SportsRe: National Sports Festival: Swimming Pool Construction Starts by bigsyke: 12:29pm On Oct 25, 2024
OneCandleAway:
Actually we also need sports to encourage the youths to work hard and be focused. And through sports that can make money if the government invests in sports and renumeration winners well. Afterall if there is money to buy expensive cars for legislators, there should be money to sponsor national competitions and give participants something tangible to appreciate their efforts.

If not more people will be focused on betting and yahoo.

Look at small Jamaica producing world class sprinters, while the giant if africa with over 200 million people can't dominate even one sporting event. At least we blacks over science are known for strenght so no excuse.
Nigeria is doomed.
TravelRe: Bus Conveying Passengers Burnt To Ashes At G-hostel Abakaliki (photo) by bigsyke: 11:34am On Oct 25, 2024
Kobicove:
How is it possible that the passengers were not able to escape from the bus before it was engulfed in flames?!

Or were they shot to death before the bus was set on fire?
Sometimes these transit companies don't have separate buses for their logistics. If there is a Hazard like this, it's very hard to exit unless you are sitting beside the door, and in some cases, the driver has to come to help you to open the door. It's something I have experienced severally.

PoliticsRe: Kebbi Governor Approves ₦‎75,000 Minimum Wage, Orders Payment Within 72 Hours by bigsyke: 7:15am On Oct 24, 2024
Oghene86:
But lots of these governors did complain they couldn't pay the current 35k minimum wage how come they are even going above the federal government approved rate, so it means state workers would earn more than federal workers, or what's the federal government paying since the minimum is 70k
The thing is Nigerians don't hold their State Governor accountable. Seems the Presidency has increased the money allocated to state Governors, so they have the capacity to pay it if they want to.
PoliticsRe: Tinubu Wants Filling Stations Converted To CNG Outlets, Says Minister by bigsyke: 6:45am On Oct 24, 2024
Tinubu's tactic is to drive everyone to convert to CNG, to be able to start selling unrefined fuel out of the country, and make more money for his pocket.

When everyone is on CNG, there won't be fuel scarcity. I hope this man doesn't crumble the economy totally before he leaves office.

Dangote fuel will also be less in demand here in Nigeria.

Many companies are downsizing and nobody is talking.

RomanceRe: My New Girlfriend Is Asking For Monthly Allowance. What Should I Do? by bigsyke: 6:14pm On Oct 21, 2024
Don't train her with something you can't sustain.

What if you go out of business tomorrow?
What if you become unemployed tomorrow?

It's best you start saving as if this month end will be your last day at work or your business is going this month.

After you have saved an amount. If she's a good lady as you said, she would stay and let her be your employee. Open a business that she can sustain and which capital can't be much of a burden to you which could be as little as a shop where she sells fried stuffs like Bunz, PoffPofff, if she sew clothes let her create space for it there.

This can be 3 month accumulation of what you would have given her if you follow your simp instinct.

Let her squander it or leave you afterward because she's now independent, it's her choice.

I have come to realise recently that there is hunger in the land and most girls do what they have to do to survive but you have to be stoic about what you want.

Ask her if the relationship is exclusive (Not seeing anyone else) or casual.

That's sad. May God open up a better job opportunity for you.

No labour protection now, and they will look the other way...na was...sad....the indigenous people are not getting the jobs...this is bad.
Thank you. With the current economy, most companies that their product is doing well in the market might still need to downsize sooner or later, it's always best for one to have an exit plan just in case it happens.

Honestly, wish I can revenge and go extreme like send him back to Valhalla where all his ancestors are, but it is what it is.

Hustling hard to secure another job and round up my M. Sc. project. I'm even tired of these company work, too stressful, long hours.

Those Lebanese (Hezbollah) no get sense aswear. More Isreal missiles to their camp.
Foreign AffairsRe: Shirel Golan Dies By Suicide On 22nd Birthday. by bigsyke: 8:39am On Oct 21, 2024
It takes courage to take one's own life but it takes greater courage to live on and hope everything will be fine. May her gentle soul rest in peace.

All of you supporting Hezbollah. Do you know that 90% of Lebanese support the Hezbollah campaign? And you know the Lebanese have no conscience and hate you black?

I previously worked in a Lebanese company which I have served for 2 years. The company decided to sack my black manager and bring in a Lebanese from Lebanon to take on his role and did the same thing to other black managers.

The next thing they did was bring in more inexperienced people from Lebanese to take on our role as Supervisor. I was laid off last week.

Watch as most of those Hezbollah (Lebanese) run from their country to African Countries to take the little job we have left and this money won't circulate in our economy because they send it back to the Lebanese to fund small ammunition attacks

In a way, their war affects us.

Foreign AffairsRe: Israel’s Defense Minister To Travel To US As Part Of Preparations To Strike Iran by bigsyke: 7:29pm On Oct 07, 2024
God1000:
Lol, such wishful thinking

Iran can equally do the same, they have demonstrated that, and who knows whether they already have nuclear bomb

The difference between Iran and Israel is clear, Iran can fight israel singlehandedly, but israel cannot even fight common hamas and Hezbollah without US support and weapons
So you understand what Isreal is actually doing, check your map. They told Palestinian to evacuate, they are gradually taking lands and doing serious bombing to make it inhabitable. The land they have occupied in a year is far more realistic than the land Russia claimed to control in Ukraine

Lol. Guy abeg grin grin
I no wan laff

Day 2. Still keeping my clean record. But had to down a bottle or 2 of Trophy with my home boys after service.


Let's keep it going. Na 19 days remain.
I don't like the feeling of not being in control of my addiction
Do you know weed is far better than trophy.

The real epidemic in the country is sleep deprivation and people hardly get enough sleep through the week. Weed helps in having a good sleep.

My job is very stressful and everyone at work is looking sleep deprived these days. My weed has helped me overcome, I sleep like a baby everyday, looking fresh too.

MissOpe:
Contrary to what you might think, I don't normally do this, cos my mother and father keep their important documents in my father's drawer..However, three weeks ago, while preparing for my father's funeral, I was compelled to sort through his drawers.What I found was overwhelming ,a treasure trove of documents and memories. There were his school certificates, wedding documents from 1984, childhood photos, and shares certificates purchased years ago, now worthless. As I scanned through these documents, I couldn't help but break down in tears, strucked by the nature of life. It made me wonder, are we all just living to die?
Sadly but true, if you had a house, the rightful owner 60yrs from now might be someone who is not related to you or that child that walked pass you last week at mall.

PoliticsRe: Northerners, Stop Destroying Your Own Region by bigsyke: 10:06am On Aug 06, 2024
North is the most hit region, the south doesn't patronize the way they used to because of the economic situation, and their farmers can't go to the farm because of fear of being butchered.

You can't judge them if you are not walking in the same shoes.

My brother no resign ooo.. the management dey test you to see if you can work under pressure, abi wetin dem dey call am... You might be posted to a new branch as general manager.... Hold ya job and cut out meetings with frnds at bars.. and don't forget to stay fit and eat well...

No drop any resignation letter my son
OP thread carefully. Things are tough outside, I worked with a certain FMCG for 4 years and I resigned because it's in a remote area which made me feel trapped, with no family around, got bored, and felt my life wasn't moving. Searched for a job for another 3 months before I landed a job at a very very big company (multinational) but as a contract staff, as I was getting close to being staffed after 6 months in the job, they laid off all contract staff.

It took me another 3 months to land this job which is in the central city, now can go for my Masters and mix up with society and I am willing to resign again for a govt work which will give me less pay because I need time to go for some training in a research institute which my current place of work might not grant me.

There is a lot of uncertainty ahead of you if you are willing to take the risk. I'm 2 years into my new job, maybe if I had not left then I'd still be trapped in the village working with the formal company, and maybe I wouldn't have started my master's.

Think through, and don't make rash decisions.

Olalekanbanky1:
Govt is praying that it turns violent already. That’s where they’d come in with violence to stop the protest
Their game plan was that it would be violent in the SW, SS, and SE but they were wrong, we are wiser now, and we have our way of protesting now. We won't go to work, every company, parastaltal and private is on lockdown, and the govt will see the effect in a week.

They should have mobilized their muscle men to the north this time.
