I never insulted anyone regarding this, I asked because knowing who sponsored the bill will better equip one to understand the trajectory of the bill.

You rightly asked, is this bill in our best collective interest?

The telecom sector that is praised as doing well and not affected much by the economic downturn is now targeted by this bill, have they thought out the consequences?

It's little relief knowing the bill is a PDP product.

The other part of my post wasn't directed at you, actually. I onnly answered your question and used same post for the comment I came to make.

Thanks for the civility.

Reason why some people stopped joining discussions on NL politics section.

menxer:
Who sponsored this bill sef?

A member of the HOR, Honourable Bede Eke Uchenna from Aboh Mbaise/Ngor Okpala Federal Constituency, Imo State.

I think we need to be a little more enlightened in public discourses. Government is a continuum and not everything is about party or the President.

This bill is sponsored by by a PDP Rep after all.

The question should be, is it good or not?, not insulting personalities.

2 students die as fire razes their house - News. (Source: https://www.nairaland.com/3308540/2-imo-polytechnic-students-die)

I have written on this subject many times and will continue to do anytime I read this kind of news.

1, Ensure your house has 2 exits (preferably at different directions of the house)

2, Get a fire extinguisher on standby; know how to operate it and teach others.

3, Install a smoke detector in your house.

4, Cultivate the habit of going round your house to check electrical appliances and fittings and ensure non-essential ones are switched off before going to bed.

5, Use professional electricians to fix your electrical fittings. This is not where to apply DIY.

6, Never let any electrician "manage" for you. Fix any issue once and for all.

7, Avoid candle like plague.

8, Discontinue use of any appliance that has electrical fault (eg gas cooker), rather than trying to fix yourself before professional repairer comes.

9, Avoid storing petrol. Never keep fuel in the house. Keep at safe distance in the compound if you must store.

10, Get for every room a metal cutter that can be used to cut that burglary proof in case of emergency.

Depends. Some work are best enjoyed at home, some in the office. What I want is flexibility - to be able to choose when and what to do work at home and when to go to the office.

Principe:
A job is something one does in earn gain or gain experience.A career is a long term pursuit of life long ambition.From these definitions is it safe to say that job is a sprint while career is a marathon.

Let us look us look at some of the jobs one should not take for a career.My criteria for choosing these jobs are:

-Job security
-Career growth
-Ability to transfer the skills acquired on these jobs to other sectors.

(1) BANKING:Years ago this profession would not have made this list,sadly things have changed.

Most bankers in Nigeria are contract staff,there is no promotion for a contract staff in the banking sector no matter how hard you work or dedicated you are to your job,even the core staff get promoted after 4/5 year at one level.Secondly,you can be asked to go anytime so any day you log in you work for that day bearing in mind that your sign on can be disabled anytime.

Ever wondered why most bankers move from one bank to the other?well apart from the myth of getting promotion faster,an average banker does not have special skills(especially technical skills)which could be transferred to other sectors.

Lastly,in banking the higher you climb(for the core staff) the less relevant you become.This is why most banks fire mid management staff and recruit someone younger and less expensive.

(2) TEACHING(PRIVATE SCHOOLS):This is a job one could do immediately after NYSC to keep 'body and soul' together.Salaries of some private schools are lower than the NYSC allowee.Some may argue that some private schools pay good salary.That is true,but they are few and far between.

Some schools do not have corporate structure let alone employment letter.The proprietor may even sack you verbally One can also 'resign' by telling the owner through phone.

CUSTOMER CARE(NETWORK PROVIDERS).Tales of how these customer care staff are treated by their employers abound,they are poorly paid.There is also an unconfirmed story I heard that the health implications of answering calls regularly are enormous.

Disclaimer: This piece was not written to discourage people that are doing the aforementioned jobs nor those who intend to start.However,if you want to quit it is better you have another job before quitting.

Actually the three are the largest absorber of formal Labour.

I have always admired this guy since his days at FRSC.

Same here.

PSY 204 - A psychology course I borrowed in 200L. Everything there was abstract and sounded Greek.

I just couldn't understand it. To make matters worse, the exam was going to be fill-in-the-gap, so I had no option than to cram. Cramming made it more difficult. No note, we were just given like a 50 page material.

That semester, it was this course and other courses. I spent more thxn half of my entire study time that semester on that course. I was slways sweating, sometimes almost crying, having head ache, anytime I read that course.

I ended up scoring 67B.

Lie from the put of hell. That lawyer is the family problem. Connived with wives to appropriate Yekini's properties to themselves.

seXytOhbAd:
Bad boy. Clearly the man is intelligent. More intelligent than our recklessly silly EFCC. The right to free speech protects every Nigerian. Anyway, we are watching.

I agree with this. His actions before the arrest while the officers were in his compound show someone that is intelligent.

HungerBAD:
Damn.

Man's inhumanity to man.

Some crimes you read about about, and it requires one to say a silent prayer to God that he has been protecting his own. And then they took the Kids?as what?trophies? this is exactly why i will always support Jungle Justice for criminals.

They are just too heartless.

Honestly. As I read this, I remember calling the bluff of a former co-tenant/neighbour.

Any cruel person could have done this. And no one knows who is this cruel.

[size=48pt]Shut the help up! Own 75% property in Mumbai!!!! Are you fvcking stu.pid! Your Nigerian drug dealers dont own even 1% of property in Mumbai. They can never afford it in another 100 generations![/size]

Do they teach sarcasm in Indian schools?

Our attack let us down. They lacked bite.

Another useless event to remind us how bad our English is!!!

All are funnybut this takes the cake.

This is what I fear most as a Tax Professional.

This must be a joke!

what kind of headline is this

When you're a public figure, you're in the spotlight and what comes with it is people saying all sorts of things.

It doesn't matter whether you're a celebrity or a politician, people will scrutinize you. It comes with the status. Don't be surprised some of them actually enjoy the controversies and scrutiny.

So can we have Politician compassion too?

Reference:
Not too optimistic. Great players but not a great team. The problems surrounding the team has not enabled them reach the levels required.

Same here. Not very optimistic, to be frank. But to me, we have a decent team, but no great player.

niyoni:
@ Jarus, please can u furnish me with the entry level pay package at Seplat, Neconde and Harlliburton respectively. Which would you prefer if you got dangling offers from the 3?
Many thanks in advance!

Security

1, Halliburton
2, Seplat/Neconde

Pay
1, Seplat
2, Halliburton
3, Neconde

Exposure/learning opportunities
1, Halliburton
2, Seplat
3, Neconde

Overall, if I were to choose:
1, Seplat
2, Halliburton
3, Neconde

Seplat's pay is just too irresistible. Any other thing can wait. Many industry watchers fear bubble bursting for Seplat soon, but mhen that money is too irresistible.

airsaylongcon:
Does this industry knowledge factor in the awoof allowance that companies "bless" their staff with?

All legitimate pay (allowances) inclusive.
