Miss Ige should ask herself if she came for auditions with that voice of hers, if she'll be taken.

Aunyy, haba! haba! Overkilled d song sef. Maybe u don't music. Hallelujah is a classical song an she sang it perfectly well as such. Dat lady's talent is never in doubt and she has carved a niche for herself. Jst calm down ok?!

Guys, please I applied for d BSc category, the list I saw on their site is for ssce and ond. Should we expect another??

Someone shd help with Elizabeth's voting number pls. I need to vote before it closes. Urgent response pleassssseee

This one is tough, I hope you haven't told her yet, please do not. Try to explain to your dad what your convictions are. But all these prophesy tinz dey fear me o . But really, do dese things still happen? Pastor saying, don't marry this one, marry that one.

samhay:
I gotta criticize now


The audience r so dry,no excitement at all.
The stage too small for God sake
The judges got it wrong putting Oluchi on probation
I don't Knw how Yousuf wanna stay long in the academy, The Fuji stuff is even reflecting when he talks


Just bored watching it.


Stand out performers

Pere
Winner

I totally agree pere and winner killed it. However, I think d beauty of music itself is originality, ain't nothing wrong wit yusuph's fuji flavour. That is who he is. No matter ho much we try we can't be Americans, can Chris Brown come to naija and sing fuji? Hell no. What is wrong in embracing wot we have?? This same marginalisation and victimisation was done to oyinkansade back den. As far as naija music industry is concerned, he is doing far better Dan Ayo who won dat season or even marvellous who was termed the best male voice in d house. It's high tym we started embracing originality, me I av casted my vote for yusuph. He deserves to stay.

Guys. Am sorry to sound this way,but I did the screening too at Lagos centre, is the result out?? I have been following up on their website and did not see anything of such. Please enlighten me biko o

Anybody writing in Lagos please? Let's hear from u

munezo:
You should leave your house by 10am, I believe they will consider because of the sanitation.

Many thanks Munezo, you are going for the test too?

Morning all, I was invited for the test today, stepped out of my house and discovered there is environmental in Lagos today, how do dey expect us to make it to unilag by 10? Any ideas please? Anticipating a prompt response

rawpadgin:
op i can relate to ur situation
i was in the gym the other day & we were working out to some old school jamz, we were all feeling excited singing along wen all of a sudden my colleague from uk said " wen these tracks were released u prolly was a little child, how com u know the lyrics like thise"?....

wen i told the mutherfucker my age he was like " NO WAYS!!!"

so thats just it

my advice is, start carrying some weight it will make u look big & also try to keep round beard

Tnx bro, but was just thinking, even with u carrying weight and all that, ur colleague still still looked down on u, so maybe gyming don't help so much afterall

Mznaett:
In contribution to what Confessng posted earlier..My dear,,you really do not need to prove yourself to anyone because they won't understand you.

So I just do nothing??

Decker:
Honestly bro, you are just getting yourself worked up over nothing.
You said you have gotten used to it and your girlfriend has also learned to live with it, so I don't see any reason for you to be paranoid.

She claims to have learned to live with it, but it doesn't go down well with her when d embarrassing situations happen, what if she's just being polite and careful with my feelings? Maybe if you were in my shoes, u'd get what I mean, but Tnx all d same.

Confessng:
When you stop trying to prove to the world that you are not a small boy then you will truly be regarded as a man
What others think don't matter , you are you , can you change it no!
Do you have to prove you aren't a small boy no!
Steve Hawking is one of the most intelligent people the world ever produced

Can he talk ? No!
Can he walk ? No!
Does that limit his intelligence ?
Absolutely not

Tnx for d smart comment, however does that mean you just say and do nothing when someone puts u down? Especially in front of ppl that look up to u and respect you?

The real intent behind opening this thread is purely selfless, A little lengthy but I need you advise on this one please. I am a young man in my late twenties but trust me when I say I get mistaken for a teenager, people while trying to console you say ‘oh, you will enjoy it when you are about 50 and above’. I have very embarrassing encounters at least once every week, when strangers are just so disrespectful to you thinking you are some kid, well, once I talk for about 2 minutes, they are speechless cos yes, I am really intelligent and talk my age, suffice it to add that I am a practicing accountant, graduated from the university about 4 years ago. Like I said the intention behind opening this thread is selfless, it’s my fiancée, it worries me how she feels when someone disrespects me in front of her, I always stand up for myself anyway, but I can’t imagine how embarrassed she’d feel. I was driving with her by my side to the mall one afternoon and got pulled over by the police, One of the policemen yelled at me ‘you this small boy, na because you carry woman, u no wun stop ya car abi’… I was mad like wanted to bitch slap the dude, I calmed down and reported him to his colleague who apologized on his behalf, I later called him too and rebuked him, seeing the confidence I showed, he denied it , said he never said such.(that felt good, at least my fiancée was listening…lol) To cap it all up, I have learned to live with this cos it’s been on since like forever. But my woman, it bothers me. She claims she has learned to live with it too, but truth us I keep thinking, what if she’s just trying to not get me worried or it bothers her for real and could be consequential on our relationship. What’s your take on this guys? Helpful comments from mature minds only please.

Nah... i do not agree. guess op is talking out of his own personal experiences which were somewhat frustrating. 'sorry if that hurt'. i am a living witness, rewind 2 years ago, i was always applying online. some nights i could apply for up to 30 vacancies, it seemed like it was a waste of time, i was a marketer(contract staff) at a bank, yeah, you know that's no good experience. pay was meagre and stress was enormous. outta the blues i got a call from a multinational company. d tin be life film trick but here i am today living very fine. those applications paid off afterall, please note that i didnt know nobody at the company, my CV fitted their needs, i came and spanked the interview and the rest as they say is history. dont give up bro, keep applying!

queenjoe:
abi oo, hv been doing d same wit FCMB cinz 2013 so i see nothing new in it infact dey r lagging behind odas wen it cums t dis

Your majesty, could u please state the process around initiating a transaction on the platform of those banks? Can't be this easy. It would involve sending and receiving instructions by way of numbers(1- accept, 2- decline) .

kennygee:
Its not the first.

Is it not what Mobile Money is about?

Fortis has a mobile money licence. *540# to register or perform transaction from phones that are not internet enabled.
First Bank does. *894#to register or perform transaction from phones that are not internet enabled.
Stanbic IBTC does
And there is Paga

U are only right to an extent, having it this simple is the first of its kind. I hope it's as simple as its stated in there.
Just so u know am not a gtb staff, but I worked with another nigerian giant bank and worked in the e-business department, so I know what am talking about

Weirdly enough, i am also in a situation where i need to make a choice between those two cars. I think the altima is more elegant and fashionable. And, at the end of the day you will see that its all about maintenance, no matter what your choice eventually is. But then, i'd like peeps that have prior knowledge of the cars to come and enlighten us more.

I graduated with a 2.2 and I work as an accountant in a multinational firm. I knew no one, was called for the interview, I proves myself. My manager now who was part of the panel for my interview made a comment, he looked straight into my eyes after I have answered all the questions thrown at me, he said 'he's a smart guy'. There and then I knew I had gotten the job. The starting salary was double what d KPMGs and PWCs of this world would pay. Every good and perfect gift comes from God!
There is hope for your 2.2, trust me

That2:
You have your own share? If you did it with married women another man will pop the cherry of your fiancée in camp .

well, i see the humour in that. note that i said i wasn't committed to anybody and besides i never hooked up with married folks, i see it as sacrilege.

My fiancée is going for service come February and trust me, am scared to death cos I know what I saw with my eyes back when I served. Not to sound hypocritical, I had a my own share back then too but I wasn't committed to anybody. Without mincing words, i totally agree and subscribe to married folks being exempted from the scheme or better still, the government could find a way around it, like exempt them from camping and get them a PPA in very close proximity to their homes. It is pertinent though to state that an infidel will always be an infidel regardless of NYSC or no NYSC. So you see, charity begins at home.

patrickdarlins:
just imagine me an accountant carrying a mowhawk or galxy or afro to work in d banking sector...or even punk hair...my broda...na sack letter go hang for ur desk d next morning...barb ur hair accordibg to ur profession in life ..a doctor...lawyer...accountant...lecturer..etc..cant go with a mohawk hair or galaxy..etc...to and extent...ur style of hair defines who u are and ur profession in life...am an accountant and i go with low cut...not dreadlocks... thank you

Well, I am a practicing accountant too in a multinational firm, I have always rocked afro since my university days, and I still do, in fact I wore afro to the interview that got me the job. So far it's clean and decent, many peeps won't have issues with it, at least the reasonable ones. I for one believe in modesty, keep your hair clean and tidy no matter the style ur wearing

I really want to say a big thank you to all that dropped their comments (both good and bad). I had a lot of engagements over the weekend and couldn't come on nairaland. well, as for those that said maybe I am a teenager, maybe y'all didn't read my post well, I happen to be a practicing accountant with a multinational firm, yes I am ripe for marriage. The fog is clearing based on your comments so far, more comments would be appreciated though.

Lindajohn: den she is ashamed of u..... Hoha

madam,that was harsh na
although she cant be...what's there to be ashamed of?

Vessi: I don't understand why she's still too shy or withdrawn since you guys have gone too far.
It appears you love her extremely, here is what I think, you guys should go out and catch some fun as though you were kids.

Go to parks and catch fun, if she likes pool, swim with her ot tutor her. Go to cinemas and watch romantic movies with popcorn bags on your hands, go to zoos and see cute birds and animals. Just take her out and spend quality, romantic, fun-filled moments with her. I'm sure her spirit and soul will be lifted. If she is not possessed, she will start being jovial and open to you.

Also, ask her friends and family, if she is that secretive, withdrawn, quite, shy, timid within the family and with friends. Ok?

thanks a bunch man, i'll have to talk with her siblings and best friend

Lindajohn: u no dy romantic, wakeup early prepare tea or coffee, wake her up with a bright smile on ur face.... Serve her the tea/coffee. Start up a cool conversation with her.... Don't go straight to the point yet, wen u notice she is happy, den u can go to the main topic.... Lowkey tins

hmm..now i get your drift, she is romantic inside the house but when we go out,its a different ball game. she doesn't even wana hold hands for long, it's that bad. (and just so you know, am good looking ) so she has no reason not to be proud of me

Lindajohn: Let me help u, ask her what her problem is..... Before asking her, give her a suprise gift.


Thank me later

surprise gift? i do that all the time, i don't think that's the issue cos we've been talking about this long enough

Vessi: I underwent same treatment with the woman I call my ex now.
My brother, if you feel uncomfortable in any relationship you are in, I tell you most solemnly there is the type you want out there. Women all need that affectionate working class type of you. For all I care you can not change her, maybe it was because I was unable to change my ex to be more open with words and in public. Since you have told her this times without number, just like I've done. Nature now calls on you to do the needful. She doesn't desire change and is incompatible with you.

I am commenting because I underwent just same thing as you.
So make your choice. Forget about what people will think. It is your relationship and future marriage at stake here, if she is unwilling to change(perhaps she is shy or hiding something from you), and you can't bear her timidity and shyness.

Oga walk out.

thanks bro, but just as you know what my fear is, we've come a long way and its so hard walking away, i mean this lady has a lot of admirable qualities, i mean a whole lot. but her deficiencies seems to be so weighty
