₦airaland Forum

I got an sms that I'd been migrated to the SuperSaver+ plan earlier today. So far, I must say I've been impressed by the somewhat cheap call rates it offers. Unless they "codedly" tweak the tariff later in the day ( as per their INVISIBLE Terms and Conditions ), I'm loving the Supersaver+ right now. If my reading is correct, one's first call FOR THE DAY is charged @ 42 Kobo per second and subsequent calls to ALL NETWORKS is charged at 10 Kobo per second! Its unlike MTN to really crash their call rates especially to off-net calls but the reverse is what I'm seeing. With as little as 100 Naira airtime on your phone, you could speak to peeps for 10 minutes ! I'm one of MTN's worst critics but I gats to say thumbs up to them for this one ! If only they could follow up with better voice clarity and fewer dropped calls. I haven't used any other network before so I don't know how they compare by way of low tarrif so maybe my being impressed is misplaced, somebody ?

the_ripper3: I no know why all dis Aluta buses and comarado fleet too dey get accident. Even during my university days, same thing. May dey RIP

You are right. During my school days also. More than once, I could also remember reading reports of Student Union vehicle accidents even when I was out of school.

May their Souls R.I.P.

Nairalanders please proceed to twitter #somebodytellkenya and consummate the victory there ! THE LAND ( and COLOUR ) IS GREEN ! 9ja FOR LIFE !

naptu2: Wow! So many self-righteous judges.

My guy, that's Nairaland for you O ! Its so sad ! 90% of them are hypocritical armchair critics who fire flaks and take pot-shots at people from their laptops and mobile phones. They take delight in reading about the misfortune(s) of others and spit on the less fortunate. Just desserts dey wait for all of them.

enyi1: How did you know the list is concluded or has your inside man failed you? How did you also know the desired number? Who is feeding you all these information, sir?

Sir, am not about to divulge privileged info on cyberspace. We all know about the high-level jostling for jobs, contracts etc in Abuja. In my post, I cited a friend of mine who partook in the TAC thing. I followed his process. From getting the invite letter in Abuja (without even applying) to Abeokuta for the interview and how it is ending in Abuja now. That's all I can say.

I posted the above harmlessly without meaning to offend. The intention was to draw attention to the "who-know-man" syndrome in getting employment into choice parastatals and departments in Nigeria. The competition is cut-throat when just a small number is needed. I also wanted peeps to slow down on focusing too much on the strenght of their performance at the interview in Abeokuta to bag a TAC slot. That said, I guess I sounded like a wet blanket with that post. HOPE keeps us Nigerians going and on no account should anybody try to douse the fire of HOPE even with the truth !

So, PLEASE, you guys should disregard my post. Make una no vex, abeg !

avicky: Yes oh! U're ranting. And also a spoiler like u said.
Is it a bad thing for someone to apply for a job, shortlisted for interview and is waiting for d final list to be out?
Evry one has other things and plans that they are doing. And if this one comes out fine and good.
Is it a crime to hope and have faith?
Pls leave us alone. We don't need ur info. Omo Prof Viola, ose gan.

Btw... Where are my people? Confessor, kuljay, Itiav, Igheya. I can see Eny1. Welcome on board.


It shows sth good is around d corner.

Ok Ma ! No vex.

avicky: @ nu-attitude... U're d same badesco who came ranting on this thread. U have used d right word 'hopefuls', that we are. It is not a do or die affair. We are waiting for d list whether our names are dere or not, it will be published one day.
And d last time I checked, Amb Gbenga Ashiru is d Foreign Affairs minister while Onwuliri is Min of State, so I see no reason why she shud be d deciding factor.
Anyways, we don't need ur info. When d list is out, we'll know our fate.

I came "RANTING" on this thread ? I ranted ?

It's Ok Ma, no vex.

itiav: Like your ID Suggest,it is said that ''the test of a pudding is in it's eating''

Your attitude is naughty and such is not condone here on this thread.
Please take your search else where.

Ok sir. No vex.

By the way the ID is "Nu-attitude" as in NEW ATTITUDE. Where did you see " naughty " ?

To all the TAC hopefuls,I hate to sound like a spoiler but I beseech you guys not to wait with bated breaths for the TAC thing. IT IS ALL BUT OVER ! The list has been settled in the office of Viola Onwuliri. Since they need just 160 or so candidates, you can imagine that its ONLY the applicants that have "connections" in government made the list. I have a friend whose name is on the list. The guy didn't even apply for the job in the first place but got the invite for the test at Abeokuta. Recall that when the test was conducted, different professions were slated for different days. It stated on the schedule that it was to end on a Friday. However, if you noticed, no profession was actually scheduled for FRIDAY. That Friday was like a special day created for those " connected" few, many of whom didn't even apply but got invitation letters directly from government officials. Guys, I am walking you through this narrative so you can best appreciate how things stand. You can herefrom decide whether to keep hopes eternal or slacken a bit so as to engage your optimistic minds unto other pursuits. If you are hinging your hope on God helping you, all well and good. He works in mysterious ways and can always spring surprises. Your name can just materialize out of the blues into that list. The only thing is that God is also using some big government official to assist those connected few in Abuja. Who stands the better chance ? You get my drift ? So folks, there you are. The final list has been compiled and it is filled with ONLY the candidates of top government functionaries according to the discretion of the Minister. Please take my word for it.

Very sad. To those doubting this story, I tell you that these things happen. I have a similar story. Three years ago, a long-time friend of mine caught his wife in their matrimonial bed with their neighbour, a married man. He sent the woman packing. However, he never recovered from the shock. He stopped going to work and became a partial and eventually a total recluse. He would lock himself in the house all day and refuse to answer calls or socialise with friends. A week or so after the incident, he took ill and was admitted to hospital. One day, he just didn't wake up. He died in his sleep in hospital. Everything happened in less than THREE weeks ! Although he didn't commit suicide, we, his friends, could safely say that incident killed him. His story still gives me the shakes till this day when I hear similar tales.

PortHarcourtBoy: Kano Pillars...because all of them na Boko boys

LAME !

yomola: I dont understand what you mean?

Lol,take it easy bro. " NO RESPECT " was the catch-phrase of the Shark called 'Jabber' in the Cartoon series ,'JABBER JAW'. It always hollered : "NO RESPECT !" whenever it bungled a caper. Meaning that his guys didn't respect him / it. Shey you 'overstand' wetin the guy mean now ?

dexmond: Pls ignore Maclatunji, he is lying. Ask him what happened to Bint Marwan who criticized Muhammed, the woman a mother of was killed in the most brutal manner. Ask him what the offence of Abu Afak was before the "holy" prophet ordered his assassination. You can lie to those who do not know the hadiths.

Interesting character this Prophet Mohammed ( PBUH ) fellow. I think he had Multiple ( dual ) Personality syndrome ( some may say disorder). He was by no means a totally peaceful man. The Hadiths are replete with many attrocities which, in present day, would make him stand trial for crimes against humanity. On the other hand however, the Quran also showed plenty instances where he exhibited a forgiving and magnanimous personality. It all depends on the prism through which you wanted to view him. The guy na all-weather. On the issue of homes being burnt by Pakistanis, Prophet Mohammed ( PBUH ) I think set the precedent for Muslims to go after those that insult Islam. The Hadiths gave instances where the prophet's antagonists who wrote poems against him were ordered to be killed. The manner of some of those executions would have wowed even HANNIBAL LECTER. The worrisome aspect to this is how it relates to Nigeria. This scenario isn't alien to us : Some mischief-maker thousands of Kilometers away "insults" Islam and a Muslim Cleric in one of our Northern states incites the faithful to protest after Jummat prayer. Before you know what is happening, there is a religious crisis and scores of people are killed. Sleep dey catch me, I dey go sleep. Hope dem no go tear me BAN before I wake up tomorrow. This comment dey objective nau, abi ?

Blackteeth: Madam. To cut the long story short. There are things that that the human intelligence cannot measure up to just like dogs dont measure up to human intelligence.
An invisible thing doesnt mean it doesnt exist. eg Wind.

Guy, never waste your breathe ( keystrokes ? ) arguing with these folks. It's an exercise in futility FOR NOW. One day dem go jam a fearful problem or situation wey go make dem accept the existence of God and call on Him for help.

pDude: It all depends on how the police will handle the case of the student who picked the phone. In all parts of the world, it is only normal to question the person who comes up with an evidence pulled from the crime scene.

Yea, you are right. However, analyse this statement: "We have since asked the marshal to provide the student for questioning or he will remain in our custody for more interrogation the detective said". He is in "our" CUSTODY ?? Unless the Nigerian Police have created another holding facility, na cell be that O, guy ! You don enter that place before ? I shudder to think about the "MORE interrogation" the said detective was talking about. Chances are that the dude will be roughened up by the Police. Him own don done if he is unable to locate the fellow that gave him the phone in the first place as that person will be hiding out of fear of the cultists and POLICE !! Chai see yawa ! The hapless Campus Marshal will become the PRIME SUSPECT and spend days on end UNDER CUSTODY at the Police Cell. He will be allowed to go at the end of the day O, but his life will NEVER remain the same after this attempt at being a responsible information-volunteer.

Acidtalk,my broda ! Yawa dey O ! There's a battle of the sexes going on in 9ja, and I guess the whole of Africa as we speak. The ladies are beginning to jettison the values we hold dear and true ! This feminism thing is surreptitiously assuming alarming proportions O ! Our ladies are living in Women's liberation la la land ! Especially those ones in the diaspora. A friend of mine who got a scholarship to graduate school in the U.S was around two months ago to attend her sister's wedding and I went to visit her in her family house. As I was leaving, her mum packed some take-away food for me but couldn't find a nylon bag to put them in. I told my friend to please help me hold the food as she was seeing me off outside to where I parked my car. The babe refused O ! She said, I should carry the food myself that na so 9ja men dey do ! We dey look women as servants. Anyway,I self-consciously (because there were so many people seated) carried the two packs of food and we both walked to the car. A week after,this babe was about returning to the U.S and asked me to come take her to the Airport. When I got there the next morning,she had put together some heavy Bags and luggage which were to go into the trunk of my car. I simply opened the Trunk and stood back to watch her lug the stuff into the car, with huffing and puffing, she struggled with the stuff. By this time her dress don begin dirty. All these while, she was looking me with "bad-eye". Anyway,when she went into the house, I helped her put the stuff into the car so that she no go go damage my car for me. When we reach Airport,I just open the trunk of car and she went through the process again! She was mad and asked me what type of MAN I was ? I could allow a lady to be carrying such heavy load while I watched, that I no be gentleman @ all ! I just smiled and said "safe journey my dear." So, Acid my guy, you have got your work cut out for you as you tell the home truth to ladies and restore the natural order that's being tipped on its head. Heck,you fit even lose your life in the process. However, don't relent. Your post is very instructive. The truth is that at the end of the day,it is a man that marries a woman and not the other way round. MORE THAN THE MEN ( Note emphasis ), women usually do need to prove that they are "marriage materials". It might sound unfair but there you are. It's a fact of life,ladies ! Women do need to siddon and wait for their men to propose to them. These days,you don dey hear such nonsense as " a woman can propose" ! Utter balderdash ! Next, they'll tell you marriage isn't that important sef ! Some ladies are taking the " what a man can do, a woman can outdo" to a higher plateau these days ! Some actually pay their cheating partners back in worse tokens ! My hubby phucks around,I'll phuck around too ! Isn't that crazy ! I know I'll be called all sorts of names: male chauvinist Pig etc etc. However, e no go pass the cuss wey some guys don receive on Nairaland. However, that's the cross we have to bear to set things straight and restore the old order. I lie in wait of the next installment of your post.

After reading your post,I'm guessing you have issues with getting an attention or keeping it up to go the whole nine yards. Maybe you no really sabi anything 'consigning' the mata PRACTICALLY. Usually,guys wey dey brag about how good they are in bed cannot even fhuck to save their lives ! Anyway,no be by force nau ! Just give the girl the slip on the appointed day when she suppose "tsate" you. That way, she won't get to know that you're actually a disappointment between the sheets.

babaowo: yeah!!!

Guy, very soon una go eat una words ! This NTA wey una dey run down so are partnering with a DRAGON called CHINA to steal a huge chunk of the market share from Multichoice. Very soon, it'll be time to bid for EPL broadcast rights again. Plans are afoot for NTA-STARTIMES to toss its Hat into the ring for the coveted EPL broadcast to Nigeria. Shebi na EPL be the crown Jewels of that South African Company wey dem take hold all men for blockus ? Can Multichoice outbid the Chinese with that country's abyss of funds ? When Multichoice eventually loses the EPL FOREVER, we'll see whether they won't come up with a cheaper and flexible business model.

Bros,where u ? I dey wait for the next installment O ! On the issue of perseverence ehn, can you touch on knowing when to quit ? Stick-to-itiveness is good but e fit kill person so, when man suppose know when to bail out of an endeavour ?

[quote author=adora4u1]Seal’s accusation that Heidi Klum cheated on him during their marriage is absolutely false ... at least that’s what Heidi is telling close friends.

TMZ posted a video this morning in which Seal said straight out said Heidi was screwing the bodyguard while they were together --- and that is why their marriage fell apart.

Heidi told one close friend today her relationship with the bodyguard was "strictly professional" while she was with Seal.

The friends tell us that since the split, Heidi says she has gotten "very close" to the bodyguard ... who has helped her through the difficulties of ending a marriage

As for the nature of their relationship now ... all the friend would say is it's "undefined." So that's what the kids are calling it these days.

Heidi's friend adds, "It’s sad but not surprising that he would resort to making excuses for their divorce when the real reason is looking him in the mirror."


http://www.tmz.com/2012/09/01/heidi-klum-i-never-cheated/


"The Real reason is looking him in the mirror" ! Is that a veiled pot-shot @ Seal's scarface ? The Pun wasn't lost on me. The remote reason was that you slept with your bodyguard. The REAL reason was/is Seal dosent look good abi ? After how many kids ? SMH !

NEVER,REPEAT,NEVER ask a guy out if u don't want "see-finish". That's what'll happen eventually. Any self-respecting girl shouldn't do that. This fellow obviously was just nice to you and dosent want a relationship. If he did, am sure he'd have asked u out. Either that or he's taking his time. Have u considered whether he's in a relationship ? Whatever the case, whatever you do, DO NOT ASK THE GUY OUT ! Even if it kills u ! Just be yourself. Nice, well-groomed,respectful etc. Y'know, everything a guy wants in a girl. He'll eventually come round to it if he really wants you and is merely dithering.

Mine was inadvertent. As an undergraduate in Uniben way back in the day,I prided myself as a guy dripping with swag and used to be finicky and stylish in my dressing. I was always a hit with the honeyz and I went after only the finest babes on campus. There was dis really stubborn babe that I was chasing in skool then who was a real hot number. I had put the moves on her and she had began feeling me. During one ASUU strike when school was closed, I was @ home cleaning my room one morning when my Dad called me and asked me to hurriedly join him in his Peugeot 505 car to go get something @ Ring Road ( the centre of town ). I was wearing an old shirt, old shorts and bathroom slippers ( both feet different ! ). The clothes had become dirty because I had them on while cleaning the room. I wanted to change the clothes but my lecturer dad impatiently hooted the car horn and hollered that I should just get into the car like dat adding humorously that there was no need to change into my Sunday best. He said all he wanted me to do was just to help him lift stuff into the car after which we would both drive back home. Na so I enter car with dirty clothes and different leg of slippers O ! When we got to Ring Road,everything went fine and I helped Dad to load the stuff into the Car. As popsie attempted to start motor nah,for where?! Motor no gree start O ! Popsie then asked me to go home. I look myself from head to toe and told the guy that I would wait for him. We got a mekanik who told us they had to tow the car to his workshop. Anyway,I decided to go home cos it was past noon. I cudnt get a bike so I self-consciously walked to where Bikes park. As I was walking along, guess who was coming from the opposite direction !? Chai ! None other person but Osarume, the very babe wey I dey toast for skool ! I wanted to turn and flee but couldn't becos we were just a few steps away from each other! And, she was her friends ! Ol boy, e be like say make ground swallow me dat day ! I was smack bang @ Ring Road the centre of Benin city, wearing dirty shirt and shorts and Bathroom slippers with DIFFERENT FEET ! In fact, I be like craze-man. When we walked up to each other,she greeted me. I was so embarrassed ! I wanted to say something but muscle pull catch my Tongue. One of her friends sniggered as if to imply dat my skool effizy na sham all along! My babe looked @ me from head to feet and said "see u in school" ! Chai ! My hand fall dat day !
