Romance › Re: Why Do Very Smart (intellectual) People Suck In Romance? by rman: 3:23am On Dec 16, 2011
Nobody's romance sucks. What we try to do always is try to use a general standard for things like romance and beauty. It is not right and will never be.
So far all these high IQ/intelligent folks engage in relatioships, some married etc then it is safe to say they are indeed romantic.
What you and I may term not romantic may be the best romantic experience for someone somewhere.

If we assume the world population is evenly distributed on 365days in a year then mathematically, the months that has the most Birthdays will be months with 31days. January, March, May, July, August, October, December

Romance › Re: How Do I Regain Control Or My Relationship by rman: 7:11pm On Nov 21, 2011
onuora87:
@ sauer : am pweety sure it's not that am not showing her enough love. i think it's cos am showing her too much love and i unconsciously started doing that cos i couldn't meet up to some financial needs. but don't get me wrong am buying her gifts and all HONEST. i just don't know how all of a sudden she's gotten so ungrateful and disrespectful. My birthday was on the 7th and she didn't wish me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY until 4pm that day (and the sick thing is we slept in the same house and on the same bed) but last night she called some dude in my presence @ 12am and said she calling to make sure she was the first to wish him a Happy birthday. Am confused on so many levels cos her friends are like she really loves me but they don't know why she's acting up.

This is as disrespectful as it can get. Can't believe you still need advice after this very obvious
Signs in your post above. YOU NEED TO LEAVE HER ASAP!

@ slimyem: That's why am asking for advise cos no job seems to be coming my way. Can't i regain it without having a job? cos the thing is i still buy her gifts and give her money. I've asked her over and over again if she doesn't want to be in the relationship anymore and she says "ANYTHING U WANT IS OK BY ME", what do i do?

Guy you have been dumped already, she just wants you to feel responsible for the break up


@ basildon1: mate it goes beyond the financial issue ooh. but I'm not doing anything wrong that i know for sure and she doesn't want to talk. anytime i want to talk she just says "AM NOT REALLY IN THE MOOD". we have good day's but we can't go a day without an issue and i keep trying to prevent it but she just trigger's something. Am so in love with her i don't know what to do.


@ omega25red: that was deep but totally honest thanks.
Phones › Re: MTN Crashes Blackberry Price To N1500 For Full Package by rman: 12:57pm On Nov 17, 2011
uchesco:
@mbulela, it confuses me too o! (lol)  Seems to me like a vocal minority of MTN customers, plus people from other networks who would have loved to join MTN but are scared of its prices, combine to verbally thrash MTN online,  

Yet, they have 41 million customers(according to their last figures) and even have more BB users than other telcos!  huh

Maybe we should critically look at what they offer. Sometimes its not about how much they are giving, its how much you really need.

Again, maybe its because their network is relatively more stable than Airtel and Glo(maybe not Etisalat) I stand to be corrected.

Or maybe because everyone just hates BIG Business, and wants to beef for beefing sake, while they secretly love their guts grin

Whatever sha, I am renewing my BB subscription sha!
they are all mtn subscribers. thats why they can harldly wait to comment on any mtn thread. if truly, they have better deals on other networks they would not bothet to show any interest on mtn threads.
Education › Re: Is University Of Ibadan Any Better Than Covenant University? by rman: 9:17am On Nov 16, 2011
Ijogz K:
Now i need you guyz to get me clear on these, I didn't mention the kerosene thing to sound rude or insult anyone. My point exactly is "Why would anyone just hate Covenant University success, achievements and products for just no reason" The answer is simply Jealousy. Some months back you guyz were shouting 85first class graduates shows that our standard is low. Few months later, the so called almighty UI released 75, and you guyz kept quiet. You kept shouting that its a glorified secondary school, but they are now glorified employee's and employers in the labor market. You hate the Bishop because he is making a lot of money, But it just doesn't seem to stop cuz he is making more money. And the best of all is that we are all socially responsible including the ministry. So please don't get me wrong, am not proud nor rude.

There was an Eediot that mentioned N250k as Covenant School fee's hoping to feel among  grin, Mr Man am sure you must have been reading a lot of Lasu campus magazines and papers, Get yourself updated please. dats the only place synonymous to 250,000 presently. Outdated foooooool  grin
You should be ashamed of yourself. You didn't want to insult anyone but you can't help but end your response with the bolded. If this attitude is what CU is all about, then I am afraid the joke is on you. You have successfully made it a bad school.

Geds:
@op the fact that you've labelled all federal university students as people from poor families and have gone further to insult their parents by calling them lazy, shows you've had an education I do not envy, even if you studied at Harvard.
[color=#000099][/color]

I read all the pages before I saw your response. This is best reply to the OP so far. In his effort to make his school look good, he made people with deep thoughts realise his education in CU is a complete waste to the society. His kind of attitude shows he has nothing to offer and he definitely won't make a good leader.
Education › Re: Pictures Of A Primary School In Nigeria by rman: 5:22pm On Nov 12, 2011
There is not a single state that does not have at least 20 public primary schools that looks like the one BEAF posted. If we are indeed sincere with ourselves and drop this attitude of it is in the North, East, West or South attitude some of us may even discover the one right in our village just looks exactly like this.

The situation is indeed terrible in public primary schools. If you feel so passionate about your state as we all try to demonstrate on NL try to at least support one in your local government. BELIEVE ME THERE IS ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS THERE , MAY BE WORSE.
Politics › Re: The Worst State Capital You Have Visited by rman: 5:06pm On Nov 12, 2011
The states capitals I have been to in Nigeria (I have spent at least a week in all these places):
Ilorin
Ibadan
Ikeja
Lokoja
Osogbo
Sokoto
Maiduguri
Jos
Benin
Abeokuta
Lokoja
Kano
Kaduna
Akure
Ado Ekiti
Minna
Asaba
Bauchi
Port Harcourt

looking at my list, it is a close call between Lokoja and Ado Ekiti. Benin and Ilorin has no bussiness on anyones if we are indeed sincere

Career › Re: Would The University You Attend Determine Job Opportunities? by rman: 4:24pm On Oct 25, 2011
passyjango:
Why is it that in Nigeria when we talk about exposure, we often talk about exposure mostly bad and irrelevant things like prostitution, bribery, drinking, chasing women and get rich quick. Exposure goes beyond these, it could all so mean having a better idea of what life is all about and living it according to those principles.

For example, a girl who decides to keep her virginity may be considered as not being exposed in Nigeria. But it could be a matter of principle. She may have been exposed to circumstances that enabled her to form such principles or she may just have a higher level of understanding. So, a school does not need to be in the city for you to be exposed.

Just knowing how to satisfy a man or a woman does not make you exposed. Knowing all the latest dance steps or lyrics does not make you more exposed than those who don't, except you are pursuing a career in entertainment. All social activities add to your being a total human, but that does not mean that all your focus should be in them.

The exposure that counts as far as career is concerned is the exposure to yourself. Once you discover yourself (knowing your strengths and weaknesses), the sky becomes your footstool. Knowing yourself will enable you choose the course that taps into your strengths so that you will be the best at what you do, making you get any job irrespective of the university you attended. Even if there are no jobs you can also tap into your strengths and create opportunities for yourself and even others.

We need to redefine what it means to be exposed. Once you are exposed to yourself you will discover that you are distinctively made and hence you do not need to follow the crowd (you have no competition), create your own path and others will follow you.
Thanks so much for this wonderful reply.

Phone/Internet Market › Re: Mtn Introduces New Internet Data Bundles by rman: 3:43pm On Oct 18, 2011
trustidkid:
I never believe there is any good plan for populace form this institution of deceivers called MTN.
Guys it is high time for all to divert our attention away from MTN.
The bundle data plan is not an improvement at all.
Have you guys took time to examine the funlink reloaded plan of MTN which contravene their
advertisements on dailies.

I believe one day God shall save us from our leaders that is sacrificing his citizens for foreigners like MTN
to defraud us of our hard earn money through their unacceptable bundle plan.

Indian pay less than N200 per day to connect to internet without megabytes restrictions.
The same Indians that slashed prices in Airtel but tried to slash slaries in Nigeria for their call centre agents and there was an uproar. If you want the same rates as they have in India, Staffs must be willing to accept similar salaries as applicable in india. Bussiness environment is also completely different. You have only looked at one side of the coin.
Phone/Internet Market › Re: Mtn Introduces New Internet Data Bundles by rman: 3:36pm On Oct 18, 2011
I find it intriguing that everytime there is topic about MTN a lot of people respond quickly to claim MTN has ripped them off , MTN is a thieving company, bla blaa blaa.
These group of people also claim to have dropped MTN line a long time ago, or they are no longer interested in using it.
Funny enough, topics about other networks seems not to generate so much interest. One was about Etisalat new phone recently and it barely reached 3 pages. If these networks are the network of choice as we all claim, I expect by now that no one, will even bother to check anything about MTN not to talk of respond.
All I can deduce from these internet noise makers are MTN customers that are still holding onto MTN line but want them to give freebies like other networks. The last time I checked we have MTN, Etisalat, Zoom, Starcomms, Visafone, Airtel, Multilinks; with all these other available, and the option to choose is strictly with the customer, we quickly rush to the internet to complain about PRICE of just one network.
There is something they (MTN) must be doing right but we are all using the Nigerian hypocritical approach when it comes to MTN. The same way we complain about DSTV knowing fully well they are the best among all the available options.

Performance of a network in different locations and at different times may vary, but best network overall in Nigeria today is MTN and we all know it

Career › Re: Airtel Sacks All Her Customer Care Staff? by rman: 8:26am On Oct 02, 2011
"[b]My unreserved sympathy for those at the sharp end of forced structural adjustments. The truth though is that they face like the vast majority of us (with the obvious exception of government workers) the reality of globalisation worsened by the peculiarities of our very bad economy. However we need cheaper calls, like cheaper fuel, cheaper rents, etc and someone quite frankly has to pay for it.

Secondly, there is a prevailing misconception about the involvement of foreigners in economic activities via investments as those which bring sophisticated, overpaid jobs alone sometimes with conditions prevalent in the country of origin. Far from it because business considerations are governed 100% by cost and profit considerations.

I think the extractive industry has caused this and we know why they pay out of sync with the local economy. One, their products are 100% exported at a price no one can control, two the guilt factor, knowing it is a natural resource.

This skewed system has dulled our senses to the twin reasons why I for one would take my hard earned money abroad - an expansive and expensive market and two, cheap and sophisticated labour.  

Yes, Asia dominates world manufacturing today simply because they undercut western wages. Apple was accused yesterday of turning a blind eye to child labour practices among its suppliers and just today Nokia is tossing 3,500 jobs and shifting production from low cost Romania to lower cost China, yet no one perceives them as evil.

Airtel has every right to restructure its costs to survive and thrive. Anyway in present day Nigeria 240k for call centre job, haba. How much do air traffic controllers earn, how about engineers or junior doctors. Its unbelievably skewed.

Thus no thanks to Asians the aura and era of jackpot telecoms is fast fading for a more balanced reality.[/b] "

The quote above was made by a NL REFERENCE on a thread related to this( Airtel reduces workers salary by 60%)

He clearly understand what is going on

If they pack out, the new entrant will come and implement the same 30k you sent Airtel out for. Bussiness decision is made based on where the bussiness is heading not what has happened in the past. This is the reality in the telecoms sector. Protest and shouting on internet is not the solution to the problem.
Career › Re: Airtel Sacks All Her Customer Care Staff? by rman: 7:35am On Oct 02, 2011
It is sad things have to come down to this.
I continue to state the fact that Telecoms operators are the ones that continue to reduce tariffs due to competiton without any visible sign that the operating environment in Nigeria has changed. In fact the cost of operation has consistently gone up. Technology is also evolving at a very fast rate in the industry so the need to consistently change or upgrade their equipment. The obvious one POWER translating to DIESEL is also there.
We should all forget what we hear about them making profits, the profit margings are down seriously and most of them are looking for ways to keep the bussiness running profitably. If you are an engineer in these companies you will agree that HUAWEI and ZTE products are now dominating while Erricson, Alcatel and Siemens are seriously losing market due to this simple reason of cutting costs( chinese products are cheaper).

The OP lied about GLO paying customer care agents 200k, I can tell you that all the operators are running there bussiness in Nigeria using similar bussiness models. Outsourcing is the current trend now. MTN and GLO have not implementd it yet but I can confidently tell anyone on this forum that very soon they will follow suit.
I know people and have friends that work for all the major operators in Nigeria and the story is similar, Even Etisalat that came with mouth watering offers in terms of renumeration have calmed down. It is Airtel today, but it will be MTN and GLO tomorrow. Etisalat is already using the managed services model since they started.

Once again it is sad that people have lost their jobs but a wholistic approach to solving this problem is for government to help out. Power issue should be resolved quickly and
NITEL and MTEL must work for this to stop, SIMPLE.

Dis guy you don come again abi. Always out to justify the crazily high tariffs you and your sick employers have imposed on nigerians. Try and read the article again and see the real reasons why the psychos want to effect the salary slash. Dont be deceived. Its not because they need to survive.
i am only stating the obvious. you should read the article again not me. if a company is doing so well, why is there a need to slash staff salaries? my brother the main factor here is the bussiness cant sustain these staffs slaries and the bussiness has to do something. forget all the cars and food stuffs. i will pay one million naira per month to a receptionist if the bussiness is profitable that way.  i hope you know it is  not only airtel that will do this, mtn, glo and etisalat will soon follow suit. i am not happy with this development but this is a reality will all have to accept.

This is what happens when an operator comes into a market and the first thing they did iwas to slash tarrifs. Good move but is it sustainable for the bussiness? All other operators will soon adopt this model because telecoms is a game of numbers. Do what you have to do to make sure you hold unto or snatch customers from other operators. Whenever there is a sudden price slash without significant improvement in the operating environment, some people have to pay. This time it is the staffs. The bussiness need to survive.
