Jakumo: This has to be a joke, right ? Is he really not just a common thief being "paraded" by the police, with the car pats he stole ?

babeline: I was asked by my interviewers ( 2 female young women with horrible attitudes) my position in my family. I said 2nd. Then they ask what my older one does for a living (w.t.f I'm here to talk about myself not my siblings). Then they ask me what I weigh Like that had anything to do with the job description??!!

Omexonomy: I have being saying it for a long time Remove islam from the world terrorism will die a natural death.

henryblaze25: brother, pls we nigerians should knw better. The evil forces against a unified Nigeria re playing us a tactical mind game. These cabals are f**kin smart. They jst want the gov't of jonathan to look stupid, incapable and impotent. Posterity will judge. We dey wait for 2015. It is goin to be a real show down. We ar @ war alredy, we don't jst want to admitt it. Egbami ke! Naija soldiers.. to chadian soldiers? It's incomparable. Our soldiers are dying for nothin because of sum peoples agenda. Unless God didn't create the heavens and the earth will it work. We will live to tell our unborn generation the yet to unveil saga. God is not sleeping.
Mr Man I know u are blaming Nigerian Army indirectly, do u know it is against Internation law for Nigerian Army to proceed to Republic of Chad without due approval from the Chadian Government?

The Chadian Military Military action shows the meeting between France,Nigeria,Cameroon,Niger,Chad was not a fluke because 1 of the resolutions reached was to cover the lapses of each country

Provie: desperate to debunk wat factual view! fallacy by a derailed homo- sapien like u. u r busy ranting message and messenger and at thesame time sain nofin. competing wiv an imbeccile for wat useless trophy? mayb a victim of bomb blast from ur family will make u reason like a sane person. u r sitted wherever n talkin gibbberish! come to the battle zone and ur brain will clear. i wil pay ur tfare so u com n face the devil himself in the north. didirin. negotiation after genocide! wat a way to go stupid.

Wat a desperate but failed attempt to debunk my obviously factual view of u! Ur illiteracy is so glaringly a disease. Wat else do u say of someone who is always getting mad at people for their own lack of understanding? Even for telling dem who dey are?

You want to kill urself and kill everybody over a simple point: whether or not it is better to negotiate wit BH. I repeat, if you went to school, you would know the difference between a message and a messenger.

And I can't say more than this. Not to an illiterate.

Provie: Illiteracy is a disease; much deadlier than Ebola. If you went to school, you would know the difference between a message and a messenger, especially on a volatile national issue. I don't call people b*stard.

RebelLeader15: shey unna don start again?

jdilight: heys, I am trying as much as I can to sound constructive, gosh! Ur research is jst too lame and seems to be someones opinion. Before I say anythin, wat did u study? cause this thread is gross. Don't jst garbage anyfin in n out. It wil make you look stupid.
1. History

9.5 percent unemployment rate*

They say those who don't learn history are bound to repeat it. But if you believe the Georgetown study, those who major in it could be bound for the unemployment line.

Why These Grads May Have It Tough: Sorenson says that there is little opportunity for historians in today's job market. "Historians, appraisers, preservationists, etc. These are very niche markets with highly skilled and knowledgeable individuals who are called to the scene when needed for fact-checking or accuracy, not a long-term role with a growing company in today's economy," he says.


2. Fine Arts

10.1 percent unemployment rate

If you have your heart set on a fine arts major, it might take a lot to change your mind. Still, you should be prepared for the harsh reality you might face post-graduation, since this major has a high unemployment rate, according to the Georgetown study.

Why These Grads May Have It Tough: Sorenson says that despite being very self-fulfilling this degree may not be specific enough to attract employment. "For instance, if [students] want to work in design or be a creative director, they'll need a more specific skill set such as graphic design and creative writing to be a successful ‘artist,'" he says. And if you want to be an artist, skill and your work is most important, not a degree, explains Sorenson.


3. Economics

10.4 percent unemployment rate

With all the airtime that news programs spend on the economy, you'd think this degree would be a sure thing. But you'd be wrong. Just take a look at that double digit unemployment rate found by the Georgetown study.

Why These Grads May Have It Tough: "...The education you receive [in economics] is based mostly in theory, making your knowledge difficult to apply to the real world of employment," says David Bakke, a career expert at Money Crashers, a website devoted to career and personal finance advice. For example, he says finance majors may beat you out for jobs in the world of finance; accounting majors have specific skills for accountant positions; and so on.


4. Anthropology & Archeology

12.6 percent unemployment rate

These are intellectual, fascinating, and noble degrees. Unfortunately, a diploma - not a career - might be the only treasure these majors yield after graduation judging from their high unemployment rate in the Georgetown study.

Why These Grads May Have It Tough: There is not much demand for field work, and teaching the subjects in colleges and universities demands a higher degree than a bachelor's, says Bakke. As for the general job market? "These types of degrees are considered to be too grounded in academia for them to have any real value in the business world," he says.



5. Information Systems

14.7 percent unemployment rate

We live in the Information Age, so you'd think that a major with the word "information" in it would mean a promising job outlook for its grads, right? Well, the Georgetown report found otherwise. This major had the highest unemployment rate out of all the college majors in the study.

Why These Grads May Have It Tough: "The true nature of information systems is to improve the efficiency of a business, so once the system is put into place, your services may or may not be required on a long-term basis," says Tony Sorenson, CEO of the executive and staff recruiting firm Versique Search & Consulting. As a result, there is less demand for new and lesser-experienced information systems professionals, he explains.

DRealGeesam1: My confession and apology

Dear nairalanders and everyone who have heard of the ebola Prevention "News", My name is Adesewa, I am coming out clean because what started has a joke has escalated into the unprecedented.
How it started
Yesterday i was with friend in her hostel, we were talking about this Ebola out break, when one of my friends, Funke (she introduced me to nairaland) brought the idea of Us playing a prank on our friends. The first suggestion was to tell people that aloe very could cure Ebola, but we thought it would sound too ridiculous so we forgot about it.

Later that even an idea came to me (i now regret that i did it).
I decided to send a BBM broadcast message to my friends, telling them that the Ministry of Health has asked everyone to bathe with salt and warm water and drink some of it.
I sent the message 7:08pm yesterday

Later this midnight i started getting calls and messages that i should drink salt water and bath with it.

All efforts to tell people that i was the one who started the joke failed. Only my friends who i mentioned earlier believed me. Even my mum could me this morning, i did not know what to tell her.

I am using this medium to beg you all to warn and tell everyone, before they drink salt and damage their health.

Please dont be hash on me. I know this has gone out of hand. I never knew it will be this serious. Some have even added to the original message i sent.
