Politics / Re: General Ironsi And Lt Colonel Fajuyi The Day Before They Were Killed (Photo) by pimper24: 9:39pm On Dec 31, 2018
gidgiddy:
On the 29th of July 1966, Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi, the Military Head of state, stopped over in Ibadan as part of a Nationwide tour. He was recieved by Lt Colonel Fajuyi who was Military Governor of the Western Region. Before this visit, Ironsi had been warned several times that Northern elements in the Nigerian Army were planning a counter-Coup to which Ironsi dismissed as 'mere rumour'. After Ironsi and Fajuyi had conducted several meeting and consultations, both men retired to Government House for the night. Early in the morning the next day, a detachment of Soldiers led by Major Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma surrounded Government house Ibadan. On sensing the danger outside, Ironsi hid his son, Thomas Ironsi, in a wardrobe before the Soldiers forced their way into Government House. Ironsi, Fajuyi, Ironsi's ADC Captain Nwankwo and Fajuyi's ADC Lt Bello were all arrested. The four men were taken to a thick forest on the outskirts of Ibadan, off Iwo road. Because Lt Bello was a Northerner, he was released while Nwankwo, Fajuyi and Ironsi were badly beaten. When Fajuyi could no longer stand on his two legs, he was gunned down. It was during the shooting of Fajuyi that Lt Bello created a distraction which helped Captain Nwankwo to escape. Thereafter, Ironsi was also executed.

As part of the Aburi agreement, Ironsi's body was later flown to the East where he was given a state burial in his hometown Umuahia. People openly chanted at Ojukwu to pull the Eastern Region out of Nigeria during the burial proceedings.

Ironsi's ADC, Captain Andrew Nwankwo, escaped from Ibadan back to the East and would later fight on the Biafran side during the war. He later became a Senator representing Ebonyi state.

Lt Bello who helped him escape died in the war

Thomas Ironsi would later become a minister under the regime of Obasunjo.

Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma who killed Ironsi would later become Chief of Army Staff. He retired from the Army in 1979 and went on to become Chairman of Nestle Nigeria. He was appointed Defence minister during the regime of Obasunjo and is today a billionaire Oil mogul.

Car Talk / Re: Pope's ₦82m Lamborghini Huracan Supercar Could Be Yours For As Little As ₦3,650 by pimper24: 8:09am On Dec 20, 2018
[quote author=obafemee80 post=73985710]



Remember Pope Francis's custom-built 2018 Lamborghini Huracan coupe that was auctioned for over $800k or 4 times its retail price back in May?

According to Lamborghini, the final bidder at the Sotheby’s auction failed to pay the agreed $861575 price.

Now you have the chance to win your dream car through a fundraising raffle draw by donating a minimum of $10 in order to enter the contest according to Omaze.

And if you happen to be the lucky winner, you and a guest will head to the Vatican to receive the keys to your new car during a private ceremony with Pope Francis and Lamborghini’s CEO, Stefano Domenicali.Flights and hotel included.

The proceeds from a fundraising raffle will still go to rebuilding war torn villages ,assist victims of human trafficking , provide medical care and education to those riddled with poverty.





So with as little as $10 (N3650), you too can be a winner of the blessed rear-wheel-drive Lamborghini Huracan that has the strength of 573 horses and a top speed of 198 mph (320 kmph). It will go from zero to 62 miles per hour in just 3.4 seconds .

What do you think?

Health / Stem Cell Therapy: Secret Of Buhari's Surprising Rejuvenation Revealed by pimper24: 10:02pm On Dec 09, 2018
It has been gathered that President Buhari was treated with Stem Cell during his last Hospital visit in London. The source stated that the amazing instant positive effect of Stem cell therapy is yet to be realized by several people.
The sudden recovery of the president that also led to his transformation to a much younger person is exactly what Stem cell therapy does to the body. Recall that this has led to serious insinuations that a body double of the president on a much younger person has been acting in his stead.

NaijaTechGuy:
A few years ago Gionee was a strong force to reckon with in the Nigerian mobile sector and for a really long time we haven't heard from them , no new devices, nothing at all . The big question on our minds is :

What Really Happened To Gionee Mobile?



Gionee has been facing a tough time over the past few months and is almost on the verge of bankruptcy.

The company has been facing financial woes in China, and if the latest report is to be believed, Gionee is considering filing for bankruptcy. There is also a possibility of liquidation after the company failed to pay financial creditors, marketing firms and about 400 suppliers.

According to reports from Beijing Youth daily, Gionee is on the verge of bankruptcy after owning money to financial institutions, suppliers, advertising and marketing agencies. Gionee currently owes $2.45 billion. And the chairman of Gionee “Liu”, had earlier lost CNY1 billion while gambling with the company assets.


Gionee, which ranked behind Apple in sixth place for handset sales in China last year, is now on the verge of bankruptcy restructuring as suppliers have halted component sales after failing to receive payments for several months, according to the report.

Liu admitted in the interview that Gionee’s total debts amount to 17 billion yuan($2,447,065,000), with 10 billion yuan($1,439,450,000) of this owed to banks, 5 billion yuan($719,725,000) to upstream suppliers and about 2 billion to advertising agencies.

If restructuring is not a viable option, Gionee will go into liquidation. This probably is the reason why you haven’t been seeing new devices from the company lately.m

https://www.naijatechguy.com/2018/11/what-happened-to-gionee.html
little wonder they can't help replacing the panel of my m6 mirror. Anyone with alternative help should pls indicate. I really love that phone and can sue Gionee for breach of trust, and file to be made a beneficiary in the bankruptcy suit.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: 9 Words/phrases That Will Ruin Your Cover Letter by pimper24: 1:57pm On Nov 21, 2018
24hoursreporter:
The Cover Letter is one of the most important documents a job applicant uses to market himself in the Labour Market. As a matter of fact, it helps to show you off and captivate the attention of a recruiter to your application.

According to expert, a cover letter is like a movie trailer that teases a recruiter to keep reading your resume. In fact, it will make any employer be so interested in you that they want to meet you in person.

Therefore, whenever you write a cover letter, you must pay attention to details and be very professional. A good cover letter will simply tell interesting and breathtaking stories about you.

The Cover letter is so important that you shouldn’t try to blow it off with little mistakes. In this article, we will show you the 9 words/phrases that will ruin your cover letter.

In fact, if you add any of these words/phrases in a cover letter, the letter will become counterproductive. So, read the tips below carefully and start rewriting your cover letter right away.

9 Words/Phrases That Will Ruin Your Cover Letter

#1. To Whom It May Concern

One of the words/ phrases that will ruin your cover letter is “To Whom It May Concern”. This phrase is too generic and it may not really capture the recruiter’s attention.

It is advisable to do further research before applying for the job. You can use LinkedIn to search for the recruiter of the company you are applying to.

However, when you can’t get the exact name of the recruiter, you can be creative and come up with another unique and less popular phrase. This will always grab the recruiter’s attention.

#2. “Thinking Outside The Box”

I am sure you know that recruiters receive countless cover letters daily. The most annoying part of this is that most of the cover letters have similar style and formats.

According to a Recruiter we spoke with recently, 14 out of every 15 cover letters have the phrase “Thinking outside the box”. To recruiters, this is so boring and annoying.

Whenever a recruiter sees a cover letter that is so fertile, promising with fewer buzzwords and boring phrases, they give it extra time. So, be creative with words and phrase whenever you are writing a cover letter.

#3. Insider Jargons

Insider jargons are also some of the words/phrases that will ruin your cover letter. Try to use professional words rather than jargons. Use phrases that will not stress your recruiter to understand.

#4. Claims Without Evidence

Many applicants claim to have experience in the role they are applying for. Sadly, they never provide evidence to back their claim. This can ruin your cover letter and make recruiters doubt the credibility of your story.

#5. “Love”

Love is another word applicants often use that can ruin their cover letter. Job seekers are fond of quoting statement like “I would really love to work in your company when given the opportunity”.

Instead of using the above statement, let the recruiter know that you are passionate about the job and how your passion for the role can affect your productivity positively.

#6. Lies

Telling Lies in your cover letter is something you should never do. As you will always let down the recruiter who hire you in future based on the lies on your cover letter.

Never talk about skills you don’t have or oversell yourself for a role you don’t have experience about. Telling lies in your cover letter will always create awkward situations in the future. In fact, you may even lose the job as you aren’t the candidate they were looking for.

#7. “Dynamic”

Dynamic is among the words/phrases that will ruin your cover letter. Don’t stuff your cover letter with common words like dynamic. Try to be more creative with words.

#8. Copy and Paste Your Details

Some job applicants basically duplicate what all the details on CV in their cover letter. This is actually a wrong practice that can ruin your cover letter.

Try to write details about you that aren’t reflected in your resume. This will make the cover letter more interesting to recruiters.

#9. “Self Starter”, “Detail Oriented” and “Forward Thinker”

These are also among the words/phrases that will ruin your cover letter. Experts call these words, “Frequent Offenders”. They are overused by applicants and have lost their values.

So, try to connect with recruiters in your cover letter rather than mere formality. You can say things that make you excited about the job, some of your recent activities that may interest the recruiters etc.

Crime / Re: Two Siblings, Dog Found Dead Inside Refrigerator In Lagos by pimper24: 11:56am On Nov 13, 2018
Ironside2007:
By Lolo Ayaba

Confusion and sadness on Sunday reigned at No. 2, Christian Onoja Street, Igbogbo in Igbogbo-Baiyeku Local Government Development Area of Lagos state when the family of Mr. and Mrs. Michel Ede discovered the bodies of two of their children, Emma Ede 6, and Darasimi Ede 4 years inside their parents’ refrigerator
It was gathered that the Michel Ede the father of the deceased children and his kids were observing their siesta in the afternoon in their apartment with the doors securely locked when the incident occurred. Unfortunately when he woke up at about 2:30PM she met the children inside a deep freezer.

A relative of Mr Ede, “the kids and their father were at home when the incident happened. When he woke up, he and didn’t find his kids he went outside to ask neighbours if they saw his children. His neigbhours said no that they haven’t seen them. They assisted him to search the neighbourhood for the kids but could not find them”.

According to the relative, “the father of the kids is always with the children anytime his wife isn’t around. After searching everywhere, he called his wife who wasn’t at home at the time of the incident. Immediately their mother rushed back from where she went to, she began to search for them inside their apartment. It was their mother that discovered their lifeless body inside the refrigerator.

It was learned that the children were found in perfect frozen condition, as it was clear that they had been there for some time. All efforts to revive them proved abortive, as they were confirmed dead on arrival by the doctor at Briggston Hospital in Selewu, Igbogbo, where the children were taken to.

the dog could have fallen into the fridge first while they are rough playing with it, then an attempt to rescue it will bring the first boy jumping in and not able to actually help, the second boy would have no option than to join them in the cold Cyber and, In the confusion created, the door would hqve been securely jammed and that's it. What a horrible death. May parent keep proper vigil on their kids and may God help all parents

This female Barber cuts mine and my sons' hair, narrates her ordeals dealing with male customers. She is expert and does pretty well in her chosen profession as she's very artistic and makes any customer glued to her services.

According to her, superstition among Nigerian men is her major challenge getting male customers. Many of the prospective customers would back out saying that it is abnormal for a woman that menstruates to touch their hairs in the name of cutting it.

Some would say they are crowned with titles that forbade women from touching their hairs while others simply say it could bring them some Ill luck or calamities.
In my attempt to sample opinion and get first hand information concerning what she said , majority of the men said that only their wives or mothers are the only females that could lay hands on their heads in the name of barging.
This is very pathetic .

Politics / Re: Kanu’s Disappearance, Resurfacing Prearranged By DSS – Uwazuruike by pimper24: 8:55pm On Oct 22, 2018
Ebullience:
By Chidi Nkwopara, OWERRI.
Ndigbo have been advised to treat the touted disappearance and resurfacing of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, as “a non-issue because it was carefully prearranged by the Department of State Security, DSS”.

The protagonist of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, and Biafra Independence Movement, BIM, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, stated this Monday, at a press conference in Owerri, to react to Kanu’s reappearance in Isreal and broadcast.

“Not many of his ardent followers truly know that Kanu is not sincerely working for the Independence of Biafra. His coming to Nigeria, his arrest, detention, trial, release on bail and his alleged disappearance and resurfacing, were all prearranged by the DSS”, Uwazuruike said.

It was the considered opinion of the MASSOB/BIM leader that if Mazi Kanu was sincere, he should have disclosed how he was spirited away from his Afara Ukwu country home, when the soldiers struck.

“How did he disappear from his country home? How did he survive the onslaught, even when he claimed that about 28 people were killed during the military operation in his home? How did he leave Nigeria and what document did he use to traverse all the nations before arriving Israel? We couldn’t have forgotten so soon that the DSS seized all his travel documents”, Chief Uwazuruike asked.

After giving a graphic account of the number of times he was arrested, detained and tried in court, Uwazuruike also reasoned that “a freedom fighter donates his life for the struggle he believes in.

“This is not the case with Nnamdi Kanu. Running away from the struggle means that he is a fake freedom fighter. This young man does not consult anybody and he has no adviser. Kanu erroneously believe that President Buhari can wake up any day and call for a referendum that is not even captured in the Constitution”, Uwazuruike said.

Continuing, the MASSOB/BIM boss recalled that “when Kanu was declared missing, I knew that it was a ruse”, stressing that “when Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State said that Kanu would resurface before the end of the year, he spoke from the point of knowledge and not speculation”.

Directing his mind to some of the directives issued by Kanu in his broadcast, Uwazuruike passionately appealed to Ndigbo to “completely disregard them”.

Answering a question, Uwazuruike said he was aware that the DSS conscripted Kanu to degrade MASSOB and it’s struggle
“Nnamdi Kanu is calling for effective boycott of elections, referendum and sit at home, which MASSOB/BIM abandoned long ago, because of its adverse effects on Ndigbo. These issues are not practicable and the young man does not and cannot have effective control over them”, Uwazuruike said.

While reiterating that Ndigbo disregard the directives, Chief Uwazuruike equally reasoned that “even if the people obey the order, the Nigerian Constitution empowers President Buhari to appoint anybody to run the affairs of any state, where elections were not held”.

Politics / Re: Nnamdi Kanu’s Appearance And My Apology To The Nigerian Army by pimper24: 2:53pm On Oct 21, 2018
bettercreature:
Wonders, as they say, shall never end in Nigeria. I am so ashamed of myself. So much so that I feel like disappearing from the surface of the earth upon watching the video of the “almighty Nnamdi Kanu” of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) praying in Jerusalem for misleading our people and absconding with his ill-gotten wealth. These are indeed lessons to be learned when we wipe up unnecessary sentiments in the polity. And also a reminder to us as a people that we should take our time to study the motives and actions of individuals mas querading themselves as religious and ethnic champions.go and run some edits on this rubbish to make it readable. Ewu

The Nnamdi Kanu’s case was quite an unfortunate episode when one realized how he deceived many people into believing he is the messiah they have been waiting for. He became a nuisance, and he is still one, and he gave out himself, not only as an ethnic champion, but he also arrogated himself a spiritual role in the lives of some members of the unsuspecting public.

In truth, I was one of those that fell for his gimmick. I recall that I rose stoutly in his defense when it was speculated that he had either been killed or whisked away by the Nigeria Army when it launched Operation Python Dance to curtail the excesses of armed groups and other vices in South East Nigeria. But little did I know that the so-called progenitor of the now proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) had perfected plans and indeed fled the country. So many questions are begging for answers in my head. And one of them is why he choose the dishonorable path of running away and leaving the people he was leading to their fate?

I am also hurt that his cowardly act left our people in sorrow and pains. He used them to enrich himself and family, and when the time came for him to stand for his people, he fled. What a shame. At this point, it would suffice to state that I indeed owe the Chief of Army Staff, and by extension the Nigeria Army an unreserved apology for my unwarranted and unverified vent of ignorance when it was speculated that Nnamdi Kanu had been whisked away. I also believe that other social commentators that also fell victim of Nnamdi Kanu gimmick and labeled the Nigeria Army in derogatory terms should also tender their unreserved apologies. Why this is necessary, you might want to ask.

It is essential because once upon a time, a certain man named Nnamdi Kanu instigated a national crisis that threatened the continued existence of Nigeria. He allegedly sought and received financial gratification from individuals, groups, and even countries that were against the progress of Nigeria. And only for him to flee. And that in itself caused a national crisis when various groups started a campaign of defamation against the Nigerian Army.I recall that the President General of Afaraukwu, his autonomous community, Chief Ikechukwu Nwabueze, revealed the community’s resolve to sue the Federal Government if they fail to produce their son, Nnamdi Kanu. If this is not the height of deceit and mischief, I do not know what to call it. I do hope he is ready to pay any sum that will be required by the Federal Government as compensation for blackmail.
It didn’t end there, a team of IPOB lawyers, led by Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, filed a suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja praying for an order directing the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, to produce Kanu in court. Because, Kanu was last seen after soldiers invaded the IPOB leaders house in Afara-ukwu Ibeku, Umuahia Abia State, “on a murderous raid, where life and mortar bullets were fired on an unarmed and defenseless populace, leaving 28 persons dead and abducting many”. If this is not the height of deceit, then what else is it?

Also worrisome was the fact that the hypocrisy of IPOB was taken too far and it came with consequences, such that would affect the sincerity of purpose on the people of the South East in the marginalization debate in the future.I say this because even with the knowledge of the promoters of IPOB that their leader had fled, they still went ahead to issue a statement indicating that the federal government may have killed Nnamdi Kanu. The statement at the time read that “IPOB and its leadership worldwide under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to bring to the notice of the whole world that the whereabouts of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and parents are still unknown to humanity since the attack in his compound last week. IPOB have been searching for our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and parents nowhere to be found since last week; we are challenging the Nigerian army and police to produce our leader Mazi Nnamdi since it is a prerogative right for him to make statement inform his confidants and teeming members all over the world about his condition.” This was the height of hypocrisy

I now wonder what the next line of action would be for IPOB and its promoters since their leader had resurfaced in Jerusalem instead of one of the detention camps of the Nigeria Army. Would they bury their heads in shame? Would they issue an unreserved apology to their unsuspecting followers whom they had deceived into believing in a cause that had turned out to be a scam? All of these are questions that must be answered if we are sincere with our selves.

Those that also stood as surety for him also lied under oath that the Nigerian Army had Nnamdi Kanu in its custody. They have committed perjury, and the law must take its cause in my opinion. There is also a new dimension to the whole saga with the fact that he was sighted in Israel after committing crimes against the state in Nigeria. What does that tell us? Does it explain the claims by regional neighbors that Israel trains, arms, and backs terrorists? This is a topic for another day.

With the unfolding drama, it is now evident that the agitation by IPOB was just a smokescreen to exploit his people. There was no iota of truth in all of his public posturing other than the fact that he saw an avenue to enrich himself and he took advantage of it. I am sure those South East leaders and elders under the umbrella of Ohaneze Ndigbo, that fell victim for his gimmick would be hiding their faces as it stands. But even as they do that, I think they should apologize to the Nigerian government, the Chief of Army Staff, and the Nigeria Army for the ignorant campaign of calumny it launched.

Wonders, as they say, shall never end in Nigeria. I am so ashamed of myself. So much so that I feel like disappearing from the surface of the earth upon watching the video of the “almighty Nnamdi Kanu” of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) praying in Jerusalem for misleading our people and absconding with his ill-gotten wealth. These are indeed lessons to be learned when we wipe up unnecessary sentiments in the polity. And also a reminder to us as a people that we should take our time to study the motives and actions of individuals mas querading themselves as religious and ethnic champions.go and run some edits on this rubbish to make it readable.

The Nnamdi Kanu’s case was quite an unfortunate episode when one realized how he deceived many people into believing he is the messiah they have been waiting for. He became a nuisance, and he is still one, and he gave out himself, not only as an ethnic champion, but he also arrogated himself a spiritual role in the lives of some members of the unsuspecting public.

In truth, I was one of those that fell for his gimmick. I recall that I rose stoutly in his defense when it was speculated that he had either been killed or whisked away by the Nigeria Army when it launched Operation Python Dance to curtail the excesses of armed groups and other vices in South East Nigeria. But little did I know that the so-called progenitor of the now proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) had perfected plans and indeed fled the country. So many questions are begging for answers in my head. And one of them is why he choose the dishonorable path of running away and leaving the people he was leading to their fate?

I am also hurt that his cowardly act left our people in sorrow and pains. He used them to enrich himself and family, and when the time came for him to stand for his people, he fled. What a shame. At this point, it would suffice to state that I indeed owe the Chief of Army Staff, and by extension the Nigeria Army an unreserved apology for my unwarranted and unverified vent of ignorance when it was speculated that Nnamdi Kanu had been whisked away. I also believe that other social commentators that also fell victim of Nnamdi Kanu gimmick and labeled the Nigeria Army in derogatory terms should also tender their unreserved apologies. Why this is necessary, you might want to ask.

It is essential because once upon a time, a certain man named Nnamdi Kanu instigated a national crisis that threatened the continued existence of Nigeria. He allegedly sought and received financial gratification from individuals, groups, and even countries that were against the progress of Nigeria. And only for him to flee. And that in itself caused a national crisis when various groups started a campaign of defamation against the Nigerian Army.I recall that the President General of Afaraukwu, his autonomous community, Chief Ikechukwu Nwabueze, revealed the community’s resolve to sue the Federal Government if they fail to produce their son, Nnamdi Kanu. If this is not the height of deceit and mischief, I do not know what to call it. I do hope he is ready to pay any sum that will be required by the Federal Government as compensation for blackmail.
It didn’t end there, a team of IPOB lawyers, led by Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, filed a suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja praying for an order directing the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, to produce Kanu in court. Because, Kanu was last seen after soldiers invaded the IPOB leaders house in Afara-ukwu Ibeku, Umuahia Abia State, “on a murderous raid, where life and mortar bullets were fired on an unarmed and defenseless populace, leaving 28 persons dead and abducting many”. If this is not the height of deceit, then what else is it?

Also worrisome was the fact that the hypocrisy of IPOB was taken too far and it came with consequences, such that would affect the sincerity of purpose on the people of the South East in the marginalization debate in the future.I say this because even with the knowledge of the promoters of IPOB that their leader had fled, they still went ahead to issue a statement indicating that the federal government may have killed Nnamdi Kanu. The statement at the time read that “IPOB and its leadership worldwide under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to bring to the notice of the whole world that the whereabouts of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and parents are still unknown to humanity since the attack in his compound last week. IPOB have been searching for our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and parents nowhere to be found since last week; we are challenging the Nigerian army and police to produce our leader Mazi Nnamdi since it is a prerogative right for him to make statement inform his confidants and teeming members all over the world about his condition.” This was the height of hypocrisy

I now wonder what the next line of action would be for IPOB and its promoters since their leader had resurfaced in Jerusalem instead of one of the detention camps of the Nigeria Army. Would they bury their heads in shame? Would they issue an unreserved apology to their unsuspecting followers whom they had deceived into believing in a cause that had turned out to be a scam? All of these are questions that must be answered if we are sincere with our selves.

Those that also stood as surety for him also lied under oath that the Nigerian Army had Nnamdi Kanu in its custody. They have committed perjury, and the law must take its cause in my opinion. There is also a new dimension to the whole saga with the fact that he was sighted in Israel after committing crimes against the state in Nigeria. What does that tell us?

Nigerian lecturers are very frustrating and annoying most times.

Whether you are still a student or a graduate, you must have had a very frustrating encounter with not less than 3 to 5 lecturers during your School days.

From uttering careless and belittling statements to punishing students for senseless reasons, Nigerian lecturers are the Most Wicked people on Earth
