Ninapha: i disagree with u sir. If u want the position, work the position. If that answer already bored you, how wd u manage 24hrs meeting filled with some times irrelevant topics and policies. Train urself to value information.Alright, now i see the environment you like to work in - an environment with lots of wastage of time and energy where majority of your executive meeting time is spent on discussing irrelevant topics and policies - SMH. Well not strange tho - that is the typical and traditional Nigerian bureaucracy. But we are a new breed of executive who give our time to utmost productivity and not just mere activities. My dear learn to differentiate between been fruitful and been active. Have 24hrs meeting filled with....... cant be compare with 2hrs topnotch meeting of productive minds - And this portray further my initial resentment to that lengthy posts - You can say what you want to say and achieve what you want to achieve without been unnecessarily lengthy and boring; then use the other time for something else. Bet you, that guy did not write what he posted himself. He simply copy it somewhere and posted it without even reading it himself. Dont just follow the bandwagon into mere activities, strive for utmost productivity with your time. |
Ninapha: u see your life? And una want bigman job!Long stories do not give you "bigman" jobs. Top executives love it brief and concise yet with same info. Learn that now as u wish for your "bigman" job. |
Bamz: A typical resume is a general and concise introduction of your experiences and skills as they relate to a particular career or position that you are aiming to acquire. As such, a resume may have to be altered for each position that you are applying for so as to emphasize those skills and experiences most relevant to the work. Resumes are usually no more than one page in length. They are often accompanied by cover letters, which provide a permanent written record of the transmittal of the resume (what is being sent, to whom it is being sent, and who sent it).Too long story to such a simple question. |
Joshuadon: It been observed that virtually all nigerian love and cherish to have male child to females ones,the reason for that am still searching cus children are precious gift from God...please share your own opinion here....Well, the reason for the preference of a male child are enormous and it does not matter whether some pple see it as archaic or not, it remain valid. Some of these reasons are: 1. Teenage pregnancy can bring more shame to a girl child's parent than to a male child's (who pregnant a girl at teens age) parent. 2. A male child will grow up to be in charge of his home deciding what his wife and children do but a female child will be subject to her husband when they will marry (Bible standard and not modernization). Hence parent have more say in the marriage if their child is the man than if their child is the woman. (Mothers like this so much; mother-in-law syndrome - story for another day). 3. Women lost their surname at marriage but men dont - parents afraid of not having someone to carry on their name at their demise prefer a male child to a female child. 4. 8 or 9 out of 10 male are authoritative (whether for good or for evil) while 8 out of 10 female are subjective (this is not only in africa but the world over - that is why you have more male in high political office and billionaire than female; the exceptional female you will be tempted to start to mention just make the remaining 2 out of 10. Hence parents prefer male children (whether subconsciously or acknowledged) not only because they see a male child as a symbol of greatness but someone who can take charge of the house and defend it on their it behalf. 5. Intimidation from outsiders is another reason why parents prefer male child. A family of seven girls and no boy can be bullied by neighbors and school mate (maybe until they grow up to have some influence other than physical strength); compare to a family of seven boys - people nor go find trouble dey reach ur gate. 6. Female requires so such attention in up bringing because one moment off eye on her could cause havoc, hence leaving their parent with plenty of responsibility and little time for themselves than their male counterpart who parent can leave without much ado. A little off moment with ur female child could see her trying "things" likely to bring family to disrepute. Personally, my mum calls my sisters everyday while in Uni while I am allow to roam without a call sometimes for weeks, and they send her much more money even tho her course was less expensive. 7. Both male and female could bring shame to a parent but a female shame could be bigger. Like a girl Running to stay with a guy as against a guy bringing a girl in. A girl smoking as against a guy smoking. A girl getting pregnant out of wedlock as against a guy impregnating a girl out of wedlock. So a male child places a lesser moral burden on their parents than the female child. - tho i am not saying male child could misbehavior. 8. Societal expectation also makes parents to prefer the male child a family without a male child could become a prayer point or worst still - a laughing stock. NB: This doesnt makes a girl child less important or inferior as they too have their place. That women prefer pink colour generally to brown does not make brown inferior. These and many other are the spoken or the unspoken reasons why most parents subconsciously or consciously prefer a male child. Also, the comparison given above is the general trends between male and female gender; so it is not unlikely to see some small percentage of specific exception. |
There was this beggar who was passing by a posh street. He sighted a man who appeared well off. The man was washing a lovely automobile, which gave further credence to his being wealthy. The beggar walked slowly up to him. As the beggar approached, the man began to feel apprehensive. He thought the beggar was going to be a nuisance by asking him for money. And he dreaded such a nuisance value, but took it forgranted that he was going to have to bear it. However, when the beggar drew close up to him, instead of asking for money, the beggar politely and confidently - without the slightest dint of shyness or trepidation - began to engage the man in a more or less intellectual conversation. The man thoroughly enjoyed the company of the beggar and was pleasantly surprised at his level of understanding of life. When the beggar declared it was time for him to go, the man missed him already and was forced to ask, 'But don't you need help?' Instead of the usual, 'Please, help me, for I do need help,' the beggar simply reiterated, 'Don't we all need help?' The man ended up giving him much more than he had initially intended to. This story is for all those who prepare to face NLNG soon. Don't give them the impression you are begging for a job. Give them the impression that they need your help; they need your services; that you are the person they want, that you are capable of working for them; believe me, they need you as much as you need them; recall what the beggar said: 'Don't we all need help?' I tell you, we all do, including the great and mighty NLNG. I say this because I know that someone out there is asking, 'Can I really make it; am I the one they want?' I tell you, 'Be still and know that [God] is God' (Psalm 46 v 10). We all here at nairaland.com are waiting especially for your testimony. Your furture is colourful, and I know you will get there. Besides, 'He that started the good work in you will be faithful to complete it.' And, above all, 'they that trust in the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and shall not be weary; they shall walk and shall not faint.' |

[img][/img]According to 20-year-old Taiyelolu Abdulrahman, while telling her chilling story to Nigerian Tribune, her father, who died almost 20 years ago, nurtured her till she was married to another dead or “ghost” husband. She and her twin brother, Kehinde, grew up with their father in a flat at the Ajah area of Lagos. They led a relatively comfortable life in the house where they only depended on generator as the only source of electricity. Although their father was not engaged in any kind of work, he provided for them. My father was not working. He never left the house except on a few occasions at night. But if I asked for N50, 000, he gave it to me. We had no visitors and we visited nobody,” she said. All they had to do were sleep, eat and watch home videos. Asked about her mother, she said she and her twin brother grew up to know only their father. They did not see any woman with him. To go out of the house, their father gave the twins a small gourd each which they simply clasped to their palms and then they burst out on the road and board vehicles to the market to purchase food items like wheat, semovita, macaroni, spaghetti and rice. They never consumed amala (yam flour meal). On a particular day, however, Taiyelolu forgot to take her gourd and as she stepped out of the house, what confronted her was a cemetery with a lot of vaults and a bushy environment. She screamed and dashed back inside. Then, her father told her to pick the gourd, atona (guide) as it was called. As she clasped the object to her palm and then ventured out, this time, she found herself on a busy tarred road. Another incident which frightened her happened in the night. “My father went out whenever he wanted but it was always around 10.00 or 11.00 p.m. He would not take anyone along with him. But there was a day I begged him to take me out to where he usually went and he obliged. When we got there, something strange and fearful happened. It was like a canteen and there, I saw a small cooking stand with a big pot on it without firewood or fire and the food was boiling. I asked my father how it was possible for food to cook without firewood and fire and the woman selling the food became angry and slapped me. She asked my father who I was; that I was not part of them but only wanted to expose their secrets. My father begged her and we left the place,” she remarked. After the incident, her father refused to take her out again so that she would not be privy to the secrets and circumstances surrounding their true identities. Since then, she refused to take food from her father, but only cooked her own food. By the time Taiyelolu came of age, her father did not allow her the choice of a husband, but asked her to marry someone identified as Abdulazeez. The man moved in with them and behaved like her father. Soon, she got pregnant. And when she eventually went into labour, she said her father went out, brought back a particular kind of leaf which he applied on her navel and she was delivered of a baby boy without any complication. Her father, who acted as the midwife, took care of the placenta. She bore her two other boys in the same manner. Her children were named Abdul Qayum (now eight years old), ‘Rokeeb (four) and Jamiu (two and a half). But what revealed the true identities of her father and husband? She disclosed that all the jealously guarded secrets began to come to the open when her brother Kehinde declined to marry a lady recommended by their father. They continued their routine life until their father considered Kehinde mature enough to get married and brought a lady home for him. But Kehinde was said to have refused outright to marry “one of them.” Taiyelolu said she asked him what he meant by “one of them” but he told her not to bother as she was only a woman who was oblivious of what was happening. One day, Kehinde was eating and he suddenly coughed, slumped and died. My father did not feel any sorrow as a result of this. He buried my brother in an unknown place. When I asked him about where he buried him, he said some Muslim clerics had come to pray over his body and he had buried it. Not convinced by his response, I said to him: “When I had my babies, no clerics came for the naming, but they came for the burial of my brother?’” Disturbed by the shocking death of her brother, Taiyelolu confronted her father that she wanted to know his family. That decision marked the beginning of her journey into a new world. “ Eventually, my father agreed to take me and the children to his hometown, Offa, Kwara State. He said he was from the imam’s family. When we almost got to his family house, he said he wanted to check on someone close by and pointed the house to us. He asked us to ask for Alhaji Hussein Salmoni, his uncle. When we met his uncle and explained ourselves to him, he was taken aback. He eventually showed us his grave. He said my father died over 20 years ago,” she said. Amid bewilderment, Taiyelolu left for the only place she knew as home, Ajah, Lagos, but could not locate their house again. What worsened her situation was the mysterious disappearance of the gourd which her father had given her and could have guided her back to the house. She went to Ilorin in an effort to locate her mother’s family house which her father told her was Isale Koto. She managed to strike up conversations with some people who introduced her to a radio presenter who narrated her story on air. She also met a lady who she followed to Ede, Osun State, and stayed with for about a month. It was while in that city that she traced her husband’s parents. She claimed that she was walking by the road one day when a car parked by her side and the driver told her that it was her birthday and in order to felicitate with her, gave her a handset with a SIM card. Taiyelolu is uncertain of her age, but assumed that she could be more than 20. It was when I got to ‘this world’ that I realised that I am too young to have given birth to three children with the fourth on the way. Also, I did not know that there is a place where people struggled to earn a living until I got here. It saddens me that I now wake up every day with no money.” She said she never attended a school, but that her father had the knowledge of the Qur’an and had western education. According to her, her father was the one who taught her and her brother Arabic and a bit of western education,” she said. It is obvious that Taiyelolu is truly versed in the recitation of the Qur’an. Her children now attend a primary school in the village. On how she got to Tonkere village in Osun State, she said she went to observe the evening prayer at a mosque in Ede when, after prayers, she was chatting with the imam and an old man appeared and told her in clear terms that she was suffering. The man then asked her why she was obstinate about returning the children with her to Tonkere, her husband’s place of birth. The man said if she refused to do so within three days, something unpleasant would become of the children and the man disappeared. Then she asked the imam if he saw the old man who just interrupted their conversation, but the imam said no. She then collected N200 from the cleric, fetched her children and the four of them, at about after 8.00 p.m., boarded a motorcycle to Akoda junction for N50. At the junction, she asked another cyclist to take her to Tonkere but the man, because of the fact that it was late in the day, charged her N1000, whereas she only had N150. But it was necessary that the children got to Tonkere that night because their father, who was deceased, demanded that she took them to his people. As she pleaded with the cyclist, a car parked by them and mediated in the matter. The driver asked the cyclist to convey the woman and her children to their destination for N500, which was the usual fare. The man gave the cyclist the N500, wrote down the motorcycle’s number and warned the cyclist to take the passengers to no place but the mosque at Tonkere. As they alighted from the motocycle at Tonkere, Taiyelolu said her husband appeared to her physically. She said he pointed to the shop opposite the mosque as his mother’s and the third building to the shop as his father’s house, saying “I should ask for his father, Pa Gbadamosi. As they conversed, her husband said a lady who was passing by, Tosin, was his sister and he called her.” Between the time Taiyelolu looked in the direction of the lady and looked back in her husband’s direction, he had disappeared. The lady Taiye is with her husband’s people now in Tonkere village, but they did not receive her with open arms because the aged parents of Abdulazeez were confused about how their first son, who died at a tender age, could have fathered three children. They are suspicious of their supposed daughter-in-law and are acting cautiously around her. But she dismissed any suspicious of band motives asking why she would want to lie herself into a poor home. Also, Taiyelolu’s mother-in-law, the Iyalode of Tonkere, had been down with stroke and the father-in-law is a farmer. Financially, they are not capable of supporting Taiyelolu and her children. The lady, who said the clothes she uses now were given to her, added that they were rags, compared to the ones she wore in her father’s house. What pointed to the fact that she could truly be from another world was the way she was lamenting openly about the treatment meted out to her by her in-laws. She said if she had made up her story, rather than bringing her children to the old mud house, she would have taken them to the governor’s house. The mud house, she said, did not compare with her father’s house in “the other world.” She said she only left her father’s house with a black bag and a Qur’an, which are still in her possession. She also claimed to have dreamt of her father once, who was all tears, lamenting with his finger in his mouth that he warned his daughter not to embark on this journey. She said her husband pleaded with her in her dreams each time his people offended her. She said her husband said the reason he insisted she took his children to his parents was for his parents to have the joy of raising his children as they did not have such opportunity with him even as a first child. The parents said they could not remember where they buried Abdulazeez. The survival of heavily pregnant Taiyelolu and the future of her three children pose a challenge to her. She said the aged parents of her “ghost” husband could no longer work, hence, the fate of her children hung in the balance. When she called Nigerian Tribune reporter last Monday, she said she was having signs that she would soon put to bed. She, therefore, appealed to the Osun State governor, Mr Rauf Aregbesola; his wife, Alhaja Sherifat, other well-meaning Nigerians, including corporate organisations and non-governmental organisations to come to her aid by empowering her so that her future and that of her three children abandoned could be secure. What about her husband? She says he, these days appears only in her dreams.

5 Common Mistakes That Will Derail Your Career Ever feel like you’re doing everything right, but just can’t seem to get ahead at work? You could be making one of these five common mistakes. Learn to recognize these bad habits and keep your ambitions on track. (1) Ignoring Relationships You might think keeping your head down and getting your job done is enough, but that’s only part of the job. You also need to pay attention to your relationships with your co-workers. “While it seems rational that people should only be judged on their performance, the reality is that interpersonal relationships matter just as much as performance in most cases,” says Mark Goldman, a CPA at MGR Accounting Recruiters. (2) Not Dressing to Impress Whether you like it or not, your appearance matters, so you need to pay attention to your clothes, hair and accessories, and ensure they’re appropriate. “At work, you don’t just represent yourself. At work, you’re a walking/talking advertisement for your company’s brand,” says Carlota Zimmerman, head of Creativity Yenta. “Therefore, if you look like you dressed in the dark, and/or during a fire, if you look like an extra in a particularly melodramatic music video, you are sending a message that you don’t take yourself, your professional goals or your company seriously.” (3) Blurring the Line Between Personal and Professional Management is well aware employee choices are often tied to personal circumstances, but that doesn’t mean you should point out that connection -- especially when you’re negotiating. “Managers usually already know that whatever you're negotiating will have a positive effect on you personally, but what they need to hear is how it will affect the company. If you're only focused on how you can help yourself, your career will suffer,” says Brie Reynolds, director of online content at FlexJobs. “Of course, so much of what happens in our personal lives affects our jobs, and vice versa, but when you're negotiating salary, or flextime, or the ability to work from home, it's important to keep your negotiation points professionally-based.” (4) Prioritizing Money Over Opportunity When you focus on money and forget to think about having a fulfilling experience and your general happiness, you’ll end up hating your job, says Foremost Consulting Director Michael Mayher. “When money becomes more important the the actual opportunity, it often results in a career setback,” he explains. That’s both because it can cause you to miss out on great opportunities and because it won’t impress the people who have the power to help you advance. “Show me the money’ is a cheesy line from a movie that won’t serve you well with a hiring official during the interview process.” (5) Operating with a Noticeable Lack of Initiative Initiative is taking steps to make things happen instead of waiting for an invitation or opportunity to fall in your lap. It’s also “a cornerstone of career progression and advancement,” says HR4Change founder Tony Deblauwe. “If you are being consistently proactive in your career, someone is bound to notice,” he explains. “They will definitely notice if you aren’t. If your boss or others are constantly giving you direction or reminding you of tasks to be completed, you will be marginalized as a low performer quickly.” Ufuoma Peters |
