People should stop trying to paint one or the other as the bad sheep

Kanye was part of Roc'A' Fella, So was Jay Z, and many others...just because you leave dont mean you will die

this same way people paint Beyonce as the black sheep, groups always have one or two shining stars, one will eventually overshadow the rest (and will obviously be criticised through no fault or his/her own)


people come together people grow alone> way of life, fi le be ko ma lo be jo

it's a big market out there

some years ago i must have asked my uncle, how much it was to visit and how long the vetting period was thinking people were actually allowed in
abi as a student

na so so laugh e laugh me

and if she had any sense, she would have waited to let the dust settle before

I agree with this part,

Next is my confession to considerable shock that President Goodluck Jonathan did not even think it fit to consult or inform the administrators of the university, including Council and Senate, of his intention to re-name their university for any reason, however laudable. This arbitrariness, this act of disrespect, was a barely tolerated aberration of military governance. It is totally deplorable in what is supposed to be a civilian order.

this is the pat I cant understand, i mean

Labour market is fierce and unforgiven than Marriage market,

theres no more going to daddy for inflated school fees and project fees, no more feeding money

next alternative for most naija girls would be boyfriend>fiance> husband

Nigerian society is not woman friendly at all theres no just escape root, you hardly see women renting a house to live on their own
and discover themselves na straight from daddys house to hubbys house

AjanleKoko: See these hungry Africans looking for Big Boy and Girl status.

yamakuza: dem just dey postpone d thing anyhow na.

This govt sef!

no wonder people will stick to trading, na so so somersault them sabi

How far

It might sound silly but i get very confused with the blackberry names and what they are actually manufactured as (model numbers)

My cousins want me to help him get a Bold 2/3, unfortunately i'm not used to these Bold 2, Curve 2/3/4, So i told him to get the actual number then i can check the price for him, same way my aunt wants to get a Bold 5 for her Birthday, when I ask what her the model number she said that what they are called, I am not very familiar with the numbering systems, I looked through blackberry website and carphone

Most of them look alike same with the curves , i think the only one i know quite well is the torch it has no numbers

So who can decipher which is which

Bold 9900 = ?

Bold 9790 = ?

Bold 9780 = ?

Pictures?

yes tax inclusive, people earning over certian amount a year in UK for example pay upto 50 percent tax (but then again some of those people are wealthy enough to employ a tax consultant who can reduce their income tax bills to as little as 10%)

They also pay for insurance, private services, Agency fees, mortgage/rents, bettings

but still enough to secure them for life especially the african players if they invest wisely

[quote author=Mai-suya]A friend of mine was offered a place in a very big company, the position is intern like for some months after which if he performed well it will be made a permanent position, the reverse is also true. His dilemma now is should he leave his current permanent job with the FG for the big coy job? He sought my advice and I told him think deeply first. What do u think.[/quote]You might what to start a new topic for this one

is he capable of meeting the job specification and surpassing them with the time frame of his probabtion period?

you rarely get threads like these during Yara-Dull and OBJ's time

abegi

just pray for the bombers to have a change of heart

as we now know terrorism is not limited to nigeria, it is our turn

you will just have to retire this name, or contact the site admin to help you, i.e if you dont have 1000s of post

contact the admin first if he is less busy or just retire the name- start a new one with a tag under your profile 'formerly mr xyz'

[quote author=D.pinaku]In addition to what @op has said, the followings are also true.
1. Don't answer questions with just YES and NO.
2. Always have a question to ask, it shows you are interested in the company.
3. Don't sit down until you are told to do so.
4. When you enter the interview room, close the door (if applicable) without taking your eyes of or backingthe interviewers. It shows you are security conscious.
5. Don't be soft spoken. Speak up confidently too.
6. Shake hands firmly if the interviewer offers his/her hand.
7. Remember you are the applicant, don't go interviewing the interviewer.
8. Sit upright and confidently.
9. Make eye contact with the interviewer.
10. don't act as if you are so desperate for the job.
11. Don't discuss your personal and family issues.
If for any reason you are offered a meal. Do remember your table manners and proper use of cutleries.
If you are invited for an interview and nobody seems to attend to you. Don't fidget and complain. Someone may be watching.
(Some guyz were invited for an interview and were not attended to. They were there till late in the evening. Some people left, while the very few who stayed back where given appointment letters without further interiew- in fact, that was their interview. Happened in one of the big telecommunication firms.[/quote]4. hmmm yea right!! are you interviewing for maig guard or database analyst?

11. 80% of CVs i've seen on this site have tribe, religion, marital status,number of kids, age, LGA

big telco firm, you just turn up at a company and nobody will even acknowledge your presence? hmm

I have heard of B.Ed Accountancy/Management, maybe you can browse the website of the school you are interested in
I have a feeling you will be studying mostly the same modules as those doing the BA/Bsc Accounting

theres still something i dont get, a candidate with HND plus ACA/ICAN/ACCA surely should be at par with BA/BSc candidate

moderattor: I have risked my life to wear tie only once!
Zuckerberg goes to work on sweater and sandals.
Steve Jobs dresses like a priest, with jeans!

Try that in Chief Dr Engr Kolawole Ikechukwu's company

I'm not overweight and i dont have beer belly so Yes for the right occasion, I don't mind wearing a tie

PetroDolla: Heheheheheheheh.... i dey laugh for Swahili...

Look at this naija goat. Comot for road make serious people talk, huh? If na serious Ghanaman dey talk you want follow? Your country is a joke and an embarrassment! Can you imagine the most pervasive job in nigeria today is charging mobile phones! I approached a young phone vendor on the street of Lagos (precisely at Amowo Odofin) in April to buy a recharge card and couldn’t believe what I saw. He was sitting by a busy road in front of nearly a dozen make-shift restaurants, with a small generator humming in the background. Connected to the generator was a board with about 12 or 15 charging points for mobile phones. So customers drop their phone or batteries for charging. What that means is that most users have two batteries-they drop one for charging while using one with the phone for the day and drop by in the evening to pick up the charged and drop the used one for charging. Can you imagine that in the year 2012? And this is the country whose citizens are throwing their weight all over and pesin no fit hear word again? I don’t even think things are that bad in Somalia, Niger and or even Liberia! Is that the country you want people to take seriously? Damn!
People are talking rubbish because Nigeria is 9th in Internet speed? The assessors were overly generous. What do you expect from a country that cannot provide reliable power to its citizens? Your country is cursed and the sooner you wake up to that reality the better it’ll be for you, dunce. How else can you explain the fact that your country is the 7th largest producer of crude oil in the world and has one of the largest gas reserves and yet cannot provide regular electricity? How do you explain the fact that your country has four refineries yet you import all your refined fuel? How do you explain the fact that your country used to send crude to Ivory Coast to refine and bring back to your country for domestic use? How do you explain the fact that more than 90% of you survive on less than $2 a day despite your so-called oil wealth? How do you explain the fact that no serious academic activity is going on at any Nigerian university? Your female students are prostitutes and your male students are either armed robbers or cult members. All you need do is bribe your lecturer, sleep with them or simply intimidate or harass them and you are a guaranteed a university degree in your miserable nigeria! Why do you think they are all flocking to Ghana to seek better quality education? It is only in Nigeria that a university graduate cannot write in English. I know one such lady at NTA Abuja. She can’t write English and can barely speak it.
How many of you in Nigeria can go to sleep at night with your two eyes shut? How many per capita have access to potable water compared with Ghanaians? How many in comparative terms have access to sound education? What is the infant and maternal rate in nigeria compared with Ghana?
Can you imagine a clueless bombastic slowpoke saying Ghana’s is equal to Lagos in size and GDP or some rubbish like that? Now in terms of size, Nigeria is 3.8 times the size of Ghana. That one is not difficult to establish, or is it? So tell me is lagos one quarter the size of Nigeria? You need to get your heads examined, morons! Do you know the number of airlines flights per day between Accra, lagos and Abuja. Go and find out and you’ll be amazed. And while your fragile brain is seeking that answer, also find out how many trips per day Nigerian transporters like ABC,Cross Country,Ikene de Chukwu etc etc make to Ghana daily. Thousands of your people come every single day to Ghana. Nigerians are all over the place some buying stuff to take back to Nigeria.

I kinda find it very demeaning responding to a mentally deficient slowpoke like you. By characterisation and definition you are an armed robber, a rapist, kidnapper, terrorist, ritualist, an occultist, an extortionist or a 419ner.
Come back and talk to me when you are able to start providing electricity and clean water to your people, when you can organise free and credible elections-every election in nigeria is like war! Come back and talk to me when your schools start producing literate students. Come back to me when you country begins to show signs that it can be taken seriously, and it is no more a joke or an embarrassment! Yippee. Nigeria jagajaga abi na BBC? Yeye pipple!

Chei chei chei

TKO

SMH

where can i hide?

well we know what happens to one man business in the face of competition, when you have just one person tweaking the codes and running the business aspect at the same time waving off suggestions for improvements

these guys are not smiling, only 'yesterday' i was among those watching iroko on youtube, dis year they got $8m backing = exposure is a good thing sha

But then again i guess he can stick his tongue out and say wetin u don do sef

Bontee: I believe he started before them and nothing stops him from doing the right thing because these people just only need to encroach into this social sector and nairaland will be relegated. Facebook overtook myspace when they thought they were the shit, Apple came to change the rules of the game in mobiles, and google came to wipe msn and yahoo from the search business. Other Nigerian newspapers have to open up their sites to comments when they saw the followership of saharareporters, 234next and vanguard newspapers.

Bontee: Please there is no connection between PDP and the factors stalling the passage of the bill so leave them out of this sir.

how can you say theres no connection between the pdp and the passing of the bill..what is stalling the bill then?


I'm just wondering where the bill is anyway; one would expect a bill backed by the PDP executive will get a backing from a PDP dominant house abi

I mean conventional wisdom will mean Obama should have a problem passing a bill when the Democrats are the dominant party in the house
the obstacles come from the opposition, any in house opposition can be dealt with over time

they don't want visitors or something? First time i'm hearing of it!!!

I'd have love to visit this place when in Lagos, Looks promising

Sisi Kill

You don crase finish o

Anatummy

he is trying considering its 'one man business' the others you compoare him with have partners
or backers hence the pressure to grow and make a return

wey this bill sef?


in a PDP dominant assembly you'd think these sort of bills get considerable amount of debate till its passed

dis dodo guy wey dey rock just dey chop bread and abakaliki rice

ayo111uk: They do accept debit/credit from Nigerian as l paid with one in March 2012. All l was told was that l have to show the card at the Airport.

Same here, bought tickets early for February for a journey in march '12. they didn't even request to see my card

_{though their service is shyte, lagos airport hot, their plane sef na oven, will be sticking to KaLeM}

blacklion: If you are now based in Nigeria full-time or plan to return to Nigeria permanently and you have a wife and kids, having a residential building can be a form of 'insurance' in case of the worst. Nigeria is a very insecure country. At least, your children will have a place to lay their heads without any landlord wahala while your widow struggles to put food on the table, pay school fees etc.

ehn?

LeoMax: THERE IS NO NEED TO MAKE ONESELF UNHAPPY, I BELIEVE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO IN NIGERIA IS MAKE A LOT OF MONEY, IF YOU NEED FAST INTERNET FOR WHAT EVER REASON AND USE, GET A C-BAND VSAT INSTALLED, ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION IS LIKE $1200 A YEAR. IN THIS COUNTRY, IF YOU WANNA STAY COMPLAINING, YOU WILL BE VERY UNHAPPY. GOOD THING IS WE DONT PAY AS MUCH TAX AS THE AMERICANS PAY TO THE IRS, SO ONE CAN USE THE FUNDS TO LIVE A GREAT LIFE. IT DOESNT MATTER HOW, JUST MAKE A LOT OF MONEY.

Long live Nigeria !!!

JW214: I see Nigerians enjoying good unlimited internet when these following conditions are met:

Have uninterupted power supply, so that the ISPs will cut cost of powering their equipment with generators.

Have a good ICT(socio-Economic)policy network that will enable a free market

When consumers are ready and willing to pay for data used, not cutting corners and looking for free internet....

The list continues....

this damn line is played out jor!!

When Nigerians are ready to pay for xyz they will get it

we pay more for phone lines, the quality is still poor

We are/will be paying more for electricity i doubt the quality will be any better

we pay through the nose for air transport, na so so flight cancellation and molue service

We are paying for 'high speed' internet the crazy thing will hang
