Good points up there

Questions that even the alienated and clueless Jona cannot answer withot setting up another wasteful committee.

Omimah:
As long as it is not MASSOB.

Exactly!
We cant risk betrayals and factions as common with those fraudsters!

Greed and materialism is too common with some people.

You don't sound to be wise.

OP, the greatest insult to Nigeria and Nigerians have been coming from GEJ. What has been your reaction?

Longeria:
Sorry for you.

You are a zombie. You're not capable of such emotion.

sademola:

This is how Jona will display his prison number in 2015

benega:
Bro but u know deep down jona won't need 2 rig, he has d support of d masses.

Nay! Jona's only got the support of the thieving elites and indicted looters whose lives and liberty hinges on the failing clueless thug's presidency.
Need I remind you that GEJ is the grand patron of thieves, looters, rascals, touts, militants, swindlers, impunity andN of course, daftness?

You are not igbo

How did you come about that? Is it because you have concluded that critical thinking is very rare among the Ibos?

6 Things To Never Say During An Interview



Believe it or not, it only takes one sentence to turn a great interview into a lost employment opportunity. After 10 years of running a recruiting firm, I can tell you that interviewers actively seek out the negative traits in the job seekers whom they meet.

Be aware that the following sentences and phrases turn employers off and, thus result in wasted time meeting with the hiring manager. Therefore, it’s imperative to focus on avoiding the following statements, questions and phrases.

1. “I want to own my own business.” An entrepreneurial ambition is an aspiration best left unsaid. While it’s a productive goal, hiring managers interpret it as quite the opposite. They don’t see ambition, but rather a potential threat.

Primarily this is due to the fact that employers fear turnover and stolen proprietary information.

Not only do turnovers carry heavy opportunity cost (managers don’t want to invest time in those whom they feel may be a future flight risk), but they also leave the organization open to insider information being leaked. The last thing a firm wants or needs is to train a future competitor.

2. How am I doing? Employers want to hire those who are confident. When you ask for feedback during the interview, not only do you leave yourself open to having to confront negative assumptions, you also come across as insecure which is a byproduct of being ineffective. Moreover, you look weak when asking this question. Interviewers gravitate towards employees who display strength. Begrundgingly or gladly, we respect people who display strength and self-assurance.

3. “Like” and “Um.” These interjectory phrases allude to the inability to concentrate or think on one’s feet. Especially for higher level positions, these unnecessary verbal connectors are sometimes associated with a lack of intelligence or lack of interest. Additionally, interviewers can read this as a sign of inefficiency and inability to apply critical thinking skills.

These interjections can also hurt your tone of voice and ability to persuade as most interviewers will respond positively to vocal consistency. It can bore the audience when you attempt to elaborate on your answers. Finally, saying “um” and “like” will lead to the interviewer shying away from their main points and losing brevity in their statements.

4. “What does your company do?” This is the holy grail of things to never say during an interview. There is no more effective way to turn an interviewer off than to ask this inquiry. It shows a blatant disregard for their time and alludes to a poor work ethic. Researching specific facts about a company gives the impression that you are thorough in your work, interested in the position and fully invested in getting the job.

5. “I need to make x amount of dollars.” The most important lesson in persuasion is that you can’t expect others to care about what you want. If you desire to become more persuasive, get in the habit of addressing the concerns of others before asking about your needs. The most effective interviewees give the hiring manager what they want first, then speak about money later. As a result, they end up getting more money.

6.  How long is this interview going to take? People always strive to feel important and the interviewer is no different. Show that they are not a priority and you’ve just wasted your time as this will inevitably (in the majority of circumstances) turn the individual off to your needs.

In the End

If you’re going to go out of your way to interview, make it worth your while. Execute by avoiding common pitfalls described above and you’ll be well ahead of the game.

Even the best ibo governor and highest leader could be treated with contempt like this. Without respect from the PDp that ibos make noise about and create enemies for themselves on a daily bases...
I Dey Laugh!!!

DONGOYARO1:
You must be ignorant or outrightly insane to assume that i am excited over the onslaught of a terror group that is despoiling my region and killing my people in their thousands.

I have friends and relatives who have lost life and limbs to Boko Haram but what can one do when you have a useless and inept commander-in-thief who is more concerend about his political ambition than the territorial intergrity of his country and life of his citizens?

Boko haram had been attempting to take Mubi since last night without any resistance from the NA until insurgents broke through today. Sadly, students are still trapped inside the hostels of Adamawa state University & Federal Poly, Mubi. Ironically, Vimtim, the home town of CDS Alex Badeh, who foolishly anounced a fictitious ceasefire is now also under threat

Ignore that idiotic TANoid. Their stupidity is very predictable like their clueless patron.

God have mercy on those helpless students. GEJ has abandoned them for the next PDP rally.
A very disturbing and heartbreaking development, knowing fully well the satanic boko haram's stance on education and the enduring plight of the missing shibok girls.

NafeesaAA:
My Mubi under siege, still can't believe it, three of my Cousins are still unaccounted for,

May God hear your cries and send you help from above.

win1234:
God save Mubi, Michika & Nigeria as a whole

Amen to that!

It was an embarrasing sight as hundreds of soldiers were allegedly seen fleeing the town of Mubi in Adamawa State because of strong indications that Boko Haram insurgents were making advances to take over the town.

This is worrisome! Just when we thought peace is returning to this troubled region.

Boko Haram militants have entered Mubi in Adamawa State, taking over the headquarters of the 234 battalion in the town, which is one of the State’s largest.



Suspected Boko Haram members

The action comes just months after they took Michika and several of Adamawa’s other important towns.

Residents and fleeing troops told SaharaReporters that the militants arrived around noon after successfully attacking neighboring towns in an overwhelming attack that began last night.

Nigerian troops guarding the barracks initially exchanged fire with the militants but fled after more militants arrived in the area with heavy firepower.

He should also stop blackmailing the First Lady who has demanded nothing from him other than good governance, justice, equity, fairness, real development and progress in Rivers State.

Ridiculous. Same demands the sheppo couldn't make on PDP like Uduaghan, TA Orji and Dickson (abi na Prickson)

One could think the elections were already held and that The General has won it.
He shall maintain this momentum till after the elections proper, by the grace of God!

Right step and wise decision.

APC, Change!
