PoliticsRe: 'I Can’t Afford A PR Firm’ — Okonjo-Iweala Seeks Volunteers For WTO Campaign by Focusmind: 1:24pm On Jul 08, 2020
don't worry, I will volunteer. I am trying to sign up. I hope I would be allowed to come and do internship in WTO.

I am looking for a way to sign in. That is the way it starts. Most politicians and leaders of multilateral agencies does that as well. They always have volunteers to campaign for them and at the end, there are some non monetary benefits like exposure, getting information regarding the agency and the candidate, getting to know the contestant very well and having the person as a mentor.

People may crticise it but it pays. I know one guy that was part of Atiku's media campaign online. He was able to meet Atiku one on one later. Finally, Atiku's name was included in one of his proposals as a referee and the contractor called him. The fact that he knew Atiku somehow made him relevant among other proposals

So campaigning for high-profile candidate is not bad at all but try and make yourself visible. All na part of networking.

What do they enjoy with their fellow men? Tufiakwa! And he had the boldness to confirm to the whole world in one of his shows that him dey do (f*ck) his fellow man!

Sight of a fellow man touching me will be so disgusting to me.

Honestly, I pray for my Dad. He is in his 70s and not so strong for the past 4 years. I have told him to remain indoors most of time because of coro as he is already predisposed.

Old people should stay at home please. Tell your parents and relatives who are elderly or suffering from old age diseases. Coro no de mercy them. They should stay at home and people should not visit them any how.

These are how those without good dress sense looks like. Very Common among fat guys and K-leg guys.

My boss always says that those without good sense of dressing are not usually smart and lacks confidence. But with straight pant trousers, starched white shirt, clean shaven, a brown Zara shoe and Suit, you looks intimidating and appealing and exuding so much confidence.

If you are in a service industry or a consultant, you need to look sharp, smart and successful for people to do business with you grin

People like to associate with successful people in business. So, take your dressing seriously. It must not be expensive but well fitted. That's what matters. I pick all my quality shoes, Zara suites, jackets as ok and then my laundry man finishes the work. He will think it was bought in high-street in London

This is why I suspected if Raymond Dokpesi actually had Coro.

These guys can say anything to get out of hook and weep up sentiments. His lawyers would have advised him to play the corona virus card and delay his appearance in court and slow down EFCC assault. And guess what? It worked for him. He is chilling now in his mansion in Abuja.

This Orji wan use the same format. Next thing now, he would announced that he has got Coro and would be visiting isolation center.

Fear Nigerian politicians!

Adedipupo aka Kkconsult, don't you think it will be more credible for you and what you represent on this platform to deliver on the services you have been paid for.

Why would you take 250k for engineering drawings and disappear without picking your calls for over one month? I won't consider this fraud yet until you refuse to revert within the next week.
Honestly,i don't know why some Engineers in this forum behaves like this?? They will collect money and promise to deliver in one week's time.

After one, two and four weeks no show. When you call him, he won't pick and will be avoiding you.

Stupidly, he would come to nairaland again soliciting and advertising his job again. I am currently pursuing one like that with SARS. He seems to be hiding but we will get him after collecting 300k to deliver on windows.

This kind of thing does not go hand in hand with the wacky and indiscipline nature of Nigerians.

We lack decency and decorum in this country. So crude and backwards in everything. It is not about the government. it is about the citizens. The lackadaisical atitudes of Nigerians are second to none.

Go there after somedays, you will see how the things will be misused and abused by people.

Ebonyi state is a barren state that adds nothing to the igbo nation. They are mainly illiterates and constituting nuisance everywhere.
And they sabi born like rabbit - you will see a very wretched couple given birth to 9 to 11 children and at the end will put them up for adoption as house maids, hawkers and nanny. The value system of people in Ebonyi is wack and need to be changed
Ebonyi needs serious reorientation
Jobs/VacanciesRe: 4625 Graduates Apply For Amotekun Job In Osun by Focusmind:
The current state of our nation. The current state of unemployment in this country is terrible. Every year, thousands are put into the unemployment market.

Let me shock you. In the place I stay, we have an aboki that we pay 25k every month, which is contributed by all the tenants. He washes cars in the compound by choice and for each car washed, he is paid N500. Everyday, he makes an average of 2 to 3 thousand depending on the cars he washes, which means in a month, he is making up to 80k. Remember, he lives in the security post with toilet and bath. A complete self con.

In March, at the outbreak of the pandemic, he said he would be travelling to his state, Katsina and he would bring someone to replace him in his job. One tenant said no, that he has his relation that is a graduate and is looking for a job. He called the guy and after introduction and telling him what the job entails, he accepted.

He is currently the security man in the building, opening gates and washing the cars. He said his life is far better now as at least he has roof over his head and sees up to 50k every month unlike when he was not doing any thing.

A graduate of chemistry!!. Though nothing wrong in that job after all, we all did it back then in UK. Accepting that job by graduate shows the current state of our nation.

Oga spyder, I do like all these sharp lines on the wall. At what point do you put it? Is it before plastering or what.

Do you put cello tape and plaster and then remove tape to form those lines? I don't know how and when it is done.
RomanceRe: Ladies How Do You Cope With An Overbearing Man??? by Focusmind: 6:57am On Jun 27, 2020
Please don't take this issue likely. If he is behaving this way at the time he is relatively comfortable, no issues yet, how is he going to behave when things becomes difficult, marriage issues crops in, depression sets in?

Sister, this kind of character is dangerous I must tell you. Check if you could absorb all shocks. Imagine insisting on you going to Ikeja at that hour and stress and didn't care about your opinion.

Sometimes my wife offers her opinion that I knew may be worthless but I still listened and accepted them as if they are top notch just to make her happy and open her up to contribute to issues and say her mind in discussions.

With him, I see your freedom being hijacked and you will constantly nag him that it may result in physical assault.

Don't defend any of his bad character. When people are in love, they tend to overlook certain short comings of their partners.

Know if this trait is something you could tolerate. But please note that type of character is not healthy in marriage.
Watch please before you commit. The institution of marriage is under constant attack these days.

Tinibu is indeed and issue in Nigerian politics.

He has been trending for the past one week.

I don't know the obsession with Tinubu especially from SS/SE.

I have said it before that Tinubu is not the cause of their problem.

After ABBA Kyari, Tinubu seems to be the most hated by people.

I don't know what the man has done wrong. Even on issues that doesn't concern him, they will drag him to it.

If you are newly married, hammer your wife non-stop for the first 30day except when she is on her period.

That was what I did after my wedding. grin

I wedded on April 1, and started the hammering till end of month except her three red days.

By may ending, result show grin. So adopt this method so you don't miss her ovulation days as women don't even know their ovulation and cycle period.
