[quote author=COUSIN1279 post=130603714]I acquired 2000 unit of Union bank shares 40 naira per ordinary shares for the rate of 40,000 naira in 2007. Today it is 6.65 naira per share.

Yours is a bit better

What about those who bought Skye Bank shares.

WINDSOW:
Na mumu go buy their shares.
Learn from 2005/2006 era.

My 2 mites.

You are right but this time one will have to do all his/her homework which is worth buying

There are a few ones that are worth buying while some are not.

Chicken republic?! KFC?! Those are new cats.

You forgot Tantalizers, Sweet Sensation, Big Treat; Mr Biggs out lived them despite meeting Mr Biggs in the market o

You just bought back the sweet nostalgia feelings that I once had for big treat.
Big Treat bread was so lovely and luscious. In fact, at that time no other bread beat its taste. Wish I can have the recipe of big treat bread.

I tried to upgrade my account from tier 1 to tier 3 using their app. When I get to input the means of the ID number which is nin I was getting unable to validate nin.

The app is bad.

Guinea fowl taste much better than agricultural chicken and Indigenous local fowl.
I prefer guinea fowl any day any time.

The judgment delivered to her is steep. I think that an option of 50k is fine but collecting the money from her is not nice. The judge should have reprimanded her since she is a first-time offender.

The judge has hurt her means of survival in these harsh economy. I think she is trying to survive however her action is unlawful anyway

Next time they'll learn to use deodorant

Common on, are you saying all 3 african American men was smelling?

Please be serious, because is very cheap to buy deodorant over there.

BigYash:
Her dressing shows that is clout chasing venture.. That man might not even be her dad.. The way the man dey look her for the last pics though..

Are you saying that it is wrong for her to dress in that way because she is pauper?

Please be serious.

tomju2:
Payment of thithe is unbiblical! The mosaic law where the law of paying 10% of your earnings or thithes was permitted was phased out when Jesus arrived. Your pastor will never preach this. They prefer to keep the people in perpetual spiritual darkness and be milking them dry. Whatever money anyone wants to give his church should be absolutely voluntary. Not compulsory. Na so one woman take him husband car go sow seed for her pastor. The husband arrived from US and went and recovered his car! Pastor get University but members cannot afford the fees! Who is deceiving who?
Make una receive sense abeg. Stop the deceit today. Enough is enough.

So spot on.

I will like to know you more.

Bless you

judedwriter:
The issue of tithe is simply that of obedience to God's Word...

If you obey there are blessings, if you disobey there are curses.

So you choose! And nobody is forcing you to obey God.

Please stop threatening people who do not pay tithe with curses abeg.

There is no curse. You folks are just looking for a way to fleece people of their hard earned money.

Hookfast:
This issue of tithe, as a Christian you are obligated to it, if you attend a church that pays tithe, you should pay yours otherwise go to church that doesn't believe in tithe, for tithe is a strong instrument God uses to checkmate his blessings upon believers,READ MALACHI 3 VS 10-12. if you are committed tithe payer and you stopped, you are playing with disaster!.

Am a victim of tithe neglect, I stop paying tithe two years plus ago, my Business started going down gradually, without I noticing on time and totally forgot because my profit is times three I make in one transaction. Tragedy struck, hardship sets in, I couldn't believe what was on until I entered in to payer and fasting, no way out I contacted an envagelist who told me God has not revealed anything to him, and kept praying latter it was revealed in a manner that I haven't been
paying my tithe for two years plus, I rubbed God, I have submitted my self back to God for forgiveness, the little that is coming in I make sure I send it to church account still believing that God have compassion and show me mercy. As a Christian it is your duty to pay your tithe, as long as you worship in a church that observe the practice of paying tithe for your own good.

What about non Christians that own business and they don't pay tithe, their business flourish.
What you believe in will work for you irrespective of your faith.

bitbillionaire:
LoL. You pay tithe, supposedly to God, and then ask the pastor to give a monthly account of how the 'tithe' is being spent. It's the arrogance for me. Imagine a human being demanding that God should give account of the money he gives Him!

Tithe is supposed to be a holy gift you give with faith that it is God you are giving it to after blessing and sanctifying it. You don't have to give if you don't believe in it. You don't have to give if you don't believe it's God you are giving to.

Asking God to account for what you give to Him sounds sacrilegious

Are you paying the money to God directly?

Paying tithe is a scam.

God doesn't need your money because he does not spend it. Human being like you spend the money

Kavod:
OGA, NA WETIN JESUS TALK I DE FOLLOW OOO. JESUS NEVER SPOKE ABOUT TITHE. EVEN WHEN IT COMES TO GIVING, JESUS SAID IT SHOULD NOT BE WITH FORCE OR PERSUASION BUT WE AAN OPEN AND CLEAN MIND. JESUS NEVER COLLECTED TITHE NOR OFFERINGS, EVEN WHEN HE WITNESSED CHURCH OFFERINGS, HE TOLD THEM THAT ONLY ONE POOR WOMANS OFFERING WILL HIS FATHER BE DELIGHTED WITH AND SHE GAVE THE LEAST. BUT MY OWN NA SAY I AM NOT AGAINST TITHES AND CO BUT THOSE SO-CALLED BILLIONAIRES ARE INQUIRING ABOUT HOW IT WAS SPENT, THEN THEY NEVER GAVE IT WILLINGLY AND WITH OPEN MIND. SO ITS USELESS TO GOD BUT NOT TO MAN

Those Christian churches(catholics, Anglican etc) that are accounting for donated money are doing the wrong thing?
It is not a bad thing if accountability is being summoned.
People have right to question how they spend the money.
I am happy that Nigerians are now waking up.

Most pentecostal churches in Nigeria are money making ventures

Tattoos are a turn off for me. In fact once I see tattoos, nose rings, multiple ear piercings, or piercings anywhere other than the ear, it's serious social distancing

Same here to me too.

[quote author=LegendHero post=129851360][/quote]Why are you concealing his face?

I feel there should be a harsh punishment for those who are destroying public infrastructure. This is madness

Taxpayers' money is involved and used to upgrade public infrastructure. I hate seeing public infrastructure being destroyed because of poverty in the country.

casualobserver:
Did I say so? Your response alone shows the problem with Nigerian graduates. Your English comprehension is poor.

Of course they will employ Nigerian graduates but there are graduates that are deployed to the less career progressive parts of the business and there are those that are deployed to the star roles. They are not going to send a graduate from Oxford or LSE to mundane roles. The minute the are employed they are seen as future CEOs with international connections from their universities, they are groomed as such. You on the other hand have to prove yourself.

Secondly, a firm like IBTC will get the best of the Nigerian graduates. I never said all Nigerian public university graduates are bad. What I also said is that there are certain public universities that will never make it into a company like IBTC.

Dear nairalander,

If I have a person like you in my talent resources team I will redeploy you out of that department with immediate effect because you have this condescending attitude towards Nigerian universities most especially lower-tier universities.

I have seen someone that graduated from a university in England and he knows nothing. A graduate from lasu dusted him.

You are part of those who believe that everything foreign is better than our own indigenous. There are brilliant minds in lower-tier Universities so therefore I will consider them and give them a chance, not all are dullards. They have brilliant minds.

In summary, not all graduates who finished at top-ranked Universities are brilliant while there are brilliant minds in lower-ranked Universities.

E.O.D

casualobserver:
Oga I am telling you the reality. Life is not about what is fair, life is about what happens in reality. When you advertise for a job, you get many CVS, hundreds sometimes thousands, nobody has time to look through all of them. You need to give an employer a reason to stop and even read your CV.

If it is a computer that is sifting through your CV, it is looking for key words. If it is a human, the 2 things that will make him a recruiter to read your CV are the university you attended and/ or your class of degree. If a university has a good reputation, I will stop to read the CV, if it has a bad reputation or I have encountered a graduate from that University that turned out to be a quack, the next time I see that university, I won’t even read it except I see 1st class.

This is why sometimes when you apply for the best jobs at the best companies they don’t even reply because your Cv was not even read. Say you apply for a job at one of the top law firms in the country, the law firms know which Nigerian universities have goodie the best law programs. You are also competing with people who went to Cambridge , LSE, Oxford as well as 2nd tier UK universities like Coventry, Sheffield, surrey etc. so when you send your Cv with Michael Okpara university, it will never get read. Among Nigerian universities, the guy from LASU or Unilag, UI or Covenant will be always be ahead of you. It is only the jobs where these graduates do not apply to that your Cv may get a looked at. Even then you better have a 1st class.-

This is how recruitment works in the real world even abroad. You either go to the best schools or you try and get noticed by having a 1st class. As far as talent, sometimes you are not employed for your talent but for your connections.

Thank you for your detailed breakdown analysis.

However, my point of view still stands.

rebirthto:
Thanks for bringing him back to reality. Some people just talk without a reality check, I have a first class guy that works in my office that earns less than 300k

There are many like that. Some even earn lower.

Do you know that some graduate teachers earn 50k as a salary for being a school teacher?

casualobserver:
You have answered your own question


Most can’t. Speak to any employer. I am talking here about public universities.

Please when I say employer, I mean serious employers and serious jobs. I am not talking about marketing, admin assistants, receptionists, etc. these are jobs for people with “O” levels not graduates.

So the likes of Stanbic ibtc(multinational organization) that employ young graduates from Nigerian universities into their trainee program are unserious. Is that what you are saying?

casualobserver:
From What Universities? I don’t think you understand that as a graduate from a Nigerian university you are automatically at the back of the queue. Especially a government university. We employers do not rate your degrees because we have seen the products from Nigerian universities. They are generally not up to the task.

Okay.

If i may ask, which firm do you employ for or work for as their talent resource manager?

Going by what you said, it is so wrong of you to be profiling graduates from Nigeria public universities as sub standard.
Talents are everywhere and as a good talent resource manager you are supposed to widen your search gap.

I strongly disagree with you.

There are half baked graduate across all boards.

Your kind of employer that puts foreign graduates above Nigerian graduates is condescending.

It should be on can you do the job, do you have the required skills?

casualobserver:
She should go and find another job nah! The people that gave her target and are paying her what they pay her do so because staff are 2 a penny. Staff are 2 a penny because most have useless degrees and are unemployable.

The reality is that if she could have gotten a better job, she won’t be doing marketing g job where we all know what you are really selling is sex. If you are a graduate with a good degree from a good university you will not be on N350k

I disagree with you. Even if she has a good result from school, she might struggle to get a job.
There are graduates out there with good results that are doing shitty jobs of 150k salary per month.

This is a result of unwanted pregnancy. Is better for the mother 2 have evacuated the pregnancy than for her to bring the baby to life and suffer.

If I am governor of a state I will legalize abortion.

Why Covering his eyes?

Most times on nl some post are so annoying.

richmondefosa:
This is wrong and false.

I have been able to interact with a lot of people from this thread who did interviews and failed. They reapplied for other roles and were successful. An interview is a meeting where they physically assess you and your suitability for the role.

If you weren't successful, it means you were not suitable for that role. You may be suitable for other roles.

Imagine applying for a role as the chief information security officer. At the interview stage, they realise that you're not fit for the job.

Meanwhile, you're really good at customer service.

I know others who were successful in an interview but unfortunately, the role has been filled or is limited. They'll keep you in a pool. So when next there's an availability, you're contacted ASAP.

Someone from Nairaland was in this scenario for a couple of months. She has gotten an offer now.

Don't give up!

Thank you so much for the detailed insight Richmond.

The reason why I asked the question was that I did an interview for client service officer Is operation and wasn't successful so I applied for the role of internal control officer insurance and till now I am yet to be summoned for the next step and my status is showing open on the application job portal.

Thank you Richmond

richmondefosa:
Hi!

I don't work in HR. I don't know anyone who works there.
I genuinely have no influence over employment or any hiring process.

I only provide information and guidance on what you need to know and our culture here at Stanbic IBTC.

Go to the career portal of Stanbic IBTC website. Check for suitable roles and shoot at as many as you feel you're qualified for.

The worst that can happen is a rejection mail.

When you get that, give it a go again.

I know people who tried many times before eventually getting in.

Wishing you all the very best.

Cheers!

Hello Richmond

Thank you for all you do.

I appreciate you.

Please is it true that if you get to an interview stage of recruitment and you don't get the job and you apply for another job, is it true that they won't consider you for that job because you had applied for one earlier?

Good morning N'Landers,

While there were network issues with the subsea cables, this is how Glo subtly shaded MTN...

Let us grow our own, and see how Nigeria will grow

Glo is an indigenous network but they are so frustrating and they have abysmal customer service.

That is why MTN has the largest subscribers. People will patronize businesses that respect customers' concerns

Richfan:
Can you do this same uber driving in Nigeria? The answer is no....So the abroad is still better...uber drivers abroad have guaranteed security but uber drivers in Nigeria are not safe, many are killed, kidnapped and vehicle snatched...

You said Nigeria is better, what govt policy now is encouraging businesses to grow in Nigeria? The answer is non....

Yiu said Nigeria is better, What is Nigerian minimum wage? Zero cant take care of one person even before this satanic inflation recently started....etc

So, when people say Nigeria is better than abroad, I see it as deception from such person, he/she just wants to discourage others from going there..

I believe no matter how plenty the bills abroad are, the truth is that, you get value for the bills and taxes you pay for unlike Nigeria where you pay taxes and bill and never get to benefit from the govt you pay to..e.g you pay light bill but get only 7 days of light in a month like where i live .. .

Abroad and Nigeria nor be mate, let's stop comparing the two...even you that wrote this post, if your parents have been treating you bad from child birth till now, will you love and be patrotic to such parents? Oga talk truth make devil still shame..

What a brilliant talk.

God bless you.

I concur with you.

He should not be complaining at all. Does he thinks that abroad is eldorado? Was he expecting to break into Hollywood stardom because he is a Nigeria nollywood star?
Most Nigerians stars that didn't make it in the Nigeria movie industry do resort to odd jobs when they move abroad.

He should be thankful that he can pay his bills being a uber driver. I feel that there is dignity in labour no matter how little you earn from it, as long as it puts food on your table be grateful.

If he feels that the job he is doing over there doesn't befit his status then he should come back home and face Nigeria reality.

Abeg he should not be complaining o because moving abroad will really humble you and I except him to know that.
