Wailers form don finish ooo, we no wan new members!!



Lalalsticlala come follow your bros laugh here ooo!

I said long ago that Wailer's form will become gold dust. We stopped accepting repentant Zombies long ago.

They should stay where they're and enjoy "chanji".

Coming soon, is it a new Nollywood trailer?

First of all I don't trust Sammy... because men can be so crafty... I mean what do you know about his business, his earlier lifestyle and what is the real reason why he Travelled. have you done this research....
My dear don't base your heart on love alone.... because no marriage can stand on love alone

Secondly, for your ex.... I will advise you not to go back to him... One reason is that men are strong and vibrant and natural born leaders... If a man cannot stand for himself with the love he has for you and marry you even against his father''s wishes then he is not going to stand for you in much more difficult situations..

Secondly, he gave up on you too quickly, by going to marry another girl.... meaning that his father controls him... If his father hadnt accepted in the end that means he wont have come back for you....

Thirdly, think about the other woman that just got married to him... Thats one reason why you should off him

Fourthly, Wait for a genuine man.... Search the net, read books and you will understand what a real man is made up off my dear....

Love cannot keep a marriage forever... If it could then why are so many american marriages falling apart today after the expensive weddings in which the man professed his love...

Stay Healthy, Stay Wise

Please be careful how you advise people before you seriously damage people. This is over-generalisation.
A friend advised my teenage love I left in 9ja to study abroad exactly like same.

While I was trying to make ends meet as a foreign student, trying to do nothing against the law, avoiding all the succulent babes from wealthy families in my school, my 9ja babe went ahead and marry another person.

Quite funny that the guy she married is also a very abusive man. When I returned, she was in the middle of one their many break-ups.

Anyhow, she's enduring a torrid marriage now. I was initially devastated, but I have moved on now.

Check some of my old posts from years back. I have mentioned this many times before.

Many people studying abroad have to work very hard to see themselves through, financially & emotionally. No sorting or buying pamphlets to pass.
Please stop your generalisation, and quit sounding authoritative on this issue.

My friend, many SANs you see today also went through hard time for years.

If you're passionate about law, remind yourself daily why you first read law.

Observing proceedings is already good.

Don't be shy to approach junior lawyers waiting for their boss to arrive at the court. Tell them you're ready to work.

As a boy, I used to go to court to observe proceedings (I have no business with law) but I always saw young lawyers milling around the court.

As a lawyer, I presume you have "sweet mouth".

If they cannot help you, they can point you in the right direction.

Sugarhugs:
All this bloggers self. Is she not suppose to get pregnant before?

My sister, abeg help me ask dem o?

If she no preggy, they will ask " she never use abortion scarra the womb so?".

World people sef.

hucienda:
...The American government specifically told Nigeria that it would not fund the exercise because “it is not somebody else’s census, it is your census.” ...

Imagine a country 'begging' another country for aid- financial and/or otherwise- to hold her census. Then why are you a sovereign state?

These people at the helm of affairs should stop disgracing the country. The last count- controversial as others before it- was in 2006. Revisit, correct and improve upon it.

When we said Buhari should stop his incessant begging for assistance wherever he goes, they said we were Wailers.

Time for oyinbo to help anyhow is gone. Even with strings attached. Their citizens increasingly want them to tackle poverty at home.

Nobody cares about your problem.
As far as they are concerned, if you cannot help yourself with all your oil and resources: Go And Die.

spiralwedge:
Dont start unless you have someone you can trust to monitor it. Brother, family, close friend etc

Forget that thing. If your mum or dad (not just family) cannot do the monitoring, forget.

Is there anybody who does not want money? People close to you might even persuade you that the quoted money is already low due to their negotiation skills.

Wetin person never see. You can only minimise the rip off.

I have been given a quote of 1800 for cement. When I told him where he can get it for 1400 from a seller I know for over a decade, he didn't want to hear, saying that price was impossible. Obviously he didn't care about saving me money, only his cut on top mattered.

Get multiple quotes. I don't like the idea of "the engineer handling it", don't let anybody have the impression that he will definitely do the work.

You can even change builder at the next stage. Keep them on their toes.

Pretend as if you are NOT desperate to do it and you have time to look around for options. It works.

Rodney King got 2 Million and was found dead in his swimming pool years later...foul play ?

You see, 2m around 10 to 15 years ago is approaching 3m to 4m in value today.

I hope he did not succumb to drugs.

Sudden "free" money can be hard to control.

Though foul play is possible.

Akshow:
Bullsheet! Just one million dollars for forty years? The compensation is very shabby. Forty years of his youthful life was taken for crying out loud! I'm pissed.

He could have become a major star, have kids and so on. He could have been killed by hardened criminals in jail.

Less than $5 to 10 million is rubbish. Police brutality victims get far more.

Justycxx:
He's wailing for a reason and the reason is that there's no other logical explanation to appointing political rogues likes amaechi, tinubu and fashola as ministers other than corruption. Buhari should stop playing the saint role, am just so ashamed of him. he's giving the corruption concept a broader definition. He's not just corrupt, he's a deceptive crook

Corruption is a major issue in 9ja.

But you still have to be diplomatic when talking about it. Image of your country is also important.
You can still fight corruption hard while laundering image at same time.

Shootings and homicide are common in USA. Knife crime is common in UK. But you will never hear either Obama or Cameron generally lampooning their country as the "worst gun crime or knife crime country in the world" when at home or abroad.

Because they know the wide-ranging impact of such gaffe. Not to mention the political implications at home.

Bsc:
Who says Buhari is not Corrupt? Brukutu sipping Dullard..

That Archbishop guy was oil worker in 9ja before. With the corruption in oil business, Buhari's stolen billions that vanished from London Midland bank won't be corruption to him.

These corruption monies, do they not buy properties all over UK with the money?

What is UK doing to detect stolen money from 9ja as they are used in UK?

You would expect restriction of non-business or declared money from a fantastically corrupt country, no?

Hypocrisy.

Mattex001:
I also did same ... Omitting ur class of degree gives the HR and Impression that this guy didn't do too well in school...

I clearly stated my class of degree followed by the CGPA much better that way(if the difference to the next class of degree is just marginal)

As for those who are of the opinion that the class of degree should not be included, there's only two things that can happen it's either the HR out of his/her own discretion decides to invite you perhaps for the fact your CV looks rich based on some of the contents such as [b]" leadership roles, awards, [/b]professional experience, professional certifications, and other selling points " or He/ she decides to sidelines ur CV and use the fact that u omitted your class of degree as a criteria to downsize the number of applications, that's just it

Now we should also keep in mind that there are numerous factors that could earn you an invite ur class of degree alone doesn't do it all, but there are some HR who looks forwards to your the Awards and Leadership roles section on your CV, while some are more interested in your experience and so on.....

I agree.
But I cannot remember any of my school colleagues winning awards and accolades and leadership ish that didn't make distinction/merit, 1.1 or 2.1. Depending on how the degree course is classified.

Professional certifications for 2.2 & below are usually an afterthought (not exclusively though), to make himself/herself sellable.

Doing certifications alongside degree course takes some good level or organisation, intelligence and discipline.

During undergrad years, certain people were allowed to do PG diploma (not certification but academic) alongside. BUT condition was a high level of performance in the degree over previous three years.

To do certification alongside privately, you will not want to bite more than you can chew.

goodvision12:
Does it mean that no man born of woman in this country is capable of telling this man obasanjo to shut up his mouth and concentrate on those things that unites us.During his tenure there was also several abnormalicies and corruption.He should stop throwing these bombs in order not to overheat the polity.

Abnormalities are just an understatement.

No other regime beside Abacha's has had so many political assassinations. Even his Attorney-General & MoJ, Bola Ige, was gunned down as "all his police orderlies suddenly went for food at the same time".

Sunglass20:
I am telling you. She should learn decency from her husband!

That's the irony.

A man/woman will fashy a cultured potential spouse and chose agbaya/uncultured one.

ademasta:
It's because there are other things on the cv that got them attracted. Employers already know the trick

Nope. Maybe their pay and or working conditions are rubbish anyway. So most 1.1 & 2.1 who took the jobs in the past only used it as a stepping stone, and moved on quickly.

I know people turned down from certain jobs for reasons like : "Sorry, you're over-qualified for this job; sorry, we know you won't stay long on this job". It might be rare in 9ja where decent jobs are not abundant. But not unusual in some places.

deraluv:
the python was killed in Owerri today in a Poultry farm in Urrata,where it usually comes to eat up chickens and eggs for food and didn't know that today is the last day.

Dude, this is Forest Cobra AKA Black Cobra AKA Black & White lipped cobra. Very dangerous, extremely defensive and has copious amount of venom in a bite.

I have seen it swimming in water, in a river flowing through the forest. It usually lives in the forest and not seen too much around homes. The birds were the reason for coming.

kaziblake:
I totally disagree with no 3...A woman who goes out to work in order to feed you and the kids while you stay home doing nothing have every right to insult and even deny you sex.

Mecheww

Real men don't beat their wives

True. You just divorce the unruly and agbero woman.

I have said that a lot more divorces are coming. Baby Mama will soon be the norm. 9ja celebs have already started it, Davido, Flavour & more.

Nusaf:
Oh, u are even interested in the recovered loots? That's great. That's to say u agreed that alot of money was stolen under ur hero's watch and such was intended to be continued by seeking re-election. But have u ever wondered what would have been of this stolen money if he had won the election? On announcing the recovered loots, I know why u are concerned. That most people are corrupt does not mean that everyone is.The recovered loots are in safe hands and the amount will be made public when necessary.

Says your Daura Messiah. He has not shown any recovered money. Why would I not be interested, is it not what he used to campaign? Once you have won election, every citizen has the right to hold you to account, whether 97% or 5%. It is everybody's country and money. The 5% even own 97% of the oil.

At least we know that Abacha that he served under that he declared "was not corrupt" has had his hundreds of millions of dollars returned to the govt lately. Was that lotto money or looted money?

Which person without total lobotomy would say Abacha was not corrupt?

Well, since he's Fulani, he can be allowed to rule even if in coma.

Nusaf:
More grease to ur elbow as u continue to hold brief for the thieves of our common wealth. And while at that, endeavour to make contact with them so that ur effort will not be in vain.

Well just because you get crumbs from Bubu's aid's table now doesn't mean I need it like you.

When you wildly accuse people, give evidence. That is fighting corruption. Not quoting figures without evidence.

If your boss was to accuse you of embezzling money, would it be fair without evidence? Don't let hate and bigotry blind you.

If you claim people quietly returned money, tell us who, how, when and how much. And where the monies now are.

1miccza:
Smh chai!!! Naija we've been seriously scammed..

Somebody who choses to be led along the road by a blind person should NOT complain when they both end up inside the gutter.

Please show us the house Diezani bought with allegedly stolen NNPC £50b.

And show us GEJ's mansions.

Since APC goons say they stole the country blind.

Why has nobody shown us Osinbajo's "mortgage" house in Bedford, England?

So that we can compare with the condition, size & expanse when he leaves office.

henryhemon:
No Bro,they will ask during an interview session not before or during submission of CV's thats my point. Guess you might have seen posts were peeps say they have seen 2:2 materials that are far much better than 2:1 peeps? I can tell you most times they are smarter and more intelligent, your grade doesn't define you.

Well, I have seen a couple of guys capable of getting 1.1 who got 2.2.
Both lost focus early on the course. This was a school where all your time in the university count towards your degree. Last two years contributing more of course.
They could not make up well enough for earlier slips in the final year.


Ability to work hard over a long period to achieve a stated goal, to still perform well irrespective of pressure, distraction, challenges. That is the point of your degree class partly, and it is a thing most employers desire in their staff.

There are many extremely intelligent people who wasted their abilities. Because they lack the other aspects of intelligence like focus, determination & discipline.

Now you twisted my point talking about "degree class defining people". There are school drop outs who are now billionaires. Zuckerberg, Phillip Green & Gate come to mind.

But would you advise your siblings to leave university half-way and come sit at home because of Zuckerberg's & Gate's success?

Of course if you end up with a 2.2 or third class or a pass, you can still make it big. You may have to try harder to get a foot in.

I'm certain that given a choice, an average human being would take a 2.1 over 2.2 when graduating.

Ecclesiastes 9:11.

"I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all."

haibe:
I beg to disagree.. this classes or grades actually do not make make sense, at least to a large extent.

You call someone that finished with a 3.49 a second class lower student and label him "dull" or "less intelligent "

You then call someone that finished with a 3.50 a second class upper student and label him a more intelligent fellow.

You refuse to give the former a job because of your assumption, while you give the latter a job because of your assumption.

The first thing to note is that the difference between these two is insignicant and putting them in different class doesn't make sense at all.

It is very possible that the guy with 3.49 is actually a better student depending on the difficulty of his course of study, strictness of the examiners, human error while marking his scripts, the conditions of learning in his school environment .. etc.. in order words basing your decision on absolute figures can be misleading, factors that could determine a good grade should always be put into concern.

What most employers do is like investing in a company simply because it has a higher profit than other companies, without taking into consideration factors that could have led to the higher profit (like the weighted average number of shares used to generate the profit and other capital).

All in all, those classes are meaningless as they ascribe an ability to a person based on historical conditions, you should employ people based on what they are now or who they are now, not who they are 7 years ago.

So I totally disagree with you that 95% of the time, your grade shows your intelligence, that's too false.

Dude, the sad truth is that there's nothing you can do about it. Performance has to be measured.

If doing military screening exercise and you are to run x km within y minutes compulsorily, if you miss it by a few seconds, you're out. It doesn't matter if you would have single-handed wiped out Boko menace because you would have become Schwarzenegger of Nigerian Army.

If you also don't meet grades for medical school admission, you won't go. It doesn't matter if you have extremely dexterous hands and would have become an excellent surgeon.

Those who set up these criteria know from historical evidence that these things are important. The fairness or unfairness of it is irrelevant.

Standards have to be set. That is the real world. None of us will ever always get everything we think we deserve each time.

femi4:
Perhaps it ll be better for you argue about what you know. Not all organisations love paper work, some of them do request you fill an online CV format where the classes of degree options are just "Distinction" and "Second class". No column for even your actual grade.

In CV writing, we know those stuffs that are mandatory, and definitely stating your type of second class is not one of them.

Human resources are more concerned about your vision, authenticity of your certificates and results irrespective of your class and your ability to meet their set goals.

In Nigeria, emloyer required for specified age, grade, location and other factors to reduce the no of application received

if that is the case why the lamentation of many 2.2 graduates here and outside here?
It does not matter which format the cv takes, online or hard copy, it is still CV. And anyone confident of his grade will include it. A friend of mine from UK top university, with a 2.2, with internship experience and more, never even got the chance to state his vision.

All his 2.1 and 1.1 fellow graduates with less internship or none were interviewed with most employed or even selecting which offer to accept. He only got to work in a multinational after MSc.

In 9ja we know that anything goes depending on long leg.

teaser101:
I knw say Nigerian guys no go like this at all because Nigerian women fit copy am

But honestly, you know Nigeria ladies are the ones who want marriage badly. A place a girl talks about marriage on first date: " I want to marry by December. It is already August now. All my friends have married". With that rush, no wonder they'd marry anything with bia bia & deek. Only to blame all men when it fails.

They should please copy it. Infact, they should just stop pushing men to marry them.

Don't you know lots of men like baby mama idea increasingly? Look at all the young eligible 9ja celebs. From Davido to Flavour.

No need for Tiwa & Tunji drama. It it doesn't work, no need for divorce, just move on.

femi4:
A wrong assertion. Even some 2.1 graduate don't remember to include it.

Unless your employer specified that it must be on your CV, it is not mandatory

How many forget that? You think removing/forgetting the grade will sell you better initially than including it? If you forget that maybe you don't deserve the 2.1.

I have seen many CV formats, attended cv writing sessions even as a student and how it has changed over the past 20 years plus. From including age, nationality and not including them. From including all qualifications/degrees to not including if attained over ten years earlier unless crucial to the job you seek, etc.

You could say nothing is mandatory. You can also write just your name and address and post. And wait for prospective employer to call you because you have made them curious with that. And they now have a burning desire to know your degree course, school, profile, aspirations, goals, etc.

henryhemon:
I haven't seen any serious organization who asks of grade first?Is grade coming to work for you?

Really? Well, some of the word's best companies recruiting from my university back in the day clearly requested grades.

I wonder if you would consider Barclay's Bank, HSBC, the largest pharmaceutical & insurance companies unserious.

A good grade means you worked over many years towards excellence. At least in climes where buying pamphlets and settling lecturers don't determine your grade.

Top companies want the very best. Guess what, they correlate it with your grade.

Not the son or daughter of so & so or reference from certain big individuals matter.

Beautifulemi:
Lol! it is better to leave the recruiters curious and surprise him or her with your intellect. Most times, some persons have this result on paper and not in their brain.

Fact is there are many people chasing few jobs. Grade is initial screening tool to avoid a deluge of of applications.

95% of the time, your intellect will reflect in your grade. Of course, bereavement, financial worries and so on can negatively affect grade.

Except you're applying for woodwork, iron bender, rewire and so on. Whereby your strength lies in your manual skills.

BodyKiss:
This question is really a no brainier, and if you're a recruiter, it's even more disappointing that you asked such a question.

Why would any sane person lay focus or emphasis on his/her weaknesses? Like someone said above, it's better to leave the recruiter curious. You can better defend your poor grade in person, than letting your CV do that for you.

Well, if the recruiter specified 2.1 and you left it out in your CV, what's special about your CV, among many 1.1 and 2.1 submitted to make recruiters curious?

It simply means you have not met that minimum grade criterion having failed to clearly state it.

LastMumu:

"And if your right hand causes you to offend, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is better for you that one of your members should perish, and not that your whole body should be cast into hell." - Matthew 5:30

Similarly, if including 2:2 in your CV would lead to you being discriminated against, remove it from your cv and leave just "Second class honours", for it is better to leave the recruiter curious about your real grade than your 2:2 CV being thrown in the trashbin. - Lastmumu 2016

Every idiot and his dog know that when people omit 2.1 from Second class grade, it automatically means 2.2.
No exception.

When you're given a chance to come for an interview, it's not because you fooled your prospective employer.

poseidon12:
So can you give a suggestion why the husband is suddenly missing and wife is dead? A coincidence? Of course the man is on the run because he killed the wife. Reminds me of OJ Simpson in Los Angeles and how he took off when police called him to ask about his wife Nicole Browne Simpson's death.

Trouble is he did not intend to kill her but she died, no way anyone would believe him. Rushing her to hospital might have proved readiness to save her life at least. But with record of domestic abuse known to all, that would be hard anyway. He made everything much worse by running swsy, whether on purpose or out of confusion. Rip ma"am.
