Etisalat has the very annoying habit of deducting credit even when no calls have been made and no internet service used. It is really annoying. One day, you guys deducted 566naira at a go. I want to drop the line cos this is so frustrating.

Also, why do i have to pay for calls received?

spyder880: Each sq. meter costs N5,000 according to the quote they gave me. Aluminium long span costs N1,150 per sq.meter, Gerard tiles is a roofing tile, more steel (stone coated) than aluminium. Gerard/Wichtech Roofing tiles is the English Premier league while aluminium long span is the Nigerian amateur league Na joke I dey joke o Before people like me that built our houses with aluminium will start to vex

Hopefully, by next year, the price would have come down.

No reply to my email.

Thanks for the response. I had always wondered. Well done.

What a massive house! Well done.

[quote author=itsmelex]]When did you start the nan1?

Some mother's do not produce enough milk so have to complement with formular. Nothing wrong with that. The only way to know she is not eating eanough is if is not gaining the appropriate weight for her age.

However, she may be constipated as you said. She can warm the milk before giving her and ensure it is mixed as written on the tin. Breastmilk is still the best for a baby but sometimes, they need more.

This glass house is definitely not for me. Everyone can see you in your house. Absolutely no privacy.

Oga Spyder, i like the tiles you mentioned. What would it cost per sq metre versus how much long span aluminium would cost? Is the Gerard tiles a form of aluminium? Really interested.

Nigerian govt should also, put a bond on all Nigerians that want to travel to UK maybe of 5000GBP. Before a tourist will pay 8000GBP to go to UK, them go think am twice. By the time people are not going to UK to shop, no one will tell them to reverse their stupid policy. Na Nigerians dey give them level.

Very interested in the foundation.

Sorry, I thought you mentioned 2nd interview. 2nd test is as I explained in the post you quoted. Mine was not objective. It was fill in d gaps and essay. Prepare for really random questions.

[quote author=dl_jbd]Thnx...This is really helpful as I'll be doing my second test next Wednesday. Wanna know if its objectives questions as the first was?[/quote]My situation wa different as I was coming in as an experienced hire. The second stage for me was meeting a partner.

It depends on the partner you get to meet. Some are easy-going, some are difficult people. Just learn all you can about the firm. Remember that they have other services apart from audit so don't refer to it as an audit firm. Someone failed because of that. Just be articulate, sound intelligent and be friendly.

Sending e-hugs ur way. Will keep him in our prayers. Be strong.

You did said you had just N8.8m budget for this project, which a lot of people including myself doubt(the money) will be sufficient. If I may ask, how much have you spent to this level from your tight budget?

Thanks![/quote]He has responded severally. They had to make changes to the design of the foundation and it has thus increased the budget. He has taken the criticism and is moving on. E don do abeg.

How much will it cost to build this your plan in Ajah up to roofing stage?

I gbadaun your designs no be small.

kulyie: I would rather have her do it discretely and package it back in a nylon bag without anyone seeing that stuff let alone perceieve it and dispose it off when she gets down.I have seen a couple of clean mothers that pack their kids thrash without any one noticing,that's my point

Your alternative does not make sense. How do you change a baby's diaper "discreetly"? Shit smells. Brt's don't have toilets so what did she do wrong?

This same Gumsu that has dated all the married men in Abuja. At a point in time, she was Fani Kayode's main mistress. Yeye dey smell.

Why won't she yarn dust when na only runz she sabi.

I decided to modify my earlier post. I have seen that you have learned quite a lot from your past mistakes and have taken all the negative criticism in your stride. I am happy that the ahonohai issue has finally been laid to rest.

That being said, I like the quality and look of the furniture. Really nice. Apart from all the issues that came up, I think you did a really good job on the house.

God speed to you. You know say you be our oga.

Go to a magistrate court near you. You will swear an affidavit. Then do a change of name in the newspapers (costs about N5k -N10k). There are ususally lawyers hanging around the magistrate courts to help you with what you need. Can't remember the cost of the affidavit.

Happy as You Want to Be

Almost everyone have heard the hit single 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' by Bobby McFerrin. The song has a very catchy way of conveying its message of being happy to everyone. Bobby McFerrin's simple message surely made a lot of people by telling them not to worry.

Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful, and is also good for your health. Being happy actually protects you from the stresses of life. Stress is linked to top causes of death such as heart disease, cancer and stroke.

One of the better things ever said is - 'The only thing in life that will always remain the same is change', and in our life we have the power to make the necessary changes if we want to. Even if we find ourselves
in an unbearable situation we can always find solace in the knowledge
that it too would change.

Social networks or relationships are essential to happiness. People are different, accept people for whom or what they are, avoid clashes, constant arguments, and let go of all kinds of resentments. If arguments seem unavoidable still try and make an effort to understand the situation and you might just get along with well with

Happiness is actually found in everyone, increasing it is a way to make a life more wonderful and also healthier.

To be happy is relatively easy; just decide to be a happy person. Abraham Lincoln observed that most people for most of the time can choose how happy or stressed, how relaxed or troubled, how bright or dull their outlook to be. The choice is simple really, choose to be happy.

There are several ways by which you can do this.

Being grateful is a great attitude. We have so much to be thankful for. Thank the taxi driver for bringing you home safely, thank the cook for a wonderful dinner and thank the guy who cleans your windows. Also thank the mailman for bringing you your mails, thank the policeman for making your place safe and thank God for being alive.

News is stressful. Get less of it. Some people just can't start their day without their daily dose of news. Try and think about it, 99% of the news we hear or read is bad news. Starting the day with bad news does not seem to be a sensible thing to do.

A religious connection is also recommended. Being part of a religious group with its singing, sacraments, chanting, prayers and meditations foster inner peace.

Manage your time. Time is invaluable and too important to waste. Time management can be viewed as a list of rules that involves scheduling, setting goals, planning, creating lists of things to do and prioritizing. These are the core basics of time management that should be understood to develop an efficient personal time management
skill. These basic skills can be fine tuned further to include the finer points of each skill that can give you that extra reserve to make the results you desire.

Laugh and laugh heartily everyday. Heard a good joke? Tell your friends or family about it. As they also say -'Laughter is the best medicine'.

Express your feelings, affections, friendship and passion to people around you. They will most likely reciprocate your actions. Try not to keep pent up anger of frustrations, this is bad for your health. Instead find ways of expressing them in a way that will not cause more injury or hurt to anyone.

Working hard brings tremendous personal satisfaction. It gives a feeling of being competent in finishing our tasks. Accomplishments
are necessary for all of us, they give us a sense of value. Work on things that you feel worthy of your time.

Learning is a joyful exercise. Try and learn something new everyday. Learning also makes us expand and broaden our horizons. And could also give us more opportunities in the future.

Run, jog, walk and do other things that your body was made for. Feel alive.

Avoid exposure to negative elements like loud noises, toxins and hazardous places.

These are the few simple things you can do everyday to be happy.

And always remember the quote from Abraham Lincoln, he says that, "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."



Genuine Happiness Comes from Within

Life isn’t the sweetest candy. Sometimes, when I feel like the world is just too heavy, I look around and find people who continued to live fascinating and wonderful lives. And then thoughts come popping into my mind like bubbles from nowhere – “How did their life become so adorably sweet? How come they still can manage to laugh and play around despite a busy stressful life?” Then I pause and observed for awhile… I figured out that maybe, they start to work on a place called ‘self’.
So, how does one become genuinely happy? Step 1 is to love yourself. My theology professor once said that “loving means accepting.” To
love oneself means to accept that you are not a perfect being, but
behind the imperfections must lie a great ounce of courage to be able to discover ways on how to improve your repertoire to recover from our mistakes.

Genuine happiness also pertains to contentment. When you are contented with the job you have, the way you look, with your family, your friends, the place you live in, your car, and all the things you now have – truly, you know the answer to the question “how to be genuinely happy.”

When we discover a small start somewhere from within, that small start will eventually lead to something else, and to something else. But if you keep questioning life lit it has never done you any good, you will never be able to find genuine happiness.

I believe that life is about finding out about right and wrong, trying and failing, winning and losing. These are things that happen as often as you inhale and exhale. Failure, in a person’s life has become as abundant and necessary as air. But this should not hinder us from becoming happy.

How to be genuinely happy in spite all these? I tell you… every time you exert effort to improve the quality of life and your being, whether it is cleaning up your room, helping a friend, taking care of your sick dog, fail on board exams and trying again, life gives you equivalent points for that.

Imagine life as a big score board like those which are used in the NFLs. Every time you take a step forward, you make scoring points. Wouldn’t it be nice to look at that board at the end of each game and think to yourself “Whew! I got a point today. I’m glad I gave it a shot.”, instead
of looking at it all blank and murmur “Geez, I didn’t even hit a score today. I wish I had the guts to try out. We could have won!” and then walk away.

Genuine happiness isn’t about driving the hottest Formula 1 car, nor getting the employee of the year award, earning the highest 13th month pay, or beating the sales quota. Sometimes, the most sought after prizes in life doesn’t always go to the fastest, the strongest, the bravest or not even the best. So, how do you become genuinely happy? Every one has his own definition of ‘happiness’. Happiness for a writer may mean launching as much best selling books as possible. Happiness for a basketball rookie may mean getting the rookie of the year award. Happiness for a beggar may mean a lot of money. Happiness for a business man may mean success. So, really now, how do we become genuinely happy? Simple. You don’t have to have the best things in this world. Its about doing and making the best out of every single thing. When you find yourself smiling at your own
mistake and telling your self “Oh, I’ll do better next time”, you carry
with you a flame of strong will power to persevere that may spread out like a brush fire. You possess a willingness to stand up again and try – that will make you a genuinely happy person.

When you learn to accept yourself and your own faults. You pass step
1 in the project “how to become genuinely happy”.For as long as you know how to accept others, you will also be accepted. For as long as you love and know how to love, you will receive love ten folds back.

Again, throw me that same question “how to become genuinely happy?”. I’ll refer you to a friend of mine who strongly quoted- “Most of us know that laughter is the best medicine to life’s aches and pain. But most of us don’t know that the best kind of laughter is laughter over self. Coz then you don’t just become happy… you become free.”

Hi. Can you used this on any surface?

yellowpawpaw: Come o! Don't go yet.which one is chinese calculation and real age? I only know dat d chinese hv their own calender.I hv not seen it.

Last derailment abeg. There is a major conflict on which to use. I decided to play it safe by using a date when both are in agreement in every aspect and then you also have same gender for like 3 months. It was on Nairaland I heard about this calendar and my friends told me the above. So far its been accurate.

It worked both times for me. All my friends that used had 100% positive outcome. You just have to know how to use it. First question, should it be your real age or your age using Chinese calculation?
