Scam...Run for your Life. Are you sure its Nigerian Breweries that you applied to? That's not NB style at all. So you had better wise up and run as fast as your legs can carry you.

hontimothy: Psychiatric Hospital, Uselu, Benin City calls for aptitude test on 25th August, 2013. Who got it? call: 08050228933

25th August is Sunday, are you sure about that date?

Babzilla: OK GUYS I GET
THE PASTOR CANT TRACE EVERY DIME
NOW IT S BEEN REVEALED IN THIS CASE
THAT STOLEN FUNDS HAS BEEN DONATED
ISNT IT LOGICAL THAT THE PASTOR
WRITE A CHECK REFUNDING THAT ILL
GOTTEN WEALTH. TO SHOW THAT THE
MINISTRY WILL NOT BE PART OF SUCH

Seconded and Thirded...!

IboBoyNuel: It is funny how people think from there A55

Just imagine you went to donate 100k in church and d pastor asks u ur source of d money and u start narrating how u got d money.

Those of you commenting trash about d bishop and how he runs his ministry, I think you should tell me d church you attend lemme see if they onlY gv #5 as offering

Dah sm1 donated 11millon naira to a Church and u expect d pastor to tell him to account for it? Dat is between him and his God not him and d pastor


A pastor flies A jet, and so what? Is there a place in d bible written that a pastor should not fly a jet? And BTW d jet Was donated My his members WILLINGLY not by FORCE


A pastor builds a school, a GOOD school not lyk our FED and STATE uni u suggest he should make it cheap?..do u wonder how he pays d lecturers and hw he funds d skul? U should knw Dat notin GOOD comes easy...he built a university for students WORLWIDE not for his church members..it is CONVENANT UNIVERSITY not LIVING FAITH MEMBERS UNIVERSITY. BTW Babcork university is also owned By a church. And d last tym I checked it wasn't free of charge nor cheap

in the catholic church I understand it is d members somtimes takes care of d priest..does he question there source of money? As a priest is he working? If not d work of God what else? People should think before posting trash about a man of God

By the way whatever u guyz post won't even change d way he runs his church

Me : Emeka! Emeka! Emeka! I hope the containers of contraband goods will soon arrive? Emeka : Yes Sir, we are expecting them to arrive soon. Me
: Very Good, as soon as they arrive make sure you remember to forward our Tithe on it. Emeka : Ok sir, no problem i would do that immediately. Me : Ok, Good that's all for now, you can get back to work and don't forget to close shop on time today.

Olumikedos: this Army officer was exposed simply because he paid tithe wrongly. BISHOP DAVID OLANIYI OYEDEPO is a true Man of God. This is a lesson to everyone who loot treasure and pay tithe. STOP or else you will be exposed!

Why pay such tithe to the church when there are bad roads, no portable water, Lack of basic health centres, poor and lots of hungry people in the community you live in ? i don't understand how this tithe thing even works, does it mean if i fail to show love and care to my poor neighbours from my community. I still get the favour i deserve from God because i pay my tithes?

[/quote][quote author=obo_man]I find it annoying that some Nigerians would defend their churches irrespective of any crime they have been indicted with.


One of our greatest problems in Nigeria is GREED. We are Greedy and we are also pious.( we revere our pastors, Imams, e.t.c)

To solve this problem of Greed, what our churches could do is embark on massive infrastructural development campaign. If all churches in the south start to build free or heavily subsided schools, hospitals, training institutions, etc, then they will be inspiring members of those churches to be nation builders, be less greedy and less selfish.


Imagine if anytime I go to Winners' or RCCG, if after each service, we are told to go clean a primary school classroom for the community, go dig a free bole-hole for the community, and are told our supernatural blessings are tied to it, Winners' and RCCG will invariably be creating Nigerians that will be less greedy.


If my kids also partake in such communal development, when they grow up, they will be good citizens and will have it engraved in their minds to give back to their communities.

Our future generation will then have less of looters like this soldier, and less of thieving politicians.


Someone might say ......'hold-on', why should it be the responsibility of these religious leaders?'

My answer would be.... Almost all Nigerians believe in God and are pious, so if our religious leaders use the influence they have, and channel it towards Nation building, only then can we truly build a country.[/quote]

dvdon: To all the oyedepos critics, honestly speaking if u were in oyedepos shoes, wat would u ve done?

^Above is what he should have done...its very simple isn't it?

^I hope that email up there is not the one you have been using to send your applications? If it is, then that's too bad, because it only shows you as an unserious and very lousy person to any prospective employer.

Bobbyendy: A friend of mine who stays in lagos just graduated from law school and is thinking of starting up with a firm, but he got a bussiness with an enterpreneur which can guarantee him @least 50k daily with prospect of increase in pay but it require him moving from lagos..base on this he is confused hence help is needed by people who are well experience..should he take up the bussiness or go ahead in search of the firm which he is not aware of basic things like the start up pay if he is taken by a firm..pls advise is needed

You failed to mention the Nature of the business that would guarantee him 50k daily? If it is genuine and legal can you link me up with that please? Well on deciding for your friend, i would say let him follow his passion, and in this case if taking up an appointment with a small law firm is what he wants because of his passion for the profession, then i would say he should better go with that, otherwise he can opt to become self-employed by going into business as an entrepreneur.

adedayor08: using the lawyer's case as a typical example;
as a lawyer, you need evidence to win cases in the court. Imagine in a murder case where bromate is found on the corpe that could be the missing piece of puzzle to uncover the whole truth. Fink carefully bro

^ Please provide your answers to this MAN'S query.

Serendipity: It becomes foolhardiness and unbecoming when we are unreasonably obstinate to the extent that we fail to admit the truth.

I stated unequivocally, that one had better acquire knowledge that there is high possibility of one using. In everything there is an opportunity cost, the opportunity cost of acquiring the knowledge of Spanish is that knowledge of Hausa language I would have acquired which will now be forfeited.
=
Now, there is a possibility that I will get to use the knowledge of Spanish, but the possibility is lesser than that of Hausa given that If would go abroad, definitely, it wouldnt be to a Spanish country. Or what's the possibility of my serving as an interpreter?
=
THE OPERATIVE WORDS HERE ARE: the possibility of using the knowledge.

==
At certain point those days, I wanted to buy a Piano and then get a trainer, but on mature reflection, it became clear, that the possibility of my using that is infinitesimal and that it would be more politic to choose something that will have bearing on my life. And I did.
=
It is better to use my time judiciously in acqisition of knowledge that use it in nugatory things.

Now how do you reconcile the example of Pitman Shorthand that I cited with your rejoinder?

Do you know it is sheer arrogance to want to force your own beliefs and opinion on others? Please define truth for me? What is truth to you may not necessarily be the universal truth to others. Stop for a minute and try to view the world through the eyes of others with recourse to your own views. On the pitman shorthand example you cited, what if you are appointed tomorrow to a position in government circles that would require the use of such a skill or is that not a possibility as well? Again citing the example of the relevance of the spanish language vis-a-vis the Hausa language doesn't even hold a bearing on this discussion for the following reasons ; (1) The Spanish language was propagated by Missionaries, Merchants and Slave masters from the Spanish to several other nations where they traded centuries ago hence the wide coverage of the language, was the hausa language propagated in a such manner? (2.) if you are an indigent hausa born, would you require going through extra-mural lessons to learn it? It is with the coming of globalization that we are now beginning to see the need to learn foreign languages, i once watched a feature on tv where a european man living in Northern Nigeria could speak not only hausa language but also the native indigent language of the people he was living amongst. So it should be same for you, if you will be going abroad, you can always learn the language when you get there, but then when you get back home and you no longer have a need of that language you learnt, would you call it a waste of knowledge? When it wasn't during the period you needed it, so why should it become a waste now that you don't need it? In countries like America and Canada that are predominantly english speaking, do you know that the knowledge of the spanish language would still be an invaluable asset to you, because as far as i know there are still a sizable number of spanish speaking communities in those countries. If truth is to come from only one source, what then is the credibility of such truth when it hasn't been tested by others?

Serendipity: Nice to have you around Saintz.
That something 'appears' to be something doesnt mean that it is so. So there is no contradiction when I said that is appears axiomatic and sacrosanct. Ok?
Coming back...

Ok...Waiting to see what you want to unveil this time.

famewo87: Was at the secretariat in Ibadan today, form not available till Monday.

Can i ask you for a favour? - If you collect the form/forms on the said Monday, Please can you kindly scan them before filling so that you can help send it to my email? This is an appeal oh.

ls the program only going to be organized in the two cities cited above? What about other cities? I'm asking this because you added that name of City should be sent alongside other information above.

@ Op...i think in one full swoop you have succeeded in contrasting your own opinion in the initial post. In the opening line you opined that -no knowledge is wasted appears to you as axiomatic and as arguably sacrosanct, and in your last line statement you then went on to say that it would be stellar to have a "smattering" of many things. Now, with emphasis on the word "smattering", i'm trying hard to figure out how you would have done that if no single amount of time was put into it to gather the little knowledge you termed "smattering". Mind you the knowledge of a thing doesn't have to be acquired in full for you to term it actual knowledge. You also opined that having a particular knowledge of a thing that has no modicum or bearing on what the future tends to hold for you is sheer waste of time because you may never get to use it. I would say you were wrong there in that assertion because, how would you actually get to know what lies ahead of you when you haven't even gotten there? Or do you have a foreseer gift of telling what the future will bring? In my own candid opinion, i would rather opine that no knowledge is actually wasted until it is left unused. It has to be so because you never can tell when that little "survival skill" you garnered at one time or the other would become very handy to you at a critical point in your life, so i would rather not dismiss any knowledge no matter how irrelevant it may seem at a particular time on the premise that it is never going to be useful to me, when i know we all live in a constantly dynamic world. Finally, i think it is best to make myself feel "important" at any particular stage in life rather than feel "impotent" at a near unforeseeable stage in the future.

steffans: Anoda Hussling dat will Suffer the poor and the Jobless.. Wyl dos that have jobs and have people will get the available slots... Sorry I meant have bin giving the Jobs already!!!

9ja.. We have done dis more than 3 times now with the same story!!!

Wishing u all d Best.. Dos dat will go thru the Hulla bulla...

its just sad that's going to remain the story....until a revolution happens that will change the lawless and corrupt system in our country.

The question i would like to ask is - can one apply to two or more positions e.g as a scientific officer in Ministry of Environment and as a Legal Meteorology officer in the Ministry of Trade and Investments? I don't know if one could apply to these two different posts and not be disqualified all together...#Just saying...! Who has a different opinion on this..?

famewo87: I meant Scientific officer pls, not environmental officer. Thanks

Procurement officer position would be best for you because of your background in economics and perhaps that procurement office would be viewed as more juicy by most people #just saying...!

The true test of a Man's Intelligence would be his ability to identify that intelligent woman, snap her off her feet and make her bear his seeds as well as nurturing and caring for them.

coogar: poverty is a curse - set ablazed for stealing a chunk of meat in the pot? nigerian women and their brutish ways.....

This is just so sad because the kerosene the wicked witch of a woman used must have been much and definitely more expensive than the piece of meat she alleged the poor girl stole - Aaaah...this is sheer wickedness, may God save us from such wickedness.

xoctic: Wow dis is cul

which one are you?

I'm ectomorph by the way, and the last time i tried muscling up, my stomach wall muscles got ripped. I don't want to do that again except under the diligent guidance of a fitness expert. @ Op is it true also that the ectomorph males tend to be the most intellectually astute males amongst the three groups listed? - waiting for a reply on this.

Zeddicus: Those of us that are slim but have really broad shoulders would prolly be classed as Windows 8.

Yeah...still the ectomorph..thingy, broad shoulders, but flat chest.

utumunta: The thyroids usually have small-sized bossoms!
Damn! It keeps a man straying.

You are right...!
