Health / Re: How To Fix A Whitlow Deformed Finger Nails by DarryOsh(m): 8:47pm On Apr 21, 2016 |
CashNaira96: Since you say it still gives you pain, I wonder if this is whitlow. and your picture does not show the finger very well. Anyway, my sister had something similar for years (not whitlow. Some infection, maybe) . She went to the hospital and all that and the nail continued to grow so weird and it often gave her pains. Eventually, she decided to just forget about it and leave it. Then one day a total storage saw it and was like, "Omg! I know that thing. I had it for years. " then she told my sister how she got it treated. It was a 'bizarre' treatment. But she tried it. In weeks the rough finger fell off and she has her beautiful nails back. But treatment was painful. 1 Like |

In summary, you are not comfortable with how you are treated by your organisation. But the only way I know to solve relationship impasse is through dialogue, raising my concerns, listening to the other party's concern. I cannot advice you to do anything rash that will cost you your job. I don't know the dynamics of your workplace and I'm am working based on the limited info you provided (which I am assuming is true). For me, 'no dialogue' is not an option. I doubt if I can work with a firm (or have any form of relationship with an individual or entity) where I am not allowed to dialogue and raise my concerns when necessary. But that is me. And of course, I have to consider my situation. For you, it's just a one year work relationship. Maybe you can endure it. But let me help you a little further. Maybe you look at it through the lens of what is at stake. Ask yourself the following questions within the context of your situation: What is the best thing that can happen if I raise my concerns? (e.g. Management listens and treats us better) What is the worst thing that can happen if I raise my concerns? (e.g.I get fired) What is the best thing that can happen if I don't raise my concerns? (e.g I endure the current situation for 8 months more). What is the worst thing that can happen if I don't raise my concerns? ( e.g they take it as a cue to bring more crazy rules and eventually I suffer a breakdown). Answer the questions truthfully based on your situation. Answers will be different for each individual. That may work for you. It works for me in most (if not all) situations. Cheers! 52 Likes 5 Shares |

Geofavor:Since you enjoy this what if game, let me indulge you with one of my weird what ifs. To the worms and bacteria in your gut, your body is their universe. Maybe they have their own economy, government etc. Maybe they have their own technologies, extracting minerals from your digestive juices and bones and they make their own machines and all that. Your stomach is their earth and somhow they managed to successfully send a few of their species to the liver and back, and they are like "oh, we went to the moon". The heart is their Jupiter, the kidneys are Saturn and all other organs are considered planets or moons or one galactic body or the other. They experience drought when the person whose body they inhabit decides not to drink water for some reason (maybe he is binge-watching season 3 of game of thrones and is too engrossed to get up and drink water (mind you, one hour for us is like a year for them). They experience a tsunami when the person belches. They experience an earthquake when the person gets into a fight and gets punched in the tummy. The person takes some drugs and the side effects causes some of them to die and some fall sick and have heart attack. They have their own Lionel Messi, Einstein, Agbani, John legend, Kim kardashian, Shekau etc. They have their own Dubai, Abuja, North Pole, black race, Hispanics, white, e.t.c. Now what if our entire universe exists in the gut of a much more advanced being. And there are 7 billion of those beings (i.e. 7 billion universes) in existence. Our being is already old and has some years left to live. When he dies our universe will come to an end. But the few years he has left is, for us, the 5 billion years scientists say our universe has before it ends. Maybe one day he will take combantrin to de-worm ( de-human) and kill half of the world population. Or maybe our being is fighting to get rid of us, like a person with cancer tries to get rid of cancerous cells. Maybe what we experience as global warming is chemotherapy which doctors are trying to use to save our being's life (so, maybe global warming is not as a result of human actions). Maybe we are not as 'big' as we think we are (even though we invented smartphones and aeroplanes). Maybe to some other advanced beings, we are just worms in the gut. And we'll never know because they have no reasons to contact us. I mean, we certainly don't spend time crying to communicate with the worms and bacteria in our guts. Ps: I know there are 'plot holes' in this hypothetical situation but take it as a rough sketch. 2 Likes |

So if the universe is an experiment, then you are just one of the variables. You are dispensable. Maybe you are conditioned to do everything you are doing. Maybe you don't have free will. Maybe the thoughts you have of the universe being an experiment were planted in your mind by the so-called scientists carrying out this so-called experiment. Heck, we could go on and on... |

There are many 'what ifs'. Unfortunately, in our limitedness has humans, we can't have answers. At least, not now. (Note: as a Christian, I believe we will get answers when we get to heaven) Trust me, you don't want to know the weird 'what ifs' that I have thought up in my mind too. So I will tell you what you can do. Forget the What ifs and live your life as best as you can. cheers! Now go to bed. 1 Like |

Tobeychi:For now, you can upload unofficial transcript. i.e your result print - out from 100 level till final year, semester by semester, showing all the courses you took and the grades you got. However, you may want to start processing your real transcript cos you will eventually have to tender it before you get an offer. For now, unofficial transcript is OK. Does anyone have info on the leadership questionnaire. I sent a mail. No response yet. 1 Like 1 Share |

Celebrities / Re: Malaika Becomes Tecno Mobile Ambassador (photos) by DarryOsh(m): 3:55pm On Mar 02, 2016 |
onatisi: First, keep it in mind that smartphones are tech gadget, representing technological advancement. Smartphone are not food and other basic necessities. If tecno decides to sit down and be making N15,000 smartphones, then I think they may be making a mistake. The implication of this is that they will make mediocre phones only. No advanced features that come with high-end phones. Why? 1)They will have to charge more for the advanced features and their so-called target market can't afford it. 2)Their so-called target market do not even need these features. The average 'local' will not use advanced features. Do you think they use ordinary google maps that is available on even low-end smart phones? And even if they will use these features, can they pay for them? Before the sad decline of Nokia, it was a top-tier brand, respected by the elite. Yet, they ruled the the low-tier segment as well. Why? The lower classes typically aspire to enjoy what the upper classes enjoy. If Tecno chooses to stay in the low-tier and Samsung, for instance, decides to compete with them in that tier (in addition to the high tier where they currently have lots of clout), what do you think will happen. These so-called target market will migrate to Samsung. In summary, if the image of your brand is synonymous with the elite, the lower classes will aspire to it. If, on the other hand, your brand is synonymous with the 'locals', then you have lost the elite for life and may eventually lose the locals. |
Celebrities / Re: Malaika Becomes Tecno Mobile Ambassador (photos) by DarryOsh(m): 3:06pm On Mar 02, 2016 |
onatisi: That exactly is my point! How much spending power does the 'ordinary Lagos tout' (again, to borrow your words) have? If 16 of them buy tecno's smartphones for N15,000 each, that is equal to one person buying a single samsung galaxy S6 edge. Smartphones, to a great extent, are luxury items. I think it would have made more sense to strive to position tecno as a top tier (or, at worst, mid-tier) brand. |
Celebrities / Re: Malaika Becomes Tecno Mobile Ambassador (photos) by DarryOsh(m): 2:03pm On Mar 02, 2016 |
onatisi: Yes, I guess that's the point. I just wonder if its a right direction to take. Among his peers, I'm not sure Malaika has the largest fan base - or even the second or third largest for that matter. Aside that, I'm not sure building your brand to become synonymous with "local yoruba people" (to borrow your own words) is a smart idea. |

shadrach77: So what if he has a passport from the moon or Jupiter? Personally, I could care less about Pasuma or Malaika (and most Nigerian artistes) Why did payporte sign Olajumoke as an ambassador instead of me or you who are well educated (you are well educated, right? ) ? Nobody knows us. By virtue of providence (or maybe calculated publicity stunt as some people allege) Olajumoke is in a better position to promote their brand. Full stop! So, don't make it sound like I am trivializing the importance of education. When the chips are down, at the end of the day, its all about promoting the brand. Ps: I'm assuming that that part of 'American Passport' is some sort of sarcasm. What's the big deal about the american passport? 2 Likes |

timilehin007: Learned or not, what matters is the image. I wouldn't sign Pasuma as a brand ambassador, but if I had to choose between both of them, It will to be Pasuma. My opinion though. I want to believe Tecno thought about it very well before arriving at this decision. They must have their reason. |
Celebrities / Re: Malaika Becomes Tecno Mobile Ambassador (photos) by DarryOsh(m): 11:51am On Mar 02, 2016 |
I'm still trying to figure out the business strategy that informed this move by Tecno. I am struggling to see how Malaika will improve the image of their brand. |
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Would You Rather Be Under Employed Than Self Employed? by DarryOsh(m): 10:32am On Mar 02, 2016 |
fyneboi79: in the most simple terms, underemployment means that you are willing and capable of being more productive that you are. Imagine that you are a highly skilled astronaut in Nigeria. Unfortunately, you are skilled in a field in which you cannot feasibly practice your profession without help from government, established bodies etc. What do you do? You buy a taxi and become a taxi driver. This is serious underemployment. And, yes, this is an extreme example. There are many simple examples that we can relate with in Nigeria Ask a lot of those guys you see selling stuff in traffic, they have one skill or the other which would have made them a lot more productive in an ideal world. And some of them have been selling in traffic for years. You may want to introduce your 'they are lazy' argument at this point. Few years back we heard about how PhD holders scrambled for Dangote's truck driver jobs. They would drive trucks for dangote and after some years, the truck would become theirs.i.e. they would become self employed as truck drivers/owners. But do you know how much it costs to train to and become a PhD holder? Do you know how much more productive a PhD holder can be? They should be teaching leaders of tomorrow, conducting research in labs innovating and advancing the cause of humanity. If, as you say, the only reason why this is so is because 'they are lazy', then it must mean that laziness is peculiar to Nigerians. Otherwise, you may want to point out an economically advance country where PhD holders are employed as truck drivers. 1 Like |
