The thing pain me wella. I intend to resign soon.

It more painful, cos someone in the management who picked a liking for me when i applied to work there was eyeing me when i mentioned the amount.

Atimes when you are really good at your job with little pay, you might become detached from what you SHOULD be getting for the job you do . It is like coming out of an abusive environment .

A little research is good before interview . Someone dear to me asked for almost times 3 of what her former employer was paying her and the new organization quickly agreed . All because she researched the company before hand

With the deed already done , do your probation period and ask for an increase once they have seen what you can do .

PS- the company too no try . Their HR department needs to be flogged . There are industry standards that should be followed . You can’t pay someone such and expect them not to find out later and it always leads to job dissatisfaction and most times resignation thereby wasting the company’s time and resources. Stop ASKING stupid questions about how much they want to be paid !. Pay people fairly based on company and industry salary standard for those positions !

Dude spoke his mind


It's what it is.
Mikel remains a legend in the history of football as an African.

Really? Mikel ? He was good in his days no doubt . But calling him a legend ? Naaa

Project that was started and almost completed during Jonathan is what this one is crying about . the design is more than 10 years old and almost completed in 2015. So what is he yapping about ? He should just deliver and go . Too much unnecessary talk

fergie001:

So can we say that the lower courts don’t know what they are doing or they are fantastically corrupt ? Because how can tribunal and Appeal courts say one thing and Supreme Court says another . Is the law so vague that it will take 3 levels of court to find justice ? It is so sad where we are as a country

I relate 100 percent with what he said .


Ladies and gentlemen , believe in you and your God only . I have learnt to trust in God only . People will disappoint you badly if you trust people . And the greatest business blessings in my life were by people I never knew before and they never stressed me .

Keep doing you and have faith that God will always raise helpers .

Aiyedatiwa should sack the woman unless he has a guaranteed ticket promise from Tinubu.

We just have spineless men all around . If Tinubu was spineless with Obasanjo , will he be president today ?

Take the risk ! Fire her and scatter everywhere . If they don’t give him ticket , let him work against APC in the elections . Wike worked against PDP and he is a minister today .

starstaz:


Conflict of interest is at play here. Inside Job contract, by the way ,are u aware of this job proposition or a slight peek. Who told you a common man like me is not interested in this kind of contract provided it is Legitimate. If you think there is nothing wrong for a sitting Minister in a govt to deep his hand in a dirty scandal like this, so be it. We see things from different angle.

It was a consultancy job , his company was taken alongside many others . I can’t say he didn’t influence it . Also conflict of interest arises if the company gets jobs in his own ministry . Just like Obi and the brewery saga. ( all politicians are the same )

starstaz:
Tunji Ojo Too. All this young men and Ladies politicians are seriously sick in their forehead's. How can you, early,play the card of desperados in the cult of kleptomaniac in a society where everyone is projected to be Hungry and Angry. And why should you compromise standards. Since you know how to collect contract , why join them in their cult war on the table. U fall hand Egbon!

I don’t understand this rant . So you can’t have a business and go into politics ? You must give it all up because you want to serve the country ? Come on . What he has done is the standard anywhere in the world . Even Trump did that . So please cut that gentleman some slack

I still don’t like Tinubu . I just want a great country

The man must be a good man and that earned him an extra spoon from a colleague to dine with her.

True ! And women no Dey joke with their food oh ! 🤣

Almunjid:

It's very painful especially if you're not involved. Just like other countries believed that Nigerians are criminals. Once u tell anyone that you're a Nigerian, they'll start looking at u as a criminal. But do we keep fighting them for talking about the obvious truth because we're not all into crimes or we need to work on ourselves and our bad reputation?

We keep seeing a particular tribe being guilty of drug dealing, child trafficking, fake products etc. What are the people from that tribe doing to reduce or climb down on these crimes? I didn't see anything much being done about it in their region. They talk less about it, cos it's normal to them. Many of them do not believe in legit hustle and this is dragging them and our beloved country into disrepute and if u talk about it, they'll say u hate their tribe.

In addition, Nairalanders mock Islam, Prophet Muhammad and Muslims here every day, no one reported this platform for islamophobia. The owner of this forum on his own discovered that Muslims hardly insult Jesus or litter Christian threads with insults and then decided to reduce it by putting oath in Muslim threads. Despite that, many Nairalanders flood Muslim threads, proclaim faith and sha'hadah just to have the opportunity to mock and ridiculed Muslims and their beliefs.

We (Muslims) won't report this Forum for islamophobia because of what some unscrupulous elements are saying about Islam, even though I know that some Muslims are giving us out to be ridiculed, I know it's not Seun's fault and he does not in anyway support their actions. I'd rather clarify their misconceptions about Islam and take note of some salient points raised regarding our misactions as Muslims and then talk my fellow Muslims out of it with wisdom.

Some people enjoy making fun of others, but they themselves can't take or endure it.


Peace!

Then I think access to the Islam section should be locked to each account’s religion . If you are not a Muslim , you can’t see the Muslim section and vice versa . Same way if you are not logged in , you can’t access the sexuality session .

It is well needed . However I think you should also set up a system to review bans in order to checkmate MODs excesses so you don’t end up with Gestapo-like moderators .

I have always said the only way to get ministers to sit up and be effective is make two high profile scapegoats . Deal with them in such a brutal way that the rest know that if they mess up they will be axed .

Unfortunately we don’t have such leaders . Only padi padi arrangements

Ikanium:
He's my parents last child, he's 19 now. I feel he was born gay because right from when he was a child, he acts like a woman. He'll prefer to play with dolls, he'll tie wrapper all the time, we felt this was just a small kid thing and that he was going to change when he's all grown. Unfortunately for us, i think he's gay now completely. I'm just devasted right now really don't know how to go about this.

I returned home for Christmas last year i couldn't believe what i saw my brother doing. I have had a discussion with my parents we really don't know what to do right now.

Any advice in the right direction will help please. Thank you.

There are effeminate guys and there are outright gays. If your brother is effeminate , try speak with him and take him for manly events . Confirm he doesn’t prefer men .
If he is outright gay , check if he was molested as a kid and you all didn’t notice . Take him for therapy In that case. If he wasn’t , then you can only pray . Because an adult is hard to change unless he decides to change by himself or God intervenes

Whenever Lionel Messi retires from the Argentina national team, Argentine Football Association president Claudio Tapia said he intends to make sure no player ever wears the No. 10 shirt again for the Albiceleste.

“When Messi retires from the national team, we will not allow anyone else to wear the number 10 after him,” Tapia said at a press conference over the weekend. “This number 10 will be retired for life in his honor. It’s the least we can do for him.”

Though retiring jersey numbers at the club level is fairly normal, it’s less common in the international game — and for good reason.

FIFA regulations require players to wear all numbers from one to 23 during official competitions. In other words, if Argentina is committed to retiring the No. 10, then it would have to play every tournament after Messi’s retirement missing one player on the roster.

There’s also the question of whether the most iconic jersey number in the game really belongs to any single player — even one as great as Messi.

Diego Maradona made the No. 10 shirt iconic with Argentina, and subsequent playmakers like Juan Román Riquelme followed in his footsteps until Messi made the number his own. If post-Maradona players could aspire to become Argentina’s No. 10, why couldn’t post-Messi players do the same?

Argentina actually attempted to retire the No. 10 shirt in Maradona’s honor more than 20 years ago, a request that was rejected by FIFA. It’s hard to imagine this time around will be any different.

Messi cemented his status as an Argentine legend in 2022, winning the World Cup to go along with the Copa América title he won the previous year. Though he’ll turn 37 this year, Messi is still very much central to the Argentina national team’s plans at the current moment.

Last month, the Inter Miami star said he was taking his national team career day by day and though he’s not closing the door on another World Cup in 2026, he is only focused on the 2024 Copa América in the United States.

After previously claiming the 2022 World Cup would be his last, though, Messi is now pushing for 2026 and a sixth World Cup appearance.

“I’m going to arrive at an age that I normally wouldn’t be able to play in the World Cup. I said that I don’t think I’m going to be there,” he told Star+. “It seemed that after the World Cup I was retiring and quite the opposite — now I want to be there more than ever.”



https://prosoccerwire.usatoday.com/2024/01/02/messi-argentina-retire-number-10-jersey/

Of course FIFA will grant it . Infact FIFA will retire number 10 from football forever . Besides why won’t he aspire to play in the 2026 World Cup when his biatch called FIFA is still in charge . No sane person will let the opportunity slide

tooth4tooth:
I am not surprised at all. Who want to marry a woman that will ruin his life. Because that is what many of them do when they enter foreign land.

I don’t know why people generalize . See there are alot women like that . There are also a lot of women who are not like that . Social media has exaggerated the bad ones so much that people do not seem to see the good ones again . Probably because those ones are busy building their homes to bother about social media .

christejames:
Keep signing then come and force us to spend this scarce money




Oloshi!

These people have analogue brains . Most of them can’t comprehend atlot except the game of partisan politics . There are POS merchants serving like banks . They need cash to be in business . They use Naira to make Naira. They will definitely hoard . People in highly liquid businesses hoard cash for that . Also politicians keep stolen money ( even dollars) so they can share when the need arise . Go to parties , that’s where you get to see mints . They bought it at a higher price and sell to others at a profit ! BDCs need huge Naira in order to be ready to buy any dollar that is available .

Most business people operate without physical cash . I can’t remember the last time I handled 50k cash .
No amount of presidential executive orders will change that.

Enemyofpeace:
it's 30k per month o

There is even money ? That’s fine

Seun:

My supermods were reluctant, so I banned a ton of people myself. For hours and hours. But I couldn't sustain that indefinitely. It's like cleaning a house with multiple toddlers. As soon as you stop cleaning, the house will get dirty again. My supermods could not be persuaded to handle the spammers the way that I wanted them to.

What has changed is that I am ready to bring in new people to do the job and if they fail I am ready to replace them as many times as necessary in order to find someone who will do it. The problems of Nairaland will always be on my mind due to my presence. Solutions will be found.

But I need the assistance.of Nairalanders. I cannot do it alone. We need people who can be trusted with responsibilities such as the ending of name-checking on the crime section of Nairaland.

I am very impartial and always a stickler to the truth no matter whose Ox is gored . Even if you Seun break the rules , you fit chop ban join 🙂

Seun:
Fellow Nairalanders,

I'm pleased to wish you a Happy New Year!!

2024 will be the year of Nairaland's resurgence. I will face Nairaland squarely like I used to before the discouraging Data Loss Incident of 2014. I will hire more hands to help us to improve Nairaland.

The problems of Nairaland that we should have solved years ago will be solved.

* We will defeat tribalists, trolls, & spammers.
* We will complete our advertising platform.
* We will improve the UI and UX.
* Home page topics will be educative & fresh.
* We will reverse the anti-women trends.

However, I must warn you that things will get worse before they get better. Please stand with us and fight for us as Nairaland faces the tough challenges of 2024, which have already started.

Happy New Year and thanks for using Nairaland!

Seun Osewa,
Nairaland's Founder.

I am interested in being a MOD . Is there a process to apply for it ?

Useless NLC that caters to the needs of a small percentage of Nigerians and their personal needs . The last useless and idiotic strike affected me and put me at risk . Over what ? The useless guy got beat up in a state and instead of facing the state declared a worthless national strike . Are the culprits in jail now ?

NLC is DEAD and has been dead for a long time . No bite only selfish interest !

Tareq1105:


Most of you guys are naive. So if 1,411 Nigerians attended a Conference in Dubai, does it mean it was Nigeria govt that sponsored them?

Talking about Naivety, you stink of it . Nigeria has a travel ban in place to Dubai . The Nigerian Attendees got to attend only through the Nigerian government . Even if a bunch of them are not sponsored , does that show a government that sensitive to Nigerians plight in this economic downturn ? The image is bad and it shows how insensitive they are . A government preaching to its citizens to tighten up but presents such an image . That government is stupid .

Bobloco:
Nigerians are no longer enthusiastic to listen to the New year speech of Mr President because they know he got absolutely nothing to offer

Business as usual . He knows that Nigerians and businesses are groaning , yet the government is spending on itself extravagantly . Look at the number of useless delegates sent to dubai . The only achievement is the “ agreement for speedy” execution of power projects . Something the power minister can sort out with a little delegation. NASS bought brand new cars for themselves. They also sent themselves a little something for their first recess . There is no visible end to the issues of Nigeria . It is getting worse . When the people are ready for change , May God assist to take us to there without war.

Baby mamas are left overs. How can a single man, after his parents trained him to become a complete man, look for a wife 2 marry, and then marry a baby mama? Its like attending night party by 5 am the next day. Very irritating, toxic, and smelly. Even a baby mama no go wan take ear hear say her son dey friend baby mama

In as much as I agree with you to an extent , there are some women who made mistakes but chose to keep the child . They have good character but ended up with getting the right with irresponsible men .

As a matter of fact , if you know the number of abortions the women who you claim are not baby mamas have done , Wallahi you will have a change of mind .

thinkmoney:

A lot of your mentality and many other Nigerians aren’t different from animals. That’s why our society is like this.
Why do we adore Mandela and Ghandi to this day? There is what is regarded as civil character. When Saul died David mourned extraordinarily. Mark Anthony eulogized Brutus after he saw their end. Ceaser too eulogized Pompei. These are civil character and human values you are supposed to acquire in schools. These are the real reason why we go to school so that we form the proper mindset and attitude. These are what they teach us in church (or maybe you are not a Christian).

Like I said you are just being sentimental . Even your opening statement is a direct opposite of what you claim to preach .

All the historical people you wrote up there are just to whip up unnecessary sentiments again . I will not engage you on that . Even the David you wrote about , read about his atrocities in war, love and family .

Your type are always quick to insult Nigerians because of your myopic and biased mentality . You falsely believe you have attained a state of morality hence become a self appointed moral policeman. Even the almighty US is way more morally bankrupt than Nigerians .

So sir sit your sentimental ass down and drink water !

Emeskhalifa:


Ogar it is his responsibility to make research. Abi now wey dem burst am, who's reputation is in the mud?

Have you seen houses being advertised at 600 million in Lekki . Some of us in the industry know it is not that price but people are free to put any value they want on their product . If they don’t see market , they will reduce it themselves .
The private jet company is the one to put the value in their product not Ola . If anything it is the company that should be attacked on their over valuation of their plane not the person paid to advertise it .

APOPTOSIS:
That's the reason most Lies don't sell abroad. People are armed with wealthy information and they confront you immediately with facts. That's the reason terrible Nigerians hate RUFAI. Meanwhile they keep wondering why the country isn't making progress.

Imagine the number of Lies this Guy would have sold to the GeneraL ignorant public.
Does he know the cost of Boeing 737?
What does it cost to do proper research before rushing out to dish out ill-fated facts.

This is not fair . You people are just vilifying the guy for no just reason . So if Coca-Cola comes to you to do advert for them , paid you and ask you to say a bottle of coke is 1000, you will start to do research on the price ? Like seriously ?

Ola wasn’t doing a review . He was paid to do an advert like most of his posts . Even Ronaldo do advert for the wahala crypto company . So what is the vitriol on Ola ? Abeg make Una rest .

aylipple:
Knowing APC as currently held by the jugular by PBAT & his loyal stooge, Ganduje, this is the best deal Aiyedatiwa will get; completing Akeredolu's tenure only! Someone else will fly the flag for the party in the governorship polls for Ondo next year.

Lol . Then you don’t know politics one bit . No permanent enemy or friend . By mid-2024 , they will all be chummy and all will be forgotten about Akeredolu . No be last year Queen Elizabeth die . How many people dey remember am . The world will move on VERY fast

thinkmoney:

The way u people support bad things just because of sentiments ehn? God will judge all of u. U guys behave like u didn’t go through school or u do not even have any religion.
That mans attitude was nauseating. A normal and civilized human being will feel repulsed

You are the sentimental one . So because someone who tormented and almost impeached him died , he should be rolling on the floor crying ? He is perceived by the former governor and his loyalists as an enemy . Abeg all is fair in love and war

OndoEyes:


It was needed to rejoice and dance on the same day his boss just died? Aiyedatiwa was nothing before Aketi brought him to contest with him and this is how he repaid him. Nothing can justify this treacherous act

And he was treated like nothing as a deputy governor too.I don’t understand the reasons why governors and presidents do not like to hand over to their deputies when they are sick . It’s not like they will impeach him before he comes back .

I don’t blame him for his reaction . The governor stopped being his boss and became his enemy .

Also it is a win for Ondo people who have been governed by a sick and absentee governor for months . Active governance can resume
