Despite the 'hard knock' life in the centre of excellence, Lagos state still stands out as the land of opportunities, have been taking survey of all the vacant placements here on Nairaland since December and I must confess that 80 percent of the job opportunities are in Lagos state, while the others share the remaining 20percent including our 'so called' FCT where I reside. That's commendable I must confess whatever lagos is doing that's working for them in terms of employment other states should take a cue. N/B Am not saying there is no unemployment in Lagos but it better compared to other states. |

OP's thought- after reading this I must confess that while ii respect the intelligence of rastafarians, idolising Haile Selassie this much goes to show how much weed can mess your senses up. |
1. King, God or Redeemer? Think about Rastafari and you’ll immediately conjure images of the charismatic reggae master Bob Marley and his headful of swirling dreadlocks. Marley is certainly a Rastafari icon, but there is another man at the heart of the Jamaican movement. He is Ras Tafari: that was the birth name of Ethiopia's 225th and last emperor, who was born on 23 July 1892, and took the regal name Haile Selassie I when he was crowned. For Rastas, he is God (or Jah) incarnate - the redeeming messiah. Nearly 8,000 miles separate Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, and Kingston, Jamaica, but a link between them was forged by a number of poor black Jamaicans who believed Ras Tafari’s coronation was the fulfillment of a prophecy and that he was their redeemer, the messiah written of in the Bible’s Book of Revelation: “King of Kings, Lord of lords”. They believed he would arrange for a deliverance, which, as they saw it, involved a miraculous transformation. They would be spirited away from their lives of poverty in the Caribbean and relocated in Africa, the land of their ancestors and their spiritual epicentre. 2.From Ras Tafari to Haile Selassie Emperor Selassie uncovers a statue in his honour at his coronation in Addis Ababa. This video has no sound. Tafari was a son of a chief adviser to Emperor Menelik IIl, one of Ethiopia's greatest rulers. Since childhood, his intelligence impressed the Emperor, who facilitated his political career. When in 1930 Menelik II's daughter Empress Zauditu died, Tafari was crowned emperor. Haile Selassie's coronation was a lavish event attended by royals and representatives from all over the world. The New York Times reported on the expensive gifts received by the attendees and speculated that the celebrations may have cost more than $3,000,000. Time Magazine dedicated its iconic cover to the Emperor: it was a world sensation. Soon after his coronation, Haile Selassie gave Ethiopia its first written constitution, which greatly restricted the powers of Parliament. Effectively, he was the Ethiopian government. Succession to the throne was restricted to his descendants and, the constitution stated, "the person of the Emperor is sacred, his dignity inviolable, and his power indisputable." But in Jamaica, Haile Selassie was becoming more than the name of a powerful emperor. 3.Marcus Garvey and the vision of Africa “Look to Africa when a black king shall be crowned, for the day of deliverance is near.” This was the prophecy that started it all. The prophecy was Marcus Garvey’s. Garvey was a Jamaican activist who campaigned for political and social change on an island that had been an important centre for slavery. After the slave trade was abolished in 1833 and Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation freed "all persons held as slaves", life did not improve dramatically for ex-slaves, their children and successive generations of black people. It's unclear whether the “black king” Marcus Garvey had referred to was an actual person; more likely, he meant it as a symbolic figure. But, when news of Haile Selassie's coronation in 1930 reached Jamaica, many of Garvey’s followers made what seemed to them a logical link. Ras Tafari was the king, and so the day of deliverance was imminent. That meant they should prepare themselves for an exodus to Africa. Although Marcus Garvey was never actually a Rastafarian, he is considered to be one of the religion's prophets, as his ideals heavily shaped the Rastafarian philosophy. Only a few years after Haile Selassie's coronation, Ethiopia became involved in a terrible war. 4.War in Ethiopia In 1935, Benito Mussolini's troops invaded Ethiopia and, in 1936, Haile Selassie fled in exile with his family. That year, he delivered a famous speech to the League of Nations in Geneva, appealing for help to fight the invaders. Although during that time he tried to raise awareness for the Ethiopian cause in Europe, Selassie spent five years away from his country. He stayed mainly at Bath's Fairfield House, but he also briefly stayed in London - a time that is commemorated by a bust in the city's Cannizaro Park - and in Malvern, in Worcestershire. Marcus Garvey heavily criticised him for leaving his own countrymen at the mercy of Italy. Haile Selassie reinstituted his powers as emperor in 1941, with support from Britain. Visit to Jamaica On April 21, 1966, Haile Selassie visited Jamaica. This was 36-years after his coronation and the enthusiasm of Rastas was undimmed. There was now a new generation of Rastas, many of whom still harboured the vision of an African exodus. Haile Selassie was overwhelmed by the rapturous reception. He did nothing to dispel thoughts of his divine status. By this time, Garvey had died and his criticism of Haile Selassie forgotten in Jamaica. But around the world, the jury was not unanimous. Although he wanted to project the image of a progressive emperor, he faced accusations of being a greedy dictator. Among the rapturous crowds who turned out to honour their redeemer was the wife of a 21 year old Jamaican musician. He had just formed a band called the Wailers and his name was Robert Nesta Marley. 5.The Rastaman cometh Bob Marley was arguably the most influential Rasta in history. He never claimed to be a prophet, though his songs had a prophetic character; and he was never a leader, though his many followers treated him as one. Marley and his band the Wailers, in 1973, released their album Catch a Fire. Two years later the album Natty Dread sold well internationally. Both records were loaded with Rasta symbols and motifs, prompting music fans to ask questions about their meanings. By the time of the release of Rastaman Vibration in 1976, there were Rastas in practically every British city and in many parts of North America. Young black people had fashioned their hair into the long coiled dreadlocks, as worn by Marley, were carrying what were called prayer sticks (i.e. walking canes) and wearing clothes in the colours of the Ethiopian flag, green, yellow and red, usually with the addition of black. While their parents were, in the main, Christians, young blacks in places like London, Birmingham and Manchester, were drawn to a different theology, which incorporated a political critique. All around them they saw evidence of Babylon, personified in the police, but were guided by an image of deliverance in the form of Africa. 6.I and I Famine and revolution Back at home, things took a turn for the worse for Emperor Selassie. In 1973, a terrible famine killed approximately 200,000 Ethiopians, mostly in Wollo province. Only a year later, the Derg, a group of army officers with a Marxist agenda, overthrew Haile Selassie in a military coup. Sick and imprisoned, he died in 1975. 'Lies of Babylon' Haile Selassie's death was described by his followers as his 'disappearance', since they refused to believe he had passed away. And when the subject came up, the phrase 'lies of Babylon' was frequently used in the Rasta community. Many Rastas believed the white-dominated structure they called Babylon had propagated a falsehood in an attempt to undermine the then fast-growing Rastafarian movement. Others discounted the news by pointing out that Jah (the Rasta name for God) had temporarily occupied the earthly body of Haile Selassie. The passing of Haile Selassie’s body was merely a sign that Jah was not just a human being but also a spirit. A third interpretation and the one most Rastas adhere to, concerns the concept I and I: this refers to the essential unity of all humanity; we may inhabit different human bodies, but we are all spiritually united. Haile Selassie may have gone, but to see him as a single deity misunderstands the meaning of Rastafari: his spirit lies in all of us and can’t be extinguished. From birth, we are all ephemeral bodies, but our souls live on. 7.How does Haile Selassie live in music? Many musicians wrote songs inspired by Selassie. Bob Marley's song War, is almost verbatim from his speech before the United Nations in 1963. Source: BBC africanleadership.co.uk/blog/?p=4509 |
Rapsowdee01:You too like free things, oya go sleep all your mates are sleeping. |
The church is not a museum for good people, it an hospital for the broken. The son of God never supports self righteousness, Jesus and religion are on opposite spectrum. Religion is man searching for God, Christianity is God searching for man....... |

Sometimes girl usually amaze me they think the only way they can get favours from men is by manipulating and deceiving guys even when it not necessary. This is a conversation I had with a girl who was trying to ask for airtime. Have been trying to ask her for a relationship for a while now but she said no, she barely even reply my chats so you could see the surprise on my face last night when she chatted me up and even called me 'my love' only to beg for airtime later on. Of cos I wud send the airtime just to contribute to charity but for her mind now she don catch maga.

The general election has since come and gone and the reflections from that election has since shown how much power the electorates wields with their votes, issues in the recent weeks as shown how PDP was trying so hard to kick money around as usual to buy votes; we've seen how in recent weeks how the former Minister of finance and Dasuki can not explain the missing of billions of dollars. The APC should learn something from here that there are still things money can't just buy in Nigeria politics, the only way out now is good governance and no short cuts. |
manny4u:Hmmmmmmm! My first front page. I dedicate ds one to my dog 'shally' you see I told you one day I told you one day e better. And to my fellow applicant let's keep hoping it can only get better and to those lazy human resource managers that are intentionally delaying our appointment letters, 'don't worry continue diaris God oooo' and to does organisations that are under employing our graduates and paying them peanuts don't worry continue the thunder wey go fire una still dey do press up. |
Being unemployed is one of the difficult realities in Nigeria, but when calls for interviews and aptitude test eventually comes the process and the wait is usually even more challenging and frustrating. Some can take as long as 2 years and the minimum I have seen so far is 6months. Why are organisations taking so long to conclude there recruitment process without even giving some mood of explanation to the applicants? |
Well I know it Harmattan but you can still sleep naked under a very thick blanket naked, sleeping unclad boost self confidence it scientifically proven. |

THERE’S a good chance you probably wear something in bed - but perhaps it’s time you changed the habit of a lifetime and got naked. Scientists and relationship psychologists say there are some major benefits to sleeping in the nude. Here are five of the best reasons: 1. IT’S MORE HYGIENIC Sleeping in your pants encourages yeast and bacteria to prosper, particularly when you are warm in bed. Going commando effectively airs it out and decreases bacteria build up. 2. YOU’LL SLEEP BETTER The National Sleep Foundation say the cooler you are the deeper a sleep you will have. Your body temperature should naturally decrease as you go into a deeper sleep. Layers of clothes can prevent this. 3. YOU’LL HAVE A BETTER LOVE LIFE Leading psychologists say sleeping skin-to-skin will increase hormones like oxytocin. This leaves you with a higher desire to have sex. 4. IT GIVES YOU AN INCREDIBLE SENSE OF FREEDOM It is one of the only times you can be truly naked without feeling self-conscious. 5. IT CAN HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT Because sleeping naked keeps your body cooler, your cortisol levels stay low. High cortisol levels, even after waking, it can increase anxiety, cravings for bad food and cause weight-gain. www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/6658046/Why-you-should-be-sleeping-naked.html?CMP=spklr-_-Editorial-_-FBPAGE-_-TheSun-thesun-_-20151205-_-Features-_-296944507-_-Imageandlink |
daretodiffer:Bros calm down this lady has knock you off on ds one, it is 21st century my guy ladies are becoming sexually independent and adventurous too. I had an experience last weekend 'one of my girlfriends' came around and just 5minutes of being in my house I was trying to just gist with her and the next thing she said was 'Manny cut the crap come and make love to me letme go home' I was surprised of cos but with my tail btw my legs I did it and she left. This girl has always been telling me what she likes about me is the dick,dress sense and the height and I have always felt used by ds lady but I can't just resist her, 'the kitten too sweet'. She doesn't want a relationship with me cos she believe am not much a bad boy the way she wants it. So let's live with it women are becoming more adventurous too which is a good thing. Women even pay for sex too ds days incase you don't know it. |
