (For the first time sha), and they were singing their organization anthem. Everyone raised their right hand as customary and me, being a new member raised my left (Have been left handed since I was 4months old). One of the members signalled me from far saying I should raise my right hand instead. I peacefully did o..
Now, at the end of the meeting he raised the issue again, saying that it's an insult. And that I can't raise my left hand in such outing. And he started telling me how the organization has taken people to places. Me I'm like (talking to my self), shey it's now a sin to use left hand? Abi God wey create the hand do mistake? For once he never cared to know the reason for my action and he gave his conclusion.

Please, let us accord same respect we give the right hand to the left hand. They are doing same function. Some are privileged to use right while others are privileged to use left. We shouldn't see left handed guys as being bad people (cos they too might end up seeing you as bad too). Yes it's true that a greater percentage uses right hand. It doesn't make it a crime for the others. Remember that most were from birth, some grew to master it's usage, while some are 'unfortunately' handicapped.
Please, let's be guided.

Lol. Karl, you are in the lefty gang, huh?
My dad likes to say it is a disability , I see it the same way too. He stopped one of my brothers from mastering and growing with it cos according to him, some companies don't employ left handed guys. I don't know if there are still companies like that now though.

I will correct my child if any of them show signs of this handicap early in life . I'll rather they learn to use both than make the right hand completely incapacitated

joseph1832ng:
Funny thing is if the OP knows OBJ or Atiku or even IBB all what you stated won't matter.

I've long given up on writing 'breath taking' CV's since the day it dawned on me that in Nigeria, 'who you know' create ways like Moses created a way for the Israelite to pass the Red Sea.

I totally disagree!
I have seen connection fail time and time again. In fact, I spent a considerable time after church service today discussing with a friend in church who is out of job.

Her parents are very influential. She studied abroad and has a master's degree but she couldn't keep a job.

Connection is like a beautiful face on a woman. It will fetch you suitors and may even get you a marriage partner but won't guarantee you a lasting marriage that is successful.

Lol.
OP, sincerely this CV of yours is indomie like no other.

I'm looking at it, the information contained, the font size, the plenty description of already stated skills and I'm wondering what you say when you go for interviews that is not on your CV.

It's not as if when you appear before an interviewer you 'read' the CV out to their hearing. In my opinion, this CV no win am.

You have a heading called 'Position Applied For' or something of that sort. Please strike that out. It should be the subject of the email when sending out your CV (job application).

Others have mentioned some things too, please make the necessary changes and if you can, those skills need not be explained in detail like that. HR guys aren't zombies.

I think your font size is too small. I may be wrong. I may be right.

Good luck!

kaboninc:
Hey.. .

With the way you snub people.. .can be funny.

Anyway, where's Jazmiynne? I hope she's good.

Lol. I'm sorry but it's never intentional neither has it been deliberately done.
This month is trying to turn me into something else, you'll not understand. I can't begin to tell you now.

However, if you mention me once and I miss it, mention me again. It may just be an oversight on my part.

Jaz is good. Thanks for asking. I'll let her know you asked after her.

@topic: Inspiring

Very very inspiring.
Her dad is doing a great job at reinforcing the little things she does and magnifying them in her eyes. Even to the point of making her think that's how the world outside is.

I support his move
You have any kids yet, Mr. Adesiji?

eezeribe:
Bright girl.unlike her wasted Nigerian counterparts,who will graduate from watching Barbie to watching BbNaija.

Really!?
Take this charcoal and brush your teeth properly. Get key soap and water to rinse your mouth.

ritababe:
lol, desperate SMART Lady there.

Goodness gracious!
Did you read the letter at all? Or even try to make sense of what the OP spelt out?

A kid who had a car accident which resulted in loss of her confidence is elated to receive a response from the CEO of Google himself!

Do you know how long some graduates in Nigeria wait before they receive an acknowledgement for their job applications? Sometimes till eternity.

Don't call any child desperate again, I beg.
Imagine if she gets to read through this thread. Nicely edit your post ejo.
