Is Lagbaja a criminal running from the law? This hiding of his face is becoming annoying.When did he become Darth Vader?I am sure if he gets ill and he needs the help of Nigerians and celebrities, he will remove that mask.NONSENSE.

They have not called o.When exactly today did you receive the mail and where is the venue?

teminoni: Just got an invite for an aptitude test on 26th July.

Anyone else?

Unfortunate scenes.

Taiw: I was coming from ife today, just after we passed Ibadan, we got to the scene of an accident that just happened between a bus and a trailer that was parked by the roadside. The commercial bus which was fully loaded with passengers was coming with a high speed when it ran into the trailer. I learnt nobody in the bus survived the accident aside a lady who was rescued with fatal injuries. Seeing Frsc bringing out school bags from the bus, one can only guess that students were also in the bus. The two mechanics that were working under the trailer were also killed. May God save us in this country.

CONGRATULATIONS MAN.The best of everything lies ahead for you;go grab it.We will be here keeping it real. My regards to the Royal pikin.

Chylo: This my official sign-off from this thread. Got an offer for a phd in economics in the uk. Will be going to do that in September instead. I rilly tried waiting for pwc or kpmg as long as I could, but it's prob for the best.

Thanks to evryone; phonon, mcstan etc who've been giving advice and hope. Wishing u all d veri best @ kpmg.

Watching this video now makes me very angry that a once respected country called Nigeria has now become a pariah. Look at the complete ceremony put up at the airport just to receive Tafawa Balewa. The US Vice President at the time, Lyndon Johnson received him at the airport. Americans line the streets waving at the Prime Minister.Our leader addressed the US Congress.Can we boast of that kind of reception now? Our president would probably be met at the airport by the Assistant Senior Deputy Secretary of State. Where did Nigeria go wrong? May God eliminate those who destroyed and are still destroying this country.

How did they evade kidnappers?

You couldn't have expressed it better. Thanks so much for the insight;looking forward to seeing you in September/October.


[quote author=mcstan_18]There's no other stage after the partner interview. Benchmarking is only a process whereby HR compares all successful candidates by juxtaposing your resumé, credentials, and performances at each of the stages of the recruitment process with that of your contemporaries.

This is usually done to ensure that the 'best' of all qualified candidates are selected from the pool of talents available for employment at each point in time (there isn't a foolproof assurance that this would be the case afterall, just a thing of professional judgment).

However, if the HR perceives that a person isn't good enough for his/her preferred unit due to better candidates vying for the same position, an offer to make an alternative switch to other units where there is/are available space(s) is usually made.

Don't fret too much over this brother. It shall come good. Bless you.[/quote]

This T.B. Joshua is becoming something else..........Who is this guy really?

I hope so brother.I only asked because HR had mentioned something about 'benchmarking' after the Partner interview.Waiting patiently.....

[quote author=mcstan_18]There's no other stage after that brother. You only need to await the success mail and then proceed to medicals. God's grace brother[/quote]

Celebrating with you bro.Do you know if there would still be any other stage after the Partner interview?


[quote author=mcstan_18]It's exactly 1year since this thread was created by me and I thank God for helping through all stages and ultimately into KPMG. It's not been an easy one year but the Lord has been gracious towards us.

To all those seeking to join the firm, may your heart desires come true. Amen[/quote]

I cry because of the pity I feel for children whose intelligence are destroyed by the mediocrity that characterises such movies.A few Nollywood movies being produced are above average but most of them are just dust for the mind.

I have not received bribes before however certain situations had required me to pay a 'facilitation fee' to get out of difficult situations.

Don't be surprised if Cosmas Maduka blames Ifeanyi Ubah or one of his perceived enemies.

Hackers are starting to make Glass do a whole bunch of things Google has forbidden the device to do.
And thanks to 24-year-old Stephen Balaban, they may soon be able control the device a lot more.

Balaban has built "an alternative operating system that runs on Glass but is not controlled by Google," he told NPR's Steve Henn.

Google is trying to walk a fine line between encouraging developers to write awesome apps for Glass and keeping people from getting too freaked out about the potential spying/creepiness/unwholesome factor.

For instance, Google has banned porn apps.

And, a couple of months ago, it banned facial recognition software.

The ban came after Balaban, one of the developers behind commercial facial recognition startup Lambda Labs, built a facial recognition app for Glass.

After the ban, he promised he wasn't giving up. As people tweeted disappointment, Lambda Labs replied:


We reached out to Balaban for comment and will share more details on this project when we get them.

It cannot possibly be news to even someone living on a remote island in the Pacific Ocean that college students sometimes detach sex from love, so why are we endlessly declaring what is now called “the hookup culture” and what used to be called “the sexual revolution” a huge new story?
The continued struggle in prominent liberal places like the New York Times to come to terms with one of the more obvious and basic realities of modern sexuality is, I think, worth thinking about; the real news story is not “She can play that game, too” but “Why is the New York Times still marveling over women who sleep around just for the sake of it?”

The underlying taboo here is no longer young women having sex, which the culture at large has come to terms with, but young women actively, consciously, seeking out sex without love; it is the cool, calculating search for sexual encounters, without even a secret hope or desire for emotional entanglement which still shocks. (And stories like the New York Times’ always include ritualistic reassurance that there are still some girls who “longed for boyfriends and deeper attachments.”)

There is also the continued critical fuss over television shows that bring “news” of women who sleep with men and are not necessarily looking for boyfriends or in thrall to romantic aspirations (see the fresh wonder greeting Girls).

These shows seem perpetually “new” to us, even though the topic has been one of pretty constant interest since the days of Henry James ’Daisy Miller, or Max Beerbohm’s Zuleika Dobson or Jane Austen’s Lady Susan (and even earlier if you look at Chaucer or Boccaccio or Moll Flanders.)

The sense of taboo or fascination remains remarkably robust, even though this fall will see the 40th anniversary reissue of Erica Jong’s Fear of Flying, which put forth the idea of a “zipless Bleep.” Even earlier, in 1942, Mary McCarthy comically anatomized a one-night stand on a train with a man her character found mostly repellent in “The Man in the Brooks Brothers’ Shirt.”

Women writers have been analyzing the myriad ways sex can be independent from love for a very long time, and yet we continue (or I should say some editor at the New York Timescontinues) to be scandalized or titillated by or interested in the most banal utterances of a college student: “We don’t really like each other in person, sober. … we literally can’t sit down and have coffee.” “I definitely wouldn’t say I’ve regretted any of my one-night stands.”

“Hookup culture” (a term that itself tries to repackage something banal or familiar as “new”) has been explained as victimizing women (who of course are too Harlequin Romance-ish to want sex without secretly yearning for a boyfriend); or else it is analyzed as being part of the new, driving female ambition, which is to say that women are focusing on their careers at an early age and don’t want or have time for love. (As the New York Times put this emergent cliché: “These women said they saw building résumés, not finding boyfriends (never mind husbands), as their main job at Penn.”)

This may be true, but it may also be true (and not exactly exciting) that there are college students who sleep around just because they feel like it (not to mention women of all ages). It may in fact be a phenomena that doesn’t have to be explained or accounted for or culturally deconstructed or politically analyzed. It may be much murkier—a moment, a phase, a situation, an evening, a mood—in an irreducibly individual woman’s life.

Because we still find the idea of a woman who is not at all times looking for love or imbuing her affairs with romantic ambitions so puzzling or bewildering or exotic, we are especially interested in cartoons or caricatures of the type. The latest of these to grab our attention is Celeste Price in Alissa Nutting’s Tampa, a teacher whose lust for high school students is remarkable in its calculation, its chilliness, its absolute refusal of romantic overlay.

Nutting classifies her as “a remorseless libido in heels.” She says that she did not want to fall into “the current trap of reading the female predator in a sympathetic light.” What renders Nutting’s character so unsympathetic is that she is not dreamy or rapturous or deluded about her transgressions; she is only interested in sexual gratification, lust in its purest most alienating forms. Nutting calls her a “monster” and she is a monster because she has no feelings for anyone besides herself.

However, the generations of women who sleep with men they don’t want to marry or live with because they want adventure, or because they are bored, or because they are attracted to them, or because they are afraid of death, or because they are restless or because they are craving intensity on a particular night, or because they just feel like it are not at all monstrous or even interesting. Mary McCarthy evokes these women in her story about the one-night stand on the train when she quotes Chaucer, ''I am my own woman well at ease.”

So long as she speaks above average English and does not have the unfortunate predisposition of PEJ to be a co-husband instead of a wife.Then,I can begin to consider the option.

NTA NTA NTA NTA NTA NTA....

#Downloading more 'NTA'#


That station reduces the IQ of children.

Looking on the bright side,those that crave a job with MTN would do well to flash their sparkling yellow teeth at the interviewer;I hear they value such people as brand ambassadors because EVERYWHERE THEY GO,they represent.Don't forget the yellow tie with your suit.


Hee?

Hmmmmm

Even if you have resumed work with them;when they do find out you have written the test twice,YOU WILL BE FIRED.The day I wrote my test,a lady from their HR unit made that very clear.

I am not saying we should act as if we have gotten the job or that we have a right to it.KPMG can decide otherwise.I am just saying we should remain hopeful while exploring all other options.HOPE FOR THE BEST;PREPARE FOR THE WORST.

Just waiting for the 1d1ot that would mention Illuminati here.Awesome creativity.

Studying medicine has nothing to do with being the best in secondary school and should not be the rationale for the wage disparity for corps members.

For all the hopefuls, listen to "Come September" by Natalie Imbruglia. It will keep you in the anticipation mood.

The wait is almost over......

September draws closer....Phew!!!!!!!!

Pastor ti fa gbogbo emi okuku to wa lenu arabirin Fadake jade.E yin Baba o.(PARDON MY 'POOR' YORUBA) Mouth-to-mouth deliverance.

You worry too much.It is not the last stage so you should try to relax.But I must say,KPMG does know how to give one sleepless nights.The partner does not give HR orders;they will get back to you with good news.

Naffysah: Officially I am hyper tensed! I did my partner interview last week tuesday and the partner assured me I'll get a response on Friday. Its exactly a week after and still no mail... Whew! I really pray I did not flunk this #worried much#

For all those still attacking me,I have apologised in a previous post so please move on with your lives.More important things lie ahead.

Well,of course zoology is science.Biology and Agricultural Science are science courses.I only wrote what I did in the context of GEJ being referred to as a scientist;was being sarcastic.I did write 'NOT REALLY' science.Poor choice of words,I guess.My apologies to you and all those who responded in a civil manner.

searay: going by your assertion, Biology and Agriculture are not not Scienc. By the way, in your opinion, what is science?

This is the part where I respond to you with insults?Nah,you are not worth it.Let me break it down the way I meant it.ZOOLOGY IS NOT A CORE SCIENCE FIELD.I am guessing you studied Zoology.What was your actual intended course of study.JAMB sometimes could be cruel.Awaiting your hate-filled response.

With love,

Phonon

dlkoncepts: Idiot, Under what faculty do you group Zoology? I'm less concerned abt ur opinion, U're daft & mentally retarded. Excuse me?
