Events › Re: What Happened At My First Burial Job As A Photographer. by lonelydora: 1:57pm On Sep 26, 2023 |
Timagex: DISCLAIMER : READ THIS AT NIGHT FOR MAXIMUM ENJOYMENT! 
The year was 2014 and I have just been hired to cover a christian burial ceremony in Ibadan where I was based. It was my first burial job, so, it was a big deal. I was not in the least nervous because I have attended burials and seen dead bodies before. Little did I know that I was in for an experience. A typical Nigerian christian burial ceremony usually has lined up activities like the wake, the service of songs, lying in state, etc. My experience happened shortly after the wake. The wake is usually conducted around the early evening time of the day. The coffin containing the “papa or mama” will be laid in a decorated room and people will come to pay their respect. This is called the lying in state. The arrangement was the same at this burial. The deceased was a bit popular in the area and this resulted in a large turnout. I was not able to take some essential and important shots because of the crowd, so, I had to patiently wait. It was around some minutes to 7pm when I finally had my chance to take pictures as most of the guests had left by then. I got into the room, left the door opened, turned on my reliable nikon d40x and started taking my own “essential shots” of the decorations, the coffin alone, etc. and then it happened! Guy, you funny die.  |

Na wa o
This should have been a police case na.
There's a big problem with Nigerian security personnel. Once they have gun, they think themselves as demigods.
Also, that Tavor series gun DSS (I also see some NAVY officer with it too) use should be handled carefully. It's not a gun to threaten someone with, because it discharges at the slightest trigger.
God will continue to punish Muhammadu Buhari wherever he is. He brought all these nonsense upon Nigeria |

Education › Re: Stop Sending Your Children For Holiday Lessons by lonelydora: 1:07pm On Aug 21, 2023 |
Oduok: Sending kids to holiday lessons makes no sense.
Most of you will make your kids go to school till they become useless. You took them to school at age 3 and abandon them there. During long vacation you still send them to school. To do what?
Can't you spend time to bond with your kids? What exactly are they going to achieve in school during vacation? Vacation lesson only favour school owners, not you. Allow kids rest for God's sake.
If you should engage kids during long vacation then teach them skills. Enrol your kids in centres that they can learn practical computer usage, coding, programming, painting and decoration, catering, musical instruments. Let them learn martial art, how to shot guns, how to wrestle. Teach them something beyond pure academics.
If a school should organize long vacation class then it should gear towards extra curricula activities - debate, modelling, music concert, science fair, mini project. How would you call kids back to school during holiday to learn Math, English, Chemistry, Social studies, accounting, by same teachers that taught them during school period. What is the difference? If these teachers knew what to teach why didn't they do it during normal school session.
Education is beyond memorizing facts. Give your kids opportunity to develop and be better prepare for life. I don talk this same taya |
Romance › Re: My Mum Is Strongly Rejecting The Girl I Want To Marry by lonelydora: 1:03pm On Aug 21, 2023 |
Blaze14k: I would like to use this opportunity to seek guidance based on the issue I have on ground. I believe it's igbos especially elderly person who is in a better position to give me a reasonable explanation. I told my mum my girlfriend is from ohafia, abia state and she instantly told me I can't get married to her. Her reason is because people from ohafia, arochukwu, izombe, and few other places in abia state are regarded as OSU. I complained to other members of my family but they also rejected her.
I have made some research personally and found out people from other part of igboland marry from those places. Now my question is why are they strongly rejecting her cos it doesn't make sense to call everybody from different local government in abia state OSU.
I've made more research on the girls family and found out they are king makers and her father belongs to eze's cabinet.
Her father and mine are no longer alive. They both have a traditional title and belong to eze's cabinet too. Please I need your advice cos I really want marry this girl. I also know that people encounter alot of difficulties when they want to get married. So I need a clarification from someone who has extensive knowledge on igbo tradition. Thank you Ah! My Ohafia? First, who told your mum Ohafia people are OSU? Your mum lacks history. The best thing you will do for yourself is to marry that Ohafia girl. Ohafia people are hospitable. Inbox me, let tell you what to do. Which village in Ohafia is the girl from? What's the family name? |
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: What Next After You Realized You Botched A Job Interview? by lonelydora: 9:45am On Aug 08, 2023 |
Your poor performance starts from preparing just one week to the interview date.
The problem with most Nigerians is they think interview is like a class examination where you have to read the toughest part of the course. No bi so.
The ability to communicate and be understood is what makes one ace any interview.
If you are fluent and have basic knowledge of the job you are applying, you will pass any interview.
My first job interview, the HR asked if I have a girlfriend, omo... I use that one hold them for blokos. I funnily narrated how we have been faring and how I will apply that skill on the job.
They all laughed and I got the job later.
Be a good communicator |
