Not everyone is angry about the elections being postponed. Obviously those in GEJ's camp are happy about it.
But there's another group that is cashing in BIG TIME .

People tend to show you more love when you're dead.

Yes I think you're right.

Turns out that the best way to get attention in Nigeria is to die. That, and to play for Manchester United. Or both.
See the top 9 people Google says Nigerians searched for in 2014.

The list is very surprising.

Actually, with the exception of number 4: Religious studies, these are among the courses people SHOULD be doing in Nigeria today. The Oil Company era is over. It's all about entrepreneurship now.

"10 forest and wildlife management(wonderwhat you wana do with these,mayb you will use the certificate for cutting of woods in the forest)"

This one, especially the comment in brackets is particularly unfortunate. This should be one of the backbones of the Nigerian economy, but we've been so short sighted by oil all these years.

Now that the oil business is in the dustbin, maybe we Nigerians will wake up and use the abundant resources we've always had.

New Article on Gidibusiness. http://www.gidibusiness.com/2014/08/08/boko-haram-and-ebola-to-boost-online-business-in-nigeria/

Question is; stuck between Boko Haram and Ebola, are Nigerians being driven to think of alternative ways to earn money that don't involve traveling to work in crowded 'molue' and 'danfo' buses? Is your Okada rider Ebola positive? If your business is online based, like say Nairaland.com, do these threats boost your business rather than hinder it?

What do you all think?

vedaxcool: This is very disturbing, I assumed they would have quaratined everybody that the late sawyer came in contact with?

That would be the process in a functioning country. Yes.

Can you claim compensation for workplace injury in Nigeria?
What about workplace practices that affect the health of employees?

What do you all think?

Bumps are complex. All depends on

1. What you shave with
2. How you shave
3. When you shave
4. What you do after you shave

For me, I think it may be better not to shave at all.
