adeduchess: When u say faucet instead of tap,

Both are correct.

Faucet na for sink, Tap na de odda ones wey dey outside....

Ohhhh boy....
I won't do this again!

Freiburger: "Balcony" instead of "Varanda"

They are both correct.

Veranda na for Bungalow/Ground Floor while Balcony na for upper floors.

K?

yuzedo: You people need to chill abeg! Diamond Bank engages in regular recruitment especially of entry-level staff. Career progression is in pyramid shape, not everyone can/will reach the top. If an institution establishes redundancy in identified staff, don't they have the right to terminate appointment? A business is established TO MAKE PROFITS, this isn't the goddamn civil service abeg, lets be objective.

The only cause for alarm will be if their benefits weren't completely paid, otherwise management reserves the right and prerogative to hire and fire as it deems fit! (in line with best labor laws/practices of course).

P.s I hold no brief for Diamond Bank, just hate to see subjective gibberish being bandied because a muthafucka with an agenda has a laptop and internet connection. The Big Corporations aren't always the bad guys, sometimes slackers abound in the system, i'll be damned if some lazy-bottom negro with a sense of entitlement feeds off my hard-work. This ain' no socialist state, bruh!

Are you bipolar?

Just askin'!

No oofeinse!

Point #1 Is a bit contendable.
Being willing to give the general population what they want and get paid for putting out "popular rubbish" may not expressly connote smartness!

Not in Naija entertainment industry it doesnt!!

Just shows how many bozos we got in this country...

^^^^^^That said, both parties are adults, if de guy wan' chop waist and de madam give am, how e take concern all of una for NL?

[quote author=P.Stacks] sick people. We plenty for nairaland.. Ur waist, ur waist.

Reminds me o f Otunba, one of my best friends, when he does such tinz and u ask him why? He always goes like : "Ogbon ah n ti je nor ni gbo gbo eh"[/quote]You mean: "Ogbón àtije náà ni gbogbo è", right?

We and dis our Yoruba wey we dey write, sef...

Abu Mikey: As much as I am christian,but doing this to a couple because they did their marriage the way the want it so as to feel happy/satisfied is arrant
[size=32pt]Rubbish!!![/size]

My dear,

Nairaland contributed to the furoré that ensued after said wedding.

I thought we should be shouting "kudos" to the pastorate of DCLM for taking disciplinary action.

If you love to live the way Deeper Life people live, join them. If you don't, leave them alone.

I an not a member of said church, but I live by the Bible-proven tenets of my church, and I know better than to criticize other churches.

In my church (RCCG) If a bride comes inappropriately dressed (as per church rules) the wedding most probably will not hold. In fact, designated female ministers will check the wedding gown days ahead.

Like I said, if you like the ways of the church you're attending, love it 100% and leave other churches to God.

Blackteeth: Only adults on Nairaland site who watch cartoons will know what is Ben-10 to reply this thread.

Only adults, parents who care what their kids watch and the effect it may have on the kids will reply to this thread.

My opinion,

Ben 10 is not ok for kids of any age, all I've seen of Ben 10 is it teaches kids they don't need their parents.

Just like the goofballs Ed, Edd n' Eddy, where there are no parents in sight, Ben10 kinda gets your kids to live in a world of their own, and trust me, you don't want a life in which your kids ignore or just tolerate you!

Couple the above with the violence, feed it to your kids and be ready to "host" a pack of sinister, individualistic teens who just tolerate you for your cash olny!

My opinion.

[quote author=CROWÉ]How it works is that those engineering graduates would come together and start up a company and approach the federal government to invest in them, help them start up and give them projects. Unless you can have solid information that there have been such groups seriously trying to do such a thing there really isn't a reason to criticize the government. Having a degree is not enough, they need an entire company with capital and equipment, something the government will probably need to help them acquire.[/quote]Oga@thetop,

Everything you've said is correct,
but the investment thing is the problem.

One man I know is one of the very few Substation Engineers below 65years old in this country. I have pestered him for years to float a company to vie for power projects.

All I can say is, after almost 8 years, he informed me just last month that he has got a FOREIGN PARTNER so he can be taken seriously.

How can a fresh graduate cope?

CFCfan: I hope Nigerian engineers will be part of the project at some stage

Most. likely as Site Engineers and definitely as Government named Project Consultants.

Hope the Consultants won't go and collect bribe sha o.

Hmmmm....

Soft drinks.....Ay?
Ok now....
Probably "soft drinks" high in ethyl alcohol (ethanol)....
Probably.
No other "soft drinks" can spontaneously combust like that.

fpeter: POLICE!!!>>>>>>Open ur eyes and read well.

Nottin do am for eye...

Na N19k 75dpi screen Alibaba Tablet tingz...

OoduaDefence: Olodo ,did you read the article at all?? They have already installed educational softwares on the tablets.The children can access and use the installed software without ever needing to be connected to the internet.This is better than Akpabio or David mark donating cars to tuface and his wife.Kudos to the Governor.

Bros, abeg help me hammer the ting put for dia brain!
Na who even tell dem say de tab fit connect internet sef?

Outsourcing jobs like web design, Engineering and Architectural design, research, technical report writing, software development / solutions, graphic design, etc requires seriousness and self training. I'm interested, but feel I'm not yet ready.
Still working on myself...

olabode89: At an xtra cost that wud hv been used to manufacture more products

Bwehehehehehe!

Nokia has plants everywhere their phones are sold, abi?

Zinox no go export go other African countries?

Ogbonaikenna: Well done son. Biafrans are proud of you.

Like, seriously?

Why e come go put am for Lagos now?

delvinmaya: Dude, thank God you mentioned ilorin, I graduated from university of ilorin. And in ilorin, you have two types of muslims, the fanatic and the moderate. Either way, I have not said I trust them, what I have said is the experience I had with them. All in all, I wish you got my drift. There are the conservatives and the fundamentalist. Each with his own opinion. However, you have to respect others opinion and stop throwing tantrums at the slightest provocations.

Guy, I understand you perfectly.
However you need to know one thing; Moslems are fiercely defensive of their religion, radical or otherwise. I have experienced this on many occasions.
I once told someone who said I am a christian by mistake because I was born of christian parents that you become a christian when you are born again according to Jesus in John 3:3. Next thing was insults and he began charging me.
Another almost attacked me because he said Allah has no son and I replied that Jehovah has one- Jesus.

delvinmaya: So the britons will now invade nigeria, on what grounds. Like the americans did after the failed mutallab attempt. Really, too much conspiracy movies and books make your thinking amorous kinda

Lol, not invade Nigeria, no, not at all!
However, ask yourself this:
Where in west Africa does NATO have a fully operational military base?
Where will they love to have one?

delvinmaya: @bingils, lemme point something out to you Sir, in Africa, there's a totally different meaning to tragedy. The African concept of tragedy is that one offends, but all suffer. The truth herein is this, muslims are people I relate with. I have arguments with, play, laugh, and the muslims I know put a shame to the way the religion is been portrayed by terrorists, but the actions of the extreme few over-shadows those of the good ones. Take Nigeria as a case study, before the issue of Boko Haram even came up, there was a view of muslims, as savages. Almost every other year, we all would wake up to hear about religious crisis, christians being killed for their beliefs. Then the boko boys came along to spice the party. You have to admit yourself, that right from time, your religion has not had good representation.
Makes you wonder if there were no radical christians and why they have not been fighting God's battle for him

Talk religion with your Moslem "friends" and see how fast they will turn on you!

I speak from experience. I once asked a Moslem guy if he'll kill me if Jihad is declared in our town (Ilorin). He didn't say yes, but he didn't say no either. I got the message loud and clear. That was an "average, university educated" guy, o.

If una no fit imagine say na inside job, just wait make we begin see drone for sky for Naija.

These Brits want to come back and control us. How better a way than in the guise of "Global war against terror"?

Someone needs to wake up to reality. FFK might be peremptory in his write up, but I wouldn't rush to castigate him.

On a serious note, I am a Civil Engineer, and for once I will like to have a phone my bricklayer boys will not end up buying secondhand after 3 months!

Concrete on my mind...

Ignatio: Finally a replacement for Nokia 3310.

And I told 9ice his song "o jabo ko fo" came out too soon.
How e go come remix am now?
"I am B15..."

Enegod: what is wrong with mbaise ppl?!

Not Mbaise alone, Bro...

All of Nigeria!

Biafra, Arewa, Oodua,
even amongst sons of the same father,
you'll find our problem: selfishness!

PortHarcourtBoy: ...Meanwhile her mates dey Naija dey open threads such as: "10 ways to know your boyfriend loves you"

Most of her mates in America are all about boys too.
In fact, I'm sure her high school cheerleaders must have called her a nerdy loser sometime or the other.

divinelove: Small pikin way say him mama no go sleep hw him self go sleep.

Seriously i neva knew boko haram were this weak n they didnt accept amnesty. Dts y i wholehearted support soe, sometimes before peace war is very necessary.

I hail nigerian army

No guerrilla group in the world can face an army in conventional warfare.

They rely on stealth and the element of surprise.

ajanaku2: There are certain times some religious tenets just need to be eschewed and relegated! Times like winning the Bundesliga title!

I really don't blame Boateng...He was overwhelmed by the rapturous moments...

And what's with Ribery with his "holier-than-thou" attitude?...No be the same Ribery dem charge for sleeping with an underage girl sometimes last year!

Alcohol is forbidden.

Paedophilia? errrrrmmmm...

Now, before we begin to take this wonderful thread off the point, we need to define introversion in itself.

An introvert will, given a choice, keep to his or her self as much as possible, but that doesn't make them shy or aloof or snobs.

I love this thread, the original post is mostly true. Get an introvert to share his dream or goals with you and you'll be drowned in words.

I increasingly feel introverts are, in part, made. My idea of a day out is definitely not to go to some noisy place with loud music, and so my pals think I'm "uncool". As a result, I find I'm alone most of the time I have a choice of how to pass time.

An assignment to all Nlanders: you can discover real introverts on NL. They (we) are the ones who post sparingly, but, when they do post, write a lot on the topics they find interesting.

Thanks for reading.

The topic is interesting.

However, I must point out that most posts are not medical fallacies, but superstitions.

It's not good, what's bad is bad.

If adults and a lot of teenagers have X-rated stuff on their phones, tabs and laptops, we still have a problem. Are we not seeing crazy guys raping girls and recording the acts? Why do you think this is happening?

As if that's not bad enough, we want to have it on TV!!

Those of us who think it doesn't make a difference are mistaken. It's a whole lot worse!

Now our 4 to 10 year olds can have access to pornography right in our living room!

Just great!! Progress, abi?

Air strikes should not even be mentioned at all.

What follows air strikes is mass exodus of refugees, inevitably infiltrated by said guerrillas (who the Govt is trying to flush out in the first place!), who use the refugee flow to spread to other areas.

We then find ourselves with BH cells launching attacks from refugee camps, with loads of innocents as hostages/human shields, and no short supply of almaajiris to indoctrinate and use for cannon fodder.. ..

Ohhhh.. ..Boy.. .

Two words: Collateral Damage!

Not our forté in this country.
Our leaders don't give a fig about the "little people"

One sadistic proverb I so much hate and which has to be wiped off our psyche is
"When two elephants fight. .."
