priscillawill:
that means my grandfather can contest too

if he's got what it takes, I doubt that anyway

All those 'GEJ till...' crew have obviously been promised something by the politicians, I still can't fathom why a Nigerian in his right senses will still be hopeful about this present government

Cooluche:
Pls Google63 I want to know, did you get above 50 percent. A friend of mine took the online aptitude test but got only 43%. So I want to know if she still has a chance to be called for interview, thanks.

I scored 83

If this man's story is true, the mistake he made was sleeping in the house that night.

Got this message last night.

A report by The Citizen quotes Chief
Olusegun Obasanjo has predicted a
Buhari win in the Presidential election
scheduled to hold on March 28, 2015.
He also simultaneously dismissed the
worries of annulment after the 1993 event
under the Babangida administration.
He said this in Abeokuta, Ogun state
where he reassured the Concerned
Citizens of Nigeria group that there will
never be a repeat of 1993 after an
election.
The group itself visited the former
president with supplications: “We have
come to express our deep concern over
series of dangerous political
miscalculations currently going on under
Jonathan administration.
“We are afraid that crisis is seriously
looming and it is like another June 12
crisis is on the way and it may be very
tragic for the country. We want you to as
a matter of urgency intervene into the
matter before it is too late sir.”
Obasanjo, reassuring them said: “You
need not to worry about anything. There
can never be any June 12 annulment
again. Buhari is not Abiola, he is a trained
and highly intelligent soldier.
“Oyegun is not Anenih, Osinbajo is not
Kingibe. Jega is not Nwosu, Jonathan is
not IBB and this time around, Obasanjo
will not support any interim government.
“Obasanjo will rather support a free, fair
and credible election.”

Thank God for their spared lives

Just did mine. Scored 83

As the Nigerian economy continues to suffer due to the fall in the value of Naira, there are rumors of mass retrenchment in many different sectors, but most notably in the banking sector. Our news site recently curated a news; Nigerian Banks to Begin Massive Sacking of Workers. This is a cause of concern for many families whose source of livelihood are attached to bankers. Though this development may be inescapable, its effect can be mitigated.

Nigerian bankers are pretty well trained once they get the job and are exposed to many key business skills that they can utilize in all areas of the economy. Therefore the average banker need not be overwhelmed with the anxiety of a possible sack, rather it should be seen as an opportunity for career transition.

Here are our suggestions on what you should do to prepare yourself if you find yourself on the wrong end of the axle.

1. Prepare your CV

It’s time to dust your credentials and update your CV. Include the most recent experience and outstanding results you’ve recorded on the banking job. Make sure the CV is in line with current day CV writing techniques and when writing your CV, avoid the things that make most CVs end up in the dustbin.

2. Identify your cross over skills

Identify the skills you can easily apply in other areas. Your banking job must have improved your sales and marketing skills, as well as administrative skills. Include them in your CV and find opportunities where those skills are needed. Many companies need highly experienced administrative and sales officers. Your banking job has already made you a candidate of preference for such jobs.

3. Take all career development courses on offer

It’s time to improve your skills. You may need extra certification for a smooth career transition and most importantly to also get updated about recent developments in areas of prospect. By doing this, you will be putting yourself ahead of several others who may also find themselves in your shoes.

4. Treat your customers really well as they will be part of your network

One of the benefits banking job offers is the opportunity it presents for you to meet new people and network. The bank is a place you can really meet business owners and other prospective employers. If you know how to network well, then you can use it to your best advantage in this era of sack.

The social media is also a place you can harness for job networking. Jobs come easily these days through the social media. You may need to find out how you can use the social media to find your next career move.

5. Save some money

Begin to reduce your personal expenses and save more for the rainy day. This would help to withstand the shock of a possible sack as you’ll still have some cash to spend for some couple of weeks before you get another offer. If you have a substantial amount of money saved, you may consider starting your own business.

FrankC3:
I said it when Fayose released his newspaper advertorial and the eventual PDP dissociation of herself from that publication that we should watch the coming days. Fayose is there to energise a critical section of PDP followership that has been sidelined by GEJ brand of calm politics. With that advert, Fayose announced his arrival on the scene to lead that critical segment. PDP dissociation from the advert was like giving Fayose a roaming role on the field of play.

For those who are wise, this election is not just between PDP and APC or GEJ and Buhari, it is also between AKPD media headed by the ever brutal and dangerous David Axerold (if I get the name right) and local content team of PDP headed by Tony Aninih. AKPD has won unbelievable victories all over the world and believed themselves to be the best, PDP team is about to team them some humility. It will enliven the discussion of real African and local ingenuity when it comes to political strategy.

PDP is going to come out of this looking better. Over the last few days, the corruption chant is becoming monotonous to the ear of the populace, Buhari and APC are being increasingly on the defensive, Buhari's health is now a topic of discussion, APC is being presented as a party built on lies, APC leaders are being tackled even from their home base by those who believe that they have betrayed age long principles of regional autonomy, new alliances are being built that further solidifies GEJ position among others. All these are happening while GEJ has gone on project commissioning spree, reinforcing the idea that APC is built on lies having told Nigerians that GEJ has done nothing. Now, Fayose is a big factor, a single powerful source of frustration for the APC and her followers, and somehow, PDP has creatively told the world that they don't support Fayose's methods thereby presenting PDP as a group that does not play dirty. OBJ's tearing of his membership card is also not doing APC any good especially when placed side by side with Tinubu's invitation for him to be their navigator. On the social media, it is not looking better for them, with the likes of Barcanista, a man I respect for his clear and logical presentation of his position, cross carpeted with the message that those around GMB are fraudsters and non democrats. In fact, APC NL team were so foo.lish to start attacking the young man, fuelling the impression among the undecided that they are a violent lot, especially when one remembers that Barcanista was with PDP team before crossing over to APC in the first place without attracting any insult from the PDP team.

The next few days will be more interesting. One thing that any smart fellow will not deny is that APC campaign is in disarray, their strategy is presently uncoordinated, they are fast losing the undecided and their war chest seem terribly depleted. If I am to make a judgement, I will say that based on these, the margin of PDP victory is getting wider. GEJ will hand over power in 2019 and would have tamed all known political beasts of the country with a single blow. Quote me later, if this trend continues, by 2025, GEJ will be considered by many as the father of modern Nigeria.

Like I said in a post yesterday, the only ladies that fall victim of this reasons (especially points 1- 4) stated above, are ladies that lack character and purpose, who don't have a self-designed blueprint for their life.

You opened an account yesterday, and you just want to be noticed by force

So you want to be a gentleman but don’t know where to
start. Being a gentleman isn’t a personality quirk. It’s not
something you turn on and off like a switch. It’s a
lifestyle. Although it’s a reputation that’s hit the
endangered species list, like my Ghostbusters sweatshirt,
I’m hopeful it will make a comeback.
Being a gentleman revolves around one word: respect.
It’s respect for yourself, those you care about, and those
you want to care about.
Here are 12 timeless tips on how to be a gentleman
that will enhance your life, both personally and
professionally:
1. Define Your Personal Style
When I hear “gentleman” I think suit, tie, polished shoes…
and stuffy. Seriously, I just fell asleep thinking about it.
Luckily, the definition has evolved and isn’t attached to a
certain look anymore – it’s all about attitude and how you
carry yourself. Choose a personal style that reflects your
personality and lifestyle. Don’t buy clothes you think you
should , otherwise you may as well wear a sandwich board
that says I have no idea who I am!
2. Keep Your Hygiene in Check
Put effort into your appearance. Keep yourself clean,
showered, and groomed. Women do enjoy scruffy, but
controlled scruffy – you don’t want your date asking where
you hid your cardboard sign and paper cup.
In other words: don’t smell. And perhaps reserve the
gnarly Davy Jones beard for the NHL playoffs.
3. Be a Grown-up
It’s now commonplace for potential employers to check out
your social media profiles. You’ll also be hard-pressed to
find a woman who won’t do the same before dating you.
Even if the pictures are from years ago and you’ve since
cleaned up your act, they’re not going to see “now” you.
They’re going to see “then” you, a.k.a. K-Fed hat and beer
bong.
While you’re at it, set up a grown-up e-mail address. The
sounds-dirty-but-isn’t e-mail account you’ve had since high
school is the farthest thing from gentlemanly. Ever.
4. Keep Language PG-13
As someone who’s an unintentional potty mouth, I was
alarmed to find out how many people are offended by
swearing. I now do my best to keep the f-bombs at a
minimum.
It’s obviously a huge no-no in professional settings, but
trust me, when you constantly swear in your personal life, it
becomes increasingly difficult to reel in the habit at work.
Consider this a top priority if you want to be a gentleman.
Not only will expanding your vocabulary make you a better
communicator, you’ll impress others across the board with
your intelligence and professionalism.
5. Connect With People
Say hello as you’re walking past a stranger. Let someone
go in front of you in the grocery line. Make eye contact.
Be approachable. It’s one of the best ways to open
yourself up to new people, experiences, and professional
connections.
To be a gentleman while you’re out, always remember it’s all
about them . Be a good listener. Ask questions. Take note
of what’s important to them, and they’ll take note of you.
6. Find Your Purpose
Beyond a nice home and financial security, what do you
want? What are you passionate about? What mark do you
want to make? Define what you live for. Not only will you
feel more fulfilled, it’ll lead to so much depth and
substance your head will spin. Everything will feel that
much brighter.
Don’t take my word for it: be a gentleman and find out
for yourself.
7. Be Clear About What You Want
Not making a decision is a decision in itself, and it’s not a
good one! If you want the respect of others, know what
you want and what you don’t, and be clear about it.
Knowing how to say no is one of the most well-respected
things you can do for yourself.
You don’t want to be a wishy-washy person who constantly
flakes on those you care about because you over-commit,
and you certainly don’t want to be the guy with no opinion
or backbone.
8. Hold the Door Open
Holding the door open for people is a gentleman’s calling
card. It’s one of the most subtle yet powerful ways to
show your consideration for others.
Game. Set. Match.
9. Keep Your Promises
A big part of being a gentleman is respecting others’ time
and meaning what you say. If you say you’re going to meet
someone at a specific time, don’t be late. When you tell
someone you’re going to help them with something, help them.
When you promise you’ll have a project done by a certain
date, meet your deadline.
Not only will this build trust with those you care about, it
will also help build self-trust, a crucial-yet-underrated form
of trust when you’re a gentleman.
10. Return the Favor
It’s all about the little things, both at work and at home.
If a co-worker helped you setup a killer presentation, help
them with their annual report. If your girlfriend picked up
groceries, carry them in for her. Always make sure you’re
helping enhance the lives of those you care about.
11. Pick Up After Yourself
Keeping a tidy office, home, and car will leave a good
impression on anyone you meet. It shows you take yourself
seriously, and take pride in what you’ve worked hard for.
Fast forward ten years to when you’re living with your
future wifey: if you build the habit now, you’ll be one of
the few who aren’t nagged about leaving their socks on the
floor! Win/win.
12. Be You
Nobody’s looking to hire or date a Ken doll. Our
professional and personal lives are now fused together
thanks to technology, so drop all that compartmentalizing
and be authentic 24/7. Let your guard down and stop
trying to look so glossy. Not to sound all hippy, but just
be.
What’s ironic about the art of being yourself is what makes
you unique is usually what makes you self-conscious. The
flaws you find irritating are appealing and endearing to
everyone else – they’re what set you apart and make you
memorable. Would you rather be memorable or a cardboard
cutout? That’s what I thought.
Being at ease with who you are is the sign of a true
gentleman. Gentlemen don’t lie or mislead – they’re as
comfortable with themselves as they want you to be. Being
a gentleman never goes out of style – put these tips into
practice and you’ll be well on your way to gentleman status
