missuniverse: world wivout end

Dayjhihannon01: I'm τђε̣ one who bite τђε̣ half of Apple logo.....

dotcomnamename: [size=15pt]I was expecting Chelsea to beat Burnley 7-0, Mourinho is an average coach even Moyes can beat Burnely with up to 4-0.

It seems like Chelsea's world best player (Lizard Hazard) has been forgotten since the arrival of ''Flopgo-Costard'' with the Barcelona and Arsenal reject ''Cesc-Fabrepant''.

I thought Costard was gonna get a hattrick, he is an average striker even Arsenal young goal machine Yaya Sanogo who scored 4 goals in a single match can even score 5 goals against ordinary Burnley.

Yaya Sanogo of Arsenal-------------scored------ 4 Goals in a match

Diego Flop Costa of Chelsea-------scored------ 1 Goal in a match

Now you know why Chelsea burnt their £32 million on Flop Costa

They beat Burnley a small club and they're celebrating like they've won the World Cup lolz

Chelsea = the most overrated and noise making club in the world......lolzzzzz[/size]

anytexy: Arsenal is playing rubbish here oo. They dont deserve to win this match at all. I am no impressed

Yemisi63: A friend once swore she was going to help me get a job.
Few days after, I received a call from one lady while I was having my hair washed at a saloon. She told me my friend spoke to her about me and she requested we meet at a named 3 star hotel immediately or lose the 'big opportunity' for a job. With my hair still dripping wet, I dashed home and changed into something decent. As soon as I got there, someone directed me to the hotel's garden. Seated there were 3 guys and a lady. All of them wore a yellow t-shirt and they were fiddling with a laptop.
Oh, so I'm going to be registering SIM cards for MTN, I thought.
The first question she asked was if I am a computer literate.
"Yes" I quickly responded.
"Great! I'm actually a HR officer. My client will conduct the interview herself but I had to meet you first to be sure I'm recommending the right person.."

"I am the right person ma" I affirmed.

"Are you born again??" She asked.

That question knocked me off my feet.
Judging from that, It was obvious I was going to be an accountant for Deeper Life Church.
"Yes..I'm born again ma.'' I replied trying not to mince words.

"Beautiful!!" She exclaimed.
"Your interview is going to be at No bla bla bla by 9am on Saturday...its a new plaza in town. I don't need to go into the details of the job but I'm positive you're going to love it. Send your CV to bla bla bla mail. Also make copies of all your credentials and take it along. And pleases do something about that hair before Saturday. First impression matters you know." she added.

End of first interview. I heaved a sigh of relief and left the hotel.

Friday morning, sickness struck. Headache, fever remixed with cold and catarrh.
I contemplated between using the little money I had to make my hair or using the money to buy drugs and LIVE.
"Make your hair, get the job and use your salary to buy a pharmacy." The devil commanded.

If I pass the interview, the sickness might disappear out of excitement, I thought.
The next morning, I was on my way to the interview with the most painful Ghana braids on my hair. My bad health was not helping matters.
To be honest, the malaria had me looking like a fairly used chicken.
I also went with a Ghana must go bag of all my certificates (except my death certificate) only to realise it was a small ugly, stuffy bookshop without a standing/ceiling fan to cool down my temper.
My temper at that point was capable of boiling yam for a family of 3.
If I had my way, I would have tattooed the meaning of plaza on the HR forehead. Smh
My potential employer had not arrived yet so I used the opportunity to peruse the books on a dusty shelf.
A couple of Joyce Meyer books, books on wildlife, one Daily Manna devotional, Igbo men success stories books, history books, a couple of encyclopedia, and some other random boring looking books.
By 9:30, Madam CEO arrived and the interview process commenced.
She fired me a number of JAMB questions like she was sent to hire me as an accountant for Aso Rock.

As God would have it, I impressed her.

Then she began her speech...
"This plastic chair you are sitting on is going to be your office. You are to report from Monday to Saturday and your job runs from 8am to 6pm."

Before I could utter, what time will I use to search for a husband then?
She cut me and continued her cool story.
"You are the customer care representative, office assistant, and marketer of this place."
Upon hearing that, I had to peep at the wall mirror to check whether I have three heads. Does this woman think my head is 3 in one or what?
She went on...

"You would also assist Lilian, the sales girl in drawing accounts. Every Wednesday is marketing days. You are to take some of the books to churches, banks and offices to sell them. These are nice books so its going to be easy for you. That should enable you network."

Wonderful! With this sort of job, my salary should be such that I would be able to ride a Buggati to my village in 6 months time.

She was not done with me...

As a customer care rep, you have to try to read all the books in this shop. People will call to request information about one book or the other that's why."
My head harddrive had crashed upon hearing that.
Are you kidding me? Woman, I don't even read sign board these days!
I didn't want to hear more.
"How much is my salary?" I deadpanned

She paced around for a few seconds before dropping the bombshell.
"Salary is N10000!"

The last time I checked, Nigeria abolished slavery.
I broke into laughter. A laughter of misery and frustration.
To add insult to the injury, she began to yak on how there are no jobs in Nigeria. In her words "I better accept the offer. People will kill to have this job."

Even if I were stupid enough to take the shitty job, my transportation to and fro the bookshop was roughly N8000 a month. Tithe is 1k. Basically, I'll go home with 1K every month at my age, stage and relationship status?

Waste of Ghana braids!
I just wanted to loosen my braids there in her office and force her to swallow the attachment.
"Thank you madam for your offer!" I muttered.
If I had spent an extra minute in there, I would have probably be tumbling down the book shelves.

I packed what was left of my dignity and sicknesses and hurried out of her book kiosk.
As for my friend, we've not spoken to ourselves since then.

naptu2: How can you not mention Awolowo Road, Ikoyi?

Many of Nigeria's biggest tv stars and most famous businessmen lived on Awolowo Road in the 1970s and '80's (don't forget that the Presidency was located on Ribadu Road, off Awolowo Road). It became the home to most of the best shops in Nigeria in the mid-1980s to mid-1990's. Then the banks took over in the 1990s and now the shops are back.

It has some of the most expensive real estate in Lagos.

henchamb: they should go nah. who is begging them.

Syncan: I welcome everyone visiting and posting here for the first time, this is a place catholics meet without distractions to socialise and encourage one another. Questions are asked, answers given, issues discussed, and lots more.

God bless us all.

Yemlizzy: Freshener and sharpener have a definite rhyme scheme.

damerry: If you may ask of scriptural backup, here's a few.

Specific Old Testament passages On The Assumption of Mary

"Arise, O Lord, into your resting place: you and the ark, which you have sanctified" (Ps. 132 verse 8 );

The Ark of the Covenant, built of incorruptible wood and placed in the Lord's temple, is a type of the most pure body of the Virgin Mary, preserved and exempt from all the corruption of the tomb and raised up to such glory in heaven.

Likewise, Mary is the Spouse of the Canticles "that goes up by the desert, as a pillar of smoke of aromatical spices, of myrrh and frankincense" to be crowned (Song 3:6; cf. also 4:8, 6:9).

These are proposed as depicting that heavenly Queen and heavenly Spouse who has been lifted up to the courts of heaven with the divine Bridegroom.

Specific New Testament passages On The Assumption Of Mary

Mary is that woman clothed with the sun whom John the Apostle contemplated on the Island of Patmos (Rev. 12:1ff)

Similarly, giving special attention to these words of the New Testament:

"Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women"(Luke 1:28)

in the mystery of the Assumption, is the fulfillment of that most perfect grace granted to the Blessed Virgin and the special blessing that countered the curse of Eve.

SalC: Right from the early times, we have always read even in the scriptures, of those who walked with God and neither saw death nor did we read of their body decaying

The scriptures recorded of Enoch,
He spent his life in fellowship with God and then he disappeared because God took him. Gen 5:24

We also read of God taking away the prophet Elijah in 2kings 2:11

This has been a way God took away a selected few who walked in union with him. If you study Rev 12, you will notice God took the women to a place prepared for her.

Hope this helps.

VolvoS60:

This is heartbreaking.

I am fed up with saying RIP with each fresh calamity.

I refuse to believe that the quality of our lives cannot improve. Nigerian roads have been slaughter slabs for how long? 10? 20? 40? 50 years? Don't we deserve better? These people had families and loved ones.

This harvest of death is totally avoidable.

We must choose governments that fear us (we the people) enough to live up to their responsibilities or these needless deaths will continue.

The choice is ours.

MissMeiya: Bought a couple of coconuts on the way home yesterday! I was really excited about them, so I decided to make coconut rice!

https://i.imgur.com/IARm3JV.jpg
^{(Amateur food photographer, here. Don't tease me )}

This morning, I had a glass of the fresh coconut milk I made last night. Sooo good.

https://i.imgur.com/rf2th3F.jpg
^{The thicker milk from the first straining, I used for the rice. The more diluted second and third straining, I kept aside to drink.}

Ok, so the recipe. I tried this one from Kauna Kitchen.com

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS
• 2 cups of rice
• 2 cups of fresh coconut milk
• 1 cup of chicken or beef stock
• 2 tablespoons of dry ground crayfish
• 1/2 an onion (finely diced)
• 2 tablespoons of vegetable/canola oil
• 2 seasoning cubes (knorr or maggi)
• Salt, to taste
• 1/4 of a scotch bonnet pepper/atarodo
• Dried meat/fish (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. Wash rice thoroughly and then parboil for 10 minutes. After parboiling the rice, wash it with some cold water; drain and set aside.

2. On medium heat, heat the oil in a medium sized pot; then add the diced onions and pepper. Saute the onions and pepper for about 2 minutes (the onions should still retain their colour and not turn brown).

3. Add the beef or chicken stock, coconut milk, crayfish, dried meat/fish, and seasoning cubes to the sauteed onions and pepper and bring to a boil.

4. Once the sauce starts boiling, add the parboiled rice; cover the pot and cook on medium-low heat for 20 minutes or until the rice is well cooked. (Check your rice occasionally to ensure it does not burn)

5. Serve with any side dish and meat of your choice.

(I served with fried plantain and homemade fruit juice. I remembered to put meat this time )

My mom really liked it. My dad, who never gives undeserved praise for food, gave me a thumbs up, LOL.

So, Nairaland, what's your coconut rice recipe?

macpetrus: Thank God...

TheMadame: I am happy the OP was finally able to take possession of his vehicle after five long months. Regardless of his apparent lack of gratitude towards all those who fought his battle for him,I am still happy for him that he is finally free from the oppressive yoke that inspired had placed on his neck. However I am sad at the end of this saga for a reason and only one reason. When the next episode of "my experience in the hand of inspired autos" occurs the victim might not have anyone to fight on their behalf because of the silly attitude of the OP in this thread.
Exits thread.

meforyou1: What rubbish is this? Where are the pictures?

onatisi: For those clamouring the op to make a longer statement or give further details ,let it be known that the op doesn't owe anybody any explanation and the call for more information is even childish . The decision to carry this matter on ppls head was solely taken by each individual and the op didn't force anyone to do it .if the op likes he may even decide to ask the mod to delete this thread .it isn't everyone that like publicity or things like that unlike some people on this thread .so if some people took the issue as if it was their own personal baby or personal car been involved ,then good luck to them. as far as the op and inspired are concerned this matter is closed and finish,let everybody face their own lives and problem. I don't know why some people are asking the op for the vin of his personal . car when they aren't the one that bought or sold the car for and to him. @op, I think at least you have gotten your car,just know that by accepting and driving it home means that you are satisfied with its condition.
