Education › Re: An OAU Student's Project On Defeathering A Chicken. This Is An Awesome Invention by Bollinger(m): 1:30pm On Sep 06, 2015

An invention that has been in existence since the days of confucius. We just like celebrating mediocrity.
Mediocre people love celebrating mediocrity. Nigerians are easily dazzled. They don't know how to ask "how" or "why". Which is how Buhari won the election. By promising 5k a month for doing nothing and they were dazzled. Nobody bothered to ask how or why it was feasible.

See my point? Why build something like this? It's not going to replace an existing one so why bother?

The day Buhari became president, everybody starting crying, the rich now cry's the poor have been crying since 1960, but their cries in 2015 can creat another river niger.

Jonathan transformed the rich to become richer and the poor to become richer too, but Buhari changed the poor to poorest and the rich to poor people, sotey they are crying now.
All this in under three months? haba. Nigerians have a ailment called selective amnesia.

'west pay tax because citizen could see what they are doing with it.....i av work with tax agency and is most difficult thing to pay in Nigeria, dos west that you r saying had a specific and consistent tax amount but here in Nigeria, Government tax you unnecessarily, a nursery school paid #30k in a year and Government increased it to 350k without any explanation. Ppl will resist it and apart, what are dey using the one collected for?.....is it not dis Government that couldn't pay salary despite allocations and IGR?
which is exactly my point. The citizens don't understand the benefits of taxation or why they have to pay it, and the government don't know how to utilize the one's the've collected. It's all about the mentality of the country as a whole. It's completely phucked up.
Christianity Etc › Re: How A Mammi Water Almost Ruined A UNILAG Student by Bollinger(m): 6:50pm On Sep 05, 2015
NoRetreat:
I won't dismissed the story as untrue, I graduated from UNILAG, we were all reading at the old library at night, light went off and while waiting for NEPA to restore electricity we could not explained what happened to all of us! There was a sudden rush fom nowhere some were injured some were terrified that was the end of reading that night. It was later learnt that the spirit of Lagoon caused the panick AKT for those who know the library before the lagoon front. So, the story might be true, some guys were always seen at the lagoon at night during the exam.
It always amazes me that when these conspiracy theorist need a phone camera to prove their theories, they never seem to have one. "i saw an alien", "I saw a witch", " i saw mammy water" and they never seem to have pictures. But when it comes to "see a man crushed by a trailer", "man lynched to death in lagos", "nepa official electrocuted on pole" etc, miraculously their camera phone starts to work again

Exposure matters. What you should have said was "aren't the people of Onitsha paying taxes?" oh wait; Nigerians hardly ever pay taxes and everyone is ok with it. You all wonder why the west is so much better. well, they take the issue of taxation very seriously because it is what is used for developmental projects and maintenance. The government expects every able bodied person to pay their taxes and the people expects that their taxes are used judiciously. Nigerians expect change but don't want to change their mentality. Good luck with that.

Sister. You need to check the definition of "passion". The guy is working for a living. Period. You talk as if what he is doing is a hobby. He gets tips for what he is doing. He is expecting to be paid one way or another. It's a matter of survival.

It is too early to judge Buhari's competence, or lack thereof.

I say...''wait'' until the Ministers have been appointed and worked for a year.

My own yardstick for judging this government is how they intend to diversify us from oil dependency.

I used to be like you. Short sighted, hungry, frustrated. Until, one day i decided to explore other normal societies and lo and behold my perception changed completely. I realized that most people in Nigeria are influenced in their thinking and mindset based on the jacked up stimuli in the society. Which is why eating food supplies left behind by bloodthirsty terrorist is a good idea by your standards.

So according to your "sensible logic" the terrorists ordered and were expecting poisoned food? Or did they tell you it was their intention to have their rations apprehended by the army? And you have the guts to use that your leprous fingers to type "TALK WITH SENSE"? Your intelligence must be my gibberish! Nonsense!

why will they poison their food their own food?
During the vietnam wars, the rebels used to delibrately infect their women with siphillis because they knew that the u.s. soldiers visit their brothels. Now the question would be why would they infect their women with such a disease? right?. I pray you never see war. I have. It's a terrible thing. People do the most absurd thing just to win.

And you just proved my point. you've just said it's possible. In your example there is no way to know it's from BH. Now that the army is sure it's from BH you want them to give the public for consumption. Really?

Mermaids are real as I heard stories from a guy whose cousin saw one & he almost died, likewise a local documentary made in Lagos had typical local fishermen interviewed on the issue of mermaid & they responded saying they encounter them once in a while & that 2 kinds exists, the wicked ones who don't like humans & as such attack them & the good ones who help them catch lots of fishes. As for me there is no good mermaid as they're all demons.

Career › Re: Please Help! My Boss Is Scared I Will Replace Her by Bollinger(m): 8:35am On Sep 04, 2015
Nnaeb:
Dear JobTrends,



I am facing a very difficult time at my workplace. I landed a job fourteen months ago and the first eight months were the honeymoon period. My boss loved everything I did. I walked around feeling on top of the world. I was very innovative.

First I replaced our outdated newsletter publishing platform with a new one that is faster, cheaper and much easier to use. I cleaned out our newsletter subscriber database and used social media tools to double our newsletter subscription list.

Then I started including fun little quizzes and community discussion topics on our site and our newsletter. Our sales increased by fifteen percent. I created a “Get Started” kit for new customers. I’ve never had as much fun on a job as I had in my first eight or nine months here. Then things started to get ugly.

My boss said “You’ve made your point. Give the new ideas a break.” I was completely shocked. I thought my boss who happens to be of an opposite sex, the Head of Marketing, would want to keep moving forward fast. I thought that my new ideas would make my boss happy and they did at first, but then she said “e don do.”

I have a dozen more ideas ready to implement. The salespeople have asked me for an online customer training that they can use when they visit new customers.

Now I don’t know how to prove my value or even how to get through the day. I can’t even answer sales and customer requests intelligently because I can’t say “That’s a great suggestion, and we are working on implementing it.” I can’t say that because it isn’t true!



I haven’t spent a dime on my marketing initiatives. The only expense to the company is my salary which is not that big. I replaced a person who was paid a lot more than I get paid, because I heard it from the salespeople who were very dissatisfied with my predecessor, kemi.

Please I need your advice, what should I do? I’m completely frustrated. Can I get my boss, to let me keep doing my job or do I have to leave my job after less than a year and a half knowing how unfriendly the labor market is?

Thanks,

Christopher

TV/Movies › Re: The Legend Of Wale Williams, By Roye-Okupe by Bollinger(m): 4:29pm On Sep 03, 2015
Aareonakakanfo:
“I wasn’t born a hero. I had to become one.”What do you think?

So begins graphic novel trilogy E.X.O: The Legend of Wale Williams, which had its official release this week. In it, Wale Williams, a young Nigerian man, returns home to investigate the mysterious disappearance of his father, a brilliant inventor. Upon his arrival, he inherits a Nanosuit, giving him the superpowers needed to fight the corrupt leaders, robotic drones, and radical extremists that plague his futuristic home– the Lagos-inspired Lagoon City.What do you think?

Conceived of by Lagos-born digital animator and YouNeek Studios founder Roye Okupe, the comic world of Wale Williams is a welcome addition to the emerging canon of afrofuturistic stories featuring African characters. When we caught up with longtime superhero lover Okupe prior to the launch of his Kickstarter campaign, he recounted what drove him to invest his time and money in the story after being told repeatedly that his great idea wouldn’t have a fan base.What do you think?

“From the first day I laid my eyes on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons in the ’80s, I’ve been hooked on superheroes. Since then I’ve watched, played and read every single superhero-related title I could lay my hands on: movies, comics, manga, anime, graphic novels, animated movies/series, video games etc. Then in 2008, after noticing there wasn’t a lot of diversity within the genre, I decided to tell a story about a hero from Nigeria.”What do you think?

The success of the novel’s Kickstarter speaks to the gravity of his vision. “We hit our target in about two days and for the rest of the Kickstarter campaign we got $10,000,” Okupe told CNN. “It was then that I knew this was the right path. Any failure I felt before — not getting the animation, getting rejected by so many distributors and producers, people telling me my idea is not going to work — it finally justified the fact I never quit on myself.” The product is finally here, beautifully made, and available for purchase. In the future, YouNeek Studios plans to create a more Africa-inclusive collection of superhero comics, including an animated EXO feature film
