₦airaland Forum

OAM4J: hehehe, that will be one unending debate that will also require special protection kits for the organisers and judges but then, if majority want it, so be it. I can imagine Desola, Dayokanu, katsumoto, Onlytruth,PointB, and Dede1 slugging it out, it will be one hell of a war debate

If I may ask, Isale will you like to be one of our judges for the debate?

That would be an el-Classico. Let's give it a shot na

Jarus: Shortlists Nateevs, Dayokanu and Coogar.

Let me consult my oracle on final choice; I'll be back

Ok, back. It's Coogar!

Odunnu: Jarusat. Hahahaha that one go soon enter dictionary o.

@Tgirl, please remind Jarus he needs to concentrate more on when he kissed Mrs Jarus goodbye at the park, when he stomped out in anger and refusing to eat for two long hours until madam stood on her head with raised legs begging for forgiveness. Remind him we want to know when he got drunk and madam had to leave him at the bar. Lol. Those are the kinda stories we wanno read and not festac/Ikoyi damaged PP runs

Anyway, I hope you dey prepare sha

naijababe: That Dayokanu na big time agbaya! Jarusat ko!

This was actually where DK coined the name 'Jarusat', long before the baby came sef. I liked it and I made it stick. Jarusat is now my baby's nickname, even among my Facebook buddies

NB: For those that nominated more than 1 person per category, we only chose the first one.

Top 3 in each category make it to final round (voting) at the close of nomination.

Umartins1: Had this be written by Jarus, it would've made the front page: https://www.nairaland.com/1122731/must-read-patriot

Yes, because Jarus asks that his (worthy) threads be moved to front page, and you don't. Rather, you insult.

Tgirl4real: In addition:

-I need to know who likes my posts.

-I need to see date and time a quote was originally posted.

Yes, I also need to know who like my posts.

But I think in terms of beauty, the current structure isnt that bad.

misreal: Omo na wa oh.job for naija na wa oh.i am in de university dats y each tym i come into threads like this,i feel like crying.

That's why you have to work very hard in getting 2.1, if not First Class.

That, at least, gets you invited for tests, where you have the opportunity to prove yourself.

Apart from the social status it confers on one, my next most important driving force in striving for a good grade in the university was increasing my competitive edge. I knew there were many 2.1's out there, so I can't afford not to do better and get a step higher. I literally went for kill.

Robertomatteo: Thank you Mr Jarus for the kind words and compliments. I read Environmental Biology in school and finished with a second class lower. I have not been called up for any interview yet and often times I lay it down to the fact that I graduated with a second class lower in a less glamorous course of study but the truth is that I know what I can offer as an individual.

When it comes to skills, the only one I have is the ability to write. However, in these months I have been Idle, I have been cheated countless times all in the name of writing for people. No one wants to pay, and those that will pay can only part with paltry sums barely enough to pay for the internet research time. If I have been able to land a writing or editing job with reasonable pay, I won't be in this situation today.

Regarding having patience, I wish I could do more than this. You are right with my Graduation and NYSC timing but Sir, I simply cannot afford to go into next year without anything doing. Who knows, I could even be thrown out of the current place am staying anytime soon as the guy am staying with is already showing negative vibes and going back home will only kill my parents a little further.

Painfully, I see people I am much better than academically landing positions all over Abuja (both government and private parastatals on a daily basis).

I feel your pain. It's appearing you know your onions and your being out of job is not because of personal deficiency.

Well, I wont advise taking to anything unholy. I can only say, just keep pushing, dont get frustrated.

2pence: Its an IT firm based in Lagos and the contract after probations states that the salary will be increased to 80 thousand Naira for an executive Manager

The point is I think Most employers of labour in this Country really don't value CV's or should I say frustrate folks with overseas qualifications WHY ?

It's not totally a matter of CV. An employer wont pay you what he can't afford or what is more than the value you add to his business.

You write quite well,which, to a reasonable extent, presents you as someone good enough for white collar job.

Truth, unfortunately, is there is excess supply of qualified people for white collar jobs. So it is highly competitive; hundreds of hthousands of people like you competing for few spaces.

Banks and financial institutions in general still remain the largest absorber of skilled labour, despite the challenges in the last few years.

What is your discipline?
What did you graduate with?

Have you ever been called for tests? What was your performance in the tests?

I understand your position, the pressure, the justified expectations from your parents etc, but you don't have to take to crime. Please don't; you will only compound the challenges of your parents, if things go awry.

Retain your honour, keep pushing. You finished 2010, meaning you completed NYSC 2011 in the earliest. That's not too long, frankly. I know people that searched for jobs for 5 years and it wasn't that they were not qualified. My closest friend in teh university, who had a 2-1, strong 2-1 (4-point plus), stayed two years at home after our NYSC before he got a bank job.

So I can only only advise you keep pushing. You can be exploring self-employment alternatives too, thinking of what you can do, what special skills you can acquire.

taharqa: @Jarus, so dat u know. Sm of us are beginning to think that even our belovd NL have been 'bought' over recently. You Mods tk pleasure in promoting negative threads on the frontpage, regardless of how ridiculous or wrong they are, even weirdly reposting same thread again for effect; while more positive threads are completely jettisond. That is d trend lately. I actuali intend submitting a personal 'formal' Complaints to you 1st and then to Seun... I dont rili care hw much negative news u guys choose to promote, but at least sm balance shld be sort on sm positive news as well. Balance and Fairness: yr guys hold it 1st to yr consciences, and then to every thing u guys hold dear including the future of dis 'our' NL

Can you give me an example of the negative threads we are promoting on the front page?

Seun: @Odunnu: Forgive me. I can't keep up with the forum these days. I really appreciate your immense efforts in the Education section. Well done!


Bro, according to our logs, you moderated 6 times in September, once in October, and once in November, so I don't know what to say!

Omho, no be small thing o

Sun newspaper even gave Akpabio governor of the year in 2010 or so and Lamido the year before.

And to back up my assertions, go and check all Nairaland's recent threads on 'best governors/Top 5 governors' etc, Amaeachi, Akpabio and Lamido and even Chime got constant mentions.

As for Fashola, the reason for his publicity is simple. More than half of educated Nigerians know Lagos - either on visit or living here or seeing/reading the activities in the media; so it is easy to see and judge a working governor in Lagos.

And apart from Fashola -and maybe Aregbesola - I don't think other SW governors (Ajimobi and Amosun in particular) have press image better than that of Amaechi and Lamido.

Compared to the cons, it is still a good thing that opposition controls the media.

The government has NTA which is still the most watched station, especially by the middle to lower class who reside in places other than big cities of Lagos, PH, Abuja, Kano etc. These PDP states, which are in teh majority also have local stations for their use. These governments hire all manners of Media advisers, PR guys etc from the formal to the informal media. Reno is there tackling el-Rufai on twitter, Abati and Okupe doing the formal media thing, Beaf and co, even if not sponsored, are giving the Gbawes of this world run for their money on Nairaland here.

So, if the opposition guys are having upper hand and able to tilt public sentiments in their favour, I don't think anyone is to blame. That is the way I see it.

That said, I think Amaeachi and Sule Lamido have their own due of good press. I don't agree they are under-reported.

Akpabio is the only PDP performer I think is not getting the deserved publicity and I will blame his media/PR guys for that.

interesting analysis.

[quote author=miss_bola]@jarus

what about this: if i had a dream that my husband is getting intimate with me, is this wrong? what if is another man i know in the movies?@jarus[/quote]May be those dreams that come from subconscious, fantasies, imagination. May not be jinn related

Like calling out top and maybe controversial posters for the formal debate.

LOL

I'm actually thinking of spicing up the December edition by specially making it a VIP affair

Odunnu: Lol. You are definitely high. I mean, what has my picture got to do with this thread?

i was actually around. trying to do some clean up here, on OP's request.

[quote author=miss_bola]@jarus thanks. what about the other quest?[/quote]What's that?

ujchief: @jarus,
someone nominated musiwa. Why is his name not in ur list

He has a separate section for himself. We dont see him as a poster here

i believe what u said dat it's jinns. what about this version:

two different people told me it's 'WITCHES'. that they use thier private part to cover the sleepong vitim's face. how true is this?

I have mentioned times without number that what is called withcraft is nothing but some humans using jinns (it's usually a contract, the Jinn requests them to do some things too) to affect human.

There are two types of ways evil jinns can affect human

1, Being sent by human (withcraft, charms etc work by this)
2, Just out of its own mischief, not being sent by anybody.

Clearly, the case you mentioned above is jinn at work, but whether it is on its own or being used by some evil people(withcraft) is what I cannot tell.

tbaba1234: .

I commented on this earlier but from i have read curing an affected person may involve flogging as the blows fall on the jinn and when the person recovers, he usually inform those present that he didnt feel a thing.

Yes, exorcism sometimes involves beating, but it should be one of the last resorts and should be methodical. I heard from Dr Bilal Philips of a case in Manchester where during beating during exorcism the victim died and it became a case for the exorcists, and I think they were jailed.

oya o, abeg let go back to business

PointB: lol, nice slide tackling.

You also remind of Mai Shia (the tea makers by the roadside),
Each time I chance upon them by the roadside, I usually imagine you siting in some corner beside the gutter, struggling with stove, mixing milo and saccharin with frumpy face like the world forced the trade upon you shoulder, and everyone is your enemy except for few. I mostly shake my head and wonder whatever make you grumpy and sad. Pray is it seun or mukina2 that brough this upon you? You don't have to do what you don't enjoy doing. Life is too sweet to be lived in bondage.

I only seek to add flavour and colour to your thread. Smile and enjoy yourself a little.

LMAO. Crazy girl, sorry man

For having the audacity to call His Excellency, the moderator of the largest section in the largest forum in the largest black nation in the world, Mai Shai, you are banned forever!

Enough side attractions, let's return to nominations.

My ban finger is itching me o

PointB: lol.

I trust the guy to run off with his tail between his legs. I wonder why people fear ban that much.
Please humour me Jarus, why do folks fear ban like death?

Meanwhile, just by the way, you come across very feminine to me; I always image you as the Igbo version of Desola

As for that Desola, whether she likes it or not, she go marry me aboki omo mola, she just dey 'form swagger for here' (omo Yoruba ni mi, mo ni swagger - what a signature! )

Odunnu: Whether una like o, carry am go mars sef, no wahala.
Whats the relevance? Not as if Seun appreciates his employees either by a real pat on the back, a phone call, or a special 'well done' email. Each slight opportunity he gets he still chides us in public and thats annoying. Mcheew, I dey vex for the man sef.

Anyway, let it be on record I nominated Justwise and y'all know why.

LOL

Me and Seun don become friends now sha. Na before I no understand the man I remember when we exchanged about 15 PM's in the old Nairaland dragging an issue and I offered to resign

I think he's now more appreciative and understands better. He has improved in management style, IMO.


Na only to declare for the boys sha. Don't worry he has told me he would surprise us
