bankylan: If you are not from one of the top B-Schools, coming to Nigeria with your foreign degree will not automatically give you a good job....the likes of LBS,Cranfield,Insead, HARVARD, Hass, Hec, Stanford, ROTMAN,Ivey with impressive work experience can give you a good job.

But I am not sure of the likes of London South Bank, Southampton, e.t.c.

You don't even know what you're talking about. You think Southampton is a bad uni? Or did you mean the Solent one?

I have noticed something about Nairalanders: anytime I see a thread like this, the commenters always claim they got their job on merit.

As if they are not in Nigeria. Even in houses of God in Nigeria, it is very hard for anyone to become a leading minister without help.


Haba! Liars!

Don't try this at home in America. Beware of lethal weapons (guns). It is a "right-to-carry" country.

When her boyfriend dumped her,after telling her that she was fat and ugly,British singer ADELE was totally brokenhearted. BUT today,the girl is the highest-earning­­­ British singer and has won 8 GRAMMY AWARDS!



He started singing in 2000. He made over ten albums AND still NOBODY cared!

'He's a friend for life': Dennis Rodman reveals his 'bromance' with Kim Jong Un as they laugh it up courtside in North Korea






Standing before a gymnasium packed with tens of thousands of North Koreans in Pyongyang the former Chicago Bulls star made Kim his promise of friendship for life in a speech following the game.

Kim, a diehard basketball fan, in turn told Rodman he hoped the visit would break the ice between the United States and North Korea but just two weeks after conducting a nuclear test as a warning to the U.S.






The pair sat side-by-side chatting it up as they watched players from North Korea and three members of the U.S.' Harlem Globetrotters compete in a game that ultimately ended with a 110-110 draw.

Two Americans were playing on each team alongside North Koreans, said VICE founder Shane Smith who's covering the trip for a new weekly HBO series. The Xinhua News Agency first reported on the game, citing witnesses who attended.

Kim and Rodman chatted in English, but Kim primarily spoke in Korean through a translator, Mr Smith said after speaking to the VICE crew in Pyongyang.

Dressed in a blue Mao suit, Kim laughed and slapped his hands on the table before him during the game as he sat nearly knee to knee with Rodman.

'The crowd was really engaged, laughed at all of the Globetrotters antics, and actually got super loud towards the end as the score got close,' said VICE correspondent Ryan Duffy, who suited up for the game in a blue uniform emblazoned with United States of America. 'Most fun I've had in a while.'

'They bonded during the game,' Mr Smith said by telephone from New York after speaking to the crew. 'They were both enjoying the crazy shots, and the Harlem Globetrotters were putting on quite a show.'

Rodman, the man who once turned up in a wedding dress to promote his autobiography, wore a dark suit and dark sunglasses, but still had on his nose rings and other piercings on.

A can of Coca-Cola sat on the table before him in photos shared with AP by VICE.

After the game Rodman and the others left to Kim's palace where they dined on sushi together.

The leader plied the group with food and drinks as the group made round after round of toasts.

The unlikely encounter makes Rodman the most high-profile American to meet Kim since the young North Korean leader took power in December 2011, and takes place against a backdrop of tension between Washington and Pyongyang.

North Korea conducted an underground nuclear test just two weeks ago, making clear the provocative act was a warning to the United States to drop what it considers a 'hostile' policy toward the North.

The surprise visit by the flamboyant Hall of Famer known as 'The Worm' makes him an unlikely ambassador at a time when North Koreans are girding for battle with the U.S.

Just last week, Kim guided frontline troops in military exercises.

North Korea and the U.S. fought on opposite sides of the three-year Korean War, which ended in a truce in 1953. The foes never signed a peace treaty, and do not have diplomatic relations.

On Thursday an image Kim Jong Un’s brother Kim Jong Chul emerged showing him wearing the jersey of former NBA star which may help explain the basketball star's odd jaunt to North Korea.

The TV show Rodman is shooting for will reportedly air on HBO in early April while capturing him playing basketball and teaching kids the sport, according to VICE.

But the reason the often irreverent magazine was given permission to film in the country may boil down to nothing more than a simple case of boyhood adulation.

Kim Jong Chul, Jong Un's older brother, was pictured wearing a Rodman shirt while at international school in Switzerland where he was said to be a keen basketball player.

According to Daily NK, some reports have confused the image of Jong Chul with Jong Un because the brother's share a love of basketball - although the North Korean leader was more of a Michael Jordan fan.

Thirty-one-year-old Chul has been said to work at the WKP propaganda department so may have had a hand in enabling the visit.
In his own words: Rodman tried to downplay the blowback after news of his trip was announced

In his own words: Rodman says he has no political cause for going to North Korea, he simply admires their love of basketball

But he is never seen in public which has led many to question his ongoing relationship with the regime in general.

What is not in doubt is Jong Un will have have seen his brother's support for Rodman as a child and would have known him through his own passion for the sport.

In a memoir about his decade serving as Kim Jong Il's personal sushi chef, a man who goes by the pen name Kenji Fujimoto recalled that basketball was the young Kim Jong Un's biggest passion, and that the Chicago Bulls were his favorite

According to the New York Times, Vice approached Jordan and he turned them down.

Rodman and the players will run a basketball camp for children in the country and play games with locals.

They will apparently also star in a clash with North Korea's best players.

Yesterday Rodman tweeted 'Just being me #WORMinNorthKorea' adding: 'I'm not a politician Kim Jong Un and North Korean people are basketball fans. I love everyone. Period. End of Story'.


Mr Smith said: 'Is sending the Harlem Globetrotters and Dennis Rodman to the DPRK strange? In a word, yes. But finding common ground on the basketball court is a beautiful thing.'

DPRK is an acronym of North Korea's formal name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

VICE has made two previous visits to North Korea, coming out with the 'VICE Guide to North Korea'.

The HBO series, which will reportedly air weekly starting April 5, will feature documentary-style news reports from around the world.

The Americans will also visit North Korea's national monuments, the SEK animation studio and a new skate park in Pyongyang, according to Vice.

Along with soccer, basketball is enormously popular in North Korea and Rodman is one of the best defenders in the game, winning five NBA championships.

During a historic visit to North Korea in 2000, then-Secretary of State Madeleine Albright presented Kim Jong Il with a basketball signed by Jordan that later went on display in the huge cave at Mount Myohyang that holds gifts to the leaders.

Sorry bro.

[quote author=c.fours]speak for yourself. My father has only one wife - my mum.

maybe you're speaking about grandparents generation where women were married off to men at age 16 or less and were treated like slaves. ie man marrying a harem of multiple wives
This is 21st century. Yea if she wants to practice polygamy. good for her. but she needs to carry her prostitution work to a consenting couple. No woman in this world will pray for husband to be sleeping around. unless she doesn't love him in the first place and therefore doesn't care.

so, speak for yourself. your father must have multiple concubines from the way you speak. pity for the poor mother of yours. and if you have a daughter or sister, may God grant her the "privilege" to be 5th wife to her husband. AMEN.[/quote]From Sagamite: you are a person! Imb.ecil.e!

I heard the bullwhips a-flying and awful cry of the slaves...they’d squirm in misery as maggots got in wounds


IT is a shocking, shameful chapter in America’s history which the nation has long struggled to face up to.

But at tomorrow night’s Oscars, TWO of the US movies nominated for Best Film turn the spotlight on slavery.

Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln, starring British actor Daniel Day-Lewis, focuses on President Abraham Lincoln’s political fight to pass the 13th Amendment that abolished slavery in 1865.

Meanwhile Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained — with Leonardo DiCaprio as a ruthless cotton plantation owner and Jamie Foxx as a freed slave — is an uncompromising look at the cruelty of forced labour in the States, just before abolition.

In one violent scene a slave is ripped apart by a pack of dogs.




But even more horrific than such gruesome scenes in Tarantino’s film are the real-life stories of former slaves, filed and stored in America’s Library of Congress.

These documents, collected under the title Born In Slavery: Slave Narratives From The Federal Writer’s Projects, are records of over 2,300 interviews with ex-slaves, which took place between 1936 and 1938, and which are in their own words.

They reveal the living hell of slavery — the sadistic beatings, ritual humiliations and inhumane conditions.

Although it was 148 years ago that Lincoln declared emancipation, in Mississippi, slavery was only outlawed THIS WEEK. Due to an oversight, recently unearthed by two medics, the state had never technically abolished slavery.

Dr Ranjan Batra, professor of Neurobiology and Anatomical sciences at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, looked into the history of the 13th Amendment in his state after seeing Lincoln. He found that Mississippi had never submitted the proper documentation to ratify the Amendment. So he and colleague Ken Sullivan, lobbied for the correct papers to be filed.



Dr Batra said: “For me, it was important that this part of history was done from our state. We have some dark spots in our history through the South, it still affects people’s opinions about Mississippi today.”

Before emancipation, in the South, black men, women and children were owned body and soul by the plantation owners.

Their tales, recorded in the Born In Slavery files, were used by actress Kerry Washington to research her role of Broomhilda in Django Unchained.

In one account, former slave Sallie Crane revealed: “I been whipped from sun up till sundown. Off and on, you know. They whip me till they got tired and they go and rest and come out and start again.



“They kept a bowl filled with vinegar and salt and pepper nearby, and when they had whipped me till the blood come, they would sponge the cuts with this stuff so that they would hurt more.

“They would whip me with the cowhide part of the time and with birch sprouts the other part. There were splinters long as my finger left in my back.”

Other accounts detail how the overseers and plantation owners drove the slaves to work 18-hour days with hardly any food or rest and punished them if they faltered.

Not even pregnant women were exempt from the cruelty of the overseers.

“They used to take pregnant women and dig a hole in the ground and put their stomachs in it and whip them,” said Marie E. Hervey, the granddaughter of a slave.


Former slave Mandy McCullough Cosby remembered: “One woman, on a plantation not so far from us, was expectin’ and they tied her up under a hack-a’berry tree an’ whipped her until she died.”

Ex-slave Campbell Armstrong said: “Used to use a man just like he was a beast. They’d pull his clothes down and whip the blood out of him. Them people didn’t care what they’d done.”

In an interview, Lizzie Barnett recalled: “Many a time I’ve heard the bullwhips a-flying and heard the awful cry of the slaves. The flesh would be cut in great gaps and the maggots would get in them and they would squirm in misery.”

The issue of slavery divided the northern and southern states of America. The North either wanted to end the spread of slavery to new territories in the West, or ban it throughout the nation. But the cotton-rich South relied on slavery for its wealth and seven states withdrew from the union when Lincoln was elected President in 1860.

This led to the American Civil War, which was won by the North in 1865.

Until then, the plantation owners’ Slave Code meant they or their overseers could kill a slave without any consequences.

Ex-slave Robert Farmer said of one cruel overseer: “He beat my brother Peter once till Peter dropped dead.”

Often the owners would punish hapless slaves by humiliating them. Hannah Travis revealed: “If my mother left a dirty dish, sometimes there would be butter or flour or something in the dish that would need to be soaked, they made her drink the old, dirty dish water. They would whip her if she didn’t drink it.”

Mothers and their babies would be torn apart. Adelaide J. Vaughn, from Little Rock, Arkansas, said: “I heard the woman I lived with, Diana Wagner, tell how her mistress said, ‘Come on, Diana, I want you to go down the road with me apiece’.

“She went with her and they got to a place where there was a lot of people. They were putting them up on a block and selling them off just like cattle. She had a nursing baby at home and they had to git some men and throw her down and hold her to keep her from goin’ back. They sold her away from her baby boy. They didn’t let her see him again.”

Former slave Columbus Williams said of one overseer: “He would put 500 licks on them before he would quit. He would whip the women the same as he would the men.”

Slaves first arrived in the Americas from Africa in the 16th Century. The northern States abolished forced labour in 1800.

At first, many worked as domestic helps or in agricultural jobs but by 1860 two-thirds of them were in harsh cotton gangs.

Will Glass revealed: “I had an uncle, Anderson Fields, who would run away. They would get the dogs and run after him until he would climb a tree to get away. They would come and surround the tree and make him come down and they would whip him till the blood ran.”

Henry Andrews described how one owner punished a runaway: “Five hundred lashes and shot ’em up in jail. He had a jail on his place. He kept a male hog in the jail to tramp and walk over them.”

Even the plantation owners’ wives joined in the cruelty. Sarah Douglas said: “The last whipping I ever got I cried and bucked and hollered until I couldn’t. I give up for dead and she wouldn’t stop. I stop crying and said, ‘Old miss, if I were you and you were me, I wouldn’t beat you this way’.

“That struck old miss’s heart and she did not have the heart to beat me any more.”

So you sit there watching that bigot called afam ban people on a whim, abi?

Shebi the cretin said he would not lift the ban until the 27th so why has he lifted it now?

Furthermore, I would like to see the part of the rule that states that members would be banned when an unmeritorious moderator feels his feelings have been hurt.

Seun, even small Seun as mouthy as he is, is far more tolerant and despite the 'rofo-rofo' fight we had here, the boy was diplomatic about it but this appointed unmeritorious tribal mod feel the need to settle old scores and on a revenge mission. He is trying to say to me that he can do what Seun refuses to do abi? Okay o.

Oam4j, you disappoint me sha and I take back all my old love for you. Infact, I kinda liked you a bit more than Jarus but now it seems you are dining with our enemies because of some toro kobo that Seun kekere is paying o.

Shey you know that you people have banned me quite a bit in the past (including that Jarus, whom I love, by the way) without me raising any issues but the manner in which this bigoted boy is going about it is uncalled for. A moderator should be neutral and diplomatic but Seun is treading on people's toes by appointing this mgbeke boy. I know seun wanted to prove something to people like me but he has gone about it the wrong way and I hope it does not 'buu lowo o'. ehen.

Sagamite: Rubbish!

And the bible also said if she repents and accept Jesu before she dies, she would be forgiven and go straight to sweet heaven (the precious blessed eternity).

According to your beautiful bible, she can snatch/have affair with any married man, if the wife gets bitter and starts wishing evil or engaging in hate on her, when Lola repents before she dies, she would go to heaven while the unrepented bitter wife would end up in hell when she dies.

Beautiful logic by the bible!

So all she has to do is to be tactical and lucky and she would be rewarded with a married man and heaven. The odds are on her side.

Haaaha. The Bible is old school, innit?
In fact, according to Seun, just repent 5 minutes before you die. Repent and be saved. What a 'logical' reasoning!


BTH, too many hypocrite on this thread. Our girls do this regularly.
Let girls on this thread swear (changes nothing, though) they have NEVER dated married men. Abeg joo!
