Jokes Etc / Nigerian Air Ways by chuqudy(m): 7:25pm On Oct 11, 2013
An American came to Nigeria for a tour. He has a Nigerian friend who took him around the country. The American was very inquisitive. When they went to a place in Fulani, he saw some men carrying single sticks at the back of their necks and jumping up and down. “What is this?” the American questioned. “Nigerian dancing ways”, his friend answered. They later went to a local restaurant in one village in Abuja. The American saw some people eating “eba”, “fufu”, “tuwo” and “ewedu”. He was astonished to see them forming balls with the food and swallowing them. He asked his friend, “what is the meaning of all these?” “Nigerian eating ways” replied his friend. Suddenly, one fat man who was eating “ewedu” farted. The sound of the gas was immediately accompanied by the pungent odour. The American took to his heels and his friend ran after him. “Now, what can you call this one?” the American inquired. “Nigerian Air Ways”, his friend jokingly replied.

Health / Top 10 Hangover Foods by chuqudy(m): 9:24am On Oct 10, 2013
Hangover food 1: Vegemite

One reason many of us feel so bad the morning after a drinking session is because alcohol depletes your system of essential nutrients, including B vitamins. A lack of B vitamins can cause anxiety and depression, so try munching on vegemite - a rich source of the vitamin B complex - to lift your mood. As an added benefit, vegemite has a high sodium content which can help replace the salts lost through drinking alcohol. Try the savoury spread on toast for an added fix of carbs.

Hangover food 2: Watermelon

Not only does alcohol deplete your body of nutrients, it can also lead to low blood sugar levels, which may leave you feeling weak and shaky. To counteract this, try snacking on watermelon, which is not only high in fructose but is also water-rich to boost hydration. On top of this, watermelon is high in many essential nutrients, including vitamin C, B-vitamins and magnesium.

Hangover food 3: Ginger

If too much alcohol has you feeling queasy, ginger is the perfect food to help settle your stomach and relieve nausea. While you may not feel much like chewing on the food in its original form, you could try adding some grated ginger to hot water for a ginger tea, blending into a fresh fruit or vegetable juice, or snacking on ginger biscuits for a stomach-soothing treat.

Hangover food 4: Eggs

Scrambled, fried or boiled, eggs are a popular hangover breakfast, and the good news is they are a great choice for beating the nastiest of hangovers. Firstly, eggs are extremely rich in protein, which helps raise mood-boosting serotonin levels as well as helping to reduce nausea. Furthermore, eggs are rich in an amino acid called cystine, which helps fight against the alcohol-induced toxins that contribute to your hangover.

Hangover food 5: Bananas


Bananas are packed with potassium and magnesium, two of the minerals often depleted in our bodies when alcohol is consumed. A lack of potassium in the body can lead to nausea, weakness and tiredness, so stocking up on bananas can help reduce these classic hangover symptoms. As an added bonus, bananas are natural antacids so great for reducing stomach acid, and are good for providing a boost of energy if you have a busy day ahead.

Hangover food 6: Soup

One of the most important steps for beating a hangover is getting your body rehydrated, and this can be done through what you eat as much as what you drink. To up your fluids and sodium levels and get a shot of nutrients all at once, try some health-boosting vegetable or miso soup. As an added benefit, soup is easy on the stomach so good if you're feeling a bit queasy.

Hangover food 7: Oats

Due to the diuretic effects of alcohol, the body loses many essential minerals and vitamins during a heavy drinking session. Luckily, oats can provide you with many of these nutrients, including B vitamins (good for the liver and mood) and essential minerals magnesium, calcium and iron. On top of this, oats can help neutralise acidity levels in the body, cleanse the liver, absorb toxins and slowly raise blood sugar levels, making a bowl of porridge the perfect hangover breakfast.

Hangover food 8: Fruit juice

If you're feeling a bit queasy at the thought of food, then this is the cure for you. While it's great to line your stomach with food if you can, to replace lost vitamins, raise blood sugar levels and rehydrate your body, you can't do much better than a glass of fresh juice. Not only is juice good for immediate relief, the fructose will also help speed up the removal of alcohol from your blood.

Hangover food 9: Sardines

If you're craving something savoury, sardines on toast could be the perfect morning-after breakfast. A major cause of hangovers is an imbalance of electrolytes, and sardines are rich in many of these vital minerals, including sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium and calcium. In addition to this, sardines are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for protecting the liver as well as lifting the mood.

Hangover food 10: Coconut water

Many hangover sufferers swear by sports drinks as a way to hydrate the body and help rebalance electrolytes. However, sports drinks are often carbonated, which can irritate the stomach, and packed with refined sugars. For a natural alternative to sports drinks, try sipping on some coconut water, which contains essential electrolytes (including calcium, potassium and magnesium) to boost hydration, and is also soothing for the stomach.

Health / Sprite - The Ultimate Hangover Cure? by chuqudy(m): 9:17am On Oct 10, 2013
The answer to a boozy night and drinking a few alcoholic beverages too many could be another drink that's generally not considered very good for you.

Scientists have concluded that Sprite is the best cure for a hangover - beating competition from herbal teas, coffee and other fizzy drinks.
The reason we get hungover is because alcohol does some pretty horrible things to our body. It's dehydrating and so the body takes water from the brain in order for the other organs to function - which is why you're often groggy and a bit slow after a night on the sauce.

And that's also a key reason for that pounding headache you may recognise, as the brain decreases in size (it's usually made of 75 per cent water) and pulls on the membranes that connect it to the skull.
As well as dehydrating you, alcohol also stops your body making a key hormone called vasopressin. Without this, the kidneys send water straight to the bladder, rather than reabsorbing some into the body - so you urinate more, making you even more thirsty and dehydrated as you lose electrolytes, sodium and potassium. Low levels of these cause nausea and pain.

So far so miserable. But where does Sprite come into this?

Alcohol contains ethanol, which is a poison and the body needs to break it down and expel it.

The liver breaks down ethanol into acetaldehyde using an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). It then breaks that down into acetate using aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH).

The quicker the body manages to break down the acetaldehyde, the faster you'll feel better, as it's responsible for some typical hangover symptoms including feeling and being sick and a headache.

Researchers in China found that Sprite helped to speed up the work of the enzymes, in breaking down the acetaldehyde. And unexpectedly, they also discovered that some herbal teas actually prolonged it, thereby lengthening the amount of time you feel awful.

So while we wouldn't usually condone glugging down too much sugary pop, if you've had a heavy night, it might be the lesser liquid evil.

Health / 10 Ways To Break Bad Habits by chuqudy(m): 8:34am On Oct 10, 2013
How to free yourself from bad habits

If you’ve been promising yourself that you’re going to ditch that bad habit for a while but have never quite got around to doing so, it could be time to take the plunge. To help ensure your success and make the process a little less painless, check out these 10 ways to break bad habits.

Break your bad habits, tip 1: Change one thing at a time

You may have a few vices you would like to be rid of, but it is important that you don’t try to break all your bad habits at once. You’re not superhuman and trying to kick a smoking habit, give up chocolate and stop biting your nails all at the same time is probably going to be hard to achieve. Instead, prioritize and pick the habit you most urgently need to change first. Also, try to set a definite goal to work towards rather than a vague “I’m going to stop being so unhealthy”. Identify what exactly it is you need to do (or stop doing) and make that your focus.

Break your bad habits, tip 2: Take it one day at a time

Setting out to break a bad habit with the thought of “I can never do so-and-so ever again” can be extremely daunting; instead, tell yourself, “I won’t eat junk food/ smoke a cigarette/ have a gossip for the rest of today”. Concentrating on kicking your habit one day at a time makes it seem a lot more achievable, and each day that you beat that habit will inspire you to try again tomorrow. For added motivation, try charting your success on a calendar, marking each day that you have resisted your habit.

Break your bad habits, tip 3: Go public


When trying to kick a bad habit, it is important to tell at least one person about it so that you have somebody to be accountable to. When you are craving a cigarette on your lunch hour it is far easier to give in to your craving if you have nobody to answer to than if you know your colleague is going to quiz you later. You could even consider starting up a blog so that others can follow your progress – having to write about your lapses for others’ viewing may help you think twice about giving in.

Break your bad habits, tip 4: Recruit a friend

Even better than just telling someone about your goal, if you know someone who’s been talking about giving up the same bad habit for a while, or who has been inspired by your decision, why not talk them into getting onboard too? Having someone else who knows what you’re going through is great motivation as you will always have someone to call for a moan or some support when the going gets tough.

Break your bad habits, tip 5: Prepare for weak moments

Although it is great to go into this positively, being too confident – and failing to prepare for those moments of weakness – could be your biggest mistake. Don’t rely on being too disciplined to fail; instead accept that we all lack willpower at times and try removing temptation to prepare for those weak moments. Clear the cupboards of chocolate, stay out of stressful situations, or get some distance from friends who encourage you to drink, for example – make it as difficult for yourself to indulge your habit as you can.

Break your bad habits, tip 6: Replace your bad habit with a good one

Cutting something out of your life entirely can be difficult, inconvenient and even plain depressing. To compensate for the sudden gap in your life, try finding substitutes for your bad habit that help to ease the pain. For example, swap junk food (like crisps) for healthy snacks (such as popcorn), or try replacing swear words with other, more innocent phrases (think Ross and Rachel’s “boohockey” and “brother pucker” in the sitcom Friends). You could also try taking up a hobby to compensate for the time you previously spent indulging a TV or shopping habit or hanging out in bars.

Break your bad habits, tip 7: Set regular reminders

Our bad habits are often so deeply ingrained in us, sometimes they can catch us unawares. To help prevent those accidental slip-ups, try setting yourself regular reminders to resist those habits. You could paint your nails, for example, as a reminder to stop biting them, or set a reminder on your work computer not to slouch. If you have a tendency for thoughtless snacking, try sticking motivational quotes on your fridge or cupboards as reminders.

Break your bad habits, tip 8: Reward your success

The key to breaking bad habits is to make the process as enjoyable and rewarding for yourself as possible. If you are having difficulty focusing on the long term benefits of breaking bad habits, arrange small rewards for yourself as you go along to help to keep you motivated. For instance, for every time you don’t give in to your habit, treat yourself to a relaxing bath, an hour of your favourite TV show or a small purchase you’ve had your eye on for ages.

Break your bad habits, tip 9: Don’t let setbacks get you down

It’s easy to let one small wobble ruin all your best intentions, so it’s important not to let any lapses get you down. So, you caved in and had a cigarette, indulged in a gossip session or ate your body weight in chocolate? Don’t dwell on it. Just because you have given into temptation once it doesn’t mean that you will again, and it doesn’t mean that you have failed. Put the past behind you, pick yourself up and carry on – we know you can do it!

Break your bad habits, tip 10: Remind yourself why you’re doing it

In order to successfully break a bad habit, you have to be sure of your reason for doing it. There’s no point in giving something up just because you think should, as you will have no motivation to keep going next time weakness strikes. Find a solid reason for breaking your habit that really means something to you – such as improving your health, appearance or relationship – and keep your goal in sight. Reminding yourself regularly of the bigger picture and the reasons why you are doing this will help you to carry on and stay strong in moments of weakness.

Health / 10 Surprising Things You May Be Addicted To by chuqudy(m): 8:20am On Oct 10, 2013
Surprising addiction 1: Surfing the internet

You may think that browsing the internet is nothing more than a pleasant way to pass some time. However, researchers in China revealed that internet addiction actually alters the brain in a similar way to addictions to drugs and alcohol. It is thought that sufferers of Internet addiction disorder (IAD) could face similar symptoms to those suffering from other addictions, including withdrawal symptoms. One study of users of internet-ready smartphones found that many are so addicted to their device they now hear “phantom vibrations” in their desperation to receive a message.

Surprising addiction 2: Falling in love

We all know that person who goes from relationship to relationship, never seeming to spend more than five minutes alone. Well, according to research, it may be that they are actually addicted to falling in love! Yep, that heart-racing, euphoric feeling of falling in love... turns out you can get hooked on it. According to psychologist Arthur Aron, who led a study investigating love addiction, falling in love activates the same system in the brain as drug addiction, making you crave that feeling again as soon as the first flush of love starts to fade.

Surprising addiction 3: Sugar

We all crave our favourite sweet treat from time to time, but did you know you may actually be addicted to snacks such as doughnuts and chocolate? Studies have suggested that when we eat sugary snacks, chemicals called opiods are released in the brain, leading to intense feelings of pleasure, and it is this feeling we often crave in the absence of sugar. In fact, according to research by a University of California team, sugar is both as damaging and as addictive as both alcohol and cigarettes.

Surprising addiction 4: Tattoos and piercings

While dabbling in body art will not necessarily lead to you becoming inked up and pierced from head to toe, many people who start out with the intention of getting one tattoo or piercing will feel compelled to get more, which can feel like an addiction. While it is debatable whether this is a true addiction, it is certainly a compulsion for many, which may be partly down to the rush of feel-good endorphins which are released during the process of getting a tattoo to help you cope with the pain.

Surprising addiction 5: Work

Although most of us look forward to the weekends, for those suffering from a work addiction these days away from the office may not be quite as treasured. While many of us jokingly use the term “workaholic”, research suggests this is a real condition that can jeopardize sufferers’ health and relationships – it is not simply a case of “working hard”. According to a Spanish study, around 12 per cent of workers in Spain suffer from the addiction, while in Japan “death by overwork” (karoshi) is thought to cause an estimated 1000 deaths per year.

Surprising addiction 6: Tanning

Research findings published in the journal Addiction Biology suggest that exposure to ultraviolet rays in the form of sunshine or tanning beds can cause changes in brain activity similar to drug addiction, keeping you hooked on tanning. According to Dr. Bryon Adinoff, an author of the study, the brain responds to UV light in areas that are associated with reward, causing some people to develop an addiction (“Tanorexia”) despite the potentially fatal health risks of tanning.

Surprising addiction 7: Video games

Across the world, teenagers are holed up in their rooms in front of television or computer screens feverishly playing video games, yet research suggests this may not be as harmless as it seems. A 2006 BBC-reported lecture revealed that 12 per cent of online gamers polled reported some addictive behaviors, while many countries across the world have set up treatment centres to deal with this growing addiction. Just like any addiction, compulsive gaming can jeopardise relationships and careers, and there have even been cases of excessive gamers dying from exhaustion.

Surprising addiction 8: Shopping

Most of us love buying something new, whether it is the latest life-enhancing gadget or a gift for a loved one. However, for some, buying new things can become a destructive addiction. Shopping addiction (or omniomania) is thought to be caused by a rush of endorphins and dopamine which cause the shopper to experience a temporary “high” which they want to experience again. Many shopping addicts use shopping as a way to escape from negative feelings or situations in their life, however the addiction can actually lead to further problems both financially and emotionally.

Surprising addiction 9: Lip balm

While not a chemical addiction such as that to alcohol and cigarettes, applying lip balm can definitely be habit-forming. This is because while lip balm offers a temporary moisture boost for dry lips, it can interfere with the process of cellular turnover and the production of natural moisture, leading you to apply more and more lip balm to counteract these drying effects. While it may not be life-threatening or recognized as an official illness, many websites and Facebook groups have been set up dedicated to this potentially expensive addiction.

Surprising addiction 10: Music

We all have our favourite songs, the ones we listen to over and over again, but did you ever consider you could be addicted to your favourite music? According to a study by researchers at McGill University, you may well be. The study revealed that when we listen to music we experience a natural “high” and our body releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter also released when people take drugs or eat pleasurable foods. According to the researchers, dopamine makes us want to repeat behaviors, which is the reason we can become addicted to our favourite music.

Career / 6 Easy Steps To Get Whatever You Want In The Nearest Future by chuqudy(m): 2:49pm On Oct 08, 2013
1. Stay committed to your tasks.

Those who remain committed to achieving their goals are capable of becoming successful in life. These people are firm and dedicated to working towards accomplishing their tasks, so they are likely to obtain positive results because of their efforts. If you are motivated and driven to succeed, then there is no stopping you. After all, it takes a firm and focused mind to reach the top. When everyone else is taking it easy and relying on mediocrity, you need to keep going and focus on your target. Once you reach your goals, you will experience a sense of fulfilment and satisfaction that no words can ever describe.

2. State and define your goals in a specific way.
Vague goals are never easy to achieve because of obvious reasons. For instance, it is next to impossible to reach a goal when you are not even sure how to get there. If you say to yourself that you want to be successful, it may be quite difficult to get to that “goal” because it is undefined. Instead, you should use determiners or specific words that define your goals in life. You may say that you aim to graduate with honors, or you plan to become the CEO of your company – just make sure that your goals are specific. By stating exactly what you want to achieve, you can start planning out the right path that will lead you toward it

3. Use your intuition to accomplish your goals.
It is your intuition or gut feel that can serve as a tool to help you become more successful in life. After all, you need to listen to yourself and be more observant as you deal with circumstances in life. Once you have set your specific goals, you should enumerate effective ways to reach them. As you go through your daily life, you will notice that some of the things you do merge seamlessly with your goals while others hardly do. So, what you need to do is to pay closer attention to a strategy that works in helping you achieve your goals. You may call it your inspiration or motivation, and make sure you get a daily dose of what takes you nearer to the finish line.

4. Adopt a positive mind.
In this tough world, the last thing you need in life is to have a negative mind. After all, negativity pulls you down and farther from your goals as it affects the way you think, act, and live your life. So, make sure you adopt positive thinking to improve yourself. Since it is impossible to change others or the world, then you should change yourself and improve your mindset. Start looking at things in a different angle, and create something worthwhile out of difficult situations that come your way. Remember that old saying “when life gives you lemons, just make lemonade”? Just apply that wise adage in your life instead of wasting your time sulking or beating yourself up.

5. Make sure your goals go well with your set of values.
One of the reasons why people are unable to achieve their goals is the conflict between their aspirations and values. You need to clarify and specify your values before you begin creating a simple or measurable goal in life. If you believe in honesty, then you need to make sure that your goal is something that requires a sense of truthfulness and integrity.

6. Set significant goals.
An attainable goal is significant and makes sense to you. It can be very difficult to remain enthusiastic and dedicated to accomplishing your goals when the thing you aspire for is one that you hardly care about. To achieve a goal, it must be something you are passionate about such as a life-changing accomplishment that can enhance your wealth, health and relationships.

Crime / Now In Court: 14-year-old Boy raped 13-year-old Boy For Having A Shitty Phone by chuqudy(m): 3:27pm On Oct 06, 2013
A teenager raped a 13-year-old boy he had intended to rob and then told him he deserved it for not having a phone worth stealing, a court heard yesterday.

The 15-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was sentenced to four years detention after previously pleading guilty to two counts of rape at Inner London Crown Court.

The would-be robber took his victim to the top floor of a block of flats in Peckham, south London, raped him and then slapped him in the face.

During the attack, the complainant repeatedly begged for his attacker to stop because it hurt, the court heard.

He replied: “Good, that’s what you get for not having a good phone. I’m going to scar you for life.”

The attack took place on the Yellow Brick Estate on 14 January, prosecutor William Eaglestone told the court.

It began when the 15-year-old, who was 14 at the time, approached the boy at a bus stop while he was on his way back from school.

He asked where he lived, where he went to school, whether he was in a gang and if he had a phone.

When the boy replied he did not have a phone, he was told to go into the block of flats so he could be searched.

After taking him up stairs to the top floor, his attacker began saying “weird stuff” and grabbing him.

Telling him to “do it like a girl”, the defendant ordered his victim to remove his boxer shorts and r*ped him.

Before letting him go, he hit the younger boy in the face and said he would come after him, ordering: “Don’t watch who I am”.

Religion / Redeemed Church Battles Christ Embassy Over Land by chuqudy(m): 3:38am On Sep 19, 2013
If you call it a holy war, you might not be far from the truth. Right now, all is not well between two popular Pentecostal churches in Nigeria. And the cause of the feud? A parcel of land.

The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), which has Pastor E.A. Adeboye as General Overseer, and Christ Embassy, headed by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, are involved in a big fight over a parcel of land situated along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The land, which the Redeemed Church claims it owns, is spread across Oloke, Asese, Maba and Gideon villages in Ogun State. RCCG says Christ Embassy has been using policemen and hoodlums to cause trouble on the land.

Authorities of the Redeemed Church are, therefore, appealing to the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. M.D. Abubakar, to use his good offices to avert an impending crisis in the villages. According to the church, a structure put up there by RCCG was earlier in the year demolished by some alleged land grabbers working for Christ Embassy.

The church noted that the appeal to the IG had become necessary so that the nation’s top cop could help resolve the matter, even as it accused the other church of deliberately employing delay tactics to frustrate the rightful owners of the land.
The crisis, it was gathered, has been on for long before reaching a head in March this year.

According to the RCCG, hoodlums, armed with dangerous weapons, (allegedly led by one Lukman Jimoh, aka Ogo Oluwa), and purportedly acting on the instructions of the Christ Embassy Church, had on March 19, this year, invaded the villages in a Volvo car and Toyota Hiace bus, destroying the headquarters of Ogun Province 8 of The Redeemed Christian Church of God under construction.

The Redeemed Church informed that the guard at the site, who reportedly escaped death by the whiskers, said the hoodlums told him to stay clear of the land, adding that the property belonged to the Christ Embassy which they were working for.
“The thugs threatened to kill me or anybody who stood in their way and boasted that nothing would happen because, according to them, they and the police have been “heavily settled,” the guard was quoted as saying.

In a petition addressed to the Inspector General of Police, the RCCG asked the IG to intervene in the case of trespass on the church land and the malicious damage to the church property.

RCCG said it had done everything within the ambit of the law to possess the land. The church said despite the fact that the land falls under the government acquisition area, the church had, in June 1999, paid ratification fees for the land to the late Alhaji Tajudeen Ogo Oluwa (Lukman’s father), who subsequently gave the church a Deed of Surrender signed by him and witnessed by one Waidi Ogunsesan (aka Damolapa).

The church said it was also given allocation of the land for 99 years by the Ogun State Government, in a letter with reference number LUD 9/LCI33/6, signed by the Director-General, Bureau of Lands and Survey, Surveyor Gbenga Ogunnoike.
Ogun State also issued a Certificate of Occupancy with the Number 025748, dated November 7, 2006 and signed by the governor, to the RCCG.

It was also gathered that, in 2004, the Redeemed Christian Church of God wrote to the Presiding Pastor of the Christ Embassy Church, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, following a programme held by the latter on the disputed land.

The letter, signed by the Assistant General Overseer, Admin/Personnel of the RCCG, Pastor A. O. Akindele, partly reads: “It has come to our notice that your organization is inadvertently trespassing on the piece of land measuring about forty acres (40 acres) along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, precisely at Oloke Area.
“We wish to inform you that this parcel of land belongs to the Redeemed Christian Church of God, and we have seized (sic) of the land for more than four years.

“We shall appreciate your prompt intervention and godly directive to one Alhaji Ogo Oluwa, who has held himself out as your agent, to desist forthwith in continuing with the trespass.”

The RCCG, it was learnt, also went ahead to solicit the help of officials of the Ogun State Government who invited the two parties with a view to settling the dispute. At the meeting, presided over by the then Director General, Bureau of Lands and Survey, Mr. Gbenga Ogunnoike and held at the Bureau’s office at Oke Ilewo, Abeokuta, the state government affirmed that the Redeemed Christian Church of God which has the duly issued Certificate of Occupancy of the land, is the rightful owner. The meeting also warned the Christ Embassy from further trespassing on the land.

But the Redeemed Church said it was shocked that in spite of the resolution, the Christ Embassy Church and its agents still went ahead to demolish the structure put up on the land, which prompted the church to write to the Inspector General.
The IG, it was learnt, directed the Eleweran Police headquarters in Ogun State to quickly resolve the matter. But RCCG said nothing tangible has been achieved since. According to the church, the hoodlums, who boasted that nothing would come out of the matter, were already being proved right.

“Meanwhile, the hoodlums are still occupying the land and they keep threatening the other owner families of other plots of land who are ready to act as witnesses for the church,” the RCCG noted.
Attempts by our correspondent to reach Christ Embassy officials were unfruitful.

nikola:

Kind sir, would love to know where/how you got the figure "80million jobless youths"? Its really mind boggling.

The Nigerian population was about 170 million by 2012. More than half of the population are jobless. Those who have job still want federal government job and would still apply. So, the 80 million I stated was even an understatement.

Dandybutix: People r here doubting an employment publication dat wz advertised in more 5 national dailies, reason being dat there a (peanut) charge of N1000, forgetting dat it costs money to create n service d website used for d employment. I encourage them not to apply at all. Nonsense!!!

You are among the people who are encouraging corruption. Are they the only people that advertise for job. Do banks and oil companies collect money from people before they can apply for job. Calculate about 80 million jobless youths in Nigeria multiplied by 1000 naira only and ask your self questions. At the end of the day, very few would be employed. I weep for this country. Nigeria needs revolution.
