How do they say it again? All bark and no bite.
If they take the case to court, tekno can win with the timestamps on the video recordings.
If they just fine him, he can take the case to court himself.
Las las, na money them want and if you ask me, Tekno is more important to the wellbeing and happiness of Nigerians than the so called FG who just keeps frustrating us.

KineMaster is the best on that list. Followed closely by PowerDirector, the rest dey learn work.
Things I did with KineMaster back in the days are just unbelievable for a mobile video editor. Kinemaster is just too powerful.
From basic video editing to advanced, the app too go well. And Indians na masters for the app

@baaleoko, I reiterate, u r a shameless Hypocrite (with a capital 'H')
You got a lady sacked because, according to u, she was tribalistic for referring to Igbo's as "awon okoro". Have you never referred to Yoruba's as " Afonjja apes/afonja animals' and hausas as "aboki"?
When u and ur ilks say it to Yoruba's/hausas its OK, but when they say it to u its " tribalism " shey?

THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH
It is always refreshing to hear the truth about the war and the coup from people who were not only close to the truth but those who had actually lived the truth! Phillip Effiong was in my book, a true soldier and a brave man. He stood their to complete the surrender and officially end the war while other people took flight and ran away. He was also a very quiet and humble man. He did not show off or make a lot of noise unlike some others, even years after the war had ended, he remained relatively quiet. Effiong was a true hero.

Ironsi trusted the wrong people and listened to the wrong people and that was what cost him his life. Adekunle Fajuyi was also a brave man and a true soldier. He chose to follow Ironsi (who was his guest and visitor to wherever his captors took him) instead of just staying back under house arrest in the Governor's House in Ibadan. And he (Fajuyi) paid for it with his dear life when Danjuma and his fellow coup plotters (Northern and Middle Belt officers) summarily executed both of them on the outskirts of a dirt road in Ibadan.

Gen. Effiong’s life is significant for a number of reasons, which include but are not limited to:

1). his wise and masterful handling of Biafra’s surrender.

2). his efforts in ensuring the return of Ojukwu from exile.

3). his efforts at securing the rights and privileges of former members of the Nigerian army of eastern origin.

4). his efforts to preserve the facts of the civil war from intentional and dubious adulteration and revisionism.

5). the hostile and unfriendly attitude of Nigeria’s federal government towards him, including denial of his military entitlements.

6). his determination and conviction that his civil war role was for the good of the country and therefore refusal to be intimidated by the subsequent post-war federal governments.

So you choose mediocrity as a benchmark over excellence.

Poverty is indeed a brain damaging curse.
You need to realise that as a citizen of a wealthy country like Nigeria, you're entitled to a much better life than you're getting now. There are countries where lawmakers use public transport. Let that sink into your head

MY ORDEAL AT SOEKARNO-HATTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT JAKARTA, INDONESIA

There is this derisive impression about Nigerian passport holders in most of the International Airports in different parts of the world, especially in Indonesia. The Immigration officers molest, exploit and forcibly take huge amount of bribes from Nigerians and threaten deportation if one refuses to give in. This happens even when one has not committed any offence. They show no respect to one’s Status so far you are carrying Nigerian passport.

On the 17th June 2019, I was once again greeted with harassment by Indonesian Immigration officers. The ugly incidence spurred me to take up a fight against their intimidation of Nigerians. I know that what they are doing is a corrupt practice and we are their major victims. No matter how our country is, we do not deserve such discriminatory extortion.

So, on that day, I arrived Soekarno-Hatta International Airport Jakarta, Indonesia, in an Emirates Airline from Dubai (EK0356). On disembarking from the Aircraft, I was walking to the queue when an immigration officer halted me. He asked for my passport. As he saw a Nigerian passport, he took me to their office and handed my passport over to his colleague. I greeted the officer sitting down in the office. He ignored me. Three times I greeted so he could say what the problem was but he remained silent and kept deaf ears. So I stood waiting for him to break his silence. I was standing, waiting for what I do not know, for 30 minutes before he muttered any word. Finally, he asked of my hotel reservation, return ticket and my Visa receipt, which I presented all to him.

The next question was, "do you want to go into the country?"

I said "yes".

He replied, "Calculate the fare of a one-way ticket from Jakarta to Abuja and give it to me to permit you entry".

I pretended as if I didn't understand what he was saying. The next thing he did was to google the cost of a one-way ticket with his mobile phone and showed it to me that it was $1,200usd (N432,000). I kept silent, trying to make a sense out of his embarrassing demand. But he didn’t stop there. He threatened to deport me by making copies of my travel documents.

At this point, I remembered my sad experience on the 9th October 2018 on this same Airport for refusing to bribe an Immigration officer with $200usd which nearly lead to my deportation. On that fateful day, they had already handed me over to the security and airline staff, reconfirmed my return ticket, checked in my luggage for eventual deportation. Had it not been I was able to place a call to my visa sponsor who intervened immediately by calling the airport Immigration boss and pleaded on my behalf, I would have been deported for no reason and would have lost huge sum and time. To the glory of God, the deportation was reversed. Meanwhile, this is a country I have been traveling to for 12 years without any infraction of their laws in whatever way. I never overstayed my visit, never broke any law, never even accused of any offense. My only offense was carrying Nigerian passport.

With that bad experience, which I was not ready to have a repeat of, I decided to be soft to this one demanding I should bribe him with $1,200usd. He later came down to $500 (N180,000) after a prolonged pleading. I immediately gave him the money but copied his name and saved it in my phone.

On the 21st June 2019, I prepared petitions which I addressed to the following parastatals:
1. Kedutaan Besar Republik Federsi Nigeria (Ambassador, Embassy of Federal Republic of Nigeria)
2. Direktorat Jendral Imigrasi (Comptroller of Immigration)
3. Direktorat Saber Pungli (Anti-Financial Fraud)
4. Pengaddan Dugaan Pidana Korups (Anti-Corruption).

First, I visited the Nigerian Embassy, met with the Ambassador and handed over my petition to him. He summoned an emergency meeting with all the Embassy's senior staff. He appeared very impressive. He commended my courage and promised to follow it up.

I stepped out of the Embassy and moved to Indonesian Immigration headquarters. On my arrival at the Immigration, it was difficult to gain access to meet with the overall Boss, the Jendral (comptroller), but when I claimed to be a Nigerian diplomat, they let me in. They ran security checks on me, gave me a form to fill my purpose of visit. I filled "High Rate of Bribery and Corruption Scandal Going on at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Jakarta". This form must have caught the attention of the Immigration boss as he didn't hesitate to request for me.

I gave him my petition. He read but couldn't believe that such was going on in their Airport. I provided the name of the Staff, which I copied into my phone. He typed the name in an application in his Laptop and it displayed the photo image of the Immigration officer. I confirmed the picture was that of the man who collected bribe of $500usd from me. He thanked me for coming up with such information, which he said no one had ever brought to his desk. He made a promise that he would investigate the report and invite me for an update within 48 hours.

In less than 24 hours of my report, I was invited by the Immigration boss. Upon my arrival to his office, I was given a VIP treat. The Jendral, that is the Immigration boss, started with an apology on behalf of the entire Immigration and Indonesian government. He went further to tell me that the officer who extorted money from me accepted he did it, and implicated four other senior “intelligent” officers who were involved in the indecent act. He narrated that the five senior officers had been dismissed immediately, that their dismissal letter would be given to them at the end of our meeting.

A sealed envelope was handed over to me. Inside the envelope were an apology letter and a sum of $1,600usd. The Jendral did not know that the money enclosed in the envelope was above the amount they collected from me. He was so amazed when I told him the money was in excess of my money. He decided to confirm it himself and discovered that the corrupt officers at the Airport enclosed all the money they forcibly collected from Nigerians on board the Emirates Airline that conveyed me to Jakarta that day.

That was how I salvaged other Nigerians who arrived the Airport from that moment onwards. I was told Nigerian passport holders are now being attended to with full respect at the point of entry. The era of $500 to $1,000 bribe for nothing has been defeated.

Funny enough, the Nigerian Ambassador to Indonesia, who I first reported this case to, did absolutely nothing about it. He once told the Consular General, Emabassy of Nigeria, Indonesia, to inform me that they were still trying to get an appointment with the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Indonesia. Two months gone and they are still booking appointments. If I had waited for them, my money would have gone and our citizens visiting Indonesia for businesses would still be suffering intimidation and extortion. This is why nobody cared to report this crime to our Embassy because they all know that the report will be swept under the carpet.

In the photos are the petitions (with different addresses), Immigration form (Purpose of visit) and Immigration Letter of refund.

Replying you is a waste of time. U don't know the Bible. So the killers of Stephen were also fulfilling Bible prophesy? The example of the good Samaritan,was the person he helped a member of his church or a fellow Samaritan? They have showed you Bible verses where christ said you should love your enemies but the spirit of the antichrist doesn't let u see it.oh pagans

Matt5:43-48
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Was the fig tree human? Did christ die for a fig tree? But christ died for your enemy. Was the fig tree his enemy? Were the pharisees his enemy?but christ prayed for and forgave his killers.
If we draw a parallel it means it's okay to abuse dem oyedepo and adeboye that distort the gospel but it is not okay to curse our enemies. The pharisees were elders of religion and these are the only set of people christ was not happy with

Jones4190:
I expect you to said even Jesus ask God or his disciple to kill the Pharisees, people like make Christianity tired us. Jesus preach message of peace throughout his three years of his ministration, Five times altogether that Jesus ask his disciple to love one another:
John 13:34 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
John 13:35 "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
John 15:12 "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
John 15:17 "These things I command you, that you love one another.
You rush to quote the fig tree as if it a human, why not quote the greatest commandment: Matthew 22:36-40
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
You neighbor can be a Fulani herdsmen, Muslim, terrorist, Christian e t c

babythug:
Such a shame and i do feel for your situation.

I worked under such circumstances for five years until i could take it no more. As a matter of fact,my letter of resignation was stained with a few tears as i typed and submitted it.

These are my tips and lessons i learnt from the experience:

1. shes unlikely to change her attitude but you must be responsible for your action and indeed attitude, make sure you constantly exude positivity and a cheerful disposition.
2. Be extremely professional, keep your domestic ish away from the office as best as you can. Do not get familiar with her or any of your other colleagues, no need for pleasntries beyond formal greetings and thats that. The less she and other colleagues know about you, the less ammunition anyone has against you.
3. Do your best to meet and exceed targets and key perfomance areas and indicators! Be seen to be stretching your back. If a report is due on Monday, ensure its ready for submission by Friday afternoon even if you dont hand it in. You may even send it in on sunday so it looks like you
are busting your ass for the organisation even in your spare time.
4. Pray, pray, pray and pray some more. For new and better external opportunities and so that you dont fall into any traps/pits

5. In further reference to no 2 please make sure you're not getting to work late or calling in sick or using company time to attend to domestic matters often!

6. Dont join office cliques, gang ups against her or join in general office gossip. Its never a good idea.

7. always be proactive - anticipate stuff and remain ahead. Little things count.


8. Dress as sharply as you can, even with second hand wears ensure you always look your best! Itll help in boosting your confidence and no one will be quick to talk down at you when your appearance is generally on point

Jones4190:
go and dust your bible wherever it is and explain the following verse for me.
Luke 23:24 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”

Proverbs 16:7 When a man’s ways are pleasing to the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Romans 12:20-21 Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he’s thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don’t let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good.
1 Peter 3:9 Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t snap back at those who say unkind things about you. Instead, pray for God’s help for them, for we are to be kind to others, and God will bless us for it.

Mark 11:25 NIV, “ And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

I wait for your respond

That's d average igbomans warped logical reasoning for u o.

Hypocrisy (so) runs deep in ur veins.
The 'deal breaker' for u was her calling u ''Awon okoro'' and for having d temerity to ask " why an Igbo boy was in charge" and as a result, "it was d beginning of her many nightmares " until u ensured she was ultimately fired.
A couple of weeks ago, an Igbo soldier brazenly posted on social media how he hates Yoruba's with a passion, and as we speak, he's still he's still in d pay roll of biafran Nigerian army. Heavens did not fall:

Igbo's, what u can't take is what u dish out. That's d perfect definition of hypocrisy!
The lopsidedness in ur (ipob) reasoning ehnnnnn, na follow come.

Mazi Uwazurike, please what have u to say?

BaaleOko:
Igbophobic idiot, BaaleOko you are a worthless reprobate whose hypocrisy can be preened through the thickest smokescreen. Why did you conveniently skip the part in my post where the Yoruba staffs having realized I was in charge and knew I was Igbo, started using derogatory terms like "Aje okuta ma momi" to demean me in Yoruba? BaaleOko You're a standard bas.tard, a fraud, and a very unprincipled vile character... BaaleOko you can mask your facetiousness even behind the cloak of whatever fake moral ground you take with your pseudo-intellectual shenanigans, but any sane person will smell your filth. If I'm a jaundiced individual, then that's fine (and trust, any more idiots who violate the company policies under my watch will be written up and fired), but BaaleOko you HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT to tag me something you are also guilty of based on your anti-Igbo tribalistic antecedents on here, so yeah iron sharpeneth iron as the good book says, now BaaleOko you can go fucck yourself.

if you care to know I install common sense in empty head like yours free of charge

BaaleOko:
I'm been accused of been jaundiced, cool, could care less... Now what have you to say about the Yorubas who are also more or less insulting my tribe on here? are you suddenly gone blind to that part as well? You're a well known Igbophobic piece of garbage anyway, you archives of bias against Igbos on here are here for all to preen, so you are the least scum to even dare call me out for been whatever tag your irrelevant self deems it for to call me. I won't even waste my time explaining anything to you, I stand against tribalism in my workforce, and any more Yoruba or anybody for that matter who bring that crude Nigerian tribalism nonsense will be promptly terminated from working at my agency, I have such power thanks to God to get rid of filth, now sue me.

Hehehe....look at this tribalistic bigot saying he stands against tribalism in the workplace...?!

alBHAGDADI:
This is one lie which will burn you later when you get the job and you are asked to bring your credentials. Part of the documents they will request for is the employment letter given to you by previous company, and it usually contains information like terms and conditions which includes salary. They do this to verify if you are actually who you say you are.

If you told the HR you earn N100,000 at your previous work place whereas your employment letter show N60,000, they will deny you the job because you are dubious. No company will want to employ a shady employee. It's such that forge document to dupe the company.

Your approach is dubious and fraudulent. HRs are smart.

But the approach in the OP is perfect because it tells the HR that the job seeker is smart and knows his worth. If the pay they are offering is good, it should be left to the job seeker to accept it, reject it or even request for more.

You see, if the job seeker successfully keeps his previous pay private and he gets the new job, the HR will be marveled when he discovers that he actually earned way lesser than they offered him. This the HR will find out from his credentials which must contain his employment letter from previous company. That alone will tell the HR that they employed a smart person for the job who will wriggle himself out of a tight angle to get his desire.

Angelfrost:
After all this your write up, you concluded by encouraging job applicants to lie barefacedly... The Op's approach is way better for godly people, and those with integrity. Thank you.

Why we usually have CS is when the baby is bridge, heart rate not abnormal, mother's cervix not favourable, two previous CS and so on, please I advice you register at good hospital which has experts to avoid story that touch the heart because it is better to have mother and baby doing well than to scramble to save the mother.
