sarrki:
Are you part of the beneficiary?

I had earlier decided to ignore your activities on this forum after you couldn't answer some of the questions i have asked you on several occasions, but your sanctimonious response on this thread has repeatedly portrayed you has a sycophant whose social networking activities are apparently hypocritical in nature.

I would like you to tell me what valid convictions you have at your disposal that this Pastor isnt called of God,

I have not seen any reserved man of God call anybody baby Christian yet you have gone about showing off the few memory verse you know.

This man has given back to the society than the President of Nigeria has, considering the fact that Buhari is a bigger Scammer who controls the national budget yet hasn't even fulfield any promise.

Dont you think you are blind to reason considering the fact that you are supporting a government that is yet to pass the 2017 budget almost 3months into the year, yet you call yourself a progressive, and call a man that went against the fraudulent activities of a Fulani castle rustlers a fake man....Dodnt you realize that an Adult christian isnt suppose to judge.

Sarrki you are not even good at your job, i can recommend books that would help you sharpen your PR skills and develop a better understanding of the Nigerian political space in a bid to discharge your duties subtly and effortlessly.

NOte i[b]f you are a christain i would expect that you wait till the man is declared guilty of any offense before you make certain pronouncements on him.....Even the Jesus you believe in did not act this way towards a convicted prostitute.... Always ask yourself am i being true to myself before you come out to take any action......use your conscience [/b]

Dear candidate thanks for taking out time...... or Dear Candidate congratulations.....

I pray its the later for us

Daboomb:
May you always remain a "common man" so that your Governor can keep relating with you and buy Rice from you at the road side.

Just say AMEN make l hear....

Ignorant clowns who cant differentiate `````````````````````disgrace from applause!

In as much as i wont want to acknowledge the fact that you got offensive when you read my opinion, i would implore you to be kind enough to read through what i wrote and ask yourself if i at any point affiliated the mans gesture as a cardinal point of good governance.

I only drew an inference on how it was possible for someone like Fayose to defeat Fayemi based on the mans perceived shared comradeship with his people.....something i think of as a PR strategy...

It might interest you to know that i am of the opinion that no Nigeria leader since the collapse of the first republic has done anything worthwhile, not even the so called Donald Duke or Fashola....

So gentleman/lady i would advise that you read what i wrote not what you thought i wrote.

Kind regards

Now i see....There is no way Fayemi would have beaten this kind of guy....this guy relates with the common man daily unlike the usual politicians who come around days before elections...

This theory is true for ordinary girls and not the extraordinary ones....

Briffault theory asserts that intimate relationships between men and women result from a calculated cost/benefit analysis by women. Will she or won’t she acquire a net gain from any relationship with the man? This does not necessarily mean monetary gain, although it might. Other types of gain might be social status, sexual compatibility, anticipated future happiness, emotional security, and the male’s capacity for fatherhood. Men, put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Briffault continues with these three corollaries to his law:

Even though a woman has accrued past benefits from her relationship with a man, this is no guarantee of her continuing the relationship with him. (Translation: What have you done for me lately?)

If a woman promises a man to continue her relationship with him in the future in exchange for a benefit received from him today, her promise becomes null and void as soon as the benefit is rendered.

A man’s promise of a future benefit has limited ability to secure a continuing relationship with a woman, and his promise carries weight with her only to the extent that the woman’s wait for the benefit is short and to the extent that she trusts him to keep his promise.


If we accept Briffault’s law at face value, women derive diminishing marginal utility from their relationships with men after acquiring the desired benefits. This one still has something to gain from that guy....

sarrki:
Is because they know the truth and only the truth can set them free

Jonah failed them and humanity

Chai, sarrki how much are you been paid,

NeedGiftcards:
Lol ..Y'all should till his refinery is completed come 2019.. Top 10 sure am.. Very smart man..

You cant be top 10 in the world while you are producing" tangible goods that can be easily replicated.....Nobody has, the service industry is what drives wealth... Warren Buffet(the wizard of oklahoma) Jefff Bozz, Mark, Gates, Otega... what do they have in common? they offer services that you and i cant resist....if you want to bring him down, pass a law that permits cement importation or allow foreign investment in the cement industry...

Adenuga is the only Billionaire in Nigeria that can compete with or without government support..... He started selling #200000 sim card for #5000 and also decided to sell data cheap, he is not relying on government to kill MTN or Etisalat for him to succeed, Dangote kills his competitors using governments power....Look around you and you would notice that every industry he enters all other players pack up with Larfarge cement been the only exception.......

If Nairaland where to be an American company, Dangote wont stand Seun.....because he cant grow without killing others

At the moment i have a feeling that if i have sex with you as a lady....i would not respect you, so a relationship for me entails character building, sharing dreams and some real passionate moments of triumps, saddness joy and looking out for each other.

I just dont entertain the idea of premarital sex because it doent make me different.... Sex is good and have gotten some crazy styles i want to try out, but the ease of getting sex and the prestige girls attach to that thing under their leg at the expense of brains or character is just too overbloated...

Chai, see Nairalanders falling for what is Normal, after going through hell in the hands of some companies HR personnel..who wont..

I felt the same way when i went for ARM's internship exercise while in school, The babes could inspire a dead man back to life,they were speaking English like Amanpour of CNN, and dolling out achievement like its a normal thing..

ARM analyst: i find your motivation letter quite appealing..

Me: Thank you ma(like a mumu)

ARM analyst: call me Tayo( she said it with a smile)

Me: yes ma

ARM analyst:you said wanted a Careear where your....is ....but your....is ....

Me: yes

ARM: you could have it here..

Me: absolutely ma

ARM analyst: one of our client in the steel sector has noticed a drop in it market share of recent and is worried about what could be wrong, as the firms operating experience has been the same, what do you think is wrong

Me: are there any assumptions here.

ARM: Yes.....(insert my name) they government is considering reviewing legislation that is going to liberalize the sector further and allow the more participants but that isnt a problem yet

Me: are there alternatives to what is been produced by the firm and what are the consumers saying...

The conversation ended after a while and the babe told me, what i should have done diffferently etc...

Everybody in the firm that day was Behind, the babes were smart, the guys where balling and you suddenly want to feel you were intelligent and wished you were walking there now....

My downfall came when their CEO now Mrs Jumoke interviewed me, i cant forget that conversation

I entered the room, the place was lighted with a green bulb, two sofas and a stood inbetween with wine and two class cup.

CEO: what has the experience been like all day.

Me: fine ma

CEO: you mind a drink

Me: no ma,

CEO: so you said in your application that you are always up to date with current happenings, whats going on in the world right now

Me: Sir Alex ferguson just retired, there is war in seria, and the libyan situation is geting out of hand..( i should have said what was happening in the finance world)

CEO: interesting( with a smile), sell your self to me in five minutes.

Me: started saying family history and how i like country music etc( foolish boy)

CEO: Do you have any question for me

Me: how would i fit in to your organization

CEO:our interns....blah blah....

The conversation lasted for like 30minutes while the whole exercise lasted a day, with a tea break, lunch with a staff, team work, aptitude test and a time to meet fellow applicants+ #5000 for transport...

Since then, i know a good company immediately i step in to write their aptitude test....

Most HR departments in Nigeria needs a complete overhaul...

Yeoja:
A synonym for version is edition. From that, older version of a magazine could be an older edition or print.

Disclaimer: i might be wrong

What is the old version of a GSM(smartphone)..... a land line? or the first set of smartphones

Whats the old version of a CD..... a vHs or a CD that was produced in 1999?

They further said bring an old version of me not... bring an old copy of me

Mayor15.... The answer to the riddle is obviously a magazine....but they said bring an old version of me... so am thinking... what existed/can be the older version of a magazine is it not a Newspaper?..... taking into consideration the logic of the argument that a Cd is the new version of a gramaphone/ VHS

So an old version of a magazine is a very old one

Economics, Geography(ui) Sociology

structural94:
I THINK THE ANSWER TO THIS RIDDLE IS A PEN

Whats the old version of a pen

I say this without any sense of apology:::: those suggesting we create a what app group are not only selfish individuals but S t **u p i d folks...

Look at the progress we have made since Friday.... has anyone stopped coming on line?

If this thred" was not created would you have started telling us to create a Whatapp group...

Interview is starting tomorrow and you are asking us to create a group today.... are you cable of critical thinking?

Incase you dont know, most Nigerians use Nairaland than any other social platform in Nigeria.... which makes it the most accessible Site in Nigeria.... only Google and Facebook comes near

How would you have discovered this post if someone started it on Whatappp.

Have you seen how the post of yester years helped people....

Go on whatapp, i have notin to lose....but i think that a rather S t u p i d idea of networking....

When is your interview and time

Thursday, 11

I think the best thing to do now is to pick each of the possible alternatives and look for loopholes in them

I is a picture so refletive of the past while holding out for the future? and what is probably an older version of a picture?? probably an old one

2 can a newspaper fit into the dreams part? and why

3 A gramaphone/ ( not sure of the spelling) VHS does it really remain the same....

4 Film strip.... if a memory card is the modern version... don't you think a picture is a better alternative...

Let us analysis each of this options and more like this, to arrive at an answer.

mayoor15:
Oga o, getting more confused now

or whats is the modern version of a film strip?

mayoor15:
It's an assessment centre that will technically end with an interview, what do you think about a film strip

Bro,am yet to match it against the riddle since yesterday... i was so scared when i saw that that ancient music discket they used in Kunle Afolayans movie looked like the answer but thank God a VHS could also fit in, i have doubts about a film strip(the one the put inside a camera) because its modern version which is a memory stick doesn't seem to fit in....

And hope you guys are preparing for the interview, but come to think of it,,,what kind of an interview lasts for 2hours? are we also in for an assessment center scenario?

SacrodAYAN:
I might just end up going with a video cassette.... Still an old version of a CD.....mail didn't say how old

You are technically right....if the CD is the answer to this quest
Sharaha

All of you that went to church today, hope you told your pastor about it??

LaRochelle:
Actually, 28 IASs...they are not up to 41 as some have been scrapped/replaced.

Oya... see accountants, the reason why i advised folks that picked the accounting track to focus on particular accounting standard related to the energy/petroleum sector is just to sound more impressive during interviews, imagine discussing peculiarities of the exception of iAS when it comes to the petroleum industry in Nigeria where there is a local standard... you would definitely sound more knowledgeable than the Brilliant guy who Knows all the IAS and cant apply his knowledge in an imaginative way....

Folks, is that the final answer to the riddle?

Emirates101:
You act like you know the answer but playing with us. If you know the answer abeg help us . Na beg we dey beg Longman

Bro forget everybody na learner, i just want to be sure we all" have agreed on an answer that fits the riddle

So everyone is rooting for the Gramaphone stuff??

agroronnie:
Guys..... lets not over think this, in every riddle the answer is always right in front of you. Think of the answer we have given so far that meets at least 95% of the description. An album is not as thin as a newspaper, a diary too, cd cannot be rumpuled, infact if it cannot be squeezed its not the answer.
Meanwhile, i wonder what the interview for accounting and audit will be like, probably the reporting standards, auditing standards, book keeping, tax questions.... i hope.... share your thoughts please

Guy, its probably going to be a case study scenario... just imagine a Mckinsey styled case study but this time around on an accounting issue...(maybe not in the interview but later on)..... and guy go and learn the accounting standards particular to the Nigerian petroleum industry plus do a little bit of reading on Tax polices affecting the Pet industry

mayoor15:
Hand-waving is an idiomatic metaphor, derived in part from the use of excessive gesticulation , perceived as unproductive, distracting or nervous, in communication or other effort. [citation needed] The term also evokes the
sleight-of-hand distraction techniques of stage magic , [2] and suggests that the speaker or writer seems to believe that if they, figuratively speaking, simply wave their hands, no one will notice or speak up about the holes in the reasoning. [2] This implication of misleading intent has been reinforced by the pop-culture influence of the Star Wars franchise, in which mystically powerful hand-waving is fictionally used for mind control, and some uses of the term in public discourse are explicit Star Wars references. [3]





What if from


The wave of a hand, never destroying Crinkle, crisp, clear – described

is just to distract us,


what we are actually searching for is




from


Thin and colourful, custodian of dreams and wishes adorned; holding the thoughts of yesterday and the hopes of tomorrow Of pictures, of speeches, of words with lasting laughter that stays the same time and time again

Oya!!!! lets go there

Deejames:
I really commend the the level of intelligence that has been displayed so far.

However, while giving those descriptions a closer look, do you think the CD meets the description in the second to last? That "a wave of hand, never destroying".

In my opinion, I think it's a newspaper or something like that. Imagine how one flips through pages of it (as if one is waving his hands which truly never destroys it). I think newspaper also meets all the other descriptions (I wouldn't want to analyse that so as not to bore you with a lenghty post). In that same regard, one thing I'd like to draw our attentions to is that the "crinkle, crisp, clear..." are used as verbs. Think of it in the context that the item is describing itself with this: I crinkle (fold), I crisp (clearly define things), and I clear (clarify). So while a CD could crisp and clear, it can't crinkle (which a newspaper does).

NB: all the synonyms I gave to the words above are gotten from my android phone's English dictionary.

What do you guys feel?

Hello, i think a newspaper is gradually appearing to be a better alternative than the picture, though not totally,

Thin and colourful, mordern day newspapers are thin(like tissue pappers) and colorful(courtesy of Mtn and burial advert)

custodian of dreams and wishes adorned; holding the thoughts of yesterday and the hopes of tomorrow every newspaper you pick up has an historical perspective while holding out for the future in some sought of ways.. through suggestions and editorials and event that are sheduled to happen in future

Of pictures, of speeches, of words with lasting laughter that stays the same time and time again a newspaper contains all of this things except the laughter part which can be said to be captured

The wave of a hand, never destroying Crinkle, crisp, clear You wave your hands when turning through the pages of a newspaper, the lines are clear... Am yet to fully understand theme of Crinkle...

So far only a picture contends with this.

Tee2014:
Guys as much as A "CD" sounds perfect, except with the dangling premise of the word "crinkle".

Firstly, I would you all to take note of the word "of" which is a preposition that relates a "part" to the "whole". Which means that the item can actually be seen or found in "pictures, speeches, words with lasting laughter" not necessarily meaning that the item actually contains such.


Secondly, as much as everyone who is contributing and has contributed here, has good intentions, there are individuals "guests' and non-contributing individuals that just want to sabotage our combined efforts.
As you all would have noticed, this is also another "sieving out" stage, and despite this show of teamwork, no one would want his or her place to be taken unfairly.

So i'll suggest we restrict the use of this platform, for giving tips alone, and not the final "answer", that in itself is enough for whomever and whosoever that decides to contribute or not. It pays to receive the benefits and rewards of hardwork.

Sadly a part of me agrees with this guy, and i must admit that most folks on Nairaland don't share their knowledge with others when it comes to selective job opportunities like this, little wonder nobody has made it into all this selective organization on Nairaland of recent....lets change if it is possible...

Are there other possibilities asides a photograph and a compact Disk.?

Emirates101:
I have two options , a CD or a Passport photo.. the only description that doesn't fit the CD is the "crinkle" tbh. Everything else is apt

Neither does a passport hold the thoughts of tomorrow... a passport probably doest have an old version(partially)...

maryjabeez:
