This is practically impossible unless they decided to disenfranchise some states from the recruitment exercise. The highest candidate from my state so far had 60% for both GT and EH
So how exactly did you gather this data?

My Redmi 7 fell a few minutes ago and the screen cracked.
I can still operate the phone but I'm thinking about buying a new screen.
Will this product do the trick.

I pay for stuffs online with simply just the details on my credit card. No OTP, No PIN. My brother this is 100% possible.
Are you sure?
In almost all websites you'll need otp for the first transaction.
Subsequently, this can be waived, but not the first time

Oloture came out in 2019, and for the instrumental, I don’t know the song. Are you sure you checked all the credits?
I checked, it's not there.
Wait oh. If the movie came out in 2019 how come people are just talking about it now?

I believe the agency would most likely adopt the PTDF OSS Shortlisting and Interview Method by inviting a particular number of both GT and EH (Say 50 and 30 respectively) candidates from each State.And it won't be a surprise to me if we're scheduled for the oral interview in the 1st week of December, 2020. We pray God for the APL.

IMPOSSIBLE!!!

Oloture 2020

After hearing so much about this movie, I finally decided to check it out and I kinda enjoyed it.
The movie was mostly well shot, so I don't have any complaints cinematography wise.
I really enjoyed how raw the movie was. It added a layer of realism to the whole experience. The actresses even went as far as going nude, which is something you don't usually see in Nigerian movies.
I also enjoyed the use of pidgin English in the movie. Their talk just dey sweet my belle.

Even though there is a lot to like in this movie, I can't help but fell like it wasn't executed well.

For starters, the whole idea of going undercover as a prostitute is quite ridiculous IMO. However, Oloture keeps behaving like she is a naive teenager who doesn't know what to expect from the world of prostitution which shouldn't be so.
Most of the "bad things" that happened to her are things that anyone with an ounce of sense would expect out of the Ashawo industry.
Also, How long does she think she can keep running away from clients without other people suspecting that there is something up with her?
If the other girls also see that she only goes off with one client (her journalist friend) that would also be weird.

Speaking about running away, I have to admit that even though I enjoyed the first club scene, its quite dumb when you think about it.
If she didn't want to sleep with that man, why did she agree to go to the room with him?
I also found it too convenient that the window in the room had a protector while the window in the bathroom did not have a protector.

Also, towards the end of the movie when they were searched and their phones taken away, I also found it incredibly dumb that Oloture will tell those guys that she didn't have a phone.
This raises a MASSIVE red flag. It's impossible to believe that a young olosho in 2019/2020 does not have a phone. Kids have phone, poor people have phone, heck, even beggars have phone so I don't think anyone will even buy the idea that she's doesn't have a phone.
The logical thing to do would have been to come with two phones-and then remit one to the guys.


It also irked me that the "bad guys" were perpetually smoking. This is like the Nigerian version of a mustache twirling, cat stroking Bond villain and it became really cheesy quite fast.


Acting wise, the movie had a lot Of solid acting . But it was also sprinkled with bad acting too.
Overacting was also an issue and I would blame the Director for this. The acting from the bad guys was so campy and on the nose.

Overall, I would say the movie movie had an interesting subject matter that it could have explore more deeply.
It's still a fun watch and I'm looking forward to the sequel.
5/10



At the 59.32 mark, when the Linda is meeting her sister at the motor park, there is an instrumental song that is playing. I've looked through the credit and it's not there. Is that even legal? Can you use someone's composition in a movie without crediting them?
Anyway, if you know the name of the song, please help me out.

I have seen arguments about individuals assuming that a high score during the test should mean they are better than those with lower scores. It doesnt matter whether ethinicity or politics is added to this view or not, this way of thinking is flawed.
As an academic with experience in teaching and conducting exams I can comfortably say that it doesn't matter if you score higher than a person during the test. It does however matter how you pass the overall process. For instance in an academic environment there are tests and then exams, practicals, field work and finally project thesis.
It is clearly stated on the Testmi website that your score doesn't automatically get you the job. There are so many factors which are taken into consideration and one integral factor is your ability to do the job and to prove so through out the whole process. Scoring 90% may allow you to attend the interview stages but it doesn't mean you will be successful during the interviews. And of course I expect that the interview stages is scored as well.
So I want to advice the fellow who keeps bragging about getting 90% in the test that it's not over yet. Please prepare as much as you can for the interview stage if you get called and leave the issue of sentiments outside this thread.

Thank you
No matter how you try to paint it, there is no denying that having 90% is a step in the right direction.
At least, you'll know that the probability of being invited to the interview stage is high.
I wish I had 90% joor

Which progressive country in the world practices quota system...What is this blatant lie?

Also, it's not the job of the government to provide employment but to make the market a level playing ground, when government hire more than required people in civil service, they are not providing employment because inevitably tax payers money are used to pay for redundant people.

That does not make sense, if not that we get revenue from oil maybe we would have realized the impact of this foolish practice.

It's also this stupid mentality that federal works are national cake that makes people feel entitled to jobs even though their scores is poor because they are from a particular region. Let it be merit based please
America has affirmative action which is similar to quota system

Note: This forum has turned USELESS for posting information with links. The minute you post links your account is banned automatically, and the post is deleted, so I cannot post the links to all this information.

Someone get the mods to stop acting like bushmen, and allow links to be posted on this forum, for proper dissemination and verification of information.


COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY (ctd.)

If you are a Yoruba man, and don't believe this about TALKING DRUMS, go to your village and ask the elders. They will even tell you more things you had no idea about.

''Niger-Congo languages are tonal in nature. Talking drums exploit the tonal aspect of Niger-Congo languages to convey very complicated messages. Talking drums can send messages 15 to 25 miles (40 km). Bulu, a Bantu language, can be drummed as well as spoken. In a Bulu village, each individual had a unique drum signature. A message could be sent to an individual by drumming his drum signature. It has been noted that a message can be sent 100 miles (160 km) from village to village within two hours or less using a talking drum.''

- wiki


Igbos used the ekwe for similar purposes, ''This is a cylindrical shaped drum, made out of wood (usually a tree trunk) and hollow inside. It has rectangular cavity slits and was used for communication over long distances. It can produce rhythms to connote anything from celebration to emergencies.''


That is why today in rural Igboland, the mobile phone is called ''ekwe nti' meaning ''the ekwe of the ear''.

Leave aside physical instruments, do you realise that precolonial Nigerians used TELEPATHY to communicate? This was a science for which one was trained to build thoughts and transfer them from their belly region to the belly of the recipient. Again, go and ask your elders in your village, and they will confirm this. This technology was known all over West Africa, and was used extensively hundreds of years ago.

A study of this African technology was done on the San people of southern Africa, foolishly termed the 'Bushmen' by western historians.

''...The African Bushmen communicate in a similar way. As anthropologist Bradford Keeney discovered, the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert believe that all living creatures are connected by a silver stream of energy that extends from one belly button to another. The Bushmen use these horizontal “lines” like telephone wires to send and receive telepathic messages.'' Keeney, Ropes to God, 42.


In Ropes to God: Experiencing the Bushman Spiritual Universe, Keeney includes a Bushman’s description of this type of telepathy:

''You cannot send a thought to another person without first being filled with heightened emotion. . . . In this state you mix your thought, message or directive with your intensified feeling and make the thought a pure feeling. It is concentrated in your belly where the intensity of your feeling escalates to a point where it can no longer be held. Then it is released along the line coming out of your belly and directed to another person’s belly. They immediately respond when you communicate in this way. It may seem like we send our thoughts, but we are actually sending our feelings. Not weak, arbitrary feelings, but intense, almost overwhelming feelings. . . . A thought, message or request is changed into a feeling. . . . The feeling is the carrier.''

CTD.
Lol.
grin
Telepathy indeed

Anywhere you're coming, once you get to Asaba, tel the driver to stop you at Okpanam road (If coming from Onitsha, that is after Summit junction, the if coming from Agbor, that is before summit junction).

Then alight from the bus and enter the okpanam road( if coming from Agbor, you alight and cross to the other side, but if from Onitsha, no need to cross, just alight and enter the okpanam road) you will see a big pillar across the road inscribed (Welcome to Okpanam)

Then board keke from the road and tell them you are going to state secretariat. The keke man will point it to you since it is along the road. It won't cost more than #100.

Once in, you can ask people there, sure you will see your mates there.

Wishing us all well. I'm writing from home.

CuteMercury:
Wait a minute, why is it that witchcraft and witches in the Western world tends to be more sexy and beautiful than thier African counterpart.

Do you all think the culture, upbringing and way of life of the whites affected both their spiritual side?

I mean you will never see a witch in Europe or America taking a guy's destiny to the coven or causing deaths to people, they are always cool, romantic, sexy and all that.

But In Africa and NIGERIA, the reverse is the case. Killings and destruction is their hobby.

I have always have this fantasy of dating a witch since the days of the seeker.

I think the mother confessor in seeker is the actress and woman I've ever fell in love with in my life.

I actually fell in love with her and i mean real love, it was crazy mehh and this is why the legend of the seeker will always remain in my heart.

From there on i started getting this obsession with dating witches and this is why the Witch series are always my best.

But in Africa and NIGERIA that's like a suicide mission, when it comes to dating a real witch.

I hope one day i can see a real white female witch like the mother confessor in seeker to date.

I think white witches are one of the kindest Women on earth.
The witches in Salem are kinda like Nigerian witches
