Everything and everyone has a limit. It is unfortunate that we try so hard to push to and past the limit. It is like testing someone or something’s patience.

A loyal person should never be considered "non existent" therefore they have the right to say no. Loyalty has to be a two way street. It is like clapping with both hands... You wont make any sound with only one hand. Loyalty doesn’t mean to do away with any kind of behavior.

The only time to allow yourself to push to the limit so hard is when you are telling yourself not to give up just yet because there is something good ahead. You are on an incredible journey. It is not just about reaching the top of the peak. It's about enjoying the growth as you climb. We live in a world where we don't know what might happen today or tomorrow but we all know what we want to achieve in our life. All obstacles you face are designed to prepare you and train you,so don't give up on your destiny.

A cat is friendly and loyal. But pushed to the wall, will pounce back with disastrous consequences. Loyalty is not weakness. We should never push people to the limit where they no longer care about any consequences. Loyalty costs terminations, professionalism also costs the same

Sometimes, people set limit for a role. A line that, if crossed, meant he/she needed to move on. No defined rules on it, you set it - ethics, strategic direction, whether its “fun” still or not, etc. No one deserves to be cheated on, ignored or neglected. The limits are like the highway code if we don't respect it, the consequences will be awful.

If loyalty is a bridge between two minds and each side maintains the bridge, that connection will forever remain - even in death - if one side passes the other will have prepared for success beyond themselves. Loyalty isn't about the "me" - it's about Loyalty.

There’s a point an extremely patient person can take and when being overly stretched and trust me, you don’t want to see the other side. Situations and circumstances determines our Limits and Loyalty. Sometimes it's only Honor that keeps some people around. If that honor isn't reciprocated, it's your own damn fault if they leave you.

Loyalty lasts until you find out what they mean to others. Everyone has limitations...even you!

Panel beaters may need this on FP

Manchester United are looking bringing in Odion Ighalo on loan from Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua.

Former Watford forward Ighalo is with Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua and has two years left on his contract. The Nigeria international Ighalo scored 17 goals in 55 Premier League appearances for the Hornets before securing a move to Chinese League One in 2017.

Speaking ahead of an FA Cup tie at Tranmere, Solskjaer insisted the club was still working on reinforcements in a "difficult" market.

"It's not going to be a quick fix. And it's not going to be like eight players in or 10 players in one transfer window," he said.

"We've had one proper transfer window in the summer because the Januarys are difficult, but we are trying to do something now."

Marcus Rashford's injury has certainly left Manchester United even lighter up front following Romelu Lukaku's departure in the summer.

The club were confident of signing Erling Haaland from Red Bull Salzburg this month, but he chose Borussia Dortmund instead, going on to score a 20-minute hat-trick on his debut for the German side.

United have considered various short-term solutions, including Edinson Cavani, Dries Mertens and Mario Mandzukic, but they are all 32 or over and United might be better off pursuing Lyon's Moussa Dembele.

"United do need experience and they know that, but the trouble with players like Cavani is that they are maybe too experienced, in terms of their age," says Sky Sports News' James Cooper.

Dembele, who turns 24 in July, has experience of playing in England and Scotland with Fulham and Celtic respectively. He has fired 36 goals in 76 appearances for Lyon since moving to the club in 2018, and figures highly on Manchester United's long-term wishlist.

"I think there is a realisation that they can't get someone in for the short-term because there aren't many suitable options out there," says Cooper.

"But what they might try to do, rather than look for that short-term fix, is to try and bring one of their world-class targets for the summer forward to January and that's why we have seen them sending scouts to watch Dembele.

"What the Burnley game proved is that without Rashford, you haven't got the players there who can take the two or three big chances that come up per game. Mason Greenwood is too young to play in every game, and Anthony Martial is not scoring enough to lead the attack.

"They need someone more ruthless who can slot in, but the difficulty is that every club in the world now knows they are desperate.

"Ole has been very noble about making sacrifices and getting rid of (Romelu) Lukaku in the summer, but in hindsight he knows he should have got another body in there. Dembele could now be that man but it won't be easy to get him."

Release notes: Nigerian English

My English-speaking is rooted in a Nigerian experience and not in a British or American or Australian one. I have taken ownership of English.

This is how acclaimed Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie describes her relationship with English, the language which she uses in her writing, and which millions of her fellow Nigerians use in their daily communication. By taking ownership of English and using it as their own medium of expression, Nigerians have made, and are continuing to make, a unique and distinctive contribution to English as a global language. We highlight their contributions in this month’s update of the Oxford English Dictionary, as a number of Nigerian English words make it into the dictionary for the first time.

The majority of these new additions are either borrowings from Nigerian languages, or unique Nigerian coinages that have only begun to be used in English in the second half of the twentieth century, mostly in the 1970s and 1980s.

One particularly interesting set of such loanwords and coinages has to do with Nigerian street food. The word buka, borrowed from Hausa and Yoruba and first attested in 1972, refers to a roadside restaurant or street stall that sells local fare at low prices. Another term for such eating places first evidenced in 1980 is bukateria, which adds to buka the –teria ending from the word cafeteria. An even more creative synonym is mama put, from 1979, which comes from the way that customers usually order food in a buka: they say ‘Mama, put…’ to the woman running the stall, and indicate the dish they want. The word later became a generic name for the female food vendors themselves—Nobel Prize-winning Nigerian playwright Wole Soyinka notably includes a Mama Put character in one of his works.

The informal transport systems that emerged in Nigeria’s huge, densely populated cities have also necessitated lexical invention. Danfo, a borrowing from Yoruba whose earliest use in written English is dated 1973, denotes those yellow minibuses whizzing paying passengers through the busy streets of Lagos, the country’s largest city. Okada, on the other hand, is first attested twenty years later, and is the term for a motorcycle that passengers can use as a taxi service. It is a reference to Okada Air, an airline that operated in Nigeria from 1983 to 1997, and its reputation as a fast yet potentially dangerous form of transport, just like the motorcycle taxi.

A few of the Nigerian words in this update were created by shortening existing English words. One example is the adjective guber (earliest quotation dated 1989), which is short for ‘gubernatorial’—so Nigerians, for instance, would call a person running for governor a ‘guber candidate’. Another frequently used clipping with a longer history in English is agric. It was originally used in American English around 1812 as a graphic abbreviation for the adjective agricultural, but is now used chiefly in this sense in West Africa. In the early 1990s, agric began to be used in Nigeria to designate improved or genetically modified varieties of crops or breeds of livestock, especially a type of commercially reared chicken that is frequently contrasted with ‘native’ (i.e. traditionally reared) chicken. Two decades later, Nigerian students also started to use the word as a noun meaning agricultural science as an academic subject or course.

Also originating in the 19th century is K-leg, first attested in 1842 in British English, but now used mostly in Nigerian English. It is another term for the condition of knock knees, as well as a depreciative name for a person affected with this condition, whose inward-turning knees often resemble the shape of the letter K. It is of such widespread use in Nigeria that by the early 1980s, it had acquired a figurative meaning—a K-leg can now also be any sort of problem, flaw, setback, or obstacle.

The term ember months was first used in an American publication in 1898 to signify the final four months of the calendar year. Almost a century later, this expression was taken up again in Nigeria, where the months from September to December are usually considered together as a period of heightened or intense activity.

The oldest of our new additions that are originally from Nigeria is next tomorrow, which is the Nigerian way of saying ‘the day after tomorrow’. It was first used in written English as a noun in 1953, and as an adverb in 1964. The youngest of the words in this batch is Kannywood, first used in 2002, which is the name for the Hausa-language film industry based in the city of Kano. It is a play on Hollywood, following the model of Nollywood, the more general term for the Nigerian film industry that was added to the OED in 2018.

Nigerian Pidgin is another rich source of new words for Nigerian English. Sef, first evidenced in Nigerian author Ben Okri’s novel Flowers and Shadows, published in 1980, is an adverb borrowed from Pidgin, which itself could have been an adverbial use of either the English adjective safe or the pronoun self. It is an emphatic marker added to the end of statements or rhetorical questions, often to express irritation or impatience, as in this quotation from Adichie’s 2013 novel Americanah:

‘He could have given you reduced rent in one of his properties, even a free flat sef.’

Also coming from pidgin contexts is the verb chop, which is a common colloquial word in Ghana and Nigeria meaning ‘to eat’. However, beginning in the 1970s, chop also developed the sense of acquiring money quickly and easily, and often dishonestly. The negative sense of misappropriating, extorting, or embezzling funds is also in the earlier reduplicative noun chop-chop (earliest quotation dated 1966), which refers to bribery and corruption in public life. This likening of stealing money to actually devouring it is also reflected in the even earlier synonymous phrase[b] to eat money[/b] (1960), as in the following quotation from Nigeria’s News Chronicle in 2016:

‘Our roads were not done. By the end of this year, you will know who ate the money of these roads.’

A few other expressions in this update would require some explanation for non-Nigerians: a barbing salon (earliest quotation dated 1979) is a barber’s shop; a gist (1990) is a rumour, and to gist (1992) is to gossip; when a woman is said to have put to bed (1973), it means that she has given birth; something described as qualitative (1976) is excellent or of high quality.

By focusing on contemporary language in this update, and adding words and phrases that form part of the everyday vocabulary of today’s Nigerians, we hope to give a flavour of English-speaking which, as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie put it, is rooted in a Nigerian experience.

Supporters of Emeka Ihedioha, former governor of Imo, flooded the streets of Owerri, the state capital, on Sunday, demanding a reversal of the supreme court judgement which ordered his sack.

The apex court had on Tuesday ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to return Hope Uzodinma, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as winner of the March election.

Uzodinma placed a distant fourth in the results announced by INEC.

The aggrieved protesters wielded placards with inscriptions such as: “Ihedioha We Know’; “Democracy Has Been Murdered”; “We Want Him Back”, among others.

Most of them dressed in black attire. See pictures below

The EFCC Ibadan zonal office, at the weekend, arrested 89 suspected internet fraudsters at the popular Club 360 located on the Akala Expressway, Oluyole Extension in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

In preparation for the late night operation, officers of the commission had carried out series of discreet surveillance on the nature of activities going on in the nightclub which, according to intelligence, was notorious for harboring suspected internet fraudsters.

The raid also led to the confiscation of scores of vehicles, laptops, sophisticated phones and other items.
The suspects are undergoing further interrogation.

Lalasticlala, See the kind of girl i'm looking for. In case you see one here on the forum.

While writing a date on any document in the upcoming year 2020, please write it in its full format,

e.g. 31/01/2020 and not as 31/01/20, 'cos anyone can change it to 31/01/2000 or 31/01/2019 or in between any year.

This can render the document invalid.

So be cautious about this.

Don't write and also don't accept it in any document.

This problem will persist only during the year 2020.

Agree?

Let me Explain the Air Peace case for you in simpler sentences

Understanding the Allen Onyema, Air Peace & the indictment saga: Personal breakdown.

¹. Nigeria —> Country C
². Nigeria —> USA —> Country C

The Allen saga: what went down?

Allen wanted to move his money from Nigeria to Country C. But couldn't for reasons known to him do it directly

So he decides to follow path 2

Now there is a problem: for the money to go this route:

Nigeria —> USA —> Country C

There has to be a CONCRETE LEGIT REASON else it would be tagged money laundering.

Onyema thought of this & came up with the following.

- Sets up sham US company: Springfield Aviation LLC

- Springfield raises invoices for purchase of airplanes

- Springfield sends invoice to Nigerian Banks

- Nigerian banks prepare Letter of credit & send back to LLC

- Springfield prepares documents— bill of lading & likes

- LOC & docs gets submitted to US banks which then credits Springfield acc

- Money has entered the US legitimately, ready to be sent to Country C

- Money gets to country C & instead of buying the plane, nothing happens

- This is were issue of bank fraud/fake documents sets in

To the holier-than-thou Nigerians

Most of your elites ran similar scam in 2016. They defraud CBN using form A & M.

Sanusi Lamido addressed this on @thecableng 25th/Aug/2016

The process between that & this is almost same with difference been the intent: Roundtripping -VS- laundering

Thus my arrival to the conclusion

Let me explain the Allen Onyema Indictment to you in two simple sentences.

Allen Onyema never defrauded American citizens nor stole anyone's money. The money is his (Technically)

However the document & purpose for which the money was moved around is false.

Being labelled as overqualified for a job sounds really sad, as the candidate seems to have all the right skill set and knowledge base, yet company doesn't want to hire them. Certainly a difficult position to be in while assuring a potential employer of your authenticity. And this seems to be the new tag line for hiring companies. Here on this content, I will list what the sincere cause could be and further explain what "I" think is the way out

Now, what does it mean to be “OVERQUALIFIED”

According to influential career consultant, Kirsty Bonner, It could be defined for a variety of reasons which could possibly be that:


1. Your qualifications are a threat to existing management.

2. Employer thinks you won’t be willing to perform menial tasks.

3. You are too old in their eyes.

4. It is believed you may get bored in the role.

5. Company is worried it can’t meet your salary expectations.

6. You didn’t perform well in the interview, but they don’t want to tell you that.

7. They don’t see you as a good cultural fit.

8. Employer thinks you are taking the job to bridge a gap, and won’t hang around for long.

9. You are genuinely too qualified for a specific role.

In her words, “Overqualified” is a sad euphemism used by too many employers. But “Underqualified” is also a reality.

It is so irritating that companies rather than ask questions, would rather throw CV’s in the bin. Most likely Losing the best candidates.

But to be fair, In a handful of cases, Someone who is overqualified for a job but recruited never sticks on the job for long. Such an employee is never sincere in his duty. Organisation can therefore not take advantage of his qualifications and experience. Having said that, it is also a reality that in this age of recession and unemployment, candidates rush for any opening irrespective whether it is commensurate with their qualifications. We have all seen PhDs and Post graduates taking up a clerk's job. I have also seen "overqualified" people accepting and productively doing very junior roles.

The overqualified label is issued way too many times to job seekers. Oftentimes, it is given based on employers' assumptions on what might happen and not based on facts. Each individual has his or her unique situation and circumstances.
