opendo21: Please is there anyone who got the CFA scholarship in Nigeria

Just apply. Your application doesn't depend on the success or otherwise of others. It's a pretty straightforward stuff with a little essay on why you deserve it.

@lacord5 & @lollyaca SENT!

I don't go on hating people, it's a waste of emotions but I dunno, Matse is/was better at Wazobia than Nigeria Info - ever since she started 'speaking English', it seemed her 'roles' changed.

I wouldn't say journalists should not know a lot about a topic, especially to correct wrong information from a caller but I know they had something to do with BBC before they launched 99.3. Maybe they should listen to programs like WHYS - if you want to be the boss on your show, produce it and present it without accepting calls since you want to inform them.

If you want conversations with listeners, make sure you're a good moderator of the forum - (Citizen) Jones Usen of CBS would serve as an example in Lagos. Also, I've forgotten the name of the guy who anchors Classic Fm's business show on weekends - him, Halima or so on Smooth fm also suffice.

The deal is to moderate effectively. I listen to a lot of phone-in shows but you realize eventually, that no matter what you say, some people will try to force an opinion on others irrespective of being updated on information to correct their notions or just respecting others' entitlements to their opinions - that's the way 'gbogbo ero' shows are. To up the ante, a discussion with a panel of experts could be employed and just some few calls.

Oohrhii: The simple thing here is that you dont even understand what the Op is talking about..

He is talking about singles..not a married couple. Besides what he said is actually right and true.. A jobless girl is an absolute liability.They want everything but offer virtually nothing in return. they say sex well it takes two to tango..as both sides are both benefiting from it.

Some will still criticize the Op like you..but as said ..its basically meant for the wise ones.

Opinions are the entitlements of individuals but at the end he still relates it to marriage. Single people are not officially or religiously recognised hence the end point is still marriage.

Orikinla: It is really amazing the way most of our jobless single women who should focus more on being gainfully employed are desperately looking for husbands more than jobs.



A friend who is a lawyer and married to a jobless graduate told me that he would have been faring better as a bachelor. In fact, our discussion minutes ago inspired this topic.

The rational and wise thing to do is for the jobless single women to look for good jobs and become independent economically before looking for eligible bachelors to marry.

In the days of yore, parents taught both parties their duties. Essentially, the knowledge of one's reaponsibilities and duties reduces such problems. However, like someone posted, even being a housewife is a job, less talk of a working mother.

Preferences vary. Traditionally, in this part of the world, the man bears the responsibility for taking care of the family and it's needs hence there would be no need for liabilities bla bla bla.

I don't encourage lazy men, moreover my religion places emphasis on a man's responsibilities concerning the family. If you know why you are going into a marriage with a partner and each one knows each of his/her duties, there would be no need to see the other as one with whom marriage should be endured rather than enjoyed with.

Let each on of us focus on our parts and do them first before thinking of any lapses.

When asked why he jumped bail,

May 1 was initially recognised as Workers' Day in Nigeria by the late Kano state governor in 1980.

Shehu Shagari later adopted it as a National Holiday on May 1, 1981.

Jarus:
I attended all high-level meetings of the president where decisions were taken and he always allowed me to air my views. The only meetings I was passive in were the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meetings and what do they discuss in FEC except contracts? In fact, it got to a point I always sneaked out of FEC meetings to go and attend to more productive things in my office. Even at FEC, if there were issues on which I felt strongly, I would write a note and give the president.

Yes. He has proved analysts who call wednesday 'Cake Day', a pseudo name for 'Contract Wednesday' right. Imagine, he even said he attends to 'more productive things'. heheh


Essentially, he higlighted a Yoruba adage that says "Oruko rere dara ju wura ati fadaka lo"
[A good name is better than gold and silver]

In the midst of widespread unethical practices + corruption, it's up to you to determine what ethos you want to be known and reminded for.

Donmichaelz: The nairalander is the person who took the picture so you cant see him(me)..Dino is drinking Garri,most people will say he is humble...I think the I..dI..Ö..t didnt even take a spoon,just playing politics With people's mind..What do you guys think...

See 2face

Cowardice is inability to say it in the face but resort to backbiting.

You snapped the pic but you "think" he didn't take a spoon? Like seriously!

There's no big deal in drinking garium, afterall, he's human. Obj's video of drinking garri is on the net.

Topic looks more like "A Nler Snapping Dino" except you wanna be the spoon or ghost worker.

On a lighter note, with the way you have taken it P, shey the guy no pay you complete for the picshure

redsun: That guy is more or less an enigma.What is he hiding?Or does he have a burnt face?Not like the good looking guy in the picture.

What are his motives?Or is he promoting the concept eyo masquerade?

Lagbaja, Tamedu ati Lakashigbe are concepts in Yoruba. Like someone wrote, it ought to mean somebody, anybody, Mr. A - whatsoever you choose. However for Lagbaja, he has said until corruption, bad leadership et al are eradicated from this country, there's nothing for him to be happy about concerning the mask removal - now, that's a tall order but butresses the concept further.

Lastly, @naptu2's post shows that Lagbaja is more of a CHARACTER than an INDIVIDUAL - the same way different 'bonds' have been issued for $007

Rexxie: This is either PRE Lagbaja or Lagbaja early beginning,you know,more like when 9ice used to scream his lungs out backing up for TooShorts and Ruggedman..but now we all know levels changed..May God change my and your levels for the best,o..

What d'you mean? Lagbaja that released his first album in the early '90s

scobaba: Guy na so u dress like village elder go show wey dagrin come perform

Crescent uni? Where be da one for abakaliki.

All ds eastern schools and dem life style.

Ishi agu top and okonko cap for school show, when no b kporakpo event.

What's bad in wearing the traditional wear Stereotypical!

Last time I checked, Crescent University was located in Abeokuta, Ogun State. Am sure NUC wouldn't have two schools on its accredited universities' list.

So much for hasty conclusions.

awodman: Pls house some1 requested that I send my Bank Code and Branch code.What exactly does the person need.I will appreciate your responses.Thanks

https://www.nairaland.com/1051798/sort-codes-nigerian-banks

The person wants the particular branch to pay the money into. Whatever the case, your account number is enough if you don't know it, the bank will 'sort' out itself.

I'm not a fan of MTN but one has to really give thumbs up to their marketing department. There was no better way of making 'porting' apter than this.

Nice take over. Funny part is that the semi-literate fans can (and some will) follow him to the MTN port - the power of branding and goodwill this is!

May is around the corner. How feasible is this by June?

Silliness!!!

When the businessman sights business opportunities to tap into, he will sight and site places and factories favourable to his investment decisions.

The same way FG goes around seeking foreign investors, if the climate is positive, bees will come to the pot without advertising.

chineduace: This post is very important because when Mobile Number Portability starts, it will be difficult to know which network you are calling.

Valid point but I do notice that except foe caller tunes, there are different ways 'ring ring' sounds on various networks.


Airtel has the classiest.

MTN sounds like a truck "phun phun"

Glo sounds like a long horn "phuuuuuuuuun"

Etisalat is the worst, sometimes if you don't put it on speaker, you may not even know it's ringing.

Trae_z handsome gentleman

Apparently, some people tend to satisfy their orgy to "blame 'em Muslims" - so much for prejudice and objectivity.

The quote from AlJazeera says:

Muslim community tipped off police about plans to launch a "terrorist attack" against a Canadian passenger train .

Canadian authorities say they have arrested and charged two men with an al Qaeda-linked plot to "carry out a terrorist attack" against a passenger train thanks to the help of the Muslim community.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Monday named the two accused as Chiheb
Esseghaier, 30 , and Raed Jaser, 35 , from the Montreal and Toronto areas respectively.

Muhammad Robert Heft , who runs an outreach organisation for Islamic converts, and Hussein Hamdani, a lawyer and longtime advocate in the Muslim community, said one
of the suspects is Tunisian and the other is from the United Arab Emirates .

Superintendent Doug Best said authorities were tipped off by members of the community of one of the suspects .
"It was sort of a thank you moment," Hamdani said .


"This tip, this lead , came from the Muslim community. But for the Muslim community
we would not be talking about an arrest today .

"This is evidence and proof that the Canadian Muslim community, rather than a
community that should be seen as suspect , is in fact partners for peace and
here is the proof of it."

A criminal is a criminal - what however is propagandaism is when a tribe or religion is intentionally attached to appear as the cause of the crime. Muslims reporting muslims? Just like death, crime 'respects' no belief.

72 virgins etc shows the level of some's intelligence. If the Canadaians were bigots, they would surely not have made such progress.

I don't tend to post on religious stuff here on NL and neither am I ready for a debate but you do know when you have got intellectual discussions and rascally tantrums.


"Verily, Allah knows those who believe, and verily, He knows the hypocrites [i.e. Allah will test the people with good and hard days to
discriminate the good from the wicked
(although Allah knows all that before
putting them to test)].

And verily, they shall bear their own loads, and other loads besides their own, and verily, they shall be questioned on the Day of Resurrection about that which they used to fabricate."

Love this part!

Whatever the case is, we do need to evaluate the use of mental institutions in the country. There's this stigma like it's only for mad people. Inference could be linked to his unemployment issue but opening up and being counselled ccould have helped a lot!

Similarly, the Federal Government's policy of posting corps members to places not parallel to their career line is condemnable.

You are garments for each other. One thing I find amusing is how we wey we know dey the house go come sabi the house pass you.

OP, start by initiating discussion with him. We can't become him with our opinions. If this attempt fails as the case is now, find an influential middleman for both of you to TALK.


Communication eases quite a lot when those we intend to get the message get it firsthand.

Men get ego ish. The funny part about such cases is if maybe you quit, the lesson of valuing what you had would just be dawning on him. Unfortunately, he is using the escapism method to pour his frustrations on you - whatever you do, just be extra patient.

Ultimately, having a roundtable will be the best.

The State should have its own Library Board nau!

That's gross unseriousness on the part of the state government ^^^

What can I say?

These days we have individuals trying to remodel religion to their own 'taste'. The other day I was listening to BBC's Heart & Soul programme where one LGBT was saying they need to be gay muslims bla bla bla

No need wasting time. . .

The 'poor mum' you wrote can have some varying connotations - being someone who is responsible for the sponsorship of her education and considering her 'condition', tell her NOT!

You may also want to consider her health etc. I feel you want to release this thing out of your mind but sometimes, those who said "what you don't know won't kill you" at times have their reasons

Graduate Trainee - AUD-GRAD 107 clearly stated as the subject of the email.

You don't expect HR to recruit starters for an experienced position. When there is a vacancy to fill, it can be advertised for QUALIFIED people to apply.

There's nothing worse than betrayal of trust from those who you least expected it from.

Since your friend has resolved her own ish with the husband, it's left to you to treat yours - obviously, the Mr. Lecturer's threat has ended. The memory can be erased a bit with the removal of such irresponsible pictures on a married man's phone. This is where your sister can start learning from - who knows if he posted such pics online or someone else collected it/them and saved it for the 'greenmail' day?

Methinks your background and family value (which I have without due dilligence, assumed from your post) was what made your sister deny at first until you provided evidence.

I feel as the older one, sit your sister down and counsel her well. My guesstimate was that her naivety made her succumb to the lecturer's threat - this is what ignorant ones who don't know the proper channels of resolving issues face at schools. If you're doing the right thing, and you know it is right, you won't fall into the wrong holes!

Guide your sister in school and other challenges she will face in life - I feel if she had told you or a responsible 'mama lecturer' in school about this earlier, this would have been averted. When they say information is power, that power is very wide and dynamic.

Seriously, some people go to schools, schools don't go through them. Some of us were told experiences before such bad experiences came our way. Age doesn't necessarily do with maturity but reading and listening to others' can make you wiser.

Monitor your sister, counsel her and be her friend.


Goodluck

ITbomb: I no see anything o concerning nairaland
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13763339

My friend,

This morning the OP refers to is 2 years different from the link you provided. That article was in 2011. Moreover, am guessing the OP listened to either Documentary or Heart&Soul on the world service so, it will most likely be podcasted in their archive.


Nairaland is on the world wide web, so I don't think it should be a hard thing to find.

^^^Wow, that's news. The last time I contacted them, it required an annual or semi-annual due.
