chai....never been this impressed with a comment coming from a girl on nairaland. please hope you are really a girl ooo because i will like to know you pass nairaland

Na wa o. Girls can't say anything impressive again. That's how you look down on women? Not good, sad.

andyanders:


In fact, you just said my mind and straight to the point. Another part of op's feelings, is that he is too egocentric hence his feelings over who he thinks he is or how he feels his employer/s sees him.

True. Thought so too. Egocentric is the word.

Chommieblaq:



A big hug for you.

You nailed it!

Thanks!

This is the kinda woman I want to marry.

Lol. Marry? Just like that? Nigerian guys sha

I think you are under an illusion of grandeur. You have a feeling you are smart. But indeed you may not be as smart as you think. It's the wrongest thing to think a boss who remarked, even if in passing, about your superior presentation skills, would now be thinking of bringing you down, when all he needs to "bring you down" is to merely fire you. And hire someone else.

If he found work for you between 10am and 4pm, it could be for a host of other reasons, and for nothing related to your paranoia. If he thought the DSTV needed to be shut down, there could be a thousand other reasons for it and not for the hunt you think.

You need to watch it. Sooner those feelings you harbour will creep out and in no time will become perceptible to your boss. You should know that once that happens, insubordination is the interpretation. I'll suggest you simply do your thing. Do your job and don't entertain those feelings of greatness, which, frankly, ain't even great anyways. Concentrate on honing your skills and not on who's after your phantom glory.

In other words, stay focused, oga.

They all look happy. But of course, we all know how tense such an atmosphere can be behind those smiles.

Feraz:
Nice points up there.

Angela Merkel once complained about something like this where she talked about Google and other search engines, asking them to divulge their algorithm so that people's perception won't be distorted. I can't remember where I read someone's comment but the person mentioned if using a search engine, make sure you search towards the subsequent pages to get a near accurate information as the first three pages may be filled with links to people's opinions of which we know their bias is contained there in.

kateskitty:
I just had an interesting job interview today and every thing was going really well until they asked that much dreadful question

How much do we pay you?
No matter how many times I hear that question or rehears my answer, I always find a way to Fu?k up my answer.

Before I say anything further, this role is for someone with experience which I have, so why on earth will I be calling 70k for an experienced position. Even some entry level position pay 6 figures, now I'm afraid they wouldn't call me back because they think I'm a joke to have said 70k.
And if you are wondering what happened that I said 70k that's because when I was asked that question, I was thinking about something else the number 70 was the first number that popped into my head
Sh!t

Since the question has always bothered you, you'd have done well to prepare a ready answer for all your interviews na. The key is to not say a number as this either overestimates or underestimates you.

naturalwaves:
Mathschic, this is a very nice article. The main problem with most people is that they do not understand the algorithm of a search engine like " google". Many people are always so fast to utter the word " ask google" , "let us confirm from google" etc without knowing that all what google does is basically to take the user to any link or wherever such queries or anything similar to it appears online. Google and other search engines have been seen as a demi god that have answers to all questions whereas, this is not the case. Aside the surface scratching of merely looking up stuffs, users need to verify or make further checks on the links provided by google to ascertain if such can be trusted. If I ask a question concerning a world cup event for example, a link like the fifa's website from google can be trusted because FIFA is the organiser of the competition every four years. Imagine seeing a link from something like " Lola Ademola's blog" or one of those numerous funny blog names for the same query. Common sense should tell one not to take such serious. That is just a slight verification process. Every information one sees online should be subjected to scrutiny

Moreover, the blogosphere needs to be cleansed from what my sister terms " vanity blogging". Every one just want to blog and the annoying thing is that 80% of these so called blogs only do copy and paste and they are usually the carrier of fake and unverified information.

The same stupidity is usually brought here on this platform when some people will ask you to type " Buhari is ..............." or " Jonathan is a ........" on google and then those funny suggestions start coming up. As funny as these sound, some people still end up believing those. Do not be surprised if you hear them say " google said Jonathan is a failure", "google said Buhari is a dullard" etc.

Key points of the write up;
1. Google and other search engines are not some demi gods or oracle that knows everything. They only provide links to things that appear online.
2. The blogosphere is filled with vanity blogging.
3. Every information seen online should be verified for authenticity.
Thumbs up Mathschic!

Good analysis, naturalwaves. You on point with this. I couldn't help laughing at that "Lola Ademola's blog" sha.
Nice one.

Nice pose
I side with the third guy from the left. Looks great with his pose

You are a curious little fella. You’ve been so since your mama had you. You can’t explain it. Since you became of wise age, not a day has gone by that you didn’t consult a book and take out snippets of texts to check out at the gigantic library housed in the university nearby. All the time, you read those fun pamphlets, got lost in novellas and researched the things you encountered. And it was good. But that was before Google came and your world changed.

Now, you punch away on your smartphone. It’s a Techno, just that grade you could afford after a lot of savings. Though small, it meets your fancy and is suited to all your curious engagements. You have installed the Google search app, made its location prime on your widgets list and situated it top on the totem pole. You run to it for every bit of information, every bit of inquiry; answers arriving at the screen just as fast as light travels between workstations around the world and through cables lying deep in the Atlantic.

Some day, curiosity got the better of you. You held your phone in your hand, your fancy Techno, and suddenly wanted to know who owned the company. Google to the rescue! That sort of information would not be available in the library now, would it? The results came and you “confirmed” Techno belongs to a certain Nigerian named Nnamdi Ezeigbo; after all, this is “reported” by several links on the first page of your results and many more when you click next. In fact, the answer enjoys such prime position there is an excerpt just waiting for you below the search bar.

And while you browsed through the results, you spotted a warning about a type of Amstel Malta can which hosts a fake, possibly lethal, version of the drink. Stay away, they said. A host of blogs are reporting this. Running another search on it reveals many more results from many more sites, all listed on Google’s first page. In your surfing around the web, you stumbled again on a story about a mum who beat her daughter for getting pregnant, possibly breaking her back from the intensity of the beating. This was reported on Twitter and immediately circulated, nay “shared”, all around blogs, many of which have taken no pain to re-edit the story and have simply “copied and pasted” with no qualm. It’s rather strange that the stories all read the same, but then it happens. Only, you may have been misled.

Nnamdi Ezeigbo does not even claim to own Techno. Indications show he may only have been instrumental in leading the company to its bigger market in Nigeria. Leading brand, Amstel Malta does not have potential deadly replicas out there in fake cans. That much the company later came out to say. And couldn’t every Twitter story be the imagination of a troll or fame wh.ore?

Though the proliferation of blogs in today’s Nigeria may have enabled the creation of a thousand more jobs in a country feeling the impact of biting recession, it has also resulted, perhaps unwittingly, in a mass manufacture of “facts” or “news” that carry the potential to misinform and to mislead. In the race to be the go-to blog, administrators and webmasters are now showing no desire for scrupulous journalism. Stories are not fact-checked, nor are leads investigated. Google, unable to make a distinction between true and false, and relying exclusively on its algorithms to do the sorting, unintentional connives with the bloggers in listing their “facts”. This used to be the job of editors in big newspaper houses; but in a one-man blog management, who seeks to delay news releases for the sake of truth? Ah, truth! News used to be the exclusive preserve of newshouses, print and media. And it once carried that bit of underlying ethos of truth, of veracity. Today, that would seem past.

Bloggers now publish “news” items and they enjoy readership newshouses can’t rival. By sensationalizing, culturing bias and lowering the standards of feedback, they easily nurture a followership that is entrapped and loyal. Is this the death of news? Is this the death of fact? Is this the death of a population?

Does the punishment say slap anyone that disobey. The answer is No. Apply the necessary punishment for the offense. Physical abuse is a No No. Most of this happens out of anger and lack of self control. This is the main reason why police,Army etc molest Nigeria for no reason.

Exactly! It's physical abuse already and were the students not scared of possible persecution, I'm sure they'd have sued.

Kondomatic:
If breaking rules and regulations without getting adequate punishment is your definition of growing up then I want Nigeria to remain infant till eternity.

I believe they were given the school's rules and regulations before they were given admission and they promised to abide by them so what's the complaints about?

That the school should lower its standard to please them? rubbish.


Let them quit if they can't cope

The Nazis had a rule of not dealing with the Jews. The rules were handed to the citizens and anyone found breaking this rule was dealt with seriously. I'm sure you know the story of how the Holocaust followed from that.

That there are rules and the rules are defined is not enough reason to interpret an organization as functioning. Some rules are just crazy; others are outright torture. And we know fully well that slapping is needlessly overstepping the rule. Or there's a rule about slapping as well?

You may not want to admit it to yourself, but you are clearly wrong in this instance.

When will Nigeria finally grow up? These things read like they happened in a war camp in 1945 at the behest of a military commandant. Authority is still a problem in this country, honestly.

Advice 2: integrate (use multiple integral) those qualities of yours, u never can tell you might impress someone

Lol. I hear you.

raphenium:

Hmmm... I see! Funny, desperate and needy enough to draw you down here
Thanks for your best wish but so unfortunate u ain't gonna get any guy here. Guys here have there balls intact, they go for the best(hawt, creamy, fair and intelligent being) and you are miles away from being the best
My advice: MathsChic, go solve your calculus, its dangerous being here. BE WARNED!!!

Oh yeah...
I know I'm hot. And intelligent, just to add.

U don't like reading stories?

Sure I do. Where's the link?

xynerise:


There is something fishy about the photos. Obviously a blackmail but not so genuine. Humans can do anything just for money

Even if it's blackmail, shouldn't we first ask if the Apostle, the supposed puritan, did as alleged?

Untouchable15:
Stephanie, I hope you know what you're doing. But note this, if this is all cooked up against the pastor, then let me quickly itemize two of the consequences for you:
1. You will bring yourself under a generational curse that no body will be able to wipe off. Including your unborn children.
2. If you succeed in shaming and disgracing him, shame and disgrace will be your companion too from generation to generation.

It's just a reminder!

You really should zip your mouth already. If you've been rendered dumb by those eternal preachings, don't come here to lay down threats.

HCF:
I can't understand why people are quick to disbelieve any story of misdemeanor attributed to a Pastor/Cleric (or supposed man of God). Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo who was enmeshed in a similar crisis years back promised to give a 'robust response' to the allegation of sexual assault leveled against him by one Else,till date,three years down the line, we are still waiting for this robust response.

Some of us must have seen/read about the popular American Televangelist, Jimmy Swagart, who made a live broadcast to confess his sexual escapades asking God and his Family to forgive him. Rev. Bakker, Martin Gorman are other examples of pastors found guilty of adultery in d past.

In Nigeria, Bishop Wale Oke also exhibited the rare courage to own up admitting that he committed adultery with his secretary...And on radio,social media and newspapers we read stories of clerics caught in such shameful acts.

This is not to denigrate the status of these religious leaders but to make us understand that they are human and are fallible!.

Therefore, the case of this lady and Apostle Sulaiman should not be ignored until there is enough evidence to show that the lady is a liar.

So far, from what I have read, Apostle Sulaiman hasn't denied knowing the lady, he hasn't denied having financial transactions with her....This is more of a moral issue than a political one. Let's try and look at issues like these objectively instead of attaching political or religious sentiments...enough said!!

This is the most brilliant post I've seen in a very long time. You not only put your argument intelligently, you also demonstrated caution in laying out your suspicions.
I wish I could tow your intelligent line, but no, I won't. For me, I can tell quite confidently that a large part of the lady's story is true and that from reading her lawyers' statements and the creepy Apostle's response to that. I'm pretty sure many more evidences are gonna come out into the open sooner.
