Jobs/VacanciesRe: KPMG Aptitude Test Invitation by Phonon: 4:20pm On Jan 17, 2013
The word relationships one would find in the Verbal Section of the old GRE eg WRITE:PAPER;antonyms and synonyms(suggest you get word lists from Barron's or Kaplan GRE or a good thesaurus);sentence completion;critical reasoning as one would find in GMAT;basic mathematics whose difficulty is similar to that found in GMAT and GRE (old or revised).With enough practice,it should be a ride in the park.DO NOT LISTEN TO THOSE WHO GIVE THE IMPRESSION IT IS DIFFICULT.Just practice.
Xcesmoni: @phonon pls do you have inside infkk on the test details pls.like the synonym part? Thanks

PoliticsRe: Sanusi Calls For Ban Of CAN, JNI, ACF, Afenifere by Phonon: 9:30am On Jan 16, 2013
I am wondering how Sanusi is 'hitting' the polity.Did he use a heavy stick to 'hit' it on the head?I'm lost here.
kingingkinging: THE MAN IS IS ONLY BRILLIANT ACADEMICALLY BUT NEITHER INTELLIGENT NOR WISE.

AS A MALLAM(TEACHER OF QURAN OR A DEVOUT MUSLIM) HE BELONGS TO ONE POLAR END OF THE RELIGION AND ANYTHING HE SAYS WOULD BE SEEN IN THAT LIGHT. HE SHOULD LEARN HOW TO TALK REASONABLY.

EVEN IF HE HAS A GOOD POINT, PEOPLE WILL NEVER TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY BECAUSE OF HIS ETHNO-RELIGIOUS AFFLIATION.
HAUSA CALLING FOR A BAN OF AFENIFERE;
MUSLIM CALLING FOR A BAN OF CAN;
MUSLIM TALKING ABOUT JAIZ BANK OR ISLAMIC BANKING;

HE IS JUST HITTING THE POLITY.

I think you should call them.I had to hound them for days before they finally decided to send me a mail saying I passed the manager interview stage and I will be contacted 'shortly' for the next stage.Still waiting till the end of the day and tomorrow I will call Kunle from HR.

Mo creations: Also had manager interview in Audit in Dececember. The wait is getting so long. I'm really hoping in hope.
@ Phonon, were you sent an update on the status of your manager interview via email afterwards?
Guys already in there, would u advice me to call the 'Hr' to know the status of my last interview and when I can be
I can be scheduled for the partner interview?

Had my first two interviews in December 2012 for audit.Waiting to be called for Partner Interview.The HR guy told us then that the positions for audit would be filled by this month so one expects to start latest beginning of next month.Keeping fingers crossed.

PoliticsRe: Patrick Obahiagbon Is Oshiomhole's New Chief Of Staff by Phonon: 6:24pm On Nov 14, 2012
Patrick's appointment is very welcome.The fragrance of his floral verbiage and the incandescence of his inarticulate verdical posture rekindles in many the embers of our nationalistic sentiment and it would be a complete travesty of justice and a sadistic plot of diabolical mesmerism for anyone to think he doesn't deserve this.

Let the era of Patrick's gibberish RESUME.....
PoliticsRe: What's Your Opinion On Dr. Doyin Okupe by Phonon: 9:59am On Nov 13, 2012
TRY TO UNDERSTAND SARCASM.
Mustay: Please 'person' find out when to use 'what' and 'who' - 'what' is for non-living things in that context while 'who' is for living things. iHiss

@Topic -

DOYIN OKUPE imo is the man that keeps government in the news and instead of endearing government's actions to the people, he seems to be very professional at causing more harm to an already 'harmed' image of a government than good.

He sometimes says the right things at the wrong times and I align with the Senate + Rep's media rep view that he should be careful of his utterances. Abati is actually not a noise maker, hence the man has lived up to his name as an 'attack dog' - the government seems to believe it needs to bombard unconvincing views/arguments on the people through him.


iBet a man called Jonathan would have done a better job than him. tongue
PoliticsRe: "Lagos To Issue Residents Identity Cards By January 2013" Fashola by Phonon: 1:17pm On Nov 10, 2012
Soon 'illegal immigrants' would be branded with numbers and given arm bands with the Star of Tinubu on it and then shipped off to concentration camps.Most of the investment in the state is owned by people who came from outside the state.This is an ill-advised decision that would create our own apartheid system where some people would be considered second-class citizens.THIS IS THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA NOT ACN REPUBLIC.
CareerRe: The Top 10 Best Companies To Work For In Nigeria by Phonon: 6:58pm On Jun 24, 2012
That list is severely flawed.Anyway,what do I know?This is my personal list of top companies to work for in Nigeria and it is based on career progression,good remuneration(including pension,health benefits etc),brand value and meritocracy.This list is not exhaustive and is in no particular order.

1.Mckinsey & Co.
2.Accenture
3.Citibank
4.Ericsson
5.GE
6.Aviat Networks

I am excluding oil and gas companies because I think the only attractive point is the huge wages.Career progression is slow if not non-existent.

It is pathetic that another country is showing more interest in tackling BH than we who it affects most.Of course,the US is trying to protect its national interests but what are we even doing to tackle these idiots.We are tired of headlines such as these:
GEJ CONDEMNS BOMB ATTACKS

PRESIDENT VISITS SCENE OF BOMB ATTACKS.

PRESIDENT VOWS TO CRUSH BH.

We want headlines such as these:

COURT GIVES 5 TOP BH SPONSORS THE DEATH PENALTY.

CIA DRONES KILL 500 TERRORISTS IN NIGERIA'S NORTH.

NORTHERN LEADERS ISSUE COMMUNIQUE CONDEMNING BH.

Things like that...
Science/TechnologyRe: Nigeria Will Send Astronauts To Space By 2015 - Minister by Phonon: 1:17am On May 19, 2012
These idiots are here again.Astronauts?I am sure the Minister and his entourage would want to be on the space shuttle(10 million year from now) including members of the National Assembly, leaving no room for the 'astroNUTS'.The number of 'astroNUTS' would have to be six,one representing each geo-political zone so as to reflect 'Federal Character'.I no fit laugh abeg.This country is a hindrance to itself.
Nairaland GeneralBeauty For Iq! by Phonon(op): 12:50am On May 19, 2012
Some people have the brain and don't have the looks while some other persons have the looks but not the brain.Everyone would crave having both beauty(handsomeness for guys) and brains;that is a killer combination.Let's assume you are very pretty or handsome but not that bright.WOULD YOU TRADE 60% OF YOUR LOOKS FOR THE IQ OF EINSTEIN,DA VINCI AND MOZART COMBINED?
