Hello Seun,

I believe is high time we have such categorization,perhaps you could also think of Freshers and experience categories.I believe it will help to all of us to sort out and go for exactly what we need.This is my tow kobo's

You guys had better come up with something better,chritiandom have embrace the practice of Alhaj and Alhaja by calling themselve JP (jerusalem Pilgrim) .I am 100% sure that you guys copiously copied that from Islam.

In any case,those affiliations;Alhah,Alhaja and JP is not a passport to heaven.

Muslims have refused to react all this while because there is no point arguing with fools and morons who will only dogmatically adhere to a very unnecessary and irrelivant issues like Affiliations

check with Bitraxaxent in lagos

Hello Guys,

How can I reachout to the members in Abuja since am been charged for membership dues?Your quick response will be highly appreciated.

Regards

Hi Guys,
Please do ou guys know any company thar can help me remit my exams fee,I called a company in lagos and they claimed they can only remit in march,which implies that I will have to pay for late registration.Please is there a company that can help remit my exams fee in the early registration period.

Hello Guys,
I work in Abuja and I intend to write the June 9 exams,I need a reputable company that can help remit my exams.Can you guys please recommend some.I also will need the Sybex Study Guide and review manual.Am just struggling to pay for the exams so any free stuff will be appreciated.

Hello,
I am interested in writing the June diet exam.I work in Abuja and there is almost no study center available here.I was wondering if you have the latest review manual and if you will share with me
I thank you in anticipation

@ALL
I have taken the trouble to read all your post.I have a simple question to ask you all.
What will constituite an equitable and just solution to the problem in the Middle East.

No self rspecting consulting outfit will ask you for money,they are in most cases paid for there services,please be careful and my cadid advice is dont pay them.Goodluck

Hello guys,I just got a mail from shell too inviting me to a test
has anyone got this kind of mail and do you know the format of the test.

LMAO
They can still only play 11 players.

Shankly built a team on synergy and the philosophy still stands.

Liverpool teams are greater than the sum of the individual players who play.

Chelsea somehow manage to produce a "team" that is not as good as the individuals they have available should be.

If you play Shevchenko you can't play one or possibly both of Drogba / Crespo

If you play Ballack then Joe Cole/Essien/Makelele has to go.

The game is about the 11 on the pitch not the 11 sitting in the stand on their big fat wallets

Christino:
you're da man. It's like coaching Brazil and winning the world cup, come and coach Angola now, and people talk about Porto as if they are not a team, remember they trashed liverpool o (without mourinho).

If you draft Arsene wenger,Rafael Benitez or Alex ferguson to coach Angola,they will still need a basket to pack their goals,Angola simply does not have it,they lack what it takes to perform at the world stage,we messed up our qualification that's how they got their chance.I hope we will not see a 7-10 goals mauling of that Akwa lead side
It was Benfica and not Porto that defeated a tired Liverpool side,get you facts right,remeber they had to go through qualification.
Real Madrid adopted a policy of buying the best (aging) stars in the world a few years ago - lots of pretty football, not a lot of trophies.

If you give me access to Mr. Abrahamovic's millions,I will get him his most coveted trophy-Champions League.I believe Mr Loud mouth mourinho has under achieve by not even getting to the semi finals of the champions league in spite of the bottomless cash resources at his disposal,look at what Benitez has achieved with Liverpool,look at what arsenal did with their rag tag team.
Now they are buying up everything in the market,the one's they need and the one's they think their rivals will need.Is bad for the game and I agree with Mr. Blatter that their ought to be a cap on how much players can earn.Imagine Sven leaving out Shaun Wright Philips from Chelsea and taking a chance with untested Theo Walcot,I hope Mikel will learn a lesson from that;he will rust on the bench.
Chelsea may have all the millions to buy all the Ballacks,schevchenko,Kalou and Mr. loud mouth,they will not win champions league next season meaning they will still under-achieve.

Let us assume OBJ has done well,is that a basis for him to move the goal post?he thinks he is clever by not talking about TTA and getting political jobbers like mantu to do his bid.
I am seriously pained,OBJ should look at countries like Ghana and South Africa who have transited from one govt. to another,he should learn from Mbeki who has resisted the temptaion of another term,this are some of the qualities of statemanship;build and enduring legacy fro which you will be remembered by.
As for those who can lead us in this country,I can give you a good number of them from different part of the country that are ably qualified,Emeka Ayanoku from the South,Abubakar Dangiwa Umar from the North,Chris Okotie of the fresh fame,Pat Utomi of LBS,I can go on and on.
In any case what happens if OBJ drops dead today?it is a possibility,when Abacha worried us we cried to God and he intervened,now OBJ wants to play god and Nigerians shall once again cry unto to GOD,I urge you to sincerely pray to GOd to take charge of our affairs.May God help us in this country.

We need an independent Instituition to monitor our broadcast organs,NBC has become another EFCC;a tool of victimization

Those who are writing OBJ's script must have borrowed a leave from the guys who wrote Abacha's script:failed bank for Abacha as atool of intimidation,EfCC for OBJ.The govt arguement about Atiku is diversionary,who is clean amongst them?How did OBJ get the money to set up Otta farm after he retired?Add up all his salary since he joined the army;is not enough to build Otta farm.Who owns Oando(Olusegun and Obasanjo) PLC? Oando recently advertised for perone in the upstream sector,no be only Atiku steal,Gbenga is fronting for his dad,it is a case of a kettle calling a pot black.

Hello,
Is this another ploy to get people hoodwinked on so called job offers?I applied to Jobsindubai.com with load of promises,but after paying their registration fee in dollars,I never heard anything again?guys beware o.

nice work,pls keep it up.

I think you should go for an HP compaq nc6120,it has all the features you mentioned above with a one year warranty redeemable even in nigeria.That's the one am using and I can vouch for it.Good luck[color=#000099][/color]

@Super
Well my certification and skills gives me a pay that takes me home,more than a Million bucks per annum is not bad.What do u think?I know I can still get more and am trying to

Hey Guys the EFCC has become a vindictive tool for OBJ,what is happening to other governors who equally have fast fingers like Alamco,Chech them out;Saminu Turaki of Jigawa:Hardly spends a week in Nigeria,he is either in Singapore or Malaysia,and those guys needs the money so they don't complain,I wasin Dutse only two weeks ago and I did not see all those things he paid money to be advertised for on DSTV,the guys is a lier.Odili,what has he done with his allocation,Abdullahi Adamu Nko?abi because these boys are in the good books of BABA they should not be touched?
Please get me right,I love what is happening to Alamco but we need a holistic approach and all those governors should come out clean.Lastly please guys tell me who owns BELLS University and BELLS secondary school,where did the owner get the money to set it up and the farm hea has ,na general salary he use set am up?

Certifications are no use without skills,many employers a wary of paper certified guys.I know of a someone who has CCNA but he is even afraid to touch a router.If you have the skills then go for the certification to back it up,that way,employers will care and respect your certificate.

I see rather differently,how many Nigerian Husband are faithful?our women prefer us hving girlfriends rather than bringing them home.If you are a muslim,nothing wrong with you marrying more than one wifeif you follow the rules.Secondly if all men are to pick one wife,what will happen to the surplus?abi women no plenty pass men?wetin the extra babes go dey do?snatch other people husbands?I see bring them all under the same roof legally i.e if you are a muslim.God is wiser than all of us

For last season I dont see any other player worthy of it but Steven G.He single handedly won the cahmpions league for liverpool,remember they dusted Chelsea,Juve and did the gratest comeback in footbal history with Ac Milan,comon guys give it to him,he played in the defence at the tail end of the finals,started in the attack and then moved to the middle.No one is more deserving than Steven G
