"I went over to the body where there was a lady sitting there and she said he was dead. She had comforted him by putting something under his back and a jacket over his head. I took his pulse and there was none. I couldn't see the man's face but I could see no evidence that suggested someone had tried to cut off his head. I could see nothing on him to suggest that he was a soldier.

"Then a black guy with a black hat and a revolver in one hand and a cleaver in the other came over. He was very excited and he told me not to get close to the body. I didn't really feel anything. I was not scared because he was not drunk, he was not on drugs. He was normal. I could speak to him and he wanted to speak and that's what we did.

"I spoke to him for more than five minutes. I asked him why he had done what he had done. He said he had killed the man because he [the victim] was a British soldier who killed Muslim women and children in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was furious about the British army being over there.

stop watch CNN watch BBC..the yanks love exaggerating everything

the reason people werent running scared was because the attackers themselves were very calm and they obviously had a target[armed forces]

PapaBrowne: I wondered yesterday about the blood factor and the fact that there was a total absence of panic on the scene.
I have never lived in UK, but I lived long enough in Europe and America to know the potential reaction in such a scenario. The other amazing thing is the time it took for the cops to get to the scene. Very unusual. Even in Nigeria, 20-30 mins is a long time. In a town like woolich, we should be talking maximum 5 mins before the cops get to the scene.
I'm not easily given to conspiracy theories and dont know what to think about it, but obviously something isnt right about the whole drama.

first call to the police was of assault, normal police were dispatched, susbsequent calls report weapons- thats when the firearm police were dispatched to the scene. arrived within 15mins

normal uk police dont have weapons

no amount of cashless, ebanking jargon can replace physical branch- there are cities with smaller population...

perhaps if these banks stop building huge castles in the name of banks they can cut down cost of running high street banks, they can fit everything into the size of a take away shop if they are efficient themselves, all these multi-storey buildings they are using doesnt make sense especially as they are not even accessible to everyone

they attempted to behead him

speaking to bystanders and were of course killed by the police AFTER they were in custody.

they were shot when they ran towards the police and they are even alive! so come again

funny world these niccas are getting treated by the nhs to stay alive smh
i guess they want information from them

Tgirl4real: GTB that is known for efficiency, innovation and promptness seems to have seriously declined in their service delivery.

Recently, I have had to spend more time in a GTB banking hall than the usual before I was attended to. Same with the queue at their ATM points. It seems the Online 24/7 centers they opened isn't achieving much.

The most annoying part is the fact that I have to get to where my account is domiciled before I can pick up my ATM card. You can just imagine! After ignoring them for several months, I finally went to pick it up yesterday. When I asked them why it couldn't be transferred, I was told they don't transfer within the same state. Rubbish!

On the other hand, First Bank is doing exceptionally well. You get a replacement for your ATM card within 10mins of making a request and the long queue in the banking hall has since been dealt with. Banking with them is now very convenient and fast. Superb IMO!

lost my card last year in abuja, was told it will take a week or two weeks to get a new card in lagos, but faster if i go to the 'main branch' doesnt make sense- spent two hours on a friday in one of their branches!

Another thing i dont understand with all banks= even with all their efficiency why they don't ever post anything to you, whats the point of taking customers address when you will be required to be physically present when you have a problem- all banks
statements are never posted, complaints will require physical presence etc etc- they should stop requesting your address then, imagine if other service providers also require proof of address like the banks do when opening an account

Darlo22: This book promises to be a good read, cant wait to get a copy...

You wrote the book, surely you should have a copy already!

an upward mobility consultant and an entrepreneur

ogini?

awodman: Good job CHANNELS TELEVISION...this how journalism should be..the TRUTH with no BLACKMAILS...
Good job Presidency...Good Job army Corp of engineers...
Police make una maintain this facilities well ooo..since money for maintainance has been provided...

but the president claimed the station was trying to blackmail its government!

awodman: I agree with you that those that caused this rot should be punished..but its unfair to rest the blame squarely on the current crop of management in the college..remember this a rot that has existed for decades...

if people aren't punished for their actions thing wont change in Nigeria!

awww poor Jonathan

why are they doing this to him, its so unfair!! nigerians should hug their president

...i suspect their managers

second time in how many years....

very interesting idea

AjanleKoko: LOL.
At all.
We are all Nigerians. All this foreign-trained, local-trained, worreva. We share a common destiny in my view.

Hopefully maybe this perspective will help people look at developing their soft skills. I do feel we have a serious problem with that. The way we communicate for one. There are actually courses that help people with business writing, speaking, and whatnot. That might well be better investment than all these PMP, CFA, worreva t[b]hat everybody prefers to accumulate.[/b]

in addition to what other forumite about the society in general

all these training/certificate sell over the others because companies perhaps use these as part of their screening tools
and the first advice most job seekers get is to do one or two courses or join some redundant institute like NIM

AjanleKoko: Was I ever really that harsh on y'all?

to be honest when i say the title, i was getting ready for the usual tongue lashing- thought some ediye-agric have stepped on ya toe at work again lol

AjanleKoko: My bad there. Lemme provide some small clarification, since I brought up the topic.
The summation stems from various discussions I've had with foreigners who work in Nigeria, and who all seem to prefer to work with people who have had some measure of experience outside Nigeria. Be it education or work experience.

From what I have identified, soft skills seem to be the problem they have with most of us Nigerians (yes, I am one of them!) who have schooled and worked almost exclusively in Nigeria. Hence the various items I have listed.

right on the money

I'm all for people travelling outside their farms- afam stop dreaming about ny just go biko

mediainspired: A HARSH TAKE ON FOREIGN-TRAINED NIGERIANS (my general observations).

1. Most of them are over-rated and not half as good, technical or rugged as the Nigerian-trained graduates.

2. Most of them bamboozle would-be employers with fake UK accents and those employes suffering from inferiority-complex are usually deceived and hire them with a smiling face.

3. Most of them are lazy and think top administrative work or supervisory roles over their Nigerian counterparts is their birthright.

4. They usually don't understand the business terrain in Nigerian and can run down a company quickly when handed the keys than a locally-trained Nigerian who knows his onions would.

5. Most of the training is just a waste. The real training they have is the first degree they got in Nigeria before leaving for overseas.

6. Most of them are hired as square pegs in round holes in Nigeria. No real job experience overseas, but they're quickly hired here becos of the foreign certificates (by would-be employers suffering from inferiority complex).

7. After my close relationship with some of them, one thing is clear to me: NO ONE CAN DAZZLE ME WITH A FOREIGN CERTIFICATE. U WILL NEED TO PROVE UR WORTH LIKE EVERYONE ONE ELSE!

mistook you for Mr Ajanlekoko for a sec

Is that the latest buzzword... Intel


intel and nigerian army= impossible


whats with all these funny press releases sef, we need videos, maps,! perhaps nigerian army cant work that out

mikeansy: Even the report by Al-Jazeera showing pictures of Brig Gen Olukayode was interpreting english to english due to poor quality of sound from NTA.

LOL

thats taking the mikey!

stillwater: Let's just wait for CNN or AlJazeera . God knows no Nigerian comm department would put themselves in the line of fire let alone any Nigerian media outlet e.g NTA [b]would cover this extensively. They could prove me wrong [/b]sha.

Nahh doubt it

Ordinary Mali across the road NTA cant peep,
till date the only pictures we get are those of the French troops
could even start a conspiracy no Nigerian army in Mali

stillwater: Lol, why you no volunteer yourself and go take pics in Bornu? Na joke abeg.

Abi na

All the budget for the Comm department includes pictures na

Vikin: Menh, you are obese! Eat healthy and hit the gym, not weight lift but race or skip, smthing to pump ur heart

Can we have current pictures not archives

ogugua88: [size=13pt]I said "considered". She's lost almost 100 pounds.[/size]

/: )

ugly Betty: I wish him speedy recovery, let him come back to work, his staff are missing him seriously.

how can you be missing your oga?

high level CBN delegation were at hand to receive him at the Nmadi Azikiwe International Airport.

busy eh?

What type of gun is that? in the first pic ?

ogugua88: [size=13pt]Mo'Nique isn't big anymore. Mo'Nique, who looks much trimmer, said she's about 218 pounds and her height is 5'9. Her BMI is 32.2.

We can be fair and give Omotola height. Let's say she's 5'10 and weighs 190. Her BMI would still be 27.3.[/size]

if mo'nique isn't considered big anymore then omotola is TINY!

27 with an active lifestyle to me healthy

eGuerrilla: ^^^
This is where the real challenge lies, in my opinion. There is no easy route to success here, and Nigerians are going to have to get used to seeing troops returning home in body bags, once the theater of war is extended to urban towns.

you are assuming the troops will hold fire in urban areas to avoid 'civilian' casualties

the same troops that don't hold back on rioters or students during protests

ogugua88: [size=13pt]From looking at her, I can tell you her BMI is above 25.[/size]

above by how much?#

she is obviously very active, shes nowhere near a mo'nique

her weight is not unhealthy jo!

some people think they sabi everything, look at her height her BMI cant be anywhere near unhealthy body shaper or not

and shes obviously very active

vicoloni: Zuma gave the exact figure of Nigerian tourists to SA last year. Can our presi boast of such info? Just asking sha

a committee is looking into it
