I just received this message:

You have been invited for the ARM Life interview 24/11/2013 from 9am to 4pm.1, Mekunwen Road, off Oyinkan Abayomi Drive Ikoyi Lagos. Pls bring your paasport/CV.

I received an email from Jobberman on the 14th this month that my details on their site matches candidates ARM has shortlisted for their online instant 20 minutes employability test. I took the test immediately ( 20 questions). Two days ago, I received a congratulatory message that I passed the test and they requested some details from me which I gave. And just now I received the message as sent above. Please did anyone also take the test? If you passed, were you required to supply some details like your school, grade, course, etc? Did you receive the message for tomorrow's interview?

And please if you happen to work there, how is the work environment like? What is their staff welfare like? Pay package? Please I need answers. Thanks.

Please in which state. Any state? What of Abia

Okay. I guess this is a rather modified method of making sure embarrassments don't come up in that day. But what of those that are not members of the church?

I just got thinking this afternoon and decided to know if truly what I was thinking is a reality. We sure know that there is a time during the wedding ceremony when the Minister/Pastor helping the couples read the vows would ask the congregation a question before joining the couple.

THE QUESTION: "Does anyone in this place today have anything against any of this couple-to-be? Please let him or her speak up or forever remain silent".

MY QUESTION: Has this happened in any wedding ceremony you attended or on your own wedding day? Has anyone actually stood up to say something? If yes, how was the issue settled and what was the general reaction of the couple, Pastor, congregation or even the accuser? What was the accusation and did it end the wedding outrightly?

But realistically, is this question still asked these days at weddings? Please share your testimonies and experiences.

I even know of a case
between two young youths. They got engaged (Not officially though)
but the wedding preparations and/or official introduction is to
commence in 1 year six months time or two years time at most. They
are Christians, born again and filled with the spirit. At one time the
sister visited the brother and his family and stayed with them for
some time. That's when the brother discovered that he could not fully
control himself being alone with the lady. The guy was always the
problem. he would fight with the scriptures and prayers but still find
himself weak in the sister's presence (THEY DID NOT HAVE SEX.
According to him, he romanced and cuddled her). He confessed to his
fiancee how weak he finds himself in her presence. Now I came to
understand that your bolded statement is true of the brothers (But
not all sha) and could cause a problem between two dating
Christians who truly love each other. Well, today, they are not
together. The lady decided to stay apart from the said brother
(Possibly foreseeing something) for some time. She decided to be
friends with him for the now.

Yes! She deserves to wear the white dress. But
that does not mean ladies WHO ARE NOT VIRGINS do not deserve to
wear the white dress. In my opinion, ladies who have not defiled and
did not defile themselves with their to-be husbands or any other man
during courtship or dating, deserves to wear the white dress. This is
because some may have met Christ after they defiled themselves
(Which means they are no virgins but now made pure) while some
may have been Molested!
TITUS 1:15 Unto the pure, all things are pure; but unto them that are
defiled and unbelieving is NOTHING pure; but even their mind and
conscience is defiled.
Now to the romance and cuddling and kissing part. Most times,
Christian couples to be engaged in this but do not have sex. Can
these be considered be pure and eligible to guiltlessly wear the white
gown? I was in a conference at Nassarawa during the NCCF national
confab in 2012 and the lady speaking on the Christian dating and
finding a life partner was asked whether kissing during courtship is a
sin and she said 'NO' if one can control himself/herself not to lead to
sex. She received a "booooooooo" from the crowd who were
apparently not satisfied with the answer. That could only show that
she engaged in such during her time (She's married). So as
Christians, where do we actually draw a line when it comes to these
things EXCEPT having sex: Can this praised couple as pictured above
confidently say they did not kiss or romance or sexually cuddle(BUT
DID NOT HAVE SEX) before this wedding day?

Rude shock awaits Nigerians tomorrow

Ethiopia coach Sewnet Bishaw has vowed his
men will give whatever it takes to overturn a
first-leg defeat when they take on Nigeria in
their World Cup play-off on Saturday.
Ethiopia hope to continue their surprising
World Cup journey when they face Nigeria in
the return leg, despite a 2-1 loss at home in
mid-October.
Bishaw said: “This is the biggest match of my
life. I want to win it. I’ll fight to the maximum.
Sewnet Bishaw, Ethiopia Coach
“There’s no problem in my squad. All of my
players are fit and the mood in the camp is
very high. Everybody is waiting for the kick-off
whistle.”, the coach told BBC.
Nigeria won the first leg in Addis Ababa
courtesy of a brace from Emanuel Emenike
and the Super Eagles are clear favourites to
book a place at next year’s tournament in
Brazil, which would be their fifth appearance
at a finals.
However, Bishaw is confident his side can
come back.
“I’m 100% confident of overturning the result.
I’ll only play for a win. Football involves a
defeat and a win. We’re defeated in the first
leg doesn’t mean we’ll be defeated in the
second leg,” he said.
“I’ve not finished the match. I’ve 90 minutes
left to play. I’ll fight for a 2-0 win or for a 2-1
to take it in to extra-time. So, I want to
remind them that it’s not over yet.”
Bishaw revealed he will leave it until the last
moment possible to select his side in the
quest to take the east Africans to their first
finals.
The big boost for Bishaw is the return of his
joint top scorer, Getaneh Kebede. The striker
missed the first leg of the play-offs because of
an ankle injury.
“The return of Getaneh is really great news.
I’ve seen him in training. He’s fit and will
definitely have a role in the battle” Bishaw
said.

dasparrow: @Bolded

I am glad that you are being honest. The truth is that sex is not that important for the average female. They can do without it during the courtship but it is the men with their high testosterone that pressure and coerce the women into having sex with them. There is a saying that men give love to get sex and women give sex to get love. There are very few Nigerian-bred men that will be willing to date a woman without wanting to defile her body. That is the gospel truth. I know quite a few ladies who are still single because they refused to compromise their integrity and allow male fornicators to defile them whilst they were dating. So, people should fear God and keep themselves pure for marriage. I see Nigerian brides on their wedding day with their protruding stomachs due to pregnancy still wearing white wedding gowns and I just shake my head.

@Post

Nigerians, this is how a wedding should be. The bride in this article deserves wearing the white dress because she was a virgin before her wedding. Her husband is not like your typical Nigerian-bred man who will tell his fiancee that she has to be pregnant with child before he will officially marry her and some silly Nigerian women will agree to the mandate walking down the aisle with fat stomachs that have a fetus already growing in it. When Sunday comes, Nigerians will go to church and claim to worship God while they fornicate Monday through Saturday. God is watching and cannot be mocked.

@ 1ST BOLDED: My brother you are right there. I even know of a case between two young youths. They got engaged (Not officially though) but the wedding preparations and/or official introduction is to commence in 1 year six months time or two years time at most. They are Christians, born again and filled with the spirit. At one time the sister visited the brother and his family and stayed with them for some time.

Well, today, they are not together. The lady decided to stay apart from the said brother (Possibly foreseeing something) for some time. She decided to be friends with him for the now.

@ SECOND BOLDED: Yes! She deserves to wear the white dress. But that does not mean ladies WHO ARE NOT VIRGINS do not deserve to wear the white dress. In my opinion, ladies who have not defiled and did not defile themselves with their to-be husbands or any other man during courtship or dating, deserves to wear the white dress. This is because some may have met Christ after they defiled themselves (Which means they are no virgins but now made pure) while some may have been raped!

TITUS 1:15 Unto the pure, all things are pure; but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is NOTHING pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

Now to the romance and cuddling and kissing part. Most times, Christian couples to be engaged in this but do not have sex.

Okay. I have thought Recharge Card Business. But I will have to get someone to man it for me; I'm still working.
I've also thought of Bulk SMS Service provision

I am a recent graduate who has worked for almost a year now. At least, I've saved up to 50 thousand naira and I want to invest right away. I believe that wealth is not made by stocking up cash for the benefit of the bank but inject cash into profitable ventures that emit same (and possibly double) at the appropriate time. I've thought of some business I could venture into. But i still need advice from some experienced fellows here. Thanks

PLEASE I BEG YOU ALL TO JUST UNDERSTAND! NCCF is a well structured organisation. I served as the Papa for Sapele, Delta State. It was awesome! Having to travel to the state capital every month for a formal business meeting of all Zonal executives is truly an experience. Managing funds prudently, playing fatherly roles to older house members (I was second to the youngest in the house and the youngest amongst the Executive in the Zone) was by the help of the Holy Spirit. I never stopped praying for them every night. We had a sub-zone that later matured into a zone. And the Zonal Rural Rugged? IT WAS AWESOME! The deaf received the power to hear again! Miracles all through.

I greet all RCCF, NACC, WCF (Winners Corpers Fellowship), ACF corpers and ex-corpers here! I made sure I walked and maintained a good relationship with all of them and the glory of God was present with all. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

I registered my presence last year at Nassarawa RCCG camp. It was an experience never to be forgotten. NCCF will never die!

Please is there any email I can send my CV to?

warrenweste: lol how much did u sell it

My brother na 10k o o o! Since that day, the guy has called me up to 4 times asking one question or the other especially concerning the memory. I just thank God say the guy already know about the Etisalat sim 1 thingy.

Nice!

fleps: Yea! The Tecno phones are good. But I want to warn, NEVER BUY A BRANDED PHONE! Example of such is the ETISALAT Tecno P3 branded phone. They won't tell you before buying that
1) the first sim is lockeked to their network
2) You can use any other sim on sim 2 but that is only when sim 1 is inserted. Meaning sim 2 can't work until there is a sim on sim 1
3) It is only on sim one that you can browse
4) You can not use their BB subscription on Android unlike MTN and Airtel
5) You can only use their easyflex or easyblaze which is 1000 for 100MB which will definitely finish before the end of 3 days.

However, though I've made the mistake of buying the phone, I believe the following are possible solutions to the problem (I don't give up easily on any problem or challenge; I love solutions)
1) I intend to contact them and gently ask if they could unblock the phone or sim slot to use other network probably for a fee. (30 percent chances of working)

2) Rooting the phone and try to unblock it. I'm still researching if this one will work at all. Please if you know that it will work, kindly help me out.

3) Disabling sim one (after phone start up and data is on). This will make the data connection switch automatically to sim 2 but sim 2 can only make use of GPRS and not 3G (tried this today and it worked). This can still be managed but with MTN, browsing may be slow in some areas except Airtel which has a better browsing network.

4) Selling the phone. I bought it for 12,000 and after using for 2 weeks, I'm willing to sell for 10,000.

So good luck in choosing your phone wisely. And if you have more solutions that can help me out, feel free to give. Thanks.

THANKGOD! I finally sold the crap!

I prefer the new Tecno L3 and I'm going for it.

When the news first broke that the Federal Government has decided to posting all Corp members either to the education or farming sector of the country a lot of people spoke out, accusing the government of losing the original focus of the scheme which was for national integration and furtherance of what was learnt back in school. Well it seems the Federal Government has decided to back track on its original decision and ensure that corps members obtain work experience relevant to their academic qualifications; by this the management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has decided that from the next batch of positing Corp members would not be sent only to schools and farms.
Graduates of medicine would therefore be posted to hospitals and health centers, law graduates would be posted to Ministries of Justice, law chambers and Legal-based NGOs, just like others would be posted to organisations where their academic qualifications would be deployed to use. Graduates of Education and single honours would be deployed to schools under the new policy.
The policy was adopted last year after the realisation that most organisations, especially in the private sector, take advantage of the scheme to keep their wage bill low as they do not make any effort to retain any corps members who served with them; rather they would throw them into the labour market and demand for fresh corps members.
The Chairman of the Board of the NYSC, Chief Gordon Bozimo, made this disclosure in an exclusive interview with THISDAY where he noted that the NYSC would not allow private sector organisations to take advantage of its CMs anymore.
This, he added, would be done through the demand and signing of an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with any private sector organisation that demands for corps members to retain a certain percentage of the corps members at the end of the service year.
“If an organisation writes us to send corps members to them, it means they have need for manpower; these are graduates, they are educated, they are not clerks, so if we are send 50 corps members, the organisation would sign an MoU to retain at least, let’s say 30 percent. That will also make the corps members know they have something at stake, they have to show good example and work hard,” he said.
This arrangement, he clarified does not, however, mean that such CMs at the end of their service year would not undergo the aptitude tests of the organisations if they have those as requirement for full employment. Bozimo added that it is counter-productive to send a doctor to teach in a school as a year of teaching cannot be considered as relatable work experience for such doctor.
“In some schools, you get more corps members than full time teachers, so we are hoping that by the next batch, we would send corps members to where their expertise would be appropriate,” he added. The Board Chairman disclosed that the NYSC is working with state governments to improve the living conditions in the camps that need improvements especially in terms of security, power and water supply to the camps.

OLAADEGBU: You better get out of the bus that is going in the wrong direction.

Pastor Olu T: Lovely

Thanks! I pray it touches souls and heal lives!

This is quite revealing and simple. Just read on and follow me lets enter d place
From any part of Lagos city (or any city, town or village), you will have to get to the first bus stop called RECOGNITION! Now beware because some bus conductors may actually deceive you or lure you into missing your destination. Now hear this, some conductors (using the agbero accent) may call it “riconisurrn” “riconisurrn”! But shine ya eye well well, you should see ‘Romans 3:23 FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD’. When you know this, then you’ll safe, really safe!

From RECOGNITION, you’ll get to the next bus stop ABSOLUTION! Biko o it may sound like ‘asolusurrn’ from (you know na) our people’s mouth but no shaking! Just check out for ‘Romans 6:23 FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH…’ What an absolute statement! This means that sin has brought eternal death and separation from God and the eternal death is hell. Fortunately, the next bus stop brings hope.

REDEMPTION is the next stop you’ll encounter! Don’t worry; this is how to know when you’ve gotten there. Look at the 16th roll of the 3rd line at the top of the bus stand called John. Believe me, you’ll see it because it reads “FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.” This life erases the death brought by sin and this is so everlasting. Isn’t that awesome?!
The next stop is SALVATION! Yes, SALVATION. Because you can be saved!!! Just read: Romans 10:13 says “FOR WHOSOEVER CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED”. What situation are you in today? What is your relationship with the creator looking like? Are you lost? Dejected? Depressed? ARE YOU BORN AGAIN? Right now, even as you’re reading this, you can be saved! Please say this prayer carefully and sincerely:
Father, I come to you as a sinner. I committed the sins in ignorance of your word. But today, I repent of them. Forgive me my sins, wash me clean with your Son’s precious blood. Write my name in the book of life and come into my heart. Lord Jesus, Thank you for saving me in Jesus name (Amen).
Congratulations! You are a confirmed passenger of the BRT (BLOOD of JESUS through REDEMPTION as a TESTIMONY) bus and you’re headed for heaven direct!
For counseling and prayer, please call 08053773017
