Nairaland GeneralRe: Your Worst And Best Moment On Nairaland by LaRochelle(f): 11:08pm On Dec 16, 2013
My best moment on Nairaland is whenever I read a very funny comment/post on Nairaland; and I laugh so hard that I can feel my ribs literally cracking. They are many but just want to make it sound "singularish".

Fynestboi, please could you post the schools instead of just using the group ID? As in instead of saying A1 vs A3, say UI vs OAU. Thanks.

Sebi Nathan is now happy that his child is no more. He'll just be behaving like a chicken. They should lock him up in an asylum sef. I knew that Katerina would have a miscarriage.

As for Miguel, it was very obvious he did not die. As Margaret rightly said, "You don't know what Miguel is capable of."

Later, they will say it's only Pastors that modify Bible passages to suit their tastes. Well, keep on "seeking" by testing round. You'd soon get your wife material, okay? undecided
Nairaland GeneralRe: General Life lessons learnt from Nairaland by LaRochelle(op): 3:56pm On Dec 10, 2013
6. Some Nigerians can "gbagaun" for Africa. shocked Chai! And some of them even claim to have passed through tertiary institutions. I used to think it was only illiterates that speak poorly. I was wrong. There are some stories which I didn't go past a few pages because the grammar was just too poor for my taste. And to think that some topics that either their titles or posts or both are "gbagaunish" made frontpage is just lipsrsealed. If you know you can't speak well, abeg just say it in pidgin.
7. Most Nigerians have dual personalities - the introvert and the extrovert personalities. I have also learned that "formers" exist like crazy. The thread that really opened my eyes to this fact was the thread on "Which phone are you using currently?". Tufiakwa! sad
8. There are natural debaters in this world; some belong to the supporters club, others the opposers club. I wouldn't be so surprised if someone picks each of my points and analyses them, either to support or to oppose. embarassed
9. Mouths can KILL. The way some NLers "talk" to people whom they've not even met before is appalling. Some people that call themselves adults lack proper home training. They do not know how to correct someone without cussing and do not know how to reply insulting comments. angry
10. Doubting Thomases still abound. God help you if you post a story and you don't state your source. Even if the source is your brain, NLers still want you to say it. If you happen to share a real life story of what happened to you and it is mistakenly similar to film scripts, I don't need to tell you what'll happen. Y'all know. grin

Next set coming up...
Nairaland GeneralGeneral Life lessons learnt from Nairaland by LaRochelle(op):
As the year comes to an end, I decided to post a few things I learnt on Nairaland. I registered some months ago and it's been fun. I can remember how I always laugh like a "Yaba left" patient because of the comments I've read. Well, back to the matter at hand, here are a few of them:
1. D'banj isn't the only Oliver Twist. You can NOT satisfy human beings. This is more observable in the Literature section. A writer posts an update (sometimes lengthy). In a few minutes time, some readers have devoured it and begin asking for more again. I'm like huh
2. There is tribalism in Nigeria. Igbos and Yorubas will never agree to be one. You post a story and someone somehow manages to link the consequences/results of that story to the tribe of the story character(s) undecided.
3. There is so much perversion in the land. You can't even boast of being a virgin and don't get booed at. Most guys think almost all ladies have slept with one man or the other and vice versa. embarassed
4. This is perhaps the biggest blow. When I was in pry and sec school, I only knew of two religions - Christianity and Islam;I never knew atheism thrived so well in Nigeria. My goodness! Some people's work is to vehemently oppose the gospel. Well, we'd continue praying for them that the Lord saves them. smiley
5. I dislike Politics, as such I don't visit the section. I only read the political stories on frontpage that catches my fancy. I have realised that PDP and APC supporters will always be at loggerheads. Gosh! The arguments are usually so annoying and plain pointless. It left me wondering, if ordinary supporters behave like this, how do members of the party behave lipsrsealed?

Hi. I already have a CSCS a/c, well two. Calyx gave me one in 2008. APT (the firm I've been referring to) opened one for me in 2012. Is it normal to have two? How can I monitor my CSCS a/c online? Thanks.
FashionRe: Grow Your Natural Hair Long by LaRochelle(f): 12:30am On Dec 04, 2013
Hi Beau. I'm presently on low cut, planning on making my hair afro. The problem is that my hair is what they call rubber hair. It usually forms what my sister calls "chewing gum" in front, as in round round. You get? Is this afro thing viable for my kind of hair? Also, how will I keep my hair in check so that it can grow normally for an afro?
InvestmentRe: How Long Does It Take For A Stockbroking Firm To Contact Someone? by LaRochelle(op): 9:59am On Dec 03, 2013
If you call that A4 paper that states the name of the firm, my name, units and value of shares share certificate, then I have it. I had to go and collect it from the company.

A previous similar situation has happened and the stockbroking firm (another one) contacted me directly. I didn't need to go to the company to collect anything.

As Access bank declared interim dividends and I didn't get mine, do I have a right to complain?
InvestmentRe: How Long Does It Take For A Stockbroking Firm To Contact Someone? by LaRochelle(op): 11:14pm On Dec 02, 2013
Nope. I found out from the company that I did the "work" for that the shares had been bought; but the stockbroking firm hasn't contacted me yet. Access bank declared interim dividends, mine wasn't sent. I'm still waiting to see if they would send me my final dividend when it's declared. If not...
TV/MoviesMost Believable Adverts In Nigeria by LaRochelle(op): 11:17pm On Dec 01, 2013
In this country we are in, you can't but wonder who the mastermind was behind some really dumb adverts:>. Well, that's topic for another daycheesy. Today is for the most believable adverts we've ever seen in recent times.

These, in my opinion, are the most believable. Do enjoy.
HARPIC
This is one product that all its adverts are believable. Chioma does well in the adverts. I can also assure you that the product works.

DE RICA
The one I'm referring to is that of a man who came back from work to be greeted with a tantilizing aroma. He, thinking it was his mother, asked his daughter if grandma was around. The girl replied in the negative and happily told him that it was her mother that was cooking with the help of De Rica.
I have personally not used it but the advert persuaded me to do so (will think about it sha).

PASSION DRINK
I'm not referring to the most recent advert o (that one no get meaning). I'm talking about that one that used to be aired last year or 2 years ago (not sure). It was about a man and his co-labourers who were offloading goods from a truck. After some time, his co-labourers got tired but he didn't. He continued working. At a point in time, one of them couldn't hold back his curiousity and asked the man "wetin make him make he no dey tire". The man smiled (remembering the Passion he took in the morning), took all of them to a shop, gave them each a drink and their strengths came back.

I tell you, if you had seen that advert, you'd understand what I'm talking about. It was professionaly executed.

CANON EXTRA
This man came back from work to see his wife in pains because of a terrible headache. He gave her 2 pills and asked her to rest. He asked her if she'd go to the party they had earlier planned on going. She replied in the negative, thinking that the pills might take time to work. The man went on his own. Few mins later, the wife's headache disappeared and she decided to go to the party only to see her husband grooving at the party with another woman. Lol. Anyways, the point was the drug cures headache pretty quickly.


Do you agree with me or not? Whether "aye aye" or "nay nay", let's see yours.smiley:p

CareerRe: How Was Last ICAN November Diet? by LaRochelle(f): 8:09pm On Nov 22, 2013
I did mine in UNILAG. The BCRM was crazy. When I saw the questions, I was like shocked. I don't know how an examiner can pack only research questions in multiple choice, and pack communication questions in SAQ. SAQ was not friendly. The theory ehn, I just messed up question 5. The chi square question, I don't know if what I did the correct thing but I rejected the null hypothesis. All in all sha, ICAN should better take time. Na only one paper I write, I have to pass it.

@ PE 1 students, how was your MA? The man that sat beside me did not write anything tangible. No ask me how I take know. He was just staring at his question paper. One of my friends was like we should reserve space for him, that he knows he'd write MA again.

LiteratureRe: Secrets Of the gods by LaRochelle(f): 11:15pm On Nov 02, 2013
Oh my Gee, Frank. The entire piece was awesome, and the last update couldn't have been better; one word - mind blowing. At a time, I was actually PRAYING that nothing bad happens (lol).

Your updates were usually long and on point. Storyline, perfect. Description, excellent. Grammar, tense, punctuation were good (except a few typos, which an editor can work on).

I could go on but I'd end here, I'm already writing an epistle. You are amazingly frankilicious. Well done, sweetness. winksmiley
