No job postings for those of us in the South East? Pls we don't all live in Lagos and Abuja. If you find any job vacancies in the South east,pls update me. Thanks.

What is happening to this thread? I've tried commenting on here so many times yet my comments are hidden.

Built for Nigerian roads. Very reliable.

Fulaman198,help me move this thread to the Tv/movies section. Thanks.

This is a continuation of the popular Zeeworld Thread on Nairaland. I discovered that i couldn't post my comment there anylonger and i don't know if anyone is experiencing the same problem. I have emailed the Mods just to be sure it's not a problem from my account.
For the time being,i would suggest we use this thread for zeeworld updates and discussions.
Thanks.

Names like Arisa,Ohuji,Ibam etc. There are many of them.

Everyone wants to come from Bini,lol. Especially those folks that don't where they migrated from to join igbos.
Thank you,i'm ok with my core Igbo ancestry.

Who else agrees with me that this adult Isha doesn't fit Isha's role?
Young Isha was Fire! A self confident,strong willed and out spoken girl.
This adult Isha is so Weak and Slow for my liking. Bhavani from Married Again is playing the spoilt Brat part well but Isha is dulling that soap. Haba!
They should have brought in someone like Aarti or Sugni to play Isha's part. That girl has no acting skill at all.

Lol. Anyway,certain things about the Ugbo people reminds me of Igbo-Yoruba pre historic connection before they both became distinct groups .
From the popular Moremi story to the Lightskin stuff to Oraife which actually looks like an igbo word.
We have Oraifite in Igboland.
Ugbo on it's own means a Bush or Farm in Igbo.
The word 'Oba' mean different things in Igbo.
I've also been able to gather words from both groups that have similar pronouciation,spelling and meaning.
Take it or leave it, these tribes are offsprings of similar Proto ancestors. I wouldn't be surprised if the Ugbo people are the last yoruba group to differenciate from Igbos and adopt a full Yoruba status.
We need to go deeper in our history.
When it comes to Nigeria,the closest relatives to Yorubas are Igbos, Idoma, Edo and Igalas but Tribalism has taken a toll on them.

I don't encourage women to reply random messages and chat with strangers on facebook. Anything that goes beyond making comments on a specific post or topic is not appropriate.
Social media esp facebook have been used to deceive many young desperate women. What you see online is not necessarily what you get offline. It's not even encouraged to accept friend request from strangers. Girls have fallen victims of a number of vices as a result of facebook chats and messages. Some men are wolves in sheep clothing that want more than a decent friendship and relationship. You will fall a victim if you don't manage your online presense well. Carefulness is the key word.
That it work for Miss A, doesn't mean it will happen in the same well for Miss B.
That girl must have been attracted to the guy or must have conducted certain online research before replying and taking an interest in him.

Girls don't be so desperate, be careful how and whose messages you respond to on Social media.
Don't share your number and contact address to any man on facebook.
Personally,i don't accept strange friend requests and don't engage in any deep inbox chats with men i don't know.
I have seen a simple hello to hi responds go to ''i like you, where do you live, give me your number''
O di egwu! Girls be careful!

Hey! How y'all doing?
I've been watching for a while and i absolutely love the new series esp Silver lining and Forbidden love.
It's also interesting to know that zee world recycle faces,most of our favourite actors are back.
Please who has a link on the Forbidden Love series? I was just saying to myself that some indian guys are fine. Look at that Vivan guy in Forbidden love. Hot!
Who knows his name?

YorubaThunder:


I'm really not interested in what's got you so hot and bothered.

Lol,the best response you can give a literate woman is 'not interested' and 'why so hot'.
That's really poor. Same response you gave Ngozi123.
You can have a discussion without making references to gender and derogatory references to sexuality.

YorubaThunder:


The only reason you're here is to reply me? Sorry dear, I don't do bleached Ibo gals. Keeping this dickk in the tribe. You've been released from my hypnosis, go and sin no more.

Let's be objective. Yoruba girls are actually the biggest bleachers in Nigeria. They can't stand the fact that Igbo,Calabar and Fulani girls are naturally light skinned.
Igbos come in diverse skin hues. I would treat this your obsession with igbo light skin as a case of ignorance and tribalism.

All these your recent pictures in are less than average. You can't possibly use it to compare with any tribe esp the Igbos and Fulanis.
Even yorubas that come down to the East for NYSC marvel at the level of handsomeness in regular igbo guys on the streets. The fact speaks for itself.

YorubaThunder:


Ibo girl, the last time you were online was July 16, but you decided to grace NL today by posting on a Yoruba thread about how Ibos are more handsome than Yorubas.

We're expecting you to log in with another ID.

Insecure people.

Haha,this is my account and i dictate how to use it whenever i want. Nothing is insecure about posting facts. It's a fact that people find guys from the east more attractive and it's 10 times more easier to find pictures of fine igbo boys on the net or streets.
I just saw you a few minutes ago peeping the Igbo thread. It shows how much obsessed you are about this issue.
Amongst the Igbos, beauty happens on regular basis.
We don't pitch ourselves with other tribes or make personal attacks to show our beauty.
Beauty is our second name and the world knows that.
You can even compare colonial entries of Igbo and Yoruba tribes.
You can keep ranting to console yourselves:p.

Hahaha,some people are trying to boost their ego with tribalistic rants and comments.
As a Nigerian woman,i would say that each tribe has handsome and goodlooking men,however a greater number of them come from the Eastern part of the country especially Igbo.
It's very easy for Nigerians and Africans to list the most handsome celebs from the east as against what is obtainable in other parts of Nigeria.
Google can attest to this, Nigerian music and movie industry can attest to it, our Brothers in Kenya,Ghana and Cameroon can equally attest to it. Even the international community knows that.
We all know the winners of this contest after all the rants has mellowed down. This noise making and tribalistic comments is inconsequential to what is obtainable outside this thread.

Give a dog a bad name and hang him...that's what Nigerians treat igbos!
These social vices are not peculiar to Igbos,they are human phenomenon found in all tribes and races. Yet when an igbo breaks a record, other people stay away from that thread but go bunkers and tribalistic when an individual from Eastern Nigeria gets into a bad situation.
It seems like you all are waiting to rejoice and make cricatures on top of igbo issues.
In case you have not been informed, Cannibalism has been practiced by all sorts of people in Nigeria,Africa, Europe and Asia at one point or another.
It is not peculiar to any group or race. Infact when the colonialist came,they reported cases of Cannibalism in Southern Nigeria including Ijaw and many parts of Niger delta while Yorubas and Benin were neck deep in gory forms of Human rituals. Any form of savagery that waste and spill human blood is Cannibalism.
People just refuse to read their own history and choose to critize and make fun of others.
When you laugh at others,remember you are no different. Cannibalism was a big part of Southern Nigeria.

ANBAKO:
This is a great start for you.
Please note that all CV must be tailored/customized for the role being applied for.

Observation (My personal opinion)

1. Your personal information is too much. I believe all that you need in that section is Full name, Address, Phone number, and e-mail address. Things like marital status, LGA, Nationality come in if specifically asked or if they can play influencing role in your job application. e.g. if you know that the hiring manager is from your state.

2. Your font is great but spacing and paragraphing is too much

3. I will have re-frame your profile as follows: "I am an innovative, proactive and self-motivated young professional with excellent communication skill and capability for outstanding customer service delivery. A creative and articulate individual with great team spirit to develop solutions to work place challenges."

5. If you are applying for a teaching job, I don't think the profile above is the best. The profile fit more for an admin assistant/office assistance role

4. As someone suggested earlier, merge you education and qualification
something like this: Madrid Secondary School, Benin City
West Africa Senior School Certificate -2005

5. include location of your educational institution eg towns, states as necessary

6. Also include location of your previous work places, Address, Town, state etc

7. I am not an advocate of referees unless you know the recruiter knows the referee

8. you need to add some of your soft skills: Use of Computer, language proficiency etc

9. you might also want to add your interests/hobby

All these should not be more than 2 pages

Good luck

Impressive! Can i send my Cv too? I need someone to review mine.
I don't need to add personal information like marital status,Lga etc?

SUNNYsparkle:


Please say what you know. Aro is a united entity. Whether you insinuate, they are made up of Ibiobio, Efik, Akpa, Edda, Jukun and Igbo, that's what's makes them Aro, as most NRI settlements within and outside Anambra mixed up with Igalas and Binis and are not pure Igbo stock. It is on record that Aro does not marry other Igbo's because Aro is high grade tribe of Igbos and other Igbos apart from (Nri proper, Nkwerre, Abam etc. ) had at one time or the other been sold as slaves, so are of lower grade

This is just sheer nonesense.
Arochukwu just like a few of other igbo towns is very heterogenous and made of non Igbo ancestry.
That part of your history is well documented.

It's a pity that Nigerians have been engulfed by tribalism and deep seated resentment. A close study of Igbo language/culture and Yoruba language/culture will show you that both descended from a common source or were heavily mixed before they began to seperate and adopt distinct phenotypes,language and lifestyle.
This is not the first time this research has been conducted though. Politically and otherwise,igbos and yorubas should be their strongest supporters but Igbophobia wouldn't let that happen.

Joavid:


you're right.

I think the Benue people use ejima to describe twins too.

looking at the history of ebira/egbira people, we have nothing in common with Igbos.

although i know Igala's do. not Ebiras

mercy Johnson dad is ebira(ihima), the mom I think is Igbo. they probably thought it's good to give her a name with similar spelling, a slightly different pronunciation but different meanings....I assume.

Smh. I literally shudder when people say they have ''Nothing in common'' with Igbos.
For how long will this divide and control continue!
Don't you know that Central/Southern Nigerian groups were once from a common source and ancestry?
Or don't you know that most groups within the confluence have significant influence from Igbo and Yoruba?
Or don't you know that the Kogi/Benue/Niger region is said to be the area where many Nigerian groups seperated?
Can't you see the similarity in language and culture?
Even Yoruba and Igbo the two biggest Southern groups have enough similarities between them dating back to when they branched off from a common source not to talk of Ebira tribe!

It is one thing to acknowledge you don't like the igbos but to go far to state that you are totally different and have nothing in common is anomalous.
A good number of Southern/Central Nigerian groups are either a mix of or derived from the bigger ethnic groups e.g Igala,yoruba,idoma igbo,edo etc.

Father's not giving a little or significant property to their daughters' is a sort of retrogression of Igbo culture.
Essentially,giving out properties to male children is to make sure that they have something to rely on when they set out on their own,it doesn't mean that nothing is given to female children.
I have seen old houses and animal sheds that were bequeated to female kids in some parts of Igbolands.
If a man has enough properties what stops him from giving some out to his female children?
I believe western civilization changed a lot of things. In a traditional sense,a Female child is the child of her father whether she is married or not,she is even free to come back after marriage(divorce) and stay/inherit her father's property. In a situation where a man has no male child,the female children inherits his property.

It all depends on the cultural timeline you are referencing.

nerdymufasa:


Alright, few jobs come with codes attached to the job title eg mechanical engr-REF1, electrical engineer - REF2, xxxxx- REF3; now the code after the job title is usually the reference...REF1 in this case for mech engr

Thank you. However,this one has no reference code. It's just wriiten in this format: Job title-accounts officer. Industry:banking and finance. So,i'm still confused.

Please guys help me out. I am trying to apply for a job online and the site requested that i use the job title and reference as subject. Now,what is reference in this case?

Twistaray:



Now, I now better, exactly where you are coming from.

And must you pretend that you didn't know the aim of the OP was to taunt Yoruba only for the thread to backfired

Abeg, no play victim here!

You didn't get the point I was tranna make because you only see things from your own and personal perspective.

My point being, the OP is is BIG liar Yorubas spray money at parties as well as ibo do.
That's just the reality, if not that any goes on NL this thread is baseless, and but you chose to tread the tribal-ish path you'd realised that your sermon was never needed except you wanted to counter/quote as well as every other person.

Mtchew

Once again,nairaland is an open forum,you don't tell people to post or not to post their opinions on a thread irrespective of your feelings. However,if you must quote others,you can do so constructively without hurling insults in a bid to counter opinions.
Even at that,you've not been able to counter my submission effectively other than making heated verbal attacks.
Op made the post to elicit general opinion. Igbos are interested in spraying money vs Yorubas are more interested in feeding guests.
It's a pity that a picture threatned you and your tribal E war kins.

YourNemesis:


Basically Yorubas are just more "communalistic" than Igbos. Parties in Yorubaland are places to get together, celebrate with the celebrants, Socialize with old pals or new people, shower them with love (both material and otherwise). The celebrants also in turn do their little bit by appreciating those who have taken them important enough to bless their event with their presence by making sure the visitors feel at home and are well taken care of. It does not mean those are the event are paupers who don't have food at home, but the belief is that Eating at your party is just part of being at peace with yo and sharing in your joy.
Igbos are more flashy because they are more individualistic. And usually, the flashiness is not a constructive one. You see people burying dead people in jeeps and SUV's, crass display of wealth etc. Community livelihood historically has never been their thing. Yorubas can be flashy at parties too , but it is done within a theme.
That is the moral story of the whole story.

There is absolutely no moral in the picture and story. All i see are two different lifestyles which can be explained in different cultural contexts,each suitable to the lifestyle and thought process of the two different ethnic groups.
I made a simple explanation in line with how parties are perceived in igboland,expressing your dislike for that lifestyle doesn't give your higher points neither does it demonstrate that your lifestyle is better off.
Community livelihood and Indivdualistic lifestyle are unrealated conceptual issues which are part of our cultural diversity. Both can work in the individual cultures without being pitted against the other.

Obviously,this is one of those ethnic baiting threads so people are prone to comment without thinking.
I made an honest explanation being part of the opposite culture,it's ridiculous that people take issues so deeply to even state the morals of a picture.
