I generally term all commercial artist as Andrews liver salt cos most of them dnt last long.

I dey tell u ma guy!

For years, this Nigerian artiste thrilled us with bunches and dozens of trash! Many Nigerians actually spent this time dancing to his 'beats' filled with meaningless statements as lyrics!!! . It became so annoying when people who know nothing about good music and the generes of music in general started referring to TerryG as a hip-hop artiste!!! What an insult to hip-hop!!! Though, that didn't disturb me much because I know a lot of Nigerians don't even know how to classify music/songs.

When TerryG started this music thing some years back, he was producing and doing RnB. According to him, he wasn't selling records; he decided to 'commercialize' not only his songs but also his life. He introduced all he could into his music...flagrant display of weed smoking, drinking, celestial church bell ringing (Akpako) and other stuffs. After that, he became popular and was riding on the wings of commercial music. For TerryG, the sky was the only limit! .

Today, the irrelevance of this artiste in the Nigerian music industry is very clear; in fact, it is as clear as DSTV!!! . The young man doesn't have anything else to talk about; his weed, drink, Mr bling bling, bell ringing and other stuffs have not been able to save him. That is what is obtainable when one commercializes his music and loses his talent in the process!!! No matter how commercial you go, always remember to keep your talent intact. I know so many Nigerian artistes that are no longer heard after a short time because they either lost their talent or lacked real talent in the first place I believe Wizkid, Davido and some other music folks would still be in the limelight even in years to come because they still retained elements of their talent and sanity musically! As far back as year 2000, I was nodding my head to songs by the likes of Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, etc. Today, it may interest you to know that I am still doing that...and proudly too. Why? It is because they do commercial music but still retained their talent! They do music that suit the American populace, even down to Asia and Africa!!!

Nigerian artistes should learn how to be creative to stay relevant! It is not all about dishing out beats and crazy senseless lyrics to members of the public!!! Where is D'Smart that dis that song about pikin that wanted to drink small stout? No where to be found because he lacked real talent. He was only there to pick the few Naira notes he could while the fake fame lasted!

Recently, some artistes have reared their heads from no where and have started dishing out meaningless trash to the public. Let's see if the 'Share the gala, share the cake' artistes will still be relevant in the industry in the next two years!!!

I don't believe this crap! The creatures must have been killed in the forest by a hunter! It is not possible to find two reptiles together in a room! And Op said they were killed with slippers? People believe all sort of crap on Nairaland!!!

Thanks! Me appreciate!

Lagmostkuit, am seeing you viewing this topic!

More often than not, many guys fall for prepared and packaged scam as romantic affairs on social media platforms and even in offline situations! Below are some ways to identify that romantic affair of yours as a well processed, packaged and delivered scam!!! :

1) Their profile picture looks too posh for their personality. She tells you that she is a student of Ibadan Polytechnic but her profile carries the picture of an African-American model! It is either you are dealing with a male like you or a female who is using 'beauty' and 'sexiness' to scam you! Google pictures of African-American models and you might just find out that your 'babe's profile picture' is there!

2) They claim to be older or younger than their profile picture. This is because they don't know the actual age of the person's photo they are using! Lol!!!

3) They always have weird usernames containing "4real" or "4luv" on media platforms

4) They are very quick to address you with pet names such as 'baby', 'sweetie', 'honey pie', 'my love, 'my baby', 'my boo' and the rest not minding the fact that you guys just met!!! See scam o!

5) They over use emoticons even when it is not necessary! Most times you send 'her' an instant message, 'she' uses emoticons to reply. They are not sure of what to say; they just use that to buy more time.

6) They avoid giving straight answers to questions that have to do with their personal life and aspirations!

7) They will never allow you to visit. Instead, they would request you send them money to visit you! The moment you fall for this, you will wait endlessly while day-dreaming of big buttocks and boobs! Sex-starved and love-ravaged guys always fall for this scam! Before you know, deh go use your money take press or see front!

8. To them, love equals financial assistance. If you do not send them money or help them out with what they ask, you do not love them.

9) They claim to love you either immediately or within 24-48 hours. Na wa o! Na so love dey quick?

10) If you catch them on an inconsistency, they will claim a friend or relative must've been using their id to chat with you, they will always try to come up with a coverup and of course, you are always wrong or mistaken.

You too can add yours!!!

Ekpekus:
7. Avoid any kind of quarrelling or fight at all cost.

Police nor wan know who is right or wrong

Lol bro! Even 'two fighting' dey write statement for station o!

MKO4ever:
6) Avoid driving with incomplete vehicle papers

Yes, that's very correct!

Abegi bros....u hit dah nail on d head......better safe dan sorri...

I dey tell you! Voom better pass statement o!

It is no longer news that during festive seasons such as Christmas and New Year, members of the Nigerian Police go on what I call 'arrest spree'. It doesn't matter whether you are involved in a crime or not because you might eventually find yourself cooling off in any of the numerous police cells scattered all over the country!!! 'Abeg' or 'Nor be me do am' nor dey for police dictionary!!! For Nigerian Police, everyone seems to be a criminal during festive periods, especially, 'the Ember months' After all, police man wife and children must wear Christmas clothes and deh must eat Christmas chicken too! Below are ways you can avoid wasting useful money for better purposes on unwarranted police case:

1) Avoid roadside drinking spots: This is surely one place police officers target during this season! You might end up in cell and waste hard-earned cash trying to bail yourself while 'legally' trying to enjoy yourself in a bar. The police would always give reasons and excuses why they invaded the drinking spot...'We are looking for a criminal' and 'We suspect criminal activities here' are common reasons!!! Don't fall a victim. Rather, enjoy yourself in a bar located in a peaceful hotel/motel.

2) Always go out with an Identity card: This could be school, work or organisation ID cards. Nigerian Police are quick to label you as a 'criminal' or person of questionable character when you fail to produce an identity card at their request. Carrying an identity card can save you the stress of parting with your hard-earned 10k or even 20k!!!

3) Avoid call-girls joints: Abeg, by all means avoid Olosho joints! This one is for guys! This is one place members of the police target too. During 'ember months', police officers tend to raid brothels and red-light districts! If you are not careful, that 3-minute enjoyment on top one of those babes can take you directly to a 'comfortable cell' in Area F!!! . Police go use your money buy goat and kill this Xmas!

4) Avoid moving late in the night: This is one sure way of avoiding police arrest and cells during these ember months. The truth is that these officers might not have time to listen to your explanations whether genuine or not. You want to explain the fact that you are returning from a friend's bachelor's night or from the club? Biko, save that for the birds!!! By the time they shove you into their van like a bag of salt, you go know say na too much groundnut oil make puff-puff shine pass buns!

5) Avoid walking in group of 'Not-too-sure friends': You can never be too sure of what some people you see as 'friends' do or move about with. I know how many times I have walked past police officers in the city of Enugu in areas where police mostly arrest people...but I wasn't arrested because I was walking alone. There are two things here; first, when you walk in groups, you are only sure of yourself and not the other people. Some other persons might be moving with implicating substances or materials such as knife, dagger or marijuana. If anyone is caught in the group you are moving with, be sure that you all would be cooling off in cell within the shortest possible time! Don't forget that your innocence can easily go to the dogs in this case!

5) Avoid visiting friends where hard drugs are sold and taken: Unless you take hard drugs, which you must be ready to dance to the music when you are caught, do not visit friends or anyone close to where they sell and take drugs such as marijuana, skunk, etc. Places like this are clear targets for men of the police force. They would definitely raid places like this to make arrests and generate income for themselves through bail and settlement. If you are caught close to the scene, you are automatically a drug addict, even without evidence. 'If to say I know' nor dey inside this one o!

Avoid unnecessary movements that can bring you and your family embarrasment these ember months by being precautious!

You too can add yours!

Who Okowa help?

Many of you with little or no knowledge of how certain systems work just trade blames without thinking. If there is no knowledge, at least there should be some thinking.

You must be a very stupid person! Did u not see where I said 'mistakenly'? Why u dey carry body up? Where are u in ur career? U were probably battling with passing JAMB when I was writing my Masters Degree thesis!!! Useless goat!!!

MTN na thief!!! Sometimes, they send you messages that don't go to your inbox but appear on the screen of your phone. The moment you mistakenly press the 'Ok button', sorry bro, your 30 or 50 Naira dor go!!! . Orue!!!

Quantifying your achievements on a resume is very important since employers do not make important hiring decisions based on qualifications only.
Fresh graduates often struggle with how to quantify their accomplishments.

However, achievements aren’t only about big numbers – anything that contributes to the company’s goals is an achievement. Even as an intern or fresh graduate, changing a process to improve the ease or speed of a task is an achievement.

You should be able to find some achievements from your course or work experience. It is easy to impress the interviewer with examples of increasing profits, decreasing costs or streamlining processes.

When asked about achievements, don’t say clichés answers like: I got 2:1 or I got a driver’s license. Having a degree is hardly going to make you stand out from the crowd. Ideally, you would want to mention something tangible which you can measure e.g. if you raised money for charity, how much did you raise in the end?

As with competency based interviews, you should aim to use the STAR technique.

*Situation: give the interviewer some context – describe the situation and why the achievement was significant. Why was it difficult to achieve?

*Task: what specifically did you aim to achieve?

*Action: explain what your specific actions were to achieve that goal.

*Result: make sure it is specific. If you’ve saved time or money or received great feedback – say it.

If you’re still struggling to come up with something, think about whether you’ve done any of these:

Trained for and finally completed a marathon or other sporting achievement, set up a new student society or turned a struggling one into something more successful, overcame a fear by completing something you were frightened of; gave a presentation at an event and got over public speaking worries, raised a certain amount of money for charity, helped others to succeed, for example, by teaching them a new skill

Here are some sample achievements for a fresh graduate:

Worked as a part of a team of students who created a multi-media campaign that increased student enrollment by 45%, named Class Representative during final year at college, owing to consistently acquiring A grades and exceptional personal conduct, streamlined university admissions office procedures by introducing centralized online enrollment procedures, received eight awards for drama and music during the three years spent at university, attained the Dean’s Award for Excellence, following distinctions in five languages and three sports. You can choose a professional achievement that’s related to the role, such as exceeding sales targets in your part-time job, but you don’t have to – it’s more important that it’s an achievement you’re genuinely proud of. Good luck!
