The president should rather be wary of these men of servile miens. Show me a man of servile mien and I'll point to you a hypocrite personified.

In fact, the president himself has to share in the blame too, because he's not humble enough. Only an arrogant person would condone these superficial acts from the hypocrites.

Dino has no case to answer.

Inaccurate and meaningless news and list from a wannabe blogger. A 2017 news that listed Yaya Toure as the current African footballer of the year shouldn't be taken serious.

@OP

Your parochialness stinks. . . I don't envy you at all. Virtuousness doesn't discriminate, so uglyness or beautifulness shouldn't be a subject of discussion.

In summary, either sexes should always endeavour to lookout for a virtuous partner. . . So long as one is virtuous too, because it's a taboo to aim for what you didn't earn.

The very moment you allowed yourself to be emotionally entangled by your partner, automatically you make yourself powerless in the relationship and indirectly you become a servile. Negative occurrences like the ones you've witnessed so far are usually the after effects. You need to become a no nonsense man since you're certain of your loyalty towards her.

Become a self-willed lover - not a feeble-minded lover you're so far - towards her and see her change for good self-willedly too. Her change for good though would depend on whether she's still committed to your marriage union with her. I say demand for a profound mental change from her not a superficial face-lift, this shouldn't be an ultimatum per se but a demand for her own good, which will automatically leaves her with a choice to make. . . Never deny anyone freewill. And begin to tell yourself the truth that no human being is indispensable in your life. In the event that she fails to embrace a profound mental change, you take any action that will best suit you.

One funny thing about petty people is that they are always quick to initiate mind games but they are bad losers - they never embrace sportsmanship after their perpetual loss. Tolerantly allow them to go away with their disingenuousness and shenanigans, you see them erroneously believe that truly they're smarter and more wicked than you're. Resist them and see them resort to disparaging and denigrating you. Then, reciprocate/mete out to them their negative/evil attitudes in equal and opposite proportions and see them cry murder/victim. Pettiness sucks.

timsonpreye:
even with ur big grammar u ain't saying d ryt tin, we both re in love with each other, I love her but her infantness is something sometimes I can't control.... Mind u I know d word ''love''

Conceit is truly God's gift to petty people like you. Only a petty person will see love where trust doesn't exist.

@OP

I'm really sorry for you. But guess what, it's not because of the "it's over ish from her" or your supposed "recurring tears and pains after her temporary breakups acts" no. I'm sorry for you because you're not a proponent and practitioner of "observation is believing." She may or may not even be a virgin as she claimed (no big deal though if she isn't) but your statement of certainty in that regard is a recipe for future heartbreak for you - in the event that she lied. Never hope or have hope that something told to you by another person is true instead always be hoping that it could be true. Superficiality isn't the same as realness.

Meanwhile, possessiveness is different from caring. . . Always have this at the back of your mind. So far, you aren't in a healthy relationship and this is partly due to your opportunistic tendencies (you don't have to agree with me), you have made yourself a servile to her rather than her loyalist. By the way, even loyalty is like a two-way traffic and its expected to be so in a healthy relationship.

Tell me that both of you fancies each other and I'll agree with you. But to say that one or either of you already love each other, I wager to say you're either intentionally lying or you don't know what love is.

The word "merit" is subjective especially in a matter like this. Both of you're graduates and the position both of you applied for required the service of a graduate too. So, why you may have bested him with your grades, he on the other hand bested you with his social aptitude (whether or not his father was the one that made the call on his behalf doesn't matter) which obviously is more important to the employer that chose him instead of you.

This case in question is not an issue of nepotism or cronyism, no. It's purely a case of aptitudunal shrewdness. Cases like this is the reason why formal certificates aren't awarded solely based on academic excellence. It's only in mathematical applications that 1 plus 1 will constantly yield 2 as an answer.

I know that my humble and unbiased opinion herein won't go down well with the lowlives (petty people), if you're one don't bother picking on me because I don't join issues with you and your ilks.

Pleasure magazine aka Churchill image laundering mushroom media outfit - Alex Nwankwo has taken his sycophancy to a new level. Anyway, business is all about packaging.

I am with the APC on this. I have no doubt that the assumed "half-baked educated man" will best the writer of this article in an aptitude test in his line of profession in particular and intelligence quotient test in general. As far as I am concerned, I see no evil in his appointment, so long as he's thoroughly informally educated. The last time I checked, there're different ways of acquiring knowledge. Viz: formal or informal means.

In fact, based on firsthand experiences, I have come to the conclusion that majority of the thoroughly informally educated people are always much more resourceful than their tertiary formally educated counterparts in the same profession. While the latter can always brag of knowing as well as understanding the former at best has knowingness to brag for. Understanding is superior to knowingness just as knowledge is superior to information.

For one, it's possible to acquire a formal diploma without a post-primary formal education - some institutions do offer admission on the basis of on-the-job experience. Why deny someone that has as excellent aptitude in his line of profession progression just because he doesn't have the perseverance/is of unorthodox leanings to pursue a higher/tertiary formal schooling?

As an employer, it's aptitude over ordinary paper certificate any day-any time - paper certificate will only be an added advantage to someone that already has the aptitude with good attitudes too. And as I always say, the easiest way people do glosses their ignorances are through acquisitions of meaningless paper certificates and then perfecting it with mastery of the nation's lingua franca, so as to always appear polished - Knowledge superficiality is evil. Knowledge superficiality is the major bane of our retrogression as a nation.

In fact, nothing can be more appalling than seeing a self acclaimed educated person misunderstanding, misinterpreting and misrepresenting the true meaning of education.

chloedogie:
If you are joking putting this up then that's very funny. If you are really serious about those lines you hung up there, then Nigeria don enter proper wahala. Are you for real? ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Little people like you never think outside the box.

Apparently, that was a setup - he (gateman) and his supposed girlfriend were cajoled into it by the boss lady and her gun holding collaborator in the video.

It's obvious a blackmail to subdue the gateman and neutralize a possible ugly information he has concerning the boss lady.

She only applied a light conventional formula of suppressing a servant.

Secret formula of all successful entrepreneurs - all in positive: Ambition (not greed) and self-willedness - Plan - Attitude - Aptitude and financial resource.

some girls will never learn. they go after money bags who ends up using them as punching bag. when guys like me are right here, ready to treat them like Queens while soaking our garri and groundnut

Nothing can be more appalling than a parochial opinion like yours and your ilks. I wonder who propounded the law that wretchedness equates to piousness and holiness. You and your ilks should stop justifying your wretchednesses. Neither financial poverty nor riches can buy one virtuousness - and, hypocrisy of a wretched person in hiding his/her vices doesn't make such a person virtuous. Virtuousness is free for all but hard for petty people to imbibe - pettiness doesn't know financial class.

Either sexes should always strive to lookout for someone with virtuousness when entering into any form or relationship. And one shouldn't expect what s/he doesn't have to give. One question everyone should endeavor to ask oneself at all times is; Now that I aim for a partner that possesses virtuousness have I earned virtuousness to aim for it?

The worst thing that'll ever happened to anyone is going into marriage before achieving self-realization (most important), and before emancipating ethically, physically, emotionally and professionally not necessarily financially.

Don't cast aspersions on her - in regards to her abandonment of her former marriage - if you haven't walked on her path. 90 percent of people in an unhappy marriage today are in it because they didn't observe the principles above and given a second chance after achieving these principles, they wouldn't wish to marry their current partners.

Loyalty vs servility. You weren't loyal but servile, your opportunistic/covetous tendencies blinded you and made you not to know that your solely decision to follow the route you took only conferred you status of the latter unannounced. Ignorance isn't an excuse before the law.

Mr Earnest wasn't at fault. In fact, he acted like an important personality - important personalities are more at ease in relating with unassuming people rather than hypocrites. Your action (even as good as it may seem to a biased person) depicts that of a hypocrite.

Loyalty will always earn you respect of others; chiefly among other reasons being that you're unassuming, intelligent, honest and kind but not foolish. You know how to say no and enough is enough from the inception, when meted out with any form of injustice. And you don't hypocritically take the role of a servile no matter whatever.

However, servility will always cause you to appear foolish in the eyes of the other party (even though you may be superficially admired in your presence), it will make you swallow very many nonsensical things you wouldn't accept should you choose to do away with self-hypocrisy. It will always make you a loser in the end. Once more, you're to be blamed because only covetousness/opportunism and gullibility do make a sane, sound and able person to subject himself to servility.

Well informed and established people knows how not to convert a once servile to a protege or associate.

Next time, if you've an aim of being a protege/staff or an associate to an established figure, avoid by all means possible to intentionally or intentionally go through the route of a servile.

Even though there's no basis to justify murder, yet petty people should learn how not to betray the trust of those that love them/are loyal to them, whom they claim to love/be loyal to too.

If you can't outsmart someone (assuming you're innately demonic that you can't do without vices against someone close to you), don't dare being perfidious against them, else you would be inviting every form of an unimaginable harm to yourself - especially when the person you betrayed was honest and altruistic towards you while your relationship/friendship/partnership lasted.

Perfidiousness isn't cleverness. And conscientiousness and altruism aren't a signs of foolishness and lack of confidence.

A man's fundamental perspective defines his level intelligence.

This fiction of a story is even older than nairaland. In fact, it's a nollywood movie that was released in the early 2000s. . . Although, I don't know the name of the movie offhand.

sisisioge:
Haaaaa...Dude you have started again! Why are you so inconsiderate with the words you use ? One can't even afford to forget a dictionary when there's a possibility of reading anything from you! Easy man!

Me no come say anything bad naw. Hahaha. I hope you're fine.

Both of them were opportunists. The girl was pretentious while the guy was predaceous. If fact, I'd blame the guy more citing that he didn't gift her the gift altruistically. If he wasn't predaceous, he would've observed - before granting her request for a phone - that she wasn't genuinely affectionate towards him. A smart, honest and altruistic person would always be able to decode when the other party is real or pretentious with him/her through actions and inaction. Only an opportunist is liable to fall a victim to the shenanigans of little person/partner because of one's own hidden evil agenda. Mind games is for little people.

A strong woman is a virtuous woman and she abhors oppression in any form be it psychological or physical. She only find attractive and pally with a man that abhors oppression too, a man of noble mien.

She's a proponent and practitioner of live and let live philosophy. She's a no hypocrite. And of course, she knows that a man is a premius inter pares in a marriage between a man and a woman.

A strong woman is a real (not wannabe) feminist. Personally, I love strong women.

Realdeals:
Sorry this part caught my attention! What has he been working with while at the bank?

Obviously words failed him. Well, he was trying to say that he preferred/is more inclined to physical work than mental work.

Actually, I've come to understand that most formally tertiary educated people lack in-depth knowledge (especially outside their areas of studies) compared to their informally well educated counterparts. Without taking anything away from this guy in question, I stand bold to say that he ventured into catering business mainly because he doesn't have knowledge about any goldmine but hidden mental businesses - citing the other business options he listed and jettison for catering.

All an average person knows about business is all the common businesses. To be different is to be uncommon.

Understanding that realism is different from idealism and embracing the former is the first step towards building a lasting business. Also, knowing that information is different from knowledge and embracing the latter is a virtue/secret that will make you flourish. Then, choosing your team wisely will make you a success. . . Sentiment and conceit are the most potent banes of failure.

Meanwhile, the most lurid misconception ever is the layman's propagation that one must lie/deceive (be perfidious) to his customers and partners to achieve success in business. On the contrary, honesty remains the best policy in business. One can never be smart without being honest. Perfidiousness isn't cleverness.


All the same, kudos OP.

He's obviously a neophyte in the bending the rule game to achieve maximum result. An experienced player would have made academic qualifications entry as follows: SSCE (which is the basic requirement and I assume he genuinely has, as present) while the illusory and other ego boosting one's should have been entered as in-view. E.g. Bsc and Msc in-view (without tendering any material). Lol. Nigeria career politicians can be funny.

With the above formula he wouldn't have been found guilty by the law.

One can't have experience/ be seasoned in his line of profession without being educated. Therefore, this is a matter of informal educated person (an experienced person without a degree) vs a formally educated person ( a degree holder without some cogent experience/understanding of his profession).

Foremost, one big advantage of degree over experience - especially in a country like ours - is that it helps to gloss one's ignorance. It helps the ignorant fellow to appear polished especially when such a person managed to master the nation's lingua franca. Lol.

On a more serious note, from my personal experience, experience which automatically qualified as aptitude do make one that possesses it to understand a subject better while a degree without a cogent experience will at best enable you to know a subject but without understanding it. So, this makes the latter an articulate incompetent. Understanding is superior to knowing. . . Just as knowledge is superior to information.

Actually, I understand that most people don't know the true meaning of education. Being a non degree holder doesn't automatically make one an illiterate. Knowledge can be acquired through either formal or informal ways.

Personally, I'll choose an informally educated seasoned applicant over a formally educated non /little experienced and non understanding applicant any day.

PMB truly suffered serious ill health and obviously - citing this picture in particular - he's not fully recovered yet. Let him kindly take more rest. I sincerely wish him speedy and total recovery.

Zik was domineering, selfish and conceited. So also Ojukwu was domineering, selfish and conceited. Ahmadu Bello was conscientious and unassuming. And Awo was realistic and disingenuous.

The problem of Nigeria has always been a fundamental one - a case of manipulators vs diplomats. As it's always the case, manipulators lose credibility/power diplomats gain it.

@OP, it's obvious that you know about the "never outshine your boss" mantra. Kudos. However, what's more obvious is that you don't understand that same mantra. You're what we term articulate incompetent. I don't envy you at all.

Zoologists and wildlife biologists over to you.

B2Spirits:
Get this fact right: nobody wishes you well in this life apart from your mother, and at times, your father. Now one shudder thinks that if I have not been clapping back at users in thread, I would have endeared myself to potential helpers. But what I have learnt in this life is beyond looking for favour from mere mortals.

I render my service, you pay me, but not changing job descriptions everyday because you feel I may become a threat.

According to you "nobody wishes you well in this life apart from your mother, and at times, your father." My brother, you really need to change this kind of mindset. Kindly consider to review your life philosophies and change skewed ones like this particular one I quoted.

Conceit is God's gift to petty people. It's not profitable to be a Mr Big shot, because you'll have to prove yourself every other day. Put your pride and confidence in check.
