Too many guests. I don't like having to put up a show for strangers on such a personal occasion.

Behold Miss Nigeria:

I think she's ok.  Better luck next time!

Being an all-powerful government agency, The Nigerian Film and Censors Board doesn't have any supervising body to tell them whether the work they are doing is good or bad, so they have no way of knowing how they should improve. The question is, "who will supervise the supervisor?"

The depiction in "phat girls".

Hmmm. What do they want to do with the information?

You can post the nanny story as a new thread.
Personally, I find it distasteful.
All rich people started out somewhere, that is not what matters.

Can you come up with a list of 20 or more current non-literature topics on Nairaland that would be at home in the Arts/Literature section?

Be careful about this job. I hope it's legal. Don't pay any money to get the job.

We have lots of problems but so does every other country.
The biggest ones we have are NEPA, tribalism/fanaticism, and open corruption.

Hello,

I will like us to list the career pages of all Nigerian Companies here, including oil companies, banks, SMEs, non-profits, government agencies, etc.  So job seekers can check them regularly.  I will start by quoting an old thread:

chidichris:
i want to buy a yatch, who knows which bank i can get loan from to secure this yatch urgently?

All the loans involved in this debacle were used for business purposes.
That's why people are saying the approach the government is taking is too high-handed.

If you don't have to kill to defend yourself, then the morality of killing in self-defense is questionable.
I would rather have people armed with shields, tasers, stun guns and pepper sprays for self-defense.

Thanks.

Hmm, I wonder what's going to happen to the bank he withdrew 3 billion naira from in one day.

If he was a performer, why has he not fully liquidated his debt before now.

Many businesses rely on revolving credit facilities.  Their debts are serviced, not "fully liquidated.

Thanks.

rickie4us:
Please, does anyone have info about RAPSON (RISK AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION SOCIETY OF NIGERIA)? They are conducting an interview on Saturday in Abuja. I was invited but have this funny feeling about them because I had to pay N3,500 to them through Oceanic Bank. They say they have vacancies for 30,000 Nigerians.
Does anyone have any info about them?

Definitely a scam.  I don't think even Dangote employs that many people.

Possible Explanations:
1)  Bullet-prof vest: The man was said to be security-conscious
2)  Malfunctioning Stun Gun/Tranquilizer: No ransom if kidnap victim is dead.
3) The simplest explanation: he was not shot. Rumor mongering is not good. Desist from it.

I hope you make lots of money with it. Good luck!

pcicero:
I don't know how old some folks were at that time. I wasn't much old then but i was always reading TELL then.
There was an OAU conference in 1997 and they had this picture of Sani Abacha there as pale as death. Then the news broke out that he had liver cirrhosis

Thanks for the info.

I thought the issue was whether he died of sickness or not. I am missing something?

Generally, when a person who is seriously sick (liver/heart/kidney disease) dies,
it makes sense to assume he/she died of the serious sickness unless otherwise proven.

What about you? What are you up to? Searching for a job, obviously. But what else?

Literature/Art might work, but Graphics/Art will also work. Which option is better?

Detailed information has been made available on his death, yes it had to do with a woman (his former girlfriend) who was given spiked viagra by a general who didn't know of the plot to kill him and not the Indian women story that the media fed Nigerians.

Can you point me to the source of this "detailed information"? It's not on wikipedia.

mikeansy:
no one is sure yet of what killed Abacha except members of his inner circles

He looked sick and pale in his last days but his death was not as a direct result of his illness

Some claim he died on top of a woman and used excessive steroids, others claim he was poisoned by the Bamayi's of this world after the league of generals got tired of his leadership style.

I think the truth about his death will be a subject for History students to study in 50years time.

Thanks for the info.  (I remember Abacha's skin turning pale like Yar-adua's skin around the time he died, so I assumed that was what killed him, which may be wrong, of course.)

Yeah, we need a source to verify the claim that Alhaji Abdularahaman Bashir is dating one of the president's daughters.

Afam:
You tell me. This is the first time I am reading from someone that he died of sickness so I need you to educate me on this.

You're the one correcting me. What do you believe killed him?
