Another reminder of how far we have failed in Nigeria;
We have failed to harness our resources
We have failed to look inward
We have failed to provide the enabling ground for our resourceful citizens to express their potentials
We have failed to appreciate what we are blessed with
We have failed to let go of ethnic consciousness and nepotism
We have failed, we have have failed

We have what it takes to stop this failure.

So, did they give you "Tattoo Permit'?

Complete rubbish. So where are your responsibilities?

Way back in 1983, I took up the challenge and toasted Fausat that my cousin/roommate earlier asked our 'big girl neighbor' to call for him. My cousin had disappeared when he saw Fausat approaching and our 'big girl neighbor' was annoyed that we were falling her hand. I rose to the challenge, toasted the girl and to my great relief, she said "No". I was hailed that Saturday afternoon for being a big guy.
I was actually relieved that the girl said 'No" because it was plain suicide if my dad (a teacher and disciplinarian) who traveled home for the weekend ever found out. I thought the matter was rested but little did I know that my wahala was just starting.

The next day being Sunday, I was inside our room with my two cousins/roommates when Fausat showed up at our window smiling. before I could answer her greetings, my cousins disappeared from the room and I started shivering.

Fast forward to week days, we were sitting with my Father at the courtyard when our landlady's erratic last-born (daughter), blunted out "I will tell Teacher (my father's nickname) that you married Fausat'. I think I actually died. It was the landlady that shushed her up but urs truly had died or heart failure already.

Many escapades back in the days, enough to write a book. Thanks Op for this topic.

So long she didn't or do not try to hurt me, why not?
Solid, liquid or gaseous reasons not withstanding, redefine the friendship and move on.

Third Class is a grade like any other.
Ask yourself how many 1st & 2nd class graduates end up working for stark 'illiterates' who never had reason(s) to bother with grade?

No Dulling, no time to waste time.

Hahahahahaha she was expecting a big party abeg bring the ring come there joor

You do not belong to that 'hypocritical church' but do belong to God through Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of our faith.

Lessons;

Guys - Never give out what you cannot let go

Gals (& Guys) - Never hand your opponent, friend, ally etc, a weapon he can use against you. 'I will never go against you (whereas he retains the
ability), 'over my dead body' (many die daily even b4 their death i.e people change) etc is only guided by time. We all know time
changes

All - If there is anything constant with people, it is change.

Probably a driver conveying produce, all in efforts to make ends meet and take care of his family in this ever hard Nigeria.
What is the point in killing him?

First go and find out how many handsome men the girls and in love with and what position you really occupy in their hearts. You can thereafter come for counsel.

May the Almighty God clean and cleanse you of hate.

He has always bin ugly .
Is that really his wife?
Or his grand mother... Na question o

Maybe publicly private

O lord am going crazy
For real am going crazy
Don't ask, am going crazy
Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!
Kia, Kia, kilo so,
Were, Were! Were! Were!
Crazy, crazy crazy


*** Na the name of the hairstyle be that (U sing it)

And you have the temerity to place a private chat with your parent on a public media for assessment, abi? If mama see am now and ask another round of questions like; she orie kpe shall?? etc What will you say then?

Pray she doesn't get to see this ooo

Could be for a number of reasons.
- Can they afford you?
- What would it take to convince you to cross over?
- They also don't want to overprice you. E.G U apply for the job of Team Lead, Marketing in a Corporation while you are a presently Manager on 120k monthly salary on another organization. But the available position is expected to be filled by the grade of Assistant manager (250 monthly), Deputy Manager (350k monthly) up to Manager (500k monthly).
They will find your present salary and if u are considered good enough, negotiate with you on the basis of salary. U may get employed as an Assistant manger with N250k i.e 100k above your present job whereas you could have gotten more than that on the same job.

- Will the new package not overwhelm you? (Recall Globacom placed an advert sometime back and set a minimum present salary limit that are
qualified to apply)
- Integrity test (Know a a few guys that eventually lost a new job because they lied about their previous grade and salary)

*** Tell the truth if you are interested enough in the prospective.
*** Convince them that you the addition they need to meet the desired end
*** Price yourself - they need you and you are available but at a certain minimum cost

Best of luck always Pal.

A confirmation that the Senator did graduate from ABU
A repudiation of the libelous accusation
A confirmation that SR accusation(s) were motivated by, and based on several factors but certainly not on truth and fair hearing
A victor has thus emerged in this issue if this post by SR is true; Senator Dino
SR may end up the vanquished

Except for bigotry and hypocritical foolery, why should the govt raise this issue with Dino?

So is she trying to make up for 'lost time'? That day might come, though I pray it doesn't, when you will blame the very 'devil' (actually your careless self) that pushed you to write this in the first place.

He must have been a poor shooter cos I can't imagine a pro shooter with pump action and double barrel in both hands being killed in a gun duel.

Very wrong combo. The guy met his end and that is it,

How smart you are, or how smart you are prepared to be is what counts and not necessarily your present grade. Tony Elumelu and many others
didn't leave school with 'good' grades but it didn't hold them back.

By the way, what grade (and from what school) has Dangote? Mind you, 1st class graduates and even professors would do anything to be in his employ.

So pick a career or trade/biz, be ready to start from the bottom if that is the only way to get in, and show all that encounter you that the BSc grade does not define you in any way.

God be with you bro.

Good and enjoyable marriage abounds dear. You will get yours.

Na wa oo... To marry sef dey fear person

Suppose the gentleman (why name him dwarf?) was a billionaire, do you think our 'classy' lady would have done same?

How I wish we can invest this same level of energy, 'diligence' and commitment in investigating the rot in our Nation.

The foolery of the average Naija guy's psyche.
When did the amount spent account for how wealthy you are?
Spend! spend! spend! and spend!
When are we going to start investing and creating jobs?

Too sad if you think about it deeply.

Frank Nweke Jr nailed it

No big deal. If your were already 'sure' of the answer why ask? We all know that a proposal may or may not be accepted. The guy probably picked the wrong place to ask.

A reminder that no one really own him life but God. May the Almighty God show him mercy in Jesus name.

If true, arrange to short it down on next visist

na like this e dey start o. i could remember helicopter supplying stuffs to boko haram too

To do what?
What day or time should they go to Amadioha shrine, Olokun, Ayelele etc.
Religious tolerance is the way to go but it must not require patronage.

Rollsnjaguar:
That's how it should be, Christians should go to Mosque on Fridays and Muslims should go to Church on Sundays. This Will promote religious tolerance

Tragic and a terrible reflection of our unity.
