Awoist:
I still don't understand why people are saying Awolowo introduced tribalism to Nigerian polity. In the early life of a multi ethnic nation, every tribe is ruled by their own person. So the yorubas should have allowed Zik to rule them or what.
See to me anybody pointing accusing finger here is a tribalist. We are different tribe with different interest so this things are bound to happen. And when Zik betrayed Awolowo, I could have viewed that too as tribalism but no he did what he had to at the time.
This whole tribal arguement and stuff is only a proof that we are not ready to grow.

Myhusband:
do you when abokii ladies have been chopping non mutual seex ? and forceful marriage

you need to dial ya surgeon number asap

BaaleOko:
*SIGH* I don't have time to waste explaining myself to you, I simply pointed out how my Yoruba staffs were culpable for breaching company policies by introducing disgusting tribalism (it wasn't just Igbos that were complaining, most of my Non-Nigerian staffs also did on several occasions), the usual stereotype about Nigerians been too loud, rude, and haughty were reinforced by Nigerians, majority of whom were Yorubas. Once again use your brain, the Edo guy who complained to me didn't generalize all yorubas as bad and uncouth, he only made a point of the tribalistic tendencies of many of the Yoruba staffs towards Non-yorubas. You don't know me, my relationship with Yorubas or my views about them so don't come here and make silly innuendos cause you don't know me dude.

On a side note (not that it matters anyway cause your antecedents of facetious bias is an open book here), why are you accusing me of been jaundiced in my views about Yorubas? Why are you not condemning the Yorubas here who are also guilty of ethnic baiting and stereotyping Igbos negatively? Your hypocrisy stinks to high heavens mate.

BaaleOko:
.....When the line was crossed was when tribalism was introduced to my agency courtesy of yorubas, your people were most culpable for some of the most disgusting actions that definitely broke the scale of professional tolerance... and I noticed these insecurities were most profound around and towards the Igbo staffs, calling Igbos "Awon ajaokuta ma mo mi" "Awon Okoro" when bonding together in their clannish sessions was the deal breaker for me... when I had it up to my neck was when some idiot started to ask her Co-staff in Yoruba why an Igbo boy was in charge... the b1tch didn't know I overheard her, plus I unfortunately for her understood Yoruba very well... that became the beginning of her many nightmares to come until she quit, or in more succinct terms "got written up and fired".

nelsonoba:
No. Don't apply it. Why don't you go and sacrifice yourself to kidnappers to prove your point. Because killing pastors who are evangelising to unsaved souls is not equivalent to resisting the gospel! No wonder Jesus thought of people like you and made a statement saying "....for the children of darkness have become wiser than the children of light". It's a shame that when muslims go to mosque, they leave their shoes outside, but when many Christians like you come to church, you tend to leave your common sense outside. That you're a Christian does not mean you have to be stupid! My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge! In case you don't know, Jesus' disciples carried swords around when Jesus was still on earth. If a whole Jesus could move around with armed followers, then what does that say to you?

Cousin9999:
You're trolling, man. You can't be this dumb. Go sit down. lol

Myhusband:
.we are talking about human, you're talking of abokii ladies that are mostly force into marriage

seems ya brain is nut

BaaleOko:
Not sure if you are dyslexic, or just the type to jump the gun without first READING and COMPREHENDING... otherwise you woulld have actually understood the difference between an individual opinion expressed by SOMEBODY, and the tangetial rubbish you just wrote that completely took a wide detour from what I implied. Once again if you take or took your time to read and understand context clues, you will know there's a cognitive difference between an Edo PERSON and Edo PEOPLE ... the Edo person in question comes from Auchi in Edo North, maybe you are right about the Yoruba and Edo historical relationship, but these very individual had his personal reasons for having such opinion about the yorubas who work at my company (note that I didn't say all Edos dislike Yorubas, before you twist my post out of context), this was just an individual perception based on the nasty attitude of yorubas towards anyone not from their tribe(I already addressed the problems like insulting other people in Yoruba and all that petty tribal nonsense).

futuregovernor:
Commot for road and park well! Someone will spend his or her hard end money,pay transport come interview......,d person will not hear from such employer or recruiter's again if he/she is successful or not. Some employers/ recruiter's in Nigeria always behave like god's as if applicants don't have an option. Mr busy body,stop posting rubbish

KevMitnick:
HRs like to behave like demigods. They won't even reply to emails asking for feedback. Even if a candidate doesn't make it, a simple mail stating how he can improve on his weaknesses will go a long way. But these guys,.... Smh

DaBogu:
I am going to share my experience as a recruiter, hiring executive assistants for several clients. Some may not like what I have to say, but I can only speak my truth.

Do we have a major youth unemployment problem in Nigeria,yes we do. While there is a challenge of not enough positions aligned with educated youths, as a recruiter I have seen there is a portion of the youth that is not serious about employment. Almost a sense of entitlement.

Many Nigerian youths have access to data and social media. That is how people find me and apply to jobs. I would think during your idle time, you would take time and teach yourself new skills and level up. Unfortunately this is not the case for many candidates I interview.

Let's say I have 10 candidates that I want to interview. Only 5 of them will respond to my initial interview. The other 5 candidates never respond.

Out of the 5 candidates that respond to my email, only three of them will be able to demonstrate knowledge of excel and PowerPoint.

Once I meet them in person, two candidates will call me the day of the interview with one long story basically saying they can not come to the interview, and only one candidate will actually be ready to present to a candidate.

After going to this process over and over again, I have started to ask myself is it worth it? I want to help more Nigerians get jobs, but it's clear to me overall we are not serious.
ver 400 resumes I have for EA positions, only 50 resumes have been presentable to clients.

Nigerian youths if there is not anything else you get out of my message, you need to level up. The Nigerian education system is not preparing you for the workforce. Start teaching yourself basic etiquette of how to apply for a job and the interview process.

Stop sending emails with no subject title or body in the email. Then you attach your resume and expecting a positive response.

Stop embellishing your resume, only to find your are not anything close to what your resume presents.

Do not put a number on a resume that will be hard for a recruiter to reach you.

And finally, if you applied to a position you should be in your inbox more than social media. I can not tell you how many times I get an email from a candidate a week later saying they are just now seeing my email.
This is the cold hard truth. As much as I want to help Nigerian youths. Many of us are not prepared for employment.

ornicus:
What sort of guy says women are better off submitting to rape and putting their trust in a legal system where 99% of crimes are unsolved?

philip0906:
Okay

or loose her limbs/arms, still get raped, loose her life and the rapist going unpunished...

You do not need to reply this post, just helped you complete the post

Bye

ornicus:
Go through his posts. He is a dyed on the wool rape apologist who will continue to advocate for a system where there are no consequences for him.

Cousin9999:
You're making up stuff to defend crappy martial arts. In every post, I have specifically stated that developed countries don't use crappy martial arts like judo.

And again you're not linking to an official military site. The statement of some idiot trying to peddle karate classes doesn't matter.

Cousin9999:
LMBAO

The website you linked to mentions BJJ, Muay Thai, and Krav Maga.

Nowhere does it mention karate or any garbage martial art. And that's not even an official military site, so it doesn't even matter what's stated there.

Soldiers don't learn one or two martial arts in depth, but they do learn hand-to-hand combat (as well as knife-to-hand, knife-to-knife, etc.) via systems that incorporate the best (and simplest) techniques from various martial arts, including Shotokan Karate, Jujitsu/Brazilian Jujitsu, Kali, and Judo. https://www.quora.com/What-are-martial-arts-in-the-military/answer/Douglas-Adolph

......at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, the ground-training unit had a non-commissioned officer named Sgt. Maj. Henry Slomanski— or “Hammering Hank,” as he was affectionately known. He was one of the early forces in karate in the United States. He was about 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighed more than 200 pounds. He had spent a fair amount of time in Japan and acquired a chitoryu karate black belt.

Sgt. Maj. Henry Slomanski started a karate club and was teaching there. In the Rangers, we had American hand-to-hand combat, which was a derivative of jujutsu and American judo. His program also had a fair amount of traditional martial arts techniques. https://blackbeltmag.com/arts/japanese-arts/department-of-self-defense-military-training-and-the-martial-arts

The Korean military division known for real hard core Taekwondo was the elite Tiger Division who were TRUE warriors skilled in the ancient fighting traditions.

They used Taekwondo combat tactics for hand to hand fighting in situations when soldiers did not have guns or were fighting in close quarters. One example of this was when the Viet Cong would hide in their bunkers or tunnels and the Korean Marines did not have the heavy weapons needed to destroy or expose the bunkers.

These soldiers would charge right in fighting only with Taekwondo techniques and bayonets. They were known to cave in ribs, snap necks, choke the enemy to death, and use bone crushing strikes with well conditioned fists and feet, sometimes using only weapons like rocks and sticks to get the job done!

One U.S. Marine Corps Commandant who was a platoon commander in Vietnam in the 1960s watched how the South Korean soldiers performed Taekwondo and saw how they seriously intimidated his OWN men. Because of their killing ratio, even the Viet Cong tried to avoid combat with the elite South Korean marines. https://www.karateworldnj.com/martial-arts-tae-kwon-do-and-the-military/

You obviously don't live in Nigeria then...This one I am hearing seals, US and you're dropping navy links for me...If you live in the USA then it is totally fine...The USA has already done the big deal---laws, regulations, effective judicial system, support system etc so women and girls learning martial arts, isn't out of place.

In Nigeria? We like to put the cart before the horse. Doing the reverse of what the people we so love to copy, do. The lack of Laws, regulations, effective judiciary, support system and the peculiar dynamics of Nigeria been a third world country, makes this thread laughable.

That's the point we're making.

Cousin9999:
Quote where it says they specifically train in Taekwondo, karate, or judo.

"Martial arts" is a broad term and doesn't necessarily include garbage like karate.

Military martial arts systems are fighting martial arts styles developed for real-life combat. They focus on areas such as self-defense, grappling and weapons training. Many of these specialized martial arts programs been developed by countries with large military forces such as the United States, Russia, China and Israel.

Most armed forces teach some form of unarmed combat. It is often a type of mixed martial arts where military personnel might learn a combination of martial arts techniques such as Taekwondo kicks, Muay Thai elbow strikes, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu grappling techniques, unarmed self-defense techniques for use against opponents armed with weapons, etc.https://blackbeltwiki.com/military-martial-arts

I will...Also enrol your daughters including the 5, 6, 7 year olds in whu chu chun ku classes and tell them to simply throw their weak arms and legs in defence when faced with huge, martial arts, arms wielding senile rapists

Jokers! Una think say Nigeria na America, una wan copy oyinbo una no copy finish...una no copy their strong laws wey dey deal with rapists, na the fun, gloss parts una see copy...una think say rape na play una eye go clear

SEALs undergo intense training in all types of combat, including hand-to-hand fighting.

[quote author=Cousin9999 post=81101371]Developed countries are not using that nonsense beyond sports and film. That high kicking crap will have your behind on the ground wondering what happened.

Judo, karate, and Taekwondo are not modern, useful hand-to-hand skills.

SEALs undergo intense training in all types of combat, including hand-to-hand fighting.
It can be broken down into three categories: self-defense, free fighting and grappling. SEALs are trained to use leverage as part of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, as well as ground fighting. It is one more weapon in the bag of martial arts knowledge for the trained SEAL. https://careertrend.com/navy-seals-hand-to-hand-combat-training-information-12744105.html

Navy SEALs learn a variety of martial arts to become highly efficient hand-to-hand combatants. They are encouraged to learn as many styles as they can, but there are a few that are staples in their training. For a Navy SEAL, martial arts are integral to their safety and their ability to execute covert missions and deal with enemies in close quarters. This is why SEALs only focus on the most effective martial arts.

omolewa1984jyde:
I really thank God that this shit is hitting everyone (pastors, politicians and rich people) and not just unknown citizens. Maybe they would know the gravity of the main problem and join in the revolution saga. As far as I am concerned, the curses are mere rants.

They will preach to pray for your enemies and now they are cursing their enemies.

Tell me, who are they deceiving??

Did Jesus Christ curse Judas and his other enemies?

Pastors should practice what they preach and live like Jesus.

philip0906:


A 28 year old man who's a martial artist attempting to rape a 14 year old martial artist...after knocking her out, breaking her feeble and weak limbs/hands, he'll still rape her---and probably go scot free owing to the inefficient legal process

Jokers! Kung fu to stop rape

Y'all should be asking for the right things...Quick and fast legal process, increased jail time (in years) for rapists, make a scape goat of rapists who have already been convicted...

LillyVal:
If you start feeling weird after a drink and think it’s been drugged ask the bartender for SALTY water it’ll make you throw up and cleanse your stomach if you’ve been drugged.

Cousin9999:
Developed countries do it for sport, not for defense. Developed countries would laugh at using Taekwondo in military, police, or civilian self-defense.

Frankly, true defense isn't a skill you can necessarily teach. It's raw, dirty, survival fighting where you viciously attack someone with no regard for what happens to them. Boxing and grappling training help a lot, but no one will teach you to attack a man's genitals or bite off chunks of their body in a boxing gym.

candygist:
You lie man. Even some schools in developed countries teach student takwandoo for self defence. The internet is your friend. Go make some research. Even here in Lagos, people practice takwandoo for self defence. Go to National stadium at surulere on a Saturday and see for yourself. Don't just criticise without bringing a better solution. Let your criticism be constructive. Takwando is also used for self-defence.

Tamasaba:
Lol. She is clowning. Even jetli go surrender when him see gun. Train them to always dress decently and avoid being at awkward places at awkward times with awkward people

Myhusband:
nonsense
why not sensitize the guys/men against rape, nurtured the girls/ladies about their dresses most esp in public then redress the law of rapist to a logical stand in Ondo state

sreamsense:
Misplaced priorities, Taekwandoo in the face of gun and knife, it might increase rape casualities indirectly, modern technologies can do better and more cost effective than wasting millrions on professional taekwandoo trainers

Zionista:
I've seen a female yellow belt holder in Taekwando disarm a drunk fvcktard armed with a broken bottle in a pub in a clinical fashion.

It's a good initiative.

Please they should include that priceless kick in the groin that demobilizes the strongest of men

Asking for N20m naira ransom from ordinary citizens. Did these criminal bastards think people have money printing machine at home, or do they think money grows inside our kitchen? May God visit them with 10 fold calamity, as they have made this man motherless, may God make all their generations motherless. Wicked evil souls

Ziggylady:
