By the time the car came to a halt, the vehicle had made a complete 180° turn such that he was now facing tollgate. You know, the stuff (stunts) they do in movies....
Which is why I don't think it was brake failure like OP alluded to. It was a clear case of overspeeding. It was infact the screeching sound that initially drew my attention. Yes! the brakes were that sharp!

The particular guy in question was headed inwards from Tollgate. The spot where the accident happened cannot be more than 200m from tollgate. Yet he had attained so much speed that if you see the dent the dead guy's body made on the car, you'd never believe it was made by a human body. You'd think it was another vehicle that made the dent. The force was so much that the guy's hair was left on the cracked windshield. Now the question is why that much speed? You'd think he was trying to reach 100km/hr in 0.3 seconds like they do on car shows. Where was he in a hurry to? Has he now gotten there? Haba! When no be F1.

Nd nigerian lifestyle na
D guy might have been unconscious for a while with a faint pulse but If something like that happens ppl will just stsy from far and take pic and be on their way home, nigerians dont even know about first aid and even those that do dont make any attempt to help....somebody can even b shouting help and they will be taking pics.
Even worse is the attitude of the police and hospitals

Im sure if somebody picked that guy or tried to even see if there was a way to help the guy, the attitude of hospital staff would have still led to his death which would then be pinned on the innocent good samaritan by the police

This country na, which way

Bros forget. I doubt he was ever unconscious.

Maximus85:
A bread seller was killed in that same area some weeks back. What is happening?

Nothing but overspeeding. Nigerians can be reckless.

uzoclinton:
Lets face the truth, if the man had stopped to perhaps see if he could help the man the public fit lynch am. so i guess self preservation kicked in when he realised what he did that was he fled...

it doesn't make what he did right though... RIP TO THE DEAD.

The driver didn't run away ooo. And he wasn't lynched. It was really really sad sha.

carzola:
Nigerians like bad news.. See the way they are standing to watch him Am sure he didn't die on the spot Buh heartless Nigerians who don't Know they should be rushing him to the Hospital instead of standing to take pics. May his soul rest in peace..

No bro, he died ON THE SPOT. There was no way he could have survived the impact.

opidalo:
I think it will do but it does have to look moderate and not conspicuous or flamboyant.

Ok. Thanks a lot.

Amakyzuu:
Lol... are u a guy or lady... cos i think its ladies that should be confused. for me, i dont even have a T-shirt... Guys in the house, who go borrow me.

Guy actually. And therein lies my problem. I only have regular shoes and All Stars (sneakers etc). I don't have anything that falls in the category of flat shoe....

opidalo:
AC means Assessment Center.
And a "flat shoe" means a shoe with a flat sole (without a heel).

Thanks. But will sneakers pass for a flat shoe?

opidalo:
According to news filtering to me (don't quote me), this isn't FMN's first AC. One they once conducted comprised of a group exercise, a written test and a panel interview. That's all I know for now. Google for the details

Bros, what is AC? Don't worry. I've gone through previous posts.....

Please house, what exactly is flat shoe?

What I don't understand is how mtn could have stopped them from being employed by other telcos after terminating the appointment. Which kind contract be dat

Our leaders forget UN is not Nigeria where only their cronies are placed in strategic positions. You see our life outside. You see how our leaders hinders the destiny of Nigerians. They'll leave Nigerians that are well qualified with experience, capacity and exposure to push the names of their in-laws, cousins, kin etc. We are done for in this country I tell you.

The UN has challenged Nigeria to push its qualified citizens forward for appointment and employment positions at the UN. The Director, Learning, Development and Human Resource Services of the UN, Victor Kisob, threw the challenge when Joan Ayo, Chairman, Federal Civil Service Commission, visited him. Ms. Ayo had led a delegation from the commission and Nigeria's Permanent Mission to the UN to Mr. Kisob on job opportunities for Nigerians, lamenting the country's under- representation at the organisation. Mr. Kisob told the UN correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria that the UN encouraged Nigerians to apply for jobs especially in the middle and senior cadres. "We still encourage Nigerians to apply for positions because we always look for the best and I believe that Nigeria has quite a reservoir of very qualified people in all fields of endeavours that the organisation looks for. "What I will encourage is for those who are in mid-career or senior levels to also look at positions within the organisation when we do advertise them because certainly we don't have experienced Nigerians at senior levels, directors and above level. "That's where I think I don't see there are many Nigerians but it will be good for us to also have them apply for positions at that level. "The government of Nigeria plays a role when it comes to positions at the Assistant-Secretary- General level and the Under-Secretary-General levels which the Secretary-General himself appoints individuals. "That's where the leadership of the country can interact directly with the Secretary-General and putting forward names of people the government believes are qualified to work at such levels in the organisation. "We do advertise the positions on the website when they come and we then also inform the Permanent Mission here in New York of the availability of positions at the high levels." The UN official pointed out that Nigeria had so many qualified citizens who could serve at the UN but wondered why they are not in the employment of the UN. He said Senegal has five Under-Secretaries- General and the Secretary-General of FIFA while Ethiopia has four Under-Secretaries-General at the UN. According to him, many African countries have special departments responsible for the recruitment of their nationals into key international positions. Mr. Kisob also urged Nigeria to use its strategic position to "take" international posts rather than wait for it to be given, advising the country to also push its best female candidates for the AU Chairman rather than rely on consensus. "The government has to understand that it has to play a global role, not just regional role, and you need to go back and re-strategise. "Our Heads of State need to keep putting up candidates who are qualified, especially women. The secretary-general has said 'give me women who are qualified and I will appoint them'. "It's been a long time since Prof. Ibrahim Gambari left the UN but his fingerprints are still everywhere in the UN," he said. Also speaking with NAN after the meeting, Ms. Ayo said she was at the UN "to share ideas to see how we can leverage into whatever UN is doing to improve on the situation in Nigeria. "I came out with three strong points that I believe we should work on at home. First, that our government should be more proactive in sponsoring people to work in the UN. "We raised the issue that we do not have sufficient representation and the Director brought out two or three issues. "The first one is that several governments identify people of integrity and of intellectual capability and they push them and so they get the UN job. "Another issue that he raised that I think we should look into is to have a database of such people at our fingertips because they are now coalescing on behalf of Africans such database that can be useful to them at this level and this environment that they too can push. "And finally, I saw an opportunity which I've been looking for them to download all jobs vacancies so that I too can advertise them on FCSC's website. Those are three things that I'm going back home with." Ms. Ayo had, at the meeting with the UN official, lamented over what she termed deficit in Nigeria's representation at the UN.

I watched Governor Amosun on tv at the Ondo APC rally yesterday and I just couldn't help but be sad. The guy said "you know this is a vote to free ourselves" and I couldn't help but ask from what. This guy was never really a product of Tinubu. Amosun nominated Gbenga Daniel as far back as 2003, he was running things himself as far back as then, so who/what exactly is he freeing himself from. Is it impossible for the SW to present a formidable united front for like a period of just 20 years to drive a massive regional development. Se won fi se wa ni? From the time of Awolowo vs Akintola to this very moment. It took all of 12 months for all these people to show their character. Who can blame Buhari when he has characters like these around him. Amosun did not think of freeing himself just a year ago when Tinubu was going from pillar to post campaigning. He (Amosun) wants to derail from the massive infrastructural development he embarked on in his first term by unnecessary politicking just a year into his second term. That is how he will lose focus. I don't know what his exact grouse is against Tinubu. Anyway, make I leave politicians with their wahala make I go continue my job search.

Is a phone number

Call it.

It 'seems' legit. You should find the missing link from the tag of the sender. If it is a number, then I'd suggest you call for further enquiries.

Qualification for the Master/Patron post is anything from NCE to Bsc.

So, in the course of my job search, I usually come across ofline vacancies I am not interested in. Here is one. I Just thought I should share it. Might be useful to someone here.

Hello Nairalanders,

There is this recruitment agency, Missak, at Ali-Ishiba road, Joju in Sango-Ota. They are asking for 2K before they lift a finger. Please, does anyone know anything about them? Has anyone ever gotten a job through them? Or are they another scam agency?
Thanks.

Puleeeze, it's like that Tony Tetuila/Idris Abdulkareem beef with both of them on the Kennis Music label; this is just a figment of your imagination, IMHO.

You never can tell. Adekunle Gold is on the verge of leaving YBNL, no?

I was ruminating over this latest joint by Adekunle Gold Enu Ose/Ariwo Ko and I just can't help but think that it's a diss at Olamide.

Meanwhile, thinking about it now, Abule Sowo too is definitely a stone at someone, Adekunle Gold perhaps?

Nairalanders, what do you think? Is there a rift between these two?

One can become addicted to that one oo even after you get a another job.

Hi.

If you've recently lost your job in this time of recession, how have you been coping? What did you fall back on? I'm not talking about savings now. I mean what are you doing in the interim pending the time you get another job.

This is particularly for those whose job was purely administrative. What are you doing now to keep body and soul together.

Thanks.

The coup in Turkey failed for a number of reasons. The public were largely against it. The opposition also quite notably condemned it.

Now, If, God forbid, there is a coup in Nigeria today, can the opposition PDP condemn it?

A more thought provoking question is this; If a coup had happened under Jonathan, would Buhari have condemned it?

Lawyers in the house, I'm curious. Can Saraki apply for a stay of execution while he appeals (and therefore continue sitting tight as senate president) if eventually found guilty by the CCT? Thanks.
