Embattled 4th republic senator, Dino Melaye took time out to have lunch with his parents and two sons.

He shared this on his instagram account:

"Sunday lunch with grand pa &ma and my adorable sons"

How is he embattled?

sarrki:
Are we really fighting corruption?

Only God can redeem this country

All the threes tiers of government are not serious

I weep for Nigerian massese

What about PMB?

The young man is just 24 years old. He has had problems in the National team as regards the captaincy and also has problems with the new manager of Leicester City. He needs a break.

And this qualified for front page of Nairaland? The most visited website in Nigeria? Tomorrow we would blame politicians for out problems.

Fearless #Biafran mothers from Igweocha, Itshekeri, Igala, Igbanke, Igbo , Ikwerre, Efik, Ibibio, Ijaw and other parts of BiafraLand gallantly stormed FEDERAL HIGH COURT Abuja (FHC) 6/4/2017 with Biafra flag riased up

I have nothing against Biafra but we should always be truthful. Biafra is about Iboland! Do not force the people from the South-South into your battle

FitnessDoctor:
The deal about these ladies is that they are so soft everywhere when you touch them

Speaking from experience?

I wonder if it takes bravery and courage to commit suicide or it's just a show of cowardice

marvelling:
well i know someone who chose unemployment, after being offered a 60K job, under the guise of going a MSc programme!

Going?

Then the person chose an Msc (not unemployment) over a N60k job

bababodmas:
guys... a friend needs to decide on a 60k job. he would spend nothing less than 500 or slightly higher daily on transport expenses and maybe food too..... there is no way to get side change from elsewhere oooo...just the 60k... but there's enough learning experience for him.
mods please take this to the right space abeg.
thanks

What is there to decide? Choosing between N60k a month job or unemployment? Is that a tough choice?

IpobExposed:
Mynd44 ban this guy for talking about gambling while we are talking about death.

Aunty is very bad for u to die. These were caused because of quack doctors in Nigeria.

And am assuring your soul that sai baba will fix the Nigerian hospitals

Sai Baba

Quack doctors that made the President seek medical attention in the UK?

Not sure if you are being sarcastic.

sketcherJ:
Having a good gpa is a dream of every students, but in most cases, this doesn't work out,

Disclaimer : this post is not written to incite students against having good grades, nor is it to undermine a good gpa,encourage laziness or promote mediocrity

But this post is written to encourage students who are currently managing a low gpa or have graduated with a low gpa, it is not the end of the world, to everything there are advantages and disadvantages..

These are the unknown advantages that are attached with getting a low gpa

Note that If you are planning to go to professional school, graduate school, working in academia, or a large corporation, this write up might not be for you because if you don't have a solid GPA, it is going to be next to impossible to overcompensate with your side activities or even internships when applying to these positions, as big businesses are bureaucratic and conservative, while academia really does require excellence in your subjects.

Furthermore, this write up is also based on the fact that you were combining your education with other life benefiting activities while in school ,building your social skills etc and since a good cgpa requires time optimization and 99% of your time, it is justifiable that you get a low gpa

Of course you won't be able to sit for dream companies/placements , apply to top colleges etc etc.
But if you really care, there are lot of things that are achievable without a GPA.
They are:

1 allows you to pursue your passion: having a low gpa gives you chance to think about your other unannexed talents like singing, dancing designing etc..it gives you chance to pursue your passion and who knows? That might just be your purpose in life, we have a lot of world class entertainers in the world today who dropped their school degree to follow their passion and now they are glad they had done nothing else.


2)you have more time to improve your skills: you have more time to improve your skills, more time to learn new skills,like programming, graphics designing etc which might be a huge plus for you because these days a lot of employers don’t ask about your GPA anymore. They are more interested in whether you have relevant work experience so that you can transition seamlessly in the job position. If you have a low GPA I recommend doing multiple internships to gain more hands-on experience in the corporate world.

3 encourages new startups and entrepreneurships: major entrepreneurs leading in the industry today were once dropouts or graduated with a low cgpa, but they didn't let this hitch put them down, they created new businesses, new startups that have generated into multimillionaire companies where first class students even applied for employment into.

A high GPA Doesn’t Mean You’ll Be Good At Your Job - having a high GPA means you are good at digesting textbook knowledge. Textbook knowledge is completely different from a real life work environment. You can be great at studying and get a high GPA but lack the social skills to thrive in a work environment. And as it has been stated before, some employers don't even require your GPA anymore, what they want to know is the skills you have learned that could be of benefit to the company..
If you're planning on working in an industry that focuses more on creativity or is less conservative, GPA doesn't matter nearly as much. In fact, it's even less important than what you do on the side. i.e, if you're a photographer and you can take fantastic photos and use relevant computer software well, that's all you really need. If you're a software developer and you have a rock solid Github account with impressive, impactful apps, then you're golden even without a good GPA.

1 allows you to pursue your passion: having a low gpa gives you chance to think about your other unannexed talents like singing, dancing designing etc..............So you need a low GPA to pursue your passion? Really?



3 encourages new startups and entrepreneurships: major entrepreneurs leading in the industry today were once dropouts or graduated with a low cgpa,......So you need a low GPA to create a start-up or become an entrepreneur? Really?

My boyfriend has graduated for over two years now with nothing to show for it. It's really affecting us because most of the time he is down and I don't really like seeing him in such conditions. I know many people have given testimonies through this platform and I will also love to give mine. He graduated with a second class upper division from university of Ibadan. I am ready to reply dms concerning this course.thank you all

A man without legs is making money but you are begging people to help your boyfriend who has a 2.1 from UI to get a job?

Just wait!!

informant001:
Rather than resort to begging or depending on others for his survival, this physically challenged man works as an ice cream seller at Fan Milk despite not having his two legs. According to an online report, the man discharges his work with happiness and is well known in his area due to his hard work.

http://www.nationalhelm.net/2017/04/inspiring-see-what-this-man-without-two.html

He won't jump in the lagoon nor come to Nairaland and threaten to commit suicide if he doesn't get a job.

His girlfriend won't come to Nairaland to beg people to give him a job!

Keep it up!

kingzizzy:
I dont recognise anything called 'South/South' and neither does the constitution of Nigeria. What I recognise are tribes such as Ijaw, Efik, Ogoja, Ibibio, Bini etc.

So, if you mention the tribe, I will tell you if I have any evidence that they are interested in Biafra or not

Ok. Mention leaders of Ijaw, Efik, Ogoja, Ibibio, Bini etc. who are pro-Biafra. I give you the freedom to go back into the 1960s and earlier

kingzizzy:
People of the south/south? You mean Ibibio, Efik, Ogoni, Legbo, Ijaw all authorised you to speak to speak for them? You are only allowed to speak for ethnic group, do not speak for others.

No one authorised me, and no one authorised you!!

If you can show me any evidence that the people.of the South-South are pro-Biafra then I would agree with you.

kingzizzy:
These threads with some tribes saying "remove us from Biafran map"


When they put you people in 'Nigerian Map', what did you do?

Nigeria exist! Despite all her problems, Nigeria has existed since 1914.

Biafra does not exist! Biafra briefly existed (for less than 3 years) but the people of the South South have no plans to be part of its resurgence.

Mashido:
A U.S. Air Force dog identified as Jony, serving with the 20th Security Forces Squadron, has retired after nine years (or 68 dog years) of distinguished service, the U.S. Department of Defence has said.


Pentagon, in a statement, said Jony retired due to a compressed disc in his spine, and has been permanently put in the hands of its handler, Air Force Staff Sergeant Anthony Despins, a military working dog handler, who met Jony as his first canine partner in 2012.

Still trying to understand how the death of a US Air Force dog is a relevant story on Nairaland.

The General that sold Nigerian Generals out by crying

Are you the person who always shouts omoluabi , Ogun State, and South West?

So this quiz doesn't have an answer?

exotiqueify:
Love your grammar, semantics and above all reasoning ability...Kudos

Thank you !

Some people who are unemployed survive without income so why not?

Some security men in Abuja earn N40k per month and survive. Abuja has lots of very very junior civil servants and construction workers who survive on that.

My Samsung Galaxy S5 had a fingerprint sensor. That's a 2014 smartphone.



I think this thread is very ridiculous...seeing the rate at which people mention Infinix hot X521, a 2016 brand.


I'm even more disappointed at the mods for allowing this ridiculous thread on the front-page.

If you look at my 1st comment on this thread you would see that even Toshiba had a phone with finger print sensor as far back as 2007.

Apple and then Samsung later added the feature

lilmisspenney:
well the page did not come from space, humans wrote it too...

Your point is noted.

If you provide a source that is more authentic than Wikipedia then I would accept that the page I quoted may not meet your level of authenticity.

Ceema1:
IPOD zombie. Na ur people just dey kill dem selves since Buhari came back. U can also jump in to lagoon like ur folks. Thank u.

Why do some people get very tribalistic over very simple post that should naturally make all Nigerians happy?

lilmisspenney:
how authentic is this?

How authentic? I posted a page from Wikipedia. Unless we doubt the authenticity of Wikipedia

Toshiba?

iPhone 5s had it in 2013
Samsung S5 in 2014

I believe the Lagos State Govt has an agency that takes care of children in situations like this.
