Thanks, will surely look them up. Though I'm inclined to ask your experience with using this company.

Eyop: That's why i sent you that link so you can go through comments from those that has patronised her

Yes, I understand quite good. Upon perusing the link you sent, I deduced that Justi4jesu is some sort of middlewoman who places orders on behalf of people for a commission. I just need to know different shipping companies others have used in the past or still using to forward goods down here to Nigeria from the US. Thanks anyway.

Eyop: Contact Justi4jesu: https://www.nairaland.com/1788753/d-pre-order-goods-us-dubai/45#25759080

Thanks. Will do. But I still need other to share an experience or two.

I intend to buy stuffs from ebay, Amazon et al and that's where I need a forwarding company that provides a US address to receive the goods and forward them to Nigeria at a given rate. Although I use Cargoatlantic presently and their services has been nothing short of impressive, however, I'd like to try out a few other options so as to make a comparism.
My preference will be likely tilted towards one with a competitive shipping rate per pound, reliability, great and responsive customer service, ship out days, etc.
Any suggestions will be appreciated but I prefer if the suggested company has been tested and trusted.

The give away in this lazy story is that the journalist, either intentionally or otherwise, failed to examine and report if the alleged NASA drone has any surveillance specs. I'm not an expert in this field and I won't pretend to be but a lay man with a college degree should know that a drone flown for spying should at least have some sort of camera, laser, sensors and any form of relay system with spying features.
Besides, a NASA drone should look something more James Bondish. Lol. Okay, maybe not, but not like a 'baby's Day Out' thing.

okoegualek: Yes

I think I need to see you when u get to camp. Lemme have ur contact

okoegualek: Does n1 av idea of hw much dey pay corper doctors in taraba state

Please are you a doctor posted to taraba?

okoegualek: me still dey road oooo,to continue 2mao,dis jalingo camp too far self from Benin city;abeg who know road mk e diret me frm jos,so i can cotinue 2mao

You took the longest route if you are indeed coming from Benin. You should have taken a direct bus/car to Gboko in Benue state. From there you will get another bus straight up to Jalingo. Should take about 13 hours from Benin through that route.

zub: that makes the 2 of us. Was also posted to Taraba. Still havnt recovered from it.

Ehya. Well I am not really looking forward to it either but God is in control. Whatever I'm gonna have helluva fun.

WTF Taraba

opeyemmmy: I'm very sure you don't need any "To Whom" again. But, for the said letter, I can't categorically tell you what obtains.

Meanwhile, below pictures may be of use... while we await heads up from Winnie, Dimples and co.

thanks man. You're a fuckingg life saver

opeyemmmy: Bro, I want to believe you are set '11... if that's correct, you are good to go as you need not worry yourself with any "To Whom".

As for letter of introduction; this will be required for the collection of your call up letter. It must be duly signed by PAR (as curled from my Dept FB page) or Deputy Reg Exams & Records.

Thanks man. So I should just go to exams and records to get the introduction letter with my id card.

Good morning everyone. Pls winnie, is 'to whom' also known as 'statement of result'? And which one is introduction letter and how/where do I get that. Between, I have my statement of result. Done clearance more than a year ago.

Pls what is/are required to collect call up letters. #OAU

Join them? Compromising your principles for some less than deserving females? There are better ways around it surely.

Ihedinobi: Bro, there is nothing, absolutely nothing relative or subjective about term "respect". If you respect someone, anyone at all, you defer to them. You do not ride roughshod over them. Simple.

We're not so confused as that, surely!

Was about to reply but someone already beat me to it.

[quote author=Graham123]And I don't believe such thing as too nice. The nicer the better, the more I appreciate you as a person. The society has been wired to take 'too nice' people for granted.

Ihedinobi: After reading that story, bro, I know that I dedicated this thread to the right people.

If we were going to take this systematically, I would ask you what you consider as being too nice. Is it possible to be too nice, really? What is nice enough? Love is silly sometimes, yes. That's when the love-games are rolled out. The games are always: "how much do I mean to you?" The answer always involves something a bit silly.

I'm so sorry about your relationship. You had a tough one. She should have stayed.

Thank God you already are an extrovert. I think this is where being extroverted has the advantage.

Lol. I don't actually consider myself as an extrovert. More in between but leaning more to the introverted life but I love having fun.
About your question. Well it isn't that clear cut or a black or white matter. There're some gray areas. Nice too is relative depending on what the other person perceives as nice. But in my opinion a nice guy is someone who treats his lady right, quick to acknowledge and say sorry if he's wrong cos nobody's perfect, caring, faithful, truthful, loyal, and independent.

Uyi Iredia: @ Graham: Noted. You have highlighted the problem of moral relativity evdent in my comment. Let's try: A nice guy doesn't physically or emotionally abuse or use ladies for selfish reasons.

Perfect

But seriously I hate nairaland smileys. They look like extra terrestrials. Just to cool it down. I think it is time we defined effectively and in clear terms what a nice guy is. Until we do, then it's all daggers and spears. But I think ihedinobi gave a near impeccable description in a thread somewhere. Wimps, bads and nice.
@Caracta I'm not a nairaland nice guy o and I don't aspire to be. Ihedinobi just drew me out with his constructive argument on an interesting topic.

To each his/her own. If any lady wants the bad then may God help her. But from Ihedinobi's point of view, why do ladies exhaust their life and expend all the good things they have to offer to the bad guys only to want to settle down with nice guys for marriage. No man wants a used lady, especially not the nice ones who have stood by an exemplary principle all their lives.

Uyi Iredia: A nice guy is someone who treats ladies with respect within the confines of his conscience.

I totally disagree with this. Some guys abuse ladies and it takes no beating on their conscience. In addition, respect is a relative and subjective term, some guys/ ladies definition of it is sickening.

I think most of the differing opinions here have greatly been misconstrued. A lot of hurt in the past or present tend to rear up, spark emotions and cloud thoughts which consequently render all our judgement a bit bias or out rightly off the mark. Let's all have some perspective.
Being too nice to the point of being silly is the perfect recipe for disaster in any relationship. However, love itself can be silly a times. Unless you have been in these shoes, then we should refrain from passing judgement.
In retrospect, my case was an eye opener. I am a fun-loving guy, sometimes wild. Never afraid to try out something new however dangerous it may seem. On the surface, people have a somewhat wrong perception of me, often judging by the care free nature of mine. Underneath however, I have a good heart, very retrospective and with a damning conscience. I once dated a lady I didn't love for almost 2 years just cause I couldn't bear to break her heart. During that period, I never cheated and I cared for her in a way only few people can match. I took my time until the relationship wore out naturally. That one was good but the circumstances which led to it in the first place is best to be forgotten.
My recent break up had a different twist to it. We started with a bang. One and a half years in and I started having career problems that just wouldn't leave. At some point, I lost my self esteem and confidence. I became reclusive, withdrawn from people and the fun left me. Became too jealous as a result of my low confidence and would pick on the smallest thing. My ex took all in until a point I guess. But she is the first person I ever took home to meet my mom after of course meeting her family. She did all the perfect things which I still even appreciate and grateful for today. We will talk sometimes about why we do quarrel. We often came to the conclusion that my situation is the cause and I will get back to my grind when it blows over. I cared soooo much, told her the best things and made her feel good about herself. She knows nobody will ever love her like I did and I guess she was afraid she won't meet someone like me again. Along the way, what I saw in her eyes was something out of pity more than love. Her mind wasn't really in it anymore. We had a big quarrel and we agreed to break it off with minimal fuss so we could still be friends. I initially objected but I later agreed because of she has done for me in past and the fact that I was majorly to blame sort of. However I found out she is already dating a guy I know as her friend and I had complained about when we were dating. That riled me up, got me thinking the shit has been on for sometime. I was extremely hurt, fact is it's the worst thing I have ever felt in my life. This was two weeks ago. I'm feeling a damn lot better now tho. Things are shaping up and I'm gradually get back my old self. I know somehow my insecurity got to her but she knows my situation caused it. And if the love was real, she won't have eyes for someone else. Real love I believe is patient, understanding and will always prevail. I know some people will give me the stick for some of my actions but you haven't been in those shoes. It's better not to criticize her too cause you havent been in hers either. I'm surprising myself with how quickly I'm moving on although I wish I had done some things better.

This actually go me laughing my butt out. But I will comment in depth when my battery is strong enough to bear the assault. Between I like your style of writing Ihedinobi.

2s£xy:
I guess you made it seem like she is irreplaceable. Never give that notion! Never make it seem like she is the only thing in your life.

Absolutely.

@ihedinobi Rightly said.

Ngokafor: Awww!! ...dont worry,you'll certainly meet a lady who will appreciate your good nature and would almost kill to have you in her life..trust me.

Thanks, I'm too sure I will. I'm extremely good-looking and ladies love me for fun. Just that I'm a nice guy too. Opposing qualities.

Marriage for me is a thing I dread considering the heartbreak I felt/feeling now. It's my first and there won't be a second. Just for clarity, the bad boy route isn't an option for me. I'm a bit traditional and old-fashioned, I still believe in the quaint love that is endangered in this age. My mom has impressed upon my brothers and I the importance of keeping a family together no matter what. However, life is full of surprises. We can sometimes be dealt some bad cards without caution. My one and, hopefully, only experience has taught me never to expect too much from people regardless of promises made or sworn. I just hope I have learned. Although my tendency towards having a deep connection with a partner can replicate another heartbreak but I want to believe the personal problems I had led to a loss of believe in myself which of course made me the king of wimps. That's unattractive to a lady no doubt. But isn't real love understanding, patient and strong enough to hold on or is that just a myth?

This is an intelligent thread, a breath of fresh air from the lazy threads that has come to characterize Nairaland lately.
Everybody has made some valid points, most borne of experience and applicable to an extent depending on who your partner. However, I'm inclined to lean more to Ihedinobi's perspective - his description of a 'nice guy' is the best option to push you far in relationship. My problem with this is it doesn't always work unless you have a switch you can turn at will to fine tune your emotions as situations demand. Sometimes, you meet someone who says/does the right thing and you let your 'nice guy' guard down and you unconsciously slip into the wimp zone. Other circumstances may arise, which of course one may not have foreseen, that can turn you to a wimp. An example is my experience dating a very good lady for 2 years 7 months. Initially, I was a nice guy but one year in and I started having some personal career problems; I lost my confidence, self-esteem and thus became clingy and insanely jealous. She left me few months ago to date a guy I have been complaining about when we were together.
I never prepared from such career downturn which led to my loss of confidence. So I hope you can see not everything is white or black.

Please, I will appreciate softcopies of poster/flier designs for parties. Only designs with heavy, colorful and irresistible graphics. I want to compare and pick designs of the highest quality for an important project.

Hello house, please I have misplaced my ID card a long time ago and I understand it will be needed for registration. I want to know what options I have. I have a 'to whom letter' issued by my department with a stamp on it. Please people will that suffice?

None deserves to be in the Top 2000. An average HIGH school science lab in Japan, Israel, Denmark etc is far more equipped than that of our best university, say OAU or UI. How many biological science base graduates in this country have seen an electron microscope never mind used one? Most of our graduates can't even write and speak passable English - a language we are being taught in. How many medical students have seen an MRI scanner? How many Nigerian-trained Economists have published a renowned and compelling theory perculiar to our socio-economic ecosystem or the world market at large?
Even the arts where we often attempt to breed icons in the past have been eerily quiet for decades. No more Soyinkas and Achebes. Our educational system is in shabbles. Some people will criticise me for being unpatriotic but I'd rather not be a blind, delusional chauvinist. Moreover, our leaders will continue their indifferent posture if we continue to suffer in the guise of patriotism instead of raising a voice and admitting the obvious.
