@efemena and k2039, I agree it looks awkward epscially being told by the opposite sex, but even people of the same gender won't even say anything. Judging by wat I felt today, I think its important they know and I am sure they would really appreciate it

Something happened to me on my way to work today. Aapparently one of the buttons of my blouse had been left undone. More especially as I noticed that I had more than a fair share of admirers today(albeit for the wrong reason). And as a fine chick, I was loving the attention, until a lady told me that one of my buttons was left undone. As much as I appreciate her efforts, I begin to wonder why all the people who were admiring(supposedly) didn't deem it fit to tell me. And I begin to wonder, why do we find it difficult to tell some "hey your fly is open", "button up your top"? etc. I really appreciate what the lady did because I could have gone the whole day looking not knowing that a portion of my private anatomy is making its way to the public...

@Ezeed..good point

Sunrose consulting just sent me an sms yesterday inviting me for an interview on monday. Honestly, I haven't attended any interview in a long while. I would like to ask if anyone here on nairaland has ever attended their intereview, what are the likely questions? Any useful suggestions, recommendation and advice would be highly appreciated. I really need a new job.

@okwalfugo...I am touched...you have given me encouragement to move. I really appreciate your response. The business is not capital intensive and I can access my profit on a daily basis.

Thanks a lot for the advice, @achyc, I am not happy at all. But I just want to make good plans so that wen I leave, I can have something to do. I ve been counting the days and I can't wait. @chris, u took the words right out of my mouth, it does affect me to the extent that once I am at work I just switch off...

I presently work in the hospitality sector, though
the job isn't what I really wanted to do, I was
My decision to accept the offer because of the need
To leave the house. The issue now is this;

1. I no longer find the job fulfilling
2. It is time consuming as I work everyday(public
Holidays, xmas and new year day inclusive)
3. Often times I find myself subconsciously asking myself
questions like 'what are u doing here?'

I have a good business idea, though on a very small scale
but which I believe has the tendency to grow overtime. I want to leave
My present job in january(I can't wait) and then focus on that business
Pending when I get my desired job(I love advertising).

I would love to hear from entrepreneurs and businessmen out here
On nairaland. Thank you

Good morning people!

This is an observation...

I have noticed this trend on Nairaland ever since I joined this site, members' penchant for insults. I would like to state that the fact that someone has a contrary opinion does not mean that you have to insult the person.
IMO insulting an Op or trading insults on nairaland is not only immature but it also reflects your orientation, the kind of person you are and your inability to express yourself logically.
For me, I pay no attention to insults neither do I reply, I just ignore. But for some, it takes a whole lot of courage to create a post and insults simply forestall any future desire to post again. #just an observation#
NB: if this post generates insults, in my characteristic manner, I ll just read over it like it never existed...☺

Miguel-Adorn. Ever since I downloaded it from waptrick, I just couldn't get enough of the song...

I am a 27 year old lady. This isue of my marriage
Has been bugging me and at times it gives me sleepless night
With all modesty, I m quite good looking, tall and with a moderate body shape.
The issue is I ve not had a date for the past one year. The fact that
My mates(and younger ones too) get married every saturday doesn't help matters too.
Also, for me, my routine for the whole year hass been work, home, work home(not even church) cos I work on sundays too(its a sshift job-hospitality sector). So my questions are1) would I ever get married? (2) how do I maintain a healthy social life ie avenues of meeting people? Ur advice would be highly appreciated. This is matters straight from the heart..- bruise easily sso be gentle...

I honestly believed it was God at work that day cos honestly, what if the driver hadn't stopped for me to get down? Later as I thought about the whole thing, I realised that while we were at the garage he didn't try to scout for more passengers. Anyways, I give God all the thanks that I am alive to tell the story, some are not that lucky....

He(driver) told the guy that they have been instructed to always take such people to the police station just in case they are armed robbers(so he claimed). The guy started begging, saying that he is very sorry, that he just came into lagos from kaduna where he and his boss were attacked by uncle BH. He claimed that he decided to escape with the cash so that his 'efforts would not go in vain'. The passenger(a guy in front) scolded the guy saying that what he did was wrong, that how is he sure that he did not murder his boss and eloped with his money. The driver now asked him how much was in the bag and he said 1.5million dollars! As soon as I heard this, I asked the driver to stop the car and I made to get down from the car, they stopped me say ing that this could be my big break and I sat down. The driver now asked him how much he was willing to give each one of us and he said $10k! Uhm! I must confess that at this point I was starting to believe that it was actually true. The driver now asked the guy if he was sure he did not kill his boss and he said no. The guy now informed us that there was a tira( islamic rosary) on the money and that if anyone can follow him to his aunty(who is a pastor)'s place somewhere in Bodija that she would neutralise the effect the tira might have on us if we share the money. It was at this point that the whole scenario registered on my mind as I remembered that I read something similar to this on nairaland. I quickly asked them to stop so I can get down. The driver pulled over to a side and I quickly got down. I ll appreciate if this can make front page. I am a kind of person that doesn't enjoy any illegit way of making money. I also believe that when you become greedy and look for easy ways to make money, u just make urself vulnerable to the wolves we have out there

Good day beautiful people of nairaland! This incident happeneed to me yesterday
Believe me it is very real. What would I gain from cooking up stories. My aim
Is to share this so that others can learn from it.
I was on my way to Ibadan yesterday to get certain documents, I boarded a bus Iwo raod, afer which I proceeded to board a cab down to ojoo. There were four of us in d car including the driver, the driver and a passenger in front while I sat with a guy at the back. We ha d only driven a few metres when the guy beside me said he wanted to alight amd the driver asked if he had stuffs at d back to which he replied yes.
The driver now asked him why he didn't say anything wen the last passenger alighted and that he was asking if anyone else had stuffs at the back and the guy didn't say anything.the driver claimed that while the last passenger was alighting, that her basket caught the zip of the bag and he discovered that there was a lot of money in the bag

There is this organisation that I know of. The staffs work really hard, most times on their feet all day. Yet, their remunerations is very low, yet the staffs don't get to be paid ds salary till on the 15th to 20th of the next month. At times, some of the staffs get debited for repairs that the company ought to have paid for. This company is a major player in the hospitality sector.(Fast food). I believe the NLC shouldn't just fight the govt alone but they should also look into the conditions of service of employees in some private organisations.

Lol

Thank you all for ur various advice, I sure did pick something from every post. @ chaircover..I really appreciate, I can see y u re voted as the best. @ andromida, d guy in question is 34. I m not scared dat my biological clock. Far from it. Its just that I m getting used to ds guy n I wanna stop myself before I go nay further. But with d advise I ve gotten here I m sure I d make d right decsion.

Now I am going to say it d way it is, all u read here is not fiction
Its d truth and nothing but the truth..there s ds guy I met, he seems interested in me, calls me, takes me out and also picks me up from work. The clause here is that he has 3 kids which he is not tryn to hide. He says he s not married. I wasn't too
Comfortable wit hs explanation on y he is not married. Now, I find out I m getting used to hs calls and pings. So I want to ask, would I be jumping d gun if I ask him what he wants from me before we go any further. I am 27 and d kids issue is a minus for me. I mean @ my age, wat I need is a serious relationship from a single and unattached guy. Ypur sincer and honest advice would be highly appreciated...

I wonder if its low self esteem that makes our ladies put up with situations like these. He does all these to u when u guys aint even married yet? I sure hope u don't expect him to change when u get married. What u ve just written is enough for u to run as far as ur legs can carry u. U know ds aint right
