life!

This is nice

Can this information be amplified for the sake of my people who don't know.

It is the duty of everyone working in the hospital to assist patient during emergencies. It doesn't matter your designation when there is emergency you must help in anyway to make sure the patient receives speedy and appropriate care. Moving trauma patient is especially important and the doctors on duty must be involved.

And it came to pass

My gut feel -- Trump wins. By a pretty clear margin.
Here's why:

1. The biggest issue that people face is inflation. The average working family is having a hard time making ends meet. They blame Biden / Harris.

2. The idea that Trump is Hitler is not resonating. In 2020, he seemed more authoritarian. Now, he's surrounded by RFK, Elon, JD, Tulsi etc.. Meanwhile the dems are executing squirrels.

3. People are not into more wars. Democrats seem more hawkish.

4. Kamala is objectively un-appealing. Biden at least was a known entity. Kamala seems like she has a drinking problem. The cackling is horrific.

5. Crypto/Bitcoin people are single issue voters and that will matter.

6. The Electoral college plays in Trumps favor. I think he will get one of WI, MI, PA. Possibly all 3.

7. America loves a comeback. Trump is the comeback kid.

Is the Messi-Ronaldo debate getting easier? The former is in one of the easiest leagues in Europe and has made almost no impact. The latter is in the most competitive and dominating in the hardest of moments. The GOAT? Yes.

Well, I hope so.
It's unfortunate that something this important don't trend online like celebrities, snake, nudity and sex related headlines.

God helps us all.

The Interview

Each time I conduct interviews, I usually end up shaking my head and lamenting about the state of education in Nigeria. Our tertiary institutions are churning out graduates who are mainly unemployable. Earlier today, I interviewed almost 50 candidates and by the end of the whole session, the only conclusion I could arrive at was that we have a BIG problem.

In one particular instance, I was alarmed when I read the CV of a particular female graduate of one of the Universities in the South West. It was full of outlandish errors and so I asked her to spell a few words. She spelt the word 'redeemed' wrongly four times before she got it right the fifth time. On her CV, she described herself as one of the officials of the church fellowship when she was an undergraduate but she wrote the name of the church wrongly. She couldn't spell the word 'corper' despite trying more than five times. Yet, during her national service, she taught pupils at a school. I underlined about 10 grammatical errors on her CV and showed them to her. She couldn't even determine where to use apostrophe s.

A particular candidate couldn't speak a whole sentence without committing serious blunders. Even when I repeated those errors while thinking he would correct himself, he repeated the blunders again. Another candidate found it difficult explaining what he studied in school. Some have not developed themselves in any way since they graduated. I had to spend some time to talk to a lady who had her Ordinary National Diploma fifteen years ago but had not done anything to improve herself since then. When she mentioned the issue of paucity of funds, I pointed at her designer bag and her well braided hair as evidence that fund was not the problem.

I asked a female candidate what her aspirations were if money was not a restraining factor. Her answer left all of us on the interview panel with mouths wide open. "I want to live large and live big", she told us. One of the candidates told us he studied 'BSc Economics'. He made the mistake thrice until I corrected him that he studied Economics and not BSc Economics. A fellow was asked to introduce himself and he started with 'My names are...'. I asked him how many people he's introducing. Even when I tried to correct him, he insisted he was correct so I gave up on him.

On one occasion, I asked a female candidate what her husband does. She replied, 'I'm sorry but he's a driver'. I asked her why she was sorry about the legitimate job that her husband does. I told her that the job of her husband does not define who he is. His job is simply a job. I told her I also drove a cab before. I spent the longest time with her as I wanted her mind to be disinfected of the low self-esteem she seemed to carry. I played the video of Femi Ogedengbe, the Nollywood actor turned security guard in the United States and encouraged her to be proud of her husband. Interestingly, the husband is a graduate and I've asked her to give me her husband's CV. She almost broke down in tears when I told her I'd rather hire her husband than her. She knelt and apologized before she left my office.

A few guys had the labels of their suit on their sleeves- at least three of them that I recall. When I asked why the labels were not removed, they grinned sheepishly. One of them told me that is the current trend. When that same guy sat down, I observed that he wore ankle socks with a significant part of his legs showing bare skin. One candidate was particularly striking for his naivety. He came in shaking and stammered while introducing himself. He could barely string a sentence together. When I tried to make him comfortable by asking him to take a deep breath, he answered by saying, "I don't know why I'm like this today. This is actually my first interview". He just finished his national service and anxiety was written all over him.

I made two major observations during the interview session today:

1. Candidates who engaged in extracurricular activities while in school turned out better. There was a lady who was a member of SIFE- Students In Free Enterprise- while she was on campus and she was one of the bright spots. There was another fellow that represented his University at a competition outside Nigeria. He was also outstanding. Likewise, a lady who was Vice President of her Students Union while she was an undergraduate. She demonstrated so much confidence during the interview.

2. Candidates that went to private universities performed better generally. There must be something the private universities are getting right as their graduates communicated better. They demonstrated a far more superior level of intelligence. I was disappointed by the performance of most graduates of mainstream universities and polytechnics. One could almost guess whether a candidate attended a private university just by listening to them.

If you're preparing for an interview, it's in your best interest to do some research about the company you want to work with if you know the company. Google is your friend. Work on your communication skills. You should be able to talk about yourself very clearly and also describe what you have done before-if you're an experienced hire. Your body language is critical- no fidgeting and no show of anxiety. All of us have butterflies in our stomach when we face strange people on an interview panel but with a smile on your face, no one will ever know. A lady cracked her knuckles throughout the interview today. It's very irritating but also shows she was nervous. Your posture is important. Dont slouch on the chair. Sit straight with your back on the chair and your legs together.

Mind your language while being interviewed. It's better to be brief than to be unnecessarily verbose. By talking too much at times, you demonstrate that you know so little. Pronounce words well. It can take some practice but stand in front of a mirror and rehearse until you get better. Be ready to defend your certificate. Demonstrate that you actually earned your degree. Maintain eye contacts. That shows your level of confidence. Good grooming is key to your success. No matter the current fad, it's safer to be conservative in your dressing. Dark coloured suits are best for interviews. Stay with white or blue shirts for men. You can never go wrong with them. You must have a great sense of colour to want to try very bright colours. It's either it turns out so good or you turn out like a magician's apprentice. Ladies have the latitude to try out more colours but the simpler, the better. Pay attention to your hair and hand bag. Synchronize your colours properly. Avoid loud jewelleries. Look your best as the book is often judged by the cover during interviews. Your appearance is what we see first before we hear what you have to say.

We need to declare a state of emergency in our education sector and even start to teach intending graduates certain life skills. Nigerian graduates will not be able to compete with their African counterparts in a few years at this rate.

Thanks so much

gentleiphy:
I know this is an old story but some reading now can still pick some few things from my contribution.Sorry for the visa denial Doctor...i appreciate the fact you took your time to write them a mail to register your dissatisfaction with the reason given for your visa denial and the auto response you got too which is the usual response to everybody that has been denied and wrote them.I want to also say that our Doctor here has the right to express his anger and also do the US visa officers has right to deny and approve visa to whoever they want to...like some one rightly said..visa approval is not a right..any country can decide on who enters and leave their country especially if you are from the third world country you are seen as a potential run away regardless of your earning or income bracket after all okonjo iweala dem and chimanda adichies are all resident in the US because the US offers more than 200% what Nigeria can never offer in any time soon..

I also want to say here that there is nothing wrong with the Doctors non travel history..i have always told people that in Nigeria .US visa officers approve or deny visa based on their mood and not about any ties or not or travel history..personal experience...my cousin who graduated from school after service no job for 2yrs decided to give a trial to US embassy for visa...he has never crossed cotonou and therefore does not even have a passport..he got his passport 4 months prior to attending his visa interview...he was single and a young boy...three things here...no job..not married...never traveled before and no intention of coming back if granted visa..what happened,,he was given 2yrs visa and that ended the story..the rest is history as he has his green card now.

Now on my own personal experience,i worked with the Maritime,i earn a high income,i have traveled to 13 European countries,4 Asian,3 south american,middle east and around Africa both for work,vacations and world cups and nation cups..3 months after returning from Germany,i had a conference to attend in New York,i paid for my conference got all application for visa sent and went for interview...female VO picked my two passports leafed through all the pages saw all valid visas and travel dates and asked me i was in Germany last 3 months i said yes,she asked for the purpose i told her for work,she said she noticed i have traveled to so many countries and for what,i told her for work,vacation with my family and for sports events...she asked further if i have family i said yes..she smiled and said..sorry you are not qualified to enter the US..i smiled thanked her and left without anger because i know she has right to deny and approve my application...it saved me flight cost and accomodation as i got refund for the conference though...as that time i went for that interview my Canada PR application was almost through as i had done my medicals...so i never gave the denial a thought..

Fast forward to me arriving Canada with my family and after 5 months i went back to the US embassy here in Canada,now i was not asked questions about anything,i was only asked my status in canada and where i wanted to visit on a tourism..i mentioned,the vo laughed and started suggesting to me other places in the US i can visit to have quality time...she even told me i was denied visa back in Nigeria some months and i said yes and she said that wont be anymore..i was given 10yrs visa.

The point is applying for US visa from a 3rd world country is just a matter of VO mood as we all are seen as potential run aways..so Doctor dont see the denial as anything whether you met with the ties they so much talk about or not..if you still want to go for your conference wait a bit and apply again...a happy visa officer may be your interviewer and you will get your visa...i have seen people who got visa just because it was the VO birthday and she was so excited and happy reminding every applicant on her window it was her birthday..

So please apply again when you are ready.

Good move

Nice one CBN

Well, if it reduces corruption and impunity by our uniform men and women at the airport, then it's okay by me.

Nice couple

When people ask you what happened here, tell them the North remembers


quote author=omenka post=60572197]Good morning.


History, I always say, has a way of redressing the conduct of the present, and as Nigerians, we sure have as much history as one can possibly care for, especially as it relates to politics.

Some of us have been around long enough to know that the cries of those who seem frustrated by the positions we've chosen to take as regards the ongoing clampdown on the terrorist organization, IPOB, deserve to consolation.

We have a good memory of recent history and will always share that memory to the benefit of those with either short memory or those who are genuinely ignorant of where we are coming from.

Before I proceed, I'd like to remind us that we know just about every single individual who supports Kanu and IPOB is either a supporter of Jonathan, or at least, sympathetic to PDP. There's no denying that fact. Their comments to this day on national issues bears credence to that.

So, we were here just over two years ago, during the last sprint to the general election, when news reached us the residence of BAT was being monitored by soldiers stationed just meters away. The politician had not been charged with any offence to warrant such surveillance neither did he pose any threat to national security. His only offence then, as we all know it, was that he posed a threat to Jonathan's victory in the forth coming elections.

Events were reported as follows.. (just and excerpt)


https://www.nairaland.com/2140496/30-soldiers-monitor-tinubus-ikoyi

Now, for those who appear, today, to be great advocates of human rights and the need not to deploy the military into civilian populated areas, especially when such a place had been relatively peaceful, here were their comments then..

Remember, neither Tinubus residence nor his street was experiencing any sort of security problems or restiveness. It was sad calm and quiet as can be.

Follow me.. .

Our very own Dickdastardly found it humorous and says..



This dude here says Tinubu is a criminal and that necessitated the deployment. Guess what, this comment garnered 131 likes!


This guy took it to the next level..






Of course Firefire came to party at well.. He posted this accompanied with a mocking picture..




Firefire again. Tinubu he says, is an enemy of the state!


Someone who's had their account deactivated says this..











This one says the president should be commended for so doing..




This one who's deactivated jeers at Tinubu saying he hid under his bed..




One might wanna ask the Chucks guy below why Abians weren't happy with the extra security.. .




This guy here bared it all!


At the risk of sounding verbose, i'd stop here. There are tons of such comments applauding the deployment of those troops to Tinubu's house as the thread ran eleven pages!

Now, take these comments and place them side by side those we see today, you then understand where some of us are coming from.

They say "karma would visit us" and I tell them, that is exactly what they are enjoying!

We don't forget folks. We don't.

Have a productive week ahead and say no to terrorism.

God bless Nigeria and all those who bless her.[/quote]

PointZerom:
If this is true then APC and PDP are terrorist groups. They have caused more pain and terrorise her citizens more than even BOKO Haram. Even those in IDP camp were bombed by them.

APC OR PDP never called for burning or destruction Nigeria. They were never known for daily feedings of their members with hate speeches.

Immediately #IPOB was declared a terrorist group, some people started asking how come #Herdsmen are not declared a terrorist organisation.

Let me tell you the difference using different illustrations...

Armed robbery has been going on in Nigeria for over 50 years, how come armed robbers are not categorized as terrorists? Even though they carry weapons? The simple reason is because armed robbers are not a unified group.

■ They do not have a command hierarchy
■ They do not have political aims
■ Same applies to kidnappers...They are also criminal elements of our society but you cannot brand them as terrorists

The characteristics of a terrorist group are:

1. They have a group
2. They have a supreme leader
3. They have a leadership hierarchy
4. They have a base
5. They have a command centre
6. They have a recognized logo
7. They terrorize civilians
8. They have a militant wing
9. They have a political aim

The good thing is that Armed robbers, criminal herdsmen and kiddnerpers are not rewarded for their activities...The full wrath of the law is visited on them when they are caught.
We have punitive laws for those categories of criminal elements...They are simply criminal elements in the society.

Same applies to the criminal herdsmen, they are a minority criminal elements in our society that carry out criminal acts such as armed robbery, kidnapping, killing and arson.

Terrorism is when you form a group, arm the group and unleash terror on innocent citizens using the name of group, with a command hierarchy in the pursuit of political aims, that is standard definition of #terrorism.

A #terrorist group are people who willingly join a group and actively participate in terror activities like the ETA, Al-Queda, ISIS and now #IPOB under one umbrella with supreme leaders, a political and militant wing with the aim of using violence and intimidation for pursuit of political aims.

But how do you brand armed robbers a terrorist group? Is it by the number of tribes involved in armed robbery?

The fact that the total armed robbers in the country comprise of 90% of a single tribe doesn't mean the whole tribe are armed robbers.
The fact that 90% of the people engaged in drug trafficking are members of a particular tribe doesn't mean the whole tribe are drug pushers.
The fact that majority of kidnappers are 90% members of a particular tribe doesn't mean the innocent members of the tribe should be tagged kiddnapers.
Same way you can't brand all herdsmen terrorists because most of them are law abiding citizens who go about their daily activities peacefully.
#Herdsmen are cattle rearers, and among them we have criminal elements.

So it will be unfair to tag the whole herdsmen terrorists because of the activities of a minority.

I so submit

Time shall tell

fastgyal:
lol, now this is one thing I'd like to counter. I don't dress because I wanna be addressed in a distinctive way or because I wanna impress anyone. I simply wear what I'm comfortable with. In some cases, I feel I'd look good in my jacket and denim trousers. Other times, I feel a sleeveless top with a knee length skirt would make me look smart. Dress according to your mood because anything You wear whether good/bad, them go still talk. I'm not supporting indecent dressing. But I like to wear what would make me free. You can't judge anyone based on what they wear, Every adult should know the right kinda dress to wear to an occasion or event. The most annoying thing is that these people who give these kinda advice are hypocrite and do worse.
So I simply say, wear the right kinda clothes for an event and avoid exposing sensitive parts of your body.
