Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Nigeria And Coded Employment Recruitment. by ritux: 1:46pm On Jan 04, 2015

chacoonder:
The situation is really pathetic, more reason why we have to vote out this regime.

Its not about this regime. It is done in western countries as well. Forget about the fact that it's a government job.

Just last month, a friend of mine was employed in my office and he receives 300k per month. My director was so in need of someone with engineering background for one of our projects and he asked me if I could refer someone. After much thinking about who could possibly fit because I won't want to refer someone who is not capable, I ask 3 of my colleagues who did msc with me in the UK to forward their CV. One of them got the job.

Now tell me how this is the fault of the present government?

Doing an "average" of 145km/hr. That means he may have reached 180km/hr. This must be an extract from a sci-fic novel

The highest I got to was 160 and immediately I noticed it, I dropped down to 140.

The road to my house in Abuja is really bad. I contemplated relocating in December but I had to change my mind because of the constant K light. In the last 12 months, we get power for an average of 21 house everyday apart from sometimes when the transformer goes bad.

Car Talk › Ladies What Is The Longest Distance You Have Driven A Car? by ritux(op): 5:04pm On Dec 30, 2014

This thread is for the female drivers in this forum. I will like to know the longest distance you have driven a car. Most times, we hardly see ladies on our highways driving long distance.

Now this is what prompted me to open this thread. I was travelling from Abuja to Warri few days back. I was driving a 2009 Camry. Somewhere around Gwagwalada, I overtook a 20‎11 Highlander which was pulling over. A lady was behind the wheels. I was driving at an average of 145km/hr. On getting to Lokoja, I pulled over to buy some onions. I spent roughly 6mins doing that. When I was putting the onions in my boot, the lady with the highlander passed me. Then I continued my journey. Just after Lokoja, heading towards Okene I got close to the lady. On getting to Okene town, I somehow overtook her. Immediately after Okene, she overtook me again. At this point, I was doing between 130Km/hr to 140Km/hr because it wasn't a dual carriage road. I followed her closely behind maintaining same speed but I could not overtake her. She was firing ahead. She was obviously doing same speed with me.

On getting to Benin bypass, she headed for the Lagos direction while I headed towards Warri. My guess is that she might be travelling to Lagos. This is the very first time I'm seeing a lady drive this long distance with such speed. Even my elder sister and my wife I consider rugged and good drivers because of the way they both drive haven't done such‎ a distance. My mom who taught me how to drive when I was in SS1 will not even think of driving that long distance.

So to the Nairaland ladies who drive, what is the longest distance you have driven and also your average speed?

Travel › Re: AirAsia QZ8501: Forty Bodies Found In Missing Plane Search by ritux: 1:46pm On Dec 30, 2014

RIP to the dead and may God comfort the families they left behind.

I don't know if the plane crashed in air or it just went down into the sea. I understand the flight route was through the sea between the departing airport and the destination airport.

If the plane did not crash i.e burst into flames while in air, why didn't the pilot advice them to use the life jacket under the seats and jump into the sea. Since I have been flying, I have never checked under the seat to see if there is actually a life jacket there (I must check during my next local or international trip).

Also, if the pilot knew the plane was going down and also going to crash, I think they should have done that.

Anyways, this is just my own thinking. Aviation experts will know better.

Romance › Help, Pregnant After A One-night Stand by ritux(op): 5:32pm On Dec 27, 2014

Dear Bunmi,

At a recent family wedding reception at my brother-in-law’s house, I had a really drunken night with a few family friends, including my brother-in-law. Things got out of hand and we ended up having sex in a spare room in his house, I regretted immediately as I’m very happy with my husband.

We have two children and are planning for the third. Now, I’ve just discovered I’m pregnant and there is a good chance my brother-in-law could be the father.

Should I discuss this with him before I tell my husband?

My dear op, life must be hard enough for this young man, and I think you should not make it harder. As long as the guy has not turned up at your doorstep with a gun, you should cut him some slack. If you really wanted to help him, get him a job and fix him up to a responsible lifestyle, rather than thinking of getting him arrested for begging. Haba!!!

Do u know the difference between begging and extortion in pretence?

mrvictor:
OP, Don't try that suggestion above o! That guy fit rob or attack you o.
He appears desperate and may be working with a gang. As a man with criminal intent, he sees you as a complete stranger/intruder, and may consider taking you out of his business.
Also be careful how you track and chase him especially if you are not a trained force person, otherwise, you may need to involve the police/SSS.

Thanks! You are very right. I won't even go after him again when next I see him. Someone also said he saw this same guy in Kaduna

@original poster: With the way you always meet this guy in different places, dont you think God wants you to do something?.
Next time you see him, be kind to him, make him your friend and try to know his problem. If you can render any lasting help to him, pls do.
Let God use you to change a life. Be part of his testimony

majekdom2:
what inference do we make from situations ?how are these two related? you know this guy in your area , do you know the guy that stands on the road . the guy that begged from you , is he mobile ?. has he a car ? come on . well I can only agree if this guy is not the owner of that car . did that guy start up a business or he stopped begging from you . he may be begging from some other guys but has stopped begging from you . I had a friend in the uni who had close to a million in his account but begs from us his friends ? there is a difference btw a guy asking you directly and a guy decieving you into doing something.

I don't know what kind of advice you can give to this guy. He is just not wise. My office driver earns 80k per month and also overtime pay if he works later than 5pm and weekends. He has just O level. He has a volks golf he uses to do taxi sometimes after the close of work and also weekends. He also told me that on his way to work every morning, he picks people along the road heading towards his direction.

Now, my point here is that around May this year, he came to me asking me if the company can give him a little loan to be deducted from his salary on a monthly basis. I asked what he needed the loan for and he said he want to buy a small car he can use to do taxi after the close of work.

So if someone with secondary sch cert can think this way, I don't know why that guy can't do same and think likewise. That is if he actually went to uni and also was a corp member.

Me myself, when I was in uni, I had this audi 80 I was using. At a point, I had to look at the possibility of giving the car to a guy to use as campus shuttle to balance me 1k everyday he works.

Sometime ago, I informed you guyz of a guy disguising as a youth corper extorting money from people in the pretence that he has a faulty car. Back then, he was using some old looking Honda.

https://www.nairaland.com/1834264/experience-corper-abuja

In the month of November, I ran into this same guy again pretending that his car is bad on the road side and I pulled over and told him the next time I see him, I will arrest him...that was just a threat anyways.

Just this afternoon, I saw this guy again at Dawaki flyover bridge. For those of you familar with Abuja, I am talking about the flyover bridge you have to make U-turn if you intend going into Gwarinpa using Charley Boy/Galadima junction. This time around, he has changed his car to Toyota Camry with Reg Number DWG 194 AA

I had to find my way to park so I could take picture of him. On sighting me, he recognised my car from afar and then made move to get into his car. Immediately, I drove straight to him and parked in front of him. The next thing, he got into his car, reversed and entered into the service lane and drove off heading towards Kubwa. I trailed him from behind hoping I could get to a check point and alert police. On noticing that I was trailing him, he increased his speed. I wasn't in the mood to chase him and that wasn't my direction so I had to go my way. Please see pictures of the scene below.

We all should be watchful of this guy. This is xmas period and he is seriously hustling for money.

Why is this an issue? Besides, how much is Hummer ? Was it not someone that used the SUV as a casket and buried recently!

That aside, I remember in 1993, SDP (MKO Abiola) was campaigning using Helicopter and throwing down flyers. Besides, that SUV belongs to a member of PDP and after the elections, the stickers will be removed.

Did he know that you had a MSc from a U.K. varsity and went ahead to offer you such amount?
He knows very well because he saw my profile on linkedin with my previous working experiences.
What type of organisation was he the CEO?
It was a Project Consultancy and Contracting Company. He is the CEO
A large organisation?
Not too large but well above average.

I typed this cos some CEO like to test applicants' level of humility and perseverance!!
He wasn't testing me jare. He was damn serious. He even told me some people who are currently working with him for over 2years earn 80-120k and they do a lot of travel
He might just have been trying to size you up psychologically for the mega bucks and job ahead!!!

During my studies, I wasn't paying any bills because I was staying in school hostel and I already paid for that before I got there.

After my graduation, I got a room in a flat with some friends. I was paying 300 pounds per month inclusive of all utility bills + internet for my one room. I never had time to even watch TV because I was always working. All I think about was to make money before going back to Nigeria. The times I had to watch EPL, I had to go use my school library computer to stream online. Other times, I just go out to have fun or stay in my room watching Iroko TV.

Apart from the tax which is already deducted from my pay slip, I virtually pay nothing. I was making really good money. The only negative part is that I was not happy with the kind of jobs because I did not go to school because of that. My consolation was the money. I always get the money to pay for my accommodation working in just a week. The other 3 weeks pay goes straight into my account.
So my guy, 35k naira a month was not an option.
