I know police cannot just see you and shoot you. Something must have happened. A brawl.

even if there was a brawl, they dont have the right to just shoot at a harmless citizen. they lack respect for human lives. and its a shame the DPO wants to cover up the whole scenario

If there is anything like next life, I must be a footballer when I come back whalahi! Money talks..

Am kind of certain u re in my shoes where our parents corrupted our minds and said footballers were dropouts and riffraffs. Now rejected stones are the corner stones

The watch features the words 'La Decima' and is engraved with each player's name, Ronaldo's initials and shirt number 'CR7'

Most of the staff at Real Madrid, players included, share the sentiment that Cristiano Ronaldo himself is a gift to the legendary club after all of his goals, assists and match-winning performances over the past few seasons.

Carlo Ancelotti's side celebrated their tenth European Cup win last season with Ronaldo scoring a late penalty in a 4-1 win over Atletico Madrid.

The trophy success, known as 'La Decima', coupled with Ronaldo's individual achievements have prompted the Portuguese star to buy each and every one of his team-mates a brand new gift - worth 8,200 euros/£6496/$10,215

The Bulgari watch is engraved with the player's name, Ronaldo's initials and shirt number 'CR7' while it also features the words 'La Decima' as a reminder of the squad's terrific Champions League success last season.

29-year-old Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo gave his team-mates their new watches before they travelled to their hotel ahead of tonight's La Liga match against Almeria, with defender Alvaro Arbeloa quick to boast about his new accessory on Twitter.

Contrary to the rumour that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has settled for the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Ameachi, as the running mate to its presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, it can be confirmed that there is no such thing for now.

Although a few of the governors met earlier Friday, the meeting, it was learnt, was not in any way connected with the choice of who becomes the presidential running mate.

On the contrary, a source at the meeting said the meeting which held at the instance of the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, was a routine parley of the APC election planning committee usually hosted by Amaechi.

Those at the meeting included Fashola, Amaechi, Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, former Kwara State Governor, Senator Bukola Saraki, National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Muhammed, and Hon. Dino Melaye amongst other national officers of the APC.

Whilst the party leadership is however said to be concluding plans on the choice of the running mate, it is yet to come up with anyone from amongst those already shortlisted.

Meanwhile, there's a rumour that Buhari picked Tinubu as his running mate according to Vanguard. Let's keep our fingers crossed though.

Absolutely you lack manners. You called me a thief when I didn't steal from you. You can rant on as long as you want. I got this as a BC and decided to post it cos i loved it. I never claimed to write it in the first place

seunowokade:
Jidefido stole my dis write up yesterday sometime after 9pm and d admin put it on front Page... Abah

Hey bruv, I am sorry but really I didn't copy anything from you. Had no idea you had posted it. So I didn't steal it pls

1. My son, if you keep spending on a woman and she never asked you if you’re saving or investing, and she keeps enjoying the attention, don’t marry her.

2. My son, a woman could be a good wife to you, some could be a good mother to your children but if you’ve found a woman like a mother to you, your children and your family, please don’t let her go.

3. My son, don’t confine the position of your wife to the kitchen, where did you get that from? Even in our days, we had farm-lands where they worked every morning... that was our office.

4. My son, if I tell you that you’re the head of the house, don’t look at your pocket; take charge.

5. My son, if you want to have a long life, let your wife be in-charge of your salary, it will be difficult for her to spend it when she’s aware of the home needs and bills to pay but if it’s in your care, she will keep you asking even when all has been spent...

6. My son, don’t ever beat your woman, the pain in her body is nothing to be compared to the wound on her heart and that means you may be in trouble living with a wounded woman.

7. My son, when you marry, if you live a bachelor-life with your wife, you will soon be single again.

8. My son, in our days, we had many wives and many children because of our large farm-lands and many harvests, there are hardly any land for farming anymore, so embrace your woman closely.

9. My son, under the cocoa tree that I did meet your mother could be your eateries and restaurants of nowadays, but remember, the closet thing we did there was to embrace each other.

10. My son, don’t be carried away when you start making more money, instead of spending your money on those tiny leg grlss that never knew how hard you worked to get it, spend it on that woman that stood by you even when there was no money, not those always asking for more.

11. My son, when I threw little stones or whistled at the window of your mum father’s house, to call her out, it was because I missed her so much.

12. My son, whenever your girl changes, if it's because of money, then she wont be a good wife.

13. My son, your mother, rode the bicycle with me before I bought that tortoise car outside there, any woman that won’t endure with you in your little beginning should not enjoy your riches.

14. My son, don’t compare your wife to any woman, make her see reasons to change until u get tired.

15. My son, there is this thing you people call feminism, well, if a woman claim to have equal right with you in the house, divide all the bills into two equal parts, take one part and ask her to start paying the other part.

16. My son, I met your mother a virgin and I took more yams to her father, if you don’t meet your wife a virgin, don’t blame her, what I didn’t tell you is that our women had prestige.

17. My son, I didn’t send your sisters to school because I was foolish like many to think a female child won’t extend my family name, please don’t make that mistake.

18. My son, your mother have once locked up the cloth I was wearing and almost tore it because she was angry, I did not raise my hand to beat her because of a day like this, so that I can be proud to tell you that I never for once beat your mother.

19. My son, in our days, our women had more of natural beauty, though I wouldn’t lie to you, some had minor painting of their appellation mostly on their arms, the ones you people now call tattoo, but don’t forget that they didn’t expose any part of their body like your women of nowadays.

Besea:
Ah! Yes o. I disliked my husband at first sight and i swore to prove him wrong that he couldn't get any girl he wanted. Two years down the line and I'm his wife. Don't ask me what changed.

I am asking now! What changed?

I am disappointed in him. with all the money he has in this world, its dick he wants to suck and Bleep. Women, entice these men well now. shake what yor mama gave you

Anytime anyday, I will prefer a nagging wife to a cheating wife. Though I don't pray to have both but if I do, Omo na nagging wife oooo

Givemejoy: First and foremost, you have been out of the labour market and not up to date with happening and events in the labour market. The way you left it is not the same, it is more competitive and tight..... I strongly believe you gonna get one paying what you asking for but on the blunt side, you make me laugh 110k in this present Nigeria. *my thoughts*.

I may be out of labour market but am not out of touch of its competitiveness. Trust me on that. There is one thing I believe in and it's the favour of God. I ask for nothing less that 110k cos I know my worth and it's possible. I can't belittle myself for peanuts. In this present day Nigeria, it's very possible as far as God is on my side. Thanks though

I got my current job through this medium and I may be lucky this time. So people will say I should apply to companies, my 'sent' folder is full of application. I am taking my battle a notch higher. I have plans for the future and my current job can't help achieve those plans.
Nigerians, help me achieve my dreams! Thank you

Networking has a bad reputation as a forum for superficial small talk. Yet real networking is about establishing mutually beneficial, lasting connections, one person at a time. And with my modern approach to networking, even you can shine and thrive at a board meeting, convention, or free-floating cocktail party.
The reason so many of us hate networking – and profess to stink at it – is because we’ve been futilely following the wrong rules. Rules that only work for a paltry 15 per cent of the population and require us to be phony – a sure fire way to short circuit.
This new and improved definition of networking means being true to you; capitalising on your strengths, and tossing aside ‘rules’ that don’t match your temperament. The book’s self-assessment identifies your networking style. However, here are a few titbits designed especially for you:
1. Be True To You
You are better qualified to be you than anyone else. Stamp out networking advice that demands you behave in ways that drain you. Harness natural abilities as networking strengths rather than liabilities. Like to listen, not talk? Do it. Energise alone? Go for it. Prefer one-on-one conversation? Arrange it.
2. Realise Less Is More
Be selective. Go to fewer events and be more focused when attending – rather than dragging your weary self to every business opportunity and showing up like a networking prisoner.
3. Plan Your First Impression
Cognitive scientists say it can take up to 200 times the amount of information to undo a first impression as it takes to make one. Who has that kind of spare time? Not you! Show up with the best version of you, every time. You never know who you are meeting.
4. Volunteer
Many of us dislike networking events because we don’t know what to say to a group of strangers. Free floating through a room is a fast track to free-floating anxiety. What to do? Simple. Volunteer to help out. Voila! You have a purpose and something to talk about. Even better, you position yourself as someone helpful – proving how indispensable you are rather than telling everyone about it.
5. Get in Line
This strategy is brilliant. You walk into a networking event with nowhere to go and no one to glom onto. What’s a desperate networker to do? Get in a queue. Any queue. The longer the better!

Why? A queue gives you a place to put your body and a temporary purpose in the world. There are only two people to talk with – the person in front and person behind you. There is a reward – whatever is given out at the front of the queue. And a natural ending – the front of the queue. Nice meeting you! Ta-ta!
6. Set Challenging yet Achievable Networking Goals
Well-formed goals vary by personality. At a networking event, task yourself with meeting one or two people, not a dozen. And follow up (see #10!).
7. Show Don’t Tell
Rather than boring others with a canned advert of how marvellous you are, demonstrate live-time your fabulous self. Be useful and gracious. Greet others with a warm smile and leap at every chance to be helpful.
8. Research
Rather than wandering cavernous expo halls at industry events, do your pre-work. Learn in advance what organisations are of particular interest. Spend more time with fewer people. Impress key targets with your knowledge of who they are and why you are a perfect match.
9. Listen
Ever sense your remarks just shoot off a cliff and crash to the ground? Who needs that kind of pressure? Instead focus on those around you, asking thoughtful questions. Network via a sincere interest in others rather than promoting your fine self.
10. Follow-Up or Forget About It
If you’re not following up, you’re not networking! We forget half of what we hear within 48 hours. Write personalised follow-up within two days or risk having your brilliant remarks erased permanently from the minds of those you wowed. If you’re not following up, you’re not networking.

this is a stale news now.

LillyAnne: Live and let live

On point! If only we can all accept the way every other person is, this world will really be beautiful place

Pope Francis spoke with Argentinian weekly “Viva” to commemorate the anniversary of his early pontificate, and in the interview he offered several tips for finding one of life's most elusive and desired treasures: happiness.
Speaking with interviewer Pablo Calvo, a longtime acquaintance of his, Pope Francis identified 10 tips for finding happiness that involve both personal and community development. His tips might not reflect a simple recipe for personal growth, but they offer insight into some of the pope's own values.


1. Let everyone be themselves.
 “The Romans have a saying, which can be taken as a point of reference,” Pope Francis said. “They say: Campa e lascia campà (Live and let live). That’s the first step to peace and happiness.”

2. Give yourself tirelessly to others.
 “If one gets tired, one runs the risk of being egoistic, and stagnant water is the first to be corrupted.”

3. Walk softly.
"In 'Don Segundo Sombra' there is a very beautiful thing, a man who looks back on his life. He says that in youth he was a rocky stream that carried everything ahead; As an adult, he was a running river, and that in old age, he felt movement, but it was "remansado" [dammed; slowed]. I would use this image of the poet and novelist Ricardo Güiraldes, the last adjective “remansado”. The ability to move with kindness and humility, calmness of life."

4. Be available to your kids and family.
"Consumerism has led to the anxiety of losing," the pope said, which has pushed people to spend less time at home and more time pursuing wealth. But Pope Francis said people should invest more time in "healthy leisure":
“It is hard. The parents go to work and come back when the children are asleep. [But] it must be done.”

5. Spend Sundays (or a day of rest) with family.
 This connects back to the fourth point -- make the intention to set time aside for loved ones, despite the pressures of work.

6. Work towards empowering people
 The pope discussed the need to find creative ways to help young people secure employment so that they may feel the “dignity of bringing home the bacon.”

7. Care for the environment
For this Pope Francis echoed his earlier remarks that we must protect God's "special gift" of Creation.

 8. Move on
 Pope Francis encouraged finding ways to more quickly more forward after negative experiences. Forgiveness is key for this, as is having the willingness to let the next moment be better than the last.

9. Respect others' opinions
This ties back to the first point. We won't agree with everyone's beliefs or lifestyles, but that does not inherently make them any less valid.

10. Actively strive for peace
“War destroys. And we must cry out for peace. Peace sometimes gives the idea of stillness, but it is never stillness. It is always an active peace. I think that everyone must be committed in the matter of peace, to do everything that they can, what I can do from here. Peace is the language we must speak."
Can you get behind a Pope Francis-style happiness?

olasmith10: Dem full computer village.. immediately u wan enter under d bridge.. na so one con meet me: fyn boy u wan tatoo, u wan pink lips.. na der shock grip me.. PINK LIPS.. heeebaaaa

It happened to me December 7. Was going for a friend's wedding in Ikeja when out of the blues, a guy just came out and asked me almost the same thing ' do I want pink lips? That was wen I knew that having pink lips can be surgically done. I was in great shock. I knew babe's love pink lips but never knew it can be done. Just be licking ur lips often it will turn red sef

Out of work? Out of luck! That is probably how you feel as you sit poised in front of your computer, hour after hour, day after day, submitting one application after another. Maybe you even look forward to getting job rejection emails (or the occasional mailed ones) because it is SOME response at least. Even if you are still working, but engaging in a job search to beat a lay-off, you may feel a strong sense of rejection when not selected for an interview or offered a job after an interview – especially if it has been a few months or you have had a few interviews without an offer.
Think about how you feel about your current situation as objectively as possible to better plan for your future. Having a plan and some next steps can go a long way toward helping you out of this negative spiral. So, what else can you do? Here are a few tips for dealing with job rejection:

1. Set Realistic Short- And Long-Term Goals
Long-term goals give you something to focus on, to look forward to. Short-term goals ensure you are moving in the right direction and moving toward your long term goals. Daily goals will get you out of bed in the morning.

2. Do Your Best
Do you approach your job search by sitting in front of your laptop, hour after hour, searching for openings and submitting countless applications? Maybe you have completely given up and are just going through the motions, not even convinced you are a good candidate? Take the time to try to match your resume or application details to what the employer is looking for. That way, you will be one of the few selected for an interview (and hired!). The extra effort and time has value, and they can help you will feel like you are really doing something meaningful.

3. Change Things Up
Don’t do the same thing every day. Search for jobs one day, follow up another, identify companies to cold call once a week, network one day, and visit companies in person periodically. Don’t forget to eat, sleep, get dressed, exercise and go outside every day. Make your own schedule and stick to it!

4. Make Sure You Have the Skills You Need
How hard can job search be? Believe me – you don’t know it all; no one does. Read blogs, articles, and/or books about career planning and job searching. Explore your field or potential occupations to determine if you need more skills to be competitive. Read articles related to your desired job or about job searching and interviewing every day.

5. Garner Support
You may already feel bad if you are not contributing financially to your household. This makes it hard to ask for help. But you can’t do it alone. Ask for help outside of the family if need be. Reach out friends, ex-co-workers, and church or community members. You need someone to listen to your ideas and give you feedback.

6. Network
Chances are you probably know how to network, but maybe you are too dispirited or you don’t see the value in it. Nonetheless, it is a necessity and can result in your next job if you make the time and effort to contact and maintain connection with others. Join a civic group or one at your local career placement office, or volunteer. It is most important to start and continue to get out there and meet people – maintain your connections!

7. Get Creative
If you are just going through the motions or are focused on replacing the job you lost you might be missing opportunities. If you feel that you MUST have a specific position or salary before considering a job you may be missing out on some great prospects! Purchase a real newspaper (or look at every job board posting within a 20 mile area or less) and look at every job. If you do this intermittently, you will have a better indication of what jobs are offered and you may discover a new direction that is perfect for you!

8. Be Realistic
You may own a home. You may be comfortable in your current location and may have loved ones near. But if there are fewer opportunities, you may also want to think about moving to where there are jobs. Think about places in that you would like to live or parts of the country where people you know currently live. Search for jobs in those areas periodically to see if it makes sense to start a job search in another area in addition to your current one.
By employing these tips, you will reinforce the fact that you are doing everything you can to improve your circumstances, boost your self-confidence, and put you in a position to get noticed by more employers for more positions. Give it a try – it can only help. Good luck!

CyberWolf: I don't know the kind of training our own police have..must to make everything public?...they suppose to work undercover and apprehend this people and their sponsors...job well done anyway...

This is where u got it wrong. Everything isn't public. But it is necessary for them to tell Nigerians to be on the look out. That's d standard procedure. Look at this scenario where the US warns it's citizens not to go to certian places or countries based on intelligence reports. Now to travel in the UK, you will be searched throughly and the citizens have been told and are cooperative.
So bruv, there is nothing wrong in what the police did

all of you are attacking el-rufai. i am not holding briefs for anybody but we should all look at his statement and find out whether its true or not. these people have more information than we do. OBJ raised it in his letter that GEJ is raising 1,000 snipers for elections. as a former president, we must accept that he receives regular security reports and he is a military man. el-rufai cant just come out and make such accusations, he must have his reasons and must have seen the signs. we shouldnt say cos he must ve done some pretty bad things in the past he cant tell us what i happening. there are 2 things involved, is either he is saying the truth or he is lying. on a personal note, i believe something is going on. it might not be GEJ, it could be elements within his government who are planning such.
