LiteratureRe: About Whitey's Flash Fiction Challenge *comment Thread* by Mobsync(m): 3:43pm On Jan 16, 2015
whitemosquito:
And the same, should I call it nonchalance or negligence, was displayed in the entries. Typos, tensal errors, misspellings...when you're submitting for the purpose of a competition? When you're work will be analyzed and scrutinized? In depth?

That's just sad.

Some of the entries I posted, I had to clean up and arrange, which strictly speaking, is wrong.
Entries without titles...when I specifically stated, TWICE- in the general guidelines and again when I dropped my mail address- that all entries should carry titles and monikers. I had to attach ppl's monikers to their entries.

Some addressed the SUBJECT of the mail as the title of their entry. So, how am I supposed to know what youre submitting FOR? What if I was running two separate competitions simultaneously? You don't leave things to chance like that.
The SUBJECT should have been The White Mosquito Flash fiction....blah blah, while the BODY OF YOUR MAIL SHOULD CARRY YOUR TITLE. If you were attaching files, same thing. Your title should be contained in your file.

Some people saved their files as "yeah" or "aha". Like really? When I opened them, they contained titles only or titles and monikers, no White Mosquito Challenge anywhere in the entire mail. Na wa.

Then the arrangement style was just...painful. Some people wrote like they were writing letters to themselves or perhaps their girl/boy friends. Some used fonts that my laptop didnt even recognise.

As far as arrangement or presentation of entries is concerned, very few people impressed me. One of such was mobsync; he/she included the nl profile URL for his/her moniker as well as the title. Beautiful. Over and above call of duty; well thought out.

I choose to believe that a lot of us didn't take the Challenge seriously. After all, some people even said they were in it for "fun", "to while away time", since the prizes offered were paltry for those of them that use "laptops to browse".

All well and good. There's nothing wrong with doing things for fun. Infact one of the purposes of the Challenge was to entertain. I haven't lacked that since I created the first Challenge post; there's been a bevy of entertainment, especially on this comment thread.

However, we say that we are writers. Writing is technical. Deliberate. Careful.
If there's anything I want anyone to take away from this competition, it's this: BE DELIBERATE. Work your craft. Yes, you have a gift of imagination. Yes, you have creative expression. But that's where it ends. Writing itself is a SKILL, NOT A GIFT. You have to WORK IT. Learn it. Hone it.

And not just for writing alone. It's a life skill. Being deliberate, that is. Whatever you choose to do, as long as you have chosen to expend time and effort to do it, DO IT WELL.
Mobsync is an he. Thank you. grin grin grin

chiefkpokp:
Well my method, when I check on any product i like on aliexpress, some of the stores in aliexpress are equivalent to d same price on 1688, that's why they add shipping fee and give u big bill for shipment because, they belive they make their profit on that shipping, but by the time u tell them u want dem to ship to ur agent in china, Either they say no or they add extral money to it, I have some sellers in aliexpress that sells same amount with 1688, but however when I notice some items I really is cost or d seller refusal to send item to GZ, all I just do is visit 1688 and get the exact products by sourcing smartly on 1688, then I just ask any of ma sellers on aliexpress and give them d link of d product after negotiating with seller, and when my seller paid for the item on 1688, immediately Judy confirm d items, I pay to my sellers through aliexpress even though aliexpress take %, Its worth it, that's ma owe method of payment on aliexpress.

I can see without glasses but would need to strain a bit if the object is a bit faraway.
I would turn 21 in April 2015. It would be better if I go with DSSC then and convert to RC. Thank you. And I wish you all good luck with 67 RC.

I can see without the glasses but I need to strain my eyes a bit to see without them, especially at long distances.
EducationRe: Nigerian Defence Academy Admission Processes.......65RC-67RC by Mobsync(m):
I've been following this thread since 2013, believe me. I know that Madawaki01 guy very well. :-D

I'm interested in joining NDA (Army). However, I'm in my 4th year in Unilorin (400l). I would also be 21 next year. So I'm thinking, should I buy the form for RC or do I just wait for SSC (I must be at least 24 yrs old). Or DSS which accepts 22 years old. Besides;
can a DSS convert to RC?
can be DSS become a combatant? I want to be a combatant.
Again, I use glasses
and I dont have my original birth certificate but I have several photocopies. Can I be disqualified because of the original?

Thorerah:
Don't you think it would be better to ask the person who's doing the sewing on how to do the measurements? The standard is inches I think. Measure:
Shoulders (depending on whether it'll be sleeveless or not)
Arms(if it's going to have sleeves)
Chest
Waist
Hips?
knees (if it's going to stop there) if not
Feet
Thank you.

Dumb and senseless. Totally devoid of opinion or knowledge.
WebmastersRe: Linda Ikeji Exposes The Guys Trying To Bring LIB Down (pix, Must Read) by Mobsync(m): 2:23pm On Oct 07, 2014
Comments about this Linda Ikeji saga on this forum are more realistic and appear more sensible than those on that article on Linda's blog.

I've done several online searches and also read Linda's blog about the issue. She claimed the guy was cybersquatting on lindaikeji.net domain name but quickly began redirecting it to lindaikeji..com recently when Google got involved. I believe Linda is lying. About two years ago or thereabout, lindaikeji.net was redirecting to lindaikeji..com, for those who knew about it. This means that both of them are most probably known to eachother or are even business partners. The issue between them is more than they make us believe, there's more to it.

Secondly, let's all be realistic and stop all these "every blogger is guilty of plagiarism" etc crap. Someone once told said something about this issue on a facebook group I belong to:
When you do your school final year project, don't you copy from other people's work? Yet it isn't called plagiarism, why?
Because you add references and you also change the wordings to suit your taste and also appear different from that in which it originally appeared. Even top news agencies copy each other. But they're usually rewritten and made so different from eachother.
Linda Ikeji is merely trying to win public pity and also bring down the guy. To me, it's a fail. She's guilty and should learn from her mistakes. Because someone steals is not a justification that she should also steal. And when she gets caught, she shouldn't say, the person who caught her reported her because she has this and that. She should stop trying to justify her misdeeds and mistakes. She should accept them, apologize and stop it.

Besides, I would advice her to remove the guys picture because she's using it without permission.

And for you OP, I can't see a link in your article, it's also plagiarism.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: (SSS) State Security Service Finally Has Called! by Mobsync(m):
moscod20: please who knows the address of the Kwara state command of the SSS and when is submission closing?
Their office is at government road, Ilorin. When you enter from challenge, keep looking at your left. You will see a bungalow with some men in black carrying tavor assault rifles. A white ford ranger or black nissan frontier is usually packed at the front. It is after the Police headquarters (A Division) and before Kwara hotel. The building is a bungalow and is very easy to miss. In case you get to Kwara hotel without seeing it, drop there and start trekking backwards.

It depends on the tab one buys. There are tabs running on a stripped down version of windows (windows rt) and there're some running on full windows just like a laptop (e.g asus vivotab 8, hp 8 inches tab, toshiba encore 8 and 10 etc). Some are even running on Windows Pro (eg: dell venue 8 pro)


nairalife2013: U are so on point girl. I got an ipad4 for my wife at 135k, itz now used by my maid to teach my kids nursery rhymes! d pad is just large, not flexible, u can't swab sims easily, u can't transfer data wid ease, u can't make regular fon call wid it, no space for sd card, she can't go wid it if she is not driving; I can't list all cos am doing so wid grit teeth!! Well, my kids(1yr+and2yr+) are now wizards at operating d clumsy device, cos itz no longer a novelty to their mom so she let's dem fiddle wid it at wil while clutching dearly to her new, more flexible lumia 630. Gosh!
Apple products are not flexible. You could have gone for an android tab or even windows tab. All windows tab except those running on windows rt, operate just like laptops.

Otg cable is different from USB. O n T he G o cable is used to connect a android/apple/blackberry phone/tablet with another android/apple/blackberry phone/tablet.

You can go with the photocopy business stuff although to me, it might be too stressful for a lady. Besides, it is limited to a single area (your school) where there would be too much competition and peak and off-peak periods.

I would like you to go for the online improtation stuff. Don't buy any ebook from anyone. Go through this thread, everything has been explained there:

Season 1: https://www.nairaland.com/1116339/it-yourself-importation-guide-free

Season 2: https://www.nairaland.com/1186199/it-yourself-importation-guide-free/

In case you're skeptical about buying or you have problems with the requirements (e.g: online shopping cards, logistics etc) and want the buying and shipping done for you, visit this thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/1793756/mayorall-enterprise-pre-order-goods-aliexpress

I wish you the best.

NOTE: I am not Mayorall enterprises. I have never seen him before. I am not his friend neither am I affiliated with him. I merely suggested the third link because I see him as an honest fellow. Whem you see the thread, you'll find testimonies there. Once again, don't buy any ebook from anyone. Most of them know nothing about the ebook they are selling. Thank you.

ronald4lif: Lol what's with alomo bitters consumers? How does alomo taste
I don't take alcohol. I don't know how alomo tastes. It's just that the guys who drink it are usually crazy about it, along with one other bitters from Ghana (forgotten the name).

[quote author=]she is blaming alcohol..I believe u say what is on ur mind under the influence of alcohol.. but I think she has changed cos she even made her blood sister surprised by her action ms yesterday.. I think its the alcohol[/quote]She looked you in your face and told you its over. She rested on a guys chest even when she saw you. If she can kiss a guy just because she drank alcohol "water", what would happen when she drinks brandy? Or whiskey? Burukutu, small stout, 33 export, pelebe or even the one and only ALOMO BITTERS? (three gbosa to all alomo bitters consumers in the house. I sight una o).

From the look of things, you seem to be a learner. I would simply advise you to find your square root (or in this case, your cube root). That hoe isn't meant for you. The hoe ain't loyal. She has never been and would never be. A word is enough for the wise.

Once again, three gbosas to all alomo consumers in the house. I still dey sight una o.
