Of course it was embellished... If I wrote it exactly the way it happened, you probably wouldn't be interested in reading it...

Even if he promised her marriage, that's not enough reason for her to sue him abeg... I doubt if such could happen in Naija... Besides, what's the proof that the guy took her virginity? He could always deny it, or say she wasn't a virgin when he met her. She would lose either ways...

Ok. let me use my self as an example. back then when i was still with my parents, my mother use to be the greatest cook i've ever known... but due to business commitement coupled with the fact that every female in my home knows how to cook very well, she hardly even enter the kitchen because there is food on the table always! but when everyone started finding their way out and getting independent, my mom attempted going back to the kitchen after years... the first meal she made was abadoned by everyone in the home followed by the rest until she did it for nearly 6 months before she got in again and even became better!
Hmmm... I get you now...

A big yes! i can marry her even if she doesn't know how to cook... i don't know how to cook either so the first step would be to look for a capable hand or school, which ever she prefers to take her on a cooking course for as long as it would take for her to learn. As for the sabi cookers, remember cooking doesn't stick forever!

Politics10 Businesses That Will Suffer Under Buhari's Regime by Dioxidane(op): 10:19pm On May 14, 2015
1. Real Estate: Corruption influenced the high rise in the value of property in Nigeria. An area is mapped out and once politicians pick interest in the area, the value of property rises rapidly for no reason. Land that is worth 1.5m, the moment a politician comes and buys for 10m and
starts building a mansion, every other land owner in the
area starts selling from 10m upwards. The same goes for
buildings. A politician sees a house he or she likes, the seller increases the price by 10 and the politician buys. Then every other property around the area is on the rise. As the new administration takes over, politicians will reduce their
spending. They will now be more interested in managing
their loot wisely and no more buying properties anyhow for
themselves and their girl friends, because they wont have
access to funds to steal. This will affect the sales of property,
as there will be more properties for sale and less buyers.
Even the politicians who are the target of estate investors
will have to sell theirs to maintain their life style. Remember
they have drivers, cooks, security and kids who are studying
abroad. People who have raw cash, will buy properties for
less than the actual value. A house that is selling for 20m can be bought for 10m. Because the true value of the land in those areas will surface. When you call unimaginable prices for properties, even the politicians will ignore you.

2. Contractors: The budget of the ministry of works has been slashed by more than 50%. This means that fewer roads and houses will be built. Maintenance will even be reduced as the budget would hardly pay salaries. So contractors will have to find an alternative source of funding.

3. Interior decor and Furniture: As politicians invest less in property and govt. invest less in housing, there will be less houses to furnish. Those importing expensive furniture that they sell to the government at inflated prices will reduce the stock they order, before they end up using it themselves.

4. Rental services: This involves businesses that rent
different types of equipments. Tractors, bulldozers etc. With
fewer contracts awarded, who will rent the equipments?
Even those who are into rental of events materials, like chairs and canopy are not left out. Politicians and those who
benefit from the corrupt system will go low key. So if they
used to rent 10000 chairs and canopies during events, they
might cut it down to 2000 now. They are no longer in power
so they now spend from their pocket and not that of the government. Those newly elected wont see so much money either like the previous administration .

5. Event Planners: Those involved in event management, who plan big events and make millions from the government and politicians will also feel the heat because Buhari is known to be very frugal.

6. Hospitality Industry: They will be affected seriously
because gone are the days when politicians will want to sit out and have fun. They will find one name and call the meeting, taking up all the rooms in a hotel, eating everything with women from the purse of the government. There will be less of such extravagant spending. Politicians that used to go around with about 10 girls and stay in the most expensive rooms, would opt for cheaper alternatives.

7. Car dealers: They will feel the heat. Imagine calling a politician who use to buy 10 pieces latest mercedes cars to give out to people, and he tells you to help him find buyer for the one you sold to him the last time, that he needs the money. There will even be less escort cars, as politicians who used 20 hilux cars might limit to 2 or 3.

8. Runz Girls: Heavily patronized by politicians, the era of Buhari will most likely see them have less clients as
politicians will be careful not to live ostentatious lifestyles.

9. Human Hair Dealers: Anything that affects politicians also affects runz girls, and anything that affects runs girls will also affect human hair dealers. So you have to find alternative and more economic hair because the runs girls have tighter budget now.

10 .Boutiques: Those selling real expensive stuff will feel it too. As the politicians will be more interested in their children
s school fees abroad, diesel for generator 24hrs, maintenance of the luxury houses they live in more than clothes.

I'm not concerned about your class of degree, there are some graduates with 2.2 who are better than 2.1 graduates. But with your level of articulation, I have a suggestion for you. You know that mechanic shop close to your junction? Yes, that one. Go and apply as an apprentice there first. Thank me later...

Lolz... Na story wey happen today na...
Jobs/VacanciesLessons From His Job Test Experience by Dioxidane(op):
So I went for a job interview/test today at a manufacturing company and a very hilarious/scary scene played out before me.

I woke up in the morning and my head was banging like a 2 by 2 plywood was hit on it. Even the panadol I took did nothing to relieve me - the headache was dancing 'skelewu' around it.

When I got to the company and after normal security checks for invitations, I went in and saw others that were also invited. I realized that I was the last person to come in 'cos no other person came after me.

I did a head count and we were 20 persons - 13 guys and 7 ladies. And yeah, the 'chicks' were fine like hell.

I wasn't in any mood to 'chyke' any girl because of my headache, so I went on 'lock-up' mode, after all I came for a job test not to scoop girls. Other sharp guys were already in intimated conversations with some of the ladies.

Not too long after I came in, two men came and ushered us into a conference room. 'Damn, this is what I call a 5-star conference room', I thought.

The conference room was so posh and it's air conditioning could freeze ones brains out. The setting of the company was pristine, with everywhere looking so upper class. I never knew there were companies like that in Nigeria apart from oil companies. I even saw an 'ATM plaza' in the company! Imagine! I told myself I was going to get a job in that company whether the devil was comfortable with it or not.

After pep talks and collecting our CV's, the two men began distributing the test questions. There were 30 questions in all and we were to answer them in 1 hour. It was boldly written on it. 'Wow, very organized coy', I thought.

Looking at the questions, I was shocked! I knew the answers to some questions, I forgot the answers to some, I could manipulate some, but there were some I just didn't know!

I raised my head and realized the two men were no more in the conference room and the door was shut. The whole room was silent. I guess the others realized it at that same point, 'cos they began raising their heads and the guys that already had rapports with some of the ladies, in wanting to be 'caring', began asking the ladies if they could answer the questions and that if they didn't know any, they should simply ask.

Moments later, different talks began flying around in whispers: 'Do you know the answer to number 13?' 'I thought it's supposed to be on quantitative analysis.' 'No, it's qualitative analysis.' 'How do convert that value to inches?' 'Jeez, I've forgotten that formular'. 'I think it's height times r square'. 'Are you sure?' 'I can't remember exactly, but it should be something like that.'

I was still on 'lock-up' mode so I didn't talk to anyone. I just concentrated on my test while listening to words flying around, hoping that the answers to the ones I didn't know would drop.

I also wondered why we were left without supervision. 'Or was there a camera in here?', I thought. I looked around and saw a contraption in the ceiling, blinking a red light. It definitely didn't look like a camera!

We've already spent 30minutes. I had answered about 15 questions - the ones I was sure of. I looked around and saw some guys browsing on their phones, obviously checking the answers online. And being 'good guys', they were dishing out answers to some ladies too. 'Damn you PHCN!', I thought. I had already answered the questions I knew. I should have checked the others online and gotten the answers easily. I would have even had the opportunity to confirm the ones I had already answered. The battery in my phone was flat!

The lady sitting beside me was feeding off answers from the guy beside her. I was about asking her if she had answered (or 'obtained' the answer) to question 22 when the two men who issued the test walked in with 4 fierce looking security officers.

'You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, stand up!' One of them barked out. I was shocked! 8 persons were asked to stand up and I was among the 'yous'. And to think I didn't talk to or with anyone and I didn't cheat in any way, I was beginning to get angry.

The next words I heard were a relieve. 'The rest of you, drop your scripts and get out! Your test is over!'

shocked shocked shocked

Jeez, so they watching us after all! Some began begging, especially the ladies, but the sight of the fierce officers man-handling one of the guys that wanted to protest their action did something to calm their nerves.

Few minutes later, the conference room was quiet again. One of the men told us we had 15 minutes more and they left almost immediately. We were 6 guys and 2 ladies left. When they left, I looked around and everyone concentrated on his or her work. I was already done with the ones I knew and manipulated the ones I could.

Exactly 15minutes later, the men came and collected our scripts and told us they would get back to us.

I did my best. I pray I scale through, but I learnt a very vital lesson which other job seekers too could learn. I'm not going to mention the lessons. Decipher it yourself.

Lest I forget, try watching the movie 'THE EXAM' if you've not already done so.
