I have always kept a positive mindset towards job hunting right from Uni days with the believe that I would never be an applicant for too long.That thought-process paid off when I received a call from the HR department of one of the biggest resorts in my state for an interview having submitted an application last November for a supervisory role, same month I completed my NYSC service year. Both written and oral interview went on smoothly and I got my letter yesterday as the newest and youngest Manager, a role superior to what I applied for. I didn't even have a non-nysc working experience. My joy knows no bound.

Never stop believing you can achieve favourable greatness even when other people are complaining of difficult times.

God bless your hustle

alBHAGDADI:
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – Muslim relatives of a young woman in eastern Uganda who put her faith in Christ at a Christmas service coerced her into taking poison at a New Year’s celebration, she said.
Sandra Summaya, 24, of Bugayi village in Pallisa District, told Morning Star News that she converted to Christianity at a worship service on Christmas Day.

“I had great peace when the pastor prayed for me to take Jesus as my savior,” she said. “I later shared my testimony with my brother, who outrightly accused me of being an infidel and an outcast from the family and the Muslim community. I felt great pain inside me because of the insults.”
On Sunday (Jan. 1) Summaya’s immediate family and a few other relatives gathered in the predominantly Muslim village in Kamuge County to celebrate the New Year with a meal. At the high point of the gathering, Summaya said, a paternal uncle read to her a Bible verse and suggested it meant God would protect her from harm, including illness from ingesting poison.
“He said, ‘Do you believe that Issa [Jesus] is able to protect your from poison as written in the Bible?’ and I answered ‘Yes,’” she said. “Immediately I was forced to take the poison to confirm my faith in the Bible, at around midnight. I could not deny the Bible, so I took the rat poison.”
Soon she became seriously ill.
“I started having severe stomach pains together with vomiting and cried for help,” she said. “I was taken away from the homestead to a nearby bush. I was tied with a rope to a tree and left to die.”
Her loud cries woke a Christian neighbor who rushed to the site.
“I found Summaya unconscious, and we rushed her to a Kamuge nursing home, where the doctor saved her life,” said the neighbor, whose name is withheld for security reasons.

Summaya remains at the hospital and her condition has stabilized, a nurse told Morning Star News.
“She will still be in the hospital for some few days as we monitor her situation,” said the nurse, who requested anonymity.
An area source requested prayer that Summaya be healed and protected, and that she not doubt God’s love and provision.
The incidents are the latest in a series of anti-Christian attacks in eastern Uganda. On Christmas Day Muslims in eastern Uganda
beat Christians at a worship service and wrecked the home of a single mother on Christmas Eve, sources said.

On Dec. 8, relatives of a former Islamic teacher attacked his 60-year-old mother for becoming a Christian, wounding her head and breaking her hand, sources said. Aimuna Namutongi sustained a deep cut on her forehead. She and her son, 30-year-old Malik Higenyi, were trying to gather cassava at 10 a.m. on the homestead he had been forced to abandon in Bufuja village, Butaleja District, after Muslim relatives threatened to kill him if he returned.
Higenyi, whom Muslim relatives had beaten unconscious on Nov. 13 after he publically confessed having embraced Christianity, managed to escape the fury of those who arrived at his farm on Dec. 8 while he and his mother were trying to harvest something to eat, he told Morning Star News.

Namutongi became a Christian after visiting her ostracized, injured son on Nov. 26 and listening to his faith journey, a local source said. He has continued to receive threatening messages, he said.
On Oct. 20, Muslims in Kobolwa village, Kibuku District gutted the home of a Christian family for housing two boys who had been threatened with violence for leaving Islam.

Stephen Muganzi, 41, told Morning Star News that the two teenaged boys sought refuge with him on Oct. 16 after their parents earlier in the month learned of their conversion, began questioning them and threatened to kill them. The two boys, ages 16 and 17, had secretly become Christians nearly seven months before.

On Sept. 18, 2016, a Muslim in Budaka District beat his wife unconscious for attending a church service, sources said. Hussein Kasolo had recently married Fatuma Baluka, 21-year-old daughter of an Islamic leader in a predominantly Muslim village, undisclosed for security reasons.

On Aug. 10, a Christian woman in eastern Uganda became ill after she was poisoned , she said.
Aisha Twanza, a 25-year-old convert from Islam, ingested an insecticide put into her food after family members upbraided her for becoming a Christian, she told Morning Star News. She and her husband, who live in Kakwangha village in Budaka District, put their faith in Christ in January 2016.

In Busalamu village, Luuka District, eight children from four families have taken refuge with Christians after their parents beat and disowned them for leaving Islam or animism, sources said. The new-found faith of the children, ages 9 to 16, angered their parents, who beat them in an effort to deter them from sneaking to worship services, and on June 29, 2016 the young ones took refuge at the church building, area sources said.

About 85 percent of the people in Uganda are Christian and 11 percent Muslim, with some eastern areas having large Muslim populations. The country’s constitution and other laws provide for religious freedom, including the right to propagate one’s faith and convert from one faith to another, but Christians in eastern Uganda are suffering continual attacks by non-state figures.

to our Muslim brothers please stop and don't hurt anyone for seeing and accepting the LIGHT because you would be the one to embrace the Son of God.

True talk... Someone wants to help a friend of mine but told him dat he can't help him coz he has a second class lower

the minimum is second class upper, i've tried it before

let's see the list of shortlisted candidates then

In this country that employee has no law to back labor rights and where every unemployed is searching for any kind of jobs?

That's exactly what happens when FG employs based on man know man

getostar:
very convenient to quote Jesus christ when it supports ur claim.
shebi Jesus didn't have a home, or a personal donkey, or a armed guards.
please remind me which disciple died peacefully....
ur so called men of god conform to the world...thus they are at peace.
the bible states its clearly, u cant conform to the world n live in 'peace'...cuz the world is evil.

and what makes you think they don't go through difficulties for you to understand the word or maybe you're expecting them to announce to you whenever they are attacked. How many persons have you lead to righteousness, my advice for you is to pray God to show the light to follow the right path Instead of criticizing the prophets

MakeADifference:
I was invited to dinner one day with a professor of theology and some housemates. The housemates were mainly Nigerians and also theology students (research students). Myself and another lady (a non nigeria) were the only non-theologians there.

During dinner, a discussion (brought up) by our white host went on about Nigerian pentecostal churches. I was quiet. Then it got to the point where the man said Nigerian churches has ATMs etc. Those other guys too went ahead saying all sorts of things. And here are research students who were supposed to be more fact-powered rather than assumptions and insinuations.

But at one point I couldn't take it anymore, I really don't know what triggered me to make corrections. So I started by telling the man there was no church I know with an ATM. Secondly, the leadership of mega churches motivates millions of Nigerian youths (and only those who have insight will understand this fact). I explained to him the role those ATM-churches play in the society, mentoring Nigerian youths.

The role of 'ATM-churches' as he was calling them in providing an avenue for young people to be responsible - you'll see them in church engaged in one activity or the other. Such is very important in a country where government can't provide any recreational amenities.

I explained to him how churches are turning out desirable graduates through their universities. Those universities which had added so much value to Nigeria's higher education.

The next thing that came from this professor was in agreement, suddenly he remembered and mentioned a research report he had read that said the churches had serious and meaningful impact.

Those other guys went silent. I left that place satisfied I wasn't an 'omo ale to fowo osi juwe ile' - Yorubas say that phrase when they want to make a point that you can't rubbish them. If only because I was Nigerian, I wouldn't allow him rubbish things bigger than him - in his country they don't have a 'vibrant church' like in Nigeria by the way.

Beyond that, I have also been a beneficiary. I was born in Our Lady ... Hospital, went to St ... Nursery School, then was in St John/Marys for JSS and then was in Wesley ... of Science for my SSS. Am sure I would have attended a private church varsity if there were any then.

So go on and liken churches to Ponzi, it just shows which side your brain(s) operates from.

I don't see any reason to argue with people with low understanding of the Holy Book, because many people have the Bible but doesn't open it to learn more about God and His Prophets....... I hope you still remember that Jesus Christ and His disciples were criticized

I don't know if anyone or our dear government has ever thought of Making DSTV's subscription to be prepaid as PHCN. It's very painful and annoying to be paying for subscription that we don't at times use 50% of it. I plead to our government, including non-governmental organizations and notable individuals to save us from " distortion "......... If only Babatunde Raji Fashola and Lai Muhammed can get this note and find a solution to it possibly!

Good morning all..
I really need your advice here as I'm in a serious dilemma right now....
Opened a thread last week asking for help for a job no matter how small the pay as to enable me continue schooling, I received several Pm's ,some with good intentions.. (Blessing and lease most notable) although I couldn't get any jobs coz of the state difference..
Yestaday, I got a mail from a Nairalander requesting my contacts..
I gave him in good faith, hoping I may land a job but to my shock and dismay he snapped his manhood and sent to me that he is willing to travel to my state and give me anything I want(money,jobs,accommodation and all)
I politely told him I'll think about it and blocked him instantly..
Vhave been thinking seriously, I just realized that I need help and this man is willing to help but with such inhumane conditions...
GGOD you know I can never sell my body but I'm so confused now..
God knows I need help.
.
Matured advice please..
Good day all
