Nice one. We're just getting to know about this after the competition. BTW, is there any active chess thread on NL? Can someone post the link if any, if no can someone create one and post the link here?

Nō 1 is so true. You start noticing that as a corp member — employers "know" Corpers are cheap source of labour. Nigerian employers knows "there's no job"; many of them are out there to take advantage of you. Try to be yourself after school and service, try to be yourself despite unemployment. God is with us.

What is this one saying?

So all those head slamming has gone like that...wasted??

Alhamdulilah. Thank God for the life of the Imam.

Hi. Please is there departmental exam for MBA Agribusiness?

Seun, look @ google. Why can't we have something like this on NL?

A cool satirical tone.

MrExpensive:
stated you will receive allowances due for officers of your category, after the figure I quoted... So are they going to add allowance? The amount is too small

Hi Op. Concerning the letter given to you were given and what salary you'll be receiving , these are what I can say:
Firstly, consolidated salary should mean your (basic) salary join together with whatever bonus. But looking at your letter it's stated that you will receive alawee according to your category.

I can tell you that, what you will receive is the figure written in your letter (680k) + performance allowances. Since it's a government organization the performance or whatever alawee will be based on performance of the organization, say output. Meaning if the organization experience boom, you could receive salary as high as almost double the amount written in your letter. If the organization isn't doing well you're 'least' likely to get below 680k, meaning you will still get 680k.

Op, since the letter further by stating you'll receive bonus after writing 680k, somehow the HR who typed the letter may have justify the 'consolidated' he used, that's 680k + 'possibly' allowance. I write this to the best of my knowledge, people who know better can come and correct if any mistake.

Hope this will help. Thanks.


All the figures I use are per annum.

Let's hope this grant get to the right people.

I think the annual salary structure for CORAISS (Consolidated Research and Allied Institutes Salary Structure) level 8 N 2 is 1291257 (2010 FG salary review). This is contrary to 68**** figure you said was written in the letter received. Well, maybe 8/2 in the letter mean something else, probably salary for level 8/2 * 1291257. The figure given if correct should be the annual salary.

If you are obliged to do something or forced into a situa

Ameen.

Salaam aleykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh. Congratulations to us for making it to this year Ramadan, Alhamdulilah.
As we all know, this is a month for exclusive Ibadah which a Muslim should try maximize rewards. Key to this is time management techniques.

The following are time management techniques during Ramadan :


1. Calculate how much Ibaadah time you will have daily
Ideally, we all want to spend Ramadan performing acts of worship 24/7, but this isn’t realistic and most of us have other obligations that we need to take care of as well. So work out in advance how much time you will have daily for Ibaadah, then set goals to get that much Ibaadah done. The formula is simple: 24 Hours – (Sleep time, Work Time, Family Responsibility) = Ibaadah time.
If for example, you have 3 hours of ibaadah time, you can schedule in an hour of Qur’an reciting, an hour of studying Islam and an hour for dua and Dhikr. You can really get a lot done if you stick with this formula for the entire month.


2. Set Clear Goals
Now that you know how much Ibaadah time you have available daily, the next step is to set S.M.A.R.T goals. S.M.A.R.T means that the goal is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound. For example, if your goal is to study some Tafsir this Ramadan, the problem with this goal is that it is too vague (which Tafsir), not measurable (How many pages), and not attainable or realistic (does one page of Tafsir fulfil the goal or five books of Tafisr?).
A S.M.A.R.T goal would be: I want to complete studying this 800 page book of Tafsir this Ramadan. In order to complete 800 pages in 29 days, I need to read an average of 28 pages a day.


3. Allocate time for each goal:
Now that your goals for Ramadan are clearly defined and you know how much time you have daily for Ibaadah, the next step is to combine this by allocating specific times daily for chasing each goal. Eg: If you have the goal of reading 30 pages of Tafsir daily and that will take you an hour, and you know that you have an hour a day free every evening before Tarawih, then allocate that time to be your Tafsir time. Set a specific time of the day for reciting Qur’an (perhaps before or after Fajr), making dua (before Iftar), having a family Halaqa (after Asr or after Tarawih) and any other goals you are working towards.


4. Utilize the early hours of the morning:
In Summer countries, Suhoor is quite early and many people can’t wake up too early before it. In that case, I recommend utilizing an hour after Suhoor for Ibaadah. In Winter countries, Suhoor is quite late, so waking up an hour before it is easier. In such countries, I recommend waking up an hour earlier and dedicating that time to Qiyam Al-Layl (Tahajjud), dua and reciting Qur’an. The early mornings are known having Barakah (blessings) and it is a time when we are not pre-occupied with work and family obligations. Use it!


5. Schedule in a family Halaqa:
Ramadan is the perfect time for the family to bond and grow in Imaan together. The devils are locked up and everybody is more spiritual. This spirituality needs to be nurtured so that we can benefit from it after Ramadan. One way to do this is to establish a family Halaqa (study circle). Read a chapter of an Islamic book (or listen to a lecture) then discuss its contents with each other. Continue this even after Ramadan.


6. Dedicate time daily for Qur’an:
Ramadan is the month of Qur’an and so it is obvious that time must be dedicated daily to Qur’an. In some communities, people recite Qur’an very quickly each Ramadan to get it over with or complete as many Qur’an recitals as possible. Instead of doing this, focus on reciting properly, studying the Tafsir and reflecting on its meanings. This will have a longer lasting effect on one’s Imaan and Taqwa.


7. Avoid Multi-Tasking
This is a general time management tip that applies outside Ramadan as well. Studies show multi-tasking actually slows down productivity and causes sloppy work. Modern time management experts agree that focusing on one task at a time gets the task done faster with better quality than multi-tasking. Don’t try to recite Qur’an, while browsing through Facebook and taking care of a child all at the same time. The same applies to studying Tafsir or making dua. Choose a place, time and situation in which you will have the least distractions and give the act of worship your undivided focus.


8. Fast from excessive socializing
This includes both social media and physical socialization. Ramadan is the month of Itikaf. One of the goals of Itikaf is to take a break from our social lives so that we can focus on our relationship with Allah. If you are unable to make Itikaf, you can still get this benefit in Ramadan by cutting down on socializing and dedicating more time to Ibaadah. Attend a few less Iftaar parties, log into Facebook and Twitter for shorter durations and excuse yourself from unnecessary gatherings.


9. Stay Healthy
You cannot accomplish your goals if you are feeling lazy, weak, agitated or sleep-deprived. Some of us do too much during the first few days of Ramadan and end up without any energy to push on for the remainder of Ramadan. Pace yourself and take care of your body by getting enough sleep, eating healthy and staying hydrated.
The average person needs between 6-8 hours sleep a night, so make sure you are getting it, even if it means going to bed a bit earlier. Avoid sugary and oily foods and eat wholesome foods for both Suhoor and Iftaar. Drink a lot of water at night before bed as that will keep you hydrated during the day.
May Allah make this Ramadan a productive and blessed one for all of us. Ameen.

Allahuma baligna Ramadan. Ameen.

OK.

This EVM surely has its own pros and cons. Hope this adoption of EVMs will fulfil its purpose. The weight is of concern though, just 10kg.
Think SIECOM should have made these things be more or less like a safe in weight, we all know what can happen in polling boots. Not just in weight only, think these machines need to be fortify with various protective mechanisms, remember SIECOM already lost about 140 EVMs to 'fire'.
All the same wish these machines fulfil what Rufai envisions.

Are you for real? Cos I can see campaign post too. If you're for real then there's advice.

See.

if u don't spot DAT dia, it doesn't mean Islam supports killings. go get a life And move ur hatred outta Muslim thread

[quote author=Embell post=67067454]


IDOLATRY IS FORBIDDEN, A MUSLIM SHOULD NOT KILL(E.G EXCEPT FOR LIFE FOR LIFE OFFENCE), FORNICATION ATTRACTS PUNISHMENT
68 Those who invoke not with Allah any other god nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred except for just cause not commit fornication and any that does this (not only) meets punishment
69 (But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him and he will dwell therein in ignominy

https://www.nairaland.com/4474890/some-qualities-good-muslim-light. Salaam aleykum.

In Suratul Furqan, chapter 25 of the glorious Quran Allah outline some characteristics and qualities expected of His true servants. All contain therein are those things He forbid and His warning. Allah also give glad tidings to those who are steadfast. The following are the some characteristics expected of a good servant of Allah in the light of Quran, between verse 63 and 77 of Suratul Furqan :


A GOOD MUSLIM SHOULD WALK WITH HUMILITY AND REPLY VERBAL ATTACKERS WITH PEACE.
63.And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility and when the ignorant address them they say "Peace!"

A MUSLIM IS ENCOURAGE TO SPEND PART OF HIS NIGHT IN PRAYERS AND WORSHIP.
64 Those who spend the night in adoration of their Lord prostrate and standing;

PRAYER IS AN ACT OF WORSHIP
65 Those who say "Our Lord! avert from us the Wrath of Hell for its Wrath is indeed an affliction grievous
66 "Evil indeed is it as an abode and as a place to rest in";

A GOOD MUSLIM SHOULD NOT BE LAVISH OR SPEND MISERLY
67 Those who when they spend are not extravagant and not niggardly but hold a just (balance) between those (extremes);


IDOLATRY IS FORBIDDEN, A MUSLIM SHOULD NOT KILL(E.G EXCEPT FOR LIFE FOR LIFE OFFENCE), FORNICATION ATTRACTS PUNISHMENT
68 Those who invoke not with Allah any other god nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred except for just cause not commit fornication and any that does this (not only) meets punishment
69 (But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him and he will dwell therein in ignominy

ALLAH WANT US TO REPENT FROM BAD DEEDS AND REPENTANCE BRINGS ONE CLOSE TO ALLAH.
70 Unless he repents believes and works righteous deeds for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good and Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful
71 And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah with an (acceptable) conversion


DON'T MAKE FALSE WITNESS.
72 Those who witness no falsehood and if they pass by futility they pass by it with honorable (avoidance);

DO NOT TURN AWAY FROM THE TRUTH OF ALLAH SIGNS
73 Those who when they are admonished with the Signs of their Lord droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind:

PRAYER IS AN ACT OF WORSHIP AND IT PLEASES ALLAH.
74 And those who pray "Our Lord! grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous."

REWARD FOR DOING OBEYING HIM; DOING GOOD AND FORBIDDING BAD IS PARADISE.
75 Those are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven because of their patient constancy; therein shall they be met with salutations and peace
76 Dwelling therein how beautiful an abode and place of rest!

CALLING NOT ON ALLAH DOES NOT MAKE HIM UNEASY. ALLAH'S WARNINGS AND PUNISHMENT ARE REAL.
77 Say (to the rejecters): "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if ye call not on Him but ye have indeed rejected (Him) and soon will come the inevitable (punishment)!"


May Allah make it easy for us. Salaam aleykum.

Good manner is prescribed upon every Muslims by Allah, that's why He made references to it in various verses of the Quran. That's what Allah use to qualify the Prophet so that we may know how much important it is in life of a Muslim.

Aliamdulilah. Any Muslim that lacks patience has lost great things because patience is the bedrock of contentment, which is absolute happiness in life.

Jazakha Llahu khaira

Wa aleykum salaam warahmatullah.

https://www.nairaland.com/4449907/virtues-patience-light-noble-quran

Embell:
According to Marriem-Webster dictionary patience is the capacity, habit, or fact of being patient, while patient is being able to remain 
calm and not become annoyed when waiting for a long time or when dealing with problems or difficult people.

In Arabic, patience translates into Sabr, written ﺻَﺒْﺮٌ . ﺻَﺒْﺮٌ and references to ﺻَﺒْﺮٌ are mentioned about 90 times in the Quran signifying how important it is for a Muslim.

Patience is in fact the hallmark of a good Muslim, it's a prescription from almighty Allah upon us Muslims and the rest of man kind as well.

The following are teachings of ﺻَﺒْﺮٌ in light of the Quran:

1. Instruction. Patience is enjoined upon believers:
ﻭﺍﺻﺒﺮ ﻭﻣﺎ ﺻﺒﺮﻙ ﺇﻻ ﺑﺎﻟﻠﻪ
“And be patient for your patience is but by Allah…” [an-Nahl 16:127]
ﻭﺍﺻﺒﺮ ﻟﺤﻜﻢ ﺭﺑﻚ
” Await in patience the command of your Lord…” [at-tur 52:48].


2. That which is opposite to patience is forbidden:
ﻭﻻ ﺗﺴﺘﻌﺠﻞ ﻟﻬﻢ
and be in no haste about them (disbelievers) [al-Ahqaf 46:35].
ﻭﻻ ﺗﻬﻨﻮﺍ ﻭﻻ ﺗﺤﺰﻧﻮﺍ
“So lose not heart nor despair…” [Al ‘Imran 3:139].
ﻭﻻ ﺗﻜﻦ ﻛﺼﺎﺣﺐ ﺍﻟﺤﻮﺕ ﺇﺫ ﻧﺎﺩﻯ ﻭﻫﻮ ﻣﻜﻈﻮﻡ
“…and be not like the Companion of the Fish [i.e. Yunus [alayhissalaam] – when he cried out in agony” [al-Qalam 68:48].


3.Patience is made a condition of success and prosperity:
ﻳﺎ ﺃﻳﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﺍﺻﺒﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﺻﺎﺑﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﺭﺍﺑﻄﻮﺍ ﻭﺍﺗﻘﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻟﻌﻠﻜﻢ ﺗﻔﻠﺤﻮﻥ
O you who believe, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful [Al ‘Imran 3:200].


4. The rewards of those who exercise patience will be doubled:
ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻳﺆﺗﻮﻥ ﺃﺟﺮﻫﻢ ﻣﺮﺗﻴﻦ ﺑﻤﺎ ﺻﺒﺮﻭﺍ
“These shall be granted their reward twice, because they are steadfast…” [al-Qasas 28:54].
ﺇﻧﻤﺎ ﻳﻮﻓﻰ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺑﺮﻭﻥ ﺃﺟﺮﻫﻢ ﺑﻐﻴﺮ ﺣﺴﺎﺏ
“…Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account.” [az-Zumar 39:10].
Sulayman ibn Qasim said that
the reward of every deed is known, except for the reward of patience, which will be like heavy rain .


5. Patience and Eemaan are prerequisites for leadership in religion:
ﻭﺟﻌﻠﻨﺎ ﻣﻨﻬﻢ ﺃﺋﻤﺔ ﻳﻬﺪﻭﻥ ﺑﺄﻣﺮﻧﺎ ﻟﻤﺎ ﺻﺒﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﺑﺂﻳﺎﺗﻨﺎ ﻳﻮﻗﻨﻮﻥ
“And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and [when] they were certain of Our signs. “ [as-Sajdah 32:24].


6.Patience is the way to earn the companionship of Allah:
ﻭ ﺍﺻﺒﺮﻭﺍ ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻣﻊ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺑﺮﻳﻦ
“…and be patient. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.” [al-Anfal 8:46].
Abu Ali ad-Daqqaq said:
“ People who have patience are the true winners in this world and the next, because they have the companionship of Allah .”


7. Allah will reward those who have patience with a threefold reward: blessings, mercy and guidance:
ﻭﺑﺸﺮ ﺍﻟﺼﺎﺑﺮﻳﻦ
ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺇﺫﺍ ﺃﺻﺎﺑﺘﻬﻢ ﻣﺼﻴﺒﺔ ﻗﺎﻟﻮﺍ ﺇﻧﺎ ﻟﻠﻪ ﻭﺇﻧﺎ ﺇﻟﻴﻪ ﺭﺍﺟﻌﻮﻥ
ﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﺻﻠﻮﺍﺕ ﻣﻦ ﺭﺑﻬﻢ ﻭﺭﺣﻤﺔ ﻭﺃﻭﻟﺌﻚ ﻫﻢ ﺍﻟﻤﻬﺘﺪﻭﻥ
“…but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere – who say, when afflicted with calamity: ‘To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return’ – they are those on whom [descend] blessings from their Lord, and Mercy and they are the ones that receive guidance” [al-Baqarah 2:155-7].
When people came to offer their condolences to one of the salaf, for some calamity that had befallen him, he said:
“ Why should I not practice patience, when Allah has promised those who have patience three rewards, each of which is better than this world and everything in it
?“


8.Patience is a means of seeking Allah’s help:
ﻭﺍﺳﺘﻌﻴﻨﻮﺍ ﺑﺎﻟﺼﺒﺮ ﻭﺍﻟﺼﻼﺓ
“And seek assistance through patience and prayer…” [al-Baqarah 2:45].
So whoever has no patience has no help.
9.Patience and taqwa are conditions for Allah’s help and support:
ﺑﻠﻰ ﺇﻥ ﺗﺼﺒﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﺗﺘﻘﻮﺍ ﻭﻳﺄﺗﻮﻛﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻓﻮﺭﻫﻢ ﻫﺬﺍ ﻳﻤﺪﺩﻛﻢ ﺭﺑﻜﻢ ﺑﺨﻤﺴﺔ ﺁﻻﻑ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻤﻼﺋﻜﺔ ﻣﺴﻮﻣﻴﻦ
“Yes, if you remain patient and conscious of Allah and the enemy come upon you [attacking] in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels having marks [of distinction] “ [Al ‘Imran 3:125].


10.Patience and taqwa are a great protection against the cunning of enemies:
ﻭﺇﻥ ﺗﺼﺒﺮﻭﺍ ﻭﺗﺘﻘﻮﺍ ﻻ ﻳﻀﺮﻛﻢ ﻛﻴﺪﻫﻢ ﺷﻴﺌﺎ ﺇﻥ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺑﻤﺎ ﻳﻌﻤﻠﻮﻥ ﻣﺤﻴﻂ
“…And if you are patient and fear Allah , their plot will not harm you at all. Indeed, Allah is encompassing of what they do.…” [Al ‘Imran 3:120].
11.The angels will salute the people of patience in Jannah:
ﻭﺍﻟﻤﻼﺋﻜﺔ ﻳﺪﺧﻠﻮﻥ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻣﻦ ﻛﻞ ﺑﺎﺏ
ﺳﻼﻡ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺑﻤﺎ ﺻﺒﺮﺗﻢ ﻓﻨﻌﻢ ﻋﻘﺒﻰ ﺍﻟﺪﺍﺭ
“…And the angels will enter upon them from every gate, [saying],”Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final home.” [ar-Ra’d 13:23-24].


12.Allah made it permissible to treat our enemies no worse than they treat us, but He has made it clear that practising patience is better:
ﻭﺇﻥ ﻋﺎﻗﺒﺘﻢ ﻓﻌﺎﻗﺒﻮﺍ ﺑﻤﺜﻞ ﻣﺎ ﻋﻮﻗﺒﺘﻢ ﺑﻪ ﻭﻟﺌﻦ ﺻﺒﺮﺗﻢ ﻟﻬﻮ ﺧﻴﺮ ﻟﻠﺼﺎﺑﺮﻳﻦ
“And if you punish [an enemy, O believers], punish with an equivalent of that with which you were harmed. But if you are patient – it is better for those who are patient.” [an-Nahl 16:126].
