But what you said corresponds with the point he mentioned so why refute it. The OP is saying, answer the call not introduce yourself.

There are people who pick a call and stay mute and so you don’t know if the call has connected until you say, hello.

Then they will now answer you back.

That’s what the point is addressing.

When you pick a call, acknowledge it by a simple, hello so the caller knows the call had connected.

Exousiang01:
I disagree with .14.
When you call me I will pick the call and say hello,
I expect you to introduce yourself.
If I am the one placing the call.
I will introduce myself as soon as you pick up.
I think it should be the other way round.
If you are calling someone the onus is on you to speak.
Especially when you know the receiver doesn't have your contact.

Do you have a reading problem or a comprehension problem.
I clearly said there that I will say Hello.
Work on your reading and comprehension

When you pick a call, the ideal thing is to answer it, not wait for the person who made the call. You answer because it is the way to let the person making the call know that it has connected.

This same principle applies in networking when sending packets.

How do you wait for someone who made the call to speak first when he/she doesn’t know if the call had connected?

That's a great etiquette collection, but I don't agree with No 14) which says:

14. 14. When someone calls you on phone, you speak first, except the call is suspicious. Don't keep quiet and allow the caller to speak first.

Note: I think it should have been the other way round. How can you call my line and stay quiet for me to speak first? Maybe it's my own principle. I think that's the way it ought to be.



quote author=Rapmoney post=139966220]1. Asking people when they will get married when you are not very close to them is plainly stupid. Marriage is part of a person's private life. That should not be your concern.

2. Being overweight and big in size and expecting others to squeeze themselves for you in public transport. They are not the cause of your big size. You lack discipline because you eat too much without exercising. Pay for an extra seat instead of inconveniencing others who might have paid same fare as you.

3. Entering a public place with body and mouth odours and expecting people to respect you. You lie! You have already abused and disrespected yourself by entering a public space in such condition.

4. Impregnating a girl, and expecting others to contribute to the upbringing of the child. Do you think your penis is bigger and more functional than theirs?

5. Informing your boss of your resignation over dissatisfaction, and accepting the job back again after he/she pacified you. Na premium sack and disgrace dey front gidigba dey wait you.

6. Fighting someone who will lose less than you if things go wrong. Not every fight is worth the stress.

7. Staring at strangers for too long and in an unnecessary manner. It makes people scared and uncomfortable.

8. Talking to people you do not know about your life in public transport.

9. Do not switch immediately to answering a call while discussing with somebody, without seeking their permission to opt out. When you are discussing with someone and a phone call comes in, excuse the person and take the call. The person is not a tree. He/she deserves to be regarded.

10. When you are walking on a tiny space and someone is at your back moving at a higher speed than yours, give them allowance to pass. They are not your bodyguard.

11. Going on a date and pressing your phone throughout the period. You should have told the other person that both of you would be having a phone pressing challenge instead of a date.

12. Using your fingers to pick your nose and still expecting others to shake you when you stretch out your hand.

13. When you meet someone who is way older than you, allow them to stretch out their hand for a handshake, and not the other way round.

14. When someone calls you on phone, you speak first, except the call is suspicious. Don't keep quiet and allow the caller to speak first.

15. Do not enter someone's house with dirty feet, or use their toilet without flushing. You will never know the stress it took them to put their house in order.

16. When you borrow something from someone, return it after use. Do not allow them to ask you for it or come to you to get it.

Some of them aren’t. I have watched the movies you listed and I can tell you there are some Netflix movies that surpass them.

Go check out: Tö Kill a Monkey. 7 Doors. etc

These are all very great movies.

pasol4real:
Those useless over hyped movies?
Oga go and watch rattle snake, igodo , died retched, loving in bondage, Final burial etc
This Netflix nollywood movies are nothing but trash

You make me laugh. You mistake someone’s personality for how leadership will be carried out.

I am one of the toughest when it comes to leadership. I don’t cower and won’t stand for irresponsibility, but if you see me, you’ll think I’m a pushover.

Don’t be deceived by looks.

Peter Obi isn’t a softie.

7upnigeria:
2 more terms sef. No serious candidate among all these clowns that want to run against him.

Is it Obi that Kwankwaso can tell to keep quiet or Atiku that disappears and reappears every four years JUST TO CONTEST ELECTIONS. It makes me feel like Atiku makes some money during elections. He doesn't have any meaningful thing to campaign with, he just believes he has money and people from the North will vote for him.

Please sharrap. Thank you!

I think you guys miss the point.

I don’t think the issue is asking Nigerians to fry akara. The real issue is that the elites are thriving at the expense of the masses.

These guys being asked to fry akara are not lesser Nigerians than the kids of those holding political office who have robbed and are robbing us of our common wealth.

In Burkinafaso, every one halls their military leader and believe in his vision for the nation because everyone can see him make sacrifices and so trust that he means them well.

Peter Obi is the same. His time is office was clearly seen not to be extravagant or using the government’s money to do his bidding.

The same woman proposing frying akara recently gave out brand new cars to APC women leaders. Do you have any inclination what a second hand car costs? Let alone a brand new car— which she said they should register as theirs. It wasn’t APC property, it was theirs.

Then you come up with proposing frying akara to people who aren’t less Nigerians.

The double edgedness is where the issue lies.

BATified2023:
so obi said 10k is enough and u hailed him but the first lady said 50k upward n u are condemning her

That's y people don't take u lots serious, u are freaking hypocrites

You clearly need help. The sooner you know this, the better. When you speak a man whose only sin against you and your cronies is to be exercise his constitutional rights. If you don’t know who is using the courts to fight him, then I can’t help. Your problem needs special attention.

Ezewuzie01:
Demented Peter Obi used to ask one stupid question when he was governor Is Anambra cursed or are we the cause? Little did we know that history will unveil him as the person who is actually cursed. See how he is messing up any party he joins with his cursed presence

How has a Yoruba presidency or vice presidency bettered your life

Sannisege:
Pity yourself Oga. A Yoruba man will be vice president immediately after Tinubu.

Did you see the evidence Kenneth Okonkwo posted on his X account as the message between him and the said person who called him?? Oh! I’m sure you didn’t.

Or maybe you did but figured you should still pitch your tent with falsehood against someone who isn’t the cause of the happenings in Nigeria.

What bitterness.

Kenneth Okonkwo that didn’t understand the law when it came to defection tö a party that hadn’t won a single state in elections not being an eligible party, but left LP tö join a troubled party is one that shouldn’t be taken seriously as tö matters of the law

Please

Britishpea:
The tactic is simple...it is a decoy...Once the case is in the court, it will refrain Kenneth from spilling more damaging details that could further dent Obis image...Court proceeding even though will lag will get Kenneth busy and then extinguish his fire

Hmmm…

In a world where people write without thinking, yours was definitely a breath of fresh air.

This your comment is in poor taste! Someone just got murdered in cold-blood, and the main thing you’re concerned about is that she didn’t have a husband or offspring! Do you know her circumstances in life!? Or you think everyone has their path to marriage and child-bearing well laid out and waiting for them!? Life is not black or white like you want to portray it to be! What of those that born pikin and they’re all useless and a liability….what of those that think they born pikin, and the pikin later on in life murders the parent!?

Just say your RIPs and/or comment on the sad security situation in Nigeria, and leave it at that! Her marital status or whether she had any kids is of no concern to anyone at this point….certainly not of concern to strangers like you and i.[/quote]

This is religious fanaticism. How you justify murder in the 21st century after Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection is troubling.

You justify the murders carried out by Israel and then preach “let’s pray for Nigeria” in sight of the killings being propagated by Islamic extremists.

The Israeli state is no diferent from the Islamic extremists.

In case you haven’t noticed, they both claim to be fighting for God— tö bring his word to pass.

This comment made me burst out laughing. You are telling your fellow South African tö make a thread about it on a Nigerian platform

Chaiii… Nigerians are undoubtedly the most hospitable humans on earth. We are so accommodating.

See the free publicity you are given on a Nigerian site. Even Twitter, Facebook, Instagram have segmentation that prevents their own from freely relating with others, but see you enjoying a Nigerian resource and insulting us on top.

Something you and your fellow South African lots won’t tolerate.

IronGalaxy:

I think you miss it!

Criticizing someone is one thing but bringing a railing accusation about the person with names and places anf claiming the man collected money for forms and stuff when it ain’t true is another.

Peter Obi’s lawyer is saying retract the statement or be sued.

I think that’s being civil.

I personally want to know if the incident is true or false even though I know it is the latter.

The said text message he uploaded as proof that PO was collecting bribe for NDC south East has been debunked by the person he claimed told him about the scam.

PO doesnt attack people’s personalities. He talks about the issues on ground. That’s the difference.

In the end, after all the forming and steeze, Mab is but dust.

This picture is the reason I will vote for him. I was undecided prior.

Misterone:
Is Obi bare footed in this picture? What's he doing? Swearing juju! Others are putting on shoes and sandals but he's barefooted! This man too like boyboy attention! Spit tueh!

Like seriously?? You guys are something. Someone concerts dates, places and claims and you are saying he shouldn’t ask that it be retracted or tgey go to court so the person provides evidence.

Peter Obi is a citizen of Nigeria and he has rights.

If you see using the judiciary as dictatorial I don’t know what else to tell you.

Some people have a name to protect. One they have worked tö build over the decades. So he that alleges must prove.

As long as he isn’t use the court tö witch-hunt people then it is fine.

I am yet to hear one story from Anambrarians that he assaulted people and sent those who challenged him to jail without trial by a competent court.

So rest!

quote author=seunmsg post=139667813]This is not a suit but a threat to sue if certain things are not done. It is similar to the threat Peter Obi issued against People's Gazette, till today, he never sued. So, this is just another face saving public stunt by Peter Obi. He should go and refund the money he collected from NDC aspirants in the south east.

Again, Nigerians can now see the kind of duplicitous character this Peter Obi is. He's not yet president but already using legal threats to silence those opposed to him. One can only imagine how he will threat the opposition, activists and the media if he ever becomes the president. Dude can't even take a pinch of what he normally dishes to others.[/quote]

This is particularly sad because these guys (politicians) are the architect of the insecurity we face. Yet they use our common resources to try and protect themselves. Reason why they won’t push for resolution of the crisis that has submerged our nation.

If only they realized that a time is coming when even armoured vehicle won’t save any of them. Then, maybe they would have rolled up their sleeves and seek resolution of the impending doom.

We rise!!!

Today, I took time out to find out why the people of Burkinafaso (The Burkinabes) love their President so much and I was blown away. I suggest you do same. A visionary president is contagious. You don’t need tö false people to say you are working when you aren’t .

Every Burkinabe loves their President.

Go find out why. They can die for him and the vision he has made them buy into. That is leadership.

Even the blind can see that Tinubu is clueless.

Go see where Burkinafaso was and see where they are headed. Then come back and judge what Tinubu is selling tö Nigerians and you will clearly see why we can clearly see through his facade.

Lol.. so marriage is an escape route from masturbation or fornication I don’t agree with this theory, though.

Self control is the antidote for masturbation and fornication. The ability to keep one’s mind focused on the right things.

Every desire is borne from what one is thinking. When you don’t fuel thoughts of lust through what you see or hear, masturbation and fornication will be alien from you.

For his recklessness, if he had done substitution of players at the right time we couldn't have lost that yesterday game.

I almost lost my life yesterday because of that game. While watching the game within second half into the game I noticed my heart was beating faster and I was so restless and find difficult to breathe properly, I quickly change my TV channel to more interesting movie channel to keep my mind away from the game.

The pressure was just too much, we long for that trophy for a very long time. Just small thing, these useless Manchester United and Chelsea fans will remind us that we have never won European trophy before.

I was traumatised


E no go beta for Mikel Arteta

It seems like you enjoy denying teh handwriting on the wall. Nigerians will vote Obi massively- again.

You alll know this clearly not wanting to acknowledge it. I’m from the South South and I don’t see anyone else worth my vote.

Amaechi and Tinubu installed Buhari on Nigerians and if they still haven’t faulted Buhari’s administration, then it is a crime to vote any of them into power.

Some people did with Tinubu even when he clearly said he would continue from where Buhari stopped and today, they are in tears.
