To tell you guys that October stipend has come in. This is my 6th stipend but it is a pity that my 5th and 6th stipends won't be for investment but spending.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_naira

Nigeria lost its power over dollar in 1986 when Babangida was head

Based on this time line, Naira depreciated greatly from 1999-2009, OBJ and Yaradua era.

Interesting how we all conveniently overlook 'the infection in the caesarian wound' which we are told is also part of the reason for her death. Calling a dog a bad name just to hang it. What guarantee is there that she would have survived with the blood transfusion? Doctors refusing to take responsibility for their carelessness and recklessness since ages

The aspect of infection says a lot about the surgical instruments used as well as the state of atmosphere (air) in the theater room. The Sepsis says a lot about about the handling of treatment of the infection. Her refusal to have blood transfusion to me, is a distant factor.

I would rather blame her death on infection that lead to sepsis than to blame it on her refusal to have blood transfusion. Sepsis in patients are always life threatening.

He will be tried for manslaughter but not murder, juju or no juju. RIP to the dead.

Makpenen:
Yes. I spoke with d man with d number they put on mine and he directed me to send my details to one other number which I did bt no reply till date. I called d second time but he didnt pick his call. Even d address they put on my mail does nt exist. I dnt knw for forcecom again. My status read hired already and i dnt knw what next to do. Y are they delayin person?

My candid advice to you guys who are currently trapped with Falsecom is to create new emails address and register afresh with Sure-P GIS and continue waiting on new prospective employers. As at now, nobody knows the fate of Falsecom after people have made complaints about them.

Psittacus:
Gate crashing was not allowed in ilorin. Your mail stating your invitation was the only way you could enter the venue. But at some instances entropy sets in, i couldn't recognise some faces. But to avoid any embarrassment i will say push your buttons well and wait for your invitation. Cos there are armed men..well armed with machine guns. At some point, i taught they invited BH.

Hahahaha, may be they were paranoid about hungry graduates who could eat the officials alive.

@authority2006;
Thanks amillion for d info. Pls may I knw if employ didn't fill d space for interns Report, will it affect interns monthly stipend ie not getting paid ?

It shouldn't.

dhope:
pls nairalanders, i wanna know how much surep pays as stipends to d selected beneficiary and then do companies dt take someone also add anything to their stipend? i got an invite for a fair dis wk to meet enployers but i wanna know if it is worth going. i'd appreciate ur contributn plss

30k. Salary from your employer depends on the level of humanity in him or the level of greed in him. While some employers actually demand cut from that stipend.

Juliuseghe:
@puntersmind- Since I started work in September 25th, I have not received my september stipend and I'm likely not to receive my October stipend because my employer didn't fill-in interns monthly reports for the two months. My employer only filled monthly time-sheet for both months. When I asked if he updated d monthly report form on d website, he said, he didn't knw he was suppose to fill d monthly report for interns. Pls what can my employer do inorder to update d monthly reports for sept and October or how can my employer get d monthly report of interns for both months accross to SURE-P so dat we can have our ( me n my colleaque) stipends paid?

There is hardly any difference between time sheet and monthly report because both are joined together. Time sheet is on top while the space is provided below it for you or your employer to type what you learnt or the task you accomplished during that month. You may not actually count the September since you started very late while October stipend has not been paid. I started on the 23rd and I didn't get stipend for that month. Cheers.

morewealth:
@ puntersmind, my time sheet still shows the zero working days after all efforts by muy empoyer to revert it to 23 days. And my employer is saying he can't find the submit button that he can only see save time sheet. Please is there something wrong?

Well, let your employer know that save button and submit button are not found in the same place/section. Save button is found under "timesheet/feedback" section. After saving what your employer has filled, he will then go to the homepage and refresh that homepage if possible. He should scroll down the homepage, and the Submit Button will be there waiting for him. If he has more than one intern, he should fill the timesheet for all of them before submitting it at once.

marriedmum:
So why did her husband test negative?
Are you trying to tell me that a woman who gave birth 11months ago hasn't had anything to do with her husband even for at least the last five months?
Think about it?

Come up with your own theory on the possible cause of her HIV status and that of her baby based on the piece of information in the article. The husband tested negative, and that wouldn't be the first case of such. Besides that, it is even irrelevant whether they ccopulate after birth or not, as long as husband has tested negative which means husband wasn't the source of HIV. What is your point again?

And to think that many Nigerians acknowledged Cecilia Ibru as their role model at that time, before her bubble burst. Cecilia Ibru is one hell of a thief. A woman for that matter.

The way this insecurity in the land is going, and the general lack of trust and incompetence on the part of our leaders, Nigeria as a country may soon explode. Just forget that this thing won't spread beyond North East or Northern part of Nigeria because I know that some of us in the South have this feeling of false security.

And no president has ever said that "stealing is not corruption".

lilprinze:
People that are suppose to spend life imprisonment or sentence to death by hanging are been set free .
This country is a big joke.

See your big mouth like that of hippopotamus . Now you know who is guilty that deserves to to be hanged more than the military that arrested, detained and released them.

TBA (traditional birth attendant) was responsible, very clear. The woman tested HIV negative six months into her pregnancy. During delivery, TBA made incision to create more space for the baby to pass through. And in all sincerity, you can't say that TBA normally sterilize their equipment. So, the woman contracted HIV when that incision was made on her, and her baby contracted it through brea$tfeeding.

An 11-month old infant was brought by the mother for a review. The mother had noticed that the child had not been eating well for a month. She said the boy had refused the usual cereal with milk, necessitating forced feeding.
The baby was said to be active and fully immunised up to his age and had been growing well up till present. The male infant was examined thoroughly and found to be growing well, but his tongue and the inner parts of the mouth had a whitish patch which the mother said was the milk leftover after feeding. A mouth examination showed that the whitish patch on the tongue, the palates, the inner parts of the cheeks and on the throat were likely to have extended down the tract. This is a clear case of oral thrush, medically called oralcandidiasis.
Other examination of the body part showed swellings under the baby’s armpits and cheeks, which made me to start thinking of possible HIV infection in the child . The mother and child were sent for several blood tests, which revealed that the infant was infected with HIV probably acquired from his mother at birth or during breastfeeding.
The mother was advised at the post-test counselling to disclose the situation to her husband so that he could also be given attention if infected. The he man was brought to the hospital, and he was counselled before doing the HIV test. He tested negative and accused the wife of having extra- marital affairs. The woman and the child are currently receiving treatment in one of the public clinics in Lagos that cater to people living with HIV. The follow-up revealed that the couple has separated and the man has moved on.
The woman was believed to have acquired the HIV infection from a traditional birth attendant where she had her baby.
During the delivery, she had a vagina tear and her placenta did not come out at the right time. She had several concoctions put in her mouth and private part before the placenta separated.
She said, “I did the HIV test when I was six months pregnant and it was negative. I later registered with a traditional birth attendant a month to my delivery on the insistence of my mother.”

Very simple, Mr jonaTAN doesn't want election to take place in the North East come February next year. After election, Boko Haram will be pushed back into Sambisa forest but not by his administration.

phineas:
On topics like this people ought to contribute responsibly.

In nigeria,this is a common scenario,mostly with the yoruba culture and amongst certain religious sect.

I blame the women for marrying such primitive men,I blame soceity and pple such as nairalnders that commented carelesly for its existence in present day soceity.

It used to be a sign of submission but it failed the prior generation.The men took the money enriched themselves abused their spouses seeing they had nowhere to go.

So a man and wife build a house with all the womans salary,and his relatives or his 2nd wife take over,remember she has no other "savings" hence totally dependent.Not just her her children too.

So in this day and age a man says to his working wife "bring all ur salary" in a culture that has no protective laws for its women and some folks come on here and say its submission? Its not submission its evil and theivery by a lazy man,men like that eventually find other places to validate their ego,they spend on other women who look at them as a rich provider...

I've seen and heard of a few like this,non ended with the man staying despite the woman agreeing to remit all her income.like it is with every bully,giving in never solves the problem,the demands just get worse as the woman looses all her respect completely.Don't these women respect themselves? To respect yourself means u carry yourself and treat urself in a manner deserving to be respected. women,learn from the prior generationn,look out for ur family,but look out for urselves too,have ur own egg nest.if not for u,for ur children.Ignore society,if you trust the man completely,fine but remember its your responsibilty to protect yourself and your children with your choices,be wise.choose well.

Yoruba culture and some religion sects, really? Liar!

Gloria3389:
to those that said Yes....are they married?.... if NO, then your statistics is wrong cos things are easier said than done....
I'm single but my prayer is to have a husband whose salary will be far far bigger than mine such that my salary will mean Nothing to him.... only a weak man will demand his wife's salary with authority ....

And what happens if your salary is bigger than his? Or, you are going to do comparison of salaries before you agree to marry him?

On Nairaland, many people don't normally read beyond the topics, then they would simply go ahead to post comments based on that. That's why you see them crying $1. Lazy a$$.

The Punch newspaper concluded its own version of the story with this statement from one of the party officials: "He added that the party was however convinced that none of its governors would breach the agreement they had with the party on the President’s endorsement".
They know that serious problem can arise if one governor from the north decides to pick the presidential nomination form since Abiola and Balewa had forced them to have a rethink about their not-well-thought-out and illegal endorsement.

FG, please don't ban Okada as a means of transport for now because I've invested so much in this business o. Please o.

Mogidi:
Calling those Fulani herdsmen "cattle" is uncalled for. Whatever happened to politics without bitterness?

I hate people like you because you are a liar and a manipulator. Below is what the posted:
"You mean 23 million cattle endorse the zoologist? Its only natural. It couldn't have been the herdsmen, it must be thier cattle".

The Corpers shouldn't allow themselves to be used for rigging next year.

It's a common knowledge that most tailors in Nigeria often disappoint their customers.

I have been disappointed severally by different tailors. There was a case I nearly cried. LOL.

Anyway just recently, my tailor of about 6 years just disappointed me today. I gave him a material to make for me about 2 weeks ago. I told him we are to wear it as uniform for an occasion.

Actually, we are doing Youth Weekend in my church. All these while I haven't been participating actively in Youth programmes in my church. But this time around, I decided to be serious and take active part in this youth weekend, of course like 2 sisters in the church have been encouraging me to. I attended youth meetings in preparation for the D-day. I rehearsed with them. I learnt the songs we were supposed to sing this Sunday, the D-day. I was assigned to take the bible reading, and I accepted. Only for the tailor to disappoint me.

So I will be odd. I have taken it in good faith.

So please share your own bitter experience with your tailor(s).

Have you ever been disappointed by a tailor, and How did you react or feel when you encountered the disappointment?

I remember a tailor that disappointed his customer about 3 years ago in Osogbo. He was taken to court by his client and court sentenced him to 3 months imprisonment. Though, I didn't read anything about fine as alternative to imprisonment. Not many of us know this, even we wouldn't need any lawyer to argue our case.

cc150615:
Do u know if there'll be a fair in Osun state any soon Please?

There will be a fair in Osun state but I don't know how soon. I received a link on behalf of my friend because I have access to the email address he used to register with Sure-P. The link stated that the survey form should be filled on or before 3rd October. If you have registered with Sure-P in Osun state but has not received any link to survey form and you are in Osun state, you can also follow the link here since the survey form is not personalised. I just hope it is not too late.

Alert for Sept. Just came in. UBA deductd N1600 from my alawi. Is it because its my first tym or dat's how they remove evry month?

I know that their ATM card is N1000, plus another N100 and another N5 (vat).

September stipend paid.

I haven't seen Fashola and Rotimi claiming credit for Ebola containment. We all know those who tried to smuggle the achievement into their 2015 presidential election campaign just like #bringbackjonathan2015. Nigeria presidency is synonymous with trash since 2009.

This boy called Seun has got some issues, walahai.
