TV/Movies › Re: Will Smith's Terrible Nigerian Accent As Dr. Bennet Omalu In "Concussion” by mya1: 2:10pm On Sep 01, 2015

sonnie10:
To most of them, African is one country. I asked someone the other day what is the capital of Egypt and he replied, "Nigeria of course."

Omg! This is pathetically hilarious!

I do agree with the Op here. If you're trying to depict someone, then depict him in his entirety.
For those that said Bennett does not have the Nigerian accent, he does! I bet most people just watched the first 3 mins of the video and concluded.
Will's portrayal of a Nigerian accent is laughable. Not even remotely close .

And there is a Nigerian accent!!! Irrespective of tribe there's an accent that's peculiar to every Nigerian that makes you call them Nigerian when they speak.

chymystique:

My point is in some abusive relationship, the abused dont usually mind being abused and most times tends to like it... though to the eyes of the world its a psychological disorder

True! In fact, change "some" to "most".
The truth is that many times, the abused don't even see it as an abuse until someone points it out to them.

They see it as a way of life.

Romance › Re: Love Story: I Wish I Had Held Back ( Very Touching) by mya1: 8:22am On Aug 24, 2015

Very touching story. As opposed to many people's opinion though, it's not an easy decision to make. Of course, we can all conveniently say " I'd have picked Tope" but in reality, I can bet many would be stuck. Think about it...

Ella had done absolutely wrong, she was a very good woman in her right too. He was already engaged to be married to her. In fact a date had been fixed and he cared deeply for her also. So how easy would letting all of that go?

In the case of Tope, I get why the writer felt it was lust and not love. He did care for Tope but wasn't actually in love with her.
If he ever genuinely loved Tope, he would have made an attempt to reach out upon his arrival in the country.
Besides, he had no long term plans for her while leaving Kogi.
He was caught up in the moment with her, he saw someone that had and expressed interest in him and got struck by that.
His love for Tope was never genuine.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Getting Ready For Job Interview – How To Keep Calm by mya1: 7:42pm On Jul 30, 2015*

WHILE YOU WAIT, DO NOT SIT

What type of job interview would you go for and they offer you a seat but you opt rather to stand?
I see it as a sign of nervousness.

I thought what you're advocating is confidence.
When offered a seat, you say "Thank you" and take a sit professionally. When invited into the interview room, you stand promptly taking a brisk and confident walk into the room.

Other than this point, all others are on point(no pun intended) . By the way, you must be very harsh to disqualify a potential employee because of a sneeze.

Until pharmacy council of Nigeria speak, I can't recommend anything to my client!

Aren't you a doctor? Besides, they are your patients and not clients (if you're a doc I mean)
Morphine has always been used as a pain relieving drug since time immemorial.

The problem is its propensity to be abused, hence the reason it's a controlled drug. I think it's a schedule 2 drug, hence only sold under the supervision and authority of a pharmacist following a strict prescription from a doctor.

PLEASE THEY SHOULD JUST SHUT IT AND KEEP QUITE BEFORE THE WEST WOULD LAUGH AT US FOR THINKING WE JUST GOT MORPHINE NOW THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR AGES AND MIND YOU BEFORE YOU APC WAILERS COME TO OBJECT, I AM A PHARMACIST AND MORPHINE IS AN OLD STORY.

Apparently morphine was never licensed for use in Nigerian hospitals. Once my grandma was very ill at the hospital and she was in intense pain. I was surprised they didn't give her morphine to help alleviate it . My mum later told me it's not licensed in Nigerian hospitals.

I guess it's a good news for Nigeria, one way or the other.

I am interested in the case of that pharmacist that was arrested for having tram tramadol in his shop. Human rights groups needs to hear about it

There's no human right to this. He's lucky he's not sentenced in fact! He's not a pharmacist hence has no right to sell a controlled drug which tramadol is.

There are laws against this!

These drugs are easily abused hence should be sold only under the permission and authority of a registered pharmacist!

So many unauthorised medicine stores peddled as pharmacies!

Very expository and detailed!
Thanks Op.
I attended an interview last week and believe it or not, I was asked all these questions.

Thanks to proper prep, experience and articles like this on nairaland, I believe I aced it.

Like you rightly said, always back all answers with examples.

I almost goofed whilst at my interview when I asked my interviewer if I was talking too much.

His response was" Oh absolutely not, I particularly like the fact that you are giving personal examples to back up your claim ".

So, I believe this write up would help a lot of people.

At 28,I should expect that you'd have more to you than your handsome face . That's all you've talked about.

If all you have going for you is your 'looks' and you see that as the automatic passport to having a nice woman to date, I am sorry, your story would remain the same.

You need to brush up other aspects of you
- can you maintain a conversation? Are you smart / intelligent? Are you humorous? Etc

I don't want to think all girls are intimidated by your looks. I should think you're deficient in some aspects. If it's the case , make amends.

Looks may capture girls not women! So, check yourself.

Richy4:
Yea but that's where many on this thread are missing it.
Most places abroad, if you are asked to hang out, you have to pay for what you ate.

Someone invites you for a birthday @ the restaurant, apart from the drink he or she might agree to pay, it is your responsibility to pay whatever you eat at that person's birthday.

that was a culture shock for me too the first day it happened but luckily i got cash to cover my expenses..

So any birthday or hang out you go if the person is not a Nigerian that was hosting, you got to know that you are paying. So you eat according to your wallet.

Nigerians have imbibed the act! In fact what happens now is that the invitees give the celebrant a treat by paying his/her bill. Of course that's optional but it's regarded as good sense since it's the person's day.

pure2012soul:
Why would someone invite another person out and still expect him to pay? The person that offered the invitation should foot the bill jare!

That's Nigerian mentality.

In England, when someone says" let's go out", abeg pocket your money or have your card with you.

If this story is true, I wonder how the girl could fall cheaply for his lies - if he had no cash on him, he could easily have paid with his debit card.

Very hilarious!

holicalpha:
I wanted to say it sounds like a lie until the Suspect's mother confirmed that he has done this before.

But seriously, The way the girl said it all sounds like a LIE... The teacher taking her from behind,pouring out whitish thing and threatening her not to tell..I find it hard to believe. The Police shouldn't be lazy, they should conduct a thorough investigation before carrying out any sentence.

- Valar Morghulis

It is even because of the bolded I find this hard to believe.

I am the greatest rape critic, left to me, life imprisonment is still a lenient punishment. That's how much I abhor rape and seek justice and deserving punishment for the victim and pepertrators respectively.

What I would not conform to though is having an innocent person suffer for a crime they didn't commit.
The girl's version is questionable. For starters, if the man did penetrate her from behind, how did she see the whitish fluid that came out of him - her tale looks scripted.

Secondly, the suspect's mother's claim - I want to think I know how Nigerian mothers shield their children.. The average Nigerian mother I know would rather keep mum than use a past incidence against her son.
If upon investigation, her son is found guilty, then her testimony could come in handy as a justification of the proof.
Given that the suspect hasn't been tried nor found guilty, the mother coming up with this claim tells me something is wrong somewhere.

A thorough investigation needs to be carried out so that an innocent man is not made to suffer for something he's not guilty of

BUT

If the man is found guilty , he should be made to go through a very gruesome punishment. Castration and life imprisonment could be a start.

People shouting up and down yet they don't know the content of the Bill. The Bill does not make it legal to have sex with an 11 year old. It simply dashed out stricter punishment for those caught abusing children under 11 years old. Before the Bill such offenders did not get a life sentence, some never even saw jail time. The biggest problem with most Nairalanders and Nigerians in general is pure ignorance, everything gets done based on emotions instead of knowledge!

I am really confused on what the brouhaha is all about. I've read the full text of the bill section 3 mentioned children 11years and below while section 4 & 5 talked of children 14years n 17years respectively. I think we all should go and read it up before arriving at a conclusion.

Many Nigerians are lazy readers but more than that, lazy thinkers!

If you do not spell things out to the minutest detail, they can never analyse it.
From the journalists right to the common man.

It's a shame!

The bill is comprehensive enough but still, see what people are typing.

Don't be surprised if someone quotes you to say you're speaking gibberish.

I have always said this- women are their own worst enemies!

Though in this case, apart from the fact that the woman is mean, she is doing her son more injustice by not instilling the ability to be self sufficient . It is just pathetic!

Whilst growing up, we had a cooking rota at home. My brothers and I each had days alloted to us for cooking and cleaning.
I learnt how to wash a car from the age of 12 despite having two older brothers . My parents learnt the act of balance for their kids and ensured we were self reliant in all ramifications .

Recently, my bro came home and treated us to one of his delicacies - thanks to his culinary skills.

Some parents need sensitization on the ills of their actions .They need to be enlightened on the creation of that balance for their kids. I will rather give something you could /could not need than withhold something that may be needed.

Cleaning after one and the ability to nourish one's self is without a doubt a necessary skill every human being should possess.

In conclusion, some parents need education!

You see its really no surprise that these girls got raped.

More often than not when you read these rape stories, you discover that the victims probably brought the mishap upon themselves.

When I started reading this story the first question that crossed my mind was At what time did it happen? And lo and behold there it was - 11pm.

I don't care if it was their mother that was in the hospital. They should have just passed the night in the hospital. Or better still plan their movement at a safer time. In a place like Bariga, I will not dare to be out in the streets at that time. They were simply careless.

You're very silly with this claim. undecided

Is it your way of justifying rape or what?

Do feminists support when a woman chooses to cook the meals or wash the plates or give her whole salary to her husband? Or do you make the woman feel like a fool for making such choices?

Feminists and equality of choice. Haha!

Absolutely! humans are free to make their choice. Your example though, all you need is to have a talk with these woman and you'd find out for a majority it isn't an independent choice, rather a bullocks of societal standard they feel they have to conform to.
Now is that really a choice?

The education is not " don't do this" rather "
Don't do simply because you belong to a gender "with the exception of defined biological roles of course.

Mind you, I said humans -so it applies to both gender.

Who says a man has to be the highest gross earner of the home?
Why should a boyfriend be the one to be spending on his girlfriend ?

I'm a humanist - for the equality and good of humans.

Is this your idea of "I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody" you really suck at logic and analysis . Lemme make it simple for you I belong to everybody means he belongs to the totality of a set of people and I belong to nobody negates the statement I belong to everybody in the sense that, the earlier everybody has been eliminated to by the nobody. It is just like saying I belong to every Nigerian and I belong to no Nigerian. It's only a misuse of phrase all he ought to say was "I belong to everybody, I belong to no one"
