GTB management must really take nairaland very seriously. Imagine, they deployed all their workers to register multiple names on nairaland just to sing GTB's praises. Na wa for aggressive marketing!!! grin

I'd like to know more about Lamido Sanusi. The much I know about him is related to some articles he wrote opposing sharia law. But I know very little about his management credential or risk control experience. Can any one with relevant info pls share?

Computers › Re: Are Hp Pavillons Generally Slow? by blacklion(m): 8:21pm On Aug 30, 2008
there is something known as HP bloat - google it

HP laptops are supposedly notorious for having all sort of superfluous software running all the time especially at start up and it makes booting up very slow

i had an HP pavilion dv9000 series which I replaced within a year of buying. Got a Toshiba instead. the HP would take 6-7 minutes just to boot up - it was extremely too slow

HP laptop has a lot of effizy but that's all i can say for it

I hate when people just sit behind their computers and start blabbing about "how you need to start a business". It's a great thing, but not everyone is cut out for such. I applaud people with brilliant business ideas, if you're business inclined just go on and do it!
Well said. Not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur. Some people's talent lies in management and administration. Even the greatest entrepreneurs need competent, reliable and honest staff to work for them and build up their business. Unless you want to remain at the level of one-man business.
Romance › Re: Don't You Think It Is Emotionally Safer To Stay Unmarried? by blacklion(m): 4:35pm On Jun 18, 2008

Romance › Re: Calling Your Husband Daddy by blacklion(m): 4:34pm On Jun 18, 2008
Some married couples with young kids [toddlers, pre-schoolers] may call themselves 'daddy' and 'mummy' in front of the kids so that the little ones are able to identify and get used to who exactly is daddy and who is mummy. Its usually just for a few years and does not necessarily mean that the woman is being subjected to intimidation or oppression by the hubby.

Sheesh, some of our militant feminist sistas need to take a chill pillsmiley
Career › Re: Are Female Bankers Truly Executive Prostitute? by blacklion(m): 2:56pm On Jun 11, 2008
Prince of Ponderers,

Does it occur to you that the lady banker may have struck a deal with the govt. officials to split the interest on the huge deposits? Calculate 7% interest on N10bn. Abi you've never heard of such deals? Do you know if she agreed to offer the officials unsecured loan facilities from her bank in return for the huge deposits? Is that a strange news to you as well?

Why must you always assume that every business transaction between a man and a woman must be sealed with sex?

Most of the male posters here are motivated by infantile envy into making silly and wild generalizations. Even in the UK and US, you will find most counter staff at banks are women, so what's all this hype about? One reason why banking industry worldwide is dominated by women is because banking is a personal service industry and it is a scientific fact that women are better at human relations than most men. Even in the UK and America, its the same pattern. You'll find far more women on Wall Street than you'll find on the factory floor.

I'm not a banker. I've been approached several times by female bankers from Zenith, Oceanic. Fidelity and Diamond Bank in a most professional and decent manner to open accounts, invest in IPOs or to take advantage of their bank's investment services. If I had spare cash I was not using at the time or the offer was too good to miss, I was quite happy to open account for them. If I didn't have cash to spare, I'd politely tell them too bad. I have never been offered sex by a female banker and I have never asked for or demanded sex. I cannot speak for other banks but for these four banks, I KNOW for sure that they don't hire prostitutes. I personally know loads of female bankers in both professional and social settings and I know for sure that they are not prostitutes.


BTW, it may interest the ignorant, over-sexed males on this thread to know that male bankers also have targets.

There are so many reasons [besides sugar mummy] why a man may desire a matured woman.

That a woman is above 34 does not mean that she should be called an old cow. She too is entitled to love and be loved.

Romance › Re: Married Men With Pot Bellies by blacklion(m): 8:08pm On Apr 03, 2008
Heavensnt:
I think it has alot to do with lack of exercise. Alot of men figure that since they are married to you now, they can ease up on alot of things like staying in shape. But I think that if the husband can accept the wife's body change, then we have to accept theirs. Women have to deal with pot bellies and men have to deal with sagging breasts, stretch marks, and weight gain after women have the children. And you both have to deal with wrinkled skin and gray hair when you grow old together. That's what unconditional love is all about.
Brilliant! Very well said. Indeed, you are heaven sent grin

I agree with you in toto!!!smiley
Romance › Re: Why Are Nairaland Guys Obsessed With Virginity? by blacklion(op): 5:16pm On Apr 02, 2008
@ opokonwa

na guilty conscience dey worry you? ah call your name? grin

oya, i hereby challenge you to show me even ONE thread on virginity that was started by me or even ONE post or comment on virginity in which I exhibited an obsession with virginity?

I was scrolling through the romance, sexuality and family sections and noted that there were several threads on virginity. That got me thinking about virginity and the naija male psyche and so I googled 'virginity', 'disvirgin' and 'disvirgining' and immediately noticed that it is a very hot topic on naija websites.

N ow I really want to know why because I find it difficult to believe that in this day and age, so many naija men still obsess with virginity
Romance › Re: Why Are Nairaland Guys Obsessed With Virginity? by blacklion(op): 3:38pm On Apr 02, 2008
yes indeed, not all, thank goodness e.g. moi grin

but i did say 'so many guys" and not "all" -

BTW, did u try the Google thing? At least 3-4 of the results were threads from nairaland
Romance › Re: Married Men With Pot Bellies by blacklion(m): 3:36pm On Apr 02, 2008
its good food [home cooking], peace of mind, too much booze and lack of exercise. nothing to do with sex




on the other hand, scientists say sex is a very good exercise - so if you give your hubby a good, hard and vigorous shagging twice a day, he should remain fit and trim grin
Romance › Why Are Nairaland Guys Obsessed With Virginity? by blacklion(op): 3:32pm On Apr 02, 2008
Yes, its yet another virginity thread, grin


Folks, was just wondering why so many guys here appear to be obsessed with disvirgining babes and then I got a funny idea which you can try.

Google the word 'disvirgining' and guess what, huhhuh??





The first ten results are from naija websites!


Now what does that say about naija men?


My brothers, pls make una give virgin or no virgin matter a much needed rest. Thank you!
