New York-based interview coach
Pamela Skillings has seen her fair
share of interview-phobics over the
years. Recently, she had a bright
and accomplished client who
dreaded interviews so much that he
stayed in a job he disliked for a
year too long. As a child, he had a
stutter but had learned over time
how to control it. After the stutter
surfaced in a couple of interviews,
he became convinced that it would
come out whenever he got nervous.
His fear took over and became
distracting and stressful, said
Skilling in an email.
Your nerves might be due to a wide
range of things, from speech issues
to rusty interview skills or an
introverted personality. But, the
result is the same, fear of facing the
all-important in-person meeting.
So, what’s an interview-shy
candidate to do? How can you
make yourself appear as convincing
in person as you are on paper and
get over your anxiety?
Can never be too prepared
In the case of Skilling’s client, the
trick for him was to work on his
answers and prepare thoroughly
enough before a meeting to feel
completely confident. “It also
helped him to get candid feedback
on his speaking style and realise
that a hint of stutter coming out
really wasn't a big deal as long as
he could refocus, get back on track,
and give good answers,” she said.
The result: he soon landed a new
job much better suited to his skills
and interests.
A workaround
At the American University of Paris,
director of career development,
Danielle Savage, works with
students and alumni from around
the globe. She says that in many of
the students’ cultures, just the idea
of “selling oneself” is distasteful.
So, when it is time for a job
interview, many of these would-be
employees are already at a
disadvantage.
Savage tries to help current and
former students around this disdain
for self-promotion. She likens the
preparation for an interview to what
marketers do: study up to know
their market.
“As a candidate, you need to know
your potential employers’ needs,
wants and pain points. Then it’s up
to you to craft stories that give
examples of how you used your key
attributes to solve problems similar
to those experienced by your
interviewer,” Savage said in an
email. “This shifts the focus from
what might be perceived as
bragging or mindlessly repeating
what’s on your resume (CV), to
what the employer needs and what
you as a candidate can bring to the
table.”
By explaining your key
accomplishments and how you
solve problems, you will
automatically feel more enthusiastic
and less intimidated, said Savage.
“[You] will naturally come across as
more compelling.” And you might
feel less like you’re selling
something and more like you’re
simply having a friendly
conversation with a colleague.
Steps to take
Joannah Griffin, human resources
manager at Deakin University in
Melbourne, Australia, has a number
of steps she suggests to students
with interview phobias. The first is
to rehearse the interview
beforehand with a family member or
friend to help you feel more at ease
talking about yourself. Second is to
dress for success. “Your
appearance can completely change
the way you feel about yourself,”
she said in an email. “The better
you feel, the more confident you
are.”
Griffin tells her students to take
slow deep breaths to help relax
their bodies. “Close your eyes and
picture the interview progressing
successfully,” she said. “Research
the role, the company and your
abilities to meet the section
criteria. The more you know, the
more confident you will be in being
able to respond to questions.”
Turn the tables
Many interviewees make the
mistake of thinking that the
interviewer is out to get them or trip
them up. But that’s not the case,
said Devora Zack, chief executive
officer at Only Connect Consulting,
a career consulting firm in
Washington, DC, and author of
soon-to-be-published
Singletasking, in an email.
“No interviewer thinks, 'I hope this
candidate is a big waste of my time
and completely blows the
interview.'” said Zack. “They are
thinking 'I hope this person is the
solution. I hope s/he's fantastic.'”
In other words, you both want the
same thing.

The attacks on migrant shop
owners in Durban this week
reminds us the position of
foreigner in South Africa is a
complex one. After decades of
isolation from the rest of the
African continent, and the world,
during apartheid, South Africa
finally opened up to the rest of
world in 1994.
Under apartheid, South Africa’s
immigration mirrored the
narrow mindedness and
prejudice of the National Party.
Several laws made visiting
or living in South Africa
unpalatable to many. Particularly
those of non-European descent.
At the dawn of the “new South
Africa” in 1994, the country
became home to many outsiders
playing a key role in offering
protection and refuge to people
who had suffered unfavorable
conditions in their home
countries.
At the heart of South Africa’s
complex problem with
xenophobia is the loaded
meaning of the term “ foreigner.”
Pejoratively, the term
“foreigner” in South Africa
usually refers to African and
Asian non-nationals.
“Other” foreigners—particularly
those from the Americas and
Europe go unnoticed—they are
often lumped up with “tourists,”
or even better, referred to as
“expats.”
It is this reason why the South
African government says its
hesitant to call the recent attacks
on foreign nationals as
xenophobic.
Many South Africans look at the
attacks on enterprising African
immigrants from Somalia, the
Democratic Republic of Congo,
Mozambique, Nigeria and Malawi
—often running shops, stalls and
other businesses in the informal
economy—and resolve that the
current attacks on foreigners are
more afrophobic, than
xenophobic.
Many ask: “Why is it that a
Somali man can run a shop in a
township, get raided and beaten
up, while a white immigrant in
town continues to run a
restaurant full of patrons?”
It is this delineation that breeds
ground for denial.
While this sentiment may be
correct—that the violent
expression of xenophobia in
South Africa is meted out mainly
against African immigrants – it
is unhelpful to resolve the crisis
that has left many foreign
nationals homeless, tortured and
dispossessed.
While we can ascribe the attacks
to sentiments of Afrophobia, we
must be willing to agree that the
attacks are fuelled by a sense of
hatred, dislike and fear of
foreigners – and that is
xenophobia. And given the fact
that foreign nationals from
Pakistan and Bangladesh have
been profiled in this wave of
attacks, it will soon no longer be
enough for South Africans to cry
“Afrophobia.”
South Africa’s xenophobia
reflects the country’s history of
isolation. As a country at the
Southern most tip of Africa,
South Africans are fond of
referring to their continental
counterparts as “Africans” or
“people from Africa.” Many
business ventures, news
publications and events—aimed
at local audiences—routinely
speak about “going to Africa.”
Of course this narrow-
mindedness, suffered by both
black and white South Africans,
is a by-product of apartheid. For
black people, apartheid was an
insidious tool used to induce
self-hate and tribalize people of
the same race. For white South
Africans, apartheid was a false
rubber-stamp of the white race
as superior.
It is these two conceptions that
gave rise to the myth that South
Africa is not part of the African
continent, but a different place
that just happens to be on the tip
of the continent.
Long after the scourge of
apartheid, it is also clear that
we’re fueling this prejudice in
the present.
It remains to be seen whether
South Africans will break away
from these shackles, and rid
themselves of this horrid
prejudice anchored in our past,
but seemingly fuelled by our
present.

Who else thinks Ameachi shouldn't be on this list?


While everyone else mentioned in the list would sooner or later go into some form of political limbo, its a sure bet that Ameachi would still be heard for the next four (if not eight) years..

Definitely he must have been wounded (politically) by the defeat of APC in Rivers, but he's most definitely not among the CASUALTIES..

Babangida Aliyu: The frog eyed dude few days to the NASS and presidential elections said he saw himself in the Red chambers and subsequently in ASO in 2019... He definitely needs to ask his marabout for a refund

PDP Lagos: Poor things. Pity them because these guys are most definitely going hungry for the next four years (if not more). No more "Alloweee" and "Chop money" from the center. But we still need them to keep APC on their feet

David, the son of Mark: Even if minority leader is offered to him, I see him declining. And he better begins to pray Akume doesn't get the nod to become the number 3 man, else.... Himself understand

[size=17pt]I don't mean to be tribalistic... But on a real I think its time Yoruba let igbos understand (non violently) that they are accommodated in lagos does not mean they own it... This is the sad transition igbos have gradually forged us to take because of the impunity of many towards the yorubas, our land and culture.... That welcoming accomodating host nonesense has to be re-evaluated to preserve our identity as they preserve theirs every where in the east....... If regards of our land nd culture won't be given then why remain so tolerant? [/size]

Point of correction, Nobody's accommodating anybody anywhere. This is Nigeria and until that changes, you can live anywhere you wish to, freely.
Stop thinking backwards...

voxpopp:
Me I sha know without Ibos, Lagos will not develop. Look at the important fields of interest they are well known for.

Prostitution, selling of fake video game discs, fake cds and dvds, fake drugs, peddling of hard drugs, piracy, selling of gala on the highway, selling of okrika clothing items, selling fake vehicle spare parts, importing substandard china goods, importing and exporting aba made clones etc.

This activities are very vital to the economical success of Lagos.

We cannot do without them

They are very vital to us . Pls oba Akiolu, don't kill them for us. We also love their girls with their flat bald heads, moustache, yam legs, and hairy limbs

VickJames:
Shh! Nnayi, go and sit down dia. You wanto spoil my life jacket buznaise?

lol...

A lawyer, Atueyi Chukwudi Felix,
has revealed why he and other
Igbo people who were at the
palace of Oba of Lagos, Oba
Rilwan Akiolu, laughed and
clapped when he threatened and
cursed Igbo if they did not vote
for the All Progressives Congress
governorship candidate,
Akinwunmi Ambode.
Felix said Akiolu was only joking
and speaking with them as
friends, adding that friends were
always free with one another.
He alleged that the person who
did the video the event and
made it public had a political
motive.
The motive, he said, was to curry
favour for the Peoples
Democratic Party.
Felix noted that he felt it was
expedient for him to speak up
before things get out of hand.
He said: “I strongly suspect that
all this is being portrayed in this
manner simply to curry votes for
the Saturday’s coming election,
which is already at hand.”
He stated that the ongoing saga
might compel some people, who
had hitherto been indifferent to
their civic duty, to go out of
anger and vote against the Oba’s
advice, just to dare him.
He said: “What the Oba said was
fully and simply directed to only
the Igbos present at the meeting
who His Majesty considered to
be very close to him and should
understand him well enough.
“When one talks to his very
close friends, he tends to be very
free with them.
“He was being very free with
those present at the meeting and
wanted us to realize how serious
and close he takes us and our
votes because he could not
imagine us giving him our words
only to turn back and do the very
opposite.”
Felix stressed that Akiolu did not
force them to the meeting.
According to him: “We were the
ones that went to him on
solidarity visit, so it would be
very evil of us to only go and
deceive him there.
“He only jokingly warned the
people present at the meeting
who he considered his own
people.”
The lawyer argued that if close
attention was paid to the video,
which went viral, Nigerians
would discover that there was no
specific point he referred to ‘all
the Igbos in Lagos.’
He said that it was because they
were close friends to Akiolu and
understood him quite well that
those of them present at the
occasion applauded and laughed
at the end of his speech.
“We were expected to thereafter
talk to our people in civilized
manner to convince them and
canvass for their votes if we truly
believe we are capable of doing
so,” said Felix. “The tradition of
lagoon water threat was directed
only to those present there at the
meeting, jokingly as culture
demands. Although he appeared
serious, but we all understood it
as a joke, that was why we all
applauded him and made fun of
it there.”
Felix said that he was shocked at
the twist the play took after the
video went viral, stressing that
he suspected serious politics at
play.
He said he wouldn’t know who
recorded the speech and decided
to play politics with it, but “it’s
most unfair to his majesty to be
portrayed in this manner.”

Very good. Goodbye, A. Fayose.

If you believe the APC never enticed electorates with money, then you can believe anything.

Jonathan's case got sour because power must return to the north, Incase you did not read the report, the northern governors or senators who are supposed to disburse the ( pocket infrastructure ) money held on to the money in some case some working against the party so as to give victory to the opposition ( the man from their region ).

Diaris God in everytin we are doing o.

The massive withdrawal of cash
from Deposit Money Banks by
politicians and their associates in
preparation for the general elections
has led to shortage of cash across
bank branches in the country.
It was gathered on Thursday that
several billions of naira had left the
banking system between December
last year and this month as different
political parties spent huge amounts
on their campaigns.
“Many banks are having it rough in
terms of liquidity. Huge deposits
running into several billions of naira
have been withdrawn for election
campaigns by politicians. This has
affected some of the banks. So,
liquidity issue is of utmost concern
right now,” a top official of a tier one
bank told our correspondent.
According to other sources close to
the situation, some lenders have
had to postpone some obligations
due to liquidity problems.
“Banks have been calling and
pleading with some investors not to
terminate maturing fixed-income
debts as a result of liquidity
problems; some bankers are also not
lending not necessarily because of
uncertainties in the economy, but
due to lack of liquidity,” a banker
added.
A number of politicians, he said, had
also sold their properties below the
real values in a bid to raising funds
for campaigns.
Our correspondent, who visited
some bank branches in Lagos and
Ogun states on Wednesday and
Thursday, observed that hundreds of
customers came to withdraw money
from their accounts more in
anticipation of problems during and
after the presidential election on
Saturday.
However, many of the customers
were disappointed because they
could not get the amounts they
requested across the counter and
Automated Teller Machines.
Bank officials said some customers
were making panicky cash
withdrawals to make provision for
their families in case of security
problems after the elections.
A bank official told our
correspondent that it was a sign of
liquidity problem for banks to keep
giving excuses of network
breakdown and employ delay tactics
to force some of their customers to
leave in frustration without being
unable to make withdrawals.
The Managing Director, Afrinvest
Asset Management Company
Limited, the research and investment
arm of Afrinvest West Africa Limited,
Mr. Ola Belgore, said political
spending in the run up to elections
usually affected the banking system
and the economy in general, citing
the examples of what happened in
previous polls.
Belgore is of the opinion that some
banks are currently experiencing
liquidity problems because a
significant part of the huge funds
leaving the banking system for
election campaigns is currently held
in the informal sector.
This, he said, was so because a
major part of the population was
still unbanked.
“Even though there is a lot of
outflow out of the banking system,
the bulk of it is being stored in the
informal sector at the moment
because a large number of Nigerians
are still unbanked,” he noted.
The Managing Director, Dunn Loren
Merrifield Asset Management
Limited, Mr. Tola Odukoya, who
stated that the relationship between
political spending and the banking
system was usually an inverse one,
noted that the onset of the general
elections had had serious adverse
effects on the financial system.
According to him, beyond the
political spending, the increased
risks occasioned by the general
elections have also made several
foreign portfolio investors to hold
back from investing in the country.
This, he said, had led to major
drawbacks in economic activities,
adding that “the effect of the onset
of the general elections on the
financial system has not been
palatable.”
Outlining other factors that had
compounded the banks’ liquidity
problems, the investment expert
said, “The effects of monetary and
fiscal policies in the last several
months have also impacted
negatively on banks’ liquidity. The
effects of the lower crude oil prices
on the economy means the federal
and state governments now have
less money to share.
“We also see the increase in the
Cash Reserve Ratio of public sector
deposits to 75 per cent as a factor.
On the back of this, we also see the
implementation of the Treasury
Single Account; this means banks
do not have access to funds
belonging to the Ministries,
Departments and Agencies of
government. From these, a lot of
liquidity has been sucked out of the
banking system.
“The adverse effect of the not-too-
favourable economic conditions in
the last six months and the
inflationary effects of the
devaluation of the naira have
reduced the income of the average
household; this has also led to
reduction in household savings. So,
it will be difficult for banks to be
very liquid in the face of all these
factors. Some banks may be more
liquid that the others.”
