Wow. impressive!
You remind me of my youthful days.
Anyway, where are you based?
Engineering company or nothing?
I can read this stuff all day.

Thank you. Based in Benin City.

No. Even though I would prefer an engineering company if given the choice ( for several reasons which "ease of IT defense come January" is one of) it is not a must for me. I am open to exciting, new challenges. Thank you.

Dude you write well.

You are not the only one hooked unto this platform, who did not apply for NNPC job...una full ground..

This thread (and all previous NNPC threads) is a psychologist's dream. The intricacies, banters, attacks, anxieties, laughter and wild emotions..is more entertaining than a reality show.

The good thing is that, many lifelong friendships will be started here, heck, people will even find love!

Stay tuned, and enjoy the thread while it lasts.

PS: You write well, really. You will really do well in novels/diaries/literature section of Nairaland.

Ciao!

Spot on. The thread is a goldmine. So many things to learn from.

Thank you. Always found the typical novel-ish type of writing boring for me. I tend to lean more towards the creative side of things where one can freestyle in any direction the spirit flows, without worrying about the technicalities and placement of an Oxford comma.

Erm.. I just realized it would be totally foolish to have the audience of such a diverse, high-achieving group and not shoot my shot. My helper could be anywhere.

Pls I'm a 400level Production Engineering student in need of IT placement. I'm passionate and hardworking. I'm a firm believer that anything can be achieved. My drive is not limited by the boundaries of physical contraints.

My drive for excellence in whatever I do can be likened to Thanos' determination in #Avengers - Infinity war# to assemble all the 6 infinity stones together irrespective of where each was. I cannot promise you a 7-page resume, but I'm a critical thinker and my affinity for problem solving will be refreshing to any organization or body. I will learn German in 2 days if that's what it comes to.

I dabble with creative writing and mobile photography when I'm bored, this clearly means I am an easily inspired individual. Important of all, it means I have a keen eye for tiny, important details that can easily go unnoticed.

Having been a two-time silver and one-time Engineering Dean's cup gold medalist, I understand the importance and value of team-work and being a team player. I am humble, willing to learn, and always open to new ideas.

The universe is always in a state of increasing chaos and entropy, so I understand that sometimes things will not go as planned. I understand this -- this is why I can still remain calm and perform well under pressure. I once held my urine for 4hours(due to lack of a safe & clean restroom close-by) and went to check my result. Even though I had an F in a 3-unit Mechanics of Machines course, my boxers remained dry.

I have good communication skill. As much as i cannot promise to be an encyclopedia of all knowledge, I am well-rounded and can comfortably hold my own. We could effortlessly discuss some things currently happening in the country, flash-back to the circumstances surrounding the last general elections if that's what you want, and smoothly transition to why Jon snow stabbed Deanerys Targaryen.

Lastly, I have a propensity to leave things better than I met them. The same will apply here even if I get a placement in a shrine.

Thank you

Dear helper, if you are here, pls locate me.

Hazard is now looking fit

I noticed that too. Looking slimmer

My Treasure hunt for atleast a decent place of Internship (penultimate production engineering student) lured me to the unfamiliar terrains of Jobs/Vacancies section. And before I could learn where and where not to step foot, I tripped and came crashing down hard into this place -- fortunately.


As I was collecting myself from the ground, slapping dust from my bruises and trying to make my way back up from where I had fallen, I looked around. Not bad. So I decided to explore a little.

Thank God I did.

I've so far read many of the pages - of course not all, not even close -- but more than enough to satisfy my curiosity. It's great to see a lot of high achievers who've done really well for themselves in life --- all made possible by the work they've put in and maybe some interventions here and there from the universe. Nice!!

I am inspired. I truly wish you all greater heights. As Newton was only able to see further by standing on the shoulders of Giants who came before him, I pray & hope you guys become giants in your own accord, so others coming in line can also stand on your shoulders too.

Anyways, i have since forgotten about my Treasure hunt (the main thing that even brought me to this section in the first place..can you imagine?) and become a silent member of this thread. And just like some of you, I have permutated and combinated too, on the correlation between TF & APL.

Like some, or all of you, I am tensed, too( can you imagine?) . I am anxiously waiting for the APLs to start dropping too, like it was mine. It's now as if i took the CBT too. As if I went to the Towers too. It's as if I applied, too. This is crazy.. lmao..

I wish you guys the very best though, and hope the APL favors all of you...

Ciao..

Mehn... I know this is just pre-season but something in my stomach is beginning to turn. Zidane basically padded mary-kay ontop the foundation of last season's same tactical make-up and that slight re-touch is supposed to fix everything?

What scares me is not even the woeful performance so far, it's the fact that our so-called "remodelled" team will still be bearing 99% of the faces that caused us mayhem throughout last season.
Scary!!

And as for our game against Athletico, when I woke up in the early hours of today and saw the score notification, I was like, oh well, atleast we lost on penalties...

Little did I know I didn't even know wah izz goin on haq haq haq.. ... chaiii

hawksford:
Hello Ksslib

I saw your comments on a thread about Nysc experience in Kano (2016)

I'm Yoruba and I actually plan to serve there, but I'm shooting for the best experiences, can you kindly reach me on whatsapp 08106920264

I don't know if you'd like to drop your number, so I've dropped mine. 

Thanks
Kay.

Hi hawksford, I cannot remember the exact details of the comment you saw given that , just like you said, it was way back in 2016.

However, I am not sure I can be of tangible help with regards having the best NYSC experience in Kano because I am still a student yet to experience NYSC and secondly I do not live in Kano.

sigh... Life...

May your kind soul rest in eternal peace..

Ramsey Bolton: If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention .

Tyrion: Our producers D & D do not keep prisoners of happy endings for long. I suppose there's a crude sense of justice to this. We betrayed his warning & hoped it burns. Now Ramsey's ashes can tell the ashes of all our wasted years, "See, I told you".

My baby had no sensible reason for her actions. I was looking forward to some sort of explanation that with technical argument, can partially absolve her of some gravity of the atrocity the writers made her commit in King's Landing. Instead we got a senseless speech about anti-slavery movement to liberate WOMEN & CHILDREN, the same women & children....wait for it... you roasted just three minutes ago. The madness they tried to potray here during her entire talk with Jon looked so odd & forced that they ended up making it clear that the Danerys character was clearly being held hostage by the taliban writers & producers.

Arya has been in a critical state of coma almost throughout this entire season. Her finger only managed to flinch when she killed the Night King, before finally giving up the ghost. Even in her death, the producers still managed to convince her spirit to turn from a devoted assassin into a Travel blogger.

Arya has just made admission entrance exam into the House of Many Faces much more difficult. Now even if dem behead your Papa, Mama, and entire village, you must still write jamb. Jaqen H'ghar will be bending his head in shame cos clearly, Vhalar Cant-do-this!

Wow so It turns out Bran can actually see the future. He saw when HBO approached David Beans & David Waste? He knew what was going to happen all along. That morafucka!! He knew. He knew our hopes for a befitting GoT will be crippled at the end, and not even a Prequel can Wheel away 8 years of disappoinment.

So grey-worm thinks the solution to every problem in life lies in his unsullied ability to squeeze his face until he starts looking like rottweiler. For all they've been through together, knowing how much the Iron Throne meant to Dany, both of them losing Missendie in the process & everything, Grey-worm expressed how much Dany's death by betrayal meant to him by folding both hands behind his back, taking two steps backwards and ......wait for it... squeezing his face like goddamn rottweiler.

For somebody who has proven he'll do anything for his Queen, even if it means breaking the rules, I was surprised to see Jon in his cell looking unruffled & unblemished. The Queen-slayer was looking so fresh. They even allowed him grow his beard until he started looking like a Medivial sugar-daddy. Little wonder those wilding bitches couldn't take their eyes off him when he was released.

So wait!!!! My baby didn't even get to sit on the Iron Throne, her finger only brushed the edge, but Ser Bronn, the Naira-marley of the 7 kingdoms gets to sit on the Council? Wow.. wow!!

The only note-worthy accolades so far, goes to the cinematography department. Jesus Christ!! The cinematography for some scenes in the previous episode - The Bells - and this one, were simply out of this world. Some scenes were absolutely glorious, stunning and nailed to extraterrestrial perfection. Damn!!

The main culprits, however, D & D, ended up making Game of Thrones look like a particular character --- because at the end, everything was dumb & senseless ...I couldn't make Sansa it.

Lord knows season 8 has been underwhelming, not necessarily because it's the worst thing on TV(not even close), but majorly due to the bitter fact that it has become a shocking deviant from the sunflower that once captivated the whole world.

Lord knows I'll probably never forgive D & D for shape-shifitng my baby from a growing, maturing & compassionate leader into the Mad queen so sudden & fast that the death of her character development came like premature ejaculation. Never saw that coming!

Lord knows I'm still burning from how Jon snow melted under the intense heat of bad writing. Even the Lord of light cannot undo this knife to the heart. There was a time when Jon was "hands-down" my favorite character but now?..... I don't want it

Lord knows they ruined Tyrion for me. Once upon a time, I counted myself lucky & privileged to watch this man speak. Today he has become short of wits & wisdom, and descended so low that his character is as hollow as his favorite chalice of wine.

This is the height...for somebody who once stood tall. A sad irony that he wasn't able to dwarf his previous achievements as the seasons progressed. Tyrion refused to grow. What a pity.

Lord knows I've detached my emotions from the season finale and made peace with the possible inevitability of a heart-wrenching "wtf!! this-does-not-even-make-sense" ending. Lord knows.

Lord knows... Lord knows ... lord knows.... there's alot to talk & complain about, BUT take a moment and pause --- The final episode of GoT will air in a few hours and that's bye bye!! Bye bye to Dragons, everything!!!

You will never get back this moment. Never. So maybe you should pause and take a moment to truly appreciate what has been an amazing journey, an amazing 8 years of being part of something truly spectacular & breathtaking.

This is your moment and nobody should take it away from you, not even D & D( complains can fully resume with fire & brimstone immidiately the final episode airs . Me sef go join ) .

This is your chance to look back at where it all began & enjoy goddamnnn moment -- from Bran falling from that tower, the beheading of Ned stark, The red wedding etc to where we currently are. This is your chance to truly experience the highlight of your 8 years of emotional investment. You will never get this moment back. Bleep D & D.. You should enjoy it. This is your moment!!

First picture:
Here, Johnny boy cannot control his emotions during the round-table final read of Game of thrones finale, while Sansa looks at him satisfyingly like Patience Ozokwor in her prime... What da hell did they make my Johnny boy do?

Second picture:
My baby hugs D.B Weiss after her FINAL SCENE in game of thrones and whispers, " thank God say man no be God... coman make me mad in real life make we see".

Third Picture:
My baby looks at the ground after her final scene in game of thrones. She looks emotional & sad. Here, my baby is seen looking like a lost soul floating through the celestial fabrics of time & space. Poor baby, she needs a hug.

Fourth Picture:
A female director tears up on set after my baby's final scene in Game of thrones.

Here, the victim in White can clearly be seen fighting back tears as she wonders if Bran will be merciful enough to warg her back to the exact moment she started watching game of thrones so she can change her mind & do something meaningful with her life instead.

Sterope:
Shock value to undermine the quality of GOT. Well, they got one thing right.

I should be glad I don't watch star wars. I can't stand those two.

Same here. I don't watch/never watched any Star wars.

Lol. Seems like those two really did you dirty . .. Who is/are your fav character(s)?

Sterope:
Episode after episode, they keep ruining the show. Initially, I was okay with George borrowing things from the show but now, he shouldn't even try it.

I really hope those two never get involved in another TV show ever again. One hoped they would have listened with Season 7 but they had to ruin Season 8 too They are going to get a lot well deserved blacklash for this season.

The annoying part is George may never complete his book.

Yea, they're getting lots, lots, lots & lots of backlash from every corner that it's beginning to look like a " D & D against the world" scenario.

I don't blame angry fans though because atimes some things don't just make sense and it's as if D & D deliberately try to rile people up just to keep the conversation going because like they say, no publicity is negative in show biz. I'm guessing they'll want to stick to this shock-value approach at the expense of EVERYTHING, especially in the ending, so that GOT will be debated & talked about possibly forever & ever..

As for that wish they never get involved in another TV show, oops!!! D & D are actually going to join a Star wars trilogy project as executive producers/writers alongside one Rian guy when GOT ends(maybe that's why they don't care anymore like they used to).

They finalized a deal not too long ago to Produce a new TV series for Star wars.

GrabHisBalls:
I don't get. They were kissing, and while he was trying to undre$s her, she went cold with a stern look. At that point, it's safe to say she pulled away first. He only reciprocated by walking away.

No.

Go back to exactly 26: 36s , focus on Dany's left hand. You'll see she was trying to wrap her left hand around his neck when he shoved it away & ended the kiss.

GrabHisBalls:
Dany did. What happened?

Jon did.

Vivipop:
I wanted to get clarity on that too. I had to watch it like six times. I know Danny was unfastening her buttons and Jon was helping her do so, then all of a sudden, in the heat of the moment, they both pulled away, but why? Jon couldn't look Danny in the eyes for more than two seconds as though he is ashamed or guilty of something... Another angle is this, during the heat of the moment, Danny was trying to unfasten her buttons while Jon was trying to do the same to her too. Danny unfastening her buttons could denote she is in control and wants to be the boss, Jon unfastening the same buttons could also denote he too wants to be in control and the boss, things got tangled up as both wanted to be on top, knowing what they both had in mind at that time unsettled them and mad the whole thing feel weird... No wonder Danny said, "I wished you didn't tell me, I would have been happy by now"...Wht do I even know self?

Actually I knew the heated passion ended abruptly because of the aunty- nephew revelation that was still fresh in the air.

What I wanted to know so badly was who pulled away first. You're right, the scene was confusing. At first it looked like they both did at the same time. From another angle it looked like Jon did. From another angle it looked like Dany did. Her statement implied she did. But the immidiate disappointment on her face when the kiss ended implied Jon did.

Well, D & D have confirmed Jon did. Jon pulled away from the kiss.

Another puzzle that had me rewatching a particular scene almost hundred times because it is very important -----who pulled away from the kiss?

Dany or Jon?

Got my answer from D & D yesterday, too.

Hmmmn, interesting.

I kept wondering why D & D didn't do the usual talking/explanation after the credits for Episode 4 like they did for other episodes. I thought the file I downloaded wasn't complete so I streamed online, same thing.

I later saw it yesterday on Twitter.

When they were explaining how Dany was caught by surprise resulting in Rhaegal's death, do you know what they said?

They said, and I quote , "Dany kind of forgot about the Iron fleet"

Wtf!!! How can Dany forget about the Iron fleet? Was this not factored in & discussed during battle strategy the morning before she left for King's landing?

How can Dany FORGET about the Iron fleet? What da!!!

Guys, am I nitpicking here ... or yeye dey smell.. ?

Ksslib:
Arya to John: "I'm defending our family, so is she(Sansa)"

Jon: "I'm her family too " .. **( the brief pause, the look on Jon's face before he said this was sad.. like really really sad it touched me)

Arya: "Don't forget that"

*Earlier on*

Dany to Johnny boy: " She doesn't need to be my friend, but I'm her queen, if she can't respect me...... " *dothrakis interrupt before she completes statement**

I just hope the producers are not smoking the same weed I'm smoking, ELSE ........

Arya is forced to defend her family(Sansa) from Dany. Johnny boy is forced to defend his NEW family too. Arya somehow kills Dany. Johnny boy - as painful as it was - kills Arya in the process too. Sansa kills Jon in the process too. War is over. All hail the new queen Sansa.

*Two days later after the final episode*

The whole world turns upside down, chaos everywhere. Riots in the streets. Donald Trump resigns. There's a national manhunt for the producers of game of thrones. They seek asylum in Venezuela.

*Two years later, the world is still yet to recover*

But there's good news. Scientists at Stanford have catalysed a serum called Life-bringer that wipes certain parts of the memory. Military helicopters deliver life-bringer to every major city in the world.

Finally the pain is over. The world is now back to normal. People now smile & laugh like they used to. The sun comes up for the first time in 23 months. Plants begin to show sign of life.

David Benioff & D. Weiss start writing the script for another fresh season 8 from their prison cells under the close supervision of the CIA.

Reminder ..

Dami12345:
Stumbled on your diary.
Saw some similarities btw myself and you.
The mind behind. The soundness of thought. I have a few theories so I asked.

Thank you, I'm deeply flattered. But please we won't talk about any diary here, or anywhere else. Makes me uncomfortable.

As for the theories you have, yes you are correct. I was created by the Children of the Forest.

Dami12345:
Did I over shoot or undershoot?

Why are you interested in my age?

meforkene:
See eh Ksslib you and I need to have a drink anytime you're in town.
I swear this last episode just showed no one has suffered as much as Dany bae.

Any madness she brings forth is justified in my soul of course before she's held back or dies.

I'm ready.

Meanwhile that camera focus on her green eyes is for what? For me to start thinking about Arya and the eye colors of Cersei and Mountain? Mtchhhwwww.

I just wanted to hug her & soak some of her pain.

Yes, from all indications it looks like my baby is entering that pre-madness stage, but she will not burn that city to the ground alongside the innocent. My Dany will not go out of character & exhale wrath on the innocent just like that all because her father was the mad king & she's currently going through the worst period of her entire life. Papa mad no mean say pikin must mad.

My baby might be impulsive & erratic atimes but above all, she has a kind, beautiful soul. She's not an evil villian. Writers, producers & executive directors, do you hear that?

Daenerys Targaryen, Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons ------ is not/will never be the villian even if una like make una write & direct from now till tommorow..

I saw that green eyes thing too. I heard she has violet eyes in the book. She also had blue eyes during her stinct with Khla drogo cos one of his men said Blue-eyed women are witches, something like that. I no con know where this green eyes come from, abi na reflection of light..

Game of thrones has SO MUCH to settle with just two episodes left. Attempts to squeeze everything inside is beginning to tell on the quality, I can turn a blind eye to that for now(sh!t happens) , BUT what will finally seal it for me is a)what eventually happens to Dany , b) the manner in which it happens.

Did they make her the villian? Was her death(if she dies) respectful in a poetic way?

Should they mess those two things up for me, my last comment before it happens will be the last thing I ever type about Game of thrones anywhere -- be it text message, whatsapp or on paper or anywhere. Neither will I ever discuss GOT in real life, or make GOT references/jokes in real life like I always do ---- I swear by the old & new gods.

I'll just mourn my baby in peace that way cos clearly, my watch has ended.

Dami12345:
We are too alike. Lemme guess you are 24.

No I'm not.

GMan650:
Lol ... That was when she lost it. If she was half the person Jon is, she should have declared Jon King and marry him. Shell be Queen that way but she wants to be the monarch and have Jon as the queen. The mumu Jon too is just so.... Abeg don't lemme abuse Jon.

Meanwhile, Sansa was also alone on that table.

My baby has been through shiit for this Iron Throne. Everything pain she endured, everything fire she walked on barefooted, everything she went through all her life, the motivation of the Iron Throne kept her going & surviving. She has lost things on this journey, things no amount of gold or Iron throne can ever repay. Dragons, people that loved her & those she loved.

Nobody has lost as much as she has.

Why should she just give up the Throne just like that when she's just inches away from sitting on it? Why?

If I dey mention people no dey mention Sansa else you'll just provoke me. And no Sansa wasn't alone. If you look closely, you'll see she was holding a cup of wine, drinking & laughing with her stupidity.

You know, I tried. I tried so hard to shove aside my personal conviction and try see reason, logically, why Sansa is doing all this. Why she doesn't like Dany and all that stuff.

Since they say she has grown, matured, and now have sense, let me watch closely, maybe I'm missing something.

Let me just vomit the vomit here... pweeeeeehhhh

Sansa is an idiot. Sansa IS STILL the envious, cold-hearted idiot she was when she was little. She is just a mature idiot now, that's the only difference. Sansa has always been a bitttch from childhood and it grew with her. This is facts. She never liked Jon (for no sensible reason) unlike Arya. The same thing she's doing to Dany.

She is allergic to greatness.

While Tyrion & Lord Varys haven been with Dany for a very long time now, haven experienced all the battles she's fought & won, haven put her character under observation, have earned the right to question & wonder if she's truly the perfect queen that fits their ideals, what right does a so-called Lady of Winterfell who hid in the crptys has to question someone's leadership whom despite knowing being in the middle of such a dangerous & spontaneous battle makes her vulnerable, and if she dies so does her claim to the iron throne, still picked up a sword nevertheless and risked her life?

Tell me.. who should question who here? You hid in the fffucking crypts, only to come out when the coast is clear to start playing politics with people who risked their lives? People who had more to lose than you. Somebody whose death could have potentially sealed the fate of Westeros. Somebody whose death(if Dany dies eventually) will have ten thousand meanings than yours... Wtff!!! Is this what y'all call smartness?

Even the politics you're trying to play was built on breaking your brother's trust. His word, on an oath you promised not to break. I'm not even surprised. Sansa never liked Jon, unlike Arya. She doesn't hate him now though, but let's call him a valuable convenience she feels she can manipulate at will. Sansa doesn't hate Jon but I can't say she loves him much either, because I saw Sansa look at Theon Greyjoy's lifeless body in a way she can never look at Jon.

Jon is just a pawn in the bigger scheme of things. Anybody will be a better Queen/king to Sansa than Dany even if it's Buhari Tagaryen. What better to finish a girl you envy and hate for no reason than use the one person she loves?

The funny thing is, Dany, for all her so-called hardness and mean demeanor, is soft on the inside. This side of her comes out of hiding only when she's with Jon. She looks so different & vulnerable when she's with him. Sometimes I see them together, I smile... and shake my head in pity at the same time.. because nothing can bring that girl down. Not Cersei, not the round-headed, cockless varys pig.

If Dany is going down at the end, it will be Jon.

Gosh!! And of all the men in Westeros and beyond, the gods made her fall in love with an idiot. Jon & Dany are my faves but Jon has idiotic, irrational tendencies atimes.

Let's not even talk about how he blindly supported Dany's siege to King's landing that failed when the sensible option would have been to rest for a while. Even Grey-worm had to express his displeasure by moving a piece Jon placed on the battle-strategy map board, as if to say "Bros this no make sense at all".... Let's even forget this part & move on.

Even Bran knew catastrophe was lurking. Even Bran knew Jon needed time to think it through before opening his mouth. As the three eyed raven, I'm guessing he is not allowed to blatantly influence history by dictating what & what not people should say or do, that's why Bran didn't open his mouth to say shiit. He sat on the fence and
told Jon, "YOUR CHOICE"..

And Jon made his choice.

If Dany goes down at the end, it will be Jon. The man she loves. Only he weilds that power.

The curse of Love.
