Jobs/Vacancies / Re: NERC Recruitment: What's the update? by seyi42k(m): 2:36pm On Jul 21, 2014 |
GMB4REAL: @ Furrylaw & brosiye99...Thank u very much for the updates. Pls i urge us all to keep the house updated as soon as things happen. Let us all keep the faith, workhard & pray 2 God 2 c us thru. I disagree, One thing you did not consider are the results from the Zonal test. If NERC 'decides' that the test score does not meet its standard (very unlikely as this is Nigeria), it might decide to cull candidates from the Zonal applicants to the Head Office (though also unlikely). Therefore, if the result of the HO test is generally poor and that of the Zonal test is good (I believe it was), who is to say the the chances of the HO applicants will not be hampered. Kindly note that this is a conjecture and is therefore my opinion, not fact. The lesson is that we should always strive to do well at any time, after all anything worth doing at all is worth doing well. 2 Likes |

buchio7: Hi Buchio7, Given the fact that the Zonal Update NERC recruitment you created has disappeared due to the data loss, Kindly create a new one so that we can allow the Head Office recruitment applicants to continue using this thread. Also, has any other person received refund for transport, i.e. for Zonal recruitment interview. Thanks. |

All the best to those going for the interview on saturday and monday. One love Abeg my guy, I am going for my own interview 7:30 am tommorrow. Any help will be highly appreciated. |
Car Talk / Re: Driving Rules In Nigeria by seyi42k(m): 9:58am On Oct 10, 2013 |
oluface: Becareful of those He_Goats called Local Goverment Traffic Waden. If you make any slight mistake where them dey Na 20k with beg oo. Those Yaba Loacal Government Waden Alway put on Brown Uniform with the Name of Yaba Local Government on it. They are everywhere. Their own pass police own o. I want to advise Nairalanders to stand their ground against any unauthorised traffic warden. The Lagos state constitution only recognises LASTMA & the Police. Those Yaba guys are criminals and theives. Do not let them harrass you. They have no right to arrest you even if you are on the wrong side of the law. It has gotten to a stage where they now know my face and that of my boss at work because we always take them to task. I have rescued a driver from their hands last 3 weeks and they had to leave the driver alone. The issue here is that a lot of us do not read our constitution and do not know our rights. Always have a copy of the traffic rules in you car and throw it at there face any time they want to harass you. Don't ever answer them or hand over your car keys. They are crooks who have been set up by the local govt chairman to raise illegal money. If you notice, their mode of dressing, visage and carriage are no different from that of touts and criminals. Lastly, as a driver in Lagos, it might be wise to cultivate a lawyer as a friend. If you have money, install cameras in your car, you never know when it will come in handy. |

Can anyone who has attended the interview give us an update as to how the interview was conducted. What was your view of the interview? Where there many candidates? Is there another interview after this one? Any kind of feedback? What kinds of questions were asked? etc. We will appreciate it for those of us yet to attend the interview. |

Religion / Re: Where Pastor Adeboye Got It Wrong by seyi42k(m): 5:26pm On Aug 16, 2013 |
darealez: Solomons Temple? What happened to it at the end of the day. Was it not destroyed and broken to pieces. We are not thinking well in Nigeria. What did God give us wisdom for. Instead of enlarging the auditorium which already causes a lot of anguish to road travellers, why not use a little amount to improve satellite broadcast? Instead of holding one massive event, why don't we make it quarterly? Instead of holding it in one place, why don't we hold it in 4 places all over the country to reduce people the number of people that congregates in a place? I am sure a lot of road travellers don't bless the church for causing them anguish every time this convention is held, now imagine enlarging an auditorium to 3 km. We really don't think deeply. This kind of thing will never happen in saner climes without the church paying massively for upgrading certain public infrastructure. |

ocelot2006: They are not utopian, yet they are far better than we. They may be war, but they still have power supply. Can you say the same for us? You keep people keep repeating fastest growing nonsense, even a mad man keeps growing in levels of insanity. What has our growth turned into. Has it increased manufacturing? Has exports increased, especially Non-oil exports? Has education improved? You are cynical about another's country's fight for independence of its soul, yet are praying to God that our country improve. Well we are a long way from where we are expected to be. You ask why they are fighting if life was so good. They are fighting because life can be better. They believe they have wallowed in mediocrity for long and now is the time to rescue themselves from tyranny. I see you enjoy the state this country is in; the bombings, kidnappings, piracy, terrorism, corruption etc. Yes we should thank God and be appreciative that Boko haram has not bombed MMA or the third mainland. Until then there is no problem. It was until a friend lost his mother to kidnappers in the east on the 24th of December 2011. That was when I knew, that we are already at war with ourselves. Yes, lets be appreciative of mediocrity. Afterall, we have not started killing ourselves, Abi. |

Delafruita: Stop repeating this. Democratically elected or not, democratic dictatorship is the worst of all. Mugabe is "democratically elected" Paul Biya is "democratically elected" Yoweri Museveni "democratically elected" At what point does democracy stop being democracy. If he had being wise, he would have lead Egypt on a new path yet he started making the same mistakes that his predecessor made. The same thing that Obj did and now he is saying that Nigeria is cursed because "new generation" of "leaders" have failed this country. The very same Obj who gave up Bakassi peninsula so that the west would overlook is 3rd term bid. A 3rd term bid that would have set the same precedent experienced in the likes of Cameroon. The same Obj that fousted uopn this country an sick president and an inept deputy. He is now an ardent critic of his handiwork. Lets stop being political philosophers and start being realist. Morsi would have set Egypt on a path divegent from its core character. He would have made Egypt into an haven for terrorist. You talk about the west not criticizing, has Saudi Arabia and other peaceful Middle eastern country come out to criticize? Anyway, we will see how this will end. It is just that other nations with similar issues as we have are burning up, that should be a grave warning to us. A grave warning indeed |

ocelot2006: Don't be intellectually dishonest. You love or will love to go to France or the US but have conveniently forgotten the people that have died in their revolution or war. Throughout history, how many countries can lay claim to being great without first having to wrestle power from a few who would have them in chains. You mention Bahrain, one would have thought that an oil rich country will be at peace. You see, human nature is the same everywhere. What the Egyptians are fighting for is not for now or the next 10 years, it is for 100 years to come. When I see a black football star being worshipped by whites, do you know who I always remember? Martin Luther King. Do you know how many other blacks also died in his silent revolution? You say that Nigerians should not revolt, I totally agree with you and other posters but do be deceived into thinking it has not started cue MEND, OPC, BOKOHARAM, MASSOB, JAMB etc. Then add kidnappings and piracy. What is happening in Egypt is a result for faulty leadership that plagues most African country. The west and some parts of Asia had witnessed this in the past, fought it, conquered it to an extent and has moved on. If you think this will not happen in this country with the way we are going, you might be in for a shock. Nigeria is already at war with itself and it is only a matter of time before we explode or implode. Do I wish for it? NO Do I look forward to it? NO Do I want to fight in it? NO BUT do I wish that my progenies or descendant grapple with the same problems I am grappling with now? NO Therefore, I am, like a lot of people in a quandry. Still undecided about how we will rescue this country. Still praying that God send a leader but secretly wishing that God should not pick him/her to be the Martin Luther for Nigeria who might end up losing his life and yet wishing that if he/she his picked, that God give him/her the strength to see it through. My heart goes out to the people of Egypt. |

It was a close match but I won the Nairaland Conference in my first season in the Fantasy Premier League. I also finished in the top 20 in Nairaland official league with over 2000 points which were my targets. Not bad for a newbie. Already gearing up for next season.

Politics / Re: Lagos Rejects Hijab In Public Schools by seyi42k(m): 12:37pm On May 16, 2013 |
The angel of the LORD also said to her: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers." (Genesis 16:11-12) This is the source of all their belligerence. Their actions are driven by a greater spiritual purpose that they themselves cannot define. They claim victimization yet insist on illogical & ill thought out actions. They say hijab is islamic but they are wrong, it is the traditional wear of middle easterns and that is why even jews are found wearing a form of it. They want it in public schools, therefore Sango practitioners should have their sons plait hair to school, the ifa practitioners should have their children add the religious outfit to their uniforms. and what of the Ogbonis, the okijas, the animist. Yet even these other 'backward' religion know when to draw the line. They are usually present at every flash point of note in the world today. Don't be suprised that they will get their way in Lagos. But don't despair either because just like the hen that has landed on a rope, both the hen and the rope will not have rest. They want to use Lagos as a testing ground for this case. Should they succeed, don't be surprised that they will take it to the whole of the country. Make no mistake, this is not about the students or their rights, this is about religion using politics as a driver with sponsors that can be traced back to the Arab world. 1 Like |

mkmyers45: Hey there, This a thread for people who consider themselves as commitment shy [like myself] to talk out thier heart albiet anonymously. Anyway, Mine can be quite bad o...I have even been described as 'Emotionally Unavailable'. I try hard to grasp the magnitude and responsibilities associated with relationship. I have long term friends of both sexes sha. How does one make him/herself available emotionally? I try to be a romantic, a good guy and all. I suck at keeping up the call/text every minute thingy. Recently, its gotten so bad that a girl told me that i need to see a doctor as she can't figure out what is always on my mind and making me distance. Could be it because of my experiences at a tender age? I have to admit that sometimes im very worried where this may leave me in future... Hi OP, Nothing is wrong with. Kindly read 'Emotional Intelligence' by Daniel Goleman or 'Why you act the way you do' by Tim Lahaye. It will tell you about our mental and emotional states. You can then start learning about the kind of person you are. 1 Like |

Rossikk: I wonder the kind of training you had growing up. It bugles my mind the way you present issues and ideas. I read most of your post dispassionately and I have never found an iota of common sense. It is either you are contrarian and brutish to engender discussion on behalf of nairaland which will in turn increase page ranks like some have adduced to or you are really a government sponsored operative. However, it will really be unfortunate for you if you are neither any of the above but truly believe all the tripe you write. You stated that I insulted a company. I have gone through this thread and incidentally, you are the one insulting our collective sensibilities. You mentioned Nigersat....the very same one built in China? or was it built and sent to space in Nigeria? |

Rossikk: What are you talking about. Do you drive Innoson vehicles? How many chips did Zinox design or make and do you have a zinox computer at home? Was the satellite built in Nigeria? Even if you are a paid government agent (like a lot of nairalanders think and I am wont to agreeing with), you should concede defeat in certain areas. Even the US secretary of state will diplomatically acknowledge some shortcomings. Zinox Ko, Innoson ni. You should have mentioned that Nigeria has the largest number of pure water factories in the world. Now that we are assembling parts from all over the world, we are suddenly now a scientifically advanced country. Come on, even if you are a staunch believer in this hapless government. Once in a while, don't post mediocre points as the above. However, I cannot blame you, afterall this is the Nigeria of your dreams. 22 Likes |

I find it odd that we are rebasing our GDP all in the name of chest beating to show some fictitious growth when there are benefits in making the world believe we are a small economy just like Singapore did for years. Why? cheaper loans for one, more aids, less stringent requirements for certain things. This will allow us develop with more added pressure from comparing ourselves to other economies. |
Family / Re: She Threaten 2 Divorce Me If I Dont Dissociate Myself From My Best Friend. by seyi42k(m): 11:33am On Apr 07, 2013 |
zeefa: ************************************************************************ Hi Zeefa, Nollywood script or not, reality is often times stranger than fiction. Take a break from everything; posting on nairaland, talking with your friend, thinking about this issue etc. Go to disneyland or something. You have learnt some lessons which everybody that has read this thread will add to their own lives. Points of note for you, me and everyone. 1. Never register all your assets in the name of another in the name of love. Lawyers always advice against it because of issues like the one you have mentioned. Always seek fair representation, especially in societies overly sympathetic to a gender over the other, e.g. western societies are too feminine while african societies are too masculine. Again, always seek fair representation. 2. When this is over, forgive her threats. It could be a result of hormonal changes due to the pregnancy. 3. Cut down on your calls to your friend. However, there is nothing wrong in talking to a friend for over 2 hours daily. In fact the same scenario plays out in the small company I am working with now. I and my boss were former bankers who left banking last year. It was his friend in the UK who gave him 25% of his registered company so that he can manage it. The company is a success story so far. People should go and read the story of Goldman Sachs on how a family business can become a global giant. It often starts from relationships such as yours. Also, try to get your wife into intellectual discussions which could stimulate better communication between both of you. I have discovered that people with analytical/philosophical minds always have something to discuss every hour of the day. I always imagine myself living in the same room with Gani, Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe. Just imagine the quality and quantity of discussions. 4. As for your MIL. Seek counselling from your pastor. 5. Lastly, wetin all of una dey do for UK? If you are well to do, get an equivalent job in Nigeria and come make an impact here. I hear you talking about Solar for Ondo State. That is fantastic. However, it is your insistence to become a UK citizen that has given your wife an edge over you. Come back to Nigeria and build your wealth. The company that I work, which I spoke about above, been managed by my boss has made more money than the one in the UK. Infact, the other owners are now seriously considering relocating so that their children can understand what it means to be blessed and not take things for granted. If you have the connections that landed you a contract with the Ondo state govt. You should grow this connection and make an impact in the society while growing your wealth. This will be to the overall benefit of your family. Please take good care of your wife. Good luck. 1 Like |
