Audu was back in Mrs. Alabi's office fully reinvigorated. He felt proud of the day's achievement. All thanks to a rare gem who painstakingly put him through the rudiments of Professional Etiquette. His coach be praised!

Before he left, he decided to go over his note/jottings with her to be sure he comprehended everything that was said.

"Email Etiquette ma," he started, "also known as Netiquette is a form of communication in the corporate world. That is not to say friends and family relatives don't write emails to one another but the approach differs."

'That's right', nodding assertively.

Looking into his notepad he continued...
"You gave some very useful tips one needs to take into account. First, you mentioned having a professional sounding email address".

'Yes, I did'. She confirmed. 'Prospective employers and business contacts will not take you serious if your email address is like the one you, Audu currently have'

He laughed bending his head embarrassingly.

"I agree totally ma. You spoke extensively about that earlier and even helped me to create a new email address. I'm very grateful. Now I can proudly present my email address to anyone. For me now I understand it's an image I'm projecting, my email address conveys a message that I've been ignorant of".

'Correct! Remember I used your first and last name together to create this one you now have for you. In cases where your first and last name already exist and belong to other users, one can opt for initials, first letter of first name and last name, etc. Those are safer bets'.

" For instance, Ayokunle Okafor can register as aokafor@email. com".

'Absolutely!' Mrs. Alabi said obviously impressed.

"Thank you ma. Second you mentioned the use of an appropriate subject line".

'I did, Audu. The subject line should be short and to the point. It should describe accurately the subject of the email. " Hello " is not an acceptable subject line for a professional email'.

"Yes ma. The reason why my email landed in your junk folder was for this singular reason. I had no subject line at all".

'Good thing you still remember'. 'The third tip I talked about is the tone of your emails. I cannot overemphasize first of all the power of proofreading. Make sure you proofread your email before sending out. You don't want your tone to come across as rude, disrespectful, demanding and/or aggressive'.

" I found it funny when you said remove emotion and his twin emoticon " He laughed. "Youths believe these emoticons express feelings that words alone don't convey".

Mrs. Alabi laughed heartily too because it's trending now on social media. Youths using emoticons wrongly. In fact, bringing it into job applications is the one that baffles her the most. She has received mails with hands clasped together as if in prayer , making her wonder what that is for. Maybe it just goes to show how religious we are in this clime.

'That's a No-No! not acceptable at all. Let me also add that you don't type in all capital letters. It always come off as though the sender is shouting. Stay away from the use of exclamation marks. Don't abbreviate words (TTYL, U, 2, etc.). Fancy formats, fonts and layouts are distracting. It's not some sort of a show, it is an email therefore it is best to stick to plain text'.

" Yes ma. Can you please go over this point again ma? You said 'Get to the point'. What do you mean by that ma?".

'Good question. I was expecting you to ask then. The body of your email isn't for rambling. Keep it brief as much as you can while going straight to the point. If it's an application, be as persuasive as you can in your presentation and make sure it follows a logical and sequential pattern'.

"Thank you very much ma"

'You're welcome. Lastly, It is also a good idea to have your contact information in your signature. It is a good thing to do'. She said in closing.

"I'm more than grateful ma for everything. Your time and effort in explaining these things to me. These lessons weren't taught in the University by my lecturers, it's a privilege to have you put me through. I'm forever going to be thankful to you for all these".

Mrs Alabi smiled. 'You're welcome. It's a pleasure to have you here. You're a fast learner and a smart fellow. I'll forward you an email address to send an application to. We're hiring!'

Audu almost leaped in excitement. He was expecting to hear something of that sort but didn't want to ask her directly. He planned on asking the Secretary on his way out. He was more than sure that his application will be considered if he puts these lessons today when sending out applications. At least, being shortlisted is the first step in the right direction.

He thanked her. As he made to leave, she told him to see her secretary on his way out. Fortune had smiled on him, he was positive about the 'seeing'. His smile alone was like he won lottery, he thanked her one last time and made for the door.

Sup friend , you asked me to stop dropping facts ,which you found offensive and i yielded for peace.
Since then have been monitoring the trend and am yet to see you drop a message to the opposite side.
Am not concerened about your eastern fellow comments cuz they all dropping shits and not facts. I just wanna see you drop same message to the opposite side .

Keep having a nice day .

Why are people like this na?
Shebi if I'm dead now you would have woken me up from the grave to come and drop a comment 'to the opposite side'?

Guy, I've not been monitoring this thread! I unfollow topics before posting. I have a life outside NL, I almost got killed today!

Just go ahead and bite whoever you want to bite and leave me to thank God for my life as I recuperate in peace, ejo.

IPOB means Indigenous People of Biafra. Since you do not read such threads, I will not offend your sensibilities by asking you to do a content analysis of what their members post online. Anyone who disagrees with their point of view no matter how little, is vilified, hounded and subjected to cyber bullying and hate. His tribe is demeaned, castigated and denigrated for every real and imaginary offence known to man. Their vitriolic rhetoric is something else.

If their e-insults and cyber punches are not refuted by other tribes, before you know it their fiction will start masquerading as fact, and such untenable facts might end up becoming a legend. And that is where things start going downhill.

Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
I don't think we are making a headway here. Are you trying to justify cyber bullying? Are you an advocate for 'an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?' huh

Because if you are then I'm sorry I can't be your guest.

One thing I know for sure is if I spend too long a time here listening to these kind of back and forth arguments and justifications, it won't be long before I start hating on people in real life just because they are from a particular tribe. I'm too old for such childish gibberish.

Don't plant the seed, I don't have a fertile soil for that.
Thanks

Oh, I see. But the IPOB crew are always the first to launch the e-fisticuffs of tribal bigotry on NL. Folks from other tribes merely respond in kind to whatever hand they are dealt.

Hahahaha
This comment just made me laugh because I rarely check these kind of threads and even this one, I don't know what it's about. I only came in because I didn't like what I saw and I have no idea who started what.

If IPOB (whatever this means) throws e-punches in the air and there's no one to receive it, it will fall to the ground and die and that's their loss. But when they know you are around and 'willing' to fight back, they'll throw more and more at you. And there's never an end to it. One day, One trouble. New threads with the same agenda in mind being created for the same purpose. Just look at the number of pages of this thread, nothing relevant! Waste of data and English!

Me, I personally don't enjoy reading these kind of things that's why I blurted out.

Uh?? What did he say that is making you feel bad? The origin of nollywood movies actually started from the South-West with celluloid films made by the late Hubert Ogunde, Ade Afolayan, Eddy Ugboma etc. Isn't that true?

It's not about movie industry or about the superiority or advancement or whatever it is you people always fight for online. I frown at every form of tribal bigotry. It is simply what I stand against.

The only time you quote me is when you want to poke holes in my comment but it's okay.

You'll keep reading the wrong meaning into every message I try to pass across. I don't hold it against you as long as the person to whom my message was addressed to understood the motive behind the message including the message itself then I'm fine.

Just ignore threads like this, they have nothing but hate to offer. And most people don't mean half the things they say online offline. They have all at one point in time benefitted from the benevolence or hospitality of other tribesmen. I'm a living benefactor and beneficiary cheesy

Nigerians are good people and that's the summary of it all.

You talk of movie ,the west were into that art before you guy. Then its was more of stage play and cinema before you guys bumped into the game and spoil the real artistic display .You were funded with drugs money from your money bags ,money given to prostitute and criminals to venture into the art .
We are the one with real artistic display ,Jeniffer is doing that ,Afolayan has thought you how to make a good movie not those shits you guys produce and Ay is also teaching you more .

The the Yoruba view those venturing into theatre arts as unserious fellow and that believe still exist ,thats has limited majority of our graduate venturing into that path.

***Oh Lord help my words!
May they be seasoned with salt.

Amen.***

Okay... I'm composed now. I promise there will be no outburst.

Ladiguy, seriously every time and I mean every single time I read your posts, it takes 100 angels to hold me from lashing out. One hundred and no number less. You have a way of rubbishing and saying terrible things about Igbos and I take offense in your offensive choice of words.

I want to plead that one of two things happen today, that you henceforth comment without being tribalistic or kindly unfollow me before I do that. And I can't promise the unfollowing will be smooth if you make one more generalist stereotypical comment again.

I have loads of Yorubas, a few northerners as well as southerners, atheists and Muslims on my followership, I respect them all and I'm careful about not overstepping my bounds when I drop a comment on this forum. I advice you do same.

Take into account the peculiarities of the Nigerian socio-cultural and ethno-religious diversities of this platform whenever you click the reply or quote button.

Thank you.

So I am really keen on putting faces to the names here, but my other consciousness is saying Ogbeni couple yourself, you know you need to change Jobs ASAP, so start preparing to pitch yourself to these guys.

On the other hand, my head is saying David would be busy signing Autograph for the ladies and Ferdy would be thinking of his wife in Pluto (hasn't that been de-listed from the planets in our Solar system).

Nevertheless, I'm hopeful it would be a memorable day.

I also hope cc150615 and Amicable01 would be there. Don't ask me why.
