Dear Sir,

Letter of Resignation

Enough is Enough.

Thank you.

Im not gonna fault the PDP on this. APC in government needs to be checked every damn time.

Trust no bloody polithiefcian!

People clamoring for Sarakis blood are the true bigots.

Clamour for Buhari's blood first, before going for saraki.

When Buhari lied in his own asset shiit, what did all ye Wailers do?

modath:
He is not only free to disobey,& dishonor his party,he is also at liberty to bite the fingers that fed him just like Dino Melaye .... They are both grown men who can bear the CONSEQUENCES of their actions.

We only hope that he remembers that he was a FINANCE person under the most corrupt govt in Africa when his "past" & recent "sins" begin to find him out

......Anyone can form their own deduction from this.

N.B; All you wailers from a particular geo zeo/tribe who are supporting this travesty, i do not blame you, there is a certain reason your political fortunes are the way they are...

You are not used to having any central figure to rally round, inspire "loyalty & "respect", everyone is a certain colour "capped" chief....

You are a typical wailer.

Man u don hear am

Some just don't want to learn any skill, just sitting down at home, hoping for the Almighty government job to come knocking.

Slowly but surely, I'm starting to believe in the president

Hmmm, will our almighty, can't do no wrong, hero of opiate democracy, destroyer of PDP, benevolent Supreme Leader Mohammadu / Mohammed Buhari put those who failed the integrity test under his favorite new word? #Probe?

Most people enjoy insulting and degrading people who smoke. Well, I see through the hypocrisy very well.

Keep degrading smokers, your personal life will be greatly rewarded

Sometimes the littlest everyday conveniences are the biggest and most life-affirming. These are 15 tiny conveniences you deserve.
1. A Spare Sweater

Spontaneous trip to the movie theater with your friends? Boom, that spare sweater you left in your car last week saves you from shivering throughout the film.
2. The "Undo" Button in Gmail

It only took 25 years, but now we can undo an email we sent too soon, or accidentally sent as "reply all." Saving face digitally is possible — and it's wonderful.
3. Sleep-In Sundays

The ability to stay in bed on Sunday, especially after an activity-packed (or club-hopping) Saturday, is the best feeling. What's more convenient than getting to stay in bed?
4. A Well-Timed Breath Mint

You're about to leave for that interview and you're out of gum. The old pack of breath mints at the bottom of your purse, or your fastidious friend who always has gum, saves the day.
5. Easy to Remember Wi-Fi Passwords

Too often, you go to your friend's house or a coffee shop, ask for the Wi-Fi password, and you're directed to a sheet with 80 characters. That one friend or corner cafe with a simple and memorable password always wins.
6. Neighbors Who'll Pet-Sit

Ever have a neighbor who loves your pet and is willing to feed and play with them when you're away? If not, you deserve it, because it is so grand.
7. A Tiny Park

Walking around the neighborhood and pass by a pocket park with a welcoming, sun-dappled bench and a place to curb your dog? Take it up on its offer of a lovely, convenient experience.
8. A Bonus Book

You finally stow your bags and drop into your seat in a cranky flop sweat. Then, you find a new book in the seat pocket in front of you. Now you've got something to read without buying the Wi-Fi!
9. Free ATMs

Going out without cash is an uneasy feeling: what if we end up in a cash-only joint? Stumbling upon your bank's ATM and not getting a fee is a winning moment. There should be a free ATM on every block.
10. Ice in the Freezer

There should be ice in the freezer at all times. What can possibly be worse for Friday night cocktails than mixing up a martini, only to find there's no ice to shake it? You deserve a cold martini.
11. A Shady Parking Spot

You make a sluggish summer afternoon trip to the grocery store, then pull into the lot to find a big tree-shaded spot near the entrance. What a relief! Not melting the ice cream in an overheated car is convenient, indeed.
12. Instant Tissues

Face tissues like Kleenex are so important. Ever been in the car when a sneezing fit strikes? Having some tissues on-hand always is something we all deserve.
13. Working Motion Sensors

Why do so many public bathrooms fail at this? You madly waive your hands in front of the infrared eye and the sink/paper dispenser/flush doesn't work. When a motion sensor does work, though? It's so nice.
14. A Pen When You Need It

That pen at the bottom of your purse probably doesn't work. Trying to type that information into your phone might look rude. That friendly face with a spare pen you can borrow is a saint. We should all be so lucky.
15. Naps

The holy grail of tiny conveniences is that micro-nap you get to take on your lunch break, or the well-earned nap in the middle of a deep spring cleaning, or the luxurious nap on the beach chair during vacation. It's the convenience we should all take for ourselves without fear or guilt.

What some of your favorite tiny conveniences?

The federal ministry of health warns that smokers are liable to.......

A 20-year old house maid, Chioma Onyegili, was hacked to death yesterday by a 31-year-old son of her madam, Okechukwu (surname withheld), for refusing to have sex with him in Onitsha, Anambra state.

The incident occurred at about 9.30 pm Wednesday at 56 Ziks Avenue Fegge, Onitsha, when the suspect now in police custody used a cutlas to kill the maid for refusing to accept his advances.

Daily Sun gathered that the deceased girl was living with the 70-year-old mother of the accused who always demanded that the girl sleep with him, which she always resisted. He thereafter slashed the girl on her neck with a machete.

The Divisional Police Officer in charge of Fegge Police Station, Mr. Rabui Garba, a Superintendent of Police who confirmed the incident, said that when the information reached his office he dispatched a team of detectives who swung into action and arrested the culprit.

He said that the suspect would be transferred to State Investigation Department (CID) for further investigation on the matter while the deceased corpse has been deposited to an undisclosed hospital mortuary in Onitsha.

The suspect had confessed to the crime, saying that he had killed some other persons in the past in a similar manner. He claimed that he did not not what pushed him to kill the girl, hinting that he may have been hardened by his past murders.

It would be recalled that two days ago, a woman in Okpoko (Ogbaru LGA of the state) was arrested for using a kitchen knife to inflict injuries on a maid’s private part for frequent night urinating.

Thank you!

In our quest to accumulate stuff, we forego the real life standards of community, friendship, support and love.

I won't dwell much on relationships in this update, I'll stick to friendship.

You can smell it in the air, you can feel it deep in your bones; no matter how much you try to circumnavigate the truth, its glaring that we have evolved from open and lifelong friendship system to a more capitalist system based friendship.

Let me illustrate, in the near past, all friendships required was a smile, an open heart, then everything falls into place. But today's friendship leans more towards material value. The question one asks anytime someone declares interest to be friends with you is: What benefits (Not necessarily sexual) can my friendship with you give me on the long run?

Inasmuch as the planet is involved in a capitalist system, your friendships should remain heartfelt rather than materialist - The Quest For Stuffs.

What is your opinion?

Have a great August the 5th!

u r been used like a moppin stick, ida u bear it or start lookin for anoda job.

Thanks for been sincere, I have already started applying!

I secured a job just immediately after my NYSC, after 2 months of working, my coworker quit suddenly. I suspect sexual abuse on the side of my boss but I shrugged it off.

Now its 3 months, he refuses to hire a replacement, instead he insists I do the duties of administration, customer care and my original duty.

As I type this, the office phone goes home with me every day including weekend. These are certainly not what my initial duties are.

To make matters worse, he recently started complaining and issuing coded threats that I'm slacking. Anytime I attempted talking back to him that I'm doing duties other people are meant to do, he changes the conversation and claim im behaving like a woman.

Did I tell you he also enjoys making me work waaay past 5pm which was the closing time we agreed on when I initially took the job.

To be fair, we having been trying to hire an administrative assistant and customer care lady, but as I got to realize, he sabotages that effort by attempting to sniff their pants. If the lady is not attractive but smart, she is not required. But if its a pretty lady, then she is given major consideration.

The nail on the icing is that my workload increased drastically after 2 months, helping his wife and friend with their business as well.

I'm I been used?

I prefer Benson switch. What about you?

What is not included in this write up is that the European Union shot itself in the foot with the sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation.

Russia replied the European Union sanctions by placing agricultural trade embargo on some agricultural products produced by the European Union.

The farmers in Europe need their local market to survive. hence the flimsy excuse used to ban imports from Nigeria.

The planet is a global community, the ripple effect of any crap like terrorism and sanctions is definitely bound to affect everyone one way or the other.

My two cents

Is the question even necessary? Nairaland be dumbing Nigerians down.

Sometimes, it feels strange to have another set of ideology different from what you were brought up with.

Francesca and I are the best of lovers, totally committed to each other and we held no secrets. It felt natural to share every aspect of my life with her. She is also a very good listener.

We enjoy playing snooker (Pool) together. She always beats my ass Our pool playing is always followed up by beer; Carlsberg or Guinness whatever. Then we begin to connect with our deeper feelings.

On this Thursday, we went to our usual hangout spot, a mall around the area that has a pool table. She ordered a Carlsberg beer while I settled for shots of vodka. We played some games, teased ourselves, you know… bonding with the heart. Then we got a bit serious and talked about our past experience with been different. I told her about how my agnostic views built up.

Ever since Junior Secondary School, right up from JSS1 to SS3, I can’t count the number of times I’ve been beaten for not going to church by my teachers and parents.

The been tortured by the people I hold in high esteem over religious beliefs was the last straw that broke the chain. I reasoned that this is another form of slavery, a more disastrous kind. I call it the Slavery of the Mind.

There was a time I was flogged about 13 lashes for not attending a Sunday church service, I got really mad and told the pastor to his face that God hates people like him, people who forces others to do things against their wish. I didn’t cry, I was furious! How dare he? If God felt church attendance was compulsory, didn’t the foolish pastor think it will be among the Goddam ten Commandments? What the Bleep!

Till I graduated, I ensured my legs never took me near any form of worship center, I was always like ‘Bleep that shit’ The God I want to believe in is not the type these Nigerian pastors peddle.

Did I tell you that it was common knowledge that the pastor who kept beating me for not attending church service was also cheating on his wife? Having sex with his wife’s sister and some of the young students? He is also unkind to his immediate nuclear family. Yes, I will judge.

Francesca always enjoyed stories like that, she teased me about the beatings. She was shocked about it as well. Playfully, she pulled me closer and grabbed my ass… She whispered to my ears, does it still hurt?

I was turned on right there, I nodded my head a bit and said yes, looking like a doll. She then hugged me and licked my ear lobe playfully. Francesca made me enjoy public display of affection without getting shy or giving a Bleep about what others feel.

After an hour or two playing, we took a short ride to a friend’s place, had a few more drinks, a few joints as well and life felt good right there. The drive home was quite funny cos I was so high I couldn’t see. Had to use one eye to focus on the road… Everything was blurry as Bleep.

I knew tonight was gonna be one of the special nights cos anytime I sincerely open up to her, she enjoys it so much it shows when we eventually start making love. She turns into something else that makes a man go crazy with want, desire and pleasure. As we got home, I played a sensual melodious song that has no lyrics, just sounds.

You know that kind of feeling you have when everything is perfect, we had been having so much sex lately, tonight, we were content to lie in each other’s arms, naked, and relaxed. Knowing we had each others backs.

A storm was brewing.

Hi

Remilekun101:
Come and continu

Awwwww, I will try to post every other day. Work has been quite tasking that's why I haven't posted another update.

Thanks so much for enjoying my story. Appreciate you big time.

exactly, just as she did during the Beloved GEJ tenure.

Labels like that are used to silence voices

Screw those who scream Wailing wailers and chant Change at the same time

Hypocrites

What hurts more than rejection?

Multiple rejections.

Being told over and over again that you’re not right or not good enough for whatever reason is painful—and at some point, you have to begin wondering where the problem lies.

One angle that needs to be explored, despite the discomfort, is whether you’re the one doing something wrong. The good news is warning signs are pretty clear. Here are three red flags—and more importantly, what to do about them.


1. You Never Make it Past the Final Round Interview

This can be an incredibly demoralizing situation to be in. It’s also a huge red flag that I doubt you’ll miss. You’re clearly doing something right to get all the way to the final round interview. So, what’s preventing you from sealing the deal?

Frequently, when you get this far along in the process, you’re only competing with one or two other people. Plus, it’s likely already been established that you have the right experience or qualifications for the role. The last thing, then, is how well you understand the position, the company, and the team. If you’re not getting past the final round, you’re probably not getting across what you know about at least one of these.

This means you need to dial up your company research. Do your homework on the company by reading everything you can get your hands on about it, ask thoughtful questions about the role throughout the process, and make an effort to really connect with the team and show them just how well you’ll fit in. Finally, don’t forget that all this only matters if you actually show off what you know during the interview. Here’s a checklist to make sure you’re getting across everything you need to.


2. You Only Get to the Phone Screen

You definitely have a polished resume, because you’re landing plenty of first round interviews and phone screens, but strangely, you’re not progressing beyond that. What gives?

Your skills and experiences are obviously eye-catching and relevant enough to get someone’s attention, so it’s not that you don’t have anything to talk about. Instead, you’re probably not conveying your stories well. Sometimes it’s all about the delivery.

In the end, the only way to address this is through practice. You have the raw goods. Now, polish them up by going back to the basics and answering practice interview questions aloud with a friend. Read up on how to structure a response to a behavioral question here. Then, go to town with these 31 common interview questions.


3. You’re Not Getting Calls Period

Assuming you’re applying for jobs you are qualified for, not getting any callbacks after numerous applications is disheartening. Something is up, but with so little information to work off of, it’s hard to say what.

Of course, your first step is to check your materials. Tailor your resume and cover letter to the position, then put your editor cap on and follow these tips to make sure what you’re sharing will impress your audience. If you’re doing that already and the problem doesn’t lie with your documents, you’re probably not networking enough.

Networking turns people off for lots of different reasons. It’s uncomfortable. It’s nerve-racking. It’s not meritocratic. It also works. And, right now, that’s what you need to focus on. Conduct informational interviews with people at your target companies, and put your immediate network to work by letting them know what you’re looking for. Here’s a template that will help you out.



It takes perseverance to get through a long job search without going out of your mind. The key is to constantly be focusing on and reevaluating how you can better tackle the problem in front of you—even if the problem is, well, you

Dante - Pre NYSC
The weeks rolled by, to be honest, I had no plans for the NYSC that was beating around the corner. My relationship with Ngozi followed the natural path of dissolution, I practically ignored her gradually as the time ticked off.

We both knew we couldn't have anything more than plain sex. That's all I could offer her, and I made sure she understood that right from the start. There was virtually no breakup, we simply parted ways.

I was single again.

To be honest, the major reason for my been single was due to my favorite girl of all, Francisca.

Francisca was just perfect. Perfect smile, perfect physique, perfect mind, and we were compatible in all aspects including sexually. She is the only lady I felt I could talk to without censorship or fear of been misunderstood.

We had loads of moments of laughs, moments of serenity. We could gist about religion for hours! It was like we were both searching for God. Franka was born in a Christian home, raised as a strict Catholic sort of church and yet, she fell out with the church.

She was the perfect girlfriend all boys wanted to have. And she loved me, and loved me deeply.

Franka, she always called each other 'Babe' and we had little to hide from each other. Her friends always wanted us over when they are itching for a drink and good fun company. To clear the record, I never had sex with any of her friends, I cheated on her about twice, and that was done out of the anger and hurt I felt at a stage in our relationship.

Whenever I listen to Ne-Yo's Over My Head, it brings me memories of the time I met her for the first time.

Here is the lyrics of Ne-Yo's Over My Head, it should give you a general idea of how it all went down.


"Over My Head"

So I had someone, you had someone
We started out as nothing more than friends ooh

But as the time got spent
I started liking spending time with you more than him ooh

And it wasn't what I meant to do
Started thinking about kissing you
Accidentally, accidentally ooh

Suddenly out of the blue
Guess she was thinking about it too
Cause ya kissed me and he saw it

Damn, damn

[Chorus]

I might be over my head, a little over my head
But I kinda like it (kinda like it)
This is not what I expected, a little over my head
But I kinda like it (kinda like it)
I kinda like it
Oh said I kinda like it oooh

So of course he started acting crazy
Wound up punching you right in the eye ooh

He felt like the man but I felt bad
So I called you later to apologize ooh ooh

And it wasn't what I meant to do (oh no)
Start thinking about seeing you
Accidentally (ooh), accidentally (ooh) ooh

Suddenly out of the blue
Guess she was thinking about it too
Cause you came to get me and he saw you
Damn damn damn damn

[Chorus]
This is so crazy yet so hard
They're fighting over me in the front yard
I don't know who I should root for
But there's one thing that I do know
[End]

Her openness and transparent nature attracted me to her. Her previous relationship was crappy, the unfortunate dude didn't respect her as a lady should be respected. A slap here and there, abusive relationship with a slice of sexual abuse. I can imagine her life been a living hell. It was one of those terrible days when she was running away from her boyfriend who wanted to beat the shot out of her that she came running into my hands, into my agnostic life.

The day still lingers in my memory like it was yesterday. I met her on the road walking really fast, from her expression, I had this feeling she was running away from someone, I could just feel it. I saw a look of fear masked with a sad smile. I had to use my brain and think fast.

Well, stopping her walk, I asked her to join me for a drink at a place not within our immediate environment. That's what my intuition told me to do, and it worked. We entered a taxi and went to some a bit far from the area. After a few drinks and laughter, she started telling me her story... The abusive relationship, friends betrayal and all. I felt hurt, she doesn't look like the kind of person that deserved the ill treatment life was dishing out.

And just like that, we were inseparable. To make it juicier, she was a silent agnostic. Her trust for what people called God was waning really fast. We would talk about how we think the earth should be and how God must be getting this whole system wrong. For real, when we traded what I called war stories (personal experience), I felt my life was privileged compared to her own life.

Her mum died as a result of over believe in the healing power of the church, she had to work at odd places just to make ends meet. She was a fighter, although a gentle, sexy and beautiful fighter. Sex with her was heavenly, a man can't ask for more than this. Even the lady I cheated on her with couldn't hold a match to her candle.

I was in love.

Nice one Dante... Nice one

Awwwww, thank Remilekun.
