To arrive after 24hrs;
were they coming from London?

shittufarukumar:
wisdom on what?

Except you repent, you will discover your grave mistake in the centre of the lake of fire

"Nonetheless, to stay pure you must live by the Word of God. I came to understand that the greatest weapon of the devil to steal mankind from God is nothing but keeping you and I from knowing what is in the Word of God(the bible). In doing that, devil get us blinded of the truth and then a wanderer in ungodliness (see 2 Corinth 4:4)."

You are right on this.

Thanks for this revival message. I shall strive to ensure that the davil does not blindfold men and lead me in to sining.

I believe other readers would do the same.

Thanks once again

My purse fell while I was shopping in the market today. I bent down to pick it, while looking between my legs and saw a strange figure with a hornh. My God I was so scared. Lord help me

You sure have a beautiful face.

Well, by western civilization, what you saw isn't provable.
But by Africanism, you may have seen something.

So chose one: western perception or Africanism.
Either way, you are fine

Dandsome:
These days, bosses can give people work for Africa. And as the economy be, no bode de send you to even give you extra pay. Well, man no go kill himself as body no be fire wood.

Below or items to do in the office to show you`re working.

Pray your boss is not a Nairalander, if not all I`ll say is ABORT MISSION

Here we go:-

1. Never walk around without a document:
People with documents look like hardworking employees headed to important meetings. People with nothing in their hands look like they are headed for the cafeteria. People with newspapers in their hands look like they are headed for the toilet. Above all, make sure you carry loads of stuff home with you at night, thus generating the false impression that you work longer hours than you really do.

2. Use computers to look busy:
Any time you use a computer, it looks like "work" to the casual observer. (Never you use your phone to do office work in the office. No matter how sleek and fine your HTC, Phantom 8, iPhoneX or Xiaomi phone is) You can send and receive personal e-mail, update Facebook status, chat and have a blast on Twitter and other social networks without doing anything remotely related to work. These aren't exactly the societal benefits that the proponents of the computer revolution would like to talk about, but they are not bad either. When you get caught by your boss - and you will get caught - your best defence is to claim that you are teaching yourself to use new software, thus saving valuable training expenses.

3. Have a messy desk:
Only top management can get away with a clean desk. For the rest of us, it looks like we're not working hard enough. Build huge piles of documents around your workspace. To the observer, last year's work looks the same as today's work; it's volume that counts. Pile papers and files high and wide. Not all things should be kept carelessly o. If you use N128k to buy the phantom 8, nobody needs to tell you to be careful with it. If you know somebody is coming to your cubicle, bury the document you'll need halfway down in an existing stack and rummage for it when he/she arrives.

4. Don’t always pick your call and use voicemail:
Rarely pick your call and use voicemail most times. People don't call you just because they want to give you something for nothing - they call because they want you to do work for them. That is no way to live. Screen all your calls through voicemail. If somebody leaves a message for you and it sounds like impending work, respond during lunch hour when you know they are not there - it looks like you are hardworking and conscientious even though you're being a devious weasel.

5. Look impatient and annoyed:
According to George Costanza, you should always try to look impatient and annoyed to give off the impression that you are always busy.

6. Leave the office late:
Always leave the office late, especially when the boss is still around. (Not too late o before the bad guys will rob you of your new iPhone or your samsung Note 8 on your way home. That is if you live in bad neighborhood. Unless you drive home.). You could read magazines and storybooks that you always wanted to read. Make sure you walk past the boss' room on your way out. Send important e-mail at unearthly hours (i.e. 9:35 p.m., 7:05 a.m., etc.) and during public holidays.


7. Creative sighing for effect:

Sigh loudly when there are many people around, giving the impression that you are under extreme pressure.

8. Have a stacking strategy:
It's not enough to pile documents on the table. Put lots of books on the floor (thick computer manuals are the best), etc.

9. Build your vocabulary:
Read up on some computer magazines and pick out all the jargon and new products. Use the phrases freely when in conversation with bosses. Remember; they don't have to understand what you are saying, but you sure sound impressive.

10. Do not forward this to your boss:
Except you have found a new job, do not forward this Gospel to your boss by mistake.


Add yours

You are surely very funny.

But employers won't like you. Obviously, you aren't an employer currently.

When you become an employer, you will wish you haven't shared this dammed post publicly.

Qsscruz:
Medicine after death.. Paying victims after decades of the war..When you still show them that the hatred is still there through ruthless killings in the name of python dance.. Do you think their wounds will magically heal at the sight of money? The wounds are hereditry. It is passed down to generations and even those who werent around during thw war still witness the hatred metted out on their people.. Clowns..

Please, calm down.

What left in pdp today is igbo,
true be said if by any chance pdp won in Lagos,
Lagos is definitely lost to igbo forever!
oladeebo

You are wrong.

Yoruba land belongs to the yorubas and no non-Yoruba person has a stake in Lagos other than that which can be enjoyed by political or economic privileges.

Do not poison people's mind for any reason whatsoever. We need peace and tranquility and threads like this yours aren't aimed for peace.

Proudlyngwa:
Kindly educate me

@proudlyngwa, thank you.

The primary duty of the lawyer is to guide the court/Judge in arriving at the appropriate interpretation of a relevant law.

Now, know it, "the law is an ass" as popularly known, and as such; where a fact in issue arises, the lawyer on this side argues the matter to suit his client's interest. The other lawyer on the apposing side does same.

Now, you must know that the Judge/court serves as an umpire who listens to both parties and receives evidence from both sides.

"He who asserts must prove" is another popular maxim and is to the effect that any allegations brought before a court must be proven, or else will be deemed a lie.

Remember also that our constitution, in section 36 provides for presumption of innocence in favour of any person accused of a crime-unless the party making such allegations succeed in proven it before the court.

What am I saying in essence?

Know it that Lawyers don't just lie before a court and win a case whether on the side of prosecution/plaintiff or on the side of defendant/respondent. What they do is to argue the matter before the court in the interest of their clients.

THE BIG PICTURE: MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WRONGLY ACCUSED AS WELL AS MANY HAVING BEEN FRAMED UP AND THEY APPEAR GUILTY AND IRREDEEMABLE ON THE SURFACE, BUT ON THE PROCESS OF PROSECUTION/LITIGATION, THE MATTER WILL FAIL TO BE PROVEN AGAINST SUCH ACCUSED.

The law is there to protect the innocent while punitive measures are provided against the offender guilty party. However, where an allegation could not be proven against the accused, it means one of the following:

1. THE ACCUSED IS INNOCENT. or

2. THE PROSECUTING COUNSEL IS INCOMPETENT.

Please, it is a hasty/sweepy statement to say lawyers are liars.

On going to Heaven: LAWYERS WILL GO TO HEAVEN IN THEIR HOARD, BECAUSE, BASICALLY THE LAWYER IS A HUMANITARIAN WORKER WHO DEFENDS THE INNOCENT AGAINST THE BIG AND MIGHTY AND GUILTY OPPRESSOR.

DON'T MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THE LAWYERS ONLY DEFENDS THE CRIMINALS. THEY DEFENDS THE INNOCENT AND OPPRESSED MORE.

BLESS YOU

jodababa:
I wish to apply for a law program but due to the nature of the work ,I. e you need to lie before you win a case,
I decided to give it a rethink.
My question now is that, will any of these lawyers make heaven as the Bible says "all lier shall go to hell "

Lawyers aren't liars.

I can educate you if you are interested

That really mimics the facial looks of the late "man of God".

But,

That lady in black, in the from row, is not properly robed.
In layman's parlance: she is not well dressed.

(Some one should give me that pink-headed goose meme)

In between the years 2013 & 2014, "Buhari Support Group (Buhari supporters organization)" was formed and through their efforts money were raised via buying and loading of the customized recharge cards whose proceeds went directly into a designated account for funding Mohammadu Buhari's electioneering campaign costs.

Igbos were mentioned to have topped the list of donors then, I don't know if that claim was entirely true, but that was what they told us.

Fast forward to 2017; Buhari had already won the election and is in the driving seat of the Nigerian governance since may 29, 2015.

*Isn't it unfair that the acclaimed highest donors of the President's campaign fund are now not featuring prominently in the corridors of power

*Isn't it also unfair that, BSO had gone into oblivion since the 2015 election was won; only to be resurrected now in furtherance of a plan to mobilized the masses again to support a bid for a 2019 return

Col Hamid Ali (Rtd) was compensated with the custom office, and he is enjoying himself. But what has become of the rest of the BSO members

I couldn't read the whole comment Col. Ali made on resurrecting BSO; but he cannot cry for the forgotten BSO member because he is a remembered BSO member and "I know how you feel"cannot work in this case because a man in billions cannot know how the men/women who had car(s) and other possessions previously but can't feed well now are actually feeling.

Good news is: THERE IS STILL HOPE...

Cc. Lalasticlala, Seun, Mynd44, et'al

Yeah, BSO has not been heard of for a long time.

I almost opened a thread last week to ask Nairalanders if any one knows the whereabout of Our BSO.

We bought the "Muhammadu Buhari" recharge cards then with the hope that Buhari will make the difference where the previous administration failed.

Kudos to all BSO members, because our dream has partially come through and our choice has occupied the Aso Rock Villa since May 29, 2015.

Whatever that remains of our purpose for supporting Buhari can still be achieved in the coming days/months/years.

Let's remain optimistic!

[quote author=Bede2u post=61790740]I voted for him and now regret it
Tell me how a man who became elite since 1975 (42 yrs ago) represents hope for the common man?
Does he knw whats going on in festac town or Abakpa nike or even his daura hometown[/quote\]

My Dear, let's give him more benefits of the doubt.
The man means well, but people around him are the problem. Can you look at the 'AGF Malami involvement in bringing Main a back' again?

Cabal may be his problem. Pray for his success pls. I chose to remain optimistic till he finishes his tenure, that way one can pass a more justifiable verdict of his overall performance.

koma1:
CIVIL WAR AND BOKO HARAM

You are on point

Kundagarten:
The two biggest disasters to happen to Nigeria first in 1983 and then in 2015 is the disaster called Buhari.

Quote me anywhere

Slow it down.
Muhammadu Buhari represents hope for the common Nigerians. He means well in many areas of Nigerian fabric, but circumstances have not allowed Buhari's good intentions to manifest fully.

He is not a disaster. Just that his style of governance is not exactly the way you had wanted-but all the same, the end will justify the means.

You will say good of him in coming days/months.

Then learned Justice must have observed what is going on in the triangle of PRESIDENCY, SAGAY AND APC in which Sagay has come to stand aloof recently over his allegations on some APC members including the national chair.

Listening to the altercations between Sagay and Oyegun; it becomes evident that The Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Corruption is not enjoying his work, but just hangs on so as not to disrespect the man who appointed him.

Sagay made it clear that the person he regards with high esteem is President Buhari alone.

Now why won't he sound that way? Considering that even highly placed offices in this administration has been found wanting, such are: the SGF, the AGF, the CoS to the President, etc.

Justice Ayo Salami is very Wise. But, wise men in this country needs to work with president Buhari, and not desert him.

I wish the appointment of Ayo Salami's committee came with cabinet resuffle, fishing out some questionable characters around the president. That would have encouraged Justice Salami, to work with the president as appointed.

mysticwarrior:
you are directing your your opinion to the wrong person, I think you will be a good adviser to thrump if you can tell him about the frog and the hot water.

Really?

Even though am no fan of any of them; don't you think Kim Jung un should worry on how to provide for the needy citizens of his country instead of challenging countries greater than it.

Some paint the picture of Kim being sure of the support and backing of Russia and China; but all that won't detter America under Trump from teaching Kim the lessons he should learn.

Don't you think he is misplacing priority? By focusing on crating nuks which should come last on the scale of preference for a sane leader?

serverconnect:
Buhari the father of corruption.

Take is easy pls.

If you comment without mentioning names, it makes your speech matured.

UNTIL IT JUMPS INTO A HOT WATER, THE FROG DOES NOT KNOW THAT THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF WATER- THE 'COLD' AND THE 'HOT'

SOME ONE SHOULD TELL THAT TO THAT KIM GUY

MaritzaNL:
I don't know what you are talking about, how did you even end up with these claims?.

Anyways I'm hardworking and intelligent, decent too, I don't misbehave or do anyhow.

Fantastic!

You seem rare. You also have gotten the point I raised. There are flaws that are minor and easily overlooked. Such are:
-not a perfect cook;
-not waking up early enough;
-not keeping the house very clean;
-etc
All the above are minor flaws.

The major flaw includes infidelity, etc.
Such flaw is hard to endure/copewith

Lalas247:
No one is perfect .. Nigerians should get it In there head no one is perfect ....

Imagine thought this was an intelligent topic topic till it transferred from topic to being a woman issue why does ur life revolve around what the opposite sex are doing ...

Anyway ur theory is flawed why.... please take a look at FP the guy who beat his wife ...
Did u see all the characteristics of the perfect bride he listed! And yet she was the devil so pls (even stated she goes church everyday) yet he is here crying after he thought that was perfect catch ...


It’s only in Nigeria that intelligence and hard work is not enough they will find something else to judge u on ( we wonder why after independence we ain’t moved forward .. still waiting for permanent electricity from the perfect ones mtcheew na women be problem abi

The woman concerned here needs being pitied.
If a lady has someone who truly considers her as a marriage material; is she suppose to play games yet behind his back and still aim at covering it up

Don't tell me this is normal pls

babyfaceafrica:
People should try to find out their partner flaws..if he"she looks perfect..you better look well..there ain't no perfect human beings...some guys are gentle and loyal..their flaw may be roughness/dirtiness...some gals are beautiful and lovely..their flaw may being saucy/lousiness......some people cannot keep secrets,flirt alot and are party freeks(me I cannot marry this ones..even if she is Mrs world)..but some can...do what you can control and handle.....love is not blind o

Well said!

mechanics:
Eyah, he didn't think of the consequence when he was signing the bond, now he's regretting his action.

You should look at the alternative.

Considering the many blames leveled against northern elites for allowing book haram grow so big under their nose calls for educated people like you and me to know that the best way to control grievances in the societies and prevent anarchy is that the elites should find a way to approach aggrieved groups and thereby be able to subtly dish out advice to them and dissuade them from going violent.

If respected members of the society would always keep away from disgruntled youth groups, then the youth group would advice themselves and do their wishes-guess what the society would degenerate into

As a Wise person: DON'T YOU SEE THAT THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE PERSONALITIES THAT BAILED KANU HAS HELPED NIGERIA ?
BECAUSE THESW SURETIES MUST HAVE AUTOMATICALLY TURNED INTO ADVISERS WHO KEPT ON ADVISING KANU TO WTAY AWAY FROM THINGS THAT COULD BE DAMAGING

WE CAN SAY KANU WENT TOO FAR IN HIS SPEECHES, BUT, THE WAY I SEE IT, THAT KANU COULD HAVE DONE WORSE THAN HATE SPEECHES IF THE CALIBER OF ABARIBE AND CO WEREN'T INVOLVED

HungerBAD:
Arrest this man.

The law is very clear on this. It is nothing personal against you Senator, but the law says if you cannot produce who you stood for, then you go in for it.

I have said it before that the key to arresting Nnamdi Kanu is with this man, who makes his living from Nigeria and the Government in the day time, but goes to IPOB meetings at night.

Senator Abaribe you cannot have the best of both sides.

Don't convince the public reading this post that you are indeed shallow minded.

I am no fan of Ipob, or whatever it is called. However, the fact still remains that Abaribe cannot be reasonably be called upon to produce Kanu on the grounds of him having stood for Kanu's surety.

It is clear, if the Army had not invaded Kanu's known abode, Abaribe cannot extricate himself from the former's whereabout; but, in as much as we cannot attribute the military action on Kanu as natural occurrence, we won't be acting reasonably to say Abaribe must produce Kanu because the senator would not have smuggled himself in front of the bullets to keep custody of the attacked.

babyfaceafrica:
You can't have it all.....we all have one flaw

Well said, but we strive for perfection.

What do you say then, where a person's flaws are numerous?
Shouldn't the person work on him/herself?

ourchoice:
definitely there is no room for tribal or religious hatred or discrimination here.

My only mission is to see a better Nigeria. Whenever I happen to visit some foreign embassies, I weep for Nigeria seeing how hopeless Nigerians have become to the extent Nigerians are ready to sell anything they have to raise money to migrate out of Nigeria.

That shows that Nigeria is not working. We need to change these things so Nigerians can stay and prosper in Nigeria.

We are so talented to be lagging behind in the comity of nations. It hurts

Thank you

ourchoice:
This is part of the things some people pointed out here...it has already started right here on nairaland. After we started this movement, this handle saw the potential and reaction that followed, instead him joining force with us to make this a reality, he rather went and created his own thread replicating everything we are doing here but with a different pirated name.

Is this the way forward my fellow patriotic youths This will only kill this movement and make it look like a joke.

I have even reached out to the person handling this moniker to drop this bastardization and join force with us....I have already promised to make him admin of our social media handles so he can join force with us, but he is hell bent on destabilizing this movement through counterfeiting.

Its alight...continue....posterity will judge you

By its fruits, a tree is known.

Do not bother, genuine Nigerian youths are here. I just want uncles Seun, Lals, Mynd44, and other mods to push up this thread.

Genuine youths will locate this

ourchoice:
thanks for this observation. I will slow down from now on. Thanks again.

That is why we need more youth ideas and initiatives to make this work. This must not be about me or my ideas alone. It is our initiative, our collective ideas to build the nation of our dream.

If you continue to show genuine commitment to this point you have originated here, you will surely gather support from well meaning young Nigerians, including my humble self.

Always remember that mutual suspicion has remained a threat to Nigeria's progress, so stand tall and do not allow your thread to be marred with suspicion. Encourage members who comment here to be straight and avoid hate speeches.

We will succeed!

mrdickhead:
I laugh when people say hardworking is equal to greatness,that's a fucking false statement,

Greatness is equal to Grace that follows for,the grace of God.


The word feminism is from the pit of hell and a feminist is a candidate of hell fire angry

do you ladies know how much energy and strength used to hold the dick to stand erected before putting on a condom,you think it's easy holding that thing to stand grin

evil women everywhere.

Good Bros, you have point.

But, hard working and being intelligent are components of greatness.

To be a great person entails that a person should have so many qualities. My first post encompasses the other components.
