Nairaland GeneralHusband Baths 25-year Old Wife With Acid For Not Giving Birth To A Baby Boy by NaijaDays(op): 2:46pm On Mar 10, 2018
A 25-year-old woman was left with a horrifying injuries after her husband allegedly threw acid in her face when she gave birth to a baby girl – because he wanted a boy. The shocking injuries Farah Biwi, suffered have been revealed as her husband Siraj Biwi, 32, remains on the run after he fled following the alleged attack.





She has been left with horrific burns on her face, hands and stomach after her husband allegedly threw acid over her on March 7.



The couple were married for eight years and have two children together, both girls.



Farah is now being treated in hospital after the attack – said to be motivated by her ‘failure’ to produce a male child and fulfil a dowry – in Moradabad, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.


Police are searching for her husband and hope to arrest him for voluntarily causing grievous harm.

Farah said: “After the birth of the first girl only, my in-laws started to target me as if I deliberately delivered a baby girl. “The harassment kept intensifying as time passed by. “For the past year, things had become much worse.

“Under pressure from his family, my husband would ask me to get more money from my parents and give it to them.”When I didn’t oblige them, they started to beat me up.




“It come to a pass when my second daughter was born. “I was trying to live with the daily dose of torture, and thinking about the well being my daughters. “If I part ways from the man, who would provide for my two daughters and myself?

“But I could never imagine that he would go to the extent of pouring acid on me.”I won’t forgive him for this ever.”

WebmastersDomain Lifecycle Businesses You Should Be Aware Of by NaijaDays(op): 7:36pm On Oct 05, 2017
Ever since its inception in 1983 by Paul Mockapetris, the Domain Name System has been an integral part of all web operations. Conversely, a growing number of businesses register domain names matching with their brand names, ensuring an effective branding in the digital sphere.


As of February 2017, there were 195.43 million domain names registered on the web, but the 100th .com domain was registered some 30 years ago, in 1987. Quite the exponential growth, eh?
Meanwhile, if planning to register a domain name, knowledge about the domain lifecycle is crucial. Being “leased” from the registry rather than purchased once for a lifetime, domain names have their expiration dates. Businesses can avoid the loss of their publicly recognized domain names if they are aware of the domain lifecycle.
Let’s explore its stages.

Available
The pre-stage of domain lifecycle is when it is not registered by anyone and is available. Research is the key here!
Registered
Once registered, you are officially the owner of the domain name for 1-10 years. Congratulations!
Expires If Not Renewed
Within 24 hours of the expiration date, the domain name is deactivated. Your website and email won’t be working at the time.
Enters Renewal Grace Period
This stage lasts 30 days, (occasionally more depending on the registrar’s policies but better don’t risk it). You can still renew the domain name for its regular price.
If Not Renewed, It Enters Redemption Period
After the grace period is over, the domain enters Redemption period for 30 days; you’d have to pay $100 or more to get back your domain.
After Redemption, It Enters Pending Delete
Once the Redemption period is over, the domain enters the Deletion period. It lasts up to 5 days; during this period your domain name gets deleted. There is nothing you can do about it!
After Pending Delete
After the domain is deleted from the registries, it becomes available to be registered again, and its lifecycle restarts. Yet, you have to face potential competitors here since the domain name can be registered by anyone!

Nairaland GeneralFloyd Mayweather Beats Conor Mcgregor By 10th-round TKO In Money-megafight by NaijaDays(op): 10:34am On Aug 27, 2017
Floyd Mayweather Jr. picked up the 50th win of his illustrious career, defeating Conor McGregor by 10th-round TKO on Saturday night in Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena.

With the victory, Mayweather surpasses Rocky Marciano, who retired in 1956 with a 49-0 record.


McGregor more than held his own in what was his first professional boxing fight, but the gulf between him and Mayweather grew the longer the fight went on.

After the bout reached the halfway point, McGregor began looking visibly fatigued and Mayweather sensed an opening. He showed a level of aggression rarely seen in his previous 49 victories. According to Stats, Mayweather had landed 132 punches compared to 80 for McGregor entering the 10th round.

In the 10th round, Mayweather really went on the offensive, and McGregor had no answer for the barrage. After Mayweather landed a series of blows without reply from McGregor, referee Robert Byrd called for the bell.

Mayweather also appeared to shut the door on stepping in the ring again, saying this was his last fight, per BBC Sport.


Many expected Mayweather to beat McGregor, with the biggest question being whether the fight would last the full 12 rounds. Mayweather's last knockout was against Victor Ortiz in 2011.


Although McGregor is UFC's lightweight champion, he was clearly overmatched against somebody who's one of the best defensive boxers in history. The likes of Manny Pacquiao, Canelo Alvarez, Miguel Cotto and Oscar De La Hoya have all tried to take down Mayweather and failed. McGregor stood little chance in what was his boxing debut.

Saturday's fight wasn't about putting on a competitive matchup in the ring. Instead, it offered Mayweather what's likely to be one more massive payday and granted McGregor the opportunity to earn more from one night than he had over the entirety of his UFC career to date.


ESPN.com's Darren Rovell projected in June Mayweather vs. McGregor could gross a little over $606 million. The two fighters signed a confidentiality agreement, so their full earnings are unlikely to ever be revealed, but ESPN.com's Dan Rafael reported Mayweather will take home a purse of at least $100 million, while McGregor will make a minimum of $30 million.

From an aesthetic perspective, Mayweather's victory over Pacquiao in May 2015 was disappointing, but it was a massive financial success for the pair of stars.

Rovell and Rafael reported Mayweather took home between $220 million and $230 million, while Pacquiao earned $150 million, which was to be divided among he and Top Rank founder Bob Arum.


As long as Saturday's pay-per-view meets its revenue expectations, it's doubtful either Mayweather or McGregor will walk away regretting his involvement.

If anything, the two may consider a rematch.

Foreign Affairs'A Middle Finger To America': What People Are Saying About Trump's First Preside by NaijaDays(op): 9:24am On Aug 27, 2017
Donald Trump and former Maricopa County, Arizona, sheriff Joe Arpaio.
President Donald Trump issued his first presidential exonerate of previous Maricopa County, Arizona, sheriff Joe Arpaio on Friday night.

President Donald Trump's exonerate of previous Maricopa C0unty, Arizona, sheriff Joe Arpaio got some blended responses on Friday night, yet administrators and social equality advocates to a great extent denounced the move.

Arpaio, a staunch Trump supporter and countryman in Trump's yearslong and unbeneficial journey to refute President Barack Obama's citizenship, was discovered liable a month ago of criminal scorn for abusing the terms of a 2011 court arrange in a racial profiling case.

He lost a re-election bid last year. The 85-year-old lawman thanked Trump for the pardon and lauded him for "standing by law enforcement."
Here's what other people are saying about Trump's pardon of Arpaio:
Sen. John McCain of Arizona: Trump "undermines his claim for the respect of rule of law" with the Arpaio pardon.
John McCain.play

Sen. John McCain said in a statement on Friday:
"No one is above the law and the individuals entrusted with the privilege of being sworn law officers should always seek to be beyond reproach in their commitment to fairly enforcing the laws they swore to uphold. Mr. Arpaio was found guilty of criminal contempt for continuing to illegally profile Latinos living in Arizona based on their perceived immigration status in violation of a judge’s orders. The President has the authority to make this pardon, but doing so at this time undermines his claim for the respect of rule of law as Mr. Arpaio has shown no remorse for his actions."

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi: A "mockery of rule of law."

Trump's "pardon of fellow birther Arpaio makes mockery of rule of law, & says communities of color can be targeted & abused w/ total impunity," Pelosi said on Twitter.


Jeff Flake, the junior Arizona senator, said Trump should have let "the judicial process ... take its course."

Gallego said: "By pardoning Joe Arpaio, Donald Trump has blessed Arpaio's racist and unconstitutional police practices. Trump's pardon of Arpaio is unconscionable and unworthy of the White House. This is Trump's first pardon of a crony. Will it be his last?"


Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates: Trump just revealed "his own contempt for our Constitution."

Sally Yates, who briefly served as deputy US attorney general after Trump's inauguration, said Friday: "With his pardon pen, POTUS reveals his own contempt for our Constitution, our courts, and our founding principles of equality and justice."


Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Trump "used the cover of the storm," referring to Hurricane Harvey, to pardon Arpaio.

Schumer said:
" As millions of people in TX and LA are prepping for the hurricane, the President is using the cover of the storm to pardon a man who violated a court's order to stop discriminating against Latinos and nan courageous transgender men and women from serving our nation's Armed Forces. So sad, so weak. Instead of seeking to unify the country as promised, POTUS has doubled down on encouraging white supremacists post-Charlottesville. Joe Arpaio ignored the courts and the rule of law in order to systematically target Latinos in AZ. The definition of racism and bigotry."


Vanita Gupta, head of the Leadership Conference of Civil and Human Rights: Trump has "yet again damaged himself."

Read Gupta's full statement below:
WASHINGTON – Vanita Gupta, president and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, released the following statement after President Donald Trump issued a pardon for Sheriff Joe Arpaio:
“Instead of a dog whistle, President Trump picked up a bull horn and let out a hateful shout tonight when he pardoned someone who personifies the same bigotry and intolerance we witnessed in Charlottesville. For more than two decades, Sheriff Arpaio terrorized and profiled Arizona’s Latino citizens, was finally voted out of office, and was convicted for failing to follow a court order to cease his unlawful, racist policing.
The white supremacists, Neo-Nazis, and others the president excused heard his endorsement of racist and illegal policing policies loud and clear yet again. Trump has, yet again, damaged himself, the rule of law, and our country tonight. This pardon sends a dangerous message that a law enforcement officer who abused his position of power and defied a court order can simply be excused by a president who himself clearly does not respect the law.”


Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut: This is a "middle finger to America."

Murphy said: "The Arpaio pardon is basically a big middle finger to America. A loud, proud declaration that this Administration supports racism."


Republican strategist and conservative commentator Ana Navarro: "It's another slap in the face to the Latino community."

Navarro torched the pardon on Friday night:
"This is a slap in the face to the Latino community, to most of us in the Latino community — perhaps not the guy who hates taco trucks — but a lot of other Latinos see Joe Arpaio as a symbol of racism of discrimination, of racial profiling, of abuses of civil rights, and the president of the United States has seen fit to pardon him today in a very extraordinary move, and I think he didn't do it in Arizona earlier in the week because he knew all hell would break loose.
Because he knew there would be thousands of impromptu protesters that would have shown up outside that rally to protest that act and what it would have meant. That's why the mayor of Phoenix warned him not to go to Arizona, because he was afraid that he was going to pardon Joe Arpaio. and what that would mean in that community — turning it into another Charlottesville.
So we have a president of the United States, a so-called president of the United States — I call him president of the divided states — that in the last two weeks, has stood with racists, with white supremacists, with neo-Nazis, and now with this man who is a symbol for civil rights abuses and racial profiling. He is the President of 34 percent of Americans, that's about it."


Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse: "He does not deserve a pardon."

The Democratic Rhode Island senator said:
"Arpaio systemically discriminated against AZ Latinos in defiance of our Constitution and ignored our courts. He does not deserve a pardon. Now is a time to bind the wounds left by white nationalists’ repugnant attacks in Charlottesville. Instead, President Trump has again doubled down on the side of ignorance, bigotry, intolerance, and hate."


California Rep. Nanette Barragan said the pardon is "sending the message it is OK to racially profile."

Barragan, who represents California's 44th Congressional District, said the Arpaio pardon is "sending the message it is OK to racially profile and defy a court order because the president will come and save you."


The American Civil Liberties Union said the pardon is a "presidential endorsement of racism."

Read the ACLU's full statement below:
"President Trump has pardoned former Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, who was found guilty of criminal contempt for deliberately violating a federal court order that prohibited illegal detentions based only on suspicions about immigration status.
The ruling stems from an initial lawsuit brought by Latino residents of Maricopa who successfully challenged Arpaio’s policies of racial profiling and illegal detentions. The plaintiff class was represented by the American Civil Liberties Union and partner organizations. Arpaio repeatedly flouted court orders in that civil rights case, leading to both civil and criminal contempt rulings against him.
ACLU Deputy Legal Director Cecillia Wang said:
'With his pardon of Arpaio, Trump has chosen lawlessness over justice, division over unity, hurt over healing. Once again, the president has acted in support of illegal, failed immigration enforcement practices that target people of color and have been struck down by the courts. His pardon of Arpaio is a presidential endorsement of racism.'"

Mr. Trump's pardoning of Joe Arpaio is another attack on American values and makes a mockery of our justice system. Joe Arpaio is a convicted felon who openly promoted racial profiling and discrimination against American citizens who are Latina and Latino.
This pardon further divides our nation, fuels bigotry and undermines the rule of law. How long will our legislative leaders in Washington stand by and do nothing?"

Nairaland GeneralHundreds Of Russians Protest Tighter Internet Controls by NaijaDays(op): 9:06am On Aug 27, 2017
The protest Saturday in Moscow followed a series of measures clamping down on internet use
Around 1,000 Russians conquered pouring precipitation in Moscow on Saturday to exhibit against the administration's moves to fix controls on web use, with police capturing around twelve dissenters.
Shouting slogans such as "Russia will be free" and "Russia without censorship", the protesters were escorted by several police officers, in a march authorised by local authorities.
Several were also marching in support of Khudoberdi Nurmatov, a reporter for the Russian opposition newspaper Novaya Gazeta, who faces deportation back to Uzbekistan over allegedly violating immigration laws.
Some of those were arrested, according to OVD-Info, a rights group that monitors detentions of activists, while an AFP photographer saw two protesters carrying rainbow flags detained.
In July, Russia's parliament voted to outlaw web tools that let internet users sidestep official bans of certain websites.
It allows telecommunications watchdog Roskomnadzor to compile a list of so-called anonymiser services and prohibit any that fail to respect the bans, while also requiring users of online messaging services to identify themselves with a telephone number.
"Innovation and technology will win! We will defend our freedoms!" one protester said, according to a broadcast of the march on YouTube.
Russia's opposition groups rely heavily on the internet to make up for their lack of access to the mainstream media.
But the Russian authorities have been clamping down on such online services, citing security concerns.
In June, Russian officials threatened to ban the Telegram messaging app after the FSB security service said it had been used by the attackers responsible for the deadly Saint Petersburg metro bombing in April.

Nairaland General"Professor Johnbull" - Actor Expresses Concern Over The Educational Sector by NaijaDays(op): 9:00am On Aug 27, 2017
Kanayo O. Kanayo has expressed his concern over the situation of the Nigerian educational sector, especially with the ongoing ASUU strike caused by the failure of the Federal Government to meet the union’s long-time demands.
The star of TV series “Professor Johnbull“, shared his thoughts via an Instagram post, insisting that both the Federal Governments and ASUU have equal roles to play in resolving the issues at hand.
He went on to explain that just as Universities are funded by NGOs abroad, ASUU should seek other sources of funding.
Kanayo added that the Government would do well not to play politics with ASUU as the future of Nigerian students depended on them.

SportsOngoing!!! Mayweather Vs Mcgregor - Moment Of Truth As Money Fight Looms by NaijaDays(op): 1:56am On Aug 27, 2017
Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. (L) and UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor face off during their official weigh-in on August 25 in Las Vegas, Nevada

Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor arranged for their cash turning standoff on Saturday as Las Vegas crackled with reckoning for what is ready to end up plainly the wealthiest battle ever.
Undefeated welterweight boxing title holder Mayweather and blended hand to hand fighting star McGregor are relied upon to touch gloves at around 9:00 pm (0400 GMT Sunday) before 20,000 fans at the T-Mobile Arena.
The disputable 12-round confrontation between two of the greatest names in their particular controls has caught the creative ability of the battle sports world however has been rejected by many in boxing as a ludicrous bungle.
Mayweather, who retired unbeaten in 2015 with a perfect 49-0 record, is widely expected to inflict a one-sided defeat on McGregor, a two-time world champion in MMA's Ultimate Fighting Championship who has never boxed professionally.
Veteran trainer Teddy Atlas predicted a rough night inside the ropes for McGregor.
"Would a ping-pong player have a chance of scoring a point against Roger Federer?" Atlas said.
"It's going to be like walking through a really bad neighbourhood late at night. McGregor's going to get mugged."
The high-rollers of the gambling world agree, with the lion's share of the money being bet on the fight placed on Mayweather.
As of Saturday, four separate bets of $1 million or more had been placed on Mayweather to win. Those wagers included a $1.2 million cash bet that will earn around $240,000.
Yet the fact that so many in the boxing and betting world see the outcome of Saturday's contest as a foregone conclusion has not deterred the massed ranks of McGregor's Irish supporters.
The Las Vegas streets surrounding the fight venue following Friday's weigh-in were transformed into a sea of emerald green as McGregor's raucous army of supporters danced and chanted under blazing sunshine.
Stacked odds

The stacked odds against McGregor are also unlikely to put off casual sports fans, with millions of viewers across the United States expected to pay $99.95 to watch on pay-per-view television.
Stephen Espinoza, the head of cable network Showtime Sports which is selling the fight in the US, said surveys had shown that fans were not bothered by predictions of a one-sided bout.
"The casual fans were absolutely adamant," Espinoza said.
"Their response almost universally was 'We don't care if it's a mismatch ... if there's a .01 (percent) chance that something incredible could happen, we need to watch it.'
"And that's why they're going to watch it."
Some projections have indicated the fight is on track to surpass the 4.6 million pay-per-view buys of Mayweather's 2015 "Fight of the Century" against Manny Pacquiao.
If that happens, the bout is almost certain to become the richest fight in history and will leave Mayweather and McGregor laughing all the way to the bank.
ESPN reported on Saturday that Mayweather is guaranteed a $100 million purse from the fight, which could reach $250 million if the most bullish pay-per-view targets are met.
McGregor, a 29-year-old former plumber who was living on unemployment benefits four years ago, is guaranteed $30 million, but could pocket as much as $100 million, ESPN said.
Both Mayweather and McGregor have spent large parts of the build-up to the fight trash-talking, with an ill-tempered global promotional tour laced with expletives, repeated homophobic slurs and allegations of racist language.
McGregor snarled and yelled into Mayweather's face on Friday when the two men went nose-to-nose at their weigh-in.
McGregor taunted Mayweather after tipping the scales at 153 pounds, well inside the 154-pound limit, but substantially heavier than his opponent, who weighed in at 149.5 pounds.
"That's the worst shape I've ever seen him," McGregor said of Mayweather. "I'm going to breeze through him, trust me on that."
A nonplussed Mayweather shrugged off his weight disadvantage and vowed to stop McGregor inside the distance.
"Weight doesn't win fights, fighting wins fights," Mayweather said. "It won't go the distance. Mark my words -- I'm not worried about the scales."

Nairaland General27 Year Old Model Forced To Take Off Her Cloth In Front Of Prisoners And Filmed by NaijaDays(op): 7:03pm On Jul 31, 2017
Disturbing footage showing a model being forced to sprint in front of prisoners in a Colombian police station has surfaced online.
The video shows Katherine Martinez, a 27-year-old model, and mother-of-one, exposing herself to officers while she is handcuffed to a window in a police station in Cali, Colombia.
However, Ms. Martinez claims she only played up for the video because she was drunk, and was doing as the officers asked so that they would bring her a chair.
Model 'forced to strip' in Colombian police station
She said: ‘All the police officers told me that if I wanted them to pass me a chair or take my handcuffs off, I had to take off my dress and show them my body. ‘Then the male prisoners began to yell at me, “Yes, yes, lift your dress up.” ‘I remember some things but not everything. I remember them telling me they were filming me.’
She also said the incident has ‘badly affected’ her emotionally.
Cali Police commander Hugo Casas has apologized for his officers’ behavior.
He said: ‘Our police force condemns this behavior and disciplinary and judicial investigations are underway. ‘The officers have been fully identified. One is a patrol officer who drove the woman to the station, but another official is involved for failing to assist her.’ Ms. Martinez is attempting to sue the police officers over the incident.

Nairaland GeneralSee The 10-year-old Obese Boy Who Is Addicted To Eating Toilet Paper by NaijaDays(op): 1:38pm On Jul 30, 2017
Caden Benjamin is addicted to eating toilet paper
A 10-year-old boy who is constantly hungry due to a rare condition eats rolls of toilet paper if he is unable to get any other food, Dailymail has reported.
The boy identified as Caden Benjamin, from Standerton in South Africa, weighs 14 stone 2lbs (90 kilogrammes) because of his constant overeating.
Now, he has been diagnosed with genetic disorder called Prader-Willi syndrome, which is characterised by an obsessive compulsion to eat. His mother Zola Benjamin says it means Caden will eat anything he can get his hands on.



‘At one point, Caden was eating toilet paper. He’d eat rolls of it,’ she said.
‘Actually, he’d eat any paper he would find in the house. If there’s nothing for him to eat, he’ll scrape together the dirt he finds on the floor and eat that.’
Several years ago, he was forced to undergo a tracheotomy and he now breathes through a tube inserted into his windpipe.
Prader-Willi syndrome is a rare, incurable disorder that affects thousands of people worldwide, resulting in physical, mental and behavioural problems.
The condition is made worse by the fact that people need less food than their peers because their bodies have less muscle and tend to burn fewer calories.
Ms Benjamin added: ‘At three years old he was 40 kg (6 stone 4 lbs) and at that time, we didn’t know what was wrong with him.
‘We went to a number of doctors and no one could tell us what was wrong and why he was gaining so much weight.’

Eventually, a doctor at the Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Pretoria ran further tests and diagnosed Caden’s illness.
Now, Caden struggles to move around and even breathe because he is so overweight.
He also suffers bouts of depression because he is unable to live like a normal child.

Nairaland GeneralTop 5 Skills In Nigeria That Will Get You Hired In 2017 by NaijaDays(op): 5:56pm On Jul 26, 2017
As the chances of getting executive jobs by school leavers diminish, there is a need for extra skills to be able to meet the demand of employers.

A concerned Nigerian has penned down a compelling piece to boost the chances of progress of job applicants in the highly competitive Labour Market.


It is no longer news that racking up skills is one of the surest ways to get jobs this 2017 in Nigeria. If you have read my letter, you would have a clue of the message I am trying to pass across. For every advertised job in Nigeria, there are thousands of job seekers that apply for the specific vacancy which only the talented would get[in most cases.

Unfortunately, there are lots of skills to learn; but not all of them can get you hired easily.These top 5 skills in Nigeria according to opinion is based on a number of job searches that are related to them. In this article, I will list out the top 5 skills in Nigeria below.
Top 5 Skills in Nigeria That Will Get You Hired in 2017

1) IT SKILLS

This is among the top 5 skills in Nigeria, and it wouldn’t come as a surprise to many, but the surprise here is that not every IT skill is actually a hot skill in Nigeria. There are some IT skills that are considered drab skills; it means are not always needed and no much vacancy advert from them.

So the hot skills under the IT sector include;


Programming: Your ability to write codes using various programming languages like Python, C#, Java and a host of them to create wonderful exciting pieces of stuff like websites and computer software. This is one of the leading IT skills in 2017 because of its complexity, thereby creating a huge gap in the supply level of programmers. Once you acquire this skill, you can either work as a tutor or get picked up by a top level firm.
Graphics Design: Your ability to create exciting designs will easily help you locate jobs in so many firms. Most firms are no longer willing to outsource this service out, making them employ graphics designers in numbers. Having this skill can either allow you work from home, work as a tutor in an IT school or work for an organization that needs your services.
Digital Marketing: The competition among firms has forced them to take most of their marketing campaigns online. Due to this new development, they are being forced to hire digital Marketers who will lead them through this campaign. Having this skill as a Job seeker guarantees you a job no doubt. Even without guarantee, your chances of getting something doing are on the high side.
Other Notable IT skills include;

Computer Engineering
Website Design/Development


2) Marketing Skills
Due to the competition for a larger customer base, it has made the marketing job to be ranked among the top 5 skills in Nigeria right now in th job market.
NOTE: I won’t advise you to work as a marketing slave to some firms.
According to research, about 40% of daily job adverts has something to do with marketing. Getting this skill is something you would really love to have as an ace in your chambers. Your ability to show the recruiter that you can sell, and bring businesses to the company is a really something that most firms need now. It also opens up your chances of getting that job. The opinion that marketers work only on a commission basis is totally false. Marketing executives and Business Development officers earn cool and super amounts depending on your ability.


3) Communication/Presentation skills
This is among the top 5 skills that can earn you a job. You must be someone who is outspoken and can be able to deliver messages precisely and clearly. A lot of consultancies, broadcasting, and advertising firms are on the lookout for people with such abilities. You can either write a detailed letter of introduction about yourself and what you can do, forward it to broadcasting houses and other related firms. Make sure your press them for feedback and most importantly, don’t ever give up.

4) Writing/Editing and Proofreading Skills
Due to the increase of blog and websites, a lot of firms are employing those who can create super contents for them on daily basis. Even most of us with full-time jobs are taking up such jobs as a side hustle. I believe that once you possess this skill, you can be able to gain employment for yourself with ease. For every blog and website you see, there is a content creator for them all. All you need do is to write a sales pitch to the owner of the site and wait for feedback.

5) Customer service skills
If you can show a firm that you can help convert leads to customers, convert buying customers to long-term customers, then there are jobs waiting for you to possess. This difference between this skill and others is that you must have a certificate to back up your claims.
There are lots of firms that offer certification training for customer service jobs, but only a few are genuine. You can do well to make an overall research about them and choose the one that is best for you.

Remember, to have a skill you wish to build your career into; or the ones that can be combined in other to complement each other.

Nairaland GeneralOmo Wobe Re Oo!!! Photos Of Three Youg Lady Who Detained & Gang-molest A Pastor by NaijaDays(op): 9:53am On Jul 26, 2017
For purportedly confining and attacking a Pastor who came to request the cash one of them was owing him, 3 ladies who posse assaulted this Pastor from a nearby church in Cowdray Park suburb in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, have been summoned before Western Commonage officer Mr Lungile Ncube, and accused of disturbed revolting strike.



It was gathered that Sandra Ncube (21), Riamuhetsi Mlauzi (23) and Mongiwe Mpofu (25) who reside at the same house in Cowdray Park suburb, led the victim into the house before Ncube held him by the waist and fondled his private part.


Here’s what Prosecutor Petros Shoko said;
“On July 14, 2017, at around 7PM, the complainant went to the three accused persons’ residence to collect his money from Riamuhetsi Mlauzi, which she owed him,” said the prosecutor.

“They forced him to lie on the bed and undressed him. Ncube sat on his chest and he tried to push her away. However, Mlauzi, who was in the same room, held his legs together and sat on top, pressing him against the bed,” said Mr Shoko.
Mpofu, who was in another room, allegedly brought condoms and placed one on the complainant’s manhood. She then allegedly assisted to hold the complainant down as he was resisting.

“Ncube had sexual intercourse with the complainant once, without his consent,” said Mr Shoko.
However the suspects denied molesting the victim as they claimed they were only playing around, though they admitted indecently assaulting him.

“We were just playing around Your Worship. I did not think that he would take it seriously,” said Ncube.
Mpofu distanced herself from the incident and said she had only been called to bring condoms.

“I was not part of it. They just called me to bring condoms. We keep condoms around the house and there were some in my room, so I just brought them,” said Mpofu.
Mlauzi said she wanted to “fix” the pastor, whom she accused of having a tendency of walking in on her when she was bathing.

Mlauzi said: “He always walks in on me bathing and claims to be unmoved as a man of God. I just wanted to see if he was going to be aroused or not. I did not plan to execute the whole rape thing, Your Worship.”
The Chronicle reports that Magistrate Ncube asked Mlauzi what she aimed to benefit from the attack, and she said she just wanted to prove to the pastor that he had feelings like everybody else.

“I wanted him to see that he was not special and was not immune to sexual arousal. When I touched him, he immediately got aroused. And that is all we wanted to see,” she said.
The matter was reported at Cowdray Park Police Station and the complainant was referred to Mpilo Central Hospital for a medical examination. A medical report was produced in court as evidence.

Health6 Reasons You Should Change Your Pillow by NaijaDays(op): 6:52pm On Jul 23, 2017
This just in from the bedroom: Your pillow is sad. It has realized it’s an afterthought.
You spent 87 hours choosing what mattress to buy and you’re still talking about whether you should try a newer, cooler-to-the-touch, more memory-foamy mattress instead. Your girlfriend tells you how much she loves your comforter. Meanwhile, your pillow has been through four apartments, three relationships, and one cat. It gets no attention. Until you wake up with a stiff neck.
Maybe it’s because pillow shopping is baffling, or because pillows are small enough to follow us through multiple moves, but most of us hang on to pillows far longer than we should. You know the pillows we’re talking about. You don’t even want to look under the pillowcases anymore because of those brown-edged drool stains, and the visible lumps in the stuffing.
But there are more than enough reasons to stop procrastinating and actually drop the change on some new ones. Here are the ways your current pillow might be making your zzz time just a little bit depressing, plus a few tips on what to do to bring happiness back to the head of the bed.


It might be giving you acne
The worst kind of acne is the kind caused by pressing your face into dirty things. Because this is acne you could have avoided. It's not coming from inside you. You can get it from your phone, or even your football helmet. But the usual suspect is your pillow and especially your pillowcase. It collects dirt, oil, and dead skin. Yesterday's sunscreen. A fair amount of drool. You might not need to completely replace your sleep gear, however. Try cleaning it. Experts recommend laundering your pillowcase multiple times a week—but unless you live in a hotel, chances are this isn't happening. If you're not prone to breakouts, maybe you can ignore this and read on. But if you're waking up with zits, now you know.
It's a buffet for dust mites
All that grime we just mentioned—the oils, the dead skin? For dust mites, it's lunch. These tiny, eight-legged arthropods are too small to see with the naked eye, and they feed on the flakes of human skin we shed each day. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, we each shed enough skin on a daily basis to feed 1 million dust mites. And did we mention they're thought to be the most common trigger of year-round allergies and asthma? To keep them from burrowing in your pillow, use a zippered allergen-resistant pillow protector to keep them out. (And remember to wash it at least once a month.)
You don't even know its care instructions
And really, who does? It's a pillow. But it's an important thing to think about. Now, we've talked about cleaning the pillowcase, and the pillow protector. But what about the actual pillow? If you're like most people, you probably don't even know if your pillow can go in the washer. Rule of thumb: If it's synthetic, yes; if it's down, then you dry clean. According to the National Sleep Foundation, pillows protected by an anti-allergy cover should still be washed every six months. Read the care directions, and do an extra rinse cycle to make sure you've gotten all the detergent out of it. Really don't have time? Put your pillow in the dryer on low for half an hour to freshen it up.
It can't hold your head up anymore
Here's the catch: When you wash your pillow, it eventually breaks down all the fluffy support inside. Foam or batting can get lumpy. Down and down alternatives can just ... go flat. The National Sleep Foundation suggests a test that will prove if your pillow is shot: Fold it in half. Now let go. If it stays folded, it's time to send your pillow packing.
It's way, way past its date
Even before your pillow is flat enough to fold, it has expired. Basically, as soon as it's embarrassing, not filling a pillowcase, or your nighttime visitors don't want to sleep over, it's time. But the exact timeline is debatable. Some experts say every three years. Others say replacing your pillow once a year is a must. We say, as soon as you're wondering if you should replace it, the answer is yes.
It could be so much better
And, really, think about how much better life could be. Pillow tech has improved. Today there are even pillows that can gently wake you up in the morning. Know the basics, and know your options. Natural fabrics breathe better, and transfer less oil, but mix in a few high-tech materials and the pillow will conform to your sleep habits. Some of our current favorites: Casper's 100 percent cotton cover encases a fill engineered to resist clumping ($55).
Tempur-Pedic tailors its pillows to your sleeping position, like one for side sleepers that contains gel to keep it cool (Tempur-Contour Breeze Side-to-Side Pillow, $149). The team at Coop Home Goods created a pillow that you can adjust by removing or adding the shredded memory foam stuffing for just the right level of fluff (Standard Original Pillow, $50)

Health9 Things That Make Mosquitoes Bite You More by NaijaDays(op): 9:45am On Jul 23, 2017
Mosquitoes choose their prey — you, perhaps — based on a combination of factors.

But there's good news: Some things that might make you attractive to mosquitoes you can actually change. Scientific research has found evidence supporting several factors that encourage the insects to seek you out.





These studies often involve different kinds of mosquitoes, however, so the things that attract them to you may vary depending on which species live nearby. And many of these studies are small, so keep in mind that these are preliminary hypotheses, not ironclad conclusions.



Mosquitoes are known to transmit deadly diseases like Zika, malaria, yellow fever, dengue, Chikungunya, and West Nile virus. So even though the traits that attract the bugs aren't fully understood, it's wise to try to reduce your allure as much as you can. Here are some factors that scientists have found might make you irresistible to the pests:

Nairaland General60 Photos That Will Never Make Sense To You No Matter How Hard You Look At Them by NaijaDays(op): 9:23am On Jul 23, 2017

TV/MoviesThis Strange Scene From The 'game Of Thrones' Premiere May Have Confirmed A Theo by NaijaDays(op): 12:01am On Jul 23, 2017
The mysteries of the White Walkers are becoming more clear.Helen Sloan/HBO
Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Game of Thrones" season seven.
In our weekly roundup of small details you may have missed, we noted the mysterious vision Bran had of the Night King and his army. The scene showed a bleak cloud making its way across the land. And in the center of the storm was the Night King, White Walkers, and thousands of wights.
While it's hard to tell exactly where the storm was taking place, one detail seemed confirmed: The Night King was causing the storm.
In the books, Sam Tarly and other characters try to determine an important question - do the White Walkers (or Others) appear when it's cold, or does it get cold when they appear?


Here's how Sam worded it in George R.R. Martin's books: "The Others come when it is cold, most of the tales agree. Or else it gets cold when they come. Sometimes they appear during snowstorms and melt away when the skies clear. They hide from the light of the sun and emerge by night ... or else night falls when they emerge."

The storm on the season seven premiere.HBO
Also in the books, Craster's wives (the group of Wildlings who live in a cabin beyond the wall) refer to this phenomenon as the "white cold."
Now, however, the show seems to have given confirmation that the White Walkers are bringing cold with them, not just conveniently showing up when it happens to get cold outside.
We saw hints of this on the "Hardhome" episode from season five, as well. When a White Walker entered a burning hut, he walked right through the flames. The fire seemed to cool to his presence, almost as if he were a walking fire extinguisher.

A similar effect happened on the season six episode, "Home," when the Night King attacked Bran, Meera, Hodor, and the Three-Eyed Raven. The Night King and his ice cronies walked right through the line of fire that was holding back the wights.
But most of all, Jon Snow already said it best on the season six finale: "The true enemy won't wait out the storm. He brings the storm."
"Game of Thrones" season seven continues on Sunday at 9 p.m. with "Stormborn
