This is a warning signal from God. Even the spirits are not happy. Ndi otu Baba unu ncha hie asa na anya.

I went for an interview in Skye bank and has been notified by the company recruiting me that I was selected after the interview. I have done medicals and filled pension form. I now await my appointment letter from Skye bank.
My question is this: how long will it take for me to undergo training as a Teller, how much will be my salary as I was employed with my ND Cert. Will the bank provide accommodation for me, I agreed to relocate in the interview...

Accommodation ke? Nothing like that o, so start preparing yourself on how to relocate and start work.
Contract job in some Nigerian banks is not worth the stress of leaving home so early and getting home late as well. But as a beginner, you can use this to keep body and soul together while you search for a more rewarding and permanent job.

The problem lies partialy with the type of messages preached in churches nowadays: favour, blessings, prosperity, giving etc nowadays a church is where one goes and is comfortable in ones's sins, its where many go with intentions of finding a sex partner.

More emphasis are laid on the mercies of God than on the wages of sin and the consequences of toying with his grace-up to the extent that He is viewed as desperate to forgive.

The fact that Christ warned more about hell than the pleasures of heaven is a grim reminder of the morbid reality.
God being righteousness, MUST SURELY punish sin in any form. His silence, grace and long suffering will not be mocked but must be paid for.

Whether we like it or not it is the bitter reality we will one day face.
"......IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD"

No other point can be surest than this.

Men are polygamous in nature. I hope you know that.

On the judgement day, let that be your excuse to God.

They have to find that witch of a woman o. What kind of wickedness is this one? To be sincere many women are guilty of maltreating other people's children and it's very bad. She can't hide for long, God will fish her out to come and receive punishment for her sins.

bobokeshington:
If na guy do that kind thing now, all these jobless Feminists no go let person hear word. ...

Just this one out of ten, person no go hear for men now.
Men wey be bunch of uncontrollable cheaters.

a woman that drove her husband out of their home to be with another man..
ticks your box..
oh my lord
i shake my head for you
one of the biggest crime i see here is the man not earning more than the woman
and worst of the dude still loves hes wife..
instead of you to just pray they resolve their difference and get their home in place
your here saying God knows what
you dont know what it means to be in a broken home i i wont blame you sha

And you don't know how it feels to be in a troubled marriage either.
I don't support infidelity in marriage, if the wife was actually cheating before she decided to back out of the marriage. But his wife earning higher than him shouldnt have made him lazy and shying away from his responsibilities.
He is just using the excuse of tradition to run from his responsibility.

pautex:
AFTER READING THE EPISTLE, I DID NOT COME ACROSS WHERE HE MENTION HE WILL DIE IF HE GIVES MONEY TO HIS WIFE

And you are sure you actually read it?

This is the kind of thing our Govt should be encouraging and promoting not some useless Reality shows. I hail Rochas on this.

I think this Fulani herdsmen is a revised version of bokoharam. Herdsmen I use to see moves around with just dagger and they are usually not more than two following a large herd of cow. So how come they are so large in number this days and causing mayhem with Ak47. Bokoharam boys has moved to Benue state and God will expose them all.

Since Govt has been doing that, let them finish what they accepted to do. But if it was to be me o, I for don find my way tey tey.

iRyan:
Do you have a visa already? You should know what you are about to get yourself into, it isn't as easy as you think. you won't get a proper job on a visit visa except for those menial jobs which might not be enough to sustain you economically especially as an illegal. Now is the worst time to live illegally in the U.S. ICE has been cracking down on illegal immigrants, illegals here now sleep with one eye open. Research thoroughly on what you are about to do...

Thanks.

Such a painful death. RIP to their souls.
But honestly Nigerian youths should know that there is time for everything and stop the abuse of ear phone usage and pressing of phone in every nook and cranny they find themselves. You don't use ear phone on busy environments.

@Bishop I must appreciate your willingness and genuine intention to help others succeed in their travel adventure.
Please how can I contact you?

RuthDaniels:
Oga Toks you are being myopic here, Haba. This is like saying every break up is the woman's fault. Are you saying there are no men who are unsatisfied even with an angel?

Do you mean all men know what they want ? All men are saints? No man will want to chop and go even when a lady is worth staying with? Stop deceiving yourself Biko!

This thread is just to polish your ego, to cover up your flaws and faults. And you know what some shallow minded ones will support you but that won't change the fact that you are wrong!

Don't mind them, that's how they keep writing trash just to rubbish women. Stay on your own and leave women alone; they won't. Most of this play boys that already made up their mind that they just want to hit and run even before the relationship starts.

humble2:
pls guys I need ur help is urgent like now now..pls my friend has been asked to pay 25 k for getting form at federal internal revenue task force,, they claimed it's bill has been approved.. pls how real is federal task force.. he is at d point of paying,, I can't hold him dat long cos he is desperate..

Who asked him to pay the 25k? is the money for the long leg services or officially from Federal Govt? It's either way though. For backdoor recruitment, payment is usually above 100k, then official payments for recruitment forms in Naija has never been above 5k. Though I am not sure of the Federal task force bill being approved; the possibility of this being a scam is very high.

GEKE:
I have one 07034247614

Ok . I will give you a call.
Thank you.

An affordable one room apartment needed around Lekki/Ajah axis. Any body with a reliable information should be please alert me.
Thank you.

punche:


I cldnt. Delta state is a long distance from Lagos, of which they have a branch here in Lagos.

Where is your location?

What kind of excuse are you giving? Unless you made a research and the company is not worth it.
You applied and was invited and you are here complaining of distance.

Aunty Kemi has started again abi.

So this man is still on this blame game when it is obvious that his administration is equal to poor economy, hunger, more corruption and increased unemployment in the land.
Well, what does an illiterate, tribalistic and hatred filled old man has to offer. Absolutely Nothing.
Nigerians should vote better in 2019.

crazydude1:
....b**ch be forming friend. btw,why are Ladies so desperate to marry? It is not by force to marry na.

Why are men so quick to insult women who are of age and not married?

Fesomu:
You people should stop making IVF look like miracle here jor

And who told you its not a miracle? Do you think it's all IVF cases that comes out successful? God still have the final say.

Whether the company employs him or not, he is not losing anything rather it will boost his portfolio. With his experience in teaching he can easily get another teaching job if things didn't work out as anticipated. But I believe the scholarship will open doors of opportunity for him whether abroad or here Nigeria; so let him go for the scholarship.

Ken124:
I still don't understand why people will come here and start begging for work haba!!

Vancancies are Posted here everyday if u see anyone that fits you apply

See me o. I don't know why Nigerian youths are like this. You are already on a job vacancy site, instead of reading through and applying for any one you found suitable, begging for employment becomes the case.

Time waits for nobody. That you went for interview shouldn't stop your job search or whatever you are doing. You only stop when you have been given appointment letter. Right now while you still expect their calls, move on with your previous activities.

Employers in this country are just using the helpless situation of lack of employment to frustrate job seekers. No doubt that most structured organisations has a policy of probation period but salary should be fully paid or a reasonable amount and not allowance. I am not surprised at the comments here because Nigeria graduates has been dealt with in terms of job that many are ready to take anything.
Please ask questions on their pay package, staff welfare and other working conditions before taking up the offer. Some yeye organisations after the 3 months cheap labour probation period will cook up stories and kick you out claiming you did not perform.

Please who has done marketing with real estate firms before? Is the job worthwhile? share your challenges and experiences here. I want to learn.
Thank you.

What you just narrated can be very frustrating, so I understand but you don't have to quit without something else at hand. Increase your job search now or plan how to be on your own.

Why we won’t stop travelling home for Christmas, New Year —Igbos
tribuneonlineng.com Dec 23, 2017

“It has become our tradition to travel every Christmas. I am going with my wife and my children because this is the only opportunity to see our relatives who are based in other parts of the country and even abroad. We meet to discuss family issues. No matter the fare, we must go.” At the Jibowu Bus Park in Lagos during the week, Ugochukwu Anufurum was firm on going “home” for Christmas/New Year celebrations no matter the situation.
The Yuletide and New Year season is one of the few seasons millions of people look forward to every year all over the world. In Nigeria, it is one of the few seasons that bring friends and families together, including long-lost ones, and as such, one that countless number of people always looks forward to.

However, the Igbo people in the South East section of the country are known to have, over the years, developed special interest for this season (seemingly above all others) and as such would do everything possible that they mark the season in grand styles.

It is therefore a very common sight to see the Igbo using the occasion of Christmas to storm their villages from wherever they might be, including far away cities like Lagos and Abuja, while some even travel from outside the countries for the same purpose.

The Igbo, as believed in some quarters, love to show off their wealth and flaunt what they have and this they do more than any other ethnic group in Nigeria. It is believed that they use the Christmas time to travel to their villages to show off the wealth they have been able to accumulate over the year.

However, the pan-Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Indigbo, strongly differed as it declared that the Igbo never travel at Christmas because of show off. The group vehemently denied that the mass travelling of Igbo, especially during the Yuletide, is done for showboating, but rather something the Igbo do as a mark of respect for their roots. As such, the group maintained that no Igbo person should ever be vilified over the issue.

In a chat with Saturday Tribune, the Publicity Secretary of the Ohanaeze Indigbo, South West, Mr Peter Anosike, pointed out that only two tribes in the whole world-the Igbo and the Israelis-were known to never joke with their roots and who always ‘remember their homes’ wherever they might be in any part of the world.

“Anywhere we go, we must always remember home. The only tribes that remember home are the Igbo and Israelites. Even when they die in a foreign land, they would prefer that their dead bodies be brought back home for burial. As people that have travelled far and wide, the Christmas time provides the Indigbos the opportunity to see their families and loved ones again.

“So it is more of a home-coming for an average Igbo traveler, because an individual you’ve not seen from January to December, you are suddenly given the opportunity to see such an individual. So travelling home for Christmas is never about showoff and those who have such a notion should discard it immediately. The period provides an opportunity for Indigbos from all walks of life to have a reunion sort of,” he pointed out.

At this juncture, it is noteworthy to state that there are many other festivals that also serve as an avenue for south-easterners to visit their villages, or “home” as it is generally referred to. Each of such festivals is unique in its own way and attracts its own fair share of participants. For example, Easter, another major Christian festival, also serves the same purpose, while there a few traditional festivals that Igbo still hold in high esteem and which they would do their best possible to participate in.

Some of such traditional functions or festivals include: the annual kingship festival, that is, the Ofala Festival, which is mostly celebrated during the Christmas in different villages in Igboland; Iwa Akwa; and the Okonko Festival, which is used as the festival to celebrate the coming of age of male youths. There is also the Iza aha, Ede aro festival (in celebration of the Aro Deity), age grade meetings, as well as the Iwa Ji Festival, which is the famous New Yam Festival, among others.

These cultural and traditional activities would almost always make an average Igboman embark on a journey back home to participate in the festivities. But despite this large array of festivals and their popularity, it is only right to say that Christmas and festivities associated with it dwarf them all.

The real seasons the Igbo don’t joke with going “home” during this period has always been a source of debate, especially among non-Igbo and no matter the length of such debates, the real reasons have always remained evasive. However, inquest into some of the arguments provided by those who engage in this practice and those who don’t might provide some sort of insights into possible reasons behind this annual pilgrimage.

For many, one reason the Igbo travel home for Christmas is to ensure family reunion. According to those who nurse this belief, only few tribes in the world could match the adventurous and industrious nature of the Igbo. Therefore, according to those who hold this argument, if an Igbo individual has been away from his home and roots all through the year, it is only normal for such people to create an avenue for themselves to meet once again in an atmosphere of unity and camaraderie.

Sharing this view with Saturday Tribune, was a Lagos-based businessman and an octogenarian, Pa Uche Anisiemeka, who claimed to have spent over 60 years in Lagos. Pa Anisiemeka’s escapades and success in Lagos have him boasting of an enviable house and other investments in the Okota area of the city. But despite his over six-decade sojourn in Lagos, Pa Anisiemeka claimed to have only missed spending his Christmas holidays in his native Imo State on a few occasions.

“It is common knowledge that the Igbo are very enterprising. They are migrant-entrepreneurs who are endowed with immense competitive spirit. They prefer to leave their families and homes in search of greener pastures elsewhere. They can live in the cities from the beginning of the year to the end without visiting home, but one thing a lot of them would not do is to celebrate Christmas outside of their hometowns, in the company of their families, friends and age-long colleagues. Celebrating Christmas at home is considered typically cultural and it is curiously expected of anyone living in town or abroad to re-connect with the home people during Christmas,” he told Saturday Tribune.

Yet, there are many others (mostly non-Igbo) who are of the opinion that the yearly journey home is spurred primarily by ego, showmanship and unhealthy competition, rather than genuine need for reunion.

Saturday Tribune, during the week took up the task of attempting to unveil the reason(s) for this ageless behaviour and as such, some opinions of randomly selected Igbo travelers were sampled. The quest to solve this “mystery” took Saturday Tribune to some popular motor parks in Lagos which, as expected, had become a beehive of activities.

At the popular and ever-busy Maza Maza Bus Terminus in Lagos, a middle-age traveler who identified himself as Chinedu Obasi, argued that no matter how busy one is, he should always create time to remember home. According to him, since it is practically impossible for many Igbo living in the other parts of the country to be travelling home as often as they would have loved, calving out just one period in an entire year to achieve this purpose is not too much. This, he said, is what the yearly journey home during Christmas is all about.

“Christmas brings a moment in a year when all Igbo or majority of them living outside Igboland return to their villages to reunite with their kin who they have not seen, probably in the last 12 months,” said Obasi, who was getting set to travel to his native Enugu State.

Similarly, Chizaram, a 37-year-old native of Abia State, also pointed out to Saturday Tribune that Christmas provided the only opportunity she had of seeing her aged parents, other relatives and loved ones, who like her, were living in far places.

Chizaram, who was spotted making last minutes efforts to board a bus, also at Maza Maza, which was going to her hometown of Umuahia in Abia State, said she was willing to brave all odds to make the journey. She however also hinted that it might be impossible to rule out showoff and show-boasting as one of the reasons some travel at this time, a development she said often served as one of the reasons young men and women often veered to a life of crime so that they would be able to make money at all cost so as to be able to meet up with others.

She further pointed out that, in some instances, parents whose children are coming home go all the way to boast about such children and the children in return will do everything possible not to disappoint such parents, including taking to a life of crime.

“To an average Igbo man, going to the village is non-negotiable. Far and near, sons and daughters return home, besiege their respective villages, not only to celebrate Christmas with their kith and kin, but also to provide an opportunity for many families to boast about their illustrious sons and daughters, whom they are proud of,” she said.

But for other travelers, the yearly exodus is nothing more than a family tradition. At the Jibowu Bus Park, yet another traveler, Ugochukwu Anufurum, insisted that the period provided an opportunity for him to attend to salient and sometimes delayed family/community matters, especially since other important stakeholders in such matters would also be around.

“I can say that this is why the Igbo work hard to ensure that they gather enough money with which they can go home for the Christmas celebration. They do this because the communal life they live as umunna would require them to give gifts to their kin when they get back home,” he further noted.
