For some people especially in Nigeria, job title is very important. They believe this is what will show on their call cards and/or e-mail signature and will help them command respect from the external people. They do not care what the job functions/responsibilities are.

While job title might be necessary to consider when applying for a new job, some people prefer to look at the size of the role, the indusrty and possible opportunities that come with the job.

Which one should take priority when appplying for a new job?

phemmyjohnson: Fashola!!!
May you live long!!
You'all tell me,
Who among the PDP governors has performed in his states like Fashola transformed Lagos??
This is a man other govs envy,
I don't know how pipu can be blinded by conspiracies and criticism.
We all shout "Tinubu" won't let APC governed states rest
Buh can you all compare APC states with the retrogressives called PDP??
Under that same "god fatherism"; APC controlled states are performing better than those pipu who have been in power for many years but got nothing to show for it..
PDP getting Lagos back soon??
#IdonThinkSo

thank you jare

chiefinalowo: Even if Fashola declares free education in LASU, PDP will still defeat APC in Lagos State 2015 gubernatorial election.

as if he has a PVC

let me even ask you which of your so called pdp governors outperformed Fashola?

don't mind the moderator. He would have listed the 2 topics on the front page

tpia1: i once started a thread to ask why nlers always open silly "what if" scenarios.

I don't understand you

She is a Nurse in one of the teaching hospitals in Lagos. she discovered she was charged to resume night duty the week her Child is 6 months.

The challenge is where and how to take care for the baby at night when the mother is away on duty. All options seem to have been exhausted without a step to take:

1. The baby should be with the hubby at home. The challenge with this option is that the hubby's place of work is on the island and they stay on the mainland. He joins staff bus that usually leaves the office at 5:45 to 6 PM and doesn't get home until 8pm. Her resumption time is 7pm. she won't be able to leave home until hubby returns and the same thing happens in the morning. hubby needs to join the bus at 7 am and she might not be at home until 9 am. apart from this, the child sucks at night.

2. Engage a Nanny. No go area. where would the nanny be sleeping?

3. Invite a family member. All young family members are occupied and older ones (aged) don't want to stay in Lagos cos they would be the only one at home when everybody has gone to work (boredom)

3. Go to work with the baby. what happens when the baby is crying in the changing room and the mother is attending to a dying patient (this is extreme though) but the need to check on her baby everytime would not allow her concentrate on her job?

4. Appeal to the unit head who prepared the roster. The woman did not agree. she said they are short staffed.

5. She should resign. No go area. she supports the family financially

experienced couples... how have you managed situation like this?

whaooo!!! even me, I've learnt a lot on this thread. Thank you all for your time and those invaluable piece of information

cheers

Do we still follow this adage? is this adage really true? If yes, is it by flogging a child for every mistake or every wrong doing against parents' instruction?

If this adage is not applicable today, how do you discipline a stubborn child?

If you adopt this adage; how often do you use koboko, cane, belt, hand or discipline him like frog jump, press up, etc

or only a good relationship betwee the parent and the child is enough to train today's child.

Please your opinion counts and would help somebody manage his home

This is very strange to him. The little boy wrote it in his play book and showed it to his dad.

The guy is worried cos he only talked to the little boy for doing a wrong thing. He's getting more worried cos he did not expect such a thing from a little boy like him and doesn't even know how to appease the boy.

I have decided to post it so we can all learn from people's advice

Have you registered your car? August 1st is very close. Don't allow these officials harass you

When we were little, we had different ambitions or what we would like to become in future. I could remember I (as a young village boy who knew nothing about life) told my teacher that l would like to become a tailor (fashion designer I meant) cos I had a cousin who was a tailor and based in the city.

Whenever he made cloth for us, we were always the talk of the village cos of the style while other children's clothes were made by village tailors who knewnothing about the trend in the fashion world. One style Icould remember he made for us was GARBBAGE style.

Today, I am on a different line of profession.

What did you want to be when you grew up? Is that the
same thing you are doing today? I am sure some of us
wanted to become Pilots, Medical Doctors, Lawyers,
Engineers etc. Let's hear you out!

It depends on some factors like:

1. The situation that surrounds the death of the person
2. Your relationship with your spouse family
3. The type of bond that existed between the 2 of you

An elderly man, who lost her daughter, once shared his ordeal with me. The daughter and her hubby lived in the UK with their kids. few months after the death of the lady, her family travelled from Nigeria to pay the man a condolence visit and they met another woman. They immediately made a fresh arrangements to relocate from the house.

He curses the man every time that he killed his daughter cos he wanted to bring in another woman. that might not be true you know

Another scenario is that the deceased father told the living spouse only 21 days after the death of the wife that we know you loved your wife, the incident has happened, just move on with your life and find a new solace. We will say this is a good advice cos it didn't happen to us. hmmmn

I think we should give some time before going into another marriage. No specific time though but and reasonable time. The deceased family lost a child, a family member. Their feelings need to be respected.

They do no have any say over the kids but some families might request you allow the kids stay with them while you sponsor their programs. If this is the case and you don't have an alternative like ur mum or a family member will be with you to take care of then, then you will have to allow that and plan how to return them later

The Federal Road Safety Commission ( FRSC ) on Tuesday
said it would begin enforcement of the new drivers ’
licence and number plate on 1 August.

The Lagos State Sector Commander, Chidi Nkwonta , told
NAN that the decision followed the new court judgment .
“ This new judgment made it very clear that as from Aug.
1 , FRSC should impound.

“ So, Nigerians must discountenance that first misleading
judgment and take this one because we are going to
continue enforcement as from 1 August 2014.

“ We never asked anybody to stop ( processing licences ) .
Anybody who stopped ab initio stopped at his own peril .
Neither did the court ask anybody to stop , that judgment
never said anybody should

“ So anybody who did so did it at his own risk and the
deadline was supposed to be 30 June . Now we have
extended it to 1 August, because we needed to go on
appeal on the other matter .

“ But right now , there is another judgment which says we
can go on . So , while we are still waiting for the appeal we
are going to go on with this other judgment . ”
NAN reports that Justice Peter Umeadi of a Federal High
Court in Anambra on 30 June , had ruled in a suit filed by
Chief Ajefo Ekwo challenging FRSC ’ s powers to enforce
new drivers’ licence and number plate .

Umeadi said that the respondent’ s directive to change old
drivers ’ licence and number plates to new was legal , valid ,
subsisting and in conformity with the FRSC ’ s 2007 Act
and the National Road Traffic Regulations of 2012 .

Nkwonta , however , said that the recent judgment had put
aside the earlier judgment of the Lagos High Court ruling
that the corps had no authority to produce and fix deadline
for the documents .

The FRSC commander said that the earlier judgment was
given in error and the commission would stand by the new
judgment while appealing against the earlier judgment .
He said that the command had not failed to process the
vehicle documents for new applicants that patronised the
commission after the initial judgment .

Nkwonta said that all the registration centres and 18
additional work stations in all parts of Lagos were
functional and the network was effective .
He said that the commission had improved in the
processes as well as working at weekends to make it
easy for applicants .

NAN recalled that Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High
Court in Lagos on March 26 declared that the FRSC had
no legal authority to impose new number plates on
motorists in the country .

The judge also held that “ the ongoing exercise by the
FRSC to replace the old number plate with a new one is
illegal and unconstitutional because there is no law
empowering it to carry out the exercise . ”
Justice Tsoho delivered the judgment in a suit filed by a
Lagos- based lawyer , Emmanuel Ofoegbu, against the
FRSC .

In the suit , Ofoegbu had challenged the power of the
commission to impound vehicles of motorists who failed
to acquire the new number plates .
The plaintiff argued that there was no law validly made in
accordance with the constitution prohibiting the use of the
old number plates .

Meanwhile , Justice Umeadi declared that FRSC has power
to impound any vehicle which fails to register for a new
number plate and arrest any motorist who fails to obtain
the new drivers’ licence

He said that such offender should be prosecuted
according to law as from 1 August .

Shegman22: Inspite of the counsel below,
Mr. Ogbeni is still calling workers "Olori buruku"
in
an open air campaign in Ikirun; brocast live on
TV
&
Radio 24/6/14. This is unfortunate!!!.
It is high time ALL workers are sensitise thru
their
various unions that they are not "Olori buruku".
ANY
WORKER or his acquitances that vote for
Ogbeni
has accepted that name calling.
There are no doubts that you've got good
achievement in terms of infrastructural
development
but U need to be more diplomatic (or
democratic)
and I believed that lack of enough of this made
Dr
Fayemi to lose his re-election bid. Listen to
people's
voice! You are running a democratic government
but not military. The roads, etc you constructed
wont go to polling stations. The people will!
That
was what chased Akande out of Abere despite
that
he was the best governor that Oyo and Osun
ever
had after Bola Ige. The same fate has befallen
Dr
Fayemi. Treat workers with respect and as
nicely
as
possible and achievable. Workers have
exponential
votes. 20,000 workers are sufficient to vote you
out
because each worker has, at least, 6 dependants
(children, parents, g.parents, etc). This is
equivalent
to losing 120,000 votes from workers alone.
That
exactly was what ruined Fayemi ... ....BE
WARNED!

Immediate past Governor of the Central Bank and the Emir
of Kano, Mohammed Sanusi II, today formally withdrew
his lawsuit challenging his removal as the governor of the
Apex Bank.

His lawyer, Abubakar Mahmoud, told the National
Industrial Court that Mr Sanusi who is now the Emir of
Kano wishes to withdraw his case against President
Goodluck Jonathan and two other defendants in the suit.

Counsel to the Federal Government, Mike Ozekhome, said
they would not oppose the withdrawal but would wait till
the other two cases by Sanusi pending at the Appeal Court
and Federal High Court, are with drawn before he would
advise his clients.

The defendants did not oppose the request and the
president of the court, Justice Babatunde Adejumo struck
out the suit.

Hearing was expected to continue in the suit, but the Emir
requested that the suit be discontinued.

The Federal Government on its part asked that the court
should hear its motion challenging the ruling of the Federal
High Court which declined jurisdiction in the suit but went
ahead to transfer the case to the National Industrial Court

It was announced this evening that Senate has rejected a proposal by INEC to make presidential debates mandatory during elections

This came as a surprise as i do not know how they want Nigerians decide who will lead them. is it going to be based on who can share more rice or spend more money, or is the process undemocratic?

Read below:

THE Senate, on Thursday, rejected the proposal
which seeks to compel the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) to make presidential
debates mandatory during elections.
The lawmakers rejected the bid during the debate on
the amendments to the Electoral Act 2010, on
Thursday.

The proposal, which was contained in the report of
the Senate Committees on the Review of the 1999
Constitution and the INEC, however, approved the
proposal seeking to fix the tenure of INEC
commissioner

The senators also rejected the bid to have all
national elections held on one day, while they also
rejected the proposal seeking to shift the burden of
proof of electoral irregularities on INEC during
election petitions.

The Senate said the burden of proof of electoral
irregularities during election should be on the
petitioner.

Other proposals rejected by the senators included
that seeking to empower INEC to conduct elections
into the office of the president, governor, Senate,
House of Representatives and state assemblies on
the same day, as well as the proposal seeking to
empower INEC to exclude nominees of a candidate
from elections where a political party fails to comply
with the provisions of the Constitution or Electoral

While interviewing Indra K. Nooyi, the CEO of
PepsiCo, at the Aspen Ideas Festival Monday*, David
Bradley, who owns The Atlantic, asked two questions
that elicited as frank a discussion of work-life
balance as I've seen from a U.S. CEO. Below is a
lightly edited transcript. The second question was
preceded by a brief discussion of Anne-Marie
Slaughter's " Why Women Still Can't Have It All ."

Q. You come home one day as president

of the company, just appointed, and your
mom is not that impressed. Would you tell
that story?

This is about 14 years ago. I was working in
the office. I work very late, and we were in
the middle of the Quaker Oats acquisition.
And I got a call about 9:30 in the night from
the existing chairman and CEO at that time.
He said, Indra, we're going to announce you
as president and put you on the board of
directors ... I was overwhelmed, because
look at my background and where I came
from — to be president of an iconic
American company and to be on the board
of directors, I thought something special had
happened to me.

So rather than stay and work until midnight
which I normally would've done because I
had so much work to do, I decided to go
home and share the good news with my
family. I got home about 10, got into the
garage, and my mother was waiting at the
top of the stairs. And I said, "Mom, I've got
great news for you." She said, "let the news
wait. Can you go out and get some milk?"
I looked in the garage and it looked like my
husband was home. I said, "what time did he
get home?" She said "8 o'clock." I said, "Why
didn't you ask him to buy the milk?" "He's
tired." Okay. We have a couple of help at
home, "why didn't you ask them to get the
milk?" She said, "I forgot." She said just get
the milk. We need it for the morning. So like
a dutiful daughter, I went out and got the
milk and came back.

I banged it on the counter and I said, "I had
great news for you. I've just been told that
I'm going to be president on the Board of
Directors. And all that you want me to do is
go out and get the milk, what kind of a mom
are you?"

And she said to me, "let me explain
something to you. You might be president of
PepsiCo. You might be on the board of
directors. But when you enter this house,
you're the wife, you're the daughter, you're
the daughter-in-law, you're the mother.
You're all of that. Nobody else can take that
place. So leave that damned crown in the
garage. And don't bring it into the house.
You know I've never seen that crown."

Q. What's your opinion about whether
women can have it all?

I don't think women can have it all. I just
don't think so. We pretend we have it all. We
pretend we can have it all. My husband and I
have been married for 34 years. And we
have two daughters. And every day you have
to make a decision about whether you are
going to be a wife or a mother, in fact many
times during the day you have to make those
decisions. And you have to co-opt a lot of
people to help you. We co-opted our families
to help us. We plan our lives meticulously so
we can be decent parents. But if you ask our
daughters, I'm not sure they will say that
I've been a good mom. I'm not sure. And I
try all kinds of coping mechanisms.
I'll tell you a story that happened when my
daughter went to Catholic school. Every
Wednesday morning they had class coffee
with the mothers. Class coffee for a working
woman — how is it going to work? How am
I going to take off 9 o'clock on Wednesday
mornings? So I missed most class coffees. My
daughter would come home and she would
list off all the mothers that were there and
say, "You were not there, mom."

The first few times I would die with guilt.
But I developed coping mechanisms. I called
the school and I said, "give me a list of
mothers that are not there." So when she
came home in the evening she said, "You
were not there, you were not there."
And I said, "ah ha, Mrs. Redd wasn't there,
Mrs. So and So wasn't there. So I'm not the
only bad mother."

You know, you have to cope, because you die
with guilt. You just die with guilt. My
observation, David, is that the biological
clock and the career clock are in total
conflict with each other. Total, complete
conflict. When you have to have kids you
have to build your career. Just as you're
rising to middle management your kids need
you because they're teenagers, they need you
for the teenage years.

And that's the time your husband becomes a
teenager too, so he needs you (laughing).
They need you too. What do you do? And as
you grow even more, your parents need you
because they're aging. So we're screwed. We
have no ... we cannot have it all. Do you
know what? Coping mechanisms. Train
people at work. Train your family to be your
extended family.

You know what? When I'm in PepsiCo I
travel a lot, and when my kids were tiny,
especially my second one, we had strict rules
on playing Nintendo. She'd call the office,
and she didn't care if I was in China, Japan,
India, wherever. She'd call the office, the
receptionist would pick up the phone, "Can I
speak to my mommy?" Everybody knows if
somebody says, 'Can I speak to mommy?' It's
my daughter. So she'd say, "Yes, Tyra, what
can I do for you?"

"I want to play Nintendo."

So she has a set of questions. "Have you
finished your homework?" Etc. I say this
because that's what it takes. She goes
through the questions and she says, "Okay,
you can play Nintendo half an hour." Then
she leaves me a message. "Tyra called at 5.
This is the sequence of questions I went
through. I've given her permission." So it's
seamless parenting.

But if you don't do that, I'm serious, if you
don't develop mechanisms with your
secretaries, with the extended office, with
everybody around you, it cannot work. You
know, stay at home mothering was a full
time job. Being a CEO for a company is three
full time jobs rolled into one. How can you
do justice to all?

You can't. The person who hurts the most
through this whole thing is your spouse.
There's no question about it. You know, Raj
always said, you know what, your list is
PepsiCo, PepsiCo, PepsiCo, our two kids, your
mom, and then at the bottom of the list is
me. There are two ways to look at it.
(laughing) You should be happy you're on
the list. So don't complain. (laughing) He is
on the list. He is very much on the list. But
you know, (laughing) sorry, David.

We observed that our security agents are indeed working very hard to put an end to this madness in the of terrorism, the problem is that the prize is too big: innocent people are dying everyday. Sad!

Anyway, there is good news:

A terrorists’ intelligence cell headed by a businessman who participated actively in the abduction of School Girls in Chibok has been busted by troops.The man, Babuji Ya’ari who is also a member of the Youth Vigilante Group popularly known as Civilian JTF which he uses as cover while remaining an active terrorist, also spearheaded the murder of the Emir of Gwoza. His main role in the group is to spy and gather information for the terrorists group.

Babuji has been coordinating several deadly attacks in Maiduguri since 2011, including the daring attacks on Customs and military locations as well as the planting of IEDs in several locations in the town.

The arrest of the businessman who is known to deal in tricycles has also yielded some vital information and facilitated the arrest of other members of the terrorists’ intelligence cell who are women. One of them, Hafsat Bako had earlier escaped to Gombe State to avoid suspicion but was tracked and arrested.

Prior to her arrest, Hafsat coordinated the payment of other operatives on the payroll of the group.
In her confession, she disclosed that a minimum of N10,000 is paid to each operative depending on the enormity of his task.

Another female suspect named Haj Kaka who doubles as an armourer and a spy for the terrorists group has also been arrested. Until their arrest, the suspects actively operated a terrorists’ intelligence cell in collaboration with others still at large.

In another development, troops deployed in Goniri, Yobe State, over the weekend, had an encounter with the terrorists, resulting in casualties on both sides after the attack was successfully repelled.

they should also return everything they have acquired using the certificate... money - kept and spent, wealth acquired etc

I have been thinking of this for some time now. Since 1914 that Nigeria was pronounced by Flora Shaw, nothing much seems to work. It is not that God has not blessed us with what we require to make things work. In fact, Nigeria to me, is one of the blessed countires in the world in terms of natural resources, talents etc but we can not still make things happen.

We have heard of men of God in the past that were commanded to change their names and things turned around for them and some were also commanded to relocate and their calls were delivered.

Unfortunately for this country, Flora Shaw was a sinner (a concubine to Lord Luggard) at the time she gave us the name.

I am just thinking may be if we consider changing the name, we might get it right.

Thank you

Please I need an advice on the process of demolishing building in Lagos State. I was told that one needs to get a clearance from the state Govt. but dont know which ministry is in charge of this.

The councillorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the last Saturday’s rerun in Offa Local Government Area of Kwara State, Hadji Jimoh Afolabi, has rejected his declaration as the winner of election in his ward by State Independent Electoral Commission (KWSIEC). He confessed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate won in his ward.

Hadji Jimoh, a young politician said during his emotion laden confession that he remains a loyal member of the PDP, but being a Muslim and a faithful Offa indigene, he would not claim the victory he did not win. Jimoh, contested the Shawo Southwest Offa seat, said the Electoral Commission must have declared him the winner in error. “In all the eight polling units in my ward (Shawo Southwest) the PDP lost, while the APC won convincingly in all the polling units in the rerun on August 31, 2013. I know well that the town stands for equity and justice. I know that we shall give account of all our actions on this earth one day.

On the PDP allegation that he is not a member of the PDP and not the candidate of the PDP in the rerun, he challenged the Party to bring forth another candidate known to the community and to KWSIEC. He said: “I remain the authentic candidate of the PDP for Shawo Southwest Ward. I make bold to say that in all the eight polling units in my ward, the PDP lost that day.

Hadji Afolabi is described by Mr. Sunday Alagbe, a mechanic in Shawo, as an easy going Alfa. Further investigation show that Jimoh is a member of the Tebleeg Islamic Movement a normadic preaching group. Jimoh during his press conference further said “As a native of this town, I don’t wish my town a bad thing. If something like this continues to happen and we decide to cover it up for one reason or the other, if not now, in the future we will account for everything. “It is very good for us to call a spade a spade anywhere we see it. By doing this, you are helping yourself and others. In the interest of peace and justice in Offa and Kwara State, KWSIEC should release the authentic results of last Saturday’s local government poll in Offa.

Meanwhile, the main opposition party in the rerun election has urged President Goodluck Jonathan; the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Abubakar and the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega, to prevail on KWSIEC to release the authentic result of the rerun.

The APC during their press conference asserted that “The people of Offa have said that they don’t want the PDP. It is clear that Offa people want the APC. The election is a test for both the APC and the PDP. It was a test for the PDP people to correct the wrongs they have been doing, which made the people to hate them. For the APC that won, it should check itself and examine what it has been doing that makes it acceptable in Offa.” Jimoh’s confession gives the lie to the election results the KWSIEC announced on the state radio.

The APC chairmanship candidate, Saheed Popoola, yesterday said the announcement of the PDP candidate as the winner was laughable, unjust and dangerous to democracy. Addressing reporters in Offa, Popoola urged well-meaning Nigerians, including President Jonathan, the IGP and Prof Jega to prevail on KWSIEC to upturn its injustice. He said the authentic results, which were obtained from the collation centres, be declared in the interest of peace, justice and progress.

Popoola said: “The people of Offa Local Government, last Saturday, unequivocally decided that I, Saheed Popoola of the APC, is their choice. This choice must be respected, and we stand before God and man to declare that we stand by this choice.

“We are going to do everything possible within the ambit of the law to retrieve this mandate and exercise it to the benefit of the people of Offa. We shall not rest or tire until the people’s choice is sworn in.” Popoola said the party had petitioned Radio Kwara for breaking the National Broadcasting Corporation’s (NBC’s) code. “Already, we have petitioned Radio Kwara for breaking NBC’s rules. The guideline is here on the conduct of the announcement of result of election. Also, we have petitioned the INEC over the conduct of the KWSIEC officials, who have turned themselves to be agents of the PDP. We could not identify the difference between KWSIEC and the PDP. We discovered that Dr Uthman Ajidagba is a card-carrying member of the PDP. We have petitioned them. Already, we are in the Court of Appeal.

“There was a case that was going on before the election and there was a ruling last Friday. We are already in the Court of Appeal. By the grace of God, we are going to send them out of that place.
