Do you remember the Pepsi advert that Femi Kuti and Yvonne Chaka Chaka did in 1989?

Senior, Respect Sir.
what's d name of the track she took her two men pictures to a sorcerer for whom to love.

Yvonne Chaka Chaka's daughter Fortunate is one of several business owners who lost merchandise worth thousands of rands when looters destroyed her store in Maboneng, Johannesburg and made off with all its stock this past weekend.
The musician arrived home from Namibia on Sunday to learn that her daughter's store had been hit by thugs.
"They stole everything, all the clothes and everything in the shop. Even the mannequins are on the floor. It is terrible. There was a lot of damage."
Ma Yvonne said her daughter and the store's staff heard the looters, but couldn't stop the attacks.
"She is fine. It is very sad but we are just glad she and her staff are safe. It is a very big blow."

@YvonneChakaX2
Came back from Namibia this is what I found my daughter s shop broken into and looted I am shuttered lawlessness

Ma Yvonne said her daughter was self-funded and hired 35 staff members, including seamstresses, at a factory.
"I try to fund her as much as I can but she is very independent and put everything she had into the store. There are a lot of losses and we don't know what this means for the future of the shop. We can't continue like this."
The veteran musician condemned the attacks that erupted across the city.
"You try to help other people and do your best for the community, but when something like this happens it is very disappointing. You travel to different countries but when something like this happens, you feel very ashamed as a South African."
She pointed out that the spirit of ubuntu was strong after hurricane Idai devastated Mozambique earlier this year and that many South Africans knew how to help their fellow Africans.
"South Africans have lived with different nationalities and supported other nations. It is sad to see this because I know South Africans are good people."

My personal experiences with South Africans

South Africa is a highly literate society, with 94% of its population being able to read and write in any language. In contrast, Nigeria is merely above average literacy at 65% of the population (see Figures). However, it is no news that the literacy pattern in Nigeria is heavily skewed towards the southern part of the country, and that the overall literacy rate is diluted significantly by very high illiteracy in the northern part. Notably, a similar scenario also plays out in South Africa where Whites, followed by Indians, are the most literate, with the Blacks bringing up the distant rear.

By nature, human beings are always curious or inquisitive when they first encounter anything exotic to them. That is why, whenever I speak to a new person in America, the first thing they say to me is ‘‘I love your accent. Where are you from?’’ Being inquisitive is, in part, a function of educational level; better educated people are more inquisitive, and higher literacy is indicative of better education as well. I found out that those who bother to ask me the above question are often the educated Americans, as our discussions show, eventually. Thus, there is an interplay of these factors. So, I would ask myself what do South Africans say to African foreigners in their country? Do they say ‘‘I love your accent’’, instead of ‘‘go back to your country?’’

How can a people (South Africans) with such high literacy rate wantonly and unceasingly kill African foreigners in their midst? Make no mistake, as with its literacy rate, the educational rate of South Africa is skewed toward the White, then the Indian population. The Black population is highly under-educated (See Figure). This is worrisome, given that they constitute about 80% of the population. So, is the xenophobia constantly exhibited by South Africans linked to low educational attainment of a majority group in the population? The answer may be yes, much as the high incidences of killing (by Boko Haram and cattle herdsmen) are linked to the same factor in Nigeria. In essence, South Africa and Nigeria have one thing in common: education (lack of)- induced societal problem, leading to a fatal outcome. One slight difference is that in the case of South Africa, the outcome is directed towards African foreigners, while in Nigeria it is directed towards self. Not sure which is worse, they look alike to me - African-on-African crimes. I leave you to judge. As for me, I have only encountered educated South Africans and that could have made the big difference. Which brings me to the crux of my article: my personal experiences with (Black) South Africans.

I have not been to South Africa. But I have had personal experiences with three South Africans, all of which have been positive, and one actually personal and life-long. For that reason, I am having a hard time lumping every one of them as xenophobes. When I was in Nigeria, I was a very young man of 22 years working for an International agency (name and location withheld). During my third year with the agency, I got a new boss. Guess from where? South Africa. Before then, my old boss was a Nigerian. He was a great guy, but looking back now, I feel that he did not let me learn a lot from him that will progress my career. When my South African Boss, a highly educated fellow, settled down in Nigeria, he taught me many of the things I knew today. He did not see me as a future competitor, but in fact, did take me as a much younger brother. He invited me to his home to meet his family and we had more than a boss-worker relationship. Somewhere during the course of time, my father passed away. I informed him about it and told him I would be taking a couple of weeks off to attend to my father’s funeral – I am the first child and a lot was on my shoulder. He asked me what type of man my father was and I told him – hardworking, honest, loving, a local leader, and a man of average means. I added that my father being a community leader, his burial events would be at that scale as well. He knew about the costs of burials and marriages in Nigeria and he knew how much I earned – pay was good but could be better. When I was leaving for the burial, he handed me 50 Thousand Naira and told me it was a loan from him to assist with the burial expenses. This was years back, during Abdulsalam Abubakir's regime. So that was big money back then. I never asked for it, but I needed help. So, I took the money with gratitude, and in my mind I reckoned I will have to ask him to let me repay him in installments. When I returned, which coincided with end of month, I requested for installment payment and he agreed. It took me 3 months to repay all the money - no interest. On the third month, after I handed him the last installment, he did something that surprised me the next day. He returned the money - I mean all 50K - to me and said ‘‘let the loan be buried with the dead’’. I was shocked beyond belief. That was how nice he was and still is.

When he left Nigeria a few years later, we kept in touch. When I was leaving Nigeria to study in the United States, he was one of those who wrote me a recommendation letter that contributed to my being granted a scholarship, even though he had not seen me in three years. While I was studying, he returned to Nigeria briefly and was organizing a global workshop for the agency. Of all the qualified people he knew, he invited me from my base to be his assistant in the Workshop. I flew back home, all expense paid from the Workshop funds, and on concluding my one-week role in the workshop, he facilitated a handsome honorarium for me. I swear, I could have done the work for him for free; the paid trip afforded me a free opportunity to visit Nigeria after 2 years and to see my mother. The honorarium payment, 1000 USD, was an unexpected appetizer and a good augment to my scholarship stipend. We still kept in touch. When I was applying for the US Green Card (GC) few years later after my studies, I again called upon him for a reference letter. If you know anything about the National Interest Waiver (NIW) pathway for GC, you will appreciate what a strong letter of reference could do for you. He wrote me a strong letter and with similar letters from 10 other people (including, by the way, my former Nigerian boss) in my application package, I obtained the Green Card. Today, I am a US citizen and the rest is history. On my part, I have not done much to repay my South Africa boss, except that I also wrote him a recommendation letter which he asked of me when he was applying to become the Dean or Executive Director (or something like that, not so sure, but he did tell me it was a big position; the biggest ever he would be occupying if successful) in the University back in South Africa. At that time, I had become quite successful and risen in my own career in America, and he felt my recommendation would contribute positively to his application. And yes, he did get the position. Such is my relationship with this person, and hopefully, you would understand with me why I could not call him a xenophobe.

My second experience with a South African was brief, yet notable. In 2017, I was invited to a one-week conference in Beijing China as a Keynote Speaker and I flew into China from US. At the conference, I saw only a handful of black people in a sea of Chinese faces, but I was not bothered; I had a great travel and stay arrangement with my Chinese hosts and would not really be lonely or lost - it was my first time in China, a country of 1.3 billion people. During my presentation, the program moderator introduced me as Dr. xxxxx from the U.S. Yet, anyone who knows anything about ‘’American accent’’ will know that I may be American by nationality, but I was not born and raised in America. I have my proud African (Nigerian) accent. After giving my presentation, one of the black attendees approached me and introduced himself. He was a PhD student in the country who came originally from South Africa. I also introduced myself as originally from Nigeria. He then told me that two of the other black people in the conference were also Nigerian students. I was enthused – I have familiar company, or so I thought. That was my second time of seeing a South African in real life, whereas I have traveled to many places around the world and come across Africans of different shades ad nationalities. It was always refreshing meeting people that look like you in foreign lands. I was hoping that the Nigerians would make contact with me. After all, I am their guest and they are the host, so to say. But they did not. Instead, the South African kept in touch, and during the weekend volunteered to take me around town/country and to show me places. We visited the Beijing Olympics complex and the Great Wall of China, among other places. Note that he left his studies to do all that. I did not pay him, he did not ask for any payment. However, out of my show of ‘‘big brother’’, I paid for our lunch and transportation to these places. But that was okay; he was a student and I was working. When I left China, we kept in touch. I was helping him to visit America; however, I am suspending that help until further notice, in solidarity with Nigeria and other African victims of xenophobia. He knows about this decision and accepts it as a consequence of the stupid things his compatriots have done.

The last experience was just a few months ago, before the current outbreak of xenophobia. I got an email from someone on LinkedIn asking me to get in touch with them. When I did, it turned out to be a young South African university Professor who had read my works and was interested in collaborating with me. During our discussion, I informed her I was Nigerian and she also told me that many Nigerians live and work in her country. We continued serious conversations concerning her work and within a few weeks, she sent me pages and pages of research work she had done that were yet to be published. Again, if you know anything about research and publications, you will realize that was not a smart thing to do. You don’t share your research to strangers until they are published. But she trusted me. I gave her suggestions on how to improve the research and make them ready for publication. Weeks later, she wrote back requesting for me to visit her university and organize a workshop for them. I told her that I had no immediate plan or budget to come to South Africa, as it will be cost-intensive and I have to justify that to my employer. She wrote back to say that all expenses will be covered for the two weeks. I then realized that would afford me the opportunity to visit with my former boss and have a happy reunion with him - free of charge to me. What more can I ask for? As fate would have it, the current xenophobic attacks happened months later and I wrote back that I may be shelving my trip in solidarity with Nigerians and other Africans – we had planned the trip for November. She understood and pleaded for me to postpone rather than shelve the trip, if need be. She maintained that the South African government will do what it can to stop the violence and that things would be normal by November. She reiterated how ashamed she was writing me when her people are conducting the disgraceful act of killing, maiming and looting the properties of fellow Africans. I felt pity for her and told her I will shelve the proposed trip to such a time that peace has returned to her country. We ended on that note. As I do not live in Nigeria and do not patronize any South African products (MTN, DSTV, Shoprite and others), this is the way I could ‘boycott’ South Africa. Still, how could I rightly call this person a xenophobic killer?

South Africa is now a pariah state of sort, in Africa. It will likely pay a huge economic and diplomatic price for its madness - it should. At the same time, I remember my own native country and its many problems, and ask myself rhetorically when the Nigerian government will do all it can to stop them.

I never really bothered to know, but their office is 9 kofo abayomi, VI. Have had people i know leave for another job though. NNMDA is under Federal ministry of science and tech.

am about to get an appointment there, what's there salary structure like and most especially for a graduate. Salary range pls

EngrBriggs:
CONPSS is the worst thing that can ever happen to any graduate. Level 15 officers (Assistant Directors) who have spent more than 25 years in service still earn below N200,000 monthly.

That's why corruption in Ministries and extra ministerial departments no be here . That's why am really intensifying ma efforts to japaa to another job

EngrBriggs:
I'm really tempted to insult you but I will hold myself because;

- You may be truely ignorant about NIPOST.

- You have relied on hearsay(s).

- You may not have an intention of mischief when posting this.


But let me CATEGORICALLY state that level 08/2 in Nipost takes home 49,800. Now that is for entry level BSc holders. I have my cousin's payslip for JULY 2019.

NIPOST is one of the most poorly remunerated parastatals with poor staff welfare and poor working environment. Please be guided.

I wanted commenting earlier on but e weak my body.
I saw their appointment letters flying April/may . All these CONPSS salary structure sef
