If you have prior experience, pay may be btw 4-4.5m. If no experience 3.3-4m. But like any other negotiation, try to ask for something higher, maybe 5-6m so that when the chips are down ir comes to their normal range.


What to expect? Knowledge of Oando, retail business, Excel and presentation, dealing with data, etc. Like any other interview, your confidence and composure can make a huge difference.

This woman and her PR guys are getting desperate by the day.

GD, sorry, na just small nikkah for Kwara.

I will send OO1's no to u on Facebook.

I am a political blogger with 3 years experience.

I finished from a private pry schl but a public secondary school. In our secondary school days, esp jjunior classes, one way to keep the class quiet was to write names of vernacular speakers. Na me dey write names of vernacular speakers and collect the fines. May God forgive, I reported only half of the fines, the others ended in Iya Abu's amola shop.

The last time I had an organised, consistent form of relaxation being discussed here was when I was serving in Sokoto state.

In the evening, after our Isha'(8pm) prayer, entered Daddy Smart(a spot in front of our corpers lodge where Sokoto bankers etc go to relax in the evening), got seats, ordered for suya, chilled malt, soft drinks, zobo, kunu, fura, etc and gists from football to politics to teasing one another, while watching/playing Table tennis, till 10-11 pm.

I hardly have time for these in Lagos, except sometimes when an old friend come calling and we go out, usually to The Palms, take some ice cream, soft drinks, juices, pop corn while reliving childhood/school/service memories.

Despite her challenges, OAU still remains highly sought after, if not the most sought after varsity in Nigeria.

Unfortunately, out of the 4281 that applied for Economics, maybe only the 281 on top will be given admission. In my set(2001), less than 300 got admissin, and less than 200 graduated 4 years later(5 years actually).

I always bought ice lolly or kunu from one Alhaja on my way home from school every afternoon. I think it was 50 kobo

In my last term in public primary school(3rd term primary 2 - 1989), I came 16th in class and changed it to 6th(cleaned the 1 in front of it). I was later caught but not until after eating big meat. I was later moved to private nursery and primary school and took primary 2 again. I came 34th out of 44 in my first term in private school, but to God be the glory, I ended with 1st position in primary 6 3rd term.

In core public primary schools, you go to school and spend half of the day doing these for your teachers, especially female teachers:

Won ewedu
Se egusi

Someone sshould help translate those into English.


Honestly, I respect people that attended public primary schools(in our gweneration) and go ahead to compete favourably later in life.

dayokanu: I was coming from a private Primary school to a Public secondary sch

All my books were stolen in the first few weeks

I experienced exactly same. I finished from private primary school(although spent 3 years in public before movinng) and entered public secondary school. Omho, those public primary school boys cleared my books in one week

I believe Essien is (abi na was) the better player of the duo. Essien was unfortunate to have Eto'o and Drogba at their peaks too when he was also in his peak. Yaya Toure, Adebayor and Kanoute are other AFotY winners that are just above average, just happened to shine when there was no world class challenger.

dramakwin: A̶̲̥̅♏ a year π 4months in my marriage.i won't say it has been rosy cos just 2days ago my husband asked for a divorce cos A̶̲̥̅♏ nt yet pregnant...π after much pleading he gave me an ultimatum till november dis yr

WTH. This is serious.

Haba, people should be considerate. I have seen marriage of 11 years with no kid yet and they are still together. I pray that will not be our portion, but c'mon, husband should show some perseverance. Who told him the new wife he will bring in will conceive.

I am 16 months into marriage like you and my wife had 2 miscarriages last year. She was highly apprehensive, disturbed and fearful of any eventuality, especially pressure from my family(and I have a family that give honest interference in members affairs). But I kept assuring her that no problem, that she should not worry, that I will stand by her, that almost 80% of women experience miscarriage and there is no cause for alarm etc. To Allah be the story, we will be welcoming our first baby in few months time.

So, I believe your husband is rather impatient and it's very serious.

But damn, We play ball so tey time dey enter 8pm. Na so I play ball reach o.

Goals scored at that time are called 'goal irole'. Very interesting.

Losers' song

Ati leri p'ama na won lo
Lobayi wo o,
Atileri p'ama nawon lo
Lo ba yi wo

We had boasted to beat them
But it went other way

Winners' song:
A fa ri won (we shaved their head)
A fi kinikan si(we put something there - can't remember the thing again)
Won ba ni ko to(and they said it's not enough)
A tun f'epo ra (and we added palm oil to their shaved head)



Sometimes these mockery songs lead to fights, especially in inter-area and inter-school matches.

Oh, how did I miss this? Happy birthday one and only Cutie Pie on NL!

Draw-draw instead of simply draw.

Corner-goal: when a corner kick scores directly

Ojoro cancel ojoro

I can see peopLe correcting olawalebab on 'lugo'. Lugo and lago are actually the same thing. I think it is those of us northern Yorubas(Kwara northward) that call it lugo while southern Yorubas call it lago. I know both.

On the run: when a winger outruns an opponent players from the wing and crosses the ball.

I attended public primary school for 3 years before I was moved to a private one.

Did you eat akarakoro, balewa etc?

La ball: to balloon the bal.

Eki = Very rough tackle

I just moved to a new company within the industry. Tomorrow is my last day here and I will be resuming in my new company next week by God's grace.

The whole thing took up to 6 months

October 2011 - Sent in my application. I have never been a fan of newspaper job adverts. I don't like job opening where the whole of Nigeria will be invited. I believe in just getting across my CV to right places in HR and get called for interview. I don't even read Guardian. But interestingly, I was just reading Guardian(primarily for political stories) that morning when I saw teh advert. Since it doesn't cost me anything, I just sent in my CV and the one-page turenchi on why I believe I should be given this job.

November 2011 I got a call from KPMG(KPMG handled it for the firm - an oil company) that show up in our office tomorrow blabla for interview. Then a follow-up email sent.


I did the interview and for more than 4 months, I didn't get any response. I gave them a call around January and I was told they were still expecting feedback from their client.

March 2012 Got a call from KPMG again that I had been invited for secodn interview with their client and email followed. Now they revealed the company. Did the interview.

April 2012: Sealed the deal. Medical, offer etc.

May 2012 : To resume, insha Allah.

That's about 6 months. The opposite happened in my current job. The whole thing took less than 1 week.

Recolise = Equalize

FELELE BALL

BALL ONIKE

KAKA BALL

Who played boolu elede (pig ball)?

When you play ball enter Baba Gebu or Iya Elepe's compound, the woman/man will seize the ball and all of you will spend hours begging before the ball is released.

Pasheje(A lazy striker who doesnt struggle to collect ball but alway stay in d opponent b18 to score)

I'm an expert in this. From secondary school through university till now, I have scored wonder goals with this. I have destroyed sets with far better players using this. I don't have the strenght and skills to win ball from midfield, but feed me with a through pass inside box 18, before you say Ja, it's inside the net. I play 7 or 9, lurking around the box, expertly positioned to convert through passes. Knowing how to do that is an art itself.

Kolo: to put the ball in-between the legs of teh keeper
Deding: Throw the ball up, usually to restart a game when both or none of teh two teams are at fault.

Bude: powerful shot

Congrats, man! Welcome to the club

No wahala as per the other one.

wesley80: lolllllllzzzz, its been my biggest headache since last nite and I hope their adventure ends next time in the interest of sanity.

Chelsea msut not win o. Come see my area yesterday, with all these touts. I, refined like a typical Arsenal fan, had to tutor them on how to celebrate civilly, without breaking bottles in Iya Tawa joint You can now imagine if they win CL. lai lai
