udysweet: Some pple can be brazen in their acts tho! Sure say no be dat same guy wey form"handicapped" and stole a laptop at that eatery and then a phone at that party? This pple strng sha! This method of the lady that lost her fone,hapns a lot at the island o,during dos festive periods,one jus has to be alert. They accompany a buyer to a sellers place in a way that buyer thinks he or she's wit seller and seller think vice versa. In the proces na,mooney go disapear. Hw dey do it beats me
High level of confidence in stealing laced with familiarizing.
Elchappo: I really don't understand how a stranger Walked into such an office with such number of office cubicles/panel system yet none was around, could it be a Cemetery office..
Here is a man caught on CCTV, who enters a secured environment, takes the lift to the fifth floor to steal a loaded and resourceful laptop from a renowned engineering firm.
Please, be on the lookout for that man.
And this should serve as a warning to the general public in order to avert future occurrence of this kind. People now immediately familiarize with an environment via greetings and chatting, to establishing an atmosphere devoid of suspicion to operate in.
My wife once lost her phone to same scheme; a man (the thief) followed a woman and her kid to my wife’s office for a medical test, while my wife was thinking the man was with the woman and her kid for buying the kid biscuit, and making funny remarks, the woman was also thinking the man was one of the staff in the office. It was too late when discovered the man belonged not to either of them. The phone was long gone! Please, when some persons come to your office, ensure if they are together or not, and when you see a strange face, ask questions.
Strawman: Nothing in the Bible says that women shouldn't wear trousers.
If you want to point at that part of Deuteronomy that said a woman shouldn't wear men's clothing and vice versa, nothing in this world said that trousers are clothes for men only.
"A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this" ( Deuteronomy 22:5 ). The context of this passage is the second giving of the law to the nation of Israel as they were poised to enter the Promised Land. Deuteronomy 22:5 is an admonition not to live as a transvestite. This has to do with more than just clothing; it also speaks of a life that emulates in every way those of the opposite sex. Transvestitism was a practice of the Canaanites, and Israel was to consider it an abomination. We take a principle from this and apply it to our lives as believers, but we must use it in the context in which it is given and do so in relation to the dispensation of grace.
The Bible didn't mention trouser, but the israelites did understand what God referred to with respect to their culture.
The King James version of The Bible mentions pants in Exodus 28:42: "and you shall make them linen trousers to cover their unclothedness from the loins even to the thighs." And in the Book of Daniel, 3:21: 'Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, and their turbans..."
Hedonistically: Garish taste in clothes and in cars. I don't know how he does it, but this guy is just the perfect example of money miss road. Everything about him is effortlessly tasteless and tacky.
There needs to be an I.T revolution in this nation.
Plate Numbers in a Database that is easy to assess on the streets by a Police Officer.
Drivers License that can be scanned on the streets and outstanding warrants on a person easily gotten immediately.
This matter of Police Officers killing motorists in the name of trying to arrest them would reduce greatly as all they would be required under the law to do would be to take the plate number and file a report for further investigations.
It would also reduce the rate of bribery on our streets and in the Police station.
After reading through your very sensible post, I decided to correct an everyday minor error we all do make.
apheyz: Good morning the ‘’good people’’ of nairaland, this thread is actually directed to everybody who is anybody out there; job seekers, potential employers, gainfully employed folks/professionals( regardless of your field) , current serving and potential corp members, entrepreneurs- list is endless, in fact every nairalander; registered or unregistered. I will advise you all to brace up, this is gonna be a very long and bumpy ride. Like indicated in my moniker, my name is Hafiz, I am 23 years old. Am I brilliant? Well, it takes more than ‘’just’’ a second class upper degree in electrical engineering from a reputable Federal university to be considered so – as I have recently come to find out.
The period of job search can be the most challenging and trying times for a young ‘’man’’ notice the quote on the man? Too much is expected from this strong gender – too bad I am still in that period and worst still, I am man. I have went through countless threads on NL where jobseekers complains bitterly about sending out countless CV’s and not getting invites; my story is not so different from theirs, however, I am going to comprehensively explain my effort so far and by so doing; I hope to get some answers and some HELP!!!
With a 2:1 in electrical engineering, I prepared my CV immediately I got my statement of result before going for NYSC. My hope of securing a job before the end of NYSC was at its pinnacle, I was 100% confident. Fast forward to 7 months into my service year, I registered and subscribed for job alerts on all the job sites I could lay my hands on. I sent my CV to all the mail addresses that required applications that matches my profile (note: I am smarter than to send a generic resume for all the applications, I always tailor each application to match the job descriptions and requirement without forgetting to compliment it with a sweet cover letter as body of the mail); too bad I only got very few responses, even for entry level and GT positions. It was not at all encouraging. Even if I dey toast plenty babes at random, some go still gree for me na.
I noticed that the only two reasonable invites I got were for vacancies which its application were via a recruitment portal ; where you have to enter your details and upload your resumes and relevant documents on the job portal. Those were for access bank and KPMG, I easily aced the aptitude test/essay of KPMG and got a shocking regret mail after the online psychometric test, I almost could not believe it; I mean I wrote the test with adequate knowledge of their mission, vision and core values - maka why?? Access bank was the most painful, I got to the final stage with the head of HR( all thanks to very many tips, lessons and experiences from ’’rationalmind’’ and wonderful preparations of my own) only to get a regret mail 3 days later , I thought I had the Job, God knows best. Anyways I understand better than to give up at this juncture.
On the other hand, I don’t recollect ever getting invites for any of the entry-level applications I had to send through mail. I sent; StanbicIBTC bank, UBA, GTBank, diamond bank, Deloitte, amongst others that I couldn’t quite remember. I am 100% sure that other people sent their applications to the same mails and got invited for test in all of these organizations; I know these because I follow the threads here on nairaland, though some of the applicants admitted that they submitted their CV’s through insiders. Funny thing is I am always very hopeful after I send these email applications, my age and class of degree is always in sync with the requirements, most times I get an automated acknowledgement mail reply – but to get the test/interview invites na wahala. So much that I am always skeptical about sending my applications to e-mail addresses no matter how legit they seem. Could it be my village people? Could it be that my CV is not good enough? I would appreciate an appraisal from anybody who is willing to help; let’s join hands together and see what is wrong with my resume!! I possess most if not all of the graduate trainee requirements of any reputable organization in Nigeria, local or multinational. All I ever wanted was a suitable entry level/GT position with an organization where I can grow with. I am always ready to take on challenges.
At the moment I am sure both GTB and UBA are recruiting (those are the ones I know, am sure other top companies are doing so codedly too). IF only I had someone who can submit my CV and get me an invite. I have always known nairalanders as nice people, I am pretty sure behind those funny monikers are great personalities; top level executives, talent acquisition team managers, seasoned experienced professionals, Important top-shots. All I ask for is a fighting chance. If y’all cant help me, well maybe God can, because I don’t think I know anybody else.
I am very keen on adding value to myself, during and briefly after my bachelor’s degree, I have worked as an intern with an industrial engineering firm, where I learned a lot about technical maintenance. . I worked as a business development officer during my service year. I am also good with computers, I basically repair my computer system myself any it develops issues, be it software or hardware related, I also have basic knowledge of networking; data communication and networks was one course I fell in love with as an undergraduate. While I wait to get invites for entry level from banks, oil&gas firms (who no like better thing.. hehe ) and other corporate organizations (note: I do not despise the idea of humble beginnings) , I am thinking of the next step to take, what should I do? Get a master’s degree in electrical engineering (telecommunications option) Get trained and certified on CCNA, CCNP(Pursue a career in Networking)
I am actually thinking of registering with a reputable training school in Lagos and start with a CCNA . I will appreciate an internship opportunity with an I.T firm so I can gain real life practical hands-on experience while I am getting myself certified. I don’t mind doing it for free; I don’t have much to offer yet anyways!!!! That’s just by the way……. Abeg, Nairalanders, help me ooo .. I need this job invites o, now more than ever.. I am confused, I am pretty sure my CV is well structured, but then again what do I Know. I am sure an appraisal will come in handy. Abeg I no wan carry placard enter streets o … I am a graduate for Christ sakes!! But then again who graduate don epp… I am scared of outgrowing the age of entry-level opportunities, because that will push me into a whole new league. It’s now or never!!!
I have now adopted looking for a job as a full time job.
Biko, I can be contacted through a PM, I will be sure to reply with my phone number and email address. I am going to go ahead and quote a few people who I av actually at one point or the other gained from either their threads or their posts . Cc Anticent, lero15, nmreports, naijainfogalery, AjanleKoko, eipreel, rationalmind, MacMaster01, ednut1, Highmey, mikedimeji, MarshallMathers, therealadonye, adeaks, Valentinooo, Tbliz, taiwolusol, nitrogen, MissIndependent, adeaks, ksstroud, ajasa4link, Davide470, kunzo, nunogomez, Debbie, occ5050, amongst others
