I have always said nigerian community in south africa is killing each other. Their barbaric and nigerians in Nigerians think their innocent and South Africans are bad one. Nigerians in south africa live like animals

Fkmodhi:
I hope y’all will say Supreme Court is working now mumu people

Salubata:
imagine this crook who invested State money in family business?

Beta Edu didn't do half of the dastardly act this packaged fraud perpetrated as governor

Someone who ought to be in a dungeon.
Such an effrontery!

“I also invested $50million of Anambra State money in the power sector. I invested several billions in banks, including banks where I have shares. I was investing for the future of the state; it doesn’t matter whether I have shares or not. If I have the opportunity of building the future of the state, wouldn’t I have done that?"
Peter Obi.

PHIPEX:
just Google it. It's all over the Internet. He's the only Governor that was impeached for "saving money"

DamnnNiggarr:



With this comments of yours, I'm now compelled to believe, beyond every reason doubt, that You guys certainly do not know
who Peter Obi really is.

Where did you guys think that the very popular mantra "Peter Obi is a stingy man" came from?

I've known Peter Obi for more than a decade and I can unequivocally tell y'all that, naturally, Peter Obi hates spending without reason, in short, he despises it, he hates useless and unwarranted expenditure just as a dog hates goat shit.

That's also the reason why he was able to leave office without any debt for his successor and also was able to leave over #70 billion Naira in Anambra State account.

Kingrshd3:
An even thinking of transferring all my funds to Opay now but just afraid if they fold up and they don't have physical office 🤔

MrSundry:
This is absolute rubbish. Debiting people for transactions that occured since 2021 does not make any sense. Why can't they start the enforcement from 2024 transactions

I applied for a visitors visa in 2005 and was refused based on family ties in the country I was supposed to visit.
My question is how long does the embassy keep record of visa denials?
I heard there is an immigration record retention period of six years.
How true is this? Valuable inputs from experts needed.

SmartyPants:
It seems it is you who hasn't understood what I wrote - my submissions have been on offer letters and employment contracts, whereas you've been going on about acceptance letters which is not germane to the current topic.

The question is what qualifies as proof of employment and the point is that an offer letter may not qualify, hence the difficulties described in the OP.

Samakus:
I will still vote Obi. I witnessed his giant strides in Anambra firsthand. I know his capacity.

No amount of propaganda and hate will change my opinion of Obi.

Bobloco:
The biggest shareholder you mean


Then you are culpable

Kindly throw in the towel now and submit yourself at the nearest EFCC office

sukkot:
Like you go out to eat all the time and it's in nice restaurants and the bill comes to 10,000 etc etc maybe even more. Do you feel guilty knowing that many are hungry or do you just accept that in life there are levels. Make Everyman dey Hin own level. My own level na to eat 10k food while him own level na to eat 200 naira food . Should you feel guilty ?

SmartyPants:
Yeah but these are all different things: Appointment letters and contracts of employment, are final documents. An offer letter is a preparatory document that outlines terms that you can negotiate. The acceptance of an offer letter doesn't imply an employment relationship, only that any subsequent contract will be in accordance with the terms you have agree upon. An offer letter can be rescinded but a contract of empolment cannot be rescinded without legal consequences.

SmartyPants:
Well in the West the practice is to send you an initial offer letter outlining the terms of the proposed contract but this is not treated as the final agreement. I'm not sure why they do this, but you still need a subsequent contract.

Also you have used gaslight wrongly.

Juraj:
My friend is attempting to get tourist Visa to a Schengen country, one of the requirements is proof of employment.
He have tried with Offer Letter but it got rejected, when asked at workplace nobody seems to have Employment Contract either.
When asked directly his boss, he is being told that there is only offer letter.

Are they trying to gaslight him or is it common practice to only get an offer letter ?

Work is long term, full time, already there for 2 years +
Thanks

Judolisco:
What people don't understand is dat Peter obi is also part of d criminals dat destroyed Nigeria... Don't quote me... Jst say a little prayer for yourself... That God should transform your life d way obi transformed anambra state.
Governors like Duke, ameachi, Wike, fashola ambode are miles better than obi, even fayose of ekiti better pass dis dude.

Samakus:
Did he just call Labour Party 'special purpose vehicle '?

sheeda995:
I think inferiority complex is what is making you type in English,why not type in your dialect?

sheeda995:
Please stop lying. I do not live in Nigeria and everyday people are learning to blend in with accent. Not cx of inferiority complex but survival instincts

Freshtruth:
That d only alternative trust me. It will be foolish for obi to decline this offer. He should remember if not for Atiku that personally pick him 2019 Nigerians would not had notice his intellectual skills. This VP debate 2019 is what shot obi to limelight thanks to Atiku


BTW
The north has done that 8 years with Buhari And Atiku will be 81 by 2027 his ambition shows he just want to answer the title Mr president and that not what Nigerians need at d moment. So we the Obidents want Atiku to support obi to finish south turn he have d honour to nominate a VP for Obi. With that singular Heart he has written his name in Gold . with that he will be remember for

"The days of federal palace and Sheraton are over, when last did you hear of Sheraton or FPH except for the balmoral hall as a venue for weddings and parties?"

Your statement above I quoted is so funny. The days of Sheraton and federal
palace are over but Ikeja hotel Plc (holding company of federal palace and Sheraton) was one of the top ten performing stocks of 2023 on NGX? 😂

No worry we go dey bust your lies and misyarnings as time progresses. Olodo

olowoba2:
Thanks for your explanation, I largely agree with you. However there are exceptions. For instance, have you lived abroad? If you have lived abroad and you don’t try to adjust your natural Nigerian accent to blend in, you would find out that many people will find it hard to hear you which can severely impede communication and in some cases limit your career opportunities.
Sometimes it is not inferiority complex. it is just a good social skill that can open doors for you, professionally and personally particularly if you are abroad.

I have the same pedigree as you and those jobs e.g. Engineering, Architect, etc you mentioned are mid-level job.

Also you are discounting the reality that, there are many Programmers who are equally as good or better than you and the employees have to make decisions based on other criterias.

Many Engineering and Programming jobs also include the requirement to be an effective communicator. As an Engineer after doing my designs, I have to stand in front of upper management to do Presentations, in some cases convince them about my design solution against another solution, communicating in an accent they do not understand will not go a long way.

Also High End Presale Network Architects, who go into Boardrooms to convince CEOs, Presidents and Company Directors to adopt a new technology from their provider must be good communicators and in many cases, the only option is to speak in the common accent everyone at the table understands.

Low & Midl evel Engineers or Programmers who just interact with keyboards don’t need these skills.

epainos:
You are the ignorant one. It is not about the money we are speaking here...or how robust an economy is. It is about speaking a language well. If I was to learn the Mandarin language, I would wish to speak in a way, they will understand all my words. So, I have to identify letters I have problems with and then work on them. This is what accent reduction is about.

No matter how rich or poor the Chinese are...they try their best to go for accent reduction when they are out of their countries also. I have lived with Chinese. Speaking English is so hard for them...and they keep putting in effort. This is about language.

Stop hiding behind ...money and wealth for your weakness. You have words and letters you pronounce wrongly and badly. It is not bad to work on them.

That they try hard to understand your bad pronunciation does not mean every positive person should think that his wealth is all that matters. People saying eh eh eh eh eh to you cos they dont understand your worda can be frustrating. Not everything is wealth or money. And you...you are from a poor nation...doing yanga. Who will waste his time doing eh ehe eh ehe eh to a broke people from a broke nation?

Good luck!

I think you have to take your own advice, read three times so to comprehend.

My first two paragraphs is not talking about getting a job in Nigeria, rather about getting a job abroad where the accent of the interviewer and accent used in the office is different from your foreign accent and the job is not in-demand.

The last paragraph talk about intentional changes even within Nigeria as people move abroad and acquire a new community.

Google ‘accent change for job interview’ and you will get many hits abroad for people who offer that service for a fees.
