UNIGIST:
Hi Nairalanders,

The job listed above is fake.

I made efforts to verify its authenticity and ascertained it was fake for the following reasons;

1. This Arik Air job post doesn't have a company logo while the original job posts from Arik Air have the company logo.

2. The original account is Arik Air and a search of Arik Air Ltd didn't bring up any company (see pictures).

3. The original account is currently advertising commercial positions which are not for graduates but experienced hires (see pictures).

4. Incomplete job description- the eligibility criteria (job requirements) were not stated. This includes level of education and qualification needed for the job.

Please always verify job vacancies by checking for custom domain email addresses and performing a Google search. You can contact a company representative when you are uncertain about the authenticity of a job post.

Lastly, never pay money to any recruiter for a job. It's likely a scam.

You can visit www.unigist.com.ng for current job vacancies- undergraduate and graduate careers. All vacancies on our website have been verified.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
UNIGIST.

Victoriousvic:
Lol. I've been told it's too easy.

SmooshCHN:
Wait till you need to compose and have a great picture in total

EazyMoh:
You cannot separate Ipods with violent antecedents, not when Kanu is their idol. The avengers itself looks more like ipod than true Niger Delta agitation, because they deny any means of entrities to see them reason. And the release of Kanu is top of their demands.
Good write-up though.

Victoriousvic:
Thanks to everyone who participated in this week's challenge.

Unto the next challenge...

PROMPT #5: HANDS

Usually the face is the strongest element in the frame; with the hands being second. Make the hands the most important element in your image this week.

UjSizzle:
Ok. The first set of pictures followed the week's theme. Everything else was just

If you want to be a part of this, you have to follow the theme, or it just defeats the purpose of the thread and might as well be termed derailing.

Please read the rule

*sighs* God I'm tired of explaining that the thread is called a "Weekly Photo Challenge".


Everything else you own not relating to the theme should go to the other photography thread.

An0nimus:
Hopefully the effect of front page will wear off with next week's challenge. Tired of viewing off topic pics

SmooshCHN:
Same here

HyDef:
SmooshCHN, Victoriousvic, Ujsizzle

Hopefully by next week the madness in this thread will die down... I've given up on explaining to them.

But did anyone notice anything odd about a very highly zoomed photo of the Moon supposedly taken with a Q10? Is that possible, even with a mobile lens?

EFX001:
Meanwhile, the Nigerian economy glides into recession lmao.....Igbo kwenu! What is the fulani contribution to the Nigerian economy? boko haram and fulani blood suckers! ooooh mpa!

15. [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omayra_S%C3%A1nchez]Omayra Sánchez:[/url] Omayra Sánchez Garzón (August 28, 1972 – November 16, 1985) was a Colombian girl killed in Armero, department of Tolima, by the 1985 eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano when she was 13 years old. Volcanic debris mixed with ice to form massive lahars (volcanically induced mudslides, landslides, and debris flows) that rushed into the river valleys below the mountain, killing nearly 23,000 people and destroying Armero and 13 other villages.

After a lahar demolished her home, Sánchez became pinned beneath the debris of her house, where she remained trapped in water for three days. Her plight was documented as she descended from calmness into agony. Her courage and dignity touched journalists and relief workers, who put great efforts into comforting her. After 60 hours of struggling, she died, likely as a result of either gangrene or hypothermia. Her death highlighted the failure of officials to respond correctly to the threat of the volcano, contrasted with the efforts of volunteer rescue workers to reach and treat trapped victims, despite a dearth of supplies and equipment.

Sánchez became internationally famous through a photograph of her taken by the photojournalist Frank Fournier shortly before she died. When published worldwide it generated considerable controversy; it was later designated the World Press Photo of the Year for 1985. Sánchez has remained a lasting figure in popular culture, remembered through music, literature, and commemorative articles.

Hahahaha. You got me laughing real hard. Ok let me clear the air because I work there as a lecturer.
The research is shell sponsored hence the name shell eco-marathon car. Every single part was fabricated by the students. That car you see hv gone for competition in Africa and Abroad and hv come home winning laurels.
The professor that used to lead the group is a world class Fabrication professor, now VC at FUPRE, professor Akii Ibhadode. He onced won LNG prize in science. If you have a CNC machines plus autocad knowledge, you can do a better job.

10. This is a picture of 14 year old Regina Kay Walters taken moments before her serial killer put her in a torture chamber and killed her. Her killer would pick up people by his charm, drive them around in his 18 wheeler and kill them in a torture chamber set up in the back of his car.

9. A crew of 4 was conducting a routine maintenance at a wind farm in Holland when a fire broke out. The fire quickly engulfed the only escape route. Two of them managed to escape while the other two got trapped and embraced each other while they breathed their last.

8. Capturing the image of your future killer before your death:[b][/b] THIS is the dramatic moment an assassin is caught on camera – by the politician he shoots dead.

The victim took what he thought would be a happy New Year’s Eve snap of his family a split-second before his killer pulled the trigger.

The gunman was lurking in the background as Reynaldo Dagsa, 35, lined up his wife Arlene, daughter and mother-in-law outside his home.

Mr Dagsa was shot in the chest in Philippines capital Manila, where he was a law-enforcing councillor who had helped get his killer Michael Gonzales jailed for car theft.

A police source said: “This is probably the first time in history that a victim has managed to capture his own murder on film.

“We were led straight to the killer because of the picture. It’s fair to say he is a familiar face to us.”

Gonzales was arrested with an accomplice, top right of the photo, who kept lookout.

7. Tyler Hadley's Killer Party: You could tell it was going to be a huge party because almost nobody had heard of the kid who was throwing it. Word was that his name was Tyler Hadley, he attended Port St. Lucie High, and, most crucially, his parents were out of town. Where exactly Tyler's parents had traveled, or how far, no one seemed to know.

Tyler had been telling his friends all week that he was going to have a party, but nobody believed him. He'd never thrown a party before, and it was impossible to believe that his parents, who had been increasingly strict with him lately, would give their consent. When his friends asked whether the party was still on, Tyler replied, "I'm working on it." They assumed that meant it was off. At 11:25 a.m. on Saturday, July 16, 2011, Hadley received a Facebook message from his friend Antonio Ramirez. Click on the title to continue reading.

6. Honeymoon disaster: American man, David Watson, who swam off as his new wife died on the ocean floor during a honeymoon diving trip will spend an extra six months in jail after a court upheld an appeal.

David Watson, 32, a bubble-wrap salesman, was sentenced in June to four-and-a-half years for manslaughter, but under a plea bargain all but 12 months of the term was suspended, a decision that sparked outrage.
Christina Watson, 26, died in October 2003 after getting into trouble while scuba diving at a wreck off the coast of northern Queensland state where the couple were spending their honeymoon. The moments after the incident were inadvertently captured in a photograph by another person on the dive trip.
She was pulled from the ocean floor by a dive instructor after her husband failed to inflate her buoyancy vest or remove weights to bring her to the surface, instead leaving her to sink as he went get help.

5. A photographer accidentally captures a suicide by a couple when they jumped off a bridge. He originally intended to take a picture of the heavy fog that had blanketed the bridge across the Wuhan Yangtze River in Wuhan but ended up capturing this mishap.

4. Blanche Monnier: At age 25, Blanche Monnier had set her heart on marrying a lawyer, who was not to her mother's liking. Her disapproving mother locked her in a tiny room for 25 years. On May 23, 1901 the Paris Attorney General received an anonymous letter that revealed the secret incarceration. She was found in appalling conditions and rescued by police.

3. Jesse Washington: I'm sure many can site examples here in Nigeria with this one.

Jesse Washington, a teenage African-American farmhand, was lynched in Waco, Texas, on May 15, 1916, in what became a well-known example of racially motivated lynching. Washington was accused of raping and murdering Lucy Fryer, the wife of his white employer in rural Robinson, Texas. There were no eyewitnesses to the crime, but during his interrogation by the McLennan County sheriff he signed a confession and described the location of the murder weapon.

https://media.npr.org/programs/atc/features/2006/may/waco/body200-494b0d59dc0bec2fe2743195e910a836ac7dc3d9-s300-c85.jpg

Washington was tried for murder in Waco, in a courtroom filled with furious locals. He entered a guilty plea and was quickly sentenced to death. After his sentence was pronounced, he was dragged out of the court by observers and lynched in front of Waco's city hall. Over 10,000 spectators, including city officials and police, gathered to watch the attack. There was a celebratory atmosphere at the event, and many children attended during their lunch hour. Members of the mob castrated Washington, cut off his fingers, and hung him over a bonfire. He was repeatedly lowered and raised over the fire for about two hours. After the fire was extinguished, his charred torso was dragged through the town and parts of his body were sold as souvenirs. A professional photographer took pictures as the event unfolded, providing rare imagery of a lynching in progress. The pictures were printed and sold as postcards in Waco.

2. Vulture and the little girl: The vulture is waiting for the girl to die and to eat her. The photograph was taken by South African photojournalist, Kevin Carter, while on assignment to Sudan. He took his own life a couple of month later due to depression.

“The parents of the children were busy taking food from the plane, so they had left their children only briefly while they collected the food. This was the situation for the girl in the photo taken by Carter. A vulture landed behind the girl. To get the two in focus, Carter approached the scene very slowly so as not to scare the vulture away and took a photo from approximately 10 meters. He took a few more photos before chasing the bird away.”

In 1994, South African photojournalist Kevin Carter won the Pulitzer prize for his disturbing photograph of a Sudanese child being stalked by a vulture. That same year, Kevin Carter committed suicide.

1. Bhopal Disaster: Over 500,000 people were exposed to methyl isocyanate (MIC) a toxic gas, in city of Bhopal, in India, when it exploded due to lack of maintenance and over production by an American corporation Union Carbide (Now Dow Chemical).

It caused 558,125 injuries, including 38,478 temporary partial injuries and approximately 3,900 severely and permanently disabling injuries.

https://bhopal.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Hand-Baby-Raghu--e1416924272973.jpg

Acute effects

Reversible reaction of glutathione (top) with methyl isocyanate (MIC, middle) allows the MIC to be transported into the body
The initial effects of exposure were coughing, severe eye irritation and a feeling of suffocation, burning in the respiratory tract, blepharospasm, breathlessness, stomach pains and vomiting. People awakened by these symptoms fled away from the plant. Those who ran inhaled more than those who had a vehicle to ride. Owing to their height, children and other people of shorter stature inhaled higher concentrations.

Thousands of people had died by the following morning.

Primary causes of deaths were choking, reflexogenic circulatory collapse and pulmonary oedema. Findings during autopsies revealed changes not only in the lungs but also cerebral oedema, tubular necrosis of the kidneys, fatty degeneration of the liver and necrotising enteritis. The stillbirth rate increased by up to 300% and neonatal mortality rate by around 200%.
