It may have escaped your notice, but the scheme you described is illegal, immoral and abhorrent. What is the money to be used for? Bribe the Director? Curry favor from a government agency or directorate? It is unfortunate that this type of behavior is generally accepted in Nigerian society today. In case you're wondering what you should have done, you should have stated clearly that this is an illegal act and you will not be involved in such a despicable scheme. If you have 350 - 500k laying around, why not start a business or invest in something? If bribery is what it takes to get a govt agency job, you should abstain, maintain your honor and prevent any blemish to your conscience.

Aptly put!
Ehmm, barman! Barman, where you now? One chilled Budweiser for this my person abeg, and a fully loaded plate of nkwobi!

Yes they like being in groups.

Eran butun, in Egbaland! O dun daku!

Dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia. Op, research these learning disabilities and then come back to tell us what you've learned.
Also, find out if your brother is being bullied at school.

I have been on this show, as part of the audience. Wonderful studio back then in Omole. Frank Edoho changing suits in between recording sessions. It was fun.
There's no serious content in television programming again, just hot air. It's now all about the money. And sex sells.

If it's a girl now, it'd be called ''sexualization" or what's the politically correct language? We shaa keep stealing childhood away from children and turn them to overnight adults to please our carnal sightseeing.

You're correct. Many parents want to live their lives through their kids. Let children be children. Do not rush them. It may lead to ego problems, entitlement mentality, dashed hopes, and depression in adulthood. Forget about the media hype, many so-called stars are battling these problems as we speak. As a teacher, I repeat: Let kids be kids!

This same nonsense was brought by some unions to my dad decades ago. The union excos met their match when the police officers sternly instructed them to leave Dad's business alone, as he runs a registered company and cannot be compelled to join any union.

Dear Op,
Find a means to register your business or register your Mom's business. Please, don't just register as onions seller, make it comprehensive: vegetables, seasonings, soup ingredients, etc.
Then, take your hustle online. Concentrate on your locale, so that deliveries won't be too much of a hassle. Be safety conscious too.
Use your education to help yourself and your family. Forget the unions. Best wishes

This isn't new

But just to be safe

Stop filling all thr forms you see on whatsapp broadcasts,

FG is not sending money to anyone yet

All those foundations popping up here-and-there are not real too, all they do is harvest your information

Finally one link went viral 3-4 weeks ago about CBN business loan for enteprenure I believe some people were behind that too


Bottom line remain careful where you drop your info



And when they call you with mtn glo airtel looking number, don't reveal your details

Social engineering, business email compromise (BEC) and phishing are on the increase now. Do not give your bank details to ANYONE over the phone or on any social media. Stay safe.

Hello everybody. I am Nigerian based in France. My English it is not 100% perfect but I will try to make it possible for you to understand me with the help of google french to English translator and my story is also long sorry for that.

When I was 9 years old I joined my uncle, my mum's younger brother in France. He declared me as his daughter. During that time he only had one child, 2 years old. He and the wife were so loving to me. I never lacked anything in their house.

But when I turned 12, I went to secondary school. I met some bad friends there. This is where the problem started.I became a very difficult child. I will go to school come home late. My uncle will beat and beat me but I never listened. I smoked my first cigarette at 12 and had my first sex at 13 and I started running away from home to stay with boyfriends. Sometimes I can go for a week and when uncle reporta me missing, the police will be looking for me, then they will bring me back home.

Then at 14 I went to school and lied to my teacher that my uncle was abusing me. I told them he was beating me with belts, electric wire, they don’t give me foods and I really said a lot of bad things about them doing to me to make my teacher believe my story so they could take me away from them because I wanted freedom and my teacher believed me and reported to the police and child protection, they are people who take away abused children from their parents. They took custody of me and my uncle three children, the youngest was 6 months old to their care and they gave us to this white lady to care for us and my uncle and wife were arrested for child abuse and the police were doing some investigation.

After spending 1yr 9 months in care of the white lady I dropped out school. They found out that I was a difficult child that I lied to get freedom so they have decided to give my uncle his children back to him while I stayed in care of white people but my uncle had sworn because I made him lost his children for 1yr 9 months that I will never found happiness in my life and I will never enjoy the fruit of my labour which it is true as I am typing this.

I have given birth to 6 children by 6 men and none of the children is living with me. The first one was taken away from me at 2 months old because I beat her up and fractured her hands and I also tested positive for heroinn (drugs), so that did not stop me from giving birth second child was removed from my care 4 hours after birth she also tested positive for heroin the same way my other children were removed at birth too so I carry on with my lifestyles. I did not care about my children at that time all I care about was sex, alcohol and drugs this is what I wanted and I have been to prison several times for selling drugs and fraudsters. The longest I have spent in prison was 2 years then after i left prison, I met with this sister who introduced me to this church she attended so I went along with her, the pastor told me to confess my sin to him and promised it will be a secret between I, him and God which I did repented and accepted Jesus as my saviour. To be honest, my life did changed a lot, I fell the peace in my heart , enjoyed going to church every Sunday but this pastor went tell his wife my life story and the wife told everyone in church my life story and started using it against me so it made me so angry that I left the church in November 2017 without looking back. I have decided not to attend any church again. I have stopped alcohol, taking drugs and sleeping with men I no longer do it. I prayed at home, read my bible and behaving good and it's almost 2 years I havnt slept with a man and i went to look for my uncle asking him for forgiveness but he has refused and I send him many text messages begging him to forgive and I still no heard anything from him or the wife even their children I have tried to ask them forgiveness they have blocked me and they all want nothing to do with me even my own parents and siblings in Africa they have rejected me, none of them want to talk to me, my parents said i am dead to them, it is so painful I cry everyday in my prayers, as for my children 4 of them are adopted with new family. I can't see them again maybe until they are 18 years old If they want to know me if they don't want I will have no choice to accept it and my 2 youngest children i am only allowed to see them once a year in a children play centre with someone supervise because they don't let me to be alone with them and soon I will stop visiting them because they are planning to adopt them to a new family too that will mean I will have nobody on this earth.

I regret my mistake so bad I wish I could change it but it will no be impossible. I can't have more children because they will be removed from me like the others and I am only 31years old. I don't know if my repentance was genius because my family has refused to forgive me and my question goes like this if they never forgive me will I ever found happiness again or I will just have to accept it until I died?

Please, advise me in a Christian way maybe if there's more I can do and also prayed for me so my family will be able to forgive me and also pray for my two children that nobody will adopt them so I can get custody of them and i promised to be a good mother to them, please I am begging you in the name of God.

I'll send you a pm. Please reply once you see it. We take it from there. There's still plenty of hope if you really want to make a change. Best wishes.

This is a nice one. And the site checked out too. I will consider this.

Zhirinovsky:
If you don't inform your MD and they later get caught and the police get involved. You re as guilty as they are when the police or your MD come to know that you knew about the incessant thefts and kept quiet.

Believe me if they re going to prison, you re too.

You re the accountant it is your duty to report such to your MD ASAP.
Those thieves won't stop till you wreck your MD.

That's all I have to say too.

Dvea:
sorry Iamclime I cannot afford to pay any higher and when I say experienced I mean someone who at least knkws the concept of writing. I obviously am not in search of professional writers. Thank you for your concern but as I said I can only afford this much for now and yes there are people who need this job even with the pay grade. But you have motivated me to keep working hard so that I can eventually pay my workers well.

Great! You will get there. Keep pushing.

Dear Op,
Please read what you have written again, SLOWLY, this time. Now, ask yourself: Will I take this kind of job? Will I encourage someone dear to me to take it?
1. You want someone that'll work for at least 9.5 hours daily, Monday through Saturday. (about 57 hours weekly)
2. You want to pay #7500 per week (that's approximately #132 per hour)
3. The person will use his/her own computer or phone (and of course, pay for electricity too)
4. The person must be an experienced WRITER!
Dear God, why is this country like this?
Best wishes in your search. It will be better you get a freelancer.

I will recommend Federal Neuropsychiatric hospital Uselu, Benin city or Federal Neuropsychiatric hospital Aro, Abeokuta.

Op, take him to Kaduna, near Barnawa and let him chill there for a LONG TIME.

PaulSimon2020:
Do some people actually make < #150k per annum? That's like #12k5 per month? That's hell on Earth kinda life.

People make less than #12k per month. There are some private schools that pay teachers about 10k. It's a world of inequalities.

holytribe:
Unfortunately, people still don't believe that this virus is real. Some ignorant people still says the cause of death is as a result of 5g.
Met some police officers some days ago,they said there is nothing like corona and that everything is all about united nations propaganda.

A pastor keeps preaching 5G every Sunday in my area. I just laugh.

You all will be surprised to know how much Atlantic Hall pays the teachers. And their recruitment practices and processes? Hmmmnnn...

We just have to live with COVID-19. It has been added to list of coronavirus diseases around (MERS, SARS). It ain't going nowhere. This is not pessimistic prognostication or doomsday gloominess, but nascent reality. We can only hope for a drug or a vaccine, and that may take months to achieve.
Be ready to adopt, adapt, and evolve new ways of doing old things, people!

Lisabi Agbongboakala. He played for Isese FC back in the days, alongside Omosetan Omoyorun, Sango Olukoso, and Ogun Lakaaye at Igba Irunmole stadium. Oh, those days of pure soccer talent!

You all don't know what God has done for you all oo.
One time, many years ago, I traveled to calabar to go see this girl. She picked me from the parked and we got to her one bedroom apartment, nice and cozy. I baff, wear singlet and boxer, crossed leg on the table changing TV channels.
2 secs my girl received a call, followed by a knock on the door. It was very obvious he paid for the apartment from the look on his face. My girl just said 'I'm sorry Dan'.
I got dressed, this guy and my girl dropped me off at the park. I reached PH by almost 11pm.
So Me go calabar to just go baff, I can't still believe it.

Now, this right here, is the crown of it all. I'm tired!

[quote author=Tumbulum post=89247311]I was asked to redesign the oscillation mechanism of an ox fan to achieve a 360 revolution for more efficient air circulation. My problem is actually the analysis. I am trying to make out something out of the design.it has been challenging.[/quote
Engineering. I thought it was social/management sciences. Talk to the experts in that field. Some of them should be on this platform. All the best bro.

Tumbulum:
I need to reach you bro concerning my master Thesis. In currently stuck. I need to borrow ideas from you. I sent you a pm.

What's your area of concentration? What research design are you using?

A Bachelor's, a Master's, and even a Doctorate does not guarantee ANYTHING, not only in Nigeria, but anywhere in the world. It can only enhance your chances in some cases. It all depends on what you want. I was running a Master's programme in 2010 but left for more important things. Then, in 2018, I completed my Master's programme after starting all over again. Professors have been on my neck telling me to enroll for my PhD, due to my performance on the programme and my passion for research and teaching. That I am yet to consider.
One thing you should know, though, is that when the time comes to get that job, that promotion, that appointment, and you need a Master's or higher degree and you don't have it, boom! The opportunity is gone and given to the one who has. Talking from experience. Do what you can, while you can.

The internship was interesting! Kindly note it's not a job offer or a paying internship. It's an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of international development and data analysis. The knowledge and exposure may come in handy when you land a role with development organisations, e.g. INGOs

Note that the training is 100% online and you should be committed to completing your assignments on time. You should have access to a computer to be able to enjoy the training and also handle the tasks.

You will meet interesting folks and if you are good at connecting with people, networking will also be possible.

There's a financial commitment for you to get your certificate at the end of the training. I don't know how much now though. In 2018, it was a token of N5000.
I hope this is helpful to some extent.
