People should listen to 'Dancers at the Gate of Death' by Dr D.K Olukoya and learn the havoc fornication is causing on today's generation, as well as the serious need for deliverance.

The Church today is essentially in a big mess, but that doesn't mean there aren't still men who serve God in truth and in spirit. That's why one should be careful how they talk about ministers.

that book is deep.

Who friends their dad on social media?

that you Dad aint your friend on fb or on other social and professional platforms doesn't mean he might know nothing about the stunts u pull everyday.

he could know ur ID on nl. be careful.

don't do what ur Dad wont be proud of u for, albeit he aint watching either. Apply the same principle with God.

just pray you have father that "stalks" not.

bro, if we must be frank with ourselves, Buhari is a better candidate compared to GEJ.. Buhari's zero tolerance to corruption is enof for me among other qualities. He tried his best during his regime despite the fact that he had his turn in uniform(when he could abuse power but didn't) and couldn't rule up to 2yrs. Its sad to see pple compare Buhari with GEJ..if we must speak the truth, the major problem of Nigeria now is corruption..this is the root of these problems (insecurity, unemployment, inadequate infrastructure etc)..tackle corruption to a large extent and u ll see the Nigeria we dream of..


Buhari can do it and he will do it, by the grace of God.

I prefer this GEJ unbiased platform of corruption.

Did I say I support corruption?

So, you should blame the President for once a mini-turned-major problem a Governor would have ordered the concerned L.G Chairman to take care before this state.

what happens to the security allowee allocated to Borno State?


is it that u know the truth, or u intentionally turned blind eye to score a political point?

He withdrew from GTBank ATM, Minna Branch.
32k was dispensed instead of 40K.
This happened on the 2nd of this month.


and for those that will start questioning the authenticity of this news, you can always go withdraw without counting. we will be here by God's grace to share white handkerchiefs and tissues when your time come.


He is still perambuling the bank o. he was told to check back on Monday. He should threaten them with his lawyer.


From fake notes to deductions.

I used to hold GTBank on high esteem. I still wanna believe it was a mechanical/counter error.

PointB:
The Tribulation of Jonah, Chapter One Verse 1 - 24

1. In the fourth year of the reign of Jonah the Able, Son of Locki, prosperity was upon the land, and there was grains and tubers in abundance.

2. Thereupon, King Jonah spoke to the people saying ''Lo, I have rebuilt the rails and the road, and given you abundant bread.

3. In my reign you have not queued endlessly for oil. I have reformed power and made our nation prosperous.

4. Reward me, O great people. Let me lead you to further greatness!''

5. In those days, there arose from far North a barbarian horde which lay waste to the country side, burning, looting, killing and taking as slaves men, women and children.

6. They were led by brutish commanders named after cows.

7. The people cried out and say, "O King, may you live long and defeat all your enemies. Alas, She-cow and his bands of terrorists do make life difficult for us. They burn our houses, loot our barns, kill our men, take as slaves men, women and children, and they take our lands.

8. O good King, put to the sword this terror leader and his hordes.”

9. Wherefore Jonah the Able, Son of Locki dispatched his trusted commander, Ihe the son of Rika.

10. Ihe the Son of Rika took thousand men and fell upon Shecow and his band of terrorists in the battle of Baga.

11. Shecow fled with his men to the wilderness of Sambisa. But Ihe the Son of Rika pursued them deep into the deadly forest (for he had swore to crush them), and he put to the sword several of them, including Shecow who died of his wound.

12. Thereupon, Ihe the son of Rika retired, and returned to his home.

13. And there arose a certain zealot, Mumu the son of Hari, frail by age, and wrinkled by pain and anger. Thus did he address Jonah the Able, Son of Locki, “You are killing my people for a cause started by your people.

14. “O, wicked King, you rode your people in the best chariot, gave them gold , land and plough when they arose against the nation, but you put arrows and spears into mine for same deed.”

15. “Most assuredly I say to you, I shall take your crown and right all the wrongs you have done.”

16. And these were the men who stood by him, when he thus address the king, Atif son of Tifku, Tifni son of Nubu, Sara son of Raki, Ob son of Jeh (many of these men wined and dined with Jonah the Able son of Locki, and several kings before him).

17. The others were Ameh the Swift, Son of Echi (for he’s swift in running errands), and Roch the Sly, son of Cha.

18. Thereafter, arose another terror leader, He-Cow (for the terror leaders are named after cows).

19. He butchered male children as they learn in peace, and the female he took in their number as slaves and wives.

20. And thus did he taunt King Jonah the Able, Son of Locki, ''I have taken your daughters. I shall sell them as slaves, and marry them off to my warriors. Repent and follow my god and my way, or I shall destroy you and those who follow you!''

21. But King Jonah the Able, Son of Locki would not budge. He dispatched Mini the son of Mah, another trusted general.

22. Mini the son of Mah descended upon He-Cow in the battle of Kondunga, slaying him and those who follow him.

23. And Mini the son of Mah addressed the people saying, “Behold He-cow lifeless body as it lay dead among his terror band. Verily, verily, I say to you, same fate shall be meted to any and all who go by the name of cow, and ply terror as trade!''

24. And there was great rejoicing among the people, for they saw the body of He-cow, who tormented them, among the dead!
(Chapter Two coming)

this is beautiful.

hope I can make use of it?

25 KILO WATTS? Do you know how many MEGA WATTS OF ELECTRICITY THAT IS? That is 0.025 Mega watts. Thank God I'm an engineer and cannot be easily fooled. 0.025 MW is not only laughable but ridiculous to be making so much noise about.

let's say its purpose is to power that ONLY NAPTIN building in the environment.

I wanna believe they are not using air conditioners there.

A question by Ian Mitchell (Currently seeking Programme and Project Management Opportunities worldwide)

“Is linkedin a good way to seek a new role or are job boards better? What is your advice...”


Responses

Henry Motyka (Business Analyst/Project Manager looking For New Position)

“Job boards are a very poor way to seek a new job as those who post there usually receive many applications. That greatly reduces your odds. Jobs posted on LinkedIn also have the same problem. Many people usually apply.
Instead, think about connecting to as many recruiters as you can on LinkedIn. They usually post their open jobs in the Headlines. I have found that a useful way to go. You may also use LinkedIn to try to connect to people in your field. It's a form of networking.
Finally, consider going to as many networking events and presentations as you can in your field. Meetup.com has lists of networking groups. I have also found this a very good way to job hunt.
As you network, remember to have a very strong pitch prepared so as to impress people in your field that you meet.”


Todhunter Mark Weber (Services and Maintenance Manager; Asset and Capital Project Manager)
“Personal connections always trump social networks of all kinds”


william adams (CEO Amalgamated Conglomerates)
“job boards are essentially worthless for job seekers
i suspect that advertised jobs on LI would give some results but for a person there will still be lots of competition but overall both are poor”



Anupam Haldar (TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT CENTRE ,President & Chief Executive , Author , Trainer , Editor ,Counsellor)
“Ian , alone Linking won't do -you have to establish social & professional connections in deep sense ; then it may do or serve better than other modes .”



Lauren Leeman (Project Manager and Events Manager--PRINCE2 Practitioner)
“Just asked a similar question to a LinkedIn contact whom I met at a networking group. In person connections are ideal. I'm on the prowl as well and I find that most listings on job boards and even some LinkedIn job postings are very boilerplate.”



Rick Price, MBA, MPA, PMP, CSM [Building high performing BPO/digital design teams in Manila, Philippines (rickpricesf@gmail.com)]
“Networking face to face and keep in mind the 80/20 rule for getting new customers.”

“in my humble opinion, personal relation is the best way to find a job .”



Hafiz Abuelyamen (Member of the Committee to measure and evaluate projects for f Zakat Chamber in Sudan)
“My advice is to consider LinkedIn as a good way to seek a new role than to search a job.. The Two are positive points.. Seeking a a new role by acquiring professional ideas and sharing experience benefiting from trials exchange, that represent strength to every member. Seeking a job comes as opportunity that members may gained from LinkedIn..”



Steve Smith (Vice Principal at Belfairs Academy)
“As an experienced professional looking to move in to Project Management, I agree that social networking sites cannot replace personal connections. Lou Adler gives some great advice in his post that echoes the sentiments of most contributors.
https://www./15-odd-ball-ideas-getting-better-job-lou-adler”



Bjarne M. Virenfeldt (Managing Director)
“I prefer vacancies publicized through LinkedIn.
Also I of course agree that social networking cannot replace personal connections - but unfortunately we can't all have the same and right connections? So we need the social networking in order to move forward.

Still - and broadening the discussion a bit - LinkedIn is only distributing "the News" not communicating or discussing the real and relevant messages (about vacancies). This is entirely up to the persons/companies put in charge of recruiting personnel. And here I think we have an issue of real interest.

The job market is flooded with thousands(?) of very poor job-descriptions (either providing to little or too much relevant information) often leaving it up the the applicant to guess what exactly is required in respect of specific experience and qualifications (does the offered title/position and specified responsibilities closely match the job-description etc.)

I would humbly request the recruiters to become as conscious and critical to that part of their jobs which concern writing the job vacancies as they must be when considering the applicants applications and qualifications.

When this balance is found, I strongly believe that an extended professional and relevant discussion between net-workers/professionals (in our discussion, recruiters, employers and applicants) could take place on LinkedIn aiming on getting to know and better understand each other.”




François Chabanne (Deputy manager at GESER BEST)
“Hi,
LinkedIn is obviously a good way to be known and is done to be used as a professional network.

It's, of course, not a job board and it doesn't pretend to replace them.
For my share, I already got some contracts through some of my LinkedIn contacts.
So, the way you use LinkedIn induces your results.

Nor more nor less.
Kindly yours
François Chabanne”




Paul Anderson PhD, Electronics – Freelance (P.M. Consultant, Hands-on Product Designer -- Electronics / Wireless / Optical / Medical / FPGA / systems / much more)
“My own advice, but does require "effort" - build up a contacts list - go around the job ads you do see and make a note of the company and a name or two - talk to them and find out what skills they are short on and then get a good CV into their in-box and then do a follow up - make sure you are the person they would talk to first - this can be difficult and does require effort but it does pay off done well you need never be out of work

Linked-in can also provide contacts - however, like other BBs many people see the requirement so you are competeing with the many

For me linked-in has provided contact with many smaller companies / people needing expertise but cannot afford the "big guys" - which from my side is actually more interesting than just getting the next position .....

This kind of approach works well if you can offer something "a bit special" ... but in the end you need to clearly define what you can offer that makes you "special" and get a head start on your peers”



Nikos Rentas, PMP, OCT, BSc, Bed (Audience Cultivator, Business Strategist, Project Manager, and community developer)
“Social networking is face to face online. Face to face brings u opportunity. That's relationship building. Problem is that once people get a job they forget about their connections. Kinda like when your best friend gets a girlfriend he forgets about you.

Then when they break up, hey shoe up again... If you don't have a good relationship building practice develop one. LinkedIn without relationship is like a job post website. You are just applying and maybe u get the lucky one. I attribute my network to much of my success. Contacts always refer me and I refer them. Business grows this way. If you are looking for a job it is the same thing. I can't really introduce you to a CEO or a hiring manager if I don't know u and have a relationship of some sort with you... Goes for anyone out there... You keep working at it to find the right contacts who will open doors with u!”



I got this from here;

mycvclinic:
...................
ii. Create your resume (paper & digital)
Haven discovered your focus, the task of creating your CV gets more meaningful and doable. A CV simply portrays your focus (interest, skills, abilities, aspirations). When preparing a CV, do not restrict yourself to the regular paper version. Create a profile for yourself on the career pages of companies, social media (LinkedIn, Facebook and even Twitter). I know people have gotten jobs just from how intelligent/smart they come across from their tweets. Recruiters these days headhunt and are no longer depending strictly on the job adverts they put out. Last week my colleague sent me a LinkedIn profile asking me to contact the lady to see if she was a right fit for a position we were trying to create and she has gotten the job just like that. Try different things and don't restrict yourself to your paper resume and job adverts.
Also, ensure your digital/social resume speaks good about you. A lot of us carry on very recklessly online and unknown to us, recruiters do a background check of us online. The views and photos you share online, do they put you in a good light?

- Please, have you been able to secure a job via this platform, or should I say a job interview?

- What is/are you reason(s) of joining LinkedIn? Nice to join?



Here are my deductions after puzzling over this matter;

- LinkedIn is a site where Resumes are uploaded to tell the world how many certificates, qualifications, and what-have-you you possess

- I doubt if job can be secured via this platform. You can convince me.

- A site where one connects with others professionally or socially irrespective of whosoever.

- One making connections in order to establish 500+ contacts. A Don!

- Asking friends to endorse and recommend you to boost your Resume.


I joined related and partially related professional groups to read or contribute on found-interesting topic of discussion. Other activities are secondary and tertiary. But that 500+ connections in view as well.

[b]I, also do by attaching my linkedin link to my Resume. You should do as well. Better packaging

Here is my linkedin page, [/b]

I had an analogue meter which I had been using for a few years, it even had debt on it and gradually over the years, I paid off the bills.
Then this NEPA guys were mandated to change all our meters to prepaid, so the meters all over that area were removed. It was when the meter was free. They installed it and made us clear up our old bills before we were connected.
It was supposed to be registered with our details, but when the bills started coming, it bore the my next door neighbours name, but we didn't mind, after all, na 'we we'... then suddenly it started bearing one Hausa name!
I went to report at the office, they asked me to write a change of name letter, I did and it was changed to my Landlords name. That's when the AUX1 started and never looked back.
When they printed out my statement of account from wuse zone 6, that was when the staff told me that my analogue bill and my prepaid bill bore different names and addresses.

I will get across to you later.

let me forward ur issue with the screenshots of ur explanation to a more worthy staff.

So this 15K is only related to the pre-paid meter, but the analogue meter.


-------------------------------

From my experience, it will be difficult to go through this procedure successfully if these questions are not still positively answered.

" - Were you directed to the bank to pay in for the meter or
one if the officials just sold it out to you?

-Was the meter registered with your details?

- It is pre-paid meter or the old version?"

But let's see how we can squeeze the square peg into the hole.

tchidi:
Yes Sir, I am.

I was able to contact a boss at Zone 4. He said there should be solution if you can present the meter teller of purchase.

Let's start from here Ma,

- Were you directed to the bank to pay in for the meter or one if the officials just sold it out to you?

-Was the meter registered with your details?

- It is pre-paid meter or the old version?



Believe me, getting reimbursed won't be an issue if answers to those questions are positive.

Otherwise, the company sees you as the owner of the meter irrespective of number of users.

I had to make sure the landlord cleared the outstanding bill on the meter before I packed into the apartment here.

I am being billed and I pay in the name of the landlord up to this day.

tchidi:
But I have. I was then directed to wuse 2 that was when they discovered the mix up. I was then asked to go to Nyanya Gwandara, and those people ehn..
Can you help? Is it possible to get a refund?

please, I will get back to you shortly.


are you really keen on getting reimbursed.

tchidi:
You owe me 15k...
I have been charged AUX1 for 1 year now, when I got tired of complaining to the office near me, I went to wuse 2 and they found out that during meter connection, I was given a wrong meter and I've been paying the Man's bill..
Tell me why I shouldn't throw juju there?
I asked for it to be stopped that it's not my account, they refused said it was left with 1900, I should just pay up. I have, oya pay me back my money and go find the original debtor, no way!

I am going to report you people to NERC.

I am sorry about the whole mix up.

This has been one of the main issues the Company is facing as a result of junior staff selling out meters without proper configuration and registration.

Please, endeavour to complain at the headquarters at Wuse, Zone 4.

Sorry for the inconvenience Ma.



abeg never report us, neither do us juju o.

So why say he went to UI if you don't know that to be a fact?
Why say he is a Vice-Chancellor when he is NOT by the way it is a private university not FEDERAL and it belongs to him.
What is " Nigeria Primary Education Clearly YOU are a BENEFIARY but I doubt that he is

I don't know what you mean by "better" but you come across as one you pronounces on things without knowledge. This is an egregious habit which you should eschew

I must have inflated your ego for having civilly responded to your question in the first place. An irreversible action.

My absentmindedness and displeasure did give you a field day.... Enjoy it while it lasts.

Nigeria Primary Education is what it is. You can find out which of the primary schools it was.

It's okay if you "doubt", but not certain if he a "benefiary".

If yet to get the inkling, I meant to type pro-chancellor. My mistake.

You should have said I am stupid instead of 'not being knowledgeable of things'. The former simplifies more.


Learn to make use of your comnma. I almost turned Eminem. It is who, not "you".



Here is my conclusion, you have something in common with I-am-not-chief-but-are Afe Babalola. Go figure it out.


God bless you, and sweet night rest.
It has been my pleasure.

omonnakoda:
Who said he went to UI

I couldn't ascertain if he did attend or not, but a benefiary of Nigeria Primary Education, and as vice chancellor of prestigious Federal University should know and do better.

Thanks for calling my attention and sending me to confirm what I heard from the grapevine.

Nigerian Priest Jailed For 8 Months In The UK For Sexual
Assault (Pictured) by lalasticlala

Aprime:
Everything adds up perfectly.

See, most sex offenders get violent and bloody when their victims put in a stronger resistance. I think she was right to play weak aka co-operating. Had it been she pushed in a more violent or explosive effort in trying to leave, maybe we'd be reading a murder story now.
