walcolm: actually, you're wrong about the bold section of your post above.

if you're a blogger, and you post from your BB (indicated by the signature line) it tells your readers you're on top of your game whether you're in the office or on the road and they can be sure you're going to provide responses and clarifications as the need arises. that is the type of thing that earns you the respect and trust of your readers to keep them coming back to your blog

if i was you, the only part i'd remove is the name of the network provider and leave it as such 'Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone'

your supposed 'embarrassment' by the signature is a self inflicted situation not backed up by real life hard data

Hmm, u talk true o, thank you bro, I'll consider what you said.

It came, it became a mighty heck of a phenomenon, causing people's head to roll with laughter. But we shouldn't just laugh everything off just yet. Yes there are videos, display pictures on BlackBerry phones and even branded 'My Oga at the Top' T shirts,but left to us we should introspect and learn the lessons from this while the phenomenon lasts. These are some of the lessons I can personally draw from it:
(1) Be at the top of your game. One day you just might be called to prove what you know.
(2) Nigeria's system of picking officers and employees is pitiable.
(3) Corruption is the name of the game and Loyalty is the cheat for moving from one stage to another.
(4) Even if you are in your forties, get familiar with the internet and get involved with the Computer age.
(5) If you don't know something, don't pretend to know it, making a fool of yourself.
(6) Preparation matters a lot. The examination of life has no timetable.
(7) The right people for the jobs are not picked, it's only ignorant but loyal sycophants that are honoured.
That's all.
You can add yours.

Oppa Gangnam style!

If the same was to be done with NLers, maybe their likes will not be enof to do the trick but their comments and topics will say a lot about their values, beliefs and past experiences. Abi I lie?

I for one feel it's true. I went to the site and tried the test and 80 percent of the result of the analysis is profoundly true. I knew that ur fb likes say a lot about u b4 now, the study just confirmed my guess.

collinsola: @op

Your email address screw
Down.

Yeah! Thanks y'all and Collinsola! Been able to edit it.

walcolm: most people don't take time to learn how their devices work.... that's not news but your post doesn't answer my question to the OP

Simple! Not everyone is a bb fan so seeing such a thing will just put them off as I use the email function to upload posts to my blog. It is quite unprofessional and uncalled for to indicate where I sent the message from.

trustonyi: Go to ur home page - setup -email setting, then login and click on d option, go to edit u will see it there

Thanks bro buh I still don't get it. Can u pls be more explicit in ur explanation?

I use a BB curve 2. Each time I send a mail it automatically adds this: Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone provided
by Airtel Nigeria. This sometimes is very embarrassing. Pls NLers how do I fling it off?!

It's a beautiful monday morning. The sun has risen and life has started as it used to every morning. The traffic jams, the shouting, the chit chat here and there, the rat race continues. You know, life could really be boring. A life without a passion for existence is really boring and monotonous. There is a vacuum for meaning and existence in every human being. There are two things that can accurately fill those holes: first is God and second is purpose. The discovery of one leads to the other. Find God, and find Him well, and you will discover purpose.

Hoping to have more women like this in our generation who can stand up and effect a change in our nation, not that we'll have blackberry carrying ladies just occupying valuable living space, no contribution whatsoever than to be eating KFC and Mr Biggs!

Emusan: 7. Sex is not for courtship. Sex should be a gift of marriage.

I wish more intending couples will keep to this more. It's difficult to do so in a day and age where there's too much celebration of sex and looseness, an overhyping of coolness...smh
Btw, what's d place of the female partner cooking for the dude during courtship? At least he should have a clue what are culinary skills are like.

Mayowura: Hahan! Mr. E neva reach like that na....
You called me OLODO and i added prefix to mine and called you EGBON then suffix thereafter AGBA in order to present it better to you.
Since you know you don't like insult, why should you insult at the first instance, again why did you quote me and not keep your insult to yourself?
"do to others what you expect them do unto you!"
Anyway, am sorry if you are offended by me.
Good night and sweet dreams bro!

It's obvious that these Boko guys are dumb ass illiterates and retardeens! What are they scared off? If they caused an attack on the president they know that just might be the end of their child's play. Irrelevant national mosquitoes!

Fashola needs to do his thing regarding this fire accidents here and there. I pray say make my house and your house no go follow burn next o!

If Nollywood works more on their storyline and movie plots, they will make more sense. I see a good future in the Nigeria movie industry, if it's stakeholders know what they are doing.
Btw, what's d point of the websites if their movies are low grade, who go visit the website? Na d illetrates wey dey watch deir films?

Mayowura: Egbon OLODO!!!

Well, life goes on!!!

Na so some people dey fail WAEC Eng, dem no dey talk about shutting down bb, na the yahoo bb app dem wan shutdown! OLODO!

adewasco2k: Yahoo Inc is shutting down seven products, including its mobile app for Blackberry smartphones, as new Chief Executive Marissa Mayer takes a page from Google Inc's Playbook by eliminating unsuccessful products en masse.

The product shutdowns, which Yahoo announced on its official company blog on Friday, are part of what the company said are regular efforts to evaluate and review its product lineup.

"The most critical question we ask is whether the experience is truly a daily habit that still resonates for all of you today," wrote Jay Rossiter, Yahoo's executive vice president of Platforms.

The announcement represents Yahoo's second group shutdown of products since Mayer, a former Google executive, became CEO of the struggling Web portal in July. So-called "spring cleaning" announcements, in which multiple products are shut down, have become a regular feature at Google in recent years.

Mayer signaled the company would prune its line-up of mobile apps at an investor conference last month, noting that Yahoo would reduce the 60 to 75 disparate mobile apps it currently has to a more manageable 12 to 15 apps.

Yahoo said its app for Blackberry smartphones would no longer be available for download, or supported by Yahoo, as of April 1.

Yahoo also said that on April 1 it will stop supporting Yahoo Avatars - the cartoon-like digital characters that consumers create to depict them on Web services such as Yahoo instant messenger and Facebook. Consumers who want to continue using their avatar on Yahoo's online services must download the avatar and then re-upload the information to their personalized Yahoo profile.

The other Yahoo products set to be terminated include Yahoo App Search, Yahoo Sports IQ, Yahoo Clues, the Yahoo Message Boards website and the Yahoo Updates API.

It's even high time they looked at things and make Yahoo more appealing, gmail had come to stay...they should borrow a leaf from Google and upgrade things!

Jarus: Personally, I still hold that merit still works in Nigeria, especially in private sector. The connection thing is exaggerated in my opinion. It is not as bad as portrayed. I got my current job thru Guardian advert. My tight friends got jobs in Shell, Chevron, Addax without knowing anybody. These are good guys and merit is working for them.

Such are very rare cases, it takes a miracle to secure such
