Amazing talent, wow
More grease to your elbow OP

"Stun" - the most favorite Nairaland word, haha

Very commendable
Hardwork and diligence should be rewarded. I also like how inclusive they made it - not only university graduates, but colleges of education, poly technics, overseas universities. Way to go!

CSTR2:
I am waiting for the first slowpoke that will attribute this to buhari.

What does Buhari have to do with the topic at hand?
You folks should get over this obsession of politicising every damn thing! Jeez

Neduzze5:
It takes three months only.

And needs a lot of water. So you can plant February, harvest between April/May, then replant May and harvest July/August.

On the other hand, you can prepare three to four different plots of land, plant each plot per month starting from April. This is to ensure that the plants are directly watered by rain fall thereby saving you the stress of watering them daily.

Okay, thank you for the response. Wish you the very best with it.

Very nice thread, well done OP
How long does a full cycle i.e. from planting to harvest take?

bukatyne:
Is a flat not a house?

@OP: congrats to her

A flat is different from a house
Flat: flats have shared / common areas
House: stand-alone

tete7000:
I don't think his birth was disputed, only announced through a traditional means. What I disagree with Oni's case is that his death is being denied. Do you believe he is still alive?

To be honest, I don't know whether he is alive or not. My post was referring to those saying tradition is irrelevant in announcing the death formally (if indeed he is dead).

Each country has its traditions and is free to continue if they wish too.

When Prince William's son, George, was born in 2013 - the customary formal bulletin announcing the royal birth was displayed on an easel outside Buckingham Palace even though obviously the news had broken on twitter and other social media.

RUBBISH

the article is full of lies and its been scripted leaving out the full details.

read the true article here

http://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/07/30/uk-shell-results-idUKKCN0Q40HK20150730

shell is cutting down 6,500 jobs WORLDWIDE out of their current workforce of nearly 100,000 employees

Thank you. Sensational reporting at its best. It is not specific to Shell Nigeria.
Also, majority of the cuts have been done already (North Sea, divestments etc) rather than planned.

tchidi:
Yes o!! She's the best!!
I pity the customs people at the airport! Whenever she has to go visit my sister abroad, the only thing she doesn't carry is the one that didn't enter her bag!! She even carries along her torchlight! In case 'NEPA takes light in the UK'
Love you Mummistic!!

Hahaha! that got me laughing. God bless her :-)

tchidi:
Mumsy is coming around this weekend, so she called me to ask..

'do you have crayfish? Fish nko? Ukwa? We have excess Omo and isol, do I bring for you?'

Awww, that's so sweet of her. Mums rock!

mkpikpub:
Yoruba people and rape. You travelled all the way from nigeria to uk to rape. Shame

Folks, please grow up from this childishness na. To the outside world, you are all Nigerians, no one cares if you are Ibo or Yoruba or Akwa Ibom or whatever.

Spidermon:
Police investigators visited the victim in Australia just to get her testimony and reduce her traumatic experience !!!

I can't imagine this happening in Nigeria. Our Police men might even rape her all over again. A won weyrey. Make dem sha sell their ASP form coz I wan join them......

I'm trying hard not to laugh

Some people never get tired of being tribal and petty.
Continue the childishness and continue dragging each other down rather than uniting and progressing your country forward. Meanwhile to the outside world you are a Nigerian, Eod no one gives a hoot white state you are from.

Atlantian:
Apologize to me.

Sorry sir

Atlantian:
English is not your strong point. harassment is compulsion. Have you ever noted the word 'consensual' ? And which country is it not happening ? Are you more traveled than me ?

Do not preach to me, I am not interested in theories of heaven and hell. Morality is a personal goal.

Sorry oh oga, so we should be groveling at your feet because you are "more traveled" what a joke. Nigerians and this "who I am" mentality. Big joke.

Atlantian:
Guy, even today. A girl is asking to come and work for me. It is just one of the many pecks that comes from being an employer of labour. We do not compel them. Girls prefer to be with a leader who can provide them comfort and financial security. Will they rather sleep with men that cant afford to buy them official car and driver and leave someone who does that as official responsibility and still pays salaries plus other 'incentives' ?

It is obvious it is in Nigeria that people develop this kind of mentality. Try working in a professional environment in a sane country where no matter how senior you are e.g. the CEO you can not harass a cleaner and get away with it, then you would have a rethink on what you've been writing all day.

Nigerian mentality, chai! No wonder the country is what it is --- when people can proudly brag about things they should be ashamed of.

Charism,
One other thing to point out - for you to have reached the final stage of this interview shows you've got what it takes. I can see from your previous threads that you have done a number of applications, so my encouragement to you would be to hang in there. Those that have jobs today have also experienced what you are going through. Continue being persistent. All the best and really praying something good comes up for you soon. Cheers

freecocoa:
Okay then, though I don't believe any God has a part to play in it but we are allowed to believe what we want, so it's cool.

Yes, people have different belief systems and that is fine. I personally believe God makes a huge difference as well as one doing one's part.

TruthisOut:
You should not have told the interviewer that you have no banking or marketing experience even if you don't, besides that I think your answers can pass. He was just giving you a hard time.

Just be hopeful and keep searching too.

Agreed but the nervousness a lot of people experience during interviews can make one say what in hindsight one wouldn't have said. We've all been there, the number of times i have come out of meetings thinking "I shouldn't have said xyz".. It's all a part of learning and growth. The deed is done, and he should move on. Something better will come up.

freecocoa:
It's not just the grace of any God. Are you telling people to not prepare and hope on the so called grace or what?

OP, do not despair, keep looking, you'll get there.

I think he is saying it's not by preparation ONLY, which I fully agree. You can prepare for all eventualities but it doesn't guarantee anything because afterall you are not a mind-reader and cannot tell exactly what questions the interviewer would ask.

hary4luv:
Isn't it funny how people try to justify their mischievous acts of sexual molestation by making it look like it's the norm in the society. My boss looks very responsible, infact when u interact with him u will never expect such 4rm his person. If I had known he was capable of doing such I doubt if I would have had the courage to open the door in the first place.
One thing you should note is that my Boss doesn't own our company cos it's a MNC but he can recommend for my sack that's my only fear.

You see them all acting self-righteous in other threads, however it is from comments on threads like these that people show their true colours and what they would do if they have the opportunity to do so - i.e. they would also sexually harass their secretaries. Meanwhile Sundays, they are the first to leave for church yet we wonder why the nation is not progressing. Bunch of hypocrites, that's what most Nigerians are sadly.

The moral state of this country, I shake my head (vigorously)

I don't understand why everyone is trying to blame the OP here - he has clearly stated that the boss doesn't appear to be that sort of person, if it was a randy boss he would have put two and two together and not bothered, but that was not the case here. In my opinion, there was absolutely nothing wrong with him checking out the noise (for safety reasons).

Hary4luv,
You did nothing wrong and have no reason to be fearful or afraid. You are not going to lose your job. Just do your normal work and put in your best, with time the awkwardness will ease out. If it was a Nigerian / one-man company then yes he may have fired you but I know MNCs have processes, but above all, do not fear, nothing will happen to you.

Lastly, I would advice you to remove your profile picture for now. It's a small world and you never can tell who knows you here.

There is no proper safety culture in a lot of Nigerian factories. Not fair to the workers, not fair at all.

By the way, the guy is referred to as Nigerian. When you carry your green passport to an embassy no one cares which state or "tribe" you are from, you are Nigerian, simple.

edwife:
I pray to God to give each and everyone of you SENSE.....

Tribal bigotry is so stale,get a life!





Where are those coming from?

Tribal bigotry is so stale yet you are engaging in it by adding fuel to the fire

I can bet the Mr David or Richard is also reading this thread, your Waterloo is approaching sooner than you think. Wicked fellow

sademola:
Guy, I'm NOT a banker but I've been privileged to have 'worked' with one of highly paying and rated banks in West Africa if not entire Africa. I work for a Bank I'm not a BANKER.

Are your clerks n drivers (if u have any) in your 'cucumber farm' agriculturalists like yourself?

I think Denn has addressed this question several times already. Please don't let's derail this useful thread.

ProfEinstein:
I tire ooo, frustration everywhere. This is serious

Really serious. Energy that can be better spent doing productive things in the "real world", it's a pity.
