Some people are there to relax,others came to enjoy the AC,others are there to do what i dont know.
Well some came as escort of 5 to deposit money,another set came to ask the customer care a 1001 question.

I pity the staff there.....wonder if they will ever have break time
Naija i hail oooo

The effects will surely be huge.Recruiters and the general public can easily identify with any change of name by a female applicant on the basis of marriage.But like Jarus said,you need to explain your reasons.Mind you some people will not accept it.....get ready to deal with it.

Always have a copy of the court oath that was taken as a reference.It wont be easy i tell you,because Nigerians have abused the oath and affidavits sworn in courts.

You are welcome....meanwhile PM me lets talk..cheers

First thing you have to know that the success of this new idea depends on you.
Go out there,meet people,shops ,eateries,and food stuff outlets that you can sell your idea to.
See you might talk to 100 people and maybe just 5 people will respond.Those 5 people are enough to kick-start.
I wish you the best.

Yes honestly they actually are and I am looking forward to getting them to retailers. If I can build a client base of steady buyers then am sure this will be great. Am also looking at the possibilities of exporting them but I am just looking out for reliable buyers overseas.

I pray God opens way for us.

Congrats Karen! Motherhood is a priviledge that God gives regardless of who we are....May you carry to term and deliver safely.

Bennyzino:
Aii this one falls in the first category.
You n your boss are at loggerheads

With my kind of boss..... i will beat the hell out of him sef.

:DThanks to technology,it unites lost family members. .

Back at the Imo State University, as undergraduates, I respected him because he was gentle, mature and always smiling stylishly. Astute! Until one particular day while we were in the studio trying to do a cartography assignment, Chinedu Omeji told me Amos Erekose was a soldier boy. I didn't believe it until I saw his teeth sparkle.

Amos joined the battle against Boko Haram, once in a while we will chat about the war and tactics. December 2014, he was made a section commander. Januray 15, 2015 was his birthday. I prayed for him and my other friend Alvan Divine Amushie who were at the war front in Sambisa.

I was shocked this morning to hear that Amos died trying to bring peace in Northeast of Nigeria.

Keep smiling bro. It's sad to lose young brilliant men like you. You promised to fight to the end! Rest in peace Soldier.

AN HONEST man here lies at rest
As e'er God with his image blest;
The friend of man, the friend of truth,
The friend of age, and guide of youth:
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm'd,
Few heads with knowledge so informed:
If there's another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this

I wonder how she will be cooking and serving this man.....

Top of the morning to everyone....I came across this picture today and decided to share.
Someone should please caption the picture.

This is beautiful.
Please who has visited the QUA FALLS in Cross River? That is a wonderful sight to behold!

Some should please give a name to this picture

Yea,very true...Well i will still give him a thumbs up for passing the exam..Its not cheap too,neither is it easy to pass.
I guess he took the bold step against all odds.

ThatITguru:
You right from an angle.

The reason telcom coys require those Cisco certifications is cause it gives requisite about the tekcom industry.
Getting these certifications ain't cheap.
But being unemployed ain't funny

Is this a common practice with telecoms? or some companies will tend to overlook the experience? my problem with telecom and IT companies is that alot of them consider certification against the real experience when they are recruiting....which is not always good

For me i think that CCNA and CCNP comes handy at entry level.....but the CCIE is more like experienced based.i stand to be corrected though
cheers

mumbasa:
Do you have a job?
becos i think it is useless to have a CCNA, CCNP , and CCIE without having a job.

Remember it is normally 5 years experience working with Cisco, Firewalls Router and switches then CCNA,CCNP, CCIE is an added advantage.

If you have no job experience you will be interviewed for entry level IT positions with CCNA holders
