From what I have seen of the mosgoon guy on this thread, he truly knows his onions. He is versed in job matters.

You may accuse him of exuberance but you can't accuse him of not being a smart dude.

I was like that on Nairaland 10-12 years ago - that young dude that shared interview info everywhere - a happy-go-lucky fresh grad that just finished NYSC and spoiled with jobs.


Interestingly, it was that passion for sharing interview tips/personal experience/experience of friends on NL that earned me "authority" status on career matters, which motivated me to form my own side hustle career firm in 2013. The small firm has a small office and 3 employees today.

Also wrote a book on careers in 2014.

It all started from Nairaland career section in 2007/2008.

I never had any training in career matters. I'm an accountant/economist by training.

it probably is the worse movie I have seen this year. I don't pretend to like what I hate. you don't have to agree with me.

KoiceReloaded:
It's easily the weakest MCU film since MCU launched with Iron-Man (2008) 11 years ago.

I await the day you will talk same of your dead comics movies actors

KoiceReloaded:
Foxx goes for the nitty gritty roles that are geared towards a specific demographic, whilst Will Smith goes for more kid friendly roles. Ofc the kid friendly roles will sell more.

mekaprime:
kindly add Collateral Beauty to Smith's flop.

KoiceReloaded:
In regards to the bolded, it isn't intentional. I usually quote comments I don't agree with.

Anyhoo, To counter your selective listing, I'm gonna be more transparent and list out the last 11 films by both actors and their varying box office successes. Will Smith goes first


As for your list, you're forgetting one important factor: demographic. Will Smith plays it safe by going for PG-12 stuff, which automatically guarantees a padded Box Office numbers, but Jamie goes for the R-rated, geared towards mature audience only.


Trust me, Jamie Foxx has better cred than Will Smith right now.

Denzel Washington remains my best Hollywood black actor. He's one actor I have empathy for whatever character he plays. And whatever role he plays, he engages the audience(me) with his act, because he fully immenseness himself in the character he plays & the rest of the lot, like the creative insight, confidence, and dedication to perform etc.. falls in place. His portrayal of John Q in the movie John Q left me in commiserate state for his character & gave me teary eyes almost all through the flick, in The Great debaters his character inspired me a lot, as he perfectly portrayed the virtues of integrity, cleverism, leadership & humility at its very peak....The list is quite endless.

HOW TO FIND YOUR WIFE
by Pastor Sam Adeyemi
.
Some guys come to church because most of the beautiful girls are found in Church.

Let me advice you ‘uncle’, if you are not serious with your spiritual life, the people that you will attract will be people whose values are compatible with yours and they will also be the one who are not serious in church.
You don’t pay tithe, you don’t belong to any unit in church, you have not attended any of the training in church..the girls that are spiritually serious won’t follow you.

Personally, you need to make a commitment to God and to grow and to prepare to be an asset to whoever it is that will marry you.

Having done that, the rest is easy.. When you feel you are prepare, the next thing is to position yourself where someone can see you and where you can see someone.

To the guys first, he who finds a wife finds a good thing. To find something, you have to look for it. There is no point staying in the bedroom and fasting for 40days, all you will see there will be angels. Is not that prayers is not important, prayer is absolutely important. But I’m just simply saying you need to ‘watch and pray’

The first time I took Nike to see my parents, after we left my aunty told me later that one of her friend asked her; how did I see such a beautiful girl? Because your nephew doesn’t look into people’s faces, how did he see a fine girl like that? So I said to my aunty to tell her that I’m a pastor, that when I stand on the pulpit, I tell people to stand up, lift up their hands, close their eyes, worship the Lord…i said I ‘watch and pray’.

Church is one of the place you meet people. You won’t meet people, if you come, sit-down, as soon as we close the service or even before we close the service, you carry your bag..you won’t meet anybody that way!
You meet people in the place of service, in the place of commitment to God’s work because He said that you shouldn’t worry about what others worry about, you should seek first the kingdom of God and His Righteousness and every other thing will be added to you.

I found my wife where I was serving God and she was serving God so passionately.

Join a small group in church, serve actively, there is where you will find people with similar values with you. You can also meet people at work, you meet people in your neighborhood, get involved, maintain your relationship with your relations and your friends, visit people..

Pray once you find someone that you think he/she is the person. Pray more and do research, ask the person as many questions as you can about her background, what she likes and what she doesn’t likes, her values and so on..

Get some of your friends who are spiritual to pray along with you. If you feel stronger about it, mention it to a pastor or a leader in church. These are your safety net, this is one of the most important decision you are making in your life, get other people to help you to pray about it

Someone asked me to pray for him many years ago. He said; I have found a lady I love somuch. I have never love a lady like that in my life.
I said to him ‘okay’ just give me short time to pray before you lunch your manifesto.
Few weeks later he came to me and asked; sir! How far? I said I’m still praying .

He came back again after a week to ask same question, then I said to him that if I am to be honest with you, I don’t see both of you together in my spirit.
Few days later he came to me again to thank me because he discovered some hidden secret about the lady.

I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that the God of covenant who has a plan for your destiny, that God will move on your behalf. Your marital destiny shall be built on revelation. He will guide you, instruct you and show you favor in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. I prophesy by the power of the Holy Spirit for everyone who has made mistakes before, with God there is restoration. I prophesy healing in the name of Jesus and I prophesy restoration. I prophesy by the power of the Holy Spirit, your divine connection in marriage will come by revelation.

Not anymore. Jamie Foxx has more pull than Will Smith in Hollywood atm. Denzel is a crowd favorite, and have always had more pull than Will Smith even at the height of Will Smith's movie career.

Will Smith movie career isn't what it used to be, and when you've consistently featured in a series of box office bombs, it's the natural outcome. Bottom line, he has lost his X factor in the sense that his presence doesn't guarantee a box office success anymore. Long gone are the days of I Am Legend.

Will Smith ironically made Jamie Foxx movie career. He turned down the titular role in D'jango Unchained because of some creative difference, and Tarantino called up Jamie Foxx to play D'jango in his stead. The rest, like they say, is history.

This DC and Marvel fanboys sef?

Is it too much of a burden to simply enjoy the best of both worlds, you know, like a normal human being? Niggaz be arguing 'bout Captain Marvel and Shazam as if their very existence depend on it.

oyaskii:
He was in Murder on the orient express and Mordecai, and you wouldn't even notice.

oyaskii:
It has been a long while he had an hit. He's always seems out of place when taking up roles where he just has be normal...This man lives for the weird roles and it's monotonous now.

mekaprime:
MOVIE FUN FACT
Denzel is named after his father who was in turn named after the doctor, Doctor Denzel, who had delivered him. He is the first African-American actor to receive two Academy Awards.

oyaskii:
Typecast...He should start taking up roles not centered on eccentricity.

KoiceReloaded:
Method acting at it's finest.

There are no both worlds fyi ... We only have Mcu and it's multiverse ....we don't know some dead company over here

They twisted her words.

What she simply said is- marry a guy who is ambitious and not a lazy man with no predictable future.

So, what she simply said is- marry a guy who has potential

Let's be honest, there are many loafers out there who have many kids with different babymamas they aren't taken care of.
