Don't you know that your salary is paid in arrear not in advance

Why the interest in his salary?

OP, you are not obliged to answer any question related to your salary. Some information is meant for yourself alone.

By the way, what happens to this 18-year old girl in the next 30 years when Sanusi is knocking close to 90?

As someone said on BN, let's assume Sanusi lives for 30 years, this girl would likely become a widow in her 40s. Is that something to look forward to people?! No one is even thinking of her future, what a culture. Shame

Why is Sanusi's PR team releasing pics up and down. What do they have to prove?

Pervs in human skin! I so pity all the females born in that part of the country when all you have to look forward to is getting married off as a GIFT to some randy old man probably older than your father.

But how could Jonathan have traveled with 600 delegates ?!!! To do what?
Infact, I am speechless, what a man.

Does Lagos have a governor at all?
Where is Ambode Na wa o. This is real sleeping on duty

pansophist:
If you examine the formulation of the initial post, you will easily deduce that I did not describe it as racism, calling it racism is solely your own interpretation. I even limited my opprobrium to the airport workers only, not Poland.

I beg to disagree. This is a blatant case of racism and I really think you should take it up with the airline. If it is not racism, WHY was no one else queried about leaving a bag?
Even in Sports we see racism, it is just a shame honestly

RaptorX:
Blacks especially black Africans suffer from inferiority complex in their interactions with whites. Couple of years ago I flew into Lagos from Atlanta on Delta airlines and they misplaced my luggage, so I went to the airport the next day. The oyinbo delta agent at the airport was just ignoring all our questions about our luggage and ordering the Nigerian staffs around like dogs, I was so pissed I started yelling on the dude to produce my luggage or else. And my fellow passengers and the Naija staffs were looking at me like, this guy is brave o talking to oyinbo like that.

Hahahha! This got me laughing
Nigerians need to respect themselves first; once that self-respect is there, the whole deference given to people with non-black skin should stop.

latitidejavu:
Sorry @OP, why should you feel bad? I may be wrong but I believe if you are self-confident no alleged racism can make you feel bad. You showed them you weren't a push over by threatening to sue them. That is it, you were victorious. I went for one training in Germany and I was the only black in that section of town. For one good month i didnt see one black face. I was walking like the king. I was pitying their miserable lack of exposure. One day one german approached me and asked whether this is how everybody looked in africa. I asked him whether everybody in German was this mentally handicapped. I used the word 'mentally handicapped'. He was shocked! I dont know what he told them but the next day a german lady bought a drink for me in the same bar I met the german man. In that training I was the best when the result came out. I shifted my flight for one week to get to know the lady better. Now we are good friends. I am my own master. I was there in my own right and merit. Nobody had the ability or capacity to make me feel bad. Be confident and you will not feel bad about racism.

You are a really confident person, very commendable.
It takes experience and time to get to that point where we are not bothered about peoples' opinions, and don't let it define us but not everyone is at that point yet.
Racism needs to be dealt with where possible.

All the Nairaland tribal warriors, hope you guys can all see now - when you refuse to unite as ONE country, when you are busy throwing tribal barbs around, it is like sowing a seed; the harvest will eventually come and it is never a positive one.

Reference:
Nigerians are so ignorant. They just don't know how things work. Just sentiments.

Listen. True democracy is the only guarantee of sustainable performance. It is not about who wins elections but about the process by which he or she got there. Ambode was selected and so he is accountable only to the selectors. If he tries to satisfy the electorate he will end up like Fashola.

I said it a couple of years ago Houphet Boigny was Premier of Ivory Coast for decades and under him the Ivorians enjoyed unprecedented boom, the number two economy in west africa but the laws of democracy caught up after Boigny died and today Ivory Coast is no better than Liberia.

If Lagos fails to instal democratically elected governance time and again it is heading for calamity. That is unavoidable. The kind of turbulence that will rock the state post Tinubu will shock many. These are the issues Nigeria has surmounted by a peaceful transition, the reason we say Jonathan is the best so far, that is because the system was allowed to work and popular will was respected.

People constitute the wealth of nations and you cannot have individuals no matter how influencial and powerful deciding and setting the standards of their lives and living. Very soon contempt is bound to emerge and unfortunately Lagos has very weak democratic structures to fall back on. There is trouble ahead. The Ekiti we all laugh at is miles ahead of Lagos and the Osun we are amazed at is the vital sign of what is to come.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely, eternal power outside God can only be satanic.

Nigerians are so ignorant, I assume that includes you right?

Back to your post, basically your definition of democracy = satisfying / being accountable to his "selectors" rather than the state he is meant to govern?! SMH. I wouldn't even know where to start from so will just pass on this. Good luck to Lagos state. Ambode should keep sleeping till the 4 years is up. Nonsense

I agree. Ambode is not up to par so far. Fashola set a standard so naturally expectations are high for Ambode and sadly he seems not to be living up to it at all.

Pavore9:
l hope you are through with insulting yourself, l suggest you enquire about Psychiatric services and since anything Lagos sets you off, l suggest you try Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, New Haven, Enugu, it is opposite St. Mulumba Catholic Church, New Haven, it will not be difficult to locate.

[b]l leave you in the Lord's hands with this. Psalm 109:17-20

Very mature response; unlike others that would drag themselves in the mud with unknown online cowards.

Misplaced priorities
Ambode - wake up to your core responsibilities!

saintandsinnerz:
Nobody is encouraging anything sister. Life is all about making difficult choices no matter how we forbid them. If the two choices present itself to me, I will gladly choose to ingest hard drugs than committing suicide because of a mere 25k. Now I ask again, which of the two evils will you choose if you are presented with an option of choosing one of them?

Now that's my point, those 2 options can NOT be the only options available to him. He could negotiate with the bank, he could appeal and beg relatives, he could sell some items he has, I can go on and on. We should not encourage illegal things like carrying hard drugs just in the name of survival.

Also do you know how many lives are destroyed as a result of hard drugs? How many crimes of violence and death when robbers under the influence take it?

saintandsinnerz:
But wouldn't you rather be caught ingesting hard drugs than committing suicide because of a mere 25k?

God forbid. None of them is right. We shouldn't encourage either.

Nigga44:
Yoloba people always looking for the easy way out

You lot don't have the perseverance to hustle like the igbos........, just give it up or stick to rituals, cos that's what you know how to do best

Rip to the dead

@Post - Poor guy, he really should have just negotiated with the bank.

I hope by hustle you don't mean ingesting hard drugs? Cos there is no dignity in such.

MizMyColi:
There's something about Ebele J that inspires me to be better.
To rise above.

I'm sure he's that kind of person who doesn't believe in politics of retaliation and vengefulness.

Y'know...
Now that I think of it, I'm putting myself in a quarter of his shoes...I wonder how he takes the insults....lately I've been quite reactive...and I feel like, if JonaJ with all the bile thrown at him could be full of grace, and accommodating, who am I not to.
Hate him or love him, but he inspires me. Very few in this world inspire me, irrespective of class or status.

My friend dropped a nugget today which I'd like to share with you and everyone who might be reading this...

Hurting those who hurt me doesn't heal me.

Perhaps he understood the principle engraved in the emboldened.

Retaliating or stifling or oppressing those who malign, beguile or abuse us solves nothing.
Reacting from a place of pain never solves anything. It may give momentary satisfaction....but it has a way of corrupting our awareness of that which is our true essence.

Gosh, I feel like writing more.
Lemme meditate
Brb

Story story stooorrry!

Scandal that resulted in loss of lives.
I hope those responsible are given the due punishment for what they did.

blueto:
[color=#000030] I have discovered that Buhari makes controversial statements each time he is away from Nigeria

He said Nigerians are calling him baba go slow, while he was in the US.
and look at what he is depicting now in France!

why is he not making such despicable & myopic assertions while in Nigeria??

[/color]

Oga, did you read the article at all??

"The president made the declaration Sunday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, at the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria."

Maintenance culture in Nigeria, zero!
By the way, I hope they are not expecting government to come and help keep their environment clean

Funny funny thread

People should take it easy with the insults na, it was just a joke! A funny one at that.

The poor OP has deactivated, his head must be ringing by now.
OP, I'm sure you will still view this thread, enough advice has been given. I pray you will be wise enough to humble yourself and learn from what others have said. Good luck.

OP,
I'm sure the blasting you've received today on this thread will hopefully help set you on the right path.
Ingratitude and trying to usurp leadership can never take you far.

huangcheng:
It does a lot. It goes to teach other unsuspecting people working with Yorubas that a Yoruba man cannot be trusted at the workplace. Before you know it, this Yoruba man will start visiting all kind of shrines in order to get his boss sacked and him promoted to his boss's office. If you're working with a Yoruba man right now, it will benefit you if you take my warning seriously because i have loads of experience to share with you.

Maybe you should open a separate thread rather than trying to derail this thread with "your experiences"

Every damn thread on Nairaland manages to get "tribalised" these days. Phew, give a break people.

My question is “Why settle for commonality, by looking like a thousand others, than uniqueness by looking like YOU?”

My best quote from the write-up. I don't understand why anyone would want to look like everybody else? We are all unique with specific features.

This is so sad. May her soul rest in peace.

Lagos is so full of hazards these days, if it is not Tanker falling on a car, it is fire burning an innocent family to death.
A lot of these incidents are preventable. Lagos state government needs to wake up to its task - security and safety of all citizens

I love the concept - MadeOfBlack, it is high time the black race starts to celebrate and appreciate its own. Your pictures are really unique as well, well done.

This thread is going to be very very interesting
*Sits down on sofa*

velo10:
Isn't this a sign that something should be done soon?

Exactly. We can't just continue like this.

Do we still have a governor in this state at all?
Where is Ambode?!

victorazy:
I thank God you got something out of it.
Is a common sense stuff.

Even our CEO is an intelligent man cuz sometimes he will suspect our game but the isue remains that I always let my senior architec know of everything am doing and he was proud of me.

OP is the gra gra type of a guy, maybe this is his first job

Haha
Some things come with time. I am sure he will learn from the experience. I feel he should continue to put in his best, whilst learning how to manage his work environment.
