Jobberman is not even on the list! SMH!!

Do Nigerians not hate one another too?

[color=#000099][/color]What is life about? Is it simply about obtaining success? What is success? Really, it is only a matter of opinion. To some success means money, to some success simply means doing what they love or being with those they love. Either way success can only be defined in one word, and that one word is HAPPINESS.

It’s the reason we stress over money, chase the perfect partner or try to live up to the worlds image of what we should be – because we believe in getting those things we will one day be happy.

Life is not about proving anyone wrong, it's about proving yourself right

Life is not about competing against others
But life is about competing against yourself
To make sure you are better than your previous self
Better than you were yesterday
To make sure you are growing every day
Developing, learning experiencing

Life is not about being perfect
It is about being happy
Not all the time
But EVERYTIME YOU CAN

Life isn’t about being right. It’s about BEING KIND.
When you have a choice to be right or to be kind, choose kindness, CHOOSE LOVE.

Life is not about noticing the negatives.
It’s about CREATING SUCH HUGE POSITIVES the NEGATIVES PALE in comparison.

Life is NOT ABOUT YOU.
Its ABOUT EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. We are all connected and all sharing challenges and struggles. Be kind, LIFT OTHERS UP, GIVE FREELY WITHOUT EXPECTING ANYTHING IN RETURN and the world will return happiness and Abundance beyond your wildest dreams.

Life ISNT ALL ABOUT MONEY - You can’t take it with you, so don’t stress about it.
This doesn’t mean you don’t deserve it or shouldn’t have it. You can create unlimited Abundance and use that to do good for others and yourself and you DO DESERVE IT, just don’t stress about it.
Money is great, but only when used with positive intentions.

Life isn’t about comparing yourself to others
Let everyone else be exactly as they are while you focus on being the BEST YOU

Your life is not defined by circumstances
Your life is not defined by what does or does not happen to you, it is defined by how you react to what happens to you. How you choose to react to the circumstances and events that arrive in your life. It’s helpful to remember challenges are just tests. Hard times are test and character builders.Never lose your spirit, because it is in our greatest challenges that our greatest strength is formed. That is when our character shines, right after the storm.

What’s really important is Who you become through all of life’s challenges.What you make and accumulate will never be a match for ️Who you are and how much happiness you bring to this world

Don’t ever forget that.You are a miracle. This world is a blessing. Life is a miracle.Life is really what you make it.

Live every day like you are blessed. Live every day as if you are grateful to simply be alive. Be happy, no matter what happens and life will be the amazing adventure it was meant to be.

Your purpose, and my wish for you is simple: TO BE HAPPY, to FIND HAPPINESS no matter what life throws at you.

Now, to begin with, I do not eavesdrop, however, I just did! Apologies for being so uncivil. I was getting dinner and couldnt help overhearing the 3 ladies sitting at the booth behind me, and what were they on about? Sperm content! Yes! Shocked me too!!

Apparently, one of them had been dating or is it shagging somebody new, and while the shagging was great, according to her, her problem was this dude's sperm flow was "a lot". She went on to say she was glad she was fixed as this dude would have had her pregnant by now...Now it isnt my business, but, this was really new to me. I mean women, talk or complain about size, duration, frequency, romantic or not... but to hear a lady go on about, just how much seed her man is spewing out of his phallus is interesting, innit?

So daughters of Eve on here, why would you complain about that?

The problem with Nigeria, regardless of ethnic group, social class, gender, religion, political party
Is simply down to the fact that WE DON'T DEEPLY &TRULY CARE about one another.
The society has such affected everyone, to the extent that, a simple courtesy costs a high price, in this case A PRECIOUS LIFE.
In developed countries, power going out like is the bane in Nigeria is cause for an emergency.I mean, all emergeNcy services would pe put on active alert and response.
In Nigeria,we just can't be bothered.Whoever is next, has the problem, forgetting that if it goes round, it will come round.
Now, this indifference is endemic from the bus conductor, the pastor, the co-drivers on the highway, Lastma, the newly elected politicians, Lastma, IKEDC.
Imagine if IKEDC would just give a heads up, perhaps via sms or a online portal, where pple can check stuff out, to ascertain, when they are about to take power, and possibly for how long it would be. It would go a long way, imagine, IKEDC had sent a memo or an sms to Gbagada hospital axis, bearing
In mind they are an essential services institution, that look, power will go out so and so, that way the hospital would be in a position to not only prepare themselves but also the relatives of the patient. I know, someone will say, where does this gal think she is, THIS IS NIGERIA!
Now that is part of the problem, how many texts dyu get a day marketing bulk sms or a useless ringtone, also, how many of NLanders visit more than once a day

Tbh,there are elements of fact in both groups,that is those who live abroad and those who live at home. I remember, months ago, I had to do business in Nigeria, now having been abroad for years,I struggled with many things, how things work, how people think, the heat and so on. Glad to not have to wear a jacket or thermals,I would hop around with my tees and jeans, try to remain local by brandishing my pidgin, and just muster all the "Nigerianess' I could remember. I was soon to find out, as much as you try, you can't hide where you have been. This is Nigeria, the average 'mekunnu' can smell foreign from 10feet away. Perception is reality in Nigeria,how you are perceived determines what you get. Those abroad are perceived in a certain way, if you live up to the perception, then the 'Twales' for some who aspire to live abroad someday, are in order; but for those who don't hold such aspirations, perhaps after many unsuccessful attempts, the animosity is apalling.
Beyond the status of where anyone lives,is the reality that Nigerians generally, have a high recognition for perceived material advantage. Nigerians would readily give preferential treatment to any Joe Blogg: with nothing upstairs but rides a high value automobile; a receptionist,driver in shell, chevron big ups, just due to perceived 'Levels'; anyone who fakes a foreign accent learnt from BGT even without ever applying to an embassy;
Its just the way Nigerians are; even out here,Nigerians create distinctions amongst themselves, I mean, those without papers, are persona non grata to those who have; and those who have readily flaunt it and want to be ascribed certain rights; It is just the way people are, and as usual over pronounced in Nigerians.

There lies the myopic and unexposed perceptions held by a vast majority of Nigerians. First of all, apart from perhaps the exuberance of youth available to anyone less than 35, there is no reason why a focussed 45year old cannot engage their experience, at the level or even better than anyone younger. Some 'NLers'(sic) are saying "start your own business" Is this 45year old willing to do that? How are we sure he hasn't tried that? Perhaps, like a few gifted people I know, he would prefer somewhere to go to and something stable at the end of the month. The possibilities are endless.
I think the challenge with Nigeria is breaking the status quo. I would employ a stable, experienced, professional 45 year old, with personal and family commitments, sowed his career wild oats and knows what he's doing rather than employ an early 20s who doesn't know what he wants to do with him or herself.
Anyways, dear op, please keep at the job search, if no one in Nigeria will hire you, perhaps you should think a change of approach or relocation. You will succeed

Pls anyone got an update on old mutual nigeria interview?
Its been ages ago
