a quick reminder is no problem you wrote:

that sounds quite sad 

If you cannot see how that statement relates to the unnecessary rattling/division spewed on this thread, then it is pointless furthering a conversation with you.

What I am anxious about is how that some how can be likened to inferiority.

My whole rant was simply attributing the backwardness of a race to its personal weaknesses, the continual urge to attain self-bliss by reigning disdainful remarks on a supposed 'brother', and further creating even wider divides amongst what ought to be 'a people'. Don't you somewhat find inner joy reminding that other Nigerian how hopeless his lot is, because he is based in a failed state?? Even the odd jobbers are trailing along, singing the glory of the Western states who do not give a rat ass about their carcasses.

Incase you missed the point, you are the point. I see no basis for this rivalry, if you do, please tell.

Lighten up, you are wrong! you sounded like you wanted to top yourself and your low selfesteem shinned as bright as the sun! @Rossike has given you the right advice.

Lol really? Please show me ANY part of my post which remotely suggests I might be compromised, esteem wise. In case you missed it, its on the 4th page, probably the last post, take your time to read (don't think it's so much of a chore), Nonetheless, I appreciate your zeal to make a point.

@Rossike.


Friend, don't get excited all too quickly. It is apparent you have'nt read my post, take a little time to re-read and you'll see that my grouse isn't with the white race, or said race being somewhat superior or whatever else you jabbed up there, but rather with the growing divisions (mostly fueled by hate) within the black race. That's the reason you'll always remain an object of mockery to the rest of the larger more civilised world. You all act like rabid sniffer dogs. Look at all these people for instance, fuming over status symbols and what not, what basis is all this? Really ?

Initially I thought it was a societal thing, then a tribal thing, then a Nigerian thing, or maybe a West African thing? Then finally, I realized it was a BLACK THING. A people cursed by their race, regardless of nationality, citizenship or exposure, all by birth are cursed beyond redemption.

I am 22 years old, and well aware of my birth mark, which this thread certainly reeks of. Yesterday my birth mark tried to overpower me but I fought back, I refused to think little of the folks seating next to me, I refused to be condescending, I refused to mock them or the way they spoke of their achievements in order to feel better about myself; WONT GIVE IN TO THE BLACK IN ME.

We are quick to condemn the Muslims we think they are extremists, they rape our young girls and subject the entirety of our nation to undue havoc. But, we also hate the South Africans for being xenophobic, call them rapists, they are violent, dirty and reddened with AIDS, we detest Sony because they reopened an already open can of worms, we call that young man fool because he considered touching his HIV positive girlfriend, we support the pedophile for it is all for love, we are obsessed with marriage, we do not question the man on the pedestal  because he choruses  a certain Jewish name, we hate the way he says odikwa very risky, hate his 3rd neighbour, the one with the H-factor, hate the short lot cos they eat dogs.

We are indeed a sickly cursed race with (apparently) no hope of revival, old young, learned illiterate, Diasporians or indigenes all are guilty.

Please someone tell me, what is the basis of this thread? A 3rd world gathering at its best.

I will like to plead with any 16-25 year olds reading this thread to please desist from joining this useless debate, it only shows you giving into your dirty birth mark (the aggravated compulsion to feel better than the next person) and in this endless quest for relevance, you end up making a huge ridicule of thyself.

Seun Osewa, I hope you deem this fit to make Homepage.


Lately there has been a sharp increase in scam activities involving recruitment and placements of applicants for all jobs levels and categories. Gone are the days where after sending your CVs to certain job openings, your only fear is being asked to pay sums which may range from N1000-N50,000, now you should be fearing for the dear lives of people close to you as these faceless crooks have graduated to a more productive but unfortunately extremely dangerous from of swindle.

It is called REFERENCE THEFT.

Just as the title implies, they extract the names, phone numbers, email addresses and whatever else you put on your CV and proceed to carrying on all kinds of fraudulent activities they deem profitable with you having no inkling about what’s happening. Referees found on most CVs range from persons holding influential positions in various sectors to just about any uncle, aunt, or friend who has a day job.

Last Tuesday, (the 13th to be precise) the Guardian Newspapers published an advert for a supposed Multinational publishing company. They claimed to be one of the largest publishing houses in the world and where looking to recruit such persons as Secretaries, Advert personnel, Correspondents, Editors, Proof Readers and the like. They stated starting monthly salary as N100,000 (nice move) for all listed positions except that for Editors which was pinned at N180,000. They went further to describe the interview process, which required applicants to go to two hosted sites where they would read and summarise several articles on Forex/Wealth Creation/Money Making Tips etc in a few lines. They were also required to forward their resume with the summarised articles to a Gmail address.

NOW THE SHOCKING BIT.

They further mandated applicants to include the NAMES, PHONE NUMBERS, EMAIL ADDRESSES, FULL HOUSE ADDRESSES (not postal) OF 3 REFEREES on their resume. And yes they claimed to have been seeking applicants from the 36 states of the Federation. Now imagine the number of lives that would be put at various levels of risk including robbery, harassment, and Impersonation if this materialises in full.

The advertorial ended with an interesting caveat. They implored applicants not to pay any fees regarding this particular job and that any person caught soliciting funds would be arrested and locked up behind bars. This move was obviously a frail attempt to add some credibility to the advert. I suspect many who had early read with a bit a suspicion, would give in at this point. The advert was not one of those tiny boxed ones; it was a complete half page advertorial. Talk about investment strategies.

Anybody could be at risk here including you and me. I don’t think applicants actually take permission from these referees first before including their names and what not on their CVs.

Please protect the people that have been bold/kind enough to stand as sureties for you, do not place any personal information about referees on your CV, infact simply replace referee details with the phrase,’ Available upon request’ except in cases where you have to fill online recruitment forms of companies you are sure EXISTS.

Thanks Goldmann , from the horses mouth . My friend blatantly told me that KPMG will not take me cos they only hire the best of the best. I'm like with an MBA and 3.98/4.0 i will not qualify , ok understandable if i dont have the right stuff . But not cos they only take 1st class from Ife and UI and Ivy league from abroad.

You know some people just like to pour sand for your garri, and the funniest thing is that i am not even applying to jobs back home just asked an innocent question.

Again thanks all

Amazing retorts from said friend, bad belle at its utter best.

@Eeyore

Don't you read the news? Its realy a tragic tale, she was brutally raped, stabbed and then dumped at the road side. Apparently some perverted young men were offended by her kaki pants, (NYSC Uniform). Members of the House of Representatives have been debating the next course of action regarding this horrific crime. Her name was Grace Ushang.


Oh dear God please save me from the woes of this cursed Nation.


May her dear young soul rest in perpetual bliss.

Took your advice and yeh its already in implementation, I'm gonna draw him to the side tomorrow after our monday meeting,

Im nervous to my teeth though.

Take her to Charisma (Onyx Plaza, 1 Sabo Arobiodu Street, GRA Ikeja, Lagos Phone: +234 1 497 6528)

They would run a diagnosis and consequently recommend effective treatment/therapy.

Also pls confirm that your lil sis ain't using some steroid induced creams like MAKARI.

Hey rikado,

Maybe you should look this through

Might be a tad offensive though.

Hi NL,

Its my colleague, he's like the sweetest guy ever,  very honest, incredibly smart, he's the type that hardly talks, but when he does, everyone by default shuts the hell up , cos he sells the most industrious ideas ever. Even though he's just 2 years older than me, he's easily my mentor, and i have a lot of respect for him.

BUT,

He's got a bad breath, like really terrible, I don't want to believe its hygiene related cos he's generally a neat guy, and i don't think any sane grown up would hit the road without brushing their mouth. He's been in this same condition for months, one time it got so bad that i started buying like 20 pieces of Tom-Tom everyday, and cos of this, everyone on my team thinks I am so nice, friendly with a giving heart. I really want to help my colleague but i don't know how to without making him feel embarrassed.

The emergent leader of the controversial Boko Haram religious sect, Sanni Umaru has vowed to continue waging a religious war "in Nigeria which no force on earth can stop." Umaru in an e-mail sent to newsrooms said his group’s aim "is to Islamise Nigeria and ensure the rule of the majority Muslims in the country,” adding that “we will teach Nigeria a lesson, a very bitter one."

In the statement, “We Speak as Boko Haram”, Umaru outlined a six-point agenda which he said the sect is ready to unleash on both the Northern and Southern parts of the country beginning this month.
According to him: "from the Month of August, we shall carry out series of bombing in Southern and Northern Nigerian cities, beginning with Lagos, Ibadan, Enugu and Port Harcourt. The bombing will not stop until Sharia and Western Civilisation is wiped off from Nigeria. We will not stop until these evil cities are turned into ashes."

Umaru said the killing of their leader, Mohammed Yusuf, "in a callous, wicked and malicious manner will not in any way deter us. They have lost their lives in the struggle for Allah." According to him "Boko Haram lost over 1000 of our martyr members killed by the wicked Nigerian army and police mostly of Southern Nigeria extraction; that the Southern states, especially the infidel Yoruba, Igbo and Ijaw infidels will be our immediate target."

Someone shoot me

NOW

I got me a really nice PDA.

WIRINET,

I have the same exact problem!!!! and I found out that the problem with receiving only 1x reception is actually from the card. My collegue and I purchased the same plan, with the same Aircard, the same time. He has no problem with EVDO reception, infact, his hardly flunctuates towards 1x but mine's permanently indicating 1x in use. But when we swop cards, a miracle occurs, i get EVDO without any fluctuation issues while He gets 1x. Infact, if you truely want to confirm that the speeds from the 1x and EVDO receiving cards are not the same, open a youtube video at the exact same time and monitor the stream speed. That's exaclty what i did, not once, not twice but three times, and the difference in strem speed is unquestionable.

Last week i finally found time to visit their GRA Ikeja office to address this problem and the nutjob techi guy there, who obviously doesnt know a nibbe bit about 1x evdo technically issues just messed around with the watcher settings, reinstalled the drivers then returned the laptop concluding that since CNN's webpage could open in less than a minute(even with the recepion stll indicating 1x in use) the problem had been fixed.

ofcourse when i got back to the office, the sitaution was a lot different. They have now advised me to take my laptop/card to their saka tinubu offfice,which ill be visiting this weekend. god help them if they dont give me my money's worth =EVDO plan.

Dont be deceived by the speed you get when you go to any of their offices, its a given the connection would be faster, DUH? What's clear is that they sold me a 1x plan which is ofcourse a couple of thousands cheaper, when i paid for an EVDO silver plan.

Lastly, visafone has not an existing customer care structure, no one, just the people that help you collect your money, these chaps know not more than that, although they pose as customer care personel.

So pls dont just come here to whine, wear your fight boots and match down to the neasrest visafone office and demand that your service be upgraged to evdo, which is what you payed for!!! If they tell you trash, grab them by the nut and then make your request again!!

Are you actually considering this? Like seriously? Alder is an exceptional company where you can earn invaluable experience. Celtel is a complete bore in terms of creativity and brand strategy. Dude, there's one thing getting the job and another keeping. With Alder they work with visible results, it aint just about idea brewing and astute mumblings but practicality and workability of suggested strategies.

oh yeah ,2weeks ago, i had a bother with my service (celtel) so i called their so called 24hr help line, as usual im given directions to rectify the hitches(that like never yields any fruitful results) the convo ends with recomendations for manual servicing at their office. The next thing i know the dude's calling me up, saying he couldnt get me off his mind, etc.i immediately dismissed him.

15years? miss dont you think they would have gotten over your patronage and moved on. 15years's 5475 days, 720 weeks, 180 months, c'mon now.

what about having an infected person 's sperm run down your throat (as in MouthAction sessions)

i doubt that there are any nigerians who would end their lives no matter how much was at stake, virgins, hard currency or both. Those reported 'explosives' are mere gun powder like substances intended to be used for some abuja festival scheduled , to take place sometime this month. Nobody in the airport could verify the nature of these substances until a number of foreign figures were called in.

Perhaps he's settled with some other username to voice opinions on less nutter-like-interests. like romance/fashion/ offtopics ,you know, fun stuff. He's obviously taking a break from those rigorous brain drain sessions.

@ odeku .
In reality, that should be 'one down many more to go'

You certainly are a police man . What else would warrant this farce of a question? The police are simply uniformed robbers, sucking out private/ public pockets like year long starved jungle lyches!

lousy mix-up. please ignore the thread and rechannel all postings to intented topic 'Who is going to heaven' as the delete tab's no where to be found. Seun please delete. thanx

lousy mix-up ,seun please delete.

Im curious, with all the laws stipulated by religion, would man ever meet Bible standards?

who is going to heaven?

OMG not this dude! could swear on my last kpomo that dude's gay! he's song are the gay-est cheesy compilation of notes n chords in recent times.For a man just out of britain's SAS? he should be flogged! but who am i to critic james blunt? Elton john did, Goldfrapp still does ,virtually every one thought he was way too soapy for 2006.But what do we know? Dude went ahead and sold 10million copies

I find that word 'fan' highly revolting.I recommend terms like that should be reserved for d millions of unfortunate victims who would ditch john mayer's limited EPP edition of 'CONTINUUM' for something as mundane as lip singing sounds of the simpson sisters.Id rather words like friends or people who cant put up with d bewildering outburst of mediocre music.All tanx2high_power R-label influence

How dare you taint lolly as stuck up miss? what an outburst of false talk! Dude's a humble n welcoming lil man. Well cant believe im on his side this time cos he really did piss me off yesterday. Like we were talking and catching up on old times and all he could voice was 'im celebrated, big time' ( in a really ghetto- not- so- fabulous tone) and i was like 'b*tch u only just got 'famous''
