Science/Technology / Re: Fantastic Four: 4 Nigerian Teenage Girls Invent Urine-Powered Generator by Contango(m): 1:07pm On Mar 19
I must commend their creativity. I give them 100% for their thought process even though what they did is garbage.

If any of them continue in the sciences and engineering, particularly when they start engineering thermodynamics and come across thermodynamic cycles and exergy analysis, they will look back and laugh at their project. grin

Nevertheless, they will need competent mentors. I think they have a very bright future

Some people don't read šŸ˜’. In the email, did you see anything about school certificates or statement of results? Biko go and read

Lol, I wonā€™t blame them.

Iā€™ve gone for an exam before only to be asked for my secondary school certificate out of the blues. I was like this wasnā€™t stated in your invite but the receptionist made a very dumb argument that when ever one is coming for any exams or interview, common sense requires you come with ALL your credentials. cheesy

OP has probably encountered one of such people hence the unrest.

Sports / Re: Leo Messi Does It Again by Contango(m): 11:43pm On Jan 15
What will pain Ronaldo fans the most is that they have absolutely no argument to fault this because result of the votes is out in the open for all to see.

I can see Beverlyjean abi na Billy Jean up there is already lost for words and scratching her head to compose even a scintilla of antithesis to prove why Messi shouldnā€™t win. Watch how her likes will shout ā€œriggingā€ even when the results are out for them to see.

The average Penduan would prefer Alvarez, Haaland, Giroud or even Lukaku to win ahead of Messi. cheesy

If this were to be a car, it would be called ā€œEnd of Discussionā€. In Mortal Kombat, it is called Brutality. In Tekken, we call it K.O. grin

I just donā€™t give a damn about anyone: There is no one I canā€™t forego. Absolutely no one. I donā€™t just give a damn about anyone. People even think I have a spiritual problem grin

Years ago, I was so freaking broke, had only one clean shirt but was still very selective of the kind of people in my life. Never begged anyone for money, never disturbed anyone, drank my garri in peace, people called me a snubā€¦I just didnā€™t give a damn.

It got worse when God finally picked my call. I earn 7 figures monthly in naira and I still maintained that ā€œnot give a damn attitudeā€ and people think Iā€™m this way cuz I have moneyā€¦not knowing Iā€™ve always being like this. Even in my current office where people try to be in good books with our Leads, DMs, Managers, EDs,ā€¦me I just dey my dey. Lol

I am skeptical of meeting dignitaries and traditional leaders because I donā€™t have the capacity to do that servile display of humility that Nigerians normally do when they meet such people. I feel they will see me as a spoilt brat.

Hello. Congrats on the birth of your child.

You can take your Mum to:
1. Deepend Cinemas. Asides the cinemas, they have fun and recreational facilities there.
2. Kada Plaza and Cinemas.
3. Mat-Ice. They also have fun games for children and adults who'd like to experience what it feels to be a child again.
4. National Museum for sight seeing.
5. Edo State Civil Service Club. They usually have nice barbecue and live band (the last time I went sha).
6. Ogba Zoo (The atmosphere is relaxing and can be used as picnic time, so you get more bonding time with your Mom).
7. Wesley Hotel. (They have a good live band). One of my faves.
8. 360 Lounge: Also nice. (You can check their page on IG).They also have an Oldies' Wednesday. kiss
9. Igun Street. She can visit there to know the arts and culture of the Benin people and also get souvenir from there.
10. Reign Arcades and Games. Nice place. They also have a nice restaurant.

There are a lot of places in Benin though, they're just hidden.

Wow, thanks. You did justice to my request šŸ™

Needs body work
Full light and rear light needs to be replaced
Car Interior needs to be changed
Side mirror to be replaced.


Reason for selling: Selling because its just taking space ever since dad died and there is no need for it anymore. We've got other cars.


Engine is sound, never fixed.
It can be tested before payment is made.

Yea. Donā€™t get me wrong though, KPMG ainā€™t bad, but it wasnā€™t worth half the stress and pressure for me. I had other priorities. I think pWC should be better cuz most of my colleagues then were always writing PwC aptitude tests

It happens... Sometimes we come to realise that all the struggle and hustle are all for what!!! Nothing but chasing after the wind. I have experienced something similar to this before.

Some years ago I was working with a very big firm(Deliotte). I was paid a fantastic salary, allowances etc. But one day I came back home and decided right there that I was leaving the job because I felt so empty. So I resigned!! My family thought I was mad or something but for me I needed peace!!

Same way I left KPMGšŸ˜‚

But I now work with an NOC though. This life sha!

Thought I should share this, although I don't even know if my vehicle has this button. I'll have to check when it is back from my Kazeem. It is currently being repaired after my folks traveled with it to Delta state and when they returned, the vehicle was singing fyuuuuuuyuh when you start the engine. šŸ˜‘

Lol. My guy complained about something like this sometime ago. He drives a Toyota Camry, 2008 or so.

I canā€™t relate though. Never had to do anything aside setting the desired temperature. My Climate system is always on ā€œAutoā€; so it toggles between recirculate and venting automatically to optimally cool the car as well as maintain air quality. I have never driven the car with the glasses down and I drive long distances a lot until my colleagues at work begged me to stop. Lolā€¦

If you have the auto feature, Iā€™d suggest you use it.

Been using that car since 2020. The only thing I changed since I bought the car is the brake pads.

That car is super reliable. Just make sure you get an accident free ride.
