Tip #6: The interviewee must ask at least 2-3 questions during the interview. Asking relevant questions shows that you are enthusiastic for the job. If you, as the job seeker, is only interested in answering questions, the interviewer could interpret that as you not being really interested in the job.
However, do not ask questions about your potential salary and/or vacation time. Those sort of questions would portray you as someone only interested in the pay (of course that's all what we want ) and not willing to put in the hours for work.

Stop to recharge at Ore. The idea is to have charging stations where gas stations are presently located. 20-30 mins to full charge would be the ideal scenario.

The only problem Tesla is facing is shortage of service centers, your car breaks down, and there's no one in town who knows anything about fixing it and the closest service center is 500 miles away.

You've got a workable idea!

Nigeria may not be ripe for fully-electric vehicles until, say, 30 years time. But in the interim, hybrid vehicles could be the more popular brand in the country.

Innoson should seriously look into producing efficient hybrid vehicles before he goes out of business.

Out of curiosity why this route specifically?

Its the route that a good number of Igbos ply every year

Disclaimer:
They are not even done with the making of laws and other critical roles they're entrusted with, now they want to confirm service chiefs. Yeye they smell.

Its all to deepen the doctrine of civilian control over the military. Despite the reservations I have of a majority of the members of the NASS, I support this move by them.

Moreover, I'll go ahead to suggest that the IG, heads of the DSS, DMI, NIA, Immigration, Customs, Prisons should all be confirmed by the Senate.

He'll find that place too cold. The engine oil compartment is better _ warm and lubricated. He can warm the car a bit to even out the viscosity.

His dick would be stuck in that compartment due to how tight it is

His wife has filed for divorce. She will get primary custody. If he sees his child 20% of the time for the next 18 years, he will be lucky. He has effectively lost his child.

Ok
I was thinking that the child died

Parliamentary approval of the service chiefs is in line with what obtains in other democratic nations. In the US, for example, all members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (service chiefs) must be confirmed by the US Senate prior to their appointment.

SPEAKER, House of Representatives, Honorable Yakubu Dogara on Monday disclosed that the current efforts by the House to amend the Armed forces Act was geared towards ensuring that the military perform optimally.

Speaking during Public Hearing organised by the House Committee on Defence on 6 different Bills on defence related matters referred to the Committee by the House, the Speaker said that, “the armed Forces also need to be strengthened to face the numerous security challenges faced by the Country with adequate funding and necessary policy frameworks”.

Commenting on one of the bill, a bill for an Act to amend the Armed Forces Act, Cap.A20, Laws of the Federation, 2004 to make the appointment of Service Chiefs subject to confirmation by the National Assembly, the Speaker said that, “I must say that this bill represents the correct position of the law and judicial authorities. I will dwell a little bit on this bill as it has far reaching constitutional significance for both the National Assembly and the President”.

The Speaker noted that, “in this regard, I wish to draw your attention to the fact that this matter was extensively canvassed in the case of FESTUS KEYAMO VS. PRESIDENT , FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA and 4 others, Suit No.FHC/ ABJ/CS/611/08, where the Federal High Court in a landmark decision held that S. 18 of the Armed Forces which is in pari materia with the current amendment sought by this Bill is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Constitution and therefore valid.

“The Court set aside the Armed Forces Modification Order, 2008, No. 50, made by President Yar’adua purportedly pursuant to S.315(2) of the Constitution, which deleted the requirement for National Assembly confirmation of appointment of Service Chiefs, as unconstitutional”, he stated.

To this end, he said that, ‘This case dramatizes the danger of leaving Section. 315(2) of the Constitution as part of our laws. It was meant to be a transitional provision. We will take the earliest opportunity to revisit the issue of deleting Section 315(2) from the Constitution in the ongoing constitutional review exercise, and hope that the House of Representatives will then rise to the occasion to do its duty in this respect.

“What this decision means is that Section 18 of the Armed Forces Act is an integral part of the Law as currently in operation, since there was no appeal. There may therefore be nothing to amend. But I will leave it to the wisdom of the Committee to deal with as it deems fit. We must however express our thanks to the sponsor of this Bill for drawing the attention of the House and Nigerians to the issue.

With respect to the bill that sought to amend the Armed Forces Act, on appointment of Chief of Defence Staff, he said that the Committee should determine whether deletion of Section 4 of the Act is necessary to achieve the laudable proposals of the Bill which will ensure, if passed, that the office of Chief of Defense Staff is specifically created and is subjected to confirmation by the National Assembly.

The Minister of Defence, Brig- Gen Mansur Dan Ali (rtd) who also spoke at the event said that Section 18 of the Armed Forces Act 2004 should be deleted so that the President can exercise his constitutional powers to appoint Service Chiefs.

The Minister who was represented by the Permanent Secretary Amb Danjuma Sheni said that the appointment of Service Chiefs under the existing Act is in conflict with constitutional provision on the appointment, citing Section 218 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) which empowers the President to appoint the Service Chiefs to buttress his position.

In his own contribution, the Chief of Naval Staff CNS Vice Admiral Ibokete Ekwe Ibas suggested that there was need to make the appointment of Service Chiefs tenured and rotational through an amendment to the existing Armed Forces Act 2004.

The CNS who was represented, by Lt Commodore G.I Ubong at the hearing said that the appointment of Service Chiefs by the President and Commander of the Armed Forces should be made tenured and rotational among serving military officers in all the six geo-political zones of the country.

The downside of the standard version, for some Nigerian buyers, is that it won't be able to drive from Lagos to Onitsha on a single charge

US opens new $11 billion base in South Korea as North Korea missile program intensifies

CAMP HUMPHREYS, South Korea - This small American city has four schools and five churches, an Arby's, a Taco Bell and a Burger King. The grocery store is offering a deal on Budweiser as the temperature soars, and out front there's a promotion for Ford Mustangs.

But for all its invocations of the American heartland, this growing town is in the middle of the South Korean countryside, in an area that was famous for growing huge grapes.

"We built an entire city from scratch," said Col. Scott W. Mueller, garrison commander of Camp Humphreys, one of the U.S. military's largest overseas construction projects. If it were laid across Washington, the 3,454-acre base would stretch from Key Bridge to Nationals Park, from Arlington National Cemetery to the Capitol.

"New York has been a city for 100-some years and they're still doing construction. But the majority of construction here will be done by 2021," Mueller said. (New York was actually founded nearly 400 years ago.)

N. Korea: Missile test proves it has capability to nuke any part of US

N. Korea: Missile test proves it has capability to nuke any part of US

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said Saturday the second flight test of an intercontinental ballistic missile demonstrated his country can hit the U.S. mainland.

The U.S. military has been trying for 30 years to move its headquarters in South Korea out of Seoul and out of North Korean artillery range.

Since the end of World War II, the military has been based at Yongsan, a garrison that had been the Imperial Japanese Army's main base during Japan's occupation of the Korean Peninsula. It is in the middle of Seoul and just 40 miles from the demilitarized zone that separates the two Koreas.

The South Korean and American governments have been talking since 1987 about moving the base away from Yongsan, but political and funding issues had slowed the process. Protests broke out a little over a decade ago when the Pyeongtaek, a sleepy rural city 40 miles south of Yongsan, was chosen as the new base site.

Now, the $11 billion base is beginning to look like the garrison that military planners envisaged decades ago.

The Eighth Army moved its headquarters here this month and there are about 25,000 people based here, including family members and contractors.

There are apartment buildings, sports fields, playgrounds and a water park, and an 18- hole golf course with the generals' houses overlooking the greens. There is a "warrior zone" with Xboxes and Playstations, pool tables and dart boards, and a tavern for those old enough to drink.

Starting this August, there will be two elementary schools, a middle school and a high school. A new, 68-bed military hospital to replace the one at Yongsan is close to completion.

That is in addition to the airfield, the tank training areas and firing ranges.

When it is finished, the base will be able to house precisely 1,111 families and a total of about 45,500 people.

But it's not just bigger; it's much more modern than the garrison at Yongsan, Mueller said. It has state-of-the-art communications technology and is a more "hardened" site to protect against a possible North Korean attack.

"Down here we're a little bit further from the action, and that helps buy us some strategic decision space should anything happen," Mueller said. "We've been able to create the facilities needed to keep up with the pace of modern warfare and modern communications technology."

Although the recent concerns about North Korea have centered on its rapidly evolving ballistic missile capability, the Kim regime has a huge amount of conventional artillery lined up on its side of the border that would be able to inflict significant damage on Seoul in a short space of time. It is this concern that has restrained American presidential administrations from launching a preemptive strike on North Korea's nuclear weapons facilities.

But the new Camp Humphreys is out of range of North Korea's multiple rocket launchers, although that hasn't stopped the North Koreans from making threats.

"The larger the U.S. military base is, the more effectively our military can hit its targets," a North Korean military spokesman said this month after the Eighth Army moved here, according to the North's Korean Central News Agency.

He lost his job. He lost his wife. He lost his child. He is probably about to lose his mind.

I thought he only missed the birth of his child?

Although I'm no fan of Trump, I'm happy that LA got the nod to host the 2028 Olympics. People were afraid that the Trump presidency may negatively affect Los Angeles chances of getting the games; but in the end, it was misplaced anxiety.

No light to charge this car in Nigeria

Elon Musk, CEO and co-founder of Tesla, has unveiled the world’s cheapest fully electric car, Tesla Model 3.

The car, which was unveiled over the weekend cost $35,000 (N11,033,750 at official rate) for the standard version, while the long range version goes for $44,000.

The standard version can travel 354 kilometres on a single charge, and when charged for 30 minutes, it can travel for 209 kilometres.

Musk, who handed over 30 Tesla Model 3 to the first set of buyers, said the demand for the vehicle has surpassed supply till 2018. He added that the auto company had taken orders in excess of 500,000 reservations.

“It’s an amazing car, but we’re going to go through at least six months now of manufacturing hell… There’s 10,000 unique components in the car, and production moves as fast as the slowest one,” Musk told reporters.

“Demand is not a challenge for the Model 3… We do everything we can to unsell the car. Have you ever seen an ad for the Model 3?”

The Canadian-American said the car will not need servicing as often as other cars around the world, promising over a million miles before first servicing.

“We’re designing the Model 3 to ideally not require service. The next-generation powertrain is designed to be roughly a million miles between service, aspirationally.

“This is a great day for Tesla. it’s what we’ve been working for. The point of Tesla was to make a great, affordable car that was better than any gasoline car. It was never our goal to just make expensive cars.”

The car is in line with the world’s decision to move away from fossil fuel to electric cars before 2040.

White House of Chaos and Commotion. Nothing is surprising about a fake and worthless president running a beautiful country to the sewage. Director Mueller, please hurry up.

The clown show has been so entertaining and tragic at the same time. The bad/good news is that the clown show could continue if the likes of Ivanka Trump, Kushner, Kellyanne Conway decide not to report directly to Gen Kelly.

Now maybe wifey will come back.

No more divorce since hubby won't be working for Trump

Thank you, dear.

I'm also wishing you a happy Sunday, and a good week ahead.

This Saturday happens to be my birthday too.

If there is one thing that is certain this season, just know it's that Fabregas will be a starter this season. Of course, with the presence of Baka and Kante would free up Fab to be more attack-minded.

I really don't envy Conte's position this season cos he will have to make difficult decisions with regard to his starting 11.

CzarChris:
I totally agree with you on that, but when you come from a family of politicians past and present, and you happen to be the only son of your parents. You definitely don't have a choice in the matter.

Wow
Your case is definitely special. As for me, I don't have that sort of pressure cos I'm not an only son/first son.

I wouldn't expect anything better from you . So no surprise here. Dimwit

I told my mum I want a beach wedding sometime ago Ann she said started doing vigil to destroy every mammie water spirit affecting my thoughts

Nigerian mothers

Gebbson007:
On a beach with 5o guests .gonna b serving BBQ n bear/whiskey. Nt planning on having hungry frnds around so no 1 z gonna complain bout a jollofless wedding.

Chop knuckle

CzarChris:
Anytime I remember this aspect of the wedding, I instantly get a migraine. I would love a registry wedding with a most 8 guests, but my family would have me murdered if I try any such thing, so mine is already a hugely large wedding by default.

Even vivalavida alone is already 50people put in one, cos my wedding party starts like 2 weeks before the actual wedding for him.

If I were you, I would insist on what my budget can afford.

lonelydora:
In my place, if you like have a list for 5 people, as long as people heard about it they will surely come. No need for invitation card sef.

Haha. I'll ensure that attendance is strictly by invitation for mine. It will be a maximum of 60 invitees on my guest list.
But it will be impossible to have a small guest list for the traditional wedding, that's if I marry a Nigerian.
