I don't know how to drive a car anyone with an idea of a Partime job in Lagos plssssss

I can teach you how to drive. How much will you pay? I'll offer you a handsome discount if you'll use your car for the training. I accept both naira and dollars via phone, bank or ATM transfer, bank deposit or POS, whichever you prefer.

SuperSuave:
as useless as this thread might seem, I like it...really funny

It's funny. Lagosians use their horns for different purposes other than that for which it was created.

This is terrible. And to think it's happening right at the school gate.

Unilorin top brass won't do anything about it and will continue pretending like nothing's happening.

If you bring it to their attention, they'll quickly remind you it's not happening inside the school.

Even the SUG won't react since they're too weak.

BlueScholar:
Thank you for this thread, I'm currently facing same issue

You're welcome.

Are you sure the soldiers are Nigerian?
Their uniforms, style of dressing and weapons look Chadian.

It's time MURIC realizes it needs to stop chasing shadows.

Everytime it releases a comment, it is either in support​ Buhari, APC or just interfering in irrelevant issues while ignoring the important ones.

Does it remember how the Christian Association of Nigeria rubbished itself during the days of GEJ? It is repeating the same thing here.

What is MURIC saying about the Christian farmers being killed in Benue and Taraba?

Nothing!

How about the Christian girl being held by that evil terrorist group masquerading as a pro-Islamic group?

Nothing!

What about the Almajiri problem, female genital mutilation, illiteracy, underage marriage and underage voting in the north?

Nothing!

Yet it decided to clamp down on a musical video.

MURIC had better go and get seated and stop claiming it's fighting for we Muslims. It's behavior these days is even starting to become irritating.

Been there, only thing was I Never ever thought of suicide. Looking back now, I realize the darker the days then, the more creative I was. My best writings;music, poem and prose stem from those terribly dark days.

Now it's not a bad as it was before yet I sometimes crave them back because that is when the alternate, highly creative, super achieving me comes out.

Just like me. I wrote my best stories when I was broke, hopeless, angry or depressed.

These days, I find it difficult to even sit to write, not to talk of writing stories.

That's why many of these musicians are usually addicted to drugs.

Before fame, they have the mojo and willpower to create songs. They are inspired by the thirst for fame and success.

Once they blow, that inspiration dies off and they turn to drugs for inspiration.

This is part what we've been saying.

If after almost ten years of fighting insurgency and Nigeria is yet to learn, only God knows when it will learn.

By now, Defence and Army HQtrs should know that GPMGs mounted on gun trucks will only scare highway robbers along Kaduna-Abuja expressway and area boys at Oshodi, Ikorodu and Kaduna.

They don't scare killer herdsman​, cattle rustlers, militants and Boko Haram.

Even heavy machine guns like the famous Browning doesn't scare BH.
Those ones have left the realm of humanity.

They only know who's boss when they encounter DSHKs, 14.5mm anti aircraft machine guns and ZPU-2.

You sound logical. There is hardly any difference between a 20 plus and 30 plus in terms of physical ability especially when both are still single. Check footballers! Age has little or nothing to do with respect. Respect is earned not given. I have held different leadership position where people who were well older than me will gladly take command from me. I respect myself and so they have to respect me. Every company has its policy. Even in some companies, you must call people by their first name. The main point is that if the system had been good, these same people wouldn't have been unemployed at their 30's.

Who feel more need to get his own apartment, 20's or 30's?
Who feel more need to get married, 20's or 30's?
Who have probably had struggle to finish education, 20's or 30's?
Who will have stayed longer as unemployed, 20's or 30's?
Then why not give them a level playing ground and let them be disqualified on competence based.

Well said! You have a very valid point.

Abeg what's this person saying?

Oh you mean Gowon was the oldest man in Nigeria when he became the president and that was why he was able to lead?

Abeg!!! I became the vice principal of a big school at 27 and I was the youngest in the school, yet, I commanded the respect of older people. Even people who were old enough to be my parent. Thank God we recorded a number of successes. No one challenged or opposed me based on age.

Once you are going to an office to work, every normal person knows that egos should be kept aside. so that's not a valid point

You are misinterpreting what I wrote.

My initial comment never mentioned that the younger person won't be respected. The younger person would be respected.

But there will be that tension between the two. The older person will always feel somehow and won't respect the younger person the same way he would have, if the younger person was much older.

You see, it was true that Gowon was not the oldest when he became president.

Murtala Mohammed was superior to him in rank and age and was supposed to be president.

But Gowon was chosen because the northern Hausa/Fulani/Kanuri/Muslim coupists did not want the coup to look like a northern counter-coup to the earlier Ibo/Christian coup.

Gowon is from the north but is not a Muslim, Fulani, Kanuri or whatever as most of the coupists were. He is Christian of the Ngas tribe from today's Lur local government in Plateau state.

This created some problems between Gowon and Murtala Mohammed and is the reason Murtala Muhammed sometimes disrespected Gowon, even though Gowon was his superior as Head of State.

An example:

While leading the 2nd Division, Murtala Mohammed crossed the River Niger to attack Onitsha even though Army HQtrs ordered him to advance north to cross the Niger at Idah in Kogi, then move into Onistha to attack.

Murtala Mohammed crossed the Niger thrice and failed thrice, killing thousands of troops.

By the time he decided to cross through Idah, the Biafrans already knew what was coming and ambushed him at Abagana, which ended as the biggest ambush of the war.

Again, thousands of Nigerian soldiers were killed with about 106 vehicles destroyed.

Would all these have happened if Murtala Mohammed's superior was president?

Would have Murtala Mohammed been so bold to disrespect Gowon that he would have attempted three failed amphibious assaults?

Wouldn't Army HQtrs have called him to the rear and court martialled him for the disasters?

Murtala Muhammed later lost his command during the war but it was around the same time with every other commander. I've forgotten the dude at 1 Division but I know that Benjamin Adekunle of the 3rd Marine Commandoes lost his command to Olusegun Obasanjo.

Murtala Mohammed himself, later overthrew Gowon when he got the chance in 1975.

FYI am more than 30,and i bet some twenty year cannot match up my strength.

There will always be exceptions.

Youthfulness is tied with strength, agility and vitality.

The body of a younger person will always take the extremities that that of an older person cannot take.

But there will always be exceptions among the older folks the same way there will be exception with the younger folks.

We will always find superbly fit old people the same way we will find superbly unfit younger people.

Age restriction is necessary in many government and non-government jobs but not all jobs.

For instance, can a 30-year-old undergo the rigorous training of the military or paramilitary agencies?

I doubt it.

Besides the rigors of the job, another issue is the problem of younger people controlling the older people working under them.

This would be difficult in this society of ours where we have been taught to respect our elders and keep quiet when they speak.

I agree that older people do work under younger people, but it's usually in different capacities and with different qualifications. E.g: Older security guard with SSCE under younger boss with B.Sc, older driver with SSCE under younger boss with M.Sc etc.

But when the older person has the same qualifications with the younger person and is able to attain the position currently occupied by the younger person, it will quickly become a problem.

For instance, older entry level B.Sc employee working under younger M.Sc manager, older SSCE security guard working under younger SSCE security guard, older B.Sc driver working under younger B.Sc driver, older SSCE army private working under younger SSCE army sergeant etc.

Now can the younger person control the older person easily?

I doubt it.

The problems of ego and respect will always come into play. Then you'll start hearing statements like "How old are you? So mo age mi ni? For say I dey there when dem born you, I for chop your naming rice. Na condition make crayfish bend. For say I join when you join, I no go be your oga? etc.

I suggest the age ceiling should be reviewed and should be dependent on the agency recruiting.

However, the older people should not expect much because it will still favor younger people.
