Chanchit: I don't knw wy this bloggers keep misleading people, African Queen was produced by Omololu not OJB.
After a few beers, many would believe Omo LL produced AFRICAN QUEEN. Unfortunately, it's OJB.

On another note, FAZE ALONE was not produced by OJB but. Cobhams thank you.
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Please Help Review this Cover Letter by overboard(m): 12:36pm On Jun 06, 2013
1forall: OP highlight those aspects of your experience/qualifications which might be most relevant to the role and be sure to comment on the skills/qualities/abilities outlined in the job advert. Match the info about the candidate that is most relevant to the job, showing the employer that you are aware of the job requirements, your strengths and how they 'fit'.

It is essential that you use the cover letter to give information about your knowledge, evidence of your skills and statements about your quality as a candidate. You seem to have done so in the letter above but apply some structure to the general presentation as follows:

.......................................................} Introduction, expressing
.......................................................} your interest in the
.......................................................} vacancy.

.......................................................} a) 1 or 2 paragraphs
.......................................................} detailing the 'fit' between
.......................................................} you, the job, and the
.......................................................} organization.

.......................................................} b) Key selling points in
.......................................................} relation to specifics of
.......................................................} the job advert.

.......................................................}
.......................................................} Positive closure.
.......................................................}

The 2nd and 3rd sections above are the most important so take time to develop these. And yes they are related but the 3rd is more specific to the job itself than the 2nd.

Good luck!
THIS SHOULD DO IT. EXPRESSIVE, TO THE POINT, DEVOID OF EMOTIONS & SHORT.

alpha conde: I hate DISLOYAL people. I feel he gave up etisalat and makes me see him like a batrayer. Now I hate him don't wanna see him on my tv never again
Err I wouldn't be too fast with that thought. Etisalat are quite notoriuos for not paying for the value they get. For one, most of the regulars they feature on their TVCs are paid per job and through agencies with no incentives. I guess the guy saw that MTN were ready to pay for value and he jumped ship. Brutality in certain aspects of Nigerian business is necessary I tell you.

Etisalat had done their own subtle attack to with the MTN "goat" TVC and this is a reprisal attack, a sweet one. I sure say dem go retaliate wella!

Business › Re: Should I Continue Working For The Company Or Start My Own ? by overboard(m): 8:41pm On Mar 01, 2013
paparazzi1987: Hello guys,please i really need your advice..
Currently i am serving in oyo state (which i only go there every month for my montly clearance) and am currnetly working
for a well know software company in lagos as a programmer. They pay me 70K per month and they promised to fully employ me
immediately i finish my NYSC with 150K for a start. But what my heart desire is to really be self-employed.
I have developed applications that i believe if i can get just 5 buyers i should be making at-least 700k every three month and i will also have time for my family.
But, what If i decided to turn down there offer and am unable to get vendors that will buy my softwares.
Should i continue working for the company or start my own ? please and please i really need you advice on this.
Stewardship has it's principles and returns. Stay back for a bit more. Learn the ropes but be diligent. Try as much as possible to venture into your own grounds if you wish but be careful of conflict of interest. I believe if well planned, you can actually go a good pace with your project and really have something tangible to start with. However, nothing really stops you from quitting though as an idea is worth so much gold... Not a must but labour market freshers may enter trouble easily out of exuberance.
Music/Radio › Re: Which Do You Think Is The Hardest Working Record Label In Nigeria? by overboard(m): 11:37am On Feb 28, 2013
@timecop28
A label don't necessarily have to have a recording studio. That a studio has been setup also don't translate automatically to being a label though the two factors are mutually exclusive.
Also, not singling out any of the aforementioned as having proper structure, only a handful really do have a true record company blueprint. Unfortunately, distribution seems to be the exclusive reserve of Alaba even with all the good "attempts" by Soforte & Iman /Trybe...
A&R in most cases is chiefly executed by excitement, sentiments, nepotism...
Many dey try shall especially with all the risks but truly, we have very few. Can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Health › Re: Please Advise On State Of A Loved Ones Corpse by overboard(op): 3:48pm On Feb 17, 2013
Thanks @dominique. I just felt that there may have been gross incompetence at play if not foul play as well. I'm considering dropping the whole proposed inquisition and let the dead sleep as you said. One last thing though, there were at least 3 or so other bodies (among a host of others) in the morgue when ours was deposited and my uncle and I noticed no such deterioration on those. Oh well...
Health › Re: Please Advise On State Of A Loved Ones Corpse by overboard(op): 9:10pm On Feb 16, 2013
@dominique Thanks But please help me more here, were the eyes supposed to be open after 3 months later? Also, after a so-called full embalment, was the condition supposed to be that bad. Please note that other family members (at least 2) observed the same thing and they have very well seen corpses in the past as they are well advanced in age. Could be all ignorance on our part but just saying... I thought I had seen (on TV at least) corpses kept in excess of three months that still look like human beings during burial rites like presidents and all. Your opinion again... Thanks.

There's a "brand" I've been working on 5 years now, has had continental exposure and is in demand. Refreshing, non-cliche and there's definitely a strategy for good ROI. Interested, email me at richgamutonline@yahoo.com.
Health › Please Advise On State Of A Loved Ones Corpse by overboard(op): 4:40pm On Feb 16, 2013
A close family member died i November '12. I transferred the body from one town to the other after a week as the original morgue was rumored to have an incompetent mortician. Also, because the body would eventually be buried in the town it was transferred to.
When I got to the new morgue, I paid for full embalment again as the mortician there claimed the first guy did a shoddy job. An aunt vouched for this new mortician saying he had handled her grandma... She also assured me over time that the body was in perfect shape on several checks.
Come February 2013, the day of lying in state. A dead person that had his eyes closed when I transferred the body in November had his eyes open, his lips seemed charred or dried, greatly emaciated and the complexion, stark black!!! Is this normal?
Could it be the eyes were plucked out and used as this was an eminent personality or just not taken care of well. Asides the annoying cotton wool in the nose, is that of the mouth necessary too? Mind you, the mouth was closed when I deposited the body.
Please help before I insist an investigation is launched as this may entail a body buried a week ago to be exhumed.
Thanks.

I agree with @Igwe. Additionally before you submit the proposal, make amends and if possible, improve on it. Let the similarity be there but let it also have a revised more interesting propositions...Next time, guard your ideas jealously. It's worth more than money.

Business › $200 Travellers Cheques? by overboard(op):
Please I need to change $200 Thomas Cook travelers cheques and the "aboki's" are saying thrash like it's N40 to a Dollar? In the early 200's, I had received payment from the US in th UK via a traveler in these cheques and changed them back in Nigeria at near the going rate then. Please does anyone have info on where to get these changed satisfactorily, a bank?
Music/Radio › Re: Do Musicians Make Money From ''singles'' by overboard(m): 12:12pm On Dec 16, 2012
Rarely. That's because we don't have that digital buying culture yet. Problems include internet access and payment methods. However, it don't mean there are no sales at all. Spinlet for instance seems to be working but I can't really confirm. Ring back caller tunes and ringtones are sales are growing but for your song to sell well, there must be must be ample publicity and it has to be appreciated. If it is iTunes and the like, it's a bit harder for us peeps down here. Well, if you promote well sha, there is a chance it will sell. Go ask Iyanya...

@pretty_boi
Don't mean to disrespect a dead man or spoil your reverence of him but is he not the supposed gun runner? Not sure but there was a white paper a while back on him (not sure again) and it was quite revealing. I think. All the same, he was human, R.I.P. to Azazi and Yakowa.

Davido's album is out. Why is he in the next rated category? His album (O.B.O) release party was done a month or so. I even have a copy. He should be revelation of the year or something not next rated since the category is supposedly meant for artists who are officially unreleased.
