No 3 is false, how will people know about your service if you don't advertise? Do you know how much Samsung spends on advertising every year? It is only in Nigeria that small businesses don't see the value of advertising

The OP said "going big" on advertising should be a NO for "new" businesses.

However, it's just a piece of advice from a concerned fellow. You can either inculcate or discard it.

Mbaise girl. Hmmmmmm

This is what the governor did today. What a way to waste a whole day!

Na now I no why many woman get belle for this man and many still dey pursue am,,he no get liver to tell them say him no want rubbish,,dem fine, and he start to dey sample dem,,dey born anyhow .

There is no better word than coward to best describe his withdrawal from the planned protest at the eleventh hour.

yomi007k:
Na babes like ds dey divorce dir husband if he get small financial problem.

You are very correct. Money seem to be the only problem here and she is complaining bitterly.

Fairgodwin:
I have always wondered too. I never loved my father half as much as I love my mother.
But now the whole thing is beginning to trouble me, because I know I'm a man too and I'm likely to have kids someday who might, no not might, but DEFINITELY love their mother than they love me. This is making marriage very scary and uninteresting to me.
I think it is just a natural phenomenon that we can neither 'fight' nor erase. Guys, I'm sorry we just have to deal with it.

Whoever doesn't love his dad should remember that he might become a father someday.

pureniger:
hello all...i am new on nairaland and wish to post a fresh write up, pls how do i get started? will appreciate your response. regards

The first thing to do is pay the publication fee of 350k for the post. Thereafter PH to some on MMM and then come back to get the password to publish new post.

WeRblessed:
My brother, the OP is really funny. This is Nissan SUV not a 12 year old Geep with over 100,000 miles.


But any how, the pastor did great.

Hopefully, the guy has a driver license to drive the car, before he kills someone or himself and they blame it on Buhari.

How is this gesture great? Giving a private car to a poor man is not a good gift

quiverfull:
No need for exaggeration, that car is not brand new. Good gesture though.

It's one of the cars members used to sow seed.

carmag:
What of your money already in there won't you find a way to recover it

That is my fear oh! But I won't PH until I get everything

I will PH when I GH because I need my money back first.

porchster:
Tell that to the gods. Keep yor money.

Thankfully, all of us in my office have realised the inherent risk in PH at this moment. So we are no longer interested because MMM is obviously not sustainable.

I wanted to PH but I won't because the OP just opened my eyes to obvious reality. God bless you OP.

Smart move to avoid severe sanctions

hardbody:
Dear All, may I use this medium to, on behalf of my colleagues and i, apologise on the grammatical blunders of the supposed accident victim, i will ascribe this mediocre write up to the state of his mind at the point of writing. We are not all this way, although circumstances can alter cases. Please forgive him and let us put the blame at the feet of the trauma that overtook him after the accident. But to those who will understand, permit me to also say, nemo dat quod non habet. This is indeed the true case of the 'lawyer'.

Chai, i feel embarrassed to be associated with this manner of man. To those asking how he passed the bar finals...errmmmm....Let's say he passed.

We really need to investigate the guy and find out if he is a lawyer because this is embarrassing. We can't ascribe it to any trauma because it doesn't hold any water. From his Facebook page, this isn't an exception.

This may just be a regular street guy trying to rubbish this honourable profession.

magicfairy:
After thanking God for his life,then the socalled lawyer went ahead to post pictures of the dead, not having any thoughts for their families! Shame on him! Shame shame shame!!

From his command of English language you can tell that the "lawyer" is perhaps certified but obviously UNEDUCATED.

decatalyst:
RIP to the dead.

But I couldn't understand the so called "lawyer"'s English at first

Very discouraging. I don't think this lawyer will do well.

Mayany:
We are the anti MMM group how market? MMM ride on....

English is such a sensitive language. A little error and your sentence can land you in trouble.

You are absolutely correct. You would however agree with me that this can only happen in robust HR department right?.
However, I am open to your comments. Like you said, you are a god in HR so what do I know than to learn from you.
The discussion was made open for people like you. Thanks for your comment.

Do you mind enlightening me how you reduce a million cvs to 50 in 4 hours?. Just curious. I can send you a pm if you feel my question is sardonic.

I find your statement (You are a god in HR) absolutely inappropriate.

However, let me disregard that and respond to your comment.

First if you don't have a robust HR department, then it's not good enough and your experience in such an environment can't reflect acceptable HR practices. It's just like using the experience of a manual subsistent farmer to discuss the effect of agriculture in an economy.

Secondly, there are unannounced preferences a HR personel anticipates while advertising a vacant position. The most important aspects of these preferences are usually on the first page. So, sometimes it's like opening some applications and closing them almost immediately.

Other times, honest but suspicious omissions could also be a factor. For instance, an experienced applicant failing or avoiding his/her last boss or a fresher avoiding his/her school as a reference. These and many more could help you while sorting.

nmreports:
This is to help some of us who have been wondering how this is done and to all those who believe HR do not check CVs because of the volume. The assumption is that someone already has the job before the vacancy was posted.

For me, here is what I do:
Note: This does not represent all HR personnel mode of operation neither does it represent my organizations own.

1. When I post a vacancy to received CVs, from experience, most would be rejected because I use a screening technique that automatically sends emails that do not follow the stated instructions to spam. So those who did not follow the instructions were automatically taken to spam.

2. Those with luck who for some reasons found their way in as a result of some bug would be manually deleted by me.
Reason is that I have enough CV already and I cant start looking at someone who did not even follow instructions in the first place.
If you cannot follow instructions then you could be a bad fit.

3. The next step for me is to go from the beginning to see those who applied first (Its my own technique) then I start from there. I feel this is the only way for me to do justice. First come first served.

Thats why in the three major mistakes job seekers make, I mentioned that applicants should always apply fast: http://www.hrtechnique.com/2016/12/3-major-mistakes-job-seekers-make.html

4. I look at the contents, the structure before I even open the attachment. Your presentation matters to me.

My point is yes, we cannot look through all CVs but each HR person has a technique to ensure that fairness is implemented. How do you do it?

Well, my consolation here is that you said this technique is yours alone and not even that of your organization. I will advice that you review your processes because this isn't fair enough, especially for your organization.

The reason we ask applicants to use certain formats is for ease of screening and any applicant who complied with this instruction must be screened.

As an experienced HR person, it takes less than 4 hours to sort a million CVs, that is if you even get that much applications for a particular position.

A sound HR expert who knows what he/she is looking for, should be able to reduce a million CVs to 50 during sorting.

For example, if you are looking for an experienced person to work in a company's finance department, you already know the relevant educational background and work experience preferable.

From a CV of 50, you should be able to use other criteria such as rating of previous organization, position occupied, etc to get your final 10 for interview.

Where you trash an application that falls within the deadline simply because it wasn't the first, is injustice. What if the last 10 to apply are the most qualified?

A very important aspect of HR is the feedback. You must acknowledge receipt of all applications and perhaps send a feedback mails at the end of all your processes. Like sending a regret mail at any point you intend to discontinue with an application.

sneak3:
You don't need a lawyer, it's something you can start and conclude ursef. Take her death certificate to a high court as the next of kin, you will request for a letter of administration after which you take it to the bank. The bank will inturn reconfirm same from court independently to certify it's true copy. Once this process is concluded you then now write for the money to be tranfered to a given account in the name of the next of KIn as Stated in the Letter of admin. Or a Draft is raised in that same name. But like one of the Early Comments u Need to approach the Bank where the account is domiciled (was opened) give the customer Service the accurate name used in opening the account and Am sure You can get the account Number. Rgds

I find your submission quite intelligent. However, I will suggest a talk with the branch first because nobody is sure who the next of kin is.

gamaliel9:
Sorry for the death of your mum.All these processes above are due process but you have factor in that:

1. The Letter of Administration can take months if not years because it has to be published in one or two newspapers,and some newspaper houses wait till they have a lot of like letters before placing.

2. The Lawyer is not taking 10% ooo,it is about 30 to 40% of the money. My opinion: Have a heart to heart talk with Operations Manager,with a family letter authorizing you,go with one or two members of your family, with her death certificate and your government issued identity card.

3. Pray Psalm 23

Nice one.

MOSTEC:
Sorry dear, but dat money is a gonner. The a/c is probably dormant now

Stop saying what you don't know to mischievously mislead an innocent fellow who is genuinely seeking help.

I mean that is wickedness.

Benita27:
Could be sha, but 8yrs is a no no.

My dear, it's difficult to see a steady relationship that lasted 8 years before getting married. Most of such relationships are characterized by frequent breakups and reunion. Some of these breakups that even last as long as one year before reuniting.

Benita27:
Congrats to her, wasted time and resources.

She got engaged two weeks after the 8yrs relationship breakup?, like she was already keeping the one who proposed.

Exactly, and maybe infidelity was the reason for the breakup.

There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what is not true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.

But in Nigeria, you have a species of stubborn , brainwashed fellows who don't learn from the mistake of others .

Una no dey forget something

Funny enough it's possible this couple did this for fun intentionally.

Most of the reports and campaigns on domestic violence tend to focus on the effects rather than addressing the cause (s)---little wonder it's on the increase rather than decline.

All reported cases of domestic violence against women are usually greeted with ambivalence, from the following categories of people;

1. The men who are guilty but trying to justify their actions.
2. Staunch Feminists who enjoys any article that is anti-men and,
3.The indifferent class who believes that "it all depends".

First, let me make it clear that I condemn domestic violence in all its forms. Surprisingly as an activist, I seldom take up cases of domestic violence because of the DOMESTIC in it. Just before you accuse me of male chauvinism, I have prosecuted more cases of oppression and rights violation against women (pro bono) than I have done for men.

Now let's examine the role of women in encouraging domestic violence, perhaps inadvertently.

Admittedly, men are mostly the culprits in about 80% of reported cases of domestic violence and other forms of violence against women but come to think of it, these men did not fall from the sky. They are our brothers, sons, cousins and nephews!

How many mothers, sisters, really care to know how their sons, brothers, cousins and nephews treat their wife or wives as the case may be?

Do you even listen to these women who are your daughters in-law, sisters in -law, cousin's wife and nephew's wife without sentiments?

Do you see them suffering in the hands of these men(your relations) and decide to play the ostrich?

As a mother why would you want to manage your house and also decide how your son's house should be managed, yet you fight anybody that disturbs your daughter in her husband's house?

There's no gainsaying that most brides are even more scared of the presence of mother in-laws and sincerely wished none existed. A mother in-law knows that her son is a wife beater but would rather blame the poor wife for her son's behavior than cautioning her son. I have had reports of sisters in-law who went to their brother's house to beat up the wife and throw her things out.

Today I charge women to first examine themselves and wake up to tackle violence against fellow women with sincerity of purpose first before carrying placards.

Let's even digress and look a women's inhumanity to fellow women who suddenly become widows! The horror called widowhood rites is supervised by none other than fellow women. Widows are subjected to so many degrading and humiliating procedures during and after the funeral rites of her deceased husband. This inhumanity is meted out by fellow women under the guise of tradition.

Surprisingly, the men do not take part and actually do frown at the gross abuse. The umuada(as they are called in Igboland) actually take it upon themselves to "punish" these widows by putting them through excruciating traditional rites that cause them MORE HARM and NO GOOD. Not many of the widows survive this preposterous practice thereafter.

Finally, both boys and girls grow under the tutelage of their mother up until adulthood before getting married.
So, I call on all mothers to go back to the drawing board and start now to fixing your son on how to become a better husband, and your daughter on how to become a wife her husband would adore rather than abuse.

Tell your sons the truth and stop shying away from the reality because that your daughter in-law is someone's daughter and your daughter will be someone's wife someday.

A responsible child raised by a responsible mother is the panacea for domestic violence.
