It could be your friends, relatives, church members etc.

Dont be surprised that some people do not beleive you earn as much

The most important question to ask in this matter is how those shops were built in the first instance. I am sure many people built shops anywhere they so pleased without giving considerations to the legality of the structure.

I am personally affected by the demolition, but i must confess to you that the government do not have to provide any alternative when the structures are illegally occupied. We can talk about relocation or compensation if shops at TEJUOSHO market are demolished.

El Rufai did the same thing in Abuja some years back and many people were affected, but today, those people are a party to those saying Abuja is beautiful.

this is one of the funniest thread i have ever seen.

it seems you guys have not found any match for the following banks, unity bank, city group

its about 3 weeks after the interview

Where could all these arguments and hate take us.

If we all understand why we fall sick, then there will be no argument about if pastors fall sick or not, or there body na fire wood?

bailo:
please people i would like to know what te next move will be after we have had this interview.are we going to be contacted or do we check their website to know those of us who are sucessful.abeg someone should jist me about the pay package of firstbank because am hearing so many confussing things.thanks

The way forward is to start checking their web site everyday to confirm if you are shortlisted for medical. I did the interview last year and was denied medical.

2dye4:
put the flower in a vase and save it for her funneral, then she wouldnt be able to reject it.

i am sure she would wake up and still reject it

what will i do? so funny I will not throw it away o. i go and beg her, but if she no gree, i will go and come back another day with another flower.if she now rejects the new flower, then i can throw it away

My heart was broken by the sudden exit of our coach, i did not feel it untill after the last match against UNITED. Even united fans would agree with me that we would have won the match. (refree )

I AM STILL BLUE
FORVER BLUE

@zebra

cool down chairman. I left yabatech in 2004, i am not just working, i am gainfully employed in one of the best places anyone can dream of working in Nigeria. I think we have discussed this issue of HND and even the government does not have an answer to the problem facing poly graduate, most of us that attended these victimised schools did so because there were few or no alternatives.


@all

Please go ahead and register for any course of your choice in YABATEK

Many people are aware that Muslims observe an annual fast, during the month of Ramadan. Why they do so, after the Prayer, they fast through the day until sunset, when they take another meal ending the day’s fast.

however, is not always so well known. It is primarily a technique of seeking proximity to God. In a sense, it is a counter-part to prayer. This year over 1.3 billion Muslims around the world are already observing their holiest month of Ramadan.

Prophet Muhammad(saw) said, “Ramadan burns the sins and faults, just as the fire burns the wood.” The importance of this divine month was reiterated by the Prophet when he said, “The Month of Ramadan is the month of Allah (God), bringing His Mercy and Forgiveness.” According to the Holy Qur’an, fasting was made obligatory by God not only for the followers of the Prophet Muhammad but also for the followers of all the Prophets who preceded him (including prophets Moses and Jesus): “O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those who preceded you; that perhaps you will be mindful of God,” (Qur’an 2:183).

The basic mandatory elements of the Muslim fast, how-ever, are straightforward. As the Qur’an and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad expound, it consists in the simple abstention from food, drink and sexual relations during the hours of daylight. Just before the call for the Dawn Prayer is given, the Muslims gather to share the meal called suhur, usually a light meal of vegetables, yogurt and fruit. Then, usually break fast together. When invited to break the fast, the Prophet Muhammad used to supplicate for his hosts by saying: “May those who are fasting break their fast with you, and may the pious eat of your food and may the angels invoke blessings for you. O Allah feed the one who fed me, and give drink to the one who gave me drink.”

But what of the infirm, the elderly and those whose work involves strenuous physical labor? According to the Qur’an, anyone sick or engaged upon a journey is entitled not to observe the fast, and no blame attaches to this. The days in which the fast is broken are made up at any later time during the year when the sickness is at an end or when the traveler returns. As for the elderly or the incurably ill, such people are neither required to observe the fast nor to make it up afterwards. Those working at tasks which are extremely physically demanding, such as quarry-men or steel workers, are likewise permitted to break the fast, together with certain other categories of people, such as pregnant women. The guiding principle, as with every other practice of Islam, is that what can’t be done, or causes extreme hardship, is not required.

It is essential to try to understand the effects of fasting on the human spirit. Muslims say that when they fast they feel that a barrier has been erected between them and the world. No longer are they constantly absorbing sustenance from their the effects of this is to compel them to realize their total dependence upon food and drink, so that they fervently thank their Creator for His unfailing provision of their daily needs. In addition, they will come to know hunger. We read so often that one-quarter of the world’s population is in a state of constant hunger, yet how many of us realize the nature of this sensation? If our lunch is two hours late most of us feel extremely uncomfortable. But to grasp the true meaning of hunger, it is necessary to go without food for longer time. By the end of a day’s fast, the Muslim usually feels hungry, but not unbearably so. Thus we are awakened in the most real and direct way to the plight of millions of our fellow human beings, and will be more willing and ready to extend to them our assistance.

Ramadan is declared by God as a month of blessings, the Holy Qur’an, the greatest favor upon humankind, was gifted in this month. The Prophet called it a month of sympathy, an equalizer of rich and poor and the Divine Will multiplied rewards during it.

Fasting is worship, a time of reflection to refresh our long-forgotten pledge with God, the pledge of being perfect witnesses of the Prophets’ lifestyle. It is the time to look at ourselves critically, see where have we departed from the ways of Prophets Muhammad, Jesus, Moses, Abraham and other prophets (peace be upon them all), eradicate selfishness, ego, and violence and excel in love for all human beings.

Efforts during this month never go wasted as we have that extra-special divine Grace during this season of blessings, of blossoms of love and most certainly,




don't forget to put a smile on someone's face
during this month and after the month.

I am short of words.

@jayon

Thank you for all your posts, you are also contributing to the significance of the month of ramadan period, people all over the world are aware of the month and i personally dont expect everyone to be happy about it. If you are one of those, too bad



@ D ummah

Take the full advantage of the holy month to ask ALLAH for all you desire and most especially,for FORGIVENESS

DONT GIVE UP
KEEP CHECKING
YOU MUGHT HAVE PASSED


IF YOU HAVE CHECKED AND PASSED
PLEASE PRINT YOUR LETTER INSTANTLY
THE SITE MIGHT SAY ANOTHER THING IN THE NEXT MINUTE

I WISH EVERYONE BEST OF LUCK.


FOR THE INTERVIEW

If they have not changed, you will do the interview in two ways, the first will be in a group of about ten, a question will be thrown at the group for discussion. You must try and say something before the end of the time allowed.
The second face is only you, the panel would ask you acaedamic and questions relating to the bank and other questions.

Good luck

stellose:
@gettolove, what do you mean about this is the begining of the screening from human capital, and that they are human beings? are you not happy for those that passed? at least be happy for yourself and others please.

I am for the people that passed and also happy for those that did not because they are still alive.

Tayotere:
I got the text message this morning too, and I rushed to print out my invitation letter, but when I inserted my Number it was another persons name that came out.


i don't know what to do, please is anybody facing the same problem in the house.

help me out

I have similar problem.
Go to the head office

ogoogirl:
my people there's a problm with mine. i just checked now the name on my iv letter is not mine but the id no is mine. can someone give me the no of their hr let me call them and complain to them please i need your help.

I am a bit relieved, i now know i have a housemate sharing a similar problem. The name on my letter is not mine too but my I.D. is still the same i used during the test, i also got a text message to confirm my data.

I will go to the head office and complain to the human capital, calling them may appear unserious.

PAST EXPERIENCE WITH FIRST BANK

I passed the test last year too and also did interview but due to their I.T. inconsistencies, i did not get my medical letter on time as the web site was given me a wrong informaton, where as i was actually shortlisted for medical but i neither got a text message nor notice via the internet for medical test. AFTER constant visit to the cyber cafe because of my self appraisal on the INTVW, i found out that i was shortlisted for medical test which closed on the day i visited the hospital(yaba).

ADVICE

If you have checked your result and the site says 'thank you for your interest in the bank, ',i would advise you check over and over again untill you are satisfied.

For those that passed the last test, congrats, but don't forget that this is the begining of the screening. THE HUMAN CAPITAL DEPT. IN FIRST BANK ARE HUMAN BEINGS

Why friday? shaban ended ystd

THE HUMAN BEIGN IS THE MOST WONDERFUL THING CREATED BY GOD.

I pray that we all witness this coming ramadan in good health coupled with abundant wealth.I just want to implore everyone to try and make someone happy during the period of ramadan. Sharing what you have during the holy month is very rewarding.

A bag of cold pure water/cartorn of bottled water every day in a local mosque is not a bad idea


N.B You can also feed non muslims as well

Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Power) is described in the Quran as, "better than a thousand months" (97:3). Any action done on this night such as reciting the Quran, remembering Allah, etc. is better than acting for one thousand months which do not contain the night of Qadr.

Allah's Messenger used to exert himself in devotion during the last ten nights to a greater extent than at any other time." (Muslim). Allah's peace and blessings be upon our beloved Prophet.

Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, related that the Prophet said: Look for Laylatul Qadr on an odd-numbered night during the last ten nights of Ramadan (Bukhari).

The Prophet said: "Whoever prays during the night of Qadr with faith and hoping for its reward will have all of his previous sins forgiven." (Bukhari and Muslim recorded from Abu Huraira).

Here are some tips of things we can do on the Night of Power and the time before and after it.[color=#000099][/color]
1. Take a vacation for Allah

We take a break from our jobs for almost everything in life. Why not this time to focus on worshiping and thanking our Creator.

If this is not possible at least take a few days off if you can. This can make it easier to stay awake at night to do extra Ibadah, not having to worry about getting to work the next day.

It will also facilitate doing Itikaf.

2. Do Itikaf

It was a practice of the Prophet to spend the last ten days and nights of Ramadan in the masjid for Itikaf.

Those in Itikaf stay in the masjid all this time, performing various forms of zikr (the remembrance of Allah), like doing extra Salat, recitation and study of the Quran. They do not go outside the masjid except in case of emergencies, therefore, they sleep in the masjid. Their families or the masjid administration takes care of their food needs.

Itikaf of a shorter period of time, like one night, a day or a couple of days is encouraged as well.

3. Make this special Dua

Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said: I asked the Messenger of Allah: 'O Messenger of Allah, if I know what night is the night of Qadr, what should I say during it?' He said: 'Say: O Allah, You are pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me.' "(Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and Tirmidhi).

The transliteration of this Dua is "Allahumma innaka `afuwwun tuhibbul `afwa fa`fu `annee"

4. Recite the Quran

Perhaps you can choose Surahs or passages from the Quran which you have heard in Tarawih this past Ramadan to recite.

If you attend a class where the recitation of the Quran is taught, this is a great time to put your knowledge into practice.

5. Reflect on the meaning of the Quran

Choose the latest Surah or Surahs you've heard in Tarawih and read their translation and Tafseer. Then think deeply about their meaning and how it affects you on a personal level.

(If you want to study the Quran with more understanding, check out Way to the Quran and Access to Quranic Arabic.

6. Get your sins wiped out

Abu Huraira narrated that the Messenger said: Whoever stands (in prayer) in Laylatul Qadr while nourishing his faith with self-evaluation, expecting reward from Allah, will have all of his previous sins forgiven. [Bukhari and Muslim).

Don't just pray using the shorter Surahs that you know. Try to make your prayers longer, deeper and meaningful. If you are familiar with longer Surahs, read the translation and explanation and then pray reciting these Surahs, carefully reflecting on the meaning while you pray.

Even if you are only familiar with the shorter Surahs, read the translation and explanation beforehand, and then pray reflecting on the message of the Surahs.

This is a good way to develop the habit of concentration, even in regular prayers, where many of us tend to be fidgety and/or easily distracted.

7. Make a personal Dua list.

Ask yourself what you really want from Allah. Make a list of each and everything, no matter how small or how big it is, whether it deals with this world or not. Allah loves to hear from us. Once this list is ready, you can do three things:

• Ask Allah to give you those things
• Think about what actions you have taken to get those things
• Develop a work plan to get those things in future.

8. Evaluate yourself.

Ask yourself those questions that need to be asked. Do an evaluation of where you are and where you are going. Let this evaluation lead you to feel happiness for the good you have done and remorse for the bad you have done. (see a short and a long evaluation guide) This latter feeling should make it easier to seek Allah's sincere forgiveness when making the Dua mentioned in tip number one above.

9. Make long, sincere and deep Duas

One of the best times to do this is during the last part of the night.

Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, related that the Prophet said: When the last one-third of the night remains, our Lord, the Glorious One descends towards the heaven of the earth and proclaims: Who is that who supplicates for Me, and I grant his supplication? Who is that who begs Me for anything and I grant it to him? And who is that who seeks My forgiveness, and I forgive him? (Bukhari, Muslim).

That means for instance, waking up one hour before Suhoor time to ask Allah for anything and everything you want that is Halal. This can be done using the Duas of the Sunnah, but also Dua in your own language, with sincerity and conviction.

For some tips on making Dua please see the article Some personal Duas you can make.

10. Memorize a different Dua every night

They don't have to be long. They can be just one line. And be sure to know what they mean generally at least, even if you don't know the exact translation in English.

You can put them on index cards (or and keep them with you during the day, glancing at them during work, while driving, waiting in line, etc.) Then practice them at night in prayer.

11. Have Iftar with the family

If you've spent Iftar time on weekdays in your cubicle at work alone with a couple of dates, now is the last few days you'll have this Ramadan to spend with your family. Use it wisely.

12. Take the family to Tarawih

Have your spouse and kids missed Tarawih most of Ramadan because you weren't there to drive them to the Masjid, which is too far away to walk to? If so, do all of yourselves a favor and bring everyone for Tarawih in these last ten nights.

13. Attend the Dua after the completion of Quran recitation

Almost all Masjids where the Imam aims to finish an entire reading of the Quran in Tarawih prayers in Ramadan will be completing their recitation in these last ten nights. They may try to end on one of the odd nights and read the Dua at the end of a reading of the Quran. Attend this particular night's Tarawih prayer with your family. See if you can attend different Masjids' Tarawih prayers the night they finish reading the Quran.

14. Finish reading a book on the Prophet

Read about the Prophet's life, which can increase your love for him and Islam by seeing how much he struggled for Allah's sake. It may inspire you to push yourself even harder during these last ten nights. This community is built on sacrifice.

15. Plan for the next year

Once you've done a self-evaluation, you can plan on where you want to go, at least in the next 12 months. Laylatul Qadr is a great night to be thinking about this (without taking away from your worship), since you'll Insha Allah, be in a more contemplative state. You may choose to dedicate one night of power for evaluation and one night for planning for the next year.

16. To do list for the Night of Power

Make a to do checklist for each Night of Power. This should define how you would like your night, the one better than a thousand months, to be used. Pick things from this list and define the sequence you would like to do things in. This will help you avoid wasting your time in unproductive chats which common in the festive atmosphere of Masjids at the Night of Power
