Wishin u a blessed week

@pgm
Abeg, no vex, I've been a bit under pressure for a while, 'll get in touch soon
need your prayers

@kensky

abi you wan dey use rap do PP

Aniffy,
Nice blog you got there. ' the thing sweet pass novel'
I somehow used to think u were a lady ( don't know why)
until u talked bout growin up into a young man.
Keep it up bros.

@all,
How una dey?
Wish I could talk bout the eagles but ma mouth is still hung out of shock.

Tommyex
Thanx
R u in UK too? guess i need some fillin up on this thread

Young Kali,
just to reiterate what others have said, try ur best to get a 2.1
and in case you dont make it, cos u'r soundin pessimistic,
I gues there are two other options
its either you go for masters in Jand, cos its like there's a new fixation
for masters abroad especially UK and US.
the other option is to just go right out and start your own SME.
Nobody will bother even if you didn't make a pass and what's
more Yar'adua will support you, just like his predecessor
supported Dangote

On a more serious note its not that bad,
you can still get a good/great job
with a 2.2. its just that it may be more difficult than when
you have a better result

'bout your question, well, I didnt school in UJ
I served there and I am presently handling a project for
my company here.
For now you can say I work at UJ.
its a pity your sister just finished, its a small world, isnt it.
wish u the best.

Thanx Kuwena for the correction,
the requirement NLNG didn't add was an age limit.
I seem to be gettin older these days

ALL HAIL THE EAGLES

This is in no way intended to be a satirical piece

but a true assesment of reality.

For me, I felt the eagles (as from today remove the Super) of Naija for the

first time in a long while really payed their hearts out against Mali. The only problem

was that they met more than their match. You cannot begrudge those guys.

agreed, the attack and defence was out of sorts but they really threw everything in, including the kitchen sink.

The issue is that we expect our team to 'always' be the best, which cannot always be so.

On monday, we played probably 'the best team in africa' according to Berti Vogts but on

Friday I guess he must have realised, we were playing probably 'the best side in the world'.

Our dissapointments have made us fail to realise the obvious, the Nigerian eagles were

good but the malian eagles were simply world class. It is a priviledge that we could even

play a draw against them. If they can keep their head up they will surely get to the final.

I mean, looking at the game, their was simply no comparison,

the two Nigerian strikers (Obafemi and Yakubu) could not measure up to one Kanoute.

Seydou Keita showed that the six years experience between Nigeria '99 where he was voted

the BEST PLAYER of the tournament and Holland '05 where Mikel was voted 2ND best, really mattered.

John Obi tried but he was simply outclassed.

Trying to place Olofinjana beside Mammodou Diarra is pointless, its like comparing a meter to a mile.

Tell me what did you expect, when a team has a midfield and attack that comprised of

Dramane Traore, Mimo Sissoko, Diarra, Keita, Sidibe and Kanoute and with some other fire power

waiting on the bench? Abeg the Eagles tried Jare, its a classic case of 'water passing garri'.

Take hearts soccer faithful, Angola 2010 is not too far away, though some of us would have gotten married

by then.

Anyway for the die hards, technically speaking, Nigeria is not out yet, as they say, 'the opera aint over until

the fat lady sings' , I agree with you but I'll rather watch a game of Langer than sit down for the last round of group matches

hoping naija will qualify.

see you tommorow

Hey! how far? long time fellas

Sorry for being away for so long.

Congrats to the UK peeps

Am havin my own UK here in Jos, men its really cold here too

I sleep with gloves, socks, head warmers, blankets and all.

Hey young Kali,

Funny enough NLNG did not restrict applications to only first class and 2.1

2.2's also took part in the recruitment process, but that's an exception rather than rule.

most big players will always ask for at least a 2.1

do everything possible on this earth (and even seek help above) to at least make an upper.

by the way where do u study? I dont think have heard of Gas engr. in any naija univ.

go belewu, go belewu, go, you be baba !

sorry ahonohai

it seems you'r well versed in Latin and am not

I still dont understand the meaning of VICTORIA CONCORDIA CRESCIT

I don quite get ur last post

@ahonohai
VICTORIA CONCORDIA CRESCIT

What in the world does that mean

apart from my mother tongue, na only a little english, broken and hausa I sabi

reply asap

Let me give a little prediction here

Arsenal wont win

and Man u wont lose

feel that?

see you at the other side of the weekend

Its good to see you back Kuwena

You sounded healthy (mentally and psyche wise) in your last post

You'r just like the rightoues guy that falls seven times and rises again.

For those who learn to never give up,

a miracle is always around the corner.


@all
Cheers and have a lovely football weekend

Thanks Opoks for your pevious thread,

it had a refreshing effect

Sincerely, there have been a few occassion when I battled with the question 'what went wrong at nlng assessment',

actually, before August this year I had the enviable record of never having failed at any apptitude test, interview, application or what have you. I had always been successful until the latter part of this year and the deluge came.

Unsuccessful at shell aptitude test
Had my chevening application rejected
Failed CBN test.
and finally dropped by NLNG.

It was a bit difficult coming to terms with all these dissapointments within a short span of time.

but I guess your insight on what might have happened at nlng really came at an opportune time and had a soothing effect.

Your words took me back to some memorable verses in the book of proverbs


Pro 18:4  The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

Pro 16:24  Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.   

Pro 15:23  A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

Pro 12:25  Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

Pro 25:11  A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.


Keep it up Opokonwa, and God bless you.

Have I sounded too harsh on the 'current chairman of the thread'?

Abeg no vex, its just that sometimes when me fingers get itchy not even ma brain
can stop it

@Tombri, Wetin you chop this morning

instead of saying 'Keep it up' for those 'dumb empty spaces'

i'll rather say raise up your two hands and close your eyes - primary school style.

Do I need a nail and hammer to ram it into your head that pages on the thread
increases based on post and not spaces.

opokonwa link=topic=48041.msg1761735#msg1761735 :
Well, a re-union is always a welcome idea.

The constraint is usually the time and appropriate logistics to suit each person.

We all know we residents of Lagos are constrained by time; movement from one part of the town to another is not easy, almost everyone is busy all week round, the little time you have to yourself, you are also busy chasing many non-office deadlines.

Re-union is a welcome idea but I suggest the two, three, four or less sporadic re-unions that may depend on whom and whom is available at any particular time; Because Opoks! won't always be available.

But as much as we can, let us make meeting one another and fostering relationships a priority.

Well Said

Your rare combination of wits and intelligence just shows that NLNG has missed a gem

Hey, Where is PGM?
been gone for about 5 days now

Hope you've not decided to take some time off
to consider Thought's offer
Abeg O!

Anyway, wishing u the V. best

@all
Wishing you a glorious day

You have all it takes to achieve God's puposes for your lives

So go for it!!!

@PGM , Kenosym, Wandel, Johnsonlaw, and ANiffy

Congrats Mon

Wish You the best from my heart

I'v always Known that 'when you grow up, you go do us proud'

@Wandel
You said you are going to resign today,
Abeg, bros where you dey work
Just wonderin if I could take over your post
the earlier , the better.

@PGM
That was never intended to be a diatribe or a fulmination (Yeah, Fulmination - got that from google dikko )

or a monotribe( Yikes! dont know where I got that from). It was plain old friendly jibing.

but then its OK to be dumb sometimes (You be Einstein?), just like little moments of craze and madnes.

Actually enjoyed the 'dumb spaces'. Kinda funny and creative ( but don't try it again!!!).

@all
Saw what I posted yesterdy and men! felt impersonated.

Just one of dem days.

Guess I felt a bit too frisky after a day of tedious work

Congrats to all emirate fans

You escaped with a lucky draw today.

Lets see wether you'll have any tricks left in the bag come weekend

Gosh!!!





I forgot to drop my number
Well am in a hurry, I'l try dropin it tommorow if I have time.


Or better still, If you are interested,
just drop your num on this thread, I'll text you my number.


@THOUGHT
I initally THOUGHT you knew the plan but on a second THOUGHT, I realised
you might not due to your insistence on not letting in other guys on the plan.

Just in cas my second THOUGHT is right and my first THOUGHT wrong,
and you are interested,
I'll give you the gist free, for being the first buddy to
openly make the 'which way nlng world' know such a brilliantly THOUGHT out idea exist

Well lest I forget,








Just make sure that text contains the pin numbers of recharge card
worth N6000.00. (quite a moderate cost for something so well THOUGHT)

Am quite open, so it can be either glo, MTN or Celtel Recharge.
(if u send MTEL, you are on your own). Just make sure you specify
the network in the txtmsg.

actually am charging 5K for the idea, the remaining 1K is
for me to call you back, because it might take a while explaining and digesting.

In case you didnt get it earlier, the total cost in words is
Six thousand naira only. ( as they say in banks).


And for those that might try to play smart,
I'll test and load the credit to confirm the authenticity before
calling you back.


And you gats to act fast, anything from Jan next year.
The cost go double
No talk say I no tell you O.

My fingers just got itchier

For those curious about thought's plan that someone actually turned down NLNG for,
No more worries, I actually hav the full gist about the idea.

infact I have started implementing the biz plan.
Its just that C.C. Nwana and her crew didnt give me the priviledge of getting an
offer and then turning it down.
(or maybe they did , Yeah they did. I am actually the friend that @thought was talking bout)

So am now doing the said runs and its so cool that am earning what NLNG pays monthly in a day.
and whats more, I am my own boss. Its really an unbeatable idea.

The only reason why am offering to share my Pot of gold with you is that
I love you guys, I really love you guys on this thread.

If you want to get the load down (especially those that got the NLNG offer) and move to the better life
all you need to do is send me a text and I will call your number and tell you everything
you need to know about this life changing well THOUGHT idea.

@Tommyex

Ass-enal  (what wrong with me this afternoon) is the team to BEAT.

Step in Newcastle and chelsea,
Enough trashing for the one and only 'goners' this weekend

Re- Sincerely My friend, when I grow up I want to be like you


Men, PGM, when I saw what you did on the last 2 pages,
I felt like taking ma statement back.
well Fela said ,  something about 5 mins of xxxxx, 

and to all those who followed him with long lines of empty spaces like sheep
goin down a steep cliff,
stop this dumb rosco act.

Know ye not that pages increase on the thread based on number of post
and not long dumb spaces or KBytes ( in the true PHPMyBB buletin board fashion)

[size=14pt]Wow! its like me fingers got a little itchy this afternoon[/size]

Spoke with PGM some days back, He was such a great guy.

Sincerely My friend, when I grow up I want to be like you

Salute to the great ones on this thread Opoks, Kuwena, thought, Adrian, The kens, Ben Johnson (sorry runsaway), and new born baby(or is it new born leader) Tombri.
As they say, if I forgot your name, Lay it to my head and not my heart.

There is a drop of greatness in every man (and woe-man,  sorry again, I meant woman, what's wrong with me )
but its like you guys have an ocean swirling in you.
keep the flag flying.

Hey all, been gone for such a long time.

Hey @all, wishin you the best of the day.

On a jocular note, I think this thread can now be
comfortable divided into two subs

1. 'This way nlng'
and 2. 'That way rest of your life'

@pgm, congrats once again
sorry couldnt get across for some time, I'v been trying to put things together
well my num is 080xxxxxxx
