"hook up with" in this context means?

Someone to roll with/show you the sights and sound of Aberdeen?

Someone to lodge with?

Kriptic:
Forget o. I left in Naija and came into Aberdeen with indomie, garri, egusi, ogbono, knorr cubes, suya pepper, crayfish, bitterleaf, groundnut, iru and even native ogiri sef. I just couldn't be stopped mehn. I just gave the customs folks at naija the sweetest smile and told them I'm a student and the woman let me go like that (still can't believe my luck). Then my bags were not even checked in Aberdeen. I just picked up my bags from the baggage claim and left the airport like that.

So, if you can carry them (except for the palm oil, that might be pushing your luck too far), by all means go ahead.

Guys, my offer letter landed today as well. How I wish I can carry my current company along. They have been so good to me. Made me who I am (careerwise) today.

My prayer for them is for their vision to be established - becoming the biggest in the world over.

forkadict:
Many thanks bro. Your own sef dey come. Just try relax. I know say e no easy... but just try. E go come.

Dat was how the horror of checking my mail every ten minutes came to a sudden end.

I thank God, I got closure on this cos I just can't imagine it spilling into next year.

And a big big shout out to my homeboy @saved2serve

forkadict:

Dear Nairalanders,

I read a post last week wherein a Nairalander mentioned the positive impact of the internet on his daughter's health. I am here to give my own testimony, but this time, the positive impact of the Internet on my child's education. This is very notable to me because many people, especially those who believe in hardwork are always too quick to point out the dangers in the Social Media, particularly, Facebook. My son is attending one of the best secondary schools in Lagos and to be honest, the teachers are doing so much there that I couldn't think of a better school where my child could be more improved. At a time, the mother and I thought his grades were ridiculous because there were so many brilliant students in their class. We made several visits to the school where they made us know that they had already spotted him as being far below average and had since concentrated much effort on him.

To our dismay, none of the 'efforts' worked. We decided to try him on assignments for lower classes but he failed woefully. Two home tutors stopped coming abruptly when they noticed they were not getting any improvement to justify their pay. We got worried that even if we were able to push him through secondary school, he might never be able to cope with any higher education. I decided to speak to my Pastor's wife (not on spiritual grounds but because she is an educationist and also owns a school). Surprisingly, she referred me to a Facebook group of educational consultants. Right in the church, she opened her phone and invited me to the group. I had no internet access at that moment, so I promise to take necessary steps on reaching home.

Still with great unbelief, I decided to give it a try. I was accepted to the group and I was able to post my son's problem. Within three hours, I got great hints (which even my son's teachers had never thought about). I was a little skeptical because the most convincing contributor's recommendations required about six weeks of intensive exercise for us and the child. To cut the whole story, the solution to my son's problem came from a Facebook group and the most outstanding fact is that I didn't spend a dime. It is just as if something was cast out of my son. Now he even reads in the loo and answers questions like a genius... I have made personal contact with one of the consultants to give my testimony but I decided to share it here to corroborate the fact that the INTERNET CAN RESHAPE BLURRY DREAMS... Use it wisely

I hereby propose to create a new rule that forbids anyone from asking for money for money - especially investments and donations - on Nairaland later today. The enforcement of this rule will completely block the activities of many scammers. Any objections?

Fellow Nairalanders,

With great joy in my heart I give this brief account of how the internet helped restore my baby's health and prevented possible long-term complications. My lovely eight-month old baby suddenly began having seizures few days ago. It was so severe that it worried me and her mum so much that we though it was a spiritual attack. She would suddenly stiffen her neck and shake with great energy (seemingly unconscious), and then return to normal mode in less than a minute.

It happened like 3-5 times every 15minutes. Everytime it occurred, we felt like weeping as the ever lovely baby seemed to have been strangely hijacked. We rushed to the hospital and some blood tests were recommended. On seeing the results, the Doctors quickly knew it was a brain infection coupled with Malaria. Although some of them were worried that all other symptoms of Malaria and infection were absent in the baby - no high temperature, no yellow eyes, baby actively playing and sucking. The doctors immediately commenced treatment with strong antibiotics passed directly into her bloodstream + antimalarial drugs. Twice daily she was receiving the medications but on the third day, they got more worried that there was no improvement.

My wife was drastically losing her joy while everyone else was praying. On the evening of that third day, my wife picked her phone and began an extensive research on Google.com for possible causes of such condition. She stumbled on a research paper that presented the Negative Effects of Soybean in Babies. This paper caught her attention because two days before the seizures began, she introduced Soybean into our baby's food formula (on a Doctor's recommendation). The article stated that Soybean inhibits the production of Trypsin which is very essential for infants and also triggers irregular impulse in the brain neurotransmitters thereby causing frequent seizures which, after a long period, could render the child epileptic. The paper added that the inhibition of Trypsin could lower the immune system (which could make doctors believe it to be an infection).

We immediately stopped feeding the baby with the formula but we didn't notify anyone of the finding to allow a continued treatment. By the following day, the seizures started fading and in just two days, it went away completely. We are still in awe with this discovery while we are very glad that the baby is back to normal life, but I felt - this might help someone someday.

The Petroleum Technology
Development Fund wishes to clarify
that, contrary to some media reports,
the Fund has not cancelled or intends to
stop its Overseas Scholarship Scheme
in the immediate. This is in view of the
continued relevance of the scheme in
building a crop of well-trained Nigerian
professionals to effectively manage the
critical sectors of the oil and gas
industry as well as the academia.


The intention of PTDF in reviewing the
operations of the scheme through its
training domestication drive is to
increase the involvement of local
universities whose facilities and
faculties have over the years been
massively upgraded by the Fund.

DivineU:
Have you gotten any alert yet? What can really be delaying this alert after 2 months? I know i gave a right acct number and also monitored when they wrote it down.

phyllosilicate:
He said only in the "North". That's been sentimental and not an analysis. The first HOD of my department in a reputable school in the south, was an HOD when he only had an Msc.
.
He should have done his analysis without mocking a people.

Blakjewelry:
Some might be wishing their daughter got kidnapped too

DeeBlacque:
Come to think of it, why (as an organization), will I reimburse those I know will make it to my payroll? Come on guys, for those of us who haven't received any refund, we're dancing our way to Bonny already, cos our employment letters have been written with permanent markers. Does someone get the code here?
For those who have already been paid, ................*dodges bottle*... I mean................. *dodges slippers*... but wait...............*dodges blow*...............*runs away********

sp500:
eeyah, soorry. I complained some time ago but I've been paid so I don keep quiet. try sending a mail to them with the date of your interview. it may help

Toks2008:
Before i go ahead to list these places,i must state emphatically that women are women. I know plenty of people in great relationships that have met in places like pubs and dance clubs. same goes for super markets and sidewalks. there are skanky bitches every where and there are awesome chicks everywhere so the list does not apply 100%.

Nevertheless,in my opinion,i have meticulously sieved out great places where men can have a real good chance of meeting ladies who will most likely make good house wives and mothers and while some may sound realistic to you,some may sound odd and outright funny but i will try my best to give a concise and brief reason why i chose these places so lets take a ride.


1.The food market: You will likely see ladies who are well groomed in kitchen affairs in the food market especially in the section where great experience is needed in deciphering good food items from bad ones and of-course a lady who understands how to stock the kitchen will have a good idea of how to make good meals and the way to a man's heart stil remains through his stomach.

2.Catering Schools: Trust me,most ladies in catering schools are definitely interested in learning the kitchen tricks and i can't stress it enough that a lady who knows how to cook very well will definitely make her husband happy.

3.The mid-week religious gathering: Yes you will be wondering why i chose the mid-week. The truth is that any lady can go to church on Sundays or to jumait service on Fridays but it takes a lady who is really close to GOD or have the love for GOD to go to religious gathering during the week when she can as well be at home watching telemudo and a lady who loves GOD will surely love her family.

4.Marriage classes : Make no mistake about this,a single lady attending marriage classes is definitely interested in making her future marriage secured and when you find any single and searching lady in this meeting please go for her and you will most likely never regret it.

5.BRT BUS TERMINAL: I know this will come as a surprise to many people but it may interest you that waiting to get into a BRT bus most times requires lots of patience and a lady who can be patient enough to wait in line for a BRT bus to show up will most likely be patient with her hubby through trying times lol!

6.Mama put joint:Yes very very funny but think about it.Many ladies prefer the effizy of going to big time fast food joints just to form butty and would rather prefer to eat pizza in these restaurants whereas the worms in their belly are yearning for good amala with gbegiri and ewedu soup with choice meat or any decent meal.So if you see a lady in mama put restaurant innocently swallowing her amala please pay attention to her because she is likely to be a down to heart zero-effizy and humble lady which are good qualities of a wife material.

7.Nairaland food,family and religion section: This is very realistic because the internet is one place where you can be yourself and on nairaland forum we have various sections you can visit uninhibited so if you see any single lady viewing the family,religion or food section asides front page topics then she is truly religious,family oriented and naturally inclined to food matters so tell me if such a lady will not make a great wife?

8.Her work place: Definitely ladies who have groomed themselves to be financially independent and busy doing one thing or the other rather than jumping from one place to another with different guys are likely suitable as wife materials.

I guess i have tried and you are free to add yours.
