Education / Re: Photos From FUTO Convocation As Okorocha Bags Doctorate Degree by Nature129(m): 3:45am On Dec 06, 2015 |
OP, go and check well...what FUTO must have given him was Honorary Degree not Doctorate Degree. For someone to be given PhD in FUTO means he made a CGP of at least 4.00 or 60% in M.Sc programme from FUTO or a university recognised by FUTO senate, n must have spent about 3 years or more doing PhD programme at FUTO. Honorary Degrees are given to members of the society in appreciation of their immense contribution to the society. FUTO is not a university that jokes with her degrees....it is also my alma mater. http://www.nigeriannewspapers.today/okorocha-tukur-chukwumerije-bag-futo-honorary-degrees/ |

Health / Re: HIV/AIDS: Ondo Enforces Condoms In Hotels by Nature129(m): 10:37am On Dec 03, 2015 |
You can take a camel to the stream but you can't force it to drink some water. I have noticed over time that more girls prefer sex without protection than guys. Yes, they often complain they have pains on their vaginal walls after use; hence they prefer "without." Having said this, guys must learn to take charge of their lives, sex life and health by insisting on condoms. As a guy, you don't have a business dating a girl and having unprotected sex if you don't want to marry her. If you meet a girl who says no condoms, please control yourself and walk away. Yes, I have done it many times and you can do it as well. "Do not allow 1 hour of fun cost you your life happiness and make you live a life of regrets." And for the ladies, they should understand they are more prone to this virus because of the surface area of your sex organ. If you have a challenge with condoms on your vagina, take control of your life and stop all "risky behaviours" until you are married. If you cannot control your urge, ensure you and your partner get tested and are HIV-free. Let us help to reduce the prevalence of HIV in our country by educating people around us. AIDS is real and abstinence is the best solution! 1 Like |

obailala: You can rant all you want and still miss the point. When GEJ was president the listenership of Radio Biafra was increasing on daily basis. All Buhari would have done was to ignore them just like GEJ did. Have you asked yourself why many Igbos call Nigeria zoo and the history of the name? Please don't jump to conclusions; ask questions. If NBC and DSS had ignored these people like in the time of GEJ, they would have grown tired of ranting, but no...they wanted to prove that they were working by jaming the signals of Radio Biafra and arresting Nnamdi Kanu respectively. The arrest, detention and prosecution of Kanu fuelled the violence which was before now mere radio and social media rants with no visible action. If Kanu is released, I am certain this whole thing will end, but I am sure Buhari will NOT want to release him because he promised before election that he would not mind repeating the events of 1967. When the gods want to kill a man, they first make him deaf and later mad. 1 Like |

Phones / Re: Blackberry Brings BBM Mobile Payments To Nigeria by Nature129(m): 2:02pm On Dec 01, 2015 |
djWALE: Ok. But I think BBM is more advanced. This is because it can do all Whatsapp can do and more like: 1. Ability to display frnds songs as they play them so that you can ask them to share d ones you like 2. In addition to groups, it also has a channel. 3. BBM pix does not "process" or "load" as in Whatsapp. Yea, it shows in split seconds. 4. For people like me who don't joke with smiley, Whatsapp smiley I just another bullshit...BBM smiley is like that of 2go, they have sensible meanings. 5. On BBM your consent is needed before you accept people's requests, but on Whatsapp every Tom, Dick and Harry who gets your Number can start stalking your updates and pictures, and even start sending you messages which may be annoying. Hence no privacy. 6. You can PING someone to get them to reply your message when its urgent and you don't have airtime. Now tell me how Whatsapp is any where better than BBM 1 Like |

Abagwor0: Sorry, I noticed something. You hardly comment (whether good or bad) without mentioning Anambra, thereby giving Anambra guys the impression that that we are competing which is unacceptable. Please just stop inviting Anambra guys to this thread unnecessarily. Chino has warned you several times, but you keep behaving like a baby. Make your point without mentioning Anambra, pls. We are educated and know when we see an ideal condition. Anambra is not the only state in Nigeria and mind you, there are very stinking and horrible looking places in Anambra and even Lagos. And as for Okorocha, I think his political career is over. Why many people voted for him was that Ihedioha was never an option because him and PDP have collectively ruined and caged Imo State for years. Imo political leaders are very heartless people...

Jobs/Vacancies / How To Make Money Online By Writing For Infoguidenigeria.com: My Experience by Nature129(m): 3:53pm On Oct 29, 2015 |
Hello there! I want to start this piece on how to make money online by writing for infoguidenigeria.com: My Experience by properly introducing myself. My name is xxxxxxx xxxxxx (or the guy who goes by the moniker, Nature129) – yes, I am just like a regular guy who comes on this platform to share his opinion on issues and scout for openings so to expand my financial horizons. Well, I always visit the social media in search of opportunities because I strongly believe that all opportunities have gone digital. It is not uncommon to see Nairalanders shout at the top of their voices when they get jobs online. That fuelled my Internet addiction! Okay, being computer literate and ambitious young man who strongly believes in the untapped potentials on the Internet, I felt Nairaland.com had so much to offer. So, I signed up. I kept looking for opportunities until I met Mr. Roberts Ifiokobong. Yes, that was the encounter that would keep me away from scouting for writing opportunities for a long time as well as make me write this piece on how to make money online by writing for infoguidenigeria.com: My Experience I saw his advert on Nairaland.com seeking competent writers who were very skillful and had good command of English. Well, I was not so sure about the former, but as someone who had gone to school I felt I was good with the latter – so, I gave it a try. The arrangement was that I would be tested and if I passed the test, I would join his company. After the trial, I was able to convince him that I had somewhat good command of English, though I can’t say I was literary skillful. Alas, I got the job! The initial agreement was that I would write 3 articles daily and get paid on my terms – weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. He made it clearer that weekly pay was N5000, bi-weekly was N10,000 while that of monthly was N20,000. I quickly settled for bi-weekly because it was my preferred choice. On second thoughts, I figured that a guy who works in Lagos from 8am to 5pm might not have time to write 3 articles daily. Not wanting to disappoint him, I sent him a regret email prompting him of my desire to walk away – citing the reason above. Secondly, I asked Mr. Ifiokobong to pay N15,000 monthly for an article daily which amounts to N7500 at bi-weekly work schedule. Initially, he didn’t like the idea and replied saying “The package will be difficult for the company to maintain, and that they have a plan as explained above.” Well, that was how everything ended. But after some two weeks I was flabbergasted to receive his email, and I had quickly opened his email on my BlackBerry phone in anxiety to read the content. Surprisingly, he said if I was still interested that I should indicate, and that he would accept my terms. I was like, “Is this really happening?” I replied immediately to inform him that I was very much interested and showed my profound gratitude to him for accepting my terms. A few days later, I accepted to be writing 2 articles on Weekends alone in appreciation. Hope you are enjoying this piece on how to make money online by writing for infoguidenigeria.com: My Experience. I will continue shortly. So, I quickly got to work. But at this point, I had a hurdle to surmount: trusting a Nigerian I had never seen. Yes, trust was always going to be an issue. This had bothered me for awhile and I felt I should share it with some friends. Not surprised, the responses I got from my friends were so discouraging. But I never got deterred. Then I thought to myself, “If he refuses to pay me for the work I have done for him, I would not be surprised.” In fact, I would even be surprised if he pays for them because we know how an average Nigerian would always like to swindle the next man and tag him ”mugu.” In a bid to build my courage and confidence, I told myself “If he refuses to pay you, he has only stolen a few out of millions of works your brain will produce.” Armed with that, I was convinced I was going to do the work - no going back! Apparently, in the quest to show his sincerity, Mr. Ifiokobong asked me not to hesitate to inform him when my pay was due so that my account would be credited at once. In disbelief, I had smiled when I heard those words from him. I had always expected that the whole writing thing would end whenever we got at that stage. When my first pay was due, I was so surprised to get a credit alert of N7,500 from First Bank. Well, I was so dumb-founded, overwhelmed, and melodramatic at intervals. It came to me as a huge shocker - like that time the world expects nothing good to come out of you and you proved them wrong suddenly. Well, I sang and danced in triumph. Yes, remember my friends dissuaded me from embarking on the futile and deceptive venture. After a while, I regained my composure. I had quickly put a call to him in excitement. Yes, I thanked him so much and I remember ending the call with, “God bless you, sir.” That singular act made me so proud of him! Lest I derail which many readers will accuse me of having done already, this piece is on how to make money online by writing for infoguidenigeria.com: My Experience. Well, for a job where people can propose to pay you 10,000 for 50 articles, Mr. Ifiokobong who pays N500 for an article deserves commendation, and if you ask me an applause! *Smiles* The story did not just end there, Mr. Ifiokobong took his time to explain to me things I never knew about writing like SEO, Google AdSense, blogging, web robots, etc. to learn and do a better job which I would still get paid for. To save time, I have learnt some things by writing for infoguidenigeria.com. I will try to summarise it in this paragraph. Firstly, never stop taking risks. You know, if I had listened to my friends, I would have missed this opportunity. Secondly, never assume that ALL Nigerians are dishonest. Yes, at least I know Mr. Ifiokobong is unique and honours all agreements reached with his freelance writers. Thirdly, money is not everything. Writing for infoguidenigeria.com has made me read things about Nigeria, schools, banks, health, celebrities, the Internet and other subjects that I would not ordinarily read. Now I can say I am grounded in many subjects I have discussed on infoguidenigeria.com. Finally, Mr. Ifiokobong is flexible and easy to work with. Yes, he accepted my terms by bending the rules of the company, and will also accept yours if you are a good writer. So, I invite all of you to join the family as openings still exist for interested and qualified writers to be part of this testimony. It is not enough to assume that journalists are paid lots of money and swear never to do smaller jobs. Like I pointed out earlier, "money is not everything." Commercialize your skill. If you go thinking about the monetary aspect, it is not enough – think also of the learning aspect too. It is not enough to read this piece on how to make money online by writing for infoguidenigeria.com: My Experience and not make a move. To make money online by writing for infoguidenigeria.com, you must be literary skilled, have good command of English, have a computer system or mobile device with Internet access, a functional email address, a bank account and other things.

OP, you've tried but I need to add a few things. A. Ending with "Yours faithfully" or "Yours sincerely" depends on the opener. For example, you say "Yours faithfully" when you don't know the recipient's name (eg, Dear Sir/Ma, Dear Human Resource Manager, etc). Also, you use "Yours sincerely" when it is addressed to a known person in the company (eg, Dear Mr. Kunle, Dear Miss Ebele, etc) B. I noticed that the conclusion is placed on the left and not right as you've shown. My source is Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary. Check the hard middle page to see where they taught how to write CV, cover letters, proposal, etc. Thanks 37 Likes 3 Shares |

I have no idea where you got this concept from, but I think it's trashy! Now, what is the essence doing industrial attachment if not for practical industrial skills? Well, I don't subscribe to this idea at all. Some parents sold their lands to send their children to school, and after graduating instead of these graduates appreciating their parents for their efforts, you are here suggesting they should still pay again to acquire knowledge in the industry. And where will the money come from? This is BAD idea. For me, our schools have failed us. They ought to start teaching us how to be self employed, right from the day we got admission, and how to generate capital for biz after school and not saying if you don't make upper credit or first class you are finished. Please don't corrupt the minds of CEOs on this platform with this stupid idea so that they are not compelled to slash the salaries of their workers. |
