There should be a comma after the surname, still. Or written in all caps. Or both. That is, Dr. SURNAME, H.A . Or, SURNAME, H.A (PhD). Otherwise its still written the way the OP said. For example, Professor K.A Stroud, Professor R.K Rajput. If you studied Engineering I think these names should be familiar to you.

To add to the list..

Professor P.N Okeke, Professor M.W Anyakoha

Funny
But is the roommate that dumb; I am sure anyone can tell the smell of VEET hair removal from a mile away even if it is mixed with Vanilla and strawberry. Well, she shagged her Friend's man, so I am not surprised.
She should consider that poison Cersei used to kill that Dornish princess in GOT. Slow but very lethal

...same poison that was used on Cersei's daughter, by that Dornish lady. GoT all the way till 2019.

Good day everyone, just wanted to let the house know that I got a positive assessment (Agricultural Scientist) from vetassess as at this morning.
It took 9 weeks and some days, had assessor contact. I want to appreciate @belong for his help, @josh for guiding me through this phase, @koleefem05, @segunwamiri, funbi and everybody that has contributed directly or indirectly. I want to say God bless you all. Love forever

Congrats man! One step at a time.

Please, you said you had assessor contact, mind explaining? Also, how did they verify your work experience claim? If they did, was it the contact on your reference letter that they contacted? Other details will be fine.

Thanks

Thought i was the only one that did this.... Infact i have the groundnut I'll use beside me right now....

I can relate to that garri drinking habit, not from personal experience though, but from my colleague in the office... Exactly when we are ready to go home, is when he will sneak downstairs, and go straight to aboki's kiosk to buy ijebu garri, sugar and groundnut... Very annoying.

Going home with him will end this year!!

Asin!

And they'll be banking on emotions and other unnecessary necessities.

...hoping that he/she would change later on when they probably get married.

makydebbie:
Sure. Once you see a partner with questionable traits regarding issues like this, walk away.

Exactly what a rational thinking fellow should do, but no, they will choose to tow the path of putting sentiment and emotion first and allow cloud their decision.

makydebbie:
Lemme read.

Awwn sister this is sad. I believe it's a blessing in disguise, imagine if it was your money that was squandered that way..?

The fact that it worked for couple A doesn't mean it'll work for couple B. Some guys are worth the risk, while some ain't.

You are right!

The ultimate question is to know those that are worth the risk and those that ain't. Same applies to the female folks too.

I really don't know the section to send this to but I think crime should be the best.
A friend of mine asked for my help on a situation she is currently facing and she needs help,at her place of work her boss has been approaching her and she has turned him down a couple of times but he doesn't want to be cool about it.
She told me that he (her boss) said if she doesn't sleep with him she isn't going to receive her December pay all efforts to plead with him has fallen on deaf ears.
Am clueless about this and I would love to get suggestions from everyone and anyone who can help out.
Thanks.

I feel your girlfriend might have already slept with her boss, but this time around he wants it one more time before either sacking or dumping her for another. The good thing is that she has already made up her mind not to continue sleeping with him.

Threatening to withhold a her pay just cos she refused to sleep with him after working for it is madness! Anyway, it seems more like a romantic lobby joke to me. Threat ko.

TechSandra:
Please I need your opinion on this. A brother needs some advice.

He got 2 admissions, One at a Federal Univeristy via Jamb-UTME to study Computer science for 4 years and another one via Direct Entry at a Federal College of Edu affiliated to UNN, to study Computer education for 3 years. He's currently 25 and is confused of which to go for. He's very worried about the age he'll graduate considering that he's the first son, and also the kind of degree he'll get if he chooses the 3 year option.

Your wise words are appreciated.

He should opt for the 4 years JAMB Computer Science admission. If he goes otherwise, he will MOST DEFINITELY regret it.

Good day nairalanders,
I need an advise from any lawyer in the house. I got a new job and was a given a letter of employment by the HR personnel of the company. I told the HR personnel that I have to give one month notice to my current employer then but she insisted on 3weeks. I agreed with the 3 weeks and sent my letter of resignation giving 3 weeks ahead as my last day with my current employer then. After about a week the HR personnel told me that the company cannot pay me the agreed amount, I told her that I have dropped my resignation letter and there is nothing I can do about it at that point in time. Thanks for your responses.

I just hope and pray you formally accepted the offer, else, you may be on a long thing man. If you happen to have accepted, then sue their sorry as.s in an industrial court.
Crazy fellows!!!

MaziOmenuko:
Yes, u have a strong case. Head to an industrial court and file your case. You may not need the services of a lawyer if you can't afford one. This is a serious breach of contract; forget about the letter they are asking for, they gave you a valid appointment letter stating the conditions of engagement.

For the benefit of others reading:

When you get a new offer, resume immediately! Forget the one month in Lieu nonsense. There is provisions in the labor act for monitizing it. You return one month basic salary to them and move on. Maximum of one week notice is ideal if u are in a position where a comprehensive handover is required.

Another option is to get your annual leave and resume At the new place. Mail them towards the end of the leave and then take two days and return to them to formalise the exit.

I prefer a hard copy letter and keep a signed copy. If u must mail, then copy your own private mail.

Don't let those bastards get away with this. Sue their ars.e for the entire offer they gave u multiplied by 35 yrs u would have worked for them, include legal fees, inconvenience fee and 12% interest rate pending on when the case will be concluded. Industrial court don don't take that long.

Was about typing this as advise, then I read your write up!

But if the fellow didn't formally accept the offer, then he is on a long thing bro...

It’s high time Nigeria govt stand up as a sovereign nation and tell USA to Bleep off with their fucking money

Are you not ashamed of yourself when America threaten your country that if Nigeria doesn’t follow her instruction to abstain from the voting process, she ll punish your country?


Peace

Mr man! Keep quiet if you don't have anything sensible to say!! Gosh!!!

Kidnappers, armed robbers, ritualists et al don't deserve my pity!

SallyAUS:
Hi this is where GOD surprised me While I was waiting for my naija transcript to travel and reach vetasses. I had applied with what i had my Msc in Construction Project Management (UK) and it was more than enough. Apparently, with Vetasses A Masters degree in the Nominated occupation esp CPM or Project builder is more than enough...

for experience ideally you must have at least more than a year. because if eg you submit with 2 years experience vetasses will remove one year and your positive outcome year will be least a year some times even more... it can be positive outcome experience 10 months. I hope you understand

Hello ma'am,

A big congrats to you!

Actually, I'm sending in my documents for assessment with vetassess next year, and I will be assessing for 8+years experience. Now, why would vetassess slash the years of experience by one? Is it that there is something they look out for or there's an information one needs to provide or is it their thing to slash years of experience??

I'm a Civil/Structural Engineer, assessing as civil engineering draftsperson.

Mind a PM?

Many thanks.

slowpoke, some 239 people were still returned from Libya yesterday and more have been brought back since early this year.

You are a NINCOMPOOP for standing behind a failed government! I don't do this, but I swear you deserve it!! OAF

Rubbish talk from a man with no iota of sense and reality. Nigerians are slaughtered daily, here in the country, and he did absolutely NOTHING! How much more in faraway Lybia? Keep deceiving yourself and the gullible lots that sing your praises.

A Nigerian president will rally AU peace-keepers/peace-enforcers almost immediately, and go flush out those miscreant perpetrating such a heinous crime on their fellow Africans, but NO, he's busy junketeering!!

Shameless, useless and wasteful government!!!

I give glory to God...Make una follow me thank him!!

(20 points mi ti pe ..I updated my EOI sharply, withdrew the 190 for Vic and the seperate EOI for Tasmania(dont ask me why i had up to 3 EOI cos the hustle was real)...anyway i left NSW cos it was too busy at work for me, will do that later.

Congrats Misoke!

Please, how come you have three EOIs? Are they based on three different EOI IDs? I know there is a provision where one can check more than one visa class, was this how you did yours?

I have filled up mine, and checked 189 and 190. I only need to update my assessment outcome when it's out, before submitting.

I want to believe you checked three visa classes to have three EOI.

Please, kindly explain better if I am wrong, so I can sharply make corrections.

Thanks a bunch!!!

Critical reasoning is FREE!!!

WHAT TRIGGERED THE MARTIN LUTHER REFORMATION?
Here is the story, and why I think the Church is back to where it was before the Martin Luther Reformation exactly 500 years ago.
1. Before 1517, everyone belonged to the Roman Catholic Church which was the official religion, with the Pope as the head. The Pope had the final say on all issues concerning religion.
2. Pope Leo X wanted to build a fanciful Church building called St. Peters Basilica in Rome. The building was going to cost him so much. Hence, he decided to raise money from the sale of indulgences from purgatory.
3. Purgatory was invented by the Catholic Pope during the Crusades in order to get more men into the army. The pope claimed he could buy souls back from hell. His soldiers believed him and the practice continued.
4.The manipulation of the people through the sale of indulgences from purgatory(Offering God money in order to get God's favor) infuriated Martin Luther. The same idea of indulgences and purgatory was why MANDATORY TITHES and offerings got established in the early Church. 'God gets excited at the sound of coins in the offering plate'.
5. On Oct. 31st, 1517, a Roman Catholic Monk named Martin Luther posted 95 Theses on the door of the Church claiming salvation was by faith alone, among others. He claimed the Pope had no power to forgive sins or collect indulgences from purgatory.
His 5 pillars were, 1) sola fide( faith alone), 2) sola scriptura (by scriptures alone), 3) solus Christus (through Christ alone), 4)sola gratia (by grace alone), 5)soli deo gloria (for God's glory alone)
6. The posting of the theses happened at the early beginnings of the invention of the print media, just like today's internet. Within weeks, Luther's theses was widespread all over Germany, and all over Europe within months.
7. Before that, nobody had challenged the authority of the Church or Pope and lived. The Church had killed all scientists, historians or anyone who had a contrary view to the Pope. Often burning them publicly or beheading them.
8. Hence, the posting of the Theses was like Martin Luther posting his own death notice.
Ever heard the story of David and Goliath? The Pope was Goliath, Martin Luther was not even a David, he was a worm. The Pope could crush him easily. Somehow, the Pope was not able to. He referred to Luther as a wild boar. Luther often referred to the Pope as a 'lustful dog'.
9. Martin Luther was summoned by the council of Church and State to recant his writings. He declared he wouldn't as he was prepared to die for what his conscience believed.
10. Meanwhile, he remained in the Roman Catholic Church as starting another form of Christianity was not his goal. Luther's mission was to reform the Roman Catholic Church.
11. The Pope declared Luther a non-grata, meaning whoever killed him was doing God a favor. His life was put at risk.
12. Martin Luther was then kidnapped by close friends and hidden in a castle. His physical form was disguised for fear that he would be killed. He had already become so popular in Europe through his writings.
13. While hidden away and in Isolation, he translated the entire Bible for the first time into German from Latin, giving everyone access to the Bible for the first time. From German, it was then translated into other languages. This officially put an end to the dark age, the age of gross illiteracy.
14. Before Luther's Bible, the Bible had only existed in Greek and Latin which only Priests had access to. You could be killed if found with a copy of the Bible. This gave the Priests so much power, similar to today's Priests and Pastors.
15. As more people read the Bible for themselves, revolts broke out all over Europe as people saw how the Church had taken advantage of them over many years. The Pope lost so much power and the Roman Catholic Church became irrelevant. Luther called out the Popes, Bishops, and princes without mincing words, often challenging them to public debates.
16. Because everyone now had the Bible, different sections began to break out of the Catholic Church every man claiming his own revelation. There were the Lutherans, Calvinists, Puritans, Unitarians, Anglicans, and many more. The differences between them were so slight and insignificant, and denominationalism was born. This revolt led to the killing of so many of the revolters by the Catholic Church.
17. Each of these denominations grew so much in power, became capitalists and began to practice in new forms and with new languages, exactly what the Catholic Church was doing that led to the break out of the reformation in the first place.
18. Denominationalism then became Capitalism. Churches became more about big and beautiful buildings, how much profit you can get from the people, selling cajoles to people in exchange for money in order to fund the lavish lifestyles.
19. 500 years after, we are back to where it all began. We are practicing that old form of Catholicism. The church now is about money and buildings, tithes and offerings.
20. Who shall write for us another 95 theses?
500 years of the Reformation. We are still bleeding...

Pray for the Church!!!


And you know the worst part of everything?
When people pay their tithe, the pastor calls them out and prays for them with a specific tone; "God bless these ones that have given to you." The others that don't have to give, they are left to say amen to the prayers for others. And you say you are giving willingly? Nope, you are not!! You are giving to avoid being cursed cox the pastor makes you feel that not giving when others are giving carries a curse already... and he tries to buttress his point by praying for them specially.

I always ask; do you know how many people have lost loved ones because they had to choose between paying their tithe or paying their loved one's medical bills? Do you know how many marriages have been broken and how many people have become homeless cox they decided to choose between paying tithe and doing the needful? My God won't want that kind of dealings. He wants you to be happy; Not broken as a result of the loss of your loved ones, not homeless, not a divorcé. He wants a cheerful giver, not a giver under compulsion!!! But pastors have made you give under compulsion because they make you feel you are robbing God and as a result you would be cursed! Very wrong!!! Very Very Wrong!!! "No one taketh My life, I lay It down." So if you can't take God's life, how do you think you can rob God? Hahaha..

Well said. The gullible ones will always quote to count based on years of brainwashing.

Good day Nairalanders.... I work as an IT PERSONNEL in an ICT firm. my boss bought a laptop in computer village after using it for about 7 months the laptop developed motherboard fault, I took the faulty laptop to service center for repair since it's still under warranty but on getting there I was told it's a not under warranty because it's an USA laptop. I took it back to the office telling my boss what the problem is so he told me to return it back to where he bought it that they will have solution to it there. now the laptop have been there for over a month with no solution. He refused to pay my salary because of the laptop saying it's when I get solution to the laptop that I can be paid.please help what can I do

This only happens in ONE MAN BUSINESS!!! Bro, leave that firm while you can and if you can.

Rubbish, I'm not even surprised.

Know your worth, Advance yourself and seek for a better job in a more organised firm.

diggy4real:
My dear, it marvels me.I just reviewed again and the system is still giving me 3-5years experience.

You can allow for some interval, say one or two months, so you can fall within 5-8yrs. I am doing same to fall within 8-10yrs.

jayooh:
sorry Bro but it translates to 5yrs exactly. 12months = 1year
Let him just give it a while and try again. Seems like all the migration system need another round of updates.
Skillselect ITA results never show up. . .

Sorry about the mix up bro. He should allow for one or two months to fall within 5-8yrs then.
